From the outside, there weren’t. App Store model with Docker Hub was never going anywhere without an entrenched platform, which you couldn’t possibly build because you didn’t have the talent (no offense at all here, the market was and is insane) and even if you had, there was too much competition from other players. Licensing wasn’t feasible, not enough value-add, and too many viable alternatives waiting in the wings for you to overplay that hand. And any secondary market that showed promise was already swarming with other companies “integrating” with Docker and making their own value props. What alternatives were there? I never saw one.

> 2) Reduce the amount of lending banks do

> 3) Distant third, if the government has mucked up the tax/renting incentives so much that people are leaving houses empty that should be fixed.

From what I read, the amount of lending banks do is specifically because of government policy. Specifically, fixed-rate 30-year mortgages do not occur in the wild. You're more likely to see 10-year mortgages -- and that means borrowing a lot less.
Were you a Python-convert? Could you share you transition journey like how much time or difficulty you faced.
You want even better than optical flow. You need a SLAM system that can do loop closures (i.e. remember stuff that it has seen before). The propagated error from accelerometers and gyroscopes (that are not controlled by arms treaties is huge) blow up really quickly.
Fun fact, gyroscopes and accelerometers actually do measure a change in angle and a change in velocity over a time interval (as opposed to an instantaneous angular rate and acceleration). For high precision applications you even need to worry about if the delta is relative to the frame of the inertial navigation system at the beginning or end of the time interval (shuddering at the memories).
On the contrary, I have direct experience with more notebooks that disproves your claim.

Linux support for the hardware of the notebooks was never as good as Windows. Experienced users, to be sure that they won't have problem with hardware, tend to buy either Thinkpad or Dell notebooks. Everything else is a lottery. From three non-Dell, non-Thinkpad notebooks that I've bought since 2000 only one had enough hardware support to be even usable for more than five years.

Moreover, the first one, an AMD-based Sony (also not cheap) worked better under Linux under the versions which were less than 5 years old than the model's introduction. Only since that point the problems with the drawing on the screen became so bad that it was not usable at all for anything but being used headless. I was installing every new Ubuntu version every 6 months there, and the hardware support for the video card came to be progressively worse. I've reported the bug behavior but was never contacted to help the investigation, the bug was closed unsolved eventually.

Recently, only two months ago, my Dell notebook, 2 years old, after an update stopped working with an external monitor under kernel packed in the 18.04 LTS Ubuntu (where everything worked for a year before that). It took only days to fix that, but the bug was wide spread enough to strike most users of external monitors.

So no, Linux won't magically work on a machine which is not continuously directly tested by enough developers. It will also even less work after 6.5 years of machine's introduction, again, unless there was a constant work to keep it working. Linux is not a magic pixie dust, but a product by humans that also needs active contributions to even keep working with the old hardware.
I am an early user of PyDist. While I love python, I have been often frustrated with python's dependency management. In that vein, it's great to finally see a solution that's much closer to npm for python.
No, it doesn’t let the retailer off the hook. It just means the manufacturer can be liable depending on the circumstances.
Perhaps because the value of being in the valley, near customers, know-how, and investment, is worth the multiple (though I'd put the salary difference closer to 2.5x than 7x).

You are making the assumption that there are high levels of lead in the food BECAUSE food makers want to kill you. How is this not absurd to you?

We do not have free market, we have a pretty tightly regulated market.

> Even more absurd is your claim of violence, considering you don't seem to consider people being exposed to dangerous levels of lead as being 'violent' in this scenario. Or is it just less violent then having to pay taxes?

Excuse me? They are two different instances of violence. What you are trying to do is solve violence by more violence. How did that ever work out?

It is funny how my claim of an instance of violence is absurd merely because of an assumption which is "you don't consider people being exposed to dangerous levels of lead as being violent". Governments stealing money at gunpoint is violent, regardless of the second part, which, again, was just an absurd assumption from you.

I am not sure what you are trying to achieve here.

Yes, you have the constitution but the reality in the US is somewhat unconstitutional.

This wasn't the case several decades ago.

Well the implementation is generic to the array type, so if someone creates an array type which builds broadcast kernels on with OpenCL then it would work with OpenCL. Sadly, CLArrays.jl never got updated to Julia v1.0, so until someone does that it's just a dream. However, DifferentialEquations.jl will be waiting ready for that to happen :).
If Amazon is required to test, what about every small store that buys inventory? Are they required to test it all, too? Such a regulation would put them all out of business.
That's not how people perceive their time, despite time and their lives being ultimately wasted.

This comment reminded me of Terry Davis, because that's exactly the kind of feature he would have deemed essential in a browser if he'd ever decided to add networking to TempleOS. RIP brother.

Videos really should be first-class entities, though.

Imagine an OS/browser-level ffmpeg implementation which would allow seamless copy/paste of videos, integrated snipping tools both for cropping and time, color adjustment, etc. with automatic imgur-style hosting of your newly edited video just a button-click away.
so you're saying the solution to use as a replacement is harder to use and clunkier? right, i'm sure everyone will rush to adopt it and customers won't care at all

No, online shopping for the most part is a fairly unregulated market. You can't seriously make the argument that a more free market would solve this problem, because lead poisoning is an open and shut case. There is no excuse for exposing people to lead like this.

At this point, excessive amounts of lead should be seen as malice and regulated out of existence. What other excuse would there be for such phony products to be sold, other than to make a quick profit at the expensive of other's health?

And no, they are not completely unrelated. This is a thread and topic about toxic school supplies having excessive amounts of lead. When people proposed regulations to fix this problem, you equated that to violence. You are directly connecting the two.

> Anyone know why they used CPUs instead of GPUs/TPUs?

Cost and resource availability.

They're distributing each computation on a different CPU, not distributing each computation over multiple CPUs.

It would be faster to have each computation run on a CPU + GPU, but that would be very very expensive, and hard to schedule.

GPUs/TPUs are also only faster for sufficiently large networks and sufficiently large batch sizes. There's a large fixed cost to send data to/from the CPU, and for smaller networks, it's often not worth running it on a GPU. No idea if this was the case here.

> I understood the phrase completely.

No, you didn't. I assume English is not your native tongue (it's ok, it's not mine either), but after I explained it to you I don't think it makes sense to keep purposefully misunderstanding it.

> you are condemning China for future, hypothetical abuses it will possibly carry out as a possible future world hegemon based on past and present actions.

Nope. I am condemning China for past and present abuse, and tell you that if China had chance to dominate, this abuse would increase orders of magnitude. Exactly because China is abusive right now. It's not some hypothetical guess about the future, it's the fact. Just as I can predict what happens if I drop a stone - it will fall to the ground, due to gravity, and the laws of gravity is not something hypothetical in the future - it has been long established and this is what allows me to make predictions - I can also predict what would happen with China exactly because I know present and past of China. You are trying to pretend it's some play of imagination that has no connection to facts. It is the opposite.

> You're saying because a country has done X and is doing Y, it will continue to do so in the future. History trivially shows this to be untrue

If history trivially shows that, it wouldn't be hard for you to show three examples of totalitarian states that voluntarily stopped being totalitarian while their dominance was on the raise.

I think that would make it worse, having people try to get it open. Until it becomes very common knowledge.
I thought to myself, "that can't be right". And no, it seems like it's actually crazier[1], but see caveats[2]. You need $1.3M (USD) in minimum net worth:

> In order to be admitted into the Quebec Investor Program 2018, foreign investors must have a legally obtained minimum net worth of CAD $1.6 million (or its equivalent in a foreign currency), either individually or combined with their spouse or partner. Assets that may be included when calculating net worth include real estate, bank accounts, stocks and bonds, as well as pension funds. Under the Quebec program for investors, inherited assets are classified as legally obtained, however, donation or inheritance money must have been received at least six months prior to launching a QIIP application. As of January 2018, $1.6 million Canadian dollars is equivalent to approximately USD 1.3 million,

So, wait, what about the loan then? You only need $800k CAD (~$600k USD):

> Applicants for Canada investor immigration must sign an agreement stating their intention to make a government guaranteed CAD $800,000 investment in Quebec through a financial intermediary authorized to participate in the QIIP. This prescribed investment in a five-year term note is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Government of Quebec, and in accordance with the provisions of the program, the money is returned in full after five years with 0% interest.

But wait, maybe you don't want to have to sell all your assets to make that loan to Canada? What if someone else with money to spare could give Canada the money on your behalf? I mean, it's clear you can pay, right (since you're a millionaire), and the loan is guaranteed by the Canadian government. The only thing that would be missing is the interest one would make on the loan normally, so, what if…

> Over the last decade, a significant percentage of the Quebec and Canada Immigrant Investor Program participants have financed their investment in the country. Investors who do not wish to liquidate assets in order to come up with the required C$800,000 can finance the investment through an authorized Canadian financial intermediary for a one-time loan payment of ~$220,000 CAD, which includes all interest and fees. This means that as of January 2018, the "true cost" of obtaining a Canada investor visa is only around 175,000 American dollars,

Now, there are a few more gotchas (you have to intend to settle in Quebec, you must "have acquired at least two years of full-time business management experience in the past five years", …).

But, wow.

[1]: http://www.investorimmigrationcanada.com/

[2]: http://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/immigrate-settle... seems like a more official site. They list the number as $2M CAD ($1.5M USD) in net worth and $1.2M CAD investment (~$900k USD). But it does seem to confirm "financing". So, the theory seems sound, but there's perhaps some haggling over price. /s … sorta.

Is there anything to protect against parallel construction? Bob mentions he was selling drugs to a guy near the scene of the crime. A police officer then finds out who the buyer was, and gets him to testify to bring drug charges against Bob. Or: During the following weeks, a police officer just happens to be in the same place at the same time of night every week, and eventually catches one of Bob's future transactions.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Witness_immunity seems to be the reference. Seems to cover the exact issue: "In the United States, the prosecution may grant immunity in one of two forms. Transactional immunity, colloquially known as "blanket" or "total" immunity, completely protects the witness from future prosecution for crimes related to his or her testimony. Use and derivative use immunity prevents the prosecution only from using the witness's own testimony or any evidence derived from the testimony against the witness. However, if the prosecutor acquires evidence substantiating the crime independently of the witness's testimony, the witness may then be prosecuted."

Trans-Inclusive Design
I think it is quite funny that 2D vector graphics, and 3D e.g. computational fluid dynamic simulations, have to, pretty much, solve the same problem.

We use in 3D STL geometrys, NURBS/T-splines from CAD, and signed-distance fields, often all of them simulatenously in the same simulation, and for a big 3D volume (with 10^9-10^10 "cells"/"3d-pixels") we have to figure out whether these are inside or outside. Our 3D domain is adaptive and dynamic to track the movement of bodies and features of the flow, so we have to update it on every iteration, and all of this has to happen in distributed memory on 100.000-1.000.000 cores, without blocking.

There is a lot of research about, e.g., how to update signed-distance fields quickly, in parallel, and distributed memory, when they slightly move or deform, as well as how to use signed distance fields to represent sharp corners or how to extract the input geometry "as accurately as possible" from a signed distance field, as well as how big the maximum error is, etc. The Journal of Computational Physics, Computational Methods in Applied Mechanics, and SIAM journals, are often full with this type of research.

For computer graphics, errors are typically ok. But for engineering applications, the difference between a "sharp" edge and a smoothed one can be a completely different flow field, which result in completely different physical phenomena (e.g. turbulent vs laminar flow), and completely different loads on a structure.

The Most Common Problem Among Macbook Users
Although MacBooks are technologically advanced and thinner than most other laptops in the market, the latest versions are a little bit uncomfortable to use. We used to have many ports built-in our laptops and connect a variety of devices such as monitors, external hard drives and any other devices to charge. However, things have changed with the new-look MacBooks and some other notebooks. Apple replaced the most used ports for connecting your devices such as USB-A, Thunderbolt 1, Thunderbolt 2, DisplayPort, HDMI and other ports with two USB-C ports with support for Thunderbolt 3.

Many people think the reason behind Apple’s decision to push the USB-C ports is that they are sure the world will follow them and switch to USB-C ports too. However, this transition won’t take place immediately — it could take several years.

Trooss Smart Charging USB C hub solves one of the most common problems among Macbook users, it combines 7 commonly used ports in one dock ranging from 1 x HDMI with support for 4K@30Hz, 2 x USB 3.1 (USB-A) ports for your standard USB accessories, 1 x Micro SD and SD Card Readers and 2 x USB-C ports, one with support for Thunderbolt 3 with up to 100W of Power Delivery for charging your laptop and one for data transmission with up to 10 Gb/s data speed.

And not just that, it can be plugged directly into your Macbook and enables you to charge any Qi compatible phone or Apple watch wirelessly in one place.

This innovative solution makes your life easier by enabling your Macbook’s full potential.

I was always under the impression that integrating unknown biases in gyroscope and accelerometer measurments is the main issue with dead reckoning.

Today I am convinced that attitude errors are the far bigger issue, since they will make you misinterpret gravity as genuine acceleration.

Even with a 1° error in your pitch estimate, you will start integrating 9.81ms^-2*cos(1°) = 0.17ms^-2 as a forward acceleration. Within one minute, you are 308m off already. This is the real issue with dead reckoning IMO.
