"Bringing down Apple may benefit nobody, but there is no longer any reason for Americans to care about the success of American businesses since they don’t share in the prosperity."

Precisely. Many Fortune 100 US companies took the vast majority of their tax windfall/oversea cash and bought back the stock. Before you say most Americans own 401K's and have benefited from this - the relative increase in 401K's is dwarfed by the increase in housing prices and general inflation. Most Americans have experience single digit wage growth since the early 1980s, while the cost of pretty much everything has increased by double digits.

Most Americans are worse off today (from an earnings standpoint once you normalize it for inflation and purchasing power) than they were 30 years ago.
> Personally, I look up to Netherlands, one of the happiest countries on Earth, where many women work just part-time.

As a Dutch person: this stereotype needs to stop. The Netherlands is a country like any other, with big problems and defenitely not the happiest people on earth. The Many women work part-time here because the tax is so high due to corruption its not rewarding to actually work. Last year suicide was the most common cause of death among people between 20 and 40 years.
The Netherlands is the country where most drugs worldwide are made, transported and used. XTC is the biggest export of this country, which leads to high criminality and assassinations on the streets.

It's a nice example of how how to think critically as you read an article - even a decent quality article.

To your point - I agree. Taubes is a technical guy - I've read a couple of his books and I think there is a lot of truth to what he says, just maybe one of those situations where it's not the whole truth in a horizontal way.

* Automated injury detection. You've got a warehouse, you've got cameras, now you've got an instant alert when one of your workers appears to be injured but out of sight of other workers. You've got street cameras, now you've got automatic detection of someone having a heart attack and laying down on a sidewalk. (Dystopian application: "homeless person detected, deploying zap-drones") Hospitals and old folks' homes could use this, too.

* Lifeguard Assist programs - automatic detection of drowning-like behaviors. (Of course, over-reliance on this would be bad...)

I would think (hope) that it's a vocal minority. If you have mixed or no feelings about a company there's no reason to say anything, you only say something if you have very positive feelings or very negative feelings, and in the current day positive isn't cool, so the default is negative.

You didn't mention tiling.

> If a 5120 pixel Radius is fine... then Radius of sphere = 2 pi * r, and Surface of sphere is 4/3 pi * r^2. so 5120 / 2pi =r => 4/3 * (5120/2pi)^2 => (5120)^2 /(3 pi) ~= we need ~10% of 5280^2.

That's something I will definitely use soon! Great simple idea indeed. Just one question regarding the criteria to come up with the current pricing tiers: isn't it a bit too expensive for an one-off scheduling?

In general I agree with you, but our company is very "consistency" heavy. So someone high up has to make a decision: which framework to adopt, because once that decision is made, it's sticking for a long time.

And sadly I don't think developer happiness & satisfaction are real concerns for a company that knows how to make money.
> The entire discussion is about railway programming for early exit on error handling. So yeah, there are dependencies there.

"Early" does not have anything to do with "dependency". You can do a million unrelated things in an order of your choice and abort at the first error. There need not be any dependencies.

This is true and totally unrelated to my point.

> No. I'm pointing out you pattern matched against a generic 2-tuple in your pseudocode.

Again, it's pseudo-code, so no, it need not be a "generic 2-tuple", not even needs to be a "tuple" (whatever that means in a given PL). In a real implementation the types are known precisely (Just like the types of the alternatives in an ADT are known precisely). There is no kind of "matching" (there are no conditionals) whatsoever. s1 and s2 are simply two variables (for example pointers, in C) of precisely known type. And the process_data() function returns two values that get assigned to the variables. It's the simplest kind of code.

The whole point of the discussion was whether to design the output as a single stream of ADT values, or as multiple streams of precisely known values. In this context it's totally clear why my (single) assignment to s1 and s2 is not the "matching" that you need to do on the (many) values of the single stream in the ADT version. Really I don't care how hard you want this assignment to s1 and s2 to be a matching/destructuring of a "tuple"; It doesn't change anything and is totally unrelated to my point.

Sorry to call you "dude". I had already decided to remove that word before reading your answer.
> Bringing down Apple may benefit nobody, but there is no longer any reason for most Americans to care about the success of American businesses since they can’t share in the prosperity.

Any American can invest in American companies. And even if they do not, they benefit from the taxes the companies pay. (And yes, they do pay their taxes -- they pay a whole lot of taxes.)
And I say: bring on the utilitarianists. I'm tired of endless studies and safety precautions that different bureaucracies have put into place. For example: I want experimental life-saving drugs to be available to willing patients faster than what the FDA will bother to allow.

For Kansas I came up with Rexford(north west KS) is closest to Aurora (pop 345k, 219Mi away), there are 23k people within 50 miles of Rexford. Rexford does have I70 running through it.

Quick edit, it's 4pi r I was thinking volume for a second there.

As to tiling, I am saying if cut a sphere into 5120 slices, and the middle slice is fine with 5120 pixels. Then the poles are going to have ~1 pixel on them. How you tile them is really a question of tradeoffs.

Exactly. Throw something at it the system should stop for (e.g. a child). If it doesn't, go back to the drawing board and figure out why.

> I expect within 2-3 years Vue and React will be on far more equal footing in terms of usage and jobs.

I don't think this is true, primarily because of the number of large companies getting behind React and contributing to the ecosystem. Also, the difference between Angular and React is much larger (IMO) than the difference between React and Vue, which means there is less incentive to move to Vue if you already know React because the latter is Good Enough™.
> I guess I am saying this seems to be straightforwardly false to me, to a huge huge degree

Why?

> It seems we just believe very strongly in positions that are completely and diametrically opposite to each other, so we are unlikely to find productive communication on a message board about it.

I mean, if you're not willing to explaining your reasoning, then yes I suppose that's true. Although I think part of why you may feel that way is that, based on one of your earlier comments, you seem to think I'm some kind of libertarian who's just generally opposed to regulation. I'm not; if anything I'm more of a social democrat. I just think that in this particular case, things are different from normal for a new, potentially dangerous technology.

My reasoning on the above point is fairly simple and straightforward:

1. The status quo for SDC development has been relatively minimal regulation. Even California mostly just makes companies report some basic data.

2. Most companies seem to be taking safety very seriously as it is, such that injuries and deaths have been rare. Only one death, and from a company widely acknowledged as ethically-challenged.

3. Given 2, it seems like the number of deaths that you'd avoid with greater regulation is very low, simply because, well, very few people are dying as it is.

4. Conversely, letting humans drive cars has resulted in an enormous number of people dying each year.

5. Given 3 and 4, slowing down SDC development with greater regulation seems likely to indirectly kill many, many more people than the status quo of minimally-regulated development will kill.

Are you expecting Waymo to, any day now, start rampaging around cities and killing people by the dozens? What does the scenario look like where SDC development kills more people than human drivers currently kill? You didn't address my analogy with disease outbreaks; why not?

You've done a good job arguing for the importance of regulation in general. You haven't done a good job arguing for why you think greater regulation in this particular scenario will avoid killing more people than the current setup kills.
If you barely understand what Webpack is then you probably aren't in a good position to argue for or against it's usage. You do need Babel if you intend to use newer JavaScript features but still have to support older browsers or even many mobile browsers. If you're only writing with ES5 features then you don't need any transpilation but many people want to use the new features available in newer versions of JavaScript/ECMAScript.

Webpack is great for, among other things, combining your code into single packages instead of including many script tags. It's also useful for optimizing the output of your build in various ways which makes it very valuable for large-scale applications.

No one I work with has ever even brought up the possibility of switching from React to Vue, let alone counting Github stars.

Compare to when React came out, it was immediate consensus that we need to switch from Backbone to React. When Angular gained popularity, we did not have an urge to switch because it felt unclear what the scope and direction of Angular actually was.

React (really JSX) solves the single problem of making HTML a part of JavaScript. For me, it's game over, they have solved the problem or came close enough to where I'm comfortable staying in the React ecosystem for the rest of my career.

With React there's no weird "v-if ng-if" template logic that you have to grapple with. To me, Handlebars already gave me enough taste of how horrible and limiting maintaining template logic outside of components is.

Just my take. No desire to even download Vue and try it out, I don't foresee any productivity gains from it.
I think you should draw a diagram and link it.

In the former case you're assuming houses are for living in. That's a human perspective (and one I share) but the capitalist perspective is that houses are stored value and can be even more valuable if they're empty and well guarded. They become another sort of bitcoin, but backed by the reality of tangible property.
It's a reasonable expectation that a framework with more users will have more documentation, more examples, more contributions from the community, etc. While I agree that a developer should choose based on what will make them most productive and happy, popularity is still an important factor.

When comparing 2 or more frameworks or libraries to use, I always check out the github repo and look at the number of stars. I don't see a problem with this article pointing out that this metric may not be the best indicator of usage.

Yes it's the right word. Stripe is a startup

"A startup is a company designed to grow fast. Being newly founded does not in itself make a company a startup. Nor is it necessary for a startup to work on technology, or take venture funding, or have some sort of "exit." The only essential thing is growth. Everything else we associate with startups follows from growth."

Hmm, now that I look it up, I guess he is still involved. Like I can be bothered to care, as 2.0 was announced in 2009 as 90% complete. Nine years later, there's still no release version. I've moved on, and I imagine a large portion of the user base has done the same. I kinda forgot Textmate even existed until this popped up this morning.
PG definition is a shitty definition. Many public and private businesses you ask will tell you their number one priority is growth. Startup by the literal name being used means a relatively new company. If you want to differentiate among the general public use "tech startup" instead.
I'm not saying autonomous vehicles will be perfect. I'm just saying they'll be better than humans. Which isn't exactly a high bar.

As for drunk drivers navigating around that car? There's an intersection a couple of miles from my house that has a stoplight. Southbound traffic is approaching from highway speeds, climbs over a hill, hits a 40mph zone, then the stoplight is a couple hundred meters. There have been multiple fatal collisions there by, well, drunk drivers, slamming into cars stopped at the red light at highway speeds (or faster). I'm terrified any time I'm stuck at that light after dark, especially on weekends.

Of course, an autonomous car would detect the speed zone change and the red light.
It makes sense that YouTube would do this. I've been expecting YouTube to go after channels that are primarily supported by Patreon donations with full teeth and claws for awhile now, and still expect it is coming. Channels not running ads reduced YouTube to a free video hosting service and cuts them out of the revenue loop completely. Their main goal, as I see it, is to transition into a centralized and much more controlled content platform run much more like a traditional TV network used to be. This will enable them to achieve Eric Schmidt's stated goal of taking the reins of human culture to protect the poor from themselves (which he states, though not in those words, in his book 'The New Digital Age'). They also think it makes them more attractive to advertisers (although there is abundant proof now that no 'adpocalypse' ever occurred and YouTube has only grown as an advertising platform... they see this as 'in spite of' niche content being present, not 'because of').

So if there are large channels that have milquetoast content that is non-controversial (for now, it won't take long before all educational content beyond elementary school level is de facto controversial) but aren't monetized, that really leaves YouTube out in the cold. Paying the hosting costs AND they don't have any increased leverage to regulate those channels contents? Worst case scenario as far as they're concerned... but they also don't want that content hopping to a different platform. Google didn't run YouTube at a staggering loss for a decade for nothing, they did it to suppress competition in the video space and guarantee no one could afford to compete with them unless they also had a search engine advertising business that could prop up the titanic losses.
Gradient boosting machines (GBMs) are currently very popular and so it's a good idea for machine learning practitioners to understand how GBMs work. The problem is that understanding all of the mathematical machinery is tricky and, unfortunately, these details are needed to tune the hyper-parameters. (Tuning the hyper-parameters is required to get a decent GBM model unlike, say, Random Forests.) Our goal in this article is to explain the intuition behind gradient boosting, provide visualizations for model construction, explain the mathematics as simply as possible, and answer thorny questions such as why GBM is performing “gradient descent in function space.” We've split the discussion into three morsels and a FAQ for easier digestion.

No, Exynos has the same block limit as the snapdragon chips -- 4k60. The difference is that Exynos doesn't have the same 4096 maximum dimension limit, so it can do 5120x2560 (monoscopic) at 30 fps, while snapdragon can only decode 4096x2560 at 30 fps. The view dependent player is about playing 5120x5120 (stereo) at 60 fps.
