If it's unique in a local market or a vertical a logo probably does it's job, e.g. an office of CPA's. On the other hand, I'm not sure how an open source logo would interact with trademark law.

Anyway, there's not a huge value in logos for most businesses beyond quick recognition and expending a minimal amount of energy probably outweighs global uniqueness in many cases.
"How would you find out that it doesn't work? For a specific group of people for example?"
Yeah, in physics if A affects B then B always affects A. This idea was first formalised as Newton's Third Law.
I've received maybe 10 of them, but always from dang.
I'm being 100% serious here: Have you thought about the market for the smaller one being more oriented towards cannabis rather than vegetables?

With Colorado and Washington state (and I believe Alaska) now allowing homeowners to legally grow cannabis, I think a smaller version of this product for indoor use would have a market. It doesn't have to produce a large yield, and people would really like the aesthetic aspect of a closed cycle with fish involved.
True, I think if you lived in the village it would be hard for you to escape it and get highly educated.

For that you prolly need to move to a big city, but from my immediate reasoning, I could work remotely from the village for the rest of my life as a programmer and could have a higher standard of living then being in the city.

But I guess that is due to the nature of my job, rather than anything.

It sounds murky because we were being silly the first time around. The physically relavant quantity was always the sum of all those contributions and we decided to (arbitrarily, in the grand scheme of physics) split things up under some scheme. So, in hindsight, the positive and negative infinities were artificially manufactured by our segregation scheme... there's not much to be bothered about in that regard.

That might still mean that there's more to be understood regarding notions of infinity or the convergence of amplitudes in quantum field theory.
How did they not make the obvious "beebliography" pun at the end? I would not have been able to resist that.

So basically, you're a victim because Valleywag claimed you said:

> I could sell my home right now and buy a shed in Silicon Valley.

> I would gladly sit through six or seven months of Chicago winter to experience fall.

> San Francisco has more pets than kids.

...and you didn't say those things? And you were worried that people would react negatively to that?

Seriously? The first and third things are things I'd actually say, because they're true. The second one is more of a matter of opinion; for all my SF hate their weather is pretty nice, but if you like cold good on you. Nobody cares.

The victimhood complex that so many people have these days is bad, but this level of fear that you'll offend someone is much worse, IMHO. If you can't complain about SF housing prices because it might hurt someone's feelings, you've got a bad problem.

4 Tips Entrepreneurs Can Use to Land the Perfect Office
As mentioned in the article, Angiosperms emerge in the fossil record later than this butterfly-like lacewing. The earliest flowering plants had flowers that are thought to be pollinated by beetles. Wind pollination evolved several times in flowering plants, with plants that are now wind pollinated arising from plants that had flowers that were larger and had characteristics associated with attracting insects.

There are extant "primative" plants without flowers that are pollinated by insects (many more in the fossil record). A great example is Gnetum, which is a gymnosperm (more specifically, a Gnetophyte). It's likely that pollinators like the lacewing in the article came first, and flowers came afterwards.

Do auto-rickshaws still have dirty two-stroke engines?
May I ask what is not memory safe about C++ in this situation? I am talking C++11, not the widespread C++98 stuff we find everywhere.

Or why not use local variables that are guaranteed to be cleaned up?

I suspect Apple would have an alternative to write this in Swift, but that would probably have speed implications (I am guessing).
The only relevant question for that part is: for each dollar spent (or other measure of wealth/effort), how much reduction do you get in each place?

I'd wager that you get much more bang for your buck in China. The US is much more efficient at generating wealth from CO2 emissions: our emissions are about half, while our GDP is somewhat larger. China still has a lot of low-hanging fruit when it comes to cutting CO2 emissions.

In any case, per-capita doesn't matter at all unless you want to come at it from a moral angle.
The US and Western Europe burn far more fuel today than they did in the 1960s, but have vastly cleaner air than they did then. Efficiency and reduction of use are not sufficient to improve air quality. In fact, big diesel engines and big coal fired power plants can be some of the most efficient methods of using energy while still being tremendously polluting. The problem is primarily particulates, sulfur, NOx, and carbon monoxide, all of which can be controlled if the proper systems are used.
I don't know anything about terrapins in particular, but turtles in general carry a ton of potentially dangerous diseases. In many states, turtles are outlawed as pets because their digestive systems are so geared towards incubating bacterial pathogens.

1. In talking to other aquaponics businesses, I've heard that people are not very excited about paying for a manual/plans. If you're serious about this, let me know and I can email you a payment link :)

2. Aquaponics in general only uses ~10% of the water a normal garden, with the only water losses being evaporation and plant transpiration (and what water is incorporated into the plants themselves).

3. This is a good point. The plants that normally grow well in your garden will grow well in aquaponics, with a few extreme exceptions. For example, you would not want to grow blueberries, since they prefer a low pH.

I think there are two problems with requiring explainable models:

Explainable models will be more easily gamed, and they are likely to be less accurate.

The features in the models themselves will become less useful at their task. They will be gamed. This is roughly along the lines of Campell's law[1], though I've seen other, better explanations that I can't find. What happens when someone is turned down for reason A and B. They go and fix reason A and B, but in the mean time, so have many other credit seekers, diminishing their predictive value. In that time, the modelers create a new, different explainable model, that no longer uses A and B, but somewhat related predictors C and D, which haven't yet been used, and so haven't yet been gamed, which the original seeker does not meet?

Explainable models, being a subset of all models, are likely to not contain the most accurate models. I don't anything about the domain of credit scoring (maybe state of the art models are actually small and understandable?), but in speech recognition, for example, models are constantly growing in complexity, their individual decisions are way beyond explainable to anyone in reasonable amount of time, and they are only getting more powerful as they get larger and more complex. In speech, models are already many gigs. In credit scoring, less accurate models mean higher rates, so there is an aggregate loss.

I would argue that the precedence priority is kinda a wat-moment. Most other languages[0][1] have the logical operators `and`, `or` and `not` in the lowest (or near) priority, which makes much more sense IMHO.

If you'd dismiss the above, then I guess one could also argue that JavaScript returning an empty string on `[] + []` is also not a wat moment, but just part of the JavaScript grammar.

As if they didn't have enough laws against protesting...

Yarovaya's legislation introduces a new criminal-code article that outlaws “inducing, recruiting, or otherwise involving” others in the organization of mass unrest. The maximum penalty for breaking this law is ten years, and the minimum prison sentence is five years.
You need to think about how we measure truth and even what truth is.

In machine learning we tend to assume the annotations and labels are "true" and build a system towards that version of the "truth".

> Prediction accuracy is measured by whether the predictions are true.

The more I think about this sentence, the less sense it makes. Prediction accuracy can only be measured against records of something, and that record will be a distortion and simplification of reality.

It's also a symptom of corrupt communist governments.
This is not exactly true. In regards to tourists visas, the law is almost always about not working locally.

Most foreign governments don't care at all if as a foreigner you work from your laptop for a foreign company. You are not taking any jobs away from the locals, and you are still spending money in their country.
A related story : There's a mega mall in Chandigarh, India that wasn't given approval for a power connection for quite some time (politics / corruption).

Real estate is super expensive & the owners couldn't afford to sit idle and play games with the government so they decided to run the mall from morning till night on diesel generators. That's ~ $4500 of diesel each day, probably 6-8k litres. This is an example of a pollution source that's completely avoidable. I'm not sure for how many years this continued on.

What's worse is that there was no widespread public outrage. Why didn't people boycott the mall that's polluting their city and at the same time put pressure on the government to set things right ?

For a perspective, the city I'm talking about is a modern affluent city, close to Delhi (~ 160 miles). Home to a lot of politicians & celebrities, one of the most well planned cities in the world [1] & one of the cleanest in India [2]

This is true if the system you're trying to describe is weakly coupled.

If the theory is strongly coupled, then in fact more and more complicated diagrams count more and more. In this case the method of Feynman diagrams because basically useless---in the case you describe you know you can get most of the answer from a simple calculation (of the simplest diagrams). But if more complicated diagrams count more (as in strong coupling) then you don't have a place to start, because whatever diagram you pick to start at I can make more complicated and be confident that my new diagram counts more than the pieces you've computed.

In that case we need a different approach, the most generic of which is lattice field theory

Meh. The nerds still get pushed around. Most web devs these days are not nerds in any traditional sense. Web dev has long since left the computer labs and entered the art and media departments. And with it has come the every increasing use of Apple products in web dev circles.

The press (and Gawker in particular) have in recent years actively engaged in witch hunts that shut down freedom of speech by leveraging their power against individuals. That's far more chilling than being sued for publishing someone's private sex tape.

If you focus too much much on current abstraction, you lose sight of better ones - that was the point of my previous post.

I also don't agree concrete stuff derives from abstractions. You can make concrete stuff, using certain models/abstractions, but their behavior will always differ from the model. Because model aren't reality.

Is anyone surprised Putin is eager for this? This is a man who was a junior officer in the KGB. Young enough to be bought into the propaganda of the USSR, smart enough to land a job at the KGB, and yet not senior enough to see through the high level societal corruption and demystify much of the inner workings of the upper eschelon. It's no surprise that he wants to "Make Russia Great Again" after living through the "humiliation" of the USSR's demise. That's precisely why he is dangerous even by the old guard's standards: Lessons that should have been learned were not.

But by your definition, you maximise sovereignty by declaring yourself entirely independent. That makes no sense. If you are wholly unwilling to enter into agreements with other people then you will find it very difficult to achieve anything at all - indeed, you are likely to be exploited in some way (in most places in the world this would entail being locked up in prison).

"Freedom" to act is not a state of nature. Others can inhibit your freedom unless you convince them not to, either through agreement or force.

Definitely, and I certainly wouldn't argue against taking action against CO2 emissions because local air pollution is a bigger problem. Fight both, and where possible find solutions that help both.

The tradeoffs tend to be in smaller fixes anyway. With diesel engines, there's a point where you may have to choose between more CO2 and fewer particulates, or more particulates and less CO2. But obviously both will be improved greatly if you replace that with an electric motor and batteries charged by CO2-neutral energy.
What a cool idea! I was pretty surprised how much the wooden enclosure really improved its appearance.
Hacker News' purpose isn't to promote discussion from explicitly free or noncommercial sources, or from sources which enforce a particular moral framework. Even though paywalled sites and sites that block adblock are annoying (although many provide workarounds,) banning them outright would deprive the site of potentially worthwhile content, and the content is what's important, not the commercial model behind the site hosting it.

If you're not willing to RTFA, fair enough, just don't comment in threads about TFA. That would improve Hacker News more than blocking those sites altogether.
