Of course, as funding has dried up and real estate prices have gone up, the program has faltered and homelessness is once again on the rise in SLC.

For me, Apple.

Google isn't outwardly evil.

Apple being anti consumer and anti developer really show you who Apple works for.

This may be a short-term issue, versus the long-term issue of not having enough fresh water to drink. Scientists have been warning about this for a while now. We can probably advance the technology of purifying water to make it cheaper and more widespread, but we can't solve getting enough fresh water just by inventing a new gadget.

To keep from running out of fresh water, we'd need to stop growing the population, or stave off the amount of water used for agriculture, or re-engineer all our wastewater systems for treatment and reuse, or build massive amounts of expensive desalination plants along with a massive global distribution network. All of these are possible, but we also have to actually start the process before it becomes too painful.

I suspect these homes would be more policed even than any general "rough area".

In fact, this might cut on crime in general, much like honeypot stings.
The data disagrees. It can happen in the US. It _did_ happen in the US.

“Utah reduced chronic homelessness by 91%. Here’s how”

I don't know man. This sounds like:

"I used to have an alcoholism problem. I used to drink wine, beer, hard liquer, you name it. But then I did a cleanse in March, and I stopped drinking hard liquer and wine. I only drink beer now. But that's ok, because I actually like the taste of beer!"
Apple is just completely out of touch now, aren't they?
> the MT7621 based board you cite has two MIPS 24k CPUs, straight out of 2005

Yes, I'm having a lot offun with a 14 year old CPU, so I want to see a modern one, if possible with free software GPU support like for the Mali

> without that silicon external to the CPU, any kind of crypto would slowly chug along

Which is exactly why I want to see MIPS64 that can do all that without hardware acceleration - and much more with it.
But are their drivers?
The Amazon/WaPo article notes the timing as well and hints that it might not be totally partisan.

> "Antitrust also has become an early flash point among Democrats vying for the White House ahead of the 2020 election. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) recently threatened major investigations of Amazon, Apple and Facebook. This week, she offered early support in response to news that the Justice Department could bring such an investigation against Google."

Maybe this is a case of numerous parties having a diverse set of motivations that all line up? Democrats who blame these companies for Trump's election (makes the least sense in the specific case of Apple or Amazon...), and Republicans who say these companies are censoring them (makes the least sense in the specific case of Apple or Amazon...) Maybe these companies are just running out of friends in Washington.
You meant to say Scientific calculator?
I tried some helmet mounted mirrors, but they moved around too much for me, so I switched to this eyeglass frame mounted mirror:

http://travellingtwo.com/resources/take-a-look-mirror

It's simple to clip on, and stays put once it is, I've been using this mirror for over 5 years and feel uncomfortable riding without it.
Agreed, but again, the fact that these all happen in the same time frame is weird. I guess each of the investigations will tie up a lot of resources, but all 4 at the same time seem pretty taxing to an already busy admin.

Also, noone here has been suggesting a conspiracy.
It's usually the marketing department asking for e-mail addresses in the first place.
Yea, I didn't see any mention of HDR support. Is XDR their rebranding? Will macOS support HDR10 or DolbyHDR when this monitor comes out? Will it be supported on any HDR screen or just this overpriced one? Or does this monitor not have HDR at all?

HDR so far only seems supported by Windows, xBox, and PS4. Linux/X11 and Mac still have no HDR support.

The $1,000 stand was not a joke.

Honestly that's exactly what the iPad needs. The focus on discoverability has crippled the iPad since the beginning, so its about time Apple started making the iPad faster to use. Software designed to maximize productivity always has a learning curve.
>For drones, I like to ask: "how do you think the drone moves forward?" [over power the rear two, underpower the front]

Careful - this explanation isn't just a simplification - it's outright wrong. Applying differential power to the front and rear rotors is how you initiate a pitch moment. You must reverse the pitch moment when the drone is at the desired attitude. This attitude may cause the drone to accelerate in a given direction. When the drone has reached the desired speed the attitude change must also be undone (but not completely, due to drag) to kill the acceleration. So to bring a drone from a hover to a steady forward velocity requires four applications of differential power - two one way, and two the other way. It's not even true that the rear ones expend more total power over the course of the maneuver - it's symmetrical.

It's a neat example of Newton's First law, and also a good opportunity to explore a little about 0-order, 1-order, 2-order motion (you might explore what kicking your foot does when 1) walking 2) riding a skateboard, 3) driving a car). But if you think it's too complicated, better to avoid it entirely than give the wrong idea.

(A related question you can ask - when an airplane is in a steady climb, which is greater - the lift on the wings, or the weight of the plane? Answer: they are the same! Otherwise the aircraft would be accelerating up or down.)
Don't they already do that? Many sites switch to mobile layout when you ctrl-+ a lot.

It's a feature: history synchronization between different devices and fast search through hundreds of thousands of messages is, for most uses and users, more important than concerns that Telegram or nation-state level attackers (one capable of silently breaching Telegram infrastructure) would choose to read your chats.
> I'm struggling to see why I'd take a $5000 (realistically since it's Apple more like $6500-7000) machine over a $2000 machine running Fedora unless I need to develop for iOS [emphasis mine].

IIRC, the problem was that Apple left those people (and other professionals in the Apple ecosystem) with literally no good options.
US public housing projects are some of the most dangerous places on the planet. We need to give the common person a path out of poverty that doesn't involve higher education. Once those people are able to move up the ladder, those at the very bottom (homeless) will be able to move up as well.
You have a point but there are ways to talk about the positive future. It is not all doom and gloom.

When I was at school maths, physics and computer science was for losers. Losers as in social misfits, people who weren't good enough to hang out with the cool kids.

Against this backdrop I had a father who would preface a lot of things with 'in Germany...'. So, according to my dad, the German kids did learn their science and engineering with the cool kids being the ones that excelled at those things in Germany. Allegedly the German 'loser kids' were the ones that aspired to the easy subjects.

Obviously my dad was egging the pudding a bit, however he did have a point.

In today's world there is this place called China. I know that is a tricky subject with people regurgitating whatever they have read in the New York Times about the place being an evil dictatorship, however, the fact of the matter is that the Chinese government are a bit more serious than the UK/USA governments when it comes to education. In China the cool subjects are tech, tech and more tech.

Sure there are some kids that want to be a footballer/air force pilot/pop star/actor but those kids are not in a teaching environment where the hard subject - STEM - are shunned. Tech is cool. You can have full on 'maker scene' in the class room in China, plus the kids have more than a tatty blackboard in the class rooms, I would say that the level of advancement is verging on the ridiculous.

The nit pickers will be able to say this ain't so in darkest Yunnan province where they haven't invented the wheel yet, but in the nation of 1.3 billion people there are some class rooms that put whatever school you are needing to guest teach in to shame.

It is possible to entertain the kids with some impressive demo of tech but this might be just that, entertainment, not education. There is also a mismatch with where the STEM education leads to, the jobs are perceived as boring.

With my dad's efforts to encourage me to do tech because the 'German kids do it', I could escape the local bubble whether at school or university where arts subjects were cool and anyone doing tech was to be ostracised. I 'knew' what they didn't know that I would be able to mix it with the German kids when I got older, I would have a wider world open to me. Back then Germany was as ahead as it is now, but, the better benchmark for today's world is China. In the UK/USA we are in danger of slipping miles behind, stuck with a class mentality in the UK that prevents tech being cool and similar mental hurdles in the US where everyone has to be famous or die trying.

Having China as the place where tech is cool and all the kids want to do it (allegedly) is definitely credible when you have every computer, phone and other high tech gadget seemingly made there. We don't want to be the B-team, second-11 in the UK/USA, English is the language of STEM and it can be fairly stated that opting out of science and tech is cowardly - 'those Chinese kids are not better, are they...?' Time to instil some competition and can-do mentality rather than convenient resignation.

Apple could literally cure cancer and people would complain about the price or lament that it doesn't also cure diabetes.
I updated my AppleID since I haven't used it in years (have other devices) in anticipation of implementing this as soon as it's available on a site I'm working on. It appeared they offered two-factor authentication to get away from those 1990's type of security questions. Ah, not so fast - 2FA is only enabled with Apple devices. Poor play there, Apple. This service looks like something sorely needed - bring the rest of the flock into the fold and let everyone plug in their Yubi key.
Ok, any sources on Google doing that? Cause the article doesn't support that at all, and Google says it doesn't do that. Or do you disagree with the statement "also not valid to assume all email providers are doing this simply because it's technologically possible", and just assume Google is always malicious because it could be malicious?
Just a nitpick, Taiwan wasn’t yet a democracy in 1989. It was close, but they had to wait until 1996 before having their first democratic elections.

WWDC 2019: What Apple iOS, macOS Cross-Platform Apps Mean for You
But its not an insane resolution. Its twice as expensive as 8k monitors and the only reason they used a proprietary resolution was to attempt to justify it. I thought the monitor was going to be around 2-3k like others in its class.

I agree that the stand might be the ugliest thing they've ever made.
The sad thing is that the right thing to do is generally also the logical thing to do.

Housing homeless is less costly than providing jails + ambulances + other services needed when people are on the street.

The data is all there, but people will use sophism to make arguments that are either not proven, or that have been actively disproved. I mean, many arguments against helping the poor can be boiled down to: 'it isn't good enough, so let them rot'.
$50 monitor arm for a $6k monitor? You are braver then I am.
It would work roughly the same way. Integrating an OAuth provider like this requires registering an application with revokable ClientIDs, so Apple can technically pull them just as easily as they can pull Apps.

(It remains to be seen if they'll put in the legwork to actually police these things, though)
Individual trees are high variance. The random forest itself is an ensemble of many trees - a "forest" if we've being cute. Each tree in the forest is randomized training on a bootstrap sample. This is sometimes called "bagging", a portmanteau of "bootstrap" and "aggregating." Each tree may be further randomized by selecting a different subset of dimensions to consider each time we split a node. The end result is that each tree uses very different rules to make its prediction. When all of these predictions are combined (by voting for classification, or by averaging for regression) error due to overfitting tends to cancel out, while signal due to the same true pattern being discovered independently by many trees is amplified. Thus we can continue to add trees indefinitely without worrying about over-fitting. Other hyperparameters of random forest, such as max tree depth or the minimum number of samples in a node necessary for splitting, can result in overfitting or underfitting so need to be tuned. However, because forest will eventually fit the data set even if we use so-called "stump" learners (max tree depth=1) we can choose very conservative parameters like max-depth=3 which makes trees less likely to overfit. And if they underfit, well, that's not a problem, the ensemble will take care of that. The number of trees in a forest can be cranked up as high as we want without worrying about overfitting; the only downside is that training takes longer, the model takes more space on disk and in memory, and predictions take longer to run.
It's just normal now. We all do it. Try it. It's blissssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Yes, it's like comparing Cabrini-Green to most other public housing systems.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabrini%E2%80%93Green_Homes

The people living in their cars/trailers are very different from those in large camps, which are very different from those on park/bus benches. Cold/rainy weather is also a huge selector that changes the group profile. So one person's experience with the homeless is highly impacted by exactly which group you see. The large Lord of the Flies camps are mostly hidden, but may house the majority of homeless depending on where you live.

Lol, that is pretty much one of my past employers. They set a daily stand up everyday at 9:30am, so flexible time means I can arrive anytime before that..

One day I missed a stand-up because my wife was pregnant at the time and I wanted see our first baby MRI. The CTO sent me a nasty slack message in the company phone (which they claimed as a benefit “we give you state of art iphones!!”)

Also, there was catered lunch, which I sort of dislike and went out for lunch by myself sometimes. It was also frown upon, they want me to be in the office for the working hours.

I didn’t last long. In my subsequent job I made sure to pick just for the flexible hours since compensation in Europe, well st least where I am, doesn’t vary enourmously across companies.
