Polaroid themselves stopped making the cameras and film. "Polaroid Originals" is a Dutch company that bought Polaroid's instant camera brand and IP. They were previously trying to re-create Polaroid instant film on their own, I think (or they'd bought one of Polaroid's film factories, or something?)

Anyhow, I think they're the ones producing film now, refurbishing old Polaroid cameras, and also selling their own model.
Maybe. Or we could, you know, try to take better care of what we have already?

Try the command in https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/74hetz/emacs_everywh... in your regular terminal vs eshell – piping is really slow in eshell. I guess it somehow reimplements `|` in elisp, possibly losing parallelism along the way. When I reran that command now in eshell, it took 13.4 seconds, during which time Emacs had 100% cpu all the time, and sort/uniq had almost nothing.

Here's my standard response (so much so, that I have a keyboard expansion for it - 'lkno'):

"Hi YOURNAME. Thanks for the connection request but I usually have a policy of only connecting with people I know, have worked with or otherwise have a pre-existing relationship. If we have met and I don't remember it please accept my apologies. If you have a particular reason for wanting to connect, such as a role or opportunity, I am happy to hear what that might be. Otherwise, please feel free to follow me on LinkedIn if you think my comments may be of interest. All the best. Regards."

I usually give them 4-5 days to respond. 9 times out of 10, they don't respond and I 'Ignore' the connection request. Of the remaining 10% that respond, there's probably a 50/50 split between 'No problem. I'll just follow you' (to which my response is 'Thanks for understanding') and 'Hey! Here's a great offer!' (to which I invariably respond with 'Thanks but I'm not interested at this time').

Very rarely, I will get an angry response from someone as if I've actively impaired their career. I don't bother responding to them. Even more rarely, the response is actually of interest and a conversation will ensue (and it may even result in a new connection).

That last extremely rare occurrence is the reason I don't just blanket ignore connection requests. Having been on Linked in since 2008, working as an individual contractor for most of the years since, and using variations on the above approach for most of that time, I've amassed over 1000 connections of which maybe 25% are recruiters.
> How many illegal immigrants to California fall into that category? So most of the “transplants” that are relevant to this discussion are coming from other US states.

Why in this thread do you keep making the mistake of thinking migration consists only of domestic migration and illegal immigration? You know that legal international migration (both immigration directed at permanent residency and more transient legal residency by foreigners) is a thing, right, and actually quite a big one in Californiaz right?
As someone who is doing his bachelor thesis on Reinforcement Learning this is some useful information.

It's not the stones that have value IMO - It sounds like they're more like a physical representation of more abstract values like "honour" and "respect". A physical token to represent these concepts can then be placed around a dance floor and to the people there, that looks awesome to them.

But if, say, a foreigner use a machine tool to carve one such stone in 3 days and transport it into the island to sell it to the residents, it's not going to be worth much, compared to the stone that's been in one of their families for decades, and where a few years ago they did a ritual with their son with it.

Going further, if said foreigner marries into a local family, and then performs a ritual with his first born son, in front of the newly crafted stone, the ritual involving the whole village, suddenly the stone that didn't have value, would now be valuable and accepted in trade. And later on, if now grown-up son's child commits a mistake and harms another family, that stone can then be offered as an apology.

It has a corollary to our own currency, but the values they represent are different - in our society, currency represents the values of "productivity", "offering what people want" and "cleverness".

Anyway, that's my speculation.
Are you honestly arguing that the majority of international immigration to California consists of wealthy Chinese?
I don't think this is true. Your brain is probably quite different to mine and to your neighbors. Brains are different to each other.

My brain is easily overwhelmed, it's highly sensitive. This means I cannot respond fluidly in stressful situations.

Having a highly sensitive nervous system means that you can pick up on subtle detail easily. But it also means that too much stimulation really effects your ability to process.

This sensitivity is a deep trait, it's down in the biology. You can't think your way out of it, you can't overcome it. It's a deep deep part of a person and someone without sensitivity can have a hard time understanding what it is like - and this is where your answer comes from.

You do not understand what it is like to live with high sensitivity. It is both a blessing and a curse.

I am highly sensitive. This means I am highly emotional, highly creative, very intuitive - I read people easily. But it also means I can't endure busy environments: crowds, large meetings, rock concerts, sporting events. Not without consequences: confusion, tiredness, stress, etc.

We are different creatures, you and I. But that does not make us better or worse, just different, that's all. We should learn to respect each other for our shortcomings and our strengths.

The benefit is for satellite launches, the increased performance allows for launching heavier satellites.

It's highly debatable if there is a higher risk to human life as well - unlike with rockets where you fuel up before the astronauts board, you don't have people approaching a fueled up rocket which could explode with no possibility of escape. Instead if there is a issue while fueling up, the astronauts are in a capsule with a escape system which should pull them safely away from the rocket if there is a problem.

These map tiles are based on OpenMapTiles [1], which has a non-commercial side with less-frequent exports of OSM, and a commercial side with frequent updates [2]. The exports can be downloaded as MBTiles (SQLite) databases of vector tiles.

If you're just using tiles, I don't see any difference with Stadia Maps — perhaps price, I don't use OpenMapTiles' commercial services.

Stadia do offer routing using Valhalla, which OpenMapTiles don't offer.

> faster than C here

It's "faster than C which swims with the tied hands": when you allow all optimizations C is "infinitely fast" in this given case, as the loops aren't even executed but the results precomputed in the compile time.

Can you give your numbers for Chrome? Typically it was slower than Firefox for such Javascript since a while. Note that to make comparison fair you have to use a while loop in a while loop and to print the resulting counters after both loops finish.
Another option is to give it directly to poor people, no strings attached as mentioned in a recent HN article as being an effective way to use funds to help people get out of poverty.
Overview of Migrating Apps to the Cloud
I disagree. Introversion at it's core is about sensitivity to over stimulation.
This sensitivity to over stimulation is not something that you can control, it's baked into the biology, into the neural connectivity of the brain.

This means that something that is not very stimulating to you, can be practically overwhelming to me.

It's not insecurity, it's not emotional issues. It's biology.

And turning it into something that sensitive people should be able to overcome - turning it into a personal failing is not helpful.

You can be safety-obsessed and still have accidents when you're doing something as risky as space travel I think.
Sending men into space is a vanity mission, not a science mission.[1] Unmanned mission solve the risk problem for SpaceX type progress and yield more answers for a lot less money.

[1] With the exception of politically valuable missions such as the International space station which employed Russian scientist in a bid to keep them from selling their skills to undesirable state actors.
You can get deadlocks in stackless coroutines too. The reason node.js won't deadlock is that it is single threaded.

I find stackful coroutines (ie, Go, Rust, Python Async, etc.) quite useful, they don't behave differently to normal functions and in most languages also don't require callbacks (you can exchange channels, generators, etc.).

Additionally, such actually threaded implementations of coroutines can take advantage of multiple CPU cores more easily, goroutines can swap quickly in and out of CPU threads. Any waiting action will suspend the goroutine until the IO is available. Unlike in Node.js it won't have to wait until the current synchronous action is done since it can be scheduled in another goroutine at any time (and goroutines automatically yield regularly or you put in manual yields).

There is nothing wrong with hiding the nature of the async under the hood of a sync function as long as the abstraction is clean, which in most cases it quite easily can be. For some cases you'll obviously need locks of course, but a simply RWMutex/RWLock can prevent deadlocks easily for 99% of situations where you will need it.
Or it means people want you to think you are stupid for not knowing something that in reality doesn't exist or doesn't have the credit and success it wants you to believe to has.

You are right, it should be the expected value for the sum of all future rewards.

At the same time, given that we're talking about bandits, it doesn't really matter, since there is no state. Thus, the summatory over time you'd like to see doesn't change the relative ordering of the actions: the expected value in your definition is simply the expected reward for the action multiplied by the number of times you expect to play. So it doesn't really change anything.
It's not. I'm still making new friends regularly. It's not about the age. It's about your lifestyle and your desire to make friends.

It just happens that a lot of people, around 30, prioritize some life styles that makes you less social. Also, they are trying to make something out of what they have right now, instead of getting something new.
Nope. That graph is incredibly misleading. Note that the middle color represents 3-7% inflation-adjusted returns after "fees and taxes" (how are those calculated?) and the light red color represents 0-3% inflation-adjusted returns (again after fees and taxes). 6.2% is the claimed average inflation-adjusted return. A lump sum invested for 67 years at 6.2% is something like a 5500% return on initial investment.

Very few start dates yield poor returns over a 20-year period, and fewer over a 25+ year period. Much less 67 years.

I'm also not sure about the methodology of "including fees and taxes," since the average mutual fund fee has been very high until quite recently, despite Vanguard's start in the 70s, and taxes are highly individual. The article is light on details.

How come people don't realize that less jobs due to automation should mean more vacation?
I'm not an accountant but presumably you treat it the same as the fairly common purchase+service contract. You have a sale of a license (of the version at time of purchase) and the prepaid service contract that either converts to revenue over time, or, if non-refundable, converts to revenue immediately. The proportion between the two components is fairly arbitrary. There is no constraint on how they implement this from an accounting perspective - they can change to allowing the user to keep the latest version they upgraded to without serious consequence (you can just as easily sell "product version X with one year of updates" which is very common as well, and mark that as revenue right away).

So golf by yourself, and a walk around the block in your new suit?
I'm a fan of the user space threading for IO programs that handle more than one stream. It gives you the same context you are used to in blocking programs without the mostly needless thread context switching.

My context is that most of my recent years work was in high performance systems that handle thousands of streams concurrently and only have a limited amount of cores and a rather limited amount of processing for each io request have so the context switching cost becomes a high percentage compared to actual work done.
I was wondering how you were over 120 years old there, for a moment, then I realized turn of the century doesn't mean that century any more.
How does the brain give rise to consciousness?
That's just oversimplified and not true. Sending men into space in the sixties and seventies got so much more done than automated missions to the moon because it forced us to work harder and solve more important problems.

Sending probes to learn trivia about the universe is not as important as developing better ways to support and transport human life. At all.
Preroll (IMA3) integration with an HTML5 video player is a really tricky dance when you’re trying to support mobile/desktop browsers with a resilient and consistent video player experience. Autoplay has been one of the most difficult differences to manage across browsers.

There’s no browser api that tells you if autoplay is supported, and you won’t get meaningful errors when you try to autoplay when you can’t.

Ultimately the right solution is to just-don’t-autoplay-ever, but it’s a hard sell when you see a 20-40% drop in VOD begins when you remove autoplay.

I’m not sure how to even approach Chrome deciding to autoplay “sometimes”. You have to tell the video player to autoplay a video a.m3u8, but swap that out for preroll.m3u8 before you know if any of it is going to work at all. If it fails, you’re gonna see weird errors in IMA3, or at the video player level, none of which really help you decide how to gracefully handle the situation.

So yeah, if you have client-side preroll, just don’t autoplay I guess.
