This happened to my mom when she had breast cancer. I wonder if this is a normal progression with that type of cancer? I have no idea why they did it, but they did do an autopsy when she died and her doctor basically said she was riddled with tumours throughout her entire body (she lived 7 years with cancer after diagnosis, who knows how long before). When I saw these images that's immediately what I thought of. It's very unsettling.
The description of getting into and out of the pool in the video is fascinating. (As is the idea that this will be staffed by someone in a wetsuit standing in the pool.)

The whole thing also seems like very much an exercise in "because we can" and excess as opposed to a remotely practical swimming pool.
I don't know notepad++, so I don't know if you can open any file in it from any directory just by typing the file name. I never navigate directory structures when opening files, because emacs completes files for me from any directory on my computer, and it saves me a lot of time, because I can open any file literally in seconds.

It would set back my productivity a lot if I had to use the open file dialog for this.
You have to answer the way most people would answer, not what is the most technically correct.

I suspect it falls back to the other methods, but if there are Google cookies, I'd have thought it starts with them cookies.
I know this is a really unpopular opinion, but what I don't get is why all this fuss over personal data? So what if facebook records what sites you've been to? If I visit starbucks, When I go to order my latte, the owners/baristas remember my name and face and maybe even what drink I ordered - you certainly don't mind that, right?

People aren't normally sensitive to these things: for example Govt on average takes 1/3 of people's incomes (thousand, tens of thousands of dollars) without the slightest hint of complaint. But when a company records where you've been online (with 0$ cost to you) it's all the sudden a disaster?

i genuinely struggle to understand this. if someone could explain it, that would be interesting.
Google does sell personal data, a little at a time. If I make an ad that targets young dog owners in Seattle, then when someone clicks that ad I know Google thinks they're a young dog owner in Seattle. Google sold me data about that person.

Much of peacetime military procurement is all about keeping defense contractors alive "just in case" (which you could look at charitably as "maintaining readiness for the next war" or uncharitably as "corporate welfare and pork barrel politics"). Right now, we're at peace. There's no reason for these companies to exist - except that if they didn't, it might encourage adversaries who believe it would be an opportune time for war.

A lot of things that don't really make sense on a military level make a lot more sense on a corporate welfare level. Each Virginia-class submarine is built half at Newport News in Virginia and half at Electric Boat in Connecticut; this is far more expensive than just building the subs in one yard, but is intended to keep both submarine manufacturers in business. The Ford class carriers and F-35 warplanes both contain numerous design innovations that don't really work in practice, but could be viewed as experimentation so that we have engineers with experience in various techniques should we ever need to rapidly build up the military later. The F-35 itself has a large number of subcontractors; you could look at that as a way to make sure that expertise in the program remains widely distributed across as many firms as possible.

I suspect the government is content to allow mergers because it doesn't really reduce the deterrent value of having these programs exist, and the whole point of their existence is to funnel money to defense contractors. If we actually got into a major arms race you'd probably see an explosion of new defense contractors as people start chasing the money available, but for now we're at peace with a shrinking military.
I don’t get frisson from music, but I do when I learn a new topic. Do others not get that?
Can confirm, I would pay for a version of Firefox with just four "features":

- No Pocket anywhere in the code

- No telemetry / experiments / Normandy anywhere in the code

- No network connections to third party hosts (other than websites I'm viewing)

- No "discovery" feed / whatever they're calling the activity stream sponsored content thing now anywhere in the code

Just let me monthly subscribe via Paypal or whatever, and give me a private build server link and tar.gz of the source.

To be clear, I think there's quite a decent size market for something that could mostly be accomplished with a bash script that runs "rm -r" a few times.

Support for detecting RSS in a page would be great, but that's probably not going to happen.
EUV is in production today with Samsung and TSMC's "7nm" processes, and the latter has started "5nm" risk production which uses even more EUV. Here's a recent SemiWiki article on details of what Samsung's foundry business is doing: https://semiwiki.com/semiconductor/259664-samsung-foundry-up...

Intel's all 193 UV "10nm" node (roughly equivalent to the above 7nm) is a failure, we'll see if they can get their EUV using "7nm" node to ship in quantity. In all these cases the demand for less power consumption in battery powered devices continues to drive demand, even if that demand isn't as healthy as it used to be.

PowerBI is not for developer. It's for Data Scientist/Business Analyst.

Someone will come and build the dataset (or known as model) and the BA/DS can start building visualization that make sense to tell story about the company (or to tell the story about something).

It's a whole different market/profession.
I use restic (for dumping an encrypted deduped backup to a usb drive) and rclone (for pushing to backblaze B2). Both fantastic tools.

But the vast (vast!) majority of users will be expecting Google as an option when they want to search. Removing it from the paid product by default would be a negative in terms of user experience.

From the end user perspective you'd be asking money for a product that takes more effort to set up. That's silly.

Electric cars have always seemed like moving deck chairs on the Titanic. They depend on the same energy infrastructure, transit paradigms, and global supply chains as regular cars, they just don't directly burn fossil fuels.
The other thing about amd64 is that amd64 code can safely ditch old features like x87 floating point, which is much slower than more recent features. Also, function calls will more frequently pass by register. And I can think of one OS specific feature that is better on amd64: when MS ported to amd64 they took it as an opportunity to speed up the ABI for Structured Exception Handling (SEH). The x86 one incurred a time cost even for code that did not throw.

Of course none of this applies to
arm/aarch64.
Yeah for me the hardest part about installing restic was remembering how to unzip a bz2 file. I don't know what more you can ask for than a statically linked binary...

A quick web search brings me to Magit’s page, which tells me that Magit is “A Git Porcelain inside Emacs” which just creates further questions. How does one make delicate pottery out of a version control system? In what circles is “a porcelain” a synonym for “user interface”?
It's good to live strictly by a philosophy, and I admire anyone who does this. I can't say I agree with Stallman's philosophy, because it places too high of an importance on communist principles which are inherently flawed and unjust.

There is nothing evil about closed-source software or proprietary licenses. Yes, it can be abused by greedy people, as can pretty much anything including water. But I wouldn't go so far as to say that all software must be open source as a step in humanity reaching its ultimate goal of perfection.

+1 for Dash. It's very good.
I think two things happened:

1) Computer vision got a lot better over the past few years. It's also become way easier for the average Joe bot operator to run cutting-edge stuff. OCR tasks don't cut it for distinguishing people from machines any more. Every time I see a blog post about a new computer vision architecture or how some random developer trained a neural network to get an X% result on benchmark Y, I think to myself CAPTCHAs are going to get more annoying.

2) The frequency at which most people have to solve a CAPTCHA has gone way down. In the beginning, I remember having to solve a CAPTCHA every single time I did anything on some sites. Now, I can't even remember the last time I had to do more than just check the checkbox. So, the amount of annoyance is amortized over a larger number of sessions, and Google probably feels like they can ask the user to complete more tasks as a result.
I stopped teaching Tableau because of the licensing costs to my students.

Tableau feels more polished than PowerBI although BI has pretty much reached feature parity with Tableau.

The problem is the licensing costs.
PowerBI is very affordable ($10 a month) while Tableau is not($70 and UP).

Tableau is basically saying, unless you have a corporation paying for the license err SAAS subscription do not bother to use us.

https://www.tableau.com/pricing/individual

There was a free option that was pitifuly unused and crippled to cloud only without any exports.

Then again by focusing only on companies for whom the licensing costs are a drop in a cloudy ocean Tableau brought in a 16B valuation.
Cancer is also harmful, particularly if not found early.
who are you referring to? The target audience for this product is specifically game developers whose users care about latency. Gamers that care about latency enough to make purchasing decisions based on them use wired ethernet if they're able to. The target demographic is decidedly not "people [who] seem to think it is ritually unclean to use wires so they use WiFi".
Some might opine that you did not so much buy that data as buy the benefit of using that data. Afterwards, Google still has the data they used and you still don't. This might be a distinction worth discussing.
If you're planning to join a remote team in a tech role, wouldn't it be fun to imagine how your future life would look like?

You would wake up in your bed, and walk to a coffee machine, and walk to your laptop, and then...

Would you have a daily standup and what time? Would you write words to a Slack channel, or should you physically stand up on a Zoom call? (meaning, should you have your clothes on at this point)

I asked some remote teams to share their engineering habits in the following categories:

- Daily Standups

- Pair Programming

- ️Agile Software Development

- Continuous Delivery

- Open Source Contributor

- Good For Junior Devs

- Learning & Sharing

I know there's room for the data to grow, so if you're running a remote team, you too can add your engineering culture – add your company to fill in the details:

If you're working in a remote team (well done!), it would be very nice of you to notify your boss. You'll definitely earn some karma points. I think.
Humans as a species are not to blame for the actions of the US military.
reCaptcha v3 works well for me. There are no challenges anymore and it just gives you a score based on whether it thinks the user is a bot/spammer, then you can do whatever with that. Personally if the score is low enough I just place the user in a restricted user group that needs approval on certain site actions.

Not sure why you think that, hospitals charge insurers a lot less than their sticker price.

Pricing is usually done as multiples of what Medicare pays, so insurers will build their network and usually have a cap at 2x Medicare. If you are taken to an out-of-network hospital during an emergency, the hospital can charge their regular prices, although this usually gets negotiated down for extended in-patient stays. As an uninsured individual, however, you would be liable for the complete amount, which is a lot more than what the insurance pays.
No, I'm not sure. It deem it unlikely though as those sound snippets are rather short and uncomplicated, something which I'd think any reasonable STT-system should be able to handle - which makes it vulnerable to those systems as well.
Until/unless we find some solution for regulatory capture, this direction is a lot less appealing to me. I hardly think the current regulation of telecoms is a good example of what's best for the public.
The implications this merger could have for local and national politics is understated.

Entire Congressional Districts whose main employer is either Raytheon or UTC could see their plants consolidated. Or closed.

Lobbyists for both companies will be working with each other on projects and initiatives, which could result in pressure for other defense companies to merge.
To be fair there are a dizzying array[0] of OSS backup solutions, and it's very much not apparently what features are most important. A simple post like this that outlines a single good enough solution with a modern tool is valuable IMO.

EDIT: Oh and restic has much more functionality than rsync, including deduplication and encryption. rclone is more of a "glorified rsync", but even then its array of backends makes it truly glorious.

As far as I can tell, it's only in git circles. Git refers to its command line interface as "porcelain" to distinguish it from the "plumbing" that is the .git folder.
Wow! Do you have DICOM files for that! Good thing they found all that! Good luck with all the surgery, you'll get better soon!
Well the ways that don't involve surgery are themselves less accurate heuristics with false positives. How can they calibrate without being certain if it is a true or false positive or negative?

Better imaging is an option but that often falls into dangerous in itself or easier said than done like say trying to do detection of cancer by scent.

Machine learning is fundamentally GIGO and tends to learn smartass shortcuts if one isn't careful. "The healthy sample data is less zoomed in while the cancer ones are zoomed in - therefore full chest x-ray is fine but a lung X-ray is cancer."
There's also the issue that it will lie to you if the alogrithm decides it simply doesn't like you. Which means you'll end up doing at least a couple of rounds before it decides to let you through.
This explained it quite well to mw previously: https://robindoherty.com/2016/01/06/nothing-to-hide.html
Should be fun when their fancy periscope style getting in and out mechanism jams. Or when there's a power cut.
This is possible to build on Android right now and something I've thought about myself. There is nothing stopping you or me from implementing it, and I've always thought that Amazon should have done it to make it easier to port applications into their ecosystem.
You could say the same thing about Ansible, or Chef or Puppet or any of the other millions of systems automation tools available. There are lots of ways to misuse software, I don't think that that should preclude people from writing it.
in new york, anyway, it's the other way around. Here are the examples we were given in EMT training:

If you're an off duty cop at a convenience store getting a slurpee at 3 AM, and the guy in line in front of you robs the place, and all you do is stand there, you are (potentially) liable. In practice, enforcement is pretty lenient here, especially if you don't have a service weapon on you, but you're legally required to make at least a token effort.

If you're an EMT in the hypothetical 7/11 with your slurpee and not on shift (or, i believe, in uniform) and the guy in front of you keels over from a massive heart attack, you can stand there and watch him die and nobody can touch you. IF you touch him (and start chest compressions or whatever), now you can't leave until you hand him off to an ambulance crew or someone more medically qualified than you. If you _are_ on shift, you must act no matter what.

There are additional complications for volunteer EMTs versus paid EMTs that don't pertain here but relate to at which points which legal statutes cover you or don't.
I guess, but that's basically the same information that you can get through the referer header in HTTP or by A/B testing different print ads. If you put up flyers in a certain neighborhood telling people to visit a URL, and you put up flyers in a different neighborhood with a different URL, then when somebody visits your site you know where they live.

This is of a dramatically different scale from the information Google has for its own purposes.
The number of calories lower class Indians are consuming is dropping, which your link has got to in part be reflecting. It's a mess.

Not entirely accurate. The GDPR restricts the terms they can use, for example. And anti-discrimination law probably also applies. These don't really apply to captcha, of course, under current interpretations.

Bills of Exchange on Ethereum Blockchain
We launched a decentralized application that makes possible to create and to transfer electronic bills of exchange on the Ethereum blockchain:

https://cryptonomica.net/bills-of-exchange/

Electronic bills of exchange can be created as smart contracts implementing all the requirements of an "instrument" as defined in Geneva Convention or of an "order in writing" as defined in U.K. Bills of Exchange Act 1882 or of a "draft" as defined in U.S. Uniform Commercial Code.

Bills of exchange smart contracts are created by the "Bills of Exchange Factory" smart contract. Every new created smart contract with bills of exchange get its number, Ethereum address and code automatically verified on etherscan.io

Bills of exchange are created as tokens (ERC20) in smart contract, where every token is a bill of exchange in blank - payable to bearer (bearer is the owner of the Ethereum address witch holds the tokens, or the person he/she represents), but "not to order" - that means no endorsement is possible and the token holder can only transfer the token (bill of exchange in blank) itself.

To draw or to accept bills of exchange a person has to use Ethereum address verified on Cryptonomica.net, and has to sign an arbitration agreement that makes possible to make legal claims on payments on bills and to resolve disputes in our online arbitration tribunal.

Interesting. It looks like the Castagnoli polynomial is optimized assuming independent bit errors, while the "standard" CRC32 is optimized for consecutive bursts of bit errors (e.g. whole-byte errors). I guess it depends on the use case.

Thank you for the details! Same situation, trouble going to sleep for most of my adult life. Going to give this a shot to see how it works for me.
Addendum: I also read a couple dozen business books from the prison library. Was quite good.
I was recently setting up my machine and figured I'd try 'mutt', the terminal mail reader. It's a pain to install and isn't great for HTML emails, but it sure is blazing fast and allows me to create custom macros that are really useful. Maybe if I stick with it, it'll be faster than GMail. But then again, after I set up some filters, my volume of email to look at in GMail was pretty low, so the performance advantages of 'mutt' are not as important now. It feels super cool though. We can't underestimate the aesthetic value of cool terminals.
It was not an off-topic question, it was making a point about political ads and has nothing to do with the above.

+1 for rclone here. It can indeed copy between remote backends. Just keep in mind that that data all has to flow through the rclone process. You could probably get much better performance by running rclone itself on an ec2 instance. Just keep an eye on your throughput usage.
I would be a lot more OK with this if Google were only using that data about me themselves instead of letting anyone with a little money use it too!
Not really, no.
