You dont have to participate in the holidays though. If you charge a tax on an exempt item during the holidays then you just have to remit the tax. No system changes required.
I’d rather have a neoclassical or neogothic or Art Deco facade with a standard building behind it than totally surrender to the soulless garbage that passes for “modern” architecture in cities.

I have read somewhere that the general public actually prefers the older styles, but that architects prefer modern styles. I’ll see if I can find the source.
Unless those from worse families are told constantly that the only way they can make it in life is to graduate from college.
I mean, someone with a CS degree that has good creativity, patience and curiosity is likely to perform well too. These days, the degree gives you a common language and some foundational stuff (algorithms and data structures). 99% of the people I work with have CS degrees, but the other 1% aren't defined by their lack of a degree, they are defined by their ability to learn the language on their own time and that's valuable.
Wrong. You'd move to New Hampshire if this was true.
Any company that cares about ASC 606 isn't reporting taxes on a cash basis anyway. They report on an accrual basis which has little to do with when customers pay.
No you just have to remit the tax.
And now we just need someone to tell us what that good outcome is we should be moving toward.

Yep. Subscribe to the “morning paper” too. Nothing like sipping coffee, reading about generative adversarial networks, then going to work and building web apps all day.
> Apple's goal may be to remove all ports entirely.

> Apple may be working towards an iPhone that is devoid of all buttons and ports, and is completely wireless.

Seems like an attempt at a foolish purity to me, and user-hostile to boot. Eliminating all ports means charging your phone in a pinch or one the go will be harder. Say goodbye to emergency USB battery backs; and say hello to awkwardly balancing your nearly-dead phone on a charging pad an airport hallway, starting at it while it charges.

If Apple goes through with this, I predict we'll see iPhone cases that incorporate a USB-C port and an integrated wireless charging pad. They'll be ugly, awkward, but very popular.

The model [1] GP alludes to claims that competition forces small governments to provide better (more efficient, more optimally chosen, etc) local services than monopoly governments, for the same reasons that competitive companies are expected to provide better services at a lower price.

Exactly. If the goal is parity with B&M stores, then little vendors will be required to match all the locale taxes as well.

I think we are nearing the point where someone will come up with a solid format storing bytes, in known encoding, for a quite long time. The incentives are certainly in place - libraries specializing in data storage (e.g for hollywood film master copies, etc), are to my understanding spending a considerable buck in updating theis storage scheme every so few years. Despite how many megahours of youtube data gets uploaded daily, I'm fairly sure there is a market for relatively low capacity but longterm viable storage once someone invents it.
You are misinterpreting the sentence. Most people's exhaustive testing regimen is to try something a few times, shrug, and say "works for me". Not necessarily for file systems, but for a lot of software issues. When I wrote that sentence, I was entertained by the somewhat casual "retried this 500,000 times just to see" attitude.
Another thing about some form of linguistic analysis being the final form of philosophy is that another form of linguistic analysis, that of Wittgenstein, predates Postmodernism by 50 years.

In addition that Existentialism is after Wittgenstein's take on a analysis. Existentialism attempts to answer the questions that we care about such as how we live our lives and our own values.

Existential philosophy is also, in part, very readable opposed to the great difficulty of reading Postmodernism.

CBRS is interesting, but there isnt a ton of spectrum available (80-150Mhz, depending on how you count it). Its also of sufficiently high frequency (3.55-3.70 GHz), that building penetration should be close to zero. Some interesting applications might come from it, but it shouldn't vastly change the game compared to what can be done with 2.4 & 5GHz unlicensed frequencies now.

If you can file a complaint, a few of my friends already filed a complaint with their local EU anti-trust and consumer protection agencies.

As you said they were quite annoyed that an account that they’ve spent a lot of time and also money on is now essentially locked out and irreversibly so without any warning or consent.
I recently signed up with Consumer Cellular after being with AT&T for many, many years. So far I'm very happy with them.

That seems like overly 'business' thinking. People as numbers. While necessary on some level. I've found the best performers don't work any specific number of hours, but actually employ a 'chop smarter, not harder' mentality.

Some of my best people work a 30 solid ( dense ) hour week. Those are heads down, no distraction hours. No Facebook, no podcasts, just technical design and code. I don't enforce it, they just do it on their own. As long as they deliver, I want them out of the office, into the gym, outside, whatever the fuck they want, so they don't burn out.

And I'm happy with it because they always stretch and deliver, on time. And their code is tight, thoughtful and consequently maintainable.

As for finding people who exhibit those qualities. I ask them to solve a problem and see how their mind works. If it's thorough, thinking about error handling, documentation, etc., then that's a winner. I then use their Github code to determine seniority and go from there.

Ironically those with the most hunger and passion to learn and excel did not go to top-tier schools. It doesn't take much to figure out why.
The distributor will only take the empty ones that resemble the type he delivers => this is a supply chain.

That’s why you can’t just return any type of reusable bottles at a store, but just the ones it is also selling.

It's never going to be fair, since online shops don't have physical plant costs (as an example). Are you going to penalize them for that too and make them pay a phantom imputed presence tax? That's why fairness is the wrong path to go down.
Ask HN: What does it really mean to do ML/DL at the hobbyist/research levels?
I have taken a few ML/DL courses (college, Coursera, Udacity) and have implemented a bunch of models (SVM, KNN, Neural Network, etc) from scratch. I learned some tensorflow and made a CNN, RNN, and even a GAN for generating human faces (Udacity Course). I do hardware/firmware design professionally but i dabble with software and machine learning as a hobby.

I liked the courses where math was a huge focus because it allowed me to understand from first principles.

When i took the Udacity course it was just learning the tensorflow library for the most of it. Conceptually i understood CNNs and RNNs but i couldn't implement it from scratch because i didn't truly understand it. I could maybe implement the forward propogation for RNNs but didn't understand the nuance of the backprop.

I ended up basically just understanding the tensorflow library, which is still useful and powerful. But that left me wondering why do people who do this for research and hobby really do?

I highly doubt researchers are spending their time re-inventing the wheel to implement their own basic CNN or RNN model, but they obviously are doing more than just function calls to a set library right?

What should i be trying to learn if i am a hobbyist wanting to really understand ML/DL? Is implementing theses advanced DL models from scratch even useful? What steps do i take to become "better" at ML/DL rather than just following the tutorials and courses that taught me how to use the tensorflow library to create basic RNNs/GANs?

When people say they are "better" at ML/DL than they were before does that just mean they have a better intuition for what model, how many layers, how much dropout, batch sizes, etc to use for a certain problem?

I feel lame just piecing together models with high level code like `keras.add_fully_connected(layer_size)` or `tf.MultiCellRNN`. It feels like cheating because i'm just throwing things together and seeing what works. The science aspect feels lost.
Death-of-the-disk stories usually have to deal with price. But, if you drive the density north far enough, at the price per GB level I think this may no longer be an issue.

Simplistic price (bought price) vs power budget, speed, retention time/replacement time, all gets very complicated.

I haven't had a (company) laptop in three rounds with spinning disk. I replaced my @home with an SSD in the last pre-tax-claim spend cycle. I still buy commodity USB drives to be the disks for rPI small devices, but I am beginning to wonder how long that will sustain?

The floppy->semi-floppy->USBdrive story had a longish arc, but at a lower level of penetration. Once the hardshell floppy appeared, the larger units died out pretty quickly, and once USB bootable became ubiquitious, boot floppies ceased to inform my life pretty quickly, and now with RAC and iDRAC cards, I barely touch boot media either (admittedly, the RAC card has an SD and I write "images" to it in ISO format but I keep wondering how long boot media will depend on emulating a spinning CD/DVD drive.

TL;DR This feels like right size, right time. If the spec for the backplane is good, I'd like to see this baked and shipped in other vendors. Goodbye spinning metal?
The same can be said here in the US.

To add to the other answers here, Electron recently switched to an approach to semver where major dependencies (in this both Node and Chromium) are always considered themselves a semver major/breaking change. This aligns with Node's similar, less recent switch to semver major for all V8 upgrades.

The biggest breaking changes here are very much that Chromium and Node were both upgraded. These are particularly breaking changes if you are using and/or building native Node libraries.

Skimming through the rest I didn't see anything that directly impacted any of the apps that I've worked on or any of the tutorials I've seen.

However, since there was a significant form of textual analysis that predates Postmodernism it shows that forms of textual analysis have had later philosophical movements.

It also shows that Postmodernism itself is the second form of textual analysis in recent times which indicates that it is unlikely to be the final form of philosophy.

The other point about Postmodernism is that while texts are meant to be reinterpreted in any way the reality is that shallow readings of who the author was and what they like to do in the bedroom has been the primary result.
I think Amazon will figure out a way to make things good for the end customer.

- They already collect taxes properly for all cities and counties for everything THEY SELL.
- They already calculate/collect/remit sales taxes for all orders(including merchant orders) shipped to Washington && Pennsylvania && Ohlahoma.

For other states, they can fairly easily take on this burden if it benefits the customer.
For fairness sake, quote from the same post (Dawkins changed his mind by 2012):

"So you can think of the protein-coding genes as being sort of the toolbox of subroutines which is pretty much common to all mammals -- mice and men have the same number, roughly speaking, of protein-coding genes and that's always been a bit of a blow to self-esteem of humanity. But the point is that that was just the subroutines that are called into being; the program that's calling them into action is the rest [of the genome] which had previously been written off as junk."

This makes sense to me (as a programmer :). But I wonder if someone managed to figure out the language in which the "caller" code is written. How does it say: call subroutine at position X, then if (condition), call subroutine at position Y, etc... I was not able to find any info on this.
Apparently there was a study related to this this recently.

As crazy as it sounds, I think I managed my gaming time by actually designing my own because the games i have been playing never satisfy me.

I usually get bored pretty easily, and there are no games that can really make me play for a long enough time because there is something that frustrates me about the game mechanics.

It's actually very satisfying to think about game design as a programmer, and to spot what can be improved in games i like so i might better enjoy playing and sharing them in the future.
"The market might not be fit to decide what education is worthwhile, but it will certainly figure out what degrees are lucrative."

This isn’t the same thing exactly.

You can buy items in the game on the PC play it on multiple platforms but as soon as you log into the game on a PS4 the account will be locked to that system as far as consoles go.

There is no warnning, there is no way to reverse this and they essentially lock you out out of your own account.

Apple wanted a cut that Amazon didn’t want to give but they didn’t not block you from using the Kindle app on an iPhone nor did they locked out the books from being accessible on other platforms once you’ve opened them on your phone.

Not even Apple is that stupid.

Also even if Apple did block books purchased outside of their platform that would still would not be comparable as they did not forcibly locked you out of content you’ve already owned on all other platforms.

I would be Ok if Sony and Epic made a deal that items purchased from the PSN store would be unavailable else where but locking your account because you logged in even once and didn’t play the game or even bought an item is just bullshit.

I should add to this that this isn’t even only Fortnite as this is on the Epic account level so if you played previous Epic games on your PS4 your account is locked out by default.

A friend of mine had his Fortnite account locked out because they played the Paragon beta on their PS4 like 2 years ago.
They don’t even own a PS4 anymore and never played Fortnite on it.
How to break up with an investor
They have in SF, too. It's because of pressure by NIMBYs. But it's not like this loophole is new. The trick has been used for decades and it's almost standard operating procedure for low-budget "new" construction.

It's a polite fiction that has persisted because planning commissions aren't oblivious to the problems. But they're beholden to the political power of NIMBYs. The hack operated as a safety value that gave commissions plausible deniability when NIMBYs bring their pitchforks and torches. Once its gone it'll push the cost of newer development further beyond the reach of small-time developers and homeowners, and there'll be even less of the so-called missing middle housing coming online. It'll hasten the trend to large, more upscale developments.

That said, I'm dubious the loophole will go away anytime soon. The entire system would seize up and so I expect municipalities to keep deflecting as long as they can.

I'm not defending the practice. But such absurdities are inevitable when communities push for policies completely at odds with economic realities.
I never said he was rude!

I found the articles on the "middlebrow dismissal" insightful. And I don't think ends usually justify means; I think the parent-most comment was not as nice as it should have been.

The parent comment is not so much a put-down as much as it calls out a particularly unsophisticated dismissal. The parent-most comment would have elicited the same useful information if it were phrased as a question, but would have been less uncouth. I think that's a perfectly fine thing to write a comment about.

Yes this is correct. In fact even without a paid subscription you can access all files that have been added to a Slack through the web UI (myslack.slack.com/files). You can't see the related messages, but all the files (images, snippets, etc) are available as one big list.
Also we have nothing at all like the Pfand system. I pay for the privilege to have recycling taken away, not the other way around. What Germany has is awesome.
Right now there's very little around the US that's in the middle. On the one hand there's urban areas with no parking-minimums, mixed-use zoning, and cramped development. On the other is suburban and rural areas where there are strict parking minimums and single-family homes everywhere.

A more reasonable way to develop a city would be to have a cramped, urban core where everything is well connected, has low parking minimums, and minimal zoning restrictions, surrounded by areas of gradually decreasing density, and holding parking in "rings" around these areas. In my mind, I'd like to organize the city in these rings: walkable, bikable, short-drive/suburban, long-drive/rural.

The big issue is the US has made up-zoning impossible. There are no mandatory zoning changes as people move to an area, or anything of that nature. Add to this that many American homeowners derive a significant portion of their equity from their house value and you have a situation where it is very difficult for any area of the US to expand to accommodate to an influx of population.
It's absolutely excellent way to frame the problem.
Note that 2U box needs something like 250gbit internal bus just for disk IO, assuming you wanted the full throughput of every drive.. there is a huge trade off in terms of processing capability and networking bandwidth putting so much disk in a single box, the rest of the hardware can't cope with it.

These things look useful only if a tiny fraction of the stored data is hot, I imagine lower density that provides more flexibility in terms of processing room on the box, and networking around the box is probably a better option in a lot of cases.

Been pondering these devices for the past 10 minutes or so, can't think of a use for them except elaborate storage servers.
That would be true if this was actually a number, not a percentage. To take a hyperbolic example, there could be 100x more startups at 0-2 years right now than in '85 and 100,000x aged 2-4 years; you'd still see a percentage decline in the former and we'd be pretty far from "the startup disappearing."
