The latex is what makes it a real pain in the ass to prepare fresh.

It is also much easier to find in cans in the U.S. than as whole fresh fruit.

I agree with the flavor being characterized as bubblegum pineapple. Maybe a bit banana-ish. I enjoy it, myself, but the rest of the family thinks it smells bad and tastes odd. It has never crossed my mind that it might resemble pulled pork in any way.

And for a "poor man's fruit", it is certainly very expensive to lay hands on outside of its normal growing range.

The logistics industry has actually done a pretty good job of getting deliveries in the 2-4 day range (depending on warehouse locations) across the continental US to the few $$ range whether paid for explicitly or bundled.

But routine same-day delivery even in relatively dense urban areas is still pretty clearly a premium service (and pretty much unavailable if you go 15 miles out of the urban core). Grocery delivery for $10 isn't that interesting to most people if they're in a position to hop in a car or walk 5 blocks. And single items like something from the hardware store don't work at all.
Its the classic suspension of disbelief.

Previous companies made a loss, but in the end started to make a stonking profit (google, airbnb)

However they seem to be the exception not the rule. Currently in london there is an explosion of highly integrated iphone ebay apps. Quite why they (the investors) think its a great idea to fund so many clones is beyond me.

But then the economics of startups are odd. like broadcasting seeds, you expect infant mortality. However this acceptance of utter failure has creeped up from the seed funding stages into series a,b,c and even d (twitter still cant make money.)

Its fine if you manage to sell your shares onto the next sucker. But the problem is that each round bring a bigger price of failure.
"it all comes down to interest rates" is exactly right. The various markets align themselves around the risk free interest rates. Note that QE has central banks buying bonds so they are pushing yields down and prices up. They do this when they have exhausted their control over the short term interest rates and they're trying to flatten the entire yield curve.

Bonds with higher risk (states, municipal, various corporate) will tend to track the federal bonds with some higher yield due to the higher risk you're taking. The amount of risk you're taking is a function of the state of the economy since in a bad economy e.g. corporations are more likely to default (overall). So one could say that yields going down are indicative of increased risk except they often lag. The phenomena we've seen over the last several years has yields going down while the perception of risk is that the risk is reduced. People considered the risk to be highest during the financial crisis and dropping since. So stocks have sky-rocketed because yields are down and the perception of risk has lowered. At the same time bonds went up because yields are down due to QE and low short term interests (that's just math).

The stock market is a form of a risky investment. While some stocks have a yield directly in the form of dividends others supply it in the form of growth. The price of a stock today vs. some expected price in the future is similar to the yield on bonds. If the risk did not change and bond yields are down one can expect stocks to go up. Now obviously stocks are very much influenced by people guessing how much growth is in there but at the same time given some fixed guess there is a price that correlated to some return %... Stocks are also influenced by volatility as people tend to want to get a better average return if the outcome is very volatile.

So at the end of the day, all investment options "correlate" (negative or positive depends on what you measure) with each other because if there was a single investment that had a better return for the same risk then there would be an arbitrage opportunity. At the same time they respond differently to changes in the perceived risk because the riskier assets are a lot more sensitive to risk (duh)...

EDIT (some more thoughts):
Inflation expectations also influence the relative pricing of bonds and stocks. That's because stock prices will tend to go up with inflation (as corporate revenue will tend to track inflation almost by definition).

The really tricky bit is that the economy as a whole is I think a chaotic system. A butterfly flapping its wings in China can send oil prices down in the US. So it's hard to say something like these things used to correlate and therefore they will always correlate in some non-trivial way. (EDIT: esp. when thinking about things like growth, inflation and even policy which are the core things that move these other assets around)
Khan Academy appeared as a remarkable thing: a self paced single page app of sorts, readily apparent to the user in it's construction. That simplicity was it's greatest quality. That was the entire power of it: a person happened across the site and realized in a flash that they were just one click from learning something they had considered unobtainable. No login needed: just start learning. Flash forward to now: it's another heinous and bloated maze, hidden behind a login. That was what happened when Sal allowed it to be developed into something completely different. I don't blame him, not knowing the full story. I am very grateful to him for creating the initial version. This has been a major travesty.
Sure, but that's just San Francisco.

Climbing up a jackfruit tree and carefully bringing the fruit down without getting eaten alive by ants is a feat of endurance. Jackfruit trees grow tall and the fruits are heavy, 30+ pounds on average. Also plucking the bulbs out of the fruit is a laborious task. This is truly a fruit of love to be savored from the backyard garden and rarely farmed at a large scale. Also eating too many raw bulbs causes stomach upsets in most people and is most commonly consumed as a well cooked dessert.
Not true, actually. See https://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/toolkits.html ... (I'm assuming this hasn't changed, of course, as this was written over 10 years ago... but the fundamental reasons why he was unable to write the dialog as a separate process should still remain, since they're fairly well-known and not-particuarly-surmountable issues with X.)

The password input screen uses only low-level X11 calls (and not a higher-level GUI toolkit) in an attempt to reduce the library dependency list and therefore the possibility of crasher bugs. But if you do indeed manage to find a crash bug in libX11 (or a dep) that you can trigger from xscreensaver's password entry box, that will indeed unlock the screen.

Now, the xscreensaver configuration panel is written using GTK, which is indeed a separate process, and a crash in the config panel won't affect the screen locker.
The word 'work' just has connotations that it needn't have. For instance, I would consider "raising children" and "nurturing relationships" to be work, and I think if people are going to do them at all, then they should have an obligation to do them well, and they should be paid for their efforts.

>How do you actually know you're making the world a better place for others, when all you talk about and think about is work?

Because the work I do is general enough that it doesn't apply specifically to me or my culture. If I were to summarize, I would say my work is "to ensure by any means that the best possible decisions are made by as many people as possible in every situation in which I'm involved." Right now, there's a major technological aspect to that, since the capability of machines to advance human decision-making and communication is ripe for some real improvement. (Specifically in machine ethics.) These are things I will work on regardless of whether or not I am employed to do them. I only try to communicate it clearly enough and be successful enough at it that I can survive to do it with minimal obstruction.

So even though people want a lot of different things, they all want to be more capable at getting them, and that's what I am driving toward.
That's extremely annoying behavior. I get where they coming from - if you read excerpts on RSS you don't visit the site for that, so no ad impressions - but I usually just ignore such sites altogether. I have no time to click on every link in the feed to just know what it is about.
May I ask how you tell them in interviews that you don't want to give them your previous salary? I've been trying to do that but they always take it poorly. I'm trying to figure out a better way to frame it.
Fantastic read, very inspiring. Being able to devote yourself to that sort of goal, and then actually achieve it is impressive, and humbling (to me).

I have not heard of Godwin's Law implying that (useful?) conversation after the comparison ceases, but rather simply as:
"As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1".

I've never liked Godwin's Law much, because it's trivial. Another way of stating the identical concept is: "it is not impossible to make a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler". The version you describe would at least have some non-trivial component to it, but e.g. on its Wikipedia page I don't see any reference to usefulness of subsequent conversation.
Apple has a brand. I can imagine that brand applied to a car.
Reminder: companies aren't just the CEO.

Not even close. Tesla exists. They built a new car infrastructure from nothing. Apple can steal their senior engineers all day long.

This seems dishonest. How much $USD worth of Bitcoin could you realistically produce in a day with a pocket-sized computer, net of the cost of electricity used to mine it?
I encourage everyone to watch this...maybe it's all bs but among the interesting points Shkreli says:

-They have reduced or eliminated co-pays so no patient is paying as much out of pocket as they used to

-The drug is still 50% given away to people who cannot afford it

-The company ships drugs to patients before resolving disputes with insurance providers

-Shkreli's view is that it is in the best long term interests of the public to have a drug that can be insanely profitable be insanely profitable because it creates an incentive to create another better drug

-On that line, the company is researching new alternatives to the drug which are less toxic (ie: cannabalizing its own market)
The old Apple would set out to create a paradigm shift in how humans travel and view transportation (instead of just jumping on the EV bandwagon).
Seems logical to me that a civilization advanced enough for interstellar travel would have solved the problem of the extremely slow radio wave for interstellar communication. I would think we shouldn't be limiting such possible civilizations with the limitations we currently face.
Perhaps the latter will actually become reality.

Let's not call out Apple as some evil locked down hardware platform company. How user serviceable or after-market modifiable is a Model S? Tesla cars get over-the-air software updates and you sure as hell can't modify it yourself in any non-"illegal hacking" capacity.

I think there is a public image component to Ive as well. The image of Jobs' era at Apple is Ive and him running the show. As great as Tim Cook is doing in the CEO position, Ive is still seen by many as the remaining influence of Jobs. Regardless of his day to day responsibilities having him at Apple in some design role allows them to keep that perception. If he were to leave I think it will have a very negative impact on stock.
I am originally from Gujarat (a western state) and jackfruit is definitely not as popular as it is in South. There are no dishes in Gujarat which are made using jackfruit. I know this because I grew up in Surat (a city in Gujarat) but worked in Mangalore for 2.5 years. I personally love jack fruit especially fried jackfruit chips! Luckily, Indian Grocery stores in NYC carry those jackfruit chips. Completely agree that it's impossible to describe the taste, you just have to try it.
The pulled pork reference is referring to unripe jack fruit, which has a very meaty mouthfeel. It is not sweet and has a different taste. I tried some in a Nepalese restaurant in Madison, WI, and it was very good: http://www.yelp.com/biz/himal-chuli-madison

It's also the model for a lot of business software that caters to some specialist requirement, industry vertical, etc. Just look at the huge partner ecosystem of Salesforce for example. Something like 160,000 people attended Dreamforce. Some of that is large software firms and in-house end-user development of course, but a lot of it is small ISVs with niche add-ons.

I think an interpretation of a work completely removed from its historical or literary context is perfectly valid. It's not super surprising that you'd see things differently.

I guess there's a lot we could say about all that. I thought the movie version of ST and the book were both very entertaining in their way. (Haldeman's statements about the book as a brilliant didactic novel for teenage boys resonate strongly for me since I did lend the book to a friend who later credited it as an inspiration for his joining the Army...) I thought the movie did a great job of highlighting some of the absurdities of the book and if I had read the book in a certain light I wonder if I might have viewed it similarly.
While that's some consolation, the loss of genetic diversity within the species is tragic.
It's supposed to resemble pulled pork before it's ripened. I've never seen it personally, however, since I've only been able to find fresh jackfruit in the midwest in the last few years.
> Not popular in India? News to me.

No kidding. Jackfruit is everywhere in Bengali cuisine[0]! It's really popular with vegetarians and people on vrat, because it has a tougher texture (like meat) with certain preparations.

I don't know what pulled pork tastes like, but I dislike even the smell of pork, whereas jackfruit is delicious. So I'm skeptical of that comparison as well.

I have some doubts about this. Deep learning moves fast and DBNs are pretty much outdated models, even for unsupervised pre-training. It doesn't make much sense to me that unsupervised pre-training would help for this problem to begin with, seeing as their dataset totals around 65TB.

The paper is worth checking out: http://arxiv.org/abs/1509.03602
I haven't read it in full, but based on a quick skim, the convnet architectures they evaluated seem laughably tiny and shallow (at most three convolutional layers) by today's standards -- although I appreciate that there may be other constraints at play here (limits on training time etc.).

But to claim that DBNs are better suited for this problem than convnets based on these results is quite far-fetched. I'm confident that a convnet could crush these results, given enough effort and time spent on hyperparameter tuning.

I find this part particularly misleading (section 6, page 13): "shape/edge based features which are predominantly learned by various Deep architectures are not very useful in learning data representations for satellite imagery. This explains the fact why traditional Deep architectures are not able to converge to the global optima even for reasonably large as well as Deep architectures."

The whole point of learning features is so that they are better suited for the task at hand. If "shape/edge based features" are not suitable to perform a particular task, then a properly trained convnet should not learn them. I think the conclusions drawn from this work would have been very different if the chosen network architectures were more sensible.
Well, yes, electric cars are obviously a different game.
I really doubt Apple is going to build a full car. I'd imagine they are going to slap an Apple interior on an existing Toyota or Ford platform.
What damage did they think Ive was going to do?
I agree, I have concern about Apple's technical chops. That being said, they are masters of the aquihire.

Also - you have to separate electric car versus self driving car. I think electric car is pretty easy to do (relatively speaking), but I don't think it's a particularly exciting business to get into. Way too low margin and you're fighting against an establishment that will getting into the electric car biz as well. And I agree with comments above, that they all probably do better than Apple.

Whereas self driving cars, done right, will be extremely high margin. It will revolutionize the world and change everything - much like the PC and Smartphone did.

I think self driving cars have the potential to be iPhone versus Android all over again. Apple does the high end luxury market, and Google does the race to bottom, solution for the proletariat market.
Unripe jackfruit is totally like pork in texture - pulled or cubed. Only, as is typical of plant-based food, it is not as juicy. You can use it in all the ways that you can use pork - stews, jambalayas, with rice - except in a sandwich. I'm pretty sure jackfruit is too dry for sandwiches. Though, if it lends itself to pickling like cabbage, that may be a good way to incorporate it into a sandwich.
There are best practices, but they're written documents, not libraries.

https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Password_Storage_Cheat_Sheet

Why not?

1) Language fragmentation. Java developers aren't going to use a C# library or a PHP library. So instead we're stuck with, "If you're on Python, use X; if you're on Ruby, use Y..."

2) Password storage is a problem that's easy to get wrong without knowing it. If you have a DIY password storage system that accepts valid passwords, rejects invalid passwords, and looks scrambled when you view them in the database, it's hard for non-experts to notice that it's broken in any other way.

3) The combination of those two problems results makes it difficult for the security community to reach consensus on good language-specific libraries. Competent Java security experts can't easily evaluate a PHP scrypt library.

So all they can say is, "allow long passwords, use per-password salts, and use PBKDF2/scrypt/bcrypt with a pretty big work factor, but don't do it yourself."

> If you have negative contribution margin, scale without an appropriate reduction in total cost only accelerates your demise. Which is the hallmark of a non-viable business.

I agree that it's easier to scale software, but I'd be interested to hear whether or not you think software is a saturated space that has engendered a sense of entitlement in many would-be customers. If you can't convert/monetize your userbase, nothing else really matters.
