Definite and limited. Once you take the cover-up route, the potential cost escalates unpredictably, and there is nothing definite about the ultimate cost.

I found the most insightful idea in a comment at the very bottom: "A user’s perception of a product is what causes him to purchase it and influences his satisfaction with the product..."

If users prefer to use the keyboard, they're not as likely to enjoy (and use) your "mouse first" software.
Citymapper is really close to that at least in Europe.
I hear you. I am not a big fan of apps either - web is based on open standards and decentralized. But micropayments are a problem on the web. In-app purchases do work. Push notifications do matter. If you are right about the web, how do you explain the rise of apps? Gmail, Facebook, Instagram could easily be web-based but their app versions are far more popular. I think you raise a good point though. I am afraid I don't have all the answers but I do see some reasons as I mentioned earlier.
Yeah technically that is true but using the same logic you could say, "since no one is doing QA on swimming pool water I can fill my pool with used toilet water and not tell anyone."
> I believe it. Maybe not for that exact story

So you don't believe it, you believe another story. Bloomberg didn't say "this is possible" they said "this is happening and here are the exact details".
If that’s your worst contrived scenario then you’ve only convinced me that this is a good idea. All technology can be used for good and evil, things will get more extreme but continue towards net positive. Your evil scenario is outweighed by the global benefits of medical research.

Next time, just jump straight to saying [oppressive fascist superpower] and [minority ethnic group originating in and culturally affiliated with a small Middle Eastern nation]. We’re still more sensitive to that one.
Yes, but if you're concerned about buying a fake Sonos product, don't by from anyone other than the official 'Sonos' seller that's shipped and sold by Amazon.com.
"Fischer Random is an interesting format, but it has its drawbacks. In particular, the nontraditional starting positions make it difficult for many amateurs to enjoy the game until more familiar positions are achieved. The same is true for world-class players, as many have confessed to me privately. Finally, it also seems to lack an aesthetic quality found in traditional chess, which makes it less appealing for both players and viewers, even if it does occasionally result in an exciting game."

I'm an amateur who's a fan of the Fisher Random chess variant, and feel it is a tremendous improvement over the enormous amounts of opening memorization that is required in traditional chess, and which is yet another thing that gives computers (who have a perfect memory) an edge over humans.
>When I say how can you trust Google for your infrastructure seeing how they abandon projects, the usual response I get is that they would never do that with their “Enterprise” offerings.

And that's when I talk about Google Enterprise Search.
Last time I described it here on HN there was confusion.

It's just "single serving server salt" (try saying that fast 3 times) sent to "client for secret hashing" and then "sent back to server again", so it's insecure on registration (just like all security with MITM without common pre-shared secret) but after that it's pretty rock solid, even quantum safe. Requires two request/responses per auth. though.

This tech is nothing new and has been used by many big actors since forever. It's simpler that public/private encryption because it only requires hashing math to work.

It should be my choice to use whatever encryption I want without having google scare away my customers with "Not Secure".
Probably a lot to do with this. Incentives are probably the strongest driver of behavior in a company, much stronger than any stated strategy.

If people are richly rewarded for launching new products, they'll optimize their work for launching new products, even when that product doesn't make sense, or when more business value could be created by supporting/enhancing an existing product.

For another example, Microsoft's dysfunction and infighting in the Ballmer era can be tied to stack ranking. If your success depends on your peers doing worse than you, you're incentivized to not cooperate at best, snipe and sabotage at worst.

Google absolutely has to change their internal incentives if they want to sustain success into the future. In the case of GCP they're gonna have to start figuring out how they can shift their culture to wooing and keeping enterprise customers. This leak, their culture, and their history is gonna make that a tall order.
UPC wont do much. There's somewhat of a scam where sellers will reuse old discontinued products or buy upc codes from ebay in order to get around any filtering Amazon has.

Ideally Amazon should require the UPC to be fully registered and verified instead of just taking whatever a seller enters at face value.
Ehhhh........
It _works_, but the overwhelming consensus is that their software is a confusing-to-navigate buggy mess that has to stay running all the time, uses excessive CPU[0], and freaks out from time to time.

Intellij has an integrated "cmd + shft + a" shortcat like feature.

This is so helpful for commands that I use once or twice a month.

I could always learn their actual shortcut but it does not feel worth it.

When I want to capture a layout hierarchy, I just hit cmd + shft +a and type "lay".

I don't really care about doing this rare action a couple of seconds faster by learning/setting an actual shortcut for this.

Good point, for some it is like being forced to buy a two right shoes to fit upon your feet. Let alone the aspect of mouse size and the analogy gets down to shoes only available for right feet and then sizes 6 and 11 only.

With that in mind - how hard would it be to make a mouse which had a gel top that would mould to your hand. Could have a gel that is perhaps viscus when an electric current passed thru it and solid when not - allowing you to setup the mouse to fit your hand. As for buttons, well, that has been one of the easier ones to fix and about the only area you can customise a mouse (switch left and right mouse buttons) which is your standard OS configurable.

Though I'm not aware of any material that is viscous when a current is applied and solid when not - the other way around you have https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetorheological_fluid

That's simply because the press and academia in the USA are extremely biased towards one political side.

Most of the people who think the current political or social state of the USA is horrible have never opened a single book about asian, african or eastern europe policies.

While everyone is formatted to be shocked by what is going on in the USA, they refuse to even see that torture (including citizens) and hardcorde censorship is routine and legal in a lot of asian countries.

The Halting Problem Theorem is an intuitive way to prove inferential incompleteness for strongly-typed theories in which Gödel’s proposition I'mUnprovable does not exist.

Using Orders on propositions, the construction of Gödel’s proposition I'mUnprovable is blocked because the mapping Ψ↦⊬Ψ has no fixed point because ⊬Ψ has order one greater than the order of Ψ since Ψ is a propositional variable.

I don't think climate change denialists are the target audience for this, though.

I think this chart is extremely useful as a way to show people which approaches are more effective at mitigating temperature increase. For example, in my experience in this types of discussions, some people like to claim that "population control" should be a top priority. However, this page shows that the effect of it would actually be rather small compared to other approaches like carbon pricing or reducing methane emissions.
Blade Runner game re-released after 22 years
You're not wrong, but my overall point is that it seems like a lot of people in this thread are arguing against the prospect of moving to intolerant backwater villages, whereas most of the ones that Brookings listed are already hot secondary destinations. And many of them aren't even located in the Midwest! Guess IEEE was referring to basically everywhere not on the coast when they say "the Heartland".

I can argue in the same way in favor of Copenhagen. The math of Copenhagen is clearly defined, as the collapse of a wave function is the projection on eigenfunctions of the measuring device.
"Stable" does not need to be synonymous with "pegged". Have a look at feron.io - it is an algorithmic monetary policy design that “resist change” in its coin’s price irrespective of the absolute price level. As a result, it requires no exchange rate measurement. It imports no information onto the chain at all, and instead infers what is happening in the outside world from users' on-chain behaviour.

I spent a day at the Huaqiangbei market and honestly there's very little like it in the world. I didn't go in looking for anything in particular, but left with all sorts of tools and parts that I didn't even know I needed. A full USB power debugger with colour screen ($8), various LED module samples, a few Android tablets with a 9" screen, dual SIM and microSD ($30): my friend had his iPhone upgraded from 16GB to 128GB storage (a student literally desoldered the flash with a hot air gun, transferred it over in a BGA reader and soldered a new chip on, in under an hour)... as well as a whole number of little parts and cabling and components I didn't even know existed. Others have written more about it (https://shift.newco.co/2016/10/13/what-50-buys-you-at-huaqia... is the classic article) but if you're even faintly interested in electronics I'd wholeheartedly recommend it.
Why isn't Amateur Radio a key part of STEM? What do ALL of us have in our pocket that operates on radio (you might even be reading this comment on one)? How many modern homes don't have WiFi? What's the magic that allows smart-meters and wireless doorbells to work? Heck, what's the signaling mechanism on a WIRED communication? RF and radio is key to so much of modern life that unless your STEM program is geared toward training people to do basic research you're using RF in some capacity along the way.

And not only teach RF but then apply across other things like robotics and flying. One of the major public service aspects of Amateur Radio is emergency communication. Rather than humans trying to word-paint what's happening in a storm why not have a camera-equipped drone zoom out to a vantage point and shoot back HD imagery via 1.2GHz? How about weather stations communicating primarily via APRS instead of via WiFi directly?

So many possibilities... though without low-cost VHF/UHF SDR radios much of this will remain a dream.
Curl is suspicious, people might wonder what exactly its doing. Whereas nobody has the time to read and understand C/C++ code.
I recently bought some dry cat food from Amazon. One of my cats immediately got a massive skin infection that cost >$400 to cure. I can't prove it was from that but this is an indoor cat who has no real exposure to anything else that would have been different.

Needless to say, I totally agree with not buying anything that goes on or in a living thing.
It is not a safe assumption. A properly installed toilet may need a new float valve every few years, but these are simple to install.

How do you prevent the ISP from logging those requests to the root?
I agree with Drakonka that it's dystopian when being moderately assertive talking about labor rights is viewed as a reason to fire someone. Especially when these kinds of notifications have a history of being used to tamely spread information before ("Happy Birthday Sundar!" popping up when any employee visited google.com). Reminds me more of the rules for posting on a bulletin board.

Edit: "Happy Birthday Sundar!" didn't actually happen, my bad.

I'm not sure if you're serious. It's Trump and his administration. It's not even a question, from the perspective of this submission. He has made it 1) much harder to get work visas, like anyone hiring top international talent knows 2) has created an environment of increased xenophobia that has led to quantitative increases in hate crimes 3) generally behaves like a strong man which undermines faith (justifiably) in the stability of the country and economy. Just for instance today, among other things "Would be sooo great if the Fed would further lower interest rates and quantitative ease. The Dollar is very strong against other currencies and there is almost no inflation. This is the time to do it. Exports would zoom!" (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/12069553562802790...). People have short memories, but 3 years ago it would have been inconceivable that a president would post something that insane on multiple levels on social media. Our problems attracting international talent in all areas are increasing, self-inflicted, and justified.

edit: I'm sorry we can't discuss this maturely. But it's the elephant in the room.
It’s amazing that you think that anecdote is okay or even welcomed....
If you're in the US, read your ISP's privacy policy sometime: part of their business model involves selling the data about the sites you visit.
That is why you need two maps: a geographical map with station locations marked to see which stations are close and the structural map of the routes to determine how to get to the target station you picked in step 1.
And if the outcome of a trial produces otherwise, would you be willing to retract such baseless claims?
> in a given city/geography

When a city is more hospitable to the homeless, it attracts more homeless. The homeless problem in California's major cities is in part due to their their (relatively) accommodating treatment of the homeless.

Cities, even states, aren't ever going to be able to fully tackle this problem alone - there needs to be a massive initiative at the federal level.
My impression is that that has already happened... at multiple levels in the company.
Your money isn't going to them, they already have the money regardless of whether the item is sold on Amazon or not. If you want to support specific retailers buy from them directly rather than via a marketplace that allows third parties to list on it.
Agreed -- so under my rubric, if Google were consistently firing people for all off-topic messages slipped into the security UX, then that would be a non-political firing. But if they came down harder on "oh don't forget NLRB" than "Happy Birthday, Sundar", then that seems political and "fired for notifying co-workers..." seems accurate.

(I don't know enough of the history of Google's firings and this kind of violation to know either way.)

This assumess brem from the ring itself is negligible. Energy loss is from any interaction between ions that doesnt result in fusion. This includes stuff that would scatter ions out of the beam in reality, but in the charitable model its assumed their momenta are immediately reset to the most desirable value with perfect efficiency. In reality this would not be possible due to phase space considerations (Liouville theorem)
‘The Far Side’ Is Back, Sort Of
>The truth of a proposition P, within F, means "P is an axiom of F, or can be proved in F".

No, truth and proof are NOT the same thing. The system F needn't have any notion of truth. For example, Peano arithmetic has no notion of truth. Peano arithmetic has notions of zero, successor, addition, and multiplication--none of truth.

Almost all competent mathematicians would agree that there exist theorems in the language of PA which are neither provable nor disprovable in PA but which are nevertheless true. Here, "true" means "true in the standard model of PA", not "true according to PA"---the latter isn't even meaningful because there is no such thing as "truth according to PA".

A known phishing message in gmail gets a red banner. An expired cert gets a full page block and buries the actual page link. It does seem disproportionate.
It is not a safe assumption. A properly installed toilet may need a new float valve every few years, but these are simple to install. I lived in a house for about seven years where we never called in a plumber.

Note that I say "properly installed". The world is full of builders and contractors who will fail to install them properly. But then it doesn't matter whether you go to work or stay home.
This leak could very well have been planted by MS or Oracle to help them sell their own cloud to clients.

Honestly, we can totally ignore the previous generation. This has been a sticking point for a lot of people but at the end of the day they are irrelevant and aren't going to be around much longer. There are also a lot of them that welcome the new systems and bemoan their peers for not wanting to build anything anymore but an angry minority tends to get the most attention.

At the end of the day, analog modes aren't going anywhere and the old curmudgeons have no administrative power to prevent people from using newer modes and otherwise enjoying the available bandwidth as defined by the regulations.

Buying from Amazon directly will get you a very good returns policy but offers no guarantee of authenticity due to their commingling of inventory.
Don't forget that they value new ways of spying on users at a non-zero dollar amount, and probably intended to slap ads all over the interface (maybe—maybe—not the games themselves) to make up the difference, or at least were holding that possibility in reserve in case it was needed or they just wanted to kick returns up a notch later (I'd be shocked if it didn't come up in any "decks" used to sell the project internally).
Great example! Can’t wait to see it in the real world example list.

I think the Loader Model is a more direct path to what you are describing. In most cases it does not break with any observations that I saw.

The "accuracy" is probably the same, depending on how the experiment is setup. Even a standing clock can give the accurate time, once a day. ;-)

But, the experiment that are directed towards detecting this variant, show that the Loader model is valid... due to double detections of quanta, when there should only be one. According to the experimenter that I linked to, with easy-to-repeat experiments.

So Occham's razor tells me to look into it, before starting more complicated theories. It is not my favourite theory, but I am a scientist.
