When I was a whippersnapper 15% down was considered pretty low. These days you can get pre-approved with less than 10% down and no validation that your downpayment isn't a loan itself. Kinda crazy.
Consumer debt (auto loans/credit cards) spooks me more than corporate debt, since that's the tentpole that's kept up spending with stagnant wages. Auto loans are especially sketchy, it's way too easy to buy a car you can't afford.
I mean XCode has been a terrible experience for a lot of devs (C++ in particular) for years. I completely avoid it, when you need it for a build just invoke it from the command line. Some of the other stuff is tricky to set up outside the UI so you need it, but other than that, XCode is not worth the hassle imo.
Real shame too. I've talked about this with some of their tools team I went to school with. I don't know what's in the water in Cupertino but I don't think Apple devs are getting the same experience out of XCode as their actual users.
IP isn't a tangible asset, so the analogy is unsound.
I think it's improper for someone not using IP or not the original developer of IP to be able to make IP claims. If you didn't develop the tech or aren't using the tech, you shouldn't have any claim over the usage of that tech.
The same goes for "defensive" patent strategies. They're an affront to the spirit of patents.
The whole point of Laplace is to make problems easier to solve by mapping linear differential equations to algebraic equations. To quote my dynamical systems professor, "you learned how to solve this in high school."
There is a bit of hand holding in engineering courses with it however. A lot of looking at transform tables, and maybe a few problems where you need to exploit the properties of the transform or remember its definition to solve a problem. That can trip people up, and it happens in the real world more often than you'd like.
>Though we intend to adapt our ideas to these frameworks, we view them as separate, orthogonal issues.
The authors should read about dynamical systems. I don't understand why the physics/controls folks, DSP folks, and ML folks don't read each other's papers. They're using the same math and using the same concepts. The latter two groups seem to be working together more often however.
Honestly I'd rather for all that communication to be handled by email and not phone calls. I'm not going to answer the phone either way, so it's not like it's any faster to reach me via phone than email. And the benefit is I don't need to write down what I hear or get tripped up on spelling with names.
Throwaway and vagueness for hopefully obvious reasons.
I was loosely involved in the production of this show. I didn't find out about it until after our contribution was finished.
If I had known what content we were working on I would voiced my concern. I'm deeply ashamed I had anything to do with this and if I had known, I wish I could have verbalized my objection and voiced concern over being affiliated with the reckless disregard the production staff has for a leading cause of death among people in America that has taken the lives of friends and family.
