I think a less charitable explanation is that they hope this will pressure developers into making their license info more consistently available to the advantage of everyone -- like how Google adjusts its search ranking algorithm to punish certain kinds of behaviour/problems.

... which I would be perfectly okay with.
> The massive enormous speed ups come from creating massive arrays and implicitly working on them in parallel. So instead of iterating through every pixel and creating a origin and direction vector for each one you create a Total_number_of_pixels X 3 numpy array and pass that to your ray tracing function. Due to the way numpy broadcasts arrays the amount of rewriting you need to do is incredibly minimal and the speed ups over pure python are astronomical.

thank you for your insight! this is very useful indeed.
You vote for the one closest to your views in the primaries. They didn't win you say? Too bad. Your faction is too small to actually win all the marbles. OTOH, you can work at the legislative level where a smaller, dedicated interest group can actually get someone elected. It does not have the ego stroking that comes with top of the ticket wins, but it actually does manage to accomplish something and while you may be forced to compromise your principles and actually work with other people who do not share your views once elected it is better to be on the inside than on the outside complaining.
That reminds me of a colleague complaining about a recent cohort of about 60 webdev graduates. Not a single one wanted to learn perl, but were quite happy to get stuck into anything Javascript preferably react!

Up to a point. There's Hardware Partitioning in which the hardware allows you to specify which processors or memory are dedicated to which OS but there's little dynamic sharing. The only real way to do dynamic resource sharing is with software virtualization (which does still require hardware features, but many platforms support this nowadays) where either the OSes run under a Hypervisor layer, or one OS runs in a virtual machine running as an application within another. Arguably the latter is just a variation on the former. Or vice versa depending who you ask.

I disagree with this wholeheartedly. Pictures I take with my phone are "in the moment" pictures something like "oh look my son put his pants on his head, that's a keeper". Those I throw on facebook so my mom can check it out... and then i'm done.

But when I pull out my $1500 DSLR, it's not a firehose (well it is, but not what i'm going to publish) I'm going to go through hundreds of pics, pick 20 or so that matter, and then put effort into touching them up... because I shot in RAW just so I could do that.

After you spent literally hours making that photo "just right", that's what I use flikr for. It's also nice to have other photographers find your stuff, and comment on how nice it is.

I think this is just one more point of "if you want to do a startup, look for something owned by Yahoo, and build that"
In my market, NYC, VZ is by far the best provider. It has far more spectrum than AT&T, which esp for Manhattan is really important because of the density of people. Moreover, we have many large steel and concrete buildings and VZ gets the strongest signal.

Data usage has grown dramatically and the spectrum availability in your market can make a difference. VZ, AT&T, and others have purchased AWS-3 Band 66 spectrum which they are brining on-line but the iPhone 7 and Galaxy 7 chips don't support it.

It is 10 AM ET and I just ran a Speedtest in Upper West Side Manhattan and have 41 Mbits/sec down and 6.5 up on iPhone 7+.

On iPhones, install the VZ App, install the widget, get the Omnistat app and that should help with knowing your data usage.

The OSX license agreement severely limits the practicality of this:
http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/macOS1012.pdf

It only allows you:

Section 2B(iii): "to install, use and run up to two (2) additional copies or instances of the Apple Software within virtual operating system environments on each Mac Computer you own or control that is already running the Apple Software, for purposes of: (a) software development; (b) testing during software development; (c) using macOS Server; or (d) personal, non-commercial use.

The grant set forth in Section 2B(iii) above does not permit you to use the virtualized copies or instances of the Apple Software in connection with service bureau, time-sharing, terminal sharing or other similar types of services."
That's my point. With these OTS modules they are only returning on known classifiers.

The system has to segment before it classifies. That isn't returned to the user, but gradient descent is happening in the background. Like I said, it's a nitpick but important if you're trying to really build novel CV applications.

One of my gripes with people implementing pre-built modules from TF is that you don't really build any of the hard stuff, and it's pre-trained so not much learning is happening. You can't for example build RL systems with off the shelf TF implementations.
You are right, HTC Vive is actually mentioned in their product detail page.

The listed price is 68000 RMB, about 10K USD. I guess this includes the entire headset, a high-end computer, and the platform itself. No idea how big the margin would be. Might be good at this early stage.

Ways to build a mobile app without native technologies
Nothing in that article says anything about bribery. Nothing says Mylan made any campaign contributions to anyone to keep competing products from being approved.

It gives three examples:

1) Lobbying to not let Medicare negotiate with drug manufacturers. Which is a perfectly reasonable policy to avoid a creating a monosopny buyer of drugs.

2) Lobbying for the Generic Drug User Fee Act. That law imposed fees on the industry to beef up FDA resources for reviewing applications of generics. It also imposed testing requirements on foreign production facilities equal to the testing requirements imposed on domestic facilities. Again, seems reasonable, and the Act was supported by public interest organizations.

3) Lobbying for federal funding to be used to purchase EpiPens for schools. Somewhat shady, but how does that kill anybody?
ElixirWeekly - Issue #11: Building a Casino in Elixir
Ah, but Houston has rules designed to force urban sprawl in myriad different ways. They just refuse to call it zoning.

Case in point - my old apartment was 2 bedrooms and had no offstreet parking. It was near a number of excellent bars with no parking. Fortunately it was easy to walk between them! Houston has rules forcing people to live far from said bars, and forcing both their home and the bar to have parking (which spreads things out even without density maximums), and makes it harder to patronize those bars without driving intoxicated.

Lying by omission seems to be widely accepted now as necessary and expected in order achieve tenure, secure funding, etc. I find it abhorrent. If you go back and read experimental papers from the 1800's, before science became an industry, they are full of detailed methods (including where to purchase items), pitfalls encountered along the way, and potential detractors from the main result. Not so today. Today, it seems to be all about selling a result that may or may not be significant.
Alternatively, don't learn from books, but the markets themselves. Open a Paper Trading account via Think or Swim. Begin a steady diet of Bloomberg / WSJ / CNBC every day. Whenever a word or idea is mentioned that you don't understand, Google it or consult Investopedia. Figure out what the Fed actually does. How debt and credit markets work. The microstructure of physical and electronic commodities trading. Maybe skim an online "Stochastic Calculus" class. Join Quantopian and master every algorithmic strategy known to humankind. Dive deep into cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies.

And who knows, perhaps one day you'll invent something that obviates the need for a global system of monetary trust ;)
Yes, Matt Levine thought that the ruling in the Einhorn/Punch case meant exactly that:

> Under UK law, as it appears from this decision, Punch can call Greenlight, shout “hey we’re raising capital and now you know about it suckers!” into the phone, and hang up. Now Greenlight, through no fault of their own, have inside information and can’t legally trade. That would be kind of diabolical, no?

In fact, in the actual discussion Einhorn explicitly refused the opportunity to discuss inside information in exchange for not trading on it, Punch told him the information anyway, and then Einhorn traded and got in trouble.

> But it is the biggest factor; without your health, you have nothing.

That's simply not true. That may be your priority, but it's not everyone's, and the assertion that "you have nothing" is ridiculous.

If I could live to the age of 50, make a major positive change in the world in that time, and then die, I'd make that trade. Of course, you don't get a guarantee that solid, everything is probabilistic. But there are definitely cases where you can trade health for some other value, and many of us are willing to make that trade.

> 1) If it's good for my long-term health, do it.

> 2) If it increases my athletic performance and doesn't conflict with 1), do it.

> 3) If it makes me look or feel better and doesn't conflict with 1) or 2), do it.

This is laughably simplistic. For example, according to this, money never comes into your considerations. Cool story, bro.

Actually, we don't service the real estate industry, we're in the real estate industry. It's a long story[1] but we stumbled into the business. The main idea behind Dane Arthur is that we need to stand out from everyone else. We built a niche real estate company/brokerage to $200M/year in sales on the back of a website and want to expand our offerings, but not our geography.

And you're 100% correct about time on site. The only measure we're really interested in is converting unique users into happy clients.

Emacs basically has this. It is why I mentioned it. There are a set of functions that are compiled c code, but the majority of emacs is just a click away from my looking at it and modifying if I wanted to.

And that is the thing, I rarely want to. Or, I'll want to, but it isn't easy enough to do that I can get it done. Often, the thing I would like to do is a melpa install away. And the amount of code involved with many features is far beyond my skillset, it usually seems.
Other than the last paragraph, the problems you mention are a market failure, which can be dealt with by having all aspects of phage therapy carried out within a government-owned health service, rather than by privately owned pharmaceutical companies.

It's worth noting that phage therapy was successfully used in the Soviet Union, and is still used in Georgia where the phage was "farmed", and that attempts to commercialize it have (as far as I know) invariably failed.

The clinical problems in administration of phage therapy to patients you mention are well-known and limit their use somewhat. But phage therapy could still be a valuable addition in the fight against pathogenic bacteria, rather than a replacement for antibiotics, which are more convenient, and work very well most of the time.
Assuming we stay with a library written in C, a better approach would be for everyone to try to move to what's in BoringSSL, which deliberately removed most stuff, more than LibreSSL.

If we still stay with C, Ring would be a good replacement, which is partially/primarily written in Rust.

That said, LibreSSL's TLS abstractions look like a welcome improvement if you need a C API.
This kind of resource DoS attack doesn't seem like it's directly related to safe/unsafe. I think you would be just as likely to forget to put a resource limit if you were writing in Haskell.
> On a couple of occasions I've taken the bait and linked to the LibreSSL source to show that the relevant bits are in fact not changed at all, so they were both vulnerable.

That's not a bulletproof way to assess bugs in LibreSSL because its authors also removed vulnerabilities from general helpers functions, proactively fixing issues in the code that uses them.
Why would it end? There is no perfect software if that's what you're looking for.
Do you understand how convolutional neural networks work? There is no segmentation involved here at all. The input are the raw pixels of the image. The output is the probability this image belongs to one of the categories the network is capable of predicting.

Also gradient descent has nothing to do with segmentation at all, I don't understand what you're talking about. Gradient descent is used to find the set of weights that minimizes the error. This is standard in training neural networks of any kind using backpropagation.
So sad Yahoo did absolutely nothing with this icon of photography websites. I've been revisiting old photos, and moving them over to my own personal site. It's probably inevitable that one day we'll all get the notice that Flickr is shutting down, and you have X amount of days to save your photos.
I agree that there is a societal attitude aspect to the whole thing, sure.

> would you like to ask your friends "let's go to the non-alco place instead of the usual one"

Sure. Vegetarians and vegans do this sort of thing reasonably often.

I should note that actual friends would tend to respect this sort of request. If I had a friend who struggled with alcohol addiction I would certainly respect a request to go to a no-alcohol place. In fact, I would default to that in that situation. It's just basic politeness from my point of view, and yes, I realize that the concept of "politeness" differs from society to society too.

> Yeah, I've never heard much about non-alco restaurants.

They're everywhere, in some countries. Simple example: McDonalds in the US. Again, this varies from country to country; in many countries in Europe McDonalds does serve alcohol. This does come back to the societal attitudes thing.

I agree that this is rarer for upscale restaurants, but from a quick search http://www.latimes.com/food/jonathan-gold/la-fo-gold-dongpo-... is an example (whether temporarily or not is not clear).

Certainly there are lots of medium-scale restaurants in the US that do not sell alcohol but may allow you to bring your own, and then you, as the group going, get to make the call on whether to have alcohol. Of course t305158
he parallels between alcohol and phones are not exact; most people don't carry alcohol with them everywhere they go. ;)

But in general what I think you're missing is that having explicit options that buck the societal trend goes a long way towards normalizing bucking the societal trend.

> The existence of gimmicky restaurants isn't answer to these kinds of problems

It's not _the_ answer, but it's part of _an_ answer.

After I read the Bible the first time I had a discussion with a preacher about a theory of mine, just based on my own observation.

Genesis and Revelations are the two books of the Bible that were not written as observed. Genesis was written by Moses after the Jewish Exodus and Revelations is prophecy.

That leaves significantly more room for interpretation and metaphor, especially when discussing a subject that is so cross-discipline as creation itself. Is Genesis expected to provide cellular and DNA explanations?

I've come to call people who harp on these two books while ignoring everything in between, "Bookenders". It applies to just about anyone who is either obsessed with end-times prophecies or the idea that Genesis itself must be 100% literally interpreted (either to prove or disprove the accuracy of the Bible).

Reading the entire text is really a great exercise in perspective though. Far too few people do it.

Several factors of this:

* Demand, since it is a new exam very few companies will be looking for a PE in software engineering.

* Supply, it's not just taking the test (starting with the FE) but you also need to have worked under a PE in the field (hah!) or had relevant experience to waive that requirement (this is a lot more vague and determined by the state). I would wager that most with relevant experience in the field are also not wanting to bust ass to study for a PE exam that no employers are demanding.

I'll be interested to see how long it takes for this to be more common. When I graduated (computer engineering) the consensus was that unless we knew our job would require a PE in the future that we didn't bother even taking the FE exam.
