I have to ask: Why? You just described amazon's Vine Voice program, where the score of the review is decoupled completely from whether the reviewer gets more free stuff - there's no incentive to post bogus reviews.

Further, having been on the receiving end of a couple of these solicitations myself, they usually took the form of "Hey, we noticed you bought $thing. We'll send you another $thing (or something similar) if you write us a review, good or bad"

Neither of these situations seems sketchy to me, inasmuch as I can't see how someone getting a product for review purposes is likely to taint their review.

It's not just shareholders, there's a lot of people whose jobs depend on Bitcoin/Tesla/UBI/Cloud failing. And I think it's fine that they keep it, it doesn't really hurt anyone.

But how do you get into theaters who don't want to upset, after all, the guys with the blockbusters?
Another important distinction is that they made an assurance to the Soviet Union, not Russia.

Very true about Facebook especially and you only have to look at the last U.S. presidential election to see how it can have dramatic effects on people's perspectives and expectations.

This is the biggest problem I have. Disney already has plenty of money to lobby Congress, taking over another studio won’t change that - but we’ll be consolidating more and more IP’s that we love under a behemoth that can go wrong in so many ways.
You make it sound like having a single proprietary browser as the standard for browsing the web is a minor concern. Can you imagine if nowadays anybody who's not using IE/Edge was a 2nd class citizen on the web, not able to access most content? Remember the days of flash? For one thing it would've hurt massively the development of non-MS smartphones.

Nowadays Chrome seems to be the new IE but at least they're a bit more open overall. I have absolutely no doubt that MS would've turn the web into their proprietary playground if given the chance.
Why do you think Dubai is a popular destination now?
You're spot on with vectorisation. It needs to be emphasized in academia. Take numpy/pandas, even for basic stuff the efficiency difference vs a for loop is vast:

def product_sum(a, b):
total = 0
for a, b in zip(a, b):
total += a * b
return total
%timeit product_sum(million_a, million_b)
215 ms ± 3.01 ms per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)
%timeit (million_a * million_b).sum()
6.01 ms ± 254 µs per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100 loops each)
For reference, 1TB NVMe SSDs retail for $600+ and 2TB NVMe SSDs retail for $1700+. Lower-priced 2TB NVMe SSDs will probably come out soon, driving the cost down hard.
Disney buys much of Fox in megamerger that will shake world of entertainment
> U.S. authorities provide concrete suggestions for improvement

I don't think improvement is quite the right word.
For comparison, 1TB NVMe SSD is $450 on Amazon, rated at 3,200 MB/s reads and 1,900 MB/s writes.

There are cheaper ones, at $290, rated at around ~$530MB/s reads and writes.

I doubt that many professionals will experience much difference between these in most applications, as most are now CPU-bound.
Oh, I didn't say the textbook was -my- textbook. From the library or from a friend, getting the relevant bits we needed was super common, because the textbooks were infrequently referenced and super expensive for many classes.

But, to the OP's point, I totally agree digital changes the equation. But it should also change the law. Theoretically having an img tag that references someone else's site could be thought of as illegal, after all. I'm reproducing the work without authorization, and even making money from it (ad impressions on my site rather than the hosting site), -while costing the original site money- (since they still pay the hosting and bandwidth costs). Digital changed -everything-, because the cost to copy went to 0. The laws have not kept up.

Hard for me to find, but the instructions for building are, https://tinytitan.github.io/downloads/TinyTitanBuildGuide.pd...
This echos some recent experience I had recently when working with running complex simulations.

I'm building out backtesting for an automated cryptocurrency trading platform (in rails) and have never had to work with so much data/math.

In general, I generate various calculations for each interval/pair, then "signals" on top of that, and then compare if a given interval is a match - 3 iterations all in all to execute a backtesting strategy.

First, I did it all in ruby. It took days to generate all the calculations for just one pair/interval, let alone other intervals or pairs. Even with the work split up over multiple VM's on digital ocean.

So, I moved as much of the calculations into nested CTE's in postgres, and got the calculations and signal generation down to 10s - a huge speed boost!

But then I wanted to analyze multiple intervals/pairs at the same time against a given strategy, which took a long while to run. Not days, but maybe half an hour. The improvements i made there was to make a tradeoff - limit the amount of calculations to a range instead of all of it (if i wanted it to run fast) and to cache interval/pair/strategies that had already ran - so adding new ones (such as another pair, or set of intervals) would only re-run the "new" options.

So that worked - until I wanted to analyze multiple strategies against multiple intervals/pairs. This is where things start getting into the potential supercomputer scale, because there are something like 2 billion+ possible strategy combinations that could be tried - probably more once you factor in tweaking underlying indicator settings. And then that times as many interval/pair combinations one selected. But since I don't have a super computer, I had to get creative/selective.

I did make some improvement here - cached all the calculations and signals separately from the results so a strategy variance would not need to re-run calculations needlessly, as well as by limiting the simulations to run to answer simpler combinations - instead of which indicator combination works best overall to identify which indicator, when paired with a pre-specified one, works best. And then once you have that, you can re-run with those two indicators to further test an idea. Not the same thing and potentially an approach that disregards strategies where a combination of poor indicators win over when used together - but that's the sort of sacrifice one must make when you don't have a supercomputer lying around.

TLDR: SQL is good at crunching numbers so move what you can there, reading a cache is usually faster than regenerating it so use those where possible, and be selective with your modeling parameters to reduce runtimes and iterations needed for a result.
If you going to build the same exact spec it's not that far off from the actual BOM for the parts, in fact going for the exact same build will cost you more that that what Apple is charging.

So Vega Pro 64 (Vega FE equivalent) 8 core Xeon-W build from Apple is $5599

If you would build the same PC it would be:

~$1200 for the CPU (Xeon W-2145, not available to the public yet)

~$400 for 32GB ECC 2666mhz RAM from a good vendor

~$500 for a Xeon-W workstation motherboard

~$480 for 1 TB PCIE SSD like the Samsung 960 Pro

~$1000 for VEGA Frontier Edition

~$250 for a good case

~$220 for a good power supply

~$120 for CLC water cooling for the CPU

~$100 for case fans

~$1300 for a professional 4K monitor

This comes out to the total of ~$6870

Sure you can build an almost comparable PC from other parts at a fraction of the price but if you want to replicate the build in the iMac it will cost you much more.

Also AFAIK you can connect a second screen the TB ports do support Thunderbolt displays and DisplayPort.

Calling attention to Neil Postman’s __Amusing Ourselves to Death__ is the usual rejoinder to a statement like this. But, Daniel J. Boorstin’s __The Image__[1][2], published in 1962, just about perfectly presages the outcomes of 2016 – 2017 vis-à-vis social media; I cannot commend it enough.

(N.B television (especially with news shows) is also both a form of, and antecedent to what we call social media.)

An AI which excels in imperfect information games (card games, Starcraft) would be a real breakthrough. Raw calculation power is bound to win games with a finite set of possibilities. The huge leap would be the ability to handle probabilites: taking guesses, making assumptions and coming into some kind of successful conclusions based on those.
I'd also suggest "the innovators", Walter Isaacson, on top of those.

Is that official? Disney has bet (and lost) a lot of money on sports broadcast over the past few years. I could see them trying to consolidate at least Fox sports into their current bet on sports.

Most people starting college are 17-20 year old young adults with income and assets far below what would be needed to take out $30K-$100K+ in loans.

Not enough lenders would want to take that risk, unless they have the taxpayer to back them up in case the borrower defaults.

If the borrower's allowed to wipe their debt in bankruptcy, then a lot of students will simply declare bankruptcy as soon as they leave school. The students who play by the rules are burdened with debt, and you're subsidizing people who game the system to their advantage.

The fairest thing to do, then, is either subsidize everybody, and have taxpayer-funded higher education (but that's expensive).

Or subsidize nobody, and let people pay their own way (but that leaves behind students whose families can't afford it).

Or fund the most promising students, and make everybody else pay (but that leaves behind students who don't have good academic record).

Personally I don't like the idea that our society starts its newest members out with a huge debt burden.
Copyright is essentially a restriction on speech. You can't represent any figure or image bearing even a slight resemblance to Mickey Mouse unless The Walt Disney Co. approves of said representation.

It may not be directly life and death, but the negative ramifications of excessive copyright monopolies run deep, on both the culture and the market. The only people it's good for are the entrenched interests who are trying to milk the same good idea from 90 years ago, and want as much money as possible to crush upstart competitive threats, regardless of the value that the market ascribes to those competitors.

In tech alone copyright has killed a non-trivial number of good companies. One could argue that the internet is fundamentally anti-copyright, as in the words of Bruce Schneier, "trying to make digital bits non-copiable is like trying to make water not wet". The internet is based on rapid, exact duplication of information and its instantaneous worldwide transmission.

Copyright law as written has already been repeatedly and grievously misapplied to weaponize this detail of computer networks against People Who Can't Afford To Pay Munger Tolles & Olson One Thousand Dollars An Hour to Harass Competitors. Remember, these laws fundamentally benefit the large players who have the literal millions of dollars in spare cash resources to pick these fights, at the expense of those who don't.

It's ironic that we all act like net neutrality is the front lines for the fight for internet freedom, when it's really copyright and network access laws like the CFAA. Could this have anything to do with powerful VCs and popular media interests (yes, including online outlets like Google and Facebook) leaning heavily on outlandish copyright enforcement for their own competitive edge?

I still like that article "facebook is the junkfood of relationships". Such an apt metaphor.
The difference with TV is that you're time-gated by the station. If your favourite show isn't on for another 30mins, you have to sit and wait. And you can't skip through content to get to the juicy bits.

Facebook is intense. I catch myself getting caught in the feedback loops all the time now, it's very potent. It's different than video games, because those are time-gated too (loading times, takes time to find a multiplayer match, takes time to build your base or whatever). But with facebook, you can keep scrolling and scrolling. And you can quickly skip parts of videos that are uninteresting.
That was his point...

Or to paraphrase, "Puerto Rico pays average of $600 bonus to government workers (who make $20-40K) as required by law."

"This year the payments will total $113 million, the government told Bloomberg News. Some 250,000 people get bonuses, with current workers averaging $600 bonus and retirees getting about $200, Bloomberg reported.

For the majority of government employees who make between $20,000 and $40,000 it’s an important boost, said Carlos Mercader, who leads Puerto Rico’s office in Washington, D.C. He said the governor, in making the payments, is following the law.

And he said members of Congress who are pondering the territory’s massive relief request should be aware of how much the governor has already done to control the budget, such as a 20 percent reduction in political appointees in the government and a 15 percent cut in the operating budget.

“I would challenge whoever argues that the government hasn’t been austere in this whole process. The government has been saving money from the get-go,” Mr. Mercader said."

Oh my god yes. I grew up in a mixed race household in Michigan (still happy in my little corner here), but the absurdity of how non-white people are treated in the more rural areas of the state, and even the more conservative urban areas, is just shameful.

That's not to say you can't find good places in the Midwest, you just have to shop around to find an educated cosmopolitan community. But the racism here is out of hand and I don't think white people are generally attuned to just how bad it is.

I don't do inline Sql. I use Linq and Moq out the EFContext with List<T>

https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn314429(v=vs.113)....

It's faster, in memory and multiple people can test simultaneously without contention issues. I've done the whole wrap sql tests in a transaction thing, it was slow and wrought with database locks.

The added advantage is that if you do it right. You not only can switch between different RDMSs you can switch to anything that has a Linq provider. I have a mix of SQL Server and Mongo and the clients don't know the difference they just pass in Expression like (e => e.Id && e.salary > 50000) and it gets translated at runtime to either MongoQuery or Sql. I've switch between the two and they never knew the difference - just update a nuget package.

AFAIK they moved to the customized version of CryEngine (Amazon's Lumberyard) beginning of this year due to engine limits. They even hired some ex-CryEngine-devs to get things going but in the end they (supposedly) had no other choice but to switch. So theoretically they haven't been using CryEngine at all since an entire year.
Then there should be provisions in the copyright law to allow the govt to suspend copyright when entertainment becomes part of the culture, similar to how some patent protections are suspended in India when a medicine is determined to be essential
Who in Professional Video Editing world should trust Apple in regards to Hardware anymore? More and more video production is moving back to Windows and for good reason, hardware and Apple's handling of Final Cut Pro X years ago still scares everyone.

In graphic design I see this as a good solution for those shops, but video really has been leaving Apple.

After their meeting to set the record straight in April 2017 about Professional Hardware and Apple support for the industry with Phil Schiller, Craig Federighi they give people this?

OK, so you agree that stereotypes are largely accurate and largely beneficial. Good, glad we cleared that up (it wasn't clear from your previous posts).

You still haven't at all expanded how you got from a stereotype about the Romani, which others in the thread have noted is quite useful, to slavery. Do you think slavery was the result of inaccurate stereotypes and implicit bias?

I think you would find it very hard to reconcile that hypothesis with the actual history of slavery.
