Yes, they could do better as far as content, what worries me about your post is your statement "completely ignore" seems to differ from reality.
ZeroNet doesn't use the torrent protocol for distributing files. It uses its own file service that is exposed via a port to receive file requests and send files. It uses torrent trackers for mapping ZeroNet site addresses to IP or Onion addresses.
My understanding from the article is that Apple might be able to refuse service if they were to look at the device and determine the problem is caused by the 3rd party sensor. What they can't do however is totally refuse service based _solely_ on the fact that a 3rd party repair happened at all.
There was a time (PWB Research Unix) when one typed:

Regularly? No, but I got https://github.com/oconnor0/build-your-own-editor to the point that I use it for small editing tasks or occasional remote work. I have a few commits that were done entirely in it. I don't think I'd use it over vi except that I wrote it and want to use it. It also has keybindings far closer to what I'm used to in Sublime Text 3.
I'm having difficulty picturing anything we could manufacture on Mars that would be cheaper vs terrestrial manufacturing.

It's pretty much Backtracking as a language. So stuff like N Queens, Einstein's Puzzle (the Englishman lives in the red house, the Swede in the blue house, etc.) and so on. Any time you want to write down the rules of a discrete system and ask questions about the properties of that system, Prolog is a great way to do it.

One practical application: it's very easy to write the logic for a network firewall in Prolog.

One nice thing about ride sharing is that it can make a somewhat sparse public transit great. I frequently will take a Lyft to a nearby train stop and then go downtown from there. The entire thing still takes ~20m to get downtown. It's a third to a quarter of the price of taking Lyft all the way
ZeroNet doesn't use the torrent protocol for distributing file. It uses its own TCP service for that so avoids the issues of tunnelling UDP over TCP. Its use of "bittorrent" technology is limited to the protocol for mapping ZeroNet site addresses to IP/Onion addresses.

Competition and Goodhart's Law in High Schools
I am quite happy to see this. Although I am saddened by the death of the Ubuntu phone, this means that GNOME will get a lot more development and will receive the love and care of Canonical's excellent design teams. Gnome 3 is already shaping up to be quite a marvel, I am very excited about what will come next.

Furthermore, even if the dream of a free as in freedom Linux phone is pushed down a bit down the future, I think that a joint community/Canonical/Red Hat effort will eventually materialize.

P.S. I hope for a return to the brown and orange theme too!
No question ride-hailing has a net plus impact on reducing drunk driving. Though, it only works for the most fortunate of us (1) who live in urban areas (2).
Also, let's not forget that the most important driver to prevent drunk driving in the United States, is the severity (or extremism) of DUI laws. As a matter of fact, punishments for such infractions are so extreme that they achieve deterrence not by fear of punishment, but fear of unfair punishment.

I've never used Fedora. As an aside, I find ArchLinux to be a much more stable bleeding-edge distro, and Ubuntu LTS to be a better stable distro.

I just found some of the most obvious examples online of "linux is not about choice". But that's also the response to systemd becoming a hard dependency in most distros, because Gnome components have dependencies on systemd components. And it's the response when systemd made it harder to have /usr on a separate partition. https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/separate-usr-i... And it's the response when systemd pulled in the udev tree and then started requiring devtmpfs for udev. And it's the response when you put "debug" on your kernel command line and systemd sees it and spews so much debugging output into kmsg during bootup it overloads the kernel (eventually they backed down and fixed it). And it's the response when GTK+3 3.1x made client-side decorations unconditionally enabled, breaking some window managers (eventually they backed down and fixed it). etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. They just love making life difficult for everyone else and justifying it with "linux is not about choice".

... but that's all besides the point. My point is, I agree with you: if you don't like it you can always choose to fork it (unlike Windows or macOS or a proprietary Unix). That's what Mate did. That's because linux is about choice. The philosophical opposition to that is what is wrong.
Other search algorithms can take up lots of memory to store progress they've made down different paths. Having only one active state also lets you map unification down to efficient low level cpu operations. If you have multiple states, you either have to copy lots of data when you fork the state or you use a persistent data structure but can't use side effects, so everything is a bit slower.

It's a tradeoff though. I work on miniKanren, which is a logic programming language with a complete search that doesn't hit the nontermination issues you mention. The complete search lets us do some pretty cool stuff with program synthesis (though we're not about to put any programmers out of business just yet): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=er_lLvkklsk

Note that you can implement iterative deepening depth first search on top of prolog if you want a complete search there. Iterative deepening takes a little more time but avoids the memory problems with breath-first. SWI has tools built in to help there: http://www.swi-prolog.org/pldoc/doc_for?object=call_with_dep...
And I believe Ciao implements its iterative deepening library with a meta-interpreter: https://ciao-lang.org/docs/ciao/id_doc.html#0

That is a more realistic view of manufacturing in space. Robots? Sure. I don't see "millions of people" doing that though.

And so far I've not heard of what or where they'll be mining. I've heard of getting water from comets but that's not really a profit maker either (unless maybe you make liqueur with it) so unless you've spotted one nearby made of precious metal I'm still not seeing the motivation for this.
I observe this is true with my 21 year old son who is in college. After a few drinks and dancing downtown, they all grab an Uber back home, they don't even consider driving. Now it is a small town, but you can still pick up an Uber at 2 am for a 5 dollar ride home. Awesome!
Congrats! We recently migrated from Anthill to Jenkins, and went with Pipelines instead of freestyle jobs, and what a difference it has made in terms of being able to see/manage your build/deployment as code. We have been using Blue Ocean in Beta mode (we use Cloudbees version). Is it out of beta for Cloudbees version also?
Uber has done that for me a couple times, either whole or in part, when the driver get very lost and it takes double the time and distance.

For Amibroker I only meant the software and not the feed. The good thing about IEX is you dont have to worry about front running. As far as the OP's project I can only assume taking the other side of the trade because it is only for options and most people buy calls or puts instead of selling premium....which is different that a brokerage like Robinhood
Not really, it's not such a pity. It's not for us, mere mortals, unless you have billions of predictions to make and megawatts power to save. For your personal project where you make a few predictions per day you can use a GPU or even a CPU.

TPU excited me too at first, but when I realized that it is not related to training new networks (research) and is useful only for large scale deployment, I toned down my enthusiasm a little.
Funny to see that Jenkins is starting to address a lot of the issues that led us to creating Pipelines [1].

I still think Jenkins is a pretty huge beast to run and configure. We're trying to keep things light (install in a couple minutes with `pip install`) and intuitive (simple YAML files to describe pipelines).

We're writing a post about our take on automation/continuous delivery and how this impacted some of our design decisions for Pipelines. I'll probably dive a bit more in this version of Blue Ocean before so.

They haven't gone anywhere but none of them can compete in price. Even the new vehicles, ULA Vulcan and Arianspace Arian 6 will be vastly overpriced, even if they reach the goal price they have set for themselfes.

For SpaceX reuse and the price saving are already a reality, ULA and Arianspace are only in the concept phase for these things. Their rockets are only planned for first flight in 2020 and maybe reuse a couple of years after that.

The only reason Arianspace can compete at all is that they don't amortize the development of the rocket.
The articles I've found have all conveniently avoided answering the biggest question: why didn't the "adults" running the school figure this out sooner? ideally, before she was hired? That the students figured it out is proof it was certainly possible to figure out.

Why are you posting the same thing more than once?
I've been working on the 'identity problem' for several years with the hubzilla project. We took a different approach and made identity 'nomadic' which means that if you're "Fred Flintstone" your identity isn't tied to foo@bar.com but could pop up as bob@pop.com and your friends wouldn't know or care. In the application you're Fred Flintstone, period. Our members tend to migrate to different sites all the time - keeping their friends and content and profiles and settings intact. These can be cloned to various places where you wish to maintain your identity, or you can load everything from a thumb drive if you get kicked off one site for bad behaviour. If your home site goes dead for an hour, no problem. Post from another. Again - your friends and your content remain intact. Your profile and online identity are exactly the same. The only thing that changed is what computer you use - which we don't really care about and neither should you. And that's how it should be.
But the judge wasn't using the newspaper report as part of his consideration. He was just offering it up as something that the defendant should be willing put into the court record (instead of taking the Fifth). The fact that it appeared in a paper is, OTOH, clear-as-day evidence that stuff is not being shown to the court, which he's saying has some value as a datapoint on its own (irrespective of the content).
Are they truly in competition when they aim at two entirely separate goals? Also, isn't NASA already in competition with them?

> I'm genuinely curious if you have a cite on Google using received emails in ad targeting.

The point is, just as with ISPs, whether you can "opt out" of Google depends entirely on what Google chooses to do or not do (in the future, if not now). Even if you don't use Google services, its almost impossible to not send information to those who do. When I first saw ads on Google fifteen years ago I never expected that it'd be tracking me across the Internet and reading all the mail I send my family, but here we are.

(Advisor for #group87 here!)

You should talk to your advisor (possibly one-on-one) about selecting the right metrics. Many groups are not focused on the right things at the moment, and that's OK but something we should talk about and fix!

If you have revenue>0, you probably want it to be revenue. Similarly, if you have revenue==0 && users>0, you probably want it to be active users. (Not cumulative registered users, but daily or weekly actives, for example.) You should probably only be using "other" if those two don't apply.

Think of it this way: at the end of the 10 weeks, what metric will you really care about showing 10 weeks of growth in? For example, having 10X-ed your revenue is much more impressive than 10X daily active users, which itself is much more impressive than 10X people manually seeing a demo of your prototype!
Well if you didn't end up paying for it then they didn't really take advantage. They just attempted to and were stopped by the feedback loop ride sharing systems offer.

Sure, you can create a Sorites paradox out of this...

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

Eventually you will have to commit to an arbitrary value, and stick to it.

But there are cases in which it's no longer subjective if cyclomatic complexity is bad. If you have a 500 lines of code function with 50 return points and cyclomatic complexity of 100 it is very clear there is no way you can maintain that or write a unit test for it without playing Russian roulette each time you check in a change and therefore you can objectively say that code is not safe and should not be allowed.
I've used it with enjoyment and success in several programming language projects (compilation, program analysis). It's well suited for these things for the same reason that languages like OCaml and Haskell are well suited and commonly used for them: algebraic data types and pattern matching (called terms and unification in Prolog, and a bit more powerful than simple pattern matching). You can more easily and directly access your data than is usual in imperative or object-oriented languages.

I do note that this is a domain where you have less need to "get" the backtracking search part of Prolog, it's more like functional programming. The point being that you can do useful programming, even imperative, in Prolog, not only logical "automatically exploring a large search space" stuff.

It's a general-purpose programming language plus a search system that you can choose to use or ignore as it fits your problem. But yeah, it's not usually presented as such.
I upvoted you, but I think this needs reinforcement. These are very valuable considerations when getting a ride home after drinking.

In my personal experience, you call a cab, and they may not even come. There's no repercussion for that with traditional taxi services.

Uber may be subsidizing pricing now, but there is still a higher price point that provides additional value, particularly for those drinking.

Reliability, convenience, and accountability -- these are the keys.
> If the average of the last 10 seasons is 20 home runs, what would be a better predicted value?

You are correct, 20 is the best estimate for this single variable (or similarly for any single variable in isolation).

Only if the objective is to minimize the total MSE (Mean Square Error),

(Ph - h)² + (Pg - g)² + (Pt - t)²
MSE = ---------------------------------
3

then it pays off to bias each estimate – Ph, Pg, Pt – slightly towards zero. If any of the observed values is larger than the true value, we do improve the estimation by using a correction coefficient slightly under 1. If the observation happens to be smaller than the true value, we do make a mistake. But we make a smaller mistake when the observed value was small because it was small, than what we improve when it was large. A set of 3 independent variables is already large enough that this gamble pays off in average (in the combined total error of the 3 estimates).
ah! backtracking. combinatorial optimisation would be incredibly useful for me. if prolog is indeed backtracking as a language I definitely need to look into it.

Yes because times have changed. People spend more time reacting to things they can't solve than on developing the discipline it takes to address them. Social media and news media are totally architected to encourage this kind of thinking and behaviour. And its costing us big.

Most people in the world aren't well prepped to deal with this overloading of complexity. Its like constantly bombarding a bunch of second graders with tenth grade problems. There are huge consequences to that playing out right now in society.

This concept that people with access to info will develop healthy ways to parse the info by themselves is total BS. Its like saying access to a library is a kid needs to get educated. If that were true why do we need teachers and schools.

With speed and scale of info delivery comes a responsibility unlike ever before to think about the unintended consequences. Its just not happening. People are falling over themselves reporting complex things whose solutions they barely understand.

I honestly don't understand what is the motive behind teaching young kids to code? The passion for computer science develops on it's own. Some kids like computers while other can't be bother with it and are more interested in other fields.

Great work.
A separate discussion that I'd like to have is – why do people drink so much, to the point of drunkenness? Why is this so common? Has this always been the case? Will this change?
It might be more accurate to think of it as an exploit. There are all sorts of ways company financial structures can be abused - this is just one of them.
