Thirty something here. The stories aren't spam since they don't trigger notifications and you have to intentionally click on them to watch. When i'm not feeling social I ignore snapchat, when i am, i know i can check in and see what my friends are doing.
I really think that this isn't the place to be playing rhetorical games. I think discussions would be much simpler and clearer if people state their points clearly and unambiguously.
I think it's by design. They're already doing well without the discovery and the lack of discovery is probably one of the key reasons why people like it. Snapchat is more about keeping in touch with people they really care about than some DJ Khaled. In fact a lot of people who first started following DJ Khaled just to see what the hype is all about don't really care anymore, and probably increasingly so as more people start using Snapchat.
I recall seeing a coroutine library for C that did exactly this using preprocessor magic.

Would you say the same about any other causal relationship? Are there any implications of it that don't perpetuate the idea that women are intellectually inferior? That don't shift the burdens of emotional labor and child rearing onto children? The idea is so obviously sexist...
I think you are on to something.
I did it.

Would I recommend it? No, probably not.

I learned a lot. It was interesting and FUN. It has little to no practical application for me re-entering the workforce.

I ended up not going back to "work" but instead became a "consultant". Pay is great, hours are great, the bullshit is epic. As a result of "time off" and my "new lifestyle" I find myself NEEDING to start my own company & product at 40 with kids to support.

I can suggest doing it for ONE month with some assumptions:

* You don't stay at home

* You don't go someplace so exotic that you get distracted, think "cabin in the woods" or "house at the beach"

* You have a plan for what your going to TRY to do/learn

* That your partner is cool with you dumping the kids on them for 6 hours a day (study/work time) for at least 1/2 the week.

* That you can personally work "where ever, when ever" and your partner is OK with that as well. I know lots of folks that need a "bubble" to be productive, or who's relationship doesn't allow them to work that way.

Could we be missing something fundamental in our understanding of the world? Like when nobody knew radioactivity until 20th century and until then it was all green-glowing magic deep down in the mines?

Currently the paradigm of our epoch is to look at everything as a computing problem. Before it was hydraulics, then electricity etc. Maybe in 100 years our successors will be dealing with a more complete picture and their children will be laughing at schools that we thought consciousness was related to computing?
Not really a problem. NVIDIA sells cards based around 32-bit (and now increasingly, 16-bit) ALUs for desktop usage, while offering more expensive ones with more 64-bit-focused ALUs for workstations and compute. Compute is important enough to their bottom line to justify it.

The real problem is that NVIDIA has compute locked down with CUDA. Mobile chipset vendors can't expand into compute if they're barred from entry at the API level.
> Women are the de-facto consumers of housework - the party most likely to care if it's done or not.

Bachelor pads have a reputation for a reason. Introducing a woman into a dwelling tends to reveal a host of categories of housework that must be done that were previously entirely unknown, and at enormously higher frequency than ever conceived by the bachelor.

Then again, many men (myself included...) would probably be alright if we were allowed to still live in a cave and curl up at night with a flea-ridden aurochs pelt...
You might want to re-read your dictionary. Violence has included non-physical force for very many years, very much longer than the Internet has been in existence.

http://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/youthviolence/definiti...

> Interpersonal violence is defined as "the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against another person or against a group or community that results in or has a high likelihood of resulting in injury, death, psychological harm, maldevelopment, or deprivation."

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/16

> The term “crime of violence” means—

> (a) an offense that has as an element the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against the person or prop­erty of another, or

Threats of violence are by definition violence.

There's also the write call that succeeds as soon as it can write a single byte, regardless of the byte count passed in.

For example, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_(system_call)#POSIX_us... warns "The write function returns the number of bytes successfully written into the array, which may at times be less than the specified nbytes"

Yet, the example following it (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_(system_call)#Usage_Ex...) doesn't handle that case or error codes such as EINTR.

I remember reading a text describing how to properly use that call, but cannot find it anymore. Faulty examples like the one above are easy to find, though. For example, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14417806/are-posix-read-a... and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10650861/atomicity-of-wri... are good questions, but no answer points out that, even if write were atomic, it would not do you any good, as you may have to call it multiple times.

It probably is not that difficult, but I think it would take me a day to wrap this function in something that doesn't explode in your face, and be confident that I did it correctly, and even then, I would wake up in bed wondering whether I handled all edge cases correctly.

> they may reduce the gross pay the employer is willing to offer, but that doesn't make them "a lie", it just means they have other effects

The effect (minimum wage employees not withstanding) is the same as if the entire tax was employee-share. It is coming out of the worker's pocket. Therefore the 'employer' part is a lie and mostly an ingenious way to hide the tax from the voting base (because unlike other taxes, it does not show up on your pay stub or tax return).

That said it's true that you need to take both these things into account in order to make an apples-to-apples comparison between self-employment income and a given W2 job. But that goes both ways, a $10.33/h job with unpaid time off is the same thing as a $10/h job with 'paid' time off and you have no reason to prefer the latter.

I'm curious where you thought I was focused on unsupervised learning?

I suppose I should have stated better that I was talking more broadly, however the discussion about hand training being what holds the discipline back I think implies that unsupervised learning is the key.

Perhaps I misunderstood your writing, but I think there is a nuance there that isn't well discussed.

Holy shit, you were laughing for 28 minutes straight. Are you alright?
Nobody is disputing that Twitter can do whatever it wants, in fact that's exactly the point that (GG)GP is making - why should Twitter have a responsibility to anyone to do anything about hate speech on its site?

The author of the linked article argues that Twitter has a responsibility to censor hate speech, which GP disputed, because Twitter can do whatever the hell it wants. You're arguing that Twitter does not have a responsibility to not censor hate speech, which nobody disputed, because Twitter can do whatever the hell it wants.

You're arguing with the wind again.

Both of these are incorrect.

You can search for hashtags, users, and locations on Instagram, both on mobile and desktop now.

If clicking to browse a hashtag is considered "searching", I could see this.

Instagram also aggressively bans nudity and other reported terms violations.

OK, I see. Your implementation sounds a little like how "make -j" is actually implemented (in C).
This basically sounds like implementing a semaphore with a pipe.

http://make.mad-scientist.net/papers/jobserver-implementatio...

"""
Rather than using complex schemes such as a central server, shared memory, sockets, etc. for synchronizing the various instances of make, he suggested we use the simplest, most basic UNIX construct: a pipe. Not only is this easy, but it’s also a relatively portable concept. Most operating systems these days implement some sort of pipe feature, because that paradigm is so useful.

The idea is ingeniously simple: the initial, top-level make creates a pipe and writes N one-byte tokens into the pipe. That pipe is shared between that make and all submakes, and any time any make wants to run a job it first has to read a token from the pipe. Once the job is complete, it writes the token back to the pipe. Since there are only N tokens, you know that you will never invoke more than N jobs.

J.C.R. Licklider, father of the Internet, thought analogy tests were a strong indication of intelligence. Hoeflin's difficult IQ tests also used analogies, but it actually now seems like a bad way to measure intelligence in a multicultural setting (for example "Jekyll : Hyde :: Eloi : ?" is a particularly pointless test of having "read" two particular mainstream books in English.)

Excerptification, as you describe it, sounds like a game of analogies. AI is not far from solving this kind of problem, as long as it is expressed symbolically.

Here's a paper discussing one AGI system, implemented in Haskell, that might be appropriate for work with analogy problems that require "imagination" as well as raw "perception":

Precisely. I just want equality of opportunity, that people are free to do what they want, not necessarily that the choices are a perfect 50/50 coin toss. However, since we posit that there are no inherent biological mental differences between sexes then some people contend that if the split is not 50/50 then there is still discrimination.
I'm neither white nor a white nationalist, but the way I understand it is that white nationalism seeks to preserve an arbitrary trait known as "whiteness".

In other words, they feel that the white "race" as a whole is being genocided because of race mixing. Some feel that there is an international conspiracy of Jews orchestrating this white genocide. If you try to disagree with them, they will reply that you are either a shill or "JIDF" which stands for "Jewish Internet Defense Force". It's not a very homogenous group though, so I try not to generalize them and keep an open mind. Empirically, I will say that there are studies showing working class (blue collar) white youths are worse off economically than black youths, which could explain the rise of this political philosophy.
The difference is that police, at least in theory, do not default to "kill any males 16 or older in the target area".
Great story. Congratulations. This part...

"except I have 100% equity and don't have to worry about searching for a way to become profitable or running out of money since the second I decide to stop reinvesting everything into growth the company will instantly be extremely profitable."

...is the grand finale that comes with VC-less businesses. :)
So I would say - kind of. But at it's root, the mechanisms are based on having a social network of people touching, talking, playing etc... that does the training - though it might not look the same.

A perfect example I use all the time which is much later in development but relevant, is when a 1.5 year old will point at something and ask if it's a [thing]. The initial training was people segmenting (holding, moving different ways) classifying (calling it [thing], asking for [thing], telling the subject it is [thing]), which was then reinforced/weighted by asking if [thing] was indeed [thing].

So it doesn't look like explicit training, but it follows all the same steps.

> at least for a large class of Americans

The vast majority of Americans can't (and shouldn't) start companies. The risk far outweighs the reward. Even those who can afford to start companies overwhelmingly fail.

Starting a company is a luxury of those with lots of cash or lots of connections (or both). You read articles about teenagers getting VC, but that's a very small minority of the people who get funded.
Did you have anything more to add to that, like any pointing toward something else, or was it just internet snark?
It's a very different process challenging credit-card-funded payments vs. those funded by bank account or funds already in the Paypal account. The former is easy, and you have two levels of challenge (via Paypal and via the credit card issuer).
but what if the challenge was not 2 chars but 3 (d, e, f)?

I use Twitter to connect, meet, and talk to other devs. Maybe it's similar to "tracking celebrities" but it's been a boon to my career and learning (with moderate use, of course).
Any reason for that? I mean, it's anecdotal evidence, sure, but it's not the first time I've heard such a story about how men are treated in the teaching profession. It's only one data point, but even a single data point is superior to the no data points you've countered with.
The corollary follows from the first part because of the nature/nurture dichotomy. It's either biological, or sociological. If you presume it's not the former, unless we have evidence thereof, we must presume it's the latter. What else could it be?

Also, what is acceptable for proving a causal relationship in a statistical sense is not coextensive with what's academically honest. In the real world people have to make decisions and set policies based on imperfect information. Requiring premises underlying those policies to be proven with scientific certainty before condoning political action just establishes a default policy of preserving the status quo.
The only problem after this is somebody who gets criticized then pulls the race/ethnic/religion card and suddenly we're all supposed to then set our sights on ruining the life a person being critical, for whatever reason, subjectively insulting or not. Then again who would EVER hide behind their so called protected class, play victim to hurt others. Oh wait, It only happens every day.

We even see it on here. Mods have a hard job, BUT they also are subjective when it comes to who they claim is ranting off topic vs those making profound points.

The founding fathers knew all of this quite well, which is why we have "Congress shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech"

Private companies can do all they want to make a safe space, but then we usher in the era of the whirlpool of 'hurt feelings' == physical violence. Which really just weakens people, it robs them of their own capability. And as a result of this safe spaces are really just illusions. By trying to cleanse they actually become impure.

Oh well. I'll be for whatever platform supplants the draconian ones. It will be the selling points.
I'm not making a value judgement on the merits of the case... what I'm saying is they failed to defend themselves adequately.

This was a winnable case and if they had done a better job we wouldn't be having this conversation.
Does that meet your definition of "supervised training"?

I think as a second layer, yes.

To your original statement though, being alone is the same as no-one teaching them to talk.

Adults, and other children, in fact teach infants to talk. It might not seem explicit (though there are very explicit programs for infant language development) but in fact it works the same way. See my other comment about object segmentation and classification.
Elon Musk believes we are living in a computer simulation
I was curious about the variance in the design you mentioned, reading the comment again, I got more of what you meant. So this is something unique to all Japanese bikes and has been something of a mainstay? At first read through, I mistakenly got the idea this was some new innovation. But now I get what you were saying about how these companies are vertically integrated much like Apple, so all components of the product can be more tightly integrated.

So what would you say the main advantages here are? The bike can perform better in terms of handling because all parts are designed to work most effectively with the others?

How much does the engine shape/design vary with Japanese bikes compared to bikes of other origins? Different attachment points with the engine to the other components?

Do you know of any pictures of a Japanese bike without the body shell/faring on it, or just the bare frame?

Quick Edit:

Do you have any opinion on what you think the best Japanese touring and/or dual sport bikes are?
The problem with making it toggleable is that a lot of people are going to flip that switch by accident, no matter how deep you bury it (even if you bury it in the registry only, someone will write spyware to flip it so that the computer becomes exploitable at a future date).

Most non-game software works on WINE, or, worst case, within a virtual machine. At Windows scale, your software must permanently operate in idiot-proof mode. If you don't need that protection, I believe you should use a different OS as your primary.

Women tend to prefer men that are higher status than themselves. For a working woman (especially one in tech that earns alot) they tend find partners who are also employed.

This makes a dichotomy where if a man makes $100k+ in most places in the US, they can one-income support a family. Where as women tend not to look favorably to men who take time off of to stay at home.

Women's desire for high status men is something that comes to us from being primates. It's at best a mixture of nature and society. Even if we had a radically egalitarian society, there is a part of many couples that would be unsettled by it.

All that said, there is nothing about that should stop women from pursuing careers in tech. Of all work, ours is one that is really friendly to working remotely and with flexible hours.
my ISP Cox, had server failure for several hours about 2 weeks ago. It was a DNS issue as well. I don't want to take 2 unrelated things and call them similar, but one has to imagine if some of the above posters are substantiated several huge players losing peering/connectivity and 2 very large ISPs having non-trivial multi-hour multi-region DNS outages is bad. Horrible coincidence.

I have been losing google docs intermittenly all day (and I have been working nearly exclusively in google docs all day) maybe just me, but I have been unable to upload photos (same one as yesterday to gdocs) and from drive/docs dash I would lose connectivity and have sever lag loading up a doc I just worked in. Had to close browser several times.
I agree that there are a bunch of ways he could do this. What I don't agree is that any of those other ways are inherently more moral. The morality of an action is independent of the legal structure erected around that action. You might prefer a non-profit or some other structure that doesn't make it easy for Thiel to hide his involvement, but the reality is that none of that matters morally (or legally, really). Bad actions don't become good because a non-profit manages them and good actions don't become bad when they are performed by private citizens.

Your ideas about non-profits being "less wrong" are just incorrect. Privacy and secrecy are not immoral things. A non-profit structure would be more transparent but that doesn't make it "less wrong". Secrecy can hide bad actions but can also make possible good ones. e.g. An ex-con (or at the more extreme end, a Nazi) who wants to donate to cancer research might have his public donation rejected on moral grounds. The donation is moral even if the person has engaged in other immoral acts. A secret donation is therefore more moral in this case because it is more likely to be accepted. More immediately relevant, Thiel's public backing of the suit might have made a win less likely, meaning that if funding the suit is moral, funding it privately was the more effective and therefore more moral option.

So what's the difference between hate speech and clever razzing on people? Not really anything actually. Criticizing somebody for being the stereotype isn't a bad thing in a culture necessarily either. People familiar with one another can criticize each other using the exact same words, but then a stranger pops in and it's time to light torches and throw him over a cliff.

This is all bad news. A general platform for everyone should really be as open as possible. Also a really important point, there's no more corrupt law making entity than the EU. These are a small group of people not consulting the associated countries one bit. So a pet project suddenly gets Twitter turned into a sissy nightmare.
The goings on at the port will have an impact on the price, and that's what the traders care about.

Lets say there's some problem at a port (bad weather, labor strike, whatever) that causes delays in the delivery of (other people's) oil, traders are still going to be interested because it will push up the price, even though if they're not taking delivery from that particular ship.
- It is fine to strip both debug information and symbol table if you want the distributable (I mentioned the ISP at the beginning for one reason) and the program does not rely on them in any way. Actually, I wonder why separate debug files [1] are not a norm in Unixes.

- `-Wl,--gc-sections` does have an effect even at the absence of `-ffunction-sections` (and so on) because libc and libstdc++ is already compiled in the way allowing for GC---perhaps necessarily. The example had a single function anyway and I was lazy enough to exploit that `-ffunction-sections` wouldn't have a difference...
