I have a cat hooked up to a car battery in an unused garage somewhere in the Bronx. The Raspberry Pi interfaces between the battery and a 20+ person WhatsApp chatroom via API and anytime someone mentions the word "shock" (or any other word with a negative association), the cat gets it.

FYI - this is a joke, but effectively conveys the point: the only limits are in your imagination... and tech skills.
That is a very kind thing to do.

The BeatsX are as close as you can get right now. Same ease of use/pairing/sound quality, if you can live with the cord in connected the two buds.
Not mentioned in the article (or so far in the discussion here) are bone-conducting headphones which are great for riding and running.

If I had a long subway commute I'd consider using those and a pair of foam earplugs.
In China, they can get these bus message on a smartphone at mostly main city. The app would show the bus location and predict the time bus would reach according to the traffic status graphically.
This is frightening to read. How is this possible? My wife and I have 3 week old fraternal twin girls (wife is a living, breathing superwoman who carried them to full-term, despite being on strict bedrest from 26 weeks due to pre-term labor scare). We haven't gotten the bill yet but we had assumed that we were in the clear at this point because we've already reached the max (many, many months back, in fact).
>"We're also training our algorithms... if 2016 happened again, would we have, would the outcome be different."

Her definition of fairness is an ideological definition. It doesn't mean "fair," it means weighted, that is not objective, that is manipulated towards her ideological goals.

>"For example, imagine that a google image query for "CEOs" shows predominantly men... even if it were a factually accurate representation of the world, it would be algorithmic unfairness."

>"ML fairness... So they're trying to modify the model such that even if the data for female CEO says... its low... It still balances out."

There is really no doubt about the political ideology driving all of this, but what is apparent more than all of that is that they believe they have a duty to manipulate reality as much as possible and as needed, in order to fit their user's perception with their ideological narrative. And it is basically abusing their power (with ML) to enforce a delusion.

>"Alignment with the narrative."

>"People (like us) are programmed."

This is Ministry of Truth levels of social engineering/programming. They don't want to have to defend their ideology, they want to eliminate all opposition, and I don't know how any free thinking individual can defend that, much less support it. Its totalitarian, tyrannical, and the most terrifying aspect of it all is that they are knowingly committed to the construction of an entirely fictional, delusional narrative version of reality.
I like the interface, nicely done.
Isn't this how almost all redevelopment happens? The city puts out a call for proposals, and various architectural firms and builders submit master-planned mega proposals, and one gets picked?

Why is SideWalk labs any different than redevelopment projects that happened elsewhere?

I mean, this project is for a location (77 hectares) that is barely bigger than the Apple campus (71 hectares). They've proposing to develop a tiny slice of the city, about the size of most large condominium projects that localities approve.

If SideWalk Labs was not associated with Alphabet, but say, one of these (https://www.cpexecutive.com/post/2017-top-development-firms/) I bet it pretty much would have gone under the radar, and people would be enjoying their new waterfront without batting an eye.

The "churn" thing may cut it the web world and such but not so much elsewhere. There's a local mega-corporation whose core code base is up to twenty years old now, and another whose is up to ten years old. Neither will probably be rewriting anything anytime soon because their current codes bases were the rewrites - expensive and time-consuming ones at that - so they're still adding new features and in some cases still trying to work out long-standing bugs. Neither is lately having much luck bringing in fresh graduates, either, because the young bucks don't want to work on that stuff - it's too old for them.

>Anderson points to another example where simply making a change in people's access to instruments of suicide dramatically lowered the suicide rate. In England, death by asphyxiation from breathing oven fumes had accounted for roughly half of all suicides up until the 1970s, when Britain began converting ovens from coal gas, which contains lots of carbon monoxide, to natural gas, which has almost none. During that time, suicides plummeted roughly 30 percent — and the numbers haven't changed since.

I recommend the TaoTronics TT-EP008s. They're active noise cancelling and only $40. I bought them when I thought I had lost my trusty Bose QC20s. My Bose's were found and returned to me, and I can confirm that the TaoTronics are on par. They sound slightly different, but I don't think most people would identify one or the other as sounding superior. You can also pair them with memory foam tips for better passive isolation, which is complementary to the active noise cancellation (the former works better for high frequencies, and the latter is only effective for low frequencies).
In S. Korea most bus station have a display showing the current position of the bus and the estimated waiting time. Recently they are changing the display to show the bus stop remaining and removed the estimated time of arrival.

Lots of people use app so when the bus is about to arrive the bus station will suddenly get busy and full of people.
It's kind of an inverse problem. Once you put the planets in position you can (reasonably easily?) simulate their oribts with some noise. The idea is that the neural network would try to quickly approximate which planet configurations could produce those stable orbits.
Here's your bimonthly reminder that fossil fuels also create toxic waste that lasts generations and affects huge swaths of the globe.
Science should have Op-Ed column to accommodate researchers who have deep-rooted need to justify certain covet assumptions. The faults of the research methods are sufficiently revealed by comments here. Labeling any individual with negative moralistic quality based on very limited interaction is called judgmental or bigotry in general conversation. Disguising such hurtful expression with scientific diagraphes or data charts would not change the fact that such generalization is against a bigger need to bridge the differences between culture and social groups. The Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray Bell Curve Study had already charred our conscience. This research group and author should know they added more blows to human dignity.
Amazon is weird, I bought a product in the mail the other day and they offered me a $20 coupon (the product only cost $25) if I wrote a five star review. So I wrote a one star review talking about how I don’t want to be bribed and they can’t make me be dishonest and to warn people. But amazon didn’t allow my review. So that sucks, and makes me not trust any reviews on Amazon.
You need different ear buds for different tasks. If you're trying to isolate yourself, use in-ear buds. If you need to maintain awareness of your surroundings, use canal-adjacent buds like air pods or sony MDR-J10s. If you're in an especially noisy environment like a party, using a lawnmower or vacuum cleaner, use a pair of Plugfones with a real NRR value.
I have a pair of Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless that I quite like. They're quite comfortable and sound good. They do use rubber seals that can make a slight clicking if you don't size the rubber cover correctly and seat them well in your ear.

One pi running as a wireless temperature receiver. a few floating pis running media center or retropie or other things... just swap in the right USB stick and run.

> Unless you believe the US government has absurd returns on its spending which of course doesn't gel with US GDP growth in relation to US spending growth...

Citation needed. In fact US growth relative to revenue has been consistently and considerably higher than the rest of the industrialized world for effectively all of the past century.

But it doesn't really matter, because you're making a tribal point and not an economic one. A year ago, I'm quite certain you were nowhere to be found when the government decided to spend $1T of that same free money and hand it to wealthy taxpayers. But try to do that same thing for recent students and you all lose your fucking minds? Yeah. Tribal.

I said it up thread: no one cares about this stuff. You don't care about this stuff. You just don't want the government spending its free money on the wrong people.
I love that AWS is starting to care more about providing these services. For context, we have basically been building this for 2 years in our company internally to provide hundreds of “compliant by default” accounts. Every company seems to do it themselves.

What I personally find very frustrating is the lack of being able to migrate any existing organisations into this. I’d love to get rid of some of our account provisioning but this would basically mean starting over with a brand-new AWS Organization which is impossible for us.

It still is quite a hassle to manage many accounts (and resources you need in them) so I hope this service will sooner or later help us with this.

PS: if anyone is over at re:Inforce and wants to talk about anything AWS Orgs & accounts, feel free to mail me (profile)!

> do a poor job overpowering noise

This is actually exactly why I use AirPods. You can run and bike with them and still have some notion of what's going on around you.

When I want to cut out noise, I bust out my trusty QC20s, which actually seal the ear off and reduce plenty of noise, even before you turn them on.
Very nice!

I've been using SimcirJS [1] to teach computer architecture to a group of primary school children. DigitalJS would be a replacement if it were possible to drag and drop components from a menu in addition to instantiating with HDL. I notice that the schematic is editable, so it's very close to being able to do this. Is there a way do drag and drop components from a menu based library, each component in the menu mapping behind the scenes to an HDL module (or a child schematic)?

At first glance I would prefer DigitalJS over SimcirJS, as being HDL based it offers the opportunity of efficiently implementing things such as memory as an array in the HDL. In SimcirJS memory has to be build from raw gates (or the simulator extended), so it's quite slow to simulate an entire CPU with attached memory.

Not an expert on spec, but I suspect that there are a lot of data that are not representable with combinations of predicates: GADTs, rank-n types, existential types, type families, data families, and other more advanced type system features.

Either way, the tradeoff is this: statically typed languages are guaranteed to be free of type errors, but no such guarantees can be made with runtime assertions. Whether or not you use a tool like spec to help you make those assertions, the fact that they happen at runtime prevents them from making any guarantees about type safety. Even if you use spec literally everywhere, as you suggest (and no one actually comes close to doing anyway), you are still not guaranteed of type safety.

Your comments indicate to me that you don't really understand RPKI beyond a marketing value because if you did you wouldn't be throwing it around as some silver bullet. RPKI although a step in the right direction is also susceptible to misconfiguration and attack by hostile entities[1]. Additionally outages as bad as any BGP misconfiguration are also possible if an RIR's RPKI repo becomes unavailable. This has already happened. See:

>The issues are more disconcerting, like senior executives trying to make sure that 'Trump never happens again'

That's not what she said, she said "Trump situation", and by situation, one would assume, the massive abuse of social platforms to spread false and misleading data about Clinton, which we know from scientific studies, that false stories were reshared far more by Trump supporters than vice versa, and that a non-trivial chunk of these fake gifs came from overseas.

Isn't that a situation we don't want to repeat?

Also, I'd argue the definition of a Doctor is genderless, so if I ask Google what a doctor is, I don't want it telling my daughter "A doctor is a male human being who..."

This isn't "social justice", this is fact.

You can call for breaking Google up all you want, but AI ethicists at every company are concerned about cognitive bias creeping into machine learning, and correcting that bias will be perceived you as putting your finger on the scales to 'correct the wrongs of history'

I'm just telling you, this view goes beyond Google, and pretty much any honest data scientist is going to be looking to combat bias in his training data.

Anti-social justice warrior people arent going to like it, but the genie is out of the bottle government isn't going to stop the march towards unbiasing our databases.

>Yes, every township/locality will have a switchboard. In larger cities it could be zone based.

That much is obvious. A single switchboard can also cover multiple towns in some circumstances.

>In larger cities it could be zone based. But "911" always has a second # that can directly connect you, ending in 911.

What Cities Can Do to Help Birds and Bees Survive
I'd almost rather society just admit it's classist so it can be handled appropriately. Instead we're just in denial and no policies (for better or worse) will ever go towards what we need. I might sound conservative but I'm definitely democrat/liberal in most of my values. I just don't want to live near someone that is thuggish and may steal from my house.

A confounding factor is that I think they have changed the typical operating speeds in many parts of the BART system over the years. Also, it isn't like the entire system is made up of 40-50 year old, original parts. Train cars, wheels, sections of rail, and maybe even bits of rail-bed have been added to the system, renovated, and/or replaced over the years.

Qualitatively, I think that I have experienced similar painful noises in every decade since the late 1970s, when I was a little kid and my father worked for BART. In the early 1990s, I can remember people talking about how they sometimes got a quiet train or a loud train on a familiar commute. We had similar observations about different road surfaces put down by Caltrans. I tend to ride it at least once every 2-3 years during return visits. Also, at various places in the East Bay, weather depending, you can hear the early morning trains on at-grade or above-grade track from quite far away. I have heard very similar noises in recent years when visiting the same places, giving me a nostalgic kick as it sounded so familiar.
The weighting applied to housing, healthcare, and tuition appears to be nonsensically low compared to the fraction of income most people spend on them.

Though to be fair CPI is computed nationally and things like housing prices are so localized that it's impossible to come up with a number that makes sense across the whole country anyway.
Do you have any numbers to back that last sentence up? I suspect the difference between your figure and intuition is less welfare administration bloat and more that most of it is eaten up by exorbitant healthcare costs through Medicare and Medicaid.

If you're on, say, a 4K 10-bit display, there's quite a bit more pixel data to push than there used to be. You still don't need a GPU just to draw text, but since you already have one, using it will provide better performance and likely consume less power.

How fast is streaming cut-scene heavy games like MGS4 to the PS3 using this setup?

Also, for the PS2, how does it compare with HDDLoader and an internal HDD. Relevant for games like Fatal Frame, where you have to open doors a lot, and on the DVD, it takes like 5-10 seconds, but on the HDD, it takes <1 second.

I didn't know we could steam to the Xbox OG, sounds pretty useful compared with the 1hr process to open it up and upgrade the HDD...

For the same design; what sets fast code apart from slow code is the availability of designs enabled by the language. Compile time computation is a huge win for D (IIRC nim has similar capabilities).
Does cancelling actually mean paying it off on behalf of the debtors?

A large percentage of student debt is so-called "direct loans". This is money loaned by the US Department of Education. This money comes from the Federal government, not from a bank or other private financial institution.

For those loans, "cancelling" presumably means adjusting some ledger entries.
This is largely an ignorant and poorly argumented rant in favor of paid SSL certs.
Anecdotal and no data to back it up, but I have a pair of Shure IEMs and I love it. I listen at a fairly comfortable level all the time, and usually when I take them out I'm surprised by how loud the world is around me. Seems like that should mean I'm listening at an objectively quieter level than ambient noise.
Sigh. I'm a conservative.
