It doesn't, it sounds like something that a Markov chain would say. It sounds vaguely critical of Clinton, but doesn't quite parse as English and is devoid of actual information or analysis. I fear that Markov chains aren't just a way to replicate things that people might say, but might actually model human cognitive processes in some way. :(
I think most people don't mind occasional short term renters, but if it is run as a business, without the downsides of such a business (taxes, hotel regulations, zoning, clear responsibility for dealing with complaints...) it has a negative impact on the surrounding community. In some areas, a noticeable percentage of space is taken by AirBnBs, which a) means a lot of people staying in those areas (not necessarily bad, but generally something cities want to regulate) and b) flats are not available to local people.

If my neighbor rents out his spare room or his entire flat while he is gone, I hopefully can talk to him if I have issues with his guests, and he has an interest that his flat with his personal stuff stays nice and safe. A larger operation with 5 or more flats is going to care a lot less about such concern and who exactly is staying there. (This likely also influences guest behavior)

AirBnB helping to manage this would be nice, but it has shown no willingness to work with cities and neighbors to work towards enforcement of existing legislation, so it's not surprising that tolerance for violations goes down, courts get involved and further, targeted legislation gets created.

If you want to look at data, the best set of actual numbers I've seen is this dataset about Berlin: http://airbnbvsberlin.com/

Censorship tools are not going to convince Chinese government to allow NSA influenced social media platform to compete with state controlled social media platforms. This will eventually be used domestically.

Facebook and Google dropped the ball with the Chinese market. They should have caved to censorship years ago while they had the chance. Google especially with their recent forays into hardware. Look at [current year], half the country already believes censorship is occurring on the platform anyway, while users from outside of USA understands they're being spied on by American agencies anyway.
I totally agree with that, that's why I explicitly said "which is not what this service is intended for". My point was to inform people who might be looking for the same information as me, not at all to criticize this service.
Open source sometimes is a wandering caravan, following a rain cloud of shiny new ideas through a dessert. If the crowd would stay, and the cloud would move on- then the legacy-supporters and the innovators part way, and the community is gone.
Cool idea, I love it. Solves all of the probs you mentioned. I'm going to try it out and see how it works for me. Thanks.
You seem knowledgeable. Why can external currency changes (USD to bolivar) cause such strong inflation internally? I would think that at some point no one in the country can buy an iPhone, but how does that turn into no one being able to buy milk (or other essentials)? Do countries really rely so strongly on the international market for essentials?

edit: I could see a terrible scenario playing out where domestic goods are now so damned cheap for anyone not in the country that the producers are incentivised to ship their stuff overseas to rich foreigners. It could be the domenstic buyers that are the only people who get screwed. This is all terribly complicated.
Using paper ballots you can at least re-count the votes and validate the results of the election. With the electronic system like this you can not validate the results. Does it use an open source firmware? How can you make sure that there is no

Some people are and have been for a while now. Diversify your news sources to include Aljazeera for example. They cover these sort of events very well.

On a related note, I find it very sad that Suu Kyi has failed to condemn the repression of the Rohingya. Makes you wonder what quality of leader she really is.

I thought the question would be:

"How to start using Vim?"

And you will get 100 different answers which are all probably extremely correct but. There's one big but.

There is no real substitute for time spent in Vim.

It WILL be very awkward but it IS indeed worth it. The time fumbling around with hjkl will pay off in the long run. Trust us on that one.
This is hopefully a wake up call, and the editor can take a step back and remember that while he's passionate about it, wikipedia is a website. sometimes taking a huge step back is what you need to do.
i've had friends say the same thing about Facebook. The environment became so overwhelmingly toxic and negative that it was affecting them personally.
Even I've had that happen. Took a lot of un-liking pages and unfollowing constantly angry people and bailing out of Facebook groups that were constantly argument ponds.

I'm glad the editor is doing better now.
Yes please! Any ETAs on webassembly landing?
Computers losing to Machines in Go is not yet that surprising. The article doesn't really give any reasons to why we should have expected something else. Perhaps the main news worthy part was that the machine actually won a game. But then we don't really know how strong its opponent is today.
And for me it speaks to credibility.
I haven't used your service yet, but if I understand the limitation correctly (only github logins/only one server per login) I think it should also be possible to automatically derive a subdomain name from the github username and have that point to the server. Not sure if that's a good idea, just throwing an idea over the wall :-)
I downvoted you because fascism and interventionism are not remotely related. You're just throwing incendiary phrases out without thinking about them.

Maybe this will happen eventually, but you don't just call up your buddy on the weekend and decide to throw up a new building. Even if it's as small as three or four condos, you're talking about a large amount of money and a long process of design and review before you're allowed to break ground.

Plus, if this is your intention, then no matter how you spin "It's cool, these are _totally_ condos, just for short term rental!" you actually are building a hotel, and zoning plus public opinion might get in your way.
They are quite different beasts. HSMs offer tamper protection through various physical means like wrapping all components in resin, or implementing self-destruction mechanisms. Smart cards protect their secrets against all kinds of side channel attacks trying to read keys off a thermal signature for example.

TPMs in most cases are based on smart cards but can also be implemented in a TEE (Trusted Execution Environment). Security does not always mandate tamperproof hardware.
I can handle that.

First off, it gets a lot of (undeserved) hate from the Java-type people who think they know what OO is, but don't (because Java isn't OO, or so says Kay, and even if it is, there's a whole lot of rubbish mixed in. For that matter, I don't think JS qualifies either, by Kay's definition, but it's closer). These are the people who say things like, "How can it be OO if it doesn't have classes?" and, "where are my Refactoring tools?" or "Design Patterns!" and implement a bunch of java-esque "classes," and proceed to write IteratorStrategyFactoryManagerService (speaking of which, if you have any actual "classes" in JS with the word "Strategy" in the name, indicating they implement the GoF Strategy pattern, you should stop now. And feel bad about yourself. But that's another story).

With ES6, we have "classes," so these people can stop complaining, but it's still bad, because they're actually syntactic surgar over prototypes, so you still need to understand prototypes (to say nothing of how "this" works, a genunine mess in JS, but a necessary one), but it's no longer obvious that that's what's happening, so you might think that you don't.

The more significant complaints are about Javascript's famous weak typing (quick, what's []+""? What about ""+[]? And {}+[]?), ASI (which is why if you're returning an object/array, you can't put the openbrace or openbracket on the next line, and why semicolons only sometimes matter), and general quirkiness (the aforementioned this, and so on).

These are actually legitimate reasons to dislike JS, but in my experience, they're not as severe issues as they're made out to be. If you really can't take it, though, TS or Flow can help you.
>Whoever is buying dollars (or dollar-denominated goods) at the "official" exchange rate is making a killing. And will do so for about 6-9 months, before the entire thing collapses.

It's been like that ever since the currency controls were implemented in 2003, it is fairly well known that most if not all of the high ranked government officials (who have unlimited access to preferencial exchange rates) are behind the currency "black" market. The same government officials have their fair share of cash stashed away in tax havens.

This is beyond hope, corruption is not only endemic anymore but a neccessity for survival, unfortunately this will only end with blood, I believe international interference is a must in this case.
There was speculation that a substantial amount of the national debt is actually held by regime insiders, who benefit enormously from the high interest rates. A default would stop that racket.

I can't remember where I read that, so take it for idle speculation.
> which means that any change anywhere in the code of Firefox breaks some extension accidentally

So to fix this they're going to break every extension.

I think it's a fair assumption given how long the current extension API has been around that there will be more extensions that will die to disinterest or inability to move to WebExtensions than have been broken by all firefox releases from 4.0 to date.
you can just run the dotnet new command.
The thing that gets me is...how exactly is a starving nation snowed under by domestic issues "a threat to US national security?"
Paper ballots at least leave a paper-trail.
Another pro tip - absolute error magnitude is the convex hull of non-zero entry count for vectors (l_0 norm in some circles). So in the convex minimization context (and for most other smooth loss terms in general) you end up with solutions with more zero entries and few possibly large non-zero entries.

Wikipedia is one of those systems, like Twitter, that almost seems like it was intentionally designed to incentivize toxic behavior. It rewards clique building and gives victory in any fight to whoever is the most stubborn and has influential friends, regardless of the truth. We are going to regret subcontracting so much of the job of compiling and sharing human knowledge to it, guaranteed.
The best explanation is probably that squared error gives you the best fit when you assume your errors should normally distributed.

Things like the fact that squared error is differentiable are actually irrelevant - if the best model is not differentiable, you should still use it.
Seems like the problem with Buddhism isn't with Buddha but with what people use his Buddhism for. It's no coincidence that western adoptees i.e. sometimes scale their disconnectedness not only towards "noise" but also towards any doubt about how their behavior is perceived by others. Don't even get me started on many nazi's keenness towards Buddhism.
If bringing someone else in increases the chance of their success by more than the cost of paying that person then it's a net gain. It's why businesses employ people, investments get made, and deals happen.

Yes but that is not the point. You can also add votes to electronic voting by just allowing someone to cast more votes at it. But the difference is that with paper voting, you as a single actor can only influence one voting booth, while as a hacker, you can manipulated thousands of voting machines. So the influence of a single actor could be much bigger. Furthermore, while you can manipulate a paper ballot, you can only do so so long as an investigator is not looking. If he keeps the booth in view the whole time, you cannot add anything or change votes or whatever. A computer can not be surveyed that way because I do not see what happens inside as long as its not open source code and hardware which is signed etc.

A codified single-party rule... Which is more like Leninism than communism specifically.

Also, the brilliance of China's ruling party calling itself "communist" is that it can effectively thwart any leftist uprising seeking better representation for workers by pretending that they're already in power. For example, unions are outlawed in China because the Party takes care of the working class.

Mr Putin knows a certain way of performing politics and excels in this environment. It involves oligarchy, control of the media, nationalism and intrigue over political opponents.

Mr Trump offers that environment on a platter. Mrs Clinton maintains a different style of politics, involving red tape, careful processes, observance of laws. Mr Putin does not work that way.

I bet quite a big number of those federal CIOs got their "education" from:

> This causes one big error to be more significant than many small errors,

That's correct.

> which is usually what you want

Unless you have outliers, in which case it's what you don't want. So you add e.g. a Huber loss function to reach a compromise.
>I myself hate the cliche "Ideas are worth nothing it's all about execution"

I strongly agree, simply because I have worked at failed startups that executed well on bad ideas.

And yes, in reality you can't cleanly separate idea from execution. How much of Apple's success was transforming the idea "affordable personal computer" to "reimagine technology to become ubiquitous and indispensible to everyone on the planet"?

It's not just iPhones that get imported. Raw materials for plenty of goods need to be imported in modern economies. In Venezuela's case, an example might be cotton for making clothing. Or rubber for maintaining cars and other vehicles, (think brakes and tires). There are thousands of such examples.
Yes, that is the key issue: companies won't use such a module unless it is verifiable and does what it claims to do. I guess the first step would be to propose an open standard and a sample implementation of such a module. I don't think we're there yet though.

I'm hoping to focus my PhD on trying to come up with a solution to address the issue above. In other words, how can you design chips that can be verified (at all levels) without exposing your IP to a third-party? Furthermore, can this be done at runtime; e.g., could there be a syscall that queries the state of the hardware your software is running on? Cisco is one company that is particularly interested in solutions to both of these problems and is funding multiple research groups to explore these issues.
Can't believe there are populist parties in Spain defending this model and trying to import it.
No, OS X has Git, that's the equivalent. I actually don't know Free BSD well enough to say for BSD, but for Linux for example I'd say it's Sourcetree or SmartGit.

Your getting hung up on the Tower example, Tower is far from the only example of OS X applications having a smoother UI than nix. I always felt it comes down to a culture issue, nix users don't mind the lack of polished GUIs if there's a command line tool (which you're so continently demonstrating)

It's hard to compare, as even Deep Zen runs on much more...modest...hardware than the match version of AlphaGo did. It's conceivable that AlphaGo would get clobbered on Zen's hardware, or that Zen would clobber AlphaGo if that team had Google-eseque resources available. But there's no reason to believe we'd ever see such a fair comparison. It makes no sense for either team!

Zen is commercial software sold to people with a normal PC, so obviously reaching AlphaGo performance on AlphaGo hardware does their customers no good either.

It's for sure stronger than Darkforest. Some free PC programs like Leela have reached Darkforest levels on normal PC hardware (Darkforest used 44 NVIDIA Tesla cards, Leela uses a single normal "gaming" GPU), and Zen is several stones stronger than Leela.
SMTP ports are blocked and we recommend using a transactional mail service if your server needs to send mail.

We're implementing a number of things to profile abusers and prevent abuse on the platform and will be strictly enforcing policies against abuse. The lack of an API and prohibition on automating the creation of servers combined with required Github profile for ssh keys help to make the service unattractive for most abuse cases. Our goal is to use these methods to prevent abuse while keeping a very low barrier to entry for legitimate users.

My team has been running .NET core for the last few months and it's been great.

Most of us develop on Windows, however I have chosen to use Project Rider as my daily IDE because I run macOS. The latest public build is actually pretty stable compared to the earlier builds.

We're building backend services in ASP.NET Core which is very easy to get started with and quite well thought out. Autofac works too. You'll find most (imho) popular libraries are either fully supported or have a beta NuGet that supports .NET Core now.

Honestly the thread below about Linux being the future is true for server-side .NET. I'm able to develop on macOS, dockerize my service, build on Jenkins with Linux agents and then deploy to Linux docker hosts. I'm not sure where Windows will fit in this space? And why would I need it?

Trying to get the most out of stale bread was a probably big deal until the early 20th century. I mean: toast, french toast, soup (really a dipping sauce for stale bread), bread puddings, crumbled and fried (as in migas), crumbled and mixed into eggs and then fried (as in some spanish tortilla recipes), crumbled into a variety of recipes. And all of these are quite edible, or at least they used to be back when people didn't have Wonder Bread.
