Well then, there's one of the problems.

Again: not everyone carries a phone.

"An one" in my earlier reply should have been "And one"
Intelligence-driven cars will likely fly "under the radar" for a half-decade or so while regulators catch up. Once they do, the industry will be more than ready to accelerate traffic 100% to 300% and ultimately flip the regulatory pressure from machine to human. Humans will need to prove their ability to drive at something like 500 kph.
Agree with him totally. Really like him a lot from #perl, he's an incredible human being.
In part. It makes conditional, nested queries much simpler, however, when you don't need to nest async callbacks 20 layers deep.

I understand that having a synchronous API would mean more people would use it. But honestly, I see that as their problem. A fair number of queries, such as "select * from your_table where id = ?", are useful to have synchronous as an option, and should perform quickly enough to be invisible. And synchronous can easily be made asynchronous, but the other way around is essentially impossible without any Thread.join.
N.B. this has not yet gone to a full trial, this is a preliminary judgement.
10 hours per day is too much. How about 5 hours for 6 days instead? Yea, that doesn't add up to 40, but why should it?
Private members are generally just to protect your from yourself. If you have an integer that should /always/ be 1-10, it's easier to use a private variable and a setter that ensures the variable is always valid, than to hope all your code follows the rules. (Then also if the rule changes, e.g. to 5-100, you just need to change one function).

There are some other uses and examples, but this is the simplest one i can think of off the top of my head.
Reminds me of: http://somerandomdude.com/projects/iconic/, a set of icons done in @fontface.
Valid point, but still: I there are things you love, do more of them. Incorporate them into every day. Do not create a mystical double life that is divided into work and pleasure. Try to make room for one in the other.
Depends on the compromise, but generally speaking the observable difference in behavior (assuming you are unable to monitor upstream of the router) is very minor. Greater power drain, and evidence of compromised information being used that could only have been gained from that source.
As excellent has Hubble has been, the JWST is going to put it to shame. The potential risk, however is that it won't be serviceable, as Hubble famously needed to be very early in its life. If all goes as planned, we're all going to have some really nice new desktop wallpapers in a few years. And, I suppose, a better understanding of the universe will be a nice side benefit.
it is really unacceptable when your app can do without it - and that's Riot is trying to prove. It doesn't mean to hurt your feelings.
I don't have a hard time with most of these obstacles anymore. It seems that good quality rips of movies are pretty easy to find. However, I think torrent clients are just slightly beyond the scope of most people's technical expertise.
Especially more HBO..
Same here, I'd be totally cool with paying more for more content and more HD.
If you know exactly what to type.
How is running within a virtual machine an advantage? That was one of the most prominent reasons I decided to give it a pass when it first came out.
This is true for me personally. The Zune store, which is an all-you-can-eat music service has completely removed the need to download music from torrents/emule. I can just pay 10 bucks a month and enjoy all the content I want.

Netflix follows the same approach and is even more successful at it.

I second that. Here is an alternative to yourls.org.

For me it's the comfort factor. I stream Netflix through my Wii, so when I watch movies that way I get to sit on my couch and watch my big screen TV.

When I watch stuff on my computer I have to sit in my uncomfortable desk chair and view my small-ish monitor. Getting my whole computer hooked up to my TV seems like a hassle at the moment. On the other hand, Netflix is always ready to go and that usually wins.
There's really only one answer to that problem: full downloads.

I would tolerate a fair amount of DRM for that functionality. I have to compare it to Steam, where streaming a game isn't an option. Steam's convenience simply leaves no reason for complaint.
Are you on a mac? I have the same issue :( and only run Dropbox when I'm not engaged with my computer to let it do its thing.

Saying that, as a paying customer, I still love Dropbox since it's sync quality & ease is outstanding. I'm also a fan of their Datastore API.
Activision was formed by former Atari employees specifically because they didn't get the recognition they deserved.
As an ADHDer who has been working all remote for the last 6 months after changing jobs I found it has been an absolutely anxiety inducing nightmare for me as I'm expected to pair program all the time but I'm hopeless at co-ordinating work with my team mates and my mind can just never relax as a result. I'm putting in my notice soon and returning to an office.
M1 Mac Mini in my office has 2 external monitors, one connected with HDMI and another one with thunderbolt (usb c).
That is fine, if you can afford to be picky. I will not use BMC Remedy or HP Service Manager and would absolutely drop out of an application if I detected them. Life is too short to click a million more tiny 'form fill' buttons.
> Figure 2 shows this dramatic slowdown, where we have gone from doubling general-purpose CPU performance every 1.5 years (1985 through 2003) or 2 years (2003 to 2010) to now being in an era where general purpose CPU performance is expected to double only every 20 years [Hennessy and Patterson 2017].

This isn't true. CPU performance has stagnated very recently due to Intel's struggles with 10nm, but we look to be leaving that behind us. Even if we weren't, it's still not relevant for ML, since within the last decade GPUs have improved a factor of ~10—thus the terrifying Figure 2 is proven false.

You have missed as the original posting about china not care about universal x. China do. We do. Always. We have enforced our harmony way to our labour for several thousands years now. We would.

At least I quite the Open source founder has used the chinese way of colonialism to describe open source. Look at how the top leader talk in international forum on things like internet.

China will impose its view. And if you are not civilised per china view you are barbarian to be crushed. It is in our gene.

They will play nice then when not colonised you will be see.

Still I believe it does not make commerical senses. China does not allow others to make money unless they can’t replace you. Learning and turn ... The nasty part will come.

Our whole place is an example. And we are chinese according to them. Still ... hence good luck.

If only they weren't inane. I think Twitter is probably the worst in terms of 'promoted content' because it always seems to serve up the same ad several days in a row and it's always something surprisingly off-topic. I'd be browsing my feed full of political news, movie trailers, and animal photos... and get an ad for ketchup. How on Earth could I confuse that for a real tweet or something my friends would retweet? A ketchup ad? Mental.
It's kinda unrealistic to endow a Forth-like syntax with things like types and pre-determined stack effects. You end up with something not too different from the usual lambda syntax aside from postfix application, which in this context would simply be De Bruijn notation for lambda-like terms.
Square probably makes zilch on their hardware sales as it is, the real business is percentages on sales.
I think this is a good point. It's also worth noting that there are pretty much no careers where you can just get a normal job and end up "winning at money". Finance is a possible exception, but it comes with its own tradeoffs and the biggest players generally leave their finance jobs to start their own funds.
It's possible if the person lied on their resume about actually having 10+ years of experience.

I find python by far my favorite language to have used, but I basically agree with this. No language is perfect for every use, nor could there ever be such a language (until computing changes dramatically, anyway; quantum computing maybe?)

Until then, even a language one loves deeply - and I'm not sure I'm there yet with python, though i'm closer than with any other language I've used - will have flaws and times where it's not the best tool for the job.
I really, really wish docstoc would die in a fire.

Andrew Hickl, the C.E.O. of Language Computer Corporation, which makes question-answering systems, among other things, for businesses, was recently asked by a client to make a "contradiction engine": if you tell it a statement, it tries to find evidence on the Web that contradicts it. "It’s like, ‘I believe that Dallas is the most beautiful city in the United States,’ and I want to find all the evidence on the Web that contradicts that."

I think that's the most useful application suggested.
> Everyone has downtime.

http://reports.panopta.com/cloudharmony/

> Rackspace's downtime just makes more noise because lots of well-known sites are hosted there.

Not as many as there used to be.

I don't mean to be a jerk, but it's one thing when my site goes down because I did something dumb, and a whole 'nother thing when a site goes down, these days, because a data center is having a problem. I just don't understand why someone would assume that downtime was inevitable and not choose to minimize that risk as much as possible.
I guess they want some time to analyze the data first, however, they will eventually release it.

There is a comment on the more recent duplicate at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2000175
Exactly my thought when I read this. Starting a movie studio wouldn't necessarily be any more difficult than it was to build a nationwide distribution network. Seems to me Netflix could start financing the shows on cable and network TV, and then partner with Google and others to build out urban wi-fi networks, city by city to go after the cable providers. Netflix wouldn't even have to win this fight, but applying pressure across the entire value chain of content creation through content delivery would keep any one entity from putting Netflix in headlock.
>However, it is the first US bitcoin exchange with some amount of money transmitter licenses

Not true. There are definitely exchanges out there that have state MSB licenses. Perhaps you're unaware of their existence. I know companies can sometimes be secretive about this stuff, but exchanges like CoinX have MSB state licenses. Check out http://coinx.com/money-transmitter-licenses for instance.
That's why IMHO only governments can do those kinds of things right now. Only governments can make high-risk-high-payoff extremely broad and long-duration investments and then capture the upside through overall economy-wide growth (via taxation and other means). Nobody else can both afford the risk and capture some of the upside.

It's possible that in the future someone will invent financial vehicles to make it possible to make those kinds of investments in the private sector, but it hasn't happened yet.

Edit: in a sense there is already something, namely government bonds, ETFs, and long-term positions in currency markets. But those are too coarse-grained. What we need is some way for private investors to make private investments in things that are all of: high risk, high payoff, and broad payoff.
According to some historians, OP is right about the Black Death. For example, it has been suggested that it led to the Renaissance. See for example here:

https://dailyhistory.org/How_did_the_Bubonic_Plague_make_the...

The Black Death was horrific, but had what I would argue were some very positive long-term consequences.
I've heard economic forecasters predict that the economy will spring back once the crisis is over. Their reasoning is that the crisis is an external issue, not a problem with the economy itself, as with the housing crisis. Once it becomes more contained and controlled, there will be work for people to do, and people available to do that work, and the economy will just start humming along again.

I'm more pessimistic. The extent of the layoffs, even if temporary, is just too large to not have a lasting impact. What happens when people with inadequate emergency savings get laid off and can't pay their bills? There's a cascading effect. Maybe they owe a landlord with inadequate emergency savings who now can't pay his mortgage. Maybe they owe a bill to a small business operating on small margins that can't stay afloat. Maybe they owe a corporate behemoth that has aggressively taken on debt and now needs to lay off a bunch more people to be able to pay off that debt. The federal government's mortgage deferral solution might help homeowners, but it's not going to solve the problem that people are going to continue to need to buy things and not have the money to buy them. Even those of us who are fortunate to have some emergency savings will see those savings dwindle down if we're laid off.

And keep in mind that in a lot of cases, when people lose their jobs in the U.S., they also lose their health insurance. Not a great position to be in during a public-health crisis.
I feel like you've lost the thread here. Real Life™ is the part of the economy that's being shut down; over a billion people are no longer allowed to go to a cafe or speak to friends or continue their day to day activities. The concern isn't that an extended shutdown will be bad for Goldman Sachs, but that it will make ongoing life intolerable and resuming normal life impossible.
I don't see that text on the page. Was it a 6-year period? If so, the accuracy is basically perfect. (21.05% annual growth will return 214.6% after 5.9996 years.) Otherwise, weird.

> edit : yes this was for a period of 10 years on the market which should be around 8% annual returns instead.

How did you get a period of 10 years? It runs in 3-year increments.

And the survival rate is only 3% to 20% for COVID-19 specifically, based on data from Wuhan, following patients for a month. Long-term mortality will be even less.

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6...

Plus you need nurses and doctors to intubate the patient and setup and monitor the actual ventilator. The machine itself is a small part of the equation.

I think the focus on ventilators is somewhat misleading. If you need mechanical ventilation, you're a goner anyway, and your bed and healthcare staff could be better used on someone else. The 'lack' of a machine is just a very visible component.
How many years down the line? Because for the environment, I can’t see anything better than a “mass culling” (since the only way energy and other resource usage will go down is a reduction in population).

It would be very interesting to find out how Watson actually interpreted both the category and the "answer".

I don't know the actual amounts of time contestants are given, but on TV the final category is disclosed many minutes ahead of the "answer". Then a contestant has perhaps 30 seconds to formulate a "question". An eternity for a massively parallel computer like Watson. Quite different from the rest of the show, which relies on lightning reflexes when played by "champions".

Viewed from 30,000 feet (quite appropriate for an airport question, eh) I think that Watson didn't understand the category. Watson did not know what the words "US cities" meant. Those aren't words that would normally have any sort of double meaning, so if Watson understood the category, why would it have "ignored" category information? That doesn't make sense, especially for final Jeopardy.

As Dr. Venkman might say: "good guess, but wrong!" In Watson's defense, it did not have very high confidence in its answer.

We'll probably never know the real story. That's not the kind of information that IBM would want to disclose, mainly because it would probably make Watson look bad.
This article is flatly wrong. Some early Romans may well have used so-called 'Roman numbers,' which retained some common use among the masses throughout the years; but any Roman of real education, particularly a Roman geometer or mathematician, of an era after around 100 BC would've used the more convenient and refined Greek numerals, which were base-10 just like our own, and which were in fact a bit more complex than our numbers in that they used separate characters for the tens and hundreds slots. In fact, the Greek system of numerals predates the Roman by hundreds of years. [See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_numerals]

This belief that Arabic numerals were the first base-ten system of numbers, that our own modern methods are vastly superior to the methods of the past, or that, as the author of this article puts it, "the Romans did not know anything about the binary system," is silly misinformation. And for what it's worth, Apollonius of Perga's treatise "On Conic Sections" is probably the most complex and beautiful mathematical treatise I know of before or since - and yes, that's counting everything from the modern era.
Hey, since you're reading Josh, I have a question: isn't the harder part of this securing the chemicals / reagents / disposables / tools to actually perform PCR? I thought you needed special (patent covered) reagents, 96/whatever well plates, seals, pipettes, etc. Sorry, I'm not trying to be disrespectful of your efforts, but it seems that even if I had a PCR machine, I'd still be a long way from doing PCR on anything interesting.

In any case, best of luck. I used to work on software that controlled MJ Research thermocyclers and on a light sensing / real time pcr system software. It was kind of interesting, but the companies that build these devices move slowly and charge (in my mind) way too much money. This market is ripe for disruption. (I worked on a slightly bigger, since discontinued, version of this: http://www.bio-rad.com/prd/en/US/adirect/biorad?ts=1&cmd... )

Interesting, though, for DIY, I was expecting him to do it the way Linde did, back in 1894, that being:

Compress some dry air.
This will heat it up, so cool it down.
Return it to atmospheric pressure.

While expanding, it, of course, gets even colder still, and condenses. Liquid nitrogen is old tech, older than you might think.
