Lots of advice here is to go after pain points, or enter competitive markets, or to question your team dynamics. I have a different perspective:

Set up a studio, where the team builds a new "thing" every 2 weeks. Then, 2 months later you have 4 things, and you can pick the one that inspired the team the most.

Given your cash position, you should be able to easily float 2 months while building a bunch of different things.
AI and the Chasm of Comprehension
That is not a dislike button. For example, you can select angry and it leaves it up to interpretation what you are angry about. Either way, most people think it is about the article you are sharing.

Here is an example: Share a post about Black Lives causing a riot.

Clear this is fake. Now if a reader of that post puts angry. Are they indicating the post is fake and they are angry with the original poster? Or are they now angry with Black Lives Matter because they think they caused a riot?

Facebook designed it this way so that the original author of the post still gets positive feedback. There is no need to change his/her behavior. They keep posting and the engagement for Facebook keeps rolling.
By consulting companies trying to sell their services. Take that article with a grain of salt.
VPN and SSH or other public (detectable) protocols are goner for very long time now. I don't understand why you guys still trying to use it.

In China, you may need to use one (Or multiple) of following:

https://github.com/shadowsocks
https://github.com/v2ray
https://github.com/XX-net
https://github.com/ginuerzh/gost

And +https://github.com/gfwlist/gfwlist for automatic proxy switch.

Those applications may require a dedicated server or VPS to run. Once you set it up, it will act like a relay between you and the host you want to access (So that server or VPS must located outside GFW's shadow. And you better set it up and get it well tested before you move to China).

If you don't want to setup a server all by yourself, you can use Lantern or Psiphon, but they are considered not safe as you don't have any control once data leaves your machine.

I personally use Shadowsocks + my own one made with Golang. Both of them works very good for me. Some people may had problem with Shadowsocks but cause of those problems remain a myth.
Gag order silencing Comic-Con producers declared unconstitutional
Most posts spread to at least a 3rd degree. I can share an article, my friends see it and comment on it. Then their friends see that they commented on an article by showing it to their friends.

Also, don't forget the share button. That causes the degrees to reset and it goes from there.

It's not a weakspot in the system. It's the system reminding politicians not to forget their masses.

Even Democrats are looking for ways to get back to their bread and butter blue collar voters[1] (the unionists who went for Trump and Sanders). The Dems (and neocon Reps) forgot about Joe and Jill sixpack and for decades advocated for business elites at the expense of these people.

These people have found a voice in populists like Trump and Sanders --they are not going away. It's the 80s with the rusting of American industry but now with a bit of revenge for all the exported jobs and job uncertainty and the advent of "sharing" economy and prominence of the "temp" workforce.

Of course, these neoliberal policies had some good, they are responsible for China's rise and bringing modernity and rising living standards as well as more affordable but also more disposable goods (not sure that's a good outcome in the long run --but certainly made some goods more affordable to the now struggling American middle class)

It's no secret neocons and Dems were enamored with free trade at the expense of blue collar voters who took stock and saw that their traditional Dem allies had sold them out.

> Also, given the way US elections are conducted, the right pressure applied in the right areas could deliver an outsized effect on the outcome.

True. But presumably the experienced veterans on Clinton's team also knew about it. It's not exactly a secret how US elections work, at least it shouldn't be the people trying to be elected.

$1B+ budget would have been enough to blanket all the right areas with ads day and night and even have money left over for people to walk door to door and ring doorbells.
Weak spot? Its the administrative password.
Sure, mind body connection is everything, but there are many keto proponents that argue that controlling for calories, keto still produces superior outcomes. Outside of extreme cases like epilepsy, there is not really any reason to think that's true.

Keto is one of many strategies that people use to comply to consuming the right number of calories.

Allocation under dictatorship: research in Stalin’s archives
As far as I can tell, the code on GitHub (https://github.com/vicariousinc/science_rcn) only works for the MNIST dataset.

Unclear how to run on the CAPTCHA examples referenced in the paper, even though they did make the datasets for those examples available.

Bummer, a big part of what the paper mentions about being so great with this RCN model is being able to segment sequences of characters (of indeterminate length even!). Sad that I cannot easily verify this for myself!

If you are in a position to inject a 103 response into a stream, you are in a position to inject JavaScript directly into the HTML body.
One way to do delimited continuations might be to build on the state machine transformation behind generators and async/await. You can drop the `await`/`yield` primitives that C#/Javascript use and introduce a `shift` primitive instead. In non-recursive situations you can even make the continuation objects statically sized.

Kotlin goes this direction, for example, though it still requires an annotation on all functions that participate in continuations. This makes it fairly straightforward to tell where the `prompt` is- the root `suspend fun` passed to whatever API drives it. Making every function implicitly `suspend` would let you treat any function as a `prompt`.

mixup: Beyond Empirical Risk Minimization [pdf]
In Postgres, beyond the SQL PREPARE commands, there is also a protocol for executing prepared statements. Their client drivers almost certainly use this protocol, which would mean the normal placeholder safety applies. I think this is just a misunderstanding of their point, and not a full backtracking to string escaping.
The hardest part is not the client and the server...but the CRM (the Intercom part).
Here's something a lot of us would use - we want to bring our own socket API (for example pure websocket, xmpp or something like Pusher.com ) and connect it to a full fledged Intercom-like tool.

This is the "Gitlab for Intercom". The problem that happens is that people usually don't want to rip out their client side messaging SDK, especially if you have a mobile app.

I am personally looking to pay for something like this (we use Pusher.com internally).

Are you focusing on the socket server or the CRM application (like Intercom) ? Because the socket server part is a don't care for everyone. Pusher or Firebase is super cheap. It's the CRM that's tricky. Smooch is one end of the spectrum and it focuses on integration with other tools (helpscout,etc) while Intercom is obviously a CRM. I don't think you'll be able to build both.

If you can build this out with excellent featureset like Intercom and can integrate with something like Pusher (and not lock to your own server), I'm gonna throw money at you!

Considering you guys can start with a blank check and work on IP heavy ideas (CMU PhD), it is safe to assume that you guys don’t want to go in something which isn’t less than a billion dollar thing in 5-7 years.

So look for pilot projects in such industries where entry barriers are high, defence, insurance, banking, health, oil &gas, etc. Wall Street connections will come in handy to find the right folks to call. As of now the plan should be to convert pilots into products. If need be do two or more pilots at the same time and then take a call later based on what is most beneficial, the amount and type of risk, comfort factor of the team, etc.

I've been writing some ARM assembly lately to basically solve a very specific non linear least squares problem for SLAM (specifically bundle adjustment).

I started with the library everyone uses (g2o), attempted a vectorised c++ implementation, and ultimately decided it would be easier to develop in assembly. I've been taking measurements as I go.

C++ (g2o) ~ 10-16x
C++ (NEON intrinsics) ~ 1.5-2x
ASM 1x

In this case register layout was very important and GCC isn't able to, for example, arrange for two results to wind up in adjacent 64 bit registers and become a 128bit register. This business of combining registers is an ARMv7 wart and not an issue in Aarch64.

In other cases, such as some bilinear interpolation code I wrote, GCC was able to basically generate what was more or less optimal.

The OP that I was replying to was insinuating that FB is collecting audio as training data to create AI models like the ones you are talking about. I was pointing out that raw audio is useless to train an AI model for recognizing words, the whole point of training data for AI is that you have an input and a known output (transcription) that you can use to train and test the model with, having just input is useless for training.
There's no appreciable wavelength-specific filtering going on in an eclipse since the moon has no atmosphere. (The corona does have a different spectra than the surface of the sun, but that's not the issue here. The corona is dim enough to look at.)

The problem is that there is so much invisible energy in proportion to visible energy. So blocking a large portion of the sun's disk, so your eyes no longer detect too much visible light, still allows too much total energy which fries your retina when focused into a very small area by your eye's lens.

Its a good hypothesis. I think there's more psychology at play then just this though. In a way, Facebook helps minorities find each other, and then isolate themselves virtually to be "just amongst them". Possibly its the no consequence framework that has given them the courage to continue to pursue finding others of similar values. As they grow though, and realize they are not alone, the isolated group can now open itself to others and recruit into the group, promoting its values.

Now, for a lot of minority groups, this can be great, maybe positive overall for society. Unless a group with vicious values comes along, then it turns into a problem. Especially if it is found that this minority was in fact never small, just very well amortized across all of our society.

Another aspect though, is that those values could have even been amortized among each individual, in the full set of a person's value. So maybe a person believe many things, and has many values, but they balance out, and generally an overall behavior comes out of them. This behavior maybe is a desired one for society at large. Now comes the internet, or Facebook, and one can explore a subset of its values, maybe the ones that often get most repressed. You explore this in isolation of your other values, almost as a fantasy. Now through this exploration, you find others exploring the same subset. This social finding could somehow re-enforce that value, suddenly weighing it higher into your overall balance. This would mean that it might be a bad thing, as it can alter ones balancing values which have worked for society till now, into a new balance that might exhibit a more detrimental behavior. Alternatively, it could also not affect the behavior when away from the internet. In which case, the internet behavior could mislead us into thinking we have all these people which would have detrimental behavior in real life also, when in reality, we do not, they only exbibit such behaviors when online. And off-course, as we move most of real life on the internet, that might still mean trouble overall.

Just some thoughts.

I remember hearing from my brother as a kid about body-modders who could feel magnetic fields and punching it into Google in disbelief. That had to be 10 years ago, and I agree I'd expected something more by now. Deus Ex Human Revolution was set in 2027, that's only ten years off now! I don't think that seemed as completely impossible when it came out.
Ideas have no value, the value is entirely in the execution.
Thanks!

One question: does your algorithm account for the possibility that a non-border square could have a lower odds of being a mine when you reach the last-resort safest guess approach? It looks like you only consider the odds of mines in the borders, but not that a complete unknown square could have lower odds. You do mention the situation where you know that particular square has no mines, but not where you know the odds are lower than in any of the border squares.

It's pretty rare, but in my minesweeper obsession days I would occasionally see it happen.

Edit: upon further reflection, it's actually pretty common in the early stages, esp. in lower difficulty games. You will occasionally on the first click get a high-ish number and are much better off clicking a non-neighbor as the next guess. You must be doing this or couldn't achieve 50%, I'd guess.

I don't think you're entirely wrong, there is political pressure behind standardized testing; however, this is largely because the alternative was no trustable testing. Making teachers' assesments trustable is politically palatable to teachers while also fulfilling the administrative goals that standardized testing has been asked (and largely failed) to resolve.
This isn't true at all. If you know how to use Chrome right (with right flags / startup options [1]) it is way more private browser then FF and more advanced. All it takes is some reading and some patience (but you get useful knowledge in return).

Security and privacy is just a marketing gig for Firefox in my personal opinion. Not truly reflecting the reality.

I wonder if these companies can be trusted enough to provide accurate information, they might be tempted to downplay the amount spend on their platforms.

An example of this is Twitter. While they kicked RT off their platform, they did not come out openly saying - well we asked them to target Americans.

I feel that Google is trolling. $4,700 spent on ads? I know advertisers that spend that much per hour. This is a drop in an ocean. That’s 94,000 clicks at best ($0.05/click). But probably won’t get such low clicks. At 5% engagement rate you’ll engage 4,700 people.
A few months ago, I went to Shanghai. Before going to China, I setup the Shadownsock on my server. My 4G network is roaming SIM card. I can surf on Google Map over my SIM card without any proxy or VPN. To prevent from sniffing, I always connect to the network via OpenVPN with non default port.

In hotel, the Wi-Fi network cannot connect to many sites. Sometimes, I can connect the Internet via OpenVPN, but, Shadowsocks is more stable.
Thanks, I think that makes sense since 1/x is a non-linear function.

You might suspect that your Tor nodes are being run by FBI, but trust your VPN more.
Late reply, but one problem here is that the ruling against the company could give SAS them the right to take ownership of the software as a creditor to a company with no assets left other than the code.

Lots of complexities there, but the root of the issue is that you can't pull a company's main asset out from under legitimate creditors. And SAS will soon be a big creditor as soon as the ruling is final and they get a monetary judgment that the company presumably won't be able to pay.

There are lots of ways companies try to evade this basic principle, but none that can withstand the scrutiny of a court and motivated, financed creditor.

Speaking of Three.js, have you heard of PlayCanvas (https://playcanvas.com)? It's pretty much a Unity-like IDE based on Three.js, and allows a whole bunch of cool features, like live collaboration.

No. I wasn't being sarcastic.

Yes. It is precisely what I said it was.

The existing market wasn't being responsive to the wants and needs of their customers so the underground market sprung up to meet those needs.

It's not that people aren't willing to pay for these things, it's that they want to have a convenient way of doing so.

In my example there would be only a single connection from the client, to the CDN edge. The CDN is acting as a reverse proxy for the main request and pulling Link headers out of the response(s) to decide what static assets to push to the client over the same connection.
Anyone can afford a dollar. I'm guessing the real reason these people don't pay is because they don't think it's worth paying $1 to generate a meme.

IMO I think it makes more sense to put advertising on the main site and fund it that way. If I was a user of this service I'd prefer to have some ads on the site rather than paying $1 for it. I don't feel it makes sense to remove the branded gifs...that's how you will grow your business, and it's not worth removing it because someone is just too cheap to pay.

Anyway, it's your business and not mine, so do what you feel is best.
