I'd be curious to pair up word2vec and these new image classification algorithms. It would be neat for a program to identify objects and then reason about heir relationship to other objects.

In fact the word associations could give it clues about what's in the image. For example it sees a picture of woman standing next to a king. So it uses word2vec to guess King + woman = queen.

What do you guys think? Anyone want to build a little prototype?
Secretly, I'm not that happy with flexbox. I think it's more intuitive in some cases, but I don't think it's more intuitive than floats and the like.

For example, I always feel like I want a `justify-self` property like `align-self`, but instead I must use `margin: auto` on the opposite side—in a flex row of elements, if I want the last one to be right aligned while the rest are hanging out in the center, I have to tell that last element to be `margin-left: auto`.

I think it's just an issue that it has taken so long to be useable (IEs :( ), there has been a lot of hype, and it's not quite the panacea I imagined it would be.
This is a bit of a stretch. No one seriously writes AMD today and the support of it is solely for backward compatibility due to how trivial it is to support it. CommonJS won that battle when tools like Webpack & Browserify came into existence. ES6 Modules will replace CommonJS once loaders for both the web and node actually make it into existence. Even still, Webpack 2 and Rollup both support ES6 & CommonJS side-by-side.
There is a JS polyfill. It's relatively popular, but I've never tried it. https://github.com/jonathantneal/flexibility
We are not enforcing a rotating schedule but hospitals are already naturally rotating antibiotics in response to resistance. Once penicillin was lost we switched to another antibiotic. The problem is that we don't have enough classes of antibiotics restart the cycle. It takes way longer for bacteria to lose resistance than for bacteria to gain resistance.
I think I agree. I really wish that I'd been walked through The Right Way (or just A Right Way) to write a compiler and bytecode interpreter by a professor. Oh well, it's fun to learn on my own!

Yup, you're completely correct. I'm a bit embarrassed.
The growth hacking part isn't fraud. Grocery stores demand slotting fees to get products on the shelves, so if you can get your product on the shelf by spending less money on secret purchases than you otherwise would on slotting fees then that's just smart business.

Representing these purchases as legitimate sales to investors would definitely be fraud though.
As I understand it, the BSODs happened when virus scanners hit a Dokany FS. Interaction between two different hooks into the kernel's FS layer, I guess.
> It could be a good case for FCPA investigation, though I doubt that the US will be interested in opening the FCPA case against the American company.

FWIW a lot FCPA cases are against American companies since it's an American rule. The only way a non-American company would end up against FCPA is if they were traded in US financial markets (so Renova Group couldn't be brought up on FCPA charges, but Medtronic definitely can be).
So, what would be the best solution to run three (Fedora, Windows 8 or 10 and OSX or more) OS' under a common hypervisor and achieve (almost) full speed? Or alternatively, Fedora as main and the other ones as VMs, but also with (almost) full speed and graphics acceleration.
This happens in Moldova too.
It's not Rust, but: https://golang.org/pkg/crypto/tls/

I know it says "partial" implementation, but it's quite good even so, and has had everything I need. It doesn't do SSLv2, but nowadays that's more virtue than vice.

Erlang has an independent SSL implementation as well; it binds to OpenSSL but as I understand it just uses the heavy-duty math parts, not the protocol parts, which are instead written in Erlang.

Non-C SSL implementations in memory-safe languages exist.

Note that "but are they as well road-tested" or similar such things would be moving the goal posts. Not necessarily wrong or bad objections, but different objections. Probably nothing, not even the other C implementations, is as well "road tested" as OpenSSL, but, then again, OpenSSL hasn't exactly passed that road testing with flying colors now, has it?
Interesting, for they did come up with a stunningly good shade of green for non-field uniforms, I wore them in JROTC in the late '70s. On the other hand, olive drab wasn't a non-field uniform color, was it? I've heard that part of the equivalent WWII era color scheme including "pink", or so it was called.

Not that there's anything wrong with olive drab, prior to us going to camouflage patterns it helped in the field because you don't want to stand out from the background, and it wasn't bad in most environments for that.

(Compare to the Army's MARPAT envy rushed into the field "Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP), also referred to as ACUPAT (Army Combat Uniform Pattern) or Digital Camouflage" (Wikipedia), which I'm told and believe only works in a gravel pit.)
This is a bad title, it should be "Where will advances in AI come from now?", In the first paragraph, the author states that AI is here, but asks where new AI advances will be from.

On that, in 2, the author talks about Brain Simulations and states that it'll take up to 500 years. I think that is a good upper estimate actually. Though optogenetics is a great tool, we need more. Mammalian brains can be up to 50% (at the low estimate, some say 90%) made out of astrocytes and glia. We know pretty much nothing about how they affect neuro processes, outside that they do, sometimes. We do know that is a huge problem with our understanding though, which is something I guess. Optogenetics should help tease out some of those glia methods, but as usual, it will raise more questions than answers. Another issue is potentation and its molecular mechanisms in more than just the hippocampus. That work is incredibly tough, but we really only focus on the anatomically 'easy' areas for memory. We have to do more to understand. In short, we don't even know the correct questions to ask when it comes to the brain and understanding it. A full simulation, or a '80%' approximation even, is a few paradigm shifts away still (maybe, we cant know yet). It will likely have to be a 'full world' simulation too, where you have to control all the inputs to the brain and therefore have to model a world first. The brain's best feature is that it is all connected and a giant spaghetti mess. This is, obviously, a long ways away.
They're not exactly bug-free though. For example, when I enabled the Oxygen theme and adjusted the taskbar height to roughly where I had it in KDE 4, all the text became about three pixels high for no reason. I think there were other problems too.
So, I don't do any front end work in my day-to-day, so this may be a stupid question. This article starts out with how CSS gets a lot of negativity. What alternatives are there? Do browsers understand anything but CSS for styling?
There are so many reasons the EpiPen costs $318, corporate greed being one of them. One of the huge reasons that no one talks about is that most rarely actually sell for $318. It's priced at that, but insurance companies negotiate a lower (unpublished) price in most/all insurance purchases. It's only those with no insurance or who are buying it without insurance that pay the full price.

This is true for nearly all drugs, medical equipment, or medical procedures in the US. This is one of the huge problems with our system. Everyone puts a huge price-tag on their stuff knowing that insurance with negotiate down.

To me, this seems like the biggest problem here.
Every messaging board (ala Reddit), and Dating site (ala plenty of fish) I know of.. started with some founders "seeding the pool". To me it kind of makes sense, as you can't just open an empty 2 way marketplace and hope that it all works out. Ideally in the reddit way, there were actual discussions going on (except between 3 people not the 100 the usernames would success). Is this also fraud, or just the fact of starting a 2 way marketplace?

Now for this story.. I cannot see a way to justify counting most of your sales as things you bought yourself. That sounds like a not valid way to do business, and I would be very surprised if it were legal to report those as sales.
The overall work done by a system is the integral of the force vector dot product the direction of movement. If you have a conservative force setup (no friction) then any motion that takes you back to where you started does no work. We did this in first year physics at university (we also did it in high school, but other school systems probably don't work the same way).

You're confusing work and energy. Energy is expended, but work is not. Work relates to the change in potential energy of a system -- which will not change in a conservative system (assuming you return to the original point). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_(physics)
I remember doing the same thing. I loved KDE until KDE 4. Then I used Ubuntu with Gnome 2 for a while and really liked it, but then Ubuntu decided to switch to Unity which I found to be pure rubbish. About that time, Gnome decided to go against all reason and foisted Gnome 3 abomination on us ... so I checked out KDE 4 again and they'd fixed most of the bugs and made it reasonable again :-)

And through all the migrations, I still liked KDE 3.5 the best.

This article comes across as fairly exploitative to me. It's full of constant self promotion, hyperbolic parallels being drawn, and leading questions. The photographs are certainly fantastic, but the idea that Fukushima is anything like Chernobyl just isn't even remotely scientific.

It's hard to believe the author's claims that this is done for the people that have suffered through this when you juxtapose those claims against the repeated mentions of just how popular his work has been and how many people have seen it and how important it is.

Am I the only one that feels this way?
"Business ethics" means "keep the shareholders happy"? This explains so much...
When I first started out. I worked as an intern, with the schedule for the next week posted every Friday. There were a number of times where I had worked three 13 hour days, Wednesday -> Friday. Then the new schedule was Saturday -> Monday 13 hour shifts. This is one issue is work without rest.

The other end was for my girlfriend. Her schedule alternated morning -> graveyard. Flipping back and forth, which made sleep very elusive, not to mention preparing for work. They also jumbled up schedules on a whim. We would buy tickets to an event, give notice. Then the day before put her on the shift. Either do the shift or be fired. It was practically impossible to plan anything. Then after six months, she asked for a semi regular schedule, just have Friday through Sunday be all morning or all night. They fired her instead.

With all the advances we have. It seems a no brainer to have consistent schedules. Where you can spend time with family, friends and loved ones on your free time. I wonder if the biggest factor with this is reliability of the hourly employees.
> You are not giving reasons against SPAs

I think being inefficient ('writing a text editor in sed') and impeding doing things the right way ('it's a lot easier to take a clean REST API and use it from JavaScript than it is to take a purpose-built SPA and try to turn it into a proper REST system') are reasons not to write SPAs, no?

And the presence of reasons to write proper HTML/HTTP apps implies why one shouldn't write improper SPAs, no?
> We do not know whether it will take 5, 50, or 500 years, but it is likely that we eventually will get there

That actually made me laugh, which is appreciated.

Seriously, nothing dependent on the continuity of our current civilizational trajectory can be predicted as likely over a horizon of 500 years; which means that it either is likely to happen in 5..50 years, or it isn't "likely" at all.

Nice article nonetheless.

I mean diggin deeper makes this actually worse. I mean like nearly no news about that, just like "if it doesn't affect us we don't care". I mean seriously? Why does nobody takes this more serious?

Most people analyze the air, yeah great that's serious, but we should also take more care about things which basically don't affect us "directly". nuclear plant's in earthquake or landscape's which are effected by nature catastrophes once in a while should be forbidden.
Wow! This is incredible stuff. As a vegan I was incredibly surprised to see just mayo appear in mainstream grocery stores in my area.

It's true that this hack was in 2012, but the information lost is not only passwords but also account information like name, addresses, other linked email addresses, etc. So those who changed their passwords after this hack still have something to worry about.
Whats the basis of that opinion in concrete terms, because I don't see it from the handwaving in the article.
A hard problem to be sure. But much of a human brain is a uniform matrix that self-programs. If we duplicate that blindly, we won't have to figure out how that works or have to program it.

Still a lot to do before that I guess. But 500 years? What else in human history has taken that long to figure out? The age of technology is shorter than that.
This is pretty fucking terrifying. A bacterial 'petri dish' of over a billion humans.

I'm growing weary of trusting the cloud for some things. There are a few photos I actually care about, and right now they're on Flikr. Facebook mangles them, and flikr holds them hostage if I stop paying. I used to keep a local copy, but over the years I've been lazy with copying it as I move machines.

I'm thinking of buying a raspberry pie, and a few extra large SD cards, and just hosting it on the web myself.

I'll miss the social aspects though. It was fun to have the occasional email pop up every now and then from someone commenting on a photo I took 3 years ago.
I think he meant it doesn't matter how you call yourself at all.
IMHO, Junior developer or junior whatever means that the person has little to none experience in the field. That doesn't mean that this person has no knowledge.

Personnally, I see a Junior whatever as someone who has some theoric knowledge about the whatever but did not have the time to apply it yet.

Yes, as I said, fraud.
I program in Python professionally, and it still feels a bit awkward. :/ I don't want to make this a bigger deal than it is, but I'm not sure that you gain much by adhering to the Python syntax. That's just my $0.02. I'm excited to play around with it though. :)
If you don't want to consent to paying for the benefits of living in a particular society, then don't be part of that society.
A rational outlook on this is pretty simple, and yet not as black-and-white as you are suggesting the alternative to be.

We want to maximize human quality of life.

People dying of a heart attack does not fit that goal, and a few corrupt politicians and some medical company executives and stockholders making millions while thousands also does not fit. Devoting the whole economy to keeping people alive, but not letting them enjoy that life does not fit either.

A middle path of efficient markets in areas where that works, and of artificially supporting and regulating areas where market forces do not produce the desired outcome due to a lack of profitability or externalities, is not that hard to understand. It's just hard to implement.
For quite a while github looked like a cheap gitlab knock off rather than the other way around due to gitlab actually innovating and adding new features and github stagnating.

Now that github is adding the features that gitlab already added, they are more neck and neck again.
There isn't an alternative really. Like Javascript, it's all there is.
Here's a crazy thought. What if we never get human-like artificial intelligence?
This is an approach I'm taking to the data I'm working with, but the problem is that unsupervised learning doesn't reconstruct features the way you want, into intelligible human-friendly categories, it reconstructs features to minimize some cost function.

This means the features are weird mathematical intersections that might have something to do with something you can connect to semantic meaning, but they might not. The exercise of discovering what a feature "is" then becomes its own fraught exercise in inspection and discovery.

Falsehoods that are taught in econ 101: Keynesian economics, debt is good, and debt drives the economy.
Is that part allowed though?

I guess it depends if the terms of the contract with the store itself prohibit the activity, as it doesn't sound to violate any obvious laws (outside of reporting it as sales).
There's an argument I've seen that founders should be on a thoroughly nonstandard vesting schedule, for exactly this reason. Slower vesting, a longer cliff, an event-based cliff, or some combination thereof.

It's a decent assumption that all successful, unpurchased startups take at least 3 years to hit it big. Given that, you could reasonably put a founder cliff at 2 years (with early vesting on buyout) as a show of faith.

Of course, the other argument is that if a founder leaves with 12.5% of your company something else is terribly wrong regardless.

You got me thinking. I have owned a website name since 2003, and I put up a website a couple years back. So I have been actively using the name.

I just checked and someone registered the trademark in May 2016 for `${name}` since I own the .com I am wondering what sort of issues I will get into.

It seems there is a board you can petition to have a trademark cancelled. I wonder under what circumstances a trademark would be cancelled.

UX Tips for Using Icons in Your App
I would define a junior developer as anyone who is not going to be very effective without some supervision. In other words, they have things to learn and need guidance and oversight before they will be able to do much correctly on their own. This could focused on tools, techniques, processes, it doesn't really matter. So I don't think the definition is different for web or systems development, although the tools and depth of experience might be.
So "Four Thieves Vinegar" says their DIY auto-injector works probably almost as well as the EpiPen. Sign me up! 


Are we really complaining about an "onerous regulatory process" for a device which untrained laymen need to be able to use in a high stress emergency situation?

I'd like to see Four Thieves Vinegar fund the necessary trials to prove their device is safe, gain FDA approval, bring the device to market, and defend themselves against the inevitable lawsuits, and then tell us how they can sell the device with less than 80% gross margins. The marginal cost of making one more pill or one more device is almost entirely irrelevant, and any article that tries to make a case for a medical product being overpriced based on COGS isn't worth reading IMO.

The price for EpiPens went up because no one else was able to make a competing product that didn't malfunction or deliver the wrong dose of epinephrine.
We don't need to draw the line anywhere. Greed should not be any worse when it comes to saving lives than when it comes to entertainment. Any other standard screws up incentives. Otherwise you have the perverse result of incentivizing people to invest in the next Tindr instead of the next EpiPen.
There is no interest to the general public. But that doesn't mean scientists can't carve out their own online community like Wikipedia and start to categorize all of this information. It would for them probably be what stackoverflow is to programmers.

> Image copyright is now practically a dead letter if you're an amateur.

Why would an amateur care about copyright? The whole point of copyright is to grant a monopoly to a work's creator in order for him to make money. If he's trying to make money, he's not an amateur (viz., someone doing it out of love — hence the word).

An amateur certainly wouldn't care about the market for commercial photos!

Echoing mpweiher's comment ("the most significant damage is not from radiation, but from fear of radiation"), keep in mind that no one died from radiation during or in the immediate aftermath of the accident:

> Though there have been no fatalities linked to radiation due to the accident, the eventual number of cancer deaths, according to the Linear no-threshold theory of radiation safety, that will be caused by the accident is expected to be around 130-640 people in the years and decades ahead.[12][13][14] The United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation[15] and World Health Organization report that there will be no increase in miscarriages, stillbirths or physical and mental disorders in babies born after the accident.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_T%C5%8Dhoku_earthquake_an...

The expected statistical increase in cancer deaths (~hundreds) can be compared to the 15,000 people killed in the rest of Japan due to the Tsunami.
