This makes no sense... car prices are $45-65/day, but you get $40 in Uber vouchers to get to and from the place you got to pick your car up, leaving $5-25 for gross profit. There's no way that can be made profitable. That's $1825-$9125 gross profit/yr if you rent it out 365 days a year... This has to pay for depreciation, insurance, maintenance, and have a profit margin for Carve and the Dealership...

Not everyone will need the full voucher amount, maybe some people will rent it multiple days, but still, if you offer this, people will use it instead of asking a friend to drop them off/take a bus/train, etc...
Yeah, there are consequences for challanging establishment views on certain topics, but nobody is throwing critics such as Noam Chompsky in jail, taking passports away from his family and restricting their movements, or doing the same to those who openly share his views.

And such abuses of power, which have happened without a doubt, are in time recognised and documented as the wrong and shameful excesses they are.

Right. I think the one great feature it shapes with Lisp is, that everything has a textual representation. That means, all types of values can be presented as text and can be recreated from a textual representation. For Lisp, it is S-Expressions, which can be printed and read, for TCL it is the syntax which can be printed as strings and interpreting strings as data.

This is a bit tricky to explain without more math.

The sine wave is 1-dimensional and the ocean wave is 2-dimensional, but both have the property that the amplitude at a point (say, f(x) or f(x, y)) is a real number. In QM, to describe position, we have a 3-d wave whose amplitude is complex. This is obviously hard to visualize.

But consider for a moment a particle confined to one dimension. Its wave function is a function f(x). This function can also be thought of as a vector in an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space called the L^2 function space[1]. In quantum computing, we generally deal with two-dimensional Hilbert spaces (and their tensor products), which you can sort of think of as discrete waves with only two points. This is because, while a particle can take on an infinite number of positions, there are only two possible spins (for example). If you follow Prof. Aaronson's lectures, these are the sorts of "waves" that matter.

Leaving that aside, you could imagine two 1-D sine waves (with different speeds and/or phases) interfering, just as you could two ocean waves. The difference in QM is that you're summing complex numbers.

You have a shot, but why? Dealing with the politics of corporate is bad. Don't care which of the FANMAG you work for. Let alone for smaller companies. You'll be wanting out very fast.

I don't know that your resume will even get you a call back. There's nothing that jumps out. Things like C/C++, Python, Go, Distributed Systems, etc. The first thing you need is to get seen, then pass the phone screen, then get onsite. For an IC, if you can whiteboard it then you might have a chance.

Best of luck tho.

> “Areva, the French nuclear plant operator, offers that 70% of the cost of a kWh of nuclear electricity is accounted for by the fixed costs from the construction process.”

Yes, this exactly means that operating costs are very cheap: if 70% of the cost per kWh is amortization of construction costs, and only 30% is operating costs, and the kWh from nuclear plants are still the cheapest, or exactly means that the operating costs of running a nuclear power plant are very, very low, much lower than coal plants.

> Looking at pure construction costs in a steady state environment without loans it’s a significantly smaller fraction which continues to increase with age. This is why several viable nuclear power plants have been decommissioned early, their operating costs are to expensive even after construction has been paid off.

Which ones? What were their operating costs?

> So if you want 2.2 TW 24/7 you need to build ~1,112 of them not 1,000 of them.

Sure, but as I noted, we can build twice the amount we need rather easily, while building enough of utility scale batteries to ride out the variations in solar/wind production is just infeasible. Of course nuclear isn’t perfect, but I thought your alternative is solar/wind, which has all the same problem, but worse - instead of predictable and controllable 90%, you get 40-50% of installed capacity on average, and it can be all down at times beyond your control.

> Up to a point, your talking days of downtime not hours so you still need peaking power. The cheapest approach is for a steady state of workers smoothly moving from one project to the next. That’s hard to pull off, and you end up needing even more generation to cover scheduling issues and unexpected problems.

That’s okay, since we can build twice our peaks and still be firmly in the realm of feasible.

I note, however, that you gave up on the idea of utility scale batteries being feasible approach to work around the inherent unpredictability of solar and wind. Good.
One of the latest theories is that quantum entanglement basically is what we perceive as "spacetime" and "distance".

There is no assumption of mutual trust between processes, and there is nothing synchronous about it, you still don't know whether any of the messages reached their destinations. This is just backpressure, asynchronously propagated (or synchronously, depending on your interpretation of it). And still no DoS, it's completely up to the application to decide what to do with the messages it generates too fast.
There are clear, well-defined rules around what constitutes a political advertisement, published by the FEC. Some states have guidelines that go further. A smart place to start, instead of feigned ignorance or poorly constructed strawman arguments, might be there.

https://www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees/making-di...
Agreed. The fact that it's harder to do on the web for whatever reason shouldn't mean they get to ignore the rules.

I see this sort of paradoxical mindset all over the place: X breaks the rules but X is just so successful, or so full of potential, so shouldn't we just bend or break the rules for it? But the fact is that X is probably successful or full of potential in large part because it's been breaking the rules, and the rules exist for a reason.

Based on all of the evidence thus far, yes, there are no consequences whatsoever for the federal executive to lie about all manner of topics literally every day, up to an including matters of national security.
When people talk about voter suppression, we don't always talk about these highly effective methods such as:
- requiring a specific ID that is difficult for certain segments of the population to get. Either by requiring non-existent documentation, or making the in-person process onerous.
- closing polling stations, or understaffing in certain areas.
- adding regulations that are prima facie neutral, but in reality disadvantage some population segments more. (eg: unstable home addresses, no PO boxes accepted, not allowing college addresses)
- not making good faith effort to ensuring everyone has maximum access and accommodation at polls, eg: signage, language translation, advertising campaigns, technical use challenges.

A lot of these rules and restrictions are constructed in such a way that the dominant language/culture/homeowners don't have any problems meeting them, thus offering an easily defensible reasoning behind them. It seems totally reasonable to assume everyone has ID - but if you don't drive, and are well established in a community you probably won't need ID to conduct life.

The reality with the importance of the chief federal executive office and how the election swings on such narrow margins in certain states, this is a problem that constitutional we just aren't able to easily solve - deliberately so, that is the constitutional order constructed on purpose.
I've been thinking about starting a cyclist-oriented "neighborhood watch" type organization because the police don't do much anything about violence against cyclists, much less more "minor" issues like parking in the bike lane. At the very least volunteers could document things like this properly.

We had the same trouble in Los Angeles.

When they swapped the bike lane and parking, there was no physical barrier so everyone parked in the bike lane [1].

Even when they added bollards and painted better, lots of people still don't understand[2][3]

> Apple doesn't own the majority of the smartphone market

They don't have to? Most people who pay for an iPhone already have bought into the ecosystem and are willing to pay a lot for Apple items (ear pods). Those people also would likely be more willing to buy wearables, so it's quite likely that they have a large stake in the wearable market (as your data shows). Most people who buy phones don't have the resources to buy accessories (like a wearable).

Even what you linked was 40% Apple, that's a huge market share for wearables (which is what you see in public). Not the majority, but probably enough that a person can say "it's all all see in the real world". Especially, if you are from a more affluent area, where locally it may be the majority.

Glad to hear that! I have one friend who has built a reasonably successful luxury travel business, but I have at least 5 others who are functionally free APIs for their friends. I would love to see this as an emergent specialty space - imagine if a frequent traveller like the ones I'm referring to could plan their trips, but also easily create them to share and sell to others.
As a Casey (last name), I've been intrigued by the transitions over time. It would be interesting to map this to major events.

For example, the #2 name "Jackie" switched from a heavily boys name to a heavily girls name about 1/3 of the way through the data set which would be around 1960. Also in 1960, JFK was elected and his wife was "Jackie" Kennedy. She became First Lady and a fashion icon immediately.
What’s the reality then?

Let’s accept for the sake of the argument that it’s a clownish thing to do in the 21st century to report that you’re sending electrons one by one (at intensities low enough so the interaction is necessarily that of independent particles, not that of a beam) towards a metal plate with two slits (which can be opened and closed at will) and detecting the arrival of individual electrons at the other side as independent events. Because that’s a trivial thing to perform and thousands of students were doing it already in the eighties.

You say that if it was innovative it would be in the cover of Nature or something. When would you say it was done for the first time then? Was it published in a top-tier journal when it was innovative? If not, why not?
This single sentence explains the problem very well:

> The thinktank British Future has studied how best to win arguments in favour of immigration and multiculturalism.

BF didn't set out to figure out whether immigration and multiculturalism is favorable. They only tried to figure out how to use statistics (or anything else) in support of their foregone conclusion.

Maybe the headline should be "Statistics have lost their usefulness for propaganda."
I don't disagree with everything you said, but suggesting people should be jailed for misunderstanding scientific facts is a pretty obviously disastrous position to take.

Who is the arbiter of the truth? What about people who are sincerely misinformed and well-intentioned?

I wouldn't say Abendbrot is something only old folks use. It simply implies that your Abendessen involves bread and butter with a topping. When you say you're having Abendbrot you literally mean that you are eating bread, otherwise you say Abendessen.

It's not unusual for some German families to eat their main meal late in the afternoon or evening, when everyone is home. So they might prefer to call it Abendessen since they're not just having bread and toppings but a proper hot meal.
Amplitudes can be non-real, so simply squaring them doesn't ensure that you have a (non-negative) probability; you have to also take the absolute value. It's still a pretty straightforward process to derive a probability from an amplitude, but fully explaining that process is a bit of a distraction from making the point that amplitudes really aren't probabilities and shouldn't be thought of as equivalent to or even intuitively similar to probabilities.
Google has claimed otherwise, as linked in my post.

The assertion that sub domains don’t contribute to domain authority is not backed by facts or authoritative evidence.
In these experiments, the BOLD signal reliably scales with reward prediction error, which is a computation, the difference between the reward expected and received. In short, we fit reinforcement learning models to in-task behavior, then correlate parameters of that model to neuroimaging acquired during that behavior.

fMRI does have quite a few limitations; BOLD signal is believed to reflect the amount of work being done, loosely, speaking, but it is not a computational signal in of itself; for reinforcement learning models we'd like to measure dopamine itself. Two decades ago, the pioneering work of Peter Dayan and Read Montague established that dopamine neurons report a prediction error signal (see: http://static.vtc.vt.edu/media/documents/SchultzDayanMontagu...), but recording of neurotransmitter release in humans is hard, and frankly, long thought impossible (given ethical constraints). However, recent work by Read Montague has done just that. See: https://www.pnas.org/content/113/1/200 Keep tuned.

I don't see any swing states on that list -- the pure DRE w/o paper trail states are Delaware, Georgia, Louisiana, and South Carolina, none of which are swing states, and all of which are being actively challenged.

The non-pure ones (that is, paper + DRE w/o paper trail) only include one swing state, Pennsylvania, which is switching to paper ballots for the next election cycle.

So I guess voting machines pose a hypothetical threat, if they were adopted more broadly, but the opposite is the trend.
I'm always impressed when I hear stories of quiet, but strong dedication to reach critical long-term goals.

I have a friend that is in his late twenties and is now a partner for a boutique investment shop. About four years ago he made a commitment to pass the CFA 1 in nine months. Studied a little each day after work, and then studied more on the weekends. 180 hours total. Passed the CFA 1 without any fan fare. Hardly told a soul. Did the same for the CFA 2 the following year. Didn't tell any colleagues. No fan fare. Boss was pleasantly surprised when he listed the new qualification on the firm website.

He does the exact same thing the following year for the CFA 3. His wife tells someone at the firm, and when he walks into work they throw a surprise celebration for this very impressive accomplishment (many people spend a decade reaching CFA 3).

A couple months later the managing director moves to have the firm make him a partner. Easy decision. You had a junior analyst quietly dedicate themselves to substantially improving their skills.

Now, while his salary is certainly quite impressive as a partner and for someone that young, the true freedom he has achieved is being given responsibility of a new order of magnitude to establish things he wants to establish in that world (internal values maybe, many new types of clients, new employees he can then bring up through the firm, etc.).

Point is: good on you. You're a lesson for most of us.

I like my Fossil Q Explorist well enough. I have the Gen 3 which doesn't have the heart rate monitor or GPS, but on the whole it's a good watch. If you want a smart watch that can do all the smart stuff and last a couple days, I'd look elsewhere. Fossil watches don't have the best battery life. The Gen 4 says like 2 days on standby a day with usage. I get about 6-8 hours tops actually using the watch (looking at notifications quickly and swiping them away, looking at the time, changing songs on my phone), and the charge time is like 3 hours. They suggest it can do sleep tracking, but I've never tested it because I need to charge it every night.

If you don't mind having a watch that is mostly for doing watch things, and then charging it every night - Fossil is nice. But I would look elsewhere if you want a smart watch for daily use doing "smart" things.

Fitbit isn't really made for serious fitness enthusiasts. If you look at its feature set and design, it's trying to give the average person a way to get data about how fit they are in the range between not fit and average. The sleep tracking, water tracking, automatic workout tracking, and other simple features are more for the average person than for a marathon runner. So it doesn't surprise me that they don't support chest straps because most people don't want to do zone training, they just want to know whether they're getting exercise that will EG condition their heart.
Thank you very much. It's going to be very helpful to my... squirrel. Such a silly critter.
For one, I think this would be cumbersome from a debugging perspective. All of the address-to-source-mappings in your DWARF section would point to things like "lib.c:237652" instead of "lib-module.c:347".

It also means that you're effectively linking all you dependencies statically. In some cases this can be a plus, in some cases a minus. I think having the choice is important though.

I imagine there are lots of other parts of the toolchain that would have to be updated to support this workflow. Seems like a lot of hassle for something that, though at times complicated, mostly works.

Listen to music with a tempo that matches your workout (heartbeat).
Not true, There are lots of languages that bring absolutely nothing to the table in terms of making you a better programmer. Take something like Elm, it doesn't make you a "better programmer". It does make your program better by being statically typed. Kinda like typescript doesn't make you a better programmer than if you use javascript, but it makes your program better. You can say this for a lot of languages.
