I'm on the market for a laptop with a good GPU so I went to check it out. I see 2 problems with the P51:

1- Lenovo's website says it is not available yet http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/p-series/p51/

2- The GPU is a 4GB Maxwell, i.e. 2 generations behind and with relatively small memory. The type of person who might buy a Blade Pro (I am that kind of person) clearly has very different requirements.

PS. At least in my case, support for ECC memory, while nice-to-have, doesn't make up for the above.
My journey thus far? Well, I'm only 20. I have a full time job as a software engineer making a fairly high salary. (College dropouts ftw!) I'm about to buy my first house, too. Getting to this point in my life was fairly interesting. Lots of changes (from Mormon to agnostic, for example.)

Some accommodations? Well, I guess I have to put off some side project time to spend time with my SO. Sometimes I really have to force myself to do it even though I really want to to work on one of my projects.
If there's an atom there, it's a 1?
This doesn't make any sense.
So, Facebook will die because of its failure to embrace Mobile? What does that mean? Facebook has a fairly nice app.

Is Instagram the flagship example of the new model of companies? Well, guess who owns it.

Amazon won't die because of its lack of social features, it just not how their business model work, and they just keep growing

So, Will Siri replace Google? Guess where will Sire get the data from. And anyway, Google is doing a very nice job with Google Home and Google Assistant
I'm not sure how much they paid, though you might be able to find out through crunchbase or something similar.

I think the value it brings to Google is several-fold. I'm probably missing a few, but here's what comes to mind.

1- Brand: Google seems very data scientist friendly. Data scientists will want to use Google technologies because Google is the 'data science' company.

2- Information on trends: Are data scientists suddenly spending a lot of time working in some language, or abandoning another? Are the Kaggle forums overflowing with a lot of Tensorflow related ML problems? Google could use this information to know what decisions to make (bonus: the people who'd curate and analyze the information are probably data scientists).

3- Promote/amplify: Google can hawk the crap out of Google related data science products to that market. And Google can probably provide GCP credits to registered Kaggle users, so that they can spin up their own little server, run their models, and get accustomed to using GCP in the process.

Those are just some thoughts. They likely have even better plans!
I do strict calorie counting. I cook most of what I eat and do volumetric estimation on the rare days I eat out.
Food for thought

Most teachers in my wife's school do not buy any materials and do without. They go all year with the initial batch of materials the department sends them (which is a small quantity).

I used to work in EdTech and the situation in many other states is similar. In fact, I know certain big companies who will not even give some districts the time of day because they know any time spent there is wasted. That's how the next generation is being educated.
MEC in fact now charge 20 CAD to have a "life warranty" backpack repaired, or give a rebate on a new one, and sure enough they break earlier and earlier.
Not quite, because it is computationally infeasible to brute-force a pre-image on MD5.

I don't see how Roe v Wade contradicts the claim that "having children" is "considered good". Roe v Wade is about abortion, i.e. a situation that applies to unwanted pregnancy, something we are not discussing in this thread. When we say "having children", I thought it is understood that we are talking about planned/wanted pregnancy with planned parenthood.
Sweet potatoes aren't even closely related to standard potatoes though. They are related to a morning glory where as standard potatoes are related to the tomato.

You should apply this to png optimization. A combination of: optipng, pngout, pngcrush, DeflOpt, advpng.

It's a bit more complicated since you have to also vary the command line arguments you pass to the program. (Different color types can sometimes help, as can different filters.)
This website is a piece of shit. It autostarts a second video off screen even after I swatted the first one that popped on the right, covering the text of the article.
No, I was implying that people invoke "political correctness" in an effort to pretend to be Free Speech Martyrs when they are just being obnoxious. This is generally done in circumstances when neither version of the statement is in any real danger of being suppressed, but invoking "political correctness" gives a thrill of posturing as if you are in imminent danger of getting shut down by a cabal of "academic feminazis" or some such. Like the GP of your post, you have also clearly been 'triggered' to share your uncontroversial but irrelevant statements on free speech by keywords alone.
I still don't understand what your point was or how it was relevant to what I originally wrote, and you haven't seen fit to explain.

Haha, nice try.

No, it should embarrass the entire US public.

CIA is not some autonomous entity, its actions directly relate to the will and wants of the US government. People are not going to stand by and clap as their text editors are wiretapped. Note: I noticed the homing behavior when using it in wine, so I switched to PSPad.

I think it's best to think "distributed computer program" when you hear "smart contract" in relation to blockchain-based code. The initial decentralized applications that will be built on blockchains will not be trying to emulate legal contracts. They will rather be focusing on things like a decentralized Dropbox, fully decentralized messaging, decentralized social networking, etc... You can make a separate argument about whether those things will succeed or not, yet they are certainly not legal code. Nick Szabo invented the term "smart contract" and his favorite example is a vending machine: you put money in, it gives you what you ask for.

I've seen a number of programs/discussions about black people in tech on HN.

I remember reading this particular blog entry via HN:
https://blog.devcolor.org/on-being-a-black-man-42ecb7946fe0

The disparity you're talking about could be because there are more women in tech (just underrepresented in C-level roles or whatever it might be) likely to speak up, whereas black people are underrepresented in tech full stop?
I'm currently sitting on the train, keeping up :) soon I will be home with my kids, then they will go to bed, and I'll hack on something. Or skill up on DOTA2..... either or :) tomorrow I'll be back on the train in the morning skilling up.
That might change with AMD's new chips.
An unknown quantity somewhere in the middle.
There is no reason for me to buy this. Laptops like this have a very specific valid use case which is people that travel all the time and want to play video games. If you are not traveling all the time and want to play video games buying a desktop and a laptop will likely give you a better experience in both aspects and could potentially be less expensive.
And for those like me, who don't know either of those things, can you please translate into bytes?

> "... Those who drank coffee instead of alcohol began the day alert and stimulated, rather than relaxed and mildly inebriated, and the quality and quantity of their work improved … Western Europe began to emerge from an alcoholic haze that had lasted for centuries.”

That's quite a claim. So did prior high-tech civilizations have equivalents? Tea in China, of course. But others?
I'd like to understand fashion a little more. On the one hand many people in fashion are left of center, on the other hand they push people to buy _new_ clothes every season --a very wasteful and unproductive strategy. So they go cheaper and more disposable resulting in ultimately more waste. I'm seeing people begin to buy things like farmers do, more expensive but more durable -is not as fashionable.

I don't understand the choice of profession knowing it's one of the industries most oriented toward disposable products and built in obsolescence, aside from toilet paper and nappies/diapers.
Let us take it case by case.

Case 1: Have a child. Take care of the child until the child is an adult. It has an irreversible effect on one's lifestyle and schedule. Even after the child has grown up, the parent and the child are still emotionally bonded to varying degree.

Case 2: Have a child. Put the child up for adoption. Once the child is adopted, two cases emerge.

Case 2.1: The adoption lasts life long, thus being irreversible by definition.

Case 2.2: The adoption is reversed, thus bringing the biological parent back to Case 1 and thus facing the irreversible effects of Case 1.

Thus, in all cases, having a child has 100% probability of having life long effects.

I am honestly unable to understand if you are arguing for argument's sake or if you are genuinely trying to make a point. I think most people would agree that issues like having a child or putting a child up for adoption has a 100% probability of serious irreversible effect on one's schedule, lifestyle and emotions than something like high-risk physical activity which has less than 100% of probability of such an irreversible effect.

If you read my post, I said I was in favor of this as long as it doesn't burden income earners. Some degree of health care and education are basic human rights in my opinion.

If you want everyone to have the "Cadillac" health plan and education plan, you need to tell me how society will pay for it? And lets talk sustainable plans .. no more kicking down the can to our kids and grand kids.

Finally, to all the negative commentators on my post, please read up on the difference between wealth and income. At current rents, factoring current child care costs, lack of pensions and existing tax rates, someone who makes 200K in California is worse off than someone who owns a detached house in Mountain View and a few other properties (by virtue of being here from the Orchard days), and then hides his/her income. I've seen too many people like that at this point in my life. Enough is enough.
This seems like a PR-based defensive move to me, rather that one rooted in principle.

This practice has been known for some time (the recent news is not new at all) and has been used to prevent drivers from being caught up in the regulation battles by taking fake fares. This move makes drivers' experience worse.

It seems inconsistent for Uber to maintain their position when it comes to undermining/circumventing taxi monopoly laws and also make this move.

Is there a broader context or principle that can explain this in a way consistent with Uber's values?
This is a really good point and shows how hard it is to gather data on the subject.

I certainly don't expect everyone to write a blog post about it, but I would encourage people to tell their stories. Otherwise, we just have more and more hearsay.

In this case, HR will work to prevent a very expensive lawsuit. I've seen HR help victims of sexual harassment many times.

But without more people speaking up, things will never get better.
You'll have to check the math but how about something like:

"Modern processors can process more instructions in a month than there are seconds in the age of the universe."

Both Intel and AMD have processors which can process over 300,000 MIPS [1], that's 300 billion IPS.

Universe age in seconds = (13,820,000,000 * 365 * 24 * 60 * 60) = 4.35828E+17

instructions per day = (300,000,000,000 * 24 * 60 * 60) = 2.592E+16

Universe age in seconds / instructions per day = ~16.8 days to process as many instructions as there have been seconds

The funny thing about the software I wrote is that you can have it do that too. You just need to define what a minifier is. I do permit command line parameters.

>> The second part of the problem is societal: women are discouraged from pursuing higher-paying jobs by society. This isn't the fault of the women themselves

> I really think that point of view is both wrong and harmful.

> It's true that society influences people in various ways. But you're assuming that what men do is the "default", and so if women do it less, they are discouraged.

Additionally, it seems implicit in the GP's POV that money (or higher pay) is necessarily the better end goal, rather than caring for others or improving society. What if money isn't the most appropriate proxy of value and worth?

(And to be clear, I wouldn't agree with using that to "whitewash" paying someone less because "their pay should be their enjoyment")
By Dad once told me that the smoking section was the right side of the plane. I think that is hilarious.
How fucking convenient that their timeline of examples ends in 2012, a year before Aaron Swartz committed suicide.

In a different way, it is rather interesting that Occupy Wall Street (2011) didn't make the cut.
Can we please have a higher standard of truth than a Reddit comment, especially one that doesn't cite any sources? I am not saying the linked comment is wrong but why should I believe it over anything else?
I agree. Why are we so focused on whether women make less than men? Wouldn't quality of life be a better metric?

To say women are discouraged from taking higher paying positions takes away a woman's agency. Perhaps they made an educated decision?
Rolling start, obviously.
As someone who travels regularly between countries and likes to game, this is really the only option for me (MSI gaming laptops et al have in my experience been absolutely trash in terms of durability). An mITX case albeit very small compared with traditional desktops, just doesn't have the portability this provides.

In saying that, I'll wait 6 months and watch the price ease, decent reviews to roll in and the kinks to be worked out.
Agree. Maybe I'm not the target market, but it seems like it's charging a lot of money for not a lot of value.

Maybe I'm lucky that I live within walking distance of a grocery store, but I'd be hard pressed to pay anything more than $5 for someone to drive my groceries to me. I could afford to pay for it, but if I kept that mentality my finances would die the death of a thousand papercuts.
Bad drinking water IS the end of the world. Nonchalant cliches like this make the right to drink clean and clear water seem like something that is mostly fairly applied throughout the world.
How can you say that? When an arbitrary law creates artificial markets and restricts the choices of consumers, you really think that prices aren't affected?

> My point is that high-quality OOP code typically adheres to the rules of Monads.

Last I checked, there are only three laws: left/right identity and associativity, and they are just algebraic laws that have nothing to do with your code being “good” or “bad”. Or do you have some other meaning of “rules of monads” in mind?

Furthermore, every higher-order strict language is already monadic, without you having to do anything special. Thus, monads aren't opt-in, or even opt-out; they're there whether you like it or not. This monadic structure permeates the language, regardless of whether you write “good” or “bad” programs in it. For more info, see here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13823145

You're right about scale, but I think forgetting that the model training is on very different hardware than what production web and storage servers use.

Unless the have the need for dedicated GPU hardware at scale paying by compute unit still makes the best business sense.

Real estate is expensive in CA precisely because of Prop 13.
In order to switch to a property tax revenue model you need to repeal Prop 13, at which point real estate prices and thus prospective revenue will plummet.

Prop 13 incentivizes homeowners to stay put until they die. In other words, it puts tremendous downward pressure on the housing supply which results in a self-reinforcing feedback loop whereby the more real estate prices grow the greater the tax incentive to stay put.

Changing this state of affairs is near impossible. Nobody is going to trade increased mobility and a more efficient housing market for a precipitous drop in the paper value of their primary asset, even though on the whole it'd probably be better for everybody.

Why precipitous? Because locking in, under Prop 13, your first year property valuation is a huge part of the calculus for determining affordability and your bidding price. If a new home owner doesn't get the benefit of Prop 13, he's going to pay far less for a house. Which means you can't even ease California out of the cycle by grandfathering existing homeowners in the hopes of avoiding their ire.

Repealing Prop 13 just isn't politically viable. It's a fascinating state of affairs.
Not only it is off-center but those mechanical switches seem to have attracted quite a lot of criticism.

To me a low-quality keyboard is a deal breaker, much more so than a less-than-perfect trackpad, because if you don't like the trackpad you can always carry a small, portable mouse while if you don't like the keyboard you don't really have a solution.
I am sure the numbers are way off, but not sure only the microcode one is. My suspicion is that against most non-intelligence targets, the DLL injection approach is quite unlikely to be found out either, at least once the initial intrusion has been accomplished. In both cases, the implants will likely only be detected if the machine in question is used to stage another attack or exfiltrate data over the network, in which case the level of the rootkit running on the host will matter very little for detection.

Admittedly, the best rootkits probably target the network equipment as well as the host.

At the host level, most organizations wouldn't be able to detect an unmasked trojan running as its own separate user process unless its signature was already known or its behavior caught by a blacklist-based IDS.
Once it has been recovered, how challenging is it to recycle a the first stage? If I recall correctly, the solid state boosters on either side of the space shuttle would get reused, too, if you went out and picked them after they fell into the ocean.

I recently got an alienware 15 R3 which has almost the same specs (1070 instead of 1080 and 16 instead of 32 gb RAM, but a higher resolution screen 4K) for $1400. Its thicker and heavier, but if your objection is cost, you can get the roughly the same for much cheaper. Just won't be as thin and light.

So, let's talk about the really basic case: calling people out for making racial slurs. If someone uses the n-word on my friend (or "faggot" or "jewed" or "gypped" or what have you), then me saying to that person, "Please don't say a mean, racist thing like that," fights against racism, by helping enforce a social norm that racism is not okay.

How would you recommend handling a situation like that? How would you work to stop a racist behavior, without making someone feel uncomfortable for doing it?
But clearly the "it's stimple, just fix it" approach isn't effective at improving the overall health of a population.

I honestly don't care at all about the overall health of the population. I really don't. Not that I wish them any ill-will, but I can't even begin to muster up the slightest bit of care for people I don't know ruining their lives because they eat too much or smoke. It's just not even on my radar.

I realise I'm not supposed to admit this, but I also realise I'm not the only one who thinks it.

I've experienced the opposite before.. after having a smoothie with probably 5 bananas in it, I was hungry a couple of hours afterwards. Probably due to the sugar content.

I don't think this makes banana smoothies healthy either. Just things like congee, or like... blending steak and veggies into a drinking cup, or something.
