> implementing sockets into their apps.

are you talking about websockets for web apps? It's not always easy to implement and it requires some extra libraries and deployment setups. Is it really that easy to add for you as giving client extra candy in post order?
People who choose to do $THING_I_DONT_DO should not be forced to subsidize those who do. Why should I subsidize roads with 16 foot lanes when my motorcycle needs on a fraction of that? Why should I...oh, you get the point.

If one cares to argue whether something that arguably betters the collective (Amex's new policy would fit from my POV) should be subsidized collectively or individually, I'm open. If one would rather discuss the merits of attracting workers with benefits that some might not use, let's open that conversation. But if it's just going to amount to a simplistic, Ayn Randian "it's not fair!", then it's not really worth the time.
It's on the game play page. The lag is when interacting with the pano. It feels very choppy when panning.
Overall, good job on the game! I really enjoyed testing my geographic ability.
This is a very simplistic view of the markets and there is nothing ridiculously easy about turning information into piles of cash, its not like a light bulb goes off and your bank account instantly has $1M in it. Here are some examples where I might be able to develop an edge based on an algorithm but not be able to monetize it without help.

- The strategy may require trading access to markets or software that I do not have because I lack capital/connections/education required, like large capital requirements for heavily leveraged strategies or market-making strategies that require one of a limited number of seats.

- The strategy may require very active trading but I am not in a personal situation to be that active because of job/family/prison. Many options strategies are here.

- The strategy may be profitable on a small dollar amount but will require a trader with more experience to scale that up to a larger amount of capital. This happens a ton, dealing with scale is much more difficult that most people realize.

I'm not saying you should accept anything at face value, I'm just saying you should not dismiss them because they aren't already rich.
Overpopulation of planet Earth is not a serious risk. The consensus is that population will peak at roughly 11-12 billion sometime around 2100. [1]

The real danger that most have yet to come to grips with is population stagnation/decline and the multitude of economic problems that come along with it.

The stock market itself has gone up in the last year. Exactly what regulation prevents funds from releasing information about their track record? Any fund you buy is provided to show you their track record, as well as "SEC Yield" a normalized measure of recent returns.

Sound to me like they are trying to avoid being compared to other metrics, because they don't fare as well.
Ok maybe the author tested other things but he didn't REPORT on anything but fsync results. There's no comparison at all of file system performance other than fsync() numbers.

> One of the other things clearly mentioned is that b/c of Google's use of an additional FUSE filesystem they take a 30% performance hit

Only on one mount point which isn't used for anything lag-related. There's no code on that mount point. There's nothing UI-critical on that mount point. It means your photos might load a bit quicker, but again given that there was no actual numbers or objective information we don't actually know how the two compared. Good job to Motorola to handle that in the kernel, but it contributes nothing to the spectacular claim that the Pixel has 10x more lag than the Moto Z.

But given this claim: "They got Moto-Z to performing close to high-end laptop SSDs." I think it's pretty obvious the author only actually looked at fsync(). Unless somehow the Moto-Z is ~5x faster than the storage in an iPhone 7 (which is the gap between an iPhone 7's storage and a high-end laptop SSD), it's obvious bullshit.
If you think in longer time frames everyone was a child once and there is immense value to society for children to spend time with their parents. Maybe companies should not be the mechanism to pay for it but we as a society should find ways to help people have strong and healthy families. It makes moral and economic sense.
This screams 'Ponzi scheme'. If you are thinking of putting money into this, don't walk away - run away.

Above-the-board trading institutions don't have problems with nebulous 'government regulations', when talking about how profitable their funds are.

So is this like the Amazon "feature" where I buy a coffee table on Amazon, then I get suggested to buy a coffee table EVERY DAY for 3 months. Literally row after row of coffee table? Because there must be a big pool of people who buy 1 coffee table buying more coffee tables immediately after?

I went down this rabbit hole this morning myself. There's a nice document at Bitsavers (http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/bbn/imp/BBN1822_Jan1976.pdf) that has details about the two different IMP models, and the TIP and Pluribus IMP (an interesting multiprocessor IMP that I'd never heard about prior to today).

The TIP was the "Terminal IMP" (per the linked document) that provided connections to 64 terminals directly to the network through the IMP (with no intervening host).
Every now and then I wonder if I should have stayed in the USA rather than coming back to Canada. I could have made a lot more money. Then someone like you says something like that, and I breath a big sigh of relief.

Thanks, I was due for one of those.
This is missing a ton of important details.

Much of so-called junk DNA is in non-coding regions that are not within introns. For example, there are long regions containing just repetitive viral DNA sequences with no coding DNA anywhere; this is often what people mean when they say junk DNA. But those regions aren't intronic, because they are not spliced out of the preprocessed mRNAs.
I really don't mean to be rude, but wow did you miss the point I was trying to make. I was making no comparisons, other than when a Canadian hears the word "socialism" they don't go into a mouthing-foaming knee-jerk fit.
I agree with richiea that it is people who enjoy what they do and even though it has provided them the means to choose not to do it any more, they continue because they like it.

I'm the kind of person who writes code for fun. I like solving puzzles and coding is the ultimate puzzle solving game, not only do you get to solve the puzzle you get to make up the pieces you are going to use to solve the puzzle and so can solve it in infinitely many ways. Paid or not I'll spend my "free" time writing code and designing circuits.
Looks like a cool product, but the site is really slow right now. Time to 'kubectl scale' up...
This is one of those cases where it's good to know a bit of electrical engineering.

If an adapter, connector, cable, etc. is both "passive" (i.e. isn't doing anything clever in there with ICs that consume some of the power sent along the line) and "digital" (i.e. has transmission semantics which moot RF interference as long as the cable is within a proscribed length and between powered switches) then it doesn't matter whether you pay $0.70 or $70 for it. For example, an HDMI cable is an HDMI cable is an HDMI cable.

If an adapter/cable/etc. is "digital" but "active"—like, for example, a USB-C to Thunderbolt adapter—then it might do the wrong thing, which in extreme cases (e.g. the https://www.usbkill.com) can damage your devices. But, most data-transmission PHY layers (Ethernet, USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt, etc.) are built to protect host devices against most "dumb mistakes" that might be made by a peer device or a piece of infrastructure (and things like lightning strikes, shorted sockets, and chewed-through cables besides.) You really have to intentionally try to make a USB Killer to make a USB Killer.

Now, if (at least one end of) an adapter is analogue, then you're basically screwed and should be very scared of cheap kit. Basically, don't trust $0.70 DACs. There's a reason there's no such thing as a $0.70 USB audio or USB wi-fi receiver: these are the sort of things where the correctness of the DAC is all that stands between your computer and a huge current.

what is connected sticks. you remember one thing because it connects to something else you know and you forget another as it's not connected. or much more likely: it is actually in your memory (ie neutral pathways that 'represent' that item exist, but you have no way of actively or consciously recalling it as you cannot find those pathways in your own mind. all that works by association, so connection is key - and then you need strong connection and repeated use to make sure it's not overwritten (the connections get weaker as each neuron makes new or uses other connections) and continues to be connected.
A large percentage of our dietary need is strictly for energy (via glucose). Carbohydrates are most efficient over fats or protein to fulfill this need, among other needs like fiber intake. Complex ones work best, not only for sustained energy but other benefits as well.

Yes we have needs for micronutrients, which are acquired from all of the macros. If your diet is truly varied, balanced, and adequate (in all three macro categories) on a regular basis you will likely not be significantly deficient in micros.

I first looked at Polymer quite awhile ago, maybe over a year. I guess I kind of thought it was a stepping stone to Angular 2 which uses a component model, like most of the other latest frameworks. Or that maybe it was some kind of special one-off project at Google. Once I stumbled onto Angular Material I sort of forgot about Polymer because I didn't have a dedicated UI guy, and there was a nice cache of controls to work with. I'd consider looking into Polymer again if I see a some good demos in the PolymerElements, and if it seems like there's a roadmap with an active community. I'm always impressed with Google Play Music.
That's basically what they do. When you're done cutting out the non-verifiable stuff in those articles, you're left with an article that says "Bob Flendersonhaver was probably the name of a person who once stood beside a softball field outside Cedar Rapids, Iowa".
No, the anecdotal experience of a single person with zero attempt to put it into a broader context is still entirely unhelpful.
Have a look into websockets. They are used to create an always open connection between the client and server. Meaning your application will not need to continually poll the server for updates.
amazing what kind of bias exists in headlines alone. when you filter down, it becomes so much more obvious.
I don't understand the question. That's what the standard in fact is.
Natural selection and mutation. The most revolutionary thing wasn't that there was change, but that the changes were effectively "random" change. Randomness and species interrelatedness is what drove (still drives) teleological fanatics absolutely nuts.
Even that doesn't seem like a clear distinction?

If you ask me for the most likely new value for a dataset, I won't know. But if I graph a few things and then write a function to spit back the current mean or median, is that machine learning?

I'm not trying to be snarky there, I agree that the bulk of ML tools are fundamentally just statistical tricks with some layer of abstraction. As a result, I have a lot of trouble knowing how much abstraction justifies the ML title. I see some people using "statistics to produce unintuitive solutions" as a standard, but that just begs that we ask unintuitive to who?
Here's my single and childless (most likely forever) take on it, more like.
I agree with most back pain, but not with testiculiar pain. I think the "insomnia" claim threw the doctor off?

I went to Chiropractic school, until I realized there's no such thing as a Subluxation, except in a handful of people--usually due to trama that only surgery can fix. While, I don't believe in subluxation, I do belive, for some reason the arterioles around the back constrict, and this is what causes pain. When the stress goes away, or the body just returns to homeostasis; the pain goes away. That's might be why massage, chiropractic, and just moving around will cause the pain to go away?

I belive their doing research on this hypothesis.

I remember twenty years ago, Dr. Dean Edell talking about back pain. Something he was very familiar with himself. He said they have done studies where the looked at cadavers, and found many people have bulging discs, bone spurs, etc. in patients who never complained of back pain.

Chronic debilitation pain=might be something serious.

The back that "goes out" for a few day=probally nothing to worry about?

Your pricing page loaded horribly slowly and then was too complicated to "know at a glance" what I'd want.
See my comment elsewhere in this thread about overpopulation - it's really not a legitimate issue to worry about (Malthus was wrong).

This is not directly related to this article but I wonder if anybody has the same problem: Any kind of sugar gives me joint ache, headache and sometimes even fever. Even sugar from fruit not just added sugar. No blood tests have shown anything unusual and doctors don't seem to know this problem either.

Is anybody else experiencing this? It makes life quite difficult because it's really hard to avoid sugar totally.
In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.

"What are you doing?", asked Minsky.

"I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-tac-toe", Sussman replied.

"Why is the net wired randomly?", asked Minsky.

"I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play", Sussman said.

Minsky then shut his eyes.

"Why do you close your eyes?" Sussman asked his teacher.

"So that the room will be empty."

At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

In an emergency you don't need new hardware. You can get cloud servers in minutes. If people have been practicing restores then it should not take particularly long to get the containers working again. A couple days to get things working-ish. That should be survivable while everyone focuses on the news coverage of the meteor.

But that's a true emergency situation. Don't go offline for multiple days for something that's reasonably likely to happen.
I don't know what social interaction generally, and especially relations between the sexes, would look like absent anything that's at least as "manipulative" as mood music, of all things. It'd be some extreme sci-fi material, probably considered highly dystopic by most exposed to it.
I'm not talking about "information", I'm talking about the ability to predict. And I'm setting a very low bar.
Nah. USB-C to USB3.0-A is trivial. It's just a simple electrical connection, without any signalling logic (correct me if I'm wrong).

I didn't miss it at all, your point doesn't hold water, lots of companies provide great health insurance to their employees so the "socialism" thing doesn't really explain anything about them not providing other benefits.
Space has little to do with it. Wikipedia is meant to be a reliable compendium of knowledge, and it can succeed only to the extent that it contains easily verified information. Obscure topics will of course not have much in the way of verifiable information available.

Not to mention that both xdg-open and open can both do that on GNU/Linux and OS X, respectively.
2017 State of Hardware Survey
I think you may be ascribing too much confidence and condemnation to my comment. I removed my inaccurate statement about the edit when I changed my comment, as I couldn't determine how to strikeout my text as I normally prefer, but my intention was not to make a definitive claim about the nature of Wikipedia, and I don't believe I worded my comment as such.

As far as I recall, my initial comment about how the deletion search worked was hedged by the phrase "it appears", (or something substantially similar). I provided evidence of what steps I had taken in my work. My joke about pitchforks was merely a joke, meant to point out how quickly users make up their mind one way or another.

I edited my initial comment to admit my error as soon as it was pointed out to me. Had I been acting maliciously, I would have just removed that section completely.

Regardless of what words I used to describe how Wikipedia works, the word I used in my assessment was "plausible", which I think is a very even-handed word. I specifically chose it because it doesn't make a strong claim either way.

You are reading a bit too far in to my comments if you think what I said was a definitive claim about how Wikipedia works, or an attack on other users.

Could Wikipedia ever be forked by a group that wanted to compete by trying to win with a better culture and/or technology?

It's such a hostile culture it'd be nice to get rid of persnickety behavior, and indulgence of unproductive obsessive personality traits (like deletion binging, worrying more about rules than the spirit of the rules).

> But every article on Wikipedia imposes maintenance costs on the project, because every article is an opportunity for error, and it's the responsibility of every member of the project to eliminate those errors

Indeed. The best way to answer that is to recruit more members, not to reduce the size of the project.

This article struck a chord with me as a lot of the issues are growing pains that we've been going through with OpenStreetMap. OSM is expressly not deletionist. We do have maintenance concerns - particularly in the case where "out-of-towners" come in and blitz a town, adding all the shops then leaving before a community has formed to maintain them. But our chief response to that is to try to grow our community.

FWIW, here's a page summarising the differences between OSM and Wikipedia editing philosophies: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Welcome_to_Wikipedia_user...

Truth.

Every time there is a thread about VSCode or Atom, you always get people asking why does VS Code run so well while Atom is sluggish.
The problem Wikipedia sees for these very short articles that state nothing other than the fact that they were mentioned in passing in a newspaper article is that there is no potential for them to ever be good articles. The band is defunct, no additional reliable sources will ever be created for it, all available sources have been exhausted to produce an article of almost no value.

You're right that the article has some marginal value. I think many deletionists would even agree.

The problem is risk/reward. Every WP article is a commitment to defend a topic against entropy and malice. Every article is part of the attack surface exposed to vandals and spammers.

So in the view of most of Wikipedia, articles that are fated to forever remain "stubs" have negative net value.

Reasonable people can obviously disagree about this, but I find the deletionist argument against zombie stub articles to be very compelling.
If i may ask: how do you feel supermemo aided you? How regularly/much do you use it? What items do you store and what card models have you come to prefer (cloze, q-a, ...?) How has this impacted your life?

Well of course it did, it was more than four centuries off.

CUDA / cuDNN are well tuned and integrated with the most popular libraries.

At this point, in order to get people to switch not only would your hardware have to be faster, but your replacement for cuDNN would have to be better as well. Which is by no means impossible, just difficult.

More accurately, $5m invested properly (low-fee index funds, real estate etc) will yield approximately %2-3 annually after inflation (assuming "normal" inflation in the %3-5 range). That works out to around $100k annually, again inflation adjusted. Nothing's certain in life but $100k/year, inflation-adjusted should probably be enough for most people.
