In Japanese there is no distinction between kanji and hanzi, they are the same thing, and written equally - 漢字.

In English, it would be most appropriate to call Chinese language characters hanzi, and Japanese language characters kanji, but this is an English distinction, not one in the native tongues that use these characters.

As the author of these drawings is Japanese, the correct term would be “kanji”, but the word “kanji” literally means “Chinese character”.

Not even close. The US started a war of aggression and this process is inline with silencing critics. In my opinion the US cannot be a dependable partner anymore. Not for security, not for trade and especially not as a defender of democracy. Maybe it never really was, but the nature of open information exchange certainly makes that more transparent.

That killed hundreds of thousands of people and you think someone who supplied evidence of wrongdoing had too much media time?
If my elementary school training was correct, that makes the Bible "non-fiction".

"Non-fiction has numbers", we were told.

I'm not sure Dewey attempts to separate fact from fiction -- just to categorize the author's intent (or assertion).

In addition to the Christian Bible, the "non-fiction" section also contains religious texts that refute it. And New Age crystal vibration harmonic ecstasy stuff. And Dianetics.

The wide disagreement on "fiction" vs "non-fiction" is probably not a solvable problem. See also: a world map, at any time in recorded history.
I don't think it's necessarily to do with machines necessarily being bad at this, but that dogs are incredible. A quote from the article:

Amazing.
These are features I actually use liquibase for. That's why I know about them.

About rollbacks: yes, they are not always useful and you can think of ways to avoid them. But these days when you can rollback a docker application upgrade with a few commands/clicks, this way you can also roll back the DB changes. Not all the changes require this, but there are many ways a schema upgrade can go. Datapoint: changing stored procedures/functions that should match the calling application's version. Yes, not everybody uses logic in the DB, but sometimes you need that performance.
> We, the UK, don’t decline extraditions on that basis

The UK is required by the terms of the treaty to decline extradition on that basis. From the treaty,[1]

> extradition shall not be granted if the competent authority of the Requested State determines that the request was politically motivated.

There's no doubt about the political nature of the prosecution, so there's no doubt about what the outcome should be, unless there are extra-legal considerations at play in the decision. We're all watching the answer to the following question be played out in real time: "Will the UK extradite a person for politically motivated prosecution in the US, in flagrant violation of the UK-US extradition treaty?"

I'm imagining a situation where a book was discovered to be an unequivocal lie, in its entirety. Something like the autobiography of Howard Hughes [1], where Hughes eventually said that he had no involvement, and did not know the writer. (This isn't actually the best example, because the book was pulled right before publication, but it's easy to imagine a scenario where it did get published. It came close.)

Your first point is off, people have switched camps to the right since last election, despite how hard this may seem to believe. They look at how childish the left has become and have decided the right is less evil.

The C ABI is stable. Any (normal) C compiler and a bunch of compilers of other languages can produce blobs which can be linked with each other, and by extension with C++ code with extern "C" declarations.
“Nobody ever needed rollback” is a very naive statement. Nobody needs rollback, until they do. And the one time you need it, having it will make up for ALL of the time spent on getting it set up correctly.

Properly having rollback and other safeguards in place allows you to move faster and make mistakes with less consequences. Everything is a trade off.

I'm sure there are large cost savings possible, Canada seems to spend about half as much on administration (17% vs 34%) [1]. While not quite four times as much, that'd still be significant, though whether it's guaranteed to have the same effect in the US is uncertain. Canada and the US may be neighbors, but they're quite different in culture.

Chris this is so cool! Earlier this year I was thinking about doing the same thing, mostly for making interactive CLI tutorials - similar to the Git tutorial you have in the examples. Then I tried with Jupyther notebooks, but it feels quite limited, and they are not as easy to work with as Markdown files.

I followed the installation instructions and it works super well! [The Gifs in the README already look promising, but it still lacks the empowered feeling you have when interacting with it.] There seem to be some rough edges, e.g. I bricked my session when enabling Docker probably because Docker wasn't available, but overall it all works super well.

Some small things w.r.t. presenting the project/idea:
- I nearly clicked away because there was no quick demo, merely pictures. In part because I scrolled over the install instructions - which could be fixed by a table of contents, but also because cloning and installing is quite a barrier when you still haven't seen much from the product.
- The website of ottomatica have some buttons which don't seem to do anything.

CB Simulator was basically IRC before that became a thing. It even had channels. Probably blew a few minds in 1980 though!
Yeap. It's basically semi-interactive, TV-on-demand and not much better. Theoretically, individual creators can start from nothing but they have no power when megacorps come along and claim videos they didn't make at all to extort creators. Depending on YT would be a huge liability.
It's causing disenfranchised citizens to believe in a global conspiracy to subvert a man with a trail of failed businesses and marriages, as well as, dictatorial aspirations. It should be treated as a Hollywood recycled plot, but people are actually buying into it. Buildings burning will be the least of our problems if it continues to spread.
Since you are the author and are interested in selling your idea, I would like to suggest some improvements for your video (written as paragraphs because formatting is not working right for me):

If you have multiple features you want to show, you are better served by small, focused videos showing specific aspects of the technology. Your "Workflow" video works really well in that sense. You could split your video into smaller "Who am I?", "Idea", "Clothing", "Case study", and "Video early demo", and dedicate each one to a specific demographic.

I think the use of memes is hurting you more than helping. I think the "Dancing Hitler" video works fine by itself, but I can imagine that the type of people who make hiring decisions are not going to bring a "Nicholas Cage as Trump" video to their bosses.

"Does that mean that anyone can steal my personality using my Facebook photo only? Yes, but..." <- Don't bring this up. Keep an answer prepared for an interviewer, but you don't need to give your detractors any ammunition against your project from the onset.

You really, really don't want to have the word "DeepFake" anywhere near a picture of Anne Frank. In fact, don't use her picture at all.

You say "the system was not designed by video", and then spend a couple minutes showing videos of the system doing okay at it. This is less than ideal: if you call your system "deepfakes 2.0", you want to show better results than the 1.0 version. Unless you can beat the "Nicholas Cage as Superman" video, I would advise you against it. As I suggested before, making a separate video out of it might be more practical.

As a final point: mapping a face into a 3D model and blending it correctly onto another body is a hard enough problem as it is, so congratulations on getting a working demo. If your objective is "get someone to buy this idea", everything else should gravitate around this single idea.
The reaction to it certainly was. You can see the paranoia on every airport or public place. Having security in every corner of the public sphere nurtures distrust and distrust is one of the worst poisons for democracy.

Like what? What life experiences have shaped their views to make them terrifying to liberals? I'm genuinely curious because the people most likely to have actual lived experiences to support "views which would terrify liberals" are generally liberal and live in cities while those who have "views which would terrify liberals" don't generally have very many relevant lived experiences to speak of.
Hearing aids are tremendously constrained with regards to power and mechanics. There is no way you will be able to get an FPGA in a hearing aid. An FPGA runnning complex DSP algorithms will:

1. Get hot. I don't want a +60C FPGA in my ear.

2. Eat up the battery. The batteries are small and fiddly to replace for an 85 year old with bad eyes and arthritis in the fingers. They should last for at least a week before needing replacing. No they are generally not rechargeable in the device. That would require a connector, which takes up precious volume. Wireless recharging requires a coil with the same problem.

3. Take up way too much PCB real estate. They are just too big to fit in your ear. Sure, you can run a wire to a box outside the ear, but that messes with the fashion statement. Most hearing aid users want small and discrete, so the world isn't reminded they have a disability.

Besides, why would you put an FPGA in there? Hearing aids already feature some of the most high-grade low-power DSP ASICs available, custom made for that companys DSP algorithms.
This page doesn't really demonstrate the product well. There are links to some other pages that show somewhat more complicated changes, but they still don't demonstrate any complex transformations or migrations. Maybe it can do these things; if so, and the author wants to sell people on its capabilities, they should be front and center.

XML is a non-starter for most people. I know this is a Java product, and Java developers have a perverse love affair with XML, but literally no one else uses it. The page mentions that changesets can be written in JSON and YAML, but there are no examples. XML is a horrid abomination and I have a viscerally negative reaction to seeing it. At least show something that doesn't cause PTSD to the viewer.

I've used Rails DB migrations (written in Ruby with ActiveRecord's DSL), Alembic (written in Python with SQLAlchemy's DSL), and roll-my-own pure SQL, and nothing beats SQL. You're working with a database, why not work with its language? Any migration of significant complexity requires the use of actual SQL, and trying to abstract that away just results in mixing languages and obscuring the change being made. It only takes a few lines of code to manage the versioning.
Have you heard of the BrightID project? I think it could be a pretty cool way to determine real identity without leaking info to the network at large.

They use conscious sedation for both. It's unlikely you got general because there are significantly greater risks involved with administering and recovering from general anesthesia. For conscious sedation, all they have to do is give you an oxygen mask (or the tube that sits under your nose, aka "nasal cannula").
I've personally not spent too much time fighting any migration tool. Configuring Alembic from scratch, for instance, takes about 5 minutes for separate dev and production databases (MySQL/SQLite). Code-generation comes as a bonus. There's 0 chance I'd trade a day of developer time to build an in-house tool re-creating 90% of what Alembic does, with its large audience use-testing it daily, stability and documentation.
Assange is very likely going away for life.
I'm no expert, so this could be wrong but I have a gut feeling that during descent it could probably idle-glide by using the high-lift device sooner. If anybody was serious about flying with less emissions that could probably save lots of energy already today - it would just take longer to reach the target.
It would be interesting to see numbers how the gravitational potential energy compares to the drag forces.
Help me understand what your rationale is. Are you saying that SQL + source control is good enough? Do you think it's a fools errand to build tools like this which add additional abstraction layers for schema revision?

> In Australia a significant amount (can't remember the specifics) of cattle is raised on land that is unsuitable for crop production.

I'm not sure how that makes anything better. It will still require more carbon emissions than growing elsewhere. In fact raising cattle in a spot like you describe still well require growing the feed elsewhere. Wouldn't it be much better to just eat the soup or other crop directly, save the carbon emissions and give the land the cattle are on back to mother nature and turn it into a wildlife refuge?

Not all manufacturers allow this, and even then, it adds considerable user complexity to have to do this to install Linux, as opposed to a normal liveUSB GUI flow, not to mention that it screws up dual-boot, as you said. So, it is practically a requirement, even if it is technically possible to work around it with good technical skills on specialized hardware.
As someone who built (and sold) a company in this space, your solution works for the vast majority of relatively simple databases. However, lots of legacy/enterprise/custom apps have freakishly complicated schemas running on databases that have been so over-engineered as to create problems for themselves (cough Oracle *cough).

In practice, you end up having lots of complex restrictions - you have to change your schema definition slightly between dev and prod, because your dev box is linux and your prod machine is AIX and there's a bug in your dbms on AIX. You can't just drop stored procedures, because rebuilding them takes 30 minutes of downtime you can't allow for. Or you have security policies on data in prod that changes the table definition.

In an ideal world you wouldn't need these things, but once you have a complicated enough system, you basically have to have a tool that does your database release management.
