I agree, but this is what seems so interesting about the Epstein case. In the age of #MeToo, you would think this story would be getting 24x7 media coverage, especially with Prince Andrew's "interesting" interview the other day - a fairly big deal one would think, but I saw no mention of it on the first 3 pages of /r/all. Yet, there seems to be something about the story that severely psychologically disinterests people, and not just the average person, but relatively smart people as well.
Wow... literally dying of a broken heart. :(
The point was to reimplement a browser. Imagine you want to make an ebook reader,this device needs not to eat too much batteries so you want to implement a basic css and html renderer not to re-skin Chrome.

Some ebook publishing platforms will perform checks and reject your epub(mobi or similar format) if is not respecting some strict rules, this makes it a pain if you have random html that works on web but you want to package it as epub because now you need to find all the bugs(or similar stupid DOM elements) and fix them as best you can.
Thanks for this; it'll keep my cookie-consent-, overlay-, and dickbar-blocking filters company.
Next time someone tells me "Why would you need encryption if you have nothing to hide?" I'mma just answer with "Why do you need clothes then?"
Increasing the diameter proportionally increases the exit pathway through which you can shift earth out of the tunnel. Obviously there are complexities in the field that I'm not aware of but these seem like problems you can engineer around.

It's really surprising to me that in 2019 the limiting factor in a billion/trillion dollars industry like transit is something that could be solved with a better conveyer belt.

To ask OP's question another way: many areas of technology and engineering have improved rapidly over the last decade or three. Have TBMs been keeping up?

This is why Tor and onionland is a lawless wild west. All so that journalists can report and trade documents, and so that repressive regimes can't easily censor access to news and information. This is the cost of encryption: you get all sorts of scoundrels in the mix in the name of privacy and security for the masses. Some might say this cost is too high: that scoundrels are running rampant and won't stop their criminal actions. But without this we get a broken backdoored Internet where no such privacy/security exists and could actually cause more damage to society since spying would be rampant.
I think the tests provide an objective measure of color blindness (or maybe better described as color acuity.) I was more interested in the subjective experience. How can someone know what they're missing if they have never experienced it.
In the Search of Purpose
Banning encryption is like requiring that all your walls be made of glass and that the police can search your home at any time, for any reason, without warrant.

A personal electronic device, and the connections made with it, are extensions of the person and their respective home. A literal ban on encryption is probably the single largest step any government could take towards becoming a dystopic, tyrannic, borderline-criminal entity.

Well, people want slimmer and smaller products. There is more room for creativity in a large, bulky form factor than in a small enclosure sized to barely fit the components. Boom boxes were very heavy and bulky; today's consumers want svelte designs that fit easily in one's pocket.

I no longer think that bike lanes will get the job done.

Long ago, when I was working in western Tennessee, I noticed that, in that area, the painted bike lanes were almost always on arterial roads. I even found one that was on a stretch of controlled access highway. Asked a colleague who worked for TDOT about that, and it turns out that you could get extra federal money for roads with bike lanes. So of course, the counties would put the bike lanes on the roads that cost the most to maintain, not the ones that made sense for bicycles.

Outside of a few major cities, I suspect that's invariably how bike lanes are going to end up working in the US.

What you could get people on board behind, though, is traffic calming measures. Bill it as fighting back against the hordes of Waze drivers blasting through your neighborhood as a shortcut, and you might be able to get some political momentum behind it. That would then get you to roads that could support mixed traffic without half-assing it by painting cyclists into a thin ghetto full of potholes and broken glass.

And then pair it with movements to get some questions about how to share the road with bicyclists onto the written driving test, so that drivers at least know how to share the road with cyclists. Right now, nobody's telling them, so they genuinely don't know. Even here in Chicago, I've had surprisingly many water cooler conversations where I had to correct a complaining car commuter who thought that it was illegal for all these bikes to be in the road and that they're supposed to stay on the sidewalk.
It's too complicated. The complexity in the code leads to more opportunities for bugs and exploits and more maintenance cost. Also it breaks the isolation model since you can do all sorts of crazy exploits just with HTML and CSS (animation event listeners for XSS etc).

I investigated this path after PoCing the original (you can see the code in a directory plugins/appminifier and public/voodoo/src/plugins/appminifer, I think) but there's all sorts of interaction issues that arise when you attempt to filter the HTML in this way.

Efficient in terms of what? Bandwidth, from a certain point of view but you lose the "source of absolute truth" that a screenshot is, and at the cost of interaction quirks. Also, not necessarily CPU efficient, as you have to do a lot of bookkeeping to transmit events to the right places and keep the local tree in sync with the remote tree.

The main reason I avoided it was the security holes introduced by breaking the strict isolation model of pixels, and the complexity.

You're welcome to fork and improve on the work begun in appminifier! If you go down that path, just know, there be dragons, and good luck!
Personally I live hours away from the nearest town, use only my bicycle even when it's snowing, and I don't have any heating in the house. So I quite understand that not everyone have the same lifestyle as me :)

But you are right that there will not be a unique solution to the transportation problem. In warmer climate we already have (electric) cargo bikes that are nice for moving kids around in the city, but we'll need more innovation for colder climate and longer distances. And that was exactly my point.

Awful lot of assumptions derived from this vague line by the author. You say they're unlikely to donate to charity. Try asking why. I have a theory: they want to donate, but literally can't because they have no money! I'd change my mind if I see an opposing study with money as a control between generations.
Yeah but I don't have to opt into social media. And I can run my own OpenVPN tunnel on Digital Ocean or Linode or whatever.

gathered from the website and comments here:

horizontal: 40-50 degree viewing angle, with angular resolution of 45 steps. vertical is not paralax at all. recommended 1 - 30 ft viewing distance.

the 8k measurement is the total of all the display layers, so what you'll see is a fraction of 8k resolution. refresh rate: 60Hz.

i think all those measurements are true for all three display sizes manufactured by looking glass, except the smaller screens are 4k.

the blog also mentions "over a billion-count color gamut".
Also, for an airport you are looking at spending $30-50 just to get there in a taxi or Uber.
It is insane how we (as a society) have been so blind on this issue. In many countries, people have been debating why crime rates rose sharply from the 60's to the 90's. The explanation may have been simply that airborne lead particles caused brain damage in kids. In the 80's and 90'l leaded gasoline was phased out in most of the Western world so there is a clear temporal correlation between the crime wave and lead particles.

An euphemism for brain damage is "cognitive defects" but it is of course the same thing. Now imagine someone caused brain damage to your children (for example by causing a head trauma), would you be ok with that? Probably not. Not even a very small brain injury would be ok, but millions of cars doing the exact same thing, no problem!
Exactly, here in the Netherlands I know at least two bank support ApplePay and that works great. All the other banks are not supported because they don't want to make the effort.
Ok yeah, if you target web exclusively this will work. But if you target Android JSC runtime for example it won't, because you have no access to DOM.

When I said web I should really say javascript. If you replace it my point still stands.

Too late for an edit but I was going by what was shown in the video, which very much didn't look it could do that.

That said, that's still basically "3D but without glasses", not exactly the Holodeck "hard light" future tech many people think of when they hear "real hologram".
Is there any improvement that can be made? Every time some engineer comes up with an improvement that is one more improvement invented. There is only so much improvement possible.

Slow is not a problem. A few meters a day sounds slow, but if you are going long distances you can scale by buying more TBNs putting them in a line and having each meet up to the next. Assuming you have the money. In practice the cost to build a tunnel is high enough that you probably can't afford to scale up too much that way.
Yes, if this results in one of my banks/card issuers dropping Apple Pay in favor of their own app, I’m going to be switching banks/cards. I have zero patience for companies that try to corral me into whatever their custom solution is. They have to either work with the system standard stuff or lose my business entirely.
The entire point of this project is to bypass the browser rendering engine locally and risk exposing all of its bugs, zero days, vulnerabilities, tracking etc. If you would be just copying HTML, that would give a regular old proxy server. This project is about security, not just hiding the ip address.

> it would be far more efficient than sending back a pixel video stream

Yes it would also deliver back exactly all the vulnerabilities to you that this project was specifically made for protecting against... Are you sure you have read its description? The whole point is to do dumb pixels that can't be exploited.

The fact that the customer was buying 3d printed computer optimized parts in the first place probably indicates that "more advanced" was explained to them.

There are any number of reasons they might not have liked it. Maybe it looked odd because it didn't match the rest of the design. Maybe they were worried about their own customer (of the end product that the part goes into) thinking it didn't look sturdy enough.

If you're designing parts for a rocket then by all means worry about every ounce of weight, but for most stuff if the customer wants it to look less weird you can just make it look less weird. And then charge them for the extra material.
The author of the paper was active on reddit and he said the only way to explain this is that there were initially two stars orbiting in very close proximity and there could not have been any planets to begin with.
Thats true if we assume that every human want the same thing. But the reason there is bloody fight in the first place is not all human want the same thing. Is good for you if you are in the winning side, you certainly don't want to lose them but you can't say the same for the other side. They too want to be on the winning side.
> If infrastructure is really such a multiplier, people should be able pay for it from the multiples they earn, and the infrastructure owners will turn a profit.

Let's say a good quality rail link from Town X to some big center of employment has the following effects:

* Raises attorney Alice's salary from $150,000 to $175,000

* Raises barista Bob's salary from $23,000 to $28,000

* Raises retiree Clive's home price from $300,000 to $400,000 although he'll never set foot on a train himself.

* Allows business-owner Doris to fill a specialist job that previously she hadn't been able to fill, indirectly leading to a better product and improved sales in ways that are hard to quantify, but are probably several times that employee's salary.

Which of those should the rail link owners capture, and how would you propose they do so?

The challenge of for-profit infrastructure is, even if you choose ticket prices to capture 50% of Bob's benefit, you only capture 10% of Alice's benefit, and ~0% of Clive and Doris's benefits.
Shouldn't be a surprise, as private property (and keeping the government/all other parties out of it) is one of the fundamental tenets of the U.S. Constitution. And so a lot of people come with that mindset.

It's a double-edged sword, and while I agree with a lot of the points in the article (it's one of the primary reasons why Europe is unbelievably pleasant to visit), the US will never implement anything remotely close to free-to-roam (or whatever it's called in the UK, as an analog) policies. Too many private interests against it.
Here the market is "things that can be installed on iOS" or "NFC payment providers that can be installed on iOS", where I don't think you can deny Apple has 100% market dominance.

You could argue that the market should be "things that can be installed on smartphones" but that ignores that people with iPhones really need things that work on their devices. It's akin to saying that if one company had a monopoly on car tyres, it'd be okay because people could just replace their car and buy a tractor with tractor tyres instead.
AWS announces AMD Rome-powered c5a instances
One thing I’ve thought of is that instead of messages, each actor exports a list of functions that it provides. Then other actors can call these functions and everything looks synchronous but under the hood each actor is calling other actors functions transparently. This would eliminate message bloat (too many kinds of messages) and would end up looking kind of like OO. So instead of sending the message: Sum(x, y) and eventually getting the response: SumReturn(x), I could just do something like: actorA.sum(x, y) that would look and act like a regular function call. Then actorA could implement sum like:

def sum(x: DbInt, y: DbInt) = DbActor.get(x) + DbActor.get(y)

With Akka, none of this is possible. Once actorA received the Sum message, first it would have to send the Get messages to DbObject and update some record indicating I’m waiting for two Get responses while also saving who I’m supposed to send the data to. Then I need to have a big match statement and update the record whenever I get that specific response. Once I finally have received the two responses, I look up where to send my message, and then finally send my SumReturn() message.

It’s a total nightmare and it sucks big-time. A lot of Akka code just ends up being maintaining these large dictionaries keeping track of all the unfinished stuff I eventually need to send various actors when I finally receive all the ingredients.

And it starts to get really bad when you have hierarchical actor structure and one of the terminal actors needs some information held by the top nodes. Then I either need to forward the message up one by one maintaining state along the way, or find the parent of the parent of the parent and send the message directly. And if I do that, now my root actors are talking to everyone else, and the information partitioning advantages of the hierarchy are broken.

There’s one actor topology that really shines though: directed acyclic graphs. If I only send information one way, like a waterfall, actors work really really well. Great for bioinformatics or other ML/data science pipelines.
Integration and Monopoly
Thanks, this is my intention.

Hardware and electronics was an important area in computer engineering, and many early hackers were hardware hackers. Today, the field has shifted as software development at large, but hardware and electronics is still an indivisible part of the hacking community. It can be seen from the fact that EECS is still taught at schools, the fact that embedded electronics is having increased popularity due to IoT, and the renewed interests within free and open source community.

I'll keep submitting more hardware/electrical articles which I find interesting.

Courts are not our worry. Politicians making the laws are the problem. We need to focus on those passing these laws and make them fear any law limiting encryption. Encryption isn't even complicated math, and can be done with a deck of cards.

We need to emphasis there is no safe backdoor, and all politicians are doing is ensuring our money will be stolen and our pictures of our children will end up in the hands of perverts and freaks because of unencrypted data breaches. "Why do you want your constituents ripped off?" "Why do you want little Timmy's picture stolen by perverts?" Turn it around, make them the evil ones. The only real way to protect ourselves is to actually make this a voting issue and make the other side out to be the villain. Its been a while since politics was logical arguments and being a victim of these idiots is getting old.
The company I'm working for is in the food industry. We used to give away overproduction and returns (returned for "print on the packaging is not 100% on point" nothing wrong with the goods) to local kindergartens and schools and clubs and whoever asked for free.

We stopped that after people were complaining that their received goods did not have a good print or that the print somehow was "off-topic" or whatever.

Now everything that gets returned is going straight to the trash.

I believe the oldest exterior wall of the St. Louis Zoo (on the north side, along where the 1904 World's Fair bird cage was relocated) was modeled after this style. I think it's more than one brick thick, though, so it probably wasn't done that way to save on brick, just to echo the style.

I think the discussion is more focussing on is that 'flexibilty and convenience' from the car based on the fact we have designed and allocated our cities, suburbs and town in the way we have already.. Not so much, well this tool is right for the job, more a question of, did we make this job that requires a tool.
It's not precisely the same distinction, but this reminds me of a CS professor who talked about "blocking send" and "non-blocking send" message systems. He wasted no time in abbreviating them to "BS" and "non-BS".

It doesn't have to be that bad. Every organization has constraints - particularly people's time. If Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu come up with some new video codec and plan on releasing it in 12 months into their services, and I know 80% of my consumers use video streaming services, then I know that I should allocate most of my development resources / people towards enabling the new codec on GPU's my company sells.

Knowing how people use your products helps allocate new development features. This problem isn't unique to intel.

>The benefit of the Apple Wallet for customers is having all your cards in one app, available from the lock screen. The benefit to the bank is that they don't have to make an app, they just need the back-end integration with Apple Pay.

I don't understand this. If you can just add a credit card or a bank account via direct debit then why does Apple Pay require cooperation from banks at all? The primary reason why those banks want their own app is because Apple doesn't want to integrate them into Apple Pay.
