The lecture slides are very good.

For anybody following along, there's 2 other books, Wrox Professional Cuda programming, and Cuda for Engineers, which would ease entry for those who aren't versed in HPC (PDE solvers, BLAS/LAPACK, Fourier transforms etc). The Storti/Yurtoglu book is the best intro i've seen to the topic, the Wrox book covers a lot of the material in Wilt's Handbook, not as exhaustively, but more up to date (Kepler vs Fermi).

Gödel showed that any system meeting a certain level of arithmetical complexity will have the property of either being incomplete or inconsistent.

The person I responded to said that SM was incomplete, but that must be the case, unless the model is self-contradictory (assuming it's not, as it would not qualify as a scientific theory if it were), or, the model must not have enough arithmetical complexity to fall under Gödel's rubric.
"consideration of any kind" would likely include giving the ISP a free server.

For that matter, there's nothing wrong with a CDN giving an ISP money to host a server on their network, if the balance of costs between the CDN and the ISP works out that way. An early-stage CDN or site-specific CDN might well have to do that to get started.

As far as i can tell this has no relation to moore's law. Moore's law currently suffer mostly due to:limits of manufacturing small things, and mostly because of energy consumption and delay of wires. Without solving those, it would be hard to offer big improvements.

Things like this is what was said when the gov't instituted 'welfare'.

"If their food and basic necessities are taken care of, they'll have more money to put towards housing and education to get out of the 'hood."

where does that money come from? where does it end?

a better idea (IMO): No taxes on the first $25k. That would be up to $25,000 tax free for everyone... high enough to help people in low-paying jobs, low enough for us not to care if someone games the system by make $24k and deferring $2k.

any arguments against?
It surprises me that you haven't heard of employers paying for extended benefits, since that is so commonly part of negotiated severance packages.

Many employees never negotiate these things, sadly, because organizations try to create a taboo about talking about what would happen if your tenure with them ever comes to an end. As a result, a lot of people are made to accept no severance at all, or extremely poor severance, like 3 months of salary, if any.

> But if your idea of preserving maximum internet freedom is in effect to place a loaded gun to its head and then declare it is not a problem because it is the good guys who control it and who therefore will use it only for good purposes, then you have what you want with utility-style regulation of the internet.

The problem is with an oligopoly of effectively 0-2 providers in the majority of the US you really don't have a choice.

I'd prefer to have the gun in the hand of the government instead of a corporation who decided to stop investing in infrastructure and just milk the situation.

You really need substantial competition (10+ providers) for the free market to function.

Amazon is known by third party FBA sellers for shipping out poorly packaged items. They then ding your seller account when your stuff arrives broke.

This doesn't surprise me in the least.

From the article:

“Amazon has a history of violating the Hazardous Materials Regulations,” the agency said in a news release. From February 2013 to September 2015, Amazon was found to have violated such regulations 24 times, the FAA said, adding that the agency would continue to investigate the company’s compliance with air safety regulations.

It might be the same problem, but it isn't the same thing. Who would the FCC fine?
I agree.

I have noticed a strange flip-flop over the last 30 years or so. While the most prominent in and out groups have changed, the folks who used to talk the most trash about outsiders are now much more reticent. Now many of the folks who used to complain about getting put down are now the ones (mostly in private, but many times in public) with all the trash talk, i.e., acting like they always thought all the other guys did. (This was never actually the case, though.)

I hear friends talking about their neighbors and community in terms I know for a fact are not reciprocated -- and it goes far beyond just condescending. It's a bitter, desolate, and spiteful thing. You'd think they were marooned living in a cave with Stone Age man, waiting for the next human sacrifice to occur.

Very strange. I wonder if they know how they sound to others? We need a name for these guys. "Redneck Liberals" comes to mind. Perhaps "Faux Progressives"
> What is the worth of "simple" if it is not "practical"?

I cannot speak for js8, but I think you took his or her statement of personal preferences as a statement of value. (That is, I think that the statement that he or she preferred a simple language was not the statement that it was 'worth' more in any abstract sense.) I imagine that everyone in this discussion would agree that 'simple' and 'practical' are different. I personally think that the lambda calculus is even simpler than the theory of Turing machines, and yet probably still less practical. I enjoy the theoretical beauty and austerity, and I imagine that js8 is in somewhat the same boat.

(For an extreme example of going the other direction, consider Perl, which is an eminently, even sometimes excessively, practical language, but which none among even its most ardent fans—and I am one!—would call simple.)
I've always liked the idea of a month of severance per year worked, starting at three months after the first year. Then again, that sort of deal doesn't always work, or fit the business.
YouTube video tutorials on niche tech topics.

that mirrors my experience w/depression prior to having it diagnosed. I knew something was up, and tried to self medicate in a number of ways, among which dieting, exercising and long term fasting was present. Everything seemed to help a bit, kind of mask the turmoil of the anxiety and panic that was going on, but eventually my 'nature' took over and I'd go back to feeling like doomsday's around the corner...

SSRI seems to have done the trick. Apparently we all produce "normal amounts" of serotonin, but with depressed folk like myself, the serotonin doesn't hang on the synapse long enough ...i.e. our specific biology depletes it faster.

Looking at my wider family, this condition is so pervasive ... and inherited, it's not even funny in all the ways it wreaked havoc on people's lives in many ways. Glad I caught a break.
How are those UK keys 'wrong'? Do you just mean you'd chose to put them somewhere else if you were designing a keyboard?

Exactly. I take my son there all the time to eat the chicken nuggets, apples, and choc milk. He plays on the playground and has a blast being social with other kids there. People just speak with the mobs instead of thinking, its absurd.
If you're referring to the new facial recognition system in iOS 10's Photos app, I believe they mentioned that the entire system would run locally on your own hardware. I took that to mean that they would not be sending anything, identifying or not, to Apple's servers.
The main problem is not that they cannot afford to have the baby but that they are not delivering it safely at the health clinics. Instead, they are delivering it with traditional birth attendants. This is especially a problem because it can increase the chances of the baby being born diseases like HIV, which has a 50% chance of leading to death within the first two years. The cost of a baby being born with HIV runs into many thousands of dollars.

Also, infant mortality has a strong correlation with the fertility rate, so trying to increase the probability of survival of babies can help reduce the number of babies being born (which addresses the problem you mentioned).
Heya. Other people have already replied with versions it fails on, but for completeness, I'm on Firefox 47.0 (package version: 47.0+build3-0ubuntu0.16.04.1) on Ubuntu 16.04.
I don't think many people realize just how difficult it is to start an ISP and compete. I started an ISP late last year (Shameless plug: https://nepafiber.com ), and I have a new found respect for ISP's. Don't get me wrong, I think most of them do an extremely shitty job at what they do. But starting one requires enormous sums of money. Furthermore, even though we hit profitability after our 4th month in business, raising money has extremely difficult because no one thinks we can weather the storm given how large and powerful other telecoms are.
For what it's worth, at a corporate level they have stopped that nearly entirely four years ago. [1]

If you look on the recent user comments they are mostly negative:
* high import taxes due to the wrong paperwork
* slow / unresponsive compared to promo video
* buggy software
* lack of customer support
* one complaint of bad battery life

But they did at least ship something so that alone makes it an above average kickstarter project.
I do :).
Block chains are one solution to this problem. They are open source data repositories. Currently, most block chain data is transactional in nature, covering transfers of currency from one account to another. As more distributed applications emerge that depend on block chain technology this may give rise to additional data sets.
By tech standards, this is an extremely generous severance. And, in the Bay Area, 3 months would be more than enough time for a young (under 30) person to find a job. Unfortunately, it may not be that way in Arizona, but that's not the CEO's fault.

I have to give the CEO credit. He's probably had to fight his CFO and board tooth and nail to get that package. I view it the same way that I view Obama's work on health care. Is it perfect? No. But it's better to compromise and get something done than to get nothing accomplished at all. What do you expect Sacks to do, stand up to his board, get fired, and then have everyone get nothing?

Most tech companies, when they lay people off, don't offer severance or even announce a layoff. They hide it as a "performance" based layoff or put in a stack-ranking system. Sacks is trying to do the most honorable thing that he can.

This is also a way for CEO Sacks to distance himself from the Y Combinator way of doing things. YC would advise him to do the standard sleazy startup thing. He's not doing that.
Yes, you, too, can end up in tech by chance, without any "privilege or luck"! You merely need to skip Econ recitations and Chinese club at Princeton so you can learn to code and join a startup.
I wish you could filter fonts based on writing style; take the letter a for instance; there can be so many was to represent the lowercase; to get complementary fonts; it would be nice to filter on those characteristics.

From what I understand from the conference is that facial recognition is done locally on device and not transmitted. They said that quite clearly.

There is probably some specifics I'm missing though, and it raises the question about how they identify others faces. I've not used the feature so I can't say. I'm guessing it's a manual tagging when the device can't find a match and then on device processing afterwards once the algorithm has learned.
And in doing so made something that doesn't work with the most recent browser on my phone. And breaks in a very annoying way.

In two cases such packages were with start-ups with less than 40 people, one with very little funding, one with a lot of funding. In another case it was a wealthy asset management company, and in another case it was a defense research lab.

In all cases, severance was never offered, but was immediately agreed to when I countered the original offer and asked. Support for on-going insurance has varied, and the specific amounts have varied, but I can say for sure I would reject a company immediately if they were unwilling to offer more than 3 months of severance pay in addition to extended support for, at the very least, on-going health insurance.
That would be perfect! Awesome comment.
why do you not? it's a very strongly ingrained part of human nature, and a lot of civilisation depends on it. in particular, the whole notion of a social contract would likely collapse if no one cared what other people thought; neither empathy nor game-theory-style rationality are strong enough as universal motivating factors.

Hate to break it to you, but from what I've been told by anyone that went to US: Non-US McDonald's food is way way WAY better than what you get in US McDonald's... Also, this comment really rubbed me the wrong way. I'd say extreme superiority complex with a side of slight ignorance
To russians first McDonald's in Moscow was like Berlin wall falling to germans. It was complete antithesis of the Soviet Union.
Doesn't matter. What will be full in 99% of the cases will be the Comcast connection to $content_provider. In many cases an entire metro area will have no spare capacity between any of the major backbone providers and Comcast, so there is almost nothing you can do if you do not have the capability to route that traffic to a different region. This is why many times you will see "scenic routes" when on Comcast - it's providers routing traffic around Comcast's regional congestion in many cases.

While this happens with many providers, Comcast is about the worst offender. They are quite happy to allow peering links to remain full at peak indefinitely - it's a way to put pressure on the content networks to pay for access to their routes over a private peering session. If you're a major web hosting operation, your customers will demand great performance to Comcast. They don't really care that Comcast is strong-arming paid peering agreements via those demands. It's especially awesome because Comcast generally charges more for bits to their tiny portion of the Internet, than what you pay for bits to a major backbone for the full table.
I've also noticed a disturbing trend with pseudo on-call availability, even on the weekends, labelled as "flexible working hours".

Then there's always the "unlimited time off, we trust you".

> You really need substantial competition (10+ providers) for the free market to function.

This is the most salient point. I would completely agree with OP (and I am generally in favor of fewer regulations) were we all able to choose our providers.
We're totally going to do it.
I think it comes from a more collectivist mindset. To an individualist, this seems pretty foreign. I think it goes something like "If you're able to do lots of stuff for yourself, you should have to do something for your less able neighbors as well". The danger is as pointed out, if the burden becomes too high or feels to intrusive, you'll get "well screw it then, I'll just be like everyone else".
David Sacks

* takes responsibility for the situation.

* admits that he's laying people off, rather than disguising it as performance-based firing.

* offers a severance that is generous by tech standards, and

* allows people whose roles have changed to escape with severance and their reputation intact.

This is very much not the Y Combinator way of doing things. Are we sure that Zenefits was once YC?

I'll go even further: it's a big industry. Companies of all size and sophistication buy advertising in huge amounts.

You have some players who have honed their advertising strategy for years to try to get the biggest bang for their buck- and they're willing to pay to have professionals work out how to hone it further.

You also have unheard-of locals who have pinstriped sales reps telling them about how much money they're going to make if they buy this billboard or phone book page, and agencies paying big bucks to get the pinstripiest, salesiest representatives to the right suckers as efficiently as possible.

Then there's everything in-between for all the people who are in way over their heads but want to at least imitate the ones who are doing it right.
And who ensures that it stays there for the next centuries?
Well today I learned. Thanks!
I agree with this comparison but Navicat is well worth the price. I use their data backup and synchronization (data and/or structure) all the time and it works extremely well. The "find in database" text search is a life saver too.
There are some rather clever and simple options for energy storage - like sending an electrically driven train up a few miles of inclined track - http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/infrastructure/a1...

That said, for reliable baseline energy, you're not going to beat nuclear for a while. Modern nuclear "waste" is usable as fuel in Breeder type reactors (LFTR, Traveling Wave reactors) and the waste from those is containable with modern technology.
>Can you give a source for that

I guess it depends on how strict you are with your definition of a depressant, but looking at this list:

http://www.webmd.com/drugs/condition-1022-depression.aspx

If you establish a depressant <-> stimulant axis, the major drugs here are very much on the depressant side. As for their effectiveness, depressants generally feature a euphoric, "feel good" component. From there it's easy to see how some members of this class might be helpful against depression. It seems paradoxical that you might be worsening the lethargic aspect, but basically the treatment concentrates on the negative mood, loss of pleasure aspect, which appears to be a more effective way of approaching the problem (if you take for granted that chemicals are a good approach at all).
Of course the text recognition system in the Newton (actually a trio of products working together under the hood: Rosetta, Mondello, and CalliGrapher) got to be good enough that many consider them to be among the best out there, even today. (And it's not hard to find traces of Rosetta even in modern macOS.) Newton folks were pretty good sports, and someone converted the "Eat Up Martha" Simpsons clip to display on later Newtons in 16 shade grayscale and it was pretty widely distributed, and the Doonesbury jibe about "Egg Freckles" ended up as an easter egg in the device itself.
