While this is the general outcome, it should be noted that the airlines are under no legal obligation to help you out.

For the most part they will try to accommodate, but it's not a sure thing and I wouldn't rely on it.
I wrote a tool to evaluate memory per connection one layer up (at websocket level), using autobahn. It works in asyncio, so it should work fine with uvloop.

One-off event is not a problem. You can clone the world many times at the moment when scientists made their prediction and find the distribution over ensemble instead of over time.
Judging the act not to be subject to criminal sanction is very far from judging it to be "the right answer", or even legally permitted in systems which have both criminal and civil remedies.
Er just as a point I would say that most often support people, especially in b2b companies, are not sales. In fact there is often an intentional, clear distinction. I've worked support at several companies now and while I've definitely been a resource for sales I was never actually sales driven in any fashion.
Unsupervised Learning and Other Mysteries: An Interview with OpenAI Cofounder
>It's only incredibly effective in a static world. The world is not static nor is the human brain

Neural nets aren't static. And yes they aren't great at online learning yet, but they are better than anything else and there is research into improving that.

>Where's the intelligence?

I'm not claiming a purely feed forward NN is intelligent, on it's own. But I do believe it could be extended and built upon to create one.

And just because an algorithm is simple, does not mean it's not intelligent. There is zero proof that intelligence requires complex algorithms. It's just all the simple ones we've tried haven't worked, yet.

>You're brute forcing the partial elements that contribute to a desired answer by slamming a cheese grater (NN) in forward and reverse flow ... hoping the important stuff sticks somewhere. Don't try to make it seem any more complex than that. Curve fitting at its finest. Constraint optimization. Gradient Descent. Regression. statistics all packaged up with fancy buzzwords.

Yes and it's super effective. What's your problem? Many, many intelligent people have tried to come up with more effective algorithms. Besides minor tweaks and variations, nothing has done better. But by all means, invent one yourself if you can.

>Which is why no one can tell you how NN works. The intelligent people who defined them are dead.

Almost anyone can tell you how an NN works these days. And that's simply not true, many of the early researchers in NNs are now very respected and run their own labs. They are far from dead, they are publishing more research than ever.

>So, Strong A.I ... AGI. I'm thinking those who have the best shot at it are people who know how NNs work on down to the mathematics and statistics, theory, philosophy and pseudoscience. Given this understanding, they have the ability to formulate new math/statistics/computational models and frankly whatever else it takes to represent a true form of intelligence.

Oh I don't disagree. And I'm very familiar with how NNs work, I've even written code for them from scratch. And I don't believe AGI will be just a big regular NN, there need to be more insights into how intelligence works. But I believe NNs will be a big part of it.

Thanks. One of the comments on that SO answer from Aug 2015 says:

> WARNING: we did development using the free version, but to upgrade to the paid version (to do more than 100 searches), google forces you to turn off the "search the entire web but emphasize included sites"

I remain not very confident that you can really search the whole web with google custom search, or if you can that it's not some kind of a loophole that google might close without warning.

But if someone has actually done this succesfully, with a paid account for more than 100/queries a day, I would definitely be interested in hearing about it!

I interpret it as socially conservative, but preferring strong state involvement in economy.

Personal liberty is not very important. There can be rich people, but they are to be humbled by a powerful government. A very extreme example of such a regime is the National Socialist Germany.

For condo towers, things are mostly going to be OK even if no one is living in the unit. You pay your strata fees & the strata takes care of most of the things which become a problem simply due to the passage of time.

For single family detached, the value of the building is not a big deal. It's the dirt the building sits on that people are buying. Prices went up ~30% over the last year in Vancouver.

There are also buyers who think nothing of tearing down a relatively new building because it's not quite what they want.

As long as the city remains a place people wish to live, the dirt will retain value. Perhaps it goes down 50-80% - you can live on your land or you can use its cash flows to help cover your living expenses. As a safe-haven, it's not a bad option.

The price in CAD/USD/EUR/CNY/XBT is almost irrelevant to these owners.

The problematic purchasers in my view are the locals. Many are buying because the market is going up - "I'd better buy now or I'll never be able to afford it". In a falling market, that demand many not exist.

Though I also remain unconvinced that the foreign demand will remain strong in a falling market.

What's going on in Vancouver isn't sustainable in any traditional sense. But the market can also remain irrational longer than many can remain solvent.

I agree that the phenomenon of properties remaining vacant represents a failure. I'm curious what opportunities you think there are. I suspect that many of the opportunities would require regulatory changes to be viable, but I'm open to a different perspective.

Regarding Chinese people understanding capitalism, I suspect there's a very different view culturally. I'm told that the advertising for financial products is quite different - in North America we tend to expect a convervative branding. In China you'll see investments with more of a WeChat approach (including being actually promoted on WeChat). Property rights were recently codified in China - i.e. 2007 or 2008. Real estate is mostly only available as leasehold in China. There's a lot of people who recently became quite wealthy quite quickly. I think it's very likely that they have very different understandings of capitalism than North Americans, who also have a different understanding than Europeans.
Maybe not as profitable, but that seems to be a tangential issue. Just trying to understand what's being proposed here.
> However, the performance bottleneck in aiohttp turned out to be its HTTP parser, which is so slow, that it matters very little how fast the underlying I/O library is.

This is exactly the same observation that motivated the Mongrel web server for Ruby, 10 years ago this year.

"Mongrel is a small library that provides a very fast HTTP 1.1 server for Ruby web applications. [...] What makes Mongrel so fast is the careful use of an Ragel [C] extension to provide fast, accurate HTTP 1.1 protocol parsing. This makes the server scream without too many portability issues." -- https://github.com/mongrel/mongrel

And its successor Thin:

"Thin is a Ruby web server that glues together 3 of the best Ruby libraries in web history: (1) the Mongrel parser, the root of Mongrel speed and security" -- http://code.macournoyer.com/thin/

In case anyone is still wondering, parsing in Ruby/Python/Lua is pretty slow compared to C/C++. That's why I personally have been really interested for a long time in writing parsers in C that can be used from higher level languages. That way you can get the best of both worlds.
Just reduce the amount. Start with any no-strings-attached amount and climb from there.

As soon as you give people as little as 100$/month you will see some people tweeting about all the tricks they found to make it enough. Of course it wont be enough to bring most from poverty and those who can live off that will often start off some possessions, but the goal is to lower the bar of entry into that situation.

Only under these conditions can we transition from the bullshit-job economy we have and make sure that the general automation of production will benefit most instead of a few.
I am sure the judge has been explained, by newspapers at least. If he knew what he was ruling about, he wouldn't even need an explanation.

With such absurd court rulings, it is clearly a wise decision to not have employees in the country.
> In fact, the best managers realize that the happiness and success of the people they manage trumps their own desires.

I'd say everyone's happiness is equally important. I agree that managers are often in a more secure position and can afford sacrificing some of their desires. Generally speaking, they should not need to become unhappy in order to make their own employees happy. Excepting, of course, a CEO who's earned his due and is now taking a $1 salary, and the cash-strapped entrepeneur who's trying to hold his fledgling business afloat and expects future returns.
Is it? Here in Canada, an empty belly won't kill you if you have the energy to steal, but the -45c nights will absolutely turn you into a popsicle. And you can't steal shelter. But you can steal money to provide a roof.
Replacing a home brew ORM in an application of any scale is a massive time and bug investment. It will be tied into every single aspect of everything, and even into the build and database deploy processes. It often has its own classes with their own internal behaviour which get passed around raw - so you can't just upgrade one price of code and test and move on, you'll have to rewrite the entire product at once.

Having seen it done I can understand very easily how someone could not just remove it.
> That "we don't know much" nuance rarely makes it into short articles.

Well it made it into this one:

Click on my post from last year to get more details about both the strengths and weaknesses of this paper. As with any retrospective study like this, there are reasons to be cautious about the results.

Clicking the link gives us a pretty nuanced discussion:

On the negative side, it's risky to look solely at homicide numbers. This is because the absolute number of murders is small, especially on a city-by-city basis, and that means there's a lot of noise in the numbers. This is especially true when you're limited to a period of time as short as 15 years. There's also the fact that this was an era when lead paint was widely used, and that's very hard to tease out from the use of lead in pipes. Finally, there's the usual problem of any study like this: what do you control for? The use of lead pipes is plausibly unrelated to anything else related to crime, but it's impossible to know for sure. The authors do control for black population, foreign-born population, occupations, home ownership, and gender breakdown, and that reduces their effect size from 11.4 percent to 8.6 percent. Might some other control reduce it even further?

Plus there's the anomaly of Southern cities. Very few of them used lead pipes, but some did, and their murder rates were essentially no different from any other Southern cities. Why? It's possible that this is because their use of lead pipes was small (F&M have data on lead pipe use by city, but not on how much lead piping was used in each city). But it's still odd.

This is actually the second time they have reduced their Web API for search results. Google used to offer a very full featured REST API, but then took it offline and replaced it with a weak AJAX one:

http://googlesystem.blogspot.ca/2008/04/google-search-rest-a...

You could actually go cool things with the original API. I used it to power a predecessor to https://friskr.com, but we had to switch web search engines after that change.
Fair enough, but i add that academic life is sad, one has to pursue one's endeavor at one's own cost. However, politicians and the public want too much from us researchers. So sometimes, we do believe that our sweating formulas have life impact, or to fancy, save the world.
Semi-related question:

What makes this more attractive, friendlier, and/or plausible than building a service whereby your users—that is, developers—place a CC on file (via Stripe or whatever), and then just charge them by total monthly API requests in one bill?
I'm confused by your statement. Investors and board members aren't generally paid? These other things like landlords and property managers are a function of size admittedly. Advertising should not be a net loss as well...

I've seen this. Automated a bunch in well documented PowerShell modules which I trained staff on and was all taken out when I left.

Because the PM said, "If it can be in a script it should be in C#!"

Of course the C# programmers didn't like being taken off of productive work to build infrastructure tooling which was working perfectly well in PowerShell where it belonged. So they quit. So did the remaining DBA staff. All of them.

So the company told their customers this feature was broken and would not be updated in the foreseeable future. That was a year or two ago.

They could just run the script. But they refuse to on principle. So they suffer and the customers suffer. Companies are great!
You may not, but you don't live in Canada. Here in Canada, food is secondary to shelter. If you have the energy to steal, you won't die today. However, if you have no shelter in -40, you're dead. You can't steal shelter, but you can steal money to exchange for shelter. So, yea, you do have a basic biological need for money...

Yeah, I too find it hard to figure out exactly who the ruby committers are, or what goes on amongst them. I believe this is simply because of that language barrier. From what I do know, the way MRI is developed is not at all atypical or unusual compared to most other large open source (primarily English-language) projects.

Here's a useful (to those curious to learn more about ruby committers) interview from 2013 with 15 ruby committers, note the questions and answers have been translated between English and Japanese. http://www.sitepoint.com/meet-fifteen-ruby-core-committers/

My impression is that a lot of discussion on MRI happens in Japanese on Japanese listservs. Of course, it doesn't take a language barrier to make things seem not so transparent -- for comparison a few years ago, Rails core team started taking the majority of their discussion to private core-team-only listservs. (I gather because they were finding dealing with the peanut gallery made it too hard to get things done/decided). At least there's still lots of open (and English-language) communication on the github issues or open listserv, but there are often times when I'm not really sure who or how or on what basis architectural decisions are made for Rails too, a lot is done in private, is my impression.

But I suspect to curious Japanese-speakers, MRI development may even be _more_ transparent than Rails is to English-speakers! I think (but not entirely sure) all of the listservs MRI devs use to collaborate are actually open -- you just have to read/write Japanese to understand what's there or engage effectively. :)

If you're going to complain about the slowness of pages because of the idiosyncrasies of one library over another, then complain about that.

If you're going to complain about the slowness of pages due to trackers and ad servers regardless of which library (or none at all) is used for primary content formatting, then complain about that.

You're talking apples while holding up an orange.
Besides the good reasons brought up by other posters, game devs tend to be very secretive of their shader code, so they like the bytecode as an obfuscation layer.
Certainly not but consider the level of dysfunction and complete lack of interdepartment cooperation. We have the NSA actively hacking other nation-states and our own private sector and then we have an FBI that resets an icloud password preventing them from getting a backup of data they desperately needed.

If you look at the bug filed against the man page, it doesn't exactly make a strong case. It just suggests some weasel words, about qualifying "large amount of data" etc. (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71211)

So bug report understates the issue, nobody has gotten around to writing a good quality patch, everyone is just loudly complaining elsewhere.
Among many problems as others have pointed out, you are also incentivizing your entire staff to heavily pursue leadership positions. This means a great technical person would have no choice but to take on management tasks to increase his/her compensation. You not only lose great technical talent in the process but you end up with "leaders" who probably don't like management as much. Every one I know in the valley has learned that comp should never be tied to "leadership component". In many top tier companies it is possible for a person in non-management position to get same or better comp as management position - everything else being same.

I know. The command-line workflow for publishing SSRS reports is awful, the SSIS packages use that crazy graphical programming language and are hyper-brittle, and Management Studio still calls all its tabs sqlquery## until you save them and uses a moronic non-standard regexp for find. So many obvious bone-headed things an open development process would have taken around back and shot. It marrs an otherwise-great and featureful platform.

Not just Europe. They are trying to achieve the corporate dream that is a prerequisite for every cyberpunk dystopia: a set of corporate laws that is placed in a jurisdiction superior to that of the state and that could even fine government that do not obey them.

We still can't agree that there should be an international jurisdiction over war crimes, but millions (billions?) are spent in this effort to create a universal right to profit over different nations.

That reminds me of this challenge Heroku is currently facing (http://go.theinformation.com/884b08):

> When an app hits a certain scale, the cost of Heroku can be many times that the cost of cutting out the middlemen and running on AWS directly.

> For that reason, Heroku finds it tough to attract big companies. They know they’re going to operate at a large scale, and they’re open to taking the trouble to cut out the middleman of a Heroku if the savings are great enough.
It's just a form of standardization by the government in terms of the technical protocol. Just like EU has some with OOXML and ODF. This ensures that other players can come in and build alternative clients. Without regulations, it's going to be a nation relying on a company. I don't think that is good.
Variable pricing would create those exact incentives.
