No it's not free, it's also been tested in fields that require human labor which can not be replaced or supplemented with automation e.g. hospice nursing.
While productivity might have increased although I've tried to go back to the actual studies to verify it and i couldn't find anything to support it it's not free.

They are still being paid the same (per hour salary was increased) and they had to hire more staff, one of the big pluses they've reported is that it was much easier for them to recruit new employees but that's not something unique considering they've just given everyone a 25% raise by mandating that they should work only 6 hours.

So overall their operational expenses have went up, by how much well hard to say, they've managed to increase their workforce by almost 30% so that's a flat out 30% increase in operational costs, since recruiting and maintaining an employee is considerably more expensive (on boarding process & training costs, more heads means more benefits have to be paid out) than paying overtime then the operational costs have probably even risen more than a flat 30%.
This is a government funded experiment and so it the employer so who ended up paying the bill well the Swedish people, at least those who pay into the system since now Sweden has the lowest (actual) pay-in ratio of all countries within the EAA and no much north sea oil and gas to cover for it like their richer neighbor Norway.

Unfortunately that isn't how this would play out long term. With a six hour work day, people would just work for 5 hours and goof off for the rest of the time. If we reduced to day further, we would see a corresponding, proportional decrease in the ratio of productive to unproductive time.
Because there is more to performance optimization than just using SIMD types. Well-optimized assembly code tries to hide instruction latency and balance load on different execution units. Both instruction latency and sets of execution units depend on processor microarchitecture, thus you can't do it in a portable way.

Regarding "correlations without correlata": this feels to me like we are starting to hit on properties on our mechanism for describing/representing and confusing it with what we're trying to describe/represent. Rather than saying there's "nothing really there," couldn't it just be a property of human conceptual structure that it expresses abstract relations about abstract symbols, but there are never any 'things' that are related?

A business outside the EU has no obligation to do anything, unless it makes itself subject to EU jurisdiction. Just as you don't have to collect US state sales taxes for any US state unless your company has a legal presence in that state.

That doesn't help you if you're in an EU country, of course.

This could be inverting cause and effect. Perhaps those looking for 6-hour days are the ones more likely to want a long-term job. Those wanting "the next big thing" will work long hours until either it hits or they move on in a year.
There's a problem here, a tragedy of the commons.

Trust is a public good. A culture of honesty and trust is better for the experience of each individual employee, and for the company as a whole.

Unfortunately, the OP is right about one thing -- one individual liar in a workplace of honest people will likely get ahead. He can lie about his place in the market, and divert more resources towards himself. He can keep the salary of others low, and take more money for himself.

The problem is that if everyone started doing that, the public trust would be eroded. This thing that's critical to a company's success, not to mention the happiness of each individual employee -- trust -- starts to weaken. It might not manifest itself obviously at first -- maybe it's just people being more closed off, less open, less invested. It might mean your engineers care a bit less about doing a really good job, because they don't feel as emotionally invested in their job. It probably means the good employees leave. And it means what you're left with are unhappy, uninvested, bad engineers.

In other words, it's probably a good individual strategy for maximizing short-term personal gains. But it's bad for the commons -- it's bad for your fellow employees and it's bad for your workplace.

And honestly, it's probably bad for YOU; your personal inner life. Once you become okay with lying, you start to treat other people differently. It affects your entire personality. I can't imagine that OP only lies in his workplace; most likely his deceptive habits have seeped into the rest of his life too. Maybe the OP is a sociopath and doesn't feel empathy for others -- but if he's a regular person, it erodes at your soul.

That's an interesting theory with absolutely no evidence to support it.
BBB links usually provide a way to get a street address, from the BBB site, for the business. The BBB pages also link back to the site they're describing, and we check that. (Yes, there are fake BBB links.)

They leak data but their threat model involves that the attacker can get this leaked data too (they leak it to the hard disk?).

Why don't they just store some dummy users' (with zero privileges) credentials directly on the hard drive? They simply can provide valid passwords from it after reboot and your attacker can have these passwords since they can't do anything with them. Maybe their leak strategy involves something like this?

Have you ever been to a security checkpoint? At a larger airport there is easily hundreds of people in line, usually in a confined space

Absolutely. Some of the security lines at an airport like O'Hare are crowded enough that you could easily take out 100 people (or more) with a bomb sitting 2 feet from the TSA agent's podium. All of this TSA stuff, even if it were effective, would only be effective at moving the problem, not at eliminating it. Any smart terrorist in 2015 would look at this situation and say "let me detonate my bomb in the security line" instead of even bothering trying to get it on a plane. An even smarter terrorist might blow the bomb up in a movie theater or at a football game.

So yeah, this TSA stuff is a total farce.

Great book that helped me learn the psychology behind sales.
Many companies are founded as Delaware at least partly because of the legal framework and case law precedence that that state has for governing corporate bodies. Or, that's what I gleaned from an article a while back about how stock and options and things actually get transferred around.
The idea that people in sub-Saharan Africa don't know how how to create things through work because they were given so much seems crazy to me. I was given a roof over my head, free education, food, security, and medical care by my parents and I didn't have to do anything for that. I never saw our house being built, nor food being grown, or took a class in economics(by 18 I took several later). By 18 I still understood that work is needed to create things. Someone in sub-Saharan Africa has probably helped maintain their house, been knitting their own clothes, and maybe even planting and helping farm since they were 14. Then if someone gives them a bed net they suddenly discount all of their previous experience and believe that things are spontaneously created?

It seems to me you're argument is "if you give things to sub-Saharan Africans they start to think that work doesn't leads to things being made". This would be contrary to all the evidence around them. Specifically all of the things they are making on a daily basis. And this effect is so strong it overpowers the net positive of getting a bed net. If this were true then communities given a free net would do substantially worse than communities that pay a nominal fee for bed nets. All of the evidence I've seen shows that communities given free nets do better than ones that pay a nominal fee.

This is very counter intuitive theory. And I don't think mainstream psychology or economics agrees with it. So I was wondering if there was any evidence that bed nets harms the population they are meant to support.

Yeah and if heavy users want to constantly deal with changing email addresses and moving accounts just to get out of it. Like you said is few. Let them be? It's likely they generate word of mouth and other value being invested enough to go thru the hassle.
It may be badly stated, but the sentiment I agree with. If I can show you how you undervalue my work (here's somebody who would pay more) then that's coming to the table with honest intentions. Its saying "I'd like to stay, but I feel underappreciated. What can you do to correct that?"

I see no reason to reject that argument out of hand. Since no rationale was given for the policy of serving them notice if somebody speaks up, its fair to observe that its probably going to lose you some good people.

Best insight: The biggest misconception is that extraverts are better salesmen cause they're slick talkers. Actually, it's the exact opposite. It's better to let your prospect to most the talking while you listen. Ask them open-ended questions. The more you learn about your prospect, the more effectively you can explain your product solves their specific problems.

>I guess they think typical business is like Google or Amazon or something.

I guess, that is all they want -- and it very likely could be, that this is all they will get, when they are not stopping this. The EU is about to kill inventions in the online business. With this kind of regulations, the EU will become a dessert with the Amazon's and Googles ruling over it.

But I think, many big systems tend to go in this direction: The dinosaur corporations are going to win, because after the day, they can change the rules to their favor and the small businesses are going downhill, because they are to small to be recognized -- but those are those that innovate. And remember: Google and Amazon once also started small, but those where the days, where the focus of the big players where mostly elsewhere.

A manager's job is to manage resources to provide the firm with the maximum benefit for the least cost, and salary is one of the more obvious non-fuzzy components on either the cost or benefit side of that equation.
Author here. RNNs are used in the same places as most other Machine Learning models and may replace some of the older models in the future. What these models do is typically not visible to the end-customer (unless you sell developer tools), but it's an important part of everyday technology. Just take Siri for example. Under the hood Siri uses almost all of the application mentioned in the post: Speech recognition, language modeling and (I think?) machine translation. You can find parts of this in a lot of products that you use every day.

In terms of business ROI, RNNs may not only yield better results for the end-user, but may also lead to lower costs due to their simplicity. You may be able to replace a very complex hand-engineered system with a RNN that's easier and cheaper to maintain.

Hi Marat --

Looks like a great approach!

Do you have thoughts on how this could be extended to work with Xeon Phi and graphics coprocessors? The particular grail I'm searching for would do what you have done, but also allow some operations to be offloaded.

Also, I see you have some preliminary R bindings: https://bitbucket.org/MDukhan/yeppp/src/7830144789416f9fbed3...

Are these thought to be working?
many of your US customers, if not all, will fail to pay via 3D-secure because god knows why

As I mentioned in another reply, "Verified by Visa" is a stupid joke. Which, fortunately, I don't think I've seen anymore in at least 10 years. The paper linked in the other reply to you provides more details of how stupid this thing is.

IIRC basically the first time you encounter it you get a popup asking you to create an account. Yeah, right, I'm on some random website and I'll just start entering all sorts of security information into a popup. NOT! I did some checking when I first encountered it, and decided it was legit. But 99% of people won't. They'll just say "fuck this, I don't need this shit". They will then go elsewhere.

I encountered it a few more times after I first signed up. And it would have maybe a 50% success rate of actually "verifying" my transaction. I'd enter the information and nothing would happen.

It's the antithesis of the friction-free way that Amazon does business. I probably use Amazon once every few years but they still have all my info saved. I don't have to enter an address, I don't have to enter a CCV, I don't have to enter a credit card number. It only takes a few mouse clicks to complete an order on Amazon.

So, which payment method would the average person prefer?

Edit: look at what Wikipedia has to say, it generally makes the same points as the paper. Why would anyone voluntarily want to use this?

"Two experimenters in the same laboratory, using the same apparatus, having no contact with the subjects except to introduce themselves and flip a few switches – and whether one or the other was there that day completely altered the result. For a good time, watch the gymnastics they have to do to in the paper to make this sound sufficiently sensical to even get published. This is the only journal article I’ve ever read where, in the part of the Discussion section where you’re supposed to propose possible reasons for your findings, both authors suggest maybe their co-author hacked into the computer and altered the results."

It is not implausible that things have gotten progressively "less fun" than the early 80's. I mean, just think about the drugs alone. Lower drinking age, crackdown on pills and cocaine hadn't happened yet. Police militarization and infantilization of young adults hadn't happened yet. The economy was good. Lower and middle class jobs hadn't fled the country yet. "safe sex" movement/AIDS crisis, etc not yet there. Parents/spouses couln't keep tabs on you 24/7 via cellphone.

> Also, and I think this too was needlessly aped from UNIX-HATERS – I keep insisting on this good-for-nothing language being literally good for nothing, and while I don't outright lie to make that point, I'm "editorializing", a.k.a being a weasel, and why do that? I mean, it's a perfectly sensible choice for many programmers to learn C++, and it's equally sensible to use it for new projects for a variety of reasons. Do I want to see the day where say Rust scrubs C++ out of the niches it currently occupies most comfortably? Sure. But being a weasel won't help us get there, and for whomever C++ is the best choice right now, persuading them that it isn't on general grounds can be a disservice. So the "good for nothing" attitude might be best scrapped as well, perhaps.

Which is a much more reasonable position.
KDE Expansion on Android Review: KAlgebra, KDE Connect, Marble
This is absolutely a mistake. The whole point of requiring the firmware to be signed with a specific private key is to prevent third parties from installing their own custom firmware (e.g. to prevent malicious actors from installing malware onto the device). If you want to let everyone install their own build, then just don't require the code signature (or, alternatively, create a program where third parties can request a certificate signed with your master, so they can then sign their own binaries, similar to how iOS development works).

> For every device requiring images to be signed with a specific key, this is exactly what the manufacturer should be forced to release!

What do you mean by "should" here? If the source is covered by GPLv3, then yeah, if they use code-signing they need to have some way to let you get around it. That's the point of the anti-tivoization clause. But if the software is distributed under GPLv2, or any other license, then there's no anti-tivoization restriction, and therefore no "should" about it.
