That doesn't have to be taken as derogatory or insulting. I can relate, I too find it somewhat sad. I don't think that's a problem with the people who don't know, but a systemic problem where cool and noteworthy things of the past are overshadowed by popular current things that share a similar name. Relevant or interesting history is all too quickly forgotten by the general populace.

As an aside, the most recent example of that I've come across, and much more relevant to current events (to US Americans, at least), was during the most recent Hardcore History podcast. It was pointed out that JFK won after he got a bunch of free press because of how photogenic his family was (which whether it was the reason he won or not probably helped quite a bit). Parallels weren't drawn to current events, but it's not like you need a political science degree to see them, which I found really interesting.
Not the OP, but the imposed guilt for nonconformance to sometimes arbitrary norms can be quite destructive as well.
I think Office 365 can definitely stand alone and compare with something like Google Apps (GSuite). That many people use it in conjunction with offline Office is more a result of offline Office being the incumbent during the transition.
The overall discussion in this sub-thread is the cost of being able to point at fast-moving satellites.

For straight bandwidth, how the the price of phone modems go up from the first analog phones to 5G? Seems to have not been much of a burden to phone prices. (Edit: shaped beams in the cell towers make a huge difference.)

Go's exceptions are called panics; the recommended practice is generally not to let them cross API surfaces, and the standard library (again, generally) follows that.

It is, of course, possible to create libraries that don't follow the idiom.

A Simple JavaScript Exploit Bypasses ASLR Protection on 22 CPU Archectures
You don't understand what dedicated means in the American context - which is this discussion. It would mean complete incompatibility, and building new tracks and maybe stations downtown. This is not what EU high speed rail was built on, they use a lot of legacy lines, especially earlier on, especially in Germany. Without that it wouldve failed - not being able to reuse existing infrastructure is why maglev failed.

As an aside, calling an idea complete bullshit based on an nitpick is pretty weak, especially since you're wrong: when tgv started in September 1981, they only had part of the line constructed. Without compatibility, I.e. a completely dedicated system, you could've only traveled between two random towns.

The crash-on-full-screen-video bug started on my laptop after installing the Anniversary Update (v. 1607). I have a hybrid Intel 4000 / NVIDIA NVS 5400M video card, similar to the setups described in realharo's links. There was no driver fix available (and apparently there still isn't), so I had to revert to Windows 10 v. 1511 to work around the bug.

Surely you would want to support Wine and not ReactOS?

The only advantage of ReactOS over WINE is that ReactOS has Windows 2003 compatible kernel. This means native Windows drivers, and faster emulation of some features.

However, a few decades from now, there will be no devices left which have Windows 2003 drivers. And hopefully CPUs will become faster, so Wine overhead will be negligible. And I doubt all the new devices will have ReactOS drivers.

Rather than keep going on ReactOS, I would much more prefer people making wine better.
Yeah, well, here's the thing about that: If you don't explain your lifestyle to some people most just assume you're a broke bum, which is very annoying after awhile. I'm actually going to find some job to do because I can't stand sitting at home and I don't have quite enough money to be fully retired at 43 but it's like --->.<--- that close.
If you live close to the population center but not actually in it, then you're probably highly reliant on its services. How far do you drive to buy groceries? Aren't you contributing to the congestion and pollution of the city every time you make the trip into town? Why shouldn't you have to bear some of their infrastructure costs, instead of just leeching off the city's tax base?

Where I live (East coast) the counties are too small to cover the whole region of people who make daily use of the city. We don't really have an appropriately sized regional government to fully address the matter with any methods other than toll roads.
There are electric and magnetic fields. While you can't have one without the other, one always dominates when those fields propagate. Also, the effects vary depending on distance from the generating source.[1]

This article apparently says that they have made a practical way to transfer magnetic energy to inductors (coils) well beyond the near field range.[2] They do this by creating quasistatic magnetic fields within a specific space. The coils within that space react to the magnetic fields the way coils in a circuit would.

I'm a non-American native English speaker and "I could care less.." confused me until I had it explicitly explained to me. I took it as some kind of inversion of "I couldn't care less" which I had heard plenty. It still doesn't make any sense (if you could care less, it's implicit that you care to some degree, right..?) but at least I get it now.

Of course, no one is suggesting an overnight ban. I do see an alarming level of support for engineering a steadily increasing scarcity of parking, high tolls, and a deliberately under-provisioned road network in order to degrade the experience of driving until it sucks just a little worse than transit/cycling.

I think we should address the reasons people live far from their destinations, rather than the mechanisms which let them lead reasonable lives while doing so. "It's too easy" isn't the reason. "The alternatives are too hard" is the reason.
The original title of the submission was "the brutally honest truth about selling your company", and I went with the brutally honest theme.

To be honest I'm surprised it got 46 upvotes.
Sure - I guess it's productive for me to answer why this doesn't disagree with my comment. By the time you get the software to hook up that kind of low bit precision (READ: neuromorphic) compute performance with extreme communication-minimizing strategies (READ: neuromorphic), which will invariable require compute colocated, persistent storage (READ: neuromorphic) in any type of general AI application, you're not exactly making the argument that neuromorphic chips are a bad idea.

We literally have to start taking neuromorphic to mean some silly semantics like "exactly like the brain in every possible way" in order to disagree with it.

Edit: also, to ground this discussion, there are extremely concrete reason why current neural net architectures will NOT work with the above optimizations. That's the primary motivation for talking about "neuromorphic", or any other synonym you want to coin, as fundamentally different hardware. AI software ppl need to have a term for hardware of the future, which simply won't be capable of running AlexNet well at all, in the same way that a GPU can't run CPU code well. I think the term "neuromorphic" to describe this hardware is as productive as any.
Can't say I agree. I think the commenters taking that tack are maybe adding a filter or two of their own to what the author is saying and being reactive to the less interesting parts of the article. That leads to a somewhat boring, if also exciting, round-of-denunciation sort of thread. (Boring-plus-exciting is the alcohol-plus-amphetamines of internet forums.)

They're also ignoring the ways the author is already piling on himself. I think that's a shallow reading and a bit harsh. The common trope in our culture is for the rest of us to become hostile when someone with money goes on about their problems ('what's he got to complain about?'). I get why, but it's an oversimplifying reflex that doesn't breed good discussion. Human lives are complex things.

IMO the more interesting parts of the article have to do with tradeoffs and unintended consequences. Doing what it takes to achieve a goal, including a socially laudable/enviable goal, can leave you stuck and/or damaged in other ways. These dynamics are more interesting than just seeing someone as 'an asshole'.

On the bright side, that's am easy way to measure your growth. Look at it this way, if in six months or more if you look back on code you're writing now that's non-trivial and you can't think of a single thing you would do different what's more likely, that you were lucky/good enough to design it perfectly, or that you didn't actually learn anything from the experience (even if it's what assumptions about projects in that industry you shouldn't make going forward)?

I dread the day I no longer see progress. I suspect it's also about the time I'll really find programming no longer fun.
I'd encourage you to look at building from source[1] rather than using package managers or binaries. It's quite simple, let's you upgrade/downgrade at will and importantly makes cross compiling to other architecture/OS trivial.

https://golang.org/doc/install/source
I'm addressing your point that it's a solved problem. The issues around making high bandwidth data interconnects are not just "straight bandwidth". I'm explaining that there are fundamental interconnections between bandwidth and SNR that make large bandwidths harder to build at sufficient SNR:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson%E2%80%93Nyquist_noise

The iridium satellite receivers use low-gain antennas, so reception is limited to small bandwidths. This means they don't care where the satellites are. New technology will enable high-gain antennas that can track the motion of satellites, enabling much higher channel rates.
How did you reach that conclusion? What is the right problem to be solving?

> Yet nobody objects to ordinary citizens having to pay water or power or phone bills, rather than the bulk of the cost being subsidized from tax revenues.

All of those things are also subsidized, to some extent. Water is the classic example, but the government subsidizes both fossil-fuel and clean energy, as well as the companies proving phone/cable/internet. The difference here is that you're paying your taxes on your vehicle and the gas, the latter of which is essentially a use tax on driving.
I get what you are getting at here. The human isn't the interesting bit. Humans have pretty good bullshit detectors built in already.

An image that triggers a false positive within the AI won't be noticeable to the average human, however good at detecting bullshit as they are. It probably looks like some annoying abstract pattern at the worst.

To the car, however, it could represent anything that made it react adversely upon observing it. Seems like figuring out how to find those images might pose a challenge.

The Logical Data Warehouse
There are plenty of neighborhoods in San Francisco where one can get a house with a yard; take, for instance, Noe Valley. It is San Francisco so housing prices are expensive but I am inclined to believe that it is cheaper to live without a car in San Francisco than with a car in the suburban Bay Area. The difference, of course, is in the square footage of your living space.

This isn't a phenomenon that is unique to SF either.

Would be interesting to implement a Linux compatibility layer on top of ReactOS -- just to get the benefit of using binary drivers supplied by manufacturers for Windows. Perhaps Wayland could run on top of ReactOS and benefit from native DirectX drivers?
Yes, and quite rich coming from the crowd which throws around Functors, Applicatives, Monads, Kiesli, CoYoneda etc.
If you're going to point to environmental stress, let's not forget that a stuffy, smelly subway car at rush hour pressed up against hundreds of strangers' bodies is also a less than ideal environment.
But if you go a little further back, open source has the advantage: It's now easier to run 16-bit Windows programs under Wine on Linux or OS X than it is to run them on a modern Windows machine, and Microsoft has completely ceded the vintage gaming audience to DOSBox.
Agree, NT has many excellent ideas. But re-implementing it today seems silly. Are you going to have messages with take two integers only, then stick two 16-bit fields into second one? Look at these articles, do you think anyone should be implementing API like this in 21st century:

Stuffy and smelly has no correlation with toxic.
I love the idea of pure consumption based taxes, but I think it's definitely possible to get carried away (and end up wasting more in tracking minuscule tax amounts owed for various things than its worth). This is especially so when you consider complications such as the indirect benefits of an interstate highway system to someone who never drives on highways (economic benefits). It makes sense to have a 'pool' of taxes, like an income tax, for general societal maintenance instead of having an individual tax for every one of the thousands of functions of government, especially those that are either insignificant or impractical to track, such as individual wear and tear on every road, benefits from having a military/police force, etc.
Beta app to improve youth financial education
I left Google to start Pennybox; my goal is to radically transform and educate kids about personal finance.

Four in ten millennials say they are overwhelmed by debt and over half of millennials live paycheck to paycheck, unable to save for the future. Nearly eight in ten credit card carrying college students are unaware of late payment charges and one in four adults admit that they do not pay their bills on time. These are ominous trends. At this scale, it is not hard to imagine that negative consequences for individuals will eventually wreak havoc on society.

You're both right and wrong.

No credible machine learning researcher will tell you that deep learning has totally solved "generalizable" computer vision. The only people claiming such a broad statement are usually the media or enthusiasts who have never done any actual research.

So it might be technically correct to say adversarial examples prove (by counterexample) that deep learning fails at generalization, but nobody in the field claimed that in the first place.

It is hyperbole to claim that adversarial examples will be solved in the next few years. That is extremely unlikely, since the reason they exist is due to the linear nature of convolutions (and I don't think anyone is suggesting we get rid of convolutions entirely).

The Reno Cure for Valentines Gone Wrong
I recently flew internationally on United. They have this. You need a phone or iPad with the app and then you can pull up movies and shows. I flew round trip and it worked about 20% of one way and 0% the other way. I had counted on it so didn't bring books or any other entertainment and had to stare at the back of the seat in front of me for 14 hours with simmering hatred for United.

One point: whereas before if the screen didn't work it was their responsibility, now they can blame your device and there's no real recourse.

I get that the other built in screens are not perfect but I've only had a problem with it not working maybe 1 out of 30 flights.

I ended up getting a 100 dollar voucher which will never be used since United is garbage.
The news about Sri Lanka is disappointing, but unless you think it's entirely spin it seems reasonable to look at other countries where carriers may be friendlier and spectrum easier to acquire.
Reading that, and the little blurb about move and copy semantics below the infographic, it occurred to me that borrowing is actually rather easily described as real like sharing (which is unfortunately already a loaded term in much of CS due to multiprocessing).

When you share something that is not copyable (such as a pen), you give it to the person borrowing it until they return it when done.

When you share something that is copyable (and idea, some software, a joke), you give someone their own copy to do with as they please. There is no return required.

Borrowing, which is from the receiver's perspective, implies returning, while sharing, from the sender's perspective, may or not mat imply a later return of something.

I wonder how much the conceptual baggage of the terminology affects how people learn them.
