Yes, yes, weather and climate are two different things. It's like the analogy between a dog and a person walking the dog. The dog (weather) might weave all around in different crazy directions, but the human (climate) is the path you should be looking at.

The Alaska heatwave was a decent symptom of the general change in climate, no? At least in better respects than a hurricane.
Isn't the most basic fraud to advertise fraud? My Google fu fails me, but in general I seem to recall the absolute most common con is to "recruit" people for a made up con (essentially: if you give me 1k we can defraud this mark for 100k and share the profit (the con obviously being that your partner simply pockets the 1k))?

Harvard could provide free tuition to all its students for the next 400 years if it felt like it, based on the size of its current endowment, so it's hard to believe a few million extra is providing a spot to someone deserving who otherwise wouldn't get one.
> exploiting the warming climate in a way that boosts agricultural yields

The world getting 1.5C hotter on average doesn't mean everywhere just gets 1.5C hotter all the time. If the increase means more droughts and more excessive rainfall, it's limited what you can do to exploit it for agricultural yields.
WeWork is not worth $16Bn. IWG is only worth $3.6Bn and is many times the size by sq ft under management. I don’t believe that WeWork is even worth $1Bn using similar valuation.

I've made this point before on HN, from a slightly different angle. Part of the problem with capitalism is that it's a monopoly. From about 1930 to 1980, communism was a serious ideological competitor. Capitalism had to deliver a better standard of living or risk being overturned by vote or revolution. That kept capitalism honest.

This was a mainstream position. It was accepted that companies had to do well by their employees and the larger society, or something would be done to them by governments or unions. This was accompanied by boasting about "the American way", and that boasting was backed by reality. Things we view as acceptable behavior today, such as huge increases in the price of medicines, were not even considered. Mergers to the point of creating monopolies were rarely attempted and usually rejected.

But by the 1980s, it was clear that the USSR's system just wasn't working out. Capitalism had won. That's when it started acting like a monopoly, able to set the rules. This started in a big way with the deregulation of the 1980s and 1990s. This was justified by faith in a "free market".

But businesses didn't want a free market with many competitors. That keeps prices down and doesn't allow enough control. What resulted was repeated mergers, until most industries were dominated by a very few number of companies. This was promoted as desirable.[1] The US now has three big banks, three big drug-store chains, and three big cellular phone companies. None of those industries used to be that centralized.

So we've ended up with not only capitalism as a monopoly, but monopoly capitalism.

My wife and I are watching these differences play out in real time between our twins and it's causing a layer of latent anxiety to form. "Oh, no, Baby B is developing at Thing X faster than Baby A. Is there a problem? What do we do?" Of course there's no problem, of course the thing to do is remember that there's no problem. It's hard to maintain that state, though.
This was very detailed and thorough. Thank you for putting in the time!

> Let it crash attitude is something I never understood. It's just not something you can do most of the time. If subscriber consumed 2MB and you let it crash in the middle of rating function you just "lost" 2MB. With couple of million subscribers on LTE that turns into very expensive error handling very fast.

Let it crash is the only sensible thing to do. Depending on the type of error, the 2MB could be absolute garbage. I would rather stop sending any message instead of sending potential wrong data without knowing.
Texas is unlikely to lead the way on such legislation and will have to be a reluctant follower if this is to play out nationwide. In general they don't like to mess with the autonomy of their institutions, do not require the incentive to keep players in state, and acknowledge in top-heavy big-12 country that the status quo is still a very healthy situation for most (i.e. all people that aren't top-level players). That often goes with all Texas legislation on national concerns, they tend to wait for things to play out.
I had to squint really hard to understand the point here. I think I get it, but it seems fairly obvious to me that, to the extent that player sponsorship money is reallocated from schools, it'll be reallocated from schools' athletic programs overall, not specifically from the institution for which the sponsored players play.

That is to say if $shoeco wants to sponsor $bigplayer but does not want to increase their overall athletics funding beyond its present $100M level, they will not take away $1M from $bigplayer's school, they'll take it away in very small amounts from all schools they sponsor.

The problem is that vulkan was specifically designed to throw away an amount of portability in favour of allowing lower level access to hardware features. If said hardware features don't exist on a platform, you're stuck. Note the "The Vulkan Portable Subset" having to throw away a number of features to have it work on a number of underlying platforms https://www.khronos.org/vulkan/portability-initiative .

The advantage that opengl has is a number of software implementations that can be used as a last ditch on unsupported systems. Efforts for software vulkan implementations are taking a long time to appear.

I suspect very few people have any first hand experience with "PSYOP" (MISO now). Its mostly reservists, they were kicked out of SOCOM for a reason (the reservists at least), and Civil Affairs does all the stuff people actually care about anyway.

Thanks for the reply and the explanation. You're right that I was trying to calculate distance.

One thing that confused me though, when I was trying to figure out how to square root is that one of your code blocks seems to translate into Math.pow, which made me think that I could use it too.

For the same reason you gave, equality between block-based and text-based programmers, I'd suggest any function that the blocks translate into should be allowed.

If it would help you I can find the specific block I'm referring to latter today.
Colleges put an ABSURDLY high price on the value of athletics and the "school pride" they bring.

Does it actually improve the common student's education? Probably not.

I assume the teams actually make money, since people would not run them if they were run at a loss. I've heard that the "sports teams pay for themselves." I assume this is bullshit and colleges like to have their vanity projects in the form of big stadiums and athletic teams.
> I actually meant the device fingerprints aren't easy to spoof

Device fingerprints aren't easy to spoof for the average IT nerd, they are trivial to spoof for NSA.

I know enough that I could probably spoof most websites given a couple of days of research and poking. Now, don't get me wrong, my odds of convincing Google I'm actually two people are basically nil, even NSA might struggle to just manufacture Googleproof identities, but device fingerprints themselves are pretty spoofable.

Why? Because bankers.

This was going to be one of the largest IPOs of all time. This means a huge amount of fees for bankers. In addition, WeWork is an opportunity for those bankers to also win business putting together the various kinds of debt WeWork throws off.

When bankers want a deal that will generate a huge amount of fees for them, they're not going to tell a potential client they won't get the valuation they want or that he needs curb his spending habits and reduce his control. That's a great way to lose a deal.

No, they tell Adam he's a genius, We Company is revolutionary, and once the company is public he should buy a second jet just in case the first one is grounded because a mishap like a cereal box of weed being found on it.
Yeah that's a dynamic I can't understand. Most software professionals talk about relocating away from the cities the first chance they get, but everybody else is rushing to the same cities that only software developers seem to be able to afford.

This dynamic extends beyond usa. Even in India, doctors command high salaries in rural areas, often 2-3x what they can in metropolitan cities.

The use of "flood" reminded me of a few years ago when I was researching the post-war information technology era. What struck me was how many papers used phrases like "flood" or "deluge" of data.

For examples:

> The problems of adequate storage, preservation and service for the increasing flood of periodical literature coming into their collections are of special urgency for librarians. Many studies have been made, all of which view with deep concern the rapidly increasing rate of growth of American libraries.’ Such growth, if continued even at the present rate, will in a short time result in collections of almost unmanageable proportions, both as to physical size and servicing.

("The Use of High Reduction Microfilm in Libraries", J. Am. Doc. Summer 1950 - https://search.proquest.com/openview/14f723869613e43376c4a76... ).

> With the advent of the IBM card programmed calculators, actual calculating time on the data was materially diminished, leaving the problem of reading and processing the data standing as a very real bottleneck. It therefore became evident to responsible personnel concerned that a system would have to be devised that would allow either automatic or semi-automatic processing of much of the data incurred at the Air Force Flight Test Center if the Center was to survive this deluge of data.

("A centralized data processing system", 1954, https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1455227 )

Ask HN: How to get started with data analysis for a mobile app?
I'm currently working on an iOS app (https://www.gurgee.com/) and have reached a point where I feel I'm flying blind.

I use Google Analytics for the website, Firebase analytics for the app, and Apple's App analytics for the App Store data.

I'd like to extend this to fucking VR. All VR experiences lack one thing: full body haptics. Take something inspired from the "Pacific Rim" cockpits ( http://i.imgur.com/DLze6j7.jpg ) so you can have some contraption giving you a huge freedom of movement and haptic feedback everywhere. That'd make some games a lot more immersive and physical.
Embracing My Weakness Transformed My Career
The NCAA doesn't really have to choose anything here, just enforce rules on the books and nothing changes. It seems as if the law only removes the restriction that student athletes can't be paid, not that it requires payment. Whichever teams decide to pay their athletes will be excluded from the NCAA.

Absent legislation with more teeth or a broad coalition of states and schools from across the country, I highly doubt California schools will drop out to create their own league. In fact, the money they're looking to give to athletes will soon dry up, absent the lucrative contracts the NCAA holds. Who would watch an independent league with so few teams in it and basically no national tournament circuit?

Far from forcing the NCAA's hand, I think Newsom just passed feel-good legislation which doesn't really change anything. Perhaps other states will jump on board, but there doesn't seem to be any sight of that at the moment.

Fair. But the IOC still bans many forms of athletes using their likeness to earn money, which is what this bill addresses. Even under this bill, students still wouldn't be allowed to earn money by coaching HS students or whatever.
She's not a boastful person and doesn't like talking about work, and we don't have much in common. But in an effort to bridge the gap, she would tell me about work. The few conversations we had about her job made me angry on her behalf for how much of the workload, and more importantly management responsibilities, she shouldered on behalf of the company for no increase in title or pay.

I think this is what TF's Estimators are about. The idea is that they're going to reduce boilerplate on the assumption that most users of Tensorflow actually only use the same handful of models (ResNet, VGG, Inception, etc).

The fact that it's running a DX7 series synth is simply because I wanted to see how much easier it would make a synth to operate, so why not try it out on the one with the scariest reputation, a DX7. The result was much more than I had bargained for, it actually made it a fun instrument to play with. Of course, it could operate about anything that can be digitally controlled.

I wanted to use capacitive-type touch sensors, but the problem with touch technology is it's sensitivity to ambient electrical noise, which can wreak havoc with the sensing signals.

You will have Title IX problems as soon as the school is directly involved paying players. No school receiving federal funds can provide a benefit to its male football players that it doesn't also provide its female field hockey players.

Personally, I also feel that boosters have too much direct involvement in athletic departments as is. Removing the school from the booster-player relationship and bringing booster payment to players out from under the table could potentially help clean up some of the corruption in college sports.

> That keeps prices down and doesn't allow enough control. What resulted was repeated mergers, until most industries were dominated by a very few number of companies. This was promoted as desirable.

From the point of view of a single state, it can be desirable, provided said state keeps those companies on a tight leash to ensure the benefits are, to a high degree, captured for their own country. Internal competition eats into money for R&D and international competition. A big part of post-war Japan's success involved this sort of strategy: let a small number of large companies capture the domestic market, keep foreign competitors out, then set them loose on foreign markets while ensuring they cooperate where possible (R&D especially) for greater efficiency.
