Huh? The experiment is about experiencing. Try it, hold a bicycle wheel in your hand while it's spinning and turn it, and then come back. My point was gyroscopic effect are absolutely noticeable at bicycle speed and wheel sizes/mass. Try it out, come back, and tell me what you've felt and what you think is the physics behind it.

I didn't stay bicycles stay upright because of gyroscopic effects. I said they are more stable at speed and that I'm pretty sure that's due to gyroscopic effects because all else is equal. Do you think bicycles and motorcycles are more stable or less stable at speed and why? None of your very interesting links (I did see one of them before) add any relevant information.

A quote from your link supports what I said: "It is almost certain that gyro effects are important at the initial stage of steering manoeuvres."

You say: "the gyroscopic effects that everyone mistakenly believes are present in bicycle tires/wheels."

There's a similar dynamic in Mexico. Causing injury can mean responsibility for lifetime care. Another factor is Napoleonic law aka presumption of guilt. So one may end up in jail until trial. The third factor is ubiquitous graft. After an accident, the party with the most cash gets to tell the official story. So yes, advice is to flee with plates and registration (if any). But I didn't get that killing victims was commonplace.
In Brazil the punishment for murder is lesser than many other crimes, leading to people murdering investigators (or in one particularly infamous case, a mayor murdered two environmental cops that were going to investigate his farm, got convicted, but still got re-elected).

Also firing a gun and not hitting anything also has a harsher punishment than hitting someone, so unless you are a cop that need to draw attention or something, if you need to fire a gun, you need to make sure you will hit someone.
Don't know most system that use that use the cold water for heat exchanging and have a closed / open sweet water loop for the actual cooling. But from every thing I've seen salt tends to accumulate on any surface under the right put a lid on a salt water container and the salt will form on the lid just with the internal evaporation/condensation cycle through sublimation

But there's only a handful of such systems in the world
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_water_source_cooling

The largest is in Canada and they use sweet water, Norway and Finland have salt water systems that use water from the baltic sea but they seem to be simpler as they pump it into large water reservoirs under the city which won't really work for Hawaii.

Other limitations like the fact that the US builds with wood and drywall/plaster while Europe (and many other parts of the world, which were either deforested centuries ago or wasn't that much forested in the 1st place) uses concrete and concrete like blocks/materials almost exclusively even for internal walls might make it not that applicable for residential cooling.
You're comparing completely different scenarios, trying to paint the US in an artificially bad light.

If you intentionally drive over a pedestrian multiple times to try to kill them, you're going to prison potentially for decades. One scenario is purely an accident, the other is intentionally trying to make sure you murder the pedestrian.
Bangalore, India. Many Positions. Full time.
This is myifth monthly post and have hired a couple of great guys from the past posts.

Expanding the scope to include Analytics, Data Warehouse, DevOps and App developers. Please read on.
I have recently taken up a role to build a payment network from scratch, out of Bangalore, India. It is funded by a big corporation, but will be arms-distance from their central business.

It is a large, complex and fascinating problem to crack. The potential to bring banking to 600 million un/underbanked Indians is what excited me to work on this.

In the past I have built both fast-data and big-data companies and have a few patents in this space.

We are looking to hire a good core team of full time math, physics and CS majors, UI UX and product managers, who will work of Bangalore, India.

If you are interested, please email me at google's email service - takenottie. Thanks for reading.

I was referring to Perl's choice, and yes, mostly because of the all caps. Python's choice i also find quite distasteful, but i understand that users are supposed to use type(thing) instead of thing.__type__, which is usually the case with these magic methods.

I personally prefer Ruby's stance of making built-in methods look like normal user-defined ones (no special double underscore or all caps convention or anything like that). But this is a small quibble; i wouldn't ditch an entire language for such a minor thing (i've used Perl and regularly use Python and have found both to be quite pleasant languages to use :)
But what about the computer and internet connection to access the VPS?
All of these things reduce the natural experience and irreparably damage the wilderness that people are trying to preserve in the first place. There is simply no way to develop or improve trails without also reducing their natural attributes, usually permanently.

In my intro CS course the first day the instructor said they don't teach programming and there was zero credit lab for that. He said this is the design and implementation of algorithms. The labs were 3 hours, zero credit, taught in C and on Linux. If I remember the machines in the lab were running Afterstep, I used Window Maker at the time on my personal machine. Memories...
Thank you! Yes, I believe this was the original article, but I've never bothered to read the book. Maybe I should!

Edit: From the last comment found this article - which goes a bit against Malcolm Gladwell's findings - interesting read indeed - http://askakorean.blogspot.kr/2013/07/culturalism-gladwell-a...
Yes, but the point is that movable/discardable flags are an old-school hack that probably shouldn't have made it into modern binary file formats to begin with.
Old link was for announcing the original pilot and they've built that one, they are already scaling it in China and other places why not scale it in the US?
1. He handled it poorly, I think he could have just answered more directly and it wouldn't have looked bad.

2. I don't see why people are so upset about it. Obviously the reason they charge 1400 more is because when they put that price tag in Australia, australians still buy it. What happened to free market?
I have a short list of books that I recommend that have changed my worldview. First and foremost on that list is Bruce Alexander's _The Globalization Of Addiction_: http://www.amazon.com/The-Globalization-Addiction-Poverty-Sp...

If you've got the bug, that book is not going to help you. It'll just tell you how screwed you are. If you don't have the bug, I think that book might help you understand the problem.
Not me dude but I like underdogs and outsiders. What u saying sounds right: symmetries, like the ones computed in section 3.8 are used as constraints a.k.a. "quantum numbers" describing the states in the latent layer. That is vintage quantum mechanics. The part is theoretical and not in the theano code by looks of it, so harder to comment on... The quantum analogy also brings along the laplacian form of the conditional density in section 1.5, so there u go.
On your comment, which "literature on the topic" is clear? Have u read the original VAE paper http://arxiv.org/pdf/1401.4082.pdf. 95% of paper and most of 21 equations are about gradients, and gaussian too, they even invent a new term: stochastic back-propagation, why, who needs that? All the math is done in the Gibbs/ACE paper in 4 lines, just compute your cost bound and back-propagate? Having seen this earlier would have saved me a lot of pondering. Pythagorean theorem does sound too simple, I give u that...
When Mao created the notion of the Three Worlds, he included China in the Third World [1]. It was (ostensibly) unaligned, whereas Europe (and to an extent Japan) was aligned, making it Second World. He (via Deng) specifically called out the Third World as underdeveloped.

I've told my students that if you can't run the program in your head, then you simply don't understand what's going on. You haven't learned anything.

Absolutely. A coworker has a similar version of that line, which I've committed to memory:

"If you don't understand precisely what you need to do, what makes you think you can tell a computer how to do it?"

I also briefly taught programming, and that's a line I've used more often than I'd like. Another thing I've noticed is that IDEs tend to encourage beginners to perform much random fiddling of code that doesn't work, often creating a mess in the process.
Can you cite sources or any basis at all for this conclusion?

An acquaintance of mine was speeding and killed someone. He went to jail for a couple of years. No alcohol or drugs were involved and he didn't leave the scene. He was going something like 80 in a 55mph zone.
In many of these cases bribes are what get people off not stupidity.

PS: Granted, in a functional democracy changing the perverse incentives is a much better option. But, unfortunately in China the only reasonable response to this IMO is to find and brutally kill the driver and then publish this after the fact. Accidents happen, but murder should never end up as the 'better' option.
No, you seem to have missed my point. I find it strange that so many percentages of Poles and Indians are going on vacation with their co-workers.

That's a separate thing from "being friends".
The difference is that people choose to walk 2,000 miles, but no one chooses to patrol 2,000 miles. (If they did, it would already be patrolled.)

So how are you going pay for the patrol force? Not to mention get them to and from their assigned section, feed them, handle their waste, keep them safe--and manage their impact on the resource, since they are there on top of all the existing hikers.
Definitely a cultural thing, definitely not perverse incentives at all. See: http://askakorean.blogspot.com/2013/07/culturalism-gladwell-...
So your 'better' option to "getting off the hook" is murder?

On a related topic - if you're dying on the streets of China, your chances of receiving help are slim. Anyone who attempts to help you is responsible for your medical bills. They'll let you die on the streets.

The problem here is laws regarding expenses.

Corrosion is an immense problem with salt water in large systems. Eliminating dissimilar metals across so many parts is tricky. Even then, unless you're going to plate everything in gold, corrosion will happen. The far easier solution is a heat exchanger between the saltwater and some other working fluid (ie radiator fluid) inside the system. I'm a bit surprised that the hawaii rig is pumping in actual sea water rather than dropping a radiator into the depths. That intake pipe will corrode eventually.
Yes, we all understand that stupid little non-analogy that you US haters use.

The template is as follows:

Something bad happens in some other country. The America hater immediately responds with something that the US does that is usually nothing at all to do with the point of the story.

Yes, we understand your retarded tactics. Try again.
I was unaware of Mao's Three World theory.

I had assumed that kelukelugames meant the phrase in the European sense of the term, coined in 1952 by Alfred Sauvy (according to Wikipedia).
Well, in the US it doesn't matter, there are no consequences either way.

You can literally rampage up a sidewalk and send a bunch of kids to hospital, and have city council line up excuses for you. [0]

If you do manage to kill someone, no worries, just tell police you were grasping for some milk carton. [1]

If you go by police, there are literally plenty of cars of all makes and forms randomly losing control! [2]

These are just some of the more outrageous failings. Don't kid yourself, the only reason people are not backing over victims in the US is that there is literally no need with a "legal system" happy to excuse drunkards and the plain irresponsible long past the border to criminal recklessness.

(This comment merely serves to dispel this notion some readers may get that this is an injustice that surely only happens in these third-world countries)
According to Wikipedia, Mao's concept is different, despite the similar name. The term "Third World" comes from 1952 and was used to refer to countries not aligned with either the US or USSR, which would not have included China at the time.
You're thinking of the story from a Malcolm Gladwell book, either Blink or Outliers, I don't remember which. It analyzed the countries with the most airline accidents. South Korea followed by some South American countries was the worst, for the cultural customs of deference that you describe.
Something similar happened on Tenerife in the 70s:

It led to widespread reform encouraging aircrew to speak up if something is wrong.
The classic solution is that $s are not equal to utility. People have some discount rate. But you can trivially rephrase the problem, so the $ increase at the same rate of your discount rate, and you get the same problem.

Only a bounded utility function is a solution - there must be some amount of money where literally even a trillion dollars more doesn't matter.

That seems acceptable, but it still means this game is worth some amount to play, and that amount can still grow very large before reaching your bound. Also there must be some things which we can't bound.

There is a very related problem called Pascal's Mugging: http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Pascal's_mugging

In Pascal's mugging, a mugger asks you to pay him $5, or he will kill 3↑↑↑3 people (an incomprehensibly huge number, that for all intents in purposes, might as well be infinity.) He says that he is the matrix lord and likes playing games with simulated people.

This is of course, incredibly unlikely. But is the probability he is telling the truth greater than 1/3↑↑↑3? Is $5 worth more than a human life? If so you should pay him.

This is a general problem with expected utility. EU only cares about the average utility. The utility of all the possible outcomes, weighted by their probability. A single outlier can throw the average case off a lot.

EU is forced to trade away utility from the majority of probable outcomes to really weird unlikely outcomes, like the mugger, or winning an infinite series of coin flips. EU is optimal in most everyday problems, but it can fail in extreme cases.
A liter of redbull subsitute? You sound like an addict just since you're talking quantities of caffeine.

They're one and the same.

As well it should.
Even though it is something I wanted to know, unfortunately this is not a story that I want to read at hacker news.
When the state executes someone for a crime it's generally not considered murder.

Vigilantism is considered a wide range of things in various cultures, but even in the US if a someone saw a driver drive back and forth over there kid and they pulled out a gun and shot the driver in rage then they would likely get off.

Doing the same thing in cold blood would be considered murder in the US, but we have a mostly functional court system. Without that Vigilantism may preform similar functions as state sponsored executions. Sure, it's far from ideal, but so is cold blooded murder of a child.

PS: Actual death would not be a requierment, but a level of harm that causes people to avoid murder is.

Dead Code Should Be Buried – Why I Didn't Contribute to NLTK
It depends where in the country you are.

In California, where I grew up, it's expected to have a small response:

A: "Hey, how are you?"

B: "Good, and you?"

A: "Good, thanks."

But in the Northeast, you'll stress yourself out trying to actually respond. People will throw it out as you're walking by each other, and if you try to squeeze in a "Good, and you?" they'll be taken aback because they're not really expecting to say anything further. And they're not really waiting to hear any actual response like "Meh" or "Woo".

In Boston and New York, I literally translate "How are you" to "Howdy" in my head. That is, "Howdy" was derived from "How do you do?" but obviously you don't respond "Good" to "Howdy". It's just a synonym for "Hi."

A: "Hi, how are you?"

B: "Hi."
Traffic violence in the US is absurd. If you want to kill someone you might as well just do it in a car. Nobody will even bother investigating.

The most recent atrocity was this week when a notorious reckless driver ran over a child and killed her. The driver is not charged with anything, but an outraged bystander who assaulted the driver at the scene was charged.

Just to emphasize (be picky): Logically it is exclusive or (XOR), not inclusive (OR). That is either write or execute, but not both.
Some burdens are simply too severe to levy on a single person for an accident. These should be borne by a combination of insurance, the community, and/or the state.

It was great working over the summer with you Jatin. You built stuff of real value to the company even in your short stay here. Wish you all the best.
Because you can find a few exceptions among tens of thousands of examples, doesn't mean it's a commonality. That's the critical distinction, and it makes your post obviously disingenuous. If anything the US has too harsh of a punishment system overall. The US is infamous for the exaggerated punishment of crime, not the lack of punishment.
I don't buy the 2-pendulum analogy. Nuance, as I read in the article, is about detection of ever decreasing observed quantities ad nauseam. It would be fine-grained discussion of the non-chaotic ranges of said pendulum. Basically a pissing contest, which is as good as any, but still just that. Once it goes beyond any practical use, has no more value.
Lesser known leader election algorithms
No, there is insurance for that. Motor vehicles are inherently dangerous machines, and we all take the risk of injuring someone every time we drive. Insurance distributes the risk of driving across all drivers. You should only be punished for injuring someone with a car if you were negligent.
Forgetting the laws, what sort of people can so casually kill like this? There are basic human instincts not to hurt people. Armies have to train soldiers to ignore these feelings because without training most won't kill even under combat situations. So when I see someone kill so casually I have to believe that they have rehearsed the scenario in their head beforehand. That means a large number of chinese people drive around with a plan in their head covering how to kill should they injure someone. They are mentally prepared at all times to commit murder on demand. That's messed up. It does not speak well of the country or its citizens when they travel abroad.

In 1952 China was aligned with the USSR. It was in the midst of the Korean War of 1950-1953 where Chinese Communists funded by the USSR is helping North Koreans to fight against the South Koreans allied to the US.

The Chinese Civil War where the Communists were funded by the USSR and the Kuomintang were funded by the US just finished 2 years prior.
People throughout history have killed, seemingly casually. It's human nature. I would contend that modern society has instilled these feelings of guilt associated with murder specifically against the natural tendency of man.
