These methods work by turning the shopper into a cashier. Amazon go completely removes the cashier role from the experience, the shopper just picks up the item as they did before and walks out.

Using vision to solve a problem always seems inefficient but it scales out way better than anything else (ie the various ways google maps uses vision when in a world with perfect map data it wouldn’t be needed).
Sorry to hear that! It's not very fun.
It's an extract from a book, I suppose the question is not the end of an article but the beginning of a chapter.
Does the presence of this post indicate that VRML is going to be relevant for ...anything... ever again?

I have an old t-shirt around somewhere from a VRML event in the mid-90's (back when I was tinkering on making dumb little scenes a cracked AutoCAD)... yay, it's relevant again :)

Personally, I've felt for a long time that as video cards and GPUs have made rendering a buzzillion polygons per second tenable, operating system developers should rethink their attachment to the two dimensional desktop metaphor that's been the interface for over three decades now. Whenever I suggest this, people tend to knee-jerk on how silly the Jurassic Park scene is with the SGI filesystem navigator (ya, the "It's unix! I know this" scene). Yep, that was the extent of our imagination working within the constraints thirty years ago but I do believe we can and should do better. But I have little confidence in the capacity of Meta or Microsoft to drive that kind of innovation, the creativity and incentives within those organizations will thwart any breakthroughs.
if I recall correctly ARM instructions are fixed length. You can start deciding instructions on parallel at the same time (ie right after you fetch). X86 uses variable length instructions. Decoding the next instruction requires the previous one to be decoded (think decompression vs reading fixed records).

Hopefully I got that right. Now in theory Intel and AMD do employ tricks to optimize x86 decode. If I recall this correctly, they decide opportunistically several possible paths simultaneously and start speculatively executing the ones that turn out to be valid instructions. Likely this works pretty well (+ the variable length means better utilization of the code cache).
It's always interesting when American media plays food poisoning as "just one of those relatable things". It's really quite rare in Europe: you might expect perhaps a bad case only a small handful of times in your life, unless you regularly eat raw shellfish or something.

The reporting rates seem to agree: roughly 1 case per 30 people per year in the UK (recently doubled due to be research, actually). Meanwhile the US comes in with 1 in 6. Obviously the reporting methodologies will be different, so those figures are not directly comparable, but the media attitude seems a little indicative.
This is a nice and idealistic idea. But If you actually try mailing your member of Congress, you will find that for the majority of time by far, there will be no response whatsoever. If you do get a response, it will be a canned boilerplate letter that most likely will not address the issue you raised.
I don't really buy this kind of thing, not these days, sure there will be some percentage of people who are new to computers but in general I don't think so.

Pretty much every program on windows/osx you ever interact with has an options display accessible from the top menus and pretty much all of them have the ability to change the homepage.

Now I would agree that a popup like this give people motivation to change, perhaps that haven't considered it before, but I doubt many that have been using computers for some time would have trouble changing there homepage if motivated to do so.

It smells like a bubble, but this time around, there are fewer IPOs and the big buys are acquiring for talent too. With the advent of facebook v google talent grabbing, it makes sense to buy startups with crazy smart people early.

This article also needs to take in account of the super angels and the new face of investing these days. Sure, a lot of deals are happening, but a lot of the early funding is coming from many sources and the angels are spreading thin. Come on, NYTimes, did you forget Angelgate?
I think it's more they feel the need to constantly be searching and suggesting what the next big thing could be rather than evaluating things on their merits.
I use Lyft all the time, multiple times a week. This is ridiculous. How in the hell are their drivers supposed to make money?
Whoever wants to be in the business owns the cars, like every other rental/service offering. Whatever the liability challenges, they are likely less than current cars-with-drivers, after removing human error, emotions, and criminality.

You aren't likely to want to own your own self-driving car in a major city, unless you're an eccentric rich person, or a car hobbyist, or a old fogie. Urban garage/parking space is expensive for an asset that's idle 22+ hours of every day, and fueling/maintenance/looking-for-parking are likely not the best marginal use of your time.

What's your dislike of "something used by tens of thousands of unknown people", as long as it's well-maintained? Do you avoid libraries, sidewalks, parks, airports, shops, and restaurants?

Right now, Uber and other transport-network-providers are becoming "people I know and trust", because their systems have consistently delivered quick, clean, reasonably-priced rides across many times/places. App-dispatching a suitable-quality autocar from the nearest competitive local provider is going to save a lot of time/energy/pollution, compared to coordinating loaners from friends/family.

If transport regulators like city councils and taxi commissions were better at this sort of thing, they'd have bootstrapped a similarly rapid and ubiquitous ride-service years earlier, using their unique governmental coordination powers. Instead, they let a patchwork of inferior alternatives fester for decades.

I'm not sure of the eventual market structure of autocar-dominated city streets. Automation and standardization might make room for many providers, or just a few. Regulators could easily screw things up, by locking in specific practices or incumbent providers based on early guesses, biases, and corruption.

We'll just have to let lots of things be tried and see what works. For rapidly exploring the possibility space, the vigorous investor-fueled competition we're seeing now is very helpful.
The Lemote Yeelong is very slow, comparable to the 1.6GHz atom netbooks of 2008. You'd be better off with a thinkpad x60 with libreboot installed.
It seems to me that the scariest part of doing interstellar finance is the concern that the institutions that, say, enforce bonds (or otherwise give them meaning, I'm not sure of the mechanics) will disappear sometime during your round trip. A lot can happen in 50 years, much more in a 500 year interstellar round trip. I would expect interstellar trade to stick with "real" goods only for this reason.
Now that I read some more responses maybe the under 21 rules do come into play but maybe a senator can help with that? Getting this question answered from another lawyer would help too.

Sometimes, time will have to tell but remember you can succeed on your own just fine and remember to define yourself by your own work rather than the law - just be cautious of the law and live with your purpose that you have lived with. You truly are amazing mate.
This behavior is unconscionable when there is such an obviously trivial technical solution to this problem.

Here is my quick and dirty technical solution.

(1) Place a restriction: only allow users who have uploaded a given file to download that file. In essence, keep an "uploaded" flag for each file/user.

(2) Challenge-response to validate local copy of a globally-known file: To continue receiving the benefits of de-dup, don't actually upload an already globally-known file, but perform a challenge-response with the client on the contents of the actual file. This will still leverage most of the benefits of de-dup w.r.t bandwidth savings.
You don't need to prove it to me because I don't particularly care and it doesn't actually matter, so let's just say I believe you.

This is a tempest in a teapot just like those mass "Quit Facebook" protests that spring up every time the privacy settings change. The entire controversy exists because a tiny, yet incredibly vocal, minority makes a huge deal of it only to drop it the next week. And from reading write ups on freemium services, the vocal minority is also part of the non-paying majority.

Dropbox has a technically exploitable feature which they don't want passed around for file sharing purposes so they stopped their own servers from helping. Big whoop.
I can understand dropbox not allowing you to publicly share files on a case by case basis, or else I could simply put illegal content in my public folder and send out the link.

I understand it a little less if you are say sharing folders between friends.

And I wouldn't like it at all if they deleted something from my dropbox, but it seems we aren't there yet.
I think the problem lies in the "until you run into patent trolls" part. They wouldn't exist without their bad patents, after all, which come from the PTO.
I would be more curious to know the number of successful bootstrapped businesses vs. VC-funded ones...
Microsoft has no problem giving developers what they want, they just want to do it on their own terms (i.e. their own standards). WebGL is based on OpenGL ES, you know, that standard that's supported by every freakin' recent smartphone OS or games console, other than Windows Phone 7 or the XBox (e.g. Android, iOS, Symbian, Maemo, webOS, Nintendo 3DS, Blackberry, Playstation 3).

The picture can't get any clearer than this -- meet the new Microsoft, same as the old one.
I'd recommend against using OpenID; see http://productblog.37signals.com/products/2011/01/well-be-re... for a well-written explanation of why. However, in the meantime, if you continue to use OpenID, please allow user-specified OpenID URLs, not just a fixed list of providers.

I am convinced that California is hell on earth. It's designed to maximize human suffering and when you tell Californians how to get rid of the heat they tell you that they like it this way and actually would like it even more if it was hotter.

I posted this on the OP comment, but what about using an accelerometer?
Neat idea. How did you manage to support over 100 languages? Are you collecting your own voice data for all languages or relying on the third party?
> while those who are against it (which are a few scared souls cowering in a corner)

Way to win over your audience.
Semi off-topic, but how is working in the firmware/drivers/systems space? Everyone always talks about how hard it is, so that makes me think that companies would be paying a premium for good systems devs. On the other hand there aren't as many companies who have that need. I enjoyed the low level work I did in college and have been thinking about getting back into it, but there are no jobs involving it near me (moving to Seattle in a bit so this should change)
You're essentially saying "don't use data to inform your decisions." This is trolling at best. No idea how this is the top comment here.

I only watched one game, but it seems that:

1) Yes, most games will end in stalemate.
2) Most wins would occur when one side has enough passed paws such that they chance upon promoting to a few queens.

3) The random-promotion significantly lowers the chances for checkmate. Promotion to a queen is so common that many players who play online chess set paws to automatically promote to queens, so they don't waste the 2 or so seconds it takes to click the "Queen" button.
I think the same article was on hacker school website also?

My understanding is that every bitcoin contains the entire block chain which contains a record of every transaction made in the network.

A transaction is basically three pieces of data: private key signature of the sender/payer, public key of the receiver/payee, amount of bitcoins.

The blockchain is very difficult to counterfeit, so theoretically a site like MyBitcoin.com can't actually 'control' your wallet or transfer all the bitcoins to themselves, at least without all the private keys of their depositors.
The original jokes (by Soviet emigre to the US, comedian Yakov Smirnoff) were clever (e.g. "In America, you can always find a party. In Soviet Russia, Party always finds you!"). But many copies of these jokes just do the word reversal without the wordplay.

AWS dropped WikiLeaks as a customer back in 2010 for political reasons, and apparently this was announced by a US senator even before AWS did so themselves:

Some google work indicates the "comfort food" meme of people are comforted by extremely high carb mostly starchy foods was invented in 1977. Its been a popular meme and has already settled into eternal common knowledge despite being less than 40 years old.

None the less the concept is going to seem weird to people roughly older than the meme and self evident to everyone younger.
Yes, that's the strangest, most inconsistent model anyone could come up with.
I love how it's equal parts code and animated gifs.

Quite different from the initial reception at LKML. And says a lot about what it made possible, even if indirectly.
You're suggesting that X is required for healthy living and that you get X from kale.

Surely the important thing is if you get X from Soylent? Which you completely ignore.
BTW, Asio can be used without needing boost. In fact, the non-boost version is the actual maintained version. A script is applied to boostify it. It would be nice if Asio could be added to biicode.
Not helpful at all for learning, but I've found RegExper[1] is fantastic for visualizing existing expressions, particularly ones you haven't written but need to understand or edit.

Ahh but that is not the value that is sent to the webserver, that is just your web browser prettying up the display. If we open the inspector and see what was sent we have:

Your browser will equally pretty up the json in the url for display purposes.

Well the RSUs required one of two things: laying down a whole lot of money to purchase them up front or accepting the loan and promissory note from the company. I'm the only one that went 50/50. I had thought i was being clever and getting the options first (highest risk in first 2 years) and the RSUs second, but it turns out that even though i had a vesting schedule like that it was valid because the board would have had to vote on something like that. It's almost moot at this point though.
That's not a feature, that's a limitation that forces you to change your behaviour. It's forcing user engagement. And when I see a Meerkat feed I missed I'm just annoyed (especially as I expect it to be live when I tap the tweet) - I'm much happier being able to see a replay on periscope.
I have that book and it is a fantastic reference, but it is not great at instructing. There are no comprehensive examples so it is hard to see how all the parts fit together as in best practices.
There are a few differences. Here's a fairly theoretical article about the details:

http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=2747873

Skip down to: "While async functions may remind us of the async/await feature in C#, note that there are differences."

The first author is Erik Meijer who worked on C# (among other things) at Microsoft.
This is a case where money and happiness aren't really correlated. Remember, people get addicted to variable reward schedules, and get bored of fixed reward schedules. Want someone to be more excited to go to work? Flip a coin to determine whether they get paid each day!
git has been out how long now? How many people bitch about its bad user interface? And yet nobody as stepped up to write something better?

Perhaps this is pointing to the fact that there is something fundamental about git that prevents such a thing from happening?

It seems more likely to me that they will use this technology to create smaller devices with batteries that last the same length.
The solution doesn't seem to work on its face. If the spy simply gives the guard Y, the scheme is the same as having a bunch of fixed passwords. If the spy gives the guard X, X becomes public to the enemy. Some machine that lets the spy input X (with the input hidden to the guard) and displays Y to the guard would work, assuming the guard doesn't snoop around to discover X.
I don't think that's the case, I would guess "Droids" outsold "Nexus", being the former more "open". But it will be nice to see some numbers.
Very true. Government figures don't include the cost of vacations that parents take before the baby is born (I had to google just to figure out WTF a "babymoon" is). They also leave out the cost of booze to lower the mother-to-be's inhibitions and the cost of the backseat of the car where conception occurred!

Alex, do you have any idea how the bottom 95% live?
Honestly, what I want is a lot more than a million dollars. Any one thing may not cost a million dollars (although there are a lot of things I didn't list that I'd like, like a private piloted jet, in-home maid staff, private chefs, production and guest appearances from folks like Jay-Z for a record I'd like to produce, etc...).

I've learned to settle to do things I generally "mostly" like. Like, while I like to do software development, I've decided to not start another startup. While I made decent money, most of my time wasn't spent writing code. And honestly, most of the type of code I like to write isn't like Facebook. It's stuff that I get personal enjoyment out of -- deploying to millions of people is mostly of interest to investors.

I don't even think about the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport, not because I don't want one, but I've learned to set my expectations lower than what I absolutely want.

I think most people do the same, although some delude themselves that all they really want is a Honda Civic.

Like it or not, casual games are becoming a much, much bigger market than "hardcore" games.

Bejeweled is one of the most profitable game franchises right now. If I were writing that game from scratch today, I would do it in Flash or HTML5. That gets you every desktop that matters, and the number of mobile devices that support those technologies is still growing.
Windows still runs software from the 1980s and 1990s without much complaint. DOS software, Windows 3.1 software...

You don't even need to load the books into calibre's database to view it. You can invoke 'ebook-viewer' from the command line directly with the epub file's path as the argument.
True, that is an assumption, but it may often be true.

Similarly, deadlier variants can evolve that are resistant to an engineered vaccine.

One can argue the defining features of a particular virus, and whether an evolved version is a variant or a novel virus. An antibody may detect features that are defining or others.
I’m glad you liked the article. Obviously the 10 second or so of precompilation time is a big issue for you. I guess I have no further suggestions about that other than to suggest again to look at creating sysimages (learning how to do this is on my to-do list).
I'm in a very similar situation - I've ran a one-person, B2B SaaS for 20 years, and not once has anyone asked how many employees we are. I sell a lot in the EU defence sector, and even there is has never come up. Sometimes customers ask about product end-of-life policies, but they are always satisfied with my responses.
The BLM protests did at times turn to riots. I don't say that to dehumanize anyone but there was violence and destruction. Mainly because the cause was highjacked by groups that love to break out into violence, such as Antifa.

If we can't call out such groups and recognize the damage they do, what happens to the next protest?
Sorry, I forgot to check replies! This is the CSS:

numpy's npz is also zip.
Sometimes the official docs are just right. Django is good, for example. I had to do small Ubuntu sysadmin task recently, the tutorials I found were incomprehensible. The official docs were crystal clear.

But we've all seen the reverse, as well, and a combination of SO, YouTube, Reddit, and random tutorials is the only way to figure it out. Especially when you encounter the "This describes version 3.1, and everything in 4.5 is completely different, good luck" official docs.
This issue is now fixed. At last I have a search that works on my Tumblr blog: http://www.benpowell.co.uk.

Now I'm waiting to see how much this is going to cost me after you guys come out of beta! Again awesome.

Russia says they are going to require certain russia-specific apps preloaded on all phones sold in Russia. In wonder what Apple will do. Lack of bundled crapware was one of the selling points for the original iPhone.
I'm interested in working with you and your ideas

There's nothing robust enough for me to show you, even though I've been working on a special project for the last 3 years, and multiple other projects I wasn't able to launch due to not having enough funds. I have experience with both front-end and back-end web development, with a particular focus on design and product development. I don't have school, which gives me more than enough time to spend on learning, experimenting and building for projects. I'm a minor, and probably not living in the same country as you, making it harder for me to deal with business matters when needed. I'm not able to properly participate in voice and video conferencing due to my lack of the necessary equipment.
