Well, if you want to delve into a subject for curiosity alone then university would be the place to do it. Just don't expect it to necessarily turn into a career.

Maybe just answer this: do you enjoy working with people, or not? Then, after that, what are you optimizing for: money, or job satisfaction?
Thats easy to avoid. US Co will sell to Ireland Co which in turn will sell in UK/France. Since Ireland legally allows to go profit as low as 0.05%. UK/France is not getting much.

Also when US says 20%. It means US gets £100. US aint the sharing type :p.

Archlinux based distros are cool, until updating to a supposed "stable package" and the system is broken and you have to solve it to be able to boot again. When this happens the 3rd time you just give up on rolling releases and move onto something like Debian for stability.
Does Arch still releases unsigned packages? remember that in the old days that was my deal breaker but surely for a desktop pc is miles better than Ubuntu.
I largely agree.

However, I think it is important for regulations to generally (not always) be structured on a sliding scale that is directly related to company size, i.e. the bigger the business, the more regulations it becomes subject to. Otherwise, regulations become a cudgel with which small businesses are beaten down because only the big established players can afford to comply. In today's age of regulatory capture in the USA, we are seeing this play out. Industries have been consolidating, and the productivity gains therefrom are not being passed onto the consumer via price cuts.
> because the cost of floats is too expensive for realtime audio

Round(Sample * 32767) is really that slow?

If you're doing integer DSP, you still need to deal with 16 -> 24, or 24 -> 16 overhead; and then the DAC still is converting to its own internal resolution. (Granted, 16 <-> 24 can be simple bit shifting if aliasing is acceptable.)

Misread your comment
I think things will get a lot better when the underlying enabling technology is in good shape. The audio engine needs to be running in a real-time thread, with all communication with the rest of the world in nonblocking IO. There are lots of ways to do this, but one appealing path is to expose threading and atomics in wasm; then the techniques can be used for lots of things, not just audio. Another possibility is to implement Worker.postMessage() in a nonblocking way. None of this is easy, and will take time.

If we had gone with the Audio Data API, it wouldn't have been satisfying, because the web platform's compute engine simply could not meet the requirement of reliably delivering audio samples on schedule. Fortunately, that is in the process of changing.

Given these constraints, the complexity of building a signal processing graph (with the signal path happening entirely in native code) is justified, if those signal processing units are actually useful. I don't think we've seen the evidence for that.

I'd personally be happy with a much simpler approach based on running wasm in a real-time thread, and removing (or at least deprecating) the in-built behavior. It's very hard to specify the behavior of something like DynamicsCompressorNode precisely enough that people can count on consistent behavior across browsers. To me, that's a sign perhaps it shouldn't be in the spec.

A large service is a service where your friends, parents, coworkers, etc have a high probability to have already joined, thus making the service instantly more useful for communicating with them. Next thing is that you and they will pull in your other related people, again for ease of communication. This is the "network effect".

For a federated service, like email or phone, this is not a problem: the union of all service providers is the entire service, and more providers can connect. So connecting to any compliant provider is fine, and providers have an incentive to be good, or at least outcompete each other by some metric.

For a siloed and sealed-up service, like Facebook or Twitter, once you and (most of) your social graph is there, there's no way anyone can connect from the outside; to be connected with you, they need to dive into the same silo. The bigger the service grows, the harder it becomes for people outside not to consider joining, because of the pull of the part of their social graph who already joined.

I think that federated services will always exist, as long as unimpeded internet connectivity is allowed. I also think that 1-2 huge walled gardens will also exist, for the same reasons why phishing using dancing kittens videos will continue to exist: many humans are emotion-driven and don't value [insert a list here] when overwhelmed by a positive emotion from something new, cute, and free to use.

>In fact, if you look to history and the creation of the first states in Sumeria thousands of years ago, the raison d'etre of those states were to use violence and propaganda so that an idle class could expropriate surplus labor time from their slaves doing all the work.

No arguments here. I don't support either side. It's clear who will always be able to exploit the government most which is why it should be obviated.
In addition to the other informative responses, negotiations "rely on the monopoly that the state provides" in nearly all contractual negotiations that take place[1]. Aside from baselines like enforcement, the state dictates tons of terms that must or must not be contractually binding that vary heavily depending on sector.

Your complaint seems to reduce to the existence of the modern state.

My advice is that most learning takes place outside of the classroom. I learned more when I joined a research group in my third year than I did in my first two years combined. That said, take as much math as you can. You don't need a lot of math to make webpages / iPhone apps, but if you want to do something more complicated (AI, bioinformatics, etc.), having those extra tools in your box will make it that much easier.

Caret substitution:

it's pretty amazing how ignorant people are, and all in the name of intellectual superiority.

you probably have a good job due to all kinds of luck (though im sure you don't think there was any luck) and then quickly judge these people for making a stupid decision. Meanwhile these people have very limited options and buying a medallion was the closest thing they could do as an investment into their future. is it a racket? maybe, but so is the stock market and corporate jobs. just because they are still working out, does not mean they will forever. Much like medallions it's all a myth that will work as long as it's not disrupted by something else. So these people put so much money on the line to buy into this system and work 2-3 shifts/day driving your drunk ass from club to club and all you can do is look back and call them stupid for buying into something that was impossible to predict that would be disrupted so quickly. it's so easy to turn around after a disruption and call anyone in the disrupted industry a fool for buying into "a system that shouldn't have existed"

/end rant.
Thanks for the correction regarding escaping, but I think you went a little overboard on the other alterations:

> Omitted optional quotes for fields that don't need them

I think it's good policy to always wrap your contents in quotes regardless of whether you have a delimiter that needs quoting. And in fact many CSV marshallers will do just this.

> And there is no space after a comma

That was added purely for readability on HN. I agree it's not how you'd normally marshal the contents.

My complaint is that the path to improving their space is "humans hardcoding endless rule lists".

Section 3.1 of the paper outlines a list of 'hand-authored' functions the agent used to derive events from images. They include animation, sprite-entity relationships, motion, collision, and camera movement. Which is to say, every component of Super Mario level 1-1.

That doesn't mean the paper is uninteresting, or useless. Defining facts based on those possible rules is still an intriguing result. I'm having real trouble working out from the paper how well their agent understood conditional changes like size and fire flowers - if it accurately recreated those rules, then I am impressed.

But "modeled without accessing the code" is a dubious claim about an agent that started with a list of the core rules included in its code. The Engine Learning section (3.2) mentions that automatic derivation of possible facts is a key area for future work. That is to say "this would be flexible if it did feature learning instead of needing feature engineering". Unfortunately, that's the problem in agent design, and the value of CNNs isn't unbeatable performance but the capacity for flexible feature learning. The press release here elides the issue of feature learning entirely when comparing performance.

Depends. If they have their own set of values and rules (no matter how arbitrary) that don't include sexual restrictions, they might end up having their own sense of community.

If their lack of sexual rules is part of a bigger 'no rules or values needed' system, then I would really doubt that they can develop a pepper sense of community.

> In my understanding what you are saying is, a country will tax profit on revenue generating from its own territory by its own tax rate.

Say we have a hypothetical company that operates only in Sweden and Ireland, and has offices only in Ireland. It has a revenue of €10M and a profit of €1M.

This company had €4M (40%) of it's revenue in Sweden (tax rate 22%) and 60% of the revenue in Ireland (tax rate 12.5%). How should this corporation be taxed?

By proportion of revenue according to the normal tax rate in the country. So

In Sweden: Tax 40% (the proportion of revenue) of the profit

(€4M/10M) * €1M * 0.22 = €88k

In Ireland : Tax 60% of the profit

(€6M/10M) * €1M * 0.125 = €75k

So the total tax went from €125k to €163k, because the corporation was forced to pay taxes where it made business, rather than on Ireland alone.

Basically you just pretend that the corporation was in fact two corporations, where one €4M revenue corporation was in Sweden and the other was a €6M revenue corporation in Ireland. That's all.

Aside from the huge time-sink that's involved in any MMO, I mostly don't want to have to have a part-time job playing politics. That's what kills it for me; I love that Eve Online exists, but I have zero interest whatsoever building a whole other parallel set of friendships, alliances, etc. outside of my current life. Even if they were the nicest antithesis of League of Legends chat, I just don't have the emotional energy to put into it.

A Dropbox hack is nothing most users have to protect themselves against. Same as with a google breach where GMail data gets leaked.

As a personal user of no special interest, no one would use a potential Dropbox vulnerability to just get your data. If you secure your end you'll be fine. That's different for big corporations or people with a public profile (e.g. politicians). In this case you have to ensure that malicious actors with a lot of money and knowledge cannot gain access. But then again, self hosting is likely less secure than Dropbox or Google.

You're correct - the Atlas (ICBM as well as the current Centaur second stage) design that requires constant pressurization is known as a balloon tank.[0] SpaceX doesn't use balloon tanks, but it does pressurize tanks with nitrogen during transport to keep the tank walls rigid and prevent damage.

Seconded. I chose a BS in Informations systems and took many CS classes as electives. Looking back it would've taken me longer to graduate due to a difference in course requirements, but it would've been worth it for CS.

I self-taught anyway so it worked out for me but a formal algorithm class would've been nice. My IS program did more web dev and web app development which is what I'm interested in.

Looking at getting a masters in the next few years, not sure if a masters in CS, IS, or an MBA, gasp!, would be best. Some soul searching is required.

The auto insurance company. That is why you have medical on your policy. Of course you may have to sue someone to get it.
