I get it, but anyone making more than $100k probably has investments Schedule Ds and all that other crap to worry about. And anyone else can file a 1040EZ anyways. Not ideal for sure, but the hard case remains the hard case.
That, over time, you lose the fulfillment your felt when first achieving your ambitions.

Or, put otherwise, the further you are in time from an achievement, the less fulfilling it is.
That sounds like asking for trouble.
"Chemical-free" is an abbreviation of "dangerous chemical free," or in some cases (for car seats, not so much food), "chemically inert." Nobody would ever have a reason to specify that something should contain no chemicals at all, so the word "dangerous" is dropped in what is essentially an application of Huffman coding. ;)
It is finished, at least the R&D. The GTX 10xx cards are based on Pascal, since which we've had Volta and now Turing. Both Volta and Turing have only been used in workstation and server class cards.

There are a few things in play.

- Nvidia has no competition in the consumer graphics card space; AMD is so far behind that Nvidia can release a (completely amazing) architecture in 2016 and have it still be top of class.

- Consumer graphics demands are still pretty much met with Pascal, though this could be a chicken/egg problem. 4K monitors are pricey, and >60fps 4K has only now just entering the market, and even then a 1080Ti can drive it alright. At every other resolution, you get a 1070, 1070Ti, or a 1080 and you're set. The demand isn't there on the high-end, the only thing a new arch would help is delivering better performance at a cheaper price.

- Every non-consumer application of GPGPUs is exploding. Rendering, AI, Cloud, they all need silicon, and every wafer you "waste" in the low margin consumer segment is a wafer that could have went to one of these markets. I mean, its not that simple, but that's the idea.

- The one consumer use that is exploding (less so today, but in months past) is crypto mining, which is highly volatile. Nvidia likely doesn't want to encourage this use. You've got miners in China buying up thousands of consumer cards, and whenever crypto crashes they enter the used market, driving down demand for first party cards.

- Much of the rest of the consumer markets are surprisingly dominated by AMD. AMD has consoles and Mac on lockdown. A lot of this is because Nvidia has always been unwilling to play in this space, but let's say you're senior leadership at Nvidia. You have two choices: Play with Apple and ship silicon in the Mac even though Apple themselves clearly isn't committed to the platform, or play with Amazon, Microsoft, etc and ship silicon to the datacenter, which Mac users will often end up using anyway (AI, cloud rendering, etc). And hey, you want that local processing power, just use Windows. No brainer.

My guess is that they'll keep Pascal alive for 2018 to clear out inventory, and we'll see a line of Volta-based consumer cards in 2019. The want to establish a completely solid moat in these high growth markets before fishing for pennies in the consumer markets with their older established architectures.
I agree part of your point. But you forgot another huge difference that, US has involved lots of wars in the past three decades, but China didn't, which spend trillion dollars, either on labor or not, but that money just wasted without any outcoming. You can check out what Jack Ma commented about this in World Economic Forum 2017: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2017/01/jack-ma-america-has-w...
This is a recurring trend. Republican policies seem to harm the economy while Liberal policies seem to benefit it.

A Princeton paper was written on the subject.

https://www.princeton.edu/~mwatson/papers/DemRep_BlinderWats...

For the past almost 100 years the economy has done better on every major indicator with a Liberal in office.

I suspect it's because the trickle down effect doesn't work.
In my view that's one of it's strengths, they make a good product that is best in class for the their niche. I'm happy they're trying to expand with features rather than some content bid. Plex doesn't have a stigma because you can't use it to actually pirate content.

I don't think Plex will ever be a huge company but you don't need to be in order to succeed.
> I'm an Apple fan because I don't need to repair the device

Given that Apple has no data recovery service for any of their products (even if you tell them that you'll give them a limitless pile of cash) and that they solder storage into most of their devices (that is paired to the CPU -- so you cannot remove the flash chip and put it onto a working board to recover data), this is a very bold claim.

Maybe you don't need your phone to be repaired when it is water damaged and you can no longer get photos of your children (that you should've backed up, but didn't). Maybe you want to pay US$300 to replace an out-of-warranty phone when the only thing wrong with it is that a headphone jack got stuck inside the port[1]. Maybe you don't want to pay more than the device is worth to fix a brand-new device[2].

Apple devices aren't just hard to repair, Apple as a company is anti-repair -- and defending this practice is not a reasonable position to hold. I understand arguing that Apple products are easier to use, or that they are more consumer-friendly, or that consumers shouldn't have full control over their devices because they'll probably brick them, and so on. But arguing that them being irreparable is a good thing is not justifiable (even if you don't need your device repaired, someone else will, and out-right ignoring that is misinformed).

Yes, the issue is the LTCG build, which by default uses 4 threads and with Chromium the compiler hits some pathological issues with such a huge program and it ends up using mostly 1 core and swapping lots of memory.
Why would they release new consumer GPUs now?

HPC and datacenter are way more profitable and they already lead gaming. They've had faster gaming silicon for literally years. AMD's failure to release anything competitive is why you don't see faster gaming GPUs.

NVIDIA's biggest threat right now is being labeled a monopoly.

> By “simplifying” tax filing without simplifying the underlying calculations, there is far less public visibility of just how broken the tax system is.

That's a decently idealistic viewpoint, but "complicated" doesn't necessarily mean "broken". For example, pretty much all Unix-style operating systems have not only a ton of now-unnecessary code to handle text I/O from 1960's teletype machines, but they even come with a "terminal emulator" that literally emulates the behavior of a 1960's teletype machine. That's how the command line works. You would never design it that way from the start, it's complicated, it's crufty, and it's vaguely horrifying, and yet it works and solves virtually all of the real problems that real people would have with that system. Just like letting the IRS fill out the first draft of your tax return.
Copy and paste would produce the same numbers, and therefore the same pattern. As mentioned, the figures aren't the same at higher temperatures, as well Excel wouldn't copy, paste, add 1 unit which would produce the offset.

No it doesn't make sense to expect rail to replace sea, however the article failed to note that the Yiwu-Europe rail link is over existing rails and there was very little infrastructure investment other than inland port facilities. The major drive was on the software side -- making trains going through multiple countries less cumbersome. Whatever happens to the BRI the Yiwu-European rail certainly is not to going to be the one to break the bank.

How anxious should I be about heeding Apple's advice and trusting Malwarebytes?
Two simultaneous malware scans, one using Malwarebytes and the other using fs protection for Mac, ran on my MacBook Pro. The programs reported very different sets of detections:

Scan #1: Malwarebytes, in its usual, unnerving ~15-second “comprehensive scan” duration, prompts a false negative: “Congratulations, you are clean!” [disclosure-in-jest: operating on the assumption that it’s referring to my computer being clean, not me personally—though the results of my recent blood test posit the same]

Scan #2: fs protection for Mac detects that I'm about to get Locky'ed out of my computer (reporting 8 VBS/Locky.AF file instances stored locally as email attachments)

Here’s a link to a screenshot of the whole mess: https://www.reddit.com/r/mac/comments/97467p/how_anxious_should_i_be_about_following_apples/?st=JKT19O4H&sh=bf1d0a57

Ambitious people set high goals for themselves. High goals usually take time and energy to achieve. When you're old, you are on short supply of both, and so a person ambitious in their youth can no longer afford to be as such at say 85. You've only got so much time left, it's not worth it to be a prospector.

The author likens this state of affairs to that of an aging athlete who can no longer play the sport they loved playing in their youth. For an ambitious person, settling for a slower pace can be a difficult transition.
There is an active market for vendor software, as indicated by the other replies. The real expense driver isn't necessarily that "you need an app" but that "you need an app that is either very hardened or safely quarantined from your core infrastructure". And more generally, yeah the front-end stuff is kinda crappy, but it's because the back-end has to connect to a bunch of different systems with weird proprietary protocols and it has to work 100%. Every. single. penny.

And if you're a $100-$200 million in assets credit union, you may have an IT team of 2-3 people (that's a swag, but it wouldn't be > 5)

I don't believe Vanguard trades for its own account.

Given their structure, I'm not sure how they could trade on their own account. IANAL, but they're a registered investment advisor and that status requires them to act as a fiduciary for their clients.

Plus, with their structure as a mutual company the firm is owned by its customers. Even if they did trade for themselves, the account would effectively be owned by all their customers, wouldn't it?
There was a prominent builder in India called DS Kulkarni. He just tried doing that. Collected almost 1250 crore INR from almost 2000 investors as FD’s promising returns. Then demonization was implemented in late 2016 and all his investors were duped by him.

Now, both he and his wife is in prison.
That's really more of a comment on market size than anything else, though. Everytime money moves it's an opportunity to profit.
>best in class for the their niche

I find plex to be quite buggy and opaque. It is tolerable for the few things that it does, but that's mostly because it's a niche, and there isn't that much competition in this space. I don't know how emby is doing these days.

>trying to expand with features

Their expansion efforts are also not that scalable, again because they can't control content. They recently added integration with tuner boxes and dvr, but that whole segment is on its way out. Not to mention, various other issues with the inability to handle DRM and other copyright restrictions that come with cable. They also tried some cloud drive integration, which again didn't pan out, because they don't control the storage. I think they've tried to bundle some news and podcasts, which is marginal at best. In this space, I just don't see how you can make money unless you are selling content, storage or compute. Plex sells none of these. At the end of the day, it's some glue software that probably calls ffmpeg to transcode.

Ask HN: How do you train and deploy machine learning models at your company?
Hey HN!

I’ve been reading a lot about ML and I’ve been curious: how do you train and serve models (for example, deep neural networks) at your company? Do you use a custom system or something else? How do you deploy/serve your models in production? Are there any particular pain points with your current approach?

Thanks!

I have a slightly different take on this. I know that the OP said “start earning some side income”. However, I think there can be value from a side project other than income. It can be a great hobby the allows one to explore other creative avenues.

As a manager (and founder), I encourage my team to have outside projects. However, they should not be done on the company’s dime. I also encourage them to use most of the cool tools we have.

For me, I’m currently building solid wood word clocks. A coworker made a bunch of educational web tools for teachers (spouse is a teacher). One sw dev was learning electronics and borrowed some nice soldering equipment and an o scope.

Some of us make a little money doing these things to make it fun and cover our hobby’s expenses.
The point is these are more of a hobby (that might earn some money) than a job. By encouraging this with my employees, they get a breath of fresh air and some alternative perspectives.

FYI, the minimum stint for engineers at my company has been about 5 years. Our most valuable engineers have been with me for more than 15 years.
I did, but I don't see the relevance to my question as written.
It's not uncommon in countries with comprehensive health care for veterans to receive additional benefits (even for non combat/service related injuries).

Not as hard as it is to get a precise number on much money China spends on its military.

China's soldier support spending is pretty significant as well, probably much more so than the US.

Applications of molecular communications to medicine: a survey
care to explain this please?
I can hear "loss of ambition's fulfillment," in two ways, which gives it power in tight, poetic prose:

1. It is no longer fulfilling to be ambitious (i.e., a quiet home-centric, narrowing life can be fulfillment enough)

2. Ambitions are no longer fulfilled (i.e., there's not enough energy or time in the day to meet ambitious goals)

Uhh. That's not okay.
> The market allows for this silicon giant because of the current Deep Learning and VR hype.

One of three things is true:

1) Nvidia has misstepped and no one will buy large, expensive chips

2) Companies are buying large, expensive chips because they're purchasing based on hype rather than use

3) Companies are buying large, expensive chips because even at their prices, their performance delivers greater business value

I'd argue that improvements in ML techniques have tipped us into (3). Intel and Microsoft's fortunes weren't built on being faster: they were built on allowing businesses to do new categories of work on computers.

> Unicode characters are limited to the range U+0000..U+10FFFF, so they fit in 21 bits and require no more than four bytes (in the UTF-8 encoding form) or two 16-bit code units (in UTF-16)

The private use planes U+F8000..U+FFFFF and U+100000..U+10FFFF can be used as the high and low surrogate ranges in a surrogate-pair encoding scheme similar to that of UTF-16. That would give a range of U+00000000..U+7FFFFFFF, which is in 2^31 space. If the Unicode Consortium removed their arbitrary upper limit of U+10FFFF for codepoints, the UTF-8 and UTF-32 schemes as presently defined would naturally fit into this space without needing to use any surrogation. Only UTF-16 would require any surrogation -- its present scheme and those private use planes for a 2nd tier -- but hopefully the use of UTF-16 would be well on its way out by then.

I think you may have it backwards. CDs and money market funds are actually liabilities for the financial institution. They're ways of paying customers more in the hopes of attracting deposits.

There are non-depository financial institutions, but you'd be more familiar with them by other names: investment banks, insurance companies, pension funds, mutual funds
