I'm thinking along those lines. I'm not American but very, very, anti-war/military. However, after all the shitty wars the world has been involved in throughout the last few decades it was bothering me that we would stand by and watch the horrors inflicted on innocent civilians AND support Assad. The problem of course is how does it all end when you have a brutal dictator vs. ISIS but to stand by and watch for the most part is immoral. I don't know what the course of action should be (arrest Assad, continue to bombard ISIS out of existence?) but something needs to be done. It's disheartening the Trump is the one to do it because that's a man I don't want running a war.

> allows a bank to lend out N times more than what it has in saving deposit.

That is not quite how it works according to the Bank of England:

http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/publications/Documents/quarte...

A few summary excerpts

> Money creation in practice differs from some popular misconceptions — banks do not act simply
as intermediaries, lending out deposits that savers place with them, and nor do they ‘multiply up’
central bank money to create new loans and deposits.

> The reality of how money is created today differs from the
description found in some economics textbooks:

> • Rather than banks receiving deposits when households
save and then lending them out, bank lending creates
deposits.

> • In normal times, the central bank does not fix the amount
of money in circulation, nor is central bank money
‘multiplied up’ into more loans and deposits.

> In fact, when households choose to save more money in bank
accounts, those deposits come simply at the expense of
deposits that would have otherwise gone to companies in
payment for goods and services. Saving does not by itself
increase the deposits or ‘funds available’ for banks to lend.
Indeed, viewing banks simply as intermediaries ignores the fact
that, in reality in the modern economy, commercial banks are
the creators of deposit money

> Another common misconception is that the central bank
determines the quantity of loans and deposits in the
economy by controlling the quantity of central bank money
— the so-called ‘money multiplier’ approach.

> ...

> While the money multiplier theory can be a useful way of
introducing money and banking in economic textbooks, it is
not an accurate description of how money is created in reality

> In reality, neither are reserves a binding constraint on lending,
nor does the central bank fix the amount of reserves that are
available.
I'm using 3.24. There's still a few improvements to be made. People want the change to be a little bit less sudden (never noticed the transition, but apparently it's like an on/off thing). And personally I'd like the thing to turn off while you're watching a movie.

You can temporarily turn it off, which is pretty cool. Once you do the real colours seem super bright.
I wonder why the year 1970 keeps appearing as a turning point in a lot of these economic discussions. Did any event of significance happen around the 1970s?

Hey sure, I should have been more specific. The enhanced networking in AWS requires ixgbevf at least version 2.14.2. In addition we had random hardlocks with ext4 under the centos7 kernel. Also we had a lot of difficulties running docker on EBS disks with the device manager driver - hard lock ups randomly. That's all I recall off the top of my head. All these issues disappeared upon moving to Ubuntu 16.04 on a later kernel. Centos7 was great for us otherwise, it just didn't seem to work out so well with Docker + AWS.

>Anyone who wants to set up an independent media, or carry out any form of independent investigation or reporting can do so.

I can't - I don't have the resources or expertise to set up a global media conglomerate.

Can you ?

I could try a start up, but I would need to take venture money and that comes with giving up some control...

Pretty soon we are going to reach the conclusion that there are maybe a couple of people in the world who could, in theory, create a media outlet able to compete with the established ones.

So not 'anyone'.
Syrian chemical weapons are very different though because we've seen them and they agreed to destroy them.
That's a fair point as well. But, both of those are cultural issues we will work through eventually, IMO. The federal government abusing its power is a procedural error that needs immediate veto.
Thinking someone has them and watching someone use them are a bit different. As it happens Saddam did actually use chemical weapons against the Kurds in the 80s.
Flatpak purely deals with GUI/desktop applications. Sandboxed, then having a GUI way to break out of the sandbox securely (user interaction). Snaps also allow non-GUI things and Canonical wants to use it as well for cloud (or maybe already are using it). Due to Snap having a different focus, you cannot just drop Snap.

But goosebook and facegle make backups for their own sake. You're still tied by vendor lock-in and can be locked out of your own data on a whim and prevented from switching to another service provider. They can and do monetize data that users have been locked out of.

Let them do their thing until people are so mad that they go after them. At the end of the day, if politicians aren't scared of armed mobs, we don't have real democracy anymore. Because a real militia capable of overthrowing DC in 2017 is laughable, I'm not sure how we keep the power of politicians in check anymore.

They do whatever they want, and the people have little recourse. Call and complain all you want, they'll still do whatever they want for the next three and a half years.

Those "power-free" landings require a collective pitch rotor system.

The volocopter appears to be direct drive fixed pitch so it wouldn't be able to autorotate.

It also presumably relies on counter rotating rotors to cancel out the torques, so loss of motors may require other motors to be shut down to prevent undesirable yaw.

I remain somewhat skeptical of these being practical beyond 5-10 minute fun flights around a field, but good luck to them.
The ending is what makes this article:

>Overall, I'm not 100% sure I made the right choice, but I only have to live with it for two years.

People are great at short term thinking, and tend to be terrible at long term thinking. Just some anecdata: I had a look at some source code for a 10+ year old web app before JS libraries were popular. I could understand perfectly how a click on a link resulted in a URL hash change and how the hash change resulted in updates on the page. Nowadays it would be written off as coding your own framework since web developers can't be trusted to code without a framework anymore. But it worked with the least amount of indirection possible and it was simple to understand 10 years later. Web apps today just get rewritten every two years.
> not full MV* frameworks

Vue.js has an official router, and an official "redux" like data store.

https://router.vuejs.org/en/

https://vuex.vuejs.org/en/intro.html

It is absolutely a full MV* framework. Vue.js also supports server-side rendering, in fact I use Vue.js as my template engine when using node.js .

https://vuejs.org/v2/guide/ssr.html

Angular2 router is in a separate package, does it make is short of a full MV* solution? no.

What I like with Vue.js is that complexity is opt-in. In the sense that it doesn't force you to use a cli (it has a cli), it doesn't force you to use webpack or an asset pipeline (it has support for webpack). It doesn't force you to use a third party language, but you can... You start small then scale with your needs, instead of having to deal with complexity upfront. That used to kind of be the case with AngularJS 1 too, that's why it got widely adopted.

The headline attached to the article itself is totally fair. Moreover, Gurley is quoted in the article, more-or-less directly refuting the predominant hype mode:

"The part we haven't figured out yet, the last 3 percent, which is snow, rain, all the really, really hard stuff — it really is hard," Gurley said. "They have done all the easy stuff."

This all rings true to me, though I'd say it's more like the last 20 percent, not the last three. Outside of silicon valley, weather exists, and it does bad things to the light-based sensors that these cars currently depend upon.

They reduced the number of patches quite a bit. For some of the things they do, they depend on components that are not commonly used within GNOME. Meaning, it's not a patch, but as a sole user they'll have to maintain components if they're the only "user". Something written on top of Tracker IIRC; not started by Canonical, but nicely used by them. That's always a bit of a difficult explanation, sometimes Canonical expects maintenance to happen magically.
Let's put together a reward for leaking the whole thing out? If impossible, then building a platform to do such a thing is the most impactful action I can think of. Is there such a thing?

For nearly a decade, Ketchum, a psychiatrist, went about his work in the belief that chemicals are more humane instruments of warfare than bullets and shrapnel—or, at least, he told himself such things. To achieve his dream, he worked tirelessly at a secluded Army research facility, testing chemical weapons on hundreds of healthy soldiers, and thinking all along that he was doing good.

> Obviously, genetic information can be quite informative for non-complex traits or diseases caused by variants in only 1 or a few genes.

And (unfortunately) those are the exact variants that services like 23andme do not detect.

23andme uses an array chip. These only detect common variants, in locations that have been pre-planned while designing the chip. A batch of patient samples are all tested together, and the probe for each variant produces a signal. Software then tries to cluster samples into three groups, which are homozygous normal, heterozygous, and homozygous abnormal. If the variant isn't common, then there would not be a decent number of samples in each group, and the clustering would fail. These tests are literally incapable of detecting any variant that is rare.

To detect rare variants, you need to do proper sequencing, for example with Sanger (single gene), or high throughput sequencing (AKA NGS, Next Generation Sequencing). This can be targeted panels of selected genes, whole exome sequencing, or whole genome sequencing.

A disease caused by a variant in a single gene (a monogenic disease) is usually caused by a rare variant. The more severe the disease, the more rare the variant is. A gene may have loads of common variants that do not cause disease. A gene may have a really rare variant that does not cause disease. Or it may have a rare variant that does cause disease - but this needs to be determined by someone with training and experience in the field.

As a lab, we regularly get inquiries by people saying "I have a variant detected by 23andme in <known disease gene> - could this be causing my <rare genetic condition>?" The answer is "No - this test is incapable of detecting disease-causing variants - it only detects the benign ones."
I'm sure those people see this question through a different lens than you and me. But your question is totally spot on. It'd be great if someone could shed some light on this dark spot.
>Uber's upfront estimate is based on a naive calculation of getting from A -> B.

That's not the claim at all. The claim is Uber is charging you for a 10 minute trip it knows is only gonna take 9 minutes. It's not naive, but purposefully wrong in order to get a higher cut of the fare than the driver was told.
The original tiny Version 1 through Version 6 system may have been more or less proprietary (although provided with source for comparatively little money) but the Unix ecosystem hasn't been proprietary for a very long time. Many of the commands people think of today came not from AT&T at all, but from Berkeley.

Even as the commercial Unix platforms split, flourished, and fell apart keeping their own source more or less private Ultrix, Solaris, Irix, AIX, SCO, SunOS, OSF/1, HP/UX, Digital Unix, and others were more or less "Unix" with a few caveats about compatibility. POSIX and the SUS were formed. Systems got certified.

Then the GNU tools were written and Linux became their kernel. Then, the Berkeley vs. AT&T lawsuit ended and we got the explosion of open source BSDs - NetBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Midnight BSD, DragonflyBSD...

So yes, technically the original AT&T Unix was proprietary. That's not all there is to Unix nor has it been for decades. There is no Single VMS Specification. There are no independent systems certified as VMS compliant. You run what DEC / Compaq / HP / VMS Systems supplies and you like it or you don't. There is no Single Windows Specification. You take what Microsoft gives you or not. Unix is an open standard.

I feel at this point this is not a sensible thing to do any more unfortunately. I totally get the impulse though. For instance, there is still nothing great on the JVM for deep learning with symbolic differentiation (deeplearning4j does not have this, correct me if this has changed).

On the other hand, I realize that between writing native interfaces, symbolic differentiation (e.g. writing a port of autograd), network optimisers, custom layers, parameter servers, multi-GPU scheduling and so forth, I'd spend years before getting to do what I wanted to implement in the first place.

My understanding is that it'll require a sport pilot license, and the regulator might well introduce an entirely new category (as it is not comparable to a heli or even fixed wing in complexity).

I wish the author had tried Polymer because it's the most underrated one.
I just love the way Polymer components declare/consume dependencies (as tags in the component file)
and connect all sub-components in the template markup via attributes - It makes data binding relationships between components and their children very clear.

Polymer is basically an inverted version of React (and it achieves a similar outcome).
In React, template markup is nested inside the code.
In Polymer, code is nested inside the template markup.

I hope Polymer will gain more traction because I would love to be able to use it professionally.

I think the core debate should not be about payment based on estimate/actual (for whichever party), but rather whether there are to transactions (uber-driver and uber-rider) or one (rider-driver), which Uber facilitates. Or as other commenters worded, whether rider is paid for minutes/miles/trips by Uber, or minutes/miles/trips by rider with fixed Uber's cut. Calculation method is irrelevant here.
I have no idea, but I'm quite sure that's a more of problem with my network than there not being anyone up to the job.

Indeed, the volocopter breaks with traditional heli modus operandi, but that's a good thing. It is much simpler to operate, with one control stick:

* rotate to rotate the craft (replacing rudder)

* move forward/backwards/sideways to move (translate) the craft (replacing cyclic)

* operate simple switch on top to ascent/descent (replacing collective and throttle)

Just `pip install arv`, `python -m arv --example genome.txt` and you're good to go (it's fast as well, parses in 60-70ms).

Probably a better thing to do would be to download one of the many excellent open source libraries and explore how they work. You can then even contribute back. Many open source projects would really benefit from new users contributing to documentation for a start.
23andme can only detect common variants. In general, common variants do not cause non-mild diseases - certainly nothing worth avoiding a child being born. You should certainly not be making decisions like that based on a report from 23andme.
This is not a helicopter. With the volocopter design, up to 4 of the 18 rotors can fail and you can still fly/control/land, and for contingencies there is a ballistic rescue chute.
