...solve the debt crisis in education and allow discharge of student debt in bankruptcy...
There's one simple scenario that prevents this from happening:
1. Go to expensive college.
2. Graduate.
3. File for bankruptcy immediately.
4. Profit.
Most college students have no assets and poor credit. There is no downside to filing for bankruptcy. An established adult with a house and a car are a different story. Creditors can go after that persons house, car, retirement savings, etc.
What I'm interested in is some post processing that will clean up the blur. In video, there should be some way to compare the frames before and after to clean it up.
Motion in photography creates blur. The blur was always there, you just didn't notice it while the video was shaky. Your brain expects it to be there. Once all of the motion is gone, your brain will notice the blur.
Given how critical aerodynamics are for ev's, I wonder if they'll be able to streamline the vehicle without it looking like a phallus on wheels.
The problem with truck aerodynamics is:
A. The trailer is not always owned by the trucking company.
B. Boxy trailers have more usable space than aerodynamic ones. Because of this, most trucking industry analysts look at "freight efficiency" (how far a unit of mass can be moved with a unit of fuel). That leads to some interesting trade offs. The most aerodynamic truck is not always the most efficient at moving freight. This can even vary based on what the vehicle is hauling, or the route taken.
Since every person's chronotype, or sleep pattern, is slightly different
From what I recall of college, no one went to sleep before 2am anyway. (that was when the bars closed) If you went to bed before that you were just going to be woken up by drunks.
Google Now/ Google Assistant or whatever they are calling it has been getting worse for a while now. It used to tell me about my commute. Not anymore. It used to tell me the weather on the home screen. Now I have to search for "weather". I should seriously just delete the thing.
The problem isn't that just one tax - the payroll/income tax being high.
TFA doesn't just cover cover federal income tax. It tries to quantify every tax that is based on an individual's income. Therefore social security, medicare, and state income tax are counted.
Included are income taxes, payroll taxes, and any tax credits or rebates that supplement worker income. Excluded are the countless other ways that governments levy taxes, such as sales and value-added taxes, property taxes, and taxes on investment income and gains.
Keep in mind, you are supposed to get your social security and medicare payments back when you are retired.
So basically they really aren't counting the total real taxes paid, and aren't considering the value of those taxes. Not sure how really useful this comparison is at the end of the day.....

I believe they are counting social security and medicare in the "payroll tax" section. However, they do not cover sales tax and property tax.
I am specifically interested in anomaly detection. I've seen some companies successfully implement AI as a new technique to predict when complex mechanical systems will fail. I think this may turn the field of mechanical engineering on its head.
I saw this years ago when I was looking for a locksmith to get a specialized key made. A lot of the "local" locksmith listings are directed to the same nationwide company. I suspect that company then turns around and sends out a legitimate locksmith for a hefty fee.
The problem is that most people aren't looking for a locksmith unless it's an emergency. They don't have time to research a reputable one. After this discovery, I make it a point to save the phone number of any locksmith businesses I see around my neighborhood. Brick and mortar locksmiths are nearly extinct!
I've tried to learn some AI techniques, but I run into the following issues:
1. I never took linear algebra in school.
2. I never took advanced statistics in school
3. Everything I have read on the topic of AI requires a fluent knowledge of 1 and 2. I know basic statistics, I can do differential equations (with some difficulty). However, you have to completely think in terms of linear algebra and advanced statistics to have a basic understanding of what's going on. Very few people are taught those subjects.
It exists more or less entirely because some Red Hat desktop customers (yes, we have some!) wanted to update to RHEL 7 but wanted a more 'classic' desktop UI.
Proving once again that people are willing to shell out big bucks for a quality product;)
No, he's probably talking about 'Classic Mode', which is an alternative interface provided by gnome-shell that looks more like a Win98 / GNOME 2-style desktop.

I agree that the default settings for GNOME 3 in most distributions is terrible. It's actually very much like Unity if you ask me. However, it doesn't have to be that way. I was testing different distributions one day and discovered that one had a very nice implementation of GNOME. (I think it was CentOS.) Upon investigating I realized there was a setting that could be changed to go back to a traditional layout.
The best reason to go see a film in a theater is because it's a camp film.
For example: Snakes on a Plane is much better in a theater than at home. It's something about the vibe in the theater during those films. It's kind of like a live action MST3K.
How are ISP going to manage their privacy policies if each states has different laws? This is why the FCC needed to regulate the abuse of user data at the federal level.
Well, the federal government is the highest law of the land. I haven't read the law created by the US congress, and I'm not a lawyer, but if the federal bill expressly permits the selling of user data, the states can't create legislation that requires the opposite.

The added blurriness is too much to justify it.
Motion in photography creates blur. The blur was always there, you just didn't notice it while the video was shaky. Your brain expects it to be there. Once all of the motion is gone, your brain will notice the blur.
Basically, it's all in your head.
They're using Oracle.
Seriously. If they were using SAP he would have never figured out how to sabotage it.

That formula applies to any undocumented spaghetti code.

I've been waiting for Lineage to announce a stable release. However, I'm getting impatient.

These are "box thrower" positions, and not technical.
...for the Hank Scorpio jokes. I'm leaving disappointed.
If you need me, I'll be in my hammock.

I believe that's it. I'm away from my Linux machine at the moment and can't look it up. More than one distribution supports it, but not all.
Going from crappy to crappier.....
The recent versions of GNOME have some settings that can be tweaked to get a more traditional layout with a proper application menu. As God intended.
Gnome3 is awful. I really do not like using it.

There's something to be said for simplicity. The more I read about IoT vulnerabilities and clunky smart home devices, the less I want one.
There is elegance in simplicity. If I want to make something smarter, I put it on a timer.

There are also reports that college students are using this technology to get better test scores.

i.e. federal law overrules state laws.
