Yeah what percent of that 24 percent is actually commuters? I have no idea but I'd wager single digits. I honestly stopped right at the start of the article because reading this told me this was an agenda piece likely the outcome of a risk management firm's press stash.

As I read the article which hit a lot of my favorite stretches of measure and the assumptions underlying inference I couldn't help but notice the only instance of "trans" is transcendence in a footnote.

One can't help but wonder how do you factor the generational recursion these traits have. We know how much some of these are due to our environmental exposure, and how we are socially trained.

Transgender people are in the crux of this colossal attempt to define personality by measure, and yet I literally do not see us mentioned even once. I'd like to know where a set of my cohort follow in this D measure from their assigned gender to their expression. Are nonbinaries truly in the middle?

What does this distance look like in settings where traits are conditionally measured? E.G. how do highly empathetic men compare to highly empathetic women?

These questions are salient to me because I am in the early stages of transition myself and I find articles like this always lacking key details to sate my curiosity.

Not sure why you think it's easier to take that on faith than complete the square, but I'm sure you never tutored new students to mathematics. At this point we are taking all of abstract algebra and some number theory for granted in anyone's education. Pedagogically it's easier to understand, the thesis of the article.

The flight dynamics document is actually quite a useful summary: http://marekcel.pl/docs/mscsim_doc.pdf

Funny, that missed me. I FAFSA'd out of support due to my parents income and didn't get a dime from my parents. I suppose they supported me with the clothes on my back, but that is about it. I'm pretty sure I sit with a majority of my generation, and I find the only people placating this abusive pillaging to be those who simply do not perceive it is happening. In practice sufficient wealth to contribute doesn't mean the motivation nor incentive. I truly hope this corrects itself in time, but it is far far too late for me. If I achieve moderate financial success I'd most likely philanthropize in the form of a scholarship dedicated to exactly this gap, and/or lobby for change.

The Mars 2020 mission is taking core samples and caching them for a follow on sample return mission to pick up and send back to earth.

If systemd were a gstreamer plugin it would be in gstreamer-plugins-bad

There's an opensparc 1000 running proprietary firmware, much like the Intel Management Engine and company. There's a small effort to replace that in open software. If I had oodles of free time I might contribute, but I've got my own projects to fry.

Interesting juxtaposition with the article [1]

Sensitivity analysis is the next data science buzzword rewrite of classically important skills in model building.

For many researchers MCMC is described in very specific terms very differently in many places. This paper offers a single view of how to understand the idea and how you can use it to derive specializations for your field. Of course if you have no interest in mathematics, just move on. Nothing about being a good hacker means being abrupt and unwilling to dive deep in the necessary tools for a job. I for one am glad to see a paper like this and know I can start from here to build my own sampler for a complex system for which there is otherwise no software to efficiently sample. The hacker spirit is curious and open minded, but moves fast. If it's not a tool for you that doesn't mean it can't help thousands of others gain real insight into a difficult subject.

Here is the github, where the first paragraph of the README.md had everything I ever cared to know without the blog:

https://github.com/lightninglabs/neutrino

> Neutrino is an experimental Bitcoin light client written in Go and designed with mobile Lightning Network clients in mind. It uses a new proposal for compact block filters to minimize bandwidth and storage use on the client side, while attempting to preserve privacy and minimize processor load on full nodes serving light clients.

That is some "think of the children" legislation away from a rubber stamp subpoena system. Oh well, I don't assume privacy outside my bedroom anyway. Maybe not even in it soon enough.

This might work but then what is Neo's power?

That's correct, while taking away the entropy inequality as well. The thing is that very inequality is one of these laws of thermodynamics we so love, so I kind of see this as hot air.

To me the fact that the data was hacked represents no real change, as I've viewed the organizations that had access to this information just as adversarial as the crooks who stole it. At least now anybody can pay the price to see, and that means there is no corporate monopoly on the data about us. It's time to face the world of open data and structure ourselves so that it is to our advantage.

The pinebook (aarch64 machine) has an opensparc1000 in exactly the same capacity as the intel ME. The firmware blob is out and people have poked at it, but the functionality has yet to be reproduced in open software.

^C as copy is an example of breaking well established patterns that screw new users. Its THE canonical example in fact.

And hence the coding quality separation of gstreamer plugins. There is a reason the plugin ended up in gstreamer-plugins-bad, and most of them it is due to code quality or lack of maintainers or both.

1) How about read the script. 2) How about read the subject 3) How about understanding it.

This is a new result published yesterday, with no revisions. A direct link is extremely preferable to those of us who are interested in actually reading the paper. If you are doing homework, you can search the paper title.

instead of letting the browser grab the dns abstractly all the way down through the os, use your ISP's standard DNS for the exact address in the address bar and/or a white list, and their DNS for implicit requests. Still leaks a picture of you, but a far muddier one.

Software defined radio such as hackrf can use this.

All I can think of is my Wife's photography collection. She has terabytes of photos. Imagine the day "iPhoto" works like this (which is probably not too far off).

We have her do a manual backup periodically, but now I am going to automate that and make it robust. I am honestly afraid for the future of that data. This is just another part of why I am glad all of my own important data is on Linux machines that I have relatively strong control over, and backup automatically.

What a time to be alive! I can't wait until they can edit your memories out of your brain and store them on the cloud, you know for more capacity and safer recall.

RTFM? Release versions are on pip. Unfortunately most distros think they have the one holy package management solution. pip IS a release and distribution system. With the current popularity of Python, it is only going to be a matter of time before apt / rpm / etc support working through it.

And with this I am thoroughly convinced Hacker News is Slashdot with significantly fewer of the troll comments. This is obviously pure marketing. Congrats to Apple, I am sure this does in fact win them both sales and talent.

Actually absolute time SINCE an epoch (event and frame of reference) is meaningful. You can convert between times in different epochs. E.G. if we consider the epoch of a particular event on mars (Curiosity snapped a photo) we could convert that from the IAU_MARS frame of reference into the J2000 reference frame and find the seconds since a significant event, e.g. the TDB reference when the prime meridian first pointed directly at the solar system barycenter in the year 2000.

So those time conversions need to be augmented to understand reference frames in the special case, or continuous reference transitions in the general case. I am sure it will be a gnu extension by 2020.

You can make the further out zooms look better (not salt and pepper like) by using a sinc filter with a 5 or more lobes when to generate those layers. It looks like there is just some simple nearest neighbor or bilinear filtering happening, which is the source of the saltiness.
