I'm not sure it would be criticised for making the female characters dumb. Because there are definitely quite a few shows that do this, and there hasn't been too much criticism of them stemming from that.

Then again, maybe it's a weird age demographic thing. Cause it seems like quite a few shows aimed at adults tend to make the male characters the dumb ones (like The Simpsons and Family Guy), but then a few more shows aimed at kids will let the female characters be the idiots (like say, Dexter's Laboratory).

Or if you want an example where both parents are dumb, any of Butch Hartman's shows seem to quality. The Fairly Odd Parents has both of the Timmy Turner's parents being about as dumb as Homer Simpson, and Danny Phantom could be similar in how it portrayed Danny's parents.
It is not that puzzling if you live in Australia and pay attention to the economy.

We have a residential real estate bubble that is worse than that of the US in 2006. Median house price to median income ratios in Sydney are worse than almost anywhere but Hong Kong. We have the highest per capita private mortgage debt of any country. This represents a massive unproductive overhead on the Australian economy, as the elevated cost of shelter flows into all other costs. Tax arrangements in Australia make leveraged real estate speculation more favourable than any other kind of investment, especially productive investment with any sort of risk attached. More than 50% of the existing mortgage debt is owed overseas via the big 4 Australian banks, so we are constantly exporting what wealth we have overseas as interest, so we can sell shitty houses built in the 1960s to each other for AUD1.2 million.

Many sectors of the Australian economy are filled by a limited number of participants (e.g. banking, supermarkets, hardware, telecommunications, petrol) who are most interested in rent seeking, and not interested in competing with each other.

The Australian economy has been a net importer of capital every year since the early 1970s, an almost ever year since post WW2. If you run a current account deficit so egregiously, the result is you sell off all your productive assets to stay solvent. This also means the pool of Australian capital available to invest in Australia itself is very limited.
Australia has some of the highest immigration intake in the developed world, but no long term infrastructure planning to account for such population growth. Since most immigration increases the population of the large cities, the lack of investment in transport infrastructure is most apparent. We grow the economy by increasing the captias. Per capital net disposable income has been static or falling for the last 5 years.

Politically, Australia has been without vision for real economic development outside rewarding entrenched rent seekers for the last 20 years. We have not seen any significant increases in productivity over that period.

You can hack and break into a bank's security ATM Machine without carrying guns or any weapon. How is this possible? First of all we have to learn about the manual hacking of ATM MACHINES and BANKING ACCOUNTS HOW THE ATM MACHINE WORKS. If you have been to the bank you find out that the money in the ATM MACHINE is being filled right inside the house where the machine is built with enough security.to hack this machine We have develop the special blank ATM Card which you can use in any ATM Machine around the world. this card is been programmed and can withdraw 2000 USD within 24 hours in any currency your country make use of. The card will make the security camera malfunction at that particular time until you are done with the transaction you can never be trace. getting the card you will forward the company your address details so we can proceed to send the card to you once you agree to the terms and conditions. you can contact us on email now atmmachinehackes@gmail.com
This was my thinking to. Highways first. Then high density city areas become certified, so maybe car drop you off and goes parks itself at a station after you doing the initial drive into the city. As it rolls out into suburbs driverless areas becoming a property value points, like schools or good internet today.

The line between developer and designer has been blurring for some time and will only continue to do so (hopefully! if our tools and abstractions keep becoming better). Often I find myself on the other side of what you stated, where the designer leaves me (the developer) as the de-facto designer.

And the main reason why is that the designer is only capable of thinking in their toolset, which happens to usually be photoshop. PS simply doesn't cut it dealing with the complexity of web applications in all the different form factors it needs to work on. This has lead me to believe that if you're a web designer, your medium is HTML/CSS and potentially JS. So you should understand and be fluent in it. The designer is responsible for actually building out the html templates/styling used, and the developer is responsible for bringing those to life, but each has a lot of input at every step. A lot of crossover builds better projects :)
Agree entirely! I'm on a DevOps team, and I love pair programming with my boss for an hour or two a week when we're breaking ground on something new during a sprint.

It's tedious when either of us are lost in the weeds, but it's damn helpful when we're fleshing out the rough structure, bouncing ideas off of each other.

It's really just a step above whiteboarding now that I think of it.

I don't find that much different from the other trades I'm somewhat familiar with, except that in those trades they ARE right. As in, there's often one way that's the best way.
J. Edgar Hoover worked hard to demonize it and to make it a federal crime in the '30s with the aid of such laughable propaganda as Reefer Madness. It helped him justify the growth in power and scope of the FBI. (I hope it's not yet a crime to publicly say that the federal government or any of its agencies would use propaganda to promote their agenda....)
It actually looks pretty nice, I did nazi that coming.

Talk. I wouldn't worry about the "accent" in the sense of vocal register or overall "sound" (which is after all you), but (in the spirit of "don't make people think") it wouldn't hurt to get a precise script of you want to say corrected to be 100% grammatically (and idiomatically) correct, with the help of a native speaker. And to try to get the pronunciation smoothed over to be as correct as you can get it, also. Then practice it enough so that it sounds perfectly natural and not forced (resting for a few days in between, to let it seep in). Basic theatrical technique, in other words.

Because there's something about talking to people in their language on level that's 100% correct (while still not trying to hide the fact that you're a foreign speaker) that somehow really impresses people and makes them want to listen to you. (Which shouldn't be too difficult for you, because going by your writing, your English is really quite good already).
>Mississippi's GDP per capita being similar to that of France, Italy or Spain is really hard to reconcile with the fact that many of us would love to live in the latter countries and couldn't be paid to move to Mississippi.

It seems to me that there are many people who say things like that about most of the less-populated states.

To be honest, I'm glad. After moving to SF from a small Midwestern city, I've realized that I couldn't be paid to live here. Even if we don't mention the extremely high cost of living in San Francisco, if we just consider the negative externalities:

- Garbage everywhere

- Constant noise

- Unbelievable homeless problem

- High crime rates

- Extreme clash of culture (I see anti-tech graffiti on my way to work every day; I regularly overhear pretentious "how could you not be in tech?" conversations)

- Infinite suburbia

- High rates of mental illness (not that mental illness is a bad thing, but I think it is at least somewhat telling about the environment)

I'd still rather live back home in the Midwest, even if we didn't talk about explicitly quantifiable costs of living. There is an entire America out there between the coasts that has absolutely none of the things I just listed.
The annoying part is that Chrome treats valid (g)TLDs differently. If you type test.dev in your browser it will try to resolve test.dev. But if you type test.loc, it will google for test.loc.

There are a lot of workarounds sure, but try explaining that to everyone else.

Hey there --

Full disclosure, I'm working with the company right now. I made the Unity Asset Tutorial Video as well as the rhythm game Rhythm Reach (and am currently taking a break from prepping for our launch party).

Also, take what I'm going to say w/ a grain of salt as I've been working in Volumetrics on and off for nearly 10 years with my personal project Lumarca: http://www.albert-hwang.com/lumarca/ -- so I've been drinking the Koolaid for a while now...

Volumetric Tech is a completely different medium, full of it's pros and cons. Many of the things people are bringing up in this thread are totally true and often infuriating when you start working in this space. You get x-ray vision (for better or for worse). It's impossible to meaningfully document (video always smashes it back into 2d). A focus on voxels make traditionally 2d content a weird problem (like text). And, to be sure, supportive tech for this isn't nearly as advanced as the stuff supporting VR. In terms of engineering, this creates a tough balancing act between price, visual fidelity, and scalability.

So -- why do it?

I do it because it's the only form of digital 3d media that exhibits passive physical presence. It's viscerally present in a way that no other digital media is. When people see a truly volumetric display for the first time (in person), 90% of the time they're totally floored. This is true even of my other volumetric display that had much much worse visual fidelity. The content is "worldlocked" in a very real way.

You also bring up the very real problem of practical applications. We're also exploring these questions (medical visualization w/ DICOM integration, songrams, games?). While this display is far from perfect, we're hoping that the low barrier to entry (a little $ + Unity) + some community presence, we'll make the environment friendlier for finding those solutions.

Anyhow, if you (or anybody on this thread) visits the NYC area, please drop us a note to come by to see it for yourself in person!
I am willing to take that risk. :)
The typical UPS driver here with some seniority is making $150k/yr if they do a lot overtime everyday, which they all seem to do.

Mansions here with people who run some kind of home finance business getting dozens of cheques a day and gigantic amounts of legal docs have special boxes that lock once you close the lid, so they leave the lid open and once closed it's self locking. Can't remember who makes them.

Combo lock you can securely change remotely would be good for airbnb rentals or self service po boxes, like German packstations.
> The whole point of the App Store is to help in discovery and I already pay a 30% cut for my app.

Actually, the point of the app store was distribution. That's what the 30% cut was for IIRC. And that's how they sold it, by comparing it to the 50% and more cut that older, traditional channels took at the time of introduction. I don't think they ever even thought about discovery, which would explain why the app store has become such a mess in the first place!

> And now they want to charge me for promoting my app in their store. This should just be a built-in part of the App Store story for the customers. This is why Apple customers pay a premium. Instead Apple sees an opportunity here to make even more money off me / the app authors?

I don't think making money is the main consideration for Apple here. Advertising can also play a useful role as a market mechanism (keyword: "price discovery"). For example, if you spend money to promote your app, you signal confidence in its value proposition. Also, you might be more selective in your targeting. Etc. So the money itself is almost incidental, what we really want here is the information aggregation and surfacing function of a competitive market, the most efficient matching of offers (app makers) and bidders (app users) across an extremely heterogeneous collection of agents.

But it needs to be set up correctly (this is what all the mechanism design literature is all about). Hopefully it is, but I suppose we'll just have to wait and see.
From the looks of it I wouldn't lump those mob programming/debug sessions in the same category as pair programming.
Couldn't you just not install those apps you don't want?
I really don't think HN is shy about pointing out flaws in any study shared here.
Main thing is production deployment software and a service level agreement for models we build.

In machine learning in production there are 2 phases: training and inference (usage)

In training we have spark docker images where you can run cuda right from spark submit.

In inference mode we sit on top of DC/OS by mesosphere embedding lightbend's (they created scala) micrsoservices technology conductr to scale out automatically on a mesos based cluster:

The driving hours usually come out of the participants free time instead of out of the work force. The traffic jam will increase gasoline consumption.

You are right though, it isn't a good example. Here is a better one: Someone getting cancer increases GDP significantly due to health care costs.
I think we shouldn't base our arguments for legalization on tax revenues. I hope the tax revenue will go down as more states (I hope) will legalize.

I oppose the use of sin taxes to fund our government. I hope most people would agree with me on that.
> what's so inflexible about .ch in particular?

Well, I remember when arriving for work in Geneva a few years ago, a French colleague informed me (quite seriously :) that one can not urinate in the street. The American colleague mentioned "oh, and quiet hours after 10 pm". And you are not supposed to hunt the swans swimming in the lake. (& My youngish Swiss friends all complain about how "boring" it is.)

I think Switzerland is one of those love it or hate it things. I loved it.
The original thesis I was responding to was the theory that, due to historical experiences, Europeans are somehow much more concerned with personal privacy (in general) than others, which is is empirically false.

State versus corporate surveillance was not the topic. Europeans may indeed be more mistrustful of corporations than others, I don't know; but Europeans are clearly not so concerned about personal privacy in general as compared to others (though they seem to like to believe that they are.)

The BND, and its local equivalents in other European countries, are now openly conducting mass surveillance and citizen profiling on a scale that neither the Stasi nor Facebook could ever dream of achieving. Most of the citizens of Europe don't seem to care much at all about this. Therefore, the theory that Europeans are especially privacy-conscious as compared to others is false.

Incidentally, with corporate surveillance, you (at least in theory) have the option to simply not use that corporation's products. You can't opt out of state surveillance.

Oh man you're mixing up so many concepts. GDP is product - what value you produce during the year. Nothing is produced during a traffic jam. If you want to see accumulated wealth and climate taken into account, compare quality of life.
But you stated that anything using LIDAR was not capable of robust tracking. Perhaps you meant that anything using LIDAR was doing so because camera-based tracking is not very robust. But that's not the straightforward interpretation of your statement.
This is a good critique of the more extreme forms of libertarianism.

I think a lot of the reason libertarians go wrong is they have a mistaken view of human nature that ties in turn to a mistaken view of the original state of the human human race. The seem to believe humans originally lived apart from each other, and so have the psychology needed for that sort of existence, and only later joined into societies.

But actually, the scientists have determined that humans originally lived in small foraging bands, and so have both individual and social instincts, such that a libertarian society simply would not work.

A good book on this is Darwinian Politics: The Evolutionary Origin of Freedom, by Paul H. Rubin.

I read a theory that says that there's no such thing as time. What we call time is really our perception of the effects of entropy in the universe. So, there's no such thing as time travel since we would need to somehow reverse entropy which seems impossible since it would involved changing the whole universe.

If true it would give an explanation as to why we have not seen time travelers.

"Well, that's another person with their own ideas that have nothing at all to do with mine. Bounty programs on human lives is a terrible idea. Still, the fact that you've now decided to respond, not to me, but someone else by way of me tells me that you've run out of sensible objections and are grasping at straws."

I have no clue what you are talking about. You initially responded to me [0]. You are very confused.

Anyway, I still think proximity to civilization should not be the main justification for extrajudicial executions. Thats just like my opinion man.

"I also think you're underestimating just how far out in the middle of nowhere we're talking about here, and how rough the area is. If you want to kill someone and get away with it, there are much much easier ways to make that happen in rural Africa."

I didn't mean kill someone and get away with it. I mean, if person x wants to kill person y to get payout z. That is why I responded to the initial commenter. Without a trial you can claim anyone was anywhere doing anything. You don't have to go to the bush. You can drive 2 miles out of town and kill them. But I obviously don't even know what your position is and honestly don't care so I may be "grasping at straws".

Whenever I'm keto adapted, I can fast for 23 hours out of every day without any effort. I eat once, between 6PM and 7PM.

Recently, I've been following the zero carb movement, which advocates only eating animal products (meat, fish, fat, cheese, cream, egg) and drinking water. I'm looking forward to exclusively eat beef and drink water for an entire month.
The internet has made it very easy to shield ourselves from the arguments of people with differing views. Disclaimers such as this are just another way for us to filter what we read and further isolate ourselves ideologically. Who cares who said it so long as what they said has merit? Conversely, a healthy skepticism is always valuable, regardless of the source.
Yep, by life I meant "life on Earth". I guess I should have clarified. What I mean is, if Earth gets destroyed, all life everywhere (as far as we know it) gets destroyed. So we should do our best, whatever it takes, to make sure we spread life to other planets to mitigate that.

Sure we may cause environmental damage to get there, but I think that is far outweighed by the benefit of being a multi-planet species.

Why are you surprised that Apple isn't involved in a field that has no material impact on their business? Outside of Siri and related projects, I don't see where AI/machine learning has any immediate benefits.

Twitter and Intel missing seems like something to take note of, but I didn't even think twice about Apple. I'm more surprised GE is missing than Apple.
