depending on how plastic the soil, replacing it with the road base doesn't stop deformation just slows it down. If the base material is heavier than the native material it will speed the whole thing up.

Then you get into the territory of lightweight fills and it gets really expensive very quickly even beyond basic roadbuilding.

And it will not destroy other non millennials ? Total click bet article just talking about same thing that we have lots of debt and next crisis will be tragic and probably bigger than last time. So what ? We have already been through great depression and now people have way more information to deal with this. In defense to Millennials , they are under lots of debt but they are also open to staying at home with parents, working through multiple jobs, get higher education for better jobs so you know what it will all be fine.
I'm talking about the economics of powering cars with renewable energy rather than oil:
http://ieefa.org/bnp-paribas-oil-losing-the-economic-battle-...

Whether the panels themselves are a commodity doesn't matter -- it may actually be advantageous by lowering the capital cost required for installation. The user wants to buy the whole experience -- the panels, with a home battery to store and serve as a backup maybe, and a car all controlled through one app.

Right now you can go on Tesla.com and in five minutes you can order a Tesla for lease at $399 / month and rent a solar system for your roof at $50 a month to fuel the car. You're completely off the grid, prepared for the apocalypse, and no polluting the air. That's very compelling.
You (1) use binfmt_misc to tell the kernel to use `qemu-ARCHITECTURE` to run binaries for that architecture, then (2) make sure you also have all of the libraries that the binary is linked against, then that binary executable should just run seamlessly.

Now, if your ARM binary was compiled to look for libc at /lib/libc.so, but /lib/libc.so is the host's x86 libc, then that obviously won't work; and the easiest way to get the libraries all sorted out is to use a chroot with OS install of the target architecture. If you do go the chroot route, you need to make sure that `qemu-ARCHITECTURE` is statically linked, because it won't have access to the x86 libraries it needs to run after the chroot(2) call happens (which is why most normally-dynamically-linked distros have a "qemu-user-static" package in addition to their normal "qemu-user" package).

But with a multilib scheme like Debian's, where all libraries get installed to /lib/ARCHITECTURE-TRIPLET/ instead of /lib/, then it should be possible to install all of the appropriate target libraries on the host system without a chroot! You "should" just need to configure APT to let you install packages built for that architecture. (I haven't actually tried this; I'm not a Debian user, but I am envious of their multilib).

What about using plastic or some flexibly epoxy. Would it have some adverse effect or is there a cost issue?
Quite agreed. My family bakes all of our own bread. In fact, the kids don't even like store-bought bread unless it comes from some fancy bakery. One of them has gotten into baking.

In addition to what you say, my advice is: Don't be afraid of it, just give it a try with realistic expectations. Start with something easy. Rolls and breadsticks are quite forgiving, if for no other reason than that they're usually gone before anybody can complain. ;-) Virtually any "failure" of bread can be redeemed by making toast, french toast, croutons, dipping in olive oil, etc. White is easier than grains, but you can work more grains in as you gain confidence.

Nice shapely loaves that I can make into sandwiches are the pinnacle for me, because I love my sandwiches.

When considering recipes, look at the timing of the steps. A recipe that fits with your schedule is more likely to be successful in the long run.

> Isn't it crazy that that hasn't yet been brought up?

I can guarantee you, as an American, that the topic of the electoral college has in fact been brought up. Many, many, many times. Here is a massive thread on HN within the past week on the subject: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20760649
This is refreshing actually. I used to be mormon and am now 95% agnostic (I don't believe in deity being required for an afterlife, but I believe there's a 5-10% chance of something else post-death).

I actually had given up on the idea of children as we had fertility issues, and I figured I was okay enough without them, but my wife was adamant so we spent everything we had to get our two little boys. Literally I'm 40 with no retirement, but I have two boys 2 and 8 months old.

Before I was kind of iffy on children, but I would not trade being a dad for anything... It's an amazing experience and has opened my heart, treated a lot of depression issues, and helped me become a better person overall. There is love and beauty and inspiration without deity and religion. I'm in awe of the universe and science and all we know about it but all we still don't.

It just makes me appreciate the fact more that someday I'll die, makes me want to appreciate every moment because as far as we know we're the only intelligent species, and I'm lucky enough to be born here in this day with the technology we have, have a family I adore.

As for patriotism, I used to be patriotic back around 2001 when everyone was 'coming together' because 9/11. But I lost that after I got more and more in politics and see only those with big business interests at heart every get anywhere. Issues that affect the masses don't matter to anyone on top. America's done some horrible things like nuking and poisoning their own citizens and covering it all up.

My wife's lost two grandparents to downwinder's which is basically cancer caused by being too close to nuclear fallout. Back in the 50's they just were asked to come out and bring their families and have a picnic and watch the bombs fall.

The idea of America a democratic nation with we the people for the people as it's motto would be amazing, but that hasn't happened yet, and I don't see it happening for a very long time.

This is a classic example of banning the symptom in lieu of curing the cold.

I volunteer in New York's K-5 public schools as a 1-on-1 tutor for children a bit behind their grade level on reading. These are smart kids in crowded classrooms with insufficient resources addressing their needs. Needs like mild hyperactivity, hunger, needing someone to talk to about the financial stress they know their parents are under, lacking a home internet connection, et cetera. These kids are also concentrated around black and Hispanic communities.

These are solvable problems. Classrooms could be made less crowded. Funding could be increased. The small number of bad teachers could finally be held accountable. School lunch expanded. Mental health resources provided to students. Subsidies for households with young children at home.

But instead we get treated to a fight on racial battle lines from a mayor who thinks he's running for President.
Intelligent Systems seems to have a good head on their shoulders for code reuse. Enough so that I would suspect that their Fire Emblem and Advance Wars series—when they were releasing concurrently—were the same engine underneath.

(Side-note: I've always wondered how the mini-games in IS's WarioWare series work—whether each game is entirely custom code, or whether they've come up with some sort of DSL for specifying reflex games. If the latter, I would bet that that has a decent genealogy too.)
Is it just me or does this read like copypasta from a Chinese -> English translated press release?

From TFA:

In a similar vein, Huawei has launched MindSpore, a development framework for AI applications in all scenarios. The framework aims to help with three goals: easy development, efficient execution and adaptable to all scenarios. In other words, the framework should aid to train models at the lowest cost and time, with the highest performance per watt, for all use cases.

Another key design point of MindSpore is privacy. The company says that MindSpore doesn’t process the data itself, but instead “deals with gradient and model information” that has already been processed.
That would be the worst if it happened.

I don’t think that Cambridge Analytica had the ability to do that.
I've been learning on Duolingo and Richardson's book. It really is simply so elegant. Easy to learn, easy to read, easy to understand, easy to speak. It just sounds cool to me as well.

This is only true in the limited case where you never have to share your code with anyone. If you want to share it, setting it up so others can get going without having to figure out which packages are missing is necessary. In that case, you should probably use that same tool yourself to make sure that your environment works the same as you expect others to use it.

Ring arrays are so useful it would be unheard of if those games did did not use them, regardless if it is ES/SNES "Object Attribute Memory" or something equivalent. Every game today and then "should" have one or more ring array in them, but sometimes a junior dev or one in a crunch will use a linked list in rare situations. A notable example is when Starcraft used a linked list that caused a difficult to reproduce bug when certain parts of the code were threaded. http://www.codeofhonor.com/blog/tough-times-on-the-road-to-s...

So, they go from getting a reduced amount each year to getting nothing each year with the expectation of a larger lump sum at some indeterminate point the future. I'm not sure that's a good deal in a housing market where turnover is low, and I don't see anything in a simple tax lien plan that is going to drive increased turnover.
Instead of debating a bad book or whether meat is good or bad for you which I don't know enough about would you like to talk about the ethics? I eat meat myself.

Where do you draw the line as far as ethical behavior towards animals? I think even most who eat meat don't think things need suffer right? After you admit animals CAN suffer and that such suffering ought to be minimized the logical minimum suffering is not raising animals for food save to the degree that is required for the health of human beings. Essentially balancing the 2 factors.

I'm personally hoping that particularly knot can be untangled by artificial meat. If we can ultimately cheaply produce fake meat that is identical insofar as utility there remains zero reason at that point to justify killing animals.

Do you disagree?
The landmark is how little they paid.

IMO, the fine is appropriate because J&J was an inappropriate scapegoat in the first place — the damage they did is nothing compared to Purdue, for example.
Why would you pass a pointer (or the contents it points to) to the guts of a Java array? Neanderhal does not require Java arrays (although it supports transfer to/from arrays for convenience).

Please try Neanderthal; there are lots of getting starting resources. You can benchmark it yourself (very easy to do in Clojure) and see...

I assure you that the only copy you would need is the same one you need in C, C++, or any language: the one from the source of your data (IO such as database, network, scv string etc). And even this is not required if you initialize the vectors randomly (which is often the case).
N64 only supported up to 240p, or in rare cases, 480i, which is basically the same thing computationally. Displaying on higher resolution just involves scaling (or up-sampling, but at that kind of resolution jump scaling is probably more appropriate).

I haven't tested N64 games on a RPi personally, but I imagine it would have no trouble with it, and there seem to be several retro-gaming projects that involve N64 games and use the Rpi.
Very wrong I'd say. I was able to read more at 3 weeks than I could with 3 years of Spanish. Spanish might be easier than Latin, but verb conjugations and irregularities in the grammar is no joke. Esperanto gives you a detour around all of that.

We had better leaders in the past... We've moved the post too far right.

Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower even from different parties I think all of them were in support of more support for the people, and I'm pretty sure Eisenhower and Roosevelt at least were both for universal healthcare for all, too bad they didn't push for it back then and get it. We wouldn't be having all the fights about healthcare we have today.
How could anyone possibly support this policy?
Oh I can answer that! Because J&J would isolate this responsibility into a subsidiary and spin it off, it may be difficult to do and maaaaybe some of the companies spinning these subsidiaries off would get dragged through the mud - but spinning liabilities off into separate companies is a time honored tradition[1].

There is a legal/political artifact in this case: Intellectual property.

If IP didn't exist, then this wouldn't be good news, because we would have always had a competitive market in the first place, we wouldn't have proprietary ISAs.

This trade war just happens to interact with that artifact in a positive way: fostering competition in spite of IP.

Years ago read a music exec claim that 'republishing' content should re-extend copyright.
As far as I know, Romney's GOTV platform didn't scrape posts by people's Facebook friends without those friends' knowledge or consent in order to target their GOTV efforts, which is the part of Obama's 2012 campaign that is comparable to what Cambridge Analytica got in hot water for. Publications like the New York Times ran gushing articles about how brilliant Obama's team was for coming up with this and how marketers needed to learn from them.

I think you're probably reversing cause and effect. The distrust of large tech companies is the result of people being upset about Republicans being the ones who're using them to win elections now, not the cause. (Of course, the Cambridge Analytica data in question wasn't even used by Trump's campaign, whereas the Obama campaign did use questionably scraped Facebook data, but little details like that don't matter...)
> How could it be good for a corporation to hire psychologists to manipulate customers into spending more time on their product?

The effort was precisely to offer a different objective than time spent on the site, that is a reasonable first approximation for usability and relevance, but not a good self-referential objective. There is evidence that mirroring content has a positive psychological impact.

I, in fact, do suggest C++ as the right answer, where it is not precluded for practical or silly reasons.

It is generally quite easy to compile a C program with a C++ compiler, and then the sky's the limit on code improvements. I recommend it, and suggest starting with improvements to memory safety.

There is really no excuse for writing a new C program anymore.

> Beyond Meat isn't going to do much for the in terms of transitioning people who primarily eat cheaper meats.

That's not really their target market at the moment though. They are aiming their product at 'vegan-curious' people. People who are not adverse to eating more vegetarian products, frequently want to because of environmental/animal welfare reasons, but don't want to cos they like the taste of meat.

Also, it's still very early days though - Beyond Meat can barely keep up with demand and haven't optimised their production at all. I see no reason their price curve wouldn't follow the traditional curve of almost any product where the early premium prices drop as production process matures and output ramps up.
Meat has been highly produced because the gov’t of Nixon’s era and today’s era has been buying up tons of bushels of grain(1). The gov’t bought grain to help support & subsidize farmers and ranchers. Grain is convenient to offload as cattle feed. Cheap cattle feed encourages raising cattle. Cow farts contribute over 40% of the world’s methane(2). Methane contributes 34 times more towards global warming per unit than carbon dioxide.

Thus if we want to tackle climate change, we should rethink our Cold War era grain subsidies and ultimately reduce our dependence on cattle.

"Then I suppose "science" is no longer about what can be proved, but what the most number of people believe?"

You're talking about it as an observer outside of science looking in. Interestingly though even within the framework of science this is true. Nothing in science can be proven. Experimental methods establish correlations not proof. If you get advanced you actually can technically establish causation to a statistical degree but this is not a proof.

From the outside world looking in... The singular religious assumption you have to make about the world to believe in science is you have to believe in probability theory. You have to believe that the foundations of logic and the axioms of probability apply to the real world in order to believe in science. That is the most religious part of science.
Good to hear (:
make everyone dumb, rather than advance in fixing the real issues. typical leftist attitude. god forbid geniuses among us.
>If someone tells you, without further qualification (as is nearly always the case for TV and newspaper pundits), that a tariff of x% will cause a price change of y%, they are either incompetent or they are lying to your face in order to advance a hidden agenda.

That's unfair. First of all, their interviewer probably demanded that they give a quotable figure, because the readers want some quick concrete takeaways and not a lesson in economics and uncertainty. And just because they didn't give further qualification (or it didn't make it into the quote) doesn't mean they didn't consider all of those things. I think you risk being guilty of making disingenuous assumptions about them in the same way that you're accusing them of making disingenuous assumptions about economics.

>The improper speculation about the consequences of current tariffs are precisely what give Trump and his cabinet the intellectual cover to make outlandish claims like "our tariffs are being paid for by China."

They certainly are being paid (in part) by China, and appear to be having the desired effect of shifting US supply chains away from China.

If they only hurt American businesses and consumers and didn't affect China at all, then China wouldn't be responding with retaliatory tariffs on American goods. And I presume you don't think that China's retaliatory tariffs only hurt the Chinese.

Yes, you're right (I would change my comment but missed the edit deadline)
It’s basically the case that there are no effective punishments for corporate entities. The argument has been made elsewhere for a corporate ‘death penalty’, an actual destruction of value, brand and IP and wholesale confiscation of assets. Obviously implementation would be an issue, but imagine if there was even a possibility J&J could be sentenced to ‘corp-death’ for its role in the opioid crisis. The share price wouldn’t be going up, that’s for sure.

Otherwise I think we’ll just keep being surprised by corporate amorality, over and over again.
Interesting analysis using comments/rider scores. 10% improvement over 6 months is actually pretty good, though. Even if that rate slows as trickier edge cases get handled, It still implies early 2020s for true driverless readiness in select locations. That's pretty much on track with overall predictions for the autonomous market.
