Nintendo has rightly identified that their biggest potential competitor is themselves. They will never release SSBM with netplay because then a large portion of people would never buy another Smash Bros game again.

You can't even buy the original 18 year old Smash Bros on the virtual console!
No offense, but this person has no idea what they are talking about.

But I say: "It's true that neural networks can not be easily applied to natural languages," Take that!

My point is that you should never POST from HTTP to HTTPS. So anytime that this happens, Django developers are more than justified on issuing any error they want and marking them wontfix as they wish.

Agreed but what kind of staff could I be? Different roles and different companies mean very different kinds of staff.
Usually, why a cofounder leaves their startup is relevant for the next job. Specially when they say it's not relevant.
Insurance isn't magic money. The cost of the satellite is recouped through premiums charged to companies launching satellites. It becomes part of the cost of launching one way or another. If gain X has cost Y, Y still factors into the tradeoff even if it's insured.

To put it in concrete terms, if insurers decide that SpaceX is significantly more dangerous to its payloads, then launch insurance for satellites using SpaceX rockets will become significantly more expensive.

Apropos considering Davis has a semi-permanent population of itinerant couches which migrate almost every other summer. I really could've used this algorithm when some friends and I moved a huge custom couch into a townhome in downtown San Jose which had to navigate narrow stairwells like frickn 3D chess.

Btw: our first house off-campus (right next to the railroad tracks on I St., wish I were joking) had probably three (3) couches, which mostly my mom made a million times more domesticated.

Fun-fact: up until 2002, Davis didn't have an open container ordinance, so it was possible to legally drink in the alley, King of the Hill-style, or just walk around with a beer just like in London, etc. That was back in the day when Velvet Elvis was trying to survive and get an alcohol permit.

Depends...I had more problems with my work MBP to be honest than with my Arch clevo laptop I use at home.

On the MBP, I experience semi-frequent freezes, kernel panics, overheating, unstable WiFi, inaccurate battery status reporting, scaling issues, occasional green tint, FS lock up etc. - it's still nice, but I wouldn't say it's more smooth than modern Linux with GNOME 3, in fact I've had much less problems with that setup than with my MBP.
No, this cannot be done. In theory, it should be possible with xhyve in the future, but at this moment, no PCIe or TB passing is possible because of the lack of support on the hypervisor side on desktop operating systems.
So a lot of the issues mentioned in the article seemed, to me, to relate to rights extensions for publishers.

I'm a little surprised that you think that the US goverment is likely to champion the cause of Internet companies against copyright holders give the fact that, AFAIK, the US has led the way in extending the rights of copyright holders. Indeed there was a story today on HN on this very topic (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13297792) which pointed out that Canada and the EU actually have less restrictive copyright laws than the US.
Bitbucket should not POST from HTTP to HTTPS. It's their issue to fix.
Hi! Ever since HR & Friends adopted the way of Facebook/Amazon/Google/Expedia/etc, I've yet to be qualified for a single job, and everyone who has ever contacted me has been extremely flaky, including Disney. I suppose this is badluck, but I went from $85k/y as a Data Scientist, to homelessness for 3 years since I've no longer any qualification as a data scientist or a competent/adaptable learner with an aptitude to soak in ambiguous symbols and produce non-ambiguous result (Ph.D., 15 years experience as Data Scientists, 10 years Tensor Flow, at least 7 years Senior Java Consultant, aka God, etc). Looking for any kind of work where I'm dignified as an equal team-member and am afforded a wage to sustain, namely in Tucson, AZ.

It's been about 2 years (we launched the new Lumi.com site in March 2015). When we started Inkodye, we were among the first users of Kickstarter, Stripe, Shopify, and many other great tools that helped us get off the ground. Supply chain and packaging were some of the hardest things to figure out, which is why we set out to build this new platform :)
That should only apply in the US, though. How would a publisher in - let's say Sweden - care about DMCA?
I work with C++ on embedded computer vision systems, and we mostly build our own low-level image processing libraries. Elements of this philosophy are quite popular in our company in building libraries, i.e. code meant to be reused between projects. The only item that stands out is the following:

Don't use C++ runtime wrapper for C runtime includes (<cstdio>, <cmath>, etc.), use C runtime instead (<stdio.h>, <math.h>, etc.)

I don't have any idea why it may be useful.

Since we often deal with scientific image processing, there's a heavy use of templates, but no “esoteric” metaprogramming, and it does not contradict this “orthodox” manifesto.

On the system design side, we mostly compose our systems out of rather heavy objects encapsulating separate testable subsystems. These objects exclusively use smart pointers and often exceptions and can use RTTI if it somehow aids postmortem analysis (e.g. including type_info in exceptions). Also, multi-threading also lives here, and it is usually heavily-modern-C++-flavored Intel TBB and/or simple message queues.

On the whole, it is Java-like on the top level, C-like on the bottom, templates at the basement, and whatever language helps best to stabilize the whole structure.

ADD: Overall, these “orthodox” qualities have significant effect on whether the library should be accepted by us in a serious project. I.e. mostly for this reason OpenCV use is mostly limited to prototypes and auxiliary software. However, Eigen and TBB are the exceptions, since they provide great features while being very well maintained with respect to reliability and compatibility.
Can you please elaborate in a few sentences that about the German culture?
> People are reacting rather violently to 15 days is three weeks, although it isn't

That depends on how it's counted, it may be counted the way you are but it also might not be. For instance, the standard holidays that you list do not come out of my PTO pool, which is the number of days that I was told it was when I was hired. The result being I have those days plus those five, plus the day after Thanksgiving, as time off, I just don't get to pick when those last six days are used.
But there's something that can be done about it. The labor rights people do have today in the USA were won by taking action, not given.
I think in a future with high unemployment due to automation European countries, the former soviet block countries, and countries like New Zealand and Australia could fair better. A history of socialism means they will be more receptive of concepts like UBI.

I also disagree that the poor parts of Europe are better off than the poor parts of the US, although I haven't been to the poor parts of the US. The poorest parts of the Baltic countries are very poor, with some older neighborhoods lacking facilities like running water and sewerage, very high unemployment and very low wages.

> If the Mexican government is unable to keep its people from getting killed as a result of a neighboring country policing intoxicants, that's a failure of the Mexican government to control crime within its borders

Sure. But: a) it is reality, the Mexican state is not strong enough to solve that problem given the economics of the huge market for drugs in the US, b) my hypothesis is that the US would also benefit from legalizing drugs, producing them, taxing them and treating the problem as a healthcare matter (similar to what it does for alcohol, tobacco, and better than it currently does about prescription opiates). I do not think harmful consumption would increase in the US after legalization, and I think better quality controls and openness would make it harder for people to overdose and easier for them to get treated. This is of course not tested, but my sincere belief is that it would help both the US and Mexico, and at this point it would be a lot quicker than what needs to happen in Mexico for the trade to end on our end.

Starting his argument from a statement on continuity is a complete non sequitur though.

If he's going to make technical arguments, then they should at the very least be relevant and correct.
YMMV. For me, I got angry that there were many parallel ways of updating and getting software on Mac.

Some elevated Apple apps are updated via System Update. Some are updated via Mac App Store. Some are updating themselves when they feel like it. Some are updated via brew, or via macports.

But I am not gonna argue much or anything, I grew out of my teens and I no longer want to tell other people that my OS is the best :) it's not, I definitely wouldn't give Linux to my mom (at this state).
The last part can be simplified to this:

thors = thor()
szs = flatten(map(list, map(sz, thors)))
gdxis = flatten(map(list, map(gdxi, szs)))
etis = flatten(map(list, map(eti, gdxis)))
amupis = flatten(map(list, map(amupi, etis)))
results = flatten(map(list, map(kben, amupis)))

# print results
I find my taste buds adjust after a period of time, I also look for products that are my favourite foods only sweetened with stevia. I found one healthy candy called SmartSweets, gummy bears only using stevia that are natural and they've really helped me.
I'm flattered that people seem to have enjoyed this essay of mine. I'm a little embarrassed that this happened even though I hadn't gotten around to updating the text to refer to the examples that are in the actual diagrams. On the other hand, nobody seems to have noticed.

If anyone isn't familiar with Sun Ra, I recommend reading his wikipedia page - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Ra.

His worldview was a fusion of music, theology, the arcane and afrofuturism, fueled by what I believe was a mental health issue. A truly fascinating individual.
As for why this has happened, there has been a systematic propaganda effort by corporations who own most of the media and it's been quite successful.
plz tell me the differences
Sounds like a vanishing market, though.

People don't buy new cars because theirs are "outdated". They buy the new shiny because they deserve the new shiny godammit. Not unlike computer hardware geeks who only buy new devices when they need it.
It is a lot more neutral these days, you're not wrong but context is an important part of it.

I'm not a radical feminist or anything, I just think in tech it's quite important to be inclusionary at every given opportunity and every level. The male-only culture we've fostered in the tech industry is becoming poisonous. And nowadays it only takes one person outside of your laser-focused demographic to write the right [insert social media format] that gets your book seen. Especially if you don't have the budget/time/inclination to re-write copy.
While a test suite gives you a collection of examples of use, it doesn't tell you the intended purpose and motivation for the software, why it is designed the way it is, provide any argument for correctness or best-, typical- and worst-case performance, or discuss what trade-offs were made, and why. It is often hard to divine the underlying rules from a set of examples, and they don't go out of their way to point out which are the corner cases. There is a great deal of information in the design of any non-trivial piece of software that is not efficiently expounded by tests.
I think That's simply not true: every country has taxes and in every democracy there will be around as many people who would like lower taxes as there are people who would prefer higher taxes. Whether the income tax is 15, 20 or 30% doesn't change that.

If you want low taxes, the US really isn't the place to be either. The caricature of Western European countries as socialist dystopia is usually only based in ignorance or disinformation.
This is really neat! I'm in a similar situation (Late 2013 Retina MacBook Pro 13") and have been doing some research on deep learning and neural networks. Has anyone had success using eGPUs with things like CUDA and CUDNN? Is TB2's lower bandwidth a bottleneck that would keep you from using a really beefy eGPU for these purposes?
We are hiring for multiple positions at different level of experience spectrum. Candidates applying for senior positions are expected to know a little bit more than fresh out of college kids.

As much as it works, I find Rails to do things Automagically, which makes little sense to me.

I'm the programmer, not the framework!

Maybe it is because I love the Explicit is better than Implicit approach more than the Convention over Configuration thing.

`zip` solves the problem when you're iterating over an entire class of objects, which is relatively often; it doesn't help when you are dealing with some subset or relationship, so that your index is being fetched from some other array somewhere.

Why recursive data structures?
Is "Remote OK" for Interns?
Yes we could look at other effects from animals vs vegetarian, but then all the numbers we use are simplifications. The effect of driving do not consider the drilling, pumping, transporting and refining of oil, only the actually burning of gas.

When talking about farming we also need to consider water use, water cleaning, and eutrophication. In some places we even have a harmful effect to biodiversity when previous farm land is reverted back into forests (Sweden is in this situation, where some species that depend on open land is drastically decreasing when animal farms are abandoned and land get grown in). I even know government projects which funded fishers to fish in lakes where eutrophication caused overgrowth of certain fish species that directly threatened extinction of other fish. It is complex system, which is why looking on only greenhouse gases makes for easier for comparing one activity vs an other.
I've tried git-annex a while ago, while I admit this is definitely a killer feature I wasn't aware of, it is just not what I'm looking for tbh.

Tho I hope that annex gets more attention, it's still a great tool, especially with this tor pairing.
I'm not sure how wanting closer economic relations with former colonies is equivalent to lusting for empire, or even a bad thing. With Canada, Australia, New Zealand (and the US) especially, the UK has a lot of cultural and political synergy.
And what would be the upside to that?

Sure, HW would work better, but I don't want to update two OSes instead of one.

And the only thing I am really missing on Linux is Adobe Creation Suite. GIMP and Inkscape are not nearly adequate (although they are for a better price). And there is literally nothing like Flash, for a simple animation.
Summarized from Susan Cain's book "Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking"

---

A very basic definition is that introverts have a preference for quiet, minimally stimulating environments.

This means that introverts tend to enjoy quiet concentration, listen more than talk and think before they speak. They tend think more and focus on quality over quantity in most things and tend to focus intently on a single project at a time (i.e. friendships and how they engage projects and hobbies at work/during free time).

Extroverts are energized by social situations and tend to be multi-taskers who think out loud and therefore need others' feedback to validate their ideas or nudge them in the right direction.

---

I highly recommend the book, especially if you think you're an introvert or have difficulty accepting yourself as one. It really helped me see that it was OK being introverted and that there were certain advantages that extroverts don't have
Indeed! And I'm talking to some orgs about setting up their own instance for them :)
As a southerner, I am surrounded by "conservative" people who are collecting several checks from the government, who paid nowhere near what they are taking back out, who endlessly bitch about Obama and Democrats, who rag on some poor girl who works at WalMart 39 hours a week using a WIC card as an example of communism.

I don't believe there is a system of government or economics that will tolerate that level of self-delusion for long. Our fundamental problem is that the postwar period was so provident for us that we have lost all touch with reality.
The counter-argument to that is that you still get corporate owned "fiefdoms" where A) a company can keep things out of the public domain eternally for relatively cheap even if they don't make money off of it by subsidizing it from other balances, and B) the point of things eventually reaching the public domain is novel uses/reuses outside of what the original creator (or at least owner) imagined for it. (A is especially relevant in the era where there are really only 5 major media corporations with huge backlogs and enough "war chest" funds to protect them for potentially centuries/millenia.)

One counter-balance I've seen mentioned is that any proposed annual fee should be exponential (presumably with a relatively modest exponent such as say (1.0, 2.0]) with the number of years since original publication date.
Thanks for the tip. Interesting to learn that the W3C is involved in the development of OStatus:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OStatus
"Text, a sequence of words, is not a byproduct of a statistical process, it is a byproduct of a cognitive process."

That cognitive inference process is what we've formalised as probability theory.

Whenever you do /anything/ your brain may be selecting from a probability distribution over things that can be done immediately.

As for text as continuous data just chuck it in glove, word2vec, lexvec or fasttext. Given enough training you could model the velocity of concepts as they're being introduced to the dataset / model.

Also, on the whole, shallowish learning can be applied to Natural Languages pretty easily. Keras includes a memory network (LSTM with an autoencoder) that averages around 98% accuracy on the bAbI 10k Q/A task.
> this is FUD.

I wish people who stop using "FUD" as a synonym for "incorrect" or "wrong".

FUD ("fear, uncertainty and doubt") is a disinformation strategy to undermine the opposition and "influence perception by disseminating negative and dubious or false information and a manifestation of the appeal to fear" [1].

FUD was famously a tool used by Microsoft against its competitors.
