I think this is the best question so far :)

After an informal poll of ~30 of our scientists/engineers, ~8 said they subscribe to the many-worlds interpretation [1] [2] of quantum mechanics. To be honest, this is a discussion that comes up surprisingly infrequently at the office!

This result reminds me of Sean Carroll's "Most Embarrassing Graph in Modern Physics" [3]. When top theoretical physicists are polled, it seems like no interpretation of quantum mechanics even takes the majority! In my view, the lack of consensus around this (after ~100 years) underscores the strangeness of the theory.

I should mention that David Deutsch (one of the pioneers of quantum computing), Steven Hawking, Max Tegmark, Sean Carroll, John Preskill, and many other prominent physicists prefer the many-worlds interpretation (citation needed).

If you like the "leveraging the multiverse" view of quantum computing, be sure to watch David Deutsch's video lectures [4]! In his view, multiple universes is the way to explain the power of a quantum computer.

I'm sure anyone selling their user's email addresses will o know about this and strip out the + suffix from any gmail addresses in their list.
Both of those are runtime errors, though.

The "type safe" guys like to pretend that their approach can catch all that stuff at compile time. It does catch a certain class of error, but at the cost of making the code take much longer to write. That doesn't work in a world where your competitor is iterating five times while you're still building the first one. Excellent way to get your milkshake drunk, that.

That's a shame, I like Mixer so much more than Twitch. Twitch at this point feels like MySpace, with all the custom bullshit sprinkled around. Mixer is nicer and clean, and f-a-s-t. I'm waiting for the Mixer apple tv app and I'll be all set.

Afaik this whole "satellite/international water" scenario was suggested to prevent government agencies from forcing access to sensitive data trough legal means.
If your data is so insensitive, that you can have it just sitting there accessible by anybody, then you might as well just put the data on regular public servers and not bother with the effort of building a "space server".

CronAlarm https://www.cronalarm.com - A cron / scheduled job monitoring service.

My main job requires a ridiculous amount of file and data transfers that are mostly scheduled to run during off-peak hours. I needed a way to centralize the results of these jobs in order to keep tabs on things. I built this as an in-house tool and then discovered a few services already existed for this. I thought my solution offered some things these others didn't, and if somebody was paying these other services I might have some success as well. It's been a lot of fun, and if anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them.

Since it seems to be a thing to report that X person specializing in machine learning has moved from Y company to Z, it makes me wonder if other areas of computer science is seen as relevant by the general public.

One rarely hears Dr. John Doe from Florida State University (or insert non-Standford university here) in Distributed systems has moved from Microsoft Research to NetApp. These are arbitrary names. The point is you rarely hear about people from other areas of CS outside of machine learning/universities outside of Stanford moving from one company to another. The field of CS is vast and there are multitude of practical and theoretical problems outside of machine learning that are worth looking into (ones that aren't currently considered hip or cool by the public).
Lots of people watch Twitch. I'm a Starcraft fan and it's basically the only service I would use to watch streams. I might float over to YouTube if a user has a show, someone like Day[9].

Regarding ads there's a few different ways it happens. Sometimes the stream itself will have ads, this is most noticable with Korean content when they start putting up ads for Korean ISPs or mobile apps. The other way ads happen is through the Twitch platform itself and these are what you're most likely used to seeing on YouTube. Targeting is okay but not the best, solvable problem though.

eSports might seem like a joke still but I guarantee that a lot of people don't feel that way and follow them in the same way that football teams are followed. It's entertainment like any other.
He is one of a very few PhD students whose work I'd heard of and followed before they graduated. He had a great & informative blog, too.
No, I'm not an expert, but I've seen plenty of artifacts that are made from both fossil ivory and modern ivory. They simply don't look alike, not even to a casual glance.

How many exampes of both have you seen, in person?

I won't dispute that fossil ivory could possibly be bleached to look like modern ivory (which would have no effect on the elephants or arguably a positive effect, since it would be eating some of the market for the modern stuff), or that modern ivory could be stained to look like fossil ivory (which would devalue it).

I just don't see any economic incentive to do either one.
SPARQL is not an API framework as much as it is a query language. Many powerful graph databases are queried via SPARQL.
Are there queries that SPARQL can perform over a triplestore that cannot be done with SQL over normalized data? Perhaps not.

But data normalization to that end is a moving target, while a bag of subject-predicate-object statements are quite doable. This, I believe, is a uniquely powerful characteristic of linked data / graph query languages and protocols.

To that end, agree with the comment above that GraphQL is mighty exciting.
How can you chat with your streamer when the live chat feed is a massive spam box due to the sheer volume of users? Unless of course you're watching the lesser known streamers.

Learning to Reason with Neural Module Networks
Your complaint is the equivalent of striding into a concert for 12-20 year olds, and then complaining about the loud noise.

You've got to consider the target audience for video games like HearthStone, as well as the amount of users that will be there.

No amount of "moderation" will solve that. Ever. If you expect a good conversation with tens of thousands of people at once... you need to adjust your expectations.

I'm confused. Isn't SPARQL a query language for RDF? I've used SPARQL extensively against triple stores. It's quite handy and pretty easy to pick up once you grok how RDF is structured. I wouldn't even compare it with the concept of RESTful APIs--they're attacking two different problems.
But Google will probably phase out Android once their new OS Fuchsia comes out mainstream.... Ubuntu touch/mobile should hang out for a while longer.
Resurrecting Apple ][ code from a 1980 B movie
Note that they give the webapp sudo root access on the Raspberry Pi that runs the access point's captive portal. This is borderline security incompetence: https://github.com/iadgov/goSecure/blob/master/scripts/pi_mg...
I saw the examples differently; first the author notes that it is easy to mask a private attribute and that docs would not help, I believe this was its main point.

secondly and less importantly he notes that (with some weird naming practice though) _Foo__bar might again look like something you could define. here i'm stretching my python knowledge so i could be wrong (for example i don't know if hinheritance affects the extended name...)

Anyhow i think the first one was the main point: "accidental and hard to debug modification of private field"

Snappy's Git history starts at basically the same time (literally one week apart) as Flatpak, and both of them only became viable recently. Snappy is written in three languages (Go, C, and Python) and two of those are not as popular for Linux low level infrastructure projects, Flatpak is written in one language. Flatpak was developed by an independent developer, Snappy was developed almost exclusively at Canonical it seems. Snappy is also GPLv3, where Flatpak is LGPL; while this is a minor issue for workstation and server users, on kiosk/embedded systems the anti-tivoization requirements of GPLv3 can be an issue.

Snappy has higher memory requirements, takes up more disk space. Flatpak is implemented in about half as much code (granted with slightly different feature sets) despite being written in C rather than Go.

And despite these signals, I don't see any broad community "antagonism" towards Snappy at the moment. You can find an angry blog post on almost any topic, doesn't mean the opinions are popular. I don't feel any particular way about it since it seems to do something at least a little different than the competition. For example, Flatpak only really tries to sandbox desktop applications, much like .app directories on OS X.

It is a little suspect that Canonical always shows up with their own version of something which everyone else (SUSE, Arch, Red Hat, [Oracle/Novell]) mysteriously can't even manage to build and package successfully. In the case of Snappy, I think it's more or less a coincidence that it started within seven days of Flatpak. It might turn out to be better (or serve a completely different purpose). Another thing in favour of Snappy is that at least snapd and snap-confine (but not snapcraft!) are widely packaged for distributions other than Ubuntu.

The thing is, the rest of the industry is running on independent contributors. These independents manage to widely distribute and standardize on the best. Meanwhile, Canonical consistently goes off on their own and builds something that ultimately nobody can even package (Mir, AppArmor, Unity), let alone adopt.

Canonical clearly wants to differentiate, and that's entirely their right, but their differentiation factors often seem to wither and die after a couple years of bragging and some small progress.
