The particular service that I'm offering, the membership. It could surely make up your cost... But it is more oriented towards do it yourself traders, it's not necessarily geared for Buy and Hold. For example on 1/28/15 the algorithm produced a buy signal on Amazon. If you followed that tip on 1/28 or 1/29, then you would have received ~100% return your investment. http://www.strategic-options.com/trade/stock/amazoncom-inc

So your $10,000 dollar invest would now be worth $20,000. That would surly cover you membership cost of $600. You can find other winners here: http://www.strategic-options.com/trade/open/market_analysis/... (click the winners tab)

It's bizarre how many people seem to think that "eating a good diet" is easy. They may be under the impression that "easy to describe" and "easy to implement" are the same thing.

The title is ironic for me given that I've seen mathematical types push formal specification of software (eg Z, VDM) for over a decade straight with a consistent, English-related justification. They say that English is too imprecise and ambiguous to be sure you can understand what specs mean. It was true in practice enough that a combined formal (math) and informal (English) specification became a requirement for any correctness and security argument for highly assured systems.

And now some are saying English is trivial. Haha.

Thanks for the feedback. It is for personal blogging.

Agree it may look like other sites. But the difference is there are fewer steps to produce content. You edit the site in-place clicking parts of it so you anticipate changes much better.

Same with posting: why should personal blogs have harder to use writing tools than a social network?

Your posts should be discoverable. Your blog has a "couchdb" post but it would take a lot of looking to find it.

Not trying to sell it - just want to understand if the message wasn't clear, and why you don't find it valuable.
I have 10 minutes left before I won't be online for 5 hours. So let's talk about the issues.

Why shouldn't adult students be able to govern themselves with regard to Halloween costumes?

Why do adult students require guidance from administrators to determine what is and isn't allowed?

Why are adult students upset that someone has asked these questions?
Do you happen to have any good resources on best practices or things to consider when working on complex event processing? After reading your comment, it occurred to me this has been something I've been getting closer and closer to at work, but haven't really gotten quite to this level yet (currently we allow more targeted queries that run at regular intervals, but it's always been the eventual goal to be notified in real-time). It's far too infrequent that I get a chance to get ahead of a project and do some research, given the frequently shifting focus and short time-frame for work here, but I know this will be a priority at some point in the not too distant future.
A while back I tried out the Popcorn Time app that kept making news before it was shuttered (via VPN of course). It wasn't so much that I didn't want to pay for anything. We subscribe to digital cable with HBO, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. My girlfriend watches cable a lot on the living room TV but I usually watch everything via HBO Go, Comcast On Demand, Amazon streaming, or Netflix. It's typically just easier than futzing around with the terrible DVR and I tend to pick up a show and watch it in chunks/seasons.

The thing that really struck me about Popcorn Time wasn't the fact that it was "OMG piracy!" or anything groundbreaking (torrents aren't new and some clients feature watching while you download). It was the fact that I could skim through every show, bookmark favorites, and see which episodes I already watched. You could search by genre or popularity or year like on Netflix. And there were no issues of trying to figure out which service has the show I want to watch, which one has the site that only works properly in that one browser, etc.

My takeaway, as someone who constantly flirts with cord-cutting, is that I'd totally pay someone (even Comcast) for a legal service like that. Hell, I'd even pay $50/mo or whatever cable costs on top of my internet service. In fact, I might even pay more because I could skip some of the other subscriptions. In fact, if cable is feeling the crunch from Netflix, then maybe they ought to out-Netflix Netflix.

I already treat Netflix like a low-cost equivalent to basic cable where you can't just go in expecting to find a certain new movie or show but you can usually flip around and find something you'd like to watch. I understand why it would be tough for some companies to negotiate the contracts for all that content but if anything, cable companies have loads of experience and existing partnerships for this sort of thing.

TL;DR: I'd gladly pay $50/mo for a legal Popcorn Time that delivers current and previous seasons of lots of shows in an easily searchable and bookmark-able interface via on-demand streaming. Streaming shows/series isn't new anymore but the missing piece is consistency and a single interface. I'm sure they'd screw it up in reality but if I'm fantasizing about the "perfect TV" that I'd gladly pay for, that would be it.

Describing it as "knowingly offensive" seems pretty crazy to me (though obviously others disagree).
However lots of music is meant to play on the radio, and not to be too dynamic since that would just get lost. The clip is likely less compressed than a considerable portion of radio play, which in turn is likely how most recorded music is listened too, even today.
...ah, nice price (fair, but decidedly not RPi or CHIP scale). Mentally noted, at least :D
The difference is that in C and derived languages, nullability is completely tied to pointer types. All pointer types are nullable, and no non-pointer types are nullable. Having nullability/optionality be a separate concept makes everything nicely composable and solves some big problems.

If you have an interface which returns a pointer that's never NULL, you still have to return a nullable pointer. The non-nullability of the value can only be encoded in documentation or naming conventions. Because of this, the language has to make it easy to use pointers without first checking for NULL, otherwise all these interfaces would become a giant pain in the ass to use. And that means that when you're working with an interface which can return NULL, you have nothing that forces you to check for that. You just have to remember. It's similar for function parameters.

Optional types also work for non-pointer types, which C's NULL simply cannot do. That's a major plus, beyond the problem of all pointers being nullable.

You're right that an optional type is actually two types. But it's designed such that you can't get at the underlying runtime type without first checking to see what it is. That's a huge difference.
Update 4:53 PM EST: I only managed to reformat the Preamble and Chapter 1. Still no word from genius.com about the issues I am having. I tweeted for the first time: https://twitter.com/TeeAyKay/status/663830955971338240 . I kept the language of the tweet neutral to see who participates. I know I am potentially opening the flood gates to abuse on genius, but hopefully the dry subject matter will keep the trolls away and attract people who can bring insight and foresee potential consequences. I am biased towards lawyers in this regard, but they might just be like too much of "I am not your lawyer" to participate.

Thanks, to genius.com for providing the platform for this endeavour (I hope you get in touch with me!).
I'm torn. I have 3 older Rokus that are in need of an upgrade. I'm trying to decide between a new Roku and an Apple TV.

Roku
Pros:
-Has an app for the iPhone that I can use when I misplace the remote and can use the iOS keyboard for text input
-Has a native Amazon Prime client.
-Find remote feature
-Remote with headphone jack
-Dedicated app for Pandora and Spotify

Cons
-anemic app store outside of streaming video
-No AirPlay
-processor not as powerful

AppleTV:
Pros:

AirPlay Support
More powerful processor
Better apps

Cons:
Doesn't support Apple's remote app (yet?)
Fragile remote
On screen keyboard seems like a pain
No Amazon Prime support without using AirPlay
No headphone jack on remote
No Pandora or Spotify app (yet?)

The interesting thing is that it is very often used for Agile project management. It's massive overkill for that. It has the feel of something that evolved from an issue-tracking system, because it existed before Agile and morphed into an Agile tool.
This article doesn't go into these details. I recall reading in prior articles on this, that many of these kits are processed by private labs.

Even the tests are done by the state, the costs will largely be related to the expense of the technology which was likely created by a bio-tech startup.

> Victims and Eyewitnesses can and do make mistakes. Security footage can show someone who looks like a suspect but DNA (when properly tested) provides irrefutable proof.

DNA (when properly tested) can provide a substantial degree of certainty of whether the person from whom the material in one sample came was the same as the person from whom the material in another sample came (and can provide an even greater certainty that that is not the case.)

Of course, the provenance of at least one of the samples in a normal criminal investigation is itself to subject to all kinds of uncertainties which are resolved to what amounts to testimony of witnesses (in documentary form) to various steps in the process. So, in the sense that witnesses are fallible or potentially malicious, it doesn't actually eliminate that problem.

OK, it's American slang. We're talking about an American college here, and I suspect that the majority of the people in the conversation are Americans. That means that you are the one insisting on using words in ways that are not the standard meaning.

'New York Times' Bets Big on Virtual Reality
PyPy.js literally starts with PyPy compiled to asm.js, so you intrinsically get relatively comprehensive Python compatibility right out of the box. Brython, as I understand it, is an independent attempt at implementing a subset of Python in JavaScript.

Edit: rfk addresses this directly around 46:00 in the interview. Paraphrased: "The big trade-off Brython does to get good performance is the number model. Things there map pretty directly to JavaScript. But if you overflow or do something different, you suddenly won't get Python's semantics. If you're writing new code for Brython, it's a good set of trade-offs, and in some ways you get tighter integration with the browser and the DOM. But if you're trying to take some existing code off the shelf and run it... you're more likely to run into issues."

I agree that there is a mess, but what kind of mess is it? What about it makes it a mess? Is perhaps because the JS interpreter is embedded (the DOM calls it)? Is it that the DOM is poorly suited for what we used to call "rich" internet applications? Or is it Javascript itself that is the problem?
> The current conservative treatment for white spot lesions is to be judicious with cleaning

And I'll point out that my current dentist is the only one I've ever had (or known of) who actually bothers to rigorously teach his patients how to clean their teeth well. Most apparently don't believe this is possible or worth their time. Obviously that's not going to take with every patient, but it's really quite amazing the difference between thinking you're doing what needs done (yet having the hygienist grumble all the same), and actually getting the plaque off every time. Put another way, diligence != skill when it comes to dental hygiene.
Per the letter she isn't arguing for offensive speech, she's asking (among other things) when does certain speech (here represented by costumes) become offensive? A paraphrase: Why can my friend's 5-year old white daughter dress as Mulan, but a 22-year old white woman can't? That's a valid question. She's not declaring that the latter is ok, but asking why we currently accept the former and not the latter. At what age is the distinction made between "Oh, she's so precious" and "She's appropriating a culture that's not her own!"?

And if you want to go with community and what's appropriate. It's a fucking college. Colleges are places of discussion, learning and debate. College is the place to be offended. To learn why something is offensive, why something else is not, and determine whether offense is appropriate or not.

What's funny is that a lot of the times the people in power would seek to ban certain books because they were (supposed to be) harmful mentally. Now the students are turning around and almost saying, 'you were right, take these books away!'
I had crown lengthening done once. The procedure is basically cutting away your gum to expose more of the bottom of the tooth (gives more surface area for a crown to attach). The "cutting" with a laser, so it's basically just burning away the gums. I could see actual smoke rising out of my mouth and it distinctly smelled like cooking bacon. It was very surreal because I didn't FEEL anything.
I had 6/10 on Neil Young and 5/10 on Gangnam Style.

That said, he claims "less than 9 is not meaningful". But by my calculations an 8/10 is significantly different from chance alone; to some extent, 7/10 is as well.

Suppose random guesses are drawn from a Binomial distribution -- each sample is an urn containing balls black and white (both equally likely) and we count how many white balls we can get.

This is the CDF: people who get 1 answer right score better than only 1% of people.

> What I mostly see around is just standard linear algebra operations on matrices and vectors lifted to higher-dimensional tensors point-wise

Equally what is matrix multiplication but a bunch of 1-dimensional dot products applied pointwise? why do we need matrices?

I do get what you're saying, and that part of it is that ML / CS folk just use 'tensor' as a fancy word for a multi-dimensional array, whereas physics folk use the word for a related coordinate-basis-independent geometric concept. But for numerical computing broadcasting simple operations over slices of some big array is really useful thing to be able to do fast and to express concisely.

Numerics libraries which don't bother to generalise arrays beyond rank 1 and 2 always feel rather inelegant and limiting to me. Rank 3+ arrays are often really useful (images, video, sensory data, count data grouped by more than 2 factors, ...), and lots of operations generalise to them in a nice way. Good array programming environments (numpy, torch, APL take advantage of this to provide an elegant general framework for broadcasting of operations without ugly special cases.

It's one thing to go after the rapists after all these years, but how about also going after the police officers, captains and chiefs that approved of stashing evidence of major sex crimes on shelves? There are surely many cases where the rapists, because their crimes weren't prosecuted the first time, went on and re-offended due to this criminal negligence. The moral bankruptcy is pretty high here.

When toll-free phone number services started providing number identification to the service in the 1980s, American Express had their system look up the customer's record from the phone number, and their operators started greeting customers by name. Some customers saw this as "creepy", and American Express stopped such greetings, although the customer's record was still looked up.

Today, everybody has caller ID and name lookup.

The argument would be that it reduces an important world culture to a cartoon stereotype.

(It is a stupid argument.)
The author fails to give this story proper context, and it seems like many in this thread have not read the article and are simply venting based on the title and a brief glance over of the author's arguments.

This is not a demonstration of "SJW" or students acting like sheltered children. It's about students protesting against a campus culture that they feel discriminates against them. Such as when a frat house explicitly banned black girls from entering on Halloween. [1]

This is the closest the author comes to addressing the real issue, rather than picking anecdotes and quotes to defend his thesis while hyperbolically [2] bashing the "activists":

Some Yalies are defending their broken activist culture by seizing on more defensible reasons for being upset. “The protests are not really about Halloween costumes or a frat party,” Yale senior Aaron Lewis writes. “They’re about a mismatch between the Yale we find in admissions brochures and the Yale we experience every day. They’re about real experiences with racism on this campus that have gone unacknowledged for far too long. The university sells itself as a welcoming and inclusive place for people of all backgrounds. Unfortunately, it often isn’t.”

But regardless of other controversies at Yale, its students owe Nicholas and Erika Christakis an apology. And they owe apologies to other objects of their intolerance, too.

This is bad and misleading journalism written to generate views and stoke a flame war by bringing in the popular theme of college-student-as-inept-coddled-child-who-fights-for-trivial-things-and-bullies-others.

[1] https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2015/11/0...

[2] This beggars belief. Yale students told to talk to each other if they find a peer’s costume offensive helplessly declare that they’re unable to do so without an authority figure specifying “any modes or means to facilitate these discussions,” as if they’re Martians unfamiliar with a concept as rudimentary as disagreeing in conversation, even as they publish an open letter that is, itself, a mode of facilitating discussion.
