The next big opportunity will be if and when some new category replaces phones for mobile computing, e.g. augmented reality glasses/contacts.
It's nice when people get simple tools to do great work. The PowerShot A650 is a decade old point-and-shoot. He's installed a custom OS to get RAW support, and averaged several photos together to reduce noise, and what a great result. An EOS 5D wouldn't do much better.
Samsung makes about 3-4 Billion profit in their smartphone division per quarter. I'd say it would have looked a lot worse for Samsung and their share price.
A number of my friends purchased the AW2 for running, and none of them use it anymore. It simply doesn't have the battery life for long runs (>3 hours) if you're actually using the GPS. This rules it out for marathons, as it dies before you finish (even for BQ-qualifying times. And note, this was the non-LTE version of the watch; if the LTE version has worse battery life, you're not going to be organizing anything post-run with it.)

Additionally, they noted that sweat made using the AW2 problematic, due to the way the touch screen interacted with sweat. It's not a problem once you finish and can wipe it off, but it's a definite issue during the run itself.

Finally, the GPS on the AW2 sucks. It's the quality of early-2000s GPS watches. The watch is great for tracking time, but if you're trying to track pace or distance, you're going to need another data source.

Best bet post-race: keep your phone in your race bag, grab the bag after you finish, and use your phone to coordinate.

I think you are making a classic fallacy of 'argument from ignorance'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_from_ignorance

Your proposed experiment cannot tell us whether current techniques fall short.

The experiment can only demonstrate when we are there, after the fact. It cannot demonstrate that we won't get there on our current heading, and it can't even demonstrate that we're not already there.
I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Chris Lightfoot's beautiful interactive time travel maps that he did with MySociety and Stamen Design:

MySociety Travel Time Maps

Interactive maps of travel time and housing prices in London

MySociety, an NGO which builds websites that give people simple, tangible benefits in the civic and community aspects of their lives, came to Stamen with a remit to explore two fascinating datasets: median prices of homes throughout London, and the time it takes to travel from one place to another throughout the city.

Sometimes, it’s more useful to know a journey time than it is to know the distance.

That’s why people often refer to ‘an hour’s commute’ rather than ‘40 miles’.

Mapumental is a beautiful tool to show public transport travel times, from or to a chosen postcode, on a timebanded map. These can be embedded in websites, apps or online tools, or used for internal research purposes.

Transit-time maps, also known as isochrone maps, are not a new idea: there are examples dating back hundreds of years. But the online technologies behind Mapumental are new – and have unleashed a great many possibilities for all kinds of users.

> Empathy is hugely important. [story of own problems]

It's not 'empathy' if you don't notice it until it affects you personally, or you're only doing something because it might affect you in the future.
Google is pretty terrible at finding that stuff (as well as DuckDuckGo.) Instead, the first two or three pages of results are the SEO kings, often with identical copy. https://millionshort.com is a search engine that is entirely a reaction to that.
Works flawlessly AFAICT
Share price doesn't dictate how much money they have. Amazon makes buttloads of money; they just choose to use it rather than give it back as dividends.
I can't figure out why this attitude is so prevalent among techies. Imagine if we gave up on computers because there was a bug!
Note that in Taiwan, most companies offer a year-end bonus (at Chinese new year) of several months of salary. At the minimum this is 1 or 2 months, but depending on individual or company performance, it can go as high as 4 months (and in extreme cases, even more!). Hence the monthly salaries need to be multiplied by 14x or 16x or more, rather than 12x to get an annual salary.
My point is 'how much can money matter when a 3x-10x spending advantage doesn't translate into victory'?

One part of me wonders if we see the correlation because candidates who are more likely to win get more money as sort of an 'advance' for favors? If I knew that my grocer was about to become a sheriff, I'd volunteer to pay $6 for a banana just to be sure we were on good terms. I think speeches work broadly the same way - banks pay politicians 400k to recite a 15 minute stump speech they've already delivered and both parties get to act like it was a legitimate transaction without any additional elements.

the only way I could test that hypothesis is by comparing the money a candidate raises verses their expected chance of victory. But I think I'm somewhat vindicated, candidates in races that are perceived as close seem to haul less than candidates in safe races. Pelosi raises a ton of money and I'm not sure all of it is given to beat the helpless Republican who runs against her. Now there are other factors at play but it's not coincidental that candidates who are the most appealing to the establishment seem to out-raise people who threaten the establishment.

I think the deeper problem is that the political class thinks they can compensate for an unappealing candidate with money.
It would be interesting to reproject a map by mutual travel time using isomap. I suspect error per point would be very high, but still interesting.
Nah, I understand. I had to attend a 1 day class in my university on how to properly use Google and Google Scholar. I also miss some of those operators and tricks.

But nowadays, it's not as simple as just machine learning to understand your query, but the way the information is stored is less and less like a text storage. If I search for something involving "car' it's very likely I'm okay with results containing "sedan", "vehicle", or various brand/model names of cars. I'm also probably fine with "vehcile" or "vehiclle" or "carr" but not "cat". And Google is well aware of this and considers this when building their model.

Furthermore, the way you ask SHOULD change answers, especially because it attempts to automatically answer you at the top of the page. A search for Sigma and What generally means I want to know what it means, how to use it. But a search for "why" should bring up the historical reasoning Sigma was chosen over another letter, or another culture's alphabet entirely. That's too much information to fit into any result for simply "Sigma", and the query is too vague to help pare it down.

I do agree with you though that it is declining for technical information. But I think overall it has gotten much better at becoming a general "window to knowledge" and I think it's worth the tradeoffs.
Oh, I see, the observance of the Law is just an excuse.

If you state "that same party wrote carbon copies of them in other Estatutes" you have to give us sources.
This is good idea but could be done differently. One major issue is that time is not only the optimization criteria. For example, if there are two places both 30 minutes away but one requires me to take tons of turns through narrow streets while other is straight forward highway driving then I would chose the later. Hack I would later even if cost was 25% more. Others may have some other criteria, for example, eating near river shore instead of in dirty back alley.

The bottom line is that you can't just throwaway physical maps. One way to marry your idea in physical may might be to color code places according to how far they are.
Purely out of curiosity: Who appoints those judges?
>The issue is you're stuck thinking that any other race is your enemy.

I am certainly not "stuck" thinking anything, and I never suggested anyone was my enemy. All I've suggested is that different policies will benefit or harm different races unevenly, and that in general people will be biased toward their own race.

>just want equality

You're not paying attention. I've already been over this. Even if they really do want equality, that's just a vague concept. It means different things to different people. There is no agreement over what objective criteria should be used to decide whether something meets the definition. When it comes down to deciding whether some policy promotes "equality", people are going to be influenced by their bias. You haven't once addressed this point.

>Equality is a concept

Exactly, it is just a concept. There are no clear, unambiguous, universally agreed upon criteria we can apply to some particular policy such that we would all come to the exact same conclusion. There is a whole lot of gray area, and that is where bias comes into the picture, even in the ideal scenario in which everyone is pro-equality.

>These people are all jackholes...

These people are the ones that publicly embrace their bias. They are not the only ones with a bias. Everyone has a bias. Not everyone is biased in favor of their own race, but most people are, consciously or not.

>you break the peace

The imaginary peace, which I have conclusively demonstrated cannot exist.

>Its not demographics that are a problem

Right, it's the fact that people are biased.

How to Choose a Developer for Your Business Website
Politicians are looking for people to represent. Democrats in 2016 was textbook example of that. Not the kind of people I was referring to in my comment. To be fair to you, I did say "Politicians should...".

I would like to rephrase that as Representatives among people should start patreon campaigns. People should choose a person among them to represent them and really believes in what they want, not give in to an professional politician looking to represent you no matter what their individual beliefs.
I want a Dell XPS M1530 shell with modern specs. So keep its 15.4" 16:10 screen (no short 16:9), aluminum casing, removable battery, and Linux compatibility. Add a back-lit keyboard, 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD, Blu-ray drive, 16GB RAM, i7 CPU, Nvidia GPU, and USB 3 ports. I'd pay a premium for that.
They're fermenting the protein out of yeast, so it'll definitely be the exact same chirality as any protein in your body at the amino acid level. If you were to take the leghemoglobin extracted from a soy plant and the leghemoglobin fermented using yeast you'd essentially not be able to tell the difference. The only thing that might give it away would be some of the trace contaminants (you'd have trace soy protein versus trace yeast protein), all of which you eat/drink regularly anyway (that is if you eat soy or bread).

Full disclosure, the founder of Impossible Foods was an advisor of mine in grad school.
If you have a garden, then yes, you absolutely have an AC power on the outside for things like lawnmowers. "Most houses" seems widely inaccurate.
As far as I can tell, the company doesn't get anything as the shares are traded back and forth. Yet they're still beholden to a lot of short term chasing, because that's what shareholders demand.
Might as well do away with the position of president too. That's way too much power in the hands of a single person who, as donald regularly demonstrates, could act arbitrarily.
Forwarding it to Paypal and getting a response that it's legit is certainly interesting.

Note that the primate evidence showed that the girls played equally with the stuffed animals and the wheeled toys.

This reminds me of colour preference, where girls are more likely to say they like pink than boys and so people conclude pink is for girls and blue is for boys, yet if you ask what their favourite colour is, the top pick for both sexes is blue.

So the evidence on trucks doesn't support the claim you replied to, but maybe they'd be on firmer ground if they said boys had proportionately less interest in stuffed toy animals than trucks.
Yeah, and you feel so powerful downvoting everyone who doesn't aligned with your political strategy.

Can't let those dirty commoners have access to the juiciest investment opportunities. Those should be reserved exclusively for the already-wealthy. And if they complain, say we know better and it's for their own good. Of course, everyone knows the already-wealthy are smarter than the rest of us, and only they are capable of doing the unfathomably complex math needed to evaluate an investment.
What I personally think he should have said was this:

"Good question Son. Glad you asked. See, the US needs to maintain a military sphere of influence between the resource rich regions of the former Soviet Union and the heavily populated regions of South East Asia. Additionally we would like something of a base between an emerging China and Russia, Pakistan and Iran. You've played "Risk" right? It's a strategic thing see. The terrorism angle is all bullshit. That's just to sell the war to the public. There. Happy now? Great, go pack your bags."
Left a comment below, but chirality is not an issue at all here. It's yeast-derived protein and it's made the same way biochemically as all proteins in your body or that you've ever ingested.

From another direction, how does "mandatory sidewalks" make medium density apartments more viable in that locale? Is it by putting the onus/cost on the city/taxes to develop the sidewalks, thereby acting as a subsidy for the apartment developer?
"This process is much like tiling a floor in accordance with a specific pattern: once the pattern is chosen and the first tiles are placed, then all the other tiles must go in predetermined spaces in order to maintain the pattern of symmetry. Water molecules simply arrange themselves to fit the spaces and maintain symmetry; in this way, the different arms of the snowflake are formed."

> The only people who should be politicians are the ones who'd do it with no campaign funds and median wage

Perhaps a better way to phrase this is to only allow candidates who make within, say, 10% of the median wage for their district, and they would only get paid median wage in office.

I don't think you would need to do away with the presidency. But it does need additional controls and safeguards put in place. Controls and safeguards that have existed but have been removed over successive generations.
Nothing time and money can't solve. And if there's one thing Google has, it's money.

The problem is that Google has the attention span of a hamster on crack. Instead of giving a new handset platform time to grow and mature, it'll jettison the whole project before it gets a chance to gain traction.

My daughter is writing a novel where that is exactly where we have wound up. Basically, votes on bills in the legislature are openly acknowledged auctions. And the rich have more privileges/civil rights than the poor.

I find objects are excellent for... well, objects. Things with private state and behaviour. Services, GUI components, and the like. Functions and records are excellent for business data and the transformations of business data. ¿Por que no los dos?
Without EC, there is little incentive for low population states to remain in the union. Giving low population states is the method for which a united states of America stays united.

Look at Europe. The seats in EU is regressive representative to the nation population. This mean that some very small nations are allowed a seat while having a population that's a fraction what a seat of a large nation, while large nations still have more total power than smaller ones. If EU followed popularity vote, then a bunch of countries would likely never bother being part of EU and you would get an EU that's just a handful of countries that may or may not even be neighbors.

It'll be harder when you keep projecting the shortcomings into the minds of your listeners. This is a problem with evangelists.

I'm not as old as this person's Dad nor a professional economist, but I get crypto just fine. I was arguing for Phil Zimmerman's right to distribute the source code to PGP back in the day, so understanding blockchain concepts wasn't especially difficult for me. But I'm not so convinced about the desirability of having an ever-expanding wallet file or the long-term viability of a currency that isn't formally backed with anything; scarcity alone does not confer economic value. Fiat currencies issued by governments are ultimately proxy ownership certificates for resources under said government's control. Speculative money can flow in to inflate the value of Bitcoin, but the problem is that it can just flow right out again too. If people decide they like some other means of exchange better in the future, doesn't the market for Bitcoin have only as much value as the total of futures contracts that specify payment in that currency at the spot price?

I was able to explain to him that it's like I took $20 out of my wallet, passed it to him, and he put it in his wallet EXCEPT that Bitcoin instantly "teleports" the money from my wallet to his. But also everyone can see that happen. But also no one can see that it was me and him who did the transaction.

Then why do mixers exist?
"How about just let the market decide?"

That's what was the problem; the market was deciding it was a great idea to rip people off.
Buying an existing team probably makes more sense than starting one.

For the native platform I feel that "make JavaScript be the language of everything" was basically forced on people if they wanted something to work on iOS because it's one of the only languages that are allowed on the platform. It is especially useful because you can do minor updates to your app to support bugfixes and faster iteration times.
Having developed native android and ios apps in the past the greatest benefit i saw immediately using react native was the use of flexbox for layouts, it's so much simpler compared to ios' autolayout and android's xml layout.
They should instead buy a SoC company like mediatek and build own SoC competing apple AX series and Qualcomm 800 series with additional processing engine like neural engine etc.. also they should buy imagination technologies previous GPU technology supplier for apple which is already up for sale

This could greatly enhance android and they can start selling SoC along with software. If not they are dependent on Qualcomm to catch up with apple.

I'd like to see a version of this where you can input a list of errands - work, groceries, daycare, gas, gym - and it distills all the travel into a single dot. You pick the dot with the least amount of time and it gives you a list of locations in the order you should travel.
Not the same business though. Not sure about the USA, but in Europe, there can be multiple trademarks for one name, limited by the field of business. Simply put, a shoemaker and a software vendor can use the same name.
Well stated. The EC doesn't eliminate the problem that is often cited as justification for the EC, it merely moves the problem and arguably makes it worse by creating these unchangeable silos of states unwilling to listen to viewpoints from candidates of a different color than the one they prefer.
Agree 100%. I graduated high school a little while ago (2008) but was absolutely unable to find anywhere that would hire me as a high school student, even though I would have loved to have a job and have some spending money of my own.

Interesting.

I'm working on delivering a Postgres based job system right now; we cycle through states from an ENUM, landing eventually on a terminal state. Worker jobs (containers on a cluster) don't directly manipulate the state of the table, there's a controller system for that. Each controller in the (3-node) cluster has 2 connections to Postgres. Old jobs are DELETE'd when it's been "long ago enough".

Prior to addressing deadlocks from doing too much per transaction, initial load testing for this system suggested that the database was not the bounding factor in the system throughput, but rather worker throughput. Initial load is estimated to be under 500/day (\yawn\), but pushing the load to 100K/day didn't alter the outcome, although it made the cluster admin mildly annoyed.

One key reason I prefer to have the state machine switching / enum approach is that it's logically obvious. At a certain point, I am sure it'd have to change. I'm not sure how many concurrent mutations to separate rows a Postgres table can tolerate, but that serves as a hard upper bound.

Author: what kind of volume do you tolerate with this kind of design?
