In Michigan, just North of Flint, we've got the small Bavarian village of Frankenmuth which is a huge tourist draw with lots of handmade German crafts.

http://www.frankenmuth.org/

Just outside town is Bronner's https://www.bronners.com/ which is a superstore dedicated just to Christmas and open every day of the year except Christmas. It's a unique only Michigan attraction, never seen anything like it in my travels across America. I would imagine nowadays most of their merchandise comes from Yiwu.
Reddit thread: Dear Oracle
Queues have both a front and end.
Extolling the merits of a clear pejorative strikes me as disingenuous to say the least.

I honestly can't figure whether this blog simply echoes the sentiments of a bachelor longing for days free from adult responsibility, or tries to be some hip justification for squalor conditions contrived by the outrageous cost of living in a high-density city.

If your reasons for choosing to live in a shithole are: 1. cost; 2. cost; and 3. laziness thinly paraded as character...more 1st-world power to you. I prefer to live frugal, which actually requires a bit of work to pull off.
Hi, quoting another comment of mine with an explanation:

Having a system where you revoke the degree for lack of payment would just create a system where revoked degrees would be equally valuable, since everyone would know they were the same, except for some bank being ripped off.
I'm sorry but this idea that there's mysterious knowledge of hardship which white, male members of the middle class automatically don't possess is garbage and is exactly the sort of thing I was hinting at in the last sentence of my comment. You can be as polite about it as you want but it immediately shuts down dialogue and informs the original speaker that he is the replier's intellectual inferior and his opinion isn't valued. In short it's a form of ad hominem. No matter how well-meaning it distracts from the discussion of the actual issue and drags us into identity politics.

In this specific case I think it also demeans publishers who are not white and male. Plenty of non-white, non-male people have been publishing controversial material since long before Twitter existed. Just like the white and male ones, they learned to take the heat or get out of the kitchen. Things like the civil rights movement were accomplished within this context. The issue at hand is not a race or gender issue. All races and genders are being attacked on Twitter. The issue is that some Twitter users don't realize how hot the kitchen can get before they walk into it.
I'll see if I can find some research later that supports this.

But at the last places I used to work for that did B2C with apps, I know that during the times we ran TV or newspaper ads, the app installs increased exponentially while Google and Bing searches stayed almost the same.
Far smaller scale but this one still makes me giggle:

Worked at large enterprise, at small project team working on the successor for a dated customer support system running in production. Apart from that vision, we had little idea about the domain and about what we were doing. Another team, located in France, was running the existing system, and they were required to cooperate with us. In reality think that they were quite unimpressed with our efforts.

Anyway, we wanted to import their data into our system -- partly for indexing, partly because we saw this as the future -- and we managed to obtain credentials to use their SOAP API. There was a lot of data, and it was paginated by the API, for obvious reasons. Hence, we wrote a script which, when our system was spun up, would import the data from the legacy system by querying all pages of it in rapid succession.

During development we imported from a test system of theirs which contained only a small amount of data but for alpha testing we wired it to their production system. After about 15 minutes we got a phone call from France demanding to know why on earth we were forcing the company customer support system to its knees in a DOS attack. By that time I think there was no doubt in their minds that they were dealing with clowns.
I feel less overly loyal to the company, having found a more healthy balance. I still think I put more in than some though that is through a mix of professional and personal pride more than loyalty (though I suppose loyalty is part of that). That may change with time as the new regime does seem determined to do some things right that the previous did no more than pay lip service to.

To the people: I'm more selectively loyal than I once was. There are even still some that I actively socialise with (though there is still a social media disconnect). Though even with the social media disconnect, nothing I post isn't public or something that I'd be fine with becoming public (if it were private I'd communicate it by other means) so if they or the company want to monitor me that way they can do.

Right now the only thing I can see holding AMD back is their lack of vision to drop a bit of cash on a CuDNN equivalent (and the ML framework support for it), especially fast convolution kernels optimised for their hardware. They are waiting for the open source community to do the work for them, but no one is picking it up because it's a lot of work.

A couple of good AMD engineers should be able to knock out fast Winograd kernels pretty quick.

People often regard C code as inherently ugly because of nasty coding styles that were prevalent in the 80s and 90s – all local variables declared at the top of functions, lots of global variables, "space saving" indentation and often no whitespace between operators, bad separation of concerns. C can actually be a decent "high-level" language if you conform to a more modern style of programming. Codebases like Git and Nginx demonstrate that this is possible.
Just reading a book is a not an effective way to learn, and the value of university is not that they make you read a bunch of books. The real value comes from interaction around that material with researchers and fellow students and being 'forced' to engage with that material to solve problems and doing your own research, as well as the feedback you get on that work.

Now I'll certainly agree that the cost of a University education in the US is much too high, and there are probably more efficient ways to get the same educational benefits, but to say that you can replace Universities with books is simply disingenuous.

Unions can be great, but firing non-performers is one of a managers most important jobs.

And its not for the company even, as much as the other employees who don't want to be burdened with someone lazy or who refuses to train. It's usually the others who have to cover for them and pick up the pieces.

When unions stop management from addressing performance it directly impacts the employees themselves, and yet unions too often try to 'stand strong together'.

If unions took a greater role here I think their membership support would increase drastically, they could play their role as employee advocate while maintaining the moral high ground.

Medallion fund: a remarkably successful quant trading firm built by scientists
Sure, through the lens of "smart investing", an arts degree is a shitty investment, and therefore shouldn't be funded. I just think that's a bit reductive, and that the value provided by those programs can be hard to quantify.

I agree that many students probably gain nothing at all from studying arts, but many do, and become better people, professionals, politicians, etc.

Studying these fields (or communicating with people who have (even watching documentaries)) helps to understand and contextualise the world, and to articulate those (often complex and abstract) ideas.

Of course, many people come away with nothing, and many with only the most superficial understanding, but an educational climate with less participation in the arts, humanities, theoretical sciences, etc would suffer a net reduction in cultural capital, political discourse, etc.

£9,000/year (11 000 USD) is just above the government-subsidized in-state tuition in most places in the US. If you want to go to a school not in the same state as you (so you lose the government subsidy), you will be paying somewhere between twice and 3x as much. Private universities have a higher advertised price, but are more likely to offer tuition grants based on financial need (at the extreme end, if you are from a destitute family but manage to be admitted to Harvard, you will pay little, if any, tuition).

A few years ago I went back to the house where I spent the first few years of my life; I had not been there since the age of four.

At one point I entered a room and I heard myself say out loud "my sister was born here..."

To be clear, my parents had no photos of that room or anything growing up. There were pictures of my baby sister, sure, but they were all too zoomed in to make any sense of the surroundings. I took a photo with my phone and sent it to my parents, and they confirmed that that was the room where my sister was born.

I just knew somehow; there was no visual memory but as I walked through the door I instantly had this feeling of seeing my sister for the first time. It was really strange, but then again, it makes sense that a moment like that is pretty impressive.
It depresses me to say so, but that is insanely cheap for London.

The only problem with Nvidia, if you look at the entire system, is that they rely on Intel's CPUs for most of the computer systems that they are a part of.

Sure, Intel is part of every Nvidia system, but they're becoming a smaller and smaller part in dollar amounts. It's not uncommon that the GPUs in a CUDA setup costs 4-10 times as much as the CPUs. And at the end of the day it's much easier to replace Intel CPUs with AMD CPUs in a system, than it is to replace Nvida GPUs with AMD GPUs. Plus Nvidia feels a lot closer to come up with a CPU good enough to replace Intel in these systems than Intel is at coming up with something to replace Nvidia.

The isolation level you speak of is between networks, not between servers. This distinction might seem a little arbitrary since no centralized system of relevance is running on a single server either, but the key difference is still there: in the larger irc networks, the different nodes that form it are run by different organizations.

Splits are a possibility in any federated system and in systems with nonhierarchical, unique naming, any merge requires some amount of namespace violence proportional to the duration of the split.

Inflation-adjusted costs of educating a student are largely unchanged in the past 30 years; per-student government subsidies are incredibly low compared to 30 years ago, largely due to the increasing number of students enrolling in college.
If you'd choose a more social system where the students costs are paid directly from taxes, taxes are higher, yes but you omit banks. The only thing banks do is collect interest because the people have decided, or have been told, that they can't collectively invest in the education of the next generation. And so their kids pay interest, to banks who do nothing but print the money and write down "you have dept" in return.

> You're most probably (I say that in the statistical sense) a white middleclass guy (I am too BTW). For us it's easy to airquote "twitter abuse" and ask what the problem is. However, for a great number of non-white-middleclass-guy-people it's a huge and real problem that we should do our absolute best to help address.

This is the most ironically hilarious statement I've seen in a while. I don't know where this "white guy privilege" meme started, but I find it funny when "white guys" call themselves privileged. No you're just a human being and you just happen to live in a country where the majority is white people. If you go to an Indonesian cannibal tribe, you're just a food and no longer "privileged".

The reason I find that sentence ironic is you're talking about "do our best to help" but the sentence itself reeks of some sort of weird idea that you are above other non-white men and women. Statements like "You're most probably a white middleclass guy" is what hurts the people most, and you don't even realize that. I laugh out loud imagining if OP was a woman, she would be like "WTF is this guy". People don't "need help". The precise thinking that they need help is the first thing you need to abolish from your mindset if you really care.

This iniLabs page[1] has a description, it's pretty low-level stuff:

The AER protocol is a simple protocol using a variable number of lines (bus) to transmit data, and two lines (REQ and ACK) to synchronize the data between the sender and the receiver asynchronously using a four-phase handshake. (This is also called a bundled asynchronous protocol). The ACK and REQ lines are active-low.

From the last sentence, it's clear that "line" refers to a hardware signal. It's a chip-to-chip bus protocol, from what I understand.

I think we're talking past each other, and there may be some confusion about terminology. I will do my best to try to describe what's going on to the best of my abilities and see whether that answers your questions.

Bell's Theorem (also called Bell's Inequality) starts with assuming that the universe has locality and counterfactual definiteness and yields and inequality concerning correlations between certain measurements. Experiments later conclusively showed that these inequalities are violated in our universe. So, one of the assumptions of locality or counterfactual definiteness does not hold in the universe we live in. Historically, this result was used to discredit and eliminate a class of theories about quantum mechanics called hidden variable theories -- the idea that quantum mechanics is deterministic, and we just haven't delved deep enough to find out what's determining the behavior of particles.

In my opinion it's most useful to think of Bell's result as a proof by contradiction: there are a bunch of assumptions (implicit and explicit) that go into it, and we're left with a prediction that reality violates. Therefore one of the assumptions is wrong, but we don't know which one, and different interpretations of QM will have different answers to this question. In the context of Bell's Theorem, counterfactual definiteness has a specific definition, and that's from the local perspective of an observer observing from within physics, because Bell's Theorem itself implicitly assumes a single universe and goes from there.

Under the Many-Worlds Interpretation, the result of a measurement is that the observer is split, and different copies of the observer will experience all results. This is the global and deterministic view. The local view is that the observer will see one result or the other, and there is simply no fact of the matter as to why the observer sees this particular result instead of the other.

The Many-Worlds Interpretation has some advantages over other interpretations in that it's local, deterministic, and mathematically the simplest. But it rubs a lot of people's intuitions the wrong way because it posits an unbelievable multitude of copies of what we know of as the universe.

No. Elop tried to save the handset business, but it was too late. The demise happened during the time when Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo was CEO (2006-2010), though I think it actually started already before that, in 2004-2005.

This is a thing I see many people bickering about, but I think they are misguided. Elop tried what he could, and in fact the sale of handset business to Microsoft - which he negotiated - was a very good deal for Nokia, the company (and its shareholders). The price was good. Nokia, the company, is still very much alive and kicking.

The platform for handset business was indeed burning when Elop made the famous speech. His mistake was to signal so strongly to the public the ramp-down of Symbian, which accelerated its demise and loss of sales. But what was laying in the future was clear for anyone to see. The writing was on the wall.

I felt the things were going wrong in about 2005, when Nokia was the market leader, and complacency crept in. Managers and executives forgot about the outside world, and in their comfortable market-leader position the logistics side (always strong in Nokia) was allowed to run things. New phones had under-powered processors, for instance - just to save a few cents a piece, which is huge money when you make millions of devices, but in the end it meant that the user experience suffered and new UX innovations were dumped.

Too much trust in the "we're the gorilla now" position.

It looks a little bit like Apple is now in the same situation. Their cash flow seems unstoppable, but what new are have they recently brought in?

EDIT: FWIW, I was in the infra side (which is still there, although I was made redundant), not in the handset business. I had a lot of friends and former colleagues in the handset side. So I had some visibility and insight to what happened, but no personal axe to grind.
It's super creepy and the interest rates are outrageous; but you have to give it to them, public shaming as a collateral is good "outside the box" thinking.
In US it is already working as intended - it is called "crime of doing X while black" - no need for subtle facial characteristics, recognition is easy and fool-proof.
