There's a lot wrong with this analogy. Right off the bat, a gun is not typically involved with legitimate banking. Fundamentally, when you rob a bank, you're coercing someone into giving you something that doesn't belong to you. When you block ads, you're taking something that was offered freely, then choosing which parts of it you want.
I have heard people say "AR has the huge potential" thing many times, yet VR seems to actually have converted from potential into something interesting -- such as gaming, viewing movies, virtual presence, etc.. while AR by definition is saying that the majority of your experience is reality and that AR is simply some overlay of information into your world and provide less content and be less immersive, but always with you.. that thing already exists and is called a smartphone.. so its unclear how AR breaks away from "just becoming an app on your phone" problem..
Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty unhappy with the state of Apple's software quality these days. But, what would possibly get discussed here in the comments for such a story, other than people griping about how their iPhone is broken and everything has been going downhill since Steve Jobs died?
How to Deploy ML Models with AWS SageMaker Using Terraform
Terraform support for AWS SageMaker is not official yet but under review. However, here is already an example showing how to use it and deploy an example model provided by AWS.
Sounds like there are too many options.
The company I work for is working on a VR productivity app that is focused entirely on using your existing desktop apps in a VR space at speeds similar to what you can do with a keyboard and mouse. We have essentially taken the tech for the orbiTouch[0] and mapped it to the controllers that come with the current headsets.

We are always looking for more alpha testers. Should you have a VR setup feel free to contact me at davidn@blueorb.com to try it.

X-posting here from the article's comments:

The price reflects the confidence investors have in the security's ability to meet or exceed inflation and in the information security of the network.

Volatility adds value for algo traders: say the prices are [1, 101, 51, 101, 51, 201]:

(101-1)+(101-51)+(201-51)=300

(201-1)=200

For the average Joe looking at the vested options they're hodling, though, volatility is unfriendly.

When e.g. algo-traders are willing to buy in when the price starts to fall, they're making liquidity; which some exchanges charge less for.

Uber don't own the equipment but they do:

1. Decide who gets to use it, not you (sole and absolute discretion to accept or decline rides). You may be banned if you don't let someone use your equipment they want you to.

2. Interview and recruit you, the person who owns the gym equipment.

3. Excludes you from knowing who you're entering into a contract with.

4. You must work in exactly the way they say (they set the route, the equipment you're allowed to have,

5. You're not free to negotiate the price higher, they set it.

6. They discipline you.

7. They're in control of refunding "your" customer.

8. Used to guarantee you earnings.

9. They accept the risk of loss, not you.

10. Complaints don't go to you, they go to them.

11. They reserve the right to change any of the above unilaterally.

So basically, they're your boss but you need to bring your own equipment. It'd be like saying my work aren't really my boss if I use my own laptop.

Points taken from the case they lost trying to describe their workers as "self employed", saying Uber worked for the drivers.

Why do you think your productivity is going to spike? There seems to be enough info being pumped into people's heads as it is, without them actually doing anything useful with it. Sure there is a great appearance of productivity but talk to an economist for the real story.
Building a paid product, you want engagement to be high so that our users get value out of it and keep paying for it. With advertising, you want engagement to be high so that users see more ads. The difference is subtle but means that you design a product differently.
Affiliate links via standard anchor tags. Self hosted images if an image is needed. The targeting thing is such a waste of effort, everyone needs light bulbs, batteries, etc. Put a link up that says "If you need AAA batteries and you'd like to support our site click here". Batteries alone would probably work on me once a month "Thanks for the reminder, I will click that link with a smile."

I imagine you could still update with some wench-work. An EOL date of 6.5 sounds to me like a way to say that "beyond this point we will stop testing and ensuring compliance, and to avoid fucking over your relic (in PC terms), with an update that is untested on your specific hardware, we simply disable the automatic updates. Good luck."

I don't need a virtual 4K monitor. I can turn my head to see more, just like I do in real life. How close do you have to be to see the pixels in a 4K monitor, and at that point, can you see the entire monitor without looking around?

I want the portability, and then the resolution just has to be good enough. If we could get a virtual 1080p display that would be amazing and good enough. But to your point, the VR display would probably have to be 4K just to be able to properly represent a 1080p virtual display.
Facebook is a highly addictive attention machine. It is designed that way to serve you ads. Even if you block the ads, you can still get hooked on the machine.

Maybe you think that is the same thing as enjoying yourself as you wish. But the OP argues that just because something exploits our psychological biases, does not mean it is good for us in any deeper or longer-term sense.

e.g. plenty of evidence that Facebook is actively harmful for it's users.
The example of automatically removing logos from video seems like a great computer vision project.
You obviously have no clue, nor respect, of what efforts go into substantive websites that create original content. Just because you found a technical way to avoid advertising doesn't mean that you morally deserve to receive free content. All you're doing is killing the Internet so that all you'll end up with is Facebook where you can't get rid of the ads and small, irrelevant websites that resemble what existed in the 1990's. Enjoy.

I disagree. It's not deflection to look at your alternatives and comment on the fact that none are suitable.
I don't find this argument persuasive. If the currency is liquid, you can simply spend the new currency rather than the old, while using the old currency you would have otherwise spent to acquire the new currency. The spending will have negligible impact on your investment outcomes, and you'll be supporting the currency that you're investing in.

I think your parent post referred to using a parser to parse regexes, not using regexes to parse another language.
Not everybody is as computer savvy as you are - my parents don't notice tabs nor do they care about them.

So after a while their Thunderbird has hundreds of tabs open, without them noticing.

For them, it would be an improvement if tabs could be turned off (basically simplifying the UI).

If you run a website and your database gets pwned by hackers, do you just give up and say oh well, I guess the pwned version is the real version now? No, you restore from a backup, and if that involves recreating some of your integrations with third-party providers then so be it.
I remember, and I don't recall anyone seriously doubting whether or not CV1 would happen. Plus, as you say they had publicly available prototypes. The original Kickstarter had real videos of prototypes and John Carmack saying it was great. Totally different situation.

Yes, just insert control rods and wait for things to cool down.

I assume the design is something to the tune of "put a reactor at the bottom of a water filled pit, put a big heat exchanger at the top, pump fluid through the heat exchanger and into the city's heating system and let convection do the rest"

I'm sure with some creative engineering you could do some tricks with attaching something of a specific density that changes with temperature at a rate different than the cooling medium to your control rods you could have a system that self regulates based on the temperature of the water being input (control rods sink when temperature increases) so the system self regulates output.

Facebook is introducing new tools to help curb harassment
[Disclaimer: Uber employee]

Unfortunately for your argument, if there is one thing to deduce from Uber's year of hell, it's that Uber's not going anywhere. I could list around 50 groundbreaking events this year, each of which in itself could have taken a relatively young company like Uber down. Instead, Uber GREW 17% in ONE quarter let alone slow down - http://www.businessinsider.com/ubers-losses-grow-in-q3-but-b...

You could attribute this growth to artificially reduced prices but that's incorrect. The price reduction comes from competition with other ride-sharing (Ola, Lyft, Grab etc) over an ever-increasing pie, not against existing taxi options. This is evident from mature markets like New York where prices are stable and yet growth is strong.

Hence, outside the realms of people wanting to protect existing taxi options + users turned off from Uber's scandals, Uber isn't too big to fail due to government or VC protections but it's simply too valuable to far too many users for it to fail. These users include:

1. For drivers that fall in the full-time category, it's significantly better than old taxi options that forced expensive medallions, fees for the privilege of working that causes them to not even break-even on days, and ultra-long shifts. It's sad to see my fellow HN'ers yearning for such a regressive and exploitative cartel-driven taxi system. For more context, read https://priceonomics.com/post/47636506327/the-tyranny-of-the... before romanticizing an old system out of spite for a large tech company.

2. For part-time drivers, it provides opportunities that simply did not exist before. Earning $x dollars an hour during idle time is such a powerful force that it can alleviate macro-level recessionary pains. See https://www.timeslive.co.za/sunday-times/business/2017-12-03....

3. For users, it's essentially a daily-used verb at this point.

It's unfortunate and sad that this value add is overshadowed by a never ending list of scandals but Uber is planning on owning up and creating positive change going forward. I wouldn't be there if it were not the case. Best I can do for now is help HN understand the value Uber provides and the company changes will slowly and surely fall into place.

In addition to relocating to where energy is the least expensive, Bitcoin creates incentive for miners to lower the local cost of energy: invest in renewable energy.

> Cab drivers with shitty attitudes

Not always rosey with Uber drivers. My first was in San Diego a few years ago: driver had been in town 2 days, asked us for directions, and spent the entire drive asking me about sexual activities he could find on Craigslist that was illegal in his country. Presumably it could have been a fraudulent situation and he was driving for someone else, which would likely get that person removed from Uber, but still, not a great intro to the service.
I don't see how we can use our skill as programmers to solve this problem: at least not legally. Hacking the other side and publishing their shameful secrets might work, gathering and finding information on their sponsors doesn't.
No its not, UK leave reduce EU negociating power, and isn't good overall. On the other hand, EU does not lose a lot of specialized workers with UK leave, so it will have little impact on industries (maybe in biotech and in finance). A German leave, on the other hand, would destroy EU economy.

Your argument is, essentially, and correct me if I'm wrong here, that economic globalization makes the last 1000 years of foreign policy and geopolitical theory completely moot. While I can agree that globalization is a part of what we're seeing, I do not believe that it is the full story or the primary driver. The world has been globalizing for 200 years now.
"When I shoot you, you might be dead. It's not even a problem, it's just the fact of the matter"

Calling that line of reasoning tenuous would give it too much credit. I'm not surprised to hear it - it's a fairly common approach in the tech world. We only stop to think if we can do it, not if we should do it.

Which has landed us where we are, in an arms race around ads, where everybody mostly only cares about their personal interests and technological feasibility. It's time we started talking about ethics. And if you open up that dialog, what you're doing is deeply problematic - you deliberately violate an unspoken assumption, that content creators deserve some kind of remuneration for their work.

It is, in the limit, giving up on the social compact in favor of pure individualism. It's never worked out in human history, and it won't work out this time, either. We can either all return to the table and try to find solutions that respect everybody, or we can devolve into individual greed followed by social chaos.

It's just the fact of the matter.

you're not doing the math... this is not meant as a slight but:

how big is your virtual 1080p screen representing? and at what distance. give me those numbers and I can tell you what display tech it needs to be, but it's going to be on the order of 10-20x density. it's all about pixel radians.

Also, 1080 is quite small for reading, macs have retina displays which is nearing print when running anti-aliasing.

And don't think I'm attacking you, I want this too. It's just that I did the math.
You violated my number one rule of business: never, ever, give a contractor your money unless and until they have earned it. I learned this the hard way as well. I own several rental properties, and I don't let the property managers collect the rent; I collect it myself (using ViewPost email invoicing).

You don't explain, but I don't understand why you couldn't open a bank account. Citizenship is not required. There are online agencies as well, such as Paypal. Was the problem on Kickstarter's side? It seems to me they would have provisions for international clients.

I wish you luck, and am glad you are able to warn people. Out of state lawsuits against out of business corporations (I assume they are out of business, or are about to be) are difficult to collect, but hiring a lawyer is a necessary first step.

I agree, not everyone has the luxury of choosing a job they believe in, and back before Uber became uncool I can see how people would sign up. That said, we're talking about a few thousand people compared to over a million drivers, and most of them are probably quite employable.
I'm sure the Chinese government doesn't care about human lives that much, but it's irrelevant when talking about nuclear power. The total radiation-related death by Fukushima disaster is estimated to be ~130[1]. For comparison, "A 2013 study by MIT indicates that 53,000 early deaths occur per year in the United States alone because of vehicle emissions."[2]

Most likely, using these reactors and having a nuclear accident will still kill less people than using fossil fuels to heat the same homes and not having any accident.

When possible, DDs do submit patches upstream, but this isn't always possible or appropriate.

Examples of unlikely to be upstreamed patches:
Sometimes upstream software was explicitly developed as a tool for another distro, so Debian patches it such that it is usable/applicable to Debian.

Sometimes upstream software will vendor libraries otherwise shipped with Debian. Debian will often remove the vendored version and patch to link against the system package.

Sometimes upstream software has tests that fail within Debian's build system, so Debian will patch the software to build/test under their build system.

Sometimes Debian disagrees with the default preferences set by upstream software, and will patch in new default preferences.

In a surprising number of these cases, upstream developers can become super hostile. And it's kinda-sorta understandable.

When Firefox or RStudio breaks, users don't think to file a bug with their distro, or reach out to the distro maintainers for support (they should!). Instead they reach out directly to the upstream developers, forcing the upstream dev to field all sorts of support requests, and grow to hate the downstream distro maintainers.

The depressing thing is, we really really really need both of these roles -- upstream developers, and downstream maintainers. A separation of concerns between "does the latest version of this code work correctly" and "is this code reliably built/installed/configured in a target environment". Unfortunately we seem to be moving away from it by allowing upstream to shodily craft and ship an entire rootfs in the form of a "container", and declaring it deployment ready.
You can currently do that with Patreon. They support money per month or money per thing. David Firth does money per thing (video, music album, etc.) and you could easily do that with releases (although I'm not sure if you could do separate donation amounts per minor or major release).
Advertisers and their morality.. It's not less moral for me to get you're content for free as it is for you to create content to get my attention, and potentially my money. Just as you have right to do everything in your power to make money on your content, I have a right to do with that content whatever I want, and that includes stripping it from any and all ads.. If you don't like it you can hide it behind a paywall, DRM it, or get out of business.

Photos is still very much an AppKit app.

UXKit is just a simple compatibility shim on top of AppKit. There are many like it, and there's nothing particularly interesting about UXKit except that it is used by the team that developed the Photos app.

If Apple intends to fully support universal Mac/iOS apps then they're going to need a whole lot more than an AppKit compatibility shim. Those apps will be UIKit top to bottom, which means a lot of new features will need to be added to UIKit (resizable windows, menu bar and menu commands, mouse handling, etc.)
