I think it gets magnified in the wake of the unreal inconveniences of large metropolitan area's housing--traffic--etc. You, HAVE to think that yes, you're getting something for that inconvenience that you can't get anywhere else (whether it's true or not), otherwise, you simply wouldn't be there.

Thank you for providing useful references. Hyperparameter tuning can accelarate CPLEX by 10x and more depending on problem instances (however, it it true that each new version of CPLEX is faster and faster).

What I meant is that in the case if your problem is formulated in a way that the CPLEX and Gurobi cannot treat it (e.g., stochastic and multiobjective) and is not very large-scale, then one can use heuristics. However, the efficiency of the latter will likely depend on hyperparameter settings which need to be set properly.
I'll piggyback this to add my own anecdata.

I pay about $95/month for Progressive insurance on my $28,000 Subaru BRZ. I got a quote on a $135,000 Tesla Model S P100D, and for the same coverage (Full coverage + Liability with moderate deductibles), it was $140/month.

A tingling feeling similar to my experience of AMSR (based on the whispering Youtube videos) happens when I inhale sharply and focus on the back of my head. Doing so also tilts my head back everso slightly.

If I concentrate more, I need not inhale sharply, just normal breathing will do. The tingling happens always at the in-breath.

A strong tingle persists over the out breath too.

If I keep (over) doing it, it vanishes for some time. All this led me to believe it is muscle related somehow, and the vanishing effect is because of muscle fatigue. What muscle/muscles - no clue, something on the scalp I guess.

I don't know of it's the same, but for me it feels like that.

Updates about their timeline from the post:

* the devkits should start shipping in October (last date that was mentionned was beginning of September IIRC).

* production for the phones is delayed from Jan 2019 to April 2019 because of a bug on the SoC that is affecting battery life.

That's true only if you compare sticker prices. In reality, a $32k bolt has a $7.5k federal rebate, a $2.5k california rebate, and various city and utility rebates. So a $32k MSRP is actually around $20-22k.

With that in mind, a $16k 3 year old Bolt is actually not that bad.

Sorry you got that impression, but I was simply asking. Nothing wrong with getting more context, is there?
I don't understand why the tennis organisers care so much about cracking down on this. Their incentives are mainly aligned with the courtsiders: they pay for seats and facilitate gambling which encourages viewers. The data firms like Sportradar are the only ones with a financial incentive to stamp them out: their service is worth more if it's a monopoly. So they must be putting the squeeze on the tennis federations and threatening to cancel contracts.

It's clear that the Sportradar service isn't competitive for real-time gambling, but why don't they offer a service that is? Put a guy at each match entering the scores (and any other information) faster than the chair umpire and sell that data. If there's enough money to have multiple spotters and courtsiders (up to 50) at the event, Sportradar should be able to capture enough of that to employ one person to do data entry.

BuzzFeed is a disservice to the profession, more generally.
On motorcycles you can be just a little bit more agressive, but selectively.

There's enough power to assert high speeds, and take the lead with quick acceleration, but due to the amount of surface area in contact with the ground, motorcycles have lower agility than bicycles, based on the weight that gets thrown around.

With most motorcycles weighing well over 200 pounds, depending on speeds, the usual turning radius cuts a pretty wide arc (not very maneuverable, ultimately), and stopping too short will throw you off the bike. You just lock up the tires, or peel out if you don't finesse the amount of force in play.

They can do more than a car, in terms of turning and stopping, but it requires agility, dexterity and practice. Whereas with a car you can just slam the brakes, and toss it in any gear, do whatever, and not even think about balance.

So, in a situation where you gain a feel for the attitude of some random car, and the driver is radiating the demeanor of a total dickwad, there are three choices. A. Stop, reroute, and go anywhere that fucker isn't. (the best, and most common decision, more than you might ever know) B. Clutch the transmission and rev loudly, to see if they know you exist, which often doesn't work because people listen to music and mostly try to ignore the world around them. C. When they inevitably don't respond to options A & B, release the clutch, and rev the engine to launch in front of that prick and blast off. Fuck the world.

People just really don't like to give other people choices, so you wind up doing a burnout in front of them, because they keep stepping on your toes. Hurts me more than it hurts them. Such is life.

> Though Musk prefaced one email with “off the record,” BuzzFeed News did not agree to that condition of the correspondence.

I assume that Musk would not have said these things "on the record" so does Buzzfeed's rejection of his claim mean anything here? I understand that there are no "laws" but the ethics of this feels... dubious. Especially since the NYU Journalism Handbook [0] they link says this (emphasis mine):

> In general, it is best to avoid off the record conversations; another option might be to converse off the record and then try to convince the source to agree to waive the agreement.

In case anyone thinks Musk has secret evidence (that he's inexplicably not sharing with anyone, not even police), remember that his first tweet on the subject was:

"Never saw this British expat guy who lives in Thailand (sus) at any point when we were in the caves."

He then quickly made his "(sus)" insinuation explicit with the "pedo guy" tweet. It's very clear that this was all based on nothing, just a stereotype of a white man in Thailand.
A counter anecdote to this is the iPhone. During the iPhone's release there were three smartphone giants: Blackberry, Nokia, Motorola. The tree companies tried their best to attack Apple but failed. The iPhone pretty much killed them. All it really means is that your future is never guaranteed and that hindsight is 20/20.

We're obviously not going to agree on this. It's not just you or I though, this is a huge debate of our times. I truly believe the dictionary definition of racism will continue to be how most people view, define and react to statements like Jeong's. Racism = bad is really tough to argue against.

We'll see if the left can prescriptively redefine what "racism" means to align with their politics. I have serious doubts that it will pick up steam though.
That does not appear to be the case in Firefox (62.0). Using dandare's blue button adding function from his reply to your comment here is some test code:

function myFunction()
{
var btn = document.createElement("BUTTON");
var t = document.createTextNode("CLICK ME");
btn.appendChild(t);
document.body.appendChild(btn);
btn.style.color = "blue";
}

function slow(n)
{
console.log('slow called');
let s = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < n; ++i)
s += 1.00000001;
console.log('slow:' + s);
return s;
}

function callMyFunction(to)
{
myFunction();
setTimeout(function () {slow(5000000000);}, to);
}

The argument to slow() in the timeout function, 5000000000, causes it to take about 5 seconds on my system, long enough to easily tell if the button has rendered before slow runs.

In Chrome, callMyFunction(0) results in the blue button showing up, then 'slow called' in the log, then 5 seconds later slow() finishes. I did this several times and the results were the same every time.

In Firefox, it results in 'slow called' in the log, then 5 seconds later slow finishes and the blue button shows up. Several tries with callMyFunction(0) resulted in no instances of the rendering being done before the timeout function was called.

I had to bump the argument to callMyFunction up to 35 to get the rendering to happen consistently before the timeout function (10 out of 10 times). It mostly completed before the timeout at 34, but not always.

This is surprising to me, because the impression I got when I looked into this a few years ago on Stackoverflow and other web sites was the setTimeout(0) was a reliable way to make sure that all DOM changes were rendered.

My test procedure: open browser. Open inspector. Paste the above code into the console. invoke callMyFunction from the console while watching the screen for the button and the log for slow's messages. I wonder if JavaScript invoked from the console might have some different rules for rendering timing?

Edit: nope, it has nothing to do with the console. I tried the above, but invoked by a click on a page instead of from the console, and the results are the same.
Not necessarily - if I have a website that is trying to offer information to people about something, then it's better for everyone if it's more navigable/undersatandable, which session length / clicks might be a proxy for.

That said, it certainly can be.

Imagine a scenario where this passes. Larger companies in the US and elsewhere are able to put in place "filtering" to comply with the mandate, but then other smaller companies simply turn off the EU.

When it comes to regulations, larger companies have the will and resources to meet them. Stifling competition and becoming dominant in the marketplace.

Sure, some commentators will argue that SaaS products can popup to fill the "filtering" requirements. But it could be something that companies just simply cannot afford to implement and again, we're back to blocking off the EU.

The knock on effect is that at least for EU content, startups will have yet another hurdle to get off the ground.

Now, when the rest of the world starts to block off the EU and EU customers start seeing their access being limited as time goes on. It may or may not cause a backlash. Who knows at this point.

As a solo-founder who is working on a startup that is hugely impacted by this. I really hope this does not pass. If it does, oh well. I'll shrug and postpone EU participation until my company is able to afford the extra cost.
Probably for the same reason they have been censoring themselves on israel and saudi arabia. Probably for the same reason social media has been censoring content about china. $$$.

Why does hollywood censor themselves when it comes to israel, saudi arabia and china? Money.

Money talks.

This is a recent phenomenon btw. In the 90s and well into the 2000s, you could severely criticize china in elite universities, hollywood and online. Professors and college students were calling them "the butchers of beijing" for the tianamen square massacre. It's really been the last few years where china has been off limits.

Israel and saudi arabia have been off limits since I was born, so maybe someone older can shed some light on when they became off limits.

They don't have the appeal of a Tesla. Tesla fans seem to repeat the idea that car manufacturers don't want to make money. Luxury priced car with bare bones interior selling like hotcakes, why don't they make one?

Because the customers won't turn up, they aren't turning up for the bolt either. And say whatever about external looks, I don't believe that's why customers aren't turning up. It's the futuristic hype of Tesla and Elon musk, which is why he must harp on about autonomous cars which can go coast to coast in summon mode, or taking over manufacturing with alien dreadnaught. It is all a hype factory to keep up the high tech image, while the truth remains far from that image.
> Should a car company from China have to comply to US safety regulations when selling cars to US citizens?

In your example, the car company is implicitly selling to a foreign country. When it comes to software/websites, a user from a foreign country is incidentally served rather than implicitly.
I can't believe anyone can be so naive to write such things on mail and trust a news site to consider "off record" tag.
I always thought of Terry as somewhat of an anti-hero of the hacker community. Most of us know what it feels like to go down a rabbit hole building something technically impressive, yet ultimately useless, because the voices in our heads told us to. In this way, Terry seemed vaguely relatable. This is a tragic outcome and I hope his family can find some peace.
I've been waiting over a decade(s?) for someone to pull this off. Reverse engineering this is a great accomplishment.
Just one interesting point from Daniel Bell's The Coming of Post-Industrial Society, published in 1973, was that post-industrial society would require a vast network connecting everyone, and thing, together.
I wanted to admire Elon. It is honestly sad to see what's happening. I hope he finds a way out of this. As a person.
I also hope he resigns as the CEO of Tesla, it will be better for him and for the company, I think.
The effects of this are easiest to see with online recipes; the highest ranking recipes are all thousand word ramblings with a recipe tacked on at the end. Google sees you spent more time on the site (i.e. wasted scrolling) and thinks you were more 'engaged.'

...is an absolute majority of your news stations owned by one mega-corp?

These are commonly "electric system warranties."

But then again, these aren't quite at the level of the clearcoat... anyone who's ever had an electrical gremlin knows how expensive diagnosing those can be.

When your brake squeals, any mechanic can figure out what part to replace. When your battery slowly drains over two days, it is much more labor intensive to figure out what part is responsible or where on the wire harness there's a short...

Ethical products don't spy on users. Fairphone uses Android, so it isn't entirely ethical.
I enjoy the Go authors' attempts to propose novel or innovative solutions to existing problems, without going straight towards the status quo, but I do wonder if sometimes they're trying too hard.

At risk of cargo culting or not knowing enough about the problem space, I can only think of what I've recently read from The Psychology of Computer Programming^0. The entire reason that generics and error handling are difficult is because of the decision to avoid a syntax table.

This to me feels like an artificial constraint because the Go authors are optimising for compiler simplicity and not developer ergonomics. So the developer has to parse a whole lot more because the compiler guys don't want to take a hit. The reason why generics are such a pain in the ass, and errors are such a pain in the ass, is because the emotional attachment to how Go currently runs and what it stands for is still far more powerful than any attempt to innovate on the language's own status quo.

So what Cheney says makes some sense in that in a lot of ways, it feels more intuitive than implementing language grammar that isn't executed but looks like real code. But at the same time, the whole debate is basically around how to change go without changing it.

Either do it or don't.

Basically, Valve released something that they want to look like it's supported by Khronos. And this trick worked - now everybody believes it to be a Khronos product.
> That's just Tesla being crap at inventory management

My knee-jerk reaction is to respond that "Well every part they make is going into a new car, they don't have the capacity yet to keep up with production while building spare parts"

But after more thinking, I think you're right. They should prioritize at least having enough spare parts on hand so that people aren't waiting months for new body panels. I think pleasing the people who already have a car in their possession is more important than getting cars to more customers. People on the wait list already know they're going to wait a while, but having to wait an excessively long time for replacement parts creates a very negative user experience and I think is more likely to lead to order cancellations.
I hope they dont go that way. The amount of engineering effort required to do that would be immense and it would be a constant game of playing catch up to android to ensure that all APKs work.

Disclaimer: Views expressed here are my own and do not have anything to do with my employer.
Many dealers, such as AutoNation, sell multiple brands of car. It is much easier for the dealer to decide to push, say, Porsche over Mercedes than it is for Mercedes to replace the dealer.

Mercedes really can't afford to piss off these dealers.
I'm not entirely sure why this is upsetting me so much, but I think it has to largely to do with empathy.

While I'm nowhere as severe as Terry, I do suffer from manic depression (bipolar II), and if it weren't for the support of friends and family I'm certain I would have offed myself years ago.

Terry suffered from an illness, but he was undoubtedly a smart guy. TempleOS and HolyC, even if they were niche, are certainly interesting projects, and aren't something that any lay-person could make.

While I'm relatively certain that his racist profanity-filled posts are how he's going to be remembered, I'll try and think of him as a misguided and misunderstood person who needed more help than society was really able to provide.
