They claimed it was a medical device in the same way as a glucose meter.
Wouldn't that change though based upon the isotopes of the atoms in it? For example H2O made with Deuterium (1 proton 1 neutron and 1 electron) or Tritium (1 proton 2 neutrons and one electron) vs Protium (1 proton 1 neutrons and 1 electron), could all give different weights, not to mention different isotopes of oxygen 16 17 and 18 for the most common/long lived.
1. Gas mechanism has nothing to do with tamper-proofing transactions, thats what blockchain (or more correctly hashchain) is for.

2. There are Turing-complete languages which only allow loops with known number of iterations.

IMO Ethereum is just a first step in the right direction, the real solution will need to be much more scalable.
We generated net losses of $85.2 million, $104.5 million, and $154.1 million
in 2012, 2013, and 2014, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, we had an
accumulated deficit of $395.6 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2015,
we generated a net loss of $77.6 million. As of June 30, 2015, we had an
accumulated deficit of $473.2 million.

Could someone explain the motive to go public while operating in the losses? Isn't the public market more averse to companies operating in the negative.

Also wouldn't the timing act more as a distraction for Jack?
I guess part of my concern with Lua was the example on the linked article. It seems to be able to interface with most of the system and not just as a content source, which makes more sense.
One of the common reasons I always here for standing desks is that you burn more calories standing and thus helps to reduce weight vs. sitting. This still seems to be true and would seem to provide a secondary health benefit over sitting, in terms of weight loss.
This is the first time I've read excerpts from these "manifestos" and it's hard to know how to react. It all reads like a kind of mental illness and it's chilling to see the similarities (although this article may only make them look similar). Intellectually I feel like there should be room for sympathy of some kind, but to be honest, I feel nothing of the kind; just angry. The authors strike me as small, pathetic, misguided and (for me, worst of all) demanding and entitled.

In terms of constructive moves to try and deal with this issue, it's hard to think of anything substantive. For sure, less guns means these individuals would have taken fewer lives. Perhaps a better attitude toward mental illness and easier to access treatment options might help. On the other hand, it doesn't sound like these people though they were mentally ill. On the contrary, they felt the opposite.

I found the bits about how special they think they are to be particularly striking. I certainly feel that my daughter is special, but I understand that what makes her most special is that she is my daughter. The idea that everyone should be, in some way, globally special seems somewhat misguided.
There are places that are shared pedestrian/bike paths. The east side of the GG Bridge when the west side is closed for instance. In those cases I think pedestrians should at least be aware of cyclists, instead of walking 4 abreast and blocking the entire way.
Propagators are closely related to CRDTs.
In a discussion where the community has expertise there is a tolerance for practicality and getting things done even when it may not be the most perfect solution in an intellectual sense. I find that this is not extended so readily to other domains. People will often have a good understanding of the abstract concepts involved and assume that decisions should be tested on that basis alone. It is a bit like an intelligent but non-technical executive choosing database software.

For me, I notice that I still have big company thinking and I think it has served me well. While I watch others in my field struggle to grab every scrap of work I position myself as a higher-end solution that isn't right for every company. Because of this my clients are larger companies. That said, I have a colleague that does what I do but has made it a commodity and is doing fine - but - has a hard time closing larger companies. And yes, working at a large company gave me a lot of reasons to become an entrepreneur and many examples of how to or not to foster a successful company culture.

> That young white men feel entitled to shoot people when their lives don't work out (and apparently others don't)

If I said that Jews feel entitled to slander people and call them racist when their arguments about the existence of gas chambers don't work out, I would be ding ding ding'ed by dang.

While both assertions are crassly correct, we must ask ourselves (dropit_sphere, pay attention now):

- Please tone down your claims. Are you sure it is a characteristic inherent of young white men that they feel like shooting people when their lives don't work out? Or perhaps do you think it could be the characteristic not of such a large group with so many counter-examples to your thesis, but of a much narrower group, such as, for instance, non-home-schooled pubescent students under prescription drugs and probably victims of bullying, who aren't emotionally connected enough with their parents in order to talk through their feelings? When you generalize it to "young white men" you indict a whole category of people when really you should be chastising only the exceptional, criminal outliers.

- Please substantiate your claims more. How did you come to the conclusion that young white men feel entitled to shoot people when their lives don't work out, while others apparently do not? Is there a study corroborating this? Can we make this claim from the sample size we have? Have there been other cases where people mistakenly blamed a whole group for the actions of the outliers? (Hint: Jews). If so, what can we learn from it?

dang: please moderate this thread more closely in order to curtail the behavior exemplified by dropit_sphere's post. Thank you.
Wasn't referring to the mass shootings being a first world problem, referring to the varying "crises" presented as justifications FOR mass murder, which are almost without exception pathetic.
Their pace of losses are increasing at about 50% more per year. Most companies that file to go public are at least losing less money over time with a path to profitability. I don't see how this bodes well for a strong IPO.
In Madrid? Prfff, you were lucky, my friend. I lived there for 4 years and I see them as the Mafia on wheels.
I want to start out by pointing that I'm generally in agreement with your points.

I urge you to consider that aggregate statistics are not individual experiences. It is a totally normal, expected outcome that there are individual men who have had deeply unfair experiences based on their gender. The fact that 'overall' men have better experiences will be cold comfort to such people. While in aggregate we tend to encourage men/boys to play chess, and as such there are a lot of competitive men, an individual man/boy may have a very different experience. Telling that one man/boy that overall men have it better in this scenario (and others) just won't be compelling. That's why I tend to argue that we should consider these incentives. It's a group-modification action, not an individual-modification. But understanding this may help you to have compassion for people who, for whatever reason, are blind to the 'tipping of the scales' that you mention.

Good luck.
I worked at a large company and they were very competent at some things and that really helped teach me a lot of things by osmosis that I would not have otherwise been exposed to. They were marketing geniuses and that is something I learned a lot about that I likely would have never studied. They also owned their own award-winning print company, so I was exposed to world class correspondence materials, brochures, etc on a routine basis and I think that helped me develop an eye for some things without really trying. I know what quality looks like that in area. I have seen many good examples.

It made it clear that I don't do well in a big bureaucracy. But it also exposed me to world class training and awareness of public image and some other things that have been very important for me.

I was a homemaker for a long time. Figuring out how to interact effectively with the public did not come easily to me. I was pretty socially adept, but what worked one-on-one did not work in more public settings and I am not sure I would have gotten a good handle on that had I not worked at a large company for a few years. Trying to marry skills developed during a long period of having a very private life to goals of having higher engagement with the public has been an uphill battle.

I really got a lot out of working for a large company, but I am unlikely to do so again. I am very socially conservative, so I really would have been thrilled if I had been able to climb the corporate ladder. That would have fit well with some of my default personality traits. But it really was not working for me. I currently do freelance work and am developing various web projects. I would find that a lot harder to swallow had I not learned firsthand that, no, I am not suited to climbing the corporate ladder. But having a job at a global corporation also did up my game in important ways, probably many of them things I would not even recognize as having come out of that experience specifically.

If you're in a position to be responsible for others, shouldn't you already have a safety net/final arrangements? Diseases aren't the only things that can kill you unexpectedly, and even without a family I have life insurance, a living will, and all my other arrangements made.

It has to do with the FDA protecting the public from crappy medical devices and drugs.

IF you want to sell a genetic test, you need to prove to the FDA: (1) that your test is accurate and reproducible, (2) that whatever conclusion you draw from the test is scientifically sound.

The issue was that 23&Me was saying "you have this SNP, that means your risk of X is increased by Y%". The test, the result and the conclusion is not based on a rigorous testing. Hell, some of the risk associated with SNPs is coincidental at best.

That said, I'm fine if people want that info anyways, but 23&Me would need to add a disclaimer that says "Your genetic test results and the risks attributed to them may or may not be accurate."

First, the drivers aren't even Romani. Second, the NY Times has used the phrase, quite often. Granted, with a quick Google I couldn't find a more recent NYT reference than 2008, so maybe they changed their mind.

Pulitzer Prize winning columnist William Safire, perhaps best known as a long-time syndicated political columnist for the New York Times and the author of "On Language" in the New York Times Magazine, a column on popular etymology, new or unusual usages, and other language-related topics[1], explains in the NY Times:

Just because some people take offense
at a word, however, does not automatically
banish the word from the English language.
...
it is hypersensitive to take it as a slur

Square Files for IPO on $560.6M in Half Year Revenue
It should be noted that the paper is from 2010. In 2011 I pitted a then brand new Core i7-2600K against an AMD 5800 for an embarrassingly parallel workload, and ended up going with the i7. GPUs are evolving faster though. Glancing at current benchmarks, a Titan might be 2-3x faster than the GTX280 used in the article [1], while a Core i7-9600K seems to be only 25% faster than the Core i7-960 in the article [2]. Programming ease ha also improved, especially on the CUDA side, so these days I would guess the GPU advantage is significantly larger.

> They have long had measures in place to detect invisible text (eg. white text on white background) or hidden text (where HTML elements are styled over other HTML elements). This suggests both CSS rendering and JS rendering.

No, this actually suggests it's not doing either. Both invisible and hidden text the way you've described it would be implemented with a CSS style. Not using that style would mean the text would appear as normal. I understand you probably meant that the JS was injecting the text in, which is fully possible, but that's neither hidden nor invisible text.
None of those tools work as well as Slack out of the box. Some of them require significant work to integrate with other web services. That's time your staff is spending on those projects rather than your core product.

Ketosis Help with Prüvit to Lose Weight
What I meant was, if you take a set of pictures, like http://www.bbc.co.uk/staticarchive/e96051ca2891859fb3168521f... http://iew2012.ercblogs.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/peo... http://www.dreamstime.com/royalty-free-stock-images-spouses-... or http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/brand-connect/wp-content/up... , where there are several people reading books, and remove the books, then it would also look like a lonely world.

Your reply is a bit different, which is that we do certain practices now that would not have been socially acceptable (say) 20 years ago, had it been replaced by a book.

First, I did read books at the table 20 years ago. Going back a generation more, President Carter also read at the table, as did his daughter. Quoting from http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1998-03-18/features/1998077... :

> I've been reading ever since I was a child. My mother read day and night when she was nursing, whenever she could. And all of our family have read at the table. Amy got caught reading at the table at a state banquet...So books have been a part of our life."

While some certainly thought it was rude, others did not.

Just like smartphones now.

Second, replace books with newspapers for a closer equivalent. Here are couples reading the paper at breakfast - http://static9.depositphotos.com/1729220/1228/i/950/depositp... and http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/nyhetsfoto/american-astron... .

Third, replace books with TV for an alternative older equivalent for the dinner table. After TV we as a culture rearranged our living rooms so the TV was the center of attention, not each other. We invented special tables so we could eat in front of the TV. Remove the TV in http://epicpew.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/television_wat... and leave a blank wall, then wonder why everyone is staring at the wall. Which is why it was called the boob tube.
It must mean he committed to stepping down there. Maybe he just agreed to see it through the IPO then walk away? As another user said here, how many people have been the CEO of two public companies at once? (Would actually really like to know.)
I spent most of my time getting into its vision and philosophy, trying to distance from the object-oriented mindset that my previous studies and experiences had consolidated.

Which would be somewhat off the mark in Erlang. Control flow and common interfaces are frequently expressed via adapters written using polymorphic pattern matching functions. Processes are message-passing, isolated units of work. Modules and OTP applications are encapsulation, etc.

The functional aspects aren't as important as the pattern matching on data types.
Fuck. Seriously. Fuck.

R does not mean only esoteric statistics. You have many more utilities in the R packages to diagnose and select models. Fitting a model is like 1% of the work, diagnostic is the more important part and R has much more to offer than Python ever will.
After careful consideration I've always enjoyed how:

p(rain,coat) = p(rain) * p(coat | rain)

Can be pronounced: "the probability of rain, and coat (wearing) is the probability of rain times the probability of (my wearing a) coat given rain". This intuitively showcases how the order of independent events doesn't effect the outcome, since after all:

p(coat,rain) = p(rain,coat) = p(rain) * p(coat | rain)
I think he was joking.
Don't beat me so hard. I know what they mean. So what? When you have P/E 250 I am pretty sure you have negative fundamentals, and you have some financial engineering in place to show "something".
My dream would be if Good Old-Fashioned AI (the symbolic, explainable kind Sussman is interested in) were to have the sudden redemption that neural nets had.

It was easier for neural nets, though, because they were close to a previously successful AI mechanism (machine learning with logistic regression), it's just that we had spent decades talking about them with different words for no good reason. There's a much larger gulf between GOFAI and what we do now.
Yep. I don't even know the names of my neighbors, and I've barely spoken two words to any of them.

Years ago, I had a couple of neighbors I'd talk to, but they all moved away. Had a few friends I talked into moving to my complex too, but they've all moved away as well.
> In the third quarter of 2012, we signed an agreement to process credit and debit card payment transactions for all Starbucks-owned stores in the United States. The agreement was amended in August 2015 to eliminate the exclusivity provision in order to permit Starbucks to begin transitioning to another payment processor starting October 1, 2015. Under the amendment, Starbucks also agreed to pay increased processing rates to us for as long as they continue to process transactions with us. We anticipate that Starbucks will transition to another payment processor and will cease using our payment processing services prior to the scheduled expiration of the agreement in the third quarter of 2016, and, in any event, we do not intend to renew it when it expires.

In addition to the $150 million loss in 2014, looks like the revenue side doesn't look too good either. From their operating data,

Total revenue = $707.8 million

Starbucks revenue = $123 million

So they would likely lose > 17% revenue very soon.
No kidding. Leave them as forgotten as they thought they were in life.

There definitely exist "accountable" AI models. Things like decision trees and various types of regressions.

The thing is though... any sufficiently advanced AI is going to be unaccountable pretty much by definition. It's like, calculus is an extremely useful tool for predicting the temperature of a cooling object over time, but good luck explaining to a 3-year-old how to perform the necessary maths. The fact that they can't comprehend it doesn't mean that calculus isn't useful, it just means that it's beyond the 3-year-old's ability to intuitively grasp. In this smilie we're the 3-year-olds. :)

Would it make more sense for a larger company to buy Square before it goes public? I thought I'd heard people saying Apple or Google should but I'm not sure how much benefit there would be since they have payment systems now.
Same logic as angels and venture capital... you don't buy for profit, you buy for growth. As long as their growth numbers are great, profit numbers don't have to be.

In 2012, they lost $85m. In 2014, they lost $154m. How much bigger are were they in 2014 relative to 2012? If it's more than 2x (and I have no doubt it is), they're on the right track. If they're 5x bigger, they're doing fantastic - revenue growth is outpacing red ink growth by a healthy margin. That means sooner or later, they'll not only be profitable, but tremendously so.

Square is a category-killer, in a key category.
Well, there are a lot of stars and some fraction has anomalous light curves in one respect or another. I am not against investigating, but I believe that overhyping science does more harm than good.
