For live streams, yes, DASH might be super useful.

For on-demand movies, I'd like to it to buffer in advance to a sufficient time length, but don't stutter anymore after that!

Hell I would rather lag for 1 minute for live videos instead of DASH.

I think it boils down to personal habits, would you endure constant small problems with quicker progress, or would rather suffer at the start and enjoy a smooth ride afterwards.
Watch a partially downloaded video while downloading is called streaming.
This is a really cool project, but i was hoping for more detail on the method other than "TinEye's Matching Engine". I guess if you're going to advertise "Computer Vision" you should expect readers to be curious about some of the details.

If we assume the 30 euros a day was an average over the month, not the amount earned each work day, it's not all that different (30*30=900). Within 10% of what you stated at least.

Yes, but you might discover that your content is not valuable.

People are willing to pay for content that is valuable. LWN [1] and the No Agenda Show [2] prove that you don't need ads to produce content that is leagues beyond any ad-supported content.

The underlying reason most newspapers are dying is because they aren't doing anything but regergitating the Associated Press and Reuters. There's no difference between a thoughtful, well investigated new article, and one that's a rehash of the Associated Press or Reuters. Why go through all the work of confirming with credible sources, looking through documents, and interviewing experts when you can get the same number of page views from a syndicated article.

Depends on where you live, of course, but most towns/cities have independent repair shops that do good, solid work. You can find the ones that have good reviews on Yelp or Google.

Disclaimer: My boyfriend runs one of these in Austin; I've invested in it and am now the co-owner. I'm in full support of using a local independent shop after I spilled tea all over my Macbook Pro and killed it completely. He was able to get me back up and running within a couple hours; this was when I decided to invest in his shop.
>> I dare say that someone that's read a book about, say, any given historical era or person, h

Usually history books are on the one hand, so full of details that you'll probably never remember, and on the other hand, rarely condense the context and present patterns and abstractions of the issue .

And unlike technical books , they are pretty awful at just-in-time learning(like just answering a specific question about history), which is an important mode of learning/knowing.

So if you count in long-term understanding and general usefulness, most historical books aren't that great.

Adblockers are not that popular yet, but each time I show adblock and co to someone, that persons just doesn't go back and recommends adblock and co to his family,friends and coworkers. The rise of adblocking solutions WILL be exponential, the heck now some businesses make all their browsers block ads.. It's today that advertisers or sites relying on ad revenue need to find solutions.

One could bare people using adblockers from seeing content("free" pornsites are starting doing that). but then it will just be an escalation in technology. Adblockers will become smarter and ultimately defeat detection techniques.

One can appeal to user's "conscience" by displaying a message stating one relies on ad revenue. I think it's a good compromise if one promises that his ads are discrete like simple pictures or text.

Frankly, years of ad abuse, loud auto-play video ads and flash ads that take over the whole window have made users weary of online advertising.

What is the practicality of an unbounded number of possible graphemes? Does anyone in real writing of languages and not some concocted test case need this? I understood there is some conflict in the encoding of kanji into unicode, does this relate?
I like this analogy. It works with my experience of consciously retraining myself. If you want to change the way you think about or do something, you have to be totally focussed and present, ignoring subconscious messages and doing everything with conscious present focus. It's literally retraining the model of the action in your subconscious. That's brilliant.

Coming from the other side, the reason the POC is so important is because the reality is that we need to get the tech into the hands of the engineers so they can implement it, break it, and then run it for 6 months and troubleshoot it before they know if it's A) any good to begin with and B) a good fit for the problem they want to solve, and they have to do that with your product and whatever competitors are nearby in the Gartner MQ.

I know the sales guys work for their money, but I don't think the above is alot to ask for what could potentially be a quarter of a million dollars in recurring annual revenue.
From the second paragraph of the article:

> Jawbone sued Fitbit in California State Court here on Wednesday, accusing its rival of “systematically plundering” confidential information by hiring Jawbone employees who improperly downloaded sensitive materials shortly before leaving.

Last paragraph:

> According to the court filing, Jawbone is seeking both financial damages and relief from the court to prevent the former employees from using the information Jawbone says they took from the company.

I'm no lawyer, but they could be in trouble even if they didn't get around to sharing documentation, but were planning on doing so after quitting and being courted by a rival.

I used to actively post on facebook a lot through college and a bit later (joined when I started college, the year before facebook opened itself up to non-college accounts). For the last 2-3 years its been an idle account. Used to make several updates a week, now I make 2-3 updates a year. I removed the app a long time ago from my phone because of privacy reasons.

I've noticed I get bombarded with far more notifications as an inactive user than I was when I was active. I get emailed notifications far more frequently when I used to never have them emailed.

A friend posted on your wall? Notification.
Someone liked a post on your wall? Notification.
A friend is having a birthday? Notification.
A friend's birthday is coming up? Notification.
Invited to an event? Event coming up? Event tonight? Notification.
Someone with no connections in common commented on a post you've never read on a large public group that you have never contributed to? Notification.
Someone completely unrelated to you LIKED a post you've never viewed on the same large group? Notification.

Facebook gets desperate when a user starts churning, but holy crap I just do not care. The only reason I keep this account is because of close family on the network. I could divide my friends list by 40 and I don't think I'd miss any of the lost content.

All the stream ever shows is shared posts from Buzzfeed-clones. It's not interesting. It's a feed of spam with a very, very rare text post or meaningful photo.

> You are missing one part, though. If you start giving cash for everyone, it's very likely this will result in raising prices for all commodities.

Only if you aren't taking cash from someone to pay for it; UBI doesn't conjure money from nowhere, it redistributes it. The things disproportionately demanded by those who are better off with UBI will have some rise in prices (but not enough that they fail to be more affordable to those purchasing them in normal cases) and the things disproportionately demanded by those who are worse off will have some decline in prices.

> And there you go for a another downward spiral, where you have to readjust the basic income every couple of years to make up for the inflated prices.

What you probably want to with BI isn't target a particular standard of living, but target just below the inflation tipping point set by production technology and market factors, where BI is just below the level where it would lead to runaway inflation because of people leaving the workforce reducing supply (the real inflation danger, rather than redistribution of income spiking demand). This is sort of a fiscal version of what central banks do for monetary policy in managing interest rates. (BI is essentially self-limiting to this point in the long-run, in that if you don't tail-chase by increasing nominal amount inflation will drive the value of BI down to the sustainable level. But there's lots of disruption in that adjustment, so if you are going to have BI, you want to actively manage it to avoid overshooting by too much and to correct more quickly than inflation would correct it.)

The resulting standard of living that is sustainable with BI probably won't be what most BI advocates would like to see anytime soon, because production won't support it; but it should rise with advances in technology.
Microsoft's Plans to Fork and Extend Node.js Alarms Developers
I ran across this repo yesterday while searching for an explanation of github releases (not a very searchable term...).

The release notes for version 2.2.0 mention their [cucumber specs](https://github.com/github/hub/tree/master/features), which look like a good example of using BDD in a full project.

And then I wandered off and got distracted by a UTF-8 problem in the Hebrew localization of Test::BDD::Cucumber.

I got lost. Your content is not valueable, ok plausible. Then, newspapers are dying because they only show (valuable) articles?

I think rather, its not the value of the information that's at issue. Its the monopoly on the source that's valuable. Once the monopoly is gone, once you can get the same stuff for free somewhere else, then nobody pays.

And all information on the web is free somewhere.

Thanks a ton for writing this up
This is true of any software that's freely redistributable. There's nothing particular to FOSS that enables what's going on in this case. (In theory, the source allows them to change it at the source-level and bake the badware in, but SourceForge doesn't seem to be doing that.)

You be fair too. The instance-of-computation model of personal identity allows for cells of your brain to come and go, but as long as the whole thing is operating continuously, you remain. It is exactly analogous to my car example.

Yes, the nymph stage is particularly bad, because they are so small it is easy to miss them. Suburban areas and rural parks might actually have more problems with ticks because of the lack of natural predators for the ticks' hosts.
Streaming is real-time. A download is to watch later. The main difference in use is that you want a stream to have very low latency, while for a download it doesn't matter much. YouTube in particular has been working on time-to-first-frame and reducing stutter. If it takes 5 minutes to start watching a YouTube video, or to skip around in a video, people will leave and do something else because that is super frustrating. YouTube will use the highest video quality that your connection can handle in real-time.

Oh dear. More quantum mumbo jumbo and obvious fallacy.

1. Quantum mechanics tells us that matter obeys the Schrodinger equation and has wave properties. Therefore, the classical definition of matter is slightly wrong. This in no way implies that matter doesn't exist.

You're right that "matter" as imagined by many classical scientists doesn't exist (because they didn't fully understand it), but you're ignoring the fact that it obviously still exists independently of how classical scientists imagined it to work.

Quantum (in)determinism is still up in the air. We don't know exactly how it works. Anyone who uses it for philosophical arguments is probably not making a good argument.

In what way do bosons refute materialism? Is helium-4 immaterial? Obviously not. I can hold it in a bottle. I can feel it on my skin. I can fill my lungs with this boson and talk in a squeaky voice.
I'm from the UK, but it's the same for most countries. Moving companies in the same field is not illegal, it's called a career.
I'm a rationalist.

An honest rationalist is logically compelled to be an immaterialist. Immaterialism does not imply theism.

What is strange about today is that the materialists themselves have discovered their own refutation, but instead of just acknowledging it, they redefined their favorite word "matter" to have all the properties of the things that are incompatible with matter. They proved themselves right by redefining their word to mean its opposite--to mean what the opponents of materialism always claimed.

What are the properties of mind?

* unextended, like the photon (Descartes)

* indeterministic, like the collapse of the quantum wave function that occurs "randomly" rather than "deterministically"

* perceiving, like Schrodinger's observer who causes the collapse of the wavefunction when he perceives the cat

Berkeley the famous immaterialist empiricist idealist said, "To be is to be perceived" ... and now quantum physics says the same thing... but insist that they are still materialists.

It's really quite hilarious.
I quite like the idea however what I personally need and would use, and I'm sure the majority, is how do I get from A to B.

Say I'm earning 80k and I want to be earning 200k. 200k is my goal, what are the steps I make to get there?
Its not a foregone conclusion that commodities will rise in price if everybody has a bit more money. The rich have a whole lot more money. So the influx may raise prices, but never as much as to make the BI useless. In fact they'd have to go up infinitely to make any money useless, right?

And its entirely likely the money will be conjured up from nowhere - minted for the purpose. This solves two problems. One is that taxes need not be raised to cover the cost. The other is, it becomes a small builtin inflation that serves to redistribute wealth. That's a good thing in America at the moment.

And if the BI isn't universal, if its means-tested, then you're missing the point entirely. The testing of means is flawed, very expensive, and inaccurate. Its always gamed to disincentivize folks from getting a job, which is probably a bad thing. And it turns it into a patronizing system again, where big brother decides who's worthy.
this looks interesting; though i think the design should be more search focused like how google's homepage is; with the searchbar at the top is good for results, but it should be more center for the homepage; like, there's a bunch of other stuff going on there that I don't care about; i'm there to search. It's distracting, really.

Otherwise, keep at it! the more diversity we have the better.
There's no need to be so confrontational about this. Everyone agrees it is speculation; I think we need to have room for people to speculate and discuss speculation without being ridiculed about the fact that it's not fact (which of course everybody already knows).

Herodotus, Plutarch, and Aurelius all lived thousands of years after the period discussed by the book.

And a considerable portion of the book is devoted to exploring the possibility of consciousness being something very different from what we imagine it to be, yes; something not necessarily required for civilization or law. Calling that "useless sophistry" isn't really proof otherwise, it's just dismissing the idea out of hand.

Hinduism is made of a large array of different traditions evolving together over thousands of years. The early texts do not have that "obsession with consciousness" (and this, also, is discussed extensively in the book). Buddhism, also, post-dates his proposed "bicameral" period by millenia.

Nobody thinks this explanation is true, just extremely interesting and worthy of discussion.
What is jailbreaking? How can select a proper jailbreak that fits my device?
I'm not the parent but I'll stop considering myself a "materialist" then. I'm not wedded to the term. What should I call myself? A physicalist?

I'll try to describe the position that I (and I think most of the people you're debating with here) hold, without leaving too many terms undefined.

There exist reliably measurable external, non-mental, things. Ok, the physicalist says, consciousness does not arise from little material billiard balls bumping into one another. We have a more complex picture now of the composition of the external world, and so consciousness arises from that. This position does not rely on determinism; it can comfortably coexist with the kind of structured randomness seen in quantum physics.

It also doesn't logically exclude dualism, but as far as we know, only permits a kind of one-way dualism where some conscious substance exists as a consequent but not a cause of physical processes. Put another way, I don't believe we have discovered anything about the external world that requires the kind of explanation that consciousness can provide.

I understand your annoyance – I feel the same way about people who say they aren't "atheist", then go on to describe their textbook atheist beliefs. Though I end up doing it more than I'd like, it doesn't help to reprimand those people for what I see as a misuse of words, any more than you calling people "completely illogical" helps here. Arriving at different conclusions based on different definitions of terms is entirely logical. It's more constructive to find common ground in what people mean than to argue about definitions.
Have you abandoned preprocessors altogether?
This idea of Milton Friedman's that "inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon" needs to die already. It's wrong in every possible sense.
