If you complain too much at work about open plan distractions ruining your productivity, you'll see a pair of these on your desk and wish you hadn't said anything.
I love Macbooks. I hate where Apple has taken them. When my 2013 Macbook finally crapped out, my best option was seemingly to buy a used Macbook three years old to avoid the problematic butterfly keyboard. The fact that they stuck with their bad choices in the 2018 model is so demoralizing. Get it together, Apple.
I agree. I'd also like to see some before and after on images that were noisy on their own--not having noise artificially added. I understand the value of adding noise artificially--you have a perfect image to use as a definition of success for training. But to really judge the effectiveness, I'd want to see some non-generated noise. Their model might be trained to specifically to their noise generation. All that said... it's a cool project. I hate how slashdotters gotta be down on everything all the time.
It's a leap to say that the comment was "disingenuous". Facebook is a large company, with departments handling different things, some of which would be outside of Zuckerberg's knowledge. What he said at one moment can be in conflict with what his company does without it being a lie.
Not defending him or FB. I just wish people would write things more fairly.
There's no shortage of good content. Maybe if you watch a whole season of House of Cards in one sitting, you won't enjoy it as much as if you'd watched it spread out. But since you can immediately find other shows of similar quality to watch, then maximizing your viewing hedonism is done by binging. The limiting factor is just your time and how much of it you want to spend glued to a TV screen. If there is one thing in the world that I have no worries about, it's the entertainment industry's ability to feed us delicious screen candy.
Please clean up your space debris mess while you're up there? You know... from the time you blew up your own satellite like ridiculous assholes?
Thank you.
1. Pick a problem, any problem.
2. Claim it can be solved with laissez faire capitalism and will be worsened with any form of government intervention.
3. Ignore any evidence to the contrary.
In this article, the author acts as though the threat of data discrimination from cable and phone companies is fantastical speculation. But it's already happened, and so many times. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D... In most markets, people only have one or two choices for a broadband connection, so they can't vote with their dollars effectively to resolve the problem. Much as I enjoy the elegance of free market principles, the Invisible Hand is not gonna fix this one.
It means that in order for Reddit to be competitive in hiring, they will need to make a first offer (the fixed salary+benefits) that is at or above the market average. As a jobseeker, I can just look at what they have to offer and take it or leave it. No haggling. No drama. That sounds good to me! I'm decent at negotiating, but I don't enjoy it.
For jobs where negotiating skill is NOT part of the job, the negotiation ban should make hiring decisions better correlate with merit. And generally, I want to be surrounded with people hired for relevant merits, and not just good self-promoters.
You say you are not looking to collect money at any point in distribution. So what do you want? Maybe you want a lot of people to see the show. In that case, Youtube already serves you well for distribution, and you could just focus on advertising/promotion. Or maybe you want clout. Or having colleagues and connections. Or something else?
Here's a conspiracy theory for you: what if all the big spenders are just people buying stuff with stolen cards? Spending $10,000/month makes a lot more sense when it isn't your money. Plus, online purchases don't have the risks. So it seems like a logical place for stolen cards to be used.
It works. You have to give them credit - the process is extremely simple. I could see it taking off.
From a security perspective, it's not great. But it's also not as bad as some people here are making out. You don't send any information over email other than the email addresses of the sender and receiver, and sender's intent to send $x to seller.
Phishers are likely to pattern "you've got money" emails off of these Square emails to people. But these are just another variation on "give me info/money, so I can send you money" scams. Same common sense defenses apply--If you aren't expecting money from somebody, don't give out personal info.
And then there are more sophisticated man-in-the-middle attacks combined with spoofing the "you've got money" email or replacing content in it. Those are the ones I'd worry about, but they are also much harder to set up. When you go to your online banking website, do you worry about someone spoofing the whole site (or at least the login) and making the DNS point towards the spoofed site? I do, but not enough to stop using it.
So many times some kid has come up to me and said they wanted to learn to make video games. The trouble is that there's this giant gulf between the multimillion dollar games they play, and what they can actually do with newbie knowledge. When I was a teenager, (80's) I could see a game I loved like say... Ultima or Zork... and understand the steps leading up to me making that game. A little harder to find that maker's connection with Halo, Bioshock, Borderlands, etc. So maybe Minecraft can be a good bridge between the effort of programming and the rewards that are possible. A kid or some coming-up coder might get their feet wet writing some scripting for a game they love. So I'm all for it. Sounds great.
This is actually an Associated Press article by Maria Sudekum. See this link. Indiatimes.com didn't give credit to Maria or AP, which may mean they just snatched and reposted the content. I like to see the original author credited and let her reputation be affected (good or bad) by the quality of her work.
I don't know the guy's deal, but I wouldn't be surprised if he lived in that car. Hmm. Sometimes, it doesn't sound like a horrible idea to save up six grand and live in my car for a year. I'd have all the time I wanted to work on my own projects instead of working a 60-hour IT job.
Thanks for writing the article. I would have liked it if some concrete examples of patterns were described in the review (like you did for "antipatterns"). That would help me judge if there was much insight offered by the book.
I wouldn't do that. Original poster has described his history with the company. Effectively, he is no longer anonymous. Lawsuits could follow public statements here.
I work on in-vehicle systems and the servers that talk to them. There are plenty of existing, deployed services that combine external information with the location of your vehicle (e.g. concierge, route planning with points of interest, vehicle locator, charge station finder for EVs, geo-fencing, insurance scoring, and many more). For all of these, your location data must be sent to a server. And any in-vehicle system that provides at least some services that need vehicle location, will make a habit of sending the vehicle location along whether the owner is using those services or not, provided some kind of account activation has occured. Generally, the automotive manufacturers consider vehicle location data great for providing attractive services to their customers.
I've noticed restraint from auto OEMs on taking the data and using it for things other than the services offered to the users. And unlike webbish companies like Facebook, Google, or Twitter, the auto OEMs are focused on selling vehicles, not data. But that can all change if you fall asleep.
The networked collision detection stuff is interesting, but doesn't change the nature of the problem. The data is already being collected for boring old services from three years back.
Slashdot Mirror
The headline doesn't make logical sense to me. China and US are countries. Europe is a frigging continent. Also... I don't care.
They got the NY Times to write an ad for them. Eightfold's marketing department is doing a nice job. NYT writer--not so much.

Yeah, that was my question too. This seems entirely aligned with their interests, and they have joined efforts like this before.

Why is it a story that someone has a hypothesis? Do the tests, publish your findings.
Why would they say it's a 4D image? I'm going to count the dimensions they're using again. One... two.. three... Wait, are they counting time too?

Yeah, that's what I was wondering. Is this some dealmaking? I'm sure we will never know, but it seems to make sense.
...just a view of the basket that your head is going to drop into? Maybe there is an option to lay down face up towards the sky.

The car/robot is amazing. But Kenji needs to redo the video to use better lighting, camera, or something. Get a pro in there to shoot it.
