Although these models are highly abstract that very fact enables them to form a foundation for many different fields.

* In thermodynamics the Ehrenfest model (or dog-flea model) was developed: http://www.wikiwand.com/en/Ehrenfest_model

* In spread of infectious diseases and vaccine efficacy models Polya urn models can be used.

* In exchangeable models (e.g. in classification where labels are assigned but without semantics!!) the Pitman-Yor (PY) process can be described as an urn model and exhibits power-law distribution (of items over the different classes) as well. The Pitman-Yor process is a (two-parameter) generalization of the Poisson-Dirichlet process. The "proper" distribution over the space of all partitions.

The urn model for PY is as follows. Start with a black ball with weight "b". At each step sample a ball proportional to its weight. If you sample a black ball, put it back in, along with another one black ball of weight "a", plus(!) a ball of a color - sampled from a base distribution H - with weight "1-a". If you sample a colored ball, put it back in, along with a ball of the same color and weight "1".

The model from Tria et al. is also a two-parameter model, but I've to check if it is indeed different. I guess it is, Strogatz rulez. ;-)

Edit: paper by Teh that describes Zipf's law (proportion of tables with n customers scales as O(n^{-1-d})) and Heap's law (total number of tables with n customers scales as O(n^d)) for the PY process: http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/~teh/research/npbayes/TehJor2010a....
Learning all the different movement commands in vim is quite worthwhile.

For just paging through code, I've also mapped the space bar to be page down in command mode, which I find quite convenient.
It would be trivial for organizations like RSS to spread their ideas among a relatively fringe community..
N00b here - why would someone use both?

I've tried a couple of times to work with uBlock and uMatrix. I ended up going back to ABP each time. The 'block an ad on this page' feature is one of its best and most useful. That, and it doesn't go too far in blocking useful item on-page.

As I said in a similar thread on Reddit a few weeks ago, uBlock has some way to go before it can be considered user-friendly (at least, for the user who isn't familiar with the intricacies of how browsers work). I would love to be able to use it, though. ABP is an enormous resource hog on my system, but more to the point, pages render so slowly when it's switched on.
OK i need to make it so that there are chat statuses and you can see when people are available.
I suspect we are going to see some upheaval in core services in the coming years...I'll be curious to see if systemd.timer takes the place of cron or if something else does. There is a good argument to be made for at least updating cron.

Link for systemd.timer: http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.time...

And some discussion of using it to replace cron: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd/Timers#As_a_cro...
From my time in retail (record stores, which tells you how old I am), employee theft completely dwarfed customer theft. Probably 95% of the 'shrinkage' was employees, if not more.
Its fair because people identify # as "hashtag" anyway. "poundstartup" has a more questionable ring to it.

Also, you get what you dish out. Saying its "dumb" is what earned you the 15 year old in me. had you said something like "i disagree with their use of the word hashtag" it would have given an entirely different tone, don't you think?
I hardly use it to keep up with friends anymore. I only find myself on facebook when I'm taking a shit.
From what I understand from the article, I think you are overestimating the quality of the arguments they bring forward.
I usually have the brightness on all my devices very low (10-20% typically, but have to go 100% if I’m outside and it’s particularly bright).

I also use f.lux/nightmode on all devices.
I don’t use any of those apps but I concur with the point: dark mode that benefits the eye doesn’t use a black background.

Which of course contrasts with the “dark mode” for OLED devices, which do use black.

“Good” implementations I’ve seen allow a couple of choices.
>However, a solar-charging option is BIG news to me. I'm surprised this was not mentioned on-stage.

It wasn't said onstage because it was an off-the-cuff response by Musk to a random tweet. Like when he said the Roadster will have rocket boosters. Why is it an "article" on TechCrunch is the real question.

But I'll ask: how is slapping a solar panel on an electric vehicle "BIG news"? According to Musk, it can add 15 miles per day; that's a few hours of walking, and has very little practical value.
bro you dont need "real data" to convince yourself that water is wet. if you have eyes you can get "empirical data":

go into dark room. read black text on white background. observe how you are squinting and its hard to read. enable dark mode. (you can use something like night mode for firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/night-light-m... if you arent sure how). profit.
I was told long ago in the newspaper business that "dark mode" ( background darker than foreground ) was unprofessional / hacker looking, and "light mode" ( background lighter than foreground ) was the opposite, and I wonder if that generality still holds true in the corporate world?
around a half strip a month sounds pretty fucked even for wooks
Training is a lot tougher. Just doing one gradient update step isn't all that bad (although you may have to play with the loss function a bit, e.g. logit cross entropy is probably tough to evaluate). However, then you need to go and actually do all the steps and gradient updates, so you probably need some form of bootstrapping to be able to evaluate computations of that depth. Also, the use case is slightly less compelling. For training, you can probably get all the parties who have data to coordinate and evaluate an MPC more cheaply than you could with HE alone. I think it'll require a very compelling use case for somebody to go and think through what the best way to do it is and it'll probably depend on the specifics of the application (who has what data, and what are we willing to leak as we go along - e.g. it's a lot easier if you don't care about keeping the weights secret).
This isn't 95% of the population. This is 95% prefer dark becausw the light version is awful.

More of a click-bait title than necessary. 95% of discord users prefer dark would be more accurate.
odd how checking for updates via Handbrake's in app update checker ( is there a better w ay to write that?) fails to see any newer version. So I had to get it via their website. Meh.
If you are ready to put in a separate instance to handle WhatsApp, then a separate mobile with Tasker to forward the WhatsApp message to email or other client is the easiest thing to do.

If not separate hardware, Android VM or Anbox would theoretically work but would be of more hassle considering WhatsApp actively detects 3rd party ROMS and android VMs/Anbox are not generally stable.
Probably because Amazon is at this point well known for shipping counterfit products. That's dangerous when it concerns phone chargers. It's downright negligent for supplements if you ask me.
If it’s worth Facebook’s while to operate in Europe, users outside Europe should expect the same

Thanks but I don't need a strawman.
They say that they write a lot, so maybe what other organizations do with direct sync up, they do with detailed documents and async discussions around those documents.
are you saying the drivers are too stupid to calculate they are making net money?

that’s quite the (insulting) claim!
I wonder if Elon plans to build a replacement himself in case his bid doesn’t go through. He alluded to a “plan B” in the recent TED interview (https://youtu.be/cdZZpaB2kDM).
Himmler killed himself right after being captured, before being investigated right after WWII. So, safe guess is that it is hypothesis. It can not possibly be after war reflection.

Himmler was horrified and mentally affected after mass shooting he seen. So, he started to figure out how to kill Jews differently, out of worry for mental health of German soldiers.

So, the above is at best him figuring out how to kill more effectively. Definitely not some kind of guilt or regret.
Nice. It was obvious they were leaving that out for some reason.
A c64 boots into basic. You can then enter and edit basic programs.
In order to do ml, you need another program. There are many options, but the most used in the demo scene is turbo. This is an additional program that you run. This program allows you to enter and edit you ml before you execute it.
Of course today most people use cross development and an emulator. Again there are several options, with cc65 probably one of the more popular ones. I wrote tmpx which allows you to use your favorite text editor and the turbo macro format, and then tmpx will compile it.
Actually I believe almost everyone who is reading hacker news is a 10x programmer. It's really quite simple, the average IT person, especially in "enterprise" has very limited knowledge, but they do know some programming. Either in Cobol, Basic, ASP or Excel. Their job is to solve problems, but they're not really interested in their work. A job is a job, not a hobby. They have never heard about system automation, still thinks Linux is evil and a bedroom project and believes VMWare is a coming revolution for system administration, which they're gonna start to use soon.

Yes, those ads won't make impressions themselves, nor will people be able to network socially, without the heroic contributions of SV risk-takers.
Or even better, do we actually want to increase the maximum lifespan, or simply stop the body decay for as long as possible? I'd rather live 80 years in a body that worked as if it was still in its thirties, than 500 years in a senescent body.
> kind of an odd bedroom to bath ratio though.

The bedroom/bathroom metric is probably a sub-optimal frame of reference for size when you have a mansion with a dedicated candy room, and thus lots of large non-bedroom rooms. The room/bathroom metric is probably a little closer less skewed. Opulent none the less.
I doubt the capsule explodes. If it's like a similar-sounding security-measure in the UK it just leaks ink when tampered-with.
Not really. Life expectancy at birth has steadily climbed:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_expectancy#mediaviewer/Fi...

The effect continued past the large effects of hygiene, antibiotics and child vaccination. You may argue that the curve is clearly asymptotic, and that a maximum age genetic barrier is clearly visible. You can't argue, however, that there isn't real progress after antibiotics and hygiene.

This type of barrier is typical of technological evolution. We do strain a technology until returns are minimal, and only then sidestep to the next level of evolution. Steam machines were mechanical wonders before the combustion engine. Valves were amazing right before the transistor made an entrance. Current "corrective medicine" will reach its peak right before "manipulative medicine" enters the fray.
"Digital will never compare with the warmth of film."

I love photography and chemistry both, and I admit to being a rank amateur when it comes to Serious Picture Taking, but... "warmth of film"? It's very poetic, but does the article's author live in the real world? At least for my use cases, digital cameras are so vastly superior to their film equivalents on the merits that the only way to make film sound like it might come anywhere close to the convenience and capability of digital requires nostalgic appeals like the one above, which is fine, I guess, as long as people recognize this as a purely subjective feeling. God knows that the reason I ran OpenVMS on DEC kit at home for so long was for the nostalgia of logging into the same kind of system my dad used in his career - those old boxes had no practical value, that's for sure. And I'll bet you any money that 50 years from now, our grandkids will be writing articles claiming that some far-futuristic lightfield holography do-thingy (that's so obviously superior to classic digital cameras as to have wiped them off the market over the previous 20 years) will never have the warmth of the 10-megapixel CCD cameras their parents grew up with. (Hell, there will probably be arguments on the future's photophile forums where hipsters argue about the warm, rich picture quality imparted by gold-plated SD cards.)
Except you'd be in Detroit. :-)
First of all, to equate what I said to bribery would mean you have to make the assumption that I am tipping higher _in expectation_ of receiving these things. I don't. Tipping higher provides economic incentive to the server to perform at a higher level for me and whatever guests I bring. And actually it is not bribery, restaurants are alloted to give certain guests freebies to either keep them coming back, or to enhance their experience -- whether it be giving you a free dessert, or other low cost/high yield item off the menu such as side items, or offering you a "unreleased" beverage sample or maybe going out of their way to make a particular item they no longer carry. But besides all of that, I tip higher out of my own virtue, because I worked as a server/bartender for 8 years, so I understand what they go through.
The US government does not have your best interests as a priority.
> How is it that we went through at least 40 years of incorrect diet advice without controlled studies giving us accurate and science based broad understanding of what actually made sense?

The government was involved?
I'll probably get slammed for this, but they do accept OpenID. Though that does nothing for session-jacking.
There are very few computers, fewer with internet connections while Television and newspaper are everywhere. Since a month Assagne have been in news, almost daily but FB rarely gets any press. What you see are occasional coverage. Facebook is a part of life of a particular class of society, but there exist another part whose main issue is to fight poverty and related stuff. They may not even have heard of the name of Facebook but they read newspapers. Even for US, how many times was Mark mentioned vs Assagne in print media say NYT ? In the end, Facebook can affect only those, who uses them or at max have internet connections. Wikileaks affect almost everyone.
Well I am sure they are entitled to it but I don't understand the secrecy around the sale.
Hi, I wonder how gnosis found my blog? Anyway:

I grew up in New York City, and relatively recently moved to Baltimore County. Something I've been coming to understand a little more every month is the difference between my understanding of what feminism is and what other people's understanding of what feminism is. To me, being a feminist means being not-sexist, and thinking that sexist things are unfortunate, in much the same way that being a normal person means being not-racist and thinking that racist things are unfortunate. It has been my experience that sexism, like homophobia and Islamophobia but unlike racism or ableism, is often accepted in quasi-professional circles. I think that none of those things should be accepted.
I understand that many people's perspective of feminism is that it is in some ways man-hating or implies the superiority of women. As there is no official Feminist Institution with a Feminist Charter giving out Feminist membership cards/tattoos, I understand that what people think feminism is will be dictated by the literature and rhetoric with which they grew up.
I think that the real issue is not that people are 'not feminists' but that people dismiss legitimate issues concerning equity as 'being feminist'. There is an attitude that caring is for 'social justice people' and that real technical people don't concern themselves with these issues. I personally think that it would be positive for people in technical fields not to dismiss a critical approach to these issues. I personally think the 'he' thing is somewhat damaging (as is the tone in the department that 'easy problems are for girls' and the charge leveled at me by my TA that 'you only got to skip prerequisites because you have tits') but I am open to disagreement on the subject. Refusing to be critical about sexist or potentially sexist perspectives at all because feminism is an ideology you don't like is a far deeper problem.
I'm not sure what you think is in those sentences that amounts to a verified patent infringement of some kind. You would think though that in the ~8 months since Jason wrote this some kind of specific claim might have surfaced?

I'm not at all convinced WebM doesn't have patent issues, but I'm certainly not going to assume it does have patent issues because someone said it might have patent issues.

Also, for what it's worth, the burden of proof is not on Google, that's not how patents work.
Hate to do this here, Greg, but...

I specifically asked whether devices were shipping to customers and you indicated that they were, at the same time that you sent me a replacement WakeMate unit. If this is not final hardware I reviewed then what is being sent to consumers?

Secondly, you never expressed any concerns about my testing on Android and I was quite clear with you about the issues I was having, and even delayed the review so that I could use a more recent version of the software.

Finally, when you contacted me and offered me a WakeMate in the first place the subject was "WakeMate review unit" and inside that e-mail you repeatedly used the word "review."

I'm sorry, but I can't cut any slack on a reviewable product that is shipping to customers.

I'd also ask that if you have further concerns you contact me directly rather than posting here.

Sincerely,

-tim stevens
(dude who wrote the review)
Cool, will keep an eye on this when we release our app later this year.
Note, these are not the final prices. Its only part of private beta or AB testing of possible prices.

Also the cost of your existing dynos may not change if they grandfather and not change running dynos' prices. Who knows until they actually announce any price changes.
I think this is a good subject but unfortunately I think there's probably going to be less substance in the rebuttal side.

I'm not pro-piracy but I think at the heart of piracy is the moral after-effect of corporations being able to produce too much demand.

It's like society's evolution towards more and more corporations creating apathetic but constantly product feeding consumers. At some point the adaptation process leans towards these individuals favoring a form of acquiring anything at a cheaper (preferably) free price because the opposite side of the spectrum - that of being thrifty, pragmatic, conservative...loses it's efficiency over time regardless if many still view themselves as conservative buyers.

One may make the counter-argument that this is over-thinking an age old practice of software piracy but in my honest opinion there's a huge difference between underground software "crack" sharing from wholesale piracy to mass consumer p2p usage.

Nonetheless just to support your topic:

Justification: Piracy helps promote businesses via consumer awareness

Rebuttal: Piracy helps promote BIG businesses. If piracy supporting people were truly for helping businesses, they would be a lot more intelligent in seeding certain products.

Instead the most seeded ones are often times also those that are mainstream. This doesn't mean the technology hasn't allowed for those who would seed or allow for a less costlier promotion of an item but... until piracy develops a seeder mentality rather than a leeching one, this justification won't ever reach reality. (and by seeder mentality, I don't mean just those who have the capability to possess seedboxes or seed 1:1 - I mean we have to have a conscious identity as consumers even if we're acquiring something that is cash free because it's not votefree. There are certain books or products that could help alleviate third world countries and then there are products that are merely entertainment junkfoods)
What on earth is going on in that URL?
Actually I kind of hope people keep using flash for ads since it's so easy to avoid them by just not having it installed.
So you can have two versions of a circle, one with circumference = pi, and one with circumference = wtf?
I used to be a huge pirate when i was younger.

I used to pirate software, including windows. I dont anymore, i use Linux now. I used to pirate music, i dont anymore, i pay for spotify, i even deleted my gigs of MP3's. I used to pirate games, i dont anymore, i rent them from lovefilm instead. (UK version of Netflix) Same goes for movies.

I still download TV shows, but i dont really view that as piracy anymore since i can get all the shows via BBC iPlayer, 4OD, Youtube TV Show section etc. (UK versions of Hulu).

To me, piracy was just the phase of the internet dragging the old media industry kicking and screaming into the new era. Sure it still goes on, but piracy forced innovation in my eyes, which on the whole, i consider a good thing.
I just started learning Prolog recently and I strongly agree with it's status as being 'underrated'. One thing I've found worth noting is the increasing interest semantic web technologies with no noticeable uptick in the interest in logic programming. This is especially odd when you consider that it's not much of a stretch to look at RDF triples simply as facts and rules in Prolog. I have a feeling that just as Rails rediscovered the mvc work in the late 70s smalltalk community, the semweb world will rediscover prolog along with the larger world of constraint/logic programming.
That does indeed work now (though it didn't when I originally checked).
So, the crux of your argument is that these students had a "special source (a source not available to all students) has a clear ethical responsibility to inform the teacher that they had special access."

I take it that you believe members of Greek / Clubs on campus that have old tests are dishonest (not everyone is a member)? A student buying a study guide that finds the teacher just used a sample test from the study guide is also dishonest?

I guess my big problem with your reasoning is that I can make a bunch of honest decisions in my studying for a class and then become dishonest by the dishonesty of a teacher.
"...when I was in 3rd grade."
The first point "no generics, no code reuse" is the best one. Go really needs generics/templates/macros or _something_. It doesn't even have subclassing, although you can kinda extend a type if you only use its public interface. I've been tempted to see if I could reasonably use the "text/template" package and feed that back into the Go compiler to achieve this.

The rest is mostly a Haskell fanboy whining that Go isn't Haskell.
Go has a very nice standard library. The whole thing is reusable code.
EU provides 6 years? How so?
The better question is who can save us from ourselves?

As long as it seems preferrable to dream of some hypothetical set of technical solutions rather than mildly discomforting us by adjusting habits to be less wasteful, I see little hope for that endeavor.

With every day that passes without self-moderation the damage increases. Sorry flora and fauna, your world ends before consumerism does.

- more bloated than binary

Not neccessarily, you can write fast compact protocols with text... sending integer and float data as text is not the bottleneck in any system:
