> When AlphaGo does lose, it seems to happen when outright bugs cause it to make moves that are readily recognizable as mistakes

I'm not sure this is true. It made the wrong move at move 79 in game 4, but I'm not sure that should be considered an obvious mistake.

My understanding is that the moves that people said were most obviously mistakes later in the game were a result of it being behind (and desperately trying to swing the lead back in its favor), rather than a cause.
As it turns out, the tower of Babel is completely self-perpetuating.

I set up rocket chat on my home server as a test and it's been great. I use it to chat with my family. So far the maintenance has been very minimal.

My point was that the 'average' computer user is easily bewildered by many things, and using an IRC client isn't especially difficult compared to them. Using a link to a ready-made config for a web IRC client is easy and relatively painless and doesn't require any additional magical insight and fairy dust by a group of Silicon Valley dreamers. The use cases for Slack is arguable an Euler diagram circle exactly on top of those for IRC, a slightly different one than those for FB Messenger or Skype. Slack is redundant/bloated because of IRC, Messenger isn't.
Pretending that normative thinking didn't exist doesn't make it so, and doesn't help discriminated groups. In fact, it's part of the problem.

I think a lot of the limitations on video quality are related to streaming /storage capabilities. Ultra HD (8 megapixels) is not particularly feasible to stream or probably compress efficiently in a small cheap package.

grep works way better than Slack's search, which makes you wait several seconds per tiny page of search results. I look forward to the day when Slack catches up to grep.

You cannot pass macros as values as they do not exist at runtime. (So no macros can be passed to map/reduce as opposed to the fexprs).

I have no idea what you're arguing anymore. Your essentially agreeing with me. Islamic art is highly abstract and geometric DIRECTLY as a result of Islamic theology and Islamic rule over lands in the middle east and the rest of the world. I never said all art originated due to the introduction of Islam. Islamic art is evolved from Roman, Greek and Sasanian art before it, and highly modified by Islamic artists' tendency for math and geometry.

It seems you have some agenda you're trying to push here. What im saying is pretty indisputable.
What are you actually proposing? Some abstract means of reducing licensing transaction costs? How?
Sadly, as of January 2015, "Google Play Edition" variants stopped being sold altogether. The last phones sold before the closure of this program were the HTC M8 and the Galaxy S4 (which now are obviously about 3 generations behind).

As Chen notes, flashing is a very difficult process for "non-techies" and actually near impossible for carrier variants of flagship phones due to bootloader restrictions.
How do you measure "advantage"? or "recidivism"? If an alcoholic goes to AA and "feels better", don't you think that might have some relationship between various other factors?

> 1. Don't serve user supplied content from a subdomain of your main site. Facebook fixed this by removing the redirect from photo.facebook.com to their CDN, so now user content comes from *.akamaihd.net.

I don't see that as an issue. As long as you don't allow for wildcard extensions on your server it won't return a wrong content-type in this kind of situation. I wonder why it's even possible that you can change the .jpg to .html :| I'm pretty sure this is disabled by default in apache.

so yeah, the problem of the content-type comes from the fact that you can manipulate the extension as you wish once uploaded.

I live not too far from Mazon Creek, where many of these fossil-containing nodules were found, and a few summers back, I was fossil hunting (on allowed-use lands) with my kids. We found about a dozen intact nodules; four of them had fossils of some kind. Three were plants, and one ... The state fossil of Illinois: The Tully Monster.

It's a lot of fun to see your kids' eyes open wide when they realize they just exposed the deathbed of a life form older than they can imagine. That they're the only humans ever to touch the impressions left behind. Of course, I like to wax poetic with my science lessons with them, but I don't mislead.

Kids (indeed, most adults) don't often stop and really absorb the significance of things that really are quite amazing. That when you see the faint smudge of the Andromeda Galaxy, your retinas are the sole beneficiary of particles of light that have been screaming through space longer than the Homo genus has been in our fossil record. When you see them, you've captured them; they're gone. 2.5 million years, since saber-tooth cats were roaming the Americas, and blip ... gone. Just for you.

The Tully Monster fossils were the same for my family. An amazing and humbling and exciting experience, just needed the right storytelling to help them understand how special it was.

One thing that I realized after reading Carol Dweck's book (and Michael Mezernich's tech talk at Google, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyPrL0cmJRs) is that confusion is just the mind hunting for the patterns.

Confusion is usually nothing to get upset about. Just start asking what things are. You're building a mental map of the terrain and all the details and connections will eventually get filled in if you persist. Its what babies are always doing and it doesn't bother them.

That's been enormously helpful, especially when starting something new.
While that's true, not everyone is looking for that in their career was the point of the post you replied to. Every person has different career goals.
I think a much more interesting title would be "An alternative to Meteor supporting 15+ databases and 4 ORMs."

I'd imagine a lot of people (myself included) have cooled somewhat on Meteor as SQL support has failed to materialize, so Feather's DB flexibility seems like a standout feature.
NASA's problems are cultural and internal, not political and external. I worked there for many years and it is depressing how different it is in the inside from the perception on the outside.

The download page lists "Mac OSX, Linux x86", Linux x64, Windows x86, Windows x64". The average user does not know what x86 or x64 means, and if they assume that the larger number is the latest (because duh) then they'll be causing problems down the line by installing the 32bit version on their (probably 64bit) machines.

Traditionally, this is solved by autodetecting their OS and giving them a big link in giant UX-ey button form as "recommended", and only mentioning the other platform links in smaller letters below that.

So, I don't think it's quite ready for grandmas yet.

Edit: looks like someone asked a similar question below.

I'm curious though.

What is it about IRC that makes it not a good choice? It seems to me that the biggest issue non-nerds care about is the user experience. And I feel that if people wanted to, that could be fixed. And if we really wanted to, we could extend IRC to do what we want and deal with its shortcomings.

I use a nice web gateway (kiwi) on top of an IRC channel for my student office hours and it's easy. They just supply a username and log in. No software to install, the UI looks nice, and students don't have to sign up for anything.

If I had the resources and the money, I'd focus on a good modern IRC client and server.

Am I wrong?

Well, considering how many small/startup shops expect the developers to also do IT chores, "the cloud" makes the most sense... spending time learning the insides of systems they don't care to truly maintain comes at a cost... time to do other things, or cost to pay someone else to do it.

In the end, the cloud makes sense in a lot of scenarios.

It's not even about access, it's about existence (at least my point was). If a company decides they just want to stop offering a feed, or change what it does or does not include, a contract protects you for at least some time before they and force that upon you. It's not always about the company wanting more money. Sometimes old products are obsolete, and providing them costs a non-negligible amount in maintenance and support. Contractual obligations can be the difference between turning it off next week or eight months from now when the last contract is up, and that can make all the difference in having enough time to pivot to a new or different data source.
If I ever got to where my bandwidth fees were even a hundred a month for personal projects, I'd switch over at least part of it to a VPS...

As a business, I wouldn't do it until the cost of the bandwidth+hosting exceeded the cost of an extra, dedicated employee to manage the VPS server(s).

Disclosure, I'm one of the creators of Feathers.

You are right Feathers is MIT and so is Meteor. They both do real-time, albeit a bit differently, so we like to consider Meteor an alternative to Feathers and vice-versa.

We are trying to be as transparent as possible and because we don't currently have any formal support from anyone except for the contributor's time and energy, we rely heavily on the community and need to remain as open as possible.

Personally, I think Meteor has done some amazing stuff and some not so amazing things. I respect a lot of what they have achieved but we are making a different attempt at similar problems. Nothing more to it than that really. We've tried to put up objective comparisons between Feathers and many of the real-time solutions out there http://docs.feathersjs.com/why/vs/readme.html. There is no silver bullet for all situations and all people.
If you have time, I'd recommend purchasing dedicated servers in multiple geographical areas and setting up a custom CDN. It's much cheaper, however much less reliable and much more time intensive to manage and diagnose.
Indeed. The IOPs numbers for the cheaper VMs are not so great.

You need IOPs? Suddenly you are paying for a premium instance type.

You want replication and/or geo-redudancy with that? Now we're talking $$$ :D
The only long-term solution is to reduce the power and scope of the government. The Siren Song of power lures the worst types. If the federal government had vastly reduced power, then it would not attract these types of people, and making a career of it would be no more glamorous that sitting on city council for 20 years in a small town.

Term limits are a stop-gap measure. And let's say they go into effect. Well, the day after the term is up, the politician will step through the revolving door into the lobbying world, advising the new crop of term-limited representatives on how to "get things done."

i think the #1 value add from slack/hipchat is that it's hosted for you. we spend thousands of man-hours each month and year keeping our servers up. uptime is hard. chat is not hard. historical chat is not hard. when chat is down, your business is at risk. there's other services at my company we pay for that aren't very complicated - we just don't want to host it. paying $5/user/mo for chat that is always up is easier than keeping it up yourself.

your use case is very different, and i wouldn't expect any pay-for-chat service to make any sense for it
Yup and I use Webpack. The beauty is you get to take your pick. The downer is it's not set up for you. Tradeoffs for now...
Yeah I just think - and this is just off the top of my head, I have nothing but anecdote to back it up - that as soon as you reach that certain level of "config", their eyes glaze over. That level seems to be when you start talking server names.

People just don't understand what that is, let alone how to actually use it. But everyone seems to be able to figure out how to sign in to an app with nothing but their email address and the same password they use for everything else, and so there the line is drawn.

Again, nothing but conjecture. It's just something I've come to realise over the years. (FWIW, I hate Skype etc. Horrible! But, I understand why Jane Public uses it.)

As long as major content providers want it, there is going to be DRM one way or the other. It is not in fact within W3C's power to prevent that.

The only influence W3C has on DRM is the form it takes: is it implemented through (somewhat) standardized means, using the building blocks of web technology provided by browser vendors, or is it implemented through black-box plugins that we know, after 15+ years of experience, end-users will install.

I have never really understand the role W3C is supposed to play as a pressure point for DRM.
A computer's components doesn't need constant monitoring. They're monitored by humans - if the CD rom drive breaks down, a human will fix it.

If an animal gets hurt, it's nervous system will pick it up and do the management necessary to direct resources to repair where it's hurt. Each part of the body requires some sort of monitoring system. The bigger the body, the more computational power must be devoted to body maintenance & monitoring.

A small brain vs body size means there's little "computational surplus", it's mostly used up for making sure the body processes are running, making repairs as required, moving hormones around, etc. A large brain vs body size means spare computational capacity is available for observable intelligent behaviour.

Anyway, that's my theory.
I agree. At the same time, I get the feeling that the west coast must be a very different place compared to the east coast. I've worked for six different employers in the tech scene here on the east coast, and I've yet to see any sort of gender discrimination in the workplace. I'm not denying that it happens, because I'm sure that it does. But either it's far more frequent or much more overt in other parts of the world.
I would have to go back and watch the episode, which I may do. My memory of it was just the simple relapse rate, which would have to be based on a period of time. I don't know where they got the numbers to compare to AA, but I assume many studies have statistical results on this.

"code in the context of instructing a computer to perform encryption is not speech." the decision cited from 1999 by the appellate court specifically considered this and found the opposite. As long as your phrase "Code in the context of instructing..." means source code, then they disagreed wholeheartedly with you. They found that people in the encryption field universally used source code to convey ideas and to communicate. They argued that utility of something doesn't revoke it as speech, as the parent to your comment noted. They did not take into consideration CD's with object compiled code on them nor easily scannable papers, which they note are a dubious prospect to begin with--being limited by the same export restrictions.
"companies", not services. Aside from tech companies, IRC was never adopted by wider industries. We've been using it amongst a primarily operations-based company which relied on Email and Lync previously.

Don't Google have a CDN service?

Edit: yes. (https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/load-balancing/http/cd...) But it's more of a CloudFlare competitor—a distributed caching reverse-proxy with a 4MB object cachability limit. Costs $0.008/GB, which is cheap compared to a real CDN, but expensive compared to CloudFlare's "free."
