What do you mean about not having a decent alternative? The perfect alternative is given in the second part of what you quoted.

Also, I see that physics is now starting to rely on statistical significance (eg LIGO), which I guarantee will be to their detriment. They are just behind those other fields in adopting it.

A beginner would not want to break compatibility with every tutorial/instruction manual. They would be faced with decisions about the placement of shortcuts they're not even sure what they do. They definitely wouldn't have the perspective to create logical families of shortcuts.

So of course the solution is to suffer the bad shortcut placement in Emacs long enough to not need tutorials and fully understand what you're doing, then throw all the intuition you've gained out the window by remapping everything.
ESS for R in statistics. For me Emacs is spectacular here. So what you are longing for is possible.

15 years ago I was working on a similar distributed DB product. At the time, the idea was to send the query execution plan to each node to execute any filtering criteria to trim down the candidate row set. Then compute a Bloom Filter on the joining keys on the node with the largest candidate set (using some heuristic statistics), ship the Bloom Filter to other nodes with smaller data set to greatly reduce the non-matching rows. The rows survived the Bloom Filter are highly likely joinable and are shipped back to the main joining node to perform the final join. Bloom Filter is the perfect compromise between size and speed.

I'd imagine CockroachDB is doing something similar for distributed join.
Usually this is mitigated by the appraisal. Lenders generally aren't willing lending more than a home is appraised for because of the increased risk. I'm sure this varies from state to state but I think this holds mostly true in general. That being said, the appraisals themselves are quite subjective and only based off a few similar properties sold recently, so I still agree it's a difficult problem.
Annual reports are for strategy. If you buy shares in a business that changes strategy on a monthly basis, you don't need more rapid reporting, you need to get out.

Go read Buffetts annual shareholder letters, they are free on the internet going back 40 years. He repeatedly makes the key point that your investments need to have some enduring competitive advantage, if they do you don't need constant upgrades, if they don't sell. Enduring competitive advantages don't disappear over night, if they degrade they do it slowly over many years.

I doubt anything like that would happen. While Tesla Motors was founded prior to the creation of the Tesla GPU architecture, there's not really any overlap - in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Tesla Motors wasn't using something like this from NVidia:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/drive-px.html

As far as any overlap software-wise is concerned, while it isn't super clear what Tesla Motors is doing for their self-driving systems, based on what I've seen it seems like they are using only "basic" lane-detection and identification along with some other algorithmic vision-based systems. I'm not saying that's everything they are doing, just what I have seen released publicly on their vehicle platform.

NVidia, on the other hand, has been experimenting with using neural networks (deep learning CNNs specifically) to drive vehicles using only camera information:

https://arxiv.org/abs/1604.07316

This is actually a fun CNN to implement - I (and many others) implemented variations of it in the first term on Udacity's Self-Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree. We weren't told to do it this way, but I chose to do so after reviewing the various literature, plus it seemed like a challenge (and it was for me). Udacity supplied a simulator:

https://github.com/udacity/self-driving-car-sim

...and we wrote code in Python (Tensorflow and Keras) to train and drive the virtual car. For my part, I had set up my home workstation with CUDA so that Tensorflow would utilize my GPU (a lowly GTX 750 TI SC - though it seems like it might have a similar GPU capability as NVidia's Drive-PX system, based on what I've researched - a Mini-ITX mobo, a PCI-E slot riser, and a GTX 750 would make a decent low-end deep-learning platform for self-driving vehicle experiments, and cost a fraction of what the Drive-PX sells for).
I'm mostly surprised that it took this long. Crippling the census should be a high priority in information warfare.
Oh wow. So that's disappointing. I was under the impression it was about the same cost as a new roof. I guess its starting at that cost, if you want just a tiny little bit of electricity.
Yep, it requires n^2 moves for even boards while odd boards require less moves (no formula found yet). Using a computer, I found, by brute force, that the 5x5 can be solved in 8 moves at most, the problem quickly becomes intractable for 7x7 and above. It looks like this might be NP hard according to another post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27436275/how-can-i-furthe...

I made a similar comment recently as well [1]. Google doesn't have many natural moats to their original cash cow, search, just habit and laziness among its users. Lose them and they lose their advertisers too.

It seems Google's primary competitive advantage is a well-architected technology platform (though Steve Yegge may disagree) and the world's top talent. But there's nothing like the kind of total control over critical infrastructure that the Bell System had which is the definition of natural monopoly.

The quality or rather "reputation" of the assigned public school is probably the best predictor of this variance. The problem is that the school's reputation can diverge from the official grades, so this is difficult to quantify.
Right. We have a challenge to handle it in the cabin. For safety reasons we put these things into the hold where we can't handle them at all. Makes perfect sense.

I'd also like to know how or why Zillow lists houses that are "pre-foreclosure".

I know it's semi-public record, but that certainly doesn't help the homeowner try and recover maximum value for their property if they decide to sell.

On top of that, it's pretty unnerving when you see this pop up for one of your neighbors and good friends. Nobody should have to go through even more humiliation than they already are.
To be fair, that is a pretty unlikely assumption.

I sometimes have multiple interfaces and one common implementor, when the same object needs to be passed to different places that need to know about different aspects of its functionality. I.e. one part fitting multiple sockets.

Having 1:1 mapping between an interface and a concrete class seems kind of pointless to me.

In general, going for the passive aggressive nuclear option and involving some external authority as your first step is almost never* the right thing to do if you want to actually solve the problem.

Something can be colorless, yet green metaphorically (immature, new, inexperienced). Ideas can certainly be green in this sense, and lacking physical form they are colorless.

Something can sleep metaphorically if it is not being put to use.

Sleep can be furious; I've seen it. Just perhaps not the kind of sleep that is slept by ideas that have fallen by the wayside.

That may be the irresolvable crux of the problem with that sentence: finding a semantics for "sleep" which is compatible with some interpretation of "furiously", where the sleeping subject can be "ideas".

Perhaps the modern grammatical transitive sense of "to sleep" can rescue it. These days we can "sleep a device" meaning "to put it to sleep". "Bob furiously slept his tablet computer, turned out the lights and himself went to sleep".

Maybe some ideas furiously sleep us.

As long as there are already many anecdotes, I'll just add mine (I've always taken the zestimate as Zillow's working model that probably needs lots of tweaking; it's not like the MLS's are eager to give them data).

Anecdote: My folks live in a golf course neighborhood where their house is not on the course, and it's smaller than the rest. However, my folks house is valued based on these extravagant golf-course side properties that are actually quite a bit more $/sqft. Zillow needs to have a human go through manually and adjust for these subtle differences, IMO.

Despite dome shortcommings, Zillow is a godsend compared to the systems local MLS's use, just the listing dates/listing removed dates/ last sold for/ days on market dates are worth a lot. Realtors can give you this info, but it is not nearly as frictionless as it could be.

Zillow is still looking for that disruptive go-to-market strategy (they already have most of the tools). But, the Realtors aren't going to give up their ~$6K per transaction fees easily. They're much more connected than cab drivers.

nothing wrong with a good well documented json rpc over http

the main difference is endpoint negotiation vs object state transfer - consider an account representation - if you can withdraw, the link to perform the withdraw operation is there in the server response. if you can't, the link to the withdraw operation is not there. this is how the returned value convey the object state and how it let client explore object operarions.

say, it's the difference between returning an object instead of a struct, and it's also why json alone is not compatible with rest, there's not an agreed schema to identify operations coming along with the data so that a client can actionit - json-ld and hal can, if you reallyhate the idea of xml tho.

Another answer suggests 'wizardess' may be the better female term for wizard.

At least in tech we use the same terms for both male and female programmers :)
Chattanooga Is Transforming into a Startup Tech Hub
The issue with using pip and package managers in a similar vein is that they're not distributing complete packages, which usually means that stuff is compiled when installing some application. End users don't have compilers, and ideally you'd want to avoid them on servers as well. Often this also needs some or many OS-level depencies, like libraries and headers.

There are of course many other issues with pip and setup.py, far too many for a comment here.

But to give just one example; distutils/setuptools try to play god ^W build system with things like Extension. This works, badly. For example, most compilers that aren't GCC or MSVC compatible are not supported at all. Finding libraries? Not supported. Having proper dependency graph detection of files? Nope. If some "invisible" dependency of an output was modified, won't recompile. Ups. It pretty much behaves like a Makefile written by a naive person, just without the "-jN" flag.
Thanks for the reply. I guess that would be dashboard use.

But it's specifically a problem with PNG because the spec explicitly allows encoders to substitute their own RGB values for any transparent pixel. Most other formats are expected to store the values you give them without modification.

Sure, but there are other drivers that would cause different value per square foot. A house with 12 foot ceilings, granite countertops, stone floors, wainscoting, built-ins, high-end appliances, tile roof, and so on...could be 100 yards from house with the exact same square footage, and none of that. It trips up the Zestimates around here. Especially in areas with larger lots, where bulldozing the old plain ranch house and replacing it with a higher end house is common. The per-square foot values are very different.

Edit: also, near power lines, near water tower, on cul de sac, next door to elementary school, etc.
It didn't occur to me anyone would think those were anything but concepts.

Some videos said they were shot through magic leap technology, presumably they were. The rest are mock-ups and concepts.
I've actually intended building one from scratch as much as possible (buying only a frame, motors and battery) and then build custom flight controller and custom 3-phase motor controllers, but eventually decided just buy ready-made ESC and focus more on the flight controller.

The first iteration of the flight controller consisted of an Arduino nano, MPU9250 breakout board and ESP8266 for WiFi communication (I've intended to use an Android app for control):
http://imgur.com/NyHABh7 (the Arduino nano and the MPU9250 breakout board are missing because I'm using them in the new board)

This setup never took off because of two main things:
1. The Arduino proved to be very slow. (8 bit without FPU)
2. The Android controllers on the touch screen made it very to control the drone.

So, I decided to "gut" a toy drone controller put an Arudino + nRF24 in it. And since I now needed to replace ESP8266 with an nRF24 and replace the Arduino nano with something more powerful, I built a new flight controller with both the nRF24 and a Teensy 3.5 (which is an ARM with Ardunio compatible libraries): http://imgur.com/XtaDUPi
The controller:
http://imgur.com/8Br1cMs
http://imgur.com/cY1FupV
http://imgur.com/sJyS0EJ

And this time the drone actually took off! And after a lot of PID tuning and messing around with the algorithms it actually stayed in the air! (I'll upload a video later, I can't take one now because it's 1am...)

But the controlls were still pretty bad. They we're very sensitive and noisy. Since I enjoyed this project (both building/coding and flying) so much, I decided to take it to the next level. I bought a real flight controller (Taranis X9D) with a compatible receiver, and instead of building another new flight-controller on a proto-board again, I made a PCB: http://imgur.com/08oFkGW

Here's the PCB actually sitting on the drone right now:

As I recall, Volta (3d memory) has been delayed multiple times due to supply and this is only a very limited release of their highest end hardware for deep learning all pegged for Q3/Q4 release. A field where they haven't really any competition.

Google disagreed on that last part. Their bright engineers kept screwing up with eventual consistency. It's why they built Spanner in the first place followed by F1. So did customers of FoundationDB and Cochroach despite free solutions available for eventual consistency.

Internet 2.0 is something that I struggle with, there's just way too many factors to consider. On paper (or mind) a decentralised internet looks neat, but making it real is akin to putting a man on mars. Platforms, for one, are commercialised so that they can afford to be sustained. They are also designed to attract a very large active user base, which is again ultimately commercial but would the Internet have billions of users today if there was no YouTube, no Facebook?

But I guess the advantage of having Internet 1.0 is that there are many learnt lessons and many good ideas up for grabs. I would also like to see people more free in making decisions and less prone to instant gratification, rather than being stuck in the "hooked" cycles so fine-tuned by current platforms. But, sigh, that also means a more mature world. I know many who overlook Hacker News by virtue of its "old fashioned" UI...
When light travels, it spreads out as it goes, making it less powerful for a given area. This is the famous inverse square law.

Radar decreases the same way. However, radar is even worse in that it also decreases on the way back to the sender.

So if you double the distance to the target, the radar signal coming back is 1/16 as strong. If you increase the distance by a factor of 1,000, then the signal coming back is 1/1,000,000,000,000 as strong. And so on...

This makes radar a pretty poor tool for space exploration.
How would you goose the numbers in real time without an army of people curating what was reporting? Accounting is a bit of shell game at these levels, is it not? That is, we move one loss to this column, a gain to that column and suddenly we don't look __as bad__ as we were going to just a few minutes prior. Doing that in real time is super problematic.

In some areas where houses were developed around similar times to similar plans this works.

But, for example, here in Berkeley the price per square foot can vary wildly based on the condition of the homes. We have 100 year old homes that are barely habitable next to completely remodeled ones that can sell for a difference of $200 per square foot.
I don't really see the selling point, or value here.

Tesla's calculator estimates $40,500 for a roof that generates half our power needs, and should provide $20,400 worth of energy over 30-years.

Add in a PowerWall and federal tax credit, and I'm still losing $15,400 over 30-years.

If I put that same $40,000 in an index fund that got the stock market's historical 7% average, and waited 30 years, I'd have $308,000.

To put it in another perspective, the last estimates I got for a solar system that covered 100% of our average power needs came in at $32,000 installed, before the same $11K tax credit that Tesla includes in their calculations.

So, I could pay under $20,000 for a "traditional" solar system that covered 100% of our energy bills, or $40,000 for a Tesla solar roof that covered 50% of our energy bills.

That's quite literally half the value, at twice the price.

If I put in a traditional solar system tomorrow, it would pay for itself in year 9. If I put in a Tesla solar roof tomorrow, I'd still be out $15K at year 30.
