I think by "mental ability", they're trying to avoid discrimination against people with learning disabilities, neuro-atypical expression, etc.
However, stupidity expressed as bad code should be called out and shamed/trained into happening less often. If I hadn't been thoroughly dressed down by more competent engineers early on, I'd probably still be cranking out awful code.
Training and skill development can't be all carrots... Sticks are incredibly effective when used properly.
I recently had a chat session to add unlimited data to our 250d/10u Mbps Comcast plan, and *three* times, the CSR said something akin to "So your total, with new 1Gbps/35Mbps service and unlimited data will be..."
I had to repeatedly say "No. Stop. Just add unlimited to my plan. I'm not signing up for another commitment..."
I finished up with that support session and immediately signed up for AT&T gigapower (970Mbps u/d) fiber to the home. I'll be dropping off my Comcast hardware today. Honestly, that's the most satisfied I've ever been with Comcast support. They got me to stop using Comcast, which I consider a *huge* favor.
So let's thank Comcast for their most recent move. A big "not recommended" sign hung around Comcast's neck (even by Comcast), is a really nice thing to do.
So, knowing that it's pretty easy to make a monochromatic sensor that is succeptible to IR and/or UV (and pretty easy to reject/pass wavelength ranges), I figured there would be Bayer patterned hyper-spectral sensor packages and cameras aplenty, making it easy to build this sort of goggle setup via chromatic tone mapping.
I know that NASA built IR-mapping goggles (think less sensitive nightvision) for their firefighters, as hydrogen fires are hard to see in the visible spectrum (mild blue).
I was wrong about part availability. This will be harder than I thought...
I'm not sure that's the case. Does CA law require completely clear crosswalks?
Also, depending on the order of entry, a pedestrian may have an obligation to yield the crosswalk to a vehicle, even when granted a signal to cross (e.g. clearing of intersection).
I'd love to know what the caselaw is on this. The relevant statute is below:
21950. (a) The driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within any marked crosswalk or within any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection, except as otherwise provided in this chapter.
(b) This section does not relieve a pedestrian from the duty of using due care for his or her safety. No pedestrian may suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety and walk or run into the path of a vehicle that is so close as to constitute an immediate hazard. No pedestrian may unnecessarily stop or delay traffic while in a marked or unmarked crosswalk.
(c) The driver of a vehicle approaching a pedestrian within any marked or unmarked crosswalk shall exercise all due care and shall reduce the speed of the vehicle or take any other action relating to the operation of the vehicle as necessary to safeguard the safety of the pedestrian.
(d) Subdivision (b) does not relieve a driver of a vehicle from the duty of exercising due care for the safety of any pedestrian within any marked crosswalk or within any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection.
Cyclists in San Francisco regularly run four way stops, causing panic braking, and I had to swerve to avoid a trio riding the wrong way on a divided street (Dolores) on Thursday.
San Francisco cyclists regularly put the burden for their survival on other users of the road (pedestrians, drivers, other cyclists). There absolutely should be more ticketed cyclists in San Francisco, but it should not be driven by a revenue motive.
I say this as a cyclist, skater, pedestrian, and driver.
I think Cruise is a menace that drives like a lost drunk senior citizen, but they may not be at fault in this case. The rules governing crosswalks in California are *mostly* clear, though the responsibility to yield to pedestrians does not make clear whether yielding requires mere allowance for unimpeded progress or full affordance of the crosswalk to the pedestrian when the crosswalk is lawfully occupied.
Any California traffic attorneys want to chime in?
The notch is a design concession to particular functionality, and it's not awesome. While it's arguably nice to have more of the front of the phone be screen, it's much tougher to contend that some of that extra screen should be wasted by a safe zone.
Now, the iPhone mute switch? That's something that every phone should have.
Most of the interviews of supposed Full Stack developers that I do are really people who have done some mild back end work in addition to web front end work, and maybe did some Windows app once.
A good full stack developer can get down to the metal and scale back end systems. They can consider HCI while also thinking about API abstrsction. Because they're good at math and abstraction, they're not scared by machine learning, stats, modelling....
The overwhelming majority of "full stack" developers are actually just developers that aren't particularly good at anything.
So, instead, I look for multi-domain specialists, developers who have moved through different job functions and business types. Maybe they did signal work, which became video, which became CV, which became robotics. Maybe they set up datastore which became policy layers and scaling, which folded in user interface.
Good devs are generally going to go deep or broad. Great devs are going to do both.
When interviewing, I explain that the problem could take us from scalable multi-site server back ends down to embeddeded headless systems. We don't know. Some devs freeze. Others smile nervously. Some raise their eyebrows while smiling and lean forward.
If I'm hunting for "full stack" I'm looking for the last one.
GPS works fine with airplane mode. I use it to check airspeed when sitting in window seats. There are GPS-only location apps for you to nerd out on individual satellite signal, etc.
It *did* have to be stated, but that is no longer the case. Inclusion of notice per regulations precludes certain infringement defenses (e.g. innocent infringement), but no notice is required by U.S. law.
If you've discovered some new application or approach in AI, there's no reason to believe that the same work couldn't be done by someone else. Because of that, disclosure of what is possible is valuable to the public at large. This isn't nuclear proliferation, where the work required to develop a weapon is necessarily large scale. This is highly scalable inference, and it is inevitable.
And if you uncork Skynet, well, publish and perish, I guess...
Which, combined with a particular penchant for "alternative dentistry", explains the high frequency in the UK?

If you sell $5 buckets for carrying water and *the same* buckets for $50 with a couple of minor tweaks for carrying wine, donâ(TM)t be surprised when people buy the $5 buckets and decide they theyâ(TM)re good enough to carry wine.
This points to either an artificial cross-market restriction (i.e. antitrust) or a wide open opportunity for competition. CUDA and CuDNN represents a substantial hurdle, though. Still, OpenCL *is* in early stages in some deep learning libraries. Hereâ(TM)s hoping it gets to parity (or close enough) to stop these sorts of abuses.

Whoa... Whoa... A minimum standard for skill? Lunatics, every one of them....
Code by random walk and user rating is the only way forward.

There is no such thing as a trusted wireless network.
After writing that down 100 times, learn what https, VPN, and SSH are there for.
Pfft.. That's like, the first day of play...
(I have two computers.)
Have you ever played The Sims 3? I'd expect that being forced to play that game daily would increase homicidal behavior substantially.
I wouldn't make it two weeks.
You are correct. What I meant to say was that I check groundspeed vs. airspeed on the airlines that show airspeed on the in seat screens.
Nitrogen triiodide?
That stuff is hilarious.
GPS works fine with airplane mode. I use it to check airspeed when sitting in window seats. There are GPS-only location apps for you to nerd out on individual satellite signal, etc.
Flying in airplanes can get pretty tedious.
Posterized.
Not true.

Absolutely true.
They have the data. They know what the values are. Why bother making ridiculous assumptions about a model?
I'd be very surprised if drivers are making minimum wage after factoring in costs.
1) What were your hours?
2) What was your income?
3) What were your costs?
Ta da!

I think he labelled you a Republican because you actually praised something but Trump might do.
Pro-tip: Trump is *almost always* wrong. If he was *always* wrong, his kids could use him to short stocks and run the table.
Accordingly, yeah, this actually isn't a completely awful idea in principle. In practice? Given where we are now?
