I get the feeling that many people are afraid of this, but really don't know anything about it.
Sure, I didn't say all LO developers. But from what I've seen (and to be fair, this recollection is a bit old) a lot of the LO people showed a lot of resistance to having code flow back the other way.

OTOH, maybe things have changed since I formed that impression. At any rate, your willingness to do so is appreciated. As far-fetched as it sounds, I still hold out hope that one day the two projects can have an amicable co-existence and collaborate to a greater extent (than today).
I'm not sure why publishing modules with the same name as core ones is even allowed. I get that it probably won't be possible to remove stuff like `fs`, `console`, `vm` and others, but maybe worth adding a policy for preventing this in the future.

You probably won't even be able to `require` them without some fancy tricks in newer node versions: https://nodejs.org/api/modules.html#modules_all_together
Node certainly has nontrivial mindshare, but I don't get the impression that is 'killing' other platforms.
I spoke at length w/ a friend working on mortgage-backed securities for GS a few years ago and dealing with third-party (and even intra-office) trust was specifically why he was looking into blockchains, but I'll admit to not being super familiar w/ R3's blockchain implementation. If anyone has a less diatribey and more technical resource they could link to that'd be great.
> Wrong. There are codes describing density and building height. Palo Alto city council will never change these rules, indeed, they seem intent on making them more stringent.

Oh, I'm well aware that there are rules against increased density today.
Alcoholic drinks sold in a package come with warning labels. I've seen reports 1-2 drinks a day may improve longevity, but I doubt it would be acceptable to label every beer as "youth potion", you have to limit intake for possible benefit. For the soap, to receive a benefit also requires more than the label indicated.

The substance banned takes hours to kill the bacteria (according to the article), so I would say it's marketed in a mis-leading way. I doubt many people actually buy the soap thinking a multi-hour exposure is needed.
I could be wrong, but from what I remember, the MPL has generally been considered a "weak copyleft" license.

Form your own private, by-invitation, undiscoverable group. Friends and colleagues are the obvious place to start, and not too large.

I've belonged to one for almost 20 years. I think the group has varied between 10 and 20 people, a few have come and gone (and come back).

If we're talking about driving a car off a cliff or into oncoming traffic vs. hitting a person, absolutely I'm going to hit the person.

Anyways, the main thing here is that I don't want my car making some calculated moral decision.. 3 nuns vs. my current occupant. It should obviously make a reasonable effort to avoid hitting meatbags, but if doing so puts the occupant in overwhelming harms way, it shouldn't.

Anyways, I think this is going to be a 0.00001% thing, and in the case that the car may need to swerve (dangerously) to avoid hitting an obstacle, it would be able to do it with precision and care that I'm simply not capable of.. Think swerving on a highway. Pretty dangerous for me to do since I can't check my blind spots that quickly, but it always can.

What's off topic about pointing out that this interesting model of the world which you just repeated is wrong? Our brains have plenty of redundancy, but cells die and this really does impact what's going on. Radiation is randomly altering your brain at low levels that very rarely become noticeable, thinking of it in these ideal terms is pointless.

> we necessarily are limited to examining our own consciousness qualitatively

Err no. It's just as much a physical things as a rock or your toenails.

PS: The modern CPU your using to read this is to complex for any one person to understand. It has billions of connections all doing important things some of which don't work. But, it was designed so each connection is intended to do something understandable. Further, it's way to fast to understand what's going on at a second by second basis, but every individual interaction is predictable. So, that CPU is to complex to understand, but that does not mean your limited to looking at it qualitatively.
You're right to point this out, although cs702's point still stands that the letter erroneously implies that the prices in the labor market for education indicates something about the quality of the supply.

It's easy enough to write your own library for that. I'm sure some people would prefer to have it built in to the standard library, but every time you add a higher level of abstraction in there it makes the standard library bigger and harder to maintain. So it's always a trade off.

> I'm a non smoker but people do love smoking, willing to sacrifice health and $10 a pack so yeah, I would say that's okay.

For smoking in public places, I believe that falls in the same category covered by the quote, "My right to swing my fist ends where your nose begins."

People smoking in restaurants, malls, and other public places aren't just hurting their own health, but the health of those sharing that public space with their second-hand smoke. So no. Your right to slowly kill yourself with your addiction ends when you are in a public space and are slowly killing those around you.

> I'm from NYC and I have to regularly dodge drunk young adults every Sunday. Surely there are plenty of negative side effects to those individuals and those around them.

They are a harm to those around them. That's why being drunk in public is against the law and drunk tanks get filled to the brim every Friday and Saturday night. Your right to be drunk ends the moment you endanger people in public spaces.

Again, bacterial soaps fall under the same category. You want to use a product with absolutely no proven scientific benefit to yourself, but is scientifically proven to make bacteria more dangerous to those around you? Unacceptable, and since some companies and consumers are refusing to stop endangering public health, the law must step in to prevent your behavior from infringing on the rights of those around you to pursue happiness, which includes the pursuit of good health.

Your comments might be helpful to discussion if you read the article first to understand what has been already tried instead of jumping to offer a solution.
Civility does not imply that we have to discuss topics that are of interest to you.

If you want to discuss those things, you'll have to find some people who want to discuss them -- clearly, the majority here does not, and they have every right to downvote stuff they don't think belongs on the front page.
What does that accomplish? There's an "http" package on PyPI and Py3k adds an "http" package to the standard library. This does not seem meaningful. As I suggested in my downvoted comment, if you're doing `pip install os`, or `npm install --save fs`, your problems are external to the tools you've chosen.

Since 2003 I only use laptops and am fine with the limited upgrade options.

Methyl anthranilate [0], commonly used as artificial grape flavoring and naturally found in Concord grapes, is a bird repellent. They can certainly smell it, if not other odors.

> unless you also have blocks B, and C.

It suffices to have the headers of blocks B and C.
Which, at only 80 bytes per header, is quite manageable.
I doubt however it goes that deep. I mean, your demographic premise is right, but there is more than ample right (whatever you want to mean by that word, really) online population. And I don't think anybody does a careful calculation of whether we should get this slant or that slant based on how many dollars it will bring us - even if it were possible (which I'm pretty sure it's not) nobody does that in practice.

And, if you look at channels like Fox News, it has huge audience. Granted, online audience is different, but in this time and place, it's not that different. It's not 1990s anymore, using the internet is not for the elite anymore, no more than having a cellphone. Everybody now does that (not literally everybody but demographically pretty much all is covered).

So, why many online communities lean leftwards? I'd say because their organizers/maintainers lean leftwards. Those are usually people that are young, frequently college or early post-college age, frequently with background in liberal arts - that demographics leans left. And those that don't lean the same way don't feel comfortable there (and modern college left made making people disagreeing with them feel unwelcome practically into a competition sport) and leave. That'd happen and does happen with no money consideration involved.
Yeah. Like I'm a second-hand vegan. I eat animals that eat plants :)

Hail is a scalable framework for massive data analysis. It's written in Scala and built on Spark and the Hadoop ecosystem.

I'm a software engineer/mathematician, but we're embedded in a world-class genetics research lab. The first paper using Hail was put out recently:

http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/06/06/050195

with more in the pipeline. Hail is being used to analyze some of the largest genetic datasets out there (hundreds of thousands of exomes and tens of thousands of whole genomes). There's tons to do. Jump in or email me (see my profile) if you'd like to get involved. If you tell me what you're interested in, I will try to tailor a task for you. No bio knowledge needed.

So too are the laws on classified information. I would have been in jail months ago had I done what she did.

HTTPS in any form would not stop Cloudflare from doing what you describe.

Think about it, an encryption system that stops an end-point server from passing decrypted data to somewhere else
is basically impossible. It would mean finding a DRM scheme that actually worked, and we know that's impossible because of the analog hole.

The only way to stop this would be for the end-point server to be unable to decrypt the data ever, but still manipulate it. That's called homonorphic encryption and it's still only theoretical.

A meeting every other hour is definitely NOT normal. The most meetingsy places I've worked at had no more than a standup every day and longer meetings usually no more than once a week. You should try to bring some change about in the organization, or find a different place to work.
What bothers me is that price rises but those are the same crappy apartments. When a flat costs millions I'd expect it to be absolute marvel of modern technology.
It's not strictly better -- it gives a false sense of security. As you plainly showed by believing that having https at a Starbucks with an untrusted cert is safe, which it is clearly not.

Security involve both a technical and social aspect. While the unsigned cert may offer better security (but there is no way for you to know) it most certainly offers a worse social aspect, that being a false sense of security.

So I'd say you're wrong -- it is strictly worse, because it offers no better security but a worse sense of security.

Oh, okay, then. I thought you were saying that that was a problem specific to iterating by reference.
So I guess the purpose is to find center-of-mass of a large collection of points, without using all those points for calculation (instead using only the ones inside a pre-defined radius)?
IANAL. It depends on who is at fault. If you are driving your car down the highway and a pedestrian jumps in front of you so close that there is nothing you can do...

In DC, there's a big glut in foreign capital flowing in from foreign oligarchs and elites, particularly from Russia and China.

Not only the performance results are good, I also like
the brevity and elegance of the code.
The only downside is that the examples don't work out of the box, but require an external library.
Ah yes, you're right, I was thinking of it that way. Thanks a bunch for your clear and thorough explaination, it makes a lot of sense! So if I understand what you're saying, a 1x1 convolutional layer for collapsing 100 channels to 10 channels would take a 100x512x512 tensor and collapse it to a 10x512x512 tensor?

[Also, sorry for attempting to answer your quesiton incorrectly. I was thinking of putting a disclaimer saying I hadn't worked with CNNs and so might be misunderstanding what the convolutions are doing; probably should have haha]

Maybe when the author was saying 'one can think the 1x1 convolutions are against the original principles of LeNet', he was anticipating my kind of confusion? :)
What luxuries can you do without? Cut them out for a while. Having a habit of eating out can be a huge spending source, for instance. Make coffee/tea at home.

Sell some stuff. Do you have any valuable items you don't especially have any attachment to? Maybe a second laptop or other expensive electronics? Furniture? Bonus: Having less stuff can be liberating.

Finally, if you haven't already, ask for a raise. If you're not full-time, ask for more hours.

This is easier said than done of course, but if you're worried about money and already have a job, your employer may not be compensating you appropriately.
When I worked at a big corp, we talked about this issue at some point.

We started literally putting up a cost clock, that ticked off the running cost of a meeting. It was surprisingly convincing and motivating for everyone, even (especially?) our external customers who were previously happy to sit and chat for hours.

That said, there's a reason I don't work at a 'big corp' anymore :)
