The right-click mouse gestures in Maya 3d are one example of solving this problem nicely. If you do it at normal speed, you see & select items on the context menus and submenus. But as you learn the gestures that form from making these selections you can execute them rapidly and the context menus don't need to be displayed. It's a perfect example of training you to use an advanced feature with an easy learning curve, then letting the 'training wheels' come off on a case by case basis, no change in settings needed!

Does anyone happen to know of any other applications that use this kind of UI, or even better, a windows utility that adds this kind of functionality across the OS, building custom context-menus for each application?
Even just formatting > as <blockquote> would be a good change.
For it to happen in the Senate, there will have to be really compelling evidence. Not just evidence that will convince a Democrat; evidence that will convince a Republican. And that's as it should be - you shouldn't be able to remove the president just by convincing the opposition that he should go.

It's not impossible, though. A bunch of the Republicans are law-and-order and national security types. They may care about the current charges against Trump - if compelling evidence is presented.
I am happy that Bob is safe.
We still need a smart watch that can function using a battery or at a capacity of a normal watch to make this event a bigger success.
I get your point and agree but I think gyms make money from people not being there at all. If every gym member showed up multiple times a week it would be like going to the gym the week after New Year's.
+1 for this.

UC Irvine has a famous repo of datasets for machine learning research but does not have a metadata dump anywhere. I had to crawl it manually and create one (1). Would be great if you offered a single URL with CSV/JSON/other dump of your available datasets.

That's the premise of the article but not the premise of what I'm saying. I think that enjoyment in sports and games in general is an innate part of human psychology. I suspect there are differences on average across a population in what types of games or sports they prefer and that may be more cultural. But the general pattern is there isn't a civilization existing or past that hasn't had some sort of sporting or gaming events, and "play" is also found in many other species.

Extremely well written and very informative.
They added mouse support with this release. It’s an accessibility feature, and it moves a “fake finger” as your control rather than a precise mouse pointer but apparently it works.
Irony was not my intention.
Calling SDK's a loophole seems pretty strange. It's not like SDK's have any more permissions than you grant to the app or anything, there's no real loophole here. Maybe this is surprising to very non-technical people, but if you are even somewhat technical it should be pretty obvious that companies are not going to re-implement everything from the ground up, they need to share code via libraries.
It isn't technically virtue signing since it's meant to be persuasive.

The post further down (well, up now) that's calling attention to the fact that the guy should replace his helmet because he used it (something that is common knowledge for most people young enough to only have worn single use helmets and is literally printed on the helmet and packaging) is a better example of virtue signaling since it states something basically everyone already accepts as fact and is only tangentially related to the article in the first place.

Unfortunately, the term virtue signaling has taken on a political meaning so you can't say it and expect the internet even if you mean it in the technical sense.
“Tribe as product” already exists, most successfully in professional sports teams: “I am a die hard Eagles fan.”
Well, crap. I have been avoiding smart watches like the plague but this plus the ECG may put me over the edge. My family has a history of heart disease, I commute by bike every day, and I have a young child who I want to see grow up.

One of my friends was recently killed in a motorcycle crash. A passerby found them in the morning in some bushes near the side of the road. We don't know what time the crash occurred, or even if they died right away. This feature may have saved them.
If there are any folks here from Talos, I think there's a lot of confusion about what it is, where it fits in the stack and so on.

I think part of the confusion comes from the scarcity of diagrams. I personally also find it helpful to have design motivations laid out. There is a list of "capabilities and benefits", but it would help me to understand what the current state of the world before Talos is added to it.
I think it has a second persuasive characteristic, which is simply to contrast with the claimed baseline.

This second characteristic really grates on me when it comes in the form "I don't even know anything about X and even I know this is bad!" -- wherein people somehow leverage their lack of credibility on a subject as a source of authority.

But I think it works because it makes the claim bigger by changing what it's being compared to.
MDX isn't a relational language, though. It's a dimensional language.

The best short description I can give about MDX is that it's the language your pedantic uncle would come up with after falling in love with Ralph Kimball, when all he knew to base it on was SQL.

But the core operations in MDX operate upon hierarchical dimensions and facts that can be aggregated.

SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE

has no inherent relational semantic. It is simply a syntax that has been standardized upon for interacting with relational database systems. It was also, coincidentally, chosen as the syntax for another language, MDX.

Funny enough, the successor to SSAS Multidimensional is SSAS Tabular, where the query language is DAX. DAX was designed with an explicit goal of looking like Excel's formula language, but it is in fact a relational language which is semantically very similar to SQL, despite looking nothing like it.
I mean...sort of.

The problem IMO is the scale of the opportunity relative to how much money is consumed.

There are great businesses at every increment of enterprise value from $5 million up to $5 billion. We just need to realize this, and stop judging greatness by the pure size of the exit.

I think Silicon Valley could learn a lot from Hollywood in so many ways. One is how we think about "greatness". Is there the equivalent of a "great indie flick" for software companies? Or will we continue to use "exit value" as the only yardstick?
That's an assumption. I'm pretty certain there is no data on text vs mic use in casual games, and my anecdotal experiences suggest the opposite. There is also a qualitative difference between "gg ez :^)" and chatting on mic.
Great milestone and coincident with the release of 'Permanent Record' just re-enforces the need for this device.
I wonder if the ads are now targeted more toward the idiot end of the spectrum as the only people without ad blockers...
This just isn't true at all. Developed economies rely more on oil than less developed ones. Plus, more of that is driven by prices at source because in undeveloped countries delivery effort is a big price component. Here is some context on the volatility of oil: https://www.thebalance.com/oil-price-history-3306200

10y ago we were at almost twice the price and developing countries weren't "on strike full-retard" or seeing oil driven defaults.

The closest to a country really being screwed recently by oil prices have been exporters, especially Russia which depends on higher prices to balance its budgets and had been harmed byow prices.

That's not to say that oil prices "aren't important". It's just that every industry/economy/etc had been forced to learn to weather price volatility. That's. Why there is such a developed futures etc market.
The 2015 Garmin Edge Explore 1000 bike computer has this feature. By all accounts it was/is implemented poorly and triggers erroneously all the time. If they'd made it call the emergency services they'd have got in a lot of trouble.

Apple don't deserve any credit for the idea but deserve something for doing it well.
> Losers consent is a part of democracy and life.

Oh, come on. When Labour wins an election the entire Tory party doesn't switch over to their side of things. Arguing that Remain has dropped to 4-6% of the populace is not reasonable.

> The thing is, the will of the people is what the referendum said at the time, nothing else.

What law established this? This is particularly disingenuous given the explicitly non-binding nature of the first referendum.

You were perfectly happy to cite current opinion polls when you thought they supported your will of the people argument.

> It'd be great if all votes could be done with the benefit of hindsight, but to my knowledge nobody has invented a time machine yet.

A second referendum can absolutely be done with hindsight. "Gee, that didn't go well."
By "heart disease" I assume you mean angina/heart attacks. The Apple Watch can't detect those sorts of conditions (that requires multiple ECG leads, but the watch only has one).

There is so much commercial real estate that it's hard to imagine them in any kind of a monopoly situation.
I had an earlier model, and ditched it after I forgot to put it on one day, and realized I didn't care. Having to have it charge for a bunch each day, and it not really being designed for overnight wear (as I understand it) really hold it back.

I bought a Fitbit Charge on impulse at an airport for a couple of hundred bucks, and have worn it every day since. I think I prefer it because the battery seems to last forever, it's light-weight, and it's not doing any additional features (although I think it can) than taking my heart rate, counting my steps, and a silent alarm. Would love the EKG feature tho.
I didn't know that, good to know.
Especially in communities. For ease, people lump things such as social media and gaming in with "addiction". I'm sure 100 years from now in many cases the "social media addicts" will have a subset that leans toward success beyond their local community, and the gamers have a longer life expectancy than many in their community. I'd rather my kid game than go outside even in our middle-class neighborhood. I'd rather have my kid keep in touch with friends via social media than having them all in my kitchen when I'm not home.

There're tradeoffs, pros and cons to social media and gaming, but framing it in an addiction narrative isn't helping matters. This is what led many Chinese people to put their kids in "camps" that used Electro Convulsive Therapy to "fix their internet addiction". This is born of ignorance, and the addiction narrative.

I think elements can be intuited, and more studies done, but when you're bashing the cheapest forms of entertainment and social contact, and safest to boot, as addictions... that's just ignorant.

Again, non germane response. My original response was aimed at schools that admit legacies and merit students. Its sole purpose was to counter the claim that legacies help merit students via networking.

If MIT doesn't do legacy then none of my criticism applies to it. Nowhere did I diminish the value of college connections. I did diminish the value of connections between intelligent students and the well to do as being unnecessary to the success of those students. Your experience at MIT supports my claim because MIT graduates do very well despite having no legacy admissions.

Thus we can dismiss the idea that legacy admissions are necessary to help merit students. Please don't try to derail the discussion

Thanks! That's really interesting feedback. We hadn't thought of that.
"This is despite the all-out oil price war that Saudi started in 2014 against U.S. shale producers to try to destroy the industry through low prices caused by flooding the markets with oil. “If the Saudis had anything near 12 million barrels per day capacity, that would have been the time to pump it but all it managed was just under 10 [million bpd] with 10.5 [million bpd] managed for just one month over that two-year period [2014-2016 before Saudi reversed it strategy],”

Would it have been the time to pump it? If the goal was just to impact US shale producers, why also undercut your own sales? The best strategy factoring in shale-targeting AND profits would be to pump just as much as to impact shale producers, but no more.

Also, another angle as hinted at from conclusions, but not included:

"Saudi Arabia ends up boosting the bank accounts of the very people that it thinks was behind the attacks on its own oil infrastructure, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps "

but, counterpoint, if they pumped too much at that time, dropping prices against US interests, when the political climate was more favorable to Iran, trade talks could have further favored Iran as a counterbalance, if for no other reason than to 'keep the saudis in line'.

i have no direct knowledge, but the analysis is quick to highlight some angles and not others.
> Did you look at Africa?

Yeah, I looked at it. There are datacenters within 2000km of everywhere, and that's including the Sahara. About 1500km outside of the Sahara.

1500km as the crow flies, so let's say 2400km of fiber. At the speed of light in fiber, that's 11.5 milliseconds. Double it, add time for ten routers, that's 27 milliseconds to go from any ISP line to a Cloudflare data center.

Sounds good to me. If there are infrastructure problems that's a separate issue from whether Cloudflare has enough POPs.

It's worth noting that the existential threat has eased a lot for Red Hat. Openshift is growing as alternative revenue stream but has a long way to go before it replaces RHEL subscriptions. But now that IBM is keeping the lights on, Red Hat has at least a decade of breathing room it didn't have before. It can afford to loosen the RHEL reigns a bit.

Disclosure: I work for Pivotal, we compete against Red Hat in a number of ways.

The list of datasets is pretty dynamic. Would an API call work as a URL? (assuming it could return a CSV/TSV/etc.)?
I love Stack Overflow but there's a lot about this announcement that doesn't make sense.

One: is Rackspace really such a great company? Hard to say. Maybe this CEO was able to achieve great results there. From where I'm sitting, Rackspace is a third-tier cloud infrastructure provider at best, falling farther and farther behind competent "supermarkets" like Azure/GCE/AWS, as well as niche providers like Digital Ocean, Hetzner, or Softlayer.

As for the announcement itself, this feels _incredibly_ "photoshopped". I give Joel a lot of credit for stepping back from something he wasn't excited about, but this press release reads as just this -- a press release. This is the guy who wrote "Hitting the High Notes", "The Guerilla Guide to Interviewing", and many other fantastic essays. The entire tone of this release just screamed "PR".
What do you mean?

It's not your racism that has you stating that someone in a country with a very good track record when it comes to CO2 emissions (and a number of other environmental aspects) should stop having children, so that someone in a overly populated country, with an appalling record when it comes to all kinds of pollution can have even more children?

If it's not racism from your part that makes you ask for that, than you should clarify what it is. But one thing is for certain, it's not environmentalism for sure.
Google home is pretty mediocre with basic commands, especially things like “turn on the lights”, it just starts some random song on Spotify.
I build and maintain large-scale Kubernetes infrastructure for a living the way I put it is: easy to setup, somewhat more challenging to maintain.

It's not rocket science, but like any complex computing tool it requires dedicated attention especially if you are going to run more than a handful of clusters. A lot of the tooling in the ecosystem falls flat here, it all solves the Day One: Getting Started problem but often punts on Day 2: Operations and then once it realizes it is actually a problem hamfistedly engineers a bolt-on solution.

So back to my point: Provisioning and setup easy... maintenance moderately more complex.
Same goes for child car seats. Some manufacturer actually replace them for free last time I checked.
And compliments vim really well if you set your leader key to space.
The watch doesn't have enough data to detect a heart attack. It's not possible for the device to do it (with current, or even near-future technology it's not possible for any wrist worn device to detect a heart attack as it's happening).
Well, if he leaves now, it's not as if he's going off to a terrible fate. He's been pretty well-paid. If he gets an IPO out of it someday, he'll get even more money, but if he doesn't, he gets to step off the burning ship.

Or, to put it another way, he doesn't have to go through firing all of those people that he hired when he was pumping the company up to ginormous size. I think perhaps the fun part of running WeWork was behind him, regardless of how it turns out.

Without “full access,” the API surface is basically nil and the keyboard is just a dumb app. With full access, the keyboard can phone home with everything you’re typing. Kudos to Apple for calling it “Allow Full Access” to make people sufficiently wary of it.

Your argument was based on research claiming that I would have made just as much money in my career if I hadn't gone to MIT. So what was the point of my MIT education? According to your argument, apparently nothing!

The conclusion that your reasoning leads us to here is clearly germane because it is absurd. Consequently, I can't accept your argument as presented.

obviously it's a loss on paper. When R&D investment counts against income for tax purposes; where T is the tax rate, R is the expected return made on R&D and I is interest paid on money to fund R&D, it makes sense to borrow enough money to offset all revenue while

and a lot of tech companies go nuts as a result with ridiculous acquisitions. In that sense, Tesla has a relative advantage because a factory's value is unlikely to go to zero.
Interesting to see many sites load faster without uBlock because DOM content loaded is faster... it would be nice if we could run more scientific measurement to get a better understanding of the load time differences.
I can understand why you'd feel the risk of such an event is sufficiently low that it's not worth buying/charging/wearing a "permanent tracking device", particularly if you also feel it doesn't respect your privacy adequately. And I agree our collective tolerance to risk is going down over time. But I'm curious about this part of your comment:

> Speaking for myself, I'm ready to die when its time. If my body is so weak and knackered that I cannot even go for a bike ride without medical assistance then I reckon it's time to shuffle off this mortal coil and make way for someone else.

This could happen because of a hit-and-run driver or because of some other temporary medical condition; either might be completely resolved with the right treatment. I think a better way to look at it is about your quality of life afterward. If you're terminally ill or of very advanced age with a poor prognosis for recovery, then I can see why you'd want a "do not resuscitate" order, would disable this feature, etc. Otherwise why not get help?
So they invited the public to come watch in a venue in the north bay a year or two ago, an hour ish north of sf, and I went - it was, eh, okay. They wanted the crowd to perform cheering and stuff, it was really more like being an extra. The fights were cool, but it was pretty optimized for being a tv show and not very optimized for being a tv replay of a live show. Shrug, seems fine for what it is, just for what it's worth.
It is an inaccurate descriptor in my opinion. The cash isn't making decisions. The "corporation" isn't making any decisions. People are making decisions. Corporations are just groups of people just like unions are groups of people and governments are groups of people. Whenever one of these entities commits some malicious act against someone it is because people decided to do it to other people. Framing it in any other way is just an attempt to make us feel better about the reality of the situation.
You say it’s a non sequitur and immediately restate the necessity to replace a helmet that’s taken an impact.

I don’t reckon that’s how a non sequitur works:

A non sequitur is a conclusion or reply that doesn't follow logically from the previous statement.
Meh. This is the second sexual revolution. The first go around resulted in rules and around causal sex in college that favor men and encode male expectations. Women are making clear that those rules don’t work for them and are demanding a change. If you don’t push the line on consent you have nothing to worry about.
The whole situation is already the product of too much left-brain imperative thinking, but I have to wonder if a basic suit for medical malpractice would have legs. The doctor in question essentially got her physically addicted, and then when told of the symptoms, unilaterally chose a wildly inappropriate "treatment" which exacerbated that addiction.
Maybe it's possible but the current installer has windows pop up a UAC prompt before it continues.
