I am not as optimistic as you that 4x improvements are possible, but I certainly hope you're right!

We'll also need major improvements in electricity generation and distribution. To charge a battery of ~300 kWh in roughly an hour, even over an industrial supply like three-phase 480V AC, would require in excess of 600 amps!

That's more than three times the maximum current a large, modern house can draw at 240V, and requires conductors over 1000 kcmil, or more than 1" diameter copper.

On an ordinary 15A, 120 VAC circuit, it would take an entire week to charge the car.

That might make fuel cells attractive. Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes, and never underestimate the energy transmission potential of a supertanker or freight train full of oil or hydrogen.
I agree, and I'm not suggesting that we turn the clock back to pre-1980's. The solution though, was no more to throw open the doors and say "To hell with this", than it would be with our broken prison system now, right? We needed to reform it, replace it, alongside our prisons.

We have to get over our need to punish, and start to count the dollars, realize that they can improve and save lives, and start rehabilitating. We can't do that when we have pathological cases mixed in with petty criminals, passionate "one-timers" and the like.

By the same token, we can't stop mass shootings when our standard treatment for schizophrenics without money is, "Find a nice streetcorner buddy." Most will die miserably, but of course a few will snap.

Mine does, yes. It's not really "get away from the internet", but more a recommendation for mindfulness, which includes getting away from stressors such as the internet.
If your plan for speeding up a slow user HTML/JS interface is to rewrite parts using WebGL, you're severely underestimating the amount of support code you'd need in order to make that happen. Coming from somebody who has developed and maintains OpenGL user interfaces, you're better off just writing the native app.
That's an arrogant perspective. What value are you adding that anything needs to be proved to you?
The C language is sufficiently broken that's it really hard to reliably retrofit any type of safety features on top of it. Since people assume that C is portable assembler, they expect it to map very closely to the underlying machine, which makes even specification-permissible changes effectively impossible (good luck getting fat pointers or non-wraparound integer overflow working on real programs!).

The state of the art here for retrofitting C code is ASAN and tools like SoftBound, SAFECode, and baggy bounds, all of which use shadow memory techniques and impose about 100% overhead. And you can't use them simultaneously because there's a conflict on the shadow memory, which makes actually deploying software with security checks enabled impractical if not impossible.

Disclaimer: I've worked on research projects for automatically adding software protections to C/C++ code (albeit for integer overflows, not memory safety).
I keep wondering how long it's going to take before even the super-rich remember the kind of world that inevitably creates for everyone, the festering instability.

Boston’s Government Center is terrible not because of the building styling per se but because it’s a giant concrete plaza with no activity & no structure & no people, and all the buildings are built at massive inhuman scale with nothing happening on the ground floor & absolutely no accommodation to foot traffic. The square overall could be improved by filling the square with pretty much anything: trees, market stalls, food trucks, fountains, children’s playground, whatever.
Somewhat misleading title, but a very interesting read nonetheless. "Welcome... To Neolithic Park!"

I haven't used an Apple Bluetooth keyboard but did use an Apple Bluetooth mouse some years ago that had endless loss of connection issues.

Other non-Apple Bluetooth keyboards also have this issue, where I'll be typing and it randomly loses connection mid-word, then sometimes comes back after a few seconds and other times just decides it's not going to turn back on without manually turning it off and on and fiddling with Bluetooth settings on the computer before it finally returns, or not.
Did anyone ever try playing the original worms CDROM as an audio CD back in the day? The saga of Boggy B and Spadge, along with the full vocal version of the worms theme tune still brings a tear to my eye.

Great question. Their result in this area did surprise me. Conscious reflection on past negative memories slowly turns them into less negative and less painful memories. There is a lot of work here done by Pennebaker about how writing about past negative events transforms our memory of them [1]. And the work done by my lab started off with a system that facilitated these reflections through technology [2]. There is more recent work on this in press.

I think the difference lies in the structure. Rumination is symptomatic of depressive thinking and often characterized by intrusive negative thoughts. Reflection on the other hand is the conscious process of sitting down and reevaluating a past situation (often in writing).

Not capacitive means that there are no isolated electrically conductive layers that act as capacitors. That is, the stuff isn't only non-conductive for DC. The alumina also increases thermal conductivity, and strengthens the epoxy, making removal much more difficult.
I keep notebooks still for most things. I use them to jot down ideas, sketch out designs and just generally write down my thoughts so I don't forget them, I usually have one to many per company and one per project. I also use them to take notes in meetings versus trying to take notes on my computer in real time. Personally, I find it pretty rude to be typing away on a computer while people are presenting or we are discussing ideas. It seems far less rude to jot down notes on paper and then come back to it an flush things out after the meeting.

I do translate my notes as I work through the problems and put them in a tool like OneNote or Evernote etc. But I always start off with sketches and notes in a notebook. My bet is if you looked at the pattern of those who use notebooks vs those who don't, you'd find those of us using notebooks still skew to an older average age. 40ish+ likely.

Personally, I also jot down pseudo code on paper to get my thoughts right before starting to code the problem. This lets me get my thoughts straight before coding it and I find I make fewer mistakes, plus I am faster when I do this. It is also one of the reasons I dislike coding interviews where someone wants you to just start writing code in the IDE. I don't do that well, because to me the process is, understand the problem, design the solution, engineer the solution, then start coding.
In general cursing seems to be a matter of transgressing social norms to emphasize a mental/emotional state. Your point perfectly illustrates why a religious "curse" would so often do that, and maybe why they have been falling out of favor lately. Cursing god used to be something that would ruin your life, if it were overheard and still is in some parts of the world. Mostly though, it's prosaic.

Scatology, biology in all forms, and in much of the world (Med, Mid East, Africa, Lots of Asia, etc) sexuality. Family relations are pretty much a universal target as well.
The Zeptobars[1] team and/or Chris Tarnovsky/Travis Goodspeed/Bunnie Huang/et al are probably better equipped for reverse engineering hidden functionality. Anandtech's analyses is great, don't get me wrong, when provided with the proper ISA/datasheets and then giving great critique on what implication feature foo chip bar when it's publically available, but I don't think they're the type of people who take red fuming nitric acid to get the epoxy off chips or are experienced enough in microscopy at the um,nm level to perform such analysis.

the iPhone will surely not go the way of the iPod. Apple’s “pocket computer” is more likely to follow the trajectory of the Macintosh: It will continue to take a significant but slowly growing share of the market, while pocketing a large share of the profits.

Apple's market share continues to slide, as his own graph shows. If he expects Apple's market share to grow he should explain why. So far all the indicators point the other way.

5 Reasons You Should Write in a Journal Now
I agree with most of your sentiments. Unfortunately Agile is getting to be a pretty watered down term, but in theory a bunch of "Agile meetings" is very against the whole meaning of Agile. Agile suggests "standups" because you're supposed to actually stand at the meeting, get tired, and go back to 'getting shit down'.

As far as I've seen, this isn't anything you couldn't do with basic classification and NER passes in OpenNLP. Straightforward, even trivial, stuff as far as existing NLP toolsets go.
The price around 2000 looks accurate, however in today's dollars I'm used to a /single ticket/ being much more like 12-15 USD (depends on time and theater; approximately double if counting dollars using your inflation scaling source).

The actual validity of that scaling data can be questioned as the model used and variables it tracked can result in much different outcomes.

Source: I remember it being not difficult to see a movie for slightly over 5 USD around ~15 years ago.
Why not just uninstall those social apps? There are lots of things that can be done on a phone without wasting it on social media. Things like language learning, listening to a podcast and the like.
The flower itself didn't so much bloom after being frozen, as cultivated tissue was worked in vitro to produce a viable flower. It's not exactly clickbait given the payoff, but it's still less than truthful IMO.
I'll echo that - although I won't call it new. Using routing protocols at server level, binding a service IP address to the loopback interface and announcing it through an IGP has long been a tool in the infrastructure arsenal. It is especially useful in multi-tenanted services and/or logically partitioned infrastructure, although I first came across it around fifteen years ago whilst building new-wave IP carriers in Europe.

This pattern avoids some of the use cases for overlay networks (especially tunnels, but anything that reduces MTU can still cause problems in this day and age), reduces layer 2 domain scale, aids in service mobility (especially great for anything in a logical partition whether it's a JVM, a jail/zone or a VM), adds multipath resilience for clustered services, gives infrastructure-level visibility on group membership, gives a cheap failover mechanism for intermediate devices like reverse proxies or load balancers, and is simple to extend e.g. more service addresses for new tenants. And yeah, the network guys love it.

If you are very clever it can also extend recursively into the virtual domain. A VM binding a service address to its loopback address, announcing that via an IGP over a virtual interface to the host, which is basically now just a router. This reduces L2 domain size issues for VM farms (albeit by moving them to L3), and solves IP configuration issues e.g. during VM migration to another host or during DR processes. However, the usual Knuth caveats about being very clever apply to this situation. If you do this with, say, a JVM running with docker inside a Xen domU inside a physical host then you get what's coming to you. Or, you could aggregate the announcements at the host if you didn't need the migration part.

The downside of all this is that ops people without ISP or MAN/WAN experience generally need this pattern explained a few times before they get it (some never do - try not to hire those ones though), and practically no *nix distribution or management/config tools support this out-of-the-box, so there's a build & maintenance tradeoff. You can also build things that make some applications get really, really confused. Inadvertently creating an anycasted service might be fun, might also be a recipe for inconsistent application data.
I'm not saying this is the cause of gun-related death but there are some cases where it may be a factor, and those are the cases where it might be reasonable to pursue a lawsuit.

China Life to Invest More Than $500M in Ride-Hailing Firm Didi Chuxing
I came to post the exact same comment. I would never lock me in in such a naive manner.

Core components such as AI, or even translation shouldn't be outsourced in my opinion, at the very least to be cost efficient, or as in the case of this product, to avoid dramas which can be foreseen.

Business wise and sustainability wise, reinventing the wheel is more often than not better than using a SaaS. Commodity hardware-as-a-service (servers, service bus etc...) is the only exception (but still is far from being a no brainer).

At the end of the day, after all the time and money we spent in college, we should seek a ROI by implementing academic papers whenever we need to.
I feel like cash has a ton of disadvantages that people ignore when they complain about credit card fees.

First, I have to find an ATM somewhere. Luckily my bank reimburses ATM fees, but many don't. Plus, I can only take out $20 at a time. If I want to buy something that costs $5, I take $20 out (+ a $3 fee which is 15%, a hell of a lot more than credit cards charge). Now, do you think I'm going to put the remaining $15 back into the bank? Hell, no. I'll find something else to spend it on. So this $5 purchase effectively cost me $23. That 2-3% doesn't sound too bad.
Likewise, Kiyosaki started with a small amount of capital and made most of his early money haunting mortgage foreclosures and flipping foreclosed houses. At one point in Rich Dad, Poor Dad he gloats about making some obscene amount in an afternoon ($50k or so?) by buying a family's home out from under them and selling it. That's an asshole move no matter how you cut it, and I'd rather be poor than be a scumbag.

On Linux, the symbols in glibc are marked as "weak"---that is, if the symbol "malloc" isn't found in another object file, then the one in glibc is used. It's that way so that users can override system provided functions (non-"weak" symbols that are duplicated are considered an error).
I went back to that part of the article several times, because like you, I found it a bit odd that there was no option to stand still.

The first part of the article definitely seems to give the impression that the choice is between UP or DOWN every frame.

But then a bit further on it was a bit more ambiguous and I could also interpret it as giving a probability for UP and a separate one for DOWN. Then it could also choose neither. But then it also could choose both, and you need a conflict resolution procedure (do neither, pick the one with highest probability, maybe just roll again?). Unless the actual game also has two buttons and you can just do whatever the game engine will do if you press both.

Another possibility might be to model the output a bit more like a human player would do it. First I'd change it into a series of timings + note-on/note-off commands (like MIDI), then perhaps add jitter to the timings (making sure the note-off doesn't jitter before the corresponding note-on). I've read that adding this kind of noise to a NN tends to improve its robustness, so that might help?

Most of those changes would happen as transformation step between the output layer and the simulation input, so I presume the learning algo itself can mostly stay the same. But there's probably a few snags to that as well.
I'd suggest looking at https://github.com/erikras/redux-form

The past few days I have really been getting into the 3REE stack: React, Redux and RethinkDB and have been learning so much. Here's a blog[1] outlining it and a github example of it [2].

Right, so people care, but the question is who, not a binary of whether or not people care, obviously people do if it's on the front page, the new question posed is who and an implied why.
It does not ignore the probability at all as that is what the boxes are unopened, so your wrong.

I'm not arguing its ok, I'm stating the situation. your plastic surgeon analogy does not map onto this problem and bit strawman in posture.

As for you labeling people apologists for wanting to discuss a situation clearly indicates a bias in perspective and step back and look at both sides of the problem.

There is no cookie cutter solution to this, and it requires a balance, otherwise you might as well scrap all security services as you are effectively replacing them with police who equally would not be allowed to do any form of surveillance or anything that might possibly entail the potential that they are looking into innocent people. You see the problem now.

So please, look at the problem from all sides, don't just dismiss and label, as we have facebook for such level of discussion.
He says that he sees other phones acting as a gateway to iPhones but I seem to see the reverse happening. I have seen a number of users getting frustrated with the lack of options in the iPhone market and moving on to other devices more tailored to their personal needs. The "generic" iPhone is what they bought first until they found more appealing devices that suited their specific desires better. I know very few people who've gone from Android to iPhone, especially in the last couple years.

https://github.com/loggur/react-redux-provide

This allows you to encapsulate all of your Redux actions/reducers/etc into standalone "providers". It decouples pretty much all of your React components (UI) from your Redux logic (models/controllers), which maximually separates your concerns and makes it trivial to reuse anything anywhere. It also allows you to instantly swap databases and/or websocket implementations.
