For sure, people can see the potential of the interface and it just needs the hardware to catch up.

Which I think will look like:

- Inside-out head tracking (hololens and project tango)

- Dedicated VR GPUs (heat and power issues)

- Better resolution (4k per eye is getting close to desktop screen res)

Then phones will go into 'VR mode' as we're seeing today with daydream, so it essentially rolls out automatically and without additional spending from consumers.

All incremental improvements to really take it mainstream
A boomer I know bought a house right out of college. He graduated with a civil engineering degree. The house cost twice what his salary was as a brand new CE. The house is recognizable today as a standard split foyer.

College for me (in the 80s) was still fairly inexpensive compared to now, but when I graduated with an EE degree, houses started at 4x or more than what I made.

I see millenials taking higher risks with their housing. Instead of living in the burbs, they're in the city where they get the crime and no decent schools discount. I often see them head for the burbs after getting mugged or when they have kids that need to go to school. But by that time, they're more established and can afford it. Or, they live way out in the boonies and commute.

And now, even the good jobs are being offshored via H1B, paid for by our tax dollars.

There is no mention of purchasing power. My hunch is it's even worse than the 20% less income.
But that's an assumption that they shouldn't want to do that or shouldn't enjoy it. Maybe they did?
Yeah, PHP, .NET, and Java are always going to be king outside of the tech hubs. I'm saying that the niche that used to be occupied by Rails jobs is being/has been replaced by the niche now occupied by Node.js jobs.

Rails does not have the widespread appeal it used to -- it's not the hip new kid on the block like it was in 2005. At my employer, the people who handle Rails act like it's radioactive and are itching to replace it with more "modern" things.
1. How much power would we need? I'd assume a Thinkpad X230 won't do. If we need a moderately powerful system, do you provide AWS (or equivalent)?

2. I watch Siraj's videos. Although they are fun and useful, they are very short and resemble a recipe in a cookbook (no offense intended). Is the course going to be the same as videos? Or is it going to be discussing all the necessary mathematics/statistics?

3. I couldn't find detailed information about the instructors' background. Are they able answer questions from the deep learning book or Sutton&Barto, if one were to read them alongside the course?
I disagree. One reason, is that in a 6 or 9-handed game, most players will be folding 70-80% of the time. The AI will be able to understand players tendencies faster than heads-up. And in those games, the strategies and ranges are more predictable than heads-up.

It's much easier to determine the best strategy in a multi-way game than it is in a heads-up game.

Android has gotten bloated and has grown extra layers in part because it had to maintain compatibility, and in part because some development wasn't tightly integrated with the platform. It may be possible to develop a phone is that does all of what Android needs to do with a team of 40 and is much cleaner.

Especially if the alternative means making substantial modifications to Android.

Alternatively, one could build a dual stack Android, with one compatible UI stack and one built for the edge to edge UX.
> How would these 'trivial' steps look like if a telephone gets stolen

Just as 'trivial' as it is Facebook to swap your key at the request of a government. You should have to start from a blank slate (zero trust) in that situation.

Getting your phone stolen is an extraordinary event that warrants requesting some attention from your contacts, even if only to inform them of the old identity being compromised. And then you might as well have them verify a new key.
correlations are leads to spark further inquiry, they aren't explanatory in themselves. there is room for, and great need of, some imagination and speculation when trying to look for the truth.
Yeah, I think it's hilarious that most of these were "I am and/or was under 26 so I can freeload off my parents' employer-provided plan! Thanks Obama!"

The healthcare system is totally a disaster, and it really should be fixed, but giving college-aged kids a free pass for a few more years isn't really a solution.

That's referring to one specific piece of legislation. You're leaving out the core idea coming from Heritage (mostly true: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2010/apr/...) and the influence of Massachusetts's state system (https://www.google.com/amp/boston.cbslocal.com/2013/11/13/ro...) which was itself based on the same proposal (http://www.forbes.com/sites/theapothecary/2011/10/20/how-a-c...).

This was the Republican proposal until Obama took them up on it. Anyone who remembers poor Mitt Romney having to bend himself into logical contortions during the presidential campaign knows that: it was his signature achievement as governor, previously praised by many in his party when advocating against single-payer systems, and suddenly so politically incorrect within his own party that he felt obligated to attack it or invent incredibly fine distinctions to say the ACA was different.

Node:Rails is about 1.5 in London and 2.2 in the rest of the UK so, yes, Node seems to be more popular than Rails outside the capital. The complicating factor, however, may be the hiring culture in the Rails community. Because Ruby and Rails are so strong on community it may be that a lot more Rails vacancies are advertised informally. That's certainly been my experience.
> As I said, just consider the sparse information you get out of an EEG or FMRI and compare it to the vast information that make up your thoughts, memories, feelings etc. It's simple mathematics, it won't work unless you find a way to extract much more data non-invasively.

This reminds me of a study I just found where some researchers, as a thought experiment, tried to reverse engineer a 6502 MOS Tech CPU using the same techniques used in neuroscience. Their argument seems to be that if we can't even reverse engineer a totally known system with our tools, we can hardly claim to be able to reverse-engineer a system whose core 'design' we don't even really have a concept of:

>> those effects are so large that Starbucks habits are basically noise in comparison

Right, because spending $1500-2000/year on Starbucks and another $2000-$4000+/year on McDonald's and other takeout for 2-3 meals a day is "noise". Consumerism is a very real thing today. There are lower middle class people who blow $30-50 a day on Starbucks, energy drinks, going out for lunch, and ordering pizza for dinner. Throw in alcohol, cigarettes, and/or weed.

You can talk about wages and the price of a home all you want. Nobody 20-40 years ago threw 30-60%+ of their net pay away on daily impulse/routine purchases. Now it's extremely common.

For the pool of people who work 40+ hours a week, while not spending money on any of the stupid things listed above, who still find it hard to make ends meet - those are the people I sympathize with. However, even many people who claim to be wise with their spending like to think that their $7/day Starbucks is just a "small indulgence". $7/day * 5 work days a week * 50 weeks a year = $1750/year. Make it $9-10 dollars a day, for $2500/year, to add a muffin to your morning coffee.
> There's something amusingly arrogant about it. Almost as if every other country must be an absolute cesspit that could never have any lessons to offer, although I admit that other countries' universal healthcare systems have been effectively (but unfairly) demonized in U.S. political discourse.

Everyone understands the healthcare systems in Canada and most of Europe. There is no point mentioning it because for most of Republicans it's a non-starter. It's incredibly niece of you to think a bunch of liberals have never thought to look elsewhere, at best. At worst you wanted to just blanket insult the US.
Speak for yourself on that last one, buster.
Regarding the concern about health insurance being tied to an employer, it is important to consider why employers have historically been the source of health insurance in US. A primary reason is the higher marginal income tax rates, which makes it hard for companies to effectively reward valuable employees with heavily-taxed salaries. So the companies instead resort to providing non-salary benefits such as health insurance. If mid-to-high marginal tax rates weren't so high, then employees would be paid more in salary and could purchase insurance themselves so they aren't "locked-in" to their company for providing essential needs.

> The men that don't get jobs because of these new 50-50 splits, where do they work?

They only have their jobs because better-qualified people don't. So, they should do exactly what the better-qualified people are expected to do today: improve their skills, find another field, lean on their spouse for support, etc. If we don't think there are enough jobs for the population, a) changing the gender ratio of people who are employed doesn't make that problem worse, and b) that's a different conversation about UBI or whatever.

If we truly believe in a meritocracy, we're going to have to kick out incompetent people. There's no getting around that, and there's no getting around the fact that it's unjust to keep employing incompetent people and just to fire them.

> I support women, but I support men too.

I support women, and I support men too. I support qualified men, qualified women, and qualified everyone else having jobs they're qualified for. As far as I can tell, gender isn't correlated with job performance, and there seem to be about 50-50 men and women in the world.

The moment that you or anyone demonstrate a reason to believe (not even conclusive proof, just a plausible hypothesis) that men are over twice as likely to be good at technical jobs as women, I'll support a 70-30 split. Similarly, the moment anyone demonstrates a reason to believe that women are twice as likely to be good at technical jobs than men, I'll support a 70-30 split in the other direction. I haven't seen such a reasoning in either direction, so I support the null hypothesis, the 50-50 split.

Same with dock workers, honestly! But I'm not a dock worker and I know nothing about dock working and this isn't Dock Worker News, so I'm not going to comment about it. I hope the dock workers are trying to hire the best people, too!

If their automation prediction's error will be even a quarter as off as their cell phones', then we are not going to have enough people to have their jobs automated.

So a game that is alluding to an act is now outrageous? If the women were pressured into it, sure, but seems like more outraged internet citizens of the West snap judgment to me. The shaming of the women for apparently allowing themselves to be shamed is the most hypothetical stance.
Even if there are members of whatever sex you're interested in, I think that there is a general rule (official or unofficial) against getting involved (romantically/sexually) with others when you're in that sort of environment.

I'm riiight on the cusp; born in '82, graduated in 2000. My wife was born in '81, graduated in '99. We're definitely more millenial than GenX - my older siblings (born in '70, '72, '75) are total GenX'ers. The GenX'ers had computers as tweens/teens, so they definitely grew up as all this tech stuff was developing, but I've literally never lived in a house without a computer. Quite literally: my parents bought a ZX-81 for my older siblings the same week I was born.

We both have younger siblings who were born in '84 (graduated in high school 2002). They're the oldest of what I'd call "true millenials" - I think one of the big distinguishing things is that those who graduated after 2000 had Facebook in college, whereas I didn't. Sure, there was ICQ, IRC, various web forums, Myspace and Friendster and all that stuff, but it wasn't quite the same; those didn't have nearly the reach of Facebook, and most of the people I interacted with pre-facebook I didn't know IRL. I used Facebook to keep in touch with College friends after we all graduated and did the whole post-college-diaspora thing, but my brother and his friends used Facebook constantly as a key part of their social life.

Additionally, cell phones were much more prevalent for the "true millenials" - my brother and I both got cell phones in '03, and for him it was a core part of his college experience.

Hire only the best people, because being the best isn't correlated with gender? And actively recruit from balanced pools (paying attention to gender balance), which is very different from making hiring decisions based on gender? This is pretty straightforward if you're in fact committed to hiring only the best people.

If you have a sufficiently powerful/implementable automation method, any theoretical job they'd create by not being able to have it automated is just there until the time it takes for them (or for the job provider) to learn to have it automated, reaches.
The situation is not just unique to the US though: Many countries which had their industrial capacity reduced to rubble are still in the exact same boat: People that started working in the 50s 60s and 70s did a lot better comparatively than those that started after 2000. The 50s were far less happy in Europe than in the US, but there was just so much progress to be made that hit everyone. A big part of it was also population growth.

There's plenty of progress to be made in this decade, but a much smaller percentage of the population is part of this boom: Even for those of us that saw the dot com boom, tech is a picnic.

I look at the outcomes of people that went into science, for instance, and I see them against a wall of tenured professors that will not retire, and an industry that has less demand than there's supply. Those that just picked the wrong major in college are struggling, and those that didn't even go to college, even more so. The only ones ahead of their parents went to tech or got a career by using their connections as a stepping ladder: It's easy to do well in law when daddy makes you partner, stays a few more years and then retires.

As a society, we have to do our best to avoid becoming Brazil, and find ways to improve total outcomes. Having a small group of people that make a whole lot of money, and who give their advantage to the next generation, while a lot of people have worse outcomes than their parents is not exactly a recipe for a happy, peaceful society.
Insurance is a terrible model for health care. Everyone needs health care. Insurance only works when you have a large pool of persons paying premiums against an at-least-relatively unlikely risk. That might work for things like cancer, but it doesn't really work for anything else.

We should not have to have an insurance policy for a doctor check out that weird lump on our thigh or come in and spend 10 seconds pretending to talk to us before scribbling out a prescription for something that vaguely sounds appropriate and walking out.

Insurance is what distorts these markets. Patients need to pay doctors directly again. Real competition needs to be returned. Right now, the doctor inflates their bill 5x because they know the insurance is going to talk them down, the insurance talks them down because they know they're going to inflate the bill and not worry about it since it's an insurance company paying out, and round and round we go.

There's no reason the market for medical care needs to be different than the market for food, which is cheap and abundant. People often say that you can't can have an efficient medical marketplace because medical care is emergent, but that's usually not true; most medical care, like most meal times, can wait long enough to allow the patient to make a choice between competitors, and providers who charge more than the average demographic in their area can afford will go out of business.

The incentive to overcharge for emergent care is countered by the incentive to compete, which has already lead to many "urgent care centers" arising throughout the U.S. Good government regulations that prevent cartels from organizing and causing the markets to freeze up/fail can help. These regulations should include outlawing medical insurance.

Whatever the solution is, the current situation is an abject failure. ACA band-aids a couple of warts but it gave us new wounds in the process. Whole thing needs to be torn down and rebooted based on sound market principles.
The economic dynamics of human civilizations with billions of intelligent, autonomous individuals and rapidly changing technology are far more difficult to accurately understand and predict than long term climate trends.

Of course, this doesn't mean climate science is at all easy or that we have figured it all out.

WinUtilities Professional Edition Crack 13.21 License Key Free
I have to say this piece is really quite ridiculous.

Japanese workers who work longer hours DO make more.

This is because no one cares (primarily) about worker productivity - they care about being a "team player" & similar intangibles.

Most Japanese salaries are quite low at the beginning and for the early years, but increase over time until at the last part of your career with the company you are living nicely and prepared for retirement.

Team players are promoted. Non-team players are not.

So, for places outside the Japanese corporate world the idea of less hours == more pay may hold true, but in the situation they chose to highlight in the story that is completely wrong. There, you make more over your career by "butt in seat" time, and little else in most cases.
I'm very aware of the direction of VR/AR. Prior to my new line of work, I assisted corporations with invention mining in the head mounted display tech area. Despite having fairly intimate knowledge of the tech and what's currently unreleased prototype stage, I had minimal first hand experience.

Maybe mercurial MagicLeap is doing AR the right way.
