Perhaps it's worth taking a different viewpoint. With VS 2017, no single release updates every part of the product to the latest things. For example, UWP does not support .NET Standard 2.0 yet. That did not put the VS 2017 15.3 release on hold. Similarly, although F# fully supports .NET Core and .NET Standard 2.0 with this release, the tooling quality wasn't high enough for us to declare the associated tooling support in VS as fully supported. That also did not put the VS 2017 15.3 release on hold. This because we're already three updates into Visual Studio, and it's only been 6 months since its release. Visual Studio updates faster and teams can release things easier and more rapidly without needing to wait for everything else. This is a really good thing.
Considering how well-connected they probably are I bet they can augment their genius with some insider knowledge from time to time.

Pretty psyched to see this. A lot of my automated testing headaches came from the intersection of using PhantomJS with transpiled code - which makes sense, since the Phantom team was always forced to play catch-up with the browsers being emulated.

I've been a dev at 5 companies in 15 years. I've never heard any praise for any developers' contributions after they've left the company.

This smacks of the folk threatening to move to Canada every time a Republican president gets elected (although with this particular one, they may really be onto something). If the Bay area's hold were this fragile, it wouldn't have got this way to begin with. Clearly, living within driving distance of 90% of the world's tech giants outweighs a great many other considerations, despite the rent pressure cooker.

Disclaimer: don't live in the Bay Area and don't plan to, so have no dog in this fight.
I don't have a source on this but from what I read they returned ~80% in '09.

From the research I've done on them, they generally make tons of very small bets on assets they think are mispriced. Generally speaking, when volatility goes dramatically up is when more assets are mispriced thus leading to larger gains for them. However, we've seen historically low volatility so it makes sense that they're not returning as much right now.

Conceptually I hate AMP. I wish they would just have guidelines for fast load times, and award better rank and a lightening badge next to pages that are adhering to those guidelines. I HATE that Google restricts design, re-formats pages, and serves your content.

That said, AMP clearly isn't for eCommerce. You want dynamic, personalized content for eCommerce. Recommendations based on past pages visited, or search terms, or your location... It's not just about fast loading pages.

Some eCommerce may fear that their sales will suffer if someone else gets a page that's in AMP and then Google's new rankings put that page over their own... But that's no reason to convert your site to AMP. It's a good reason to build out landing pages specific for search terms, do paid advertising around keywords, and just generally market your products / site.

Generally speaking, people who come in to product pages straight from Google are just doing price comparison anyway -- it's just a step in the decision journey, but if you've done a proper job of marketing your business, customers that buy tend to go straight to your site and do a search using your own search tools.

Value derives from subjective value the user places on sth. Allow for the user to create sonething valuable by using the software. Sth like a makro, a customized file filter etc. Allow for unlimited use of the tedious part of the app, but withhold the creative "i was clever part" after trial. Take winrar. Traditional rar is for free.. but autounpack into a customized sorting scheme by file type or sth like this would be a upgrade gimick.

Well, I'm not denying that, I'm exactly in that situation for my laptop:

2007 thinkpad x61, core 2 duo T7100, but with 4GB of RAM and an SSD, to be fair I'm cheating a little as I use Debian+DWM which is lighter than Windows 10.

But it holds itself pretty well and CPU limitation will probably not be the reason I change it. The screen resolution (1024x768) will probably be the main motivator.

But this only illustrates that there were some improvement because of RAM evoluation (4 to 8 GB or RAM now for average PCs vs 1 to 2 GB back then) and huge improvement because of disk evolution (SSD vs mechanical drives). CPU is far from being the main improvement factor for common usage in the last 10 years.
Sounds like the perfect use case for a nice standard CORSy web prefetch API that all browsers could implement.

And this would work for at least as much of the web as is currently putting effort into AMP.
This system is expensive enough that its purchase really ought to be left up to the consumer. A rule mandating sawstops would double the price of entry level saws and put them out of reach of hobbyists.
As discussed on another thread, one of the NASA guides says

While there's probably also huge demand for welding goggles right now, a majority of people shopping for eclipse viewing gear might not know that (some) welding eyewear would be safe for eclipse viewing. (It would be a good idea to ask an expert before using arbitrary welding gear to view the sun, in case different kinds of welding goggles block different parts of the spectrum to different extents.)
Can you explain exactly what you mean by TCP/IP is underfunded, with examples?

And how are tokens on the Ethereum network capturing value in other networks? How is Filecoin better off with its own money versus people bidding for storage in Bitcoin, Monero, or Ethereum directly? And why should the value of Filecoin tokens spike up? How is having a speculative token beneficial for accurately pricing storage?

The liquidity aspects are just companies jumping around regulations. Nothing stops startups from listing all their shares on a website and letting anyone buy/sell/trade them. Well except for the legality aspect!

I say this as someone about to do a cryptocurrency fundraiser in the adult services space. Though we aren't issuing tokens, but shares - we take payment in cash or other cryptocoins. The main benefit is easily being able to crowdfund and return dividends while avoiding legal hurdles.
Regardless of our individual opinions, probably far more than enough of the general public does not care about or know about securing their online privacy than is needed for an invasive AI startup to get what they need to make a valuable product.

I assume your amazement is because some states have such low rates. If so, this is very misleading since there are two competing tests in the US (ACT and SAT). The states that have low rates for SAT almost all have very high rates for ACT and vice-versa.

Socialism: As American as Apple Pie
Whenever I see announcements like this, it's very unclear to me what is meant by "AI." Are they talking about basically getting the most out of the current ML/deep learning type systems? If so then I guess building data sets makes sense but it seems more like an uninteresting business strategy than what I think of as pushing AI forward.

If, on the other hand, they are talking about making progress on the more traditional dream of AI, the focus on building these data sets seems to be a sad way to lock us into a local maximum for a long time.

Massive curated data sets are crutches that lead us into narrow-minded hyper-specialized systems. Are any of these funds investing in people working on systems that try to make sense of raw sensory data streams? I don't think we're ever going to move away from data sets by creating more and better data sets.
I've been toying with the idea of using tokens as an in-game currency in my MMORPG. The problem is that the normal currency is inflationary due to monsters dropping it as loot. I do have sinks to control inflation but I'm thinking that the tokens should be tied to a fix value.

What is fixed and scarce however is land (you can claim plots and build houses, shops etc). Would having a server with land tied to a token make sense or is it a bad idea?

I keep wondering when the supply of 2k+/month shoddily constructed one bedroom rental apartments will catch up with the demand for them. That may not seem like a lot for the Bay types, but Denver has traditionally been a lot cheaper. The last 5-10 years have seen crazy population and rent growth.
Everyone I know who has moved upstate has done it because they can work remotely as a software engineer, and they are either from there, or just like the quality of life / cost of living balance. So, I would say the availability of remote work rather than industry.

There's obviously a significant sample bias in the above.

"It is a decentralized network of millions of computers"

Really now?
It's really exciting to see the different components for decentralized apps come together. Bitcoin promised programmable money, and it sort of is, but Ethereum is so much more accessible (for better or for worse).

With Ethereum we have decentralized compute. With IPFS we get decentralized storage. Cryptographic keys give us self-sovereign identity. Build tools like Truffle make it easy to get started (think create-react-app for Ethereum). And libraries like Zepplin are helping standardize secure patterns.

And, to top it off, using web3.js we can write UIs _in the browser_ using JavaScript and the libraries we're already familiar with (Angular, React, Vue).

By the way, [shameless plug], if you're a web developer and you're looking to get started programming cryptocurrency and distributed apps, I have some introductory tutorials here => https://newline.co/

This is exactly the way the white supremacists want you to think. They want you to normalize them and say, 'All violence is bad - from either side.'

"First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."

And more people will be able to live there... Isn't that the goal?

I don't think that's correct. I think the main strength of F# lies in its interoperability with C#.

Basically C# and F# are 2 different languages that are good at solving different problems, and are mastered by different people. C# is a solid infrastructure language. F# is a good business modeling language.

What I think is best about F#/C# is to have data scientists / mathematicians work in a language and have infrastructure people work in another one, and yet have those 2 languages interoperate well.

The main issue for me is that they don't actually interoperate very well...

If F# is pushed too far from C#, what's the point? Just use Haskell...

"Deep learning provides a way to approximate any computable function as the composition of matrix operations with non-linearities."

This actually describes neural networks in general, not so much "deep learning".

Deep learning comes from being able to scale up neural networks from having only a few 10s or 100s of nodes per layer, to thousands and 10s of thousands of nodes per layer (and of course the combinatorial explosion of edges in the network graph between layers), coupled with the ability to process and use massive datasets to train with, and ultimately process on the trained model.

This has mainly been enabled by the cheap availability of GPUs and other parallel architectures, coupled with fast memory interconnects (both to hold the model and to shuttle data in/out of it for training and later processing) and the CPU (probably disk, too).

But neural networks have almost always been represented by matrix operations (linear algebra), it's just that there wasn't the data, nor the vast (and cheap) numbers of parallelizable processing elements available to handle it (the closest architectures I can think of that could potentially do it in the 1980/90s would be from Thinking Machines (Connection Machines) and probably systolic array processors (which were pretty niche at the time, mainly from CMU):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systolic_array

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WARP_(systolic_array)

These latter machines started to prove some of what we take for granted today, in the form of the NAVLAB ALVINN self-driving vehicle:

http://repository.cmu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2874&c...

Of course, today it can be done on a smartphone:

http://blog.davidsingleton.org/nnrccar/

The point, though, is that neural networks have long been known to be most effectively computed using matrix operations, it's just that the hardware wasn't there (unless you had a lot of money to spend) nor the datasets - to enable what we today call "deep learning".

That, and AI winters didn't help matters. I would imagine that if somebody from the late 1980s had asked for 100 million to build or purchase a large parallel processing system of some form for neural network research - they would've been laughed at. Of course, no one at that time really knew that what was needed was such large architecture, nor the amount of data (plus the concept of convolutional NNs and other recent model architectures weren't yet around). Also - programming for such a system would have been extremely difficult.

So - today is the "perfect storm", of hardware, data, and software (and people who know how to use and abuse it, of course).
Regardless of profit, if Google just made the AMP spec and didn't incentivize publishers to use it, well, no one would use it.
