At my middle school, you could enroll in an afterschool prep class for TJHSST, run by the school. (And a large fraction of the GT students did!)

If you live in Fairfax County [where the school is located], it would be almost impossible to not have heard about TJHSST if you were in middle school.

I'm actually amazed (maybe I shouldn't) that face retouch became so universal in most (all?) contemporary smartphones with seemingly no ethical considerations.

How could the likes as samsung switch this feature on by default like it was some minor optimization?

How many customers did you gain because you didn't require them to turn a switch on? Was it worth it?
Right you are. I stand corrected on that point. I think the rest of the comment is still valid.
Yeah, this is the source code: https://github.com/URSolarSplash/Telemetry-Server. The version uploaded there is transmitting at ~4hz but we cranked it up to a much faster transmit loop when necessary. A few interesting files:

The main server loop: https://github.com/URSolarSplash/Telemetry-Server/blob/maste...
The device implementation for our hand-rolled serial protocol: https://github.com/URSolarSplash/Telemetry-Server/blob/maste...

In classic "college engineering project" fashion, the project is rather disorganized and very specialized to the technology we used on our boat at the time. Our telemetry server had an in-memory cache of latest data points which were relayed over serial with all the telemetry nodes. We used the telemetry system to carry throttle and all other control signals for the boat. We replicated all the data points to a secondary server running on a shore computer, so we had two separate sources of data logs.

I will note that since building that system, my philosophy has changed several times -- Today, I would likely not roll our own telemetry protocol, instead using something like https://msgpack.org/index.html or going all-in and using ROS on a larger project.

If you're interested in chatting more, feel free to send me an email (my username @ gmail). It's always great to see others go through the same experimental process with telemetry and data collection systems! (Also, check out bps.space on youtube, who has done a lot with telemetry on model rockets.)
Scaling open source by creating potential - David Nolen
Also there seem to be fewer disruptive startups these days.
> We set out to better understand the effect filtered selfies might have on people’s wellbeing—especially when filters are on by default. We conducted multiple studies and spoke with child and mental health experts from around the world, and found that when you’re not aware that a camera or photo app has applied a filter, the photos can negatively impact mental wellbeing. These default filters can quietly set a beauty standard that some people compare themselves against.

Hm, I find myself unable to say whether I agree or not. I would say I am 70% confident that these filters can negatively affect people's wellbeing (based on my intuition/bias), and 15% confident that we can get a scientifically valid answer to that question (based on the track record of social psychology and related disciplines).
Good ruling. The employee isn't property of the startup.
Honestly, the customers don't need nanosecond accuracy, but the NICs offer it, and the nanoseconds in a second fits neatly in 32 bits.

In practice, microseconds is better than enough, and all you get from PTP anyway.

I'm unsure if the complaint about the timing attack makes sense in the uint64 version. I know that you're supposed to use "constant time" algorithms for security, so i'd be interested to hear if my thinking on this is wrong. Does the uint3/uint6 timing attack work with uint64?

I've "greyed" bits coming off of random radio waves from the atmosphere in order to test randomness; the drivers i was using for the particular radio didn't allow on-the-fly amplifier adjustments, so if there was, say, a lightning strike within 50 miles, the front-end would get overloaded and "blank" - send mostly zeros, even with incredibly fast AGC control. So entropy wasn't guaranteed unless i could guarantee there wasn't lightning within some predetermined distance of the receiver (as an aside, i have this capability now) - thus for long (96 hour) runs to gather entropy, i'd have to fiddle the output to ensure uniform distribution.

Now, with all that said, there was a side channel attack; if there was a lightning storm or other sort of high energy event near my receiver, an "attacker" could determine that the algorithm to ensure uniformity was contributing more to the bits than the atmospheric noise. Possibly.

Why are you amazed? If all professional photos are retouched, then this is the standard that people will hold themselves to, and their pictures seem nasty by comparison.

Yes, The Chinese college entrance examination has been the only hope for the huge amount of people in poverty(cheat and corruption are surprisingly rare) and the brightest ones get full PHD scholarship in the US. For those people financial safety is absolutely the No.1 concern. I’d say discrimination aside, the huge hope from their family is also a strong motivation.

Btw as someone who went through the preparation of the exam in China(tried 2 times actually), the last year of high school is like a living hell. My teacher was yelling at the class “it’s 6:30am already and the classroom is still not full. Do you fking want to go college?”

I don’t blame her, one point difference in score turns out to be 2000+ people in the regional ranking
No you wouldn't.

Cornering G is lateral.

That doesn't pull blood from the brain. Not to say it's exactly FUN, but it won't cause you to black out.
Security is one advantage. If you're running a server with multiple containers and you're concerned about attackers taking over one of those then you can isolate them more from each other and the rest of the system using VMs.

(Addendum: I'm not that experienced when it comes to container tech and I heard you can isolate your containers pretty well these days. Virtualization has also changed over time and isn't as "isolated" as it was once; for example virtualized guests are often executed directly on the host's CPU. I'd definitely look into this more before deciding on one approach.)

> The problem with psychedelics is they only make you "more" of what you are.

Not sure about "only" but I do think it's a valid thing to be aware of. It's only one half of the classical "set and setting" and the latter is really key. Are you doing it alone / who are you doing it with?

> these are extremely dangerous substances that can cause trauma and other serious psychological problems if not used extremely specifically and carefully

Don't know about this one either. I think it's certainly true that it can trigger latent trauma that hasn't been dealt with. But that's by no means a guarantee.

My take with this sort of stuff is that it's not really healthy to have an absolutist prohibitionist approach nor a free for all. I think the right approach is for interested parties to gently ramp up in the setting of an experienced sitter who can help reorient them.

> This isn't something you can do on your own.

This is probably the only part of your statement I'd categorically disagree with. Again, depends on the person, the set and the setting. Highly situational. Don't know if it's helpful to try and oversimplify this kind of thing.
I suspect this kind of attitude -- that gifted programs are problematic because they imply some students are not gifted -- is the main reason why the US falls behind many other countries in measures of education quality.

Not everyone is equally good at school! Just like how not everyone is equally good at sports! We should plan around this, not drag everyone down to the lowest common denominator so we can convince ourselves it isn't true.
That's why MotoGP is so much more interesting. Not unusual to see multiple passes for the lead on the last lap alone, and the top, say, 8-10 riders to be within a couple seconds at the finish.
I highly highly highly doubt this is the explanation is true.

F1 is way over regulated with ridiculous rules, crushing innovation and free thinking. Honda knows just as well as everyone else that the technology developed there has trickled down into consumer ICE engines and made them superior in terms of carbon expenditure.

Hell of a marketing spin.
>It's good that you acknowledge your (or so I assume) skepticism of the concept as such.

Personally, I'm skeptical only to a philosophical level, as I am critical of both liberalism and the state, and in particular how the state would exercise its blunt power if free speech protections were weakened. In practical terms, I'm in favour of freedom of speech.

> Pretending that the exceptions which do not relate to political speech are relevant or even interesting is almost in bad faith, however.

My point was more to get accross the idea that there are political theories of free speech (actually implemented or not) which (1) have what is called a "free speech principle", that is, an explicit endorsement and guarantee, to some or any extent, of the right to speak freely (2) enshrine this principle into a law, or suggest that it should be enshrined.

>Things which you cannot say which are non-political are curiosities, things for lawyers to get excited about.

They're also interesting in philosophical thought experiments and determining the value and extents of free speech - most imporantly in the idea of consistency. If threatening letters are disallowed, for instance, what implications does this have, speaking in terms of principles, for more "interesting" sorts of speech? It may have no implications (according to one theory of justification) but it may have far-reaching implications for another.

>But "hate speech", which you offhandedly list among other largely irrelevant forms of expression, should most certainly be covered by any serious definition of free speech.

My point in listing the exceptions was to say that if there is some exception, any exception, it means the rule is not absolute, and caveats can be made under certain circumstances. For example, incitement to immediate and direct violence is often an "uninteresting" exception. This is because violence is a kind of harm. However, the law also recognizes various other forms of harm (such as psychological harms). Which harms should or shouldn't be included, and why?

The question that 1A scholars and political philosophers have tried to answer is what, precisely, the exceptions should be, what the existing exceptions may allow scope for (copyright infringement? child pornography? cyberbullying? obscenity? defamation? - by no means uninteresting), and in general, whether we should have a fundamental law to guarantee freedom of speech at all. I think they're valid questions, and I think that too often we take ideas such as free speech allowing hate speech (however those two things are defined[0]), or free speech being worth the cost of hate speech, for granted.

[0] To paraphrase Susan Brison, these are hard to define. That's okay, we can talk about it. We don't have to write the law before we can discuss whether there could be alaw.

> 1. Why aren't problems visible?

Can you actually see the almost complete failure of garbage disposal and recycling in your community? You cannot, because the failure doesn't happen there (mostly), and because most of us are not interested enough to ask (or research) the questions we would need to in order to understand how badly the people tasked with taking care of this have screwed it up.

> 2. Why don't people "act on [lack of transparency] and actually vote"?

Right now, I live in a mostly rural county in New Mexico. Before that, I lived right on the edge of Philadelphia, 300 yards outside the city line but closer to downtown than most of the city. I've lived in lots of other places too, both in the US and Europe, even Israel. In all of those places, a local vote is vote for someone who will be extremely constrained by the status quo and the larger political entities the surround us. So sure, I could vote for someone who might take some steps to improve a particular aspect of how the county/city/town/village deals with this or that, but it will always be taking place within the context of legislative, economic, energetic and social forces that are much, much harder to change. This can make it challenging to see the virtue of local elections, and thus to care about them in a way the reflects the extent to which we do actualy care about our communities.

That's because of statutory restrictions (the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) on surveillance of citizens adopted in the wake of the foreign intelligence apparatus being broadly used against domestic opposition, not Constitutional limits on rights to citizens.

Trillions of dollars are traded every day via custom FPGAs.

Similar reputational damage greeted employees of Arthur Andersen.

The other thing that makes MotoGP much more interesting are that the races, being a good bit shorter, are made without pitstops.

So the driver wins on the track, and not the pit crew in the pits.
These are also not terms of venery, as OP repeatedly claims. That usage died out in the fourteenth century, and ever since the term has referred to pursuit of sexual pleasure (cf.

Im from the same uni, but from a different department. The project is famous as well as notorious for the commitment required.

Jp uni students typically write a thesis in the fourth/final year (is it called senior in the US?). This project is for the third year (junior in the US?). Probably there is also a difference between a (e.g. mechanical) engineering and a CS department. A typical CS conference paper does not need 1.5 year from initiation to publication, while I understand a mech work will need a lot more time. I moved from B.Eng to CS. With a proper guidance that lets a student focus on a particular subject (a research theme is given by the advisor), they do incredible work, although they may not have a broader view of the research field yet.

> These students are obviously smarter than the average student,

And yes these national university students are the top brains of the country. BTW, I am very sad that typical Japanese corporate organization basically rejects them as they are too smart and do not fit in their age-based structure. The author is in Microsoft anyways.

It isn’t just IRC as a service. There are numerous other small design decisions that add up to a productive product. I feel like comparing it to IRC is a massive trivialization of Slack and doesn’t recognize why it succeeded where other products didn’t.

I also don’t think investors didn’t anticipate threats from bigger players. It’s more that it is unfair that Microsoft can get away with blatant copycat products. The leadership and employees at Microsoft aren’t better at any of this than Slack’s, and in fact they are almost certainly worse than those who worked through the grueling startup journey to get Slack to where it got. But Microsoft has capital, the ability to soak up losses (without needing to climb the mountain of acquiring customers/learning/clawing a way to revenue and profit), lots of existing Office customers to pivot onto Teams, and the ability to bundle products.

To put it another way, if Microsoft wasn’t Microsoft, Teams would be no different than another random Slack competitor. But they’ve reached big success without the same degree of hard work, innovation, and struggles as Slack or others. The fact that Teams is as successful as it has become is evidence that lopsided capital (and other traits of mega corps) breaks the notion of a fair free market with healthy competition - an environment that assigns success where it is most deserved.
Explanations that are explanatory tend to be used to explain things.

As a peon individual, I find it incredibly hard (and it gets harder every day) to live an honest, kind and compassionate life when I see this sort of thing happening. I am influenced not by greed or power, but by the view that if I'm not defensive with regards to myself and those that I hold dear, I will be consumed by a combination of the corporate and legislative entities conspiring to make me (and everyone like me) a peon to their desire.
> Edit: Example: I couldn't take a picture of the smoke on the West coast recently. The dark grey and orange skies would all come out looking blue or something. It's like the 'camera' is telling me I'm f'ing crazy for taking a picture of smoky skies, and surely I want to pretend the smoke isn't there at all! That's why I'm taking a picture right? So I can pretend that reality isn't real. I have no photos that match the smoke. I have only my memory and other people's photos. WTF.

That was due to automatic white balance, which is perhaps the most basic and low-tech automatic adjustment on your phone. We're talking deep AI tech from the 90s, if not earlier.

I ran into the same problem on that day, so I googled "iphone manual white balance", got an app that looked decent (Obscura), and took my pictures without issue. Try that next time. (But get another app, Obscura literally takes half a minute to load for some reason.)
