Ford was working on autonomous stuff before Argo though, from what I understand. Argo was bought I think in hopes that they could significantly advance their tech with startup ingenuity. It's a bit disappointing because I think it's a good testing platform to develop these vehicles in Detroit given our variety of weather and road conditions that would be great for applying all of this in non-ideal conditions, but all I ever see in this city are May Mobility shuttles.
I don't think Waymo is really all that much ahead. Their testing is largely still in very ideal areas. Arizona has been attracting firms not just because they passed some permissive laws, but also because it's a place with lots of sunlight and relativity mild weather compared place like the Great Lakes or the Northeast. Same goes for California. Their progress however looks much better because they're really aggressively testing this stuff in ideal real-life conditions, but I think even they are a long way off from deploying those vehicles to places like Michigan year-round (a state that also has allowances for autonomous driving).
So, according to your article, 29% of Canadians had to wait 4 or more hours, whereas 24% of Americans did, so I'm not seeing much comparative improvements and I'd hypothesize that long ER wait times are not to do with which healthcare model you have, it has to do with misuse of ER. Meanwhile, France, Germany and the Netherlands all had outstanding numbers, and as far as I know they all have universal coverage.
How useful is the info gathered from an attack like this? Does it depend on the specific method (e.g., contactless card versus something like Google Pay) how compromising the information is? I was under the impression that by having virtual cards and the service itself to contact, Google Pay had something of a buffer from attacks like this.
Unfortunately, virtually all CS programs have become Software Engineering programs save for their names. The actually thinking and theory behind it is often more of a side note as educational institutions focus on teaching students how to use specific tools that are popular at the time, leading to many people having a good idea of these specific tools, but no idea on their actual design implications or how anybody actually realized how to do these things.
Sadly, if you want to learn proper theory (what I consider to be CS) you have to get lucky and find a mathematics program that has electives so you can focus on things like discrete mathematics and information theory.
Yeah, this seems pretty dodgy when they're showing just pure bolivar expenditure. I think cryptocurrency could probably be a good deal for Venezuelans right now, too. It avoids being subject to poor economic decisions by their government while still also avoiding being at the mercy of an economic hegemon. The more likely case though is that they're probably primarily using USD, along with other regional currencies, far more than cryptocurrency. They're a lot easier to use, too, than cryptocurrency.
I get this feeling that the displayed images just won't be the same, not the least because they'd just be flat images instead of what you see when you normally look out. As someone who regularly requests window seats this doesn't appeal to me in the least, but I don't fly Emirates so I guess it doesn't really matter. I suppose I might be in the minority, though, of people who love just staring out the window, especially on takeoff and descent.
Do you plan to support this down the line? I feel like compilers that compile down to Rust could become really good tools depending on how the popularity of the language goes.
This isn't a really important question, but why the name Cannoli? I feel like you missed an opportunity here to call it "PycRust". (c standing for "compiled to" of course)
I personally don't like relying on my browser for notifications. I like having native apps because usually fine tuning notifications for them is easier in that respect, things that while I imagine are possible through the web browser, probably aren't going to be done on a web app. It's also just an organizational thing since I don't like to have a list of a bunch of tabs, but having a handful of apps isn't too bad to navigate through.
Just because there's been a lot of progress in making web apps do things that were more natural for native apps, doesn't mean that it's the best way to go about something.
I get the wish for more support for web apps, though. I just switched over from a near 4-year-old phone that was replete with security updates and other un-removable stuff in the storage which prevented me from having a lot of apps installed (especially as so many insist on a large footprint in internal storage), so I increasingly used my web browser to access things. After the switch, though, you can bet I downloaded a bunch of apps I had deleted.
Yeah, there's certain things that native apps make a lot more sense for (e.g. messaging apps like Facebook Messenger where you want notifications to come up similar to text messages), but certain things really don't need anything more than the mobile website you look at (for example, at least for some people, mobile Wikipedia over the app).
Any cancer is related to age in the sense that the older a person is, the more opportunity they've had to encounter it. I suppose the best way to look at it is see how many cumulative years a population represents: if a population is getting older on average, then the cumulative years have risen, therefore there's been more opportunity to encounter this disease.
That's a different take on mathematics than many people I've met who study it. For me, mathematics is an extension of philosophy, geared towards finding intrinsic truth in a quantitative domain, and it just happens to have applications.
> By that logic, we should limit owning and operating a motor vehicle to special car parks because we're scared of the mental fitness of our fellow citizens. Why take the risk?
We do regulate where you can drive a car, though. Large swathes of cities can block off the use of cars in certain areas, and of course you're only allowed to drive them on the road, according to strict regulations. We even have a licensing and registration system for cars that says you can't drive one unless you pass a test, and that your car must meet certain specifications to be road-legal and actually get registration.
It would also be extremely difficult to impose the kind of regulation we have around cars, on guns. It's extremely unpalatable politically. While we ban certain modifications (though a lot of those bans have expired) typically there's no mandatory registration, save for some states.
That's a problem with the model, though, not math itself. People who attribute divinity to mathematics aren't considering these types of things as its the application of math into another field, not an intrinsic truth within the field of mathematics.
> And then one can ask “what is the domain of mathematics?” or even “does mathematics have a domain?”, questions which lead us into a “philosophy of science” discussion with no end in sight.
I think these are useful conversations even if we can't foresee them ending. It's what's helped us move physics beyond stuff like Newtonian mechanics where we expect things to line up with these nice equations, and apply math in a more appropriate fashion to our observations. i.e. We treat math as something we apply to our observations, and reconsider models as we run into problems, as opposed to demanding our observations line up with our initial model.
I see you have not watched La Casa de Papel (or, as they have recently creatively rebranded it in English, "Money Heist"). Yeah, it wasn't produced by Netflix, but they stick their branding on it and have numerous errors in the subtitles.
In my opinion this is less of a gap and more of a misapplication of what mathematics is. Mathematics isn't a tool for describing human behavior, though social sciences may use results of mathematics (and I would argue to much greater accuracy than they'd otherwise have) and the fact that mathematics can't describe human behavior is not due to gaps (results of mathematics are consistent with reality, as far as I'm concerned) but because we aren't answering questions in the domain of mathematics.
The physical observations, though, I'm still waiting on an answer from OP about that. It's fairly weasely to say something like that with no example.
What kind of gaps do you mean? As someone who studies mathematics, I feel like this is a vague criticism I've seen some make without any concrete justification.
Nobody is suggesting they're doing that. They're saying Uber cuts corners to save a dime among other unethical practices (like stealing research from competitors).
I would argue it's also useful for new team members in general, or for teams that have in the past been unorganized. At my current job I've spent a lot of time refactoring code so that there's some more unity among everything, because everybody does their own thing and doesn't really collaborate, which makes maintenance a pain in the ass. Something like this that kind of forces people to work together and create some kind of unified style could be very beneficial.
Not to mention when I've seen experience developers show something they've been working on for the past two weeks, only to be told what they've shown is a disaster because they never had any other eyes on it to question their design decisions.
Kind of makes me think of the divide in opinion on modern wage inequality. I'm still not sure whether to think it's purely because of women not being in as well paying positions or whether discrimination within the same job is a significant player, because I see conflicting reports.
