It seems you're talking about what William James called the "Mind Stuff Theory" [1]. He ended up rejecting it, but even a hundred years later our conceptions are too muddled to have good arguments either way.

I think these things are hard to master. I think it's ambitious to ask children to master these things. I like this.
A "movie" depends on the tech presenting it. For typical projectors, yes. It's discrete frames.

Other displays could vary! A display capable of incrementally updating the picture could show motion as a series of changes without there actually being a frame, just deltas... Done quickly, this would approximate what the human eye does.

In the context of this process, "frame" would refer to the changes to the projected image. Each of those changes would be a "frame"

But, if the object being rendered is actually in motion during the cure, there will be interpolation between those "frames", resulting in a very analog like product.

The motion would be "frames" too, as each micro-step would presumably be a controlled atomic thing, but those movements would not necessarily need to be keyed to the changes in the projected image.

Take both of those up in terms of rates and precision, and it's all going to blend together, particularly as both push the material to it's change rate limits.

Think "motion blur" when motion exceeds capture rates, or in the case of analog film, where reality "smears" onto the film while a shutter is open.
New 3D Printing Method Dramatically Speeds Up Production
From my experience (with one app published in that time frame) it's… meh. The review process is fast, granted (<1 business day), but the enforcement of rules is as arbitrary and byzantine as with Apple, with no useful appeal process.
Overuse of the word "Awesome" is a bad smell for a workplace.
This is very similar to "death spiral financing" in which lenders are guaranteed enough stock to return the loan plus interest, regardless of the stock price. Here, investors instead of lenders are receiving very similar guarantees. It doesn't usually work out well for later stage investors.
> that's what i'm saying. i wish they did.

Their terms weren't secret a year ago. At no point have they said "None of these apply if you make us money".
> That said, a Kleiner victory is well within the realm of the possible. Many women in the tech industry are concerned that Pao’s case is weak and that her accusations might exacerbate bias in the workplace. "I worry that it will make a lot more men feel that—being nice to and mentoring and trying to be a good person toward women colleagues—they, too, will be hauled before a jury," says Melinda Riechert, managing partner in the Silicon Valley office of law firm Morgan Lewis. For example, a key allegation in the case is that a Kleiner partner, Randy Komisar, behaved inappropriately when he gave Pao a volume of Leonard Cohen’s poems and drawings (entitled Book of Longing) on Valentine’s Day and asked her out to dinner on a night when his wife was out of town. Komisar says it was completely friendly and that his wife bought the book for Pao. Will men now retreat from cordial gestures toward female colleagues?

Does anyone else not see the immediate disconnect here?

I agree that Pao's case is weak but:

It juxtaposes that with a woman saying something about "being nice and mentoring" while pointing out at the same time a married man is handing out gifts on Valentine's Day.

I mean, come on. Does anyone seriously think that was anything other than hitting on Pao?

Any other day of the year it would have been fine. That specific day out of the 365 options was picked solely for that implication. It just feels weird to me that they'd compose things that way in the article.

"Being nice" - Doing nice things for a woman on days other than those dedicated to romance.

"Hitting on a woman" - Doing nice things and inviting her to be alone with you on a day dedicated to romance.

How is this not a clear line?
I'd love to understand more about how the face recognition works. Does it have any way to combat someone just printing out a picture of your face and holding it up? I've done some simple face recognition stuff with OpenCV and it's super easy to fool with photos.

The point is that it should be ok to be skeptical but it seems that climate change has become a religious debate with believers and non-believers. the science is not all that black-white. And even if it were I'd still recommend people to be skeptical and wonder "from where the money comes."

We know now that many of the published models overestimated the rising temperatures. The governments are changing policies based on these faulty models. There are real and bad consequences from these changed policies. Meanwhile politicians don't understand climate science at all. It is a dangerous situation. I just want to say that there is reason to be optimistic. In the 80s I had kids in class crying in their beds at night over the hole in the ozone layer. Images in my head of skin cancers everywhere... I'd rather put some nicer images in the heads om my children. Sure they should appreciate nature but it is better to work on nuclear fusion than spending energy on the banning of fossil fuels and get that ridiculous situation you have in the US where you waste precious soil on ethanol "bio"fuels. Or this situation in Europe where you can get monstrously large vehicles on the cheap (you pay less taxes) because they can drive some kilometers on a crappy electrical engine before switching to gasoline.

Meanwhile I can't be a critic of climate change without getting a retard or f-ing republican stamp on my forehead (I see that that guy deleted his comment by the way).
Apple: what to expect next
@matthewn (can't reply directly to you) - hah! You're right, Anthony Lane is hilarious. And the opera reviews can be boring if you (like me) are not into opera. But you know what I mean =)
That's the reason why we added the little bit of information about page-views to try and guide the user a little in case they had a store already.

We very quickly know when a store is under attack and we either (where possible) drop the malicious traffic, or we absorb it. We had a customer on our free tier (30k requests) that ended up processing over 3 million during a 2 day attack, his site stayed up and we still didn't charge him.
I don't think this trial has much to do with larger women in tech issues. There's a lot of politics at play for ALL employees of VC firms and this doesn't sound any different.

If you've been following all of the coverage of this case, Pao isn't coming off well.

She states that it was discriminatory that she didn't get her review on time. Unprofessional to have a delayed review? Yes. Gender harassment? No. Instead of doing her review, they just gave her a bonus of $150,000 and a $40,000 raise (that she claims not to remember).

http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2015/03/ellen-pao-was-res...

From this article:

> Pao has also raised an incident in which one of the firm’s senior partners, former Hewlett-Packard Chairman Ray Lane, asked her and a second female colleague to takes notes at a partners' meeting. "I just froze, I wasn’t sure what to do," Pao testified on the stand.

I'm a man in a managerial position. I've been asked to take notes many times in meetings. Sometimes I do, sometimes I have to talk a lot and so someone else has to.

> Kleiner waited too long to fire a male partner who seemed to be treating the firm as his own private dating website.

Pao and Nazre were dating and both married at the time. There's a ton of he said she said, but to put it all on Nazre isn't fair.

[EDIT] I was incorrect about this. See Anechoic's comment below.

Pao has stated that she took the Reddit CEO role because she couldn't get a job as an investor. Honestly, Reddit CEO sounds like a much better job than all but the most senior of investment positions.

There's a lot to this story, and it's getting legs because gender issues in tech are a HOT topic right now. I don't see any of this case having larger implications though.

[EDIT] Please don't just downvote me. If you disagree, leave a reply.
Clorox is also paying a 2.7% dividend. Campbell is 2.8%. Would be reasonable to bump those five year annual returns up to perhaps ~13% and ~7.5% (let's assume the dividend was lower five years ago).
We are talking about C and not a specific compiler, so there are a lot of mistakes in your comment.

char * * is a pointer to a pointer to a char and nothing else, it might be a NULL terminated array or not at all.

C cares about types. Casting a pointer to an incompatible type or reinterpreting through an incompatible pointer is not defined in C( undefined behavior ).

Pointers of different types are allowed to have different sizes. sizeof( char* ) == sizeof( char* * ) is not guaranteed in C.

Also any program whose main is not int main( void ) or int main( int , char* * ) will result in undefined behavior.

All of this is in the latest standard.

Both, segfaulting or running completely normally can be a result of undefined behavior. That is why we really like to avoid it in C. Thus your advice is really not good for a modern C.
Not at all. Carbon is a company; and building a company is just as difficult as building a technology (though a totally different skill set).

It's not that engineers aren't important, but they shouldn't be running the company. It's not the skill they have cultivated. They do still probably have a significant equity stake, so all is not lost.
That's an extraordinarily disingenuous description of the status quo.

MegaUpload was explicitly meant to host pirated content, and Kim Dotcom (a convicted felon) explicitly arranged for it to be seeded with pirated content. It was possible to use it for other things, but that's not why it existed.

I get that the popular narrative is that he's supposed to be a victim, but let's be honest about it: he didn't "fail to be restrictive enough", he actively aided, abetted, and encouraged copyright violations.

Using Mega as an example of a victim only makes you look like a kook, a liar, or a moron to the people who actually need to be influenced.
On a closely related note, I read a very interesting piece about "curb cuts" in San Francisco.

http://www.spur.org/publications/article/2008-06-01/eye-stre...

The image showing the difference between Park Slope (without curb cuts) and a stretch of Dolores street in San Francisco (with curb cuts) is really eye-opening.

It's a bummer, because a lot of SF really is small and walkable, but you know, we really do spend a lot of time dodging cars on the sidewalk. I didn't notice as much this until I had kids, because while you can dodge the cars coming and going across the sidewalk as an adult (or the cars just parked on the sidewalk, which is common here but nearly impossible without curb cuts), for a kid, it actually is dangerous.

It's a shame that SF allows curb cuts to render even the sidewalks a hazardous place for people (esp kids) to walk, cause let's face it, SF likes to tout itself as a more urban city with a vibrant pedestrian life.

The irony is that curb cuts - the bit of concrete cut out of a curb so a car can get out of the driveway and onto the street, doesn't even increase parking much, since it divides the street up into tiny bits of actual curb too small to fit a car! What it does is take a spot from the public and turns it into a private "reserved" street space. In fact, one study estimated that 50% of garages in the mission are unusable for parking (used instead for storage or other purposes), so really, this is just a reserved parking spot on the street.

infringement. my app was called Nexus Photos. before submitting i read that google was denied the trademark on the name nexus. i also sent an email before publishing the app to google play, and they said it's ok to use the word "Nexus" in the title. i provided this info in my appeal. but the appeal was refused. as i said, they were right, but removing the app with no warning was brutal.

This is only representative of W15 companies. We don't have a list of countries overall, since it's not something we've always tracked. But that would certainly be interesting to see.

It's also funny that Americans speak of an all encompassing Canadian accent, when Canadians would never lump the Texan, Minnesotan, or New Jersey accents together. We are a vast, sporadically populated country with as many accents as any other huge territory.
Sadly that's pretty much how "comprehension tests" in the South worked in order to keep black people from voting.
Windows Hello uses a combination of special hardware and software to accurately verify it is you – not a picture of you or someone trying to impersonate you. The cameras use infrared technology to identify your face or iris and can recognize you in a variety of lighting conditions.

and later in the webpage:

all OEM systems incorporating the Intel® RealSense™ 3D Camera (F200) will support the facial and iris unlock features of Windows Hello

So by reading this we can assume it does more than 2D recognitions since this is a "3D Camera"
seems like the design minimizes the runs that are underwater. The gulf is VERY deep at the center, and the distance saved is probably negligible compared to the easier to maintain overland routes. Just my guess though.
This really is copyright theft - not what MPAA keeps claiming that pirating a movie is. That's just copryright infringement. Here, UMG is actually stealing the copyright rights of the artists and makes them its own.
It's impossible to have 'enough' parking spots. Induced demand shows that cars, like goldfish, always grow to fill the space they're given. It's politically difficult process, but just refusing to try to solve this problem (which leads to more New Urbanism-friendly locations) is often the right solution.
I've written a lot of Scala and I don't think I've seen anything as slow as even 1 line/second. Odersky was talking about Shapeless, which is an edge case in that it is a home for all the type-heavy calculations that scalac can compile but isn't currently optimised towards.

We also felt that it meant the people building the sites also had an incentive to be more careful about the way they did it - like sharing resources across a session and limiting the calls per page, or implementing caching. All of which actually improve the user experience due to slightly faster page loads, which in eCommerce is crucial.
Ah, so reading between the lines I'm going to guess they're building Win 10 devices with a built in kinect-like device that does depth sensing in addition to photo recognition.
So many poor quality apps though on their marketplace, I don't think they have any other choice but to revert to a manual review process.
Just my two cents, but I see your point of view as well.

Why is it easy to circumvent your checkout flow? I would own the money transfer. If a developer doesn't want to build their own store, they probably don't want to bother implementing Stripe themselves either (and I probably have no clue how to estimate how many API calls I need).

Do your target customers really need payment gateway flexibility? The biggest drivers (I can think of) would be acceptance (by country & payment type) and transaction fee.

You don't have to call it 5%+, you could frame it as 1% + whatever the payment gateway you choose charges. That doesn't feel too egregious.
Even the OpenBSD people seem to think it's a car worth keeping, just in need of an engine overhaul and better maintenance. They didn't throw out OpenSSL and write their own SSL library (like they have with other things), but rather forked it and cleaned it up.

This is an important point. I wonder if they're going to have hardware standards for the fingerprint readers. Low-quality finger print readers can be spoofed with prints lifted from everyday sources.
She's already lost the job and it's not like they're going to publicise her grievance. I really can't see what risk there is to her of raising the issue. If I was her I'd also ask for their company policy on this sort of behaviour.
I noticed they are working with ClassInd but are not clear how.

I really hope this won't open the door to censorship on Android, one of the reasons why I make mobile games is exactly to circunvent ClassInd (as the article calls it).

Here in Brazil, to release any entertainment product (even live Circus Shows are included on this), you must first ask the Ministry of Justice to give you a rating, the process, specially for things that aren't a Circus Show, is very long, slow and cumbersome (example: you need to do it again every time you make an official update of your software, and the process involves writing lots of paperwork, sending the physical papers to the Ministry, and waiting AT LEAST 30 days).

Although officially they claim it is NOT censorship, the process is mandatory for all entertainment, even if free, the law allow them to punish (with 2 years in prison and fines) anyone that are distributing, storing, selling, buying or creating things without ratings, and they can deny rating you (meaning that even if you ask, if they deny the rating, you are de-facto censored).

This does have an obvious effect here:

People here create fake US accounts to buy stuff on Xbox Live and PSN, because the local versions of XBL and PSN follow the law, and has much less content.

Steam don't have official Brazillian offices, although recently they stated to charge in BRL, and have portuguese translations, the charging part is handled by Brazillian companies and credit card processors, in a way that if Brazil government go ater Steam, Steam can just cut-off Brazil (and let the CC processors take the blame and the lawsuit).

Apple for a while, got in conflict with the government here, the Ministry of Justice threatened to sue Apple for 2000 BRL for each unrated app, back then 300.000 unrated apps already existed, Apple in response just set entire categories to be hidden from iTunes users with Brazillian IPs or accounts (leading to lots of fake accounts, sometimes using stolen CCs, and iTunes access using proxies).

Eventually, some merciful judge ruled that since Apple don't have offices here, they don't have to follow our law, opening access again.

Also, like I said, I make mobile apps to avoid that law, what I do is that I have a Brazil company, a Swiss company, and then I make the Swiss company, hire the Brazil company to create software for hire, then the Swiss company that "create" the completed entertainment software, and sells it (including to Brazillian users, that frequently pay with international CC, of course this leads to lots of inefficiency, since I have to pay taxes on exchanging CHF to BRL, after users already paid taxes on exchanging BRL to CHF, beside the exchange fees, the sale tax from Brazil to Switzerland, and the income taxes on both Brazil and Switzerland).
What are the odds this turns out to be practical advice for this example?

High. E.g. gcc 4.8.2 vectorizes this on my machine (-march=native -mtune=native -O3 -ffast-math -ftree-vectorizer-verbose=1):

for (size_t i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
sum += a[i];
sum += b[i];
}

(a and b have the same length)

But doesn't vectorize:

for (double *p = a; p < a + n; ++p) {
sum += *p;
sum += *(b + (p-a));
}

(Yes, you can make an extra pointer for b, but just for the sake of the example.)

tl;dr: your compiler writer probably knows better than you.
That's the literal genesis of Coca Cola. The syrup was originally developed by a pharmacist for stomach ailments. Carbonation was added to help digestion.
the problem is, UMG do have their own people for this. every little mom&pop shop has an army of lawyers, but some companies are so despised they need additional resources for challenges like those.

a lot of musicians and movie stars challenge their opponents to fist fights on a regular basis; and sometimes you get a mickey rourke or an uwe boll, brawlers who know what they're doing, or muscled rappers with a shady past and diamond rings on their fingers that aren't for show.

so UMG hires the biggest, meanest colombian war criminals, send them to fist fight college and employ those guys as "sekundanten" (sorry, no idea about the english term here - stand ins for duels).

poor bjorn lynne wouldn't stand a chance.
well she did have an affair with a married coworker, so how are other men supposed to judge her? You make that kind of serious mistake in a professional environment and people are right to judge your competence. They did try/fire the guy involved over her objection.

As for handing out valentine gifts, hell my entire work place would be in trouble for gifts, cards, and the like. We celebrate a lot different events, though you learn real quick whom to avoid as some people look to take offense; not saying she did. The can subpoena the gift giver's wife to see if that side of his story holds up. As for asking her out, she already demonstrated that marriage was no barrier.

Let's be honest. We only get a picture, one tinted by personal views and time. It will be interesting what the court digs up and how the final determination comes about.

But were these networks added by selecting from the list, or by typing their name? From what I read, that's what makes it set the internal "hidden SSID" flag, not whether the network actually has a hidden SSID or not.

See for instance the post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2634042 ("Any network added manually with the '+' icon will have scan_ssid=1. Any network picked from the list of scan results will not have a scan_ssid property.")
