The notion of "means of production" is not applicable to modern economy since now a simple computer can be "means of production" in the right hands, that's why modern states redistribute some percentage of produced goods, instead of trying to seize means of production. This redistribution still does lots of harm, but if we decide to not redistribute at all, we end up with a large number of people who are so unhappy that may agree to destroy everything as they don't have anything to lose (though usually it turns out they underestimate the amount of things they can lose), so to prevent this we may end up with ubi, as my unpopular comment above was suggesting.
The centimeter limit is an engineering heuristic used by people combining high-precision GPS, LIDAR, remote sensing, and sometimes other sensors to build high-precision models of the world e.g. maps for autonomous systems. LIDAR alone can routinely detect changes in relative local surface geometry in excess of a centimeter across a day in practice. Autonomous driving typically uses an error bound of around 10 cm on absolute positioning even though the sensors used to determine that positioning often have sub-centimeter precision, for similar reasons. Real-time localization is an interesting problem because measurement with orthogonal sensor modalities can produce conflicting results with differences greater than the nominal precision of those positioning algorithms. Getting the last few centimeters of functional precision out of contradictory measurements is one of the things you need AI for.

I agree that parts of the world have repeatable measurements below 1cm if you can account for the myriad effects that cause displacement, but others do not. The models are also approximate, since some effects require real-time measurement of things we do not have real-time measurements for, or which are not practically available in contexts where local position needs to be determined.

> Mr. Epstein had been on suicide watch after he was found injured on July 23 and received a daily psychiatric evaluation, according to a person familiar with his detention. He was removed from suicide watch on July 29 and returned to the special housing unit, a segregated area of the prison with extra security, this person said.

> The authorities did not immediately explain why he was taken off suicide watch. The F.B.I. said it was investigating, and Attorney General William P. Barr said in a statement that a special inquiry would be opened into what had happened.
Sure. Fairly rare though? I think English will be as adequate as any natural language to describe most core phenomena of our physical universe and human culture.
I could not disagree more. I test drove a Model S years ago and was genuinely shocked how horribly it handled. Weight is the enemy of handling, and those cars drive like boats if you ever turn the steering wheel.

However I have heard the Model 3 handles great, but still not quite as good as cars in the same price bracket. I'd take an M2 Competition over a Model 3 Performance based on what I've heard, but obviously until I drive both that's just conjecture.

What I can say for a fact - I genuinely preferred how my 94 Camry handled compared to the Model S. And I fucking hated that Camry.
ok. Deliveries of the model 3 started in 2017. But it took a while to reach critical mass. And some countries still haven't gotten them.

EDIT:
"Prices for this ‘Turbo’ launch model will be around £130,000 with cheaper/slower versions kicking off around £65,000 within 18 months of the car’s launch in late 2019. "

So... maybe we'll see some in 2019, but really it's 2021 before more than a few thousand hit the market.
> None of this is how this stuff works.

If you make that claim, you should do some actual debunking instead of just nitpicking.

> Companies don't use debt to buy stock.

Yes, they do.

> Taking on the debt to do that would depress the stock price the same amount that the buying would attempt to appreciate it.

Maybe if valuation was strictly tied to fundamentals, which it isn't.

> This would be reflected in the CPI.

Eventually it will be, but that can take a while, because many of the prices involved in the CPI are sticky.

> No they aren't. See UBER/LYFT/AAPL.

I'm sorry, I meant to write "profits" there. Sure, UBER and LYFT may have a lot of revenue, but they're losing a lot of money in the process. I wouldn't say Apple is overvalued, but clearly the market is taking its lack of growth prospects unkindly.

> The Fed does not claim that. They claim inflation is nominal near their intended target.

Fair enough, to be precise, that is what they are saying, and what I mean by "no inflation (to worry about)".

> Finally, stop saying FED. It's not an acronym.

I'm aware of that, but I think it looks better this way. If writing it that way annoys just one nitpicker on the internet, it's worth it.

+1 on keyboard remapping, though I’ve never gotten used to it permanently myself. In Colemak, Caps Lock was originally changed to backspace, so for users who don’t need to hit Ctrl as often, that’s also an option. I suspect the only way I’ll remember the remapping permanently is to disable the original/bad mapping, such that every time I do the old way, I remind myself it doesn’t work that way and hit the new key instead.
This, so much! I'm continually shocked by how bad the UX is in GPS apps in 2019.
>>>why do we need cars that can do 0-60 in 2-3 seconds

So you can pass cars that are driving too slow in the fastlane at highway speeds. 0-60 times are a general indication of the car's torque curve and power delivery. Depending on gearing, there's a pretty good chance a car with crazy-good acceleration will have no problems "bobbing and weaving" around some slowpoke in front of you without requiring hundreds of meters of space in the other lane to facilitate the overtake.

>>>Those kinds of g-forces are certainly not pleasant for passengers.

That entirely depends on the character/personality of your passengers. After a friend's wedding a few months ago I drove some of his relatives to the after-party. These guys were visiting from Hong Kong and don't own cars. Along the way I had an impromptu drag race with a random motorist and my passengers were ECSTATIC. "OMG this car is sooo awesome!!". Most of my friends are similar but they are predominantly car guys anyway. But I have another friend who is more of a "boulevard cruiser" type of guy who gets uncomfortable with aggressive driving. shrug

Yes Mercurial is easier to use than git, and really fossil is even better for me, someone that works solo. However git is what I use. I know that if I am going to help someone with source code control (like my daughter who is studying CS) git is what they will need help with. Personal use of git is to me the only way to ensure that I can give pertinent help.
It's a naked singularity. Light can escape from the center ring of the singularity and you could possibly observe it.

Also, I can sympathize with the author regarding the horrid way some medical practitioners (or perhaps even "the system" in general) have treated him/her. It's incredible when you first realize many doctors will simply not be bothered to get uncommon conditions properly diagnosed! This also has some financial motivation, in that non-trivial diagnostics require a bunch of costly diagnostic procedures (think MRI for example).

It doesn’t have to be an assassination, paying off the guards that watch him to walk away and let his current mental state run it’s course is enough.

While you can still likely be charged with something it’s not clear what it is, negligent manslaughter doesn’t fit and I don’t know if you can be charged with murder for an outcome you don’t have direct control off, well the can charge you with anything but conviction on this account would be a very interesting case.

That said in this case I think it’s way more likely that this wasn’t anything besides a colossal cockup by the DOC/DOJ guards assigned to the suicide watch.

Heck I really wonder if there is a correlation between say the NFL season or any other sport for that matter and how many people die in custody.

I’m cynically willing to bet that during say march madness you might have an actual statistically significant hike in prison fatalities due to guards who should have been there to intervene slipping away to somewhere to catch up on a game.

I've been curious why "conspiracy theory" is used exclusively as a pejorative. Turns out that Wikipedia defines it as such:

> A conspiracy theory is an explanation of an event or situation that invokes a conspiracy by sinister and powerful actors, often political in motivation, when other explanations are more probable.

But who gets to define what is more probable? Why not just "when there is no proof (yet)"? But I guess that battle and term are lost.

I had mild pain in my wrists in the late 90's I switched to ergonomic keyboard, got a good office chair, and switched to Dvorak layout. I did this for my work and home environment.

One additional step I had to take. I removed they armrests from each chair and have continued to do so with all chairs. I found myself leaning into the armrests too much to the extent of causing abrasions on my elbows. With removal of the armrests I work and play at the computer with better posture. I mention this only because what works will vary between people and I think it's an important change.

Also, I have no idea what to credit with the pain of my wrists going away. I suspect Dvorak, but it was probably a combination of factors.

I started having this issue when my EDS led to Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, which caused nerve pain down my hands, and only exercises to release the entrapped nerve in my shoulders helped.
> Apps could announce the upcoming railroad crossing

This can have the potential effect that people expect the apps to always announce a crossing. So when the app fails to announce for whatever reason, people go through the crossing and get hurt.
I've learned a great deal about motors over the years. I don't doubt what they have here is real, as, these principles have been known for a long time.

The reason we don't use permanent-magnet synchronous motors like this in cars though, is because rare earth magnets are much more expensive, and more fragile, than using synchronous reluctance motors which are mostly iron.

The auto companies aren't dumb --if they thought PMS motors were cost effective, they would have been using them by now.
You’re correct, the transactional part is true, but MasterCard is following a relatively basic process:

1. Authenticate the transaction (is this ‘uber’ Company ok and is it reasonable this user is using it for fraud detection)

2. Check that the users balance + the cost of the trip < the users credit limit

3. Post the change to a transaction log

4. Some hours/days later, finalize the pending transactions.

That’s a whole lot simpler (outside of fraud detection) than what Uber has to do to get you from A to B.

An even bigger cost is power (if we’re talking about a lot of compute capacity- eg a private cloud). A cluster that’s running older servers might be 30% cheaper to purchase, but it will likely be more power inefficient, which would make it significantly more expensive to actually operate. Depending on your workload, it is often the case that purchasing new (more efficient) hardware can actually be the cheaper option than running on older hardware from an OpEx standpoint.

To other readers: Be very careful about weight lifting. It has a lot of risks, both of immediate trauma and longer-term excessive strain.

I'm not suggesting that you _not_ lift weights - just take care.
