it was 5bi spent for entertainment. Just like lots of other billions are everywhere in the world.

just because it was in a country you perceive as poor and failed it shocks you.

yeah, it probably had corruption and half that money disappeared, just like on the rich events I listed above.

But, this is the same mentality that demonize food stamps and social programs for the poor in your rich country that are not 100% focused on making those poor people complacent and effective workers.

To add to what you said, rice should also be cheaper. Add rice to the mix or cook it separately,

Cheaper, better good with a nice calorific yield.

I'm still missing the insight into websockets that Chrome offers. The network monitor can see websockets being made, but there is no way to see the data inside the data frames.

There are of course extensions that fix this but in my experience they are heavy and slow down the debugger.

I really hope this feature will be added soon (or has been added without me noticing it)

>Do you still live at home with your parents? Some people grow up and move out. So will humanity if it will be responsible.

Sure. But imagine you have destroyed your home by your own carelessness. Do you think it is proper to abandon your old home, for a new one. What guarantee is there that you will not mess this new home just as you did with the old one? The idea is that only if you can fix the mess you have caused in the first place, you can be expected to maintain a new home...

>Should the colonists have stayed in Europe and tried to solve their social problems first before moving over the ocean to the Americas?

What did it cost moving over the ocean to Americas? It did took resources that could be used to fix problems in Europe and used it for their journey?

You see, here what being advocated is that massive amounts of money, be spent for a cause that extremely improbably, using a solution that is extremely unlikely to work.

Now this massive amounts of money, could be allocated to implement real solution to real problems we are having right now..

I'm a founder too and had a story similar to yours. There's much more to working at a company than cash and equity: Learning fast, good people around you, climbing up the career ladder much faster, freedom and autonomy.

It's just when you've got neither of these perks that you should start searching - because if you don't have that side either, you could as well go to a high paying corporate job. And then I'm on the side of the employees: Loyalty is important, but it's not a one-way street.
What? Why not? The OP is explicitly asking for advice. My advice is to work for a business that makes money.
Thanks for the interesting links! But why the mixed feelings? Do you think vendors should hold off on selling a product that makes them money now to see what comes out of a single, highly specific project in five years?

> However, they recently announced that the July 1 salary review that everyone was promised will be deferred.

The company is obviously facing a cash crunch, but to me this is the key bit and why I would start shopping my resume if I were in your shoes. Management will have known about the cash crunch or should at least have anticipated it was a possibility for a while now, and should not have set expectations that they were unlikely to meet. The rest of the actions look like prudent cost-cutting measures, but if you can't trust that management will honor their promises today what guarantees do you have that they will do so in the future?

As a non-founder (i.e. very low equity upside), it's not for you to make compromises to keep their high-upside baby alive. Put your own interests first and find an employer that doesn't require you to subsidize their growth.

Also, if I had a dollar for every time a founder has told me that funding is coming in "months, if not weeks" .... well, you can guess the rest.

Amazon’s Grocery Ambitions Are Far Bigger Than Whole Foods
If you really value people not abandoning ship during a crisis, do you know what you do? Have them sign a contract for a specific length of time so they are no longer at-will employees, and compensate them accordingly, because that loyalty to your company has an opportunity cost to them.

If loyalty during a crisis is valuable to your business but you do not intend to compensate people for that loyalty, do you know what that's called? Exploitation.

If you really don't feel like loyalty is something to be bought or sold, then you'd better make sure that whatever voluntary loyalty you expect from your employees is reciprocated by you, the employer. Like, assurances that layoffs are off the table, etc. But even that's not ideal, because it could put you in a position where you have to sacrifice the business rather than go back on your word.
> like Olympics, f1, world cup, TED, etc etc.

It's disingenuous to claim that I lump those in the same category.

Let's focus on my 'more for show than for benefit' qualification.

> it was 5bi spent for entertainment. Just like lots of other billions are everywhere in the world.

Do you mean 'just like other billions everywhere else spent on entertainment' or 'just like other billions everywhere else spent'. I'm not sure you're accurately reflecting my views by suggesting that I think entertainment has equal value to non-entertainment activities.

> just because it was in a country you perceive as poor and failed it shocks you.

Yeah, so stop right there.

I was working for the treasury department for NSW at the time that we were gearing up for the Sydney Olympics (later re-branded the NSW Olympics (later re-branded, as funding was sought further up the chain, as the Australian Olympics). There's nothing imperial, us-or-them, poor-vs-rich country about this. Take that particular card off the table.

> But, this is the same mentality that demonize food stamps and social programs for the poor in your rich country that are not 100% focused on making those poor people complacent and effective workers.

It really, really, is not.
Few people use PyTorch largely because it is relatively new (0.1.12). It even doesn't have distributed training capabilities (coming in 0.2). Your arguments don't say anything about frameworks themselves. It is unfair!

When people say PyTorch is better for research, they mean it is more flexible, and it is easier to implement non-trivial network architectures with it, such as recursive network, which is a cumbersome task for TensorFlow. MXNet's documentation provides a good overview to these two different styles (http://mxnet.io/architecture/program_model.html).
The study is inconclusive at this point.

> In this case it makes sense to have the Version as a generic parameter to the class

No it really doesn't. It makes sense to use inheritance properly:

public interface IVersion
{
string GetVersion();
}

public class Version : IVersion
{
string version;

public Version(string version)
{
this.version = version;
}

public string GetVersion() =>
version;
}

public class AppleVersion : IVersion
{
string version;

public AppleVersion(string version)
{
this.version = version;
}

public string GetVersion() =>
"apple-" + version;
}

public abstract class Entity
{
public IVersion Version { get; private set; }

public Entity(IVersion version) =>
Version = version;
}

public abstract class Apple : Entity
{
public readonly AppleVersion AppleVersion;

public Apple(AppleVersion version) : base(version)
{
AppleVersion = version;
}
}

That allows for "When we're working with an IApple instance we want to be able to have access to the version as IAppleVersion", as well as general access to the IVersion from an Entity.

If you don't like the storage overhead, you could just downcast knowing that the Version is an AppleVersion:

public abstract class Apple : Entity
{
public AppleVersion AppleVersion => Version as AppleVersion;

public Apple(AppleVersion version) : base(version)
{
}
}

> I'm not sure that's clear but I hope you can see the problem that I'm trying to solve. I think it's the disconnect with wanting to be able to access both more specific and more general interfaces (and their properties) that causes trouble.

You're describing issues with inheritance, not generics.

> I stand by my opinion though that you should be careful and in some situations be able to provide non-generic interfaces rather than requiring each method and class in a library to be generic, but that's only my opinion man :)

That's fine, you're entitled to your opinion, and if it works for you that's great. But your original comment was very 'matter of fact'. I've not seen anything that has communicated to me an issue with generics; and every example so far should have been implemented differently to the way you state (in my opinion).

If you'd like to explore the ideas further:

Carter's 8 etudes and a fantasy's 7th etude is just the note G (1949) and Ligeti's Musica ricercata's (1951-3) first movement almost only A (the entire work explores having a limited number of notes).

In terms of playing with harmonics, the spectralists (starting with Grisey and Murail in the 1970s) originated the idea formally whilst it is informally explored by many minimalists (the most relevant to this article's piece would be Terry Riley's In C, 1964).

Well, us patriots would have found some reason to despise him anyway.. so why not get a room with a view?
Think I found my opposite in you. Was curious about your posting history after reading yours on Assange. Have to be careful lately as it seems on all platfroms there is sponsored content of a narrative. Though I would say that isn't you in this case. However, the advocation for violent revolution when you don't see your leashes is disturbing. Which keys of the kingdom do you hold, in which would enable it to work?

What would you say if what we new as individualism today was actually just a consumer ideology? And that what is good is entirely subjective and yo save it is like stopping a fish from drowning?

Perhaps our problem is that history has repeated itself too man times. But a world that is not born in flame, but painted with the knowledge of it. Perhaps thats the day we finally get to see the otherside of what is possible for humanity. Can't it be a wonderful adventure?
This gets complicated at public events where something goes wrong and the reported story is not consistent with the facts. Bystanders can witness the event with their own eyes and then go home to watch the news, to then believe the news-worthy version of the event. A spiral of silence sets in so all observers of the original event fall under the same spell and assume they are wrong and adjust their view to the world view rather than what they saw with their own eyes.

At public events you also get a completely different view of what happened depending on whom you ask. Not everyone gets the complete story or picks up on all the clues. People bring their own expectations of what they expect to see and have cognitive dissonance to make it so they do see what they see and not necessarily what happened.

The JFK incident was in this realm of unreliable eyewitness memory, those that thought they saw and heard the second shooter changed their view over time to align with the accepted story. This is how it works.
Sure, but what I'm curious about is: is that a real problem in practice that organizations have been fighting, or is it just a problem in theory? If I told an organization, "I've built a blockchain based time tracking system that is 100% impossible to be tampered with", would they say, "oh thank goodness this is a huge problem for us!", or would they say, "oh that's sort of neat but our tampering related loss is already within acceptable bounds"? My sense is that it would be the latter.

> You mean like... mysql with encryption and sharding? So my company's mysql database is a private blockchain?

No. Not the same. There is more than one use case for encryption. The kind you are talking about protects unauthorized reading and writing of the data. The kind the blockchain uses protects the data from being edited and identifies who wrote the data but does not protect it from being read. Similar to PGP in email.

All data on the blockchain is readable (i.e. not encrypted in the same sense as MySQL) but it is cryptographically signed but you can ensure that:

- Only people with the appropriate private keys can perform certain actions

- Historical data cannot be edited because editing it would corrupt the entire database (after the point of the edit)

Your MySQL example has neither blocks or a chain. Encryption is not sufficient. The encryption of each committed group of transactions (block) needs to be dependent on previous blocks (chain).

There's a joke in Kazakhstan: Wanna see your pension? Visit Expo.

Nazarbaev wants to promote Kazakhstan as one of the regional leaders. May be it'll yield some benefits in the future. But right now many citizens share your view.
Not holding management responsible makes me think you might have owned a company.

Let me spell out the compact that undergirds capitalism: employees don't take risks and are paid a constant stream of cash, owner's do take risk, and it is up to them to ensure there is enough capital buffer to meet their constant stream obligations. Employees do the work, management/owners ensure they get paid.
I'm heading to the Expo in August, and to be honest I didn't expect to be inundated with crowds -- so this article is of no surprise.

With that being said; I think what Kazakhstan is doing with their foreign policy, tourism and re-imagining their capital is commendable though.
They've just dropped tourist visa requirements this year, so many countries have unfettered travel access now; soon they will convert (back) to the Latin alphabet from Cyrillic to be more accessible in the global market; and Astana looks like a real jewel.
Their economy and living conditions are rising, and for the ninth largest country in the world it's sad that basically no-one travels there.

Whilst the "if you build it, they will come" motto hasn't necessarily happened overnight, I think that the facilities that have been constructed for the fair will ultimately become a solid investment over time.
you kind of proved my point. I do lump all those events in the same bag and my point was that most people fail to see it and see the ones they like as culturally enriching and the ones they don't fancy as waste.

the only problem on the article's event was lack of public. but I bet lots of local people wanted to go but lacked the means. just like the Olympics. but it doesn't show much because the Olympics manages to import rich foreigners just fine.

I'm sorry but this is facile. "Stress" and "problems" cause people to smoke only in the broadest sense of the word "cause". Something else is at work, here, and my hunch is that it's cultural. I've found that in much of blue-collar America, smoking is something of a status symbol.

It is interesting that you mention recursive networks. There are only a few dozens of researchers who work with recursive networks, and they are all accounted for, we know what tools they use. They use Chainer and DyNet.
