I am not sure every comment critical of elastic's move has been down voted consistently to grey them out.

This has happened with my comments on other posts, it's content is that instead of using license encumbered ELK product people can use SOLR, Vespa or Lucene which are truly open source. It was down voted enough to move it to last or grey it out to make it difficult to read.

> Is a king's claim not simply the land of the state once the country transitions to democracy?

That depends on how the state and personal domains of the monarch are disentangled when the monarchy is disestablished (in the case of the UK the moanrchy hasn't been disestablished, merely almost entirely politically neutralized.)

The former monarch could be left with anything between vast private domains and nothing. But there is no one uniquely correct answer.
In other words, they aren't factoring in compression.
> That depends on the vehicle. If it's an ICE with a manual transmission, and you can get it moving fast enough, you can pop the clutch to start it.

This depends on just how dead it is on newer cars.

If it's able to run the electronics but just unable to crank enough to start, this can work. If it's dead enough that you can't unlock the doors it's probably also dead enough that the fuel pump, ECU, etc. aren't going to be able to do their thing.

Carbureted vehicles can be bump started from flat dead for the most part, but EFI and especially direct injected vehicles need some electricity to operate.
Van Jacobson explained it to us at Ford Aerospace around 1982 or so. Back then it was UUCP mail that was synching up. Mailers forwarded mail every 15 minutes or so, and they'd all synch up and try to call the same receiver at the same time. If you do "send mail, then wait 15 minutes", that happens, because the "send mail" part is variable time, longer if it's being held up by traffic. You have to start the next cycle N minutes after the start of the previous cycle, not the end, or you get strong synchronization.

Never knew Floyd, though.
> How often are bolders in the road?

as someone who has driven all over the west , all the time.

You have New Mexico and Arizona that believe that steep incline cliff faces on both sides of the highways are a fashion statement, states like California, Washington, and Oregon that like to build new properties on rapid-eroding mountainsides, and states like Nevada that simply don't patrol sparsely populated highways -- and are simply ignorant to the boulder some kids rolled into the street some weeks back.

All anecdotal, but i'm a fairly heavy driver and I see them commonly.

I agree that false positives are to be avoided -- but that doesn't really lessen the value in boulder-avoidance ; it just brings up yet another point to worry about with the system as a whole.
The ads you're referring to here are called display ads. Most of these ads are not about getting you to click, but about awareness.

It's the same thing as a full-page advert in a magazine that you flip through. For some readers, they will stop an read it, raising awareness to that brand/product/company etc.
I read this, believed it, and repeated it to a friend in a Lego store. My friend then pointed out that there are tons of models with guns and many other weapons. I think the actual policy is that their original nonlicensed models don't feature modern day guns or military vehicles, but they are totally fine making models with guns and weapons of war so long as they are from the fantasy world or they are not modern.
I worked with Sally on many projects. She taught me more that anyone else about what it is to do good science in the field of networking. The lengths she went to to convince herself that she really understood what was happening, and wasn't just being deluded by a simulation bug, or a lucky case. In particular, her shepherding of the ns2 simulator over many years, and the time she spent on the test suite, so it was possible to use ns to exchange ideas between researchers in a rigorous manner. She didn't care much what other people thought - she was by far a more careful critic of her own work than any reviewer of her papers. RIP Sally.

> You can always find 'some people' that will force their point of view and unfortunately do it in way that says 'there really isn't anything else to discuss about this issue it's open and shut'.

> Also important to realize that there were most likely people at that meeting that agreed with what Negroponte said but were to afraid (for fear of backlash) to say that.

While I agree with you that at times a small minority can shut down discussion, in this particular case I think an overwhelming majority of that audience believed that taking Epstein's money was unconscionable. So while there probably at least a few audience members who agreed with Negroponte, and while those who agreed were probably afraid to publicly voice their support, I'm doubtful there were actually that many of them.

But perhaps I'm wrong. Do you have a way of estimating what percentage of people believe that accepting money from a convicted sex offender (and accused pedophile) is ethically appropriate?
If you go single table you can use filtered indexes if your database supports it to speed up queries instead of having to do a row by row search with a where clause.

Personally this seems like a job for DynamoDB but that’s a whole beast unto itself. You must know the queries you will do to the database before hand as that guides how you craft it. There’s an amazing talk at reinvent that is given almost every year on creating a DynamoDB schema (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HaEPXoXVf2k)

I would normalize as the theory says and then denormalize as performance requires it.
That sounds great. But I couldn't do that with my wife, because we're both terrible with paperwork and planning. My wife even refuses to use a digital calendar, for example, as well as anything involving receipts or basic algebra. And its not that she doesn't pull her own weight, she's just insane.

I'm in Europe, so most of my friends with children aren't actually married. They know what you wrote above. Most of them still get married at some point, because it's an effective way to reinforce the internalized relationship status by externalizing it, which is in general is valuable to long-term couples.

That is an entertaining story. Can you provide the source for this story?
I haven't tried shrooms, but I did try once a very small amount of cannabis. I didn't experience anything unusual except that my imagination became very crisp: it's usually hard to visualize complex things, as they tend to float away and vanish, but that time whatever I was imagining, remained surprisingly stable. I was able to visualize complex patterns with very fine structure. FWIW, I have a very strong math background, I'm specially trained to focus my mind and can invoke certain unusual effects without drugs; yet that cannabis definitely did something I wasn't able to do on my own. Edit: There is a way to switch from the "3D" imagination to the "4D" one, like some people say here, and it's indeed hard to transfer knowledge from the "4D" mode to the "3D" one [because our "3d" memory isn't quite fit for the "4d" thoughts, so it's lossy transfer?]. This surprising similarity of experiences makes me think that shrooms switch your brain to that mode, without any special training.
This study shows that they are correlated, but not necessarily causation. It could EASILY be that people feeling worse use Facebook more.
I'm amazed at how easy it is to kill the battery on modern cars. I would think that they would monitor the batter and shut-off all non-ignition systems when it gets low. Or at least turn off the headlights when the car is off.
Have you ever been to go karts? To me flying a drone is much like that. I have never had an expensive drone only flew the 50$ or less drones I have gotten my young children. Flying around the yard avoiding things trying to land in different spots is a heck of a lot of fun with no real purpose. I can only imagine the countless hours of fun I would have with first person view flying. So for me I like drones just for fun. Though I do not fly every single day, every once in a while I will go out for a fly. The drones with the ability to take pictures is a lot of fun. A drone getting away on you and almost crashing but adrenaline kicks in and you run after it and save it in the nick of time is a thrilling experience. This some of the best fun I’ve had playing with my kids toys.

Interesting thought. So if as an employer you'd be paying €3k/month for a domestic servant, that would correspond to about a €100k cost for a robot. You can't get a robot that can do the same things at any price currently, but that's a bigger budget for the robot than a single function robot like Roomba gets.
An important question worth asking is how many of Epstein's friends and business associates were also having sex with underage girls on "Pedophile Isle." The notion that it was just Epstein having all of the fun here is hard to believe, quite frankly, given a basic understanding of male sexual behavior. A complete list of victims needs to be compiled, and lineups should be conducted against everyone, including Joi, who had any "business" relationship whatsoever with a known convicted pedophile. After all, that's why we have sex offender registries. They exist for a purpose. Marvin Minsky, a Media Lab co-founder has already been accused of having sex with underage girls by one of the victims. And there are also allegations out there that Epstein and Maxwell were used by intelligence agencies (Massod and/or CIA) for sex blackmail operations. Search youtube for Whitney Webb for more details. Negroponte family also has deep ties to intelligence and Epstein worked for current Attorney General's father. This story ain't over yet.

It's inevitable that someone will die because of this design at some point, and the various articles and online discussions about these problems and the company's arrogance and incompetence at addressing them will mean they will be found criminally negligent.

I was very impressed with the info in "Sacred Knowledge: by William A. Richards"

There is so much info about many different issues that can be treated, and the info coming from the doctors / scientists at Johns Hopkins that's in the book, is awesome.

I find it is a great bridge for those who are in the medical community / or lean towards not believing there is therapeutic uses.. scientific proof from JH is proof.

However this book is also extra beneficial to those who already believe or understand some of the 'magical effects' - as it gets into some of the studies and some of the methods - and opens the doors to furthering the use in many ways.
I feel like it's a fallacy to assume objects (cars, cameras, speakers, coffeemakers, whiskey, etc) fall only into Corollas and supercars. There's usually something in between, priced way towards the Corolla side, that makes daily driving so much more fun, like a Honda Civic Si or Olympus OM-D.

What I find most interesting is how those parties seem to find out what people wants and incorporate it into their agenda. Very different thing is parties building their agendas, usually around authoritarian measures coming from some lobbies and then shoving them down our throats with massive amounts of propaganda.

The question is whether someone has a legal right to conduct a monetary transaction anonymously. I think if you get to the root of the issue, most governments would prefer to track every transaction to ensure compliance with tax, money laundering, [insert whatever regulation].

However I think the state already has an absurd amount of power and the citizens need every tool possible to prevent governments from hurting them. Anonymous transactions, such as those using cash but also using new technologies like privacy-focused cryptocurrencies, are essential to keeping the state from becoming a panopticon. You can already see the inevitable outcome of all-powerful government with the ridiculous situation in Hong Kong and the social credit system in China.
> for collecting data with lidars and multispectral cameras

What's the use case for this data?
A large cap index fund wouldn't have the same liquidity problems, but it has the problem that if this were to happen, funds might have to sell their large cap holdings to cover outflows, driving down those prices. At least it would reflect the NAV, though.

You could buy a closed-end mutual fund since it won't be balancing its holdings in the same way.

You could buy a small cap fund and short a large cap fund, betting that small cap shares will get distorted in the positive direction if there's a liquidity crunch.

I guess I'm somewhat less worried about people not picking stocks because hedge funds, and really, anyone greedy, will always try to do that, bringing some amount of pricing to the market.

> "An alligator's body heat depends on its environment," said Kent Vliet, coordinator of laboratories at the University of Florida's Department of Biology. "Therefore, we noticed when it was cooler and the alligators are trying to warm up, our thermal imaging showed big hot spots in these holes in the roof of their skull, indicating a rise in temperature. Yet, later in the day when it's warmer, the holes appear dark, like they were turned off to keep cool.

T.Rex seem to have similar holes filled with blood vessels.

Fascinating.
There are entire markets that cannot be accessed by publishers unless they subsidize content with ads. That is not a false dichotomy, that is a market requirement.

> It is easy to brush these away as long past history, but for example these properties were confiscated from the hands of the current princes father. That I'd think as pretty close connection still.

I'm having a problem coming up with a reason why we should care about the prince of Liechtenstein compared any other random person. Seriously during the period when they lost their lands whole families were totally wiped out. Especially considering they were neutral during WWII.
> After noting how long the speakers took to get through their readings, the researchers calculated an average speech rate per language, measured in syllables/second.

> No matter how fast or slow, how simple or complex, each language gravitated toward an average rate of 39.15 bits per second

So does this mean that we are "understanding" only those 39 bits of syllables per second, or more like we are using those 39 bits to index something like an internal address space?

And if the latter is the case, how big would that address space be?

It would also be cool to see this complemented with the data rate (bits/second) of emotion communicated per second and see if that increases the total effective rate of communication between people.
It was hyped in the 80s, and real advances were made, and then it crashed. Now it's hyped again, and real advances are being made, but it's still set to crash again. The problem is that "AI" is too big and romanticized a term. Symbolic reasoning is a real technology; neural nets are a real technology; AI is at best science fiction, at worst marketing fluff. So despite having some real substance, the hype still outpaces the reality.
I don't think it matters what anyone thinks. The reality will hit the poor hardest. Those of us who ignore the root causes, continue the same behaviors and expect different results, and look for some magical solution are culpable.

For those that do not know they were one of the original cell phone companies in California and the west (now AT&T). He did not own a cell phone, a fact which I found strange. I asked him why and his answer was “they screwed it all up..the deployments and coverage, it’s a solved issued but they screwed it up anyway. I will not own a cell until it works everywhere.”

The 'client' in this case is the individual web sites that use Google's ad solutions -- not Google itself. It's the same thing with businesses' Facebook pages -- Facebook simply acts as a data processor in that case.

This is why nothing will be done about this. Sure, we might see a few smaller businesses fined, but the vast majority of sites using Google for ads will simply slip under the radar, while Google simply puts the blame on the site owners.

I don’t think a serious study of the issue can be done. Code review is the most difficult part of the development process (and a major advantage of open source), and businesses want to code the MVP as fast as possible without the competition copying them.

The ideal language isn’t the most efficient language but one that is fast to develop, and leaves a possibility to optimize later. I would think languages like Nim and Rust are best in that regard, and more recently JavaScript.
