Exact same situation here.
I think another possible explanation is that the battery was probably designed and developed in parallel with the camera itself - so during initial prototype testing they could pop in AA's even if the final battery was not available yet.

Selfishness is the root of it. Can you imagine giving up your place of superiority so that someone else gets a chance? They can't.
Meh, please just don't tell me why you are going to change empty phrases for hiring processes again, just give me the list of pop-pleasantries.

Great! I would argue that no, there's still no great resource to learn RL "from scratch" - there's still a huge gap between Sutton&Barto and implementing DDPG. You have to figure out everything by reading existing implementations, various Medium posts (a lot of them containing errors and imprecisions), and research papers. I wouldn't consider Spinning Up as a beginner-friendly resource, it's too dense/math-heavy

The closest I have found so far is the Udacity course: https://eu.udacity.com/course/deep-reinforcement-learning-na... which costs $1000

So yeah, I'm excited to see what you've done! I'm working on a similar course, FYI.
I took the dive into the medium Xs with Apple Care. My hobbies can be rough on things and I lost my 7 kayaking. Lately I’ve been thinking what the hell did I spend almost $1500 on a phone for. I’ve bought spec-ed out laptops and home built computers for that price.

I loved my 7 and almost had it for 3 years. It would’ve lasted 4-5 years.

Is it just me, or has ghosting interviewees become more common recently? I've joked about it being the hiring style of millenials, might be there's actually something to that.
I absolutely hate it though. If someone has invested their time into the interview process, putting hours into coding test, technical interviews, etc. have the decency to check in with them afterwards and provide closure to what was considered an open possibility.
There is also the whole issue surrounding the aggregation of things like location data or traffic analysis via Facebook's tendency to data vacuum combined with the right tooling around the blockchain.

Essentially, what you'd be doing by embracing Libra is giving Facebook access to one of the few types of information about you that they can't access by law. Throw in the extra creepiness of the inevitable forensic accounting services to governments the world over, and you've basically turned Facebook into something with damn near panoptiv capabilities if there isn't some serious revamps to how customer data is mandated to be treated.

As noted in discussion, Luminance VCD while worked for my monitors, backlight level 0x6B or legacy 0x13 would be better choice.

It then can be used by instantiating it at proper I²C monitor bus, e.g.:

Have you tried a larger phone? I have long fingers and found a 5" screen to be the best balance between size and screen real estate. I tried a 6" phone but it was too big.
This typo in the article is too coincidental:

Maybe I'm in some weird minima on an algorithm but my recommendations have always been rock solid. All I can really share is my own data point though.
You're right.

I think it's unremarkable to say:

People who are not straight and/or white tend to have worse outcomes than people who are straight and/or white.

-- and --

Straight white people can have hard, miserable lives.

His specific anger is at the notion that members of minority groups suffer THEREFORE members of majority groups do not suffer. But as you said, you can still have it better than people in a minority group--on average--and also suffer.

There's so much annoying crosstalk when it comes to these issues. That being said, his call to empathy is a good one.
The 4.7" screen is not the SE. The 4" screen is what's on the SE, 5C, 5S, and 5, and makes up just 11% of these users.

Yes, 17% of these users are using the 4.7" screen, which is what's in the 6, 6S, 7, and 8.

The iPhone X and XS have a larger screen dimension in inches but the physical size of the phone is roughly the same thanks to a better screen to body ratio.

When we see 5 and 6 inch phones, but with higher screen to body ratio, some of us seem to mistake this with a phone that is too large to hold.

So what I'm saying is, no, Apple isn't deprecating the 4.7" screen size. Not in any way shape or form. The iPhone 6, 6 Plus, and 5S are being dropped for architectural and performance reasons. The iPod touch just received a refresh and should indicate that Apple will still support the 4" screen size for at least some amount of time.

My final piece of advice is to just get a PopSocket, it makes your phone way easier for single hand usage. There's no need to be stuck using a phone as tiny as the iPhone SE. Customers do not prefer it, it was not popular, otherwise we would still see that form factor.
I don't understand how "tech involvement is harder for URM" as URM appears to mean "unaccompanied refugee minors"??

"I do tend to dismiss the concerns of others, simply because I've come to the conclusion that I cannot fix the vast majority of the problems of other people."

Sorry, I don't understand this logic. I cannot solve world hunger but I recognize that poor food distribution is a problem. Similarly, I cannot solve someone's traumas but I can recognize they've been traumatized. Are we operating on different concepts of dismissing someone's experiences or concerns?
Correct. But the general FB audience cares much less (if at all) about their privacy than the general HN audience.

If you were to estimate FB's health as a company based on HN comments only, it should have been dead and buried long ago.

Exactly; another 9/11 situation is impossible now. They just need to keep doing screenings of passengers and their carry-ons to make sure no one can bring obvious weapons on board; anything else is unnecessary and possibly counterproductive. If someone tries to hijack the plane using razor blades or whatever, the passengers will literally murder them.
Yes. This has been standard practice in animal experiments for many decades.
Somehow as per my experience, I feel quite different when it comes to trusting the same company, when I'm a user, and when I'm the employee. I find it easier to be an employee of the company that quite a few users find fishy, but I get it why some would trust it even less to be good to the workers that they pay, when they are bad to the users that pay them.
The article is full of examples of making the product worse to boost sales. Not a fan of this race-to-the-bottom engineering, no matter how 'iconic'.
I've been to Voat a number of times out of curiosity, and not once have I seen anything resembling meaningful discussion. It was a bunch a comments promoting drivel about white supremacy, lizard-people, LGBT+ lynching, Anti-Semitism, and Fascism. In fact, I distinctly remember every single thread having at least one comment regarding white supremacy.

The Chans are a different entity, as there's no voting function to complete the attention seeker feedback loop. I'd even argue they're one of the few places on the internet that doesn't bubble much, as it's completely anonymous with little reward function. Voat on the other hand is probably the one of the foulest places on the internet when it comes to discussing disgusting and dangerous ideology.
I loved the 20 person simulation the author used. His point about universal suffering reminds me of another point by Sam Harris:

"Everyone you know is practically drowning in suffering"

SH brings up this point to contextualize our own suffering. It's hard for us to socialize with others and make connections, but if we consider other peoples' plights and struggles, it gives us more perspective and may aid us to talk, converse, and collaborate with them.

I tried to apply this in driving. If I am honked at, I usually feel it's not justified and it slightly harms my mood. Therefore, when I see other drivers doing something unsafe or unskillful, I try to spare the horn and simply slow down myself. This is likely another suffering, late person with back pain, bills weighing on them, possibly phone addiction or something urgent going on, and the least I can do is slow down and give them space.

Looking around us and appreciating the suffering of others is a very useful exercise.

I understood that exactly zero were provided that allowed them to not still roam free. Forcing a child rapist or murder into the military is not a viable option.
That's irrelevant and comparing apples and oranges.

30 years is not a long time for such a comprehensive change and it is sensible and needed to have plans and objectives over such timescale.

I don't understand the point of trying to create an argument on this. It's quite obvious that this comes along with actions over 1, 2 years and beyond from now. And we see that happening every day.

If people think that the goal is achievable within 5 years they do not live in the real world.
Note that that is a _glitched_ record. To get 15 minutes you need to not only be very good at the game, you also need to know ways in which the game isn't what it seems to be, e.g. IIRC Prince of Persia has glitches that let you avoid doing some puzzles through careful timing, and skip most fights if you know exactly how to do it.

This is a runner doing a glitched run, right at the start they don't even collect the sword!

Yes it is more than just a food delivery platform ... it was originally designed for local shopping ... but i discovered that it can be used for food delivery as well !

Its primarily designed for fruits, vegetables, grocery, but you can use it for anything ... we are currently adding filtering by item specifications ... which might be more useful in your use-case ...

Currently The delivery is provided by the shop-owner ... ... there is orders inventory ... where the shop-owners can keep track and update the order progress like if its packed and ready for delivery ...

Its just another e-commerce platform which is more focussed for local shopping !

Hope that helps !
>In my case, Mr. Vohra spent a full hour teaching me how to use the app’s features. Superhuman, which plugs into your existing email account, works with only Gmail and Google G Suite addresses for now, but the company plans to expand to other providers soon.

I'm certainly not paying $30/mo for something I need an hour long tutorial just to use, to replace something I'm quite satisfied with.

>But there are bells and whistles that I hadn’t seen before. Like “instant intro,” which moves the sender of an introductory email to bcc, saving you from having to manually re-enter that person’s address. Or the scheduling feature, which sees that you’re typing “next Tuesday” and automatically pulls up your calendar for that day.

Cool features, but worth $30 to save 5 seconds here and there? Not for me, at least.

>Superhuman promises to help V.I.P.s get through their inboxes twice as fast. Partly, that’s because every command has a keyboard shortcut, so a busy power broker never has to waste precious seconds reaching for the mouse

Could this not be accomplished with AHK or something similar? I'm not positive, but I feel like it could.

>“We have the who’s who of Silicon Valley at this point,” Superhuman’s founder, Rahul Vohra, told me in an interview. The waiting list is actually 180,000 people long, he said, and some people are getting desperate.

Perhaps I'm just out of touch, though. Those are some fairly substantial numbers.
Fake news was initially popularized in reference to hoaxes and propaganda being spread on the internet under the guise of legitimate news, and the effect that increasing public trust in such stories had on the recent Presidential campaign cycle.

Trump supporters found themselves more strongly associated with such stories than the Democrats (not surprising given his support among right-wing social media,) so they attempted to reframe "fake news" as, itself, a fake phenomenon invented by the left to discredit alternative media out of fear of the threat it presented to the leftist media establishment status quo.

This to further the narrative that the mainstream media was little more than a propaganda wing of the DNC and its globalist masters, and that any Trump-critical stories from the MSM were likely to be fabrications and thus not to be trusted (but you could trust those stories on your Facebook feed about HRC having Parkinsons' disease or running a child sex slave ring out of a pizza parlor.)

And then Trump himself picked up on it somehow and now likes to label anything and anyone that criticizes him as fake news.

Ironically, the least likely thing to be called fake news nowadays is news that is actually fake.

> Female scientists are 16% less likely than men to get a high score on their grant proposal, and new research suggests word choice might be the reason why.

[...]

> According to the researchers, women used “narrower” words that are “highly concentrated in a small number of topics.” Male applicants, on the other hand, tended to use “broad” words, which “appear at similar rates in all topic areas,” the study stated.

> Women’s use of topic-specific words lowers their chance of getting a high score from reviewers compared to men.

> "Even after accounting for the quantity and quality of male and female applicants, there is still a disparity in outcomes that favors men over women,” Kolev said. “This is a problem not only because of the general issue of underrepresentation of women in science and technology, but also because this disparity strongly suggests that the reviewers are allocating funding inefficiently and failing to make the best use of their organization’s resources."

> In fact, the researchers found that women who received grants during the time of the study “may well generate a greater ‘return’ on resources compared to their male counterparts."

> Murray said the burden lies equally with funders and applicants. Kolev said while female applicants could alter their communication style in pursuit of grant funding, doing so carries the potential risk of undermining the quality of their research.
1-2-3 was way too expensive for me back when I was in graduate school, so I used a shareware clone called 'As Easy As'[1] for the calculations required for my thesis. It worked great.

It's too bad console-based spreadsheets have fallen out of favor. I still find them useful for doing quick calculations when using a terminal. My go-to spreadsheet console app these day is 'sc', which is still available in all the standard linux repositories. An improved version, sc-im, has multi-level undo and color support, and is available on github [2] .

What's baffling to me is that there's support for signing,, but no support for an encryption layer. When delivering software updates for embedded devices, I need to do both, so I have to roll my own container format. This seems to also be the case with package formats like ipkg/opkg, which are targeted for the embedded use case.

Misleading title. While technology may be a factor, the article makes it quite clear that one of the main reasons is that the production in Colombia has more than doubled between 2013 and 2017.

> The cocaine resurgence is fed by a growing supply. According to the UN, the estimated global manufacture of the drug hit the all-time record of 1,976 tons in 2017, the latest year for which data are available – more than twice as much as in 2013, and 25 percent more than in 2016.
Maybe -- and this is just my own opinion/speculation -- this is because in my lines of work, the results of failing to follow a checklist can be at worst catastrophic and relatively immediate. In medicine, some classes of failures might be more subtle and harder to notice.

Every time I increase the size of my phone screen, I experience a large step up in the extent to which I am addicted to my phone.

It might just be the increased responsiveness of a new phone, but I also think there is a direct relation between personal attachment to a screen-object and the field-of-vision % occupied by that screen object.

Squinting might give you eye wrinkles, but I think it is an important check on how much overall screen time you spend in a day.

Now this, to me, would have made a much more interesting subject of investigation.
I think that if you read GP more generously, you'll see that they weren't implying that being white guarantees success. Rather, the point of privilege is that, all things being equal, people who appear white will on average face less conscious/unconscious discrimination and thus fewer obstacles over the course of their lives.
They also communicate knowledge across generations and across flocks. There is a particular mask that corvid researchers at University of Washington used for experiments. It hasn't been used for twenty years. If they bring it out, the flocks still recognize and respond to it, even though the birds who would have seen it are likely dead. Even wilder, birds miles away in the city also respond to it, so the information is being transmitted.
I imagine it will be again. Once the huge phone cycle wanes (and it may already be doing so), we'll start seeing smaller phones pitched as a hot new development. Then again, with Apple beefing up the functionality of their watch, it may be that watch + AirPods takes the place of the tiny phone. Shrug.
As a Persian and a pop player, it sucks. Too easy, bad story for 2008 (considering Persian material available), and bad dubbing(no persian talks like that). Great graphics and potential in gameplay tho.

Indeed! Birds in general have infamously sensitive lungs, apparently because their respiratory system is a one-way loop instead of an in-and-out piston. They can exhale one breath at the same time that another is passing through the lungs. It's amazingly efficient, serving the high oxygen and cooling needs of active flight, but it's far more susceptible to airborne pollutants of all kinds.

But, apparently, sensitivity to pollutants is unrelated to sensitivity to pressure.

Biology is fascinating.
