I've heard that "Adventures in Raspberry Pi" is awesome, but I'd also maybe throw in some additional R-Pi based hackery (for music http://www.instructables.com/id/PiMiDi-A-Raspberry-Pi-Midi-B... is pretty cool, but it all depends on what she's into!)
The comment is factual. It's not relevant who owns the cameras.

Look at any major incident in the UK recently and the police have CCTV footage from private businesses. Either voluntarily given or subpoenaed.
I found that to be a fun article, and it could be a starting point for creative exploration, but I think any suggestion that these images relate to our actual psychoacoustic perception of notes and music is wholly unsubstantiated.

I do perceive differences in the character of music played in different "keys", but 1) I ascribe these to aspects of timbre, dissonance, tuning, and performance practice rather than fundamental aspects of the notes themselves, 2) there's very little scientific evidence that I'm aware of that these differences correspond to psychological moods.

Nonetheless, there's a significant philosophical tradition going back to at least Plato that there is some connection between tonal systems and psychology. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctrine_of_the_affections and Plato's Republic for a couple of starting points.

Before you jump in try to make your millions, a fairly well-known and accepted statistic is that at least 95% of day traders (using any method) lose money.

All the very successful day traders I know lost lots of money in the beginning before learning how to do it properly. You need to have a solid source of funds to fuel your learning, and tremendous patience.
I read (on here) about eggs not too long ago. In Europe (UK?) where eggs are not refrigerated, farmers are required to give their chickens antibiotics to reduce salmonella in the eggs. That's why it's safe to keep them on the counter. In the US there's less antibiotics use in the chickens; instead the eggs are washed and kept cold.

I was surprised that the antibiotics are mandated in Europe, given the problems we're seeing with antibiotic-resistance in bacteria that's largely due to overuse in farming. I would've expected that the US farmers were using antibiotics and Europeans were not, rather than the other way around.

It appears the key success metric will be companies who:

1. Entered the emerging electric vehicle space with a "good enough" product that people will buy it.

2. Continuously innovate with new models. Since these are large pieces of machinery, this appears to be the money Tesla is leaving on the table by doing all their cars in-house.

(maybe) 3. Autonomy. Nobody knows what this will come to mean, and lawmakers are being wary. Add to that Tesla's direct-to-consumer model stirring up the lawmakers, and autonomy may get killed by the lawyers (non-zero risk, not trying to predict the future with any certainty).
Anyone hell bent on killing people will likely succeed. Surveillance is not the answer. Too much data is just as bad as not enough. The solution is finding out WHY people want to kill you and fix THAT.
You are at least legally obligated to not wear a disguise (the equivalent with the case at hand being changing IP addresses) to attempt to circumvent the owner's ban.

Because Yahoo owns $30B+ worth of Alibaba stock.

To use your analogy, it's like buying a body shop, but subtracting the $10,000,000 in real estate they own because it's not included in the sale.
I'll throw in one vote for writing your own billing system if possible. It doesn't have to be complex if you're not dealing with an existing legacy system or regulated industry. I process over $500K/year of SaaS subscriptions with basically just this:

* An accounts table with a paid_through column to identify when each person should next be billed

* A payments table into which you insert one row per payment for accounting/metrics

* A website form that submits to https://spreedly.com/ to tokenize payment information; the token is all you store

* A 100-line cron job that selects all the accounts whose paid_through date is in the past, then charges their subscription against their payment token, sends receipts or dunning mails depending on whether the charge went through, and updates the paid_through dates

Coupons, discounts, etc can be accommodated just by adding some columns and tweaking the billing script's SQL query. The payments table is sufficient information to calculate all the valuable SaaS metrics from your database as well -- CLTV, MRR/ARR, churn rate, etc.

Integrating with Spreedly instead of directly with a payment provider means you can change processors without changing any code -- your choice of payment processor becomes just another token.
I read Amelia Earheart's bio when I was in sixth grade. It doesn't necessarily have to be women in tech per se, but it helps to be a woman not in the entertainment industry. Most of our wealthy, "successful" female role models are actresses and singers. Sex appeal is a large part of their career and how they make their money. This is very problematic if you want a business career. Looking sexy at work causes all kinds of problems in more conservative environments. I think a lot about the fact that women have basically two models for how to look successful: Pretty women who are often wives or entertainers where highlighting their femininity or sexuality is a big part of it, or trying to dress like a man. In America at least, we don't have a lot of good role models for what successful women in business or government look like.

I think about this a lot and I think this is a big source of problems for women trying to figure out how to make it in business (or government or something other than as entertainers or someone's wife).

Zipline dev here. Zipline happily works on minutely data (in fact, we recently dropped support for daily mode entirely on Quantopian, which is built on top of Zipline).

All the tutorials and examples for Zipline use daily data because there's no freely-available minutely data that we can distribute to our users.
It is a completely made up number. If your argument against increased surveillance is based on its ineffectiveness, then there has to be a level of effectiveness where you would agree that that it's acceptable.

I work more like you than as described in the article; when I'm depressed, I tend to get worse at everything other than focusing on the thing or things that seem to be causing the depression.
I don't think it is comparable.

One is trade with caveats. This sounds closer to a shakedown and a possible prelude to future ownership demands and that is how it will be perceived by investors.

Big difference between a 30% tax hike and 30% ownership.

Isn't this the crux of the problem? Viewing it as "accessing" a company's "computer", rather than making use of a service in any truer "analogue world" manner?

> Nice, but in the current environment this will turn into another wack-a-mole game since obviously Google &c don't want to be used this way.

I've wondered about this (specifically in the context of DDG and Bing, but more generally). You say "another wack-a-mole game" (emphasis mine), so I guess that it's happened before, but I don't know of any occurrences. Has it happened that search engines have blocked this sort of large-scale aggregator/re-director type access?
I used to type that post a 2013 MacMini, sort of smuggled in the country, that belongs to my startup (not me personally).

The startup ran out of money, and I took the MacMini with me, so I could continue working.

The MacMini is also currently using a damaged HDD, that S.M.A.R.T. keeps telling me should be replaced and is already critical, because I can't afford actually replacing the HDD.

I was kicked out of the apartment I was living, and now I live with my parents, my parents own a store, and by law, all sales must have a tax form filled online, thus internet is a hard requeriment to have a store, I am using that internet connection.

The maintenance of my websites, cost for me in total, about half a month of food.

Currently my source of food is mostly debt (ie: me, my parents, and other extended family members are taking loans to pay basic stuff).

It is not like getting rid of my computer, would help me, my choosen profession, the unprofitable one, is to be a programmer, so I need it to work anyway.

So, it is not a question of valuing technology above eating, it is that I already have technology because of my work, and getting rid of it won't make food sprout on my plate.

Even if I managed to sell all my belongings, I would still be unable to buy food anyway (my net worth is negative, even if I sold every single object I own, somehow for their "new" non-depreciated value, even my glasses, I would still not pay all my debts).

I think it has to do with the car industry being the best out of a bunch of bad options. You simply don't need the kind of liquidity Apple has on hand to run a business with the current Product Lineup Apple has on offer. Sure they could do more here and there, but compared to the insane amounts of capital Apple has, any effort in the computing/telco space is just pocketchange.

If Apple ventures out of computing and into areas that need that kind of capital to be feasible, you start comparing lots of medium to low margin industries, the car industry being one of them.

When you look at Apple's brand, company focus and in-house experience, there's only a few industries where diving into could make it a relatively safe bet for the capital involved.

Cars make sense because they are complex technology, already very brand and UX focused in their usual sales processes, and there is a lot of money to be made in the optimization of the supply chain, all things which Apple is second to none.

There were surely other options and I imagine are still being discussed in Cupertino.

Large Scale Urban Development seems like a similar viable candidate, but the salescycles and product lifecycles are probably too much at odds with the rest of Apples business. But the prospect of an build to order Apple Campus must seem quite exciting to some people that are having a blast building the new spaceship.

Among other industries, i could also imagine the Hotel industry being on their marks for similar reasons.

Who has been working under this assumption for decades? It seems rather obvious to me that this is very far from reality, so I'm a bit surprised if the AI community thought the brain were a CPU for several decades.

I'm not patently opposed to GMOs, but without reasonable disclosure on what's been spliced into your food and limitations on patentability of these organisms we could be heading into a disaster zone.

Today corn is corn. What if in the future it's more fish than corn? What if you can't grow it without a license from the "manufacturer"? What if it cross-breeds with traditional corn and you can't even grow that because of patent implications?

That's the fuss.
The real-life metaphor doesn't seem to follow. This would be like being banned from a store and then arguing that their marketing flyer constitutes permission to reenter.

The courts aren't so black and white that they would prosecute someone for accidental requests.

But the more important point is that is a 'website' property that you get the legal right of exclusion on? Is the land metaphor even meaningful?
I agreed with your previous comment, but here I think you're missing an elephant in the room: a brain does not use "RAM", as it's implemented in von Neumann computers. There seems to be a long term storage of some sort, sure, but that's more like a hard drive storage than RAM. And in the brain, memory is integrated in the compute elements themselves. So the obvious way to copy such architecture is to use analog computing elements, which are at the same time memory elements - neural network weights.

When NN algorithm development reaches the point where they work well enough for commercial applications (which seems to be rather soon), the next step will be specialized hardware to run those applications, and that's where we can start building analog chips with huge weight arrays, programmed as analog values on transistors/capacitors/memristors/etc. That's when a true departure from von Neumann might take place.

If it was about money, he wouldn't be giving away most of his company while trying to retain a controlling stake. The fact that he is giving away his money suggests that he's more interested in being a successful business mogul than he is about being "FU rich."
Be a resource. At that age both me and my kids used parents as a toolbox (literally), driver, someone to bounce ideas off, last but probably not least a source of cash.

I've noticed that kids do what they want to do, at best you can steer toward a general family of actions. If the adult wants electronics, and the kid wants to learn by playing with MIDI and XLR connectors and semi-pro audio stuff, trying to steer toward raspberry pi isn't going to work unless you're incredibly sneaky, but bringing home a pile of surplus audio gear from work will be pretty well received.

My dad had plenty of money but knew I'd be a better engineer and better artifex in general if I didn't have the most expensive stuff. I'm not saying buy kids junk, especially not safety related which should be top of the line, but I learned a lot more designing and making my own ham radio antennas than I'd ever have learned opening a box and assembling a kit antenna or even worse opening a box to reveal an assembled antenna. You'll never really learn how to take care of (expensive) tools until you're "forced" to use junk tools.

You can learn a shocking amount of good engineering by osmosis, especially with some "pro" guidance. Buy her a broken down motorcycle or dirtbike (if not a car) and have her tear every piece apart figuring out how each part works and where and how its worn and how to use tools and just how stuff works. Tear apart some old VCRs and DVD players (older the better... modern set top streaming boxes are mechanically boring). Take apart at least three traditional desktops and put the pieces together into at least one working, "maxed out" desktop. I disassembled my mother's oven when I was about her age, this is not some weird metaphor either, this was back in the days of mechanical timers and clocks and rube goldberg thermostats that none the less sometimes worked. Every kid should tear apart at least one vehicle transmission and one carburetor in their youth. And talk talk talk, unless the kid learns something about metal fatigue or electrochemical corrosion or how to put out cutting torch fires they're just destroying stuff. Your job is very boy scout adult, chill out other than "no you can't use my cutting torch in the garage, take it outside first" and similar safety violations. All kids like burning stuff although its only socially (semi)acceptable for boys. Notice how I can melt aluminum in that wood fire, but not steel, tell me what that means? If I get one thing across in this post its that kids need to take stuff apart almost as much as they need to build stuff.

I don't know the "tech" SV social media coding equivalent of tearing apart a broken down Honda CBR 150. When I was a kid it would have been breaking copy protection on 8 bit micros which was well within my/our ability. Maybe fun with a packet sniffer or mapping out other people's wifi access points. Maybe replicate a software exploit following the premade instructions for the exploit, then try it on similar software and see what happens.
irrational is fairly dismissive of the great swathes of perfectly rational suspicion. We have a terrible track record at introducing entire animals into eco systems. And the argument about eventually they will replace the old stuff is amusing because once something is gone and you wait a generation then by defintion you cannot remember what the fuss was about. When your plants no longer seed themselves and have small amounts of genetic variation itl just be a memory that this is only beneficial to a small group of people.
We tried Platejoy for 6 months. We found it was useful, but found a few caveats:

It was very easy to back ourselves into a corner with food preferences such that you see the same set of 20 or so recipes recycled from week to week. This is probably our fault more than Platejoy's, but we are not especially picky eaters.

Some recipes required ingredients that we just couldn't source. We live in the midwest and the closest major city is 1.5 hours away. Try finding tahini paste at your local midwest walmart or smalltown grocer. In these cases I'd have loved substitution suggestions.

We don't have particular dietary restrictions. We also preferred old fashioned pen and paper tracking of our grocery list/pantry, so that feature wasn't something we used. We didn't really harness Platejoy's unique features. So for our particular situation Platejoy ended up being little more than a recipe suggestion tool.

I'd definitely suggest platejoy for people with dietary restrictions who don't want to think about or go through the hassle of finding recipes.
What kyu did they get to?
I'm arguing they're at the top of their game and they're up against a wall that is not easy to move.

There are a bunch of other paradigms, e.g. declarative programming was considered the thing some decades ago; but in general nowadays most domains are best handled by the tools & approaches we have from either the direct imperative simplicity, the OOP camp, or the functional mindset.
Drones for commerce/shipping, information and fun definitely fall into this category. So many benefits yet so many people against it. Probably same with self-driving cars yet we get on planes that are largely auto-pilot.

A smartphone was solidly within Apple's expertise in 2007. It's a small consumer electronics device (iPod, Mac) with a graphical UI (Mac OS X). Apple had tons of experience building (or more accurately, outsourcing the building of) small electronics. What was tricky about the iPhone was the RF stuff, getting the carriers to cooperate, and cutting data usage to squeeze into the crappy data plans available. Except RF stuff is nearly off-the-shelf, and Apple cut the Gordian Knot for the other two items by partnering with an underdog carrier in exchange for unlimited data plans.

A car is far outside Apple's expertise. Are they going to outsource it to Foxconn like they do with the iPhone, and ship them across the Pacific? Doesn't seem feasible. Will they buy or build their own factory? Doable, but totally new for them. What about sales, service, and support? The iPhone was able to use Apple's extensive network of existing retail stores for that, but cars need garages and mechanics.

Obviously, it can be done. Tesla pulled it off with far less. But there's plenty of room for Apple to crash and burn, too. (Figuratively, one hopes.)
Commission? Or maybe it's just a hobby?
By 2021, (hopefully) the primary mode of individual transportation in developed cities will be using your phone/watch/R2D2 to call a self-driving electric car to your location.

Things have already begun to fall into place for that reality.

The cars might then use AI/ML/networking to optimize their individual routes and schedules for their daily passengers, to ensure a continuously smooth flow of traffic.

Few people may even need to own a personal car.

What might Apple's advantage be in that world? The same as today I guess; seamless cross-device integration and maybe an ecosystem of in-car apps. Would it be enough to compel someone to purchase their own, likely very expensive, car?

Conflict can be a good thing in this case. Instead of Apple running off and doing the "Apple thing" which isn't grounded, they get pulled back in by veterans. Likewise, veterans have their assumptions challenged.
Indeed. Think about how many tens of millions of people drive everyday... But a self-driving car still proved elusive...
Actually I have consistently been updating my journal over the past month after a long hiatus. Things are heater than ever, but keeping a journal helps me keep on track with other things.
