I read their S-1. The other problem is that ex-US, bandwidth is more expensive than in the US, even though the addressable ad markets are smaller. People are poorer and don't spend as much.

You have to admire facebook. They've been focused on low-resource Android for a long time, even requesting employees to use slower connections from time to time to make them viscerally feel the effect of low-bandwidth Internet. fb really gets that they need an Asia growth story and they've done pretty well. I simply don't see how Snap will do anything comparable given that their entire service is predicated on high-bandwidth video shot from high-end smartphones even half the US probably can't afford.

This is cool. I wonder if in addition to changing the current injection electrode, dynamically varying the resistance at the electrodes can help increase the resolution.

Changing the resistance dynamically can change the current distribution on the surface. This can be used to change the gradient around the touch location to further refine the position.

yeah, but apparently barely declines untill say 60+. Speed suffers however.

"The adult years were remarkable in that complexity remained at a high level for a protracted period, in spite of a slow decrease of speed during the same period. This suggest that during the adult period, people tend to invest more and more computational time to achieve a stable level of output complexity. Later in life (>70), however, speed stabilizes, while complexity drops in a dramatic way."

and

"These speed-accuracy trade-offs were evident in the adult years, including the turn toward old age. During childhood, however, no similar pattern is discernible. This suggests that aging cannot simply be considered a “regression”, and that CT (completion time) and complexity provide different complementary information. This is again supported by the fact that in the 25–60 year range, where the effect of age is reduced, CT and complexity are uncorrelated (r = −.012, p = .53). These findings add to a rapidly growing literature that views RIG tasks as good measures of complex cognitive abilities [21, for a review]."

This is the dumbest thing ever. If you live in a city or a suburb, you don't need one of these things because you'll be connected to a grid that can give you electricity that is far more efficiently generated. If you live in a rural area with a lot of sun, then you can just put solar panels on the ground where they're not a bitch to clean.

I'm not against using solar electricity because it can be made affordable but this idea is equivalent to the backyard blast furnaces in Maoist China. It's a waste of time and only useful for status signaling to your eco-chic friends.

People are way too tough on Zillow. The article states that the Zestimate is within 5% of the sale price 54% of the time and within 20% of the sale price 90% of the time. That is pretty damn good considering they do not send anyone to look at the outside of homes and they do not go inside homes like an appraiser does. The problem is that people think the value of their homes is equal to what they paid for it plus some percentage gain every year. In reality, the value is just whatever a buyer is willing to pay for it. You can think your house is worth a million dollars, but it is not worth a million dollars if no one will pay that much for it.

It's quite controversial in the real world where "each service class has an interface" is official codified dogma.

OTOH in certain specific cases I see the value of the interface even for just one class when I want to clearly separate the contract (which I'm bound to fulfill now and in the future) and the implementation specific comments.

Let's say that in my little pet programming language I have just one List type. I want to clearly separate what's the contract (indexed ordered sequence) as opposed to "incidental" implementation details (constant cost random index access).
I think it's getting harder and harder to justify. Especially given what mid-career devs at these companies are earning. $150-200k base plus 100k/yr or more in stock after a few years, that's far cry from 90k + 0.1% of some junky seed company with about a 1% chance of IPO.

If you look at my comment history you'll see I've been saying this for a while and I think it'll only get more true with further industry consolidation, which will make it both harder to displace incumbents product-wise, and harder to compete with them salary-wise.

> lighter cars use less fuel even without changing the % of waste energy generated.

Yes, but they reduce the total Joules of energy wasted, and that's the important point.

And that would be reflected in the graph at hand. I know we're all talking percentages, but the graph is actually about total quantity. If everyone were in very light cars, the transportation bar would be narrower, and the total energy going to the Waste node would be smaller.

So it's accurately reflecting any efficiencies of that kind.
It's unfortunate that people can't see that junior dealing with the effects of climate change in 30, 40, 50 years could be a lot more devastating to his life than the prestige level of his preschool.

Does anyone know how the electrical connection works?

It seems to me that this is critical. If connections fail in a really hostile environment (high thermal range and moisture levels) then maintenance will kill any savings.

But if they've solved this problem, (and perhaps have an efficient way to replace tiles without removing the ones above), then I'd guess they will be wildly successful.

I once visited my brother who was having a new slate roof installed. While inspecting it, he saw a cracked slate on the bottom row. He insisted it be replaced, which meant removing an ever-increasing triangle of tiles above it, until you reached the ridge. The contractor did not have a good day.
I'll totally use this when making my next house purchase.
I have had both our homes (we rent one out) independently estimated and both are worth 25-30% more than the Zestimate. I live in IL like the realtor in the article. Zillow is consistently lower than other sites. The most accurate estimates for our home are on Redfin, which is almost perfectly inline with the appraiser's estimates. Zillow has a pretty overfit model IMO.

Speaking of the 1980s: in the mid 1980s I had a girlfriend at Wellesley. Someone pulled the fire alarm in her dorm in the middle of one night, and among the evacuated crowd was a significant number of men wrapped in towels or womens' bathrobes.

The problem is that people think the value of their homes is equal to what they paid for it plus some percentage gain every year.

How is this the problem when you just stated previously that the price is 20% off from reality for 10% of people.

The real problem is a shitty estimate becoming something that people treat as a real estimate. Zillow obviously state this isn't the intention, but if they act in a way that promotes it as an estimate contrary to what they state they are doing, well, people are going to get angry.

There are other reasons Tesla started with a high-end model. Because building the cars was going to take a lot of R&D, Tesla supported the cost by starting with fancy sports cars, which have a better ROI, and then used the technology to manufacture less pricey cars later on.

I think they are having a bit of math fun
The expertise and supply chains for mass scale manufacturing are in China. There are many products that can't be economically manufactured almost anywhere else. They graduate many high quality engineers and researchers and they spend a huge sum on R&D annually (more than many developed nations with/without PPP adjustment). They are addressing labor shortage with robots.

China's R&D budget is 2nd in the world (only behind the US and ahead of the EU) when PPP adjusted:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_researc...

"In the five-year plan it announced last year, the national government said China would boost its annual production of industrial robots to 100,000 by 2020.

At the current rate, the country is on track to exceed that target, assuming the numbers from the statistics bureau can be trusted—not a given in China (the bureau did not respond to questions Quartz sent by email). Meanwhile, over 3,000 industrial robot makers have surfaced in the country in the past five years, according to the China Robot Industry Alliance, a trade group.

China is already the world’s largest producer of industrial robots, supplying about 27% of the global market since 2015, according to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). It’s also the largest buyer of robots. According to the IFR and Bernstein Research, China’s factories spent over $3 billion acquiring industrial robots in 2015."

But what could a homeowner do about it? If Zillow makes your house look a lot less than what it's worth, so nobody wants to buy it for the proper price, you can't do anything. That's exactly what this lawsuit is about.

They're not even suing for money right now, they just want the price for their house fixed so they have a decent chance at selling it.

To summarize, it's an experimental project, there is so far only one such screen at the train station. If someone stands within 5 meters of the screen it will try to classify their age and gender and show a targeted ad, and record how long they looked at it. The raw images are not saved.

The screen uses a software called Kairos to analyze faces. It can estimate age, gender, and whether you are "white, black, hispanic, asian, or other".

According to the marketing manager at Peppe's Pizza, he thought there would a label on the screen saying what's going on, but in fact there is just a small sticker on the back of it, which is quite hard to see.

The company making the screen, ProtoTV, says that people should be okay with this because ads on the internet are even more targeted. A government representative says that the system might violate laws about surveillance cameras.
I'm not sure you understand what action camera's are for, they're not for late night events, that's what the camera on your phone is good for, and you already have one of those. I've taken them Rock climbing, I took them out on a trail ride, I took them to the zoo, Everybody in my town is hockey crazy, I got shots of fans going nuts after a game. I shot a little cooking video, and they were actually coolest for that (or any type of instructional video)- they're simple enough that your grandma could make a cooking video, edit it, and share it.

The downside is you can't really get the video up on youtube or somewhere where it can easily be shared with anyone other than your Snapchat friends. But whatever, there's probably a half dozen Shenzen startups cobbling together open source Spectacles knockoffs as we speak.

> If your API will never be navigated by a human operating a browser, a lot of the REST specification is inapplicable (navigation links, etc.)

That's incorrect. REST was designed for services of all kinds, not just human interfacing services.

The point of links is to support service upgrade via good old encapsulation. Consumers of your API shouldn't just guess links like is commonly trumpeted as REST, they should navigate to the part of your service they need from a well-defined endpoint, and this navigation path has a well-defined lifetime specified by cache control headers (HATEOAS).

The service promises to honour the lifetime of any visited URL on that path as specified by said headers, and any client trying to use that path after the expiry date must be prepared to possibly receive error codes.
Rather than trying to impose one style over another, (or worse, pretending one is standard and everyone else is wrong), it saves time to just let your devs set their editors to automatically open in the style they think best with (because the reason picky devs argue about syntax is to avoid frustration and losing focus when reading code), and let the commit hook format back to a common style.

Tools help you get the job done, not get in the way.
TC39 had been talking about JS modules for about decade, before CJS even existed. CJS is unsuitable on the frond end because it's synchronous and does not enable static analysis. CJS being more popular on the front end is a very recent phenomenon, it really started to take off when React took off. AngularJS had its own module system and everything jQuery were essentially AMD first.

I also don't know what you are talking what we already have in fetch. It you are arguing WHATWG should have just adopted superagent, I disagree. The major difference between fetch and XHR is the ability to stream content. Fetch only needs to be better than XHR. Superagent uses XHR internally, and it's extremely difficult to have XHR support streaming without turning its API to an even bigger mess. Encoding JSON yourself is a one-liner in JS. Encoding query string is also easy, there's a whole new URL object to help you now. If not, it's just a tiny function away. It's not hard to wrap fetch at all.
