Optical touchscreens! Underutilized technology, IMO. I had a very small part to play in the development of the FlatFrog display system which uses the same approach but inside the glass, using the fact that touching the screen alters the internal reflection properties. https://www.flatfrog.com/inglass

I was one of the contract IC designers involved in the custom chip which is deployed all round the display to illuminate/measure. A little single-purpose DSP with an ARM on the side.

"extensions that pull in code remotely can no longer get past the review process"

When Google says "pull in code remotely" they dont mean from a remote server. Instead its 'code remote to Google' aka code you wrote yourself sitting on your hard drive. This kills greasemonkey/tampermonkey and all the other UserScript extensions. Google saw how great Apple is doing and fell in love with the concept of walled garden. Its their browser and they wont let you execute any code that wasnt approved by them.

User Agent no more, Its Google Agent now.

>The idea of the 80 year generation related cycles is interesting. But your tangent about you don't like some narrow climate change 8.5 scenario means it's just some kind of a scam is just wrong. And you kind of go back and forth on whether climate change is real or not. I can't follow your arguments.

I would find this characterization of my position on climate change to be quite inaccurate. I will take the blame for being unclear in my text.

The point about climate change I was making, there's clearly some BS happening and has happened by people like Al Gore. These actions have made climate change look political and not scientific. If climate change is the impending end of the saeculum that's about to kill a boatload of people. I think we won't be ready.
This doesn't seem like very good advice when it comes to logging frameworks. You really don't want to roll your own.

It's the same as any DRY or optimised code: taking time and effort to make things overly DRY or optimised up front is a waste, building stuff out and then refactoring when you realise it's going to be repeated is a better workflow. With tailwind, that's simple because you take your string of class names, slap an @apply on it, and then use the new classname instead. No, it's not significantly different from just writing CSS then, but it's the workflow that's changed that reduces the friction between prototyping and then refactoring into a reusable design that makes Tailwind nice to work with in my experience (and I'm using it for a large-scale commercial project, not a landing page or static site).

OK, I understand the individual incentives at play here. But the institution also has a governing body and other stakeholders interested in actual results, right? If they see that someone else has made a breakthrough and it looks like a very promising method, it seems logical you should check if it really works and if it does, improve it in order to make clinical studies possible and hopefully one day benefit the patients, no? Otherwise, what is the point of sharing cancer research if nobody is interested in replicating the important studies?

Well, if you look closely Scrum is a waterfall system. "Classical" waterfall just works on larger chunks - releases or even whole projects. Scrum focuses on "sprints" - small chunks of functionality - but still applies tiered, waterfall approach: you start a sprint with planning, move to development, run quality controls and deploy.

You should see waterfalls in your Scrum. The only question is whether the chunk size you apply the waterfall on is appropriate

My feeling is that they were the perpetrators, but not those who were actually responsible for what happened.

And lack of knowledge about Prospect Theory.
Employees who own shares before the IPO are often prevented from selling them right as the company IPO, that's the lockup period. After this period (often 6 months), they are allowed to sold their shares. The reasoning of GP is that a lot of shares will be sold right after the lockup expires (because employees want to cash-in/diversify), artificially depressing the price.

Any implementation of memory that's ever existed uses measurable physical quantities/states to represent information, not the other way around. Also, (in classical mechanics to keep it simple) it all comes down to position, momentum, and fields. E.g "size" and "composition" is determined by the positions of particles, etc. So in a way the answer to where those properties are stored is right there.

If you don't think the universe can intrinsically have its own state, but it needs to be stored elsewhere, then there are a couple of issues. If this memory can only have the properties of the universe and no more, and can't be observed, it might as well not exist. If it has other possible states, then it's circular, and you'll need some memory one level up to store the state of the memory. So if you believe in nested simulations, I suppose your questions could be answered up to the "root" universe.

Whether there is some "external" memory that actually stores all the state in the universe is at least for now pure metaphysics. Do you think anyone on Earth could possibly answer this question today?
Yes, this time it is digital so it's hopeless and since someone may get into a long dispute over product placements, every app should be equally likely to be bringing in protocols that are purely for ads. The only solution is to let the distributor just remove all information that might inform our decisions.

What do you consider false beliefs? How many of the beliefs you have have you individually verified that they come from properly vetted facts and are properly interpreted too?

Majority of our beliefs are vulnerable to "peer review". There is nothing negative about that, because otherwise, we'd all be spending time verifying everything anybody says.

The only thing I am saying is that you should not try to discredit anyone for holding a set of beliefs, because we are all guilty of similarly not vetting the truth. Very rarely do we dive into establishing the facts fully, because it would be impossible to talk about anything.

If you disagree, let's go through an exercise. So your car says it's now going 60km/h. I can't trust you or your car, let's put side markers on the road, and I'll use a stopwatch. We'll also have to do like 100 runs, and change the surface a bit so we control for skid (non-slippery, slippery...). Ok, for those side markers, how do we measure them? What about the time? I'll drop by Paris to get 1-true-meter and compare my stopwatch with their atomic clock to ensure the error is within, say, 1%.

All this is the vetting required for a basic, easily measurable "fact". Anything involving the human mind, it's nigh impossible.
Exactly - any cloud CEO that makes that claim likely has little to no traffic logs to show otherwise.

Take a look at the Honda E mirrors. Hopefully we get something like that since they stick out less than normal mirrors. Don't know what a replacement costs though. I'm honestly much more worried about the price of headlights nowadays.
Did it also delete your containers by chance? That is, if you have set any up.

This drives me up the wall. At certain, irregular intervals Firefox loses my configured multi-account containers - except for those provided by an extension, e.g. Amazon Container.
Yes, it’s “prejudging”.
Hello Hilary
- use a hardware MFA device like Yubikey (note: you can only register one hardware device, because AWS fucked up their implementation)

- if you can't use hardware MFA for whatever reason, use TOTP (this allows backing up your MFA)

- don't use the root account for anything other than creating less privileged users (ideally create an admin user that can do that, and never use your root account anymore, and only use the admin account to set up users)

- the other users should use the principle of least privilege (only access to actions X, Y to resources Z, Ż, Ź)

- if you can at all get rid of using access keys (e.g. via using roles), then do so

- if you can't, never share them with anybody (don't commit it to git repos, that's for sure)

The two first points are crucial, and I've never heard of an account fully compromised without sharing access keys that had MFA set up.

This is incredible. It's actually better than some released games, I've been driving around the city for a while now and it's so real!

What I would like not just for this but games in general is more interaction with the environment, you see a building, you can go into it. You see a bench you can sit down etc.

The realism only lasts until you try to do something out of bounds then it's just a reminder that it's all pretty superficial.

But yeah this will be a day one buy when the full game/experience is released!
At one time, there was a licensed kit which included several decks of cards and a small frame which was useful for small children to build the basic structural block Bryan uses in his creations. It was not so useful for adults as his method is quite simple, though it does require patience - a lot of patience.

Some context: just like health insurance is pretty much mandatory in Germany, it is pretty much mandatory for every company to have an accident insurance for its employees.

This insurance covers workplace accidents (e.g. somebody falls from a ladder), and it also covers accidents on the way to and from the workplace.

This judgement answers the question if this applies even if the way to the workplace is within the employees home.
> Random ad blockers are very dangerous, but there are ad blockers that everyone trusts, and you might not want to make it harder for them to maintain their projects.

The answer to "Random ad blockers are dangerous" is not: Let's cripple all adblockers to safeguard our "users".

The obvious answer is create a review process similar to what Firefox did. Maybe Google should use some of their 0.0001% annual income to contract a full time review team to protect us against rogue extensions.

I think an honest interlocutor would look at what's behind Big Corp double speech:

Google: Protect ad-revenue while pretending to protect users.

Apple: Protect Apple against government pressure while pretending to protect the children.
That is the whole point of moral philosophy, to try to both model how humans make moral decision and help us make better moral choices.

To just wave away the work of hundreds of philosophers over hundreds of years with "it's murky" ... maybe philosophers already understand that.
Just played through this on PS5 on a decent OLED. It does not look like this video.

It's impressive, but I'm skeptical this video is real-time on a PS5, certainly I doubt this is at 4K - the jaggies when I ran this were everywhere.

It was worse in the city demo after the action sequence. Certainly a lot going on, but in terms of the trade-off, it was visually quite obvious where the costs are side-by-side with Miles Morales on it's PRT mode and for a real game the later would almost certainly be better overall.

Hopeful people will get more out of it in future, but wanted to temper expectations here from the video.

EDIT: Just found the signpost to enable real-time night mode with Lumen. Wow. It's clearly still struggling to run on a PS5 but it's not that far away from where it would need to be. And when it's not struggling with jaggies/framerate it's pretty jaw-dropping.
Don't worry, I got it :)

I think this is kind of a misconception about how unitary the unitary state really is. Which is especially weird coming from America with its zillion decentralized police forces. The government is not necessarily a single entity that behaves with one purpose, that's what allows concepts like an independent judiciary to exist.
Simple? Long time ago (2010?) there were ads PC vs Mac. PC had conference camera ductaped on his head, Mac had build in camera. This hack feels similar.
The terminology chosen is terrible, "priority" in this context is self referential and doesn't mean anything. All those (equality, utility, ...) are strategies to define the priority in the face of scarcity or competing requirements, so to call one of them "priority" is nonsense. The author is basically saying that:

- Equality strategy is to prioritize decreasing differences. (OK)

- Utility strategy is prioritizing maximizing the sum total of a set utility function. (OK)

- Priority strategy is prioritizing priority. (WTF!!!)
I bet there is one in German, they always have words for interesting things like that.

To be fair, I think there should also be a word to describe the effect of someone beginning a phrase that invalidates the rest of their argument..eg "According to CNN..."

*Edit* Sorry about the pronouns.

Here is a German phrase that is close to what is needed.

Medline is great on all levels but what does it have to do with the author's work/product/topic? It's a database of biomedical articles. It's searchable using usual text search ("concept A" AND "concept B"), and has some additional features like MESH terms and metadata.

The author is talking about extracting entity-level information from those article and building knowledge bases. Medline provides access to the raw data, but it does nothing like what the article describes (well - there's https://lhncbc.nlm.nih.gov/ii/tools/SemRep_SemMedDB_SKR.html , so not entirely true. But it's hardly a final answer to the problem or even close to being usable enough that it makes commercial solutions pointless)
If I had a car, my yearly distance might have been similar. But that's because a car would give me most utility in areas that aren't handled by the "shared" car systems, i.e. longer trips outside of public transport system, especially with cargo that can't be reliably transported on a personal trip on train and the like.

And I'd probably still keep to taxis in the city, can't be arsed to drive :D
In its current form, yes absolutely. We do not need a "justice" system focused purely on retribution and punishment, there isn't really evidence that retribution and punishment are effective

>that he is clearly a good guy

The unspoken assumption behind this question is that any actor in our society needs to be morally or personally exemplary for their work to have value. It's a modern version of Donatism. Donatists were a group of Christians in the fourth century. Their core tenet was that priests need to be ‘faultless’ for their prayers and their sacraments to be valid

It's often faulty son-of-the-bitch that makes a lasting positive mark on society.

About Assange.

Assange started a hugely positive movement with WikiLeaks. WikiLeaks continues to be a positive force.

The problem with WikiLeaks under Assange was that he could not keep it impersonal under stress. Assange allowed himself and WikiLeaks to be used as a tool. Then he adopted a conspiratory tone to everything. His supporters are now completely convinced that everyone in the government fulfilling their lawful orders is personally invested in an evil plot to get him.

Contrast Assange to Snowden. Snowden lives in Russia but is less a tool for Russians than Assange is. Snowden understands that people whose job is to get him, are not some evil cabal. Breaking the law for the good of the society is sometimes necessary. That does not mean that everyone on the opposite side is evil.
How does prospect theory apply to the scenario as proposed?
But it feels good for you to help keep the world spinning, you gain pleasure from being a part of it. That is dedication to tradition and the love of what is. That is a character trait, a part of the character trait that I propose to call the 'farmer' mentality and its part of the low end of openness on the big 5. It is this emotion that I lack and may be a trait of others high in openness/creativity. It is not simply a conceit, it is not selfishness or a lack of a desire to give.

It is the result of not placing value in "what currently is" as a default position. The what 'is' and 'has been' has little value to many. "What we have now is not good. It is not worth my sacrifice.".

And thinking about it rationally there are many ways to justify this position:
The world is heading towards ecological disaster. The world is a sickening mess of inequality, from the starving to the over fead. From the free to the stultifying world of North Korea.

Propping up the inner processes of facebook, is not worth my sacrifice. What 'is', is not worthwhile, what is important is what can be made, what can be created to better the lives of others. Continuing to do what we do is inadequate and counterproductive.

And while you may view this as childish and something to be grown out of, I contend this is an enduring personality trait. I also contend that it is a personality trait that has merit, it has utility to society as a whole. Who is it that is going to go out and change things for the better? The personality dynamic of the entrepreneurs and the artists (because they are very similar personalities) is one of dissatisfaction and it has to be, because the discomfort of being on the edge away from the herd has to be less than the discomfort induced by remaining in the herd, otherwise the creative behaviour would not be realised.

What you are saying in your response is simply that your emotional makeup allows you to function in a maintenance role without too much discomfort because while you would prefer more creative aspects to your job, you can find solace in contributing to society. And what I am saying is that there are some for whom their personality makeup does not permit this as a solution. For these people it is better to at least attempt to make something new. They will probably fail, but it is by evolutionary design that a certain proportion of people will be forced to try.

In the end there is value to maintenance and there is value to exploration. Some will be happy with a world dominated by maintenance, some will be mildly unhappy and learn to find value in it. But some will be so adverse to it that they will be forced to perform the role of exploration. All of these kinds of people contribute. I am making no value judgement here, what you hear in my voice is only resentment born of being in the minority.

As a European, Ithaca does not look very walkable to me, even though it's a pretty small city. Fewer stroads is good, of course. But unless you live in Ithaca's very small city core — which is not dense — then you find yourself in typical American suburban sprawl, and Ithaca's only form of public transit is the city bus.

Zoning remains one of the biggest problems in American city planning. The lack of mixed zoning means you end up with a rigid segregation of urban areas, residential areas, and semi-industrial "big-box store stroad hell" areas. What's often missed in discussions about urban density is that in Europe, living in a residential area often means you still have access to amenities by walking, which is almost never true in the US.
Why is it valuable if you can practice doing those type of tests and then get a good score on the real test? What's the purpose then? I mean if the job is writing code, wouldn't you be interested in finding out if the interviewee can code, instead of checking if the person can figure how a certain geometric form unfolds?
