If I'm not mistaken, one of the reasons for doing this is figuring out if there is an island of stability somewhere there - a heavy element that somehow remains stable for an extended periods of time.

> but costumers can't take their data back.

For a US company, yes. For EU companies, the EU privacy law says you can only use the data for the original purposes, and based on what the person consented to. You can't grab all data (since that's overbroad), and "consent" can't just be "click through on legalese".

If you're concerened about privacy, don't use US companies.
It really bothers me that VR is segmented between "full featured" and "mobile" as outlined in this report.

Roughly speaking, the extra features needed to bring a high end phone to Occulus/Vive level is 90fps (make it optional to save battery of course) and USB-C video in. The rest of the tracking sensors/LEDs and whatnot can be built into the headset.

Meanwhile you're expected to pay $700 for a phone and $700 for a headset, each of which has about an 70% overlap in the most expensive components.

On top of all that, it sucks that the headsets for full featured VR vary in comfort and design but are hard wired to the displays. Most reviews say Vive is the least comfortable of the batch but the most immersive.

Ideally the head mount would be a separate thing from the display/processor like in the mobile VR space. That would allow you to find the head mount most comfortable for you, and also to upgrade your VR internals while keeping the same head mount for several generations of technology.

So in my ideal world, VR would be a licensed or open standard system like Dolby whatever or THX are for audio. For example, if you bought a phone with the Whizbang VR logo on it, it would work with your Whizbang VR logo head tracking sensors, Whizbang VR logo head mount, Whizbang VR logo controllers, and be compatible with the Whizbang VR software API. But all that stuff could be made by different manufacturers.
Those are the things that the compiler can do to optimise your program by a few x. The sorts of optimisations that it can't do are things like picking a different algorithm, or reorganising the layout of a class so that it or multiples of it can fit within a cache line.
Is it odd that so few of them do ?

ASK: Where to Start Learning Deep Learning Being a Senior Developer Already?
What would you recommend if I wanted to start learning about Deep Learning to become proficient enough to be able to build a fraud detection system?

As it is right now, the NGO I work for has a manual screening process to find possible fraudulent profiles. I would like to be able to use a Deep Learning based system to help them with that task.
I had ups and downs, nothing spectacular but I had nice living. With time it got more difficult to win good money for me, and I stop loving it as much as on the beginning.

I want to go back to software development because I want regular pay with no variance :), and as I have a lot of ideas for side projects like this I'd love to work with advanced coders to learn more about web development, good practices, tips and tricks :).
> There are some learning hurdles to Angular 2 but imho. they are lower than what was there with Angular 1

I really don't understand how people can claim this.
I got my first basic application running in angular 1 in about two hours- no, I'm not talking about a tutorial but a small, real application. All you had to do to start was to include the minified angular framework in the page and write some plain javascript functions. That's it.

Now, I've been working with angular 2 for the past month or so (on a brand new application). I still have very little understanding of what the framework does or how it works. I found it pretty easy to understand the basic concepts and inner working of angular 1, but I still haven't managed to grasp what angular 2 actually does. Some things seem to work, some others just don't. The documentation is obscure and lacking. The requests for basic features or bug fixes have discussion trails that go from many months ago up to yesterday.

I just googled for the first example that comes to my mind- a pretty fundamental question: what's the execution order of directives in angular 2 and how to influence it? On the first page of results, only the first two are relevant (thanks Google!). Both are StackOverflow questions, and the answers are:

>As far as I know the order of execution is undefined. You shouldn't depend on a specific order.

>> That's just awful..

----

> I think priority concept is yet not there in Angular2. (If it is already i'm not aware of it yet) but One should not depend on a specific order as already said.

----

> Suppose you have ngIf and ngFor directives on one element

>> that's not supported. For more details see ngIf and ngFor on same element causing error. At least for this case there is no requirement to specify an execution order.

Thank god. It breaks so it doesn't even need the feature.
I would imagine that in the sense of "usable product" for costumers, things will level out somehow.

But waste would certainly be lessened within certain steps of production. For example, sometimes you have containers used for long distance transportation, which you can't remove all of a product from, and you have to wash in between refillings.
"Large org", that's key here. Even a James Bond villain would require strict compliance of most of his underlings, maybe even more than average, except when not.

What's the alternative to "letting" people stay at home? Jail?

Yes, feelings of uselessness are harmful to people. But the current approach of cutting off people's food, heat and accomodation in an effort to force them to find work somehow is worse. It's possible that "workfare" might be better - but in practice it ends up almost instantly corrupted into a system for giving free or below-minimum-wage labour to businesses while still not providing enough to live on, and usually failing to accomodate the needs of people with disabilities and mental health conditions.

(MH issues are a very strong predictor of unemployment, addiction and suicide, by the way)

And we've also not considered the question of single parents who can often find that employment has marginal or negative returns after childcare and commuting costs.

jcipar managed to get the max pause down to 22ms by tweaking parameters: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/5fyhjb/golangs...

He also mentioned that the JVM GC does a lot of online tuning, so the max pause times may drop over a longer run of the program. This is similar to the Racket GC, where the maximum pauses are >100ms at the start of the run, but converge to around 20ms as the program continues to run.

It would be nice to run the benchmarks for a longer period of time, and only measure max pause times once this "ramp up" period is over.

You can't. But looking more into laptop mentions I see that comments with links are usually recommendations. Submissions are a little different, they can be negative, positive, neutral. And usually are just questions 'I narrowed it down to 3 laptops: LINKS. What do you think about them?'. So I thought links in comments are positive opinions is fair enough guess.

The problem is that you need only one employee without moral concerns but with the necessary data-access and the data you are collecting can be used to abuse your customers. At my former employer I had access to cell-phone usage data and for example I could have tracked the calls and geolocation of my girlfriend. Only becasue database grants were assigned automatically to everyone who required them.

The only secure way of collecting data is not collecting data at all.
This is at the bottom of the thread right now so I'm going to assume people don't agree with this. However, you're completely right, by continuing to use Facebook you validate their platform and keep feeding them your data. The solution is to seek alternative platforms that respect your freedoms or to abstain from social networks. (<smug>personally I find them to only suffice for navel-gazing and status signaling</smug>) I understand that due to network effects it will be really difficult to make friends follow you elsewhere or to find others, but the alternative is continuing to let Facebook dictate what you see and feel. For many people, Facebook is "the real world": it's how they get all their news and find out what's going on with people. We shouldn't underestimate the power Facebook holds to affect people and the importance of considering not participating.

The commenter just described the probability of tossing a coin 21 times and all cointosses being heads, so (1/2)^21, or 1 in 2^21.

It's a specific case of the cumulative binomial distribution which is what you might look up if you want to know about the case where the probability of people liking X in general isn't 50% but something else, or the number of samples isn't 21, or the number of sampled people liking X isn't 0.

Very fair point, but what about the fraction of people who not only consider it an expense, but an affront to moral dignity? For example, Politico did a poll which showed that 46% of Americans believe that everyone should use the bathroom of their birth.

There is a huge building boom of 6 to 20 floor towers in Silicon Valley, where low slung single story buildings are getting replaced by modern office towers.

No, but usually in comments people link to products they recommend. It's a little bit different with submissions, as they can be posts like "I narrowed it down to these 3 laptops, what do you think about them ?" which is neutral or something like this. That's why I collect reddit comments only.
Whatever randomization isn't natural (and it can't be completely random as it needs to look natural). But it's not really the point.

A diamonds primary value is the history of it's making. People are unfortunately always going to be paying more for a diamond which has been digged out by hard labour than created in a lab.

Keep in mind the value of diamonds is mostly a perceptive one. I am pretty sure if you only did synthetic diamonds it would soon fail to be valuable as the "womans best friend"

Aging as a feature doesn't make sense to me. It seems more likely to me that immortality simply hasn't been 'cracked' yet, intelligence that could create immortality would seem more likely to evolve first than immortality itself.

You have to get so many things just right for immortality to 'work', i.e. to actually be useful in a survival context. It does no good for creatures to not age if they lose a significant amount of viability.

But real immortality in the complete reversal of aging, I think would be an immense advantage. Instead of having to teach your young over a very short period of time the tricks they need to be viable adults, creatures could super-specialize. One creature could supply all the food needed for a huge colony. They'd just get better and better at exploiting their niche and other creatures could find other niches.

I think if intelligence hadn't 'gotten there first', immortal creatures would be running the show.
I am asking myself, if this could mean, we can "kill" Uber in Germany for good. Our data protection laws state, that you are only allowed to track the necessary data to provide the service.

Tracking users after the use a service is imho not really encompassing the spirit of the law.

Surely Uber lawyers could state that this is necessary information for making the service better for the user - like always.

Non the less - one more reason not to ever use a service provided by this company.

Yes, sure. There is always some sort of "reason" to "justify" mass surveillance. F that.

It's just NOT acceptable. I'll never use Uber again.

It is weird. There are effectively three sides bundled into the Daily Mail, and one of them is a genuinely there-with-the-news global reporting organisation (OK, so it's built on AP/Newswire, but usually a bit more informative).

The other two are the highly flamebait opinion columnists (Littlejohn, Hopkins) and the "women's" coverage for non-feminist women: celebrities, clothes, "sidebar of shame" and so on. The latter is hugely profitable and popular for some reason. A unique combination of slut-shaming while at the same time telling you where you can buy the outfit.

Why not introduce a law that further decouples intelligence agencies and the government. It could be made mandatory that information released by agencies are released to all members of parliament. This way, the government gets more transparency, and the people also get more transparency indirectly.

Just my 2 pence.
