Indeed. I recommend you look into one of the projects that is trying to mitigate this problem by allowing you to precisely specify, inspect, and change the dependency graph of software on your computer. That is, Guix or Nix.

Guix (and I presume Nix) can then take advantage of that transparency and control to build containers, virtual machines, and bare-metal systems to your specifications.

I deliberately infected myself with 25 hookworm, twice, in order to alleviate "allergies". In short, basically, it is indeed effective, but can have side effects of its own.

Also, I don't think it's so clearcut that I have allergies because I'm missing 50 hookworm so much as because my immune system developed without a broad range of 'germs' and 'parasites' and other natural cofactors. As a treatment option for quality-of-life, though, it's pretty sound.

Helminthic therapy is pretty analogous to supplementing probiotics, and directly analogous to supplementing the subtype of probiotics known as soil-based organisms.
At my work, we have a setup close to this.
On a successful build of jenkins (after build action), a deb is generated with FPM (awesome piece of software btw) and uploaded to an s3 bucket.
Then on another machine, a cron that run every minutes sync the s3 bucket to a local aptly repository and publish it to another s3 bucket which is the real debian repository.

This works well but the s3+cron part is probably not the smartest way and publication can take some time (like 5-10min).

I would say it depends on how much of an effort is made on the part of the person. If they're not making any effort, then why should any accommodation be made for them? Get rid of them, and find someone who will at least make an effort. If they are making an effort, it still can be difficult, because even though they're making an effort, they're still shutting down other members of the team.

You could encode the input with one-hot decimal digits. Then checking divisibility by 5 is just seeing whether input 0 or 5 of the least significant digit is high. Divisibility by 3 requires checking whether the digit sum is divisible by 3 which you could easily do by connecting a neuron to all inputs, weighing the inputs proportional to the digit they represent and activate if the sum is divisible by 3. For the three digit numbers from 0 to 999 this would require 30 inputs, one neuron to check divisibility by 5, twenty neurons to check divisibility by 3 and four neurons in the output layer to create the desired outputs. You could reduce the number of neurons a bit if you added another layer and did the divisibility by 3 in one additional step, I think twelve would do if you subtracted 10 or 20 with four neurons and just checked for 0, 3, 6 and 9 with eight neurons. You could also choose the input encoding to be one-hot base 15 digits which would make the net trivial and offload the hard part into the input encoding. Whether you could easily arrive at that design by training is of course a whole different question.

I'm not sure which of the parent posters started but it seems like we're conflating two rather unrelated meanings of the word "compression" here: compression in the sense of data-compression (which is often lossy for many audio formats like mp3) and compression in the sense of dynamics-compression, which is what is meant by "compression" in the context of mastering.

Yeah, but everything's part of an extended negotiation process. How strong was Netflix really a few years ago with 20% of HBO's subscriber base? Even today they are still smaller although perhaps equal in revenue.
I see, if it works that way, it's not good for both end users and creators.

Why doesn't it work like this for example?

Distributor gradually sells the film, and gets percentage of each sale (and the rest goes to creators). Then creators benefit from using as many distributors as possible, because it will maximize profit in the long run. If they are just paid once by the distributor, then sure, they can't rely on potentially growing amount of sales over time.

In case of games it works like I said above. And in case of music it can work that way too. So why not for films?

What I found most disturbing in this short is how devoid of a personality the protagonist seems to be. She appears at times bored, annoyed, exhausted, lost – and all of these, yes, are marks of an individuality still present – but what happened after the AR hijack was revealing: after a moment of disorientation, once her AR system got back online, she simply walked to the closest AR stimulus, and promptly entered the game. This one happened to be a game of a Catholicist theme, but could probably have been about anything else. Her lack of pause, her willingness to enter a new game just for relief, for purpose, show how empty the protagonist is.

This world seems one where the self is constructed mostly from the gamified narratives of the AR system, whose creation mechanism is not revealed, but appears to lie completely beyond the reach of its consumers. Here there are, I think, hints of a free, wildly competitive market not only of goods and services, but most importantly of identities.

If something like this is in reach of our (imminent) technology, I hope we have the sense to avoid it becoming a reality.

You can already see a contemporary version where people everywhere, faces buried in their devices obsessively txting and no doubt looking up their 'friends' on Facebook. Anything but instigate a conversation with the person sitting next to them. See 'The Congress (2013)' for an interesting variation on the theme. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1821641/

Interestingly, in french, it's the same kind of roots (déjeuner, dé- (quite like the un- prefix in english), jeuner (fast)), but the word doesn't actually point to the morning meal, but instead, it points to lunch.
The word for the morning meal is "petit déjeuner", literally "small un-fast". Presumably, people were not having a morning meal a long time ago.

...meanwhile 90% of the world keeps torrenting because Netflix (or most of the content ON Netflix) is not available in their country - or the content becomes available 3 years after release.

And trying to Pay for Netflix by using a VPN (which costs extra $) to stream from the US is obviously cheating and has to be banned as well.

The sibling to this comment links to an article about that. This is the first I've heard of the situation, but that article doesn't say anything about her accusing him of harassment. Rather, it says that the two of them were in a relationship at the time, and she accused him of being complicit by sharing information with her harassers and otherwise ignoring the issue.

Regardless of what happened or didn't happen, his close association with her probably didn't help anything.
Poland, along with the eastern European countries doesn't have this hangup about human biology.

I believe what I was saying mostly applies to the US and western European countries.

For all their faults, communist countries at least took science education seriously. The idea that a woman and man have a finite amount of time to produce healthy offspring is a 'bad culture fit' for the kind of egalitarian orthodoxy that is not taken seriously in ex-communist countries.

If you're in the US or western Europe, try asking random average people what the age limits are before the natural fertility rate is 1% per month (it is age 45).

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/19/age-female-fertilit...

Ironic that it advises education. Most IVF clinics don't accept eggs after 42 because the probability of an IVF cycle working is less than 5%.

Here's a study showing the contradiction between what women/men have the impression of being true, with the facts.

http://humrep.oxfordjournals.org/content/27/5/1375.abstract

"Even though participants generally perceived themselves as being educated about fertility issues, both men and women vastly overestimated the ages at which female fertility shows a slight and a marked decline. The discrepancy between their perceived knowledge and what is known regarding the science of reproduction is alarming and could lead to involuntary childlessness if men and women's reproductive decisions are based on inaccurate perceptions."

I don't find it alarming that people make mistakes. I do find it alarming that this was well known in the past, even when people couldn't read and now university students are less educated than their grandparents.

Come to think of it, maybe the canard about education reducing the reproduction rate in developing countries is correct after all...
This seems like a clumsy and spastic criticism of the Cuntz, et al paper. Don't get me wrong, just as happens like 99% of the time, some science paper sweeps some assumptions under the rug and some university PR machine hypes it beyond what is reasonable.

But there is no hint in any of this that people are privileging scientific inquiry above other kinds of inquiry. I'm certain that any of the paper's authors would admit straight away that they had to make assumptions (that is just called all of science) and that the assumptions, which they might argue are defensible, can certainly be criticized by others. Indeed, their assumptions seem very reasonable to me, I see no fault with making the assumptions they made (even if other academics in turn can point out improvements upon those assumptions), and I consider it good science for them to turn the problem into an analytical one clearly by making such assumptions.

I can't comment on the near allegations of plagiarism. The fact that an earlier paper made a similar claim does not seem really at all relevant to me though. At least from what is quoted in this piece, the two don't seem directly related, and it's extremely common for a result such as this to be rediscovered sometime later. You can complain that they should have done better legwork to identify the earlier work, but that kind of complaint is extremely different and not nearly such a grave accusation as plagiarism.

I more blame PR hype machines (especially universities) for the attitude that it's reasonable to trumpet results up beyond the weight of the actual arguments they make. "Scientists" aren't doing that, except in so far as they play bullshit PR games to get papers published, just like academics in every other field, including historians.

I think maybe this person should read That Chocolate Study on Slate Star Codex [0] and calm down a minute. Either we fix what's wrong with the reward system that forces academics to behave this way when publishing, or else we expect the basic literacy of anyone consuming headlines derived from research papers is insanely high and that they will account for possible errors, misleading hype, need for more data, challenging assumptions, etc., on their own.

It doesn't seem super productive to me, though, to make a whiny fit about what some other academics did in order to publish their paper. It's a whiny fit that's been thrown over and over and over with no results ever.

Oh, come on. If you're not interested in a job you should be applying for a different one (in today's developer job market, that is). Asking an applicant to express why they are interested is not unreasonable.
This is I think the point where I am starting to get a little afraid of Netflix instead of rooting for them. They are becoming a monopoly that is going to be tough to displace. While they were producing their own original content, it was awesome. Now it seems like you'll basically be either subscribing to Netflix or torrenting content, but you won't have a third option. Having said that, this is a brilliant move on their part.

About 85% of American households have cable TV. It sounds like your standards in this area are, ahem, a bit unusual. Perhaps it's not a great idea to extrapolate from your personal experience to the bulk of Americans and what they will or will not do when presented with a bunch of different streaming services.
Not the one downvoting you, but I think that what is needed for college is the drive to learn despite these issues that you raise. We've all had teachers like that. Sometimes a prof can add brilliant insight; sometimes you are better off following along in the book and not bother taking notes except in the margin; and sometimes (rarely, hopefully) you are better off skipping class and reading, perhaps from a text different than the one assigned.

The class is important for giving you an organization of the material that helps to solidify your foundation for future learning, and also to hold you accountable for the pace. This doesn't work for everybody, admittedly; but often it is an intellectual maturity thing, and by making ourselves go through it we are much better off in our fourth year than our first.
Popular support. Legacy of Cold War era anti nuke propaganda and ridiculous portrayal of reactors and nuclear waste in fiction have lead to a skewed public perception on which politicians don't want to get burnt. Fukushima happened. Paperwork gets expensive. Active failsafe systems several layers deep complicate construction of plants. All of this loops back onto corporations and public institutions not wanting to invest into research.
I dont disagree with your points, but its also important to view things in the macro and micro scale here. Do you want to play long ball or short ball? If I lost my job in 2008 due to the economy collapsing and had a family to take care of am I going to A) Try and fix the world because it is generally unfair or B) Get to work to support myself and my family and accept the reality I live in?

Yes the world can be better, but do you not agree that sometimes making it better just means getting to work (not in the literal sense of the word but in the sense of an individual executing a plan and making his/her life better as a result).

Would you rather associate with people who do nothing but complain that life is unfair and watch them wait for the world to change, or would you rather associate with people who see a problem/challenge and start solving?

It's not as black and white as my previous sentence obviously, and both problems can be worked on at the same time. But I have zero issue with people who are less fortunate than others putting in hard work to make their lives better. That kind of effort and subsequent results should have a cascading positive effect on those that surround him/her, which in turn plants the seed of change you are looking for. That kind of change however will take probably decades to see and significant improvement, if you look at the widening wealth gap between the lower, middle and upper class I do not see society moving in a good direction at the moment.
