The world is not going to end due to climate change in 2100 or 2200. Humans are capable of adapting to developing climates. The Earth is not going to burn to ashes, the most likely scenario are a few degrees higher which will absolutely have an impact but I don't buy the doomsday scenario. Deaths due to catastrophic events have been going down each decade. Population displacement due to flooding is overstated as we are capable of adapting to incremental flooding due to climate change. My point is, let's take gas now as an improvement and work on solutions over time. We can reasonably expect that by 2100 most cars will be electric or some other clean energy fuel. Climate change will not be solved due to international cooperation, this is an intractable cooperation problem. We are beating climate change with human ingenuity but it takes time...
But why does it have to be the longest AI winter?
Because we have explored both paradigms (symbolic, subsymbolic and hybrid AI)
The research has explored both existing paradigms and no other paradigm exist.
Curve fitting (subsymbolic) is inherently limited.
Maybe we need to reinvent symbolic AI, but almost nobody is working on it, and I'm not aware of any promising research paths/ideas for symbolic AI.
The French seem to have handled nuclear technology quite well for many decades now.
> To people in general, what improvements are you making (not your country, but you personally)?

2019 was a great year for limiting my spent resources:

- I went fully plant-based in January, quit meat, eggs, dairy etc

- I joined a local gym that I can ride my bicycle to (or run in the warmer weather)

- I started working from home 4/5 days of the week

- I walk up the block and take a bus to work on that extra day

I also turn off my heat during the day when I'm home, and use a little space heater rather than burn natural gas keeping the whole house warm, since I'm in my office 99% of the time anyway.

Things I'd like to change in 2020 or beyond:

- My "daily driver" is still a large Dodge Ram - though I rarely ever drive it and certainly not daily, but occasionally I need it. It's an '09 so I've had it for quite a while. I want to replace it with something less ridiculous, but our lease on the Honda HRV is up so that'll take priority. Something electric if possible though our house is old and there's nowhere to install a charger.
Yes, but it wouldn't be F#. F# is so deeply tied to .NET semantics that you'd have a very different language, even if the syntax looked the same.
"HR is not your friend" - fuck off with this bullshit. If you're actually being harassed, say something. And your colleagues should be your team, not your enemies. This rivalry thing in companies is pissing me off.
Like electric motors controlled by the pilots?
There is always at least one guy in a team that makes life difficult for a woman in a dev team. I feel bad for the amount of shit women have to deal with to survive as a software dev.
Cockroaches are said to be able to survive a nuclear holocaust. I think it's a fitting name for something that's meant to be persistent.
I get that AirPods are designed to be replaced frequently, but geeze, is this sustainable?
Except that an MMO with millions of players could become a good weapon in the case of a cyber-warfare. This has been done before with AVs.
This isn't a one-sided stand down. If the US attacks Iran blatantly, sleeper cells around the world would probably be activated. At least this is what it seems they signalled.
It seems like the answer is to simply outsource it to the French. Pay them to build and operate nuclear plants in Germany.
I think that dismissing large swaths of the population as “idiots” is overly simplistic.

There are many groups with power that benefit from keeping people misinformed and unable to rationally determine what is truly in their own self interest, all the way from childhood indoctrination on through to old age.

I’d want to neutralize some of the most egregious uses of such misinformation before simply blaming the people entirely themselves.
There are a lot of comments here relating this to the escalation in tensions in the region - making very strong arguments for and against the idea that because 77% of the US could not place Iran on the map it is ridiculous that they should consider going to war.

Let me clear this up: it is ridiculous regardless of this statistic. Sure it might be a little embarrassing for Americans that there are so many people fired up to declare war on a country they know precious little about, but war with Iran would still be terribly wrong even if they could pinpoint Iran on the map and draw a little dot exactly where Tehran is.

And for those suggesting that this exercise is like asking Iranians to pick out Wyoming or Missouri on a map ... I really don't think you want to open that can of worms.
>I will say that ideas are generally far less valuable than a first customer. My readers told me time and time again that they wanted to be connected to someone who would pay for the idea.

Aren't RSUs the opposite of job security? If you get fired or leave before they vest, you lose them. In the bay area they are often called golden handcuffs because developers halfway through their 4 year term often have another million in RSUs vesting, so can't go leave and work on their friend's awesome startups and the like, since the startups can't afford to match the compensation.

I live inside an apartment in a bigger city and don't plan on leaving later on in life.

I don't commute to work. I use carsharing if I have to use a car (every month or 2).

I spend 8h a day working for my current client, whose success directly lowers CO2 emissions.

I am slowly optimizing my buying habits for groceries etc., one item at a time to reduce waste. I try to buy the most expensive, high-quality stuff (for everything) and stick to it as long as I possibly can.

I don't know how I could improve my lifestyle further, without totally boycotting modern society. Maybe I am missing something, but I think from my position you can only marginally improve. From here on it's on politicians.
They should move away from using Python in a system like this. There's a non trivial amount of Python code (e.g. [0]) in the repo. The lack of type-safety is just the start of the issues with using it in a project like this.

You still lost that money though, the optionality isn't worth anything because you gain nothing on the RSUs by switching jobs.
Psychiatrists have to tell these stories in order to train new psychiatrists. The only thing they cannot share is personally identifiable information. Sadly, so many people think they are struggling alone and their situation is completely unique, which is rarely ever the case.
RSUs are worth more due to tax implications?

I'd rather have a dollar now versus the equivalence of a dollar in a stock which is unavailable for up to 4 years...

Even if your companies stock is out performing the market, I'd rather have a dollar now to buy company stock and keep my mobility.

Employees need to be careful to diversify their portfolio. A dollar today can be put in any type of investment, whereas RSUs can lead to folks having too much of their egg nest in one basket.
> Making your work public.

I cannot stress this enough. Regardless of who you are, holy hell some people WILL steal your work for their own.

My first internship manager in late 1980's took my work and patented it as his own! I found out about it years later when I was hired permanently. I confronted him and he told me interns weren't allowed to patent. I learned this was false years later, but he had already left the company.

In a second instance, that same internship, I also wrote some code that was published in a corporate whitepaper and the motherfucker replaced my name with his in the comments. Different guy, same company.

I don't think making it public would have mattered because I was just an intern and we were treated as shit, but thinking back on it now makes my blood boil because both the patent and the doc are public record (USPTO) to this day. Maybe today I would have a fighting chance as an intern.

If you have a good idea, make sure top brass know it came from you. There's no guarantee it won't be stolen, but it gives you a fighting chance the more people know that you did it.

Heh. 30+ years later and I'm grumbling about it again. lol.

Also, FTA:

> Avoid everyone who is really enthusiastic about you being a woman.

I always found it creepy how some guys fall all over themselves to remind the only woman on the team that she is the only woman on the team. It's like, 'yay, thanks for noticing...??' but ... hmmm...

I'm guessing it is just a guy new to workplace diversity, and give him some slack. In my experience, it is usually older men (50-60's) who are getting the swing of the new generation of "sexism is bad, mmm'kay" and really want to show they are trying but know they were inherently trained by society to think in 80's/90's way about diversity. I get it.
HR is there to protect the company. It is probably tempting to just remove the disruptor instead of being fair. It is absolutely valid advice.
I hear you on the last paragraph
So and so would find some relative or friend who matches one or more of those categories and then claim they were the owner on paper to get the contract.

They don't even have to go to that much trouble. There's a whole ecosystem of 8(a) companies set up to take advantage of these contracts and then subcontract the work out to ineligible companies. They usually walk the halls to find the contract, handle some paperwork, provide the corporate history/legitimacy and take a bit off the top. And what you get is some tiny shop winning multi-million dollar contracts allocated for disadvantaged businesses, then turning around and farming out the work to Northrup-Grumman or SAIC or some other tradition, giant defense/government contractor (whom they usually have already worked out arrangements).
If there's money on the line, I'm surprised if it really isn't illegal? At a minimum, I would expect that to be easy lawsuit territory.
It's worth noting that this isn't an "IL feature", but a new type that includes some knowledge of the type shape in the C# compiler. The existing F# package for async streams understands the new type, and it "just works" in F#.
RSUs are worth more than cash if you're optimistic about the stock and worth less if you're pessimistic. Over the last 10 years they've probably been worth a lot more than cash if you held on instead of selling, but no one knows about the next 10.
There should be a distinction between single player and multiplayer games. I've absolutely used cheat-engine in single player games.

It was politically motivated to shut down the plants early and rely on coal.

Using the existing nuclear that you have for an additional decade or longer is much better than switching to coal.

The homeless population in Finland is ethically and culturely similiar to the population which allows them to identify and provide support. The same conditions do not exist in the US.

This doesn't extend to others. Finland doesn't provide the same level of support to the poorest nations. The US does.

How progressive are we if we help ourselves / our families and people who are genetically like us but we don't provide the same support to other poorer nations.

When you look under the hood things are not as black and white. Finland is not as progressive they appear because of the headline.
Does it have to be named after dead animal flesh?
True, I agree with that. You can still use stock TSS 2.0 instead of open pilot even with it set up in your car, and I tested out stock TSS 2.0 before I bought my eon. I'm familiar with how it works. My last car was more than 10 years old, and adaptive cruise control probably would have kept me safe.

Here's how I compare the two systems. Stock adaptive cruise control is decent and useful. Stock also allows you control the follow distance. Openpilot doesn't allow you to adjust follow distance but it's conservative. OP is really smooth, so I think it's better than stock.

Stock lane keep assist is mildly annoying at best. I find the alarms annoying. And stock active lane keep assist is weak. I wouldn't generally consider stock LKA to be worth using for me. OP LKA is really good. It's great at keeping you in a lane, and it's extremely smooth. OP LKA is something I really appreciate.

You can technically use OP ACC without OP LKA, but the combination of the two is greater than the sum of its parts. Driving with OP is a surprisingly good experience. I was showing it to a relative recently and she said she was surprised at how smooth and how comfortable she was with it active. She mentioned if she wasn't watching the steering wheel she would not have noticed that I was not actually steering.
I’m not sure I believe this. My state over the last 20 years went from 70% coal 30% natgas to 25% coal, 25% wind, 50% natgas. We’re fricking killing it when it comes to fighting air pollution.

Only reason other states don’t follow suit is they politically can’t embrace natgas like we can, and without gas turbines, you can’t expand wind as easily.

It breaks down by half over 7 years. 7 years is the half life not the lifespan. Also yes it continues being a greenhouse gas even after it breaks down. So the "Global warming potential" of a ton of methane leaked to atmosphere starts out extremely high.

(Edit: I misunderstood this next part. It's potencies here are averaged over that period of time. Most of the impact comes at the begining.)

After 20 years it is 86x more potent than co2 and after 100 years it is 34x more potent. It never becomes less potent than co2 because it eventually becomes co2.

Believe me, perspective changes once you are in them.
I'm not even scratching the surface here, and many may disagree about any of these being the "top 10", but here are some longer day hikes I did, that are near Denver, and that I thoroughly enjoyed and would do again:

1. Cascade Creek Trail to Crater Lake near Tabernash, CO (starts on the southern side of Lake Granby)

2. East Inlet Trail to Lake Verna (starts on the northern side of Lake Granby)

3. Jasper Lake Trail (near Nederland CO, can take a shuttle from the town to the trailheads)

4. Chicago Lakes Trail by Mt. Evans

Those all fall into a category of hike that you can complete by early-mid afternoon if you start around 7 or 8 AM.

Then there are ton that are 2+ days to complete. The most famous one is the Maroon Bells loop, which I haven't done yet. But one I loved was near Aspen, taking the Maroon Snowmass trail up to Snowmass Lake, camping overnight, and heading back. Most folks extend the trip and summit Snowmass Mountain the next morning.

There are ton of much shorter hikes a very short distance away from Denver that are good to do most of the year. Pretty much anything in Evergreen (Alderfer Three Sisters Trail), Apex Trail near Morrison, Walker Ranch loop by Boulder. Hanging lakes is farther away, but next to Maroon Bells as one of the most famous and highly trafficked hikes.

I've only been here a year and a half and have a lot more to explore.
Most SQL databases now support returning rows in the form of JSON allowing N,N+1 queries to be fetched in a single call, so it's easier to deal with many to many relationships in SQL directly without an ORM.

Query builders are still useful though.
I view them more as golden handcuffs than security or loyalty. They factor into the opportunity cost of considering new opportunities external to your current employer. A new job will not only have to match your base, but give you an equal amount of stock, or an even larger base salary.

Those sites do exist in a way, but you have to do the customer acquisition work yourself.

There are many technical forums where people ask "how do I do X" or "can anyone help me with Y?" There's often opportunity there to provide a paid solution. Sometimes it's explicitly asked for, other times you have to find out if the poster is open to paying for a solution.

I've been doing this for a while and I generally pick up a few small projects each month, but it takes some time before you get good at seeing which ones are real opportunities and which are just people looking for DIY guidance.

I suspect that if a free site to do this were to emerge, it would quickly end up with the same issues as eLance, Freelancer.com and the rest: race to the bottom on price.

To more specifically address the OP's question: in the past I tried using RentACoder for product ideas by datamining the job postings to see if there was enough overlap in requests that would indicate a product need. Never came up with anything concrete that I wanted to work on :-(
I disagree that RSUs can be worth significantly more than cash because the recipient of the cash can use the cash to buy (unrestricted) stock units if he or she is optimistic about the stock.
If you feel like it shouldn't be this hard, it's because there's a massive force pushing against you. Our situation isn't an accident; the status quo actively seeks to maintain itself, and incentives become structured in such a way as to reinforce it. You can't change people's minds without changing the structures that have forced them into that configuration.

As human beings, we're predisposed to think socially; when we see an issue, we look for the individual person who is the proximal cause of that issue. We have a much harder time seeing when the issue was caused by a broader system. That's why we're constantly frustrated and thwarted by issues where it seems the problem will never go away: we dealt with the person who was at fault, why has the issue reappeared? It must be hopeless, there must be nothing to do but accept that every bad person will be replaced with another bad person. But why aren't we asking what mechanism it is that keeps replacing these "bad" people with new ones? We're stricken with learned helplessness because we can't see the structure of the system or realize the fact that we have the ability to manipulate and change it, because the problem doesn't lie in any one person but in the shape of society itself.
