How  to Safely Sample the Entrepreneur Lifestyle
It's an interesting approach, but seems far more complex than just generating a random string via a program in the Makefile and importing it into the code as a #define ... this way would allow you complete freedom to pick the random number in any way that you liked.

A simple method would be something like:

RANDOM := $(shell openssl rand -hex 8)

>I don't believe corporations in the U.S. pay taxes on dividends they disburse. Generally the principle in the U.S. is that whenever you receive money you get taxed.

This is not true. While many countries do not do this, dividend payments are not tax deductible in the US. In fact, they are double-taxed (at both the corporate and individual level) which is one of the reasons/arguments for individual taxes on dividends being taxed lower than income tax rates.
It's pretty obvious that it is far more damaging.

The reviews from "stupid people" are limited by the ratio of "stupid people" to "smart people", and thus merely change the scale and add some noise, mostly uniformly across all products in a given category: the system is worse, but still usable.

On the other hand, enough fake reviews on a system with discretized scores will result in all products having the maximum score and having almost all reviews presented being fake: the system is now completely useless.
No, shareholders pay taxes on dividends. It's a more or less meaningless distinction - as a shareholder your business profits are taxed on the way in and again on the way out.

If one form of income were not taxed then things would end up getting skewed in that direction.

This is wrong. The problem is that different paths of money get taxed in different ways. If you buy stock, then sell it back during a stock buyback, you get taxed at one rate. If you receive dividends, you get a different rate. If instead of buying stock you loaned money, you'd be taxed at a third rate.

Plus, to minimize taxes, people now need to minimize the # of times money moves rather than making the most productive investment.

An additional cost of these various taxes result in the bizarre situation that you get more consumption if you consume today rather than in the future: http://www.themoneyillusion.com/?p=28842

Singapore (and Estonia) are doing it right, and the US is doing it wrong. The most economically efficient tax (besides properly calibrated pigouvian taxes) is a single tax on consumption by humans and the next best is a single tax on income by humans.

You feel a bit of the effect when you go to a country which uses different metric units. For instance in Sweden you commonly have hekto (= hectogram = 100 g) and mil (= 10 km). Or Germany where Pfund is still common (500 g). It will make you need to think a bit at first.

Not quite. He opposed words, too. https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/transcriptions/EWD12xx/E...:

"But in order to reason effectively, the very least we should be able to do is establishing whether two statements mean the same thing or whether two definitions are equivalent, and here we immediately run into trouble with our so-called “natural languages”, which (among other shortcomings) are not very well suited to precision"

So, prose isn't his optimal way op communication, either. Further on, he wrote:

"A picture may be worth a thousand words, a formula is worth a thousand pictures."

The problem Dijkstra had with pictures is, that there is no way to show that you have considered all their variants without the use of logic. Also, logic alone is sufficient. So, why bother drawing pictures that may give rise to false intuitions?
Here's a problem: I'm pretty sure you'd get just as good (probably superior) results with a simpler, faster out-of-the-box algorithm like logistic regression, random forests or boosted trees (depending on the amount of data). This just isn't a problem that seems well suited for neural networks.

Gyroscope/accelerometer data might seem like the kind of extremely-noisy, high-dimensional data well-suited for neural nets, but 1) you don't have a lot of data, and 2) intuitively the data isn't actually that noisy; my guess is the data separates out quite nicely (not necessarily linearly).
Nitpick: Atheism is not a belief system.

The term denotes the lack of belief in deities, and exactly this and nothing else. This also means that it is not based on "faith" at all, as it does not posit any assumptions.

Humanism, on the other hand, can be described as a belief system.

Not to start the ball rolling in a religious debate or anything.

The World's First Modular Smartwatch
Prof.Gary Leupp:“U.S. Imperialism Existed Before ISIL and Will Likely Outlive It”
It's conjecture at this point to say anyone who programmed the ECU to do this knew what they were doing.

Saying that, it is likely they did know but this comes from above. There's a few psychology experiments that show many humans will do things they know are wrong or immoral when an authority figure tells them to do it even though they don't want to do it. The Milgram Experiment, for instance, comes to this conclusion, among others.

Peer pressure and obedience of authority are real phenomenons and that starts with the leadership that needs to be held accountable. Hearing an authority figure pass the blame to someone at the bottom is disgusting and barking up the wrong tree I believe.
I think it's simpler than that. If the Reviewer agrees that "I own this product" or "this is the truth" then it's a simple breach of contract, not a "freedom of speech" issue.

Not really. Upscaling is hardware, not some ridiculously slow software solution.

https://community.sony.co.uk/t5/blog-news-from-sony/inside-4...

Upscaling is a very state of the art technology, not some layman's solution.

There are firms that specifically targeted upscaling as their product and made millions with their state-of-the-art tech. Currently upscaling is in the rise again with 4K TVs. Back in the days they made some incredible chip solutions, sold them expensively to Sony, Samsung and similar. Sony realized they can, with all of their resources (super-HD movie database) make incredible upscalers.

Just imagine that Sony has stored whole movie The Walk (distributed by Sony Pictures) in your TV in 4K resolution, the moment this movie is displayed on your screen through some lower resolution sources, they find it in the database and display the 4K content. Of course, that's highly inneficient and memory intensive, thus, they use statistical models to efficiently store movie material and have fast chips to quickly approximate the real upscale.

This will then, if the sample (number of movies) is high enough, work well on all of the movie content.

But how do you know that, while playing with such an interactive visualization, you looked at all possible cases?

Also, let's say a theorem says two lines are parallel, two distances are equal, or three lines intersect in a single point, how are you going to judge that that's the case from such a display, even for one particular choice of points?
Two things.

1. The notion of "high availability" wasn't used much before "web scale" applications.

2. As others have said, the CAP theorem is kind of tautological and does more to confuse about what's possible than to clarify. For example, the CAP theorem implies that even eventual consistency is impossible in the case of partitions. If partitions can be of infinite length then no kind of consistency is possible; if partitions are finite, then all kinds of consistency are possible (with "availability" meaning very high latency, though). In short, the CAP theorem itself doesn't contribute much information to the analysis of distribution problems.

I recommend reading this nice overview of the issues with CAP: http://arxiv.org/abs/1509.05393

By 1998, there were way more than five back end servers. I don't remember exactly how many 8400s we had -- 20? 40? Something in that range. They'd gone up to 12 GB of RAM apiece, which came on boards the size of a fairly large baking sheet. The servers were as big as a refrigerator.

The primary datacenter was a floor above PAIX in the middle of downtown Palo Alto. Pricy server space.

If you wanted the consumers to be stateless, assuming they otherwise had a deterministic identity, then you could have the queue operate like a journal internally, but present a unified queue API to consumers.

So the queue keeps track of the high-watermark on a per consumer basis and all the consumer has to do is show up, tell the queue its deterministic name/id (might be driven by imaging, configuration, or SDN), and the queue will serve up the next new item that consumer hasn't seen yet.

This would be handy for really dynamic transient worker topologies because it keeps the mutable state and state tracking concerns entirely outside the transient worker.

That said, I still wouldn't use LevelDB. Unless I was expecting to do multi-attribute range queries or something (now we're well outside queue territory), but even then you're still folding over the data for knowable start/end markers and a linear scan over a binary term file will be faster than the multiple seeks + segment scans that LevelDB requires.
Reproduction is not a natural right.

> The article doesn't really give me the confidence that I could open a shop in that area, be nice to people and everything would be fine and dandy...

You would never feel safe enough. All those kids out there causing trouble, John knows who they are and who their parents are. Imagine if your best friend tried to rob one day. The second he opened his mouth, you'd know who he is, and you could say, "Jim? What the hell are you doing, man?"

Maybe if you moved there to open a shop, started with the bulletproof glass, then took it down one day after you got to know everyone, you could do that too. But it requires a different mindset than most people trying to operate a business.
Actually, genuinely curious here, does anyone know of a solid (popular) equivalent of MS Access, but web-based? The feature I'd put emphasis on is rapid point-and-click form creation, not the database and tables part (for that of course there are plenty).

I've developped a few web applications and forms along the years, but never could I get something together as quick as I did when I decided to try MS Access, for a prototype app. E.g. I've used Django, yes I can create forms pretty quick, but with Access with _no programming_ and 2-3 hours of familiarization I could put up forms with create/edit/delete functionality in something like 30 minutes, along with the underlying schema.

I haven't touched it since I created that prototype, but I was left wondering what's the equivalent in the webapp world, for the basic CRUD use-case.

I am not a psychologist, nor did I even take 101 in college, but I don't know if the Milgram Experiment came to a conclusion about perceived personality types. I did have a passing interest in these types of experiments for a few hours and read overviews and conclusions to them and I believe I recall "agreeableness" being something humans strive for to get accepted into a group. The Asch experiment in the 1950's showed people will purposely give the wrong answer if others in the group gave the wrong answer to a basic perception question. [1]

"Assholes", in your context would be people that don't fit the "culture" of the companies "group". Possibly off topic, but it's one of the reasons I always get a bit nervous when companies define their "culture".

> Lastly the whole image of a criminal and the prison system is wrong: they're often portrayed in media as tattooed scumbags and there are constant jokes about "dropping the soap" and getting raped in the ass. It points towards a huge dehumanization; imagine we talked about others like that, saying things like they're getting what they deserved. Prison itself has replaced rehabilitation and it entails immoral treatment from guards and fellow inmates.

There was a time when this was more or less my sentiment. Then I went to a prison and met some inmates.

Turns out, most prisoners are decent enough men that fucked up, usually because of desperation or drug induced mania. Almost all of the inmates I spoke with at length feel a deep sense of shame and obligation to right their wrongs. Many inmates, when given the opportunity, would like to leave prison in a better state than they arrived, i.e. with marketable job skills and the ability to resist their old ways (drugs, alcohol, crime, etc).

That is actually quite a freudian-insult to the UI.. if you learn the shortcuts ( not needing the GUI- its not so bad :)

A UI is for those who first access a software. And it has to provide instant understandable access to basic features without reading the manual. Every advanced feature can be hidden (clicks away), but the basics must be there.

If that is not the case and you have to learn the hotkeys or diggest a dozzen tutorials - well then there is no GUI.
