Someone else may be better at explaining the differences than me, as neither are my area of expertise. My understanding is that they both provide a view layer, and Titanium provides more of an everything-included framework so you don't have to touch any native code. With React, it provides an easy to use view layer that helps you create compositions of components and layouts, but it's expected at some point you'll want/need to build things in native code. It's also expected that the overall architecture of the app to be provided by the developer. This gives more flexibility to break out of React or add it to existing projects where its helpful.

Without having more experience with Titanium, its hard for me to say if you can use ReactNative along side it, but my gut says they probably have a different way of doing things.
The renewal is the same, follow the steps and you get a new cert. Keep the Account key and the CSR, so it's just a matter of copy-pasting. If they charge an installation fee again, you're probably better off paying for cert that lasts longer (not from Let's Encrypt) - you can get one that lasts three years for $15. Or just switch hosting providers :)
I'm not sure what year I read that, or what article it was in, but after some cursory searching, in 2014, the recovery rate was 103-111%. Recovery rates are much higher in student loans because they cannot be discharged. So 120% is certainly not out of the question some years.

> And I completely disagree with your first statement. I would imagine that almost every adult recognises the Rolex brand. Sure, people might not recognise a Submariner from a distance as being a Rolex, or a Rolex design, but everybody knows the name. Whereas, on the other hand, almost nobody would even know the name Philippe Patek. But then, that's their marketing strategy.

And I completely disagree with your statement. If you are at least a bit into the watches, you know Patek very well.

The part about everybody-recognizes-rolex - well that ain't true either. Over 90% of blue collar workers would see some bigger watch, that's it. Most of my colleagues wouldn't recognize them, and I am talking about private bank in Geneva, home of Rolex (and Patek).
Here, I'll be more specific for you since you seem to lack imagination.

Candidate in SF district declares run for CA state senate with most issues already set, either as a democrat or republican. Every SF resident gets access to an app and a vote on certain key issues. So issue of affordable housing and zoning laws comes up, constituents get to discuss and make arguments for each side amongst eachother. Maybe for this issue, they also get to vote, which will set this person's vote on the senate floor. Regardless, everyone else can publicly see the district's discussions, leanings, etc.

Maybe there's a way for constituents to propose new topics or referendums, or that only the top contributors or people with 'points' get to do so. Maybe points are earned through verifiable volunteer work, maybe through donation. Maybe it uses analysis of what everyone's discussing already on the site to put new issues on the table.

Maybe this starts at a small local level until you can prove with enough of a track record that this works better than current politicians. If it grows, it can become president.

The point is, we developed representation as a heuristic for networks, transparency, and access. We have the technology for those things today.

Direct democracy has some problems:

a) Politics is usually not a "yes" and "no" to individual questions, you have to have a consistent set of answers that e.g. balances the budget. Of you vote on each post individually you would just get huge costs and no income.

Perhaps taking the average across lots of complete budgets would kinda work. It could also fail to have a strategy though (fall in a minimum beween two local maxima).

b)
Also I would much rather that someone who is paid to work in politics fulltime vote on some questions. The populace cannot educate themselves on every single issue.

So typically idiots who think the world is simple and answers obvious go and confidently vote, while the educated reflected crowd who say "I don't know" until they have thoroughly studied the issue stay at home?

One could have popular votes on individual hot topics though. See Brexit..

Hi all. This is v2.0 of my HERO Keyboard. It's been completely re-coded for better typing action, and it adds the center "Bolt" button which you tap for SPACE, or hold (or 3D touch) to reveal numbers and your most recent emojis and symbols. On iPhone 6/7 and Plus, tilting the device moves the keyboard to the side for easier 1-thumb typing.

It's free for basic typing, with a $0.99/month subscription for premium themes and full emoji, dialpad, and symbol views. This is a self-funded project but I'm a designer not programmer, so I paid contract developers to build it. So basically, I'm out of money, and I'm hoping the v2 launch goes well enough to fund development of swipe typing, Android, GIPHY integration, text snippets, other languages, and any other helpful stuff I can think of! :) Marketing is definitely not my strength, so please let me know if you have any advice for me to help spread the idea. Thanks!

Have you already looked at the pickled data? Because it looks like the model is outputting a single label value out of 256 labels; depending on the training data (steering angle) and how it is represented in the data (signed float or integer?), each one of those 256 learned should (?) be similar - I think.

Again, I'm not an expert. Or - maybe it is outputting a number 0-255, and then taking that number and converting it (and maybe other operations) into values suitable for the servo on the car (perhaps centered around 0 - so -128 to 127 or something like that - then scaled for servo PPM width or whatever values needed)...

All guesses, of course.
i'd probably google for the algorithm, not particularly SO but anything similar in another language.

maybe read up on directed graphs and come with the algorithm by hand.

then write tests and try and pass them while i wrote the algorithm.

She was running on a campaign of starting a war with Russia. If you see sending mostly poor folks from cities and the Bible Belt over to die in Syria or wherever as being 'nothing' then I have no problem stirring that up.

We certainly shouldn't condone Trump's comments about women. But if you think his comments magically erase, say, the Clinton's role in the HIV epidemic then I think you're drinking the Kool-Aid. So yeah, I protested Trump, and if Clinton had won I'd be protesting her also.
I don't think 'incredibly toxic' is the best word for a smell most people are familiar with.

Face to face interactions are often orders of magnitude more efficient than textual interactions, which is particularly important during highly collaborative activities. Really, even face-to-face is the wrong description, since it implies something like video conferencing can be used as a substitute: human-to-human interaction might be better. Body language, the ability to recognize when a conversation is not making progress or a point is generally accepted and can be set aside, trust building, humanization of The Other, etc.

I couldn't agree more. Breaking objectives/goals in small tasks, and then transforming such small tasks in habits works very well for me.

I recommend habitica.com as a tool for such organization (btw, I have no affiliation to the project).

In not only helps you organize your TODO's/long-term objectives, but it also adds the element of gamification as an incentive. It also offers some data-visualization tools that help you see a big-picture overview of your efforts, e.g. maybe you didn't start going to the gym, but only because an unplanned time-consuming problem came into your life, which you handled very well without dropping the ball in other areas.
> Given a list of time-dependent coordinates of obstacles

A tree falls in an intersection because some carpenter ants chewed through trunk. Cars swerve to miss the tree and collide in an inelastic ball of nonlinearity, showering debris everywhere. You approach this at 65 mph and have 23 ft to decide what to do. Fear not, you have a list, a perfect list with coordinates, velocities, and material properties of every solid body in the area. Furthermore, without great intellectual effort, you can solve the millions of coupled differential equations that govern the dynamics of the entire system in near real time. Oh, and your list also has a measure of importance of each bit of mass, whether it is human, animal, or inert. And your list also accounts for the degrees of freedom introduced by every other car approaching the intersection, also using their own respective lists and perfect knowledge of the world to miss each other?
I appreciate a lot of the sentiment of this article, but not the self-congratulatory, sanctimonious tone.

It refuses to acknowledge that there are people out there who are less productive when working remotely (for example, me, which I discovered after recording personal data on it), and those who are substantially less happy when working remotely. In addition, those of us who prefer an office environment sometimes find it more difficult to work with remote coworkers: something that is more or less important depending on what your day to day tasks include.

If I were running a company I would always permit employees to work remotely, or work from home when they want, but I think it's counterproductive to pretend that everyone wants that and would benefit from it.
Same, it feels too analogic.

My wife bought me a 'nice' watch as a birthday present, a Raymond Weil quartz. Nice thin case that suits my slim build rather well, but... like many other people I hadn't expected the high maintenance cost, but what really put me off was when one link in the bracelet disintegrated. No, Weil don't repair them, and no, they don't sell single links so a jeweler could fix it. They wanted 400UKP for a new bracelet, and so now the fancy watch sits on the shelf and an Apple watch does me very well.

> - Propose a constitutional amendment that imposes term limits on all members of Congress.

Term limits for elected officials just shift the balance of knowledge and experience to lobbyists. Not something to get behind. (Reforming the electoral system so that there is meaningful, non-binary choice, deals with the negative aspects of incumbency without the problems term limits has. But term limits are a favorite proposal because they benefit the already powerful lobbies.)

> A five-year ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service.

So the pool of people willing to take such positions is limited to those who can't get a secure job relating to public policy so that the ban from work that isn't dependent on the term of office of an elected official doesn't actually lose them anything. Again, another thing that tips the balance of knowledge and skill in favor of lobbies and out of the public sector.

They are the kind of reforms that sound good if you haven't thought the effects through.

[NYU/Stanford] Social Media and Fake News in the 2016 Election [pdf]
Can you imagine the response if a President Elect Hillary acted even a little like Trump has? If she put out even one childish tweet? If there was even a hint of the kinds of rumors about kompromat or direct ties to, say, Chinese influence -- let alone a real (whether or not it's legitimate information) dossier passed from John McCain to intelligence agencies? If the first white house press conference went even a little bit like how Trump's went? If she threatened to put Trump in jail to his face on live TV and then immediately backpedaled after being elected? If her approval rating was as low as Trump's is, and she accused the media of rigging approval polls? Imagine her picking Tillerson and people from Goldman Sachs for her cabinet.

If you want to talk about hypothetical double standards I want to get to the bottom of this one first.

>A 'hiring freeze' on government staff is not entirely irresponsible wherein there is bloat. The highest media wage in the US is - guess where? Washington DC. The bloat in DC is epic. At least the sentiment to want to do something about that is reasonable.

First off, I highly doubt it is the clerical / less-unskilled staff that is making those numbers so high and those are the type of jobs that will be mosty affected by the freeze. Is it really "bloat" if it's giving people livelihoods and jobs? Almost all white-collar jobs are "bloat", there are very few actually essential duties that need to be taken care of. If anything, federal employment it's one of the best support infrastructures and safety nets we have since our welfare is in such disarray.

> Allowing parents to choose schools is not 'defunding' public schools, it's allowing people to take public money allocated to their students and put it into the school of their choice.

"School choice" is just the rhetorical term used by the right to indicate the rise of private and charter schools, which don't need to follow those pesky federal regulations. Again, I also don't take the term at face value - did you even watch the Betsy DeVos confirmation hearing? It was pathetic.

>Most of the items on this list are reasonable. People are getting in a huff about it because it's 'Trump' and they can't stand that. If he can do just 'the better 1/2' of that list, America will be in much better shape.

Yea they are so bent out of shape that a thin-skinned narcissist rapist wants to basically loot the country with his cronies. The nerve of some people!
It's not a new idea. We actually had a candidate like this in SF last cycle, I think for state senator. His schtick was that, if elected, he'd set up a site where his constituents could vote on every bill he saw and he would always follow what they said.

There's a huge number of problems with such a candidate. Here's a few:

* Technical problems. You can't hand-wave these as minor issues. They're practical/implementation issues, yes, but they're so difficult and pervasive that they elevate to the level of being fundamental problems with the idea. Spam, constituent authentication, Internet access for every constituent, Russian/Chinese tampering... These are problems that the major Silicon Valley companies have spent tons of resources on and not totally solved for their use, let alone for a use that controls the US military.

* The average American does not have any clue how government works. I do not want them directly voting on or writing laws. I wouldn't want me directly voting on or writing laws without a lot of time to study up first, and I think I know a lot more about US laws and history than most voters.

* The average American, even assuming potential competence, does not have enough time to read and understand all the things that go across a legislator's desk. This gets especially impossible when compromise deals need to be struck - "no unrelated amendments" is a great idea, except that then nobody would actually ever pass anything.
Absolutely true. Which isn't to say to not do side projects, as they are a fantastic way to become a better programmer! They are just not the most efficient way to get a job.
If the world's population continues to grow exponentially it's going to happen anyway with or without expensive carbon sequestration and silly offset schemes that never work.

Rather than store carbon in solid form, which in fact plants (rainforest and such) already do anyway without the unecessary expense, why not close coal fired power stations and build nuclear? They're safer and the waste is negligible compared to coal and can be further reduced (breeder reactors, thorium cycle etc.). Burning coal also throws heavy metals (Mercury and Arsenic to name a few) and SO2/SO3 into the air. Carbon dioxide is the least of coal's problems because it can be fixed by plants or turn into bricks with additional expense.
Benefits of Choosing Aurelia Over AngularJS
No, both are bad ideas that don't solve the problem and actually make it worse.

Term limits: Does nothing to stop poor/corrupt lawmakers from holding office while also limiting the amount of domain knowledge present in Congress.

Lobbying ban: A shorter one already exists that is routinely ignored or skirted by claiming a different title/role while still being a lobbyist. Extending the ban is just asking for more people to flaunt it. The real solution is to aggressively enforce the ban or better yet, try and reduce the role of money in politics as much as possible. I doubt the latter is likely given the bank accounts of the cabinet appointees.
I don't think that the particular time is the issue here. It's that there is a specific time at all. On top of that, the thoughtless commitment to a particular amount of time being in that chair is just insulting.

I think it's extremely dangerous when the federal government dictates almost all aspects of how people should lead their lives especially when it comes to education where there's always a threat of indoctrination on large scale.
