I tried this in the cursor terminal and it now flickers periodically but not like crazy.

I don't "really really" need the extra better life but I just bought a Ultra 2 on Amazon today because they were on sale and the 10 doesn't improve battery life at all.

I've been doing hikes that last 6-8 hours (I have little kids so we go slow, takes breaks etc) and pretty much every time my Series 8 either runs out our I have to really carefully conserve battery. I'm hoping the Ultra 2 will mean I can just record my hike and not worry about it.

I think the long term question for Apple is whether or not they can pull off another category-creating move at the level of the iPhone. I believe they will in the next 3-5 years therefore I am glad for the opportunity to put more money into AAPL less expensively.

I haven't liked active noise cancellation in the past. For office work I tried an old Bose quiet comfort (10 years ago) and decided I much preferred Sennheiser HD 280s for isolation.

Also I've heard bad things about the microphone.

Reading this I might actually buy these. I was pretty set against because of the fear of losing them. I've been annoyed on many occasions at not being able to use my lightning headphones with my Macbook Pro while traveling and I can see this being a superior option to any corded headphone solution. I use video chat a lot and using corded Apple headphones with a laptop is definitely awkward.

This is a case where these might actually make sense for me. I hadn't thought about the lack of cord making them more usable underneath hearing protection.

Any experience with my number one reason not for buying them which is the fear of losing them?

You may want to consider always flying the same airline, getting that airlines credit card and using it for everything, and purchasing a lounge membership to that airline.

If you do this and fly enough your experience will be much better. You can arrive to the airport later because you can use the elite/first class line at security. If you need to check bags there will be a priority line and finally if you need to change something you will have access to a priority phone line that is answered in a timely manner and the customer service agents in the lounges will help you quickly and effectively. Also, many change fees will be eliminated and you will occasionally be upgraded to first class.

Edit: they will also put special tags on your luggage that will cause it to come out first and get lost less.

Edit2: They will also treat you better on the plane. They have a list of where everyone with status is sitting and they make an effort to be nice. It helps if you are also nice to them.

It's nice to see the Unity SDK out. What I would love to see is support for unity3d with webgl.

The discussion of gradient descent was excellent. So far I'm quite impressed. As others have said the question is going to be whether you can succeed at building on this base in a way that makes the later topics accessible.

A nitpick is that you use the words "matrices" and "differentiable" at the end of chapter 2. Maybe this is okay because you are signposting that these concepts will be explained but if you are aiming for high school algebra level readers with some python experience this could intimidate people.

Amusing that he views something with a predicted chance of occurring at 25% actually occurring as a market failure.

He may be right that prediction markets are currently experiencing an anchoring effect that is slowing their response to changes in the factors that influence the outcome. If you believe this, maybe you should go buy Trump shares in various prediction markets. Personally I think that a long position on AAPL is a better undervalued position than Trump for President.

I wonder if this is why tonic water prevents night time cramps.

I did this and the first page is all incoherent claims about quadrillion of dollars.

Do you have a link that explains this conspiracy theory more concisely and clearly?

edit: appears to be the full article (scroll down past summary)

I couldn't agree more with the sentiment. It seems absolutely insane to sell a TV with a certain resolution and then make it very hard to actually use all the pixels.

Unfortunately on many devices it can be very difficult if not impossible to activate a pixel perfect display mode. Developers can't expect people to buy a new TV or track down obscure and poorly named settings on their TV so we are stuck with overscan.

I wonder what impact this will have on their Accelerated CV library.

It would be nice if this and whatever iOS equivalent they presumably have in development became free or cheaply available. It seems like this might not be in intels best interest though.

I hope Obama does something to resolve both the Snowden situation and get Chelsea Manning out of prison before he leaves office. I can't see what the downside is to him of doing the right thing at this point.

It's hard to feel sorry for Gawker here. Hogan was filmed having sex in private without his knowledge or consent and they ran the video anyways. This is both illegal and morally repugnant.

They brazenly violated the law in a way that hurt people and now they are trying to craft a narrative of powerful billionaires attacking the press without just cause.

If Forbes is right, Thiel did us all a service by taking out the trash. No one should have their sex life on public display against their will when they never gave permission or even had an expectation of filming.

When mutual funds release valuation estimates of closely held companies do they view this as an impartial exercise in determining the value or do they use these estimates to influence the decisions of their shareholders and the closely held company they are estimating the value for? It seems likely that they are using the valuation estimates as a tool within reason.

Also goose fat for ultimate deliciousness.

Edit: Geese might disagree but they're mean.

Some people like olive oil and it does do better than vegetable oil.

If your goal is to minimize aldehydes produced in cooking coconut oil is maybe best but can affect the taste. Lard and goose far are good alternatives that for some foods can provide a better taste.

I assume existing forks will still remain in the blocked users account but will no longer appear in the fork graph.

Is this actually O(1)?

Because the electricity has to to travel the shortest path it seems like it is at best O(shortest path length). The constant factor is of course very small.

This seems like it could be pretty amazing for developing and testing some of our backend computer vision tools directly in Windows.

What would be really amazing would be if you could use CUDA and cuDNN from Ubuntu executables in Windows 10.

I've wondered why the fresh orange juice machines you see in Spain commonly are never seen in the United States. Is there a food safety law that prevents this or is it just a matter of preference?

Can anyone explain the issue here and what the potential implications are? As far as I can tell the npm client code isn't under a problematic license and you don't agree to any terms of service unless you use the service.

Yeah Wild seemed like a good film but I didn't like how much they got wrong. I'll check out Do More With Less per the other poster's suggestion.

Was it even a good movie? I've heard pretty negative things about. I'm a fan of long distance walks but I've been reluctant to see the movie thus far.

0 + other digit = other digit

9 + other digit = (other digit -1) + 1 = other digit

I don't know if there is a good way to quantify this other than it is a basic property of base 10 when you are basically looping around the basis. The other post illuminates on this in that it would be E for hex or 5 for base 6.

Because adding 9 to any other digit will produce 1 and the other digit - 1. Add these together and you have the original other digit. Because your rule necessitates repeating until you only have 1 digit it doesn't matter when this resolves itself.

For example: 9 6=> 1 5 => 6

Put another way, a nine will bump up the 10s place by one and lower the ones place by 1. These cancel out.
