There are various levels of how rigorous evidence is. Apparently, the law in question was made based on assumptions about the materials involved, and as someone else pointed out there was a ten year gap between the mathematical explanation and actual implementation, so I guess these materials are quite complex.

Also, this does not invalidate the previous law necessarily; we still use Newton's laws because its assumptions hold under most circumstances.

Other markets like NYSE and NASDAQ have circuit breakers. If an index declines by a certain amount, all trading is halted so people can think and sort out their positions. This doesn't stop a single stock from flash crashing, but transactions during a flash crash are frequently reversed.

Yep. It's a sad state of affairs.

I guess I still feel marginally better off with Google and Apple (and Verizon Wireless, to the extent they use their network as a wedge onto my otherwise clean device).

Though when company X denies me insurance, company Y a loan...? (I helped a felon get back on track, last year; my social network score has probably taken a hit. And who knows what kind of surveillance this has opened me up for?)

I suppose I sound paranoid. But I ran into how arbitrarily exclusionary insurance companies can be, back some decades ago in my 20's. One routine appointment in isolation, in the medical history they requested. One circa $100 charge for same, with no adverse diagnosis. Nonetheless, application denied.

The Chinese might want to survey me for the access I have. Might want personal information for leverage or for some future purge, if and when the U.S. really does go down the crapper and gets taken over (behind the scenes, if not overtly; look at ongoing ownership bids).

The U.S. wants to survey me to maximize profit extraction, and to make sure I don't risk same.
It won't double it but it will be close in some locales. It would also slightly decrease the cost of a heck of a lot of things.
Actually I think it could be quite relevant. The mere fact that origami doesn't allow cuts is what makes this so attractive from a texturing standpoint.

From what I can tell, it appears that there are many locations where the original plane overlaps. If it is possible to easily calculate adjacency for those triangles, you would be able to properly do filtering lookups.

Another question is how much overlapping there is. The more there is, the more you potentially waste texture resolution.

Still, cool idea...

...in the relatively rare case where a credible competitor exists. If you're renting, you also need the leasing office onside, and it's not rare that they'll have an arrangement with Comcast such that new tenants obtaining first-time service get a short initial discount period, the better to acquire them as customers.
API design guidelines – best practices for building a user-friendly API
Why don't we have both? And then some more.
It is an awesome REPL with a bit of Excel feel. Runs the code whenever you change it and displays the results in real-time. It is also great for interactive data sources (like web services), where you get the results as soon as they appear upstream.
The whiteboard part is super important too. Visual representation is great for design and brainstorming. Even more so, when it provides runtime feedback about your designs. And it gets even more important with collaboration. So at this point we've got a collaborative whiteboard that actually runs the computations.
There is, however, one more part to the story. Neither whiteboard, nor a REPL are well suited for implementing the final, production software. We aim to blur the lines between the design and implementation phases, allowing to deploy whatever has just been "sketched".

Sorry dude, I'm going to have to step in; you're being too strong in your counter attitude. I've been writing and teaching JavaScript professionally for many years, and while I don't hate the language, I don't blame those who do. After learning and using a statically typed language, it becomes absurd how much effort you have to put in to debug a JavaScript type error – a problem that is amplified by the language design.

What happens when you add 1 + undefined? Other dynamic languages make the sane choice of throwing an error immediately. JavaScript, however, silently gives you back NaN and continues chugging along. By the time a "real" error happens, you're stack traces away from the cause.

What happens when you call a function f with one argument when it expects two? Other languages would throw immediately. Instead, JavaScript silently sweeps in an undefined and continues chugging along. Combine that with the other flaw I mentioned, and your runtime error will, again, be distant from the true cause.

There's a reason TypeScript is getting insanely popular. It's the only way to code large JavaScript projects and stay sane.

TumbleSeed Postmortem
Looking up Winder on a map makes the problem a little more clear: the layout of roads there is awful. There's no nearby freeways, and the major roads look like spaghetti.

The Dallas area did a very good job of organizing outward sprawl into rings like a sequoia. There are edge cities, sometimes more than one, within each ring (Far North Dallas & Richardson, Plano, Frisco & McKinney, Prosper...). Freeways delineate the rings (380 isn't a freeway yet, but plans are in the works), six-lane arterial roads are laid out in a nice, neat grid even extending into the exurbs' exurbs, and subdivisions are packed closely together to get more use out of the same space (I honestly can't stand how suburbs in eastern states look rural to my eyes... I grew up in a suburb filled with single-family homes with yards, and we still don't waste space like eastern states do).

For example, compare the northern sprawl of Dallas https://goo.gl/maps/qhK6geVaYKz with the northeastern sprawl in Atlanta: https://goo.gl/maps/PZsPw6YUyD92

This is very common among big box stores as far as I know–often companies will make a special cheaper version just to get the deal done so they can sell in these big chain stores.

I often keep an eye on the product number if I'm every buying electronics or tools at a big box store to see if it's different than what I find online for what is ostensibly the same exact product, as that can be an indication that you're buying a cheapened version.
Nope, not going to agree on that one.

Trucks getting cut off is the norm in many areas. Punishing people for normal is generally not smart.
I'll be in the hood for the protests, so if anyone is interested in a HN meetup... mail's in profile.

The protests themselves... I'm not sure what to expect. The German radical left is waaaay more peaceful than in the past, and the numbers have shrunk, plus the usual leftie infighting (militance debate, the old Israel question to name the core differences), so I think the German protests will be mostly a couple ten thousand people marching, with the occasional thrown bottle or stone plus a huge load of marijuana smoking (at least it was this during the OSZE summit in late 2016).

What I can't estimate at all is the role the anarchists from Italy, Greece and France will be - they're really militant, and for the young ones, they don't have anything to lose and therefore are willing to risk much more, including a couple years in jail, for protesting against those who put them into their position.

What I'm also not sure is what the cops will do. There will be the usual battalion of "chilled cops" (Bereitschaftspolizei) who will do the major parts of policing, but fuck I'm scared of our riot cops (BFE/USK). Had my fair share of run-ins with them, and there are a LOT of them who enjoy punching and peppering left-wing demonstrators.

As a side note, if anyone not from Germany is planning to attend: avoid being near any cop with "BFE" or "USK" written on the front label or on the shoulder/arm label. They're dangerous, and even more so when they feel they've lost control. Also, there will be a huge presence of horseback police and dog units, stay away as far as possible from these. Especially horseback police are known to literally ride into assemblies of people.
I've known small IT contractors to act similarly, in order to obtain free hardware which they could then resell on the used market or repurpose for their own use.

>For whatever reason, the mayor of Vancouver and its immediate surrounding satellite cities (Burnaby, Richmond, etc.) are fighting hard to not expand the road system. Instead they are 'pushing' for better mass (not rapid) transit between the out-rim suburb and the core cities.

Not expanding the road system is a counter-intuitive strategy to reduce traffic jams, see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7965077

I won't pass judgement on whether it works or not, but it does appear to be supported by logic and data, so those mayors aren't just acting on NIMBYism.

The Toxic Glorification of Working Hard
In order to get our current rate at a new building I had to send Comcast a copy of our bill. The bill they sent us.
What is difficult about switching when theres actually competitors. I finally live in an area with multiple competitors and it was fairly painless.

Comcast tripled my bill for internet after one year and was also charging me for occasionally going over their data limit they set after I had been a customer for a couple months. I called Comcast and specified the day I wanted my service to end and had it coincide with the day I scheduled for RCN to connect my internet. The only annoying part was having to tell them more than once that there was no discount that would make me want to stay a customer since they were just going to pull the same crap in another year.
For me a low carb diet had a very mentally calming effect, and occasional bouts of actual euphoria. Its one of those "easy to break" things though if you happen to go for a little too much bread one day. Having also tried GHB in the long-ago when it was legal to consume, the effects were quite a bit different, and while I might have a bit more energy on low-carb it wasn't the "liquid ecstasy" effect that people describe with GHB.
The Decentraland Development Roadmap
On another node, Larry Summers told an interesting anecdote regarding Argentina recently:

> In 1900, Argentina was closer to the United States economically than most of Europe is today. Today, we think of Argentina as a poor developing country. Argentine growth only has lagged American growth by 7/10 of a 1 percent over all of that period. So when you get things wrong, when you have dysfunctional governance, it doesn't undo you in a year or five years or even a decade. It does over time.

Argentina's "deal-based" system where initiative comes from the charismatic leader have been outperformed by the ruled-based system prominent in US or Germany.

I've had to deal with Comcast. I've known independent cable installation contractors, too, one of them being an uncle of mine - this being back when his crack habit was in full swing.

I find it a lot easier to buy a wide variance in skill and diligence among contractors, combined with a lack of QA oversight from their monopolistically disinterested corporate client, than I do some kind of shadowy, wide-ranging conspiracy to cloak deliberately anticompetitive behavior behind an obfuscating smokescreen of apparent incompetence.
How Techies in Silicon Beach Treat Depression
It's a lot further away than 20 years. It really won't be practical for autonomous trucks to share the roads with passenger vehicles using the existing infrastructure. After a handful or more major accidents with multiple deaths involving autonomous trucks, there will be no public support for them.

And there will be major accidents with multiple deaths, since the average passenger car driver is so unskilled. No software can account for every idiotic move made by the typical car driver, and big trucks take a lot of room and time to stop. A few lawsuits later, all the financial gains will disappear for the trucking companies and drivers are back in the seat.

I could see in 20 years a system where computer assisted driving automates much of the trip, much like commercial aircraft operate now.
Seems like in that case you would train both models separately on different cost functions. By phrasing it as a layer I was expecting both the SVM and the DNN could be trained simultaneously.
you are entitled to your opinion, and i appreciate that you offer it. and those are legitimate gripes. ive written it professionally for many years as well. there are alot of nice things about javascript as well, so in general i like the language. alot of what i read in the initial answer is a guy who wants to show he is a member of the cool kids club by hating on javascript. its so lame.
Probably really hard on the truckers, though.
> Should they submit to having no protection from a minority group of people who wish them harm?

Look at how Jeremy Corbyn behaved - he went right to the victims of the London blaze. Theresa May, on the other side, did not. That's the difference between a politician with a spine and a walking disgrace clothed like a politician.

And yes, both have about the same danger level - May because her politics caused that desaster in the first place and Corbyn because left-wing politicians have been murdered in UK before. So you can go directly to the population without tons of security, all it takes is guts.
If anything, this has convinced me that public transit and other public services should be funded entirely with property tax.

The poker company puts transactions (deposits, anyway) through the fake stores. The organisation running the fake stores may well be the poker company or a wholly owned subsidiary, so they don't necessarily keep a cut.

If they took deposits in their own name, the credit card companies and banks would refuse to do business with them.
If you read the paper, the answer is yes, but you can work around it by basically breaking the symmetry between the "output" of a system and the "input"[0]. For the output and input, they will satisfy basic fourier uncertainty relations, but independently of each other.

[0] I've scanned the paper a couple of times and it's still a little murky for me. I have other things to do, unfortunately. For a clue, see figure 2.
Was this true, or perceived as true in 2003? My understanding was that people did not see them as performing worse than NN back then.
Allowing multinational corporations carte blanche to disregard any law they want is not a precedent I want our society to set. Even if it worked out in this case (which is very debatable), its a very slippery slope.

Disclaimer: OP is a friend of mine.
If you think about it, _a lot_ of proverbial paper mills will close in the next decade. Yet somehow it doesn't seem to sink in.
Looks like a lazy functional Python ) Very nice aesthetics of presentation.

There are a few things I am concerned, if you don't mind: I think that actually visualizing lazy computation can be quite a challenge, because of its on-demand nature. One might say that a lazily defined expression is computed (and should be visualized) where it's used, rather than where it's defined. There is a lot of substitutions going on under the hood, and computation is not as clearly localized as it would be in eager evaluation. Also, the tight binding between the code and the visualizations may limit your ability to optimize code for efficiency.

The True / False switch looks cool, but it feels like you are cheating here a little bit by using a boolean literal. Would it look equally nice if it's a function call or some complex expression that is possibly not known yet (as in a function definition)? I have a feeling that at the end of the day Luna may require a very complex visual language that is not easier than the textual alternatives.

But this is more like arbitrary concerns that will be hopefully clarified once you release the whole system. Thank you for your work.

Thumbs up for exploring these new alternative for writing code. I think, it may help us write better and safer programs in the future.

Yea but if you change your MAC address to an unregistered one (what happened when you connected a new modem) you won't get internet and if you change it to a duplicate one your account will be suspended (unless you're doing a swap like in your case). You can't have 2 modems using the same MAC simultaneously.
It's a weakness in the system, because the help desk employees have to be trained to tell people "yes I know it says MyFabricFactory on your credit card bill, but that was actually your deposit to our gambling website" because they get that call all the time and they need to be able to put the customers at ease rather than have them call Visa to dispute the transaction.
Where? Who pays?

Right now, we allow immigration. If we continue that but pay people not to breed, then we're just getting rid of Americans. This is called "ethnic cleansing", and is frequently considered to be unacceptable.

You can't legitimately claim we have too many people while letting more arrive.

Someone still needs to accompany the truck. Sure perhaps in the distant future this is not true but at least for the generation of current truckers a person will still be necessary.

Yes wages are the biggest expense but I think the big pushed for self-driving trucks is
1) Reduced liability
2) Trucks can be operating nearly 24hrs a day.
3) Greater fuel efficiency.

So sure some will lose their jobs but I think half is overly pessimistic.
Even when working for companies that matter (based on your values), it's easy to feel unfilled if you are detached from the primary objective or working with uninteresting tech (think an underpaid janitor working for Greenpeace/WWF/etc). Just pointing out that choosing to work for one of the "good guys" isn't a guarantee of being fulfilled, for some people.
