Pirates are not unique in that respect. All mass media is heavily fictionalized. Thomas Jefferson to John Norvell(1807): I will add, that the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods & errors. He who reads nothing will still learn the great facts, and the details are all false. https://www.loc.gov/resource/mtj1.038_0592_0594/?sp=2&st=tex...
I think that's the standard interpretation (i.e., human interaction is the lifesaver). However, when you start to drill down on the whole (gut) bacteria thing, I think things change. Sure, emotions also have impact on the immune system, but so do bacteria. Love IS a powerful emotion. As bacteria are as well ;) The irony (?) is gut bacteria have also been linked to mental conditions / emotions.

I love you...because your gut told my gut to say that? :)
It is worth noting that "Stretch" (Debian Release 9.x) is not yet released as "stable" and as such is not currently recommended for production use. It is currently Debian Testing, not Debian Stable, with "Jessie" (release 8.x) carrying the "Stable" moniker.

IIRC that is due to change imminently, as Stretch entered full feature freeze in February in preparation for release, and I've not heard of any massive show-stoppers since, but if you install "stable" right now you'll get Jessie (release 8.x) not Stretch (r9).

I've done some machine learning in the past. I get how you tackle machine learning problems and the first thing that I would say that your proposed topic is not currently possible.

"*Say you're trying to come up with an algorithm that decides whether articles in a data set are "fake news"
(topical, I know).*"

Current AI cannot do this. This would take finding sources, pulling data out of those sources, cross referencing multiple sources, and recurring for those articles to a certain depth.

That's not a good facsimile for deciding sentencing. Sentencing is more like a linear regression classification. You have a history of previous cases where the defendant was found guilty. You then have a pile of factors that played into the judge's decision for sentencing. For example:

* If they meant to do it
* If they feel bad about doing it
* If they did do it (Beyond a reasonable doubt)
* If they have done it before
* What severity this crime is
* ... etc

The judge then uses their experience in law and previous case law as well as statues to find a proper punishment. This is in the form of:

* Time served
* Fines
* Privileges revoked
* Community Service

This would then be fed into a classification engine. You leave all of the existing infrastructure in place (Judge, Jury, Lawers) and just use their decision as input into the sentencing.

Deciding the validity of claims is not within the scope of modern day machine learning (as of 2017). Classification engines are very much in the scope of machine learning of today.

I don't see how case factors could be biased. I don't see how historical cases (when stripped of all identifying information) could be biased. I don't see why a system like this would be bad.

All treatment of everyone would converge into a uniform handling of cases.
For all it was, Friends did spell out some Manhattan realities. The main set, the girl's apartment, was an illegal sublet of an older relative and therefore subject to rent control. Even characters in decent jobs shared apartments. Several had wealthy parents who lived outside the city. A couple of the female characters made no bones about how they wanted to date/marry rich men, often significantly older men. And I got a kick out of the story arch where the Chandler character, despite a reasonable job history and a degree, had to work as an unpaid intern. The visual dimensions were certainly a total fiction, but I got the impression that some of the writing staff wrote what they knew.

"I'd rather Wikipedia spend to retain long-tenured experts who have paid their dues than be an underpaid-college-graduate-mill like so many non-profits are."

I've always been interested in learning formal logic, but I always seem to get frustrated by the ambiguity present in theorems like this, and how non-rigorous statements are. For instance: the first claim is "PA proves that e accepts only finitely many inputs". What exactly does this mean? PA does not have a notion of sets, let alone finite-ness. Perhaps PA proves (\exists n \forall x (accepts(e, x) \implies x <= n)). But in nonstandard models of PA, there could be an infinite number of symbols less than n, so it would not be correct to call this "finite" in contexts like this where we are talking about non-standard models. Maybe the intended statement is "For some standard integer n, PA proves (\forall x (accepts(e, x) \implies x <= n)). But that doesn't seem to jive with the other claims made because then there would be a global bound across all models. So then under our loose definition of finite, is A actually allowed to contain an infinite number of distinct objects in the model, so long as they are bounded by a nonstandard number? Can A contain nonstandard numbers? Can e check cases with nonstandard numbers "before" it checks cases with standard numbers? The article hand-waves away all these problems in ways that make the proof totally non-convincing. Admittedly, I've only got a BA in math, and the article is intended for someone with a lot more experience in the field, but I hit these same conceptual problems whenever I try to learn more.

Nanolog: Fast, zero-allocs logging for Go
In my Rust crates, I use a custom trait[1], with implementations for Option and Result, that provides an expected() method which, if it panics, prefixes the message with "expected: ". So you can write

foo().pop().expected("foo length >= 1");

and if it fails, the error is something like "panicked at 'expected foo length >= 1'".

Capsules are lifting bodies too. Apollo had a L/D of 0.368 and "steered" by rotating. Dragon uses the same technique (albeit with a slightly lower L/D), and Dragon 2 will have a tungsten ballast sled so it can change its angle of attack dynamically during re-entry.

Even simple cylinders can be lifting bodies. Shuttle and Falcon 9 both have a L/D of 1.[1] On Falcon 9 the first stage acts as a lifting body, using the grid fins to "trim" the big cylindrical body making it act like a wing.

In the SpaceX landing videos you can see the stage pitch up on reentry. This is no accident. Upward lift = more atmosphere traveled through = more drag = less landing fuel needed = more payload to orbit. A nice optimization by the SpaceX team!

>you don't actually need wings by the way, it's kind of a common misconception around, you just need some lift over drag number, or lift vector - and steer back to the launch pad --- Elon Musk[2]

That's still the job of the judge and there is law at hand for how those values are calculated. The computers won't be involved with that (I'd assume) just sentencing based on previous case decisions.
Some 10 years ago, when I was in 8th or 9th grade, I was threatend to be expelled as well, and charges were allegedly brought against me (I never really checked). I "hacked" the school website (as the CS teacher explained to my parents) and deleted all it's contents. In reality, I only logged in via FTP and renamed all HTML files (the hosting did not event support PHP, and this was around 2008). I had access to the FTP because a year ago I was briefly responsible for running the school website and nobody bothered to change the passwords when they took over running the website.

I got a call from the principal the next day. He congratulated me and asked me to apologize to the CS teacher. After I did that, she agreed to drop the charges. In the end, I was only reprimanded and I had to apologize to the whole school as well. My only other "punishment" was helping the CS teacher fix some computers after school.

As this was playing out, I was hoping they wouldn't find out what I did a year earlier - I'd set up a phishing website for the country's most popular email service and I'd set it as a homepage on all the school computers. Needless to say, noone bothered to check the address bar, so in a week, I had passwords of half the school, including some teachers and the principal himself.

Please reread, for many purposes! I love Wikipedia.

The Wiki markup is extremely complicated and being user created, it is also inconsistent and error prone. I believe the MediaWiki parser itself is something like a single 5000 line PHP function! All of the alternate parsers I've tried are not perfect. There is a ton of information encoded in the semi-structured markup, but it's still not easy to turn that into actual structured data. That's where the problem lies.

There was at least one mishap during Apollo capsule reentry where astronauts were exposed to fumes from hypergolic fuel, after forgetting to purge the thrusters at the proper time:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo%E2%80%93Soyuz_Test_Proj...

That brief exposure, before they got their oxygen masks on, put them in the hospital for a couple of weeks. It really could have been worse.

I believe the technical procedure for unprotected ground crew dealing with a leak of this stuff is, roughly, "turn around and run for your life." Hence the guys in funny-looking suits.

Not the op, but I think another way of thinking about the problem is related to Tragedy of the Commons[0]. In general, it's an issue that arises out of the different goals of the various actors, which can be orthogonal or counter to the goals of the group. One way of thinking about it intuitively is to imagine multiple painters all trying to create their own artwork on the same canvas, leading to a very messy result. The solution is for the actors to have aligned goals and execute as a team. Achieving that seems to be an interesting and unsolved problem.

How so? We aren't talking about strcpy(), just strcmp(), and all the strings in question should be nul-terminated (if they aren't then mem* routines should be used and more length checks would be needed; there are also timing attacks to worry about if we're considering all the possible issues).

But normally strncmp isn't safer than strcmp. They just do different things.

> On-orbit satellite servicing and refueling has not been performed as of yet

Declassified on-orbit satellite servicing and refueling has not been performed as of yet. I wouldn't be shocked if the X-37 has refueled a NRO bird or two (or just simulated it) as a test.
Risk reduction - pretty well explained above.
Experimentation - Standard definition. Trying out stuff.

New Scientist did something like this when it started to emphasise the mobile version: more pop psych, less hard science. Then I stopped reading it.

IMO, len("") should raise OperationHasNoCommonSenseTodayException, just to not confuse unicode newbies. Modern text is not an array, it is a format, a complex format. Zero-width, double-width monotypes, combining, direction marks, normalization, etc. Almost no one wants to know about codepoint details when working with "just input strings", and those who want may use special namespaces for that. There is no point in making len() an alias for unicode.volatile_number_of_distinct_code_points().

visually_empty(s) is okay, len(s) is probably not.

For folks who don't have the local color here: if you're willing to live in apartments sized for middle class Japanese folks, and that is a big if for many foreigners, Tokyo can be impressively inexpensive to live in. Shibuya is a very desirable and relatively centrally located neighborhood; think "SOMA" or, hmm, I don't know Manhattan that well but somewhere in Midtown maybe?

(If you optimize for commute down to the minute, prestige of building, or living space, you can end up paying a lot of money. Though even in an apartment that scores well on all three my rent is less than the median in SF.)

Do you seriously think McDonalds servers have this perspective ?

> Those rewards offset (and frequently just barely offset) the costs of living. This means that capitalism can also be portrayed as "Do your job or you'll kill yourself."

In theory, those jobs are meant to convey the message "improve yourself, or ...". Now I get that it probably doesn't feel like that but on the other side I must say that I know plenty of younger folks that certainly can learn how to program, but won't. Instead taking service jobs, being exploited, but also nobody expecting anything of them in terms of achieving something. They refuse to put in any kind of effort (including at those service jobs btw, where they are not exactly working at peak efficiency).

Now I understand this attitude, but let's not pretend that this isn't voluntary self-sabotage (I understand the psychology surrounding it may be hard to break out of, but ... well you have to), or that it's good for society to have lots of people like that.

> The Dragon-2 has enough power and fuel to land and ascend back to lunar orbit. The Dragon's SuperDraco has higher performance than the Apollo Lunar Module. Apollo LM descent engines has 10,000 lbf thrust, and 3,500 lbf thrust for ascent (the lander part is left behind). The Dragon's SuperDraco has 16,000 lbf thrust. The Dragon also uses computers to control throttle and land (much more fuel efficient). Hence, the Dragon-2 has enough power and fuel to land and ascend back to lunar orbit even if it carries all it's parts during ascent. However, it may need to cut crew from 7 to 3 to loose more weight for fuel.

(Plus, I said "more SpaceX" as in "capsules with powered descent", not "SpaceX's exact current models as already implemented"...)
