To be honest, if this is the case I'm very surprised that fund managers like T Rowe Price and Fidelity haven't been invoking it for as long as they've held shares to do their monthly marking of their private positions. I mean, doesn't it seem like they actually have a fiduciary duty to do this as it lets them most accurately value the holdings that they have?

They do invoke it, and they sign the non-disclosure agreement, and they don't talk about what they found. However since the valuation changes pretty slowly generally (only on new shares being issued, excluding those from vesting employees) and the fact that there are generally two classes of stock (preferred and common).

This argument appears to be about a fight between a person and their high school friend who was the CEO, who said one thing (in terms of ownership), but in fact did something else. A number of employment agreements these days include boiler plate text that says you wave your 220 rights when you join, but it isn't clear that that wavier survives your separation (parts of the agreement certainly do) and of course it isn't clear that Delaware law even allows you to waive those rights.

Personally I think Domo is not thinking straight here, settle with this person and move on. But personal egos may be involved and that can be an impediment to forward progress.
The economic win (and comparatively easy problem) is to have trucks self drive on the interstate, stopping on the outskirts of whatever city or town is the destination to pick up a human driver who will take care of the "last mile".

No, they're ugly, broken messes that look nice. Systemd is a monster. If it was an init system, I wouldn't complain, but it's not. It's an init system that's also a cron replacement, a syslog replacement, an automount replacement, a docker replacement, a consolekit replacement, steadily gaining a tight integration with udev, overcomplicates everything it touches (we need a hostname daemon now?), provides libraries to high-level userland that are DELIBERATELY POSIX incompatible, promotes binary formats for no reason, flies in the face of tradition for no reason and breaking code (screen sessions die now), overcomplicates PID1, increasing the chances of a kernel panic, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Systemd is a tiny step forward, followed by a massive step back, and of you can't see that, you haven't been paying attention.
as the parent comment is possibly hinting at, a relevant novel exploring this is "The Water Knife" by Paolo Bacigalupi

it's a bit of an unpleasant read in parts, but it is exploring a future where there isn't enough water for everyone, and many people are only left with bad options, or never really had any.
> Aedes aegypti is not even native to South America- it's African. So eliminating it from the New World can't do that much damage given that the ecosystem got along fine before it arrived.

This logic may have been applicable way back when the first few Aedes aegypti made their way to the New World, but at this point, so much has changed in our New World, and we don't really know all the ecological changes that Aedes aegypti may have already caused. Perhaps, they have become an integral part of our society.
There is a huge difference between the real world and a closed track.

Ageed. With existing Google, Tesla, Mercedes, BMW, etc. companies' technology you could have cargo hubs off the highways that are entered and exited by self driving trucks. Either human driven trucks can then load/unload those self-driving trucks or humans can then get in and drive the last last mile, so to speak.

I think Uber is run by jerks, and want to vote with my wallet? I am not a big fan of the idea of secret-sauce surge pricing.

I also take cabs when it's feasible and not significantly (ie, 2x) more expensive than Lyft/Uber (though most of that travel is expensed).
I know a lot of people prefer Lyft as a first resort but to me it has two serious problems:

* Lyft doesn't let you book a ride by web or sms, which means in an emergency, I can't cadge a ride easily at a web cafe, library, laptop at a Starbucks, borrowed phone, etc. Lyft is optional, having a working m.uber.com login is a survival skill.

* I've never experienced the level of drivers outright misbehaving and fucking with passengers in an Uber that I semi-frequently experience as a friend's guest in a Lyft. I don't know if it's culture or what, but Lyft drivers seem to feel comfortable doing things like picking a location and ditching you or not accepting your instructions to drive a particular place, which as far as I can tell is a "never drive for us again" infraction over at Uber and the drivers know it.

This again. It comes up now and then.

Herzog's film is not a "re-imagining", nor a remake. It has literally nothing to do with Ferrara's film other than the title; it's an original script and an original story. Herzog didn't even want to use the title, but the studio or the producer (Edward R. Pressman, who produced Ferrara's film) vetoed the decision.

I don't know why you think Herzog somehow owes Ferrara anything. The controversy, such as it was, came from Ferrara, who complained to the press without having seen the film other than being told there was a remake being made. He didn't check his facts before making false accusations.
The example can be written like this though:

let codes: Vec<HuffmanCode> = data_table.iter()
.zip(&code_lengths)
.zip(&code_table)
.map(|((&value, &length), &code)| {
HuffmanCode {
length: length,
code: code,
value: value,
}
})
.collect();
It's worth pointing out that as cc payments have become ubiquitous, theses fees are built into the pricing we are all paying.

Essentially, the participation and dominance of credit card transactions in our (U.S., at least) economy maintains a some-percent elevation in consumer prices. That "toll" going in large part straight into payment processors' and banks' pockets.

If you do pay by another means, perhaps the seller gets a bit more on that particular transaction. But I've talked with many small business owners who greatly lament these transaction fees. Not insignificantly, because they've been unable to compete with the negotiating power of big business, the latter as a result getting lower fees and a resulting competitive advantage.

As for "deadbeat", I've heard that term before, used for precisely the circumstance described.

Are they "losing money"? I doubt it. But along with oligopoly comes an oversized dose of greed. And some portion of management looking to sell their own performance by upping the return/profit rate on extant accounts. Or something like that, no doubt.
I took a Lyft recently - when I made it clear I didn't want to talk, the driver clammed up, was polite and I got to ride in peace (had a headache & just got off hours of customer calls).
> The Cultural Difference is about how lists and tuples are actually used: lists are used where you have a homogenous sequence of unknown length; tuples are used where you know the number of elements in advance because the position of the element is semantically significant.

Oh, if only it were so simple! Python itself doesn't understand what the heck
tuples are, in that the built-in functions often treat tuples as simply
"immutable lists". See isinstance() and issubclass() functions, which expect
what's meant to be a list of classes, but you need to pass a tuple.
*args is another such example, as the article mentions.

If what Python calls tuples were the thing with structure instead of order,
they wouldn't be iterable.
Set up a distribution center on I90 30 miles outside Chicago (e.g. Gary Indiana) set up a distribution center on I80 30 miles outside New York (e.g. Paterson NJ). Use human drivers for the last 30 miles, and automation to drive the rest. The route doesn't go through any heavily trafficked areas except Gary and Cleveland, which you could avoid by starting the route at 9pm for a 9am arrival with travel through Cleveland occurring at 2am. I'd say that with current technology we could probably do this in less than a year. Since trucks cost about 150k new and truck drivers can't drive 12 hours straight, the economics of full automation are much easier to justify.
> they need to drive for hours and hours on end, instead of just 5-45minutes
If you assume that whatever vehicle considered is being driven near full-duty-cycle, the total amount of time is roughly conserved (perhaps autonomous vehicles will get 2x-3x utilization per day, for better or worse)

You could create a system, potentially using truck stops or in some way your own infrastructure, which is a docking point for autonomous vehicles. At these locations, human drivers pick up and drop off the otherwise autonomous vehicles, allowing humans to take the burden of the difficult portion of driving, while computers handle the boring part of driving. Of course, you would have to place similar stops every (80% of a tank of gas, measured in distance), as well for refueling. Naturally, this idea has a dozen holes at the moment and would need to be improved to be viable.
For a very literal definition of close. The following is from 2014... it would be interesting to know how much progress they have made in how much detail their cars need to be successful.

http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2014/05/all-th...

The key to Google's success has been that these cars aren't forced to process an entire scene from scratch. Instead, their teams travel and map each road that the car will travel. And these are not any old maps. They are not even the rich, road-logic-filled maps of consumer-grade Google Maps.

They're probably best thought of as ultra-precise digitizations of the physical world, all the way down to tiny details like the position and height of every single curb. A normal digital map would show a road intersection; these maps would have a precision measured in inches.
Easy to be precise if they are cheating :)

Is it possible to do desalination entirely without electricity?

Ram pumps can pump water to a higher location that the water source without any added energy. The kinetic energy of the moving water is all that is needed. The waves supply the kinetic energy.

Once water is pumped into a water tower, then have a bunch of mirrors point at the tower to heat it up. Steam evaporates and flows down to a lower location.

Seems like once it is set up it would be completely stand alone without any electricity being needed. Not sure what kind of output it could generate or how efficient it is, but it wouldn't require any man-made energy.

> Freight generally needs to be handle all of the problems that a cab does (turning, stoplights, other cars, getting from point A to point B, etc.), mostly because pretty much all freight trucks need to go through a town/city at some point.

Freight consists of both long and short haul, with different needs and approaches. Your point applies to the "last mile" delivery phase, which may or may not be a significant part of the operation.

In fact, many big stores like Walmart, Costco, Aldi, and the like are placed pretty close to an interstate exit.
I would guess that this allows significant reduction in costs, as the operators don't need to switch from their optimized long haul vehicles (big trailers, etc) to more maneuvarable, less efficient (per unit weight of goods) trucks for the last mile stage.

There is plenty of freight that is carried on highways over long distances with low traffic volumes, in a similar role to rail freight.

> Additionally, they need to be able to drive at night in areas without much lighting,

During winter at higher latitudes a lot of driving is at night. As for lighting, plenty of city streets are dark and have poor lighting at night.

> they need to drive for hours and hours on end, instead of just 5-45minutes, etc.

So? Fatigue is something that affects human drivers. There should be no serious differences for an autonomous vehicle driving 10 30 minute trips and one 5 hour one, modulo start and stop. In fact, if anything, longer duration trips tend to involve a greater fraction of highway usage that does not require significant brake usage, turning, etc.

> Finally, they are 40+ feet long (instead of being around 15 feet long) and have much less maneuverability and a much longer stopping distance/time.

I agree with this.
Meanwhile I have one of those that I'm keeping on Win8 .. and an update has broken auto-rotation. Very annoying.

People talk about this being "unprecedented" however there is ample evidence that the Pueblo people lived in the Colorado River watershed, and then moved on after an extended drought. That was a few thousand years ago, and frankly I don't see the residents of Las Vegas moving on, but I can imagine that changes that happen with or without anthropogenic contribution have been affecting communities in the area. Where is the story advocating a 'keystone pipeline' type effort to carry excess water from the inland river systems over to the west?

My point is we're going to continue to suffer from too much and too little water across the country. Why not build the equivalent of the Interstate highway system to give us the power to redistribute water to where ever it is needed and route it around vulnerable cities and communities when there is too much?
Don't get me started on setting up production hdfs and hadoop that is a nightmare. It is comparatively well documented with lots of people running it! As soon as you get into the weeds with kerberos and HA mode forget about the documentation explaining anything properly. Cargo culting from random blog posts, reading the source, and just playing around with config files is the name of the game. There are some weird interactions between KDC settings and some of the daemons that are not documented at all.
It would be nice if all the Kubernetes tutorials didn't assume you're using GCE.
The problem is that it's not declarative. You can't tweak the config and run it again to converge.

Kubeup is designed to run once, unlike systems such as Puppet and Terraform that declaratively set up the world to fit your specification.

Kubeup also does a lot of mysterious stuff. By using it, you don't have a clear idea of which pieces have been set up and how they slot into each other. It is, in short, opaque and magical.

For comparison, I set up Kubernetes with Salt on AWS. It was, by all means, "the hard way", and took me a few days to get running and a couple of weeks to run completely correctly (a lot of stuff, like kubeconfig and TLS behaviour, is still undocumented), but as a byproduct I now have the entire setup in a reproducible, self-documenting, version-controlled config.
If you mean the lack of theoretical guarantees due to a highly non-convex optimization, you could argue the same thing about 30 year old 2-layer networks. And we actually do have a decent idea why deep learning works well:

We found out that the SS was filming through hotel mirrors in a couple of rooms during Summercon 88. Poor Knight Lightning had to watch hours and hours of nothing but drunken shenanigans (because nobody trusted the dude who showed up out of nowhere claiming his handle was the "Dictator", so basically we trashed his room. I left a blender in there, the only thing I did in that room was mix batches of Margaritas.)

When we had an LOD meetup in Dallas in 1989 or 1990, we changed hotels at the very last minute to avoid a similar situation...
There's smarter, but there's also faster. Historically, robots have been rather slow and clunky. That's over.

Industrial robots have become much faster. Here's Bosch's packaging robot from 2014, looking at small objects and putting them in order for packaging.[1] Then Fanuc built a faster one.[2] Faster CPUs allow using modern control theory that considers dynamics, and fast machine vision. The resulting machines are much faster than humans.

Those are production machines, able to run for long periods. Research robots are even faster.[3] That's from 2012. Progress continues.

> since <5 starring people is a death sentence, it provides a better way of differentiating between great and sucky

On the other hand, since Lyft won't match you with a driver again if you rate them 3 stars or less, that gives incentive to give low ratings to drivers you don't want to be matched with ever again.

I haven't had many of those, but I'm glad the option is there when it's come up: for example, texting while driving is an automatic 3 and a flag for safety, if not a 1. I don't want to ride with people who are liable to get me killed. Attempting to give me religious tracts is an automatic 1 (yes, this actually happened). Being creepy to me in general is a 1 (see: the guy who insisted on repeatedly screenshotting the Lyft app with my profile picture visible while I was in the car with him). People who make me sit in the back, especially when their front seat is completely empty, are an automatic 3 unless they make up for it by being a really great conversationalist (and I've learned to always cancel on people with vans, because they like to electronically open their sliding doors as soon as I start walking to their vehicle)

Sadly, this is a feature Uber doesn't have. With Uber, you can't do anything to make sure you're never matched with a particular driver again. I just wish Lyft also added a "never match me with this person again" option when cancelling rides or when being cancelled on... I have a handful of drivers I will never ride with because they were utter dicks to me when finding where I am. This includes a few people who, in an office park in the suburbs, parked a block or two way and demanded I walk. Then there was one guy who parked at the hospital across the street (a six-lane arterial with no traffic light in sight) from where I was and had the gall to send the signal that he was here: I called him to tell him he's at the wrong location, he responded "I'm at the hospital", and as soon as I said I'm somewhere else, he shouted "CALL ANOTHER!" at me and cancelled on me. Or the guy who texted me to demand I text him my address and then cancelled on me when I told him I already put my destination into the app. I've just had to memorize their names and remember to cancel whenever I'm matched with them.

Zika should receive more attention if we discover it now affects all adults and not just a minority of them. That's reasonable.

(If your point was about male privilege/priority then I don't disagree, but I don't think it's necessary to read that into this situation because the number of both male and female adult lives Zika could impact may have just grown enormously.)

It's been so long since I even heard anyone mention T-1, I had to look up the speed, 1.54 mbps. I remember in the early days of dialup internet access with 14.4k when this was seen as a very highly coveted connection to have access to.
