> You pay for the cost of government elementary schools even if you homeschool your kids.

Being a Floridian, we get a lot of retirees from other states (shocker, right?). A portion of these retirees don't like paying taxes for education. They say their kids are grown and they went to schools in other states, so why should they pay taxes for education?
I think we're talking across one another.

I had thought that in your original post you were agnostic about the methodology for identifying a car, but were remarking that, in a world where it's possible to do it using whatever form of classification, it would be possible to 'stump' any reliable model by modifying the appearance of a car. I'm observing that any model for classification almost certainly would not rely on aesthetics.

> You've just specified a manually hardcoded set of decision rules. This is not machine learning, and is incredibly brittle.

I'm pointing this out to illustrate that the technology already deployed to solve this problem does not get confused by aesthetics.

I've had that experience tons of times, where companies are happy to unsubscribe me if I just give them the account number that I don't have because I'm not their customer.

On the other hand, I was getting Allstate billing notices for someone else and I was surprised how well they handled it. When I called, they understood that I was a third party and apologized. They were able to look at a record of all the email sent and verify I had not received any sensitive information (only last 4 digits of account number, first name, and bill total). They removed my email address and said they would contact their customer immediately.

The only way they could have handled it better would have been following best practices and sending a verification link as their first email. :)
I tried to learn Japanese once, only for half a year.

I think it benefitted me, even if I didn't learn much.

It let me look a bit deeper into Japanese culture. The politeness is baked deeply into the language and the sheer amount of Kanji told me that a Japanese person has to constantly be on track to not forget even the most important ones.

On the other hand Japanese seemed antiquated. 3 sets of symbols and one of them has thousands of items. The gramma seems kina straight forward, but the sentences simply get too long fast.

I speak German and English, which aren't drastically different. But while learning Japanese I found out how different languages really can be.

English is a bit compacter than German, no "der/die/das", just "the". Most words are not capitalized, no compound words, etc. but English is A LOT compacter than Japanese.
Lets not forget, it is also a touch of the past: http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press_kits/2008/connecting...

(not claiming the two are similar in some way, just following the idea back to where it was born)

I remember when this laptop was being sold I considered it since was "small" for that time, but ended up buying something else since I didn't like the touch panel below the screen.
Donald Trump calls for ideas to make America great again

I'm not old enough (and certainly wasn't in a household wealthy enough to afford it at the time) to know what's going on with the Lisa, but there was nothing with the Apple Tv, or Magic Mouse. For those products, we're simply not the audience. I know plenty of casual mac users who were doing fine with those things. People in tech circles love to go on about Apple's mouse deficiencies but from my experience around casual computer users, PC users too, is that most people barely know about the second mouse button and the very concept of a "context menu" is alien to them. I keep having to remind my stepfather how to do things like copy and pasting in some apps because he always forgets about the context menu and even remembering something as simple as Ctrl+C + Ctrl+V is something he's not willing to do for a reason I can't even fathom myself, it literally makes no sense to me, it's just how it is.

So, from my point of view, Apple insistence on mostly forgetting about secondary functions on mouses is the right thing. The Magic mouse doesn't have a middle click? Most people don't even know how to right click. The only thing a mouse for casual users needs to do right, is left click and scrolling and the magic mouse has perfect touch scrolling.
For the same reason Apple has hidden functionality like Cut&Paste from the finder. You need to hold the option key to activate the "move item". Apple wants you to drag&drop instead. The "default" in Apple land has always been to serve the need of the common, not the expert. So there's no traditional CTRL+X CTRL+V. Instead you need to do CMD+C as if you were copying, then CMD+OPT+V to "move". Everything advanced tends to be hidden into OPT key. It also changes the behavior of various menus to show things Apple doesn't want to show to the commons.

The touchbar is actually a very, very clever thing, we're just not the audience once again. I firmly believe it will never have much use among professionals who have nothing against learning many keyboard shortcut combinations or who even do things like customizing them (Karabiner to the rescue!). The touchbar is for people who didn't even use the mouse right click, and who don't understand concepts like context menu that change based on, gasp, context. It's actually going to be a boon for these people. Even exposing basic functionality like copy paste is going to help average users be slightly more productive with their devices.

The only issue is the MBP audience having a lot of techies and audio/visual professionals. The touchbar would be more sensible on something like the iMac and Macbook.

Can we just stop the "Steve would never..." stupidity, please?

1: He's gone. It doesn't matter anymore.
2: We'll never know what he'd have done in this situation.

Seriously. Everyone keeps pinning every single mistake Apple does to Steves absence. Have people completely forgotten that Apple made mistakes with Steve at the helm as well?

There are too many to count, but in this specific case, it could be reasonable to compare to the original Apple TV. Also something which wasn't timed right at all, and was kind of a "meh" in hindsight. In fact I'm not sure their vision for TV has really arrived yet, even now.

What about the original iPhone? What we consider now to be an absolutely essential element for smartphones was not present in the original: (third-party) apps. I remember how many people complained about that.. I'm sure they would've blamed it on Steves absence if Apple did that now.
This is just the resulting network weights. While useful, I believe this alone wouldn't let someone reproduce the experiment as easily as having the dataset.
Run it backwards in inception mode? I wonder if it could generate porn, or what Gigeresque horrors would come out if somebody tried.
What we need not better debate, but better dogma. It shouldn't be necessary to argue that climate change is real every time the topic comes up. Just like we dogmatically accept that cigarettes cause cancer, we should dogmatically accept that climate change is happening and it's caused by us. The science that establishes this fact is far beyond anything that the general public should be expected to understand. I don't understand the first thing about lung cancer, yet it doesn't bother me to accept that cigarettes cause cancer. The general public needs to be comfortable accepting this fact without proof. The world is too complex for everyone to understand every issue.
I heard the incoming Vice President, Mike Pence, does not believe in evolution. In fact there's a video of him, admittedly a long while ago now, making a speech where he seems to not understand what the scientific meaning of "theory" is.

Are people not concerned about this at all? People in high positions ought to know basic things about how science functions, yet as the article points out, barely a word was said about science.

As a European, I think if someone went on a show like Question Time (a UK live debate show) and revealed they didn't believe in evolution, they would be finished in politics. And there would be even more mockery if they said they thought the earth was 6000 years old (though I don't know if Pence believes that).

TL;DR Millenials are turning 30.
You're misunderstanding the proposal about immigrants. The proposal is to send all immigrants that are here illegally back to where they came from.

For what it's worth, while I don't think Trump is likely to be even close to as draconian as his early rhetoric made it seem, it's worth noting that many of his supporters really are opposed to immigration in a much broader sense than merely legal or illegal. There's a very strong sense that the current philosophy of immigration + multiculturalism is out of control. Too many immigrants are coming in who do not share traditional American values and then are being encouraged NOT to assimilate by the progressive left; but to instead complain about oppression and racism.

My impression is that people just want this insane trend to STOP. Most don't want to see mass deportations. Most don't care about the finer points of what's illegal and what's not. They want someone to address the obvious threat to their culture and values.
That paper doesn't attempt to make a causal link. It's possible that being broke during the courtship process (when the ring is purchased) is what leads to a lasting marriage. I also can't find any discussion of the cost of the ring to the cost that could have been afforded. Is there a comparable outcome from someone who could easily afford a $10k ring but instead spends $1k vs someone who can only barely afford the $1k ring in the first place?
C++17 adds tuple unpacking under the name "structured bindings"

auto [a, b] = function_returning_pair();

Of course, tuple unpacking was already possible before if the variables were already declared:

int a, b;
std::tie(a, b) = function_returning_pair();
OT: I agree with some people here that the "girlfriend" part seems a bit condescending. I also think it was not meant that way. User IanCal here suggested some helpful tips to avoid that vibe, I think he is correct.
But to those attacking OP for this tiny bit of "un-PC-ness" in the title: Just stop. Go on with your day and don't read this if you don't like his style, or offer helpful feedback like IanCal.
I'll wager that this constant bombardment of PC enforcement created the sentiment that allowed Donald Trump to say the stupidest things in the world and feel like a breath of fresh air just because he didn't care about being PC.
I've worked mostly at smaller companies my whole career. Two years ago I joined a company with 4k employees, which merged with a 50k+ employee company. It's a very uncomfortable situation for me.

I absolutely hate how political and bureaucratic my current company is. It's so difficult to get anything done, because of the micromanagement and second-guessing for the sake of "collaboration." It's dreadfully slow. Nearly all management has family and kids; most of my direct coworkers don't. Two are engaged, one is married with two kids. I'm gay and am not planning to ever have kids. So I have a ton of free time in comparison to my straight coworkers.

My plan is to start my own company in a few years. I don't think I can tolerate an atmosphere where I can't set my own pace. I'm a pretty competitive person who likes quick results. I get the feeling I'm out of place in my current environment.
Yes, the inverted T arrangement makes it a lot easier to rest your fingers, or quickly find the correct key without looking when moving between the cursors and the other keys/touchpad.

The keys are already big enough, so it's not a strict improvement and even if bigger keys are better, why are the up/down ones less important than left/right? If anything I use up/down more, because I use them for both reading and writing, whereas left/right are almost exclusively for writing (would be more so were it not for the lack of consistent PgUp/PgDn shortcuts on OSX: these are sometimes bound to left/right and sometimes to up/down depending on the application).

Having used both types of key arrangement (and others) on various cheapy Windows laptops, I know that for me at least, the inverted-T (without extra keys crammed into the spaces) is absolutely essential to being maximally productive at the text-related tasks I spend 95% my time doing. I can adapt to a 3/4 size keyboard more effectively than I can adapt to a full-size one without the inverted-T.

But you said it yourself - the way to solve the externality is to forbid them from parking on the street. How is that so difficult? Rather than the government trying to plan the optimal amount of parking for every possible time and use and density, they can just say, "don't park on the street. Figure out your own parking requirements."

The touch bar is the type of gimmick that Apple loves though, because that's what sells hardware.

When OS X was released, the Dock was that gimmick. It added "curb appeal" and demoability according to Bruce Tognazzini, an ex-Apple employee who wrote the first five editions of the Apple Human Interface Guidelines - http://www.asktog.com/columns/044top10docksucks.html

Yes, we should. Not going to happen though because Rich Folk(tm) don't walk or ride buses.

Also, backticks are absent from some (many?) common non-qwerty keyboards (French azerty, for example), making them even more arcane / un-discoverable.
It's a bit complicated by the location where they must be built - essentially into the side of a 1-to-1 slope rocky hillside. At least that's what the government claims is the reason for the expense. It still seems a pretty tough number to swallow given that its capacity can only serve less than half a percent of the city's population, and probably will be restricted to only city employees.
Samsung to Buy Harman for $8B in Bold Autos Gambit
Fluent or just basic? Personally I think it's not worth it unless you really commit to trying to get fluent. I "learnt" Latin + French at school and it's basically useless knowledge that's drifted away in the years, I can barely understand even the most basic French now.

As for knowing it fluently, my Mum and various of her friends are all Dutch living in the UK. Many of them earned some money from it in some way, including:

- doing translations
- getting jobs in the local port because they were bilingual
- teaching night classes in the language
- emergency translator for customs

And that's Dutch, where even 20 years ago a lot of them spoke English fluently. It can be useful.

My friend's wife is a US Bulgarian who speaks French and got a grant from her uni to go to Bulgaria this summer to interview Bulgarian software companies (I think including Chaos/XCom maker Julian Gollop who lives there now).

Then again I know others who never use their 2nd or 3rd language.

Basically, it opens doors to experiences if you want to leverage it.

I'm at six natural languages now. I have worked in three of them and could immediately go to work in my field in a fourth. I could refresh the two others within weeks to a level where I could go to work in them, with some initial difficulties.

I would say that, to some extent, knowing several languages helps you with learning the next one. Not just if it has features that I already know from other languages, but also if it has new "WTF" aspects. Those become easier to accept.

What I mean is this. My last relocation was to France, for which I had to learn French. French has a bunch of things that make me go "WTF", but knowing that every language has such things makes it easier for me to shrug them off, accept that French is weird, and carry on. On the other hand, some other expats I know, who know fewer languages, question everything: Why does French do this or that? I have the feeling that some people get caught up in such issues and develop (or reinforce) an internal resistance to learning.

TLDR: Learning languages may make it easier to learn others by making you more accepting of weirdness.
Wow soapbox much? We get it, Linus is a big meanie.
Sometimes "using Coordinate = std::pair<int, int>;" does have upsides, though. One example would be when using a serialisation library that knows how to handle pairs. In that case you don't have to add (de-)serialisation code to every new class. It's also nice to be able to use std::tie for unpacking: "std::tie(x, y) = get_coords(blah);"

If you use the members a lot, a struct with named members really is much easier to read, though.
And you can also interchange `gmail` and `googlemail`, append `+anything` to alias.

It's a slippery slope though - forget worrying about remembering or managing passwords, you have to deal with variations of an email address too.

Further, email clients will reply from whatever address you used to setup the client. Maybe you can add aliases, but that will be time-consuming, and even where supported there's usually a single-digit limit. This can cause real headaches - e.g. "reply with `UNSUBSCRIBE` in the subject line to be removed from this list" and being unable to reply from the right email address.
I think your interpretation of the situation is a bit off. The 90% number, best I can tell, comes from a rather limited meta study which found the papers they tried to replicate had a low repoducablity rate. Note this doesn't immediately make them "junk" just adds another data point in support of the null hypothesis or in some cases points to the existence of confounding factors [0].

Looking at research literature at the single paper level is the realm of pulp science and media puff pieces. In terms of the larger field having a broad corpus to check your results against gives context to an experiment's result and makes it easier to weed out outliers.

It's my opinion that a funding system that ends up with more noise than ideal is still a better state than just giving the reins to the pundits of the world who make conclusions without even pretending to have any experimental foundation.

>Also Python is the poster child of what happens when you throw compatibility away.

And what, exactly, happened?

For years I avoided Python3. Updating my code base was a hassle I did not want to deal with.

Finally, a few months ago, I had some spare time and took the dive.

And nothing bad happened. I did not even spend hours on it. At this point, all the libraries I need exist for Python3, and the automated tools update my code for Python3 without manual intervention almost every time.
