> Why then a quadcopter is the default shape for smaller drones?

Because somebody, somewhere published the first opensource autopilot code, and that first code was for the quadcopter.
It doesn't have to happen more. It only has to happen once.
Brother Laser Printers...its the apple of printers. Just works!
That sounds pretty effective
have you try NoiseToch ? it's a dumb to use AI noise filter (like the NVIDIA filter) that works over pulse audio. It's very impressive.
The two are not two different worlds. Screen-readers might be able to function off a semantic skeleton. But, as the author mentions, tools like Vimium are just going to be forever screwed over, totally shot the hell out of the water, by this post-hypertext abomination. CanvasKit!!!!!!!!!!
I was looking into this last year, but couldn't really find anything similar here in Sweden (or anywhere in the EU). I wonder if there are some regulation here banning ultra high lumen bulbs? The closest match have been on semi-sketchy sites, where they've been ≈ 300 euro for 10k lumen...

How expensive are they in the US?

Are you specifically referring to inkjet printers? Because laser printers are pretty close to "Accurate, reliable, minimal maintenance".

If you're focused on inkjets, if what you're saying is true, it's overshadowed by the predatory practices employed by printer manufacturers. Practices that make it easy to conclude that printer issues are more about planned obsolescence and selling more ink than they are about difficult engineering problems.
I think it's a bigger reflection of the fact that there is absolutely zero incentive to lower these alerts and that the police, who inform the threat level, generally benefit greatly from the "temporarily" expanded privileges from higher levels.
yeah... except both "app" and "mic" pulseeffect devices appear under "output devices" and there is no additional input device... it appears that the standard mic input is being modified without being a second device, so I'm not 100% sure what the other devices are for, if it just in-place modifies existing devices.
I would think IETF would be the ideal choice.

If I were to pick a second place it would be IEEE. I don't think it would be a good idea to hand it to W3C, as this is at a layer+ lower than they would typically operate.
I suppose one could take it to mean avoiding public venues, public transportation, or other potential targets.
It seems to me like poor diplomacy between two nations with a slight power imbalance. It should be about mutual trust and respect.

I have more power, I will use it. I have less power, what can I do, I'll just have to accept it.
I've been using for the last 5 years, inkjet with integrated printer cartridge (With this type, the nozzle plate (printhead) is built into the side of the cartridge) no problem so far
demography is completely different there, there is a large muslim population in Western Europe
The terrorist threat has always been to scare people into trading freedom for "security", i.e. more control over the populace and more contracts for security subcontractors. You have more of a chance of being struck by lightning.
There are still many ways for laser printers to suck. My Samsung C460, for example, gets a paper jam just about every other sheet. Or imagines a paper jam, because quite often there's no problem at all, but it complains anyway.

I also suspect that just about any wireless printer will suck when used with Windows. Windows certainly has a lot of trouble finding mine.
FYI it's Claire Wolfe now.
No. Martin is dead. The prosecutor could not bring any affirmative defense for Trayvon Martin because he was not there to argue Stand Your Ground. Hence the statement "dead men can't speak". The prosecutor could and did bring circumstantial evidence, but ultimately Zimmerman could claim stand your ground and successfully argue it.

Whatever else you are applying to the situation is entirely in your mind and does not apply to facts of the case.
Cardelli's definitions are extremely odd; if you take them literally then Python is type safe but Java is not.

In everyday language a downcast, even a checked one, is not a type-safe operation, and so to the extent that Go's limited type system makes it impractical to write programs without downcasts I'd say that Go is fundamentally type-unsafe.
It reminded me of the famous time cube website: https://timecube.2enp.com/
The goal isn't to tax the rich, it's to internalize the costs of running a functioning society where those corporations and its members can actually exist.
> They always claim it's in the name of security

Like pretty much everything that goes against the user and people are way too quick to accept anything that has the word "security" applied to it.
Well I suppose any form of discouragement is pointless if it is not recognised and acted upon.
The key is to buy a Brother with all of:

- ethernet

- BR/Script3 (their PostScript clone)

- duplex

This advice has been good for the last 12 years or so. I never install their drivers; I just tell CUPS that there's a Brother in PS mode with a duplexer at a particular IP address, and then there's no further issue.
It seems odd that you assume the goal of regulating a monopoly must be to encourage competition and consumer choice, ie. breaking up the monopoly, directly or indirectly. Why is enforcing reasonable prices and business practices not an allowable goal?
My recently bought inexpensive Brother printer worked with CUPS without any special drivers, thanks to the IPP support. I just connected it to the network and it's automatically discovered and supported.
Does AWS raise prices like this (I know Oracle does - OUCH).

I've yet to be hit by one of these price increases and have been on AWS since the beginning. Until I migrated they supported my SimpleDB app FOREVER (I mean, it wasn't even on website at one point but the calls still worked!).

A small part of AWS success must be because of this confidence they will stick around, keep a service running.
Perhaps this is due to people taking the threat level seriously?
This applies to pretty much any other computer-related thing sold to non-tech people. They either don't care or don't have the skills to judge the quality, so a better quality but more expensive product will always lose in favour of the cheapest crap.
This is actually incorrect. Investment is not tax deductable. Invest all your salary in an S&P500 index fund as a tax deduction?

Business expenses are tax deductable. Investment is not.

Yes I'm completely aware that this is one of Amazon's stated defences for tax dodging. Tax dodging is their core competency. I hate that.
Yup, positive. I went and checked immediately before posting, to confirm that the situation had not changed since I last checked about 3 months ago.

And I'm not in an outlying city in LA county; I'm right in the west side of the City of LA, less than 2 miles from UCLA, very close to Century City.
> I would argue that the telemetry, updates and theming are not major concerns for Windows customers

This assertion is based on a false premise. It can be a concern, but people don't know how to address it, or are ridiculed for caring about something that is not readily provable (except in retrospect, if that).
isn't he all about resveratrol as well?

It is a sad case. But even more sad is our desire to know but the guy may be trying to escape from us all.

The problem of madness is you know your desire to know is not right but still you go on. Whilst I understand the argument in the article someone love him may want to know what happened. Still, should we respect his seemingly intent to avoid all theses.

Or are we all mad in a sense.

P.S. finally nailed it why china want dna so much. No need all but if have sufficient database the match to one’s relatives is sufficient.
Given it is followed by "Roach Motel (area/?quest)", it seems more likely this is something from a game idea.
It's useful in that it raises the alert level in the general population (in addition to the more cynical motives posited by others).

"crying wolf" or "alertness fatigue" might be an issue if this was a frequent thing, but it isn't.

It also presumably can be timed to coincide with recent attacks when there is genuine intelligence; the events in the news acting as cover for the intelligence which doesn't necessarily need to be acknowledged as a reason for raising the level.

It is a pretty good technique for expanding police powers. You allow them to do more stuff, but only when the level is high enough. Nobody will object because objecting to emergency measures looks bad. Then, whenever something bad happens you just increase the threat level. When you reach the top, "reform" the system to add higher levels.
I think you're being incredibly optimistic if you believe it's possible to build a machine both complex enough to house a fully simulated human consciousness and robust enough to last billions or even thousands of years.

Bits rot, things break down, and it tends to happen to technology more quickly in most cases than to the human body. The more complex technology is, the faster it fails. We measure the life cycle of our most modern tech in months, not centuries.

The idea that you're going to surf the universe in an immortal, inviolate android body untouchable by aeons of time is closer to a religious hope than likely reality.
That was his area of focus about a decade or so ago. It turned out not to be as exciting as many thought it would. There are some benefits to TransResveratrol, but not what people were hoping for. Here is an interview with Dr. Rhonda Patrick and he talks about longevity genes. [1] I believe he covers TransResveratrol here. He also talks about reversing the Horvath Clock and reversing damage to optic nerves.

Warning: HP has bought Samsung printer division few years ago. As a result, there are HP-branded printers that are really Samsung inside, and they need the uld driver, which is binary-only abandonware. So caveat emptor.

It's actually because order item status changes, and people get angry when third party sellers cancel things in an email that implies the order is confirmed. So instead they dynamically change the order resource in the UI, and send dumb notification emails to let you know of changes to state.

>”reform” the system to add highet levels

when did this happen exactly?
Exactly. Which renders the logic behind the experiment false. But since the insight was true, it eventually led to experiments that yielded true results. (Notice I didn't say the insight was false, I supported your idea by emphasizing that even false insights can be useful.)
I believe they are thinking along the lines,first there was the attack in France which kicked this series off (2 is not yet a series, I know), then here in Vienna, which the attackers seemingly expedited due to the corona lockdown coming into effect today. So changing the schedule gave them a glimpse of what is yet to come elsewhere where they didn't have to change their timeline

ActiveX is still available on Windows 10, it has nothing to do with security aside from being shoved into IE4 as a way for Microsoft to lock the web into Wintel back when Java's crossplatform-ness was seen as threatening to their desktop dominance - and thus gaining a bad name because it really wasn't designed for such a use.

ActiveX is just a standardized way to embed controls, in practice it isn't any difference than any desktop application that has support for plugins nor any less (or more) safer than that. COM in general is just a standardized form of a plugin system with a bunch of predefined interfaces (or binary protocols if you want) for applications that weren't written with each other in mind to still be able to work together and share functionality.

I had the same thought. There should have been a play where you were the trusted metadata layer (across clouds even), but allowed actual images to come from S3, GCP, Azure directly (ie, serve metadata + hashes / signatures). Obviously AWS and everyone would spin up their own mirrors, lots of bandwidth would be saved (by Docker too) and they would still have a role in the center.
Also in Sweden - there is this Danish shop :

13.5K for about 400 usd. So it it must at least be legal in EU?
They also have 14.8K if you go up 1 level.

Well, you began by saying that "monoliths are universally bad in every imaginable way." You're now saying that a select few poorly-maintained, 25-year old monoliths are bad, which is an entirely different claim. That doesn't really prove that microservices are any better (are 25-year old poorly maintained clusters of services really going to be an improvement?). Let alone "better in every imaginable way."
I think what it does is raise people's alertness levels for a while, until they regress back toward the mean. That threat level is like a volume knob you can use to make a whole society clench up, sweating out cortisol. I wonder how it is officially announced, and what the physical causal chain is from decision to wide distribution of volume knob state? I wonder how many of these there are, and how closely they are watched and anticipated, and if it wouldn't make a fun website to collect all of them together.
> Really, it's just a reflection of the times we're in right now.

How so? Looking at charts like [1] or [2] it seems current threat levels should be much lower than in the time before 2001. Notable terror attacks in the UK have gone from a regular occurance to a once-in-a-decade deal.

I think a middle ground would be that it's fine to start with a belief about how something might work (also known as a hypothesis), after all that's the first step in the Scientific Method. But crafting a hypothesis without a subsequent experiment to prove or disprove it is just wasted breath. As the adage goes, claims that are made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

This. Termux is a great AIO app for a lot of apps available on the Play Store. I use it for running kubectl, ssh, scp, rclone, rsync, etc.. if there is a ARM binary it will most likely run in Termux.
Probably not helpful, but "Mostly Harmless" is also the title of Rob Rhinehart's personal blog[1]. Rhinehart's 2013 posts about his nutrition experiments under the "Mostly Harmless" title, led to the founding of Soylent.com and the modern meal replacement industry.

So just possibly MH was a fan of Soylent, or of DIY Soylent.

[1] https://www.robrhinehart.com/

Edit: on this notebook page[2] are the words Algae Pool and Nutrigs (nutrients?)

The pages[3]-[4] seems devoted to planning or documenting an energy-bar recipe. Similar fascination with the nutritional details of artificial foods are expressed by hobbyists who dabble in DIY Soylent recipes, see for example [5], [6].

On this basis I think it at least credible that MH was aware of Soylent and DIY attempts at complete-nutrition foods, so might have learned the "Mostly Harmless" title from Rhinehart's blog.

Which is no help whatever in identifying him, but interesting.

The idea is that you want to split your data as a sum of three parts:

(a) a smooth function that is not interesting

(b) noise

(c) a big unexpected peak in an interesting part

There is a nice preprint posted a few days ago: https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.09761 https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.09761.pdf

They reanalyze the data than in the phosphine paper.

---

If you look at figure 3, they have the data that is the skyscraper-like line, and they use a polynomial of degree 3 to approximate the signal, that is that curved unhappy smooth line.

The smooth line is (a), when you subtract this smooth function, you get the other part of figure 3, that is the noise (b). There are some high and low parts, but nothing too high or low that look special. So their conclusion is that there is no interesting part (c).

---

If you look at figure 2, top left, they use a slightly smaller interval, but now they use a polynomial of degree 12 instead of a polynomial of degree 3. This is the smooth function (a).

This is a reconstruction of the process in the original paper. They fit the polynomial using the data, but excluding the central part.

The problem with the polynomial of degree 12 is that is has too much freedom, so it fits the actual smooth curve, but it also fit the noise.

The polynomial of degree 3 has to go somewhat in the middle of the data, because it can't go up and down too many times. The polynomial of degree 12 can follow the local bumps and fit the noise.

When you subtract the polynomial of degree 12 you get the the graph in the third row, with the noise that is (b). It is copied in Figure 2, and it is very similar to the graph in the original paper.

Since the polynomial of degree 12 fit the noise, the noise is too small, so you underestimate the noise level.

And since the central part was skip in the fit, in some case you get a big bump like here. It is bigger than the apparent level of noise so it looks like an unexpected peak (c).

But here the problem is that you are comparing the peak with the surrounding noise level, but the noise level is underestimated because the polynomial of degree 12 overfit.

---

They repeat the same kind of analysis in other regions, and they get a few additional fake peaks. This are the other 5 graph it the top of Figure 3.

If by "mountains of glass" you mean "landfilled", then yup.

It's not well-understood that municipal recycling requires private contractors to bid on the waste stream, and if they can't make money on it, it all gets landfilled like the good old days. At least consumers are now trained to separate it.

Those can grifters are likely the real recycling heros of our time. Make it easy for them to find them.

Yeah i know about KParts, however KParts is more limited and the tech is only about KParts whereas COM is used for a lot of things, including even stuff unrelated to the GUI (e.g. Active Scripting). In addition COM defines a binary interface for accessing objects that can be supported by any programming language that can support structs and pointers whereas KParts is only for C++.
Am I reading correctly that since 2006 it has never gone below "SUBSTANTIAL"?

From their description:

SUBSTANTIAL means an attack is likely

SEVERE means an attack is highly likely

CRITICAL means an attack is highly likely in the near future

Saying an attack is at least "likely" for 14 straight years is definitely going to cause fatigue. I might be misunderstanding it and hopefully they just mean those specific days there was a risk and every other day they didn't think there was.

But why then would they bother having a level for "LOW means an attack is highly unlikely" if they only flagged risky days? If it weren't constantly elevated wouldn't they flag the vast majority of dates as "LOW"? I think that no, they are flagging every day as having a terrorist attack "likely"!
Little know fact, you can specify the type in a stream variable declaration. This helps the IDE (and the next guy) figure out what you're trying to do:

If there is a ARM64 binary, it will most likely run in Termux. I use it with helm, kubectl, rclone, ssh just to name a few.

ssh is the most used for me because I don't want to use Termius (paid) or some other SSH wrapper app. Termux is free, allows you to easily create ssh keys and use ssh-copy-id.
