You risk negative returns on the property, or losses compared to your opportunity cost.

If you had $1 million in 2007, it would have been more profitable to invest it in Google than to buy a two houses in Mt View and rent them out. That is the risk the landlord is assuming. There are examples where you have a negative return as well.

Yes, Android Studio is needed for running Flutter apps on Android but not for iOS. (You don't normally need to launch Android Studio, just have it installed on your machine.)

Similarly, if you want to run on iOS you need a Mac with xCode installed.

(It's rather weird to me that you need to install entire other IDE's as developer dependencies to build mobile apps, but that seems to be how it is.)
OpenBazaar looks like a great project, but with $4.25 million in backing from VCs, it does not look like a charity project. How do you plan on monetizing your work? It was not clear to me from the OpenBazaar or OB1 websites. I only ask because many great products work well when VC money is supporting it, but then are seriously degraded when the company needs to start showing revenue and then a profit.
There have been a few responses along the lines of 'not always' but what you say is indeed largely true.

There is another thing that is worth considering and that is the algorithms (and even the theory) that works well for compression of discrete sources are not well suited for compressing real numbers (floating point numbers aren't, but, they are the poor man's reals). On the theory side, this bothered Claude Shannon enough that he decided to revisit this later in his career to create rate distortion theory, he knew that there was some unfinished business in information theory.

We do have sort of a chicken and egg problem here, especially when we want store a lot floating points for a ML workload. Learning how to compress and learning the underlying distribution are equivalent problems. If we have already learned the model, then yes we could compress the data well. But when we haven't, then by definition we wouldn't have the knowledge to do a good job of storing the data in a well compressed form. After we have acquired the knowledge to compress well, we don't really need the compressed data anymore to learn the model, we already have it. One way to address this would be to do both incrementally and simultaneously.
Jake from TileDB, Inc. Genomics is a big field where sparse matrix storage is needed. Human genomes are stored as a diff off of a reference, which as you indicated forms a graph which can be represented as a sparse matrix. In other fields of genomics, such as metagenomics, fragments of DNA when analyzed also have a graph like structure.

TileDB supports both dense and sparse arrays. It was designed around the concept of handling sparse arrays but dense arrays can be thought of a degenerate case of sparse array storage in TileDB. For dense arrays tile extents are contiguous and we don't materialize the coordinate values. This way all the concepts are the same and we can capture both use-cases. Sparse annotations to dense array values, such as NA or Null handling can also be captured as a sparse array fragment layered over a backing dense array.

I agree with you that for most use cases, storage will be dense. But it is useful to have one system that can handle both representations efficiently, with the sparse case not added on as an afterthought (it also makes the system simpler).

There might be an argument saying that the academia pursuers don't want it to happen, but I think that incentive should be less than just having more freedom as a graduate student.

your comments above sound reasonable, but your characterization of tech dirt as a rumor site is wrong in my opinion. They consistently find cases of government overreach and attempts to skirt the law. If anything, they'd be supportive of your comment above "My advice is to get familiar with how far the US intelligence community has fallen out of jurisprudence."

I don't see many businesses having huge instinctive "jingoistic political allegiances", frankly, unless perhaps if it's a SOA or military driven or the like. However, most businesses in any nation tend to work with and cooperate with national governments on various probes, particularly where they are headquartered, unless there is a huge reason not to. Congress is heavily scrutinizing Facebook and Twitter over Russian influence at the moment; reports like this (https://www.dni.gov/files/documents/ICA_2017_01.pdf) heavily critical of RT and Sputnik's role in this election are being produced by our intelligence agencies. So in this regard, Twitter's reaction is not surprising.

We'll never know is how much Twitter management agreed to drop RT/Sputnik advertising based on what they felt was right (due to whatever reason), what was right or good for the business, or whether they did this largely due to pressure from the government. The main thing we know is that Twitter's corporate reaction here is obviously different than, say, Twitter's corporate reaction to their role in the Arab Spring.

Most of the time, in general, I think RT / Sputnik do report actual events, but with a very heavy pro-Kremlin slant (so not unlike VOA in this regard). However, they dip enough of their toes into the Infowars style conspiracy theory stuff (in part because relying on native disaffected groups is part of their strategy -- http://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/BRIE/2015/57133... ) that I wouldn't trust an article only sourced there at all. If RT "broke" that officials covered up polluted water in 20 other major US cities, for instance, I'd look elsewhere to confirm that story.

Don't completely agree with the guidelines presented in the maturity model, but I do think that a well written README goes a long way in making your project discoverable, identifiable or even presentable. I have had old projects for which I am now really glad that I took the time to write good READMEs when I did, because I can refer back to them and still know what I am reading through. It's a good practice, like commenting your code.

The Rebundling of Craigslist
"In my opinion, eBay for sellers (outside of maybe the power sellers. I've sold <100 items) is a nightmare."

I wouldn't argue too strongly with you there. I've sold loads of stuff on eBay (about £50k worth over the years, apparently!), and there are problems too often. People try it on, so I have to send -everything- via recorded mail, which is expensive, so then people complain about the postage cost, even though I always put them up front.

I've had quite a few completely fatuous claims made against me when selling, one of which said there were parts missing, when I'd actually said those parts were missing in the listing. eBay refunded him and let him keep the item.

Whenever I have an issue now, I just say 'send it back, I'll refund it' as this is invariably the path of lowest friction. Dealing with muppets is a cost of selling on eBay that has to be factored into the equation, alas, and it's worse than it ever has been; here in the UK around 2000 it was pretty 'niche' and only serious people seemed to be on there. But after a few years (and a few newspaper articles along the lines of 'quit your job and make a living on eBay') it started getting like it is now.

Non paying bidders are a pain to sellers, but it means nothing to eBay so they don't do anything about it.

The upside, at least, is that when you buy on there, you're well covered. Had a dodgy 'reconditioned' cylinder head turn up a few weeks ago. Returned it without even having to pay postage, which was a relief - in the past that would have been £400 I'd never have seen again.

The landlord produces a place for people to stay. Why is that "nothing"? I've rented. I didn't like paying rent every month, but it beat sleeping in my car.

Do you think the landlord should provide apartments for free?

Returning to Churchill's statement: Every one of those improvements improves every landowner, whether a landlord or a homeowner. For every one of them, they have done nothing - except pay taxes. (But note that the landlords pay taxes too.) So why single out the landlords?

That the value of the land might go down? Risk means financial downside, you can lose money on real estate on a multitude of things, millions of investors do every year.

Real estate is not as easy to diversify as stocks and bonds, certain unexpected and uninsurable external shocks can have disastrous effects on the profitability of your investment. Things such as new rent control, property tax increase, termite damage, spiteful tenants, corrupt HoA, and sudden market volatility can all cause you to lose significant money.

I'm not getting the message behind the Churchill quote, landlords clearly have operating expenses to commit towards keeping a plot of land and shelter in useful or livable condition.
i think their past issue was having to hire more sales people to scale revenue in a manual fashion talking to companies rather than having a robust programmatic platform they can rely on to bring in revenue with fewer headcount. not sure if this is still a problem for them or not.
I think the canonical example is that WO means there's a well ordering of the reals. We have to accept it as true, but what the hell would that look like? It's generally assumed that such a well ordering wouldn't be constructible, so it does seem like a little much to ask for.

Edit: For those curious why this is problematic, a well ordering on a set means that for any non-empty subset of the set, there's a consistent way to define the least element of the set.

An easy example is the natural numbers starting from 0 going up. The well ordering on the naturals is the usual <, and 0 is the lowest of the entire set.

This doesn't work this way for the integers. Because the integers go to negative infinity, we have to order them in a different way (but we know it's possible because the well ordering principle says so). It turns out the way to do it is to define the order on the integers this way: 0 1 -1 2 -2 3 -3 etc. Now the integers are ordered in such a way that we have a well defined least element, 0.

Now, WO says the real numbers have a well ordering as well. What would that look like? For instance, < fails us because the open interval (0,1) has no least element. The well ordering has to hold for any non-empty subset, and there are ways to create very strange and pathological subsets of R. To think that the entirety of R can be ordered in such a way like the integers is asking for a lot. But the well ordering principle states that even if we can't figure out the order, we can assume that one exists and use it in proofs. But it's weird because we're pretty much resigned to never knowing how it'd actually look.

This is true, I earned my MS in Biology in 2009 (a rough year to graduate). I was able to land a position as a laboratory manager but ended up teaching myself Ruby to solve a few problems on the job.

I've ended up in Silicon Valley in software engineering and I'm quite happy but wish I would have considered job prospects in my field of study a little harder before committing so much time and effort. I might have ended up in a CS program and would have been better suited to succeed earlier.

Biology is definitely interesting and I learned how to think scientifically, and "how to think" about problems. So that component was rewarding.

Pony does not do preemptive scheduling. Pony actors have behaviors, which can be thought of as methods that handle messages that are sent to the actor; these are the unit of scheduling, and a behavior runs from beginning to end without preemption. Multiple behaviors can run at the same time, but only one behavior per actor can be running at any time.

You know, this is pretty bad, but I'm also a little put off by the mob mentality that I'm seeing (mostly in the Reddit comments). Following the link in the original post, I see that their entire executive team is between 20 and 22 years old. What they did is definitely crummy and shady, but I also wonder about the harassment that they're likely to be subjected to shortly. Will their names forever be associated with this? Do they "deserve" it? Who knows...I just hold some faint hope that if anyone chooses to reach out to Bee they'll take their level of maturity into context and make this a teachable moment.

The first quote deals with the threat. The second deals with "enacting the threats."

So if you claim that he has no right to make a threat, then how can he enact something that he has no right to say?

Regardless, I'm only speaking on his legal right to make threats. And yes, he does have a legal right to make violent threats.

And no, Twitter's TOS does not prohibit uncivil language with a broad brush. But I agree with you that it is not purely based in law, but civility certainly is based in moral law.

It seems like what you are doing is saying there's no basis to be concerned about monsanto's actions because everyone does it. That's not good enough, and not accurate about Monsanto.
