That's fair. But it's also worth recognizing those 70K units may mean that some middle-income SF resident had to move to Pleasanton or something instead due to affordability, so our nice hiking proximity is their 90-minute commute.

To a degree. I get the contrast you're drawing and don't really disagree. But an electrician (like plumbers/contractors/etc.), especially working in an older building, has to deal with a lot of unexpected circumstances that have to be dealt with. There's a lot of problem-solving involved.
Tbf, Open source is as complex but it would be VERY hard in most open source OSS to coordinate things that must happen quickly. Email a maintainer or submit a pull request? Might be merged tomorrow. Or next week. When he gets around to it. That model just doesn't work in business.
Monica Lewinsky is nothing.

When the drum beat of war in Iraq was happening, even the NYT wrote editorials supporting the war.

Later, in 2004, NYT had an article ready about how Bush lied to get us into the war. But, surprise! it was not published until after the election.
Just curious -- why did you exclude midtown from your StreetEasy search?

(I happen to live in a $2.5k studio just a couple minutes away from Byrant Park. I picked it because it made my commute to work a 9 minute walk.)
You still don't understand what the term "whataboutism" means. And now you've descended to calling a word names like "buzzword" and "juvenile". You can't hurt a word's feelings by calling it names, but you can learn what it means. So why don't you look up what the word means before confessing it applies to you, then calling it names?
My wife commutes to work 10 minutes by bike. I haven’t been accosted by any homeless junkies, and all of the homeless people I have talked to recently have been either friendly or politely distant (usually they seem pretty starved for human interaction, and are really excited to have a baby wave at them). I go walking around town in the middle of the night (sometimes with my 14-month-old walking beside me) and have never felt unsafe. There are a lot of car window smash-and-grab thefts in the neighborhood, which is kind of unfortunate. And sometimes people steal packages left on doorsteps. Bike thefts are also common. None of those have affected me personally.

Housing prices are definitely a problem, but we are lucky to own a condo, so the main effect on us is a gradually gentrifying neighborhood (which process we are part of), which will probably mean less interesting neighbors in another 10 or 20 years.
Does Facebook actually monitor anything? I was under the impression that it was 100% user-complaint moderated, at least for discovery.
No, it's exactly the opposite.
Enterprise workload with a big queue depth is the realm of SSD.

I've long desired a strongly-typed s-expression syntax that has the power of Haskell or Idris, but still looks and feels like the blank canvas that is Lisp.
Yes. It's certainly going to be shorter, and if you're familiar with modern programming idioms, also more understandable.
Oh neat, I didn't know firms involved yet.
Or we could just pay service-workers more. If you'd like to have a cool bar where the employees can afford to live in the neighborhood, then create one. Charge enough per drink to pay the rent and advertise why. I'm curious if it'd succeed.
Democracy is really meaningless, one vote every 4-5 years and in the interim corporate interests are lobbying daily to get laws passed. It just becomes a fig leaf of legitimacy for crony capitalism and we must recognize we are neck deep in it.
Yeah, the unsprung weight, handling issue and reliability due to vibration and road impacts are problems. The amount of space it actually saves isn't that large. The Tesla motors essentially fit along the axels. Seems to me like a dead end.

Also the hub motors need to spin at the wheel RPM, which might not be in the peak efficiency for motors of that size or dimension, so it becomes a challenging engineering problem to try to match efficiencies with chassis mounted motors, which can be geared to run at their peak efficiency ranges.
Well, Clojure seems popular.
> autonomous driving tech is not to useful if it craps out in inclement weather.

This is the wrong way to think about it. An autonomous transportation service that works only in great weather is already a multibillion dollar opportunity. The revenue from providing services in places like California and Arizona can fund expansion into harder areas.

Nobody said that PCs were useless in the 1980s because many parts of the world didn't have reliable electricity. Nobody said web search was useless in the 1990s because most of the world didn't have Internet access. Likewise, you don't have to solve for driving in monsoon rains or Indian traffic before you can print money with autonomous vehicles.
7 Common Christian Sayings That Is Not Found in the Bible

I'm not very sold on saying that Catalonia is an "ethnic nation" (or comparable to Kosovo like some claim), but I mostly agree.

I wish the referendum would have been legal, and that independence, with a support from the majority of the Catalan population, could happen orderly if need be, with Catalonia staying as a EU member state.

However, with a right-wing government in Spain, this path is not possible. More autonomy: possibly (now I'm not sure anymore), but independence? Not with this government.

A cool-headed approach would have waited longer, paved the way for the return of the left to power, forging the right alliances with the national parties in the left-spectrum in order to get an official referendum in a new Constitutional frame, rather than throw the Catalan and Spanish society into this spiral of non-sense.

The way the Spanish parliament works (with over-represented regional parties) and the raise of Podemos would certainly have provided considerable allies for this sooner or later. Right now, the government is re-inforced, and the Socialists (!) are in the end supporting it, after having been pushed into a corner by the Catalonian goverment actions.

So why not test on the disabled and able-bodied alike? Make no health claims and sell to everyone as “excercise equipment”.

I'd agree that the traditional media has had their hands in shaping the narrative to some extent in past elections and pointing to Facebook is slightly convenient for them.

But there is a vast chasm of difference between using social media to organize people and mobilize a campaign's message (as Obama's campaign sort of did in 2008, a lot of that engagement was organic though) and using the Facebook ad network and a network of phony accounts tied to real people in influencer groups to spread a litany of propaganda and false information meant to foment outrage and cultivate doubt in the integrity of the American election system.
Sounds like it would be a good step to take before taking on snowy roads. The conditions are pretty similar with low traction, no markings, People driving in opposite directions having to figure out a way around eachother when the road narrows... At least you wouldn't have to deal with the actual cold temps and snow and ice. Traction would be more consistent on gravel vs snowy and icy roads too.
So no specific examples, huh?

How many times do I have to ask you for evidence? You're the one who first demanded specific examples, then reneged multiple times when asked to provide the same thing yourself.

You want to have it both ways: in your mind, RT's extremely biased and politically motivated reporting of the Kremlin's official position on Ukraine doesn't disqualify their non-award-winning coverage of Flynt that you can't even produce examples of, but the bias you perceive when Rachel Maddow dares to criticize Trump by reporting his own words and deeds in her coverage of the Russian scandal totally disqualifies all of her award-winning reporting on the Flynt water crisis. Bullshit, comrade.

That's totally dishonest and hypocritical of you. You asked for specific examples, and now that I gave you some you don't want to discuss them, and still refuse to prove any specific examples of your own. I gave you those specific examples that you asked for. So I wish you would provide the same when asked again and again. I'll give you another try, now.

Please give me links to those RT articles about the Flynt water crisis that you claim are unbiased and better than Rachel Maddow's coverage, and give me links to Rachel Maddow's reporting on the Flynt water crisis that show she's biased.

Otherwise admit you don't have any evidence, even though you demand it from other people. Your stonewalling and deflecting and false equivalencies means it's true you have no evidence, and you're ignoring the evidence I gave you, but you don't have the intellectual honesty to admit it.

At least you've admitted that you're guilty of whataboutism, even though you don't understand what the term actually means.

Your own words:

"OK I'm guilty."

"Specific examples please."

I just got off the street recently. I am glad to see you say nice things about the homeless population there. I have not been in the Bay Area in some years. I am repeating some of the things I have read about it.

I am struggling to understand this discussion with you. Do you have some objection to the suggestion that people who are dissatisfied should consider the Central Valley as an alternative? It isn't like it is a gun to your head insisting people who are happy should leave.
Horrible thing to say, but at least I feel a bit better now! Too bad I didn't hear about Bitcoin in 2010. I hadn't heard about it until like 2012.
Heavy fog and rain would most likely be bad for Waymo's camera systems and its LiDAR systems, but Waymo cars also have radar, which would probably keep working pretty well. I'm not sure how well the car would perform if only radar was working well, though.
Using product thinking to do media
I am aware many don’t care that it was illegal, I was suggesting a reason why people might care.
That's a very naive view. While illegal content might "only" get you incarcerated in most of the western world, it will get you straight up killed in a lot of the other countries.

This doesn't stop just because the technology is unable to delete anything.
In part because I mostly don't commute these days and generally have a fairly flexible schedule around most things, I've been able to mostly avoid going out in snow in all but the rarest circumstances. I don't miss it.
1. Assuming someone is looking for only one or a handful of objects, why would they train their own dataset on open image instead of using the inception/object_detection built into TF? Seems like this use case is for systems that are looking to eval/classify a lot of different object classes.

2. Why would someone run this on Algorithmia instead of their own hosted NC/P2/P3 instance?

3. Have you tried open image with any other DNNs like Shang's implementation of FastMaskRCNN?
This response lacks vision.
I think a good question that follows from that is: how unsafe is too unsafe for autonomous vehicles? Can we evaluate roads in some generalized way that will not only prevent autonomous vehicle activity, but inform local governments about when they should institute driving bans?

In an ideal world, I trust autonomous cars over human-operated cars. So if the conditions are too dire for autonomous cars, I really don't want to be out there with humans driving.

I know some artists, and many of them are definitely boring :-) Just because someone decides to be an artist and sticks seashells on a model house doesn't make them interesting. And why would, for example, playing a trumpet well make you intrinsically more interesting than mastering complex mathematics?

I'd rather have lunch with the mathematician. In fact, Feynman is at the top of the list of people I'd like to have lunch with, and it's not about his bongo drum playing.

(P.S. I learned to play the trumpet in my youth.)
The way things stand now, the only required piece of application software that a new personal computer needs in order to be viable is a web browser. But once you have that, and the system of your machine is sufficiently compelling, it would work for a great many people.

This is why I think someone is going to build something like an actual top to bottom Lisp/Smalltalk/Whatever machine sooner than we think.

If Smalltalk machines existed, I would buy one today.
Maybe you were the first person he interviewed.
I agree, but considering a politician only gets paid while in office, it's in their own interest to make sure they sure they stay in office, regardless of the method they use. Hence why corruption in politics is a thing, why dictatorships are a thing, etc...
Another thing that's good to know: vboxfs (the default VirtualBox file-sharing filesystem) doesn't support mmap().

The are quite a few software that use mmap to access files, especially databases. When that happens, either avoid using the shared folder or switch to using the nfs mount.

Here is the ticket about it that's been opened 10 years ago: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/819
Yes. That's how I would do it, if I were 18-20 again. :(
Good answer, but you’ve made me realise I made an even deeper error — I was thinking like Civilization: cities as the fundamental unit, not the productive capacity of the nearby land they control.

Is there a position within your company that you'd like to be in (some other team doing more exciting work, etc)? If so, try to figure out what it'd take to move there. If not, get a new job.

But before doing that, do the following (which you should be doing anyway):

* learn about new things in your / neighbouring fields that interest you - this is a career where you want to be learning all the time, and much of the learning will be on your own time/dime (the upshot is that you don't need to slog thhrough new things - breadth is more important than depth)

* keep an eye on the potential new jobs (interesting new jobs or companies), maybe apply to a few places to see how far you go

* increase your visibility; blog, relevant activity on hn/reddit/stackoverflow/quora/..., source code examples or open source contributions, community involvement (organising / speaking on events), screencasting your coding sessions - whatever sounds more fun to you

Doing these three will help make you more valuable (and more clearly valuable) to the company so that you might have an easier time of convincing your manager(s) to give you more challenges/responsibility, and if that fails, you'll be in much better position when looking for a new job.
It philosophically transitioned away from the "personal friend update feed" to the "hub of all social networking on the internet" a few years ago.

I just kind of realized that happened in the last few months and it wierds me out. What used to be personal stuff between friends and family, they want you to share with everyone.
My point is twofold:

1. Do not treat Facebook differently from traditional media - we seem to agree on this.

2. The use of phone accounts to influence people should be targeted in and of itself - not just because it happened to help win an election.

And on the side:

>using the Facebook ad network and a network of phony accounts tied to real people in influencer groups to spread a litany of propaganda and false information meant to foment outrage and cultivate doubt in the integrity of the American election system

Influencer groups spreading propaganda and false information is common amongst special interest and lobby groups, in both traditional media and social networks. I do not like it, but I do not see Facebook being in any way special about it.

Democracy is supposed to be more involved then showing up every 4-5 years.

For most Western democracies the reason governments have been increasingly aligned with corporate interests is those have been the interests actually doing the hard work of democracy. They gather like minded people together, lobby, and keep sustained pressure on elected officials. They constantly work at a democracy whereas most people seem to think politics is an every 4 year divisive inconvenience that's best not discussed.

In other words, democracy is captured by corporate interests precisely because they lobby daily whereas most people can barely be counted on to show up to vote.

You already have 2 years of experience it should be perfect for you to start applying to other companies.

There are tons of jobs out there, you can be sure that if you are proficient you will clear 6 out of 10 interviews.

Also if you are bored n have lot of time and energy left after work you can learn a few new technologies like Cloud, AI etc,. in this time and accumulate tons of skills and then make a big switch with big package and company of your dreams and stuff. In this case you may decide to spend 3 to 6 months more in same company irrespective of how it goes.

But while you switch you also have to pay attention to make sure same issues doesn't crop up in the new place.

You can ask enough question during interview to filter the right job.

You can make a list of priority items and if the current job doesn't match more than 50% of them simply switch.

Don't be too confused, Try to get a better opportunity and if you can just go for it. You cannot switch companies every few months but making a first switch at 2 years is definitely not bad.
About half of health care spending in this country is done by the government. That's heavily involved by any metric. Secondly, the amount of regulation of it is very, very heavy.

The price rises are due to this. See
