  1. Re:The risk of open source. on Compromised JavaScript Package Caught Stealing npm Credentials (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Closed source software has been stealing credentials and data for years. It took a day to catch the open source one. Your phone is riddled with data stealing software right now.

    Step 1) Buy a camera
    Step 2) Take a photo
    Step 3) Go to https://cmusatyalab.github.io/... and install the software
    Step 4) Profit

    What do you mean by "store"? If I run your photo through my open source facial recognition software is that storing it?

  4. Much longer? on Has Video Refereeing Ruined The World Cup? (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    How "much longer" does VAR make games? Maybe zero more minutes? VAR is hardly ever used in a game. If it is, it only takes 5 minutes to review something. How much time does Neymar's fake rolling around in the ground waste? How much time is wasted over guys arguing with the on field referree? How much time is wasted waiting for players to walk slowly off the field in order to waste time because they are ahead?

  5. T-Mobile on Sprint Follows Rivals By Complicating Its Unlimited Mobile Data Plans (fortune.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    T-Mobile ONE is the best plan in the US currently. Bar none. Unlimited everything and $60 a month and includes Netflix.

    Don't worry. Most apps are free on the App Store now. Isn't that what you mean?

  8. Thats pretty funny because T-Mobile is unlimited everything in the US.

    The only languages worth learning at this point is C/C++ (system programming) and Python (interpreted).

    Good thinking. You will be my other vice-dictator in charge of the Code of Conduct for the language.

    I've taken over Python from Guido. My first edict will be to require that only tabs be used for whitespace. This will save valuable disk space. No complaints allowed. I am also assigning APK as my vice-dictator.

  13. Hopefully it will have AI and Blockchain features.

    All you need is a bigger company who will spend $10 billion to acquire it from the VC.

  15. Re: Pretty interesting on A Look at Street Network Orientation in Major US Cities (geoffboeing.com) · · Score: 1

    No, if you look at Bostons street structure you would see why it was built like it was. Hint: the big blue blob in the middle of the city.

  16. Re: Pretty interesting on A Look at Street Network Orientation in Major US Cities (geoffboeing.com) · · Score: 1

    The same as what? Bostons first streets followed the shorelines and built from there. It likely would show up looking like Baltimore in his graphs. As you go away from the city it gets less structured.

  17. Re:Most US cities are designed on A Look at Street Network Orientation in Major US Cities (geoffboeing.com) · · Score: 1

    Charlotte looks like any American city that has unconstrained suburban sprawl. It started out as a grid, and now is just a suburban mess.

  18. Re:Can anyone explain Charlotte on A Look at Street Network Orientation in Major US Cities (geoffboeing.com) · · Score: 2

    Downtown Charlotte has a regular grid pattern. What you call Charlotte today includes the suburban sprawl, and those are built around housing developments and roads are built to connect the suburban developments to the city center. Developers don't care about how the roads are constructed, as long as there is a connection to the development. Poor city planning, but that is typical in the Carolinas.

  19. That is really strange. I wonder if Tacoma is near water or something which changes the alignment in different parts of the city.

  20. Pretty interesting on A Look at Street Network Orientation in Major US Cities (geoffboeing.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It is almost like the cities that have a body of water have street orientation that follows the shoreline. Like maybe the shoreline was important and stuff to the city and the city grew from the ports along the shoreline. Interesting stuff.

    From what I saw the rock had passed the hand already, so the rock shouldn't have been broken at all. That is kind of lame, but it looks to me like the "hitbox" was too big for the rock. I am not expecting much beyond the Hololens though, because there is no magic here - just programming.

    Actually to me those short demos were impressive. They demonstrate the AR interacting with the physical world (walls, hands, etc). I never saw the original marketing demos like the "whale" or "elephant" or anything though.

    "deep learning" is BS. What they are calling "deep learning" cores are just compute cores with large programmable caches. Hardly innovative.
