Those who have tried the Odroid C2 will not fail to be impressed by how delightfully close it is to offering a significant desktop experience for a $40 device. It's nearly unbelievable that this tiny, portable device sips powers and can run accelerated videos upto 4k, runs 64 bit Ubuntu Mate and even 720p Youtube on Chromium. And it could be more but for ARM.

The potential for disruption is massive and yet here is ARM dragging its feet with it's increasingly inexplicable and extremely closed nature. Things only work on Android, the GPU especially is a big problem, and given Android runs the Linux kernel I am sure Arm and Google are having a laugh at the point of open source.

Most current mid to high end ARM SOCs and those coming make Intel's pricing and value look extremely questionable. These SOCs are a fraction of the price Intel demands. Enough to raise doubts about the future of the platform beyond high end gaming and GPU use cases. And with Vulcan even that is up in the air.

The iPad Pro benches close the the Macbook. The A72 SOCs are at 1500 single core and 4000-5000 multicore on Geekbench.

This is real. Yet ARM for reasons best known to them either do not see the potential or do not want to pursue it, giving Intel a breather. Now with Softbank acquiring ARM at this critical juncture its anyone's guess where this goes.
Fermi and von Neumann overlapped. They collaborated on problems of Taylor instabilities and they wrote a report. When Fermi went back to Chicago after that work he called in his very close collaborator, namely Herbert Anderson, a young Ph.D. student at Columbia, a collaboration that began from Fermi's very first days at Columbia and lasted up until the very last moment. Herb was an experimental physicist. (If you want to know about Fermi in great detail, you would do well to interview Herbert Anderson.) But, at any rate, when Fermi got back he called in Herb Anderson to his office and he said, "You know, Herb, how much faster I am in thinking than you are. That is how much faster von Neumann is compared to me."

> once we start thinking that one is better than the other, we get hierarchy, and we get superiority

Words like "better," "hierarchy," and "superiority" do not imply each other or follow from words like "different." I don't think the Irish are any worse (or less deserving of respect) than Kenyans because they're slower in a foot race. I can acknowledge the difference without accepting any of the value judgements you seem to think are inevitable.

We're almost certainly going to discover less palatable differences between races -- e.g. around intelligence. And the grandparent is right: you'd better be ready with a philosophy that accepts that reality on its own terms.
Yeah I don't think there's a reason to perpetuate what is in the article. (I also recall another study that found startup founders from broken homes were more successful? yikes? I'm also calling B.S. Freudian analysis here.)

I'm probably more happy when I'm creative and am around creative people. I'm sad when I can't be creative and don't have those outlets.

If you are having trouble with things, there are ways to get a bit better. Talk to someone, look into mindfulness about accepting current things more and worrying less about the future (this is pretty great really), etc. And in some cases you can take actions to make sure you're in a better situation.

I get a lot of good ideas from being around other people. Yes, you do need time to implement them, but having a good feedback loop if you are externally motivated is also a useful thing.

I think it's ok to want to fix the "being unhappy" part, and you can also be creative along the way. We definitely don't want to perpetuate the idea that we have to stay unhappy to be productive. Though this isn't always easy and a lot of people are dealt really hard hands.

There are some good examples of some incredibly unhappy people that were absolute geniuses (Van Gogh!) and also a lot of people that great creative geniuses that aren't as tortured. These things are orthogonal. But there are signs there's a lot of good things going on even when there are a lot of bad things also going on.

Not to say you can't find some good things about being sad about something. Developing empathy and caring about things is a pretty powerful asset. This can cause people to want to do more positive things for the world, knowing what it can feel like for them.
But is this legal in all countries and states? Because in some places, you can definitely take risks in hiring and fire fast, because employment is basically 'at will'. In certain other areas, there are all kinds of restrictions on how/when/why you can fire someone.

This might be why a lot of companies use these tests. Because in some places, you need to filter out 'bad' hires before it becomes difficult to dismiss them.

Most professionals I've known use Capital IQ, which is expensive.

It's surprisingly tough to get broad, machine-readable market data for free but there are some cheaper options. Check this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/SecurityAnalysis/comments/2ci5du/ca...

All US public company quarterly financial reports (and much more) are available in raw form at the SEC EDGAR site (https://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearch.html). Those reports income statements, balance sheets, etc. But beware that companies will often file corrections later.

In addition, nearly all finance sites provide summaries of these reports for at least the last few quarters and last few annual reports. I like morningstar.com. But finance.yahoo.com and finance.google.com both work fine.

If you want a bunch in one shot and don't have the money for Bloomberg or CapitalIQ or whatever, I suggest quandl.com, which acts as a cut-rate data aggregator for financial data.

You can make predictions and verify them. For example, I remember reading that in the context of trying to figure out the extreme ancient history of live billions of years ago someone made the prediction of some element that I forgot to be present in stone layers of a certain age period at to a very exact amount that was different from what would be expected without that specific theory. When they found such stone that element was present with exactly the predicted concentration.

Darn if I remember the details, but this serves to illustrate a point: You don't need to repeat the creation of the earth. You can develop theories and instead of repeating the whole process predict something obscure that isn't obvious at all to a very high precision, and see if at some later point what you predict might be found.

Same here: They could make predictions about what they expect to find at what locations, and when something is eventually found we can check if it's true. If you are specific enough with your prediction and not just "we'll find ancient bones" your prediction is as good a validation of the theory as is possible, and the more of it the better. After all, your one prediction isn't the only one, there will be others and everything builds on top of other stuff equally verified. Either a whole section of such a house of knowledge crashes if a prediction doesn't come true (something is found and it's different from predicted), or, on the other hand, more and more predictions are added on top and more and more come true, with each new one you can be a little surer of the basis than before.

You won't get much better than that in any field. Maybe math, but that's a "helper", not a field of science (insert the famous Einstein quote here...). Repeatable experiments don't give you that much more - if a lot of such predictions are made and verified it may even be better. A network of many things that all fit together (each one verified by such predictions) is really good evidence, also compared to just a single repeatable experiment. Sure, having both is even better. There are no absolutes.
Spot on. Only thing missed was potential price of the patents (which arguably that price will pay for core sale taxes). Only real bet on yahoo stock right now is whether the board can avoid some of those taxes on an alibaba or yahoo Japan sale.
It really doesn't make sense for Apple to manufacture traditional cars - they're expensive to produce, have steep support requirements, allow limited driver interaction points to avoid distraction, etc. Apple's strength is in combining hardware and software in a way that makes interaction intuitive. If you have to actually drive your car, there's not a whole lot of room for that beyond what's already being done with CarPlay. It makes a lot more sense to create an autonomous vehicle and treat the entire cabin as an interactive experience that people will spend hours a day playing with and spending money in.

I basically implemented this, and a lot of other features for my own personal trading bot against the Cryptsy API written in Python. The idea was to makes tons of small trades on alt coins throughout the day, constantly buying and selling on short crossovers, making fractions of a perfect profit after fees. It turns into an up and down roller coaster, sometimes you're way ahead, and other times you lose it all. The biggest issue was the low volume on most of the alt coins. At the end of the day, like many others have said, it's mostly luck, you will lose money eventually,but it's an interesting learning exercise. The only real way to win, is to have some insight into the market, not machines.

How does purity not help the developer focus in on areas where user input might have a negative affect the codebase or system?

I used monads only as an example (in brackets) but it's hardly the only form where purity creates clear divisions in the codebase. So, once again, the specific functionality of monads has nothing to do with it. I'm speaking about the coding style that Haskell promotes making detecting bugs easier during code reviews.

Having done security reviews of code I would have loved to have that type of distinction exist in a codebase compared to the usual OOP mess (with PHP or Ruby for example, which is typically the only paid work available in infosec) where state/user input is leaking all over the place. Compared to clearly defined paths containing IO - which are separated from pure functions which don't have unexpected side effects and require far less scrutiny.

I'm answering my own question here but I was hoping someone who has more experience than me at conducting security-centric code reviews would chime in to provide their perspective.
Yes, I think I see your point. If I may put it in my own words, I think you are talking about "dynamic recursive activation" throughout this thread.

I don't mean to disagree with the point you are making! It's a valid point.

However, I would like to emphasize that some languages have syntactic properties that complicate things a bit and I feel that a comment about how things "should" be really ought to be qualified by something like, "in a mainstream Java-like language".

Consider the simply-typed lambda calculus, or Martin-Löf type theory. These languages don't allow general recursion but it's not because they are always poorly implemented!
Take away Toronto and Vancouver and you have nothing but farmland and university towns. Not really evident of anything.

Fwiw Toronto is quite affordable still; you can live like a king in a brand new condo with curtain glass walls overlooking the city for under US$500k.

Especially new operating systems from Microsoft.
That's true. I'm not concerned about being first to market or making any profit on this type of project, would just be open source and release under GPL or whatever is appropriate.

I just didn't want to spend the time or effort doing it if a similar alternative already existed. My primary motivation is essentially just wanting the tool for myself and friends.

Not sure how long it would take but I might be able to release a useable proof of concept after a 3-day-weekend hackathon.
I have two questions for you.

How would you approach that for teens? Do you have any specific advice? I'm having trouble helping them find things to continuously motivate them to keep learning.
Coffee, sure. Some still oppose it. But refrigerators? I doubt it, unless you were an ice man. I can think of nothing less controversial then keep your food from spoiling.
Yeah but they actually have to live in Canada - the loopholes around buying permanent residence as an insurance policy and then just never living in Canada were closed a long time ago.

So if someone wants to full-hog move to Canada and buy a home in Vancouver, I feel like that's not the kind of activity we necessarily want to discourage.

My experience is that being in a depressed state makes me want to do anything to get the depressed feeling out of my body, which drives me to write/play music/whatever it takes. For me, expressing the sadness/whatever negative emotion I'm feeling can slowly chip away at it.
Taking this logic a step further, what is the effect of this intrusion on privacy? Is it a philosophical problem or a real world problem? To borrow a tech phrase, are we talking about free as in speech or beer?

I think that is the stage in the debate that convinces most normal people. Losing privacy of their gmail account to some faceless government entity is a theoretical problem that has no real impact on their lives. Terrorism on the other hand is a real world problem with easy to see consequences. I think most pragmatic non-techy people are willing to make that trade. If you want to change their mind, focus on showing how loss of privacy has real world effects.
I think the logic is that if you're a local, the primary purpose of the residence is for living, not speculation. If prices drop your illiquid asset # drops, but you still have a place to live and you're going to pay less property tax. Of course, people could end up underwater, but that's all dependent on how crazy a mortgage they were able to get (I think there is less craziness here than there was in the run up to 2008 amurica).

Yes, some people will get screwed. Hopefully this will result in less locals being screwed than if nothing was done.
The first example that came to mind (and made me add "organisations") is the creation of the National Health Service in the UK. A massive undertaking, especially as the country was still recovering from WWII, but massively successful.

Apollo, of course. The Manhattan project. Lots of NASA space probes.

Hmm, to be honest I'm less sure about companies... The phone network? Or laying railtrack right across the US?

Oh, and a topical one: the ARM chip! It was totally ridiculous for a tiny company like Acorn to jump straight from the 6502 to their own custom, cutting-edge microprocessor.
Well, that's true, the docs are terrible; you're way better off finding videos of people using the environment and eventually just learning to experiment with it. Largely what's different is that everything is live, all text is code and all code is text and you can highlight anything anywhere and execute it via either context menu or hotkeys. Pays to learn the hotkeys. Pays to learn to use hotkey for inspector and evaluator; inspectors are amazing, working with an object model without a database needing to be behind it is amazing, it lets you prototype extremely fast. And finally, the language itself is amazing as it's a programmable programming language, you can extend it to work to your will with very nice internal DSL's largely thanks to cascades and a clean anonymous function syntax.

The DNC manipulated their elections. The hackers (if a state actor or a lone amateur) are setting the record straight and are doing a great service to the american public.
They haven't found yet strong evidence of the election manipulation at the hacked servers, but this doesn't mean it didn't happen.
So far the Clinton Foundation leaks alone should be enough material for treason.

I mostly agree with this. Treating markets as an exercise purely in data science is a _bad idea_. Risking money without a solid understanding of market mechanics and trading conventions is a recipe for disaster. Taking a Bayesian view won't save you either - this is a land where some new "six sigma" event happens every six months.

That said, the same logic that holds for identifying profitable strategies within an institution holds for individuals: unless you have better gear, don't fish a crowded pond. As an individual, your small size is, in some regards, an advantage. Institutions routinely pass on strategies that don't have capacity (there's not enough liquidity to make the strategy's returns worthwhile relative to their trading level) or strategies that aren't quite up to their standards (but might be up to yours). There's also a huge class of strategies that have somewhat choppy but long run consistent returns. Traders and funds worried about MoM track records won't touch those.

Fees are the biggest barrier to entry. Institutions enjoy substantial discounts and an ability to amortize costs across a much wider base, making the strategy performance hurdle rate proportionally higher for smaller traders.
Canada does not have exit immigration controls, so PR residence fraud is still an issue. An agreement with the US to share data on people leaving Canada via the US has been announced and re-announced, but hasn't been implemented yet. Which is all to say that if you land in Canada, drive over the border and then fly abroad, the immigration bureaucracy still has no idea you've ever left.
Why we often hate new stuff?

Original piece tl;dr.

My simple, stupid take:

A combination of the law of inertia + fear of the unknown.
Most of the alternatives in use I can think come in genres where improvisation is far more important than playing exactly, and as such only a reduced feature set is needed. Examples include the above mentioned tablature, solfege (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solf%C3%A8ge), Roman numeral notation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_numeral_analysis), chord charts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chord_chart), or lead sheets (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_sheet). Full notation in the pop and jazz genres are rare.

For Western classical, honestly, considering the information included in standard notation -- rhythmic complexity, phrasings, special symbols for various afflictions, etc. -- it would be really hard to replicate this in a system that's both easy for humans and computers to read. (Think if musicians had to use something like the piano roll found in most DAWs...)
What is the main motivation for getting the money out of China? Are they hiding the money from the Chinese government? Trying to leave China or planning for political instability? I don't understand why all this money seems to be pouring into just a few oversold cities instead of more diversified assets.
It was not a condition of the 'AMA' to ask how the study was done.

As someone with depression, I feel berating these people, not for the results, but for the subject matter, to be completely founded.

You may certainly question my social intelligence, but I may then certainly question theirs.
Agreed. It takes 10 minutes to find a hardware store shopping list and bomb recipe. Even then, a lot of ingredients can be purchased over time without raising any flags. Buy bleach at one store and ammonia at another, say you're cleaning if anybody asks, then find a public place to mix the two.

Once someone decides to kill a lot of people, it's already too late. There is no, repeat, no way to prevent every mass murder. A determined killer will always find a way.

Nobody wants to soberly admit that the only way to prevent terrorist attacks are to keep people from wanting to do so in the first place, which is a long and imperfect process with absolutely no guarantee of success.

A lot of America's mass shooters are simply deranged and hungry for national infamy.

Hey folks,

Glad to announce Powow in Public Beta. We have been working on this for past 1.5 months and looking forward to what you guys think of it!

Powow is Android / iOS application that helps everyone to discover, share and connect with people, places and activities in their vicinity in natural way of conversations. We intend to make it a decentralised, implicit, geo-located communication channel for localities.

Why Powow?
Ever since starting college, we have been moving between cities, states or, even countries. But, till this date, moving is way too hard. Every time you decide to move, you have to prepare for days and weeks worth of browsing online communities like Meetups, Facebook groups etal to find interesting groups and people. Yet, there is no way to communicate with entire existing physical communities around us all the time. Powow intends to do just that. As you move, you become part of the existing society around you. No need to create and join a gazillion groups in different locations.

Now, belong everywhere!
