AI drug discovery is not an ideal market -- crowded, and long horizons to validation checkpoints. Our value prop to pharma is in clinical trials utilities. Relative to drug discovery, better path from pilots to revenue deals, but still cumbersome. Nonetheless your advice to target startups is sound :)

This is a fanboy answer: "Planes ARE the safest way to travel: maybe drones are the safest in certain conditions"

Western airliners are very safe, but the USA averages one GA accident per day:

https://www.faa.gov/news/fact_sheets/news_story.cfm?newsId=2...

Helicopters have much worse failure modes, even in multi-million dollar aircraft. Small drones are the worst of all, and should not be flown over populated areas.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_nut

The FAA historically has regulated that aircraft fly 500' and above over non sparsely-populated areas for a reason. Or you lose your license.

Drone deliveries fundamentally violate that, as regardless of where your warehouse is located, you're deliberately flying towards a populated area (ie. customers.)

The above is why the FAA has justly been slow on allowing drones into the airspace, and why you have to register them.

A constructive comment I can add is that I can only see delivery drones being safe with a built-in fixed wing that allows it to glide to the ground power-off below 10 mph.

Last year in the Netherlands more e-bikes were bought than regular bikes. And on average the e-bikes cost twice as much as the regular bikes. What the Dutch have discovered is that an e-bike is more of a substitute for a car rather than for a pedal bike, it's expands the range of running errands up to 10km or 15km while being more convenient and often faster than a car.

This is future of most cities worldwide sooner or later.
Almost every other laptop comes with an empty RAM slot nowadays, I bet you can plug in an extra few gigs into it.
We exclusively do Nvidia/Linux.

With nvidia-docker (multi-year effort at this point) and AMIs, esp. the era of ML, this is a non-issue for 80% of our users. The other 20% struggle even without the GPUs. ML is a thing and GPUs run it, so the community has come together here.

Linux laptops remain a mess in general tho, which is annoying for non-cloud dev =/

I have to say that the parental controls are really strict, in particular the chat auto-moderation, to the point that any word or sentence that could be remotely considered inappropriate is censored. I suppose this is a good thing considering that most players are young kids.

Monopolies are usually defined in terms of sellers controlling the prices of the goods they sell, rather than the buyer forcing the seller to change price. Perhaps there's another definition for this situation.
That looks nice. Is it working well on Mojave? Last update 8 May 2018, and the release notes don't mention anything.

I own a similar app called Witch[1] from Many Tricks (the guy behind Moom). Also a nice Cmd+Tab upgrade.

It's a good question, but I think if that were true, we wouldn't see many startups in places like SF and NYC, and quite a lot of them in the middle of nowhere.

For me, interactions with novel people, experiences, and ideas are a big feeder for my own ideas.
I spent over 9 years as a software engineer at a finance shop known for it's high turnover and burn out rate. Average life expectancy in IT when I joined eas 1.5-2 years. I do and dont regret having stayed that long. Some of my long term health issues are due in part to my time there. No way to prove it, of course.

I worked with a lot of great people, but years of sustained 80-100 hour work weeks, getting called on the rare vacation and the inability to have a personal life (only dated for a total of like 5 months in the 9 years I was there). I didnt get married until 5 years after I left, and ironically to the exwife of a former coworker from the same firm. The pisser is that I was grossly underpaid for 7 of those 9 years. I was taken advantage of because I was a mew hire directly out of college. After several years, I realized this as I became a defect team lead and assumed about 13x the responsibility I was hired for within 2 years. It took a written offer from well, Amazon, to get my pay adjusted. I got a 50% pay increase midyear to stay... Ive since moved on, and honestly, not sure which decision I regret. I'm still in finance, but a lower stress firm, with a dead simple commute, typically 40 mins in the car tops per day, round trip. Id be far happier if I was suffering from the pain of accumulated medical issues.

I think reversibility/non-immutability is one of the sides of this iron triangle, as Bitcoin currently supports all three you listed, but is a fraud risk because while you can transfer a practically unlimited amount globally for $1 in an hour, there is no “undo”, which is, in various ways, a blessing and a curse.
I run 8GiB without swap. It kills processes off quite nicely when hitting OOM as there is no time wasted with paging out to slow storage.
Too bad they never implemented Linux support, and can't fix their network code to work in Wine either.

Business people wearing sneakers is more common in the US than elsewhere. When I came to the US I was like 'wow, so many of these people are planning on going for a jog during their lunch breaks!' Nope, people just wear running shoes with their slacks.
A lot of processes don't handle ENOMEM well. Your mail client asks for memory for a buffer to write an email and it gets ENOMEM, what's it going to do? Silently fail to do anything? Pop up an error message (which will probably take memory to display)? Exit?
Oh, interesting! I was just thinking how much space in SF is wasted on roads. I'd love to see them create superblocks and turn some streets into parks, housing, etc.
I think 8ch is something you already had to actively seek out. I've never come across a link to 8ch in the wild. I've only seen it in discussions of fringe extremist communities on the internet.

My concern with big companies deplatforming political extremists that weren't in the public eye is that it almost validates their "they don't want us saying XYZ because it's true" points. Not that their political shit has any basis in reality, but when impressionable people see that they actually are being squeezed out of the internet, it leads many of them to conclude that their other points are valid.

Right now, loads of extremists are taking to Discord and other private chats to discuss their points and recruit people. Inside those tight-knit private groups, there's no possibility of a random passerby to stop in and offer a dissenting view. They see their discussions as the absolute reality of the world. Pushing them deeper into those groups feels far more dangerous to me.
Couldn't read this because of the huge, glaring falsehood on the first page. Monopoly does NOT mean "power to affect prices". It is defined as having exclusive control of the supply of a good within a market. Redefining monopoly to fit your argument is just lazy clickbaiting.

Imagine a very large mostly volunteer-run event that only runs once a year or so and where some fraction of the volunteers are running the event for the first time.

At the end of the day all the important equipment gets packed up, shipped somewhere, and unpacked.

But sometimes -- rarely, but sometimes -- some really important piece of equipment gets left behind at the event site or unpacked incorrectly at its new location.

I just described marathons, carnivals, and... voting.

Abstracts are typically between 150 and 250 words, yet studies, especially clinical trials, are frequently complex affairs. Fitting nuance into an abstract is just often not possible, and frankly, the clearest most succinct language usually oversells the results.
>And this is where it all falls down. Any belief system which conflicts with your own is a system which is expressing “intolerance” to your belief system.

Not true. Belief systems can conflict without calling for each other's destruction, or discrimination and cruelty against each other's followers.

But the ones that do call for that kind of behavior, like religion calls for discrimination against gays and cruelty towards women, don't have the right to complain about people who they discriminate against (and other non-bigoted allies) not tolerating their discrimination.

Used to work at Salesforce, which has it's own social network thing called Chatter. The most popular group internally was Airing of Greavances (Seinfeld joke), which was entirely to gripe.

The management has been asked about the group a few times, and they've noted it all ends up on glassdoor anyways. Old article from 2012 where it is brought up: https://www.businessinsider.com/salesforce-chatter-airing-of...

They did seem to get a lot of value out of that group over time. They had some people monitoring it and legitimately tried to fix some of the complaints (not always successfully, of course).
Might it be due to the default delay on Caps Lock?

With no script it’s rare for Firefox to eat all my memory (with 4GB of ram) more often It’s GCC. I really just need to be involved when that happens, going and killing things isn’t the answer.

One thing I do want to try is sand boxing the browser using UML (which I’ve been using a lot of lately.) This way since it gets its own kernel I can totally limit everything.

Have you ever had a subject matter that you are comfortably familiar with explained to you through a strained analogy in a patronizing manner that makes you question the speaker's own understanding of the material? This book is full of those.

Here's a representative excerpt from early in book:

“Imagine you are on a ship that has reached constant velocity (meaning without a change in speed or direction). You are below decks and there are no portholes. You drop a ball from your raised hand to the floor. To you, it looks as if the ball is dropping straight down, thereby confirming gravity is at work. You are able to perceive this vertical shift as the ball changed its location by about three feet.

Now imagine you are a fish (with special x-ray vision) and you are watching this ship go past. You see the scientist inside, dropping a ball. You register the vertical change in the position of the ball. But you are also able to see a horizontal change. As the ball was pulled down by gravity it also shifted its position east by about 20 feet. The ship moved through the water and therefore so did the ball. The scientist on board, with no external point of reference, was not able to perceive this horizontal shift.”

The other half of the book is Charlie Munger quotes. I would say skip the trouble and go straight to reading “Almanack”.
Several major journals, including nature, put the methods at the end.

Sorry to the American folks here, this might sound offensive, but I agree with bllguo. As an European colechchristensen's point of view feels alien.

I'd argue that for the average European this kind of comment would seem paranoid bordering on insane.

I guess some cultural differences are found way deeper than you'd expect.

The European point of view about the whole "government opression" thing is that you don't fight tyranny with guns and cars (LOL), but with a population educated about the benefits of democracy. If you've lost the people, nothing can save you.

Architecture becomes hostile when the design doesn't guide users to a better alternative. It's fine to create a pee-deflecting wall, but there better be a public bathroom nearby. Likewise it's fine to reserve some benches for people who want to sit at the bus stop, but there should be some spaces nearby for people who want to recline also.
The program using all the memory here is Chrome (or Firefox). It has more information about what is going on than the kernel does. It should be smarter about memory use when it is trying to consume more memory than is available. Perhaps it could page out background tabs to disk or something similar if memory is low.
Due to the very low energy storage density in Wh/kg for li-ion and li-po type batteries, VTOLs are the inevitable design decision a lot of companies are arriving at. For a big filming octo, capability to stay in the air for 45, 60 or 90 minutes is not essential and it doesn't need to travel far.

If you look at the pilot projets for drone delivery in Canberra, it's all VTOLs.

The instantaneous watts required for forward flight with wings at a reasonable speed are much lower than the watts required for the same weight of craft, same general dimensions, same speed, forward flight with four, six or eight rotors.

Do you know what kinds of results are possible with a standard consumer 3D printer? (A PLA printer?) The page says, "Any layer lines in the print end up transferring through to the glass, which makes polishing a lot more difficult," but does "a lot more difficult" mean impossible?

(I have an Ender 3 printer, and a microwave, so it looks like I can possibly get started for <$100. But both because of price and turnaround time, I am not very interested in using online resin printing services.)
Great, thank you! Is this an attempt to decommodify food (in the Marxist sense)? Do non-corporate farmers typically make more than $10k/year in developing countries?
Well that is up to other people. It doesn't make the company inherently political.

This logic as previously stated is a horrible mind worm that infests everything and ruins a great many things that are just useful (razor blades) or fun (video games).

Politics is a set of power games done by people we call politicians and promoted by their activists. It has nothing to do with right and wrong.

I actually recognize the drone body that Matternet is using there, it's a monocoque molded carbon fiber + fiberglass body from a manufacturer in China, where it's sold as an agricultural spraying drone.

Rapid descent sensors don't necessarily need to be pressure based at all. While in controlled flight there is a limitation (as governed by flight controller and ESCs) for how rapidly a quad, hex or octo can descend. Accelerometer data can be used to trigger a parachute and/or airbag system. A multiply-redundant array of small accelerometers that can detect freefall is very tiny and light weight.

Most higher end flight controllers have double or triple accelerometers onboard.
The article goes awry from the first sentence:

> If election security is an engineering problem,

It's not an engineering problem, it's a political problem. To the extent that it's engineering, it's solved if we would only adopt the known good approaches.

But we won't because there is political utility in having elections remain murky and messy for parties who may benefit from manipulation of the vote through disenfranchisement or other shenanigans.
That is not my experience with Silicon Valley. My experience is an area of mostly suburbs with small strip malls and 10 block downtowns. Cars are a must and public transit is terrible.

Probably lack of integration; if NT hits a memory issue, it can just pass notice to the tightly-coupled userland and GUI. If Linux runs out of memory, even if it internally knows what process to blame... What would it do that makes sense for a headless server, TiVo, and Android phone? Keeping in mind that the kernel folks don't even work that closely with many userspace vendors.
How serious or dangerous climate change is has nothing to do with what your opinion of the activists is. I tend to agree that nuclear is probably an important part of the solution, but your position is a non sequitur.
Mind you, "urban" by census definitions is very broad. I live in the middle of about 100 acres with a couple of neighbors 40 miles outside of a major city and I'm considered urban.

A lot or urbanization isn't Brooklyn. It's smaller cities with minimal transit systems.
The Bondi to Coogee beach walk is spectacular. I also like that there’s one street which cuts through the entirety of downtown Sydney (George Street).
we build new cities next to existing cities. very few cities spring up in the middle of nowhere. if you want to connect back to the original town, say mountain house to oakland, you’ll drive in to oakland. or drive to bart and bart in. it’s not realistic that everyone lives close enough to public transit that they can bike or walk or bus to it. a big draw of living out of the most populated areas is having your own house and land somewhere quiet. and this is definitely engrained in our culture, it’s the american dream to own your own home
Car free in downtown Minneapolis for a while now and lease out my parking spot for $200/month.

Don't see how it could be any more convenient, easy, affordable and stress free of owning a car. Winter is easy with the Skyway [0].

I've seen people go get Starbucks in their pajama's, I can go to the gym, work, grocery store, Target, and more all through the Skyway when weather is bad.

The two light rails are only a block away and go from downtown to Mall of America and University of Minnesota. I have multiples of bus stops right outside my condo.

I usually just fill up a GoToCard with $20 when needed and go when ever and wherever I please without issues. Which gets me access to any bus or light rails.

The only downside I have so far is that I haven't found a good stop off the bus or light rails where I can conveniently and quickly get to play outdoor pick up hockey.

Don't see any way of succeeding at graphic representation of a silent, invisible, eventually deadly emanation.

Too much left-brain in most tries. The modern 'biohazard' symbol is not scary... nor is the ISO radiation sign. 'Skull and bones' is moreso.

Many old Hollywood films kept it simple with warning messages posted around territories ... heads on pikes, hanging skulls, that sort of thing. They say 'Enter here and you will likely die' pretty effectively.

Even George Pal's morlocks were scarier than that ISO sign. Looks like an ad for sunblock.

Zipline's system is a much lower cost, light weight implementation of what InSitu (now a Boeing subsidiary since they were acquired) designed for the defense market, for their Scaneagle. They were by no means the first to launch or recover a fixed wing drone in that manner.

As you point out it provides a lot of advantages in not needing to carry the extra weight for a VTOL, no landing gear, extra energy boost on launch. It's very close to the optimal energy usage in watts for motor, per size of craft, that can be achieved right now.

The other advantage of using a single motor fixed wing craft is ability to use lithium ion batteries which are relatively higher Wh/kg density. These are not as capable of instantaneous high amps as lithium polymer are. The best commodity, commercially available lithium ion batteries are in the range of 210 to 248Wh/kg right now. The best lithium polymer batteries are about 178Wh/kg.

FPV hobbyist fliers who build fixed wing and flying-wing craft use lithium ion for longer range.

I'm not sure how he's getting swap even with swap off, but this seems to be the big disadvantage to having overcommit --- the memory allocator won't ever say NO, so an application can keep allocating memory even if that memory becomes uselessly slow to actually access.

Then again, this "allocation will never fail" mentality has also lead to applications being written with such an assumption, and when allocations do fail, they crash. (Arguably, that's better than thrashing the rest of the system.) I don't know if the modern browsers will actually stop letting you open new tabs and just give an "out of memory" error instead of crashing, but that's how most Windows programs are usually written --- without the assumption that allocations can never fail, because on Windows, they can.
I had to remove Roblox from our devices because all of the levels my daughter would load were either not age appropriate or would put IAP purchase buttons under the controls so you couldn’t avoid hitting them accidentally. It was incredibly scummy. My kids are young so maybe they just don’t know how/where to find decent levels but it felt gross and wasn’t something we wanted to encourage. IAPs were absolutely everywhere in the levels I saw her playing before we made the call.
