The market is not capable of seeing into the far future, because nothing is capable of seeing into the far future.

This is not mere wordplay. It's a vital component to understanding how the world works.

After all, remember what article this is that we're commenting on; a discovery of a potentially new significant source of helium. After you've fiddled with the market because you know it's making helium too cheap, how are you going to feel after something like this comes up five years later, having made medical treatments and other such things more expensive only for it to turn out that your sure and certain knowledge of the situation was wrong?

The "time value of money" is actually directly related to the fact that uncertainty compounds exponentially. Future money is worth less because you're that much less certain that you'll even have the money, or what you can spend it on. But the point about uncertainty goes beyond just money. There's a reason why "five year plan" is a joke for people educated in history.

>all Skype calls automatically revert to HFP (extremely bad quality)

While it's true that audio quality over HFP is a lot worse than A2DP, note that A2DP is designed for cases where latency is not an issue, you want stereo audio, and there is no microphone audio to carry the other way. (i.e., designed to listen to music)

If you want low latency mono-audio to the headset + microphone audio back to the host, there is no choice except to use HFP.

Note that if your headset (and your host device) supports HFP1.6, then it should support wideband speech/HD voice and the difference should not be so drastic.
>Whereas I don't get a say but the exact same treatment from your country.

The NSA works with the 5 eyes to gather data on you. If you want to stop the NSA from spying on you, vote in your democratic country to remove yourselves from our intelligence agreements.

It doesn't necessarily mean the NSA won't spy on you, but it does mean it will be technically illegal for them to do so, so they probably won't do it unless they actually care about you.
Losses to space is the reason we have relatively so little but in absolute terms that's still a huge amount. Helium makes up 5 millionths of the atmosphere.

EDIT: Thanks for the correction.

>Does it help the pedagogy and understanding? Does it help form equations that match the form of other equations in some mathematically-meaningful way?

Absolutely! In 3D systems. Particularly using spherical coordinates.

It's ironic you chose Maxwell's Equations as your example because Sigma would get rid of those pesky factors of 4pi appearing in them when written in Gaussian units!

Besides, Maxwell's Equations are really best represented as just one equation when expressed in covariant form.
Curiously, that happens already. Simulations are run on battles before they are fought until a winning tactic is found.
i totally suck at math, however i think i know what is a circle, i can draw one with a compas. then i think i know what is the diameter of this circle, i can draw it by drawing two more circles and a line with a ruler. because a mathematician told me that the product of this diameter by a number is the circumference of the first circle i believe him, but if another mathematician ask me to draw two more circles and another line to define the same circumference... i will probably believe that the first one suck less than the second one at maths! (sorry for my english!).
I appreciate charity and I am convinced there is not enough of it (philanthropy isn't enough and often misses the point of helping others which is not self-glorification, but the death of ego). However, some things bothered me about this article.

First, the article is rather vacuous and chaotic in content, and so the motive for writing the article shifts toward drawing attention to oneself ("Oh, look how charitable I am!"). Charity doesn't do that. Second, the article seems to reinforce the condescending/patronizing attitude Americans often have toward immigrants when they're not busy hating them. The attitude consists in thinking that immigrants come from backward, horrible, uncivilized places and that the American is the noble, better educated, civilized, great benefactor. There is pleasure in the delusional superiority. (White upper middle class college students also have a rite of passage known as peace corp or a semester abroad in Africa, but I digress.) Third, if you're paying $60 for a laptop, just pay for it yourself. Getting people to chip in for a 10 year old, $60 brick just looks really cheap. It's not much of a sacrifice, guy. If you're going to have people chip in, at least have the courtesy to buy them a more recent piece of technology. There are better ways of integrating the family into the community. Fourth, and perhaps the most minor of my points, there is a waft of Linux ideology in the air (this related to first point).
And Ludicrous Speed makes Speed of Dark look slow.
You're saying Americans are the only people in the world who care about themselves? Other countries are full of purely rational actors who attach no emotional value to their own abilities? Have you ever met a real person outside of America?

You're right about the bikeshedness, but that doesn't mean there isn't a clearly better bike shed design. I also find that these sorts of inefficiencies/inelegances compound. One or two are trivial, but when you have 30 of them, suddenly the mental tax becomes noticeable.

Furthermore, the cost falls mostly on the students, while the experts have already paid it and don't see the need to worry about it anymore.
Reminds me of a humorous saying I read somewhere. Roughly: Move to the U.S., because the only thing worse than living there is being subjected to its foreign policy.
Laravel I believe matches most criteria above. Symfony would be a second choice.

The driven factor though is community. This is key. No matter how good your framework is if there is no community behind it to create, innovate, talk about it and so on.

Worked with Zend framework 2, which I believe is a great PHP framework, but the community is stagnant. We often have to create modules (libraries) for things most frameworks already had (ie, Symfony).
Nobody that loses a virtual war is going to give up and let the other side take what they want without a very violent fight.

This rules out Symfony and Laravel which are imho the only sane options in php.

Why do you need this requirement ?
BSD license, not GPL.
No, but if you want to play the US electoral game, those are your options.
Seems like the FCC disagrees with you, which is why exclusive agreements are not technically allowed. As the article points out, property owners and incumbent ISPs have found ways to get around this rule by simply not signing with anyone else. Oreo cookies are not a critical information and communication system, so the government doesn't need to regulate decisions regarding flavor options on these delicious snacks.
But nobody has any skin in the game that way.

Sadly, Vonnegut quotes David Irving's "The Destruction of Dresden" as a source for the number of dead (extremely inflated over other sources). Sadly because although Vonnegut didn't know it at the time, Irving was a Holocaust denier who wanted to rehabilitate the reputation of the Nazis by showing them to be no worse than the Allies.
I love the idea of putting affordable housing in the vast parking lots of these old megastores, prompting new businesses to set up shop in the abandoned space to service the new community. Seems like a win-win.

Keep at it and don't give up! My guess is you're trying to interview at better companies that have difficult hiring processes and that's great. You improve at interviewing as you go along. Make sure you study/practice as many hours per day as you can manage.

I got lucky with that comp package since I had been an intern the previous summer and they wanted me back - gave me a lot of room to negotiate.
Thanks, I'll keep that.

"glivenko cantelli on steroids", good. Sounds like they actually did something.

Yes, I'm torqued by the new learning labels on old bottles of pure/applied math, but that is not in my way.

> The lingo differs here and there: estimating parameters become learning parameters etc.

Rubs my fur the wrong way.

borrowing from Breiman, okay.

What's "in my way" now is my startup: I've got the math derived and typed into TeX and the 80,000 lines of typing for the code, with the code running, intended for production, and in alpha test, so just for now I no longer have any pressing math problems to solve.

But, in time, I may return to my math and tweak it a little to try to get some variance reduction. Maybe some of the better machine learning literature would help, or maybe I'll just derive it myself again.

Function space geometry is about where much of my core math is.

Thanks.
Masaki Kobayashi made a couple of subversive films in the 1960's that present a very dark view of Samurai culture. These films [1][2] are excellent. [1] in particular is exquisite (and tied for the Jury Special Prize at Cannes in 1963).

Some rules can be derived from instrumenting humans as they perform the maneuvers, and generalizing from their behavior? We used to instrument motorcycle riders at Harley Davidson and create fuzzy-logic models of expert riders as they performed certain acts on a track (dodging road hazard; emergency stop; hairpin turn). Our goal was also a fuzzy-logic driver model, which they used to help design new motorcycle suspensions/steering that would feel 'natural' to an expert rider e.g. mesh well with the model they had for an expert.
Do they? I also share the same feeling as GP. On one of our projects we have made the decision to use the Angular framework and I do regret that choice now.

> zero-copy parallel parsing of html,

zero copy yes, parallel I don't know

We do selector matching in parallel (parsing is probably serial?), layout in parallel, and offload almost all of the rendering work onto the GPU.

Not sure what you mean by "in-going data duplication". We try to be zero-copy when we can, and share as much as possible. Rust helps here; because you are free to try and share things without worrying if they will go out of scope too early, and the compiler will tell you if your guess was wrong.
Have you tried writing a complex wep app/api with C#? It's an absolute joy to use. Python still has it beat for math and ML libraries, but for getting up a quick web app with robust (and easy) data queries (LINQ) it's pretty unbeatable.
This is explicitly lampshaded in TFA.

> You're saying Americans are the only people in the world who care about themselves?

No, I'm saying that only Americans are so conditioned to value their "self esteem". There is no emphasis on this stupidity in the other cultures.

It's all about the emphasis: http://faculty.washington.edu/jdb/articles/Cai%20et%20al.%20...
I'm not sure if you're meta-trolling me by doing the exact thing I'm agitating against (i.e., dishonest selective quoting, flippant dismissiveness, dialectical rigidity), but I'll take the most generous interpretation and just assume you're short on time and haven't fully internalized the point.

We're beyond the point of 'just' downvoting and 'moving on'. Sometimes some needs to take a stand against moronification. I'm not volunteering to be that person and maybe my original reply wasn't even in that category, but not speaking up (and let's face it, downvoting doesn't count) lets this sort of thing fester on. At the risk of beaten an old cliche'd horse - "first they came for xyz [...] and then there was nobody to speak up left" etc. etc. I don't mind the occasional post calling out utter rhetorical garbage; if only to affirm that there are people left who don't mind debate as long as it's done in honesty and in an informed way, rather than 'I have a [deity-given|natural] right to shout whatever springs into my head at everybody else'. If someone were to gauge opinion from online discourse, they'd have no alternative but to conclude that there is nobody left who can hold an opinion that is more complicated than 'THIS ME LIKE' or 'THIS ME HATE, MUST SMASH'.

"If you make a comment make it a substantial one."

That's rather ironic coming from someone who with two dismissive one-sentence posts ignores a whole complex point being made - a point that, while it may not be 'novel', is certainly contrary to the majority's concept of 'democracy' and 'fairness'.
I suppose to some extent this is a matter of taste, but I've usually found the streams api to be clearer and easier to understand, although perhaps there's a bit of a learning curve. I think the win is especially large in cases where you replace an anonymous inner class with a lambda, imho. At my previous job, we had all gotten quite familiar with Apache's CollectionUtils, but java8 almost obviates the need for that entirely.
BMX racer here.

First three pedals are the only ones that count. All we ever, ever do is accelerate from a dead stop and cut people off at the 30ft line. I'm running front-specific rims front and rear to cut weight, and it's working.

This may not be applicable to cycling at large, but it's extremely important for BMX racing.
Good point. However, nothing about these agreements makes anything fundamentally cheaper, it's just shuffling money around. In the best case, the kickbacks reduce rent, people's internet bills increase, and they pay the same. If the internet is cheaper because it's slow, then it could be cheaper and slower anywhere.

Since none of this fundamentally cuts costs, you end up with a zero-sum game. There are four basic possibilities: either the ISP miscalculates and loses more money on kickbacks than they gain from renters, the landlord miscalculates and loses more money in rent than they gain from kickbacks, the renters miscalculate and lose more money on their internet bill (or lose more value due to having crappy internet) than they gain in rent savings, or everything manages to balance out perfectly and this is just a bunch of wasted effort. Since the renters are by far the party with the least information and the least ability to analyze the situation, it's highly likely that they're the ones who end up being screwed.
I don't think we used the same barbaric methods. Terrorists have the intention of killing any nearby civilian , even if they are non government or military most of the time they play their attacks.
Companies that do this don't require you to check out the world, that would be craziness. Perforce allows for partial mappings and is used by pretty much all the big companies. Even Microsoft's internal source depot is just a fork of perforce.

Dependencies are usually handled by a binary import/export system where you pull modules from a shared "build the world" system from a known checkpoint.
But it worked on Star Trek!
As someone with positive experience in Ruby on Rails, I would choose (and have chosen) Laravel. Specifically version 5.1 which is the current LTS release.

It does not have a CMS module nor an ecommerce add on as far as I'm aware, but depending on the complexity of your requirements they might not be difficult to do yourself (eg just a few pages of editable content with a few wysiwyg editors here and there, and a straightforward shopping cart / checkout experience using Stripe for payment).

If you absolutely need plugins for all the things in your list, I think Symfony is probably your best bet -- but it is less of a cohesive framework than Laravel, so you'll be mixing and matching things and doing a bit more work on your end (but possibly worth the tradeoff).
How do you see anything as credible evidence unless you saw it yourself? HuffPo is a (reasonbly) credible new source that links to The Intercept that built its articles from the Drone Papers. I didn't go independently verify every fact in every article that contributed to the previous one I linked to.

Here. Is that sufficient, or would you like video evidence of every drone strike along with complete bios on everyone killed including family member testimonies about their selection for assassination?

Do you feel like you should be able to make any nonsensical argument you want and people should take that as fact/proof? The idea that static type systems are better to use (in general) because you can make dynamic type systems on top of them is simply not something you can just say and then have taken as fact.

Also, I should add, I think you lost the "this is childish call" when, two posts into this thread, you made assumptions about everyone saying dynamic typing was useful (they obviously are not on your level, amirite?).

You started this thread off by saying empirical evidence of which is better for practical use is almost impossible to get. You then proceeded to argue your position as fact, knowing that you had no evidence to support it. If you want to present your opinion as fact, then feel free to find actual facts to support it.

Get over yourself.
It's more like the pipe operator in ocaml (http://blog.shaynefletcher.org/2013/12/pipelining-with-opera...). The lisp version has the extra advantage that you don't have to repeat it between all the intermediate functions. ((->> 2 (* 100) str count) vs 2 |> (* 100) |> str |> count).

The hashmap in GoDS is actually implemented using the go's native map, so there probably aren't any major differences. You just access map's methods in more OOP-like fashin (separate methods for Put, Get... instead of map[key]=value and value,find=map[key]...)
thats a huge part of why this is so attractive.

Great article. Another good way we've had this explained is: if someone is in a burning building, you are the option of jumping out of the window.. There may be a 95% chance they will die, but they're in so much pain that they'll make the jump (even though they normally never would).

Do you think this is more geared for entry strategy (getting the tip of the spear in)? In an ideal world, you could find something where building a small quantum converges with solving this degree of pain.. though of course the stars do not always align that easily...
That's weird, I have a Pebble and the bluetooth is absolutely solid, even across my house.

I've never had a good experience with desktops and bluetooth devices however.

I wonder why drivers are so much better on mobile?
Nope. Chicago suburbs, actually. But that's how long the buses take out here in the suburbs, and how long it's taken me in downtown Chicago before. I don't go on the buses that often, and this is one reason why.

The buses can have 20-40 stops in those 4 miles, mind you. I don't mean it's all due to traffic.
From the article, they have a fancy system that doesn't require you to actually have the whole repo mirrored locally.

This really, really depends on how much you make. Maybe it wouldn't be a problem for us, but I know many people who can't afford to drop $60 on something like that out of the blue.
I weigh 165 pounds / 75 kg and I do this on a fairly large roadbike (I'm 6'1.5" / 187 cm). Are you slightly overfilling your tires? Say 90 PSI if the wheels are marked for 80? I found that really helps. But I do still get pinches fairly regularly.
Now if only we could get the losing party to accept the outcome of their simulations too and to capitulate.

In practice, the losing party as often as not will try to inflict as much damage on the victor as they can, and more often than not what starts as a battle ends up being a long term occupation and that's when all simulations seem to break down.

Battles are 'easy', long term planning is not.
Sure, that happens. But it is a very different situation from the one where AMT (in the US, other jurisdictions have similar issues) makes it financially impossible to exercise your options.
As a functional programmer (Haskell, Erlang) I can honestly say that after years of FP I think differently about how to describe the intent of my code. It's more difficult for me to understand a foreach loop with mutable state than a foldLeft.
We went after the terrorists who perpetrated 911 because they killed innocent civilians.

We have killed many innocent civilians in the process. That is indefensible, no matter our goals.
JavaScript: A simple way to extend from modules without exposing private members
The function which makes it possible:

var mod = (function() {
var varname = '__props__', modules = {},

evil = function(object, code) {
return eval.call(object, code);
};

return {
define: function(name, mod) {
modules[name] = (typeof(mod) == 'function') ? mod() : mod;
},
extend: function(object) {
evil(object, 'var ' + varname + ' = {}');

var props = evil(object, varname),
i, mod, prop;
for (i = 1; i < arguments.length; i++) {
var mod = modules[arguments[i]];
for (prop in mod) {
props[prop] = mod[prop];
evil(object, 'var ' + prop + ' = ' + varname + '.' + prop);
}
}

evil(object, varname + ' = undefined');
}
};
}());

Example of how to use it:

mod.define('Counter', function() {
var step = 3;
return {
counter: 0,
increment: function() {
return counter += step;
},
reset: function() {
counter = 0;
}
};
});

var Test = (function() {
mod.extend(this, 'Counter');
return {
incr: increment,
reset: reset
};
}());

console.log(Test.incr()); // 3
console.log(Test.incr()); // 6
console.log(Test.incr()); // 9
console.log(Test.reset()); // undefined
console.log(Test.incr()); // 3
console.log(Test.incr()); // 6
console.log(Test.step); // undefined
console.log(Test.counter); // undefined
