You don't need customers to "use AR to its full capacity" though. You need them to use one or two pieces of it enough to justify the device.

Sure, the early iterations might be more like Blackberry popularizing email-on-the-go for a small segment of the market. Not everybody needed that. But by now pretty much everyone has found at least one aspect of smartphones that they've come to depend on.

Does my mom use her smartphone to its full capacity? Certainly not! There are thousands of apps she's never even seen, some of which can do pretty great stuff! But she checks her email, organizes recipes, and takes pictures of her dog, and that's what she has the phone for.

Heck, I don't either. If anything I'm trying to use my phone for less stuff, but I'm still glad I have it.
Why not stay in Albuquerque then?

He and his cofounder both grew up in greater Seattle and the area is home to University of Washington, which has a top-ranked Computer Science program (right behind Berkley, CM, & MIT), making talent easy to find.
They all look to be within the same ballpark; none of those startup times would be a problem for me, at least. But when I tried Atom it was noticeably less responsive, which I have very little tolerance for. I haven't tried VS Code. (I also use Sublime)
I run Kubernetes on a 1-node cluster for development on my laptop (as do the rest of my team), and we scale up just fine to our 6-node staging and 9-node production cluster.
And the insurers, the people that move the real paintings around, the people that store the real ones and so on.

It's about as likely as a faked moonlanding. But then again, those too have their believers.
I think the problem here is that AI academics think of AI as predicting from factors. Most other people think of an AI as a program that can effectivly emulate human intellegence. The end goal of AI (or at least game AI) is to create as perfect of a facsimile for the way an average person will think. In reality there are no "best decitions", let alone in a simulated reality inhabited with different rules and AI.

When I play a game I want the AI to be as close to another human as possible. That's why many AIs are laughed at for being tricked by really simple tactics (circling around a pilar so the AI follows you, putting something between you and the AI so they can't see you like in Skyrim's buckets, etc.).
Hehe, small world. I think I saw your review of it on NewEgg earlier, thanks! :)
This reminds me of the Silicon Valley episode (S3E1) where Richard Hendricks was going to be in charge of an app for adding mustaches to people.
Hey, Jan here from the Relay team, happy to answer questions.
It doesn't need to be a specific provider, those were just examples. The idea is to have free traffic between Backblaze and someone that provides compute, so you can transform the data without fetching all of it. I suggested those in particular because I believe they're all in the SF bay area and should be present at one of Unwired's existing peering points.

The reason I can't see traffic just being straight free for everyone is that for Backblaze to make traffic free, it needs to make arrangements with the providers to reduce costs (for example by connecting directly rather than through the internet).
Indeed. I would suggest that you leave them immediately.
To piggyback on this:

MAD is a convenient fiction that politicians and the military use for political purposes. It has zero bearing on any actual military strategy because it is not a real scenario. There aren't enough strategic weapons in the world to bring about such an outcome.

I see Facebook are still pretending the HTC Vive and SteamVR is not a thing.

Oculus need to support other headsets or they are going to fall even further behind. Win the mindshare where you can, because you are certainly not anywhere near winning the PC-VR space.
Hi HN, OP here. The hillclimbing approach used for this is based on the primitive Go library, which got some attention here several months ago.

This library is implemented in pure Haxe, so the code runs on all the targets Haxe supports (js, flash, cpp, cs, python, neko etc)... albeit sluggishly, because it's single-threaded and slow software rendering.

There's a web demo where you can save geometrized images as SVG in the repo.

I'm planning to implement a C++ version, to parallelize things, and move most of the rendering work to GPU. But for now my main use for this is offline creation of art assets for use in gamejams.

Let me know if you have questions or ideas for additional features!
You can have transparency and privacy, they are not mutually exclusive in this case. Government spent X amount of money on Y number of prescriptions for medication Z.

Yes but...BK is really big; it doesn't feel like a European city so much as it feels like NYC or even LA. I just can't see vehicle being blocked off, also it rains heavily a lot, which might cause other problems.
The obsession Apple and other companies have with the post-PC concept reminds me of Thomas Edison's own obsession with the Nickelodeon. Edison thought no one would ever sit down to watch any length of film beyond five minutes. The idea just baffled Edison to no end and he tried hard to promote the Nickelodeon parlor concept. Obviously, it flopped hard but it didn't stop Edison from trying his damnedest. It seems to me that Apple and company have to have their own Nickelodeon moment where their prized cloud services crater outside of the enterprise markets. In a way, I have a bit of hope that day may be coming sooner rather than later (note: I don't see streaming services as cloud services, these are more about on-demand consumption and not about where or what device the consumption is done).
Yeah I envision this being something that is just fixed over time as people are exposed to new and different ideas.

Yet, it seems to me that a lot of these documents are written and intended to enforce overnight changes in people's unconscious biases.

From the document:

> Each of us has the right to enjoy our experience and participate without fear of harassment, discrimination, or condescension, whether blatant or subtle.

I don't know about you guys but I hardly enjoy reading technical documentation. It's not meant to be an enjoyable experience. It's meant to convey complex meaning in a (hopefully) short amount of time. I don't think gendered pronouns add to the effectiveness of this communication method, but I also don't think we need to formalize their usage (or non-usage).

I guess I'm asking why this can't be a natural progression that we all wish to undertake as cooperating organisms rather than enforced with competition and penalties? It seems like a wasted opportunity and unnecessarily polarizing.
the seriousness that vr and vr social apps are addressed with is dumbfounding to me. watch the video at the bottom of the page -- this is a huge joke. nobody will ever put on a headset and grab their controllers when they could just use skype. skype, which is much less hassle and gives you a real face to face experience with the other persons actual face. vr/ar contact lenses are never coming within a window of time that any of us care about. vr in general will remain a useless gimmick for longer than any of us are willing to wait, probably well past all of our deaths. im sick and tired of vr hype.

Google has already said other browser support is coming soon.

So I guess your little analogy doesn't work anymore.

Using web technology was less about making development easier on us, because in many ways it made it harder. Web technology is about enabling extension authors to use a powerful and familiar technology to achieve their goals.
Imagine being Salinger. You spend your entire life railing against society and trying to get away from it all, only to be hounded by hordes of precocious fanboys for the rest of your days. The irony and futility of it is depressing.

Well, there's 3 avenues to this.

1. Divination is real, and they are consulting whatever they called. Could be the victim. Could be someone/something else. Could be a deity. Long and short, unless you're practiced in this realm, you can't know. And there's no empirical proof.

2. It's a link to their subconscious. Nothing mysterious. But it's a way they can interrogate their own ideas about a situation without personally owning said ideas. Think of this akin to a couch and therapist.

3. Someone is playing with them and controlling a weak-willed person. In other words, they're choosing what's being divined in order to exert influence over someone else. This is not only a bad situation, it's likely illegal.

The tough part, is when divination is integral to someones' religion. What's to say that your reading verses with a bible is any less than me relying on the tarot? If you're allowed your religious expression, why not I? And speaking of such, isn't it common still to "swear to tell the truth, the only truth, so help you god"? My first question to that is, "Which God?"

1 would appear protected, 2 isn't, and 3 looks illegal. Hard call.
Are there any nonsocial animals that wage wars?
Ok, I'll bite... briefly.

A.) I spent more than five minutes. Regardless, I stated at "at a glance".

B.) I did not say the media has it all wrong. I said many things, NOT ALL, perpetuated by both sides in the media are different than the data from government sources. I don't think anybody would argue that both sides, especially recently, have had media reports that sketch and bend the truth. And both sides just claim the other is "fake news".

C.) I never said I figured out how to avoid deficits. I stated a problem, which is running a deficit perpetually is not sustainable. I'd love to hear a solution if you have one.

D.) For taxes, I once again stated an observation from the report, which supports the idea of a simplified tax system. No, I didn't lay out my full economic tax plan suggesting what to do. If you read one of the other comments, their is a link about historical effective tax rates, go check that out. That, along with the tax revenue by the federal government, is why I made my statement.

And finally yeah, the problem with social security is many faceted. But from a selfish, personal reason... highly unlikely any of the money I'm paying in right now will EVER come back to me. So yeah, I believe it's a problem.
Is it within Germany, or is it just within the EU?

Restricting it to Germany would seem anti-competitive on an EU level, which is usually not allowed. But I don't know the laws.
Sounds like the emails come in later this evening. That's not going to stop me checking my email every 5 seconds until then.

Anybody else in Phoenix? My cofounder and I are going to hang out and get some beers/lunch together while we try to wear out the refresh buttons on our laptops if anybody wants to join us.
I was hoping for more insight into how to distill a product into that one line sentence. Obviously there is no magic formula for this, but the article mostly consists of "You should be doing this" with little other substance.

> I’d argue that even the most complex SaaS platforms can be simplified with an illustrative lead feature.

Again, was really hoping for some insight into why he argues this.

I work for a company that provides a SaaS/PaaS product that is immensely powerful but notoriously difficult to describe. The company is well established in the marketplace, but still has a difficult time getting 3rd party developers on board unless those developers had prior exposure to the product for some reason. I've often felt that the answer involves some distillation of the functionality into a ridiculously short description, but have not been successful in crafting such a description (yet).
I know Facebook bought the Rift for this purpose, but you'd think Facebook would see more benefit by being cross platform. Seems really weird to me to be only on the Rift.
I don't contribute to Kubernetes, but I am curious about what the parent or what you mean by that.

We use 1-node for dev work and then n-node cluster on staging and production. My team's dev workflow spans from 1-node to n-node just fine.

Granted, I also wrote Matsuri to consolidate managing dev and production systems. But I also know that K8S 1.5 and 1.6 introduced a lot of resources that makes it easier to manage things like that (such as ConfigSets). I also know that Helm has been doing a lot in this area. (I had never used it because it overlaps with what Matsuri does).
and the 4th camp - minimalists. I find making what I call "healthy cutbacks" incredibly empowering. 2 years ago I stopped eating fish and meat and it was surprisingly easy, so I had to find another challenge. Then I heard about Wim Hof, (the Ice man) and I stopped having warm showers. I have to admit, I don't look forward to those icey blasts every morning but I feel great after I get out and have a coffee. A few months ago, I stopped having lunch during the week, despite regularly running and swimming during the day. I often eat nothing for 12 hours and feel much more alert and in control. Instead of having a couple of beers after work, I now only drink one glass of wine (a fine one). But god help me if I don't get that one glass after a hard day of self imposed deprivation! Recently I decided to learn a new cross-platform programming language, perhaps no surprise - I chose ANSI C.
The recurrent network work is under way - we are revisiting the designs to consciously balance between performance and API niceness. We'll share more tech details in the upcoming days.
Right now, this is an example RNN:

We use it for machine translation so the perf is nice.

If you have design feedbacks please let us know - we'll be really grateful.
Presumably never, since that would make a serious cut into their advertising revenue, and provide quite an opening for competitors in both spaces to snap up disgruntled users.

Quick question: why did you develop and release this as a completely separate codebase from the original Caffe you created at UC Berkeley?
So, I'm looking at the actual IRS spreadsheet of Income Tax for the year 2014, which you can find here: https://www.irs.gov/uac/soi-tax-stats-individual-statistical...

The IRS is so nice as to provide exactly the metric we're looking for, which is:

For the group of people making $XXX per year or more, what percent of all income in the US does this group earn, and what percent of all income tax does this group pay?

Here's the groups you mentioned:

+------------------+------------------------+---------------------+--------------------------+
| Income group | Percent of tax returns | Percent of total US | Percent of total US |
| | in this group | taxable income | Income Tax owed |
| | | earned by group | by group (after credits) |
+------------------+------------------------+---------------------+--------------------------+
| $200,000 or more | 4.20% | 41.90% | 57.50% |
+------------------+------------------------+---------------------+--------------------------+
| $100,000 or more | 16.00% | 67.90% | 79.50% |
+------------------+------------------------+---------------------+--------------------------+

So yes you can see that those who earn high amounts pay taxes at greater rates than those who earn smaller amounts. However, it's not as though those earning $250k+ a year are only earning 25% of money earned by people in the US but are paying 50% of the taxes. Instead, they're payed around 40% of all the income and pay around 57% of all the taxes.

There are surprisingly few good representations for either 3d assets or 3d scenes.

Lots of people are pretty excited about the Universal Scene Description format that Pixar published and open sourced. It's great if you're a big film animation studio looking to manage huge scenes for offline rendering but it's explicitly not optimized for any of the kinds of speed/memory trade offs required for realtime rendering applications.

There are a couple efforts underway at the Khronos group that have lots of key folks from the Collada effort involved and there's a chance they'll come up with something good but this sort of schema design is such a subtle and forward-looking task that I personally am not optimistic about an open source effort being the first to get it right (you're trying to design a data format people will want to use two decades from now without getting trapped in a vicious cycle of analysis paralysis that can prevent you from being able to ship something usable today quickly, it's much like a language design problem where eventually you want to open source it but even then you need a Guido or an Anders or similar to guide the effort onto a good long term arc)

Emacs and Atom share the architectural aspect of implementing most of their functionality in a higher-level language inside of an execution environment. This has costs and benefits.

The difference between advertising and Patreon is B2B versus B2C. It is the difference between sales based on economic value and donations solicited through donor development; between competing based on ROI and competing based on prestige and need each individual's alma mater, place of worship, or local food bank.

Creating content every day or several times a day is what fans demand. It's not a question of if a dumb idea will make it into production and upset the audience, just a matter of when. Consider it like bugs.

PewDiePie's patron, Disney, dropping him was a reversion to the norm. As recent stories about large advertisers reallocating dollars illustrate, it takes something a lot worse before eyballs and clicks don't drive the decision.

Would definitely read the Transcript and Decision on Motions thoroughly from the prior posted link. The weight given to contemporaneous statements regarding "likelihood of success" is paramount. Bottom line - UC muffed the punt, imho, and their counsel didn't make things any better by taking the tack they did. Broad/Zhang drew a straight bead on the commercial IP from the get go and outmaneuvered Doudna/UC from what I can tell. Appellate court could certainly disagree, however, I believe they have a tough hill to climb in light of the record. From a scientific discovery perspective, it seems Doudna/Charpentier are likely to garner the lion's share of credit and accolades, but from a commercial perspective, I do believe Broad will come out on top. Doudna/UC is in a tough spot to claim that it was confident that CRISPR would work in eurkaryotic environments, and Broad had the jump with a better lab setup (and Doudna being crystallography focused). I also believe there is a bit of high level geo-politics at play here considering the Max Plank Institute and (Berlin) Univ. Vienna's involvement with the UC claim.
