This may be true - but even if the sensor is reading zero vehicle speed and greater than idling engine speed, it's difficult to assume these are in fact reverse and aren't just "engine revving" moments. Looking into a time-series breakdown of each moment - seeing if the engine speed is 'changing slowly' as you mention - would be key in properly identifying Reversing vs. Revving.
It's a great feeling knowing that you've built something which is used by thousands of people, but even better when it's generating revenue to cover the costs (your time, hosting, etc). However, to put things in perspective you're really only talking about 100 visitors per day and $1 in revenue. Factoring that, I suggest focusing more on improving the site, growing it's traffic and then when it passes 500 visitors per day start focusing on revenue. If you prefer the AdSense route, make sure you've optimized your ad placements and the type of ads you're serving.

This advice is coming from someone who has a site doing roughly $5k month from AdSense via 275k+ visitors / 1.3M+ pageviews and it makes up about 30% of the site's revenue. Rest is from paid plans & affiliate marketing.

You mention work, exercise, and work. What do you do socially? Try to keep up the current routine, but change some nights for nights out with friends (or nights in) each week. You may be experiencing some loneliness with your burnout.

In my experience, burnout comes from too long as a student/worker (even self-employed) without giving yourself a break (among other things, but this is a common start to it). Maybe find some other hobbies to help you out, even if they're only intermittent (like my infrequent gaming hobby). They give you something entirely different to focus on for a few nights each month. That break can do wonders for your motivation and focus when you return to your other projects.
Maybe it's your	expectation that anything interesting in linguistics
needs the language of part of speech categories, relative clauses, morphology ... Maybe that assumption needs to be updated? Maybe the
language of network architectures, parameter update equations, learning rules ... is a better way of talking about language?

Given the successes that Google's machine translation has had, and the lack of success of traditional linguisitics, it might appear to be the case that this paper is directly about language.

That snark is uncalled for. Stopping using WhatsApp and Facebook would make communication with some groups much more difficult for me, for example, because everyone uses them.
This is why I specified engine revving slowly; engines which are disconnected from the drivetrain tend to rev up very quickly. In addition, cars with automatic transmissions are a majority of the US fleet, and spend very little time in neutral.

I have the Epson L210 Ecotank and have been very happy with it for my use, which is printing lots of pages (1000s). I would much rather pay for what I'm getting directly ($300 for the printer, $13 for 70ml bottle of ink) than plans for an "almost-free" printer and $60 cartridges to subsidize the printer. The problem with "free" in everything is that it's not and costs more than paying for what you really want to buy. As someone once said, "Expensive is expensive once. Cheap is expensive over and over again."
A history is here: http://digitalcommons.wcl.american.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?a....

As for fairness: loser pays disincentivizes bringing lawsuits, whether meritless or meritorious. Under loser pays, certain frivolous lawsuits would not be brought, but meritorious cases that are often uphill battles would not be brought either. If you're in the business of going after polluters (like the Sierra Club), or challenging national security policies (like the EFF), the law is not on your side, even if your cause is just.

As a practical matter, you can't just take the English rule and import it into the U.S. Europe is an "ask for permission first" place, while the U.S. is "ask for forgiveness later." That allows U.S. companies to move faster, but puts the legal system in the position of being a backstop for unsafe products, financial fraud, pollution, unfairness in hiring, etc. So for example, it would be unfair to make it untenable for individuals to bring lawsuits for wrongful termination without giving them the protections against arbitrary dismissal European workers enjoy.[1]

Much of the support for loser-pays in the U.S. is an attempt by businesses to have their cake and eat it too. They don't want plaintiffs lawyers' bringing privacy lawsuits, but they're not exactly clamoring for that system to be replaced with European-style data protection laws administered by regulatory agencies.

[1] Which model is more efficient is debatable. I think in areas where causation is difficult to prove (environmental, product safety, employment discrimination), "ask for permission first" does a better job protecting the public at lower cost. But it also gives tremendous additional power to the government to micromanage the economy.

> But ultimately a web front end isn't the thing that makes the payment happen.

The "brochure" argument makes 100% sense to me for something like the distributed web, but not for a dynamic web application. Brochures just sit there and look at you. Brochures don't take payments and process callbacks, and send commands to attack.
Define "algorithm". In the broader definition, yes. Kalman filtering, motion compensation, track association, XY-mapping, and similar signal processing algorithms. For NLP it has been various forms of statistical modeling and general multithreaded architecture and coordination.

As for the algorithms typical of computer science, not really. Searching and sorting has not been much a part of what I have done. My experience is mainly in translating math into code, often into code with real-time deadlines.
Which is why I just ignore the smart stuff and use a capable STB instead.
Wow, you'd think something like that would be opt-in, especially since Signal's entire selling point is privacy and security. :/

That's a critical failure in my book.
Yes, because it has helped OpenSSL a lot.
The side table only gets a slot for an object when the object is retained (has its reference count incremented) after creation. (Every object starts with a count of 1 at creation.) Before ARC, you could certainly have lots of objects that were never retained after creation. Since ARC tends to be more careful than a human about retaining objects (meaning it retains objects in more places), I don't know how much more load ARC puts on the side table, but I suspect it's not zero.
The riskiest part of relocating is securing housing ahead of time. You want to make sure that your new home is comfortable and that there are no regrets when you purchase or sign the rental contract. Unfortunately, sellers and landlords are not always honest. They conveniently leave out the negative aspects when they advertise their offerings. One of my co-workers from Europe even got scammed out of his apt and left homeless on arrival! That is why many people have to go see the place in person before committing. However, sometimes that is not possible because of time and money. Not everyone can take time off to fly in and book hotels. My goal is to solve this issue as a real-time remote video assistant.

After scheduling a viewing, a PokeBin representative shows up at the apartment and conducts a live walkthrough with you via FaceTime or another video calling app of your choice.

It could also be used for anything where you need eyes on the ground (i.e. check on CraigsList meetup, your pet from work, crowdedness of restaurant, if a party is popping, for a specific talk at a conference).

There were a lot more trilobites than there are humans. And they lived in places more conducive to fossil formation.
Just going to brainstorm some ideas, without really being attached to them:

1. The English system doesn't necessarily protect a litigant. A well funded patent troll or a poorly funded but well meaning patent violator is now potentially on the hook for both damages and attorney fees. This is especially problematic when the law favors the accuser (as it seems to do in the American patent system).

2. It's a system that favors the "big guy", the party that has retainers for research, potential suit identification and preparation, not someone who might be accused. This forces smaller parties to invest at least some of their resources in "CYA" rather than doing what they are built to do (make products, for example).

3. It could affect supply of attorneys available to take a case or their fees. Say you feel there's a good chance of beating a wealthy litigant, so you charge more and misjudge? Or you don't feel you could be paid by the opposing party? Grant it, this likely cuts both ways. In the case of patent trolls, it might be beneficial, but perhaps not in others?

High performance, low maintenance and supply, fragile. Military hypersonic UAV, anyone?
Yes, but different celestial bodies get there energy from different sources.
For the earth it's mostly radioactive decay in the core of the planet.

In others, like Io, it's believed to be mostly tidal friction.

So do engines which are in reverse and being controlled by drivers who are imminently about to have an accident :)

This proposal seems to ignore so much.

Like the intense friction, and heating, supersonic flight produces. Concorde's service speed was limited by heat limits place on the aluminium alloy to ensure a decent service life. They were always white as that was part of the spec - dark colours would have taken heat absorption out of limit!

Wing roots varied by >100C each flight if I remember right, and fuel was used as a heat sink. Are we going to use the batteries?

If the outer surfaces are conductors, what are we doing about icing conditions?

Concorde, or likely most SST, engines put out a lot of thrust in a very fighter-like profile (they were a continuation of a fighter engine, and had reheat). Electric fans aren't going to work efficiently in that profile and would probably be large diameter, which isn't very supersonic friendly.

How are we now handling taxiing and subsonic?
Edit: To expand the last point, Concordes were horribly inefficient subsonic, and burnt something like 2t of fuel to get to the runway. Reheat was used at takeoff and going transonic. They pumped tonnes of fuel after reaching supersonic - for weight and balance and reduced drag. They were basically really big fighters.
Google might release a new laptop and tablet that run on a completely new OS
I'm surprised this logic still works. You'd think settling with a troll would put you on the short list for other trolls as an easy mark. The approval system for patents is so broken now, I'd practically expect multiple overlapping grants covering the same "feature" to exist.

You can settle with one troll and still keep your business, but not a non-stop stream of them. At least when the mafia extorted you for "protection" they wouldn't let anyone else muscle in on their turf.

That's a very Google idea, and it's a bad one. Malware distributed through Google's ad system has been an ongoing problem.[1][2] Letting Google's advertiser customers inherit Google's trust is a terrible idea.

Google needs to put all their ads in IFRAME sandboxes. Tightening up on what an IFRAME can do wouldn't be a bad idea, either. No popups, no self-starting video, no absolute positioning outside the clipping pane, no expanding the frame size...

What software is even patentable anymore? Some light reading of articles and wikipedia[0] makes it appear that post-Alice Supreme Court ruling anything mathematical, or anything that is an abstract idea implemented by a computer, is not patentable. I'm struggling to think of what is left. Cryptography is pure math, as is data compression. Is a specific type of UI patentable?

I like that it is python3 with experimental python2 support :) Hope more people do similar.
I think that tactic makes a lot of sense when it's being applied to good laws. Like, "hey, you know you violated our XYZ contract here, and you know that if we go to court you're going to have to pay me $X, so why don't you just pay me slightly-less-than-$X now and we both save ourselves the trouble." That helps everyone involved. In a sense, all contracts and obligations work that way.
Jaywalking when a street is empty is safe; it does not mean that jaywalking is safe in general, and that one should get used to it.

In this case, `.initialize` is likely also faster because any previous-value-checking logic than might be there is explicitly not used.

So the pattern seems that zippy-compiled-modern-language-strongly-typed stuff works as a basis for a framework on devices, No? Why not just go with that paradigm for a new Firefox OS but call it "Phoenix OS" or something? Would be cool if they abstracted that for JS developers with ReactNative-like developer experience on top of it so it was more approachable as well or just let Facebook do that. Dumb idea? Good? This is probably not taking into account the cash buckets raining from the two ivory towers that already did it though.
I thought something similar, as the salaries are clearly based in the States.
Am I reading correctly: WDAGfME (for lack of a better acronum) is essentially starting a VM with a fresh copy of Windows for every site that it is protecting? Does this happen for every open & protected tab/window? What kind of overhead does it have?

The idea sounds similar to Qubes OS, with the exception that it's transparent to the user and doesn't have to be configured by the end-user.

"The Manchester computer had a special instruction that caused the loudspeaker—Turing called it the 'hooter'—to emit a short pulse of sound, lasting a tiny fraction of a second. Turing said this sounded like 'something between a tap, a click, and a thump'. Executing the instruction over and over again resulted in this 'click' being produced repeatedly, on every fourth tick of the computer's internal clock: tick tick tick click, tick tick tick click. Repeating the instruction enough times like this caused the human ear to hear not discrete clicks but a steady note, in fact the note C6, two octaves above middle C. ...

Turing was not very interested in programming the computer to play conventional pieces of music: he used the different notes to indicate what was going on in the computer—one note for 'job finished', others for 'digits overflowing in memory', 'error when transferring data from the magnetic drum', and so on. Running one of Turing's programs must have been a noisy business, with different musical notes and rhythms of clicks enabling the user to 'listen in' (as he put it) to what the computer was doing. He left it to someone else, though, to program the first complete piece of music."
The point isn't that every open source app is awesome, it is that now you KNOW.

You're directing snark towards OpenSSL presumably because you think it's a poorly coded. If it was closed source you might not even be aware of the issues and there certainly wouldn't be the open source efforts to code alternatives.
I am not sure we should assume bimodality in programming means we are all special snowflakes. That's a dangerous and self serving interpretation

It seems bimodality is correlated with "does it even compile" - the first hump is those who can't get it to compile and the second is those who can but then spread out normally on ability.

I would conjecture that the first hump would be seen in any educational environment where, for example we took illiterates and made them write essays. Those who had tried reading and writing in high school would have a better chance of putting ink on paper.

We just are seeing an artifact of software not being taught early enough in everyone.

Edit - how does my spelling corrector turn bimodality into bumps skirt...
The Robots We've Long Imagined Are Finally Here
They don't consider participation or hours spent studying as explanations for bimodality. This makes their method of determining belief in the "geek gene" questionable, and could invert the moral story of their results: Perhaps lecturers seeing low lecture attendance would like to believe their grade distributions are bimodal, but the data shows the lecturers' impact is at best a tiny factor among many, and grades are determined by factors out of the lecturers' control, such as students' ability.
