Not really. All it takes is one man who wants to kill a lizard/punch a nazi or wants to make a stand and you have a dead president.

Add to that that the extreme left definitely have a segment that sees violence as justified and necessary and you have to do something. Again not all or many, but enough.

I have seen protests in Copenhagen go completely nuts.
I think you might be on to something, but the big problem here is that the Input is hundreds of GB or TB's . It's hard to understand what a feature is, or even why it's selected.

I can certainly observe what's being selected once the state machine is generated, but I have no clue how it was constructed to make the features. Do determine that, I have to watch the state of the machine as it "grows" to the final result.

You're not counting the cost of glass for these cameras. Glass can be insanely expensive.
I went with the "engineers" label in response to the "business people" label by parent. I like neither when ascribing intents to actions.

Anyway, I like to give benefit of doubt when attributing intent to people's actions. As evidenced by the responses, seems like I'm off the mark here. Over and out :)
Thanks for the reply!

So do you have first-class support for video as well as images? It seems like to have fun with video editing in Luna, you'd need to have built-in support for videos an inputs and outputs, and have a way to play the video output on the screen, and maybe scrub through it, and at a minimum be able to run shaders on the "current frame" and export the resulting video out. The next level after that would be being able to load multiple frames into memory at the same time, and being able to do a combination of "offline" and "online" processing with some CPU involvement (e.g. calculating a motion track and storing it, or applying a filter that can't be expressed as a pure shader program).

I don't know enough about Luna yet to know what code to do these things would "look" like on the visual side, or come to think of it where the computation is being performed (in the browser?). Much more to learn, but the project looks great, a sort of "holy grail" in a way.
> Cutting them off, getting closer to them, slowing down in front of them, etc.

My brother is a lorry driver who frequently crosses the Turkish - Bulgarian border with his truck (as in once every 2 weeks). Once or twice he caught refugees (or whatever you want to call them) trying to get inside his trailer by cutting through the thick textile material that covers it, while he was awaiting at the border. You generally do not whant people mixing with your industrial equipment while the truck drives at 90-100 km/h. In other cases it happened to him that other people had stolen diesel gas from his tank while he was asleep during the mandatory break (this happened somewhere in Western Europe, I forget where).

And leaving aside all this, assuming that bad people won't suddenly stop stealing and generally doing bad stuff to unattended expensive material (like trucks and the things that the trucks carry), being a truck driver you're also doing lots, and lots of bureaucracy work. I once shared the cabin with him as a passenger during one of his routes, while we passed two European borders. The amount of paperwork he had to fill in was mind-blogging, I half-jokingly told him that his job looks more like a clerk-job than being an actual driver. Now, lots of clerk jobs have already been automated, I know that, but it mostly happened in the private sector, inside private companies doing business with other private companies. But once your clerk-like job involves having to do business with several State-like entities things become a lot more complicated, with legislation changing once every 6 months, being very diverse from State to State etc.

What I'm trying to say is that theoretically the self-driving problem looks achievable for trucks, but once you get into the messy details things become a lot more complicated.
Have you ever noticed that in Aussie people tend to end stuff with 'o' more often? Nobody else in the world calls documentation 'doco' do they? It's not a hard and fast rule, granted. Pokies, blueys, I guess. For the imagery, I always loved 'flat out like a lizard...' or one of Dame Edna's: 'I feel like a shag on a rock' which always makes the poms smile.
And this is why everyone should start requiring 3D Secure. On sites with 3D Secure support I need to use an app to authorize transactions, so if this was the norm online credit card fraud would be a much smaller problem.
There are at least 99,000 homes in the GTA that are not occupied. They are just owned as investments. 20% of these are in the Concord suburb, however.
For a separatist or any city to be successful, it needs to bring in money from other cities. Tourism is the most direct way I can think of. Las Vegas is similar to California City - a city in the middle of the desert, but is viable because of tourism. But tourism is very boom/bust.

The better option is having a company/industry located in or close to that city (e.g. money from all over the US goes to Apple, which it distributes to its employees who spend money in the Cupertino, San Francisco, etc.) BUT this isn't fool proof -- look at Detroit.
Why do you think they'd hate it?
No matter how legitimate the message may be, violence is certainly not a legitimate means of getting your voice heard.
I am definitely not pro-republican, but I think that crap like this really fuels the republican fire. It feels unethical. It feels like yet another attempt to jam politics down my throat at every turn.

"Congratulations you've got a match" - Just kidding no one wants to date you, they just want to sway you to their political agenda.

Honestly I think that part of the problem with politics, is that it's become so repulsive. Partially from b.s. tactics like this.
We in Germany do enjoy a quite nice life, but look over the border (e.g. Greece, or if that's too far away, Italy) and the situation looks way different.

Germany has massively risen in power, both political and economical. This is partially due to political mismanagement/corruption (esp. Eastern Europe), but a huge part of the growth of Germany results out of the loss that has been paid in poorer Europe.

And, surprise, both foreign countries and the German left do not like this.

I guess it depends on what you consider "making money" to mean. In this case, I felt we were discussing making the equivalent salary to the full-time job you would be giving up. There are certainly other definitions.

But overall, I think a startup's job is to validate an idea, then grow. If you can't make money at first, you probably don't have a valid idea. The next phase is pure growth--and I'm sure very few new businesses can make money AND grow at the same time.
Back when I lived in the northwest, something similar happened; I had Comcast for a year for phone and internet, didn't like it, and decided to switch back to Centurylink.

During the Comcast install, I watched the guy physically break a part of the telephone network interface box. I just sorta assumed he was incompetent and fat fingered it, but the Centurylink guy who fixed it put some sort of weird plastic mold in place of the part that the Comcast guy broke. Ever since that happened, I've sorta half wondered whether that happens more often than not.

> One frustrating component of the above breakdown is the time spent recalculating styles. At this point, it looks like the only way to solve this within the current paradigm is to use CSS less and reduce the number of selectors in the application, but that’s going to be a hard fought battle given the huge number of themes in the ecosystem.

This is a perfect example of why we need parallel restyling. :)

Its because they don't record the all too typical situation of a Canadian Citizen with financing via foreign relatives/friends.

Eg. Chinese family has one member whose been granted citizenship. They all come together to pool money, transfer it to the Canadian relative, purchase together, profit(for now).

All thats recorded is a Canadian purchased a home, "how" they purchased is not yet a government issue.

The government/banks/real estate industry has known about this for years...
Yeah, in my experience most of the US has shitty food. Take NY as an example, if you want an expensive meal you can get great food, but if you want a quick and healthy lunch you find yourself struggling.
In his book "Creativity, Inc" there is also a chapter "The Steve we knew" talking about this.

>However, given the existence of diverse populations assuming the Model A, we can conclude that these populations have found a local minimum of fitness in which diversity is advantageous.

But any mechanism in which "diversity" is advantageous will be advantageous for more specific reasons. Diversity is just too unspecific. Perhaps you're speaking in terms of group selection, so in a sense evolution evolves diversity in populations. But I don't think this works either. Aside from group selection itself being highly questionable, every environmental event in your Model A would reduce the diversity of the remaining populations. Remaining populations were more diverse in the past (owing to their ability to survive abrupt environmental shifts), so any trend in diversity is in fact downward on large timescales. On short timescales, diversity only grows when there are no selective pressures at work on a given gene. There just is no pro-diversity selection going on.
Around 10 years ago before the rise of bitcoin, WoW gold was the de facto illicit currency of the internet, since there was a reasonably robust market for it. Things like batches of stolen credit cards would routinely be bought and sold in prices delineated in WoW gold.

According to a Blizzard employee one of my coworkers talked to, their chargeback rates were significantly higher than even porn sites (15+%, IIRC), to the point that it was somewhat surprising that their payment processor was still doing business with them. It's unclear to me if those accounts were primarily used to generate mules to facilitate these transactions, gold farming, or something else.
Here's an interesting talk about optimization and JIT compilation in V8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-iiEDtpy6I
4k and 8k is going to be more useful with large and extremely large screen sizes. HD is perfectly designed for traditional TV use cases - with a screen on a table in a living room.

4k and 8k means a completely different use model, like a giant wall-sized screen in the same living room. It's the difference between a movie theatre and an IMAX movie theatre.

When that happens, cinematography can expect to be different, sorta like IMAX movies have different cinematography. Sometimes they even composite multiple HD films together on screen without losing resolution. This would actually be extremely useful for sports, where the background shows the entire field at 8k, with windows showing stats or replays, etc..
Oh that's clever. By noting the zeroes I just assumed the joke was that the number was embarrassingly factorable.

Southern Florida has several cities like this. A few have been somewhat successful:

Others, not so much:

There's also this curious region which started as a land scam but ended up becoming a somewhat lawless area now ruled by a hunting club:

https://www.google.com/maps/@27.7771326,-81.3102668,7540m/da...

The place is dangerous and violent but remote, and authorities keep their distance. It feels strange to think that a place like this exists an hours drive from Disney World.
Similar things have happened in the UK, with BT contractors plugging phones in and calling the speaking clock [1] to work out if a copper pair is free for them to use for a new customer, or just unplugging them and hoping for the best.

How would that work? Breakup the screen into chunks each CPU/GPU renders?
Netflix has even added amateur youtube series to their collection. With low resolution and terrible audio quality etc. They have no control over content they don't produce. Doesn't mean they can't set standards for the things they pay to produce.
Scummy but most probably legal since its a form of speech. One could restrict this with the ToS and enforcing it.
The demand will not rise 1:1, that's a given. It will rise the same way that when gas is cheap people are more likely to take road trips.

For example, I just requested quotes for waterjetting some stuff today. If LTL shipping were cheap enough to I'd look outside the high CoL sphincter of the country where I happen to reside but instead I'm stuck paying a premium because the local cost of everything is high. There's also a cylinder head in my garage for a 60s Ford I'd like to give to someone who needs it but nobody needs it bad enough to pay for me to ship it across the country.

At the higher volume levels similar stuff happens. A construction company may source steel from farther away to undercut it's competition. You can bet the logistics people at Walmart (and anyone else with a big fleet) are drooling over all the optimizations they could implement if trucks could run like call centers.
Wow, that is amazing. And it is the first I've heard of the high chargeback rates.
It's heavily context-dependent for me. Based on the situation, I'd expect it to be:

- A network intrusion

- A cool, clever piece of programming, without any other expectation of quality besides "it works"

- A "clever" (in a bad way), ugly, and (hopefully) temporary mess, done knowingly because of time constraints

- A program, usually put together quickly, to do a specific job

"Hacked into" would imply the first meaning, the others could be differentiated with further adjectives "clean", "dirty", "ugly", "cool", "quick", etc. Whether it's positive or negative really depends on the situation.
Yeah, I looked up some of the cameras, and it looks like the Sony FS7 can be had in a bundle with a 28-135mm lens for around $10k. I wasn't leaving it out...I think $10k is in the category of "amazingly cheap for a camera suitable for professional film and television production".

Sure, if you wanted to shoot beautiful cinematography, you'd want more lens options. But, if you're running on a budget, you could shoot a whole film with that one lens, and it'd still look better than most television shot in the 90s-00s.
Try to be more charitable by seeing it from their point of view. Imagine being used to a language that helps you be rapidly productive and shields you from a huge catalog of mistakes. But one day you're forced to use JavaScript, and suddenly you've got nothing. It'd be like driving in a doorless jeep with no seatbelts on a high rise highway with no guard rails. Sure you can do what you want, and even in some nice, clever ways. But there are so many ways to hurt yourself, and no natural protections to prevent it.

To put it another way, it's like throwing a frontend developer into the world of C. Suddenly you have to be aware of and correctly manage your memory explicitly, whereas before you were safely protected from having to think about it.

Lastly, not everyone can voice their opinions so well. Communication is a difficult thing, and understanding what you're trying to communicate more so. If someone says they hate something, it's not always baseless. Instead of jumping to name-calling, have more patience in trying to understand why.
Only a $400 difference? That will get quickly eaten up once you replace the AC, roof, siding, have to fix the foundation, and other things you have to do to maintain a house.
Clojure doesn't competes with anything because almost nobody uses it. It's actually just an over-hyped script language used by script kiddies. There are so many drawbacks in that language but of course, zealotry fuels ignorance.
In most countries, when presented with a threat, the onus is on you to retreat from it - unless you are somewhere you cannot retreat from - say, your home.
Yes it is, `1 :: 1 | .. | 10`. The pipe combines categories, so you can as well write `1 :: 1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10`. Both of the forms are however not yet supported in the main branch of official compiler and will not be supported during the first release yet.
Speculation based on a coherent story is a short-cut when I am deferring actual research: a back of envelope calculation.

So, you got me: I didn't actually research the events :)

But, where would I start with such research?[0] It seems like articles are written with a specific narrative in mind: either Jobs as genius or Jobs as copy cat.

Is there anything I could look at that's sort of independently verified/agreed upon as being the truth? Does such a thing even exist? I hope it does.

It feels like these events have gone into annals of legend, not history :)

The same way Servo (and the work-in-progress Servo port to Gecko) does it. Compute styles for every DOM node in parallel, using a work-stealing scheduler to distribute nodes among threads in a thread pool. Parent nodes must have their styles computed before children, but other than that constraint it's an embarrassingly parallel problem.

So, we're sort of simulating offscreen drawing by using a virtual dom? I mean don't get me wrong it's sort of nice that they did this as it's the only thing they could have done to deal with the issues I wrote in my 2014 blog post, but that also means that with a lot of effort the web is now able to do what quickdraw could almost 20 years ago...

That was the impression I got when I was there. They're putting a ton of effort into getting people to migrate. But there's still a ton of die-hards that won't and they were continually having to push back their sunsetting plans. I've been gone more than a year now, so I can't say what the current situation is.

It sounds like you're a lot more familiar with the long-tail features of QuickBooks, so I may be recommending something that's missing a lot of what you need, but my favorite competitor product was Wave. They seemed to be the only one that was actually trying to make an intuitive product that wasn't unpleasant to use. It's online though and I don't really know much about the desktop alternatives, so if you're set on running on-prem software, it won't work for you. The accounting stuff is free, though, if you want to play with it.

But Xero is also online only, right? I was pretty negative on them, considering they basically started from scratch in an era where the result should have been much better than Quickbooks considering it didn't have all the baggage that Quickbooks has to deal with. And yet they came up with something that's arguably just as frustrating to use.
Absolutely yes, my work is fulfilling. My experience is that this is not the case for most people. For most people, it's like the TV show 'the Office'.

Dont settle until you find work that you find fulfilling. Note that it might take a while. If something seems interesting, date it for a while, like it, or not, and know that it may take time to fall in love with it (as true for work as for other things). Things can get more interesting the more you get into it, and the deeper your knowledge.

I work in science - I get paid to think about interesting problems and try to figure out novel and (hopefully) clever ways to solve them. I also get a lot pleasure out (hopefully) contributing to the advancement of knowledge, playing a minor role in the greater understanding of the universe. So, there is that in the big picture, but the day to day is really fun. It's play time - but for adults - more than half the time, building interesting things, learning and coding. There are stressful days, and some drudge work, but those are the minority.

I've seen a lot of comments recently advocating the goal of having 25x annual expenses in savings. This is such a great idea, for at least this reason: Savings like that would give you security and freedom, insulation from a boring job and a boring life. Freedom to pursue interests and careers, or start a business, or improve the world with sustained action. I wish I had that idea 20 yrs ago.

Violence is an incredibly legitimate way to get your voice heard. It's why the heads of state meeting at the summit will be employing it, in order to speak. How else would they be able to expel people from large portions of the city, if not through application of violence?

It's just that states only view their own use of violence as legitimate.
