You can actually improve this a little with a better scoring function. Suppose we currently produce p, and A costs cA, for a power gain of pA. Likewise for B. Under the assumption that we will buy at least one more of A and B, we can look at whether A then B or B then A is faster, which is:

cA/p + cB/(p+pA) < cB/p + cA/(p+pA)

Solving this, we get cA * (p+pA)/pA < cB * (p+pB)/pB
Since the left side is all in A, if we pick the item minimizing that quantity, it is faster to buy it before any other item. So changing res.score to be res.cost * (cur_power + res.powerGain)/res.powerGain is going to be a bit faster
Not sure what Trump has to do with this thread other than as a distraction.

Hillary has plenty of ties to Russia, as shown by the nuclear deal in which the Clinton Global Initiative received $145M and Bill Clinton Received $500K for a speech. As part of the deal Hillary, as Secretary of State, reversed direction and approved the sale of uranium mining companies to Russia.

Hell, I know people who eat far too much and have lost aspects of their lives - but nobody is talking about outlawing food or alcohol.

Yeah, the more obscure bands is a hurdle we are working hard on, and we will solve. I am personally into more obscure bands, as you can tell from the Dead Milkmen on the landing page, so this is a priority for us.

A lot of this article is just about the "magic of diamonds." Rich people seem to get really interested in the science when it comes to their luxury goods. The author goes on talking about how it's as if there is a light shining from inside it... it looks like a lump of quartz.
I first encountered this essay from poking around in Philosophy of Math. If you picked up a survey of the topic, you might think it's all about formalism vs. platonism. That's an interesting topic, but it seems to me as if there's a contemporary trend (maybe not the dominant one) towards trying to understand the practice of mathematics--what makes a proof good or interesting, what mathematicians value, and how to think about mathematical understanding.

Unfortunately, the teacher I learned about this stuff from was not good at either (a) writing down his own ideas, or (b) telling us who in the literature was going down the same route.

However, Kenny Easwaran's paper "Probabilistic proofs and transferability" (http://www.kennyeaswaran.org/research) seems somewhat in that vein. Jeremy Avigad has a paper called "Understanding Proofs" that seems relevant, though I never finished it (http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/avigad/papers.html).
Your point is perhaps valid, but we're talking about an OS where people can even contribute bug fixes (agree that the percentage might be 0.1% or much less).

On the other hand, people get used to living with issues such as: 'High CPU use by taskhost.exe when Windows 8.1 user name contains "user"' [0]. Possibly because we've become so accustomed (slaves?) to a certain computing environment. Moreover, you can't even contribute a bug fix.

Ubuntu on Windows hasn't arrived as a service to Windows users. This is an acknowledgement of a growing threat (at least in a limited developer community).

That said, get rid of Unity and Ubuntu would suddenly so much better. Canonical might have damaged Linux lesser if it made Openbox the default WM.

"1) It's ridiculous to conflate modern science and Stalin."

First of all, I absolutely place Communism in the domain of "intellectualism". The only reason to do otherwise is simply because it failed and you don't want the stain of Communism on the word "intellectualism", but there is no other reason. It was, and remains, an intellectual-driven movement, since Communism is hardly dead. It is impossible to understand it from any other point of view. There were no Communist revolutions I know of led and driven by "the people". There were no Communist revolutions I know of where "the people" ended up in charge, rather than an intellectual who drove it. It started with intellectuals sitting around and theorizing, and was continued by other intellectuals taking the theories as truth and then trying to put them into practice despite the complete lack of evidence in their favor. (One can't help but feel that the fact that it flatters their egos played a significant role.) If there weren't communist intellectuals still running around today, I would let it go, but it is absolutely one of the things I had in mind that are still alive that should have died decades ago.

Secondly... Five Year Plans are alive and well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-year_plans_of_China And I hear the phrase from other places every so often as well. The idea that you can make grandiose plan years in advance is hardly dead. (The word "grandiose" is not extraneous. I have multi-year plans to pay off my mortgage, for instance, but that's not "grandiose".) While I fully intended the Stalinist overtones, the general criticism is about glorious planning disconnected from reality, which many large institutions (governments, corporations, etc.) become prone to.

Finally, you missed the true core of the post, which is that I have contempt for so-called intellectuals who react to the failure of their theories by clinging to them all the harder. One of the things about being an intellectual is that you have the mental firepower to rationalize harder than the common man, and I have contempt for those who use their mental firepower that way. Words and theories must not take priority over the facts on the ground. That way lies madness. I do not theorize about how that way lies madness because I need merely look out at the facts on the ground and see a wide variety of "intellectuals" propounding insane theories with epicycles piled on epicycles that they should have given up decades ago, some of which have had devastating consequences on the world. For instance, I lay the bulk of the blame for the obesity epidemic on certain intellectual's disastrous failure to notice how blindingly wrong their theories about healthy eating were when the evidence was staring them in the face (and gut, and thighs, and heart, and cholesterol, ....). So if I seem a bit incensed about false intellectualism, it's this sort of thing that leads me in that direction. Most fat slobs you see waddling down the road next to you are caused by false intellectualism by my reckoning.

This is a global problem but extreme in the Netherlands... Albert Heyn, for example, really sells questionable quality of meat (a chicken becomes half its size when cooked), adds loads and loads of sugar to simple products like mustard and bread and even salads. It is really a race to the bottom. In Germany, Belgium and France, if you're willing to spend a bit more it's easy to find quality ingredients...
It isn't a bkueprint, but I totally se it as an investment. Had they not seen the book & read it, they wouldn't be having their company. So it is an indirect investment.
Fasting has been a godsend for me. Not only is it great for losing weight if you can handle it (it gets much easier with time), but I feel noticeably sharper and more productive when I fast.

It's fascinating how ingrained the concept of constant eating is in Western civilization. You can lose 100 pounds and keep it off, but tell people you fast and it's "but what about starvation mode? You need to eat 6 times a day or you'll die." Tell others you skip breakfast and some people actually get offended.
I'm going to be honest here, I'm non-partisan and I agree with some of his comments here and so does this lawyer who specializes[0] in cases like this. If I had that data in my possession it would already be on wikileaks, the American people deserve to know what their leaders say when they don't think they are listening.

I would assume the "Blame Trump & the Russians" is meant to discredit and distract. Wikileaks is only good when it goes after people you don't like.

I too am a little confused since, as you point out, Sec. Clinton has friendly dealings with Russia.
I agree with your points - but in the article we're talking about Linux for the desktop - which is inherently about design.

I think it's maybe better to think of the kernel as something like a 'chipset' in terms of it's relevance to the desktop.

Linux? BSD? It's like AMD vs. Intel. The user-based OS is so abstracted it almost doesn't matter. It's a technical detail.

Well, not if you want to be a data scientist, I think.

If you don't do a class where you build things from first principles, you'll never know how to tweak code you imported.

The linear regression algorithm he teaches is a stepping stone to neural networks, it's a neural network with no hidden layer and no nonlinearity. True, you would probably never use that in the field but you have to start with something simple.

After I took the Ng course and put a couple of algos built from examples in the course into production, I said, "oh, let me use R or scikit-learn instead of this hacky Octave." And off the shelf using default parameters, none of them performed nearly as well. You need to understand the algorithm pretty granularly to be able to then cross-validate and tune parameters.

The field is sufficiently new that for anything interesting, an off-the-shelf import from scikit-learn is not going to be anywhere near state of the art, you should have the ability to roll your own.

It would be interesting to re-implement Ng's examples and assignments in TensorFlow.

There is no evidence of that given her past behavior and particularly with the Russians as evidenced by past decisions http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/24/us/cash-flowed-to-clinton-... per tomohawk's post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12281559
"Any intellectualism that's divorced from reality and impervious to critique and verification does not deserve to be called intellectualism."

True, but that's a definitional debate. I would be happy to see the huge pile of ideology today masquerading as academia correctly renamed, but before that can happen it seems a lot of people (in the general sense, not targeting this statement at any individual) must be introduced to the idea that there are a lot of things currently labeled "academic" that are just ideology.

It's hard because you have to separate it on a case-by-case basis. I'm broadly unimpressed by most of what is called sociology but Jonathon Haidt particularly impresses me, for instance. I'm sure there are others who would impress me if I took the time to learn. But the field as a whole seem to have a gestalt consensus that strikes me as quite resistant to falsification.
Fear is crippling. But safety if also misleading.

I do aerial acrobatics, I've tried to battle fear of heights when being 5/10m up and making a drop, having to be sure that I did the correct moves and the rope will stop my fall. The only safety I have is a 2 by 2m crash mat that won't protect me from broken bones. Not to mention that falling to the mat in the wrong position or outside of the mat will also have potentially serious consequences. And yet when I don't have it, something goes off in my mind and it gets much scarier. I'm afraid of doing anything, even the most inconsequential moves.

Fear is irrational, and I've realised that safety is sometimes psychological and misleading. You'll likely put yourself in more dangerous situations by having a safety net, and knowing you can fail. Thing is, safety also fails, and you can also fail in setting up the safety material (knots, ropes, mats).

My point: This guy knows the consequences of every move, will be much careful in execution of every step. Much more than if he had a rope. He can't afford to get distracted, while someone with a rope will likely pay less attention to details.

He's trying to say that Android is something totally different from Linux.
Sure, it currently runs on Linux' kernel, but that's pretty much all.

You don't write your program against Linux/unix API, you write it against

CE kernel, virtually nobody would notice, including most of the Android
programmers.

Thanks for understanding.

Choosing the artwork is a great idea, adding it to the list. As for the song, we are currently playing the artists top song on Spotify. This may change in the future, but is the best we could come up with to start.

Venue featuring is something we are thinking about. I'm from a small Canadian city, so I know understand your situation.

We will be looking into any integrations in the future. Not sure at this point.

Sorting is a big feature we are tackling. I agree that sharing your awesome show list is the main feature, so you need to be able to to that in different ways. Thanks for the suggestions.

Thank you!

In the US, an academic postdoc is a training position with a shamefully low salary and without provision for advancement, somewhat analogous to a medical internship. It's a job, but not a career.

Depending on location, there may be mechanisms to preferentially hire a postdoc on as non-tenured faculty. It became more common in biomedical sciences after the recession when grad students stayed on for "postdocs" with their advisors when they couldn't find a job, and were then aged out of the postdoc.

yes, i launched a site that did some pretty cool stuff with photos, but i mis-read the customer, they are too lazy to do anything with them, they expect the cloud to automajically suck up whatever drivel they capture, waste untold amounts of diskspace saving it, and that the world will beat a path to their door for it - take a hard look at your customer - make sure they are willing to do their part in your value proposition
It disappoints me that that they charge for pre-built binaries... Yes I can go and build it from source but it just doesn't feel right to have an open source project distributed like this. Shame on them for flaunting what I think is the spirit of Open Source.

no, a recruiter never "legitimately needs" this information.

- an internal recruiter, if the firm's HR dept is set up such that the recruiter that first contacted you is also in charge of onboarding you post-offer, then ok.

It wouldn't be the worst thing a US presidential candidate has done.

"Like many of Nixon’s actions, this particular transgression was born of paranoia. As the 1968 election approached, Nixon and his aides feared that Johnson would try to help the Democratic nominee—Vice President Hubert Humphrey—by staging an October surprise. When LBJ announced to the nation, just days before the balloting, that he was calling a halt in the bombing of North Vietnam to help fuel progress in ongoing peace talks, the Republicans thought their fears were realized.
Anna Chennault, a Republican activist with ties to the South Vietnamese government, sent word to Saigon that it would get better terms if Humphrey lost and Nixon took office, the FBI would discover."

So if anything then this leak has to be considered for what it was: A foreign nation meddling in the elections of another.

Let's put that into context tho': it happens all the time and no-one bats an eyelid. When Obama came over and said we should vote Bremain, lots of people were annoyed at his presumption, but no-one considered it that big a deal.
Yes. Ceteris paribus, mutatis mutandis, all else equal, blah blah blah, marijuana decreases motivation. Period. How is this controversial today?

Here's an n = 1 study. A few years ago, I used a Pax to vaporize cannabis nearly every night for a year. I quit altogether after moving to an area where it was harder to buy.

After a month or two, I unexpectedly noticed a fog had lifted. It was easier to summon the right word to my tongue. It was easier to reason through difficult abstract problems. It was easier to start working on things.

If you are reading this and are thinking "yeah, but n = 1, man," you're right. I must be the exception. Being an egregious stoner doesn't decrease anyone's IQ or motivation, "studies" and "your lying eyes" be damned. YOU are not experiencing any deficits from smoking herb. Cannabis is NOTHING like soma, and in fact has no negative side effects at all. And you are certainly not rationalizing self-destructive behavior.
After I graduated High school. I devoted nearly all of my time to working on a web application aaggregator meant to be a platform where people could discover and share web apps. The site would also have hosting capabilities so that you could deploy your project on site. Think of it like a github pages with a featured projects page for interactive content. After launch I posted it on several forums hoping it would catch on with developers but in the end I only ended up having about 10 people register.

In retrospect I attribute my failures to
1) Not being in touch with what people wanted, or gathering feedback throughtout the process. There were a lot of extra features that I implemented which consumed a great deal of time that never even ended up being used.. So I should have launched a MVP and took things from there. I was scared of launching since I beileved my project wasnt ready even though all of the core features were implemented.

2) Lack of marketing/logistics knowledge. After I was done building the site, I truly didnt have the cash or knowledge for giving it the exposure it needed to gain traction. I naively thought that after launch my product would just organically grow itself, by word of mouth without having to put much marketing effort. Very stupid assumption.

3)planning and organization. I took on way too much technical debt for the project to the point where I cant even modify it. I built the site at a time where I was also learning web development and it was my first project ever. I ended up minifying the code, and was not even a Git user at the time. The variable names were lost and I only have the minified output. This is probably my biggest technical mistake.

So in hindsight these are probably the largest factors that contributed to my project being a complete failure, and honestly have discoraged me a bit from following some of my other ideas due to the fear of failure, which might just mean I am more concious of where I spend my time or it might be something that is holding me back. I am not quite sure.
