To be held in contempt may not mean much to Musk. The SEC apparently takes violations of agreements seriously, as it should. We don't need companies building up their valuations with fake news so that we can end up with another 2008. It's in taxpayers' interest to keep misleading CEO's like Musk in check. And, this is a very small "check" to his power. In fact, it is something he already agreed to do. If he didn't want to follow the agreement, he didn't need to settle with the SEC, which is what he did for about a day before turning back and settling with them.

It seems he is changing his mind again about that settlement. Apparently nothing is settled with Musk. He changes his mind daily. How can someone run a company like this? Employees must be afraid to do anything without his say-so, and even then it may not hold true for long.

Its commonly used to enhance the performance of web apps, ex: to put less load on your database by caching, to provide faster queries, session handling so your database doesn't has to do it, and of course, many more use cases.

I can tell you that every DOE lab has scientists and programmers working together. In fact, the two largest super computers, Summit and Sierra, are GPU based, and there's a huge decrease in power consumption. For example: Summit (#1) has ~7.5x the power of Titan (#9, and at the same facility: ORNL) but only uses ~20% more electricity (Summit and Sierra are GPU based)[0]. Aurora, the planned exascale machine, will be 5x Summit and only use 20MW (~2x power) (actually that's the number that's the hard upper limit). That's a big deal. And a bunch of teams there are working on making everything more efficient and how to better utilize resources.

I did, but I am not sure the use case was right. Inherited an old web forms project and tried switching from Memcached to Redis. It didn't work out due to a large number of serialization/deserialization of object stores. The .net Redis library was causing a massive amount of garbage collection storms. I was probably asking it to do too much though.

But it (aside from the $20 million fine) it isn’t even a punishment. Every publicly-traded company has their tweets reviewed. Every. Single. One. It’s normal.

It also supports other data structures, like lists, sets, and hashes. Super fast, and probably the best documentation I have ever seen.
No, it's not mentioned. It's currently a mix of very simple techniques

- a number of smart features (usually a few k) depending on the series (using lags, aggregates, curve fits, combinations of features, ...)

- an iterative algorithm that selects features using maximum relevance (~ correlation with the target) / minimum redundancy and adds them to the model

- simple pca and ridge regression (because it's fast)

- a few optimizations of the final model (removing features, selecting a better ridge regression alpha with CV, ...)

The stack is pure Clojure / Clojurescript.
The salt and plowing trucks are part of the maintenance of the road needed for the cars. You defeat your own point here.
So lets consider one use case. We have a website where people login and we create a session to track that user across different pages on the website. Now the session will have data like user name (to display on the website), the user's location or IP address, the user's preferences, etc. So whilst the browser and the website communicate with a cookie (to identify this session), we need to store this session data somewhere. You can use a file or a database to read and write to this session data which works fine. But redis shines in this example where the speed is very good and you also have the session id as they 'key' and the session data as the 'value' that you can store.

Redis gives you amazing speed and because it provides a kv interface, the work is very easy.

Finding out that I could name variables whatever I wanted was a revelation.

>Is this research somehow tied into the relationship between UI and imaging AR head mounted displays or are you focussing on tablet/phone AR?

It's focused on having virtual/AR content that is rendered by an AR HMD like the HoloLens, but which is rigidly anchored to a handheld object. So, for example, having extra windows or panels on a phone that float beyond the rectangle that defines the physical smartphone shape.

>This is actually why I think Magic Leap made a smart decision by making their device so 'enclosed' (as opposed to MSHL that is extremely open and unoccluded), which effectively artificially narrows the peripheral vision.

I think this was an issue that the HoloLens 1 had/has in terms of the plastic "eyeglasses" region -- because it looks like it wraps around the full eye FOV when looking at the headset before putting it on, users are disappointed when they wear it and it's revealed just how (relatively) low the FOV is. Setting proper expectations is important for users.
The device is marketed for industry applications. The presentation never mentioned any other kind of application for it. The price point precludes gaming outright at 3500$. The applications are in fields where contextual information in the real world can make a difference. Consumer AR is a few years off and might be something very different. The Hololens isn't that.

Well, I don't know about temperature, but we do know that plants grow faster in the presence of excessive CO2. But that's a double-edged sword, because their nutritional value per unit mass goes down, in terms of trace nutrients - with abundant CO2, they can use more air to build more empty carbs, but that means the critical nutrients they pull from the soil are present in lower concentrations.
You are correct, anyone of any age can sign a contract, but a contract in almost all states with an under-age person means basically nothing, not even the paper it's printed on. So yes, you can sign a contract as an under-age person, but the child is not bound to the contract until they reach an age of majority and also choose to be bound by it. I apologize for not being clearer. Which is why basically no one anywhere tries to get children to sign contracts, as it's generally just a waste of time. I know you said that, but your language wasn't very clear(to me at least), so I thought I'd make it much much clearer: Contracts with under age people in basically all US states are voidable by the child for any reason, at any time.

I.e. If I'm under age, and I get you to loan me $$$ for a computer, I promptly destroy it, return it, and claim I don't owe you any money anymore either, well most states would say it's your fault for being dumb enough to loan a child money and you are out the $$$'s you gave me, with no recourse.

I did say Sponsor. Yes, all schools have limits to what they will cover, and definitely as you say, if it's not limited to the student community (i.e. parents, etc) then it's likely to get scrutinized a lot more before being accepted for sponsorship, but plays, sports, etc are all generally open to the public and are sponsored by the school.

Most schools will also happily rent their space(s) after hours for a generally modest to small fee (say compared to going rate for rent from a business), since public schools can't make money at it.

Not at all. I was making the point that there are lots of trucks on most roads all the time, not that they aren't necessary.

Also, while salt makes the road drive-able in the winter, it actually does long term damage to the road (increases the number of freeze/thaw cycles.) Similar with plows: they increase the rate at which the road surface deteriorates. While they both are necessary to keep roads operable for vehicles in the winter, they are the opposite of maintenance longer term as far as the road surface is concerned.
> This is what I used to think, but every year the "Tesla killers" fail to kill, or even wound.

The "Tesla killers" have been sleeping, but they are about to wake up. No doubt Tesla jump started the market, but the other manufacturers have decades of experience. On top of that, no other car maker has the problems that Tesla does due to its CEO and his inability to stop tweeting. Whilst Tesla had a start start, it fell behind in many other areas like production, delivery and customer service. Other car companies have been doing this successfully for decades. There are hundreds of horror stories on the Tesla forums and on reddit of people having nightmarish customer service experiences with Tesla, and delivery problems. Elon Musk himself has enlisted volunteers to help deliver the cars. Do you think an established car manufacturer like Toyota or Ford will have any problem in getting their vehicles anywhere on the face of the Earth?

When the giants have fully woken up, I suspect they'll utterly trample on Tesla.
Well what I mean is that an end days prophecy starts with a quarter of the world population put down by famine, war, plagues, and breakdown of civilization to the point a leading cause of death was from wild beasts. The figure is around two billion. So doom is on the menu, maybe that is what we could be served from South Asia.
It is fair because there are very few options for authoring Rust code. Regardless of who is responsible, a robust and working toolchain is sort of the minimum bar for a language, and yes it's open source, and yes I've looked at the code, but no it's not worth the time right now because better options exist. I'm super familiar with C++ compile times but again, there exist a lot of infrastructure to at least help with that or eliminate it completely (with some tricks). I'm not saying Rust will never get there, but for me, too soon too early.
You sound pretty hyped about AR. The Hololens seems to have considerable shortcomings. But I agree that eventually, AR can do a lot of good. I believe that truly intelligent AR headsets have the ability to support e.g. certain cases of people with mental disorders enough in their daily lives to become much more independent and free. These devices operate in real world contexts and can record them, process them and act on them. For starters, imagine an assistant that remembers perfectly where you left your car keys or your glasses while you are still half asleep in the morning. In the long term, these devices can do much more. The flipside is that they need to have always on cameras and maybe always on micriphones to be useful. This has ramifications of its own.
I don't know why this is being down-voted. Anyone care to elaborate? If we don't want to rely on centralised manufacturing we need to be able to make computers in the privacy of our own homes. Otherwise, whoever controls the entities that manufacture our computers can put in backdoors. The government has straight-up said that they want backdoors into all encryption. Worrying about this, and making progress towards decentralised manufacture, doesn't seem crazy to me.

The wording makes it extremely unclear. Both Company don't "Fab" those SoC. What you are suggesting is Qualcomm doesn't want to give the IP to Apple for Modem SoC Integration, and Apple doesn't want to give their IP to Qualcomm's SoC designed specially for Apple.

While those point are valid they are not the reason Apple have a separate Modem Chip. The design of iPhone had the Modem literally in a completely isolated system, and act more like a USB modem directly connected to the Internal iPhone for security purposes.

And as other have mentioned the integrated of Modem within the SoC have minimal impact to overall battery life.
Well, humans are already capable of dealing with it. The judges know that prisoners know what is expected of a good prisoner. The decisions are already being made with that in mind.

Contrast this with evaluating a programmer's performance. Everyone knows that lines of code written, number of tickets closed, number of fixed bugs or lines of documentation written do correlate well with performance. But the minute they are revealed to impact performance reviews, those metrics becone trash. Until you can find viable instruments, you shouldn't ever put those into a model and expect to have good predictions. If your model is not explicitly equipped to deal with endogeneity (like structural equation models), it will fail when faced with it.

If you think a judge is influenced by things that are unrelated to the case, you should appeal to the court above (which you can readily do in Continental Europe, but I don't know about Common Law).
I think the focus, then, should be on holding elected officials accountable for their actions. I don't think Nadella's argument is particularly persuasive, but we should all understand our way of life is worth fighting for, and in those justified circumstances our government should have the required tools to carry that job out, no matter how unfortunate war is.
It would make sense to use a differentiated sales tax for car for hire services. That'd be proportional with usage. It would also tax people who don't have a car and externalize car taxes and maintainance costs by using these services. EU countries already do ths for things like food, books, accomodation and restaurant services. Usually the sales tax is smaller for these sectors.

I don't think they're trying to argue that Uber and Lyft created LA traffic but I would agree that their arrival put more cars on the roads. There's a huge market of people who are willing to pay a little extra to avoid the hassle of LA public transportation and considering that, in general, people Uber to busy places (LAX, downtown, etc.), it's bringing more cars onto the already clogged roads that wouldn't be there otherwise.
