There's a large market for gaming-oriented mobiles, I won't disagree. Still, the traditional tower market is shrinking in every vertical EXCEPT gaming, where it has actually grown in the past couple years.

Personally, I detest laptops as anything but machines for on-the-go productivity - I don't want to replace a full system just to swap a CPU or GPU, or pay a huge premium for the benefits of portability that I simply don't need in a gaming system (not to mention the performance compromises that you ALWAYS make with lower power or thermally limited components). I can see an argument being made for students or other people with more mobile lifestyles, but in my house there's three desks with gaming rigs right next to each other in the family room for my wife, my daughter, and myself - the need for portability simply isn't there.

The discrete GPU still isn't going anywhere :)
I think that's the difference between being adapted and adaptable. People who have addictions to inexpensive things are adapted to their environment, but not adaptable when heroin becomes expensive.
Maybe I don't understand your argument but it sounds like to me you would think that 3 feet long is societally determined because you need a social system to define what 3 feet is and create measuring tapes and whatever but that would make every metric socially constructed. It only works based off a different definition of what socially constructed means thqn I intended in my post so I could try to nail down a better definition or if you want you could suggest to me clearer words in the future but I'm loathe to get into a semantic argument here.

Edit: TL;DR by my understanding your definition of societally determined is so broad as to not really be very meaningful.
This looks awesome, and makes me wonder if anyone done any real-time graphics experiments with Julia? With this great AD and gpu support, I would love to try using this on some graphics applications!
Mike Innes is one of the real rockstars in the Julia community. He has a knack for making surprisingly small and elegant packages which compose so naturally with the base language that they feel built-in.

After a `using Flux`, julia is suddenly a machine learning language, instead of a language with a machine learning library. I'd argue it shouldn't be surprising that he found his way to Julia because Julia is one of few languages that allows one to make such packages.

His other packages such as MacroTools.jl, Lazy.jl and Zygote.jl are also well worth checking out.
Not really, short-term interest rates are set by the fed and long-term interest rates are determined by bond investors betting what the avg interest rate will be over that time period. So when the yield curve inverts, investors are betting that the fed will have to cut rates in the future (because of a recession or other reasons), making the long-term interest rates lower than the current short-term rates.

The Ideology of Corbynism
I cannot stand the Limes and Birds around Santa Monica.

I walk out of my apartment, and the streets are littered with them. It's annoying when walking, it's even more annoying when jogging, and riders are constantly riding them (without helmets) on sidewalks even though we have bike lanes. They're even a nuisance when driving.

I'm hoping for some legislation that will ban them -- I might set up a grassroots campaign myself. It's mostly the tourists using them, anyway.
Santa Barbara and Goleta
It's strange that even though SF approved 2 scooter companies to operate that I feel like I rarely see anyone actually use vs what I saw when Bird/Lime were here.
Summaries of 10 important 2018 AI research papers
I think it does happen all the time. I'd guess weekly at least.

My guess is this case was specifically targeted by media influencing government agencies to exert pressure on SA.

The case itself is also almost a perfect fit - a good link to the USA and English speaking world, very solid evidence collected by Turkey, etc.
It just runs in the clouds!!!
Doesn't mean it brings value.
Uber has around 7 billion (last time I heard) and this year they will lose around 5 billion, maybe more.

Uber is on track to run out of money in 2019, so a financial event is inmminent. I don't know if we will see an Uber 2019 IPO, but if it doesn't happen is more likely due to the current bear market and not so much because they are considering a large acquisition.

If they acquire a scooter company I presume they will do it through a mix of debt and a heavy stock component. In fact it seems that they already raised another 2 billion through private placement bonds.
not just for women, a lot of the kink side of tumblr expressed a much healthier attitude and freer mindset towards these topics, and it's a rough thing to see it go away.

I run 3 obscure tumblrs myself (only one of which is sfw) and it's a damn shame to see it go. especially before there is any real viable replacement.
Scooters aren't vehicles licensed for public roads. So it will probably still be littering, of public roads and parking spaces this time.
Whole Foods workers’ worst fears may be coming true
I don't see how they could be obsoleted. What we know of Rome is very often through late-Roman scholars. We'll need these texts to disprove modern anti-historians, who make claims about our origins to drive reactionary politics.

A Roman example--as described in Mary Beard's "SPQR"--is how imperialists claimed Rome was always ruled by kings, attempting to erase its Republican history. Contemporary populations accepted that viewpoint because they didn't have access to history.

They're still relevant.

Frankly, I am grateful for even your cursory summaries.
Bizarre. As a Brit I've never not had one. And I know US companies are perfectly capable of doing them for international employees.

The culture shock I'm feeling at this discovery is worse than discovering the US doesn't have electric kettles, bans crossing the road, or still uses cheques in shops.
One of my favorite examples of this "genre" is Claude Shannon's "Communication Theory of Secrecy Systems," from 1949.

http://netlab.cs.ucla.edu/wiki/files/shannon1949.pdf

Speaking as someone who is not a formally trained cryptographer, most introductory material on the topic is pretty terrible. Finally stumbling across Shannon's early work, many years after starting in security, was like a breath of fresh air.

Cars are parked in designated areas in an organized matter and get ticketed when they obstruct pedestrian traffic.

Also, your comment is a logical fallacy.
That would probably be whats best for the users but I think that that would result in competing with the adult site for edgecase users (The makers of thirsty art that can be unhappily coerced to cover up the nipples)
Is there a reason these don't count as just trash? If I leave my scooter lying on the side of the road, I would never assume that it would still be there if I came back to it.
You are thinking like an outsider and I’m thinking like an insider. It isn’t searching for cars, but things needed to get work done, so reaearch, etc..., which is all severely deficient on entertainment/medical scam focused Baidu. The use of Google would be a net positive to the productivity of anyone inside the GFW who needs to do something serious, not just “search for pictures of cats”, which by the way, could just turn up lots of porn on baidu.

As for your search results on phone comment, I’ve run afoul of the GFW multiple times on my phone and never had the CIA (Chinese intelligence agency) at my door. They wouldn’t really have time for that, and if they want to target someone specifically, whether google is in China or not is irrelevant.
Managing risk and uncertainty: the future of insurance
Set up a shop buying and selling "secondhand scooter parts" - don't ask too many questions and you could make a nice profit while incentivizing others to dismantle their inventory.
I'm sorry about your daughter, but blaming Tumblr completely for her disordered behavior is incorrect.

Simply being exposed to the existence of behavior doesn't cause a disorder.

She would've developed those behaviors regardless, maybe not to the same degree but you can't 'catch' or 'develop' anorexia nervosa (or any other mental illness) from viewing media. You can absolutely make it way worse, but the seed has to have already been planted.

There are biological and mental predipositions to eating disorders. If people could will themselves to have eating disorders, everyone would have eating disorders. It's a really terrible disease and blaming 'the Internet' papers over the deeper reasons she developed the disorder (pressure to reach high standards, little control, hopelessness, etc)
> I wish Rust, C++, Go, D... could get together and agree on a common ABI/module format.

Don't forget C, with the amount of C code out there you'll have to make sure it can handle this new format. And by the time you limit yourself to the lowest common denominator between all those languages you'd probably just reinvent the C ABI anyway.
Maybe you live in a low usage area, and scooters that just go back and forth in high usage areas generate far more than $16/day?
How about the 30 or so applications I have that save to ~/.something?
Looks interesting, but why is it a library and not a command line tool?

For Kubernetes you don't really want to write a program (one that calls this library) for every single Kubernetes deploy you want to do.

Seeing as Protobuf schemes are parseable, why not just have a command line tool that parses the schema, then combines it with the Starlark declarations to generate Kubernetes manifests?

It could be an interesting competitor to Ksonnet if done right.
Because the law says they are. You don't like it, vote.
It is indeed a widely held opinion that most (but not all, of course) original works are not the best sources to learn from. Over time ideas become clearer, better explanations arise, etc. Professional educators and instructors are important, too.
I discussed this problem with a professor-friend (philosophy of science) of mine. He made two solid points:

(1) The pressure and rapidity of publishing - for many authors - means less time spent on individual projects.

(2) Your expectations as a reader partially determine your judgement as to how much value a book has. As your expectations increase...
More recently we've taken the approach of "close enough is good enough". See Red Dead Redemptions "hilarious" cut scenes where the NPCs get involved, or the horse grts attached to the trains.

Another thing to consider about a replay system is that you don't have to be perfect. What you as a player see isn't what the server(if you have one) sees, and it's not what the other player sees. Your view is only a best guess at that, and for most replay systems in games, they will also be best guesses.
I feel exactly the same... about cars.

In all seriousness, they should have dedicated docking spots but even one parking spot per block would be more than enough and would solve the problem.
I'm not Catholic, but my most revelatory reading this year has been Rene Girard's (a Catholic philosopher/theologian) 20-40 year old books. I guarantee they're not flowery pamphlets, they're mind-blowing.
There are also plenty of people in healthy sexual relationships for whom online pornography of many forms contributes to their fun and enjoyment and deepening relationship together, men and women.

Some people are able to bring fantasy into real life in a healthy way -- arguably healthier than those who would prefer to shut out fantasy.

I'm not saying there aren't people for whom it can be addictive or negative, but that you can't paint it with a broad brush. There are many reasons why pornography can be viewed as sex positive, and a lot of it comes down to context and personal history.
This is such a cool project! Plus a pretty awesome example of using Rust for CLI's. I'm curious about the neural network though. Is that also written in Rust? Or are you embedding something else?
As someone who has literally had Bird scooters discarded on my lawn...
I feel far less safe on a bicycle than I ever do on a Bird/Lime-style scooter. Main reason is I can go a lot slower, bicycles have to maintain a certain amount of inertia and that seriously affects riding habits. If I'm coming up on an intersection I can slow down a lot but if I'm riding a bike, I'm incentivized to blow through. With a scooter, I can go at a safe speed around pedestrians on sidewalks and stop abruptly if necessary with my feet. The inertia requirement makes it difficult to go sufficiently slow around pedestrians on a bike and I always feel like I'm an asshole no matter where I am if not a dedicated bike lane.

I think only familiarity leads people to think that bikes are safer than scooters. Given a choice between an electric bicycle and an electric scooter, now that I've ridden both, give me the scooter any day.
Scoot removed a bunch of them due to theft. I believe they're trying to figure out a locking mechanism before ramping up again.
A lot of it is subjective. Diff people like diff things. Two more things I wish to add to the list:

5) Less need to type a semicolon. Although, this increases the need to use continuation marks. The balance may depend on your coding style.

6) Less need to use the Shift key, overall. If you have RSI medical issues, you may like this.
Its gotten a lot better outside of Santa Monica

I've seen it in snapshots over the last 6 months

regarding your banning campaign, outgoing Governor Brown basically enshrined them into the California fabric just now
I didn't say it doesn't happen. I said it doesn't happen all of the time. The incident you linked to was a big story, I remember it.

If these things happened all of the time they wouldn't be reported in national papers. A mugging in San Francisco isn't in the Washington Post.
Enough to win an election.

Is 250k a big deal in the US, and how does it compare to how much a contractor makes? For reference, in the UK it's common for mid-level Python developers to make around 600£/day which is way above any full-time senior position, so if money was an issue couldn't you just become a contractor instead?

> You can also work on instagram, oculous

Instagram is no better. In fact they're working hard to turn Insta into yet another Facebook.

Oculus will also be just another channel for them to deliver cancer aka ads (look at what's happening with Insta and WhatsApp), so I don't see much point in working on it.

> just take the time to become a better engineer

Maybe, but I'm sure there are other companies that deliver actual value that people want where you can also become a better engineer.

Sorry, I don't agree with making the world worse just for the sake of money.
>What does a "pro-ana" group gain from attracting new members?

Friends. I'm 'part' of a pretty positive one (they allow thinspo but don't encourage it, no one is shamed for speaking about anything they want) and I think in the right conditions, it is actual helpful.

Many people (see thread) shame those with eating disorders and being around others can help recovery by being exposed to others with the disorder, even without having to be shamed by messages. Huge asterisk though. :)
TIL again! I've always wanted to try F#, so I might give it a whirl now. I like learning about these little quality-of-life titbits before jumping into something.
Well the flaw i see in your logic is that all those awesome engineers that don't work for Google are spread all over the place. There's a special magic when you get a bunch of really good engineers working together...

Also I'm not sure where you get the idea that Google churn is higher than elsewhere or that it's grown significantly. To say those remaining don't care anymore implies there has been a dramatic attitude change, what are you basing that on?

As long as Google attracts the best(which i think they generally do) working there will be a signaling trait of a good engineer.
Based on some of the comments regarding the role that foreign countries have in the market, I thoroughly recommend people give "Narconomics" by Tom Wainright a read. It approaches the drug trade from an economic perspective, and I found it quite interesting to read about how prohibition in one market creates problems in other markets that can likely only be solved by ending prohibition.
I was actually in Santa Monica / Venice area for the first time a few weeks ago. I was /floored/ with how many scooters there were. I live in Atlanta and find them to be super awesome and unintrusive, but I could understand how the sheer quantity could put you off of them.

At least realize that they aren't so ridiculously overpopulated in other places -- it's probably the tourists that make it financially worth it to put out a deluge of them.
How does this compare with fzf?
Ebike startups are even making it required that the bike gets docked. So, it's not impossible.
Sanjay's "experimental" directory in Google's repo -- a place where users can commit unreviewed code that are just ideas, or park some code that isn't ripe yet -- is full of gems.

Anybody miss the days when companies were named something that was at least tangentially related to their function?
Uber for scooters. How many times was that autogenerated by one of the million (ironic) startup creator sites? These companies are not worth billions. They have an app, thousands of scooters and a near-slavery workforce. The charade of companies like this being displayed as marvels of capitalism and technology isn't going to last much longer. Uber is wearing out its welcome worldwide already.

Full disclosure, I'm anti scooter. People drive them on the sidewalks, leave them in front of my front door, and I genuinely hope that both of these companies, specifically, fail.

With that disclosure, was anyone else horrified that the lifespan of these scooters is only 3 months?

Are they really removing enough vehicle trips to make these a net positive from an environmental standpoint?
I don't see how it could happen that often and go unreported. The only way would be if the killings happened with the country finding out about it.
One thing I'm interested to see if anyone can discuss what's different this time (i.e, Fed has ~4x more assets on it's balance sheet [and the roll-offs], corporate have ~2x more debt, labor force participation rate is at levels not seen since the 60's, 4 eurodollar "events" since, US gov debt levels since) and how it could theoretically affect the yield gymnastics?

Some banks keep saying 2020 is the big one since that's when most of the corporate debt will be need to rolled over onto higher rates, but I'm of the mind we don't even make it that far because of even shorter term liabilities (think corporate buybacks with debt at higher rates that will increasingly put pressure on balance sheets m/m, liquidity pressure risk assets, devaluation on collateral) in this environment.
That's possible, but with a range of only 15 miles and they're most likely only getting charged at night, that's a max revenue of around $35/day for a scooter. I doubt there's enough scooters maxing out each day to offset the losers.
Should car engineers feel bad because a few people have used the cars they designed improperly and intentionally killed people with them?
Love that kind of commentary Elon provides.
Selling to whom?
By the same token, your comment reminds me of an engineer who puts serious effort into making his work look more important than it is. Even the term "feature engineering" is pretty ridiculous. As if academics found real-world data to be too messy and decided to outsource this little cost to.....a department of expert feature-makers(?)
Is there any products that you can by that have an ESP32?
And yet, due to a myriad confluence of historical accidents, there are innumerable texts which become "de-canonized" with the centuries. And are eagerly awaiting a new audience to once again gain reverence.

Consider Caxton's Polycronicon printed at the dawn of movable type, circa 1490. An encyclopedia of universal history, it deserves no less a place on the bookshelf than Gawain, Beowulf or the Mabinogian. But few will make reference to it today. Nor the thousands of other lost texts of the period known as the incunabula, the first half-century of transmission via printing press. A time in history that saw an explosion in literacy and design experimentation.

I think if a YouTube creator is getting four hours of attention per month from millions of viewers (like a popular weekly TV show), they are probably getting pretty good revenue. I don’t think creators who earn less are getting ripped off, their market is just divided between many more attention-seeking channels.
