Yes - and no. Flow can express some really complex types that were previously only possible in much more esoteric (or modern) languages. Types as many people know them from Java, C#, etc., are more mature (aka fewer bugs), but far less powerful.

For example:

The utility types in https://flow.org/en/docs/types/utilities/ can be used to great effect to express things like "A type of the keys of T, but values passed through this function" or "A type that is the difference of these two maps".

In practice, this helps me write things like React Components that take some of their props from the root store via context, and the rest of their props directly, and for Flow to actually know which is which just by reading the code (no explicit typedefs!), override root store props as needed (so long as I don't change their types), and throw a type error if I miss or misdefine one. Awesome.
They are, to some extent at least, depending on what browsers you need to support. You have to set *-appearance: none and build the styles back up.

What an interesting thought!!

It led me to another: you know how AI can imitate painting styles? Well, perhaps an AI could also figure out a style, by itself (i.e. given constraints, but no style to follow.) i.e. it figures out a new one! But which has a novel effect, on humans and as judged by a computer. Once we have been shown the style, humans could improve by starting to use that! We might like the effect, be able to judge that it is good, but just never saw that way before.

Imagine if AI had invented pointillism, impressionism, cubism, etc! Imagine if it figures out the next "global optimum" from putting splotches of paint down, showing human artists a new way to see. Wow.
What Does Agile Mean and Why Do You Need It? A Guide in 15 Pictures
When I worked upon software for the oil industry for the building of oil rigs. The whole aspect of testing and insurance was very much key and Llyods of London have dedicated inspectors who would inspect and sign of parts as and when completed and without them, no insurance could be offered.

So for large scale key area's you will find that insurance/reinsurance companies have more than actuaries giving values to a risk. It is in their interest after all, more so when large sums of money are equally at risk of theirs.

AS for driving standards, yes, it happens. Though in some cases it happens after the horse has bolted.

For example in the UK ALL insurance has a premium added to it to cover people who have high-risk properties subject to flooding and with many houses built upon flood planes in the 80's with low regard to risk of flooding than they should, then it is a sticky plaster solution that fixes a legacy issue that we all end up paying for.
That is the concern with IoT and I do fear that a solution that see's everybody paying the premium to cover the issues of the past, will transpire either directly or indirectly.
The first bullet point under the Supported Features section in the readme states that it works on any Lua that provides a bit manipulation library. I know LuaJIT comes with one, and Lua 5.3 comes with bitwise operators, so those could be wrapped up into a compatible module.
well the lawsuits that Barclays and others are facing seem to indicate there was rather more harm than that. One example, from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libor_scandal

"Early estimates are that the rate manipulation scandal cost US states, counties, and local governments at least $6 billion in fraudulent interest payments, above $4 billion that state and local governments have already had to spend to unwind their positions exposed to rate manipulation."
Real Estate Market Showing Support Despite Interest Rate Hike
I believe that we should look at this in a very different way. I frankly have no issues with remote updates and I don't think most people will have issue with the core of the idea as well. Why would they? This is more convenient than doing upgrade via USB and it is more secure in the long run.

But what I have issues with (and I think everyone else) is that I do not know if the upgrade is either not compromised or if it adheres to the same contact that I signed for - i.e. not to sniff my data and do other things I did not buy into.

Hence why, it will be a huge innovation if somebody can come up with a way of proving that software work as intended. Then the contact is the software and not the the TOS and I can use other software to verify that the software adheres to the contact I bought into.

I am sure we will reach to that level of sophistication one day.

There is something else that I would like to add as well. The idea of having your camera hooked on a cloud solution only works today because frankly we have a technology problem. Most people will not run their own data caters and the only convenient way of hook up your iPhone to have a continuous data stream is by signing up for a cloud service.

However, I think that will change soon as well. The first company (probably Amazon) which makes cloud technology seamless, i.e. consumers do not think about it, will revolutionise the market for IoT because you no longer have to rely on someone else's infrastructure that you would not trust - obviously you need to trust your cloud provider :) but cloud could be much as ISP - something that most people will sign up for.

I can't stress this enough: learn how to cook tofu. I held off on being a vegetarian so long because I had a bad tofu experience, but I eat it 2-3 times a week now and I've grown to prefer over chicken. Fry it, braise it, bake it... there are a lot of options. Mushrooms are a similar story.

My diet is primarily: Rice, beans, tofu, mushrooms, and various greens. I've never really been a salad person, and even as a vegetarian that's still generally true.

> you are passing the buck when you act like it's my personal responsibility to fix the ills of the world

Where did I say it was your responsibility _alone_ to "fix the ills of the world"? What I said was we are all, collectively, responsible. Myself included. I also said industry exists to serve our consumption. This is me accepting my responsibility not me passing the buck.
Depends on the price range.

I'm looking at the LG E6 or Samsung KS8000 (which in the UK is the equivalent of the US KS9000) which are 2016 models, or the LG B7/C7 and Samsung Q7F series (2017 models).

One thing to note is that the OLEDs are seriously expensive. The smallest of the high-end ones run at £3k for a 55" set.
One of the things that bothers me the most about the United States is the ubiquity of "ass-in-seats" thinking. Somehow, the appearance of sacrifice (commuting two hours a day and being there at 9) means much more than the results you deliver in many companies.

It should be "smart work," not "hard work." Hard implies it's all just the transfer of energy--what seems to excite MBAs--when all that should matter is delivering results. Isn't that what capitalism is supposed to be?

This release does, yes. The actual emulation of the system is straight Lua and does not require Löve at all. You could run the emulator completely headless (as I was pestering zeta to do during development for testing), but there's not yet a headless driver. This also means that you just have to provide the hooks for drawing/sound/input/file IO to give it a different front end. Löve is what was used because it's what we're familiar with.

But the truth is you have to work hard at the next thing, not the current thing.
They don't have to be big monumental conflicts or fuckups or whatever. And yeah, you should totally have a pre-canned answer. It can be something minor; "I once spent a lot of time implementing feature X, and then I realized I could have just done feature Y in a quarter of the time." Or, "Bob wanted to build X, and I thought Y would be better, so we disagreed about it, and ultimately Z." (And make sure the story doesn't end in, "and I was super wrong.")

2. Hmm, I keep reading things saying that vegetarian diets can be healthy for people with diabetes. Even on the official American Diabetes association website [1]. But if it truly isn't then it is a special case.

3. I agree that shame and embarrassment is not a good way to persuade people. However, there are lots of genuinely good things about a vegetarian diet that people might want to think about.

[1] http://www.diabetes.org/food-and-fitness/food/planning-meals... -
"A vegetarian diet is a healthy option, even if you have diabetes. Research supports that following this type of diet can help prevent and manage diabetes. In fact, research on vegan diets has found that carbohydrate and calorie restrictions were not necessary and still promoted weight loss and lowered participants.

"Vegan diets are naturally higher in fiber, much lower in saturated fat, and cholesterol-free when compared to a traditional American diet. The high fiber in this diet may help you feel full for a longer time after eating and may help you eat less over all. When fiber intake is greater than 50 grams per day on a vegan diet, it may help lower blood glucose levels.

"This diet also tends to cost less. Meat, poultry, and fish are usually the most expensive foods we eat."

The criticism of artificial intelligence in making decisions in lieu of human judgement often pits the process against an impossible ideal that doesn't exist and likely could not exist.

For instance, some research suggests that judges are a lot less likely to grant parole before lunch. The theory is that no parole would be the default no-brainer decision a judge can make, which makes sense. [0]

The fact is that many decisions are made by humans with, at best slight personal bias and at worst malice.

With a systematic AI approach you can be somewhat confident that the decisions made are based on a wide range of experience, optimizing for an agreed upon objective (e.g. likelihood of reoffense). It's not perfect but it's better and can improve a lot easier without the need to villainize individuals

Typing the technical interview
Overpaid relative to what? Your estimation of perceived value? What do you define as value? How would you even begin to empirically establish what you're saying?

Executive compensation is a construct of market consensus, not an absolute based on individual performance. The tangible value contributed by chief executive staff is one component of the compensation package, and what is valuable to the board or shareholders in aggregate may be utterly dissimilar to what you'd consider valuable. Your premise in why an executive should be paid is probably different from the premises used by those who actually choose what the executive will be paid.

The difficulty in finding an appropriate candidate, the risk of their having to publicly "fall on the sword" for the company, their contributed value, their particular skills/culture match, their years of experience, their network of available connections, etc all play a part in determining the compensation. And what's more, you may not measure each of these things with the same respective weighting or definition that the company would.

This is to say that you can arbitrarily say that executives as a class are overpaid, and I can arbitrarily say they're underpaid. You're free to propose a new compensation model, but for better or worse, most boards and shareholders seem fine with the status quo. Given that, it's not very productive to make a blanket statement about them being over or under-compensated if we can't establish that we're all working from the same set of premises.

You'd have about as much rigor in claiming that TSLA is overvalued relative to GM. Sure, you might be right, but 1) why listen to you rather than, say Zacks and 2) what makes your model of compensation more valid, when you have to surmount the burden of not just correctness but market consensus?

Moving up the economic ladder relies on more than self-motivation; it also requires opportunity.

IMHO, they also forgot to list an important factor: IQ

http://greyenlightenment.com/paul-graham-economic-inequality...

The trend, I predict, is that wealth inequality will become almost the same as IQ inequality. IQ is more much important today than a generation ago in influencing individual economic outcomes. 100 years ago in an economy dominated by manual labor, the difference between a 90 IQ and 120 IQ wasn’t that important, but now it is.

https://www.psychologicalscience.org/news/minds-business/is-...

When Belsky and colleagues analyzed measures of genetic variation and educational attainment, they found a link: A high polygenic score—an aggregate measure of variation across a person’s genome—predicted not only educational attainment, but other forms of success as well.

But even 'work ethic' may be a function of innate traits. Biology plays a bigger role than many social scientists may want to admit. Biology, especially as it pertains to IQ, is still the 'third rail' of the social sciences.

The solution will probably mean more social safety net spending, but making average Americans feel like they are contributing will be even more difficult. Post-scarcity does not answer the problem of existential fulfillment, changing social values, etc.
Okay, I think we're in agreement and are just crossing wires a but. The main reason i'm loosely okay with Semantic UI is that I just see it as using HTML fragments as building blocks rather than using JavaScript components. I wouldn't advocate it for anything elaborate, but I think it can work well within a certain problem space.

The Hue Bridge connects an IP network to a ZigBee network. That component emulates the IP side: it accepts IP commands for lights and translates them to Home Assistant devices. That's handy if you have something like an Amazon Echo that knows how to communicate via Hue's IP protocol.

What I believe you are describing would require a ZigBee radio and support for the ZigBee Light Link protocol (or maybe ZigBee Home Automation?). Luckily, there's a PR being worked on to support that in Home Assistant: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/6263
I'm a believer in hard work pays off. I grew up poor, in projects (government housing) as a child in what must be one of the worst cities and regions in America (Port Arthur, TX). Lived in a normal house in middle school and high school in the same area, then got out of there around age 20. Then spent years doing almost nothing but working a full time job through my undergrad and grad school and studying every day. Also programmed on the side for people who found me through my website. After finishing up grad school, Amazon found me through that same website of mine. There was a lot of luck in there, but I believe hard work has paid off for me in ways I never imagined.

I guess my point is, if not for hard work, I'm certain I'd still be in that same area where each day is a struggle.
This matches my experience. Deja vu is not something I remember from a past event, but from something happening right at the moment. If I understand the article correctly, and a candidate theory for deja vu encountered on Wikipedia, this might make sense.

I think the theory is that occasionally there are slight issues with the timing/synchronization of the memory being stored in certain parts of the brain. Since the research shows that memories are written twice, if such a desync occurred, maybe deja vu is some perception of disagreement between short and long term memories?

For some reason, I find the experience of deja vu somehow quite ... pleasing. I am not sure if this is true for everyone.
