Yeah. The 3DS only supports one viewing angle, holding it straight parallel to your face. At that angle, you see 3D; at any other angle, you see distortions. So indeed, the 3DS very hard to demonstrate in a photo or video. But Looking Glass supports multiple angles, which makes the gif you mentioned possible and is also what makes it unique as a product!
It's easy to solve. FB gets to either be a platform for content or a curator for content. They can't be both because that would be a conflict of interest.
No I don't mean the worst interpretation thinkable, when I say 'share that information'.

Glad to see you've thought of the issues. Now lets brainstorm solutions.

A DNS-style authority with the answer to the routers' questions perhaps. Updated by the leaf router with some route coloring info for a new leaf node perhaps. Inquired upon cache miss by core routers? Aged out for frequent updating (roaming, unique ID per connect, and other short-lived routes).
The key difference is that ERC-721/NFTs are a neutral platform not owned or controlled by anymore. Those systems were run by a corporation that could pull the rug out from under you at any time which means no company in their right mind would risk their success building on a system that could be turned off or used to coerce them at any time in the future. You can build on top of ERC-721 since you know it will be around in the future and it's stable, like HTTP before it. Neutral systems are a prerequisite for large groups of stakeholders to cooperate.
I had a PDP-10 "Orange Book" at one time. Caltech had a 10 for the students, and I threw it away after graduating.

I sorely regret that. I've never been able to find a copy of it since.

(The Orange Book was a thick book with an orange cover, and had everything in it you needed to know about the 10.)
Digital goods are always in perfect condition and can be trivially resold, while reselling physical goods takes way more effort, is mostly semi-locally restricted and the good gets damaged after usage.

e.g. if some guy from the other side of the world wants to sell their physical book to you, it's very likely cheaper, faster and more convenient to just buy a new copy.

It's like the difference between e-mail and mail. It's conceptually the same, but the lack of barrier causes it to behave completely differently.

Coffeescript was here to stay? I always saw it as a seki-esoteric language people sprinkled their CV with.

Dart was a push by Google but went nowhere.

TS drives Angular, has first-class support on React and soon in Vue. Most libs have TS typings. Nextjs (amongst others) provide easy TS integration. It’s being pushed by M$, C# and Java like seem to like it and Enterprise (tm) adopts it.

It’s an entirely different beast.
So there is also no such thing as a business model flywheel like a platform as Amazon for example?

The studies I'm thinking of explicitly measure homelessness due to relationship issues and divorce, violence, mental illness and drug addiction, as well as economic issues. Over the last 15 years, people, and specifically families, have become homeless increasingly because of economic issues.
The MTAs are hostile,they are the threat. Email can traverse multiple servers that have nothing to do with the sender or recipient.

wow, there are already platforms that cover this topic. Cool, thanks for posting it
personally, i hardly consume movies/tv shows anymore. if i did, i'd likely pirate them nowadays. I did use netflix when it actually had content through vpn. They removed that (as well as almost all content) which made me terminate that sub. I dont really miss these shows that much, but if i did... i most certainly wouldn't subscribe to several portals jumping between just to figure out where is what and how much time i've got to watch it to the end before they're removing the content again.

i think you gotta realize that at least a lot of people dont really pirate to save money. they pirate because they cant be arsed to deal with the shitty other platform that are plain inferior and take way too much effort to figure out.

wrt books/ebooks: i actually do occasionally buy them on amazon, drm be darned. but i dont actually try to create an archive either. thats the big difference - if you actually wanna keep what you read/watch available forever... you just gotta pirate it. there is no other way. a lot of people enjoy building an archive. they're all forced to pirate almost everything.

Comparing the most important product(s) at MS with any other MS product/project and arguing they are somehow "equal" in the eyes of MS (because press releases, marketing) is a losing game.
That's the beauty of a static site generator -- github just expects valid HMTL to be generated and pushed to a specific branch. Github has no more Jekyll support than it has support for Hugo or a custom static site generator written in bash.

I host my hugo-based blog with github pages.
Sometimes, just shutting up about an issue and not discussing it is the best thing for a group to do.

Then the terrorists win.

That used to be the conventional wisdom on trolls, but there are now so many of them. Worse, about half are bots.[1] (Both NPR and Fox News have that story, so it's probably correct.)

Both metadata in the uploaded book, and seeing the transaction reversed a few weeks later.

Publishers announce the books they'll be releasing a year in advance,and - seriously, this is a rabbit hole I knew nothing about when I started - people were offering bounties to pirate my book before it was available. I have a Google alert for my books so I can read reviews, so all this chatter was turning up. These are people who had no intention of paying for the work, no matter what, but also seemed to be going out of their way to make sure no-one would have to pay.

You can talk about DRM and clunky websites, but that comes across as post-hoc justification. The pirates seem simply to hate the idea that creators might earn anything, no matter how little.
Maybe don't discount the Technion so easily. All of the professors are fluent in English as is most of the student body. There are many graduate students who start studying there without knowing Hebrew.

> I think the argument doesn’t suffer if you replace “prejudice” with “strongly held beliefs”.

Yes, it does, because the post I originally responded to said "persuading people out of" these beliefs. How is that justified if the beliefs are not known to be wrong? "Prejudice" implies that the beliefs are known to be wrong, so it's justified to try to persuade people out of them. "Strongly held beliefs" does not carry the same implication.
Actually, you could probably argue that Blender already is these four things (a framework, blender, unreal engine and visual studio (the latter two as part of the game engine(defunct) and editor for example)).
Disclaimer: I don't agree with your conclusions regarding general needs and instincts (of human) and that a human possess abosolute/built-in/DNA-engrained inabilities (therefore, I do believe a human can fly). I also don't agree that Facebook is to share much of the blame for the chaotic human zeitgeist present today.
I do believe a human is highly malleable and impressionable, and that these qualities have been exploited historically at various scales for various reasons.

"There is no vaccine yet for this."

There may not be any vaccine, but there may be a cure. If we change the language used to communicate within a setting/platform such as Facebook, possibly by using a subset of the language previously used or by adopting a more Formal construct.

But Facebook is a virtual neighborhood, with greatly increased bandwidth and range. It is difficult or impossible to achieve it in their settings.
OK I read that -very interesting! And now I'm positive I don't know how to prove it myself. Luckily there are smarter people who can address problems like this. Thanks for the link!

Damn. I ended up caught up in peoples reponses to the abortion debate question and totally forgot my disgust of Facebook which was top of mine as I started reading the comments. Ironically it confirms the article and how Facebook can keep distracting from focus on itself by having platform users head down rabit hole after rabit hole in an attempt to satiate their flawed human desire to be right all the time.

To apply established terms to these concepts, the divide you're describing is roughly "cost-based pricing" vs. "value-based pricing."
Agree. We do something similar:

* 1 month (or less) to prove that it makes sense to continue. We do start out with a pretty well defined problem definition though. Outcome is typically a bunch of jupyter notebooks proving that we get at least some predictive value that helps solve the problem. If no proof: no-go

* 2 months to upgrade it to something that works well enough to run a real pilot (e.g. shadow run, run with a few agents, in an A/B test, etc.). If no success: no-go

* Then hopefully in production within another 3 months. We're in a pretty regulated industry, most of this time is _not_ engineering.

The phases help set priorities as well. Doesn't always make sense to spend (much) more time on scalability if we don't know it works yet.
Even the max rates reported under "Download Measurements" and "Upload Measurements" are slower than any other site I test against. The site also has a lot more variability from test to test.

I get download measurements anywhere from 400-800 Mbps, but mostly under 500 Mbps. I have yet to see an upload measurement above 100 Mbps.

This test just doesn't reflect real-world results for my Internet connection.
Best part about getting to a certain level of fitness is that: 1.you know what's possible

that's one hell of a setup
Yes, and this is particularly problematic IMHO in sequence-to-sequence translators, as were used here. When fed enough training data, they do an amazing job at aping their training, but they are prone to spout utter nonsense in edge cases, and they don't really (to my knowledge) have any indication that they should have less confidence in one result than in the other.

So best case this system gives black box answers that may or may not hold up in verification. That does not seem to be a very useful way to do mathematical research.
I love the philosophy behind Fate, but in practice the mechanics left me cold. Writing good character aspects is trickier than it should be: there’s a sweet spot of specific enough to be limited and actionable, but broad enough to be useful in practice, and it’s hard to hit.

Then the game can be so interpretive and improvisational that it actually comes out the other side as less immersive than a crunchier game like D&D. Players spend less time role-playing and more time talmudically studying their character sheets for ways they can apply their aspects to a given situation.

In contrast, I’m a big fan of old(ish) school Call of Cthulhu (from Chaosium, not the d20 version). The mechanics are concrete, straightforward, and get the hell out of the way when you don’t need them. Character sheets embed a lot of info about who a character is without turning into a script for role-playing.

Obviously mileage will vary. Some groups will really grok Fate and love it; mine didn’t. Regardless of whether you even wind up playing the game, it’s a good read for any DM just for its take on things.

Edit to add: I’ve also used Fate’s character creation system to help make characters for short stories, and it worked really well. I’d never do that with something like a D&D character sheet.

Again, completely untrue. A) Volt not a series hybrid B) the gas engine in Gen 2 Volt was not taken from their production line, it is an Atkinson Cycle engine designed for generators, not for their crappy ICE trucks and SUVs.

C'mon, can people research before opining?

"While it shares many parts with the new 1.5L I-4 used in other GM products, the Gen II engine’s combustion process and calibration are specific to the Volt. Its larger displacement not only improves fuel efficiency but also provides more torque, which contributes to the Gen II Volt’s surprising quietness."

Personally, I think most of the persuasive related research is not done through public research (universities, public funding) but more through corporate or military (?) research. I can even imagine that there is obtained knowledge being used to help persuade the public for political gain. Which the wider public or public universities aren't being shared and is oblivious to the public and the wider science community.

Guess, it sounds bit like a tin hats theory but I can imagine the above is the happening at the moment.
That's nice and all. Unfortunately, (to stay in the metaphor) the PM has arranged to quiz you on the main plot points of season 6 three days from now, so your best option is to find a good plot summary for seasons 1-5 on Youtube somewhere.
Tangentially, I'm reminded of something a high school teacher mentioned to me. The context was military service, but of course this applies in any organization.

'The way to get rid of an undesireable superior is to do only what you are ordered to do.'

The supervisor's task will fail in some way, and new leadership will be needed.

I've kept this in mind, not as a way to undermine leadership, but as a lesson in what good leaders need to know — that getting things done requires everyone to be be empowered and act in some degree at their own inititive.
Thanks for the feedback, very much appreciated! I'm a product manager here at Cloudflare, responsible for launching this tool. Since the launch, we've found some issues that we're going to address:

- Especially for users with a very fast Internet connection, speed.cloudflare.com reports upload speeds much lower than expected figures. We don't yet know what is causing this but will disable the upload part of the test until we know more.

- In general reported download speeds are little lower than figures coming from other speed tests. We will revisit our methodology to understand the discrepancy.

- Re: the speed test automatically starting: we appreciate the feedback and understand why some users may not want this as default behavior. We will disable the auto-start for now.

In the meantime, we appreciate any and all feedback, please keep it coming: you can reach me at achiel [at] cloudflare.com

Interestingly, for me, it's reporting significantly higher speeds than I'm paying for, and than other speed tests report.

I'm paying for 100 Mbps down / 100 Mbps up, and every speedtest always comes very close. Upload usually a little higher. From experience the actual maximum speed is also roughly 12 to 13 MBps.

Cloudflare is reporting 667 Mbps down / 220 Mbps up.

I'm not so sure. I think the task is to find a treatment and a point in time where the treatment was considered alternative medicine, was then proven to work, and thereafter was considered medicine.

The conclusion then is that there are things we consider medicine today that used to be alternative medicine.
Strictly, Sweden messed up if you consider the variable to optimize to be the number of short-term coronavirus deaths. If no vaccine or effective treatment comes available soon enough, then other countries may pay the same cost in mortality after reopening, just later. Theirs could even be worse, if e.g. they accidentally push their second wave into winter and the weather effect turns out to be significant.

And that's before considering the second-order cost in mortality. Society has existing treatments for various diseases that we know statistically would save lives, but that we don't pay for because they're not cost-effective, often defined around $100k per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) in the West. Assuming about 10 QALY lost per coronavirus death, the coronavirus has so far cost Sweden the same mortality as a $4B cut in health spending, about 1% of their GDP.

So if you favored an intervention that would have cut that mortality to zero but cost Sweden an extra 2% of GDP, then in a meaningful statistical sense, you're killing people--you're proposing to allocate limited resources from a place where they save more lives to a place where they save fewer. The only difference is that we see coronavirus victims dying now, but the future deaths due to an under-resourced medical system will be lost in the noise.

None of this is to say that Sweden's response is obviously right. For example, if a treatment is discovered next month that dramatically cuts the IFR, then they'll regret not delaying cases until after that. To criticize Sweden's response solely on the basis of their current death count is not useful, though.
Part of the trick is that no matter what definition one picks for "diversity" it is sure to conflict with what many others think the term "should" mean

For example, many would argue that your definition (color, gender, ethnicity blind) would not be diversity at all.

I don't see this as a bad thing. I experience this as a good thing.

The RSS feeds I subscribe to give me plenty of "presentation" or "branding". Logos, written descriptions [both short- and long-form], clear names of what I am subscribing to, URLs. Just the right amount for me, in fact; if I wanted to go to their website(s) for their particular buffet of blog posts, featured puff pieces on Page Five, twitter mentions, &c I can do that ... or not. I'm glad I don't have to if I don't want to, and all of these folks are more than able to drop into their RSS feed a "Please go here for our tour information with new stuff in our online shop" mention just as you are able to go straight to some website full of deep-thumping media flashing into your senses as you get to where you want to go instead of using RSS.

Serious question / Genuinely Curious

Why would the author call herself a bitch? why implicitly promote objectification of women by explicitly being ok with (crazy in my opinion) the personal choice of objectifying onseself?

I understand that she is a growth hacker and her thinking may be perhaps a title like this Only to get clicks. If so, even then, it still seems conflicting and contradicting to a personal beliefs of herself not being an object. On the other hand if she like to objectify herself why would somebody sane do thst ?

Huh... I've always described 2^10 bytes as a "kilobyte" (kB) but I've always hated the ambiguity, even if the difference between 2^10 and 10^3 is usually not important. Thanks to this comment, I learned there is an formal set of units which are distinct from their SI counterparts[0].

1000^1 kB, 1024^1 kibibyte (kiB)
1000^2 MB, 1024^2 mebibyte (MiB)
1000^3 GB, 1024^3 gibibyte (GiB)
1000^4 TB, 1024^4 tebibyte (TiB)
1000^5 PB, 1024^5 pebibyte (PiB)

1000^7 ZB, 1024^7 zebibyte (ZiB)
1000^8 YB, 1024^8 yobibyte (YiB)

It looks like those units have been around since 1995, but they haven't seen much mainstream adoption. Too bad.

Human nature is what defines the difference between alternative and regular. It also defines what is a double standard. You didn't need to explicitly mention it for it to be relevant to the discussion.
We need a site that aggregates these creators separately from the platforms they publish on. This way if a (shadow) ban hammer comes down, at least the users can find the creator without relying on the platform that banned them.

It depends what you want to measure of course. I provided results to a variety of servers besides my local fast.com and speedtest.net server. As well, I'm familiar with what speeds I get when downloading Xcode, when pulling binaries via Usenet, etc. The results from Cloudflare indicate to me a bottleneck on their end, and something is especially wonky with the upload result.

I get 860-910 Mbps down/ 180-372 Mbps up to NYC[1-3], TOR1, but I have to test using Chrome. Running the DO test under Safari is pegging the CPU on a Macbook Pro 2.7 Ghz i7. (The other speed tests run fine under Safari.)
