Seriously... I was just reading the examples and thinking to myself "why would I use this over vanilla D3"? The syntax isn't more concise and offers less control, and introduces a whole new api to learn. To me this is like writing a DOM manipulation framework on top of jQuery...
I've had a condom fail on me and it was fucking traumatic. I am not going through that again. My friends had total failures too. Me and my exgf just opted for NuvaRings and they were hassle free and side-effects free. Also, proper use of one is pretty straightforward, so it is way more probable to have the perfect 0.3% rate (typical 9%) compared to condoms that you have to get right every SINGLE time (TYPICAL is 82%)

Is Samsung cheating with its Galaxy Note 7 recall?
I'm less skeptical than fchollet (creator of Keras, for those here who don't know), but agree that we need to wait until the usual suspects at Google, FaceBook, Toronto, Montreal, Stanford, etc. have replicated this. In all likelihood the team will release code soon, either before or after NIPS, so we will all be able to check things out for ourselves.
What follows from the attitude that "Of course allies spy on each other" is that one would expect a greater effort to create secure systems and enable actual autonomy in decision-making and confidential communications in carrying out state decisions.

In fact what we have in a US empire implemented in part through interlocking relationships in the Deep State: Militaries talk directly to the US military outside of control by elected officials and so do intelligence officers. The US sphere of influence uses US technology that enables US spying.
Here's a more in-depth nod of approval from the original artist:

On the face of it this looks more like studying than learning. The distinction is not meaningless. I studied French for six years and passed an exam at the end. However despite all this activity I have never been able to converse in French. By a variant of Gell-Mann Amnesia effect, I conclude that I cannot do mathematics either.
It's commonly taught that way.

A dye bomb is used for aerial crash/rescue. That would contaminate a surface, but also provide a possible visual marker. Maybe several launched away from the lander, but which could be used to triangulate it, in the rare case that might actually be of interest.

I suspect there's a lot of re-thinking of how to land on a comet going on as well.
Many people dislike EP intensely (and have attacked its developers, such as Steven Pinker) because they are passionate (I'd say fanatical) believers that culture is what defines us, not biology. So yes, you can find a lot of hate for EP. That doesn't mean much.

If you have studied EP or even human nature at all, then you realize quite rapidly that the blank slate proponents (who claim we're born with nothing in our minds, waiting for culture to define us) are delusional in some profound way.

It is clear, and Pinker makes this argument well in his book The Blank Slate, that we're the product of biology (EP) tuned and shaped by our environment.

To claim that this, decades of careful documented research and reproducible results, is magical thinking and not science is... hallucinatory.

> Concurrency control != concurrency though.

Concurrency is simply the situation where two or more processes need exclusive access to a shared resource, so it's fair to say that, whenever there's concurrency, there's a need for concurrency control.
From the article:

It could also be an error in the self reporting population; it's socially more "acceptable" to say you use contraception, even when you don't.

I love this sentence. I'm not sure it is true, but it is nonetheless a great sentence.
Rails at least used to do this when reading back from a database (eg if you had a nullable string field it would come back as nil if it happened to be the literal "nil")

Edit: IIRC there was a directive that would prevent the behavior though?
Both stars are close to our sun in size.

The visible area in square-arc-seconds (and thus the brightness) of Beta as seen from Alpha (and vice versa) should be about (1/11)^2 = 0.8 % or about the same as an overcast day on Earth.

I think I read that stable planet orbits would be impossible, but I suppose a planet could still have a stable orbit around one of the Lagrange points.

Then it should have each star at equal distance, at 90 deg angle, right? If so, it would have 4 phases of daylight - night, Alpha, both suns and Beta.
Pragmatically I believe you are correct. I think negative whole numbers and zero are also a subset of "whole numbers" along with positive whole numbers.
Indeed, a very interesting read! Can you list references or is this all original research?

About the rule breakers and psychopaths - I think most people actually switch to reward/punishment reasoning for rule following when empathy and social feedback is lacking. For example, if you know that no one will get hurt (eg running a red light with no cars around) the reasoning switches primarily to risk/reward (are there cameras or cops?) and habits (mental shortcuts and pathways that have been reinforced).

Most of our decisions are made out of habits trained on common situations, and only when the underlying assumptions are violated do we start re-evaluating the stories and heuristics we tell ourselves for our actions.
It is like saying that nuclear fusion is wonderful in theory but not so much in practice, while we know that the biggest energy source of our galaxy is coming from a thing that uses fusion to generate its energy. We are at the beginning of the technical era, that first needs to revolutionise energy production and storage that will be required for space travel. I have high hopes in graphene and carbon nanotube tech.
Seems to be an interesting case of a "false friend" then. The direct translation from/to German ("ganze Zahl"/"Ganzzahl") is very clearly defined as including the negative ones, and taught as such, in contrast to the natural numbers.
I don't know the timeout for that, but after some time no tor node would work without the dirs being present, or being manually pointed to new ones.

The question is whether someone would want to subvert or rather just shut down the tor network.

The easiest process to learn anything quickly.
1. Choose a specific skill that you find useful and that intrigues you.
2. Break down the skills into basic, practical steps, find the most important steps to practice first.
3. Gather up books, videos, articles and podcasts related to your skill. Find out somebody who is already expert at the skill you want to learn and get help from him.
4. Deliberate practice will always result in improvements. Stop reading. Start doing. The more you practice, the faster you learn.
5. Set a deadline.
6. Don’t multitask at all.Turn off any kind of distractions.
7. Get feedback instantly to know what success looks like quickly.
The suggestion, I think, is to have both, under the assumption that one extra low-res single-purpose camera would be relatively easy to add. Once you find it with one camera, you can find it with the other.
I am curious. Sweden is a very practical and policy driven place, is the local government addressing those housing issues in some form? I know this has been an issue for some time now. I'd be interested to hear what the local discourse is on that.
Anular velocity might also be too high to get a suitable impression. Three separate scans would be shifted leaving a rainbow-blurred image. Still lifes are easier (e.g., geostationary shots of Earth, Mars rover shots).

>> You cannot buy new stuff on a constant basis

Uh, yes I can. Play de Record, where I live here in Toronto alone would have more than enough to satisfy my lust for both brand new releases... I have 'Views' by Drake, I have 'To Pimp a Butterfly' by Kendrick Lamar, I have 'A Moon Shaped Pool' by Radiohead...I haven't been able to find a new release that I have lusted after for I haven't been able to get...not to mention the scores of breaks and house/techno I'm able to score that would be hard to find online...

>> you don't have friends that only know vinyl

Again, not true at all. Not 'only' vinyl, but a lot of our friends are really getting into it and don't consider a lot of other stuff, especially in conversation.

Vinyl has made a huge resurgence in the last 5-10 years. Our band is looking at pressing ourselves. <3
> e.g. if a high-end CPU has bad transistors in a section of the cache, that section of the cache is disabled and the CPU can carry on its life as a Celeron

For me, that's the part that is really fascinating about the fab industry. We have a statistically-reliable method of fabbing, but we build in the necessary fallbacks in the chip design itself that if a chip partially fails quality control, we can scale it back and sell it as lower-end product. It's intriguingly analogous to the quality process in gemstones, except that chips aren't found---they're made via mechanisms that we can't perfectly control.
>I don't mean to offend, but being able to prove things is generally the main focus of advanced mathematics.

That rather depends on the field. For engineers, the main focus of advanced mathematics is to be able to apply it to real world problems.
Benz and Audi and BMW can sell their products into an existing transport system. Fuel of the correct octane is generally available. The dealer network can support itself on maintenance fees as well as sales commissions.

Telsa has to build the transport system. They need to get people interested in deploying charging stations. They need to build a distribution system that doesn't depend on US$5000 per year in maintenance fees from each customer. They need to overcome range anxiety.

In this they have common cause with Nissan (Leaf) and GM (Bolt and Volt). But they're head-to-head with the big European high-end carmakers. A car maker switching to electric power is like a computer hardware maker switching to software: it disrupts the sales process so dramatically that it's very hard to do successfully.

As a (well-to-do hipster) Tesla Model S customer, I hope I don't end up getting stuck with the Betamax of charging connectors. I hope the various EV makers can sort out the J1772 / ChaDEmo / Tesla connector issue pretty soon.
It would make developers (or anyone doing a job for someone else) lives substantially easier if people behaved the way you think they should, but the reality is that 99% of the time they aren't doing something that most people would consider to be lying, they're just being people.
> If you boil the question down to art: "anyone" has been able to do art for a very long time, and art is not dead.

No, but it can change. Centuries ago, there was a certain magnificence to seeing a famous work of art. Reprinting was difficult and there was no internet. Now, I can load up everything in the Louvre on my laptop.

The growth of DJs post digitalization is not necessarily good or bad, but it does change the experience.

They compare it to silicon. But what about other semiconductors like SiGe, InGaAs, etc.

As far as I know intel&co already aim to integrate some of those into future processes.
When and How to Estimate Software Projects
As with most attacks, the human is the weak link. Self-driving trucks, and self-driving ships, will both reduce theft. You can't threaten and/or bribe the driver. No driver means no need for the driver to sleep or pee. There will be no limits on the driver's duty cycle, and hence less exposure hazards. No driver means no need to provide convenient controls for diversion.

If they were to commit resources to this situation, a simple, tiny, low power radio beacon would be an option.

Rather than search for it, let it tell Rosetta where it is.

The problem with this is that even though the beacon could be only a few grams and use micro-watts (1 milliwatt transmission 1/1000th of the time?) of energy, Rosetta would need a receiver capable of picking it up.

I assume Rosetta has something like software defined radio but due to when it was designed, not sure if this is the case. In any case Rosetta is loaded with really sophisticated radio gear probably it could be build such that there is no weight or energy penalty for this.

Wish more NASA folk would read hacker news and could chime in

Why would they have to streamline this? They actually are building cars that fit their (very loyal and wide) customer base. Some people want the sporty Passat CC, others want the Allroad version. We don't need Appleization of all markets :/
> The biggest problem I see is that society and the increasingly winner-take-all economy make it easy (and often economically rational) to feel like anything but the best is a failure.

Even if the economy isn't "winner take all", mating generally is. And that's a completely different issue.
As opposed to at least trying to think a bit.

If you think relativism is fine. Then "As opposed to planting your flag in the ground that your camp is always right and the outgroup is evil?" is also fine.

See how silly and immediately self-contradictory relativism is?
I'm sorry to say it's mostly original research, though I did do a lot of research into the studies people have done on the various emotions and particularly their physical manifestations. I did not keep references because I was lazy and generally don't do that (this is not academic work and I absolutely want to keep it readable for non-academics).

Regarding rules, I suspect we apply different sets of rules in different situations. Running a red light breaks "would the cops catch me?" yet does not break "would my friends be angry with me?"

I've not looked into habits much. They are obviously powerful shortcuts that save on cognitive workload.

It seems as of late ,especially since 2013, there is huge demand for learning complicated mathematics, coding, and trading algorithms. It's like the AP-math class of high school, but as of 2013 expanded to include almost everyone, not just a dozen students lol. This recent obsession with math and finance is described in more detail.....

Obsession with Math? Where do you live where people have math obsessions? Where I live STEM graduates are a massive minority (We had an HN article on the front page about this very topic just yesterday) Mathematics is some sort of taboo magic in the eyes of 99.99% of humans, not something anybody studies to gain prestige, status or global notoriety. Your average citizen can't even name one mathematician.

People observe, read headlines about high-IQ founders, venture capitalists, and coders making tons of money in Web 2.0 (Uber, Pinterest, Snaphat, Dropbox, etc.); STEM people getting tons of prestige, status, and global notoriety for their finding (Arxiv physics and math papers frequently go viral); and how the economy, especially as of 2008, rewards intellectualism and STEM in terms of higher wages and surging asset prices (like stocks (the S&P 500 has nearly tripled since the 2009 bottom), web 2.0 valuations (Snapchat is worth $15 billion, on its way to $50 billion), and real estate (Palo Also home prices have doubled since 2011)), and, understandably, many people want a piece of the wealth pie. They see that intellect - which includes STEM, finance, and also quantitative finance - is the path to both riches and social status (as embodied by wealthy geniuses like Musk, Thiel, Zuckerberg, Shkreli)....

There is NOTHING genius about narcissistic photo-sharing websites or SnapChat. These are just illusive innovations, a fools-paradise for the masses. Not only that, but the "social status" of these founders you mention has rarely left the confines of the tech-world anyway, if you want social status in our society go to acting school and move to Hollywood. I mean..... this world you mention where STEM students gain so much prestige and math papers go.... viral? Where is this world? What planet are you posting from? Which galaxy is it located in? Is this post of yours real-life or am I dreaming?
NASA and ESA's recent push to land things on comets and asteroids makes me pause and wonder if they have in the last decade or so calculated the orbit of an object that concerns them.
Are you so naive to think that the upper government level isn't aware of what they are doing?
I was taught to beatmatch on CDJs a few years ago. Going from having never touched a CDJ before to being able to beatmatch two (fairly straightforward) house tracks reasonably well if given enough time took about an hour. Learning the basics is fairly easy, but that doesn't make you a DJ.

I think you're underestimating what it means to perform a physically demanding job. It's not like that weekend you spent painting your appartment. It is something you do five days a week, for weeks and months on end. In my late thirties I was sick of being a software developer and I did a two year stint of being an electrician for a big construction company. It was a wonderful experience and I learned a ton of stuff about a ton of stuff, but in the end I was very happy to go back to a heated room where I can work sitting in an ergonomic chair while sipping a cup of coffee. Honestly, if your body was not trained to do this from your late teens or early twenties you will likely not last.

What I know is stories from articles such as this: http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2014-05-13/health/ct-met-...

I know it wasn't covered by insurance when I was younger (I'm in my late 30's), though I didn't know it would be somewhat risky for me to be pregnant at the time, if it is possible at all. I've simply never wanted children, and the procedure wasn't covered by insurances let alone finding a doctor that would do it. I don't know if they became something covered under the recent health care changes as I don't live in the states any longer. I'd often not been able to pay the copayment anyway, unfortunately.

From an insurance perspective, the cost-effective and less risky option is to do birth control, either pills, shots, or IUD's to prevent such a thing from happening, I'd think.

> d3 is robust because it's great code that's widely used - not because of it's other design choices.

I disagree very much. On top of the facts you mentioned, the main reason why d3 works where others don't is because it doesn't abstract away as much from the end user. Leaky abstractions will always, always come back and bite you in the you-know-where.
Unless you work on graphics, physics, signal analysis, sound, trading, data science, computer vision, machine learning, etc... it's hard as a software engineer to be exposed to math past the basics, meaning that you can survive without having to go beyond arithmetic.

You might still get some exposure to discrete mathematics once in a while. Statistics is always there to help you, some people avoid it, some others embrace it.
So is it always changing whixh one of these is closest to us?
No, an empty field represents "" - the empty string. NULL and "" are not the same thing.

That might suffice for solving real-world problems, but not for doing mathematics itself: Intuition will get you a long way, but for working out some of the finer details, you'll have to resort to rigour. Furthermore, without having gone through the rigorous training, you might not even know when your intuition doesn't reach far enough.

Terence Tao[0] put it this way:

»The point of rigour is not to destroy all intuition; instead, it should be used to destroy bad intuition while clarifying and elevating good intuition. It is only with a combination of both rigorous formalism and good intuition that one can tackle complex mathematical problems; one needs the former to correctly deal with the fine details, and the latter to correctly deal with the big picture.«
