The Moon is rich in Helium 3, which is useful in nuclear applications. It's also a good place to coordinate missions to other destinations in the solar system, as the escape velocity is significantly less than that of Earth's, and there's no atmosphere to get in the way - an ideal place to launch from. There are also interesting astronomical benefits to studying the cosmos from the far side of the Moon - no radio interference from Earth to get in the way. It's also a nice place to test new ideas like space elevators from, since a space elevator on the Moon could be built with today's technology. This would play exceedingly well with the idea of using the Moon as a starting point for future missions, since you could get pretty much anywhere in the solar system on a very cheap fuel budget if you launched from a Moon-based space elevator.
Great work, exactly what I need for some Rx tutorials
Is it really any different in practice? TPM is installed in basically every computer used in basically none. Even though its been a uniquitous "standard" for two decades its effectively impossible to correctly do attestation.

Similar arguments could be made for UFI and similar. Just because some can write code for it only a handful of major suppliers actually do.

Are those any more accessible than this?
That, and it's a bad opinion at that.

Both men and women can breast-feed. Normally, after childbirth, hormones start production of milk in women. However, unless men are given a shot to simulate this, that doesn't happen.... Unless a baby breastfeeds on a man's nipples. After about 2 weeks, the man's body will start to produce milk as well.

Aside size, there's functionally no difference between the two.
conventional wisdom isn't the law of the land, the constitution is. It seems pretty hard to justify having different legal standards for nudity based on gender without running afoul of the 14th amendment.

I don't think its "stupid" for any group to fight for their constitutional rights.

It's not circular. Culture does not operate in a logical vacuum, you need to include the time component: culture evolves over time. When you consider this, you realize it's just a feedback loop, not a circular argument.
Building a moon base would probably be good practice for building one on another planet. It could also provide opportunities for lots of research that isn't possible on Earth or on the ISS.
With most developed nations looking to focus on tech and an inverting age curve threatening pension systems, I wonder how long it'll take for everything to shift from rampant nationalism to more open borders (at least economic borders).
I'm surprised that this is surprising.

Physics as a career doesn't pay terribly well, but as a degree offers a very wide breadth in coursework and skills. Grad students in particular usually have experience in HPC, for instance.
Earplugs are one possibility: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0044DEESS though I don't know how well they'd work or how comfortable they be for hours at a time. I wear them in noisy bars, clubs, or theaters for shorter periods.

Beyond that, it's hard to imagine a better reasonable solution than noise-cancelling headphones. I first got a pair in college, when I was editing and writing grant proposals while living with roommates who often (and reasonably) wanted to watch movies, hang out with friends, etc.
It doesn't sound like that is what op is asking about. Seems like they want to fully cover everyone, but offer those who don't need it an alternative.

In that case the technique was similar but the way it was used (purpose) was different.

> The new approach seems similar in many ways. Both approaches use "adversarial" MLPs to estimate certain probabilities and to learn to encode distributions. A difference is that the new system learns to generate a non-trivial distribution in response to statistically independent, random inputs, while good old PM learns to generate statistically independent, random outputs in response to a non-trivial distribution (by extracting mutually independent, factorial features encoding the distribution). Hence the new system essentially inverts the direction of PM - is this the main difference? Should it perhaps be called "inverse PM"?

And this is from Ian Goodfellow himself, giving 3 counter arguments:

> Some previous work has used the general concept of having two neural networks compete. The most relevant work is predictability minimization [Schmidhuber, J. 1992]. In predictability minimization, each hidden unit in a neural network is trained to be different from the output of a second network, which predicts the value of that hidden unit given the value of all of the other hidden units. This work differs from predictability minimization in three important ways: 1) in this work, the competition between the networks is the sole training criterion, and is sufficient on its own to train the network. Predictability minimization is only a regularizer that encourages the hidden units of a neural network to be statistically independent while they accomplish some other task; it is not a primary training criterion.2) The nature of the competition is different. In predictability minimization, two networks’ outputs are compared, with one network trying to make the outputs similar and the other trying to make the outputs different. The output in question is a single scalar. In GANs, one network produces a rich, high dimensional vector that is used as the input to another network, and attempts to choose an input that the other network does not know how to process. 3) The specification of the learning process is different. Predictability minimization is described as an optimization problem with an objective function to be minimized, and learning approaches the minimum of the objective function. GANs are based on a minimax game rather than an optimization problem, and have a value function that one agent seeks to maximize and the other seeks to minimize. The game terminates at a saddle point that is a minimum with respect to one player’s strategy and a maximum with respect to the other player’s strategy.

Young males certainly do have kids. You probably meant to say that they don't get pregnant, but that is not the same thing. Getting pregnant is neither necessary nor sufficient for having kids.
Because the price/capability curve over time for modern electronics is nowhere near linear. So to get a new phone at the front of the capability curve is very expensive, and will be considered nowhere near the front within a single season. So your bang/buck ratio for spending that amount buying luxury just doesn't go very far.
Your #2 explanation is vague. Are you saying that the system had no server-side storage of whether a given user had admin rights or not?

In #1 you mention "security practices like expiring session tokens in cookie" and then go on in #2 to say that the exact same thing isn't good enough. You do know that the T in JWT stands for "token", right?

Are you sending raw JWTs straight to the browser? Why? That's the big problem, not setting "admin=true" inside of a JWT. The data in a JWT is a claim that's meant to be verified by signing. It's no more and no less.

If you want to describe the OAuth implementation or something more substantial than a "cool kid" then it might be more illuminating, but you don't give any context.
The advantage of slack over jabber is not only that the client doesn't suck (it's just electron) but that the server logs and creates a continuous experience for the user no matter if hes on mobile, in a browser or both.
Pretty sure this is nothing to do with Google manufacturing their own silicon. It's an open secret that standard Intel server chips contain "special silicon" with features which are only switched on for certain customers. I'm pretty sure this is what Google is referring to.

Step outside. Look up.

There's your incentive.
It is just a rough guess based on my experience as a grad student. The average professor at my university had 1-2 grad students at a time, and with 6 years to finish a PhD and about 35 years where a professor takes on grad students it works out to roughly 10. I wouldn't be surprised if the number was actually as high as 20 though, 10 is probably a low estimate. Another way to look at is that roughly half of people go on to do a 1st postdoc, half of those go on to do a 2nd and 3rd or 4th postdoc, half of those get a tenure track position and around 3/4 of people with a tenure track position actually get tenure. The problem with a career in physics these days is that a postdoc position is a terrible deal. As a graduate student you at least have job security and can stay in the same place for a good amount of time, not so as a postdoc.
I'm not sure GDP per capita makes sense for this comparison when ownership is distributed so unequally in the US. Taking the mean is basically dividing up wealth equally and that's not what happens.

What is there about the German standard of living for typical citizens that compares unfavorably to the US? How can this be measured? No single number works, but I would suggest looking at medians ahead of means.
Who exactly is a parasite or a degenerate? And if you feel so strongly about this, would you feel confident posting your statements on a non-throwaway account?
In my point, I'm saying the owners of the account. I'm personally appreciative of the point that our cultural standards are hypocritical along these lines and need to evolve. But I also recognize that from Instagram's perspective, it's not really the nipple all by itself that needs to be flagged. I think that's easy for others to recognize too, which is why I think this is pretty much pedantic and pointless.

From Instagram's perspective, the display of the female nipple is a rather accurate signal (aside from this account) that the female breast is also being displayed, most likely in a manner that the US culture would interpret as sexualized - and that, even if the poster posts it in some sort of empowerment kind of way, it can also simultaneously play into objectification and sexual violence, as a depersonalized thing for others to sexually enjoy, etc. I'm also aware that it's quite possible to do that with breasts without showing the nipple, and that those photos are allowed, and that's silly overall - but Instagram's silly distinction there reflects the same silly distinction that American society has overall.

Instagram's exceptions are consistent with those views, as well - breastfeeding pics are allowed, as it is clearly a depiction of breasts being functionally represented as something other than sexual. Same with most pictures of art, sculptures, etc.

A closeup picture of a genderless nipple is actually more valuable in helping culture desexualize the nipple than it is in pointing out any kind of hypocrisy on Instagram's part. Instagram probably just rolls their eyes at this since they don't see these photos as contributing to sexualized objectification or violence. So I wouldn't see it as pedantic if this weren't chiefly about attacking Instagram. If their chief goal were to contribute towards desexualizing US culture's interpretations of women, then there's probably all kinds of things they could do.
I always wished there was a Psion 5-style palmtop computer that used the compute module as brains.
Could you please elaborate a little on the difference here between lexical and non-lexical scope, Steve?
No article on the first two pages supporting your claim. There mentions of the fact that headphones are capable of producing dangerous volumes (which is an important point), but nothing to indicate that headphone use in itself is damaging.

> Why can't the rust compiler introduce a hidden temporary variable for the let name = jill.name().first_name() example instead of requiring the developer to explicitly declare and use one?

It could, but it doesn't yet. This kind of analysis needs porting borrowck to MIR, which still has to happen. It's too complicated given the current way it works.

Though it is a matter of explicit over implicit too. If `name()` had a destructor you may want it to be explicitly tied to a scope by dint of being declared in one instead of floating around in a magical hidden variable that's tied to the scope of a different one. So there are reasons for why it may never be made to work that way.
Real-Time Bidding by Reinforcement Learning in Display Advertising
Pay 99%, or whatever the maximum is. Then if you really want to, make up the difference with bonuses.

However: there isn't much of a difference between giving people the option of having the company pay 100% and taking the cash, and paying for the coverage themselves. The only real advantage is that the insurance premium is not subject to payroll taxes (but it still counts as taxable income so they still have to pay income tax on it -- EDIT: this turns out to be wrong. See child comments.)
Ask your proposed insurer about exemptions for demonstrating proof of primary insurance from another source. Most often, the 100% rule applies to "100% of participants eligible to receive coverage" and already receiving coverage from another source--like Medicare or an employer plan from a spouse--makes someone "ineligible."

(FWIW, the 100% rule is to avoid adverse selection where the employee will not sign up until becoming ill, so the plan receives no premiums from the employer. I've also heard that some insurers do it to avoid potential liability if a person does try to make a claim on the grounds that no reasonable individual would intentionally decline "free" insurance from his or her employer.)
Science, exploration, and personal satisfaction. Don't underestimate that last; frontier exploration is a massive part of many of our cultures, but the painful truth is that there aren't any left on Earth. Everything's owned by somebody. Moving into space could have an almost religious impact down here.

The science is mostly geology and astronomy --- the moon is a great place for observatories --- but mainly it's engineering and life sciences; the moon makes a great place to learn about how to solve the kinds of problems that you have to solve when living somewhere like the moon. Which sounds tautological, but it's all stuff that we have no idea about and the moon, being on Earth's doorstep, as a good place to start.

Much further down the line, mineral exploitation. Trying to establish a proper presence in space by hauling everything out of Earth's gravity well is ludicrous, and the moon's the obvious place to go for resources. But that's much further down the line; we need to have people living on a regular basis on the moon first. Even learning how to do simple things like refining metal there is going to be hard. (See above, under 'engineering'.)
Not sure if you meant it as snark but didn't we already do that with the moon specifically 45y ago? My question was just trying to understand incentives beyond looking up.
It's illegal for the same reason it is illegal in many countries to grow cannabis and smoke it in one's own household: it is all about accumulating power and the incriminating evidence that can be planted on a dissident to imprison and silence them.

Edit: Apparently some evicence of these claims might be in order:

--

"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people," former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman told Harper's writer Dan Baum for the April cover story published Tuesday.

"You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities," Ehrlichman said. "We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."

Normal plan + reasonably allotted medical debit card to cover medical expenses is how some companies do it.
The guts these folks had to fly such tiny primitive compared-to-today spaceships is still amazing to me. Sadly back then I always thought I'd be able to walk on the moon in my lifetime but clearly that will not happen. I still think watching a Saturn V launch was more impressive than the Space Shuttle was.
Hah yeah I was surprised by the downvotes. My point was that if you were in finance, these sorts of numbers generate massive bonus'...but not in other fields sadly.
Exactly.

Compare that to a watch, clothes, or sunglasses, where an $X item today is the same as an $X item next year.

Social media has made word-of-mouth a more powerful influence for both national, and local organizations. Useful now since the local papers have either shut down, lost their investigative edge, or become locally unread and irrelevant.
Most physicists who recently graduated who I know (who don't do a postdoc) have transitioned or are looking to transition into data science. I am in the looking to transition group, so my sample may be biased though.
I don't get why the part where Liu Zhijun had to be in jail. Fast trains are intrinsically a great thing for China. People don't just "realize" it's great because of Liu or anybody else. Your "then" logic is misleading. Liu got into jail because embezzlement and favors from project contractors, at least that was part of the story, aside political factions.
Is there a big list of countries for this type of thing? do any South American countries do this?
While being a student a physics professor told me:

"Study physics now. Because later when you have a job, you might get paid to learn using some software tool or a new programming language. But no company will ever send you into a quantum mechanics lecture. "

He was right.
I like what this offers, however I would prefer to be able to access each individual "report" via a direct command as opposed to a menu. It would make it much more composable.
It's the only one I know of that supports speaker notes. You can actually use it on two screens.
Also Apollos 15-17 were much more awesome missions than the earlier ones. If you had the choice of being the first man to walk on the moon for just over an hour, or the last man to walk on the moon for three days and nights with a car and a real life geologist to explain the sights, I'd take the latter.
>Germany has a GDP per capita of the poorest US states (it's nearly on par with West Virginia currently)

Wow. I did not know or even suspect that! Funny thing. I've lived in both. I'd rather live in a closet-sized apartment in Germany than in a McMansion in West Virginia. It seems like there might be an ocean of inquiry behind that narrow channel of facts. (At least for me personally)
> I believe future CPP payouts are based on contributions made today. This is unlike the US social system where current payouts are based on contributions made with today's generation of workers.

I think you're conflating the basis for calculating the payouts you will receive, and the sources of payouts. I. e. most government pension schemes are use today's payments for today's pensioners, but will still give you a higher pension if you paid more/longer into the system.
You say pure bullshit, as in all your messages in this thread. Almost all European countries share the same principles about education and universities, and their funding, that's what is was about.

You obviously don't have the slightest idea of what you're talking about, but you don't care, you keep talking and talking, the only thing that matters it to end with "Murica is better than anything else".
Depression in your 20ies is not uncommon. I think it goes away with most people.

It'll seem like there's no way out (that's what makes it a depression). But for most people I know, it just went away or got weaker as they got older.

I haven't heard from anybody who was cured quickly by meds or therapy, so I wouldn't worry too much about a lack of progress. It doesn't mean your depression will stay.
For years "America's Most Wanted" helped capture criminals by showing photos of wanted suspects and asking the public to call if they visually identified someone.

What's the difference between that and having computers do the same thing? CCTV cameras, Facebook, or any source of photos of faces could be automated to search against databases of suspects.

Is this really a road we want to go down? I'm of two minds on the idea.
Ironically the biggest challenge is involved with connecting a very declarative under the hood plugin architecture, to a more imperitive fluid configuration for users. We would love all the great ideas we can get!
For the same reason there's not really any $10,000 cpu's, monitors, keyboards. You can charge more, but you can't add much more value, and if managed to, you might have to charge 100k. Some things are very very hard to make better. I predict posts with laser projectors and extremely rare and marginally better tech after this :)
Be careful. Insurance premiums have been rising at a crazy rate. I own my own company, so I see the all-in cost. It's a "gold plan", so at the high end, but the cost for one employee plus their family has risen from $1200/month to $2200/month over a span of 6 years. Not kidding...$2200/month. I was well into my mid 20's before I even grossed $2200/month, total.

You might be better off stating the fixed amount you will contribute for each "class" (employee only, employee + spouse, employee + family). That will give you some leeway in the future if costs get out of control.
There was supposed to be an amendment to our Constitution for that (look up the ERA), but it was killed by conservatives like Phyllis Schlafly.

> but faces essentially zero consequences for holding up the approval of a worthwhile drug indefinitely, and requiring billions of dollars to be spent on its development.

The FDA does not hold up worthwhile drugs indefinitely. It does take time and money to scientifically confirm the safety and efficacy of drugs. The whole point is to make sure drugs are safe and effective -- the FDA does a pretty good job of that.

Sure the pharma industry would have you believe it's just a bunch of pointless roadblocks. I would like for you to point out a regulation or requirement of the FDA that you think should be eliminated.
