This makes the most sense.

Consider how every industry can benefit from having a developer doing job automation, looking at data for optimization, or making new products.

The demand is ferocious.

I don't understand why developer wages are lower outside the US. Shouldnt developers everywhere be changing local industries?
I can confirm you can get data channels to work with zero SCTP extensions, I only added them afterwards!

One implementation (libusrsctp-based) you might want to interop with is rawrtc. Like aiortc's datachannel-cli example, it features copy-and-paste signaling which makes testing easy.

https://github.com/rawrtc/rawrtc

Lennart, rawrtc's author is very knowledgeable in all things DataChannels and active in the standardization process.
It's really quite simple and has little/nothing to do with fuel storage. The flagship electric car company can use a drive-train layout that gives them more space for impact absorption and they can take full advantage of this in their vehicle design because they do not have to accommodate ICE vehicles on the same platform.
I don't really get it "let's escape to an island" when sea levels are going to rise and hurricanes are going to get worse?

Individuals only care about efficiency if it impacts price.

There are numerous examples of people paying more for things in the long term because they're less expensive immediately. Entire industries are built on this. Again, humans aren't particularly good at forecasting long-term decisions.

Additionally, The VAST majority of emission decrease in the past 10 years in the US has been due to moving from coal to shale gas, not because of individual purchasing decisions. It's iterative movement that was caused by a combination of market forces and government regulations, not one or the other on its own (and the current administration is actually reversing many regulations that promoted shale gas over coal).

Renewables still don't even touch the impacts of moving from coal to shale gas.
> "Scientists have been hysterical about global cooling in the past and that has not happened. Therefore claims about climate change in general are not to be believed."

a. Not a climate denier

b. I never said anything like you are referring to. I never inferred that since its cooling, climate change shouldn't be believed.

c. What I AM saying is the earth's temperature has swung in both directions in a fairly cyclical manner for thousands of years before heavy industry. The earth's temperature warmed when there weren't ANY humans on the planet.

Even going back some 1.2 milion years, scientists still are not sure what caused the change:

"The Mid Pleistocene Transition is a most important and enigmatic time interval in the more recent climate history of our planet," says Fischer. Earth's climate naturally varies between times of warming and periods of extreme cooling (ice ages) over thousands of years. Before the transition, the period of variation was about 41 thousand years while afterwards it became 100 thousand years. "The reason for this change is not known."

I would also add the Clean Air Act has done a ton to improve the US and the amount of pollution they contribute.

https://www.epa.gov/clean-air-act-overview/progress-cleaning...

We as a country can do a lot, but what about other developing countries? What are they doing to help reduce pollution and greehouse gases? If we're doing all we can, and other countries aren't following suit, then our gains become minimal and the march towards this catastrophe will continue, unabated.
And that's just factually and verifiably false.
The Av Package: Production Quality Video in R
Just like if you were going to learn Python for Deep Learning, you're going to need 3 things:

1. Understanding of Deep Learning

2. General familiarity with the language

3. Understanding of packages/tools that will help you accomplish your goals. If this were python we'd be talking Numpy/TensorFlow/PyTorch/Keras/etc.

We're talking C++, I'm guessing you'll want to work with less abstraction than TF and the like, so BLAS, LAPACK, and maybe the whole CUDA family (CUDA, cuBLAS, cuDNN, etc).

Otherwise, TensorFlow, Caffe, CNTK, and other popular deep learning frameworks are available for C++, even though they might be better known and more heavily used in other languages.
Good point. And the fact that it's posted by a VC might have something to do with the content of the advice.

To call this "cheating", you have to assume that car manufacturers are more knowledgeable about car safety in general than NHTSA, to be able to spot the loopholes. It may be true, they have more resources to invest in research and to hire experts in this domain, after all.

Still, I prefer to follow Hanlon's razor, and not assume malice. This kind of mistake always seem obvious in hindsight, but if it was, why was there no one warning about it at the time?

wasm makes using a statically-typed language possible in web applications. For those that have embraced JS, that may not be compelling but for those of us that prefer strong, static typing it is a positive development.
That's actually not the reason at all.

Well, the only gate from $500k a year to financially independent is spending. In my current situation, if I made that much I would happily retire with an improved standard of living in about a year. But I also value financial independence above most other things, so I'm spending less than 1/10th of that per year.

Spanish Association of Startups ‘requests More Ambition’ from Prime Minister
Being remote helps InVision build better products because it forces us to use our own tools.

You mentioned that it's much easier for people to grab a colleague in person and show them something on a whiteboard versus having a virtual meeting - and use this to conclude that it's easier to build products in person versus remotely. Perhaps this is true, and perhaps it isn't true; but as a virtual company InVision is forced to find product solutions to these problems, which leads to innovation. That's how being a remote company helps us build better products.

To continue with the whiteboarding example: We created a tool called Freehand that allows you to have virtual whiteboarding sessions that are more flexible than physical whiteboards. Multiple people can whiteboard at the same time, which is harder in person. You can add comments to the whiteboard, create shapes, use colors, and more. Freehands are saved, so you can look back on them later more easily than a physical whiteboard. I think it's more powerful than an actual physical whiteboard and have seen non-remote companies adapt it. You can try it out yourself at: https://freehand.invisionapp.com/

Obviously, not everything about our product is perfect today, but I hope this explains how being remote leads to product innovation.

Disclosure: Obviously, I work at InVision.

I never knew Google rotated through that many employees...
I am actually surprised the FAA was so tolerant of drones for so long. Commercial drone operators are for more regulation because they know the day some dope flies a drone into an approaching aircraft it will cause more draconian responses.

Meanwhile there are millions of unguided medium sized drones flying around airports and everywhere (Birds). I think the 400ft line of sight rule is plenty safe because short of aircraft taking off or making a final approach there aren't aircraft in this zone (Or should there be as flying so low would give a plane very little time to react to an engine failure.) If drones hitting people in the heads becomes a big issue, terrestrial laws are better to handle that. Generally besides areas very close to airports the FAA shouldn't be regulating <400ft AGL.
I guess 4chan is one of the most valuable tech startups of the last decade or two.

Or maybe there are other metrics that matter.
Again, that's breaches, not vulnerabilities. Literally every company has vulnerabilities.

What's the Longest Word You Can Write with Seven-Segment Displays?
Very good insight. If you think about it, Google benefits from proliferation of third party websites, thus cloud business is synergetic with Google search. Facebook and Google+ are competitive with Google search since they centralize the web.

For many, Google search reduced to a search engine for Wikipedia and StackOverflow and a couple of other big sites. This poses a long-term threat for search.

Yeah, I remember that, and I didn't intend my post here to be a detailed "analysis" of the entirety of what happened with G+. I just wanted to respond to one particular point that the author of the Google post made, vis-a-vis "developer adoption".

It would be fun to spend some time doing a more detailed analysis of the whole thing, including all of that historical context, but I don't have the time right now.

I won't argue about the structure of segregation in Chicago. But in terms of the travel, I live in Bridgeport, which is on the south side, and take the Red Line downtown. I have never once heard a bad word from anyone on the crowded train, and I am often the only painfully white person in the car. I have no hesitation about walking around the neighborhood, or anywhere downtown.

My experience is vastly different from yours. I have lived in the Chicago area for many decades, and two years here in Bridgeport (not far from Sox Park).
As a dad of two twenty-somethings, I’d recommend spending a bit of time acquiring good photographic skills (if you don’t already have them) and especially basic portrait lighting. This will allow you to take fewer, better pictures. Which is directly related to the notion of making sure your documentation process maximizes your unfettered dad time. A few ideas that I’m really glad I did: 1) take a good natural (ie informal, unposed)portrait each birthday. 2) Audio or video record a brief “birthday interview” with age appropriate questions. 3) read/tell stories every available night before bedtime and, occasionally, record yourself telling them (covertly). As they grew older, my boys loved hearing stories from my childhood and they asked good questions in their squeaky child voices. It’s so cool to listen to those now.
Is it? Commercial flight isn't that much more dangerous in other developed countries.

Also, the FAA does grandfather in a lot of stuff. If the Cessna 172 was invented today, the FAA would never allow it to carry passengers or get near populated areas.

Lastly, I'm not sure if modern passenger jets would be allowed in the same way if invented today. The FAA would probably restrict them within 100 miles of urban areas. After all, what if people tried to crash them into buildings?
My cofounder and I worked together from cafes on nights and weekends, but also did a whole lot of remote collaboration, in our first couple of years. We did a 3-month summer accelerator where we were f2f every day early on, as well. But when that was over, we switched back to mostly remote collaboration. For the bulk of our first 2 years of operation (which was really a bootstrapping period), we worked mostly over the web. This despite the fact we were both in/around NYC. But, he was based in Manhattan at the time and I was in Astoria, Queens, so we'd save ourselves the trouble of meeting up f2f, though occasionally would co-work together.

I think what you'll find is that in the founding period, f2f can help a whole lot, and, of course, if you are pitching for fundraising or enterprise clients, you almost always need to do some f2f visiting with people. So, don't be religious about it. But for "the work itself" (e.g. code, design, writing) there is no need to be colocated.
The larger the company the more they roll over and give up on new initiatives. There are a lot of things Google plus could have done, such as when searching on Google save the link publicly to Google plus similar to how Youtube works for videos. At least it is easier if you have a startup and someone says what if Google comes into your space... you can point to all the times Google gives up just because things need more innovation. Google wants to hit a home run every time up to the plate and they forget you have to play in the Minor Leagues and prove you are worth moving up.
Echo Show 2018 review: Seeing is believing, and there’s a lot more to see
It's not clear to me why calling into C++ is expensive to begin with. My best guess is it has to do with switching to a native stack (switching "folders"). So making the stub directly callable from the JIT means not having to change activations. Also presumably it uses the parameter passing conventions and semantics of all other JIT functions (whereas with a C++ function it presumably has to marshal the parameters to the function).
I think they are trying to spin it as a privacy-protecting move. This gains them two things:

1. They save face a little by not publicly confessing it was a failure.

2. Big tech (Facebook, Google, etc.) is facing privacy-related criticism right now. They can say, hey, this is yet one more step we're taking to improve the situation for everyone.

And they might even be partially right about both. Maybe they would have shut it down eventually but privacy challenges caused them to do it sooner than they otherwise would have.
A while ago my car got hit by car that had run a red light. It was a huge impact without any warning and I was pretty shaken (probably a concussion). When a cop asked me for my license I couldn't really compute this request and gave him random stuff from my wallet. He started shouting "Sir, show me your license" which I understood even less and kept giving him credit cards and library cards . Thank God another cop came by and pointed calmly to the thing in my wallet they wanted to see.

I can't even imagine how confused I would be if I had people yelling at me while I am in the shower.

This is a better article: https://techcrunch.com/2018/10/08/google-plus-hack/

Key takeaways:

* A security bug allowed third-party developers to access Google+ user profile data since 2015 until Google discovered and patched it in March, but decided not to inform the world.

* The company decided against informing the public because it would lead to “us coming into the spotlight alongside or even instead of Facebook despite having stayed under the radar throughout the Cambridge Analytica scandal” according to an internal memo.

* Google+ will cease all its consumer services while winding down over the next 10-months with an opportunity for users to export their data while Google refocuses on making G+ an enterprise product.

* The consumer version of Google+ currently has low usage and engagement: 90 percent of Google+ user sessions are less than five seconds.”
Currently it’s more the latter. If we had a full-fledged cap-and-trade law, there’d be more accountability in place. Right now you see where the money is going and decide whether you a) trust the organization b) feel confident that the project is going to be an effective offset.
I mean, if you choose to ungenerously parse it as "table stakes" being the important part of the comment instead of, yanno, that these things that are table stakes are the thing that people actually care about in that whole ball of features, sure?

> I'm looking forward to that day and when it comes.

That is the day where the open web is a little closer to dead. Possibly a lot closer. The move away from flash was a move towards empowering users. That did cost a little bit for developers, as they had worse tools to control the experience, but that also meant that it was more likely (eventually) that the experience they did develop would work in more cases. How many flash sites dealt with different size displays well, or dynamically resized and flowed correctly? How many worked with screen readers?

That's one of the benefits we've reaped by pushing the framework to the browser, and using open standards. Items that traditionally would haven't gotten much attention were also seen as important, and saw advances. I don't know how much some random React-like framework that just draws on the canvas would focus on screen reader support, but I suspect it wouldn't be high on their priority list. And even if it is on theirs, what about the 5 other main competitors that will be sharing market space with it?

I just hope that the sites that opt for these types of system are few and far between, and have specific operating needs that make it worthwhile. I think it's good that we can, but usually we shouldn't.
I don't know where you got that from. They got blocked and hacked.

Also, there are ethical considerations in everything. They don't disappear when profit is involved.
Gaming has multiple threads, but often is single-threaded bound due to Ahmdal's law.

Lets say you can split up your threads to AI, Physics, Rendering, Networking, etc. etc. But lets say Physics dominates: then your game is still single-threaded bound. You only get faster if you make your physics faster.

You can split your game up into work-queues, thread pools, and such. Except not everyone is up-to-date with the latest techniques yet. Furthermore, thread-pools aren't always cache friendly and may hamper your performance. (If Core1 works on something, then Core4 completes the work, you have to transfer all the data out of your L1 and L2 cache to continue working on it on Core4).

So its not exactly an easy thing to program.
IBM Pushes Beyond 7-nm, Uses Graphene to Place Nanomaterials on Wafers
Yeah, but Takata was a pretty major "exception" -- it resulted in the biggest safety recall in American history Even though all of its other competitors gave up on using cheap ammonium nitrate because of its inherent instability, Takata pushed forward, as if they had some magical engineering solution. This decision required years of deliberate delusion and coverup and denial of evidence. It was not just some blunder that was tragically overlooked.

Emscripten let you do that too, compiling to asm.js. WebAssembly certainly is an improvement, but it's not like you couldn't do this at all before.

And heck, even without that, there are languages that transpile directly to JavaScript.
Is this a joke?

G+ has been a laughingstock in terms of actual usage numbers for years. Nobody is using it. The fact that it was still supported is amazing. Is Google supposed to support failing products until the end of time?

I personally like the "server" and "apprtc" demos as you can easily talk to a browser. They illustrate slightly different things:

- "apprtc" relies on a third-party signaling service, and shows you how you can play media from a file / record it to a file, or generate video frame-by-frame.

- "server" shows you how you can combine media and signaling into a single Python-based server, and how you can apply image processing on the fly to the received video.

I agree with this, but I would offer that #3 is more an integration of #1 and #2 rather than a "learn", as your last sentence points out with "once you have done 1) and 2)".

So I believe you should more strongly recommend 1) and 2) and include what a later poster added about various frameworks: "BLAS, LAPACK, and maybe the whole CUDA family (CUDA, cuBLAS, cuDNN, etc)", see @madenine.

I've been curious about Montreal for some time now. Though given that we have a small toddler (age 3) moving is a lot more involved and more thoroughly planned out. I explored Montreal through Google Maps quite extensively, marking all the coffee shops/chocolate shops/restaurants/and parks that we might visit. I am curious about living there quite a lot and wonder if any other family has moved there in the tech field.

This is sort of, a new frontier of technologic disenchantment. On the one hand: public safety.

On the other hand, drones are a very decent means of inspiring people to go beyond the public, and explore the universe.
