The idea of tolling roads may work well in areas with high traffic volumes. However, what about rural areas that may only see a couple thousand vehicles a day? Take a state like Montana for example. We have a few urban areas and a huge amount of rural roads. Even parts of the interstate have an annual average daily traffic (AADT) of less than 4,000 vehicles a day (I-15 near the Montana/Idaho border). [1] If these were toll roads, the toll would either have to be too expensive or it would never actually pay for itself.

I think you missed a big chunk of the OP's comment, if an average wage in the US is 60k then stealing 1m would be a sentence of 16 years 100m would be a 1600 year sentence by following the logic.

It would be nice from the perspective of reducing the incomprehensibility from white collar crimes that net hundreds of millions of dollars though I'd be concerned about false charges... well, I'm generally concerned about false charges so we just need to fix our justice system, then such a scaling might make good sense.

Just to briefly note, these crimes aren't victimless, people who pull these sorts of stunts are taking money out of someone's pocket, usually fraudulent stock maneuvers will end up negatively impacting retirement mutual funds, sometimes other white-collar crimes may be more impactful, prematurely issuing foreclosures deprives people of their household. In the former case the damage is spread around and less horrific feeling, but both are terrible.
Why do you think TensorFlow is a subset of general purpose computing? What do you think what is missing?
I think nothing is really missing, only that it's maybe more difficult to perform certain kind of tasks. But compared to Matlab/Octave, I don't really see much lacking (in the platform). I would even say the opposite, that the Matlab/Octave platform seems to me like a subset of what TensorFlow offers.
Not sure about Linux but the surface book 2 is a really good one.
Your response kinda makes the point the article was trying to make.
1 - chase will require a personal guarantee, what that means is that you’re personally responsible for the credit card. Your ssn is on the line. With Brex, we underwrite your company.

2 - our credit algorithm is actually very different and the limit changes according to your bank balances.

3 - it’s actually a credit card (technically a charge card), so it has all the protections of a standard credit card, people dont have access directly to your balance like a debit card.

Does that make sense?
I don't know about tensor flow in particular but are little-known methods of running "general purpose" parallel programs on GPUs. Specifically, H. Dietz' MOG, "Mimd on GPU". It's a shame the project hasn't gotten more attention imo.

It's not just millenials in this case. I am an GenX-er with a wife and two kids. We are planning to switch to a mail order pharmacy (Pill Pack or Costco -- dependent on cost) in the near future. My wife, one of our daughters, and our dog (on a human med) taking regular meds. Even being a 5 minute drive from a brick and mortar pharmacy, and it is still a PIA. None of the scripts are on the same schedule so we make multiple trips. Inevitably, you get in line behind someone with a refill or insurance issue turning a quick pick into a 20 minute wait. A service that syncs up script refill schedules and works with doctors and insurance companies on refills renewals is a massive time saver and stress reducer.
What do you mean by "TensorFlow is a subset of general purpose computing, and thus will always be limited to niches"? It's not clear to me at all what one could mean by this. Doesn't TensorFlow have to use matrix math deep down (just like any other digital computing system)?

I have personally used Linux on the desktop and the server for many years. I know many other engineers who have also done this, and we've compared notes extensively on the topic. Sadly, this anecdote is not an anomaly, but a fully typical example of the broad experience.

It is, if anything, a rather too mild example of the general class.

I have no problem sending arbitrary images to my friends on both iPhone and Android platforms, over a number of different protocols including SMS. What's the problem?

"Shared emoticons" sounds like what you really want is a way to channel community defined imagery into a palette of images. There are in fact ways to do that now, usually called "stickers".

I'd never want just anyone to be able to define new Unicode targets. We'd soon be overrun with Ricks because idiots.
I think a lot of the headaches could be avoided by zoning in ways that allow for density improvements to occur. We can't just build every new city as a planned green city too (i.e. Masdar City).

I think it would be beneficial if there was some kind of standard at a state level for not just building codes but zone codes. It would also be nice if there was some kind of zoning and code for underground, so lower levels could be built as density increased (i.e. Lower Wacker in Chicago[0]) to allow vehicles to still park and travel but allow the buildings to narrow on the upper street. It would then also provide a separation of humans and cars which would help for safety. [2]

That also would allow for the potential building of middle-ground assets that are much more affordable like the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel to allow for BRT/Light Rail. [1]

What outcome? You think enforcing border security and enacting a travel ban on countries identified by the Obama administration as terrorist threats somehow shows racism was a significant part of Trump's election?

Those are common sense policies for most people and have nothing to do with racism. Law, order and regimented immigration processes are not racist, though people who want open borders for the express purpose of "making America brown" most definitely are racist. You should check your biases.

Maybe Clinton was just a terrible candidate and Trump was on the right side of many policy issues? No, that couldn't be the case at all. Must be the racism.

I think the point was "you can't force a population to use a limited set of symbols [that can't be used to express an arbitrary idea]".
I phrased it awkwardly, what I could've written was

"ocaml has a healthy module system and lots of module authors and maintainers and recent developments suggest ocaml the language continues to move towards more safety and more modern, convenient features."

Linear types are HUGE imo. I'll be playing with ocaml a lot when those comes out. I can't wait to see how far ocaml wants to chase other languages into the memory safety/ correctness rabbit hole. It's great.

In which case doesn't the word become entirely pointless because everyone alive is privileged? The discussion then can only happen when comparing the amount of privilege between two people, which becomes almost entirely subjective since it involves comparing different privileges and deciding some sort order. The subjectivity is even worse when we look at the intersection of different privileges. And what of the privileges which we don't even consider to measure, or which the lack of such privilege is socially taboo to call out the lack of?

I feel like we need some formal calculus to discuss privilege, which to my knowledge doesn't exist.
I think you mean "might be".

There's a passage on the subject in Knuth volume 2. Even Knuth needs to test and debug his code, no matter what how good he thought the results "would be". And his conclusion: Use a mathematical foundation for a PRNG, nothing else will do.

So it is not a hashmap anymore? Or in addition to the hashmap, it stores the insertion index? I wonder if it is a good idea to have this part of the language spec, as they might want to use a faster (non-deterministic) implementation later at some point, which would then break again lots of code.
The statement is true for many teams in the best tech companies.

Many of the "crappy" companies do look for "X programmers" even when there is no need, just because of the tech they are currently working on at that specific point in time. Even when they are large (especially when they are large, it would seem).
To add to this, when you want to go against the grain, you can quite easily, at the core, it's mapping HTTP requests to python functions. Outside of middleware, it's trivial to strip all unnecessary additions.

That certainly did happen. In fact, I would say its quite necessary for growing startups to continually hire people with more management experience than anyone else in the company. There isn't a sense of ego associated with that. Many of them are really just excited to be on this mission together.
Which means that the question isn't whether USB-C is a regression over MagSafe or not, it's whether you belong to Apple's core market segment and fit into Apple's core product strategy, which holds that the word "regression" is simply not part of the vocabulary used in the conversation revolving around Apple's products

Yes, this.

It's odd though, the apple ecosystem has "always worked" if you stuck with it, where linux and windows have needed various amounts of firtling (customising your workspace, switching etc)

People who plug in perhiphials seem to be against what I understood apple's view to be. I guess they want those of us who just have a laptop and don't connect anything up to be using ipads instead (perhaps that explains their choice to downgrade the keyboard --- you either dock into a fixed workstation with a decent keyboard, or you use a touchscreen. Eventually I wouldn't be surprised if the keyboard is completely removed from apple laptops. And we'll all be shocked. )
You've basically just described a libertarian economic philosophy. We can have an intelligent conversation about whether that's a good idea or not, but it's a very serious political philosophy that lots of very intelligent people subscribe to...
That doesn't follow. It's easy to follow the law, but because a lot of companies were doing things that were against the law, and given that a lot of companies put things off til the last minute, it took a lot of work to come into compliance.
Development standards rarely satisfy everyone's needs/wants. It is more efficient to build at a high density, but that may not necessarily mean that we should all conform to that mentality. A lot of us don't want to live in dense urban environments.
> Still required an army of lawyers. ... major points

What? Why? How?

Given that:

- You don't sell your customer data.

- That customer data is secure

- Someone somewhere in your org can handle access requests and delete customer data on request.

What here requires an army of lawyers?

Maybe your corporate culture demands that army regardless, but that's hardly the GDPR's fault.

I used a mail order prescription service for a while (ExpressScripts). It was awful. They routinely lost, failed to ship, or double-shipped packages, and I got multiple bottles of pills that had expired due to being left in the heat. I, personally, will never trust mail order prescriptions again.
I think it makes sense. The minor guy doesn't know how to avoid getting in trouble like the bigger guys probably do.
> But how tightly can you really connect 27000 GPUs?

Not all that well currently, NVidia and others are working on GPU specific interconnects[0] but they don't have anywhere near the scale of traditional interconnects which have supported hundreds of thousands of nodes by the late 90s. On of the big challenges in modern super computer programming is in fact keeping the GPUs hot, which can often mean offloading work that needs high memory usage to CPUs.

Unfortunately my knowledge here is a little dated, I interned at Los Alamos National Lab from 2008 - 2012 when they were doing a lot of rearchitecting of old codes for RoadRunner, the first peta-scale computer. It used Cell chips in accelerator cards and predicated a lot of the challenges in GPU programming, but did not fully elucidate them. For instance we didn't have CUDA!

If I had to take my guess the first exa-scale computer is going to be the one that solves the GPU interconnect problem at scale.

>anecdotally from locals reporting of income is less than 10% of actual

Factually this is BS. While there's underreporting in Greece, way more than "10% of actual" income is reported -- closer to 70% or 80% [1].

And one of the reasons it's not higher it's that there are quite high taxes (including a 24% VAT on most purchases) for little to no return from the state (no good healthcare, no money for schools, no road maintenance, etc). It's like sinking money down the drain.

([1] In fact a study by the Applied Economic Research at the University of Tübingen in Germany puts the whole Greek "shadow economy" to 20% of the GDP -- for comparison Germany's is around 10% and USA's around 5%: https://www.forbes.com/sites/niallmccarthy/2017/02/09/where-... ).
Usually, yes. But it does not mean that you should use a screwdriver to drive a nail just because that's what others are doing. They may be working with screws.

In more practical terms, you are not going to write a cronjob in java just because that's what the main system is written in.

Let's suppose Bonthu did in fact tell you in advance, and you acted on it. The SEC can see your trades, and you don't know if Bonthu has mentioned this conversation to someone else - in particular, you don't know if he told, or will tell, the SEC or FBI. What are you going to say when the FBI comes asking? If they can show you lied to them, you just made things a whole lot worse for yourself. Did you tell someone else? If they also acted, they may well face the same issue, and they might well choose full disclosure...

No, it doesn't. It requires you to answer the questions the regulator asks, and to see if you're currently following the guidance the regulator gives you.

How is that better than a debit card?
From the same programme, Peter Keen from the London Business School has this to say about expert systems:

"...Expert systems are really slightly dumb systems that exploit the speed and cheapness of computer chips...There are many expert systems in the literature which are nothing more than a series of fast if-then-else rules...you do that a couple of hundred thousand times it can look remarkably intelligent"

It's well worth watching this little clip. I wonder if what he says is still true?

Not at all - and I don't really care about them in this case, I'm more wondering what precedent was set for the world BY this case. (not just the ruling, but the entire proceeding).

The poor performance here isn't due to TensorFlow.js itself. It has to do with how I'm updating the DOM with the colors as the network is being trained. I could make a few tweaks here to get a dramatic improvement in performance.

You are also correct that it would be even less resource intensive if we just served the model instead of training it in the browser.

You should try what you are thinking of doing. I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how well it does.

There are many reasons for punishment, like retribution, deterrence, and rehabilitation. Your proposal sorta makes sense on the retribution angle, but is grossly excessive for rehabilitation and deterrence. On the deterrence side, once someone has racked up, say, 50 years, there is no reason to stop because they will not really get punished further.
I know I know. I've seen it too many times already. I was just trying to be coy.

Here come the stereotypes. The Mafia, as all criminal organizations bearing other names (Camorra, Ndrangheta, Sacra Corona Unita, etc.), do their business on all national territory, with huge investments also in the north. They're not anymore a bunch of ridiculously clothed picciotti gathered around a single boss but well organized corporations which launder their money through investment in legit businesses in order to build strong capital to be used for political lobbying.

They're more visible in the south because due to locals cultural differences, they want their presence to be seen over there in order to keep people under control, which is not the case in the north where they stay put for having a completely different way of doing business.

Optimistic visions of how government services should work need to take into account the dysfunctional and extraordinarily inefficient nature of the system you're plugging those responsibilities into.

If you have the State of California implement this system, it's going to add 10 hours of paperwork and phone calls to every year of every adult's life in perpetuity forever with no hope of ever being improved or rolled back.

Whatever you initially think should form the basis for these tolls will be completely thrown out 5 years later, and the tolls will be used as a generalized fungible revenue source for the state.

So your proposal is effectively "raise taxes and create more jobs that don't actually produce anything and make it more expensive to drive."
That wouldn't exempt you from federal tax though.
Yes, it's a bit of a mental shortcut that doesn't advance the argument much.

To understand that, I think you'd need to be a lawyer who worked in european law. The point is that each country has their own regulators who often enforce the laws differently. So what might be "perfectly clear" to you, could be interpreted completely differently where a different body of law and precedent has been set.
