The point is to ensure that all tasks are periodically handed off to someone else - i.e., when you're off, the task doesn't wait for you to do it when you get back, a designated replacement has to do it.

It has the following benefits:

* if hiding something requires certain "adjustments" to periodical reports, then having someone else do it would often expose it - the particular rogue trader case, we was falsifying control documents, if someone else would do it a single time, then it would have been detected.

* if a particular customer or portfolio has problems that should have been escalated but haven't; having someone else handle them independently during your vacation would often expose it.

* if you suddenly need to replace someone, because they leave, die or get fired, you have a good understanding on what needs to be handed off, how to do it, and have some people who have done this before. It ensures, so to speak, that you don't have an absurdly low "bus-factor".

In addition, since it's not a one-off event but a policy, it acts as a preventive measure to do things in a manner that can be handed off, because they will have to be handed off, and a preventive measure for fraud because you have an expectation that you will get found out instead of knowing that you are the sole keeper of some information and can "adjust" it as needed.

The discussions about Google (et al) tracking show a strikingly similar pattern to discussions about clandestine government surveillance: a fairly even split between people saying "that's not what they're doing" (they only listen to explicitly triggered searches), "it's appalling that they're doing this" (it's a privacy breach) and "we've known they're doing this for years" (how else would they have such good speech recognition).

It's important to remember that the company's shares are traded on a public market.

The shares distributed by the company are valuable and can be sold for the same amount of money as the dividend you could have received.

The key fact that the article ignores is that the shareholders collectively own the company. So if they all decline the dividend, they are effectively electing for the company they own to hold the cash (that they own by owning the company).
I take melatonin every day, and I find my ideal time to take it is about an hour before bed. I take a small dose (1mg), which seems plenty, and in fact in the past I took half of that. People vary. You can buy tablets with ridiculously large doses, and I definitely would not recommend taking those regularly.
If you've ever worked as a cleaner you'll appreciate what tobacco smoke, foods cooked in Indian style, people not venting their rooms (hello mold) can do to the furnishings, walls and ceilings. Maybe if your environment is turning a deep ocher, it isn't healthy to live in it. I am completely unsurprised if the people who live in them die younger.

People with wealth probably imagine themselves immune to the problem as they have a cleaning staff but that is not true either. They need to watch out with new cars and new houses. These should be ideally left alone for up to six months so the off gassing of paints, lacquers, chaulking can happen and also the dust level from construction can die down.
For me, dependency and increased expectations. If I have to take drugs to succeed, then I'm stuck taking drugs throughout my career.

The earlier in a career, the worse of a problem this is. Which is why I think doing this as a student to enhance academic performance is a particularly bad idea. You're in school to prove to yourself and others what you're capable of. Doing so with drugs that you're not willing to take for the rest of your life is only lying to yourself.

If drivers can walk away from the lease after 30 days (well, 44 to be precise), I see no problem with this offer. These drivers represent an extreme risk.

They just need to understand that the Uber lease should be treated as a short-term program.

https://get.uber.com/cl/xchange/ mentions pre-owned vehicles in addition to new ones.

"Vehicles requirements for Xchange Leasing program:

2009 or newer
75,000 or less miles
no salvage, rebuilt or flood vehicle titles
4 full-sized doors
minimum of 5 seatbelts (driver and 4 passengers)
maximum amount financed $20,000 (subject to change)"

I would get the least expensive vehicle through Xchange, drive it to save about $3000, buy an Uber-qualified used vehicle, and enjoy life.

I absolutely agree, all those negative comments sound like rants from grumpy old guys. I have worked in HPC distributed storage and the problems the CoreOS people are trying to solve is a valid and present one: deploying flexible distributed storage today is an absolute pain.

Plus all the arguments about local storage failure being hard are moot because this is a distributed solution and the hardship of local storage reliability can be abstracted away almost completely.
I looked at that, but:
* AMD no ECC, nor a similar chip with it. Intel has a Xeon E3 which is basically core as the 6700 with ECC enabled. Doesn't hurt that it's cheaper as well.
* AMD had 70% of the throughput, but much less on anything single threaded. So many normal UI apps like say web browsing are slower.
* the AMD solution runs hotter, so you need to either tolerate more noise or pay more for case/fans/power supplies
* My use case includes running 24/7 so burning extra watts (and running the AC to cool them) adds up.

After considering it all I went with the E3-1230v5. Near 6700k multicore performance, near 6700k single thread performance, max 80 watt TDP, and idles much lower. I also get a M.2 slot which allows pretty amazing performance (well above SATA) and a tiny footprint (gum stick or so).

I don't buy systems often though, the machine it's replacing is a quad core 3.0 GHz machines (Q6600) with 8GB ram from 2007. So I don't mind spending a bit more if it's going to last. Hopefully with 32GB ram this new machine will last quite a while.

My understanding of what people looking for de-dup want is for their backup store to contain zero files with identical contents. With rsnapshot, if you rename a file, rename a parent directory of it, or move the file to another directory, you will get another copy of that file in your backup.

I've used rsnapshot for about ten years, mainly to make remote backups of data on SMB/AFP file servers, and something I had to actively discourage was staff using the moving of files/folders between higher level folders as a method of project management. One group in particular does video production so a project between yesterday and today might have only a change of a few bytes but because the project's folder was moved to a different parent folder (e.g. Completed/), rsnapshot would make a new complete backup of that project which could be tens of gigs. Filesystem snapshots like ZFS's avoid this problem but I haven't worked with how those are copied remotely.

For perspective, I just timed (not very well) how long it takes windows to run the c-program "exit": "int main() { return 0; }", compiled with gcc 4.8.1, -O3 -std=c11 -Wall, stripped[1]. From a warm disc cache it takes ~3ms. From cold(er) it takes ~19s.

Taking a 50x hit to run "exit" from a container doesn't sound bad, but it doesn't sound all that far fetched either.

Can anyone recommend a good resource that summarises what the different algorithms are best suited for aimed at novices?

I've been working my way through http://neuralnetworksanddeeplearning.com/ (with a big detour back into maths thanks to the Khan Academy) and have done a few ML courses, but they mainly cover a couple of algorithms, not all the ones available in spark's MLLib or tensorflow for example.
This framework is getting posted everywhere and it's not even really responsive. I saw this junk on Reddit too. People were defending it saying it had mobile and desktop sizes. What?
There isn't any incentive sadly. Uber drivers absolutely hate taking long trips for this reason. Considering the extreme traffic issues, it typically takes 13-14 hours of driving to complete 15 rides. If a single user wants to go to the airport (50km away from city centre in Bangalore), it becomes difficult to hit that quota no matter how hard they try. They can't cancel a trip to the airport either, because if they cancel more than one trip in a day they lose the 15-ride incentive. So if they get an airport ride and they're short on time to hit the incentive, they request the user to cancel.

The strategy I've seen in response to this incentive scheme is to work 4 14-hour days, ensuring that they hit the incentive no matter what. The money made off the actual ride is peanuts ($1/ride, maybe) so they absolutely need to finish 15 rides to get $75. Working 4 days a week, 16 days a month nets the driver $1200/month. Which is an incredible income by Indian standards considering most graduates from good colleges make a lot less.

That is a factor for the length of the shift, but not the total amount - where I live, when there are professions that for various reasons need 24 or 12 hour shifts running continuously, the standard way to do that is "1 on / 3 off" continuous schedule which comes out to an average 42 hour work week. I.e., either you work for a full 24 hour shift and then have three days off; or you have a 12 hour shift every other day, no matter what day of week it is.

It has some advantages and disadvantages compared to normal work schedule (essentially, less commute but many of weekends/holidays away from family), but you can definitely live with that.

However, having 12 hour shifts every day? Just hire two employees then, because you have enough work that requires two full employees.

Two realistic options, one is pocketsphinx, the other Kaldi. When running on a Pi, pocketsphinx will be your only realistic option for realtime detection. You'll want to move to a RaspPi 3 as well, and you'll want to use a customized dictionary to try and get your recognition speed up. Lastly, there are several parameters you can tweak that'll affect recognition speed.

Raw processing power will be the bottleneck on a Raspberry Pi.
Yeah I think the legacy interop is the tricky part, see "Why does C# use UTF-16 for strings?" (http://blog.coverity.com/2014/04/09/why-utf-16/#.V1AT9vkguUl) for example.

Interestingly enough Java just implemented compact strings that can be ISO-8859-1/Latin-1 (one byte per character) or as UTF-16 (two bytes per character). See http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/254 and https://www.infoq.com/news/2016/02/compact-strings-Java-JDK9 for more info.
Another mega comment: don't know why this isn't more upvoted. Thanks for the bug report.

Level 8 is odd. You thought more diffraction would occur with slower speed right? In the simulation it doesn't; bounce off the left wall and hit the grating fast to complete. I have to admit this bothers me. I can only assume this is because sidebands which would otherwise hit the grating itself move inwards to hit the 2% targets or something. Not good at all from a learning point of view.

Yes, the arrow keys impose a linear potential gradient while they are being held. It fades in gradually as well so no sharp transients (unless you differentiate). Not sure if that detail was required but it's there now.

The interference effects during motion are not wall reflections as far as I can tell. Some levels such as the traps don't have walls but (imperfect) absorbers and they exhibit it just as much. You're right, it's easy to see why this occurs in the rainbow mode but not so much in the amplitude mode. Genuine physics or artifact of simulation - presumably somebody can do some calculus and work that one out!

Decoherence, I acknowledge should involve multiple quantum particles. What we do see here though is an evolution from a single particle with coherent phase, which interferes with itself, into one with incoherent phase, that doesn't. Conceptually that seems similar to decoherence.

I think all your pedagogical points are good ones btw.

Like I said to evanb, if you would like to be acknowledged for your review I'm more than happy to. Best wishes.
Not sure which one(s) though

There's only one "amphetamines". There is a specific molecule (and its enantiomer) called " amphetamine". There are some other amphetamine-class drugs like methamphetamine (crystal meth) and MDMA (ecstasy). Methylphenidate (Ritalin) isn't even an amphetamine-class drug.
Kaldi does this, but it's a lot harder than pocketsphinx to get running.
The only way to really stay caught up is to read the papers that are being released (NIPS, ICML, ICLR, CPVR, etc). If you use a course or guide, then you're behind by definition. If you're okay with being a little behind, then the Deep Learning courses for NLP or Computer Vision are both excellent. NYU also has similar courses. You can also try following some major Deep Learning people on Facebook/Twitter as they post about the new stuff daily. People to follow: Lecun, Lawrence, Bengio, Cho, Karpathy, just to name a few. Interested to hear others ideas on how to stay up to date.

The shares are basically the a piece of the company. By issuing new shares it automatically depreciates the value of each share, so the company is worth the same but you own a smaller share of the company. You can end up in a grey area between two situations.

1. Everyone takes cash and you get the expected share price

2. Everyone takes shares and the value expected is halved

I learnt BSL (British Sign Language) with my then girlfriend whilst at uni. We used it to chat in the library, talk to each other across the room anywhere it was too busy or inappropriate to shout - very useful.

Given the access to information nowadays i imagine people would be more likely to learn an established sign language due to its wider use. That said we developed our own simplified signs for BSL to communicate with our babies, which quickly became adapted by them, so even this way I feel slangs would develop readily.
> ADHD is a diagnosed medical disorder that affects millions of people in America.

4.4% of Americans are supposed to have ADHD (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16585449). One starts to wonder if all those people really are suffering from a medical disorder, or if it is just a character trait. I would say a disorder is something which makes it difficult or impossible to function in life. Is that the case for 4.4% of the Americans? How would their ancestors have been surviving for all those thousands of years before Ritalin had been invented?

There are more and more people who have a different view on ADHD: that it has both its bad and its good sides, and that focusing on the good sides of ADHD is the way to deal with it, rather than trying to suppress the symptoms with medicine. See for instance http://www.forbes.com/sites/dalearcher/2014/05/14/adhd-the-e...
TeamViewer Users Claim Accounts Hacked, Service Goes Offline with Server Issues
I disagree that a. is true. When I have read DL papers I have been very aware that there is not enough detail to replicate exactly what was done. I often come away with the feeling of just being given the gist of what was done. I think this is a combination of papers that are too short, and possibly researchers wanting to maintain competitive advantage.
What the author ignored, is that when dividends are issued, the value of stock (almost) always goes down by exactly the value of the dividend on the ex-dividend date.
Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently: sandra@peloton.com

sandra@peloton-tech.com seems to work fine.
This article is slightly misleading. It says "Under basic contract law, a gift cannot be enforced."

The promise of a gift cannot be enforced. But, once a gift is delivered and accepted, it cannot be taken back.

If Developer Dan offers his software for free, to use as you wish, no strings attached AND you download and use it (clearly "delivered and accepted") he cannot decide later you can't use his software.

He could decide later he wants to stop giving it away (to new people). But even in that scenario, YOU have a reasonable argument that YOU are entitled give his software away to anyone you wish.

Indeed as kijin states, the drive itself is full disk encrypted using LUKS, and SSH takes care of encrypting everything during transport.

I did not require de-dupe but did only want to transmit only the diffs since last back up. I also wanted a something that would be of minimal resource usage on remote end (for rsnapshot was just running an rsync daemon if I recall correctly). In the case of one Ruby library I looked at, the entire system needed to be installed on each remote host to work correctly, which was unacceptable in my scenario.

Primarily, it just feels like a solid tool and seems like it can be adapted to suit a lot of use cases (I have seen a config to allow backup of AWS RDS instances for instance).
If your tool is copying a huge directory. It's half-way done and then a file changes in the half not yet copied (as well as a file in the half you did copy). Now your directory is in an inconsistent state: the "snapshot" doesn't show a valid state of the directory at any point in time. Unfortunately the only way to practically fix this is to have a filesystem that supports snapshots (luckily you have btrfs, which does). In addition, btrfs send-recieve sends deltas of a transaction history so you have very little storage and network overhead as a result (and snapshots are actually even cheaper than how rsync uses hard links because rather than having a hard link for every file you essentially have a "hard link" to the state of the filesystem at that time (the transaction)).
Issuing dividends also depreciates the value of each share as well. (By exactly the total amount of the dividend / total number of shares.)
In this case the new shares are distributed to the existing shareholders, so they won't be diluted unless they want (and given that some will opt for the cash, those who don't will end up owning a larger percentage of the company).
