> Yet in some media(particularly in the UK) it's portrayed as EU telling member countries what to do, without any notion that those countries also voted on this issue and agreed to it.

this is true, but the EU institution used its power to force through a proposal which several countries were extremely upset with.

this was the first real example of Qualified Majority Voting being used in a controversial way, resulting in a lot of people becoming upset... suddenly the EU could no longer be seen as an institution that works almost entirely on consensus

it certainly modified my views on whether or not I wanted the EU institutions gaining more power, or even retaining the ones they have at the moment
Perfect questions.. and also Europe consists of many countries.. Are the immigrants evenly distributed between them? I doubt it.

Banks set the amount. If banks start lending $1MM to employees on the basic wage that is how much basic housing costs.

For example recently in the UK the govt said they would "help" buyers by contributing a certain % for buyers. Housing went up by that amount. Available credit sets prices.

This is a waste of my time, I'm out.
This is a good point, so I looked into what other people have said about the two of them. The thing I think which most succinctly summarises my current understanding would be these arguments from [0]:

An atheist disbelieves assertions of the existence of a deity or deities and believes the burden of proof is on those who say there is a god.

An agnostic disbelieves assertions that the existence of a deity or deities has been demonstrated, but also disbelieves assertions that the nonexistence of a deity or deities has been demonstrated.

Specifically, an atheist is not saying that there is no god, just that we don't have proof for any god. A 'Strong Atheist' may go on to affirm that there are no gods at all, but that is not required for atheism.

Based on this, I think I was talking about atheism in the most part, but with a bit of agnosticism thrown in.

> (I have exactly the same objection to the actor model as a foundational unit of computing. Theoretically, it's fine, but in practice it doesn't really work if it's all you can do. Similar to "pure" lambda calculus.)

With these models, it's all about making compilers ever better at their specialized job of translating "abstract machinery" into the current physical-machinery paradigm of the day.

No idea about "actors" but "pure lambda calculus" works terrifically well thanks to 25 years of top-notch efforts invested in the Glasgow Haskell Compiler.

OO is really in the same boat in that it's not exactly ASM either, just has even more "compiler investment" behind it broadly speaking.
As a German native speaker, I'm unable to figure it out.
UK has never been EU.
Sweden was among the founder states when Euro was born, not the original states forming EEC in 1957.
Denmark is in ERM-II and its Krone has a EU controlled exchange rate against euro.
It is possible to be outside euro, but not advisable, the main market for the east non-euro countries is the EU zone, if euro falls down, their fragile economies will follow.
Usually, that latter function is served by the contact form. The intent of the site is to give them just enough info that they are motivated to contact us to learn more, after which they go in our CRM (Close.io, following @patio11's recommendation of it) and get extensive follow-up over what is, as you correctly surmised, often a very protracted evaluation and sales cycle. It's not uncommon for the subsequent back-and-forth to take months or, in some cases, even years, before (if) there is any real traction.

My organic traffic behaves about as I expect; they often fill out the contact form and we end up having a productive chat. Paid ad traffic, however, unfailingly bounces.

I never even registered my bike for insurance. It didn't occur to me and I'm not sure it really crosses the threshold of value/hassle for me.

The bigger point is that it's unreasonable to paint all people who buy used bikes without papers as supporting bike thieves. Anyone buying my bike would not get paperwork with the sale, but the bike is not stolen.
Ideology is basically meaningless. American politics is entirely tribalism.

The Democrats spent 8 years decrying the myriad ways the executive branch violated the Constitution under George W. Then Obama takes power and basically continues or expands nearly all of them, and with only a small handful of exceptions, the Democrats stop caring and forget entirely.

The Republicans spend 8 years decrying overspending and the national debt under Obama, even organizing an enormous 'Tea Party' movement predicated around resistance to it. Then, as Trump is taking power, they rally around a budget that will increase the national debt by 50%.

Ideology is an extremely loose set of guidelines that are only really adhered to in a coherent way by a tiny handful of true believers (folks like Bernie Sanders or Justin Amash). By and large, politics is purely about power -- once you win, all that matters is erasing any past victories claimed by the other party and then doing whatever will please your donors so you can win the next time.

The EU and its member states will have to adapt. If they don't then yes: Disintegration and a return to rampant nationalism might be the consequence.

The EU in its current incarnation as a centralised, geographically-defined bloc could be considered a relic of colonial, pre-globalization times (as much as nation states are a remnant of pre-industrial, pre-Information Age times).

In order to be able to address the issues of the 21st century we need a much more decentralised structure, more devolution of government to the local level and more cooperation between these decentralised entities.

Large cities in different countries and their respective populations often have much more in common than people from rural regions have in common with these city dwellers (as evidenced by Brexit). Yet through arbitrary national borders they're simply lumped together.
The same applies to border regions. Why shouldn't companies and other organisations from different countries be able to work closer together more easily?

Finally, why should organisations such as the EU be defined in terms of geography instead of in terms of shared values? As of now, Canada for instance would be a much better fit to the EU economically and in terms of values than some of the Eastern European member states.

There are some niches that are overflowing with stupid advertisers that are bidding higher than the amount the referral is actually worth. In those cases, there really isn't anything you can do. You can wait it out, but there are rubes already lined up to replace the ones that go bankrupt and leave.

That's why you'll find people swearing both cases..."adsense is worthless" vs "adsense is a goldmine". It really depends on the niche.

The secret history of Monopoly: the capitalist board game’s leftwing origins
Looking at the Erlang model, there's no view that code is reliable.

In fact the prevalent view is that code is unreliable and you should structure things to recover from failure at all points of the architecture. Messages can go missing. Calls can time out. Processes can crash for reasons you will never know about, and your architecture should be resilient against that.

Whilst this sounds extremely complex, in practice it boils down to letting everything low level fail, and having supervisors who can handle the failure.

Resource issues are a problem everywhere. For example, you want to save a file.

What happens if the file system crashes after it claims it has saved?

What happens if its a network connected drive, and it times out?

What happens if its a file on Amazon S3, and your network cable just got cut by a tractor?

You're going to have to deal with this at a higher level than the line of code which tried to save the file.

My understanding is that the use of game theory in this context has nothing to do with the domain in which the network is being trained. It's not about creating game playing AI's—it's about a 'game' between two neural networks, one who competes by getting better at classifying, and the other by getting better at generating. That basic architecture is quite general—which I think is why you also see e.g. LeCun being excited about this direction.

To be fair, the article does a kind of weird thing in discussing three different ways game theory has shown up in the context of machine learning recently—but they're all separate ideas really.

> Less is more. You don't want to show as much information as you can...

100% agree, but I don't think it's saying more is better.

Rather that because maps now have dozens of zoom-levels (as opposed to just 1 with paper maps), they can show all sorts of things that wouldn't have been included before. Things like houses, small businesses, etc. Things that would've never been on a paper map.

This makes the POI dead because now anything can be included, anything can be on the map (regardless of its importance).

(Example from my own experience: Google maps has an outline of my house on it and even my backyard tool shed. But I've never seen a paper map that also had this.)

Also 100% agree with you that personalization is awesome, but it seems like the whole point was specifically to examine the defaults. To see what decisions were made for the defaults and how it made the two different.
It should not be used for security purposes when security purposes is defined as components that maintain the security at runtime. It is valuable as a testing tool, but only against a completely finished system.
Sure -- I agree that content producers need to make money, and ads (invasive/unethical or not) are a time proven way of achieving this end.

Let's do a run down of my monthly online spend.

Netflix: ~$9.99

Hulu premium: $11.99

HBO now (or is it HBO go?): ~$12.99

Sling TV: ~$50

Google play (includes YouTube red): ~$13

Amazon prime (also used for the Amazon TV shows): ~$9

Spotify: $10

A random Twitch show that I patronize: $6.66

Wikipedia: I donate $10/year, so let's say $1.

So, roughly, ~$125/month.

I use Tumblr heavily and the ads piss me off, but the moment they offer a premium ad-free option they can shut up and take my money.

> I'm not sure if anyone ever attempted a currency something like the Euro before.

Well, from 1865 to 1927 there was the 'Latin' monetary union, which failed because some countries (e.g. Greece) simply couldn't afford to produce the coinage and instead debased the currency.
It's not the cost of processing that holds us back so much as it's the cost of coordinating. Doing things in parallel and concurrently are where things get tricky. So an opportunity to trade off software complexity for transistors is interesting, of course!

GHC isn't even close to "pure lambda calculus", sorry. For one thing, there's a lot of fuzziness around e.g. "seq", strict pattern matching vs. lazy pattern matching, etc. which leads far afield from LC. For another, there's "IO" which doesn't have any kind of formal semantics in Haskell, nevermind LC, so...

EDIT: I'm not saying it's not useful as a model, I'm just questioning whether it's practical. I think both LC and the Actor model are both interesting and valuable, I just don't think they should be the foundational model for ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING as e.g. Alan Kay seems to be advocating.

EDIT#2: I should say... I realize that LC actually is Turing-Complete, as I believe Hewitt has also demonstrated that the Actor model is. However, I believe Hewitt assumes infinite queues. As always, infinity gives quite a bit of leeway.

This isn't true... Poland has decided to close its borders to immigrants, and the EU wants to fine them 250k an immigrant for it.

The whole reason Brexit happened is because Britain wants to implement border controls.

Coming from a Mediterranean Country, I agree with you.
European laws exist mostly for matters that concern everybody. Every member state can have its own set of rules.

>Not to mention that countries who are not in the EU, but are in Europe, are doing way better on a lot of aspects

This does not mean that being part of EU has something to do with it. For example, if you want to say Norway, you should compare it with Sweden or Finland, not with Portugal or Bulgaria.

> The great thing about 10/11 speed cassettes is that you can go single on the front end. I did that three years ago, and man is it better.

Well, maybe if you live somewhere pretty flat. Or are willing to give up some high-end range (>25 mph). 10/11 speed cassettes generally only have a few teeth wider range than a ~7 speed, for example (e.g., you can get a 13-28 7-speed and the bigger 11 speeds are 11-32 (road)) . Mostly, the jumps are just much closer together, which makes for a smoother shift and easier to find a comfortable gear at a given effort.

> So I sacrifised the very highest and the very lowest gear compared to my old 3x9, but this thing never drops the chain off the front end, there is no front derailleur that always gets bent and fails to shift properly, and there are no awkward momentum-bleeding crazy shift-down-one, shift-up-the-other moves. And you save money, weight and complexity, meaning less maintenance and less failures.

Yeah, there are definitely some benefits! In my area (Seattle) with my level of fitness, I'm a fan of 2x front cogs.
I believe ad networks (that rely on third-party scripts and cookies) days are numbered thanks to adblocking. The only ads I see surviving long term are affiliate links, sponcered content and static native ads.

The problems with ad networks are too big to go on for very long. Poor user experience, Ad fraud, malware, the indiscriminate gathering and selling of user information. It's just a matter of time 'till everyone has a adblocker.
Why not? We can change the law. The people don't want open borders. So change the law to get that. If the EU doesn't, then the whole thing will collapse as we get more brexits.

Brexit wouldn't have happened if Britain was allowed to have border controls.

The real question is "what do we do with a lot of CPUs without shared memory?" Such hardware has been built many times - Thinking Machines, Ncube, the PS2's Cell - and has not been too useful for general purpose computing.

One of the simplest cases for broad parallelism is search where most of the searches fail. The required intercommunication bandwidth is low - you start up all the machines and wait for somebody to report success. Bitcoin miners and crypto key searchers are extreme examples. Problems which can be hammered into that form parallelize well.

Some problems that distribute spatially parallelize well on such hardware. Weather prediction, wind tunnel simulation, nuclear explosion simulation - hydrodynamics problems like that can be handled in sections, with communications only for the edge elements. That's what supercomputers are used for.

Neural nets and deep learning, though - finally, there's a broad use case for such architectures. Google is using lots of GPU-type boards that way now. This is a key concept. Massive parallelism on a single problem is really hard to apply to the things people used to do on computers. Instead, it makes possible new things to do.

An important question is how much memory each CPU should have. Thinking Machines, NCube, and the Cell (256K each) clearly had too little. You need enough memory per CPU that the intercommunication doesn't dominate the problem.

The other big problem is how to organize software for this. We have two main models of parallel software - shared memory, and clusters on a network. Those are the two extremes for parallelism. Systems where the CPUs are more tightly coupled than in an cluster but less tightly coupled than in a shared memory multiprocessor fall outside common programming paradigms. This is a very hard problem, with no really good general-purpose solutions.
HTTP 5xx error indicates something abnormal happened on the server that wasn't handled. The server should be responding with a 400 if it's data it shouldn't accept.

But yeah like others said I would expect this to turn into some sort of validation message on the client and never show them the backend error.
