My guess is that this is legitimate, but a strategy like the Republicans used in Northern Ireland. Everyone knows that your little city can't defeat the PLA. What you can do is make yourself ungovernable without making China do things that would tarnish their world reputation. If China quells this protest, but in the process turns Hong Kong into another Xinjiang (including the "reeducation" camps for protesters, and the invasive surveillance on the rest of them, most of whom were alive during British rule), all in violation of the treaty with the UK, then they lose.
Nitpick: modern bone density scans use X-rays, and don't typically fall under nuclear medicine.

True.

But the design of our circulatory system (to the degree we can talk about a "design") certainly is tuned the conventional gravitational gradient. E.g we have one-way valves in our leg veins to help keep blood from all pooling down there.

Likewise, our bones are continually restructuring their interiors according to the stresses resulting from experience of weight. I don't know of any evidence that the bone cells involved experience the weight directly, independent of the stress. There is pretty good evidence that they are responding directly, instead, to piezoelectric currents generated by the stress.

So, if the bone cells aren't experiencing gravitation, unmediated, their organelles certainly aren't.
It's even worse when your lead is giving timeframes for you...

6-year experience in iOS both swift and objective-c. This is what I specialize with these days though I have previous background in Java backend development and I'm familiar with Python and C++ as well. Recently I tinker with React Native and OpenCV in my free time. I'm enthusiastic about new technologies and eager to find robust solution to technical problems. I'm flexible with adjusting to different timezone. Just recently available full-time. Don't hesitate to say hello to me and discuss your project.
>>Hustler Magazine v. Falwell

That's not a "deepfake". One is a satirical printed ad aimed at a celebrity (satire has been pretty frequently protected speech) and the other is malicious creation of an artifact to attack random people (typically women). You know that there are plenty of unprotected forms of speech (harassment and assault at the top of the list) and it seems like that's what the legislature here is trying to do, add this to that list.

>>Does using a Charlie Sheen lookalike in the XXX version of Two and a Half Men constitute deepfake?

No. That actor isn't credited as "Charlie Sheen", he's credited as <actor's name>. This is not the same thing. He is not representing himself as actually being Charlie Sheen, but possibly the character of "Charlie Sheen".

You're a man of the law: how would you protect these women from revenge porn if this law offends you so? Or are you more of a "sticks and stones and sending my mother an image of what appears to be me getting penetrated in my asshole will never hurt me" type of guy?
Yes, that's about right. $20k for LNG, and about $9.5k for electrics. Insane priorities, if you ask me, given our current climate crisis.

Heaven forbid the simple chat application isn't some damn Electron app that needs 2GB of memory and burns CPU constantly.
The support is pretty unique in my experience. Purchased a different board (tinkerboard) and was susprised how much less info there is on the Internet, how outdated it is etc.

Def made me reconsider buying anothrr non rasp board even if stronger
Could also be that despite being past Model 3 production hell, they are still not profitable ($700M loss in Q1 '19), and they are betting the farm on autonomous somehow turning that into a profit? Color me skeptical, but if I was an engineer at Tesla I'd be looking for an exit as well.

Software development has some fundamental challenges that have been faced since the start, and always will. Understanding them matters. Here are some of the big ones.

1. Developers need to communicate with each other. A lot. This takes time. The amount of time goes up non-linearly with the size of the team. (The Mythical Man-Month claims a scaling law of n^2.)

2. Adding process + documentation of various kinds can turn that from unbounded time spent speaking to a large but bounded written effort.

3. Nobody is good at predicting schedules.

4. Good news travels, bad news doesn't (until the last moment).

The traditional solution was to solve #1 with #2, put a lot of effort into schedules for #3, and get blindsided over and over again by #4. The average result was that the average delivered software project took over 2x what was estimated, cost over 2x, and was delivered with under half the promised features. But, no matter how delayed, usually didn't start slipping the promised deadline until about 2 weeks before the first official release deadline. And these were the success stories, since most software projects never really got delivered.

What Agile opened up was the perspective that there were other approaches possible. For example we can solve #1 by having small teams, which makes #2 unnecessary, solve #3 by making projects small enough to not need good prediction, which creates a feedback loop to avoid #4. And that is not the only valid tradeoff.

But this is not a one size fits all. Real world data shows that a team hits peak throughput at 5-8 people, declines, and doesn't get back to the same overall throughput until 20+. (After which it is almost linear, but with much lower individual productivity.) The teams as drawn on the org chart don't matter. The teams as they actually interact, do.

If you understand your options, and understand the tradeoffs, you can figure out how to customize the right solution to the people/organization. If you don't understand the tradeoffs, the best that you can do is blindly copy what worked somewhere else and pray that you got it right. And if it turns out that you didn't, develop superstitions about what you should have done instead.
Stupid question. What was wrong with hot reloading the configuration file? It doesn’t drop requests, doesn’t seem to impact CPU and RAM by much, and it’s straightforward to script around.
The same reason that harassment and slander are crimes. There's always limits to what you can "say" when what you're saying isn't just unpopular but actually damaging.
Some people, including myself, think that it's reasonable for the residents of Palo Alto to have more say over the local policies and goings-on in the town than non-residents.
I'm betting that it's a false positive on a chemically similar substance. Field detection systems for chemicals/drugs/explosives don't tend to prioritize having a low false positive rate because they'd rather be safe than sorry and most customers have enough qualified immunity it doesn't really matter if the security guards dogpile on some little old lady because the system thought her perfume was a bomb.
So a minority should dictate international relations? A minority that aren't even indigenous and whose only history of statehood was being a vassal of the Ottomans that captured and sold Slavs as slaves... Why should they dictate what happens between Ukraine or Russia?
They may have observed remoters deliver the same unit of work faster and more correct.
You can, but it’s painful. Amsterdam has just completed a new subway line that crosses under the entire city. It took about 15 years of construction (after 15 years of political discussion and planning), cost about 3,1 billion Euro and damaged some historical buildings because Amsterdam is essentially built on a swamp (no humans were harmed though). Still, this is a city that’s many years older than even the oldest city in the US. It can be done.
Yeah. It is impressive how he manages to self-market and how different he is on various media channels to his real-life personality
In part because we still measure effort in hours instead of in wear and tear. That guy answering comments on Hacker News is probably trying to recharge, not steal from you.

I learned recently that the crane operators that unload cargo ships at some major ports can’t work more than four hours at a time. The movements are too precise and take a great deal of attention. I think you can work two shifts per day but there’s a mandated gap of some number of hours between them.

This would've worked if you'd taken your initial estimate (1 week) - bumped it to the next unit (1 month) - then doubled it (2 months). Maybe you would've been given 9 or 10 weeks, so you'd have the week for X, and 1 month each for Y and Z.

I understand this is a contrived example, but it's strange that, when you take a real project that "overran" based on the initial estimate(s), and you apply the formula - just how often the formula is actually really close to the actual amount of time.

Not always - but more often than not.
I suspect the simplest explanation is "Microsoft is tired of people being able to use really old versions so they are breaking that ability any way they can."

See the current situation of Windows 10. There are specific "checkpoint" versions and they force you really aggressively to come up to them when they get released.
It's not FUD. Measure system call latency on Fuchsia and Linux for a simple read(), and you'll see Fuchsia is slower. It's the context switch that kills you, not the copies. Of course you could use FUSE on Linux and it would be just as slow.
I'm waiting for the update on whether or not it's actually sarin. The article (rightfully) seems to be hedging at this point and referring only to the fact that the machine identified it as sarin, but sadly most readers of online news seem to brush past that...

False positive.

Unless the package was afterwards found to be actually very suspicious/stated attack.

If it was suspicious then Sarin 'detected', flase positive.

Detected and not suspicious, false positive.

No word yet on what the package was.

(If I trusted the news, we could guess they had more info that it wasn't a false positive but they had to confirm, but false positives get clicks so I'm doubting)
>A machine at a Facebook mailing facility in Menlo Park alerted employees Monday that a package might contain sarin

where do one gets such a machine and how one comes with the idea of getting it in the first place. As an employee of a BigCo. such idea has never crossed my mind (and we do have our share of angry/frustrated/on-the-verge-of-nervous-breakdown customers - i mean it is real enterprise software we're dealing in after all :)
This is truly the most fascinating link I've ever seen! Where did you come up with such a great place to search for stuff? Have you ever seen https://duckduckgo.com ?
I wasn't sarcastic. I'm just a big believer in Niebuhr's 'necessary illusion' or Strauss' 'noble lie' and thought I had found a fellow compatriot.
Design or repair.

These are the same people who get furious at their mechanic or plumber when they double the time estimate.

I mean any competitive activity is going to be time consuming. Speedrunning isn't any different.
The best defense they can offer is that Carreyrou was too good of a journalist. I hope to god the jury is not lenient here in the face of overwhelmingly damning evidence. This was a matter of defrauding not just investors, but putting lives at risk and ruining careers in the process.

Moreover, the entire point of Hustler v Falwell was that no reasonable person could have believed the Hustler piece was anything but satire, while the whole point of a "deep fake" is that the opposite is meant to be true.

It's very strange to argue that deepfake revenge porn is in any way comparable to Hustler v Falwell; it seems like you'd have to be almost totally unfamiliar with that case – or with deepfakes, or with revenge porn – to draw a connection.
Not to defend the Virginia statute but as devils advocate, couldn't they argue that their law does not apply to parody and only protects non-public figures?

So couldn't they argue the statute would not apply to the Hustler-Falwell parody for those two reasons?
Through what mechanism can a large net worth individual get a company like Apple to buy things for them? They're not the only shareholder

This is also possible to do today and when it happens the SEC investigates whether a $100M painting for the CEO's office was an appropriate expenditure of other shareholders money. The tax policy doesn't have a bearing on this type of fraud
> I have gotten reported for walling but people just need to realize how much damn noise they make.

Always amusing when this happens.

I've noticed people who perform best are the ones who pick a strategy and stick with it rather than trying to get the glory.

Another thing is lower level players use nades poorly and are always caught off guard.
Flamewar? I'm Mac user. And I consider USB-C the best thing on new MacBooks. If I ever change platform, I would not consider buying laptop with proprietary charging.

I have three Mag-Safe chargers in my drawer (one broken), from my previous laptops. If they're standard (USB-C) chargers, I would use them for something. So I hope Apple will not put any non-standard "safety releases" on their chargers in the future.

I hope someone will make a cable with something similar to mag-safe (I know there's couple of kickstarters, I don't know how good these thing works) so we can finally put this story behind.
> At most your example argues that asking inexperienced and clueless devs to estimate stuff they know nothing about produces highly unreliable information.

Wow, so much hubris in such as small post.

Unless you have been doing the exact same thing forever(in which case you are at a risk of being replaced), new work _always_ comes with a degree of uncertainty. Be it new technologies, new business requirements or what have you. I have never worked in two identical projects in my life.

The correct answer would be a 'spike' or proof of concept. Either that, or hire those magical developers you seem to have who know everything there is to know.
That involved a fake interview with Falwell published in Hustler. I don't see how that is legally distinct from putting his face on a body double

What I understood from recently rewatching The People vs Larry Flynt was that LF and Hustler magazine were acquitted because nobody would reasonably believe that Jerry Falwell had actually had sex with his mother. It seems evident that the material difference between that case and today’s deepfake is how likely anyone would be to mistake it for the truth.
The lack of funding for traditional marketing is one of the greatest challenge for an indie developer. If they can come up with a (legal) way for getting attention, all the more power to them.
Where is your respect for justice?
Why wouldn't you defend this statute?
Who's going to do the overturning, though? If all you need is mental labor and capital, and AIs can supply mental labor for anyone... Well, the current holders of capital are going to have quite the advantage.
In what way does this provide a floor on density? It seems that building single-family residences is still legal in areas where it was before.
Guess work but basically this (https://medium.com/@cypherpunk./so-you-are-saying-satoshi-is...) plus the fact that Finney was the professional C++ coder. I'm told the code is very professional. I don't know C++ myself.
