That argument ignores everything that new formats and container formats can allow for. And if the argument is to put older formats "first" then you need to download older formats first to get the features of new formats and need to figure out the order of competing modern formats (like JPEGXR vs JPEG2000 vs WEBP).

This is basically a solved problem when people use mime types properly for formats. For sizes we'd need a similar way to mime types to ask for a size, html solves this for images with srcset but I'd rather it be within the transport mechanism rather than in the markup.

Requesting an image should be requesting a image, not a specific representation of that image. The representation should be part of the content negotiation that is already a part of the protocol.
Judging from the current, in all likelihood it is the opcode that APEI (a part of ACPI) tables write to port 0xB2 in order to invoke firmware services that run in system management mode.
Neither of the Wachowskis had transitioned when they made the Matrix. Many trans people don't go through life before transition knowing they're trans. They have an omnipresent feeling that something is deeply wrong, but they can't put it into words. Much like Neo at the beginning of the Matrix.
As mentioned in another comment, traditional photogrammetry software typically generates a 3D polygonal mesh.

It looks like this generates a light field, which is not something that traditional 3D software handles directly.

Utilizing biomarkers that are indicative of disease progression for discriminating against massive numbers of people -- for things like employment, healthcare and the like.

The thing people don't realize is that laws are highly ineffective against this sort of thing... as machines and algorithms are fed data and made to output numbers ... even the implementers don't totally understand what exactly is leading to discrimination.
Nice idea. I gave it a spin for https://VisualSitemaps.com

and after submitting our Stripe data, it showed this page which should REALLY use some love: https://share.getcloudapp.com/9ZuXWPl5

This page is a golden opportunity to perhaps:

- showcase current case-studies
- show more info graphics about your process
- show videos from the founders
- or just a random far-side cartoon.

Now it's just a dead looking page w/ a broken image.

The podcast he did with his brother Eric (The Portal #19) gives a very good history of the work he did as a grad student in finding that the telomeres of the lab mice supplied to US labs were elongated due the selective breeding process of producing as many mice as possible.

The implications are quite alarming for existing testing and they talk about how he was basically ignored and the mice quietly fixed.

The Pixel 3a and the Pixel 3 go for about the same price in the used market.

And I bet the Pixel 4a will go for MORE than the Pixel 4.

The Pixel 4 was a huge dud. I owned Android phones (mostly Pixel/Nexus) for a decade and that one didn’t interest me at any price.
You're wrong, at what point would you be responsible to take your own life? By what authority? Did you bring yourself into the world? It's one thing to say you have a right to take your life, but a responsibility? To who whom is the responsibility owed? If you have no one to care for you then you owe no responsibility to anyone, it you do, all the same you owe the people that care about you a chance to share a life with them, to share tomorrow with you. Now a right, that's a different subject, I don't condone euthnasia but I can't personally criticize a person wanting to leave the world because they can't endure today's pain.

One thing I will say about this subject I have thought about a lot. No one wants to die,absolutley no one. We may want the pain to be over, the boredom to end,the despair to dissipate or some other end we think is achieved by suicide but no one wants to say goodbye to their own self. If all things are possible to everyone, no one would choose death over life.

> Malls are going to start becoming ghost towns

... even more.
Sadly the RE people will be fine. They were sitting on a lot of cash, and they're now converting retail spaces into high-tech distribution centers.

The people who will be screwed are retail workers.
> All of this notwithstanding the growing knowledge that no, you can't just give mice cancer/MS/autism and check if a drug works there, expecting the same result in humans.

...to state the obvious, scientists aren't giving drugs to mice and then shipping them off to pharmacies. They're testing the drugs in mice first to see if it's worth testing in humans. Then, the human trials are used to determine efficacy.

It's not a perfect system to be sure, but what is the alternative? Bypass animal testing and go straight to human trials? I'd have a lot of obvious ethical issues with that.
I was just discussing this on here a couple weeks back [1]. Giving your DNA to a corporation is only a concern in the short to medium term. In the long term there will be nothing you can do to stop a malicious organization from taking your DNA. I asked what exactly were the negative repercussions that one can expect in that time frame from losing privacy regarding one's DNA and I'm not particularly worried about any of the answers. This news wouldn't yet change that even if ancestry.com had my DNA data.

I imagine because otherwise the journals wall out the actual content.
Malls being ghost towns is a side story. After the 2008 residential MBS crash, as I understand it, a lot of that money moved to the then relatively stable commercial MBS market. If that market goes toes up in turn, with this...

(That hasn't been in the news for a few months, so I had to look around for some perspectives. Cf. https://daily.jstor.org/the-commercial-real-estate-markets-i... and, perhaps more controversially, https://www.propublica.org/article/whistleblower-wall-street..., suggesting that some of the same practices that turned the residential
market into a crash-in-waiting may have been applied in the commercial market as well.)

This. We bought a house in an HOA and I definitely had a moment where I was like, "Wait a minute, some guy bought this land, subdivided it, and created this HOA out of thin air and now here we are, 40 years later, living under that HOA he made up. None of the original owners even live here anymore!"
That is already illegal

Well; I read the blog post and I am disappointed at Lemire, actually.

Yes, it does not claim anywhere it is his invention - it starts the description of the algorithm with "The common solution", but if you read it, it really looks like the development of the technique as a whole is his; at the end one note says:
"The technique described in this blog post is in used within Microsoft Arriba."

If no one had pointed out that it is not his, I would have thought that it was his, the blog post title is "A fast alternative to the fast modulo reduction", and not "How X's algorithm for fast modulo reduction works. My implementation".

This isn't just malls. This is concerning ALL retail/commercial real estate, a lot of which has still been heavily used.

Behind this is a lot of overvalued debt, which is at risk. Large institutions essentially treat this debt like dollars and have a bunch of their holding spread across a bunch of mortgage-backed securities such as these. Effectively, debt needs to be written off, and as such, "dollars" will disappear. This could result in some serious deflation.
(It's okay! Karma shmarma -- I enjoyed talking with you too. Lots of people made some excellent points.)
I didn't say it applied equally, just that it did apply. If I am guilty of something, it's whataboutism, not false equivalency, though I'm on neither of those sides, so I think I am innocent of all charges.
Gibbons v. Ogden was about Congress's right to regulate interstate commerce, not intrastate commerce.

The massive expansion and erosion of the meaning of interstate commerce didn't begin until Wickard v Filburn in 1942.

I guess Snow-Leopard was pretty lightweight compared to what we have now. IIRC I also modded the machine a bit with a 64GB aftermarket storage card. Maybe doubled the RAM too.

Eventually I think the aftermarket storage card died, and I went back to debian/XFCE, then to debian/LXDE, in an effort to try to keep it both current and usable, with chromium for a browser as FF was too heavy.

Pleased to hear someone has one still up and running :)
> Most of us are hard wired to be emotionally empathetic, that's a 'good thing'

Well, it is only about as good as any other animal instinct we possess - when not balanced with norms and intellect they lead to long-term disasters #. It's rather dismaying that a lot of people elevate empathy to the position of supremacy.

# For example empathy could cause one to acquit a cute-looking criminal, or to leap to comfort an ebola victim only to become infected themselves and go on to infect the next emphatic person before dying a horrible death.
This article misses the point of the django orm and migration system completly.

They are meant to allow for the dev of an ecosystem.

This is why you have so many django plugins, and why they are so easy to integrate and play together.

This is why it's easy to have a dev envs, tests, signals and api generation with django.

It trades performances and flexibility for this. It's nothing more than a classic technical compromise.

You may need raw sql later on in your django project. But if you feel like starting with it, just go with flask. Django makes no sense.
Commercial mortgaged backed securities are an investment. Investments come with risks. Bankruptcy is just part of that risk.

The US is thirty years out from the previous commercial real-estate reckoning. The S&L crisis. Everything that was booming a year ago was built on top of that reckoning.
How is that safe to assume??? You can't assume anything, why not ask the source of the data? The other way is to attempt to confirm which order by looking for first 2 digits > 12, but that info might not be available depending on the data.
Yeah, I saw that also after I'd posted. The pdf being third party hosted makes more sense to me now.
It is. The program tries to prevent use of unauthorized USB devices, yet it uses the easily spoofed USB device IDs to authenticate them.
Indeed. I just picked up a laptop from my shelf the other day that had been collecting dust for years (literally booted it last in July 2017), as a friend needed a replacement laptop.

The laptop was bought in 2011. It was a fairly cheap one then, and has a dual-core i3 with hyperthreading, and it came with an SSD. I added another some RAM I had laying around so now it has 8GB.

After getting a fresh copy of Win10 on it, it's surprisingly usable. Webpages loads just fine, YouTube is accelerated so is smooth. I could totally use that for my daily laptop had it not been for the rather lackluster 1366x768 screen.
That's interesting. I never would have thought about this area. If you can shoot me an email (in my profile) I would love to ask a few more questions about this, if you have the time.
I don't get this in general? Is it not policy that you need to wear a shirt and shoes while in a commercial building? Do you not have signs on your stores that say 'No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service'?

How are we as a society unable to reconcile the need to wear a shirt in store with the need to wear a mask? I realize that as a society we are dumb panicky animals that are afraid of any change, but this is ridiculous!
I'm surprised no one here mentioned backwards compatibility as the likely ultimate reason Microsoft hasn't fixed this by default yet.

As others have mentioned, the "fix" of turning off auto-formatting is already available. But many here are wondering my Microsoft hasn't fixed the default.

I assume it's for the same reason Microsoft Excel purposely claims the date 1900-02-29 is valid, to be compatible with Lotus-1-2-3. I assume many legacy spreadsheets would break unpredictably if interpreting values as dates by default changed.
AFAIK the ME is required to initialize the processor so it can never be completely disabled. The best you could do is remove any code beyond necessary initialization which has mostly already been done by me_cleaner.
How much does that cost, and is anyone going to pay that cost when residential rents are also falling? Commercial property is so different from living quarters that I wouldn't be surprised if "conversion" isn't actually possible, short of just razing it and building from scratch.

I maintain an online game, pokemonshowdown.com

Gamers tend to be pretty technically inclined, so the audience mostly uses pretty modern browsers.

I support down to ES3 (Safari 5, IE9) mostly because I can (I learned web dev back in the old days and still remember all the tricks), although it's nice to see fans talk about playing on obscure platforms like the Nintendo 3DS browser or a Samsung smart refrigerator.

Animations are implemented in jQuery animations, and the networking is provided by SockJS (which can fall back to JSONP long-polling and even iframes if the browser doesn't support WebSocket).
Yes. Whenever I email or transfer a zip via any method really I always put a basic password on it.

I've been bitten way too many times by dumb filters that pick some file out of the zip and declare that it is malicious. I also don't trust messenger apps to not pull my files out and do who knows what with them. A basic password prevents this junk 99% of the time for almost no effort.

It won't stop a determined system from cracking the password. But that isn't what I'm trying to defend against.

You got that backwards. 800,000 Americans sounds like a huge number, but it's only 0.24%. It's dwarved by the number of deaths that happen every year -- 2,813,503 (0.86%) in 2017.[1]

Absolute numbers aren't relevant, or do you believe Andorra isn't affected by COVID?

Every time I hear about this dude I only can remember that he publicly rescinded the offer of an engineer who asked in Quora on whether he should take an offer from Zenefits or an offer from Uber.

A harmless and rightful question that many people do ask themselves when considering an offer (taking x or y job offer) and the dude treated it like it was some sort of cult loyalty matter.

I hope he has learned from his past mistakes since he seems pretty smart and driven.

I just can't stand those cult-like cultures some companies/founders try to create. And I'm talking also about those companies that pose like they are a family and everyone is together no matter what. Drinking their own kool-aid... That's so far from the real transactional nature of a job.

To create good working cultures founders should start by realizing that the relationships between employees and employers are no different from the relationship between a buyer and seller. Both parties should seek for transparency, respect and fairness in their relationship. It shouldn't be some sort of lifestyle type of decision and they should never be challenged to pick between their personal life and their professional life. Your employees will never be as passionate as you're about the mission's company so if you want them to really stick and do their best, start by realizing they are not you.
Why does the config file name end in .ini? Was this written by a Windows programmer? (Serious question.)
The point is that one without PTSD might want to claim to have it. This gets sympathy, disability benefits, etc.

There are also borderline cases of victimhood. Do those get rounded to "yes" or "no"? If you've had a difficult experience, you could talk that up into PTSD or brush it off. If being a victim brings social or financial benefits, that will make the difference for some people.
Yeah, I know of plenty of other companies with similar multi-time-use passwords. The data in that zip file probably isn't that confidential.
Well, for attack vectors like Mouse Jiggler (I have one, very cheap on Amazon) or polymorphic USB devices, it would work if the attack is unaware of the utility's existence. For polymorphics specifically, I checked the code, and it does indeed validate the Ids of the devices, not just their count.

For others, even if the attacker is unaware of the utility, those shortcomings are still serious enough (e.g. rapid keyboard typing).
so why does it use multi-layer perceptron? is it the same as ANN? why not calling it ANN? Does it have activation?

There is another thing I don't understand. Traditional volume data is a map of position to density (or color). There doesn't seem to be the need for a direction as an input.

Why does the network need a direction? Why can't we get a density (opacity) and a color given a position?

Tax write offs never ‘make up for’ anything - if you write off $1000 in property taxes, it will reduce your tax burden by ($marginal_tax_rate*1000), which will by definition be less than $1000.

Tax write offs are distinct from tax credits.

I build iOS apps using Visual Studio 2019 + Xamarin on Windows, then running macOS in a VMWare VM that basically just functions as a build server (Windows communicates with it via SSH). You can find lots of YouTube videos describing how to do it.

It's technically against the macOS terms of service, but the macOS terms of service are likely illegal anyways (monopoly bundling of hardware + software, etc).
It's almost certainly based upon a multiple of revenue. That multiple will be adjusted for growth, margins, and sector-specific hype.

The problem is that we haven’t seen healthy competition in the Android market. What I mean by that is this: Android isn’t really open source the way we normally understand that. Google makes some changes, then tosses the source code over the fence to everyone else. So hardware manufacturers like Samsung can use it as is, or they can tack on their own crap since adding software features is way easier than hardware ones. So you get an OS with another OS shell built over it all in the name of marketing. You also get Amazon’s devices which are incompatible in a lot of ways even though they are also Android.

What would be ideal is more of what we have with Linux distorts: an extremely solid base and distributions that can run on any modern phone. Why can’t I run the Samsung OS on my HTC phone and vice verse? Why are bootloaders always locked? Why are updates only handed down when the company execs deem it to be necessary?

I agree that the Apple system is problematic. But their UX is superior in so many ways. I hate how iMessage is Apple-only but I love using it vs traditional SMS. I hate the lock in, but I have been paying for iCloud storage to handle all my photos and backups and such for years and have had zero problems from it. I like choice, but I really hate when the device I use almost more than all others combined on a daily basis doesn’t work because some marketing stuff prevented it from getting an update. Like it or not, Apple does UX better, and as long as they do they’ll keep getting my money.
I was under the impression that Apple has moved away from allowing unsigned drivers to be loaded?
I grew up in a rural place. A lot of our food is from relatives and from our own animals and plants. None of them are hipsters though, nor do they have instagram accounts. We don't apply the same standards to commercial food or when dining out: i know it would be incredibly taxing for the environment if commercial food did not exist. I just hope food technology improves so that we can replicate good quality in high quantities. I don't think organic can scale, nor would i support trying it.
It seems absurd that the DOJ is using the FCC's argument that it didn't have the authority to regulate ISPs to prevent states from regulating ISPs. If they don't have the authority to regulate, how do they have the authority to stop regulation?

I think the answer is pretty obviously not some kind of reasonable legal argument, but simply that the corporations which really run the Trump FCC and DOJ do not want Net Neutrality regulations. Comcast's bottom line doesn't care about rational legal arguments.
So incurious.
