Actually, in much of the system there is a great deal of redundancy so one track can be shut down for maintenance using weekends and 10 PM to 5 AM. For example there are often parallel local and express tracks (6 local, 4,5, express or 1 local and 2, 3 express or C local and A express).

Also entire train lines frequently run in parallel a few blocks from each other.

You can always introduce more latency artificially. So the only thing you could prove is a "no farther than" property, because you can't be farther than the speed of light, but you could be arbitrarily closer.
As others have pointed out, some math is CS that is almost independent of the problem domain, and then there is obviously lots of math that is domain dependent. I use tons of linear algebra, trig etc. in my field (CAD).

Good idea for a website, should be able to get you some nice revenue from intermittent visits. You probably want to focus on financial services for your ads.

I'm not going to say anything about your numbers and your models other than, without the ability to see how they looked at previous crashes, it's hard to see if the site is useful. To the innumerate masses and emotional investors the flickering numbers are persuasive enough. So they really don't matter.

On the bad side, your UX is god-awful. Use an oldish, slightly crappy monitor to look at it and you will discover that your background is indistinguishable from the foreground. The top bar of the box completely disappears, too. Also, a row of buttons is NOT a good tabbed interface--there is no indication that clicking on "Market Volatility" is going to reload all the content below the row of buttons. Maybe make actual tabs, at least make that stuff a distinct box.

This could be a nice little side product to make you some extra money. Get some GA on there, and slowly add features. I think a bit of interactivity and the ability to customize the predictive models through some drag and drop could actually make the page sticky and get people coming back.
In general it's much easier to reason about Boolean circuits because they always have an answer, unlike arbitrary programs that may never halt, for example, so you see a lot of theoretic results focusing on Boolean circuits (sometimes with limitations on the depth) instead.

Early on it was thought that considering circuits instead of regular programs could result in "polynomial with advice" algorithms for NP-complete problems, but results such as the Karp-Lipton theorem have shown this to be unlikely.
Interesting, and I'm curious why its like that. The only thing being tested is 4k video though. More tests are needed beyond 4k.

Case in point: I don't own a mobile Windows device so it doesn't matter to me. On my MBP (2880 x 1800) 4k wouldn't apply either. I'd run either XviD or DVD.

Yes, at least in this talk he's very careful only to disclose what can be inferred from already public information (e.g. Snowden leaks). People from his former line of work are kind of used to this, I guess, as they probably cannot even discuss every detail of what they're doing with all of their own colleagues during lunch breaks.
As someone who's cited by the OP and coincidentally released a tool today that easily trains a LSTM on any dataset demoed with Hacker News data (https://github.com/minimaxir/textgenrnn), I have a couple comments:

1) My Get All Hacker News Submissions script is somewhat obsolete since all HN data is now on BigQuery (will add a note to the README today)

2) There is a massive, massive selection bias in terms of the quality of the selected generated texts. If you look at the sample output (https://github.com/danhon/deep-hackernews/blob/master/sample...), there is a large disparity in quality between the chosen submissions for the blog post and a typical generated submission. (this is expected, although the need for human curation damages the "Turing test" suggestions proposed by other commenters)

Compare with the sample output at similar temperature from my 128-cell LSTM network (https://github.com/minimaxir/textgenrnn/blob/master/outputs/...), which is several orders smaller (OP uses a 512-cell network), and many magnitudes lower amount of training data. (I am curious how long OP spent training the network.)

The question isn't about market value, it's about whether the homeowners should have been contacted about the problem and given a chance to remedy it (e.g. First right of sale)

The answer to that may differ from person to person, and may depend heavily on facts not presented here, such as whether the money was paid be the homeowners but didn't make it to the city, whether the city should have or did know the accountant's address was no longer good for decades, etc.

The question in my mind is: Does an opinion suddenly become a "thought crime" if expressing it publicly might get you fired from a non-governmental employer? The consequences don't include incarceration or even necessarily the end of a career. This is, in principle, "crime?" Really?

You've jumped straight into name calling without engaging that question.

Couldn't we characterize the manifesto scandal as, in part, an apalling lack of judgement? Should your response lend me (or anyone) any confidence in your judgement? Yet here you are, charging right in with a judgement call.

Consider the possibility that you have read the manifesto but you haven't understood the context. That other people, who claim to see something else there, really are seeing it, they're not making it up. Consider the possibility that some of them have had experiences you have not. That some of them are just smarter than you. That people who disagree with you aren't insane or lazy.
I think the problem comes down to simple economic factors.

How much will it cost upfront to automate a specific area and how long will it take for such automation to turn a profit vs human alternatives.

Right now:

- the upfront costs are high

- continued maintenance and update costs are uncertain

- human are really not that expensive for what they can do

My view is that humans are actually a much more valuable resource than most HN/reddit/social media users seem to think. Solutions that fail to account for the __massive__ available decision making and processing power of the ~7 billion existing humans will just not be competitive. Someone will always find a way to harness the human resource and put people to work. I just hope the people get compensated fairly and the work won't be miserable.
When people see a tech company that's 90% male, they say "Oh well, men and women are different, that's the explaination."

120 spots at 150k each is $18m.
Very much so. I work 9AM-5PM, with an hour for lunch, and sporadic 5minute breaks as I pace, or make coffee.

Some days I'm on fire and I'm working at 95% from start to finish. Other days I'm maybe 60% productive, things just "don't go well". On average I assume I'm a productive and useful employee, as I've never had any performance warnings, or criticisms.

It's just the nature of the industry. You can't perform at your peak 100% of your working life. Some days you need to mull problems over, try different approaches, cancel them debug random failures, and so on.

I love my job, I love my colleagues, but I can't be 100% efficient and if I were I suspect I'd get annoyed about it. I need to wander, to pace, and to scribble on note-pads.

That is not the article on Agent Orange, but rather a C-quality-rated article you've cherrypicked with significantly more political bent. This is the wikipedia article on Agent Orange: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agent_Orange:

Agent Orange is an herbicide and defoliant chemical.

Furthermore, this question was actually litigated and decided "not a chemical weapon" in the US. Again, from the wikipedia article on Agent Orange (emphasis mine):

"Three judges on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Weinstein's ruling to dismiss the case. They ruled that, though the herbicides contained a dioxin (a known poison), they were not intended to be used as a poison on humans. Therefore, they were not considered a chemical weapon and thus not a violation of international law. A further review of the case by the whole panel of judges of the Court of Appeals also confirmed this decision. The lawyers for the Vietnamese filed a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case. On March 2, 2009, the Supreme Court denied certiorari and refused to reconsider the ruling of the Court of Appeals."

No matter how you feel about Agent Orange the original article's statement about dioxin is just factually wrong.

I've used it for a while, because despite how little I've enjoyed Nintendo hardware for quite a few years now, I still love some of those games. I'm sorry, but I don't care about mobile, I don't like small screens, so there is zero appeal for me here. Putting your mobile and console lines together is, at the end of the day, gimmicky in a world full of tablets and easier ecosystems to use. Nintendo has been chasing that original Wii money, and that doesn't always mean we get the best consoles, or the best games.

A tldr of what I think is that the world has radically changed in the last 100 years and society has become openly hostile to people in ways that are more problematic for some people than others. Rather than wondering what the hell has happened at scale that the world is so problematic for so many people to navigate, we hand out diagnoses to those having the most trouble. It is a form of washing our hands of responsibility for shitting on people (at the societal level).

There is an autism "epidemic." So, either something has happened at scale to cause a sudden and dramatic increase in basically birth defects (which appears to be true, actually) or society is less people friendly in critical ways or both. Yet, we don't say "Shit! We have poisoned the environment and it is causing our babies to be defective! We need to fix this!" And we also don't say "Shit! What the fuck is wrong with the world that so many perfectly normal people cannot function in it?" No, we say "You, as an individual, are defective and you, as an individual, needs to try harder to fit in. Don't expect the world to be too accommodating."

Which must be some new record for politely telling people "Fuck you and the horse you road in on" with plausible deniability.

One possible benign reason: as society has gotten more free and open to women's choices, their preferences have been revealed. (Note that this also may explain why there are more female computer programmers in Iran than in, say, Finland. Women are more free to do what they want to do in Finland.)

Now, look, this explanation may be wrong, but, no, it's not hard to imagine alternate explanations. Nice and neat conclusions in the social sciences are hard to come by. Anybody in this thread claiming that they know exactly which explanations are the right ones is full of shit.

But what about the non-gendered "political" things, like trad unions, local political party organisations, universities, other non-gendered clubs, if women are really better at people skills, shouldn't them be dominating those areas in the same way men are dominating STEM? Can you find a group which, at the low levels is about 50:50, and yet women dominate the political/organisational level?

How much counter-examples can you ignore before you say well maybe this "women are good at people skills, men are good at STEM". It seems like people really think "well men are better at basically everything"

A handful of "rich and powerful" people lost out here. Orders of magnitude greater numbers of "rich and powerful" people rely upon unassailable precedents of property law to "take advantage" of less sophisticated people every day.

Just like most ballot initiatives in California, these battles are rarely "rich versus poor" but rather "rich versus rich".

i have a really weird and contrarian opinion, which is that Splatoon online is good because it's bad. I swear I actually believe this, though, not just trolling.

voice chat is difficult and terrible, so nobody really uses it! that's a major plus in my book. most people will never run into more vile people than when gaming online.

the multiplayer is unbalanced, issues with lag and disconnection often mean that the outcomes of matches just aren't fair. this is good, because it sort of limits how seriously you can take the game. just relax and have fun instead of a hypercompetitive 3-hours-a-day online sport.

the inconvenience of parties/team up is good, it means it's hard for people to get an us-vs-them mentality or want to just dominate weaker players.

i'd be really shocked if this is all intentional on Nintendo's part; it's probably just hubris and not-invented-here syndrome.

but in practice it feels almost like all the online inadequacies are a kind of traffic calming -- like putting trees and islands in the middle of a busy road to get people to slow down. it makes things more welcoming for people like me who normally loathe online games.
