I am only speculating, but I think in Europe at least, there is a tendency to avoid railway crossings with rails that run parallel to another road. And if that cannot be avoided, the trains are required to run very slowly along those tracks. Part of the problem here is that the trains are unable to stop in time, because these are high speed tracks.

I see. For the time being the IBM stock is holding well. In the long term it may be hard to see if the acquisition was a good idea or not (given that the outlook for IBM alone was not so bright anyway) but I think I share your skeptiscism.
Compared with the UK where I previously lived, the US has a large number of railway crossings in urban and suburban areas, full stop. So many of these would be a bridge or cutting in the UK. I used to live in a city where the train literally ran down the middle of the road. Secondly the marking is somewhat understated and can look confusingly similar to a regular intersection,
many do not have barriers, and many are adjacent to or run through a road intersection with conventional lights, for added confusion. Finally, the US allows right-turn on red, so it’s normal to pass through a red light and make a turn.
How is that marketing? That's just fraud.
SF isn’t really a sprawled city by American standards. The cities outside of SF are sprawled (like San Jose) but SF is pretty compact in comparison.

That's the key line in that article. Adding it to Google Maps doesn't fix this. Putting up a sign that says "No idiot, don't turn here" doesn't fix this. Better driver training doesn't fix this. Better working time rules (the driver was "severely fatigued") doesn't fix this.

>>Why would you design levels which makes it impossible to play in this style, if some people prefer it? Why would you design a level to force a specific play style, even though they might not enjoy it?

For the same reason someone designing a sports car will make the suspension super stiff - because they want to achieve a specific goal with their design. My grandmother would hate driving such a car as it would be uncomfortable for her, but it might be an acceptable trade-off for those looking for a specific type of experience. If you're not enjoying a specific type of game design then it simply means that the game isn't for you - and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
So, after the guy attempted suicide, and is facing a massively embarrassing scrutiny of his sex life, they decided not to put him on suicide watch? That's nearly as suspicious as dying on suicide watch.
The reason for this is counterfeit hardware. All nexus switches, APIC controllers, and UCS hw use TPM to validate software licensing. Invalid license, hardware is locked down. Witnessed this first hand on a bad APIC (ps call your favorite Cisco rep, they will hand out old ACI hardware like candy to a 3 year old)

Back in the IOS days there were many stories of calling into smartnet and finding the hardware you bought new from CDW had a serial different from Cisco’s master list. Cisco would cut you off for fear of liability, the owner would dump the hw onto the used market and lather-rinse-repeat with another unsuspecting fowl.
I think that those "95% efficient" motors are not 95% efficient at all speeds and loads. From what I can grasp, the variable configuration of the rotors let's them trade speed and torque without any loss in efficiency by changing the energizing patterns in the controller. The reduction gearbox is pretty simple in design but it adds one extra component to fail, and it adds weight.

I'm curious to see if they can make the controller simple (cheap, reliable, efficient) - that seems to be the next immediate challenge.

It is not comparable at all, first of all walmart handles only one specific field, unlike the state having monopoly on everything. Second, there are competitors to walmart so when walmart starts to do crappy job a competitor that does better job will drive it out of business. Third if you build your own robot walmart won't be able to take it, and socialist state will have to take it to remain socialist.
All of this forces walmart to listen to the people who consume its services, in socialist economy no one has incentive to care.

The problem is not that life is meaningless, it’s that you were taught to expect meaning, thus creating negative affect when you discover the truth. This expectation can be unlearned, and, additionally, you can learn to generate positive affect internally if you choose. Life is meaningless, but I can choose to feel good anyway.
Yeah I tend to do the same. In something like half life 2 I’d just hover around a few weapons and use them for 90% of the time even when a better weapon would be more effective against a particular enemy. The more exotic the weapon the more I will save it for a special occasion but that occasion never seems to arrive.

I developed an RSI a few years ago, and I had to leave my job. It was devastating to lose both my career and my passion to an injury.

Since then, I've been working with a friend on a new voice coding app called Serenade [1] that aims to enable anyone to program by voice. With Serenade, you can speak natural English voice commands like "delete second function" and "add class person". Not only can this be faster than typing, but it also means you don't have to memorize the syntax details of every language or a bunch of editor keyboard shortcuts.

We found that cloud speech APIs and programs like Dragon weren't accurate enough for common programming words, so we built a custom speech engine (based on Kaldi [2]) that's designed specifically for coding. The app is still early, but we think the future of programming is working with these higher-level inputs rather than typing out code entirely by hand.

We're looking for people to give feedback, so if anyone is interested in giving it a try, you can download Serenade at [3] or email me at matt@serenade.ai.

There's a number of things that are alarming me about this, but I'll focus on one thing: the privacy implications. Not just for the user, but for those who will appear in the pictures that Google will be - for sure - ingesting for the purpose of crowdsourcing street view imagery. Suddenly we have this platform that will be capturing millions of faces and potentially know where people have been even if they don't use the app.

Not to mention that this type of app is treating people as incapable of following directions and it opens up the possibility of new avenues of advertising. Google already keeps an archive of your whereabouts and can even tell when you get in and out of a car. Just imagine wielding your phone around and getting "special offers" for that store you go by but never walk into.
...and then got stuck on the tracks:

The truck driver is reported to have driven along the tracks having turned too early before the intersection at Fifth Street and then having gotten his wheels jammed in the tracks from which he was then unable to extricate it.

It's a little surprising, since you'd think a truck would be high enough to clear the rails, or that he would immediately realise and try to reverse back into the intersection, but I guess panic set in.

>The patient in this case would not see a psychiatrist since he's not depressed or mentally ill.

Severe pain due to psychosomatic causes sounds like mental illness to me.

>Instead he would be sent to a psychologist who can only recommend further therapy.

No, they can also strongly recommend that they see a psychiatrist for potential medications.

>The patient in this case would not see a psychiatrist since he's not depressed or mentally ill.

Every health system I've dealt with funnels to medication pretty strongly. Therapy is a slow process and medication allows a patient to not be in distress during the years it can take.

>Therapy is something to do as part of diagnosing your ailment.

Therapy is a slow process that in the best of cases can take years to work and longer in other cases. It is a shitty approach to diagnosis.

When it's difficult to find any compassion for these people, keep in mind that many of them are still awaiting trial, and haven't actually been found guilty yet (a poor example, but Epstein's trial was scheduled for June 2020 - it blows my mind that you could spend a year in prison without being found guilty. Or that others may spend their year and yet be found not guilty).

Or cases like the 'Manhattan Five' (and innumerable others) where entire sentences could be spent before being ultimately exonerated.

I'm not saying it should operate like a day spa on the assumption that someone may be there improperly. But if you need to scrape up a shred of humanity, remember that the worst we have to offer may not be the only people in there.
The scale-up vs. scale-out argument is very old. I don't see Kubernetes providing a new answer either way. But it does not have to.

Let's stipulate that most analytic applications can run on single servers. You still need a way to schedule work efficiently when the applications in aggregate require more than a single host. Kubernetes does that very well.

That's leaving out considerations like HA. The paper is notably silent on this topic. To keep systems up across failures as well as maintenance you need replicas in different locations. There's an implication in the paper that everyone is just going to run off S3, which is assumed to be globally available. Not everyone makes that choice for a variety of reasons. So we will continue to see shared nothing designs that require placement across hosts, racks, AZs, etc. Kubernetes is efficient at deploying these.
So, you're saying that there is no suicide watch really, even for the blatantly violently suicidal who have just made a suicide attempt?

Remember - cells have video cameras, or at least - certainly suicide watch cells do, and people glance at these camera, you would think, every few minutes. Was Epstein the fastest noose-maker-and-hanger in the world?

I wonder if this would be true if the War on Drugs did not exist. Or if the CIA hadn't played a large role in spreading crack cocaine throughout Los Angeles to fund a proxy war with Iran, leading to a massive criminal element and subsequent rapid militarization of police and refocusing of FBI, CIA and police resources towards non-violent, victimless crimes.
Wow, Talon looks very interesting. For those who have gotten up to speed with it (or something similar like VoiceCode), how long did it take you to get reasonably productive?

Also, is anyone out there working on a voice control VSCode plugin with deep TypeScript integration? I'd imagine the TS language server and programmability of VSCode could allow you to do some amazing things with voice.
But, don’t you see the paradox there? If customers are happy with their mainframe why would they switch to Red Hat? And if they don’t want to switch why did IBM buy it?
> The overnight rate does not effect real long term rates, they are fucking inverted.

The federal funds rate greatly affects credit rates, that's why it's a primary instrument in financial policy.

> Pensions and retirement funds are only affected by the overnight rates in so much they use hold short term reserves as cash equivalents.

That's the direct effect, but because all other credit rates are affected, so are corporate bonds, which are a major component of pension fund allocations.

Why? Who says that prices aren't going to stay "permanently inflated"? I'm talking about downside risk, not a guaranteed and easily timed market selloff.

> All the forward looking indexes of inflation are down: commodity crb index, metals index (including gold), tips spreads - all down in the last six months.

Sure, if you look at commodities, there is no inflation. If you look at the CPI, there is no inflation. It depends on where you look. Gold is way up though, regardless of what the index says.

Sure, there are lots of ways you can make a motor that will mess that up. You can put in current-limiting fuses. Many motors cool themselves with fans, so they can dissipate lots of heat at speed and will just burn up if you try to add torque. You can make windings with insulation that breaks down at low voltage so the motor can't spin fast.

For big stationary motors that are wound for high voltage, the large number of turns means copper losses dominate and limit torque at all but the highest speeds. Nevertheless, those motors can be rewound for lower resistance, which will cause them to have more even tradeoffs at different voltages/currents. Rewinding a squirrel cage rotor is... a bit of a task, obviously, but the torque/voltage constants are always pretty interchangeable.

This is a subject that demands pragmatism. At risk of stating the obvious, the primary utility of incarceration is to prevent the convict from victimizing more innocents. It's a crude solution, but it is undeniably effective. It's very difficult to commit crimes against innocents in general society from a prison cell.

So, given that the pragmatic benefit of incarceration is protecting the innocent from being victimized, which presumably we all support, we should look if there are other less crude ways to achieve the same goal. I understand that Drug Court and similar programs have had some measurable success. But we can't forget there are very bad people who will treat diversion programs as a joke and an opportunity to continue to prey on others. Those individuals should be incarcerated, not to punish, but to prevent them from offending again. Rehabilitation would be wonderful and the opportunity should be offered, but some persons just don't want to be rehabilitated.
You are correct that "10" is a very special number, as long as you don't assume that it can only mean "ten".

In fact, every number base is base "10" when you interpret the "10" in that base.

Try it:

10 binary is two.

10 octal is eight.

10 hexadecimal is sixteen.

This is the very definition of a number base: it is the multiplier that you represent by appending "0" to a string of numeric characters in that base.

So that is where the fundamental and special nature of "10" comes from; it's not because it happens to mean "ten" in our customary number base.

Ten is nothing special, "10" is. "10" is simply the way you write N where N is whatever number base you're working in. It's just as special in every number base!

p.s. I'm sorry you were downvoted so heavily for asking an honest question. You can't be the only one who has wondered about this, and your question led to an interesting discussion.

Essentially, when spinning a black hole doesn't have a point at it's center but a ring (a point can't rotate).

Theoretically a black hole can spin faster than the speed of light since the event horizon is just space, not matter, and space can certainly exceed the speed of light (see expansion of the universe).

IIRC from relevant literature, the event horizon shrinks with increasing speed until it vanishes once the speed of light is exceeded and leaves behind a naked singularity; a black hole with no event horizon.

My story is not a million miles away from this. I was fobbed off - despite being hospitalised for a year in my teens - as being 'psychosomatic'.

They also do sleep management programmes. The Occupational Therapists are also really helpful, they run so-called 'rehabilitation programmes', which are basically all about working out how you can maximise your capabilities within your limits.
Best of luck.
