I think that the biggest feature that Pokemon Go will add, that will hopefully come soon, is the ability to broadcast your position.

> For 3.5 billion (rumored price), I'm surprised Google wouldn't take a flyer on Yahoo.

If they anticipate substantial antitrust scrutiny of the deal (and I would think Google buying Yahoo! would have to in ways many other suitors would not), it might not be worth the purchase price plus the cost associated with the scrutiny.
Why is Google hiring? If they're hiring to get someone to do a job, their setup makes sense. (A false positive - a bad hire - can be quite damaging, but a false negative - someone you fail to hire who would have been good - is not damaging at all, if in the end you hire someone good to do the job.)

But if Google is hiring for more than that - say, for what the employee will come up with on their own in their 20% time - then the false negatives could be extremely expensive to Google.

I don't think that's it at all. It seemed to me to be a purely intellectual curiosity, and one that I share. The logistics of something like the redrawing of property lines after the land itself has moved is well outside of our wheelhouse for most of us, I suspect the answer elucidated in a sibling of your comment was interesting to quite a few people.
"Poor UX"?

"Scan QR code, press Accept" is poor UX? You should see Visa's 3D secure, the thing that just makes me close the browser window whenever I see it, because it means I'm never getting the payment through.
Actually, that's interesting to think- the more automated the factory, the less sense it makes to overseas for low labor costs. (tarriffs and other legal structures are a different matter) So, other pressures (like being near raw materials, or near the end market, become stronger factors.

We called it a quality issue. IMO we didn't provide a good environment. One remote QA team promised things they didn't deliver. But we found out in two months

I wonder why, though. The publishers don't need to accept Bitcoin, HB just gives them dollars in the end. I would like to hear from an official source on this, because Bitcoin seems like the best payment method for them (and me, because I love how easy it is to use).

I completely fail to understand why they seem to rather dislike it.
I love the fact that the ratings are semantic, and limited to four easy to understand values rather than 5 stars:

Awful (Can I have those two hours back?)

Meh (Not great, but better than nothing
to kill time, escape or veg out)

Good (I enjoyed watching it)

Amazing (I'd watch it again and recommend
it to friends without hesitation)

With 5 stars, everyone interprets 2, 3 and 4 stars differently, e.g.:

Horrible Bad Meh Good Best

Bad Meh Good Very-Good Faves

Even the same person over time will not use a 5-star scale consistently. Even when I try to be consistent (I use the latter values for Netflix), if I like a movie but don't love it I don't know whether to give it 3 or 4 stars. On different days in different moods I'll make different choices.

I've no doubt that unreliable ranking data made Netflix recommendations harder, and impacted their mix of recommendation algorithms -- i.e. leaning more heavily on those that work despite rating scale inconsistencies. I'd expect the mix that works best for Taste.io will be different.
And you don't get the negative effects of, say, war, or uncoordinated action against external events, and a myriad other things.

Those truism by themselves are completely meaningless unless you can show that what they're missing out on is better than a unified free market.

I think the gist of it / watered down version is that you would be able to compile / run a good amount / most Linux (ubuntu) applications natively-ish in Windows.

For example, I read a blog where someone pulled down the redis source, compiled it, and was running it in wsl. That would be great for me, because it means I can just run redis in my dev environment, instead of turning on a vm to run redis (I know windows ports exist, but I've found it was faster and more reliable to just run the vm).

I also typically add ports of common applications (ls, grep, touch, etc) in my windows environments just to fill the gaps windows has. With this, I probably won't need to do that anymore.

> And ironically the capitalists always get blamed by the left for this unholy union between the state and upper class.

The reason is that capitalists (the economic class, not "advocates of capitalism"; the two have substantial overlap, but aren't identical) tend to be the power behind both business and government in capitalist systems.

Hey, there's more than one way to overflow an integer!

Trivially true things cannot depend on "fairly obvious" observations. In fact you cannot reason locally here: you must understand the whole code to convince yourself that it does not overflow. Consider an off-by-one error, like replacing line 318 with:

s=&tail[0..];

and now base will overflow.

Anyways the point of formal methods is to give yourself something better than "read carefully" to convince yourself of correctness.

We should figure out a way create some sort of dividend that skims some money off of the benefits of automation and adds it to social security income.

I'd say we should distribute it across age groups, but this lets you use the existing Social Security Infrastructure. Plus, young people don't vote in legislative and local elections, so that wouldn't be as useful for preserving the freedom to automate.

I've never used it in production, but I switched to it in the FreeBSD 6 era until FreeBSD 8 came out. I switched to it because FreeBSD 5 was a dog and couldn't stand it. I used it more recently on my x220 because they supported my Intel graphics card where as FreeBSD didn't yet.
Even more recently I tried it for a client for their little-of-everything server. I didn't use it because they wanted some ZFS features (send/recv). Dragonfly got much better performance for things like NFS and their rather large MySQL databases, though.
This is a hard question and I don't think any advice written here can help you more than just by pure chance. What you are describing can have a lot of different reasons and needs a lot of different reactions.

My usual approach for friends and family, who are in a situation like that, is to talk to them and trying to push them towards different possible directions. While doing this I get a feeling what they feel comfortable with and are interested in. Often people need those kind of pushes themselves. Our intuition works great, when we walk in a directions and tells us if that is something we're actually interested in. Once we have all opportunities at once, it often is just too much for it and our intuition doesn't give any feedback if we're actually interested in achieving that goal or not.

If you re interested I can take some time to talk with you on skype. I think 1 or 2 hours could be quite interesting for both of us. I would also appreciate the challenge, as I usually do this with people I know for quite a bit already. :)
Same here. Early 50s - played a bit - find the whole thing quite interesting.

What it opens up is the ability to use the commands and environment that are familiar to you, with as little change as possible.

Not that weird considering Amazon prices fluctuate daily (even throughout the day e.g. higher prices during lunch hours). Newegg likely does this as well.

Also note that his prices are listed per unit, and the products are not always sold "per [rpi] unit". For example, a 7 port USB hub powers 7 RPi units, so unit price = (item price) / 7.

I can imagine 3 years from now tech journalists will be writing that "history repeats itself". I can foresee that 3 things will happen:

- There will be a people drain from Yahoo. Anyone was is passionate about Yahoo will feel completely disenfranchised with being merged into a smaller competitor that is owned by a larger company. Some people will hold out for being made redundant in the hope of a good severance package, and some will simply stay regardless, but those who see what is happening will realise that Yahoo is over, and won't want to be a part of the frankenstein being assembled within Verizon.

- Yahoo's main properties (Homepage, Weather, Finance, Mail) will survive, Flickr/Tumblr I don't know. Tumblr itself has suffered from the difficulties of merging into Yahoo's culture and way of doing things. Flickr was resurrected in some ways, but struggles from the difficulties that other web 2.0 brands have - how to stay relevant and interesting to consumers today when the industry has changed so much since their creation.

- Mayer will go. She tried and she didn't succeed. She'll get a decent severance package, but Tim Armstrong will finally get what he's wanted for a long time. Whether he's able to successfully merge two large-sized businesses together I don't know, this is a different challenge compared to acquiring businesses like Goviral or Millenial Media, we're talking about a headcount of ~8000 employees, and there will be lots of duplicate roles. I don't expect the merger to go smoothly - I expect it to be a bit messy.

Either way, the goal of creating a relatively strong #3 to Google and Facebook seems at this point a lost cause - both Google and Facebook have market valuations that dwarf what AOL and Yahoo were worth at the time of their merger, and given a signal of what we might see in the next couple of years.

I haven't dug through their data or financials, but I work across the street from a wework and occasionally I go over and play some ping pong with friends. Their rent seems a little pricey, but it is ALWAYS packed with people in offices and at tables. I have multiple friends (3 or 4 different companies) that are all happily renting there. If other cities are anything like Portland I don't see how they are in trouble at all.
Im actually glad wework has terms of service like this and gave them an 30 minute eviction notice.
Sounds like Windows users discovering (and apparently having "fun with") GNU/Linux. None of this is really specific to this subsystem.

This practice is infuriating and does the opposite of encouraging me to call support less.
The CPU power would not be too hard to utilize, if one's task is amenable to fairly coarse-grained parallelization, which is rather easy to implement in R scripts with the help of foreach[1] and doFuture[2].

Such an approach worked to great effect for me recently, when I needed to perform a `zoo::rollapply`[3] across a time series with tens of millions of rows. The speedup when throwing more cores (7, on my laptop) at it is roughly linear. If I ever need to scale up the analysis to hundreds of millions of rows, the 128 vCPUs of an x1 EC2 instance would be well worth the $$/hour.

> I realized Pokemon Go was just a "background activity" for hanging out with friends... and I'd rather focus on the people.

There's something to that. I pass many players daily on my way to work, and I see them more often in groups (usually friends, sometimes couples) than alone. I've read somewhere recently that it's also turning into a way to ask someone out / handle a date, and personally I know one girl I could easily ask out by suggesting we go Pokemon hunting...
I'm not sure how it is now, but in the beginning it was well known developers (and not necessarily related to the titles involved, such as notch) paying lots of money not to inflate the price specifically, but to support the charities involved (and you can choose the amount that goes to the charities). Then again, a higher average price helps the charities as long as the total amount spent is higher, so maybe that is part of the goal, but for altruistic reasons.

I like that. That's a powerful argument!

For it to work, it requires that every number be returned as part of the result, and that all calculations are monotonically increasing, as you said. Most algorithms won't have those invariants, but perhaps you can tweak them until they do. Once you have, you can extend an infinite-width proof to a finite-width proof.

It's possible that HB doesn't want to be liable for the conversion of BTC to USD, and therefore the two parties are unable to come to an agreement as to how the royalties and compensation works for BTC sales. In the absence of an agreement on how to process BTC, it's easiest to simply not accept BTC for all parties.

Hi sytse, while I've got you.

I've been annoyed these last few releases by high memory usage. Every day, my backups fail due to ENOMEM.

I have adjusted unicorn-worker-killer to undo the increased memory usage you did a few releases ago:

unicorn['worker_memory_limit_min'] = "300*(1024**2)"
unicorn['worker_memory_limit_max'] = "330*(1024**2)"

(8.9.0's default is a totally absurd 400-650MB.)

and while that stops my server from falling over in the first 10 minutes, it does consistently fall over once a day.

Here is a screenshot of my htop, I'm not sure where to look next. 25% free sounds okay, but it's not enough to run a backup, or even run `gitlab-rake`.

No, none. That was the only publication on (necessarily) functional datastructures in the past 100 years. Maybe Turing and Church, but that's really it. Turing was especially explicit about keeping state (the notation) explicit.

Do you mean recommendations? I have none, but SICP, which you probably know. I liked the first chapter so far.

Also, see wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Purely_functional#External_lin...), and citations and similar articles for Osaki on google scholar. Personaly, I find the underlying theory about logics more interesting to begin with. ML was a script language for proof automation, in the bigger picture.

To hijack your thread: Seeing that OOP should be possible without side-effects, I find the distinction arbitrary. The basic structures are lists. Objects are often implemented with tables.
I already maintain a list of movies to watch based on whatever interests me on netflix + random lists on internet. I took their quiz and their recommendations had good overlap with my existing list. Impressive!
This is a great post as far as it goes. While Abhishek mentions Keras for neural networks (and Keras is a great Python library), he doesn't really go into the cases where deep neural networks are more useful than other algorithms, and how that changes a data scientist's workflow.

DNNs are really well suited to unstructured data, which isn't the kind he highlights. One reason for that is because they automatically extract features from data using optimization algorithms like stochastic gradient descent with backpropagation. What that means is they bypass the arduous process of feature engineering. They help you get around that chokepoint, so that you can deal with unstructured blobs of pixels or blobs of text.

Because unstructured data is most of the data in the world, and because DNNs excel at modeling it, they have proven to be some of the most useful and accurate algorithms we have for many problems.

Here's an overview of DNNs that goes into a bit more depth:

I don't know how thin the margins in this industry are, but this doesn't strike me as a substantial cost-saving move, especially if this is how much the US would collectively save.
Just to be picky, this is one of the weakest arguments of UBI. This gets into a "what is money" kind of discussion, but paying people because they are incapable of employment is not a good outcome. That money reprents scarcity, which traditionally has entirely been labor. In a post labor economy, what is money?
I'm still hoping for someone to build a SBC like the RPi that takes POE for power. USB is convenient for general use, sure, but for something like this cluster it would be ideal to have a single wire in and out.

Unfortunately it's probably a chicken-and-egg thing, where POE is too expensive until a lot of boards support it, and boards won't support it because it's too expensive.

I don't remember exactly how the very early bundles were set up, but the first ones I think were purely "pay what you want" and didn't have the "pay more than average to unlock" mechanic. It seemed... cleaner back then.

Still, my only real complaint about HB is that they seem to want to create another GOG or something - most of their mails now are pretty much spammy, advertising the same deals on "regular store" over and over again. I used to be excited when I got a mail from them because it meant another cool bundle. Now it's mostly store promotions.
