>I didn't previously understand matrix multiplication, but now I do.

This belief is why so many people are complaining about the site. Put simply I (and I assume others) do not believe that you understand matrix multiplication as a result of this site.

We could be wrong. Please explain matrix multiplication.

Iran supplied evidence that the US gave as reason to invade Iraq? Nice try!

How Iraq was broken is still fresh in our minds, so don't attempt to rewrite history.
I haven't paid for it but also don't use it.

I paid for a TextMate license years and years ago when it was the hot thing everybody said to just use, but quickly went back to Emacs and mostly swore off the "this year, X is the hot editor everybody should switch to" fads. These days when I need to display some code in a GUI editor (common when doing code-review sessions projected on a screen), I fire up VS Code, which is shaping up to be quite good.
I paid for it after I got paid for writing code for the first time. Seemed like the decent thing to do. I was also considering starting a screencast series, and having an editor that wouldn't nag me for a license in the middle of a video seemed important.
I paid. I also paid for BBEdit. I still use both.
How does keras compare to theano?
I had that iPhone moment when I first drove my kei car (Suzuki Lapin) in Japan. It cost around USD13K new, gets around 80 mpg, carries four people easily or decent amount of cargo, and is packed with simple and useful tech like exterior cameras, radar-assisted braking, airbags, touch screen, etc. If I could own this car in America, I definitely would.
Then you have collusion, and this is what we want. This is a very typical control in regulated environments. It makes the action more difficult to execute, and it tends to carry an additional penalty as a separate offense.

This is bigger than trolling. We know people inspect the social network activities of others. This kind of abusive can result in all sorts of bad things. What if and admin didn't like you, edited your history, and then suddenly you lost your job for some fabrication of, e.g., a racist comment?
In accepting this position, are you not allowing others to be harmed? I'm assuming you're not uniquely being abused by the powers that be.
There are 2-4 employee companies processing $1B+ per month? Source please.
I've paid for Sublime Text, TextMate 2, and IntelliJ IDEA.
I paid for Sublime, and worth every cent. Loved it, and although I now use a mix of Atom/VSCode, there will always be a soft spot in my heart for Sublime!

Yes. Select a single word.
> [California legislation] has no practical effect on people in Louisiana

People underestimate the side effects of state-level or city-level legislation. Due to the size of the California economy the laws in California absolutely have practical effects on people in Louisiana. This is why national and international laws and agreements matter.

For example, environmental regulations on automobiles (this interview transcript is obviously one example and needs to be evaluated in the context of alternative information, but I think it's adequate to demonstrate the point that interactions between states are significant to a degree that dismissing them is risky): http://e360.yale.edu/feature/californias_clean_car_rules_hel...

Keras uses Theano as a backend. It's a library with higher-level abstractions for neural networks.
I've been using Sublime for a couple of years (switched from vim). I haven't paid for it. I probably would have paid already if it was cheaper (< $30).
How to write a Repository
I think open source software was much more effective in solving the problem of duplication, albeit a slightly different problem (not as effective with hardware). As an aside, does anyone building software these days not have quite a lot of FOSS in their tech stack? Imagine if we had to pay for Windows NT 2011 to run our containers. :)
So right now it comes from other people's paycheck but does it have to? Why don't rich countries like the US, Switzerland or Japan not print money to cover their spending?

Inflation is not the problem it used to be and I actually think it's a much better measure of the economy's capacity than unemployment. Would inflation of 4% be that bad for the public and financial system anyways?

In the US at least I strongly oppose tax-based welfare because I percieve it as a rigged system where the wealthy can avoid paying their fair share through loop holes and classifying their income differently than mine. But inflation in a sense is unavoidable and progressive since the more money you have the more you lose to inflation if you don't invest it. This is especially true if the cause of inflation is labor scarcity and not some other key resource like oil.
I paid happily. ~1hr of work for a tool I use all day every day. Support independent developers!

Being publicly traded doesn't automatically mean you're not a startup. Startup = growth, and there are plenty of other things aside from stock price or employee count to look at. For example, Tesla was public when they just made a single car model, but now Tesla is an energy company and expecting rapid, multi-year exponential growth from new markets. That kind of search for product market fit and growth from a company is much more of a startup attribute than anything else, and looking at how a company plans to grow is a much better indicator of how we should use 'startup' than "is it public or private".

India's modern history perhaps, but Indian influence once stretched all across SE Asia. Angor Wat is the largest Hindu temple in the world[1], for example; Bali is all that remains of Hindu control of Indonesia[2]. Though it seems unlikely that the PRC government is thinking in those terms.

Very affordable ownership will be viable if you're willing to lend your car into the share fleet when you're not using it. Might even be near break-even; the natural benefit of fronting the capital for production.
I paid, I stopped using it because I felt like there wasn't a whole lot of transparency with development. I now bop between vim and atom.
I just finished working through this book and I really enjoyed it. I went from next to no Python knowledge to writing programs to analyze raw vibration data in a few days. I had previous experience with Matlab and this book was very useful in bridging the gap between the two systems.
a) is this worse than the current system?

b) Is it really human nature?

This is what social norms are for. Slavery is for now still mostly frowned upon, and in some circles even racism is. Even though using either usually results in huge personnal gains for some.
Chiming in alongside the other posts to say that I have never felt like I was isolated after deleting my FB account 6 years ago.

There are plenty of sources for news and events (I find that Twitter is great for this) and I easily keep up to date with friends and family via a mix of messaging apps.
The CMU Sphinx project as it stands is basically dead. Even though they recently implemented some sequence-to-sequence deep learning techniques for g2p [1], the core stack is still based on an ancient GMM/HMM pipeline, and current state of the art projects (even open source ones) have leapfrogged it in terms of accuracy. If you're implementing offline speech recognition today, start with something like this or Kaldi-ASR [2]. It will take a bit of work to get your models to running on a mobile device, but the end result will be much more usable.

I paid for it some time ago. I have also paid for a few licenses of Textpad.
(I work at Stripe.) No, those rates are not an intro offer. Interchange, the largest cost in processing credit card transactions, is much cheaper in the U.K. than it is in the U.S., thus we can price lower.
Why is this noteworthy? This is obvious to anyone with even minimal knowledge of the Middle East.

There was an Iraq/Iran war in the 80's with casualties in the millions. Iraq, a country with a dominant Shia population was ruled by Saddam and the Baathists, an elite Sunni minority.

The conflicts and politics in the Middle East are very complex, but you can paint it with a broad Sunni vs. Shia brush. Before this, there was a secular, pan-Arab movement in the middle east, tacitally supported by the USSR, but the west didn't like the idea of a pan-Arab movement. So this is the result

Similarly, the actual votes to polling results were also very skewed. It likely correlates.

Oil will not be cheap forever. It is a scarce resource that will only become even more scarce as we go hence the price inevitably will go up.

In terms of Tesla (and electric cars for that matter), I never had the need to own a car because I happen to live in a cosmopolitan city that has a good transportation network. However, since I am now moving into the suburbs I am thinking to buy a car and I am pretty sure it will be a Tesla because electric makes sense if you happen to care about the environment.

That being said, I am not convinced that electric powered vehicles are better for the environment in this very moment because 8% to 15% of the electricity is lost in transmission and electricity generation is not a zero sum game. However, this can change very rapidly if we happen to build more localised sources of energy such as local photo cells, etc. - and yes solar roofs is the way to go.

Same here. Used it for free while studying and open source projects. Bought it as soon as I got a paying job, coincidentally coding in sublime. Fantastic tool. Fantastic community.

I disagree.
Having a "negative spin" is precisely what we need.

I paid for it years ago. Still use it today with Vim bindings.
>Why don't rich countries like the US, Switzerland or Japan not print money to cover their spending?

Printing money is equivalent to a tax on all US dollar holdings. The value of the printed money is subtracted from everyone else's holdings by inflation. Doing this excessively, e.g. to fund the entire public sector, would cause an inflationary spiral, as everyone tries to get rid of their rapidly-devaluing dollars as quickly as possible.
That lake is not just huge, but crazy deep. It's bigger than the state of Maine in terms of area and in places is deeper than the Empire State Building is tall.

The current web has a toleration and free speech problem. When only a minority of researchers, professionals, and students were online, there was enough of an online culture of intellectualism and respect (though it still got pretty wooly even in the 80's) that things still kinda worked.

Generations of internet f#cwads, forums with deletions, and heavy-handed moderation has taught the general populace that the other side is stupid, ugly, and deplorable, and that only moderation mechanisms and the shouting of the crowd prevail. Things have gone from the internet as a repository of knowledge, to an unstoppable font of clickbait and fake news.

It's true. We can't have nice things. We, being human beings without social pressures to keep us in check.
Really? In Northern Europe I would argue we have this working decently well. To point where we have a health care system and educational system which is both less expensive than some and more productive/effective at the same time.
Paid. Best investment ever.
It doesn't seem reasonable to call Netflix a utility but not Internet service, though.
After a few years using sublime for free I paid for it.
I've paid for it after maybe using it a year. The app is very good and I decided it was worth my money.
I've been using it for many years now, and have paid for it at some point. It is a tool that makes me so productive, and the only one with python plugins. I happen to know some python, so I can fix extensions that don't work without having to wait for a fix from elsewhere. Also, the possibility to write my own is invaluable. Paying for sublime text was something I have never regretted.
Electric cars can't drive more than ~10 hrs a day without recharging.

And that's at the upper range (250mi+ range). All the lower range cars like Leaf and Spark EV will run out of charge in 3 hours.
I trace the death of the Web I loved to around 2007-2010. That's about when it seemed like it stopped getting better and started getting worse.

- Google seemed to give up the spam war and start just returning only major sites for the top of most results around that time.

- Youtube started to become a way to make money, which was the beginning of the end for it. Google advertising IIRC started to get big on it around that time, too.

- Facebook started to expand beyond college networks and the recently-graduated to grandma and grandpa.

- Google generally started to Be Evil in a real way, fairly consistently.

- Amazon started to get all crapped-up with 3rd party retailers and print-on-demand garbage infecting even their book results, making it worse overall.

The main difference now is that instead of sorting through some small-time spam and ad-junk material to find the good stuff, the whole damn thing, practically, is spam and ad-junk. Local news sites look like click farm ad spam sites from the early 2000s. Ads in google results. Wading through disguised and explicit advertising and self-promotion on Youtube to find anything good. "1 weird trick!" on once-respectable sites. "Buy my (shitty) ebook to learn my secrets!" everywhere. We didn't beat spam—it ate the Web. It is the Web. The weird-but-good still exists but is harder to find. The Web kinda sucks now, unless you like advertising.

I'm pessimistic about it ever getting better. Maybe some new frontier will follow it, and that'll be OK for 1-2 decades before it gets ruined, too.
Hi and thanks for the work on Roslyn, I really like what you guys are doing with it.

Yeah, I know, many of the features of ReSharper are something VS should have had for a decade, regardless whether ReSharper has them or not. We - VS users - tried to tell VS dev teams in around 2005 that JBuilder (of all things, if you can remember that - it got eventually Eclipsed) had better refactoring and navigation tools than Visual Studio. The message from VS has consistently been that you are going to fix that, and when I heard of Roslyn, I though that this time it may be really happening. Only it has been ten years. Luckily .NET/C# was marginally better from developer perspective than JVM/Java from the beginning (the difference has grown ever since), and ReSharper (and other plugins) helped to keep Visual Studio afloat until today.

Now that Microsoft has embraced open source, community contributions, shorter release cycles, .NET Core, etc., I think you have a great foundation for the next ten years of .NET.

Oh, rest assured, I will continue to bug you guys through different channels.
In America, most houses have some 220, intended for a clothes dryer and perhaps an oven or air conditioning.

For a Tesla, a standard 110v circuit charges at 3.5 mph; 220 is 2x or 4x depending on the amperage of the circuit.
My point is to explain the hard headed calculation behind a hiring process that has a lot of folk crying "not fair!"
Oh, there are people forced to endure such commutes. For what it's worth, some school and university mates had 2-hour-plus one-way commutes.

Now add in the usual stuff like people throwing themselves in front of a train (happened quite often to those whose train passed by a mental health institution), random technology breakdowns (some parts of Munich S-Bahn operate on a single rail for both directions, it gets nasty when something happens), cops/paramedics attending to people on the train, idiots blocking the train doors and causing delays, car drivers too stupid to see the tramway approaching (and only waking up once the tram crashes into their car, blocking the single tram to the university)... the delay record, I believe, was something like six hours total what should have been 2,5h.

And those affected most by long commutes and the "random" (aka daily) service interruptions usually were those with not as much money as the rest - because living as a student in Munich is expensive as ... and many poorer students had to live in the hinterland of Munich with a bus driving only 4x a day or not at all, and because it's easy to hail a cab and say "ok, f..k that delay, I'm getting out, here's 50€ to get me to university" if you have the money.

> There's presently no standard objective laboratory test

I don't know what's so special about a "laboratory". Is there a name yet for this fallacy "because a machine told me, it must be true." ? Should we name it the "calculator fallacy" or the "internet fallacy" ?

from your link: "That is why NIMH will be re-orienting its research away from DSM categories." Its research, it doesn't do any good to toss DSM for treatment of mental disorders. I believe thats why they revise the DSM every year (?), is to keep up with changes in diagnosis. If a new classification system comes along, then replace "DSM" with whatever they call theirs.
>Stephens, who isn’t expected to take a role in the administration, will help shape defense and vet Defense Department staff.

I don't quite understand why so many folks are being chosen with no experience to guide the transition of the country to a new administration. It is terrifying when someone is picked to advise the President Elect in matters of National Security and Defense of the country and have no experience or have connections to the same people who would like to see nothing more than the demise of America.

Why is Peter Thiel responsible to find people to help shape Defense and vet Defense Department staff? What kind of background does he have that allows him to participate in this kind process? Does he have experience in defending countries from hostile forces? What am I missing?
Not that they are entirely equivalent, but try and apply that argument to, say, heroin addiction. Or depression.

agree. but then you need to declare your exoting encoding somehow, such as in perl via use encoding 'greek'; and then the parser does not need to guess about mixed scripts encodings on every identifier.
there's only latin and greek valid, everything else invalid.

how many languages even check for mixed script confusables?
for dynamic languages this check is much too expensive, but they are leading the "good cause", allowing everything, and checking nothing.

The author lost my interest after stating 6% unemployment is good without even mentioning the Labor Participation Rate. It would be if the Labor Participation Rate [1] hadn't fallen as much as it has. The US economy has lost 3.2M jobs since Jan 2006 thru Oct 2016.

tl;dr The unemployment rate is falling because people are losing their benefits and falling out of the labor force, and no longer being counted as unemployed.
