From previous recaptcha discussion[1] it seems like the going rate for solving recaptcha's is $2 for 1000 solved, or as low as $1/1000. This method would actually be more expensive than that at $6/1000[2]

You/I/Anybody can not change the license retrocatively. It means that current source code is MIT and it always will be. I/Anybody might fork the engine under different license or even close source it, but that won't change the fact that current source code is still MIT licensed. Me close-sourcing it is the same as me abandoning it - you can still continue using/developing it under any license you wish.
Seems that extension is involved: http://imgur.com/a/HLpLf
Feel free to get in touch for more Q/A, my email is in my profile.

We've experimented a bunch with many of these hyperparameters. Our phoneme signal has mostly stayed 256 Hz, but we've done a few experiments with lower-frequency signals that indicate it's probably possible to reduce it.

We have used many types of upsampling, and find that the upsampling and conditioning procedure does not affect the quality of the audio itself, but does affect the frequency of pronunciation mistakes. We used bicubic and bilinear interpolation based upsampling, as well as transposed convolutions and a variety of other simpler convolutions (for example, per-channel transposed convolutions). These tend to work and converge, but then generate pronunciation mistakes on difficult phonemes. A full transposed convolution upsampling (two transposed convolution layers with stride 8 each) works almost as well as our bidirectional QRNNs, but it's much, much, more expensive in terms of compute and parameters, and takes longer to train as well.

As noted in the paper, we used many of the original features used for WaveNet before reducing our feature set. F0 is definitely important for proper intonation. We find that including the surrounding phonemes is quite important; with the bidirectional QRNN upsampling, leaving those out still works, but not nearly as well. It seems likely that a different conditioning network would remove the need for those "context" phonemes.

We have not yet used an encoder-decoder approach for duration or F0. Char2Wav has a bunch of interesting ideas, and it may be a direction for our future work. However, we do not plan on including the grapheme-to-phoneme model into our main model, because it's crucial that we easily affect the pronunciation of phonemes with a phoneme dictionary; by having an explicit grapheme-to-phoneme step, we can easily set the pronunciation for unseen words (like "P!nk" or "Worcestershire"; an integrated grapheme-to-phoneme model would not be able to do those, even humans usually cannot!).

We have not yet worked with speaker global conditioning, but it is likely that the results from the WaveNet paper apply to our WaveNet implementation as well.

Finally, as for sampling, we have not seen much variation due to random seed for a fully converged model. However, our intuition for why sampling is important is that the speech distribution is (a) multimodal and (b) biased towards silence. If you are interested, you can gain a little bit of intuition about what the distribution actually looks like by just plotting a color map across time, with high-probability values being bright and low probability values being dark; it generates a pretty plot, and you can see that some areas are clearly stochastic (especially fricatives) and some areas are multimodal (vowel wave peaks).

From a systems perspective, spillways are part of what constitutes 'the dam.' Systems perspectives form the basis for life-safety decisions. The definition of 'is' in 'What is a dam' might make for interesting legal arguments, but the spillway and the bedrock and the water are all part of the operational definition of a dam.
It was more that they don't show up when toggling the 'remote' setting, but up to you.
I honestly don't really care about a browser or NetFlix, because I've never used NetFlix with our Wii U. The two things that have disappointed me about the Wii U have been:
* Lack of games
* Reliability

Reliability especially...the drive has pretty much stopped reading any discs, even when there aren't any scratches. The console randomly stops with a fatal error. I don't really want to pay to get it fixed, since new consoles are coming out and there isn't a huge catalog for the Wii U.
I believe it's more for the fund than for their particular investments.

I wonder if a finger blood oxygen meter ($20 on Amazon [1]) is a good tool to diagnose that you might be having a heart attack. It's easy to carry one with you. I am not a doctor, and Googling for it isn't turning up much useful, but it'd seem logical that during a heart attack your blood oxygen would be abnormally low? Perhaps someone in the know can comment?

I wonder all the time why we don't have more widely available, "consumer grade" tech like handheld ECGs, etc., to help better detect stuff like this. (There are products like this, but not in U.S. markets to my understanding - at least not without a prescription)

If you're unfortunate enough to suffer from something like anxiety attacks and also have heart trouble in your family's medical history it is very difficult (and expensive) to ascertain if you're having a panic attack or an actual cardiac episode.
IDEA is pretty awesome with JavaScript too. The best IDE I have seen even for dynamic languages.
I've skipped all the Nintendo consoles since the GameCube, in part because I didn't care for odd controls (I just want to play Mario/Zelda/Metroid with a regular gamepad!), and in part because as a result of those odd controls backward compatibility isn't too great either.

The Switch, however, will be the first console I'll buy. I'm not too happy with the low specs, but it's somewhat justified by the portability. And if Nintendo does what I hope they'll do, I'll be able to play a whole bunch of older and indie games now that there's a normal controller as a default (portable Metroid Prime!?!).

Unfortunately I don't quite trust Nintendo to be sensible, so I'll have to wait and see what happens first. I'm very tempted to get a second-hand Wii U so I can play Zelda and go through my unplayed first-party back-log, though.

I only dabbled a few times in Scala, but I do regularly use C++ on some side projects.

Do Scala compilation times get measured in hours?

Disney Studios uses Azkaban because it's language agnostic, and it believes that in the data space there is a huge advantage to static (and strong, but that's beside the point in this argument) typing in the data space.

The language agnostic aspect means that non software engineers can also use the orchestration platform for runbook automation.

Sometimes a high BP is just a reaction to someone measuring your BP. One side effect of a high BP is that you hear the thumping sound of your blood pulsing.

I personally have my heart rate and blood pressure explode whenever anyone tries to measure them. So I was referred to a cardiologist who did some basic checks like an echo, found nothing wrong and wired me up to a device that measures BP continuously for 24h. My BP was perfectly normal.

> you wrote essentially the same comment

.. on the same topic regarding dark matter. Is there a "no duplicate comments" rule? Topics are often cyclic on HN, I don't see why an answer has to change for the same recurring topic.

I'm afraid I don't know much about CDM or sparticles or Ricci scalars.

My comment isn't intended to be a self-contained proof of my inclination here. It is simply intended as a "this is my feeling or belief on this matter absent any further exploration " e.g. I am not an expert.

I agree my statement doesn't contain much information, again it's just an uneducated feeling/guess.

So sure, I get that there's more to the story regarding the nuance between particles and fields than I hinted at. Your clarification of the differences shows that.

I also suspect you have a deeper understanding on the relationship between the two perspectives than most.. so comments like mine aren't as such addressed to folks with your background but rather to folks who don't have such a background and seem to omit the "field picture" in lay discussions.
That's not really accurate.

First, PCs were extremely expensive at the time compared to the SNES. Your desktop likely cost $2000 or more I'm guessing.

Second, the graphics co-processors for rendering sprites and tiles in the SNES where much more interesting than what you'd get on a computer of the time.

Commander Keen was the most advanced PC scrolling game back then and it used a severely restricted colour palette compared to the SNES.

Why is it a free speech issue for Eich to make a donation but not for OKC to choose not to associate with his organization? I fail to see the distinction, especially since the right to free association is closely linked to free speech. This argument has never made any sense to me. Eich's actions were protected from retaliation by the government; if you argue that the same must hold true for private individuals and organizations then you're really saying some speech needs to be more protected than others. How do we draw those lines?
They've recently hired a bunch of senior CIO type people and created a "senior fellowship program", Carsten Stendevad, the former head of the Danish pension fund ATP is the most recent hire.

Also there is no one direct person in charge anymore according to Reuters...

> Dalio is being replaced as CEO by David McCormick, president of Bridgewater for the last eight years. McCormick will serve along side co-CEO Eileen Murray.

So for those of you keeping score he's tried replacing himself with a hand picked successor, and then a computer program and now he's assembling a collective to replace himself and he's making sure there is no one person in charge of the firm.

If I wanted to resign but couldn't bear the thought of someone replacing me, this is almost exactly how I'd setup the firm for my retirement too:)

I guess the clock is running on his return based on this quote from a letter he just wrote......

> “As I love markets, I’m excited about this change and expect to remain a professional investor at Bridgewater until I die or until those running Bridgewater don’t want me anymore,” Dalio said.
It appears that the Uber fare cuts do directly affect what drivers are paid.

"Lower fares mean that drivers make less per ride. Uber said lower fares will attract more riders, which should increase the number of trips per hour. 'We care deeply about driver earnings,' Macdonald said. 'We actually find that a lot of drivers understand why we do this. They’ve been through price cuts before.'"[1]

So, they try to explain it away by saying the drivers will get more rides, but pretty clear that Uber concedes it's less money per ride.

I'd imagine there's another element to it, probably ratio of that versus what they'd define as "regular use."
The question then becomes is the necessity of having a twitter account "part of being an adult"? I'm not saying the harassment is right, mind you, and certainly doxxing and real physical threats should be treated as the criminal acts that they are, but I don't think it's something that can ever really be remedied unless the victim removes themselves from the situation.

As I see it there is a sort of give and take relationship with inherently public social media like twitter. Your comments and thoughts are presented to a wide audience, but that inherently subjects you to possible dissenting opinions or harassment from that audience. The alternative is to, say, create a personal blog. You could write your opinions all day there and nobody will judge them or attack you for them, because without a lot of effort in SEO and marketing, nobody will ever see them.

Most people oppose bullying in school because kids "have" to go to school, so in a sense they're forced into the environment and should not be subject to attacks there. But who is forcing you to be on twitter?

What about progressive taxation? Someone at double the poverty line might pay 10% and someone making $10 million might pay 60%.
I'm not sure that analogy works because an unmaintained Netflix isn't a blinking eyesore like an unset digital clock. I setup Netflix on my PC and on my tablet which casts to my TV. Other devices, like my Xbox or my TV itself, are no worse for having never been setup with Netflix.
Similar thing happened with my grandfather. He was a great athlete, was the varsity quarterback for a division 1 school, and was on the varsity basketball and baseball teams. He had his first heart attack at 27. He was lucky, though. Managed to live another 50 years with serious heart disease.

A lot of people equate a heart attack with cardiac arrest, where the heart actually stops pumping blood and the patient suddenly collapses, but in reality, a heart attack refers to a complete blockage of blood flow to part of the heart, and is sometimes colloquially to refer to inadequate blood flow (the term is never really used clinically).

Also, heart attacks can present very differently in different people. A large number of people (especially women) have atypical presentations that may not include the classic sub-sternal chest pain, so the symptoms often get ignored or missed.
First job out of high school was working in a department store. One of the sales guys I worked with was Keith. He smoked, liked to drink and go to Disney World.

After returning from a Disney World trip, he told me how he spent most of it on the hotel room floor because he 'threw his back out' and had general chest pain. Nothing excruciating, just annoying enough that he wasn't up for hours of walking. His friends told him to go the doctor, but he blew it off and said he was feeling better.

The next day he died in the store, behind the register, before we opened, from a heart attack. He was 36.

Last year I went to an urgent care because of chest and back pain. They sent me on to the ER after an EKG showed an abnormal rhythm. Turns out I hit the rowing machine too hard the day before and had a massive case of indigestion from Mexican food at lunch.

I felt silly, but really everyone that I dealt with was cool about it. I'm lucky enough to have insurance that covered it all, and I'm happy that it wasn't a heart attack.

I don't know if there's a moral to this story, just that... shit, you never know when your day is coming, and I still have a lot to do before it happens.
I'd totally buy a Switch....if it was actually humanly possible. I also wanted to by a NES Classic, which also proved impossible. Solved that problem with a Raspberry PI. I loathe Nintendo's idiotic business practices of artificially limiting supply when there's huge demand. They have something like 2 million Switches for the launch window. 2. Million.
