> Does each stage of the model need to complete for the whole packet before moving on to the next stage?

Usually, not. Massive core switches could not work if they had to wait for every frame being fully in the buffer before beginning to transmit it to the correct out port. All a core switch needs to look at is the destination MAC address.

Simple math explains why: MTU (max packet size) is usually 1500 bytes (due to most packets originating in Ethernet systems). The dstmac in the Ethernet frame is bytes 9 through 16, which means it would be an absolute waste of time to wait with forward transmission until the remaining 1484 bytes are in the buffer.

Let's calculate this with your ordinary 100 MBit/s home connection (to keep the numbers in reasonable magnitudes). 100 MBit/s means: 0.00000001 s/bit (or 0.01 us/bit, or 0.08 us/byte). With retransmit start after the first 16 bytes, the delay introduced by the equipment is 1.28 us (and needs, basically, 9 bytes of buffering capacity from start of packet to end of packet). Waiting for the full 1500 bytes would introduce 120 us (or 0.12ms) of latency, as well as require 1500 bytes of buffer during the transmission time.

It's not a myth.

It's reasonably well established now that LGBT youth are at increased risk of suicide, and that the rates of death in LGBT youth are higher in areas that have lower acceptance of LGBT youth.

The rest of your post is full of inaccuracies about suicide. You need to read some more modern research. Here's a good place to start: http://research.bmh.manchester.ac.uk/cmhs

I tried to hold territory in Baghdad amongst people who couldn't even shoot straight and we were regular army not weekend warriors and it sucked. It was unpredictable and constantly dangerous.

That all gets paid for by unions, which The US is about to push out in the interest of "freedom".
When visiting the US, I was struck by how many elderly workers there were in restaurants, subways etc. Japan was similar. In Australia, I never see this.

Point 2 certainly won't be repeated for the next generation.

The two issues brought up (obstruction in cricket and the murder trial) say more about rules than they do about evidence.

In the cricket case, the problem seems to be that small differences in a player's reaction time can make the difference between acceptable and unacceptable actions. Why should it matter if the player intentionally blocked the ball? Justice is much more difficult when rules depend on precise subjective judgement.

The same is true of the murder case. Clearly the robbers committed a second degree murder. In the hypothetical cases, was the prosecution pushing for first degree murder instead? Why rely on precise subjective judgement?

This like trying to decide from a grainy photo whether a character is an 'A' or a '4'. It's an unavoidably difficult problem, but in the two cases above, we can change the rules to avoid it.

> For example, does A/D conversion take place until all of the packet information is converted, then the whole binary blob is enframed as a header and a packet

The "A/D stage" only gives off a stream of bytes, so something similar to a state machine will be used to separate it into packets that are then further processed.

That doesn't mean you have to wait for a whole packet to come through, though. E.g. a switch (or router) could start to forward the packet as soon as it sees the destination address.

> In other words, if a country raises tax rates on returns to capital, capital simply relocates somewhere else.

So, you need to tax value extraction as a condition of allowing firms to do business, ideally rebating that against taxes on locally-realized capital gains so that local capital owners aren't unfairly penalized compared to foreign extractors.

The University of Chicago study is interesting and covers nuances not really dealt with in the article (naturally): http://www.pnas.org/content/113/33/9250.full

with a summary here: https://newschicagobooth.uchicago.edu/newsroom/problem-slow-...

The key point neglected in the original article is that the jurors were being asked about intent and premeditation in the slow-mo study. My knee-jerk reaction when first reading this article was to assume that the jurors might have just been able to conquer reasonable doubt more with slo-mo, but the questions seemed well designed to isolate the fact that slo-mo is creating a false narrative (even when the viewers can see the real-time clock clicking over at a very slow rate).

It would be interesting to see whether viewers who got to see both clips would still have the same perception, and whether ordering matters.

Because it is a lot easier to tune and debug your model in Torch without diving into C/C++. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13428098

We may switch to pyTorch though, but Lua works rather well for now.
Decimal only takes care of a subset of cases. I.e. those where the source data nicely lines up in decimal. Good for finance (although I think Britain made a mistake when it gave up the old penny and the shilling). But even there, you sometimes have to divide by numbers like 12 and 365.

The point is NO representation is going to be idiot proof. So you just need to make a sufficient set of representations easy to use, and then try to teach the "idiots" what the underling issues are.

> 1) People straight up don't want to see ads. Ad blockers, Netflix, etc. are a natural response to this. If your medium relies on traditional ads, there's an increasingly large chance that your audience won't ever see those ads in the first place.

I think this is spot on. And some people are willing to pay. Another example of this is Youtubers and Patreon. Now, you can finally block ads without guilt and support those creators far more reliably. If the number of supporters dominates the ad revenue, it also encourages more quality and less quantity.

For me, this is also where Youtube Red failed. It isn't transparent enough and I couldn't care less about all the "value-add" they tried to staple onto it. I'd rather pay ~$20/month distributed among roughly 6 channels via Patreon. Although it would be really nice to have a way to automatically give a few cents go to videos I watched and enjoyed (by some opt-out metric, e.g. watched more than 30%, or didn't hit dislike, or wasn't autoplayed "next up").

> I'm in the humanities and certain scholars working with culture and technology love to make a huge deal about data leakage and how intertwined we all are precisely because you can put a NIC in promiscuous mode and cap packets that weren't meant for you.

For wired networks, a lot of those concerns about machines receiving other machines traffic are somewhat outdated–they were very valid in the 1980s and 1990s, but now in the 2010s they are far less pressing (although not completely gone). Back when we used coax Ethernet or Ethernet hubs, the norm was every machine got every other machine's traffic, and the machine's NIC was responsible for filtering out the traffic destined for other machines, so spying on other people's traffic was easy, and could be done without being detected. Now, with Ethernet switches, the norm is that each machine only gets its own traffic (plus broadcast traffic destined for all machines.) It is possible to overload a switch into a hub by MAC flooding, but in a well-maintained corporate network you can't get away with that for long without being caught. (A home network or small business network you probably can do it for a long time without being detected, since those networks are usually poorly monitored.)

So, in a contemporary well-maintained Ethernet network, it is unlikely your traffic is being sent to other people's machines. Of course, you shouldn't rely on that if you care about your security and privacy. But, encryption is far more common (and far stronger) nowadays, so even if you see someone else's traffic, you are much less likely to understand it. That is the best answer to the concern – who cares if someone else gets your traffic if they can't read it? (Well, if they save it for a few decades, computers might become fast enough to be able to break it – but, it is very unlikely anyone could be bothered.)

For wireless networks, these concerns are still very valid. The best advice with wireless networks, even secure ones, is always use a VPN.

Your line of thinking here really resonates with me. I'm building services on top of two bots right now that fit into this transactional "I want to do X in as little time as possible" category and I think Messenger bots are a fantastic way to achieve that.
I spent a few years working closely at a regional ad/P.R. firm in a smaller metro, and the game was to convince companies to spend because their competitors are spending. Although there might be good tools out there to measure results, it would only create more work for an ad staff that already has received buy-in from traditional advertisers. (Although that's changing now.) Disrupting that non-measurement disrupts the steady stream of, what is IMO, clueless revenue that's been F.U.D'd into an ad spend. I mean, F.U.D. was the business model half the time.

What you said is quite incorrect.

* The claim that cows have to be 'raped' to give milk is absurd. Milking cows is not rape. If you don't milk them they just about burst - have you seen their udders when they aren't milked?

* The claim that 'in nature' cows do something is also wrong: cows do not exist without humans and have never existed without humans. Cows are domesticated animals. They are biologically and physiologically distinct from any 'natural' animal, if such a thing really exists (everything everywhere has been affected by human activity). That's how artificial selection works.

Beef and dairy contribute to climate change, yes, but that wouldn't be a problem if they were priced correctly. If dairy and cattle farmers were required to pay off their externalities - i.e. to clean up after themselves and pay carbon taxes for all the methane - then beef and dairy would be priced such that it was consumed less, but still consumed, which is both healthier and better for the environment.

But the discussion is about human health, and the fact of the matter is that there's nothing wrong with it, for humans, in moderation.
Old books have been translated many times, new books compete with millions of other books and are easily overlooked, and have to compete with FB feeds and online articles.

Certainly in the UK, money earned abroad is taxed; this is normal, rather than unusual (like, say, in Thailand, where you're only taxed on money you then bring back to Thailand). Although you can do some dodgy dealing with Non-Domicile status, this puts a kink in any simple capital flight.
Along with that, you also have to know how to translate into a format that people actually want to read. You can translate a work into a different language, but you may lose the spirit of the work in the process by writing words that are technically a "correct" translation, but end up being very dry or boring to read, compared to the original work.

So, the law is actually more specific [1] than just three inches - it's obviously been written with the intent of permitting traditional swiss army knives, while banning essentially everything else. (Including leatherman tools due to their locking blades - and most kitchen knives, which don't fold)

I suspect someone measured their boyhood swiss army knife blade, determined that it was about 2.5 inches, and rounded up to the next whole number.

>UBI is a redistribution expense, that means, the government takes taxes from richer people, and distribute it to everybody.

It does not have to be. I take a Georgist view of the topic which when applied to UBI can create system based on Commons Rent.

Commons Rent would be fees on Natural Occurring Resources things like Extraction of Minerals, Forests, Fish. Fees on EM Spectrum (our current model of "selling" the EM Spectrum needs to end), geosynchronous orbits, air corridor usage (which can be very profitable in the coming age of Autonomous Drones). Pollution fees aka carbon taxes or other such fees.

Included in that would be Land Use Fees, and many other things not listed herein

It does not have to be a "take from rich, give to the poor" situation, it however does change the traditional attitude of natural resources as the marketable private property of the first person to discover them.
A commercial producer like the one listed is still selling pasteurized product. I do like to buy from a couple of small local producers when it's convenient but I'm not sure I could identify in a blind test.

Things like "free fiber" is thinking too small.

The "killer app" for making things cheaper is obvious.

Solve the housing crisis that effects every major city in the world, and you get rid of the biggest expense that humans pay.

It is not even that hard to solve from a technical perspective. Construction costs are pennies on the dollar, when compared to land costs.

The tough part is solving the political problem of convincing all the rich landowners to let us devalue their investment.

By definition, if we make housing cheap, we have destroyed the housing investment of a whole lot of really powerful people.
I absolutely disagree.

If you want to represent currency, for example, you should not use decimal floating point. You should integers, specifically you should use an integer number of tenths of cents, which is pretty widely agreed as the standard unit of currency in a computer (or tenths of yen, for example). You need to be extremely careful about overflow, but you need to be anyway, and should almost certainly just use arbitrary-precision integers.

All of my anecdotes on the matter are EU (possibly all BE/FR, not sure) vs UK, so it's possible UK and US pasteurised milk tastes different (I've had many lattes in America but can't remember ever drinking straight milk or over cereal there..)

Or it's possible my sample size was too small. Would be curious to know how many people feel which way, but somehow doubt there's any good data sets for that!
If you can live on $1500/month, you only need to save up $450K-$600K and live off the 3-4% real returns in perpetuity. This quantity of savings is easily reachable within a decade by tech workers paid $100K+/yr.

In general, just take (monthly spending) * 12 * [25 or 33] to get bounds on required savings. The only other useful observation is that reducing spending is much more effective for reaching financial independence than increasing earnings, and that most spending is staggeringly wasteful and easy to forgo.

Oh, and if you manage to find a life partner with the same values and earnings - congrats, you can easily retire within five years.
And either way, their man Pasteur seems to get no love.

Perhaps we can see it this way: in France, the dairy industry has long worked to produce high-quality milk products such as cheese -- delivering fresh milk to cities was thus less of a big deal.

I don't know why England should be different. Maybe because of country-folk during the industrial revolution coming to the big city at just about the same time as the British Empire fell in love with the kind of tea that goes well will milk.
Well, more the National Guard that's literally the same people as the armed rednecks in rural Texas. Keep in mind the National Guard are the "weekend warriors", only now many of them have months/years in actual combat zones and have returned to their home communities with those skills.

Not to mention this whole argument assumes the government isn't siding with the insurrection. Sounds like an odd point to make, but if there was a substantial redneck revolution, which side is Trump's government on? Who will be labeled the rebels?

It's incredibly risky to assume who is on which side of an actual civil war scale uprising. The chances of being wrong are very high, and the consequences are literally life and death.

Cows only create milk to feed their young. Cows only have young if they are inseminated. Thus dairy cows are kept in a perpetual cycle of breeding to produce young (which are taken from them early) so they produce milk.

Half the young are male and thus useless; they are killed. Half the young are female and kept to replenish the dairy herds.
