On the contrary, Google has a very large number of publications every year at top AI conferences.
The general goal of the research grants is to create a technology stack that takes sunlight as input and provides hydrogen as output. Such a thing would allow production of storable energy in the open ocean, immediately making the rest of the planet inhabitable by people.
I have a similar experience with my nexus 5 before switching to the pixel. I've dropped it many times on the ground without a case or screen protector and it kept going. It's battery life was noticeable worse after ~3 years.
It stands to reason the next generation of AI is already being built in a similar fashion and we'll look back in time and see the patterns in hindsight.

They have more exploits no doubt, so I guess we'll see the same thing happen again at some stage.
Yup, fellow 5X-bricked user here. I've moved over to OnePlus because I can't trust Google to pick a good supplier for their Nexus phones.

OnePlus has their own issues but I'm not going to drop $400 on a phone that doesn't last more than a year.
I agree completely. My personal VR sickness isn't like vertigo or sea sickness, which both afflict me in real life acutely.

Maybe it's a due to a lifetime of playing video games (3d since i was 10), but even VR games with weird detached cameras or games not designed for VR which don't really respond to head movement are totally fine for me. There is a cognitive adjustment I make which is manageable and does not make me feel sick.

Having used gearVR with a scratched phone screen for a year and now real Oculus for a few months, I am fairly certain that my particular sickness comes from the strain of my eyes constantly focusing too close or trying to mentally blur obvious pixel artifacts or struggling to focus on fogged up parts of the lens which is causing me to experience a headache which eventually leads to nausea.

That's because the facts have shown us that when it's about IP, it doesn't matter whether you're right or wrong:

- either you have no money at all, and you'll probably get a pass

- or you have some money, and you'll get sued until all that money goes into the rights-holders' pockets or your lawyers' pockets, whichever comes first

- or you have a fricking huge amount of money, so much that you can withstand any amount of trial thrown at you and probably come out victorious in the long run

It's an attrition fight, and Google is the clear dominant fighter in the arena
You're basically advocating for elements of planned vs market based economy. This general approach has been known for misallocation of resources.
Sure you can. You issue the remaining founders options for 100k shares at an excercize price if $50 per share. You can probably even do it at $10 or $20 per share, since investors shares are likely preferred, and don't have vesting requirements, meaning you can discount common shares for illiquidity/fewer rights.
>the speaker should try and emphasize INorganic or say it in a clearer way

The root problem here is that while the speaker may have been an expert in handling nuclear materials, they were not ALSO an expert in communication. The failure was the presumption that an expert can clearly communicate their domain knowledge across an expertise gap. Communication is a skill unto itself, one that often gets handwaved. People just assume they're good communicators because they can assemble a grammatically correct sentence. My wife is an editor. If I had a nickel for every time she's come home with a story about yet another coworker who claimed they "already edited their own paper and it just needs a quick look-over" and then handed her an incomprehensible mess, I'd have a lot of nickels.
Time for some states to introduce a blanket 1% land value tax. I like the idea of returning it to all residents as a dividend. But otherwise use it to reduce sales taxes.
So you want the government to use force to compel private property owners to let private companies build private infrastructure.

That's how we got into the situation we're in now with respect to net neutrality. Sure there are fixes that involve regulating the private infrastructure, but what's so great about that vs. just making the infrastructure public in the first place?

You can always contract out the building and management of the infrastructure while still maintaining public ownership and control.
The state did a better job because when you have a monopoly on the use of force, the ability to pass and expand imminent domain laws, and an insane amount of funding via coercion, it's amazing what you can get "accomplished".

That's true whether it's for ill or for good. Last time I checked Google isn't bombing kids in other countries, our government is.

>The markets are not always right.

"Right" is kind of a loaded word. The markets may not reflect your personal values towards education, and also don't really reflect mine either in this case. But I suspect that the market still reflects the aggregate value society places on education. There's a small caveat here for government legislated requirements and salaries will lag because government is slow to react. For what it's worth though, my understanding is that private school teachers, whose salary and benefits are not legislated, tend to be paid less than public school teachers. They are probably a more accurate reflection of the market value of teachers.

From my recent experience in Bay Area homebuying, that 20-30% depends on the neighborhood, city, property, and timing. In one case we saw it was under 10%; in another it was over 35%! (It seems to be a fairly open secret in this town that the realtor involved in that latter case _really_ likes to lowball their asking price, though.)

My advice (for the little it is worth, as I am not a professional in these things) is not to assume you know the buffer to apply if you're trying to make an offer. We used our own previous attempts and our studies of comparable sales in the area to inform our offers.

As noted in another comment, the macOS app sandbox is buggy and unnecessarily rigid in its permissions/capabilities. For many classes of apps, sandbox use is highly impractical or even impossible.

This is apparently unfair. You should do this to the parent thread.
can you compare storing an intermittent energy source by means of a chemical fuel, hydrogen and oxygen, as compared with in a battery? Just compare and contrast every aspect that matters. Just to be clear, this is (in effect) a battery, right? So what are its characteristics as compared with, say, lithium ion batteries. (I am particularly interested in weight and in number of duty cycles, which sounds like it's "unlimited" as opposed to lithium ion which is really not that many cycles, right?) I'm also far outside the field, just interested. Thanks!

Recent studies seem to peg the rate of regret of sex reassignment surgery as below five percent--a rate that has declined over time, which I presume is due to less ridiculous prejudice and hatred aimed downrange at them. I don't have journals access where I am at the moment, but one that I was able to track down on the Google machine:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/262734734_An_Analys...

(This study also omits the large proportion of transgendered folks who never get reassignation surgery and instead opt for HRT, or even no treatment whatsoever.)

This proves you know absolutely nothing about security. lol. The reason they call them "private" is because you are supposed to keep it a secret. Key management services exist to promote ease of use. And those often include extra layers of protection (eg hsm)

nvidia's not going to suddenly collapse because of this, but a lot of the froth in that company is due to their existence as pretty much the ONLY provider of DL accelerators. They had no competition and there were no competitors in sight, it looked like they were going to dominate the space in the short term. This changes now I think. The 2nd Gen TPU is competitive even if not strictly better. In a few years instead of nvidia being a clear leader it may just be one of a pack, and that's bad for the current valuation.
Actually actually... the JSON spec doesn't define the concept of a JSON document. Neither http://www.json.org/ nor http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST... actually specifies that a JSON 'document' is synonymous with a JSON 'value'.

Now it's also true that JSON doesn't specify an entity that can be either an object or an array but not be a string or a bool or a number or null. So it's kind of true that JSON doesn't say that an object or array are valid root elements.

But JSON also says "JSON is built on two structures" - arrays and objects. It defines those two structures in terms of 'JSON values'. But it's a reasonable way to read the JSON spec to say that it defines a concept of a 'JSON structure' as an array or object - but not a plain value. And then to assume that a .json file contains a JSON 'structure'.

Basically... JSON's just not as well defined a standard as you might hope.

edit: And now I'm going to well actually myself: Turns out https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4627 defines a thing called a 'JSON text' which is an array or an object, and says that a 'JSON text' is what a JSON parser should be expected to parse.

So - pick a standard.

You've caught a lot of flak for your statement.

With the knowledge I have now it would easy for me to say "and rightly so", but I think I can understand where you're coming from.

Django didn't always have schema migrations built in. I think they appeared in version 1.7 about 2 and a bit years ago. Before then there were separate add-on apps that could do migrations for you.

When Django added built-in support for migrations I still didn't use them for a while because at the time I was primarily a solo developer and wanted to have full control over what happened in the DB. And because I was a solo developer it didn't matter. So in that sense you're comment is in some ways correct.

However, in recent times I've started to work as part of a team. And that's where migrations really start to shine, because there might be several different people making app changes that result in DB schema changes. Django stores migration files with information about which other migrations each one is dependent upon.

Without that kind of migrations system it would simply be impossible for developers working on combinations of different branches of a development tree to build a working version of the code.
Yes, that's exactly the reason that the government is the only entity that can build an interstate highway system that stretches across a continent.

And at the same time the reason Google (or some other multi-billion dollar company) isn't doing the equivalent of bombing kids in other countries is because the existence of a government with a monopoly on the user of force.
He's not entitled to his 1/3 because typically a startup is worthless without its key employees. If his other two partners also quit, the purchase likely disappears, poof. Essentially he would be asking his partners to work years more so he can get value for his shares while he does nothing.

The proper thing is to issue new options to remaining partners to dilute him heavily and keep them motivated to work at building business.

>I've never heard this work described that way before.

One way to summarize the thesis of book would be to say: Historically, we've analyzed natural phenomena and tried to fit equations to the data. But Nature may be doing something analagous to running simple programs instead of solving equations. What are the implications of this? Complexity and "randomness" comes about from the "programs", not from their initial inputs/conditions. And predicting behavior of programs is harder than predicting behavior of systems of equations, which sucks.

>but not any kind of science

I think many people who aren't familiar with the book are thinking that "a new kind of science" means "a new branch of science" like we have physics, chemistry, biology, and now this new "computery" science. But the book is actually about looking at nature with the new perspective of "programs", that previous generations of people didn't have a reference frame for. And some of things that we think are "complex" might actually be following simple rules (or can better be modeled as such).

Optimization implies "teleonomy", the idea that there's a goal toward which evolution is working, however obscure to us. The interesting question IMHO is whether such a goal exists, somehow expressed or implied by the laws of physics. Jeremy England's work on thermodynamic reasons for the emergence of configurations/mechanisms/organisms that are good at dissipating energy is an example of recent research that asks why we have these complex organisms at all, and tries to answer that question with pure physics.

I think it is a bit more nuanced than that. You can always lose all the value in an uninsured investment. But you can't lose "more" than your initial investment if you take profits and move to another investment. The worst case is you lose the amount of your initial investment minus any profit you took out.

You could have the situation you by 100 of A at $10, for $1,000. Then you sell it when it goes up to $15, and after paying fees/taxes keep $250, then invest the $1,000 in B at $10 each. And B craters and you lose all of the value in B.

In that scenario you lost $750. ($1,000 lost in B, $250 gained in profits from A).

Now its true that A could continue on its path to $20, and had you kept it you would have instead made a profit of say $750 after taxes and still have your $1,000.

What I learned in 1999 was that that is not a good strategy. But it is the first strategy that everyone sticks with it seems (and certainly I was holding on to!), "Hey this has doubled in 5 years, in another five it will double again!".

And part of my thinking was "Gee if I sell it I'll have to pay all these taxes, I'd much rather think of my self as having a net worth of $x rather than $0.66x." Lesson learned.
