It's funny you say this because back before I got into bitcoin I used to see the entire finance/banking industry this way. Now that I'm a bitcoin user/developer, I think this technology will make the finance industry diminish to the levels of where other industries are, because it's basically removing the middle men. It's actually doing the opposite of what you think is doing.
This paper packs an enormous idea into a tiny package. It's worth reading - and re-reading.

If you've studied electronic cash systems and/or cryptographic systems before, the paper is quite easy to read. Otherwise it's a challenge. At least that's what I found.

Here's a companion article that fills in some of the blanks.

If you remember the film critic Roger Ebert, he had cancer in his jaw in 2002. They had to remove his jaw. He was unable to speak intelligibly after that until his death in 2013. He wrote articles right until the end.

If he had access to this, he could have released video reviews, which could have drawn a much larger audience.
You can mostly combine 3 & 4 on that list. Racket (formerly PLT Scheme) has moved beyond Scheme in many ways (language features, batteries), but is still exceptionally similar.
Which api method exposes that information?
I would add that you should choose a lab with lots of funding.

Big labs might mean you don't spend much time with your on-paper supervisors, but you will get access to post-docs who can mentor you better than any professor who doesn't step into a lab. Big labs with funding also have lots of machines which can help you churn out data. Churning out data is very very important!

Source: I failed my PhD partly because there was no one to mentor me, and no resources to produce results. As a PhD student, you don't know what you are doing and you need those resources so you don't waste your time.
If the same face is in two consecutive frames, do you pass it into the classifier twice?
It's funny that I've been downvoted for this comment, given that I've made a living writing Common Lisp for most of my career (including working with the presenter in this video at one of the companies he describes). Of course Python is nowhere close to CL. (If anything, Javascript is closer because it has first-class closures.) But I've found that if you tell people the whole truth up front -- rather than letting them discover it for themselves -- it comes off as condescending.
This title is ludicrous clickbait and it violates the guidelines. Could you please give them a re-read?

If anything, Flappy Bird has transcended "fad" and is as much a part of the cultural "game consciousness" as Super Mario. Who doesn't know Flappy Bird is? And who even remembers all those Flash helicopter games that came before it?
Now it will get much easier to fabricate statements and much easier for someone to deny something they actually said (by claiming it was fabricated).

This is a Photoshop of voices and as such it is neither more or less dangerous.

We desperately need better ways to detect BS built into browsers, social networks etc.
Exactly. Mic Recorder app was ruined as well during that era. It was pretty obvious what future Apple held for us.

What you said makes sense.

> And you underestimate that you still can't give someone an award who does not exist to receive it.

Which is what baffles me. I thought we should be honouring ideas and the people who created/discovered them (whether or not they exist to receive the award). It's weird that people get more precedence over ideas. What's worse is that the prize isn't awarded posthumously as well!

Yes, cryptocurrency prices will stabilize when they displace all fiat currencies ;) Because, until they do, they'll be too damn attractive for speculative investors to resist. That was part of the original plan, as I recall from discussion in various cryptoanarchist forums.

I suspect that Obama is quickly becoming the Lenna [1] of synthesized speech. I seem to remember him being used in examples years ago, in addition to the Radiolab episode which uses him as a test case as well.

Not a fan of the ObamaNet naming either - really seems to miss the mark.

Shinichi Mochizuki developed a new theory (IUT) which eventually yielded a proof to the abc conjecture. I believe he largely developed it in isolation and thus when it was published it took years to bring the rest of the community up to speed. Not sure if he doesn’t read other’s papers but maybe this is what’s you were thinking about?

If there actually was an example where that measure of ceremony was involved and was worthwhile, I'm too dumb too have understood it.
They lowered the prices because they needed to sell a certain number for compliance reasons, so it was a better deal to sell them at a loss:

Nissan says that lands the Leaf in a sweet spot between so-called compliance EVs—low-cost electrics with relatively limited range that manufacturers produce to meet certain regulations—and Chevrolet’s Bolt EV and Tesla’s Model 3, both of which offer greater than 200 miles of range but at a higher cost.

Gold and silver were a decentralized store of value from about 600BC till 1935AD, so ~2500 years. FDR and Congress made owning gold illegal in 1934 and then the dollar went off the gold standard in 1971. Previous fiat currencies have usually not lasted more that a few generations before they blow up. Now is about the right time for that to happen.

Reading history is fun and can help one understand the present. I'd highly recommend it. "Debt: The first 5000 years" is a great book and a good start at trying to understand what money is/has been.
If you follow the money, Bitcoin does not replace fiat. If I bought $100USD of BTC on coinbase, that $100USD goes to someone else who sold me their BTC. It's still fiat. I'm not confident the governments really mind in that respect because the money is still here.

Where that money goes in the end? Some goes to speculators, and the rest goes to lots of ASICS, graphics cards, electricty bills and food for miners. But none of it is every actually really stored in Bitcoin.
Brin and Page themselves tried to sell Google to excite.com for less than $1MM in 1997. Luckily for them they got turned down. Hal Finney stopped mining coins after it started overheating his PC too often. Would he have done this if he believed each 50 coin block would someday be worth over half a million bucks? I think that would justify buying a second desktop or perhaps a better cooling fan.

Nobody knows what the future fortunes of any venture will be, anyone who claims to have known the future success of Bitcoin all along is lying, or they would have sold their blood and worldly possessions to snag as many coins as humanly possible in anticipation.
oh noes, not that guy again! this was written over 4 years ago before i became a professor, so YMMV :) i haven't looked at this for years; this is a more updated (and complementary) take on some of these issues, how that I've advised ~25 research students so far:

"Ambiguous" and "insane" are best friends.
My parents never let me have video games growing up because they thought it would be a waste of time. They let me get a gameboy for some reason though, I guess cause they couldn't imagine someone wanting to stare at a 2x2 black and white screen for any length of time. Even when my friends got n64s, we spent most time playing Pokémon or Zelda on game boy, because the games were just so good

I recently downloaded roller coaster tycoon for my gf, as we both used to play it when we were younger. She doesn't really play games, but during our 4th date at an amusement park we found out we both played it as children. That game was written in assembly by one person

Not really a point here, other than that nostalgia and craftsmanship can be far more powerful than the latest hardware or software
My admittedly very limited understanding of memory is that you are right: we each have a base level of memory which we can't improve upon.

There are factors that influence your memory, such as stress and anxiety, injury, distraction, fatigue, and so forth. Those that we can reduce, such as anxiety, will allow your memory to return closer to your baseline. Techniques we use, such as association (anybody else remember "1 lamp post, 2 light switch, 3 stool?") aren't actually improvements to your abilities, because if you had poor ability to recall you would have trouble recalling the initial subject for association.

Verbalizing the information is one technique that I've found is extremely effective. "The red car just drove by me. He didn't indicate when he changed lanes." I used to read my notes out loud, and record them to tape so I could listen to them when I was on the bus, but now I just go to a private space and read the entire text I'm studying out loud. It does get rather difficult with abstractions such as paintings, particularly because I'm unable to form mental pictures, but there are ways I can work within those limitations. Occasionally, people do tend to take the mindset of "Didn't you learn to read without moving your lips?"

Another technique I use is progressive summarizing, which takes quite a while. I would write out sheet after sheet of my notes until I could get it down to a single word or point per topic, and then expand back from that to basically the initial page of my notes again. (This particular technique simply makes use of my wrote learning skills.) It's only really useful for exams where understanding isn't tested.
Turns out the masses have been getting duped for millennia it's so trivial. So the bar is pretty low already.

Amazon practices have become more and more shady and fraud riddled. Just today I found out I was charged for Amazon Cloud Drive that I never authorized for 2 years and they only reversed the charge for the most recent year. I never agreed nor made any consent to signing up to the enlarged storage service. I was never notified my subscription was renewed nor was I aware I was charged through any email.

They absolutely refused to refund me for a purchase I never authorized! How corrupted is that?
If you're casting a broad net, speak to the moderators on https://www.reddit.com/r/msp/ - they have a steady supply of early-stage managed service providers asking for msp-aware business logic and money handling.
This sort of thing really makes me feel like the field of "authentication" is about to become much broader and extremely important.

i have been writing a gameboy emulator for the last year (with short bursts of work where i implement some module), and it's been very challanging and fun, i recommend everyone to try it.

it has a very simple 8-bit (risc) architecture, but obviously tailored for games (for example, it has a dedicated sprite memory sector). i recommend people to try it out because it is has fun quirks compared with "regular" architectures, like arm and x86, for example in the way it handles cartridges, or in that some cartridges actually had non-trivial logic inside them and weren't just a rom.

it always amazes me how active gameboy research and development is still today, for example there's a very recent gameboy emulator / research project done in rust https://github.com/Gekkio/mooneye-gb

there are even test roms with which you can test your emulator to see if it implements all opcodes, interrupts and whatnot correctly (where correctly not only means "with respect to the effects" but also with respect to how many cycles everything should take). example of these test roms: http://gbdev.gg8.se/files/roms/blargg-gb-tests/

also for example this disasm of pokemon red: https://github.com/pret/pokered

if you want to write an emulator or a game and you have basic computer organization knowledge, i'd start with the famous pandocs.
Lyrebird's website leaves me with no confidence whatsoever that they understand the ethical implications of the technology they're developing or that they are working to develop their technology in such a way as to address those concerns.

I hope every company that's working on this stuff either fails, financially or technologically, or ideally gets regulated out of existence, at least until they commit to working on technology, policy and journalistic techniques to mitigate the absolutely inevitable misuse, because as a society we simply are not ready for this. If you work for one of these groups, you should either ensure they're working on said mitigations, or quit.
I don't, as I'm removed from RN development, and I do agree that there is still a delta between platforms. But my point was that a tool like RN could allow a shift to a different platform on a whim, because it is, at its core, an abstraction layer.
Markets are ~10,000+ years older than libertarians. Some early examples had people swapping from banditry to trade depending on how well armed the people they encountered where. No outside forces nessisarily, but no rule of law either.
Shortly before MP3 players made the whole concept silky, Starbucks had some sort of pilot going with HP to let people burn custom discs at some sort of kiosk in Starbucks stores. So they’ve long been playing around with music-related stuff.
In that case I assume you never brought a computer from 2000-2010, when you could wait a year or so to get twice the computation for the same price?

For that matter, would you even buy beer now, when you could instead invest the money risk-free in US govt. bonds so you could buy more beer in future?
From the very link you posted, "Because futures contracts offer assurance of future prices and availability of goods, they provide stability in an unstable business environment."
I agree on all your points about web apps vs native apps. I should clarify, native apps are fine, but the requirement for native apps due to poor performance of web apps is horrible. At least give me PWAs.
I think his point was that democracy is the responsibility of the people being governed, so if you don't like it then it becomes your responsibility to do something about it. (Although I could be mis-interpreting.)

Yep, we have LOTS of servers :) We pretty heavily cache pages too.

Headless Chrome is great and we're super thankful that the Chromium team put the work in! PhantomJS is good... it just doesn't have all of the latest features, like ES6. So it was really helpful that headless Chrome came along right as people started using more ES6.

Yeah, Chrome did break the opening of view-source URLs a while back for our https://prerender.io/ buttons on the bottom of the homepage.
You're the type of user I learned to avoid once I started shipping software.

You think in a major internal overhaul that the old interface is just a matter of building a quick "[ ] Old, [X] New" radio button dialog.

And then you make a major, disproportional stink like how you've written 20 comments in this submission. Zero awareness through and through, and it's just not worth engaging with you beyond saying "well, I don't think the product is for you." -- A conclusion you seem uninterested in figuring out yourself.

I don't think you have the slightest clue about how hard it is to just keep old crap around when you're trying to evolve software. Else you'd know that either (A) it's not worth it or (B) the ship is simply sailing in a direction that you don't care about, so there's no point whining on the internet.

At some point you need to leave the movie theater so that others can enjoy the show. Leaving 20 comments in this submission just shows that it's an emotional thing for you. Time to move on. It's just a web browser.
Is that not what Google is doing with fuschia?
Addendum to 'be pro-active':
You'll quickly realise that your supervisor doesn't know what's going on in the entire field, nobody does. Be pro-active in seeking out new developments and new papers that touch on your field. Set up Google Scholar alerts, set up PubMed alerts, and send those papers to your supervisor, they'll appreciate it, you'll know what's going on, and you'll look good to your supervisor.
But: be careful not to spend too much time on this.
"Do the right thing", in this context, goes beyond just the presence or absence of typechecking.

But regarding type checking, Lisp (at least Common Lisp) is strongly typed. Really, very strongly typed (for example it will complain about putting a "byte" in a "character" array; or of using an "array" when a "simple-vector" was expected... Lisp is very nitpicky regarding types!), but the type checks happens mostly at runtime. Some checking also happens at compile time, even more if you intentionally include type declarations. (Type declarations are part of the ANSI Common Lisp standard.)
We'll keep working on improving Prerender.io and we'll continue serving our customers exactly as we are now. So no pivot for Prerender.io.

Prerender.com is sort of a pivot, but more like just opening up our infrastructure to other crawlers that would like to execute javascript too. So we're expanding our offerings :)
Which song was it?
This is true why? And the answer "because chemicals and laboratories" isn't an answer.

I'm actually curious about the mindset that automatically assumes non traditional agriculture is going to make me grow a third arm. Are salmonella, botulism, mad cow or trichinosis the result of "Frankenfood"?

Now if they run it through actual tests that show it has problems, I'll skip it just like any sane person. On the other hand, if proven safe, I am all for a way of providing meat that doesn't need herds of animals, acres of land, grain to feed them, land to grow the grain, water for all of the above, and tons of crude oil to ship it cross-country. Give me a little lab in the suburbs any day.
Agreed. Using IP for things you present to the user is strange and presumptuous. But the geolocation API is kind of “creepy” I image for the user. At least that’s always how it feels to me.
