Please cash in at least some of that; it's too sad to think of a conventional amateur investor approach of "always hold out for more" wiping out that potential fortune. Take your 5000x gain and be happy with that phenomenal performance instead of being concerned about the infinite "I could've gotten more if I just sold on Magic Date X".

A materialized gain that you can actually use is more valuable than a paper gain that may not be there when you need it, especially in an instrument as volatile and immature as Bitcoin.
Ha, nice one, didn't know it could be done in shell too.
I like node.js and use it very often (had my first package reach over 100 stars, woohoo :) ) but I don't understand why it needs to be suitable for every task.

If you really want to do something creative with the shared memory, I guess you could do that in a "native module" written in c++ or even Rust[1].

I'm not saying that it's not doable with JS, it's just that it's already been done (as in, has a solution that works).

Those helmets are made. Unfortunately while a helmet can protect your skull from breaking it doesn't do a lot to prevent concussion. Concussion results from the brain being whiplashed around inside the skull. Helmets won't stop that.

The shock indicators can possibly help determine if a hit was hard enough to suspect a concussion, but diagnosis of a concussion is based on symptoms.

If we had to preface every inquiry with a philosophical debate on everything semi-related to the subject at hand we’d get nowhere (including within philosophy itself). Should all math papers include a section where they argue about why one should use ZFC vs IZF or type theory because that decision might have impact on the matter at hand?

Blanket statements and short dismissals are great when their content is “that’s an interesting topic but not necessarily what everyone is trying to discuss right now.” Discussions on AI risk may not be augmented by understanding of subjective experience, or may require developments that cannot be acquired via even another 100 years of navel gazing on the subject. You’ve not even attempted to justify why this would be the case, and instead started complaining right off the bat that nobody had the inclination to immediately discuss your favorite tie-in to the subject immediately.

You’ll notice that people were actually happy to talk about consciousness once you brought it up, and probably would have been even happier to do so if you didn’t start off with such a curmudgeonly tone and spend a bunch of time accusing everyone of intellectual dishonesty because their interests differ from yours.

Is this the same as the SIGCOMM '10 DCTCP paper [0]? I see that the author lists of both strongly draw from Microsoft, but there's no overlap otherwise. If so, what's changed in the past 7 years? Why publish the RFC now, especially since it's not on track to become an Internet standard?

Something called DCTCP has been in the Linux kernel since 2014 [1]; that commit even cites what looks like an earlier draft of this RFC that dates back to 2014, although that was on the standards track back then [2]. Why was that effort seemingly abandoned?

> Did banning shouting "Fire!" in a movie theatre lead to all speech being banned in all movie theatres?

No, because we never banned shouting “Fire!” in a crowded theater; the idea that such a thing was unprotected speech which could be banned is non-authoritative dicta from a Supreme Court ruling which did, however, uphold he criminalization of core political speech in the form of protests against the WWI draft, which has since been overturned and is widely recognized as a major failure when it comes to free speech. Which was worse than a content-neutral ban on all speech in theaters.

For what it's worth, Chase has quickly been becoming the most consumer-focused and technically-capable financial institution that I routinely interact with. They may have someone competent in the leadership over there, and I find acquisition of WePay another potential positive indicator of that.
I'd invest in equities, commercial real estate, and residential real estate development.

Most tech companies looking for angel investment or VC money are just other versions of information selling (that is, information about people) or social interaction or both. They aren't worth "giving back" to, from either a tech perspective (from the perspective that they'll possibly advance technology) or from an investment perspective (they'll almost certainly perform worse than even conservative investment).
> I have seen and treated a huge number of people with motion sickness disorders and the treatment is relatively easy

Please write about this (what is the treatment). In my case, I'm not aware of having other problems apart from not being able to watch hand-camera made (intentionally "shaky") series and films. And searching for the switches to turn off the animations in software. Moreover, I don't have problem with 3D movies if the screen refresh rate is high enough. It's also not a regular "motion sickness" as I don't have any problem whatsoever in cars or planes. But I can assure you that the sensation in the cases I've listed (on the screens) really exists.

In my case, turning off the UI animations solves the problem. Unless it can't be done.
It is a private entity causing harm to society by facilitating the dissemination of lies and hate speech.

The point is that this should be regulated and/or disallowed, much in the same way that you (fortunately) can't go on TV to call for violence against specific groups of people or to run false advertising, or, in a developed/civilized country, you'll be facing consequences.

One way of doing this would be for FB and other media to be forced to provide authorities with official (and validated) company information regarding the entities that are using their service for this end, much in the same way as would happen to a company running false advertisements on TV.
But didn't that all happen during the Industrial Revolution as well? Why is this any different?
Really? How does it work?
Think outside of web workloads! Not everyone is writing a web app.

Think about something like Delaunay triangulation or mesh refinement. These are critical path bottlenecks for a great many applications and in practice very parallel, but they're irregular so we cannot easily distribute the data structure. The best results we have are for shared memory thread models. We don't know how to do it any other way!

Would that be a good use case for this?

That is indeed a problem, but there are several factors which I think make it less of a problem than it would be with other "too big to fail" CAs.

First, because certificate issuance is automated, if Let's Encrypt ever had to migrate to a new root cert they could do so in a way that's almost completely transparent to its clients. Aside from sites that have the old roots pinned, Let's Encrypt could simply start signing new certs with a different root and everyone could just carry on like nothing happened.

Second, because of the low validity period on Let's Encrypt certs, if such a transition did become necessary the entire process could be completed in ~90 days. This is in contrast to other "too big to fail" CAs (e.g. Symantec), where the process of distrusting the old roots takes years.

These factors don't eliminate the concern entirely, of course, but they do make the overall situation much better.

Indeed. Paid advertising has been a busted flush for many years now.

I think they are still open to it, in a very sceptical way. Basically they are asking [1] the public/users for papers/documents/articles/blogs, describing the use cases of generics in Golang. How would they use it? Why is it required (as in can you not do it easily/better without generics)? Stuff like that. They basically aren't convinced that generics is something they need/want in Go, but if the users can convince them, they will still go for it in the future of Go.

"I'm focusing today on possible major changes, such as
additional support for error handling, or introducing
immutable or read-only values,
or adding some form of generics,

We will have to choose carefully."

Regulation isn't binary, as in something is either "regulated" or "unregulated".

The quality, timeliness and enforcement of the laws that establish regulation will determine the outcome.

Current regulation is weak, but society is better off with it than it was without it. A brief look at the history of the US financial system and its "crashes" may shed some light over this, perhaps even demonstrating that, if anything, regulation needs to improve (both in terms of coverage and enforcing).
Regardless of whether or not the companies helped, there is no historical precedent for this kind of "speech": enormous concentrations of wealth combined with super-effective targeting.

Often times a body transformation from one image to another results in a redefinition of the relative position and length of edges in a photo (as a person gets leaner).

Do you think that the L1 regularization used in pix2pix - which is intended to preserve low-frequency spacial patterns in the image pairs - will ultimately end up limiting how well cGANs can learn the body transformation image translation task?

For the founders this represents a very nice exit but for investors, not so much. It obviously depends on when they entered, but later stage investors aren't likely to be making much (if anything) off the exit. Getting money back from a struggling investment is always nice, but I doubt the VCs will be touting this as one of their success stories in the quarterly report.

How would you sandbox such dumb "actions"? Draw a copy of everything afflicted by the actions of the thumbdrive- and kick the container, once it touches the system in a bad spot?

We are talking about tradeoffs- and the truth is, we traded security for development speed and low price, because security has a tendency to arrive very, very late in the game, the moment people want to abandon the system or concept.
If you go down the history, most wealth was stolen from people violently and from then on anybody born into these aristocratic families would continue benefiting from the wealth.

A lot of new wealth has been created by people born into poor / middle class families in last 1-2 centuries for sure, especially 20th century.

But there are still families today that are wealthy and their wealth have been with them for 400-500 or more years. And in those cases it's very likely the original wealth was stolen.

It could be that original wealth was gathered during robber baron times by exploiting workers or it could be even older, being passed from generation to generation since medieval times. Which means the original aristocracy probably gained this wealth in a violent conquest.

It still is. Never went away.
Some of the people you mentioned are just the beneficiaries of other people's creative genius. And that's an important distinction, since, at a country level, it doesn't matter who benefits from a breakthrough, just that the breakthrough happened somewhere.

Also, creativity is a pretty hard thing to quantify. So, I'm not sure how we'd create a data set on how creativity correlates to innovation. How about I just quote the single person whose insights have vaulted technology farther than any other man in modern history: Albert Einstein (granted, not american).

"The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination."

"I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious."

"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them."

"Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere."

How does this contrast with China? I'm interpolating some here, but if all information that citizens receive through the internet must be approved of by the government, I can't help but think the population will have a narrow/brainwashed perspective of the world and their place in it.
Some of my investment is to empower people that I like. Some is just to help them over a temporary financial hurdle. Some is more like a gift than an expectation of a financial reward and, honestly, a loss is the expected outcome.

I'd also add something to the general topic. I never expected to sell my company and I think that actually helped. I drew a salary and kept my finances distinct from the legal entity that was the company. As it was I was the only owner, there were no investors to please, so profits went into growing and securing the business. Note: I consider sharing the profits with employees to be part of business growth and security.

That meant I had complete ownership and a healthy business, without much real debt. This was attractive and it was quite surprising, sort of, when the offer came in. It was only sort of surprising because there had been a few rumors about it.

So, I'm of the mind that the mentality drove the process and the process influenced the results. Of course, there is survivorship bias and I'm just a single data point.

> HDR+ addresses this problem by taking a burst of shots with short exposure times, aligning them algorithmically, and replacing each pixel with the average color at that position across all the shots.

This is almost exactly how you'd make super-resolution pictures (adding a nearest-point scaling up step at some point! Yet their super-resolution app (Photoscan) has some sort of artificial upper resolution limit. If they do plan to expose this capability to 3rd parties, I hope someone makes a proper scan/super-resolution app! Also tried Office Lens, also left disappointed :(
I think the following bit at the very bottom of the article suggests that it isn't:

"HDR+ will be the first application to run on Pixel Visual Core. Notably, because Pixel Visual Core is programmable, we’re already preparing the next set of applications. The great thing is that as we port more machine learning and imaging applications to use Pixel Visual Core, Pixel 2 will continuously improve. So keep an eye out!"
