During my engineering studies days, I studied the book "Computer System Architecture (3rd ed.)" written by M. Morris Mano. This book was phenomenal in my life because it taught me exactly where the hardware meets the software. This book helped me to understand exactly how the hardware fetches, decodes and executes the software on a physical electronic circuit. In fact, I liked this book so much that I implemented the theoretical machine described in the book (called Mano Machine by many) on a Xilinx XC9572 PC84 CPLD Trainer kit.

See https://github.com/susam/mano-cpu for the VHDL source code that implements the Mano Machine. The file report.pdf contains a description of the work which is mostly a gist of the portions of the book relevant to my implementation of the machine and some additional description of my implementation. I did not make any assembler or compiler for it, so I had to push DIP switches on the kit to load instructions on a RAM (implemented on another kit) to program the CPU and test it.

I recommend this book to anybody who wants to understand the basics of how a CPU is implemented in its hardware form.
I'm keen to pursue this, it's in an enclosed space.

We can go from there.
Yep - group of us found some original recordings, never released, from a bankrupt company once upon a time. Assets were never purchased by anyone. If we hadn't preserved, they would have gone to the tip and never been released.
Just because they're numerous doesn't mean they're not a lunatic fringe.
For a claim to be literally infringed, every element of the claim must be present in the allegedly infringing use. Since the first element of the first claim is "identifying a subject exhibiting symptoms...", that element would need to be present in the private citizen's use as well. A single private citizen following a dietary protocol is probably not "identifying a subject exhibiting symptoms..."

Further, the language "administering multiple cycles of a diet protocol to the subject" seems to imply that multiple persons are needed in order to carry out this method, so it could be argued that a single private citizen could not infringe the claim by himself in any circumstances.

The same reasoning applies to all of the other claims since all of the claims as issued depend from claim 1 or from claims 16, 25, or 28, which have similar limiting language.
I'm originally from Brazil, so I've seen my fair share of traffic awfulness :) What I see in Bellevue is mild in comparison, but just as an example, today someone cut an entire lane in front of me to enter their garage.

An almost weekly occurrence is seeing people stick half their car onto the street when leaving a parking garage I drive by often, and only then stopping to watch for incoming traffic. I've parked in that garage before and I know there's plenty of visibility from the exit; it's like people don't realize there's a whole chunk of metal before the driver's seat.
Kubernetes Founders Launched Startup Heptio to Bring Containers to Enterprise
from http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2016/11/worlds-largest-mu... ... including snippet here because the story has changed a few times:

UPDATE, 11:59 p.m. Eastern: Ars has received a response from the operator of What.cd's Twitter account. The respondent would only identify him or herself as "an administrator" of the former site, but the person alleges that the torrent site's operation was shut down by its administrators, not a police or government force.

"The facts are pretty skimpy right now," What.cd's representative says. "We have no official confirmation that servers were seized, but all available evidence does support that, so we are operating as if it is true." That being said, what.cd's administrators are confident that its major database of user information was not seized by French authorities: "The site was operational until we shut it down."

That shutdown decision was made by What.cd's operators out of heightened precaution, as opposed to being forced by an authority to do so, the representative tells Ars. That person also noted that issues with the site's IRC server match up with information gleaned from today's Zataz report.

"I wouldn't be surprised to see some other site try to fill the void, but for now, we have no plans to try to return," the What.cd administrator says.

Well, sure, employers are free to waste their employees' time and make their lives complicated in all sorts of ways; that's what the paycheck is for. So what? It's still a crappy way to design apps, and I'm not going to respect it just because people successfully get away with it.
Maybe it's better to learn to deal with fake news, in this hyperconnected society. The old days of paper news and TV are long gone. Every politician I know has a FB and Twitter accounts from where they emit their bullshit. They make videos and post them online. That's why we don't need press conferences and coverage any more. And news can't be paywalled any more because anyone can write about anything, including rewording articles from other sources.

The problem with FaceBook is that it is built in such a way as to create a separate view into the network for each person. By contrast, on reddit, everyone sees everything and debates anyone in comments, not just their friends. So the bubbling effect is much more pronounced on FB. People form cliques that drink their own kool-aid.

Maybe some basic journalistic notions should be taught in primary school and high school. How to separate BS from news and how to report on events. If we are to be self-styled journalists, then at least we should learn about it.
Yeah, I agree in some regards. I especially dislike "majority winner" as an ideal. But at least Score Runoff gets the runoff candidates as consensus options from pure score (although that means it loses the value of score for 2-candidate situations.

Instant-runoff advocates have a series of arguments against score
voting and only one of them is valid: the concern about an unequal balance of
strategic voting from one side and not the other. And since Score Runoff
addresses that (and even addresses the wrong arguments about the supposed
value of majorities), Score Runoff means the only critique any IRV person can
validly present is that SRV isn't simple. Of course, IRV isn't any simpler.

I find it baffling that all the energy seems to focus on the worst of the
voting reforms. Condorcet and Borda and other rank systems are even themselves
better than IRV, regarldess of the fundamental problems with all rank systems.

Anyway, if some people put in the time and energy to mount a real reform
campaign for anything other than IRV, I'd still support it. I really want
everyone to get behind cardinal (i.e. rating) systems of some sort.
Approval, score, and score runoff all have their merits and are all
acceptable and better than rank voting (especially better than IRV)

As long as we're talking about a cardinal system, I'm going to join whatever
movement gets the most headway toward actually succeeding in getting passed.
Yeah, it was interesting seeing Rachel Maddow jump from "3rd party voting screwed us" to "down with the electoral college" and now it's somehow all about Facebook clickbait. This one seems like the narrative most likely to catch on.
Regarding the Fortune article, I'm not sure if that's an accounting "trick" as it's more of a risk factor. Tesla gave a resale value guarantee on loans starting over 3 years ago which had a clause that the buyer could sell back their cars to Tesla at end of 3 years for a certain guaranteed price. A very small % of people have redeemed this guarantee, showing that Tesla vehicles are holding their resale value very well. This shows there's low risk for a massive financial loss in their resale guarantees to leasing partners. Sure, there's always risk but the risk of Tesla vehicles suddenly losing a ton of value (much more than expected) seems quite slim.

Regarding Solarcity, yes I've seen reports saying they become subsidiary. But Elon has mentioned a few times that Tesla will assume all of Solarcity's debt.
Oy, give it a break. Not everything is about this election, and you can't just blame the internet for it.

Yes, the internet allows people to be mis-informed if they don't care for being informed. Still, not being connected at all is basically equivalent to not being able to connect meaningfully with modern civilization. I literally don't know anyone who isn't connected to the internet. It's simply a prerequisite for modernity.
'stopped' does not necessarily mean 'ceased' when discussing human behaviour. Laws against murder and theft stop murder and theft, but doesn't zero them.
The Buffett family (yes, that Buffett family) is big into farming. While grain seems to be more up their ally, operating several thousand acres of corn and soybeans, expansion may be appealing to them. Warren's grandson's VC firm is known to invest in progressive agriculture-related businesses. If the right opportunity arrived, I don't see why they wouldn't take up the opportunity.

And if we are willing to be lenient on what VC means, Warren's son is known to have invested in chicken ranches for humanitarian reasons.
> This is entirely normal - the young like things to change, the old do not. This voting pattern well predates the internet.

Makes no sense given the context. Clinton was absolutely not the change candidate in this election.

Old people predominantly voted for a shakeup, a radical change in the way American govt operates.
I've been meaning to try and do an estimate related to this. Just how much CO2 could be pulled out of the air by _extensive_ farming of fast growing trees. We could find ways to use as much of the wood as possible (construction materials, etc.), and just sink the remaining wood in cold water where the carbon would stay locked away for 100+ years.
True. But their car seemingly has not been located; that suggests they didn't stop at a well frequented trailhead.

One possible scenario is that they suffered a mechanical breakdown in a remote road or wash, similar to the Death Valley Germans. If they had, say, a 5 gal jug of water in their car (as one should, if headed into the desert), they could survive much longer if they remained with the car, did not eat, and did not exert themselves.

Priority obviously needs to be locating the car, which aerial searches are pretty good for.
I registered "steve.org.uk" back in 1999 and it cost me way more than $25. In fact I hate to think how much I've paid for it over the years, it's been a while now!

(Recently managed to register "steve.fi", as it expired just a few months after I relocated to Finland. That was a happy coincidence. I guess that means I have two vanity-domains!)
People don't like making choices. It is a cognitive burden especially if you're in a new and unusual place. Unusual to you, not the locals obviously. So having a guide can help and when you revisit the place you can go on a more freeform adventure.

I think this is a pretty good idea but not sure how I feel about AirBnB monopolizing the thing. If there is some kind of exclusivity component then the aggregation of "experiences" on a single platform is not beneficial in the long run.
We didn't have internet when I was in high school

I just taught a class[1] where the idea was that everybody would learn to spin up a GPU-backed AWS instance and learn to train their own tensorflow models.

Unfortunately, I was the only person who was able to launch an instance, though almost everyone was able to log into AWS and go through the pre-launch instance configuration. I think maybe having everyone request a g2 instance at roughly the same time triggered some sort of fraud-prevention system.

Maybe there's some kind of priming people can do to prepare their accounts before the class, but maybe next time we should try Azure.

(The class went mostly OK, though. I just showed people what I intended to help them do themselves.)

FB audited a bunch of metrics and found issues with 4 out of 220. The narrative being pushed here is that all of them nefariously favored FB. The only problem with that is that it's not true.

> """Elsewhere, Facebook admitted to exaggerating the number of full views that video ads received"""

You can tell they didn't do any homework, since the issue was that full views were under reported when the audio and video tracks were not the exact same length. The result is that full views were actually roughly 35% greater than what page managers saw reported.

http://newsroom.fb.com/news/2016/11/an-update-on-metrics-and... goes into the details of what the issues with each metric calculation is. You can draw your own conclusions as to whether each was (a) important and (b) favored FB. That link also goes into FB's plans for next steps in making metrics externally audited and more transparent.
Why does the press lap up anything that Stephen Hawking says?

He is a brilliant physicist so I would definitely listen to his opinion in that specialist area. But he is not an expert on climate change, artificial intelligence or global extinction events. There are experts in those other areas that are worth listening to but just because Mr Hawking says something in those areas does not mean it is gold dust. If you want to know the possible dangers of AI then talk to Andrew Ng but Stephen Hawking is not your man. Would be listen to Kim Kardashian's opinion on climate change? I hope not as she is not qualified in that area, being well known does not mean you have expertise. Just an opinion and that opinion might be no better than the general public.

/RantOver
We could further ask, do we want to be smarter and more productive?

I always keep thinking about another research I've read about ([0] seems to be an article about it that I found just now, but I haven't searched hard for any rebuttals) that diverse communities experience less trust and less civic engagement. Basically, it makes sense that similar people want to stick together, and personally I see no reason why we shouldn't let them! (Conversely, those that prefer to live in diverse communities should also get the choice.) Another example is, plenty of Brexit voters knew that Brexit would be bad for economy, but supported it nevertheless because they expected other benefits to outweigh it, so I don't think arguments concerning the economy should overrule all other considerations.

Btw, I disagree about free speech - it seems to be pretty dangerous (career-wise, if not life-wise) these days to offend people (see Tim Hunt, Donglegate, Justine Sacco).

I guess my broader point was embedded in my original post - these questions have multiple answers, but not necessarily the right answer. People have different opinions and priorities, and they're not necessarily better or worse, just different. I think we should respect that and accommodate this kind of diversity ("opinion diversity") into our society, not try to exterminate it by shaming those that disagree with us and trying to change their minds. This is a great article that describes such a world: [1].

I've read interesting post couple of days ago about Global Warming on reddit:

"Hey guys this research isn't really finding out anything that wasn't already known. RCP 8.5 scenario, which they assumed in their modelling, has long been known to be effectively Armageddon. Any temperature rise past 5.5 degrees is probably irrelevant because there wont be any humans left to deal with that outcome.

However it's looking increasingly likely that we aren't on the RCP 8.5 pathway. RCP 8.5 calls for steady continued growth in emissions of around 3%+ per year, which is what we were on in the early part of this decade. The last three years emissions have been effectively flat in spite of ongoing economic growth, and the Paris pledges that will keep warming to about 2.8 degrees call for the emissions peak to be in 2040~ (RCP 4.5). Based on trends in renewables, the downturn in the coal industry, and emissions growth halting, it's increasingly hard to see how we could possibly get back on track to an RCP 8.5 scenario.

2.8 degrees will still be terrible for environment, the economy, and poorer nations of course, and we should really be aiming for the RCP 2.6 scenario, where emissions peak no later than 2020. It's possible emissions have peaked already, but we will need more than three years of data to determine that. Of course, than comes the hard part of taking offline the carbon intensive elements of the world economy (i.e Coal)"

Did you even read the article? It's about implication of Facebook in international politics. I have relatives in India and I know exactly how this plays out. They are constantly sharing fake news that confirms their bias. For example one of the stories was how NASA has validated a religious book in India which had calculated the distance between Earth and Sun
Sadly, this is a naive view, and perpetuated by people who wants to push more ad channels in the name of "empowering" communities...

Access to information does not mean consumption. If you give access to internet to 100 people, 99 of them will use it for Facebook or Porn.

1. If you have enough motivation, learning about anything was already possible even before Internet (local libraries and resources)

2. If you don't have enough motivation, then providing access to Internet, is not going to make a difference.

So the key to a smarter planet does not lie in providing internet. But in installing enough motivation, imagination and a quest for knowledge and free thought in younger generations.

But sadly, the Internet of today seem to work against this by providing perpetual distraction and addictive/useless chitchat across the world......
How would you know if it turned out that they were already objective?
Why write off the possibility of foreign influence in our elections? Is the NSA in on the conspiracy too?

I also think the story that all these people who voted for Obama switched to Trump isn't true. The people who voted for Obama didn't even vote this election [1].

Martin Wicke had a few hundred of us up and running in AWS-powered lab environments, each with our own GPU, at the NVidia GTC in April. Now, they also had a direct line of communication to somebody at AWS to make sure that many GPUs were available. Maybe a call to let them know what you're up to? I'm sure they want people using the gear.
Kubernetes API
You say it's concerning, but why? Have you asked what your team thinks? If they are responsible for the code they're maintaining, then they ought to be able to determine their own process for review. From my experience, I have seen issues arise during last-minute code clean-ups that were not even in response to review comments, but I don't think it's worth the overhead of 'yet another process' for everyone to remember unless you can automate it.

I just listened to Click and Clack a couple weeks ago, and a guy called in asking why his brakes caught on fire after he went down a long hill.

Suffice to say that they do not recommend against engine braking--quite the contrary. Think about it: the engine is already spinning, so spinning it at a higher RPM for a few tens of seconds does no more wear than accelerating.

The issue is not brake wear--the issue is brake fade, and potentially boiling your brake fluid!

When you're going down a long hill, downshift and save your brakes! It could save your life!
> You can tell they didn't do any homework,

It's not a question of "doing their homework". That's the naive cop-out. The inflation of metrics and numbers is company-wide, and I am pretty certain most - if not all of it - is deliberate. Especially after 'Zuck' took the Company Public.
