Most of that was overnight and short term loans quickly paid back to ensure solvency of balance sheets to avoid a depression instead of recession no?

I was also thinking it'd be interesting to have a fixed supply currency be tapered towards the UN and analysts predictions towards the apex of human population. Quite a few of the charts predict humans will level off around 10 billion in the year 2050. If that's the case, it might not make sense for the pie to be continually growing as it does now since the population continues to increase.

But inflation with a growing population at moderate levels is generally seen to be a positive thing and I think the fed has even had trouble keeping up with the inflation targets they're comfortable with as of late (although I think last year was something like 2.4% which is pretty reasonable).
if you try really hard and get lucky enough, you can probably do as well as a simple regression in this case.

Maybe you aren't familiar with deep learning: but this isn't "trying really hard." This is doing basic stuff that anyone using deep learning probably knows.

And deep learning doesn't just "do as well" as the simpler model. It does meaningfully better at all sample sizes.

Although the OP seems to be asking for "engineering" not "programming" books, I'm going to second this. Benjamin Pierce's "Types and Programming Languages" will help you get down to what programming is really about. If you are not familiar with lambda calculus and its notation, it may be rough going at first. But lambda calculus is VERY simple, and Pierce takes you through it. The book progresses methodically to the concepts found in most common programming languages.

This is one of the few truly language agnostic books on programming. SICP is close, but it is limited in relevance at times due to the limitations of a particular language (Scheme).
I've cut carbs and increased my calorie intake (through fat and protein) over the past year and have shed 70 lbs of "water weight". I went from Obese to a healthy weight, from a 42" waist to a 32" waist. And I've actually decreased the amount of exercise I've done, too. Amazing how much "water weight" all those fat cells were holding.

If true, I'm a bit bummed that the full iMac redesign is coming in 2018 instead of at the end of this year. I have a 2011 MBA that is starting to show it's age. I was thinking a new iMac would be it's replacement.

Also, it would also be amazing for Apple to add Mag Safe connectors back to their laptops. Certainly, there must have been a sharp rise in destroyed laptops at coffee shops for them to backtrack?
That was my first thought as well. I was hoping for a high-end system that I actually own, but nope. Nobody will provide that.

Apple still provides the closest thing, at least on Mac. (iOS is another story.) Their telemetry is more minimal than Microsoft's, and it's possible to disable it in a way that hasn't changed much in some time. There's not much evidence Apple cares if you do so. I also trust Apple's security far more than Microsoft's.

In my experience, a lot of people will answer that they don't mind at all if it's for a greater good. I find people are more persuaded by this argument if you also explain that the greater good might change to be something they're uncomfortable with in the future. What if we have a few more terrorist attacks over the next few years and the government decides to outlaw Islam? Are you cool with the government coming in to your home and screening your communications to make sure you're not hiding muslims? Are you cool with the government screening your communications to make sure you're not trying to organize dissent? Just because you have nothing to hide right now, that's not to say that you won't in the future.

One of the features of the Windows 10 Game Mode is that it raises the thread priority of the application. This proved incredibly useful for me in some games - most notably GTA 5 - and in a lot of other games it didn't seem to do anything at all. I'm pretty thankful for the feature - because manually raising the thread priority every time I open the application was a very unnecessary pain.

The Pragmatic Programmer by Andrew Hunt and David Thomas
That's fair enough, although I'm still not really sure why statisticians have to think about data in such a different way to machine learning researchers. I feel that if a statistician didn't look at the bigger picture of what their data is actually about and whether there are existing techniques to tackle that problem, they'd make a pretty terrible statistician.
14nm? Wait, isn't the iPhone 8's A11 to be on 10nm? I can't imagine TSMC being ahead of IBM's foundry, so what's going on here? Non-technical "nm"?
I'd say the reason that the people in power want to be able to collect all information is not to protect the people, but instead to protect themselves and their friends in powerful positions.

One of the main threats to these large organisations and the people at the top of them ate journalists and whistleblowers. Because those are two groups of people that can provide critical data and reasoning on bad and evil things that are done within such large organisations.

So having the ability to find out who said what to whom will allow them to crack down or reporters and journalists before they can get their stories out. And it will allow them to trace and find out who the people are leaking sensitive information outside and deal with them.

In some way this is about protecting the people, just not the people we are all thinking of.

The Z3 is a floating point machine... I'd wager that it is more complex than the 4004. While the 4004 has a couple more transistors than the Z3 had relays (about 600 in the "CPU"), the telephone relays used by the Z3 had many circuits and thus can perform more complex stuff than a single transistor in a logic circuit.

My company sent me to Boca Raton in 1983 to learn how to use the PC. It was a week long class with hands on experience configuring PCs and BAT file programming using "EDLIN".

I had PC serial #7 in the class and serial #1 was at the front of the classroom.

The instructors were very excited that they could use BAT files and were bragging that the whole class roster was entered and managed on the PC using only the tools that came with PC-DOS.

The course set me on the path of systems and programming and kept me fat and happy for the next 35 years.
Statistics books I liked:

Motulsky's Intuitive Biostatistics - this one goes over all the usual methods used in science from distributions to t-test to ANOVA to regressions etc., the basics, but doesn't introduce the maths (you use R for that) but the assumptions and pitfalls of all of those methods.

Statistics Done Wrong: The Woefully Complete Guide - this is all the stuff that's going wrong in applied statistics, a bit short but enlightening

Discovering Statistics Using R - a whopper of a book (~1000 pages?), it goes through everything while also being funny (the constant humor may not be for everyone). Graphs, correlations, regressions, all the MLMs and GLMs, linear models etc. pp., their assumptions, how to run them in R, how to interpret R's sometimes annoying output, etc. pp. Like Motulsky's, but wayyyyy more in-depth on the language's specifics.

> High frame rates are beautiful

Yes, but it all depends on what you are seeing. Games look fantastic, VR probably looks great.

For movies, I'd stick with 24 fps, as it keeps the "style" of film. Subtle things like the motion blur produced at that framerate and how we see/expect the movement in the screen are altered when the framerate changes.

As with a lot of things, it depends on what you want to achieve!

You are very right on your main point, but some nitpicks on your data:

* Your data is for all workers including part-time workers (including students and part time for lifestyle reasons like parenting). Full time work pay averages are quite a bit higher - median at £28k, 90th percentile at £56k. In London where the housing lottery problem is more extreme, it is partly because pay is also higher - full time annual median at £35k, 90th percentile at £75k.
* The median earner doesn't buy property - the people who buy houses are the prime-age segment who earn quite a bit more.
Sure why not?

Show HN: Bender – a Deep Learning framework for iOS
The problem is that I don't think you can build a nice feeling about yourself, in a non-narcissistic way, if you receive a lot of negative feedback from your peers. So while I agree with your conclusion that self-compassion helps with self-esteem, I don't think you can get self-compassion without having peer approval.
Hey! I work at Xmartlabs and we have built Bender: a library to build and run Neural Networks on iOS.

As it uses Metal under the hood, it takes advantage of the device GPU, so it runs fast and supports real-time applications.

It also allows to run TensorFlow models, so it should be easy to run your existing model.

If you guys could provide feedback, it would be cool!

There are about 20 factors right now, which I've been tuning over time. They are applied as I'm able to get the data for the talk. Here is a selection-

1. Is the publisher of the talk good? (whitelist)

2. Is the talk referenced in social media (e.g. HN)

3. Safe for work (i.e. you could use in a lunch and learn)

4. Length (15-50 minutes preferred)

5. Is the speaker a keynote level speaker?

6. Are there closed captions? Can the video be embedded?

7. How often does the speaker say 'um' (or similar)

8. Is the talk in English (there are some in Russian and Arabic, but only small collections)

9. Are there notable audio quality issues (channel balance)

10. If it's a historic talk, older talks get higher ranking

11. If it's a technical talk, these get lower ranking, unless you filter to that

12. Is the speaker influential enough to have a wikipedia article?

13. Has the speaker written books?

14. What is the role of the institution that sponsored the talk (conferences are neutral, think tanks, etc lose some ranking)
The classic tabloid approach is, blatant lie on the front page, followed by small print retraction a week later on page 17. That's assuming that someone is libelled; a lot of media lying doesn't libel anyone. For instance, "no evidence of global warming" is obviously a lie, but no one is libelled.

Some media (many British tabloids, for instance) essentially considers being sued for libel part of the cost of doing business; they make more money lying than they're forced to pay out over lies.

> Of course you can. People deposit BTC in your bank, and you then loan that out to others while telling the depositor that they can withdraw at any time.

First, without a change in bank legislation and/or rules, I'm not sure a bank could take bitcoins as a deposit. Second, even if they could, if a bank loaned out more bitcoins than it possessed it would be subject to the possibility of a run on depositor's bitcoins. Finally, unlike fiat currency, the central bank in order to end the run could not produce "temporary" new bitcoins to make depositors "whole". I use quotation marks because sometimes new fiat is not temporary and all depositors in the system are not necessarily made whole.

The examples given for "vitamin" and "painkiller" are poor, or at lease not describing differences in products, but in marketing strategy. Also, the idea that "vitamins" are poor product is betrayed by the success of many, many madly successful "vitamin" products, not least including literal vitamins.

The product-load-feature that is described in the entrepreneur.com article as a "vitamin" mere seems poorly marketed. Keeping your e-business platform up-to-date with your products is very much something that can raise revenue or lower costs (or, if not, it's not actually a product at all, vitamin or not). On the other example, the healthcare payments solution, why would you not expect the provider of the existing invoicing solution to "just" enable some sort of upfront payment to lower bed debts, if this is really a problem?

(Also, dismissing business ideas on the basis that someone else would already be doing it if it's actually a problem seems to be a great way to never be successful in business)

You're right that total memory can be a tradeoff since any GC will necessarily have some space overhead, the question is how much, and whether you can accept some time tradeoff in exchange for less space. So again it all really depends on the GC implementation (or implementations, e.g. standard Java can swap implementations too). Remember that Java was originally designed to run on embedded systems, Lisp has been used on very tiny hardware, and GC theory has been developing from at least the 60s. Memory is plentiful compared to those days.

My go-to reference when getting into GCs is http://gchandbook.org/ and it covers all this in the beginning. One old study tried a particular GC algorithm with Java and some various program benchmarks and found to match perfect manual allocation time (which will be better than in practice) you'll need about 5x the minimum memory, 3x gives you 17% overhead. I think anywhere from 1.5x to 3x is normal in practice since it depends on the application itself. There are tradeoffs everywhere and it's great Rust offers another one.

I thought JVM startup time was a dead horse. :) Sure native beats it, so does Python, but not by much these days.
>I think we've reached a point in society where having your livelihood taken from you is the same as being jailed, aka "thrown in cages".

That's society saying that one's behavior is unacceptable and that it won't do business with them. I find that perfectly acceptable. Its not being forced by a single entity, but rather a general consensus is reached among everyone.

My personal-often-difficult journey through life tells me this...there are at least two types of self-esteem, and probably several more.

Achievement-esteem of course has to do with the trophy stuff and doing things your peers can't do as well. I excelled at this sort of thing and have all sort of Al Bundy-type anecdotes I'm sure no one wants to hear.

The much more important type of self-esteem is the one that forms much earlier in life and is instilled by your parents love and devotion, and is the one that is much more important to your future-self's emotional well being.

My personal experience tells me this one drives addiction and probably many criminal behaviors as we get older.

As a proponent of the Einstein's block universe theory, I often wonder if everything is already baked in and we are just what we are destined to be anyway, so what does it matter how we feel really?

"The Fed had assets worth $858 billion on its book in the week ended on Aug 1, 2007 just before the start of the financial crisis"

From http://www.investopedia.com/insights/how-will-fed-reduce-bal..., the Fed now has $4.5 TRILLION in assets. IOW, they have injected $3.6T into the economy by pushing buttons on computers to buy shit from banks so banks wouldn't have to keep them on their books and take risks.
