Because truth is subjective.

"Trump is racist" a statement of fact. But it's entirely subjective.
Similar in Europe. It's a big concession that some exams allow "four-function calculator", and those are generally not allowed elsewhere except sometimes you'll have a teacher make a class concerning using a calculator... and that's it.

Graphing calculators are something you either are very enterprisey about, or something you start dealing with in university. My father's Casio FX series was good enough with its "record buttons" programming and basic graphing.

The few times we went above and beyond with tools, it involved playing around with Maxima in high school to ease up simplification and equation solving, but we had to be careful to not become dependant on it - after all, exams allowed a 4 function calculator only.
Similarly, a single neuron in your brain has no particular feelings toward neurons in your friend's brain.
People should be allowed to be wrong. It's that simple. If you disagree with this you're not a very good person (fact).
>I just can't get my head around why political speech is permitted to be false..

What do you mean by 'permitted'?

Facts within the political sphere need to be interpreted with the lens of your political ideology because politics are not a rational game. Political beliefs are emotional even if the proponents claim otherwise. For example, take the statement "Homelessness in San Francisco is due to rising inequality, cost of living, and gentrification." .. How does Facebook apply a truth value to that? What do you think the truth value of that statement is? What do you think your ideological opposite would claim?

>Have Facebook ever actually given any solid reasons for this decision?

It's obvious. Politics are toxic, divisive and emotional. ANY decision you make is guaranteed to piss off a large segment of your users.
All points a valid and will be addressed in the upcoming versions.
I've built and deployed more ASP / SQL Server (or occasionally Access!) than I care to remember; I'm doing more ASP.Net now, after some time on desktop apps in between. Either way, I've never had reliability issues.
Sorry, my post was a bit of an early morning coffee fueled rant.

I was really replying to the usual "I did CS and they didn't even mention RoR" posts that usually pop up when anyone mentions CS on a development oriented forum.

If you have done a course and appreciate what CS is and you are confident in your skills then it sounds to me like you have done the right thing. In my experience the absolute best people I have worked with have been been fantastic natural developers who also had a good CS education - but this only pays off in technically difficult areas - either because the domain is complex and/or the solution is complex.
OK, I admit that sounds awesome. It actually sounds like you covered most of the "computer sciency" stuff my CS program covers, just in fewer/more condensed courses. Did you study operating systems in depth, like deadlock, page replacement strategies, file systems, etc? That's one of the big courses in my program, and frankly one that I think should be reorganized. Knowing your way around a Unix system is pivotal, but it's difficult to teach in one semester or in a textbook.

The group project stuff in theory sounds awesome, but I'm not very social with most classmates, even the CS people I see every semester, and I generally groan whenever I hear that there's going to be a group project that requires out of class meetings with random students.

All in all, I don't think my program and yours could exist distinctly at the same university. They would just be subtly different emphases, and it sounds like the fundamentals would overlap so much that having two different majors would be mostly nominal.
Wow, that really is a better example. Not only does the text and navigation change sides, and not only do the three adverts at the bottom swap around, but even the content in the ads moves.
if f is the logistic function, then neural networks basically correspond to logistic regression.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_regression

which has been around since the 1940s... (multilayer neural networks correspond to hierarchical logistic regression--just plug them together). this should be in any reasonable stats book.

if you mean mathematically sound in terms of learning, etc, then chris bishops "neural networks and pattern recognition" is pretty good, full of sage advice and justification.
The hacking group, Goatse Security

Amazing that kids have come of age in the Goatse era and named themselves for it.
The HP Slate will run Windows 7.

For most of the past ten years, a processor that could run full Windows with reasonable power consumption did not exist. They do now.

Previous tablets were based around handwriting processing, which was also terrible.
This is why apple exhorts devs not use UUIDs in public-facing services. Too bad they didn't let AT&T in on the secret...
I agree. Youtube was (and still is?) an LLC.
Absolutely true. Dropbox is one hell of a cloud backup solution. With Dropbox iPhone app, I have all my important files with me in my pocket.

Does anybody have numbers on their current free/paid users?
I cannot even eat food high in trace amines or I get anxious as all get out and I am up all night. Seriously, chocolate gives me insomnia. So I have no idea how someone could handle these drugs.

I think this happens to me for two reasons. I am low in BH4 which limits my ability to metabolize amino acids down the common pathway and thinks like phenylalanine get metabolized dow the alternative pathways creating PEA and Tyramine. But also I have the mental illness associated changes in TAAR1 and VMAT1 and VMAT2. (I have schizoaffective Bipolar Disorder.)

I never understood why people would want to take drugs to see the shit and live the suffering I have all my life but that's where we are...
I don't think we can. What is (or isn't) revenge porn? Are we policing that effectively? Do people get in trouble for posting cute pictures of their kids in the tub?

We should get away from thinking that moderating perfectly is the goal. There is no way we could even decide what perfect moderation is, let alone carry it out. Our goal should be "mostly effective", or something like that.
Egoless programming is not about being asshole to developers. Nor about stroking own ego by phrasing things in the most insulting way possible.
Repackaged straw men, in the form of several narratives that describe the exact same thing.
Yes... Have you tried disabling Hyperthreading?
Also, I'd recommend buying it from Apple's education store for $100 off if there isn't anything cheaper. It's $200 off at Microcenter sometimes as well.

A few counterpoints,

Speculation for IDOs usually requires directly interacting with the contract with your wallet. Likewise new tokens are found on DEXes which requires taking custody of the token.

Borrowing against crypto, leveraging it, going delta neutral, buying options are all available on chain, typically with better yields, and with a higher variety of tokens.
>Watching videos in 4k60 has very low CPU usage if any thanks to excellent hardware acceleration with modern browsers

This is in no way exclusive to Apple.
The bottom bars of the mobile IE10 look really awkward. That button distribution and mis-alignment...
The US government's system of justice seems increasingly opaque, arbitrary, and solely for the purpose of maintaining the status quo and those already in power.

Meanwhile, much worse crimes by those in power such as torture go unpunished.
"commonly understood usage"

That means they do have meaning. I'm sorry if you had trouble understanding the meaning of the words in the post. I think everyone else got it, though.
Drones are too expensive for local deliveries. The current method of dropping it in a street corner mailbox works rather well for packages up to 8 ounces, which covers pretty much anything you'd be selling over a website.
As they say, a lot of classified stuff and closed-source code remains classified and closed not because it contains important secrets, but because those who hold the lock feel too ashamed and embarrassed to show the contents.
Hmm. Should past threads be automatically linked to posts?
Bad idea?
I had to go on a fishing expedition to find a token ring card that had Linux drivers (IIRC it was an ISA bus) for my shiny new pentium pro machine back in the mid 90’s.

Those were the days, ‘hey boss, can i build a machine? sure, get a quote for the parts and send it over.’ Nobody gave a shot that it want a standard build it that nodding but me had root, etc etc.
>In Telegram you can delete or edit every messages you want whenever you want...

I'm always gobsmacked when people cite this as a positive. I'm a [mostly] happy user of Telegram. But this is the single stupidest 'feature' of the app. The only person who should be able to decide to delete data off my devices is me. No-one else. Full stop.

Remember the furore when Amazon were caught deleting books off people's Kindles? Everyone was rightly outraged by that. Yet so many people think it's a great idea that Telegram allows other people to arbitrarily delete content from your devices.
There were a few systems for the 2600 that used a cassette tape to load larger games than would fit on a ROM cassette.

I can’t recall the name, but I had the hack and slash adventure game variant. The connector on the custom cartridge was fiddly and required a stout rubber band to reliably work.
Clojure is so close. I never understood why it went for a special form rather than proper TCO.
not yet man. its in progress
Pretty sure it does and always did ask for confirmation. The quote doesn’t say “with only one click”
Wait, what? I'm out of the loop there. Is that a meme, or is Taylor Swift really saying this?
See www.corbettreport.com for more information (and the way out of the Matrix). I think I'm shadowbanned already, but maybe you'll see this anyway.
Certainly Haskell, for example, is one of the few languages richly endowed with a non-existent module system, but I personally don't know of a distributed computing environment that does preserve types across machine boundaries in any language. I must be missing something, please enlighten.

If type preservation in distributed computing was a trivial engineering problem it would have already been solved and widely used. As it stands Akka is enjoying fairly widespread enterprise adoption in the distributed computing market, untyped-ness notwithstanding.

Interestingly, as saryant points out, Akka 3.0 apparently will be typed, although I was under the impression that the typed actor project was experimental/a long way off/not a sure thing. Guess things have changed for the better...
I just started reading Seneca. Also reading some Zen stuff too. I don't think it's about voluntary discomfort, but just non-attachment to the comfort. You can go out in the cold and it's not good or bad, just cold. If it's warm, it's just warm. You can unhook the normal response system and just experience things directly without labeling them good or bad. It certainly does make you appreciate comfort.
Why not be more up front and name your post this instead:

Exactly what I feel. I hope an epub version comes because then I can adjust the line spacing and margins.
Maybe virtue is subjective, and nature doesn't really care about good or bad.

If one projects his moral values, and is not able to think neutrally, it's going to lead to a biased knowledge.
Cool. If I had to choose I'd wrap the simple py implementation in a PL/Python UDF.

It was their website that forecasted their death. Soo terrible for years. Their search was plain awful. I remember their green mainframe computers at the returns counter.

Fry’s was dying, but it had all the opportunity to reinvent itself like Best Buy.

In fact, they were the first to offer price matching on electronics with online retailers

Their space was also underutilized. Large mega stores, a place kids love, going into Frys should have been an experience, and it didn’t modernize.
When I visit with a browser on my phone it says that AskHistorians is only accessible via the app, unless you use old.reddit.com or some other route.
It definitely depends on industry location. In the big tech centers, 10% avg increase over time would be, well average (Seattle, Austin, NY, Boston, bay area). I was shocked when I learned my last company was paying new college grads more than 100k. Then it got to be 120, 130 (total comp, salary, bonus, stock). I think the starting salary could have gone up 10% a year. This was a company that wasn't a faang but competed with the faangs for hiring.
They will when people are all leaving for better pay elsewhere.
They make very small binoculars and like all optics you can spend as much or as little as seems appropriate along a flattish curve of diminishing returns.

And to me, a small pair of non-toy binoculars is a great gift for a child. The sort that lasts a lifetime by virtue of being a general tool.

To me; two pairs of binoculars is better than one telescope. It allows “parallel play.” Looking at the night sky together but with individual agendas seems a great way to spend time together.

Maybe in a few years upgrade to a telescope. Children grow up quickly, yet not so much that there’s a rush to do things.

And with two pair binoculars, there’s also birdwatching.
That tinfoil hat looks good on you - seriously read the article it is nothing remotely close to what you are suggesting
The protests/riots aren't that bad IMO, this kind of stuff happens. What is bad is the root cause - an elected official fighting tooth and nail to retain power after being voted out, and finding real support among a large fraction of the population.

Something I learned after reading a primer on the American Civil war: Britain had no issues with the South's stronghold on slavery, as long as the cotton and sugar kept flowing.
I think the problem is more subtle than that. There is a general evaporation of trust levels in societies across the world, not just the U.S. The world is becoming a very low-trust place.

Deplatforming and censorship are only some factors in this process, but there are others. Remember Trump's original claim to "drain the swamp"? In the age of the Internet, anyone who pays attention to politics is overwhelmed by examples of bad behavior from the top guys and gals. People, being partisan creatures, will mostly concentrate on the top guys and gals from the other side, but contemporary democratic world is transparent enough not to let you doubt that the basic institutions are rotten to the core. Once upon a time, random people could have (positive) illusions about what takes place in the palaces of power in Brussel, London, Paris or Washington. Now they know it down to the last dirty detail and I believe that some of them just cannot cope.

At the same time, China notices this and does its utmost to suppress any disagreeing voices within, much more so than 15 years ago. The end result should probably be a curated, polished image of the country and its system with no visible flaws. I doubt that they can sell this to the outside observers, but they may get their own population to believe that without reservations: "we are the champions".
n = 100_000
K = 2 # seconds
time_secs = K * n * log(n)
t = timedelta(seconds=time_secs)
t # datetime.timedelta(days=26, seconds=56185, microseconds=92994)

So around a month (at 24×7, so in reality more like 3 months) of time sorting if in a horrendous abuse of big O notation we assume that sorting the notes takes 2 * n * log(n) seconds.

I guess he could use a pigeonhole sort though - at constant factor of 10 seconds this gives 11 days 49600 seconds.
Sure, let's make the public alternative, but I am strongly against taking over businesses.
When I switched from Windows to Linux, sure there were some inconveniences but with enough technical knowledge and a bit of inconvenience I was able to get by.

But social media? What do I switch to?

Exactly my problem too (car mechanic, plumber, school parent committee, loads of my friends …) – I need my car fixed, I need my plumbing fixed, I need to communicate with other parents. I hate that I have no choice but to use a Facebook product when I am not even on Facebook!
I do personally believe that for all its faults WhatsApp is the best. It’s a pity about that but I guess FB have to pay all those great developers somehow. It’s up to regulation to set the boundaries for what’s acceptable in business so let’s see what happens.
Are they restricted from setting up their own Twitters, FB, IG?

Some cities in Northern Sweden and their yearly average low/high:

Kiruna: -8.1 to 1.8
Luleå: -1.5 to 5.9
Umeå: -0.8 to 6.7

Luleå and Umeå both have Universities and populations of ~45k and ~80k respectively. Kiruna is a mining town.

I lived in Umeå for a few months, it's actually pretty pleasant.
Good idea - I'll add that to my todo list.
Because there's a tradeoff between 'privacy and security' and 'convenience', and most people like to fall somewhere in the middle.

It's like locking your doors on your house. Sure, a burglar could break the door down, smash a window, follow you around and steal your keys, etc., but it adds a level of security and precaution that keeps some of the bad guys out while not being insanely inconvenient.

I care about the privacy and security of my home, but I'm not going to live in a bunker.

>>Brick is just siding. What's the frame made out of?

Man, that is going to be a shock to my house that has all of the outside walls, and parts of the foundation, made from brick. Just because your house has a brick veneer doesn't mean that's the only way to do it.

In my particular the case the floors and roof are made from wood. The floor joists rest on the brick walls.
Agreed.

For non metric people, your proposition is calling for something to be able to transport a package around 2lbs approximately 9,000 miles.

Flying below radar has its own challenges, as described here: http://aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/2952/can-you-act...

Your real issue would be finding an efficient enough engine to fly that far with a few refueling points along the way, thus making the trip longer than what you're probably envisioning. This is why I'm assuming jeffasinger has proposed a blimp or some form of a blimp to get this accomplished.

Yes, it can be done, but with several caveats.
If you don't like the icon theme you can search "icon" in the system settings and it gives you a page to either change from preinstalled themes or go to the kde-look repository of user themes to pick from.

So no, customization never went away. Breeze is just replacing Oxygen, but the ability to change it doesn't go away.
big data (noun)

There's a lesson here.

Once upon a time, I worked for IBM. At this time and in this place, decisions were made at IBM based not on evaluating ideas, but on who talked loudest. I watched a lot of good ideas get shot down, or more frequently just ignored, because nobody vocal felt like supporting them or because someone vocal decided the idea wasn't in their best interests. I also watched a crap-ton of really shitty ideas rise to the top and get a fucking load of money wasted on them because the set of people who can identify good ideas and the set of people who are loud do not have a very large intersection.

Fortunately for IBM, it's a large company with nearly unlimited resources and its position as the most successful technology company will never be seriously threatened. Particularly its office systems, AIX, and PowerPC directions are world-leading.

A computer might be able to learn something new. That doesn't mean it'll be particularly good at it.

Our goal is presumably to design computers that can do the specialised jobs that people do. A computer that can pretend to be a novice is not much use in the grand scheme of things.

I guess I'm balking because my answer to the question "is he a known liar?" is "yes, by anyone who knows him or has worked with him."

The problem with that statement is that from what I can see, no one who meets that criteria is commenting in this article. I am aware of no public record that he is a liar; but if someone asked if my Aunt Verna is crazy I would want to respond "oh yes, absolutely).
