It's nothing specific to Kandel, I just find the standards of scholarship practiced by textbooks to be poor. Like I said, the book will be filled with claims like:

"The optic nerve is directly connected to the superior colliculus"

It seems very factual and set in stone but I bet if you read the primary literature there will be variation and doubt. If you read my last ref you will see they claim direct connections between CST and motorneurons in rats of some ages but not others. Perhaps this optic nerve claim was made based on using animals of a certain age, so it won't generalize. Who knows? That's why there should be a citation.

tl;dr Current textbook practices promote false certainty, and I don't think it is helpful for learning about a topic.
It is a good deal for Toronto. The land has sat undeveloped and contaminated for decades. You need someone with extremely deep pockets to come along and develop that space, even if it does mean giving up something in return.
I'm sorry for your loss. It must hurt pretty bad.

Would you say lack of transparency around what the markets are doing has been a contributing factor not being able to assess risk appropriately?

How to Get Out of the Rejection Downward Spiral in Your Tech Job Search
Probably because of this paragraph from the article:

> At Gratipay we’ve spent the past year gearing up to relaunch with a renewed focus on open source. However, funding open source is almost entirely about marketing, and we spent most of the past year writing code instead. File this one under, “open source needs all the skill sets,” but also, “startups need all the skill sets.”
Hyperion announced another update for AmigaOS 3.1
I think maybe payers are the product here not customers.
Canada basically has the immigration regime Trump is proposing: strictly skill based, no illegals allowed. I know, because before immigrating to the US I’ve looked into it, and the US was markedly easier for a skilled immigrant (and I suspect for anyone unskilled who can cross the border from the south).
Me too. If you can do lockless add-to-queue and remove-from-queue, that's valuable. It's hard to get that right, especially on non x86/amd64 platforms. Every network packet, and often every interrupt, goes through a queue operation like that. Not stalling the other CPUs on each interrupt is important.
The $1.9B number is terribly ungrounded in reality. Buffet's is a success story not of compounding but of leverage. He bought an insurance company so he could play with as much money as he needed, and that is considered one of his great secrets.

Basically everyone in the world is dying to give Warren Buffet their money so he'd invest it for a fee. The reason he is now worth $81B and not $162B is that every investment strategy has a maximum AUM it can support, and trying to use more money than that will just lower your returns. Buffet is so amazing because he can reach consistent good results with such a huge AUM, by employing a strategy that acquires entire large-cap companies and grows them.
If I could make written content to compete then why would I be watching said video in the first place? The objective of consumption is to learn, but what you advocate only works if one has already learned something.

What about when the video contains exclusive, important trade-related info? Is dismissing someone to go create their own content on exclusive information really a coherent counterargument (or useful strategy)? Do you really want the internet to be even more polluted with more second- and third-source crap than it already is?

Video is creators stroking their egos. The creator is unimportant, only his/her ideas, which internally manifest as words and should be transcribed as cleanly and accurately as possible. Video is an extremely poor medium for most ideas.
> If I ask you to calculate 8x8x8x8x8x8x8x8x8, your head will explode (it’s 134,217,728).

If only this question had asked for 8x8x8x8x8x8x8x8 instead... that's (2⁸)³=2²⁴=16777216, which many programmers would know. :-) (for example because it's the number of IP address in a /8 network, or the number of colors in a 24-bit color space, or the number of bytes addressable on by the Intel 286)

The logistics for having a Canadian HQ is significant. The Canadian talent pool size can't compete with the US. Getting so many American employees visas would be a challenge. With NAFTA renegotiation, the TN visa's future seems uncertain.
It is amazing to me how Nazis have become "just another point of view" in the tech world. "Let them hash it out in the marketplace of ideas," as if we haven't tried that before.

Genocide? Aryan supremacy? Well, both sides make valid points. Absolutely amazing that we got here.

You even see this with people attacking the latest Wolfenstein game for being anti-Nazi! How did we get here???

Sure. But the idea that it's happening in Toronto because Canadians are somehow more into the idea of AI than other places is a bit silly. Hence, my argument that this is a more information rich article.

Random remarks from the internet:

Not having the energy to pursue an idea is a useful filter. It means pursuing the idea is theoretically exciting but not actually exciting enough to actually pursue. That's most ideas for exceptional people and pretty much all ideas for most people. Machine learning and time series analysis pass the filter. Keep riding that bus for now.

Your day job of doing dull research is just a day job that advances your career opportunities, and having a PhD statistically increases a person's career opportunities. Grad school often ends with a 'death march' to just get the damn thing done. The only thing that is guaranteed is that not finishing means no PhD. Short of severe mental health issues, there's not much upside to quitting with only a year left.

Good luck.
Is my math right that the $0.77 per gallon in taxes comes out to about $10.50?

Is your entire daily experience only between your home and office and car? You don't even have to go to an office to see non-mobile phones.

You've never noticed the phones at every checkout stand in the grocery store? Or at every customer service desk in every retail store in the nation? Or hotel front desks?

When that new coffee shop opens down the street and isn't on Yelp yet (or is, but the hours are wrong anyway), how do you find out its hours? Do you ask the barista for his Facebook ID? How do you find out information about a place that doesn't have a web site, or that has an obviously outdated web site? Have you never worked in a place with a receptionist?

The only place I've ever worked that didn't have telephones turned out to be a scam operation. I don't think I would trust a company that didn't have phones.
They could have made it opt out.
I was swimming before. It got old in NYC because the pool just gets so crowded at the predictable times and you end up behind slow people, but if you have your own lane, it's an amazing workout!

I cancelled my gym membership. Now I just do 3 sets of:
- 1m30s plank
- 20 situps
- 5 leg lifts
- 15 pushups

I try to add a few reps to the sets every week or two and another exercise was a recent innovation. I started out at:
- 1 minute plank
- 15 situps
- 10 pushups

In addition I walk 35-40 minutes to and from work every day.

I know it's not perfect, but to me this routine has really helped! Good luck.
Sure, I am just saying that things changed in those silicon valley companies in the last ten years.

Those jobs with the as good as money stock grants are interesting because they represent the top of the market not just locally, but globally. If you want to maximize income in this industry and you are not good enough to move markets to you, you move to silicon valley and interview.
The feds are pouring tons of money into scientific research and commercialization. In 2016 it was this:

Ah, this is why AlphaGo won't release their source code or models.

If all ML algorithms can be fooled so trivially, this shows the human mind is not an ML algorithm.
I doubt that the current political situation in Egypt is to blame for the hassles the Egyptians give tourists. I was last in Cairo in 1999, and even then I was routinely aggressively hassled to buy stuff, camel rides, tours, etc.
Hate the fact that politics intervene, fund or don't fund this kind of stuff and hence interfere with almost every study on this topic.
No, the videos are distracting and seize the user's attention for ad delivery.

Imagine that I followed you around all day bumping into you, waiting for you to drop some money and then walk away without noticing, so I could pick it up. That's annoying and hostile to you, but profitable to be with sufficient automation. That's the modern commercial web.
This is the "it is this way; therefore people must want it this way" argument. It ignores the power of money to manipulate through advertising (or, in the general case, of power to coerce).

To take the specific example of FB, most people don't want to be tracked and advertised to, they just want an easy social space to interact with their friends and family. Sure, they'd probably prefer an ad-free, non-tracking version of FB, but not if it costs them much effort. So, FB's growth hacking, advertising, and critical mass have pushed millions of people into something they themselves would consider sub-optimal (assuming it was explained to them, ofc -- many are plain unaware).

On top of that, the average user simply does not have the knowledge to make an informed decision. Not about what's technically happening, and certainly not about what the long term consequences will be, although arguably no one knows about that.

This is the answer whether most choose to admit it or not.

Years ago folks would never consider the option of summoning a stranger (not a taxi, a stranger in their own vehicle) to come pick them up at their home and drop them off where they were going. However, today everyone living in any substantial metropolis does it in a heartbeat. Why? It's time-efficient, we've got well-established services that hold "some sort" of accountability and it's the most convenient option in most cities.

Today almost no one would be willing to say "Yeah I'll take a self-driving car to the airport" because the process has yet to be proven successful. After all, it's _only_ 2017... give it 10 years and we'll see what the majority are doing. It's about what people do not what they say they will do. Actions speak louder than words.
There was a period in late 2014-early 2015 where NW.js stagnated, but since then it's been very actively developed. I found this 2016 comparison pretty even-handed and comprehensive; it'd be nice to see an updated version for 2017. http://tangiblejs.com/posts/nw-js-and-electron-compared-2016...
If ML can be fooled so easily, what happens when the entire city or all our transportation is run by ML? My hypothesis: bad things happen.
Thanks a lot for all the feedback!
1. Yes will think about it. For just the API it would make definitely sense. However because the same technology currently also powers the bookmarking service which has to support as much as possible does the API also.
2. Exactly what RussianCow said. Honestly not a big fan of it either but that was the best I could come up with to accommodate that.

About the product.

1. It logs all requests which had issues with the more descriptive cause. Always go through all of them and fix the issues. The more people use it the more stuff breakes and the product can be improved. So I guess will get way better in the next days ;-)
2. Will also check and fix.
3. Will definitely look into that!

If you run into more issues or have more comments would love to hear them here or at api@link.fish . Thanks again!

I find DDG useful for probably ~75% of searches, so I keep it as my default, and switch over to Google if needed.

What aspect of DDG "sucks" for you?
They are engaging in consistent (roughly hourly) physical activity (significant amount of walking) in order to go smoke, while the non-smokers are not.

The question here is not whether smoking is good for you, which it obviously isn't. It's whether, in this case, the benefit of being forced by addiction to get up and engage in light physical activity once per hour outweighs the carcinogenic effects of the tobacco consumed during smoke breaks.

Per capita, Canada takes far more immigrants than the US. I believe it’s 300,000 vs the US with 1,000,000. But Canada has 1/10th the population, so per capita it’s about 3x. Massive difference over time.

"Recent studies by Google Brain have shown that any machine learning classifier can be tricked to give incorrect predictions"

-- That has to be an overly broad statement (edit: it might true if you say "neural nets" or something specific instead). I would assume they mean any standard deep learning system and maybe any system that is more or less "generalized regression" but that couldn't be "any machine learning system", I mean one could imagine a deterministic model that couldn't be "tricked".

Plus a link would be good (it's not around the quote, I don't know if it's elsewhere in the article).

Other than following the election very closely and observing, no I don't have evidence. Tags like #whichhillary were very popular at times yet not in the trending tags. If you caught a tag before the censors you could see it trending before they removed it. Again, just observation, sadly.

Are their trending hashtags included in the firehose data or otherwise recorded? Someone could go back and analyze it if they had the data.

edit: Here you go. Also google for it to find more links. Feb 2016, well before the primary was over.

In economics, the term "rent-seeking" has a specific meaning. Taking pensions, presumably after paying into the system for 40 years, does not generally fit it.

A more accurate and less ageist example is the struggling company that lobbies the government for government grants or special protections. This activity fails to create any benefit for society and in fact harms the public by redistributing resources from taxpayers to the company.
I used to think the horror stories about PayPal were mostly from sellers, and that they at least went out of their way to do well by buyers. This "support" experience demonstrated otherwise; now I just think they have awful support across the board.

One hundred times this. Most taxi drivers will be happy to "adopt" you for a few days, and arrange for you tickets, hostel, restaurants, and anything else that you need. He'll pay the local price and get a kickback, and you'll still come out far ahead. Plus you will get to see real Cairo, not tourist Cairo, if you ask him.
As long as GPU support is not functional in headless, "any web page" is a misnomer. A large enough percentage of sites use GPU acceleration so that headless mode is useless. This needs to be addressed by the Chrome team.
My work doesn't allow the latest version of FireFox, so after months of crashes and general unbearably slowness on MacOS I switched to UnGoogled Chromium. I wish I could go back to FF because I like Mozilla as an org, but it's not in the cards for my day to day.
I can relate to this. Getting liquidated early on in my career taught me a lot about risk management and a lot about myself. I kept throwing good money after bad, sure that I was correct and that it was only a matter of time. It wasn't... and I wasn't as smart or clever as I thought I was.

Nowadays I put much less confidence in any one position. Leaving room for being wrong is the most important thing.

It seems like the attack relies on `doping` the input with features present in a different target, or by masking features of the existing target.

That's why I said wealthier. As a lot of people pointed out new cars, especially electric, are still something bought by people earning more than average. These aren't yachts but they are still target higher end come breaks.

Even with the tax breaks that include middle class earners benefit the rich more just by the nature of how deductions work. The rich tax payer would have had this deducted income taxed at a higher bracket than the middle tax payer would thus a bigger absolute savings on their tax bill.

I don't know, but I remember when hating Nazi's was as American as apple pie or baseball.

Call of Duty, Wolfenstein, Battlefield 1942 if I recall correctly; were all anti-Nazi and it was basically it's own genre of first person shooters.

Then everything moved towards terrorism related themes (Counterstrike starting that I'm guessing)... then political correctness just referred to it as "Opposing Force (OpFor)".

Weird times we live in.
