Go follow the link to techpowerup and you will see 89 comments. Most of them quite negative about the current state of Newegg. The complaints seem to date to before Newegg was purchased by a Chinese company.

Ironically, many of the complaints there say that Amazon is better. Ha. It seems like they all suck now!

Idea to make even more money (if you get billionaire on it, please make me a millionaire also :) ): there are services that post jobs to multiple job boards. Create an API they could hook your site in easily and offer them a 20$ discount, so they can offer your service to their customers for 40$ and can also win a 10$/job posted to you.

Examples of such sites that come to mind are ziprecruiter.com and broadbean.com

I read this recently, in a (rather interesting) interview/discussion between the economist Tyler Cowen and media wunderkind Ezra Klein [0]:

"COWEN: What’s your best time management tip?

KLEIN: To-do listing. The thing that honestly decides whether or not I have a good, effective day, where I feel like I got things, or whether I just wasted a bunch of time, was whether in the morning, I wrote down what I thought I had to get done that day, and throughout the day, was rigorous about putting the little tasks that come up onto that same list and then checking them off.

I keep that list going, and I keep it updated, and I keep referring back to it, I am able to be pretty efficient. If I don’t, I get lost and overwhelmed and anxious. I don’t find the big tasks to be the hard thing there. The thing that is really hard to do is the tasks that take between 3 and 15 or 20 minutes. You keep in your head, when you probably have 30 minutes where you can knock out a couple of them. They don’t feel like a big enough deal. You don’t remember them. You didn’t write them down in a clear place.

They just sit there causing you, or at least me, endless anxiety. When I actually have them in front of me, I will stay on top of them. Actually staying on top of them is more important, certainly, than I gave it credit for a year ago.

I wanted to make a simple, fast loading site to put essays on. I thought, "Surely modern browsers render html 5 with these fancy new article tags on any device in a readable format, right?"

Nope. Not at all. Shockingly bad.

"But at least there's a CSS way to limit paragraph width to a reasonable number of words or letters that works on any device and that degrades gracefully without resorting to Javascript, right?"

No again.

LaTeX does this exact thing and has for years. Why is this so damn hard?

Alas, that behavior is so much part of American business culture that I can't imagine people noticing. Indeed, Amazon is famous for being more long-term than most. It's why they'll take big gambles, like Prime and Kindle.

That long-term thinking has let them get so far ahead of their competitors that even with experience quality declining, I'm sure they'll still do well for quite a while.
At which point? Through the website?
If Tesla isn't confident enough in their self-driving service to accept the liability then I doubt it's good enough to be approved for road-use anyway. It sounds like they're trying to set a precedent to kill competition before it starts. Hopefully other self-driving car manufacturers force their hand or kill their business.

The fundamental flaw is employing contractors.. Governments should be doing all things they are responsible for in house.

Contracting anything out costs in terms of added security risk and in profits a contractor will want.
Perhaps, but it is not uncommon for example for chip manufacturers to specifically say their parts cannot be used in safety systems without their express written authorization. They are certainly confident their chips work, and they sell them by the bucket full, but if someone dies as a result of using their product that their chips are in, they don't want to be liable. They use those disclaimers to shift liability to the person who designed it in.
It seems like (2) is a good cause of (1), quite separate from helicopter parenting: working parents need a supervised place to store their kids.

When I was a kid, I could roam the neighbourhood in a pack exploring woods and feeding horses, because I was sent to an (illegal) child-minder. This was just the house of an auntie who had finished raising five kids and was still not sick of it.

Being illegal was the best part: had it been an official daycare centre, we would have been trapped inside a palisade and hovered over by nice 20-somethings with proffesional training and no kids. No Hulk-Hogan reinactments would not have been possible then.
These roles are: (1) chief of state, (2) chief executive, (3) chief administrator, (4) chief diplomat, (5) commander in chief, (6) chief legislator, (7) party chief, and (8) chief citizen. Chief of state refers to the President as the head of the government. He is the symbol of all the people. -Wikipedia roles of the president.

Open for interpretation of course, I just think it's dangerous where some people think the president doesn't have to be mindful of money and business sense.

And just like existing drive by wire vehicles, I don't own that software either.

Tesla is not prohibiting ridesharing. They are requiring the vehicle be in their ridesharing pool if you use their autonomous driving software.

Again, you own the car, not the software. Don't like the license, don't buy the car. Others will.
I'm not the author but can speak to some of this. Some amount of this was answered by the author himself in his blog post "Dead Code Should Be Buried – Why I Didn't Contribute to NLTK"[1].

While there are portions on NLTK that are useful, it suffers from having too many things under the hood and a lack of consistent maintenance. Many of them are superglued external libraries while others have not been maintained or have never been made to work well with other parts of NLTK.

The biggest example of this was that, for some time, it wasn't certain how the NLTK part of speech tagger was trained[2]. While that has been remedied, the remedy uses part of speech tagging code inspired via earlier work by the author of spaCy[3][4].

spaCy has been made from the ground up to support more modern deep learning features (easy integration of Keras is quite cool but I'm actually meaning the default inclusion of word vectors which has existed since early spaCy) while having a consistent and clean API that covers many sane use cases.

The API is highly Pythonic but the underlying performance critical components are written in Cython, meaning very few parsers are actually able to beat spaCy in speed (especially when using CPU and not GPU). Regarding speed, multi-threading is also a relatively trivial process - Cython releases the GIL around the syntactic parser. As a reference to speed, they used it to tag and parse every Reddit comment from 2015 to then generate "sense2vec"[5] at over 100,000 words per second using 4 threads.

Finally, and most importantly, spaCy compares to and remains competitive with state of the art results and all of it remains under an MIT license.

As you might have guessed, I'm a fan :)

Note: I was in the same NLP lab as Matthew Honnibal for my undergraduate so will admit positive bias ;) This was long before spaCy was a thing however - he was simply a fascinating and interesting guy for other reasons ^_^

So he make 5-10M Bonus? Is this a lot in Investment Banks?
( Absolutely no idea about their payscale. )
I had kind of a strange experience. While in college, I worked as a math tutor. Since I had taken one semester of stats, the tutoring center decided I was qualified to run a tutoring session for the non-calculus stats course. I was happy for the money, and had been reasonably successful with other tutoring assignments.

When we got to continuous distributions, we kind of hit a wall. Here's the puzzle. Suppose the data are recorded to two decimal places, and are reasonably bounded, for instance they are between 0 and 100. That's a discrete distribution. All of the data in the examples and problem sets were fixed-point.

I literally couldn't justify to someone who had never taken calculus, why a wholly different kind of distributions with its own collection of formulas, was necessary or useful. The teacher had never explained it either.
I agree that Tesla is using the term "autopilot" opportunistically to say the least. Whether the term accurately represents the feature they want to promote (imho technically it does, but more on that later) is becoming less relevant.

But I'd like to bring counter-argument to your points (a) and (b): taking away the autopilot feature from both airplanes and cars, an airplane pilot still has to undergo substantially more training than a car driver does, so imho the increased training for pilots compared to vehicle drivers is largely coming from the difficulty in controlling the machine and the more deadly consequence of control-loss to the driver / pilot and to the others.

That being said, the term autopilot is being used opportunistically. There's no way Tesla will back away from the term now, so the next best thing is to warn the user, in every step of the way, that "YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD IDIOT", to the point that if they can detect your hands not on the wheel a warning sounds.

I do believe the Tesla Autopilot and the autonomous mode in the future will save lives, what we're experiencing is the growing pain till we get there.

You don't have to buy into a law for it to exist and be enforced.

This comment provides even less to the conversation.
Isn't the first question to ask is ... why? Why certain industry will need to be disrupted and why it is considered a good thing? I didn't see any content creation industry has been disrupted, only the funnels/media are. There are just that many people on this planet can produce high quality music/movies/stories and even proven figures could lead to high profile failures. The risk is HIGH, and there isn't too much technology could do to improve that.
Theranos Company Statement Regarding Investor Lawsuit
No, you can also run Docker Windows Server containers on Windows 10. The easiest way to do this is to install the public beta version of Docker for Windows:

* https://github.com/docker/labs/blob/master/windows/windows-c...
* https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/release-notes/#/b...
So what?

I bet that usual 35+yr developer is a better developer than <25yr one. Company's task is to make money. Employee's task is to do the job and get paid for it. Where's "culture" here? Drinking beers, organizing parties, etc. is a waste of company's resources.
You're mistaken. There is no portrait mode on the 6S(+). It's not different. It appeared on the 7 first.
I contract for many large state and federal agencies.

For better or worse, contractors are easier to hire and fire for the federal government. That gives them more budgetary flexibility. You can also hire people and companies that specialize in the specifics of the project quickly through established contracting channels with established reputations.

Contractors are also able to legally bypass red tape and bureaucracy required of federal employees. For instance if I was directly employed by one of my clients i would be severely limited in the toolchain that I use and I wouldn't even be allowed admin access on my development machine (despite having it on multiple servers which are orders of magnitude more sensitive). If I was their employee, every time I needed to install a java update I'd have to call up IT sit on hold and explain to them exactly why I need to install this update etc.. I've had it literally take a week of futzing around with bizarre errors (from the crazy policy settings and restrictions on the laptop) on hold with some poor schmuck at a national level helpdesk four time zones away who has zero experience with programming trying to get a dev-enviornment set up on a government laptop which would have taken literally an hour on a computer I have local admin access on. I would rather be waterboarded than do that again. Contracting and having our own rules saves literally unending amounts of pointless bullshit. Many things would probably never get completed internally because of situations like this. Of course those contractor advantages cut both ways when considering security.

In OP's situation I'm not sure him being a contractor makes any difference. Either kind of employee can take a usb stick home and transfer stuff to a compromised PC. A contractor or employee may have gotten their clearance a long time ago and unless they have some kind of regular unannounced random inspection of their home you'd never know if they were a hoarder. And if they never caused or were involved in a security incident in the past there would probably be very little desire to bother shaking them down. I'd say problems in this category may be worse internally. I've met many husks of people in government positions who have been there for decades and are completely unemployable. What's worse is they can't be fired easily like a contractor so as long as they show up sober 9-5 they never leave.

Not saying it's a good situation. The contractor knowingly and clearly broke laws, policies, and rules. I annually have to take record keeping and security courses and quizzes to maintain access to the network. I am sure the contractor implicated here had much more stringent requirements than I have due to his clearance level. Thus this guy's screwed, his company is screwed too. legally too. Lord knows this guy can't pull strings at the DoJ to save his ass like some people from recent memory.
Unfortunately no, I don't have good evidence.

It's an instance of a more general intuition that excessive consumption of fiction distorts people's beliefs about the world. For example, at some point I saw a study that showed people who watched more TV tended to overestimate rates of violent crime significantly, but I can't find it now.

Anecdotally many people seem to think that human genetic engineering would create permanent class divisions, and they tend to refer to fiction, eg, Gattaca, when asserting this. But that doesn't really make sense. Any rational nation-state would subsidize it massively for the population once it was cheap enough.
No, you can also run Docker Windows Server containers on Windows 10. This means that the Docker daemon is running natively on Windows (either Windows 10 anniversary edition or 2016). Details here:

The advantage gained by welding advanced technologies is driven by exponential sales cycles. If we allow the government to continue their "back room" rationalizations, there will be a point our demand for more faster will come back and haunt us from a cost standpoint. With exponential advances in technology come several orders of magnitude more oversight capacity by a government who continues to make serious errors in calculations when doing things in secret.

The government isn't currently bad because people in it are bad. It's bad because our government has some bad ideas on what it means to govern successfully externally, in an age that is accelerating internal change in individuals. We want it better faster, too.

If we're going to continue to have government, the government needs to immediately become 90% more transparent and start setting the vision for us to do what we need to do to manage these changes.

And then I look at our current election and just shrug my shoulders.
interesting--as DFW fans know, FD was in fact DFW's favorite writer. ("Consider the Lobster" is the only DFW work i'm aware of in which he mentions this and discussed FD's influence on his own work.)
Right but portrait mode didn't exist before iPhone 7+ iOS 10.1. They didn't take away anything and then give it back, they simply added that new feature after the iphone7+ was released. It wasn't just a standard optical focus feature that the iPhones had previously. It is using software to identify the subject and blur the background to give the effect of a dslr camera when shooting a portrait photo with a low aperature setting.
The government has all sorts of pay guidelines on what people can make, which makes it near impossible for them to retain talent. Most of the NSA guys I know put in 18 or so months, then go to Booz Allen and get contracted right back to the department they left at 4x the pay (one guy even got his same desk back).

Every time someone points out the "why'd they give a clearance to X person" argument, I point out that there are close to a million people with security clearances. No screening system is perfect, but for something being ran by the government it is pretty damn good.
