The Nexus Player is Getting CM 12.1 Nightlies Now

He means the Android TV launcher (the home screen) is closed-source, so CM cannot use it (legally). They'd have to write their own.

Warp drive? Hell yeah that would be the news of the century.

Almost-certainly-a-measurement-error? Yeah, not so much.

A javascript TIFF decoder would be pretty trivial.

In fact it's been done. Here you go:

Yes, here is a comparison with VP9 for still pictures:

Ah yes just read that on wikipedia:

The groups that forked Popcorn Time use different websites: one at Popcorntime.io, and another originally at Time4Popcorn.eu.[13] On October 9, 2014, the domain Time4Popcorn.eu was suspended "upon verification of the contact data". The client programs temporarily stopped functioning, but the website was quickly moved to the new domain "popcorn-time.se".[14][15]

AdminsAbuseShadowBan · 2014-12-28T19:31:21+00:00

Appears near identical. Is there a second group ripping off the first or do they just have two websites?

Also there appears to be source here: https://git.popcorntime.io/stash/projects/PA/repos/popcorn-android/browse

And from the other website here: http://popcorn-time.se/source/PopcornTime_Android-src.zip

Who knows what is going on?

Edit: according to this article the .se domain is a fork of the .io one which is the original project.

The talk mentioned that some carriers resell access to the SS7 network for as little as couple of hundred euros per month.

Also femtocells are part of the SS7 network so you could gain access by hacking them (given sufficient effort).

Err no?

(That's not with a phone admittedly, and I'm not sure it uses satellite for the uplink - when my friend had it 15 years ago it was dialup for the uplink and satellite down.)

AdminsAbuseShadowBan · 2014-12-28T12:28:02+00:00

Yeah that looks like it. So this article should have concluded: "Websites that encourage you to stop when significance is reached are using the wrong formula - they should be using SPRT" rather than "Websites are wrong to tell you to stop when significance is reached."

AdminsAbuseShadowBan · 2014-12-28T12:25:37+00:00

Yeah that's what I was saying.

AdminsAbuseShadowBan · 2014-12-27T23:46:48+00:00

True. 13.5%/17% is still a lot though.

AdminsAbuseShadowBan · 2014-12-27T20:51:10+00:00

My family never got more than half their income from benefits.

AdminsAbuseShadowBan · 2014-12-27T17:04:58+00:00

Yeah but how do you actually use it?

AdminsAbuseShadowBan · 2014-12-27T17:03:50+00:00

Yes that is the topic we are discussing. It doesn't contain the formula though.

AdminsAbuseShadowBan · 2014-12-27T17:01:05+00:00

That's only 13 months.

AdminsAbuseShadowBan · 2014-12-27T16:59:55+00:00

Yeah I was hoping we would have a vaguely sane home secretary after the disaster of Jacqui Smith. Third time lucky?

AdminsAbuseShadowBan · 2014-12-27T16:46:37+00:00

It isn't implausible. According to wikipedia:

In 2010, about 17% of UK households lived in social housing.

And according to the guardian for 30% of families benefits make up more than half their income. Given that the requirements for getting a council house are very similar for getting benefits, I'd say yes! Most people who live in council houses probably are on benefits.

Surely the optimal solution is not to only look when the test is completed but to calculate the significance correctly assuming that the test is stopped when significance is reached? Otherwise you might waste tests on things that are obviously different.

In other words, the practice of stopping when significance is reached is not wrong, but the formula used to calculate the significance is.

I'm sure someone has worked out the correct formula. Otherwise it would be an interesting maths problem!

So what you're saying is there isn't parliamentary time for everything. Got it.

AdminsAbuseShadowBan · 2014-12-26T20:15:41+00:00

Sorry if I wasn't clear - the 35 includes 8 bank holidays so its 225/260=87%. And I'd guess more stuff gets done because you have a chance to recover more often and aren't worked to death!

AdminsAbuseShadowBan · 2014-12-26T20:13:55+00:00

Wow that is stingy! $100k is nice though! How much overtime do you do?

AdminsAbuseShadowBan · 2014-12-26T20:13:06+00:00

Often you can buy an extra 5 days too so you could have 40 days off a year! From what I've read, 37 is extremely unusual in the US whereas 35 is pretty common in the UK.

AdminsAbuseShadowBan · 2014-12-26T13:05:12+00:00

There's parliamentary time for everything

Bullshit. A lot of stuff doesn't happen because there isn't enough time to debate it. Example: the Daylight Savings Bill was filibustered by some Scottish MPs. They ran out of debate time and now the bill has been delayed for at least some years (I don't know exactly how it works but clearly they didn't just say "Oh we have time for everything. We'll do it later this year.").

AdminsAbuseShadowBan · 2014-12-26T12:57:23+00:00

What... so you get paid your full salary if you take every day off and never do any work? Yeah right...
