A lot of symbologies support some kind of modulo check digit. It's mostly there to detect erasure and substitution errors, because those are relatively common errors in decode. A modulo sum is better than nothing, considering that each additional digit increases the length of the barcode. If you're length-constrained, then adding more check-data is a difficult trade-off between stronger protection and smaller module size, meaning that you could add so much data that the barcode becomes too dense to print or read.

Not sure if you are being sarcastic, but there are people who can be hired to inspect trees to make sure they are healthy and structurally sound. If a host is going to highlight a tree swing as an amenity of a property, then they should should inspect that tree on an annual basis, if only to protect themselves from potential liability issues. In this instance, that would have likely prevented this tragedy.

I have not done the math, physics, etc on this, but it's an interesting idea worth exploring.

But that said, do we really belong in space when we cannot care for our own? Wouldn't that be akin to giving sugar to ants? only multiplying suffering and cruelty exponentially in space? Perhaps a refactoring of our culture and our methods of using/allocating/expending resources should be our first priority.

I'm cheating a little on the date, but The Three Body Problem by Liu Cixin stands out. It was translated into english late last year, and received the Hugo this year for best story. It's wonderful sci-fi written on a grand scale, and made all the more interesting and refreshing to me by coming from outside the Western perspective. It's one of a trilogy: The Dark Forest english translation is out, and Death's End is coming beginning of next year.

Also enjoyed Seveneves by Stephenson, and H is for Hawk by Helen Macdonald. The former is likely known to the HN crowd; the latter draws comparisons to T.H. White's classic The Goshawk.

Among non-fiction books, I enjoyed The Little Prover by Friedman and Eastlund. It was exactly what I expected, a gentle introduction into inductive proofs in the idiom established by The Little Schemer.
You're equating professional harassment regarding an external subject to sexual harassment within an internal workplace.

I don't think this is appropriate here, in the least bit. Not only is it distasteful, but it also was a poorly posited example that failed to even make the same connection to "bear poking"
I doubt this specific ruling would be overruled but it'd probably no longer be the precedent for future rulings.
That statistic doesn't tell you enough, because you don't know the rate of valid claims to invalid claims, and it's very possible that the "legal dispute with this particular company" filter exerts a powerful bias on that rate.
Good in-depth review.

The loss of performance/ability is going to cost a lot more than the nominal salary savings.
For many roles where there is differentiation of abilities (or projected abilities), IMO, you can't just enumerate job qualifications and hire the first one that fits.

NFL quarterback, MLB pitcher, NHL goalie are obvious examples, but my strongest senior employees are closer to that spread of ability and "value" versus the field than a pieceworker in a clothing factory or assembly line could ever be (and are compensated accordingly).

I also regularly hire people who don't meet the letter of the stated job qualifications. I certainly don't want to devolve to a lawyerly interpretation of job descriptions as contracts and litigate whether or not Chris Jones did or did not objectively meet the stated JD or whether I became aware that Chris Jones did meet them before I was aware that Terry Smith did, or whether after becoming aware that both met the qualifications, why I did not engage in salary negotiations to determine the lowest price that each would accept to join.

"I believe that candidate X was stronger than candidate Y [or a better value]" are valid reasons to select candidate X over Y, even if they both meet the job desc and regardless of whether either is in a majority or minority group of any sort, IMO.

Unfortunately, when mis-used, that hiring manager flexibility results in some ugly outcomes. It also results in a lot of good outcomes (where the strongest candidates are highly sought after, and where there is incentive to distinguish yourself positively as a candidate and as an employee).
I have no idea who you're responding to, but it's not me. My point is not that there aren't people with serious gluten intolerances, nor did I ever tell anyone to "toughen up and eat their veggies".
> particularly the private citizens being given some limited subset of police power

What is more worrying to me is when the police have more powers than the citizenry.

Recognising the right of free citizens to enforce the law is a-okay in my book, although of course that's not quite what England's doing.
The idea that the PM should be earning more than the tech staff doesn't make any sense to me and isn't reflective of the contract market anyway.
Reaching orbit is mostly an issue of velocity, not altitude. This is why balloons can get very high, above of almost all earth's atmosphere, while being far from orbit. Rockets spend most of their ascent traveling nearly horizontal to the ground (they only go straight up at the beginning to get out of the densest part of the atmosphere).

Does anyone know how this compares to Twitter's recently released torch autograd?

https://blog.twitter.com/2015/autograd-for-torch

EDIT: To be a bit more specific, autograd just requires that one writes the forward model, and it can involve any program logic like conditionals, etc, so long as the end result is differentiable. It then takes care of all the gradient calculations.
Which they do, recognizing the fact that if there are a few motorcycles parked in your lot, it makes the whole lot look cooler.

does exactly that with a reasonably good subset of SQL and ES query language mixed in.

It operates in 2 modes; in one it runs the query, in another it spits back out what the equivalent ES JSON query is. We use this as a quick prototyping tool and modify the ES query as needed, as most of us here still "think" in SQL for a lot of things.

That's a joke ... maybe to show how uncritically journalists will publish anything that comes across as "mathematical".
"Search mode" is the default because, 80% of the time, you're right, it is faster to just type a few characters. However, in about another 10% of cases (in my experience, and up until this point I've been the sole user of this thing), there are filenames that differ by a few characters at the end (lightning-cd.lisp vs lightning-cd.py is a good example), and it would take much longer to type out the entire unique portion of the filename than it would to hit two characters, switch modes, and then select downward once or twice.

I am considering adding in a fuzzy searching engine. However, because Lightning's primary mode (search mode) works by selecting on uniquely identifying substrings of filenames (the ones at the beginning in particular), a fuzzy search might make it more difficult to get a particular file because the algorithm would grab other filenames that you didn't want. I'll give it a try and see how it works.

> Tensors are the future; matrices are going to look so old in a few years.

I am honestly curious about this point of view. Is there any example where actual multidimensional tensor have any relevance? What I mostly see around is just standard linear algebra operations on matrices and vectors lifted to higher-dimensional tensors point-wise (for instance applying a certain operation to all 2-dimensional subtensors of a given tensor).

I never saw the need for modeling matrices in terms of tensors - the latter seem just more complex to use and usually tensor operations (like symmetrization, antisymmetrization, wedge products...) are not even available in libraries

(And by the way, both matrices and tensors are now more than one century old...)

Overwatch has had playable gameplay since the day it was accepting any form of pre-order.

The gameplay displayed wasn't some buggy alpha with placeholders.

I am 99% certain Overwatch will actually be released, especially as it's gone in Beta which Pre-orders have access to(?).

As I said, you can't compare this to anything Blizzard does. Blizzard usually comes through.

I live in Beachwood Canyon and I honestly don't mind the visitors, I think we forget we are a NYC stroll away from the hollywood strip and this is all part of being in a major city. The setting (quiet, tall trees and lush gardens and winding hilly roads and the absence of cell service) makes it easy to forget but we are still in the city and not some gated suburb.

This sounds very much like where I'm living. Asheville, NC is among the highest costs of living in NC but has among the lowest wages (cost of beer may be low, but I pay about the same for restaurant meals as I did in the DC area). But this is misleading because Asheville has among the richest of all zip codes in NC and even the US as well (Biltmore Forest's median household income in the zip code is $150k+). What also makes the statistics misleading is that a massive percentage of the population is retired which leads to a high percentage of cash-only home purchases which combined with the general lack of concern for value by many well-off retirees (many retirees here have multiple homes either in Florida or New Jersey) inflates housing for those that are still working.

The kids that keep flocking here seem to be fine with low wages in exchange for better quality of life than big cities - myself included. But "getting ahead" doesn't really exist here unless you're an incredibly talented restauranteur typically given the general lack of fast-growing industries that support much of a middle class besides healthcare. The culture here really does not respect greed very well unless you're already in the right social cliques that respect greed to some degree.

In short, I'd say that this socioeconomic is actually very representative of the problems that the US as a whole faces with generational gaps and opportunity gaps and shows that even if we eliminated race as an issue we'd still be left with surprisingly little difference in economic outcomes for labor (I think Asheville is something like 89%+ caucasian).
Agreed. This is what is called an 'act of god' in the insurance world. OSHA reports that over 100 people a year are killed by trees each year. Should we regulate trees with overhanging branches in all areas zoned as commercial or residential areas? Every year people die from falling trees onto the sidewalk.

What you're missing is called momentum investing. People are riding on the momentum of Facebook based on trailing properties from the last 3/6/12/x months [1]. If you were a value investor, like Buffett, and your valuation was based on fundamental analysis, you would have a very hard time making a compelling case that Facebook is fairly valued.

The other difficult thing about tech stocks is their store of value is vastly different than traditional industrial companies. Most of where people find value in the business of Facebook is it's the only real central store of more than 1 billion people's personal information. How do you price that? You can't buy a person (intangible asset) like you can buy a machine (tangible asset), but there is a price to having that knowledge. It's also not IP, like the primary intangible asset of biotech and pharma stocks.

Can you see why people like Buffett (and his mentor, Ben Graham) don't believe in the Efficient Market Hypothesis?

Minneapolis/St.Paul MN is right in the sweet spot. Tons of really good jobs out here, plenty of reasonably affordable and interesting housing in the sub/urban areas. Good education system, great music scene.

There are some downsides of course, the winters of course and there are some racial social issues (not addressing here to avoid derailing thread).

With all that being said I am looking to add some good software devs to my green field project at a very big local player in the medical insurance field.

Hurting enemies while they're fighting, presumably to make them stop being able to hurt you or whomever you're protecting, has always been granted a special moral free pass.

But if there is no fight occurring, and the enemy is subdued and unable to cause harm, then the situation has changed a bit, into a greyer area.

I've also met a guy who has used water-boarding in the field, and he didn't seem like a sadist. He felt pretty bad about using it, though he thought it effective and necessary.

You are making the argument that Snowden should have done nothing, when in fact that is the least moral thing to do in that situation.

The US is not some how "weaker" because of Snowden - it's weaker because of it's flagrant disrespect to all other nations in the world, especially our allies.
I'm looking at the RNN implementation right now (https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorf...). It looks like the loop over the time frames is actually in Python itself.

I think it's possible to more or less exclude nudity.

If you kick out anonymity and build out profiles around user's social networks (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter etc), which something like this would do, there are some good ways to 1) be pretty sure of identity and 2) make sure people can't create duplicate accounts.

With those parameters I think out of the gate people are less likely to whip out their junk, and, if they still do it multiple times, they can effectively be banned.
Sachs's popular books consistently embellished reality to make a better popular read, and never really got called out on it by the scientific community , perhaps because psychiatry was rather unscientific --or rather pseudodcientific -- thought the early decades of Zach's career. Sachs wasn't exremely harmful in this respect (relative to the horrors of pre-21st century psychiatry, including the folder it gave to the rise of Scientology to prey on The mentally ill), but still provided more infotainment than education.

I'm kinda floored, by this. Have been developing a flow based language to do this. Even started with the approach of using Python and then moving to scripting directly in C++. Maybe I tweak my own project. Anyone playing with low level GPU deployments, like Metal?

[EDIT] Ok, so there is some GPU - should probably play some more before asking obvious questions. Really keen on scripting out flow directly.
That's OK, this tool isn't for everyone :)

Lightning was built because I was tired of both the "cd x; ls; cd x; ls; cd x" and "cd x<tab>x<tab>/xx<tab>x<tab>" patterns and wanted something faster where all I had to do was hit the right keys and I would automagically get to my destination. It's less about finding files than it is about getting to them; in fact, I can imagine myself opening files found with the above method much faster with Lightning than I would using standard shell tools. But that might just be me.
The article is bitter sweet to me. Bitter because it's yet another little step in a huge march intended to erode freedom. Sweet, because they track WiFi signals.

In 2012 I started turning WiFi and location off on my phone as I left home. I remember the date because it's when London got 4G, and as of that date I no longer really needed WiFi, but I did need my battery to last the day.

It's become habit.
Using PassportJS in Your Node.js and Couchbase Web App
So, i have a very simple question.. :

I want to start deep learning now, to implement RNNs, autoencoders, Q-learning on a very specific application (not images).

I've read a lot of papers, but not done any DL implementations yet (although many classical ML so far), my question is very simple :

Where do I start ????

Should I use Torch ? Theano ? Theano + pylearn2 ? Theano + pylearn + Lasagne ? Caffe ?

Or should I just switch to this magical new library directly ?

I feel confused.. any advice ?
The small educational centre where I teach has recently provided free wifi to users of the building. It is a good connection. You have to give a mobile phone number once to use the system.

This morning, I went in with my old Thinkpad on which I have replaced Xubuntu with Slackware/MLED including a complete reformat and encryption of the SSD. The wifi recognised the machine and greeted me by name. I can only assume that the server is recording the MAC addresses of devices that use the system. That is just about the only thing left that it could be reading.

Of course, that's the point: You are running under the rescue kernel.

Is the path to your database directory still the same? If not, edit your configuration to point to the new location, try to use mysql tools.

If you cannot use mysql tools, you need to provide very detailed and ample diagnostic information to for anyone to be able to help you diagnose why you can't use them.

An alternative is to create another droplet with the exact same configuration, install the exact same MySQL version on it, use the exact same configuration file, and copy over the data files.

Good luck.
In my domain (finance) correlations between vectors are unstable but (maybe) dependent on cross-sectional relationships in the problem space. Some of the mathematics behind elastic body deformation (car tyres in in mechanical engineering, fluid dynamics in weather forecasting) have high applicability. Tensors are required.

It's true that tensors are hard to reason about - they overclock my brain most of the time - but there is no doubt that, just like moving from scalars to vectors massively increases your real-world modelling power, so does the natural extrapolation to matrices, and from there, tensors.
Torture works just fine if you need readily verifiable information such as the combination to a safe, pin number, etc. Not so much for general information like "give me the names of your comrades"

Because I am from China. Smart TVs are their best products. But LeTV is still not a very famous brand. The quality is not good. I heard some LeTV died after a year. Its market share is still tiny. But this company just released android phones. I don't think LeTV phones are better than HTC, not to mention iPhone. I can't believe this company also produce bicycles, and now it wants to build cars. If a company wants to do everything, it can't do anything well.
