I think we are talking past each other. I have never said I know the unknown, that would be silly. But funds,entsllu can’t avoid false negatives without degrading other performance , assuming some reasonable things. Even without those assumption, there is a very real cost to what you are suggesting. You seem to be waving off this cost.

So in order for it to make sense to spend that money, you want some evidence there will be a positive return. Far from contradicting my position, what limited data I have seen does not support that effort, at least in the general case. Certainly whatsapp and the like don’t speak to it - they are very much outliers.

By all means try it. If your false positive rate explodes it will be an expensive lesson, but that’s always a risk.

One last point, the idea that nobody thinks about this and try’s thinks is laughable , which is worth noting because some comments in this thread almost suggest that it’s true,.
60fps isn't high enough for realistic motion. 60fps on a sample-and-hold display gives you obvious blur, and 60fps on a low persistence display gives you obvious flicker. It would be better to standardize on 120fps (as with Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk), because that gives acceptable motion quality even on a sample-and-hold display, and it's an integer multiple of common frame rates so it's backwards compatible with legacy equipment with minimum quality loss.
People have better things to do than to minmax individual trips. They generally prefer being able to hop on the next train than to save a small amount of money.

Technically superior only for still shots. 24fps has such poor motion quality that all the advantage is lost whenever something moves or pans. Digital projectors are available for 4K 120fps, which produces more realistic video than any film format (even Showscan).

> The new private operators didn't bother with unprofitable but socially-valuable routes, which local governments felt obliged to serve or subsidise.

That's exactly how it should be. A lot of people have the idea that bus operators should be forced to drive the unprofitable routes in order to be allowed to drive the profitable ones. This would work if buses were literally the only way to get around. Since they are not, what it does is drive up the cost of public transport and make it less appealing. In Finland, it eventually caused the prices to rise so high, that it was generally cheaper to drive. This is socially disastrous.

If there is a route that is not profitable to run, you should not expect a company to run it. The free market should manage the profitable routes, and drive down the prices as low as they can go. Any socially valuable routes on top of those should be subsidized out of the taxes of the people they provide value to.

Medium level will probably get a simple one working OK but be unable to tune it (e.g. get stuck in execution speed or a false positive problem)

Senior engineers might be able to do it in 1-2 focused days.

But regardless of your skill level you should just attempt it. It doesn’t matter if you don’t get all the way through, you will learn loads in the process, and if you get stuck your subconscious will wittle away and you’ll have some lighting bolt moment while you’re in the shower, or biking, or playing games.

I think you are mistaken. That is why I ask. Every euro from EU is given to a country for a specific thing. Regional development, building roads, public parks etc. I am wondering what EU grants can be converted to cover public transportation.
I think it specifically is not used because it's a more complex idea that requires a lot of initial effort and mental work until the benefits are apparent.

Some users pay, some don't. Not everyone is a net tax payer. And not every tax payer is a user.
The thing is, private transit has an incentive to go anywhere there's sufficient density of people. If buses don't want to go somewhere, it's probably because there aren't enough people to justify it there, which can be solved with zoning.

Sometimes there are other issues too, like too much crime, but even then there's still something for the government to solve that would make it profitable for private transit.
USSR we paid to use public transport, and I even remember when my father was caught for not paying and he had to pay a fine...
The reality is that you'll go there, get the same choices as now, but those willing to do some research, or have more advanced requirements (say go Edinburgh to London, then come back via an overnight stop in Birmingham, and another one in Preston before going back to Edinburgh) will lose out.

Prices for you aren't going to come down, but those of use that know what they're doing will lose out.

the protect is very cool. As a professional deep learning researcher myself, the author couldn't made a few things to make his life more simple, and for better results. For example, using "Image translation" (encoder decoder structure) is what is used everywhere in the regular semantic segmentation models, of which there are many pretrained and already available for low computing power mobile, and which would have saved the author a lot of time by bit having to hand label images, and would likely have done a better job because they were trained on gigantic datasets instead of relatively few hand labeled images.

The normal way to do this would be to use mobile net v2 with the tensorflow image detection pipeline:

Yes. The sidewalks are asphalt. Which while it does have a viscosity approaching solid it is still liquid. A motorbike left in the same spot for weeks and months at a time will leave a dent in the sidewalk.
And that's entirely their choice

However I strongly suspect you're wrong -- people choose cheaper tickets all the time, they book specific trains in advance and they travel at non-business times of the day ("off-peak"), and they choose cheaper services (say 'virgin only' from Crewe to Manchester, rather than 'any permitted')

This is good -- it allows you to make choices. Why would you want to take those choices away?
Let me for example know what the first unanswered question that comes to mind is.
Exact-change-only is certainly an annoyance, but the routes, promptness, and decent busses were always a plus-point.

If you pay too much you can get a form from the driver to claim your refund - alhtough I know almost nobody does it, and I never did the few times I was caught short of change.

(I remember before it was a flat-far, when I moved to Edinburgh in 1994 there was a sliding scale to pay for bus-journeys. Something like 50p for 1-3 stops, 60p for 1-5, etc. I remember when that changed and it became 80p for any journey and gradually crept up to £1, £1.10, £1.20, etc.)
I think the OP might be referring to allocating and managing your own stack. You could use a list in Python for this.

For what it's worth, local governments in the U.S. don't feel all that obligated. Just because something is public doesn't mean that it looks out for the little guy all that well.
Why do you need to keep more information than the invoice itself? All invoices should include the invoice recipients name and address, and thus the country of origin. In many countries invoices below a certain amount can omit the recipient, but you don't need to omit it.

Do you invoice for a different country than the recipients country? Why?

I wish this would happen in DC. The D.C. subway is grossly overpriced. All of the federal employees who take it everyday get subsidized fares. That leaves tourists and poor people to shoulder the burden of exorbitant rates. If I drive to work it costs me about $12 to park, and twenty minutes to get there. If I take the subway it costs $5 to park, and $10 round trip, plus a journey that can take up to an hour. If you live further out, it's even worse.

1. Bus passengers are not rational actors in the free market. They'll get on the first available. In routes with multiple services consumers will prefer to just buy a ticket like 'system one' in Manchester.
2. Frequency and reliability of service on a long term encourages take up. London has Overground trains run every 15 minutes regardless of user take up. Bus companies can't or won't offer service like that.
3. Bus users are poorer. Those of us who can afford to opt out of the market do so. That encourages decline. Externalities like air pollution, community access for the elderly are left to local government despite lack of political will or capital.

Essentially I believe public transport should be encouraged as a common good that pays dividends in society as a whole.

It feels like checks are barely hanging on. I started using Simple 4 years ago when I switched jobs, partly because it seemed like more and more places were posting signs that they didn't take checks. Since Simple doesn't really have checks, except ones you have them send by using the website, that seemed ok.

In the 4 years since, I've had a few instances where I needed checks. I have a plumber I like, but he isn't really a businessman, and so he wants cash or a check when he's done with work. The only tradesman I've dealt with that wasn't happy with me sending a check from Simple. He does good work though. I have some bills I pay via check, like the yearly pool membership, that I can just use Simple to send out.

I've been pretty happy to not have a check book. Especially after I had a $45 check I sent someone that got stolen from their mailbox and cashed for around $2,000 each, twice at different branches of my bank. Thankfully, I noticed within a day or two, and it was only a big hassle.
Maybe it would be better if the government gave everyone $XX/mo transit credit so the market forces remain intact. Obviously, the downside is it may no longer be free for everyone, but maybe it’s a good trade off to avoid complacency

IMO, as someone who runs a small business reliant on USPS, it's even worse than that.

Other countries like the EU and Canada like to charge an inspection fee for small packages (+ VAT)... it's usually a flat ~$15 (even if the package is worth $5). What do they do during the inspection? Calculate the VAT charge of $0.50. They don't even open the envelope.

VAT itself is bad enough... The US doesn't have VAT, and the WTO says it's illegal to put a tariff on imports to fund the US government.. but VAT, the WTO is ok with... which is an across the board tariff on every good shipping into the EU/Canada/etc. Then to tack on the "inspection fee" on top...

So not only is there a difference in shipping cost, but when it arrives at the border, their country makes it even more expensive for the customer... discouraging them from ordering from the US in the future.

The inter-banking transfer systems are a major source of oligopolization. And the barriers to entry imposed by the government are huge.

You won't get a competitive market if you don't solve those two. But it's not even clear if it would be benefic to lower the barriers to entry.
It’s a long hard reality that anyone who wants to operate in this space has to deal with.

You think it’s unfair you can’t cash your check for free and have to pay a $10 fee? Take a look at what the bank is required by the BSA and later KYC laws to do after accepting that check and understand it’s not the bank that’s the problem. It’s the onerous regulations that have literally almost halved the number of institutions able to survive.
Or, if its operated by a private company, things like prices or routes are regulated and set by the government.

Yes, and it should be this way for everything (bus routes, train lines, water, sewer, electricity, telecom, etc). The government should be the safety net, not the primary provider.
Red HYDROGEN – Final May 19th Notes
I've been using Simple for around 4 years now, and one thing I really hoped to have was a very good system for tracking and managing my money. They had a good start 4 years ago with their "envelope savings system" and goals and their web interface. It had a few warts, and was only ok, and really didn't do a very good job of categorizing the transactions. But, they were new and surely it would improve, right?

4 years later I can say it is basically unchanged. It really isn't very usable. I do still like how it implements the envelope savings towards your goals, but for managing and tracking money it really isn't useful. Mint is better for tracking.

I like Simple, but I wouldn't say I love Simple.

Single-payer transport, just like single-payer healthcare.

That said, I would like to add an anecdote to your P.S. I commute to Copenhagen, so I take a train and then a bus to reach my destination. I have a travel pass that lets me take public transport for free in a specified region. Copenhagen also has a bike sharing system, but using the bike sharing system costs money, even with a travel pass. As such, I'm incentivized to not use the bike sharing system and take the (usually crowded) bus instead.

In fact, I know of no one who uses public transport for some part of their journey, who also use the bike share. People either live within biking distance, and therefore use their own bikes (unless broken or for other reasons unavailable,) or they live far enough away that they need to take some public transport no matter what (my situation,) and then just take public transport the entire way. In the end, the bike share mostly just gets used by tourists, when it could very conveniently replace the bus for last-mile transport for many people.
I'm currently developing a web app and while my nw.js/electron version is around 50 MB and uses 200+ MB of memory, loading it in Firefox it's a 600kB bundle, fully renders in less then half a second, and uses a whopping 8 MB of memory in Firefox. Actually less the HN! So while I think this project is cool, if you consider using it, also consider making a in browser web app. Also remember that the browser is more then just a HTML renderer. You have stuff like speech recognition, text-to-speech, user input, sound api, 2d/3d api, support for a bunch of mobile sensors like accelerometer, etc.

It's not type safe, so if you change a property name it's not going to be picked up at compile time, so you'd better have tests in place for every synthesised function. (Of course, most implementations are made in dynamically typed host languages, which have this problem with every line of code.)

It's also just a limited DSL that has none of the capabilities of the host language, and can't be used to express e.g. complex queries.
