From following the local fire brigade it seems that the most common source of alarms is people forgetting a frying pan or similar.
I'm not very experienced with low-level programming, but doesn't the single-responsibility principle suggest that a purpose-built module should handle packing/unpacking of memory objects even if you are writing this module by hand? I'm sure there are cases where even the overhead of calling and running these procedures is too much, but in many cases no further optimization would be needed.

Assuming you're taking about Andrew Ng's Stanford ML course, I had the same impression until I realized that the actual Stanford ML course is a lot harder and theory-heavy. Basically, the Coursera thing is a more practical, watered-down (less math) version of the real Stanford course (which btw you can still find on Youtube, though it may be a bit dated)...
> In theory, but not in practice.

Yes, thank you, that was the joke. Apparently far too subtle.
I guess that can be useful, but the third line is a list of Peugeot models, not Renault. The real Renault line also misses at least the Zoé model, so I think you still need to work on your data a little bit.

Also, there's the problem of which old models have to be included, since there are both discontinued models that are included, and others that aren't: maybe it would be better to include production dates which each model?

Ah and I think you should take advantage of JSON's unique charset encoding to include accents in your data (like Citroën).

Sorry for the criticism, but I think your project would gain from a little bit more consistency.
There's really no good argument for big-endian encoding except that it's the ordering that we humans use in writing. And not even always that. We call our numbering system "Arabic", but for the Arabs, it little-endian.

For some reason humans seem to want high powers on the left, even if it makes no sense in a left-to-right language.

Take polynomials, they are typically written big-endian

ax^2 + bx + c

But infinite series have to be little-endian.

c_0 + c_1*x + c_2*x^2 ....

If you think for a moment about how you would write multiplication, you will see the latter form is much easier to reason about and program with.

Winter is a great time to visit. I recommend avoiding the weekend if you can, because it does get crowded.

This year, since the rainfall has been good, there will probably be some frozen waterfalls.
I hesitated to post this, because I don't want to lend any support to spurious rumors about Hillary Clinton's health. But if this incident is related to a bona fide medical issue, it might be an important development in what's been a very unusual campaign.

The DSA key recommendation is terrible, either go 4096 RSA or Ed25519/Curve25519.

This happens basically everywhere though. Name recognition is critical. For example, in Naples you have the very famous Pompeii (overcrowded with tourists), the less famous Herculaneum (just as impressive, smaller, light crowds), and the spectacular Villa Poppaea (deserted). Do visit the later if you get the chance.
Somehow I doubt that's the solution either, you can get to that same link by just using the Careers menu item.

I imagine he means that the natives/first peoples don't have full property rights like those outside of reservations have. If I understand correctly, much of the land on reservations is "communal" (communist or the extream end of "socialist"). Apparently, there's a big issue getting title to land which according to the following article, explains the abundance of mobile homes on reservations:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/johnkoppisch/2011/12/13/why-are-...

Part of the typical "bundle of rights" in property ownership is the ability to abstract natural resources (plant, animal, mineral, energy). Without true property rights and ability for land to serve as collateral, the risk of capital lending is very high. You can't finance a home, you can't invest in a manufacturing plant, you can't get a farm loan, you can't mine the land, (both due to lack of mineral rights and that no bank will loan money for the equipment).

This is why reservations are poor; same reasons socialist/communist states were/are poor: Tragedy of the commons. This type of land socialism should not be confused with "social" safety nets like health care and social security. If I were a native, I'd be pretty pissed if the "white man" were running his pipelines through my territory, ancestral or not, while I got little in return. In my opinion, the reservations should be brought under the legal jurisdiction of the United States and treated as US territories.

Haven't read the paper yet. But I expect to see a control where they plate the same starter culture directly on each log scale antibiotic concentration (1,10,100,1000) to see if it contained resistant bacteria from the get go. Thus testing if resistant mutants were always present in a population or they arise and are selected for by evolutionary process.

It is the origin of mutants that is the more interesting question.

Why people drink diet soda? If someone cares about his sugar intake, why not skip the soda and drink some water?

It also amazes me how people associate some dishes to sodas. For example, at lunch with my colleagues (I'm in France), I observed that when they eat a pizza or a burger, they order a soda. But if they eat a salad, they order a bottle of water!

(I don't like sodas so my opinion is probably oriented)

Interestingly, Boeing 747-8F is even bigger, heavier, and carries more load.

Well, it can carry the same load as both of those planes combined, which really put things into perspective.
Yes, that's correct, though it doesn't mean NY and NYC don't outsource/insource service at rates that're unreasonably by any measure either due to cost or failure to provide reasonable service.

For examples, funding for pensions assumes that the state will maintain a set population of prisoners - which to me seems at odds of what longer objectives should be.
So in th US Sweden would fall into either strict or unstrict if required states depending on if provisional ballots are offered if no id is presented and if they are validated with either signatures or further id. But every state allows mail in ballots without id.

I love how simple and helpful this page is. It tells you what this distro is, describes its default behavior and how to change it (e.g. systemd/sysvinit, single-user/multi-user), gives you the default credentials and links to ISOs describing which you should use ("for older PC") all on one page.

Compare that to ubuntu.com which takes 5 clicks just to get to the download and has none of the above information easily available.
Terahertz waves range in length from 1 micrometer to 1 millimeter. These are far too large to be able to image things at the scales of crystals. (That's part of why X-rays are used for crystallography - they provide higher resolution than visible light, because the wavelength is shorter.)
Absentee ballot 'hoops'? I realize that voting laws vary by state, but the 'hoop' you speak of in California was me checking a single box one time years ago. Every election since that time I've been sent a mail-in ballot form which I can fill out early and mail in, or drop off at the polling place on Election Day.

Barely qualifies as a 'hoop' to jump through, and I fail to see how any other vote-by-mail system could be easier.
Ok. But if for some bizarre reason lacking a Nobel prize, people multiply non-linearly, then BI will not be sustainable, correct? And that constraint defies the definition of post-scarcity.
> It feels like totalitarianism to me. What if I feel that a certain election is a sham, and prefer not to participate? Democratic regimes should be sane enough so that people want to vote. Too many people not wanting to vote should be taken as a signal that something is seriously wrong.

I disagree. Compulsory voting is incredibly important, because it ensures that everyone is represented. You can even enter a blank or invalid vote if you think the election is a sham. People who claim that "those who don't care about politics shouldn't vote" don't believe in a true democracy. In a true democracy you don't accept that 30-40% of your population is not represented because they didn't show up to vote.
This is a very good point. I think many people are so caught up in bashing the hype train around big data and data science that they just casually dismiss these incredibly valid points. It's not necessarily about how big your data is right now, but how big your data will be in the very near future. Retooling then is often a lot more difficult than just tooling properly up front, so even if some Spark operations might seem to add unnecessary overhead right now the lower transition cost down the road is often worth it.
Call me a pessimist, but I don't think people will "change behavior" just because somebody told them to. They won't change even if they begin to suffer for it. Homes in parts of Southern Florida are already getting flooded on a regular basis, even in clear weather. Are those homeowners burning less gas because of it? Not really.

The high oil prices of the early 2010s did little to curb CO2 production worldwide. People really don't want to change unless they're too poor to afford fossil fuels, and making everyone poor is probably not a good solution, either. Calling for abstinence doesn't work in energy consumption any more than it does in sex education. To hope otherwise is wishful thinking.

More depressing is the fact that even if a lot of us drastically reduced our carbon footprint right now, what's going to happen is going to happen anyway. The amount of CO2 that's already in the atmosphere is enough to cause catastrophe over the next few decades.

So I think the scientific and engineering prowess of the world would be better spent trying to help people cope with the consequences of global warming than trying to persuade them to change their habits. This Titanic is going down no matter how hard you try to steer it away from that iceberg. Stop wasting time trying to argue with people who think the ship is okay. Use that time to build more lifeboats instead, because we barely have any time to do even that.

Use nuclear power to sequester massive amounts of CO2 someplace deep. Bulld walls around major coastal cities. Relocate people in vulnerable areas to higher ground. Start planting crops that tolerate heat better, and move current crops further north -- there's gonna be a lot of newly arable land in Canada and Russia. Use desalination and new agricultural techniques to fight against drought. Put more research into malaria prevention, or better yet, exterminate mosquitoes altogether. (A very large portion of projected loss of life associated with global warming is due to 1. drought and 2. increased mosquito activity.)
> The authors conducted a large-scale study of browser extensions from the Chrome web store and found that many extensions tamper with the CSP of a page. Hence, they propose an endorsement mechanism that allowed an extension to ask the web page for permission before changing the security policy.

Terrible idea, and scary. A user agent should never requires permissions from a site for its served content to be modified.

At most I rather propose having a new permission in the extension API to inform the user that an extension requires the ability to relax a Content Security Policy (further restricting the effective Content Security Policy would not require any special permission).

Of those three I've only been to the Grand Canyon, my family otherwise went to more obscure places including very obscure ones where my father hunted elk, and it's as you say. Is there anywhere else in the US where you can stand on one bank of a river and look out/down/whatever at a tributary for miles and miles and miles? The whole thing certainly made a grand impression on me, even after previously seeing many amazing mountains and mountain ranges.

The other scary bit is that the 100x is toxic to humans, and that they cannot add any more drug to the 1000x because they've reached the limits of solubility.
I think that's his point. Companies are chasing "big data" because it's a great buzzword without considering whether it's something they actually need or not.

A well-rounded, hype-resistant developer would look at the same problem and say, "wha? Nah, I'll just write a dozen lines of PowerShell and have the answer for you before you can even figure out AWS' terms of use..."

I don't think the article talks about this specifically but there's also a tendency to say "big data" when all you need is "statistically-significant data". If you're Netflix, if you just want to figure out how many users watch westerns for marketing purposes, you don't need to check literally every user, just a large enough sample so that you can get a 95% confidence or so. But I've seen a lot of companies use their "big data" tools to get answers to questions like that, even though it takes longer than just sampling the data in the first place.

(Now Netflix recommendations, that's a big data problem because each user on the platform needs individualized recommendations. But a lot of problems aren't. And it takes that well-rounded hype-resistant guy to know which are and which aren't.)
Exactly - reading this I was thinking "You are surprised that what are now basically small hills are not tourist Meccas?" And while I don't know the exact numbers, places that are at least superficially interesting, like the cliff dwellings, have lots of recognition and are known as cool places to visit.
When I spent the night on Long's Peak in Rocky Mountain (not intentional! I went up a semi-technical route but somehow lost the "easy" trail on the way down...) there were no rangers and no payments. I value that day-night-morning more than all of my other visits to RMNP put together.
Problem with that kind of setup is that if you unexpectedly need to scale out of that, you haven't done any of the work required to do that, and you're stuck.

Well it's at least a compound problem, because in some places in America (usually poor cities and college campuses) voting can take hours.

In the suburbs you'll probably be out in a few minutes though.

Cutting out most or all processed foods is a great start.

There are plenty of nourishing high-fat foods that you can eat, and that are good for you. This includes eggs, avocados, salmon and mackerel, macadamia nuts etc [1]

> All these things support the fact that diet is not just a biochemical problem, but a psychological and social one.

Yes. Decades of experience has shown that "dieting" doesn't work, and it often results in people gaining weight (after losing weight temporarily). [2]

It's better to make permanent lifestyle changes that result in long-term weight loss and increased fitness, even if it takes a few years. I assume this is what you've actually done.

If you change what you eat, and the way you eat it, then you don't have to "cut down" on food -- which is how most people understand dieting. It's really easy to over-eat doughnuts but quite hard to over-eat on salad and veggies....

Findlaw[0] has a state by state breakdown of laws regarding the time off. Some require paid leave while others aren't. Rather than a federal voting holiday (which brings its own headaches), lobby your local legislature to add language to make the leave paid. It's more likely to happen in the states that don't have it than it is to happen federally.

Right, "data scientists" with experience call themselves statisticians or analysts or whatever.

Good points, but be careful to understand that there is a difference between environmental problems that are "tangible" or directly affect our everyday experience, and environmental problems that are "abstract" or refer to imperceptible hazards or hazards predicted in the future.

When we're talking about the early days of environmental awareness, those problems with coal smoke, industrial smog, and dangerous infrastructure all fall into the first category. The push to break dependence on non-renewable energy falls into the second category (except where using non-renewable energy also has a perceptible effect on air quality).
