The 5 Levels of Machine Learning Iteration
For what it's worth, the only Lisp enthusiast I know swears by SBCL.
I've tried several educational programming environments for a semester at a time, and Scratch is by far the best for students too young to type. Logo and Processing are nice for slightly older students.

It's not immediately obvious, but Scratch is very very good at some important things for education. Loading, saving, and starting the editor are fast even on slow machines. When things go wrong, they don't stop the rest of the program. And concurrent programs are easy to write in a wide range of styles because multi-frame loops run at exactly the same speed for all scripts.

There are a lot of imitators that improve on Scratch's weaknesses by adding first-class references to lists, sprites, and functions. Or integrating a physics engine. Or binding directly to Minecraft or Sphero. But if they are slow to load or execute, you can't iterate as many times in an hour of class. If errors demand time to troubleshoot, that attention comes out of the rest of the class's instructor time. If you are limited to only one way of writing concurrent processes, it might not be a style that fits well with a particular lesson.

I hope that the ongoing HTML5 port of Scratch gets the same things right.

If investigative news meant anything, they'd be all over this. But most investigative news is gone, and there's so few investigative reporters and trustworthy news outlets left that its hard to hold ebay's feet to the fire.
Other way around: the ideology forms and defines itself around the class-interest of white-collar, highly-educated professionals.
As this described by the NYT (maybe the original paper describes it better?), there's all sorts of problems with this conclusion:

- A very small sample size

- Confounding factors: one group consists of collegiate runners (i.e., college students), and another consists of "young men" i.e., presumably men who didn't necessarily go to college. Even if both groups consisted entirely of college students, there might be other confounding factors that could explain the differences rather than running itself (eg: runners spend more time outside; runners' days are more structured; college runners probably drink fewer nights a week than average)

- The control group "said that they had not exercised in the past year" - could it just be that exercise in some form improves brain functioning?

I was a mediocre Division 3 cross country and track runner, so I feel like I'm qualified to say that while there are many benefits of running, improved brain function is not one of them.
From what I understand (someone correct me if I am wrong), the syntactical approach in AI has its roots in classical analytic philosophy, as in Russell and Whitehead's Principia Mathematica. The idea isto replace ordinary language with a perfect language composed of clear, simple concepts that would describe all truth and reality in a completely precise manner.

Russell's student Wittgenstein originally supported this approach, but later demolished it in his book Philosophical Investigations. He showed that any useful language would be imperfect.

It seems to me that the fact the machine learning approach is succeeding where syntactical AI failed helps demonstrate Wittgenstein was right.
I never even noticed that it was blue as a branding thing. You can toggle it off with Super-K Z now.
There are plenty of compelling arguments against excessive running:

1) It is destructive to your joints and tendons. Injury rates are very high among runners.

2) It is stressful, resulting in chronically elevated cortisol levels.

3) It is time consuming and boring (of course this is subjective), and very inefficient at improving fitness.
I've also had mostly good experiences on eBay as a buyer, but a couple of very bad ones as a seller.

eBay's seller protections are non-existent, and I no longer use eBay for equipment sales. I do local sales (CraigsList or personal connections) or donate it to an appropriate 501(c)(3) for the write off.
I bought something the other day on eBay and the seller sent me a collection of photos of the product being packed and posted.

I think it's a great idea, even just for the buyer's piece of mind.

If anyone is wondering about the somewhat polygonal shape of the lunar umbra, apparently it's not a rendering error, it really is a bit polygonal. The edges correspond to some lunar valleys, as this nasa link explains:

http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/details.cgi?aid=4517&button...

The Earth relief has quite an impact on the umbra shape too, in some cases I would say it can change the diameter of the umbra by a few percent (check 00:26 in the nasa animation)
In a library, breaking releases should be far fewer than "regular" feature releases. My point is that if you break code more than a few times in the history of your library, you'll get a revolution. For example, see Python 2->3, which was a relatively "small" fix (which just happened to affect pretty much half of existing string processing code), and PHP, where they seem to introduce and then turn around and remove those features every couple years (mysql, no, mysqli, no, PDO? Are we there yet?)
You might be an awesome person and well worth doing business with but the entire class of people you belong to might still be a bad risk.
Also worked at a Healthcare (claims processing) company owned by multiple giant insurance companies. I never thought of it as healthcare but just health plumbing, all we did is push HIPAA data from point A to point B. And we also had horrible turf wars and insanely stupid projects that did no one any good.

What you are doing is far more interesting. It was pretty obvious that there is a lot one can do with data, assuming you can deal with the HIPAA limitations. One ill person is hard to get much from, but 10000 is different story.
You'd need to also record yourself putting a real phone IN the box when you're shipping it, but it seems that even if you did, your evidence would just be ignored by ebay.

"There also, interestingly, was less activity among the runners in a part of the brain that tends to indicate lack of focus and mind wandering."

That's also called "thinking". An unfocused, wandering mind is a creative mind.

This article completely reinforces my general opinion of runners tending to be mindless automatons, obsessively rehashing their to-do list and daily schedule while out on their morning jog, before having their extra-foam soy half-caff latte with cinnamon and organic raw agave sweetener and heading out early to 'beat the traffic'.

The penalty for taking a picture of your ballot is on you, not the person asking for the picture, and it's at the time the record is created, not when someone asks for it. So, it's perfectly plausible and defensible for me to say "There was a poll monitor, I couldn't take a ballot selfie, sorry." That is much simpler than saying "Hey, 911, my boss just asked me for my ballot proof."

(The other thing is that photos of ballots have only become a serious threat in the last few years, and at the moment there's not really voter coercion through those photos, as far as we know. If it becomes a problem, I expect a bigger crackdown on it.)

Twice I've taken credit card companies up on their 0% interest balance transfer deals. Specifically, the ones where you can write a check drawn on the credit account in lieu of a balance transfer.

The effective cost for me each time was 2.5% up front (the "transaction fee"), but with even conservative investments that's trivial to cover by the end of the interest-free, 18- or 20-month period.

Alas, with today's interest rate hike, I'm not sure how long those offers will continue. With bonds prices increasing, the "transaction fee" will rise, and there'll also be less money in the stock markets reducing the upside.

Those deals aren't a sure thing. If the stock market crashed you could maybe lose a quarter to half. But as these things go it was pretty easy money. I'm not rich enough to be able to leverage debt like the big guys, but I didn't mind taking the opportunities afforded me. Paying $500 for the privilege of investing $20,000 of someone else's money, reaping all the rewards, was well worth the cost.

That's why Yahoo made the point of blaming a "state-sponsored actor". You would expect a giant tech company to be able to defend itself against random hackers, but what if it was the government of Russia?? That's why Sony Pictures blamed North Korea for what was, in the opinions of security experts, the work of an insider.
The article says:

“… but, unfortunately, we didn’t receive proof that the buyer caused the issue.”

Sounds like there is a way to submit proof, and this video would be proof.

But, it's very important to "test" the buyer - have them document what they claim they received. Then this video can refute that.

Once they ship it to you it's too late - they'll claim they shipped an iPhone.

It's quite a stretch but perhaps they really believed in the research and didn't want it to fade into obscurity. Or an even bigger stretch: Perhaps there's a perception that American study populations aren't sufficiently reflective of Europeans so the goal was to make sure that what they thought was very valuable data couldn't be dismissed out of hand.
CA knows that. Which is why if you register in another state, they will just charge you an $800 foreign corporation fee instead.

CA is pretty good at making sure they get their money from you.
Yep, people who've run marginally popular sites have dealt with this before. Give someone a text box and watch them try to stuff 4GB of content in it. There has to be a cutoff somewhere, but as you note, it should be well outside of the realm of reasonable password lengths (hundreds of characters).

I've had some of my most rambly mental explorations running. This probably isn't in my favor, but I've patented stuff I've come up with while running. Your hostility seems pretty clearly rooted in your own prejudices.
To my knowledge, you're right. That's why I was simply trying to ask if anyone knew if he was involved. I wasn't expecting it to turn into a huge discussion.

I was simply curious.
I don't understand why you would do such a thing. When I was at university, plagiarism of any form was considered the most grievous sin possible. Ripping off someone else's research and actually publishing it under your own name would be career suicide.
That's pretty audacious. Did you confront them?
Seconded. @jcranmer, lawsplainer links to a "RICO case statement" which reads a bit like a checklist. While the checklist makes it obvious why lawsplainer's examples aren't RICO, to my untrained eye the checklist seems to match the proposed claims against ebay fairly well. Could you cite the specific items for which you think the case is weakest?

A decent 1BR on the peninsula (in San Mateo, Redwood City, Mountain View, etc.) is likely closer to >$2,500 a month plus $200/month for utilities/renters insurance. For transportation, I pay $200/month for a 15 year old Civic with liability insurance. If you have a moderately nice car that isn't paid off, you are going to pay >$200/month (especially if you commute daily). If you cook moderately nice meals and drink some alcohol, that food budget is likely going to be >$400/month. Plus going out to happy hour once a week, which isn't that uncommon, can easily cost you an extra $30-50 a week (or more). A good number of people have college debt as well, so add a monthly payment for that. I agree with you that saving is definitely possible when single and making >$100,000. I just think you low balled most of your numbers to prove your point.

Yes. We pay an independent Indian contractor rates that are fully competitive with any American contractor's rates. If someone has the same skillset as the competition, their rate is going be in the same ballpark, no matter where they live.
Typical corporate politics.
Amazon actually accepts this as evidence and will find in your favor. Video yourself packing the original and unpacking the "return" and you will likely prevail selling on amazon. I have.

Ebay sadly does not even provide you with a way to submit such evidence.

Given MD5 hashes are currently stored, how do you propose user's password get converted to SHA256/512? Should Yahoo brute force the passwords, and then store them in the new algorithm? Or should they wait for the user to log on, verify their password, and store it in the new hash algorithm (given some users rarely log on, this could take over 12 months to complete 80% of users).
I use VSC for Go stuff and the extension (lead author Luke Hoban) for it is excellent. I haven't gotten debugging working properly yet, but I so rarely need it, it's hard to justify configuring it.

I might have to make a few actions to do it, and I'm too busy being productive with the go toolchain tools so nicely integrated with the extension.

Seriously? Their business is advertising and their technology depends on big data and is designed to scale, and they offer all of their services for free. It seems like they have a huge incentive to know as much as possible about as many as possible.

I have won on amazon as a seller by videoing the boxing of the original (playstation3) and unboxing the "return" (a broken VHS recorder).

Its simple just to pull out your phone and grab a few seconds of sealing the box and putting on the label. Keep it for a few weeks until the transaction "settles" then delete.
I come from a marketplace background myself and went through two bubbles so you were spot on when you said it was easy for me to say "bets are off in a bubble"--it was easy! And it would have been even easier for me to say marketplace = no brainer. But I just think there are some benefits to leveraging existing demand-side players.

At the risk of agreeing with you too much, though, "why not?" is true, but I think the numbers could be pretty attractive regardless if they ever go/get there.

No inside info here either, btw, though I like to think I get some of the nuances in this market. Sounds like you do as well.

Reading the regulations and DMV's commentary, there seems to be no prohibition on carrying passengers for hire while testing an autonomous vehicle. DMV decided not to allow "commercial vehicles" in this phase, but that means heavy trucks and buses requiring commercial plates.

The draft autonomous vehicle deployment regulations are tougher.[1] They include a data recorder requirement, testing, and demonstrations.

DMV seems to be trying hard here to do a good job. Somebody has to restrain the "move fast and break things" crowd before they leave blood on the pavement.

Also, mail/mailx don't use PAGER for 'print', although I just learned you can use 'more' to invoke it.
I didn't know Yahoo had 1B accounts. Most must not be active, otherwise how could they be so small financially compared to Facebook and Google?
I can think of a number of ways to collect this data without requiring a special permit. The police are in coordination with California, so incidences involving semi autonomous vehicles can be collected using existing systems. I'm also sure there are means to shutdown Uber's autonomous testing via court order.

Additionally insurance and drivers licenses are already regulated.

I'm still not convinced of the necessity. The hammer is always looking for a new nail.

The bar for expanding bureaucracy and adding highly specific oversight is so low and so commonplace that you're labeled a techno-libertarian for questioning the basic economic cost (realistic benefits vs tradeoffs) of doing so.

You may feel more comfortable knowing someone is watching over these specific companies testing process. That doesn't automatically mean the world has been made safer as a result of their time spent writing complex legislation, building regulatory systems, enforcing it, slowing down development of technology, battling cases in court, pushing companies to other states/countries, etc.

Unfortunately questioning the realistic utility of such regulation is no longer the default and is dismissed as the foolishness of some silicon valley tech people disconnected from real life...
Long story short: nothing.

Longer story: it's more of a kitchen sink approach that does more out of the box whereas Browserify is more minimal.

Webpack is very config heavy too.

I give Webpack a lot of crap on Twitter about what I see as encouraging bad practices but to it's credit it's developing very nicely.

But if you're happy with Browserify there is absolutely no reason to switch other than tool-chain momentum.

Facebook can easily do better will ultimately fail for the same reasons. As long as the marketplace has incentive to alter the perception of buyer/seller reputation, it's doomed to become another ebay.

If you have high hopes for anything, it should be for https://openbazaar.org

They attempt to solve the problem with "moderated payments" where the buyer pays into an escrow account which is jointly controlled by the buyer, the vendor, and a third party called a moderator. In order for the funds to leave the escrow, any two of these parties need to agree how to release the funds.
That's the whole point. Ebay bends over for buyers but doesn't care if sellers get scammed. Since they haven't run out of sellers, it works.

GitHub is the only website I can think of off the top of my head that doesn't limit to an arbitrarily small number (aka <100). Do you name any other "major" websites that allow 100 character passwords?
Just want to point out that it's not always a planned scam on buyer's side. Actual item might be stolen/replaced on customs, post office, some package sorting facility or even by your neighbors.

For a buyer eBay is a great place because everything is protected and you can always get a refund.

For a seller, I guess you either have to accept the risk, or get some kind of insurance.

Overall, I think auction places always attract scams, so there always be some risks involved.
