Yeah it's bad. Having a placard is basically like getting a $6k+ tax-free transportation subsidy from the government (the cost of the monthly garage parking you'd otherwise need near your office), and over 100,000 valid placards are out there, plus all the fakes that people make up. It's a joke. All the time you see vehicles with placards parked on sidewalks, in bike lanes, in front of fire hydrants, in crosswalks, blocking curb cuts, or blocking daylight spaces necessary for safe lines of sight in intersections. And nothing is done about them because of the stupid placard.

Not even remotely similar. China's rating system is government-mandated.

That's not a standard, it's a common practice. It only becomes a standard when it gets documented and everyone interested in implementing it agrees to follow the document.
Heh... What's interesting is I personally feel the opposite. I can eat thousands of calories of carbs/sugar no problem, but I fill up on fat pretty quick. I did the keto diet for about 4 months and almost never went over my daily calorie budget, basically without even trying that hard. Most days I had to remind myself to eat more because I was way under.

I wonder if this is a case for emphasizing that "one size fits all" doesn't work in dieting, either. It seems likely that satiety for various food sources might vary based on biology and lifestyle too.
> Have you compared the solution accuracy with other frameworks? (or is it not the priority for your package right now)

Still working on that.

Early stopping is intentionally not implemented in order to keep things apples-to-apples between trials by doing a full run, but I'm open to reconsidering that, or at the least have a user-set option for early stopping.

Ask HN: How to Print Books?
I'm looking at all of the good books in the public domain, and would like to bring some of them to life. Nothing too fancy (don't need hardcovers, for example).

What sort of technology would one need to print their own books? Obviously paper(What kind?), a printer (What kind?), and some glue, perhaps.

If anyone has done this sort of thing before, I'd love your input. Thanks!

The last time a human being stood on anything but Earth was December 11, 1972 (Apollo 17). God, I hope they're serious and can pull this off.
Two additional pieces of information would be necessary to know if the author got a good deal:

1) How long was he there before he cashed out? (The amount of equity isn't just about the grant, it's about whether you stay for the vesting...)
2) What stage was the startup at when he joined? Yes, I know he was engineer no. 10 and employee no. 15. Many startups in the Bay Area are post-Series A by the time they have 15 employees. A lot of the risk is already gone by then, so the equity grants are less.
A curious form of passive aggression, I suppose.
Dell xps15/xps13/precision 5520/5530? The xps15 and precision models have a 4 x 3.1 inch touchpad, the 13 inch might be smaller, I'm not sure. I don't know what it's made out of but it has a matte finish and is not going shiny with use. My experience with it has been very nice.

If you use Google's E-mail service (directly or through Google Apps), you no longer own your E-mail. It is the property of an advertising company that will do with it whatever it sees fit, including reading it, learning from it, modifying it and hiding some of it from you.

This needs to be explained to people, as most still think that Gmail just displays all of your private E-mail with a nice interface, FOR FREE!

The "FOR FREE" part is really the killer, I found that people are amazingly resistant to the idea of paying anything for E-mail, even if compared to their other utilities (power, water, internet, TV?) it is extremely cheap.
> while I don't approve of censorship ...

I always believed in absolute freedom of expression. I cheered Google when they prioritized values over revenues and abandoned mainland China because of censorship requirements.

But maybe I need to update my beliefs based on new evidence.

When free expression enables disinformation campaigns, when false rumors get amplified into mob violence, when stochastic terror organizes online, maybe the side effects of unlimited free expression are too severe for a modern civilization.

Is it completely unreasonable to think that there might be something to learn from China's policies of censorship and social control?
They've also completely borked up Usenet (Google Groups), including the choice to simply put big padlock on whatever zombie Usenet groups are being used for spam, making it impossible to, e.g., read the messages posted to alt.rock-n-roll around the time of Freddy Mercury's death. [1]

From Goodreads review:
" This is not so much a math textbook as an extended infomercial for the modern field of topology, with applications and intuition stressed over formal results.As the author's intention appears to be to give a broad overview of the field and its potential uses which will encourage readers to pursue deeper study, ..."

So looks like the answer is yes
But the AMP infection has spread to those as well. Well, DDG at least. I had to stop using the "news" tab on DDG because of the high percentage of results there that are AMP links.
Both. There are multiple factors here. Reducing transportation costs is one factor (what I meant by "could help"), but typically one's income reduces even more, so on net it is counterproductive. I'll edit the post to be more clear.
Florian Mueller is very anti-Google and pro-Apple and has been since the last decade throughout the infamous era of "war against android" by Steve Jobs - Samsung vs Apple, Apple vs HTC, Apple vs Google, Oracle vs Google and many others.
Depends on the drones, but professional photogrammetry drones certainly do.
You often have position (latitude, longitude and altitude in WGS-84), attitude (yaw, pitch, roll) which already contains the gimbal orientation (e.g. the drone applies the lever arm to go from the IMU position to the camera optical center and output those) along with their covariances (accuracy) as well as timestamping.
If the camera has a rolling shutter, you might even have imu data (i.e. accelerations) to correct distortions.
Another important data for the reconstruction is the focal length.

Ultimately, it is the job of the reconstruction software to use those data.
Usually, they use them to initialise the process, and use the covariances as constraints, then they run their optimiser based on that. If your accuracies were too tight, the reconstruction will often fail as they trust you on the accuracies.
However, the better/more accurate the data (e.g. RTK data), the faster/easier it is for the software to do its job.

> How many felons do we have today that were punished by non-violent drug crimes, by design as far as I can tell.

Yes, but the fix for this problem is not to stop allowing people to consider a past felony conviction when determining what sort of business to do with a person. The fix for this problem is to stop criminalizing things that shouldn't be criminalized, like non-violent possession or use of drugs.
It's only awful for debugging because the tools are awful.

I see the 7% return figure trotted out as average equity returns; but I think that number reflects a lot of “easy money” from the asymmetry of global industrialization in the post-WW2 era. Europe and America spent the 1920s through 1940s building fossil fuel powered heavy industry through a couple of particularly destructive wars. Then we spent the next 50 years spreading it around the globe, with American and European companies collecting a vast majority of the profits.

I’m not entirely sure it’s an assumption that will be correct for too much longer given the industrialization around the globe has increased competition significantly.

I think the true equity growth rate is closer to inflation / population growth rate; especially once we take the costs of climate change into account (think of it as a loan we have to pay back in either remediation of adverse climate effects or decreased future productivity).
> Email is still an open platform

Open in what sense? For example, there's no open standard (to the best of my knowledge) for the HTML used in emails right now and different email clients render HTML in emails differently.

On the other hand, the protocol itself is standardized, but AMP is not working on protocol level.
you will understand very little of the math in this book without a substantial background in mathematics. however, and i think the author would agree, you should jump in anyway. you'll pick up pictures, applications, vocabulary, and some ideas, all of which could help pave the way as you learn the material more traditionally. the book sets goalposts so to speak, especially since it is written in a more expository manner with lots of example applications. i don't understand anywhere near everything in the book (much less than that probably), and i still get something from it.

in terms of learning some topology and geometry, i recommend topology by james munkres and an introduction to manifolds by loring tu. both are accessible to junior and senior undergraduates and beginning graduate students.

If you don't need the "real book" look and want something practical and rather cheap: A laser printer and a wire binding machine with a cardboard cover.

Otherwise all those print-on-demand services may be what you're looking for. Alternatively, a local printer.

For the highest cost specialty (OB/GYN), near or into the six figures range is right by the first source I find, and surgery specialities seem potentially to be in that range. Others much lower, down as low as four figures.

To put it another way: if there weren’t government-granted monopolies, the wealthiest 10% would have 5 ISPs to choose from, the next 40% would have maybe 1 or 2, and the remaining 50% just wouldn’t have broadband service available at any price.

The goal with these rules is to make sure being wealthy isn’t a prerequisite to having access to communication services. If we didn’t have these rules, forget about broadband in poor neighborhoods (much less rural areas).

Edit: capitalism overall isn’t broken; but it is broken in some industries with unique market features (health care, telecom, etc). I don’t think it’s a contradiction at all to have some industries more or less socialized while maintaining a capitalist economy overall...

I try not to be so analytical. Generally speaking, "most" of my day working is "enjoyable". I love analyzing and solving problems. I've learned how to take challenging problems that can be defined as "frustrating" and make it a positive moment.

People are challenges are always going to be there, so I focus on how to influence people and for those that are toxic, I try to keep it positive as best as I can.

You wouldn't notice when your GPS goes out off and on while in inclement weather. It's a service that can degrade gracefully. Some systems revert to other sensors when you lose GPS signal (tunnels, underground, etc). However, you would certainly notice when your packets drop and your video/audio streaming cuts out.
