My father got me into photography at a young age (now 31) and in my eyes he was fantastic with his choice of 'filters' in the 80's/90's. that consisted of a 35mm + arsenal of lenses + even more uv/color/et c glass filters he would stack.

He unfortunately passed recently and in my last days talking with him about life and what his final thoughts were, one comment stuck in my mind which was 'I wasted all that time taking pictures of clouds and silly things, where the only pictures I want to look at one last time are ones of you and your mom'.

My takeaway? Who cares what filters or post processing one uses, in the end, it's the context that makes it worth the memory.
The NSA has access to their own chip fabrication facilities. I do not know if they own their own plant, or just have secure fab space at some other company's plant.

So they could have easily fabbed something like this, or a tuned architecture specifically designed for the purpose.
Sorry, that makes no sense. For around $1200 you can buy an 1RU supermicro with 6-core i7, 32G Ram etc. that will smoke your mini ($1500, 4 cores) on every metric. If your rackspace is precious you could fit two of them into one RU with a half-sized case or by leaving out the case altogether (not much more esoteric than stacking mac mini's imho).

I love the mini (I have one under my desk!) but suggesting apple consumer gear (including the apple tax) would be a cheaper alternative to generic x86 consumer-gear is a little nuts.
It the same way in most states. They can no longer afford pensions. I know in Florida its just as bad if not worse.
Nope. Read the next sentence:

"Xerox appealed the ruling and won, obtaining $US 22.5 million in retrospective licensing fees. Palm and Xerox agreed to not sue each other for seven years over certain patents, without publicly specifying which patents."
Agreed. It's especially egregious because this functionality can potentially endanger the lives of customers while opening up liability suits (not a lawyer, just guessing).

Anyone know how much it would've cost to keep google maps?
Is it Apple that not letting it into the App Store? I thought that this was just speculation? The reason maps changed was, as I understood it, not just due to Apple, as google wouldn't give access to 'the good data' - vector based maps.
I'm not saying that he's incorrect or lying, I'm just saying that he sounds a tad pretentious every time he makes one of those posts.

Right, and tired enough to pay $5 for a one-month subscription to App.net. And the fact that App.net offers only Stripe for payment doesn't help things. Neither does the branding problem that App.net has - for the average person, it's difficult to understand what exactly it does. It's more powerful to have a social networking platform than a specific site, for sure, and I immediately appreciated its value when I heard about it. But I don't think most of my non-tech savvy friends could or would.

Curious - what do we call a computer like this? It's obviously not going to make the TOP500, but is it a "supercomputer"? I thought perhaps "minisupercomputer" might be fitting, but according to Wikipedia that is a term for a class of computers that became obsolete in the early 90s.

Disagree. I can create a Linux container (lxc) using virt-sandbox in fedora to bring up a container to run a single command with very ver little effort. It is roughly equal or less work to build a chroot
It could just be a symbolic thing, maybe they don't actually expect anything to come of it.
And what about the implied warranty and fitness for purpose?
I think the tradition model of long hardware cycles, taking huge losses in an attempt to beat Moore's law, and writing to the "bare metal" to squeeze the most out of outdated tech is merely what consumers and the current console manufacturers are used to, and not necessarily what consumers want or what is the best business strategy.

I hate to put it this way, but I think Apple has already proven that the best strategy for closed hardware platforms is to release incrementally improved hardware on a regular release cycle, and mandate that software be written to APIs and not "the metal" so that it remains forward compatible. In a world where so many people happily replace their 100% working phones with new ones every year or two, I don't really see why most of the current console market would have a problem with purchasing a new Steam Box every few years.

Valve could easily stick $200-400 commodity PC hardware in a box and blow the pants off of the vast majority of the existing console market that is currently enjoying games running on hardware that was state of the art in 2006. Even if the PS4 and Xbox720 (or whatever they plan to call them) come out later with superior hardware, I think most of the meaningful difference can be made up by carefully cooperating with NVidia/AMD to optimize the drivers for the specific models of GPUs used in a limited range of hardware, while aggressively promoting the yearly hardware refreshes.

It's possible that Valve could end up playing the console game by its established rules, but I think they'd be wasting what is probably the best opportunity available to anyone in the industry to become the "Apple of the living room" if they did -- lord knows why Apple itself isn't trying harder on that front.
My wife used to be a lobbyist, so she has experience with both federal officials and state officials.

Yes, there are safe districts, but the competition for the average federal district is just higher than the competition for the average state district. Not e.g. Cook County or LA County versus some random federal district in Montana, but some random federal district in Montana versus some random state district in Montana.

As for people saying the earth is 7,000 years old... there are a lot of smart people who believe that. Even rational people do not apply rationality to all aspects of their life, nor is every person well-versed in one subject well-versed in all subjects. Heck, Bill Frist had some wacko ideas about the ways you could get AIDs, but he had an AB from Princeton and MD from Harvard Medical School. He was a faculty member at Vanderbilt Medical and chief resident in cardiothoraic surgery at Mass. General. He is an objectively smart guy and he thought you could transmit AIDs from tears and sweat.
The only way for Maps to get better is for people to report errors. If they release it alongside Google's version and no one uses it, no one will report errors, so it would never get better, and so on.

Just two years ago I had Google Maps send me a few miles in the wrong direction and plant me in the middle of an unfinished housing development when I wanted to go to a shopping mall. It was a mistake, I reported it, and it was eventually fixed. It's not as bad as getting stranded in the middle of a national park, but

a) It should be obvious that the middle of a national park isn't where a town is supposed to be, and

b) If it's not obvious because you are a tourist, maybe you shouldn't be blindly trusting your Maps app and only having enough gas to make it to town?
I am not pro-GUI, just providing a possible solution the OP article didn't mention.

For the automation part, yes it's going to need scripts, but can your oneliner script handle this file name like this?

> People only do abusive things because somebody else previously did something abusive to them. This is not likely provable, it's just a belief I have.

I used to think the way you did, and then I discovered sociopathy was real. There are people who quite like hurting others, and there's no point in appealing to their empathy because they don't have any.

The best that can be done with these people is to give them incentives to cooperate.

If one accidentally ends up with one of these as an employee or a boss, one could fairly blame them... unless one also takes responsibility for sociopathy-detection.

"knowledge of infringement" basically boils down to "you know damn well what you're running here". It's not that every site operator has to actively police every single submission for possible infringement; it's that if even a ten-second glance at your service reveals obvious massive presence of infringing content, you don't get to pull the "well, gosh, we never knew" and claim safe harbor (this is the "is not aware of facts or circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent" clause).
I sort of had this problem around the Great Salt Lake; my TomTom app gave me directions using unpaved dirt roads that were actually closed. At least there were closed, with gates, only 10 minutes into the bad route.
Define scalability please. If we are talking about single system image scaling up, such as a SGI Altix monster, nothing but Linux will run on it. I'm sure ill be proven wrong, but I'm unaware of a modern general purpose operating system that runs on > 2048 CPU beasts other than Linux. Certainly not Solaris. If we are talking about scaling out horizontally, Linux is the defacto tool for most supercomputer clusters in the top 500 supercomputer list. Heck, solid SMP is still a relatively new thing compared to Linux. When I see "scalability" touted as a feature any of the other 'nix or bsds have over Linux, I really question the other person's definition of scalability. It likely is not the same as mine.

You're right that that does make the assertion somewhat less ridiculous. But it still sounds like he's saying that he expects the SSDs to be more reliable than regular drives.
Meh. There were 30 million e-mails being sent every month by the early 1970's (four decades ago). Heck, technology has almost not advanced at all in this decade, even in the computer sector (I don't consider Facebook, etc, to be advancements in technology in the relevant sense).

I live in Australia, and while I am not a fan of Apple or their products,I have to say that I'm surprised anyone in their right mind would go bush with just one map. Electronic or paper, maps have errors. Don't bet your life otherwise.
That part's always seemed a bit curious to me, though IANAL, so maybe they can get away with it. Can you really simultaneously: 1) advertise a product as being fit for a particular purpose; and then 2) disclaim any responsibility for making it fit for that purpose?

If it were labeled something like, "novelty product, not to be used for actual navigation", I could see that, but GPS manufacturers position their systems as ones you should actually use for navigation.

The rudder deflection on the cross-wind one is the most interesting. The landings is just a lot of ILS approaches so not much variance, although you can see the auto-pilot compensation on the LHR approaches, which is kind of cool.

Cross wind landings are fun once you get used to looking at the runway from the side window and getting tossed around in a Cessna like a kite.

I know that there are sociopaths and psychopaths, I just don't believe that they're purely genetic conditions, but rather ones that develop due to being the victim of abuse. There may be genetic predisposition, I wouldn't be surprised. I also don't believe they're fundamentally incurable conditions. I'm not saying that blaming or getting angry at an abusive boss makes no sense, but rather that going forward the best thing to do is either resolve the conflict or run away from it gracefully.
I'm not; if the experience of the last big entrant to try streaming games, OnLive, is any indication, that kind of service is an absolute furnace for cash. The Verge reported that at its height, OnLive was burning through $5 million per month to support a measly 1,600 concurrent users (http://www.theverge.com/2012/8/28/3274739/onlive-report).

It's possible that smarter architecture could bring that figure down; OnLive needed to have a physical machine for every concurrent player (!). And OnLive made plenty of other mistakes that a smart business like Valve might avoid. But even if you did everything right it still sounds like running a streaming games service at a profit with today's tech would be a serious challenge.
I like it. Inventive use of FUSE, but is there any reason it couldn't have been done with python and inotify?

The filters are popular because phone cam pictures are so poorly exposed that artsy filters look better than what the camera sees.

But yeah, we spend more hours per year shooting than we spend looking at photos, so we are lost anyway.

The real value of an amateur camera is that it provides an acceptable crutch to use to avoid uncomfortable or boring social interactions.

Halted and reversed. Of course the genetic defect cannot be removed. But since it is progressive, no, it is not merely genetic expression. Hair color is mostly genetic expression and in most people does not vary that much, until they go grey. A progressive condition is a combination of genes and environmental factors, something most people seem to have difficulty with. It gets chalked up mostly to "genes" as a means to insist the progression cannot be halted.

Unfortunately, no, no publication is interested.

LOVE this! I'm new to programming and it's the toughest thing to answer. How or where do I get started? I have some great ideas but not much in the way of skills to get it done.

What if they built into the game a mechanism that uses bluetooth to verify proximity when two players should be close to each other?

Google collects a lot of data for mobile devices; they should be able to avoid using, for mutual location verification, devices that are suspected of belonging to the same person.
Not much implementation actually. Fail2ban does all the hard work, and then if I get too many emails reporting the same IP I go in and manually permaban the offending IP (doesn't happen often).

>>Homeopathy has never kept anyone alive.

Sorry but I call this 'Allophic Arrogance', Which basically results out of overzealous overconfidence in something. Hating something just because its old.

Ancient systems of medicines work all the time. Despite your dislike.

Around three years, back I had a serious mal absorption problem. In 8 months, I lost a straight 30 kgs. I was around 48 kgs and life was going no where. Allopathy doctors almost killed me, the only thing the ever did was trial and error. And if that didn't work send me through rounds and rounds of tests. Net result was burning a lot of money for no sight of cure.

Then Ayurveda came to my rescue. Life has been a blessing since. My problem vanished like a whisper. In fact everything the Ayurvedic doctor has told me has come true to today's date.

I know modern medicine has advanced stuff like vaccination and surgery. Which saves many lives. And we must be appreciative of that. But that doesn't mean, we need to belittle something else.

Different things works for different people. And if it works for them, who are we to say otherwise?

Black and white, sepia, hypercontrasted photos are fascinating because they evoke the feel of mystery and distance from the subjects of decades-old photos whose images have faded or rotted over time.

When today's kids grow up, will that connotation still exist? Or will it be "pictures of Abraham Lincoln look just like pictures from dinner last night"?

Also, the filters remove ugly details, letting the viewers imagination fill in the beauty that isn't in the picture. Like how an average person is presumed to be nice looking when you can only see the back of their head or outer layers of clothing.
