Good reasons:

-More money for a bigger/other project.

-Desperate for cash.

-Don't want to deal with bookkeeping accounting hassles.

Bad Reasons:

-Income stream about to dry up (although buffet did OK with that scenario)

-Fraud/Scam - probably need to do some research on this to find ways to detect it.
Pingdom tools weighs it in as bigger than that. https://tools.pingdom.com/#!/Mn0e2/https://feathericons.com/

Looking at the site usage, there's an advert weighing in at 36KB that uBlock was nicely hiding from me, but the biggest thing in the page is the web font, 48.58 KB worth. The site looks great on a browser with web fonts blocked, so I'm not sure why they're wasting bandwidth, effort and additional DNS resolution and TCP handshakes there.

Great site and there are also other quite helpful suggestions in the thread such as Icomoon.

Problem is that the next time I need SVG icons I will forget these sites, try to google them and ending up on those sites that perform well on Google's SERPs but want money for clean SVGs.

This happened to me two days ago and I just fired up Inkscape and remade those icons. However, this took too long.

How can I remember such sites the next time I need them?
It's called "monitor".
The denominator used is "college-age population". I wonder what the charts would look like if they used "4-year college attendees".

I'm not saying that's the only way to look at things, but if the overall attendance rate for 4-year colleges is lower because a large swath of the population self-excluded from 4-year colleges, it would surprise me if that effect didn't show up in the data.

Now, you could fairly ask why that large swath selected out of 4-year college, but the answer there probably isn't in the recruitment and admission processes of the specific colleges even though that's where the problem appears.
Quote:

By contrast an eternal, infinite universe, has
no creator and renders the concept of god irrelevant
and useless. The infinite, eternal universe precludes
god, does not require god, and is completely incompatible
with the creator god worshipped by Jews, Muslims, and
Christians. There is no need or justification for
religion, or a belief in a creator god, if the universe
is infinite and eternal. In an eternal universe god
becomes a creation of man, rather than the creator of
man and the universe.
The fundamental reason is that no chipset mfn is going to separate the modem from host on a single IC. Thus you are adding a second complex BGA package and interconnects that take up space.
There is something very funky about the numbers used in this article. All their charts are measuring "enrollment gap", defined as (percentage of college-age population) minus (percentage enrollment). But this conflates changes in enrollment with changes in population. This is especially obvious when looking at the graph for Hispanics, where the number of college-age Hispanics has greatly increased from 1980 to 2015; the "gap" has grown from 3% to 9%, but without using a ruler, it's hard to tell whether the actual percentage of Hispanics attending college has gone up or down!

This makes me feel like the author of the article is trying to deceive me, and I'd much rather get numbers from somewhere else.

Not splitting the community because the guy is an asshole is still splitting the community between "people who will put up with the asshole" and "people who leave the community because of the asshole". This gives the people who left a place to go. And possibly ends up creating a bigger community where being an asshole isn't tolerated.

Or maybe not. But it's hard to know without trying.
> concerns about decades old technologies. Remember [...] Things have really changed in the last 50 years

A cautionary tale about this flavor of argument.

I saw a panel of Boston city planners. They complained about still getting grief for the "original sin" (their phrase) of some really bad decision making (like Boston City Hall) in the 1960's and 70's. It was half a century ago they said. We're not like that anymore they said. They seemed quite miffed about it.

Then they later mentioned Boston's recent Big Dig, and some of its impacts. And the description was surprisingly distorted. Not even a defensive "none of the failure was our fault!", though that was implicit. But more, almost an obliviousness towards causality. And certainly no recognition that their brief description of their field's "no longer relevant" 1960's flaws, seemed to overlap quite a bit with failure postmortems of the Big Dig.

This combination of arguments was remarkably effective in trashing their perceived credibility.

Of course Uber sees an uptick in bookings. None of the people using the service in almost 200 countries worldwide are tuned into the daily drama of Silicon Valley.

Normal people want to get from point A to point B in the most comfortable, efficient, cheap way possible. If that means Uber then so be it. If that means Taxis then so be it. If that means Didi Chuxing then so be it.

It just turns out that Uber is well positioned and offers a compelling service in many countries around the world and so enjoys the resulting growing business.

I don't mean to downplay the importance of the events transpiring around and within Uber - they are unprecedented and important to varying degrees. But most normal people won't even have a cursory understanding of those events when it's all said and done. The world is vast and people are busy.
Word, but I think it underlines a real problem. For some people with low chances of losing in the game (trust fund, property, stable family, no prior convictions, etc) life can be a game about maximizing gains. For others it's toothe and nail. When the rules of the game are historically set by people who are already too stable to really lose, it's the "weaker" players who get exploited.

Disney should make Netflix richer because they have no reason to believe they can do the following things better than Netflix: streaming gigabytes of data over the internet to millions of users, collecting payment and handling customer support.

It's the same reason that Disney doesn't operate its own movie theatres: it doesn't have any competitive advantage in this area.

Disney can offer "a $30 a month sub with access to everything" through Netflix. That is, Netflix would offer a 'Netflix channel' for $10 per month or a 'Disney Channel' for $30 per month.

Keep in mind that Netflix doesn't have much bargaining power - if they ask for more than say a 7% cut of that $30, Disney can just build their own streaming service for around 7%. Therefore it's in Netflix's interest to offer to host the Disney streaming channel for a percentage that is just a bit less than would cost Disney to build their own streaming service.

>> Would a monitor do it for you?

That's funny because I've been planning to but a TV for use as a monitor. Looking for 4K UHD curved 55" with 4:4:4 of course. This would be like having 4 (2x2) 27" 1080p monitors, including having them angled inward. I figure my desktop would be partitioned into 3 columns each 1280 wide, so playing 720p video would be 1/9 of the screen space.
The prosody and and continuity of the speech is dramatically improved. This is hard to do and very impressive (especially given that it is being done on-device).

Personally, I'm less pleased with the actual new voice itself, although that is more a subjective judgment. After listening to many hundreds of voice talent auditions for Alexa, it's hard to step back from that level of pickiness.

Diego Ongaro's Raft paper[1].

I used to prefer a 0-dependency, no-build format for sites. Nowadays if something doesn't have an npm module it's enough for me to not want to use it for a variety of reasons.

I used to install "dependencies" by copy and paste and was happy, but because I didn't know how it could be better. Despite all of npm's woes (which are many) the concept is sound, and not just for JavaScript.
To make matters worse, at least for some people, you can't tell which search result leads to to an AMP page, and which doesn't -- they have removed the little AMP logo.

The obvious problem scenario is when unpredictable evasive action puts an autonomous vehicle into the path of other drivers (with human response times). That's when very sharp responses to an uncategorised "obstacle" that's actually a drifting plastic bag or a reflection cause more problems than they solve.

Similarly, instantaneous harsh braking might help an AI save the small child it didn't anticipate might chase the football that flew past moments earlier, but a human capable of grasping that footballs are associated with pedestrians making rash decisions might have braked early and gently enough to not get bumped by the car behind. (If they didn't, they might find their late reaction blamed for the accident and possibly even get prosecuted for driving without due care and attention).

The UK requires every learner driver to sit an exam consisting of identifying CGI "developing hazards" where they're scored on ability to rapidly identify stuff that might happen before they're allowed to do the full driving test. I'm sure a key focus of the teams the article discusses is teaching AI similar cases like gently slowing in the event of a football-shaped object moving near the road (which is likely far from the most difficult or obscure novelty to teach an AI to handle) but the problem space of novelties humans handle by understanding what things might be and how/if they are likely to move isn't small or one there's good reason to believe plays to AI's strengths

OTOH, this might provide impetus for their audience to find out how to access the dark web. That is, they might think "well, I guess we've reached a tipping point, and from here on out more stuff is going to be censored off the open web. Might as well find out about this dark web thing since that's apparently where stuff is going to end up."

This assumes that their audience is technically savvy enough to get on the dark web. My understanding is that much of the audience skews young, and would either be able to figure it out or would know someone who could help them.

I'm only talking about the African-American portion (is that word still used?) for now, stats on Hispanics are harder to find.

Perhaps a significant part of it is because those groups have lower IQ's on average? I think it's kinda strange that the article doesn't even entertain the notion that intelligence is genetic.

According to Wikipedia[0] it's 15 to 18 points lower on average for African-Americans than for white Americans, which would imply that only 11-18% of African-Americans have an IQ above 100.

I get that it's taboo to talk about groups having "worse genes" in some respect than white people, I guess I can thank the fucking Nazi's for that. I definitely don't think any individual should be judged based off their group identities, but I do think it's hypocritical to only accept the discussion of racial differences when it's to the benefit of minorities (e.g. "Jews/Asians are smart", "certain Africans run best", "white people/especially Asians have tiny penises").

Perhaps "Affirmative Action" even hurts a portion of black students, by lowering the bar and funneling them into colleges that are too competitive for their abilities; that would be a possible explanation if there would still be an achievement gap after corrections for IQ.

Affirmative Action is partly about admission standards, so I interpret it as assuming someone was measured to perform worse, because of some kind of systemic disadvantage that will leave them once they're at university. However, I don't really understand how you'd tell the difference between someone being plain under-qualified and someone being under-qualified due to unjust circumstances that will "magically" correct once they're at university. I'm on shaky ground here though, I don't know that much about AA.

Meta: is my post at all "trollish" to anyone? I tried to be as neutral as possible but perhaps I overreached somewhere, I'm fairly new to this topic and it's hard to always distinguish between information that can reasonably be assumed to be factual and baseless or exaggerated claims.

This area of knowledge is mostly discussed by white supremacists, I suppose partly for lack of liberals even wanting to consider the notion that IQ is genetic. I must admit I'm slightly grateful to them for spamming comment sections because they inspired me to start studying media, history and politics.

If you say "Hitler did nothing wrong" I think you're dead wrong and you should learn to troll better or go home, but history sure is more nuanced than I previously thought, and the people that complain about steel beams actually seem to have more solid evidence than those who support the official story.

I also think it should be more acceptable to discuss these non-mainstream perspectives, because even though they're wrong they highlight different parts of history, and if they're taboo you also can't find sources that will refute them. It makes it harder to curate a well-balanced perspective.

I felt frustrated by the typical Node toolchain until I remembered the typical Qt toolchain for developing cross-platform desktop apps. I can't remember everything, but here goes.

To compile a Qt app you need:
- the meta object compiler (moc) to add dynamic features to C++ for Qt use
- the Resource Compiler (rcc) to embed icons or sounds as arrays in header files
- the Qt Quick Compiler if you are using QML files for your interface
- the C++ compiler, linker, etc.

This is either driven by CMake, qmake or your IDE!! I see you can use Qbs to generate the CMake or qmake files! I remember learning CMake, make, ant, etc being non-trivial!

Oh, and you were on your own when it comes to dependencies!
