> The Trump administration announced that fuel-efficiency regulations for cars and light trucks are too stringent and must be revised, beginning a process sought by the U.S. auto industry to roll back anti-pollution targets.

>The EPA also said it was considering whether to revoke the waiver that allows California to set its own emissions rules that are tougher than the federal standards.
> Take a guess what Medicaid pays for a labor epidural for a pregnant mother, which involves putting a very large needle next to a woman's spinal cord, with possible complications of paralysis, death, headache, back pain, infection, failure of epidural, etc?

I've looked up the price and for one hospital in Belgium [0]. The rates, including the room you stay in, are:

Uninsured: €140~€420
Insured: €17~€200
Insured with low income: €10~€190

The large variation is due to shared common room vs single personal room.

An epidural really shouldn't be insanely expensive. Of course, exposure to litigation and risk for the doctor is much lower here.

I'm not so sure about this. Customers already are familiar with purchasing on Amazon. So if anything, Amazon increasing advertising for your product will only increase demand for that product. And that same customer who made the choice to purchase at your store should still purchase at your store since that choice was there to begin with and they already chose your store.

The only difference would be if that customer was not familiar with Amazon's offering prior to purchasing at your store. But only until we get concrete numbers and evidence can we conclude if that number who will be driven to Amazon would balance against the customers who are driven by advertising for more demand towards your store.
I recently experienced Visual Studio 6 in a Win2k VM, and it was sickening how fast it was compared to modern tools. Same with Office2k apps, and all using an order of magnitude less memory. There has to be a better way than the path we are on, software-wise.
This is seriously cool.
Mapbox is pretty expensive for small commercial apps, $499 flat rate + usage costs. If your commercial usage is on the smaller side, the new Google Maps pricing looks really good.

I was a Mapzen customer, their pricing model was great, very sorry to see it go.
And I thought that if working with Python 2 on a MS Windows system, then you also didn't really have to think about strings. That is, Python's narrow Unicode strings matched the native UCS-2 of Windows.

I did some Python 2 programming under Windows and don't recall string issues; certainly fewer issues than I've had in dealing with Python 3 changes.

I agree that what we have now is an improvement. I just don't see why the old way was really Unix-centric.
How do you generate the summaries?
It's much easier to read an image than an old, crumbly document that you can only see if you're physically located in Rome.

That doesn't justify OCRing it instead of just photographing it, but it certainly justifies the idea that the documents are much less useful hidden than scanned.

yeah, the question still stands. instagram is a particularly nice example of what i'm talking about: it was much snappier pre-fb aquisition. (tho of course hard to know how much of that if any is the fault of react native or other things changing.)
It does when those events and the decades that followed have prevented minorities from having the opportunities to become a good engineer. This isn't about you and I not recognizing talent in front of us, it's about giving that talent a chance to stand in front of, and ideally next to, us.
iOS11 added a "Desktop view" mode but I am not sure the feature is well known (Android has had the feature forever, so by mobile, you mean iOS I think).

From memory, in Safari, tap share, then scroll across to desktop view. I don't have an iDevice with me at moment, but it should work.
If we're playing "recommend a language", I'll mention my personal favorite: Zig.

-`const` for declaring immutables, `var` for mutables, do what you want.

-Use globals if you want, or don't.

-Can directly import C headers, generally no need to write bindings.

-Personally I've found it significantly more productive

-Compiles fast, but lets be fair, people only bring this up because C++ and Rust are the outliers here by compiling so slowly.

Other noteworthy features:

-Standard library is completely optional.

-No default allocator.

-Comptime functionality instead of macros.

In the US, a Ford XL SUV will get killed by the DOT if it does fit in standard lane sizes, among other considerations. I am sure this is why there comparatively few brands of automobiles here

There is no such governing body for Electron, save for the nebulous "market"; nobody with any authority is forcing them (GitHub et al) to fix their shit or GTFO
By "mobile" I mean Android. And since Android has many browsers "Desktop view" may or may not exist, and if it does exist and can mean many different things. I don't bother to use it because I never found it to work properly. I haven't tried for a couple of years, though.

How can it both be unprofitable to treat people near the end of their lives yet also wipe out a lifetime of savings? If end of life care transfers the life savings of the elderly to the providers, that sounds quite profitable. Why shouldn't the elderly pay for these services? They have most of the money! And the dying have the least use for it whereas the young (whom you would tax for these services) have plenty of life and obligations yet to pay for. How is taxing the poor to pay for the healthcare of the rich moral?

Well, it really just shows a pernicious, probably purposeful misunderstanding of discrimination.

Some discrimination is good. Children shouldn't be able to drive cars. Blind people shouldn't be allowed to fly planes. Adults are not allowed to compete in junior boxing leagues.

Most people know this. Most people can also distinguish between this, and the systematic violence, physical and social, that society conducts against marginalized groups.

Racists often pretend to think that racial discrimination is akin to the normal kind of discrimination, for two reasons. First, it's so they can imply that racial discrimination is kind of small beer. Second, it's so they can use normal forms of discrimination as dogwhistles.

I don't know if the poster is a racist. He's probably just an idiot. I think a lot of people who are ordinarily intelligent get attached to formal definitions that are deceptive.
This might be true for some domains but it's far from true for the performance sensitive domains I'm familiar with - games / VR / realtime rendering. The trend is if anything the opposite there as expectations around scene and simulation complexity are ever increasing.
I'm pretty sure it's too late by now for Python, but I've had some success with compiling C-based interpreters [0] to C; that is, generating the actual C code that the interpreter would execute to run the program. That way you can reuse much of the interpreter, keep the dynamic behavior and still get nimble native executables.

Absolutely equal no, or else it would be the same app. But that's contrived.

My point is that given two apps that both have the features a user considers "must have", few, if any, would pick the Electron one over the native, precisely because of the extra burden in cpu/memory/speed of Electron.

Been eyeing Mapbox myself. How do you think OSM/Mapbox can deal with the constant burden of meta-data gathering?

From some basic OSM v Google tests, OSM coverage was much lower for things like place names or speed limits.

As you say, the infrastructure requirements for this seem massive, though perhaps getting better as GIS info become easier to gather.
Relevant stats:

>The algorithms predicted a clinical diagnosis of ASD with high specificity, sensitivity and positive predictive value, exceeding 95 percent at some ages.

More about the metrics you care about[1]

Edit: Many people in this thread are talking about bayesian stats that it appears they don't full appreciate or understand. They're saying that 95% statistical accuracy is commendable. 95% sensitivity and 95% specificity aren't good enough to use in broad tests. Why? Autism has a 1/68 likely hood[2]. Meaning if you had a sample of 100 general-population people, tested them with this test, the likely hood of someone who tests positive for the test is actually positive (positive predictive value) is a measly ~20% (that is Probability that you have the condition given you test positive). Play around with these more at the following app:

On the "Things I Want To Learn But Rarely Get Around To™" list there is Rust and to a lesser degree, Elm (although I am starting to worry about rumblings of dissatisfaction in how Elm is being managed).

I'm also been reading a bit about Event Sourcing application design. I want to play with it, but it seems like I have to get my head around CQRS and Domain-driven design as part of the process...
> - Tesla will not offer a leasing option on the Model 3 this year. Translation, Telsa needs cash and needs it right now in a big way.

This doesn't necesarily follow, as it'd be fairly straightforward to run the leases through a third party who would give Tesla cash.

To me it looks like trying to give a hand up to minorities. Do you look at tech and say "man, if only the white guys could catch a break..."?
Were you part of the poverty stricken population? My experience has been poor white people are not accepted by our professional community.
I invite you to do likewise. We will be quite well enough without ignorant busybodies posturing as moral crusaders hectoring us into enabling further deprivation of our property and liberty.
>"Python only ran on Unix and never supported Windows at all",

I think the misunderstanding stems from no one having said this :P

One might rephrase "english-unix-ascii" from my other comment to "english-command line tooling-fixed width system encoding".

As someone who would qualify for the linked program, I agree. A lot of words just to say "no Asians allowed".
Having contacted Google Maps sales years ago, their salespeople were some of the worst I've ever encountered--rude, inconsistent aggressive pricing, and vaguely threatening. I avoid them at all costs, and as others mention, Mapbox is a great alternative.
But why? why would you need this?
FWIW - My lawyers said renewing your TN Visa, when you live in the States is expected to be difficult - as opposed to living in Canada, and crossing the border every day for work.

My company heavily suggested I switch to h1b simply because they expected my TN visa renewal to be denied (I am now on a h1b1)
If a French person needs urgent care in America they'll get it too. I think you're giving too much credit to "EU reciprocity agreements".

Back when I was working on a map heavy app, Google Maps API seemed designed to discourage usage. Bad/opaque pricing, usage limits, assumption that Google robots will pull the plug with no warning. In fact all Google APIs seem to be this way - they are not really interested in enabling 3rd party apps through their APIs. Seems bizarre to me, because they could gobble up the businesses of companies like Mapbox overnight if they made an effort here.
To be honest, I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or serious. I'm guessing serious?

I don't think it would be unusual for them to make a statement that while technically true is misleading.
Not explicit at all. It's just under education with "in progress (expected graduation 2019)".

I'm wondering if I should even mention I'm attending college again. It seems trying to spin my dropping out as positive (which it was at the time) might be a worthless pursuit... Which just adds to the regret.

There is no way known that the tone of these comments would be so negative if the name at the top of the list was, say, John Guttag rather than Ana Bell.

Top comment "Her recommendations are poor." Really? I call bullshit on that. I say it's a fine list put together by someone who teaches the most prominent course on introductory programming with the reasoning behind each of the choices. My list would be different. So would yours. That's the point. (Top comment calling "poor" couldn't come up with 5 books!) But hey, it's a woman so out come the idiots being wildly critical in ways they would not be other than they seem to be unaware of how confronted they are by a, gasp, woman. Wooo...

No, this is not a consequence of "liberal democracy", this happens a lot more in non democratic governments.

If you want to put it this way, which I think it's wrong, this would be a consequence of libertarian conservatism, where private companies would spy on groups of people and try to manipulate them, instead of the government.

The Jupyter team deserves every accolade they get and more. The console, notebook, and now JupyterLab are some of the key reasons why Python's data ecosystem thrives.

I think Jupyter notebooks are quite useful as "rich display" shells. I often use them to set up simple interactive demos or tutorials to show folks or keep notes or scratch for myself.

That being said, I do think the "reproducibility" aspect of the notebook is overblown for the reasons other comments cite. Notebooks are hard to version control and diff, and are easy to "corrupt." I often see Jupyter notebooks described as "literate programs," and I really don't think that's an apt description. The notebook is basically the IPython shell exposed to the browser where you can display rich output.

This is where I think the R ecosystem's approach to the problem is better (a bit like org-mode & org-babel). For them, there is a literate program in plain text. Code blocks can be executed interactively and results displayed inline by a "viewer" on the document (like that provided by RStudio), but executing code doesn't change the source code of the program, and diffs/versions are only created by editing the source. At any point, the file can be "compiled" or processed into a static output document like HTML or PDF.

This is essentially literate programming but with an intermediate "interactive" feature facilitated by an external program. RMarkdown source doesn't know its being interacted with or executed, and you can edit it like any other literate program.

Interaction, reproducibility, and publication have fundamental tensions with each other. Jupyter notebooks are trying to do all three in the same software/format, and my sense is that they're starting to strain against those tensions.
Yeah, IMO the whole thing was a pie in the sky dream 20 years ago that we'd have magical APIs that automagically all work together in harmony by following HATEOAS links to do what they want. So it would be like the internet of APIs and a "universal client" would be the browser.

But what was misunderstood in that vision is that context can't readily be conveyed through some simplistic HATEOAS verbs. In the real internet of internets, with browsers and HTMLs, you have help links, positioning, colors, animations, highlighting, decades of UX research to help people understand what the various buttons do. HATEOAS was supposed to provide this in an automated way as a "browser for APIs", but ultimately the concept is far too simplistic to guide anything beyond an obvious CRUD model. And for an obvious CRUD model, well, it's unnecessary.

So anyway, that's my position after a decade of experience with it.
We use GraphQL in production. A combination of GraphQL schema types and Flow types means, at compile time we can catch a lot of client-side bugs caused by server-side changes.

>I imagine consumers would be fine with 95% uptime of a gigabit connection compared to 99,99999% uptime of 16mbit.

I can guarantee that nobody would be okay with 95% uptime. That means that your Internet access is down for over an hour every day. Given that people go berserk when their Internet is down for even a few minutes, 95% uptime will be unacceptable to consumers.

> people using school vouchers for private schools is [not] a demonstration of their satisfaction with the public school system in their area

It certainly doesn't indicate dissatisfaction with the fact that the money for those vouchers comes out of tax receipts! The primary education system is a single-payer system, and the use of vouchers doesn't change that.
I’m a Tesla skeptic but at this point they just need to put cars on the road. They can ramp up R&D later. They’re pretty far ahead of their competition right now so can afford a pause.

One thing that I find helpful in readmes is an ordered list of pointers to particular parts of the codebase that one should read to get an understanding of the overall structure. This is particularly helpful if the walkthrough of the conceptual framework of the project hosted externally on sites like https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/intro/tutorial01/ because that conceptual framework was designed specifically for this project.
Yeah, I was working on an Alexa skill once where I wanted the user to be able to say anything. That isn’t possible really, unless you give Alexa a really long randomly generated list of un-related/non-existent words for the “intent”, so that when Alexa tries to parse what the user says to those words, it fails and just provides its next best guess.

Maybe I'm missing it, but I'm not seeing what the cost is for higher resolution maps. As I understand it, in addition to usage beyond what the free account allowed, a paid account used to also give you access to higher resolution map tiles and a higher zoom level via their API.
I'm a white guy who was born into a poor, solo parent family situation. I still had privilege due to my colour. Example: no-one ever looked at me and wondered whether I was going to steal something from their shop just on the basis of my skin colour. When I went to school, no-one discouraged me from high-level achievement or assumed that I should do sports based on my colour (and where I come from, this definitely happens to people)
I'm a little peeved at people dismissing their privilege just because their life wasn't perfect. That's not what privilege means.
