Even with negotiations, If a engineer said in a Google youtube talk "Oreo is Americas favorite android," they could set themselves up for trademark infringement.

If Google had a line in a blog post that said, "It's better than real Oreos", they could likely be sued.

Oreo would not like Google saying either of these things. So Oreo needed to make up legal documents to map out all the things Google is allowed to say about Oreo Android. It seems like an unnecessary legal headache - one for dubious marketing gain.

To an extent I feel like there is a dividing line in the type of optimisations that I should aim for.

I'd aim for Typed arrays and avoiding intermediary object creation, because those reduce the intrinsic work load (especially for things like float32 where you are giving a nod to the system to allow slightly worse results)

Aything where the optimiser should be able to figure out what to do I'm much more hesitant. Inining variables is something that I don't feel should be neccessary.

Anything that is just massaging the optimiser into making the right desicion runs the risk of making it worse on a different engine. That different engine may even be a later version of your current engine.

There are topographical map apps that are handy, so that you can use your phone as a GPS unit in the outdoors. Obviously you don't want to rely on them entirely for navigation, but it's a nice supplement to the map and compass, and a lot cheaper than buying a dedicated GPS unit.

Other than that, Google maps does everything I want it to do, with the one exception that I can't pin arbitrary locations. I really want to be able to pin locations, the best I can do is send the location to someone else, but I can't just save it on my phone.

At Google, it is completely not out of the ordinary to make 300k a year as a senior, or 200k after 2-3 years with the company. To get a remote job making that is orders of magnitude more difficult.

Also, nobody wants to hire junior remote people, so if you go to MIT it's either 160k at Google or 40k remote. Maybe after 4 years at Google someone'll be willing to pay you 50% of what you make there, but you don't really want to move away after being in a place for 4 years to get a remote job and be completely depended on your employer.

I'm from Eastern Europe and I tried to get a remote job before emigrating. I applied to dozens of places and could only get an interview at one company that was paying about 25k because Eastern Europe is cheap anyway. Was rejected for lack of experience. Got a job in Western Europe for 4x more.

In addition, the are many many interesting things to work on at Google and smart people to learn from, whereas the few remote jobs that exist are mostly making CRUD is the web framework du jour.

tl;dr There is almost no market for remote devs.
I'm not sure what your point is here and your tone indicates you're not really looking for honest discussion. But FYI Android reports energy usage statistics to the user on a per-app basis. What I don't like is Android the platform telling me the user how my phone is best used. It's pretty crippling. Let's say I'm deploying Android on hardware that is always plugged in--something kiosk-style. Why shouldn't I be able to have an app that keep a persistent connection open to a network service for say real-time communication? You can't do that now.
There was software such as PCKeyboardHack/Karabiner and something else before that that let you do remappings not available through Keyboard Preferences. Every Mac OS X release breaks keyboard internals and things like PCKeyboardHack stop working (Sierra was out for almost a year before Karabiner Elements was fully functional). Mac OS X support for custom keyboard layouts is atrocious, and IMO Macbook keyboards are garbage compared to shaped (models up to x220/t420) Thinkpad keyboards. If you look around at some of the different keyboard layouts and try some remappings out what you will probably find is that remapping Caps Lock to Backspace is the best for general typing (this started with the MIT AI Lab's "Knight TV" terminals designed by Tom Knight). I haven't tried it but this should be possible with Karabiner Elements in Sierra now.

It's not the same because white supremacists and other groups like this are not recognized by civil rights laws designed to prevent discrimination. These laws are specific and they single out groups that experience persecution due to history, culture or minority status, such as sex, age, color, sexual orientation, etc. Hate movements are not considered protected groups (in my opinion for good reason).
I thought a polymath was someone who had mastery of more than one very difficult / elusive / elite skillset.

There's a chance of that, but up until now all such attempts have been stupendous failures. The Kemper plant in the article was a $7.5B failure.

Much more likely is an innovation in the battery sector. Utilities are finally waking up to the huge value proposition of batteries on the grid. They can be used instead of upgrading transmission and distribution infrastructure. They can be somewhat easily relocated to new sites if projections of electricity demand were wrong.

There are a ton of flow technologies that are on the cusp of being really useful. Lithium ion tailored for the grid is already the cost winner for several applications.

I do hope that we come up with some carbon sequestration innovations, but I doubt that they'll be tied to coal in any way. Possible, but extremely unlikely. If there was any horse to back in the race, there's more than enough money for horse to get out of the gate. There are a lot of people with assets that are close to getting stranded.
Assuming I'm looking at the same thing, it seems like the part relevant to house hunting would be a small area roughly between Grant Ave and Lewelling, which is technically a bit north of Hayward, split between San Lorenzo and San Leandro.

There is also the park/bird sanctuary/landfill near Winton, but that's not residential.
This actually scares me because I have extensive experience in knockoutjs. It also used a reactive system. The problem was once the UI became sufficiently complicated performance would suffer greatly. If you had a lot of computed properties changing a piece of data could result in a lot of UI thrashing as each of these are recomputed. I'm not sure how Vue solves this problem, or even if it does but overall the architecture was inadequate.
Sorry, I just realized that I failed to point out which part I was saying was "a straight-up error"; it's kind of buried in the sentence. My mistake! With emphasis this time:

>By trading places, students could get another shot at a place. At schools for which they already had a go in the lottery. This would give them better chances. At the expense of students that don’t (or can’t) trade. This is unfair.

The emphasized part is what I'm objecting to. Sorry about that.

I once delivered a public speaking course to a group of prisoners about to go on parole. It was really eye opening to see how low confidence most of them had, and how bad they were at expressing themselves. In my opinion prisons should be made a lot more like college - make it that prisoners are forced to learn skills instead of being forced to do nothing.

I think in terms of, to keep it simple, a 1-10 scale.

1 is nothing, you may or may not have heard of the field.
7,8,9,10 are increasing degrees of expertise

Given that sort of scale, I'd argue that a true polymath rates a 7 in three or more fairly distinct fields that don't have significant overlap with each other.

I think the problem, or watering-down of the term, are the abundance of folks that are around a 3 or 4 in a bunch of areas, maybe enough to get an entry level job that requires knowledge of the field, or roughly equivalent to minor or concentration in an undergrad program. In short, Jack of All Trades != Polymath.

You are totally right, btw. It is very difficult to eat food based on any sort of nutritional principles. Start from a simple place: I want to limit my consumption of phytoestrogen compounds (isoflavones). Some of them are much stronger than others. Some foods you consume in much larger amounts than others. And, save for extreme cases, phytoestrogen hasn't been shown to cause any real problems in male hormones. Still, they seem worth avoiding.

I guess the point was, it really depends. If you are already getting isoflavones from particular sources and you are controlling for that, then it might make sense to avoid other sources as strenuously as you can (avoid Soy). Which, for me, the only real source of them in my diet is chocolate. Plus not all isoflavones are created equally. Some have stronger estrogen-like effects than others.

In moderation some health benefits. Anyway, I was just pointing out if one of your dietary rules is to "avoid soy" then use a different chocolate bar. It is very difficult to use scientific evidence to build a diet as there is a lot of contradictory evidence the studies available for a given nutritional topic are often of dubious quality. For example, try and take something like the book from T. Colin Campbell, The China Study, and make an evidence based opinion on if he is correct or not. Then look at the work by folks like Ray Peat. You can find endless supporting and non-supporting evidence for virtually any food or compound in food and it becomes a real mess to develop any sort of evidence based diet that isn't "controversial" to some large chunk of reasonably well educated people.
Only ~15% of coal production, historically and presently, is coking coal. The declines in American coal production/use over the past decade are dominated by declines in thermal coal used as fuel.
I don't really see the parallel to the other generics listed.

Sure, talking to somebody about how you "googled" a search term is analogous to asking someone to "pass me a kleenex". Pedantic people will feign confusion, but otherwise it's totally legit.

Registering a domain name that uses the word "google", which is what happened here, is more like trying to sell "Puffs brand kleenex". Pretty clearly not legit, at least here in the US.
> Still can't revoke certain permissions from apps (like vibration).

You can revoke individual permissions from apps. Settings > Apps & notifications > App permissions on Oreo. I think this has been in since Marshmallow (6.0).

You can manage individual notification settings (including vibration) from Settings > Apps & notifications > Notifications.

I'm not sure about accelerometer/gyro settings for apps. I feel a bit different about this one. Why should I care if my browser uses the accelerometer/gyro?
What if it's not really great fit "normal" people, if geeks and nerds get on better with it. Doesn't that make it bad to try and convince people to take up STEM jobs, if they won't enjoy then as much as other roles?

I've only worked one job in science, I wouldn't describe the 400 or so people as "normal" as a population: geeky and nerdy, weird a wide variance, but not what I'd expect 999/1000 to be enamoured with.

Perhaps the lack of social skills, and friends, of a good portion of that population (myself included) was an aberration and didn't represent people who prosper in STEM roles in general.
Places that are dirt cheap usually are so for a reason: Hardly anyone wants to live there. If you're that talented, most likely you're going to want to congregate with others who are also quite talented. There's only a few places you can do that. Add in the other benefits of living in an urban area (variety of foods, cultural things going on, just more stuff to do), and there's a reason why they don't choose to do that.

Not saying that's everyone; there probably are some who are doing what you suggest. They're just not the majority.

Coal as a dense carbon source may be useful for plastics or other high-carbon production, but producers may also be looking at whether they can get incentives by sourcing carbon in ways that may qualify as sequestration.

Shaming is probably the main reason we haven't seen a lot of self identified Nazis/white supremacists in protests more often. Now that they seem to think their views are more excepted they're willing to be more public.

I remember hearing the story that one of the reasons the KKK use the hood is so they could be anonymous. The old superman radio show that was on in the 40s are so decided to take on the KKK and make them bad guys which only made people even more embarrassed to be KKK member since all the kids were playing Superman against the KKK.

Shaming is a very powerful weapon.

It can certainly be misused (against homosexuals, for example) too.
I expect those things from a web browser, I don't expect it from an application launcher.
Naming conventions in Standard ML
Yes, the incentives this sets up could be bad for subsequent rounds; that is absolutely a real problem, as I mentioned. But this passage seemed to be suggesting that trading, in and of itself, harmed students who were not involved in the trade, and that's not correct.

Notice it explicitly says:

> This would give them better chances. At the expense of students that don’t (or can’t) trade.

But in fact those students are unaffected.

In subsequent years, as you say, it is a problem. But I don't see how to read that part as anything other than denying that when just restricted to that year it is a Pareto-improvement.

You may say "well that's a self-evidently stupid claim; of course they're not making that claim, because that would be stupid". But there's a lot of people out there who really seem to believe in a zero-sum world, and are convinced that when anyone's position improves, that means that everyone else has been harmed. That Pareto improvements are fundamentally impossible. There are absolutely people out there who would make that claim.
It makes economic sense to produce olefins (building blocks for plastics and many other chemicals) from coal in China, because China's domestic fossil fuel resources are mostly coal. Gaseous and liquid hydrocarbons are better feedstocks to start from if they're affordable/abundant, like in North America. If fracking output stays high, it won't make sense to invest in new American facilities for power-from-coal or chemicals-from-coal.

The flipside of the coin is the harder it is to do all that stuff the fewer people are going to be willing to jump through all the necessary hoops.

Those that do maybe some of the hardest of hard-core. If they are the violent ones (I have to assume that the violent ones are also hard-core) then going through all those steps just associates you with violent people more. Hopefully that would turn off of other people who aren't interested in the violence.
Yep, there's a new feature in Android O that gives you full control over notifications. You can have them make a sound and pop up, only make a sound, make no sound, or not show up at all. And you can set that per app, and even per notification type if they are targetting O api

This post explains issues encountered when writing data to file system, and how Badger was checked and fixed to deal with these issues; using a tool called ALICE. Corresponding paper: https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/osdi14/osdi14...
What really struck me from the article:

>"To me, the biggest impediment for a company going out today and building a coal-fired power plant is regulatory uncertainty," Begger said. "Until you can find some sort of carbon agreement, if that's legislation or regulatory, technology, whatever, until there is some way to take that off the table, you're not going to have a lot of interest from utilities."

The US government's plan of inaction on carbon regulation is clearly hurting industry here.

Many (most?) energy companies are including the cost of a carbon tax in their future projections and planning, and in their investor communications.

The energy industry is willing to impose a carbon tax in the
US in exchange for immunity from lawsuits from emissions up until now:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/20/science/exxon-carbon-tax....

That's how certain everybody is about the need for legislation, that an industry would invite a tax that amounts to $0.36/gallon of gas.

The lack of political leadership, led by the desire to deny widely accepted science, is hurting business and planning.

This uncertainty probably helps in the deployment of less-risky resources like wind, solar, and storage. But I think that clear carbon taxes, at $40-$120/ton, would help both the environment and the proper structuring of our economy.

Uncertainty about regulation can be worse than the regulation itself.
I really wish I had bought mine on a credit card with price protection now.

If you have a need for a prescription with costs in that range, the prescription itself is likely a minimal cost in the whole scheme of healthcare costs you have.

Specialists usually charge significantly more than primary care physicians and an unforseen trip to the ER can easily cost $20k. It's not as simple as working an extra month or two.

The risks of not having insurance are utterly terrible financial handcuffs. I'm just starting down the path of cancer treatments, the coverages (or lack thereof) and costs are eye-opening, and scary.
Yeah I understand why we're in this situation. I'm lamenting the fact that it's reached this point. Maybe I'm a minority but I don't think my apps are the hottest shit around and I try to make an effort to be a good steward. IMO engineers should push back when product asks for things that clobber system resources. However the few bad examples should not ruin it for the use cases where you really do need something running in the background. I also partly blame these DI solutions that encourage devs to stuff everything in a graph they do or don't realize is tied to their application instance. I've seen this multiple times in production apps.
Yes. Thanks. My comment was poorly worded.
Aside from everything offline, what else was specific to the students and learning environment?
Does desktop have good PIP? It obviously matters much less when you have multiple monitor, but I'd love to see OS level PIP support on desktop. Aka, have a video "always on top" in the corner that I can move around and resize while browsing the web, all on the same monitor. Some programs have "always on top" support but there's nothing OS level.
