>It is really easy to get started (just sell stuff that you can find in your house and don't need anymore) and I really like this treasure hunt feeling when entering a thrift store or looking for clearance.

Interesting. What is the process for getting started and then doing it? Can you provide some links? And by flip I suppose you mean buy and then sell?
Quite possible. I do have a recent PhD in AI, but it's a big field and I can't claim to know more than a small percentage of it.

The problem with the dataset-first approach is that humans are still providing a lage part of the intelligence: defining the domain, defining what good performance on it looks like, carefully designing model architectures, collecting and labeling large datasets, etc. This is fine for narrow task-specific problems, but is not really the end-all of AI, and does not even seem to work well on all well-defined tasks. As an example of another kind of inference, how about mathematical reasoning? I purposely pick one here that is seemingly very formal; should be possible for a computer to do it. Mathematicians are somehow able to invent conjectures and prove theorems without first being exposed to terabytes of labeled mathematical facts. The scientific method is kind of an even messier version of this. Or to take something laypeople do, people can usually learn games to at least a passable level from just a handful of playthroughs, not AlphaGo-style millions of plays (imagine if you had to play even 1,000 games of MT:G before you got the basic hang of it...).

All this kind of stuff is quite well-represented in the literature though, if you mean the scientific literature. Pop-press AI writing tends to cover a pretty specific subset of what's going on at AI conferences.
It would be neat if they had a "test zone" where you could hold the material against to see if it was conductive.

It sucks that you have to choose between,

"Mostly, because I'm a nerd and wanted to be around other like-minded nerds and fulfill my nerd dreams."

and

"taking vacations, buying homes, and generally having a nice life. "

Ideally, you wouldn't have to choose between the two. In fact, the two should compliment each other instead of trade-off.
Yep, but after that, you've got a looong wait for the next one in the USA.
> I honestly wished you made better backup points to your arguments. I'm left with nothing to go on as it is now.

I don't need to, you either understand evolution or you don't; it's not an opinion to be argued, it is how the world works. There's nothing you can refute, any refutation is simply evidence you do not understand the facts of reality. You can't argue with someone who denies evolution, their mind doesn't value facts.

> Nature by my reasoning is magical though.

Then your reasoning is flawed. Magic is that which breaks the rules of nature, like your god for example. Nature is not magical, the natural world is the very definition of not magic.

> Simple rules fail in the subject of the Heisenberg principle.

You don't understand evolution, you're nowhere near ready to approach the topic of quantum mechanics.
I'm thinking of switching my business email to protonmail from gmail.

Any users like it ?

The whole google memo revealed google employees are not as trustworthy as I thought. All the social media talk of blacklists, and inquisition tactics from some of upper management is bad for business.

I've already gotten emails from clients asking me to change their business google services to something else (anything else in their own words).
> And more people will be able to live there... Isn't that the goal?

The goal is "I want to be able to afford to live here." The only way to really affect prices is to absolutely flood the market with new housing. You can't just do it with a couple hundred units here, a couple hundred units there. Everyone in the world wants to live in SF, remember? They're just going to get snapped up and housing will still be expensive, the only real difference is that there's some more people living there now.

My general thesis on this is that "addiction" is really an addiction to dopamine which is triggered by various other things (drugs, sex, booze, power, money, shopping, porn, etc). That dopamine release is the nervous systems attempt to sooth itself when in a state of disregulation.

A healthy nervous system in a healthy environment (with attuned caregivers and limited traumatic experience) will equipt a person with the neural pathways (and associated beliefs and behaviors) to regulate their nervous system.

In compromised development, either through lack of attunement or childhood / early trauma folks don't have the ability to automatically regulate and they are in a constant state of fight / flight. The dopamine helps to deal with this temporarily.

Psychedelics, some therapy, and sometimes near death / mystical experiences (moments of clarity) can offer a window of opportunity in which the ego loosens its grip enough for the nervous system to relax and for the subconscious material (traumas) to come to the surface and be released with the accompanying rewiring of the fight / flight response.

When one experiences reality from an undefended state it is generally such a pleasurable, rich experience that the desire to use other mechanisms of self-soothing organically fade away and the cognition and behavior reorient to healthier more nourishing alternatives.

These experiences and therapy combined with a healthy environment and relationships that support the honest expression of emotion (ie, not co-dependent) can rapidly support healing.

The basic idea is that traumas are trapped in the somatic system and that altered states of consciousness combined with the right context can allow for an unfolding and healing of the underlying issues.

Depending on the underlying issue and severity of the defense structures folks may find help with various psychedelic substance from MDMA, Iboga, LSD, Mushroom or Ayahuasca.

We also have seen great result using Holotropic Breathwork which was developed as a legal alternative to LSD Psychotherapy.

This is essentially the same process I used to heal from bipolar, as I began to see bipolar as an "addiction" to states of depression and mania as a protective, adaptive response.

It's also the process I now use with my clients and the underlying philosophy that I bring to the communities that support.

If anyone is interested, there is a new book out (published anonymously) that documents accounts of a number of people who have been helped by an underground MDMA therapy practice. (Not specific to substance addiction, but includes some accounts.)

Do you include training or overviews for software used between different practices? Quick references on EMR choice, custom applications, and other differences between practices would probably reduce friction when starting at a new practice. You might even be able to include patient care summaries automatically if you are sharing patients.

Getting people set up with domain credentials and doing standard prep work were some of the other complaints I heard about, so good move there.
It was already clear that nothing of substance is going to come out of the NAFTA talks, both because nobody in business or agriculture wants it (http://www.politico.com/story/2017/08/15/trump-win-nafta-tal...) and because nobody is impressed by Trump anymore: just like the rest of the world, Canada and Mexico have figured out that he's all bluster and folds like a cheap tent as soon as you say "No".
yeah, not even close. The two or three (only!) companies I've asked tended to have divisions like this, though, just with different names.
Or big companies. If you wanted a chance to profit from Snap, Square, Twitter or (coming soon) Pinterest, you had to be a high level investor.

Yeah, that bugged me, too. I wonder if it would be better if Metcalfe's law were stated "the value of a network is proportional to the number of links."

The weird part is they arent doing it for political reasons, this is to protect the image of their corporation. But we havent been told that. There is so much obfuscation of the truth in politics, I am constantly amazed and dismayed at the same time.
> Aren't those categories unactionable?

Not really; I mean, both sides of the log ideological struggle over capitalism and left alternatives has centered around both sides understanding and basing action around pretty much precisely the divisions in class interest reflected by those categories; they're quite actionable.

> I mean, a lady owns a beauty shop, spends 10 hours a day ordering supplies, doing payroll, managing advertising, hiring and fireing, somehow she's not working class because other people are involved and paid by her?

Right. As a business owner, she has distinct differences of interest from those living by wage labor (including an interest in minimizing the cost of wage labor); as someone who most apply their own labor as well as capital, she has economic interests distinct from those of pure capitalists. Hence, she's in the middle class of capitalism.

> A guy like Bill Gate's Dad is categorized middle class because he works alone, sort of, despite essentially bossing around his clients with autocratic decisions made in the quiet of his office?

Sure (though the founder of successful law firm probably is a working employer, not working alone.) Again, a similar alignment of interest is at play. There is an important distinction orthogonal to class, aside from just the degree of success, though: the lawyer is also part of the intelligentsia as well as the petit borgeoisie, while the beauty store owner is not. The intelligentsia cuts across classes, and have distinct interests.

> If housing in the SF Bay area suddenly became more attainable, I wouldn't buy 3 apartments just 'cause.

No, but you'd have all those people waiting on the sidelines jumping in immediately. Net result, housing is still expensive (sorta like the highway analogy, we still have tons of traffic after building these lanes).
Get a lawyer. They're copying your content and misrepresenting a link to their site as yours.
You've entirely missed my point: sorry if I was unclear.

> You can't have protected free speech without the laws that protect it.

The claim the parent comment was rebutting was "private platforms can and should be arbiters of permissible speech". It's entirely consistent to think that (eg) Facebook shouldn't pick and choose what you're allowed to say on its platform, without thinking that the government should enforce their neutrality. Again... You may disagree, but that claim need not have anything to do with government.

Part of the confusion here may be that you're interpreting his comment as requiring the government to enforce said neutrality, and I'm not: specifically because the statement being argued against includes the notion that Facebook should be an arbiter of acceptable speech.

And fwiw, I think the xkcd comic is as stupid as the parent comment who posted it does.
In the same sense that funding the NHS is an indirect subsidy of Barclays, Rolls-Royce, BAE, Dyson, and Skyscanner. By providing free healthcare to folks living in Britain, it simply allows those well to do companies to continue not providing comprehensive health insurance to their employees.

Any political body that tries to foster the growth of high-paying jobs in an area should also put in place policies so that there is at least 1 bed for every desk. More if they want to allow children, retirees, and manual laborers to live there.

'ideological echo chamber'
We also did some evaluation and then decided to stick to KISS an chose kubectl commands combined with cat and kexpand. Really simple approach to allow dynamic kubernetes deployments.

Example command can be

cat service.yml | kexpand expand -v image-tag=git-135afed4 | kubectl apply -f -

The service.yml contains the full deployment configuration, service definition and ingress rules. So this works without preconfiguring anything in kubernetes when deploying an new service.

An engineer only has to create the service.yml and Jenkins does deploy it automatically on every master build.

> The amount of people doing production web development in Rust won't be more than a single digit

Well, I'm pretty sure a few people at INRIA would be really happy if OCaml was used by a single digit percentage of the whole web community. If Rust reached this stage I think we could talk about its success in this field. Go is considered a pretty sucessful language for web back-end stuf and I'm pretty sure it's not used by more than a single digit percentage of web devs.

> I surely don't want to think about affine types when doing UI design in Storyboards, Android designer, WPF/UWP Blend designer.

I don't understand your point, affine type is something that helps you write more maintainable code : you can't have two different sections of your code mutating the same piece of data without you knowing it. It makes me think less actually. And if you need to have two owners for a given piece of data, you can opt-out the ownership system with reference counting and interior mutability. Those rules and mechanisms are difficult to learn and internalize, but once that's done it helps you and makes you more productive.
>when Ethereum adds more features faster

Bitcoin's conservative rate of change is one of its big features, plus the network effects of its existing userbase. Bitcoin users are less likely to lose money because of an issue in Bitcoin or because of reliance on a fragile contract encouraged by the Bitcoin software. The Bitcoin network is less likely to have its transaction history rolled back, or have significant changes made to its money supply which could strongly affect the value of present bitcoins.
Also, patents expire. I don't know when the patent for this particular device was granted, but given that NPR wrote its first article on them in 2004, they can't have many years left of patent protection.

Nice! This is definitely an important tool when creating a site traffic in images to be displayed across a variety different sized screens. Having worked on this type of project before I'll mention a few challenges you have not yet addressed.

At some scale point, your single DynamicServer server will have more resize requests than it has CPU cycles to serve. The straightforward solution will be to add more DynamicServer instances. This means that your source image directory will have to be accessible from both instances. It also duplicates your cache directory, meaning a single image size could get generated on both servers. You might solve that by having a shared image cache network directory. Another solution could be to use a hash mechanism to determine a particular backend server from the load balancing layer, so any particular image would always be generated on the same instance.

Something interesting happens when people upload an image to their newsfeed. If it's a public newsfeed, there can be a good many requests of the image within the next several seconds at upload. This means that you can get multiple cache miss requests at the same time coming into your DynamicImage server. Your PHP processes are vertically partitioned, so your server will be simultaneously generating the resize. For users with only a few friends, this is a small waste of CPU cycles, but for users with massive user bases (e.g. Britany Spears), a single upload could grind your DynamicImage server to a halt just because of simultaneous duplicated work. Varnish (and other load balancers) can solve this by collapsing multiple requests to the same resource into a single HTTP call (https://varnish-cache.org/docs/3.0/tutorial/handling_misbeha...).

If one must install grub to a partition (e.g. on a first-generation Mac Pro), one is advised on the ArchLinux Wiki to use chattr:

Warning: GRUB strongly discourages installation to a partition boot sector or a partitionless disk as GRUB Legacy or Syslinux does. This setup is prone to breakage, especially during updates, and is not supported by the Arch developers.

# chattr -i /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img

# grub-install --target=i386-pc --debug --force /dev/sdaX

# chattr +i /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img

in case of partition or a partitionless disk is that GRUB relies on embedded blocklists in the partition bootsector to locate the /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img file and the prefix directory /boot/grub. The sector locations of core.img may change whenever the file system in the partition is being altered (files copied, deleted etc.).

The workaround for this is to set the immutable flag on /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img (using chattr command as mentioned above) so that the sector locations of the core.img file in the disk is not altered. The immutable flag on /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img needs to be set only if GRUB is installed to a partition boot sector or a partitionless disk, not in case of installation to MBR or simple generation of core.img without embedding any bootsector (mentioned above).
