The maths in that article is terrible, all venture backed startups will have expenditure > revenue (because you're investing today for future revenue), you have to look at unit economics to understand if this is a problem or not (i.e. do customers cost more to service than revenue they generate).
slightest reason to not let me back in

I think if you are a US citizen there is no way they can "not let" you back in, but they certainly can make your entry quite unpleasant.

I have been flying from and to the US about once a year in the past quarter of a century. It used to be that crossing the US border was tedious, long lines and all that (especially in airports like JFK) but otherwise efficient and professional. In recent years it changed, at least in my perception, to the effect that I feel the US border is less pleasant than the Russian border. At least as a citizen of both countries I am unlikely to not be able to enter either (exit is another matter).

No one can think 100 years into the future, that's just ridiculous. Chaotic systems -- all real-world human systems on some time scale -- are unpredictable no matter how awesome you are.
Well then it seems like Web Components aren't a solution for IE users.

But on the other hand, how much IE users are left? Statcounter says that IE usage is on 12% globally and shrinking.

I think web components are the future. The sooner we have a sophisticated toolkit (think jQuery UI, Kendo UI, etc.) based on them the better.

Big players like React will steal this, if we're not careful. They want to be seen as a view library to build components and not as a general data-flow library that uses web components. I think this could be dangerous in the long run.
From my perspective, I think most people want to be socially isolated, or at the very least, never change their social bubble. After completing school, I didn't want to be lonely when living in the working world. So I bought a few books on socializing, picked up swing dance, went to meetups, took adult education classes and volunteered in the US election.

After 16 months of continuous practice, I have made 0 friends. Conversations with strangers, yes. I got contact information, was religious about following up, but people who agreed to do something with me in the future suddenly didn't respond to my messages. Attempted to have a few gatherings at my apartment and despite the people I invited saying they would come, nobody showed up.

Why even bother if people won't meet you a tenth of the way?
While it's a relatively young product, I've been running InfluxDB at scale for over a year in production and it's been a joy to use. Hundreds of hosts reporting stats every 10 seconds and the query language is straightforward and powerful once you grok the data structures a bit. It fits the bill, I think.
I know right? We jump from

> how much of the difference between people’s incomes can be tied to IQ

to

> So if IQ is only a minor factor in success, what is it that separates the low earners from the high ones?

The second doesn't follow at all. Lots of evidence suggests that beyond a certain baseline, income is almost uncorrelated to happiness, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that the highest income earners are less happy for the life they've chosen. I would not categorize that as success. If you're smart, and not crazy, your goal isn't to maximize your income.
You can always put your f-string in a lambda if you don't want to evaluate it immediately. Pulling values from the scope of the function you call your apply() method from, though, is some scary magic. I wouldn't be confident that I hadn't screwed that up.
I seriously wonder if they would let somebody like Trump enter the country if he were a foreigner, based on what he posts on Twitter.

Why are you doing data wrangling in production?
The superficial meaning is unawareness of benefits of the choice, hence not recognizing the choice for what it is.
This is the interesting part:

> New dataset is smaller in size and similar in content compared to original dataset: If the data is small, it is not a good idea to fine-tune the DCNN due to overfitting concerns. Since the data is similar to the original data, we expect higher-level features in the DCNN to be relevant to this dataset as well. Hence, the best idea might be to train a linear classifier on the CNN-features.

> New dataset is relatively large in size and similar in content compared to the original dataset: Since we have more data, we can have more confidence that we would not over fit if we were to try to fine-tune through the full network.

> New dataset is smaller in size but very different in content compared to the original dataset: Since the data is small, it is likely best to only train a linear classifier. Since the dataset is very different, it might not be best to train the classifier from the top of the network, which contains more dataset-specific features. Instead, it might work better to train a classifier from activations somewhere earlier in the network.

> New dataset is relatively large in size and very different in content compared to the original dataset: Since the dataset is very large, we may expect that we can afford to train a DCNN from scratch. However, in practice it is very often still beneficial to initialize with weights from a pre-trained model. In this case, we would have enough data and confidence to fine-tune through the entire network.
> I'd put this up there with racism, sexism and other forms of discrimination.

This is probably the most offensive thing in this thread.

You are allowed to disagree with other people's choices. You are allowed to voice that disagreement, even publicly. People are allowed to think you're stupid for caring whether or not someone else has children.

Nothing about any of that is even remotely "discrimination" and to imply it's anywhere in the same universe as racism or sexism is offensive to real problems everywhere.
Creator here!

Yup, I'm still trying to find the right wording for it; "media creation suite" is definitely more descriptive! Thx
I read this paper a few months ago and summarized it for my team. Sharing the notes here in case it's helpful for others:

- when storing time series keys, you can save a lot of space by encoding them as a first timestamp followed by timestamp offsets (deltas)

- when storing time series values, you can save a lot of space by realizing sequential data points tend not to be volatile... e.g. a "writes per minute" series is more likely to be 100, 99, 101, etc. than it is to be 100, 999999, 1, etc. This means you can encode the current value by using XOR tricks with prior values to save space

- the authors suggest using in-memory caching for recent data, but doing eventual persistence to HBase or similar distributed filesystems; thanks to this, you can get real-time operational metrics that are fast and space efficient, yet still have a system that scales out horizontally for historical storage

The Morning Paper also did a good analysis here: https://blog.acolyer.org/2016/05/03/gorilla-a-fast-scalable-...

I don't really grok this thinking. Why is destroying a target by drone different?

It doesn't seem substantively different from destroying a target via long-range missile or via a laser-guided bomb dropped from a human pilot flying thousands of feet over head. All three are impersonal ways of killing other human beings from a mostly-safe distance – especially in our modern asymmetrical engagements.

I agree that it feels gross to imagine a soldier sitting in a skyscraper pulling a trigger to kill people half way round the world, and it feels odd for someone to kill people in the morning and go home to sleep their bed that night, again and again, day after day. But military commanders have effectively been doing that since we've had faster-than-horse battlefield communication. So, I'm not convinced this is some brave new world of impersonal killing.

HOWEVER, I get the problem with drone warfare. Drones provide commanders with several benefits (no human casualties on "our" side, generally great accuracy, relatively low cost, etc.) that let them scale up the killing with minimal public outcry. This seems a real problem.

I guess my point is that the problem is not drones. The problem is killing so many people with so little oversight and so little apparent concern – whether by Cruise missile, drone, nanoswarm, T2, whatever.

I'd reword your sentence to be:
"how we collectively became accepting of our governments casually killing our fellow humans half way round the world is remarkable"
Interesting. It'd be very nice to use my preferred tool set (postgres) as an alternative to RRDTool when doing datalogging. Do you any comparisons for speed/accuracy/compactness vs using RRDTool?
The claims in question are those that are radical, specifically those involving claims of divinity, and thus not claims, if true, that can be known through unaided reason alone (i.e., the subject of divine revelation). That these claims are known through second or third hand accounts is neither here nor there. The Jesus that we know is the Jesus in those accounts so unless there's another reliable source you're leaning on (there isn't), there's little sense in talking about the "real Jesus" outside of the gospels (the most charitable reading of your use of the word "redacted" I can muster is that you mean the non-canonical gospels that were omitted from the bible, but again, those are irrelevant for reasons given elsewhere). Buddha did not make claims about being God/the son of God (which is to be expected given the Buddhist attitude toward theism) and thus the comparison in this regard is meaningless.
Haven't we suffered enough..
I started in 2015 and launched an early access in November of 2016. The product wasn't hard to make, per se, but I was stuck in analysis paralysis. Plus I went through a bout or two of depression which took away my time as well as I was writing a book which took even more time.

My biggest challenge was not picking something and just going with it. I picked what I knew (WinForms with C#) and went with it. I ended up throwing away the UI 4 or 5 times because I just couldn't get it right. It didn't look "good enough" it just looked horrible. After I launched I just thought my UI looked horrible so I started to re-do it (yet again) but this time in WPF. My UI looks so much better, I have added more functionality to the UI and it took much less time.

So far I have two big challenges, getting a paid customer as well as accurately tracking my metrics. I have, I think, 30+ downloads of the trial since I launched early access but I'm using events in Google Analytics to track and numbers I see don't always make sense. On top of that, my analytics don't seem to make much sense either as I'm getting majority of the traffic from direct but I'm not sure why that would be.

At the end of the day, I'm looking forward to 2017 as I will have a new updated release of my product, my book will be finished and I can devote more time to getting customers.

As a long-time Perl developer, it's kinda amusing that this is the new big Python feature now, when shells, awk, Perl, PHP and Ruby have had string interpolation for ages.

Yes, I know you can do more with format strings than plain interpolation, but that's all that the basic examples show.

(Also: Perl has allowed underscores in number literals for ages).

> I learned that one of the greatest sources of problems in our society arises from people having loads of wrong theories in their heads—often theories that are critical of others—that they won’t test by speaking to the relevant people about them. Instead, they talk behind people’s backs, which leads to pervasive misinformation. I learned to hate this because I could see that making judgments about people so that they are tried and sentenced in your head, without asking them for their perspective, is both unethical and unproductive.

This stood out as particularly relevant to our deep political schism of late. When you have subgroups calcifying around worldviews that haven't been stress tested outside of whatever microcosm they originated in, you end up with with large pockets of people subscribing to massively wrong ideas.

As a foreigner visiting India with the demonetisation is also not the most pleasant experience, I had landed on the day that happened. A lot of places luckily accepted credit cards, though in a few cases the authorisation failed (which can also occur at the ATM's, so be careful when queuing) and they don't always have the best infrastructure either (http://imgur.com/a/iJDfw). PayTM isn't an alternative as a foreigner, since you can only charge your account with Indian issued debit or credit cards.
Mine is 15", 16GB, 512G, 455 model. I'm a student and use it for programming, checking emails and browsing sites. I program in Java using Eclipse and in Python using Jupyter Notebook. I browse using Safari and keep tabs of time estimates in the Activity Monitor Energy tab.

First 2-3 days I was getting 5 hour estimates. Since then it increased to 8-10 and now has increased to 14.5 hours. I keep it unplugged for 6 hours regularly and the estimates have been consistent thus far with the 14.5. I haven't kept it unplugged more than 6-7 hours but I am not afraid of it running out of juice while I'm out and about. Suits my needs as a student.

US House Report: Encryption Backdoors Against National Interest [pdf]
My understanding is that the concern is not interference with voice radio but interference with the more sensitive analog radionavigation equipment, e.g. VOR and ILS. These both aren't used on the ground and don't work on the ground anyway because of antenna orientation and other issues. VOR and ILS are very old and very simple technologies (at least as radio goes), making it fairly plausible that radio interference in particular bands could skew the ILS needle and cause a badly failed landing approach.
Let's not forget when Consumer Reports attacked the iPhone 4 because of the antenna issue. That model went on to set sales records. If we're looking for a signal about the MacBook Pro's success, sales numbers may be a better indicator.
Hang (instrument)
Because you do not live in an action movie, you will not be able to stop them. You will not know they are coming, or when, or know how they intend to do it, etc. If you are well-defended with arms, they will simply use some other method. Having a shotgun does not make you significantly harder to kill in modern society. It would make you harder to kill if we were limited to cinematic tropes like declaring when we intend to do it, how we intend to do it, etc, sure, but we don't live in that world. We live in a world where the only thing that prevents our death, every day of our lives, is that no one nearby is willing to kill us.

Some people find that scary, and it may seem like a shaky thing to stake your life on. But, firstly, you have no choice. Secondly, it works for billions of people and has kept us safe for tens of thousands of years. Even after we developed the knowledge, tools, and ability to kill millions at the push of a button.
The posters rebuttals against the threat are totally under-thought cop-outs. For example, his first argument about "how would Hawking get his cat in a cage?" just put food in it. It's not hard to imagine an AI could come up with a similar motivation to get humans to do what it wants.

So much to address here.

The word of mouth has spread in the EU; Uber already has a crappy reputation there and are not able to steamroll over the regulators there like they have in the US.

Maybe I'm mis-reading something, but it seems you are implying that Uber has conquered the oh-so-tech-savy 20-something group, and now they have plenty of room to scale in the stodgy 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 age range. Nice theory, but sort of ignoring the history of Uber. Uber started as a convenient, but expensive, alternative to taxis. All Uber cars at the beginning where Uber Black and the vast majority of users were folks who could afford to drop the cash; lots of people in the 40s and 50s (including me). Uber introduced cheaper options to attract more price sensitive and younger riders. So, based on that, I don't think there is some untapped group of old folks for Uber to go after.

China irrelevant? I think most business owners would disagree with that.

On an unrelated note... Despite what is implied here, that 20 year-old is no more tech savvy then I; indeed, they are most likely less tech savvy. Hell, I built my first computer when that 20 year-old was just an itching in his daddy's pants.

Your expectation assumes that workers with home offices would replace the times they’ve spent commuting or socializing outside of their community with traversing around and being present in their community.

Personally I think it’s a crapshoot: your expectation might be true or these workers might become recluse and replace the time commuting with sitting at home (especially if they tend to be in a neighborhood that favours individualism over collectivism, isolation over community).
