It's useful in a ton of situations, here are just a few examples:

In a cardiac arrest patient, it's useful to know if the heart is actually moving or not (i.e. you may be seeing electrical signals on an EKG, but the heart isn't physically responding). It's also useful to look for a buildup of fluid around the heart, called cardiac tamponade (which squeezes the heart and prevents it from working effectively).

In trauma patients, a "focused assessment with sonography for trauma" or "FAST scan" is a quick way to check the common sources of major internal bleeding (which can provide useful guidance for treatment decisions in a very time sensitive setting).

It's also useful for "routine" stuff like the placement of IVs. Ultrasound can be used to positively identify and locate veins that are otherwise difficult to feel through the skin.

Billboard advertising is expected to see record spending this year
> fundamental right to generate revenue based on advertising.

What? Who's talking about rights here? Especially to a business model? That's a strange interpretation and companies are free to do what they want. Advertising is itself a business model, and marketing (of which advertising is a subset) is critical to the commercial success of pretty much every corporation that exists.

The biggest issue with directly negotiated ad campaigns is scale. Unless you are a major publisher, no advertiser is going to spend time dealing with small buys across multiple small sites, which is the whole point of small sites using ad networks that can aggregate and streamline demand and optimize yield. Also much of that 3rd party javascript is for measurement. Digital ads require accurate metrics and the industry won't be going back to blind buys with no visibility and only the publishers promise.
So when your collie starts herding the cats, it's not a problem with the dog.

I must have missed the part in the article where folks complained about herding breeds herding things. Of the examples I read, all were much more destructive behaviors and if they are “breed traits”, they are undesirable ones.

The front end team at my last company was pretty pissed that they spent months migrating to Angular and then learned that Angular 2 was not backwards compatible.

They were hoping that by going to Angular they were buying in to a platform that would serve them for years, but that was not the case. That’s a huge deal. Why should they trust Angular ever again?

I suspect the Angular 2 debacle was a big factor in moving React ahead of Angular.
What they said, I worked for an outfit with a similar plan (lower max. out of pocket, though). They were self-insured, though, and the latest year I have data for, it was about $20K/year for health coverage.

Elektro the Moto-Man Had the Biggest Brain at the 1939 World’s Fair
I had a minor epiphany last week. I (instinctively) switched my stance from "hey we need to do something about climate change" to "I need to work to protect me and my family when shit hits the fan". Then it dawned me. I'm a small, insignificant human, yet I'm taking a selfish stance on the problem. The people who can actually change something, that is, the people with some kind of power, probably think in the exact same manner: their energy is dedicating to saving their asses when it goes South, not to solve the problem.

We're fucked.
The point of small sites using ad networks is for ad networks to make a lot of money on many small sites in aggregate. The amount of money each small site gains from this is tiny and unimportant.

> sure, but the employer doesn't pay any tax on this type of benefit, whereas we would both face additional taxes if they simply paid me more.

That argument seems like the equivalent of wasting money just for a tax deduction. You are right in a way though: if a single-payer plan is financed through progressive taxation or a payroll tax with no or a sufficiently high cap, higher earners will end up paying more than under the current system while lower earners will pay less.

> all i'm pushing back on is the original statement that "people should demand an end to private insurers". people who don't get insurance through their employer and/or can't afford it themselves should probably oppose private insurance.

Unless you get sick, are unable to work as a result, exhaust FMLA (if available), and can't get coverage through a spouse or parent (if under 26). Then hopefully you've got the savings or disability insurance to pay for COBRA (under which you have to pay the full premium your employer is currently paying) and/or Marketplace insurance in the interim, or you're stuck with Medicaid. Even worse, most Marketplace plans have narrow networks, so you may find that you're not able to keep some of your doctors -- particularly the specialists you're likely to need for an extended illness. Medicaid is even worse, because the reimbursement rates are so low.

And hopefully none of that happens to a loved one, who may not be in the relatively good position you are.

And that's ignoring the moral argument in favor of, well, not allowing people to die in a supposedly first-world country because they can't afford healthcare.

> * Less discrimination against old veterans: PG had once mentioned that he typically doesn't prefer people who have worked for 10 years at BigCo because a true founder would have left long ago out of frustration. I think this is misguided line of thinking ...

Great point - I have thought of doing a startup. I am even "worse" in terms of experience, 20 years at big companies, in various leadership roles the last 10 years - no I'm not a vp or president.

But I could even self fund my company for a few years. Being in Seattle I probably have less connection with startups than in SF, but I have even worked for two! I did do some early stage funding for a friend's company that eventually failed. As an experienced person who has been fortunate, I could actually work for free for a few years, and could provide early funding for my company. I can actually tolerate risk - how come this isn't an area of attraction for vc funding?

Also worth noting that self-funded plans will have their premiums set based on the plan's actual claims experience, which means employers with a sicker risk pool will pay more. This also encourages discrimination against older or unhealthy/disabled workers, since they statistically cost more. (This is illegal, but it happens all the time and is hard to prove.)
His first lecture is good in that he outlines how neural nets are trained to recognize. E.g., can train a network to recognize cats, dogs, and parrots or some such.

IMHO his material on linearity is somewhat interesting but avoids the common approach that what is linear is a function. The usual definition goes, function f is linear provided

f(ax + by) = af(x) + bf(y)

for appropriate cases of a, b, x, y. In linear algebra, commonly f is a matrix, a and b are numbers in a field, usually the real or complex numbers, and x and y are vectors.

Linearity continues quite broadly in math, especially analysis and geometry. One text by G. F. Simmons stated that the two pillars of analysis in math were linearity and continuity.

It appears that after the first lecture, the course is heavily from a paper he and some others wrote on something of a software architecture to ease writing software for the computing for training neural networks.

His architecture is based on his definition of associative arrays which
seem to be one, if you will, data structure which can take data from, be regarded as generalizations of, spreadsheets, matrices, maybe usually sparse, some graphs (that is, nodes connected by arcs), etc. For the associative arrays, he defines operations that generalize addition and multiplication of matrix theory, etc. and shows that the operations obey a distributive law that he regards as the key to linearity.

Then the general, infrastructure (interface) software layer is supposed to be small and easy to write.

Some of his examples of anomaly detection from "big data" (it really was big) are impressive.

His framework might significantly help the productivity of building and using neural networks.

First cut, it looks like the main interests in neural networks have been for recognition of speech and images, but his examples likely provide good evidence of other significant application areas.

As might expect from Lincoln Labs, he's fully serious and not just fooling around or pushing hype.

His lecture notes and writing are relatively good.

He has a textbook available at Amazon.

For just the course materials, he has a ZIP file download of 35,802,178 bytes that from just one use of a standard UNZIP command expands into about 640 files/directories (the number of files/directories of his course on my disk is 640 and nearly all of those are from the UNZIP command). Among the many files are some well done PDF files.

He does admit that it is not known why neural networks work as well as they do.
It's a graphics API designed for early-1990s needs. It's missing things we expect today like 30-bit colour support and all-VRAM memory (GDI was hardware accelerated but they gimped it in Windows Vista to ensure compatibility with the DWM).

When working with Win32 it just isn't possible to avoid having to use GDI, for example dealing with painting to a window surface Win32 will give you a GDI device context by default - for example, similarly handling Win32 messages like WM_PAINT uses parts of the GDI API. Finally, each process on Windows has a limited number of GDI objects it can use as well. Oh, and using GDI/GDI+ in a service context (e.g. ASP.NET or a Windows Service, is not supported: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/dsui_team/2013/04/16/using-...)

Direct2D is nice - but setting it up in your code isn't easy - and Microsoft does not maintain an up-to-date C#/.NET library for Direct2D.
Even beating it by an order of magnitude doesn't automatically guarantee enough to matter, does it?

Not saying that is exactly the same here. Just extending the question on the impact if this.

Japan’s Mothers Go Back to Work, but Find the Opportunities Lacking
The easiest way to find an underserved niche is to find a beloved series that died, or has been on life support for 10+ years with devs that just continuously drop the ball and can't recreate the magic.

See: Stardew Valley, Cities Skylines, etc.

I'm very keen to see how Ready or Not does, when it releases. Everyone I know who played SWAT 4 back in the day loves it, and there hasn't been a comparable game since.

To throw out an example of an "available" niche: I think the first dev to bring out a modern version of Need For Speed: Underground, with decent car physics (similar to something like Grid: Autosport), is going to strike an absolute gold mine. NFS was literally all anybody at school talked about for years and years when U1, U2 and MW were coming out. Every game since has been complete rubbish, the new ones have physics so bad it feels like you're just gliding around on a magic carpet with a car body attached to it.

They surely have both the capability and data to thwart this type of fraud. There are only two possibilities that I can think of.

One is that it's a business decision, where they know these cases may exist but they took the decision that it's not worth the extra overhead. Second possibility is that it's an oversight, essentially a "bug" in the system.

Either way, it appears that Google had not yet identified this as a serious problem.

I give credit to them for having a Transparency Report so that others can pick up fraud and abuse which they themselves may not have already found to have been a problem; an essential safeguard. I also view projects such as Lumen as being of increasing importance.

I think the person you're replying to meant that men and women earn exactly the same salary, but childcare means that a person doesn't work or works small jobs part-time, meaning that their income goes down.

Employers do not pay women less just because they can have children one day. In fact, young women earn more, on average, than young men.

They publish a ton of stuff and are some of the biggest media properties on the Internet. Other publishers like the NYT or the BBC also do writeups of A/B tests and lessons, but they're such small fry I didn't want to mention them. And if 'page loads harm user retention' is worth publishing, 'ads harm user retention' definitely is and they are exactly the companies best placed to find that out.

Are you making this to sell as a fun game, or as something you'd put into a portfolio to advertise yourself to employers?

If you're trying to sell games, your site focuses on all the wrong things.

1) I need a reason to want to play. Some games present themselves as a challenge to overcome (e.g. Volgarr the Viking, Dustforce), while others have some kind of interesting narrative or world to explore (e.g. Metroid/Binding of Isaac.) Some games promise comedy (e.g. Enter the Gungeon.) I can't tell what your hook is. Weapon customization and survival are fine game mechanics, but they're not a reason for me to want to play all by themselves.

2) Artistic theme. Games that age well have a cohesive look-and-feel. My initial impression of your game's theme is "asset store default." Maybe you didn't use an asset store, but that certainly is my first impression

3) When I hear "procedurally generated exploration" I have a negative reaction. It is incredibly difficult to do well, and when done any way other than well, it becomes boring and repetitive almost immediately. On your site, I am given no reason to believe it was done well.

These three things, taken together, mean that I probably wouldn't play your game even if it were offered to me for free with no strings attached.
if I suspected my services were being manipulated by fraudulent activities, for potential political influence, I might just pay out enough rope for fraudsters to hang themselves by.

Wow. We live in a world where people will drive off docks or down boat launches and end up in a lake because their GPS said that was the way to go.

In such a world purveyors of navigation aids really need to assume that there is no such thing as "obviously wrong".

I would think that what we would want in a system that assigns to physical locations elements of a sequence that has a natural ordering is to have the property that elements of the sequence that are near each other in that ordering correspond to physical locations that are near each other.

You can do such mappings using fractals. Here is an XKCD that shows such a mapping of the internet, associating with each internet address a place on the plane such that any group of consecutive IP addresses maps to a compact region in the plane: https://xkcd.com/195/

The same principle would work with a what3words-like mapping where the ordering is alphabetic ordering.
You could argue that a system written in a language that permits such errors is not well-thought out. The terms you're using are not well-defined, so it's easy to disagree endlessly without arriving at a useful insight.

From Fledgling Founder to 7-Figure Deals with Stephanie Hurlburt of Binomial

Stephanie Hurlburt (@sehurlburt) shares the story of how she went from being an employee to being half of a 2-person startup that sells software to gaming companies, and all the steps in between. Learn how she quit her job, met her cofounder, landed lucrative contracting gigs, built a product, learned about sales, and stayed sane while doing it.
I think we middle-aged/older geeks like to harked back to a time when you could drill a hole in the corner of a Double Density floppy disk and it would work fine as a High Density floppy. Subverting the dominant paradigm and sticking it to Big Floppy 1.44MB at a time!

But seriously, the reason these Amazotrash sellers get away with it is in part due to consumers not actually needing top of the line stuff. So, if you thought you needed 1000 lumen, but in reality you only needed 500 lm, and then get tricked into buying a torch advertising "5000 lm", but it does the job and has extra modes, plus a bike mount, you kinda come out ahead. It also coexists with that old marketing trick used in movie theater concession sizes to get people to spend more than they intended. (Which is the best deal: S: $5, M:$10, L: $12? Most people would opt for medium, but large is only $2 more (at nearly zero cost to the theater).

From that perspective, most of the counterfeits are better because you could either afford more of them or afford counterfeits of higher priced versions. Looking to buy a legit 16GB flash drive for $15, but find a seller with what you think is a legit 32GB version for $15? If it's not broken and actually has 32GB, but is slightly slower than the brand one that was faster than you really needed anyways, seems like a win for you.
