I think this is a major challenge too, although it depends. Some models are easy to reason about, e.g. Bayesian graphical models, while black-box approaches like deep neural networks are not.

One especially problematic issue is: if a model is too complex for humans to reason about, then a business could encode any kind of illicit behavior in the form of model parameters they like. Even if someone could prove that the model is biased one way or another, there is complete plausible deniability for the business, i.e. "I didn't make that choice, the learning algorithm did". We're in for some very interesting legal battles related to this, I think.

In terms of purchasing power for the world they are not upper middle class. They are in the higher eschalons in terms of wealth and economic means. I don't decry their plight but rather seek to put context to it. People in their income bracket have driven up land and housing prices in Belize, Costa Rica, Panama, Thailand, and elsewhere. That didn't make the world crazy in their eyes but having prices driven up in Auckland did. That perspective is crazy.

The problem is what time frame we are talking about. Yes, society looks nice now if you compare it to 200 years ago. But that's not relevant. The fact is by a lot of measurements (not limited to crime) the 1990s was the best decade ever (at least in the West). The question is how we can get back to that.

Preview's "modern" file model which forces you to duplicate files to work on them and then automatically creates files on the filesystem with a name you don't want and you then have to go and clean up.... annoying. A lot of non Mac monitors (I have two HPs at the moment) are not very sharp used with a Mac. Apparently only Apple monitors work well with MBP - this could be balooney by anti-mac it people, but the fact that the monitor is not sharp is a fact. With XCode the fact that you have to download the whole XCode when you just want Make for example, and it comes with its own version of Ruby, etc, and it causes havoc if you have installed your own version of Ruby. brew is good, but luckily certain core unix tools only seem to come with XCode

> Public transit works best for young healthy people.

So what if this is the case? Moving 20% of the moving population in 2% of the vehicle-volume almost quadruples the capacity for everyone else.

I don't buy your assertion in the large (most regions with effective pubic transport seem to move a roughly representative population of users -- including wealthy people). My point is that it could be true in the Bay Area (which is more spread out than your typical big city) but still not refute the need for mass transport.

The cost to execute a 250ms Lambda on the most expensive tier 1M times is about $7.70. If your data is in S3 the cost of 1M GETs at the most expensive is $0.40. You don't pay for transfer between S3 and Lambda.
Ah! Which brings to mind the quote from former NZ prime minister Rob Muldoon, commenting how the large numbers of Kiwis emigrating to Australia resulted in raising the average IQ of both countries.
But actually, no. Because you could set up HTTHTTTHHHHHHHHHH the format like this:

01001000
11001010

That's sixteen bits for 17 coinflips. With no continuous sequences longer than seven, this format takes up one extra bit every seven flips.

How does it work? The first bit is a sign bit. If it's zero, the next seven bits are raw coinflips, 0 for tails, 1 for heads. If it's one, the second bit signifies whether the next sequence consists of heads or tails (again, 0 for tails, 1 for heads), and the remaining six bits tell how long said sequence is.

This is a fairly simple encoding for the strategy described in the article, which I thought of off the top of my head in about five minutes, and I know nothing about compression. It's slightly broken (what if the sequence ends mid-byte?), but it does kind of work. Somebody who actually knows about compression could probably do this better.
nginx usually needs to start as root, in order to bind low-numbered ports, but the worker processes run as non-root.

Sandstorm works exactly the same way.

nginx can run as completely non-root, if you are OK with high-numbered ports.

Sandstorm can too, if you are OK with high-numbered ports and if unprivileged user namespaces are enabled.

If you are rich and already in the middle class, then maybe.

But it's not terribly good for the poor class.

...

Don't let wealth create unneeded divides. When you enter the mindset of "us vs. them" you will always be unhappy.

Edit: I grew up in a very poor community and our family yearly income was well under the poverty line (20,209 in Canada). The middle class has always been the richest people in the world for me. Now that I am part of it, I don't feel rich at all. However, I know that I am lucky. It's question of perception. Don't let them divide and conquer you for political gains.
Ok, if you go that route, don't complain about rich people wanting more and more. They are just "improving their living conditions".

That's gross oversimplification for western amateur audiences. His Holiness is trying to speak the language of common western consumer.

Behind our anxiety is ignorance. Period. Ignorance is described as a veil that obscures the view of what is from so-called primordial awareness or Atman, if you wish - the aspect of the whole (Brahman) in us. (The Buddha explicitly rejected the notion of Atman, but numerous later Indian (tantric) writers messed everything up). It is like continuous day-dreaming. The meaning of Awakening is literal awakening from this habitual delusional day-dreaming to what is.

Most of our fears are due to misapprehension of reality, like classic mistaking of a rope for a snake, and our attaching to (and hence the fear of losing) that illusory my self, which is nothing, but an appearance to ignorant and confused introspection.

This crude formulation is as old as Upanishads.
I was a bit disappointed in this article for the same reason: this is a great primer for people new to MPEG video compression, but it doesn't have anything to do with H.264.

I was hoping the author would write about H.264 specifically, for instance, how it was basically the "dumping ground" of all the little tweaks and improvements that were pulled out of MPEG-4 for one reason or another (usually because they were too computationally expensive), and why, as a result, it has thousands of different combinations of features that are extremely complicated to support, which is why it had to be grouped into "profiles" (e.g., Baseline, Main, High): http://blog.mediacoderhq.com/h264-profiles-and-levels/

I was also hoping that he would at least touch on the features that make H.264 unique from previous MPEG standards, like in-loop deblocking, CABAC Entropy Coding, etc..

Again, it's fine as an introduction to video encoding, but there's nothing in here specific to H.264.

Nope. There is chip looking like PMU on board with at least two output power rails. For VoCore 1 there were two MT3410L converters, one for 3.3V and one for 1.8V. With switching converter total power consumption should be close to SoC power consumption, not depending on input voltage.

Also specification is pretty clear: 74mA wifi standby, 230mA wifi full speed, 5V input. Input voltage range: 3.6V ~ 6.0V.
It depends. My current laptop MBP Retina will probably last a long time. If USB-C support is good and the new function row turns out well, then I will probably buy it. If not, I'll probably go for something else (maybe just another MBP Retina if they're still up to snuff).
I recently experienced this as follows: https://www.sublimetext.com has an animation which is drawn via JavaScript. In essence, it loads a huge .png [1] that contains all the image parts that change during the animation, then uses <canvas> to draw them.

> You are just repeating the same failed and disproven logic that people like J.F. Dulles were advocating.

I'm definitely repeating the logic of the state. To be clear here, this isn't old logic attributable to Dulles or Eisenhower but the rationality behind current US strategy.

This military/security logic is consistent over the past 70 years of great power struggle and I add it here not because I buy into all of the conclusions but because the arguments must be understood from the perspective of policy and decision makers in order for there to be a real dialogue between citizens and the state. Namely, citizens have to acknowledge the paranoid and aggressive tendencies of the state and understand reasoning from their perspective to counter the arguments.

When this isn't the case (look at Libya and Syria) the state interprets citizens' unhappiness to have to do with the number of soldiers killed (for example) or the financial costs of insurgency and so pursues proxy wars, support of terrorism, economic warfare, information warfare and other types of irregular aggression.

Anyway, pretty much fully agreed with your reply here.

While true in general, you always end up introducing latency (simply because it's on a different host) and possible packet losses/retransmits (e.g. when the switch buffer memory overruns). Given the "hft" in the blog name (high-speed financial transactions), both can equal losses of money.

There are divisions that are tested--monthly polygraphs and urine/blood. You've never heard of them. When people think about bodybuilding, they imagine freaks, which is not a natural state.

In software, we say: good, fast, cheap; pick two. In bodybuilding: big, lean, natural; pick two.

You can have a lot of mass and if you carry extra fat, or you can be shredded to the bone and carry a lot less lean mass. Naturally, the lower fat reserves run, the higher the chance that catabolic hormones break down lean mass. If you want to be big, lean, and win shows, you need to take the growth and steroid hormones to flip some bits on the config files in your muscular/adipose tissue to allow it.

Your DNA is the software for your body. Hormones bind to receptors on cells, get transported into the cell, bind to internal receptors, and then this complete structure moves into the nucleus where it transcribes certain DNA sequences into RNA chains that will be fed through ribosomes to produce proteins (your hardware).

Steroids/hormones (everything from vitamin D to testosterone) is the body's mechanism of editing /etc/* and calling kill -HUP on select daemons. Steroids evolved as the process for doing this because it's biologically impractical to grow a nerve ending to every single cell in the body.

2) Then you can have independent candidates that can jump in

3) People finally vote for the president

- The number of electoral votes is decided by the population distribution on the state

- Another complication each state can have a different way of solving ties

I agree. Hard not to when practicing insight leads to those same conclusions.

Having said that, I think this perspective is worth examining. I usually find an example of the emotional energy and start probing it to see if it holds up -- that is to say, do I really sense a fear whose encoded story is 'to not be needed'? How does that flow? Maybe it is there and maybe it isn't.

That's a rather short-sighted comment. We use similar functionality to build an end-user reporting system which queries multiple DBs, many of which are part of vendor applications. Trusted users write the SQL, parameterize it with django-templates. Users enter parameters in widgets. SQL is generated using the templates, executed on the target DB with RO credentials, and returned in a grid/csv/excel/json.

When you are taking a walk in the woods, or running or doing anything of that sort, you are doing something. Not doing anything is meditation. And when I say not doing anything, I don't mean it nonchalantly, I mean it literally - not doing anything, including not thinking. Just being. It's very simple but not very easy. Meditation is the opposite of any action whatsoever.
I concur. Before the announcement I wanted to buy a new MacBook Pro to replace my three year-old MacBook Air, but I was disappointed in what was announced (MacBook keyboard with very little key travel, being limited to 16GB RAM, and the other upgrades being rather incremental). I plan to stick to my MacBook Air for a while longer since it's in perfectly working condition.

My ideal situation would be to migrate to PC hardware, but the problem is I'm dissatisfied with the OS situation there. Windows is still annoying to use after all of these years, the Linux desktop experience seems to always be perpetually behind OS X and even Windows, and making a Hackintosh is an EULA violation (which matters to me since I use my computers in public, professional environments). I agonized about this over three years ago before eventually succumbing and buying a MacBook Air despite my dissatisfaction with Apple's trend toward non-upgradeable computers. I don't want to buy another non-upgradeable computer, but I don't like Windows and the Linux desktop, either.

I would be very interested in some sort of alternative OS, and I think the time is ripe for the development of one.

I think the intention is that you run something like DD-WRT on it. 8MB of storage is a bit tight even for DD-WRT however, if I was looking at these boards I would seriously consider splurging on the $12 model to avoid the low storage headaches.

If I were building a hundred or more devices I'd do the work to make the $4 version work, but for a one-off it's not worth the headache.

The PCIe option is surprising. I'm not sure what I would use it for, but it does open up some unusual possibilities.
