Very interesting approach.

I think one interesting aspect of this is that it couples spatial as well as temporal interpolation. This means that you get a higher resolution as well as a higher framerate, but on the downside seems to introduce additional artifacts depending on how these two interpolations interact.

I have not yet read the technical paper and only watched the video without sound, but from this video it seems that moving sharp edges introduce additional artifacts (can be seen when looking at the features of the houses in peripheral vision at 5:11 in the video). This is what you would roughly expect to happen if both pixel grids try to display a sharp edge, but due to their staggered update, one of these two edges is always at a wrong position.

This problem could probably somewhat alleviated through an algorithm that has some knowledge about the next frames, but this would introduce additional lag (bad for interactive content, horrible for virtual reality, not so bad for video).

I intend to read the paper later, but can anyone who already read it comment on whether they already need knowledge about the next frame or half-frame for the shown examples?

> their prototypes were built as a head-mounted display and a small projector.

Sounds like there are issues with parallax. Both head-mount and projectors have the benefit of a fixed viewer (or light-source, same thing) relative to the display. LCDs have depth, and at any other angle your offset is ruined. The tech is not likely coming to a desktop or laptop monitor any time soon.

Of course you can probably get around this. The two most obvious solutions being face tracking or paper-thin LCDs.

What's preventing people from moving onto stilt houses or even large floating seasteads? The big asset of Kiribati is their extensive EEZ which guarantees income from fishing or other activities (mining, drilling etc). You can chain together steel and concrete pontoons, add soil on top all without terrafirma. That could even be funded by the industrialized nations that are supposedly responsible for the sea level rise (a tiny cost, compared to actually cutting emissions).

Java developers kind of laugh when I explain them that Linux distros struggle to bootstrap Maven from source due to being a non-trivial tool that depends on hundreds of artifacts to build.

The point is, what do you care that your repo is local, or that your jars are secured, if the tool you got maven itself in binary form, from a server you don't control?

That is the whole point of Linux distros package managers. It is not only about dependencies. Is about securing the whole chain and ensure repeatability.

Maven design, unlike ant, forces you to bootstrap it from binaries. Even worse, maven itself can't handle building a project _AND_ its dependencies from source. Why will the rest of the infrastructure be important then?

Yes, Linux distros build gcc and ant using a binary gcc and a binary ant. But it is always the previous build, so at some point in the chain it ends with sources and not with binaries.

And this is not about Maven's idea and concept. If it had depended on a few libraries and a simple way of building itself instead of needing the binaries of half of the stuff it is supposed to build in the first place (hundreds), just to build itself.

And FWIW, you used the word "your" where you seem to have meant "they're" - twice. The sentence simply doesn't make sense as it stands, and yes that is your problem, university essay or not.

You very rarely need an iphone.

With a car you have to take into account whether it can be assumed to improve your likely hood of getting a better job/getting any job/keeping your current job or otherwise make you money.

A cell phone may very well be necessary to get a job. It likely doesn't have to be an iphone, but it may be the cheapest option if you can get one subsidized, especially since it allows you not to have to pay too much money right now.

In general debt can be a very good thing iff you can reasonably expect to make more money than you did before.

Sibling comment is right: the most likely answer is nothing. The US is quite a lot more politically stable than it was during the 60s. There are an awful lot of guns around but a near-total absence of any armed political movements outside the state itself.

The next most likely thing is another economic crisis, perhaps triggered by an oil crisis. Another war in the middle east, or cutting off the supply from Russia to Europe. Or the discovery that fracking decline rates are higher than expected.

Continued "Detroitization" is also likely - not collapse but a slow, painful decline into large areas of poverty and dysfunctionality.
A lot of companies don't appreciate the competitive space they're in.

If you're building something that addresses a novel value proposition ("a machine that turns water into wine") you can say it like it is and expect at least some conversion from an audience which cares about your promised value.

When your value proposition is something like "better product management" you're competing with dozens of products which people already use and are happy with. Just saying "we're a better tool for product management" isn't going to fly. You'll need to communicate exactly why you're better.

I appreciate the friendly "talk to us anytime and we'll walk you through it", but I think as a strategy that suffers from a similar problem. It's not going to work with a muddy value proposition, most folks just won't bother.

$50,000 per kilogram might sound pricey, especially when compared to what SpaceX works out to, but considering that it's a dedicated launch, versus a rideshare, and they can go up at will--it's the best deal out there. It's a little more expensive than Dneppr, but they only have rideshares once a year. RocketLab's biggest competition, right now, is The Indian PSLV. They don't have set pricing, but I've heard that half of the stated RocketLab price is possible. But again, there is no regularity with PSLV.

There are a few other dedicated smallsat/cubesat launchers on the horizon, but that's also a three year horizon. For the time being, the Kiwis will have a monopoly. Unless, of course, Elon wants to being back the Falcon 1. I believe that rocket had a greater payload, but also was a bit more expensive. Lockheed is bringing back the Athena, but I doubt they will be cost-competitive with RocketLab.

These guys aren't exaggerating: This rocket is a huge deal for the advancement of the new space industry.

I believe there are also some good tools out there for printing larger quantities of data onto paper, using ECCs and such.

It's an interesting area of research/hacking. Personally I rather love the idea of the Rosetta Project: http://rosettaproject.org/disk/concept/

> For nearly 20 years there was no such country as Poland on the map, and people who lived on the lands of former Poland were forbidden from even speaking Polish.

Sounds like Poland didn't exist at that time then, if there weren't even people speaking the language.

To my mind a more relevant example would be various governments-in-exile. Wasn't there a case during WWII where a Canadian(?) hospital was redesignated as the territory as one of the occupied countries, so that a princess(?) born there could be legally born on native soil?

One company I recently worked with had 0 scheduled system down time. They also had about 500 manyears worth of technical debt and had to jump through increasingly complex hoops in order to maintain the 0 down time policy.

Short term that looks pretty good though, longer term it is a guaranteed to fail strategy. When and if it catches up with you you're deep trouble.
A lot of this seems like it's just MVC, except what they call the "View" is a traditional MVC Controller (the UI element that handles user interactions and sends these to the Model), what they call the "Controller-View" is a traditional MVC View (something that gets notified when the Model changes and displays that change to the user), and what they call the Dispatcher is what traditional MVC calls the Model.

They write "Flux eschews MVC in favor of a unidirectional data flow", but MVC already has a unidirectional data flow (Controller -> Model -> View). Is this just a case of those who don't understand MVC are compelled to reinvent it?

EDIT: Actually, the main addition over MVC seems to be that the Stores declaratively specify their relationships between one another (which are then resolved by the dispatcher), rather than the developer writing a specific Model implementation that explicitly orders the changes to related elements of the model. I'm a bit suspicious that this would be less explicit, and so harder to maintain, but maybe I'm wrong.
I think your argument fails to account for sites like Hacker News. Yeah, sure you'll get the more or less same information if only read one news site or the other, but if HN links to (say) the Economist, but you can't read it because you're only subscribed to the NYT, whilst others only have WSJ, then you're not reading and discussing the same article as everyone else.
Glad to hear you are thinking on how existing infrastructure could be integrated to Terraform.

I think this is specially important with elastic IPs that have been whitelisted somewhere, e.g. a VPN of a 3rd party service provider. So a way to say, take EIP x.x.x.x, don't ever release it and then indicate what instance to associate it to is great.

Another example of this feature is starting from an existing VPC and build from there, or even actually inherit information from the current state and convert it to an "auto generated plan" to build from. Thanks again Hashicorp for all the great software.

Just because speaking Polish is prohibited doesn't mean it wasn't spoken.
>>Sounds like Poland didn't exist at that time then, if there weren't even people speaking the language.

Of course there were, they just had to do it at home, in secret. My point is, that the entire nation survived even though for two decades they couldn't even identify as Polish in public.

And yes, we also had a government in exile during that time. Heck, we also had a government in exile during communist rule in Poland(1945-1989), which based its operations in London.

The main difference between Flux and MVC is the unidirectional data flow. In MVC, a controller updates a model which updates a view which again talks directly to a model that might invoke another view which again might cause a model update, and so on. In Flux, the only thing a view can do is to invoke actions on the top-level dispatcher. Furthermore, views are never partially updated, they are always re-rendered from scratch every time (like you typically do in the back-end).
I know some indie game developers.

Plenty don't develop for any particular platform. You write your code in Unity3D, and then build for all the platforms it can (Android, IOS, etc) then you build your app for Steam where you make it run on all platforms (ie Windows, Mac and Linux) which is easy because it is almost just a button in Unity.

Then you hope that enough people buy your game to earn the development cost back. You don't develop just for one platform because it is unlikely that you will make enough money to get it back.
It's happening now. I've been in California for a while, the state with the highest taxes, fastest growing companies, and largest population: people are sleeping in the streets like it's the third world. I understand it's just as bad in New York (where I used to live), just much less visible due to climate.

It seems to get steadily worse over time. I believe that the median resident's quality of life in this country is steadily falling in a lot of ways. The things that people used to believe made this country great (e.g. the first half of the 20th century) are today historical anomalies, completely foreign to the ages that came before and after.

The age of American exceptionalism is over and it's turning into just another place where everyone's backward and suffering.

I'm pretty sure that'd get you towed around here. (silicon valley, specifically, this was the rivermark shopping center in santa clara) I mean, I'd probably get away with it for the time I was in the grocery store, but why should I play towing roulette?

Last time I tried to not take up a parking spot, I got towed. I was outside my girlfriend's apartment; there was a bit that was paved, but too small to be a parking spot for a car. It had a bollard in it; No firehydrant or anything, though. I wasn't blocking access to anything.

But I come out the next morning, and I've been towed. Since then, eh, I generally take up a parking spot, because getting towed is like $300, even if your time is free.
It is fine to have KPIs. When KPIs go out of control it is a sign of culture issues, or whatever you want to call it.

KPIs are just that. Indicators. Temperature is an indicator of good climate. If someone's answer to "it is cold in here" is to put a lighter under the thermometer then the problem isn't the thermometer, right? It is the people who are confusing indicators from goals. And that is a culture thing.

If that is your climate though you can still recover from it (I know we are doing way better than before at least:)).

First steps are to embrace ambiguity and uncertainty in evaluations. The culture twist (when I have seen it) comes from "Noone recognises my work" -> "Lets define KPIs for your work" -> "I am not evaluated fairly, look at how much work I do compared to guys that are evaluated better" -> "Lets define guidelines for evaluations based on our KPIs" -> "Everyone (except me) is cheating to score high on the KPIs to get better evaluations" -> "We need better KPIs that can't be cheated on" -> "We are doing a whole amount of stupid stuff because people worry about KPIs".

I think the first two steps are fine. There is direct business value in being able to compare how you are doing compared to the previous month, or some other department or whatever.

The problem comes in the third step - once the KPIs determine how someone is evaluated, then you are in a downwards spiral, because now you are saying that how you get there isn't as important as getting there. To get out of that you need to embrace the ambiguity that comes with letting evaluations happen, and maybe be "unfair".

Basically - uncertainty in evaluations is better than defining evaluations on KPIs. Solve the uncertainly by more discussions and reasoning, not by more rules.
