Or maybe there's nothing flukey about it.

Trump talked about things people cared about in a straightforward, albeit bombastic, way. You may disagree with his approach, but others appreciated he was at least talking about things they cared about. Sure Hillary talked about those issues too, but she wasn't able to set a clear vision or ground her campaign in clearly defined and solid themes.

We can only learn from failure by accepting it and studying it, not by dismissing it as a fluke.

Tesla does not leave any headroom. If they did, then the car would appear to be able to charge to its original value for a while -- but it doesn't:

https://electrek.co/2016/11/01/tesla-battery-degradation/

What Tesla does do is pretend that the bottom 20% of the battery doesn't exist. That's because it's very damaging to use it at low charge.
I made a wheel like this in a popular free to play game.

Each section was equal in size but not in weight. We wanted to give the feeling that they could win big but not give so much currency that people would not spend on the currency.

It worked so we kept the wheel weighted.

Anon because making free to play games is admittedly kinda evil.

I'd love to see the grand parents' suggested made active. Hunting whales isn't about making fun games. It's about exploiting addictive behavior with a tiny set of people.

It's not fun to make and it's not fun to play.

I wasn't quite aware of this myself until a few years ago. Now I see it in almost every crime/spy/military-related show or movie. I've stopped watching several shows because of it and never started watching others.
thx.. I havent seen this when I go into other big box stores. Seems to me like they want to force you to use their WiFi so that they can track if I am price matching or just window shopping at target!!. But it comes at a cost of safety which is what I am worried about!
Deep learning wasn't novel in 2012 either - it was the removal of a hardware limitation that made it compelling again. I think the same is true for evolving DNNs, but I don't know if the available compute power is there yet.

> My feeling is that since shallow networks can be made to have equivalent accuracy to deep networks, that the real challenge isn't topology but training.

This is not really true though... even very shallow neural networks can be universal function approximators in a trivial sense because they can be lookup tables, but they are really not expressive enough to generalize well and lack a lot of the expressivity of deep networks.
It's basically drug dealing, where the drug is a dopamine hit.

It's OK in this case, because the "free market" supports it.

Nevermind teams of psychologists helped those users develop their "support". They're freely buying in!
I don't know much about the older versions (last time I have played with iOS was iOS 7 I think), but I have recently got an iPhone 5S for development with iOS 11.2 and it's definitely one of the most glitchy mobile OSes I have ever used - and I've used plenty of community managed AOSP "ROMs", Replicant with missing drivers and some Openmoko distributions. I didn't expect much, but I honestly didn't expect it to be so bad. And I'm not even using it as a phone.
Did you have it replaced at an Apple Store or by a third party? I'm deciding between the two – my gut is to go with the Apple Store, but the apple website makes it sound like it could take up to 5 days, which is too long.

I will concede that you make some good points, however:

These statistics simplify things a little because they rely on measures of central tendency - mostly the mean, from what I can tell. Purchasing power is the best example of that. Yes, salaries in the U.S. are on average higher than in Europe, even Germany. However, as we all know, the mean is heavily influenced by extreme values, which occur far more often in the US due to greater inequality. So yes, you can buy more with the average salary, but there are less people who have an average salary.

As for the housing stuff: Yes, 'double' was probably an exaggeration (it just happened to be true in my case - although I'm not living anywhere near a major city). However, depending on the size of the apartment, the stats you posted show that the difference can be up to 35%, and as I said, the SIZE of the apartment doesn't necessarily correlate with quality. Apartments and houses can more easily be bigger in the US because there is more space.

You are correct that some things are more expensive in Europe. Buying houses, definitely (although it also depends on the country, Germany is a particularly extreme example in that regard (so is the US, though)). However, it doesn't always work out that way. For example, the metrics you posted show that power is 40% more expensive in Germany. That does reflect my own experience. HOWEVER, appliances etc. here in the US are often so crappy (i.e. power hungry), that in the end, you somehow end up paying more anyway.

On paper, the US compares pretty well against Europe in terms of standards of living, but my experience is that in practice, this is only true for people from the upper middle class onward.
Right... but the point was I get something, in return for having to pay middle-men to service it. It's a trade I'm happy with. Maybe you aren't, but it works for me.
I think there are a few answers to this.

1) There are a lot of worthy projects to contribute to. Should you work on Firefox? Linux? LibreOffice? OpenSSL? I think it's as reasonable to ask "where should I volunteer?" as it is to ask, "to which charity should I donate money?"

2) Fame/clout. There are a number of Internet-famous developers who work in open source. When they blog, people listen to what they have to say. When they file a bug on an open-source project, people fix it. When they start a project, people download it, try it, and contribute patches.

This is totally unlike the experience for ordinary developers. When most people blog, nobody reads it. When most people file a bug, or even file a PR, it just gets ignored. When most people start a project on github, nobody notices it.

Clearly there is a path, however narrow, from here to there. How, people ask, can I walk that path?

3) When people really are talking about an "open source career," they often are asking, "how can I get paid to work on open source?" That does require selecting good projects that have the potential to pay off.

4) In some cases, people are asking, "what are high-impact open-source projects where it's easy for newbies to get started?" Even once you've chosen a project, not all projects make it easy to submit your first patch.
> Well, if the underlying truth is: "the US has a crazily invasive legal system and is too litigicious", then I think the (untrue) story conveys that well.

Except you haven't established that underlying truth to begin with, hence why false stories are just hurting your case. In fact, I'd even say that truth is probably false.

> He's more powerful where he is now than he could ever be in an elected position.

Exactly, an elected position would come with even more publicity, actual responsibilities and the possibility of being held accountable for his actions.

It's far more convenient and efficient for him to stay out of that system and just play it from the outside.
Upgrading the battery doesn't restore speed, though.

To be clear, your "old" programmers should be among your most valuable employees as they should know what pitfalls to avoid, what the warning signs are and should know a great deal of design patterns or tricks to help improve your project.

Motivating older programmers is different from motivating younger programmers. They've seen layoffs, acquisitions, failing companies. They've also seen multiple project management philosophies come and go and generally aren't impressed with agile and scrum. Most older programmers I've worked with want some combination of the following: money, being able to do good quality work and good work-life balance. They're unlikely to pull all-nighters or work more than 40 hours because at this point they've seen how destructive and ineffective those are. To motivate them you can offer flexible hours, remote working privileges, vacation time. You can also check with them to see if they want to explore different roles (would they want to do some project management? UX design? devops/system administration? Also you are doing regular 1:1s, right?)

Now you may encounter some problems with these older programmers learning new technologies (I had a former COBOL programmer give up on web services even though he was using Microsoft COM apis on a regular basis). In these cases, there are two good solutions. 1) Spend extra time with the programmer, mapping the terminology they're learning with the terminology they're familiar with. 2) Have them work on different projects that are more closely aligned with their current skills.
I think its more of a gorilla marketing tactic for the new Tom Delonge fringe science company that he is trying to get investors for.

He also has a line up of books,movies, films , and documentaries to sell.This smells like a marketing tactic with convenient timing to get some hype and buzz going with the fringe sciences.
Replacing the battery does in fact "restore speed".

Nope. Unproven means its either true or false. There's just no record to decide which it is.

You do? Okay, I don't. Please, show me exactly how Google uses data they collect from their users. Every usage. Not just a few. And no "but they say they can use it for whatever they want!" - then we can talk about transparency.
I can't seem to find the video, but I remember Sid Meier talking about how he had to manipulate the battle odds to what people thought was fair combat. For example, they thought that if they had a 2/3 chance of winning, they should win practically every time and thought it was unfair when they lost. Even though they won 2 out of every 3 matches, on average.

The average person doesn't understand expected outcome, that it means ON AVERAGE it will take this many times to obtain the thing. Lottery tickets are a bad example because the expected outcome is still really high, though most people still understand this.
If your only beef is that its illegal, what an easy problem to solve!
How did you come to this conclusion? My 6S was running in this “low speed mode” (as confirmed by Geekbench 4 results) even when the battery was at 100%, phone plugged in, placed at my desk at room temperature all afternoon. Only relevant variable seemed to be the battery age, and the results improved (along with subjective perceived performance increase) only when I recently had it replaced.
Ironically its attempts to diversifying funding sources always seems to piss off the community. For example the paid slots on the new tab page that were only shown in fresh installs.
The EV on Canadian lottery odds sometimes exceeds 1. They're required to pay out 50% of intake, but if the jackpot isn't won a bunch of times in a row (with payout under 10%), the payout for a single draw sometimes exceeds the intake for that draw.

It's not profitable to buy all the tickets, though: that changes the odds enough that it becomes unprofitable.
> U2F isn't a Google product.

The point is that U2F on Google logins only works in Chrome. Firefox supports U2F, but Google's implementation only works with Chrome.

>Is it common in Europe that you can't turn on red?

Yes it's almost always the case.

Our intersections are designed a bit different from yours. In ours the stoplights are placed a bit before the intersection, compared to your lights in the intersection, or right after it. This doesn't invite to right-on-red as you do not have that clear of an overview of the incoming traffic from left.
> You're moving the goalposts now. You claimed that if proprietary software can be misused, it will be, and therefore therefore Stallman is right about all proprietary software being malicious - yet it's precisely those types of misuse you now want to deem irrelevant which underpin the entire moral argument behind the free software ethos.

No, you just didn't understand the goalposts in the proper context. "Harm" and "misuse" in FOSS have never been about any type of harm in which software may take part, simply the types of harm that can be achieved by software and licensing.

In FOSS, harm means restricting a user's freedom and ability to control their information, privacy and the devices they own.

Eh, I don't think your comment is fair to the OP.
These past episodes show that Mozilla can be tempted by money to go against their core values of user choice and privacy. Only in small ways so far, but trust is easy to lose.

If you don't like Google, you can always use Chromium or Brave. I trust them not to run marketing campaigns inside my browser.
Nice bookshelf page! It would be nice if you could somehow box in red, say, the best book for each year...
Sure it is - it markets my information to advertisers via its own platform. It is my neighborhood drug dealer, and drug are pretty good - nicely packaged and no one fucks with me when i use its drug delivery service.

Mozilla is pretending to be a health store. But we are starting to see that they are also peddling drugs. Not Google drugs - drugs with security and drugs with delivery system and drugs that we are pretty sure how they work - but some other drugs, from shady producers using shady means.
Fair enough. But it's something like 5 lines of code to write that manually, and writing it explicitly is clearer. With implicit function-scoped defer, someone might refactor the code to inline the body of the function into its caller and break it.

True. Also, the problem with air gaps is that people come to depend on them. According to documents about stuxnet and the Snowden leaks, the CIA has said that air gaps have never stopped them, so why should we think that it's any different?

Also, many places people think are air gapped aren't any more. Think smart lightbulbs and bluetooth worms. A hacked android device that gets too close to the perimeter can infect the lightbulb which infects the next one on and down the chain. If someone networks the control computer for the lights to the same network with the classified files it's lights out.

I think of the internet less of a binary thing these days and more of a spectrum. Things can be "pretty dark" like in the basement of NORAD or "white hot" like the twitter feed of Donald Trump. But twitter still goes down sometimes and data can be exfiltrated in so many ways. What's the baud on opening and closing vents and reading it from space satellites?
Having done both, I can tell you that replacing the battery on an iPhone is already easier than an oil change on a typical car. The iPhone parts are expensive, but it's a relatively simple operation for a trained person.

So the rule is never to reply to a throwaway account. But what a load of entitled crap is this?!!

There is a way to do it, you just don't want to figure it out. You want to FORCE them to figure it out for you. BooHoo.

Again, this is a commercial product, that they open sourced. Their commitment was to release the source. They then additionally went thru the step of providing free services ( free binaries, open support system, etc ). This has not worked out for them, they also need to run as a business. They are still giving you ALL of the source.

RedHat went thru a similar period, and in all honesty, was the only thing that saved them as a company.

If a Centos projects comes out of this, awesome. if XCP ( Xen Cloud Platform ) comes back as a volunteer project, awesome too!

"Opensource" is about many things. But to me, and many others, one of the early core tenements has been that the users of a product help out in some way. It doesn't mean you get to whine your way into others doing free work for you.
Replaceable batteries increase lifespan.

The iPhone is a well-made phone which would have greater lifespan if the batteries were replaceable.

As it is, users who bought an older iPhone now have to pay middle-men to replace the battery or face degraded performance.
Refurbished by the mobile phone company? That doesn't occur.

The used market for iPhones on Craigslist is actual users. The market is very strong, and so is the resale value of iPhones. There is one (1) explanation for this: iPhones hold their value better because they are more useful for a longer time.

As an aside, iPhones also remain able to run the latest version of iOS for roughly TWICE as long as Android phones.

There is no competition, here.
Ah, that makes much more sense, thank you.

> there's the intuitive fact that remedying discrimination is by definition going to cause the previously elevated party to lose that

I think it's more than an intuitive fact. There's at least one study I can think of - "Gender Quotas and the Crisis of the Mediocre Man"[1]. And it seems to support the idea that there's a loss, at least in the short term, for the previously elevated party.

I still don't think it's a zero-sum game in the long term. But that is at the core of the problem - people feel threatened now, they don't always care that in the long run, things might turn out well.

Which prompted me to write my reply in the first place - anything that reinforces the notion of a zero-sum game is incredibly toxic to resolving this issue. And even if we'd all be at our most level-headed selves, it's a rather hard issue to solve.

(It's worth noting that we're off on quite a tangent. None of the above really relates to sexual harassment that much. That is an abuse of power. While I'm an avowed feminist, I'm not convinced that simply having more equality in the work force will solve the issue of harassment. That likely requires a huge cultural shift to our basic mode of thinking)

> After the acquisition, use of Mach wasn't expanded

I believe modern XPC services integrated with launchd to allow on-demand job launching (similar to Linux dbus-activation?) are based on Mach 'ports' (IPC).

And tangentially, launchd "domains" (gui/user/system) are based on Mach "bootstrap domains", which is why a job launched in the background ("user") may have trouble communicating with a job launched in the GUI domain, if you're just assuming Unix permissions.

The big pieces that have helped me understand and grow with tf:

I began learning a lot about the workflow through cookbooks with dialogue on why specific practices are used. My favorites started small with something like a linear regression model and hit all the major notes up to neural nets. If you go this route, I would pick something published recently so you are starting with the current version and can learn the new features as they are released.

From there I could begin to understand online tutorials on implementing this or that model. This gave me a lot of context on how I could begin testing different ideas and tuning my hyper parameters in my own models.

Someone who is a true pro can take if from here.
Just a reminder that this result doesn't imply that practicing delaying gratification will improve your success. It may well be that a third factor causes both ability to delay gratification, and success.

It's remarkable that there is data about the outcomes of billions of lives, but we still have only vague indications about which behaviors lead to which outcomes.

I'm based in London, so dropped it off with https://www.ismash.com/ in St Pancras. Was done in half an hour and cost £40. Can't vouch for the quality of the battery yet, but they are a pretty big chain now so I'm assuming it won't be awful.

However I've had batteries replaced (different phones) at the Apple Store before and it took about an hour.
