May I add that, according to Epictetus[1]:
Some things are in our control and others not. Things in our control are opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever are our own actions. Things not in our control are body, property, reputation, command, and, in one word, whatever are not our own actions.

If you agree with this, finding fullfillment in things you control is very hard to achieve.

So it is slower in a benchmark that doesn't represent any real world problems, while an actual app performs much better?

Isn't that exactly what they were going for?
Nope. But I am making a lateral move from a position with no upward progression to one where I can become more of a generalist.

I'd be interested in (and have some experience) in bridging Python with other (data-heavy) languages, which would let you pull in a lot of functionality as nodes in your graph, or expose your graph as functions in Python.
Or you need the last mile wires to be owned by some entity that isn't an ISP.
I'm pointing out an error in the article about the effect of battery weight on CO2, and also your error about Tesla battery lifetime. I have no idea what you think this discussion is about! Have fun name-calling on HN!
What if these new communities Zuckerberg says Facebook is encouraging decide that Facebook needs to make changes, like to its data-collection policies, that would reduce Facebook's profit and power?

Would Facebook agree? Or would it adjust its algorithms to stop that sort of talk?

Seems to me we need internet re-decentralization, not Facebook doing even more to effect the world.
"people they ostensibly serve."

I don't think extreme-left violent G20 "protesters" think they are served by those "leaders".
> There are plenty of reasons why films have been shot in 24fps for the past handful of decades.

Really? I don't see any tangible reason why a low framerate would be superior to a higher one. Even on a very basic level high framerate is superior to low framerate and 24 is well...the absolute minimum.
The Secret Service actually stopped Chancellor Schröder in 2005 from approaching Air Force One when the American president visited Germany, and later even made ATC delay the departure of the Chancellor's airplane, because the president's motorcade was still only a few kilometers away.
Well you'll never get your wish if you keep wishing for that!

While it's a small sample size, I keep on hearing of friends who want to buy a house but are waiting for the current "bubble" to deflate a bit. Combine that with a limited supply in popular metro areas, a larger percentage of young (and old!) people renting and you get demand that will likely last a while (yes my personal sample size of N is small). As the renting population ages and sees themselves flushing thousands down the pipe every month, more renters will be saving up war-chest sized nest eggs to make the plunge into home ownership. I suspect that'll prop up prices for a good while.

If you want to buy a house, I don't think you can count on another great downturn to make popular locations more affordable. More likely it'll take an increase in supply or some major change in our lives to push people out of cities.

Cue popular rant on housing density
Separatist communities often fail. I don't think that is an inevitability, but one needs to understand the pitfalls.

One of them is caused by geographic separation. Without either proximity or regular public transit to a nearby population center, you lose your ability to market the community to potential new members. Like Apple, or Tesla, in order to break into an entrenched market you need visibility in high foot traffic locations. Regular festivals that draw crowds, retreats, etc, can help.

The other big one is unity of vision. Many of these communities lay down very specific rules in their bylaws. But humans tend to go through cycles in their ability to stomach group strictures, no matter how noble their intentions. Without an outlet on the property for counterculture, residents are pushed out every time you go through one of these cycles. Often these strictures come from a central personality. See Arcosanti and Paulo Soleri's refusal to entertain young anarchists vision for the place.

I would also say many of these communities fail because they don't separate enough from mainstream governance concepts. Many require you to make a big financial investment up front, or use a democratic governance model. Neither of those should be necessary in the age of microfinance and cryptogovernance, but we're only human, and it's hard for us to give up old habits.

And lastly, poor generational diversity is huge. Most of these communities die of old age, with a few geriatrics keeping the dream alive while their secular children live as close as they can, but outside the "community". You must have immigrants in every single age bracket throughout the life of the collective. As soon as you miss a generation you make it exponentially harder to recruit for the following one.

I would be interested to see a city concept based on freedom. Big enough for good separation between activity centers, and designed to support bifurcation of governance as much as unity. "What if we didn't have to agree?" would be the motto. Not "should you be allowed to do that?" but "if one were to do that, where would the best place for it be?"
It's a little harder because you can lock it with a pretty significant lock, it's generally moving, and it has a ton of location and camera data. If the police are notified of your exact position when you start the robbery it's probably hard to get enough stuff to make it actually worth the risk. The hard part isn't getting the truck to stop (which is trivially easy now), it's actually getting stuff and getting away with it.

I was in a multi-unit building as a customer of RCN (back when they were in SF) and a Comcast tech cut my wires one day. I was without service for a few days. I deduced it was a comcast tech because the day it was a new neighbor had their comcast service installed, and when I traced the wire, it was clearly cut.
Here is another good tutorial - about Tensorflow on DC/OS:

What surprises me is that Dallas hasn't had this problem. We're sprawling farther away from the center than ever, and long commutes downtown aren't really a problem because businesses are choosing to locate themselves in the suburbs. This was recently underscored by a number of large businesses, Toyota being the most well-known, relocating themselves to the Dallas area and planting their headquarters in Plano and Frisco. In fact, we've hit the point where it's not uncommon for people in or right next to the city proper commuting to suburbs farther out than where they live.

Why hasn't Atlanta embraced the concept of edge cities [0] as Dallas has?

Here's a way to think about it. In Los Angeles every waiter/bartender is an aspiring actor. After you get past the social taboo of asking what people do for a living, you'll find that the answer is always: "I'm an actor". The job is just the job.

People define themselves by a job instead of identifying with a career. Some people say career, others say calling. On this path there are many jobs.
I'm finishing a novel where an app has the same functionality for street level dealers. Money laundering is fascinating.
I have read them all, but thanks for assuming I didn't. You know why I have an attitude, having to argue these points with people who are arguing based on ignorance and not any knowledge or facts of the matter. Perhaps, not commenting on subjects you know woefully little about would be the more prudent course in the future? This isn't a jab at you, just a general point of annoyance with commentators on the internet that always irks me.

That NCBI one shows C.bot being killed at temperatures under 100 celsius which doesn't contradict anything I said. See table 5. I never said all of them were to support my point of 100 c being fine. I posted ALL of those for people, if they wish, to educate themselves on the whole process, hence a couple textbooks, how the TDT in canning works, etc...
>It's not a requirement, just a specification of minimum bit rate.

Sure. Why not specify a progressive 60fps though. Every second fkin phone can do 60fps these days...spec'ing future netflix catalogue at 24fps seems very odd.
Wages might stay the same, but half of them would lose their jobs.

Wages are a trucking firm's biggest expense. Why would a firm go out and buy a bunch of expensive self-driving trucks, so that they could pay the same number of people the same wages.
As a web designer for the media, something for which if you asked me 5 or 10 years ago if I'd be doing this, I wouldn't have ever dreamed of it, but I love do it, and I am grateful. I get along with nearly everyone at work and there is rarely any backstabbing, though I sometimes have to deal with a boss that occasionally feels he needs to micromanage every so often which can be annoying, but a full-time micromanager is much worse.

I might not be saving the world with my job, but I do work in media, marketing, and advertising developing landing pages. An example of my work is something like this:

It is fulfilling because I get to design something new everyday that I go into work. It is a new client, a new company, and a new design -- with a new set of instructions. Sometimes I'll design something and the client will come back a few months later and want that same exact design but with a different product or message they are putting out. It's nice to know that the work is very well liked. Very satisfying.

On our slower days, I might get 0-1 jobs but on busier days, I could get up to 2-3. I don't mind the downtime, but so long as I get 1-2 jobs a day, I'm happy about that -- I know what its like to be sitting at a company not getting any work... and that soon leads to problems.

Of course, there are those days, although more rare, in which I'll design something, come in the next day, and it will be completely different, meaning the client didn't care for it. It doesn't affect my pay or anything like that, but it is upsetting to know that they didn't care for my vision. Usually, my ideas come from scanning their website and getting the "concept of the theme" and then turning that into a landing page.

To get to this point in my life, I freelanced quite a bit, although it is much less now. I worked for a tyrant boss as a programmer (if you care to read about that experience: http://www.confessionsoftheprofessions.com/the-opportunity/ ), and then I worked for a solar panel company designing graphics for the kiosks (the machines that sit in lobbies or the front of stores and display or input information) in Flash, before the technology went obsolete and they just preferred to lay off nearly everyone instead of updating their technology -- I was the first to go, but I did get a nice 3-week severance package.

Anyways, you never know where you are going to end up... hell, I studied psychology! I had no idea it would lead me into the field of web design. And while I'm not making anywhere near 6 figures, I am quite comfortable to do what I do. There is downtime so I tend to work on some side projects at work and out of work that bring in a little extra income. Definitely aiming to get those side projects to the point where it will make up for what I am lacking.. and help give me that push to a six figure salary, but I'm not there yet.

Experience, ambition, perseverance, patience, and friendliness (customer support & service) are going to be your best friends in any field you decide is for you.

Yes. I'm very fortunate that work that I love to do is valued by society right now.

If I could choose to do whatever I want, I would be doing exactly what I'm doing right now (but perhaps in another town -- SF weather sucks).

I wrote down my story here awhile back: https://www.quora.com/How-did-you-realize-that-programming-w...
Part of that is that the Government relaxed the rules, e.g. allowing students and foreign workers to purchase real-estate without paying the tax. So the markets do work.

The government and their developer pals were counting on the tax not making a huge difference. And when prices started moving down they immediately relaxed it to counteract that. At least that's one way this story can be told.

There were already loopholes where foreigners could avoid the tax through local corporations or have relatives buy for them.
The examples in the article are trite, but the culture clash is a very real thing. I would point to things like the acceptance of alcohol in the workplace, expectations around work/home balance, the comparatively uniform social/political views of SF tech workers (and educational backgrounds), etc.
Theoretically you could end up in a situation where you have to arrest some foreign officials. That's something everybody wants to avoid.

More like people who have had to deal with Comcast. Thankfully, I'm in rural ND where I can get good fiber and not the crap my Dad has had to put up with. The number of splitters in the wall was impressive though.
The simplest is to pop it on the top. Run you DNN to reduce your input down to a nicer cleaner smaller dimensional output, then plop an SVM on top for classification.
It’s correct that you can’t directly reach the same result, but all media currently produced, for TV and film, is shot at different shutter speeds than it is shown.

As you need to add VFX, basically all content is shot with as fast a shutter as possible, and you add the motion blur back in post. And, as you rightly mentioned, when you do that you can choose any shutter speed in post.

Dealing with motion blur when rotoscoping is a bitch, btw.
I'm sorry, but I have a hard time with comments like these.
Society doesn't require you to work to keep living on this planet, real world does. Society got so good at winning at the game that people now think everything should be free. People still have to work to earn a living and it's not western society's fault.
Read the article and came here for examples of these unlimited applications. They seem poorly covered given the limitless of them.

It sounds like using magnetic waves we can get more bandwidth for telecommunications. Does that mean my cell phone is going to soon have Gigabit downloads? Faster porn with less lag and freezing during the good parts?
Which novel?
It's amazing that a show that'll be watched by millions can be produced on a few thousand dollars worth of equipment. It brings the barrier to entry way down. It's still gonna cost upwards of $100,000 per episode, even for a very low budget small-scale thing, due to crew, locations, sets, insurance, etc. But, it's a really interesting time for television and film production.

It's also interesting how in charge of this trend Netflix is; they're right out front (Amazon is doing interesting things too, with their pilot voting feature). They're providing the formula for how to make shows for Netflix (which would probably be acceptable across the board at Amazon and whoever else is doing original programming at this level and on this scale).

I really like this kind of openness about technical requirements, because it feels like an open invitation to make things. This, more than any hand-wavey "There's more opportunity for small productions than ever before!" kind of statements feels like an actionable piece of knowledge and a part of any business plan that involves making content for this new market. Democratizing that knowledge by posting it on the web is super cool. It seems small, I guess, but it's a cool indicator of where the market is going.

If I were fresh out of film school, or currently working at a production company, I'd be looking at that and thinking, "I bet I could raise the money I need to put together a pilot to these specifications." You'd still have to put all the pieces together to make a good show/film like you always have, but the technical side of it looks really achievable today in a way that it never has.

I did mention playing tournament poker where the entry costs are fixed although escalating blinds can force you to adopt different strategies based on your M. I agree live is different but even then house take can vary greatly.
This used to be the case in the US after the Telecom Act of 1996. However, the FCC decided on their own to give the ILECs a grace period of a year to implement LLU and then kept extending the grace period. After the dot com bust and the following recession in the early 2000s, most of the CLECs went out of business and Congress gave up and removed that requirement in 2006.

The state PUCs didn't do much enforcement either, but the FCC deciding not to enforce the law killed it.
Getting started is usually the roughest part. A bunch of crap that you don't care about, suddenly you have to care about. It gets better once you start gaining ownership of things. You can start to make a personal stamp on things, enough to keep you going.

That's not to say the job itself doesn't matter. Some jobs just never become fulfilling, for whatever reason. But it's not a black/white thing; there aren't discrete classes of "fulfilling jobs" and "unfulfilling jobs". In my experience I'd say any particular job will max out somewhere between 0% and 65% fulfilling, after you've been there a while. There's always work though, even at the best jobs; otherwise it wouldn't be called "work".
It's pretty clear to me that having Travis involved in some capacity going forward is in the best interest of long-term shareholder value.

How could you not believe this? Founders and long-time CEO's have so much knowledge and company/industry specific experience -- much of which will be useful and some of which is undoubtedly not replaceable.

IMO, anyone who thinks this would not be a good move for the company is being blinded by hate.

Sure, we can debate whether his return is good for society but for the company? No question.

The real question is whether Travis wants to help in this capacity anymore.
And lots who are happy for a change too

No. But I don't rely on my job to provide me with fulfilment.

Your job isn't there to fulfil you. It's there to make you money so you can do all the things you find fulfilling.

Develop a good work / life balance. (This can be hard in the tech industry but it can be done, just find a good company)

Work on your own stuff. Travel (If that's your thing! - not everybody has to like it, but I think you should try it at least once).

Many companies allow you to work remotely. One of my colleagues for instance bought a boat and sails round the med, he goes in to port on work days and connects with a 4G dongle.

Most importantly - Create your own meaning in life, don't rely on others (E.G employers) to provide it for you.
Love the visualizations and the explanations

Question: Is this more of an unbounded multi-dimensional knapsack problem? With bin packing, you have multiple bins and you're minimizing the bins used. With knapsack, you're maximizing the value (in this case, count) of the objects fit into the finite knapsack.
Culture at Netflix (update June 21, 2017)
A proper way of repealing it would be a one-page document that states all Federal regulations of the healthcare insurance market are repealed, and States are barred from interfering with that market; with an annex listing which past laws are no longer in effect. A second page to void tax incentives or special treatment related to health insurance (so that employees and independents have access to the same health insurance options, at the same cost, and employers stop providing health insurance servitude as part of employment contracts) as well as abolish all subsidies and protections of the pharmaceutical + medical-device industries. The third page can specify how and when Medicare will be phased out. It should take at most 30 minutes for a layman to read and understand.
I think that's irrelevant to the point being made. If every large company has a pattern of harmful behavior comparable to Uber's, then every large company has a toxic culture. Or if you prefer, every large company is a product of and contributor to a larger toxic culture.

I agree that unusually bad PR has amplified the consequences, but again that's irrelevant to examining the culture of the company.
A lot of white people my age and younger in America don't really understand racism well. And how would we? We were trained from a young age to just repeat the right answers and not ask questions.

Without asking questions, there's no way to learn the topic well enough to apply it to real situations.

But there's no safe place to ask questions. If you ask an academic, they will give you incredibly confusing and vague answers that you aren't meant to understand without studying for a PhD in sociology. If you ask anyone else, they just brand you as a racist and move on.

It doesn't have to be this way. Even other sensitive topics like religion allow for ways to ask interesting, challenging, or practical questions. A priest will give a sincere answer to a sincere question.
The problem with javascript JIT's is that benchmarks which run for tens of a second in a tiny piece of code are not reflective of general usage patterns. So the quality of the initial pass (baseline in Firefox) is likely more important. Worse, given fairly dynamic code paths, the system can get into a situations where it is cycling between optimization targets and spends a lot of time running sub-optimal code and entering/exiting the JITed code, or the JIT/compiler itself.

Anyway, there are so many engineering trade offs its like a big water balloon, squeeze it here and it gets faster in this spot, but slows down somewhere else. When, what you really need is a way to let some of the water out of the balloon.
