Could it be "command line flag"?

My Seattle Mazda was hit by this bug. The backup camera still functions for the most part, although it does flicker and occasionally blank for a second or two (presumably while the system reboots). Annoying, but not horrible.

It looks like -> on a line of its own means "everything before this implies everything after it". So, for your second example you want

  x,Hx->Mx
  ->
  Hs->Ms

Or sit in a dark room, unable to see anything. There is more to it. See, e.g., https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission_theory_(vision)

X-ray lenses don't really exist, although you can produce focused beams (using either reflection or simply collimation). So, these methods typically involve scanning a sample and measuring some fluorescence line (which gets emitted in roughly all directions).

That site doesn't mention the spot size, but its likely much larger than the page thickness, so the iron signal from a tilted page probably wouldn't differ in a measurable way from having the page perpendicular to the beam. Keep in mind that they require ~24 hours to get even the images shown. Instead it sounds like they rely on compositional differences in the ink from the two sides and look at fluorescence from an element that is only present on one side.

It might be possible to get the other side by taking a difference between the Fe and Ca signals (after scaling appropriately).

Yes. The V in HSV is a greyscale value.

In the nexus presentation, they mentioned that a few symbol keys were moved up to soft keys to fit the keyboard while keeping a laptop-like distance between keys. So, it might not be super convenient, but you can likely still type your passwords.

If you treat the indices as between elements and include all elements that are between the start and end elements, there is only one reasonable choice. It would be more "special" to include elements that are outside of the specified range (i.e., the element to the right of the final index).

I parsed his comment as "a request that results in 20 nested RPCs completes in a few ms".

I was gonna say, who calls reversing a tree's ordering inverting?

This is especially true if you have multimodal distributions (such as the income datasets in the article). Although its true that there are simple algebraic properties that allow you to calculate the mean and variance of the total population given the same for sub-populations, it often isn't the case that this will be a good fit to the data. That being said, this is a useful property for parallelizing gaussian fits.

I don't think that will actually change anything. Two positively slowing lines (of any slope) have, by definition correlation = 1.0. The "random data" he used is just a small amount of noise on top of the line(s).

Here, "good" is on the left and "bad" is on the right. The color is orthogonal (it gives the number of operations with latencies in a given bucket). For example, a red square on the right side of the output would have definitely been "bad".

For apps that have been popular for a long time, I wonder if there is a negative bias in reviews (beyond that already present in all online reviews). A customer who gets an update that breaks an app they use every day is very likely to submit a negative review (even if they have reviewed positively in the past). However, a customer that gets and update that make incremental changes that largely don't affect them has no incentive to go post a positive review of the new version. So, the positive reviews come only from new customers, which are relatively small for apps that have reached saturation.

I agree with you on the need for good dedicated test engineers, but even an apparently low crash rate can be damaging at scale. If you have 10,000,000 customers, a crash rate of 0.17% (over some unspecified time period) is 17,000 crashes (in the same time period). On the other hand, if the crash is deterministic, but caused by some user-specific state that affects 0.17% of your customers, that's 17,000 unhappy customers who are drastically more likely to post reviews than the potentially millions of happy customers not experiencing crashes (and perhaps reviewed the app positively years ago).

Note: I don't use Facebook's app often, and have no context for what the actual issues are.

I agree with your first two paragraphs. But, be careful about the last. The pilot wave in Bohmian mechanics is not a wave in space time, but rather a separate physical entity. Basically the dynamics of both the particle and its pilot wave are described by different portions of the wavefunction. (The wavefunction is complex, and so has enough variables to describe two physical quantities).

That was a fun one. I seem to recall it taking a day or so to generate a suitably colliding prefix pair using publicly available code. After that the rest was pretty easy.

I'm that someone, and it was written in a weekend on a jail broken iPod touch on iOS 3.2. So, its unlikely that it still works (and I wouldn't recommend using it even if you can get it to work). I long since switched (back) to lastpass due to the pain of managing ssh keys across multiple devices.

This scheme is only broken if all entities fail to keep their keys secure. In the event of a key compromise, updated keys could be pushed out and used to reencrypt. Of course that presents another weakness. (Who signs the update? What if their key is compromised).

Friendly pedantic clarification: you get better location accuracy when WiFi is on by combining access point location databases with the GPS signal.

"In the filing, JPMorgan said there was no evidence that account information, including passwords or Social Security numbers, were taken."

I wonder what was actually "compromised" about the 76 million accounts if not account information.

You can configure your instances to automatically shutdown and restart instead of migrating: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances#onhostmainte...

Alternatively, you have a short period (60s) before the migration occurs during which you can lame a service: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/metadata#maintenanceev...

However, I'll grant that both of these lack the "in your own convenient time" portion of your desire.

Not if the data has to be read from the slow disks to get it onto the fast ones.

Although having the data already on an SSD would surely be faster, I don't see how it would be faster to copy from HDD to SSD and then process as opposed to just processing from the HDD.

From the article it sounds like Chrome is replacing the URL (which is difficult for humans to parse) with an "origin chip" that contains just the domain name. This improves on the use case you point out.

Why was this downvoted? The discussion in these articles has all seemed to ignore the fact that engineers were explicitly excluded from the agreements.

No this does not work. Group MMS from iohones are still dropped (as the article clearly describes).
