Yeah its total runtime of script. However you can get upto 3-4 FPS with more optimizations. We are going to try more quantization options soon with release of tensorflow 1.7 and will report our findings (Will post updates in blog). Also pi camera code needs to be optimized which will further increase FPS. One big advantage of this method is just by collecting ~200 images for any use case, you can have detector ready in couple of hours.

One advantage of using API based approach is you can get much higher FPS without compromising accuracy and is also independent of pi CPU power and heating etc.

> It is starting to get ugly.

Not really, to be honest. The SPX is still above the February high. We are merely back to were we were in October 2017 before the acceleration into the end of the year and the January rally. We're still up around 9% for the last 12 months. Q4 earnings have been extremely strong, and early indications suggest the same for Q1.

The looming risk of a trade war seems to have spooked the market somewhat, which has resulted in a re-pricing. But, as it stands, pullbacks are still buying opportunities here as long as we don't see a large scale escalation.

We do hire interns but we don't have a regular (e.g. summer) internship program. Interns are hired when we have a space and usually stay until graduation. Right now we have interns so it's unlikely we'll have new intern positions until, at least, the end of this year. If you're interested I would sign up for USAjobs.gov and create a notification for engineering internship positions. You can see a list of our current open positions [1] on USAjobs.gov as well.

Tempo Automation | Full-Stack Software Engineer | SF | Full-Time | ONSITE | https://www.tempoautomation.com

Tempo operates a factory in SF to produce printed circuit boards extremely quickly - in doing so, we give our customers the physical equivalent of a fast compiler, enabling them to turn their designs into real products significantly faster than they could before. Our customers build rockets, drones, medical devices, and much more - working at Tempo means you can accelerate all of these industries at once.

Providing a system to produce circuit boards quickly and correctly means we're both a software shop and an advanced manufacturer. Our software team is still pretty small (6 engineers) which means any new hires will still have an outsize impact on the direction of our technology, and on the company as a whole.

We love hiring strong generalists who take initiative and act as part-time PMs when they're working on projects.

Some projects you might work on:

- Offering real-time, automated manufacturing feedback based on certain parameters of our customers' designs. Think linting for hardware.

- Optimizing our factory processes with machine learning and scheduling algorithms.

- Encoding the three-dimensional structure of each order's components (e.g. resistors, capacitors) for our assembly robots, in order to speed up assembly and ensure minimal manufacturing defects.

- Optimizing our automated optical inspection machine to make it faster than any in the industry.

We're also excited to be moving into a MUCH larger factory (>4x the floor space) in SoMa in a couple months, which means you'll see that space evolve from nothing into an enormous, high-tech manufacturing complex.

Are you surprised that people are upset when resources that used to be local are spread thinly across the globe? Forgive them, when they don't jump for joy.

You ignore the very real feeling they must be having when they can't afford a home. You ignore how they must feel when they put off marriage, and having children, because they're living paycheck to paycheck. You ignore how it must feel to wonder if you'll ever retire, feeling like you just barely missed the "good times". Its happening in our country, in our neighborhoods, to good people. It's no wonder Trump's slogan was "Make America Great Again". People eat that shit up right now. The standard of living is dropping and the middle and lower classes are feeling it the worst.

But hurray, global poverty is down.

There's a real dilution to the western experience happening right now and it's naïve to brush off the woes of your countryman with the idealistic perspective of a global poverty lift.

Most thicker laptops run on 18650 cells, which are mechanically quite resilient. They almost always use unprotected cells with a Uchiya cutoff and a dedicated BMS with some fusing and thermal, voltage and current monitors.

No external mechanisms can help with issues originating within a cell (mechanical damage etc.), which methinks is a more common cause of catastrophic failures.
Most patents that I come across read as landgrabs, not as companies that actually have working prototypes, proofs of concept or any plans to produce those.

> Trump is a skilled negotiator

I think this meme died 6 months ago. If /s, carry on.
My view of this is: all of us who have written a lot of code feel intuitively there is something wrong with how coding is done. It feels like we are repeating too much work every time, reinventing the wheel for the umpteenth time. It feels like the tools and notations we have are missing something fundamental and thus forcing extra menial work that is not essentially necessary. Eve was one of the multiple attempts at converting that intuition in actual knowledge and in an actual product. They weren't able to do it, same as Intentional Software and others before them, but they explored uncharted territory using that intuition, and that is an interesting exploration. Kudos to them for trying. And hopefully someone will find the underlying core concepts we're missing to make that leap into future programming!
In my second to last company (a web development shop), they had originally the policy that a new developers can choose if he want either a mac, linux or windows machine. When i arrived there it was 75% mac and the rest used linux, not even one had made the choice for windows. After a while some new guys get hired and one of them wanted to use windows. We found out immediately, that this caused a lot of problems, because he had serious problems to get our projects to run under windows, even though we thought this shouldn't be an issue because all the dev environments were running in VMs managed by vagrant. After while ago watching this guy not getting productive, because he ran from one issue into another, cto forced him to install linux on his machine to end this horror show and windows was removed from the new guys choices at least for developers.
The company i went after that and my current one are 100% mac environments, for the reasons of homogeneity you mentioned.
Huh? That has nothing to do with what I said.

Random scares people away (or into violent opposition), not into line; for punishment to be effective in getting people in line, you want people to be maximally clear on what action will and will not provoke it.

Lovely analogy.

Like so much other information, it sits on both sides of the balance sheet: Both an asset (if used correctly) and a liability (if collected and kept carelessly).
Trade deficit is also a red herring. It's accompanied by an equal and opposite capital account surplus. In this case China invests in US Treasuries. Now this is money you could be spending wisely -- funding obligations and social services, investing in education, investing in infrastructure, investing in new technology. The rhetorical question is what has the US been spending it on?

It's crystal clear what the problem is. It's not the trade deficit, which is simply a result of the market's way of allocating where capital and labor should be. The market is giving US laborers an extraordinary break -- let others be slaves, you take the capital. The problem is what the US has been doing with this capital.

Snowplow Analytics | Remote | Full time | 2X INTERSHIPS

We are looking for 2 open source software engineering interns this Summer (May through August), for an 8-16 week paid internship. Our interns will work directly on and contribute to projects within the Snowplow open source stack (https://github.com/snowplow). A Snowplow intern loves coding, enjoys experimenting with new technologies and is happiest working "in the open" on community/team projects. Technologies we use at Snowplow include Scala, Rust, JRuby, Go, Hadoop, Kinesis, Redshift, Spark, Akka and Kafka.

This is a paid internship; we will consider remote candidates who are up to UTC +/- 5 hours maximum. If you're interested, please email miriam@snowplowanalytics.com, and tell us about a piece of software you are proud to have written. (And don't be afraid to suggest specific projects/initiatives/features that you would like to work on in your internship.)
Congrats, it's a hell of a habit to quit.

Most of his votes came from the same place that most of any other Republican candidate's votes come from, including the ones that lost. Most of the swing towards the Republican candidate that caused him to win, unlike John McCain and Mitt Romney who also had the support of those wealthy Republicans, came from working class and less well off voters.

> and there are also structural barriers placed in the way of their doing so in many places

Thanks to the powers of social media, though, this won't be as much an issue as in previous elections - people can share workarounds and actually document stuff happening and spreading the word - worldwide, for free and not (easily) censorable.

The "old generation" simply has accepted being more or less denied their right to vote, the current young generation has the willpower and the resources to actually fight back... where the biggest and most effective resource is creating outrage on social media.
The only reason this is getting so much press is because it was favorable to Trump. If we look at left leaning abuses of "news", it gets buried in downvotes and derided as "both sides".

If you really want to combat the problem, you need to attack the root of the problem - for-profit 'news' organizations.

There should be regulations around ownership and foreign funding of anything that labels itself "news" or "journalism".
It would make a fine business out of black market lottery ticket selling.
Much as I'd like to believe otherwise, I don't think this genie is going back in the bottle. Ever. There's too much money involved and our systems of governance are too fundamentally corrupt and unreliable to permit that.

You're lucky that you get to have just one dev environment. I have 2 Windows, 1 Mac, 2 iOS and 1 Android device on my work desk and I have to constantly switch between them.

That said, I do most of my heavy lifting on the Mac, and all primary dev on a Mac. Doing the equivalent tasks is a chore in Windows. I used to be all-Windows, but once I understood that MacOS is file-oriented and not program-oriented, it helped a lot.
> No, if I buy BTC for $1 then sell it for $2, there is now $1 more in BTC than I put in to it.

There are no dollars in BTC, period. Dollars and BTC may both move, and in certain exchanges one may be traded for the other, but the dollars are never in BTC. (Your net worth, which you may choose to measure in dollars, may be tied up in BTC, but no actual dollars are.)

Don't be dense. How a controller in an MVC framework maps to a url and provides an execution path through the framework is an algorithm. The fact you plug in multiple values to make that happen (including the executing function) is the idiom that results in a consistent algorithm. You can alter this, which isn't a compelling argument.
I'm very skeptical but I will try out JetBrains, thanks for the pointer! :)

That might be true of Docker. Kubernetes on the other hand is a way to deploy and manage distributed applications, which are by definition bigger than any single OS.
