What? WP was certainly not the first cms/blogging tool, not even the first to reach mainstream popularity. Blogger was arguably the first offering "blogging for non-nerds", Movable Type was the first to reach critical mass among nerds, and the very first "blog engine" was probably Manila. WP wasn't even the first to have plugins, although it was probably the best implementation yet (and one of the main reasons behind its success). If you extend the search to generic CMS engines, there is also stuff like PhpNuke, Plone and the other "portal-like" tools which are even older.

I have fine desktop environments without 3D. Maybe I'm just totally old-school, but I've never even felt the need for 3D on physical machines. But then, I use VMs mainly with VPN chains and Tor, for isolation and compartmentalization. If I really needed a 3D desktop environment, I'd use a dedicated box, and route through whatever anonymization path needed, using another box as multi-VM router.
What you find here is that Uber drivers are often also Taxi drivers for the smaller taxi companies, an Uber call comes in and they put their signage in their boot, in between Uber jobs they put the signage back on and sit at a taxi stand.

Local knowledge is important though, roads change more frequently than maps are updated, and here at least a lot of street names and suburbs are not in English - someone who is not from the city would struggle to enter in the names of streets and suburbs and might end up on the other side of town before they know it.
Uber is breaking the anti-dumping laws there. Fixing price to be cheaper than local taxis and burning money. That's unfair.
You know Africa is a continent with 1.2B people on it, right? Dozens of countries, thousands of cultures.

Soft skills is often a way of dancing around saying that charisma matters. Can you teach your child to be more attractive? People focus on hard sciences, math, and complex skills (like proficiency with a musical instrument) precisely because they are the areas where training matters. In the same way that instilling good eating habits and making sure your child exercises are important. Focusing on "creativity" is often just how people who suck at math and aren't particularly athletic or beautiful tell themselves that they've special too. Gonna really go full creative artist type? Then college is a waste.
That's not what I was talking about. I stand by my comment, and you just made my point stronger.
Have you ever used VBoxManage?
Yes, if you link dynamically, you are generally okay with just sending your executables.

If you link statically, you also have to make your object code available for relinking if needed. But that generally comes down to doing something like "ar q libMyApp.a *.o" and then the user would make the app with "gcc -o MyApp libMyApp.a -lQtWhatever".

If you distribute as some package (like .apk for android), you'd have to make it possible for user to change the library. Simply allowing users to download .apk files would make it work, since they can unzip them, change the library and rezip them back.

So, I wouldn't really call those "limitations". Just pesky things you have to do if making a commercial app with lgpl lib.

Oh, and there is no requirement to link with a newer version of the library, to the best of my knowledge. That's generally impossible since newer versions might (and do) deprecate features that were available in the older versions.

An alternative view on history: Facebook succeeded because the competitors failed to scale.

Do you remember MySpace? The big social network with hundreds of million of users that came before facebook.

They had massive scaling and performance issues. At the peak when everyone was moving to social media (almost a decade ago) the site could take an entire minute to load (if loading at all). They lost a lot of users, who went straight to facebook and never recovered.

This is the real problem: lack of in-house expertise and ongoing incentives to maintain performance, while contractors are usually paid for features and, if they also do hosting, even have a financial disincentive for efficiency.

Your argument - "accept an unjust law or leave" -
applies equally well to all sorts of laws.

Of course it doesn't. I don't doubt you are well aware a law you consider unjust because it causes human beings to be grossly mistreated is entirely different from a law you consider unjust because it makes it hard for companies to enter a specific national market and are just making a disingenuous, trollish, argument. Morality is not black and white and two things you consider 'unjust' are not comparable merely because you can find a single word that you believe describes them both.

And if you really are not aware of such differences, then you're an asshole and for the sake of society and those around I hope you learn about the difference.

> Let Uber burn itself to the ground!

They may cause great havoc on their way down. Some jurisdictions are anticipating this and banning Uber preemptively.

This is rational. Let Uber prove that it's viable on someone else's turf. If it does so, then great, the laws can be changed and Uber can be admitted into the market later. If it turns out to be a total disaster then these jurisdictions have saved themselves a lot of trouble.
I apologize for the confusion from my report. I intended it for people expert in their field with very little ML or DL expertise.

I am also guilty of focusing on my research but I am called upon frequently by others in DoD who are interested in applying DL to their problem.

I agree with jph00 who states he has seen non-ML experts successfully apply ML and get good results. So I wrote this report to give general/universal advice, even though it won't always apply and won't solve all their problems.

I think that your point is wrong.

How is that in any way related to what I wrote?

It didn't help that OS2/2.0 actually had higher system requirements than Windows 95. And a higher price.

OS2/2.0 required a 386 with 8M memory.
Windows 95 only required 4M memory.

In practice of course Windows 95's real competition was OS2 Warp after a year or so, and it was even less of a competition. OS2, incidentally would barely run on 8M ram. It was ... workable, but with WordPerfect open in windows 3.0 with a large document, it was not enjoyable. In practice OS2 required 12M memory. Windows 95 with 4M ram was very slow to start, but once started it ran WordPerfect quite acceptably on 4M RAM.

It's not quite as bad as those people wondering how windows could possibly have beat the superior unix. Problem is that, like with OS2, windows was quite superior to Unix and OS2 in features available to end users, and the price for those. It provided far more value (things you could do with your pc) for any price. Unless you were developing compilers, perhaps. When comparing value for money, Windows won by a landslide. OS2 and Unix were superior in theoretical and academic features.

And today, the reverse is true. Windows actually is a microkernel with message passing. It's not as tiny as something like L4, but it's much smaller than Linux. Microsoft was much more on-point when it came to what the market needed. Today, windows has the academically "superior" kernel. And it matters about as much today as it mattered in 1995.

I see a great degree of superficiality in all comments. These seismologists [1] were convicted for breaking the Italian law, period. That the law that allows to jail seismologists for not predicting earthquakes could be improved is a completely different matter. In Italy there are precise rules regarding how to warn people of earthquakes and these scientists have violated them. This is why they're in prison. The sentence even states this explicitly: that the duty of the magister is to apply the current law and not the enter in the merits of how it could be improved for the benefit of the people. Did anybody read the sentence before commenting?

Scientists have also been put to prison in Russia and North Korea, and I haven't seen any similar comments here. I would be very curious to understand why.

> In countries where Uber is allowed, I can pick between a nice, clean car with a friendly driver or an old crappy vehicle with a grumpy, smelly driver

Or a train, or a bus, or a hire-bike (or your own bike). Taxis aren't the only competition for many Uber journeys - pretty much anywhere in London, for example.

Given that governments often invest heavily in trains, buses and bike-hire schemes, which all in their own way contribute to more liveable cities, there is an additional incentive not to let Uber dump on the wider transport market.

I think some of them might have been involved in miniSQL but it's a long time ago and my memory is hazy now :-)

I was working for an ISP at the time and responsible for a gTLD, my project was called DNSQL, it was as you can imagine a DNS server backed by MySQL so we could edit it with SQL statements rather than manipulating the zonefiles in Perl or sed... Relational constraints and transactions would have made my job a lot easier... A few years later I inherited a 2Tb MyISAM database, which was "fun".
I got into an ivy league college. I was homeschooled. I had no diploma, just a GED and good but not exceptional SAT scores.

I wrote my entrance essay on digging in the dirt. Maybe I got lucky. I think that AP classes, and extracurricular activities are like being a Stanford grad when applying at a big tech company. They are a way for hiring managers/admissions officers to avoid bad outcomes not to optimize for good ones.
I think you're missing the forest for the trees. Uber is a special case. I very much doubt that if Uber begins to jack up prices another multi-billion $ funded startup will come along and re apply the Uber playbook against Uber. And even if it did, the turmoil this would cause would be against the best interests of the general public.
> MySQL works fine if you chiefly interact with your DB through an ORM or using basic queries.

I ran into an issue [1] with MariaDB a year and a half ago: 'SELECT * FROM table' failed to return a large fraction of the rows of that table. Selecting them in a number of different queries with ranges of ids worked fine. Nothing fancy, no transactions, on an idle database. I might have been unlucky, but I will pick PostgreSQL over MySQL/MariaDB any day if I have the choice. Having had a cursory look at the MariaDB source code and a more in-depth look at the PostgreSQL source code confirms that preference.

There is a similar argument with regard to making code reusable. I have seen inordinately complex code come from a desire to make it reusable, even if the prospects for it being reused were slim to nonexistent.

>> You can do a lot with 244 GB RAM machines

Is this a typo of "244 GB" instead of "24 GB"? Nearly any company that has a single machine provisioned with 244 GB of RAM is doing something severely wrong, likely putting the company's ability to grow at risk. Such a machine screams of trying to vertically scale a poorly performing legacy product instead of figuring out to horizontally scale out with 16-64 GB servers.

That much memory on a single server is a huge red flag for 95-99%+ of companies. It takes a very specialized system (ie: you probably don't fit the mold, no matter what your excuses are) to require such a server.
