> It works in Japan

However, it doesn't work in London. There are a dozen train franchises, remnants of the privatized and sliced-up British Rail system. They are all atrocious in service quality, frequency, capacity and usually price when compared to the parts of the system that were never privatised (the Underground) or that were renationalised (the Overground).
Let’s say you pay $0.09/GB for transit for your servers hosted on AWS. How would you like to pay $0.50/GB on top of that to Comcast for the last 10 Miles of Transit?
Let me know when Go has something comparable to Windows Forms, WPF, UWP, Xamarin.Forms, Avalonia.

Oh, and when I have to use Go, I find a chore to write generic code as if I was back in 1992 using Borland C++ 2.0 for MS-DOS, with pre-processor based code generation for BIDS or still using Java 1.4 (EOL in 2008).
London Underground was state-owned in the 80s too.
A lot of things people talk about would involve the ISP having infrastructure changes to facilitate more charges which might or might not make fiscal sense (it is not that easy to prioritize Facebook) . But one thing they can practically immediately do is hose you on gaming (or VoIP, same). Whether you pay or not pay for the gaming package your routing can be changed to have more or less latency to everyone outside of the ISP network simply by putting you on more outdated sections of backhaul, worse peering links etc. I am truly afraid they can make this very bad with extremely little effort.

No idea why you were downvoted. USB hispeed frame is 125 us and microframe obviously less than that. If the device is the only one on that USB controller, latency can be just that.
Side story, I shortly worked for a big game company that dived into mobile games, and learnt from the market team that the most bought packages where the cheapest and the most expensive ones. The intermediary ones were nearing 0 sales.

So they kept adding new packages at higher prices until it reached about 120$ IIRC. All intermediary packages are just there to make the "best value" (read highest price) package more enticing.

If the ISP's decide to throttle, my guess is GOOGL/FB/APPLE would set up their own wireless ISP's. Largest cities first. Of course they might decide to counter-throttle services the original ISP made shady deals with?
This article assumes the reader is aware that the earth is not flat. It uses the example of arguments in favor of the view the earth is flat to expose the inherent problems with arguments of that form, so that editors who are faced with less obvious truths can recognize such specious arguments.

To close the circle, this was recently released as a paid game ($1.99 or $2.99 not sure) on mobile.

This game works so well (within its scope) because of its ability to surprise you with the crazy narrative and convoluted mechanisms it brings in as you progress.

The current title is '200 universities just launched 600 free online courses. Here’s the full list.'

But apparently:

-'just' means 'in the last 3 months'

- 'universities' includes companies that aren't universities

- 'launched' means 'announced'

e.g. 'Sequence models' hasn't yet been launched and, when it is, it won't have been launched by a university

How about the most silent lecture?

"Cole’s lecture was different. He did not speak a single word. He simply went to the board, and began to calculate. On one side of the board, he calculated 267 – 1 = 147,573,952,589,676,412,927 by hand. Then he went to the other side of the board and worked out the product of 193,707,721 and 761,838,257,287, the factors of 147,573,952,589,676,412,927. After spending the silent hour working out the calculations, Cole simply turned around and went back to his seat, completely silent! The audience erupted into a standing ovation."

>For example, banning someone from the social network should be subject to due process

Speaking as someone who often feels disconnected due to their refusal to accept facebook TOS, I would come at this from a very different direction.

Facebook should be required to provide a standardized API and data storage format that allows syndication with other social networks and allows users to transition their data to other social networks.

Think "Pacific Railway Act 1863" for social networks. You can build as much infrastructure as you like, but it _must_ be inter-operable with your competitors.

Then Facebook can ban who they like, there's nothing stopping people from using a different provider.

Let’s say Charter decides to blacklist all Shopify ip addresses from routing into their network, then tells online merchants if they want to sell to customers who chose Charter, they have to buy “enhanced” ecommerce hosting from Charter. And then AT&T, Comcast, Verizon and Sprint all do the same.

And of course, Charter only takes product feeds in JSON, AT&T only tab-delimited, Comcast only XML, Verizon only CSV. It’ll be great for ChannelAdvisor and curtains for anyone who can’t afford their costly services.

You’ll still need that Shopify account to reach customers on smaller ISPs.
As a native New Yorker I was blown away by the Shenzhen subway when I visited last year.

It's spotless, easy to navigate (lots of language-free signs with really clear intuitive diagrams of where to go), and almost eerily fast and smooth-riding. And 5 bars of LTE the whole time.
What tech/software resources would you recommend for a non-technical founder?
I've run a SaaS company for far too long without a good understanding of the technical side of things. I'm looking to catch up on that and develop an understanding of how things are structured and what's possible from our tech team.

I'm not necessarily looking to actually code anything myself (at least for our company) but while doing research before posting this I found some intro stuff that had me doing basic things in a few minutes that was kinda fun.

This article, for example, gave me a better understanding of how everything is organized: http://viniciusvacanti.com/2010/11/01/6-things-you-need-to-learn-to-build-your-own-prototype/

Thanks!

The brazilian aardvark is an interesting example because it created a genuine fact. It is now also known as the brazilian Aardvark with no caveats. It is more concerning if this happens with statements that aren't as self fulfilling. For example, saying that Elvis is alive to enough people doesn't somehow make it so.
That's an infrastructure design thing though. You literally can't run the London Underground 24/7 because there's only one pair through the centre for each line, so when you shut a tunnel to send a bunch people in, you can't run the service.

Night Tube (the centre parts of the London Underground running continuously from early Friday to the middle of the night on Sunday) is mostly about re-arranging maintenance and cleaning programmes to avoid Friday and Saturday night closures. They hired a bunch more staff, but there's no infrastructure fix, so still nothing like New York.
I interviewed for one position where it was C# and SQL.

Come interview technical test, they start asking JS questions. I asked if their would be JS in the role, as it wasn't specified anywhere, I've never done JS, don't want to do JS.

They sorta dodged the question a bit and continued to ask me JS questions. Which was pointless as I had no clue.

The whole interview they both sat their looking incredibly smug adn the whole interview had a definite sense of hostility and them trying to prove they were smarter than me.

I let the recruiter know straight after that I had no intention of going back for a second interview.

>try to assert that your professional experience and knowledge is somehow inferior to theirs (or at least make you feel that way).

I had this exact situation happen a while ago. I applied for a front-end developer role and the interviewer insisted on asking questions about the deep internals of node. And whenever I gave a satisfactory answer he would immediately tell me an alternative answer, as if mine isn't somehow good enough. The entire interview just felt like he had to one up me at all times.

For fairness, I think I should state the opposing position.

By creating packaged services, internet access (though not "neutral" access to all parts of the internet equally) could become cheaper for a lot of people. FB could choose (they do this, notably in low income countries) to pay the ISP costs so their users can use the service for free. Google could do the same.

Access to the internet could use the same economic levers that exist widely on the internet, which have a tendency to free, and to expansive participation.

The likes of Google & FB stand to benefit most from (for example) connecting the last 50% in low income countries. They have the resources to pay for it. Letting them will (at the margin) mean more access for more people. It's hard to argue that for those people, theoretical net neutrality is worth more than net access.

^I'm on the other side of this position. But, I think it's hard to justify it on "normal" grounds, by analogy to other industries or abstract legal/legislative principles. Effectively, net neutrality means limiting the competitive scope of one part of the internet to enrich the comptetitive dynamics of another part. In practice, I think this is a really good thing. But it's hard to put that into legislatively acceptable terms, which are supposed to be based on general principles.

You need to accept a judgemnt call. The ISPs' job is less important, on the margin. The innovative potential of (for example) the web is enourmous in comparison. ISPs are infrastructure businesses, naturally oligopolistic and with a tendency towards corporate or state cronyism. The web is a platform where you can actually compete for a patch without a global-scale war chest. We have lots of examples of winners that won because they were good, even though they had few resources.

All that said, the internet itself is becoming so centralized that the argument is getting muddied.

I agree with you, but AIUI the US legislation about common carriers covers discrimination between customers, not between types of content. So you couldn't, for example, charge rich people more than poor people, for the same service. You also couldn't charge people of Indian descent more than you charge caucasians.

What I'd like to understand, though, is: what if an ISP provides customers with more reliable connectivity to HBO (due to payment of a fee), than they provide to an equivalent Hindi-language broadcaster (because they can't afford or don't want to pay such a fee)?

Can the latter's customers claim that the ISP is discriminating against them?

The title is not quite true,

intel will ship a package that has an AMD GPU+HBM combined with a CPU but they are not the same chip, basically, Intel is buying already fabricated GPU chips from AMD and putting them together with their CPU to sell them as one unit.

I like the idea of flash non-fiction, but I never seem able to find much about it. Not one-liners, rather in the 3-5 paragraph range, which might be understood as being an article (ex. newspaper/magazine), only articles are usually longer.

I'd love to find an example of a media outlet that does such a thing, albeit with mid/high-brow content.
That's what I felt when I first heard the news ... then Raja jumped ship to Intel to head up a discrete GPU business, so I think Intel view this as more of a stop-gap "necessary evil" and will only entertain it for a limited time.

That's assuming Raja still has the chops to compete at the top table, something his latest tenure at AMD would call into doubt ...

> Or Germany. It was just announced today that Merkel was unable to form a majority coalition after the recent election

One has nothing to do with the other.

The political landscape in Germany is transforming, and has been since long before the refugee crisis. Previously typical majority constellations have gone away (and won't come back, AfD or no), and the parties are struggling to find a place in this new reality.

The failure of this round of coalition talks was due to one party not understanding that they need to be more flexible in the new political reality.

My personal suspicion is that, should it come to reelections, they would be punished for their stubbornness.
> What would a break-up of Facebook look like?

1) Publish open APIs that enable federation between Facebook-like services
2) Split Facebook.com into three companies - Facebook the infrastructure company, Facebook the we-sell-advertisements-to-our-users-plus-sell-unprocessed-user-data company, and Facebook the we-process-user-data-to-sell-insights-useful-for-advertising company. Establish legal walls between these companies to ensure that they only communicate with each other through their APIs.
3) Enforce federation by splitting the middle "we actually host users and their walls and their data" company along state lines and international borders, so that they are more beholden to local authorities and jurisdictions.
IM not sure its that much of bedfellows, with this they are not sharing their IP with Intel, these GPUs are discrete chips that AMD is just selling to Intel who is then selling them alongside their CPUs on the same package.

it's not like AMDs GPU designs are going shared with Intel. Nor are they giving up control of fabrication.
That's not a very practical way to think about democracy. Yes, that's the middle school government-class platonic ideal of democracy and government, but that's not exactly the whole dynamic.

"they have to slow down everybody else"

No they don't. They could achieve much the same impact by slowing down only traffic that appears to be video or audio, e.g. by allowing everything through at full speed, until a customer has transferred more than, say 10MB, from a particular IP address over a one hour period.

This wouldn't impact blogs or most corporate brochure sites, but would still have negative effects for many startups.

I have a habit of playing a F2P game to understand how easy it is to advance. They really do understand how to get you hooked, and then put you up against players/AI where you either have to grind for the next 10 weeks or handover money, and even then I suspect you'd hit another wall every 10 or so levels. I usually end up uninstalling very quickly at this point.

Clash Royale is, much to my surprise, a game that heavily, heavily rewards skill over money bombs.

I've played against clear whale players - several levels higher than me, troops massively over leveled for the match making strata we were in - and they were uniformly terrible players who I beat easily.

Clash Royale is a really interesting game in many ways - it's Free-2-Play path is carefully calibrated to offer a perfect opportunity to pay them £10 on a "special offer" after you've been playing for 6 months to speed you over the grind hump at level 8 ish. That's the point where your in-game currency rewards can't quite match the amount of currency you have to spend upgrading your troops. Once you are over that hump though and get to the next arena level your in game currency rewards increase again relative to upgrade costs and you are back on another F2P coast.

Their non-special offer real-money shop though is absolutely appalling value for money. Anyone who ever buys gems from them at regular prices is crazy in the coconut.
HBM, HBM2, HBM3 etc. are industry standard and the result of precompetitive research. Intel's KNL has been using similar stacked memory (MCDRAM). NVIDIA's P100 has been using HBM2.
Security problems are bugs, sure. But a different kind. Security is a non-functional requirement.

In an analogy with construction, each room is a functional requirement, and non-functional requirements are the materials you used to build, which can be considered some sort of quality attribute.

And just like in construction, if after building a house you are given more strict seismic requirements, fire prevention, etc... you might need to rebuild the entire house.
Linus advocates: 1) first do no harm to the kernel. 2) better to phase in warnings and fixes, rather than enforce a panic. 3) there's sufficient track record of security in practice.

This sounds fully reasonable to me. If you're an OS builder and prefer an immediate-panic hardened system, then catch the warnings.

A DBN is equivalently just stacked RBMs. Most folks just use stacked autoencoders for the exact same reasons you'd use a DBN.
