The bit where you contradicted yourself in the first line.

Php is a language that traded off every bit of sanity and security for "ease of use".

There's nothing sane about unusably difficult languages.
thank you for your opinion, we noted it. By the way you are paying for using cloud resources, not for using technology, you can compile digger, download it and run for free at your own server or computer. And you can do it with free plan. So Im not really sure why we are discussing cost of our subscription plans :)
We are in beta, so we would really appreciate some feedback about user experiece when they using website, visual extractor, or compiled diggers.
Legal side of web scraping is heavily depends on country you live in.
Introducing more edges with your dodecahedral (or an icosahedral or some large-n polytope) cell worsens the edge-vs-face problem below, because a "cell shape" discretizes rotation and we have excellent evidence that rotation is smooth in our spacetime.

Small regions of our spacetime are locally Lorentz-invariant, meaning that a number of observable quantities (magnitude of angular momentum and mass are two) do not change for a particle held at the origin of a system of coordinates as the particle is arbitrarily rotated or boosted.

Arbitrariness is important. If we are observing a distant and predictable multifrequency radiator and define spherical coordinates with the radiator at the origin, then any movement our observation gear makes that isn't exclusively radial is equivalent to a rotation of the distant radiator. You can do this by holding the radiator at the (spacelike) origin, and the observer at its fixed (spatial) coordinates; in order to keep these coordinates constant, you have to rotate the system of coordinates to counter wholly non-radial relative movement. At large distances, the rotation at the origin becomes extremely small. Small or large, Lorentz invariance means the radiator has the same mass (it's by definition rest mass since it's always at the coordinates [0,0,0,t]) and momentum.

So arbitrarily small rotation goes hand-in-hand with arbitrarily distant observers, and also with nearer observers who can displace themselves tiny amounts.

So is there a minimum rotation?

The arbitrariness of rotation is a in conflict with "cell shape", as when your "cell" distinguishes between edges and faces, the discrete nature of rotated mass-energy-momentum exposed through the (corner-filled, discrete) cell structure leads to different observables under rotation compared to that of the (smooth, continuous) spacetime of (either theory of) relativity. This deviation is larger for objects of higher momentum; and remembering Einstein's relation for rest-massless particles, E = pc = \hbar\omega = h / \lambda, that means that for different-wavelength photons emitted from the same source, the higher-frequency photons will arrive later than the lower-frequency ones. We have good observational evidence against frequency-dependent arrival times from bright distant objects (supernovas, gamma-ray bursts, even millisecond pulsars).

We can conceive of a "cell shape" which is uniform under infinitesimal rotations, but at that point you have shifted one set of infinitesimals to another, and in the context of this topic (a simulation that among other things saves on state by abolishing real numbers in dimensions of length, rotation, boost and/or translation) is pretty much a non-winner.

(Additionaly, ignoring the simulation context, you would also almost always run into difficulties if your "cell size" -- a minimum length in space or a minimal interval in spacetime -- is large enough to produce observables.)
Maybe working on a 256 core BF computer has BF'd his brain? Have some empathy.
So that's new in the sense that now we know about it?
This is ridiculous! First, please become informed before posting on a subject you clearly know little about. Second, in your "aforementioned" comment, you did not differentiate between uei and plain leaf kratom. This means you are either a "plant", or just a complete m. I know first-hand that coming off daily use of plain leaf kratom is a cakewalk compared to pharmaceuticals like methadone. Kratom is very similar to stopping your daily cup of coffee. You do not have 2 weeks of severe withdrawal nor do you have years in a state of PAWS. Also, if you think man made drugs like methadone are safer than natural substances like kratom, you need to head back to your big pharma office. Kratom is safe when taken in moderation. It will not kill you DEAD because when you take too much, it induces the users to vomit. It does not cause a complete shutdown of your cns! And when used daily for anxiety or other ailments, it is much safer than big pharmas "non natural" poisons. All big pharma concoctions can kill you and "accidental" overdoses occur every minute in the US on a daily basis. You are wrong and I question the sincerity of your comment.
So who is the new favorite?
LOL you have everything thought out!
". A large amount of research is focusing on what kind of wimpy machines are best fit for important workloads. In this paper, we present a rather extreme example of a wimpy processor, using the BrainFuck [22] esoteric programming language as its ISA."

Seems legitimate to me. Seriously, why not explore the extremes? Thats where we often learn the most.

I suspect many here think this is a joke, but although does have it's funny side this definitely warrants the research IMHO
You could try BlazingDB if what you are interested is the gpu powered SQL component. There is a free community edition available here: https://docs.blazingdb.com/docs/quickstart-guide-to-blazingd...

You can install this on AWS or on your own infrastructure (I run this on my laptop for example).

State 6. Realize that painful steps need to be automated and repeated often. Then each upgrade has much fewer changes, and it's easier to locate the source of errors.
Keep in mind that data can always be anonymized. So even most medical or social science research data can be put in a repo.
Thats one way of doing anti-aliasing (MSAA), there are many others.
One important detail I left out is that you need to also instrument you app to give usage analytics on how users behave on your site from the very beginning. This could be in the form of a service like google analytics but also custom code tracks metrics specific to the features that you are deploying.
I addressed that in the second half of my comment.
If you want to get started with machine learning you MUST take computational neuroscience? I don't think so.
Here's an alternative suggestion — try a machine learning contest on one of the programming challenge problem sites.

HackerRank (YC S11) has one coming up in 2 weeks (filter by Domains > AI) [1].

I plan to participate as well just to explore the space. Feel free to shoot me a message if you'd like to discuss more.

How long before we stop bollocking about and just call them all PUs?
how is it safer or how is it more fun?

The former, because it wont get you extradited, the later, well, that would be telling.

lets just say there are a lot more organisations than a few analysts in Maryland monitoring the internet and our communications, and they are interested in much more than unhappy muslims. Then leave it at that.
I'm a developer who's dealt with heavy operational loads for years. Some random things that help:

- Metric-driven design

-- Define your metrics and success criteria up front, as graphs on a dashboard, and build your system so that it's clear from the dashboard that the system is meeting its success criteria

- Testing

-- Unit test your business logic

-- For every logic bug, write a test which fails, fix the bug, and verify that the test succeeds (regression test)

-- Integration test all your APIs and the "success criteria"

--- try to keep the implementation-agnostic

-- Load test for latency-sensitive components

--- The results of load tests can be published as metrics in your metrics dashboard, since latency is often a success criteria

-- Continuous Delivery pipeline

--- Not only does this improve productivity and stability, but it is super useful for emergent deployments, so that you can know quickly if your fix is breaking anything, and you can add regression tests quickly

- Logging

-- Be liberal with logging

-- Log internal state changes (cache evictions, refreshes, connections opening/closing, etc.)

-- Add lots of logging in complicated business logic (there will be bugs, and logs will make them easy to find)

- Liberally sprinkle assertions throughout your code (especially if data quality is more important than resilience)

- Be conservative with dependencies

-- Think carefully before using that new sexy library

--- Do the authors make backwards-compatible changes?

--- Is it well-maintained?

--- Is it likely to be abandoned?

-- Think carefully before coupling systems together with code dependencies

Haha, I guess you've never experienced the misfortune that is iTunes, then.
I've worked at Walmart as recently as a month or so ago and, after being fired, I now work at Target - please reserve judgement for one of America's lost boys. I only worked there for a short time and the fire came from not showing up to work, so I'm not holding any grudge.

This store was in the Bay Area. I'd say there were quite a few of the types that were nearly unemployable, including new hires. This is probably due to the fact that the job is nearly unworkable. One time I mentioned the fact that I was tired to a woman who had been with the company for 15 years, she said 'Working at Walmart will do that to you'. I don't think it takes a 'special type of person' to succeed at working there, and I'm not sure I'd call it succeeding. I only worked on weekends so my perspective may be skewed but it felt like doing a wave of work, consisting mostly of putting things back to there proper place, only to come back tomorrow and do the same thing with no end in sight. This may be a phenomenon of employment at large, I don't know.

I'll say that my experience with Target astounds me how Target is apparently so much less popular than Walmart, and for the reasons that this article was trying to push. The training software with Walmart felt very cheap,and something to be rushed through (or in my case something to be milked for a week while I read a book on my phone). Target's training is done in small groups by team leads. I worked at Walmart for almost two months and, despite a few attempts at trying, I was never trained in finding items in the storage room (I was actually coached to say 'we're out of that item'). I was trained in this after working at Target for a few days. Not only that, but there's the fact that business management software is much more deeply embedded into the average Target employee's workday. It makes for a better store.
More on 'the investments', some Walmart employee's get 10% off select items in the store. All Target employees get 10% off everything in the store (except produce, which is an extra 10% for a total of 20).

Anyway, I'm just chipping in.

ColorBrainFuck would be in shades of gray.
This is another angle of the "Weapons of Math Destruction" argument, and it looks very relevant. Those who work on big data (esp. public sector) would be wise to consider the implications.
So you don't have any reasonable answer, just as I've thought.

That the billion of Muslims don't go around killing anybody isn't proof of Islam not being a blood-thirsty-Jews-and-Unbelivers-hating religion. It's just a proof these Muslims don't take their scripts seriously, just like a billion or so Christians also don't. But Islam is more problematic simply because the founder of it was more problematic. He killed unbelievers, ordered them decapitated, he raped the female slaves, he took 20% of all booty .... nothing of it was done by Jesus... Islam is based on considering its founder as the best example of life that exists... Specifically, I claim that Islam is based on not allowing the believers to do any critical thinking about exactly these acts of its founder. The exact example of any influential (for the believers) person who is a counterexample is more than welcome.

All the priests consider the founder as the best example of the righteous life, so if you just give me one influential that doesn't I would believe you.

Note: I don't have anything against Muslims, just like I don't anything against Christians. But I absolute don't like what the founder of Islam did and I don't like anybody who considers this a good example: specifically: killings of unbelievers, decapitations, intolerance, rape and torture. And I don't like anybody who approves these acts on because it's "a religion" or "his religion." And I'd really like to see who does approve this just because it's related to the name of the specific religion. It's absolutely no excuse.
>...gave European colonists significant military advantages over Native American people wielding bows and arrows, clubs, hatchets and spears. The attractiveness of such goods also meant that Indians desired trade with Europeans, despite the danger the newcomers represented.

Every time they use "Indians" after this I have to assume they mean Native Americans, though no where is that indicated or made understandable.

Is there any expectation that at some point in the future we will never again refer to the original habitants of North America as "Indians"? Everyone understands the term "American Indian" to mean indigenous person, but using just "Indian" and expecting people to know by context that you mean literally not an Indian person doesn't seem like a future facing literary move.
By my gut feeling this happened this summer. I haven't found any project which wasn't available in Python 3 in the last three months and therefore stumbled upon some which don't support 2 anymore. Also newer answers on SO now usually start with the version for 3 and might have an appendix "if you are still on ...".
Possibly a joke? The first occurrence in the text(emphasis mine):

Exercício Depois Duma Cesariana, Como E Quando?
For Graphistry's GPU platform, we suggest our users to go with server-grade GPUs because they get (a) more memory and (b) great multitenancy. So using MapD as a personal system is an expensive use of resources, but when a system is architected and billed as an elastic, multitenant system, total cost of ownership for a team is less. Not all platforms are built for this (and I don't know enough about MapD vs. other GPU databases), but that's the engineering view.

And mini-disclaimer: Graphistry is a related platform focused on scaling & automating investigations. Part of that is a GPU compute stack the we started building around the same time as MapD, though we're not in the database business. E.g., our customers will generally use us to look across multiple other systems that already feature high-availability, long-term storage, and scaleout querying for TB+ storage. As some examples: SQL engines, Spark, Splunk, Datastax, and various graph databases.
This is exactly it. Judging by perfectly framed picture with nice bokeh/dof this whole thing was arranged for that one PR shot.

Ask HN: I'm thinking about starting an activist group. Do I have a worthy cause?
This NYtimes article summarizes the issue succinctly:

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/08/13/us/starbucks-workers-scheduling-hours.html

I grew up upper-middle class. The book "Working Poor" really opened up my mind to what life is like for low income workers.

When I first heard about the $15/hour minimum wage movement, I initially rejected it. I studied Economics in college and I'm concerned what the effects would be to job growth. I'm still undecided.

What I think is a more pressing issue is "on call scheduling". Technology should improve the quality of living for humanity. Instead, software is wrecking havoc on the home lives of the lowest paid employees.

I'm thinking about starting an activist group. Do you think people would get behind it if I executed properly?
The Relativity of Wrong
Your comments seem targeted at their website, which is obviously an off-the-shelf theme from Themeforest or the like. (one I know I've seen before) It's not particularly well-done, but their service isn't building websites. Many a startup has their blog on Medium, or perhaps self-hosted Wordpress instance, and you could echo the same concerns.

Ever Craziest Ride – Thor Thunder Spin Ride
Trying to set up a situation where one could gain something (even just laughs) from attempting to send a fake NSL seems like a great way to end up in prison for the rest of your life. Not sure what laws that would violate (aside from impersonating), but I'd bet they'd find them.
The number of SKUs is irrelevant. The number of employees are what matter if we're talking about salaries. Having more SKUs doesn't push labor productivity lower, having more SKUs WITH more employees would push labor productivity lower. If they're doing it with the same or fewer employees it would be the exact opposite.

As for the stores being less profitable, I would imagine it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. They pay the vast majority of their employees welfare-inducing wages which is an instant turnoff to anyone in the middle class who actually cares about companies taking care of their employees.
I agree. Argue with your peers, not with the internet—but open data your sets after you publish the several studies you get.

Berkeley study will look into Soylent's effect on human microbiome
>"60-hour weeks basically means you live to work. Have you considered that perhaps someone's economic usefulness shouldn't be the only determinate of whether they have to spend essentially their entire lives on Earth just trying to survive?"

Have you considered that perhaps it's someone's prerogative and right to choose whether or not they want to pay for other people's lack of "economic usefulness"?

We're in this mess precisely because we had good intentions of helping the needy, and propping them up. All that did was raise their number, putting all sorts of economic pressures on existing poor people's salaries. Now we're expected to foot the bill even more?

You know, at some point, people are going to start saying enough to that sort of thing. It's borderline emotional-terrorism to guilt people into supporting so many needy. NO I am not a bad person for wanting the best for the people I care about. And not wanting to sacrifice it for the people who are reckless about bringing innocents into this world on my expense, and then teaching them anyways to hate me for not wanting to sacrifice further.

One last thing. I come from a family where the sole bread-winner did work 60-hour work weeks, and still does. Precisely so that I and my sibling wouldn't have to. Though I still do, because I want even better for the people I care about and brought into this world.
I wonder if you're joking, but these sorts of things have been implemented in Brainfuck.

Are you a researcher and following those principles? Because it is very easy to demand other people pay the price for what you believe are the right principles.

The reality of the way research funding and academia is set up (at least in Europe) is that the price you pay is likely your career. You can go through all the work and effort to follow those principles, and all that will happen is that the politicians will give the research funding and tenure positions to competitors that published more and told more exciting stories.

Academia and research will necessarily reflect the incentives put in place by the people with the money (i.e., politicians). And right now they are giving money for exciting stories and publication counts. That is where the change must start.
The post I was responding to strongly implied using these for launches.

Ah. MIT, never change. Mind, this kind of stuff could come out of other institutions as well. They shouldn't change either.

Anyways, can we have a version of TIS-100 where you write brainfuck with added message sending primitives instead of the TIS-100 asm? Of course, each BF interpreter would be working with only, say, 2 or 3 cells of RAM.

I want to see either that, or a TIS-100 asm compiler for GreenArray chips. Or both.
2 ternary digits should suffice, then.

It depends how reusable nuclear launchers would be. A less efficient launch system in terms of ISP that uses thousands of times cheaper fuel and e.g. is 10 times more reusable might be very competitive.
