> I actually wonder why you don't hear about power outages like this (not at CERN, but in regular cities) more frequently. Maybe public power supplies are more redundant?

Happens pretty frequently, they just don't get reported beyond local news unless it affects something noteworthy. http://cybersquirrel1.com/ maps a lot of these "Cyber Squirrel Operations".

Mainly squirrels, birds, raccoons, snakes, and rats.

My last dog was blind for a few years before she died and eventually seemed to be in a fair amount of pain, all of which resulted in very anxious behavior. The vet prescribed alprazolam (Xanax), which was quite effective.

Yes. The LHC has a beam dump off to the side, tonnes of concrete and steel buried underground, specifically for the purpose of dissipating the entire beam energy if needed. It's about the same as the kinetic energy of an aircraft carrier stopping from speed:

Absolutely this! I roll with Pfsense hardware because the software is open source. Even if CMB and crew sell or make it proprietary I know that with such a large community some of the contributors will just fork it.

Too many ways for this Google gadget to be made a brick because they don't care about their customers.
Without labeling it as a form of ADHD (or anything else), necessarily, but simply recognizing that the impulse to procrastinate is probably tied to the brain's short-term reward cycles (dopamine-based or otherwise) in some way or another -- and hence, that it might legitimately be thought as a kind of micro-addiction, like the tendency to grab for tasty foods or clever-sounding news bites every 10 minutes -- was a big help to me in getting a handle on it.

And teaching me that, at least once in a while, I can, in fact, "just say no" -- and try to get things done for the sake of a much large, multi-faced, and legitimately nourishing neurohormone
With that style of driving, the minimum speed is also far more likely to drop to 0. And when one person is stopped, everyone behind them is stopped. Even for people who don't normally drive that way, add in a cell phone and that's exactly what starts to happen because they don't have enough remaining attention to avoid being "surprised" by a stopped car.
The one thing we fail to teach startups
These libraries are not mutually exclusive, they operate on different levels of abstraction. For example, you can use Keras with either Theano or Tensorflow. cuDNN is an interface to the hardware and is used internally by most libraries.

Breaking it down. High-Level Frameworks:

- Caffe is very high-level and almost only used for Convolutional Neural Networks. It doesn't have good support for RNNs or anything else. It has a very good collection of pre-trained models (model zoo).

- Keras is a "wrapper" around Tensorflow or Theano and includes many higher-level abstractions like various types of layers, optimizers, etc. It's typically what I recommend to anyone who wants to get something up and running quickly and doesn't necessarily want to develop novel models.

On the next lower level are Theano and Tensorflow. They are pretty much competing with each other and have a very similar computational model (computational graphs). People/Companies seem to be moving towards Tensorflow, so that what I'd recommend using at this point. Tensorflow recently added several higher-level abstractions (like TF Learn and contrib modules) that are quite similar to those in Keras.

cuDNN is a library for GPU acceleration. It's used by most of these libraries under the hood to speed up computation. You certainly can use cuDNN directly, but unless you're doing low-level research it's probably not necessary.
Ugh! That is insulting. No wonder techs are so tired of the interview process.
Probably because they can just buy commodity rails, cars, engines, etc. from existing rail supply companies.
Smart mirror you've got to see
Well, as I mentioned in another comment, that means that companies that actually bother to reach out to communities they are involved with and cultivate relationships with members may have a competitive advantage. I have no illusions that the MegaCorps of the world are going to change how they do things, but there are companies that don't follow that template out there.
In the documentary Blackfish, they note that an area of the brain which plays a big role in emotions is much larger in killer whales than it is in humans. They speculate that the social/emotional lives of whales in a pod could be far richer and more complex than what we experience.

I don't trust the absolute numbers, but the data from my FitBit Aria has a pretty low variance over time:

http://imgur.com/5AgKU9F

It does seem to be tracking reasonably well - I've lost a bit of fat, but not a significant amount since then. Given what I see in the mirror, I think 16-17% is about right. There are some weird fluctuations, but we're talking 1-2% day to day. The range of the graph is about 4-5%.

The trick is to measure several times a day if you get the chance (or at the very least when you get up and when you go to bed) to smooth out any fluctuations.
Bottomless? A Kim Kardashian archive would be all bottom.

A lot of that is the binary drivers for essential phone components... that said, Cyanogenmod is pretty close to "stock" (no google apps) and if you're on a rooted phone with a first or third party build of Cyanogenmod, you can do pretty much whatever you want.

Unfortunately, it's really the chipset builders and the lack of UEFI/BIOS or something similar in ARM (and other non-x86 mobile platforms) that locks it out even further.
If anything it's most closely akin to the old Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox Sidebar efforts:

It's loading HTML (and maybe XAML, like Firefox allowed XUL) into a sidebar that may interact with the page it's pulled up alongside.
My thoughts as well. The author does a wonderfully subtle job exposing that strange naivete that seems so universal to the human experience. It's no surprise that he's a contributor to "This American Life," which I find often hits on that same sentiment. Thanks for sharing this article, OP.

I haven't seen my OnHub since I turned it on last year. This puts it well ahead of all other wifi access points I have owned.
This relies on an internet connection, right?

So many of these sorts of products do, and it is infuriating. It makes them utterly inapplicable for many environments. I'm building a home in a school bus. There will most certainly be times when I don't have a good (or any) internet connection, but I still want local and customizable automation.

My plan is to just roll my own with Raspberry PIs.
Indeed, OP may want to try switching strokes and speeds every lap, or getting a waterproof MP3 player. It doesn't have to be for everyone, though.
The problem is that you can't properly diversify anymore, I went looking for things that weren't correlated. Heck during all the fed/government meddling things that should have been negatively correlated were moving together. That is when I concluded the whole thing was rigged, and it was better to go with the herd than get run over by it. In my own way I bet against the housing boom of the early/mid 2000's too. I didn't really lose any money, but what I learned is that I should have just went out and purchased the largest house I couldn't afford, because the government made it clear that they would do anything to prop up housing/banks/etc. We will never see a _REAL_ price crash in housing because as soon as the markets start to dip a few percent the 2% loans, tax breaks, and bailouts for banks holding empty real-estate they cant sell because doing so will cause the prices to drop further.

Then start cooking up the Recipes that serve you best. Because OnHub on IFTTT works with so many products and services, there are lots of options for Recipes you can create.

And why this needs to be cloud service? Instead of locally running demon on a raspberry pi?
It takes a while for the eco-system around TF to get settled. I feel Google wants companies to spring up around TF, and use it in every industry.

I'd say now is the time to start a niche company on top of TF. You'll be acquired faster than you can say "minimum viable product".
The interview consists of 4-5 panels of 2 interviewers. Each panel is generally 1 hour long.

I'm already out. The kafkaesque bureaucracy must be epic. I suspected it the moment I read "Mailgun	team (level II or III)." This stratification metric means the owners lost control of the organization. When you no longer have the capability to assess and judge your individual employees (nor trust your management to judge) at any level, let's at least give them some increasingly narrow vector title so we know who is more competent than someone else in a pinch. Because our concern is not looking foolish, so we rely more on the people who get paid more in a vicious cycle of incompetence.

Not patches, bug reports. With information in. So the problem can be reproduced and prioritized. As part of the normal development process.
I cannot understand why anyone would buy hardware from Google. Chromecast for $35 a pop is as much as I'd be willing to pay from something that they could arbitrarily shut down.
Amusingly, if you go by BMI, quite a few pro athletes are overweight, or even obese. (This is a good illustration of how idiotic BMI can be...).

For instance, Michael Jordan was slightlu overweight according to BMI. Shaquille O'Neal was past overweight and into obese. Wilt Chamberlin was overweight.

Leaving basketball for boxing, Muhammad Ali was well into overweight. Mike Tyson was obese.

How about American Football? I'm going to exclude line positions since a large part of their job is to be a wall and so we'd expect them to go for mass. Quarterbacks Dan Marino and Joe Montana: overweight. In fact, five of the last six Heisman Trophy winners (who were all quarterbacks) are overweight, and one is obese. The last four non-quarterback Heisman winners were running backs, and two were overweight and two were obese.

Have fun eating 4000 calories of carrots, cabbage, broccoli.. even eating brown rice is hard! Carrots have about 200 calories per pound, so we are talking about 20 pounds of carrots per day. Brown rice (cooked) has about 200 calories per cup, so again, 20 cups of brown rice?

Meanwhile a cup of vegetable oil has about 1900 calories.

Discounted future /free/ cash flows.

That's cash flow minus capital expenditures which means, at some point, Amazon is going to have to decide enough is enough and allow overall cash flow to come in well above its capital expenditures...like it's just done. Better a bit sooner than later (thanks to the discount part) if you think can sustain your advantage for less than you've been spending in proportion to your revenue.

Perhaps Amazon has reached some sort of cruising altitude.

I'm willing to bet that you represent a very small segment of the population and are thus not a target for this product.

A product can't do everything and be the solution for everyone, each product has a target market and since you're in a niche, most products won't solve your problems.

If this is the bot that keeps recommending Kayne, Kardashians, Bieber, and various useless sports team accounts to me, then good riddance.
I've watched all 8 available videos, which is as far as my knowledge goes but it has been background on gradients, calculating derivatives, introduction to word vectors and how they relate to each other, recurrent neural nets and how to push time series through, introduction to tensor flow and finally how to scan backwards and forwards through "time" in a recurrent RNN (each word in a sentence is a time step in NLP).

Word vectors are "just" high dimensional entities - 100-300 dimensions, used as input. So the introduction to them was about how you go about building a dataset that is a collection of 50,000 column vectors each of which is 300 rows. And then how to use that to go on and build a neural net to do useful work.

The conclusion is that all the work done on syntax, grammar and word classification can effectively be replaced by having a huge corpus (e.g. all of wikipedia is small), 300 dimensions for each word and then a loss function to classify each word.

One can imagine how that would be applied to sales data of multiple products or other data.

It foes on to suggested how sentiment analysis is performed and how entity recognition would work (entities being places, names of people and companies).

The info has been general but described in terms of NLP, the techniques so far are not just for use in NLP.

I'm not an NLP person and tbh I've never even made a neural net (although I could if I had a reason) I'm just interested in the subject.
Curious: what do you do with the management app?

I have an Apple Airport thing and had a similar experience - years of buying cheap routers then suddenly I had one that "just works". To the point that I haven't had to open/use the administration panel in an absolute age.
But almonds are a high-value crop. If the price of water went up substantially, the almonds would get a little more expensive, but demand wouldn't collapse. I don't think it's right to say we shouldn't grow almonds in California, though they should pay for their water.

> using prehistoric water to farm Alfalfa is crazy IMO

Agreed -- completely insane. And we wouldn't, if water cost what it should cost.
That is a great component, will definitely use it in my next project!

Chasing dreams and dollars: India and the H-1B visa

Yes. Consumers are mainly to blame for this. As long as consumers keep buying the garbage (solutions that don't work/never had any chance of working) they're pumping out, businesses don't have much incentive to create anything that works. It's appalling to me, how people can continue to spend so much money on gimmicks and appetite suppressants that clearly don't work.
Do these actually exist? I would love a "This Week in Vision Research" that has 1-2 paragraph summaries of recent papers, maybe with some attempts at critiques and placing the results in context.

Its about budgets, both on development and on procurement and operational costs. The Su-27 series and the F-15 are relatively expensive jets to procure and operate, and the F-16C (or F-16A MLU) are a good middle ground budget wise.

The F-5E/F Tiger [0] was one of the most under appreciated fighters on the market in the 70s and early 80s. The was limited in A/A victories in real combat because of lack of opportunities, although successfully used at TOPGUN and FWS at a low operating cost. Although marketed as a LWF, The F-5 was actually a multi-role aircraft, and used in combat as a strike aircraft.

IMO the F/A-50 [1] is the most under-appreciated advanced 4th gen fighter on market. At around $30m its half the cost of a new F-16, although a refurbished F-16 is viable for budget constrained Air Forces.

Depends on how quickly you want to lose weight, and whether that's your only goal. If, as a 150 pound male, your RMR is about 1500 kcal/day, and you eat at least 1000 kcal/day (anything less probably isn't healthy - you do need to supply your body with nutrition, and also avoid going into starvation mode) - then you are running a 500kcal/day deficit - about 3500 kcal/week, or 1 pound of weight loss. If you want to lose any more than that, eating less, outside of a metabolic lab environment, is probably not going to be effective (you either have your RMR drop as your body goes into starvation mode, or you end up binge eating as your body reacts to the massive deficit of calories).

This only allows for increased caloric output - and it's relatively simple to do 500 kcal/additional aerobic exercise/day - an hour of brisk walking, with maybe 30 minutes of stair climbing does the trick. This gets you from 1 pound of weight loss a week, to 2 pounds, and has the additional benefit of increasing your VO2 Max.

This doesn't even touch on the importance of resistance strength training exercise, and how key that is to maintaining a healthy body while dropping weight - it's all to easy to turn into a lightweight flabby weak person by just not eating/exercising.
There are two components to Prime Now, at least in NYC.

In Android, disable google now and/or replace the launcher.

I don't really hold either of them in the wrong on this issue... It really is about delivering a better integrated experience. Although, I do prefer Google's services over MS's bing and cortana.
The Increasingly Automated Hunt for Mobile Missile Launchers
If you look at the video, they have a neat system where the mass is stored perpendicular to the rails in the storage yard, then cars come in, pick up the masses, rotate them parallel to the rail for transport, then re-rotate them back to perpendicular for storage at the other end.
There is some very interesting work happening in this area. Specifically: how can we make money by preserving & building health?

This is the foundation of the whole pay-for-outcome revolution pushed by the ACA. They want to pay doctors for keeping people healthy, not for the lengths they go to fix you when you're sick.

Doing this requires more data than we have now and new market structures.
Why do people invent these strange terms?

"wraparound arithmetic". "unchecked arithmetics". Really?

The correct term is modular arithmetic, which is well established in maths for centuries. And it is properly backed by a really nice and almost dead-simple theory (at least from a programmer's point of view). Is this no longer taught in school?

If you like to emphasize the fact that it's mostly modulo a power of two (2^n), then call it two's complement. However, that overemphasizes the binary representation, which I find most of the time more distracting than helpful.

As a side note, integer division is usually not performed in modular arithmetics, but addition, subtraction and multiplication are.
Traffic jams are often causes in the way the article suggests, and if you drive at the average speed, instead of the maximum legal or safe speed whenever you can, there's a good change the jam will have dissipated just before you reach it, and you'll get where you want to go just as fast.
This means that the cars behind you (provided it stays behind you) also don't have to stop. Their drivers should thank you for saving their fuel rather than curse you for driving too slow.

To minimize fuel consumption, it's best to drive in the highest gear, at the lowest speed for that gear. Failing that, to drive at a constant speed in the highest gear for that speed. If you do have to slow down, ease off the accelerator and change down gears, rather than use the brake. This means thinking ahead. You can do this when approaching a red traffic light, so that it will be green by the time you reach it.

There are a few other tricks to save fuel, such as driving at the minimum safe distance behind a big rig, and using gravity on hills to slow down or speed up.

This is sometimes called hypermiling: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy-efficient_driving
The other problem is that this isn't scalable. Imagine a traffic jam that stretches for miles. Now imagine that same jam where everyone has left an extra three car lengths in front of them. You're suddenly using a lot more road per car. Tailgating actually seems like the most efficient use of space to me, provided you tailgate effectively (don't yo-yo).
The app also gives you insights into what's happening with your OnHub -- per device traffic sums, speed tests, alerts, etc.

And we're constantly improving it.

IMHO that's the real win with the OnHub; the router itself is constantly upgraded with up to date firmware with security updates and new features. And the mobile app that administrates it is constantly getting new features.

Maybe I should transfer to marketing.
Here is how it worked, was pretty effective for me:

"It was an account Twitter created that sent you custom alerts based on the people you had chosen to follow. If 10 of them all followed the same person suddenly, MagicRecs would send you a direct message with the name of the account and which of your friends followed it. If a bunch of your friends all retweeted the same tweet, MagicRecs would let you know about that, too."

http://www.theverge.com/2016/4/29/11539574/twitter-kills-mag...

You had to explicitly follow @MagicRecs account though, so I doubt it's to blame for Kayne/Kardashians.
Im curious how you think they'll shut your router off?

Certainly, they could turn cloud based features such as this off, but the router itself?
