what was the timeline concept? (as someone who has never got into smartwatches in general)

doesn't all the controversy around fake news support the exact opposite of your claims that people are smart enough to only listen to reputable sources?

great project! would also be fun to have an editor and fold your own origami from a flat 2d plane, like an origami CAD engine :)

Taiwan, being a small island, seems counter to that pattern.

I think it's simply that the chinese gov't relies on maintaining a brand of virtually absolute control. Even publicly entertaining the idea of letting territories go would be a strong signal for weakness.

edit: maybe that's what you already implied by "Normal state imperatives"

I see 2 reasons. One, the whole point is to fully turn the driver role into a perfectly efficient commodity to reap rewards of zero marginal cost like typical tech companies. Two, remote driving probably involves some life threatening amount of lag.

isn't their "no commercials" policy just about serving other people's ads? I don't see how that's relevant here

But for people in general, just because they drink coffee doesn't mean they cannot also drink beverages with high sugar content or am I not getting your thought right?

"The new bill goes further by prohibiting employers, “orally or in writing, personally or through an agent,” from asking about an applicant’s previous pay."

according to the language in the bill, employers don't seem to be allowed to use those types of Equifax products anymore.

"However, if the applicant “voluntarily and without prompting” provides this information, the employer may use it “in determining the salary for that applicant.”"

...as long as you don't give it out yourself.

Maybe delete the apps that's you want to force limited exposure to.

Deleting my native Facebook app did me wonders. I can always use the website if I really want to but I naturally visit less frequently

let's say android or windows adopted swift. I don't think that would eliminate the biggest learning curve of dealing with the frameworks. in my experience, learning UIKit stuff was way trickier than swift. I imagine the same experience developing for other OS'.

not yet. right now ARKit feature points are not 'persistent'. Meaning, they are only really used to help track 3d space frame over frame (with the internal gyro). Getting a 3d map that can be shared with multiple people is another layer of complexity not yet integrated into ARKit

Can you provide high level details on the type of algorithms used to affect a persistent state? I ask because I think that is key to the execution at the UX level of apps in that platform. For example a semi dense slam layer on top of ARkit is worth it, but a corelocation/mapkit system is not because the precision is not high enough. (Although maybe if it's paired with a images recognition system to breach the gap in precision...)

What's the harm?

...because the music is the problem with Simpsons these days? smh

I know people who have worked in the big mobile gaming companies and I can tell you that you're not in their target revenue generating demographic. They have those gem bags for the 'whales' that will spend hundreds or even thousands on a game to offset all other lower or zero ROI users.

Power law strikes again.

blockbuster movies are a few times more expensive to make. also remember HBO is getting a subscription with recurring revenue. Roughly speaking, I think if their churn is low the ROI could be just as good if not better.

This paper from a while back acomplishes this too. https://github.com/chrischoy/3D-R2N2

because local maxima vs global maxima?

> that topic would not threaten his family so much as it would threaten his career

with what data or experience do have to make this assertion?

I thought vuforia was mostly just a marker based AR, which never really took off in the US market. ARKit is markerless and their VIO system is actually pretty good.

a while back I read about someone using such a system to stay in touch with contacts in their professional network. I forget the particulars, but basically he bucketed people he wanted to stay in touch with into (I think) weekly, monthly, quarterly buckets with max numbers of people per bucket and reached out to them at those respective intervals as a spreadsheet.

I think a mix of calendar, multi-channel communication monitoring system to keep track of people I keep in touch with packaged into a "daily task list" interface would be highly valuable for making sure I don't forget to keep in touch with important people in my network.

...vaping is the new smoking?

> the stocks could fall further before he liquidates that's what "stop-loss" trades are for :p

does robinhood not have that?

once 6DOF technology gets more advanced and more distribution, is there any use case or niche for 3DOF where it is actually the better solution?

The less important coal becomes on a global scale, the less infrastructure and expertise that will be maintained for extraction and processing. This type of lack of supply should drive up prices as well. Consider the ease of buying and maintaining a horse vs a car.

> The quality of local government schools (and therefore the good school's district) often is a large factor in house prices.

anecdotally i went through almost all of my k-12 in public school and it seems like the opposite: that areas with more expensive houses pay more in local taxes which fund nicer schools and governments. meaning the "quality" of the local government is a function of the wealth held by its residents. this is all to say that be it the local government or a privatized system, the education system seems very much beholden to their patrons, the rich families. i don't see why privatization would be a better alternative.

> I'm not sure that the government management of schools aligns the school's interests with long term goals.

saying that the current system isn't good enough doesn't automatically mean that some other system is better. the question remains.

I'm a layperson on these issues, but how would privatizing k-12 specifically solve the NIMBY issue? Also how do you align the long term goals of educating those kids with often short term profit motivated KPIs.

I've lived in the Bay Area for a little bit and another issue is the "not in my backyard" problem. What I understand of this issue is that the richer communities want to use rent-prices as a wall to keep low income and homeless away from those areas and out their school systems. None of them want to be the first to take a risk on the "value" of their neighborhoods at the expense of everyone else. Would the federal law you mention address an issue like this?
