How does one make you primary artistic medium the internet for a decade and yet don't know how it works enough to have backups of your work?

It's as if I worked in artistic welding but, never learned anything about the dangers of highly pressurized tanks of gas and then get surprised when leaving the tank valve open causes a fire and ruins your artwork.

He didn't have any backups anywhere else. He just completely relied on Google to do it for free forever just because. After a decade of making work that controversial, you never just save that stuff to jump drive?

This person is incompetent and irresponsible. Google owes him nothing.
Even though I do not share your political views, I am very disappointed that you got down voted for your opinion. This is a very subjective topic and no one should be downvoted for holding non-violent opinions on topics like this where there is no objective right or wrong. If you had been unnecessarily profane or such that would be a different story, but this is just sad.

Right: either the coup loses quickly or Turkey enters an extended civil war, with the military divided against itself. There's still enough military support for the coup to bomb the parliament building into dust as I write this comment.

I'm not sure why you'd go all the way to Marin, but I count 20+ such South-American-inspired restaurants in the east bay in a casual search. I don't really think of the north bay (or the peninsula) as culinary destinations, but SF and the east bay are great for food.

Your point is well taken that most of the US is unfamiliar with any cuisine further away than Mexico (and GP is right most of the Mexican is heavily Americanized).

Yes. The one thing I miss from Java development the most is debugging code from IntelliJ IDEA. Its just a fantastic experience to be able to step through line by line and see what's really going on, where it branches on each iteration and what state is changed. IntelliJ shows the current values of each variable next to where they are used in the source view, which really helps to narrow down the variables which are currently important.

Note that the Nazis never had the support of the majority. It's a common myth that Hitler was elected, but he seized power at gunpoint after winning a minority of the legislature (albeit a sizeable minority).

Putin is similar, with electoral fraud substituting for naked force. Trump remains to be seen.

Erdogan, on the other hand, seems to legitimately enjoy the support of the majority. It may just be a quantitative difference, but it seems like an important one just the same.

>you think the film's critics hate women? OK.

I actually didn't say that the film's critics hate women, at all, but thanks for the straw man and having an exaggerated reaction to a topic related to feminism. Not like I figured that was going to happen... Anyway, I said that there were men who were angry about the film because they perceived the gender-reversal as some slight against them and rallied against it as "feminism" (but usually with the typical adjectives "feminazi" etc). There are threads active on reddit, right now, showing this behavior, and threads from weeks past where they attempted to organize shilled review-bashing to "send a message".

Also, I actually read the article which shows that men's reviews are statistically significantly diverged from the average critic's review. I'm sure it's just a coincidence though.

>Every man in ther film is either an asshole or an idiot

I'm sure you are equally critical of most female roles in most films then, yeah? You've heard of The Bechdel Test?

>they kill the final ghost by shooting it in the dick

Sounds like it fits in with the original, at least as I remember.
If the military takes over, then the opposition parties will loose power as well. It's also in their own interest to oppose to coup.

I think everyone should pick apart everyone else's culture if they feel like it. If you want a sacred space, don't welcome the general public. You're welcome to treasure the things you want to, of course! But it seems rather surly to pick on people who like to nerd out on food.

Of course on another level, if your culture is picking on foody's culture, so be it! It all gets pretty meta...
Wow. You're going to have a hard time adapting to Europe, unless you only mingle with the elites.

Here is the thing, our values are not "get a degree". Our values are respect, treating and considering each other as equals, help each other, you know, stuff like that.

Unfortunately you seem to be very far from understanding it. Hence why you'll have issues in Europe. You're welcome to come and learn about our values, but be ready to respect everyone equally regardless of their origin, studies or money.

Good luck in your life.

This is extremely misinformed. When did you last look at it? Can you post some examples of the spagetti scripts mentioned? What features do the 'new 2016 container run times' have that the LXC project did not provide initially and does not have? Really?

It's sad to see this level of dimissive reductive fud being used against the LXC project liberally and consistently especially here on HN to promote other container solutions.

A quick visit to linuxcontainers.org or the LXC github repo will quickly and dramatically dispel such notions.

The LXC project is written in C and has been in development since 2009 along with cgroup and namespace support in the kernel. It's mature, robust and easy to use. It provides advanced container networking options from veth to macvlan and supports aufs, overlayfs, btrfs, LVM thin, ZFS for snapshots and clones, since at least 2011. It was also the first to support unprivileged containers with its 1.0 release in 2013.

It's this work that Docker was based on and its unfortunate the ecosystem far from highlighting the benefits they got many choose to downplay and misrepresent the LXC project leading to comments like the above.

LXC is now on 2.0 with multiple improvements from proper display of cgroup controls and container resource usage inside containers with the lxcfs project to initial support for live migration.

It is also significantly easier to use than single app containers especially for multiple processes and networking without needing to create custom process managers, run apps in specific ways or network workarounds. LXC runs the container OS's init in the container, Docker and others do not. There are reasons for both approaches. Hope for better informed discussions on Linux containers here.

According to that illustration, the coup plotters missed the crucial step of breaching the president's residence and capturing him. They completely mistimed the coup when the president was on vacation outside the country. Now he has been able to rally support against the coup and his supporters are on the streets protesting against the army

Yes. That's coup d'etat 101: capture political leaders and secure them. Only then can you move on to the next step.

If this thing goes south -- and I fear it will -- the backlash will be severe. Not a good thing for the future of Turkey.

There used to be severe amounts of antisemitism in this country. Even as late as 1997 Donald Trump sued so that Jews and blacks could attend country clubs in Palm Springs.

Richard Feynman wanted to attend Columbia University but was turned away because of the Jewish Quota.

But even with the antisemitism there were always firms who ignored the prejudice and hired on the basis of merit where merit was important. There were never diversity programs.

I believe there are firms in tech and other firms that need good computer tech that hire on the basis of merit and could care less the sex or color of skin of the individual. Who would want to work in a firm that isn't merit based anyway?
How could a coup fail so quickly?
If its execs, try "sales by network." Ask your friends for introductions to people, set up a coffee / or quick chat - and, take it from there. I know 2 ex-Deloitte guys that are nailing this (everything they do is based on friends referrals to C-level execs).
I would consider the US approach fairly liberal, where everyone is free to do as they want as long as they're not affecting other people with their actions.

Well yes, you do need to have the driver installed on the host OS :)

You can run multiple containers on the same GPU with nvidia-docker, it's exactly the same as running multiple processes (without Docker) on the same GPU.
That is good intuition, but note that one of the general drawbacks of Cramer Rao is that it applies for the unbiased case only (technically no, there is a version for the biased case, I have never seen it used though), and that too only well under certain regularity conditions. Indeed, there is a term for estimators where equality is met in CR, they are called "efficient" estimators.

There is significant research effort these days on going beyond unbiasedness and asymptotics, which in many cases has been beaten to death and is "classical", though there are still plenty of questions.

Here is a simple illustration of unbiasedness/going beyond it. Consider n iid (independent and identically distributed) coin flips of coin of P(heads) = p, and based on the observations, we want to estimate p, call the estimate p'. Optimum estimate in the sense of minimax - min (over estimators) max (over p in [0, 1]) E[(p-p')^2] is not the simple maximum likelihood which is the sample average.
Sample average yields a score of (1/4)(1/n), while optimum is (1/4)(1/(sqrt(n)+1)^2), which is slightly lower. It is natural to wonder why people care, typically the motivation is in high dim statistics where there is dependence on the dimension as well. In such a case fine grained characterization of performance sometimes affects the scaling in terms of the target loss amount and dimension, i.e the asymptotics now has at least 2 parameters, sometimes more.

My personal unhappiness with these problem formulations is their lack of robustness to transformations - suppose I now want to estimate p^3 instead of p, the optimum min-max will change in most cases, and definitely does here. Plugging in the sample average and then cubing is far more intuitive, and often works fine even though it is not optimal. There are more extreme examples of this, but that will take the thread too far afield.

If one is interested in the topic of biased estimators, I suggest reading about James-Stein estimators and more generally shrinkage estimators.

I stumbled upon this, which I think is pretty cool, www.wealthnation.com (every time you spend money on your card, it rounds up your purchases to the nearest dollar and saves them for you). On the other hand, you also have Robo-advisors like "Acorns" who do the same thing, but instead of saving it - they invest it shares.
It's also notable that there are many different militaries in the US: the 5 main national branches, the national guard units of the various states, as well as the state defense forces, that some states also maintain.
As far as I see it, they have to spend shitloads of money sometimes, but there is no incentive to spend money on improving and adding features to the core systems such as the ledgers, as it is very hard to get a return on the money that way, partially because it will not really improve their market share.

The money is spent on systems on top of the core systems (web etc) basically trying to stay on par with the competition. If they spend on the core systems, it's when they try to consolidate and save costs.

I disagree. Here's the first tweet:

"The telemetry you hate in Windows 10 allowed us to get rid of a wifi password feature you hate in Windows 10. What to do..."

This statement directly implies that Mr. Pyle believes users' wants to be inconsistent, and proceeds to mock the way he supposes users must now feel now that he's demonstrated their folly.

Here's a non-patronizing way to phrase the same sentiment:

"While I understand that users have privacy concerns about telemetry, I feel it hasn't yet had a chance to demonstrate its benefits. For example, just last week it enabled us to quickly react to negative user feedback about WiFi Sense."

But that's not pithy.

While I agree that it would have been nice had he given examples of why React is bad and/or Web Components are better, I don't see anywhere in the post where he suggests React is bad simply because its developed by a for-profit corporation. His argument in that respect is that Facebook has a financial incentive to strengthen their walled garden and, to that end, they promote a custom implementation over web standards. And that is bad for everyone.

There is a more recent post (https://www.pandastrike.com/posts/20160331-facebook-react-pa... - thanks to @suyash for pointing that out!) that clarifies this point and even offers some counter-points to the argument. It doesn't touch on the technical merits of Web Components over React which I would like to see but I have to agree with their overall feeling on the matter.
Sky News is interviewing a Turkish journalist right now, live (http://news.sky.com/story/live-turkish-army-says-taken-power... ). She says she supports democracy, not Erdogan, and that she's appalled that a small number of soldiers can take that away from Turkey. She's also appalled that a NATO member has to deal with military coups...

Especially considering he has been a tempered authoritarian before the coup. Now they will respond by expanding authority. Leaders like that always do.

Hopefully that will further lead to support of the coup end goals which had some legitimacy. The only problem is that Erogdan has many hardline islamic fanatics who will take to the streets and help maintain his power.
