Because then you could only build very simple applications where your data model was extremely tightly bound to your application and user flows.

Once you need to do things that require pulling from many DB tables and rows in your views; enforce complicated logic about who can see what; and enforce complicated logic about who can do what, the automation will get in the way.

The thing with manually writing SQL queries and data access code is that it doesn't take as much time as you think it takes. The problem with tools that automate this is that they can be buggy, or have a steep learning curve in order to generate a reliable and high-performance program. SQL queries and data access code is very straightforward and easy for the next guy on the project to maintain.

With the hidden cost of learning, debugging, or working around flaws of automated CRUD systems, it's easier to just take an extra few hours, or few days, to "do it right," at the beginning of a project. Otherwise, you risk spending many days trying to work around problems in your framework.

But, think about it this way:

- Ruby on Rails is popular because can build an entire CRUD web application around a basic schema / data model. You start with your CRUD fully running and enhance from there. Most of your time is spent enforcing your business rules and making it look pretty; (or working around the fundamental performance issues that come with such an environment.)

- Excel is popular when the user doesn't need the UI. Very complicated business processes live in Excel spreadsheets. So, if your use case is so simple that an application could be auto-generated, Excel might be "good enough" instead.

It's completely absurd to say that transactions will be $10,000 when they are currently free, and we are nowhere near capacity, and Segwit hasn't even fully been adopted yet.

The entire "high transaction fee" narrative is due to miners profitably spamming the network to drive up transaction fees -- which they could only do with ASICBOOST and pre-segwit.

I would recommend you run your own email server. DigitalOcean offers a vm with mailinabox installed ( https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-run-... ) and that gives you complete control over your organization. At that point you control everything.

Also see https://mailinabox.email/ .

If you want to ensure delivery, route your email through SMTP.com's SMTP servers.

Gmail has an IMAP interface which you can use to import/export your email boxes and folders.

If you want a good EPA history, there's an interview with William Ruckelhaus (former EPA admin) on NPRs OnTheMedia (from 03/2017)

http://www.wnyc.org/story/how-environment-got-political/

With the help of Richard Andrews, professor emeritus of environmental policy at UNC Chapel Hill, and William Ruckelshaus, EPA administrator under presidents Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, Brooke considers the tumultuous history of the EPA, its evolving relationship with the public, and its uncertain future.
There's been lots of articles recently about reaching "human-level" performence, you should know better than to believe them. The tests are on constrained datasets and ignore many factors. You mention face recognition, you realize for every image the program correctly recognizes, there also exists an image, that you will perceive as identical to the aforementioned one, yet which the system fails for.
Rest assured, the Soviet government did not need any pressure from the outside to create its own version of hell on earth. If you doubt this, just read the Gulag Archipel (amongst others). The problems seen here do not relate to any western policies, they stem from the ineptitude of the Soviet government and pre-date any western attempt to topple the latter by "forcing" them to increase military spending:

Yup, you got it. Not just jumping back and forward, but seeking to points in time when memory changed. For instance... have some memory that got corrupted? With normal debugging you're probably out of luck unless you get some hints as to where it got corrupted. With TTD, you just set a memory access breakpoint and "run in reverse" until the memory is modified. It pinpoints the exact point in time where the memory got corrupted.
I like Keras, but I always find myself having to write TF code whenever I need to implement something more interesting. And debugging, already hard in pure TF, is more complex due to the extra layer.

IMO, learning TF or pytorch is more effective at least in the current state of affairs.

I would really suggest reading the release notes from the past two years of core development. Every release has included an optimization of one kind or another. They have been scaling all along, and Segwit is really a bundling of dozens, maybe hundreds of optimizations that needed a softfork, plus segwit itself.

I don't know why all the comments are saying this is bad idea. For me, one of thing for I use EC2 is deep learning. I just use spot GPU instance, attach overlayroot volume and launch jupyter notebook in it. Other things like google dataflow is not useful to me due to the price and the process of installing packages. I can also think of many other use cases for using some persistence volume for some manual task.

Because TF lets you run _just_ the model, with no Python stuff at all. For us there is no “server side”, our stuff is deployed on prem. The fewer variables there are the easier our lives are going to be.

Additionally, PyTorch download page warns you point blank that it’s an early version of the software and that you should “expect some adventures”. Adventures are fine for research, but inadvisable in production IMO.
Do you work in this industry? I used to work for a social games company and while 'engagement' of our free-to-play users was certainly a driver, I can tell you, the bosses cared much more about revenue. Engagement was certainly secondary to that.
Don't take this the wrong way, but 20M images per month is only about 20 qps or so (20M / 3600 / 730 => 7.6 qps, but that's unrealistically even). That's pretty manageable even on a single box, depending on the network and the size of the box. When people say they're concerned about a system in production, they often mean when needing to roll it out to many machines due to higher scalability requirements.

Disclosure: I work at Google, but not TensorFlow.
I think these are not comparable. Tensorflow is a software library, Azure is a compute environment which allows one to run, among many other libraries, tensorflow implementations of ML models.
Bitcoin is inflationary. It is currently inflating at a low rate and that will decrease every four years.

That's not "deflation".

Further, money holding its value is a good thing. The only people who profit from inflation are governments with fiat and miners with bitcoin.

The people always suffer. The only reason bitcoin is going up in value despite inflation is its use case and technological ability is going up faster, and of course it started at zero.

> The ISP's advertised bandwidth should be available essentially always, with rare exceptions for unusually high levels of traffic,

You can buy service like this, and you pay for it. At work, we have a 100 mbps line from Cogent, with dedicated bandwidth to their backbone. It's something like $500-700/month. At home, I've got an "up to 940 mbps" line from Verizon, that's usually about 900 mbps but sometimes can fall down to 500 or so. (It's 16 users sharing a GPON node so only 75 mbps per user if everyone is downloading at the same time). But it's only $90/month...
watching the talk. does he not compare this to a classic segment/call gate architecture because he doesn't expect it to be a familiar reference? i'm certain he's seen it before :)

No, the price needs to be high enough that sales support the developer. $50-100 is appropriate for a tool like Sublime. (I paid when it was $70 and previously paid $50 for Textmate.)

Lowering the cost to $5-20 would convert hardly any of the tire kickers and make people who would have paid $80 nervous about the longevity of the company supporting the product.

I'm not qualified to speculate how well those laws will stand up to a challenge as a 1st amendment issue. The SCOTUS tends to take a strong protective of the 1st view.

My inexpert opinion would be that those laws would be ruled unconstitutional, but my opinion is absolutely not an expert opinion. While I have taken numerous legal courses and have a decent familiarity with law, I am not a lawyer.

I will also add that not only am I not a lawyer, I'm not your lawyer and the above isn't legal advice. Consult a qualified legal representative, in the appropriate jurisdiction, if you need to.

That said, some areas have some pretty tough obscenity laws that are still on the books. When challenged as a free speech issue, they tend to fall - even though the law may still remain on the books and people still get prosecuted.

Florida has at least one such law and they have lost in front of the SCOTUS but still use the law. More recently, it was used to charge the folks who make the overtly degrading porn. They actor does stuff like write on then with lipstick, spit on them, etc... They used the law to charge them, though people have previously appealed that law to the higher courts and won their appeal.

I'm not actually sure how they get away with that?
No doubt they are trying-- that's why there is bcash and 2x. But bitcoin is fighting them. The odds favor bitcoin.

And if they win the 2x by getting hash power, bitcoin will fork to a new PoW and render their millions in ASICS worthless.

Bitcoin don't care.
The post I was responding to was singling out the viewpoint those "in the city(ies)" have against those (not like them).

You may notice that said response does NOT in any way reflect an opinion based on my own self or those I feel fall in to the general category called out in the post I was responding to; positive or negative. I was merely answering the supposition asked and providing a hopefully helpful critical perspective that might be used for self reflection and improvement.

A different reply to my post asked 'who's at fault': which allowed me to expand my opinion and observations to include the general population within the US.

Please do not mis-interpret my meaning or take my words out of their intended limited context with baiting and inflammatory replies that are not designed for a productive and stimulating discussion.

Some parts seem to be borderline. States have infant mortality rates on par with Thailand, Romania and Fiji. Others have life expectancy on par with Brazil, The Lebanon and Sri Lanka. Transparency International rates the corruption index of the USA only slightly higher than Uruguay (no breakdown by state unfortunately, and still quite high overall in developed world to be fair).

Obviously America is a huge place and one size does not fit all, but there are some rural areas that wouldn't seem out of place in a third world country for sure.

Because developers & designers prefer to have control over their HTML, and HTML really isn't that hard.

Any attempt to create a true multi-purpose UI builder for web applications has resulted in something more complex and hard to use than the problem it was trying to solve.

Case study:

Rewind 10-15 years and Microsoft's ASP.NET WebForms was popular (subjective use of "popular", I know), and was designed to give pretty much what you are asking for. It really did work and was great in many ways.

However, it achieved this was at the cost of a _lot_ of proprietary complexity (search for "ViewState" or "ASP.NET page lifecycle"), which over time became burdensome. Then AJAX came along, and WebForms was updated to achieve this but with even more complexity (search "ASP.NET leaky abstraction").

I was using ASP.NET WebForms extensively around this time and we found ourselves increasingly "fighting" the framework, trying to bend it to suit our specific requirements (which weren't all that radical). Also, our design team started delivering their work in the form of HTML and CSS, which was a nightmare to integrated with WebForms as it dictates the exact HTML that is used at the UI control level.

Then we moved over to an MVC framework, and were enlightened...

>If those were the same you get the advantage of migraters not having to relearn anything.

You'd also loose the ability to improve upon arcane/ad-hoc and obsolete flags and syntax choices though too.

And for the "same flags" to make any sense, you'd also be constrained to produce the same output and even recreate the same quirks.

At which point, might as well just use the originals.

I know lots of SMBs that use Wix. It's a solid platform to get started but can be kinda slow and hard to work with at times.

For some background they are an Israeli company and a few years back they opened up a Wix Cafe space out near dogpatch area. It was totally free with a focus around the Wix platform (kind of like how Amazon has AWS popup lofts). It went away I think but the idea was pretty cool. Hell I didn't mind the free space.
