What exactly is your goal?

I think that the way to get math intuition is to learn a mathematical language, like Julia, and play around with it. Plot things. Change parameters.

Also learn a theorem prover. Maybe Agda or Coq or Lean.
How about UPS/FedEx? They certainly test new products on public roads and have no requirement to make public the resulting data.
This is cool and illegal. What makes me envy of the West (or countries other than Japan in general) is that this kind of attempt is somewhat condoned and praised, while in Japan there would be a vocal outcry and finger-pointing campaign (with some media exposure) to the point where the author would be forced to shut down the project. It's a blessing that people can pursue things like this, and it's a huge shame that Japan is such an anal when it comes to a marginally illegal activity in an open space. (I'm sure some people do it underground though.)
In many cases you can get by with the built-in Windows Defender. I’m not sure I trust the free AV vendors, seeing as everyone is jumping on the data-hoovering bandwagon.
Switching to different provider in the middle of $5M annual revenue from all-in-one web services provider to someone else will guarantee to cost fortune and does not guiarantee the benefits. IMHO.
> but depending on what district your child is in

Which just goes to show another way that the system in NYC is totally screwed up. We all live in the same city, under the same law, and pay the same tax rates, so why is the city carved up into tiny little zones that have such a big influence on which schools kids go to? We aren't talking about hour long bus rides here, but mere blocks.

Let's combine the catchment districts of 199 and 191 and send students to each randomly. Why not?
In regards to privacy.com in my opinion, it would be very, very unwise to trust any venture capital funded startup to protect your privacy. What happens when their investors decide they aren't monetizing fast enough. They are sitting on a lot a private data that other companies would love to get their hands on. What is the downside to them of selling your information, and making a big exit, that left the founders wealthy?

I would trust Apple a lot more since they already make money, and their reputation is something that they would be more likely to value more than a startup would be.
The Visa portal doesn't have very much information, can you explain what exactly I'm opting out of?
For a small buffet of abstract math topics (with lots of exposition putting ideas into historical context and an emphasis on building geometric intuition) try Courant & Robbins "What is Mathematics?". Covers number theory, number systems, geometry, topology, optimization, algebra, and knots, among others. You could also play around with branches of math like Knot and Braid Theory, which are interesting in their own right, give insight into lots of different branches of math, and many interesting problems are still accessible to lay people. Number theory is also like this

I think it can also be helpful to learn some things about the history of math and the historical context that different ideas came from. Here's a nice example covering complex numbers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T647CGsuOVU

Maybe tangential to your ends, but the Crest of the Peacock is a nice book on non-European mathematical traditions, which provides some insight into how the process of establishing and validating mathematical knowledge works in other cultures.

You might try books written by physicists or that are about mathematical physics (an author to look out for depending on your level is VI Arnold), since arguments will be of a more geometric or physical nature and appeal more to intuition. Stillwell is another author (not a physicist) that tends to write books that give context and geometric intuition

You might like playing around with Pinter & Humphreys for Algebra, or Jänich for Topology (fantastic book for building intuition around topology).
The two features I probably find most valuable with my Apple Watch are that it's usually easier look at my wrist to see if I'm getting an important call rather than having to dig into my pocket, jacket, or bag to find the phone, and then I wake up 1.5 hours earlier than my wife and the vibrating alarm means I'm much less disruptive.

Depends what you mean by "self driving car". IMO, building a fully self driving car requires artificial general intelligence, which is so hard I'm not sure humanity will ever achieve it. If we ever manage to create the kind of AI that fully self driving cars require, self driving cars will be one of the most boring and trivial things that is done with that AI.
It's funny to watch folks here rediscover nationalization. Unfortunately, regardless of the justice of that action, Nationalization is the fastest way around to not just cause capital flight, but (if you're a small country) those wealthy individuals who lose will also hire thugs/counter-revolutionaries to destroy those who tried to expraproiate them.

>I don't share this forecast. I think many private customers would view a machine without the ME and it's capabilities as a plus for a product when the marketing is done right

A lot of people say they value privacy, but when push comes to shove, they'll willingly trade privacy for convenience and cost. See: any facebook/instagram user, or iOS users who use google maps. iOS/Mac is marketed as the private phone/computer, but their market share shows how little consumers are willing to pay a premium for privacy (except in the US where iOS share is surprisingly high). You can try to convince consumers otherwise, but in truth, a management engine with backdoors/0days isn't really applicable to most consumers' threat model. The risks from social engineering attacks or unpatched software is a much greater threat.
Good luck, commander.

In 5-10yrs you'll be giving this advise to new wave of enthusiastic developers bought for lots of "equity" and little cash.

Use your FB salary and fly to Vegas. You'll have better return on investment than from average startup equity performance.
Basalt rebar, which is basically like epoxy fiberglass as used in boats, wind generator blades, etc. except basalt fibers and just really long. However, it can't be bent so you have to make joins at every corner and have to order all bent pieces ahead of time.
As you can read above, I'm not arguing for the mandatory disclosure of data.
This is one of the issues with machines vs. people. For an able-bodied person, like I am most of the time, sure I'm fine with being dropped off half a block away. The driver may ask me and I'll be "fine." If someone is using a walker--not so much.

I have to believe the last block or two problem will be a big issue with self-driving whenever it eventually arrives.
Looks cool but I just don't see this ever getting to grid scale unless it could be integrated into natural geography like a shear cliff face to give it much greater capacity and throw. Especially with days or weeks of storage like we'd need to cover 2-3 standard deviations of renewable output.

Online Practice for Harder JavaScript Concepts
Anyone have a good resource for working on harder JavaScript concepts to bone up on?
That fine-grained permission isn't handled by the user. You as a user don't employ CSP.

Rather, when requesting the permission from the OS, the developer has to supply a list of approved scopes and domains, and anything outside of that gets automatically blocked.

No involvement from the user.
Pirate KMS servers will go offline eventually right? Even if the legality isn’t a concern, the reliability and maintenance overhead is a problem. There are trust/malware concerns with client-side cracks as well.

5 stars isn't perfect. 5 stars is "there's nothing so bad that I want to take the time to complain about it."

Waymo employees, who are encouraged to be especially tough, give reviews that are 47% negative. That's likely closer to the metric for perfect.

We don't get perfection from human drivers either, of course. Though part of the promise of Waymo is much better performance than humans, which it apparently isn't close to yet. And this data is for relatively common cases: for the long tail, one-in-a-million case, the conventional wisdom is that humans would do better.
Math is big. A good place to start building your intuition may be by learning proofs. I‘m currently revisiting math by working through Chartrand [0]. As a non-mathematician, I would recommend this text as a foundation, and a possible bridge to advanced subjects.

I’ll read both of those articles later; they’re behind a paywall. I’m not an economist, and I’m open to being shown that I’m wrong, but I still think that if Italy were to default on its debt, there would only be two inevitable consequences: French and German banks would lose a lot of money, and Italy would have serious trouble borrowing at a reasonable rate in the future. I don’t see how anyone could call either of those outcomes “catastrophic” with a straight face. But I can easily see why those who stand to lose a lot of money would want the public to believe that a default would be catastrophic.
Fortunately America isn't Japan or even in large part much of Europe in that it has a long history of constant immigration from often very culturally disjoint places.

Countries like India, Nigeria, etc won't crest their growth for decades and in that time they will add another 1-2 billion people to the planet. Even after the cresting going below replacement will take another generation or two. So for at least the next hundred years there will be plenty of people in the world to import if you want to keep your population pyramid from changing.

That is all aside the fact that its well established now that demographics are shifting even in limited population growth scenarios. Urban migration continues because the availability of productive labor anywhere except at the highest concentrations of human capital continue to diminish. There is no more gold rush of raw resources to establish whole states over and all the industry we have for resource extraction is getting automated away.

In the next hundred years we should see the gradual centralization of human populations for purposes of survival. And as the available job pool shrinks, until the jump is made to a UBI / socialist / post-scarcity model in the future the increasing pressure basic necessities have on people will keep forcing the cost of labor to stay stagnant as it has been for 40 years and thus inflation will pressure people into living more efficiently.

Right now having a car and commuting 4 hours a day from a 3000 square foot house with a yard you need to maintain, where in part you need to pay for all the roads you traverse, all the infrastructure wired to your house, the services required (fire, medical, police) is insanely expensive and insanely inefficient compared to people living in condos, apartments, etc with public transit in a proper metro. Automation will keep gnawing away at median disposable income until the median is forced to forgo luxuries like split housing.

Those transitions and shifts will require legislative support, which given the fact those shifts will be made because of outdated state policy probably doesn't bode well for it being a smooth migration.
Sounds like you live in a bubble
And wiping out the top management and investors is exactly the incentive you need so companies seek to avoid forced bankruptcy.

Jobs, capital assets, and technology are preserved. I fail to see how this is a disadvantage. Volkswagon should have been hit with a $1 trillion dollar fine, and for every shareholder and executive to be completely wiped out.

I often see waymo vans near San Antonio and El Camino in Mountain View. It's kind of a nightmare drive for all parties. Curbside parking is allowed, there are no demarcated bike lanes, and much of the road is in suboptimal condition. There is often construction going along sidewalks and buildings, and uber dropoffs are common. You occasionally see cyclists, though I suspect most stick to a side street.

What I suspect people are complaining about is that Waymo doesn't do curbside dropoffs at locations with a parking lot -- not common biking routes. I bet Waymo doesn't have the data to know whether a curb is painted yellow, blue, or red, and just avoids them, while a Lyft driver would probably put on hazards and drop people off at yellow curbs and bus stops.
Easy for you to say when you don't live with chronic pain.

Morphine makes life bearable and allows me to work and contribute to society.

I would otherwise be in bed all day from the chronic pain.

Having chronic pain is like being under water. And pain relief is like coming up for air.

These laws have made it so I can literally only get a maximum of 90mg of morphine daily when I really need 200mg, what I used to be on.

It's terrible that those of us who actually use these drugs responsible are being screwed over, and average joes like yourself demonize opioids when they have medicinal value.

I will agree that synthetics are bad and I specifically ask for morphine versus Oxycodone or Hydrocodone. The synthetics are pretty much just a way to make more money and they are way more addictive.
In a way, he is right, yes - he would need to spend more resources. Probably on hiring someone with an eye for art. But how could he tell if that someone actually has an eye for art, if he doesn't have one himself...

I'm not sure he can develop an eye for art, however. He writes "To learn to do better art" - but it's not the doing that's the problem, but the seeing. How do you teach a sense of aesthetics? It seems to me more a matter of taste - you find a picture pleasing, or not. You may be able to learn why you find it pleasing, but the subjective experience itself is not a product of any kind of knowledge.
Worth noting she works for a conservative think tank, so I am not sure I am going to take her at face value for defending pharmaceutical corporations...
Here is what the critics don't get.

You are game devs. You are Jeff's peers. You are not representative of his customer base.

Did it ever occur to the critics that Jeff's customers may not actually value the quality of artwork in his games all that much? At least not as much as the storytelling.

Even more importantly is staying consistent with what fans expect. It is called "branding", geniuses. If Jeff all of a sudden released a game with an artsy fartsy style, he'd be gambling his future. He might end up alienating his existing customer base by not giving them what they've come to expect, and his experiment may not work for acquiring new customers.

I am sick of armchair critics. Jeff has been doing this for a long time, and longer than all of these know-it-alls. Your opinions mean nothing. His repeated success does.
Hard to believe anyone would red-flag PHP on a resume. I’ve been doing “serious” work with PHP since version 1, if by serious you mean getting paid well by companies that make money. Programming skill and your value as a programmer have very little to do with languages.

I continue to get plenty of PHP work, more than I can handle, both with legacy applications and new development. Lots of potential customers out there.
Yes you make a good point about collateral damage affecting workers. Perhaps there could be a ‘death row’ lasting 5 years so workers can make a soft-landing.

Fines aren’t going to work, I think that is pretty clear, as many others have said. They are very much an instrument of ‘make an example of ‘em’ aren’t they?

I bet that when a large bank thinks about their ‘worst case scenario’, they are thinking about Lehman Brothers, not a mega fine. Being a senior executive in a company that got corp-deathed is surely career ending.

> Both indicate a request rather than talking about actual physical ability to perform the action.

That's why I said I didn't think it was incorrect, but merely ambiguous. The use of "could" could also be interpreted as talking about the physical ability to perform the action. That was precisely how mburns seemed to have interpreted it. My comment was merely trying to clarify your explanation with a simpler version that tried to eliminate the ambiguity that was probably the source of the confusion.

I got an upvote for that comment. Maybe it was them and it did work.

> "It could be great if this could be done..."

That sounds like one wouldn't be sure if it would be great or not. I don't think anyone meant or interpreted that.

This guy is great, he found a niche full of customers and became the expert. I wish more startups would do this.

With regards to Tesla, it is always interesting to me to see how as companies grow, they become more political, less effective and generally suck more. All the good people, like this guy, get pushed out or leave on their own.

Makes me generally not want to build or work for a large company ever again.

I honestly think that the new tab/news/spam page in IE/Edge is (and has been, forever) the single biggest factor driving people to Chrome and Firefox. Every time you open it you’re greeted with all this complete junk, making the whole experience stuttering and slowing down your flow. I dread having to open IE on systems with no alternative just because it’s always so bad. Edge might actually be pretty good, but I will never know it because the initial experience is just so bad.
Caves would be a step up from tent cities, and we grunt at each other these days in 140 characters or less--even our kings!

People follow their GPS systems off of bridges into lakes, our ancestors could navigate by the stars. Our bards earn their fame via marketing, and sing their songs using autotune, the bards of old memorized huge corpuses and sang them live. Our ancestors built the Great Wall of China, the U.S. struggles to build the Great Chain-Link Fence. Our academics hack p-values and they publish their work behind for-profit paywalls. When Archimedes discovered how to measure volumes of irregular objects, he ran naked through the streets shouting "Eureka!" When was the last time anyone at the Large Hadron Collider did that?

Our self-help books are generally not worth the paper they're written on. They're written by charlatans and marketed by professional marketers. None of them will be remembered fifty years from now. Ancient self-help books like the Gospels, the Tao Te Ching, the Proverbs of Solomon, these stand the test of time and help countless people every day. They are timeless and evergreen. They'll continue helping people a thousand years from now.

> It doesn't have its own curriculum, except the citywide program, where they just tackle material a year earlier than usual.

What's wrong with just being a full-year ahead? If the core curriculum is essential, something like a reasonable claim, then not skipping any of it would follow. Either additional lessons would be needed at extra cost or it could be sped up. They chose sped up. Very common for students outside NY who excel at, say, math.

> And as we all know, the purpose of a system is what it does.

A lot of early adopters were probably worried that Tesla would go out of business and they wouldn't be able to get parts. Tesla is still in business and there still aren't parts.

Hopefully enough of the current Tesla models will end up on the road to make it profitable for aftermarket suppliers to make some parts. So far it doesn't seem like that is happening at very much scale.
