As I understand it, they are essentially very different technologies. GraphQL focuses on providing a DSL for requesting subsets of data from a web endpoint that "talks" JSON. gRPC-Web is just a wrapper around gRPC so that you can expose your RPC endpoints in a front-end friendly manner.

In other words: GraphQL is akin to SQL, while gRPC-Web would be closer to a serialization/exchange format like XML/SOAP.

This is as they say in yes minister "not readily believable"
Premature deindustrialization might not necessarily be a bad thing. "Premature" is a judgement. Why is putting fossil carbons buried deep down the earth for millions of years up in the air in a matter of decades a "mature" anything?

Developing countries directly went to cell phones without going via landlines. There could be another way. There should be another way. That is if we are to sustain 10 billion people to the same standard of life as the West without the fossil fuel disadvantage.
Great news but I have to ask. Maybe someone here can share their view/opinion about the market and what’s going on.

Musk can’t tweet about going private. So a major short seller sue him and Tesla. Stock ”crash” during two months. Short seller completly turn around and now long the stock which rises A DAY before this report?

Eyebrows should be raised so high everyone go bald. Where Will this end with SEC? And How is this not manipulation from both sides?

I have two dogs that shed and was hoping a robot vacuum cleaner would save us a ton of time. I also thought our house was ideal for a robot vacuum cleaner (all wood floors except some low-pile rugs) and my wife and I are very clean and consistent about picking up, but it turned out not to be the case. I bought a high-end robot vacuum (Neato D5) and used it every day for a week. It got stuck every time it cleaned, couldn't clean the whole house without a charge cycle, and I had to empty the bin on it at least two times per cleaning.

Other than the fact that it was unattended, the robot vacuum was significantly worse than a regular vacuum. So I'd say there's still a ton of room for improvement and innovation in the robot vacuum market.
It's only a terrible choice if you do not think about cooling the batteries, and having some physical protection against runaway thermal effects.

If you do, suddenly that empty space becomes precious.

The fact that other carmakers started using it is a good sign.
Before dreaming on, why not make a Roomba that actually works.

I have an older Roomba and a newer BotVac, and the BotVac is slightly more clever, but it's about 10% chance that I won't find it bleeping helplessly on some new minor obstruction that it found. It's impossible to have a house where there are absolutely no cables, dropped socks, dropped toys, rugs, furniture with "tank stopper" properties, curtains that are slightly too low, etc, etc.

When my vacuum cleaner can untangle itself, I will pay silly money for something that takes care of my laundry.

After that, something that loads, unloads and sorts my dishwasher would be nice, but nothing comes close to pairing socks...
I don't think Apple are behind on the tech for VR/AR. They have the pretty much everything they need in place to release a mobile VR or AR device when they choose to.

They've probably already got the AR developer mindshare, and no-one is near them for mass adoption of mobile wearable tech (watch+ear buds).
I applied to YC for the first time after attending Startup School.

They said they would release the outcomes of who got in or not at 10pm PST. Instead it started to trickle in some 3 hours later. During that period the Slack channels had entrepreneurs panicking about whether they got in or not. Some even talking about suicide. And apparently this happens every, single time.

I have lost any and all respect for YC and the partners who claim they represent the interests of founders.

Founders should focus on making great products not trying to reach some arbitrary number.
My first response would be that prices will always equilibrate such that complicated machines are always expensive relative to income.

Except for microprocessors. But microprocessors are deeply weird, economically.

The ASUS UEFI firmware exposes an ACPI table to Windows 10, called "WPBT" or "Windows Platform Binary Table". WPBT is used in the pre-built OEM industry, and is referred to as "the Vendor's Rootkit." Put simply, it is a script that makes Windows copy data from the BIOS to the System32 folder on the machine and execute it during Windows startup - every single time the system is booted.

Security considerations aside, I would like to see the ability to auto-install drivers/software/etc. in the Bhyve UEFI BIOS. This would make running Windows VMs on FreeBSD/SmartOS/macOS much easier.
Fine, but this approach leads nowhere. Before you said that “Before teleportation C is in a pure state”. But that’s surely impossible, because wherever C is coming from it’s entangled with a gazillion things already... If the original state C can be “pure”, then the final state B can be “pure” as well (and identical to C).

I think you have a problem with the probabilistic nature of QM, if you only can accept a statistical mixture as being part of an entangled pure system. FTL signaling is just a excuse (and you don’t explain how standard QM would allow for it).
Also, hello from a fellow Conrad!
Excellent filtering technique then if you can ding the ones that are talking suicide because they didn't get into YC

What does that mean though? Are you suggesting that there are other problems that are already done by robots which in consequence means that these concrete tasks will also be done by robots at some point?

How does that have anything to do with the concrete arguments that the parent comment is talking about?
It's not potential: that's the reporting granulariy provided by the App Store. So you got orders of magnitude fewer users infected on Google Play devices (both your links are for non Google Play Chinese phones). Those half billion infected users were infected for a long time before Apple was finally notified and removed the apps from the store (but not from users' phones) in 48 hours.

There's way more to a battery than just density; however, one of the things that needs to be managed is the heat generated during charging. There might be a case to be made for slightly suboptimal packaging strategies if it makes cooling all those cells that much easier.

My god! The amount of discussion here is nuts. Skilled immigration is already a settled case. Just look at how Canada and Australia does it.

America has the whole idea of skilled temporary immigration completely backwards. You want the equivalent of Ivy leaguers from other countries but want to treat them like slaves with a ton of documentation and constant fear of deportation?

That is not a life Ivy-League level folks of any country want to live. Just look at other developed countries. America has really not kept pace.

Carbon Engineering already captures CO2 for $100/tonne. They published a paper on it https://www.cell.com/joule/fulltext/S2542-4351(18)30225-3

http://carbonengineering.com/

“Individual DAC plants can be placed in any country and in multiple climates, and can be built to capture one million tons of CO2 per year. At this large scale, our technology will be able to achieve costs of $100-150 USD per ton of CO₂ captured, purified, and compressed to 150 bar.”
One thing that probably would be useful is when commands are not completely typed or parametrized at the end of the pipeline to still show the last result along with the error message instead of replacing everything and thus removing any context the user had.
If you want your children to be educated well in most regions of the United States, you either need to do it yourself or through private schools. There are a small handful of public schools that have the funding and leadership to do it well, but they are rare - and usually located in the richest counties.

You can't pay attention to achievement metrics or school ranking systems either. They are almost all relative to American schools only and fail to measure well across different global education models. You may find your local public school as an "A" grade from some rating agency, but it means nothing. The only reliable metric is how many of the graduates are accepted into top tier liberal arts colleges.

Frankly, I'm not even trying any of that mess with my children. We teach them ourselves.

I don't think humanoid is a viable form factor. A mobile robotic arm is easier to build and has similar benefits.

DataDog, our API is 100% serverless microservices (aws lambda) and 90% of them connect to elasticsearch / dynamo. If we start getting high error rates an alarm goes off and slack / email lights up. We are monitoring upwards of 300 lambda's this way.
", people tend to postpone work because they hold overoptimistic beliefs about the ease of the task" - this is certainly not the case for me when I procrastinate. Usually, I procrastinate when mentally exhausted, not seeing a clear picture of how to achieve the end goal, not being extrinsically motivated about the end result, depression. And most of the time it is a combination of these, not just one. In fact, easily completable tasks are something I fall back onto during procrastination (that's how I can keep my kitchen sink clean)

>A post doesn't come with the baggage of a username that people can hunt through, so it can really only be judged by its content, not by the reputation (good or bad) of its author.

That's a goddman myth. There are many ways to break anonymity (usernames, tripcodes, country flags, user ids) and the very moment people have any ability to track your posts they will dogpile on them. /int/ is (used to? don't go there anymore) the worst example, in that posters that aren't from North America or Northern Europe will get trashed quickly with stupid memes no matter what they say.

Even when it comes to truly anonymous content, this is just not true. If, for instance, you reply to multiple posts and in one of the replies you express the wrong political opinion (on 4chan that means 'not being alt-right') every single person you replied to will trash you and call you a n* or whatever. People don't magically change their way of thinking just because they're on an anonymous platform, they're still full of biases and idiocy. And poison.
What is the difference between this headline and one that might read, “Americans’ Access to Affordable, High-quality STEM Education Needs to Improve?”

The problem with overtime is that in most cases it's not a choice.

You either do it or be forced to quit.
> that outcome being an apparent shortage of your own skilled citizens.

The interesting thing is even when we had millions of people out of work who worked in technical fields, SV and other major tech hubs were pushing for even more H1-B's.

It really has nothing to do with skilled citizens and more to do with the salaries they demand which tend to be on the scale of 1-3 times more expensive to hire and keep then the off-shore people they're hiring.

Just an anecdote for you:

I was hired as a contractor on a financial application at a major health care provider here in the states. I was the only US born developer on the entire team. That included developers, project managers, and scrum mangers, On a team of 18 people, I was the only American. Several times I overheard team members talking about salary and what they were getting paid. It was shocking to me that I was getting almost twice as much as they were per hour for virtually the same work.

It's not the skills or education that are lacking, it's the cost of the labor which is considerably lower for off-shore talent or H1-B contractors.

> "In short, rather than prompting increasingly vibrant face-to-face collaboration, open architecture appeared to trigger a natural human response to socially withdraw from officemates and interact instead over email and IM."

Moi? I see flags raising when tools are blamed (?) for cultural issues. In addition, it's not the quantity of face to face interactions that matter but the quality.

All that said, the open office approach itself is a cheap cheat / proxy for an open minded collaborative organization. It's popular because it worked at successful companies. The problem is, for those conpanies it was more a correlation than a cause.

Yes, face to face matters. But, as mentioned, so does quality and context (i.e., culture).
Importance of infant diet in establishing a healthy gut
>> However, language use changes over time, of course, and it's absurd to try to prevent that.

I agree, totally. Different people have a different sense of what is right and wrong to say. I'm guessing that is how languages change over time.

But the fact remains that there are things that are very likely to be nearly universally received as wrong. For example, if I say "My mother will eats here tonight" - most people will wonder why I don't say "eat", etc.

Equally, hearing or reading someone use a pronoun like "ey" or "zie" that are not part of what the majority of English speakers will recognise as English is likely to raise an objection from many. I assume listeners or readers who have only a fleeting familiarity with non-binary people, though this may be a bit unrealistic, given the internet etc.
Great job! Any plans on doing a Docker version? What about integration with some brand of NAS (e.g. Synology?)
Yes. Immediately. If it can be shown that a piece of software written today has major functionality which also was written into any software before 2000, and the modern software has twice as much or more delay in its functionality, the author should be publicly executed. Maybe a little extreme but hey it'll provide an incentive :)

We've known for a while that gastrointestinal surgery can reverse type 2 diabetes, but we didn't know why.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-doctors-for-d...

Researchers have been looking into why this is so.

Should a Self-Driving Car Save Passengers, or Kids in the Road?
Robots in industrial settings don't need anything like the capability (sensing, dexterity, etc.) that a useful household robot would need. And they need to be far more safe than an industrial robot, without the safety caging that industry relies on. The problem is at least an order of magnitude more difficult. It's harder than autonomous driving, both algorithmically and in terms of hardware.

Tesla Reports a Rare Profit in the Third Quarter
I will never understand why Tesla people are so obsessed with short sellers.

They exist for every company. And the majority of them would have hedged their bets in some form so it's not like they are likely to lose substantial amounts of money. Tesla almost seems to be similar to Trump in that they need a fictitious enemy to distract the attention away from themselves.

Capture technology becomes automatically profitable if the cost to capture is less than the tax. If my business pays $100/t to emit carbon vs $90/t to capture it, I’ll emit and capture and make a $10/t profit.

At $100/t, capture technology would become widespread very very quickly as an arbitrage against the carbon tax. And yes, some emitters might find a more profitable way via reduction in emissions, but since capture is equivalent to reduction, the most profitable option will win out every time.

This is the magic of carbon taxes.
Perhaps the environment is being (wrongly) blamed for what are ultimately culture and leadership issues? Seems likely, yes.
> which is much harder than it was in 2016 due to increased competition, and the requirement for Masters/PhD nowadays

The requirement for most ML jobs in 2012 (when I graduated) was a Ph.D. I took literally every course on machine learning my university offered (six or so) as an undergrad with the hopes of landing an ML position when I graduated. I gave up on trying to find a position because they all required Ph.Ds.

I even had a solid portfolio, as I had successfully applied neural nets to solve a couple of problems by then. One involved real-time image processing and it was on github.

It seems much easier to get a job in the field now.
They take the "official" accounting earnings and add back in charges they either 1) don't feel represent the true financial position or 2) are one-off charges.

Sure, you can quote a short proof. But again, that's a niche solution to a niche problem, and it defeats the purpose of having citations. It also doesn't convince anyone else that they should believe the proof you've cited.

Archive.org is not a solution to this problem. Nobody is going to go fishing in archive.org for a citation that has disappeared. Even if you have the URL, what is the correct date to use?

There are just practical problems with link citations, and you don't need to invent malevolent intent to understand why researchers are reluctant to use them.
