This is a bit of an understatement:

"The Nazi leader’s interest in the vehicle was such that he even contributed his own sketch of what he felt the vehicle should look like, although it only has a passing resemblance to the final designs."

I think they should go back to Hitler's original sketch and look again. In my opinion, Hitler came up with the fundamental look of the Beetle. This goes beyond "only a passing resemblance" to what we know as the Beetle today.

Thanks for this! CNN object detection is a tough subject to crack ATM..

I've been playing with the tensorflow object detection project for work, but the tutorials are in various states of broken right now.. The COCO models in their zoo have pretty good results detecting much of what they know about in a scene, however the new Open Image Dataset model only hits on a few major scene elements and.. appears to have a footware fetish.

I'm simultaneously attempting to train a new model based on resnet101 and the open image dataset, and taking the deep learning course by Andrew NG on coursera trying to build a better understanding of the networks in these models. It's rough going and posts like this are invaluable; thanks for putting it together!

It would likely be referring to a painting that not many people would have seen publicly. You're right, the Mona Lisa is a "rare" painting by definition, as there is only one of it amongst however many works of art exist. But because it's well known and seen publicly a lot, you wouldn't call it 'rare'.

Though by my own definition, it means the scribbles on the side of my notepad are equally (if not more) rare. So disregard my comment as 5.30pm without enough caffeine nonsense.

People have no problems distinguishing between theather/movies/interactive movies (where faces are even better than in CoD)/games, and real life. And homicides (as well as other violent crimes) are going down for the last 20 years or more, while computer games are more and more popular.

It's quite clear to me, that violence in computer games doesn't make people more violent in real life. On the other hand it's possible that violent people do choose more violent games than less violent people.

Also, while we're on the subject of murdering people - easily accessible firearms do make people more likely to kill people. That's pretty low-hanging fruit right there.
No, not like that. Technically that only required a supermajority of miners to install the fixed version (and everyone to stop trading temporarily, but there wasn't much of that going on back then anyway). This would be harder because it really would require everyone to upgrade. BIP50 is probably closer; that did require everyone to upgrade over a relatively short timespan or work around the issue by changing a setting, ironically enough due to a latent bug triggered by increasing block size closer to the maximum 1MB.

Here is the 400 page document that I think is usually the one being waved around.

The first link is from the FCC site, but has been slow lately, so I've also given a link to a copy at scribd.

https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-15-24A1.pd...

https://www.scribd.com/document/258492433/Full-net-neutralit...

Note: the page numbers in the table of contents are way off. Apparently the TOC was generated for printing in either a large font or on smaller sheets. In the following I will give page numbers as printed at the bottom of the pages of the scribd version. The FCC version bottom of page numbers are 5600 higher than the scribd version, so if I say page X, that is page X+5600 in the FCC version. In other words the numbering runs 1-400 in the scribd version, and 5601-6000 in the FCC version.

The actual rules are in APPENDIX A, "Final Rules". This starts on page 283 and ends on 290.

>> In fact, "the government and taxpayers made a $23 billion profit from the AIG bailout."

The results do not justify the process. Would small business owners be offered the same loans that were unjustifiable based on assets:liabilities? I can answer that for you right now as someone who has cash in the bank to cover a six figure loan but can't get one due to a 690ish credit score: No, they won't.

That we made a profit on (some of the) bailouts doesn't matter. The same process would never be offered to 99.999% of the other citizens of this country.
If you are being unkind, then yes he is making what seems to be a type of category error. Dummett or Frege might decribe it as using a second order predicate as a first order predicate. Entirely grammatical, but nonsensical.

2) An ability to scale factories, technologies, industries, and business processes at a breakneck pace the US bureaucratic system holds up. As Steve Jobs said: "The iPhone is never going to be made in America." He said it not because of the cost - that was secondary - he said it because scaling rapidly and the turnaround time was not possible domestically.

> Her hands, small and warm, were on my own right hand, pressing. I shook my head. "Sometimes clients say they have. I always find pleasure in hearing them."

> "Have they been? Really?"

> She shrugged. "I was saying that the Chatelaine Thecla is not the Chatelaine Thecla. Not the Chatelaine Thecla of your mind, which is the only Chatelaine Thecla you care about. Neither am I. What, then, is the difference between us?"

> "None, I suppose."

IANAL and you should spend the $300 or so to get them reviewed.

That said (having used standard forms before) there are usually two terms with respect to shares: the repurchase right for unvested shares and a right of first refusal.

The repurchase right gives your employer the right to repurchase your unvested or unexercised shares after a timeframe (often 90 days) after you leave the company. There was a lot of excitement when companies like Pinterest extended that 90 days to several years, as it's very employee friendly. The amount they pay is usually the value you "purchased" them for, often the grant price (e.g., pennies per share).

The right of first refusal, which I believe you're talking about (given your market value statement) says that for the shares you own (exercised and vested) but have found another buyer for the company has the right to buy them first. The wording is usually very confusing about whether or not they have to match the external offer, but the basic provision makes sense: let the company buy back its equity rather than let some random new investor appear, but pay the (usually former) employee the same amount. Note that as above, there's some time period involved, so you don't get to just say "I found a buyer at $100/share, pay up by tomorrow or else".

Note that while I think you've misunderstood, it's totally possible that you've read your (highly unusual then!) equity contract correctly. Again, take them to a lawyer if you want to be sure rather than listening to some random person on the internet :).
> * Does any one know if this middle class problem is also a thing in Germany?

German here.

At this point, I think it's not yet a problem comparable to the US, but there is rising (perhaps overblown, but certainly not unfounded) fear of a social decline among the middle class.

Remember, the German employment environment (I'm struggling to find a good word) is different from the US. Trades are stronger and more respected, university education is free, social systems offer more protection (but only from outright poverty, not from social decline).

So the pressures are probably not felt a sharply. But there is growing worry.

Nintendo don't pay 8 billion dollars for Apple to hose Super Mario Run.

They paid $99 a year, or maybe $299 a year if they have an enterprise account.

Sure, Apple doubtless made a lot of money from people buying IAP for that game, but as I said, a lot of games and even utility apps don't monetise via IAP or selling the app itself - they rely on advertising, which Apple likely gets $0 from.

But hey, way to completely twist what I said to make a stupid fucking joke.

There is no general labour shortage in germany right now. 2 million foreigners are getting unemployment payments right now, which is ~1.000 Euros per month (housing included). In addition, 7 million german people are out of work.

All in all i guess we have ~10 million people waiting in lines for more work or work at all.

>This is approximately the same speed as SF to Hong Kong, which is quite surprising - I would expect SF to Hong Kong to be much faster than Denver to Chicago, since a larger percentage of the time would be spent travelling over fiber.

Undersea fiber cables have repeaters embedded in them. So even though it's only one hop from an L2 perspective, the light is being decoded, error corrected, and re-transmitted many times along the way to hong kong from SF.
Light takes a millisecond to go 300km in air (it will only travel about 200 km in a fiber in that time), at long distances that time will dominate.

in your haste to be hostile and patronising I think you entirely missed the point.

the dollar amount of money is irrelevant. talk to someone from Zimbabwe..

money is a rhetorical device which describes power. if the spread of wealth or income is relatively flat, the power is mitigated. if it is sufficiently broad as to cause significant inequality, money can be used to enforce poverty.

so, let's say for the sake of argument I am using poverty to mean whatever it means where you live, let's assume the US, and $500k as the buying power of whatever it means where you live. give everyone a half million, give it a few weeks and then tell me how much it costs to get a place to live, or a cup of coffee for that matter..

From context all the numbers are cardinal numbers since we are talking about the size of a set (i.e. the set of different regular polytypes in each dimension). Also from context the infinity here must be countable, so indeed it must be the sequence "1, 1, \aleph _{0}, 5, 6, 3, 3, 3...". You don't need to spell everything out explicitly as long as it is clear from the context.

If we want to get really formal, then what we have is a mapping from the natural numbers into equivalence classes of sets under the bijection equivalence relation.
