14 Essential Firefox Add-Ons for Developers and Designers
Care to share links to those labs' websites/relevant papers? I'm a deep learning researcher, and I've been noticing this gap that you mentioned between the DL community and what everyone else in AI is doing, and think it might be worthwhile trying to bridge that gap.
I built a self-driving car, and am launching a VR-based startup. Figured I should chime in here.

I personally don't see much opportunity for people to get involved directly with autonomous vehicles, from a tech/development standpoint. The vast majority of work is focused on highly specialized subsets of development. Computer vision, embedded systems, network infrastructure, cellular networks, robotics, artificial intelligence, yada yada yada. The only meaningful work being done right now, is mostly by engineers with Masters, Doctorate, or post-Doctorate level education in niche fields.

Personally, I don't have that kind of educational background. I still managed to piece together everything to make a working prototype, but there is not a snowball's chance in hell that I would be able to contribute anything into this field.

Not to say it's useless, though. This is about to unlock a need for UI designers/developers on a level that is hard to fathom. Sit down and think for a while about what the hell people are going to be doing, while being chauffeured around. Entertainment options (Netflix, Youtube, News, etc.) will be in massive demand. Gaming of all different kinds (especially multiplayer experiences, that involve the vehicle's environment.) Advertising as a whole. (And goddamn do I wish I could be an investor in PornHub right now.)

While Oculus, HTC, Microsoft, etc. all have (or will soon have) consumer-ready products available for the VR market, I still feel like this technology is barely entering it's infancy stage. The financial barrier to entry is holding back 98% of the world from getting into it (for now). There isn't enough meaningful content beyond some decent games. (Once again, goddamn do I wish I could be an investor in PornHub right now.) For the most part, still tethered to a computer (or using a watered-down phone-based experience). It's cool tech for sure, but it doesn't feel (to me, at least) like anyone has really figured out what the hell to do with it yet.

3D development isn't terribly different than any other kind of development. A few more thoughts and considerations, but still the same principles of traditional console/pc game development. WebVR (and ReactVR) are still just a novelty. Because of the sheer scale and intricacy of most 3D environments, and my own predictions of an explosive growth pattern in this industry, I'm thinking that some form of automation (A.I., etc.) will have to be taking over most of the grunt work for development. Thinking that most dev roles are going to evolve into mostly architect roles, and that the real need is going to be for UI/UX (particularly thought leaders, as opposed to designers).
I am fine with using computers, mobile devices, VR/AR, etc. as long as I have the ability to disconnect and walk away, fix or replace.

> On the other hand, maybe people aren't actually that bothered about which particular ride company they use

Which is indeed the case here. Why people would prefer one to another? Cheaper, or more drivers or both. Brand? Simply don't care, and Uber at this point has a notorious one. If there is demand (from both drivers and riders), I guess it take several months short to fill in the void Uber has left there.

I think ride-hailing service is meant for local companies to excel(public relations, better communication with government and compliance with regulator), Uber simply cannot enjoy the level of monopoly Google and Facebook have, because at its heart, it is not a tech-driven business.
What is really remarkable about this is that the current minister of transport is a huge supporter of Uber, and his party have again and again explicitly promulgated their support for the company and their business model.

So it is a huge failure for Uber that they couldn't stay in the Danish marked, even with partial endorsement of the Danish government. The problem for Uber is that their business model is clearly illegal in Denmark, and so incompatible with Danish law that even a benign government can't help them.
The style used doesn't make sense, and defeats the usefulness of an assert error message.

I'm not sure if the chart entries labeled EU27 include the UK-born. Anyway, higher employment rates should be expected among immigrants who come to work; there are going to be few pensioners and probably fewer children among them than among the natives (as opposed to refugees who are primarily running away from something; hence the lower employment rates among non-EU immigrants).

I'm guessing since they just got rid of self checkout they're not gonna be doing that.

(I heard they got rid of it because of too many people sharing cards, and no cashier to check the picture. Seems like an easy thing to fix, but oh well.)
Can you elaborate? I don't think I got your point.

I'm intrigued by the difference between "understanding" a population, in aggregate, and having a fine-grained view of each individual while also knowing how each individual relates to the whole.

So, what might we learn about the galaxy if we knew what / where / when every single bright spot of star-ish size is, that we would not learn from an aggregated simulation? Rhetorical question, obviously.

I don't even know how many people live within 5km of me. How many are human-trafficked, held against their will? etc. We can make approximations, but there's a lot of interesting information at the margins.

DARPA exists because the military wants wizards working for it. The military often describes what units do as various parts of the spear, "tip of the spear" etc. Science is capable of not only producing a better spear, but changing the paradigm entirely.

In not even the most rabid fever dreams of generals would an army without science be capable of even a fraction of the capabilities of an army with.

- Armies fight on their stomachs - so science produced stay good food that lasts under any condition for years with special storage, comes in a variety of menus and even provides for hot menus without the use of fire [1]

- Soldiers need better tactical capabilities - so science let them see in the dark [2], become stronger [3], gave them perfect aim [4], gave them god-like ability to peel back the fog of war [5] and made them nearly indestructible [6][7]

- Generals needed more powerful options - so science created nuclear weapons [8], the ability to see from atop Mount Olympus[9][10], physics bending intelligence collection capabilities[11], ships that stay beneath the sea for months [12], combat aircraft that don't put the pilots at risk[13], and tanks that can survive in any condition [14], and soon the ability to harness energy to knock enemy munitions from the sky[15] or to through matter at many times the speed of sound using invisible forces[16]

This combat magnification extends to logistics, information processing, chemical warfare (and defense), biological warfare (and defense), intelligence collection and so on.

An equivalent force from the 19th century would be turned into pulp by a force from today. And our forces probably wouldn't even be in harms way during the major exchange.

Significantly advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, and scientists and engineers who develop it are the wizards of modern times. DARPA merely tries to give wizards a place to hone their craft. Sometimes their work leaks out in the public and we're touched by this magic to make the internet, or use GPS, safer food, make medicine more life saving and so on. Sometimes we're on the receiving end of dark magic and our cities get turned to dust.

APT29 Domain Fronting with TOR
Imagine a world where all the money from all countries was spent on the betterment of humankind. I think Bill Hicks had the right idea.
>On a platform that changes its rules on the fly, all the time.

Is there, or has there ever been, a platform that doesn't change the rules on the fly, all the time? I'm not talking about video alone. Tastes in comedy, music, film, and books change yearly. The requirements to become successful on any platform are always in flux and never totally clear. Survivorship bias abounds.

Also, I have very little sympathy for anybody making videos about gaming. Mindless drivel. If you can't keep up, it's because the market is saturated and your product or execution is not as good as your competitors.
IMHO the best 20th century novel in the English language: Brideshead Revisited. A cursory reading, or viewing of the TV series or recent film, can leave the misleading impression that it's a eulogy to aristocratic privilege. But that's because it wears its more profound themes so lightly. Those themes are life, love, the quest for happiness & acceptance, the nature of art, and the Catholic faith. As a work of apologetics it's extremely reticent; only Catholics will notice its Catholicity. All should read at a gentle pace to savour its wisdom. Some quotes...

“But I was in search of love in those days, and I went full of curiosity and the faint, unrecognized apprehension that here, at last, I should find that low door in the wall, which others, I knew, had found before me, which opened on an enclosed and enchanted garden, which was somewhere, not overlooked by any window, in the heart of that grey city.”

“To understand all is to forgive all.”

“... To know and love one other human being is the root of all wisdom.”

“Oxford, in those days, was still a city of aquatint. In her spacious and quiet streets men walked and spoke as they had done in Newman's day; her autumnal mists, her grey springtime, and the rare glory of her summer days - such as that day - when the chestnut was in flower and the bells rang out high and clear over her gables and cupolas, exhaled the soft airs of centuries of youth. It was this cloistral hush which gave our laughter its resonance, and carried it still, joyously, over the intervening clamour.”

And finally: "beware charm!"
Colombia is a highly regulated market but the taxi drivers manage to modify their fare meters to charge you more (either they are accelerated or they have a switch that makes it accelerate), they lie to you about the costs (if you are not from here hey can tell you a trip that is 18 is 35, like they tried on me). In fact, it is estimated that 80% or more of the taxis here would try to rob you. I agree that Uber goes against regulations, and their new dynamic fare is a steal on its own right, but the service is much more better than cabs.
The neocon (or alt-right, or whatever) attitude is that the planet is too massive and powerful for us to affect it. They believe that climate researchers and scientists have an agenda to push their liberal viewpoint about the world on people and control businesses that would otherwise prosper. The so-called "data" is - in the best case scenario - simply opinion, or - in the worst case scenario - faked. They believe that if you get rid of the "data", you can stop the liberals with their bullshit agenda.

And now one of their zealots is whispering in the ear of the President.
What's such important that Reddit provides?

Afaik a taxi-meter is an approved device, at least somewhat tamper-resistant. Smartphone + app + backend is none of these.

You have 'hackers' and the young code-me-a-website rockstars that are now also called 'hackers'. Those two groups have vastly different areas of interest.
What is the functional difference between 'deleted' and 'archived but not available for anyone to view' or is there one?
and taxi meters can be adulterated, uber cannot.
> If you put them in an empty room, you could instead easily picture the introvert being calm and the extrovert tense due to a lack of human interaction.

That is what I said. I guess my usage of the word "tension" is different.

> Being alone is then a way of reducing sensory input to produce a sense of calm, it's not that an introvert would need to be alone to relieve any inner tension.

Producing a sense of calm IS the work of relieving inner tensions. I think here lies our misunderstanding.

When I'm talking about inner "tension", I'm not talking about any form of visible or invisible stress. Just that there is something "going on". Thought, ideas, inner monologue, some kind of inner activity.

There are people who regularly experience prolonged periods without thoughts, idea, inner monologues etc. They are routinely able to access a state of mind which could be described as happily relaxed nothingness.
> Think of all the people you would find to be very culturally backwards

Not a lawyer, but I know you can force resellers to destroy patent infringing inventory. Not the same as being sued for damages, but ends your business model anyway.
How forcing them to add a fare meter is a sensible regulation?
You already can track the whole travel in Uber and it is FAR FAR better than having a fare meter.
In a foreign city I have no idea if the itinerary chosen by the driver is sensible or not and the fare meter for sure can't do anything in this regard.

"Nutrition" isn't an area of science. Dietetics is, and is a very firm and established field. A lot of the false claims and bad dietary advice come from Nutritionists, which (in the UK at least) isn't a protected term. Anyone can claim to be a Nutritionist, and Nutritionists aren't known for rigourous data.

It sounds like what you need is better public transport and taxi service. Around here they're both fine, if a bit less convineant than driving.
I suppose that "legitimate" here is used in the literal sense, as in "lawful" or "legal".

Unfortunately, these are the rules of the game. Small players may know this and plan accordingly. So when the inevitable happens, they may not like it but they don't need to hold a grudge to the company that did exactly as planned.

The only solution would be to change the rules.

The article you linked to (also a great read) seems to indicate that there was no contact or access to the cavern until they tried drilling into it a few years later to take readings, at which point they contaminated the local landscape. I'm kinda curious where these two years of cooling come into it.
