Generally what has been "accepted" as done is age and male/female. I'm sure some places have done more but that's all I've heard of (lived in Japan for about 6 years now).
> But just like their cars, this roof is for the wealthy people who want to look cool and earn some liberal points.

What does political affiliation have to do with this? People being excited about new and innovative technologies like electric cars, space travel, and solar roofs is great news for people reading a site like Hacker News - I don't think it would be out of line to suggest most new technology is marketed towards those with the disposable income to purchase it.

There is no need to make this into a "stupid liberals just trying to score points" issue.
Senior Engineer Eric Adams sent out an email December 4, 2015 through a company email list serv for social activities for Magic Leap employees and their families, which email bore the subject line, “Board (sic) Wives at home while you are loving it at the Leap,” which stated:

----

Hello Leapers:

My wife is starting a Google group outside of the Magic Leap locked domain.

It is called “Magic Leap spouses” and should be findable as such.

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/magic-leap-spouses

It is sort of a social meeting place for all the spouses that have been displaced, alone in the daytime and are new to the area, would like to have lunch with or just to have someone local to hang out with when their significant other is slaving away at work thru-out the 12-Hr day. Or are they just nagging you because you moved here?

Please forward this Email to your wife if she would like to get better acclimated to South Florida. The group is not public and is reasonably private (by email invite/accept) as to not accidentally disclose any Magic Leap secrets.

----

The gender-neutral reference to “spouses” notwithstanding, implicit in the subject line and the reference to “your wife” is the assumption — which is not too far from wrong — that all the employees were men with wives who didn’t work outside the home and were “alone in the daytime.”

A large part of this is that doctors are wary to diagnose mental disorders in children/teenagers, though. Often, symptoms of mental illness during development are just the brain doing the neurochemical equivalent of "one leg growing faster than the other"—it ends up balancing out.

There is still some element of truth to this, though, especially with bipolar disorder and psychosis. It puts me in mind of the fact that allergies can also manifest around 25... and makes me wonder if there's a connection there.
In a few stores here in Australia, I am asked for my post code (or country of residence if no post code) by the cashier when ringing up a sale. Predominantly at tourist/tour related points of sale, but I've also had it an electronics and white goods stores.

No idea if the operator is also recording gender and perceived age group etc., but I do know that on most occasions, you can opt not to answer the post code question.

So what this is saying is that the government of China gives money to fund the development of very specific industries which in reality could count as a subsidy under WTO rules. Yet, they want free access to our markets, but close off theirs? Something seems wrong with this.
It's at your bank, same as always. It's called a home equity loan, or, for new houses, a construction loan.

Tesla intends to provide this too. Don't expect a good rate if you feel a need to have Tesla finance the roof. Banks at least have other banks to compete with.

Keep in mind this has to be done while doing usual cashier things, so not much attention can be taken up by it.
Ok, so that would confirm the 'creative use of tax law' feature which was also part of the dot com world. Thanks for that.
45, and still going.

I'd ask an opposite sort of question: How many 30yo+ senior developers does your company employ? If none, then why not?

Wisdom is in ever shorter supply in technology. Frankly, having people with deep experience on hand is a source of competitive advantage.
Do humans do any better, I wonder? That seems pretty good for an illiquid market. (But what do I know, I've always rented)

I have been using this framework to a lot small projects. Great!
If you live uphill from work, then that car just might help to balance the load. Early in the morning, you leave with a minimal charge, and roll down to work on regenerative brakes while topping up the batteries. After work, you spend that charge and the minimum fuel necessary to get home. You charge your vehicle in the late afternoon, not long after peak sun. Your home power controller is configured to allocate 80% of the car's battery for household usage, overnight.

If you live downhill from work, however, then the only way to use that to your advantage would be to work an evening / night shift.
If you use names like Logger instead of ILogger, you don't even have to change all the names when you refactor to an interface! If you end up wanting a FileBasedLogger, you just rename the current implementation to StdoutLogger, create a Logger interface, create a FileBasedLogger, and change instantiation sites to build the instance you want.
We were using merge for a year before load increased and we ended up having deadlocks. After finding this blog and a couple of others, we removed the merge statements, deadlocks went away.

I have no faith in merge anymore. :(
I agree with the sentiment, but I have to correct your idea that global warming is a species-ending problem.

The worst-case scenario of global warming (which might be inevitable given the current CO2 levels) is a 216 foot rise in sea level [1]. This will cause mass migration and be extremely expensive and unpleasant for society as a whole, but poses little threat of ending humanity.

NASA's JPL did a great lecture a few months ago talking about the current scientific consensus on the consequences of global warming - it's well worth the watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJYs8L84L4s&t=3714s

I think a fair point here is that any electric car maker is not targeting the lowest income market. They are selling new cars, not used ones. The lowest income bracket is buying used cars, at best.
> Nevertheless, a 30 year warranty is still pretty impressive and even more so if it covers normal wear and tear from weather.

If Tesla is around in 30 years. Remember that Tesla was going to go bankrupt 9 years ago before government bailout. And warranties can become worthless when companies go bankrupt.
I know it seems weird to have the "old" data change. But, it's not observed data, it's estimates made at a point in time. The estimate comes from the property itself as well as the algorithm. If they changed the algorithm, do you think it would be better to recalculate the old values, or show a huge swing in your home value, implying some sort of market trend or issue with your house? If I were implementing it, I think I'd have to change the old data. I'd like to think I could sneak in an explanation / comparison, but that might get nuked for usability/UI reasons.
Both approaches make sense. Large utility solar installations are a great way to generate electricity, but there are transmission losses to consider and there just aren't enough large scale solar projects yet to supply all the power that's consumed.

Rooftop solar gives you a way to be less dependent on the local utility for something you need to live a modern lifestyle. If you live somewhere where electric rates are high or power outages are common or most of the electricity comes from burning coal, you can now work around that by generating electricity locally.

It's sort of like storing a file locally versus storing it "in the cloud". Both approaches will probably work, but you might choose one or the other based on some weighted combination of reliability concerns, privacy concerns, available bandwidth, and whether you want to share the file across multiple computers or multiple users.

Nintendo is (and Sega was) a software company that makes hardware. I mean, Nintendo is a toy/games company at heart. Their hardware only exists to support it and pay for it.

Sony and Microsoft are hardware companies that invest in software to help sell their hardware. Sony was trying to help Nintendo with software and after getting stabbed in the back decided to go out on their own. Microsoft saw how big the segment was and wanted to get in on it.
You explained it better than I did. "Skills" is really the key word, here.

For example, a man could tell the AI assistant that he wants to send flowers to his wife at her office for her birthday. The florists in the area could simply connect their stores to Google's AI, so Fuchsia could then generate an interface with relevant selection of flowers.

The man then taps what he wants, confirm, and the system handles payment and shipping info. Done. The interface closes automatically and he can go on with his day.

No app to download, no credit card to enter, no new account to create.
I'm pretty sure that the vast majority (if not all) of the people trying to sell this are not paid, but simply doing so because they want solar power to be a thing.

c3 is decent, but it is no longer maintained and with 675 issues and counting, it's the wrong choice for any new project.

We've had it in production for a couple of years now. The best thing about it was it got us off the ground quickly but at this point I think we've likely sunk more hours into debugging issues and hacking features than it would have cost us to have built it with d3.

> What does political affiliation have to do with this?

Well liberals love to pretend they are environmentally "conscious" while conservatives are "drill baby drill"? Right? Maybe I should have written fake california liberals.

> People being excited about new and innovative technologies like electric cars, space travel, and solar roofs is great news for people reading a site like Hacker News

I love innovative stuff. Solar roof isn't innovative.

> There is no need to make this into a "stupid liberals just trying to score points" issue.

I wasn't trying to score points. I was just being honest and offering my opinion. I'm fairly liberal myself...

Does that include the increased risks of nuclear war, new disease vectors etc? Because, while the probable outcome is relatively little impact the butterfly effect means you can get some less predictable results indirectly.

Aka migration causes war X which due to _ spiraled into WWIII. Granted the world without global warming could alos end randomly as well so you can just say unknown unknowns are always a risk even if it does mean a slightly less stable geopolitical environment that does not nessisarily mean anything terrible happens.
could be, I really don't know. I can imagine perfectly benign scenarios too; if our long-term memory grows with time, maybe there's just more possible connections/associations to filter out with time too, so that decision just becomes harder, with only the deeper old age being simply tissue decline, the exhaustion of cognitive reserves etc.

Somewhat relatedly, I think I heard on some old Skeptic's guide to the universe episode about an experiment with some nootropic, maybe it was a racetam though I think it was mondafinil, and this kind of reaction time to response accuracy tradeoff was observed, on young healthy adults. Those with less correct answers slowed down, presumably concentrated better and gave better answers, but those already good at whatever the task was simply were slower and yet no better.
Easy. "We are expecting the most recent available version of Visual Studio (by the time the contract is signed)".

Step one level up above the trenches and the people you meet haven't had the time (or even skills) necessary to study the details to determine the fact that "Visual Studio for Mac" is, in fact, not the latest version of Visual Studio in the slightest. And why should they. Delivering a visual studio solution should be as unambiguous as delivering an excel sheet.
From [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Guy_Macon/Wikipedia_has_C... ]:

"In particular, their poor handling of software development has been well known for many years. The answer to the WMF's problems with software development has been well known for decades and is extensively documented in books such as The Mythical Man-Month and Peopleware: Productive Projects and Teams, yet I have never seen any evidence that the WMF has been following standard software engineering principles that were well-known when Mythical Man-Month was first published in 1975. If they had, we would be seeing things like requirements documents and schedules with measurable milestones. This failure is almost certainly a systemic problem directly caused by top management, not by the developers doing the actual work."

"This is not to imply that decades-old software development methods are somehow superior to modern ones, but rather that the WMF is violating basic principles that are common to both. Nothing about Agile or SCRUM means that the developers do not have to talk to end users, create requirements, or meet milestones. In fact, modern software development methods require more communication and interaction with the final end users. Take as an example the way Visual Editor was developed. There are many pages of documentation on the WMF servers and mailing lists, but no evidence that any developer had any serious discussions with the actual editors of Wikipedia who would be using the software. Instead. the role of "customer" was played by paid WMF staffers who thought that they knew what Wikipedia editors need better than the editors themselves do. Then they threw the result over the wall, and the community of Wikipedia editors largely rejected it. Or Knowledge Engine, which was developed in secret before being cancelled when word got out about what the WMF was planning. Another example: The MediaWiki edit toolbar ended up being used by a whopping 0.03% of active editors."

I travel frequently, for both business and pleasure. Over 120K miles flown last year; 100+ nights away from home.

I've basically stopped using AirBnB entirely unless there is a 2x difference in price between a comparable hotel.

AirBnB is suffering the same product issues as Uber. Most of the listings now are from professional hosts with multiple properties. This is especially true in "hot" cities. As a result, quality of rentals have really declined from a few years ago, and anecdotally, the prices have also gone up - with all the various fees, it's really not that much cheaper than a hotel. And worse than a hotel, you have little to no recourse when something goes sideways.
There are some companies that are moving out of China because of large increase of cost of manufacturing and a decline in the quality of the talent. A startup I was at started in San Jose for prototypes, China for production for a few years then moved to Penang, Malaysia. It was a very high tech product with a large supply chain.

Also, there have been a few stories in the past year on HN discussing the quality of engineers that the Chinese education system is turning out.

The contract manufactures in China like Flextronics and Jabil have locations outside of China now and are expanding them. Heck from this map - Jabil has more outside of China:

> Which means that your output pixel cant be both white and low transparency.

Did you mean low opacity?

If so, that's not quite right. (0.1,0.1,0.1,0.1) premultiplied is the same color as (1,1,1,0.1) "normal." They're both white and low opacity, just in different representations. You don't actually lose much granularity because the graphics card has to multiply the color channels by the opacity value sooner or later.

Separately, your formula doesn't work for interpolation. It works for averaging, but in order to do texture sampling, you need interpolation, so your formula can't actually be used unless you can adjust it to deal with interpolation gracefully.

You make "it's not Facebook" a key part of your value proposition. This was the case for Snap early on, and I believe it's a big part of the reason why they got so far. Their users needed a social network separate from their parents, and they had been trained to fear long-term memory upon which Facebook had built their product and their business model. WhatsApp was also successful in warding off FB Messenger's efforts to clone it, in large part because it offered independence and a very un-Facebooklike product experience.

Facebook has shown an impressive flexibility and willingness to pay the costs of making big changes when they need to, e.g., acquiring WhatsApp or shifting their product toward Stories. Still, a startup go a really long way by building a product that carries "not Facebook" as a key value proposition.
There are more ways to make it transparent than exposing anti-spam secrets and here is few random ideas. First of all there is already CA system and there no reason why there couldn't be system where you pay for signing certificate to make sure your mail is always delivered as long as certificate reputation remain high. Imperfect, yet that would be much more reliable than current lottery system.

Another way to improve situation is to get rid of shady black lists BS like Spamhaus and replace them with proper organizations. Google could also create some consortium to improve protocols, implement easy to use mail servers that send everything properly out-of-box, then enforce DKIM usage, etc.

But no, Google need nothing of it because they have huge market share and directly benefit when non-Gmail services become unreliable.
It depends on what you want to test. Atm, testing an idea is easier than ever before, but shipping an MVP gets harder every day. To test the underlying idea we asked contractors to fill in prices in Google sheets. After that we have spent 2 years building our MVP. People expect you to be as useful, adaptive and intuitive as unicorns from the very start. (Looking back, we could have ship it faster, but as always you know which edges should have been cut post factum) Imho.
China has built passenger airlines many times before, none of them have ever taken off in international markets. When the C919 is used regularly outside China I'll take note.

How is China the leader of the world in high speed trains? They're all based off of designs from Japan and Germany.

China is only the leader in consumer software apps inside of China, and only then because it outright bans foreign competition.

The fact is China is the worlds most populous country but leads the world in absolutely nothing. And please be clear - this is not a criticism of the Chinese people - of course they have the capacity. But central planning and top down directives will never lead to world beating results.
Running calculations on what? Tesla's aren't even self driving in the first place. And there is no market for self driving uber cars yet. Who knows how much you can make off them. And if it was really 2k a month, Telsa would probably sell them straight to Uber instead of customers.
I need to replace my roof this year / next year. Cost ~15-20k for normal roofing, up to 50k for metal. I want solar on top of that and backup power. Just put my money down for this. Cost is under the 50k I was thinking about just for the metal roof!

Time will tell when they come out and do the survey to see how correct it is but I am excited.
No. It's exploitable by a normal unprivileged user on modern Ubuntu. From the article, "Let’s see how we can exploit this vulnerability. I’m going to be targeting x86-64 Ubuntu 16.04.2 with 4.8.0-41-generic kernel version with KASLR, SMEP and SMAP enabled. Ubuntu kernel has user namespaces available to unprivileged users (CONFIG_USER_NS=y and no restrictions on it’s usage), so the bug can be exploited to gain root privileges by an unprivileged user."

Look, I think everyone procrastinates in one form or another. The key is to know when it's time to procrastinate on the procrastination (meta, huh?). In other words, you have to delay your procrastination to get the job done. It differs from person to person, so you need to find a way to do that effectively. I'm also guilty of procrastinating pretty frequently, but I've figured out how to manage it such that it doesn't affect my grades and/or work performance too much.

Regarding your comment on ECE, I also found that I enjoyed some courses more than others (I did enjoy most though). For example, I absolutely hated my power systems and power electronics courses. The latter was one of the only courses I got a B+ in, so I didn't do well in it either. As one of the other commenters mentioned, you need to get used to the fact that you won't enjoy everything in your field/job. The trick is to learn how to deal with it and get it over with, or try to work on it with someone who loves the topic you hate.
I'm not sure if it's true, but a friend once told me the reason a store asked for your zip code was to see if they had a large audience coming from a certain area. This let them know other locations to possibly open other stores.
