>“More data” is not inherently good. Without a framework of information for interpretation of that data, it will do far more harm than good.

There's an episode of Star Trek: Voyager about this[1]. Seven of Nine absorbs months worth of data (way more than a human could actually process) from the ship's computer, and "discovers" that both half of the ship plans on mutinying and that the Captain wasn't actually trying to get them home. Both of which were false.

We do, not 100% of the time, but damn close (usually non-locals and jerks that will push in past those coming off).

As for Japan, I was amazed when taking the trams down in the south where, from what I remember, you got on via the back doors (taking a ticket, which was optional some times depending on the trip), then you would slowly move forward to the front to pay on departure via a coin collector near the driver. Change machines were also on the trams. The ride and transaction was seamless as everyone always had correct change, the collection of money took little to no time (we're talking nobody really stopped, drop money in, keep walking) and because everyone was entering and leaving the assigned doors, everything just worked.
This was a better explanation for me: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=665719
Your response is why my other related comments mention only through legislation this gets fixed. Everyone is complacent because no single entity is held responsible, and people are evading taxes because of it.

Attempting to justify tax evasion with constitutional law is unacceptable.
> There's a political party that has stated opposition to this kind for consolidation

Someone like the Pirate Party? It never made it in US somehow.

And for the reference, previous FCC approved Charter + TWC merger, despite being better in general than the current horror.
The rationale that seems to be put forth now is that there's so much competition between mediums that it's ok to allow monopolies of each one of them.

I think this is absurd of course, but that's the argument that's always made implicitly or explicitly.

It's also scary as hell because ISPs have disproportionate control.

And once they're granted all sorts of freedoms to screw over consumers, it's going to be a lot more difficult to take it away from them.

All Pai has to do is set the ball rolling and it won't stop.

I don't really see a political landscape in the near future where you have anti-monopoly laws being enforced. All the current corporate monopoly whores will have to die of old age first.
Hm. I tend to think more in terms of how using the language makes me feel than in terms of what the language design reminds me of.

I see what you mean, though.
So my buddy and I have had this idea for years, but have consistently hit roadblocks for an adwords-like product with billboards. To my knowledge, outside of Lamar, every major player in the outdoor advertising space doesn't even have the technology in place to allow for a more granular pricing model (i.e. ads by the hour). And when talking with them, they were not keen on allowing such a thing to exist even when we tell them we'd fill their entire inventory. Maybe you've had a different experience? If so, I'd like to chat with you.

As for AdQuick (and Fliphound for that matter), it seems like you're just another middleman. There is no bidding. Am I missing something?
Ajit Pai was appointed to the commission (as a member) by President Obama, and confirmed in 2012.

President Trump placed Ajit Pai as Chairman in 2017.
My point was that you can be big (and successful for some definitions of success) without being profitable.
if we forget about making the service for a moment, How would you store and process high dimensional vectors locally? What ready-made library/software to use? What datastructure?
I tend to fall into I use what-ever gets the job done. Though most of the times I did hear from high Microsoft Programmers they first started with Unix/Linux and super productive in that environment. Though when it came to shipping product and getting customers to buy it all the users where on Microsoft/Apple at the time. Tending to wanting to survive and buy `nice` things they all had to learn Microsoft/Visual Studio to ship product to make monies.

Not wanting to fall into a debate about Microsoft/Linux/Apple I've tended to find that Microsoft with all its problems do have very helpful and useful technical support when you run into a major door stop when shipping a product. What they do for backwards compatibility is amazing and still something I would like in the Linux world.

Here I go again....

One of my pet peves with Linux/Unix world is `Still` after all these years their asynchronous IO is still crap compared to Free BSD. Something that after all these years its still amazing that it still isn't fixed. The whole container/virtual machine is required in the Linux world because `Some` essential tool you need is no longer works with your specific version of Linux. To make matters worse I've seen 2-3 virtual machines in enterprise environments that are just simply there to run old software that it vital for the business.
edit: I copied my previous comment to be in reply to jmcqk6 where it makes more sense -- sorry I actually signed up for an account here just to say it so this is my first post and I wasn't sure how to "mention" someone?
See my other comment (written after your comment). Search this page for "That announcement has more to say about the comparison to Rust, which is probably the most frequently asked question."
Another cost of every language wanting at least one of its own dependency managers, often tightly integrated with the build system. The least-bad solution at this point would be to spin up a clean image, install the package in question, and figure out what else was also installed.
Chicago politics are dominated by Democrats, but it's far more conservative than some of the crazy granola stuff on the West Coast. Rahm Emanuel would be considered a right wing demagogue in San Francisco.

Statically eliminating array bounds violations is definitely something Rust doesn't do.

I've just never understood why tar can't have sane defaults like zip. Why do you need three or four cryptic arguments to do the most basic use case?

Its like find. I try to remember the stupid syntax and just give up and use locate instead.
I read her stuff in my cultural anthropology class years ago. I enjoyed that class a lot.
Most train stations and tracks in Japanese cities are difficult to access if you're an animal, and tracks are all either underground or elevated, so traffic accidents don't come into the picture. Another commenter suggested that they can clear out a suicide in under 10 minutes, something that will take over an hour, at least in the SF bay area.

If you get far out of a city, things seem to be held to less of a strict standard, but trains still run frequently and mostly on time.

I've never witnessed someone with a disability getting on or off a Japanese train, so I can't speak to that.

Those books where widely published from the start from Microsoft and Developers. There was aspects of the API were not released to the general public but it didn't stop a developer from knowing about them.

You also has the MSDN subscription that did cover a lot about the development.
A social network for kids is not really a good solution for that, since it relies on kids voluntarily using the social network.

Cerebral monitoring devices implanted at birth would be a much more effective solution.

One thing very much worth following as a replacement or supplement to modules is Singularity. It is relatively easy to create images that contain all of your required libraries, and you can run these same containers on both your cluster and on your development system.

This can substantially reduce the time to deploy new software and cut down on overhead related to managing multiple modules.

Singularity, unlike Docker, is designed to require only minimal privilege escalation and as such it's an easy sell to HPC admins, who can (at least somewhat) get out of the business of helping users figure out what the heck is weird about their environment when trying to get something running on a cluster for the first time. You can also take these containers with you and be reasonable certain they'll work on another system.

N seeds for the prng algorithm shipped with the program to be verified. Each seed provides for one game. N is sufficiently large to effectively remove "luck" for the skill comparison, and sufficiently large to make finding enough seeds allowing wins for a cheating weaker player more difficult than generating a better go player

Im assuming all games played against the incumbent; seeds are basically proof of wins. I guess you could still cheat though by copying the incumbent, get a 50-50 ratio of games, and then just find enough winners to make it 49-51.

Serves me well at this point. Maybe other devs can chime in. Love the work you guys put on FF and Rust btw, cheers!
This one's directed at Microsoft SQL offerings, including the ones in the Azure cloud. Whereas DataGrip is for most SQL databases. Also this one's free, and DataGrip isn't (almost a shame but it's worth it's salt). DataGrip definitely is more featureful since it's been around a bit longer. Funnily enough the one Microsoft made looks like it derives from Visual Studio Code, much like MSSQL Management Studio derives from regular Visual Studio, and I think that'll mean Microsoft might embed some features from this into Visual Studio Code, but that's me just speculating, and it could take a while before they do.
Actually, there is no reason a consumption tax can't be progressive. Comsumption = income - net_savings. Some years you might even have negative net savings, and the formula still works.

It turns out that reports from all the same reporting entities that report to the IRS now are nearly sufficient to implement such a scheme, most of the data is there, it just might have to be reformated, perhaps some bits and pieces added to the report.

You can exempt consmption below some amount, say a reasonable amount of money to feed, cloth, and house your family, and provide basic transportation. Then you can have a progressive tax rate applied to consumption above that. Rich people are not going to stop buying yachts, fancy cars, linen suits, and avocado toast. The net effect on the economy should be good overall.

Usually when someone says "consumption taxes are regressive": a) they only imagine collecting the tax point-of-sale, and b) they don't imagine a consumption tax with a variable rate. But in reality, a progressive consumption tax is a simple matter of tweaking the current reports sent to the IRS by employers and financial entities for the income tax computation, and then applying different arithemetic.
This rule was repealed for one and one purpose only. Allow Sinclair Media, a pro-Trump media organization, to buy up local TV stations and blast propaganda news during your 9'o'clock news hour.

If my writing makes it less likely that some would-be Facebook competitor can use mass-scale psychological manipulation to get an edge, I can live with that.
Hopefully that changes, it would become a really great cross platform SQL toolset, especially if and when they add in support for other SQL databases. Might be focused for Azure / MSSQL like Azure Storage Explorer is for Azure Blob Storage only (not sure what else it would support really).
Possibly. I'd like Puffs (and its generated C code) to be free of UB (and I've skimmed the blog.regehr.org posts), but I'm not 100% certain if it is.

The Boston Dynamics robot is extending its legs to return to both a fully stable state and its optimal “home” or resting position state.

As to the question of whether the robot is following a ‘predefined “script”’ (implying, I think, that the developers might have “cheated”) if it were easy to make a “predefined script” that let a robot do this kind of thing, it would have been done years ago. Stability of complex dynamical systems is an incredibly hard problem, and without real active stability control there’s no way to get a thousand pound robot to balance like this. There’s no cheating involved, they simply did the hard things and made them look easy.
"The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking different heroes.

As for cost, we selected initial values based upon data from the Open Beta and other adjustments made to milestone rewards before launch. Among other things, we're looking at average per-player credit earn rates on a daily basis, and we'll be making constant adjustments to ensure that players have challenges that are compelling, rewarding, and of course attainable via gameplay.

We appreciate the candid feedback, and the passion the community has put forth around the current topics here on Reddit, our forums and across numerous social media outlets.

Our team will continue to make changes and monitor community feedback and update everyone as soon and as often as we can."

Rahm Emanuel is considered a right wing demagogue by a pretty sizable chunk of Chicagoans.
I've mentioned this to a friend a few times, the biggest differences between the Japanese and Australian public transport systems is that we (Au) take ours for granted. We don't care about our trains and buses until they are not there (strikes), or late (traffic/human delays), and then we complain rather than attempt to fix the problem.

If our everyday work life depended on our transport system, and I mean really depended on it, we'd see a dramatic shift between what we have now and what we would have.
Uberconference.com, although admittedly I've seen Zoom frequently and I'm starting to see Google Meet in my org (ask but ubercobference support video). For audio, it federally depends on where people are calling from (India tends to eliminate a few potions), if it's internal, and the number (100+ changes things)
I agree with you, but if we think that many of our most pressing problems are political/governmental at their core, then doesn't that mean tech is a little impotent? - maybe we ought to be more careful about using "change the world" narratives, and maybe we should be encouraging more of our brightest minds to go into politics and government, if that's where the really interesting problems are.

* I am being a little facetious here, but only because I don't think I don't think tech has nothing left to offer in these, more challenging, problems.
Intel NVM Systems and Micron have been partnered since the early days of both of their starts in NAND. Investment in R&D and fabs are shared between the two companies. Intel is largely pushing 3DXP down the pipe from the CPU groups as a performance advantage. If/when it really takes off, they will need added support/investment from Micron to increase supply, reduce risk, etc.
Hasn't this been around for ages? "Factoring Accounts Receivable". All the cool kids were doing it in the 80's.
Is that necessarily a bad thing? I feel like social media has destroyed an enormous amount of value by making it harder to have authentic relationships.
One idea would be a sort of controlled-access staging area before the train that would admit roughly the capacity of the next arriving train. The doors to the staging area close as the train is arriving or the staging area is full, and the doors to the train don't open until the doors to the staging area area confirmed closed. It doesn't stop people from holding open those doors, but I think having 2 layers would help. That said constructing such a system in existing systems seems really improbable. You would have to build it in from the beginning.
This is a good idea, however I'm disappointed at the accuracy of ARKIT, I doubt if this will be useful.

As soon as I saw people built ruler demos with ARKIT, I tried it myself. but it is very inaccurate. I was amazed how other people could make it so accurate in the demo video.

I just downloaded two of the ruler apps previously demoed with videos in the summer. They are as horrible as the one I made ...

not sure if I need dual camera phones to achieve accuracy. I'm using iphone 7.

PLEASE READ!!!! Hello Guys,This is a Life Time transformation !!!Am so happy I got mine from Kelvin Roland. My blank ATM card can withdraw $3,300 daily. I got it from him last week and now I have $16,500 for free for just a week. The blank ATM CARD withdraws money from any ATM machines and there is no name on it, it is not traceable and now i have money for business and enough money for me and my family to live on. I am really happy i met Kelvin Roland because i met two people before him and they took my money not knowing that they were scams. But am happy now. Kelvin Roland sent the card through DHL and i got it in two days. Get your own card from him now he is not like other scammer pretending to have the ATM card, he is giving it out for free to help people even if it is illegal but it helps a lot and no one ever gets caught. i'm grateful to Kelvin Roland because he changed my story all of a sudden. The card works in all countries except Philippines and Mali. Kelvin Roland email address is kelvinroland.blankatm@outlook.com!
A quick search turns up a number of companies to which you can outsource your AR. Not sure what the payment structure looks like.
Very true! Phobia always seems a more intense emotion than what the people exhibit, but it is technically correct.
> Isn't that how it works, especially with ideologies and models?

No. Ideologies are labels that have meanings, sometimes very specific meanings. And even though there are overlaps between some ideologies and others, conflating terms is still disingenuous and unhelpful.

Marx believed in profit-motive, to be sure. That doesn't make Marx a Capitalist. Calling all "collectivists" Marxists is similarly silly.

> Yes, but...

Your parent was making a comment about the flawed logic in your argument justifying your misuse of the term "Marxism", not your overall opinion on identity politics.

Your response is totally irrelevant to that criticism.

I still wonder why Google sold Boston Dynamics, and no other transportation or defense manufacturer scooped them up. The technology certainly looks amazing. Are the commercialization prospects really that bad?
What are "relevant skills?" It's it a programming language? An environment? A framework?

When I started, I was expected to pick anything up as I was working. I got my first job partially as a result of having seen Smalltalk in a programming language class. The important "relevant skills" were enough background to pick up new things (since everywhere was different) and a demonstrated ability to get work done.
I highly doubt a blog post will have that effect.
The Wall Street Journal is reporting [1] that BuzzFeed is set to fall short of their $350m 2017 sales target by 15% to 20%. So a better number on that might be $280m to $300m.

Founders should treat VCs like the service providers they are and not like bosses. The only “trick” to doing this is having some amount of success before raising money.

Corporations are controlled by boards so it’s not true that VCs control the company unless you sell them that right. You can refuse to ever give up power it just requires fortitude and conviction.

VCs are a temporary solution to the problem of funding technology companies. Replacements are already in play.

Perhaps you should read more about what it means to classify ISP telecommunication providers as title two common carriers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_carrier this is not about the government trying to regulate an industry, it's more about the monopolies within the industry trying to gain control over the content. The implications of allowing ISP's to control what data is sent over your internet connection is like a phone company telling you what you're allowed to speak about on your phone line.
Garbage in, garbage out.
I also would like to know. I use Management studio at work. It would be great to find a good multiplataform that I can use everywhere.
Seriously - the revenue can come and audit me if they think I'm in the wrong, and I'll happily pay the costs of coming into compliance if they can demonstrate why those costs need paying.

Otherwise? Screw it, I'll just do the best I can with either a scattered brain and handful of receipts, or a few hours of a desultory tax attorney's time.

If you want better, make the rules simpler. I don't have the money or time to deal with this byzantine bullshit properly, and the tax collectors not going to convince me that it's worth my time to do proactively with any argument short of a gun.
They are seamless for some time now. You pay with the same card and lines are connected. At least JR and Metro is.
What I don't understand is why you need to have a local presence to be affected at sales tax.

Why on earth should selling goods from Oregon in Seattle not be subject to Washington sales tax, but selling goods from Seattle to Seattle be subject to it? This punishes local businesses, and encourages tax arbitrage.

As far as I see it, if you sell to residents of Washington, you have a presence in Washington.
eke out
Just throwing this out there, buy JR Passes if you are going to be traveling a lot via Shinkansen (especially if you did what we did, Osaka->Kagashima->Kumamoto->Beppu->Nagasaki->Hiroshima->Kyoto->Osaka), it's worth it.
If a media outlet wants to buy stations and supply more conservative friendly news, how is that any different from Jeff Bezos buying the Washington Post and supplying liberal friendly news?

For those who would want to counter that buying many local stations outweighs buying a single outlet in the Washington Post, I would bet WaPo reaches as many or more people as all local stations put together in the US through their massive social media and generally online presence. Not only that, while local stations only air news at a set time each day, WaPo articles are persistent and ubiquitous.

The scale of outreach and influence for a site like WaPo is really tremendous when you think about it.
