They live in a community. If they raise prices such that their friends and neighbors can not afford to eat there, they will become social pariahs. It would be very difficult to do, and it would alienate the very people they probably wanted to be serving.

If you’re a restaurateur, you probably don’t even live near that restaurant. But this advice is tantamount to: tell your friends and everyone who helped you get where you are that they’re too poor for you, now.
I can totally recommend vega and vega-lite. It's just json and web based so it pretty language independent. There's no difference between just messing around with data sciency stuff in a repl or making a graph for your website, it's all the same.
In this case, Stanich wanted to serve his community, and if he raised the prices, he would drive away his own community.

If I were Stanich, I would raise the prices but also offer reusable vouchers/coupons to all past customers, friends, and family so they can pay the original prices.
Only if I insist on doing things the way UNIXs do, which is what is keeping me on Windows.

If Linux had a stable and consistent base system that was comprised of the most commonly used libraries, then developers would only have to statically link or include their own copy of less common libraries. I'm totally ok with that.

And let's be real for a minute, the program size hit is negligible. You can get a 1TB SSD for under $200. The largest part of almost any program that's in any way large are its assets, not its code.
If I ever am employed in a position where my salary is funded by taxpayer money, I will do whatever I can to make all of my correspondence and documents public ASAP.
This coupled with the articles I've seen on people on vacation all hoarding together to get the perfect picture of $insertMonumentOrSkylineHere. I remember one in particular that showed this gorgeous picture then showed what was behind the photographer and it was mob of people all taking the same picture. It honestly makes me sick. Those are the people that do thing to say they did them rather than for the experience IMHO.

If your life looks perfect on FB/Insta/Snap I just assume you are empty inside.

Just to put this in perspective: Apple has about 30 times more cash unused than this German investment in AI. Plus this R&D budget is only "potentially" impactful.
What about raising prices (at the exclusion of the locals), and then using the increased revenue to philanthropically give back to the community in a meaningful way?
> but there's no Nobel Prize for plant-related biology (that's what the Kyoto medal is for, which isn't mentioned here?!?)

Well, plant-related biology is something specific, but I guess that if it is a big breakthrough it is a strong candidate for the Chemistry Nobel

In the same way there is no Math Nobel, but there's the Fields medal. Nobel is not all there is to science.

Yes. My Bose headphones are absolutely overrated and overpriced. They're 2-3x as expensive for being maybe 10%-20% better than the competition.

But they're still 10% better. They're the best consumer grade noise canceling headphones available. None of the offerings from Sennheiser or the like have both a comparable comfort and the same or better noise canceling. So, for me, there just isn't anything else that solves the problem of having to do high-concentration work in an open office for hours at a time.
Interesting that I always used Andreessen's: Why software is eating the world? [1] as a temper to AI hype. You can replace "blockchain" with "distributed database" or "AI" with "software" and look at the result for if the use of AI or blockchain was just buzzword lingo or actually semantically relevant.

But now they have a chapter: "Giving Your Software AI Superpowers", which breaks this technique hard.

AI's history, to me, starts with Operational Research:

> Employing techniques from other mathematical sciences, such as mathematical modeling, statistical analysis, and mathematical optimization, operations research arrives at optimal or near-optimal solutions to complex decision-making problems. Because of its emphasis on human-technology interaction and because of its focus on practical applications, operations research has overlap with other disciplines, notably industrial engineering and operations management, and draws on psychology and organization science. Operations research is often concerned with determining the maximum (of profit, performance, or yield) or minimum (of loss, risk, or cost) of some real-world objective. Originating in military efforts before World War II, its techniques have grown to concern problems in a variety of industries.

Later authorities were just (in part) rebranding OR for Darpa/Iarpa grant money.

I like this executive summary though: It is good reading for managers and CEO's who may not be familiar with AI and its possibilities. For practitioners it is mostly fluff though and any intro course will give a better overview. A real playbook has yet to be written.

but wouldn't it be better for that second function to just monitor the queue - and pull data off the queue that is problematic?

The most universal way to detect the problem is to catch the exception from the crash. However, the process that does that will be in the realm of undefined behavior, so it should be crashed.

Of course 'monitoring' is not exactly the same as 'processing' the actual data - so you'd have to know exactly what to pull off.

Your scheme is limited to all the known strings. My scheme can respond to anything in the future which might crash the 1st process.

Yes. Since there's no explicit install step you can run as many versions as you want. You can of course copy the files to the cache of any system.
I believe Sony WH-H900N is both better and cheaper. Sony and bose are the only ones (that I have heard) that does noise cancellation that is worth it.

They're not even active noise cancelling. They work just as well with no battery. They're not "dead silent" but I can be making no noise and you have to yell to get my attention.

As an added bonus they're reflective, not that that in any way makes up for the massive reduction in situational awareness you are causing by purposefully handicapping your hearing ability while in/around traffic.

Edit: Did you edit your comment or was it someone else who mentioned wanting to listen to audiobooks while walking down the street?
I really don't think so. Google doesn't make keeping up with tensorflow hard because of all the wonderful innovations, but because of needless breakage. Moving of packages, renaming things. It regularly breaks not-so-old code.

Also, I don't think I am ungreatful. It's a serious criticism of a software i use almost daily. I really don't consider tensorflow to be great or even some kind of software, but for some tasks it's the only option.

Also, google profits a lot from releasing tensorflow into the wild.

But, all in all, tensorflow 2.0 seems like a step in the right direction.
>> Apparently, after my story came out, crowds of people started coming in the restaurant, people in from out of town, or from the suburbs, basically just non-regulars. And as the lines started to build up, his employees -- who were mainly family members -- got stressed out, and the stress would cause them to not be as friendly as they should be, or to shout out crazy long wait times for burgers in an attempt to maybe convince people to leave, and as this started happening, things fell by the wayside. Dishes weren’t cleared quickly, and these new people weren’t having the proper Stanich’s experience, and Steve would spend his entire day going around apologizing and trying to fix things. They might pay him lip service to his face, but they were never coming back so they had no problem going on Yelp or Facebook and denouncing the restaurant and saying that the burgers were bad.

Poor management is what caused the shutdown. Stanich knew about the problems and didn't fix them. Instead he went around apologizing about the problems that he shoulds have fixed in the first place.
Android's OpenGL/Vulkan debugger, Fucshia TCP/IP stack, some driver research, a GCloud hypervisor, a basic POSIX kernel implementation presented at this year's USENIX are some of the examples of Go as C replacement.
In english there are two ways to refer to a person of unknown gender. "it" and "they". Of a baby you could say:

"Is it a boy or a girl?"
or
"Are they are a boy or a girl?"

Both are perfectly correct and common, but "it" sounds impersonal and as such can be a bit rude.
Also electronic device screen size is expressed in inches all over the world, also pipes are often inches, the same applies to nails.

This is Google's problem. Total and complete lack of long-term view. Just look at how many projects they shut down every year.

Do they really think they were going to become market leaders in three years? Come on. The market for cloud infrastructure is in its infancy. The opportunities are there. But you don't build a large business within a potentially multi-trillion dollar industry by being impatient.

And hiring a former Oracle executive just shows how impatient they are... It a complete change of the playbook and it likely means that they are scrapping a huge chunk of Greene's original go to market strategy for Google Cloud.
It's pretty likely that they weren't reacting to runaway trim; on that we agree.

The trim wheels are large, painted mostly black with alternating, offset white stripes (so the motion is quite visible), and have a very distinctive clacker on them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQirIH_DuAs

It's possible that the crew fought to keep the airplane in a basic attitude flying configuration for several minutes without ever noticing the trim in motion unexpectedly, but that seems unlikely, particularly when the act of holding the nose up to hold attitude was accompanied by increasing nose down trim.

Minor note: there is no stick pusher in the 73. Those tend to only be installed on T-tail aircraft. Synthetic elevator feel increases, but no pusher only a shaker.

^ this. Use a pencil to write the number of seconds. For advanced pieces you need to actually sit down and do a division and it's tricky to practice with both hands (like Fantasie Impromptu).

it's so tempting once you get the notes right to just let her rip at full speed but this was a bad habit and hard to break.

Now I try to play as slow as possible as often as possible. Only when you have it down perfect can you then start adding dynamics, expressiveness and your own take.
Your experience matches mine in CS; the large lecture halls were only used by a handful of early required courses that bottlenecked the students, a basic prerequisite for a variety of other courses all done in smaller classrooms.
Indeed, there's no guarantee that the real world follows the same laws of physics whatsoever. For all we know, it might allow hypercomputation.
While I agree their offering is quite good, I understand why enterprises do not want to invest on it. Some reasons that come to mind:

- Much less people with proper platform knowledge (not even talking about certified).

- Not much trust on deprecation policies (AWS keeps running very old and deprecated services virtually forever, there’s no guarantee GCloud would do the same given Google history).

- Not from personal experience but customer support is not top notch as with other providers from what I have read and heard.

In my opinion those three reasons alone are big flags for many corporations, which might prevent them from getting the big contracts.

For your first question some Kibble balances have accuracy parts per billion in measurement of the kilogram.

For your second question, agreed - no trade deals care about the accuracy of the new kilogram vs old.
I would say that's less about technology and more about location.

Particle colliders can go underground around major cities. Telescopes like this are in the middle of nowhere.

You need a special type of person that is qualified to operate the worlds largest telescope and simultaneously wants to live in a remote forest.

It's a mechanism to allow society to distribute wealth who aren't contributing through their labour. Which will become increasingly important as we transition into a world where labour is automated and we don't require most people's labour.

(I'd argue that we're already at the point where some people's labour is superfluous to society).
I know this is not the answer you want to hear (and trust me this should NOT be the answer). But if they have an API that allows you to make these updates, it might be best to use something like Postman to hit the API to make the update while you find a drop in replacement for Stripe. I'm not saying it's a long term solution. But I wouldn't want your business to suffer while you are figuring this out. If I can be of assistance let me know.
Kind of, I prefer the productivity I get from the GC in ML language variants.

No. I know of dozen better solutions for people who want to listen to music in high-noise environments, starting with the cheap-and-good (Mee M6Pro, $50, plus ear-safety isolators, $10) and ranging through moderately priced and good (Sennheiser HD280Pro, $100, Beyerdynamic DT770, $150) and going on up in price but not necessarily isolation.

> I suppose this is a consequence of making all future versions of Windows essentially free by adopting "Windows as a Service" release process. When everyone upgrades to Windows 10 there won't be anyone left to buy it anymore so they need a new source of income to replace that.

OEM Licenses are bound to a single computer AFAIK. You change computers you need to pay for Windows again. So it's not like people will never buy Windows anymore as long as they buy computers installed with Windows on it.

Before one would get a separate Windows CD with his computer and be able to install it on many different machines, one activation at a time.
1/2 m = 50.00 cm, 1/2 ft = 6 in

1/3 m = 33.33 cm, 1/3 ft = 4 in

1/4 m = 25.00 cm, 1/4 ft = 3 in

1/6 m = 16.67 cm, 1/6 ft = 2 in

This is why imperial makes more sense to me than metric. If we had a base-12 number system, metric would be perfect, but base-10 is terrible under division. For practical divisors like these, imperial shines.

If you're doing science, metric makes more sense because units work out. But most all US science has already adopted metric.
I think the internet caused a lot of this. It's easier for everyone to herd to a SINGLE point. I don't remember this sort of line size discrepancy being nearly so common twenty years ago.
1E10 atoms of hydrogen isn't a fixed mass.

Cf binding energy, electron excitation, E=mc^2 (the m there is m0, the rest mass; the full equation includes the momentum and "relativistic mass").

The situation is actually worse for hydrogen (cf hydrogen bonding).

Growing grains requires:

Prep soil -> Plant -> Wait -> Harvest

Perennial grains would allow you to do the prep and plant once, and then repeat the last two steps multiple times. Prep, Planting, and Harvest are all similar orders of magnitude of labor, so if you can get ~ 5 years from a single planting, you could work an area of land with less than half the total labor.

Less soil prep and planting (with heavy machinery) means less soil erosion, less microbiome destruction, healthier soil.
Such agendas are against the community guidelines because they're against community.
If you are accessing RAM, modern ARM chips don't care about alignment.

Anecdote: I used to pay for Imgur.com pro account. They then removed their subscription model and now have an advertisement-based model. Their advertisements are notoriously... not well intentioned to the end-user. And I would be very surprised if Imgur is not selling user data. I'm actually very upset about that.

Another anecdote: Spotify. I don't use that. https://twitter.com/mikarv/status/1012386696934182912

Another anecdote: DI.fm. I do use that. I pay for a pro subscription. Unfortunately their privacy policy makes it clear that they do sell tracking metrics to advertisers (double-dipping).

Then there's, of course, Microsoft. Clearly they track users. How can you guarantee that they don't sell your data to third parties neither now nor in the future?

> If company XYZ offers service/product A, should I be able to buy that product/service flat out, (if I'm financially able) without bells and whistles even if company XYZ insists on adding bells and whistles? (i.e., data collection). Is that somehow a sort of right as a consumer?

I absolutely 100% believe that this should be an ability for end-users to do. Buy the product and provide the ability to 100% disable telemetry.

You might find that running sshd in a Terminal is probably the best way to get a sense of what's really going on if the logging level isn't high enough by default - things like cipher disagreements would probably be visible on the client, whereas authentication errors are more likely to be logged on the target side. Do come back with how you get on!
There is plenty of reason to advertise to someone willing and able to spend >$1000 on software.
> basic income would involve a transfer of wealth from companies and wage-earners to the unemployable

Unemployed, but not necessarily unemployable. "unemployable" seems to suggest that these people don't have useful skills. But it may simply be that societal demand for labour decreases and thus people can't find employment even if there is nothing useful that needs doing...

All UMTS networks or newer use TMSI the actual IMSI is only sent once per baseband reset as long as there wasn’t a period where a hand off between VLRs didn’t occur and you didn’t roam to another network without direct peering.

That said there is a trick to bypass TMSI for tracking as you can trigger an IMSI re-registration by interrupting mobile data or by forcing the mobile phone to downgrade through jamming.

Also TMSI only prevents tracking not eavesdropping, it makes targeted eavesdropping harder but not impossible if you can track the target through other means.

State is a different problem. Usually programs don't mutate their executables.

Mutable, persistent state is usually put under /var and is user-owned. Package updates should not touch data in there.

SSHd is now very picky about permissions of the .ssh directory and underlying files and may quietly fail if they're not set properly.
It’s called supply and demand. If there is a 5 hour wait, there’s a problem: no local will wait 5 hours for a burger so you exclude them anyway. Price is the best mechanism to address supply and demand.
Also: we notice when you hire more than 1 external recruiter at a time.

When I get 8 contacts over 2 weeks for the exact same position, that lets me know there are huge red flags ahead. Or, and this is more fun, you're contacting me for a position I already interviewed with and turned down.

Are you in a death spiral and need bodies ASAP? Does your comp suck? Does your office suck? Does your location suck? Are you too picky in your interview process? Maybe a mix of all of these?
It's because Google's culture is engineering focussed while pretending to be product focussed. As a result, Google breeds great engineers but not great product people. Also, their promotion process shamelessly promotes peer cannibalization. So, its easy for naive people to stagnate.

No, I'm not in an interracial relationship and not gay either. I do look Muslim though.

I'm sure there are places like this in NorCal, as you attest, and I haven't encountered them because I go mostly to the places where tourists go (while I tend to avoid the most popular tourist destinations in the state, my travels have still been for camping purposes, which means the places I go to are not strangers to outsiders).

But the mere fact that I can live and travel in the state without encountering this kind of stuff is precisely the point. In Oklahoma, there is prejudice anywhere you go, even the towns and cities.

(In fact, the main group of people in Oklahoma whom I remember being inclusive towards me were actually rural / very-small-town farmers)
