Isn't the whole point that beauty does pay the bills now, as tourism has eclipsed ranching as the most economically productive use of land in that area?
What a cool idea! The logos look great, and it is a really neat idea for a project.

You can not rely on anything the person is supposed to have with them.

I'd tell you to look into sensors on doors that alert if a button isn't pressed within the home in a short span of time (so you don't get false alarms when you or a caregiver enters - and it can't be triggered outside or with the door open).

Are you sure you guys didn't have an attacker on the loose?
There is a very clear right answer here provided you consider promotion from a clean point of view.

A promotion is a _recognition_ that you are _already_ operating at a given level. It's an acknowledgement by TPTB that you deserve a given title.

Anything less than this leads to a result where you may not actually be performing at the level the new title requires, which means you could conceivably be promoted and immediately fail to meet expectations in the new role.
Never be taken down by telecoms seems like quite a stretch, since they can filter the technology every single one of these distributed platforms rely on: TCP/IP. VPNs won't help if every node must broadcast to other nodes for the network to function, and thus giving away their identity of being a participant in whichever network.
All machines should have a big red emergency stop button, including this.
Those are good examples. Basically surveying groups of people for body language that indicates a dangerous situation might be unfolding.

By some assumed standard of morality. "Fair" tax can never be determined by tax law - only "legal" can be determined that way.
True, occlusions would be a problem but we’re taking about fake autostereoscopic 3D here, where most of the stereo rigs used for capture have but a modest baseline. Almost all of the depth perception comes from disparity, occlusions would still in fact be very visible by the averaging method I described and be at whatever depth plane of the occluder which is probably a good guess anyway. Not like your other eye would receive a correspondence from an occlusion in the real world.

No, they can't do that, but they can end the service until a new contract is signed. Which is exactly what happened.

I'm not particularly familiar with the system at Google, but at any somewhat decent tech company in order to get a promotion you have to already perform as you would in your "future" role for some time, with higher-level expectations and responsibilities.

For example, is someone with level I is up for level II promo, she/he has to match level II criteria long before actual promotion is due.
At Google, you ostensibly must have been performing at the new level for at least six months in order to get the promotion.

The span at the level lower than your performance is accommodated by an excellent bonus and stock refresh.

Sure, if space ships were impossible or too expensive to even consider, we wouldn't be planning to visit Mars; but it isn't equally valid to not visit Mars altogether as an alternative to visiting Mars, just because going to Mars is harder than going to the corner store.
They're fundamentally different from "concentration camps" though.

From Encyclopedia Britannica's article: "[Concentration camps] are also to be distinguished from refugee camps or detention and relocation centres for the temporary accommodation of large numbers of displaced persons."

People willfully breaking US law are being detained so they cannot escape further into the country. It's that simple. People cannot redefine words just to suit their political or ideological narrative.

This is simply another manufactured crisis pushed by the media and opponents of President Trump and his administration.

Where was the widespread outrage when President Obama and previous presidents detained people illegally crossing into the country? There was much less, which tells us that when people's minds are unobscured by their opposition to the Trump administration, they are able to recognize the necessity of detention centers for illegal border crossers.

People can clearly see the hypocrisy of this selective outrage. They are not buying what the outrage merchants are trying to peddle this week.

I think we're close now.

I want to predict the temporal cost of focal path movement, then optimize the stream based on those temporal "funnels" I guess you'd call them. This is in opposition to looking at segments of the screen all equally and optimizing across frame changes. I don't care about frame changes. All I care about is how fast the eyeball can get from one spot to another -- and that's finite. If I can create the image I want instantly wherever the eyeball is looking, framerate and resolution issues are a non-sequiter. (This would also probably scale to more dense displays easier, but I'm just guessing)
Hard to count that as a positive, but I see your point. Seems like it would benefit a very small group.
Interesting! How does Standuply compare to StatusHero, which seems to do about the same thing?
I agree, as long as you do out of sample testing correctly then using this as a benchmark for finding the correct transformations to perform should reduce overfitting.

That said I can see how if done incorrectly you could easily end up overfitting instead.
Yeah, that’s quite reasonable. We kind of suck at big public projects. I just wish more people wanted to fix it instead of just giving up.

I was misatakenly caught in an automated ban wave in World of Warcraft for "botting" just a couple months after joining, but as soon as a human reviewed my account I was reinstated immediately.

The automated system flagged my account a second time a few weeks later, and when I appealed they simply said that although they didn't see any evidence of rule-breaking behavior, nobody got caught by the automated system twice unless they were cheating.

I was out over $100, and I didn't even get six months to play the game. Sometimes The Machine just "knows best".

Building software, serving web pages, executing database queries, running a DOM layout, managing game logic... I mean, come on. You knew what I meant. Those are all tasks with "medium" cache residency and "occasional" stalls on DRAM. Anything that does a bunch of different things with a big-ish world of data.

Conversely: finding a task that is L1-cache-bound but does not frequently have to stall for memory is much harder. The only ones off the top of my head are streaming tasks like software video decode.
It is truly hard to comprehend that one of the most common things successful startup founders recommend is that your startup should have a blog and talk about the company and the product and the engineering, but when that gets shared suddenly it's spam and everyone is crying for blood.

Remember when this used to be a friendly startup forum full of people who liked hearing about interesting technology and how it was made?

Simple explanation: they did in fact see what you were doing and just didn't want to tell you because they don't want to teach cheaters how to evade bans. They were hoping after the first review that you would start playing by the rules.

The article describes that his former manager was terminated due to a corporate acquisition, and turned into a contract-worker from home "until after the takeover" and that manager never updated the HR system to show the article writer's contract was renewed. So, from the system's perspective, he was to be terminated on 3/1/17, and the system hadn't been told that was no longer true and so it performed it's programmed activities.
Yeah, MobX is significantly easier to reason about, even if it may have a few idiosyncrasies that make debugging more challenging. Also, performance optimization of React components is a cinch with MobX and a nightmare with Redux.

I was thinking what is the reason that Vue have more stars than React given it is not used more (perhaps in China it is). My guess would be that it's because Vue is more community driven than React. Vue is dependent only on community while React is dependent on Facebook & community. Therefore I believe Vue community share more excitement for the project.

As much as I’d like to buy into this interpretation, isn’t the fact that youtube is an ongoing developed and supported service that consideration?

As in, their consideration here is “we continue to, without any pricetag, host your videos for free on a website receiving ongoing updates and development, AND FURTHER allow you to continue to upload and store new content, despite either and both being complete deadweight cost for us?”

The consideration being the right to indefinitely add more to the platform and benefit from those updates

I am doing that already thanks, this is the backstop. Though if you have a brand/model of door sensor you used and were happy with I'd like to hear about that too.
Yes and no.

The main point of Redux is to make your state updates predictable and traceable throughout the codebase.

Sure, you can create a global object and stuff your data in there. But, if any random part of the app is allowed to modify that object at any time, then it's a lot harder to understand how your app got into a particular end situation.

Redux is based on the "Flux Architecture" concept, and asks you to follow restrictions on how you structure your logic. Only certain functions are allowed to update the state, and in order to run that logic, you create plain JS objects called "actions" that describe some event or update that needs to occur, and ask the update logic to determine the new state values in response.

This adds a level of indirection to your code, but it provides a way to log and trace when, where, why, and how a given piece of state got updated.

If you've got about 45 minutes, I did a "Redux Fundamentals" presentation at Reactathon a few months ago that walks through the basic principles of Redux. Here's a link to the video and the slides:

Agreed. That's how every other claim against an estate works.
Yes, they're a different animal from the past, but they are the new norm as software becomes a primary competitive advantage in all industries. We don't need to subvert the idea of startup to describe this: tech company does just fine. A startup is something that's starting, it's right there in the title, it completely neuters the word of all meaning to apply it to decades-old multi-billion dollar companies.
which other educational channels have youtube shut down?
Actually, Salmon's summary of the predicates for wire fraud is spot-on. The data support this, and my anecdata support this. Seeing is believing.

The jury instructions serve no purpose other than to frustrate jurors, and frustrated jurors (especially those that survive the venire) tend to convict. Sometimes the ends justify the means, and sometimes not.

I'd like to see your source for "multiple mitigating factors for 'intent to defraud'", because other than a good-faith instruction, which is optional and the judge and prosecutor will fight to keep out, there aren't any in any model jury instruction I've read (and I've read many of them, multiple times). I really hope you have one, because in case I need to file a 2255, a missed jury instruction might help.
There's more stuff like this happening these days. Saw this tweet yesterday:

Can you explain what you mean by "perf optimization is a nightmare with Redux" ? Generally, Redux helps improve performance in a React app, especially as you connect more components.

So Google is clearly violating their motto?
there is no contentious forking if it's true decentralization. But this is more of a thing if governments would participate and run nodes along with anyone that would like to attest too.

I don't believe in the saying that you need a problem to be solved. For sure the country I live in now cannot lookup easily what other real estate properties I own in every part of the world. All governments would need to select a distributed database and encode everything on it. Well this is now called Ethereum or insert your favorite platform here and they will develop on it because the technology makes it easy.
So, reprogramming how your brain works is 'super simple'??
The difference between two images can be non-lossy, if you like.

> partially-transparent or glossy surfaces.

It's all just RGB values; there is no gloss or transparency in an image. (Image layers can have transparency for compositing, but that's obviously something else.)

If audio encoding can have "joint stereo", why not visual coding.

Many areas of a stereo image are nearly identical, like the distant background.
> I realized that there is no pleading or reasoning with The Machine.

Weapons of Math Destruction was one of the most eye opening books I read recently. It's all about how Machines when set up with self-reinforcing models can become a real big problem.

And how the fact nobody quite understands how The Machine makes decisions isn't helping either.
By default, both Firefox and Chrome use the ANGLE layer to render WebGL draw calls under Windows. ANGLE is an implementation of the OpenGL ES 2.0 specification that is hardware-accelerated via Direct3D 9. So native OpenGL is not even used on Windows.

It might be fun to exercise this method across an information-theoretic well-bounded set of shapes or object domains to try to quantify its limitations in generating useful independent forms of novelty.

For example, you might use it to formulate a set of wavelets that when combined judiciously would effectively span a well-defined distribution of shapes generated from a small grammar. In so doing, you could quantify the shape variance and identify which augmentation transformations added most value for training (minimally modeling that variance) and which added least.

Maybe you could also combine this with t-SNE to gain some intuition of which 'wavelet' manifested where in the trained net, which resonated most, and in concert with which other wavelets. You could explore this across different CNN sizes and designs, looking for evidence of wavelet ensemble or hierarchy.

With some careful engineering, you could try to force emergent autoencoders to reveal themselves and then explore their interactions.
I don't see when this article was published but it seems outdated. The team is using MEAP[1] which links to a wiki page listing technologies including YUI that are no longer maintened and was built on MonoCross[2] which doesn't appear to be maintained either. This was obviously a large endeavor to take on so I wonder how the team is dealing with this.

How does video encoding like H.264 handle parts of a scene that are occluded in one frame, but not occluded in the next frame?

A three inch difference between two cameras producing simultaneous frames is similar to a three inch sideways step of one camera in time between two frames.
