That just makes this distinction more important as the potential scale of fall out is greater.
Impressive work! Their approach makes a ton of sense:
"by not directly optimizing for the benchmark, we show that it becomes much more representative"

and is evident in the generalization and robustness: ~74% higher on the adversarial benchmark and similar/superior results on the standard Imagenet
I think they meant show a spinner in place of the blocking entry.
Is there any point of running windows outside of intel processors? I'm aware they have an ARM offering but it's not clear what the "killer apps" of the OS/arch pair are.

I'd think linux/BSD drivers would be the concern here!
> The signature move of the morally incompetent is to be told about existing solutions that they were previously unaware of and then soldier on without any critical examination of any added value they're providing. Others working on the problem are ignored entirely or seen as a threat to their own solution.

Really hit the nail on the head for the non-profit industry (of which I am a part). A lot of non-profit leaders are totally insufferable because they take anything less than fawning over them to be an attack on their identity as savior.

You get some of these people everywhere, of course, but there's a way higher concentration in non-profits.
Thanks for you point of view.

I pretty much figured out not forcing anything is rule #0 for this project. I would rather be showing how we can have even more fun using programming.

The scratch game we are working on has Minecraft graphics and sounds on it and some of the rules derived from Minecraft. Simple arcade game but suddenly much more interesting because it has Minecraft element to it.

And instead of trying to force him to solve the problems I give him about 2s before I suggest the answer to the problem. I would rather want to spend time showing he can think of anything he wants and we can make it work (well... most of time).
> The Trump/Russia stuff was investigated, why not investigate election fraud too?

What do you think they've been doing in the courts for the past month?

Trumps own Justice department wouldn't even pursue it.
Unapproved speech will be censored somehow, if necessary at the DNS / internet provider / Cloudflare level. Case in point: Daily Stormer.
I imagine you could design and build such a computer (I also thought that the definition of a computer might change in 100 years so much that today's devices no longer fit it). Probably using only solid state components, having it completely self-contained, and having all the components built for longevity may be close to but not quite impossible. But it would be entirely unpractical for anything beyond the proof of concept, certainly not as a mass market device. The "longevity" part of every component likely sacrifices speed, power, and performance in exchange for reliability. Imagine things like much larger features in silicon, duplicated or triplicated (or more?) components and units, use of more non-integrated components, the system as a whole would incorporate far more redundancies that take space and possibly power just for the eventuality they need to take over, etc.

Not to mention that testing and continuous development are challenging to say the least given the timeframe. By the time you discover your design has flaws you start over with a vastly different 100 year computer.

So from all practical perspectives I can't see a 100 year old computer being built with today's tech unless we mean stuff running in hypervisors and emulators that are constantly maintained and developed over that century.
Keep in mind that this happened while:

- Members of the Senate
- Members of the House of Representatives
- The Vice President

were in the building during an important legislative event.

We can look back at this and say it a mostly harmless event, but what if one of the protesters was a deranged person or enemy agent with a deadly weapon or decided to start a fire or explosion in the capital? Even in state courthouses they won't allow you in before going through a metal detector. And this was before 9/11. And Americans are well aware of having to take off their shoes before entering their airport gate.
If you're in a tight race against other companies which also raise large sums of money, and in markets where "winner take all" effects happen; then, it might still make sense to raise money.

Normally, though, you are probably right.

saying they burned and looted cities for months is clear right-wing hyperbole

Wait, is it? I'm not American and even I know that Portland has been the site of continuous nightly riots for months now. It stopped being reported a long time ago but it's still happening. https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo posts pictures and videos of it every single day all summer and winter. They smash up and burn buildings all the time, and that includes repeated attacks on federal courthouses.

Ngo claims the group are called antifa and the rioters all seem to be white, but they claim to be BLM and to be fighting against racism so I guess it's reasonable to call them BLM riots.

I mean, which kind of rioting is worse is absolutely a reasonable discussion to have, but writing off the last six months of nightly rioting in Portland as "right wing hyperbole" when there are endless pictures, videos, mugshots, etc ... well that just seems like the kind of bubble isolation that is being decried up thread.
Whatsapp is king in most of Europe
Late 90s, Sega of Japan probably had too much pride for that. Afterwards, if MS was still interested, perhaps Sammy's offer was more compelling overall.

I also don't think MS would have had much interest in all the other non-home-console-software businesses SEGA was involved in.

Could have been an organized crime/liability element too. The relationship they did end up having was fruitful enough.

EDIT - Well, looks like I was wrong.

Do you have any cases where NSA illegal wiretaps were used as evidence in court in a standard trial like this against a U.S. citizen?

Under the doctrine of parallel construction, as revealed in the Snowden disclosures, there is no way for the court to know if illegal NSA wiretaps or other surveillance activities were involved. The fruit of the poison tree is now on sale at your local justice supermarket.

Yeah.

Don't create enemies (by invading foreign countries, putting lackeys in power to get their resources and messing with their politics) in the first place.

Worked wonders for most countries...
Under project scope, there's this statement:

> To name just a few things you usually don't need: ... flawless i18n & accessibility

Lack of basic accessibility support is (or should be) a complete nonstarter for any serious project.
Not that much, by my estimate (I have no inside knowledge).

How many of you work for free, BTW? No hands, huh.
sounds like something that inexpensive they could add redundant ones to the board to exceed the expected lifetime of the vehicle, plus to have a backup failover since it causes some serious issues. Or just have a location where they can be swapped out like on a camera.
>...I've often seen it used to add complexity where none is necessary.

This reminded me of a great blurb about Niklaus Wirth's approach to languages:

>Wirth’s philosophy of programming languages is that a complex language is not required to solve a complex problem. On the contrary, he believes that l languages containing complex features whose purposes are to solve complex problems actually hinder the problem solving effort. The idea is that it is difficult enough for a programmer to solve a complex problem without having to also cope with the complexity of the language. Having a simple programming language as a tool reduces the total complexity of the problem to be solved. [0]

I'm using freetaxusa.com for the first time this year. I got fed up with TurboTax after being hit with a similar anti-pattern as the ones described above. Got almost to the end and was told I had to pay $80 to file. This was after spending hours on my taxes because there are some things that can't simply be updated.. no you have to completely start the process over from the beginning. This felt intentional so that I would just accept the cost to be done with it.

After learning about how TurboTax lobbies to make filing more difficult, I swore I would not use them any longer. I also take everything opportunity to let people know about TurboTax's lobbying.

So far freetaxusa.com seems better than TurboTax IMO. It's cleaner and to the point. No unnecessary animations or any of that nonsense.
I think they meant "simple" as in the filing process, not the tax code. Agree tax codes get complicated for good as well as bad reasons. It could clearly be simplified, but only so much.

A turbo-tax like interface that covered say, 80% of the working public perfectly well and was free or really cheap is certainly in the realm of possibility.
What? My Dyson fan is incredibly quiet compared to any other fan I've used.
> the reliance on "taxable income" instead of gross is interesting

Taxable income is gross income when you're pulling a wage. Even in a progressive tax system where, for example, your first $10,000 untaxed, it's still taxable income because even if you make $12,000 then the full amount is used to determine your tax bill.

> Wouldn't a progressive tax policy look similar to the paper's stats since more income would be taxable for folks with lower income?

I'm not even sure what you're trying to say here. Be specific.
The color matching is easy. It's not using the same fonts, and pretty obviously stretching the text to take up the approximate amount of line space - also easy. Don't be too quick to judge! :)

You'd know even without knowing varietals. I can tell merlot from cabernet, but I'm mostly wine-illiterate; but the glass of pinot we got with our wine pairings at Alinea was unlike any wine I've ever had in my life; I recognized instantly that it was something special.

And that's the only point I'm making: there are special wines out there, and many of them are not cheap, and if you want their particular kind of special, you're going to have to pay.

The grandparent commenter made this point more clearly than I have. You can get crappy expensive wine, but for the most part, you won't get what you don't pay for.
Can I install this in my contact lens?
What a terrible "accident"! Really though, Memories is a pretty damn good idea. If it will auto organize photos and content based on semantics and date, that would be very cool.
I know this doesn't add anything in particular, but I'd like to reinforce your point.

Ditto.
What about smaller type (and sometimes weird fonts) in somewhat dim environments – I’m thinking of menus, that seems like a typical situation where translation is necessary for tourists.
This is one of those times you have to admit it's not ALL about the execution. Good ideas do matter. And they are rare.
Creating a party and running it in an election is a tad more onerous than creating a Reddit account. You can't create 100 parties just to try to game the lottery.
Thanks for the thought-out response. I'd only counter that a president alone can't change everything when we have a congress, lobbying and media environment like we have now. "Trying to change things" vs "Trying to make sure they don't change" is a bigger difference than simply "lesser evil", even if the daily frustrations sometimes get to you.
Where are all the "bleeps" and "blooops" and "bididlybidilybidily" noises?
In that respect Dotcloud would need some more abstraction, almost fire and forget for some of this to be Heroku like.

But, I love competition and these guys are living the dream. Hope they continue to kick ass and add features.
I'm not sure I agree with this. Granted good design takes some extra work. But for the most part, in my experience, coders who write bad code also do it slowly (perhaps because they don't understand it), while those who write cleaning code are able to move more quickly. As a project grows, you have to refer back to your own work more often. The price for poor code starts to be paid almost as soon as the cursor leaves the page.
I think a middle ground would be good. I understand the reasons for dropping comments scores but it makes it harder for me to get a quality experience out of the site and easily find the information I need. The scores mean something to me.

I liked someone's suggestion of basing the comment score on "upvotes per view" so older comments don't dominate, and I also like the idea of using a dark-to-light gradient (dot) instead of a concrete number.

Just sorting to the top (kinda) really just makes it hard to wade in, and makes me less likely to take a look at a topic I know little about and would like to see a couple of definitive words on it. It may be groupthink to some extent but this is a damn smart group.
I cannot wait for WebCL to be released as well, in the mean time how would you suggest using the image buffer in WebGL to help simulate many complicated particles?
How so? I'd bet if it worked for your laptop, you'd pay more and use it less (given that your phone has the potential to ring 24/7)
There are multiple definitions for forum. The standard Internet definition is indeed "hang out, post lots of BS, troll newbs" - but the broader definition is simply "a venue for exchanging ideas", and SE certainly fits that.

We don't like to call it a forum, precisely because it brings to mind the former. But the latter (older) definition is perfectly applicable.

Computerphile made a good vide on the same subject ~a month ago called "What Happens When You Click a Link?" [1]

It is obviously not as deep in content as the article is aiming to be, specially because it focus only on the first things that happens like DNS resolving and the socket connection, however, it is still fun video.

This. It's not just about doing stuff you enjoy, I think that's a broken record everyone has been playing. There's a certain level of authority that I think we all want to have on the stuff we do as well.
I just want to note that of the three providers you mention, they're really not providing equivalent services (GCE is definitely much different than EC2, so does Azure and AWS ecosystem). So depending on your stacks, it should be an obvious choices (I can't say, because I don't know what you are doing).

Now, between Digital Ocean, Linode, Softlayer etc. (which are doing more of the same things), things got a bit muddier.
Speaking of C APIs, JRuby+Truffle is going all-out:

> Our new solution in JRuby+Truffle is pretty radical - we're going to interpret the C source code of your extension. We use the same high performance language implementation framework, Truffle, and dynamic compiler Graal, to implement C in the same way as we have implemented Ruby.

I'd argue that sometimes you don't really know what good taste is or whether or not you would enjoy something until you've acquired a certain level of competency for it. Sports, programming and math are all like this. The more you work on them the more enjoyable they become, and you'd become a lot more "tasteful".
I enjoy:

Creating useful things, or something that is fun to do.

Making something come to life, a product, a character, a moment, that people use or enjoy experiencing.

It could be in programming, art, a system, a product, something digital, something physical, anything useful that removes part of the monotony of life, reduces drag, and improves the thrust of life.

To me a comic strip, a rocket ship, a new game, a system that takes away boring tedious parts of life, quality of life improvements, and anything helpful to make the day more of an adventure, are all on the same plane.
> Personally, I believe they should've been able to fix it themselves.

Difficult to fix stuff when you don't have both access to the source code AND verifiable builds. And we know that no one can trust Cisco in any case - if Cisco themselves do not cooperate, NSA will intercept the parcel en route anyway.
Another interesting point--that chain-rule gradient evaluation is essentially something called automatic differentiation:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_differentiation

which is really cool stuff and should be included more often when talking about backprop.
Knowing clippy I wouldn’t be surprised if that compiled, but resulted in a warning that you can simplify the double negative.
I'll take yapf --style=pep8 formatting over black any day.
And that's exactly why I am a bit worried about learning it. I am not looking for a language that is too theoretical, like Haskell.
It costs real-world money to run the instructions, so fundamentally all you can do is ask for it to be cheap.
Growth and prospect are anthropocentric values. The same goes for the point of life. Evolution does not have a point. And extending the meaning of the word "God" just to claim that everyone has their own God is just making words meaningless.
This is relevant to my interests. We have an internal code style guide at my company that includes guidelines for order of class statements, roughly matching yours. I have one pet peeve that made me write the style guide in the first place - Django's `class Meta` which we always have at the top of the class because it contains vital information you need to know as a programmer, like whether this class is abstract or not. Whenever I have to work with an external Django codebase and find myself scrolling through enormous classes trying to find the meta my blood pressure rises.
> Most cryptocurrencies are designed such that the concept of "returning" stolen funds is not really meaningful.

Which is why these things are not features, but bugs, in cryptocurrencies. The core design principles of cryptocurrencies are actually bugs, if you think about it.
Plugins tend to make browsers more unique.
That's weird. You're turning the argument on its head.

YOU started supporting the process and said something like
Don't people who're manufacturing explosives in secret..

Well, based on what evidence? The machine that detects chemicals here? It seems that this supports my claim, you think that machine is 'working' and somewhat reliable. Without having provided any kind of proof or source, by the way.

The article, the author, proceeds to talk about potential chemicals to set off the detector (and we had more posts like this over the years, for example from people working with plants, farmers etc). Chemicals you're able to get everywhere.

If that is a known issue and this machine can beep if

a) you've built a bomb

b) you've moved your plants from inside the house to your garden

then you should reevaluate the idea of this particular test in the first place. The author writes that one participant in that theater claimed to know the exact substance that triggered the detector. Really? In that case it should be possible to

- dismiss the idea, it's stupid. That stuff? Everyone can buy it

- ask disguised/hidden questions to reveal if he used one of the gazillion things that might trigger this warning and leave the man alone

The option

- keep him, make him feel like a criminal, treat him in an inhuman (no water..? Really?) way for as long as it takes to break into his appartment

is really not on the list of things you can rationally describe as necessary. That's insane.

Ah, well. I come up empty handed at the end and cannot provide a source for the reliability of the detectors used in the US of A. I guess that makes my whole post moot. Obviously you don't need to provide the same thing, since "It's used at the airports, certainly it works!"?
Apparently people find Bing to be wildly better than Google when searching for porn. It is beginning to get something of a reputation for this.
Hit hard with what? The 1% marketshare it will eventually get like the previous Edge versions?
How many transactions per second before you need all that stuff? If you're not in the top 100 sites, it seems unnecessary.
The return isn't based on how much you stake. It's based on how much everybody stakes. It's targeting an approximate amount of total ETH staked and doesn't really care how much is staked by each individual.

That's a negative 70% in the worst case. I wasn't talking about making 70%.
Current GTK-based desktops like GNOME are already configured with JS and CSS. They are just not fully browser-compatible.
I think I spent almost two years looking for the perfect backpack for myself and finally found it last spring.

I considered a lot of options like the Peak Design offerings, Pinq Ponq, Wandrd, Boundary, Black Ember and Fstop.

I had a hard limit of 300 dollars, wanted something that had 30+ liters, wouldn't look dumb half empty and water resistant and ethically procuced. It should also have a water bottle mesh, internal organisation and pockets on the outside and straps to hang stuff onto.

I ended up choosing the Aevor Travel.

It expands from 38 to 45 liters and has straps so that you can tighten it up when it's empty so it looks good even when it's empty and isn't ridiculously big. Fills all of my other requirements and it's durable. it also has removable chest and waist straps (as I don't use them usually except when traveling and fully packed) so they're never in the way. I even spilt my full thermos of coffee with milk on it, by accident obviously, and it cleared right up with no stains.

Super happy, especially considering that I got it for under 100 dollars.
Apparently a lot of people are breathing wrong. [0]
