This is exactly right. Per-capita, gaming is terrible these days. But, most of the games that come out can be ignored. Articles like this one aren't necessarily wrong, but they forget that a user can simply ignore most of the releases out there and play the 1% that are worth their time.

It seems to be a necessary choice these days as media continues to be pumped out at historic levels. Ignore most of it, even if it's pretty good.

Wow. That thing looks amazing! I'd probably rather have something like the Surefly (hybrid electric octocopter, largely autonomous) for boring commuting, but this looks like an amazingly fun vehicle for recreational riding.
The Caltrain horns are so loud I have decided I believe in a conspiracy theory - the volume was mandated in the name of "safety" by a lobbying group secretly working for the auto industry.

Nowhere else I've been are trains so obnoxiously loud.

Eh, you use rotations if you're specifically looking for rotation invariance. Also, it's hard to tell how confused the network actually is since it's not really predicting 'probability' of a class (even though the term is commonly used). Quite often neural nets just output the most 'probable' class with an oversized probability estimate due to how the most common classification layer works.
In Russia at least for awhile there was a thriving business of insurance fraud where pedestrians try really hard to get cars to hit them. Dashcams became essential safety equipment. Throws a lot of mud in that water.
How do you enforce this? For instance, what happenes when a company uses your code for a close source software. Is there methods to detect it? If so, do you have to pay out of your own pocket for the lawsuit?
I just don't understand how any thinking person can argue this. If women were actually taking less money for the same output then why would anyone hire a man?

> Not sure about the privacy section. I really dislike the full blown law text

You're doing a really good job with privacy already, but IMO you are underselling the fact that your site is privacy conscious. It might be refreshing to read something like this (example from one of my blogs):

You may notice I don’t use cookies to track you, or provide share buttons, or ask you for your email. You can subscribe to new articles via RSS feed from the comfort of a browser. In accordance with strict Samizdat principles I encourage you to copy/paste anything you see here and publish however you see fit. There is no need to give credit either.

... it doesn't 100% fit your use-case but I'm sure you can adapt it to something similar and point to the fact that you do care about your users privacy more than the average site that displays the GDPR wall. If you consider the many ways tracking happens a minimalist attitude might be really appealing (at least to those who bother to read it). Pointing to your philosophy on this explicitly can't hurt.
>The US doesn’t acknowledge dual citizenship

From my understanding the US just pretends that you are only a US citizen. Which doesn't sound like a problem.
It goes on for the same reasons our bosses don't oppose people paying games on mobiles, going out for occasional beer during lunch or listening to music while on work.

While strictly speaking none of this should happen. Nobody minds because the overall nature of relationship is basically a kind of symbiosis, and throwing the rule book at every breath is neither possible nor feasible, and if done the interpersonal conflicts that come from it are far more trouble than the small pains from the act itself.

The prison guards have nothing to gain from this, especially while dealing with a billionaire doing a totally harmless activity. On the other hand playing nice, keeps the system going forward in the direction they want.

It's always better to control people through diplomacy than by force. It applies in all walks of life.
What are viable web-based alternatives to Skype ? (Except for Hangouts)
I find it quite smart of Slack to define the set of officially supported browsers (& encourage users to upgrade).

Reminds me of the graded browser list that Yahoo used to maintain.

Just a side comment: take into account that (as per the paper) there is temporal input in Gboard (i.e. the timestamp of each stroke is important).

You do not have that for ing, so the software does not know that the dot is “independent”).
Left the states a few years ago. After a 2 years stint in Toronto at a startup I now work for a Swedish development agency in Gothenburg.

6 weeks of paid vacation, great public transit, and affordable housing all mean I'm never going back to the states. If your considering moving to Europe, I'd highly recommend it. Salary isn't everything in life.

The "Making it Work, On-device" paragraph makes it seem like TensorFlow Lite will easily get your model running fast on-device, but in reality RNNs aren't currently supported by the TFLite Converter and the TFLiteLSTMCell example is super slow for training, so this is actually based on proprietary code not available to mere mortals using open source TensorFlow. If you were to actually try reproducing this work, you'd have to use several workarounds, dig deep into the TensorFlow source code, and possibly still end up with a suboptimal TFLite model.

Don't get me wrong, in terms of deployability and flexibility for production usage, TensorFlow/TFLite is really good, specially compared to other frameworks, but Google tends to oversell the abilities of open-source TensorFlow significantly in their marketing material, and you only find out when you go and try doing it yourself.
This is an infrastructure problem. A startup isn't going to solve this.

Between lack of water and unsafe water, I'm not sure that the proportion in the US is much different.
I live and work in Paris. My net income after taxes, social contributions, etc is 65% of my gross salary.

This includes the new prélèvement à la source, so in theory I shouldn't owe additional taxes next year.

I personally calculate every mandatory contribution that comes off my gross salary as "taxes" even though many people will disagree. IMHO, it's mandatory, it comes off the top, so it's "taxes"

I wouldn't consider 35% of my gross salary as being overly high, considering the excellent quality of life here. I cannot comment on how this compares to US taxes since I've never lived or worked there.

The taxes/quality of life I experience in Paris is similar to what I had living in Germany.

Given that we have so much vacation here, rent is reasonable, and infrastructure is very good (I can be in Brussels in 2 hours with the TGV) it's unlikely I'll ever move back to Canada.
Some people do.

They may not have a need for slack, they may also disagree with the inconsistent banning of users and servers on discord (if you are in a “wrong think” server at the time of its deletion there is a chance that your account gets nuked along with the server even if you are not active in the server. While other server that have been patently breaking TOS have been given given a pass by one or two on the safety team), they may of used Skype “back in the day” and just stuck with it and there are those of us who have to use Skype because that’s what our clients like to use.

But yeah there are still tons of people who who Skype.
Yeah that's an issue of its own. Maybe I'm naïve, but I'd like to think that most companies wouldn't take needless risks like that. I could possibly ask the FSF and EFF for help, if worse comes to worst.
> someone confused and unobservant walks out right in front of it

You can spot such situations pretty easily if you pay attention.

Reducing speed and not hitting someone cannot be compared to risking your own life. You're turning the argument around and adding unneeded emotions to this.
Netherlands is pretty favorable.

Get an MSc and you'll have full access to the Dutch job market for a whole year, then once you get a job you can get the highly-skilled migrant permit (with less restrictive criteria I think). After five years and passing some "integration" tests you can get permanent residence.

You're disadvantaged in some ways however because you're ineligible for the 30% tax ruling you'd possibly receive if you were recruited from abroad into a highly skilled position.

Then again, once you've started working you can do some tax adjusting and deduct a big chunk of your tuition costs from your first working year's taxes. I'm not sure if this will be possible much longer, though.

My point was more addressing why anyone might be surprised at the UK being relatively easy immigration wise.

That said, I'm not sure it really is as simple as skilled immigrants being welcome: there's plenty of people who'd rather we didn't have so many non-Western (culturally!) immigrants regardless of skill.

The sound, I think, is coming from a large headset like the ones prominently worn by the ground crew. I don't think it's the pilot's headset, as it does diminish a bit at the greatest range, and I would expect some radio talk between the pilot and the crew. I suspect they are noise-canceling headsets, as there is something about how it sounds that reminds me of vacuuming with a noise-canceling headset on.

Small has been done and cheaper is always possible, but significantly reducing the noise of jetpacks would require an amendment to the laws of fluid dynamics.

As for visible effects of the jet: at liftoff, the tether, that was detached by one of the crew just before, blows around a bit. I am trying to decide if you can see the jet as a distortion of the background, or whether that is an artifact of video decompression. The best opportunity for seeing it appears to be just after liftoff, when the right engine nozzle is seen with the cruise ship behind it, but there doesn't seem to be much of an effect there. As he approaches for landing, the netting around the pad appears to be blown around.
I did this at one point. The cats would jump on top of it, at which point your robot won't move anymore. But at least at that point you know the cats are alright.

Second issue is the ground perspective sucks. My house really does look very different from 5cm over the ground instead of 2 meters. The cats can sleep on the table and I'd never be able to tell.
If you're interested in APL to describe hardware, perhaps you're interested in a language based on APL to actually build hardware.

Many decades ago there was a hardware description language based on APL.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AHPL

I studied it as part of a university course circa 1975. Wiley published a typo-infested book about it.

Using Google verbatim for "a hardware programming language" provides a plethora of hits.

But then VHDL and Verilog happened and the rest, as they say, is history.
It still forces itself to start up on my Windows machine, despite the fact I'm logged out and have tried a LOT of times to uninstall it - registry edits, administrator mode powershell commands, etc. Next up I'll probably have to try installing one of those dodgy uninstaller programs.

Just to agree with you on the bentou boxes. I worked in a high school for 5 years and often ate lunch with the students. Never once did I see an overly cute benou box :-) My wife makes my bentou box, but at that time I made hers. It takes about 20 minutes to make in the morning, but you have to be organised. Japanese people also tend to have a large, cooked morning meal (which my wife now makes, but when I was working at the school I made for her). For me, I'd often be cooking for about an hour every morning (including both breakfast and lunch), which meant getting up at about 6. Japanese people bathe at night, which frees up a bit of time.

I don't want to understate the difficulty that women have in the workplace in Japan. The breakfast and lunch are manageable, but then you have to do laundry (and if you have school kids, it's a big job in Japan). People hang their laundry outside, so it's a problem if you aren't there to get it if it rains. You have to be back in time to cook dinner for your kids, but you have responsibilities to stay late at work most days, etc, etc. Some of my female colleagues barely slept and it just wasn't healthy.

Distributing the workload is not so hard, but it needs a cultural shift. It's slowly happening though. You may note that my wife cooks for me now and wonder why... I liked doing breakfast and lunch, but I think my wife prefers doing it herself (my bentous aren't very good, I'll admit). I suspect (but don't know) that she also feels better, as a woman, if she does that job. That's a strange idea in western culture, but perhaps it will sound more understandable if I say that I feel better, as a man, if I make a salary. Stupid and arbitrary, but culture is like that sometimes. It's hard to change and you need to go slowly.
> The erosion of trust is _because_ of the poor quality of scientific findings produced by Science the institution (particularly in select fields).

So it would seem, if we considered Nutrition Science alone. But that does not explain the process of increasing distrust in vaccination, global warming and climate change, or even evolution, where the scientific practice has a quite solid record and community consensus.

The erosion of authority reaches outside of Science, which to me suggests that there might be a broader explanation beyond the specificities of each field. In my opinion, and like you say, organized religion was one of the first victims of this process in the past and today.
tl;dr: Facebook plans to focus more on "privacy" in its marketing. Nothing changes about the data collection from a technical/product point of view. Question is whether people will believe that Facebook now is a privacy-focused company or not.

I did come here to post a much less eloquent version of what you both did say. For me the problem is someone telling me how I should experience something. I travel and experience countries and cultures the way I do it, bringing with me who I am and my whole past.

Some times I plan a lot about where to go and what to do and other times I travel to a place and then find what is to do and see there, or even walk around to see if I find something interesting. I like to do it my way, but someone telling me that I need to do it this or that way will not make my experience any better.

I like reading about others experiences, but even if I did travel to the same place, did the same things, and talked with the same persons as I was reading about, it would not be the same experience because with me is I, not that person that had the other experience.
I'm not saying they should pay some extra toll for that stretch of road, I'm just pointing out that they're not paying for the damage they're causing. The school or the kids aren't receiving money for the damage that's caused by the pollution from those cars.
I agree with the article, and I will also say if you're looking for a truly special experience, make the effort and go places on the planet where tourists simply don't venture.

In West Africa I repeatedly had people say "What means Tourist" and often people would want to touch me because they had never seen a white person.

I took a stupidly small route from Nigeria into Cameroon, and the Immigration guy that I eventually tracked down was more than a little shocked to see me. In three years working there, he had never seen a single foreigner.

When you spend time with people like that, it is a genuine experience, and sitting on floors to share communal food or being hosted in people's houses is something I will never forget as long as I live.

>So for example Marxian primary material is a critique of past-tense economics.

Marxism has come a long way since Marx, though; a big part of the field today is the applicability of Marxian theories to aspects of modern economies, such as globalization, neoliberalism, imperialism and digital goods. By saying their critique is only aimed at political economy, you're charging them with irrelevance, which to me doesn't seem the case. Being ignored does not mean irrelevance.
There was a recent video by a Waymo person who dealt with understanding the world. He went into great detail about how to observe things. One thing he mentioned is that the car also has the goal of getting to the destination. There was an example of a pretty packed school area. The safest thing to do might be to completely stop. The car however slowed down and tried to make its intentions clear. Unfortunately I cannot find the video.. it also went into detail of how to spot that something unexpected might happen.

What's even more ridiculous is that for Firefox, if you change the "User Agent" it works perfectly fine.

On your hardware, using your OS version, on the single internet connection you tried, in your language, with your set of installed plugins, using your particular browser settings, and trying the limited set of features that you used to test it.

That's practically the definition of "it works on my machine."

I imagine the Skype team have a somewhat more rigorous testing methodology.
It also depends on where and how you drive, park etc.

To me, the difference between filling up on gas and 20 minutes on a Supercharger not only isn't enormous, but literally doesn't matter. But that's because I charge at home, usually drive only around the city and when I go on a trip where I need to supercharge, it's a few hours between chargers and by that time I need to take a ~20 mins break for coffee anyway.

If I had to use them to charge, yep, 20 mins would be enormous.
That is obviously also a possibility; I'm not arguing that they should be silenced by default, only that it is possible and should not be beyond the reach of a society's purview to do so. For the moment, it seems more plausible that violence erupts due to persuasion and incitement, which is why (for instance) there are already laws against incitement but not against illegalising speech lest it cause high tensions. I assume this question can also be answered empirically.
Throw DLC's in there too. I liked Expansion Packs that are worthwhile, but they've been replaced by DLC's. If your game's not yet ready please, please, just delay the release. I want to see a good game. I prefer to pay good money for good games. I don't mind Bethesda doing DLCs cause they're usually fun little expansion packs, not... in game items (with some exceptions like preordering). In game items shouldn't be the only part of a DLC.
