Right -- so those 7 states listed in the article have alternative forms of tax (corporate income tax, oil-production taxes, etc.). Are you opposed solely to personal income taxes (while still supporting alternative forms of tax), or are you opposed to all taxation?
Then let's rephrase to meet that cavil - there's far too much irrelevant, futile and stupendously wasteful politics, then. The (yes, political) goal of free software is wonderful. Copyleft is a great invention. But the continued insistence on grabbing patents or even obviating patent law in its entire from within a software license - and also the mission to prevent tivoization (which I might want to protect my OS from an inside job or proximate attack, thank you) - has wasted billions of dollars (Google recreating GNU under a more liberal license), fragmented the movement, and tainted the brand, too.
> Rust on the other hand is not as flexible.

How so? If you want the same flexibility as C++ memory safety wise, you just use the unsafe keyword when you need to. A lot of Rust programmers are scared of unsafe blocks for some reason but writing unsafe code in Rust is no less safe than writing regular C/C++ except you can choose to reenable safety whenever you want to. You have to look out for subtle bugs that come up when safe code makes assumptions about unsafe code that you don't properly implement but these are logic bugs, same as you'd find in any other language when a module breaks a contract. Just don't use unsafe willy nilly in a library crate that you expect other people to use.

As far as the rest of the language, I find Rust's traits to be far more flexible than C++ OOP, it just takes a little while to adapt to thinking in trait based composition. Once trait specialization and "impl Trait" hit stable and the Rust team figures out how to make the ambiguity rules less conservative, we'll have the best of both worlds: interfaces (both dynamic and static), trait based composition, and inheritance (you can already do regular OOP inheritance with a little bit of boilerplate like how Servo uses Upcast<T>/Downcast<T> traits for HTML object hierarchies). Both are currently in nightly (impl Trait might be beta already).

This is for optimizing inference. For consumer devices such as smart cameras, speech recognition on your phone, or robotics that's the part that matters.

They have real speed improvements by using 1-bit quantitzed weights and then running operations using 32-bit or 64-bit bitfields which happen to use very few instructions/cycles on modern CPUS: https://github.com/allenai/XNOR-Net

2017 Outlook for Developed Markets
Nice, I guess.

I have to wonder if this sort of thing matters. If Trump fails to live up to his promises, Trump fans will love him anyway, and Clinton fans will think that's just dandy and hate him anyway.

As the blog post[1] criticizing Paltrow (which was written by a gynecologist and linked from the WaPo article) says, it's not something that should be done continuously, all day long:

> Overenthusiastic Kegel exercises or incorrectly done Kegel exercises are a cause of pelvic pain and pain with sex in my practice. Imagine how your biceps muscle (and then your shoulders and then your back) might feel if you walked around all day flexed holding a barbell? Right, now imagine your pelvic floor muscles doing this.

When my daughter was in Beijing last year in school, virtually all of the U.S. students in her class used VPNs to access Youtube and other american content. I got the impression they were quite common amongst the Beijingers too.
Thanks for clarifying. It definitely makes more sense to me than what I understood from the previous message. Personally, I think there is room for a variety of approaches. It's one of the reasons I'm happy that the OSI is around to champion open source methodologies as distinct from software freedom. Likely, as you say, there would be some benefit from people concentrating on building user-focussed end-to-end experiences.

Having said that, I don't think the FSF needs to get involved with that as the role of prioritising software freedom in an ever changing world is probably more important and also more difficult than ever.

One thing I would caution is assuming that encouraging non-free applications on a free operating system is always going to be win-win. I worked at Corel when they were doing their Linux distro. They misunderstood free software badly. They saw it as an opportunity to lock people into their proprietary applications by changing the underlying OS (without having to pay for developing it). This led to some pretty strange business decisions and ultimately wasted a huge amount of money.

There were a couple of spinoffs from ex-Corel employees who tried to maintain this way of thinking and it was always an uphill struggle. Probably the only one to make any kind of profit was TransGaming and I'll maintain that was substantially because Gav State is both a talented and genuinely nice guy.

I think in order to to make this kind of thing work, you need to understand free software (and the goals of free software) at a very deep level. From my experience, it's just no compatible in a natural way.
And there's a good reason to have a more open mind about communication: you miss out on some potentially great candidates that way. The first ops person I hired at blekko had kinda terrible spoken English. He was awesome and solved a lot of hard problems. I just learned to not try to communicate with him over the phone :-)

If I step back a step, the reality is that I am always more comfortable communicating with people like me, with an accent I'm comfortable with, who use my kind of vocabulary, who use similar grammar to mine. Guess what? I can effectively communicate with a lot more people than the ones who score highly on my personal communication scale.

Edit: I should add that this is something that should be discussed openly during the recruitment process.
It might be that what is being stated as racist, is better described as racial bias. Bias' are generally subconscious, whereas usually the term racist is reserved for outward, and aggressive bigotry.

Understanding ones own bias' is important in understanding how to help correct the problems.
Got it, of course! Capitalized could be a formal tax term in this case, but it was just meant in terms of actual plain capitalization generally.

Yeah, mortgage tax deduction, like all incentives that encourage borrowing more money, ends up being a transfer of wealth from new homebuyers to whoever had owned property outright (whether older long-term homeowners or developers or real estate investors).

Very important point.
I can't wait for Android to get basic features the iPhone had in 2007, like a backup system and permission system that work properly and automatically on every app, and actual software updates. Plus a watch that's actually decent. Then I can switch away from Apple's dictatorship and not have to worry about being told what I can and can't use ever again.

Pixel is getting close, but still needs to not have insane design decisions like the weird oversized spacing of every app, and the fingerprint sensor in the stupidest place possible.
I had Netflix around 1999 and I lived close to one of their shipping centers. The turn around time was about two days and I could request three DVDs at a time. It was glorious. Huge selection of awesome DVD movies. All sorts of stuff you would never find in a rental store. Sad that you can't stream those great movies now but I'm still a Netflix subscriber.
Thank you for expanding on your post.
The guy was unqualified for the job.

Just think about what it takes to be sitting on top of the massive hierarchy that is the govt.

If there is an issue X you need to know who to talk to, who to trust, who has power and influence to make things happen, what you can offer them in return etc etc. How the fuck was Obama ever qualified to know all that?

So if you have an issue with Education or Pakistan or Wall Street lots of delegation happens to random people who have their own agendas.

So what happened in his first couple years, was he was just used by much more savvy operators. And once he realized it, he spent the remaining years trusting no one.

You can't take someone with a few years of real world experience put them in charge of a massive org and expect them to know what they are doing.

But unfortunately as Daniel Kahnemen says there is huge demand for overconfidence. So we end up with leaders like Obama and Trump.
Eh, I'll tank for a few minutes in live poker. I don't mind that the computer does too.

Could something like this have any impact on a bluetooth antenna?
Yep. Specifically you'd need to adjust your TX power down to 27 dBm (from a max of 30 dBm) for an AP, or 29 dBm for a station. http://www.air802.com/fcc-rules-and-regulations.html gives a nice summary.

Basically APs on 2.4 GHz are only allowed 36 dBm (4 W) EIRP, no matter what antenna shape. This is usually not a problem though, since stations tend to have weaker transmitters anyway, but will still benefit from the AP's enhanced antenna gain.

Probably because in a lot of the places where this happens, the owners/operators of the infrastructure have to actually live there and deal with the consequences of undermining the powers that be. On top of that, sometimes it pays to play -- thereby be a human rights cost but there's a real payout whether it's monetary, accruing favor with the local powers, or just being able to operate.

I think it's very easy to look at the state of the world and judge it to be an egregious violation of human rights, and the solution is simple. Implementing it, however, is complicated by external factors and always is in these situations.

Not entirely sure, seemed banned, have vague memories of people being harassed for using proxies.

In any case proxied have definitely been soft banned. If you try searching for vpn/proxy you'll get dead connections. If a url has the same, you'll also get a dead connection (as opposed to a "this is banned" page)

Also perhaps of note... When a law isn't working (ie indoor smoking ban) they have been known to just re-issue it.

Why would it be irreparable?
Unrelated to my comment above, I do include a daily walk as part of my morning ritual. I've always found that this time is great for either purposeful thought (pretend to have a conversation with yourself in your own head about a problem you're trying to solve, and try to play both sides of the inquisitor and the respondent), or active absence of thought. Both have value in different moments, and both are great ways to prepare and progress through your daily challenges.

I have no concrete data or articles to support this notion, but I truly have found I need to give my brain a little bit of breathing room to work through a problem. Walking outside, when I can be actively distracted by my surroundings but not so much that I have to burn a lot of active energy, helps me to process this background data. This is totally a YMMV suggestion, and I want to toss out a huge caveat that this is an anecdote and me spouting personal pseudo science :)

Apollo is now Galileo. Galileo, Sabre, HP Shares, and Amadeus (the actual "Big 4" in this space) all still use the TPF operating system on IBM mainframes. They all are offloading functionality piecemeal, to more modern systems. But TPF is still at the core.

You mentioned Navitaire. They are not using TPF...they use COBOL on Windows (not kidding). They do have a large list of airline customers, but none with a big fleet. Reportedly, it doesn't scale up well enough to serve a large airline.

TPF also lives on in the financial world as well, like at Visa, for example.
Only a false sense of security.

Since the page is loaded as plain text, it can also be altered by anyone with network access between the server and the user. Javascript can be very trivially injected that simply sends each keydown event to the server, giving away the user's "hidden" password.

So even if the code you wrote doesn't ever send the password input to the server, that doesn't mean code hasn't been injected by some third party by the time it gets to your customer/user.

XNOR-Net is not currently part of TensorFlow, although there is a feature request to support it. [0]

The main difference is that XNOR-Net uses 1 bit quantized weights and XNOR+popcount to approximate the dot product of convolution, which can be implemented very efficiently by using 64-bit arithmetic instructions on a CPU to operate over 64 1-bit components in parallel. [1]

TensorFlow's optimization is also using discretized weights, but AFAIK targeted at 8-bit quantized weights. [2]

Thanks, we will! :)

Some great additional options you mention there. For now, we have chosen to take averages for most of things to keep things simple and don't have the user to think about every detail. Besides, these variables differ heavily (oil prices per country differ, fuel consumption per car too, etc.)

Visa information is a think we have planned to add very soon :) Also more additional information like that we are planning to implement soon :D

(1) Adultery is not your average indiscretion. Breaking a marriage contract is illegal in most jurisdictions (though it is rarely enforced).

(2) When you teach at a religious institution, "personal life choices that don't affect their work?" is less of a thing, because you've deliberately related work and religion (i.e. personal choices).

It might not be your cup of tea, but some students want to attend an institution of high moral standards, as well as high academic standards.

Don't coastal urban voters, particularly if they're white, skew relatively wealthy compared to their rural counterparts though?

On the one hand I agree that bad policy is still bad even if it does end up saving some jobs, but it seems the economy is already so tilted in favor of white coastal urban voters that I find it somewhat hard to sympathize.

>we get insulted for our efforts.

While this is certainly disappointing, it is so prevalent on both sides I can't take it seriously unless you're willing to call out similar denigration of the rural poor by coastal urbanites.

To be fair NRVO is now in the c++ standard. prior to c++11 it was a non-mandatory compiler optimization. Now it's part of the language. It's a good think because optimizations should have no side-effects yet this one does (if your copy ctor has a print statement, it won't be printed if this optimization is deployed.)
I think the core thing that both sides of an argument like this need to agree upon before engaging, is defining the word racism. As an observer, it's clear that you both have different understandings of what you're discussing. The traditional view of the word is different to how progressives typically mean it.

That's with no judgment intended on either argument :).

Nah. Google doesn't "train" per se. They expect that you already know your shit pretty well when you get hired, or else they just don't hire you. From there on out you're on your own. No one will "train" you specifically, although opportunities are sometimes available. In particular, no one will specifically train you to write tight code. Your CLs will just get rejected until you learn that on your own. Source: spent 8 years at Google.

This is truly unprecedented. For perspective, the largest march on DC during the Vietnam War was 500,000. Adjusted for population, that would be 784,411 people.

Estimated crowd in DC on Saturday was 1.2 million. Nationwide, it was 3 million. Just one of the six Los Angeles area protests had 750,000 people.

Even Witchita, Kansas had thousands.

Microdosing
Yeah. Sorry to tell you, but nearly every app you have installed, even if they don't have active advertisements in the app, likely has attribution software installed in their app which they used for any user acquisition.

This data is then fed to ad networks who help run these campaigns, which then use this data to better hone in on ads to show you later on. It's unlikely that the app is sending anything other than "user123 installed the app", but one never knows without inspecting the packets. This data is "mostly" harmless, but I respect the fact that many users are unaware just how many companies have profiles built out about them.

Not being a historian of this sort of stuff, it's my presumption this is just a modern form of what large retailers would do with loyalty programs back and store credit cards. The data was far more siloed and less likely to be leaked to third parties, but one was still being tracked none the less.

It's very frustrating. I had a VPN but they were even blocking that. Thankfully I was able to access Google and Gmail while on international roaming with Verizon. We're certainly seeing a separation of internets.
In the old days (a millenia ago) Universities (teacher's guilds, literally) didn't test students - the Church tested the students and credentialed them, not the teachers. The great advantage of this was that there was no grade inflation or other funny business, 'cause there was no conflict of interest. Now, the academy grades its own work, in effect.
Back then, if you could get the study in on your own and pass, great. If not, you found a professor and settled on a fee. Now, the academy is an old boys' club, and can get very inbred, and be a decade behind the market, too. In computer science, if someone's a prof at most Universities, it's often a sign they aren't competent enough to survive in the wild.
