If there are, do they supply high quality shoes? Standing for so long in bad shoes might result in pain, too. I'm a bit of a pessimist in that regard so I could see an employer doing this to save money. A good office chair ranges from $600 to $2000 but you can also can go as high as you want.
That is a good point. I just enjoyed Dijkstra's writing style (clear, opinionated, and concise). He has great skill as an author. I think there's great value in reading his writing just to get exposure to his level of technical communication. Also, it'll make you want to work on your penmanship.

That's another point for Knuth, as well. There are many great thinkers, and there are many great communicators. It is wonderful to find the intersection between the two and within CS and math (more CS) the two of them are fantastic examples of that combination.
>" Why is it that Japan, Hong Kong and most developed European cities have much better rail transportation?

Japan is an interesting comparison because the lines are private and independently owned and so there's competition[1]. Once upon a time the NYC train line were private and independently owned they were the BMT, IRT and the IND[2]. You still vestiges of this in some stations. At any rate it was thought that that having privately owned train lines might allow them to hold the city hostage and so they were bought by the city. Obviously there's a great irony in that now.

If you have good maths skills you shouldn't be too worried. In any case, most peoples' first contributions -in any field- are rarely entirely their own. Look around for papers where the supervisor is the last author in a paper- like the Hochreiter & Schmidhuber paper you linked above. That's a clear sign of a more experienced researcher lending a hand to a younger researcher. And that's the supervisor-supervisee relation in a nutshell, really.

More links. Oh dear :)
I don't see people saying many good things about Blink, why would they do that? However, Amazon is hiring like crazy for video and audio web people, so maybe a trick up their sleeve they have.
Its not 2 seconds. With the time command, you have to look at the elapsed time. Clojure does parallel execution, that's why you see CPU at 198%. So the user and sys time are the sum of the time on each cores.

So the actual time was 0.839s.

Which means Clojure 1.9 on your computer boots and shutdowns its repl in under a second.
So Amazon wants to monitor people in and around their own homes for some reason. Creepy.

Maybe it's so that they can detect whether or not people are at home - To aid with their drone delivery system?

So, interesting workaround for Netflix:
If the language of your account is set to something other than English, it unlocks subtitles and dubs for that language that you wouldn't normally have access to.

My wife and kids have their Netflix UI set to Japanese, which allows them to access Japanese language and subtitles for movies that support it, even though they're not available on my English-language Netflix.

Could be most did in terms of not having their coins in an exchange, but their coins, wherever they are, just lost value for everyone looking to spend a bit of their money today. Off-exchange storage prevents against exchange-based theft, but not overall loss of value. If that loss of value stems from fraud on a single exchange it still impacts the libertarian crowd.
Secret of success: buy low, sell high.

Unless you are a Coinbase customer (because they will selective disable your ability to act when prices move quickly). I've witnessed it at least a dozen time personally, and stopped trading altogether.

Seriously though, the way Coinbase/GDAX has been acting recently can't be attributed to scalability issues. These patterns seem to have a good dose of human decision making in them.
Man, that site makes me really happy Snapchat resisted buyouts. Despite the rough patches it's been through (and still going through, I guess) it should be looked at as an example of how new companies can grow and compete without just selling off to a large conglomerate.

It is somewhat amusing that the cocaine in the stock photo costs 0.13BTC at a price of $27. I know people who have bought weed for the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of dollars in today's bitcoin (even post crash).

The comment about eBay is interesting - that negative feedback is scarce because people don't bother if they're unhappy. I think one aspect is that it's more difficult to leave a negative review, and if you've ever sold on eBay then you're probably more reluctant to neg other sellers. I'm certainly willing to wait for a seller to sort things out rather than give them a negative, because of the stigma not having 100% can bring you.

You are now being completely dishonest.

First article:

> Priebus did not cite any evidence to back up his apparent bombshell.

> The White House said in a statement to the Daily News that Priebus "was addressing hacking generally, not election manipulation."

> But none of the intelligence reports have officially said China or North Korea played a part in that, calling into question where Priebus got his information.

The second article does not even mention election interference or even swaying public opinion AT ALL, even slightly. Did you read past the headline? Because by "China Just Won The U.S. Election" the article describes that Trump's policies would be "a win" for China. Not that they got Trump elected.

They only cause slowdown on some models, if you pay Intel enough they wont. The advantage of AVX512 is you can use it on every core (rather than trying to work out how to partition a GPU), and it is useful for lots of general purpose computations.
Spectrasonics Omnisphere 2.3.1 Crack [MacOS]
AVX512 has so many more features above-and-beyond Intel's typical SIMD implementation. Feature wise, its beginning to be competitive against NVidia's PTX CUDA architecture. Like, AVX512 is a really, really good instruction set (or I guess: a really good set of instruction sets).

Assuming AVX512 F, CD, VL, DQ, and BW (the expected AVX512 instructions in CannonLake):

* AVX512F -- "Standard" 512-bit arithmetic already has major improvements, above and beyond the 256bit -> 512bit upgrade. AVX512 has 32-registers per core (when AVX2 and earlier only have 16). The new set of opmask instructions also allow for way more code to turn into "branch-free" code which is friendly for pipelines. This is already a major step forward alone with huge implications for multimedia code.

* AVX512-CD: Conflict Detection. These instructions allow auto-vectorizers to "resolve loop conflicts" and auto-vectorize more code.

* VL, DQ -- Extend AVX512 to Bytes, Shorts, Longs, Long Longs.

* BW -- Extend AVX512 to operate on only 256-bit and 128-bits at a time.

--------------------

I'm certain that some code, which could not be vectorized in AVX2 (or lower), will be vectorized with AVX512. Maybe even automatically as compiler writers implement high-level features / auto-vectorizers.

> Would you buy a toaster oven from someones cargo van on the side of the road in a shady street or prefer to purchase it form Amazon?

Locals who know the owner of that cargo van will quite often prefer that source, as evidenced at least by the very fact that the van is still there selling toaster ovens. That's a form of reputation-based purchase, too.
Yes you are correct.
If someone says that they're trying to deal with local drug deaths, telling them that their local problems aren't worth their time isn't the right answer.
You'll do fine. Invest those bitcoins to altcoins, like Ripple or Ethereum. Cryptocurrency capitalisation is still steadily increasing. People are just dumping BTC for altcoins now, which is normal at the end of a strong uptrend. 6 months ago it was the opposite, i.e. altcoins rallied and then were dumped for Bitcoin. Just don't panic. If you're trying to participate in this, you can't take it too seriously, otherwise emotions will wreak havoc on your decision making. The whole trick is riding these waves, without expecting them to be constant.

One piece of long term advice would be to keep greed in check. It's better to make small profits and be calm, than make large profits and be nervous.

Another advice is, before entering a trade, have a clearcut plan of where you will take profit in case the trade goes your way, and where you will leave if it goes against you.

I know the emotional trip can be tough. I added my email to my user page, so get in touch if you need any kind of support, technical or otherwise.
Prolonged standing increases risk of varicose veins. It seems likely that mixing sitting and standing would be best. In what proportions, I don't know. Walking is likely to be a good substitute for simple standing in most people. It improves veinous return, puts some healthy impact into the legs, increases uptake of glucose from the blood stream by the leg muscles, gives the heart and lungs a little extra work, etc.
Had bankers broken regulations with “reckless abandon”, a few more of them might be in jail. And there’s the problem: a lot of the shenanigans might not have been on the up-and-up, but they were not illegal. For example, Moodys rating junk derivatives as AAA isn’t illegal, AFAIK, it’s a trust issue that should have put Moody’s out of business but didn’t.

I figure regulation should protect against deliberate malice and foreseeable stupidity. Unfortunately that can be very broad, the line isn't always clear, and it can change. I figure good regulation needs to be very agile, and above all skeptical of its own use of power. But again, reasonable people can easily disagree on all of the specifics.
Regardless of what i'd personally need it for, it is still something that NVIDIA's drivers provide and AMD/Mesa lack and thus a negative on Mesa's side (especially considering that NVIDIA not only provides all that extra stuff but they still manage to be faster than the implementations - like Mesa and Apple - that do not).

Now as for what I would need the compatibility profile, it is very simple: i just find it more convenient to use so i have a ton of code that uses it. The original idea for the separation of profiles was that the core profile would make implementing OpenGL easier and make it faster but neither of those actually happened (as i said, NVIDIA despite implementing the entirety of OpenGL is still the fastest implementation) while i really disagree with the idea of pushing the complex bits towards the end users (of the API) in order to avoid the implementors doing it. It is better to have 1 developer on the driver/implementation side handle the complexity that 1000 users (of the API) are going to enjoy than have each one of those 1000 users make 1000 individual solutions to that complexity, thus multiplying the time spent on the complexity by 1000 (this of course applies to all tech that by itself is "simple" only because it pushes the hard bits to its clients - see Wayland as another example).

Ok, so actually i have two reasons, one practical (i find it convenient) and one more ideological (pushing complexity upwards). Actually i have two ideological reasons, the second (and actually more important) is that i dislike backwards incompatible breakage in APIs and libraries (unless that API is meant for internal or utility use, of course, or is in beta/development stage). This is a much bigger issue though, so let's leave it at that :-P.

If we don't know the risk of something, especially if there is the possibility of serious illness, then we should stop doing it until we do know the risk. After all, it's not like convention centers are the only place where these things can be held. Imagine the headlines: "Disney tourists contract _______ because doctors did not know the risks of bringing dead bodies into convention center"
My guess is this could be driving the divide between semantic and vanity versions. If a developer has a big new update that's fully backward compatible they'll still be tempted to bump the major version of it means they can justify selling it separately. (Assuming stores allow names with a numeric bump.)
i think the point of specifying that it's being sold from a van is that the merchant is transient and not tied to any local reputation framework

I just went through the situation where a family member all of sudden panicked (1 week after I reiterated all disclaimers multiple times, I said BTC is stretched and he already missed all forks that may solve it, etc, etc) and wanted his BTC paper wallet transferred to anything else. 33 hours later and 2 times > 40 euros (> 600 Satoshi/Byte) of transfer cost later the BTC are now USD in Bittrex.

Never advice your family anything. If they don't get it, they shouldn't be playing with it. This was certainly my last time, I even think I'm flat out going to refuse to talk about anymore. This week I even received texts that I should act "before Amerika wakes up". It's stopping right now, he either learns the Gdax or I will transfer what's left of his money to his normal bank account (he should be happy it's still almost everything.)

The NYC subway system is orders of magnitude better than anything else in this country, absolutely. This also means that pretty much everyone relies on it to get around every day---so we have to hold it to a much higher standard. If the subway were as bad as it is in SF, the whole city would more or less stop functioning entirely.
The really scary (or even shady) part to me isn't a complete outage, but a controlled selective one - where some functions become unavailable to some people. That creates massive opportunities for abuse.

Online advertising has existed for over 25 years. [1] Online ad brokers (i.e., competitors with Google) have existed for nearly 20 years. It is incredibly disingenuous of you to pretend as if Google is in any way "forced" to play both gatekeeper and ad broker, like no-one else is trying to compete in that space. Developing Chrome was a deliberate choice by Google to position themselves to own the means by which users consume ads, search (ads), and video (ads).

> The parent's point about philosophical literacy is apropos here. Natural law and its underlying metaphysics is very technical and deep.

This may be true, but such endeavors must reconcile with modern scientific understanding one way or another, or they can lose validity/usefulness. I haven't seen any convincing efforts to do so.

Note, this would be less of an issue if they didn't make certain specific claims or rely on certain specific premises that the natural sciences directly touch. E.g. the "purpose" of sexual organs.

One relevant idea that has been growing stronger for me is that a philosophical endeavor needs some sort of strong, tangible connection to reality in order to have meaning or usefulness. Without such grounding, it is far too easy to end up with something that seems reasonable on the surface but may actually be nonsensical or illusory.

> Even the people running exchanges are getting hacked. What chance does a normal user have?

I agree that actually securing a wallet, independently, as a non-technical user, is difficult. It is further exacerbated by, as you mentioned, the general hype around crypto related apps that promise to do this in a trivial way, which can often be traps.

I also, however, think your final question presents a false dichotomy, as the two (Exchanges and users) have different threat models.

Exchanges present a larger, highly lucrative target, meaning they are ammenable to expensive, targeted attacks as they can still be possible.

The security model for an individual user can be to secure their coins in a way that is relatively secure (Maybe not as absolutely, as they are not experts), but more importantly to secure their coins in a way which a scalable attack against many users is not tenable.

In this way, just because exchanges get hacked doesn’t necessarily imply that normal users don’t have a chance, as they have different threat models with their own nuances.

Could be, but sadly it wasn't explicit. I interpreted it the way I did, because plenty of semi-permanent merchants I've seen do their business from vans, for reasons most likely involving location permits.
It's kinda funny to notice that in the article the writer is describing the stereotype of a drug dealer being untrusted, yet based on my experience and what I've seen, I would rather trust an online drug dealer than for example my bank or the people running our government.

Yet I have heard horror stories of how it was so run down in the 70's and 80's that people were afraid to even take it at all.

Isn't this a case of people glorifying the past? Are there objective metrics that demonstrate service quality has degraded (reduced train frequency, reduced amount of seats, etc...)?
Taking a bigger picture view, this makes me wonder.. we took so much effort to move from the industrial age, where hands on work, always active all day work took its toll on workers, to the service or knowledge age, where we sit all day and that takes its toll.

Surely the answer lies somewhere in-between, that we must rest, and we must move, and the amount of each must be relative to each person and activity.

I would prefer to see studies not just trying to prove things bad (we have enough of those), but focuses on what can be proven to be a positive, for example, the optimal mixture of activity and rest for different people and situations.

For example, in addition to "sitting may be bad for your heart" (while necessary and important), I would like to see more of the studies that say "for age group <Y>, occupation <Z>, walking for <N> interval followed by resting for <M> interval increased <X> or <Y> positive benefits".

Since we automated a lot of manual labor, maybe the next big thing is automating sitting all day so we can get up and walk around.
