People consume food predominately (70% of total meals in a month)based on ethnic lines and local customs why because that is how their Mom cooked first 15 years of their childhood and their taste buds were developed that way.

If you take a two month window,120 meals (2 meals X 60 days) , 90 meals that is 75% consists repeats from a group of 20 different food dishes .

Let us assume, you are living in typical US city where the population is 30,000 people. There may be 10 different categories of people BASED on their 'food preferences'.

When you combine this 10 different category groups with the above '20 different food dishes repeat' combine this with pre-paid Monthly plan and Centralized Kitchens, you have a quality food at close to GROCERY price bill .

Once the above AGGREGATION happens, It is not hard to have a sushi, Pizza, Thai, Chinese etc.. all under same roof Centralized Kitchen because the kitchen will be serving on a given day serving 1000 Pizza, 1000 Thai, 1000 Sushi, 1000 Subs etc.. for 30,000 population city .

Unmanned Soviet missions have brought back a total of 0.32 kg. Would we back then have been capable of building an unmanned system capable of investigating rocks, cleaving samples, and bringing back hundreds of kilograms? Are we now?

It's pretty likely that no one really looked into the antimicrobial properties of copper surfaces until the advent of biofilm research (essentially Bill Costerton's paper(s) [0][1]). Without that idea, there wasn't a way to talk about or study what was happening, and there was no funding.

So, yeah, the better studies would've come out around ~2000.

I don't see a very practical use for suspensions of copper compounds as antimicrobials (maybe topical treatments only), but lots of uses for copper surfaces.

How Women Are Swiping the Weirdness Out of Online Dating
Zephyr, the first IP-based IM system, briefly experimented with anonymity. It was similarly local--mostly being on the MIT campus (links to CMU zephyr being rare). I've not seen a historical record of the messages posted, but I've been told by multiple grey-haired alums that things turned toxic very quickly.
Well, it sort of depends on the size of the "voting blocs" in which there are winner-takes-all. If the voting bloc was a single person then you have proportional representation, more or less. In the US, the voting blocs are the states, and they are usually very big, so the US is very far from PR.

How big are these voting blocs in Canada?

Anyway, it's interesting to me that even PR systems usually end up having two major parties (with a host of smaller parties around them). I guess that's because many voters cannot bother to educate themselves about the smaller parties or because there's usually one big question of the day that can be answered in a yes/no fashion...

What's your evidence that this is Simpson's Paradox? In order for that to be the case, you'd have to have a significantly higher proportion of the US population living in the most dangerous neighborhoods as compared to the UK. That may be the case, but I'd be reluctant to assume that.
Compared to revenue it doesnt seem crazy either: at approx $150M in Q1-17, thats over $300k revenue per employee per year (if the revenue and headcount stays flat). Certainly there are many profitable companies at a ratio like that.

But for ad-fueled companies the bar to profitability and long term success is quite a bit higher:

Alphabet does about 4x that ($1.3M/employee/year) [0], and Facebook does even better ($1.8M/employee/year) [1][2].

if the offshored personnel work via a bodyshop then the incentives are completely different compared to direct employees, and the resulting work is considerably lower quality (at least in my experience)

if offshored personnel are direct employees it's a completely different story

given the main cost saving comes from being able to "ramp the size of the pool up and down to meet demand" most large companies opt for the bodyshop solution...
That's why I think it could be an interesting case ... if the data showed this to be the case I don't think it would be an open and shut case for those bringing complaint. If google were shown to not have taken steps to balance things then maybe. But on the other hand then if google demonstrated that they had and this pattern emerged anyway what then? I guess this is the kind of discussion google would want to avoid anyway but whatever the outcome could set an important legal precedent.

There was a time not too far back when people used to be considered a "genius" for their ability to memorize things well.

Nowadays nobody thinks of them as geniuses.

Also, people used to be considered geniuses for knowing a lot of things.

Nowadays information is just a Google search away, so knowing a lot doesn't really mean as much as it used to. What matters more nowadays is your ability to learn synthesize the things you know to come up with creative solutions to things.

Basically the "memory" part of human brains have become commoditized without us even realizing.

It's still very early but I do think there have been some subtle but significant step forward in the last couple of years. The most important being: machines are capable of doing certain things better in ways humans can't comprehend easily. I think this is a glimpse into the future where the "creativity" aspect of our brains will become commoditized, also without us realizing.

This doesn't mean machines will take over, just like machines didn't take over the world because they have better memory. But I think this will result in many humans taking advantage of this aspect to exert influence on rest of the humanity.
Climate scientist Phil Jones in Feb. 2005:

‘We have 25 years or so invested in the work. Why should I make the data available to you, when your aim is to try and find something wrong with it?’

'The two MMs have been after the CRU station data for years. If they ever hear there is a Freedom of Information Act now in the UK, I think I’ll delete the file rather than send to anyone.'

You can say what you want about the antagonistic nature of climate science (the pro-AGW site skeptical science excuses the above quotes on that basis), but I think science flourishes best when opposing viewpoints are vigorously but truthfully defended.

I find the above quotations inexcusable.

>You go to prison in America you will be brutally tortured

Having read the article for context, I think you could gain some perspective from it:

>In Syrian prisons, dissidents are beaten, given electric shocks, crushed in a folding board called the “flying carpet” and hanged in their thousands after two-minute “trials”. More commonly, prisons are vile because they are overcrowded and ill-managed, so the nastier inmates (and guards) can do what they please. At some Brazilian lockups, for example, heavily outnumbered guards patrol the perimeter and allow gang bosses to impose order within.
Indeed but if google could demonstrate the contract was formed in good faith, as they probably could, then it would not be so.
There might be some hard to release infrastructure code for the MCTS part, certainly, but the model on its own should be a standard TF CNN model and highly competitive (and people can write their own MCTS wrapper, it's not that complex an algorithm). Nothing in the AG paper or statements since has hinted at using anything as exotic as synthetic gradients* and there is no reason to use synthetic gradients in AG. (In RL applications the NNs are generally small because there's so little supervision from the rewards so a large NN would overfit grossly; a NN so large as to require synthetic gradients to be split across GPUs would be simply catastrophicly bad. Plus, the input of a 19x19 board, a few planes of metadata, and other details encapsulating the state is small compared to many applications like image labeling, further reducing the benefits of size. Silver has said AG is now 40 layers but that's not much compared to the 1000-layer Resnet monsters and even those 40 layers are probably going to be thin layers, since it's the depth which provides more serial computation equivalence, not width, making for a model with relatively few parameters overall.)

* I find synthetic gradients super cool and I've been reading DM papers closely for hints of its use anywhere and have been disappointed how the idea doesn't appear to be going anywhere. The only followup so far has been https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.00522 which is more of a dissection and further explanation of the original paper than an extension or application.

To calculate the size of a structure, or the offset of a substructure.

But you can do that on the M68k:

<ea> can be any addressing mode, including another address register. Most assemblers will let you use SUB.L and substitute SUBA if the destination is an address register.

I think there is something to this line of reasoning, but I'm not sure we have to get that abstract.

I suspect this stems from the fact that each game imposes its own set of artificial restrictions. Of course you don't ride a horse in a footrace; that's not the game. Just as you don't confer with your team of experts in a Go game. A game is only given meaning by the artificial restrictions it defines.

Within the bounds of the rules of the footrace, the game is still competitive for humans; currently this is somewhat tautologically so. (Though I think we will have a similar conversation to this when human cyborgs can out-compete unmodified humans [1]). The fact that there are things faster than a human outside of the bounds of the game is irrelevant.

In Go, within the bounds of the rules of the game, humanity cannot compete at the highest level any more. I see that as a big difference.

SUBA.L will let you subtract a an address register from another (you can use any effective address as the source operand).
Would that apply to all of googles employees though? I assume that people working on nongovernmental products would not be included.
This. As the owner of a full-body aluminium convertible chromebook, I'd concur: The point about "losing the keyboard" doesn't apply per se, if you're talking about the right Chromebook model. The Asus C100P for example makes a good tablet and its laptop-experience has never been matched with any iPad-keyboard I've seen so far.

On the other hand, a Chromebook's problem (for now) regarding the "tablet mode" lies in the ChromeOS GUI: It wasn't designed with touch screens in mind (especially the browser itself) and feels clunkier than other tablet controls. Google are on their way to remedy that through their integration of Android apps though. They're certainly not there yet, but I can imagine that changing in the forseeable future.

"At the moment llvm-goparse is not capable of building the Go libraries + runtime (libgo), which makes it difficult/unwieldy to use for running actual Go programs. As an interim workaround, I've written a shim/wrapper script that allows you to use llvm-goparse in combination with an existing GCCGO installation, using gccgo for the runtime/libraries and the linking step, but llvm-goparse for any compilation."

Not sure I get it: so Gollvm (=llvm-goparse?) can be used as compiler, but not as a linker (yet?), so gccgo's linker can be used? Also, Go runtime and standard libraries can't be compiled with Gollvm? If standard libs can't be compiled, then how can I know if my app can be compiled?

I know a project named "llvm-go" was started quite long ago, and had somewhat slow (compared to gccgo) progress because of few, non-Google contributors (probably hobbyists); is this the same work? is it just still in progress, but somewhat more (how much?) advanced now?

Some additional googling shows a similarly named project (https://github.com/go-llvm/llvm), which from its readme seems absorbed by LLVM proper, and is subtitled "LLVM bindings for [Go]" (http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk/bindings/go/READ...). Is this the same project, or something more, or something else? [EDIT:] Ok, based on the CONTRIBUTORS file, it's a totally different project, at least one question cleared. (https://go.googlesource.com/gollvm/+/master/CONTRIBUTORS)
Women are just less aggressive when negotiating and are more agreeable than men. It's statistics and it's obviously biological.

Women also feel satisfied with compensation at one moment and have no desire to increase their working hours/responsibilities for a meager (if any) improvement in their quality of life (that would appear with higher salary). Men on the other hand, seem to have more of those crazy individuals that waste enormous hours and overachieve despite the meager improvement in quality of life, if we ignore the bragging rights it gives them. Also statistics, and obviously biology.

Not to mention the fact that accomplished women most often have older and more accomplished men as partners, which also removes an incentive for them to make more money.

It is also the case that women do accept part-time work positions (which makes them earn less) more than men.

Is it the patriarchy? Is it Google?

Anything that boots on a Raspberry Pi should also work on the Revolution Pi, e.g. FreeBSD:

https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/arm/Raspberry%20Pi

It's just that we haven't tested it yet ourselves. Minimal adjustments may be necessary due to a few small differences between the standard RasPi and the RasPi Compute Module used in the Revolution Pi, e.g. the Compute Module lacks the on-board BCM43438 WiFi that's present on the standard RasPi 3.

Can someone knowledgeable with Go, explain what's happening here? Why does it store a 0 and then a 1 in "$ret0"? Why does it allocate a single integer on the stack? (is it because this is just intermediate code for a virtual machine?) and all of that just to return a 1.
> Once you have been in jail its really hard to find a decent job

And that's another aspect that needs addressing, and can be done regardless of legal/political changes.

Someone's been in jail/prison? Then they apply for a job with your company when they get out? Categorically denying them employment without regard to their previous offense is silly, although it's definitely policy at some (many?) companies. Helping people get back to a 'normal' life is something we all can take part in in various ways - not closing the door on applicants is another thing we can do.

> Women are more likely to take time out of the workforce to care for family/children, which can result in lower pay when they return.

I mean, what do you propose should be done to combat this? Should people who put more time into their career not be rewarded more?

Further, you don't even need women to take time out more often from the workforce for there to be a problem. The current Median Age at Marriage for the USA[0] shows that men marry women about ~2 years younger. Assuming that both partners take equal time to care for the family, and assuming both partners started their careers at the same time, the moment the average married couple gets a baby they will skew ~3 career years(~2 + pregnancy) towards the man, until they get close to retirement age. Even if they split the family effort equally, those 3 years on average will still be in favor of the man, accruing more career experience and thus better pay.

How do you propose to fight this issue?

I must agree that on-the-job training is effective and possibly underrated in the field of cyber security. The one domain where it didn't stand out IMO was cryptography. Being taught how PKI and HTTPS work as a lesson in a course is valuable on it's own, however, when I think about all the coworkers that I've encountered who don't quite grasp how that stuff works, such a lesson has proved to be even more valuable. Would you say your on-the-job training covers PKI effectively?
