> Try doing that, and you'll find plenty of opposition from actors who earn money on production not being evaluated for quality. Also, even if you set this up, you'll likely face an increase in food costs for the transition period in which the producers readjust. And that is a political no-go.

It has to start the same way organic food did - As a choice - Not something that is done across the board. That would never work for some of the reasons you've stated.

Higher quality food would naturally be more expensive, there's no way around that. That cost needs to be passed on to the consumer and then the consumer can decide price vs likely better taste and higher nutrition quality.

So whenever someone pearl-clutches about something nebulous like this without actually providing direct evidence it's important to look at how reliable they are as a source. In this case, the guy openly supports ANTIFA and has literally called for the pre-emptive murder of "Nazis" to help "convince" their followers:

"The moral and ethical response to fascism is violence. The fascist does not care about errors of thought, or respond to logical argument."

"Observe the fascist reaction to Damore's "scientific" reasoning. No one supporting him cares about actual science or free thinking."

[...]

"Historically, the only successful approach has been to publicly hang Nazi leaders and imprison Nazi sympathizers."

[...]

"A common objection is that we should try to convince Nazis to not be Nazis. I agree. We convince them by killing Nazis."

[In response to people suggesting that education, rather than murder, may be the best option]

"[Not NPM CEO] I'm all for education. The more immediate problem is that we have a bunch of white asshats running around playing Nazi."

"I think you meant to say: "The more immediate problem is we have a bunch of Nazis." "playing Nazi" === "being a Nazi""

My guess is that Apple takes battery life over everything else. You can tell that Apple has kept a consistent Talk Time/ 4G usage time over the years with iPhone. And some of these consideration means Podcast on Apple watch a little harder to get right.

And I am wondering, how much would people paid for longer battery life on Apple watch? We do have the tech, solid state battery, it is simply too expensive if it is used in the size of smartphone, because solid state battery prices scale exponentially with size. But what about Smart watches?

The author seem to loose the point of FP, as is the case with many web programmers

Async != FP

Back in my high school days, FP was almost strictly about usage of pure functions above anything else.

The late comers to the party, the React guys, then bunched FP with async stuff, and function polymorphism. That was wholly apocryphal to the original FP idea.

I can still cite my high school teacher citing Niklaus Wirth: "If a function does not interact with external data in a any way other than reading them from its inputs, the whole program can be represented as a spreadsheet"

The original advantages were states as:

1. a program written in this manner is very easy to optimize.
2. an interpreter or a compiler executing such program is easier to program, and is less error prone
3. for as long as a kind of middleware sits in between the "spreadsheet function," and the data, it is possible to write a continuous execution log with ease, as well as to do tricks with getters/setters to start execution from arbitrary points in code.

All of that is stuff from times when Oberon and Modula were "hip" (seventies)
Baudrillard was on the left but was absolutely scathing about Marxism. He thought was a total theoretical dead end and a flawed reflection of the systems of capitalism it sought to overthrow. See his The Mirror Of Production.
I'm glad AMD is competitive again. Yes, Intel just surpassed them, but at twice the price. Plus, I suspect that competition pushes Intel into releasing better chips quicker.

I'm not really part of the "prosumer" market (what a word!), since I don't have a burning need for that much power, but it helps move prices lower in the middle and bottom of the performance range when the top end improves.
I don't understand how the edges-to-faces can possibly work. The inputs seem to be black & white, and yet the output pictures have light skin tones.

How can their algorithm work out the skin tone from a colourless image. Perhaps their training data only had white people in it?
We keep hitting these barriers with proprietary software and locked down hardware. Hopefully the guys behind https://puri.sm/shop/librem-5/ will be a massive success and then turn around and do a smart-watch version.

It's not cliché, it's true. You fundamentally can't get back information that has been destroyed/or never captured in the first place.

Yes, a low-res image has lots of information. You can process that information in many ways. Missing data can't just be magically blinked into existence though.

Copy/pasting bits of guessed data is NOT getting back information that has been destroyed or never captured. Obscured data is very different from non-existent data. Could the software recreate a destroyed painting of mine based on a simple sketch? Of course not, because it would have to invent details it knows nothing about.

I think it's almost dangerous to call this line of thinking cliché. It should be celebrated, not ridiculed.

I think to do this, one will need to heavily lean on regulatory support. In particular, law would be needed to force companies to provide accurate information about food quality, content and production process. Otherwise it'll end up exactly like organic food did - a mostly bullshit fad propagated by misinforming customers. I mean, lots of people are still willing to spend more money for better food, but the food needs to actually be verifiably better, not just differently marketed.
That's also a good approach, and indeed much simpler! What I think it doesn't take into account is that you need to have more than just the 2048 tile on the board in order to reach the 2048 tile, because it takes a few moves to merge the tiles, and during those moves the game continues to add new 2 and 4 tiles. That explains why it's a few moves lower than the estimate from the Markov chain analysis.

I take your point that the 'at least 938.8 moves on average' phrasing could be clearer, but it's the best way I've found to express the result in a small number of words. More precisely, I'm claiming in the first post that:

1. The number of moves that it takes to win is a random variable, because it depends on the sequence of 2s and 4s, so we can talk about the 'expected number of moves to win' (i.e. an average).

2. The 'bag' game without the structural constraints imposed by the board always takes fewer moves to win than the game with those constraints.

3. The expected number of moves to win for the bag game is 938.8, so using (1) and (2) this yields a lower bound for the expected number of moves to win the full game. (There are no decisions for the player to make in the bag game, so there isn't really a notion of 'perfect play' for the bag game. It's more like a 'bag process'.)

4. By playing lots of games of 2048, I found that I could get pretty close to this lower bound on average, at least when I played well (no major blunders).

I hope that's clearer!
New Ownership Model Accelerates Adoption of Electric Vehicles
I read it recently, and it was a major influence, that passage. It's a bit too ambitious to describe everything we do as a species, so the book does get a bit stale partway through.

The central idea isn't wrong at all. It's quite clear that we've created a bunch of cultural shared "items" like the the limited liability corporation and such, which are useful but don't really have a physical existence. That doesn't mean they're easy to create or destroy either.

My first step would be to learn both the display: flex and display: grid syntaxes. They eliminate the need of 90% of the hacks of floats/clearfixes, and table layouts. For this you can get familiar with the overall possibilities with these games:

- http://www.flexboxdefense.com/
- http://cssgridgarden.com/

The next big bite to take is responsive web design, using Media Queries, which involves getting mostly rid of any fixed width and rely on %, calc() and modern units like vw and vh to size your content.

CSS Tricks has a great article to get started: https://css-tricks.com/css-media-queries/

Good luck to you on this new adventure!

AS a cancer dad about 5 years ago the American Cancer Society (The largest cancer fund in America) got a lot of heat from parents who's children had cancer. The ACS would have pictures of Children for their donations champagne and less then $0.005 for every dollar would go for Pediatric Cancer Research AND they cut funding for all other Pediatric funding (AKA Camps and assisting families). They finally changed a LITTLE bit in 2016.

Federal Funding of Pediatric Cancer Research funds. People age 0-18 get 4% of the funding and do not benefit from research for adults since 0-18 your normal good cells are also dividing and growing. Research for Pediatric Cancer benefits EVERYONE since they tend to be less side effects and effective for all. Children went over 20 years before their with only two new Chemotherapy drugs for them while they were advertised by different organizations to get funding. St Baldrick's funded research came out with a one that ends up being VERY effective.

No, Facebook spies aren’t secretly “following me”, it’s a hoax
> When an automated script that alternates pressing up and right and left every hundreth (sic) time can beat the game, then well, that's broken. Is Threes a better game? We think so. To this day, only about 6 people in the world have ever seen a 6144 and nobody in the world has yet to “beat” Threes. But that’s what’s better to us as game designers. We worked really hard to create a simple game system with interesting complexity that you can play forever.

To me, it seems the argument of the linked article basically boils down to: their game is too easy so it's bad. Does a game need a really long email chain of back and forth to show that it was well-designed?
"If plants were tested after production for indicators of plant health and labels could be put on vegetables indicating quality"

It's a fine idea until Monsanto, et al., find a way to subvert the standards and bend them into an anticompetitive regulatory mote via government lobbying.

What we really need, as Step Zero in any plan for wholescale reformation of American society, is to reimpose and reinforce campaign finance restrictions and sever the direct financial ties between our big corporations and the politicians who serve them.

Some readers may choose to see this as a line item on the progressive wish list. I see it as a necessary precondition to any attempted societal change whatsoever. Right now, the very heart of our issue is that the government no longer serves the people of this country; it serves moneyed interests, nakedly and shamelessly.

Obligatory Star Trek reference: America has become Ferenginar. We think we're the Federation, but we're headed down the wrong path for that. We are effectively an oligarchy at this point, heading in the direction of totally dysfunctional kleptocracy. The "us vs them" mindset tearing us all apart right now is a symptom of political polarization, which the lobbyists would consider to be a feature and not a bug. Until our voices matter to politicians more than David and Charles Koch's billions, we're fucked. Nothing will change, and anything we try to change will be immediately corrupted and turned against us. The fox bought the whole damned henhouse.

Wow you type a lot under most topics.
I was going to post the same. I think the learning has to be split in three components:

* CSS: learn how to use flexbox and grids, the rest will follow.

* HTML5: this is pretty straight forward to learn IMO, maybe someone has a good resource? (that does not talk about JS at all preferably)

* JS: This one is tricky, if you really want to learn more about JS it is its own big world. Two advice I would give: learn the latest JS version and use a transpiler. The most popular framework seems to be React, so learn how to use that.
And porn and games always lead the way on innovation.
If you find yourself wanting to get a solid mental model of CSS, I highly recommend blocking out a few evenings to work through The Pedantic Guide to CSS [1] as if you are a university student studying the complexities of cellular metabolism. A Spaced Repetition app like Anki [2] is really helpful here. EDIT: I've found that for best effect, write flashcards that lead you to think through some reasoning about how a layout attribute works.

You might also find the games Flexbox Froggy[3] and Grid Garden[4] useful.

Does your model support root nodule nitrogen fixation? I've been looking for simulation software to estimate optimal levels of nitrogen fixers, but I didn't find any comprehensive models that included this. I didn't look at your model for it though; although I did come across it several years earlier when I was looking for plant growth simulations for another reason. In what way(s) does it diverge from EPIC? EPIC & APEX are (widely) applied for policy evaluation purposes (how much sense that makes is another matter, but let's just accept reality for now); is your model robust enough for such things, I mean comparable to EPIC? And does it still run on Windows 10? I tried to install it but got some error that it failed writing to a registry key, and then I didn't look any further.

We're in Germany, and have tried for 4 months to get my sister's Nexus 5X repaire d or replaced. The damage was caused by a third party, who is willing to pay for repair or replace.

So far, so simple.

It's been 4 months of calls, emails, faxes, and sending the device back and forth between Google, LG, the insurance, and the repair facility.

Google says they're not responsible for Nexus devices, so we should talk to LG. LG says they're not responsible, we should talk to Google. We got someone at LG to discuss this, and they told us to send it to their official repair facility. They just sent it back because of a typo on the form, or because the insurance didn't say fast enough that they'd fund it, or because "dunno".

We've now taken the device to Media Markt to get it repaired, and it took 2 days.

Never ever are we going to buy a device from Google again.
Haskell. There is a clear advantage in having a strong type system that lets you develop in userland what can only be language features in lesser languages. And language features means wait for it to be developed.

Also the compile time certainty that things line up is hard to live without.
Optimal size of team in one room is about 2 - 3 members. Any outside disturbance is likely to affect all team members.

Intel must be pretty desperate, according to the review article -

* Intel doubled the price of a threadripper 1950x for giving you a 8% increase on multithread performance (measure by Cinebench R15 scores).

* when Intel could't afford to match AMD high end CPU's 60 PCIE lanes, they invented the term "platform PCIE lanes" to include those from chipsets.

* when Intel couldn't match AMD's TDP, they came up with some different TDP definition, as a result the 165w TDP Intel 7980xe draws 15w more than a 180w threadripper 1950x.

Intel must have a pretty good propaganda department known as "marketing"?

for those who believe Intel is responding to AMD's challenge - no, it is not, according to leaks, Intel is about to release i3-7360x, which is going to be 1.25% faster (yeah, 1.25% faster, no typo, source linked) than the previous generation. when you can fully utilize your well established marketing department to fool consumers to buy your overpriced slow processor with far less cores and PCIE lanes, why bother giving those customers anything better?

https://videocardz.com/72775/intel-preps-dual-core-i3-7360x-...

* why Intel released Q6600 10 years ago and made quad core mainstream? because AMD was competitive.

* why Intel repeatedly refused to make 8 cores mainstream in the last 10 years? because AMD was not competitive.

* why Intel finally made 6 cores mainstream 10 years after the release of Q6600? because AMD is competitive again.
