Nope. I recently installed windows home for a friend and I had the option for offline account.
It's hard to see fusion as a dead end, when it could produce as much zero-emissions energy as we need, and last until the sun goes out.

I hope we do fix the political situation, but doing that may be harder than achieving fusion, so I wouldn't want to bet entirely on that. And even if we accomplish it, fusion could still make our task easier if it's cheap enough. There's no merit to making things harder than they need to be.
Man, karma is a bitch. Couple hours in recovery mode dealing with dns issues and reinstalling nvida drivers immediately after posting this. ;)
> After that I just told her to either park in the disabled spots or the mother/child spots. She has more right to them than the lazy boomers and BMW drivers who consider them their private parking spots.

I was with you till that statement. I know several people with disabilities who have been yelled at for parking in the handicap spot when they don't "appear" disabled.

People don't need to be wheelchair bounded to be disabled, and calling boomers "lazy" who use the spots (presumably legally) is in really poor taste imo.
I've been waiting for the Symbolic/NN pendulum to starting swinging back the other way and start settling in the center. NN/DL is great for the interface between the outer world and the inner world of the mind (pattern recognition and re-construction), and symbolic AI more straightforwardly represents more "language of the mind" tasks, and easily handles issues like explanation and other meta-behaviors that with DL is difficult due to its black-box nature. DL's reliance on extension/training vs. intention/rules can develop ad-hoc intentional emergent theories which is their strength but also their weakness as these theories may not be correct or complete. Each can be brittle in their own way - so it'll be interesting to see more cross-pollination.
Easy to write and easy to deploy. But that was a double edged sword.
Maybe; it's hard to say. I think the reputation of human driving is so low that it's hard to go lower, but opinion on that is pretty polarized. As a bike commuter in a quickly growing city, I'm aware that there are a lot of people who think driving is a fundamentally safe activity that is only made dangerous by unwelcome novelties such as cyclists, pedestrians, etc. But there's also a lot of awareness that it's really a shit show: humans are terrible drivers who kill people by the thousands every year. It's such an outlier that I don't think normal safety standards apply. I think the only standard that self-driving cars should need to meet is being comparable to human drivers.

If self-driving cars replaced humans the day they became safer than human drivers, they would become our second most deadly consumer technology next to guns. Crazy to think about, isn't it? As safety improves, self-driving cars can save thousands of lives per year and still be our second most deadly consumer technology. We should get used to that idea and look forward to cranking the death rate lower and lower as technology improves. Humans behind the wheel will always be a menace.
Or Lisp’s approach of just using ”big” ints by default (which is practically the same but with an implicit default of “infinity”). And trust the compiler to use fixints internally when the programmer has declared it safe to do so.
This is only true for some lifestyles. Elderly people with limited mobility, freezing climates, and rural, spread-out areas are examples of reasons cycling might not be appropriate.

As someone who cycles to work year-round, I'd love to see more bicycles and infrastructure, but I don't think bicycles are a panacea.
CMUCL also has bindings to Motif, tools like the debugger and inspector use this.
Or, you know - we could not lower our standard of living.

It's good to be able to visit friends in the next town over in a few minutes, in any weather, rather than having to walk and then transfer in some distant location.

It's good to be able to have our choice of food, rather than having to accept what's left of what the comisar of production allocated to are area.

The nice thing about technology is it will allow us to improve the future, rather than having to don the hair shirts of the past.
It seems crazy to me that as a professional who’s diagnoses basically has to be followed there’s no other means to know how your treatment plan will financially affect a patient.

Imagine if your car mechanic recommended a fix but had no idea what the parts would cost. And the difference between two perfectly suitable parts could be the equivalent of half of someone’s paycheck.
If we replaced 'Tesla' with 'Boeing' and '737 Max', would you still feel the same?

> A hedge fund that takes 0 risk and operates through statistical arbitrage or latency advantages is hard to link to capital raising. Liquidity is not a goal in itself the allocation of capital is.

Yes, but let's say you are a venture capitalist. Ultimately, you want the company you allocate capital to to IPO, because the IPO is what allows you to recoup your investment later on. The more efficient the market is that your company IPOs into, the more directly your incentives are aligned with investing in good companies. That is why market efficiency, and its counterpart, liquidity, are important.

> If exchanges operated on auctions at every say 15 minutes instead of streaming prices would that matter in the capital allocation process?

No, that's a perfectly reasonable and good way to operate a market. It's called a "call market", and for most purposes it is in fact strictly better than a continuously trading market. Its primary downside is the lack of immediacy - you have to wait 15 minutes. Of course, you can make that window arbitrarily small, say, every minute.

I'm mostly arguing that things like statistical arbitrage, which is what DE Shaw does, are necessary and important. And DE Shaw would continue to operate just fine in a call market. AFAIK they are not primarily HFTs.
A business professor told me that cars were entirely incremental innovation all the way from the model T. Just little improvements, one at a time. I don't know if that's true, but I wonder if it will be an apt analogy for AGI - one feature at a time, and older attempts at it just look outdated.
Many years ago I heard a best-selling nonfiction[1] author speak who had a similarly unpolished speaking style. A friend asked me afterwards if his speaking made me think less of him, and I had the same reaction as you: to the contrary, it seemed more genuine.

[1] There have since been allegations that he mixed a nontrivial amount of fiction in with his nonfiction.
Nope, there's both plain (table, mineral) and carbornated water available in glass.
This looks like a throwaway answer, but it's really the only right one: the only phone that offers privacy or anonymity is one that is smashed to dust. Anyone who is concerned for their security in any way beyond, "Hey, don't tell Jim, okay?," should never, ever use their phone, and I don't see a way to fix that. The makers of phone hardware, the software providers, and the service providers are completely unworthy of trust, and I can't see that changing.
I’m sorry to hear that, but have you considered the possibility that the team you work with is not emblematic of the entire industry?

ASP was inaccessible for younger developers, tinkering with a linux box after school.
> In the U.S., there are laws that determine how many such spaces must be designated in parking lots, based on the size of the parking lot and/or venue.

> I have a friend who is physically handicapped and very much needs to park in these spaces. The only problem he has ever told me about is finding a spot to park at work. Apparently it's somewhat common where he lives for middle-aged women (his description) to game the system and obtain handicapped placards. He says he knows they are not really handicapped because he sees them walking briskly through long corridors at work without distress. Sometimes too young people will borrow an older relative's placard to park in those spaces.

Firstly, it's very possible to be handicapped at any age, so this "too young" idea is pretty disgusting.

However, if people are using the placards of others, and if this is in the US, your friend should report these people to the police. The placard also comes with an identification card with the person's information on it, which can be used to verify their disabled status.
Several companies are working on machines that directly capture CO2 from air. It looks like the cost will be around $100/ton at scale.

Self-taught here. I dropped out of college because I was already making 6-figures and I just didn't feel like doing the school work any more.

I make top-tier money outside of SV, I get to go to all the cool conferences, company-paid international travel. Most of my vacations all the flights are free thanks to the miles.

I might finish school one day, but it's mostly for the piece of paper and 0% for the knowledge. if WGU had a linux-track I would consider that as the path of least-resistance.
> salaries are bound to collapse to reflect that at some point.

I don't don't, I've been hearing people make this claim for a decade now. Hasn't happened yet.

Quite the opposite, people keep saying this, yet salaries continue to skyrocket.

Maybe basic programming skills are just really valuable, and when people learn them, they become able to do much more productive work?
A big thing that annoys me about buzzwords like "decentralized" is that they're not binary. Another one that's largely lost meaning is "blockchain". Decentralized is relative and depends entirely on the context.

They do tend to represent ideas like anti-censorship, individualism, and (sometimes) privacy. I think it makes more sense to discuss these topics in terms of the actual implication of what you're decentralizing, and how it actually helps.

For example, the Internet itself is decentralized. But from the perspective of your particular ISP, it's not at all decentralized (if your ISP turns off your Internet, it's game over).

Email is also decentralized, but so what? Most people use the same email providers so it's somewhat meaningless for SMTP itself to be decentralized. Google can still read your emails.

The problem with using these terms instead of more tangible language (i.e., language that describes what the thing is actually doing) is that they tend to get hijacked by scammers/marketers who just want to harness their popularity for their own ends.
My guess would be something related to teaching?
> That's what it's reported as NOT doing, tho

False. Nowhere is that reported.

Yes Tesla advises you to be careful.
Is it good to be able to do those things when it is killing us? Lots of things are "good" in the short term if you ignore long term effects.
> This also means that everyone get the same tools (same version, same bugs).

Everywhere I've worked solved this by having the toolchain available via a network share that you would mount/copy, or checked into p4 so that everyone would be on the same version and you would know what compiler version was used to build a particular release. I suppose you could achieve the same thing by building in a Docker container..

This is kind of the idea behind the hermetic environments that Bazel enforces, and is essential if you want bit-for-bit reproducible builds.
> Wind and solar consumes ridiculous amount of spaces

Yet the ocean and deserts are massive. More than enough room in the North Sea to provide enough kWh to power Europe each year. More than enough room in Saudi Arabia to power India (not to mention the indian ocean), more than enough room in China to power the far east, in the outback to power Austrailia
.... However, unless you use non portable intrinsics, you can't make the compiler use MMX. So in practice you get wrap on overflow.

Worse, the compiler is entitled to use saturation arithmetic if you've assumed wrapping.
I'm going by actual original sources, which I named: the paper's official initial statement written by Senior Editor Carol Hunter about what happened and the timeline. Not the yellow journalism and factually incorrect Buzz Feed summary OP gave and which you quoted, and were fooled by.

It's just as I summarized. The reporter approached management. A discussion between editors ensued. And "Register editors" made the decision to include the angle about the posts as a minor, claiming that the posts were relevant and should be disclosed in the article for the benefit of anyone who has "donated money to King's cause or were planning to do so". Then then boldly summarized and justified their decision as "rooted in what we perceive as the public good".
I generally swear by Google maps, but did notice that Google prefers to not take shortcuts. Just recently in Seattle area, Google would have me take I5 in traffic, while manually dragging a dot onto a smaller road would have the same Google tell me it's going to be 7-10 minutes faster that way. Then you'd remove the dot and it's back to I5, +7 minutes to driving time. I've seen similar cases before, including e.g. a slowww light next to my house you can avoid by driving, however slowly, down a residential street with 0 traffic.
This is presumably because of the tragedy of the commons that would ensue if it directed people there.
Only in good conditions? Have you seen the videos of the Uber kill? Come on... 95% of humans would have had the same outcome.
Not everybody can use a car either. There's always exceptions to every proposal.

But I don't think bicycles and mass transit will take over ultimately. But self driving electric vehicles a bit larger than a bicycle could do it.

These will only need one seat and minimal storage. They'll go directly from home to work without stopping at every bus stop or train station along the way. And they'll be 1/4 the cost of today's car.

And, yes, they won't work for everybody and every situation, just like everything else.
To me, this sounds like general purpose wage competition. I mean, even doing my own job for much less than the going rate would be a suboptimal personal choice, a sacrifice, etc. My wage level is enough to ensure that acting in the company's interest is also in my personal interest.

In fact, every player who is involved with the company (workers, suppliers, shareholders, customers, etc.) is assumed to be acting out of self interest. What management does is to arrange matters so that self interest coincides with a unified interest that is the business entity.
If performance is a concern, why on earth are you using JSON. Just the absurd amount of string-integer conversions kill any hope of that.
> Exact same story in both cases: 0 tech background + MBA.

As I have said many times: the MBA is the Western equivalent of the Soviet apparatchik.

Elon should not be quite so remarkable. He seems superhuman only against a field of apparatchiks and bureaucrats.
That's the difference between ttf and otf? And that's why certain fonts look slightly different between platforms!

This is a serious revelation to me. Thank you. I've been having to switch between my Mac laptop, Linux workstation, Windows 10 workstation, and Windows 10 Amazon Workspace a lot. It's been frustrating seeing the small differences but being unable to really figure out what was going on.
The difference in running time grows exponentially with the size of the input. I'd say that's "literally" exponential.

> So instead of a foot on a pedal connected mostly directly to the brakes, it is a finger on the button of a phone app over the internet? That is madness, imagine if your car's brake pedal had to go over the public internet and instead of a pedal is was a button in a probably poorly coded phone app.

it's a deadman's switch not a brake pedal. if you lose connection it stops the car. if you lift your finger it stops the car. if the car senses an object it should stop the car (but might not because it's not 100% yet)
> The 90% recyclable figure refers to the materials that can be used in low grade applications.

[1] says that "[the waste components] are crushed into granulates that can used to make new panels". Are new panels a "low grade application"?

> The remaining 10% are the rare earth minerals that actually make the panel work and need to be mined.

Excuse me, but what "rare earth minerals" are you talking about? There are none in solar panels, much less 10% of them. (That would be 2 kg per average panel, mind you!)

An Introduction to Ghost – A Headless, Open-Source CMS
It specifies the minimum sizes, in the sense that sizeof(char) <= sizeof(short) <= sizeof(int) <= sizeof(long) etc... but no requirements on how big they actually are. You could (in theory) end up with all of those being 9 bits wide on some weird platform.
Hit the nail on the head. If Starship/Superheavy succeeds the contrast will be stark, with the relative inefficiency of ESA/NASA making them look like employment schemes that do space as a side-effect. If they care about remaining relevant in rocketry both organisations need to wake up, smell the coffee and start disrupting themselves before SpaceX becomes the only game in town (ESA efforts notwithstanding). This is very much what I would love to see, it's 2019 and we should have at least a moonbase by now.
Paying attention to surroundings is good.
The other major problem is how public information can so often be used to authenticate as you. Someone asked Amazon customer support for the last address I had something shipped to after supplying them with my name and an address I used to live at.

No amount of security best practices on your part can save you from these sorts of attacks.
All of which is never going to happen for all but the most knowledgeable and dedicated. What is one blank spot on a map but an invitation for the cartographer to devote more resources toward discovery. If this matters to us, we need a more universal solution.
"I try to live my life as if I'd become president one day and the CIA/FBI/NSA would use everything in their power to find something heinous they could use to destroy my life"

It's a smart move. It's more likely to happen during a regime change, shift in popular opinion, etc where a group is labelled unpopular, not to be tolerated, and/or dangerous. That has happened many times in my life. Then, the Patriot Act passed letting them black-bag people for torture flights or hold them indefinitely due to what they claim to find via secret surveillance whose methods aren't peer reviewable ("classified").
Why do you consider Hamburg more secure? AFAIK Berlin offers more variety and Munich more security for tech jobs in Germany.
Spacefaring is more likely than multi-planetary. Do you disagree with any point below?

(1) We use factories and raw materials to build space station modules.

(2) We create and expand space stations in Earth orbit by launching modules via rockets.

(3) We can build and add additional modules to increase the crew capacity of the station.

(4) We grow plants and manufacture things (in small quantities) on the station.

(5) We live (in small numbers) on space stations for years given enough crew space and constant coordination and resupply shipments from Earth.

(6) The amount of people and equipment directly involved in any particular Earth industry is finite.

(7) We protect volumes from the hazards of space (vacuum, temperature, micro-meteors, radiation) by armoring their surfaces with factory-made materials.

(8) We could continue (2 and 7) until the station is armored enough to allow its inhabitants and equipment to survive beyond Earth's magnetic shield.

(9) Given (5), we could continue (2 and 3) until the station has enough people (6) to self-co-administer, at which point it only needs resupply shipments from Earth to sustain itself.

(10) We could continue (2 and 4) until the station has enough factories and refineries for (1), provided it has raw materials from Earth or asteroids.

(11) We could build one or more hospital modules to facilitate safe human births on the station, perhaps in a rotating section, so new humans can replace the old.

To accomplish these points, we require no additional advances in technology, only our sustained effort. Humanity could live and grow endlessly in large space stations that run on solar power and build with raw materials from asteroids, comets, moons, or planets.
Using GoodRx is still “using insurance”, isn’t it? My insurer offers 90 day supplies with a cheaper copay via Express Scripts already.

(Their customer service blows, though.)

Interesting, my main screen is 160dpi@27", and I would love to try something at 300dpi@27". It's difficult to figure out how much of a difference a screen is going to make at 160 vs 220 vs 300dpi unless you sit down and just work for a few days.
Yes if you’re the single point of failure - then it’s the companies fault and not you when things go wrong. Most places try to save money and take shortcuts. Just accept they took the risk and they get what they pay for.
Okay, but consumer cars aren't actually the largest polluters by far.
In fact, the article quotes one of the fusion researchers saying if he stuck his arm in his 35 million degree plasma, he wouldn't even be burned.
> If performance is a concern, why on earth are you using JSON.

Maybe JSON is what you get sent and you've got no control over that? Or JSON is what you want to expose and you've got no control over that either? You can want to achieve reasonable performance while still meeting external requirements.
Am I the only one bothered by the fact that we're already paying for insurance, which is supposed to not only negotiate lower prices for drugs for us, but also pay for a percentage of the cost at the pharmacy? The last few times I have been prescribed something, it was better to use GoodRx than make a prescription claim with my insurance company. So, we're being weaned away from that, paying in a more direct manner for drugs, but still paying the same for insurance. We're overwhelmingly accepting the stealth downsizing of our insurance plans, and praising the people doing it.
You kind of went from zero to one hundred there - pretty sure what the previous poster mentioned can be accomplished without a communist dystopia and with don’t way to still travel swiftly to visit friends, etc.
