Without disagreeing with your argument, your particular example is flawed; on my tour (2012), a number of people declined to bow to the statues and it was fine. It's certainly true that some behaviour is unacceptable, but choosing not to bow to the statues was utterly inconsequential.

Just to clarify, R was initially a dialect of Scheme. On the other hand, with its frustrating silent type changes, you can see its S roots in the same place that gave us C and C++. That's quite a combination in terms of learning curve.

Why does pretty much all the marketing and examples of "groundbreaking" new/faster tech for raytracing/pathtracing always just show outside IBL-lit scenes?

These are easy to resolve (generally within 32 progressions with MIS for diffuse surfaces).

Similarly, they rarely show anything other than perfectly specular glass, or pretty rough microfacet surfaces, which with indirect caustics off (which they obviously have in the above examples), again is pretty trivial to resolve.

Indoor scenes with many lights (lots of them sometimes occluded) with lots of indirect illumination is going to be a lot slower, and for games I would have thought this is important: I don't see how this latter scenario is workable in real time, without lots of cheats.

Ask HN: Stock Assignment Separate from Certificate Signed Blank
We are in the process of incorporating, and the lawyer (representing the corporation) is asking for a pre-signed blank "Stock Assignment Separate from Certificate" document.

The rational of this being that this is to be used in case of founder stock repurchase before vesting has completed or the company exercising it's Right of First Refusal.

Is this something the founders should sign and is it standard practice? Thank you.

Members of the band Tool convinced many people to go hunting for Ronald P. Vincent's "Joyful Guide To Lachrymology," on the study of therapeutic crying, by making the inspirational book a part of their origin story.

Firstly, he certainly did say 'all Muslims' - it's easy to check since it was surely reported and repeated in his campaign television Ad. It doesn't look good for you when you try to distort this.

Secondly - there is no such clarity around this being a ban on people from specific countries. If he wanted to clarify this, he could have done, but he has not.

He has specifically mentioned the UK as place where there are radical Muslim terrorists (which is true). Would they be freely allowed into the US?

How about non-Muslim people from North Africa and the Middle East?

It may be temporarily reasonable to put a list of countries on a 'no visa' list, but that is not what he said at all.

Given that people across the world have not understood this as what he meant, he could easily have clarified himself but he has chosen not to.

Since he knows how he was understood, either he did mean what he said, or he is intentionally inflaming the situation.

Either way this is disqualifying behavior for a presidential candidate.

i'm talking way back during the industrial revolution. these decaying empires of the region in that time were ripe for the picking for the emerging powers of the world.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran–Russia_relations

check the history section, particularly the 1800s:

"In his later years of rule, Peter the Great found himself in a strong enough position to increase Russian influence more southwards in the Caucasus, the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea at the cost of the two declining empires; the Safavid Empire and the Ottoman Empire."
I think that may have been what the article was trying to claim. The Koreans learned from the Japanese, and the Soviets simply recruited these Koreans to set up the cult of personality around the Kim family. It doesn't matter that Kim Il Sung fought against the Japanese, the Soviets installed many of the same high-ranking Koreans that were previously doing propaganda for Japan, except they were doing propaganda for the Soviet puppet regime.
Now, let me just dispel a myth you stated. You believe that "Given two equally talented people, the one that pursues a goal obsessively, for well over 40 hours a week, is going to achieve more."

This works for people like Carmack because he's always gotten to choose precisely what he wants to do in each of those 40+ hours.
This is a introduction to fundamental statistics, and not a very instructive one. For example, this is incorrect:

"By definition, one standard deviation is the amount of variance within a set of measurements that encompasses approximately the top 68 percent of all measurements in the data set; in other words, knowing the standard deviation of your data set tells you how densely the data points are clustered around the mean."

The 68% refers to a rule of thumb for normal distributions, not the definition of standard deviation.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation

Also, applying this rule will get you in big trouble if your data happens to have a mean that's less than zero:

“Data with a standard deviation greater than half of its mean should be treated as suspect. If the data is accurate, the phenomenon the data represents is not displaying a normal distribution pattern.”

I'm not sure what that means, because a default R installation will always stop on an error.

That's user error. No programming language can catch that - it can only detect errors that are defined as errors.

It's unfortunate that a "lessons learned" paper summarizing a sabbatical in industry doing customer-facing work would not be publishable. Surely it's far more useful to other academics than most papers. It'd definitely be more broadly relevant.

My wife is a professor in a practical field and I'm always sad to hear what counts as a "good" paper or a publishable article. The big journals in these fields drive the notion of what is and isn't legitimate research. That's the point where what constitutes career-advancing "academic output" has to be changed. But I'm not enough of an insider to have any idea of how to go about doing that.

> I think this is quite normal and why people recommend not measuring yourself every day.

After weighing myself every day on a Withings scale for 3.5 years, I disagree with this recommendation. I recommend weighing oneself every day, just not necessarily immediately acting upon the measurement, because of the instability you mention. I step on the scale once a day upon waking. I review the trend in my graph about once a week to see if I need to adjust my diet. Having the recorded electronic measurement makes it possible to decouple the act of taking the measurement from the mental effort of thinking about what it means. I've found this very useful in managing my body fat.

SHA-3 (Keccak) is not a better choice, because it has a considerable performance difference between hardware and software implementations, while BLAKE is very fast in software (or current general-purpose CPUs), which is good for most defenders (as they use general purpose hardware) and bad for attackers (as the cost of specialized hardware is increased). None of the Password Hashing Competition submissions used Keccak, and even the authors of Keccak recommended against using it for password hashing.

I would consider Win10 if there is an option to disable the phone home stuff. Without the LTSB license, you simply cannot deactivate all stuff. Why are various IP addresses and domains white listed in signed kernel mode dlls?

Microsoft still thinks the will get away with this. Their bad. They will get problems with their mass collection of data from sensitive areas like doctors, lawyers, etc.

Windows 7 is a very good OS until at least 2020 (minus recent phone-home updates). And every other OS including OSX, iOS, Android and Linux are more forthcoming and less hostile to the end user. (all tracking, crash reporting and phone home features can be deactivated in all OS except Win10)

Photorealism in video games has arrived. It's arrived at least 6-7 times, depending on how you count console generations. Even 16-bit consoles were called photorealistic in their day, and then their successors were, and then THEIR successors were, and so on. It's almost as though we're asymptotically approaching a carefully-chosen marketing-driven goal that can never actually be reached, but towards which we can continually make (ever-tinier) steps.
Sadly, he is right about there being no concrete evidence supporting learning styles. I have been following this for quite some time, both my Egorg products and (soon to be) Study Swami are based on the idea that students differ in how they learn.

The interesting thing, though, is that any teacher with a decent amount of experience (I taught physics for 15 years, both as a TA and as a community college professor) sees that students do seem to learn differently. Some students need a clear, verbatim explanation of something. Others need to dance around the concept first, getting a feel for it, before they able to even parse such an explanation.

I'm not sure what it is linked to. I suspect that our 'bins' of learning styles are too narrow, or somehow else incorrect. The obvious ones came first, more-or-less 5 senses with each sense being aligned with a 'style' (I learn math better by smell...
). The students in the studies are categorized into different learning styles (usually) based on a survey (which, I would argue, really amounts to learning preferences rather than styles). It would be interesting to see tests of actual learning done with different presentations for forming the baseline assignments to a particular style.

But even then the problem is that the bins are pre-decided (verbal or visual? global or sequential?) I think this is a little too simplistic.

So while I suspect that there is actually something to the idea of learning differently (rather than just 'g'), for the moment, anyway, learning styles seem to be bullshit.
I would suspect that the NSA put all their data (and metadata is really just data) together.

The story is nice and congrats for not giving up. However, I think you are on a level where you need to take a decision, would this become a real business or you'll keep it like it's now.

As a side project it's awesome, as a business not so much. IF you want to make a business from this you need to start thinking on how to market, price and develop new features for clients that will pay more or at least to find ways to get power users.

I saw on a reply of yours that you don't want to add some business requested features because individuals don't want them or you don't want them. Well, do you want higher revenues, higher growth or do you want to keep it like it's now(not saying that current state is bad)? Saying also that you know what's more useful is quite wrong, it's a mindset you need to change, once you target someone that is not you, you must at least assume that they have different needs.

Even though individuals don't want those features, they are not the ones who'll bring the most money and if you really wanted you could create a business version like many other SaaS do, and you know this.

From your replies I sense that you want to focus on individuals, that's great. In this case, forget about pricing, revenue, etc focus on building the user base, more likely a good stream of word-of-mouth sign ups. That's what most B2C apps do.
There are lots of successful entrepreneurs in the world. Very few of them have success building startups in the sense that Silicon Valley uses the word. Much of what passes for a startup these days is a new small business and successful small business entrepreneurs often bring successful small business practices such as not paying employees for hours worked to their mentoring advice.

Would you take out a loan to work at a hotel or dry cleaners or construction company? That this is even on the table shows how disinterested people in a form of mutual success that includes you.

My experience is that before people screw me, they display tells. An unwillingness to pay is the most obvious. Take the CTO position without salary and it will be easy for people to rationalize not paying you based on your already having accepted not being paid. If your internship was also unpaid, that's probably the reason that the unpaid CTO position is being floated.

It's not any better if your internship was paid. An upaid CTO position then signals a willingness to take a pay cut and call it a promotion.
4chan also exploited reCAPTCHA when it was just bought by google and they used it to OCR books. reCAPTCHA provides you with two words, and one is much easier to recognize than the other. So 4chan users created a simple website with lots of reCAPTCHAs, typed in the easy word correctly to pass the test and typed in "nigger" instead of the second word. As many users raided at the same time, Google OCRed hard to recognize words as "nigger".

The buyer made the mistake of thinking he was dealing with StubHub rather than the seller. If he had been smart, he would have asked asked StubHub for the seller's details with the comment that he would be filing suit against either StubHub or the seller.

StubHub is a marketplace and sellers frequently sell tickets they don't own. This works out because tickets frequently drop in price shortly before the game and, for the times that they don't, sellers usually eat the loss. But this seller decided not to deliver and, for that, they should be sued. The equivalent in the stock market would be to short a stock and then not pay up when the stock quadrupled. Given that the value of the loss suffered by the buyer is roughly $5k ($6k tickets less ~$k credit at StubHub), it's a good candidate for small claims court.

Academic research that unknowingly (or sometimes even knowingly) duplicates secret industry work is much more valuable than this discussion indicates. Sure, it's not valuable _to Google_ for someone to publish things they already know. But everyone else benefits. If people at Google want their research to stop being duplicated, they should publish it.

Of course, if your goal is that Google adopt your new system in their data centers, then you need to know what they already do. But the problem with that model of research is the initial goal, not the way it's currently executed.
