> This comes mostly to fill up the void that UK will leave in the E.U. by exiting and ofc is not going to fly.

Alternatively, this has been in the making for a long time, but always has been kept back by the UK to support their relevance inside of the EU. Why do you state that it "[of course] is not going to fly"? Can you refer to some similar situations that provide precedent for your prediction?

> The European Union is at crossroads

Why? And why at this particular point in time? Is it because the UK is leaving, or are there any other reasons the EU cannot maintain their current course?

> Not to mention that is nearly impossible for him to achieve anything substantial against Berlin.

How so? Is the EU colluding with Germany to the detriment of the other member states? Can you provide any evidence of this?

> Everybody tries to make his best, while every action of every key-player leads inevitably to the worst possible outcome.

Do you mean for this particular endeavour or their policies in general? Because in general the results of the EU up to this point seem far from the worst possible outcome. If you mean this particular policy, why do you believe it will lead to the worst possible outcome in this specific instance?
Wow. What keywords do you suggest I use to search for more info about this particular topic?
Is is intriguing to me to consider the limitations of space travel if you were an aquatic organism. Simply moving that much of any fluid versus empty "air" space would make leaving your planet that much more difficult. That's not to mention the inherent issues of electricity and developing circuits underwater.
I think the goal is to be able to sell engineers on Amazon. To do this, a spec sheet of each engineer is needed and all these tests are attempt to create a standardised way of generating spec sheets.
Out of curiosity, what are your issues with OmniFocus?

I have some issues with it (primarily that it's hard to share information from it with other people), but otherwise I find it to be a fantastic personal tool for GTD (I'd use it for work, but my office is all Windows).

That said, I do like paper and org-mode at least as much. I definitely find paper best for writing down my intentions and clarifying them before I enter them into OmniFocus.

Every single review that I've read has mentioned that it does not work 100% of the time that the reviewer expected it to.

Neither does TouchID, and you’ll pry that from my cold, dead, fingers, one of which will probably be hovering over the TouchID sensor.
I made another comment about them below, but i will repeat in a different way.

People have their own assessment of what is valuable, and getting exactly what they want means they are willing to part with as much utility. A person that loves sandwiches with blue cheese is willing to pay more for that cheese than he would with the a regular sandwich.

The existence of blue cheese sandwiches is moderately irrelevant to the existence of regular sandwiches. And banning them would only increase the price of regular sandwiches and also make those people less happy. Less sandwiches would be sold.

Preferred shares don't really hit common shares. If you knew exactly how it went, then you would make an assessment of the value of the shares as they are. Your internal valuation of sandwiches will adjust to the existence of blue cheese sandwiches.

The reason why they feel unfair, and they are unfair in this sense, is that the guys with preferred shares know what they are getting, and you dont. And also, as an employee you dont get to buy preferred shares. If you dont know the price of blue cheese sandwiches and you can't buy them, you will find them unfair. Banning sandwiches is not the solution to the problem.
I'm not saying this is a technical problem.

I'm saying, what prohibits them in the future from stopping to care again?
Well, certainly you could put any number of different application payloads on this kind of platform. The end-effector you talk about is interesting as a mobile manipulator for rough terrain. If you have that problem, that is.
FWIW, I think this mostly shows that the GOGC defaults will surprise you when your program keeps a small amount of live data but allocates quickly and is CPU bound. By default, it's trying to keep allocated heap size under 2x live data. If you have a tiny crypto bench program that keeps very little live data around, it won't take many allocations to trigger a GC. So the same code benchmarked here would trigger fewer GCs in the context of a program that had more data live. For example, it would have gone faster if the author had allocated a 100MB []byte in a global variable.

If your program is far from exhausting the RAM but is fully utilizing the CPU, you might want it to save CPU by using more RAM, equivalent to increasing GOGC here. The rub is that it's hard for the runtime ever be sure what the humans want without your input: maybe this specific Go program is a little utility that you'd really like to use no more RAM than must to avoid interference with more important procs. Or maybe it's supposed to be the only large process on the machine, and should use a large chunk of all available RAM. Or it's in between, if there are five or six servers (or instances of a service) sharing a box. You can imagine heuristic controls that override GOGC in corner cases (e.g., assume it's always OK to use 1% of system memory), or even a separate knob for max RAM use you could use in place of GOGC. But the Go folks tend to want to keep things simple, so right now you sometimes have to play with GOGC values to get the behavior you want.

Unfortunately, I cannot find that article. IIRC, the loan never gets foreclosed. It's like the bank is receiving an interest as a fee for the service of tax-free repatriation. If I had time to analyze this further, I would take top 5 tech companies I compare their long term debts with their off-shore holdings (or estimates if not available).

I'm not saying they can't do this.

They are all real smart people.

I just have the fear they will forget about it in a few years again.
I failed <100%. shrugs The problem I have with tests like this is it uses syntax I've never used before and I'm not sure how it works. Also the real world involves testing out and seeing what works and what doesn't. For example,

#1
CREATE INDEX tbl_idx ON tbl (date_column)
SELECT COUNT()
FROM tbl
WHERE EXTRACT(YEAR FROM date_column) = 2017

I've never used EXTRACT() in my life, so I don't know if it's index aware. I do know in real life I would write "WHERE date_column >= '2017-1-1' AND date_column <= '2017-12-31' or if I were querying a school_year or something that spanned between two years I would add another column and probably an index on that column and query by that not by the date_column.

#2
CREATE INDEX tbl_idx ON tbl (a, date_column)

SELECT
FROM tbl
WHERE a = 12
ORDER BY date_column DESC
FETCH FIRST 1 ROW ONLY

Who uses FETCH FIRST 1 ROW ONLY instead of LIMIT 1? Also indexes can be ordered by ASC or DESC so there's a possibility of a small optimization there.

#4
CREATE INDEX tbl_idx ON tbl (text varchar_pattern_ops)

SELECT *
FROM tbl
WHERE text LIKE 'TJ%'

I thought the general philosophy regarding indexes was create the ones you know you need like on foreign keys and very common ones like last_name, SSN etc and then if you notice queries running slow add more and test. This seems like one of those examples. Do you really need an index here? How often are you making this query and what's the speedup gained if you add an index?

#5
CREATE INDEX tbl_idx ON tbl (a, date_column)

SELECT date_column, count()
FROM tbl
WHERE a = 38
GROUP BY date_column

Let's say this query returns at least a few rows.

To implement a new functional requirement, another condition (b = 1) is added to the where clause:

SELECT date_column, count()
FROM tbl
WHERE a = 38
AND b = 1
GROUP BY date_column

This seems like another case in the real world where you might test what the slowdown is, and how often you're running this query. If needed you can add another index or run a subquery first, but the answer to this question can be found out in < 10seconds in the real world more quickly by testing it than even spending the time thinking about it.

Of all the products I've used over the years that no longer exist Google Reader is the only one I still constantly miss. At least once or twice a week I think about how I wish it was still around. I use Digg now, but it's just not quite the same.
It's really important not to skip the math. As a friend once said to me, doing deep learning without understanding the math is like gambling. It's fine to initially take a more practical, project-based approach for the sake of staying motivated, and you'll retain things better if you have project goals in mind, but, the math is that important.

The good news is that compared to other technical fields, the math is also relatively shallow. Here are some good resources that you don't need more than calculus/linalg for (I've used all of them and they got me off the ground):

http://cs231n.stanford.edu/

http://neuralnetworksanddeeplearning.com/

http://course.fast.ai/

Once you feel confident, the Deep Learning book is more math-heavy, but it is really very good. The authors are more or less deep learning gods. It'll teach you a tremendous amount about how/why neural nets work and the principles used to discover new architectures, and gain a strong intuition for how to use neural nets as a tool. Read it slowly---unless you're already good at math, it takes a while to get through. Don't skip the first five chapters. Use Google and Wikipedia to pick up concepts you don't understand along the way instead of skipping over them (it will bite you later).
I don't think this is quite right. France has pushed for EU military integration for a long time, mostly because France would like the German economy powering French foreign policy goals. (France is quite active on the world stage, including recent interventions in Mali and Libya and a large role in the CJTF-OIR against ISIS.) The British would instead prefer Europe act through NATO, where European goals will be married to American ones, and has blocked an EU Army for a long time. Now that the UK is leading, France is pushing the EU Army idea once again.

When I did the quiz (5/5), I assumed based on the query and the information given that the index was being helpful in the first example, so I assumed it was index scanning.

In that case it does have to recheck the additional condition which would definitely be slower.

However, following your assumption, I would say, both would be about the same speed because it still has to sequence scan the whole table (because more b=1 rows could exist)

Anyways. Seeing that the result could be either of the two answers, I agree that the question is under-specified

Our labor force participation rate has continued to drop, giving us a shrinking tax base. The official unemployment stat includes underemployed and part time workers as well, and is not fully reflective of the health of our economy.

Good article from Pew Research on this:
http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/03/07/employment-v...

"As many observers have pointed out, the official unemployment definition leaves out some significant groups. The underemployed – part-time workers who would prefer to work full-time – are counted among the employed. And discouraged workers – people who’d like a job but have stopped looking because they don’t believe any work is available – aren’t counted as part of the labor force at all."
To be honest, I would refrain to use Tizen as positive example of anything.

Samsung already rebooted the SDK so many times, and the platform lack of security is well known, I doubt it will ever get serious beyond a few watches and TV sets from Samsung.
Yes. I wonder how this would have turned out differently if I'd had ISOs. I exercised them all and paid taxes on the difference between the strike price and the 409(a) valuation, treated as income, and the company did me a favor by arranging for me to sell a small number of shares to one of their investors at much higher than the 409(a) valuation to cover my tax bill (the agreed-upon price was close to, but not quite, what they were planning to raise their next round at). I thought this was a pretty classy way to solve the liquidity problem for an employee that owed taxes, and I would like to see something like this become standard.

Not only greedy, but also incompetent.
With reason. The military isn't something us Euros like to spend money on, the US has been whining about European NATO commitments since day 1.

Healthcare, housing, education, infrastructure. Those are the things I take pride in. Not a new airforce jet.
I agree that it isn't really tax free since you got to pay it back eventually, but because mortgages generally require some minimum amount down (at least here in Canada) it's a real consideration for many people, though it does come at a cost later if you're going up tax brackets.

I also agree that it isn't just intelligence, but I do think you can't do much if you aren't at least in the top 5%, even with a whole hell of a lot of training. Much of investing is a zero sum game, and it's extremely competitive.

I also agree that most people should do broad basket, diversified ETFs and I also think your stop-loss strategy is above average, but I think you could probably do better if you were willing to take more risks on individual companies / technologies.

As for returns, I agree that it doesn't look good on paper for the first 20 years, but the difference compounds and building experience matters. I'm now at the point where I'm both better at it and I have more at my disposal to grow. Last time I checked, not counting crytpo-currencies, I'm averaging around 18% per year pre-inflation across a mix of bonds, stocks, and funds. Now, much of that has been a combination of timing / luck on currencies. So let's call it 15% to be safe. Doubling every 5 years, I'm 32 and I started this at around 15. I put maybe 200 hours into it a year and the family portfolio not counting housing or shares in hard-to-sell startups is almost $1m. Another 40 years of this is going to really make all this effort worth it, provided we don't have something catastrophic like a world war / economic collapse.

On getting downvoted:

I don't let it bother me. I try to remember that sometimes I see things I know are factually wrong get upvoted and that sometimes I'm getting upvoted despite being wrong. The votes aren't the truth, even if they do correlate.

Maybe we need more webs-of-trust on social networks that should influence how votes are counted. Because if you just judge thing by the words on their own, somethings can sound wrong or crazy at first blush even if they are right. For example, Facebook's Instagram acquisition was seen as dumb, but it was genius. Although maybe this idea is wrong. Maybe we already overweigh the opinions of the connected and powerful.
Intelligence is the ability to take decisions that lead to maximum utility, not just "good decisions". Utility is the main currency of decisions.

I found this article very interesting because it showcases the exploration/exploitation dilemma of reinforcement learning. Even a bacteria colony is a RL agent, reacting to external events in a useful way.
A key idea is reducing churn, not simply avoiding allocation at all. For example, if the code which renders a frame always needs a four byte array each time it runs, it could reuse the same array each time, rather than allocating then garbage collecting each time.
Lol, my apologies I misunderstood the title :-D
I'm actually a bit surprised that they don't just abstain, so that their vote doesn't count. I mean, if you're going to be a passive investor, actually be passive. Voting in favor of the management or ISS all the time is not passive.

Almost every state and local government agency is underfunded, many in the billions of dollars. The reasoning is that they can always just raise future taxes, which allows for huge agency risk of politicians buying union votes. The politician gets elected, the current union members get paid, and the future taxpayers and union members who aren't voting get shafted.

401ks aren't perfect, but it's better than the above system. There's a reason no one sells annuities even close to what the government offers in it's pension benefits. It's ridiculously costly without using funny numbers.
"ChuckMcM's comment is yet another disappointing step toward the total calcification of this forum. It's not a commentary on the article; it simply states, lazily, and ignorantly, that whatever it is they're attempting at IIT-M, it can't be too hard. What an an incredibly condescending and blasé thing to say, especially on a public forum where what you say can't be erased."

I suppose it could be deleted though. I would hate to be a contributor to calcification.

One of the things that stuck out to me about the article was that everyone of their stated goals would be met "instantly" if they bought an ARM architecture license. They aren't cheap but in terms of man years of effort they aren't expensive either.

As a result of owning such a license they could make processors of their own design which leveraged they ARM infrastructure (this is what Apple does for example). That could meet their 'openness' of implementation goals, their 'made in india' goals, and their 'range of architectures from controller to server'. But they aren't doing that.

I understand you read it as condescending, but my intention was to be illustrative of the part of the problems they missed in that grand vision they wrote about in the article. How would you suggest I say that such that you would not hear it as a dismissal?
It would be nice to be able to declare endpoints for structured responses to items. I'd like to be able to thumbs up/down or rate articles in a client and have it go back to the publisher in addition to helping me customize what I read.
> I'd like to see a version of "basic employment".

That is a clever way to avoid many of the key benefits of basic income, particularly its ability to improve the ability of the labor force to adapt organically by weakening the degree to which present minimal support and retraining for better prospects are at odds.

“Basic employment” may make sense as a solution to temporary economic downturns, where it amounts to simple countercyclical spending; unless the goal is to have an ever growing share of the population economically coerced into being a perpetual involuntary government labor force, it's not a good way of dealing with any long-term need.
This point was brought up directly after the agreement. Look and behold that was exactly what happened.

The theory I like is that they were too gullible and trusting. Their stated mission was to unite the two camps big blockers and segwit supporters and to avoid a divide in the community. What they didn't realize was that the community was already divided and it's impossible to unite Core's blind focus on off chain scaling with on chain scaling.
I'm going to give you the choice of being stabbed or punched. It would be morally presumptuous on my part to assume you don't actually enjoy the choice you have made, given you took that choice logically.

Using the SetGCPercent option with a large value is dangerous, it may cause a program never get GCed before virtual memory is exploited.
And when this happens, Go programs will become very very slow.

The current official Go runtime performs very very poorly when virtual memory is involved. It may make the while OS non-interactive so that you must restart your computer.

A SetGCMemoryThreshold(maxMemory int) opition is better for many programs.
Does that also work on the <base> element? Browsing through MDN it seems like it doesn’t.

Patent holders don't have to license anything if they don't want to. That's how patents work.

The UK can't decide its way out of a paper bag at the moment. See other comment; while the permanent state yet functions, the political leadership is a mess and we're still discussing whether it's a good idea to collapse our major export industries or not.
If so then I don't know why it has felt so different to every other app on all 3 of my Nexus devices (currently the 6P).

Torvalds never pounce on someone out on tail end of the patch chain. He comes down hard on those that have been in charge of maintaining major sections of the kernel for years, and should know what is expected of them.

I don't think that's necessarily good enough. Even if he is personally restrained in whom he acts like a jerk towards, his behaviour establishes norms within the project and contributes to how other people behave.

Project leaders need to set good examples.
