Good to know about the "..." thing

Even though I'll miss it myself as a power user I think this is actually fine so long as there's a common standard for integrating third-party engines.

Opensearch came about when search was in its nasency and people envisioned all sorts of complex needs for it. 90%+ of opensearch schemas just end up being something like "searchengine.org/?q=%s" in practice.

The main thing we'll lose out in the simpler pattern is autocomplete, which you could specify via "<Url type="application/x-suggestions+json"

What the article doesn't make clear and I wish it did was what Firefox's future of supporting third party search engines looks like. I just came back to firefox after 8 years away, and it seems from some of the UI changes like the "This time search with" feature that they do want to encourage a diversity of search engines overall.

This may just be confusing/bad comms, I hope.
Something like this tech would make for a great pre-filter that would greatly extend the life of membrane systems. The last membrane system I saw required extensive rejuvenation of the membranes annually.

DeepMind's AlphaZero?

I think it's an incoherent premise to suggest that you could have a human with no contextual knowledge or experience that pertains to playing an arbitrary game. There's no blank-slate human that you could test like that. Even the act of finding food and eating, walking around and avoiding hazards, observing the movement and behavior of other people and animals..those experiences shape a person's ability to interpret an environment and model the agents within it. Those priors would be useful for any first-attempt at a game.
As far as I know CCPA isn't enforced until 2020, but yes, it eventually should. We'll also try and cover more EU countries soon. Pull requests welcome in the meantime.
Yes, Table 5 shows that N is 18 without CHF and 15 with CHF. These come from separate data sets that have EKG data sampled at different frequencies.

Basically, they took 18 electrocardiographic tracings (sampled at 128 Hz) from participants without CHF, of whom 13 come from women. They compared them to 15 electrocardiographic tracings (sampled at 250 Hz) from participants with CHF, of whom 4 come from women.

Hard to even know where to begin with this one.
Their post specifically stated a legal argument:

So I'm curious about the law that provides that.

I used dietlibc as a replacement for glibc in supermin, when making an initramfs. As background the size of the initramfs is key for boot performance since qemu takes quite some time (where "some time" means milliseconds) to load a large initramfs; and the binaries in the initramfs are usually statically linked. The final size of the init binary was about 1/40th as big as when using glibc:

Looking at the violent protests of a minority in France, it seems a 50%+1 majority is no guarantee for a stable society.

Seems like a reasonable ask. Gov't pays for preventative care like physicals, flu shots, and STI testing (sort of already happening on the last bit through Planned Parenthood), insurance takes care of traumatic events.

Seems to me though the greatest cost in healthcare, and thus causing the greatest amount of contention, are chronic ailments that can't really be classified as preventative or traumatic, and require constant doctor visits to treat.

Care for the elderly is a similar story since they make up most doctor visits and are the biggest consumers of medications overall.

Grid and flexbox have different uses and values. I wouldn't give up on grid. There are things it does that Flexbox fails spectacularly at. (absolute layout control for one...) But also flexbox does a few things grid simply cannot. So it's good to know both.

We sent astronauts to the moon with Newtonian physics. No need for relativity. This is more akin to relativity in that it expands our domain knowledge and explanatory power but the old model already does most of the work.
This presumably depends on what your water source is. If you are desalinating groundwater, then yes the brine is going to be an issue, for seawater less so

That didn't work for sewage or plastic though. The ocean is huge, which is why if you look at the numbers then you can put all human garbage into it and it won't even take up 0.001% of it.

In reality, the ocean is huge. So all that salt/garbage/whatever is increadibly uneavenly distributed and will naturally collect in certain areas. In the case of extra salt it could easily have an adverse effect on local ecosystems.
Other countries have better healthcare with single payer systems also.
You must be very careful when doing so though; to do so in a haphazard way is dangerous to sea life due to the high salinity of the brine that is the primary byproduct of desalination.

From what I can tell, its a cavitating bubble in a very fast flowing tube. Then water vapor is extracted from inside the bubble (not sure how). Given the energy required to keep the flow going, and the drip of clean water that would result it should be easily calculable what the energy input/volume of water is.

Flexbox is great if you don’t have wildly different layouts across different screen sizes.

If your layout is different enough that you’ll need media queries then you’ll want to use grid anyways.
The choice between the big-bang and tired-light is a choice between self-consistent theories which each explain the available data

... but tired-light then goes on to fail at explaining other data, and experimental tests.

By all means, come up with new hypotheses to explain existing phenomena. When those new hypotheses subsequently make predictions that disagree with experiment and new observations, the choices are to acknowledge this or to do what you appear to be doing. Please stop.

Writing your own web framework?
And yet, here you are, validating the very criticism of your heavy handed authoritarian nature. You make the very same kind of authoritarian claims of "evidence" (where is it, show it and provided it for public scrutiny and audit then) and you weigh that "evidence" against arbitrary (yet comically inline with your own self-interest) measure against ambiguous rules. It's the authoritarians' playbook 101, regardless of whether the authoritarians are competent enough to recognize it, let alone self-are enough. (pro tip: you guys never are … never)

Just try to reflect on the authoritarian and supremacist mentality you have with language like "It isn't a good use of resources to patiently coax them to improve or even to reply to their posts at all"; yet your expend resources to censor and control and rule with an iron fist anything that is not to our liking.

No one is talking about obvious spam or any kind of illegal language like credible threats of violence or stalking or bulling, but if you were at least honest with yourself you would acknowledge that it has nothing at all to do with "good use of resource" and all to do with control. Because it is irrefutably true that if it were about "good use of resources" you would wholeheartedly avoid censorship of legal language and not violate what what has been deemed a human right, free speech.

You types, people with the authoritarian supremacist mentality you clearly have, are always quite to rationalize why it is fine that you be the arbiter of right and wrongthink, but it never avails you of the inherent evil exhibited by controlling speech and expression, no matter how much beneath you or inferior and unworthy you decree that speech to be.
Some are not just to mom, or dad, or from your two wise daughters. One dedication in particular is my favorite, because it ties the author to the story.

The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint−Exupery

> I ask the indulgence of the children who may read this book for dedicating it to a grown−up. I have a serious reason: he is the best friend I have in the world. I have another reason: this grown−up understands everything, even books about children. I have a third reason: he lives in France where he is hungry and cold. He needs cheering up. If all these reasons are not enough, I will dedicate the book to the child from whom this grown−up grew. All grown−ups were once children−− although few of them remember it. And so I correct my dedication:

I have been in desktop and mobile dev my entire career. Starting doing web dev 12 months ago for a new job. Never once have I thought to myself "I should figure out what float does".

Grid + Flex + Block + Absolute covers all layout needs. It's funny to me because conceptually these ideas have been around on desktop/mobile layout systems forever. That they are only now making it to the web is insane.
The value proposition is to be a deterrent, I’d say they have performed really well in that regard, no need for frustration.
It would be a better comparison if both systems were on equal footing. In this demonstration the Xubuntu system has swap enabled and the Lubuntu system doesn't.

A day of reckoning is coming for these organizations because the sick and suffering are getting fed up with being treated like a product.
> But if properly diluted

That's the key phrase here. Obviously, if you dump it back into the ocean such that it actually does not impact local salinity levels, its fine. But that's also true for essentially anything dumped into the ocean - if you can manage the dumping of a toxic chemical such that it has no impact, wouldn't it also be fine?

I've struggled through doxygen generated docs for C++ before, and I think one of the things that helps make javadoc more readable is due to the "stricter" (in a sense) structuring of the java language vs C++: namespaces & objects everywhere make grouping more likely to occur in consistent ways in the code base, which then gets translated to more readable auto-generated documentation.

This is something I think rustdoc (for rust) also has succeeded at, partially for similar reasons.

I've had a couple of pretty good bosses over the years. I'm not sure what it says about me but I'm about 50:50 for managers versus developers among the group of people I'd list as mentors.

The good ones either could do, or at least verbalize how they wished their bosses would do, some pretty effective delegation by... well... leading.

There are ways to communicate the overall picture and the goals of a project so that people generally know what is expected of them, and feel empowered to go and tackle individual problems that lie in the way. Even if they don't act, it's no surprise to them when their performance review is bad because they knew what everyone was doing and they chose not to participate.

Nobody is being micromanaged, nobody is working on 'pointless' stuff. Everybody can and most people do step up.

There's a weird bit of human psychology that can be used cynically (as by con men and serial killers), but it doesn't have to be: If you trust people, they are inclined to trust you. I think that may be part of the dynamic that goes on in these situations. Here's my dream, I'm sharing it with you, let's go do it.

I wonder if we should be focusing a lot harder on communication skills and leadership training. Because if you can wind up that toy and walk away from it, do you really need to be working 70 hours a week? Or do you have people for that?

Except Cambridge Analytica occurred in a closed-access scenario. It's a problem either way.
No citation, but from what I've heard in previous discussions heat and membranes need about the same energy input. With heat you use the steam in heat exchangers so you recover most of your input heat and only need to add more to make up for inefficiencies (the system of course is never 100% efficient). With membranes you need to supply power to the pumps to keep the membranes at the correct pressure differential.

The above assumes engineering went into designing an efficient system. Pumps are easier to make efficient, but at scale they are not necessarily better.
In B2B the rules are bit different at least with GDPR. Direct sales / marketing via email is possible without any consent or previous relationship. It has to be targeted to the right person in the company (the person who makes decisions about buying whatever you're selling).

Yes, this is what used to exist, and this is what Cambridge Analytica exploited. The level of access I'm talking about, and what people in this thread are advocating for, is allowing a third party app to see all info an authenticated user is authorized to see (including their friend's info).
We do need Health Care reform, but I'm not convinced single payer government is going to lead to better outcomes.

> No, we need to get rid of private insurance with Medicare for All.

That would shift the incentivization from maximizing profits, to instead solely minimizing tax payer dollars.

Lobbying would still exist (see defense industry).

Denying care wouldn't be based on health reasons (dubious), but shift to class based reasons (see welfare).

And, our healthcare will instead be subject to the whims of the politics, rather than the profits for Shareholders.

Medicare works because it's beneficiaries are a strong voting block. There are population segments in America who aren't.
Yes. Medicare for All is different from Medicare and gets rid of the hollowing out of traditional Medicare services through these side channel attacks on it.

From the abstract:

This study’s findings suggest that skin markings significantly interfered with the CNN’s correct diagnosis of nevi by increasing the melanoma probability scores and consequently the false-positive rate. A predominance of skin markings in melanoma training images may have induced the CNN’s association of markings with a melanoma diagnosis. Accordingly, these findings suggest that skin markings should be avoided in dermoscopic images intended for analysis by a CNN.
When you are operating at any kind of scale you need the Telsa packaging (airflow, connectors, power) and testing (running many in a system). The consumer desktop cards cause lots of trouble.

Also the consumer cards have artificially small memory sizes (e.g. 11GB max) which painfully constrains DL jobs.

No manufacturer is allowed to build Tesla-like cards. Theoretically AMD could crush the nVidia profit margins by releasing cheap data center boards, but their developer support is rubbish and they want that high margin cash too.

I suspect the specific implementation here uses "carrier-phase RTK" which means the recievers are locking into the pure sinusoid of the carrier frequency to get sub-centimeter positioning accuracy.

Thank you. It's a relief to see someone else finally saying the same things I have ever since Australis was teased. We need more clear voices saying this.
> We can and must design the next round of insurance reforms with patients as a priority. With low deductibles that actually facilitate the consumption of care, our health care system can directly benefit the well-being of low- and middle-income people—not just the holders of for-profit hospital stock.

We have this already to an extent with managed care. The old system of fee for service incentivizes healthcare providers to treat the symptom and not the root cause. As of 2016 over 80% of Medicaid and Medicare patients patients are on a form of managed care plan instead of a fee for service. And Medicaid and Medicare are responsible for about 40% of Americans. Additionally there are systems like Kaiser that have similar incentives in the private market.
