This is true. Note that Sydney has fairly unique infrastructure. Sydney has extensive heavy rail that runs from a web of regional areas straight into the city via underground tunnels and this then becomes a circular underground subway system with numerous stops in the city itself. The Sydney system is great. I used to commute 90mins each way on Sydney trains but the fact that I didn't have to change trains to get to my inner city subway stop meant I took a seat, got my laptop out and it became no different to being at my desk at work. A few less distractions in fact. I might be gushing a bit because I now live in SF which has made me realise just how good Sydney was.

Melbourne is similar to SF. They love their above ground trams for inner city transport but those trams do nothing to get people into the city in the first place. The love is pure historical admiration and not rooted in reality. Being above ground is a flaw in terms of adding to congestion and different track gauges and thus train changes is a hassle we could all do without.

Not parent, but I wouldn't use these funds because there's a fundamental conflict of interest. Fidelity is a private company that seeks to profit from its customers. Vanguard is a company owned by its customers

There is always a profit motive. The company itself may be customer owned but the employees are still trying to make money. I’m not saying that it’s wrong. It just is.
I'll echo GeoffKnauth, I'm glad to have paid you for several of your books. I'm looking forward to starting the introduction to Klong book, as I find array languages fascinating but there's a regrettable lack of beginner materials for many.

Incidentally, the 6x9 PDF size is great on a Kindle Oasis, the print is a bit small but it works. This is in contrast to most other PDF ebooks, which I would have great difficulty reading on the Kindle, so thank you also for that!
Thanks! Yes, we've updated the link from https://www.fastcompany.com/90212342/3m-knew-your-non-stick-....
Unfortunately, the line drawing doesn't make this as cool as it could be. The line representing the flight from BOS to PEK is drawn due west, as would look natural on a 2D map. The real flight (and shortest route) heads north and passes near the north pole.

Hope they can update this, which would make international flights seem even more impressive than they already do.
Australian maps are shown with Oz in the middle, and the pacific / indian oceas each side, with South East Asia and Antarctia surrounding, exactly the same way US maps put the US in the center.
That's a fair point. I wonder if the US Government would let them patent military trade secrets
What would happen if we put trash in shipping containers and launch it into space? (Serious question).
This is really awesome. A few years ago, my friends would argue about the a good spot for everyone to meet at.

Idea for another project: (I tried it too but gave up quickly) Since now my friends are all over the US and the world, we argue about the best city to meet at. It would be awesome if there is a website that takes your and your friend’s budget, current city, and visa requirements and figure out the best place to fly to for everyone.

Of course, this will be easy to monetize if you can get referral commission from airlines and hotels.
A bunch of people thought they were smarter than every bank and stock exchange out there. That's how this happened.
You can see the difference between Africa, Congo and Greenland as mentioned in the article: https://imgur.com/a/g7uIYGN

Greenland is the size of Congo, around 2,2 million km2 while entire Africa is around 30 million km2. Europe being around 10 and North America 24 million km2.
This is really cool. I'd written some code to do roughly this in c++ awhile back based on data from Open Street Maps but I gave up when I realized there wasn't good data on speeds in that dataset.
Treadmills as a service have become big business. The services on offer are:

- Live classes/instruction

- Recorded classes/back-catalogue

- Being able to cycle real routes (e.g. major cycling events, popular cities, etc)

- Games (although still early/poor)

So the differentiator becomes what is behind the screen, and what a subscription offers you, rather than who can produce the nicest fly wheel or similar.

TBH I can see a wide range of surveillance-related technologies enabled by CS that are as impactful (but not as explosively so) as atomic weapons (I think you actually mean ICBMs, since atomic weapons aren't an existential threat, while ICBMs are).
Small installments seem to be gaining traction. With video games, it's micro transactions. With large ticket items, it's installments. I'd never expect an exercise bike to be part of this trend but here we are.
> What about theft of revenue, profits, money spent on new R&D

If you redefine it like that, then competition itself is theft. After all, if I start competing with you, I deprive you of revenue/profits by forcing you to decrease your margins...
This is ridiculous, these bikes are a fad. The company will get sold to a gym or furniture giant for pennies once people get bored and realize they paid $2,000 for a clothes hanger.

I will say it's an interesting take on an old business. Furniture and exercise equipment manufacturers have this problem where everybody buys their stuff and they go bankrupt because nobody needs new equipment after the initial purchase. So attaching the subscription business model to this might give them a bit more longevity!
The « funniest » part is that Spiegel probably made several news article about GDPR. In France it’s the same.

You can easily cook popcorn on a stove top. Pour some popcorn and oil in a pot, once is starts sizzling shake a bit, once it starts poping shake a lot. Take it off when the pops slow to about once a second and pour into a bowl. Add salt as desired.
But not for profit doesn't mean what most people think. They're welcome to make all of the profit they want. And they are welcome to pay their executives as grossly as they want. They just don't have shareholders to answer to.

I agree, my vastly preferred option now is Python code and C code with cffi to glue them together. I find that much preferable to Cython which is basically a third language altogether (and IMO not an especially nice one, although that is a bit of a value judgement).

It's isn't that they're weaker, they are more greedy and less eusocial. They abandon the mechanisms that keep ordinary cells as "good citizens" of the body and overconsume the available resources.

In doing so, they make themselves more sensitive to the resource supply. The "good citizen" cells will put themselves into a low-energy resting state or commit apoptosis to return resources for the common good when the energy supply gets low, as the cancer cells continue selfish business as usual, perhaps by growing more blood vessels into their tumor.

While fasting, many of your "good citizen" cells will stop dividing. Chemotherapy drugs or radiation treatments have greater impact on rapidly-dividing cells, like those in hair follicles, so the damage will then be more focused than ever on cancer cells, who disobey any signals to slow down, and keep dividing anyway. If you could send out a signal that says, "all cells should stay in their homes and shelter-in-place for the next 72 hours" then the cancer cells will ignore it and be the only ones out partying in the streets, and your attack helicopter drugs can be flying around, shooting at anything that moves. Then the immune cell cops can come out, and finish off the stragglers if they can.

It isn't the weakness of individual cells, it's the weakness of the intercell relationships in a tumor. "Good citizen" cells will commit apoptosis on demand in order to spare cells that are more important to the whole body. Cancerous cells have generally already ignored their suicide orders, and bluffed past or warded off the macrophages, in order to continue existing. That greed can be used against the cancer. They indiscriminately consume resources, so ordering the villagers to stop drinking water until further notice, and then poisoning the well, will kill or weaken anyone that disobeys. Even just poisoning the well without the prior protective order will tend to disproportionately kill more cancer cells, just because they drink as much as they can while the other cells are taking just what they need.

But when you can issue that protective order, by means of fasting, you get higher survival rates for obedient cells. If, for some reason, the cancer cells are resistant to the treatment, they will still hedonistically party themselves to death once the food is gone, as all the normal cells have either gone into brumation or killed themselves to lessen the burden.
You can find mine at https://www.fvcproductions.com.

It has scores of 100 on Lighthouse for everything except performance (98).

I still need to get rid of pagination on mine but based on what I've seen so far, I would be interested to see what percentage of these websites are highly performant/mobile-friendly.

I think it's fairly safe to assume that, if someone landed on your article, they had some sort of interest (or perhaps possessed the information literacy to figure out context) in the first place and you don't need to reintroduce the basics to every single reader.

From whence does this wisdom come? Experience by oneself, or learning of the experiences of others. How does one gain experience in, say, "having social media" if we've never had social media until the last few years? Social media hasn't been around long enough for a single complete human generation to have experienced life without it.

When MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, et al. were created, the "consequences" were providing an outlet for expression or keeping connected with friends and family. Noble causes. How do we get from there to "...and guess what, it'll be bad for individuals or society in $THIS_SPECIFIC_WAY"? I don't think it's possible.

Ethics evolve with society. Society will develop the ethics necessary to teach computer scientists and programmers. Such things are already underway[1].

Further, I'm seeing too little nuance in the comments on this story. Someone puts a Raspberry Pi in a situation to be responsible for human lives and it fails - is Linus now culpable?

There’s no need to be defensive or naive about Apple’s data gathering. It’s clearly stated in all of their terms that they gather usage data. Personally, I’d trust them more than Facebook, Google and most other companies. But to assume they’re gathering and storing no data is mistaken. It’s not your fault either, there’s a population-wide innocence about what data companies gather on us that will eventually be overcome as more people get exposed to the negative repercussions of what happens when data like that gets breached, hopefully leading to future laws clamping down on data usage and retention timeframes.

Data that Apple have on you includes but is not limited to:

- what time, location and what internet connection you use to do any of the following on an apple device:
— open an app, and what app you opened
— take a photo
— look at your photo gallery
— watch a video
— basically do almost anything
- also your iCloud files are all viewable by their engineers

Most of their staff only have access to anonymized versions of all of that data that engineers in particular use to find bugs and optimize UI’s, but thousands of their staff can view your raw data.

That’s not to say you should be worried. But you should be aware.
> If a technology that was much better at doing taxes came along, that would be a more comparable situation.

There's no need for it, technology already is good enough.

https://www.propublica.org/article/filing-taxes-could-be-fre...

There's no technology-in-general that "the Luddites" fight againtst, nor are there Luddites-in-general. It's risk-benefit calculation in every case, with different parties and different interests. You don't need luck to profit off lobbying against the development of your undoers, this is the norm, not the exception.

> Okay, how does the other party get richer? It usually isn't because they fight against more efficient technologies.

What is an "efficient technology" and what is an "unapproved and criminal enterprise" can be decided by lobbying. Luddite is the one who loses, because he gets labeled Luddite by the victor; the loss itself had little to do with vague attitudes towards technological progress. You're just stubbornly missing the point.
I don't know if it has long term legs or is just an (extended, at this point) fad, since I've never used one or done soulcycle or whatever, but all the stuff that bugged you about it is the selling point. The hook is that nobody ends up using standalone just-do-what-you-will fitness gear (I do have experience on this side!). Some level of "training" programming has been much more effective for a lot of people, and this is taking this outside the studio into a broadcast form.

My suspicion is that once you take it out of the class setting you've lost that hook, though.
I think both Robinhood and M1 Finance collect interest on their customers' cash and securities. Robinhood also makes money by offering margin to its customers and I believe M1 Finance has a similar but more general offering called M1 Borrow where the money borrowed can be used anywhere instead of just trading.
That is true.

When I was a kid, closing my eyes would generate fractal-like patterns. They'd get stronger if I lightly pushed on my closed eyelids or rubbed them.

I got older and started seeing psychedelic art and such, and was like "Ah, others see this stuff too."

I never got into the voodoo/mysticism that is often peddled. Always figured it was some sort of light penetrating the liquid layers of my eyes still still, or something. Illuminating them just enough to make out that, but not the rest of the physical world.
The point is to change processes and habits so the entire sum of resources used and pollution produced is minimal.

Reuse is almost always better, so maybe yoghurts can come in glass jars instead of tiny, hard to wash plastic cups? Maybe smallest containers, that discourage reuse should be taxed extra? Much easier to wash 1l yoghurt cup than 4 x 250ml.

Biodegradable - that's cool, but sometimes they can be toxic, not really biodegradable or require a lot of resources to produce, and a lot of waste is produced as by product.

Sorting is great, but only recycling, which requires cleaning - which is attacking the problem from the wrong end.
Cython caters to Python programmers who don't know C well enough to be comfortable writing C (like me).
In many ways, though, this is a content and social play. It's debatable if most bike manufacturers have that DNA.

In light of what people are paying for Soul Cycle, etc., this makes a lot of sense, regardless how good the UI or bike is.
They sell these treadmills and bikes with video training and scenery on it. I have no idea who is buying their products though.

I bet this is just another pump and dump startup.
Why https://github.com/hugegraph/hugegraph/commit/cad89c3bafce08... ? Its Ok to copy things from other projects but it seems unnecessary copy it and strip ownership like that then put "Copyright 2017 HugeGraph Authors" on it.
Yes, there is a difference, but that's because academia is not industry. Since academia's main goal is to publicize findings rather than keep them secret, plagiarism is the academic analogue of stealing "industrial secrets" and then giving them to a competitor (i.e., increasing the prestige of a rival university).

The overall effect is comparable, even if the currency (reputation instead of money) is different, and the decision to steal is still rooted in the same sense of ethics / morality.

This is why its naive to think consumer choice can replace regulations because in most cases consumers are in the dark like in this case, or are not a collective to effect change and that then destroys the commons. The feedback loop is too long.

On the other side anti-regulatory proponents fund hundreds of think tanks and keep on aggressively pushing their agenda in the media and then when the environmental damage or fraud is revealed they make themselves scarce or evade responsibility. This is not a good model to run a society. It puts individual greed over the common good and destroys the commons.

Civilized society has never worked without laws which is what regulations are and and its high time basic tested principles are not allowed to be muddied by self interested parties with PR budgets. Depending on 'goodwill', 'self-regulation' and 'ethics' is a fairy tale version of reality.
If you are far away from retirement (or whatever your reason for investing is), then the index is a good goal, but as you get closer to retirement you need to have an asset allocation that won't drop in value right when you need the money. The index will not do that for you.

Say your goal is to have a mix of stocks/bonds/cash that gets more conservative the closer you get to retirement. Would an actively manage fund on average beat a fund with the same mix of investments where each component was an index?

Might want to develop some sensitivity and awareness to never being able to tell the difference between too much studying or not enough studying.

"Real studying". Figure out what it means when you don't have anyone to design tests to check your own knowledge for you.

Bongs. Is it fun to insult people for thinking?

Real studying only means something when you have a teacher and an educational institution. Real world is much harder. You can watch your own understanding loop around itself hundreds of thousands of times. And still not know, do I know anything at all?

How many times do you have to observe something before you accept it as fact. 1 time? 2 times, perhaps once indirectly? 3? Infinite? How many ways can a truth be conveyed, and how many ways can you be made to interpret it so you know the difference between being entrusted with an awareness, or whether you've been manipulated into accepting it.

Socrates, aka "I know that I know nothing", had 3 books written about him. Aristophanes, The Clouds - he was a bumbling fool. Ever think about why he appeared that way to different sets of people?
Because it's shared. Assuming you accept the existence of other minds, what makes reality real, is that it's shared. Schizophrenic hallucinations are no less real to the sufferer than so-called normal experiences. What makes reality real is that every shares the experience.

That raises interesting questions about what is real and what is not, but also questions about how much of reality is really the residue of culture and worldview.

Answer to your question number 3 is: well, if I have just one apple, with label 3.1415926535 then obviously it will fit. Notice that no two apples have the same labels.
They usually cannot improve carefully optimized numpy operations, nor GPU operations. The use cases are thus limited.
Not really. They do make stuff that people buy, but often they take out loans to buy those things ("free with 2 year contract") which changes the economics a bit. They sit in the middle of every transaction on those devices you bought, telling you which applications you can and cannot use. They sit in the middle of any content you purchase; instead of your New York Times subscription supporting journalism, 30% of that goes to Apple instead for the privilege of owning "your" device. They intercept your text messages to provide iMessage. Who knows what happens to things I've stored on iCloud after I delete them.

I don't have a problem with any of this stuff, but Apple is hardly a just a scaled up lemonade stand. They are just Google and Facebook but better at brand image.
