Fcoin violent harvesting investors！
A well-known investor contacted digital currency in May this year. In June, I heard that FCoin platform and its founder, Beijing Bochen Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing Songker Capital Management Co., Ltd., and Beijing Node Investment Co., Ltd. partner Zhang Jian, I have seen Zhang Jian has a few live broadcasts, talking about the public mind, faith, FCoin development prospects, and the general economy will become the greatest innovation after Bitcoin. The digital currency FT issued by the FCoin platform can enjoy high dividends and transaction fee refund. For the trust of Zhang Jian, I will save the family's savings of 320,000 yuan and borrow more than 500,000 yuan on June 15 and 16 in batches. Buying the digital currency FT, the FT began to fall shortly after the purchase. The original normal investment increase is hopeless to stop the loss, but the platform frequently released the favorable announcement tray. Zhang Jian himself also publicly claimed that the value is undervalued. Dividends, long-term value has not been released, encourage everyone to insist on holding dividends, and stressed that do not care about the price of the price rise and fall according to the price-earnings ratio as long as one year, regardless of the loss, according to the dividend can be returned, in the face of the endless decline in the price of the currency I bear A lot of pressure, but out of trust in Zhang Jian, still insisted on dividends and re-investment, eventually losing more than 400,000 cuts of meat, and then on July 18 with the remaining 430,000 to buy platform ARP currency, 20 nights occurred The plunge fell by 90% within a few minutes. The most unacceptable is that the platform could not log in before and after the plunge on the night of the night. It can only be seen that the hard-earned money has disappeared. There are only less than 130,000 left between 430,000 overnight.

> a new architecture that could in one fell swoop kill off the general purpose processor as a concept and the X86 instruction set as the foundation of modern computing.

Do you want me to think you're a credulous idiot? Because this is how you acheive that.

Okay, so laying aside the bizarrely stereotypical tech journalism. From what I understand there are a number of problems with this that need addressing:

If you create a custom compute unit layout for a specific data flow diagram it's very difficult to identify which layout is most efficient, and then when you want to optimize for higher performance it's almost impossible - because you don't know what you're targetting. It may be your optimization pushes your design to a different layout completely and all the cost functions are impossible to know. You end up with too many free variables to optimize for. We're very good at taking a fixed design like a CPU and then taking a program and jamming it in to that paradigm.

The second problem is that either you need 1 architecture that will dynamically reconfigure to different graphs or you needs lots of architectures. They seem to be going for the 'Spin 100 designs' path -so firstly, how is a customer meant to know which of those designs to actually buy, what happens if their design evolves from 1 design to another? Secondly, how is this cost effective? There's a good reason why Intel only spins a handful of designs per CPU generation.

The third problem is that if you have a custom compute unit layout and your program doesn't fit to it well it's not like a CPU. You can't re-order operations to maximally use the units, the bits that aren't useful are just dead silicon - and from history it seems like the killer is that dead silicon tends to be a LOT of silicon for any given program.

To be honest, this is a very well understood problem, and there are good reasons why it hasn't worked so far, and this article doesn't really give us any information on why it would work this time.

It's not related to Angular, it's just how modern frontend works now. Also when you build it with production it won't be 240mb. Remember that it loads all dependencies as well as many build dependencies.

In fact Angular team is working on new view engine (ngIvy) that shown to tree-shaken "Hello World" angular application down to 2.6kb.

IMO your reasoning for complaining is ridiculous, it's like saying "I hate C#, why do I need to download 6gb Visual Studio that has 64 thousand files in "Program Files/Visual Studio" folder to build C# application!".

Points 2, 3 and 4 I can agree with but the first point, about Typescript adding bloat but no value, I think is totally wrong.

Sure, TS is a new language, but if you use ES6 the difference is not that big. And the "drawback" "to have an IDE for checking errors", that's a win in my book.

No matter how large or small the application type-checking and a more structured programming language is invaluable. Also, not having to wonder about what JS function will work in what browser.

Sure, for a simple app Angular might not be optimal, but if you're building anything substantial it is invaluable.

It's a shady tactic to just get you to accept cookies. If the tracking is not active until you actually click accept though, I think it should technically still count as opt-in? I mean they make you jump through hoops if you want no tracking and get rid of the cookie banner - but you could also just ignore it for the same effect, as the banner does not limit the use of the site (unlike banners of others websites that block the whole content until you take action).
Any links to Baidu's DeepSpeech 2 pretrained model? I'm likely looking right past it, spent the past few days playing around with Mozilla DeepSpeech and their pretrained model, building a simple little API and webpags to feed it files: https://github.com/AccelerateNetworks/DeepSpeech_Frontend

I really want to put DeepSpeech 2 with Baidu's model up against Mozilla's model and see which is better, seems like it could be quite interesting!
If one were being cynical and thinking that optimising for (maximum) headcount is a major driver here, one might want to avoid technologies with substantial barriers to entry, since that might clear the market of qualified people and make further recruitment very hard. The "ideal" technology would be one where almost anyone can pick it up quickly and at least look like they're being vaguely productive, but where even a 0.01-%ile expert will struggle to achieve really exceptional things.

20/20.

They're fairly easy to differentiate. The curved ends (finials) of e, c, C, r, S, s are generally horizontal in Helvetica and at an angle in Arial.

The tail of the uppercase R and ascender of the lowercase t are the biggest giveaways.

Funny how they are so similar, but Arial is pretty tacky in comparison...
Ah, thanks for the clarification!

The claim that the learning styles were debunked didn't jive with me because I had a very bad experience being taught German in school using only talking/speaking. And I feel like I need to have things written down to remember them. (For example, I cannot reproduce sounds - like foreign names - very easily, and I have hard time sorting them out. But if you write it down, I can relate it to other sounds and remember it.)
This can be solved with other tools and community choices.

For example, introducing automated systems which update dependencies to more recent versions, run automated tests (you already have CI set up, right?), and notify authors (including a PR; why not?) when versions can be bumped automatically.

This sort of system A) doesn't involve a SAT solver and B) gets things up to date all the time.

It's also roughly analogous to the principles that `go get` has already forced into the norm in the community: things should build and work against master in the dependencies; if they don't, you've got problems. At the same time, since precise dependency versions are tracked, changes can be absorbed at a controlled rate. What a trade!
Most generational GCs will work better if you don't reuse objects - reuse extends lifetime and increases probability of promotion to an old generation, slower to scan. (Go's GC is not generational today, AFAIK.) I'd take any recommendations along those lines as last resort techniques to reduce pressure on critical path loops. And a more sophisticated runtime may allocate such temporaries in registers or on the stack.

In other words, you're tuning to today's runtime if you reuse heavily. Those techniques may not age well, and will harm readability and maintainability.
Sure, I agree with you for the most part. Except that if you're going to see one of these autotune singers live with the hope that they're able to sound exactly like the record then you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Would you feel cheated if you found out that the magic show you went to in Vegas was just sleight-of-hand and trickery? :)

I personally dislike it too, but I'm not going to say it's not artistic, because to someone else it might be. People get so caught up and passionate with their art of choice that they sometimes forget that it's all just entertainment in the end. Whether it be Hillary Hahn or some teenager making beats in Ableton and throwing in the stock vocal effect.

About 80s synths, I think a lot of us, or at least I personally associate that cheesy sound with mass-produced digital synths put out by Yamaha, Roland etc. It's all variety and I love it. My dad still has a DX7 and a D-50 that I'm hoping to inherit.

3 wrong? If so, same here. I also didn't know the characteristics so at the first logo I noted the differences and tried to remember what I noticed about Arial in the past, guessed correctly, and was able to find common letters in most subsequent ones (and learn new letters). I kept messing up the capital A, otherwise I would have gotten only one mistake.

Even if you sign up for an alternate email service, the fact that Google controls so many email accounts means that it is still going to get to read many of the emails sent from Yahoo / Hotmail to Gmail.

> But the biggest education — while it’s not mandatory throughout the country, it’s done by most schools — is students around grade four or five, in the 10 and 11 age range, start taking cycling skills courses.

Having been raised in The Netherlands, and being educated from kindergarten till university, and having three kids older than 11 years... I've never heard about a _cycling skill course_ in Dutch schools. Sure, there a classes (part of primary school education) about traffic rules, but children learn to cycle in their play time. I guess 75% of kids know how to drive a bicycle before they're 6 years old.

> Between the ages of 11 and 12 they have to take a written exam to show that they understand the rules of the road. They also do a practical exam.

Indeed, these exist. But the only training for that practical exam that I'm aware of is that the teacher is biking the route (it is known in advance) once with the kids, like a week before that "fietsexamen".

Oh, and nowadays that exam is part of Fietsexamen Nederland (related to Veilig Verkeer Nederland?), not the Fietsersbond.

Keep up the good work ++
As some mentioned before bullshit jobs exist because the corporate world still thinks in terms of hours instead of production. People have zero incentive to reduce or automate their work, something that every solo freelancer is struggling to do daily if he wants to survive.

Since they need to fill their hours quota somehow they create meetings and procedures and more job functions that are needed in order to be in line with those new procedures.

The bigger the corporate the bigger the time and money waste. Meeting become global team meetings that costs tons of money, jobs that can be easily automated become complete departments and so on.

Only in a corporate culture where the only thing measured and compesnated is output - there you will see almost zero bullshit.
