Well DTC is moving through a lot of non perishable industries as many do understand how much power retailers have over the manufacturer of products they sell. Just as the article mention RTVs and discounting forced upon the manufacturer grocery has been doing this for ages, even down to the point of forcing sales on a schedule, charging for end cap space or specific aisles.

One issue the fashion industry also faced is that for the last few years it really felt as if America was pulling back from celebrity worship. That is good thing and part of that means not having to keep up with the Kardashians, whether their TV show or the brands they sport. With so many in the music industry called out in #METOO; excepting one glaring genre; there was pull back there as well.

DTC has made it sort of in perishables through Instacart and such push many manufacturers DTC through proxies like Amazon and more.

Free and open source webapp to keep yourself up to date with new vulnerabilities
There are a lot of different services providing vulnerability feeds. Some of them are for automated consumption, others overwhelm you with filters, queries and analytics, and the rest are paid. I was looking for a simple service to browse through recent vulnerabilities, like Twitter CVEnew channel, but with severity scores and affected products.

Being unable to find a service that suits my needs, I've wrote one and decided to make it free and open source. No registration required, works well on mobile and desktop, updated hourly from NVD modified feed.

Source code is available on GitHub: https://github.com/sukhinin/nvdfeed.

Feedback is welcome!

I've fallen into this trap. It led me to realize that, like ideologies, all frameworks are flawed. Assuming otherwise leads to positions that are starved for empathy and compassion - and that are ultimately counterproductive.

Physics, software and aircraft engineering expertise are only going to help you so much. It's enough to build a general purpose sim, but to simulate real aircraft you also need real data, which is often a trade or a military secret, as DCS developers learned the hard way when one of them got arrested for alleged smuggling of F-16 manuals. For a serious sim, you need a lot of communication with the aircraft developer, and a lot of money for licensing fees.
I agree they are brittle but why are they not informative? They usually catch edge case bugs in situations I wouldn't have time to manually test.
As conspiracy theories go, that one perhaps hits hardest because of the "banality of evil" aspect to it.
>The wikipedia article does not go into that much technical details. Do you have more? Given that the Cisco officer could only talk about strcmp and not something more substantial, I am inclined to believe the story was overblown.

It's wikipedia man - that section alone has 8 cited sources. Healthy skepticism is a good thing, but I'm not going to spoonfeed you.

>it is not a simple case of just copying your competitor's source code then racing ahead of them with a massive sales team and non-technical economic prowess

But this is exactly what happened in Huawei's case. Huawei is known for being cheaper than Cisco and providing way better support than Cisco. It's easy to throw bodies at sales & support when you don't pay R&D. They aren't even ahead of everyone else - Cisco's hardware is still more performant and Ericsson is still more widely deployed. 5G simply provided a new ground where everyone would start from 0.

That is a reference to what the Russians wanted, and this is after the nuclear bombs. Once the bombs were dropped terms acceptable to some of the Japanese changed. Japan wasn’t a monolithic government, you had competing leadership, the empowered, the military, the politicians, etc.

The military fervently wanted a US invasion, believing it could inflict millions of casualties and then negotiate better terms. And many Japanese didn’t feel like they had even lost yet, they were willing to endure bombings feeling their fortress island was unassailable.

You know more than Eisenhower?
He's not some random out of touch congressman though, he personally should know better than to make such an unspecific attack on encryption. The way he said it, everyone will hear that he wants the government to limit encryption which essentially means to ban it.

And they wouldn't be wrong. If the same thing came out of someone else's mouth I assume you wouldn't be seeking out an unreasonably charitable explanation like this.

And if such a plan was introduced by Trump you probably wouldn't even think of this charitable version as a good plan at all because at the end of the day, things like censorship and mass surveillance are tools of oppression in the wrong hands, and you have no control whose hands it will end up in once it's normalized.

I’m on the pretty low to nonexistent level of fashion consciousness but fast forward 8 months to a world where maybe there is a vaccine.

I’ve read this guide & would like to use this as an exercise for college students. However, I don’t have a background in AI. Can anyone provide insight into how the driving skill of the AI will be impacted by the following?

1. The shape/length/complexity of the track that is used to collect training data

2. The quality of the training data, for example how well the human drives the car while recording the data

3. The choice of Keras model from these options: http://docs.donkeycar.com/parts/keras/

Edit to add additional context: I’d like the students to build some intuition about how these factors will impact the AI training process so that they are able to propose an economical training plan. These will be industrial engineering students, so they’ll be focused on improving the training & car assembly processes rather than the software engineering behind AI.

Thanks!

There are trends in every creative field imaginable, that wasn't the point. The trends in fashion move the quickest and are completely, absolutely arbitrary. Fashion also dictates that still-functional products get discarded on a whim, unlike say, architecture.
Transistor sizes are easy to extract from photos. What's hard is doping levels, which can make a transistor enhancement or depletion. The type is usually obvious from context. However, the Z-80 designers famously used the "wrong" doping for a few transistors. The purpose of this was to create traps for companies copying the IC from the die, since a straightforward copy would yield a few gates that didn't work right.

I've found a few of these traps in the Z-80, and they were placed very maliciously. The circuit appears reasonable and correct, but fails in subtle ways.
That's much more expensive than my experience, I wonder if there was another complication? I was quoted closer to 2k for installing to my building about 100m back from a cabinet.

In a literal sense, the LLVM IR is more informative because it literally has more information attached to the instructions. This information gets lost when the machine code is produced.

This information will be very useful to any compiler that uses LLVM as a back end, not just LLVM itself. Of course it may not be particularly useful to anyone else unless they're particularly interested in trying to diagnose why their code is being optimized in a certain way.
The problem with hearing the other side is of course that most people are more concerned with reaching the correct value judgment (imprisoning innocent Uyghurs is bad, killing innocent protesters is bad) than with reaching it based on accurate information.

that's not going to affect their value judgment (the numbers are smaller, people weren't killed on the square itself but elsewhere, who cares, it's still bad) and most likely they'll soon forget those details and keep telling their original story, because, well, it's just a much more visceral image.
Could you expand on that? Do you mean that they are predictable or possibly artificially steered?

In mainstream linguistics sound changes are assumed to be random. Some are more common than others of course, but there's no saying what sound change will happen in English next.
I think if someone was gay and or dealt with HIV in some form, they likely heard of Dr Fauci. Researchers definitely know who is. From his CDC bio: “In a 2020 analysis of Google Scholar citations, Dr. Fauci ranked as the 41st most highly cited researcher of all time. According to the Web of Science, Dr. Fauci ranked 7th out of more than 1.8 million authors in the field of immunology by total citation count between 1980 and January 2020.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_a...:

“…many U.S. officials and scientists argued that a demonstration would sacrifice the shock value of the atomic attack, and the Japanese could deny the atomic bomb was lethal, making the mission less likely to produce surrender. Allied prisoners of war might be moved to the demonstration site and be killed by the bomb. They also worried that the bomb might be a dud since the Trinity test was of a stationary device, not an air-dropped bomb. In addition, although more bombs were in production, only two would be available at the start of August, and they cost billions of dollars, so using one for a demonstration would be expensive.”

Gates attacked encryption. Nothing beneficial (to the public) follows that.
That would be a feature, so it needs to provide some kind of benefit to someone's career in order to be implemented. This is only for launching the feature, and maintenance is still unlikely.
"It would be hard for WhatsApp to prevent people from spreading bogus videos, because they have access to the unencrypted information before and after sending."

Facebook/WhatsApp claims WhatsApp messages are "end-to-end" encypted. For example, here

https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https:...

Are the "end-to-end" encryption claims irrelevant if "they have access to the unecncypted information before and after sending"?
You are arguing a very minor point.
I have had the opportunity to visit Hiroshima and lived in the US where I had the chance to study under professor William Perry former Secretary of Defense and responsible for many post war research. The perspective and official version that Americans have is that dropping the bomb was the right thing to do and only way to finish the war in the Pacific.
The history is written by the winners simple fact to always keep in mind.
This is clearly a misunderstanding of World War 2. In Europe after England and France lost their hegemony as empires, it became a race between USSR and US for world domination. The Red Army after controlling Germany were on their way to Japan, and Japanese were really afraid of it. There was a previous dispute over Kamchatka peninsula and other territories that Russians would want to claim back. US already defeated Japan in the Pacific and most of Japan was already destroyed. US sent the bomb to send a message to the World and USSR: we have this weapon and we will use it. It was in their best interest to control a Russia-free Japan than get into the same mess as in Germany.
Also all those trends it shows are all approaching the old baseline.
How do you get around the extremely poor range of 5G? Also, I’ve heard a lot of ISPs tout the download speed with 5G and almost none say how much the upload speed will be on their networks.

Then you have been fed propaganda. The bomb had nothing to do with Japan surrendering.
AFAIK diffing is the only way, I'd love to hear if anyone has a better technique
I was under the impression "verbatim" is to disable filter-bubble personalisation.

Normal queries are tailored to your personal filter bubble. You can't see what other people see from same search, and if you're doing SEO or just trying to find who tends to come top in results for something you have a lot of history looking at, you can't tell who comes top for other people.
Right, but many 5G technologies necessitate small cell size, which also creates a last mile issue.

I don’t understand what your motivation is for saying this. Why do you think Bill is not to be asked these questions? Do you think he would twist or misrepresent facts? Do you think somehow funding so much research makes him untrustworthy?
40 years ago I wrote a paper on nuclear weapons. My memory isn't perfect and the sources are 40-50 years out of date. But here goes.

The US built a massive manufacturing pipeline to make nuclear weapons. Little boy was a once off. Fat man was basically a functional prototype. And the manufacturing pipeline was running and kept running after the war. How much weapons grade plutonium they had left over after they bombed Nagasaki is kind of a quibble.
The commoditization of the PC is not wholly due to Microsoft’s luck: IBM used common parts that could be copied legally. It helped a great deal.
Between business and casual, there's definitely "business casual" which is pretty standard uniform for many business people these days--think khakis + button down for men and either boating shoes or loafers of some sort. Which is very closely related to a lot of "preppy" outfits going back to the 80s. [1]

The Americans with Disabilities Act, however, is applicable to private businesses; though (unless things have changed recently) there is currently an unresolved three-way split in federal circuits about high it applies to website with the Third Circuit saying it doesn’t, the First, Second, and Seventh Circuits saying it does generally, and the Sixth, Ninth, and Eleventh Circuits splitting the difference and saying it does if their is sufficient nexus between the website and a physical location of business, and the California State Courts seem to (in applying the state Unruh Civil Rights Act, which includes among it's triggers ADA violations) holding that it is at least applicable in the nexus case.
Photos shared on discord via DM can be accessed by anyone at all. They’re not password protected and it’s relatively easy to brute force* the URL of the photo if you have any other URL from that particular conversation to give you the “server” ID. Even easier if there’s a time of day you know a photo was sent because of the way a “snowflake” is generated for the image. That’s always seemed like a pretty gaping security hole to me but I never see anyone mention it.

Focus on building web/mobile applications, with experience on both the front and back-end. More recently focusing on front-end work, namely working with React Native; having users happy to interact with something I've built is what keeps me motivated.

I've worked in a bunch of industries and led a bunch of fairly successful teams including: leading a team to build a major government satellite project (RADARSAT Constellation Mission), further developing an asset management system and other tools for the movie industry, attempting to build a real estate/housing application more successful than my first from a couple years back, and more.

Looking for a great team focused on building a product (or products) users love, with minimal red tape. A team that works well with each other with little in the way of workplace politics, is passionate about what they're building, alongside management and PMs that do their best to help the team and product succeed.

This is what a quickly developing field feels like.

Say, in 10 years from 1985 to 1995, personal computer CPUs developed from 80286 @12MHz and 134k transistors to Pentium MMX @133MHZ and 3.3M transistors, with at least 100x improvement in integer performance alone, to say nothing about FPU and the vector unit (MMX). And another similar jump occurred in next 10 (well, 11) years when Intel unveiled the Core line of CPUs.
How would you define "originally"? Switzerland has demonstrable signs of habitation by Homo erectus 300,000 years ago and by Neanderthals. It was part of the Roman empire for several hundred years.

It has been de jure independent since 1648 (with the exception of a few years of Napoleonic control), and de facto for at least 150 years before that.

And yes, in between there were were several hundred years where Switzerland was part of whatever passed for "France" and "Germany" in those times, but I'm not sure that era was any more fundamental than the rest of history.

That’s not true. GWB took it very seriously and put a plan in place. Obama modernized the plan. Trump is the one who ignored his predecessors and set the stage for the mess we are in.
