Here's the breakdown of the current job postings at Elsevier (not to say that this reflects accurately how the $35 / article is divided up):

* 112 IT

* 10 customer service

* 3 data analysis

* 28 editorial

* 3 accounting

* 4 general MGMT

* 3 HR, 35 marketing

* 18 manufacturing

* 22 product MGMT

* 3 program MGMT

I would really like to see an official breakdown of the cost per article and especially the processing cost paid by authors.

JSON.

The way it displays and organizes complex data, better than other standards like CSV or XML. Or the things that use tables.

When I first started programming, I had two favorite ways of storing data - INI and arrays. INI for its elegant key/value style. Arrays were just natural because of the way computers think.

I spent months trying to mold these two things together; how would you actually store key-value things within an array? Do you make an array of pointers that lead to key-value objects? (I used C)

JSON is just this beautiful thing that lets you store data however you want. It's beautiful because it doesn't get in the way. Not only that, but it's a data structure you can understand just by looking at it; you'd have to squint to understand raw XML or a SQL table.

From searching on the web it seems like the only open access journals who charge thousands are the traditional publishers (Wiley, Springer) with an "open access" option. They probably have internal conflicts around cannibalizing existing business. Exclusively open access journals seem to charge $USD500-1000. Happy to be corrected with other examples though.
How the hell can that be "non-profit"? Where is the money going? Free conferences in Dubai?
I use adguard vpn to add an extra layer of ad blocking on my phone. Also I block ads at the router at home.
Yes, as a taxpayer, I am 100% ok with that. The $1000 is a small fraction of the total cost, and I'd be paying close to or more than that amount for all the journal subscriptions that a federally funded research institution carries anyways. The benefit being, that the work that I am paying for is accessible to everyone instead of just the elite institutions.

Demis tweeted that while the game was still ongoing.

Anyway I'm pretty sure what happened; I have actually implemented MCTS myself and know that you can trivially update evaluations of old nodes in MCTS as the game continues and you get a better estimate of the line of play actually taken, although you wouldn't normally have a reason to do so. Basically, it can see in hindsight that a move it took was bad, but without additional calculation you wouldn't know whether the alternatives were any better, or also are worse than estimated at the time.

They cant be accessed legally. Most universities are too invested in the current system to stop paying. That's why publishers bundle their journals in extremely expensive packages they sell to libraries.
So sad to see her go!
I work on a remote team and I am only accountable for my output. I end up working 15-25hrs a week. Sometimes more if something is on fire.

I usually work 7 days a week, but invariably a couple days a week I only work an hour, checking email and replying to people.

The work I do is of better quality, I'm happier, and I easily could work at this pace until the day I die.
Thanks. I use Jetbrains IDE's for coding where my colorschemes have a similar setup. Code, Comments, Strings, are different, and that's about it. Never got around to doing this in Vim which I still use for many tasks (who doesn't?). So this is much appreciated.
Publication costs are minuscule relative to research costs. Rounding error.

And furthermore, they're minuscule compared to costs of journal access.

Edit: I'm wrong on the second point. They're actually comparable. See comment below.
To be fair - the installable programs are quite old. C# is probably the best choice for Windows development if someone would care to write a desktop app today...

I would guess that Javascript and COBOL have a fair share of all existing code that is not C, C++ or Java.

Maybe the big five has 85-90% of all code ever written?
>If every paper was published as open-access, I am sure the price of open-access could be reduced.

Do you have any evidence of such economies of scale in existing publishers? As the article says, their margins are around 30%. That means the maximum they could reduce the price without losing money (with simplifying assumptions) is in the 30% range. If you have a way to be significantly more efficient than the status quo, go ahead, I'm sure everyone will be thrilled.

>As a taxpayer, you already pay state universities to access those papers.

That's a fair point. Is the government paying more in access fees than they're saving by not using open access journals?
https://www.plos.org/publications/publication-fees/ lists significantly more than that.

But usually I don't agree with it, in Obama's case I do.

It's not as if he brought lasting peace to some place that's been on fire for the last 3 decades, besides the prize was awarded way too early in his first term for him to have time enough to accomplish such a thing in the first place (after only 9 months).

My personal view on this is that he mostly received it because he wasn't Bush and they were trying to shame him into doing the right thing (which may have had a point) but I don't think that worked out too well.
I hope this publicitly doesnt lead to swift shutdown of scihub. She provides us with a great service that helps many researchers work faster. We should also commend her for stirring the most lively debate about an anachronistic and dumb publishing system.

Busted – myths on differences in male and female brains [video]
This sounds like a bunch of crap (re: the warrant for Enron's corporate office). I admit I'm not aware of exactly what the legalities are right now, but for the sake of argument, I don't see why the government shouldn't be able to secretly bug a corporate office, provided that a proper warrant is in place. So yeah, if they get a warrant to do so and convince a judge that this is necessary, they should be able to get some government spy to be able to sneak in somehow (maintenance worker?) and plant bugs.

The whole key here is having a warrant, a specific warrant for a specific target looking for specific things. I don't think most Americans have a problem with law enforcement being able to snoop on people of suspicion provided the proper channels are followed, only particular persons of interest are snooped on, and it isn't just a fishing expedition. This is exactly why we have warrants: so that law enforcement can gather evidence of crimes and prosecute people, but without overly infringing on the civil liberties of the people.

So no, it wouldn't be "breaking and entering" if you have the correct warrant in place, just like it isn't "breaking and entering" when the police have a warrant to enter your house looking for evidence and they enter when you aren't home.

The conclusion here doesn't quite follow from the premises :). Obama didn't do what he said does not imply vote for Trump any more than it implies vote for tajen.

Now I'm going to delve into specific politics more than I normally like to do, but I think there are important ideas to consider. Even if a president doesn't do what he/she promised to do, the attitude of a president does have an effect on the country. Judging from the attitude of Trump and the raucousness of some of his rallies, I don't think Trump's attitude and that of his more violent supporters should be spread across the country. That alone is enough reason to vote for someone other than Trump.

It's pretty sad, though, to have several elections in a row where more and more people are voting against a candidate rather than for a candidate. I can only think of one current candidate who I would vote for positively, rather than to just to avoid another candidate who is more negative.
Sounds like we have different philosophies on dealing with political hurdles and managing cars as SF gets denser, so I won't further my argument.

But I'm curious if you have sources for claims (1), (5), and (6), since they don't line up with any knowledge I have. And I really like this topic so I'd love to learn more :)

And just some FYIs you probably already know but just making sure:

* #2/#3, high-rises in the vast majority of non-NYCHA Manhattan aren't the (horrific) towers-in-the-park style you're referring to. I'd forgotten about those!

* #4, East Village does have parking garages.

* Asian cities vary so much in planning that both you and I can probably find dozens of examples of what we're referring to :) (I'm partial to Tokyo and Taipei myself.)
When he says "the algorithm is given just the pixels", does that mean it's not given any information about the game itself, like the objective? How does it know how to measure it's own success?

I'm not a parent. I do work with kids in a limited capacity, as a volunteer. I obviously don't use any corporal discipline in that context, and if I had children of my own I wouldn't have the heart to hit them. I'm just interested in the theory of it; are we sure that corporal punishment isn't more effective in a practical utilitarian sense, and, if we are, what explains the difference.

Jesus fucking christ no it isn't. Your boss doesn't punch you for not filing your TPS reports; your spouse doesn't hit you for not doing the shopping.

The point is that eventually if you refuse to comply it will lead to violence. It might be indirect, and in some cases it will sound contrived, but everything eventually comed down to an implied threat of violence. If you don't file a report, you might experience some minor consequences. Probably the sort of thing you can't refuse to comply with. If you keep failing to file reports you might be fired or at least suspended. If you don't respect that and continue to show up for work, they'll probably have security throw you out. If you come back in they'll probably call the police and you'll be arrested for trespassing. If you resist arrest, you might find yourself subject to violence. This is to say that every threat boils down to a violent threat, and therefore every threat is inherently violent; threatening your kid with a revocation of privilege is violent.

Time outs are not long - one minute per year of age. A 12 year old gets a 12 minute time out.

A time out doesn't apply for everything kids do. Great when you're watching them and they misbehave, but that doesn't account for everything. If you catch your 10 year old stealing, you're not going to put them in time out. If your eight year old beats some kid up, you're not going to put them in time out. I would consider any form of corporal punishment too much of an ordeal for the things a time out would be appropriate for. I was refering to inflicting pain on your child as an alternative to grounding them.
Harvard is starting to complain. Harvard.

This is very belittling to the amazing amount of research that goes into ADHD.

Many studies have been done with regard to treatment and diagnosis, and at this point we are better able to treat ADHD than we are able to treat depression

There might be a bit of an over-treatment culture (I'm not sure, though), but the science is extremely well developed and tested
They should be. It's better to pay for open access than lock science behind paywalls. There is vast knowledge that could be mined by machines, indexed by AIs , processed for finding novel patterns, but it's impossible when it's all locked behind paywalls. Want to buy "prestige" ? pay for it. That's more fair than "give us exclusive rights to your science for free or you don't get prestige".

According to the article, they're 70% of publishers' revenue (straightforward extrapolation from 30% margin). I can't think of any sense in which that's minuscule.

Research costs may be correct. Do you know where I can find data on average funding for published studies? Or how many government funded studies were published at what budget?
Absolutely yes. Science isnt supposed to be clean and tidy, but reproducible.

There's probably over diagnosis, but since ADHD medications are safe at low doses, there's not much downside with over diagnosis. On the other hand, there's 2-8% of the general population that has ADHD, and those individuals gain significant benefits from medication.

If you're unsure if ADHD really exists, it may be useful to read the genetic studies that show ADHD correlation with specific SNPs, and decide for yourself [1]. Personally, I find the evidence satisfactory.

That said, I personally believe that ADHD type symptoms could be caused by several different disorders. ADHD is kind of like bipolar disorder - it covers a lot of areas and is sort of a fallback category when other diagnosis don't fit.

That would also have the benefit of making sure the code actually works. From my time in CS grad school I'm pretty sure there are many published papers where the author never had code that achieved the results they described.
> “The real people to blame are the leaders of the scientific community — Nobel scientists, heads of institutions, the presidents of universities — who are in a position to change things but have never faced up to this problem in part because they are beneficiaries of the system,” said Dr. Eisen. “University presidents love to tout how important their scientists are because they publish in these journals.”

For me, this is the cog of the problem. People who are in a position to change should push for it.
Considering that a mistake in such a program could completely skew results, yeah that seems pretty important.
Taxpayer funded research must be free to read.

Also, a research that has been at least partially tax-funded resulting in a publication, must not be usable as an necessary ingredient for a commercial patent.

That is, a patent can include this type of research, but it cannot be a 'necessity' for the patent to be viable. Or, if the particular research, is necessary for a given patent to be viable, the patent must grant no-fees, no-commercial-strings-attached use.

This allows a corporation to establish patents as means to protect itself, while allowing the tax funded research to be used by others without commercial strings attached
Yes, because if it doesn't even compile then I will call BS on your results.
This isn't the right question. The question is, "Who should be profiting from research papers?" The Journal performs quality control for the sake of consistency and prestige, but the papers and their reviews are put together by researchers, commonly at great cost for marginal personal gain. The article's hero doesn't really care. She needs to read papers, and needs other people to be able to read them, so she built sci-hub (demo: https://sci-hub.io/10.1038/nature16990).
>Privacy will die, not because it's undesirable or a bad idea, it'll die like copyright and DRM - because it's technically and economically easy to defeat, and people will be motivated to do so.
>[Please refute - I genuinely have nightmares about this future]

Um, this is pretty easy to refute: we've been complaining about copyright and DRM for ages now, and not only are they not waning, they're at least as strong now as they've ever been. There's no indication whatsoever that copyright law is going anywhere or being relaxed in any way, in fact it's the opposite. Sure, it's generally easy to copy digital stuff (absent DRM), but that doesn't make it legal, nor has the internet become a free-for-all (quite the opposite in fact; it's more dangerous to commit copyright violations now than ever I think). Same goes for DRM: despite all the complaints, DRM is still present in many places, and you still need to use it for things like watching Netflix. It is possible to defeat it (I'm not going to say technically easy though, because a lot of it is unbroken), but what the DRM-users have proven to us is that it's non-trivial now, and more importantly it only has to be "good enough": as long as it prevents most users from doing something the copyright holder doesn't want, that's all they really care about.

What's the difference? I'd have though non-technical users would be a harder audience. What are the difference in requirements?

non-technical users will require stable, pre-built solutions, won't they be made by the technical users? As such, isn't serving non-technical users best done by serving technical users?
Sacrificing privacy for speed is a bad tradeoff in this instance as DNS request speed is over emphasized in almost all cases (case in point classifying 15ms vs 25ms as a "problem").

If a site is not already cached at the OS level than a typical DNS lookup from the central / east coast US to EU takes ~120-130ms. 8x slower may at first sound really bad until you pause to consider that the unit in question is milliseconds.

Your web browser and the webpage itself are generally doing far more damage to your page load times than the DNS lookup.

Is there a source of the rules for colour choice? I had thought it would be another nigiri as in 1st game. Choosing it based on the 4th game's result would imply Lee Sedol would have been given white. Since he won with white, isn't it an unfair advantage in general? For instance, if it were 2-2 after the 4th game.

The performance numbers are not representative of your proposed workload. They are 1) images either from RAM or sequentially on disk that are 2) batched and tested together with vector operations all the way (memory bandwidth also dominates the latency for this reason), and 3) the images are only 256 x 256 pixels (much smaller than a website).

Also, the neural net occupies something like 1.2 gigs of RAM, and something like 3 gigs of GPU memory.
