Have steel roof, can confirm. It makes a satisfying sliding then silence then thump noise.

It makes shoveling a path adjacent to the house kind of a pain because you have to shovel it after snow falls and then again after the snow falls from the roof. Shoveling snow is also a lot more interesting when you have to listen for the sliding sound and GTFO or hug the house if you hear it.

Overall 10/10.
That's not really "shocking wealth inequality", but more like a
shocking display of wealth inequality.

Most cities around the developed world will spend more effort to herd the "undesirables" into some corners far away from fancy shopping districts. We can debate the pros and cons (after all, nobody benefits from having to avoid human feces on sidewalk), but I don't think SF has much more actual inequality than most other cities.
> the Saudis are retreating to this story, what is the theory on what may have really happened?

The dominant one (and what the CIA has reportedly concluded) is that the Crown Prince (the effective ruler of the Kingdom) ordered the murder; the precise motivation isn't (AFAIK) clear; Kashoggi was a critic of the regime with a significant media impact, but what in particular led to the killing is murky, but MBS isn't running a warm fuzzy regime that is generally respectful of human rights and individual liberty, so while them killing a dissident Saudi journalist abroad is unusual, it's not much outside of their normal patterns; murdering dissidents (or executing them without an opportunity for presenting a defense) isn't new, nor is surveillance and harassment of Saudi dissidents abroad.

> This back and forth, I thought, stemmed from the idea that the recording is or could have been faked (unclear by who, Turkey?)

Yes, and that was the initial Saudi claim when Turkey claimed to have tape. Apparently, some of Saudi Arabia’s defenders haven't caught up with the new regime story, which no longer denies anything that is believed based on the tape alone, but only the attribution of the acts captured in the tape to the command of the leadership rather than rogue elements, which (AFAIK) is not at all rooted in the tape content itself.

> for middle class white males it doesn't matter what school is on your resume

That's not what the studies show. What the studies show is that, if you're a well-off white male who is in the top 1% academically then it doesn't matter, long-term financially, where you go to university.

I mean, I found the article interesting but that's a pretty niche bunch of chaps right there.
Apple did perform the same beauty contest as Amazon. They just didn't put up as many posters advertising it.

In Northern Virginia they were pitched the same two locations as Amazon. I have no idea when Amazon did their in person tour of the locations but I know when Apple did because they made sure local TV and print journalists were there to capture them touring the Crystal City location that Amazon ultimately selected. Local papers and TV both had stories about it in their next editions.

Neither of the two sites make any sense for what is mostly going to be a giant call center. Still Apple came and made sure there was plenty of coverage of it. Obviously Apple was playing some sort of PR game.
I have family out there. Over the summer, they said that a fairly large % of houses were not appraising for selling price, requiring buyers to make up the difference between what the bank would lend and what the selling price was in cash.

To me, that was a pretty clear indicator of where that housing market was heading.

The speedup is for the whole network, as the graph labels show! The point of the compiler is that you produce code that implements the entire forward pass so you can deploy that code where you need to do the inference.

I agree we need AVX-512 -- hopefully I can get access to a SkylakeX machine in the next few days.

The Federal Reserve would no doubt respond in the same way if we find ourselves in a similar situation.
I’m not so sure that’s the case though, as for example Talmudic law prohibits castrating animals. A gelded oxen is much calmer and easier to work with than a bull. I think it certainly varies from society to society, but ancient agrarian traditions also respect animals in ways you might not expect.
No changes are required in the library -- you just need to have some way of generating the code for the forward pass using e.g. cuDNN (which already has a heuristic selector!)

You can at least be reassured in the fact that ongoing regular donations allow an organization to better plan long-term future outlays. Matched donations/special promotions are great for funding shorter-term projects, making up for shortfalls in expected donations or building a reserve for future expansion of their mission. Both are valuable to the organization.
For what it's worth, most of those sites already have Apple locations and are being expanded. Austin is Apple's second largest campus. Culver City already has something like 500-700 employees, and even Pittsburgh is where things like iWork are made. So these are all pretty natural. Also keep in mind that several of the sites were in CA, so not likely anything to do with "stupid CA policies and CoL".

Nope. Not thinking of flippers.

As I mentioned, I personally know three people who typify what is happening. One is a commercial airline pilot. Another is military. The third is an electrician.

The electrician might be the one who would be most typically a "flipper" except that he has no time for that kind of nonsense because he's also a foster parent for Clark County.

> Engineering is not "the study of heat transfer and classical mechanics," engineering is "the application of physics (or whatever other science is helpful) to practical design problems."

I basically agree, but there's an important human-institutional aspect to this: An alternate useful definition of physicist (engineer) is "a person who work in a physics department/lab (engineering department/shops)". And despite common misconceptions, the sort of thing that binds departments together is not the goal of the work (learning basic laws vs. building useful things) but rather the collection of techniques/tools/ideas that people learn and apply in those places.

In other words, even though the goals of "materials physics" have for decades been much closer to engineering and design, there is a reason people continue to call it physics: because, at least for the time being, the sort of training you go through to become a materials physicist is mostly done in a physics department, and the methods by which materials physicist evaluate each other is closer to physics than to engineering.

Nostromo is also kind of describing the savings and loan crisis back in the 80s and 90s. The difference is that it wasn't money-center banks that were in trouble, and the government closed a bunch of institutions rather than printing money and bailing people out.

Layers are integral in Docker, layers were pushed as enabling reuse, composibility, 'immutability', every 'run' statement is a layer. They are not an implementation detail. Managing all these layers adds complexity and impact users from choosing storage drivers, to using layers to building images, and if you are going to use layers you need to be a privileged user to mount all these layers. [1]

Here is an example. I build an Nginx container with no layers from a base alpine image. Users can download and run it in a layer so the original Nginx container remains untouched or run a copy of it. If there is a security alert or update I rerun the build. No layers used. You build the same Nginx container will multiple layers, and have all the overhead of tracking and managing these layers. And users then download the Nginx container made up of all these layers and run it. If there is a security update in any lower layers it needs to rebuild. You have used a workflow and designed an entire system based on stacking layers to compose and build your image. That is a lot of overhead and complexity in basic image management. What is the benefit?

So cool to see CWL used in the wild.
I once used this technique to make a 2D pseudo-lidar sensor from a camera mounted on a indoor vehicle, it worked fairly well when used on uniformly textured flooring. After transforming the camera input image using an IPT, you could do some basic trig to figure out the distances away from the camera to non-floor objects.
They aren't tied at all -- in fact the optimizer is a totally separate project (triNNity-optimizer) that just does graph optimization. You can add user defined kernels as long as you have some way of microbenchmarking them!
Exchanges handle odd lot orders nowadays. Maybe some brokers or dark pools do not, but they are not exchanges (their quote is not protected, or they show no quote).

I am not sure how else you can interpret ‘by any means’.

But, sure that is just the common interpretation of those words and could in theory change. Though, good luck convincing a judge of such.
Excellent and coherent comment.
There's also the "theoretical physicist" vs the "experimental physicist", the experimental physicist is closer to the engineer, and validates the results.

I was so close (about a nanometer!) to adopting FreeBSD as my desktop OS due to it's plethora of software, amazing package management, great usage of RAM, and roots in true Unix, but one sad day, I installed WINE. It was working with all the applications I expected it to, except for one... Steam. The WINE version was too old. I tried and tried again, even compiling it straight from the staging git branch, but it didn't compile. Alas, FreeBSD is my server OS. It keeps my at least a bit sane knowing I have FreeBSD somewhere in my home.
The US definition of "the point where space begins" is 50 miles (80 km) above sea level, though this was mostly to eliminate an inconsistency between the NASA definition (which was the Karman line) and the USAF definition (which was 50 miles).

Either way, it a fairly arbitrary point in a continuous gradient of decreasing atmospheric pressure that makes an even base-10 number in the predominant unit of measurement, so I guess you can pin this on Americans not using the metric system.

Fiat money has properties which your proposed "stablecoin" doesn't, like a reason for people to wish to receive it as payment in the first place (people need to settle debts and tax payments denominated in that currency) and a central bank which acts to reduce the amount in circulation when inflation gets too high (Venezuela's central bank isn't doing that and you've noted the result...).

Incentivizing spending rather than hoarding just means you hit the lower bound (probably zero, unless receiving units of your coin is really, really technically interesting to some people) earlier...

When you're building a component that will be used as part of larger applications, possibly written by other people, declaring things as private lets you cordon off internal parts of the component so that it's safer to change them in the future without breaking the applications using it

Someone trying to make an application work that is looking at your classes in a debugger is going to poke at whatever inside details they can see that helps them get their job done quicker. Now if you change that their application breaks when they update. Not good for anyone.

Privates make it easier for component developers to get things done without worrying about breaking users, and makes it easier for users to upgrade their components without it breaking as much
I think the admissions practices are largely fine, and they dont, by design, aim to keep poor people out (as you suggested).

I think that these schools could do a better job at educating potential applicants and the circle of people around said potential applicants much better. In my opinion, the internet has democratized this process considerably over the past 20 years or so, but I think there is still considerable room for improvement, especially by the universities themselves.

Federal agencies are required by law to request input from the public on policy changes. They are supposed to respond to this input when possible, though they are not necessarily restricted by it.

They are required to consider them by law. What you're saying is that cheating is ok, and laws can be ignored.

They may be routinely ignored, but there is a price to pay for ignoring the law. Even parking tickets you can brush off for a while but you'll pay (a lot) later.

Or is something different for this administration?
Going vegan isn't easy at all, I even doubt it's possible if you care about your protein intake. Plant sources are very carb rich and more and more evidence suggests high carb, low fat diets aren't good for humans. There is simply no way to get enough protein from plant sources unless you wanna eat highly processed tofu every day. A full vegan, high protein diet would require eating low carb tofu at least 2 meals a day. Otherwise you need to accept taking exorbitant amounts of carb to get enough protein (basically, from beans). Seeing that how popular weightlifting in young Americans (especially males) today, suggesting "vegan diet is easy" is intellectual dishonesty.

I'm not arguing anything about ethics or availability or cost of vegan diet. There is simply no evidence suggesting full vegan diet is healthy. The most alarming thing about vegan diet is that you'll have absolutely no source of Omega 3 except expensive açai berry and walnut (all other plant sources have trace amount of Omega 3). So in a vegan diet you get excess amount of carbs (especially sugars) and Omega 6 which causes inflammatory diseases. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/11/171113095430.h...

If I were vegan I would eat Trader Joes low carb tofu, avacado, açai berries and walnut every day, all day and supplement it with high fiber veggies like broccoli, and brussel sprouts. This is simply not feasible and practical from a cost and social aspect. Eat too much fruits to get cheap, and widely available calories and you'll get bizarre amounts of fructose. Good luck with that.
why are you tipping 15% for mediocre service? that just ups expectations and sets the bar low for quality service. of course tipping is a choice but there are social pressures. i prefer to hover around 10% for normal service but you can be made to feel like an asshole around people who default to 15-25% for even poor service, even though i am consistent and will often increase the tip greatly based upon great service. it isn't just an individual decision.

I think theory with the cold was not related to temperature differential embrittlement, but sulfur embrittlement in the fabrication process.

In the case of the steel in the titanic, the theory is that there was excessive amounts of suphur in the steel, which "coats" the grain boundaries between ferrite crystals in the steel and causes brittle failures. Modern steels add Manganese to counteract this effect. Sulphur embrittlement is worse at colder temperatures, but will not be effected by heating/cooling cycles unless the heating is so intense that you get past critical temperature and recrystallize the steel (~2300 F).
I hope this gets challenged in court at some point. The rules went into effect on September 28, 2001 as a knee-jerk reaction to the dot bomb and 9/11:

http://www.finra.org/investors/day-trading-margin-requiremen...

The real story is that the plebes realized they could make 2% per day by day trading and selling short. I did this with my dad and we were up about $40k before 9/11 wiped out most people's gains (this was back when Apple stock was in the $12-20 range). Edit: my dad never sold short because he felt it was unsupportive of companies, but had he done it to balance each of the buy/sell targets I gave him, he would have been up $80k.

I remember being demoralized that I couldn't trade on margin because I would likely never be able to save $25k with my student loan and credit card debt. But if I read the rules correctly now, I don't even think you can sell short anymore unless you have $25k.

This keeps the real day trading profits back in the hands of the rich and I feel that it could/should be challenged as discrimination. Also it breaks the ZOI rule so doesn't sit right with me..
