Yes. Which also seems bad. Though similarly I think it's strange that public sector unions can politically organize to pick who sits opposite them during contract negotiation time.
It Took a FOIA Lawsuit to Uncover How the Obama Admin Killed FOIA Reform
I do not think this kind of feature-based estimation of depth will be the future of SLAM. Point this algorithm at a scale model or a framed photograph and everything will go haywire. It's great for scene understanding, in which you point it at a photograph or artwork and you want it to understand what's going on in the photograph. But not for mission-critical mapping and navigation.

Depth cameras, which are getting cheaper, will be the future of SLAM. SLAM algorithms for depth cameras are also a lot simpler to write. And with depth cameras, you're not estimating how far away objects are, you're actually measuring their distance. Data beats estimation.
There's no way I would have pulled out in front of a bus (or even a car or cyclist) like this; there was barely a gap between the bus and the car in front of the bus, into which the Google car poked its nose. It's probably just an edge case, but I agree with the other post that the parked car has no rights, and no expectation anyone in lane will yield.

Understanding Intelligence – 20 Common Traits of Highly Intelligent People

I started entering year before popup came up, then wouldn't let get get out and see the actual stuff. Quite annoying.

It is both a state and federal issue.

In 1994, Bill Clinton passed a crime omnibus bill (with Hillary Clinton advocating for it) which established a federal 3 strikes provision. Separately a number of states passed their own 3 strikes provisions. It is easier to hit 3 strikes under local law than federal so local bills put more in prison. But the Clintons now acknowledge that their bill is responsible for a big chunk of the increase in mass incarceration, particularly for blacks.

Of course Hillary flipped on the issue in the last 2 years when she realized that the Democratic electorate no longer supports "tough on crime" legislation.

For the record, Bernie Sanders voted for the exact same legislation, despite giving lots of speeches denouncing mass incarceration. However his voting record shows that he began voting against increased punishment in 1999. So both flipped, but Sanders did so much earlier.
I don't know what you are trying to say. I'm making an observation that whenever AI beats a milestone, there are a bunch of pessimists that come out and say "but obviously X was beatable by stupid algorithms. I will beleive AI is making progress when it beats Y!"

Those arguments absolutely are wrong. For one thing it's classic hindsight bias. When you make a wrong prediction, you should update your model, not come up with justifications why your model doesn't need to change.

But second, it's another bias, where nothing looks like AI, or AI progress. People assume that intelligence should be complicated, that simple algorithms can't have intelligent behavior. That human intelligence has some kind of mystical attribute that can't be replicated in a computer.
Maybe, but I see no lack of political discussion in this society at all. Internet blogs and forums like this one are absolutely full of comments from people discussing the candidates, the issues, etc. There is no shortage of people voicing support for the pro-surveillance establishment candidates like Hillary and Rubio.

Look up scratchpad memory. It has better performance, lower cost, more predictable, and can help with covert channels. The thing is that most programmers didn't want to manage memory. Compiler vendors also didn't want to manage many different scratchpads. Cache was useful and productive. So, we all have caches outside a few products here and there.
A lot of people in the West hate China. Before 9/11, we were really despised and demonized in the US. Probably even worse than Muslims are treated today because at least some us defend them. It's kind of funny the crazy things Americans are willing to believe. Here is the most ridiculous example: a Chinese artist did a series of photographs where he ate a cooked human fetus prop. A white journalist saw the photos, assumed it was real, and wrote an article that made the rounds. Look at those Han barbarians and their baby eating!
A bit overkill no? Could you not just partner with Google Maps and use the phone accelerometer to detect potholes?

Interesting view. What I find problematic is equating drug use with being "high." Sure, you can use enough of a drug that it impairs you, but you can also use less than that.

Some may refer to this as "microdosing" but I think this gets it backwards. If anything, drugs are useful tools that can also be "macrodosed" by those wishing to experience extreme effects.

I would like to live in a world where all drugs are legal and people can use them to enrich their lives, not just escape from them.
As far as I can tell, intext:<word> still forces it to always include <word> in the results.
Why should your drug use, or anyone else's, create obligations for other people to support you, treat you, and help you overcome addiction?

The libertarian case for legalizing drugs falls apart if society has to take responsibility for providing support systems as a reaction to the actions of individual drug users. Frankly, most people would rather continue to ban drugs than pay for treatment for people who abuse them.

Yes, I know this is shortsighted because we already pay for the costs of incarceration and law enforcement. But that's the status quo, and changing it is going to require convincing people that the alternative is better.
Because the general rule is that you can't loan money to friends. Either it is a gift which may be repaid back, or the friendship gets put under extreme stress.

It may not be logical, but I accept it as one of the quirks of human behavior. Similar to how pointing out the economic nature of some relationships and interactions is often considered creepy and anti-social (for example, pointing out how certain commonly assumed altruistic behaviors are not altruistic).
There was no handicap - 7.5 komi is traditional to counteract the benefit of moving first.
One does not need familiarity with Chinese history or conspiracy theories to put those claims into the nonsense bin.

But in case it's not as obvious as I see it, here are my assumptions:

- president of China is a public figure

- he is probably not crazy

- most Chinese people are not crazy

- not-crazy people think organ harvesting is really bad

Based on those assumptions (feel free to prove me wrong), he is unlikely to have ordered organ harvesting, and even if he did, it's unlikely he can cover it up.

As to "Han Chinese ethnocentric ideologies", I have never heard of it. But if I were to take a guess, he might be referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinocentrism, and it has not been a thing for at least several hundred years.
The Scottish government started providing naloxone (Narcan) to opiate users on a large scale in 2010. Naloxone and first aid training was offered to users of needle exchange services, prison leavers and other people at risk of opiate overdose.

In the first year there were 365 confirmed uses of naloxone, but that is believed to be a significant underestimate of overall use.

The evidence is clear - naloxone works.

Sadly, Nature has been doing this for years in their articles. Nature articles (not papers) are "popular science for scientists", and as such often use hyperbole and sensationalism and fail to communicate the actual core science. It's sad that the most-sought out journal does this :|
Does anyone here think we need a search engine which lets us maintain large blacklists of websites. For example, if I am searching for information about airbnb, I do not want news websites like NY Times, WSJ, Forbes, Business standard etc to show up in the results at all.
Any business related question on India is invariable dominated by Times of India and other newspapers. With google, its becoming increasingly difficult to filter out websites.

> I don't want painkillers, I want you to figure out why my body is hurting when it's not supposed to. It's surprisingly frustrating to talk doctors into looking for the cause instead of treating the symptom.

To be fair, this is related to the symptom you're asking them about. Pain often occurs with no apparent cause.

As an extreme example, it is normal for amputees to experience the sensation of a "phantom hand" where their hand would be if it hadn't been amputated. The phantom hand can feel pain. I'm fairly confident that there is nothing physically wrong with the hand someone doesn't have, even if it is in pain.

I definitely got stratospheric on my prescribed dose of one single Ambien pill (couldn't recognize myself in a mirror, saw kaleidoscopic visions, 2d videos became 3d portals into other dimensions). Absolutely some people could get high on one opiate pill. I understand your skepticism, but I'd like to assure you there is tremendous metabolic diversity.

This definitely looks like something I need to check out. I do a lot of one off analysis for small bioinformatics projects,and I've taken to sharing results in the Microsoft ecosystem via OneNote. I've wrapped knitr into my own library (knoter) which generates the html and figures, and pushes the whole lot up to OneNote in the selected notebook. OneNote works well for this kind of collaborative analysis, where I need to keep track of the whole discussion somewhere.

One thing I'm missing from my workflow would be a way to integrate in to an IDE so I just push a button, and it'll commit the code to a gist, and push the output to a OneNote for other people to comment on. I'm wondering if it would be possible to fork this, and tweak the calls to knitr so they use my library instead.
But aren't they talking about the games as they apply to computers?
Or crowd source it by having commuters register potholes.. That also gives you a sense of priority based on number of calls for a given area.

Militarizing cities for potholes is just plain wrong. That's something you'd expect to hear from a Stalinist regime, not a democratic nation.

Jiang Zemin rose to power by using Falun Gong. Jiang was from Shanghai he had no power base to start with when he arrived in Beijing but by cracking down on Falun Gong which were previously supported by the party gave Jiang the security apparatus the tool to consolidate power...as you've seen with Bo Xilai and Zhou Yongkang being President Jiang's camp have all but eliminated under President Xi.

The crackdown of Falung Gong was so brutal that many members of the communisty party, mainly the current Xi's camp, wants to distance itself from the Falun Gong incidents as much as possible and consolidate power by taking out Jiang's people.

In fact former president Hu Jintao was largely powerless, Jiang set through every assembly meeting besides Hu Jintao in order to hold power but many Maoist followers like Xi who had to endure Jiang are now rising up.

Xi enjoys enormous popularity with the anti-corruption movement but it's largely an effort to consolidate power by taking out people previously loyal to Jiang Zemin.

There's a real chance that Jiang Zemin could be tried for genocide in Hague, and the Chinese communist party will do everything it can to keep it's grip on a demographic that is increasingly becoming pro-consumer than ideology.

It's time for China to rid itself of the shackles of ideological fallacies which has been responsible for some of it's worst crisis starting with cultural revolution by a man who is revered as a demigod by President Xi.

I think the Chinese political scene is very exciting...sex, drugs, laundering, murders, scandals, factionalism, regionalism. It's like a real life House of Cards on netflix.
Can you predict the number of papers on the di-photon resonance
It also passes for people who take enormous amounts with no regard to the label, and had no pain. So what's the difference?
Using an acking system (like that in Storm or Heron) would move it to be physically at-least-once with a logical exactly-once by de-duping at the target.

This means if you observe the inner system, you won't be seeing exactly-once semantics but looking at the system from the outside, the semantics would indeed be exactly-once at the target.

3 years ago, I asked for help around how to get revenue from a website with decent traffic (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5342144). I got some really good feedbacks but didn't action them. My main issue was that I wanted to get revenue while keeping most of the content free.

Is that really that different than an adult work day? I think I actually have more time off now than when I was in grade school.

I used to get on the school bus at 7, start school at 8, go to 2:30 with around an hour for lunch/recess, then two hours of sports practice (or two hours of killing time, then two hours of practice, during basketball season, since we only had one gym), and get home either at 5 or at 7. That's a long day, and throwing an hour or more of homework on top leaves you with pretty much nothing left.

College, now those were the days. 2-3 hours of class, and maybe half the time 2-3 hours of work study.

An Up-To-date Guide to Making Google Apps HIPAA Compliant
Pain sometimes occurs with no known cause. I don't know if I'd go so far as to say "often."
Unfortunately, there are almost no effective treatments for chronic pain available other than opiod painkillers and there is significant vested interest in the pharmaceutical industry to keep it this way.

Whenever I see an article like this, it is frustrating as there is an alternative to opiods for chronic pain management that is just as effective, carries no risk of overdosing, minimizes the the chance for dependence (and in fact is often used by those looking to break opiod dependence) and at scale, could be available for fractions of a penny. As a bonus, it can also serves as an actual replacement to ADD and antidepressant medications as well as serving as an effective tool against other types of addiction (e.g. alchoholism) and has 100s of years of "clinical trials" in the real world to support its safety. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/should-kratom-be-l...

Unfortunately, the powers that be have no interest in changing the status quo particularly when it would undercut patented money making drugs currently available, so very little research is conducted into this area and those who wish to do so are often actively thwarted to the point one has to conclude that there is not actually a real desire to address this problem.
Our tool does that and integrates with JIRA(hosted only for now): http://www.device42.com/features/cmdb/

It is self-hosted or we can host it for our customers(for web based solution). We are also working on JIRA cloud integration.

I am obviously biased here, but I think with Device42 you get auto-discovery and still same workflow with JIRA.
The legal structuring of the loan isn't relevant to the criticism -- as you note, even treating it as a gift which may be repaid would start the friend on an upward spiral, if that $100 is really is what's holding them back.

But that just proves the broader point: it's not the mere $100 that's holding them up; it rarely is. Rather, it's the practice of not thinking long term, and not accumulating savings even when you have clear opportunities.
You confuse my meaning. I am against my own personal use of drugs, but would (with some caveats) support the legalization of all substances in any quantity, particularly prescription medications.

EDIT: my position, which would typically be described as extremely pro-drug, is largely due to my discomfort in treating medical personnel as de facto agents of the government on drug policy without requiring medical experts judge at trial for drug crimes like they do for malpractice proceedings. Essentially you have the people who decide what drug use is legal and illegal having no competent oversight -- we are in a nation with functionally no drug laws to the influential or wealthy enough to locate a doctor amenable to their suggestions, so why not at least offer everyone the same freedom until a more coherent policy is found?
cool, never knew that existed.
It affects a lot of people yes. It's also a big problem. It's the juxta that's done in a fashion to get clicks. The article is also rather light on details.

The juxta bothers me because Rx drugs are a necessity as judged by physicians, it's not a lark. Illegal drugs on the other hand are not prescribed, for the most part, and are a different issue altogether. They address perhaps other pains, but conflating them in this sense seems dishonest.

Yeah, the human nature aspects were what I really loved about it. Liu could have left out most of the interstellar scifi, and told a story just as good.

I'm not sure if I buy the alien-culture, though. The Trisolarians seemed just as human as ... humans, especially given their introduction in the titular video game, and the Sophons barely seem to have a culture at all.

(I also agree about the Tines; I really love them as a species, but I hated the sequel, because I don't really care about basically pre-tech societies enough to read long fiction about them - same problem I had with Stephenson's Baroque Cycle, and the reason I haven't read any of the ASoIF novels.
