How does that compare with https://clara.io? I thought that was made by one of the core contributors of three.js (bhouston).

I don't use web editors for 3d so I have no idea, just curious.
Not quite. If the Allies prosecuted German pilots and their commanders for, say, strategic bombing of London - including civilian targets - then yes, it would have been a sham. But they weren't, precisely because the Allies did it too. So the atrocities people were prosecuted for at Nuremberg was stuff like shooting surrendered prisoners, or deliberately executing civilians in controlled areas.
The latter. The various REPxx prefixes cause a string instruction like SCASB to be repeated until some condition is satisfied.

These date back all the way to the 8086/8088. They were the fastest way to do string operations on those early CPUs, but I don't think this the case on modern CPUs.

I use Hugo for static blog generation and GitHub pages for hosting. Works well, and, apart from the domain registration, is free.
Because what they are doing is really (an indirect form of) sales.
I think going front to back is valid too.

Restyling wordpress yields usable results qiuckly, which is great for motivation. And motivation might be the most important things if you learn it by yourself. It's just important to take your time when encountering issues related to things below.

In general there is a fine line in programming: going as high level as possible only gets you in to trouble when things go wrong or need optimization, but you often don't have to know much more than one level down and a few basics to make better guesses about errors.
Why does confidentiality play a big factor here?
I just think that if AI could beat them, they were already replaced. Any innovation in trading is automatically implemented. May be this will be possible in the future but it doesn't depend only on deep learning techniques and having huge samples for learning because they have both.

I'd take a look at https://forestry.io as a good crossroads between static sites and a full-fledged CMS
Like a restaurant though, if they were bad at their job they wouldn't attract new clients. Under a HN analogy if they screwed clients they'd have a 0 rating and lose future clients.

The assumption you have is they are simply a market matcher but they're offering more than that.

Their incentive is to get the highest possible sale price in the shortest amount of time and a good reputation. That high price has to also be clearable meaning it cannot be just up in the air and seemingly arbitrary (it can cost either time or reputation).

Without them there is much more information asymmetry. Using an online version you basically have access to the same information you would as with them but without the human element to judge through nor their experience on offer.
sessions... session hijacking.
> Diligence is automatable, in the long run. There is a human element to it, but it is small in most contexts.

I'm not sure I agree with the first sentence, but I agree that there is a human element. If true, then at least some investment banking jobs must remain immune.
The AEOI is a mutual agreement the US doesn't want to share their banking details with some nations on that list.

That said iirc the Swiss have a separate agreement with the US that agreement is based on the 1996 tax treaty and allows the IRS and SFTA to look through the banking records of each nation.
Intel do a quarterly release that fetches pre-built packages but it's only for Ubuntu/Fedora.

On my NUC, when new, I ran debian testing and had to pull in packages from debian experimental for Intel driver support.

So I'd suggest maybe switching to downstream Ubuntu might involve less trauma?

I'm sorry to rain on your parade but Australia has had decent levels of GDP growth for the past decade. It hasn't been the lost decade that some OECD countries has experienced. Australia has experienced a mining boom not unlike Canada.
I'm working on a project where I'm doing boolean ops on 3D meshes that need a lot of tests.

I do a mixture of traditional unit tests w/asserts along with visual feedback. I have a rig set up that will dump final (or intermediate) results of operations to the screen with several tests being presented at the same time.

If I'm actively developing something and am going to be spending a lot of time in the debugger I can solo a test. Having the additional visual feedback makes everything go a lot faster.

For higher level stuff having a number of tests on screen at once gives visual feedback about regressions, which again speeds things up a lot.

This combined approach is the most useful I've found so far.
Can you rephrase the question? If a tide of $2T suddenly stops (but doesn't reverse), would the worldwide economy tank? Well, every change in flows can be seen as "a crisis", the question is where the money belongs in the first place. At worst, it has made the city of Vancouver (or rather the former landlords who exited by selling) richer for a while, and they will learn to come back to their previous richness levels. Which is still better than never having seen the tide of money at all.
> Labor rights were an important fight... In the 19th century. The era of digital technology and communication ought to have a new approach to Labor laws.

By "new approach" you mean quasi slavery? no. workers will always have to fight for their rights.
For blogs and personal sites, I'd suggest a static site generator such as ikiwiki (for self-hosting), Branchable (hosted), or Github Pages (hosted, but no SSL support for custom domains).

In addition to SSL support, ikiwiki offers several other useful features for constructing a blog or news site, such as "take all the pages under blog/* and emit a page with the last 10 in reverse order, including an RSS feed".
duolingo is much better in browser than mobile. there it has course summaries, tables, etc. meanwhile, i think it focuses too much on vocabulary. instead it should be daily dialogue driven.
I have problems with this as well. Sometimes there are obvious things that can be tested on the resulting image. For example when applying a blur on a grey image with one white pixel in the middle, I know how I expect the sum of the pixel values to change, and I know the upper and lower bounds of valid pixel values.

After the fact unit tests that verify that abs(expectedImage - resultingImage) < e are also helpful. But unless you write some modeling application that has to produce exact results, a lot of code is typically about what looks good, not about what's mathematically correct. Those parts are probably impossible to properly test automatically.
Indeed it can be: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loaded_question
What's the benefit of ECC on a laptop? Less frequent system failures? I haven't seen a system halt on my laptop in months.
I don't understand why it is limited to 255 chars. The kernel copies the string(s) into the programs memory so it would be a kernel bug if the program got a non null-terminated or too long string.

More importantly this program has a bug in that it doesn't check if there is an argument passed to it at all.

Good effort but can improve a lot. I would praise the documentation but it is rather imprecise. All in all i wouldn't put it on the front page of HN yet.

Have my own blog software, YBlog: http://blog.fdik.org/yblog2.tar.bz2 Probably it's not feasable for most people, because it is heavily relying on YML2 http://fdik.org/yml and vim http://vim.org

For CMS I really can recommend http://mezzanine.jupo.org/

It also includes a Blog, is in Python/Django and is fulfilling all needs from very small to very large sites.
The good thing is that nobody is forced to use all that stuff. You can write plain ES5 and plain CSS and it will work in most browsers out-there.
AFAIK the bulk of investment bankers are beaten just by chance as this article suggests: http://www.automaticfinances.com/monkey-stock-picking/
Since the notion of curved path (maybe aside from circular arcs) is not discussed in basic geometry, the problem would be impossible to state.

If you assume given the notion of arc-length as the least-upper-bound on lengths of piecewise-linear paths between the two points, then the triangle inequality of basic geometry suffices. This seems not more hand-wavy a proof as something about "light-travelling-at-constant-speed" analogies.
I want to strongly recommend this book on procrastination: https://www.amazon.com/Procrastinators-Digest-Concise-Solvin...

I started studying (math) at university this fall for the first time in my life. I'm 32 years old.
I have extreme problems to adjust myself to the workload that is required.
The other freshmen struggle as well, but I have clearly more problems.

The problems arise most noticably when I'm not subverted to direct peer pressure, that is, when I'm not sitting in university to do homework with my group partners.
As the workload is (or seems) so extreme, at least for us freshmen, I just didn't have time to do anything else than sit in uni to do homework, often until 8 or 10 pm or even into the night when there was a deadline the next morning.

What I should have done differently so far is prioritizing the learning of material over just trying to get stuff done inefficiently.
I realise that these inefficiencies and getting rid of them are a normal part of growing up academically.

The procrastination problem starts to show up most visibly in my spare time, where I have the time but just cannot bring myself to learn the material. This is where the book really helps. I admit, I just finished it and it will take some time to show results.
The thing is, I knew for years (which I have wasted partially) that gaming, reddit, HN, twitch.tv, etc. are a strong negative influence for me. The book helped me realise just how bad my procrastination problem really is and it already helped me be more productive in situations where otherwise I just couldn't bring myself to work on important stuff due to distractions.
Yup & the most recent flash memory consumer price drops are due to a process shrink plus 3D die stacking, rather than just MLC/TLC.

Stacking can and will be used for DRAM as well but 3D DRAM-based products have not hit high-vol consumer markets yet, so it's currently widening the cost-per-bit gap b/t DRAM & NAND.
What do you use for the local webserver, spell check and image image compression?
While I love Three.js, its editor has been around for almost as long as the project itself and is sort of neglected by comparison. WebGL Studio[0] has a far more impressive editor, but its underlying engine is custom, so in most cases it isn't anywhere near as useful as Three.js due to the latter's ecosystem.

One thing I don't like about either editor is that they're web-based. While it makes a ton of sense on paper, I hate doing any serious 3D work in a browser window. Something like Microsoft's Language Server Protocol[1] but for graphical editors would be amazing. Run the project in a browser window while having bidirectional flow of data between a native desktop editor and the browser window.

Unfortunately if you want to run something like Three.js inside of a native desktop editor, you'd have to embed a web runtime. That really balloons project complexity, so I can see why so many people prefer web-based editors when making web-based projects.

One alternative, at least for 3D applications, is multi-platform frameworks that also work on the web. Oryol[2] in particular comes to mind. Hypothetically you could build a native editor around it, with no need to embed a runtime. The native editor's viewport would just use native graphics APIs for rendering. Then when you like what you see, just compile the same thing for the web. While some edge cases may not make it that easy, overall it seems to be a far superior workflow than having to deal with web-based editors or embedded web within native applications.

Unity 5 and Unreal Engine 4 both have incredible, native desktop editors that support exporting to the web. Unfortunately, they both have massive runtimes that make their web footprints a joke, among other problems.

It doesn't seem to be, or if it is, it's an unbelievably good one. As an old Patlabor/Macross fan I'm eagerly watching developments in this space. This seems to be the real deal.

I used to use Arch Linux and moved to Fedora for the same reasons (don't want to fiddle with everything all the time). I was really surprised to see that it had HiDPI support by default. In Arch, it required some real gymnastics to make it work OK.

Basically, everything works, I can get like 80% of the customization I had on Arch, haven't had any BS for the few months I've used it (besides newest Spotify version crashing with Wayland, but a downgrade solved that). It's pretty nice.
Trading illiquid products is all about knowing your market, and having a good idea of who you will be able to sell something when you accept to buy it (you are not in the business of taking a position you cannot get out of). Having a good understanding of the flows, who is buying, who is selling, who still has room for this exposure, etc.

This is achieved by discussing with sales people, who themselves discuss with investors, as well as traders at other banks (through brokers).

Now the definition of illiquid varies. Many products that used to be illiquid are now pretty liquid (interest rate derivatives) while many other are liquid only for small trade size (certain bonds). FX is an interesting example. It is very liquid but it is also a market where many clients need to make jumbo transactions on the spot, and these would be market moving if not carefully managed. That's something that could be probably automated.

I find the article very poorly written. "Investment bankers" is extremely vague and the breadth of very different product in different markets traded by investment banks makes this sort of generalization a bit absurd.

The other reason why I think the article doesn't make sense is that investment banks cater for certain giant markets (equity, FX, treasuries, etc) but also for a huge variety of niche markets, in which only a handful of banks and traders are active. If you add the salaries of the couple of traders in each of the active banks on one particular market, the savings you would do automating the market wouldn't justify the years of IT development to train and fine tune an algo, which would still need to be maintained as the market evolves (and then you end up overpaying an AI expert instead of overpaying a couple of traders...).

I think AI will shine at solving wide problems that affect a large number of people. Self driving cars. Butler robots. Building a house. Manufacturing something common. These markets have the scale to justify large investments.

I very much doubt that AI will replace every single complex task done by a man today, for the very same reason that software hasn't replaced every single manual task done by a man today: the cost of developing and maintaining software can easily exceed the salary of the few guys you are trying to replace. To overcome that with software, we need to dramatically reduce the cost of developing software, enabling ordinary employees to develop their own software. But even today we are very far from that. What's the % of a generation who can actually code out of college today? How easy and useful are the main programming languages? I'd argue we are now going into the opposite direction. Microsoft is poised to take VBA out of office. All major OS are evolving toward the iOS-style locked down platform where you can only run Apple/Microsoft approved software. Corporate IT is ever more locking down platforms with software whitelisting, etc. I wonder if the golden age of productivity improvement through software has not peaked.

Bad wording on my side, sorry. My grief is mostly against some prominent themes that weight 5 MB a page, and feature jQuery to animate the menu.
If you're genuinely not sure then that shows a not-very-good judgement in my opinion. If it is a joke, then it's getting old.
Even if this was true (which it isn't: in most areas of finance blindly following this strategy is a rapid route to getting sued for breach of fiduciary duty) there's a lot of human nuance involved in actually selling the service to a client who won't take "well the model isn't tractable but here's last year's results and an article on ML" as an answer
Unfortunately, even a recent (Aug 2016) new Thinkpad T460p included a Lenovo Windows app that apparently runs daily to send "usage data" to Lenovo. It is easily disabled, but still troubling because most customers will be unaware that it exists.

I bought a TP s540 3 years ago, and a few days after the end of the warranty, the motherboard died. Lenovo was ok to replace it for free. 3 months after, the motherboard died again and this time, no free replacement. The s540 was really cheaper, but without 3y warranty, without full mil-specs. If you want reliability, choose T/X series. 3Y warranty on site is already included, a proof they trust these products.
If you add the optional warranty on cheaper products, the price is higher than equivalent on T series.

I visited the vulcano few weeks ago, it doesn't look that dangerous when you are on the crater, but then if you visit Pompei and Ercolano, well it's scary. The eruption of 79 AD pretty much destroyed the city, fossilized corpses are still visible in the archeological site.

Naples is the urban area with the highest density in Europe. An eruption of Vesuvio would likely kill at least 1-2 million of people and bring Italy and Europe to total economic collapse.

If we could for once think logically and stop all the culture/tradition crap, we would migrate people out of this area. The Balkans are huge and deserted, with lots of areas with similar climate. Spain comes to mind too. Or even Italy itself.

Obviously, the problem here is always the same. You have lots of people living in the worst possible places, but then if something happens is the State (hence tax payers) that have to re-build houses, pay for the emergency and so on. This is a huge moral hazard.
You need minimum a amount of fat and protein to survive, but glucose can be metabolised from either of those. Sugar has no other nutrients, and the processing of fructose by the liver produces hormones which suppress satiety. Given these, there is no reason why you shouldn't cut it out, meaning that this is the first 'diet fad' I can actually support because, to be honest, I don't see any negatives.
The Pascal family are such languages.
Good to know, thanks! :)
Please keep in mind that Texas is the 2nd most populated US state. Hard to dismiss that large of a market as an outlier. But it's also a good example of why there are so many different traffic laws and enforcement policies across the US.

Texas (28M people over 696,241 km2) is very different than states like New Jersey (9M people over 22,591 km2).

For giggles... Just one city in Texas, Houston, has a metro-area footprint of 26,060 km2 -- bigger than a 8 US States in terms of land area, and bigger than 33 states in terms of population -- again, that's just one city. Population density varies widely between our 254 counties as well (one county had about 4.5M people, another had 112). We aren't a one-size-fits-all sort of place, Texas or America.

If the role of investment banking is to optimally allocate capital, then part of that job is research. Think Andrew Left's exposing fraudulent Chinese tech stocks, or the Lumber Liquidators controversy. Algorithms can augment this work, but cannot replace it.
So is this data available only for people who work at google? Or is it available for other people as well? Curious to see if I can make other types of data exploration.
I'm working on Android app that is as a reader of the old John Carmack . plan files. Probably going to release it in January on Google Play.
Not to mention the difficulty of an algorithm that can come up with a convincing explanation for why last quarter's predictions were way off but these ones should be fine.
They most certainly do chase property investors who do claim incorrect primary residence. Remember primary place of residence is only while you live there so if you change it one month before selling it only offsets one month of profits and what if you have multiple properties you can't hide it all with that.

However the bigger problem remains that capital is taxed at half the rate of labour and this matched with tax free pensions has meant people with built up capital have gotten extraordinarily rich in the past decade and a half at the expense generally of the younger generation.
