That's not insane but actually quite sensible: it guarantees that lack of IT related skills does not compromise security. If I had to guess, that policy is the result of a risk assessment that did exactly what it was supposed to do.

The bit where it might be seen to have gone wrong is that you personally have not formally been made aware why it is a policy.
Probably editing the pdf in photoshop or illustrator, but not flattening the layers back down before exporting the document, causing the underlying information to be retained. The PDF format doesn't just function as a container for an image, it supports all kinds of layers.
first: i like math.

i think the tone of the article is good, however, because it's definitely possible to start playing with pylearn, make some SVMs, and have a lot of fun without worrying too much about L^p spaces are in the first place. later on, it could be possible to interpolate more mathematical ideas for a smoother understanding of how to measure how much preprocessing is flattening out their data sets.

(in other words, sssh this is another opportunity to trick people into doing math without immediately recognizing it as such! :-)
The fines are against the property, so they go to the owner (that's part of being the owner). Murder is charged against the murderer (not the crime scene). Contraband is generally charged against the possessor (which would be either the tenant or the AirBnB guest) but the police might have different ideas about who's responsible so you should be an active landlord and have some idea of what your tenant is doing.
I know it sounds trite, but if you haven't I really recommend taking up some kind of exercise. It's frankly amazing how fast my general attitude turned around when I started swimming a few hours a week. The malaise I'd been living in since I was a teenager evaporated in a few days, and I was like a completely new person. Every so often I'll get a little lazy and not go for a bit, and the stupefying brain fog of depression always serves as a pointed reminder.
I'm very much agree to this, especially the deflationary part. Current Bitcoin pricing seems to favor the early `investors`, and fluctuate too much. That is not acceptable for use as money, which must store a stable value for a long time...
Not sure if you follow Ben Thompson (Stratechery / Exponent.fm) but he bases a lot of his business analysis around this book. If you liked TID then I highly recommend Ben's writings.
Thank you.

So a price indicates someone listed them on their exchange and someone else is trading them - but what else?

Does that imply they succeeded? What was achieved other than the ICO and the listing itself?
Make them hierarchical. Starting point is to survive.
These are almost certainly physical recoveries, so definitely requiring very specific skills and training.

But it wouldn't hurt to ask. Maybe they would much appreciate things like cleaning off the exterior dirt and otherwise washing drives in distilled water.

(One of the tips I've read is that if you have wet electronics that can't be immediately dried thoroughly, flush thoroughly and then keep them submerged in distilled water to prevent further corrosion.)
Tell Google: Stop Killing Monopoly Research
Nature had a planet and several billion years. Of course the goal wasn't AGI, it was survival, and horseshoe crabs have done a pretty good job of that. So have beatles, with their large number of species. How would you select for only AGI? It would be like selecting for only the greatest eyes (Mantis shrimp), but doing it over the entire tree of life. You still need a way to narrow down to the best eyes.
Since you likely can't prove it, the existence of AGI will be a marketing exercise.
Property ownership is public information that can be verified with the town.

Furthermore, I didn't see any reason to jump to such conclusions given in the article. These people seem like professional swindlers so they could have presented false documents when signing the lease.
I ran about 15 miles of this today (goes through my hometown). Some notable points:

- about 500m on a two lablne road with no shoulder and 80km speed limit

- 3 miles on the most beautiful abandoned road that looks like a Josh Keyes painting. I've done 100 runs down here and never seen anyone on it

- 10 miles on a dyke. I bit close to the highway at points but a well loved and travelled trail.

- the rest through suburbia. If there wasn't signs (and there often isn't you wouldn't know it was part of a "trail" since it's a normal sidewalk).
I'm afraid I've lost the thread of this a bit. What exactly are you advocating? Are you proposing a change in the law? Or are we strictly in the land of ethics?
I sell infused cannabis products to dispensaries. They resale them to the consumer.
If I had to guess, this guy clearly loves cocaine, power, and money. Like all absolutists he fails to understand what has been known since ancient Greek philosophy, "Just because you think you are the best in the world at something, doesn't mean other people think the same." His art is terrible, so I'm guessing with the programming experience of starting Mongrel he is disillusioned into thinking he actually makes a difference in the world.

If you know about Ghost writing, then you know how he managed to "write" 10 books in six years. On the topic of programming, to learn it takes nothing special but dedication, and lots of sample programming projects.

The world is filled with things beyond our understanding and just because you know programming doesn't mean you know shit about other topics, ie. his art, or writing. I imagine this guy sees himself the opposite of what others see in him. Who really knows if we will ever have String Theory, a theory of what makes good music, and how the lower levels of the human brain work.

Another thing is, is this site a humor site, or is it about the latest in technology and startups. Where is the coverage of anything that resembles a coherent piece of technology, a business plan that is not a paragraph, or an understanding that maybe we don't know everything about Science at the beginning of the twenty-first century.

I see on the front page almost every time I'm here papers about Physics and in the comments is always the people explaining how a Black Hole holds all its information on its Event Horizon, or how the Holographic principle makes String Theory less complicated to understand. Where is the Science, the testable hypothesis, the ability to understand Science's limitations, it is all magic. Magic in that it is as made up over the last fifty years by people that have never taken a Philosophy of Science course.

Anyways, I'm nothing special, just a normal guy who wanted to write an angry rebuttal because really, if you think you are an expert on everything then you are just plain wrong. I think Zed could use more ego, what do you guys think? Also, I'm sorry if this angers anyone. I really do care. Not.
This article fails to understand what components are in React. They are the building blocks for every aspect of an application. My data stores are components, my views are components, my styles are components.

The author obviously comes from an MVC background where a component is one specific aspect of an application, and enabling it to do all these other things seems sacrosanct. But they've got it backwards.

Think of a React component on the same level as a function: we design our functions as purely as we can, but it's not the function's fault if it's written poorly.
>> It harms them.

> No, only physical actions like rape could harm them, distributing data on the dark web does not.

Does that mean that mental / emotional trauma from being robbed at gunpoint is not harm if a physical assault does not occur?

I have been robbed at gunpoint. I was robbed by someone who I met through a third party (not randomly on the street, but at my home). Police arrested the robber after I called 911, but he was released for reasons not easily summarized.

One month later, I pulled into a gas station and saw the perpetrator in the parking lot. I immediately drove home and had a panic attack.

By your argument, no harm was caused. The psychological impact, however, was very real to me.

Edit: formatting.
Thoughts on Career – A reply to a friend on ‘being Elon’
I did it for many years. It is not for the weak. The hellgrind plug-in for valgrind saved my ass big time here and there. Without threads a program needs to have zero bugs, with threads you need a negative bug count. You will get that joke when you try to add threads to a normally bug free program and suddenly you discover the rest of the real bugs you didn't know yet.
I read the book a while ago, and the general point was that it is a misconception that capitalistic free trade was a driver of high growth in today's powerful western economies. These countries actually engaged in significant levels of industrial protectionism during key parts of their economic history.

I don't think the book was making a point about what is best for developing nations today, just attacking the the idea that laissez-faire capitalism built the US economy.

It's quite a good, short book, if you want to get a perspective on capitalism that's neither from a Communist or a university's Business & Commerce faculty.
These arguments about AGI all seem to overlook that our computational model is still very Turing-constrained. It's a clock-based, sequential model where each calculation is taken linearly in time. Even with multi-core and distributed computing, you're still bottlenecked by the final integration step (two cores sharing the result of their calculation). There is no central place in our brains where thoughts begin and end. A CPU's clock and ALU are simple not analogous to the human mind. As far as we know, human intelligence is a constant, dynamic interaction between all neurons in our brains, any one of which is capable of originating a signal. I personally think we will develop AGI, but with a different computational model. I don't know enough about quantum computing to even comment on it, but I do have a background in medicine (MD) and computer science (MSCS).
I used to do that until I discovered the Compact theme (which is now installed by default, previously only available on the developer edition without installing an add-on).
I don't agree with you

Bitcoin will never replace current fiat money as it is inherently flawed: price fluctuate too much, and favor early owner of it.
Wealth: redistribution and interest rates
You were harmed in the real world by being robbed at gunpoint. This is nothing like what I am arguing.
This probably isn't the sort of behavior you expected when you asked for examples but:

Uber and Lyft were required by a municipal ordinance of Austin to finger-print their drivers. They both objected to this regulation and so they got some local folks to promote a ballot issue that intended to free them from the regulation.

There were a lot of questionable things that happened along with this ballot measure like shady local "advocacy groups" and attempts to recall city council members who appeared to be critical of Uber, but my main issue was that they sent me literally 14 of the same exact mailer addressed to me in . This was in addition to their other mailers, which were also duplicated obscenely. Anyways, the ballot measure failed and Uber and Lyft decamped, but only after claiming they were "forced out of Austin."

They wasted $10,000,000 on all this, which could have finger-printed 200,000 drivers.

They seem like wasteful idiots who want to interfere with society to their own benefit. And that's not even me talking about their flouting of 'taxi regulations.'
Masters Of Doom - The value of an unbalanced life and focused hard work. Also, how to start a startup. A really fun read, to boot.

Fooled By Randomness - a) Survivorship bias. b) If you look at revealed preferences, people choose regular small gains with a rare huge loss over regular small losses and a rare huge gain even though that choice is -ev. c) Much more!

Hackers and Painters - One of the most insightful, subversive, and surprising texts out there.

C Interfaces and Implementations - Great examples of good API design and how to build clean modular code.

The Paleo Manifesto - Explains how the origin of religion was probably as a set of models for coping with the transition from hunting/gathering to civilized agriculture. The part of the book where he points out that the story of the fall of man in the Bible is probably the story of this transition is super interesting.

The Game - Made me realize that the narrative told by boomer and gen-x parents about how to attract a woman is probably doing young men (and women) more harm than good. I would not try to treat this as a how-to manual, though. A fun yarn.

Starting Strength - After years of fumbling around in the gym this cut through a lot of bad ideas about fitness, exercise, strength, and health. It lead to the first real (and lasting) progress I've ever made physically.

He did it for SEO purposes most likely.

"Was the effect on your rankings worth it ?" would be a better question.
It wouldn't be valuable if everyone had it.
Not at all, but it does usually signal a degradation in the diplomatic relationship between two entities, so you often see it in the run-up to war.

Withdrawing or ejecting embassy staff has an impact on a governments ability to represent and assist individuals and businesses of your nation in a country, which is why ejection is a strong stick in the diplomacy game, but in Cuba, the historical situation would simply result in this being a return to a pre-Obama diplomatic situation.
A quick search online reveals plenty of sources of replacement sensors, at a fraction of the cost of the complete camera.
I've had a couple of bad experiences with safety. Not many, but a few.

One was when a driver straight-up ran a red light. He had plenty of advance warning. It turned yellow when it was still off in the distance, and it had been red red for a few seconds when he went in. I made sure to file a complaint.

Another driver made a left turn from the rightmost lane of a six-lane road. She had plenty of warning: Google Maps had been telling her to make a left for a while, and I kept telling her "you'll want to get in the left lane". She ignored both me and the nav. That was a one-star ride.

I also had one bad experience with a driver who got furious at me for pointing out a No U-Turn sign to him. This one will need a map.

We were on a divided road (i.e., with a median, no jumping across), and our destination was on the other side of the road. The next intersection after our destination had a No U-Turn sign, and Google Maps instructed us to go on to the intersection after that and make the U-turn there. Driver decided he wanted to make a U-Turn at the intersection with the No U-Turn sign instead.

In case this is confusing, here's a map of what was going on

| | |N|
===| |======|O|==================
<-CAR
---| |------|U|------------------
T
===| |======|U|========== ======
| | |R| DESTINATION
| | |N|

While he was in the left lane with his blinker on, I kept telling him over and over that there was a No U-Turn sign and that what he was doing was illegal. Eventually, he relented, and for the rest of the ride, he started audibly huffing and puffing. He was utterly furious at me for not letting him make an illegal U-Turn.

Oh, and when he let me off, he parked in a handicap spot. I one-starred him, flagged him for Navigation, Safety, and Friendliness, and wrote the details of what he did; hopefully, someone at Lyft noticed.

I've actually seen a lot of drivers let me out in handicap spots. I always warn them, and they say they'll move out right away, but it makes me really nervous every time. I normally don't report or one-star people for that alone, but I made sure to do that in his case because of his huffing and puffing act. Oh, and he left me a really bad first impression when he first picked me up. He locked the front door and told me to get in the back. I'm a large person, and he had a dinky little Nissan Versa. No way am I fitting in the back of that rollerskate. He didn't unlock the front door until I told him I'd cancel the ride if he didn't let me in the front. It really pisses me off when drivers of econobox hoopties act like limo drivers. Dude, you own a Nissan Versa, not a Lincoln Town Car. Act like it.

(actually, I hate it when Uber/Lyft drivers in large sedans act like limo drivers too... as far as I'm concerned, getting out of the car to open the door for me is an automatic cancellation... I find it creepy, and I won't ride with someone who pulls that crap)

Edit: Oh, and I've also had a couple of drivers who were texting throughout the ride.
I find the same thing with black cab drivers or Adison Lee. At least uber/adison lee don't pollute the bus lanes.

Downthemall was the only reason I was still using firefox. The "replacements" are extremely poor imitations, disappointing but I guess all good things must come to an end.
I do not think this symbol is nor used (in addition with a letter), nor ever called anything but "backtick". it's not an "accent grave" (even if it might be used as it), but a revert appstrophe - backtick or backquote.
Only if the US lost its Political Power. Currently the USD still holds its value because OPEC standardize on using it for the Oil Currency (Petrodollar), and early aggressive lending to the third world country with USD.

When electric cars become mainstream, I expect there will be a turmoil in the USD
Just for curiosity: What happened to the other 45%? Has the government seized it? Was it lost before, but now they have to make it public? Is it a "shipping and handling cost"?
Funny part is, you're still wrong. There is a need obviously, as people are switching.

If I deposit to GDAX, sell to USD, and withdraw to my bank it will be there in 1 business day. It's been that way for years, for almost everyone I know. ACH pulls take longer, sure, but what I said is correct.

Also, multiple countries implemented negative interest rates[1]. Japan isn't an anomaly.

What you might lose from BTC fluctuation, you may also gain, as seen by the 400% YTD growth, this year alone[2].

How Fire and Fatigue Almost Destroyed an American Carrier
I think you're going about this wrong. The difference is what harm is "valid"; if I laugh at you and humiliate you, it may indeed make you upset and traumatized, and I think it may be morally or ethically wrong for me to do that - but should that mean that there is a law against that?

At some point we draw the line, and in almost all other respects the line is drawn elsewhere - in that mere knowledge of an act occuring is not sufficient to make that act illegal.

The equivalent here would be the fact that the robber is in the gas station, I think? Should the robber not be allowed to be anywhere where he may even be seen by you? In the same way, even though the abuse of the child was problematic, should someone who views the abuse be disallowed from doing so? And further, there is even more disconnect here, making your analogy much weaker - what does the victim know of the instance in which someone views that recording?
Try that bus lane blocking stud fin the uk and you'll find the bus has taken a picture of you, and a hefty fine will land on the door of the registered keeper of the car.

For some reason in London, black cabs (racist drivers with low standards, high fares, and cash only for tax evasion) have lobbied for their drivers to be included in the "public transport" group, meaning bus lanes are full of buses and rich businessmen going to meetings.
I am not saying they are lacking politics. I am saying that they have less relevant public elections
Well, no, in this scenario, it is actually the function (in your words, the graph of the function) that is convex. A 2D example would be y = x^2 (a parabola), which is a convex function. A 3D example would be a paraboloid function, which is also a convex function.

The "volume" (or "area" in the 2D case) above the graph is called an epigraph.

One property of convex functions is that their epigraphs are convex sets (note the word "sets" this time).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigraph_(mathematics)

Convex sets are more abstract in meaning, but in general in means can draw a straight-line between any two points in the region without going outside of the region.

Perhaps your notion of convexity comes from a mental idea of the shapes of convex and concave lenses? Those are good visualizations but in mathematics, convexity has a subtler, more rigorous meaning. With this rigorous meaning comes many nice mathematical properties that make optimizing them easier than nonconvex functions.
What on earth is this article talking about? Sparsity and control flow are horrendous and basically the two things a gpu wants nothing to do with. And graph algorithms generally run on CPUs in supercomputers, not GPUs, for precisely those reasons.

The only way any of this makes sense is if the article is talking specifically about graph processors (e.g. the Cray Eldorado, which to be fair, is mentioned), but there are very few commercial graph processors and even those are shrinking in importance. The number one parallel processor is the gpu, the only one with any chance of making it into the mainstream, and even that is far from mainstream. And the gpu hates control flow and sparsity.
The first time, maybe it was just innocent espionage. But now that they continue to use it despite knowledge of the effects, I would consider it a weapon.

Really, espionage is a weapon of sorts, but crossing the realm to knowingly cause physical harm to diplomats is a threshold. The quiet war is getting less quiet.
