editorializing:

(of a newspaper, editor, or broadcasting organization) make comments or express opinions rather than just report the news

News isnt to tell us how to feel. That's a pretty serious rule to break.

What is it with people saying we need to sugar coat, bubble wrap, and insulate our tender egoes from the reality of the world? Psychologists have a term for that. It's called denial.

Yeah. So if you skipped 60 seconds on a 30 second commercial you'd cut into your program. Hence the identification requirement.

How is it any different from ER doctor, coroner, social worker, or investigator?

It creates a time series of frequencies then checks a db for that same series. A problem that is easily parallelizable. Probably does some filtering first. It's a very useful and clever application, but not that technically challenging. The most amazing feat is they got access to the catalogs of the record labels.

I wish someone would do the same thing for commercials on TV. Auto detect the commercial and advance the DVR by its exact duration

Just find someone else who has it and ask to add your radio to their "family plan", it's only a couple bucks

Just because it can doesn't mean it's tolerable to have one core of their CPU eaten up just working on AES all day. Plus if it wasn't task set to a CPU you'd see massive latency hits on disk access even the CPU could keep up. The kernel still has to schedule the task and load balance.

I'm not your enemy. I don't even know you. So please send me your passwords to your online accounts. And I'd like to take a look at your home computer. So please install VNC and open your ports on the router so we don't waste too much time setting it up.

sampling inspection. Not a hard software check: `assert ( numWelds == 30);`

Or a camera that takes a picture of each vehicles undercarriage. They probably thought that was unnecessary until now.

That's not awesome that you hacked the system to prescribe yourself anything you want. At best you're going to get the least efficient path to treatment. At worst you could miss a serious condition and kill yourself.

That's a feature, not a bug.

There's clearly not enough in deposit to sustain this model. In the US, a large majority of people don't have enough saved to last 3 months.

How much does the transaction cost eat into the coupon though?

Suppose, for the sake of argument, that "coming for your jobs " is completely overblown and no different than automation throughout the previous decades.

Isn't there a separate shadow issue of lack of diversity in the market? I mean, we can't all be app developers, web designers, and project managers.

Sure, you say, there will always be non-tech jobs. Ok, like lawyers? That will be decimated by strong AI-as-a-service eDisocvery and legal analysis bots that replace paralegals and associates. So now the firm is a partner or two, and a $14/hr runner who drives to court and files motions.

Doctors? Ok they read their FDA-certified AI and make sure it's sane and send you to the ePharmacy where biometric auth and videos replace the pharmacist.

The cleaning staff at both offices are replaced by smart-bots that auto mop and empty trash. So each building has a security/facilities person.

Restaurants? Most have kiosks and a chef-bot. Just a hostess and manager to make sure the fryer doesn't burn the building down. Uber has long been automated.

So again, what's left? Government jobs most likely. And going back to my original supposition, let's ignore how people make their money. Can we all be "data scientists" using AI to analyze customer behavior at restaurant kiosks to apply predictive suggestions for their dessert? Can we all write websites for the small businesses (that don't exist because they can't afford the AI services that BigCorp has)? What happens when Google computes every last datapoint about us? Facebook has reached complete saturation and there's no new info to sell to advertisers. How would our economy function if there's basically one industry left? You can't compute analytics about yourself or sell website services to website service people.

Depends on your swimming ability. You can easily drown if you panic when large waves land on you and force water into your mouth/nose. or if you get swept out by a rip current and don't swim sideways and keep your cool.

Don't try it without a lifeguard nearby until you're experienced. Be confident momentarily being held underwater against your will. Never take your eyes off the ocean, because not all waves are equal in size or period. Personally I found that swimming out past the waves is the most difficult/frustrating (you need to be past them slightly in order to catch them).

Not all beaches are created equal. Some have exposed rocks, huge waves that can lift you and smash you directly into the sand (YouTube "the wedge, Newport beach" to see what I mean), or deadly currents. So research before you go.

That only saves a few characters. And "map" is already a data type in C++. How are you going to explain to a student that ambiguity, that you can "map a vector, but oh yeah map is also this container type" ?

Conceptually, I hate the word "map" to describe a transform. What does a real-world, paper map do? It associates locations drawn on the paper with real-world, physical places. That doesn't have any commonality whatsoever to morphing a group of objects. The term is misused.

How would you ensure nothing was used in the region after the original allocation?

The Nevada gaming industry is lobbing heavily to legalize them. So they can target younger demographics.

There are laws in the US that ban using any machine that enhances your ability to win, even if you never tamper with the machine. This covers attacking the RNG by analyzing past outcomes and predicting future outcomes of the machine. Not what the OPs post does, but just clarifying that you can be charged with cheating even if you don't tamper in the US.

It's troubling because when I worked there as a developer their journalists seemed to be really on their game. I loved the UX of their site, and the articles seemed thorough, well written, and always relevant.

What if there was a "cash back" rebate available inside the venue? So TM sells each ticket for $1000, and you get $500 back once you get inside? This would make it very expensive for scalpers to be left with extra tickets. There would still be the problem of preventing people from claiming multiple rebates but I think that's solvable.

> by offloading risk

Offload it straight onto the consumer. If I pay 2x the TM price from a scalper and the event is cancelled and TM offers "full refunds " I'm out the difference.

I think the ticket should be matched to a government ID or passport. Drivers licenses have barcodes on them. Sell cheap tickets that rewire ID and sell "unlocked" tickets for 2x as much.

It's the same effect though. Regardless of pathology.

I hope Los Zetas see the opportunity here. They could net a few million from running their playbook on a newly minted crypto-bro thinking he found a "haven" for his money.

Ah, so exploitation of the middle class is okay because it's only temporary. Gotcha.

Laws that exclusively protect shareholders. That's the problem. And most of the population doesn't have the resources to lobby Congress to roll back those laws the way financial laws were rolled back. The fault for that inequality lays squarely on our nation.

Often it's just that the two companies are aware of each other's policies. If they've heard of Company B and know it has a non-compete they just reject you.

You're woefully confused about the meaning of "personal attack". Calling out unsubstantiated claims is anything but personal. Faith based arguments are irrelevant and unwelcome here. Stay factual with your accusations and you won't have this problem.

Such a great land we live in where a CEO is investigated within weeks by criminal justice agencies for making a few tweets, but during the 2008 crisis other kinds of fraud (approving loans without verifying income, robo signing of "contracts") that cost people jobs, homes, and even lives, got CEOs unprecedented bonuses and billions in interest free loans to keep their ships afloat. God bless the USA.
