A GPU cluster, sure. But the discussion was about running the algorithm on a single GPU on your desktop.
Just to clarify, I'm not advocating for this system, it's just the way it is.

I was thinking the same thing about OpenAerialMap https://openaerialmap.org/
It is much more complicated than that. Ultimately Walmart can either give two people jobs that help them live their lives with some government assistance, or give one person a full-time job while the other person goes homeless (or more likely fully reliant on government assistance). And note that the person who got the full-time job in the latter scenario would no doubt have to work a very tiring, mind numbing job on a full-time basis, and would struggle to be as productive as two part time workers who only have to do that work a few days a week and are therefore not as worn out.

Additionally, if Walmart was to require full-time hours from employees it would remove a large pool of workers who would otherwise benefit from having a work opportunity. Older people, students, and others that can't work full-time would not be able to get a job. And all those excluded people would now be jobless and once again relying on government assistance.

If the local economy is so bad that Walmart is your only job option then that area is going to be a tax dollar sink either way, taking more back from government assistance than it generates in tax revenue, as many small towns do. At least if Walmart hires more part time people it gives a larger number of the locals some control over their lives instead of leaving them fully dependent on assistance.

Particularly in Google's case, I doubt they see it as empowering 21st century fascism in Asia. There's no love lost between Google's executive leadership and the Chinese government. China has attempted to directly hack Google and steal its source code and data on multiple occasions, and there have been previous pull-outs over diplomatic relations between the two of them.

Rather, I think Google views its China expansion as a way to get an information beachhead on China's 800 million citizens. Once they become an ingrained habit for China's populace, they become very difficult to get rid of (the same way Uber and AirBnB have become virtually impossible to get rid of, despite breaking numerous municipal laws), and can leverage that foothold to expand their influence.
> anxiety management

This.

I am a solo founder and anxiety begins to be a major problem for me (starts to result in observable real-life issues like insomnia). I've just realized that I need to find a way to deal with it, or there could be trouble ahead.

Stress and anxiety are there even if your business is doing "well" (as in, profitable and growing). There is always more work than you can handle, you are always afraid of a bigger competitor ruining things for you, and you always worry that customers will suddenly start churning one day.

I've been looking for a group of solo-entrepreneurs to exchange experiences. This article resonated with me. It's helpful to even know that others experience the same problems.
> There isn't any data on this, but I think it's safe to assume that younger people that also have student loans don't own their vehicle outright

I dunno, having an owned-outright used beater seemed normal among my peer group when I was in/just out of college; having newer, better (relative to contemporaries) vehicles with financing is more common now that we're very well into careers. You can get a student loan with no credit history at pretty much the same terms as everyone else, but that is decidedly not he case for auto loans.
Consider yourself lucky.

When I lived in Chicago, the building I was in with almost 700 units the only choice for internet was AT&T DSL which struggled to get to 3 Mbps, simply because the wiring in the building was old.

I know a business in Chicago that has to do everything on tethered cell phone connections because the phone lines are too old to handle DSL, and the cable company won’t run a line across the street to their factory.

In younger days I'd of questioned you to the nth degree to rationalise it all. But with age, I've learned that it's cool to just not like something - after all, we happily accept such personal choices when it comes to food. So why not with some arbitrary software more suited as an outlet for any negativity. Indeed, the World would be a far better place if they just focused their hate onto some bit of software.

So with that said, I totally respect your irrational burning hatred for AMP.

I don't know exactly how grounding works, but is there a reason why the plane can't just stay in Orlando?
I guess there are extremely few people in the topic who understand how NPE works internally.

There is no null check in the generated assembly code, when a null dereference occurs - it's an effective kernel trap (as 0 is not mapped to the process). The latter uses the code execution pointer to understand what has been attempted to execute and throws the exception. This may or may not involve stack crawl (which is very expensive) depending on JIT ability to prove if the stack would be unused.

Nulls should be avoided, all fields should be initialized, etc. Nulls are great for =very= high performance code as null checks are virtually free.
People go full retard in hospitals and hospice. You're probably just facing more emotional intensity than you're used to.
cramforce's position is quite Google-able (or DuckDuckGo-able). There are at least three other Googlers who work on AMP in this thread, and one other Googler who might or might not have AMP involvement (a DevRel). Only one discloses on their profile that fact, and none of them disclosed on their actual comments. They're not really hiding, mind you, and if you read a lot of corporatespeak, they stand out pretty well.

(toomuchtodo is indeed accurate that the Google Cloud team are top notch on disclosures.)
So those who didn't (for instance, I didn't have a car loan while I was paying off my student loan debt) should be punished by removing their means of transportation because that'll somehow get them to prioritize it at the same level as said paid-for car (which keep gas in it and change it's oil once in a while)? If an ex student is still living with mom and dad or using a borrowed car to get to work, there's an actual logical reason that their ability to get to that job should be compromised because they didn't pay their student debt?
I don’t know your brother in law, but what I can say is that the alternative isn’t better. I went through almost the same thing last year where my father suffered a heart attack and ultimately ended up in a vegetative state. Me, my sister, and my mother had different schedules, and we asked the same questions all the time. The doctors and social workers lost their patience all the time repeating themselves. In hindsight, it would’ve saved a lot of heartache and arguments with staff had we assigned 1 person to be this arbiter of information.

To reiterate a point I made in another reply, I'm not advocating for cycling here, just pointing out that driving is expensive.

Also, I know an engineer who works on diesel engines in Detroit and commutes by bike. He seems to think Detroit is pretty good for cycling, actually, contrary to what I expected. Don't know about metro Detroit, though.

> having 2 billion of people speaking a language in only one country is not really helpful for a common language

Apparently it is, otherwise we wouldn't be in thread discussing more and more interesting content only being available in Chinese. Users will learn whatever language provides content they want to consume. For me that was English. My parents learned Russian. I'd not be surprised if the next generation learns Chinese, though I'd prefer not having to do so (parents english isn't great).

Your arguments for English keeping its spot are kind of weak. It was surprising to read how few people speaking english. Wiki "English-speaking world" states just 500m-1b global and first language is less than 360m, 2/3 of those in the US. Class differences might ensure there is still more content produced in english, but china might catch up quickly and having just half as many speakers doesn't give a good head start. It being close to European languages might help, at doesn't require to learn a totally new alphabet. I would have expected English to get a nice boost due to geopolitics, but am not sure that is the cast past 2016. The US is still highly influence, due to media exports and probably most importantly dominance on the internet. China's firewall/separated Internet might save English. Though it might also protect their own language long enough to start to produce enough content to export...

Actually, I just realized how few recent popular Chinese films I've heard of. Guess I'll choose some to download, now.

Traders think yields will drop.
Yields drop because liquidity increases.
Liquidity increases because more people want to lend than borrow.
A recession lowers the demand for debt, so the price drops and the yields rise.
To fight the recession, the fed creates dollars and buys debt with them.
The lower supply of and increased demand for debt raises the price, which drops the yield.
But this would only happen if the fed was unable to control the recession.
Economic expansion also raises the demand for debt.
Or it could be the effect of international debt arbitrage.
Or balance of trade.

Truly I have no idea what traders are thinking.
And they could all be wrong.

All I know is that this is way more complicated than pattern recognition.

Discord is definitely a great evolution above Ventrilo, TeamSpeak, and Mumble.

Though if you want to get old school, MPlayer did voice chat before it was "cool", way before 2005. If you remember what MPlayer is, you know you're already old.

Back then MPlayer was free, which is kind of where TeamSpeak/Ventrilo/Mumble fell off, either you had some technical know-how to host it yourself (and the bandwidth to do so properly) or you paid for hosted solutions. It was only a matter of time before a free solution came around and stole the user base with intelligent marketing, nice interface, and a decent product.

Grounding really applies to passenger flights. Airlines are allowed to 'move' the plane from one location to another if there are no passengers.
If the choice is to work for Walmart and earn some money, but not enough to support your yourself and your family entirely, or not work anywhere, then the existence of Walmart seems to save the government having to provide 100% of your support instead of just some of it? It seems your argument is that if you are homeless and starving, that you are less of a cost to the government than if you are working for part of your support?

Another argument could be made that if Walmart did not exist, then another employer or group of employers would exist that would hire the same number of workers and give them more hours/benefits. However, such an argument would require significant analysis to demonstrate. From what I have seen, other, smaller businesses are as bad or worse than Walmart when it comes to those things.
Exactly. Our app only had a few permissions, the ones needed for functionality. We only collected enough data to make sure we understood how people were using the app. I mean it was created to learn android - we didn't have huge goals, let alone nefarious ones. Yet AL this other junk goes right by.

Fuck Google. Idc anymore - fuck them. They rose to the top on the promise of "were different!" And "don't be evil". It's probably our own fault for trusting them but at this point if a competitor came out I'd jump at the chance to move to them and hasten Googles death.

And yet someone claimed that Qualcomm cannot receive patent license fees from manufacturers who use Qualcomm chips.

“First up are the Return Program cartridges that Lexmark sold in the United States. We conclude that Lexmark exhausted its patent rights in these cartridges the moment it sold them. The single-use/no-resale restrictions in Lexmark's contracts with customers may have been clear and enforceable under contract law, but they do not entitle Lexmark to retain patent rights in an item that it has elected to sell.” Impression Products, Inc. v. Lexmark Int'l, Inc., 137 S.Ct. 1523, 1531 (2017)

“First, Univis held that ‘the authorized sale of an article which is capable of use only in practicing the patent is a relinquishment of the patent monopoly with respect to the article sold.’ Id., at 249, 62 S.Ct. 1088. The lens blanks in Univis met this standard because they were ‘without utility until [they were] ground and polished as the finished lens of the patent.’ Ibid. Accordingly, ‘the only object of the sale [was] to enable the [finishing retailer] to grind and polish it for use as a lens by the prospective wearer.’ Ibid. Here, LGE has suggested no reasonable use for the Intel Products other than incorporating them into computer systems that practice the LGE Patents.[6] Nor can we discern one: A microprocessor or chipset cannot function until it is connected to buses and memory. And here, as in Univis, the only apparent object of Intel's sales to Quanta was to permit Quanta to incorporate the Intel Products into computers that would practice the patents.” Quanta Computer v. LG Electronics, 128 S.Ct. 2109, 2119 (2008)

I am no expert in law except Qualcomm cannot receive patent license fees from manufacturers who use Qualcomm chips just sounds utter non sense to me.
> There's no particular reason email needs to sit around in the gutter while the rest of the web gets more multimedia and more performant.

30 Days to Liftoff: Day 1
That's what the specification says they should. Just like HTML emails should not have an empty "text/plain" as an alternative to their main "text/html" content, but some mailers do that anyway.

And I do mean empty, not absent, so MUAs don't even try to convert the HTML to plaintext.

Or sometimes, the plaintext version is buggy, eg. because the mailer forgot to remplace {{template variables}}. Or because it sent a boilerplate text. Or the content of a mailing that was sent years ago. (All of these are true stories, I got emails like these.)

The conclusion being that if some format (AMP, HTML, ...) becomes prevalent, developers will stop caring about other formats.
So, as I understand it: how do you pick a P such that, if you fail to prove there is a difference with p<P, then there is no difference?

If you compute the power of your test, you can do this, so long as you know the expected difference of your means. Like you implied, that is not realistic. Do you do something else entirely: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalence_test

There must be a typo - apparently Walmart did not stop you from receiving benefits.
