That's a bit like claiming that Catholics in South America are on the hook for Evangelical-committed hate-crimes in North America. Turks, Kurds, Persians, Berbers, and Arabs are all actually distinct ethnic and national groups.

As to extremism, the real problem is the use of Saudi oil money to pay for extremist imams. Many Muslim refugees have shown up in Europe and reported to the authorities that they find their new "local" imam frighteningly extremist, because that "local" imam was Saudi-funded while their original upbringing in Syria or Iraq wasn't Wahhabi.

Yes, the last page of that presentation says:

There is no longer any notion of a Whitelist for this feature
The original proposal called for seeding the feature with a list of sites who had Flash usage above 1% (i.e. a “Top 10” list), to limit over-prompting. Instead we have updated our design to use Site Engagement to better tailor our enablement, of the feature, based on the browsing habits of the end user (i.e. it’s a reflection of the sites that they visit).

Hey, thanks!

The numbers are real, although the timing might not be. There's an endpoint diffing our data by the minute and distributing the changes over that minute to give it the real-ish impression. A green explosion means somebody took a bike from an station, and a red one means somebody left one.

From experience working with these endpoints, data is reliable at around a window of 5 minutes.
The more I get into machine learning and deep learning it seems like there is an incredible amount of configuration to get some decent results. Cleaning and storing the data takes a long time. And then you need to figure out exactly what you want to predict. If you predict some feature with any sort of error in your process the entire results will be flawed.

There are a few very nice applications of the AI techniques, however most data sets don't fit well with machine learning. What you see is that in tutorials use the Iris data set so much because it breaks into categories very easily. In the real world, most things are in a maybe state rather than yes/no.

> Solipsism is meaningless

Not in all contexts. A healthy dose of solipsism is a good thing - in the sense of it giving us some means of defense against what one could call "reality hypnosis", which is giving too much significance to the status quo, i.e. to what is happening (at present). Reality, too, can be "meaningless", and once that has been realized, it often turns out that changing it is not that difficult.

It's entirely appropriate. Every country cannot be under attack by oncoming waves of Muslim immigrants and by a corrupt liberal elite at the same time. The OP, now flagged and removed, was openly cheering for the rise of far-right governments in Europe, and was spouting far-right rhetoric.

Quoting a poem about the last time far-right governments took over Europe is very appropriate. Fascism must be opposed root and branch: any seemingly "relevant" points made in the name of fascism are in bad-faith, and are only being made to justify the advancement of fascism.

"Liberalism and Islam": http://edwardfeser.blogspot.com/2016/01/liberalism-and-islam...
My two favorite female authors are Jane Austen and Dorothy Sayers, neither of whom are on this list. Austen's books definitely feel like they are written by a woman. She was a stickler for authenticity, so she never depicted a scene without women present because she did not know how men behaved without a woman present. They are about the complexity of human relationships in the aristocratic English culture in which she lived, but they speak to all of us because we are all human just like her characters were.

Dorothy Sayers wrote a lot of mysteries. Her books do not feel as feminine to me as Austen's books, but like Austen, she does get into the depths of the human heart. She does this in the context of a murder rather than a love story, so her books may be more appealing to male authors. Like Austen, Sayers is also British, but she is early to mid 20th century.
Whether that's correct or not it's beside the point of what I'm saying. What I mean to say is that the premise that an employee and and an employer are two equals entering into an agreement on equal footing is divorced from reality. That's the reason a minimum wage law and so on is needed in the first place.

Use or say they use? vi and emacs are alot like some programming books people say they have read to show they are a programmer because they think that it what it means. My guess, < 10% with all the IDEs and text editors out there today. On servers or VMs they are common, in actually coding, probably overstated.
It can't.

Bitcoin remains volatile as hell. The market is seriously thin, with single large trades sending it up or down $30. The "price" isn't one, which is why the whales can't realise the supposed valud of their holding except in a dribble.

Garbage in, garbage out.

I have always been a stickler for making sure the data going in is good. Takes a bit longer, but makes life much much easier in the long run.
copying and moving data is the bottleneck. but considering the magnitude of traffic and the type of infrastructure they're using to pass this data.. it's extremely negligible.

this is big data and the type of analysis of such high-dim information is the real issue. (took me and my team 21-hours to clean/train on wikipedia data) - that is, each iteration was 21 hours long. it took us weeks to deliver results, using 3.7ghz/8gb i5 machines.

performance gain is achieved by carefully designing the data stack so that it's split-able, and making sure your routines implement sane message passing with little wastage.

the rest of it is having football-sized computer clusters crunch the hell of it so it saves you a fuck-ton of time eventually.

I don't know of any "how to" type material, but the scientific topic here is operant conditioning. The basic idea is that you reward behaviors that are desired and/or punish behaviors that aren't desired. There's an interesting dichotomy, though: the fastest way to learn a behavior is to have a reinforcement (a reward or foregoing something unpleasant) that is consistently provided with/after the behavior and not at other times. However, the most effective way to maintain a behavior is for the reward to be provided at a random ratio to the behavior (but still only in conjunction with the desired behavior) [1].

A lot of people want to believe that humans are somehow "above" operant conditioning, but there's a lot of evidence that we aren't.

On Reddit there are several groups that try to do this. It's called the X-Effect. It works by creating a habit by doing a small task daily. One of the most important things is to start small.

You have to start so small that is seems stupid, but as it's all about positive reinforcement, you better start small (five minute tasks like clean your desk) and succeed, than a little bigger and fail. You may think that you could do 30 minutes and do more, but the goal here is to do this each and every day. If you do more one day, that's great. But this is the minimum. You have to set yourself to do this every day for five minutes.

You repeat this for 50 days, and the idea is that by then you have created a habit. Then you can start a new goal.

It sounds stupid, but it's not. It's really easy to let this go for one day, and think tomorrow I'll do 15 minutes to compensate. Or maybe you had a good day yesterday, and you worked 30 minutes on your goal. This is not a good idea. It's a trigger to let go, and stop the routine. Soon you're doing this 5 minute task only every other day, and then suddenly you stop alltogether.

And of course I take a stupid example here. You may choose another task that takes more time, and maybe you don't set a time limit, but something like walk the dog three times a day, or read one chapter of a book each day.

Looks like someone selling snake oil to the pharmaceutics. Is the method backed by a double blind study? [1]

From the article:

> Winkler’s research told him that between 5 and 40 percent of psoriasis patients feel their symptoms are alleviated when taking placebo pills.

Between 5 and 40 is a lot of variation!

The placebo effect has many causes, you don't know witch percent of the general population will react to the no-treatment, you don't know how the subgroup you selected will react to the no-treatment, you don't know if just going to the doctor once a week as part of the study will change how the people fell, how they sleep, eat, whatever. There are too many variables, and in a serious study it's impossible to eliminate all of them. The best second option is a double blind control group, so you hope that whatever affect the subject affect in approximately the same weight to the control group.

[1] Make 100 double blind studies. In half of them use the screening method to avoid placebo susceptible people and in the other half use the usual mix of people. But make these selection double blind, so the doctors don't know if they are running the normal or the filtered study. Then analyze the 100 studies an see if the 50 filtered studies have more success than the 50 unfiltered.

P.S. What about if the drug is better to the people that has no the genes they are blaming for the placebo effect, but it will kill half of the people with these genes?
I hate to +1 these things but I have had similar experiences with 0 control over the ads that were showing up on a platform. It was a single page app and performance was a huge deal. Often ads didn't even load because of the quality.

Maybe it shouldn't be DFP forcing things as I said, but I think if the controls even existed for publishers it might mean that they tune things to be pleasant for their users such that they get more impressions.

Quite a lot. If you are doing anything on remote servers it's likely to be the only text editor. But I guarantee you that 99.999% of them only know (and need to know) the basics e.g. saving file, search, find/replace etc.

I would say maybe 1% of developers actually use them as an IDE given how poor they are compared to something like IntelliJ or Visual Studio.
I'm a big fan of Flask, but if OP has never used a web framework before, personally I'd recommend starting with Django, because there are more resources out there. Flask is great if you know what you're doing and have the experience to architect a larger project, but Django is (more) batteries included and more opinionated about how things should fit together. As a beginner, it makes a lot of the tough decisions for you, and starting out that's a good thing. In Flask, it's easier to get to "Hello World." In Django, it's easier to get to "Working Web Application."

A little off topic but I think the VR boom will bust much more sooner than AI.

I can't think of normal people wearing those heavy gears in their normal life. There will be its use cases in specialized applications like education, industry, games but I don't think it will get popular like an iPhone.

AR is still OK since it augments real life but there is a long way before it will become mainstream.

Another key thing I didn't mention was that at higher magnetic fields they no longer need to worry about plasma instabilities.

I believe quite a lot of work had gone into how to managing instabilities. From the video the more powerful superconductors are supposed to reduced those issues.

Although a Phyics graduate I'm not an expert in nuclear fusion.

They also mentioned that the "magnetic pressure" is the equivalent of 5000 atmospheres, I think I have an idea what they mean.

Taking questions someone asks about modes of failure; however catastrophic structural failure wasn't one of them.

Not a huge deal since there's scant amount of fusion fuel.
> Everybody makes sure their website or product works with a screen reader and out the door it goes

I don't think even a majority do anything to test or ensure their website or software works with a screen reader or other assistive technologies.

I think it can be useful to think of accessibility as an aspect of usability. To that end, user testing, which involves people who aren't necessarily technically knowledgable or "geeks," should include people with disabilities, particularly those who use assistive technologies (AT).

I mainly think about web accessibility which doesn't pose some of the challenges that hardware products have. With web sites, someone can pay you for an hour of two of your time to get on Skype (or whatever), share your screen, they give you a URL to visit, and ask you to perform some tasks. They watch to see what fails and listen to you talk about your thought processes regarding how you go about performing a task or when you think you've run into an obstacle that may or may not be AT-related. This kind of remote user testing has many advantages unrelated to accessibility but especially for testing with AT it means not having the expense, expertise, and logistics of having a facility that's easy to get to and equipped with many different kinds of AT.

Piggyback on your dopaminergic system. Start by rewarding yourself with something you already enjoy every time you display the habit you want to acquire, and in the fullness of time your brain will react to the new activity without the need for the separate reward.

This is more or less how smoking functions, modulo some neurochemical details - the idea is to effectively addict yourself to the new behaviour.
