> I'd be able to charge, but what's the time spent at a charging station along the way?

Charging is getting a lot faster as companies move to dedicated EV designs.

Not out yet in North America, but the Hyundai Ioniq 5 will be able to go from 10 - 80% in 18 minutes. And that's only if you need to fill up on a longer trip, if you're just topping off you might only spend 5 minutes at a charging station.

What do you consider an EV?

For some, surely even a electric bycicle counts

Some, would not even count smaller EVs like Wuling MiniEV, classifying them as LSEVs, counting them separately from something like Tesla model S.
Women are not more compassionate than men, that's false. Women have an instinct to take care of children (as do men), but this does not extend to society at large.

This doesn’t contradict GP. To contradict it, your claim would have to be that lack of empathy solely exists in the wealthy. Regardless of relative frequency, that’s obviously not true.
I currently don't own a car and I promised myself a while back that I wouldn't buy a non electric one. Just waiting to have either the on street infrastructure or driveway for it.

Maybe evening response time is some abstraction on top? It may be useful for protecting much more than just auth so it would make sense not to repeat that on every layer.

When people get to publish papers in distributed computing, they always use free-hand drawn graphs, not UML.

The format varies a lot, but there is a popular one where time usually flows at the horizontal, lanes do not necessarily go through all of the diagram, the arrows are more angular, and there are very diverse conventions on the message label. The angular arrows are a very impactful change by themselves.

There are also data flow diagrams, when you don't need to represent causality.
Libertarians are complicated.. in my experience they have mix of liberal and conservative values.

Take private property as a canonical example. Private property is good from both liberal and conservative perspective, but for different reasons. Liberals like private property because it confers more freedom to individuals, while conservatives like it because of its hereditary nature, as a reward for being good manager. These are two different values. (Oh and BTW, Marx was one of the first people who pointed out this contradiction, if you reward capitalists with property for doing good, eventually you're gonna run out of it..)

First, CRM is an essential business function. CRM software helps business organize data around customers,so even if Salesforce declines, your knowledge will map to whatever is next.

Second, if you want to love doing work with Salesforce or any other CRM, you have to really like business processes, otherwise, it will feel like boring CRUD work... So much of day-to-day for sales and customer success is spent working with really awful software (and lots of great software, badly configured), with lots of double data entry and copy-pasta going on. If you can help integrate, automate and build decent UIs, you are going to do very well.

Finally, when you become an expert on enterprise software three things will create opportunity: new features to implement/customize, new customers to migrate and price sensitivity. With Salesforce, even though they are a leader both situations are great for a consultant. Salesforce customers are also willing to spend money, and aren't as price sensitive (this is a good thing) as users of many other CRMs are.

> It certainly won't visit many small towns.

Some people who constantly advocate for dense urban often would also rather small towns just didn't exist. Dense urban for everybody! They imagine utopia to be a hand full of dense cities, surrounded by wilderness untouched by human habitation, with high speed train tracks crisscrossing that wilderness to get people from one dense city to another. No roads, no cars, no suburbs, no towns or rural villages. Just pack everyone into these urban islands. Things like bus service, and "last mile" are not needed in this utopia.
>But historically, as unions have developed in this country, they have mostly just been divisive. They have put management on one side of the fence, employees on the other, and themselves in the middle as almost a separate business, one that depends on division between the other two camps.

But workers and management really are on two different sides of the fence. We have intrinsically opposed material interests. Management are not our friends.

> which became techno

> Americans were late to the scene

I think you've got to pick one or the other. It became techno in America in a culturally deeply American way. I wish people would embrace the cultural exchange and parallel/convergent evolution at the core of musical evolution instead of holding on to laughably provincial notions of cosmogony.

On the other hand, if you don't yet know a lot of NN math, like me, it is super surprising. Definitely a cool way to connect FFT and NNs.
For sure it’s long term, just look at similar products like SAP.

You are good probably for your whole career
I think you're being unnecessarily mean, rather than "fair". Anyway I'll take
the opportunity to point out that one reason why language understanding
benchmarks are not adequate for the task is that it's very difficult to know
what a system "understands" (if anything) just by looking at its output. It is
also very difficult to evaluate language _generation_ tasks accurately. Finally,
I have no idea how you could convince me that the above was not written by a
human, rather than generated by a language model, if I didn't believe you. Which
is to say, there are no good ways to know this kind of thing for sure.

At the end of the day, we have a bunch of metrics that don't measure what we
want them to measure and a bunch of systems that don't learn what we want them
to learn, and that are very good at gaming any metric we throw at them. The end
result is a lot of uncertainty regarding true capabilities of those systems. And
when careful scholarship is turned to the analysis of those systems' results, it
tends to find that they're not as good as the metrics suggest. I'm repeating the
point made by the article, but I agree with it very much.

Edit: the paper I link to above proposes a new benchmark called HANS (Heuristic
Analysis for NLI Systems) that tries to correct for learning shortcuts in
language models. It finds that (state of the art language model) BERT performs
dismally on that benchmark. That's one datum. The other is that I haven't so far
seen results on HANS reported in papers or benchmark aggregators etc.
Language modelling work likes to cite results on e.g. GLUE, SUPERGLUE, etc, but
these are exactly the kinds of benchmarks that are full of loopholes for the
current approaches to exploit (even though they're supposed to not be).
Can you double check the link? You might have mistakenly posted the wrong one. Thanks!

(I read it and the accompanying PDF and neither seem to support your point of "statistical evidence says racism" - this is a study about how sharing data showing a correlation between race and policing affects people's attitude towards policing)
It's kind of lazy of you to disclose the Backpack and Chicken Soup cases in a declarative way. You present no references, no drill-down on whether all other effects were equal in these cases. For example, did chicken soup sales continue for an extended period of time and were not driven by other factors such as "a cold going around" or low temperatures? Trust is certainly a factor in consumer behavior, but it nowhere near the sole factor in decision-making that your 'summary' tries to present it as.

You're also lacking cases where the markup is high, 500-2000% is common among a wide range of products, from Fashion to SaaS.

Edit: I'd also add, in the case of food products, if all vendors adopted the transparency strategy, once consumers see typical margins in that industry are in the 5-10% range, suddenly that not-unreasonably-priced organic chocolate bar looks like a high margin item...

Maybe, but in this case they had advertising in the app which Google is claiming may have been fraudulent, and it seems everything ballooned out from there. There’s no indication that this has anything to do with advertising on their website.

That will make it worse, not better. You want to decouple as much as you can so you don't end up creating a giant resonant structure.
This. Also, don't forget you can always stay at a RV campsite and use their 240v plug to charge your car.

> Often even gas stations are pretty few and far between when you're not on the more main roads.

In addition to the other responses, I'll note that you can charge (for example) a Tesla at about 4 miles per hour with direct sunlight using a fairly portable solar setup. I've seen some demos of just that on youtube.
> Define "middle of nowhere", I guess? Not a lot of places, even in Utah and Wyoming, are more than 100mi from an interstate.

In Utah and Wyoming you can be on the interstate and still be far from a gas station[1]. I don't think most people who don't live out west are aware of how remote parts of this country truly are.

>Tesla has created an unreliable semi-autonomous system and made it available before it's ready

Can you think of a better way?

Really. The obvious (bad) answer people come up with here is "just wait until it's perfect and release it then, and only then."

But I don't see how that's realistic. How, in your mind, could that possibly work?

Yes this is false. It was like that in the past, but you can separate purchases and just share the apple one.
How are you not making bank as a web developer? When I worked in the USA I was making 6 figures (think of $140k/year) working through an agency that works fully remote. The beauty of it is that autodidacts are the norm and nobody requires any certifications, and nobody requires an education except maybe to make it easier to land your first job.

Currently I'm back home in the Netherlands making €95/hour or about €13.680 per month or about €164.160 per year which is about $200k US dollars at the moment of writing.

Salesforce is a product that will be replaced by others or better ones over time. It'll come with endless required certifications and, let's be honest, is being in a vendor-locked world going to be fun or GOOD for your career?

At least as a web developer you focus on open-source standards that are free for all to use and free to learn about. You will naturally evolve with future developments.
I have never met anybody that can think around property based testing. Your tools are stuff people write after thinking, not while it.
That's interesting. I'm a layman at best, but I've always heard that the US health care infrastructure is really good, as long as you are eligible for care in the first place. Given the potential astronomical cost of a sudden uninsured health emergency, it would seem that the money is there for it to be that way at least. I'm not american so I've only heard anecdotes though.
If I read your comment correctly, whether or not the lockdowns are legal should Not have anything to do with health. So what you are saying is that you don’t care if it’s a health risk - nobody should ever be able to order you to stay in your home by fear of fines or imprisonments etc.

IMO that would be fine so long as we had a citizenship that was well educated and the topic of virus spread had not been politicized to the point that certain groups believe the virus itself is a conspiracy.
How would you build a SaaS product?
Sorry, I wasn't implying they had anything to do with each other. I was just saying you described the incompetence of Getty. There are similar stories of photographers hosting their images on their own site, but the lawyers sending them C&D letters because Getty reps that image for them and saying that the photog is violating the copyright that they own.

Left hand, meet right hand.
You are talking out of both sides of your mouth. How is it that people who think the lockdowns were net beneficial need to wait 'decades' to decide, but you're allowed to conclude now that they were a terrible idea?

It seems to me we should all state our positions now with the information we have available now, and let the future take care of itself.
That sounds like a dreadful work environment you've got there. Some workplaces encourage communication with management, provided it's done respectfully.
Imagine what Facebook's app would do if they didn't have to play within App Store rules.
Thank you. That was exactly the information I was looking for.
Yeah, indeed.
I think the better question is closer to why did I choose to endure building two companies. The answer is closer to having unreasonable principals about random stuff )and being abnormally competitive), which directly answers your question.
Racial segregation and racist policies exist today; consider the state of policing and the criminal justice system in the U.S. as it affects minority communities. It's silly, wasteful and divisive to focus on speculative "root causes which stem from hundreds of years ago" when activists have barely even gotten started on addressing the actual, plainly visible causes and dynamics perpetuating current inequality. Clean your room before you think about changing the world.

I agree ML is a buzzword and using a sentence like that would sound silly but I can elaborate. First, though, regression does not need a separate ML definition to make it distinct from statistics... there's tons of overlap in the field of mathematics.

Machine learning is the study of computer algorithms that improve automatically through experience and by the use of data.

This definition would include something as simple as linear regression.

Linear regression attempts to model the relationship between two variables by fitting a linear equation to observed data.

The purpose of a neural network is exactly the same as a line of best fit. That is, you are just approximating an unknown function based on input/output data. The only difference is that a NN can better approximate a nonlinear function.
I have a model X but a gas minivan for road trips. There’s no way around it, even “super”charging still sucks compared to filling up a gas tank.

I do think when the cyber truck comes out with 500+ range that will change things... you should be able to only need to charge overnight even on road trips.

But long term camping trips might still be an issue.. possibly solar panels on it will help a bit?!

The victim here are the people whose stories got exposed, not the company. The company is responsible for not protecting them enough. The public shaming is important to show people that this company is not to be trusted with your data.

What does Salesforce really do? I could never warp my head around it. Could you ELI5?
Op here, IMO the "deepest" bit is [1] - the network learns the DFT in order to reconstruct the signal, and is not explicitly trained on the DFT values from the FFT.

Admittedly, I should have mentioned that any linear transform can be considered to be a single layer neural network (if you want to see the world through a neural network lens), and will add this to the post at some point.

In fact, I have a series of posts planned, which will reveal that well known algorithms/models are actually neural networks...

Yep, you can successfully do it without convolutions. Here is a pointer if you want to dig deeper: https://eng.uber.com/neural-networks-jpeg/ (there's prior art to that, but this one is well written)
And this is what Apple already does, e.g. with federated identity - you must offer AppleID, you can offer others as well. A scheme like this enables iOS users without being anti competitive.

I don't see why processing JPEG coefficients directly as input features shouldn't have similar accuracy to a much larger NN using raw pixel data.

In particular I'm interested in the efficiency gains from avoiding convolutions and the possibility of running a compressed frequency-domain NN on CPUs.
Absolutely, but the vast majority of drivers will never desire to or do this.

This is like asking how to tow the Space Shuttle with your pickup truck. It can be done (Toyota did it with a Tundra pickup for marketing), but no one is selling into a market to do so. You’re better off outfitting a used 4x4 for overlanding (as @grecy did [1]).

> But generally, publishing to consoles is a more involved process for both parties, and game consoles are not expected to be open platforms. So I guess the business model of console manufacturers is more tightly tied to publishing contracts.

Maybe they're just asking for iOS publishing to become more involved and complex, tied to contracts. I still don't see the difference between an iPhone and a Playstation. They both have CPUs and RAM, they both have a locked down operating system (neither are general purpose computers), they both run third party software vetted by the device manufacturer, they both charge a percentage fee to publish on that platform.
At least according to the article, it was also supposed to demonstrate the strength and spoils of empire, as to remind people why they were doing the whole empire thing in the first place.

> By the time of the coronation of the new King, postponed from June to August 1902 because of his falling ill to appendicitis, the public were not only used to massive displays of pomp but expected them, and expected the world to be watching. The King was devoted to pageantry and show, and this essential part of the tone of Edwardian Britain took its lead from him.

It’s worth noting that Victorian England was, despite obvious shortcomings, still a giant wave of technological innovation and improvement in living standards over what had preceded it. Every country has experienced this shift; only after you get future generations who have never known the previous levels of living do people start agitating for reforms.
Yes, of course, I love Obra Dinn too. But that's a more traditional tale of adventure, by the author's own admission -- that the player is an insurance investigator barely matters. You're on board a mysterious ship and must investigate its fate... sounds intriguing by definition!

I mean, if Iran or North Korea directly and intentionally caused even a small forest fire today, no one would say its 'just for show,' but yeah I agree with you.
The tech just isn't ready for that scenario, but I'm hopeful things will change rapidly in the next decade.

It reminds me of when they phased out incandescent bulbs almost a decade ago (2012?). I always hated CFL lights so I bought a case of 75W incandescent bulbs before they were banned. Within a year or two the price for LED lights plummeted at the same time as the quality increased dramatically. I still have most of that case of incandescent bulbs in my basement, and I'll probably end up just tossing it.
The lockdowns weren’t unprecedented. We did something similar in 1918, and it backfired in the same ways. As a bonus, last time, a much more deadly strain emerged and ended up ripping through the population killing young adults and middle aged people.

If they hadn’t locked down for the first wave, they probably would have reached herd immunity before the second, more devastating wave. This time, we have a vaccine, so we’ll probably avoid that, at least.

That’s a long-winded way of saying that it’s a safe bet that people will take a dim view of the 2020 lockdown in hindsight.
The term "racist outcomes" is an example of the problem we're talking about. A racial disparity is not racist. Correlation is not the same thing as causation.

Racism could very much be one of the factors, but painting the entire disparity as racism pretty much guarantees we will make no progress on zeroing in on, and ultimately eliminating, the actual racism.

Conflating racial disparities with racism is really harmful and counterproductive.

Surely this should be easily knowable?
I used to work with a IT service provider (hardware, support, monitoring, help desk etc) which had to me an interesting pricing policy on hardware - they were an IBM reseller, so they just sent the customer the price list they got from IBM and said they added 10% on top of the IBM wholesale price. I guess the 10% covered installation and configuration and such.

They did quite well, which probably had a lot to do with coming across as honest. Certainly more honest than the kind of vendor where you have to ask some guy with a really fancy watch for a quote - I've met a couple of those.
