If you have to pay more than you would to normally commute, they should compensate you for the travel expenses.

Personally when a company goes through the effort of organizing an interview (especially with travel) and I get there and some amount of chaos/disorganization is apparent I get extremely cautious and is a big red flag for me. Nothing like flying across the country (paid for) to arrive and have the person I'm interviewing with change and leave me waiting in the lobby 30 minutes.

Well for one thing without them we wouldn't have Penguin diagrams! (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penguin_diagram)
I love being outdoors, but a lawn hardly counts. If I want to go outside, I'll go outside - to a park, the arboretum, the beach, up to the mountains, across the mountains to the desert - somewhere interesting. I'll never be wealthy enough to own enough of the outdoors to make it matter.

I have a nice back porch with a grill and a picnic table, and there's a deck way out back with a firepit and some benches and some garden beds, but most of the back yard is gravel and I use it as a parking lot. It's really useful, living in a big city, to have a place off the street to store vehicles.

I also have a front yard, which is a total waste of space. It looks ugly unless I waste lots of time doing repetitive maintenance work, and nobody ever spends any time there because it's all exposed on a busy street. I'd rather rip it all out and have some kind of native plants jungle, but that takes time and money I haven't been able to spend on it yet. I'd be just as happy if the front yard didn't exist and my house fronted directly on the sidewalk.

If I wanted to play badminton or read on a lawn chair I would just go to one of the parks within a few blocks' walk. There's no reason for me to own that land.
Thanks for the feedback, I think it is the same for me and English :)

I'm unsurprised. People flag things that will get political quickly, and this is a topic that will bring in political arguments like moths to a flame.

There's a growing number of users, but they aren't centrally collected. I've actually thought about creating a "Who uses rump kernels" page, but haven't gotten around to it. No better time than now to do that:

Dawkins Famous Idea Turns 40
I'm planning my TH, feel free to ask any questions!
I'm struck by how very dissimilar each successive "match" in the video is. If this is a neural network that makes matches based on video, how on earth is it picking matches from completely different training videos for every subsequent impact? It might happen if the training videos only contained a single impact sample, but that's not the case here, the paper says each training video has 48 actions.

I can totally understand if the authors wanted to make sure it doesn't pick the exact same sample multiple times in a row and penalized duplicates, but I don't see any mention of that in the paper, and even if they did, I'd expect to see subsequent matches from the same training video, rather than picks from completely different videos.
Nobody here is able to prevent you from using Forbes or other similar sites. So, your analogy is way off base and that's why it sounds ridiculous to you.

This is actually a very good piece of advice that holds true in all sorts of conversations. If you attempt to argue the other side of an argument, and find it completely ludicrous? You don't understand the other side. Instead of arguing, ask questions.

I only wish that I could follow my own advice!
In general, at the optimization IR level of any decent compiler or JIT, most straight-line code gets reduced into some form of expression DAG for common subexpression elimination and other similar optimizations, meaning that

var x = a + b;
call(x + c);

and

call(a + b + c);

would be literally indistinguishable.

First of all: I was not saying that this is necessarily the best choice, or that I endorse Remain or Leave.

I was just trying to explain what - from what I read so far - seems the most probable strategy for the next months.

Also, while the economic results of the Leave might be exaggerated (as part of the same strategy I was explaining) do you think that Leave supporters have properly considered the risks of splintering UK (Scotland, Northern Ireland and possibly Wales deciding to get independence)?
I had no idea that Nordic Food Lab had a blog. Really fascinating!
Your point is taken, I just take issue with the article perpetuating such a stereotype. I'm a developer, I have a degree in literature and write a ton. And the article says nothing about developers not writing good prose, just not liking to write prose period. The intersection between anything and good writers is pretty slim, to be honest. The author just supposes that developers don't like writing prose. Which is silly. At least in my opinion.

Indirectly right. Those numbers are the scaling dimensions of the field operators. (Rescale your ruler by a factor f, and the fields will get multiplied by f to the scaling dimension.) These numbers are fixed by requiring that the kinetic energy density transform correctly under scaling. The form of the kinetic energy, in turn, depends on the spin of the field quanta (i.e., the particles).
Heinlein's attitude towards citizenship in Starship Troopers very much reminded me of the attitude of the Prussian society regarding proper membership. In that mindset, only military discipline and a readiness for sacrifice formed a proper human being who would be a worthwhile member of society. This attitude can be seen as the Achilles' heel of humanism: every human is equal until you decide that some people just aren't human enough. I believe that this is how a country once championing humanism could take enlightenment (rationalization) and industrialization to such horrible conclusions.

Whenever considering a separation between full citizen and not-yet citizen, please keep this in mind.

I keep seeing this point of view around IT communities, and I think it shows how out of touch most people are with the average user capabilities, or just being pedantic.

AV software isn't there to prevent ingenious hackers to take control of random computers. Yes, it actually might create more surface for that purpose.

It exists because most users do not have any understanding of the platform, and will just click on "accept", "yes" and "ok" hoping things will turn out well. AV are pretty decent at mitigating that. At the cost of some performance loss, you'll avoid having a bunch of ads and popups take over your computer, or at least mitigate the phenomenon.

It's been described accurately as the 'greatest act of defiance against the establishment since the coming of universal suffrage' so that is not surprising. But crazy?
Cameron initially went to the EU for reform and with that changing aspects of the EU for all members. That not only did not happen and still needed but he in effect got palmed of with a special deal to appease the UK. But his initial remit and outline was to seek reform of the EU, not some special UK only back-hander.

UK leaving EU now and EU still in need of reform and currently they seem to still be going in the wrong direction and widening public discontent with them across Europe. The whole ignoring the people over companies as case of no individual wants TTIP, not one I have met. THis and any concerns are demonised and labeled so they can be dismissed, has driven the EU to become unpopular with an ever increasing populus it purports to serve.

AS for the media, well in todays times politics panders to the media and has changed in a way that is not nice too see and no offence to America, politics in Europe has become more American. more about how you look and come across more than the content of the words.

But when democracy for the people revolves around binary choices and an X in a box every 4-5 years from a limited choice then you have to wonder if that needs reform as people are afforded more of a say democratically in talent shows upon TV than political elections.

But like the plane industry the UK kind of stepped back in so many area's of space after WW2 due to the amount of debt incurred in that time.
Is my reading of this law correct? It sounds like it outlaws all use of algorithms to evaluate people. The right to explanation is just for the rare exceptions where a "member state" authorizes it. But the legalese is difficult to parse, and no one else seems to get this impression.

I think this is really bad. That's the majority of uses of machine learning. It also has a lot of economic value to predict things like how likely someone is to pay back a loan, or even who is a spammer.

Most importantly, most these applications will go back to human judgement. And humans are far worse. Human predictions about candidates are really bad. We are incredibly biased by things like race, gender, and especially attractiveness. Unattractive people get twice the sentences of attractive people. Not to mention random stuff, like people being judged more harshly when the judge is hungry before lunch. They also rarely give explanations for their decisions, if they are even aware of the true reasons for them.

Going back to humans is a huge step backwards and will hurt a lot more people than it helps. I think the same regulations that apply to algorithms, should apply to humans. That would show the absurdity of these laws. But humans are algorithms after all. And particularly bad ones (for this purpose anyway.)
How often does this update?
it seems to me that cryptographic integrity checks and backups would suffice, but … maybe not?

To me the three scariest words in engineering are "common mode failure". I personally never buy more than one hard disk at a time, so that I'll hopefully avoid something like both haven been shaken too much in their shipping container (the best explanation anyone was able to come up with for a Seagate failure pattern some time ago).

So, yes, the above, to detect and recover, but plenty of services need very up to date backups, so if I was designing such a system, I'd make sure the (near-)real time backup would be to SSDs that share nothing in common with my production ones, different manufacturer, chip sets, etc.

Or if the load could handle it ... ah, I see why Seagate is still selling real SAS enterprise disks (last time I checked, if I remember correctly, <= 1TB and up to 15K RPM). We understand those, not that they won't also fail on you.
Yes. The gravitational field couples to any energy; it doesn't care what the source is. Light carries energy, so the gravitational field responds to it.

While I agree with the often one-sided and biased western view of China, these innovation centers are being built in droves, and remain empty.

A commenter below who lives in China and works next to one of these new innovation centers describes it as yet another "ghost mall".

In all fairness, the US economy has it's own version of ghost malls, which is defense spending. We spend billions of dollars on military hardware that just floats and flies around with nothing to do and no purpose except to fight a war that's almost certainly not going to happen in that equipment's lifetime.

I don't get where you got the notion that you need to understand the failure model to rely on it. It's certainly good to, and it will prevent over provisioning, but a lot of storage solutions today are so complex that understanding the failure models is practically impossible. S3? Super-black box.

Basically all you need to define is the expected output. "99.9pct of my reads are within 1ms" + "The read response is correct 99.9999% of the time" and then verify. Eject the disk if that doesn't hold, restore from replica. The rate of replacements is a factor of how close you are to the true failure model.
Good point about the automation. Perhaps then in my lifetime.

How to Make a Paper Double Barrel Shotgun That Shoots Double Paper Bullets
Nobody expected the Leave campaign to have a 500 page detailed technical plan. Just a basic outline in terms of what was expected on free movement and the common market would be nice. Nobody seems to be able to agree on this or to make a reasonable proposal that the EU might actually agree to.

They can't even say what they want, except perhaps for the absurd fantasy where they get all of the benefits of the EU and none of the obligations.

I think maybe this is like the difference between having a computer with internet in your pocket vs having one in your basement (or a few blocks away!). In theory, you can go use it whenever you want. In practice, immediate availability changes habits and ways of life.
In theory yes. But the implementation of reconciling those differences a lot of right or wrong can happen. That's how wars, institutionalized bigotry, etc can happen.
That had to be made explicit in law precisely because the companies don't want you to have it.

Exactly right. The Government held the referendum and the government should implement it's result.

Telcos, at least in times past, really tried to achieve a true 5 9s. I worked for Lucent in 2001 on an ultimately doomed product that was essential to the company's independent survival, a Media Gateway (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_gateway) to supply the other half of their successful Softswitch Media Gateway Controller product, and my NoVa group worked with the Cincinnati people who were responsible for the 5ESS. One of my tasks was vetting the low level design of the persistent database, and it was intense at all levels. No spinning rust, that's for sure.
