Arete is one of my favorites.

Picked up by way of Mage: the Ascension, where you are a reality bending mage & your general mastery over reality is called "arete". Your efficacy at magic, your excellence... silly intro but got me introduced to the idea & a host of other good ones that still shape my perception of the world.

That game world also has a "trimurti" which closely parallels the Hindu triumvirate, which is another good perspective I've been glad to carry. Creating/sustaining/destroying, crudely said.
Sure, but as far as I know, for neither the busy beaver problem nor godel's incompleteness are the capabilities that humans bring to the table different than computers.

The State of the American Restaurant, City by City
As far as I can tell Facebook makes a good point. The Aus government designed heavy-handed regulation which clearly plays favorites and is totally one-sided. This is not behavior that we should tolerate. I absolutely support Facebook standing up for themselves here.
Can you give an example of a non-copyleft open source product where the major improvement is proprietary?
If Facebook really wanted to fight the government it could unleash it's democracy crippling social network to hurt this toxic government we have here in Aus. Wink wink Zuck.

But seriously this is just regulatory capture from News Ltd. Our Government works for them. Corruption is becoming a real and visible problem in Australia these days.
It's because of the precedent effect.

Countries very much look to each other for policy guidance because nothing is better than having facts on the ground in deciding whether a policy works or not. We've seen it especially recently with COVID-19 responses.

Facebook/Google need to make sure that policies like this aren't enacted because whilst Australia is tiny, the US and the EU aren't and will adopt a similar policy if it works. And then suddenly it snowballs into something you can't stop.

I'm sorry but the problem statements really did not resonate with me. I felt like there was a very strict limited consideration for the existing tools, justifying breaking away, but the SpanEvent they came up with felt practically indistinguishable from the preexisting technologies they spent so long poo-pooing.
Agree with your first sentence.

Unless you're being sarcastic (apologies if so, and no mean to offend if not), I take the opposite conclusion though, which seems borne out by reality. Public messaging and for social cohesion in service of the greater good is the hardest problem affecting any large-scale coordinated response, especially with propaganda, doublethink, and flat-out unwillingness to learn being so common. I gather that the article the previous commenter mentioned was removed so that such propagandists couldn't willingly misinterpret it to pass on to their sycophants.
Unlike usual, this fake product at least is getting some comments about how it's fake.

But still there seems no emerging consensus it's fake, and this has been posted multiple time.

If nothing can be done about this egregious example, think about what happens to the other 99% of times where it's fake but it takes a little more thinking.
Ask HN: Quaternions to Euler angles i.e. (roll/pitch/yaw)
I have a position of the body. Its position is [x, y, z] and orientation as a quaternion vector [q0, qx, qy, qz]. (Note: This is defined in world frame of reference.)

Now, I want to convert this to orientation to a rotation matrix which transform a point from body-frame to world frame.

I haven't found exact definitions for this kind of conversion. Everybody just talks about rotation in general. And when orientation is defined, it is very difficult to get its detailed definition. I will really appreciate if anyone will provide a precise definition for this transformation?

Thank you.
That is how vaccines can work. I think that saying "more or less" is disingenuous, when there are also toxoid, subunit, or conjugate. None of these broad classifications mention the adjuvants that are present. Look at the mRNA vaccines that are being tested for sars-cov2, such as by Moderna. Vaccines are not always attenuated or inactivated.

I dunno if your plan is containers all the way down but for us it was literally docker-compose that was broken.

More important than immutable containers is repeatable builds. I need to be able to go back to a version in 12 months and build the exact same output avec a few changes. Containers don’t help with that.
Team's flexible micro-LEDs may reshape future of wearable technology
That feels like a pretty bad take on how to review changes. You might get better mileage by looking at the context each time. In this case its pretty clear that the Australian goverment is acting on behalf of specific vested news companies and NOT for the consumer...

It seems dangerous to have this kind of government-on-the-right-track reaction when the corporation cheering it on is in the business of fossil fuels, factory farming, or opiod manufacturing just because a different corporation yells loudly about it.
That is interesting how does that work where you have to sacrifice a shield per release?
CenturyLink outage led to a 3.5% drop in global web traffic
> Why is leftism the dominant ideology at most big tech companies?

It's not.

Big wage-labor-dependent investor-owned companies and leftism aren't particularly compatible.

Non-economic-class identity politics, a bourgeois distraction from leftism, are popular at many big tech companies, because they provide a veneer of progressivie image without seriously challenging, and in fact deflecting the most serious challenges to, the capitalist economic order.

Now, from the perspective of the far right this looks kinda like leftism since it's somewhere off to the left of the far right, and US political dialogue is shaped by the far right doing a very good job of shaping the media by working the refs over a period of decades.
Microsoft AirSim is a simulator for drones and cars based on the unreal engine. I created a modified version of the ROS wrapper provided by AirSim to solve the stereo images timestamps sync problem. Some modifications on the AirSim plugin are also made so that when combined with the ROS node and in Car SimMode, smaller than 1.0 ClockSpeed does provide "more dense" image timestamps now.

Along with the source code, an editable demo City simulation environment is provided to test the ROS wrapper (for linux only).

Feel free to try it.
I definitely agree. I should add more comments explaining what things like .T does--it's not that it's hard to grasp, but it might turn away newbies. Thanks for the suggestion!

> 1.5 (cm) or 1 imperial unit (half inch).

Can I ask why you consider consider 0.5 inches to be 'one unit' - but think 1.5 cm is not?

For me, a unit is akin to atomicity.

But units don't dictate what size something is or should be - that's what multiples are for.

> Measures where moving a cut to line up to whole cm is too far and I end up working with half and quarter centimeters or awkward counts of millimeters.

It's a poor tape measure that does not show mm.

Similarly it would be a poor tape measure that does not show 1/32 of an inch.

The fact that your measuring device shows these gradations doesn't mean your design needs to be aligned to any arbitrary subset of multiples / divisors though, surely?

> I guess the "trick" is that even though 1/16, 1/8, 1/4, and 1/2 inch are all technically divisions of an inch, they all function in practice as distinct whole units that are (typically) easily converted. So when you are doing work in that scale range you have many options to match what you are working with.

1/16th of an inch isn't just technically a division of an inch. : )

When you're working down to something tiny, both measurement systems will be able to represent absolute distances just fine - do we agree on that?

It's a matter of whether manipulating those numbers is easy or difficult (for me, working with wood almost always means working with integers - mm - so all calculations are delightfully easy). Refer my other post about the Leigh dovetail jig description of router bit and bush sizes - there's 4 different dividends in use in just that one short paragraph, so you have to convert them all to common denominators before doing any mental arithmetic with them.

Maybe suitable for small kids, but oversimplified.

1) The virus is not only in the lungs, but it is not important here, pass. Maybe insist on the fact it can be in the nose, to encourage people to put their mask on their nose.

2) Good observation

3) That the wrong part. Hot means that heat is trapped, but air definitely isn't, you wouldn't be able to breathe otherwise. That you can't breathe with masks is a common argument used by anti-maskers, and many times shown wrong. Masks can keep your breath closer to you in the sense that you don't project it as far because it makes it slower and more diffuse. It also has a chance to trap droplets containing the virus.

4) masks don't block your breath in fact surgical masks are more effective and more breathable than cotton masks. That's because surgical masks are optimized to stop viruses and let air through.

To be fair, the people who use enterprise software typically only understand a single-digit percentage of what the software needs to do, at best. If you asked them to design it, you wouldn't get a better result.

To properly architect enterprise software, you need to capture the competing needs and goals of hundreds of different roles in different departments. You will uncover underlying political and organizational issues that you will need leadership to sort out before you can ever start to determine the business-logic. To be successful, you have to be an expert at playing politics, business analysis, and mediating conflict.

I wouldn't say "enterprise software sucks"... more like, the lack of cooperation in many organizations sucks, and enterprise software puts a big spotlight on it.
In Europe the 'non mask' countries are doing better, in Spain you have to wwar one everywhere but the virus is not stopping what do ever, in countries like Finland where it's not mandatory the things are much better. Basically all the country's follow the same path here.
No, because the argument being made is that facebook is paying the news orgs less than they're owed. But the reality is that facebook is providing a free service to the news sites.

You normally have to pay someone for advertising. Facebook (and Google) give it away for free.

Why Not Square Error for Classification?
The article mentions the Old Testament, but there's also a hapax in the New Testament: the "daily" bread in the Lor'd Prayer ('Our Father'):

> Epiousios (ἐπιούσιος) is a Greek adjective of controversial meaning whose only recorded appearance is in the Lord's Prayer. Although it is traditionally translated as "daily" in the phrase τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον ("our epiousios bread"), most modern scholars reject that interpretation.

[…]

> The modern Catholic Catechism holds that there are several ways of understanding epiousios, including the traditional 'daily', but most literally as 'supersubstantial' or 'superessential', based on its morphological components.[14] […]

While I agree with the statement about selection bias of immigrants, I have to take issue with this part of your claim. The countries most relevant to tech companies (India and China) are very nearly (or entirely, depending on your standards) ethno-nationalist. India is currently trying for demographic change in Kashmir [1], and I won't waste your time repeating the plentiful coverage of China's efforts to maintain their 91.6% Han majority.

I mean, you can just read the original text. Section 108(a):

>It is hereby declared to be essential to the national interest to provide for the early completion of the "National System of Interstate Highways", as authorized and designated in accordance with section 7 of the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1944. It is the intent of the Congress that the Interstate System be completed as nearly as practicable over a thirteen-year period and that the entire System in all the States be brought to
simultaneous completion. Because of its primary importance to the national defense, the name of such system is hereby changed to the "National System of Interstate and Defense Highways". Such National System of Interstate and Defense Highways is hereinafter in this Act referred to as the "Interstate System".

When the main driving force is lobbying from an American multinational that pays no tax in Australia but controls 70% of our news (News Corp), and ABC, SBS and small independent news sources are specifically excluded... No, they're not on the right track.

I mean, that's even before you consider that there isn't really any logical consistency to the claims that Google and Facebook are making huge profits directly from Australian news content. It's just a ludicrous false assumption...
What Are Outliers and What Is Outlier Detection?
There's obviously a much deeper message here but gee whiz building vs maintaining a city sure feels like it has some basic parallels & similar tensions to adding to vs working on software projects. The mandate for growth is real.
The primary doesn't have a portal. The hospital does, but apparently I had to sign up while there (no one told me). Portals cost money, which raises prices and increases attack surface - not something I particularly like.

I swear we signed a release at the primary that they can request the record from anywhere, but so far it seems to be a big fiasco. I strongly question the training and professionalism that our doctors recieved. My kid suffered an SVT 48 hours after recieving 4 vaccines. While I acknowledge vaccines as generally safe and a great modern accomplishment, the staff seems to be brainwashed into thinking they are infallible. Everyone said it can't possibly be associated. Show me the VAERS and PubMed data then? Looks like I have to submit to VAERS and do the data analysis myself. Who knows, maybe I will be published in a journal if I find some strong correlation. No one else will try.
> It’s night and day between it and what would happen if other app stores were allowed to install unvetted Apps.

I don't see it, and I'm more skeptical because this statement treats speculation as fact.

Anecdotally, I'm a potential (and once!) Apple customer that will never consider using an iPhone or iPad solely because Apple has created and enforced rules that elevate their judgment over mine when it comes to what software I am allowed to install on a device I purchased. That is just completely unacceptable to me. The argument that restricting what I can do with my device somehow has value to their other customers with a similar model of device seems far-fetched. I suspect it has value to Apple because they want the 30% cut, not because they think customers would leave if they offered it.

I agree with you that Apple disallows other stores because they truly believe in their walled garden. But I believe in giving customers the ability to choose for themselves, knowing that some customers will make bad decisions, but also knowing some customers will do amazing stuff because they were given the freedom to do so. Perhaps I'm just not a customer that Apple cares about serving. It's a shame, because it leaves me stuck with Android and Google's ever-invasive Google Play Services.

I think you may be able to achieve some nice results by stacking a bunch of exposures of the same scene from different times throughout the day and then use some various blend modes and masking to "paint" with the light.
I don't see how, personally. There are tons of thriving open source non-copyleft projects. And there are tons of GPL violators who go on business as usual. I think perhaps copyleft licenses are overattributed to the success of such projects.

The Stock Market Has Never Been More Overvalued
I've been using voice commands on my android phone, in situations where I can't use my hands. Most often all I want to do is.

1. Start and stop a podcast.

2. Play music

3. Ask for the time

The phone understands me, but then android breaks the flow, so I have to use my hands.

1. It will ask me to unlock the phone first? I have gloves and a mask on. It won't recognize my face, and my gloves don't register touches. Why do I have to unclock the phone to play music in the first place.

2. It gets confused on which app to play the music/podcast on. Wants to open youtube app, or spotify, and so on ...

3. Not consistent. I can say the same thing, and sometimes it will do one things, and another next time.

4. If I'm playing a video, and I want to show it full screen. I have to maximize and touch the screen. Why can't it play full screen be default.
My six degrees of kevin bacon story: I met his neighbor once, they love him.
In some cases, it's worse. Some families that were able to buy properties have had them for so long they only owe taxes each year. Then some developers petition the city that those properties are vital, and they are granted eminent domain. Even if they are paid the amount of the suppressed values of their property, there's no way they can afford to do anything with that money. Plus, they are now forced out of the property that has been in their family for a long time.
We have a number of required fields that are generated in client-side JS and not present in the underlying HTML. Our best guess based on logs is someone walking through signup with devtools open, and then trying to replicate the requests. A day or two of reprieve whenever some funky change is made, like making the form element default to action="/a/url/that/bans/the/person" and then when JS loads and it detects more than 1000 pixels worth of mousemoves, replace the form action with the real signup endpoint.

It's a standard forum software with some plugins, all <form> elements are CSRF protected with a random value, etc.
