Just last week I explained to the kids that a mini computer is pretty huge. My 8 yo boy had said something about this tiny computer and called it a minicomputer. "Mini computers are pretty huge. At the time they were made, computers filled rooms, so a computer the size of a washing machine WAS small. And the big computer on your desk is a microcomputer because it's even smaller."

Mind. Blown.
It is much more complicated than this. Yes there are a lot of flags but there are also lots of places where there are no flags.

In my building in Barcelona there are 10 flats. 2 flats have occupants who speak Catalan as the mother tongue, 4 flats with occupants who speak Spanish as their mother tongue and 2 flats with foreign languages.

The language divide isn't always an indicator of their views, in the building there are Spanish speakers who want to vote yes, Catalan speakers that will vote no and a general consensus that everyone would just like the legal option to vote regardless of yes/no leanings.
Entropy. It's the law.
> They've proven useful for buying drugs, but beyond that they've not created many new business opportunities.

The Ransomware business model has really taken off as well.
Yes all of this is true. I do think studying how the brain works will provide very useful ideas of what might work in AI. At the very least it is a very interesting area to learn about.
If this is referring to Electrolysis, that has been in stable Firefox for about a year now, and it was an initiative whose planning began in 2009. Seven years from inception to delivery is a long time, and indeed was largely attributable to trying to find ways to avoid breaking every extension in the universe, and then being forced to break every extension anyway, and then laboriously fixing up all the broken extensions over a very long period. After such a grueling task I don't blame them for coming to the painful conclusion that Firefox simply can't keep pace with other browsers while maintaining the all-pervasive legacy extension system, especially since Electrolysis was just a first tentative step towards effective multiprocessing.

Indeed, I'm one of the people who has suffered from losing legacy Firefox extensions (find me a substitute for LeechBlock, please!), but I can see how much of a burden it was for the developers to compete on performance and security, which I value more. I'm hopeful that Firefox will continue to add sane extension APIs to help close the gap with what was previously possible without regressing to the old quagmire. Fingers crossed, but they've done well delivering so far with 57.
She has traits of [Borderline?] Personality Disorder, but I found out about BPD after whole thing went down in flames and I started doing research.
She is 35. Attractive. Abused childhood, absent mother that went around banging man and abusive stepfather, father left when she was 2. She had 3 marriages that collapsed, numerous engagements that probably fell as well, and shit-load of relationships that are short-lived(6m-1y). And of course, all men were terrible. On top, she has eating disorder and thin as rail.

Entire ordeal sounds like some evil plot to destroy me. My older friends, who went through divorces, were shocked and said this by far nastiest break-up they heard about.

A company known for tracking the ever-loving shit out of everyone across the Internet distributes a best-in-class web browser absolutely for free. If that's not enough, I really hope you're able to hold on to that innocence as you start using the Internet more and more in the future.
Just out of curiosity, what do you do with all that RAM?
Thank goodness they didn't manage to compromise motorcycles yet!
There was a series of films in the late 70s which were an indirect adaptation: Star Wars (have you heard of them? Worth checking out)
Among the countries of the EU, Spain is probably on the top half with regards to protecting the different cultures that form it. Catalan, Basque, and other languages used to be talked in France too.
A mini version of the Commodore 64 is coming in 2018
I can see how you'd have that perception but the term covers a wide swath of use cases. Search engine spam is not nearly the issue it once was. Most SEO pages are created to account for two things: product marketing content cannot contain all the possible terms that people use when searching without becoming unintelligible and data served dynamically through SPAs, especially geographically localized data, is still challenging to expose to search engines even with universal apps.
Present day AI on the Deep Learning side is a lot like what you describe. We haven't really had the Newtonian foundations yet. The theoretical foundations are quite limited because they are hard to figure out. But the techniques with less established theory work far better on most applications in AI. Redirecting work into areas of AI that have more solid theoretical foundations but worse application performance is not the way forward. I'm all for figuring out hard theoretical foundations but I'm strongly opposed to redirecting research funding to techniques that result in worse applications. I'd also argue modelling the physics isn't always the right approach: vocal tract modelling for speech is an interesting approach that produces much worse speech than state of the art synthesis techniques. It will probably continue to do so for a long time. For vocal tract modelling to produce better synthesis you'd need the physical model to be less lossy in all it's parameterizations and modelling simplifications than any statistical fitting of data. And you'd still need some statistical model of the choices the human makes in producing speech and you'd want that statistical model to work better than the neural network that takes on a larger portion of the problem and replaces the physical model of sound production.
There have been plenty of examples of this and will continue to be. The most obvious recent example that I can think of would be Uber and the way they blocked regulators from seeing what was really happening.
That was Mozilla's official excuse for discontinuing Firefox OS.

I never said I agreed with it.
Ideally, I agree it should be taught in school. But frankly, our education system is so screwed on even teaching basics, I don't think it could handle something as critical as this.

What about something that would get both parents and their kids involved? This is a multigenerational problem and it might help to get everyone involved on both points.
Everyone has something to hide. It doesn't even have to be anything particularly shameful.

An Easter Egg for another Easter Egg... it seemed just right to me (and I didn't want to interrupt the article's flow with that, admittedly)
Doesn't that work in firefox on the mac?
It works with ctrl+shift+c on win+linux, so I'm personally not missing anything here.
So what would be the dominant tribe for all of us that want the EU to integrate further?
I'm hesitant to call them racist on a whole (though there most likeley are racists among their ranks) but the Republic of Texas group and their spiritual successor the Texas Nationalist Movement have been around for close to three decades now.

They're the fringiest of the fringe though.
> They have a lot of money in the bank. Donations are a drop in the bucket

What is the basis for these statements? Mozilla's budget is far less than its competitors, Google, Apple, and Microsoft; I expect they could find good uses for a little more.
I am however one of those. While I understand the technical reasons for the switch I don't think it has been handled well. Extensions I rely on daily are going to cease functioning because the WebExtensions API isn't mature enough for the developers to migrate. Are they going to wait? Probably not... most affected will probably abandon their projects because FF rushed the transition and their user base is about to drop off a cliff due to no fault of their own. I would feel pretty abandoned.
I can say that as a combat vet with under control ptsd I just want to say these are good basic conversation points but I highly encourage people to attempt cognitive emotional behavioral therapy (CEBT/CBT), especially for people who dislike therapists and want to work throught their own shit. Once the science finally made it's way to practice, I have seen many fellow combat vets who responded poorly to other treatments make amazing progress under CBT/CEBT.

Drugs: Fuck that seratonin zombie bullshit! Try smoking some cannabis instead of drinking next time. I personally also have this theory that ayahuasca can cause ego-busting outlook shifts for people with everything from alcoholism to ptsd, but there hasn't been enought science done on the subject yet and I can't speak anecdotally because I haven't been able to afford the trip down to Peru. Other drugs with potential positive effects on ptsd/anxiety/depression are MDMA, peyote, morning glory, and salvia divinorum. Of course do your own research and consult a doc if you intend do any of this.

It's a crime that so many potential medicines are illegal.
Is that relevant when we talk about GDP ? Even if little money flows from Barcelona to the central government (I don't know if this is or is not the case, since I don't live in Spain), that shouldn't make a difference, since "GDP measures the monetary value of final goods and services - that is, those that are bought by the final user - produced in a country in a given period of time (say a quarter or a year)."[1]

Maybe you were thinking about taxes ?

I've had a great idea for changing recruiting, to allow managers to sort and hire based off psychometric testing, proprietary ranking algorithms, and financial guarantees, rather than looks or networking. However, #2, I don't really _love_ to sell, but I've done it (telemarketing), and #3 I have trouble focusing or finishing and rely on J-types for that. Also, I'm working on another project so don't have time.

You say you want to start with the perspective of the candidates, but are the candidates paying? Your real customers are companies. They are the ones paying. They are your customers. You will end up catering to them.

Embedded job listings (like AdSense) is a novel concept I haven't seen yet. It has potential.
Both uBlock Origin and Tree Style Tabs (as well as Tab Center Redux, which I prefer) are already compatible with Firefox 57.
Because an improved theoretical understanding of how complex systems work can be incredibly valuable. Anesthesia is a good example - we get a lot of value from it, yes, but it would be way better if we could tailor dosages to individuals based on an understanding of how that individual will experience pain. There would be fewer severe complications, but also maybe you could wake up refreshed an hour after surgery instead of in a stupor.

If this could work with computer-trained models, that would be incredible too. What could a great speech understanding system teach us about language? What tricks from a facial-expression classifier could help autistic kids understand their friends?
Interesting article about it: https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/29/16385026/elon-musk-spacex...
IBM is almost certainly committing dollars or people to make that s390 (and PPC64) support happen.

How is being "forced" to speak the local language any different than what any other schooling system does? Do Madrilenian schools allows kids to choose their primary language, now?

They brought nearly a million muslim people to Catalunya to work

Only ~520k Muslims live in Catalunya. Meanwhile, Andalucia has more than 300k and Madrid over 280k, so it's not like there's such a big difference. http://observatorio.hispanomuslim.es/estademograf.pdf
If you're talking about the situation in Spain, you're very misinformed. The judiciary police isn't doing anything at all based on people's political preference. That would be flagrantly illegal.
Is that fallout 4 specific, or could you do that in fallout NV too?
I have no idea, but a quick Google turns up lots of stories like this:

Man you are so lucky her true colors showed before you had a kid together!!! You will find someone else, someone better who will love you for you and just want to be with you.
The biggest issue is that we never had an open debate. When the first politics asked to be independent they wanted to be an associate state, so not really independent. Now politics say they want to be completely independent but at the same time they assume they will be in the European Union and Barcelona will still play in the Spanish League. So the group you are talking about is really a minority, they are different groups depends on the type of independence they have in mind. They don't fight against theirselves because the central government close any possible debate and blame all the independents the same way. (even all catalans)
Heat up regolith?
Even worse, it's a walled garden. You can't edit or make your own extensions without getting each change approved by Mozilla first. They say to use the alpha(dev) or unbranded versions but the former is unstable and the later has no packaging or language support.
Tyranny is a group not allowing another group to decide what to do.

Hear yourself: "the referendum is not legal".
Such a nice view of what democracy is.

So willing to vote and say goodbye to this bla-bla-bla-this is not legal, that is not legal.

Good bye opressors. My deceased family in the war the dicator won will be really happy if we can finally separate. Too many open wounds you have never tried to heal.
I will applaud (and support) both of you when you colonize Antarctica and the sea floor. What's your plan, timeline, and source of financing?
They don't share their reports since 2015 - basically when the contract with Google ended.

Now, I don't think they are poor, but being a company that doesn't sell your data, doesn't show ads, etc...

I mean, frankly, I think that such products are really hard to find nowadays. Their revenues come primarily by Google competitors (Yahoo, etc., which try to appear as default search engine).
Hey I'd appreciate if you could ping me your email address to support@sitebulb.com so we can see what's going wrong with your account (or lack thereof).
>"Before he was known for the NSA leaks he was still a privacy activist ..."

So he was a privacy activist while he worked at the NSA? Isn't this a bit like being a healthcare activist and working for McDonalds?
Most of those experts aren't looking to solve general AI problems, they're looking for solutions to specific problems like basic image recognition. And you don't need a full human brain to do that, and you don't need to conform to the way humans and other biological systems do it. You're not aiming for full human intelligence, so you don't need to care too much about how humans learn.

That said, I find when trying to solve a problem with ML techniques, it's better to use someone who knows the problem domain really well than someone who only knows ML really well. Someone who really understands the problem they're trying to solve can encode that knowledge into their models when training the system. While I've seen people who really know ML but lack the specific domain knowledge labor for weeks, coming back to me with "discoveries" that are already well known.
Unfortunately, for me at least, it's not a viable option. Firefox on android still feels significantly more sluggish than chrome. Plus, googles questionable business practice of embedding chrome into many apps, while making opening links very fast, adds another three clicks to someone not using chrome.
I really can't stand browsing without an ad blocker nowadays. This is the reason I do it at all on the mobile.
> And the Nightly builds are (typically) _more_ stable than production-issue from other vendors.

I actually managed to crash nightly yesterday! Maybe this seems like it ought to be banal, but I think it says something admirable when users are surprised to remember that your pre-beta software is pre-beta. :P
What happened to the folding UK plug?
I took his point not to criticize those early stages, but simply to acknowledge them as such. Early fire users could not have built a rocket no matter how many experiments they performed until they understood combustion (and some other sciences).

In AI, we're not building rockets yet, but we have some really awesome and really powerful bonfires or whatever.

At least that's how I understood his point.

(And in anesthesia, when we do understand those things, we may very well look on our use today as barbaric or dangerous.)
Maybe delete this comment, or think a bit then delete it.
It looks good. And I don't want to come off as dismissive, I am just genuinely wondering: How can I know they are trustworthy? Has it been recommended by any security or cryptography experts? This is the first time I am hearing about Bitwarden and not being a security expert, I don't know how I can ascertain their trustworthiness.
FF56 has a weird problem. It seems all keyboard shortcuts are extremely slow with a delay of several seconds. For example closing a tab with "X" is fast, but pressing "Command+W" causes several seconds delay.

Has anyone else seen this problem?
Human perception and intelligence are by no means infallible, but neither are they anywhere near being as brittle as current AI. The thing about illusions is that we generally know that we are being subject to an illusion, and we also usually have the depth of understanding to know when we don't understand something about what we are seeing or think we have heard, and we have the depth of understanding to think of actions we can take to resolve the issue.

As for cognitive biases, has any AI even come close enough to be comparable on that issue? For that matter, has any AI come close to understanding the concept of an optical illusion?

I am also encouraged by recent progress, but there is nothing to be gained in playing down the distance to go.
According to wikipedia, there were 135 shuttle missions. So, a 1.481% failure rate in case anyone was wondering.
I don't want to discuss politics, there is data in the same (official) web I pointed in the above comment.
I you loved that 'joke', then get this: in Quicksilver, Jack Shaftoe ends up working at an animal hospital as a human blood bag, feeding the bloodsucking insects. He get the job since the local workers are refusing to work as a negotiating tactic, so the owner employs him as an outsider. The work entails that he sustain multiple bloody injuries, so he gets covered with what he literally is: a scab.

I prefer David's Foster Wallace's gymnosophist in Infinite Jest, who literally never moved from the gym.

A quick check of the definition confirms that 'rule of law' doesn't actually have anything to do with democracy, at least according to Google's results.
I had a slightly more diplomatic thought when I encountered the same thing.

It looks like it's JS+CSS, so we should probably submit an AdBlock rule update for it.
Perhaps not, but the hope is someone who installs this stuff for a living has encountered these situations enough to know how to handle them, whereas the average person who might try to install this on their own is likely encountering that for the first time.
Do you have an adblocker? It makes it very easy to block anotations and all other kinds of annoying crap.
What Bitcoin miners are really solving(2013)
I should point out in this case it's almost certainly a genuine call to research the foundations underlying the working techniques more as Duvenaud publishes research using mostly the techniques that work well on applications.
Awesome! Yeah, that was our main design focus. Make it feel like you're building a vanilla React web app but make it as speedy as the fastest websites.
Well, we all know how well that worked out!
I've heard time and again that the race to the moon yielded many of the technologies we take for granted today. I'm sure that statement should be critically examined, and perhaps those benefits quantified. But I believe all of that money spent has been recouped many times over.
I've definitely read things on how much fracting has increased, especially in the last 5 to 10 years. We talked a good green game but it was the economy that won out.
Thats odd. I'm on Safari 11.0 (build 12604.1.38.1.7) on MacOS 10.12.6 and it all works
I was a Mozilla employee so I kind of know the numbers. The CEO is always claiming during the all hands that Mozilla's financial situation is better than ever.
Not Monero, which already has a proven track record of being um...untrackable?
I hope he doesn't. The biggest problem for privacy is the completely ingorant knowledge/attitude the vast amount of people has towards it.
Should be noted it is from 2012 in the title.
I am not. And I am sure they will not want to waste time with a goose chase.

Remember, in this scenario, you don't really have any knowledge or suspicion that they are just ripping you off.
55% mother/habitual tongue. In the above link (official data, from an official source) is explained in detail.
So you want the 49 unit building full of mentally ill, momentarily-homefull homeless people living next to you? If you're serious that's great, but it seems like maybe you haven't thought about it too much.

On another note, I'm curious about the ease with which the taxpayers were convinced to blow money on said project. "Free cash for bums? Sign me up!" Was the proposal written in a way that made it seem like they'd be doing the opposite of what was intended? That's really, really common for particularly insane referenda.
> It'd be great if they fixed the memory leak so I could leave tabs open for more than a day

Something else is wrong. For years, I've regularly had >100 tabs open for weeks at a time.
It's immoral to forcibly drag people down when they'd do better on their own. The crab mentality is awful.
It is worth mentioning Chromium is open source too.
TBH, Lazarus Form Recovery was one of the only things keeping me on Chrome. But since all development has stopped, maybe the doors to Firefox have opened again.
The judge in Catalonia doesn't mind what it seems to you or anyone: her job is to interpret and apply the law. As the Supreme Court did, e.g., when they sent a Ministro del Interior to prison.

The law isn't written by the Spanish government either, it's written by Congress. A Congress in which nationalistic parties have more representation per number of voters than other parties with a higher number of total voters.

Insinuations that the judges in Catalonia are puppets of the Spanish government ignore the reality of Spain.
Just FYI for anyone not aware - Snowden dismissed Monero on the basis of a bug that was resolved several months ago.
You could try Synoptek. They do this globally in Equinix sites
