It seems odd that only one object of each class is tracked in a video segment. I'd imagine that it would be a limitation for algorithms that generate bounding boxes for each class, as they might be penalized for correctly finding the non-tracked instances of a given class. Is only tracking a single instance of a class standard for this kind of dataset?

Not sure how you developed with Xamarin, or how long ago, but it most definitely does not have worse toolchain development. Starting with a proper IDE, to compilation, to native-interop, to performance, to actual base library that exists.

This is not true... Google Switzerland pays more than in US (actually more, than anywhere else), especially if you take taxation and the pension system into account.
> Studies about the wage gap look for reasons why companies compensate women less

You're really begging the question here. You're assuming that companies do pay the women less regardless of their contributions to the company. As I have said before, there are dozens of studies out there, and you can find evidence for and against the existence of a non-justified gender wage gap.

> Research on the wage gap doesn't conclude that these causal factors morally justify the wage gap, because they don't.

That doesn't make sense. If adjusting factors for contributions to the company reduce the wage gap to zero, there is no wage gap and there is no moral justification needed.
True. You can fundamentally view the relationship between a startup's progress and its wont to fund as occurring against a constantly shifting risk/reward ratio for the VC.

If the startup can say "look, we have product A with feature set B", that's something. If they can say "look, we also have X customers and Y growth with Z profitability", that's something more.

It is perfectly reasonable for startups, seeing that the risk/reward graph shifts significantly at certain achievements, to schedule funding rounds in such a way as to minimize that risk for investors and thus retain maximum ownership.

For example, in our case (a hardware startup with four digit unit prices per product) we are naturally deferring Series A until we have achieved a final manufacturing-ready prototype, both because we need serious cash to make production happen at decent volume, and because anything earlier would be suicidal from the perspective of long term value due to far higher VC-perceived risk.

Five things:

1. We are taxed on income heavily in the US.

2. Insurance is expensive here.

3. In the hubs, rent is very expensive.

Take-home pay after considering these three things is a lot less than you might think. And also:

4. Generalizing the salary of positions across the whole US is misleading. An average engineering job in the midwest or outside of a hub can pay half the salary of SF or NYC.

5. It really depends (1) where the company you're considering is based and (2) if it's a remote gig, whether they adjust your comp based on your location. One example of this is Buffer's extremely transparent salary calculator [1].

The holy grail is to geoarbitrage by getting paid by a company in a location that pays highly while living remotely somewhere the cost of living is much lower.

> I copy-pasted my search term exactly in the previous post.

I'm bringing up a problem with how the language presents itself to beginners, not asking you to solve a specific problem for me. If searching is the answer to everything, then there needs to be a concerted effort to take Google-juice away from bad or deprecated answers.

Incidentally, the search result you're describing for "lines" says "An iterator over the lines of an instance of BufRead.", which only appears to be the answer to "how do I iterate lines of a file?" if you already know what the answer is.
What proof could they actually provide? Given the medium, anything they said is probably easily forgeable or illegal to share. That being the case, demanding proof is just a way for you to look "skeptical" without providing much of value to the conversation. I'm guessing you meant well, but apparently others thought differently.

We all know people lie on the internet sometimes. We can't explicitly bring up the possibility everytime someone makes any statement, or half the internet would be "careful, this might not be true!".
> * Setting up a proper build system is tedious, especially if you're targeting multiple platforms.

There is a tool called waf (https://github.com/waf-project/waf) which is getting way too little love, but is really the perfect build system for C and C++ projects:

from glob import glob
def options(ctx):
ctx.load('compiler_cxx')
def configure(ctx):
ctx.load('compiler_cxx')
def build(ctx):
ctx.program(source = glob('src/*.cpp'), target = 'your-program')

That build script will work with all major compilers (Visual Studio, gcc, clang, mingw) out of the box.
Also known as the Obsborne effect (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_effect).
NSA and the likes rely on the judicial precedent effect, and the generational effect.

I am 36. When I talk to people between 20 and 25 I am shocked to find out they find the whole spying thing pretty normal. They are kind of born into a world where this is already the norm. And we know that most people never challenge the rules of the environment they were born into, not until they turn at least 30 (more often 35-40 IMO) anyway.

Between their claim of "well, things have always been that way" (since they're too young to remember other times) and "I have nothing to hide so I don't care", I'd say NSA and Co. are winning crushingly.
I agree that using the command line for this type of problem is going to be problematic.

I also see clearly how hashing the encrypted data before "storing it at this 3rd party" would allow you to verify CBC block modifications.

I guess I don't understand GPG well enough to see how it solves this problem better than AES CBC 256. Could you perchance provide a link? Or explain how GPG would take care of this?
I'd expect it wasn't handled. If it comes up, 'Let legal deal with it'.
Realistically, I'm not interested in an RMA for another DS1815 that will fail, followed by (possibly) another RMA once the problem is fixed in silicon. I'm also very uncertain about slotting the drives into a new unit and successfully recovering the RAID.

Instead, I'll shut down the NAS and buy a replacement from another company (QNAP probably) and transfer the data. The other options feel too risky.
Planet always knew that the resolution on the doves would be low. The advantage of a fleet of low spatial resolution satellites is that you can get much better temporal resolution - imaging areas every month, week, or even every day has unique value, even if you don't image them at better than ~4 meters.
Here are a few examples:

It's easy to get an image of (say) Haiti right _after_ the earthquake - you know the disaster just happened. But it's really nice to have an image of Haiti right _before_ the earthquake so you know where the damage happened, so you want baseline imagery of every city in the world to better direct post-disaster relief efforts. The more up-to-date, the better.

It's good for identifying areas where illegal logging operations are happening _right now_ - Count the trees in at-risk areas on a daily basis to track illegal logging groups.

Or image every port on the planet to identify international shipping trends and monitor loading / unloading efficiencies.

Or image every soybean plantation in the world to check crop health. [insert crop type above for the ag industry you're interested in]

Or image every major glacier every day and correlate it with temperature data to gather more scientific data about climate change and sea level predictions.

All these are simultaneously achievable with a flock of >100 3U cubesats taking ~4m resolution imagery. They are not possible with a half dozen ~1M resolution conventional satellites... Maybe you could do one of the above things.

There's a lot of value there - the more conventional satellites add to it, for sure, but they're not going to totally replace it anytime soon.

Sure. This particular project was 2 engineers working about 4 months from concept to shipping. One engineer had done iOS development since iOS 5 and was familiar with Swift and Obj-C and only vaguely familiar with JS, React and Redux. The other engineer came from a web background using mostly Angular 1.x and jQuery with no native mobile development experience.

Edit: 4 months because many novel solutions needed to be developed. Particularly a coarse indoor location that uses iBeacons and works without internet access and a statistics based learning audio player that alters content order based on what you have previously listened to.

In order to know whether an arena is empty, you need to have walked, at a minimum, each object that was in the arena. That applies for copying collections too as during the copy phase you've walked and inspected each object that might be copied into the arena at least once. Arenas do not reduce the cost of garbage collection to O(1). And in any event arenas are not solely the preserve of sweeping or sweeping+copying collectors.

The algorithmic complexity of a sweeping collector is identical to that of a reference counting collector that can also break cycles. See A Unified Theory of Garbage Collection at http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.146....

A reference counting collector that _cannot_ break cycles (like in Swift) might have lower algorithmic complexity. I'm not sure.

The biggest bone of contention with reference counting is the constant adjustment of the reference count of objects on the stack. OTOH, the bone of contention with sweeping collectors is constantly walking all extant objects, including ones not directly on the stack.

There are various optimizations you can make to one or the other or both; many arguments about how real-world scenarios tax one or the other model; and many arguments about which is easier to optimize. But at the end of the day reference counting is no worse in terms of algorithmic complexity than sweeping. What matters most will be the quality of implementation. Is the compiler smart enough to know that an object passed 3 routines deep doesn't really escape the stack scope? If it can do that, it can elide all the cost of either approach.
Much like life before the internet, I don't see why you're required to share all that info in the first place. It's up to you to decide what others see, even when you don't have a secret online alter ego.

I don't understand this statement at all. C is a much weaker type system than C++. You can do things in C that will never compile in C++, it is much, much stricter.
If you're thinking like that I don't see why you wouldn't prefer Java or C#? One of the major advantages of C and C++ is explicit memory allocation and lack of GC pauses.
