I think medicine is the one area where I think AI is/will have tangible results like this to augment (not replace) humans. So much information is hidden is these exams that a computerized pair of eyes could help sort through. And it doesn't need to be "pure AI" or anything resembling the singularity to have very good results.

I'm clearly contrasting these news with all the other stuff I hear about personal assistants and social media.

When clicking on this I assumed it would be about pervasive surveillance, but seems like it's yet another article about how it's a bummer that social media provides an alternative to establishment media.
I think it is reasonable to point out the hypocrisy. By the numbers, Obama was just as tough on our southern border.
German infrastructure is top-class, trains work quite well and bridges are not collapsing. May I ask where you got this from?

EDIT

Please don't turn this into a flame war. I am slightly worried about the effects of mainstream media, as I've seen these kind of posts on Reddit also.

People keep hearing about the low/inexistent economic growth of countries like Germany or Japan and start thinking that these countries are a deep mess. The reality is quite far from it.
The 1918 pandemic also arose in a world without air travel. The geographic extent of any similar disease would not be smaller, it would be much larger and spread much quicker.
We're talking about assembly of the Mac Pro not semiconductors. Presumably Apple chose Texas back in 2013 because they gave the biggest tax break, just like every other company.
One frustrating caveat of the ALB approach is there is a hard 1 MB limit on both the request and response size, while APIGW has a hard 6 MB limit.
I don't think kids should vape. I don't think vaping is 100% harmless. I don't vape or smoke. I also think that there is some contingent of people who are excessively worried about vaping and looking for problems that don't seem to exist. It doesn't help that there is conflation between cannabis and e cigs, and that (based on best evidence right now) the fake cannabis liquid is causing the handful severe lung infections.

I don't mind more regulation here, absolutely make sure it's safe and find a set of ingredients that cause the least amount of harm to humans. Why is vaping perceived as so dangerous? Compared with cigarettes its damn near harmless. I don't get it.
Bingo!

This is the one product Apple could build anywhere on the planet and still make a profit. Will probably run between 30 and 50k for configurations that most effects houses would want in any case, so the higher cost of production is no sweat off their backs.
The answer can be zero. We also own the printing presses. This could act as a general tax on the economy without a tax rate hike.
I received a Rocketbook as a gift and never managed to figure out what to do with it. I have a cheap document scanning app on my phone that's very fast and can share the results out to pretty much anywhere with a couple quick presses, and doesn't feel kinda non-native (janky, confidence-reducing) like the Rocketbook app is (or was, haven't tried it in like 8 or 9 months). The workflow of that app + any piece of paper lying around is nearly identical to that of the Rocketbook, but doesn't require both special paper and a special pen. I can even scan several pages in a row and make them one PDF, which is pretty close to what you can do with the Rocketbook (when it works).

I feel bad because I know it cost a little money, but I never managed to come up with a reason to use it beyond a few test scans the first day. Within a couple weeks I'd misplaced the pen anyway, still don't know where it ran off to, but I don't miss it. I just have no idea what it does for me over normal paper + scanner app. Circling the place to send it takes almost as long as "tap share, tap where to send it" on my scanner app, and is less flexible, and failed to work often enough that I didn't think I could trust it. Scans are at least as fast and for whatever reason come out much higher-quality on the non-Rocketbook app. The scanner app sends straight to whatever service I'm connecting to, no reliance on some 3rd party server for any of its functionality.

You can try checkerframework [1], which uses annotations to perform extra typechecking at compile time, including nullable/not-nullable checks.
Works properly altough it has a few issues: the biggest is that support is still stuck at java 8, and the framework is sometimes not smart enough to see that you already checked if a nullable field is null or not and you can safely use it.

This is contrarian advice, but I can imagine why it might work. Can anyone share more experience with celebrating before/after launches?
>This sounds like a hassle for anyone trying to use navigation systems.

That's a key feature. It creates probable cause to pull over a huge chunk of drivers and possibly (at the discretion of the cop/department) rake in some revenue while doing it. Screw the poors and their non-integrated GPS.

I'm sure someone will tell you it's about safety but if it didn't also please the pro-revenue crowd and the pro-control crowd it wouldn't get done. There's plenty of ways to be pro-safety that are better bang for your buck. This gets done because the other two groups like it too.

I was recently at a AWS company conference, run by AWS. Serverless was being pushed so hard, yet no one could explain exactly why it was superior. Note: we are a fortune 500 company that receives constant traffic.

Are there use cases? Absolutely. Does anyone really understand those use cases? Not really, from what I've seen.
Came to this thread hoping to find a fellow rock climber.

I've had a few finger injuries related to climbing but none of them disabling in any way (I had to go off climbing for a week or two once but typing was always ok).

I guess the fact that I used to play basketball a lot in my teen years has also helped strengthen my tendons. It's not fun when the ball hits the tip of a stretched finger bang on and your tendons are not up to par.

Rock on!

At least for widespread standardized tests that allow or require a calculator, the obvious solution would seem to be providing students with one at the beginning of the exam. In addition to preventing cheating with unauthorized programs when students bring their own, it ensures there's a level playing field for poorer students who might not be able to afford one. Add an extra $1 to the cost of the test if need be-- the calculators should last at least 100 tests or so, and they could probably get a volume discount anyway.
Well, (a) it's a hell of a lot faster than it has been for most of my life, and (b) it means that in my lifetime, a lot of the places I know & love will be seriously affected by - if not completely lost to - sea level rise.

You cannot buy Afterburner for a PC, but solutions like this exist in PC world for ages - hardware video encoders/decoders [0], not enough? FPGAs on PCIe are also here for ages [1,2]. Apple is great at reinventing the idea (and providing working ecosystem), but Afterburner is really nothing new.

People mention that ICE polices are Obama-era polices, because it shows something.

It shows that the people in US, are influenced, to a large degree by selective outrage.

Selective outrage, is not just a sign of intellectual dishonesty.

Selective outrage leads to selective justice, selective justice leads to unfair justice, and that leads to Orwellian state or dictatorship.

So showing the poison in selective outrage is totally appropriate.
What brand was it?
Especially when a officer on the street corner will do the job (and prevent a ton of other petty law violations) just as well without being Orwellian about it.

Edit : Do the down-voters care to explain how a networked camera system is somehow better or less orwellian than a human cop?

I don't know how collaboration is implicated, but regardless that's not the form of confrontation I'm talking about. It's confrontational because interrupters and Barkers (from the story) have to either be overpowered vocally, or asked specifically to allow for the thoughts of others ("Can I finish?").

never interrupting is a fundamentally standoffish way to interact

What does this mean?
> Is it hard to dig yourself out though?

It can be, depending on how complex your environment is and the availability of people that understand it. Chef doesn't make this easy by storing so much "state" (nodes, environment, databags, etc).

But at the end of the day, these are just scripts. You can reverse-engineer the environment and replicate in Ansible or what have you.

One red flag is, if this process is found to be too difficult(as opposed to just time-consuming), then you have a very incomplete understanding of your system. That's dangerous.

How many people do you think would want to take that train from city A to city B every week? Since most American households own cars, and most probably value the higher flexibility and lower cost that the car affords them, I'd be surprised if there was more demand than a few hundred train riders per week. Running frequent and convenient trains for such a low number of passengers would be prohibitely expensive.
It was mentioned in the QnA section of a talk posted somewhere in this comment section (probably https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcyQBup-Gto).

At least originally, it was because of the license.

Agreed. To expand on your point, I believe this is pretty close to exactly what Amazon did to build Aurora, which is probably the most exciting development I've seen as an engineering leader in the past decade. Suddenly, the one crucial, stateful component of my system that could ever present sharding issues at scale became something I could pay a premium to not have to think about (to a point -- believe it's still 64TB for Aurora).

What's extra cool about this for me is how it illustrates to me how far open source components that build on the Apache Kafka ecosystem have come, to the degree that each fairly complex component of relational databases that expose a full RDBMS system from the basic building block of a log have been fully developed (to some production capacity) in the Kafka ecosystem. That's amazing! What does this mean?

It means that you could theoretically (please don't hurt me) implement a relational DB backed by a twitter DB log, or a blockchain, or any other event log that you can't necessarily use traditionally as a WAL. It also introduces a lot of really interesting possibilities for data integration. Definitely has my mind reeling a bit.
One aspect of this that's usually pretty clear in these discussions is the huge chain of suppliers for anything that's available in China. If the US wants to tip the balance to the point that starts existing again in the US (and as efficient as it's in China today), Apple's subsidies could have a network effect that also benefits small US companies.

Being distributed within a single company's data centres is still centralisation.
So why don't we want to help ICE do their job? We can provide better living situations for people waiting for their case to be processed and better IT solutions to improve our ability to process cases.

Taking petty stabs at ICE (like making it harder for them to do CI/CD) seems pretty unhelpful.
It wasnt a tax. Deposits in euro countries were/are insured up to 100k. Those accounts were not affected, the bank bail in affected amounts beyond that

Efficient markets have never been about absolute fairness. There's no industry that has been built without the attempted participation of deep pocketed enterprises from earlier, related industries - adding machine companies (like IBM) naturally wanted to jump into computers.

The system we live under is capitalism. It's aims are to provide profits to those who invest their existing wealth in innovations. If those with wealth can't use it to gain more wealth, they have no incentive to use it.

The government steps in when a given enterprise meets the definition of monopoly - IE, actually prevent new entries into a field (Microsoft met this definition). Google and Facebook are unpopular but I'd say it's pretty clear they don't meet the definition of monopolies preventing entry into their industry (at least on the net, Android is another matter).
> Can you explain why producing eggs and cow milk is any less cruel than producing animals only for meat?

You're running wild with an assumption that isn't true. Of course it's just as cruel. I don't purchase dairy or eggs, and only consume eggs in restaurants on rare occasions. Really you're preaching to the choir here.

I used it as a DOS program well up into the late 90s on my HP200lx... One of the badass things about it, afaik, hasn't been reproduced in any CAS: the quasi-ncurses looking menu made it easy to use on limited hardware and you didn't have to waste time looking things up. I occasionally consider buying one of the TI calculators just to fool around with it again.

Judging from your comment you should probably be more concerned about your own well-being.
Seems like other people are allowed to make decisions based on others' actions.

It's been like that since before humans even existed, so I don't quite get the hand-wringing.
Seems like there are many options available that improve the accessibility of the TI-89 (and as a parent of a middle and a high-schooler I’ve been frustrated by this as much as the next parent):

- You can go to eBay - Here’s a used listing at $29 [1]

- You can go to Alibaba and purchase what is likely a knock-off at $20-$50 for a minimum order of 100 units (perhaps an arbitrage opportunity for an enterprising student? :) [2]

I also came across an interesting article that calls into question the ability of TI to copyright the keyboard layout which cites Lotus v. Borland and Oracle v. Google decisions [3]

It would be cool if you had a demo to show this off. That way you can add a lot more heft to all of your arguments about this subjects, and we can all learn something from it.
Car manufacturers are not really accurate metaphors as it is CBP and ICE themselves who are carrying out actions that many people strongly disagree with. Whereas a car company has no control over its customers

If Ford were separating children from their parents and imprisoning them in warehouses then I'm sure many people would stop buying Fords or doing business with them.

There have actually been campaigns against vehicle manufacturers because of who they sell to. I recall that JCB and Land Rover have had campaigns against them as they sell vehicles (mainly armoured) to the armies of countries with questionable human rights records.

Has anyone bought a new car recently? Many essentially have a center mounted full size tablet. Yes, police phone usage. But car newer car interfaces cause a lot of distraction on their own.
I'm a little curious how something like this works within the economic framework of a startup. How do you reconcile the inherently long-term nature of your business (I might need my stem cells in a decade or two) with the inherent instability of a startup (you might go out of business within 3 years)?
"The popular idea of cutting our emissions in half in 10 years only gives us a 50% chance of staying below 1.5C degrees, and the risk of setting off irreversible chain reactions beyond human control."

Where does this 50% come from? Is this number realistic?
Its much simpler than that. Decision making at a big company is layered. Anti-trust considerations is about as C-suite a concern as I can possibly think about. Operational leadership even VP is singing for their supper on a project by project basis (to gain status and move up the company ladder). So you get these things.

It's almost certainly a reflection of a culture who's motto was/maybe still is "move fast and break stuff." I think the idea of existential consequences for actions is relatively new one for FB (and to a lesser extent Google) and your seeing a company not move fast enough and a CEO who is probably a little bit underarmed when it comes to really understanding the stakes of certain types of public perception.
The instructions are at the side (at least for me - Firefox mobile ;) )
There's so much opportunity in this market to end up better than smoking. First and foremost, by making reduced or no nicotine the standard.

Juul could have taken a play from the soda manufactures, selling people flavored water (without the hfcs).

I believe vaping is safer (and more depending on the carrier compound) but we know nicotine will still have its troubles.
Because vast majority of people aren't aware of the financial health of the companies they purchase from.
> was first released in 2004 for around $120 ... still sells for nearly the same price [$102.99]... One analyst placed the cost to produce a TI-84 Plus at around $15-20, meaning TI sells it for a profit margin of nearly 50% — far above the electronics industry’s average margin of 6.7%.

Wouldn't that be a 81% - 85% margin? (gross profit / revenue)

Edit: I finally got through the paywalled article they were quoting. It says "over 50%". Retail distributors take a margin, so that is probably where the uncertainty is coming from.

Hold your phone to use it for contactless payment at Mcdonalds and they can fine you. I shit you not. Revenue raising is most definitely what it is.
I will. I think you are missing quite a bit of research on what a 3 deg C/6 deg F warmer world looks like. It will stunt economic growth a lot more than voluntary measures.

edit: "The west likes to blame China and India, places we've outsourced manufacturing and work to and yet somehow they still produce far less CO2 per capita. We shame people into reducing their individual emissions while ignoring the fact that industry produces most of the emissions." do you see how you are contradicting yourself here saying that placed we've outsource industry to have lower per capita CO2 emissions. Can you clarify that?
> It walks like a duck and talks like a duck.

Nope. It's so, so different; you clearly know absolutely nothing about what actual concentration camps looked like.

> due to terrible living conditions south of the border they were indirectly forced there.

That's debatable, but why is is the job of America to hold every displaced guy on two continents?

> People are starving to death in these camps.

Source? The only deaths of which I have heard are as a result of days of dehydration and malnutrition after many days of hiking through blazing-hot desert beforehand.

> they should be held in humane conditions.

There are about 4,200 who seek asylum at ports of entry. Where do you propose to put 4,200 people in "humane conditions"? Who should shoulder the burden of that cost?

> Take some of the money you're burning up every day and spend it here instead

We're already running a massive deficit for the year. I agree there are stupid things the government does, but hell will freeze over before either side of our political system cuts spending.

This is a very hard situation, to handle this many people per month. For quite some time, the dems wouldn't even pass strictly-humanitarian money to fund better conditions. It takes time to put up that much infrastructure, especially in these somewhat-remote places. I think we have similar end goals (letting good people become Americans legally), I just think I'd disagree with how to go about it. Also, "concentration camps" is a ridiculous term for these facilities.
I'm beginning to hate this term. It's recent popularity has a tendency to turn everything into a reductionist argument. It shuts down discussion about the bigger picture or broad ideals in favor of a very narrow band of discourse.
> In this case a large number of their creditors, indeed the ones that should have highest priority, are the people who are currently stranded because they’ve already paid the company for travel they are now not going to receive.

I'm not sure that's the case - I think individual customers are amongst the lowest priority in a liquidation, as their credit is unsecured. The only people lower are shareholders, I believe. Almost by definition there will be nothing left for customers (as otherwise why would they be liquidising if they can pay all their other creditors?)
This won't be isolated to the tech industry. This is rot at the core of capitalism itself. As long as people worship money as the only real God, it's fine. But that sentiment is in rapid decline with the young.
