Their status is x or it's not. Regardless they must be afforded basic human rights including legal representation that could see their status changed.
But they do change the function. You use RELU now, instead of pretraining.
I think you've oversold the similarities between Jobs and Gates and undersold the fact that Tim Cook is doing basically the same job at Apple that he did during most of 2004-2011 when a number of hit products were developed and launched. I also think you're underselling the Watch et al and forgetting about lots of underwhelming products that Jobs introduced. Is Apple Music a failure compared to Ping or MobileMe ... or only compared to Spotify a company that had dominated the category for 5 years? What % of the smartphone market did the smash hit iphone have 1 year in again? 2 years? 3 years?
That's a very nice proverb, love it.

I got the original Pebble from the Kickstarter, and the Time as well. I don't use them for fitness* but I do like the sleep tracking. I've pretty much had a Pebble on my wrist 24x6.5 (I charge it overnight once a week-ish) - after pretty much stopping completely wearing a watch shortly after I got my first cellphone with a clock in the '90s.
Do you have a source on the rise in reverse-mortgages by seniors? Would love to research that more.
So MySQL is great if you use none of its features, but then its really hardly different from all the other databases. So it's not the implementation, but the very promises that databases make which can't be held, but if you know that, you are just fine. Great insight, and pretty much the definition of NoSQL...
Thanks for the reply. I'll hit your questions in order:

1. Yes, it configures an Ubuntu virtual machine using Vagrant and VirtualBox. The beta will require those 2 tools to be preinstalled, but we are looking at ways to package those tools into our app so that it will require no dependencies.

2. Our VM comes pre-installed with xdebug as well as a lot of other features. I've tried to keep it as lean as possible, and we are still working on making it feature-complete for the final release. Our VM can be viewed at https://github.com/ezekg/theme-juice-vvv.

3. If you prefer not to use Capistrano, that is completely fine. You can deploy however you want, tj just comes with a deploy command that can be taken advantage of if you like.

4. The entire app focuses on best practices, so it requires you to version control your code in order to take advantage of starter templates and SSH deployments.

5. We don't plan on any specific integration, as tj is just a command line utility with a single configuration file called a Juicefile. The desktop app will simply act as a GUI for the command line utility.

And for your last question, the value in this app and the CLI is that it tries to push WP into modern best practices using version control, dependency management, build tools and consistent deployments. It's a lot more than just a simple Vagrant environment. It makes managing and creating WP sites a lot more enjoyable, as it automates all of the setup and gets rid of the dreaded FTP deployment.
I've forgotten where, but I've recently read a blog post/opinion that we might be encountering the dawn of an applied mathematics winter. Instead of meticulously crafting algorithms for particular problems, we just apply stochastic gradient descent to a computational graph to evolve whatever program solves the problem defined by some training data.

Exciting times.
> Perhaps it's just guilty by association with colonialism and outmoded racial attitudes?

That's the main reason "Negro" (which was, for a time, favored, even among the population the label was used for) and "Indian" are considered offensive in many uses today by the groups they have been used to refer to ("Indian" has some additional issues.)
Acquiring and trashing companies is seriously annoying. Disney did this to about a half dozen game companies. Google is doing it to about a half dozen robotics companies. In both cases, the acquisitions were initially seen as positive. In both cases, the parent company had no clue what to do with what they bought.

I have a friend who works at a company recently acquired by Microsoft, a company whose product was not Microsoft-oriented. I wrote to her "You've been acquired by the Borg - now what?" She hopes the company doesn't get trashed.

Another case that irks me is QNX, the microkernel OS. They were bought by Harmon, which is mostly a car stereo company. That didn't work out, and Harmon sold them to Blackberry. Blackberry has a clue technically, but is stuck with a business model in decline. Meanwhile, a really good OS is in limbo. Not dead; many important embedded systems use QNX. The reliability is much better than either Windows or Linux, partly because the kernel is small. As a result, it's actually been debugged.
There are a lot of providers that do not check what the outbound caller-id is set as. The provider verifies that the server is allowed to send the traffic, that is all.

I find it strange seeing non-pebble smartwatches on people's wrists where the display is off by default. I don't think having a device that is passively in sleep mode by default is very fashionable. Kind of like looking at an elaborate painting frame minus the painting. When I hear about people spending top dollar for the higher-end Apple watches, I just think it is so strange that the expensive fashion accessory they are wearing will be seen by others as being off most of the time.

"C is still recognizably the same."

I wouldn't state that so categorically:

foo(x)
{
return x+x;
}

or

bar(x)
float x;
{
return x+x;
}

If you didn't live when that was C, I'm not sure you would recognize it as such. Certainly, I could claim it was B, C's precursor and get away with it with quite a few people. It doesn't look that different from the example at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/B_(programming_language)#Exa...:

printn(n, b) {
extrn putchar;
auto a;

if (a = n / b)
printn(a, b); /* recursive */
putchar(n % b + '0');

Aha, thank you for the clarification. That's a lot less worrying.
Instead of treating them as criminals, they could be treated as enemy combatants or terrorists. Better?

The basic problem is that they must be stopped. This is not negotiable; Australia has a valuable culture that would be devastated by mass immigration.

So, how do you propose to stop them?

Well?

I will be very surprised if you can come up with anything which does not ultimately require resorting to violence.
I often say to my fellow engineers that software engineering is a profession of destroying jobs. There doesn't seem to be any follow up discussion though, everyone just nods and moves on to the next subject.

Disney should just let Square Enix handle their gamibg ventures. Somehow they could turn a 14-year-old girl's crossover fanfic into a phenomenal series and franchise in its own right (I of course am referring to Kingdom Hearts).
> I've come to a conclusion that Cook's reign at Apple will probably mirror Ballmer's reign at Microsoft.

Doubtful. Cook seems well aware of his limitations in vision and abilities. You see a microcosm of this at the Keynotes: he wisely hands off to other experts as soon as possible.

You also see this in his handling of senior roles in Apple. He's not the visionary Steve was but he hires to keep the vision active in the culture by finding domain experts. This is true in retail, in industrial design, in chip design...

He's nothing like Balmer in how he actually handles the company and it's staff, and that's why I think you'll be surprised.

I mean, the "me too" thing is symptomatic of this line of thinking: Apple has always followed on; it's what they are best at. They see a market, see how it works, then take what works and distill it down to a product that is narrower in scope but "just works" for the general market.

First to market isn't a big deal, it never has been, it's getting the product right that's important. Apple is very good at that.
Using ReLU units is a newer advancement and I agree that changing the activation function does change the cost function. However, before Hinton got all excited about ReLU units, he was still showing huge improvements just by using pretraining and later by using dropout, which shouldn't change the cost function.
Oh, agreed, just calling back to the outrage over "dude, why would you need a library for that?"
What are the practical applications of this in the near term though?

Can't really think of any. Signboards would be good but I doubt the scale/price/size works out well (for now). ereaders don't really need colour IMO though it would obviously be a benefit.

That was my whole point. I may be a "typical" United States HN user paying thousands a month in rent, but "typical for HN" is a very small group, and "typical for millions and millions of other Americans" is something very different.
Appreciate the context for that comparison, but imagine that CPU for probably 50% or less the cost and with a DDR4 controller. Sounds like a valuable product to me.

Maybe somebody could give us an estimated performance per dollar based on this some previous AMD CPU releases..
I wouldn't if I were Dropbox. Given the size of them, the speed they want to move, the security concerns with other people's code (vs a known beast that you're responsible for that you can limit to just what you need), the custom behavior they want (like new kinds of permissions, and the ultimate flexiblity of being in control of your own destiny... I'd make the same call. Dropbox has the talent to do this right.

I'm reminded of Jimmy Carter's "Malaise" speech:

The symptoms of this crisis of the American spirit are all around us. For the first time in the history of our country a majority of our people believe that the next five years will be worse than the past five years. Two-thirds of our people do not even vote. The productivity of American workers is actually dropping, and the willingness of Americans to save for the future has fallen below that of all other people in the Western world.

As you know, there is a growing disrespect for government and for churches and for schools, the news media, and other institutions. This is not a message of happiness or reassurance, but it is the truth and it is a warning.

Everything he listed has gotten worse, not better. Both local communities and our institutions have fragmented, crumbled, or turned, at least in part, cynically exploitative (see: degree mills, asset forfeiture, Creflo Dollar, myriad regulations enabling rent-seeking and hindering free enterprise).

Because HN and tech world chatter is my background noise, I think about Universal Basic Income, though I don't know much more about it than a definition. It seems to me the "winners" in the current game can provide assistance and some level of comfort in a more expansive and efficient way than the degrading system in place today. But they can't provide meaning. Neither can the institutions Carter listed, alone. At minimum, an earned trust in all or most of them is a foundation on which secure footing can be had to build a life, a family, a community. But I don't know how we get there from here. It sure doesn't seem that either party is steering that way, or that our current media is capable of engaging with the situation without driving 10 different outrage-optimized wedges through it.

The civic and moral fabric of the nation is not an election-winning topic, as Carter found out.
Get an Android. The experience is much better.

Believe it or not, I actually went that route. My Pebble experience was better, but there's a reason I'm back on iOS. In retrospect, it was incredibly stupid to change my mobile OS just to support a watch. Shoulda just bought a different watch.
Sure, we can't know whether they fit the formal refugee criteria until we assess their claims, but all are subject to offshore processing regardless of their true status.

I believe that even those granted refugee status are trapped on Nauru or Manis Island until they agree to resettlement in a third country like Cambodia.

The Government has refused to resettle refugees to New Zealand under an agreement brokered by an earlier Government, presumably on the grounds that humane treatment in a third country would further encourage maritime immigration.
That would be called in duplex in most cases.

I think they don't because then you get into multi dwelling zoning and if the property was zoned for single-family homes it could get complicated (probably not by much).
They know what's active, what's new, can pre cache and watch what you do. I'm not sure what they do about Virus scanners and search indexes, but they should be able to know what process is requesting the data and do stuff accordingly.
I just checked that on three devices and I am certain that this is a problem unconnected to encyption. Not sure how, but you might be able to solve this somehow.

When you are motivated for an ideology it's rarely for short term self interest like you imply. If that were true there wouldnt be any rich people voting for Democrats, which isn't the case.

With first hand account of a family member that would benefit from Obamacare but didn't vote for Obama, it was a matter of disagreeing with many other policies. E.g.

Sorry for not having comprehensive knowledge. I see that MySQL added support for a JSON datatype in the past year – I just knew it wasn't in 5.7 last time I looked, and it seems like an unusual feature to add in a 'patch' version.

> Of course it flies in the face of best practice for running a smaller system. Is there tradeoffs? Absolutely! Would it be smart to do this if the need for this scale is not obvious? Probably not

From the article:

> The routes table is of the order of magnitude of 100,000,000 records, 10GB of storage.
> The sites table is of the order of magnitude of 100,000,000 records, 200GB of storage

That's tiny. Both of those easily fit in memory on modern hardware. This isn't cough web scale, this is peanuts.

The savings from having a simpler system that operates both transactional and the lack of disparate CASE/IF logic would win over this monstrosity of a design.

For a counterpoint where this type of model makes more sense check out Ubers data model[1]. Similar setup but more applicable use case and (without having any inside intel on it) I'd wager is justified.

LVM on top of dm-crypt with LUKS. Both swap and my btrfs root partition are in the LUKS volume. While that works fine, I wish it wasn't necessary to use LVM. Once btrfs supports encrypted drives, I'll be closer to not needing raw LUKS or LVM (hopefully btrfs would just use the dm-crypt kernel APIs). But encrypted swap is very important (your encryption key or other sensitive data could end up on a decrypted part of your disk after your laptop dies suddenly). So currently I'm SOL if I want to use a swap partition, maybe I should add a loopback device in btrfs that is non-cow?
Before you get downvoted it's worth highlighting that AMD's pre-release hype and cherry-picked "leaks" are notorious for being over optimistic, to put it generously. In any case I'm glad to see they're still trying to compete in the desktop space.

At 15000, you are making < 138% of the poverty line (https://aspe.hhs.gov/computations-2015-annual-update-hhs-pov...), and are eligible for medicaid, or large subsidies in other states. The details really matter here, and my sense (though I'm very open to correction) is that the people who the ACA is most burdensome for are high enough income that they qualify for smaller subsidies, but still can't afford healthcare.
That essay has a good grasp of why we want unicode, but completely missed the point of why we want emoticons. If I send an image to someone, I don't want it to be rendered in an unpredictable way based on their unknown system and font choices. I need to know that they see what I intended to send.

Everyone would be happier if they were embedded images; that's what we all want. They're shoehorned into unicode instead because that makes it technically easier to send them in text messages, not because they're textual objects.
It looks like Apple's plan is to enable something similar to Android's intent URIs:

"To work with Siri, the third-party apps will need some kind of search-query box that Siri could fill with the user’s verbal request once the app is accessed. It’s unclear what would happen if an iPhone or Apple Watch owner had multiple apps that did the same thing, like Uber and Lyft, and then asked Siri to “book me a ride home.” (Don’t bother asking Siri to book an Uber ride today; the results are typically terrible.)"

But that just brings you back to the original problem when some day someone builds a machine that has hardware support for popcount on multiple words.
Damages would only apply if the employee had the right to sell the shares, but did not have access to the accounts. If the company only withheld the accounts during the time when insiders were prohibited from selling, then there would be no decision for the employee to make.
It's frustrating for me that people seem to be trying to force everyone into the same UI patterns, regardless of the target audience's skill level and difficulty of problem. Novice users need different UI's than do advanced users, ditto people solving easy problems vs hard problems.

Michael Schumacher and your 15yr old new driver need very different UI's. The new driver needs a simple UI and lots of protection from making mistakes to solve the easier problem of getting from A to B without crashing. Mr Schumacher on the other hand needs a complicated UI and 0 hesitation in the implementation of his decisions to solve the much harder problem of breaking the world record at Monaco.

Determine who your audience is, and how hard the task they're attempting is, then implement the appropriate UI. Defenestrate anyone who tells you simple or complex, GUI or CLI is "inherently better" without considering the problem.

I disagree Australian culture would be devastated by mass immigration. Post WW2 immigrants and the Vietnamese boat people of the 70's form an important part of today's culture, even neglecting the almost entirely immigrant population (excepting the Aborigine first inhabitants of course).

I am torn trying to find a humane solution that does not cause further traffic, however.
Yeah, I've heard the praise. I tried to rally Gergo into porting the idea to GHC. (Using the new pluggable constraint solvers in GHC seems like the best bet.)

I still remember when I hadn't had any clue about functional programming, and I was moving from stuff like QBasic and C to Python. I thought dicts were awesome. And they are---by comparison to only having arrays.

Relations do everything dicts do, but you don't have to decide on the structure beforehand. Exactly the same argument that Codd had.

Smartwatches? The Pebble has been using e-paper from day one and Pebble Time introduced color support. I'm not sure whether the Pebble 2 & Pebble Time 2 currently on Kickstarter have improved on that further but the Pebble Time's 64 color display can be a bit meh depending on the lighting conditions (at least to me the backlight always seems a bit too blue outside of daylight, tinting the colours too much).
