Ten seconds of running WireShark and watching iTunes talk to an AppleTV running v6 will give you something like that, where iTunes and the AppleTV do much talking about 'fp-setup' and FPLY and handshake together.

Apple's AirPlay (AirTunes) devices have actually been doing these FPLY verifications for years now, but they were optional and talking to the devices with the older non-FPLY protocol worked. It's just as of Apple TV 6.0 that they appear to be dropping the old connection exchange and requiring the FPLY one to talk to the device.

I'm not quite sure what you think we have to gain by claiming we think FairPlay is required now, when it really wasn't? This weblog post was to inform our customers about an issue with our software and ATV 6. We'd all dearly love a solution.
I'm not referring to 16 bit precision per sample, more to 44khz and the potential for multi-millisecond audio glitches on most modern PC configurations. Glitch-free audio is pretty tough, still.

Well not everyone wants to "start something". Starting a business is risky and requires tremendous dedication. Some people work better in technical/supporting roles. Perhaps after years getting paid peanuts in grad school, he wants something more stable?

Another example of the same (or at least something similar) is Alexander Grothendieck. See http://www.ams.org/notices/200410/fea-grothendieck-part2.pdf (start at the last paragraph of page 1)

By the way: that text is in the past tense, not because Grothendieck has died, but because he retired from mathematics in a quite abrupt way. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Grothendieck#Retireme...

It's really important to consider the well established cycles in climate, not because they are proof that human changes don't exist, but to put our change in context.

Anthropogenic climate change is IMHO indisputably real and startlingly fast in geological terms, BUT it is dwarfed by the natural variations in climate over the long term and may even (if we don't overdo it) have saved us from another ice age in the long term. I'm not sure anyone understands what the climate is doing enough in order to make concrete predictions or to know what the interaction of our global warming with the long term cycle's cooling will do. It's great that attention is becoming more and more focused on this topic, but we don't need dire predictions and polarisation which have taken place - it is counterproductive.

It startles me how people pick sides and start using labels like denier and apologist on this topic - surely there is room for debate on what we should do about climate change? Do we have to be either for or against AGW and therefore for or against mitigating it? Isn't it reasonable to suggest looking at AGW in context, and also to show that humanity is going to have to deal with far greater swings over the long term in climate than just a few degrees?

If anything I'd say this long-term chart indicates we have to redouble our efforts to understand climate change, and if we can't control it, work on ways to mitigate its effects, because even if we control our own short term effects, long term the earth will move from ice age to tropical and we'll have to adapt.
I got my first ever 3d printer today (Makerbot Replicator 2). It is seriously the coolest piece of tech I've ever seen, which is really saying something. I can't wait for the price to drop, and for damn near everyone to have a 3d printer of some sort.
"'The Fed is the greatest hedge fund in history, ... it's generating $80 billion or $90 billion a year probably' in revenue"

Can you get more asinine than that? Probably? How is this relevant when the Fed is printing $85 BILLION a month to finance ongoing bond purchases? Guys like Buffet must absolutely love the Fed because they have an outlet to offload their illiquid garbage bonds and derivatives.

Imagine if you made a terrible investment that loses most of its value... you're screwed, you have no choice but to suffer, eat the losses, and move on. But wait! The government opens a shop where they'll buy your investment for close to you original principal. You're saved! Amazing. I'd write nonsense articles praising the government too.

Apple won't help them, because Airfoil is more or less a reverse engineering of Apple's protocol, and it's one that they choose not to share. This move was deliberately made to prevent apps like Airfoil from working. For what it's worth, I'm fine with it - Apple doesn't have to open their protocols just no like one has to buy their products, and Rogue Amoeba's complaints here are the same as anyone who builds off Google's APIs - if you're not paying for the product, expect it can go away at any time, taking your revenue with it.

Wow, the scale of this is amazing, virtually all versions of windows are affected (search "Microsoft Corporation" & check for "Dual_EC_DRBG") as are a substantial number of Cisco products.

Apple seems to fare better assuming that's what this means:
CTR_DRBG: [ Prediction Resistance Tested: Enabled;

Regarding hardware devices (Cisco etc routers) it'd be interesting to get an audit of vulnerability by firmware versions. People are terrible at keeping those things up to date.

TL'DR: if you fear MITM, you've got your work cut out auditting your infrastructure

If you're wondering why you've heard of him for non-entrepreneurial reasons, Cheriton has made major academic contributions in distributed systems; he's an author on the leases paper, the V operating system, and the "Understanding the Limitations of CATOCS" paper, among many others.
I got a 15... but mostly because it was tedious.
This is the first 3D printer I've been excited about since the very first one I saw maybe a decade ago.

The reason is that it is actually a novel approach that I can see is in its very infancy...and it's clever as hell. The reality of 3D printers is that at this stage of their development, they aren't useful for a lot of people; at least not useful enough to make them a cost-effective purchase.

This, however, begins to make it seem a reasonable purchase for a wide variety of people. Any hobbyist or artist that builds things would find this an awesome tool for taking their ideas to the next level. Table top gamers can make their own models. People who work on electronics can make their own boxes and internal parts. The possibilities are pretty broad. They've always been broad...but the printer options have always been expensive, or required you to build it yourself.

We're getting close to a 3D printing revolution. I'm not the first person to say that. But, this is the first time I've ever said it, because it's the first time I saw a glimmer of hope that it would actually soon be in the same league as laser and inkjet printers in terms of cost.

And, this may be the time when I finally opt to jump into the pool and try out this new tech. If I can think up something I'd actually want to regularly use it for, I probably will.

Anyone know how tough the resulting objects are? Could I use it for something, such as gears or a chassis for an outdoor computer, that needs to take a lot of abuse and expect it to hold up?
Ok. From his reply I thought mikeash works for you guys and that you guys did not have proof. I will look through your github page.

Eric Schmidt: "[Balkanization] would be a very bad thing, it would really break the way the internet works, and I think that's what I worry about."

Er, balkanization would really break the way Google et al. make money from the internet, and that's what he worries about.

Yeah, I prefer a free and open internet, but the US and NSA's fiddling with the internet shows why we can't have nice things.
Not to mention it asks for your friend list..
Agreed. You get a PhD for you, not for science. I would hazard 99% of PhD dissertations get read cover to cover less than 5 times. And I'm including the committee and author on that number.

This assumes that the "problem" has a solution. I think at the end of the day that this course of action is not something that can be done as anything other than an attempt, that it can't be done on purpose.
Look, it is not like adding 6°C on all temperatures and that's it. Weather is getting extreme and the environment changes then. There is a book called 6 degrees by Mark Lynas. It is a good read. He spend some time in the archives and collected what might change by comparing to past times. Rainforests will probably die or at least move, sea level will raise by ~70 meters.

On top millions or billions of people start moving around because their homes and their jobs no longer exist. Food will get a problem because the oceans go acid. Did you ever chose jellyfish as a diet? Social friction will increase. After Sandy NY run short on gas supply, remember the guarded gas stations? The western economy relies on weather behaving within a reasonable range, imagine cities without food, because the just in time transport system stucks in 2m snow for weeks. I can continue the list even more, but the point is basically everything will change: culture, economy, cities, agriculture, food, friends, borders, countries, and so on.

The last thing I can imagine is 7 billion people moving orderly to Russia or Canada to begin a new live in peace.

Regardless, I love the approach taken here; really quite clever.
They have choices. They have complete flexibility. They are under no pressure to do anything that isn't explicitly their goals. They want to control inflation and increase employment. If the economy starts to heat up and inflation starts to rise above their 2% target they will then have the option of selling bonds or raising the federal funds rate, the latter of which is more likely.

I'm not really sure what you're trying to get at with the last comment. He doesn't know the exact number off the top of his head. The exact amount remitted last year to Treasury is $88.4 billion.

It does so at the expense of speed of understanding. Better for some people, worse than others. As a speedy reminder of syntax or form, w3schools seems superior.

I think you're heavily discounting/missing "ability to work independently" which I think is a huge win for most softeng jobs. If they can code (if), you'll find PhD holders need very little hand-holding to get stuff done.

I scored zero: "You have perfect color vision!"
This is provided you can merge at the velocity of the merging lane. It's obvious that merging late is a good strategy if you can do that because essentially you're using what is otherwise unused space.

However, the problem is that many people who merge late go so far that they have to practically stop to enter the lane they're merging into. Note that late merging is usually around 50 meters before the lane ends. If you go too far, then you're forced to slow down drastically and your merging will cause a problem for other drivers.
As a North American who enjoys discussing taboo subjects clinically and honestly, and in the interest of cultural understanding, I would explain it as:

Cleanliness standards for the hands are much higher than for the rectum area. For hands, not just water but soap is expected, after any work with biologically-suspect materials or surfaces (raw foods, places of illness, bathroom visits).

But for "down below," the paper-wipe is considered sufficient, with usual assumptions about clothing, bathing schedule, etc. The paper enables wiping until there's no trace (on the white paper) of any feces. The seated toilet (less common in other regions) helped spread open the rear cheeks; after standing any surfaces that were only-paper-wiped seem very nearly 'retracted' so as to not even be in contact with underwear. Within 12-24 hours, a full-body bathe and freshly-cleaned clothes are likely.

Still, those with predictable bowel movements may time them so they immediately precede a daily shower. In many bathrooms the sink is close enough to allow wetting toilet paper for part of the cleanup, and prepackaged moistened wipes are rising in popularity, and have long been used for messy-baby-cleanup.

Turning things around and looking at rinse-cultures, I'm probably not alone among North Americans in wondering:

(1) Doesn't the spray get droplets of feces-water mix everywhere? (Supposedly ideal bathroom hygiene is to close the toilet lid before flushing, to avoid sending a mist of toilet water into the air. Any forced-water rinsing seems to guarantee a mixed-mist reaches everywhere, including parts of the buttocks and legs far from the rectum that are never contaminated by paper-wiping.)

(2) Short of absolutely drenching yourself with multiple power rinses, how do you know you're "done" - that none of the remaining dampness is still fecal-contaminated water? (White paper provides a visual completion indicator.)

(3) My very rough impression is that fecally-transmitted diseases (typhoid, hepatitis, cholera, anything diarrhea-causing, etc.) are more prevalent in rinse-cultures. Are you sure that "a lot of South Asian countries" should be the "ideal way to wash" model, as opposed to the other way around? (North American practice would change very fast if there were evidence paper-wiping was insufficient to protect health.)

I just finished my PhD in theoretical physics and had a relatively easy time finding a "data scientist" like job in the tech industry. I had two jobs offers from two interviews, neither of which were very close to my PhD research.

I did do an industry internship toward the end of my PhD and I think it made a big difference. Not only did I have the experience to show potential employers that I was serious about going into industry, but I also learned more about software engineering in 3 months of my internship than 5 years of academic coding during my PhD. And I ended up with an offer from the company where I did the internship.

I actually think it's an even better idea to do a software engineering internship early in your PhD if you're doing some sort of computational science, because you'll pick up skills that nobody will teach you in grad school but that are also valuable for writing academic code.

As you know, industry internships are way outside the norm for physics, but they're pretty standard for computer science grad students. In my view, not doing an internship was this guy's first mistake, although I have no idea what to make of the fact that he had no offers after 30+ interviews, which does strike me as highly anomalous.
Although I periodically am annoyed at Apple for various things, it's frequently clear to me that they understand that certain aspects of the user experience are really important.

Much of their competition treats user experience just like any other consumer electronics company: If it doesn't crash, ship it!
I wasn't trying to give a real number, I was saying that 'too hot, planetwide' is rather unrealistic. The initial ass-number was '6', why does your argument rely on numbers an order of magnitude larger?
Ah. Did not know that. It makes sense now.
Ah, I see. That's good regulation there.

Every time the fact of Apple not permitting other browsers is brought up, someone always says "Yes they can" and points out Chrome, Opera, etc. But they can't. Apple won't allow any code interpretation in apps. That means no JavaScript at all. Which means a browser that's pointless on today's internet.

Opera Mini isn't a true browser and offloads processing to external servers because they can't interpret JavaScript locally (thanks to Apple's anti-competitive app store rules). The off-device rendering makes for a less-than-desirable user experience.

Chrome and every other "browser" in the iOS app store is just a custom UI on top of Mobile Safari. And it's not even full-speed instance of it since it can't use the Nitro JavaScript engine. It's hobbled so it's slower than proper Mobile Safari. Chrome does add one other custom bit in that it inserts its own network stack underneath it. But it's still Mobile Safari within Chrome. It's not the Chrome/Blink engine and it likely never will be. Not unless those increasingly high walls start coming down.
Perhaps, with slightly more hardware, you could rig it up to kill the power to the laser if the sound level dropped to zero (which is typically how computer audio hiccups manifest). Printing would stop for a moment, but you wouldn't have the laser curing anything it shouldn't.
I've heard the resin resultant objects are pretty brittle at least on the Form1, so I'm not sure it could do what you're hoping.

You would be better served with an FDM printer if you want to be able to use it as you describe, but then you need to be careful of the direction of the grain (or rather, the layers) so that they're opposite the direction of stress if there's specific ways it will take stress.
Paragraph 1 is a non sequitur in the purest sense of the term.

Paragraph 2 mentions US critics, but unless the link changed, the article is a link to the BBC which: 1. is British and 2. a reporting of fact with no judgement expressed. In any case, your comment reveals more than any op-ed ever could.

Paragraph 3 is again bizarre assuming we're reading the same article (I double checked as I've read this story before- the news here seems to be the nationalization part).

So I'll conclude with this: there's a lot of criticism of the US sharedand discussed on this site, but I never notice anyone get so defensive about it, whether they agree with it or not. Why is this article so troubling to you? Especially if it's something you claim is so insignificant.
Yeah i got that too cant people just get a book and read it - thats what I did on my first web project back in 94.

Played around at lunch times a BT and volunteered for a month in Edinburgh on secondment brought the only book on HTML published at the time and read it through a couple of times on the train up to Waverly station.
> If a bank failed, how long would it take to be reimbursed by the FDIC? Probably much longer than a poor person could weather.

In most cases, the FDIC takes over the bank and runs it (in a matter of hours), specifically to prevent this sort of impact.
Absolutly. Looking for an alternative a few years ago I found a check cashing place that would simply stop payments before a transaction, so you couldn't overdraft.

I was happy to pay 1% fees on check cashing for that; with low income that was quite reasonable.

Direct deposit had no fee, and this was a great deal for me.
Damn I didn't quite realize the ingenuity of using a mirror instead of fixed axis until I read this:

>Build volume: There is no certain limit on build volume. In the same way that a flashlight beam gets bigger the further it shines, so does the build volume of the Peachy Printer. Although this has not been tested, we have high hopes to print a full size canoe! This will require a build volume of approximately 3'x3'x16'. The real limiting factor in build volume is time... It could be possible to calibrate the Peachy Printer to print a house, but it would take years![1]

And here I am thinking it was to save money on the rods and stepper motors.

Line noise is a bit of an issue, but that's usually quite high frequency which means it can either be filtered or that the errors will be correspondingly small. Latency and glitches are not likely to be an issue at all, even the crappiest computer nowadays can handle multitrack audio and delays of a few milliseconds that would interfere with music performance are not going to have any impact here. Likewise sampling rate shouldn't be a problem, anything above 8Khz or so should be adequate for purpose here and most cheap uCs could handle that. Cable noise is generally negligible over short runs. A bigger problem would be ground hum from poorly isolated transformers/power supplies, but that is on a fixed frequency and can be eliminated with a HPF. Certainly the output is a little crude but it will be 'good enough' for many purposes.

Note also that the audio input allows playback from an mp3 player or other sources, suggesting the audio can be wholly precomputed. Imagine how useful that could be in places like Africa so that you could print thing without necessarily needing a high-power device like a laptop.
Ok, I know what the spec says, but it is utterly rediculous to expect people to write code in which parameters are allowed to change in an undefined way.
I wish it gave more details about the test results. I'd like to know what the average score is in my demo; not just the highest and lowest scores.
I used to use Webmonkey but it stopped being updated.

I used to keep a website of ASP, PHP, and HTML example and learning sites as a bookmark and kept them updated until my site got hacked and files deleted. I might do that again some day. Having a web site devoted to learning different web standards in programming is always a good idea. Just make sure you keep providing examples and lessons and don't end up like Webmonkey and just quit.
