So can you occupy rooms in more than one location at the same time?

No?

Then it's just a really expensive room with high booking/cancellation flexibility and customer lock-in (you won't pick another room in a city if you've already paid for this).

So this seems to be basically just a premium version of what a youth hostel line membership gets you. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I can imagine that the business model might work.

(If the answer is actually "Yes" then I'm surprised and 1600$ doesn't seem so bad.)

Focusing on just how the code looks is like concentrating on the paint job of a car and ignoring everything else. The deeper, more important concept, is that is the theory of the program understood and communicated lucidly through the code.

I'm once more evoking Peter Naur's "Programming as theory building"

http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~remzi/Naur.pdf

"Maybe different styles intersect and collide and create some kind of fruitful chaos. And so on."

No, coding is not an art where noise synthesis produces reasonable results.
Males and females have totally different social behaviours, instincts, communication styles, interests and temperaments. The different hormones in our bodies alone make a massive difference. This is also true in the animal world. We have different brains, evolved for very different tasks.

Can any deep learning experts answer a related question I have? What's the state of the art in recognising rotated 3d objects?

I know that deep learning systems can recognise, e.g., different animal toys held in the hand, at different distances from the camera. How about shapes which are rotated? (I assume shapes rotated with the same face showing the camera are fairly trivial to recognise, I mean the other two rotations - 'pitch' and 'yaw').

I have a hunch that humans have a ton of perceptual hardware devoted to precisely this task, and that deep neural nets are going to have a hard time cracking it. Is my hunch accurate?

One thing that I'm having trouble with is HTTP/HTTPS streaming with VLC on Android. Almost every time it's unable to open the stream after trying to load it for a number of seconds. Does anyone else have this, or is it just me with some weird configurations?

For example, I wasn't able to stream any of the 32C3 streams, they only worked via the in-browser player.
when i looked to google for "gender essentialism" the top result says: "Gender essentialism is the idea that men and women have inherent, unique, and natural attributes that qualify them as their separate genders."

well yeah i'd agree with that.

also you say it's demonstrably false but don't demonstrate anything.
Kind of related, I'm really disappointed at Google Maps's inability to deal with my country's addressing scheme. We practically have two parallel systems in use: the usual street+number, and district+number. Almost without exception, the latter is used only for blocks of flats and other residential buildings built under the former communist regime. Each building only has an actual address in one of these systems, i.e. either it's directly on a street and given a number, or it's offset from the main street with a small unnamed side street going to it and given the next sequential number for the district, or it is on an actual street, but the street doesn't have numbers or a name posted. This does mean that buildings in the district+number scheme are practically plopped at random and there is no guarantee that N will be next to N+1 and sometimes a building gets an extension and the extension's number is N-A. Sometimes you have a pair of buildings planned and N-A and N-B allocated for them, but then N-B gets cancelled and you only have N-A...

Paper maps work by having a reference on the back telling you at which rough coordinates building N in district X is and our homegrown online maps simply have all the GPS coordinates for every building.

However, in Google's case, half the time it fails if I write "City, district number". It knows, say, building 219, but not 220, even though they're right next to each other. It seems to treat the entire "district number" string like a property name, like if you have a property called "the awesome steakhouse" and type "the awesome steakhouse" in maps, it shows you where the awesome steakhouse is in the city.

One way to solve this problem is to create a data license that allows data sharing for replication use only until some embargo date set by the researcher. This would allow external researchers to immediately replicate published results, but would prohibit them from unfairly benefiting from someone else's hard work.

Except that women are 200% preferred over men on STEM.

The only discrimination and oppression is against men and the only harassment is for people who point out the data.

Btw, PhD students as well as professors have been ripped off since forever - it is what makes a lot of people leave academia. You only focus on Marie Curie or Rosalind Franklin etc. because they are women.

Men hate other men because they want to prove themselves - it is genetically wired among our brains. Women have been using that to select mates since the dawn of time. It doesn't make them immoral, but let us not got so much carried away that "facts" and "science" look less important to us.

Conspiracy is usually something that is non-obvious. The sociodynamics of religion are quite obvious, and closer to a mass hysteria.

The parish provides a sufficient population that enables social proof to convince people automatically of the correctness of believing and belonging. It's not that the priesthood makes people believe things - it's the people, and the social proof and the social pressure that does this. The priesthood gains political power (which all men yearn, consciously or not), and when co-operate with the state provide a channel of mass control and communication. Thus the people perpetuate the belief, and the state has no incentive to intercede.
This gender essentialist bullshit is demonstrably false.

No.

We do not, at this point, understand brain development well enough to prove or disprove sex essentialism / sex culturalism. The article says it: "Cause-and-effect is tough to tease apart". What it should have said is "Cause-and-effect are impossible to tease apart with 2015 technology". That is the only credible position to hold in 2015. What we do know is that there are observable biological differences between men and women, even at the level of the individual cell. To what extent they influence higher cognitive functions and their relationships to environmental stimuli is not clear.

what about Ada Lovelace, Margaret
Hamilton, and Grace Hopper?

> Males and females have totally different social behaviours, instincts, communication styles, interests and temperaments.

Are you basing this on personal observation, or some documented studies, research etc?

I disagree with you completely, but I'd like to know on which specific grounds I should debate this topic with you.

EDIT: Just to be specific, I think that individuals will have "totally different social behaviours, instincts, communication styles, interests and temperaments". You can't just say "Males and Females", as you could just as easily insert any two discernible groups into that sentence. Inuits vs. !Kung would fit the bill just as well. Males and Females aren't defined by their gender, but by all the other things that make up their individual personalities.

Ask HN: How should I start with modern JS?
I've got a little experience with Python, and I like how the simplistic syntax works. I'm keen to develop JS code, but I'm confused by the current JS ecosystem. Is it best to learn normal JS, or some compiles-to-JS language (like coffeescript etc). And is there anywhere I can learn about the apparently huge number of JS tools and workflows out there?
Ugh. I don't understand all this recent Broad/Lander vitriol. You can ask pretty much anyone in the field and they'll all say the work was a tour de force (see first comment in the article for instance). Focusing on the press release wording misses the point imo.
When the value of money falls very deep in a crisis and investors don't want to invest but keep their money liquid, then banks may charge you a fee for allowing you to park your money with them, instead of paying you for loaning it to them.

The person you are replying to is clearly a troll, but I would like to question the logic you have about why STEM is 90%.

The list of academic disciplines which has over 90% of participants in a single gender is quite long, with only a minor few topics which has a balanced 50%/50%. In Sweden, only about 10% of work professions are considered to have a fair balanced between the genders, and on university level, female students outnumber male students by 2:1 and are the dominating group in every disciplines except STEM.

Should we argue that the primary reason for this is harassment, discrimination, and oppression?

That is very true and can't be repeated often enough.

But it cuts both ways. There is nothing in our current state of understanding of neuroscience that categorically rules out biologically based differences in higher cognitive abilities between men and women.

You just had to find a way to pull the gender issue into a thread that has nothing to do with it right?

Completely off topic, sorry.
What is more is it is a theory backed up by a taboo. (Which is pretty similar to how religous dogmatism sustains)

There are strong social pressures to shut up people who disagree with the 100% social explanation (as if life would ever be as black and white as that). The debate is like a boxing match where one of the other fighter has his hands tied, and everyone pretends as if this isn't the case ...

So what if different groups of people are actually different? That is genuine diversity and valuable in its own way. Unlike this perpetually frustrated vision of the modern world. Aiming for a future where gender and ethnicity are just meaningless character skins.

I have found that writing code is much easier than reading it. Interestingly, reading prose is much easier than writing it.

Therefore, I wish there was some tool that allowed me to write prose in a more formal (code-like, hence "boring") style, and have it translated to more vivid prose. For example, if I use the same word ten times in the same paragraph, this tool would replace it by synonyms; or if I make sentences which are too long, it would automatically break them up, or vice versa. Basically, I want to code the meaning of what I want to say, and have the tool generate the prose.
Generally it isn't bad for you if you're not in the oil industry or an oil-dependent country. Places like Venezuela, Nigeria, and even the fabulously rich KSA are in trouble though.

It may be bad if you're in an energy-intensive business that's just made investments in reducing its fuel costs, because now the payoff for those investments is worse.

The US was just starting to transition to an oil exporter due to unconventional oil, but now the price has collapsed the boom in North Dakota etc goes away.

I once worked with a programmer that learned Laravel without actually learning PHP. That's great - he could jump into Laravel projects, but when it came time for him to help on anything custom or WP sites; he was completely lost. He also had no idea how or why Laravel worked; just that he memorized x snippets of code and they produced a result.

It'll make you a better programmer in the long run.

I really think that the government shouldn't force people to make these disclosures. It makes me very uncomfortable, as a citizen I feel my rights and my property are violated. Even at the time I'll be making 10M profit a year, I'm sorry but this is privacy, I should be free to choose with who I share this information.

And don't forget that if someone wants me to disclose but I don't, he is still free to do business with my competitor.
