Amazon can do things. For example, why not tie each product to the seller that sent it? They would very quickly find who sends the fakes and who sends the genuine items. But I suspect they wouldn't be good for amazon's growth numbers so they don't do it.

"Functional and OO aren't mutually exclusive."

They must by definition be. I disagree vehemently with your statement. If you were correct, then there would be absolutely no point to programming "functionally", it would be absurd. Might as well go back to programming in Java or C++, which is utterly counterproductive.
> At least in the US, with low voter turnout (55% for the 2016 election is quoted by this page [1]) then someone has a somewhat large chance of simply randomly picking a non-voter as their "surrogate"

Sure, that gives one person doing it one time a fairly reasonable chance of not being detected.

It doesn't give a repeated, signficant pattern of such fraud a decent chance of avoiding detection.
Ok, good to know. That's definitely not how it's presented in the blog post.

Did they run the icc-generated binaries on the Epyc processors? That's... questionable.

Apart from that, I'm fine with seeing numbers from icc because, if I'm shopping for the highest possible performance, that's probably the compiler I'll use for my code.
I don't understand why everyone is saying how important offline email is. There has been 0 times in the last year where I needed to check my email and didn't have access to the internet. I'm either at my computer or can access it from my phone. Why is this something that is worth crippling the email client for 99.9% of use cases?
It does not require oxygen either. Oxidization happens when a substance reacts to any other one that attract more electrons.
You need to get them to the hospital ASAP - yes, where doctors can start to work on the finger(s). I can't imagine they are going to do anything in the ambulance that the doctors on-site at Tesla aren't capable of stabilizing/prepping for care at a hospital.

At least in my jurisdiction, it's not simply a matter of the poll worker "marking off" your name: they find your name in the book, then they push the book across the table to you so you can make your own signature in the box next to your name.

If someone is attempting to commit in-person voter fraud, they'll need to sign the name that matches the line they put it in. If they're just mistakenly signing on the wrong line, that will, first of all, probably be obvious to both them and the poll worker immediately, and even if not, it will probably be obvious to anyone coming along behind and checking if there's a discrepancy. (Unless the signature is well and truly illegible, and if that's the case, they can check it against the signature from the previous election for that person.)
Three European Countries Block Tax on Tech Giants
Early on they had little choice. If they wanted to sell to the US government, they needed to allow other suppliers to compete.
It’s good that Amazon (As well as IBM and Redhat which are supporting OpenJDK, and Microsoft which made a deal with Azul) are supporting Java...

However, the writing is on the wall. Oracle is desperately trying to monetize Java, and they will be successful for a little bit, this also dilutes their control of the ecosystem. That can lead to fragmentation. It also changes the equation about what kind of adoption corporations will be willing to do with java, and not have a lawyer worry about a per-vCPU licensing term.

We’ve started discussions about a long slow gradual transition from Java. I’m very very sure we are not the only one.
A lot of that comes back to the US as arms deals. The rest comes back to the US as "political lobbying."
You'd expect a device built for a space station to scale on the ground? The basic fundamental research is there, that's the main benefit of NASA and publicly funded space exploration. Their innovations may or may not scale, that's up to entrepeneurs who try to figure out a way to scale them.
Very true. My skin harshly reacts to many things that are just common place today. Don’t want to go near stuff like that. I fully back leaving a workplace like that. It’s sad our field relies on such harmful compounds.
That may be possible. I built my fusion prototype for about $600k in 1990s dollars.

Being more expensive doesn't make people think it is more likely to work. The easiest way to make people think your design will work is to take an existing design with known parameters and make it 'better'. Unfortunately, 'better' often means bigger and more expensive, which is how we get to projects like ITER. SPARC is a version of a compact tokamak using advances in high temperature superconductors - thus, 'better'.

A different way is to propose something completely different than what has been done before. Then, if it is cheap enough, people may be willing to take a chance on it. This is what I did. However, it needs to be different enough to not be easily dismissable as having the same problems as an earlier design. For example, if you are doing a mirror design, you better have a good answer for fixing the ends.

One thing that often gets overlooked when talking about cheaper fusion designs is speed. Big projects like ITER take a long time to build, and then a lot of experiments get done on them, taking more years, because you need to get your money's worth from them. Smaller designs get the knowledge gains out of the design much faster. Robert Hirsch has been trying to bring this to our collective attention ever since he converted from a tokamak proponent to opponent decades ago.
Thanks for strawmanning libertarians. This is why I don't tell everyone to vote. Many people dont have the time or means to be educated on the issues.

We are talking about the same place that claimed that Tesla factory did not have yellow safety tape because "Elon hates the color yellow". The factory did have the yellow-black safety tape around all dangerous machinery, and still does today. This is an organization that publishes literal fake news.
should communities come together and share their ideas, vote together for a better future ?? wtf is wrong with your friends or contacts knowing what you voted? so ashamed of your own opinions?? :s or are all your friends so shallow to judge you on sight for some vote you gave instead of being i=interested in you as a person and wondering why you have a different opinion.

If a vote was really completely uninformed then you have nothing to worry about since over a population they'll average out to very little effect other than making the turnout numbers look better.

I'm always skeptical about people who talk about uninformed voting since it's very often a thinly veiled attempt to weed out 'wrong voting'.

I am virtually certain it would work, as the only thing they depend on is that the pan conducts electricity well (but not perfectly). The heat is generated by inducing currents in the pan, and induction does not depend on the materials being ferromagnetic.
Dallas gets a lot of (imo, undeserved) hate, but I'm curious as to why you didn't like it?
I would. That's the whole point: in object-oriented programming, everything revolves around the state machine, whereas in functional programming, every function is idempotent and the state machine irrelevant. Lisp is a good example of that.
Apparently, Amazon has no idea which seller sent in the item amazon is selling you. I don't know how they can get away with it, or how this is even allowed. What if the item is so shitty that it causes injury or death? Wouldn't amazon like to know which of its sellers is responsible?

Anyway, one more reason to dump amazon, if their appalling treatment of people isn't enough maybe the time wasted in buying then returning fake items (if you can tell at all, if you're buying a product for the first time you can't always spot a fake) is.

How to Succeed in the Digital Age: 10 Brutal Truths Every Bank Has to Admit
> > it isn't stuff you need to call an ambulance for

> If you crush or sever your fingers, you really do need to call an ambulance.

Why? It's not life threatening, you're diverting critical life-saving public resources from someone else, you can definitely get to a hospital faster on your own and probably faster with a ride share, and you are incurring a very high cost.

Furthermore, it's not like they get to the hospital and then are seen immediately because they showed up in an ambulance. They still have to wait in line because the injury is simply not severe

If they have first responders on site, there's no reason they can't get gauze and then go see a surgeon.
Ah, that I didn't know at all, thank you.
I have a 31.5" 4K display I'm using at native resolution with my MacBook Pro and honestly I can't wait for 8K... I wouldn't want to trade off any of this screen space but every day the low ppi bothers me.
I have an iMac 5K and I need to scale things up a little bit for my (tired) eyes.

For me personally 4K 27'' would be better. At 163 PPI it would be worse than the 218 PPI of the 5K display, but it would not be a deal breaker if the color quality was the same.

I'd definitely recommend Couchbase, I feel it's a more robust and feature complete NoSQL document store for most use cases. It's easier to set up, and write performance is much higher than MongoDB in most configurations due to the master-master architecture. The N1QL query language is the most robust NoSQL query language out there, and it's SQL based so very easy to use. Additionally, in the last year, Couchbase has added a complete Full-Text Search system as well as Analytics, which is SQL-based MPP analytics querying with no ETL (think built-in Hive/Hadoop on JSON documents).
I can very safely tell you that this is not the case. There is massive money in Kubernetes right now, and the spending spree will continue, as non-traditional players (Financial services, health-care) drive adoption. This despite the fact we are coming up to a end of a financial cycle is going to look considerably less rosey for some of these companies.

The question is, who buys Rancher, and does someone buy docker?
I really don't like when reviewers test the high end configuration only. This makes the review pretty useless for most of us who may be considering a lower spec.

Everything has little effect on sleep for children XD
An EMT friend told me that the best times to call an ambulance are when you need immediate medical attention, if it would take you much longer to get to the hospital yourself, or if there's a reasonable chance you would distract the driver (e.g. screaming pregnant woman, someone heaving and clawing for air during an asthma attack). While having broken/severed fingers sounds awful, I would probably make the same call (take this as hearsay + a non-medical opinion)
The prediction is the heart of it and the notification is meant to be a convenience.
How would this work across different voting districts? It's highly improbable that all districts have the same number of ballot items. Seems that if it were to work the way as you describe, some districts would get more votes than others. I could see districts gaming this by putting up BS ballot initiates to stuff the vote.

This is not controversial statement. Most Deep Learning pioneers (like Hinton and Bengio) agree and try to find a new way out.

Of course there has been many breakthroughs. Solving exploding or vanishing gradient problem is important. Throwing in more hardware can't solve the problem if gradients don't work.

The large picture is that they are are all just technical tweaks for the same basic underlying idea that has existed since 80's and 90's. Just adding more layers is not enough.

Deep learning is still statistical learning. DL algorithms attempts to learn output distribution that matches the target distribution.
In the context of there being doctors on-site at Tesla who would be assessing/caring for the injured person, if the person is stable/stabilized and the severity of the injury requires treatment at a hospital (say surgery but they're not bleeding out etc) - just getting them to the hospital in a reasonable manner should be the goal, yes? We can make assumptions about what would take longer to get to the workplace and then to the hospital - a Lyft nearby or an ambulance who perhaps has to travel further.

That wouldn't solve today's traffic spike, and there are probably some lower-hanging fruits that should at the very least keep the site online. Anything sold in the last five years with an ethernet port should easily be able to handle a static site even during rare spikes in traffic.

But the Cloudflare DNS configuration isn't something to be scared of: I used to feel similarly nervous when fiddling around with DNS, but haven't had a single problem configuring 20+ sites with Cloudflare.

We track compile times on a per-commit basis. We don’t allow major regressions. But engineering is all about making hard calls. And, as the post mentions, while this may be a small regression in this particular step of the compiler, in an Amdahl’s Law sense, the speed of this step is not that big of a proportion of overall compile times. Most users won’t feel this difference. They do feel the pain of lexical lifetimes quite a bit, though. Which makes it a good trade off, even without regard for the soundness fixes.

Assuming Sweden is the same as Finland and Denmark then it's even better than the UK for not needing cash. The only DKK and EUR I need are for buying a bus ticket if I've forgotten my pass - and there's even an app for that.

The reason these things have happened is due to the insane pressure from upper management.

Sure they can fire the guy who tried recruiting me, but that person was likely under insane pressure to get new bodies to replace the many people who left Tesla.

There is a reason these things are happening.
Let's also be clear. Voter ID laws are not typically tied to national IDs they are typically tied to state drivers licenses and IDs. Which is the crux of the problem since those forms of ID are typically only issued at DMVs and are thus difficult to get for folks who cannot drive or do not live near a DMV. Republicans have also been vehemently opposed to mandatory nationally issued ID cards in the past for fears of federal overreach. Though given the party's current immigration and voter ID stances I'm not sure they'd sit on the same side of the debate the next time it comes up.

Not sure if you're proposing to change the requirements to make them low, but US passports do not have "low requirements to obtain." You need a bunch of different documentation, you need to be able to visit a place that can take official passport photos, and you need to pay non-trivial fees. And then you need to wait weeks to get it.
In case it's not known by everybody, you can geocode(maybe also reverse geocode, I didn't check) US addresses in batch with TIGER census data and PostGIS.
