The price is attractive, but having followed vega for the last year, it is way behind schedule (they had promised deliveries as early as December 2016) and way under performance targets.

To put this claim into perspective, Nvidia has had a card of comparable speed on the market for 14 months, which consumes 40% less power than RX Vega (GTX 1080).

The price is definitely attractive, but we're comparing it to year-old units from nvidia. Throw into the mix the fact that NO graphics card is selling for MSRP and hasn't for the last 6 months, you can expect supply and price to be far from this mark.

I just can't see this being a compelling business model - release late, under performing and cut margins to make up for it.

I love team red, and I have owned AMD cards for the last 7 years (one of which mined 50+ bitcoins on it's own) but this latest showing is quite late and quite lackluster. I can see nvidia releasing volta in the coming month or two, giving them a strong lead in performance and efficiency, and slashing their pascal card prices to vega level.

AMD is keeping nvidia on their toes, and for nothing other than that, we should support them. It would be nice to be doing that AND having the fastest hardware.
That's interesting. I have successfully designed systems which could be easily migrated between different RDMS' with minimal changes. Obviously to go to no-sql or other less conventional storage is a different story.

It is an interesting question about how successful people are in migrating to different storage engines.
>"Uber's success is due to the CEO being an asshole."

It seems to me like you might be conflating being bold with being asshole. I'm pretty sure they can be mutually exclusive. It's quite possible to make bold business moves without being an asshole. Examples of bold vs asshole:

Taking on the entrenched taxi medallion oligopoly is being bold.

Making sexist jokes in an interview with a magazine(or at all)is being an asshole.

Making an entry into the Chinese market is being bold.

Berating a driver who is voicing concerns about falling fares is being an asshole.

I'd argue it's already priced in. There wasn't even a slight reaction when coinbase notified their customers that they wouldn't support the fork.

Can we address the fact that Travis not honouring his leave was him calling for the resignation of a board member who practically personified the issues surrounding Uber at the time?

>Earlier in the day at an Uber staff meeting to discuss the company’s culture, Arianna Huffington, another board member, talked about how one woman on a board often leads to more women joining a board.

>“Actually, what it shows is that it’s much more likely to be more talking,” Mr. Bonderman responded.
This is the most complicated one I've seen.

May not be for dimming. PWM control is used also to reduce the current (and therefore power, and therefore heat) required to achieve a particular apparent brightness. This utilizes the persistence of vision effect.

My guess is that, above a certain frequency, persistence of vision no longer applies, and the light is in fact seen simply as being dimmer (which is undesirable in this case). Hence ~100 Hz.

> mixed public private medical systems etc.

As best I understand, having a single system with aspects of both extremes, has not brought out the advantages of either. We'd be better served by having a public system and a market that competes with it; except that nobody in good health would find the public system to be competitive, and that thus the public system would devolve into a public charity for the chronically ill/injured/etc.

> national service but with exemptions

That's all well and good, but exemptions become more difficult for a number of other things.

For instance, rural residents (a.k.a. "Red Tribe") generally prefer to be taxed less and receive less subsidized services overall in return; whereas many urban residents wish for a sort of Northern-European "nanny state" which provides every service imaginable in exchange for having negligible post-tax net income.

And here's another example which speaks more directly to geography. In rural areas there are (a) hostile and/or food-bearing wildlife, (b) large wooded areas devoid of humans (or, at least, demarcated with warnings that all humans within must wear high-visibility vests) and (c) an abundance of soft, bullet-absorbing ground. For this reason, rurals see firearms as a useful tool that can be handled safely enough to not cause injury to humans or damage to human property. (Unless, of course, one is an outlaw who intends to do so.) In urban areas, by contrast, there is scarcely any direction at all in which one can point a muzzle without "flagging" something valuable or someone; either directly, or on the ricochet from the hard materials that are common in urban areas, or even penetrating through a wooden wall/floor/ceiling of your apartment. It is no surprise, then, that many urbans see no purpose to civilian firearms ownership whatsoever; and would never see such a thing without entering a rural area; and would thus have no empathy or respect whatsoever for their rural neighbors who are so wary of firearms restrictions.
Zipcodes in the United States are postal routes, which aren't really polygons like cities. We can make an approximation, but that's not how they're defined. In some countries, point postcodes are common. We just spent a bunch of time on postcodes in Great Britain, which commonly only have a few addresses in each one. Even in the Unites States, some universities or other large institutions will have a "postcode" which is a single address. The US military also assigns postcodes to ships, which tend to move a bit more than your average building.
I don't really understand what's happening here. This is a domain for these wooden models, but the main header link is to a Kickstarter.

It's likely not for dimming but for reducing power usage without reducing apparent brightness. See my comment sibling to yours.
It's actually unequally-weighted doubly indirect representation with structural incentives (but no guarantee) for the representatives actually tasked with choosing the voting representatives to both delegated that task to the citizenry and a separate set of incentives and abide by the results and a separate set of incentives (and, again, no guarantee) for the set of voting representatives to vote in accordance with the preferences expressed by the voters by whom they were elected.

And neither of those sets of incentives is, unlike the doubly-indirect structure itself, part of the federal Constitution; they are both much more recent federal statute and state law incentives.
Please read my comment again, I said "many if not most" of the benefits. And I was referring specifically to the tire system, not the language as a whole.

Yeah, maybe I'll update the post and mention ENUMs.

I like the type safety of ENUMs, and I'm actually using them in my application, but they can cause a lot of problems. E.g. it's currently almost impossible to remove an ENUM value [1], and adding a new value can't be done inside of a transaction.

The state transitions could definitely go into a table, but I feel it's overkill in many cases, and would have probably obfuscated the main ideas presented in the article.

Anyway, thanks for your feedback. There is definitely a lot more to explore for anybody who is interested in applying these ideas in practice :)

I have the older xps 15 9530. If you try to run any decent game (spec wise easy for the laptop to handle), it will throttle down to 10 fps or less within 5 minutes. When I contacted customer care, they said since this is an ultrabook, this is expected and that they couldn't do anything.

So, my advice would be to research thoroughly if you are buying an XPS for gaming.
Bangalore, a large city in Southern India, is probably the world leader in the proportion of layers that have embedded numbers. Here's an example:

These are merely extreme cases. Javascript is full of less mind-boggling inconveniences. It's not like they only kept the really bad features for laughs and fixed the rest.
I'm perfectly fine with being able to prove your vote was cast (I'd actually prefer if you were required by law to vote. You can make a vote of "nobody", but you'd need to vote), but that is very different from being able to verify who you voted for.

But even still paper ballots where you check off a square and put it in a box can give the same assurances as that complicated Scantegrity system as long as you stick around and watch the ballot box yourself till it's counted. yes, it's a day of time, but it's something you or literally anyone else can do regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, social status, education, or anything else.
Snapp: how Tehran's answer to Uber is changing how people travel, and live
The “1970“ is certainly not a strict threshold, but I do think that it can legitimately be seen as a bit of a watershed regarding out-of-field computer skills. (sorry, I can't consider a mathematician who wrote impactful software truly out-of-field, no matter how blessed with humility)

Take for example brick and mortar architecture students. Most of those born mid 1970ies would at one point have put a lot of research in speccing out their personal CAD machine, learn how to apply cracks for the piracy countermeasures of the day and design multiple generations of less and less inadequate personal backup strategies. Their peers ten years older? None of that DIY, most would probably have jumped straight from paper to a professionally supported workstations. Their peers twenty years younger? Walled garden app stores.
Very clear design. Would be cool if it could be made interactive.
I think it's important to recognise how good - and effective - data protection laws are in some countries. The biggest challenge is US companies flagrantly ignoring them. In other words, the main thing holding Europe back from protecting data is that the USA is so lax. I think in that regard, more legislation could be massively beneficial.
Ubuntu 16.04 handles it really nicely, but it requires a few hacks to get things like Chrome + Thunderbird to scale properly.

The other strange thing is that people think about this stuff in the most mundane of situations.

If there's an impassable genetic predisposition to intelligence, it's preventing you from becoming Einstein - not, you know, a mid level programmer at a mobile app studio.
Ha! A pretty big problem with HN (or really, a problem with programmer types), is the astounding lack of common sense that comes from an overly-rigid attachment to the scientific method.
Tellingly, the examples cited all involve the use of some form of social media. (There they go thinking Facebook is the internet again.)
Nice work! My suggestion at the moment is to avoid excessively long true/false questions (unless you actually plan to modify them, but that can be incredibly hard), and to use Named Entity Recognition/detection and semantic similarity (Word2Vec/Glove) for multiple-choice questions. I guess you are already using the former, but with the latter you should be able to really constrain the options to something more "credible".

>and way under performance targets.

Well... It's AMD. Did you really believe what they promised? How many times have they lied and played the hype game just to deliver garbage?

>AMD is keeping nvidia on their toes, and for nothing other than that, we should support them.

It's cheaper. Yep. But worse. Worse than Intel, worse than nVidia. And what's even worse is that, for example in GPUs, you can see they sell not-so-bad hardware coupled with horrible, abhorrent drivers. It's really pathetic. AMD never again, at least for me.
This is what I don't get. Don't they do basic testing before releasing these?
I have a Killer NIC in my MSI gaming laptop. Opening the Killer wifi desktop configuration app would bluescreen my desktop every time :(

I take issue with wikileaks because Assange has explicitly stated himself that his goal is to inflict the maximum amount of damage through headline manipulation or hyperbole/click-baiting; leave it to the users to actually take a look at the content of the leaks to decide for themselves. Given this, the organization appears to be no better than any other sensational manipulative news organization, so I highly question their methods.
Following this along with curiosity. It seam like a much better compute card at attractive prices and an okay (not great) gaming card.

A lot of the silicone was dedicated to features that just do not matter to gaming. For example, HBM cache (I'm not aware of any games that blow through 8GB of VRAM) or FP16.

That's because the part is more (then less) identical to their professional compute offerings.
Imgur profitable since day 1? Give me a break.

I mean now that they've created a social network and are redirecting all image links to their shitty webpage with the cat paw, ok, I believe it, but since day 1 when they were just hosting images? There's no way they were making money off that
No one would go out of their way to, but it's pretty common to have these cases break because no one's ever bothered to test them. On screen keyboards don't have characters no one will ever type, fonts don't have characters no one will ever display, sorting and string manipulations may not bother to handle accented characters correctly if there will never be accented characters, etc.

No one actively thinks "I'm going to intentionally omit solid unicode support"; we just don't bother with it until we feel there's a good reason to, and by then it's often too late.
I found it hard to use entities with more than 4 Attributes when defining them as simple compounds like

person(Firstname, Lastname, Gender, Age, State, Country).

Accessing the attributes by position makes the code hard to read because one has to remember the position and mistakes are not catched because there is no type system.

Would you recommend using the libray record or using dicts in swi-prolog? This would make the code non portable.
Moreover, do you recommend dedicated strings or list of atoms to represent strings?
It's not just about migration. There are deployment issues as well.

I like to think of each layer in a tiered system as having differing deployment requirements and time tables. Front-end systems will be very frequent, backend systems possibly less so, though not necessarily, and then DBs ideally infrequent and they generally take longer.

At a minimum, keeping them decoupled is freeing for patching bugs and releasing features independently. It does raise the bar for keeping all changes compatible with existing systems.
I agree with you that there is no proof that barefoot running is better for you, but the problem is there is no proof that cushioned shoes are better for you either...

I have been a minimalist/barefoot runner for 4 years and have run a 50 mile ultramarathon and am currently training for 100 mile ultramarathon. I am constantly asked how/why I do it and the best answer that I can come up with is because I like the way it feels. I feel light on my feet and strong. That being said I would only recommend someone to use minimalist shoes if they truely believes it will be better for them over the long run. When I transitioned it took me 4 years of have sore arches, achillies, and calf musles. Because of this inital pain most people use this as proof that it is bad for you. I spent a lot of time with rollers working out pain in my legs. My muscle and tendons have now become strong enough that I don't get pain. In the last three years I haven't once had a running injury and I average around 50 to 60 miles a week.

I view minimalist running as a long term benifit to me. I want to be able to run into my 60s and 70s. I have consciously made the gamble that minimalist running will allow me to do that. Time will tell if the gamble pays off or not.
Not having money, and "being good for the money" are two different things.
I read somewhere that bitcoin was deemed a pyramid scheme. Not sure about that, but doesn't it get more and more expensive to do transactions as more and more people use it? Is there a limit to unique sigs people could use?
From the docs (as I suspect you already know): ALTER TYPE ... ADD VALUE (the form that adds a new value to an enum type) cannot be executed inside a transaction block

Also, removing a value is a pain (though, that may have changed now).

I know you can do it — but I've found after trying a bunch of approaches that text with constraints is a better starting point. Just wanted to point it out because it's something I researched a fair amount. Many guides say that enum can be a pain but I decided that I'd use them to be pure, then discovered they were a pain, and now don't use them as a starting point.
With the failure of RX Vega to meet performance expectations, I fear Nvidia has free reign now to continue their dominance in the areas of deep learning / machine learning.

I was really quite optimistic, especially with their recent push with the ROCm platform that AMD has been building up. But if the hardware can't back it up, it means little in the end. It seems like we'll have to wait until the next generation to see if any viable contenders will show up. Disappointing to say the least.
Yeah, this doesn't actually work. You'll get this error:

I feel like weekend voting would help for those who work "regular 9-5 jobs" but those who are young, and say still in college/university and working weekends, would now have a more difficult time voting. The weekend type jobs usually won't let you have time off to vote, they schedule you that time because they're busy, so it might be much more difficult for those people.

At least the weekday election day somewhat levels the playing field, at least as I see it.

My real life side by side test show that turning off my machine at the end of the day isn't a big deal. The fact that I can run 2-3 VMs when the rest of my team can barely run one is a big deal.
