Thanks. This seems unconfirmed but pretty believable, so strike Spotify off my list.
People spent most of the 2000s predicting the collapse of the housing bubble.

Coins are strange, because appetite for non-speculative legal use seems to remain low, but appetite for coins continues to be strong. It does seem to be valuable as an unregulated speculation platform...
I can't claim to have any insight into group psychology here so I'll only speak for myself. I'm much more interested in the aspect of the story that has Marisa Mayer failing to save a sinking ship than I am interested in the ludicrous golden parachute. There is something interesting to discuss about the former but nothing interesting to discuss about the latter.
Plain text should be the only option for medical records. PDFs and drop-in Word documents should be frowned on.
I misphrased that point, agreed. It's not classic driver-driven synchronous training, as you would do in tensorflow. It's using all-reduce (not available in tensorflow yet, i think).
The effect was probably exaggerated, otherwise you would just see a smooth circle.
it's not unreasonable, but it's also unrelated to a lot of the issues Uber is coming under fire for.
FWIW, I had a very similar experience and have a friend who had the same. Very off-putting. I was in the second round on-site and more or less felt like I probably had the job in the bag, still at the end when I met w/ the hiring manager I told him I appreciated the time but it wasn't for me. And wow, that pissed him off. Good riddance.

The WSJ has gone way downhill after the Newscorp acquisition. The WSJ is now a tabloid. The misinformed comments on the Yahoo deal are just a symptom of readers who are not really involved in finance or public company governance, and do not understand what MM was hired to do. She served the shareholders very well. Yes it is extremely disappointing to see all the delightful little tech properties that are now part of the Evil Empire. But, they already sold out, and furthermore, that has nothing to do with MM's performance. Seems like most people here agree she did a great job or at least did not screw up a good deal for Yahoo's shareholders. It may look easy but I suspect there were very difficult corporate politics to navigate. Maybe someone will write a nice book about this deal in a couple years and we can get the juicy gossip then.
But the point is that how you say things matters. In a more corporate environment there's rules about "relationships with colleagues". In Uber's case it's more like "don't have sex behind the bar (unless she says yes)".

In a corporate environment there are no emails telling people not to throw a keg off a roof because it is already expected that you behave with a certain level of decorum. Travis sending an email worded that poorly tells us a lot about his thought processes and because it's directly from him to his workforce it specifically tells us how it is that he perceives the employees of Uber. Mainly that he's a "bro" and his employees are all "bros" too so go have a fun time and do whatever bro, just don't get me in trouble. That's a problem.

I didn't say they were not. The issue is they usually do not hold the data and present the data (ie WYSIWYG). The python and R only are the formulaic part. I have not seen a format where you can toggle the data or formula and see results as well as Excel does.

Beautiful paragraph:
"In a magnificent essay titled “Work and Pleasure,” Adorno dissects one of the most perilous such modern myths — the tyranny of work/life balance. Just a few years after his compatriot Josef Pieper — an obscure German philosopher of extraordinary prescience — argued for reclaiming the dignity of leisure amid a culture of workaholism, Adorno examines the psychosocial origin of the toxic work/life divide that fractures our inner wholeness."

The "Justice System" isn't really about justice.

There was witness tampering by the police and jury misconduct. Either of those should have been enough to generate a new trial on procedural grounds.

I do not know if you're familiar with the case in those documentaries but more than a decade after their conviction, new material was discovered and a DNA test linked a new and different suspect to the crime and under the Arkansas DNA statute, the convicted men should have received a hearing on the matter.

The state's attorney argued that the legislative intent of the statute was only to use DNA evidence to prove the guilt of people who had already been found guilty at trial and that no new evidence should be admitted to the hearing.

The Arkansas Supreme Court ruled in favor of the defendants.

Bitcoin blockchain has a limit of 1MB of transactions in a block. This was set in 2013, when Satoshi put it in place. He didn't give much explanation for it, but it was probably to avoid a spam attack. He said it could be raised later: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1347.msg15139#msg151...

There are arguments for and against increasing the blocksize.

For:

- Support more transactions per second

- Lower fees for users

Against:

- Hardfork requires all full node operators to upgrade, or they could see incorrect balances

- Lower fees mean that miners make less money

Also, generally, there are some philosophical differences between the sides. The big-block side usually wants bitcoin to be more like a payment network, wherease the small-block side typically views it more as digital gold and store of value.

I'm curious about how you think about your feelings here. What do you think makes these things seem 'awesome', to you?

When I was a kid, I definitely thought that guns were 'cool', in some sense. I thought about them, I read about them, and I desired access to them. As I grew up and came to understand that (in the general case, and certainly for hand guns and the stuff mentioned above) guns are tools designed to end human lives, it became very hard for me to see them as anything more than a tragic symbol of human littleness.

What does 'awesome' mean, to you? Does it mean that they are symbols of power? Something else?
This is a misrepresentation, but I still enjoy that you created an account to disparage behaviour that you're exhibiting yourself.
I feel like you're referencing a work/rest balance, I'm not opposed to that. I'm religious about taking one day off a week. But work/rest alternation seems very different from work/life balance to me.
Funny that it's not ∫(x²/2), though!

OK, I went and looked at the standard and it seems like they're thought about this: they allow input as either ∫(x²/2) or ∫(x^2/2) but they apparently output as ∫(x^2/2) because it's more general and editable, like if you wanted to change the exponent to something that didn't have a predefined Unicode superscript.
the only way to be in on ether is to hold it. That's true for individuals and for large institutions joining the Enterprise Ethereum Alliance. Behind the scenes, large institutions are buying up Ether and anticipating that it will become a part of the financial system (either that or it will become a shadow financial system, and they are therefore incentivized to be early adopters). There's no way to short ether or bitcoin. Everyone who is in is long. dapps don't do much right now (and there's a lot of writing about ponzi scheme dapps), but this is very early days and the flexibility of the ethereum platform is just starting to be fully understood. The article is right about the limitations of the bitcoin blockchain. Some commenters here are right about pieces like these being great advertisements for the platform and driving more buying. 1 Ether > $1000 USD in a matter of months, if not weeks.

>> That aggressive nature is both the reason they have problems and the reason they have been so successful.

It might be the reason they're currently the most successful company in that market BUT Lyft and others aren't dealing with the sort of mess Uber currently is. Maybe that aggressiveness will bite back hard enough that another company will be winning that market long-term.
Ok show me data on what percent of the market cap is from ICOs. Bancor's recent debacle raised 150 million and that is the largest ICO yet. Ethereum has a 36 billion market cap as far as I know.

Tulips have SOME intrinsic value. If doomsday comes, the world is over.. a toolip can be planted outside your house and it looks a little bit more pretty. Or maybe you can eat it.

Gold has SOME intrinsic value. It is very good for certain applications, I believe trace amounts are used in compute parts. Worst case you can make something shiny to look at, that will be rust proof and easy to shape.

What is the intrinsic value of ETH or Bitcoin? It literally has nothing to back it.

ICOs lock away ether, which makes the price rise - but there are 5x the amount of ether than BTC, so I am skeptical this is even a large % of the reason

Exactly. Let's continue this conversation after a couple years.
You have to read a lot of papers. Begin with survey papers for your field (ML is still a very broad topic, so see if you can narrow it down). Use Google Scholar to find papers by searching for various keywords pertinent to your subject. Then, you start looking at the citations (in both directions). Look at the papers that are cited by that paper, as well as the papers which cite the paper that you are looking at. Do this over and over (perhaps weeks and/or months), and you will have a good handle on the state of the art for that particular field.

Books will not give you the state of the art information, because they are outdated the moment that they are published. Wikipedia is often too light in its coverage of the latest research. Reading the latest research papers is truly the only way to know what the latest research is.

I think Satya comes from a dramatically different cultural and professional background than Ballmer and has a correspondingly different set of priorities and ideas.

The difference is like night and day. Ballmer was all about monopolization, vendor lock-in, ruling the developer community with an iron fist, and funneling all business into the proven profit centers. Nadella understands the value of interoperability, evangelizing your own tech while trying to advance community efforts, embracing open source, and developing new lines of business independent of legacy products.
I think it's a timing thing. From the boards point of view, there is value for Tk to take leave and value for Uber to have someone else at the helm.

I read somewhere that the best thing to do to cope with extreme personal tragedies is to keep oneself busy... what's better way to keep oneself busy than to work.

Unix userland tools have evolved over decades to be as efficient as possible because they have historically underpinned everything the operating system does. The faster each tool works, the faster the other tools that depend on them work. If increased efficiency results in a bug, that bug can then be fixed, making it a net gain for system stability.
I initiated my comments in this thread by proposing to change the basic laws (or at least, acknowledging that they are a big factor).

And it isn't that I expect such a discussion to not be emotionally loaded, I'm just going to reject assertions that only one sort of emotional loading is warranted.

I agree it will take a long time to impose effective restrictions on guns in the US, we should get started as soon as possible. I think looking at Britain and Australia make it clear enough that gun restrictions do make a difference (even if their more generous social welfare systems tend to lead to lower general levels of criminal violence to begin with).
Why not apply for a job?
It's probably the same kind of calculation as fix vs. buy new. If it costs you $50 to just buy a new one or $150 to hire a repairman, you'll just buy a new one.
It's sad that wanting background checks is seen as anti-gun.

The Conservatives think that HRC was going to their house and take all their guns. That wasn't her position at all.

I agree that everyone should familiarize themselves with guns but for practical self defense purposes a shotgun and a rifle are not that different. A shotgun only spreads about 8inches at a self defense range ( 10m or so ).

If the range is longer than that it's more a skirmish that Self Defense.

.22LR is the most common caliber in homicides. I'd rather have a 9mm, but the best gun is the one you can access when you need it.
These are all fair points, as is the one about not comparing a product with an open source project.

But my DO droplet, which runs all my websites, costs $10/month. All the other incredible stuff I use costs 0.

Also, recurring costs add up over time. A long term commitment to a company has unknown ramifications. My income from a new project is 0.

Now that I've been forced to think about it, I probably wouldn't pay $5/month - because (as has happened to me in the past with services I relied on), the price could easily get jacked up. And then I'm committed, or have to back out some code and implementation.

Long term external commitments with companies of unproven track record and uncertain costs make me nervous.

My new plan is to see if I can solve this reasonably well myself (at much higher development costs) and only use keygen or something like it if I really have to.

Which, btw, is exactly the thought process you don't want your pricing to instigate.
Sounds like early memories tend to make deep imprints. That's definitely my case, at least. That was a childhood memory, from growing up in Eastern Europe.

Lying as an emergent phenomenon:

> Our algorithm’s performance is only as good as the human evaluator’s intuition about what behaviors look correct, so if the human doesn’t have a good grasp of the task they may not offer as much helpful feedback. Relatedly, in some domains our system can result in agents adopting policies that trick the evaluators. For example, a robot which was supposed to grasp items instead positioned its manipulator in between the camera and the object so that it only appeared to be grasping it, as shown below.
I have a campsite reserved in Yellowstone and would drive South. I guess a good plan would be to pick a trail and go there at night so you are already on thew trail before the crowds come. Not sure about the weather though.
That certainly changes the cost-of-living, but it's not really relevant to the point about exchange rates and price differences, since most people compare prices pre-sales tax.
Sticker prices, in the US and Canada (and Europe?), don't typically include sales tax.
The elf header on my commodore seem slightly wrong. I gotta fix it. I wrote a 20,000 line compiler and I have no need of elf. It is single address map. I get the address of a kernel routine in the symbol table and simply put it in the JIT code being compiled. I never used fixed addresses. All addresses are position independnet assigned when the JIT compiler calls MALLOC to request a location to store your code. If a subsequent function wants to call your function, it looks in the table and the JIT compiler puts the address into the machine code CALL instruction. It only uses CALL REL32 because it never changes out of ring-0. It keeps all code in lowest 2GIg. It is pure 64-bit. The compiler will not make 32-bit code. I had a xeon and used 128Gig of RAM but only 2Gig was allowed for code. Don't worry. Gates was right about only needing so much memeory, but his amount wasa wrong. A nigger makes a crazy generilzation. A nigger doesn't know how much a trillion dollars is and files a lawsuit. Theuy stopped adding RAM to systems at about 8Gig. NO one really wanted more. Having 2Gig for code is enough.

The first thing is you make a character set. Commodore did not use ASCII.

Then, you make a language. When they made UNIX, they made C.
