Wow. How does it compare to the store bought milk of today?
Why not? Isn't public/social housing basically that?
Absolutely stunning scenery. I’ll speculate that they’ll offer some sort of subscription service which allows you to stream high quality textures beyond what the standard install provides. It would also be incredible to see AI powered ATC. Something that is a little more adaptive and real would be amazing. For instance I’d love to be able to declare an emergency and have the ATC actually understand that. ATC seems very plausible for AI as there’s a somewhat limited set of instructions that need to be understood, and basically anything beyond that would be icing on the cake compared to what’s available in FSX/X-Plane (aside from the real ATC plugins.)

This is the main thing. The farm subsidy can be considered an exorbitant, market distorting subsidy. But food is too important to the very fabric of society, that it has to be available at reasonable prices at all times.

It is likely that the different perceptual capacities of mammals and birds is the actual reason why peppers produce capsaicin. They "want" their fruit eaten by birds, who will scatter the seeds widely, not by mammals who will not.
Jesus, you ain't kidding. A carousel with 8 slides, each a different product. I'm just starting to absorb what the difference is between the product on tab 3 and the products on 1 & 2 and then I'm looking at product #4.

And if you look at their product page they actually have 11 products and a discontinued section with 10 more products in it.

Half the time I think I want to work for a company of nerds, by nerds, and for nerds.

Then AutoDesk would drop the money on the table, fork your code and develop new features in the same time, then bundle free Arnold, and every AutoDesk format. And then youare ruled out. This is the same as it's happening with AWS.
They may not be able to compete on prize, but as they got a much bigger budget, you are already out, unless they are very incompetent and you are not.

Also, this is assuming your initial software is worth "stealing", it has to be good enough first, which Blender is nowadays.
Yeah I've reported reviews before because they were clearly purchased by the business (which was nose-diving and the real reviews showed it).

Yelp didn't pull the reviews because they couldn't prove that they were by people who are related to the business owners. They were all fresh accounts with no other activity, and all used the same style. Silly that yelp tags real reviews as fake but doesn't yank the truly bogus reviews.
> Lack of trust due to lack of eye contact

> Let's use fake eyes instead

Not sure that works out there..
Latency is the issue for me more so than eye contact.

On video chat sometimes I’ll say something like “mmhmm” or “yes” in agreement, and accidentally throw the speaking party off because my comment was delivered after a normal pause in speech due to latency.

This interruption of normal conversation flow is more problematic to me than eye contact. We both know were speaking into machines after all.
Obviously, the reduction in atmospheric CFCs since the signing of the Montreal Accord is the culprit.
I live in Seattle and think that this tax was a joke. Seattle/King County has spent $700M+ on this issue over the last ten years with 0 results. They have given no reason to pour money into dysfunctional programs.
This is not to be insensitive to the problem, but I don't grasp why we only talk about dealing with homelessness at the city level? Cities are small and surrounded by other cities, it's a terrible level of government to provide any kind of safety net or benefit. These need to come from states (if not the federal government). E.g. why for example should Seattle bear the responsibility of housing 10,000 homeless while it's rich neighbors on the east side can just wipe there hands of it?
Meanwhile, those of us still slumming it on our TI-99/4As were stuck with a word processor that didn't even try. Not only was TI-Write stuck in 40- (or perhaps 32-) column mode, but they didn't even bother changing the TI's default font, which mapped lowercase code points to small-cap glyphs, making text look nasty, hard to read, and nothing like printed output.

This would be a crazy difficult (and fun) domain to work in. Humans are very well tuned to perceiving facial details - the margin for error would have to be tiny. I'm still uncertain if images processed this way could escape the uncanny valley, but this appears to be a much more technically feasible approach for consumer use than transparent displays, multi-cam setups, or camera arrays embedded in displays.
> As others have noted, this is common in rural America, which tend toward being very high-trust communities such that many people don't even bother to lock their doors

There's a practical reason for that, too. If you're being burglarized in a rural community, a locked door will be an obstacle for ~10 seconds, and you'll come home to just as much of your stuff stolen, plus a broken door to deal with.
Prisons are a recent invention. Ancient punishments were execution, banishment, enslavement or mutilation.

No, ketogenic diets are mainly fats and protein. Ketosis is the burning of fats which happens when you water only fast. You can live on a diet which is 100% fat, you cant live on a 100% protein diet or a 100% carb diet. Its also why the body stores excess energy in what ever form it was eaten in, as fat. Periodic water only fasting is also the balance to todays modern lifestyles where we have so much food to choose from. Water only fasting, not only starves bacterial colonies in the body, it also helps to starve viruses and parts of the immune system become more effective than during the times when we can eat. The main known risk of water only fasting is diabetic ketoacidosis.

The eight teaspoons of sugar in a can of coke can reduce the hormone Testosterone in young teenage males by 25% within 2hours. The study only concentrated on Testosterone, but it would be interesting to find any studies, if they exist in the public domain, that shows what other effects sugar has on hormone levels, besides insulin and its increased risk of diabetes.
The places with denser housing in Seattle have higher incidence of open drug use, public urination, and other anti-social behaviour. While most NIMBY arguments are garbage, the fact is the city will not enforce acceptable public behaviour, and the only protection you can get is distance. I so wish I could choose to live in a dense, safe area like I could in Amsterdam, Munich, Seoul, Copenhagen, Tokyo, and so many other places.
Debt is a type of liability, so the second number already includes the first one. That said, their liabilities are ~3x their current market cap, and that’s assuming it is real, which the article argues is likely far from being the case. So if the portfolio valuation starts to really slide down, it’s unclear how they’ll be able to pay down the debt or convince new creditors to lend them more.

Shodan actually has a service that will notify you when it discovers a public industrial control system:

I was just thinking of that documentary. I agree it was very eye opening. Looks like it stands at 3.9M views currently. I read an article about it that the journalist brought a lot of ire his way producing that blunt exposition. If I remember correctly there was a PR campaign to undo his work or something along those lines.

The phenomenon going on here reminds me a little of what happens in BDSM communities. While I personally don't understand the appeal of that kind of sexual escapade, I also understand the logic of it -

In normal, daily life, people must be polite and respectful to each other. For some people (there's a strong trend for this in CEOs/powerful executives who are in a position of power), this creates a strange imbalance and a need to, for once in their life, be the ones being dominated. So these people may walk in the door of a room of a dominatrix, and once they sign a contract, they're beaten, abused... but this abuse is exactly what they signed up for and, perversely, they enjoy it.

I imagine the doorway of this restaurant is a little like that contract - a respite from the obligatory courtesies of daily life.
IMDb definitely seems to be on the take when it comes to new movie reviews. Almost any summer blockbuster will be in the top 10 for a number of weeks before eventually being edged out of the top 250.

Friends and I have a tradition of picking movies from the top 250 list and we always skip these as a result.

This isn't really what I was going for with "well-accepted" but I guess it's better than nothing, thanks. Copper sulfate's presence on that list is just about as questionable as glyphosate so I was hoping for something that people would actually think of as an organic pesticide (natural, etc. like already discussed earlier) not something that merely meets the federal requirements to be called 'organic'.
How a consultant could ever have this view baffles me.
Nothing burns you out worse than starting a business. Get a job first. You may want to find a company not based on NYC, in order to lower your likelihood of burning out again.
Yea, I'm not sure they are great ideas. My reasoning for the productivity app is because I want to build something I personally need and I haven't found a good solution.
The yelp-like app is because I know I want to work with small businesses. I just don't know exactly how yet.

So, you're right. I need to spend more time on my ideas. Thanks!
My best guess is that it will support 8k video output but render games internally at a lower resolution, like how an Xbox one s has 2160p60 video out but games are rendered at 1080p and upscaled. Their design goal for game rendering will likely be 2160p 60 fps.
this would be a nice easter-eggy way to watermark photographs.

You don't need to be pretty as a commercial flight sim, you just have to have enough accurately modelled instruments and inputs to be confident putting someone in a real plane after a bit of sim practice - they won't be surprised that the mountains are no longer grey cones.

People need to remember some of these jobs are tied to specific parts of the economy and can have downturns like anything else. I have a couple friends who are electricians and when the housing/construction market went pear shaped a decade back they both had a rough time of it. Turns out lots of electricians work in relation to construction and when there is no new construction there is a lot less work.
I believe the point of QuickCheck is actually to try and minimize the size of the test cases as much as possible by finding the minimal failing test case. So it explicitly tries to avoid testing larger and larger inputs or outputs, even if they could be potentially infinite.

If you want the ability to encode bounds inside the type itself, then you'll need to look at various extensions like DataKinds, TypeFamilies, etc, or at a dependently typed language like Idris.
It doesn't need to be a city. I've thought about this idea myself, pick a state with a large amount of empty land and construct housing, addiction and mental health services in a single place. A massive complex for those unable to care for themselves in society.

It would cost billions but it already costs billions nationally to care for the homeless. With lower wages and land values you'd have large cost savings and that's before economies of scale.

Let the addiction specialists and mental health professionals set the rules here. They would be limited by the constitution but would be able to enact laws for this very specific segment of the population. A low trust society encased within a high trust society.

At that point cities would be free to enact laws to the effect of "get help in the complex or go to prison" when they catch the homeless committing crime. Homeless no longer are a blight to the cities and the homeless get the best help we can offer.
Right, but right now there's not a super strong incentive for companies to try and manipulate their added sugar label. It can be a marketing thing for some brands but if added sugar was actively penalized then you would start seeing better attempts to keep foods sweet with "non-sugar" sources.
Ahh, yes, that is a plausible explanation. It adds to the fact that not a lot of people know that Uber is a german word, indicating high hierarchy
Sadly that strong interpretation of the Equal Protection Clause never got held as precedent. It sounds like it would be great for anti-corruption purposes.
4K+1080 is a matter of downsampling, not re-rendering. You could even do the downsampling “for free” if it’s done by the part of hardware that reads from the framebuffer to generate the output signal just by skipping lines.

Stereoscopic rendering (e.g. 2x4K) can far more expensive than 8K rendering despite brung half the pixels because all of the non-pixel-related scene rendering calculations have to be re-done to account for the two different camera positions.
re: #2

>[...] I feel like I could make these ideas work, but it's also super risky. I don't want to spend 1-2 years working on these ideas only to look up and realized I wasted my time and money.

If you can't get comfortable with that risk, you're going to have a very hard time being an entrepreneur.

There's always people who luck into an amazing business and business model, but realistically, you're going to have to put some resources in before you figure out if there's value. Even if it's just mocks and time spent talking to folks (do both those before coding anything though!)

Oh, and yelp is a terrible business -- the coding is straightforward. Your problem there is entirely how do you seed a site with reviews and businesses. Typically, two-sided marketplaces are some of the hardest businesses to create.
Hang on...

you’re giving me confirmation bias.

You’re cherry picking one example that confirms your bias. No first principles reasoning.

You’re giving some specific example about a setup in Washington DC.

This has absolutely nothing to do with how well mass transit can do versus cars. It’s one specific implementation.

In NYC, for example, 5.5 million people take the subway per day. How much highway will you need to carry that many people?
> if the schools are bad then parents will be more likely to relocate.

Not all parents. Only the intelligent, cultured, and high income ones.
Yes the feeling is not good. Really though the reason is that potential hit to the journal’s reputation in this case, not the feelings of the research team (who already paid the journal to submit the work after all).

You might then suggest that the journal should be prepared to also review the code alongside the claims it produced in the article — this seems like a good idea to me too but in reality would require hiring more reviewers (doubtful the tenured nonagenarians are up to the task), all while tightening the restrictions on the submitters. Just doesn’t make sense for a business.
I think this is good advice. I should think things through more...

Also, I am willing to take a pay cut if I can work on my idea, instead of working for something else. I don't need a million dollars haha.

Right now, I would be happy if I got something that pays me half as much as I used to make. Heck, if it only brought in $1,000/mo for a while I would be happy with that.
The number of ICS directly connected to the Internet has grown 10% every year since we started tracking them at Shodan (https://exposure.shodan.io) so even worse this is an increasing problem. This is a known issue in the security industry and has been for a while but fixing it is a hard problem.

The other thing we've noticed is that people are putting the ICS devices on non-standard ports in an attempt to hide them from Internet crawlers. This means that there are people that know this is a bad idea and instead of putting it behind a VPN or something more secure they just decide to change ports and leave it at that.
I don't then have to get out of the bath.
I mean, that’s like saying killing yourself isn’t hard to do. You probably don’t need “crampons” (whatever that is) to do. But why is it that more/most people don’t commit suicide? Because it’s genuinely hard to do. Every evolutionary single is telling you not to do it. The same goes for Everest.

Whether something is hard or not doesn’t depend on training or dedication or whatever. It depends on how likely you are to do it.

To give a more extreme example: how hard is it to cut off and eat your own finger? By your standards, it sounds pretty easy (no crampons required). But actually going through with it requires such force of will that only a few would ever be capable of such a feat.
That looks incredible, and makes me upset I'm not a pilot and don't have the time to learn!

Genuine question: is there any way to explore the world with visualizations as beautiful as those, but without the plane mechanics?

I have so much fun with Google Earth, but it doesn't have anything like the level of "realism" shown here -- the water, the clouds, the sunset, the shadows. While a game like GTA V can be gorgeous visually and you can fly a helicopter in it intuitively... but it's not a real place.

Is there any way to enjoy that realism without learning to fly a plane realistically?
No, universal service funds are a subsidy. Rural utilities generally cannot be supplied at a cost people are willing to pay.
Is this just a "Republicans are the worst" digression, or am I missing the relevance to this thread?
Is it pretty well established at this point that XPlane is superior to Microsoft? My understanding is that Microsoft has previously used hard-coded flight characteristics to determine how a plane should handle, whereas XPlane will actually model the physics of flight. Is that correct/generally accepted? Is there a plan to change that with this new version?

"Aldi's "prices are usually better" than Walmart"

I find the local Aldi's prices to be generally and significantly higher than Walmart and Kroger, though if I travel to the capital city, Aldi is significantly cheaper than the local Aldi.

I'm not sure if it is the local Aldi, or Aldi company exploiting smaller markets.
Can anyone working in this field comment on how it's applied? For example, what is computed? Homology groups, just the ranks of these groups, or something else? Given these, what does one learn about the data set under analysis? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topological_data_analysis#Appl... is pretty scant on detail.
Pick an idea and try to make it work. There's useful advice to be found here and elsewhere on the web, but your own experience trumps all that. You'll learn a lot, and if/when you decide to return to the corporate world you'll be in an advantaged position to do so.
This is exactly what I'm afraid of. Sorry it didn't work out for you.
Curiously, with all the grids taking wind and solar power, this has not happened. It's almost as if the operators of power grids have engineers on staff who have figured out how to keep them up, and do.
This is indeed the most commonly cited reason, but as others have pointed out it’s not a good one, and I’ll posit it’s not the real one either. The real reason is nobody in the lab has any idea if it works or ever worked most of the time.

To make it worse: Let's assume Seattle provides a great solution for the issue. Won't that attract homeless from other areas to Seattle, furthering the problem. It really must be solved federally. But we cannot do that because there is no way we can agree on something as complicated and probably nuanced like a solution to homelessness in the US.

If you take such things as being serious and true statements, you're obviously not getting the joke (because there was no joke, only a serious and true statement). There's a certain level of detachment required to appreciate an insult as an art form, even moreso when you're the one being insulted. Some people can do it, and some understandably don't necessarily want to be that detached!

There are a couple games on Xbox One X that support 4k60 - the one people care about is Forza Motorsport 7. From what I can tell, the Xbox One X can actually support 4k60, but I imagine it's a pain in the ass to accomplish and most studios don't bother since it's a niche market.
"This. Combined with the fact that the handful of people who have the knowledge/experience to properly secure the systems are probably too busy/overworked to expend the time to improve the situation"

That's not true. There's tons of people that could setup VPN's or whatever for them that are better than what we see. The actual problem is management doesn't care about security with no financial damages for that in most cases. So, they don't try to secure the project. I've known a few engineers doing embedded systems telling me how their customers almost always ignored warnings if dollars invested was somewhere above zero.
