at £1400 last year my insurance is expensive. Partly due to living in a city and using on street parking but mostly due to my age (<25). My mother, who had the same model, paid £250.

The 15% discount for taking a black box still isn't worth it for me however.
I'm on a team that is working to build "long lived" software. We are in the beginning phase so there is a lot of changes (we've gone from C# applications to now a micro service architecture using Web API) but once we get a stable backing it shouldn't change. The platform is for handling Medicaid visits for patients of our clients (I work for a third party administrator for health care). The goal is to architect it to be extensible for each new client onboarded and then just be done with it (save for updating .NET versions when needed).
Yes, great language, awesome concepts. But not good tooling, and I am obsessed about tooling in user space programming. I spend enough time in C/C++ development inside simple text editor and command line. I want editor support / linting / auto completion / etc.

BTW if CoreRT supports F# as first class citizen. I would jump in it in heartbeat.

"if you don't agree with me you're either a kid or brainwashed" - nice.

From what I can tell this is anonymous analysis and classification - this kind of info is useful and I don't mind one bit that it's being collected - in fact if the data is accurate then I like it - I can provide feedback without effort. I prefer it much more than being spammed by pollsters or a service tracking and associating behavior with my profile.
Get a Novena or something certified by the FSF? You're limited to slow hardware though.
While my specific cook stove is not produced anymore, others are, eg [1], [2], [3]. The stove used for heating the house is available at any Jøtul dealer, as are plenty others.

Natural-gas burning cook stoves can be had at the likes of IKEA [4], not a bit or byte in sight on these things. Maybe things are different on this (European) side of the ocean? I do find a few in the US-version of IKEA as well [5] so there seems to be some choice left.

How to Change Your Life for Better
On the few places in the frontend where charts are use I am using chart.js, which I'm happy with so far.

Most of the recurring reports simply spits out excel or csv files with no graphs.
The opinion of most people here is that facial recognition technology is for the most part creepy if used in a commercial setting. Mine is slightly different. I think it's fine if you want to show me a different advertisement or sign based on an interpretation of my expression. I also think it's ok if you track my position within a mall and see which shops I visit and when. I would draw the line at attaching personally identifiable information to that data such as a name or a photo of my face. Anyone who decides to do that is probably going to cause harm/inconvenience to me (I don't want junk email from shops I happened to visit but didn't buy in).

I should also state that I think the first use of my data is ultimately unprofitable. Will the extra cents you make by advertising cinnabon to depressed looking people or hairdressers to long haired people really offset the cost of developing such a system? If applied to a broad population any customisation effects will be marginal.

I also believe that the non-anonymous tracking system is much more likely to produce value for companies and it would be very tempting when gathering anonymous data to cross reference with actual individual information. My concern about any tracking system is that by the motivation of profit it could easily shift from an ethical to non ethical space.
I'm not a windows user, so I wouldn't know (the nvidia drivers from my os are an apt install away), but AFAIR the 'geforce experience' is not required to get the lastest version of the drivers, only for non essential tools.

This is the flaw here. The seller, real estate agent, banker, and appraiser all have incentives to raise the price of the home. The only person in the transaction who doesn't is the buyer. I've been working on something in this area as a side project, and have been working with the fallout of 2008 in my day job, since 2008... and it continues to this day and the lack of understanding of the incentives here is the main issue. If Zillow wanted to gain customers through their zestimates they would raise the estimate not lower it. After all, more people own homes then are buying one in any given moment. Telling those people how smart they are that they timed the market is a much better way to retain users.
I like the idea of https://flattr.com/

The consumer just pushes money into his account (maybe 5$ monthly) and lets the system distribute it monthly.

The distribution is influenced by visiting flattr-enabled websites, staring projects on Github, etc.

However, this is a donation system. There is no obligation for the receiver, while Percival envisions it as payment for maintenance.
I think there's others problems.

Nobody wants to be the guy that climbs the corporate latter anymore.

And what happened to respect for a guy/gal that puts in a hard days work for a good days pay.

Entrepreneurs make poor employees, too. Always chasing the next thing.

I think Mindnapa are better for this. The information is associated. For example you will need maths for some fields. Table of contents would mean duplicating links.

But... I also agree that everyone learns and parses information differently.
From a different perspective you could point out that the innovative companies (in this context, Instagram and Snapchat) were indeed capable of significant (relative to the space, at lease) innovation (and getting extremely well paid). I don't see how the risk of "ending up" like Instagram or Snapchat would discourage anyone from making a play in the field.

Unseating Facebook is a very different play from merely innovating.
The usual way - many shops buying a "face recognition advertising service" from a single provider, who gets to aggregate all the data.
You said China is #1 at nothing. It is #1 at one of the most important sectors in the world. So you backpedal and try to explain how they should actually be uber #1 because of population and other factors. Meanwhile, my family have years of experience doing business with China, including being employed by Chinese companies and dealing directly with the Chinese government. Without meaning to be disrespectful or mean, you should really be trying to educate yourself, not educate me. China has plenty of problems. The "problem" of not being able to manufacture their own ballpoint pen was just a matter of pride, not capability. It's not symptomatic of anything.

> Much smaller nations are producing passenger aircraft and automobiles used all over the world.

China is the world's largest auto manufacturer. Vehicles are one of their top 10 exports. Please revisit my point above about educating yourself about what is really happening there.

You mean the source? I am not in a position to post the source, it's a product I'm developing with one client (who has it running) and another prospective client.

We haven't had time to make a marketing/demo site for it yet, sales has been through networking so far.
I don't think landing page with an email subscription is an MVP. Many people have done it and it definitely helps in gathering an audience and get your initial users, but it won't help you in understanding your product. Product is more than just users saying ok to try a product. It's about the will to pay or engagement. I think a working product with minimal core features can be called an MVP. The feedback from users after I launched my product* is what defined it.

Yep. One of my OSS projects has been installed 27 million times to date (and that metric doesn't track WordPress, which uses it), but it's unlikely to yield any sort of support contracts or revenue.

A home appraisal is not the same thing as a home inspection, the latter being much more thorough,looking for condition of home mechanics, and structure.

R or Julia would have the exact same problems if they cared at all about MSVC.

> I agree with you, building a lot of non-Windows stuff on Windows sucks. It's getting better, though.

I actually didn't say that at all. It's the Microsoft dev tools that suck. GCC works fine.

I mean what's not to love? Phantom bugs that disappear after closing and reopening the app, substandard refactoring support (if it even exists for the language being used), commonly occurring crashes, removal of compiler support for the non-latest version of Swift in new Xcode versions, etc.
This has been a feature of these digital sign products for a few years, generally they aren't interested in specific faces, just if faces are seen looking at the sign and for how long. It's all just simple opencv stuff.

You also need a few other operations for training, such as transpose, which may or may not be fast in a particular implementation.

(ETA: In case it's not obvious, I'm agreeing with david-gpu's comment, and adding more reasons that training currently differs from inference.)

TechEmpower Benchmarks – Round 14
You can publish a .NET Core application to bundle the necessary "VM" stuff, if distributing the baggage of a framework is your concern. I know this isn't really the same as native AOT though. I'm targeting many of our applications to EL7 (eg. CentOS 7.x) distributions as standalone RPMs that install on a clean Linux box and work without installing .NET Core. I install the application to /opt/my-widget and symlink the main binary to /usr/bin.
How many of them don't support MSVC due to requiring features that MSVC can't handle (like inline assembly or Fortran), vs not wanting to deal with build system contortions?
very promising product with fast pace of new features coming up every few days and a good experience for serious group chats.
Yes, this. I don't know what technique they used. I expect it was known-value variety because they would have better automation in error detection. They may also have used a consensus model, showing work product that really wasn't known value, but was shown to enough different data entry people that the error rate was negated (the error rate requirement was pretty low as I recall) as in a group almost everyone would have done the entry correctly. A third alternative would be to send images that had passed OCR intake for the testing sample.

Most anti-theft tags are not RFID and the gates are not full RFID readers. At least in Europe, vast majority I see are still based on simple resonators that get disabled on checkout. Effectively, the gates only provide a yes/no signal and can't be used for tracking.

Presumably there is a pattern and that is why the gaps exist.
Top 5 Convertibles on Ireland Roads in This World (2017)
Fair enough... I guess I was thinking the license upgrade TO Pro would work the same for S and it does for Home. Then again maybe MS will really check both source and destination and reject Home to Pro upgrade keys. /shrug.
It looks like a base64-encoded 20-byte value, which decodes to:

3f 4f 29 c4 8f aa ed a6 df be ad cb 23 0b 29 2d 1c bf 11 64

The length of a SHA-1 digest is 160 bits = 20 bytes. This does not at all conclusively mean this value may be a SHA-1 digest, but 160 bits is not a length of value that's customarily used for random nonces, random identifiers, and the like. I recommend you suppose it's a SHA-1 digest and work from there.

The point of the person you are replying to is that there isn't a clear consensus that the kind of facial recognition done by the pizza shop sign is unethical. Your argument is that it must be unethical because there is a clear consensus. Where are you getting your data from?

It's fine to speculate about and individual's reasoning for why they believe what they believe but it's entirely useless for determining what the majority believe.
> Given that ajax was only added to browsers in 1999 and AJAX didn't really catch on seriously until 2003/2004ish, what you're claiming is at odds, again, with actual history.

Ajax is not the only way to access a web service.

> 404s are a different matter because you'd get 404 pages

…which are returned with a status code of 404. That's where the name comes from. Non-200 status codes were ubiquitous even back then.

> It doesn't mean developers understood what to return from an ajax call, or that they understood HTTP verbs.

Ajax is irrelevant and we're talking about status codes, not verbs.

> I'll remind you again that it was actually fairly hard to return the correct codes from a lot of frameworks, so objective facts are at odds with your recollection of events.

Perhaps the technology _you_ were using made it difficult, but it certainly wasn't the general case. PHP, classic ASP, mod\_perl, mod\_python, CGI scripts… they could all respond with non-200 status codes easily. Which ones are you thinking of that made it difficult?

> Here are some examples from 2008 of developers on SO discussing things which seem obvious today:

Come on man, clueless questions get asked about extremely well established things on Stack Overflow every single day. That doesn't mean that those concepts are suddenly no longer well understood, it just means that the person asking is a beginner. And neither of those questions mentioned status codes at all!

The TC39 process isn't perfect, but it's definitely much better than what it used to be. Particularly, the effort to bring discussions into light and provide the ability to engage in the development of the various proposals[1] has – I believe – really improved the state of affairs. Mailing lists are a terrible format for this I think. A clear definition of the stages[2] also doesn't hurt. Recently, a decision was made to ensure all stage 1 proposals (i.e. anything above strawmen) are migrated to the TC39 repo[3], which is I think a good example of how the process is incrementally improved. This is easily the kind of thing that could've been discussed and decided upon behind closed doors, but instead it's in the open for anyone to read and get involved. Kudos.

Unfortunately, the same can't necessarily be said for the other bodies. WHATWG for instance may put things online and discuss things in the open, but unless you're an editor or one of the blessed few I get the distinct feeling that your contributions are more of a nuisance than anything else, making the whole thing look like process theatre to me. I may well be wrong, but that's my impression. (Note: I haven't been personally affected by this, it's just my impression from reading the discussion on various WHATWG specs.)
