It also doesn't have near enough protein for someone who is actively working out, so they're going to need to supplement it, too:
People that don't tend to work out need around 0.8g / kg; but, people that do work out tend to need 1.2-1.4g / kg a day.[1]
I'm not the author; but,
1) "I can't work on it, myself"
2) "It'll have terrible resale value" considering the life of batteries
3) It's definitely going to have a computer in it, and probably be phoning home all the time and that data could be siphoned to find out where I've been and how fast I've gone.
4) Cars with modern computers are scary easy to hack
5) I just don't drive
6) I haven't driven an electric car and so I have biases
7) I do very long road trips with very short pit-stops. Electric cars will never be able to do that (for some size of 'ever')
8) I'm over 60, and the technology won't be where I want it by the time I'm likely to leave this earth.
9) (added) I don't think we'll need to own electric cars. I think Uber or some other company will send out electric cars to us that will drive autonomously to their destination, and I think this will happen before I need to buy a new car.
There's several potential reasons.
And a car that fills up while you're sleeping. Still my favorite feature of electric cars.
I don't know. I wrote up a longer comment; but, when I was typing it up, I realized that I don't know, I don't even have the beginning of an idea.
I think the BMW 3-series will hold it's buyers pretty well, though. There's just something, especially in the tech community, about owning a BMW 3-series. They might as well be the Toyota Corolla of some parking lots I've seen.
The low end luxury market are engineers, doctors, etc. and they will seriously consider buying a minivan or a SUV or whatever instead.
I would say this is a big "it depends". I think I'm in that low-end luxury market. I paid 36k for my car, when all is said and done. I absolutely did not consider minivans or SUVs, and for one really big reason: I don't have kids. Kids aren't even on the horizon. When I look at minivans and SUVs, I think of mobiles that, while great people movers are, generally, not very fun cars to drive (there are some amazing Mazdas and Acuras in this collection, though).
I bought a Subaru WRX, because I like the way it feels; but, I am VERY excited about this new Tesla, and I completely believe that the next car I purchase, bar getting a huge amount of money that I can choose to not be practical with, is going to be an electric card, and is also probably going to be a Tesla.
I have a friend who owns a 90k Infiniti. He prefers luxury more than I do; but, he's 100% on the Tesla bandwagon and is very excited at the prospect of owning one. He'll be one of the first in line when they announce the price.
I have another friend, similar market. He owns an Audi ... A5? S5?
Barring my infiniti-owning friend, we are people that like cars and want a little extra. We definitely do exist, and I suspect many of us will be looking very intently at that Tesla.
DVDs used to be region-locked, so probably.
Not the answer you wanted, not the answer that seems fair, but probably the technically right answer right now, until this situation changes.
I'm a backend developer;
and, for a long time, I worked on side software projects; but, when I get home, I'm often so tired from coding all day that I don't program as much at home anymore. Lately, I've been learning to play a midi-controller and maybe make some music :)
What about when you have student loans? That reduces your effective income and makes it more difficult to afford a home. Same with a car.
While true, unless there are extenuating circumstances (weather, limping car, etc), it's better to drive near the speed limit.
Much of the danger in driving occurs when there's a substantial difference in speed between cars. (I imagine the second most common time there's an accident is when cars are going almost exactly the same speed[1]). Driving 10 under can be very dangerous.
[1] my thinking here is that if you have 2 cars going almost exactly the same speed, but one is sitting in the other's blindspot, then one of them can attempt to change lanes and the other might miss it and suddenly accident.
Because he had to explain a situation where a driver in front of him caused a very dangerous situation and felt he had to respond in that way?
As much as I love driving, there will be many improvements when we don't have to drive to get to our jobs and things anymore. I'll get to go and play on a race-track, sure; but I won't have to be all hands on deck at 8 or 9 in the morning with everyone else who woke up 30 minutes to an hour ago.
He said tail-gating as in 3-4 car lengths. Admittedly, that is tailgating for a vehicle that takes forever to stop; but, this isn't the big scary monster right behind you situation. They're further back, but just as unable to stop
My biggest trouble with cyclists at night, as a driver, has always been the ones that don't have any lights on their bike. Sometimes the reflectors don't even reflect very brightly (or aren't present).
When a bike is all lit up, I have no trouble seeing and reacting appropriately to them.
I'm probably not a typical driver, though.
I believe this was a change in the last maybe 10 years. Before the current line-up of S40's and S60's, their cars looked almost offensively boring (to me); and, with ugly faces. With the new S40's and S60's, I think they are downright pleasant to look at.
This may be my perception of that particular coming out of an old generation of looks, and catching up to the current one, though.
I kept wondering that as well. I'm wondering if this was a different time, or if it's just a fun story
Just about everybody knows it stands for "International Business Machines,"
I didn't. I imagine my mom probably didn't, though she would say "that makes sense". My uncle most likely doesn't. I imagine my tech friends don't know, either.
It has pushed to allow truck drivers to work 82 hours a week, up from the current 70 hours over eight days.
Please tell me that's a typo. PLEASE tell me that's a typo. 82 hours a week is insanity. Driving any vehicle requires a lot of attention, driving a large one requires a LOT more attention. And I just have a strong certainty that, if it's anything like every other industry, it'll be 82 hours a week, every week, no breaks.
You want accidents and injuries? Make people drive more than 16 hours a day (5 days a week). Or maybe 13.67 hours a day (6 days a week), or even still 11.71 hours a day (7 days a week). Every week.
Wow.
It's part of the new verbage of the internet. Similar examples include: https://www.reddit.com/r/earthporn
Regarding backpropagation and training sections of the NN at different times, there are other training algorithms. Evolutionary training algorithms come to mind, and you could really evolve any section you wanted. You could even train the output of each layer one by one to represent a certain form of input to the future layer.
I do quite a few things alone, myself and I do generally tend to have a good time. In some cases, I actually have a better time than I expect I would with others.
I like to go on drives into the middle of nowhere, usually deciding what turn to take when I take the turn. Some other person would just be sitting in the car blinking as I thought that one dirt road with no one on it was /the best/ turn to make at this second.
Or, I'll go to the zoo, and take photographs; but, that's not something that's very fun to do with other people. I fear they'll get bored as I decide to sit by a single animal enclosure for the next two hours, just waiting for the creature there to do something photo-worthy.
I also often go out to eat alone. I have weird feeding schedules, and sometimes I want to eat somewhere nice, so ... bleh. I actually don't feel too bad about eating alone, but sometimes it could be quite a bit more fun to do it in a group.
I do prefer to see movies with friends, though. There's the discussion about the movie immediately after seeing it that I quite enjoy.
I also prefer to participate in extreme sports with others. Maybe not going with them the whole time the extreme sport is happening; but, there is safety in numbers in an activity that you could literally die from.
..
Long story short, for people that haven't done things alone for the awkwardness reasons. I encourage you to try it. It can be quite a lot of fun, depending on the activity.
Often people separate the first half of that, though.
Chapter IV, titled, "In Which Our Protagonist Meets A Dashing Strange." is how I imagine many read that, especially when Chapter IV is in big letters, or even without the word "Chapter", like a title, with the rest of it in what would be recognized as a subtitle.
Yes, please! Someone with more knowledge on the subject please enlighten us! It looks really cool to me, but I don't know enough to start a conversation, heh!
Java's Runnable interface was an example of this in practice. Rather than passing a function, you passed an object whose primary purpose was to carry around a function that would be called.
DoSomething(func() { ... })
DoSomething(new Runnable() {
public void run() { ... }
});
class MyAction implements Runnable {
public void run() { ... }
}
DoSomething(new MyAction());You can also do it over just one function that takes in a variable that modifies behavior.
Imagine you have a closure with a function that takes in a string and a list and returns a list. Depending on implementation of the function, you could have the string be the operation you wish to perform. The method name, and the list be the parameters. The returned list is the output.
Getters could pass an empty list and return a list with one entry
Setters could pass a list with a value and return an empty list
And so on :)
Like this:
func NewClosure() func(string, ...float64) []float64 {
x := float64(0)
return func(method string, args ...float64) []float64 {
if method == "setX" && len(args) > 0 {
x = args[0]
return nil
} else if (method == "getX") {
return []float64 { x }
} else {
panic("invalid method")
}
}
}
a := NewClosure()
b := NewClosure()
a("setX", 50)
b("setX", 12)
fmt.Printf("a.X = %v, b.X = %v", a("getX")[0], b("getX")[0])
I like it.
[edit: added working example .. and realized I'm adding to what my parent poster was saying]
I'm not sure this is accurate, especially in the case of cancers. Doctors were part of the studies with at least one person I know.
The comments are suggesting that this is niche. I don't think it's niche at all. On products I've worked on, I've frequently declared that all usability testing should be done when you're exhausted and grumpy. You don't tolerate
* pointless process,
* extraneous fields,
* improperly labeled things,
* poor ordering,
* sloppy UX flow,
* excessively accurate controls,
* super-tiny buttons,
* things when you're like that.
I think it's a lovely idea and more systems should be designed with that in mind.
Drunk, I might be able to operate a computer as well as my grandmother; so, if it can support me drunk, it can support my grandmother.
I'm a little frustrated with this article, but not for the reasons in the article. The doctors were angry at their patients' family members for putting them through the suffering; but, ... that form of suffering is just where medicine is right now.
Medicine is evolving, and growing; and, it's that desire to keep living and to keep those around you living, and to improve their well-being that has, in part, grown our medical abilities to the point they are now.
It feels like some of those improvements that, right now only provide a '15% chance of survival, and include pain', will be the stepping stones for 20, 30, 80 or 90% chance of survival, with varying levels of pain, including 0.
The article seemed to suggest that the doctors didn't approve of those intermediate steps, but ... those are the steps medicine takes, aren't they?
I dunno. I respected the rest of the article. That part of it bothered me.
This was /exactly/ the situation that I was going to write a thought about, though I replaced stalkers with abusive ex-relationship partners for a more visible display of concern (and admittedly an appeal to more extreme possibility)
May I recommend LoJack? It works better than pictures
It's nice to see that not all of the claims made that turned out to be false were in the negative.
e.g:
Automobiles will start to decline almost as soon as the last shot is fired in World War II. The name of Igor Sikorsky will be as well known as Henry Ford's, for his helicopter will all but replace the horseless carriage as the new means of popular transportation. Instead of a car in every garage, there will be a helicopter.... These 'copters' will be so safe and will cost so little to produce that small models will be made for teenage youngsters. These tiny 'copters, when school lets out, will fill the sky as the bicycles of our youth filled the prewar roads. - Harry Bruno, aviation publicist, 1943.
Furthermore, I notice that's by an aviation publicist; and that just happens to lend to my other comment / question:
How many of these people were paid to have the stance that they had?
So does this mean that an artist makes more money when I /don't/ choose Google Music, because they get paid per advertisement shown when I load their video?
... this makes me sad.
