Do your children a favor and get them a "real" computer with keyboard and mouse, instead of a tablet. I've found it helps with several things. For one, I've seen children accustomed to using touch interfaces blurring the

20 years is still too far out. There should be absolutely no investment in combustion engines starting about 10 years ago, but the auto makers decided to invest in diesel and SUVs. I don't see why we need to pay with our health and our

Except when it doesn't. We've had data corruption issues related to oplog, out of sync secondaries and excessive resource usage on the primary. As far as major problems. There were also a bunch of smaller problems but in fairness

Perhaps not logical, but of great emotional importance. Having kids know no one will read what they have to say is in effect telling them what they do isn't important, isn't worth the time to read... I remember a few times when I

It's weird that what is luxury today was once the norm: organic produce, a stay at home parent, natural (as opposed to synthetic) clothing, etc. I won't be surprised if having human teachers / caregivers will be reserved for

It's not too far from that joke. It's like if you ask "how do I drive my car downtown" and I answer, "Easy, just park at the station and take the train". To answer your other question, their marketing goes a lo

There's a big difference in active and passive screen time. I got into computers in the early 90s and back then there was always a certain hands on aspect to it. From installing RAM to clearing drive space or making custom boot disks..

To me, a friend is an equal, and someone you can count on. My sons are not my equals, and I'm not their friend. This doesn't mean I don't show love or affection, just that I don't expect the same kind of support from the

In the great scheme of things we're related to octopuses, but not nearly as closely as other mammals. Also birds, the direct descendents of the dinosaurs and more distantly related to us, can be incredibly intelligent. See toolmaking i

Sorry, forgot to mention this would be for street level recognition. I don't think aerial views would work for that application, perspective issues notably.

Great article. I'm working on a project to identify buildings, and it seems this technique would apply. Does anyone know of a good buildings dataset, or a pretrained network? 3 million images is no easy task to find... Thanks!

Was not aware of this, thanks for the info. Do you know if their enterprise edition is based on cloud or server?

It's the other way around. The law protects according to point of access (EU soil), not according to nationality. So an American tourist in France would be protected, but not a French tourist in the US. This is just like most laws, whe

Tesla does not agree with the on obvious then. Drivers don't have access to all their data ; Tesla releases data when convenient for them, like to show the driver was at fault.

Have you used any of the Qt based client? I'm asking because I'm interested in Matrix, the idea and the protocol look great but there is no way I'm using an electron app...

In principle, the US government represents the will of the people. Government officials may be corrupt and in the pockets of corporate interests, but clinging to power is an even bigger motivator. If enough voters demand something, they are

Yes, it's difficult if not impossible to live in most places in the US without a car, the only real exception I can think of is NYC. However, it has nothing to do with the size of the country, it's in the way towns and cities are

Interesting then to note that Norway, where the oil company is majority owned by the government, also has the largest per capita fleet of electric cars.

Thanks much for your detailed reply. If I understand correctly, the way to do this is to: 1) Use PostgreSQL's built-in aggregate functions and/or Timescale API (time_bucket?) to feed rollup tables; 2) Delete the raw, non-aggregate

We're looking into Timescale to replace our InfluxDB servers as we've found InfluxDB to be resource-hungry, the lack of open source clustering is also a problem. The use of PostreSQL in Timescale is a big selling point, it's

It works in India, but you need to ask at least 5 people and go with the majority opinion ;-)

There's a few pure electrics out there: BMW i3, Renault Zoe, Nissan Leaf are probably the best selling ones. And all of those have instruments panels...

The company I work for creates STB software, and while we do use a large number of open source components the message from above is to avoid GPL where possible. Any use of GPLv2 must be signed off after review, GPLv3 is simply banned. Unfor

That's not a pure microservices approach, since you are sharing state (the database). It means that any development which changes or is impacted by a change in the DB has to be coordinated between teams. The microservice approach is to
