Regexes are perfectly fine. Awful implementations that accept patterns that aren't regular expressions without complaint and provide little to no tools to look at underlying automata or to step through them during execution are the problem.

It's quite an amazing problem to have honestly because it really shouldn't be a problem to create a proper implementation. You can learn the theory behind regular expression in a few hours and know pretty much everything there is to know.
Other APIs with varying levels of support:

Logitech devices - http://gaming.logitech.com/en-au/developers (haven't looked into this since the G15 was new).

Corsair CUE SDK - http://forum.corsair.com/v3/forumdisplay.php?f=271

Razer Chroma SDK - http://developer.razerzone.com/chroma/

Although this might be much, much harder because you'd have to trick each SDK into thinking it's talking to the devices it expects. A good example of this is a nice hack that takes Logitech LED commands and sends them to a Corsair keyboard instead - http://forum.corsair.com/v3/showthread.php?t=140755

This is one place where some common standards / APIs would have really helped. Instead, the community is left to do all the work.

while OP is right -- this doesn't seem to serve majority, the truth is that the system is rigged and this supposed to serve a few multinational corporations that feel their profits are severely cut due to copyright infringement, meanwhile posting record earnings.

it is still mind-boggling to me that this non-US human being doing allegedly non-violent crime will probably end up serving 25 years in american prison (wire fraud is a magic word in LE indictments) for a bunch of bits being configured the way to organize in magnet links that sharing of - as far as I know, similarly to URLs, had been found in courts around the world as a non-infringing act.

Depending on what programming language you use for your Curry-Howard correspondence, there is actually a related thing. Probably the most well known realization of C-H is dependent type theories like Coq and Agda. And those support a proof method called "proof by reflection".

The idea is that in those languages, types can contain program terms as subexpressions, and two types are considered "the same" if they evaluate to the same expression. Because the languages enforce that all expressions terminate, it's still decidable whether a program is well-typed or not, so the language can still be considered a proof system, but the type checker can take almost arbitrarily long time to check a program because it has to evaluate subexpressions to values in order to check type equality.

Anyway, the point is that this can be used to write down short programs that act as proofs. For example, suppose you want to prove there are no counterexamples to Fermat's last theorem for exponent 5 and numbers less than 100000000. In this case, you would write down a function

f : nat -> bool

which evaluates the expression for all numbers less than the argument and returns whether there is a counterexample, then you would prove a lemmma

soundness : forall n, (f n = false)
-> forall x y z,
(x < n) -> (y < n) -> (z < n)
-> (x^5 + y^5 ≠ z^5)

and then the proof of the final theorem is just

soundness 100000000 eq_refl

In order to check the eq_refl part, the type checker would evaluate (f 100000000) and verify that it evaluated to false. But all that computation is not recorded in the proof term. So the program that represents the proof is very small, and constant size in the bound.

This is actually very useful in practice, because storing and manipulating big proof terms is slow and memory-hungry, so it's useful to be able to push the computation under the carpet in this way. On the other hand, it is sometimes considered a little philosophically dubious.

That last sentence is a really good, solution-oriented and reasonable approach. In reflecting on this post-post I recalled how ZeroHedge would use a 'default' name (Tyler Durden) for posts.

The confusion around the word "value" here is unfortunate but hilarious. Marx distinguished between "use value" (the value you get from using the razor) and "exchange value" (the money you are willing to pay for the razor). Those terms would help a lot to put this discussion on a coherent footing.

Economists have tended to shy away from trying to measure use value. However they are forced by actual events to talk about increases in "consumer surplus" which is effectively defined by the increase in use value per dollar, or alternative decline in dollars per unit of use value.

More generally the problem isn't just that "we have become used to measuring the economy by stock prices." The problem is that we've only ever agreed on ways to measure the economy that depend on money.

However money as a measure of the economy becomes less and less useful. Productivity increases are measured in % per year -- which implies productivity is on an exponential curve. And as productivity tends toward infinity, exchange value and profit tend toward zero. We'd better get a handle on use value, otherwise we won't be able to measure much at all.

It also runs against Silicon Valley culture, which is to get to MVP as quickly as possible and release early. There are trade-offs to be made between complete optimization and time-to-market.

NativeBase – Component Framework for React Native
Recently I asked a friend to keep an eye out for issues of a British magazine of the 1970s / 80s. That he might encounter in charity shops or on eBay, for example.

This week he mentioned to me that he noticed many of them have been scanned and torrented. I've never downloaded a torrent before but this looks like a great opportunity.

So my quandary is: who could I legally pay for an equivalent resource? Many of the authors are now dead and the publisher went bankrupt.
Disclaimer: non-expert.

I think that's mixing two things: the code that the miners run, and the code that is the digital contract. I think the idea behind digital contracts is that, once the parties commit to it, it should be set in stone (set in code), un-changeable, even by a majority of miners, irrespective of the fact that the algorithm used for distributed mining is majority based. In other words if a small set of parties do a digital contract (eg. the DAO people), then the whole point of the blockchain is that, once it's in the blockchain, it can't be undone---even if some people don't like it, change their minds, whatever. It assumes the miners just supply the mining power, but don't go in and conspire to remove specific blocks. This situation shows that in the case of Ethereum, a small set of people are able to influence a lot of mining nodes, and hence get a majority, and have no problem going in an changing specific things in the blockchain (by changing the source code of the mining software).
Obviously it varies wildly based on distance to nearest tower and how saturated the band is with other users. "Burst/sustained" doesn't even capture the main variables that would reduce his speed.
In this case, it looks like it went through the ICE since it was an international crime. I can't find a budget newer than 2012, but all of their international investigations combined were $115 million in 2012 so that should be an upper bound for cases like this one.

I would suspect that purely domestic crimes are usually handled through the courts. For example, I don't recall the RIAA trying to get individuals prosecuted for crimes nearly as often as them suing people.

We can't do this well if Tesla and SolarCity are different companies, which is why we need to combine and break down the barriers inherent to being separate companies. That they are separate at all, despite similar origins and pursuit of the same overarching goal of sustainable energy, is largely an accident of history. Now that Tesla is ready to scale Powerwall and SolarCity is ready to provide highly differentiated solar, the time has come to bring them together."

I don't really see how this answers the question as to why they need to merge? Why can't their just be a partnership?

Google Research PM here -- my team built the language understanding tech that powers the API. Thanks for checking it out!

You picked a really interesting, and really hard, sentence to use to test us with. It has a couple of interesting phenomena: a reduced conjunction ("Line" goes with each color to make a name, like "Blue Line" even though "Blue" and "Line" are far apart), and high ambiguity ("Green" could be the color, the environmental movement, the political party, one of several people, or lots of other things (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_(disambiguation) ).

These are hard! So hard, in fact, that I'm reasonably sure that there's no system in existence that would get these ones right. (I hope I'm wrong, actually, I'd love to see approaches that can solve problems like this generally.)

Our systems are state-of-the-art, or in some cases better than any other published system. But language is really hard, and even the world's best systems are way worse than any human at understanding language. That's what makes working on this stuff so much fun and so challenging. It feels so easy for us as humans, but we just haven't figured out how to model all this so that the computers can do as well.

(I'm going to steal this sentence to use internally as a great "NLP is hard" example, thanks!)
That's just not true.

Yep, JSONB works great with Citus. It's a model we've seen a few customers follow and the example towards the end are two common use cases where we see it most commonly used (event streams where data doesn't always exist across all columns, and when schemas may commonly vary a bit but you still need to find a shard key and data model that can be shared across them).
To me the second reason is a serious conflict of interest issue and severely undermines the open source community spirit of your open core. GitLab's Inc would no longer be benevolent dictator for life, just plain old dictator.

"So, in short, Master Plan, Part Deux is:

- Create stunning solar roofs with seamlessly integrated battery storage
- Expand the electric vehicle product line to address all major segments
- Develop a self-driving capability that is 10X safer than manual via massive fleet learning
- Enable your car to make money for you when you aren't using it"

I take this as...

Would you care to share the premises that lead to such a stance? I can't think of how such an obligation would be occurred or why. To me use indicates that the value the end user gets is greater than the costs. Why would creating something valuable but not perfect be immoral? If those that create value are acting immoraly when failing to achieve perfection, are those that don't create value likewise held to the same standard?

I'm honestly a little offended at the notion that developers owe anything beyond what's contractually agreed to their users. That something can be accessed and enjoyed for free, that it can be preferable to any other alternative activity the user could be doing, and still not be enough on the part of the supplier to avoid moral condemnation seems like the height of entitlement.

Tesla’s master plan part two is huge for the company
Uber is betting on car manufacturers to have autonomous driving in place, while it builds up a worldwide user base of logistics (moving people and goods from X to Y). It doesn't care if vehicles are driven by a horse or by electricity.

Tesla is building the vehicles and energy source for the vehicles, and building the autonomy in to them, but it's betting on a user-base acquisition via hardware (vehicle) ownership and/or eventually some form of subscription to the "Tesla" club.

Carbon-based fuel(s) will eventually run out. Tesla via SolarCity will be in an incredible position of offering energy, so I'll be looking at how well their plan of putting Solar on every roof works rather than autonomy / vehicle manufacturing / sales. I think this is likely going to be their make or break asset.
I was thinking the same while reading that part, and I also find it very scary. Why would you even _let_ the load balancer take off _all_ of your servers?
The secret to diversity is not giving a shit about stupid criteria like race or gender, and shutting the hell up about it. Quiet acceptance of anyone who fits and does good work.

My guess is they're searching for the first non-whitespace character, reverse-searching for the last non-whitespace character, and then using String.Substring to return only what's in the middle.

As to why they're not using String.Trim (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/t97s7bs3(v=vs.110)....), maybe it's because String.Trim doesn't seem to know about the 200c whitespace character.
Uber's been likely working on self-driving cars, potentially in partnership with Google. What Tesla has as an advantage though, is an assembly line to produce lots of quality cars. In other words, Tesla will likely be ready for the future of transportation before Uber.
