"RV parks are usually just full of retirees, and they are also expensive ($100/night+ for the centrally located ones in cities)."

I have never paid more than $100/night for an RV park, including in the most expensive cities in the country (Los Angeles and San Diego are in the stratospheric range of ~$70/night). Sure, there are "luxury" RV parks that are a bit more expensive, but the usual nightly rate is somewhere in the $30-$50 range. Weekly and monthly rates are much cheaper.

Boondocking is great, and there's tons of great options, particularly in the west. But, you don't have to do that, if you like having hookups. It's possible to live month-to-month in some great cities for $300-$600 per month. I have spent as much as $1650 for a month in an RV park (again, LA and San Diego), and I've skipped staying in RV parks in some cities because they're so expensive (Silicon Valley falls into this category).

"A classic, well build RV might be a better bet."

Yes, that's usually my recommendation, when I'm advising people. There have been well-constructed RVs in every era since the 70s, but newer ones are very expensive. If you have some tolerance for, or enthusiasm for, doing DIY repairs, an old, high end, RV can be a good value.

I've owned a motorhome and a travel trailer. I preferred the motorhome, but wouldn't have known it until I tried both...even having spent years in the motorhome. Now, I'm a year into living in the travel trailer, and have plans to get back into a motorhome, eventually. Motorhomes are a bigger initial investment and cost more to maintain, so, maybe not the best first choice for someone just starting.
What does "you can afford" mean?

Presumably that your monthly loan payments (and routine maintenance costs and bills) should be a small enough portion of your income that you can cover your day-to-day living expenses and still have a financial safety net.

Why are you comparing 'Nokia sells Windows phones' (happened) with 'Nokia sells Android phones' (<-- I don't get this).

Whenever I see someone complain about the new directions, the focus on Windows phones I think of Maemo as the worthy alternative, not Android.

Now, even as a Maemo fan (still wearing the t-shirts to prove it) I still understand that a completely different system might've been .. difficult and/or scary. But for me that system was a differentiating factor, something other than 'another Android'.

Dynamic vision sensor is a novel type of imaging sensor.

"Regular" image sensors output a 2D image where each pixel encodes light intensity. Dynamic vision sensor outputs pixel-level changes in the scene.

For dynamic applications you usually are only concerned about the changes in image (e.g. object tracking, robotic navigation). An image sensor which only outputs changes reduces image processing requirements considerably!

Example: 640x480 greyscale image at 120FPS is about 35MiB/s of data. If the scene is static, all the computation cycles are wasted just to find out there is nothing new in a frame. That is rather heavy load for tablet/cellphone class processors which are usually found in embedded devices!

Okay, but how does that translate into policy?

Fact 1: Education in the US is very expensive, in large part because the ready availability of loans removes most downwards pressure on prices.

Fact 2: If you are loaned money to obtain a degree which is not economically valued then you will not be able to pay it back.

Fact 3: If you loan people money without expecting people to pay it back, then it's not a loan, it's a grant.

Fact 4: If you offer grants to high school graduates to take non-economically values classes, a lot of them will do so. This pushes up the cost of the education, and pushes down the wages graduates will make, excerbating the problem.

> For that reason these fields absolutely should be subsidised

Perhaps. But in which case by how much, by whom, and in what fashion? Because offhand offering free arts degrees sounds like one of the worst possible ways you could subsidise art as a field, and one of the best ways you can cause a lot of harm to young people while enriching the existing education institutions and not really advancing art at all.

Mind you...

> otherwise art becomes about marketing, journalism becomes about propaganda, and science becomes about start-ups...

Artists, journalists, and scientists have always had to earn a living. To the best of my knowledge, there was no "golden age". We've never subsidized artists (or scientists, or journalists) in the way you say we should; the future you're afraid of "becoming" is our present and past.

The gist of the article is not that fake news is not the problem, but that people have lost faith in all media, including mainstream media.

> The problem, Binkowski believes, is that the public has lost faith in the media broadly — therefore no media outlet is considered credible any longer.

So basically, now, people give about as much credence to an established media article as to a social media article - which is a good thing in my opinion, given that established media are no longer vetting their sources as they should, are hypocritical about their opinions, and are instead giving in to the biases that they hold in their own echo chambers. Social media simply provides an alternative, equally biased opinion from the opposite end.

I would have kept playing it if it didn't implement perlin noise, and while it wouldn't be as popular I don't know if it was crucial to its success.

> I had no idea where to start interpreting the notation other than maybe attending a class to get the proper starter culture.

More than anything, I think this is the main reason why studying many subfield of mathematics is so difficult, when we spend more time and effort in things like parsing instead of in the actual subject matter.

Even popular subjects may show similar problems. For example, in Sedgewick's Analysis of Algorithms, he gives the following common definition:

> O(f(N)) denotes the set of all g(N)....

In the next page, he presents an exercise:

> Show that f(N) = N lg N + O(N) implies f(N) = ϴ(N log N)

Reader looks at that "N lg N + O(N)" and tries to make sense of the addition of a number to a set of functions. Note, this is in page 5, so many readers unfamiliar with the culture of the area are likely to just abandon the book (and perhaps the study of the subject) as they could not translate to themselves the very first formula presented by the author.

The only clue to anything that could help the newbie to get some answers lies in a couple of references that point to the historical uses of these greek symbols for computational complexity. Within that reference [1], by no other than Knuth, one can find the explanation for such syntax:

> "1+O(n^-1) " can be taken to mean the set of all functions of the form 1+g(n), where |g(n)| < Cn^-1 for some C and all large n.

And then he goes on about the problem of that syntax in respect to one-way equality:

> we write 1+O(n^-1) = O(1) but not O(1) = 1+O(n^-1). The equal sign here really means ⊆ "set inclusion", and this has bothered many people who propose that we not be allowed to use the = sign in this context. My feeling is that we should continue to use one-way equality together with O-notations since it has been common practice of thousands of mathematicians for so many years now, and since we understand the meaning of our existing notation sufficiently well.

The above is not only a reason for logicians to laugh at the pretense that mathematical language is formal, but also an example of things that are likely not to be in books but in an unwritten culture of a field.

Because i suspect what is wanted is not a subscription but "for the day" payment, much like with a physical newspaper or magazine.

> so that the fortnightly pay run ends on an even hourly number

How isn't that already the case with 10 x 8 hour days? or 8.5 etc?

Your linked article mentions another interesting idea: that an additional 9 minutes a day is more than 5 days a year.

I used to work for a medium sized company (~500 staff) that made us all work 10 extra minutes each day "off the clock", but then gave it back in the form of a number of whole and half days throughout the year when the company would be closed for business. Usually that meant that we'd get an extra day off before a long weekend or bank holiday, an additional day before christmas, that sort of thing. This was on top of 33 days of paid annual leave, so a sweet deal.

Kohli’s Perspective on “Big Fat Indian Weddings” – Crossahead Blog
I generally agree with you, but C even at it's nicest is not "high level" except in the trivial sense of being having a recursive grammar (which assembly doesn't have).

The whole advantage of C is that it is a powerful, nice, and portable way to express roughly the same things you would otherwise express in assembly. Most of the really nasty undefined behaviour of modern compilers comes from forgetting this.

I don't think it's correct to blame the technology choice on the failure of some apps, as the author does, talking about percentage of revenues and user retention. Every technology has it's own pros and cons and with adequate investment in R&D can be applied to achieve very good UX. More likely, the success rate has business reasons, not technology ones - how the development was organized, what was the business model, how much time did the team spend on UX design etc.

That said, what are the real benefits of PWAs, which by design are not fully compliant with platform best practices? That's the question that I'd like to get an answer to, including the comparison of installation success rates, not just exposure of user failures to install native app.

I myself have chosen Ionic/Cordova as reasonable trade-off between the speed of cross-platform development and quality, but eventually I'd like to convert my app to the native to get the best UX on each platform.
I would not put Ethereum in that camp. May have issues but it is hard core computer science.

AMD has been trying to find a synergy between CPUs and GPUs for over a decade. Heck they were the ones who bought ATI! They've been unable to deliver because "a synergy" between GPU and CPU doesn't mean very much.

In the best case, the architecture will be able to avoid memory copies, but although inconvenient, existing applications have been able to pipeline host-device/device-host memory copies, effectively negating the problem.

Even on this limited promise, AMD hasn't been able to deliver.

Sagan's warning in "The Demon-Haunted World"[1]:

I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time --
when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all
the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome
technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing
the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the
ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority;
when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our
critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good
and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition
and darkness...

Until the public has a "baloney detection kit"[2] (and uses it regularly), trying to convince them to follow "The Truth" instead of the latest scam or wishful thinking is a waste of time.

How to Develop a Web Based Employee Scheduling Software?
Has there been extensive research or trials of corporate sponsorship (or are there any startups exploring this idea)? There are probably some principal/agent issues but by and large why can't Google sponsor some CS students and they sign a 4 year deal with them in return (somewhat similar to sports?).
In some fields, big corporations already compete for talent, why not start the competition a level earlier (internships could be integrated as well).

I can think of a lot of problems and reasons why this won't work...which makes it interesting :)
Apart from "won't work for not highly competitive degrees" and "figuring out who to sponsor is as hard or harder than just hiring" and "how do you grantee the people actually stay with the company and are motivated" there's probably a lot more. I think the principle of reciprocality can make it work in principle though.
It probably won't affect 8/16 GB people. Since the RAM are soldered, each config will be a different board, so they can keep existing 16GB config, and offer a 32GB config with DDR4 + required controllers, etc.

Got to say: I can't really think of a better way to solve trust problems in a peer-to-peer lending platform between strangers. You could use monetary collateral but if people could do that they wouldn't need to borrow in the first place.

Other options include legal contracts but then again, the kinds of people who accept these loans wouldn't be approved for a regular loan and hence suing them is unlikely to be cost effective. That really only leaves the threat of violence and most small time lenders aren't going to have the resources to do that.

Still, I am surprised that anyone would agree to do this. The deal to me seems incredibly one-sided since you're still having to trust that the other person will go through with the loan -after- you give them the collateral - and that's a huge risk in my opinion. The protocol here could be improved by using an escrow agent but once again that does not completely eliminate trust.

The problem is what to pay for and how. The WSJ may aggressively wish I were a paying subscriber, but I only read a handful of their articles, so that's never going to happen. I get news from all over the Internet, often because it gets posted here. Microtransactions might work, but have never taken off.

I would happily pay for an all-you-can-eat, ad-free subscription model, just as I'm happy to pay for Spotify. But it has to cover all the content I actually read, which in effect means hundreds of tiny specialist blogs and major publications like WSJ.

Unfortunately such a subscription model doesn't exist. And very few businesses are in a position to create it. Perhaps Google could, by offering a no-ads subscription across their adwords networ. They are unlikely to ever offer this though, because it would cannabalise their existing, highly profitable ad business. Hardly anyone else would have the necessary traction to make it work.
