not really .. i believe it depends on what you really define as microservice. If we think at microservices as completely independent services that a change in them should not affect the system as a whole then i agree with you. However, very often, a microservice is independent but still tightly coupled in terms of logic with the rest of the ecosystem, so a change in that microservice out format for example will require other services that communicate with it to adapt to this change.
Well, if you rotate 180° its ok again, so it's either a 90° error or where the King/Queen are standing on the wrong board colour, sides of each other (e.g. Queen on right), or not facing their opposite piece (K facing K).

I'm fairly certain when I was a kid that I made all those mistakes when setting up the board.

>You need to reward innovators or you won't have innovation.

It's unfortunate that the "reward" needs to come in the form of a monopoly over an idea. The fact that ideas themselves are valuable is such a capitalistic thing.

I don't believe copyright or patents are justified enough; the idea that someone can force you not to implement a particular algorithm or not to share some data with your neighbor, I find it ridiculous.

I have no respect for "IP", and no respect for private property. Down with the monopolies over what we can say and make and share, and down with the state that protects it.
I would very much like to leave. :/
Gambling is entertainment, the same as going to see a movie or listening to music. You don't get anything in return other than what you experience going through it. I agree that comparing it to buying a physical product may not be the best metaphor, but I can understand where it's coming from.

In the end, it becomes a problem when it's no longer entertaining (just a game), but rather pathological.
I know some chords: A, Am, C, C7, D, D7, E, Em, G, G7

I can switch between those fairly fluidly.

Even Wild Thing has a solo part in the middle. A, D, and E really aren't enough, are they?

Can you name a few other real songs that you think are early beginner level?

> I don't understand how they can still go through with this.

Because there was a referendum where a majority decided it was what they wanted. The Government is hell bent on doing it for ideological reasons. The Opposition believe they are following the 'will of the people'. It's a shit state of affairs, but I don't see how it can be averted now, unless there is enough political pressure over the next two years to hold a referendum on the final deal.
The right kind of sand for making glass isn't found everywhere. In the UK, we have a particular problem that the only glass-suitable sand we have is not suitable for making clear glass, so we can only make coloured glass. All our clear glass is imported, mostly from France. However, most local recycling centres only have a "mixed colours" glass bin, so we can't even make our own recycled clear glass. And That's Why We Can't Have Nice Things (tm).
> they'll morph the iPhone to a AR device

...eventually, maybe; probably after someone else has first.

The technology backing this is the stuff that the kinect was based on, by PrimeSense; it's for 3d spatial scanning, and it's super cool tech, but it's no more 'AR' than the kinect was or the leap motion was; turns out that even if you have a point cloud, AR is still hard.

The sad thing is that there's no sign that Apple is actually building any kind of meaningful product with it.

Any kind of competitive advantage Apple might have as a company hinges on them actually building something novel and meaningful in this space.

I know they like to be all ninja and secret with their R&D, but you can't just hide in a closet for 6 months with a million dollars and pull out a strong AI; that sort of technological leap just doesn't happen very much any more, and certainly not without a lot of people noticing the massive amount of money it consumes to produce.
Never been to a Sheetz, I'm too far north, I suppose. There's no service window at Wawa, though. They prepare everything in plain sight behind a counter, which I'd consider a plus. And their mac n cheese sides are as addictive as cocaine.

> limit the license fees the patent holder can get

So your solution to some of the issues caused by government-granted monopolies is to impose price controls!?

And don't think that an across-the-board royalty cap would last longer than a year or two. Price controls would only empower a new horde of bureaucrats and rules that would adjust royalty caps based on industry and company.

In this future, a patent means something different to each entity and in each sector.

Government wants to stimulate growth in a certain sector? Bump up the patent royalty cap.

Big business with lots of lobbyists and jobs? Bump up their caps (or reduce the competition's), for the sake of the jobs, you know.
Hah, I like this.
Absolutely correct, more senses are definitely available to an AGI. In the context of building an AGI that possesses "like a human" implied or directly in the evaluation criteria, and the thesis that embodiment of senses is a prerequisite to fulfilling that criteria, we don't know whether or not more senses than human might thwart the development of the first AGI. We currently believe that more senses than "normal" tends to lead to neuro-atypical development like autism, so there is some evidence for caution against tossing in all the inputs we can imagine, based upon current thinking (I wonder if that thinking is based upon empirical fMRI scans). We do have the corpus of data built up by humans however, that says "no known cases in medical history of sapience failing to develop with this minimal set of senses".

My cursory search says hearing and sight are not necessary. Leaving us with smell, taste, and touch. Smell and taste are closely interlinked, so there is a possibility that a simulated smell-taste and touch are all that is required to "bootstrap" the first AGI, so to speak.

Your point recalls to mind the scene in Battlestar Galactica (the reboot) where Cavil fulminates "I don't want to be human". [1] I suspect once we boostrap the first AGI, you are absolutely correct, we will rapidly add more senses to the AGI's repertoire. But we only have one data point for a template to build AGI off of, ourselves, so I also suspect the first AGI will somewhat resemble us. If so, and if the embodiment principle is one of the right routes to take, then it makes sense to me to simulate what we empirically determine as the minimum sense set, and then expand from there. Walk before we run, so to speak.

It wouldn't hurt for someone investigating the embodiment principle to build for as many senses as they can envision, though. Many eyes, and all that, for attacking the problem space. I'm just expressing an uninformed gut feeling here, as I am not in the AI research space.

No, it's not about pessimism optimism. I some cultures (often, on the same country), people rate very high even if they have a moderately negative opinion because anything but the very highest available ratings is seen as saying "unacceptably bad", while in other cultures they tend to rate low even with a moderately positive opinion because high ratings are seen as, well, high praise.

It's not pessimism vs. optimism, it's that numeric ratings have no intrinsic, universal mapping to feelings, and cultures tend to map them differently.
> If we believe for the sake of argument that he is truly sorrowful and wants to turn over a new leaf, who are you to deny him this?

While personally I am in favor of these types of registries (ideally with quite a few changes), the argument is that if you are placed on a lifetime offender list, you can be as sorrowful as you want, you can never turn over a new leaf. You effectively have a life sentence even if you never had to step foot inside a jail cell.
You're missing the key point of my message.

It's not rational to expect fear to be an unbiased estimator of risk. If you regard fear as a motivation, then it would be irrational to ignore factors other than risk.

And that means that merely stating that things are not very risky is not a valid basis for concluding that it is irrational to fear them.

If the Conservatives don't go ahead with it then they risk their supporters leaving to UKIP, and a government formed by 52% of the population voting for the only party that will fulfil the results of the referendum.

Even a 15% swing from Conservative to UKIP would destroy most of the party, due to the awfulness of the FPTP voting system.

And the Conservative leadership won't risk that.
I'm gonna go against the grain here. I'll preface this by saying that I think all sex-offender cases should be handled on a case-by-case basis, and if we use a bit of common sense, things would be a lot better for everyone. Here's a scenario that is likely rare but plausible.

Some girl and boy both at age 15 could be sexting each other. Pics are exchanged, and the pictures are removed from the phone and placed on a computer hard drive. Neither party wants the pics found, so the classic, "bury the pics 10 levels deep in a made up directory that looks like a legit folder hierarchy" is used. A week later, the pics are forgotten about.

Fast forward 5 years. The hard drive crashes. The once teen has a few sporadic backups, but they haven't been regular. They go to a data recovery business. "I'm mainly concerned with the pictures and a lot of the text documents. Try to salvage as many of those as possible. Everything else is whatever."

The business gets to work and applies a could of filters to list of recovered media. Among the media exists 10 or so pictures of a young teen. He received them when he was 15, and he forgot about them. He had no intention of ever looking at them again. Hell, he would have deleted them ages ago had he thought about it, but now he has a hell of a story to explain to the feds.

I don't think teens should be prosecuted as sex offenders for exchanging pics of themselves with other teens, but I think the heart of the matter is in the right place. I don't have a solution to magically fix everything, because there are always going to be implications. Just don't ruins a kid's life for the truly innocuous mistake of exploring sexuality with someone of the same age.
I am really sorry to hear about your accident. I too started doing some DIY project around the home and I am working on a small indoor garden now. I can relate to your feeling. I too gave gained a lot of weight, now I am reducing it. I am getting sick of sitting for long. Plus, I am want to touch and feel the things i work on.

Since you are trained as an electrician, I have a suggestion which you might enjoy. Why don't you try microsoldering? I show a nice [article](https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/watch-the-master-...), there is also a video related to it. That is a job you can do sitting down. The lady doing it was biologist by training. Don't give up.
similar to this have you checked out https://www.zenhub.io .. those guys built an agile board on top of Github where you can have a PR and then link that PR to various issues.

However, something i see that can be done with the current script is to automate the process of opening a PR that cross multiple repos. A command that similar to `git flow` will flip various branches in various repos that match maybe a certain regex .. and then allow user to input the PR details (maybe based on a PR template as well) and then submit those to Github. On success, it will again add comment on each PR with a link to the other issues so that you have the Github issue reference link in there.

I am not yet sure if that is feasible but it seems an interesting thing to do and worth looking at
But then: why the color coding?
The basic principle is 'most of the people can be manipulated', and it is a fight for who will manipulate those people. During internet era, we have seen a lot of examples of this in many levels, fake ads, celebrities endorsing products, bloggers reviewing products that they got for free, fake poll results, Those stuff we can only fight with by educating people, and it is not so easy, cause also manipulators are getting smarter.
>The worst case would be that everybody saves huge amounts of money on their own, not touching it, for the case of a catastrophic event. If the catastrophe doesn't happen, or not as bad as feared, you wasted money.

How is the money wasted if you still have it saved?

Rather, it would have been wasted if you gave it to the insurance company instead of saving it yourself.
Absolutely. But that's the problem with a republic too. And frankly anything that's not a direct democracy, of which there are none in the world.
Some people enjoy playing games and think they are good enough to wager money for it. It's not unreasonable for people to go to Vegas or Atlantic City with a disposable cash budget of how much they can gamble away. You just factor it into the cost of the vacation. It's entertainment, losing sucks but it's always fun to win even if you are still down from what you started with.

For some people, luxury cars are a waste of money. Everyone has their own priorities on what is important to spend their money on. Some people like expensive cars and spend their money on it. Some people just want something that won't break down and can get them to work so they can spend their money on whatever hobby they really like.

If you take the example of something like a Crittall steel-framed single-glazed window, a classic of the 1930s, there's just no way to fit double-glazing into the frames without destroying the appearance. The problem of thermal bridging (the metal conducts heat straight through) is also difficult to solve without thickening the frames. Maybe future technology will solve these problems. It seems more likely that the appearance of those buildings will take a hit due to the urgency of saving energy.
Right. But it's the second half of the business strategy that I outlined above that's key to the discussion, ie the idea that paying billions of dollars for market share in this field makes sense. That's literally crazy, the network effect and lock-in at scale is really modest at best.

Sure the more cars you have the better the service can be, but it's trivially easy for a competitor to come along at any time and attack your most profitable market segment in a given city, and trivially easy for any customer to switch as easily as clicking on a different app and glancing at the estimated time and price. That's going to be true forever, this isn't a market that will ever have a defensible monopoly position.

Investing some amount to hedge in self-driving cars could conceivably be defensible, but looking at what's going on it feels like that's more of an rationalization for their present behavior.

They've been lighting money on fire subsidizing rides for a few years, and have hunted around for a plausible excuse. One is the "pool" functions, as that has a slightly more plausible network effect story, and the other is self-driving cars.

Both appear to be post-hoc rationalizations designed to provide some plausible story for why they need to borrow another couple billion dollars.

I think this question applies to all applications of machine learning. PR pieces love to label every application of ML to a novel field as "artificial intelligence," even when the predictions are simple enough to be predicted by statistical regression (and in many cases that's effectively what is happening).

So yes, many applications of ML are something "a regular data science team could do." However, isn't the main benefit of ML removing the need for a team of data scientists? Of course you will need some data scientists / ML engineers to support the ML product itself, but ultimately the gains will be realized from the ML doing the work that traditionally required a team of data scientists.
Politics. Pride and stupidity are better names for it though.

The two objectives the government are aiming to please "the will of the people" with are limiting immigration from the EU and to regain sovereignty.

The deceit is that immigration provides more benefits to the UK than costs (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2014/nov/05/eu-migrants-...) and our parliament is already sovereign (the ironic proof being that they're the ones deciding we're leaving the EU).
Deciding what "brexit" means would be a start.

I understand why people voted on the referendum, and I was following that live as well. But back then people were less informed. But now, months later, people are (/should be) much better informed about all the bad consequences that come out of this. So while I might understand why politicians go through with this, what I don't understand is why people don't change their minds and put pressure on the politicians to stop this shit deal. Because really, I don't believe Europe will give them anything nice they are hoping for. The UK politicians even admit that they didn't do any financial forecast, and that the probability is very high they won't get any deal... This stuff really blows my mind...

The whole point of the registry is that it's supposed to contain only people that are perpetually dangerous; if it doesn't and you need to go to case notes to find that, then both the burdens placed on people for permanent registration and the consequences of being on the registry (which go beyond just being findable as a sex offender) and the existence of the registry itself are unjustified.
