It seems like about two semesters' worth of material in here, so 3 hours classroom time + 7 hours homework/self-study time, for 36 weeks, would give 360 hours. 900 pages divided by 360 hours is 2.5 pages per hour, a rather reasonable rate for study (this is not as dense as an academic paper).

This covers intro to proofs, mathematical logic, number theory, graph theory, combinatorics, and probability. In a typical undergrad math curriculum, these would be five or six different courses. So if you have a two-semester course or self-study covering this 900-page textbook, it's probably more efficient than learning the material in the math department by a factor of 2.5:1 or 3:1.

Yes, stuff's been cut. This is more of a survey of these fields with the emphasis on the most important points, and informing you of the most basic parts. So if you encounter one of the more specialized problems that might have been covered in a more specialized course, you'll have hints on where to look, what to Google for, and what sort of reasoning to use.
In particular, I'd venture that well adjusted high-IQ people are less likely to join a high-IQ society than more alienated people.
To be fair, when memory, processor speed, and battery life are not an issue, Electron apps are usually good enough. That said, I always cringe when I have to use them on a laptop, no matter the OS.
The easy version is to just say "copyright monopoly"; everyone knows a monopoly is bad, and by mentioning it you automatically create an association. The fact that such an association doesn't necessarily exist (http://www.copyhype.com/2013/01/three-reasons-copyright-is-n...) is irrelevant, since most people don't reason logically anyway, and of course there are arguments for why there is in fact a monopoly (http://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2014/08/08/copyright-monopol..., e.g. lack of advertising access).
You can be more friendlier and intuitive with the text design - I went to projects mistyped 1 the first time (used "a") and then tried 1 again and it seems to have put me back at the base level.

If you can make the text interface as easy to noobs as point and click you will make a good statement.

Relax, Buffet is a good man. Anybody who has followed his life knows he is a good person overall and that he likes to joke even in the most inappropriate moments.

Buffet if yes he has a responsibility to be political towards the public he's not a politician himself and if he makes inappropriate comments once in a while, so be it.

I think we should go down of our cloud of righteousness and learn to laugh of ourselves once in a while.

To be fair, the author does acknowledge that:

> Oleson is quick to point out that the results presented in his book should be seen as preliminary rather than conclusive, especially considering how rare his subjects are. Another issue is that the bulk of his gifted cohort was recruited from a private high-IQ society, and people who join such clubs might not represent highly intelligent people in general.
Congrats to both teams. As a side note, last summer my startup joined Angelpad's accelerator program.. during that time I reached out to @alexsalazar with a laundry list of questions about B2D sales strategy and how he was thinking about the difference and similarities to a traditional b2b sales team structure. He was incredibly supportive and willing to share knowledge and his experience! Thanks again Alex!

I'm not familiar with those at all, I can only speak to the two I spoke of.

But it's a bit strange for an ISP to develop its own hardware, and ddos prevention has nothing to do with system management or cloud hosting feature sets. Furthermore, those two are the least mature, slowest, tiniest, and most limited providers in the shootout on every metric except perhaps network performance in France.

· Multi-platform marketing

· Slackbot for sales teams

> Smart, but not exactly Hannibal Lecter

H.L. is a fictional character with IQ 200, and Einstein is only 160, so who would qualify as an "Hannibal Lecter" for you? If the average is 149 and the group is spread in a gaussian curve with exactly one Einstein, then the dumb guy of the group will be 138.

Which is under 1% of the population, especially in US where the average IQ is 98. So the first 3 paragraphs of your criticism are well-reasoned, but I wonder why you feel the need to down-play the smartness of that group with your first and last sentence.
And one could say it was too early. Under the hood, generics are pretty bad in Java [0]. Type information is mostly lost; it's a compiler time only feature. They're much better implemented in C#, even if they look the same on the surface, probably because it came later and they took it seriously.

So I applaud the Go architects with being conservative about it. More languages should take their time thinking about implementing features, no matter how needed they seem to be initially. You only get one chance, and then if it's a bad choice you live with the consequences.

That depends on how involved humanity is in cultivating that atmosphere. There have been proposals to, for example, redirect comets/near-Mars objects that are icy/have oxygen or other desirable materials to burn up in the Martian atmosphere, adding to it. There are likely other ways we can affect the atmosphere.

From a terraforming standpoint, a viable, long-term magnetosphere is necessary in the medium and long term. In the short term, humans would be stuck in shielded suits and indoors, both to protect from radiation and to ensure a breathable atmosphere.
It supports closures and higher order functions. The sample code doesn't show any of it.

I remember buying a Playstation2 light-gun as the console was already in its "sunset period" and when i got home i found out it wouldn't work on my TV. My TV was a late CRT model before flat screen LCD took-over and this particular CRT had 100Hz refresh rate.
> It's really hard to predict that stuff. People thought original Xbox emulation would be easy, since it was "essentially a PC", but it's the only console of that generation that still doesn't have a good emulator.

Probably a matter of demand, too, since it's got very few decent games that aren't 1) available on another console, or 2) available as an (often superior) PC port
There's a radiolab episode (not the best source, but not the worst either) about how most people seriously consider murder at least once in their life.
Quite promising: clean-looking syntax, little overhead, portability seem to be driving motivations. Especially the following feature could promise adoption and momentum:

dynamic typing (not a fan myself, but for scripting: OK --- would be great if all such languages had a statically&strong-typed option --- after all the compiler/JIT needs to guess/work much less)
higher order functions and classes
coroutines (via fibers)
closures
garbage collection
operator overriding
powerful embedding api

Very neat-sounding. Will have to keep watch. Not as low-level as Go (can become wordy!), not as "foreign" initially as Rust (what, no GC, borrowing, a borrow checker, what?), not (yet!) as "haphazard" as... the majority of shell-scripting/server-scripting/client/web-scripting approaches.
At least complicated Scala code is very in-your-face about how complicated it is, as opposed to C.

The types also make it hard to change one small thing and make everything go wrong. Sure, the standard library source looks like a trainwreck, but it has structural strength. And it's easy to use.
No, they aren't. They are extracting a quote from a source that seems directly related to what you search for. The only difference between this and a regular search result is that it comes in a grey box, and the text is extracted via deep learning rather than pulling the first sentence or some html metatags.

Interpreting a grey box as "truth" is entirely on you.
EZDrummer, and the other examples are a different beast. Those are sample based drum plugins. They are made to sound like real acoustic drums. They are great and wonderful.

This is a pastern based drum machine for non-acoustic sounding drums (Usually). So you are comparing two different tools.
I don't like them either, so you're not alone. Nor do I like comments as compiler directives. Go needs a proper attribute syntax that works with the package system (so attributes don't collide) and can be applied to everything, including struct fields.

I got 'talked into' moving a chunk of money out of a current account into a combination of investment ISAs and Personal Investment Plans with Scottish Widows. Over 5 years they have increased in value by about 35%, so average 7% per year. Here is one of the ones I used:

http://webfund6.financialexpress.net/clientsv21/scottishwido...

I went in knowing nothing, and wouldn't have done it if my bank hadn't pushed me in that direction (the department of the bank no longer exists) and I guess I got lucky, as it has worked out well for me.

PLEASE NOTE: investment ISAs/Personal Investment Plans with Scottish Widows can go up and down. Also bear in mind I an openly saying I know next to nothing about this, so please don't jump into anything without researching it carefully.
often 'brilliance' is conferred upon by peers, not by absolute merit. Nobel Prize is mostly luck...many others are equally smart and talented but only a handful of people can win. Using awards and public adulation as criteria for intelligence and brilliance is insufficient.
Indeed the "title" of the original page is misleading (because the original bug submitter thought it was one issue, but was really another).

And that has had the effect that most of the conversation in this thread is about gTLDs instead of HSTS redirects, when the bug has nothing to do with the former (as noted by the comments where they specifically say that this does not happen to other gTLDs)
Hey, I would like to know these things too! It would be helpful for my future researches as well.
Human vision works well because our brain has an incredible quantity of priors to guide it, that is similar past experiences that explain most of what we are seeing. When your eyes see something, only a small amount of information is passed to your brain (like motion, for example). Your brain "fills up" the missing pieces with what he's used to. That's why we don't see the blind spot created by our optical nerve entrance in the eye and often miss things that are hiding in plain sight without motion.

Illusions are due to the deception of our vision priors. Our brain expects something, makes you see something this way, but it's not what is happening in reality (maybe because it was engineered to deceive those expectations, as the images in this thread link). This is because the mental model we have of a standard "sight" doesn't model well those examples, our brain was not trained to work this out, I guess because it has no advantages in doing so (in terms of evolution or learning as a kid). Our brain is only trained to extract information efficiently on "plausible images" (lit by sun-like light, taken on the earth, etc.), you can't feed it random noise or it will try to explain it with things it knows (which is called Pareidolia).

In machine learning vision, we re-learn, usually from scratch (or fine-tune), at each experiment. This generates (or modify) the priors learned. Think of the priors as the "default(s)" image (in terms of complex internal representation, not in terms of pixels) that helps you think about the problem at hand. If you have a motion detection/tracking problem, this optimal default information representation will be different from the default information most useful for classifying or segmenting.

What I want to say with those examples is that machine learning computer vision is prone to illusions, that is images that defeat (are too far away, or not well explained by) its internal representation space and/or default representation. Also, each algorithm (let it be neural networks, SVM, or anything, really) has a different internal representation, so different images will be illusions for them. An illusion for one model won't necessarily be an illusion for another one.

The thing is, we are far from mastering advanced machine learning, in the sense that we don't have optimality proofs for capacity, architecture and filters on deep neural networks for a given task, for example. There's a lot of recent research on those illusions--for example, adversarial examples or networks. It seems to indicate that those illusions are far from human vision illusions and seems to be due to the mathematical nature of machine learning, for example adding small noise (sometimes with a lower magnitude than the smallest representable value by standard images formats!) to a correctly classified image can result in a wrong and very certain prediction. The most proeminent viral example of this on the internet was the school bus becoming with high certainty an ostrich after some small noise was added to the image. Other examples can be found in the introduction of [1].

I see plenty of comments here about how LCDs will have to be the replacement, but there's a big issue about LCDs as replacements for CRTs (bar specialty ones being made):

The fact that most of the 80s arcade monitors were 4:3 ratio.

Sure - you can get 4:3 ratio LCD monitors today - but they are becoming harder to find. Furthermore, good luck finding them in a larger size than about 17 inches (19 inches, maybe). They never made them larger, from what I remember. The larger LCD screens were all widescreen (16:9?) - and still are. Even most of the smaller LCDs are wide format.

And you can't just stick a wide format LCD into an arcade cabinet and add "borders" - because there likely isn't room. So at best, you'll get an LCD stuck in, with a matte board around it, and the display smaller than the original. It'll look like crap, to be honest - and that's before the look of the display on LCD vs CRT...

Maybe more appropriate even than the node "cluster" in this demo is https://github.com/xk/node-threads-a-gogo

> Why threads ?

> 4.- The threads of a process share exactly the same address space, that of the process they belong to. Every thread can access every memory address within the process' address space. This is a very appropriate setup when the threads are actually part of the same job and are actively and closely cooperating with each other. Passing a reference to a chunk of data via a pointer is many orders of magnitude faster than transferring a copy of the data via IPC.
