Would it be difficult to to use this start a religious cult? Something like:

1) Lead with content that for some people mixes science and spirituality:
Quantum Approaches to Consciousness

2) Add context using sources here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mysticism

3) Add self-serving message (give me your money, I am the messiah, etc)

2) Coup de grâce: Hold up domain from an institution of high reputation:
stanford.edu
I've noticed something similar in Chicago. We have an 'eyes-on-the-street' clause in our building code, which requires a certain number of windows face the street. I've noticed a lot of buildings that are being built have 'windows' which look into some interstitial space that prevents the people in the inside from seeing the people on the street and vice versa.

I personally think that this falls under the heading of what I deem anti-social behavior. Anti-social behavior isn't limited to property crime and violence, it's anything that dehumanizes your fellow man. The people who construct their life so they only interact with exactly the people whom they want are the most anti-social people I can imagine. I personally think they should move to the suburbs if they can't stand the thought of interacting with a neighbor.

Thankfully in Chicago we have alleys, and you have to pay a yearly surcharge for the 'no parking' area created by street cuts, so there aren't many driveways crossing sidewalks.
OK, yes, that's a worthwhile clarification, thanks. I did realise this, at least at first, but it looks like I warmed to my theme too much, and then promptly forgot, only to remember again towards the end ;)

Still, I stand by my conclusion...
> pure maths can create virtual worlds in some abstract math universe

Sounds like Max Tegmark's Mathematical Universe Hypothesis.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_universe_hypothes...)
I don't recall the New York Times reporting a 90% chance of victory on election day. I recall her chances according to the Times decreasing several percentage points (down to the high 70s IIRC) during the last few days leading up to the election. If the interactive graphic you are talking about was the 'paths to victory' graphic that I'm thinking of, it probably reflected the most current polling data - which was probably already obsolete - that they had on hand at the moment.

My own observation during the days leading up to the election was that her chances of winning were decreasing at a faster rate than could be reported with reliable polling data, though I still believed that she'd eke out a win.

That thing on the link above easily does almost everything you described as unattainable for compiler and does it in automatic manner. AFAIK, it even allows your code to MPI parallelized, with optimal communication.
I have used Vue in multiple projects, after having previously made multiple attempts to learn React. Coming from Angular 1 (too frustrated to bother learning Angular 2), React was my initial preference due to name recognition and the size of its developer community. However, the steep learning curve ultimately prevented me from being productive. On the other hand, Vue's lightweight nature, as Evan describes, ended up being a breath of fresh air. I also find that the Vue component files help bring structure to more complex applications. I wouldn't say that Vue trumps React, however. At this point they are equivalent forces targeting two different audiences.
I'm actually very surprised that Whatsapp still has no Store or something akin to that. People are using Whatsapp updates to post pictures of products.

I'd like to write a little CRM myself but they don't even have an API.
Virtually all modern software vendors already write software for multiple platforms and are leaning more on cloud computing, so porting software to a new platform won't be the nightmare it used to be.

Adoption will depend on the killer features, which is currently "LTE" and "uses less power", neither of which PC users care about, so that's why this is doomed to fail.
Interesting point, though again much more complex.

[edit] Anyone reading this: Do not discard cProfile like I did. It just let me shave 900 ms off the startup time of my file manager (mentioned in a child comment). Wow!

> Because it was pretty clear the race was not that obvious.

I think that's where the confusion lies. The majority of published polls and pundit calculations pointed that way, and it was earnestly interpreted by well-intentioned journalists that 90% of polls meant 90% probability. Perhaps I'm cutting a little too deep with Hanlon's razor here, but I think systemic biases are a more likely culprit than some kind of media conspiracy.
The last thing I want is more engagement in my current relationships with cellular service companies.

If Qualcomm and Microsoft really want a game changer, they should sink some of their vast resources into making mesh networking take off.

They've done live demos of this on actual hardware, just hardware too ugly to ship.
I just wrote a comment that is nearly identical to yours.

Interesting story -- I actually moved to East Garfield Park a few years ago. I honestly thought I would never interact with anyone in the neighborhood, given the fact that I'm from a completely different socioeconomic background. I know way more people now that I have in any other neighborhood I've lived in. Everyone is outside when it is nice out.
Redundancy, Consistency, and Integrity: Derivable Data
Nice, this might get me back into KSP. Never did like the spheres of influence mechanic.
Point taken. I was just hoping that someone could shed some light on exactly why it's newsworthy.

It feels like there's a kind of schadenfreude at play, like people are delighted to see that an innovative 'new' company has any problems at all. Nobody would be the slightest bit interested in knowing if (say) Toyota had workplace accident rates 30% above average.

Or, (putting the tinfoil hat on), there's a PR 'submarine' at play here and someone stands to gain from rubbishing Tesla.
Some guidelines I like for Python optimization (and on loops specifically):

- Rule 1: profile first! Only optimize when there is a proven speed bottleneck; I like using kernprof to profile. When you do go to optimize, test it in a tight loop with time.clock().

- Go for built-in functions; you can't beat a loop written in C.

- Use intrinsic operations. An implied loop is faster than an explicit for loop, and a while loop with an explicit loop counter is even slower.

- Avoid calling functions written in Python in your inner loop. This includes lambdas. In-lining the inner loop can save a lot of time.

- Local variables are faster than globals; if you use a global constant in a loop, copy it to a local variable before the loop. And in Python, function names (global or built-in) are also global constants!

- Try to use map(), filter() or reduce() to replace an explicit for loop, but only if you can use a built-in function: map with a built-in function beats for loop, but a for loop with in-line code beats map with a lambda function!

- Check your algorithms for quadratic behavior, but notice that a more complex algorithm only pays off for large N.

There are some games on the broadcast network channels. So while you may not be seeing a majority of the games you will still be able to watch a handful of them.
OP is not talking about dedicated sports channels.

They are talking about OTA channels that play sporting events.

ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox all broadcast live sporting events of some sort.
Microsoft Has a Plan to Add DNA Data Storage to Its Cloud
I don't think a cable subscriber is the intended customer here. Most of the cable providers encrypt everything now. I think this is more aimed at OTA.
Does anyone know where I can find a list of what channels I would be able to get? Is it dependent on what state you're in?
If I produce solar energy to be stored in a few Tesla power walls for my own usage I don't see how they'll be able to tax me. I own and control all the hardware and monitoring and could modify accordingly.
The right to encrypt is the right to privacy.

Communications on the Internet are public by default; this is something that human civilization never experienced before. If you want to make your conversation or your behavior private, you have to encrypt it.

But there were many other things that human civilization never experienced before, and we adapted.

Right to encryption is, indeed, an essential natural right. People who deny it are the same people who think that everybody should have a government-supplied monitoring camera in every room of every home, and fail to understand what's wrong with it.

One issue is that the token conservatives brought on for intellectual diversity are almost always the same sort of conservative. The elitist think thank crowd that formed the Never Trump movement. It's pretty clear that outside of Northern Virginia, those guys don't represent mainstream conservative thought.

But even putting someone like Douthat on the editorial side doesn't impact the news side of the Times.

I think the NYTimes does a pretty decent job, but there is no question they missed the story of 2016 because their news reporters are all inside the bubble.

Agree that Colmes was an unglorified punching bag. Fox is the wrong entity to imitate.
Then they'd be competing with other company's money and govt's money. Like Linden dollars was already doing in 2007 (pre-bitcoin era) and IRS had to step in to make the tax obligations clear on the Second Life economy.

Since bitcoin, if you look at all the ICOs on the Ethereum platform then technically all these companies ARE issuing their currency (i.e. tokens).
I admit they take time up front to learn to use and interpret the results, but it's a valuable skill and worth doing every year or so even on smaller projects to see if there are any easy wins.
> this feature that will be useable by 0.01% of applications

If they do this right, I suspect it will be much more heavily used than that. I can already see a world where every major webapp is using this (indirectly, using a language that compiles down to this) for the performance and user experience improvements it could provide.

"there is no free will" is used by all neuroscientists I have ever worked with, and I have been a neuroscientist for 10 years. Those are not radicals. Moreover, I have never heard of a scientist who would suggest human right abuses except maybe in Nazi germany or other totalitarian regime. Questionnable changes to society, that depends on your view of the world, if you are a climate change denier then a scientist would be perceived as trying to change society in a questionable way I suppose.
On the contrary, I find that seeing myself as only a chemical machine is a very freeing experience that leads to greater happiness and contentment.

I find it strange that you can talk about concepts of 'you' being 'factually' correct or incorrect when there are very few established facts about consciousness or self - it all seems like mostly open philosophical debate from what I've seen.
