I am quite affected by pay equality. The presence of it with my current employers means that we have much better demographic representation here. We're able to retain a lot of good engineers/scientists that happen to be women or minorities, that at a previous employer would have left due to the pay disparity (or silently or loudly suffered, affecting work performance and morale).

I'd think once you have built sensors that can digitize the whatever properties of the plastic that are relevant to sorting them, actually recognizing the different types of plastics would be rather simple.
I think it's the standard file format export for CAD stuff, like gerbers are for hardware.
Mostly agree with what you said, but just throwing this fun tidbit out there. The stated nm "size" of transistors are no longer accurate (and haven't been for some time). For example, when a company says it's manufacturing at 16nm or 14nm...that is the size in which the chip designs are drawn and planned, but the physical size dimensions are closer to 20nm. Same will be true when they go down to 10 and 7nm, it wont actually be a 7nm transistor in physical dimensions. And as far as lithography, right now they're mostly looking at "extreme" ultraviolet wavelengths but the problem is mass producing is not currently feasible with with how long it takes the photoresist to react. That being said things like quadruple patterning allow them to get pretty small with EUV wavelengths.

>Argument from ignorance (from Latin: argumentum ad ignorantiam), also known as appeal to ignorance (in which ignorance represents "a lack of contrary evidence"), is a fallacy in informal logic. It asserts that a proposition is true because it has not yet been proven false (or vice versa). This represents a type of false dichotomy in that it excludes a third option, which is that: there may have been an insufficient investigation, and therefore there is insufficient information to prove the proposition be either true or false.

reflog is one of these things where you think "that would have been awesome to have" in hindsight.

In 2009 or so, I was using git-svn on the KDE SVN. I was preparing a major refactoring of Kolf in a local branch (about 60 commits with 10000 lines changed), and pushed it to the SVN once I was satisfied with it.

Unfortunately, the 20th-or-so commit failed because a SVN pre-commit hook rejected it (there were some DOS line-endings in a source file that I imported). At that time, git-svn was (AFAIR) already prepared to handle a failing SVN pre-commit hook on the first commit (e.g. when authorization is missing or stuff like that), but not somewhere in the middle.

The end result was that my working copy, my index, and my master branch was completely trashed. And I didn't have a backup... Luckily, the tip commit of my feature branch had not yet been packed, so a clever grep on .git/objects found it, and I could recover my pre-push state.

Since then, reflog has always been enabled on my systems. Luckily, I haven't needed it since.
I believe Rabies inspired vampires as well:

from wsj

"The roots of the vampire myth stretch back nearly as far. Tales of vampire-like creatures, formerly dead humans who return to suck the blood of the living, date to at least the Greeks, before rumors of their profusion in Eastern Europe drifted westward to capture the popular imagination during the 1700s.

In its original imagining, though, the premodern vampire differed from today's in one crucial respect: His condition wasn't contagious. Vampires were the dead, returned to life; they could kill and did so with abandon. But their nocturnal depredations seldom served to create more of themselves.

All that changed in mid-19th century England—at the very moment when contagion was first becoming understood and when public alarm about rabies was at its historical apex. Despite the fact that Britons were far more likely to die from murder (let alone cholera) than from rabies, tales of fatal cases filled the newspapers during the 1830s. This, too, was when the lurid sexual dimension of rabies infection came to the fore, as medical reports began to stress the hypersexual behavior of some end-stage rabies patients. Dubious veterinary thinkers spread a theory that dogs could acquire rabies spontaneously as a result of forced celibacy.

Thus did rabies embody the two dark themes—fatal disease and carnal abandon—that underlay the burgeoning tradition of English horror tales. Britain's first popular vampire story was published in 1819 by John Polidori, formerly Lord Byron's personal physician. The sensation it caused was due largely to the fact that its vampire, a self-involved, aristocratic Lothario, distinctly resembled the author's erstwhile employer."

"The Plague Behind the Zombies
The undead didn't always breed by biting. For that, the mythmakers needed rabies."

Historically when the masses were closer to missing 3 meals in a row on account of bad public policies, or were regularly sent off to be slaughtered en-masse in battle in other countries on behalf of their monarchs, this is the kind of thought process that led to revolutions.

And things generally got better. Not indefinitely. And sometimes they stayed objectively BAD. But better. And change and progress is never a straight line.

But now? With everyone in the Western world well-fed with cheap (relatively) calorie-rich food, and well-entertained with cheap (relatively) entertainment, everyone is too scared to lose what they have to actually question the status quo. As soon as anyone does, there's a reminder that millions of people in the 3rd world will not have enough access to fresh water in our lifetimes, so we should be happy with what we DO have not what we don't. And if that's not enough, many of those people from the 3rd world want to terrorize and kill us, don't you know?

So what's a society to do when the best we can do seems to be Barrack Obama and Justin Trudeau (not bad, but ultimately unfulfilling)

The bolsheviks had it partially right all along, honestly. There's enough wealth in this world for the entire planet to live prosperously in peace. But neither central planning nor the free market is a good enough system on their own to ensure there is some semblance of fairness in the world and yet incentives to innovate and grow humanity forward.

Technologically speaking we are at an extremely exciting time. I feel like I should be optimistic about the next 20 years. Instead I'm terrified of what humanity will actually do with this potential in the short term like watching a toddler with a hand grenade and just hoping he chews on it for a bit, and gets bored of it, rather than figuring out the pin.
Shorting a stock isn't always practical. Stock buybacks can be deceptive if a company buys back stocks with debt and doesn't have proper cashflow to pay it off. Non-technical investors see the stock going up and keep piling more cash in. If you think markets are perfect, you have a lot to learn my friend.

1) Once the training is done, the prediction part is simply matrix multiplications - I would think that's probably faster and far easier to parallelize than any other advance feature extraction algorithm you will be performing real time on the image.

2) Did you try using CNN?

I might be grossly wrong here, but I have gone through this path before, but I have come to the conclusion that clumsy hand-crafted feature engineering on images usually performs worse than letting the algorithm figure out. It's much harder to scale and you will end-up coming across a lot of edge cases.

It is a terrible argument and runs counter to everything that various equality groups have worked hard for over the years.

Using that same argument means throwing away the idea that you are not defined and judged based solely on your sex, gender, race etc.

These are nice schemes but the caps are worrisome. Modern professionals in North America pile on so much debt (student loans of a few 100K, mortgage debt of a lot more, etc.) that the countries average income doesn't reflect reality.

Discussion on a frugality forum: http://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/antimustachian-wall-of-sham...

In my friend group, our incomes vary by about a factor of 5. We all spend about the same, though. Which means those that are making more are much more comfortable, putting money away for a rainy day.

In contrast, a college friend that keeps in touch makes more than any of us, but she likes to lease new cars every three years, and she must spend money on the poshest pre-school in the area, and she is shocked to hear about people saving $2/3/5k a month. That's money that could be spent!

I don't think I have a point here. I just can't wrap my mind around people making $150k and not being able to "raise $2000" in a month's time.

Except in many cases there was no rip off involved.

Very common example: Someone sees something on alibaba that looks cool. Say an apple peeler for $.50. So they buy 10k of them, slap on a label that says BlahBlah Inc, and sell on Amazon for $10. Maybe they give away 500 of them on review sites to build up some reviews for the brand BlahBlah Inc apple peelers.

Other people buy the same thing from alibaba, slap a different label on, sell for $8.

If Amazon goes straight to the manufacturer and asks for it in a different color to sell for $5 under the "Amazon Basics" label.. who really got ripped off? The invention was already there. The wholesaler was already there. It is just shifting around who gets what piece of the profit pie.

Can see 100s of these kind of sellers on /r/FulfillmentByAmazon
While you are technically correct (the best kind of correct!) - we as consumers have still been deceived into thinking we are purchasing and driving vehicles that we thought were significantly cleaner than what they really are.

First writers started to use leaving the toilet seat up as a plot device to generate drama in sitcoms. Then others started to write light hearted articles in women magazines telling women how to deal with man who leaves toilet seat up. Now we have number of people who think it's something that can be reason to have a heated argument.

My theory is that we are living in society where people take cues on how to deal with everyday issues from media, social media and written word instead of their community and social environment. We look at the Rorschach inkblot and there is always some group who knows how it makes you feel and how those feelings are responsibility of others if you are willing to listen.

Our culture is becoming neurotic.

Quoting from their FAQ:

If you are on a linux system, it is easy to do a debug backtrace, which provides very useful information about the crash to the developers:

in a terminal, type: gdb freecad (assuming package gdb is installed)

inside gdb, type run

after the crash, type bt to get the backtrace, that you can include in your bug report.

>> We have no retirement savings, because we emptied a small 401(k) to pay for our younger daughter’s wedding.

> The author isn't mysteriously broke. Money is not being stolen from his account. Rather, he's spending a lot of money on things which he believes are necessities (like paying for a child's wedding), and sacrificing a lot of things which he believes is optional (like having retirement savings). Some would suggest both categorizations are wrong.

Bingo.

As much as I think of social security as a ponzi scheme, one thing I do like about it is that it forces people to contribute and they can't touch their contributions. Sure you might only get $.60 back for every dollar you throw in there but hey at least you'll get something.

It's sad to say it, but the majority of people are not financially savvy enough to make sound decisions. Left to their own devices most people wouldn't save diddly squat, work till they're fired, then be destitute. And they probably won't have kids to take care of them anymore either because "Kids are expensive ... you can't afford that!".
So much propaganda has been targeted directly at the 'middle class'. Be thankful you aren't in a third world country. At least you have a job. At least you live in the USA.

Meanwhile, wages are being cut, they are being bled dry paying for healthcare they can't afford, new entrants have tens of thousands of student debt they cannot pay off, they realize their voting in new people, either republican or democrat gets them the same old shit (see: Sanders and Trump, the outsiders).

I am optimistic for the next stage in US development, but I also think you are correct that people are angry, but don't know which direction to force it. Fascism is just as likely (if not more likely) than a socialist revolution if people uphold strong nationalism, protectionism, and direct their anger at some marginalized social group (formerly Jews, now Immigrants).
I think part of the problem with those 47% is that they can't distinguish the two cases. Middle class people aspire for their children to be upper middle class, and the traditional routes to such jobs (excluding the software world), require an expensive education. They do not require an expensive house, or expensive car, or expensive wedding.

The article strikes a chord with me, because the author exhibits some of the same thinking as my own parents. They paid for my brother and I to go to college, for which we are very grateful. But they also say that the giant house in an expensive zip code, the foreign cars, etc, are "for us" using some nebulous baby boomer thinking like "if you want to be somebody, you have to look like somebody."

Far be it for me to judge my parents' choices. But recently, my dad quit his job and started a business. At that time, he definitely wished he had built up more of a runway.
