You are absolutely correct. My apologies, as I understood the problem as "I have a fork and want to receive pull requests".

This can be a pretty common setup for some git workflows. Everybody makes a fork and takes / pushes pull requests or branches from their fork to others. The main advantage would be that if you have a lot of branches they don't all have to be on upstream and you don't need to have upstream permissions for everyone to push branches or changes to.

Nonetheless, I can see why my comment raised some confusion.

I don't think there's really any reason to think it won't take off in the datacenter, on Chromebooks, on Android devices, and network/embedded equipment as you mention.

Each of these will have a different timeline, but these days there are major markets which are more agnostic to ISA than they were five years ago.

The inherent commodity nature of designs and silicon based on a royalty-free ISA will drive down prices to the limits of design and material process, which will drive adoption.
Hopefully some day this number will be so large that it will be impossible to track accurately.

I think that the best way to go about it (at least if you want to be successful) would be to write a SRFI that could easily be impkemented using the FFIs that are already out there.

Managing that, but still being flexible enough to be useful, is a huge amount of work, at least if you want to do more than just "call this c function".
> I wonder if this will in fact drive major change politically in China as well.

It will change 0 politically in China.

Firstly, 100 million would be close to 1 in 15 people being Christian, and Christianity is nowhere near that popular in China.

That aside, even if it did get so popular that it started to become a threat (in terms of wielding political influence), Beijing would simply shut it down.

See for example Falungong, which was estimated to have upwards of 70 million practitioners and was allowed (and even encouraged) for a time, but as their influence and their unwillingness to submit in anyway to government interference grew, so did tensions between the two groups, culminating in Falungong supporters staging a protest surrounding the entire central government compound of Zhongnanhai with > 10,000 supporters.

The government began work to suppress and dismantle Falungong almost overnight.

His trading results aren't clear. When editing the Wikipedia article, we kept running into the fact that he boasts about the performance of his funds in the years they're up, but refuses to release results for the years they're down. His funds buy options that are way out of the money, which means they lose money in years nothing bad happens. In years with a big crash, they win big. It's not clear that this is a net win over time.

> Wireless headphones are subject to interference while wired ones are not.

That's not true. Have you ever had gunk get into your headphone jack and have that affect the sound? I have.

> Physical connections are much less likely to fail.

I hear the air pods are pretty reliable. I've had plenty of wired headphones either stop working properly or stop working altogether. Wires can get yanked and this an effect the internal connections in the headphones, for example.

> Wired headphones also lack batteries.

The literal text of what I was replying to was "have decent quality and somewhat less reliability", and batteries have nothing to do with that.

> Horses vs. cars is easy: Cars today are cheaper, faster, safer, require less space and require less maintenance than horses. The number of people who'd prefer a horse to a car is insignificant.

We're not talking about horses vs cars today, we're talking about horses vs cars when cars were being introduced! That's the analogous situation.

> I think at best 50% of people would prefer wireless after trying them for a week or two.

On what grounds?

> Wireless and wired aren't mutually exclusive either. There's no reason a phone can't support both wired and wireless headphones and let people choose.

Yes, that's true. But I think that the longer-term picture is different. More features means more cost and complexity. And you can't consider this just in the context of one issue. It's cumulative over time. An analogy here is all the various features that have been lost in desktop and laptop computers over the years (and replaced by different ones). Sure, any one of those isn't necessarily a big deal, but in the longer term it's not about individual ones. If you said that about each individual feature, and kept it on, the devices these days would be really encumbered with all sorts of stuff.

> That's what we've had for years now and unsurprisingly, wireless headphones haven't really taken off.

We're not talking about decades and decades of good, consumer-level priced wireless technology. It's still pretty new, and that also means it's still pretty expensive. I think it's clear that a fair number of people who are against the wireless headphones still haven't actually tried good one, which shows that the exposure levels for the technology is still pretty low.

And removing the jack is the kind of thing that may push the adoption of wireless headphones and lead to the kinds of economies of scales that reduce the price and lead to more takeup.
I never knew about this trick, which is pretty significant if you use tmux regularly. This just made my day!

Learning enough to make your own spin on things by mixing and matching parts is really easy once you understand the mathematical underpinnings of things.

It's true, many API-level things are opaque about how they work, but their theoretical foundations are usually possible to pick up.

I guess a good way to do this is via an example. I had to build a system to hit the following criteria:

* The data is scarce

* The data is time series

* The data follows a state machine

* The data is noisy, and contains a signal that's unique across all training samples

Gluing together multiple domains of knowledge, from generative tactics for label propagation, to EM for state-machine convolutional decoding, to 5 or 6 others gave the company something that worked, in a short timescale, that scaled well.

It's understanding where things glue together and under what circumstances to apply that glue has been what's been most helpful to me.

A great place to get an intuition of what I mean is Louppe Giles's PhD thesis on random forests, specifically stuff like the section on the bias-variance tradeoff.

Maybe I can assist? I took a graduate course at Cornell called Applied Machine Learning[1] last year. The lecture notes are really great. The lecture notes survey a huge list of machine learning algorithms, and highlights its useful applications.

If you don't have understanding of regression vs classification, maybe skim through online resources to get a high level understanding of machine learning. Then you can dive into the lecture notes where you get breadth and a little depth.

Also the book, Building Machine Learning
Systems with Python [2], is an amazing book where it applies machine learning techniques with python. I think this is the best resource on how to begin applying machine learning methods and it was helpful when I was implementing algorithms for the class, like kNN for clustering and PCA reduction + log regression for face recognition.

And yet there are also places where Singaporean spotlessness
gives way to dirt. Places like Geylang, a red light district
well off the tourist map, and Orchard Towers, with its
so-called "four floors of whores".

-- http://www.telegraph.co.uk/expat/life/sex-in-singapore-the-e...

Actually, Geylang is hardly off the tourist map. It's quickly becoming more like the French Quarter in New Orleans--a rapidly gentrifying night spot with enough of the historical seedy element (in this case, many of the famous brothels with the hanging red lanterns that only a few years ago were far more numerous) to keep things authentic. Also a relatively affordable and increasingly popular place to live that's close to downtown.

FWIW, I know this because with all the new development it's a popular area for Airbnb rentals. Given it's reputation, I did some research as well as inquire with local family-in-law. As an outsider a very familiar picture emerges of a changing historic neighborhood. But opinions from Singaporeans might be far more mixed.

VAT is collected entirely by businesses and doesn't require individuals to be identified at all.

Alternatively, it's possible to have a tax ID which is used only for taxes and prohibited by law from being used for anything else.

Interesting to see the comparison. I've been (very) loosely following the progress of Colony, and I've had the sense that they were much closer to Assembly (http://assemblymade.com/), which is now defunct.

I was a participant in Assembly, and am optimistic that an eventual replacement will figure out how to make the money side work enough that they can keep going.

As it stands, I'm not entirely certain who Colony is for. Hopefully, not everybody.
Full disclosure: I have not dabbled with data science, nor I'm an experienced programmer.

But many of the CS pioneers dealt with the issue of reading input, processing it, and giving a meaningful output. Recently I've stumbled upon Jackson's Principles of Program Design and it has really helped me in writing a parser. IMHO general understanding of structuring a program goes a long way than arbitrary design patterns. I now am a propenent of modular programming. For me it resembles functional programming and TDD. Basically it states your program should be made up of numerous self-contained modules that can be independently tested.

For data science workflow it could be an import package, further divided in modules such as general helpers and implementations for different file types; a computation package etc.
The first ever product sold at a retail checkout using a UPC barcode is on display at the Smithsonian!

A 10 pack of Wrigley's Juicy Fruit chewing gum.

The first UPC marked item ever scanned at a retail checkout was at the Marsh supermarket in Troy, Ohio at 8:01 a.m. on June 26, 1974, and was a 10-pack (50 sticks) of Wrigley's Juicy Fruit chewing gum.[6] The shopper was Clyde Dawson and cashier Sharon Buchanan made the first UPC scan. The NCR cash register rang up 67 cents.[7] The entire shopping cart also had barcoded items in it, but the gum was the first one picked up. This item went on display at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C.[8]

This is the first Ethereum based project I've seen that seems halfway interesting (and I'm one of those "cryptocurrency doubters").

It doesn't somehow recursively relate to Ethereum, doesn't over-rely on blockchain buzzwords, and can be explained in a sentence or two. While first reading the page, I didn't realize that it was even an Ethereum based project until the very end, which I liked. At any rate, I'm interested enough to read the documentation in depth now.

Don't ruin this by having some bullshit ICO money grab, though. It looks halfway decent (and if you read my comment history, I don't really say that about any cryptocurrency projects, really).
