>Why else would minority groups be over represented in prisons

I find that interesting. And it's also interesting that certain minorities are overrepresented in prisons outside the United States as well.

> Generally lower educated.

Well the cat is out of the bag that the poor performing minority schools are actually getting more funding per-pupil than majority white schools. So what's the problem, is it because of white males in the U.S. somehow?

> Compensated at a lower level

Do you know how easy it is for an average-skilled black man or woman to get hired in their trade? Do you know that if you're say an electrician's union, you will get placed on vastly more projects than white workers just because of skin color and project demographic scoring? Do you know that once even a private company grows to a certain point they begin getting hounded by the gov't and private groups over their demographics? The structural racism is not only a lie it goes in the opposite direction. Anyone who works in gov't, education or private trades knows this full well.
I noticed the simplistic language used too. But I found it refreshing as the author is able to cite more external material while keeping the reader's (or at least, my) attention to the core message. No distracting jargon or flowery language were employed. But it could also be how my simple mind functions too..

I'm enthusiastic that Intel is working on optimizing Torch's Tensor and nn libraries, and optimizing Neural Nets in general.

This repo is most definitely not ready for primetime.

Two comments:

1. I haven't seen an Intel team that does non-trivial DNN optimizations, almost all the (multiple) teams that have worked on optimizing neural networks have worked on trivial stuff like adding OpenMP optimizations to existing code, and integrating MKL into existing frameworks. Usually adding OpenMP optimizations isn't as relevant, because one uses CPUs for neuralnet inference, on a server where multiple processes are running. Per-core efficiency is much more important than cute threadpool optimizations like OpenMP which look great in micro-benchmarks.

The meaty and practically relevant optimizations have come from folks in the community like Andrew Lavin and Marat Dukhan ( https://github.com/Maratyszcza/NNPACK ) which are focused more on optimizing both single-core efficiency as well as multi-core.

2. The way this fork integrates MKLDNN into Torch is not great, where they add MKLDNN fields into the core Tensor / Storage struct, which is not great from a broader perspective. I will try to reach out to the authors and make this more proper.

p.s.: torch installs in a self-contained folder already as pointed by @gcr
I would be happy with very basic support. Just something that can save messages and connection urls. A nice JSON viewer/editor like you have already would be very helpful to me as well. The current options for websocket testing aren't that great.

You buy Rhino horn, you are responsible for buying illegal goods and creating demand. (which is not equal to actually killing a Rhino or a human being!)

If you buy an illegaly obtained human heart, are you not culpable for the death of the former owner?

If you hire a mercenary to obtaining a human heart, are you completely free from all blame for the subsequent murder?

Ooh - I like your yo-yo concept a lot.
A lot of the adoption curve comes from the economics too. The same thing 10 times cheaper is a revolution itself.

We had 3D printers in the 80s, but 3D printers starting becoming a lot cheaper only in the past ~5 years.

1870 PV cells were a pretty piss poor energy source, the real revolution happened in the last 10 years when they started to become an economic competitor.
It's true that innovation process used to take a long time. See the story of the telegraph for example, which was clearly a breakthrough, but took half a century to be adopted (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Victorian_Internet).

Nowadays, the process might take a lot lot less time than before though (http://waitbutwhy.com/2015/01/artificial-intelligence-revolu...)

And also - let's remember that it's not because something goes through the first steps of this seven-step path that it will become a breakthrough.

Lock makes sense to me, even if I don't think it is the best description.

I don't disagree with the thesis of the article for inventions that were destined to be successful but I think it exhibits a strong sense of surviorship bias in predicting anything contemporary to be in the same league. I think transformative inventions like airplanes or index funds can by definition only be defined in retrospect and the odds that anything contemporary can be predicted to turn out the same way are slim. I wonder what a good order of magnitude would be for failed inventions vs successful ones, maybe 10000:1?

I'll add that when I see no Pricing page it causes me suspicion, what's the catch? how am I being dataminded?
I'd at the least explain somewhere on the page how pricing works or how this is free and funded.
Back in the real world, contracts have a lot to do with intent. Generally, if you didn't intend to give money to whoever picks it up first, a court would rule that nobody but the intended recipient has the right to pick up the money.

Even if you leave a duffel bag full of money beside a motorway, it's not legally the property of whoever picks it up first. That would be a perfectly reasonable legal argument. In order to give it away to whoever picks it up first, you need to create clear intent - a posting in plain English, for example. Making it easy to pick up isn't intent to allow anyone to pick it up.

Code isn't contract, and behaviour isn't contract either.

I like the concept. I've been interested in the idea of dedicated bluetooth pairing between two little audio connectors for awhile now. Having a bluetooth speaker with two different people who would like to use it, maybe it's just me but I would still prefer to unplug from one headphone jack to the other than have to both mess with our smartphones.
Conversely, pricing is one of the first things I look for (on the assumption that good tools cost money but provide value).

If you're always going to have a free version, great put that on the pricing page along with any premium options, but don't make me go hunting through your site to find what paid options you have.

There's this social network that all of us readers have been using since birth and will continue to use for life: the city. It also delivers connections, content and clout. It keeps growing the userbase eventhough friction is huge, content quality mostly sucks and clout for new users is a far-fetched dream.

My point: maybe Facebook is the first online-city and is here forever.

Ps: so far I am the only e-hermit I know that has left FB. Yet, once my kids grow and join FB I may need to re-join to go visit them.
We were. Then people realized "Gen X" was insanely broad, and they split us off into "Gen Y", which never stuck because that was one of the stupidest names ever conceived.

Then it's like none of that ever happened and we're part of the generation who has never known life without the Internet and still don't know what Hammer Pants are.

Don't worry, it's not supposed to make sense. It'll all get redefined again before we're 50.
"They" have not.

Even the underground in Manhattan is crowded. Manhattan is basically an island of very hard, solid metamorphic rock. Most of the city is plenty shot through with tunnels and foundations, and underground car garages.

You could probably ask the sanitation department why they haven't explored these options:

Also, "terror alert levels" are not a thing, and really haven't been, since like... 2004? And probably only lasted that long, since 2004 was an election year, for "you know who."

The article should emphasize one little important detail. This is written about millennials in USA. Which only represents 1/10(?) of all millennials out there. If you take everyone (around the world) into account this conclusion might turn upside down. But to this article's point - Career obsessed, medication and anxiety infused young generation in america - somehow I am not surprised.
The 7 step process shows us how the majority of people are "dumb". And by dumb, I mean they lack the creative ability to look forward and imagine how a technology can change the world.

Those of us who are not suffering that disability should not feel guilty for our capabilities, but we should recognize that we are intellectually superior, because we should be ruling the world from every corner, not them. Sadly, many of them are the ones running governments and giant corporations.

The same could be asked about soldiers, teachers, and many others. Funding doesn't correlate well at all with to importance to society.

Football coaches are the highest paid employees of very many universities in the U.S., more than Nobel prize winning scientists, world-changing artists and social scientists, and life-saving doctors. Bench-riding professional athletes usually make more than the general commanding all U.S. forces in the Mideast.
> why are the subways so hot?

I believe the biggest cause is the heat from braking the cars all day. There is no regenerative braking in the system and the older trains have crude speed control so they're constantly braking to scrub speed between stops for curves and work zones. It all gets dumped as heat into the tunnels.

Methinks that this may be because millenials are the first generation with ready universal access to unlimited Internet porn, which only really started in the mid 2000s with the emergence of the tube sites and everyone getting a smartphone.

Over at reddit.com/r/nofap (debatably NSFW) there is actually a non-religious backlash to the whole thing, essentially saying that the key to improving every aspect of one's life is giving up porn.

I'm not a millenial so maybe the millenials on HN can explain it. I keep reading that millenials don't like human interaction. Things like prefering to wait in line at a kiosk to order food when there is an order taking human available with no waiting. Preference for online ordering a pizza so there is no need to speak to a human order taker on the phone. Stare at social media on a mobile device rather than socialize with physical humans. It's no wonder there's less sex going on.

I used to think it was Facebook and the like that turned an entire generation into social retards. But the effect seems to predate social media.

I have worked at the Airport a few years and I am starting to see that what the problem is, is the Airport. Originally, it was so that people who owned airplanes could fly their planes there. Which for many years worked out really well. The Airport is self sufficient, a team of Volunteer's operate it and they smooth out all the necessary BS with BLM and FAA.

However, the Airport is the way that the people who don't contribute anything to Burning Man get into Burning Man. They need to go back to non-commerical flight only.
Yep. Developers need to earn money. If I don't see a pricing page I start to wonder about how they are making their money, and more importantly if they have a sustainable business model. I don't want to rely on a tool that then goes out of business.

The Windows installer is 60MB and it's 64-bit-only? It has a nice fancy GUI and all, but am I the only one thinking that's just a tiny bit... excessive? Especially when it claims to be "A simple and beautiful REST API client". The Mac OS and Linux versions are a bit smaller, but still not quite what I consider "simple".

Also, did anyone else instinctively try decoding that Authorization header in one of the screenshots? :-)
> They should be held to a higher standard than everyone else, or at least an equal one, but not a lesser one.

This isn't logically possible, if they had to obey the same rules, they wouldn't have any police powers:

- use of force to subdue someone (would otherwise be assault)
- handling of evidence that is otherwise prohibited (drugs, munitions, etc.)
- physically detaining people, which would be considered kidnapping by anyone else

The police have an elevated authority by definition. Certainly there should be (and are) constraints on this authority, it isn't unlimited, but it is too simplistic to simply say they have to obey the same rules as everyone else.
I've been considering it. I want to wait until development settles down a bit, but open sourcing it definitely in the back of my mind.

You said you were a financial adviser to blue collar field owners. I'm presuming past tense (correct me if I'm wrong). I'm curious as to when your experience with blue collar professionals happened if not currently.

I say that because pre 2007, the picture you paint with the experiences you had with these people seem accurate and in lock step with their employees. Those were the same interactions I had working a blue collar job during that time. The housing bubble was the gravy train. Pay was good. Work was plentiful. Raises were frequent. Perks were ample. I heard that across housing related fields.

Post recession has been a different story altogether. And it's been these times which caused me to spit vitriol and emotional strawmans at less than well-thought-out statements.

While I agree with you that we have no idea what has caused a stagnate wadge among many blue collar industries, the "why" is something for academics. It is, we agree. And there isn't much to evidence to refute it. Which is why I find your argument confusing. You readily admit that wadges stagnate, yet are befuddled as to why the unemployed don't flock to these available jobs. An information gap? These days? Seems dubious.

It would seem you have your riddle to solve.

One step you could take towards solving that riddle is ask those in your circles (and yes, I'm sure our circles are different) what their entry level employee turnover rate is. There will be a lot of revealing information in that question, provided they answer you truthfully.

And maybe you can square this circle for me.

Wadges have stagnated (agreement).
Housing market turned around in 2012 and is now booming in most parts of the country (my assessment, but if you need proof, I'm happy to provide).

Where did that money go if not to the laborer? Rising costs ate away at everything? Really? I guess I'll need sources for that.

And look, I've heard many a story from many an owner/job provider. My experience has been, the true craftsmen who made it, work in small skilled teams and had (admittedly) good breaks. I love those guys, and am genuinely envious.

The financially successful ones are innate salesmen and have no qualms with watering down the product to boost profits. They're the ones quick to tell you their tale of perseverance and self-sacrifice (maybe these guys are in your circles?). They could also teach Machiavelli a lesson or seven.

So forgive my experience. It's all I got.

It's based on the Electron framework (http://electron.atom.io/) so the installer contains an entire copy of the Chromium browser. I agree that it's large, but it's basically the only option for an indie developer to write a cross-platform app. Also, 32 bit support is possible, but is a bit of work and demand hasn't been high enough to spend time on it.

People selling stolen goods on craigslist almost always use a bait and switch scheme. They will list one item, and when they get a response, they'll say, "oh I sold that bike, but I also have this very similar one for sale..."

It was not long ago that a lot of the opposition to Internet porn were claiming it would cause everyone to start having a lot more sex and all the problems coming from that. Apparently not.
Well it may be annoying advise, but it works. My wife and I have a nice, newer BMW that we take out to nice events, dinner, long trips etc. Then we also have a very cheap 20 year old Volvo that we run errands in, get groceries in, go to crappy neighborhoods with, let people borrow it, and things like that. It really is nice to have a car you don't care about. Volvo gets hit in a parking lot? Tell the other driver not to worry about it, shrug it off, and go on with your day. No big deal. It's really sort of liberating. That said, I don't bike much, but if I did, I could definitely see myself with a nice bike and a "junk" bike for similar reasons. Definitely pretty reasonable advice
For any living group of people, these labels and boundaries are relatively arbitrary. It will likely evolve over the next few decades (and beyond) as the cultural shifts that occurred become more apparent / distinct.
