The current year is a high deductible plan (as all of mine have been since starting self-employment in 2004) but is not HSA-eligible. (Most years we've had an HSA-eligible plan, but some years none were available or they were vastly more expensive than the non-HSA eligible, which makes no sense.) We found a way to get an employer-sponsored plan thru my LLC this year and that dropped the premiums to just under $12K w/ a $13.6K family deductible. The marketplace plan we were on last year, had we renewed for 2019, would have been $17.5K in premiums w/ the same deductible. Neither is HSA-eligible.

Their policy is at https://www.ravelry.com/content/no-trump .

Their argument is "We cannot provide a space that is inclusive of all and also allow support for open white supremacy. Support of the Trump administration is undeniably support for white supremacy."

So by "both sides" it seems like you mean the one side in favor of white supremacy, and the other side not in favor of white supremacy?

Why should a knitting site allow support for open white supremacy?

> The Turk, also known as the Mechanical Turk or Automaton Chess Player (German: Schachtürke, "chess Turk"; Hungarian: A Török), was a fake chess-playing machine constructed in the late 18th century. From 1770 until its destruction by fire in 1854 it was exhibited by various owners as an automaton, though it was eventually revealed to be an elaborate hoax.[1]

I think these are mostly the more loose groups, the "real" communities are still in the forums. The more niche / dedicated it gets the more likely is it to have a forum.

To be fair I only have experience with old car restoration groups but there may be some FB groups where people post selling / buying things but the real discussion is still in old-school vbulletin style forums.
Thanks! Some bus stations in Montreal do have small digital signs announcing the next departures. I’m sure those devices cost a bit of money and need to be serviced, so it makes sense that not all stations get them. (All stations do have a paper schedule which is neat, but isn’t real time info..!)

What Is Customer Creation?
In theory, but in practice customs would achieve that by making demands of delivery companies. Like how ISP domain blocking works in the UK - in theory the government should be enforcing the ban on visiting certain domains (eg thepiratebay) but that's impractical and so ISPs are tasked with doing it.

You'd basically have to crank up a customs operation about the size of Fedex to handle all their parcels, whilst the alternative is "lean on the company" (or force it through primary legislation).

Foundations for Solving Perception
What worked best for me in school was longhand notes and then nightly typing the notes up. (Though I seldom revised the notes the same night or week.) For finals I would spend a lot of time revising my notes and comparing notes with my friends. I found that my friends who had taken notes on their laptops had more notes, but it was exceedingly rare I actually missed anything important.

I tended to be in the top of the classes I was in and as far as I've seen my method was somewhat different.

I also only take notes on paper, but more importantly, I throw all my notes out as soon as I finish writing them.

For me studying is the act of writing the notes. The purpose of notes was never to read them later. That's why writing on paper is important to me. It's not about the qualities and convenience of the storage medium. It's about the experience of writing itself that makes me dislike digital notes.

When it's time for exams I go back to the primary source, whether it's a text book, lectures, or handouts, and I write a new set of notes. I throw those out when I'm done also.

You might think it's inefficient, which it is only in terms of ink and paper. In terms of time and effort, at least for me personally, the act of putting pen on sheet is 10x as effective as reading in building comprehension and retention. From anecdotal observation, I get done in a few hours of taking new notes what my classmates do in days of binge reading.

I've ordered the Sono Sion¹ electric car. It has solar cells (1200W max) that will charge the car during the day adding - on average - 10km range per day (34km max in the summer).

I only drive a few kilometers per week. If everything goes well I won't have to charge the car for months.

The Sion has a rather small battery so its range is only 250km or so. Enough for me, but that's something that a significant number of people are not yet comfortable with.

That’s assuming you’re stuck with the shape of a model 3 rather than building a model 3 sized car. The aerodynamics suck, but a VW camper had basically a flat roof on top of a rectangle. The roof is not going to have an ideal tilt, but side panels will provide real value. In reality you are not stuck with full sized panels so as long as you avoid long curves you can still have a reasonable shape.

PS: Fairly high efficiency flexible pannels are also available. https://portamaxpower.com/products/330-watt-high-efficiency-... Which you can use in some areas to have a more aerodynamic design without sacrificing much solar efficiency.

That's a bit of a mental leap. I'm no fan of the guy at all but saying that support for Trump == support for white supremacy simply isn't true. If their issue is with white supremacy why not ban that specifically?
Same experience here in France. One of the trick we used was to overprice our salaries so we could reinvest those salaries in the company in order to have way more runaway than initially planned. That's until a tax controller came to told us that our salaries were too big for that grant/tax reduction thing. They actually weren't that excessive so with the help of a lawyer, he fucked off. My heart missed a beat or two though.

Lockdown as a Security Module
The transit authority did have an app, which they’ve pulled at some point (as far as I understand, they felt like they couldn’t compete with the level of transit info apps out there — which isn’t untrue). There’s also the Transit app [0] that is made in Montreal, so I guess that they (the transit authority) were happy to shine a light on that (pretty great) app.

In any case, one of the neat things about the Pi sign is that it works for everyone (whether you have a phone or not), and is part of the urban landscape. You can use your phone for more important things, or just leave it alone a few minutes while you wait. :)

I've built a mobile airpollution sensor together with a few other parents and their kids at my 8-year old son's primary school in London. Air pollution is a big topic as the school is right next to a busy road, a lot of children are suffering from asthma and Islington has been pretty useless in collecting/publishing data. So we've started taking things in our own hands and built a handful of raspberry pi based monitors in class rooms, the playground and children take it with them on their school run. geo-tagged data is automatically uploaded to little influxdb/grafana based web service wheneve the pi has a wifi connection. Makes it an interesting project for kids to look and interpret charts and stuff as well. Currently we're measuring PM2.5/PM10, temp and humidity only, haven't had the time yet to look into NOx sensors yet...

There is nothing foolish about incorporating in Australia given we have franking credits so that taxes paid by the company are passed down to the individual.

While I have no great love of the ATO, it is a million times better than the IRS.

Of course you can appeal a tax ruling in Australia. If you have done something that is an open-and-shut case of tax avoidance then this might not help much.
Maybe they can figure out how to embed a solar panel into the display. I guess it would absorb light though so it may be hard to balance with a light emitting display. I wonder if one can be very specific on directionality for both emission (outward direction only) and absorption (inward coming light only.) Logically I would think the emission layer goes on top of the absorption layer.

This seems on the face of it possible. I do not know enough about the specifics if it is reasonable to do.

I could see it though. Just leave your phone face up on your desk during the day to have it charge.

The left column is the notes/subject/item/named person index. If a 3 hr meeting has 12 pages (double sided), I can probably pick up the notes and check all columns in about 10 seconds.

If a URL is mentioned, it's likely either because someone knows it (make a note to ask them for it), it's in their notes (ask for them), or it's been put on a whiteboard (take a photo if needed). Ditto for code, if it's that kind of meeting (and, yes, I do have those kinds of meetings).

The idea that anyone can go out there and "clear it up" is really wrong, and that's why this sort of project is so unhelpful.

This is the pacific ocean - it takes up about a third of the world
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Pacific_Ocean_-_en.png

When I visited the very remote pacific ocean, there was plastic everywhere. On remote islands, every ten feet were plastic bottles and garbage, in the water - everywhere.

The idea that any number of dedicated garbage collection ships, given all the resources in the world, could clear this up, is just completely ridiculous.

>>> It won't clear itself up

And neither will we - it's impossible, and distracts from the real task at hand which is to stop the flow, stop the creation of it.

To solve the problem we must relentlessly point the spotlight back on the companies that are creating this endless flow of garbage.

I think that many people forget that one can start a company without being a “start up”. Foray people, success doesn’t always mean raising a ton of VC funding and aiming for a huge valuation.

I started my company over 18 years ago. We have a lot of fun doing really interesting work for interesting customers. We’re now a “commercial” company funding ourselves through commercial sales. However before we reached that point we had a few SBIR grants as well as some other US govt grants. Total was about 4M. I’d say that was helpful and valuable especially during the recession. Ironically we’ve sold more product to non-US governments than US.

We try to only apply to grants that are 95% focused on what we want to do anyway. We’ve also found that applying to grants we find out about from public solicitations is not worth the effort. To win these grants one needs to find a sponsor interested in your technology, then get them to write a solicitation that is focused on your unique sauce. It doesn’t gaurentee you winning the grant but does increase the chances of your being considered.

I am a little jaded on this topic. I feel that my team has really leveraged these findings into real products and, in turn, jobs. However I see TONS of companies that just charge through grants and never do anything greater with the funding. As a small business owner and tax payer (funder of these grants) that is not what I think is an ideal use of the money.

>> Deep learning algorithms have proven to be better than humans at spotting lung
cancer, a development that if applied at scale could save more than 30,000
patients per year.

It's not easy to scale deep learning because deep neural nets have a very
strong tendency to overfit to their training dataset and are very bad at
generalising outside their training dataset.

In a medical context this means that, while a particular deep learning image
classifier might be very good at recognising cancer in images of patients'
scans collected from a specific hospital, the same classifier will be much
worse in the same task on images from a different hospital (or even from a
different department in the same hospital).

To overcome this limitation, the only thing anyone knows that works to some
extent is to train deep neural nets with a lot of data. If you can't avoid
overfitting, at least you can try to overfit to a big enough sample that most
common kinds of instances in your domain of interest will be included in it.

So basically to scale a diagnostic system based on deep neural net image
classification to the nation level one would have to train a deep learning
image classifier with the data from all hospitals in that nation.

This is not an easy task, to say the least. It's not undoable, but it's not as
simple as having someone at Hospital X download a pretrained model in
Tensorflow and train its last few layers on some CT scans.
Do you care to cite your assertions? The dichotomy you are referring to doesn't exist. Do you have a reliable source that says that there are two broad approaches to AGI, behavior driven and biology driven?

If your view is that the 60+ million Americans that voted for Trump are, in fact, really voting for white supremacy then we aren't even living in the same reality and any further discussion is completely pointless.

I'm biased because it's Australian, but I'm in love with the Breville Dual Boiler. The portafilter has non-standard dimensions which vexes me a little, but it pulls phenomenal shots; I've found the quality to be similar to the La Mazzocco GS3, while being literally one tenth the price.

Oh and the steam wand is lovely.
I don’t understand the issue with this sales tactic. There is complete price transparency, and it takes minimal mental capacity to understand that “discounts” are just to fulfill people’s desire to “get” something that others might not be able to. If they want that dopamine hit, then let them have it.
