Work:

Laptop model: Dell Precision M3520

CPU: i7 7820HQ 2.9GHz

RAM: 32GB DDR4 (upgradeable)

Screen: 15" 1920x1080 matte

Comments: If you want something fast to get work done on, I cannot fault this machine. The keyboard is great, the chassis is a good size, shape and weight (I like "traditional" laptop designs), screen is very readable, touchpad works well, hardware is expandable (HDD, SSD, RAM and wifi card), has lots of ports (3x USB3 A, HDMI, Thunderbolt 3 USB-C, ethernet, even has a VGA port!). Battery life on the Intel GPU is 4-5 hours, which is good for the power it packs, and drastically lower on the nVidia Quadro card (I keep it set on the Intel since I don't need graphics performance). I run Ubuntu 18.04 on it with the Cinnamon desktop environment. I use almost every feature of this laptop on a daily basis. The only thing I dislike is the pointing stick, which is oversensitive and not adjustable, so I ignore it.

Personal:

Laptop model: Clevo P641RE

CPU: i7 6700HQ 2.6GHz

RAM: 16GB DDR4 (upgradeable)

Screen: 14" 1920x1080 matte

Comments: powerful, compact and extremely expandable, but perhaps too far down the 'power is everything' route. Battery lasts 1 hour on the nVidia Geforce 970m GPU even at idle, and 2 days in sleep mode. Doesn't work on planes (fires up and clicks off, even with the battery charged). 4x USB3.0 ports, HDMI, ethernet, 2x DisplayPort. Awful keyboard (requires very firm presses), passable trackpad. Good screen. Spec'd to be powerful enough to last me ~5 years. Also runs Ubuntu 18.04 with Cinnamon. Has a SATA SSD for primary and smaller NVMe disk for Steam. 10/10 performance, 5/10 usability.

Laptop model: MacBook Pro Retina 2014 15"

CPU: i7 4870HQ 2.5GHz

RAM: 16GB DDR3 (soldered)

Screen: Retina 15" glossy (2880x1800)

Comments: Extremely portable, sturdy and usable. Great keyboard, touchpad and extremely nice screen. Fantastic battery life for its age. Decent ports (2 USB3.0, HDMI, 2 Thunderbolt 2). Lightweight, portable and fast. Has MagSafe power. Gets very hot in use and the metal case is not suitable as a laptop. MacOS GPU switching works very well. Runs Mac OS 10.14. Crippled by Mac OS restrictions and inability to upgrade parts (RAM, SSD is proprietary, battery is glued in) plus limited expansion (nobody got behind Thunderbolt 2, did they?). Probably Apple's most balanced and usable offering ever.
Great references and description of the field. If anyone wants to submit a pull request to the Dumbdown grammar, I would love one that adds links to all the great languages in this space, like markdown and asciidoc. Something like:

Human's have many basic goals that are very dangerous when isolated in that way. It seems to me that nature didn't care (and of course, can't care) if it was dangerous at all when coming up with intelligence. Maybe we shouldn't either if we want to succeed with replicating it.

Worrying about some apocalypse seems counterproductive to me.
I would never side with the position as stated. But I have only weird and unsatisfying explanations of how that's compatible with supporting a government that sometimes fights wars or courts that sometimes convict innocents. That's arguably why Stalinism worked - if you're motivated to, you can force yourself into a perspective where the purges are just a bit of malfunctioning in the justice system.
Its likely not deleted in backups is my suspicion. I dont know what policies some companies have in regards to backups.

Also some companies always had the option for years.

One good test might be to create Facebook and instagram accounts, then upload images, save direct links to those images. Delete the accounts and see.... If the links work after clearing cache / a few days / weeks / months... Then yeah they just keep your data but detach it from friends and your email / password.
If you're referring only to the Frank Herbert books, then having read them through twice let me offer a resounding YES. They stay really solid throughout, arguably the weakest chapter of the whole series is the second, "Dune Messiah."

You can skip everything by Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson.
Lenovo X250 with 16GB RAM. Running Xubuntu 18.04. Getting flaky - I think I need to reseat the touchpad connector - and the battery's worn out and only holds a charge for 20-30 minutes. But it's been good enough to live on for the past while.

It's a work laptop, and I have an X390 with 32GB on order to replace it ... which might arrive one day!

Increasingly fond of my Samsung Tab A 2016 as a book reader, very good for comics.
I used gphoto2 circa 5 years ago in order to capture photos from an automated photography rig. The library was great and I was able to control the timing well enough to use with a flash (single flash for multiple cameras)

As another comment has pointed out, the flaw was the firmware on the cameras. Canon 60D and 600D were the two models I was using and they were so lible to freezing (i.e. stop responding on USB or to button presses on the camera) that I had to set up a relay on the tethered power supply to be able to hard reset them from time-to-time. I'm 100% sure libgphoto2 wasn't to blame because I also used a tethered capture tool from Canon on windows and that also suffered from the same symptoms.

Great library though and great maintainers!
LOL are you really asking if a drug-free (also actually free money-wise), unpatentable treatment is making its way to mainstream treatment protocols?
200HP is considerably higher than the average power output of most European cars.

Most small hatchbacks will be producing somewhere between 90HP and 170HP. Estates and wagons from 190HP to 250HP and SUVs somewhere similar.

Laptop model: Thinkpad X1 Yoga (2nd Gen / 2017)

CPU: i7-7600U

RAM: 16 GB

Screen: 2560x1440 14" OLED touchscreen

Personal comments: I usually work on a desktop but I use this when I'm roaming. I run Archlinux on it. I prefer black backgrounds and love the way they look on OLED, very easy on the eyes, especially at night. I did use it docked in tent mode with two external monitors via a thunderbolt dock for several months while I was in need of a desktop upgrade and it kept up with my workload (mostly docker containers).
Redmi TV 70” – Redmi’s First TV Debut
Fare collection in London is almost frictionless. Almost all public transport can be paid for with contactless debit/credit or prepaid cards. Drivers have no requirement to verify fares and all stations have self-service terminals.

Although the administration cost is not zero, it is almost certainly negligible enough that moving to a taxpayer funded model would increase these costs. This is particularly true given that transport budgets are operated at the regional level and would require the introduction of new regional taxes rather than simply relying on exiting tax revenue. (The politics of passing any new tax legislation would be a monumental hurdle in the first instance).

Then there is the question of whether a broad tax is more equitable then the current model. I fail to see how this could be the case given the current system retains the price signal and through a system of concessions ensures that those who most benefit from the provision (e.g. professional working in the inner city) contribute the most and effectively subsidise fares for the rest of society.

I believe that the messages are accurate but they’re also incredibly misleading.

I just did a search for nearby rooms for the end of September 2020. It shows me a bunch of listings with a bright red “Only 1 left!” As far as I can tell, these are Airbnb style listings where the property is really just a single apartment. The message is technically correct (there is only one left) but incredibly misleading (there’s only one to even be available at all, it’s not because of high demand).

Every listing I checked also shows me “Lowest price today!” Obviously that’s because the price has remained constant. In fact, I’m likely the first person today to check these particular dates at all. The claim is technically correct, but easily creates the impression that you’ve caught a price decrease and that it’s likely to go back up soon.

I didn’t see it in this search, but I’ve seen many times before where sites will say something like “5 rooms left for this date” and “12 people booked this today.” They mean 12 people booked this hotel in general today, but it’s easily interpreted as 12 people booked the dates you’re looking at where there’s only 5 left, so you’d better grab it now.

It’s misleading and they know it’s misleading. That is lying even if the statements are technically correct. After all, lying is about intent; making a false statement sincerely is not a lie, and making a true statement with the intent to deceive is.
It's the more recent sequel that's being tested here.

Major League Baseball (MLB) | New York City (NYC) | Computer Vision Engineer | Full Time

https://grnh.se/8587dbba1

We’re looking for an expert in Machine Learning and/or Computer Vision to create the code powering baseball experiences . The Baseball Data team is tasked with analyzing data captured on major league fields. With the launch of Statcast in 2015, MLB began capturing ball and player movements for each and every play. This role will involve combining our various data sources with video in near real-time to further our understanding of what is happening on the field. Potential projects involve analyzing limb movements of players, tracking the ball and player as they move across the diamond, detecting fielder shifts, scene detection and combing tracking data with LIDAR scans to validate the system.

Core Responsibilities:

* Develop models for detecting elements in video, image, audio and data

* Brainstorm, discuss, and drive new advanced technology solutions for MLBAM products

* Build scalable deep learning algorithms

* Influence the innovation of products used by millions of users worldwide

* Present and explain complex models to non-technical stakeholders
This happened to Intel with Athlon and Opteron back in the early 2000s. Intel came back swinging pretty fast. They might this time too. In any case the consumer wins. Intel needed a swift kick in the butt.

I think Hadoop lead the big data space for a long time. It was just that better solutions like Spark arrived which sort of made us move from it. On another note, there are still remnants of Hadoop. My company still uses Hive for example.

In my opinion: Yes!

Here's the advice I give to people about the entire Dune series:

Read Dune. If you don't like it, stop.

Read Dune Messiah. If you don't like it, stop.

Read Children of Dune. If you liked Messiah you'll probably like this as well.

Read God Emperor of Dune. This one stands alone. Lots of people hate it. Whether you like it or not, don't stop.

Read Heretics of Dune. If you don't like it, stop.

Read Chapterhouse: Dune. Weep that it's over.

In my experience, people who like Dune generally will enjoy at least through Children of Dune. Anyone who enjoys God Emperor of Dune is insane (maybe why it might be my favorite).

Regarding the other Dune books, read them out of curiosity if you like, but they're not really Dune books despite being in that universe. I've read about seven of them out of optimism and hope but didn't enjoy them at all. Even Sandworms of Dune which is ostensibly based on Frank Herbert's notes for Dune 7 wasn't enjoyable to me, although it was least bad.
In regards to posts you get an hour to edit / delete. Otherwise it stays once it gets replies just to keep history of conversations.

In regards to deleting accounts that is a good question above my responsibilities as a fellow user to answer. I would love to hear from mods about it. It certainly would suck if we see old convos lose context / content over the years.
Laptop model: Lenovo ThinkPad X250

CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-5200U Processor (3M Cache, Up to 2.70 GHz)

RAM: 8GB

Screen: 12.5" matte* FHD ( 00HN899 I believe)

Personal comments: LTE replaced with 128GB SSD + 1 TB HDD. Debian 10, everything happy. Had to change both batteries since having it (~3 years). Battery life could be better, but I gave up tuning for it. New keyboards, ended up loving it. The low profile TrackPoint is much worse, than the old ones (compared to X200, T400, X60s). Quiet, but can get a bit warm. Tiny enough, still has space for a full 2.5" drive.

* note that modern "matte" is not oldschool matte.

Subpoena their records for a lawsuit and see what they really have. My prediction is that at major tech companies (Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc) your data is actually deleted when you say "delete" while startups tend to start with soft deletions (less worried about being sued).
"You're getting 24.83% more performance while costing 73.29% less."

This is a terrible performance summary. Let's try to normalize it in terms of Geekbench points / $:

Intel = 155050 / $52044 = 2.97 / $
AMD = 193554 / $13011 = 14.88 / $

AMD has a 5x advantage on the price of the CPU alone, not factoring in the price of the motherboard and other components (this is a 4 socket Intel motherboard vs. a dual socket AMD).

5X. That's incredible.

From what I understand cancer grows based on what it feeds on. It can eat sugar, hormones, and maybe other stuff. Some types of cancer can be killed by simply removing it's source of food.

I've had a lot of friends/relatives with cancer lately. Most recently I had a friend diagnosed with breast cancer and the treatment was simply to reduce the amount of estrogen in her system. She's doing well. They've done some preventative radiation but other than that not much of anything else.
Isn't the abstract supposed to be the punchline?

Direct links probably end up in their caches. If they stop being visited then you're fine and they'll be evicted, but intentionally evicting data that's been deleted is one of the hardest parts of implementing full deletion.
Automate it can bring bugs. Automating it can make it hack-able. If you can mail, its enough, gives you some thinking time to.
> Otherwise it does not matter how many columns you select, because you will have to read all the columns for every row anyway.

It does matter. An index can actually contain a cache of values for some columns. This is done with INCLUDE statement.

CREATE INDEX idx
ON book ( author_id )
INCLUDE ( book_title )

This select will use only index:

select author_id, book_title
from books
where author_id = 123

This select will use index, and then have to follow and fetch data out of rows:

select *
from books
where author_id = 123

Have you gotten your company past the first stage or two to where it's profitable? Have you been thinking about starting to collect data and optimize? Then let's discuss!

I will instrument your software to produce the necessary metrics and data points, store them, analyze them, view them on dashboards, and best of all: optimize and grow! Both now and down the road.

Another common scenario I can help you with: have you created a monster Excel spreadsheet fed by your database? I can replace it with dashboards that show the same information in a much more useful format so that you won't have to squint at that clunky spreadsheet anymore!

Money is like language. It's impossible to deprive a group of humans of it, because it's in our nature to immediately invent it if we don't have it. What else is like this?
We think alike!

> such that the resulting document could be directly narrated or dictated, without resorting to too many (if any) "special" words for punctuation.

This is a design test I put every new Tree Language through. The early languages still had some special punctuation, like # for comment. Once syntax highlighting and autocomplete was good, I realized we should do away with all such instances, in most cases. It's made them much more of a joy to use.

> Currently, screen-readers do not cope well with modern web pages, and can you imagine trying to dictate HTML to a speech-to-text based editor?

Agreed! I had a friend who is blind who I spent a couple days with years ago observing how he used his machine. It was both incredibly complicated and also amazing (I couldn't believe how fast he had the computer speak to him and how he was able to understand anything). I hadn't thought about that use case for Tree Notation languages until your comment just now. Thanks for sharing it. Perhaps there is something that could be done in that domain. Let me know if there are ways we could help.
That company is basically built on deception.
What latency is it measuring exactly?
To be fair, there is no "cure" for any disease. Either you heal from it or you don't. So, any net gain could be considered a "cure" from a layman's perspective.
