"limo" may be a reference to what is sometimes called a black car -- a scheduled livery service -- and not what we generally think of as a large limousine. Still, though, most people don't use those either.
Does anyone have any adderall or vyvanse for sale?
Limo can just mean black Town Car.
Generally, to the theist, terms like "moral" or "ought" are tightly coupled with the Nature of God (or "God's Commands", etc). More often than not, those terms actually refer explicitly to God's Nature or commands.

On that understanding, this phrase is true: "Objective morality cannot exist if theism is false." Or in other words.. "God's Nature cannot exist, if theism is false."

Duh. So what?

A moral-realist atheist is generally going to rely on some (theorized) universally shared value/desire as the starting point for a moral framework. To such a person, moral statements take the form, "Since you value you X, you should do Y" (where Y is the optimal way to reach the desired state of affairs, X).

There's no is-ought problem when moral statements have that form, there's only the problem of demonstrating or proving that such universal shared values/desires exist at all.
>What are the "other learning algorithms" ?

SVMs, AdaBoost & co, random forests - just to name a few popular ones.

>Neural nets are universal function approximators. There isnt something they can't learn.

Which types of functions you can approximate has nothing to do with being able to "learn everything". Simple neural nets are a great illustration of this point. Networks that can theoretically approximate the target function can easily overfit or oscillate if not set up properly.

In other words, the ability to approximate is the property of your model, while the ability to learn things is the property of your training algorithm.
I was beginning to think the database scene was dire until he showed off esqueleto. Query composition is a huge deal in the non-trivial python webapps I've worked on.

As an outsider being exposed for the first time, this use of Template Haskell seems pretty unnecessary and the code it generated looked pretty nuts.
For what it's worth, in production Demandware is much better than Websphere Commerce Server. WCS could very well be cleaner in some universe, but the heavily-customized (thanks IBM) versions that run in actual enterprise retailers are hellish.

I worked with a team which put together a complete ecommerce site using mostly their standard http APIs in a couple of months, and unlike the WCS deployment I dealt with, Demandware was usually working. We did run into plenty of bugs, but the account manager got them resolved in short order.

I would agree that, assuming no other context, Demandware is awful. In the context of its competitors, it feels like a breath of fresh air.
But have you tried using amphetamines while working? Perhaps you don't know what you're really capable of. I know people that are fine, happy, productive. But on speed, they are amazed at how much more capable they are.

Apart from psychosis or heart issues, why should anyone settle for being less powerful?

There is more to that than precomputed data, sometimes a network can point out mappings that were not thought of beforehand. Humans copy what works, we spend ~25 years perfecting that ability.
In "I was exhausted", it seems to me that the word "exhausted" is an adjective, and it's a simple past tense statement not different than saying, "I was sad."
Currently the charts only show counts that have 15 or greater results which is why part-time isn't showing. The table below the charts allow you to filter/search by part-time though. I will add a notation to the page that indicates the 15 count min.

I can group some of the different types together but after digging through the raw data I saw that there are a ton of different edge cases. I didn't feel comfortable implying anything because of this.

"Addionally, we're creating an open political and economic process, with a small, fixed-price public presale of Urbit address space."

Why does an "open political and economic process" require (or even allow) a "pre-sale of address space" by a central authority?

I'm prescribed Adderall. While being treated for depression my doctor identified it as something that might be helpful for me.

Contrary to the sentiment that these medications are just some kind of super energy drink, I find regular therapeutic use actually leads to less work hours and reduced stress for me.

As I understand it, Mobileye is the player to beat in this space. They're doing hardware that is specific to the task at hand and, IIRC, they include a good chunk of the software as well. Buying back the talent behind OpenCV would allow them to easily compete in this space.
SEEKING WORK Leicester, United Kingdom and Remote

I'm mostly a back-end guy, currently working on distributed Go services running on AWS. I have a very strong mathematical background along with a constantly growing set of tools in my belt. Seeking interesting opportunities and problems to solve, and interesting people to do it with.

With kNN, if you have enough data and a good definition of "distance", then yes, it is in a way similar to "deep learning", just deep in the sense that's data and human-labor intensive.

I'm oversimplifying here, but what linear regression and logistic regression did to kNN is that you can automate the "distance" function, but you still have to manually construct the features. What DL did is one step further -- don't even bother feature-engineering, the network can construct the features themselves.

You see, there isn't a function that kNN can't approximate. If you have an impressive feature list and a training datum that has every feature exactly the same as your input, there is no reason not to directly use the output of said datum. It's the feasibility that matters.

Of course, DL is a huge step forward. It has made "impossible things possible, and hard things easy". The author also acknowledged DL's importance. However, that doesn't mean we should stop at DL.
Very cool! I really like your "Rankings and movers" section and your compare feature is really nice. I was little surprised to see Python at the top and that a lot of companies are open to remote.

Oh no! I will put in a fix for that. Thanks for pointing it out.
I interned as an orthodontic assistant before entering the software engineering field. Dental school admissions are highly competitive, require several years of additional schooling, and will place the student in hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt. My anecdote follows.

The orthodontist I worked for put in serious hours well beyond many of the "crunch time" horror stories we hear in tech, typically arriving at her practice at 5:30am and leaving at 8pm (prepping the office, working on orthodontic appliances, case studies, paperwork), and working Saturdays as a part time Dean at the local dental school.

There were also state mandated continuing education requirements, the occasional emergency call, lawsuit, delinquent payments, marketing and sales for her practice, the occasional sales call from a vendor rolling out "Smart Brackets", and the need to manage 10+ employees and maintain professional relationships with other dental medicine practitioners for referrals and covering sick days.

She was incredibly driven and competitive, probably an outlier, but was also certainly a multimillionaire and an accomplished dentist.

The marketplace of ideas means you don't get to dictate what others find relevant.

For some, this means that they don't want to be professionally or socially associated with someone who thinks some ethnic groups make genetically good slaves. People can vigorously discuss whether his writings crossed lines of acceptable behavior.

However, you're also free to discuss the technical details as much as you want! If that's what's relevant to you, that's perfectly acceptable as well, and it doesn't require you to defend his other writings.

Aren't we simply storing the precomputed result of human-devised feature extraction algorithms?

Yes they can run unsupervised, and yes they run for multiple iterations. But they are written by humans for extracting features from data, not much different than, say, PageRank 20 years ago iterating to approximate the "popularity" of a page on the web.

This AI doesn't see a problem and come up with an algorithm to solve it. It uses algorithms written by humans to accomplish goals set by humans. Nearly all AI today is still simply a preprogrammed machine.

What I am saying, though, is that humans + a system becomes smarter than a single human over time because we find ways to express "what works" in such a manner that a massively parallel computing platform can then find a better answer, faster and more consistently. That's it. This is the algorithm written by humans and collectively refined by humans banging away at a platform.

And why open source would be better than the profit motive when it comes to drugs.
Startup Grind | Senior Front End Engineer | US/Canada REMOTE (or onsite in Redwood City, CA)

Startup Grind is supporting, connecting and educating entrepreneurs worldwide. We are looking to bring on a senior front end engineer to help us build the tools to make our local groups successful and the global community tick. We would love to talk with experienced software craftspeople who know what it’s like to work on large software applications in startups and distributed teams. Apart from a strong grasp of HTML, CSS and JS, experience with modern JavaScript frameworks (we use React) would be very helpful.

If this sounds interesting please reach out to abendig at startupgrind dot com.

> hid the true value of the company

Boy, that's certainly a can of worms. Is someone who builds up a great company with low equity, then intentionally runs it badly to lower the share price, acquires more shares, and then runs it well again, guilty of something? Or is that just how incentives work—they felt like they needed more investment in the business before they could give their all to it?

Thank you. I was on the fence about commenting because I did not want to invite trolls to comment. What the poster above is going through is very normal when hiring (more so when hiring programmers). Lord knows I've often felt very frustrated with the process. Ultimately, it forces you to grow as a lead.
I wonder how well these decision systems stack against random suggestions? I notice it feels like I fixate on the few people or subjects that are regularly presented to me to the exclusion of everyone else.
This is awesome. We're rolling out a bunch of production apps using C* and having some difficulty in monitoring all the right things without Ops Center. We're getting there, but this looks like a shortcut to some stuff we put off as too difficult to do immediately.

One thing I've never figured out about air purification is how to keep air both particle-free, and oxygenated. I don't want to seal all my doors and windows to run an air purifier—I immediately feel suffocated by the CO2 buildup from my own breathing. Is there a best of both worlds?
Back in March, Intel bought a company by the name of Replay[0]. Replay used what they called "freeD" which uses 28 cameras around a sporting arena to capture a "bullet-time" style image. It takes some time to stitch this image together, but they can then use this image to fly around a player in the TV broadcast.

I could see this system using OpenCV to help decide what info is important in the image.

If you're trying to avoid making your email public via GitHub, you should also ensure:

1) "Public email" is set to "Don't show my email address" under https://github.com/settings/profile

2) "Keep my email address private" is checked under https://github.com/settings/emails

It's frustrating that these are still two separate options - worse still that I believe I had the first option set when the second was added, unchecked by default, resulting in me leaking my email about a year ago. The spambots had it anyways, so I guess it wasn't that big a deal... and hey, maybe they added a warning someplace like I suggested?
Without speaking on the GP's behalf, perhaps the leverage in a particular strategy represented by investing directly in the company made the risk worthwhile whereas the more diversified, risk-averse but lower-leverage investment represented by BRK/B was not?

This pisses me off to no end. When I disable something like web browsing history because I get a nagging feeling that Google knows more about me than it should.

Then on the way out of work I try an "OK Google. Directions home"[0] to get a time estimate or best route estimate and it tells me I have to turn on browser history to continue or some other such bs. I wonder when Google Now will understand "Ok google. F?!k you Google."

Fair enough. I agree with everything you just said here. Thank you.
I think you have to start somewhere. Since you can't build an extensive light rail/subway network over night.

So, I hope Los Angeles will continue to extend it.
Certainly not always. Even mentioning Visual Basic, Perl, Lisp, or .NET around these parts tends to work like a sort of bat signal for similar comments/memes. And that's in a forum where a lot of the people who visit code. Imagine a place where you have different interests mixed in.

By the way, I will say it: I like .NET. My first paying job was in Visual Basic / C#. Used to spend nights writing Perl. Lisp is not special, but it is powerful.
The biggest benefit over StatusPage.io is that our platform's design focuses on automation through integrations with third parties. StatusPage.io pages can only be automated through their direct integration with PagerDuty, or by parsing email notifications (from services like New Relic or Pingdom). We have the ability to add countless integrations with third parties for both monitoring and notifications.

Branding is important for companies, so we've chosen to offer complete white-labeling on our single plan. We leverage Let's Encrypt so that status pages can be instantly configured to use a secure custom domain.

These are just a few of the key differences, our features section outlines these and more.

> Being taken care of is security. They are completely different concepts.

They are different, but closely related. The lack of security, health and life drastically reduce your choices. It is meaningless to have the right to make a choice, if the means and abilities to make that choice is inaccessible to you.

We can not give everyone the means and ability to be able to make every choice, but that does not mean there are not certain choices that are so basic that they are essential if we are to not make a mockery of claiming to want to ensure liberty.

> Also, if someone else is forced to provide for the other person they definitely don't have liberty, they are basically a slave to another person.

I would fuly support your ability to "secede", so to speak, from society. As long as you then were to accept that society can choose not to deal with you, as forcing rest of society to deal with you would equally deprive them of liberty, and as long as you control no more than an even proportion of land and other scarce resources.

Ultimately, if you truly want to maximise liberty for yourself as well as others, it means choosing to give up some of your own to integrate into wider society.

> A basic income system like that proposed by Georgists,Geo-Libertarians, and I think Thomas Paine (Agrarian Justice) is compatible with both left and right libertarian views.

It's compatible with some left libertarian views. More widely, it is compatible with the views of many left libertarians that even so see it as undesirable because it's basically a repeat of Bismark's "state socialism": Bismark created the first relatively modern welfare system explicitly as an attempt at pulling the rug from under the revolutionary movements in Germany at the time (at the same time as he outlawed dozens of parties and newspapers). His goal was to reduce the appetite for revolution, to prevent the socialists from going much further.

Basic income, similarly, is a half-assed measure at guaranteeing a bare minimum in the face of mounting fears that automation will in the coming years sooner or later make demands for larger reforms grow stronger (basically we're seeing mounting fears that Marx description of end-stage capitalism was correct when he assumed that capitalists will essentially run out of new markets to expand into and find that ultimately their only way of driving down prices is to drive down employment costs, and thus at the same time reduce their markets).

As such, it is "compatible" in the sense that it is - subject to issues about provisioning of scarce resources, such as healthcare provisioning - not worse than most current systems. But it is also not all that much better.

This is the reason why you tend to see far more support for basic income coming out of classical liberal groups than left libertarian / socialist groups.
I use melatonin to recover from jet lag. It's not to _get_ to sleep, it's to stay asleep when my body normally thinks it should be getting up.

If you can find one, I'd recommend* an S+ by ResMed. It uses radar to track your sleep and can discern what phase of sleep you're in. It tracks how long it takes you to go to sleep and can offer specific hints to address issues you might be having. The app hasn't been kept up to date, but if you've got an older iOS 8.x device you're not going to upgrade that would pair well with it.

*Disclaimer: I worked at ResMed on the S+. I no longer work at ResMed but I still like my S+.
I know what point you're trying to make, but taxis are explicitly not public transit. Busses, trains, planes, ferries, etc., are all public transit, regardless of whether they are publicly or privately owned. For-hire taxis, coaches, limousines, private jets, etc., are all private transport.
