I don't understand why this is down-voted. This is probably pretty perplexing to the lay-person. When a mathematician writes "relatively little mathematical background," what that constitutes from their perspective is probably radically different from what a lay-person considers to be "relatively little mathematical background"

When I see "minimal mathematical background" or the like, I usually think: "Understands basic set theory, the concept of a function, and has familiarity with basic proof structures"

When I see "mathematical maturity", I think "Understands, real analysis, abstract algebra, and topology."

Hope that helps.

Seems to be very different in Europe. Here, I can book flights with basically any app online, fares are usually very competitive (cheaper than train/car mostly) and I can arrive at the airport 1hr before take-off. Even small airports that only serve no-frills airlines tend to be very nice by now (e.g. London Stansted).

And I even like to fly Ryanair, the service isn't great but they're basically always on time and boarding/de-boarding is much faster than with other airlines (don't understand why only no-frills airlines use both doors for boarding). Don't need food&drinks for a 1-2hr flight, and leg room is enough for me for that time.

I don't really know where ticket prices in the US come from. I often find cheaper fares (for the same distance) in Europe than the US, even with airlines offering free alcohol on board and lounges that are way better than what you find in the US (domestic lounges in the US are laughable).

Glad to hear that about KLM. My folks did the same with Aer Lingus and were quite happy with the experience. I don't recall how much they ultimately paid to upgrade but to them it was a good value.

This is false. 15 percent in the US are at or below the poverty line. The remaining 85 percent certainly aren't at the top.
J.B.S. Haldane, when asked if he would give his life to save a drowning brother, replied

"No, but I would to save two brothers or eight cousins."

As you share on average half your alleles with a brother and one-eighth with a cousin, Haldane was giving the number of relatives one would have to save to "break even".

I'm sorry this struck a chord with you and made you feel like you had to declare "not all Americans." That's great that you feel that way and don't associate with those aspects of American culture, but your individual actions and feelings do not negate the actions of America as a whole. The individual is nothing and their atonement does not rectify the system they are under. Loop me back when the brock turners and racist cops are behind bars or we don't have an admitted sexual predator and xenophobe leading us. Or even when we have functioning social services or a safety net for anyone but the 1%.

I believe you that you the individual are not what I said about America, but America as a whole still has a lot of work to do. And as we live here, we all embody a part of that America that isn't so wholesome and kind, and we always will until it changes.
Finland is one of the best places to adopt basic income.

We already have comprehensive and complex welfare system that creates pockets where effective marginal tax rate is above 100% (going to work part time reduces welfare, net effect is negative). In the lowest income service industry almost half of workers would earn the same if they were unemployed. Fears of people not working if they get the same money without working seems to be false.

There is already two groups of Finns that get kind of basic income. Underage children and old people. Underage children get unconditional sum of money (goes to parents of course). Old people have guaranteed small pension.

This test has many faults, (its only for unemployed, basic income would be for everyone) but it's unconditional like basic income should be. People get the same amount of basic income even if they find work, or work only part time.

> My main beef with stuff like Redis is that in almost every case I can think of it's selected by developers. Security isn't on their radar. The systemic component parts we currently have don't value security and offload it to the literally (not pejoratively) incompetent.

There is a mini PCI-E (as well as NGFF and Expresscard) solution or every kind of laptop, as long as you are willing to fiddle around with your notebook a bit (hardware wise)

http://www.banggood.com/de/Mini-PCI-E-Version-V8_0-EXP-GDC-B...

Mine is on the way, so for now I cannot comment on the stability of the system, but I expect it to be better and easier to setup than Thunderbolt, because PCI-E is longer on the market. Sure the Thunderbolt solution is a closed one-cable thing which looks way cleaner, but I read reviews from e.g. Asus ROG EGPU users, with unstable systems. I absolutely don't want to bad mouth the Thunderbolt solution, I would love to use it, by my system does not have a port. Also, the TB dock is super expensive.
Not saying I agree, but I believe the general argument is that if tax was already paid/collected when the fuel was purchased, unbundling it from the fare price prevents it being taxed again.

Are the features here the "feature vectors" or the network architecture? Or something else? In other terms, does this project help normalizing data, or does it help tweaking hyper parameters?
A big difference between radionuclides and helium is that radionuclides are only needed in a relatively "small" quantity (producable by fission). Nuclear fusion would create helium but in very small quantities. Having 1TWe of fusion reactors would only yield 5grams of helium/second. That is not much.

Ad networks generally won't let you do that. To them it looks like click fraud.

Also, most ads are now html5 with many resources and scripts etc. for interactivity. You can't just host it on another domain - there will likley be lots of internal absolute paths and paths assembled with JavaScript that one can't practically rewrite.

Remember most sites use an ad-exchange, so we aren't talking fixing up one or two ads here - there are probably over 1 billion unique creatives to fix up.

> Flying United to Europe you

Mmm, actually it's economy or business, whatever brand name they're giving it — it'll come up as a business fare in flight booking systems. Genuine First is becoming rarer and rarer (excepting what US domestic routes describe as that), as more and more airlines follow Virgin Atlantic's original lead of a business class (very almost) as good as First, and no First. Even the ME3 are cutting back (Etihad's The Residence as an exception) — Qatar have a First Class cabin only on their A380, and have nixed it from their A350s, Dreamliners, 777s etc
The article tries to paint both sides as adversarial and politically entrenched when clearly the researchers themselves (when quoted) want to focus on the data and the realities on the ground. I'm glad that it touches upon the fact that immigration policy is more complicated and nuanced then it first seems, with emergent behaviors that are reflected in more then just falling wages.

>Borjas suggests requiring employers to use the E-Verify system to ensure their workers aren’t in the country illegally, and otherwise supports a period of “benign neglect” toward those already here: no deportation, but no amnesty either, at least until the enforcement-first strategy proves successful.

I think a huge gap in the article is the write-off of labor rights under this kind of "benign neglect" system. A policy that creates a second-tier system naturally depresses wages for both immigrant and citizen laborers.
If "benign neglect" means that basic standards for workplace safety and the right to assemble are not recognized and protected by the government, employers can use this to perform wage arbitrage.

Does it come in the box? No. So you just bought a $900 phone, and a couple months later you bought a $2.5k+ computer, and oh, HAHAHAHAHA, the fucking cable you need isn't included.

What type of user experience is that?

As a side note: there's nothing wrong with usb-c. I can see why it's an improvement! But the reason apple are pricks is they didn't also throw in a single usb-a port so we can keep using the dozen devices and 30 cables I already own.
The three Microsoft ones (C#, VB.NET, TypeScript – PowerShell is curiously missing from the list, though) are openly developed as well. I'm not sure there are many popular open-source languages these days where the developers work behind closed doors and only throw code dumps out every now and then.

That's fair enough, biosecurity is indeed important. But the cabin spraying specifically has always struck me as a bit cavalier...

It's not hard to imagine a scenario where 10 years later whatever chemical they use is linked to some form of cancer and then a class action lawsuit follows.
This is a bit surprising to me. Based on my gut I assumed that if a group has a sufficient probability of producing individuals with "broken selfishness" then the group has a higher fitness to survive, especially if some evolutionary pressure requires these "different" individuals. But this is probably not this simple.
I have no doubt new technology will be leveraged to improve productivity, but that's been quite common in the last decades.

On the other hand, the technology advances needed to transform the tools into standalone actors are not merely a matter of scaling current technology. Especially, the creation of training datasets is a problem for which we currently have no solution, that's why we fall back on human trainers (mturk, etc). That's why a solution to a problem with no clear, bounded model and no easy dataset seems out of reach.
I am not saying it's there. But it's getting there.

This shows it more clearly.

You should give VS Code a try. I used it with novice programmers and find it has the easiest to use (and explain) step debugger I have ever seen. Being able to stop a program and inspect variable state and the call stack proved very helpful when learning concepts such as loops, recursion and variable scope.

Why should I do anything? As you say, "the individual is nothing."

In all seriousness, by persisting in statements like this you alienate a lot of people who might otherwise sympathize with you on many issues that are important to you. I hate being flip as I am in my first line, but tarring everyone with the same broad brush and saying their individual actions mean nothing if the state isn't perfect is unfair and denigrates anything good people might be doing. That there is still injustice does not mean that people are not working to make things better, both in government and out.

What seems to have happened is that some laptop at the utility was compromised by some basic malware, but that's as far as the attacker got. Apparently the malware connects to some IP address in Russia. That's all we know for sure.

We can't be sure who the attacker was, or their ultimate goal. It could be a random event, some piece of automatically distributed malware, or part of a targeted attack.

This sort of false alarm is normal after an attack. Attention levels go up, events that look like possible threats are detected and have to be investigated. Go back and look at the aftermath of 9/11. There were false alarms for months. Further back, see the Battle of Los Angeles in 1942.[1]

Remain watchful; do not panic.

Dude if anyone here "wants to believe in a narrative" it's got to be you. Gottesfeld's "narrative" is simple. He wanted to interrupt fundraising, so he interrupted fundraising. It's BCH and DoJ that have the complicated yarn to spin, about how torturing little girls is OK and all of their life support equipment relies on constant access to Instagram and the best response to your connection coming under DDoS is to just unhook the damn thing.

You aren't actually being civil, when you pretend that anyone whose argument you have misunderstood is some sort of moron.
> but because I believe "just bullshit", "it's irresponsible", and "butthurt" are unworthy of a civilised debate.

The main beef I have is that on an article about expanding the use of transport layer security, people are arguing against implementing transport layer security. To me this is an incredibly hypocritical stance for people to take.

You can downvote me because you disagree with the way I'm communicating my message, but I hope you don't disagree with the sentiment that we should be working to implement transport layer security everywhere and not just for protocols like HTTP.

Also saying my points are unworthy of civilised debate because of the language I use strikes me as incredibly naive. Donald Trump says nasty things, but people can and do debate him because the issues at hand are important to them and to the public at large. Refusing to engage someone because you disagree with the language they're using, which in my case is not hate speech or discriminating against a specific group of people, is dangerous to civil society.

Just a small part of a solution file, and not exactly the easiest thing to write by hand. Where do the hashes come from, what do they represent, and what kind are they?

Take a look at the example file here: [0], almost half of it is hashes... But are they necessary? Or automatable easily? Is it well documented? Does it break between VS versions? I know VS has "updated" my solution file between versions, and isn't always backwards compatible. That story might have changed.

But... Solution files seem to be machine readable, not human.

It just seems like a bad idea to do it yourself.

NYC to Pittsburgh is actually a subpar trip in terms of Northeast train travel. It's smooth-sailing from NYC to Philly and Philly to Harrisburg, but once you get west of Harrisburg, speeds drop drastically and the resulting trip is much slower than driving. This is because the tracks are shared with other trains and run through mountainous terrain. Because the trip isn't great, it's not that heavily used and Amtrak only runs one train a day each way between Pittsburgh and Harrisburg.

It's a shame really! A high speed track between Pittsburgh and Harrisburg would really improve accessibility for the city and be well used I think. I know there's been some talk of it, but no real progress made.
Yes, but the average commenter on the site (or anybody middle class and above) will rarely be impacted negatively by this, and if anything they'll have some benefits from the cheaper low-skill labor available to them (e.g. for their companies, construction, services, etc).

As for the low-skill working class people affected, the general sentiment is screw them. Or BS jokes like "if an immigrant that doesn't even speak the language can take your job, you didn't deserve it in the first place" (as if all jobs are dependent on verbal skills, e.g. mining, cleaning, gardening, construction work, etc).

In the same vein, if visas for developers counted in the millions, there would be riots all over Silicon Valley, and angry letters to politicians...
