Modern Inertial Reference Units [0] (IRU/IRS/INS) are fitted to most airliners and business jets, and are an alternative to GPS. IRU accuracy is less than GPS, and older units have issues with drift.

The FAA hasn't approved any IRU for ADS-B[1] backup.

More importantly, ATC can use the Mode-S[2] transponder without GPS to locate the aircraft. Secondary Surveillance Radar won't be phased out in 2020. ADS-B will be required by the FAA in 2020.

> But doesn't a color simply consist of levels of Red, Green, and Blue

No, not at all. Pantone seems arduous because you're unaware of all the simplifying assumptions that you're otherwise making.

Your perception of a color for a single illumination stimulus is indeed a simple three-dimensional quantity (as your eyes have three color channels). But the stimulus itself is defined by an intensity at every wavelength.

For an extreme example, something that fluoresces takes in say UV light and outputs lower wavelengths. I think the Pantone model simplifies away things like fluorescence as well [0], but I've thrown out the example to show how many dimensions we're actually dealing with.

For a purely diffuse example, first take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cones_SMJ2_E.svg . To my approximate reading, 530nm and 575nm have equivalent responses for your "green" color receptors. If we have one material that does not bounce 530nm and one that does not bounce 575nm, they can look the same if illuminated with equal amounts of each [1] but then look different if illuminated with a "same colored" source that is lacking 530nm. This is why people have problems with fluorescent and LED lights - colors look weird because their emissions are "peaky" and not the smooth "black body" curve we're used to.

[0] Although maybe not, with the prevalence of whiter-than-white papers, laundry detergents, etc.

[1] With each material having the appropriate amount of red/blue bounce to equalize those channels as well.
Maybe if you are taking Java the language in isolation but if you consider the JVM ecosystem than I'll absolutely say the JVM does concurrency better. While the JVM offers something like quasar (http://docs.paralleluniverse.co/quasar/) which can match go's goroutine and channels plus an actor interface or the really excellent Akka (http://akka.io/) for a non blocking async actor framework. Offering a lot more choice than golang's single concurrency pattern. I've written major applications with both go and Akka using Java (and scala) and while both were successful stable and performant it's hard to argue with the JVM's concurrency story.
This may not be entirely in line with what you're looking to do, but Kaggle is one heck of a good way to learn data science and machine learning. Some of the competitions in particular lend themselves to a deep learning methodology.

The best part is that the competitions keep it fun, and the eventual winners share the methods they used to get such good results.

Good luck!
>>> Taxi drivers aren't from here. So I get this is racist, but at least with Uber / Lyft we knew it was our neighbors. They spoke like we did. There were no communication issues around where you wanted to go.

Thank you for pointing out the REAL reason why Uber/Lyft are popular. It has nothing to do with convenience (a lot of taxi companies also have similar apps) and everything to do with the fact that people want to interact with those in the same socioeconomic class as them.
> For instance, there is definitely a lack of freedom of speech on twitter/facebook/etc.

I do not agree, Facebook is displaying the speech they choose to display and this is their exercise of their freedom of speech on their website. Same for twitter. Users have no right/reason to expect they can say anything on these private properties.

> In this case, my statement is meant to encourage people to seek out Freer software.

We agree on that.

And they are hopeless because they are section 8 vouchers. There is rampant evidence welfare systems in place stratify society in the exact same way that literal walls built decades ago to segregate neighborhoods worked. If you are on welfare, you are operating in entirely different socioeconomic circles from people with access to capital and thus upward mobility.

If you grow up surrounded by people who subsist on poverty-wage welfare checks and you are literally isolated to that community because you parents are a part of it, how in the universe are you ever meant to obtain aspiration or escape it? There is no special snowflake effect here, people are the product of their circumstances (another important sociological observation the last two decades of post-cold-war-propaganda has presented ample evidence towards) and if you have a society built on a foundation of traditional racism and segregate people on that basis you should not be surprised when the members of that group lack strong work ethic or an attitude of improvement. They are put in a cultural cell with iron bars on the windows and while you can with effort escape it you are in a prison with all your friends, family, and everyone you have ever met, so when even given the option to escape, you often do not. It is why prison recidivism is so high with long-term incarcerated, and why particularly ostracized minority groups show less economic mobility.

Did he edit his comment? He's obviously failing at reading comprehension, but I don't see how his comment is a political rant in any way. He's (incorrectly) pointing out Vox's bias in the way they present data.

Personally, I also don't trust anything on Vox after they posted this debacle of statistics last year: http://www.vox.com/2015/10/3/9444417/gun-violence-united-sta... which attempted to make a point on why gun control was so needed while completely failing to control for suicide (the most common cause of gun related death) and trying to make points about how gun control lowered suicide rates (by gun) while failing to note that a link between overall suicide rates and gun control has not yet been established by any study.

While this particular poster is simply wrong about the data presented here, I would hate to think that anything that doesn't conform to a left-wing viewpoint on HN would be considered "political" just for that reason.

Sheet mulching is easy and incredibly effective in my experience. Cardboard topped with a mulch layer like straw. (Optional soil amendments below the cardboard.)

In a small backyard garden you might need to pull out a couple dozen weeds over the entire growing season.

You'll also be able to reduce your water use significantly because you've eliminated most of the open/broken soil that loses water to evaporation.

> but that can't happen in a democracy

Is implying every variation of democracy has been tried, and all have proven unable to establish... UBI? That is a low bar to set for policy implementation potential.

But this applies to any government program proposition. Before you can actually propose to enact anything, you need to actually be represented and have power in your own government. That is the first and foremost problem in the US, as this Princeton study shows[1] (tldr, policy propositions in congress have no correlation with the will of the people, and steep correlation with campaign financiers will).

But this is not a UBI-unique problem. Want more / less free speech / guns / healthcare / infrastructure / military / welfare / social security / taxes / anything from the government? You might want to actually have influence with it first, which you do not have if you are not rich right now.

Non-Linear Data Streaming – A New Dimension in Digital Technology?
Regulation is a big reason the ISP situation is the way that it is. You can't just up and build an ISP in most neighborhoods. Simply controlling a large percentage of the market is not the same as a monopoly; That word gets used far too often. We'd be in a better place if most the regulatory hurdles impeding new ISP's from entering the market were done away with. I think your asking for Uber and Lyft to be more regulated would do more to cement their place as a monopoly than any call for taxi deregulation would. Cities doing the regulation often want one company to deal with as opposed to seven so it's a mutually beneficial to impede competition in the area.
Coal wouldn't disappear overnight even if a tax made it uncompetitive with other sources of electricity. There's a ton of infrastructure that would keep it going for quite a while. That's why I can't reconcile "today, absent coal" with this idea.

Anyway, to your point, I think there must be better ways to help poor people afford energy than to subsidize the electricity of wealthy people and industries. Set aside a small portion of the tax revenues for helping poor people pay for electricity. The important thing with taxing an externality is to capture the cost, what you do with the money matters much less.

Your (non-government) interpretation of UDHR does not have logical coherence that works for the whole document.

> I already said I don't care what the government "can protect me from"

If so, there is no need to refer to the UDHR in an attempt to back up your argument. That document's preamble is "Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, " which calls on governments to enforce the rights. Since enforcment is irrelevant to you, we can ignore the UDHR and not let out-of-context quotes of Article 19 muddy up subsequent conversation.

> moral right

I'm not proposing we give up. My position is more nuanced than that. I suggest that people don't frame non-government "free speech" as a "moral right". Instead, see it as an "economic puzzle". This leads to clearer thinking. The "free speech" (unrelated to government arrests) that people want has a "cost". Understand what that cost is and analyze how to pay for it. If you're unwilling to pay the cost, you're unwilling to have "free speech".

It does work for a certain volume of data. You can index fields you're interested in, even do so after the fact, and it's like any other database in that case. And sometimes you have small apps that do need complete historical log data, so Kafka et al just introduce unnecessary complexity since you'd need to aggregate into a key value store anyways.

But if you do this, god forbid you go beyond where indices can fit in RAM of a single machine. And you will do so, with probability one given your product doesn't shut down. So you're running a gauntlet against a redesign.
There is certainly hardware available that can do better than this, but the parent asked about cell sites in specific (and cell sites are one of the top users of the Thunderbolt). You can get GPS hardware based on atomic references, for example, that will do better over these kinds of timespans.

You're right. I had conflated GDP with disparity. GDP in the 1910s was more or less on par in Mexico, Finland, Portugal, Norway and Italy. That parity has dissolved and become disparity in the intervening years. On the other hand, in the age of the robber barons, you had the lower class and the wealthy, with little in between, so those not at the top were not as unequal as they are today. It's my impression it was more stratified (into two lobes). And given most people were rural and there were few in the professional class, I think it makes sense.

There is a new school being built but it's in an area that's already underserved and bussing kids pretty far. SCUSD (much of Sunnyvale is in the Santa Clara Unified School District - why school district boundaries are disjoint with municipal boundaries around here I can't explain) passed a $419M bond measure in 2014 (Measure H) which includes classroom expansions.

Sadly it's not quite so easy to increase road capacity as unlike a real city where you can add residents without adding vehicles, it's simply not possible to add residents in the 'burbs without adding an equal number of cars on the road. I'd love for it to be otherwise, but the sprawl can't be fixed just by rezoning lots for higher density.

I think it's more an issue of poor planning than fear of change (although yes, some residents want the city to be a 1966-themed amusement park). Hanlon's Razor and all. Personally I have no attachment to the sentimental issues around Sunnyvale but my proposed solution of levelling half the city and rebuilding it like central Toronto seems like a non-starter.

Same. In my mind the post was all over the place.
While the data might show these correlations I disagree on the premise that is reached as a result.

It is not just economic stratification, but cultural differences.

Those who have great wealth, and are not celebrity, tend to respect education, or at least attending 'upper tier academic institutions' for their upper society connections. Among this group of people knowledge /is/ power and it is respected.

In economically down-trodden situations it is as if the population has been conditioned that they are beyond redemption, that there is no hope in enlightenment bringing them a better future. Maybe they are correct in that respect as greed is a major driving factor in politics.

I suggest that the culture must change to enshrine knowledge and intellect as well as society rewarding normal productive labor for a real solution to these issues.

One advantage of Uber/Lyft is that you set your destination in the app, and the fare is also pre-set, so there's hardly any verbal communication required, aside from chit-chat and maybe some negotiation regarding alternative routes etc.
The single biggest source of grief in our production database has been the one JSON field we used once to avoid adding another table.

Actually, if this lack of index update isolation is correct, you can get the matching document zero, one or multiple times!
Even with zero regulation the ISP market is hard to enter, building all the cabling is a major investment.

And try competing with uber with no regulation: uber will just reduce costs of their service (as they are doing now) and fund it with their existing money, while you have to run a profit and will be more expensive.

Regulation can help against that.
