Hrm....the Daydream remote is great for pointing at stuff and clicking, but it's probably not going to be good enough at careful 3D positioning for a 3D drawing app. I wonder if someone's manufacturing a third party Oculus Touch type thingy that could work with phones.
It is not hate and you may well be right about the scale and reach of facebook right now. However, I think many people over-estimate the real utility of Facebook. That is, lives would not materially change for the better or worse if facebook fell off the face of the internet tomorrow, imo. Emotional reactions aside, Gajendra from Nepal and Tom from California would continue with life as they did before Facebook was available.

It looks like you guys have also cloned Slack as yet another feature. I bet that's a huge engineering burden to clone something that everybody is already using - might want to just drop that feature, make a Slack integration and get back to focusing on your One Defining Thing.
That worked, thanks. I assumed Postman version 4 must have had a different data format since when I exported all my data, importing it didn't work. It must be a different, proprietary format.
One problem is that invisible typically means small, and small typically means easy to lose - and at least with my dad's hearing aids, it means constantly worrying about accidentally knocking $1500 off the table and between some couch cushions, without noticing.

The article discussed one possible workaround, which was to specify RGB values for the fully transparent pixels in the artwork. If the PNG tool you're using substitutes its own RGB values in those transparent pixels, as allowed by the spec, the workaround doesn't work. That's why PNG in particular is a problem.

If you follow the recommendation at the end to use premultiplied alpha for all computations, this becomes a moot point.

Seems to be regional. I'm sure condos in places like DC appreciate, but in my region, condos absolutely seem to depreciate on average. It's exceedingly rare for me to find a condo on Zillow asking more than it was sold for 5+ years ago.
Could also be argued that Google AMP (Accelerated mobile pages) enables publishers to get SOME ad revenue in spite of rise of ad blockers. Thus mitigating, and dare I say using monopoly for some-what good-ish intentions?
It's easy to defraud one of the parties in a real estate transaction (usually the bank; they have the money) if the other parties, including the appraiser, collude. The appraiser is supposed to be independent, and the license is a stamp of professional ethics.

If a licensed appraiser acts fraudulently, you have grounds to sue their hinders off.
That's what I was wondering too.

But also: how many people found really, really crappy MVPs to actually work and make sense. e.g.: not scare users.
The company I work with gives everyone a verizon cell hotspot and an android tablet. These work fine in city areas where this company does a lot of utility work.

But, when you do an install of electric wire towers on a mountain, you might not have cell connectivity. Most apps get by this by saving data locally, and then transmitting on the next connection.
> it can be made much cheaper while keeping the good quality

I'll spare you the anecdata, but the choice of bread and vegetables are specifically poor support structures on which to build your argument for centralization. They can (in some cases) be made more cheaply, but the quality suffers substantially.

Electricity, while lacking the strongly subjective "quality" dimensions of food, still suffers from long-range distribution. Transmission and stepping losses (as well as transit costs) are a large portion of why we don't have just one enormous generation center for the world. There's obviously a balance, but for the cost of land and the added loss of converting solar's DC to AC, local generation gets a little more advantage.

Cite? Tesla (at the product launch) actually said it was about as much as buying a new, premium roof + electricity.
Hey at least Elisp wasn't ever as bad as Mock Lisp, the extension language in Gosling (aka UniPress aka Evil Software Hoarder) Emacs.

It had ultra-dynamic lazy scoping: It would defer evaluating the function parameters until they were actually needed by the callee (((or a function it called))), at which time it would evaluate the parameters in the CALLEE's scope.

James Gosling honestly copped to how terrible a language MockLisp was in the 1981 Unix Emacs release notes:

https://archive.org/stream/bitsavers_cmuGosling_4195808/Gosl...

12.2. MLisp - Mock Lisp

Unix Emacs contains an interpreter for a language
that in many respects resembles Lisp. The primary
(some would say only) resemblance between Mock Lisp
and any real Lisp is the general syntax of a program,
which many feel is Lisp's weakest point. The
differences include such things as the lack of a
cons function and a rather peculiar method of
passing parameters.

"Rather peculiar" is an understatement. More info, links and code examples:

I'd double check my math, because economic law says that's unlikely.
And unless you live in a forest, or in tornado alley, having an anti-weather warranty for your roof is worthless. Most roof problems are caused by mistakes in installation, not because the tiles don't last as long as they are expected to.

> Consider the track record of Renaissance Technologies' Medallion fund, which had annualized returns of 71.8% for 1994-2014

Kind of a side point but I don't see how this can be true. Wikipedia says Renaissance had $65 billion AUM as of 2015. If we back-track this compounded at 71.8% annually, that means Renaissance must have had at most $1.2 million in 1994, which is implausibly low. And $1.2 million is a maximum, because that figure assumes Renaissance hasn't received any new capital since 1994.

This is a pretty ironic comment though. The article is basically arguing that our views, to a large degree, are based on our previous held ideas and that the way to remedy that is by taking a more complex and serious view of things. And now you're essentially saying "ignore that, here's what I think" in reference to the article.
If they are supposed to function as action camera, then they are probably the lousiest ones ever designed/made. While I am sure the weather is always perfect at the Venice beach with enough sunlight. For nearly all other scenarios, where you might want a camera, you might NOT want to wear sunglasses. This is the reason why Google Glass had detachable attachment for sunglasses. The fact that they are tied to sunglasses, makes them useless in most other situations.

How are you going to wear sunglasses (unless of course you are on a beach) to any indoor or late night event/outing without looking like total douchebag??
Through the tax credits, we're all paying for someone else's pet project.

Wearing smaller hearing aids isn't just about the look of them, they are actually much more comfortable and the designs of the in-the-ear piece of the aid lead to better sound quality and a more natural sound.

As technology improved the in-the-ear piece could become more 'open' in that it didn't have to fill the whole ear to avoid feedback, could be a soft tip that wasn't molded to an individual's canal and allowed in some unprocessed sounds that didn't travel through the aid.

It's so normal today to see people with something in their ear, usually Apple buds, and because hearing aid manufacturers have realised it's a smart move to stop marketing them as medical devices as such and positions them more as cool-tech hearing enhancers, I think the stigma of hearing loss and wearing hearing aids will soon be a thing of the past.
I'm curious about the durability - I live Colorado Springs, which is typically very sunny (good for solar), but can get pretty bad hailstorms. This means that the average roof lifetime here is much shorter than elsewhere. If the Tesla's roof tiles are actually significantly more durable than asphalt, it could be more cost-effective here than elsewhere.
> On the other hand, I believe Google is working on a CUDA compiler [1]

Hi, I'm one of the developers of the open-source CUDA compiler.

It's not actually a separate compiler, despite what that paper says. It's just plain, vanilla, open-source clang. Download or build the latest version of clang, give it a CUDA file, and away you go. That's all there is to it.

In terms of compiling CUDA on other GPUs, that's not something I've worked on, but judging from the commits going by to clang and LLVM, other people are quite interested in making this work.
Exactly- risk aversion is the driving force. When I was a civil engineer, paper was king. It's wasteful printing 5x copies of one 1000+ page spec, but it's reliable.

I did write a shop drawing automation program when I worked at the office. There was resistance to it at first, but getting the right people on board and demonstrating the improvements helped a lot to get it all the way to the executives of the company. During my push to get my software adopted I learned a lot similar to your perspective; many professionals don't dislike new technology, but they're unwilling to put their name beside it unless it's proven to work.

A lot of young engineers like myself want to walk in on the first day and start shaking things up. But working in a slower, more risk averse field has made me a better software engineer by tempering some of those impulses to adopt the latest and greatest tech. Taking a pragmatic and proven route will nearly always get you reliable and predictable results.

Spoiler: 12 acres is about the size of two city blocks, and much smaller than a typical college campus or suburban mall. This page has a map of the area they were bidding over: http://waterfrontoronto.ca/nbe/portal/waterfront/Home/waterf...

That's certainly more than enough land to build something interesting in. Otherwise, that area would just go to another boring condominium development. But the only autonomous transit is going to be elevators and the inflamed fantasies of journalists who don't check all the primary sources.

Now, if there was a bid for doing something interesting with Ontario Place, that would be a discussion.
Clearly Vim is making inroads :-)

I have used both, from Finseth's 'FINE'[1], to MicroEmacs (ue) to Gosling emacs. But I switched over to vi when I started using PC keyboards all the time because of that damn caps lock key. For a while I would keymap it back to control and spent extra for a keyboard that actually had a control key there, but eventually I gave up not being able to walk up to a vanilla / foreign install and effectively generate a text file from within an editor.

I really do think that broad, sweeping statements like that can't be used so liberally for a product that billions of people use in so many different ways. The way we use Facebook here in America is not the same as the way people use Facebook in Thailand (in fact, it's extremely different). The way a college student uses Facebook is not the same as the way a mid 30s male uses Facebook.

I'll give you one data point. When I was in college, we had a Facebook group for every single class and they were extremely valuable. We also used Facebook events heavily for various on-campus events. This too was extremely valuable. Now that I'm out of college, I have less affinity with those products from Facebook but I gravitate towards different parts of the site now.

Either way, you can say that your life would not materially change for the better or worse if Facebook fell off the face of the internet tomorrow. That's a valid opinion to hold. But don't make the folly of generalizing a global product that is so incredibly pervasive in ways that we can't fully understand. I'm not saying that this reality is a good thing, nor am I saying it's a bad thing. However we can have better conversations about the effect Facebook has than "Facebook is useless", "Zuck is a spy", "I deleted my account, fuck FB", "All their metrics are fake", "Something something Myspace".

Those simply aren't interesting statements anymore. They just aren't. They're tired and have been repeated year after year for more than a decade.
It's changed now, but Aldi didn't use to use barcodes - the cashier had to memorise all the product codes.

This meant they could go really fast.
Personally I love self checkout more than a cashier. My things are bagged faster and correct things are bagged together. I dont have to make stupid small talk. And I can do it quicker since I know what I have and to expect. And old people that'd hold up the line using checks (it's 2017, checks should be banned from grocery stores for several reasons) are too scared to use them so I won't get stuck behind someone like that.

> Using the calculator, the roof for a two-story 3000sqft home comes down to $50-60k, with a net gain of $5k. If your house is any larger than that $80k is pocket change.

That's hardly pocket change in most of the country, where you can get a lot more sqft/$ (and potentially in a bigger, 1-story footprint) than on the west coast.
Cities area already defined. Yes suburbs are included. They should allowed to remain as long as it's economically viable to do so.

If you're neighbors want to sell for $10MM each to a developer who wants to build an apartment, they should be allowed to. If your other neighbor wants to tear down their house and build a duplex and rent the other out, they should be allowed to. If you want to keep your dog and bbq, you should be allowed to.

The general idea is to allow people the ability to extract the wealth from their property. It's possible that they are "drinking your milkshake" by extracting wealth from surrounding properties too. But everyone was given the same opportunity.

Take a look at an actual appraisal document[0] for clues into what impacts a home's market value. The key is in selecting the 'Comps', homes that have sold recently and which are materially comparable to the home under appraisal.

Other random attributes that adjust the appraisal:

- Does the home have a view? Of what?

- What is the quality of construction?

- Garage or Carport?

- Pool?

- basement?

There are many variables, least of which is how active the market is today.
