One of our philosophies is that we don't enforce our own beliefs about what's healthy or not. What's healthy depends largely on the person (and everyone has different opinions), but we're there to help with portioning to make sure you're not eating too much or too little.

For a lifter trying to gain weight, a milkshake might be perfectly fine. For someone trying to lose, it's probably not the most satiating choice, but as long as it fits your targets, shouldn't throw you off your goals. For those people, you can hit the refresh button in the meal until you see something you're happy with.

Not to say there isn't room for improvement - we should probably remove things like milkshakes if your goal is to lose weight, or maybe limit them to marked cheat-days.
You're thinking of high functioning autistic people, which is understandable because
they're the only ones you are likely to meet - a severely autistic child might be non-verbal,

they stay home or institutionalized.

Also, the last time I checked tesseract liked stuff to be 200-300 dpi. (You don’t have to scan it at that resolution, but helps if you scale it up.)

Years ago, I dug up a couple of papers on the spine thing, but never got around to implementing it. I think you can estimate the curvature based on the shadow and dewarp.

I was just scanning some recipes to save typing, so it wasn’t really worth the efffort.
Never had an Apple product so no personal experience - colleague recently bought an Apple flagship phone (I think previous gen before current gen came). After few days he was hugely disappointed how little he can tweak the device. What is there works fine, but that can be also said about phones for 20% of the price. For him, there was nothing more that would justify the price.

When he sees how much horsepower I have with my Xiaomi mi 9 for 1/3rd of the price, he wants to cry. It makes better photos too. His biggest regret in electronics shopping so far.

That comparison must obviously disregard privacy concerns, but I find it foolish to expect any kind of privacy, on any phone, Apple included. Hence no critical, single point of failure apps there.
Legislating salary transparency would be quite awesome actually. And as others have pointed out, in some countries you can call tax office and ask how much another person has earned in the last year.

And I do believe that every company needs to get very transparent on how they decide the salary, when they pay someone differently. There should be a well-designed set of rules and processes to follow. This way, people who want to earn more, know exactly what to do and in which direction should they grow and develop. Also, if they think that this direction doesn’t align with their personal goals, they can make a better decision about joining another company, where interests will align better.
Were Internet Archive's snapshot accepted as an evidence in a legal procedure?
She was refering to both, she said they have similar problems with CDs and even stuff on hard disks, because often the used Video Codecs are hard to get running without the right knowledge and resources, especially because some of the non-consumer-codecs were often also proprietary and sort of made fore specific plattforms, but I don't know too much on that, so take this as speculation.
You can trivially prove bottom in Haskell. Something like Agda or Idris would indeed fit the bill better.

Anyway, I said that this specific issue would not occur in a language with dependent types -- where incorrect code would cause the implementation to crash. Not that it is impossible to have a buggy compiler that at certain cases produces segfaults.

Chances are you aren't going to create anything GOOG is interested in anyway.

Just don't attach your name to anything you create and don't mention your projects/businesses to co workers. Don't visit them on company devices or company wi-fi. If you want set everything up in your wife's name. You can start out with a sole proprietorship, you can get an EIN number so you don't have to use your social. Setup an LLC when you get traction on something.

You should be fine, it's a long road to making something profitable enough to leave your GOOG job though.

The article is pretty great. Most tutorials I've found online working with OCR basically run you through the installation process and a basic few CLI commands or an introduction to their C++ API. This one takes you through some interesting details like the bounding box info, template matching bits and playing around with the config. The training process for tesseract, though not included in this seems like a task.
The point of law is not to force backdoors but to counter monopolies.

Google devices come with Google maps, search and so on. When people get new devices, often they will stick to whatever is pre-installed.

Russia is probably on of the few countries that has perfectly capable alternatives, like Yabdex.
So now people will have an option to choose what to use - Google, Apple or yandex apps.

Obviously owners of the platforms (apple and Google monopolies) are not to happy to lose control.

That of course does not mean that Russian government won't try to force some fishy stuff on devices.
Ukraine is completely separate and orthogonal issue.

Device management apps are given access to (almost) everything by the operating system by design. Further, it seems Russia wants the same unrestricted access to iCloud data that China got. Apple has already set a precedent with China, so expect more of this.
In case it's not clear, Tesseract is developed by Google since 2006, having been started at HP in 1985 and open-sourced by HP in 2005. [1]

As far as I know, it powers all OCR at Google (e.g. in Keep, Docs, etc.).

This (Tesseract.js) is a WASM port of the project by a separate group of people.

I investigated using this port a couple years ago, but as you can see from the demo, it's fairly slow to initialize and run, so I never found a practical use for OCR client-side rather than server-side, but I still think it's tremendously cool.

In case anyone's interested (shameless plug), because I do a lot of academic research that involves tons of copying from webpages, PDF's and screenshots and pasting into notes documents, I created a tool at https://pastemagic.com that helps selectively remove rich text formatting, remove line breaks and does OCR on screenshots and camera photos. Setting up Tesseract on my server and creating a simple HTTP endpoint for it took less than an hour, and for free I had OCR as powerful as Google's. Pretty cool I thought.

As much as I can, trying to make each of the following goals and being honest with myself that I will fail occasionally, but won’t have to give up everything if I do.

Walking over lunch hour and then eating at my desk. Tracking steps and striving to break 10k daily. Small sugar/junk food snacks less than 1x weekly. Cut down on alcohol. No eating after 7 pm. Get 10 hours of sleep every night. Drink lots of water. Apples and almonds for snacks. Have a scale and track your weight.

Like learning to play music, keeping your weight down is an investment in your future happiness.

If we were not on an anonymous website, we would probably not start the conversation with “I disagree.”.

Most probably you would start with, “Yes, but...” or “I agree, but ...” or “That's true to some extent, but in addition to that ...”.
And yet it's still important to not misstate facts regardless of whether or not they are relevant, because other people will take those supposed facts and apply them in other ways then you did.

Not just fuel for their logistics, but also selling gasoline in their Wal-Mart brand gas stations near their stores, Neighborhood markets, and Sam's Club. They ditched Murphy USA a few years back for much of this fuel and began sourcing it themselves. It's a way to ensure those prices are the lowest they can reasonably offer and still turn a profit.
>The terminal is extremely slow most of the time and constantly crashes

Ok your comment is mindboggling to me. Having used Bloomberg for nearly 10 years, not only for the front-end but the back-end API I can tell you it is the most stable piece of software I've ever seen. Not once, not one single time has it crashed in those 10+ years for us. The API is even more impressive- to my knowledge we never even experience a single missed query or randomly dead data stream over all those years.

The terminal is expensive as hell, but they deliver on the cost.

Also just by the fact of how it's used, saying it constantly crashes and assuming it's just like that and traders are ok with that all day long? Whatever experience you seem to have must be an extreme outlier.

>It’s basically a giant piece of legacy code.

Eh I think that's silly. You even say it's designed for the power users, which is absolutly right. That's the only reason you think it's legacy. Are you telling me everything behind and their back-end is not extremely advanced? It has to be to support the amount of data that is flowing through them at every second in data that HAS to be fast & accurate.

Your status page still shows the outage as having been "less than 15 minutes," but it was close to 90 minutes. Will you be updating that to reflect reality?
Seems kinda like a side topic but honestly I don't think of "I disagree" as that different from any of those other statements.
Again fully agreed, thank you.

What do you think would be reasonable price for perpetual license?
One amendment: 20k means dollars per basis point, rather than dollars of notional. That is, enough notional that a 0.01% change in interest rates would cause a $20 000 change in the net present value of the instrument. Traders often think in these terms because it makes it much easier to compare across different instruments.

Also, if you tried to trade 20k dollars notional, dealers would tell you to get lost, because an amount that tiny isn't worth their time.
Once you create a basic account you can customize the food preferences however you like. The preset diet options simply pre-select some food exclusions for you, but you can select "anything" and create your own set of exclusions from scratch.

As a forewarning, keto + vegetarian or vegan is one of the tougher things for our algorithms to do well. Maybe we're missing some critical recipes that keto vegetarians use, but it eliminates something like 90% of our available recipes.
The reason I posted this is that they've just released v2.0. This isn't highlighted on the homepage, but I assume it has some significance to the project overall.

The problem domain for Jesus teachings is ethical action and how to encourage it.

It has been applied to each of the forms of Christianity as well as in many secular societies that eschew the religious components.

You could apply it to a school or business if you wished, or a family or yourself.

The various Christianitys just like the Buddhisms incorporate many of the beliefs and customs that existed before Christ and the Buddha’s teachings respectively were incorporated.
exactly that. i have lived in germany for years. this is the first time i hear that they are all small businesses with 3-20 cars. all taxis have the same color, and prices are fixed.

it looks more like a franchise than competing businesses.

i don't think a business should be allowed to offer services below cost, nor should it be allowed to break the law, but on the other hand, the restrictions that exist in some places make no sense. a rental car has to return to the main office after each ride ??? what kind of nonsense is that?

There should be all sorts of options. I don’t eat fish so that basically puts me in the vegetarian or vegan categories even though I’m neither.

Some complaints about the linux packaging:

The website mentions a license, but doesn't appear to provide a link to one, and my .deb download didn't come with a license either.

You're redistributing Oracle Java for some reason? Might want to just mark that as a dependency, and I hope you have a license for that.

You have two copies of libEGL.so for some reason.

Sometimes the directory is BugJail and sometimes it's bugjail.

I don't use a distro that takes rpm or deb packages, maybe there could be a .tar.gz download for us?
How are those technical impossibilities? They're all essentially what Snowden says the NSA has been doing. It's a perfectly logical concern of a country demanding apps to be installed. Hell, it's been a problem with the Facebook app getting information people didn't realize it was capable of collecting.
Misleading, clickbait title. It sound like they disabled its usage in the app and there is now a backlash.

In reality, they had added a Santa hat to the UI in an update (see screenshot[1]). There doesn't seem to be much of a backlash to the removal anywhere except from a few dozen users.

It's totally reasonable to expect applications from international corporations exclude religious symbols. I doubt this conversation would have the same tone if it were Muslim symbols that they'd pushed to users instead of Santa.

One person's harmless, fun religious symbol is another person's reminder of death or oppression. Regardless, it's not necessary or appropriate to inject into an app that many people must use for work.

It's only technically impossible if the system software and/or hardware can't be compromised/exploited.

If you are just going by the intent and marketing of any platform vendor, plenty of things are technically impossible. But exploits and flaws in software and hardware exist, and the resources a nation state can bring to bear to find and use them are significant.

There is a reason vendors run bug bounty programmes, why the jailbreak scene is still a thing, and cybercrime in general is booming.

No one vendor has solved computer security.
I can’t remember where I read this but someone put this forth as a motivation behind the “obviously” fake nature of SPAM: an early filter for people who would call it out. Seems like a plausible theory.
Indeed, I've also puzzled over this a fair bit. Its almost as if we are lacking a lower-level interface to the transaction log that enables one to push events without going via the higher-level representation of tables etc. However, the implementation details are somewhat beyond me :-) Postgres' Bottled Water [1] was what made me think about this. I mean, why bother with exporting to Kafka at all, and instead just use the Postgres transaction log directly?

How Do Patent Incentives Affect University Researchers?
Running it on a timer actually works quite well. I don't know how this particular system actually works, but for example the Saturn V launch vehicle handled the initial navigation for several minutes from takeoff by executing previously calculated commands based on launch time, weather conditions etc.

Also, if I have understood things correctly, the lunar lander used a timer based approach to keep the rotation of the vehicle aligned with the surface of the moon as it orbited.

Since the orbital dynamics are very well understood and there really isn't anything that can affect the motion of the spacecraft other than engine burns, there doesn't seem to be any good reason to make it more complicated.
Awesome answer. Thank you for being so thorough and plain-spoken. This is a rare skill.
You already know the answer to that question. It's just how it is.

Tangentially, I've always been fascinated by anti-consumerist lifestyle design, and a little envious of people who have that natural earthy style to them, who appear cool without a lot of effort.

Then I read an article about Instagram influencers in some surfing town in Australia and saw how much their "anti-consumerist" lifestyle cost: long story short, looking poor is extremely expensive and it turns out they were married to corporate VPs who were able to work remotely and fund that kind of lifestyle.

It actually made me feel much better about my life. Now I'm convinced that actual anti-consumerism is frumpy, and I'm happy with that.
Majority no longer pick up because "Strangers on the phone are just trying to take advantage of us". The people that do pick up are probably the least alienated.
> There is no reason anyone would have any incentive to do anything other than vote for their preferred value.

I think people would quickly come to see voting for their preferred value as wasting their vote, as is often the case with presidential elections. Good point about median vs average, I missed that. But there would be benefit in converging the votes on popular numbers to make them the median. E.g. if I want 70 but think the contest will come down to 72 vs 76, it may make perfect sense to change my vote to 72.
‘grab-bag’ hacking attack drops six different types of malware in one go
When the sanctions came out, I was surprised that Apple and Google DIDNT go nuclear. It seems pretty obvious that the nation of China won't just voluntarily give up all it's western smart phones. So the only other medium term alternative would be to begin work on a domestic OS. Apple and Google (and the US economy and tech sector by extension) are the big losers from that, China the big gainer.

It's not quite Tin Foil Hat time, but I also wondered: if the chinese government had tried to ban foreign OSs and force a homegrown equivalent it would have been resisted at home and abroad it would have spurred (real) sanctions and possibly upset the (lucrative, strategically valuable) hardware supply chain.

Trump doing it was a great way for the Chinese government to get what it wanted without looking like the bad guy (it might even be able to play the victim, especially at home).

Given the predictability of these outcomes, one has to wonder: was Trump incompetent (he expected a different outcome) or was he serving a different agenda (maybe a trump hotel in Beijing is about to be approved?).
