57 just entered Beta. It will be released on the 14th November. That's a whole 6 weeks still.

It also is not the end of all Firefox development. Just because it's not necessarily done for 57, doesn't mean that it won't get fixed or that it will "NEVER" work well.

It's also nonsense to make assumptions about what will work in Firefox in the future based on what works in Chrome, as Mozilla is introducing additional APIs that Chrome does not have.

If you're happy with Vivaldi, your thing. But there also is Firefox 52 ESR, which will continue to get security updates until the 26th June 2018.
What do you mean by discouraged?

I'm from the US and my wife is from Barcelona. Her family all speaks Catalan between each other but they are perfectly happy speaking Spanish with me (as are all of their family's friends and associates).

Between my wife and her friends, they speak probably a 50/50 mix of Catalan/Spanish.

I have never heard or seen anyone in all of Catalunya be discouraging or negative in relation to speaking Spanish.

When I was first in Spain, the calls for independence were few and far between compared to now, but the situation hasn't improved so they continue to grow.

But the basis of those calls, from what I've seen, is primarily rooted in real, economic/political issues. They aren't calling for independence because they have a different language, but because Spain is not providing them with the fair share of resources they need to succeed and grow as a region.

You know what I want YouTube to "crack" on? Assholes that say "But, what do you guys think? Let me know in the comments section bellow." Any video of those should be immediately demonetized.

As a former tech recruiter in Stockholm I can assure you that they do. These devs, however, usually do not have a degree from university/college, and are either juniors and/or self taught. If you look at the university/college educated devs the story is different, but not by that much.

Entry level median salary for devs without higher education from the year I left recruitment (2013/2014) was 28000 USD per year. Add 3000 USD for entry level devs with university/college education.

YMMV but I don't think things have changed that much since then.
I fail to see what the problem with accepting ads would be, after all anyone who did not want the ads could simply fork the software. Even he could make a ads-free fork. Moreover I am pretty sure that all GNU/Linux distros would include it without any ads.

Also, he might have refused "refused several tens of millions of € to keep the software ads free" however he did not mind relicensing VLC for free under a less copyleft and user-protecting license so that it would be included in the apple store.
Why wouldn't Barcelona continue to play in the Spanish League? Swansea (Welsh) currently play in the English Premier League (as did Cardiff City until they were relegated). Monaco play in the French league, San Marino in the Italian, there's a German team that plays in the Swiss leagues and an Austrian team that plays in the German league... Europe is a curious patchwork of teams playing in other countries...

No one objects that capitalism isn't a good optimization processes. Just that it's optimizing the wrong utility function. At one point something like 50% of STEM majors at MIT went to work on wall street. And the ones that don't go there go to work making more efficient targeted advertisements or addictive smartphone games or other unethical shit.

Our population has a limited number of "smart people". I don't think any alien looking in from the outside, would think we are allocating them even remotely efficiently. It would be pretty difficult to design a system that does worse than ours on this aspect.

The solution isn't necessarily communism, but perhaps a hybrid. E.g. the government funds things capitalism has no incentive to optimize for, like scientific research.

Deep learning does not seem to abstract very well. Train on a data set then test with images that are simply upside down and the preformance can be significant.

Feature extraction also works much better when you toss a lot of data and processing power behind it. So, a lot of progress is simply more data and computing power vs better approaches. Consider how poorly deep leaning works when using a single 286.

The human participant may consider multiple distinct machine results, each a point in the space of algorithm, data set, bias applied to the problem domain. Human intuition is injected into the process and the result will be greater than the sum of the machines and a lone human mind.

What is interesting to note, now that above idea is considered, is that this process model itself belongs to the set of human-machine coordinations. Another process model is where low level human mind is used to perform recognition tasks too hard (or too slow) for machine to perform, for example using porn surfers to perform computation tasks via e.g. captcha like puzzles.

Long term social ramifications of all this is also interesting to consider as it motivates machines to breed distinct types of humans ;)

A bit surprised that the article don't mention what the OKCupid blog wrote, which is that age is not a good statistical predictor for what man a woman will date. It is however an excellent predictor for men.

What is an excellent predictor for what man a woman will date, according to the OKCupid data, is income of the man statistically anchored to the income of the woman. This produce a very similar looking graph to this article, where the older the woman the more income she has and the more income she is looking in a man.
Just a quick question/remark: I have a feeling that it's best to think about DNNs as approximating a function, not a program. (only then you obtain a program as a result of applying this function). But because mathematically, you can formalise your big NN as one big parameterised function, I think it's more correct to view a NN as a function...

Optimisation in program space would be trying to find both the structure (connections and activation functions) and weights of the NN, which is not what we do currently. We tend to hand/engineer (or keep what works best empirically) the architecture (1), then train by finding the best weights.

I am very interested in approaches to efficiently opmitise in program space, and DL/backprop doesn't feel like it

(1) although this is starting to change.
Most European monarchies were not absolute. The nobles, the burghers and the church could of often have substantial powers. A king ruling a bunch of regions with varying degrees of autonomy was the norm.
Still doesn't explain why I can't name a hugely popular programming language, library or framework created by a French programmer but several by Swedes, Norwegians, Danes, and Dutch, all small countries but where English is a very strong second language. I'm sure there are great French programmers and programming languages, but doesn't is strike you as remarkable that there are not more?

From a country of 5 million (Denmark) you got the creators or cocreators of C++, C#, PHP, Ruby on Rails, Turbo Pascal etc. From a country of 60 million you got ...?

I don't think you're an outlier.

The numbers behind the OKCupid graph are likely based on physical attractiveness. The conclusion to draw is that men are more likely to find women of a certain age physically attractive.

As you say there are other factors based on which men choose life partners... If it were not so, every single man whether 20 or 99 would be hanging out around college campuses trying to 'pick up chicks'.

I do not blame women at all for this, totally understandable, but if you are older man without plenty of money, forget it, even if you look OK and are a nice guy, women want the successful man, and why not eh? I'd do the same. Who wants to spend the rest of life scrabbling for money?
As a fat, single, balding software developer in his late 30s, this sort of article rather depresses me. It's all very well having ages of attraction, but when you're the mud at the bottom of the dating pool, what does that even matter? Even masturbation is a chore these days.
> The principle of eye for an eye was to __restrict__ compensation to the value of the loss

No. The principle was to restrict the scope of revenge. Yes, in the OT gouging someone's eye out to "compensate" for one of your family members having their eye gouged out was "fair compensation." But the NT turns completely against that idea. That's what "turn the other cheek" means.

While the Bible is so full of contradictions that you certainly can find support in some verse for whatever theory you want to prove, the concept of mercy and forgiveness is just not emphasized as much in the OT as it is in the NT.

Does a dog-whistle not make an ultrasound? There are many examples and applications where sound has very legitimate but inaudible effects. Perhaps this definition has contenders? Seems to me there are audible and inaudible sounds. And since definitions tend to follow the masses regardless of logic or sensibility, "sound" probably should also mean "appear", as it's become an idiomatic (non literal) term you'll see peppered throughout Hackernews and elsewhere, e.g. "this sounds good; this sounds reasonable;" etc, used to describe one's interpretation of texts, which sans synesthesia, shouldn't be audible.
That isn't how things happened. Before the Constitution was even drafted, Suarez had put forward, and the francoist institutions had approved, the "Ley para la Reforma Política":

https://www.boe.es/boe/dias/1977/01/05/pdfs/A00170-00171.pdf

Read the first two articles of that law; Spain was no longer a dictatorship. The last clause of the law enacts it as supreme law of the land.

It is following that law that the first Congress of the new democracy (with the mandate to write a Constitution) was elected, using the same procedure we keep using today to elect our Congress. In that election, the francoist party of Fraga lost immensely to the centrist and marxist parties.

If the Constitution they wrote didn't pass the popular vote of the referendum, general elections would be repeated and the process would start again.

It never was a choice between accepting the new Constitution or going back to a dictatorship. It's called "Transición" instead of "Revolución" because the francoist regime turned itself into a democracy following its own laws and procedures.

Indeed, they seem somewhat hypersexualised for their suggested age or at least hypersensualised to some extent.

For shops, that’s the language equality law. Not sure about the justification, but it’s not that hard to have dual signs (and written Catalan is easy to grasp for Spanish speakers). This law was introduced some 10 years ago.

They had to sort of rush it, because they wanted to rush out multiprocess, to stop the bleeding of users (which has very much worked [1]).

And then they needed to follow up with the switch to WebExtensions relatively quickly, so that extension authors wouldn't start porting their extensions to multiprocess and then after that effort have to rewrite their extensions to be WebExtensions-compatible. They wanted extension authors to be able to just directly port to WebExtensions.

And I do think that a lot more extension authors would have probably abandoned their projects, if they had just ported to multiprocess and then had to port to WebExtensions.

Also, a lot of extensions sort of just continue to function without active maintenance. Those are why it would have just as well been really disruptive to space out multiprocess and WebExtensions by a few years. Then we'd have to start over at 0 extensions twice.

You present this as though it supports your point, that you "cannot cheat biology with feminism". To me it's actually more evidence that there is this complicated system running, with multiple feedback loops on multiple levels.

I'm not saying that there is nothing here in terms of biology, of course there is, but the relationship between biology and culture is subtle and complicated. Little in life (maybe nothing) is as pure and simple as many people seem think this issue is.
Maybe. I like women of any age really.
