> The problem is that putting cyclists moving at 10 to 15 mph (14 to 22 feet per second) at the pedestrian position results in situations where neither the cyclist or the motorist see each other until the last second and that results in a collision

This is why I specified correctly designed: what you're saying is an artifact of a poorly-designed intersection which does not have good visibility or clear traffic flows.
I was providing a counterpoint to show that it's preferable having the whole office take off together when that's possible for your business. I don't disagree that staggering the off days could be necessary, but it isn't ideal.
if it did. it would clearly denounce their power. the US has waged many wars over the Dollar.
It's not about the collection so much as it is about how they use it.

They're going to be making money off you. It's important that you don't have a means to claim retribution.
Isn't he in breach of GDPR requirements?
is Sussman still fond of this ? he was talking about it in meetups IIRC
But were the headers reaching the browser or not? CORS is something strictly for the browsers to parse, so if it's reaching the browser, either the policy is wrong (and you can usually see that in the browser console, when it blocks the cross-domain request) or it's not a CORS problem.
It's as big of a UX nightmare as Google Ads.
There is no way for a user to disable it on their phone.

It causes news stories and blog spam to pop up before product pages or other non-"article" style pages.

It basically shoe horns the internet into 1 type of page because if you don't have "article" style pages you don't have amp and don't have the higher ranking.

Your getting downmodded because you completely missed the point here. People don't merely hate AMP. They also (and sometimes more stongly) hate what google is doing with AMP and what that's doing to the internet.
Isn't that a slightly different kind of thing though? That makes a static document interactive.
CORS is really pretty simple, it's getting the threat model that is tricky. Some docs on Allow-Origin here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Ac... and a more complete walkthrough here: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS

Dynamic allow-origin sounds magical, but is really straightforward. You just look at the `Origin` header of a request (e.g., in express `req.headers['Origin']`), compare it against your database of whitelisted origins, and if it's in there, return it as the value of `Access-Control-Allow-Header`.

If you don't have any relationship with the folks using your frontend, I'd just "turn it off", that is, use "Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *". It's a security issue only insofar as you don't trust the third party that owns the web frontend to handle their users' data securely, either by introducing their own security vulnerabilities, or by hijacking users' sessions themselves. The big question I think is whether the third party's users are your users too, in which case you're responsible to vet the third party to protect your users. If you're just a backend for whatever-the-heck, just make sure you have a good terms of service for the api so you're not assuming responsibility for other people's mistakes/malice.
Do you have a smartphone? Why would you bring that listening device (the smartphone) into your own house out of your own volition? Please explain, because I am very perplexed.
Ratification of the RISC-V Base ISA and Privileged Architecture Specifications
I agree in general, but I think I might prefer to keep the 40 hr/wk schedule and give everyone 10 weeks vacation as a baseline. I suppose that creates a headache if everyone takes the whole summer off at once or something, but what it does do is give each person the flexibility to decide if they want a whole year of long weekends, or some other configuration they prefer.
Sure but "hey here's 8x thunderbolt 3 ports just don't ever attempt to use an entire one at once kthx" isn't exactly going to be a great product story, either.

> I don't see any reason why the 1x gen2 lane of the pi 4 couldn't host a Thunderbolt 3 port; it would just severely bottleneck the bandwidth of tunnelled PCIe links.

But that's kind of literally the reason? An entire ecosystem of products assumes a reasonably high amount of bandwidth from the connector. That's its singular reason to exist. If you take away the bandwidth from Thunderbolt 3 it just becomes USB, and at that point why not just offer USB connectors which have even broader support and not as many cabling restrictions?
> For 10-50% more time, you can get a whopping 100-500% in output for a short time.

No you can't. Not quality output anyway. After a few hours writing code even the best engineers stop being productive and the quality goes down. From an ignorant manager's perspective this might be true, but it's not reality. Most people cannot code well for more than about five hours or so anyway. There's still plenty of time for bureaucratic bullshit. Of course to managers, people are robots to be pushed to the max and exploited. That's why ridiculous thinking like the above exists. And this isn't even taking into account the negative consequences on the employee being forced to work long hours over even a short period of time like a few days to a week which build up and start to reduce quality even further even in the five or so hours that could be productive. It is just a stupid managerial delusion to think putting in more time coding will be more productive, thinking completely removed from reality.
Becoming harder. I already despise that cracking sound when I step on them, it’s disgusting. If they could make it louder, I would seriously hesitate to kill them.
I don't believe it is using computer vision to read the pixels and translate that into data, no. It will still get the information about what's on its screen from the API.

So presumably it will get the same info you or I could get from the minimap (presence of units in a particular area but no details as to what) + detailed information about anything in its camera-like view. This will have some effect on how the bot manages its APM budget, since it now needs to consider camera management.

But honestly, from the perspective of the Alpha research, getting information from the pixels probably isn't an interesting problem. They can pretty safely assume that they could build a Computer Vision setup that could get the same info that the API gives, given enough time + GPU horsepower.

Any possible inaccuracy/delay that might result from using Computer Vision instead of the API can be simulated. You could add a response delay (already in AlphaStar), or a random chance that the API delivers incorrect information from time to time (which I don't think they do).
Those hardly look different. From the context of the parent comments I thought you were going to suggest something completely different, but it looks like it's just a small syntax change.
We have those “corrals” in Cambridge and Somerville ma (USA) as well
Thats actually not a bad idea. There are a lot of videos that try to focus on sensual side of things instead of the cheek clapping, they could easily double as furniture ads.

The technology on Instagram now allows for products to be tagged in and around video. (I've seen much older startups do this and fail to gain traction)

Could be added to porn sites as a different form of affiliate marketing. Let the ad track you to Facebook and around the net for more furniture or home decoration.

Might be a good time to do it since other video sites like youtube are marginalizing their entire population and many people just post to porn themed sites since they don't actually care whether a video is sex related or not. They have almost no content restrictions.
The book actually calls out the liberal humanist ideology as an ideology. Discusses the benefits (greater collaborative opportunities) and the drawbacks (loss of ideological meaning)
I think it’s an excellent exploration of the ideology common in western secular society. Even if you oppose that ideology I highly recommend that you understand it.
The comment mentions London. Not impossible by train, only unlikely :)
I’ve since moved houses and jobs. Both are impossible by train or bus.

They are putting bike lanes on about 40% of my commute but 12 miles each way is a bit of a stretch.
But Teflon is non-toxic and biocompatible. You can eat it, your body is unable to process it or break it down and it will pass through your digestive system. You can coat surgical instruments and medical implants with Teflon.

(Above 300°C Teflon will generate toxic fumes, but then again, so will wood.)
a processor made out of silicon sand, the screen is made of quartz sand

The processor is made from silicon, plus trace amounts of aluminum, glass, and other materials. Silicon is smelted from silica, which is silicon dioxide; same difference as hydrogen gas and water, iron and rust, or aluminum and ruby. The common crystalline form of silica is quartz, which is the most common sand (precisely because olivine sand weathers). Most glass, including the glass used in lenses today, is a non-crystalline blend of typically about 80% silica with other materials, largely to lower its Tg. Other sands (notably garnet and aluminum oxide) are important in optics as abrasives. I hope this clears up some of the confusions you are expressing.
In their implementation, it appears you'd need to create an account by calling the contract

So it wouldn't work with existing accounts/addresses.
I beat this drum pretty regularly on HN but it is staggering to me why with our technological productivity we haven't already transitioned to less working hours. I am aware that not every industry/job could do this but how many couldn't?

It makes no sense to me why masses of people are okay with giving their prime waking hours, in the prime years of their life to earn a wage. Then we relegate living to nights and weekends. Being able to retire with the health and wealth to live your dreams is a crapshoot at best.

I realize it is a process but I would love to see more companies treat this as almost the ultimate quality of life perk they could offer.
Alternatively, a private entity which is typically described as under-regulated in its existing businesses thinks it can pivot into central banking without scrutiny.
I've worked 30 hour weeks (5x6h) for almost 10 years as a software developer. It works for me. It's happening. You don't speak for everyone. "Sorry"
I disagree. The system has had a 100% reliability for several years. I know it is unbelievable but true. That doesn't mean it doesn't suffer from failures in one or multiple AZs or that it is perfect.
It wasn’t reaching the browser.
Everyone should have a long term project..
If it's about prudence, then stopping trade with China (to reduce transportation emissions), building nuclear, and being able to control immigration would be the solutions, not giving up hamburgers and moving to the hive-city.
It's like any other startup: building a product that's useful enough to get widespread adoption requires nailing a lot of different details. You leave one critical feature off and you don't get adoption. You get all of them right and the product takes off on a hypergrowth curve. It's like how Reddit took off once they added comments, or AirBnB took off once they started taking professional-quality photos. It's not that comments define Reddit (a Reddit with comments but no links or upvoting is a mailing list) or that photos define AirBnB (an AirBnB with photos but no booking, billing, or review systems is a travel blog), but that those were the last critical features needed for success.

Speaking of the platform coins (Ethereum, EOS, Tron), I can think of few critical features they're missing. Scalability is one of them, which Ethereum is working on and EOS has - the network has to support more than 10 TPS. The ability to host a pretty, intuitive UI on the blockchain itself (so that you don't also need to run a website that listens to blockchain events for average users to run your DApp) is another. Discoverability is another, letting ordinary users find useful apps and spread them around.
The only thing I know about CORS is when every web project I do starts generating funky errors and the fix is some CORS related copy-pasta I have to add.

Very little objective thought involved.
Airbus make a superior product anyway. They've gotten FbW down to a science and were the first to use it, as well as glass cockpits. The pilots generally like Airbus planes better. They have better safety controls, more room for the pilots, and more comfortable for pilots and passengers. Boeing seems almost last century in comparison.
The set of ISO C++20 features is pretty much frozen after the upcoming Cologne meeting, and modules are in.
Simply put, for the simple "front API" can you set up a Cassandra cluster with 100% uptime? A virtual machine with 100% uptime? A rack with 100% uptime, or even electricity to that rack with 100% uptime, etc.?

Your uptime is only as good as your downstream components, and no downstream component will give you 100% guarantee. You can have redundancy on top of redundancy (like space systems), but that will just stretch out your nines at best.

For the same reason your downstream components cannot guarantee you 100% uptime, you also cannot guarantee 100% uptime for a new system in isolation, for reasons the sibling comments go into.
Yea that's annoying, but I believe that's intentional... you can pass that flag in as an arg when you launch chrome though so you don't have to set it up each time.

Which makes a lot of sense since a lot of that has happened behind the scenes in a way that may have limited their visibility or limited their margins.
Watch some of the games and it might change your opinion. The thesis that "AI in Starcraft will only win via improved mechanics" is false - the AI was making some fascinating decisions / fundamentally different meta strategies.
They are disease ridden and a health hazard.
For all the complaints about cable, what we are transitioning into is significantly worse, with a bunch of different concentrated streaming services.

The Fox-Dish battles were basically what helped keep prices lower for viewers.

Right now, customers have no big player on their side, so essentially the only way to fight Netflix price increases is on a purely individual level, which rarely works. Dish would concentrate the power of its many subscribers.
EU Population Up to Over 513M on 1 January 2019: More Deaths Than Births
Thats the beauty of decentralization. You can't really blame one person for bitcoin's value today, you have to blame everyone who participates in it (Really, who would the congress question, and what could that person do? take down bitcoin?). While Libra is centralized so single point of failure
I mean the same could be said for someone who needs to know something on Friday having to wait until Monday.

If it’s really critical you could set up a meeting on Friday or Saturday or Sunday. Or you can send an email and maybe they’ll answer on the “weekend”.

> I wonder if this means in the future, the price for a first and second season labor will be higher, thereby locking out new competition to new original series.

It could be a consequence of the whole industry going the other way.

It used to be that if you were Tom Hanks or Meryl Streep or Julia Roberts or Harrison Ford then you could write your own ticket because the star power would put butts in seats for anything you were in, which was a highly valuable commodity.

Now there are a zillion new shows, half of them with complete unknowns in them, and people figure out which shows are good based on Rotten Tomatoes and social media rather than by who is in it.

Then you get a cast who thinks their star power is worth more than it is anymore and they threaten to stop producing the show if they don't get more money, but Netflix calls their bluff because there are a thousand aspiring actors and writers behind them who are happy to make a different show that produces the same revenue for half as much money.
Yeah, i'm dealing with CORS issue with Safari right now. On a XHR with a custom header over https, safari fails with a "protocol error" error rather than running the pre-flight request. The same query without the custom header works well. Every other browser (IE, Edge, Chrome, Firefox) handle it well and does the OPTIONS call to ensure I allow this header. If anybody has a solution for that, I'm all ears :)
Wood tastes better
Am I missing something? The article is about AMP. It's fine to dislike it, but your blog content is not displayed via AMP if you do not enable so blocking the Googlebot is totally unreasonable to me.
But that's just a reason why it would be a bad idea, not a reason that they couldn't do it or that it wouldn't work.

I would think that they could distribute the cert (and the key) and have it work. [Edit] Unless browsers detect that it's a local IP address behind the domain name and still consider it a special case of origin.
Maybe that's what LIGO is detecting now...
over-generalizing cuts both ways when dealing with anecdotes: all those people you know might just be a tiny fraction of the full work force that _does_ twiddle their thumbs behind their desks for a collective 10 hours per week and would see barely any impact on productive output by lowering the number of hours spent behind that desk while keeping the pay the same, because the output stays the same.
I've never thought about this, but now that you mention it, I think is a great idea.
Dongles would cost more than Pi
That is not meant to be "hand wavy," as there is no "hand-wavy" way to gloss over the fact that humans are putting out massive amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year. It is now on the order of over 45,000,000,000 tonnes (45 Gt) yearly, meaning we need at least 36 Gt of olivine to offset it. That is no small amount of rock and we do not plan to start at that level. The reason we mention those numbers is to let you know that it is more than possible to acquire that much material each year, as we are doing it for multiple other industries each year.

Olivine mining is open-pit near the surface and is neither labor nor energy intensive. Based on current olivine (dunite) mining in Norway, where they mined 3.4 million tonnes of dunite with only 141 employees[1], it can be extrapolated that the 36 GT of olivine needed could be mined by less than 1.5 million people working at the same capacity globally.

To put that in perspective for you, the Chinese coal market employeed 5.29 million people in 2013, and based on a 2017 report, they are trying to remove 2.3 million people from the industry[2]. So there are plenty of people who could do this, it is about creating the demand for the mineral.

There are many developing countries around the world lacking other valuable exports, yet that have olivine reserves, and we look at helping them create "green" jobs as a potential benefit.

I don't really understand how CORS adds much security wise; it relies on the web browser behaving and respecting your policy...
I can guarantee you that 99% of every company that has a copy of your PII has employees that can connect to work resources via VPN.
I've been toying with the idea that companies that use user data passively (while the user is not interacting with the system in a way to expect that data usage) should have to notify the user about the usage. For instance, if data you produced was randomly selected to be listened to by someone, you should get a notification somewhere about it.

I think something along these lines would help increase user awareness.
StarCraft or any RTS presents new challenges that were not covered by previous games. Basic things such as the massive action space meant that the previous “tabula rasa” approach was abandoned in favor of imitation learning to get the agents off the ground. Micro and macro are meaningless if you cannot put a build or semi-cohesive game plan together; a skill we take for granted among human players. That’s where I think the real interesting parts come about: crafting build orders, reactions to other builds, and new tactics that may emerge. You can tell that this is what the researchers are trying to achieve by limiting the throughput in terms of actions per minute.
I think the point of the OP is that you shouldn't think about the optimizations a compiler might do, but what the language spec guarantees. If the language spec guarantees that your code behaves the way you want, no correct compiler will break it.
The semantics are clear and have already stabilized. The discussions the last year have almost entirely been about syntax.
Can you answer to this point?

> You never talk about how someone might recover a bitcoin private key.

I skimmed the paper and it sounds like this doesn’t help with bitcoin but requires its own blockchain or smart contract.
This is great! Presumably natural olivine outcrops also sometimes produce high nickel levels nearby, no? What are the surrounding ecosystems like?
“This is crazy”: FCC kills part of San Francisco’s broadband-competition law
I think pixelperfect is talking about preflights.
Your statement holds true if you use a single cloud provider. FTR we ran our own DCs with several AZs spread globally. We did suffer failures in individual DCs occasionally but there was zero user-visible impact which is the whole point.
How do you inspect apps to find if they are running local servers?
Except banking is highly regulated and the money not held in reserves is invested with oversight on how much risk is taken (that oversight fails sometimes but generally works). If a tech company can jump in and function as a bank without oversight that is going to hurt banks.

History has shown us that unregulated banks, and regulated banks that push the limits or evade regulations fail and cause damage to the entire economic system.
I think Slamball is the closest we will get in our lifetimes.
It's not banking laws at all, it is the way they set up the association, I presume precisely to avoid fears like this.

I think there are not clear laws yet about this kind of backed stablecoins. However, their reserve will be 100% , which is way more than any bank.
Parisians often go to London for weekends

There are things happening in Africa right now that make me think FB won't be a major player in Africa in the future. The Africans have been smitten by the Chinese protectionist model. That new free trade agreement they have actually specifically excludes your company from benefiting if you're using goods or services from outside the zone where options exist inside the zone. Don't misunderstand me, I get it, they need to get their economies going. Get jobs for their people. Etc. Just pointing out that this stipulation has some obvious consequences for companies outside the zone.

And it's not just Africa, I'm betting the future will see a balkanization of the internet. I could be wrong though? But I doubt it. A lot of corruption in Africa and everywhere else, and corrupt people are exceedingly greedy. I think we can count on them taking the whole pie wherever possible. As well as aggressively working to expand the number of places it's possible to take the whole pie.
