Google can probably provide this kind of map with much higher resolution thanks to android. I'd love to see a zoomable world map with stats of what language people set on their devices. Even info about how many percent is set to Englis

I would guess that at the lowest level too much is dictated by physics. It may be possible to obfuscate some higher abstraction layers though.

Incentives say she will pass the lie detecting test. It would be a PR disaster if she said she didn't use it and the sponsor wouldn't want to pay. It just gets more promotion than paying out $100K directly.

It's just there for a reference, maybe a better one would be Kurzweil's ultimate laptop (made from the whole universe). But the interesting part is that I don't think the ultimate laptop takes into account interactions and st

I think it aged insanely well. DBs are often a bottleneck and need to be heavily optimized so you need to spend some time explaining to your database what it is that you really need, but in general, SQL is all about telling what do you want

I second that and hope somebody from remarkable reads it. They could make this device great from being meh with a software update. I want to make notes on remarkable and easily edit them on android. Export SVGs not just low quality jpegs. M

But on each picture you automatically recognize when there is some face. And you need to be able to learn new faces. So doesn't it make necessary for somewhere in the system to be your face model in order for system to decide to ignore

Latency matters. You can execute instructions much faster from firmware on the SSD and higher abstraction level instruction usually translates to many low level instructions.

Everything you write here will be saved whether it is stored or HN servers or not. That's just the reality. Some rulings may stop wayback machine but then there still will be tons of archivers accessible through dark web. Text is reall

Same can be said about the strong force and electromagnetic interaction. So why gravity would be the one that's weird in the context of the second law?

So you're a scientist. And you think you need more understanding of algorithms/data structures and what's actually happening underneath the code that you are writing, right? It does help. But from my experience from hiring co

Don't you think you've learned a lot of things that way which you wouldn't learn otherwise? I try to use technologies I want to learn/master in those projects and I don't know any better way to learn them. The proje

I do recommend reading about it or watching, but what I was aiming at, is that if Reis would have succeeded, it wouldn't really be much different from the system that we have in the US today and how it got created. It was done with per

When you formulate a thought or a sentence you compress vast amounts of data into something that's understandable in more general context. Once you've done that compression, you interpret that generalization once again as you voca

I very much doubt you could discover anything with X-rays. You can place whole device inside a screw or the circuit can be very thin with little to no metal etc. I would assume it's becoming a a software war. You monitor all frequencie
