I was just researching currencies with fastest transfer time and verified that Ripple works fast and with low fee. Curious if you've taken a look at it for your use case? I bought a small amount recently but am mostly just curious about which of these thousands of coins are actually useful for practical purposes.
Yeah, I noticed a fair bit of jitter when I was playing it.

It's a nice idea but UDP is really the right solution. Games like SubSpace were doing this back in '97 on 200-400ms connections in a seamless manner.

> The Venezuelan government has used food to keep the Socialists in power, critics say. Before recent elections, people living in government housing projects said they were visited by representatives of their local Socialist community councils — the government-aligned groups that organize the delivery of boxes of cheap food — and threatened with being cut off if they did not vote for the government.

It does, however, directly badmouth the Socialists.
Your parent may be recommending tagging such articles with [paywall] or some such as opposed to clicking “flag”. It certainly could be worded better. I’d rather not see titles further cluttered, personally. The source already effectively provides that, and additional context.
Defining “great circle” gets a bit tricky for an ellipsoid. Geodesics don’t meet back up. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/77/Long_geo...

In my opinion, Confucius roots are present in both Korean and Japanese societies but more in Korea since it was popular there and naturally spread out to Japan in the very early days...ironically not as popular in China where it originated from but their decendants are royalty throughout East-Asia.

Shared respect and responsibility comes naturally to minimize shame, a negative social credit. Self-shaming rises out of being mindful of one's actions and words. Also helps if you are a Buddhist country.

The results are remarkable. For instance you can leave keys in your car, pass out from drinking on the streets with wallet bulging with cash and almost no Korean or Japanese person would think of even touching it. Note that this does not mean theft is absent in these countries but I do note that even criminals seem to be regular citizens, blending in as much as possible unlike street gangs you see in North America that advertises it openly.

Confucianism was designed from ground up to bring peace and stability in societies during time of extreme political and military upheaval and Chosun dynasty (Korea's longest ruling political power) embraced it and promoted heavily.

It's not without problems tho. Speaking as Korean.
Another thought- x^2 is differentiable for all x, so its easier to reason about and work with e.g. gradient descent than abs(x)^p for arbitrary p.
That kind of deep learning (MCTS) only works if it can play against itself.

For those curious what practical usage this might have, there is a control technique that uses the position of roots to determine how a system will behave as the feedback gain is changed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_locus

Or basically, how loud can you crank an amplifier before you hear feedback (and how does it behave with different levels of feedback)
Other comments are not the guidelines, the guidelines are the guidelines. Introducing a flamewar topic without anything (new or otherwise) to say about it is mentioned explicitly.
Is it a big surprise that Republicans want to perpetuate a classist system? Anything owned by the public, any portion of it owned by the public, makes it difficult to have the haves and the have nots, and this is an affront. And not literally have not, because it's a utility, so most everyone will still be able to afford to have, but because they will pay a much higher percentage of the disposable income to have access to a basic utility they have have not of something else.

UFO doesn't mean alien spacecraft. It means unidentified flying object. Bigelow might be convinced we're being visited by intelligent beings from elsewhere in the cosmos, but that's just a belief.

UFOs have been filmed and recorded by radars everywhere on earth. Something is going on. That doesn't mean it's ETs visiting us. On the other hand, it's a possibility. We don't know.

Now, does it mean we have to stop everything we're doing to investigate UFOs? Nope. All I'm saying is it's an interesting subject to explore.

It's not meant as a direct rebuttal because the article is so far off it isn't even wrong, due to a lack of context around the town's history, and it completely ignores the schooltime 20mph speed limit posted with big flashing signs and enforced by city police. Those schools were both built years or decades before the city even had its first stoplight, long before the other 90% of safe neighborhood streets even existed. There were only farms on a one-mile grid system in most of the city.

Then over time developers built neighborhoods and the population exploded, so as the population grew the roads had to be expanded. Traffic planners had to move people somewhere, and they compensated for the wide streets with 20mph school speed limits, volunteer crossing guards, extensive education of children and drivers, and regular active enforcement of the school speed.

So the article comes across as clueless, seemingly almost deliberately so to exploit a tragedy.
For the record, there was a speculative bubble around tulips that crashed suddenly and sharply. From the article:

merchants really did engage in a frantic tulip trade, and they paid incredibly high prices for some bulbs. And when a number of buyers announced they couldn’t pay the high price previously agreed upon, the market did fall apart and cause a small crisis

The article is more about how many of the anecdotal and narrative myths around it that weren't true.

A bank's purpose is to manage credit risk. If a bank's management can't make money on the spread between the Fed lending rate and the mortgage lending rate, they should get out of the business. I don't know whether the top echelon of circa-2007 bank management should be in prison or not, but I do know they ought to be working as baristas or something rather than continuing to run businesses they aren't competent to manage.

Mill responds that the suppression of false ideas is wrong, nevertheless:

"If the opinion is right, they [the human race] are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error."
Not sure what you're saying? The article is about "central tendency" or "location" statistics (ie "first moment"), and how 3 common ones pop out of minimising different distances (L0, L1, L2).

It doesn't even mention variance (second central moment), let alone skew or kurtosis?
Since socialism is so successful, maybe they should nationalize food production and distribution too? It's gotta be better than using a capitalistic market economy for that, right?
This is the key problem. The manufacturer might even consider the poor security as a feature (for them)
I think missing the point it's a UN report is rather tragic. This is not a criticism of conservatism. It's a statement of facts.
The Hamming distance is sometimes called "L0" in parallel to L_1, L_2, L_p etc., in some abuse of notation.
That’s cool with me. I’d rather have fees more closely associated with the thing I’m buying. I don’t like being charged extra for taxis because landing fees are lower.

I agree that facebook is terrible and I think I'm one of the rare individuals who never created a facebook account. But I find it so odd that someone would find facebook as terrible but praise the wsj. WSJ is easily far more toxic than facebook. I've noticed that every thread about social media, the top comments always attack social media and praise traditional media. It's strange how much the sentiment on HN shifted all of a sudden.
Non-native German speakers can probably translate it with services such as Google Translate.

The German Wikipedia entry for Waldkindergarten [1] says its originally from Scandinavia btw:

"Der Waldkindergarten oder Naturkindergarten ist eine Form des Kindergartens, die aus Skandinavien stammt. Im Waldkindergarten erfahren Kinder im Alter zwischen drei und sechs Jahren (teilweise bereits unter drei Jahren) Erziehung, Bildung und Betreuung. Die meisten Aktivitäten finden außerhalb fester Gebäude statt, meistens im Wald."

All systems have corruption. However, when the government nationalizes food distribution and production, that corruption has a much larger impact.
As as self-taught engineer who's now working for one of the big 4(or is it 5 now?) let me suggest a couple things:

1. Side-projects are your route into the industry. You're looking for a company that's willing to take a risk on a non-traditional candidate and showing that you can deliver something is huge. Find a problem that you enjoy and solve it to a high level of quality. A lot of software engineering is being able to put in the effort to actually get something to a shippable quality.

2. If you're near a metro area, network. There's tons of meet-ups for various technologies, find one that interests you and attend. Your biggest barrier to getting through HR is the lack of a degree, having a direct connection to someone gives you a very good chance to bypass it.
i'm self-taught, ph.d. dropout in math. i work for a unicorn in silicon valley; i've done full-stack development and lately devops and cloud infrastructure. learn enough python/java to go through the entirety of http://nand2tetris.org/; this will help you understand basic computer architecture. from there, you can pick and choose from among the courses in https://teachyourselfcs.com, but i'd recommend taking at least computer networking and operating systems. ds&a is good and a prerequisite for interviewing at most companies.

it would help to do this in parallel with some form of employment, as working will teach you practical software engineering skills that you'll never get from reading books. but you'll be more time-constrained, so you'll have to have really good time-management skills.

also, being around good engineers is a form of education. good co-workers can help expose gaps in your knowledge and skills, which you should strive to amend.
This is clearly a reductio ad absurdum, but mainline (indebted, null- or negative pro-capita economic growth) European countries will never slash the corporate tax rate down much further because they cannot afford it. Neoliberal rhetoric aside (keep in mind I'm a pretty orthodox and conservative macro-economist of the monetarist bent) trickle-down economics is clearly inaccurate and the fiscal multiplier is apparently greater than one. There's plenty of distortion in the tax systems of these states already (speaking of my native Italy, far too much bias on taxing income of firms and physical people as opposed to taxing consumption, because the latter is difficult to track because of the sizeable shadow economy, whereas the formers are supposedly easier to asses and monetise), the last thing they want is to suddenly end up relying on untested revenue streams. It's just too radical. Indeed there's a way of seeing this in terms of member states acting as a kind of fiscal cartel, and a couple of the states acting as the perennial defectors of Prisoner's Dilemma fame (cue Luxembourg and a couple others that shall go similarly unnamed). Really, the presence of these fiscal regimes within the EU community is a disgrace. On the other hand, keep in mind that Luxembourg is actually acting in an institutionally legitimate manner, presenting a case to the relevant EU authority instead of strutting its stuff unilaterally. They are going out there and testing the case, and there's a high probability that they will lose and set a strong precedent in their disfavour.

It's also pretty and easy to minimise, as the derivative of the square is just linear.
The ^2 gives the normal distribution, which is special for many reasons.

With ^1 you get the Laplace distribution. This is widely used when the data is sparse (has many elements exactly 0). This is less sensitive to ourliers and in image reconstruction it gives sharper images than ^2.

I was there too. Ask Korean store owners what the riot was about.
And the women who think this way, too?

A male friend-of-a-friend was raped by a woman, when he was in his late teens (he was older than the age of consent) more than 20 years ago. He went to the police station to complain. Walked in, said to the officer behind the desk that he wanted to make a complaint, he'd been raped by a woman.

The cop held his hand up for a high five, and said "Score!"

He reiterated that he wanted to lay a complaint, and the cop seemed surprised that he would want to. Eventually, after trying a few more times the complainant just left without having his complaint taken.

Rape doesn't just involve physical force, it can also be just pressuring the unwilling into sex, or coercing them into a sexual situation they're unwilling to be in - for example, outdoors, anal or period sex. You can see how easily a female could apply emotional pressure to get what she wants when the male is unwilling. Have you ever heard a woman accuse a male of being homosexual simply because he didn't want to do something she did?

I have.
Start doing it.

Pick a project. Don't spend time agonizing over what sort of project it should be, you'll find out if you like it or not once you've started doing it, and if you picked the wrong project or language you'll better internalize the reasons why by actually ramming your head against those things yourself.

I'm going to disagree with the majority here and say don't pick a small and manageable project. Pick a project that inspires you. As long as you can maintain the motivation and actually put fingers to keyboard over and over again, that's all that really matters because even when you fail you'll learn. More importantly, you'll be forced to realize how large projects must be broken down into smaller projects and tackled piece by piece, and you'll gain a much deeper appreciation for the sheer amount of work the things you want to do really take. If you're anything like me, you're going to fail your first project, and your second, and many after that, but you will learn something invaluable every time.

Consume the opinions of programmers voraciously. Not just one programmer, read as many conflicting opinions and ways of tackling problems as possible. Read HN. Read stackoverflow. Read github comments. Programmers are deeply passionate about various aspects of programming, and understanding why is an important part of growing as a programmer.

Realize that everything you could possibly seek to understand is publicly available on the internet, if you know where to look and who to ask. Everything.

I have more opinions on this, but since it seems we all do I think I'll cut my advice short there :P.

I know some of the people hired by Volvo cars to work on this, and I am not aware of them recruiting top ML researchers to work on this and I suspect they are just not good enough people there.

You've named the problem though I don't think you can see it yourself.

No matter where you are on a continuum of socialist and capitalist policies, a fascist dictator will always lead to abuses of power. Strong democratic principles do their best to mitigate and limit that, with varying degrees of success.

Venezuela did not have a strong democratic system. Military force was used to coerce elections, the democratic process to remove Maduro was initiated, completed successfully, and ignored entirely.

The lesson here is that this can happen to any country when our democratic systems are weakened. I'd argue that the United States has been on a glacial path to this for quite some time.

I didn't evaluate the quality of the paper. I only evaluated whether it's intentionally indecipherable.

I did glance through some more of the paper, though I did not read it carefully.

I didn't find anything that tripped any of my criteria, mentioned beforehand, for whether it's an intentionally indecipherable paper: did you see anything like that?

Please note that this is not an endorsement of the paper.
Not sure how that could happen without going through high school math, but I suppose anything is possible.
