Even a redress number is no guarantee against TSA harassment at the border, although that's not a new thing. On The Media had an episode featuring the story of one of its producers' experience at the US-Canadian border in 2013, during which a group of US citizens were held without cause other than the fact that they were Muslim.[1] One of them had a redress number, but the CBP agent told him that it didn't matter and wouldn't help.

I don't know if I'd consider TF a second-system to DistBelief alone as much as a second-system to a family of Caffe, Theano and Torch. Those predecessors each got some subset of design elements right, IMO.

For instance, symbolic differentiation and compiling is something theano got right, and ease of switching between GPU and CPU in Caffe and theano. And Torch seems to have a simple scripted feel through Lua.

But none of them seem as deliberately designed as TensorFlow. Theano has a sprawling "academic feeling" codebase with many contributors, and can be opaque. Caffe focused mostly on making feedforward convolutional nets simple, and doesn't have symbolic differentiation and pycaffe doesn't seem to support everything easily. Torch picked Lua as a language rather than python and that seems to have made it annoying for some to pick up and debug. Theano is probably the easiest framework to mash up techniques like LSTMs with convnets, but none of them do it very well, IMO.

TF seems to get right the big things that worked in prior frameworks: symbolic differentiation, compiling, the ability to use intermediate results from other networks all together, very useful debugging tools with TensorBoard and graph inspection. The core argument here seems to be that many won't find the ability to run specific parts of the computation graph on different hardware. That may be true. But that can largely be ignored. It is annoying that TF defaults to allocating all memory to itself (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34199233/how-to-prevent-t...), for instance, but by and large I think the core design of a computation graph that can be spread across hardware by design is a net win, even if a lot of people won't appreciate that until a few years from now.

Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to traditional opioids like painkillers and heroin. So the abuse potential is there. And nearly all methadone clinics don't provide additional supports (behavioral health or otherwise). They more or less function as pill mills.

I don't need to own the entire system with this stuff, but it's very hard to set up (unfortunately). Hoping more people wake up and are able to do similar things. And we're going to keep expanding access to treatment.

We only accept medicaid (for the poor in the US), who otherwise wouldn't have access to free treatment. They pay $300-500 per month for Suboxone at cash clinics, but typically don't get as much behavioral health treatment.

Sam Altman agrees: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/08/business/how-trump-became...

> “Trump is the Silicon Valley candidate in every way except that the ideology is flipped,” said Sam Altman, a prominent technology leader, chief executive of Y Combinator and a major Hillary Clinton donor. “He’s an outsider. He took on a system he thought was broken and then disregarded the rules, he got to know his users well and tested his product early and iterated rapidly. That’s the start-up playbook. That’s exactly what we tell our start-ups to do.”

(Sam Altman has also built a tool for holding Trump to his campaign promises.)
Building an Ancient Greek Small-Parts Vise
My point was that a lot of hosts cater to people on vacation because that's the bread and butter for them and AirBnB right now. They're well positioned for vacation rentals, not more-demanding business travelers at this point but they're getting better. They haven't cracked that nut; but they could and they are already trying.

I just looked and they have a section for business travelers and for wading through listings [1]. They already have Business Travel Ready Listings [2] which was what I was suggesting. Have you used that or did you go through the front door for your bookings? I didn't know it existed and

Separately - there are advantages of an AirBnB that are more friendly to biz travelers already, like being able to have more flexibility for check-in, free high speed wi-fi, kitchens in almost all listings, better work spaces, etc. So it's a matter of ironing out a few things to make booking easier, adding a good rewards program, and ramping up marketing to compete and steal market share.

I guess. I also get a ton of pushback from our design team because some tasks would be "too much work" that I show them can be done as a batch job in Photoshop in seconds. And specify the requirements that certain things be delivered in certain aspect ratios.

Our "creatives" tend to not know this stuff. Also they don't know other basic stuff about color spaces and typography.

You have to know a certain amount of these things in the webspace so that you can properly head off problems and explain requirements, especially as a senior developer.

More often than not, their "talent" (because they see it as a creative job) is more respected than your magic (because they don't have the faintest concept of what you do). If you're not in a technologhy company and it comes down to your needs or the designers, if you don't know their job too, you're going to lose.

I know all of this design shit, but I'm also a fullstack dev all the way down to the metal. It is possible. I just happened to grow up hacking on a C64, got into designing websites early and then worked in print production and dabbled in video for a while before getting back to software development.

It does if your source language is Turing-complete and you expect the compiler to successfully compile every valid source program.
For a senior web developer for specific content management systems knowing how to develop sites from scratch for a content management system requires deep knowledge of the programming language of the CMS, the CMS module and plugin system and many more skills. It is now expected that you know more than just the programming language of a content management system in order to be a lead or senior level developer in the web development world.

These may require the capability on how to design themes for the CMS(Drupal, Joomla, ExpressionEngine) from scratch or using existing themes or templates, normally in Adobe Photoshop (splicing, layering, exporting and chopping everything up for HTML), creating custom modules for the content management system(deep knowledge of the content management system module build system, how to interact with external APIs (SOAP, XML-RPC, JSON, etc.), and normally a bit of system administration skills to move, upgrade and secure a site and servers from the development environment, to the testing environment and then to the production environment.

You would normally also have a very good idea (maybe not expert) of how content delivery networks work, how to scale a high traffic website to more then one database and web server, the proper changes that are needed to work behind load balancers, firewalls, etc.

Though with all of these required skills you should also be paid very handsomely since these are not easily obtained in a short amount of time.

Remember that to remove aliasing (spatial and temporal), you want no frequencies above the nyquist rate.

Typically, anti-aliasing uses an average of multiple samples across the width of the pixel (MSAA), or across the timespan of the frame to eliminate this.

That is in fact a rectangular function in the time/spatial domain. Which is wrong. A rectangular function reduces rather than eliminates the frequency components above the nyquist rate, and also attenuates frequencies near but below the nyquist rate (leading to blur).

In fact, you want a rectangular frequency domain function, which in the spatial/time domain is a sinc function.

This isn't done in real cameras because it is technically too hard, but in 3D rendering, it should be done, and will produce smoother animations.

I have never seen anyone do this, but results should be theoretically better. I’d also like to see a freeze frame of a sinc time domain sampled motion blur - it would probably look very weird, even though it looks good at the playback rate.
I think that's kind of the point, though, that OSes and shells have gotten to the point where all that complexity is hidden behind an easy installation. With modern web frameworks, all the "guts" are still fully exposed, warts and all.

The great thing about the modern web is that ads are centralized (for various values of centralization) on ad networks. So it's damn easy to have an ad-free experience by dumping them to 0.0.0.0 in hosts.

> You shouldn't need a manual for something simple.

That's like saying "Everyone knows how to drive a car, you just keep it pointing forward and engage the engine".

Everything needs some sort of documentation, whether it be through examples (the way love2d.org/wiki is done, for example, is both informative and useful), documentation, BNF, etc. The fact that a manual exists is not a detriment, but a success -- you have enough features and complexity worthy of documenting it (although I don't mean to imply that larger is bigger :) ).
