This generalises. True value is expensive both to create and assess.

And yes, sometimes the deception may be in appearing to be something not valuable but instead high-risk: bluff threats, imitation of poisonous or stinging animals or insects, inflatable tanks.

Slow news day? Not like this is the first heat wave to ever hit more than a couple states. Drink lots of water, move slow, go to work early and leave late (its cooler and less people to get edgy with!)
Denmark is so small that traveling one hour in any direction is likely to either put you in the ocean, or in another country. Or maybe put you through the ocean and then into another country.
My whole point is that if you make the environment more predictable you make the problem easier, not that the only thing you need to do is that. You seem to be attacking a strawman where somehow the whole environment is tailored towards self-driving cars by creating a police state and then the software is very simple. What I'm describing is using all the resources we already have to design and maintain roads to also help with solving the problem, together with all the technology that still has a long way to go. And if we can do that by doing things that also lower risks in normal driving I don't really see the downside. We already see that in the world. There are countries where it is much safer to drive because there's been a continuous focus on solving exactly this type of issues.
Hasn’t this style of computing been attempted previously by the soviets, why hadn’t it caught on previously? From my reading of the article it’s making the claim that as semiconductors become smaller, power leakage becomes more of a concern and the major breakthrough here is that ternary logic semiconductors would have an inherently better energy efficiency as it naturally stores more information. Has power leakage become enough of a concern that it makes development of these semiconductors more worthwhile?

I didn't know about this project. I've wanted something like this for like 2 years or so.
That can be the difference in how the software is deployed. At Google, most things are horizontally scaled and machines are cheaper than engineers. When I worked on Windows, it was the opposite: I was told to refactor clean multithreaded code to reduce the thread count by one. The rationale was that Windows scales vertically and every developer wasting a thread is how Windows gets slower over time.
I'd call my credit card company and see what recourse they offer.
I'm not sure low power was ever a goal. They've chosen USB as the power source, for whatever reason, and fairly consistently managed to just scrape (or just miss) the power budget. I mean, this is a device with no power management (other than temperature throttling), no sleep states, etc. If low power was the goal, they've managed to put out a successful product in spite of themselves.

It feels to me like they've only ever had two solid targets. One is the price-point, and they've shed everything that stood, and the other has been a rather solid attachment to backwards compatibility. (It often feels like the model A only exists because their original claim a $25 computer, and the A means they technically stuck it - despite it being one of their less popular models).

I think another commenter hit the nail on the head though - the whole thing feels like an emotional attachment to the way computing was learnt in bedrooms in the late 80s / early 90s - especially the success of the BBC micros (which I believe the model A & B are named after). Hooking up turtle bots, sticking wires straight into parallel ports, makes mail merges feel like a hollow shell of computing. I think that's what the Pi is trying to bring back (in a manner that makes the computer itself cheap enough to be disposable, rather than some expensive relic that you're afraid to mess with).

(Side ramble: I learnt computing (at school) in the UK in the era directly after this. As strange as this will likely sound to anyone who isn't British, the era when various supermarkets kindly volunteered to replace all our beebs with nice new Windows PCs. We went from wiring weird and wonderful things into parallel ports, to seeing computers as these expensive things that "we" had worked hard for. They went from being tools to being appliances. They weren't to me messed with, modified and tortured - they were to run Claris and Publisher, and later Netscape. My work now owes more to replacing burnt out serial controllers in Amigas, than to anything I learnt at "high school" level computing. We spent a decade or two insulating students from any nuts & bolts understanding, and modern environments are getting worse, not better. So I see Arduino, Raspberry Pi, as the antidote to being taught "computing" on an iPad.)
Thank you, I wasn't online to respond. I agree with all your answers.
I thought that they got most of that money from the companies and influencers paying them to write stories and passing it as news?
Are there specific instances you have in mind? I actually think they do pretty good job on the whole.
seems like the scripts have a dependency on pytorch_pretrained_bert library. Is there a way to run the dataprep/create_pretraining.py or train.py scripts on-premise?
Yes I've noticed it too. I think they tell them this because Maybe it's to prevent freeloaders from creating multiple audible, Netflix, etc trial accounts?

Unfortunately it also defeats the legit purposes too.

I just think it is disingenuous on your part to act like their output puts them in the same boat. You are lumping them together and I find that to be a completely inaccurate comparison. How you can compare someone who literally made nothing with someone who took his millions of dollars of worth and risked them on a space company and a car company ... it just blows my mind.

As far as self driving is concerned I do think that we might be suffering from early apply iphone prototype syndrome: at best we might be a couple of decades away from a solution to this problem. However, if you take the time to listen to some of the presentations given about how Tesla is actually trying to solve self driving, their approach sounds about as sound as I could expect to be.

Please note that defraud is something that applies to people who intentionally deceive. Of the two I would say that only Elizabeth falls in that boat: she went as far as to attempt to alter her voice intentionally among other things. When it comes to Elon, he is just too eager to see results happen. I have difficulty faulting him for that.
I imagine it's because the cell providers asked for it.

The first 2 or 3 google phones I had let me turn on tethering with no problems despite it not being in my contract and somewhere around the pixel 2 it stopped working. So it seems like an intentional change on their part, and likely one that Apple also enforces. To change the flags mentioned previously you also need root, so it provides quite a speed bump for folks trying to use tethering despite it not being in their contracts.
> Are you implying that tourists/visitors/non-locals should have as much say in local rules/policies/etc as the people that actually own property and live in those locations?

As much? No. (However, I do strongly believe that locals who rent should have as much say; often their interests are not aligned with those of homeowners.)

I agree that in some cases, such as locations with huge numbers of tourists where local populations are being driven out, drastic measures are required.

In general, personally, I would favor a compromise involving a lot more regulation (e.g. of AirBnBs in apartment buildings) on the one hand, and making it easier to operate hotels on the other. I support homeowners who don't want informal hotels to be operated out of their apartment buildings; less so, homeowners who don't want hotels (whether formal or not) to be opened anywhere nearby.
To be fair, Guido stepped down because of the way the community reacted.

"The straw that broke the camel’s back was a very contentious Python enhancement proposal, where after I had accepted it, people went to social media like Twitter and said things that really hurt me personally. And some of the people who said hurtful things were actually core Python developers, so I felt that I didn’t quite have the trust of the Python core developer team anymore."

Note that Guido also was in support of the walrus operator, it's not like he stepped down because he disagreed with it.

The body takes 2-3 weeks to adjust to a significant increase in heat, and can lose that adjustment pretty quickly. So in places where it’s routinely hot (esp if it’s dry) the physiologic impact is far less severe than in locations where it’s uncommon enough to preclude sustained physiologic adaptation.
The humidity in non-desert climates means sweating is ineffective, the air doesn't have much more ability to contain water vapor.
I feel like that's being addressed as body cams get rolled out. I've heard about procedures to address faking damaged equipment and other excuses for "missing" footage.

In the UK a typical suggested donation might be £10 per month and the first three payments will go to the sales person's employer - which is typically a third party, not the charity. If you cancel after the first month they get paid but the charity gets nothing. It's sleazier than you think!
That's literally the point: it's not the assignment operator.

The difference between = and == in an if causes many hugs in other languages. Using := for assignment in an expression instead of == means that you can't simply have a typo and have a bug.
That’s impossible unfortunately. Money alone won’t “buy” a guilt free, business-as-usual lifestyle in the face of this emergency. I suggest doing a bit more research to see for yourself what I mean.
I like "as" instead. I didn't realize that was on the table. To me, it seems more Pythonic given the typical English-like Python syntax of "with open(path) as file", "for element in items if element not in things", etc.
> it's the only way to make the problem go away.

You could be right. I would like to think that there is some option which would make everyone more-or-less happy, but it could be that I'm being too optimistic.
Many of the things I get at a Dollar store ARE cheaper, including the same food brands found at a grocery chain.
It's titled faster, cheaper, better:... microservices, implying they were all due to splitting into microservices. But as usual it turns out refactoring was the saviour and microservices achieved jack-squat apart from having something nice to put on his CV.
The market is niche but not necessarily the profit pool. Dell buys PCBs from Foxconn who buys the components in large bidding processes from commodity vendors who probably are eking out basis points of profit. Whereas if someone’s making this for a hobby project or a piece of home decor they might be willing to pay $20 for the printing. Could be a very nice profit stream.
Much more people are going to transfer a lot of data using a computer than using a phone. An hour of YouTube on a phone is only about a gigabyte, think of how quickly you download that on a laptop.
I am an example which supports this notion. I've done some Python programming about 10 years ago but then took a break from programming altogether for the last 9 years. Last year I got back into it and have been using Python 3.7, and I personally love all the most recent stuff. I hate having to go back to 3.5 or even 3.6, and I end up pulling in stuff from futures.
Recently had a legacy Bluehost site I inherited get auto-renewed to the tune of over $400. This was one small step up from a static site, for an organization that doesn't exist anymore--the site remained only as proof that they once did.

There was nothing in the emails they sent saying that auto-renew was set up. The way I read the expiration warnings was that it would, in fact, expire, which I was fine with. Thankfully support was very helpful in refunding the charge and canceling the account.
also, its happening with predictive typing and spelling correction too now...
They don't really need to prove it though. You've got a contract with them, and they have reasonable evidence that you're doing something disallowed which would be a defense against claims that they're breaking the contract.
It's not just performance!

Using percent formatting is superior in many ways:

- errors that occur in formatting a message will be logged instead of raising an exception into your application

- error reporting services like Sentry can properly aggregate events

A few years ago, in France, over 50,000 people died due to heat stroke and other extreme heat factors.

About as much sense as it makes to use ; after every Python statement. Just like Pascal.

(Yeah I know, ; is a statement separator, not a statement terminator in Pascal.)

As long as you're being just like Pascal, did you know Python supported Pascal-like "BEGIN" and "END" statements? You just have to prefix them with the "#" character (and indent the code inside them correctly, of course). ;)

if x < 10: # BEGIN
print "foo"
# END

That is off-topic, except for your last point, to the discussion of their role of contributing to "wasteful consumerism".
And there was also:

It serves a purpose, though, since weather is more relevant to day-to-day experience than most news stories. E.g., Boston is going to hit just about 100F this Saturday; that’s enough to potentially hurt someone not expecting it, and there’s probably people who wouldn’t hear about a heatwave if it wasn’t in something like the NYT.
> Do you really want to die on that particular semantic hill?

Sure. The world of cryptography software is already muddled by misinformation, poor practices and misguided appeals to authority. We shouldn't need to spread misinformation about technologies such as e-mail to get people to stop using it.
Online banking is great for the middle class who might have their paycheck direct deposited into their account, pay their bills online, and have easy access to credit and debit cards. This allows them to be mostly cashless. Poorer people are much more likely to deal in cash and therefore need more access to a brick and mortar bank.

On the issue of ISPs, you are conflating neighborhood density with the economic status of a neighborhood. I would bet that in two neighborhoods with similar density, the wealthier neighborhood generally has the more developed internet infrastructure.

To an extent you're right - for the purposes of learning something for example, a bot can fulfill your needs if, say, it happens to fetch the right information and relay it to you, even if it's spam.

Although a comment like what I just wrote would require some logical deduction if it hasn't appeared on the internet before.

Like your XKCD comic, want to write an undetectable comment bot? Make artificial information fetching (like Google assistant) and add semantic reasoning and logical deduction.

... We'll invent general AI just to get users to click links to "Top 27 hair brushes for curly hair"

Do you have any data that suggests that people are simply choosing unhealthy options vs healthy ones?

You claim that better food isn’t available because people don’t buy it, but I’m not convinced. Can you provide any examples of food deserts that once had great selections of produce and non-processed foods, which disappeared because people weren’t choosing to shop there due to “too healthy” of a selection?

No ones saying Dollar General’s business model is to ensure people only get access to unhealthy options. This is an absurd straw man that no one is claiming. What people _are_ pointing out is that Dollar General has virtually zero incentive to ensure consumers have access to healthy food. Grocery stores in America are essentially unregulated, and it appears that this is a clear example of the free market not providing a solution that ensures everyone has equal access to healthy food.
Good for 90% of your code is not equivalent to getting precisely the same results from unmodified code written in the 80s.
Fair. Fortunately with all the blowback over the walrus operator I don't think we will be seeing any new operators for a long time.
Interesting! Thanks for the share.
Cool write up. Just went through this exact use case a couple months ago. I wish there was a simpler way of just making the bucket owner automatically own anything put into that bucket to simplify use cases like this.
The first model S has been released in 2012, about 370 weeks ago. 900 Mm would be would be 2432 kilometres per week (1511 mi/wk), approximately 24 hours of highway speed driving (100km/h) per week.

Do you have any additional information on this claimed 900000 km figure? Or did you mean 90000 kilometres, which is just standard for such a car type.
I don't think the innovator's dilemma applies as much to a mature markets that aren't growing like is the case for many of these examples. There is not much room to innovate in the low cost urban grocery store industry. Even Walmart has been very slow and cautious to enter that market while taking on almost every other sector of brick and mortar retail in the US.
These days, an important skill is security, and security thinking, which requires modern encryption. The government currently demands to eavesdrop on all ham communications. Well, of course it does.

The poorer you are the more reliant you are on cash.

The Zen of Python says that there should preferably be one obvious way to do it, not always strictly only one way.

Also, this motto should be interpreted in the appropriate historical context – as taking a position in relation to that of Perl, which was dominant when Python was gaining popularity and had the motto "there's more than one way to do it".
Why hard at scale?

The only maintenance I've found you needed to do is clear the windows - do it at least monthly during the growing season. And also don't let it grow on to gutters.

Basically push the ivy off of the windows so it hangs down. Hanging down like that seems to send the plant a signal to stop growing in the area. (If you cut it it seems to grow even faster there.)

If the plant dies, which does happen, you need to wait a while for the glue pads to degrade before removing the old plant from the walls.

It's not really any harder than dealing with gardening in general.
