The car sickness is good. People can read in buses sometimes, so it might not be impossible. But if every self-driving car drove like a bus, the non-self-drivers might get very frustrated.

There are a lot of huge question marks.

How is it even possible to not run in this fashion? I mean, the way you described it, is what running is right? I can't even picture someone running and landing on the heel or back of their foot. That would resemble some kind of bizarre speed-marching technique. I've never seen anyone in my life run like that.
The RX Vega 56 part has 50% higher SP compute per watt than the RX 580 and 570 (50 SP GFLOP/watt), and is only $399 MSRP, so the miners will probably be buying them up.

However, AMD is apparently going to bundle most of them with games and hardware discounts initially, so that may reduce the miner buy up.

Overall, the GPUs have about the same SP compute per watt as the GTX 1080 and 1080ti, but have bother higher compute perf and power consumption. Games perf (at least until drivers mature) is probably more like the 1070 and 1080.

Vega 56 SP compute perf/watt is the same as the GTX 1080 (50 SP GFLOP/watt).

Vega 64 SP compute perf/watt is slightly below the GTX 1080ti (42.9 vs 44 SP GFLOP/watt).
Out of curiosity, have you ever tried running barefoot? I spent four years of cross country practice in high school desperately fighting my tendency to overstride. At the start, my stride rate tended towards the high 70s (a healthy stride rate is high 80s, low 90s), and I barely got to the low 80s by the time I graduated.

The first time I went running barefoot, my stride rate was over 90. Instantly. If someone had told me, I would have been spared four years of stride rate exercises.

You might be right to claim that someone who's run barefoot their whole life will have no trouble running properly in standard runners, but if you don't already have perfect form cushioned shoes are not doing you any favors.
Since the title doesn't give much of a clue about the content, here's the article's description:

"This is the transcript of a talk presented by Richard P. Feynman to the American Physical Society in Pasadena on December 1959, which explores the immense possibilities afforded by miniaturization."
1. I'm very suspicious of studies whose main metric is self-reported happiness. Do people know how happy they are? Is that measure consistent enough over the course of a day to be meaningful?
2. If you ask someone if they have a maid or eat takeout, then ask them how happy they are, of course they'll be happier if they aren't thinking, "I need to figure out what to cook tonight" or "ugh, I need to clean the house." I assume the study was designed better than that, but secondary sources tend to gloss over this stuff.
3. Is it heresy for me to suggest that day-to-day happiness isn't the only thing worth having? There's a complex interplay between various factors in one's internal life. But I think my work ethic would degrade if someone else did my cooking, cleaning, gardening, and so forth. And my work ethic is important to me, and not necessarily because it makes me happy. And what about my financial future? If I can trade a little temporary happiness for financial security in the future, I will often choose that. I think there's something to be said for not trying to max out your happiness all the time. But I might be the only one who feels that way... crickets
Yes bricking them is hard. But as we grow older we like to have things as recall them, as that reduce cognitive load. But TVs etc are crap at reverting to last good state (as defined by user, not OEM or some automagical system).

Also, last thing you want is for it to be stuck in some "useless" state when it is needed...

At https://dev.to we have a similar product to Medium in a lot of ways. One thing we try to do is offer the benefits of Medium in terms of distribution, but also encourage users to easily make their own site the canonical source, because we don't want to force vendor lock in when you get to this point.

I'd like to think we also do a good job dealing with a lot of the UX issues that the author outlines :)
May be with very high-end servers it is. But generally it's not. I can buy 4TB HDD For $200. I think, I'll have to add 2-3 zeros for 4TB RAM machine, and I'm not even saying only about RAM, I need some server motherboard, some server processor, while I can use 4TB RAM HDD with pretty much any computer. And SSD isn't going to be even with HDD in near future as well for $/Byte. So optimizing software for HDD won't go anywhere. But, of course, it's awesome to have some alternatives if you have money and need more performance.
I learned and always thought that the phrase "tilting at windmills" meant, aside from what you wrote about "to attack...out of a delusional sense of righteousness," more like a futile task or something that wouldn't succeed regardless of your efforts. Because of that, I interpreted the previous comment not as someone who is creating enemies out of nowhere against oneself, but rather someone who is doing something (telling others that "The Digital Native is a Myth") that is a more-or-less hopeless, or mostly impossible task.

They're close, but to me there's a distinction between the two.
Medium is blocked in China. And there are as many people learning English in China as the entire US population.

Monopoly is set up as a zero-sum game, hence it is not representative of capitalism at all. Free markets are not zero sum.

That's easily shown. Give me $20 of art materials, and I will turn out something I have to pay someone to haul away. Give it to Picasso, and he'll turn it into a million dollar creation.

In fact, the entire software industry is based on creating value out of nothing.
The live http headers hacking was quite embarrassing for myself personally.

I had strong suspicions that a certain webhost a new client of mine utilized was both prone to attack, and not very forthcoming when past attacks had occurred.

So when I loaded their own website one day and found it full of ads for russian pornography... I confirmed my own bias that the webhost had been hacked... deleted the account, and moved everything over to AWS.

Changed all the passwords, freaked out a bit, etc...

Then I realized that it was just the extension I was running that injected those ads... d'oh!
I think you're right, if you view "education" as content delivery. I think that for the most motivated people who are willing to learn on their own, education is often just an access problem (hence why so many smart people have focused on creating MOOCs and other content delivery platforms).

But for the people who aren't self-motivated (which I think is the vast majority), education is more of a motivation problem. Many people in this group (including myself) were trained by the traditional educational system to view learning as a chore or a slog.

I've talked to many people who have started MOOCs, but gave up halfway through due to boredom. We often see this as the student's problem/fault, but looking at it that way means that you'll only ever focus on the small percentage of students who are already motivated.

The motivation problem is one that just delivering more content won't fix. I think solving it is incredibly impactful, and can create far more opportunities than the content delivery platforms have. Unfortunately, most solutions to it are expensive (colleges/bootcamps), or lack depth.

Perhaps that somewhat accounts for your differing impressions?

It's possible, but I think I'm accounting for that by basing mostly on personal acquaintances rather than reporting. I'm pretty sure that I know approximately the same number of people in both places, though, and I'm aware of at least 10 times the number of people who have been victims of property crime in California than in Wisconsin, and the ratio for muggings and robberies is even higher.

Over about 10 years my shop is Oakland was burglarized, and my parked (and locked) car was broken into a couple times, and then in a separate incident stolen from the lot of a transmission repair shop (which I have to say, statistically must be a poor place to steal a reliable vehicle). While I personally haven't been a victim of any violence, several friends and employees have been. My impression is that this is well within the norm for the area.

The county level data is interesting, and I think may go to show that the problems areas occur at a finer granularity. there are a lot of smaller areas with severe problems. The Oakland police department, in particular, is famous for (among other things) announcing that "officers would no longer be dispatched to take reports for most nonviolent crimes" and that although you are still encourages to file reports online, "There will be no follow-up investigation and the primary purpose for filing the report is for insurance purposes". http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Oakland-cops-not-coming-...

My point though isn't that crime isn't so much worse in Oakland than it is elsewhere, but that I have to think that the chosen approach is exacerbating some of the problems that exist, and that it's likely that the situation will continue to deteriorate unless the approach changes.
If you would be so kind please elaborate your complication on Softlayer. I am an engineer there and am curious.

I would figured it the other way round. For me it seems that the mousers are the people that do not really learn what they are working with, and only click by rote. Those that know how to operate by keyboard on the other hand also know the software, as they had to discover the shortcuts somehow.

Where does walking fit into this? As a person that does not run but walks i notice the wear on the outer back step to wear more than other parts of the heal. I walk in a straight stride with no duck walking. Always wondered with all the miles i put in and a generally fit body, if i am doing it wrong?
David Dudley (CityLab) offers a unique perspective worth considering:

"A decade hence, we might find ourselves even more beholden to automotive infrastructure, as city streets swell with the dread “zero-occupancy” vehicles—empty cars roaming about running errands for their affluent owners. And those left behind by the first car revolution—those whose paychecks are already consumed by automotive expenses or who rely on increasingly shaky public transit networks—will be even more hopelessly marooned in the mobility deserts that remain."

I'm growing more concerned that self-driving cars will actually increase traffic. There is an equilibrium found based on a driver's willingness to drive. Once we eliminate that need for a driver, that equilibrium disappears.

For example, if I have a sudden urge for ice cream and I see that my freezer is empty, I have to make a decision whether it's worth driving all the way to the grocery store just to buy a single item. Suppose I decide, no.. it's not worth the hassle.

Now introduce an app that allows me to send an autonomous car to the store, have the employee fulfill my order, and the car brings back my ice cream. What you'll have is a horrible gridlock of people using these cars to buy single items at a time, out of impulse. Before, the hassle of me having to drive to the store stifled that impulse. Without having to drive to get the items I want, I no longer have stake in that matter. Who cares if traffic has gotten worse? I'm not in it.

[Edit - add another scenario:]
Consider another scenario. My friend wants to borrow an item X from me. He doesn't need it immediately, so I may decide to drop it off at his house next week when I drive over to visit. Now with a self-driving car, heck... why not just send the item X over to him now? It's no hassle to me since I don't have to drive, and he gets it sooner. But now I've just placed more burden on our roads and our environment.

This also spells a bad scenario for climate change, if it increases the amount of vehicle-miles traveled and CO2 emissions.

While it's possible for autonomous vehicles to reduce sprawl by eliminating vast parking lots and road space, I think a more plausible scenario is that people use self-driving cars as their own personal butler, picking up items here and there from stores, increasing the strain on our roads. After all, if you had an app on your phone that allowed you to order a vehicle to pick up items from a store, all in the comfort of your own home, wouldn't you make a butler out of this car?

[Edit]
Perhaps what self-driving cars will enable is a plethora of what amounts to useless and wasteful voyages.

Whatever the alleged reason, Monopoly looks to me like it was invented as a fun game rather than a allegory for anything at all. It does seem to be trying to resemble actual economic activity at all.

For example the Banker is not only a kind of public service, but is performing a service only vaguely related to what banks do. And in what world do you need to own a whole neighbourhood before you can put a hotel anywhere?

Now Bohnanza (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bohnanza) has some resemblance to real capitalism, but is also too much fun to a lesson in anything.
I would be lonely doing remote work. I prefer to go to an office and interact with people every day. Sometimes I don't want to interact with them, but I wouldn't want to spend 8 hours a day alone in my house.

Coworking spaces might work. I haven't tried it, but I imagine its different interacting with people who aren't relevant to what you're doing all day.

Interesting, but it concerns me that the first two citations are not in a very reputable journal:

Silly. Comparing the entire infrastructure of bitcoin to just a tiny sliver of the credit infrastructure. You need to include on the other side, all the energy the employees use, the buildings, the gas in their cars, the computers they run, and all of this for the related companies and the like. Or you just look at the cost in energy of finding the one correct hash for that block-- which again is going to be two or three orders of magnitude less than a credit card swipe (and the communications systems it needs for an auth)

Further, the cost per transaction in bitcoin a year from now will be about 1,000,000 times lower due to Lightening Network.

I know there's a political desire to demonize bitcoin (this is vice, not exactly an objective source) and that ignoring one side of the equation to try and make bitcoin out to be an environmental evil seems the best approach you can get but its' absurd on its face.
Thank you so much for this, for me Deep learning Part 1 was a top notch course that really helped me learn by actually doing things in variety of topics (e.g competing in Kaggle, creating spreadsheets to understand collaborative filtering & embeddings, sentiment analysis using CNN and RNN etc).
I found the top down approach to very effective in keeping me motivated as I worked my way through the course.
It took me 6 months of watching(and rewatching) the videos and working on problems to get comfortable.

I have done a few MOOCs: Andrew Ng's machine learning, Coursera ML specialisation, edx Analytics Edge and all of them were good learning experience but fast ai's deep learning part 1 really stood out.

For me, the combination of Deep Learning Book + Fast ai MOOC + CS231n (youtube videos & assignments) cover almost everything I want to learn about the subject.

@jph00, I'm half way through neural style transfer and I am loving it.
OK, so when you see a game that looks like shit, you have a hypothesis that it's a Unity game, and vice versa.

You can prove a lot with studies if you happily ignore simple facts of life. The food on the photo looks like a KFC bucket. That's really healthy. Since 1.5 months I only eat takeout because I recently moved. A few days ago I had the worst cramp in my leg ever (not thaat bad, but still ;)) so now I'm having mineral and vitamin tablets every day - yay. I wonder which body part would do funny stuff next, if I continued. By the way, I only eat chain fast food like KFC around once a week.

Actually I even literally conducted a one-year self-studied on take-out. I was saying to myself: so yeah, burgers contain all those vitamins and proteins. If you combine them with a water instead of soda, can't be that bad, right? I didn't only eat burgers, but I ate a lot. Apart from that I was often a "normal" restaurants. After a year I felt really unhealthy, for the only time in my life my belly gained a noticeable volume - friends told me.

And yeah, about the maid thing.. I value my privacy, also I wonder how people manage to take more than 15 minutes to thoroughly clean their bath room or pile up stuff in their kitchen. (Ok, been there myself when I was 22 or so - but it's really no deep science.)
"It’s estimated that there are as much as 2 billion parking spaces in the US alone and a third of them are in parking lots! That’s over 42 billion square feet of space..."

That seems to be off by about a factor of 5 - or it is too late for me to do math. The article seems to be using 21 sqft per space. A typical space might be 8'x14' or 112 sqft each.

If we can eliminate some parking spots that will free up alot of space for something else.
Correct. I think it takes only 3-4 companies to collude to 'attack' the network.

But that' d knee cap the value of the currency. Which in turn would nuke their profits and render their capital outlays useless.

The clickbait title is designed to appeal to a set of people that are frustrated with life at this time. Either they have the money and are able to do these things or they don't and see it as something to strive for even though their toil might be for nothing .

The title has the opposite effect for people who don't believe that these actions will help them. I am not sure if this is intentional or not but it helps it to go viral. The article is so polarizing that people would want to repost it on their Facebook / Twitter or whatever and criticize it. Of course this has the side effect of spreading it to more people and thats the point.
but, but, but it's the future of advertising!
You're right, my advertising experience is limited. My background is software engineering and only touched advertisement with placements on my blogs, and advertising on Facebook back in like 2005 when they were still college only...those were the days you paid a flat fee, based on the number of users at a university, to advertise at an entire university!

In regards to measuring performance - discounts were offered if they mentioned the 'web special'. Zilch. We actually spent money on Direct Mail, and mailing out coupons within those packs in an envelope. Direct Mail...is not cheap...thousands of dollars. Other franchise owners said word of mouth will drive the most customers.

We only had 1 customer come in with a coupon, and she was already with communication with my wife prior and just wanted to know if she could stack it with another promotion.

My wife has been up and running for 3 months, and every customer is by word of mouth. It is a franchise, so their friends and family have used it. They would drive by and see the pylon sign, or searched online and found our location. The amount of customers is say, 60 over 3 months. It is a service that families pay reoccurring.

The service, without being specific, is tutoring. So the customer base would be say, within 5 mile radius with kids in elementary - high school. Ads were targeted to the 3 zip codes that surround and specific key words were used, including generic "math classes", to competitor's brand, to the local school names. We've had luck by sponsoring a school, as well.

I don't know what metric is most telling, or if you have time. But I pasted some censored metrics here (http://imgur.com/a/j69Qv). I would be open to giving Google ads another shot if you feel I can tweak it for better performance...and any resources you feel would help would be appreciated.

Thanks!
