I'm surprised they lump most of English speaking Canada together. Vancouver, Calgary/Edmonton and Toronto (Torono) have, IMO, pretty distinct accents.
You can't possibly be arguing that these false positives (which are causing major hassles: losing hours to find a way to get cash in a foreign country to pay with it) are "working well".

My mom is from Rhode Island and Cot and Caught were different for her, but Cot and Cart were pronounced the same! I grew up in Northern Virginia where the vast majority of the population was from somewhere else (school bus rides occasionally broke down into arguments like Aunt/Ant or caught/cot).

As a kid I pronounced caught/cot differently but have lived all of my adult life in places where they are pronounced the same, and so I don't say them differently any more.
I agree, but there is also news about how Tesla's automatic braking features saved people from getting into collisions. I would think that might counteract some of the negative news.
See this one from six months ago:

>>It scares me to dig into research papers and to find very obvious mistakes (anyone at a graduate level is capable of this) and even worse to see how heavily seasoned some of the horrific datasets are.

It is scary, and you are right, but you can do your part by blogging about it. Doesn't have to be official, just post the text and your notes. The more people do this, the more we have informal peer-review and replication checking after the fact, and at least a loosely-connected database of blogs and articles will exist when people search the article title.
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon says Bitcoin is a fraud that will eventually blow up
Reason is also made by Facebook
Elephant in the room, why Tesla do not partner with Google for autopilot ? Google will have tons of data and Tesla will have an order of magnitude better software capabilities. Such partnership can even accelerate global automatic vehicle adoption.
Because unlike the "profession grade IDEs", this one doesn't make me want to gouge my eyes out.
> The monkey isn't acting with any real understanding of the creative situation so is just an agent of randomness, like the tumble dryer.

One of the pictures shows the monkey perfectly centered with a friendly smile on his lips. In my opinion a clear indication that he did have an understanding of the creative situation, that he did not just randomly click the button.
I think your point is void here, because in both of the cases I mentioned, the car was clearly worse than a human. Who drives into a concrete barrier or the middle of a tractor trailer truck?

If the technology were better than humans I'd agree.
Considering this is really the iPhone 7s, that's not surprising.
"...Google and Facebook have two of the best security teams in the world..."

Accepting that statement at face value, I would still caution: today they do.

What happens in 10 years when the bloom is off of the rose, and either cannot attract top talent or have ignored the need to stay on top of their game?

That data's still there.
"Bionic chip"... what on earth is this supposed to mean? Are they running out of fancy PR words in the dictionary?
It looks excellent at first blush, but calculating the value of land seems distinctly non-trivial even for honest assessors. For less than perfect people, this highly charged calculation could become a huge political football.
FreeBSD (as the other thread points out) brought us macOS and Linux brought us Chrome OS. Do FOSS folks lament this dramatic irony a lot?
You're right, however in the original scenario proposed you'd sell your property and buy another one, enacting like kind exchange. So then you don't have to pay any taxes.
I'm dyslexic and built a tool to solve this issue for me: https://getspeechify.com/ basically it lets your computer read out any text to you super easily. Even if letters are hard to decode visually, they are easy to listen to. And it takes very little time to build up the ability to listen super fast so I listen between 500 and 600 words per minute.
There will be well over a million of the 1%ers by my reckoning (google says 122 million taxpayers), which is plenty by some reckoning..
If you scroll down and look at South America, it's pretty remarkable how the clouds clearly carve out the Andes mountain range. All the swirling moisture from the southern Pacific smashes into the wall of the mountains and breaks apart, save for squirts that get through some of the valleys to the other side. I lost 10 minutes staring at all the details... really cool viz.
The new iPhone 8 has a custom GPU
If you need four to six of them, as the little Google/Waymo car did, that's still too expensive.

What can we reasonably do to stop this? This goes against the very notion of open source.
Pulling and pushing doors is what always gets me. I had a friend I did an interhship with for half a year and he'd always get a kick out of my inability to use doors in work correctly even when it said pull/push on it.

Mixing up my p's and q's, and my b's and d's were a big problem when I was young but I luckily grew out of that since they were considering putting me into remedial education because of it.

I also find I've developed a lot of my own pneumonics. So for > and < I know that the converging side is narrow and therefore it is the lesser side, the divering side is broad and as such is the greater side. Or as someone from the west coast of an island - I figure out east and west by imaging my country knowing that I'm on the west coast.

Funnily enough north/south or up/down don't cause me trouble. It's only things that have vertical symmetry or that can rotate that confuse me.
My money is on pure electric brands from China winning. The entrenched western groups have too much inertia, and Tesla will point the way but will get bogged down fighting those other corporations and their own government for sane policies.

Chinese corps will set up EV only marques and allow them to freely attack ICE competitors where it hurts, even if they don't initially rake in high profits, giving them a feel good halo and they'll get sensible long term support from their government.

At the moment Nissan, Hyundai and Mitsubishi are good mid-level electric options and I can see new Chinese entrants sweeping them aside as they take the whole market.
A fresh install (no plugins) for me uses about 300Mb. With plugins it can get pretty high

I don't think I could have put it better than that. Very well done. I am reminded of a parallel quote by Warren Buffett regarding the lack of truly good investments:

"I could improve your ultimate financial welfare by giving you a ticket with only twenty slots in it so that you had twenty punches - representing all the investments that you got to make in a lifetime. And once you'd punched through the card, you couldn't make any more investments at all. Under those rules, you'd really think carefully about what you did, and you'd be forced to load up on what you'd really thought about. So you'd do so much better."
This is exactly my plan. I'll let you know how it goes.

The Watch / iPad Pro / Desktop combo would be ideal for me.
> "Novelty" is literally written in the "guidelines for authors" sections of many journals.

A while ago I had a manuscript rejected because I used the word "novel"... so hopefully the trend of emphasizing "novel" things [1] is changing.

I'm trying to find the specific manuscript guidelines for that journal, but pretty sure they banned use of the word.

Actually, the $30k COULD be reasonable if you are at that point only being a marketer.

If you go on indeed or glassdoor, search what ever your main task is, and screen grab that average salary. Keep searching until you find one that works best for you.

Change your salary with each task by being an hourly w2 employee with different charge codes based on the task. Just make sure you track what work you are doing.

Here in SoCal, google maps is amazing at always picking exactly the opposite of name/vs number from what locals use for reading out directions (I didn't know X road even had a number, why are they calling the 192 Y road?).
I have relatively mild symptoms of dyslexia, they obviously don't present like this. The real problems came when I tried to connect letters and words with sounds. Once that came it was easy to read, and has been ever since. I barely even remember struggling with reading, but spelling and pronunciation has always been a ordeal.

My symptoms only present themselves during production or consumption. I have no confusion between left and right in my head, I rarely get them mixed up. But it took me forever to be able to tell people which word connected to which side.
When does the x come out?
You forgot lawyer up.
Not only does it have nearly identical specs, but it physically looks just like the 7. I'm not sure how they think they can pull a move like this and not damage consumer confidence.

Let's not forget who to blame for this. Pharmaceutical companies and Doctors.

West Virgina is the most effected - http://www.pulitzer.org/winners/eric-eyre

These articles shouldn't make you sad but MAD.

"In six years, drug wholesalers showered the state with 780 million hydrocodone and oxycodone pills, while 1,728 West Virginians fatally overdosed on those two painkillers" That's 433 pills for every man, woman and child in the state.

Anyway, the accent in my previous post was more on the non-Linux nature of the MacOS.
Was it rushed though?

Can you compare the number of hours driven with the autopilot and compare it to the statistics of human drivers, and determine which was safer?

This was a fatal crash, but faulty airbags caused the death of 10 people.

What selfdriving cars needs, rather than more time to bake, is a PR or lobby group, that can help spin (put in perspective) these types of events.
I wonder why they didn't call it the 7S.
their tech is not ready for release.

Sounds like a typical software development effort. we always used to say that if we built bridges the way we write software, there wouldn't be many bridges. Well, now we build cars the way we build software, and guess what is happening...

I firmly believe that this is all safety critical code, and we should look to NASA to ask how its done:

Well, if anyone will know how to operate a long-running fraud it would be that guy.

having one or two more 'open' fields of flat or single brick pvp areas might be fun.

a lot of xp is lost upon death - I understand the point but maybe a little less would make you feel like you could still come back at the person who killed you would be nice without having to creep for 5 minutes :-)

quite addicting :-) I like the simplicity.

Yep - new CPU is good. But... Anything else? The expectations were much more.
I've always hated the naming of Apple phones, Samsung and the others do it too.

Just call it an iPhone. What iPhone do you have?

I have the 2017 model. Or early/late 2017 model like people do with their laptops if two are released in the same year.
furthermore, priming has nothing to do with the situation that the person is mentioning
Augmented Reality?
Never really thought about that. I think I subconsciously interpret RAW as only meaning "file of unprocessed image data from a camera", whereas raw has more possible meanings. I know this shouldn't matter, because it's never confusing in context what one would mean.

I guess there's also the visual "symmetry" with JPG or JPEG.
New iPhone 8 with wireless charging (at last)
Paypal has existed since 1998 but it took 10+ years for it to achieve deep, global merchant penetration and consumer acceptance.

Bitcoin needs time but I don't think it's unreasonable to imagine it will one day meet and then surpass the current ubiquity of Paypal (and similar) as a payment method (especially for cross-border purchases/transfers). It already wins on utility and transparency. It just needs wider adoption (and less volatility, which wider adoption will help with).
I don't think the iPhone 8 will be $1000. That's probably just the X model, but we'll see.
I'm totally underwhelmed by the AR demos.

What the hell was that RTS thing? Walking around an empty table? That's not "augmented". There was nothing to augment!
Wireless charging if thats something you want.
All you need to do is make a copy of your image, blur that copy enough to get rid of the stars, and then subtract it from the other image. It's going to affect larger structures like the milky way, though.

If I build an airbag in my garage, and Honda shows up tomorrow and puts it in their car, and it fails because I don't know how to make good airbags, I would not be legally liable for those failures. Honda, however, would be. Your analogy does not hold up. You're reading some _very_ specific things into what is a very general statement.

I get why you'd be upset if she was attacking the things you say she is, but she is emphatically not doing that. Every single paragraph in the article is about how Equifax should be liable for their software, which includes liability for the decision to use types of open-source software.
This is very interesting if true:

A11 single-core performance is 2x that of Samsung/Qualcomm's latest flagship chips, and equal to Macbook Pro's Intel Core i5-7360u.

It's just one (I think relatively reliable benchmark) but it still gives an idea about where Apple's chips are now compared to where they've been just a few years ago compared to Intel, as well as the other mobile competition.

It's also interesting that their first mobile GPU is so highly competitive with Imagination/everyone else's mobile GPU already.
Emacs/Vim are far from being transparent. They have a very steep initial learning curve, and put off a lot of potential users as a result.
Well, Sci-Hub is the start of it all. Elbakyan deserves Nobel consideration if you ask me, and I am not being hyperbolic. She has done more for science around the world than the bottom quartile of laureates.

Secondly, supporting OA-friendly journals is the next step. PeerJ is a very good initiative on that front for a lot of reasons - they open and document the peer-review process, which is unheard of. It's a tremendous asset to look through peer review and see how the "science" is really done. I highly recommend everyone find some papers that they are interested in on PeerJ and check the peer review logs.
the rumors were that iphone 8 was being released as a small upgrade with similar price point.

When I was a kid, I lived in a house with an address I'll call 12345 Foobar Rd. Just down the block, there was a house whose address I'll call 12345 Foobar Ct.

We would get each other's mail constantly. I knew their names just as well as I knew the names of our next-door neighbors.
Its superimposing cgi from the phone onto a video from the camera in real time. Is that not augmented reality?
Put the lowest or highest amount the drop down says so it still seems unrealistic if possible. They'll probably ask about it, and again your answer is, "That information is confidential, so I just put in the lowest the form would take."

"Okay, but we really do need that information."

"That's between me and my accountant, haha. But based my my research this is the amount people in my field make so let's put this number down. -places print out of Glassdoor salary info on table-"

Ultimately it's just another method to pressure you into giving them more leverage in salary negotiation. You still don't have to give it.
Just say $1 and tell them it's confidential. You value your privacy and don't want to reveal this information to them.
I thought it was Apple branding deep learning on a chip... so far it's not

>>Who drives into a concrete barrier or the middle of a tractor trailer truck?

I have seen a drunk driver do exactly that.

Someone who falls asleep might also do that.

[edit] Come to think of it, I have almost caused an accident a decade ago. I was momentarily distracted as I turned to talk to my passenger. I was able to brake in time, as a car in front of me had suddenly stopped. Nevertheless, it was only a matter of maybe one second to avoid running into the other car. Me-a-decade ago might been in a similar accident.
woot! I never knew this one. I always see them as little slides, but then forget what means what.
Yea that is a pretty big feature. Wasn't announced at the time of my comment.
Isn't it incredible how Apple invented this and then went back in time so Samsung could steal it two years ago? They always do this. If only they'd learn not to go back in time and have people steal their ideas.
Let me illustrate. Consider this thread from dialectic perspective: a pro argument, followed by (my) cons, develops the spiral with more detailed pro followed by my (now taking it into account) counter. A very clear dialectic thread developing!

Was that easy to come up with hindsight? Yes.

Was it hard to predict the reiteration of pro and contra arguments? Not really.

Could you use dialectic approach to predict the exact character of follow up arguments? Of course not.

To sum up, none of dialectics observations are important or in any way non-trivial if you put Hegelian grandeur aside. The only attempt to put it for a practical test (Marxist theory of social development) didn't really pan out.
About the same as "A" followed by a number. Or "Pentium" or "Athlon". They're just marketing names, nothing to be upset about.
Wireless charging is baffling to me. Instead of carrying a small plug and cable around, you carry a... giant disc - and it still has the plug? It would be one thing if it was magic charging that worked anywhere within a few meters of the charger, but I gather that's impossible. You still have to put it on the disc!

I get that it's optional.
What Tesla has seems to fit that definition. In fact, what Tesla has seems pretty similar to the autopilot in airplanes — both keep the vehicle on the right course without constant control from a human, but both require a human to be ready to take control in unforeseen circumstances. If it's deceptive, it's because drivers have an overly hopeful idea of what autopilot is, not because it's a very inaccurate name.
that has never worked for me. The hand I automatically pick up a pencil with is the right hand. So I make like I'm holding a pencil and then use that hand.
It's USD 699 and up
It's so "little" it's more like projected virtuality. AR used to let you fight in your room and bounce stuff against your walls etc.
The bar is not infallible in general, just infallible at driving directly into obstacles.

Is it realistic to worry about a car that can't get that right, but is simultaneously safer than a human driver overall?
The average age of a Nobel laureate continues to climb at a steady rate. We are reaching asymptotic knowledge gains in all the major fields. This fact combined with the tenure track / novelty factor leads to what we see today.

That even smart people can be dumb.

It's 699.
Perhaps the S models had lower sales?

People tend to associate the S models with the small updates and number bumps with big updates (even though going from old S to new S is just as big an update)
O1 VISA for Entrepreneurs
I am a minority owner of my business. I obtained my O1 visa last year and I need to file extension now. For some reasons, we cannot hire the attorney who filed our case last year. Instead, we found a new one. The new attorney insisted that I need to get W-2 for this year and pay stubs. We are a LLC. Our accountant suggested I pay self-employ tax at the beginning of the year. Therefore, we cannot provide that. What do you suggest we talk to our attorney, if you have filed O1 before as an self-employee?
I think that's less relevant than it used to be. JetBrains is now the de facto best IDE for Java, JavaScript, Python and PHP. It has Android Studio and even support for C#. Visual Studio also supports a wide array of languages. I'm in IntelliJ pretty much all the time, no matter the project.
Just from the livestream it is $699 at 64gb
This is not at all accurate. Facebook keeps shadow profiles on millions of people who have never opened an account. I'm sure Google does much the same.
You might be thinking of the investigation of commercial air carrier crashes. In general aviation (loosely "light aircraft") crashes, there are still a great many of them closed with "pilot lost control of aircraft for undetermined reasons" and "NTSB staff did not travel as part of the investigation but relied on other agencies who had personnel on the ground".
I prefer something to that that I'm sure that has a name, but I don't know it (but would love to), at least for real-time things:

Let's say you have X buckets, with Y slots each. Each tick, you put the current value in the current slot of the first bucket, and advance the index by one. When the index reaches the number of slots, reset the index to 0, and put the average of all slots of the first bucket into the current slot of the second bucket. When the second bucket overflows, put the average into the current slot of the third bucket, and so on. This way you can fit both current and very old values into the same tiny graph, to give a rough impression of "level of activity" (e.g. for tray icons).

If that doesn't have a name yet because I invented it (I doubt that), I call it syrup buckets (syrup is how it can look like depending on the amount of buckets, slots and the tick speed).
