> It just makes a whole lot of common ones easier and faster with less pulling you phone out.

Which also reduces distraction for many people, since often when you get your phone out you end up getting into various time consumption apps that aren't actually how you intend to be spending your time.
It seems their total traffic is 1000-2000TB per month and they're mostly just serving a single text file.

You can serve that easily from a dozen dedicated servers for a low four figures amount. Or just get one server with a 10gbit/s connection if you don't care about being geographically close to everyone.

These numbers aren't large, but many CDN companies (and AWS) would like you to believe they are and you should be paying them insane amounts of money to serve that kind of traffic.
I secretly did the integration over space to go from the probability density to the probability, so the deltas are integrated out :P

Doing calculations over text-based comments is so painful that I gloss over a lot, in the expectation that this isn't the right place to talk about anything but vague ideas anyway.
AWS has over a decade of experience and a ton of full-time dev ops to make complicated cloud usage easy.

You're not going to beat the reliability by going inhouse.

It's not inserting images into the code. It's a structured editor presenting an alternative view of the code. It's just code. That's all there is to this. Man, frustrating.
You're right. This one is much better and precise with styles and artists and gives you a lot of modifier ideas.
Nice results and easily readable report.

There is no mention of the horrible build quality and panel gaps in most of the vehicles rolling out of their factories.

It is laughable and seems malicious/intentional in how low their quality control is. You have money and capacity - fix it!

And stop removing sensors before the replacement software is ready - e.g. the pseudo rain sensor gets confused running wipers at high speed when stationary at a light and at low when going down a highway. And since there are no physical controls - I have to take my eyes of the road to keep adjusting the wiper speed while driving.

Tesla - please take some time to improve quality and add some buttons/sensors back in..

Once the other traditional manufacturers increase production - the Tesla bad build quality goes from being a quirk to deal breaker.

- as someone who recently took delivery of Model Y. It felt like going to an exam inspecting the vehicle with a checklist - instead of a joyous drive off the lot moment.
Not so wild, people use different tools for different needs :)

I do my sketching wherever, actual production on bunch of hardware and only use Ableton to record final main output of hardware and do my mastering there, nothing else.

Producers be producing in tons of different ways :)
"A beg coin"? you need a better brand.

As for the idea - why do you ned to tokenize coupons? To make sure that they are limited? What if you create tokens for a coupon and it is not used? Is the value lost forever? How will you get partners to use your APIs? Through an expensive blockchain?

Most importantly - what value does this give to the end user?
Lambda CDM makes very few assumptions. It only has 6 free parameters.[0] If you start with those 6 parameters, and then let the laws of physics work, you get the universe we see today. There are a huge number of different types of phenomena that the theory has to correctly predict (e.g., the abundance of different elements, the numbers of galaxies with different masses, the rotation curves of galaxies), and it does so extremely well.

I think the end game in genetic manipulation of living beings will look a lot different.

For example, there is a lot of research going into so-called in-vitro gametogenesis. Basically, production of sperm and ova from stem cells. You can already produce fertile ova from blood cells in mice. In humans, the process is a bit more challenging and will likely require artificial ovaries, but there does not seem to be any really major obstacle in the way. It is mostly technical stuff to be mastered.

Thus, somedays in the future, 2040 or 2050, you may simply walk into an IVF clinic, have your blood drawn and 1000 healthy eggs produced out of it. (It might actually work for males as well - a boon for gay pairs.) 1000 healthy eggs mean 500 viable embryos. Choose one for implantation, or perhaps two. (Or perhaps artificial wombs will be already available.)

At this moment, people will start to choose according to criteria that other people will abhor. Simply because they will be able to.

And all of this technology is double use. Much like firearms or computing. You can prevent untold horrors or you can unleash them.

I respect your idea that some technology should be taboo, but I don't agree with it, and I think it is fundamentally unviable in a world of nearly 10 billion people and 200 nation states, which is becoming increasingly multipolar. The next Cold War will have a substantial biological component.

Not a disease? That's down to semantics and personal opinion. What isn't opinion is the fact that the symptoms of ADHD have been objectively identified on a global scale, in people from very different cultures and social classes.

I agree that it isn't beneficial to label a very livable condition with the same word that we use for much harsher illnesses, and it doesn't help that it's not a visible condition. But as somebody with ADHD, it really hurts me to keep seeing this argument repeated ad nausea.

Maybe the issue isn't that it is being overdiagnosed, but rather the fact that the only treatment we consider worthwhile is prescribing amphetamines to children.
Agreed, I struggled to follow his reasoning when I read his book, but I also am aware it was a popular science book, so maybe it was dumbed down for the general public? I've not tried to track down more academic work in this area, maybe the evidence is more compelling?
I am looking for the other direction.

What the above describes is Navit receiving traffic information, I want Navit (or ideally, an even simpler app) to submit data to an open source traffic server.

The idea is to crowd-collect traffic information just like how Google does it (monitoring speed of those who have their Android phones with Google GPS services on, but out of willing participants): basically transparent to the users (other than them having to install the app and then figure out a way to allow them to run it in the background on recent Android systems :).

I'd feel much more comfortable submitting to a server where I've got full control of the data it emits (I can better ensure it retains my privacy by using new route ids often, for instance).
> Put me in physics class, technical drawing, cooking, math, I focused and did really well. Every other class was boring and non stimulating and so I acted up.

I’m curious what you think ADD is, since what you describe here is practically textbook symptoms.
I thought this article would be about the fact that most piracy was not restricted to the 17th/18th century Caribbean, but that does seem to be the time period this article primarily focuses on. But piracy still exists. Somalian piracy was big in the news a couple of years ago, and there's plenty of piracy elsewhere in the world. The most successful pirate in history was not any of the famous Caribbean pirates, but Chinese Zheng Yi Sao, who commanded a fleet of hundreds or pirate ships in the South China Sea in the 19th century, and even had the British and Chinese navies ask her for peace.

Of course it makes sense that pirates need a community to support them, because where else will they live, retire, sell their loot, etc? I imagine especially economic inequality, with communities left out of the profits of profitable trade, can make piracy an attractive way to even the score. But I also think there's a lot that can be said about the many different drivers of piracy, from desperation (a crew driven to mutiny against a tyrannical captain), to opportunity, war, or even a profitable business model or nation building.
> That’s quick (important because you have to repeat it while you’re marching) and easy to remember (also important because you might need it in a situation without access to Wikipedia).

I was taught this as a child, which was very accessible, felt incredibly magical yet made total sense, and super empowering.

I grew up in an hilly area with lots of forest, where intuitively orienting yourself can be hard in itself, doubly so consistently over even a short walk.

However imperfect, this technique allows one to consistently and unambiguously orient themselves via an absolute measurement subject to an error margin but impervious to error accumulation, and, when lost, not end up exhausting themselves to death by walking in circles.

Knowing that (plus orienting myself with stars at night, and a couple of other safety+emergency tricks) is probably why my parents allowed me to roam around freely by myself without anything like a cell phone (at the time they were at best an oddity that you saw in Hollywood movies), even at a very young age!

Most parents these day would probably pass out at mere the idea of a lone 12yo taking on a hike by themselves in such a way. For me it resulted in the complete vanishing of the fear of being lost; instead exploring by "getting lost" became the most thrilling activity ever.
Correct, and also, antidepressants are used for more reasons that to remedy depression (though that may well be their primary purpose). E.g. I use them to combat GAD, though it stems from ASD.
I like it for many reasons, but especially the helpful community, founder and everything just works. We use it with Istio at the moment. We switched from Cockroach (did not like the license and we had a few perf issues) to Yugabyte en Scylla recently for micro service and Monolith scaling to use with openfaas and it is really scaling to anything we need. Of course different situations have different needs, but this works very well for us.

It’s for this reason alone that bureaucracy can not be reduced or its processes streamlined in the foreseeable future. It doesn’t even need AI, just digital services. The bureaucrat will fight tooth and nail for the status quo to remain in place and prevent technical updates whenever possible. More efficiency means facing the pointlessness of one’s job. Exhibit A: Germany.
Some undoubtedly did, but I don't think it was very central to their business model.
The Montessori approach actually does the opposite re: age categorization.

Small classes, yes, very.

But classes with multiple age groups together. 3 year age spans is my recollection. Basically "junior elementary" and "senior elementary" and "adolescent" is how I've seen it grouped.

Many ideas going on here, but partially it's younger kids learning from older kids or being able to access "older" material if they can handle it, encouraging mentoring relationships, not living under the illusion that just because two kids are the same age that they are measurable against each other on some skill sets, encouraging individualized learning paths, etc.
As well as there are multiple desaturation methods, GIMP alone offers at least three, and I'm sure that could influence the outcome as well.

I have worked under some scrum masters that could easily be replaced by AI. Or by a small script.
Please don’t take this the wrong way, but googling is a very important skill to have.
There’s quite a bit of information out there and I’ll basically just repeat what you can find online already.
You’re additionally not very specific about your goals, which makes it hard to give specific advice.

Practical Malware Analysis is a really great book, even if you don’t intend to reverse malware. It has labs after every chapter, along with solutions.
It teaches you about windows, how to approach reversing a program and what to focus on to not waste too much time.

Once you worked through that CTFs should be much more approachable.

Reverse Engineering: Secrets of Reverse Engineering and Practical Reverse Engineering are also often mentioned as good books, but I personally haven’t read them.
Aside from that, the books from nostarch.com are great.

If you want to learn more about windows itself, there are the “windows internals” books.

It’s also a good idea to find a community with similar interests, learning together is often more fun.
And when you ask for help try to properly state your problem and what approaches you already tried to solve it, along with their outcomes.

Good luck!
The cool thing is that with every 50km you can unlock new locations.

The ES-30 flying from Zürich can get you to important cities in France, Germany, Italy and Austria. With they hybrid mode almost to Paris.

In Europe you have great trains but in the US this could be a game changer in all the big metro areas, North East, Florida, Texas Triangle, Southern California, Mid West/Canada.

Pushing on that whole stack you can get out more then the ES-30. There is potential for things like flying higher, using PRANTL Wing, Flying wing structure, batteries as part of the structure and so on.

A startup wouldn't risk doing any of these, but a company like SpaceX/Tesla could easily invest the capital to do this.
From personal experience, keep fit, particularly keep the weight off. Try to avoid overdoing any single form of exercise so as to protect the cartilage in the joints. Don’t turn things up to 11 so as to protect your hearing - hearing aids work wonders but they’re nowhere near as good as natural hearing. Don’t be an asshole; be noticed by your absence rather than your presence. Help out, be valuable to others.

These might not keep you from aging but it will keep you relevant in a positive way, which will keep you younger and engaged. Of course, you have to be lucky but as every article says, biochemistry and medicine is doing it’s part to help out. I’ll let others handle the kids and money discussion, but hopefully you get to have all you need. Sadly, basically nobody gets all they want but a few can tailor their wants appropriately.
It makes more sense to them to add that other value to the non-enterprise plans or licensing to attract more users, then charge the businesses that MUST have the SSO or audit functionality, because they know enterprise will pay it without blinking an eye.
That’s also how New York City does things for what it’s worth.
My data is on my SSD managed by an operating system whose source code I can read whenever I want. If I’m feeling extra paranoid, I can monitor my network traffic to make sure my machine hasn’t been compromised.

Nothing goes to the cloud. Nothing leaves my home without my consent.

If you really want sovereignty over your data, you keep it non digital.

My main problem is the crappy medical software complex that you have no control over. Visited a doctor any time in the last decade? Great. Your most personal details are scattered all over a bunch of insecure systems.

At any rate, I have zero trust in the government’s ability to help here. Their incentives are misaligned with mine. It’s rare to find a legislator who really wants more privacy for the average citizen.
Regardless of how the marketing people try and sell the stuff, there are a ton of paper pushing tasks that would benefit from "search engine autocomplete" quality of AI. AI isn't going to replace humans like a switch flip. Like every other automation technology it will just make them more efficient at their duties (for better or worse) resulting in less warm body hours for a given productivity output. What this means is that your average McDicks GM will go from managing two locations @50hr/wk to 2.5 locations at 50hr/wk

depending on which browser you are using there are slight changes to the api's accessable to web sites depending if you are in private mode or not. For example, in firefox private mode service workers are not avalable so a simple check to see if navigator.serviceWorker is undefined is all you need. Other browsers have other tells such as what types of storage are avilable, the size of storage (if avalable).
That's actually what this appears to be (though under the RoadEagle name on F-Droid). Looks like this [0] is the backend.

It is an insufficient abstraction because it gives you less power as a user. Same with everything on iOS. This sadly creeps into MacOS too.

If a table of contents it is a good analogy depends on what you define as content. For me the content is all the files.

A generic way to view data content is a file explorer that lets you explore the file system. Some abstractions can be here too, but it shouldn't be too much and certainly not to a degree like iOS. I can understand why it is there, it is a consumer device primarily.

If you have more than 10 documents, how do you organize them by topic? Into a new folder? Thought as much...

I'm actually in the same boat with goosh.org (also paying for it myself).
I think bing results might be cheaper at scale because I see a bunch of bigger services using it (like duckduckgo, but they will have a special deal for sure).
If I remember correctly there is also a hard limit for google results (10k/day?), so it doesn't scale even if you can refinance it somehow.
> Effectively, you are posing a litmus test on whether someone can reasonably comment on an issue that involves virology.

I think "understands the basics of virology" is a reasonable litmus test for who should be commenting on whether a given virology experiment is safe or not.

> Nobody intends to create a more dangerous virus on purpose.

This is not true. It's actually what the original GOF debate (focusing on influenza) was about in the 2010s.

> And if there's little to no risk, why take precautions? Why use BSL3?

Honestly? Partly to appease people like you. The scientists are being extraordinarily cautious, with a set of experiments that are highly unlikely to lead to anything particularly concerning in the first place. The danger posed by everyday people walking around with CoVID-19 is far greater than the danger posed by this experiment. Inside of labs, SARS-CoV-2 is treated like an incredibly dangerous substance. Outside of labs, people are walking into restaurants and bars and exhaling SARS-CoV-2 onto everyone around them.
Tell HN: iSQi sharing your personal details with 3rd party, assumed opt-in
Sometime ago I passed an exam by iSQI on Testing, mainly because many employers require it.

Some days ago, I got an idiotic email from them, saying they were going to "upgrade" me to a "blockchain certificate" that would be "tamper proof" (Im not kidding, these were their actual words).

The catch: They would automatically create an account for me on something called SkillShare, and if I wanted to opt out, I would have to contact them.

So they automatically "enrolled" me into some stupid "blockchain" scheme, and want me to contact them to opt out. Want to bet the opt out link itself contains tracking/spyware links and wouldnt even open on my Iphone?

Some choice cuts from their email:

"
Your digital badge will be block-chain secured ensuring that your certification status can only be used by you, including for employer verification that your certification is valid. During these times of digital insecurity, a forgery-proof digital badge provides the greatest protection and modern form of your personal certification.

We look forward to hearing from you within the next two weeks. If we do not hear from you, we will assume that you would like to receive your digital badge and SkillsClub invitation and we will arrange for it to be created as described above.

And they claim they are GDPR compliant. Im in the UK, so dont know what the Gdpr status is, if we can even make complaints. I have sent them a warning as recommended by the UK ICO , but Im not convinced how much teeth ICO has.
>The fraction 355/113 is incredibly close to pi, within a third of a millionth of the exact value. This level of accuracy is far beyond its rights as a fraction with such a small denominator, and it causes various oddities elsewhere in math.

On the other hand, from a purely practical perspective, the answer is only accurate to six digits, which is the number of digits in the fraction you must remember. So, you're not really getting much of a free lunch.
> The shape is the opposite of what you want in urban design (a straight line means the opposite ends are going to be disconnected, no matter how good your trains are).

100% agree. I really don't understand why they didn't design it as Apple Campus-style, with a giant natural park inside (if this is possible in the desert), and railway lines along the diameter every 22.5° or so to connect opposite points of the circle, with an interchange station in the center.
Maybe I don't know enough about recommendation systems, but surely not? If I buy a kitchen table, in my demographic (mid-20s in rented accommodation) it's because I moved into a new flat, or my existing table broke. In either case, buying a new table actually marks the start of a long period where I won't be buying any new tables, and every day from then onwards I'm slightly more likely to buy a table.
> I wish they had frozen a primitive version of JS and added a marker at the beginning of scripts to switch out which language is used, much in the way #lang does in Racket.

JavaScript has had basically this several times (though not after the extreme flexibility of Racket’s #lang).

• In the context of HTML, there was <script language="…">, with a variety of unstandardised values for the language attribute, e.g. javascript1.0, javascript1.4. I think there were also unofficial MIME types that worked too (something like <script type="text/javascript;…">), but it’s hard finding documentation for this ancient history and I haven’t tried for more than half a minute. In the end, it died for lack of utility and because in practice new versions didn’t break anything worth mentioning so it was all just the one thing under the hood.

• Strict mode <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...>, via the "use strict" statement at the start of files and functions. Also "use asm" as another pragma that opted out of most of the language for performance reasons.

• And ECMAScript Modules are to some extent a new file format, and a module’s contents are automatically in strict mode.

Suffice it to say: they can remove stuff if there is any will too. But there is not.
That was my reaction too; you can't "know" something that is false. Despite my innate pedantry, I didn't comment, because it's pretty clear what the title means.
