Ill-equipped:

I'm ill-equipped to play basketball at a professional level: I'm not particularly huge, I have weak knees, and I broke my arm as a child in a way that prevents me from shooting correctly.

However, I love basketball and have spent many hours of my life improving myself at it. If I was well-equipped to play professionally, I probably would do so.

Choose not to:

I am well-equipped to walk the Appalachian trail. I have done multiple-day hikes before, and am confident I would be capable of achieving this.

However, taking seven months out of my life to walk across some mountains doesn't appeal to me. I choose not to do so.

Does that make the difference clear?
So how exactly does this work? And why is it more effective and how does it allow you to run super lean while producing the same amount of power? Also, presumably running lean would mean lower emissions, but is that really true?
I would think that the means that banks charge for dealing with cash inputs, either directly or indirectly, to cash heavy businesses.
How would you describe the "true" inflation rate if not by the what the average person buys?

It seems like you have a lot of different prices in the economy, and if all prices stay the same, except milk goes up 20% and yachts fall 20%. How much has inflation changed? You have to pick some way to weigh the prices. And it seems to me that the best way to do this is weigh them by how much the average consumer is spending on them.
Apologies, I should have relaxed more of my verbiage. I was writing on my phone, and only about halfway through my post did it "click" what you meant.

HTTPS would be an odd choice, if only because I don't want to do any cert management for my selenium test runner. An encrypted channel makes some sense, but I'm not sure what the best mechanism for the shared secret would be. Ssh kind of gets you there, but is not as straight forward, as you ntoed.

Instead, I'd urge to keep the communication at localhost (or tunneled over SSH, at worst). Preferably with a locked down security model on the network so that you will see any traffic going off.
Yes, it's a crude metric. The other thing is disengagements are self reported, and an unplanned disengagement doesn't necessarily mean a crash was narrowly avoided, it may be an overly cautious test driver, or the result of some non-safety critical intervention.

After the core software problems have been solved, the key challenge shifts to discovering edge cases, which become progressively more marginal the further advanced the software becomes, and the only way to find these edge cases is through 1000s of miles of driving waiting for unexpected situations to show up.
That's an odd phrasing for sure.

I assume what they mean is that you can purchase a special license which allows you to use moongoose without GPL (typically for proprietary use), for example, x264 and x265 (well known GPL licensed encoders for h264 and h265) does exactly this.
It's trivial for anyone who would try to use the analog hole to begin with.
Gah, terribly confusing terminology. This is a Diesel engine. "Compression ignition" is what the Diesel cycle is all about. It's just carefully tuned such that it can run on gasoline instead of kerosene (i.e. "diesel fuel").

And mostly I don't get it. This is just a convenience factor. If you want a high-efficiency diesel right now you can buy one already. Low-volatility fuels are already more energy-dense (i.e. fewer losses carrying the stuff around in the tank) and require less energy to refine. This gives you the advantage of being able to pull into a gas station without diesel available, but otherwise doesn't seem to add much.
This is called "expedited checkout". This is a merchant option to help speed up the checkout process. However the merchant is then taking all responsibility for fraudulent transactions.
I've been there. Anybody who says that they've never been blinded by biased journalism or fallen for an internet hoax is lying to you, and possibly their own egos as well.

That being said, this episode is an excellent example of why it is always best to avoid taking "sides." When someone takes a "side", the newspapers, data brokers, social media companies, advertisers, and everyone else rejoice in the profits of "engagement." Meanwhile, precious time in this life is wasted on a trivial concern, forgotten within a month.
"We welcome Walis. Women can include a guardian in their conversation for extra peace of mind."

That seems incredibly sexist to me. Women need a guardian, wtf...
Great book recommendation btw. On Writing Well by William Zissner is a great one too. Less autobiographical (but the Stephen King bio IS great and inspirational - still recommend)
If we take this approach, then we should raise the taxes on the rich immensely. When they complain, we'll point out that they are richer than John D Rockefeller! How can they possibly complain about their lot in life after that case winning argument?

(Also, by spreading the wealth more evenly, society would likely progress faster. Less solid gold iPhones, more standard iPhones. Less Bugatti Veryons, more Tesla Model 3s.)
I have the badge.
The author took the "I'm not sexist, but..." approach to this. But sadly, because of that, people seem to think he's some kind of objective observer.

If you have to make that kind of declaration, then everything you say afterward contradicts it.
Excellent. But more likely this user will see an uptick in ads for self-help products and antidepressants.
CAGR of median house prices:

For like period to like period (1980-2000), the tracking error is a cumulative 16% over a 20-year period, or about 0.4% per year.

But I liked the links? Not really. The value I get from watching stupid cats has no connection to what they're getting paid.
I believe that "tribeless" politics is the only kind that can actually yield effective solutions, and that the tribal manifestions of political behavior are primarily focused on dividing into in-group/out-group and enriching the in-group while punishing the out-group.

I choose to remain tribeless.
With the 1980 chart: if we should be ensuring high income growth to people according to their income percentile alone then gradually you'd assume they'd move up along the curve (since its income, and not wealth, and income*growth over time would move to the right then).

In this world, everyone would slowly move up the curve according to their tenure/age.

However, if we believe that people should have income growth more dependent on their willingness to work (rather than just income percentile) then over time, with high income growth on the low end, those most willing to work would move up.

In this world, then the income growth is a dependent variable of 'willingness to work' and logically would move up the income percentile over time as labor re-sorts itself into higher income growth percentiles based on that willingness to work.

One simple chart doesn't tell you much. It'd be best to see cohort effects across this time period to see if the bottom percentile is a bunch of 18 year old kids now (millennials), versus a bunch of prime age baby boomers itching to work hard.

Having said that, the cohort effects I've seen are reassuring, but there are still big issues. The main point is that this chart isn't that great at saying anything conclusive.
Anita Hill: Class Actions Could Fight Discrimination in Tech
>I wouldn't be surprised if the overall work involved in handling cash ended up being more costly than card fees.

This is definitely the case for the underlying costs as you can imagine. Doing an online transaction is much cheaper these days than operating trucks, cash sorting, etc. It's however not always the case that banks will charge merchants less for cards than for cash handling unfortunately. This has maintained the weight of cash as a payment method past it's actual usefulness.
Gah, you're right, thanks. Edited.
In this case I suspect it was inefficient algorithms by me. To be fair it went like lightning (400fps) until I added textures as it was just drawing vertical lines before then.
Dating apps right now feel a little like pre-Facebook social networks. There is one for every niche.

I wonder why there isn't a platform for single people where dating companies are just apps on top of the platform. Seems like bad user experience that a user needs to maintain multiple accounts.

Don't get me wrong, I think this is a great idea but I think the really big company in this space will be a platform for single people.
"A perfect recipe for people to argue past each other about it."

Well put. Regardless of what side you take, I'm sure everybody understands that this is a controversial, emotionally-charged topic that must be approached with extreme care. This fellow did not do so, and created a firestorm in his wake. That alone seems like sufficient reason to fire him.

It's sort of the verbal equivalent to lighting a match to illuminate a darkened oil rig. Maybe you just wanted to illuminate things, but there are better ways to do it.
This ^ Exactly this. Now if every person in a rural area sold their car back to the manufacturer and then those cars were used to service those rural areas than there is a possibility. But cars will still be purchased because of rural areas. I live 120 miles from my job. My neighbor is a mile down from me. If I want to drive to nearest town, where a car service would most likely be located, I'm not waiting the 30 minutes for it to pick me up. And it doesn't make financial sense for them to have one closer to my house.
Yeah, it's really weird to me coming from the rest of the Internet to have random people I've never met say things like "Beautiful", "Great work", "I love it", etc., instead of, say, what you'll get in the comments of a youtube video.
So is free association.
A few harsh comments in play store are interesting too :p

and many downvotes are because there are in-app purchases. Seems to be quite a problem with play store. They should have an algorithm or UX flow to weed out such reviews.
Yes that's exactly what's happening under the hood. I'm definitely looking forward to the constexpr operator being accepted!
There's a difference between what's listed and what actually moves.

The Washington Post usually is the official voice the USA Gov. Can someone tell my why the allegations this time are different than Saddam's WMD?
I believe that was my point, yes.
Reposting a comment I posted in another thread with more details.

Fun anecdote: My girlfriend's mom has a double PhD in both computer science and accounting. Her dad is also an electric engineer. She is also really good in math.

She passed advanced math classes in a few months of studying. Did her algebra and got into a top school for engineering. After months of me persuading switches to SWE.

Few semester after despite having top grades she drops out of CS and now does design

I've asked her many times what happened and the only reply I got was: it's not for me. Given her incredible talent I find this hard to believe.

I still catch her checking out CS course material and even her mom argues with her over this. She can get her a top position in SWE team at top company as she is a senior analyst there.

Yet she still insists she likes graphic design more.
Either we are pushing women too much to get into CS or there is something inherently wrong in this field that disallows them to get in, it might be the culture, it might be the hours, i don't know..

For her, I know for a fact the issue wasn’t that she found it too difficult, she had top grades during her last semester in CS

I should also mention both the university and the company have diversity programs in place to embrace minorities.

Anyways, just my own personal experience with this issue

I am really baffled.
More or less usable. They did have a tendency to blow apex seals after 80k miles, which was could end up as a full rebuild of the engine. As far as how finicky a rotary can be, the biggest thing to do is let them warm up before driving, and let them cool right down after you're done. They were never an engine to replace the standard fourbanger, but they weren't any more finicky than say a BMW or Audi at the time of the RX-8
And this is one where I find myself falling back onto (ironically, per the thread?) Dykstra's algorithm. Which I did not learn recursively. It makes much more sense because the "path" that I am recording is a first class thing in the algorithm and not a byproduct of the implementation.
Mazda says it has made a long-awaited breakthrough in engine technology
The reason is pretty simple. The German craftsmanship is underpaid and pretty much everyone moonlights a little. In addition the German financial authority is worse than the NSA. No transactions no questions.

I wonder if there are geosynchronous orbital strike platforms aimed at North Korea you know those God's rods. Maybe they are more effective when in low earth orbit higher kinetic energy.

Edit: seeing that one autonmous vehicle that landed after being in orbit for 2 years wow.

Edit: I will admit I am ignorant to politics, in general a dim, barely lit bulb. I don't get the whole thing, not care about his people, yet they get aid from outside. I could understand the "bully" or "ominous threat" the outside world nuclear threat. Wanting your own to be sure you're safe. But the thought that you'd risk your own country but hey what does he have to lose. I saw that copy of OSX.

Also sound conspiracy but I've never been there myself. I'd like a real time satellite stream of North Korea or something. I just see what is in the media/assume it is true. Not much of a "deep web" user to "find the truth" haha. I don't know I'm a sheep. Nothing.
Perhaps our civilization is not yet ready for direct contact with the Culture. Hopefully, someone and her drone are working on the problem.
And James Watson has some pretty wacky ideas about biology, but he still discovered the structure of DNA. I'm not sure how not to take most of this, other than as ad hominem.

Other people have cited links elsewhere in the thread [0], and I don't feel especially compelled to be redundant. Not sure what to suggest other than googling some Austrian economists and their views on inflation.

"Sure they do. It's not a free pass but it is very very very helpful to have a strong foundation in classic ML and statistics."

I think the poster was asking specifically about the credentials of the course, not taking the course itself. And I'd argue that it's probably not that interesting to most prospective employers, since they'll care more about things you've actually accomplished (example projects, etc).

> If he thinks Google's policies are detrimental to productivity, then he has to put his money where his mouth is and go start a business where he can implement his own hiring policies.

That only works if you are good at entrepreneurship and management in general. Most developers aren't (me included), so I think changing jobs to a more compatible company is the better option.

At least that's what I tell myself - punishing bad management decisions by quitting jobs/projects seems to be the most effective way of changing how software development is run.

> The guy should have quit then publish his paper

I think for those who agree with him, his getting fired only proved his point. If he did it the other way around, nobody would have even read the paper.
This is nothing new, and certainly not restricted to capitalism. Most of the great works throughout history (sculptures, paintings, compositions, etc) were commissioned, often with a specific purpose and conditions.
Also, do you allow other religions to use the App? Why? why not?
> A big parts of software development is like this.

I believe you, but all I can say is thank god I've never had exposure to someone like that. If anything, for me it's a bit of a red flag when someone is interested in the stack more than the problems to be solved. That just doesn't seem to align well with being adaptable and solving each problem in the best way.
You mean facebook?
The intention is to extract value from your unoccupied home without irritating the neighbors/running a tenement.
My assumption is that meritocracy would apply at work, not to society as a whole. If you assume we are talking about a country, sure, it is all kinds of fucked up and broken and will never fly.

But, currently, women, people of color, etc, seem to be "last hired, first fired" plus generally paid less for reasons that appear to be something other than their objective ability to do the job. I would like to see people hired because they can do the job and paid what they are worth and not some discounted value based on skin color or gender. To me, that would be a meritocracy.
That's right, cause Linux cannot run on the large class of microcontrollers - particularly, those with less than 4M of RAM. Mongoose OS is targeting that category.
You need to adjust those numbers for inflation [1]. The result for inflating $17,000 from 1970 to 2000 is $75,448.45. So $119,600 is about a 37% increase which is not a lot more than 34%.

I think there's a difference between someone who is left, and someone who is a leftist. Leftist tends to be used to label communists and socialists, where "the left" generally includes progressives, social democrats, and so on. It's a pretty subjective concept though and easy to split hairs on. You could reasonably call Obama or Clinton centrists.
There is also the matter of debt. If a company pays the bosses millions and takes on debt to cover it then there is a shareholders protest. Why as a country is the US racking up the debt when the bosses of USA inc. are lining their pockets? Shouldn't they get their bonuses when the bills are paid? If nobody got a raise due to war debts or earthquake damage but the bosses got bonuses when times were debt free then I could live with that.

My company has a founder with all the trappings of wealth: the cars, boats, houses etc. However he did bring a product to market that many people find extremely valuable. He also built a company that hires 200 or so directly with many more jobs relying on his company. Nobody grumbles about pay. Some day I hope to emulate his success in a downsized way.

My boss struck gold with a hit record that everyone wants. Although there have been patent trolls to deal with none of that success has been due to a tax anomaly or bribes paid. Also the product is green although could always be greener.

So why tax my boss so he only gets a fraction of what he earns? I understand higher rates of tax, that all makes sense, however there will be a small minority of hard working bright people able to be phenomenonally successful. Are these the bad guys we dispense with come the revolution?
I was actually pretty annoyed by my bank having issued me a contactless VISA card, but for a particular reason: I already have a contactless card for paying at the university canteen, but with the VISA card also in my wallet, neither the canteen's own terminal nor a merchant's VISA terminal can pick up its respective card's signal properly without having to take the card out of the wallet.
Real estate markets are local. This analysis only works if you do it for every local metro region and then aggregate. What you'd find is "jobs or affordable housing, pick one." Metro areas with hot job markets have inflated massively, while metro areas with bad job markets have seen little real estate inflation or even deflation. The end result is that you can't get ahead. Good jobs mean you're just shoveling it all into real estate.

This is actually a well established economic principle known as the "law of rent." I've wondered if maybe the middle class explosion of the mid century was driven by the automobile since it allowed cities to physically expand. This allowed people to temporarily escape the law of rent. But now we've hit the limit of that, so the law of rent has re-asserted itself.
> speaking politically on either side is a bad idea.

Part of the current concern is that it has become common to speak on just one side in tech culture. It is seen in some circles as morally superior to be on the side of social justice no matter what the context is (or what other justices are at play).
This is great news and fits in nicely with the Visual Studio marketplace and other attempts by Microsoft to enable publishing content focused on admins and developers.

Well, with so much effort to isolate North Korea and bring them on the path of war with repeated threat, I would not expect less from them.

Heh. I mean an engine rebuild at 80k seems kind of crazy. I am both continually amazed at the ICE and at the same time can't wait for it to die out. It's such an archaic technology. Hell, a turbine engine would be so much more fun to have in a car!
