>This is not a race issue. This is an inner city culture problem.

You realise that racist policies around suburb building and home loans cause the inner cities to be mostly black? White people got cheap home loans to move into nice neighbourhoods. And that's one of the reason people are calling it a race issue.

Well perhaps you could actually prove the correctness of coq itself.

In any case it's just a matter of reliability in the traditional sense: we're going to end with a small set of statements that will have to be verified by humans upon which we can rest everything else. Those statements will need enough people looking at them to get a level of certainty we're comfortable with.

I believe the risk of a major flaw going unnoticed is astronomically low, and the good thing is this certainty propagates all the way to modern proofs if we take care to go through formal verification.

We already have a working Sleeping Beauty hardware prototype and iPhone app. The size will be like a hockey puck. Sleeping Beauty uses a low self-discharge nickel–metal hydride battery(LSD NiMH). After 2 Years in sleep mode there is still 75% energy left.

For your watch I would recommend a NFC solution which is much smaller but you could protect the whole cabinet with Sleeping Beauty. I also just got the feedback to use it for a firearm locker - so there are many use cases.

Just to be clear: tracking your dog with Sleeping Beauty will discharge the battery within a short period, just like any other device. But Sleeping Beauty will protect the Porsche convertable in your barn for two years instead of two months.
I would say that is critical.

That video is actively deceptive in at least one point:

He starts out explaining that current engines lack realistic lighting.

Then he shows scenes with realistic lighting.

He fails to mention that current engines create lighting from mathematical formulas and can be changed easily and on the fly. In fact for many of them it's entirely possible to change the day time in realtime, resulting in changes of lighting direction, intensity, color.

Meanwhile the Euclideon lighting looks realistic because it's rendering camera-recorded images onto voxels, which also means that the lighting cannot be changed at all. It's a static snapshot. In order to get different lighting into the scenes he's shown they'd need to do a different recording at another time of day, and of course completely arbitrary lighting is impossible at anything near that level of quality.
That sounds really interesting - if you're on the slack ping me @dkrevitt, would love to try it out.

I got a lot of criticism for my comment because I said I was not very impressed by this (mostly because my field of research is very close to what he did). Just like some people think that formatting a PC is black magic, simply because they have no idea how any of that works, but we here now that it is pretty straight-forward.

As an analogy closer to developers, would you be impressed if a 17 years old built a simplistic CRUD phone number agenda app? I'm sure some of you here were accomplishing much greater things by that age. It does not impress you because you know the complexity is not very high, even though the kid is 17 years old.

So while I think we should always encourage science and research at younger ages, I keep my opinion that this is not as impressive as some might believe.

ps.: as per your comment, well, no one can solve all the problems in the world. They lack time to absorb knowledge to understand everything that is out there, and that's why we have specialized education. These people you are mentioning (and me, since you directed it to me) have other problems to solve.
Honestly, screw those people. They profiteered off of human misery and enslavement and their actions directly and indirectly wrought chaos on communities worldwide.

I know it's a pipe dream, but personally I think anyone involved with imprisoning drug users / dealers should see the inside of a jail cell themselves.
I used to think the drug war was the problem. Not anymore. Think about the high-profile police shootings of unarmed black men over the past year. Not a single one of those was over drugs. They were all "walking while black". Ending the drug war would not, on its own, end the "walking while black" problem.

The family structure breakdown among the poor is directly, painfully correlated to the high incarceration rate. Absent fathers are absent because they're in jail, or expect they will be sooner or later, or because they're ashamed because they are unable to provide for their children.

One of my best friends is a doctor in Orlando, who happens to be black. Back during the Trayvon Martin shooting, he told me he would not even drive through Sanford. He didn't feel safe - from the police. In his daily life, he's a key administrator at a large hospital and a radiologist. In Sanford? He's a black man driving a car too nice for him.

That's not about the war on drugs.
This is typical of them. To do my best to take a jab at them every time I can, when I am forced to pay with PayPal, I specifically select my AMEX to pay because it has the highest transaction fees for them.
For me, it's not that I prefer PayPal, it's that I don't want to give my credit card details to a business if I'm not sure they can keep it reasonably secure.

And the fewer places I have my card the better. You might get the same results with Amazon Payments, unless you have an international audience.
"It uses the hosts file to block ads..."

You could also run your own "localhost" DNS to block ads. This is a bit more flexible than the HOSTS file. Even if you are a novice, I believe once you have this setup working, you will never go back to third party DNS such as your ISP or openresolvers like Google, OpenDNS, etc. Just my personal opinion.

By using DNS you can also block ads across all your devices, at least on your home LAN. You use one device to block ads on all your devices by making the one device a gateway for the others. No need to root the devices; just change the gateway in network settings.

It all works beautifully. Maybe someone should do a startup?
It seems like there is real demand for blocking ads and the current solutions leave much to be desired.

On the free side, I can package a working solution on a bootable USB stick, SD card, CD, etc. Or I can make it a userspace kernel, Xen kernel or some other virtualized format for the "container" enthusiasts.

Without expending any effort to reduce size of the bootable kernel the whole thing (with embedded filesystem) weighs in at about 20MB.

Enough configuration has already been done so all you have to do is come up with a spare computer (e.g., old laptop, PC), boot and enjoy the ad free experience.

You can also block google-analytics, mobile apps than phone home, etc. You can stop your Apple devices from being the beacons they are: they phone home to multiple domains constantly 24/7. Running your own DNS also makes redirections easier, e.g., when you are monitoring SSL traffic being sent from apps, etc. The list goes on.

Note I am not denigrating the HOSTS file. I regularly make use of the HOSTS file in tandem with DNS, but not to block ads.
Too bad the main developer left, but uBlock Origin is the best ad blocker available. The speed difference is very noticable, especially on mobile devices.
Wow, nothing but complaints about PayPal here. Interesting to keep in mind next time the Elon Musk hagiography starts up again...
An entire extent could be lost(or zeroed?) which means serious corruption to your file(s) at time of writing if the cards fall in the right order.

I see no indication that this is a 4.0-specific issue. This code has existed for a long time. They fixed it in "stable kernels 4.0.3 as well as much older stable kernels."

edit: major corruption is possible, not just slight, because an extent can be 128Mib on a 4K block size filesystem.

"They both got harrassed pretty evenly" - If you look at the national statistics, this is definitely not the case, so your anecdote unfortunately isn't representative.

E.g. see http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/magazine/january_february_2...

"in investigatory stops, a black man age twenty-five or younger has a 28 percent chance of being stopped for an investigatory reason over the course of a year; a similar young white man has a 12.5 percent chance, and a similar young white woman has only a 7 percent chance. And this is after taking into account other possible influences on being stopped, like how you drive. " [in other words, this sample has been corrected for any difference in base-rate of justification for being stopped].

The interesting thing is, profiling like this can be a self-fulfilling prophecy; if the base-rate of drug possession is equal between blacks and whites, but blacks are stopped more often, then there will be a higher number of arrests of blacks per-capita, and it will look like blacks are more likely of committing a crime. This higher crime rate looks like a justification for profiling, when in fact it's just an artifact of the profiling that was done.

[Note I'm not making any claims about the actual base rate of drug possession, just illustrating an effect with an example]
The headline is deeply misleading. The technique discussed applies only to a specific driving situation, and only to a specific failure mode: that in which the firmware decides it is safe to overtake on a freeway when in fact it is not. There are thousands of other driving situations in which firmware, due to bugs, inadequate inputs, or the innate shortcomings of any algorithm, could cause a collision. There are also many other failure modes that could cause a collision when overtaking on a freeway.

Problem not solved. Sorry.

Every filesystem contains edge case bugs that lose data. The answer to whether everyone reading this story should go upgrade their kernel right now to avoid this one depends on factors like how probable it is that users will hit this one, and how risky the fix is.

The project maintainers are in the best position to make that call.
IMHO most of the success was due to being featured. Being featured was mainly due to having contacts at Apple and Google. Having contacts is out of reach for most developers. There are only so many developers Apple and Google can have a relationship with and there are only so many apps that can be featured.
A lot of people seem to focus on WCF has an over-engineered SOAP framework. While that's very true, it is also the powerful successor to .NET original remoting framework. So WCF represents the unification of several different libraries and frameworks into one, for better or worse.

It would not surprise me to find enterprises still using WCF for interprocess communication and/or remote method invocation. When both client and server are .NET programs, most of the time it just works in my experience.

Do you have numbers to backup the claim that those other crimes are occurring at a higher rate than the number of arrests/convictions for them? In other words, would every "War on Drugs" arrest translate into a "more useful" arrest if we eliminated the War on Drugs (and refocused on other crimes)? My feeling is that it wouldn't.

It is ridiculously easy to create simple GUI apps with it, its limitations force you to write straightforward code (otherwise it becomes too much of a hassle and you go to another language) and provides a very good debugging environment which allow you to inspect and modify a program as it is running in a graphical way.

It is basically an extremely simple scripting language attached to a GUI designer (literally, originally VB was supposed to allow different languages to be used with it, but the feature was dropped).

Also it is instant fast on modern hardware.

Most people who have a grudge against VB1-6 have it either because they have no idea what they were talking about and are just parroting others (to be honest, i did that at the past), or were exposed to it via a project that abused it in ways that it wasn't meant to be (ab)used.

A while ago i made this little sprite editor in VB5:

It isn't anything special but it is actually quite useful if you're making low-res pixelart 2D games and personally i had fun making it (the first version also took me only a weekend although i added a few features since then).

Having said that, i do not expect Microsoft to bring back VB6 nor release the source code since now they seem to focus away from the desktop and VB6 is a full 1005 desktop technology.

They are NOT attempting to pass this in secret. The negotiation of the treaty is secret, as is normal for trade agreements, but the final proposed treaty will be presented publicly to Congress for a vote.

Trade agreements are negotiated in secret because if they were not it would be impossible to ever finish negotiating. Suppose that during negotiation, you at one point have some terms agreed to that are very favorable for, say, your automobile industry. At a later point, you get a chance to get favorable terms for, say, your consumer electronics industry, but to get those you are going to have to give up some of those favorable automobile industry terms.

If you are doing this in public, you now will have the automobile industry mobilizing every lobbyist it has to try to keep all the tentative favorable terms you have for them. Congressmen who are from states and districts where the automobile industry is strong will be holding hearings, and demanding that the negotiators return to Washington to testify.

At the same time, the consumer electronics industry will be doing the same thing to try to make sure that you do go for the favorable terms to them at the expense of the automobile industry.

The same thing will be going on for every other industry that might be affected by the treaty, and also for interested non-industry groups, like environmental groups and labor organizations.

In theory, they shouldn't. Its not allowed by Blizzard, and if memory serves, Blizzard considers it a breach of EULA and takes the account down as a whole. PayPal was supposed to be cracking down when this was rampant, because essentially its an illegal product.

But people are not being locked up just because they are black, or poor. They are committing crimes, and pleading or being found guilty.

I have a friend, someone that has been my friend for 30 years, who is in prison right now for drugs.

He wasn't incarcerated because he's black. He was incarcerated because he was caught selling marijuana and laundering money.

I, on the other hand, chose a different path in life. I made the decision to not get involved with the things that he was doing. I have no criminal record and I'm every bit as black as he is.

I agree that fatherlessness is the key component here. The best predictor of criminality in young people is the presence of a father in the home. This holds true across racial and socioeconomic backgrounds. The large number of single parent households in the black community has a lot to do with the high levels of crime in the inner cities.

10 Studies That Support the Case for Remote Work
I've worked for a competitor. Independent of the quality of their products SAP is still a big software company and the German software marked makes up roughly 50% of the entire European market. At least that was the case around 2012 haven't checked since (SAP alone is responsible for most of it).
My point is merely that Germany is hardly a software wasteland and the assertion that "the talented people flock to traditional engineering" is somewhat dubious (imo).

There's some cultural indicators that programming is a topic of interest as well (the existence and size of the CCC for example).
