He was talking not only about "hate speech" (though even this category has long since have been extended by some to include anything disagreeing with the Party Line) but about nationalism and policies of Trump in general, which has been wholesale called "hateful".

Of course, one can read it as "I oppose the policies of Trump that I consider hateful but not ones that are not" but since no way of distinguishing between the two has been offered, I assume that was not the intent and surely not how most of the people read it. It reads as a wholesale denunciation of Trump and his supporters as hateful. Maybe it wasn't the intent, but in that case the nuance was lost somewhere on the way.

In a message that instructs anybody who disagrees to resign the lack of nuance is not the best idea - unless that is exactly what the author meant.
Now that it's a deserted place I doubt it is worth much.
When browsing, I actually use both behaviors in different cases. C-<tab> and C-S-<tab> to cycle linearly, and then I use vimium shortcuts for more advanced navigation. So I survey tabs by tabbing through them, but when I'm going back and forth between two or three (citing things, for example) I use LRU-type features. Forcing people to use one or the other, regardless of which, is going to make them angry.

I agree, hard to understand the changes. Actually fond some addition info as I was writing this though. http://sortbenchmark.org/

Old record was 330 r3.4xlarge machines. Which actually cost very similar today. It looks like the old record used a LOT more RAM than this one. 40,260GB vs 3,152GB and similar CPU 5,280 vs 4,728 cores. Although having the RAM doesn't mean it was used, but unless they were using all the RAM I don't see why they would use the more expensive r3 instances.

Edit: Follow on, I think the cost savings is definitely in the low RAM usage. Can't really get that many cores without more than 3 times as much RAM in AWS.

I have to agree. This happens on forums as well. I've Google searched something before and found people discussing my problem on some random forum. Maybe I know something that might help, but its a hassle to create an account to post.

I bet that happens on Stack Overflow too. People who'll never bother to create an account find a page about a problem through Google and they have something valuable they'd add it if didn't prompt them to sign up first.

I wonder how much trouble it'd actually cause spam wise.
I think the low level machine learning stuff is going to become a commodity and might not really be worth your time.

For instance, I worked at a place where people couldn't be bothered to compute lagrange multipliers to apply constraints, or automate differentiation, etc. When I showed up they were going and circles and getting the project done was like pulling teeth. Huge amounts got spent on performance optimization with SIMD instructions and such, but really they should have used off-the-shelf algorithms and focused on value add.

The biggest challenges with machine learning are in formulating a problem which is both possible to solve and useful and in getting training data. Not a lot of people are doing that because of Kaggleism -- the way that academics and many would-be learners are competing to get another 0.01% accuracy on a small number of problems rather than industrializing their practice.
Because if I link to specific articles, it becomes about those articles, how the writers of them have their own axes to grind (e.g. William M. Connolley in http://scienceblogs.com/stoat/2016/11/14/judith-curry-wtf/ or http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2014/08/ipcc-a...), how the magazines and websites involved are all liberal mouthpieces (e.g. Scientific American via Nature.com, http://www.nature.com/news/2010/101101/full/news.2010.577.ht...).

Perhaps the most balanced article easily found is this one from the commie pinko NPR: http://www.npr.org/2013/08/22/213894792/uncertain-science-ju...

Re: William M. Connolley, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Connolley as a starting point to differentiate from many others with slight name variations.

I don't think any war was ever won by endlessly placing concrete. This has the hallmarks of WW1 trench warfare.
you can pretty well reproduce the same trends with ~300 stations in random positions around the globe too, as long as you can find a set of 300 that are all unchanged over the duration you look at.
Using thousands and doing a proper grid is good, but it is illustrative of how robust the trend is that you can pick it up with even an amateur effort.
Since people are enjoying their own interpretations of the headline, I'll propose yet another:

Largely the interpretations are based on unstated belief that a higher number of sexual partners is universally pursued or at least a proxy for some type of success, and the unstated belief that altruism is a universally valued trait. Yet, these two beliefs are particular to a specific cultures.

Moral Foundations Theory[1] seeks to identify some of the fundamental qualities that inform more complex moral judgments that members of different groups will make. In that list of fundamentals, a couple stand out as consistent with the popular interpretations here: care for others (altruism), and liberty (freedom to share intimacy with others).

However, other groups place a much greater emphasis on sanctity or purity, respect or authority, and fairly rendered justice. It is not difficult to imagine a group that feels people should be self-sufficient rather than receiving handouts, and that also believes the romantic ideal involves wooing a single partner for a lifetime.

So, the alternate interpretation of this headline could be that there is an association between valuing altruism highly, and openness to multiple sexual partners.

This also reads as reflex virtue signaling based on being sure that everybody in the company shares the same ideology bubble as the author, because all decent people do. This is only too frequent occurrence. No nuance was considered because none was necessary to consider - since everybody (worth considering) agrees anyway.

I've been poking at this for 4 or 5 years now. It started as a simple simplified air pressure simulator for teaching logic programming. But now you can make all sorts of stuff with it, like logic gates, adders and I'm working on a replica 4004. (Links below)

The website is awful for new users - It doesn't work on mobile, there's no tutorial and no real documentation on how to use the editor. Instead of fixing that I'm working on making a dedicated puzzle game built around the engine to teach all the concepts up to and including getting players to build their own CPUs.

The backend is powered by a FRP compiler, which I'm really happy with. You can have huge steam powered worlds and incrementally edit parts of them, and it does fancy incremental recompilation.

Things to Keep in Mind Regarding Snapchat's Upcoming IPO – Mattermark
Love it. You should add example problems.
Wizardry was my all-time favorite computer game growing up! Agree, fascinating to see the precursors. I had absolutely no idea about this.
I agree with the tree analogy, it is suboptimal for all to benefit a few. But that is a policy tool which can be used to reverse the excessive cost of optimization born by one half the country to benefit the other half. It's about getting the balance right.
So if I'm reading this right, the occupation in Iraq is a tower defense game. I really wouldn't have guessed...

The "Play DRM content" checkbox controls both the EME API and the automatic download and installation of the DRM blob (the Google Widevine CDM). So you are still correct. :)
Another strategy:

1. Come up with some counter-intuitive-sounding idea for a solution to a common problem.

2. Skim academic journals without vetting, noting down articles you can spin to support your idea.

3. Write a book.

4. Profit more.

WW3, SORO'S HAS LaunchED a SECRET WAR AGAINST PRESIDENT TRUMP,HAS HAD 3 DAY SEC
I don't criticize them for it, but protecting vehicles from IEDs and walling off sections of the city is still war activities, not nation building. Crucial stuff, no doubt, but I'm sure the people actually trying to build a nation would rather spend those resources on other stuff if there wasn't insurgency activity.
I'm sorry, but I have to question any information from someone who says that Three-Mile Island caused a no-mans-land worse than Fukushima.

It may not be decided. It is very very probably science, however.
To answer the question, yes. Yes I do.
You are like the majority of people out there... fear not! Most of us go on a hike or run and our first thought is to enjoy the moment, not share via some contrived social apparatus designed to, ultimately, sell us shit.

This is all just a phase.... I hope. Because social networking in the current form is insufferable.

Introducing Datomish, a flexible embedded knowledge store
Thanks. It's just plain JavaScript and some jQuery. It uses SVG so the browser takes on some of the work you'd have to do yourself with canvas, like having the shapes as their own element and detecting mouse events. This also makes it easy to export as SVG (just append .svg to the URL). Server stuff and a small backend runs on minimal PHP and MySQL, no frameworks. The data is stored in a JSON-based format. PNGs are generated from the SVG with ImageMagick. Keyboard shortcuts with jQuery.hotkeys.

Could be more modularized to allow touch input, multiplayer editing, use as a library etc., thus the needed rewrite :>

The endgame for this could be something like https://www.figma.com. They have collaborative editing, use canvas to completely do their own thing for graphics and React+Redux for the interface. Quite amazing.

Commercially available guns are the same or better as the guns used by US soldiers for the most part.

If you are talking about the US military doing aerial bombardment etc, of course these guns will not be a defense.

But if troops are going street to street, commercially available guns would enable resistance.

And the point here is not that the population would be able to win an all out war against the fully equipped army. That is a nonsensical scenario. It is that an armed population would be able to resist the Army, making all out war the only option. US army won't launch an all out war against the population, so this level of resistance is sufficient.

Hescos are different object for a different purpose. They are meant to stop inbound fire, not inbound people. Climbing over them is trivial, at least in comparison to a 3m tall concrete wall. Hescos are therefore useful only where they can be monitored. They are great for bases, but if you want to stop people from entering or exiting something as large as a city then you want something you don't have to patrol 24/7.

There is another upside to the Hescos. They are much more difficult to undermine (literally). They are relatively soft and will likely collapse any hole under them. Concrete structures don't slump and so can be undermined.
I'm not sure if Amazon has enough batch-processing type work to make this effective. You can't run amazon.com with these resources because their needs are inflexible.

Actually not sure about Google either – their preemtible instances are sold at an 80% discount, so that puts an upper bound on the usefulness of these machines for them.
I've got through the same pain. There's a reason why all these frameworks arose in the first place: frontend programming without them absolutely sucks.

JS dev is a shitshow because of npm, because of how fast things are moving, because of how many different frameworks and build tools exist. And most of all because of all the hipsterism, using new things because it's cool.

Really, you're going to take the French, who were attacked with a heavy truck 4 months ago resulting in the death of 86 people (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Nice_attack, because you might not believe me of course), as an example of a country where no killings with other weapons than guns happen?

Or you're going to ignore the last 10 entries on this list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_terrorist_incidents_in... which are all stabbings?

But no, these all aren't 'campus shootings' so they probably don't count in your (again) cherry-picked narrative.

But sure, feel free to continue your 'arguing by eye rolling', because if only everybody else was as enlightened as you are (you don't even need to look at reality to know you're right!), the world would be a better place, right? Excuse me if it's my turn this time to roll my eyes.

Trump is appalling. But media went from reporting that Trump was horrible, to cheerleading for Hillary. Some of them went further, and tried to be on the playing field on Hillary's team. That's a problem, and it's not justified by how horrible Trump is.
Why? Just a feeling? Like most things the truth probably lies somewhere in the "middle."
I had (or might have even) a low 6 digit number, and I think I remember that 5-digit numbers were sold for much more than $200.

A few might have been sold for around $5000 or even more. I am not sure though... I just remember that it was an unbelievably high number....
I don't follow the numbers on Snap, but my personal experience is that Snow is eating their share in Asia. You can build a big business without Asia, but it won't be enough to keep The Street happy. This IPO feels like a liquidation for investors who see the end of the road ahead for Snap.
The same happened where my parents grew up in WWII. When the Japanese forces came in, they mainly took out strategic points such as railway bridges, command centres etc. When the allied forces counter attacked later, they mainly bombed the railway yards killing almost all of the civilian labourers living there.
This makes me feel that i.e. looking for bone marrow donors may become obsolete in some cases, if we know the gene sequence responsible for the disease. Instead of looking for donors, it may actually be possible to repair bone marrow cells and inject them back, fixing the problem. Am I missing something here?
Yeah, I think it's pretty interesting to compare Germany with Japan in that case. Japanese cultural memory and historiography intensely remembers the suffering of civilians from famine, firebombing, and nuclear weapons [1] (but rarely from the military itself [2]), but even suggesting that German civilians suffered unnecessarily from strategic bombing in Der Brand (2002) earned Jörg Friedrich, a German historian of Nazi war crimes, widespread censure.

[1] Grave of the Fireflies is a gorgeous, heartbreaking film. Highly recommended!

I will have to disagree. AFAIK, the recent Qualcomm exploits don't affect Samsung's Exynos SoC. I have an Exynos S7 Edge and it ships with a feature to disallow (read: kill) apps trying to work in the background. After I fine-tuned this list, the phone's battery life improved noticeably.

Battery life has actually been slowly and steadily improving after each update by Samsung. I imagine this is a sign of Samsung not liking Google's spyware very much and trying their best to limit background activity.

None of us has solid proof of course, but judging by observable facts (and by the pretty awful battery life of the Nexus 6P and the Pixels -- compared to the Exynos S7 Edge at least), I'd say mine aren't that crazy.

These accomplishments are awesome nevertheless!

Motors lose torque as speed increases, its a fundamental limitation caused by back-EMF. ICE engines tend to have peak torque at several thousand RPM depending on their design. Therefore while electric motors are much better accelerating from a stop they are not as suited for providing torque at high speeds.
A simple wordsearch tool for scrabble players that I wrote twice:

updawg [https://github.com/martindemello/updawg] had the distinction of being the only wordsearch tool on the nokia n900. featurewise, it was a clone of lexpert, a popular app that ran on a few other mobile platforms. it was a vala/gtk/hildon wrapper around some open source wordsearch code, and it all just worked. the nice thing was after i wrote i for my own use, another scrabbler bought an n900 and was delighted to find she could get a wordsearch app for it.

varix [https://github.com/martindemello/varix] is my from-scratch rewrite of the same thing in ocaml, with more powerful searches. it's a linux TUI app so i haven't really tried to interest anyone else in using it, but i use it all the time and i love it.
