One other thing I'll say is having the newsletter has been really helpful. I imagine most of the traffic that came from the initial launch wouldn't have thought to ever return to the site if it wasn't for the newsletter & RSS feed.

If your product isn't content related (a SAAS for example), a curated newsletter targeted towards your niche could be easy to maintain using a tool like https://www.getrevue.co/ and is a way to keep potential customers in the loop until they're ready.
Your post was flagged too. Nobody bothered to provide some feedback as to why... Truly we are better than this...
That only exists in San Francisco. Anywhere else, we are pretty much blind without cheating tools. Besides, the Sightings system is only helpful in areas with high pokestop density: Without it, the system wouldn't help: There are ZERO pokestops in a one mile radius around me. The nearest area with pokestops has 5 clustered together in a park... that has no pokemon spawns barring luring pokestops.

Third party tracking systems let me go with my son pokehunting in my subdivision: we could see a pokemon we want, and leave the house to look for it. Without that, the game is no fun, as a typical trip will only yield pidgeys and weedles.

This piece, which I found interesting, argued that the One Child Policy actually had a sort of "feminist" effect and was not exactly to blame for the gender imbalance:

> Besides, there were benign aspects of the one-child policy, especially for girls. Traditionally females were used as domestic help, birth machines or clan assets to marry off or trade. Women didn’t go to school, and were encouraged to internalise the saying that ‘a woman without talent is virtuous.’ Illiteracy was their proper condition: they were there to clean, farm, and above all to give birth to a male heir. They could not dine with men at the same table. Even today in many rural areas, all the family resources are invested in the male heir. The one-child policy forced people to review many of their assumptions, and at least try to treat girls as they would boys: parents, after all, were not able to choose their child’s sex, and had to come to terms with whichever they got. The policy also ended the nonsense that having a girl put paid to the family line. I have only one male cousin on my father’s side (regarded as the precious ‘trickle’ of the family bloodline), but when he had a girl, our family promptly abandoned their absurd talk about the male line. Cheers.

> Western scholars and human rights activists are inclined to blame the one-child policy for forced abortions, female infanticide, the under-reporting of female births and so on. These issues were deadly serious but they resulted less from the policy than from the nature of Chinese patriarchy, which the policy threw into sharp relief. People were willing to break the law, to pay a fine to have a second go at having a boy, even to murder or abandon female babies. Paradoxically the one-child policy undermined the atavism of tradition, even while seeming to encourage it. I grew up in Hefei, about 500 km west of Shanghai, where I remember a striking young girl from the countryside who attended a private violin class; she was the daughter of peasant parents who spoke poor Mandarin. Without the one-child policy, her father would have tried fanatically to conceive a second, third, fourth child, until the family produced a male heir. His daughters would have led miserable lives. Instead, he invested in his only child’s violin lessons.
Anyone counting Microsoft as "successful" is scoring companies on their ability to threaten price discrimination to exclude competitors' products from the marketplace.
I don't think it reflects the fragility of the student's mathematical reasoning behaviour so much as their ability to play the meta-game of the test itself. They know they are expected to provide answer, and that they don't know how to reach for it - so they play the odds. I for one have used this technique, exploiting for example the fact that in school, correct answers tended to be round numbers, as an heuristic, for example.

I believe if "insufficient data" was stated as a possible answer (which the student's are not accustomed to), they would state that.
> Reproduction should only be legal when there is two consenting adults that want to bring a child to the world

Do you mean, only when a child has two parents, or only when sex is with consent?

Measure your reading rate in pages/hour over a year.
I average 33 pages per hour. My wife reads faster than I do,
although the only measure is that she completes the same books faster (she has never tried measuring). As for understanding, I average 3 books on any given subject, 5 on some. The first book is really just an introduction to the subject (regardless of whether that is the target audience). The second book is much clearer because the terms are clear and the "goal" of formulas make sense. By the third book I can usually manipulate the ideas well. These days I usually also watch several youtube videos related to the subject. When using the material I often revisit certain books. I have several books that have chapters falling out from overuse, so "finishing a book" is not a way to think about it, more like "paging out to backing store" so I can retrieve it when I need it.
I'd go with something that's more production ready / supported. Don't know about meshkit but sounds cool.
You're demanding a struggle session because someone openly supports one of the two candidates. The one that you don't like. What consequences do you have in mind for the millions of others that will vote Trump in November?

Anonymous in the sense that numerai does not ask for any personally identifying information. You could easily prove you are who you say you are in numerai.

Also, I think the big benefit from a data scientist working on this is you can test methods with generic features, submit the results and get paid if they are good, but not submit any part of the methodology to any third party.

If you can kill it on numerai then maybe you would consider buying data sources and apply your methods to your own data. Although you still don't know what the features are.

It's the polar opposite of open source.

The owners don't have to trust the data scientists. They evaluate their results against additional data.
Based on the contest (weekly submission) and data (binary classification), it is my guess that they are running a long-short equity portfolio with weekly rebalancing. The features are known ahead of time and the dataset is not BIG, so I think some sort of fundamental approach.

Im not optimistic...
For your edit:

> I don't see why you feel "journalism" is a legally protected status.

Because the first amendment both stipulated freedom of speech and specifically the rights of the press. It's core to how our democracy functions. Without an informed populace, there can be no democracy.

> What protections do journalists have that I don't if I write wherever I want?

That question belies an assumption (or uses it for effect) that you aren't a journalist if you write what you want. This is a controversial assumption that is getting more attention as the hurdles to publishing have been lowered with the internet. Everyone has the capability to be a journalist now, even if it's only for a moment. What you specifically get as a journalist (meaning you are partaking in journalism) is specific protection in some cases[1], and general protection from your general actions being legislated against through the first amendment.

> What obligations do they have that they can be criminally prosecuted for? (albeit in 'egregious' cases).

They cannot break the law. That said, they are protected automatically from laws that target journalism through the first amendment. In this case, a law about being part of(?) a riot has been leveled against her, but she has clear constitutional rights to protect any actions that were for the benefit of the populace by reporting on the incident. Just being present is not enough.

On the other hand, if she were found to have been suggesting that people take action at the location, rather than just reporting on what they were doing, I think that is something they could legally and constitutionally attempt to prosecute, as she was not just reporting the situation, she was causing the situation (presumably not through informing the people present of the facts). Not that I've seen any evidence to suggest this is the case, beyond the charge itself. I am not a lawyer though, so take what I say as opinion and as I understand it.

Speaking of interesting applications, the Roomba 980 uses an optical tracking sensor in order to improve the accuracy of its mapping -- inconsistently gripping wheels make it impossible to navigate accurately on earlier models (hence the "bounce around randomly" approach) but watching the floor move past gives far more accurate positioning data than simply counting wheel rotations.
This is mostly correct but not entirely.

HTTPS is layered such that it's HTTP > TLS > TCP.

QUIC replaces the 'TLS > TCP' portion with 'QUIC > UDP', which you can then run HTTP or HTTP2 on top of.

QUIC is not an alternative to HTTP2 (yet), although there's work underway to (re-)define HTTP2 in terms of QUIC [1], thereby replacing the awkward transport protocol aspects of HTTP2 with the very similar mechanisms provided by QUIC.

Mithril does this, and I find its syntax much cleaner and easier to write in than JSX.

}),

Thanks for the reply. I understand that you may need to hold your cards a little close to your chest, but it's cool to get an idea of what you're working on. What you're proposing sounds really useful. I'm excited about the prospects for what another commenter called the startup approach to science; so many of the ways we're doing research and science could be improved drastically with newer, smarter platforms and methods. Good luck with yours, I hope you're wildly successful.
You are right, I was misremembering. The socketed KNL does not have QPI at all, so no multisocket boards are possible. Still the socketed KNL doesn't hang-off the PCI bus as it is its own host processor and has a dedicated link with memory.

Omnipath is used to drive both the Ethernet and PCIe.
Then they will use your unlocked phone and plant the evidence they need.

At least, if they can't unlock the phone, then they even have to worry about the evidence they fabricate as you might have something that counters it on the phone.

Someone posted my game (http://hextris.io/) on Hacker News - from there it spread to a few popular outlets (major tech news companies, subreddits, obscure but popular blogs), all organically.

That's not what he's doing. Paul Graham and Sam Altman have both openly repudiated Trump, not as someone whose ideas they disagree with but as someone whose efforts threaten the fabric of our society. Both Graham and Altman has publicly (and correctly) called Trump an aspiring dictator.

It is not then a "struggle session" when we point out to both of them that their actions and beliefs are incoherent: that they can comfortably disavow Trump while continuing to collaborate with one of Trump's chief enablers.

They are both, in a very small but (I think) meaningful way, working for the benefit of Donald Trump and the forces that make Trump possible.

If you support Trump, you are arguably in a safer moral position than Graham and Altman. Both of them believe you to be supporting a modern-day Mussolini. They have no regard at all for your politics. But they're both willing to continue profiting from and generating profit for Thiel through their entirely voluntary association with him.

(If you support Trump, I would implore you to reconsider).
That still says nothing about the code.
I agree. I have family still living there so watching out for when it is going to start. When people start dying because of lack of food and medication, I can't imagine a transition happening without spilled blood.

Pros: It's super useful not to have to worry about HTTPS renewal. The caddyfiles are super simple. The Caddy code is beautiful to read and simple to understand. The plugin system is great.

Cons: At load, we got bitten hard by the default proxy timeout behaviour. That particular issue has been fixed in 0.9.3 (fail_timeout).

Haven't had any other issues, but it does feel pretty stressful to run unproven software in prod. Thankfully, we can easily switch back to nginx if we need to.

Fascinating. Your comment got me to go googling for research on heat dissipation in 3D chips. A few links:

http://www.electronics-cooling.com/2013/03/measured-thermal-... which evaluates an approach of positioning wiring and soldering in each layer so they transmit heat vertically up to the heat sink.

http://www.nature.com/news/computer-engineering-feeling-the-..., which mentions among other things microfluidics where fluid flows through microscopic channels etched into the silicon.

Another great quote: "In a computer, as much as 96% of the machine's volume is used to transport heat, 1% is used for communication (transporting information) and just one-millionth of one per cent is used for transistors and other logic devices. By contrast, the brain uses only 10% of its volume for energy supply and thermal transport, 70% for communication and 20% for computation."

http://www.sematech.org/meetings/archives/3d/8334/pres/Fukus... has some neat pictures of simulated heat maps.
