Shanghai and London may have similar costs of living after certain factors are accounted for, but that’s a coincidence not a rule. Compare Manchester and London. London has much higher rents and higher prices in shops, bars and restaurants. Everything else is about the same. Ergo, London has a higher cost of living.
But your savings would not be "wiped out". They'd just be lower.

You're making a big divide between the two paths though which really should not exist. If you are not enjoying your life, the fire plans won't work for you because they'll leave you with the same money to live on in retirement.

There's a reason the common advice is to build the life you want then save for it.

> Aside from economic collapses, there's is a similar potential that comes in the form of unexpected early death.)

Which is unlikely but:

1. Retiring early gives me a greater chance of not working until I die.

2. If I die and am living with no spare savings and at the upper end of what I earn, my wife and son will struggle more without me. With significant savings they'll be financially secure.

To be a bit shorter, my favourite response to "but what if I die young" is "but what if you don't?".

Really, sacrificing income where your utility curve plateaus means you're giving up not much now for more later. And the realistic worst cases are mitigated significantly by having savings or investments.

I'd rather risk not having some stuff I don't really care about now and dying at 40, than risk dying at 70 still working but with a few more trinkets around me.

On the flip side, you could see a person selling their labour as having some right/stake in doing something which interests them.

These outcomes are then compromises which give something to the producer, as well as to the customer.
Where does that reference "stop". Every utility still has a base cost.

Also, I'm pretty sure that the richest in Romania has a much higher income than the poorest in America. But they still pay the same price.

Ps. What if you reference it with social health care in Romania vs US. Not everybody works, you know.
Satire is a difficult thing, both on the internet and off. But especially on :-D . Still, I'm sure many people noted the irony in your original comment, and still didn't like it. Being Russian shouldn't really qualify for suspicion, on it's own.
I don't mind functional UI updates (e.g., adding a search bar, when previously you had to scroll). But design changes are made simply for design purposes by big-tech companies are frustrating because when they do an update, it puts pressure on everyone else to follow their design to avoid looking out of date.

For example, just a few months ago, Google used square rectangles for the search bar, and advocated "cards" with sharp corners in their material design standards. However, just recently, they updated gmail and google search to use rounded rectangles in the search bar instead of rectangles. Are rectangles better or worse than rounded rectangles? Yes? No? The answer is, it doesn't matter for usability. But because Google is so big and has such influence, now, if your site uses a rectangular search bar with sharp corners users will perceive it as "dated".

There are many similar examples of this. Microsoft's metro UI was cool and popular for maybe a full 6 months. Clean Helvetica font was everyone's aspiration, then Google pushed Lato, and now it's Robato, until they change their mind again. Small 11pt font used to be the norm, then very large readable 14pt font was the norm, and now we're back to something like 12pt. Single page applications a while ago were avoided, then became so popular they were effectively a pre-requisite, and now they should only be used "where appropriate".

I think Google make these changes not to make their site look good and refreshing, but to make everyone else's look old and dated.
Have fun with it being abandoned by Google in X years.

Might as well develop natively if it's only good for Android.

Flutter imitates native by rendering everything from scratch, after a few major updates to iOS that's bound to be abandoned.

CO2 like nuclear waste is effectively cost that you let future generations pay. Nuclear energy as we have it now is not a solution.

The same money that would go into taking over costs for private nuclear companies could easily flow into new technologies and energetic cycles, some of which the US is actively working against on political and economic levels.

Climate change will have an incredible impact on migration, so the best way to reduce CO2 is to make it in a way that gives Africa and its people a future. You could e.g. Force CO2 neutrality for carbon plants by having them plant trees in Africa. Which not only would reduce their CO2 impact and create jobs where they are needed to stop future drama, but increase soil stability, help with the increasing temperatures and potentially even provide food.

Btw. Coal plants are heavily regulated over hear in Europe — the filters they have to have have the size of a little house.

The question is: is the future more important than beeing/staying the geopolitical and economical leader? It is only about priorities and not about the unavailability of solutions. Are tou willing to give up long term competitveness for short term gain?

Petrol could be replaced by closed Ethyl cycles produced by solar panels in the sahara (which would again create jobs there) and we wouldn’t have to use electric cars whose battery production costs more CO2 than the car would save. The infrastructure to use Ethyl is basically there (If I am not wrong the Chinese add over 10% of Ethyl to their petrol already).

I think the solution are closed cycles. If water wouldn’t have a cycle on it’s own or without us creating it we would all have died of thirst.

In my experience, only about 40% of redesigns actually are a visual upgrade. All the others are just a visual change.

Visual changes are irrelevant at best, and actively harmful at worst.

By all means, improve the website and the design, but actually improve it.

Both Octave and MATLAB have had a symbolic toolbox for ages, and can export to many vector graphics formats, from .ps to .svg.

> The people who use your application, don't like change. They like to go on autopilot after they've learned something, it's just plain easier for them.

This oft repeated quote. The thing is if this was the case we wouldn't have moved beyond command line interface. That was hands down the most performant user interface design for the people who were in the know.

But not so for new users and when new commands needed to be introduced.
I've been working in the car industry for 5 years and the last 2 with a big German car manufacturer which gave us a lot of money to set up something on the side which would work better. Once we showed that we probably can do it (after 1,5 years) they started getting interested in the project and that's where the problems started.

Long story short they are forcing us to do things as they always been done even though they asked us to change them in the first place.
> I don't know why someone has to use 'rectified linear unit' to describe this simple operation.

To quote some snarky comedian whose name escapes me, because words have meanings. The way I understand it, "rectified" here has an analogous in physics. Beyond saving characters, it also tells that the purpose of this function is similar to the one people use when dealing with current. If I were either a physicist or someone used to deal with wave functions, the title alone would tell me everything I need to know. And I bet the type of people who care about activation functions are the type of people who knows what rectifiers are.

I would argue that learning NNs includes learning the jargon needed to speak about them, the same way learning the meaning of "pointer" is required for programming.

On the other hand, maybe I'm just rationalizing the time I spent learning jargon.
ReactXP is the most mature mobile/desktop RN project and being used to develop the new Skype.

It provides common components to glue react-windows, react-macos, and react-native together.

The downside is you have to roll most of the components yourself due to a lack of UI lib, but it has all of the core components, and imo that's better.

The really cool thing about react-windows is it builds UWP apps so you can target Xbox, W10, and Windows Mixed Reality natively. MacOS support is experimental but the core is there. Linux support can be achieved with Electron (I know, not native, but maybe someone will make a react-qt project)

+1 ..I've been buying coffee recently from 7-11 in the morning, and I noticed there credit card swiper UI. When I use my debit card, ive always used 'credit' not debit, and im sure a huge % of people do the same, and here are the steps...
Swipe card
Is this a debit card? Y/N
I Click No
Do you want cash back? Y/N
I Click No
Then you must click cancel to run to bring up credit option ( but no instructions to do so)
Then click credit, then click okay to the amount.
Then its finally completes the purchase.. now each step takes a few seconds after each click, and you must use there stylus because just usingyour fingers wont work!
I know this is a random comment, but UI related and ivd just noticed this recently, every 711 here on long island has the same machines! It doesnt seem like alot of steps but i bet the lines would move alot faster if they tweaked the UI a tiny bit!
Federated learning would be amazing for medical data. It has hard to get data out of hospitals, so training models locally and merging them is a nice feature.

Of course, one has to make sure the training data cannot be inferred from the model.

You're being downvoted because people disagree with you.

I've researched both, and Flutter is far from superior.

They don't have a production way to target desktop platforms, and it's not a native experience, it's an emulated UI. It's noticeable on iOS.

Also noone wants to learn a language from Google just for it to be abandoned in X years.

Even if they don't abandon the language, how can you expect Flutter, which hinges on them updating the renderer for every release of iOS to match the native look and feel (which it fails at right now), to stay alive? Google can barely maintain a chat app let alone emulate a UI that isn't theirs.

And this is all for an experimental OS they haven't even put full faith in yet.
> Now everybody could just use plain English - if you have a negative number, set it to zero, in all other cases, keep the number - I don't know why someone has to use 'rectified linear unit' to describe this simple operation.

I agree this is often a problem, but "rectified linear unit" isn't a deep learning term that was made up, as you obviously know from your physics background - its origins are in AC/DC power conversion. Anyone who knows basic signal processing knows what a rectifier is, and something that employs that function is a unit of it.

There's plenty of nonsensical complexity in machine learning, but rectifiers and sigmoids and other 10-cent words describing maths aren't overly complicated, in my opinion.

Lastly, saying "if you have a negative number, set it to zero, in all other cases, keep the number" is a lot more complicated and tedious than just saying "apply a rectifier." Would "ramp function" be acceptably plain?

... which one's supposed to be bad? If the website'd[0] had a UI similar to the left back when I briefly tried it in ~2010, I might've stuck around. I stopped using it after a couple weeks because I couldn't figure out where anything was, or where anything I posted was going to "go".

In terms of mobile UI, left looks like it'd let me answer the question "why's my badge have a number on it?" very efficiently, and to prioritize badge-number-dropping activities by category, which is great.

[EDIT] [0] Yes I know this is a mobile UI, not the desktop website, I'm saying left is clearer than the website was and, from what I see of it on other people's screens, is.

[EDIT AGAIN] I'd buy the argument that right has higher "engagement", though.

[ONE MORE TIME] man I shouldn't post pre-coffee. I initially took this to be old-left-new-right which is obviously wrong. Basic point stands, I don't get what's wrong with this as a user though it may well make metrics worse.
You never hear such stories about the French car industry. Didn't you?

I know engineers how left Opel after the merger with PSA because PSA is that what you describe. At Opel it was much different.

It used to be also different at Mercedes. Engineers are leaving right now Mercedes because they "streamline" their engineering. Which basically means cutting cost in terms that engineers who worked for the next generation cars now have to develop as well for the series production. THAT is killing innovation. Because developing for series production means developing with cutting costs in mind, like can we spare this resistor or that memory.

Al the engineers I worked with are not working for the series production but always thinking 10 years ahead and planing, developing and testing new ideas.

Apple killed its "automotive business" not without a reason. Because automotive is very much different than IT software. Automotive systems are highly connected embedded device. The next BMW 7 series released in 2021 will have 20 different CAN bus based networks. Automotive development means also development with preventing bugs in the first place. Because finding bugs by testing in these highly complex systems is next to impossible. This development style makes development slow. Because it is not the mind set "we can fix that later". Updates are expansive. Previously it meant they need to pay the service stations. Today with OTA it means to pay the telecoms.

Automotive development means also thinking about obsolesce. Yes, people get every 2 years a new phone. But what it with old once. An iPhone 4 these days is almost completely unusable. While some people have their cars new every 3 years, the average car usage is 16 years, in the US, IIRC. That means the average car is older than the smartphone as we know it. Automotive development means to develop with predicting the future 15 to 20 years ahead. Parts needs to be available, because people want to have their car serviced.

I just want to remind that Teslas with AP1 don't get no more updates. That is breaking his promise that all Teslas, all as in ALL, will improve by OTA. That is how old?

I know that other OEM are going the same route. But I don't see this as a disruption or innovation at all. It just means more land fill and is an environmental disaster.

BTW: My truck for pleasure is over 44 years old with no electronics at all. My car is a 18 year old Volvo, the first were Volvo introduced CAN and LIN, and I know the engineer who where responsible for that at that time.

But the question wasn't whether you can successfully land a small, single-engine land plane in VFR conditions after training for hundreds of hours on a simulator (though I am surprised and impressed that you were able to do this).

It was whether a successful takeoff is indicative of a good chance of a successful landing. Speaking strictly about small single-engine Cessnas--in which I have a (lapsed) private pilot's certificate--I'd say it isn't. Landing is, as the parent poster said, harder than takeoff.

I don't think any of this is relevant to the larger discussion, though. First, the pilot did have some certification, though it's unclear from the article in what. Second, neither my experience nor, it sounds, yours, gives me any insight at all into how hard it is to land a modern airliner. ;)
