There's not a specific book where this information is laid out. I'll write what I know and can refer to source if you have questions. At the outset, I'd like to mention that there are dualistic (dvaita), non-dualistic(advaita) and qualified non-dualistic (vishishta-advaita) interpretations of the Upanishads. As a follower of advaita, I clearly see from texts that non-duality is what these scriptures teach.

The Mandukya Upanishad talks about "ajata-vada", ie the argument that nothing is ever born. Its teaching is very close to buddhist philosophy.

The Mundaka Upanishad talks about the creation being God itself. A famous mantra quotes an example of a spider which is not only the efficient but also the material cause of the webs that it spins.

Chandogya Upanishad chapter 6 has the "maha-vakya" i.e. great statement "tat-tvam-asi" - thou art that.

Of course, reading a translation will not be sufficient to understand the depth of this text. These texts are usually expounded by scholars who are steeped in the tradition of studying and understanding them. For advaita (non-dualistic) philosphy, the master-commentator Shankaracharya has written brief commentaries on all the Upanishads. Their translations are available in English, but like I said earlier, a mere reading of them may not bring about the desired affect of "oh my god this is so awesome".

If you flip the genders around I'm pretty sure that would be true for quite a few men (at least the last part).
By chance do you have or plan to have a RSS feed? One that is some 60 (!) posts long, so I can read everything you published in my RSS reader (I'm still using one!).
This is the point I was making, although this is a more amusing way of making it.

I didn't say they should not be relaxed, by the way.

I do think at some point there will be a big public fight about what we are willing to accept.

I have heard it said that even current self-driving tech is safer than humans. But I haven't looked at the stats myself.

That's kind've where I was going with it. Basic understanding of the building blocks of society type stuff: power, water, gas, construction, radio, biology, growing food, vehicles, finances, etc.

Thinking back, I just realized the main reason that I was bored to tears in high school wasn't so much that the subjects weren't worth knowing...just that at the time I was being taught formulas without any clear understanding of why it was useful to know it. If you don't know why it's useful to know it, there's very little reason to remember it beyond passing a test.
> ...Nikon (and Canon to some extent) failed to be at the forefront of...(b) 4K video recording...

I'm in the market for a "casual" 4K video recorder. It would only be used to create archival footage of interviews; no need for ultra-fast action-capture, color can be family-photo-good-enough. From what you asserted above, I get the impression that Nikon and Canon have ceded the consumer-grade 4K camcorder market to other competitors, is that the case?
5 million before taxes is 3.5 after taxes (probably less).
If you want to stay in the bay area, another million goes to a reasonable house (probably more).
That leaves 2.5 million. For anyone under 50, a reasonable withdrawal rate is more like 3%, or 75k per year. Taxes and MRO on your house are at least 15k per year. Private health insurance for a family is at least 30k per year. Which leaves at most 30k per year for everything else.
Plus, if you have a family, there is still college that needs to come out of the 2.5 million at some point, so the "everything else" budget will go down into the 20s.
And last but not least, social security is based on last few years wage earnings, so, by the time you are old enough to collect, you will only get the minimum having not worked for a decade.

I think I would keep working.
I remember hearing from a classmate of mine in college that 'O' is a legitimate Korean surname. Blew my mind! And what about people without a surname? Mononyms are common in some parts of the world, like my native state in South India.

Does this imply that higher health insurance rates aimed at people with less healthy lifestyles is really just another insurance scam? Penalize them while we can, and easily get away with it because it is socially acceptable?
> In practice such email addresses are not possible in many server configurations, and it usually makes sense to reject such email addresses.

I would put more weight on closing the loop than filtering on the front end. I'd wager that the vast majority of sites that gather an email address do not send a verification email that bars further progress on their site. It's especially critical if it becomes the underlying trust mechanism for your site.

IMO you should only work on filtering fancy quotes out if you've already got a loop-closing verification email path. And yes, I recognize that it's really nice to catch these errors earlier. But the failure mode where people enter someone else's valid email address rather than their own is more common than you might assume.
Reminds me in an oblique way of some of Hanshan's poetry:

I usually live in seclusion
but sometimes I go to Kuoching
to call on the Venerable Feng-kan (pickup)
or to visit master Shih-te (big stick)
but I go back to Cold Cliff alone
observing an unspoken agreement
I follow a stream that has no spring
the spring is dry but not the stream

- Hanshan, #44, The Collected Songs of Cold Mountain by Red Pine
You could see them going this route, so it isn't surprising.

But, I wish their product, which now requires ads or dollars, was actually decent. As an unpaid/no-ads alternative to rolling your own it's barely passable. But paying real money or serving ads, for this junk? No way.

The quality of the content on Medium is generally too poor to support a site-wide subscription model. If they pursue that route, then they are doomed. (They’re probably doomed anyway.)

Medium is a blogging platform. Ev may have aspired to something greater, but in the end he’s simply built a competitor to Wordpress. So embrace that. Charge users a monthly or yearly fee for the platform, like Wordpress.com. Allow users to personalize a bit. Make it easy for individual users to add a paid subscription option to their sites (and then take 10 percent as a fee). Make it easy for readers to bundle multiple sites on the platform under a single discounted subscription (with 90 percent of the revenue returning to the sites). Giver users an opportunity to buy promotion across the entire network of sites.

There’s a market for a platform that’s prettier, easier, and more networked than Wordpress. Subscription should be a feature on that platform, not Medium’s primary revenue stream.
For everyone who's poo-poohing this, go read the government's brief (https://arstechnica.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/fedsrawls...). There are logs that show him visiting child pornography groups, there are recorded requests of him accessing files whose hashes matched child pornography, his sister says he showed her child porn and told his entire family that he had a problem with child pornography, and he admitted that he may have been emailed child pornography.

Now, replace child pornography with any other thing. Would you question me saying that he'd been downloading that thing?
Most of these things are more about 'not knowing' ot 'forgetting to take into account' than 'not believing'? (not a native English speaker but surely those are not the same semantically right?)

You still need to trust a set of claims under that scheme.

What if claims can be generated faster than you can verify them?
Moving away from Null Hypothesis Testing and towards a more Bayesian approach is a good first step. For me, and I'm sure many others, NHT is a very backwards way of approaching inference. I don't care about an imaginary distribution with mean 0, I have real data I can fit to a distribution directly--what can you tell me about it? Conditioning on the data itself rather than an unobservable parameter of interest is much more intuitive and makes it much easier to report results to non-statisticians.
Youtube really is the math teacher I never had.

Same here. I'm on a quest to run myself through the equivalent of a standard Calc I, Calc II, Calc III, Linear Algebra sequence, and I've managed to find great Youtube resources for all of those things (and more). It's times like these that you marvel at how awesome the Internet can be at its best. :-)

> you wouldn't believe how strong the temptation to punt on those test vectors can be

Tests on test vectors is the first thing I write, before I even start filling in the implementation of a primitive. I don't do this out of principle, but because I've never managed to get an implementation of a primitive right without it.

Parent is right, test vectors are almost part of the declaration - and don't really count as actual testing.

Side-note: Props for your humility towards criticism, both here and on reddit.

If your library gains popularity, I predict this will be one of the largest contributing factors. In particular for embedded projects, the ability to just plop in a dependency free file is huge ("programmers are like water" and "path of least resistance" etc..)

My guess is that they want to pull an Android. Tesla (and other manufacturers) want to do the iPhone thing and make a unified software-hardware solution, but it's unlikely that everyone's solution is going to reach maturity at the same time.

Say, for instance, that the best three self-driving technologies in the world, at the time consumer adoption starts, are Tesla, Google and Volvo. Every other manufacturer is going to rush to dump their own half-developed version and just licence Google's.

At the very least, Google should be able to make money by selling geographic data to all the different manufacturers. But I imagine you'll see Google self-driving tech all over the place.

I'd be comfortable retiring with a "mere" $2 mil bonus payout. But I'd also stay on at a job I enjoyed, especially something as important to society as self-driving vehicles.
> Unfortunately, not everyone gets to be born into the life of an urban westerner.

As a Rawlsian, I'm fixated on this very problem, but I'm drawn to solutions that work to tear down the mechanism (in short, open borders) rather than a Malthusian answer (limiting population) that I'm skeptical will do much to end poverty.

Open borders, of course, don't help very much if life is unaffordable once you cross that border. And again I advise looking towards Henry George for solutions to this problem.
I think JavaScript analytics is more or less here to stay. A broader move to server-side analytics depends on what you're going to use the data for. When I want clean(er) data for important metrics, like revenue/conversion rate for eCommerce sites, I implement a hybrid JS/back-end solution where I send important data to the GA API or Mixpanel via some back-end service [1]. I've found that revenue data in GA compared to the database on a number of sites I have consulted for can be off quite a bit, and sometimes +/- 25%, depending on how the JavaScript has been implemented.

With larger businesses, you'll probably see more server-side implementations as they have the budgets to ensure the data they're collecting is accurate. For a blogger or a small publisher without a dedicated tech team, there's nothing easier than dropping in a script tag and watching the data roll in.

It's not as helpful, but I like to teach my high school students: Say you're planning to rob a jewelry store. You can rob it constructively or by contradiction.

You could case the joint, figure out the guards and the employees, their schedules, their uniforms, the jewels on display, the layout of the place, and so on. You can make a plan, an appropriate scenario, disguises, make a copy of keys, some costume jewelry, some fake uniforms. Really know the place inside and out, Oceans-11 the whole thing. And if you do it right, you can make it out with the jewels before anyone even knows they were stolen.

Or you can get some masks and some baseball bats, steal a semi truck, and drive it through the front window of the jewelry store. If the jewel cases aren't open from the impact, or if someone gets in your way, well, refer back to the baseball bats.

Both accomplish what you set out to do, but the first is clearly more elegant and often takes more work and study, requiring/granting a greater understanding of the system. And future thieves would learn a lot more studying Danny Ocean than they would Johnny Smash-and-Grab.
The problem I have with ads right now is that the ecosystem for web ads specifically is poisonous. People who have ad inventory don't manage it well or respect the product they are making in enough cases that it hurts the market as a whole. On the other side I can't name an ad network that does web advertising in a reputable way. Furthermore there are some bad actors who exploit technology to abuse advertising on top of the product owners and the ad networks. With traditional media advertising was always a weird market but there was a respect of the product/business ad inventory that caused a push back. There is also a lot of sponsored advertisements right now which is a decent go-between but also is managed poorly. It's very easy to burn both sides of the bridge.

Admittedly having worked in advertising to an extent it's always going to be a grey market, but web advertising just seems to be a bit darker. There isn't enough money going around to refuse dodgy actors on the mid-low scale and that hurts the whole market.

Mooji's teachings very much follow Ramana Maharshi's method of self-inquiry. That he has a cult-like following is an unfortunate side-effect. I have seen his videos and noticed that some of his "followers" worship him. This phenomena is not surprising. Teachers of philosophy, devotion etc. are often surrounded by parasite-like followers who pay very little attention to teaching and practicing it in their lives. Their focus is mostly to hang around the teacher and hope for a miracle to happen.
Yeah, definitely. You can find tons of reviews on various sites (DP Review is great) and plenty of sample footage on YouTube.

I'd definitely suggest getting something with an external mic jack–getting good audio makes a big difference.
For those that don't know what 4/3 cameras are.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Thirds_system

The camera business had a new small interchangeable lens almost pocketable camera "standard". The micro 4/3 used sadly by only olympus and panasonic. When I travel to take pictures I take a canon 5D SLR and a much smaller olympus micro 4/3 with a wide angle zoom.

Why Canon/Nikon/Sony go their own way with incompatible small mirrorless cameras I have no idea. I would love more lens options for micro 4/3 and those big camera makers make great glass...
Looks to me like you're trying to figure out the conditional probability of L/R given a bunch of other factors, and you're looking to tune the model using historical data.

Your factors look to be both categorical and numeric. E.g. off-play and yard line. This given, I'd start by training a conditional inference tree with 60% of the data. Amongst other things it'll give you a good idea of how your factors are related to each other and which matter (ctree is not difficult to interpret). You can then use the other 40% to test how well your tree predicts. Then, you might try other in a more informed manner.

If the above paragraph made no sense it may be advisable to out-source the task. There's quite a lot to the modelling effort.
You may find the extended lore of the Elder Scrolls games, of all things, to be interesting in relation to this subject. There's a lot of philosophical prodding at the idea of "world and identity as illusion", and at the nature of characters in fiction, and the ways those two concepts interrelate.

You know, I've been having this conversation ever since PGP first came into existence. And much as I love the idea of encryption, and despite having invested lots of time in arguing for the right to encrypt and to share encryption algorithms etc. etc. I've always had to admit that if you're not a geek who loves computing for its own sake then encrypting all your email is a massive pain in the ass, whose costs substantially exceed the benefits for most people. Given that this argument has been going on for 20 years and that hardly anyone encrypts their emails on a daily basis, I'd say that the empirical evidence is that your solution, while clever, is Not Good because it doesn't meet people's actual needs.

Stop telling me why you like it and build something that's easy for other people to use. In your pursuit of technical excellence you are completely ignoring the importance of network effects on adoption and the disutility of standing out from the crowd by your use of super-solid encryption. Nobody wants to maintain a collection of public keys for every single person they know. No matter how bad things get politically there is not going to be a sudden mass awakening that will cause everyone to start using public key encryption for email, or we'd have already seen it take off like wildfire in politically repressive jurisdictions.

It's. Not. Going. To. Happen.
Engineers with skills related to self-driving car development are also currently much rarer than highly trained executives, and companies trying to get into the autonomous car sector need more engineers than executives. Failing to retain an executive simply isn't as much of a problem.
