Uncanny Valley has only been proven on 2d to my knowledge.

It has no relevancy to real life (Outside of watching TV)

They took a robot famous for being in the Uncanny Valley to an old age home and the residents loved it.

It could be possible we don't have the tech yet to produce a 3D object in the Uncanny Valley, but even when you see artistic work by artists like Ron Mueck you'll notice in real life there is no Uncanny Valley

In both cases they’d have to bet on growing the Free Software pie. It would be the beginning of transitioning the company to trying to support the Open Web as an institution, supporting open source webservice developers on an equal tier with open source browser users.

No idea if that pie can realistically grown. But unlike their current strategy, it would be in line with their mission statement.
That’s the point though, to take on something with real cost (and real value), occupy the Open Source segment of that market, and then grow that segment.

People with HBO have disposable incomes. People watching Nick or Disney channel are or have children, whose ages and genders can be further refined based on the shows in question. "You have a 8-11 year old daughter" is absolutely trivial to accurately glean from television, and is basically the single most valuable advertising demographic.

I used to work in a call center doing analytics/development work and I found that loud noise wasn't the issue but rather hearing dozens of conversations at the same time, each with their own rhythm and pitch. It sounded like literal cacophony to my ears.

I would put on noise cancelling head phones and blast music which helped, but headphones can be uncomfortable and more often than not, you want to be able to think in a quiet environment.

After everyone left, I would be massively productive in complete silence.

However, when I was later moved to a quieter area, what would be massively distracting was the sound of people walking by lightly breaking the silence. The only way I could avoid being distracted by these events was to put on headphones and blast music.
With Robinhood, I understand cash is SIPC insured once it hits their systems, and then it is a couple of days until it is deposited in underlying accounts at their program banks, where it is FDIC insured. So it's something to consider when moving large amounts of money.

Another thing is that these neobanks have withdrawal amount limits and ATM limits, and so they aren't a great choice for storing emergency funds.

This is the first I've heard of it. So I can't say much about the project itself. However, by the look of it DeskGap is at least taking the right approach, where as most these other projects (there seems to be a new one every week) miss the mark.

Electron Pros:

1. Consistent JS runtime/API

Electron Cons:

2. Huge distributions (bundling a full browser)

3. No re-use of components (every app is huge)

Electron Pro?/Con?:

4. Consistent rendering / WebKit monoculture

By the look of it DeskGap keeps Electron's biggest pro and solves its two biggest cons. The only "issue" is that there may be rendering inconsistencies. However, given we want to avoid a WebKit monoculture, I see this as a pro more-so than a con.

With that being said Microsoft have themselves migrated to WebKit; so the WebKit monoculture looks likely regardless. For consistency I guess that's even another tick in DeskGap's corner, although it'd be nice if on Linux (for example) it could use Firefox when present.

Carlo is interesting for a similar reason, but perpetuates the WebKit monoculture.
I think these are good on-point suggestions, all of which I'm doing to some extent. Outright blame is tough to control. I'm trying to continually remind myself that those are my opinions of their behaviour, and they just are habituated to that for whatever reason. I can't assume that, particularly in an ethnically diverse office, everyone would have an identical institutionalized definition of polite. Also that my experience of it is rational, in so much as something uncontrollable couldn't be irrational, and that's just better to find a way to work with or around.

Thankfully, this is a relatively small and flat org that somewhat embraces autonomy. I personally take as many breaks as I can or want because it's still part of work. Likewise working out of a coffee shop is something I'm very comfortable with, so I've started doing that as well. Working from home is less common here, so that'll be a discussion I think.

Also thanks for not mentioning whatever the other one was. The sounds I'm fully stressed about are the ones I mentioned, but others are just revolting in a vaccuum. Like farts, audible burps, coughing without covering.

The article offers several explanations. Let me offer you another: Upon perceiving a face, the brain reads its visual cues to determine its bearer's intentions. The uncanny valley occurs when we fail to determine a perceived individual's intent due to conflicting visual cues.

Noise likely disturbs gifted and creative individuals more than others, according to research on overexcitability.

“Overexcitabilities are inborn intensities indicating a heightened ability to respond to stimuli. Found to a greater degree in creative and gifted individuals, overexcitabilities are expressed in increased sensitivity, awareness, and intensity, and represent a real difference in the fabric of life and quality of experience. Dabrowski identified five areas of intensity-Psychomotor, Sensual, Intellectual, Imaginational, and Emotional. A person may possess one or more of these.”

EKS has certainly been lagging behind GKE for a long time. I think that this release acknowledges that and closes the gap somewhat.

To address your other comments:
* EKS has automatic updates on the roadmap, which I imagine is similar to release channels on GKE.
* GKE Limits. Yes, they are much larger than EKS, which I guess matters a lot if you have a requirement to scale horizontally to thousands of nodes.
* eksctl isn't necessary to use EKS, but they do encourage it. I personally use Terraform and kubectl. It's essentially a wrapper over the AWS CLI. For GKE you would use the gcloud tool. For EKS you can use the AWS CLI or eksctl. It is an open-source tool built by Weaveworks btw: https://eksctl.io/

Natural gas is ban so now they have to use coal.

That's a weird logic statement.

Coal is an option out of many options out there. Why are you so sure those new constructions in Berkeley will be using coal?

Do you have any source of that? From my experiences, Northern California is very environmentally conscious so I don't think they'll ban natural gas just to replace it with coal.

I had a real-life experience with this phenomenon recently, when I got a robocall made by an interactive voice responder. The dialog at first sounded almost human, but there was something that was just a bit off with the responses not quite matching my questions.

Typically I like to play around with telemarketers, keeping them on the line for a while, asking dumb questions etc. instead of just hanging up on them -- especially if it sounds like a scam to begin with. But in this case it was either a well done chat bot that I was talking to, or now that I think of it (more likely) someone had a bunch of pre-recorded phrases that they would choose as responses (I can see this being done by an offshore telemarketing pit).
> Lines of code or configuration so far: zero.
Yes. But by not having configuration, it delegates the configuration to the webserver. Which means that it(and even the language itself!) will exhibit surprising behavior (and even security vulnerabilities) if you deploy somewhere else.

Sometimes, having to be explicit about config pays off.
Using both at once is effective. My brother, a naval flight officer, swears by a combination of passive isolation and active noise cancellation. Personally I just use passive, but I have much less noise to contend with than him.
I wonder what would happen if we went to companies who use MIT licensed code in proprietary software and asked if they believe in true freedom. How many would relicense their products to MIT. If they believe in freedom then they should not say no.

If just everyone would choose freedom and only use MIT then I too would be in the MIT camp. Sadly there are people who do not believe in freedom and would sue those that simply want to share with each other. As the song goes, not even 7 years old girls can be safe against the wrath of those who think culture and knowledge is an object to be owned. Against those people, and only against those people, I say we should not give the freedom for which they wish to deprive others. My work is reserved to those who believe in true freedom.

Yes, this is not what FCC means by interference, and no Part 15 regulation is violated here. But there's no need to downvote. If we review the terms of Part 15,

> (1) This device may not cause harmful interference

> (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

You'll see it's actually a general, universal principle of good communication, and applies to many cases other than RF spectrum. Internet pioneer Jon Postel once said TCP implementations should follow a general principle of robustness:

> (1) Be conservative in what you send

> (2) Be liberal in what you accept.

It's almost identical to the principles of Part 15.

A few years ago, when the Mirai botnet launched its massive DDoS attack, a HN user used Part 15 as an analogy of the future directions of IoT's security model. And in this example of protocol conflict between Pokemon and Roku, it also applies.
> But I'm not hallucinating and I'm not dreaming either.

You've never been unsure if something actually happened for a moment? Because even if you only spend a few moments like that per month, we can assign it a probability.

> I mean, if you take what you are saying here at face value I actually have to assume that there is a probability that there exists a Seventh Dimension with magikcally powerful Operators inhabiting it. In real life, not just in the context of Pascal's Wager. Because I can't assign zero probability to anything.

You don't think there's any chance that you fundamentally misunderstand the universe and that there are powerful secrets being actively hidden from you? It doesn't have to be real 'magic', just something too beyond your understanding. I think there's some chance of that. I'd say less than 1% and more than 1 in a googolplex, to put some amusingly loose bounds on it. And then you have to factor in the chance the guy picks you in particular to mess with, but that's not an unreasonably large number.

> Apologies. I didn't understand what you meant with that and I didn't want to clutter the comment space with more clarifying questions.

You're objecting so specifically to the seventh dimension stuff, I thought it would be simpler to cut all that out. The point of the thought experiment is just a very likely but very positive act. And the way to have a productive conversation is to respond to the strongest form of the argument. So in that version, you can't just declare that the person in front of you isn't a rich guy screwing around and giving money to people that accept, because the probability of that is clearly not zero.

I was a happy licensed user for the Java project I was working on, but had to stop using Sourcetrail when I switched jobs and started with .NET and TypeScript. So I’ve been working to create indexers against their open source SDK in the last few weeks. That the project is now open source means it’s making my spare-time effort of writing an indexer that much easier, and I personally look forward to contributing more to the project. I think graph visualization of source code has a bright future ahead of it, and there’s plenty of opportunity to crowdsource improvements to Sourcetrail that will benefit even more developers. This seems like a smart move... if they can financially support themselves at an open source initiative like this.

If anyone wants to pitch in on the TypeScript indexer, I’ve an SourcetrailDB SDK diagram I put together at https://github.com/LouisStAmour/SourcetrailTypescriptIndexer... and a thread with ongoing notes and Node.js bindings at https://github.com/CoatiSoftware/SourcetrailDB/issues/2#issu...

Do I somehow slip under all the banking laws? Just as an "experiment?" Is this something that I could do? OR is it just a crazy idea?
The awful thing about Canada is that the personal income tax rate is relatively steep, but corporate taxes are among the lowest in the G7.

I have a theory about the uncanny valley.

I think somehow our body is pre-wired for some smells.

Healthy food is nutritious, so it smells good.

In the same way our body knows "dead person" is a very terrible smell, even if we have never encountered it in our life.

Maybe the uncanny valley is the same thing for vision -- we are wired to be wary of sick or dead people, who look "off" because of an expression, their posture, skin color, etc.

Just a theory.
An imagined perception is a perception that depends on the perceiver making some effort to suppose that something is true. It could be a daydream, or it could be when you watch a fictional film, which requires you to imagine that it is real, even though you know that actually it is not real. Real perception is when you are perceiving something that you know is real.

The general principle of a tax which can be levied fairly, equally, clearly, and with low costs of collection or effort, are not new:

The tax which each individual is bound to pay ought to be certain, and not arbitrary. The time of payment, the manner of payment, the quantity to be paid, ought all to be clear and plain to the contributor, and to every other person. Where it is otherwise, every person subject to the tax is put more or less in the power of the tax-gathered, who can either aggravate the tax upon any obnoxious contributor, or extort, by the terror of such aggravation, some present or perquisite to himself. The uncertainty of taxation encourages the insolence and favours the corruption of an order of men who are naturally unpopular, even where they are neither insolent nor corrupt. The certainty of what each individual ought to pay is, in taxation, a matter of so great importance that a very considerable degree of inequality, it appears, I believe, from the experience of all nations, is not near so great an evil as a very small degree of uncertainty.

I want to know why we can't even seem to build the few (2-3) which have started construction, but the projects are so massive that they constantly run over budget and behind timelines[1]. Until we fix that issue, I don't want the precious resources of PG&E's corpse to make risky bets on massive nuclear infra projects. It just seems like throwing lots of money at contractors who no longer know how to make massive projects on time or built to architectural spec.

I would, however, like to see a lot more R&D on small, lower-temperature reactors, possibly ones that reuse spent fuel rods from larger traditional nuclear power reactors.
