I had a CT-30 with wifi module in my previous house. It was flawless. I have two CT-80s in my house now and so far I've only been able to get one of them to work with wifi. Support from this company is mostly "You didn't buy from us and don't have your receipt? Goodbye".

I really like their product when it works, but I'm having a hard time deciding if I want to put down the cash to buy a brand new unit from them so I have support or gamble on 3 ebay units and hope one works.

Obviously the fact that they can automate jobs with NO replacement now.

Previously we just shifted from the fields to the factories, and when that was done, to the offices and service industry.

If those are done too, there will be few, or no, replacements.

There's no contract we signed with the universe or the "laws of economy" that there will always be new jobs found to replace automated ones.
I highly doubt this is still the case considering auto manufacturers far behind the curve on this tech [1] are doing things like recognizing stop signs and reading speed limit signs using on-board cameras. Lane keeping also uses onboard sensors. As far as I know, the most important thing high-resolution maps are needed for is decision-making for things more than a few hundred feet ahead (ex. when to get in the right lane to exit or turn). It also helps with driving in adverse conditions where it's difficult to use normal sensors to see road markings. There are plenty of players working on this, though, so I don't think it's a huge obstacle. For example, [2].

The premise revolved around there being no copies of probably the most printed book on the planet, yet there other books. Even a collective, whose mission is to find all the books and knowledge it can (someone read Asimov), can't find a bible. They found a Torah, but couldn't find a bible.

You are also able to reduce your cost of living significantly by always having free time. Not having a car (or at least having one but using it rarely), not eating out (cooking yourself), growing your vegetables, doing home DIY stuff, not dressing formally to show off social status, etc.

Spending on these things pretty much comes together with being "employed".
> What's wrong with favouritism

Because "guy I like" isn't a meaningful qualification for a senior engineer. I like everyone on my team. They're not all senior engineers, and I wouldn't promote them all even if I could.

If you promote someone to senior just because you like them, not only are you doing a disservice to the company, you're doing a disservice to the engineer, because at some point you won't be their manager and they'll find themselves failing to actually work at a senior level.

> * If a person does his job well and helps you (the manager) do your job better AND you get along well - that's the silver bullet right there.*

If a person does his job well and helps you do your job better, whether you want to hang out with them seems pretty irrelevant. There is real value in interpersonal/social skills, but that's not at all the same as wanting buddies on your team. If you've got someone on your team that you don't like, but they do great work and work well with the rest of the team, they should be up for promotion before the person you do like who does mediocre work or doesn't work well with the rest of the team. Being a manager isn't about your personal wants.

> I am curious as to where you heard this. Modifying the stack in place seems like an implementation detail.

You are correct, but as the other reply mentioned, when we're talking about abstract specifications a stack typically doesn't allow reads and writes to arbitrary indices, therefore a stack machine can't perform an in-place swap. The implementation will almost certainly optimize the operation as you're describing, but I'd still expect to see a swap operation defined as "pop pop push push". Likewise I would usually expect to see an add described as popping two arguments and pushing one result, even thought the implementation probably pops one argument, then reads the second and overwrites it with the result.

In short, it's the abstract description of the thing vs the actual implementation.
You're grotesquely underestimating what fleet learning will do for traffic issues.

The way I see it (as a software engineer myself), is that each wreck that the AP did not prevent gets added as a test case in the AP unit tests that all have to pass. Also, each time a human wrecks, it could/will send the data to Tesla to continue simulations and ensure AP would not wreck in the same conditions.

How many of the wrecks, even fatal ones, essentially a different driver making the same mistake over and over? Likely millions. Real fleet learning would simply solve that problem once, and prevent thousands of fatalities as a result. As more and more AP capable cars hit the road, this simply will exponentially increase. Thirty years is laughable seeing how much computing has improved in merely the past 20. Maybe 5 tops assuming the legal hurdles are actually surmountable.

You're right, there is no point in arguing this. You gave an example of a file that was "impossible" to download with Edge and I told you how to do it. If you really need to type in the URL yourself, just type in into Notepad's open file dialog and save it from there.

It doesn't seem to be possible to download a file you already have open in Edge that you have no link to, but how often does that happen, really? I'm sure you can come up with lots of other scenarios that you can't do with Edge either, or Chrome.
That's fair and accurate.

Similarly, ensure spare room in the cabinet for adjustments, that thing you forgot, and small growth. Much better to have 70% full and not need the space then to have no free RU and need the space.
Besides, a transition that happened two times in the past so that people still needed for jobs (farmers -> factory workers, factories -> services) is by no means necessary to continue happening indefinitely.

Indeed, it is not explicit, but it is akin to a nuclear winter: soot everywhere that obscured the atmosphere, killing crops and making farming impossible.

Hiring Algorithms Are Not Neutral
CIA concludes Russia interfered to help Trump win election, say reports
From my analysis of London super prime ( I use two groupings £5-10m, £10m+ ), it appears that there is such a disconnect between this group and the "normal" London housing market, that they may as well be different countries.

In some sections of the housing market, lets say £1m, a devaluation appears to have a significant effect on properties beneath that valuation. The correlation is extremely high. In this bracket of buyers you have (well off) working professionals, lawyers, finance etc. Rich by almost everyones standards. Lots of them around means lots of competition for a certain stock of housing.

What you also have is high thousands of extremely rich people from around the world (particularly Russia, Saudi and other ME). London is a refuge for super high net worth individuals for a variety of reasons, culture, relative freedom, history, availability of beautiful mansions. The most important reasons probably being national stability (financial and security) as well as a comprehensive and enforced legal system. Not to mention, a subset of these buyers are parking money stolen from the people of their country. Try physically confiscating a 250 year old Mayfair townhouse! UK legal protections means a seizure of the property is unlikely/very difficult.

The property desired by this group as so disconnected from usual London housing that it is unlikely to have knock on effects if prices decline. This type of person is not going to downsize to 'normal' housing.

This is just something to bear in mind when reading reports on London property prices declining. The last year saw a single digit percentage drop in asking prices, except the majority of this was in the £10m+ plus range.

It's more the instigation of war I was arguing against rather than retaliation.

I certainly have - I just replaced my Nexus 6 with a Moto G4, which somehow seems faster with the exact same set of apps and prefs.

As an aside, having a phone that costs $150 is sort of amazing. It's removes the fetishism of "oh god, what if this breaks?" that I had with my iPhones and Nexii. It's a new and interesting feature that isn't discussed enough.
> You can't possibly know all the iotas someone else cares about. Please don't give into cheap attackiness here, especially not when mentioning a specific person.

Expanding on your point:

While it may be reasonable to extrapolate (provisionally) some of the iotas $NAME cares about in his role as an investor, care should be taken to avoid conflating $NAME-the-investor with $NAME-the-person, about whom there is probably less evidence from which to draw conclusions.

This is particularly important to keep in mind since, even though $NAME-the-person likely influences the behavior of $NAME-the-investor, there are very good reasons for $NAME to avoid signaling the extent of that influence.

So, like any other computer.

You only need ONE dongle, which can give you several USB 3.1, SD card, and other ports. And for most devices you don't need ANY dongle -- you just replace their existing USB-A cables (that you had to carry anyway) with USB-C cables (those go for $5 to $10).

>Or you realise you’re bankrupt

Then opt for something in your price range?
My suggestion is maybe not a tool that is ignored, but vast majority of its
options: /bin/ps from procps (Linux-specific).

I constantly see people blindly typing `ps aux', `ps eax', or `ps -Af' and
grepping through the results. This is stupid. ps has so many process
selection options, including command name (I regularly use -u, -C, -p, --ppid,
and -t).

The other aspect is its output formatting. Again, so many fields can be
chosen, fine-tuned for either ease of processing or displaying on the screen,
but people tend to stick to `x' or `-f' formats for no good reason at all,
relying instead on text processing after ps has done its job.
I recommend trying to be at peace with the worst case scenario. I.E. I used to worry about people stealing my things while I was asleep but then thought through how I would handle all my things being stolen and how hard it would be for someone to steal all my stuff (i.e. they can't take it all). Once I realised I only needed to replace a few key items which were quite affordable and relatively easy I stopped worrying about it.

Not sure if that works for everything but I'd figure the uncertainty is often why we worry. Realising that even in the worst case people will be able to muddle along can be a weight off one's mind.
Interesting how entities initially considered more or less as packaging stuff without much use, such as histones and telomeres, turn out to be a lot more than that. People, and investors, may tend to focus on the obviously active part of the code and to overlook the architecture.

^ I think this is it. App developers are taught to reflexively use the local db to store data, not files - but may not understand the difference performance characteristics of this db.

Tert has been shown to have non-canonical functions interacting with signaling pathways (wnt and nf-kb). It's easy to think of genes as a single function entity when the truth is a lot of genes have pleiotropic effects. The same can probably be said for other genes involved in telomere maintenance. It's probably more complicated than a simple correlation between length of telomere and resulting phenotype.
You do realize that you are quoting science from the Daily Express.
