Baloney. I've been driving my Nissan Leaf for almost 4 years. Nissan has sold 300k Leafs. The Chevy Bolt is doing great. The Tesla Model 3 has a multi-year long waitlist.

BMW and some other manufacturers are being slow to adopt EVs because they aren't as profitable right now. So they'd rather keep milking the ICE cash cow as long as they can.

They also know that if they seriously offered competitive EV alternatives, people would buy them.

Why offer an EV version of a 3-Series with a smaller profit margin than an ICE model with a bigger one until they absolutely have to?

That's what it comes down to. The good news is they don't have a lot of time left to keep this b.s. up, but don't believe their lies about EVs. They are here, you can buy them, they are great.
EDIT: never mind, as later details indicate, the dealer mechanics should not be allowed anywhere near a car because they bent the electrode, then said the car needed a new head because it wasn't firing on that cylinder. You know that dev at your work for whom getting it simply compile is a major victory? Yeah, BMW dealers apparently have the mechanic version of that.

--
I had the same thought. I haven't changed the gap on a spark plug in decades. Oh, I check them before they go in, but they're always spot on.

My only theory is that the dealer failed to torque the plug, and engine compression blew the plug out of the head, taking the threads with it. Because at the very worst, if the plug gap is way too big, the electrode might touch the top of the piston. Even then, the piston would just mash it down. I cannot think of a way to ruin a head by improperly gapping a spark plug.

But I digress way away from parent's original point...
I feel neither of those statements is accurate. While Linux users may have had to put up with non-native stuff, that doesn't mean they like it. And using OpenGL to draw your UI has just made your task several orders of magnitude harder.
Yeah, I get that. But I think there's a subtle line between calling out his incredibly unsound and strange beliefs and meaning it as a personal attack.
Puebla had a large influx of Lebanese, so recipes there are influenced by those who settled there, like skirt steak on a rotisserie was inspired by schwarma.

Presumably GNOME is funding work to make Rust work better with GTK.
as a TA, i love when professors set up grading scripts for me, and as a student, i love knowing what grade i will get before turning in the assignment. unfortunately, you need the students to have the basic level of competency where they can actually write code to a testable interface or correctly use print statements to produce good enough output for a script to grade by parsing. in the course i currently TA, neither of these prerequisites are met. many students turn in programs that will not compile and i am expected to give generous partial credit if i can determine that they are "most of the way there".

i also have pedagogical concerns about providing the test script ahead of time. i suspect that it biases low effort students even more in the direction of "guess and check" rather than the ideal (imo) "reason and predict".

all that said, the approach you outlined is probably the best feasible approach for most cs courses.
Spare me your rocketry mumbo jumbo!
That's how a bunch of courses I attended and TAed did it. You needed to beat a specific rating averaged over your homework assignments to be allowed to take the exams. Occasionally caused really good students to fluke the last 1 or 2 assignments since they were sure to have qualified, but generally kept everyone doing them and allowed for failing occasionally (which is useful because students then are less motivated to try and hide their failure, which gives the TAs better feedback about progress and problems)
> (...) unless you have a squadron of TA's to help you carry it out, and that's not gonna happen.

Interestingly enough, here's how this worked when I was an undergrad TA:

* The college's central office paid TAs for obligatory undergrad courses (so basically CS101 etc. up until sophomore year)
* Advanced courses were funded by the individual chairs and institutes. And would you look at that, suddenly there was a whole less of code submissions auto-checked for plagiarism, and a whole more "talking to the TA to explain your reasoning and problems you encountered". This also served the double purpose that these TAs got to know the students, their likes and dislikes, and led to some easy recruiting for PhD candidates and such.
I am wondering if, after 2020, western countries would not need as many cars that they used to have. It feels like new generations do not own as many cars as their parents. If self-driving are indeed coming soon, dropping the cost of transportation, then we might need less cars than we currently use (or not use as they are parked 95% of time, http://fortune.com/2016/03/13/cars-parked-95-percent-of-time...).
So maybe a production of few million electric cars a year might be sufficient in 2020 ? It is 2 years from now, and with Tesla pushing, and giving the pace, the landscape could be very different from today. BMW might need to reassess their prediction then.
And when they don't fix that bad habit early either in their business or their implementing new tech, they become larger companies with the same problems.
Can you list a few of these brokers?
> The next president then reversed this.

Just out of curiosity: This is very uncommon in modern democracies, isn't it?

In most European countries (and maybe also in the US?) each newly elected government shows enough respect for the previous government by not reversing laws established just 1-3 years ago. They usually either concentrate on different topics, or restrict themselves to refinements and corrections of existing laws.

And there's some good reason for that: You don't want a country's set of laws switching between two versions every 4-5 years without making any progress.

However, since that taboo has been broken by now, maybe the next US president would have the courage to do the same with everything the current president did?
Instead, it got flagged off the front page in a heartbeat.
They hit the person with the right side of their car, so even a small move left could have avoided this accident. Given that it was a divided highway with an empty lane to their left, moving half a lane over would have been a reasonable response.

Of course, the Uber vehicle did not take any action at all. It doesn't seem to have ever realized that there was a solid object in front of it. Without that, collision avoidance is impossible.
I wrote my initial comment too quickly. I specifically think that moving people to use signal instead of WhatsApp is a relatively straightforward drop in. I totally agree that signal is not a replacement for Facebook.
When your resolution is low enough to not see this they stop calling it LIDAR and start calling it a rangefinder. If this was actually a fundamental limitation of the sensor then that's the crappiest LIDAR unit I've ever heard of. When I first heard about the accident my initial reaction was "this is why vision only systems are inadequate". The fact that it didn't even detect the object at all before it collided with it with lidar, radar, and vision is inexcusable. This could set fully autonomous cars back enough that forget the cost of one life, this delay could kill tens of thousands because of a preventable accident.
I don't think any of these apps are the way they are because of a lack of help. Specifically, GIMP's gui is the way it is because the leaders of the project want it that way.
This is a very good point. But I will see if BMW actually does mass produce EVs.

It's not that expensive. If you can afford $10,000-$20,000 over the life of a car in fuel (plus a few thousand in oil changes and brake jobs), you can afford a $7500 battery. Especially since that pulls thousands of dollars worth of complexity out of the drivetrain.
> Breast augmentation has been proven in studies to result in higher income over the long run. So maybe superficial, but definitely not silly.

Did this study check for the obvious possibility of women of higher income being more inclined to pay for a breast augmentation?

I'm sure any serious journal will require this before accepting such paper, but the amount of junk science being published in humanities journals forces me to ask.
If you want to get serious about developing EV technology, why not start with a big customer that has a use case that makes the problem a lot easier?

Also, small vans for use inside cities is a big market. All delivery services need them, all kinds of workmen need them. With bans for Diesel cars in German cities on the horizon all kinds of businesses are complaining because Diesels are the only offering in that category.
I think its more important to consider who startups should NOT hire and give large 'management' roles to. Namely middle managers who come from large bureaucratic, declining public companies.

they bring in all the baggage that startups are supposedly supposed to operate without.

of course there are exceptions (the individual is creative, very high IQ etc)...but if your sole reason for hiring them is 'oh they were the senior director of x at [fortune 500 company]'...just no.
I'm sorry but if your resume shows you've never spent more than 12 months in a job over the past X years then I pretty much drop it.

I don't really care why your career has played like that.

At best, you are a an awesome employee who won't stay with them more than your "frequency period".

At worst, you get discovered and fired within your frequency period.

Especially true for senior roles. Team lead for 5 months? Drop the resume.

Not always true, but in general terms if you are a great employee then you tend to hang around.

I know these are generalisations but when I am sitting there reading 300 resumes in a row and trying to work out who is going to get through an employers gruelling assessment process then if you hop jobs then it's just not worth the effort to even try to assess you.

In software development, there is a co-investment between employer and employee in which time spent in a job tends to result an an increase of value through knowledge of the systems and therefore productivity. Job hoppers don't accumulate such value, and leaving early removes that value from the employers side of the relationship.
> french wine will always be better than nappa

I would posit that mostly, what these people mean is that “French wine will always be more French than Napa.” And they have an aesthetic preference for the terroir of French wine.

To put that another way: a lot of culinary aesthetics—and aesthetics generally—is just a rationalization of nostalgia. People want food that tastes like food they remember enjoying (even if that memory has more to do with their mood at the time, or the ambiance, or any other thing that can colour a memory), rather than particularly caring about food being good in the same way as food they remember enjoying. People would prefer a food that recaptures their youth, to a food that’s an optimized, culinarily “better” version of that food, every time. (Unless they’re chefs, or professional food critics.)

You can't seriously believe that the words of constitution have the same meaning and interpretation for everyone. Clearly what people think the words mean changes from person to person and even from era to era. Peoples' views change over time. The words don't change but how people view and understand the meaning of those words change. This is not disputable or revelatory.
> running from three alarm fire to three alarm fire without the ability to tie things up over the longer term

No offense but that is incredibly frustrating for employees. It really sucks being in a team that is continually chasing fires with no time to do something strategic -and the a manager will bring some highly paid freelancer who works 9-5 without stress telling you how it should be done. What I'd like is the managers to bring in people to do the shitty work while employees get some downtime to improve things for a change.

I'm not making that comparison because the Philippines are not a developed country like the USA or Japan.
The two are not exclusive. The batteries have indeed cost too much until 2015 or so, which is still 5 years earlier compared to the 2020 target BMW is giving.

However, it's undeniable that the carmakers weren't in a hurry to build EVs because EVs would be too much of a disruption to their businesses. Maybe a linear 0.5% growth per year? Yeah, they could deal with that. But they'd hate it if the EV market explodes to 10% in 2022 and 20% in 2025, and 50% in 2030.
After 2020, western countries are probably not the biggest market for new cars.
Sorry, none of those "reasons" are reasons at all in my book.

So you have one instance of a cow eating a chick. That's hardly enough evidence to claim that cows eat "whatever they can find", especially without considering the cow's environmental circumstances. How many cows living in their natural environment would eat another animal? I'm open to being shown otherwise, but this is just silly at this point.
How do you think "I've been to Mexico" is going to make your answer authoritative to the two people having the debate, given they are both Mexican?
Beans tarnish the authenticity? It's all about beans. My father was a migrant worker, they came from Mexico to Texas and then whatever state they could find work in. All they ate was beans and tortillas, that's all they could afford.

Genetic algorithms yes but genetic programming is actually able to invent new things. Possibly optimizing the set of weight of a neural network to solve a given problem is more similar to genetic programming, if you see the NN as a computational unit.

Neither does FB I believe. Otherwise their business model of knowing more about you than anybody else would fall apart.
>People who hear that say, Lexus are doing badly and have severe problems with their cars are going to go buy an Audi.

If you're buying something where a large part of the value is in the image/brand it's usually not fashionable to complain about it.

When a S10 breaks it's GM's fault. When a Tacoma breaks the owner didn't treat it right.

When a Kia breaks it's unreliable. When a BMW breaks that's just part of owning a BMW.

Tesla has cultivated an image (or rabid bunch of fanboys, depending on your perspective) where you're expected to put up with shoddy build quality and less than prompt service as part of the ownership experience so Tesla gets a pass on those things.
Yes Agners doc is wrong or perhaps misleading here. He mentions that for loads and stores he tested a loop of load and store to the same location (essentially essentially testing store forwarding latency) to get the latency of that pair and then "arbitrarily divided" the measured latency between the load and the store.

He did that because to measure the latency of a single instruction the "domain" (eg GP register, SIMD register memory, etc)) of the input(s) as to be the same as the output.

Stores have memory output but register/address input so it isn't really possible to measure the latency of a store in isolation. That's why Agners paired up loads and stores to get a latency figure and did the arbitrary split.

All that out of the way, it is possible to measure the latency of a load, at least for the load-to-address path like you mention with a pointer chasing load. That latency is 4 cycles minimum on all modern Intel. Add extra 1 cycle each for complex addressing modes or vector loads.

So yeah, a load latency of 2 is nonsense for modern Intel. Even talking about the latency is also nonsense since all the loads are independent so it's the throughput, not the latency that matters.

IIRC some chips have had 2 cycle L1 accesses: some P4 designs and one of the semi-recent POWER chips.
Android is a mess, but the really big issue lurking is GSuite OAuth. The "Google Docs" fiasco [1] is proof that for a long time they didn't even prevent impersonation of Google functionality on the platform. The only options for GMail seem to be "access everything" so all the apps do that. It doesn't even seem to be a terms violation to use data for other purposes, I couldn't find that at all for the unenroll.me story. [2]

They do have the technical means to offer more nuanced permissions. Things like "send emails and read replies on email threads it creates" or "access to emails matching this kind of search where new search terms would require a re-auth". It's not a priority though.

In their defense, millions of people were giving away their passwords to a bunch of external apps and the current situation is better than that.

10% seems quite a lot, I'm wondering if your hour rate is so high that the 10% doesn't matter.
Sure, but can we at least admit that maybe VW did the math and decided it wasn't worth it to them? And that they could have arrived at this conclusion without deciding to sabotage EV development?
Genetic algorithms 'invent new things' by doing exactly the same thing as other optimization methods - tweaking the values of particular parameters. The only difference in is how they do so.
Or not allowed to compete.
Me either. I think maybe swap that out for the "Old Heads" of IT and it's a solid list.
Wider gamut is what might be the differentiator here.

With respect to power consumption, the video codec would probably draw more than 100mW [1], and at that point, the 2mW display consumption would not matter.

Are those AND conditions or OR conditions on autoplays? If and, will we see these videos shrink to 199x139 to avoid tripping the detectors? Oh happy day, the pause button will be even smaller and harder to click!
Isn't that the reason to avoid hardware you have no control over, though? AFAIK, this isn't a problem if you're using a HTPC, or not using the app on mobile. This isn't any different than complaining that you can't leave the walled garden in iOS, it is the product working as intended. Which does have some benefits (i.e. better security for iOS vs. android sideloaded apps), but drawbacks as well.

I do AI/ML/data science freelancing, (usually around cyber security), but also do a lot of Devops / systems work.

The AI/ML stuff is harder to find, save through networking, but for the DevOps/cloud/sysadmin - I favor weworkremotely.com and workingnomads.com. Their email notifications are pretty handy as well.

As someone else mentioned - upwork works, but it’s very very competitive, and I much preferred their Elance platform in the day.
TrustChain: a protocol for networked datastructures, to act as a trust ledger
There is an assumption with some of these responses that you want to learn ML for career progression.

If so, are you really interested in ML or do you just think its the hot bandwagon of the moment which you want to jump on to get ahead? If that is the case, I'd suggest that perhaps that is a bit obvious and to identify something else that is less hyped and mainstream. Perhaps something which you can get ahead of the crowd on and ideally, have genuine interest in.

Right, but that will only strengthen the language, even if you don’t use GTK.

I think you misunderstand the metric. Videos smaller than 199x139 will not qualify as "user intended to watch this video" and therefore Chrome will disable autoplay on those sites.
