I'm in Deep Learning research (e.g., you'd see me at NIPS, ICML or NIPS), so I don't have too much insight into the CV community. Thanks for sharing, interesting to know that they still rely on TF so much. As far as deep learning research goes, PyTorch is the clear winner by now. At least that's my subjective impression, but I also lack data. One recent data point is this one about frameworks used for ICLR 2019 submissions compared to the previous year: https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/9kys38/r_f... , which would suggest about parity in terms of usage: TensorFlow went from 228 mentions last year to 266 this year, Pytorch from 87 to 252. Considering that a large number of these submissions is from Alphabet (this NIPS 10% of the papers were from either Google or DeepMind, so ICLR will be similar), so they naturally use TF, meaning that PyTorch actually as a slight lead (actually less than expected, but still. At least the growth numbers are quite impressive).

I don't know why it has to? There are various regional powers South local spheres of influence, but there is only one global hegemon. And many of your examples did involve substantial US involvement (for instance, Saudi Arabia's campaign against Yemen could not continue without US support, and China entered the Korean War because Americans fought all the way through the Korean Peninsula up to their border... I'm not going to pick apart every single one here unless you think it would be instructive).
Liberal is supposed to mean “freedom.” When a government tells you what to do, that isn’t liberal. Of course there is a government and even classical liberals acknowledge the need for some government, but liberal really should mean a support of a government that provides for a common defense and has a court system that would provide for the enforcement of civil contracts. A “liberal” government doesn’t mandate actions of private entities unless those mandates are to protect the life, liberty or property of other individuals.

Mandating gender on corporate boards doesn’t protect any of that. Nobody has a right to serve on a board and not serving on a board isn’t threatening anyone’s right to pursue happiness or live their life as they see fit. In fact, it does the opposite: it imposes a requirement that limits the freedom of people to run their business how they see fit. Unless the running of that business infringes on the rights of others, the government really has no business with that sort of mandate. And the key to understanding this is that no person has a “right” to success or a right to a specific job — they have a right to pursue happiness, but not a right to actually be happy.

Progressivism is well-intentioned totalitarianism. There is nothing wrong with supporting progressivism, but let’s not pretend is has anything to do with liberalism.

This can be a problem with buildpacks, since you'd need one buildpack that has both the ruby and nodejs runtimes.

With Docker it is easy to make this work using multi-stage builds, I'm not sure if buildpacks account for this at all.
That's just a bad person, nothing to do with a business vs. a tech person.
Yes you need more electricity but that’s offset by reduced gasoline. And you lower your total energy consumption because electric cars are 3-4x as efficient.

Yes, this requires more energy infrastructure. But note that in the US the majority of new generation capacity added in the last few years has been renewable. And it’s not because we’ve passed any carbon tax, it’s because it’s now the most cost effective form. The bean counters love it.

And of that new generation capacity that is wind, the largest manufacturer of wind turbines is Vestas, a Danish company.
> Wi-Fi 6/802.11ax should last for a while, so I hope the Wi-Fi Alliance starts focusing on an actual long-range standard that's more of a competitor to LTE but that works in the unlicensed spectrum and for distances of 1km or longer.

These are totally conflicting goals. The reason LTE works at those ranges is that a cell tower puts out tens of watts, so that the size-optimized electronics in a phone can receive the signal at that range. That's tens of times more than the limit in the unlicensed band (1W).

Furthermore, the bane of the unlicensed band is that it's full of uncooperative signals. The hard power limit keeps a lid on that, minimizing the number of uncooperative signals any given receiver/transmitter pair has to contend with. Jacking up the range to a kilometer compounds that problem exponentially.

Physics hates mesh networks. To optimize performance, you need a single network (or at least cooperative networks) using each chunk of spectrum.
In California: "Gender identity is a person's understanding of their gender, or perception of their gender identity (which may include male, female, a combination of both, or neither of those), a gender differing from the one assigned at birth, or transgender."

So it's essentially whatever the individual defines their gender to be. A person can have their gender changed by court order on various documents if certain criteria are met; federal documents are more difficult to change than CA-issued documents.
In addition to the scarcity of what I'd call "deep dive" materials, companies like Facebook and Google are frequently trying to encourage platform adoption.

MOOCs for purely pedagogical reasons are sometimes hard to find in ML, not only for the aforementioned reasons, but creating a MOOC is simply resource intensive. It follows that many of the producers that truly value education are actual universities. Hybrid models like Coursera and Udacity are still trying to figure out how to get out of the red.

All of this to say that I'm still very grateful for content creators who go beyond simple framework tutorials.
I think this is a pretty solid summary.

Clound Native Buildpacks are based on a very well-proved model. Heroku do this at massive scale. So does Pivotal, so do many of our various customers and customers of other buildpack-using systems like Deis.
Not always true. Some companies will rather destroy product rather than undercut themselves (it's a conscious strategy, especially for luxury items).

> “There have been numerous objections to this bill, and serious legal concerns have been raised,” Brown said. “I don’t minimize the potential flaws that indeed may prove fatal to its ultimate implementation. Nevertheless, recent events in Washington, D.C. — and beyond — make it crystal clear that many are not getting the message.”

Why do people so often assume -- as Brown has here -- that more women in power will lead to progressive outcomes?

41% of women voted for Donald Trump. 37% of women currently approve of his performance. These numbers are lower than men, it's true, but not that much lower (52% and 45%, respectively).

Even though more women believe Ford than men, there is little difference in opposition to Kavenaugh by gender: https://www.politico.com/story/2018/10/01/poll-kavanaugh-for...

Many progressives seem to view women as a voting bloc that will ensure left-leaning results. The numbers do not support this view.
If you are interested in learning more about psychedelics, and their context in 2018, I'd recommend UC Berkeley Professor Michael Pollan's latest book "How to Change Your Mind". It is a really nice, easy to read primer on the topic, and his experience with psychedelics. He approaches the topic with a scientific yet accessible tone, and he asks and answers lots of good questions. Pollan interviews many of the people mentioned in this New York Times article.

One thing that really sours me in esm is that this is possible (fictional main.js):

import Vue from 'vue'
import jQuery from 'jquery'
global.jQuery = jQuery // to get the next line to
work
import Bootstrap from 'bootstrap'
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css'

Then my head explodes. Why would importing a .css file from my JavaScript ever be a thing supported by any tooling. What is that line trying to communicate? What does it even mean to my current scope? (hint: nothing)

import became a giant "do something cool on this line" that maybe the tooling you're using knows how to translate via (say) a webpack loader.

For anyone wondering, that line gets translated to the browser dynamically including css on the page.

Gymnasts, martial artists, ballet dancers and some athlets (e.g. javelin throwers) stretch to increase their range of motion because the latter is beneficial for their activities. The effect is temporary (+) unless you start at a young age and ruin your joints (-> China). If you don't belong to those groups, stretching doesn't do much for you, as has been repeatedly pointed out in various publications. The other benefits attributed to stretching, e.g. a lower risk for injuries, are actually caused by the warming-up effect of the stretching movements and can be also achieved, in a much safer way!, by some simple exercises.

(Side note: When talking about the benefits of stretching, some people also mention Yoga, but that's a different story and 99.999% of Yoga teachers and practitioner don't have the slightest idea what they are doing.)

(+) That's the reason why you have the impression that you are stiff when you skip stretching for one or two days.

I'm largely self-taught, supplemeted by my recently obtained CS Bachelors. I have some professional experience independently designing and implementing web applications, both on the frontend (with Vue, Vuetify, and Bootstrap) and the backend (with PHP, mySQL, and node.js to a lesser extent).

Sorry, parent poster: Gotta agree w/ above comment here. With the minor warning that the unit tests are included in this. In a good environment, I should be able to go to the tests to understand not only WHAT the code is doing but WHY it's doing it. No matter how 'mature' the code base is.

I bet these are built with 74HCxx ICs, which are not TTL whatsoever; in fact they are CMOS.
4G's sticking point is speed. Specifically, the ITU-R IMT Advanced proposal requires several things, of which, today, are easy to meet. What wasn't easy was 100mbit peak speeds for mobile users, gigabit peak speeds for fixed users.

WiMAX in a lot of markets is not 4G, but neither is LTE in a lot of markets. In other words, a lot of markets do not, and seemingly never will, have 4G as defined by IMT Advanced. I live in a market that is LTE, is sold to me as 4G, will never meet 4G requirements.

WiMAX was developed with proposals like IMT Advanced in mind: ability to have MIMO, all IP packet switching (non-VoLTE LTE networks cannot ever qualify to be called a 4G network due to this, btw), 20mhz and higher channel widths, and spectral efficiency above a certain level (which put a lower limit on how big your modem's DSP has to be due to coding techniques), forwards and backwards compatibility of future specs, and smooth handover between heterogeneous technology (ie, tower to home femtocell and back). WiMAX's original specification (802.16e-2005, which was based on the original 802.16 spec from 2001) met the IMT Advanced requirements.

LTE was not developed from day one to do this, and did not really meet the requirements until LTE-Advanced. The original LTE specification (3GPP release 8 (2008); LTE-A was defined in release 10 (2011); LTE-A Pro was defined in release 13/14 (2016/2017); additions to LTE-A Pro for 5G (but does not meet 5G yet) were added to release 15 (2018)) fell short of the speed requirement.

What makes this all interesting is, WiMax could do fixed modems 10 years before LTE-A added it, was "true 4G" (as how ITU-R defines it now due to how everyone rushed to muddy the definition with HSPA+ and whatnot) 3 years before LTE was, and is currently the only protocol that has hope of deploying gigabit to fixed users currently (via 802.16m-2011/802.16-2012 aka WiMax 2 or WiMax-Advanced).

Also, they're trying to sell LTE as 5G, I've already seen ads saying 600/700mhz support is 5G (it is not, although it is welcome), just like how they tried to sell highest order (2x2 MIMO with dual cell and widest channels) HSPA+ as 4G (which would be more correctly be described as 3.5G, as newest spec LTE would be best described as 4.5G).

Modern car companies fundamentally do 3 things: make engines, make transmissions, and assembly parts into cars. Nearly everything else is outsourced. These are all expensive complex things that little companies cannot make. They don't make their own seats, alternators, tires... (Honda is an exception to the above rule in general).

That’s the nature of dynamic systems. You probably cannot tease those apart.

The overall point is that there has always been a drive to push people into cities (otherwise they’d collapse due to mortality rates). The overall rate of urbanism and urban change has fluctuated over the millenia, but it’s hardly new in any meaningful way.

Hence my assertion that anyone living close to a growing metropolis should not be surprised if the density overtakes them.

They might not like it, that’s perfectly reasonable. But expecting things to not change in your area only is actually quite unreasonable in the long run.

> If I have to ask myself "should I send it?", the answer is no.

Exactly.
This was literally exactly what I was about to say. I tried Perch out a few months ago and I feel like this is similar... although, much more refined. I have huge respect for the people behind Perch, so I'm definitely keeping tabs there.

Honestly, I'm excited for Vapid. I've always loved implementing CMS systems. WordPress is great, with undoubtably the largest community of plugins and templates, and like the new Gutenberg editor... but I'm also starting to fall in love with the JAMstack model (i.e. Netlify, Headless CMS). Simply pushing commits to Github and sitting back. Netlify Forms is nice and easy, but their CMS sucks IMHO. Which is why I'm excited for something like Vapid. It fills that void I'm feeling.

I can picture myself spinning out all these nice custom CMS websites for clients and maybe building some custom browser plugins to make it so easy for clients (like how Tipe.io does). That feels like the future / next level.
I think this kind of comparison is silly, but the US has been at war essentially non-stop since WWII and carries out overt and covert military action in scores of countries every year. We're currently bombing seven countries. We've also empowered numerous client states as they slaughtered their domestic opposition or regional rivals and armed various violent rebel groups in the hopes that they'd overthrow unfriendly governments. Sanctions, a de rigeur form of punishment against hostile governments, is specifically intended to gin up internal unrest by subjecting civilians to privation, and they literally kill people (especially children). I'm not sure we can call it the most violent ever to have existed, but the least violent seems like a stretch.

This article provides neither. In fact most the academic work underpinning is very shooty.

Hmm. Good point.

One question though, are there farmers out there who are not taking the famed agricultural subsidies we give out? Because if there are, (even if there are not that many such farmers), I think those guys should be able to monetize their "ugly" produce or fruit all they want. They're not being supported by tax money at all.

But yes, if we are subsidizing a farmer, we certainly have the right to oblige him to give his scraps to us so we can feed our masses. There's nothing unreasonable about that. After all, we're only talking about the little food he's able to sell only to the guys who literally only take "scraps".
