> IMO that's the wrong way to do it. Using myself as an example it took me far longer to learn things like data structures than it should have. Why? Because I still hadn't wrapped my head around pointers.

How do you expect to understand anything about data structures if you fail to wrap your head around one of the most basic data structure mechanism around: referencing a memory address?

In fact, how exactly do you expect to implement a data structure if you fail to understand the very basics of accessing and managing memory?

I don't see how that's a problem caused by a particular pick of programming language. In fact, that seems to be a major failure to understands the very fundamentals of CS.
I honestly have no idea what you're trying to say here. I'm not trying to be rude, right now, I just cannot coalesce those words into a coherent thought. Please edit and revise or elaborate in another comment.

This doesn't work in reality. If you have two companies that need to work with common data it's currently very complex and costly to ensure that both parties can trust the data. That's why trust banks are so big in finance (e.g. Bank of New York, State Street) because it's often cheaper to have a third party you can trust rather than establishing protocols between two companies that auditors approve.

Blockchain can save a lot of money here by making the trusted third party obsolete.

A truly fascinating story. I recall reading another version with an additional detail: after Checkers was solved Schaeffer evaluated every recorded game Tinsley had played in his life - and determined that there were only a handful of moves that he ever made in competition that were not perfect (in the sense of perfect play). The vast majority of the time, if you were playing Tinsley, you literally could not possibly win.

To answer the 'Call for comment' about intersecting complex shapes... one simple, fast, general, approximate, discrete method is to use OpenGL to get your GPU to do it for you. Just render the shapes into an off-screen framebuffer, using appropriate logic ops or stencil planes, then read back the final buffer to get a bitmask of the possible positions. To reduce to one estimate of position, find the centroid of the largest contiguous pixel group (flood-fill different seed ids; histogram pixels; select region id with highest count).

Agreed - thus my comment that this is comparing to the world. Western Europe has remarkably "safe" roads (scare quotes because we call them safe despite tens of thousands of people dying per year).

Machine Ethics Ep.13 Alan Winfield Robot Ethicist
I apologize for the way the parent comment replied to you. I do have some questions though.

What is it about the therapy that is Frankenstein? Frankenstein implies the haphazard and artificial sewing of parts. However, every drug or treatment we use today is artificial, a.k.a. created by humans, and by reading the article, the development of the immunotherapy was far from haphazard. Furthermore, you mention elegance and a light touch. How can those terms be defined in a clinical setting? Is elegance defined only by your opinion? What is elegant to one may not be to another.

Lastly, I would like to agree that if possible, a light touch is always valued over a heavy one if the outcomes are the same. But in this situation we are in today with cancer, there is no room for valuing such pleasantries when lives continue to be at stake. Most would want the survival of their loved ones if a heavier touch must be used. In fact, this immunotherapy is indeed the lighter touch compared to extensive chemotherapies.

It runs on a distributed cloud VM actually (Ethereum).

So the rule applies: don't trust online services with your money, especially if you didn't write the code.
No crypto-currency will be mainstream because payment verification takes longer. Credit cards can now confirm a payment in less than a second with contactless payments.

What language would you choose? AFAIK there are almost no _actually_ secure languages. The ones that exist (e.g. Idris, Agda) are notoriously hard to use (although their Turing "incompleteness" is arguably a feature for smart contracts/distributed computations).

Daily LoL: Googling "secure language" brings up mostly results about Java.
In all seriousness, it never occurred to me before that because of access to "globals", an import statement can introduce (or alter the value of!) unexpected names.
Exactly, you are deploying code to the cloud that you didn't write and trusting it with your money.

So many things wrong about that, it's the cryptocurrency equivalent of installing random software packages on your critical servers.

You've clearly not seen the UK press. The Daily Mail has been around for decades, and has quality standards roughly on par with Fox News at best. The tabloids have spent years posting any old speculation they can find and sometimes even hacking people's phones for information.

And the more respectable papers have generally had their own problems with reporting standards. The likes of the Guardian and the Telegraph should be on the lower end of what's considered journalism, not the upper one.

Honestly, the introduction of online news sources has probably helped in a lot of ways, because it meant people might at last be checking information from sources other than tabloids. There's at least a niche for good quality journalism online now rather than it being an 'occasional' fixture in some newspapers on a good day.

Some people have a genetic predisposition to addiction. Once you get addicted your mind gets warped - that's why it's an illness and not a moral failure.

EOS.IO Technical White Paper

The short article doesn't provide info about the technology to be used in "indoor farming", so I can't say too much about it.

However based on past experience with growing crops under artificial light, I wonder if the investment makes sense. There are a number of issues that have to be addressed, the most urgent is providing enough light for plants to grow. Sunlight is very expensive to replicate with human-made light sources, the energy requirements are steep even with the most efficient illumination available.

Indoor culture is still subject to "standard" problems like insects, plant diseases, nutrient and water supply requirements. These are handled routinely in growing "under glass" so probably nothing novel in it for indoor production.

Except for human interplanetary travel, the applications for "indoor growing" are hard to imagine. It used to be people would grow cannabis indoors where doing so was illegal, the priced fetched for the product justified the expense of the operation. For food crops, who would pay the high cost that has to be charged just to break even?

One year I successfully produced a small bounty of tomatoes in the dead of winter under artificial light. When all was done and said I calculated the 5cm tomatoes were worth about $25 each ($30 adjusted for inflation). Even with economies of scale and better technology, who would pay $10 or more for a mere tomato when it's readily available at a nearby grocery for a tenth the cost?

If I'm somehow missing the boat, I'm sure someone will lend me a clue.

Good article.

Yes. Yes. And yes.
(1) Do I like being the underdog?
(2) Do I seek the hard challenges that most people shy away from?
(3) Do I thrive when I take personal responsibility for success or failure?

The founders i've met have main two triggers.
(1) they want to solve a problem that they have encountered personally.
(2) they want more income for their family.

But as the article mentioned (and from my personal experience and my immediate circle's experience as well), more money for the family is probably a large mismatch for building a startup.

This write up articulates something very difficult to say very well.
What, specifically, does baptist christianity offer over any other religion? Or counseling given by an accredited therapist? Or, well, any other life experience?

Downproofing – A simple water survival technique
Buy it now prices please!
In javaScript, the following lines does different things:

"use strict";
foo = 1;
var bar = 1;

"foo=1" changes the variable foo (this is very useful) and "var bar=1" creates variable bar and adds it to the function/lexical scope. If the variable foo is not created/declared, it will throw an error! But without "use strict", "foo=1" would add variable foo to the global scope! Which might create unexpected bugs if you are used to other languages that does the sane thing and adds it to the local function/lexical scope. So I suggest to always "use strict" !
Aftermath

- 25% commercial real-estate unoccupancy rate in Santa Clara area.

- many companies optimistically bought campuses and signed long-term leases at dot-com fervor rates.

- less traffic.

- near collapse of many luxury and home-improvement retailers.

- homeowners stuck in teaser variable rate mortgages and then unemployed. (smart ones flipped to fixed rate or sold just before the housing market collapsed.)

- employee stock options worthless (my mom avoided the downturn by flipping stocks and selling real estate at the top before that bubble burst).

- dirt-cheap repo computers, furniture and fixture sales.

Before

- people making $500k/yr and driving a Jag to work.

- parking lot "showroom" full of hyper and supercars at eBay and so on.

- flipping house upgrades on variable rate mortgages.

- big consultancies billing out $1500+/hour; golf, booze, escorts/hookers and weed/cocaine as client entertainment, $100 meals every day; $300k xmas party alcohol tab.

- construction boom, especially parking structures.

Later

- Google first admin and family retired already, work to stay busy.

- Investors actually doing due-diligence of timing, team, business model, risk and potential holistically.

- Sufficient commercial real estate inventory and infrastructure.

I didn't really equate them, I just used as them as examples since they'd both already been mentioned.

Also, don't you think that suggesting Breitbart is worse than the Guardian might point to your own bias?

The Guardian is designed to look less like a tabloid, which gives the appearance of it being more honest - but is it really a less biased source of news? It's very hard to judge such things.

I've been reading the Guardian for a long time and I've noticed it's been embracing some of the more unsavory elements of the left in recent years. Someone else might contend those elements are warranted.

The differences in news reporting today seems to come down to the values we prioritize and the narratives that push them.
OMG, I remember that.

The Zoes have either 22kWh or 41kWh battery packs (for respectively 150 and 250 miles NDEC, so an effective ~115 and 190 miles). Xs have 90kWh battery packs.

As with Teslas, charging time depends on the charger's powerand whether you want 80% or 100%.

Zoes support chargers up to 43kW and home chargers up to 22kW ("Wallbox"), Tesla's superchargers are 120kW and home chargers are up to 19.2kW (though IIRC that requires the $k High Amperage Charger Upgrade)

What kind of light were you using?

I currently use 5w LED grow lights for garden vegetable hydroponics. They are very cost effective. At about 12p/kwh, make it easy and say lights on for 10 hours a day, that would be 1 kwh every 20 days per light, so 12p per 20 days per light.

From what I understand from people who need to also provide heat to their crops, what they save in electricity cost with LEDs, they end up spending in heating costs. So in some cases it can be a bit of a wash
At first, probably, yes. But then you start to optimize for different things, because the interests are not aligned : you want "engaged eyeballs" on your service, which may or may not be best for the user. Hence tactics like gamification, notifications, the whole Hooked model, and so on.

Of course we can debate on the definition of what is "best" for the user. Maybe users like and need clickbait headlines and fake news. But to me it's just a softer version of "Maybe users like gambling machines and being addicted to cigarettes"

And I'd also add that the Greek press is also garbage. They don't turn a profit at all and are simply propaganda for their owner's point of view.

I get the impression this is actually pretty common in many countries, particularly eastern European ones.
