"Our vision is to create technology that makes life better for everyone, everywhere — every person, every organization, and every community around the globe.

Interestingly, 'clandestine' doesn't seem to be defined in US law; Black's law dictionary defines it as 'secret or concealed, especially for illegal or unauthorized purposes.' The law does ban such activities conducted 'on behalf of a foreign power,' which latter definition is so wide in scope as to encompass all sorts of people who might never have considered themselves to be such.

Simply having too high a degree of curiosity about certain parties and gathering publicly available data could easily be made to qualify in the hands of a creative prosecutor (and I anticipate prosecutions getting a lot less rigorous and a lot more creative in many jurisdictions real soon now).

Of course they could still lie but you can't be investigated just for your protected speech.

I'm not sure that curating a lot of information - a private library, if you like - constitutes a speech act per se.

Suppose, for example, that I wished to dominate the market for some collectible item and assembled a large volume of information on the market and its participants, but chose not to publish or advertise its existence so as not to tip my hand to competitors in that collectors' market. I would, by definition, be engaged in a sort of clandestine intelligence activity - albeit a wholly harmless one. I'm really not sure if the collection of such information is protected by the 1A.

You'd think so, but I can think of many persuasive arguments to the contrary. There's no federal law explicitly protecting the privacy of journalistic sources, for example, so it's possible that the act of publication itself might be considered a prerequisite to a 1A defense. I hope I'm overthinking this but it does seem to be a bit of a legal hot potato.

Most processors only let compilers give a hint of strongly taken or strongly not-taken. I don't have any numbers which show regressions, but a NN should be able to take the compilers hint.
> It doesn't want that capital expenditure.

Ah, but the car companies have already expended that capital. The problem here is they will have a lot of building capacity from all the factories they own, and possibly less to build with that capacity. There's nothing stopping them from buying extra needed capacity from another company, but in the meantime it may help them fill the lack of utilization they may see. At some point, some factories will need modernization as normal, and they can choose at that point to reduce factory capacity.

The point is that it's a possible strategy to get them from point A to point B when they've already banked heavily on certain future production trends if they've overestimated.

I hope you're right. I fear that they will continue to sleep.
Most specs I encounter have seriously flawed implementations in the wild. This is regardless of the quality of the spec.

Here's a short-list off the top of my head of tech with specs and horrific offenders in the wild, including many popular implementors.

* Telnet

* VT-XXX, i.e. VT-100 or any term spec for that matter

* MIDI

* MKV, AVI, etc.

* GIF, JPEG

* A huge amount of tech in any browser

* SAUCE

* ANSI escape parsers/writers/sequences

* LZH/LHA

* Open Document Format

* XMP

* MAPI

* POP, IMAP

As I think of this, I realize I'll be typing all night. In some cases, the implementors all adopt things from the most popular implementors even if they are historical. In other cases, things just don't work or break in awesome ways. Zip bombs were mentioned, but there are plenty of awesome things.

I'll finish by saying I wonder if many authors of anything related to terminals even ever bother to read specs or care. Over the years I've started to wonder how some of these things even work in the wild, but the answer is most people don't notice what actually isn't working, while anyone who needs to care has to draw from what become unofficial new specs.
I've almost never seen a programmer in SV whose job duties and pay mean they fall under FLSA. What are you referring to? Maybe a student programmer, I guess.

The connection to ownership works for things you operate. If I do my own laundry I want a nice washing machine, and I'll shop for one, upgrade on features, etc. Same for kitchen knives.

I have a maid who does my laundry so I don't care about my washing machine anymore. I still cook so I want good knives, but if my maid were to start cooking I'd stop caring.

I don't own a car, but sometimes I rent one. And when I do I almost always pay 2-3x for a sports car because it's fun.

When I use Uber, I never pay for the upgrade to a nicer car. I'm just going to read or fiddle with my phone, so I don't care about the car at all.

I predict the exact same behavior for autonomous cars. And why would I pay $25k for a car when I can get the same thing for $1 a ride (and not have to worry about parking or maintenance or upgrades to new models).

* Learn how to learn.

* Admit when you don't know something and then rectify it (if it's interesting to you).

* A stable solution is better than the bleeding-edge solution.

* Smaller (simpler) is better. (KISS)

* Learn how to gauge technical ability in a conversation with someone and compensate for that on the fly. Non-techies will love you.

* 80hr weeks will not make the company love you. They will only make everyone else in your life dislike you. And eventually, the people at the company.

* Shop around. You don't have to take the job offers but keep interviewing. You learn as much about yourself as they learn about you.

* Find a problem-space you love and develop it. Tech is tech but business is business. Finding an area that you like to solve tech problems in will make you happy.

* Don't make technical arguments personal. Make your point, with facts, let them make theirs. Agree if you're wrong.
Just a quick resources-share (since this is turning into a thread that is complaining about earpods): These headphones (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ELYQJI/ref=oh_aui_sear...) might be my favorite headphones EVER.

The sound is good (at least as good as I've ever heard from earbuds), they're cheap, but most importantly, they TWIST into your ears instead of simply pressing.

This emulates what you'll find in really high end, custom-fit earplugs.

They absolutely will not fall out unless you PULL them out.
It also has super narrow bezels. Which seems minor, but for some reason, I really like it.
I started a new job, and needed something for when I work from home. I had the 27" version of this in the office, and it was so awesome, I got the 24" variety for home without really looking around, because the 27" was so nice. I don't regret it all.
I'll put in a vote for Zhuyin:

- more consistent (no confusing between the two sounds for "u" for example).

- better IMEs - you can filter characters by tone, impossible to do with Google Pinyin for example.

- can be used to type Simplified and Traditional

- no interference/preconceptions from other languages written in the latin alphabet.

Leaving them in your ears all day might not be a good idea from health and hygiene perspective.
However, your statement is actually vague and ambiguous.

"Extra neurons"? Input layer? Output layer? Just before a final, fully-connected layer? Somewhere in between?

"Everything it already knows"? What does it know? Character probabilities, like a charnn? Image categories like in a CNN? Input distributions, like a GAN?

From the abstract, I can immediately tell that this paper is about modifying deep auto-encoders in the hidden layers. From that, I can immediately understand that the paper is not about adapting to new input formats or output formats, but instead about inputs from a new distribution but in the same format.

The author's intended audience, researchers and academics, do talk like this. They do so because it is quickly understandable and actually information dense, as indicated in my above paragraph.
I'm aware of what you have to write in JS, and I'd argue that that's the behavior that's to be expected. I'm actually more surprised by Python's behavior here. Lua works the same way JS does, as does Common Lisp.

The data was corrupted on storage. It was lost. Then when switching over to the backup hardware it got corrupted too.

No taxpayer's private data was compromised though, since third parties can not compromise the data because it is corrupted.
I think an apt analogy for the transition towards wireless audio is that of desktop to mobile computing. In the same way that mobile isn't an end-all to desktop computing for professionals, wireless headphones aren't meant as a replacement for everyone, such as audiophiles.

That said, I've personally tried a half-dozen wireless headphones over the past few months. I strongly feel that the technology has progressed to where the tradeoffs of battery life and sound quality are minimal for the general consumer.

Right now, price is probably the limiting factor in adoption. However, as the price decreases over the next 3 years, I think you'll find that wireless will become the primary means of audio consumption for the average Joe.
I wasn't expecting it to compete with the higher level I7, or ANY I7.

hopefully this puts AMD into a position to capture the enthusiast PC market, which Intel has been stagnating on for generations now.

Even the new 7700k there's almost no performance bump from the 6700k, which isn't all that great itself from the upper end I7s from previous generations.

Yes, presumably they meant cruel as in merciless or unforgiving (which is acceptable usage). This is a constant in everything from documentaries like the last train home or the biggest chinese resturant in the world and even a theme in major movies like aftershock.

People say that China is 10 years in the future and 10 years in the past, but in many ways it's 50 years both ways.

The new android-auto app for your phone can do exactly this.

It overlays a nice "car UI" that's much larger and easier to not only see but also hit while driving, and basically only has phone, maps, and music.

It hides all other notifications, it "silences" other sounds, and there's a setting to optionally run the app once you connect to a specific bluetooth device.

I'm pretty happy with it.
"Given AMD's recent poor track record in terms of $$$/performance for desktop CPUs..."

Are you kidding or did you mistype? Current AMD processors don't generally compare favorably to Intel with respect to some metrics, like absolute performance per core or performance per Watt. However if there is any metric where they match or surpass Intel, it's actually perf/$.

The reason is simple: perf/$ is the only metric where AMD has some control: they can decide to lower and lower their price down to wherever they need to be. If AMD wasn't competitive on at least perf/$ they would be in a much worse situation.

Here is one example I witnessed first hand recently when doing some video work: a good old $100 3.2 GHz 8-core Phenom matches or surpasses most ~$200 Intel processors when encoding MPEG2 files to H.264 with the Linux x264 encoder.
