No, that's not true. I checked about the day after the keynote: the moment on Apple's recording of the event is exactly the same as the moment was on the live stream.
I first checked it out early on. It seemed ironic and genuinely anti-trump at the time.
The examples are not shown in full, because they also correct for nonlinearities in the lens projection. https://people.csail.mit.edu/yichangshih/wide_angle_portrait...

The image on the left is a rectangular crop of the image after lens correction, the one on the right combines lens correction and their warping method. That combination allows them to pull in a few pixels that would've been outside the rectangular region otherwise.

I'm tired of discussions concerning "Javascript" and "the web" where absolutely conclusions appear to be drawn. JS is a language, the web is a platform. Ofcourse overusage of JS results in annoying bloated websites, but when you want to build interactive applications that can easily be distributed to the entire world, the combination of JS + web is a virtue. The web isn't only for displaying static content, it's time to accept that.
The uploader filed a counter-notice and Youtube put the video back. The fact that some of the videos got reinstated doesn't change that Apple filed the DMCA takedowns in the first place.

"Rocky's Boots" was great fun and stealthily teaches fundamental logical concepts. I never got to play "Robot Odyssey" (the sequel) as a kid, but playing it as an adult was fun and I could totally see how it would boost logical / computational thinking.

This is total nonsense, non-news.

Apple hosts itself a recording of the keynote, and that contains the developer reaction unedited. (This I have verified after they finally posted the keynote on their website; it is conceivable that they've edited it afterwards again, but we'd need evidence for that.)

Apple also takes down videos and excerpts of the keynote on Youtube.

There is no hiding of the developer reaction going on.

(Unless someone can provide evidence that it is only those particular excerpts of the keynote that are being taken down on YouTube.)
I’d second this. Many labs, including ours, are happy to discuss challenges and opportunities with serious outside parties. If you emailed a few labs near you with a detailed explanation I’d expect you would get multiple responses.
The success of the UK's energy policy is undeniable. However they still have a long way to go in every other sector (transport, agriculture, imports..) before reaching carbon neutrality.

The practical solutions are well known in the community, see the Drawdown project for a pretty exhaustive list. Since we are very late in the fight against climate change, all of these solutions need to be implemented, so there's no point in promoting just a few of them.

For now, they prefer to focus on raising awareness and get citizens to demand change urgently. The next step will be to ask for a citizen's assembly (https://rebellion.earth/act-now/resources/citizens-assembly).

More impressive yet than the article are proposals for space telescopes made of millions of accurately positioned mirrors. With a spherical constellation, you can cover the whole sky at once.

I wonder if such a constellation would require a star shade, or if you could just orient some mirrors not to reflect their light?
The "ip" field used to hold the plain IP address, so it's still called that, even though it now holds a hash.

The post() function fills it in like so:

$query->bindValue(':ip', isset($post['ip']) ? $post['ip'] : $identity);

It's called from https://github.com/OpenIB/OpenIB/blob/master/post.php#L988, but $post never gets an 'ip' key, so it always uses $identity (which was created using getIdentity(), which currently hashes the IP address).

I think the method you describe for checking whether a post could have come from an IP address would work, if they gave up all the relevant salts. secure_trip_salt isn't supposed to change. hashSalt is also needed, because the IDs are generated using the hashed IP addresses, but it's changed infrequently from what I remember (changing it logs out all moderators because sessions are tied to IP addresses, so it's easy to notice).
At one point IE was just as dominant as Chrome is today, and it got displaced. A lot of people seem unable to imagine how Chrome could be displaced today, but that can happen pretty rapidly. For example, Google restricting ad blockers on Chrome will almost certainly drive Firefox market share up.

However, the only reason this is possible is because we have web standards that are independent of a single browser and vendor. If we end up abandoning the standards entirely in favor of just using Chromium, then it’s game over for open web.

Throwing in the towel and making everything Chromium based would be the worst possible scenario because it gives Google an insane amount of control over the future of the web. And the fact that Chromium is open source doesn’t really make a bit of difference here.

The reality is that it takes a huge amount of effort to maintain it. It would require an organization like Mozilla to fork it from Google and take it in a new direction. Since we already have Mozilla and Firefox now, it’s much better to make sure they continue to exist.

> They're interested in trying to persuade more people to stop eating the flesh of sentient creatures when our diets don't even require it.

In a strict sense, you’re right, our diets don’t require meat. But most people wouldn’t consider it practical to take the 5-10 different supplements needed to replace all of the benefits of eating meat, fish, eggs and dairy. And that approach is almost certainly suboptimal to whole food sources anyway.
You can claim that any arbitrary point is "the center of the universe" if you acknowledge that the planets rotate around the sun, not around the designated "center". If you choose Jupiter as the "center", there would still be no observable difference and you wouldn't need additional epicycles.
That doesn’t appear to be true to me.

I watched the portion of the keynote from Apple’s feed and a couple other videos and they seem substantially the same. The sound’s actually better on the Apple video so I can hear the rumble (not really “boos”) more clearly.

They used John Doe (unnamed party) lawsuits to get the ISPs to release names.

I can't help but feel like language-level support for memory persistency is just a database engine with all the same complexity, problems and plenty of research already. And given that persistent memory is not reliable, shouldn't hardware manufacturers merely provide an API for raw access to each rewritable block and let applications deal with consistency models, concurrency, wear leveling, etc. Just like with disks, but a faster ISA-level API.
The chan format is very different from Slack or IRC. Anonymity by default plus image and animation attachments makes it a unique medium.
> science abilities are approximately zero

I’d say it really depends on your program and what you mean by science. I minored in BioEngineering, I also double majored in math. At least one of my CS final projects has a citation (which I recently discovered after looking at Google scholar).

My point is, what makes “science” skills may not match your expectations, but I’d argue many people have said skill set.

> Only an attitude of “no financial return” helps science.

I also take issue with this. Arguably all financial investments are a way of directing research. All research needs funds. How do we get most of the drugs we have today? It’s typical some research is done publicly, but the last “mile” so to speak, is done by private companies.
I’m pretty sure your only option is to get a release from your old company or to negotiate a license from them. They likely own it. You really should be talking to a good software intellectual property attorney.
I think there's lot of room to improve tools in bioinformatics. In practice bioinformatics pipelines tend to be bundles of loosely organised python scripts and I've heard files on the order of a few GB described as Big Data because the processing times are so slow (days for stuff that could take milliseconds)

It would help to pair up with practicing scientists and explore what parts of their workflow can be improved

Some are extremely accurate, and others are completely off the grid.

Whatever the machine, they all have a unique groove.
The sun moves at about 828,000 km/hour around the glactic center. Thus, it moves about 7250 million km each year.

The distance from the earth to the sun is about 150 million km.

Therefore, the earth's "orbit" is actually a very elongated helix.

Goes back to Heidegger at least if you trust Hubert Dreyfus. Maybe more.

Heidegger at its core is an "antiplatonism of lived experience". I really can't recommend enough reading two very different interpretations of him, namely "Tool-being" by Graham Harman and "Being-in-the-world" by Hubert Dreyfus.

Books are cheap. Get these. Most Netflix shows are bad. Read these books instead for two or three weeks.
It's the easiest way to discredit literally any idea or any person. Just mention Nazi Germany or Hitler or SS or anything like that, and you don't need any arguments or anything else afterwards.

Note that the person doesn't even have to agree with the politics of National-Socialist Germany or anything close it.

Cause now the one attacked has the burden of proof, otherwise s/he'll forever be known as Nazi.

In a nutshell, that's it.
Definitely. A lot of work is done in R or python and could be sped up in a compiled language.

<ianal>The same way you get anything else: buy it. You can ask the owner to sign the rights over, and maybe they will, but at this point it's just like any other thing they own. Who the owner is might not be clear-cut: if the client paid for your time and then rejected the result, they almost certainly own it. If the consulting company created it on spec or in some other way ate the cost, you'd have to determine whether the client or the consulting company owns it. At the end of the day, though, someone owns it. They'll either give it to you for free or they'll want to get paid. The easiest way is to simply ask and take it from there. I've had things signed over to me for free in almost exactly this situation, both in order to open source it and in order to keep it private (in both cases, nothing ultimately came of it). Just make sure you get something in writing.</ianal>

In fact, this is not how it works. My understanding is that whatever the gravitational force is carried by (ie. gravitational waves) is also affected by the velocity and rotational velocity of the gravitating object (in this case, the Sun), so the Earth really is attracted to the Sun’s current position, not where it was 8 minutes ago. Of course, this only works if no net forces are applied to the sun in those eight minutes, but that’s almost definitely the case. I believe, although it’s been a while since I did the calculations, that if this were the case then the galaxy would gradually become funnel shaped before eventually dissipating after the center gets too far away from the rest. It would have similar effects on the solar system as well.
Talk to them. Ask them to give it to you for no upfront cost, perhaps with some profit-sharing for them (e.g. they get 10% of your profit ONLY ON THIS piece of software, up to a maximum of 2X what they spent on you for this project). Have a lawyer review the agreement.

I think we're still far away from that, but we're trying to get there. Some successful work has been done based on AGORA models [1], where the simulations seem to roughly match the reality of simplified systems. For example, for a five-member community of bacteria, answering questions like "what happens if we remove bacteria B from the community?", but not too much beyond that yet.

Provide funding for permanent positions. I'm currently in the last few months of my first postdoc in condensed matter physics (think superconductors, quantum computers etc.) but will move into industry next year for lack of perspectives towards a permanent position in a reasonable place. As far as I can tell, my research so far was not substandard and the software I wrote has enabled quite a few projects which otherwise would have not been possible or taken much longer. Most people I talk to (both inside and outside academia) express some degree of disappointment over people like me leaving (after 4 years PhD + 2 years Post-doc) but none of them put their money where their mouth is.

To be clear, I can understand that a PhD candidacy justifies a temporary contract and I'm not even asking for a permanent position directly after a PhD (as would be standard in industry), I'm only asking for a reasonably safe perspective towards a permanent position reasonably soon after graduating. Can't exactly start a family if you don't have any kind of job security beyond the next couple months.

> H&M is not "the beast".

On the topic of sustainability it's probably warranted to call them "the beast". Fast fashion companies are a big part of the problem if you look up how much water and resources are needed to produce a single piece of clothing. Of course having cheap clothing is great for the consumer in the short-term the same way that flying short distance instead of taking the train is comfortable, or commuting with a car instead of public transport.

Their clothing recycling program falls under the definition of green washing. https://observer.com/2018/03/hm-sustainability-conscious-exc...
After studying pharmacology and medicinal chemistry, I lost a lot of faith in our current pharmacological medicine.

The tl;dr is that chemistry is incredibly complex and then biology is even more complex and messy. Even if we think we understand the mechanism by which a medicine may work, we definitely do not know how something will certainly behave in the wider system OR whether something works the way we truly think it does (by the time a medicine arrives in the place it needs to be is it actually some chemical artifact after being "touched" so many times along the way).

We have a complex system, and we don't have the author or source code to hand, and we're still quite limited in how we can observe any changes. Any time we do try to introduce something we basically have to pray that there are no side effects
If you get that pedantic you must delve into relativistic center of mass and center-of-momentum frame. The speed of gravity is the speed of light. Sun's gravity affects earth with 8 minute lag.

I'm told that you do the math at that level it's almost the same as in the Newtonian model, which is surprising. I never understood the math but it's related to the fact that changes in stress-energy tensor of matter are continuous. Mass+energy moves gradually from place to place, there are no sudden jumps. Earth accelerates towards point point where the Sun is in future. Not the same point as Newtonian mechanics with instant gravity says it should be, but close enough to hide relativistic effects of gravity most of the time.
No, the saying is not wrong here. Newton's Laws are wrong, period. They explain some observational evidence to some degree of accuracy. That they're "absolute in a typical human context" is literally the point of the saying I quoted.
Glenn Beck used to host Radio before he was on TV and one of his gimmicks was a thing he called "The Schlub Club".

His show spanned the afternoon and evening hours, so on some days he would announce a preposterous thing and say to the listeners they should call in with comments in support of this thing and goad those who were not in on the joke to take a stand against this preposterous notion that nobody was ever really for.

Those people who got out work and turned on the radio sure we're in for a surprise.

Yes, it would be more effective to reduce meat consumption globally. But we need to do both because time is running out. See the Drawdown project for an exhaustive list of policies.

I'd argue that people who actively work on climate change mitigation should keep flying if it really helps them be more effective. One of my friends does that: she helps urban planners save millions of tons of CO2, while emitting a few tons by herself. Overall, it's a good investment.

> generic programmers

I would argue that most would agree that a "generic programmer" does not have a degree in math or a minor in bioengineering. There are a lot of programmers who never studied any STEM outside of a CS curriculum, which usually has ~no science and rarely requires advanced math (i.e. requires only linear algebra).
