So all that past myth, of Intel being a uniquely talented company as the reason for Intel's leadership was false ?

And it was mostly about the standard "experience curve", i.e. the fact that larger volumes being manufactured generally lead to better results ?
Part of the problem with drawing conclusions about 'Oumuamua is that it's the first interstellar object we've detected in our solar system. Because of that, we don't really know if 'Oumuamua is a regular kind of interstellar object or a strange one. Presumably in the near future we'll be detecting more interstellar objects. If a lot of them look like 'Oumuamua, we can probably assume this type of object forms naturally. On the other hand, if we don't see any more that act like 'Oumuamua, then maybe it's worth looking at more unlikely possibilities (like it being an alien solar sail).
It would be great to do Deep Learning with AMD GPUs. Might do wonders for prices too as new nVidia are really expensive nowadays.

Of course, crypto might have something to do with this. I see miners offloading GTX 1060-s and 1070-s so perhaps the second hand market might become more approachable?
Probably working for a company with sane resume filtering. We outsourced that.
Plainly and simple: Vision Fund is a giant LBO scheme for Saudi money. Any other interpretation does not make any sense financially.

Vision fund is knee deep in SHORT TERM debt – thus, they have to make money fast. They look for stuff they can flip quickly, and "Pets.com style" companies are ideal targets for that.
Visual Studio support please :) This looks really good
Do you drink a lot of coffee? Anecdotally I was noticing restlessness/sleeplessless with my child when I was caffienated and breast feeding. Going cold turkey there helped a lot. Also if your child is slightly older, feeding him/her with some solid food might be useful. I gave my child mashed avocados, which was a huge hit.
It would be funny if I agreed with you about who is thinking these thoughts, but I'm pretty sure this line of thought is exclusive to employees at medium / large corporations, not startups.

At a startup, these decisions are often made either collectively or from the top. In either case, no one is getting fired for picking something other than AWS, and startups are more willing to take technology risks.
My big takeaway from the "merger" (read: takeover) of 2 Fortune 250's is: watch the management just under the C-levels. Their moves tell you everything you need to know about how it's REALLY going to shake out. If you see only one side of the house pulling the ripcords on their parachutes, well, you can't say you didn't see it coming.
Do you have to give up existing specific-language-aware completions to use this?

Or are the editor plugins implemented in such a way that it gets mixed in to what you already have?
Good point. There is a case that house-use restrictions are consistent with voluntaryism given land is not man-made movable property. The community at large could reasonably argue it has a greater right to govern immovable natural property than the first person to homestead it, given the latter is not an act of creation the way the genesis of other types of private property is.

Anyway aside from the larger political question, I think it's more practical to leave these decisions to individual condo associations. No need to homogenize policy in a diverse landscape.
Good summary. For me the triply demoralizing factor is that (at least where I work) performance reviews are hugely hypocritical. There are some officially stated rules but they don't describe what is actually happening. E.g. officially admitting that there is any kind of stack ranking is a big no-no, but there is now way a team leader can get away with "well, every one on my team has exceeded expectations this year, give them all raises". Or the term "exceeds expectations" itself - actual expectations of your boss play little role compared to the perceived importance of your work.

All of this is a kind of open secret, so the system is "fair" for some definition of fairness. Still, a novice will spend a couple of cycles to understand the unwritten rules of the game. At this point they will either start playing by the real rules or recoil in horror and suffer a blow to their motivation. Of course staying ignorant is also a possibility.
Actually, Scylla 3.0 is still RC [1] and as mentioned in the article will be released later this month.

And I don't think OLTP/OLAP is about LWTs. I think they are just talking about Scylla's ability to process normal updates in a timely manner while doing OLAP queries.

And you're right about ACID transactions. Multiple rows across two or more partitions can not be updated atomically, even with LWTs, but it is possible for a single partition.

The only truly effective thing I do is to hold on to tech for as long as it's viable -- to send the message that I'm not okay with planned obsolescence.

But no, I'm not gonna go out of my way to religiously pursue smaller CO2 footprint at all costs. I try to make small differences but anything that severely inconveniences me is a no-no and always will be.

At least I'm not pretending for the sake of feeling good about myself.
When you did the switch did you just swap out the software on each node, or did you provision new nodes with Scylla, adding them to the cluster, and removing old nodes with Cassandra?
It could be helpful to understand that there are multiple governmental entities that could tax the income of a Delaware corporation: (1) Federal Corporation Income taxes -- through the IRS; and (2) State Corporate Income/Franchise Taxes -- through the relevant State agency. (There may be other local taxes such as business license and sales taxes, but that is not relevant here to your franchise tax issue).

You are required to file separate tax returns each year to each entity (so you pay both federal and state taxes). (If you are from Canada, "states" are roughly equivalent to "provinces".)

Since you mentioned "franchise taxes", it looks like you are looking at the State of Delaware's taxes (and not the IRS).

In Delaware, franchise taxes can generally be calculated using two different methods: (1) Authorized Shares Method (number of shares you authorized); and (2) Assumed Par Value Capital Method (generally based on the value of the assets in your company). See https://corp.delaware.gov/frtaxcalc/.

Most startups have been told to authorize 10 million shares in their incorporation paperwork. In Delaware, if you select the calculation method based on the number of shares, and you authorized 10 million shares, you could be surprised by a very expensive "initial" franchise tax calculation.

Others have already linked to a good article discussing this "surprise" bill: https://www.cooleygo.com/so-you-owe-thousands-in-delaware-fr....

The solution is to look closely at your franchise tax bill and read about the option to calculate your taxes using the Assumed Par Value method.

If you cannot afford a lawyer, contact the State of Delaware Division of Corporations directly to discuss how to use the Assumed Par Value method to calculate your franchise taxes. See https://corp.delaware.gov/contact/ (the Franchise Tax contact number is (302) 739-3073 option 3).

Good luck.

Not to mention IRV/RCV usually produces a condorcet winner AFAIK.
Campaigners should be able to identify who is an occasional voter in order to give those folks voting information.
I've prototyped something like this in the past using n-grams and it was surprisingly effective. When I think it gets really interesting is if you marry ML/NLP tactics with traditional static code analysis.

So you can imagine the ML engine generating the suggestions with the static analyzer ranking the suggestions intelligently.

It's kind of similar to the original AlphaGo where you have the model generate the potential moves that are then ranked by the Monte Carlo Tree Search algorithm.
Everywhere has long-distance now.
Seems like a bigger problem than a bunch of migrants slowly walking towards the southern border.
Sure there are; valuations are considerably inflated now compared to the average (or starting point) of the last 90 years. Percentage earnings and dividend rate are both considerably lower. The long term expected return for the market is therefore also lower.
Education and nursing do indeed require high amounts of training and preparation to enter, and education in particular is extremely competitive. Where are you getting this conjecture? Nursing is also dangerous- one risks horrific infection regularly and is exposed to human body fluids! I’m really thinking this might be a bunch of conjecture based on the ideals of these female-majority jobs, and perhaps not the reality of them. I’m also unsure how it reflects the proof of the original claim, that feminists are broadly not claiming they desire equality but something else, and once they achieve employment parity they will make moves towards inequitable employment.
I think you are ignoring a lot of factors that come into play when you are managing assets on the scale of 70B$. It is easy to sink 1000$ in a minute into an index fund using Robinhood. It is not as easy when you are talking numbers on this scale.
But I suppose it's still not cheaper than just renting enough Hetzner servers for the peak?
> But you also need a solution when there isn’t an outright Condorcet winner, and there is no good solution to that. The tie-breaking mechanism of every Condorcet method is basically impossible to explain in simple terms, ranked pairs included.

The Smith set is as easy to explain as the Condorcet winner, and random selection is trivial, so random selection from the Smith set seems to be a simple Condorcet tiebreaker.
The option of "just stay home" is an option that's not being considered by the OP. Plenty of people cast a protest vote for Stein against both Clinton and Trump and wouldn't have voted for either if those were the only choices.
I wonder how it'll perform as a "super" Apple Tv.

No, but variance causes risk when you're borrowing to invest and need a certain level of return to continue servicing that debt.
I think what is more unrealistic in Minecraft is terrain height and distance, and for a reason, realistically sized terrain in Minecraft would be very difficult to render and also not fun to walk around.

Also walls in Minecraft are typically one meter thick, so unless their new HQ is a medieval castle, it also won't be realistic.
What a bad headline. Google employees are protesting the really crappy way that the company handles claims of sexual harassment. To say this is about individualism is trivializing to the point of being irresponsible.
You're not alone. I actually bought one refurb from Apple this year and I plan on extending the AppleCare to the full 3 years.
I must say that I never found a "clever" autocomplete that really suited me, I just ended up using a rather dumb "hippie-expand" in Emacs that basically tries to complete the word under the cursor using anything it finds in the current file or, failing that, any other open file. It's very dumb but it works regardless of language (including completing plain text in emails for instance) and it's predictable.

I'm pretty interested in your project, the way it seems to be able to learn from the way you type matches my workflow better than the usual "clever" auto-expander. I also have no issues paying for good tools (and $29 is really negligible as far as I'm concerned when it's for productivity tools, my keyboard alone costs an order of magnitude more).

However, and I know I'm probably in the minority here, I won't even consider using your program if I can't get the source. I'm not even asking for a FLOSS license or anything, even if it just came with a tarball that I can't redistribute I would consider it. But as it stands I would be completely relying on you maintaining the code and porting it to whatever platform I may want to use later. As it stands for instance it seems that you don't provide binaries for the BSDs: https://github.com/zxqfl/tabnine-vim/tree/master/binaries/0.... . I'm sure I could get it to work with Linux binary compatibily on FreeBSD but why even bother? What if Apple releases an ARM-based desktop a few years from now and you've stopped maintaining your project? Then I have to replace it with something else if I have to code on a Mac. The price is a non-issue but having to work around the closed source nature of the software is not something I want to bother with.

Again, I know that I'm probably in the minority and that many people on HN have no issues using mostly closed source development stacks but I genuinely wonder if you'd have much to lose if you kept the same business model but provided the source. I mean, if people want to pirate your program I'm sure they'll find a way even if it's just the binary, so I doubt you gain much from that. Then the risk is people stealing your code but is there really that much secret sauce in an autocomplete program? If people really care won't they just reverse-engineer it anyway? Aren't they even more likely to try and reverse-engineer it if it's the only way to get an open source version that they control?

Maybe I'm overthinking this.

Anyway, I hope I don't appear too negative, that's just my opinion. I'm happy to see people working on improving our code editing experience in any way or form, sometimes it feels like we're still in the stone age with our dumb ASCII files and relatively primitive tooling.
I looked at the website.

STAR Voting allows voters to rate all the candidates similar to how we rate books on Amazon

Ah yes, Amazon, that site with famously reliable and unbiased user reviews.

This is a terrible idea. It’s a bad voting system made worse by appeal to similarity with popular apps and websites, which themselves use a really bad voting system.
"Getting more for you money" means hiring someone overqualified. That's always been considered a bad idea because of the generally accepted (and quite reasonable) belief that people who are overqualified will go somewhere where they're merely qualified, but paid a lot more.

So, yes, most interviewers are looking for the best fit.
The NUC8, like pretty much every small form factor pc, uses a mobile cpu, whereas the new mini uses desktop cpu’s. You have to look at the top model nuc8 with i7 to outperform the entry-level mac mini with the i3, and then the price advantage disappears.

That CPU power comes in handy for most of the mini’s use cases, transcoding for home theater / nas, or build times for build server.
it is better than FPTP.

We use FPTP in the UK because it directly correlates an MP with a constituency. Even if the candidate you didn't prefer wins, they are still your MP and have a duty to represent you.

We had a referendum on PR a few years ago (which was rejected) and its proponents kept banging on about it, then went very very quiet when UKIP got 4 million votes (more than the SNP and the Greens combined).
That's a compromise by the numbers, not by the nature of the food.

Chinese food isn't a compromise, a blend between Italian, Indian, Gatropub and Steakhouse food.

In Chinese food there isn't a little bit from every other choices. A candidate being chosen on virtue of a compromise by the numbers doesn't mean s/he aggregates some ideas from other candidates.

Hence my remark about that candidate being on a different spectrum from the others.

I am not saying he shouldn't be chosen or that people wouldn't be happy about it, I am saying that his ideas aren't a compromise from the other candidates' ideas.
Never heard of the Baroque Cycle [1]. Looks like a good book. Thanks for the mention.

But mistakes in the appealer's view don't matter. You win an appeal if the lower court made a mistake in the view of the higher court.
I understand that, so then when you go in to vote, the first question on the screen could just be whether you want the Democratic primary or the Republican one.

And look, I fully understand how things work today, and that the parties control their primaries independently. But the fact is that it's not really possible to participate in democracy in the US without acknowledging the duopoly of the major parties, and if states can regulate them in other ways (such as only allowing to vote in one party's primary) the can certainly regulate them in other ways by requiring which party primary one voted in to be private.
It's per user/email. I just purchased and installed it on my VS Code, and two separate vim installations/instances and they all worked.
You ask a very good question. I'm afraid the very strong rules about confidentiality that apply to me as a California attorney prevent me from answering as I'd like.

I can say that I think your experience is typical of large software firms. Most still ban AGPLv3, if not all GPLs or all copyleft licenses, by policy.

Even when there are exploitable loopholes, they're typically narrow enough to require very close collaboration between legal and engineering, in the context of a very specific project, especially the first time. It's possible to exploit those loopholes, but not possible to prescribe how to do so by general policy. That used to be true of private changes to GPLv2 and GPLv3 code. We've seen exercises of those intentional gaps in copyleft operationalized as policy in firms that rely on them daily.

Well I’m sure you’re not terrible parents.
I don’t have children but what I do know about all sleepers is that it’s about routine. Same things every night, in the same order. No screens or other stimulus 2 hours before bed. Exercise or any physical activity close to sleep too, but running around and playing football etc. before meal timed helps, and as for meal times light non carb based meals well before bed.
Reading is a great way to unwind and helps the mind.
Children have been less of a focus for me but before a neurologist I’d suggest a sleep specialist. They can come to your home and give you some tips. There are even ones focused for children. If you’re in the UK I can help with contacts. I hope that was in some way useful, as sleep experts have said to me regularly, it’s not rocket science it’s dicipline.
Yeah, I have no idea what PCIe m.2 is, and I don't really care to find out. That's my point.
You are correct in assuming the fact that you need a paper trail to fire someone. I work in Australia and firing someone for poor performance requires a fair bit of work.

But for performance management, I basically have to put them on a performance management plan and set expectations. If they fail to regularly meet those expectations, then they can be let go. This generally takes a few months to progress through, giving the staff member the opportunity to prove us wrong.

But this process is very different to KPIs. An important one, nonetheless.
Pretty much everything out there is stellar In comparison to what we have (FPTP) which sucks rocks.

IRV has its flaws but they are minor in comparison to the voting system we have.
Can anecdotally confirm.
Did you just assume the way people speak is influenced by their gender?
The OSHA investigation did no such thing, and in fact the article included a direct quote from OSHA: "A Cal/OSHA spokeswoman said the investigation found four other “injury recording violations that fell outside of the statute of limitations.”"

"Outside of the statute of limitations" is very different than "proved wasn't true."
Algorithms will usually use real-time data. For that, you're really comparing microseconds (or even nanoseconds).

You can't get that data for free though.
That's probably slabs of billet: unprocessed steel right from the mill. Not cold rolled bars or rods, or sheet.

I only know a little about steel prices from being a hobby machinist, but I know a bit more about hay prices. For the price of a cheap laptop, you can get two tons of hay delivered :-)

None of those things have anything to do with "innovation, imagination, and daring".
It's poor exercise of government power to prohibit a money-making operation, as a way to stop a subset of that money-making operation that has harmful effects. Better to target the harmful activity directly.

>>And those tourists tend to contribute more to city coffers when they're not actively dodging things like luxury taxes.

That's a different topic. My point was that there's no good reason to assume long term residents contribute more to the tax base, given how much more tourists spend per day of occupancy.

But to your point: who said Airbnb means dodging luxury taxes? And why ignore the loss in tourism when you wipe out the low-cost accommodations market provided by home-sharing?

>>Asking silly hypotheticals about people operating hotels for no monetary gain doesn't help your argument.

Remuneration from paying guests is not the only potential motivation for allowing a large number of people to stay at one's place in quick succession. The motivation should not be relevant if the problem is the quantity of people staying. Targeting remnunerated stays exclusively is biased.
This is where maps are headed. A good example of this style of rendering is Apple Maps and Mapbox GL (with JS, C++, et.al. bindings).

The issue is the rendering is actually somewhat resource intensive and browser support is thus far incomplete. But we’re getting there!
Can't wait to see this for Intellij, looks really cool but I am fully bought in on IDEA and while I have used Atom/VS/Sublime/etc this isn't enough to give up everything else I get in IDEA.
Supplementary Figure 6 is pretty cool! There seems to be a lot of strange things happening at the mantle-crust boundary that will take some further study to understand.

All said, this is a MAJOR advance in our understanding of the Earth and the science thereof. This technique should allow for some pretty amazing things in the future.
Making Sense of Code Components
Very broad and vague question.

I'm not throwing away my PC, or MacBook, or iPhone, or iPad, or 35" 144Hz display that consumes 200W. I actually need them and they actually help me live a better life.

But sure, I do use less napkins compared to 5 years ago. And I don't have a car (which is insane to have when you live in the center of a city anyway).

You'll have to clarify what do you have in mind with your question though.
There's a book about it! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullshit_Jobs
> you can’t both grow fast enough to conquer a new market while at the same time making profits

Maybe it would be a good thing if "grow fast...conquer market" were less of a goal for new companies than building one of a number of stable and sustainable businesses serving a market?

Perhaps we'd get markets where a variety of products and services compete on their features and merits, each having an appropriate place within the overall market, instead of an unhealthy winner-takes-all situation where the startup that gets the most money thrown at it can spend its way to world domination.
It is pretty crazy. I felt the same way. Individual x64 cores tend to be so much more powerful than other architectures, and now single chips will effectively have 128 logical cores.

For my purposes (large builds and rendering), I think RAM prices are holding back AMD here. To feed that many cores, you want really big RAM sticks. The CPUs have become a comparatively small cost compared to the RAM these days.
