I thought the same thing. It was a bit more subtle for me, but it prompted me to draw a sun, and when I first started drawing, it said "I see circle" but kept guessing, and with a few more lines it concluded, "I know, it's sun". Then a few drawings later I got circle, and in one second it said, "I know, it's circle".

At first I was thinking, how could it know this is a circle, but for the sun, it knew circle wasn't it when I had only drawn a circle. But it just occurred to me that the program probably tells it whether or not it's right before it actually verbalizes the guess/answer.

Then a few drawings after that, I got bus, and it guessed school-bus about 15 seconds in, and it wasn't until 10 seconds after that when it finally guessed just bus. So, I'm guessing this is the same for yours, it was simply guessing police car before car (probably because the NN takes probability into account and has gotten that as a right answer more often or something), and in your case it just happened to be right so it stopped guessing before it tried just "car."
That article reads a bit fake--there's pretty good evidence that people did indeed get paid to cause trouble at Trump rallies.

I'm more than a little bit concerned about the whole "We must stop fake news" bs--news has always been made up. Read about "Yellow Journalism" and how the US got into the Spanish-American war!

The answer to this kind of speech is more speech. If people want to make shit up and put it on the Internet that's fine. It's been happening since day 1 anyways. Did we not just witness the likes of NY Times, Washington Post, CNN, Fox, NBC, basically all US media pretend Hillary Clinton was in the lead of the election and had a 98% chance of winning? Fake news, indeed.
The complaint about gamification on that page is:

> gamified contexts such as foursquare might provide expected rewards for activities that do not adequately meet self-determination theory’s three innate needs for intrinsic motivation—relatedness, autonomy, and competence—and therefore reduce intrinsic interest in those activities.

The article kind of addresses this, discussing how you get someone interested with a long term narrative or goal rather than numbers. This would mitigate issues with autonomy and competence that are created in a numbers only environment.
Yeah my account was wiped without warning after what I suspect was an automatic app review that Google introduced in Play Store at that time. It was just a niche hobby app but damn, it's not like I was a free user. I paid for the dev account. Good thing I had a separate google account for that.

I had some sloppy ndk computer vision running there, maybe it triggered something? I have no idea really. It's not like you can appeal anywhere. I was very busy with other things and let it slide at the time. I got away with a very cheap lesson I guess
iPhone secretly sends call history to Apple even when iCloud backup switched off
Malformed data is a scalability problem. Unusual failure modes from coding problems to random bit flips become inevitable as the data volume approaches infinity.
This is a watershed moment for Google. Providing free email service was a way for them to get lots of data. The goal of course being to learn to massively scale computer networks, how to maintain them, back them up etc. Your data was the equivalent of 'cannon fodder' in their secret goal of controlling the world. Clearly, email has now become a burden. They can get orders of magnitude more data from the internet of things whose number now exceeds the human population on this planet. And all these things are talking to each other, sending data, etc. Our lives are inextricably dependent on these things - like automobiles, telephones, electricity, factories, etc- When google learns to optimize these networks, supply chains, distribution channels, etc. they will control the substrate on which we base our lives. People's behaviors, choices, values , etc will be manipulated without them even knowing it. Witness the first and most superficial attempt at this game - facebooks' 'fake news' campaign. Eventually, the AI that will inform these choices will be so complex that humans will not even know how to recognize it, let alone stop it.
Indeed Peroni, it's difficult to find and engage high talented people. But we are trying to solve another problem here. We want to optimize the time spent by hiring managers testing the potential candidates. When you have to test 15 candidates (1h per candidate) in a week, you need to take of production 1 technical person (most time a senior one). This is 15 hours per week. The biggest problem is when they look great on resume and during the interview you realize that is not so good as the resume stated. This is where we want to help.
There used to be a similar theme in the US, but it slowly disappeared from 1990-2010. Primarily because they are so rare they are now more of a quaint oddity more than a sign of driving competence.

The game theory on why manuals are disappearing is obvious. Drivers who can drive MT can also drive AT, but the reverse is not true.

I love MTs, but buying one means dealing with the following hassles:

1. Finding a dealership that actually has any MT cars. Let alone with the options I want. Often MTs are only available on stripped models or 60k sports cars. There are entire segments of vehicles where manuals are no longer offered. Full size truck with a manual? Nope.

2. Owning a car that only I can drive without becoming a driving instructor to whoever needs to borrow it.

3. Reselling the car when my needs change. I.E. Find someone who both wants the specific car I have, and also can drive an MT.

> And aren't "liberals" now pitching for unequal chances? Like, HRC should be President because she's a woman, affirmative action, get women into tech funds etc?

Your scope of the playing field is limited. Affirmative action is indeed unfair when you consider only the choice at hand. You have to back up and take in a larger scope. Minorities are frequently disadvantaged in many areas of their lives: they are born into poverty at a larger percentage than whites; they are policed with much less forgiveness; they are killed by police at a much higher rate, and must live with that fear at all times; their fathers are incarcerated at a much higher rate. The list goes on and on. Affirmative action is an attempt to give an advantage in important employment and education opportunities to make up for those disadvantages.

The e-brake in my automatic Volvo is shot, so my wife and I were practicing how to engine brake down from 50 km/h to a crawl. She was surprised that she was never made to learn this in driver's ed.
You pay $7/month to stay the same? Or any other improvement you want?
Please don't hold your cell phone or use text-based applications while driving at all, regardless of transmission.
Just what the previous commentor said: saves on wear and tear on the brake pads.

As for wear on the engine: the engine is actually designed to mesh with the transmission. Engine braking is not much different than accelerating.

When I first used Parallels years ago I was pretty surprised how close to native it could run Windows (though not 3D graphics intensive apps, as far as I can recall.)

I tried running it recently though and the performance was _abysmal_. Just unusable, taking 30 minutes just to boot into a Windows 10 machine. I can fully believe that the problem is with some major change in OSX or Windows or something, but I feel ripped off for having paid for it again.

(yes, I tried all the little hacks and tricks from the forums.)
Where can I read more about this? "Formal methods"? Being able to write proofs and tests/frameworking around things that I need to write would help me be more confident in what I do and also help me keep myself on track/not end up going down rabbit holes.

Why? By whom? Did you complain loudly?
For this thread I'm focusing on the claim that "Chavez tortured most of his opponents" and that he is supposedly comparable to Pot Pol (again a guy probably killed 1.6 human beings). These claims are ridiculous.

Reports about occasional police violence (can even happen in the US) and single cases of torture (not from a reputable source) are not enough for such a broad claim.
Agree and disagree.

Nobody reads these things. Ergo, nobody agrees to them.

Let's get it in front of a Jury. What do you want to bet that not one person in the Jury has ever read these incredibly one-sided, purposely obscure, usually incredibly long and complex agreements? Nobody. Not the Judge nor the Jury.

Not to get political, this is precisely one of those things that earned Democrats a defeat. Demeaning and diminishing others eventually has consequences. Being completely insensitive to the needs and plight of average folks. To hide behind EULAs crafted by the powerful, for the powerful and damn you little insignificant people is disgusting. To think so little about people and users that it is deemed OK to upend their lives instantly by a mindless, heartless algorithm.

This is the behavior of a mean vindictive totalitarian dictator, not of a business that purports to be guided by Democratic ideals and concepts such as "first do no evil". The hypocrisy is deep and wide.

Nah, a Jury would destroy them.

Politifact is infamous for their bias. Here’s an example of them rating the same exact statement very differently, depending on who made it:

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2015/jul/...

http://www.politifact.com/virginia/statements/2016/jun/20/do...

There are numerous studies that also show significant selection bias, that is they cherry-pick statements they fact-check.

Politifact itself makes no attempt to evaluate and correct for their own bias. The newspaper that runs it is liberal leaning, and has endorsed Hillary Clinton.

Because of the fact that Politifact tries to appear unbiased, their apparent bias is even more disappointing. Truly neutral fact-checking is something that would be very desirable. Perhaps the only way this will ever happen is by some sort of aggregation of left- and right-leaning “fact-checking.” Sort of like metacritic.
>And aren't "liberals" now pitching for unequal chances? Like, HRC should be President because she's a woman, affirmative action, get women into tech funds etc?

Saying this reveals a dire mis-understanding of access and opportunity in society. The reason those initiatives are needed is because of the extreme amount of inequality that currently exists.

Women would not need to be put into tech if they were already well there. Affirmative action would have no purpose if minority groups were properly represented.

These are initiatives fighting the status quo, which has an extreme bias towards men and white people. It is exactly the opposite of giving "unequal chances."
As pointed out in other comments Tesla actually uses AC induction machines (asynchronous AC) instead of brushless machines (synchronous AC). To a first approximation an AC induction machine can produce constant torque up to a fixed speed. Above this speed the torque falls off as approximately 1/speed.

You are right about the startup torque. AC induction machines can produce full breakdown torque at zero speed, but this does require high current (but luckily not high power because the applied voltage is still low due to low motor speed).

Another limit is the junction temperature of the power semiconductors in the inverter(s). I think Tesla uses liquid cooled inverters, but this typically means there isn't much mass to act as a heatsink (relying on the liquid coolant instead), so overload times are typically very short. I'd would guess this is actually the limit in their design. In other words they can put very high currents into the motor for a long period of time before it thermally overheats, but way before that time they have to reduce the current in order to protect the power semiconductors in the inverter.
UK parliament passed IPBill law
It's a moot point anyway
Agreed. All design award winners are of the same class: something that looks like it would work, but probably doesn't. It takes real effort to design working things; their construction reflects the real constraints on the design. If folded paper could absorb impact, that's what a real helmet would have in it.
Outlook is Down
You're saying you want to not allow X because of Y. When others point out that making Y the criteria allows disallows A, B and C, you argue those points away as not important; you still want to allow A, B and C. That's basically special pleading. My conclusion - and I assume the conclusion of the people arguing with you - is that Y can't be your real reason for disallowing X.

How about the way it was 18 months ago? I'd pay for that but not what it is today.
Brilliant answer :-). I totally agree with you. But this is the problem..you cannot implement such a thing to a tool like sysadminarena.

Actually I believe being a sysops/devops or whatever you want to call it is one of the "most" challenging jobs in the IT industry. You get zillions of technologies you have to administer and maintain but it's impossible to master all of them. What makes a good admin is the ability to learn,adapt,ask for a help and knowing where to look for an answer. It's easy to look up the parameters if you know the fundamentals.

Interviewing for me as a devops person is one of the most frustrating experiences. You are often asked questions that are specific to the environment of a company you are interviewing with. It's unbelievable how many times I've been asked about parameters of tar, du etc. It's totally stupid.
And imagine interviewing with a company that uses only a specific subset of technologies and they heavily emphasize on that.

> Then it's a failure in marketing, as the fire deparment doesn't market itself as "department for throwing water at houses".

Well, the fire department does tell people that they need to pay attention to things that might cause fires. The response isn't "well, people should pay attention to all dangerous things! What about car accidents?"

I mean, this isn't a difficult concept to grasp. When someone is raising money for orphans, people don't usually say "but what about money for veterans?" When people are raising awareness about breast cancer, you don't usually tell them "hey, we should be raising awareness for all cancer." They don't get angry that Smokey Bear focuses on forest fires ("Oh, house fires don't matter to you?").

People understand single-issue campaigns for most things, but some suddenly have an issue with it when it comes to African Americans deaths. This naturally raises a few eyebrows.

Not so simple. Until recently, a standard ICE couldn't stop injecting fuel while coasting (unless you turned the car off, which brings other problems...).

I remember when I was learning to drive being taught about engine braking (with an automatic) and the tradeoff between using up the brakes or burning fuel.

I'm not advocating for TOR by the way, it just strikes me that the instances where you would want a private browser are very likely the same instances where you don't want network intermediaries viewing your communications, no?

The "rational actor" is just a model, only applicable to limited situations, and acknowledged to be so. It's a specifiable model against which to test hypothoses. This rather shopworn critique - "humans aren't like idealized rational actors!" - is based on the implication that classical-type economists think that the model is fully congruent with reality. They don't! And furthermore, they wouldn't agree that "corporations" (hey, why not unincorporated entities too?) can form themselves in this way. They recognize the limitations of information, incomplete knowledge of preferences, and limited foresight and prediction - and these apply no less to groups of people as they do to individuals. If you tried to suggest in a classical-school economics environment that corporations can actually, in real life, form themselves into idealized rational actors, you'd probably give them gut-busting laughing fits.
People always do this. No you don't want to, don't try and be a User-Hero. And if for some insane reason you do want to, implementing and supporting it would cost more than they would ever take in revenue because no one else wants to pay apart from companies who then get preferential treatment.
I'll respectfully beg to differ. At the beginning of the US war in Afghanistan (at the time I was a US Army UAV "drone" pilot in training), for the first 48 hours, a Tomahawk cruise missile was fired, on average, every 12 seconds. They were firing at all kinds of things up to an including caves! I think that would qualify as firing everything you've got at little outposts.

I think ultimately it depends on the situation and the resolve of the aggressor to take you out. After 9/11, the US went balls to the walls with conventional military.
