Been there, done that and have read dozens of research papers on azolla as livestock feed, but there hadn't been any human research when I delved into the subject. That was quite a few years ago, however. I'll dig back into the stacks and see what I find. My chickens prefer azolla over just about anything, I need to grow more of it.
YouTube is making changes. Http://vid.me tried the subscribe for paid content model to compete with YouTube and vid.me had to close down recently.

I know that most ad blockers that I have tried can block video ads just as well as html ads.

I discovered http://pluto.tv With over 100 channels for free and they put in their own ads to make the whole service free and it looks and feels like a cable or satellite system. I was researching cord cutter resources when I found that. We have Roku and a Fire Stick and there are a lot of free or discounted Internet tvapps out there.

Amazon Prime for example is good for free shipping but also has Amazon Video included and can subscribe to premium channels if you want HBO etc.

Google YouTube and Amazon Prime videos are fighting each other now by removing their apps from the others store.

Apple tv has gotten better as well, my brother gave it to his girlfriend and she cut off cable and uses the Apple tv instead.

Bitchute is another YouTube alternative http://bitchute.com and I am looking for more to compile a list for my blog to help people find them.

Since Disney bought out Fox and now own 60% of Hulu they will slowly pull their IP from Netflix. Which is why Netflix is making their own TV series and movies.

The market for videos changes fast, you have to keep on top of it.
Google Maps downloading building structure and parked truck boxes is WAY too much to download, especially over my limited cell data plan... That's pretty ridiculous, I have almost no need for that.
I've heard all the alt-right arguments, long before the term alt-right made it into contemporary vernacular, and concluded that they are meritless ideas coming from idiots who lack the ability of genuine critical thought. They can say whatever they want, I don't really care, but I reserve the right to mock them and discriminate against them for being dangerous idiots.

Being open to new and alternative thoughts is not the same as allowing unrestricted hate from racist triggered cowards. If I deem an idea as non-constructive or even destructive I will discard it. Alt-right ideas and ideologies are dead, a hangover from times past. What we are experiencing is the final purge, the virus is rearing up again like a cold sore and the collective immune system of society will stamp it out for good. This is a necessary yet uncomfortable inevitability which is why I'm perfectly ok with it.
Benefits of Python Programming as Career. Employers Need Skilled Candidates
That's a very good point. Many a times engineers have an excellent use case/rationale for investing in a piece of technology, but they are unable to convert it into the language that business would understand. Marissa and many others have mastered that art.
Well put. In this vein, for the economically inclined, I highly recommend "The Romantic Economist" by Richard Bronk. https://www.amazon.com/Romantic-Economist-Imagination-Econom...

>Since economies are dynamic processes driven by creativity, social norms, and emotions as well as rational calculation, why do economists largely study them using static equilibrium models and narrow rationalistic assumptions? Economic activity is as much a function of imagination and social sentiments as of the rational optimisation of given preferences and goods. In this book, Richard Bronk argues that economists can best model and explain these creative and social aspects of markets by using new structuring assumptions and metaphors derived from the poetry and philosophy of the Romantics. By bridging the divide between literature and science, and between Romanticism and narrow forms of Rationalism, economists can access grounding assumptions, models, and research methods suitable for comprehending the creativity and social dimensions of economic activity. This is a guide to how economists and other social scientists can broaden their analytical repertoire to encompass the vital role of sentiments, language, and imagination.
No. People are generally not educated enough about electronics to understand that batteries degrade over time. The most common way this manifests is “this phone sucks the battery dies in 10 minutes zomg I’ll never buy x phone again!”.

Your phone battery has been abused for years and you expect it to hold a charge?!

It’s a much much better decision to slow it down than let the phone die.
This.

Well said.
If you have concrete evidence, that’s enough.

What if the situation was, that someone told you they saw this sign one time? Would that be enough not to shop there?
The problem I have with GM is that it will often send me past my destination, then have me do a U-turn, in an apparent attempt to make sure the building is on the right side of the street. Even if there is no center divider and a left turn lane. Even if there is a traffic-light-controlled intersection to get me into the parking lot of the building.
Sounds like the offspring of FIPS 140-2 and PCI. Have fun with that.
Your thought experiment is flawed at many levels. To look at only one aspect - the question is not on the company (bank) but on people.

The answer is Yes.

Banks will ban it's employees from buying those pesos because of something called "conflict of interest". It wouldn't matter if the price jumps or not. In fact, a conflict of interest can exist even if there are no improper acts as a result of it.

There are no laws against it for cryptocurrencies, yet. But, if something like this happened, it is unfair to Coinbase's customer.
I value freedom more than privacy. I choose what to share and what to not share.
CLINICAL AND CONTAGIOUS CHARACTERISTICS OF TUBERCLES
I really agree with you. I've tried using Here Maps and Waze. Waze is just too much ad/game crap and Here works nice for navigation, but tends to crash the OS or disable mobile data randomly.

With most of this article I was like "So what?" So what if Google has intelligent building vectors. It's UI is shit. You can't go back and fourth between different routes easily. You can't easily add waypoints. You can't do a lot of the stuff you could do with traditional maps.

And the worst thing, half the time you can't even see the names of streets:

https://www.justinobeirne.com/what-happened-to-google-maps/

This is especially difficult if you're walking around and just want the name of a god damn street. You gotta zoom in, jiggle things around. Fuck aerial views of buildings. When I'm walking I need to match up actual street signs to find my way around.

Open Street Maps is actually pretty nice, although the views are extremely busy. It can be a bit of an overload.
For people familiar with electronics yes. Most people don’t understand this and think the phone is a cheap piece of crap if the battery starts dying early.
I once had a phone with a removable back, and a special case designed to hold a massive battery in place without the back plate. Sucker was almost like a brick in your hand, but I've got huge hands, and I LOVED the fact that my battery would last for nearly a week with intense usage(I read books, like, all the freaking time on my phone)
It looks nice. Did anyone read it and have an opinion?

It's impossible to rank two people the same. You will never encounter two people with the same profile, the same experiences in the same domains, who both want to do the same thing next.

Well, I suppose if we only look at first year college grad, there is a lot of duplicates.
There's a legit need for tampering, though - to arbitrate disputes between creditors and debtors. Also to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. So there's four parties that contribute to the document:

1. Credit applicants, who release all-or-none of their credit report information, and can see it at any point in time. Means it needs to be stored encrypted with their public key.

2. Creditors, who can add, edit, and remove information from someone's credit report. Presumably this adds a way to verify that the addition/edit/deletion is from them and not some other party (sign with private key).

3. Other creditors, who can - with approval - view an applicant's credit report and know it is complete and up-to-date.

4. Arbitrator, who resolves disputes and deletes or corrects inaccurate information from reports.

And presumably you'd want some sort of additional safety mechanism to prevent dissemination of the unencrypted result? Like, if you gave an organization an unlock code, maybe it's possible to arrange things such that that organization's private key is able to create legit-looking data, so nobody else could trust third-party sharing of credit report data?
Insider crypto trading is a giant issue and it's extremely fucked up.
Reminds me of the introduction to Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, which says nearly the same, that problems in computer science are unbounded by physical limitations (barring the hardware it's run on).
Mtgox was done in by a pattern of criminal stupidity spanning years not some one off black swan event. Coinbase in contrast is a gold standard of professionalism.
What if all the data was public and shared and different people could build their own representations. What if everyone collaborated?

I disagree with the competition is always good. There are many cases where you are duplicating work. The best standard rarely wins (PCI vs MCA .. MCA was superior in many ways technologically .. was even hot pluggable, but PCI had better licensing).

We get into a lot of repetition and the 'best' product rarely wins. It's more about marketing your product in a way people desire it. Example: Beats Audio Headphones.
I have no idea what you're talking about. People from big tech companies say their opinion about what their company does all the time.

Your comment was super rude.
...if you believe that the accused is affirmatively innocent, you have to believe that the accused is guilty.

This is not strictly or even practically true, but you acknowledge that later. When the defendant prevails in a court case, we don’t turn around and lock up the plaintiff.

You go on to say:

...a world in which all who accuse people of sexual harassment are effectively guilty-until-proven-innocent in the court of public opinion isn’t a great world, either.

If you replace “sexual harassment” with any other accusation, do you still feel the same way? With regards to the flaw in human thinking you mention — do we have to work with it for all kinds of accusations, or is it specifically a problem for sexual harassment?
Their acquisition of Waze really gave them the edge here. Waze has been getting better and better at predicting times. I find that in most situations it is rarely off by more than a minute or two.
At this stage in life (maybe not at the time), I relate to my own education in philosophy as "learning to think", or "learning to reason", perhaps.

You have to follow a train of thought through and address even the minutest details for logical consistency, or another person (playing the devil's advocate, most likely) will find the inconsistencies and use them to poke a hole in the entire argument. This skill is not limited to debate. Debate is just one way to exercise it.

The usefulness of being able to carry out long, cohesive trains of thought is so general and pervasive that it's hard to describe any one situation, on the lines of "a hammer is useful for getting nails into a board", that describes it rather than diminishes it.
Does google cloud vision use deep learning to build their image text recognition?
Obviously they decided not to focus on that particular feature, yes. Given its importance, seen as a table stakes UI feature by most other email clients, that clearly indicates development is stalled.
And no doubt they pull from obviously free public sources such as sigalert as well. More data to feed to their hungry compute engine.
A substantial fraction of the world's natural gas is burned to produce nitrogen fertilizer. This is largely obtained through fracking. Fertilizers, as they are used on the large scale, are pretty bad for the environment.
That's not what emscripten does. It compiles C to javascript and the program is distributed as javascript, not C.
I was thinking the same thing of "who cares."

I take the train and walk a lot more than I drive. I need street names, and GMaps have made them harder and harder to see for years:

https://www.justinobeirne.com/what-happened-to-google-maps/

I gotta pinch zoom all the way in, jiggle the map around a bunch, just to see street names. It's annoying as fuck since it's the most important thing on the map when walking in a city to orientate yourself (because we all know those digital compasses are garbage).

I should really just carry a magnetic compass on my key chain again.

I really miss the classic maps interface. More streets, more relevant detail and much much faster. Classic maps that used the whole screen without the white area on the left, and the vector rendering tech would have been way better than their crappy web interface now.
> because it's not free for Apple to bundle with iOS

Would love to see a citation for that. Wouldn't Google want to boost maps usage on iOS?
Thanks for you suggest. I just live math, and math + DL/ML/AI is very interesting, the DL framework/library is like normal software framework/library, easy and fun to use, but math relate papers are more fun.

New Android Malware Can Physically Damage Your Phone
I feel like changing the parts like ECC RAM and the 5K monitor you'll end up with a different conclusion - Apple will win out. The prices will be very similar and the iMac Pro will have better components overall, and of course that nice all-in-one design to boot.
I was driving once, with a Google Maps engineer giving directions. We had flown thousands of miles to visit a place, which we had visited the day before. During the second drive over, from the hotel, he expounded on the awesomeness of Maps (which is truly awesome, don't get me wrong) right up until his phone said "Your destination is on the left" and all we had was a fence with a grass field on the other side. We were looking for a complex of buildings we had seen before, so this was clearly not correct.

To his credit, he immediately started thinking through what had gone wrong, but it was so awesome to be a witness to that moment.

Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy bore a “large, friendly label” with those words, and that’s also my message to you.

I don’t see any reason for students to be afraid of statistics. It’s no more difficult than any other technical course, and it’s much more practical than other math courses. The mathematical details are here for those who want them, but I lean heavily on technology to relieve students of the “grunt work”.
Google handles 500 000 deletion requests per year [1][2]. But can DuckDuckGo ? This kills every google competitior startup right on spot.

On the other hand, Google had a huge head start in developing robust voice recognition with GOOG-411. Whereas Alexa and Siri are more or less at parity, from what I've heard.

But, I own neither an Echo, nor an Android, and I'm still running iOS 6 on an iPhone 4S.
Google's not infallible either. I was looking at a map and noticed that it labelled a restaurant called OPH in Chanhassen, MN. The Original Pancake House is one of my favorite restaurants and is sometimes abbreviated OPH, so I was intrigued. Going to the street view you can see that it's a purely residential area with a park and a pool and no restaurant in sight. Try it for yourself.

I thought about responding to these critics, but they don't really say much beyond "you never know!"/"don't be too sure!", so I'll leave things as is.
The fraud is ultimately paid for by the userbase (cardholders and merchants) as a whole through paying fees. (Of course, whether a reduction in fraud cost results in a decrease in fee burden or an increase in issuer profits...)
I think they meant commented-out code.
Does this extrapolate into the modern realms of appetic or videogametic?
Apple Maps, OSM, etc are needed because even weak competition forces Google Maps to keep improving
And how many approaches do you think there are in mapping? Street View, satellite, 3D modeling from airplane flights, manual mapping, etc. These are all different approaches being used more or less by all players.

Think about how mapping was done before Google. Competition is exactly why we have Google Maps, and why Google Maps is continuously improving, instead of just sitting on its advantage.

Not only competition here has been extremely fruitful, it has made maps freely available to consumers.

Do you remember how much the TomTom app used to cost?
My best experience with google maps was actually finding a restaurant inside of Kyoto or Tokyo mainstation. Google maps navigated me perfectly across all floors and knew all stairs I had to take.

We're not talking about a bunch of people pitching in some time as they feel about doing it, we're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars (probably more) spent on this.

But, as you wouldn't invest your retirement funds in such a company, why would you expect others to do so?
Big companies play in many markets (read: countries). Just to deal with financing, taxes, regulations, legal, and everything you can imagine that is related to "doing business", not even considering resources to deal with Marketing/Sales/Support, and definitely not to "building products" (engineering), it can take hundreds of employees. To make things more interesting, the bigger the portfolio of a company, even higher is the number of employees.

Regarding the cost of "doing business", consider this: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/IC.TAX.DURS?year_high_d...

And here's a story about it: https://www.forbes.com/sites/joeharpaz/2013/12/17/brazil-ran...

TL;DR on both links above: in Brazil, a company may spend as well as 2,600 hours a year to comply with taxes.

Now imagine a company with hundreds, if not thousands of contracts, customers, multiple invoices, and so on. Even if they outsourced this, it'd still require a lot of employees, distributed worldwide in every market/country that company wants to do business in to deal with local regulations.

Oracle has over 136,000 employees, but also has offices in almost every country - definitely in every continent. Based on the latest Fact Sheet [1], here's an idea:

- - 16,000 support and services specialists, who speak 29 languages
- - 19,000 implementation consultants

Machine learning really doesn't have many uses for games outside of the development cycle (or non-critical gimmicks). If it's exposed to player input - or especially; random input - it absolutely must have robust, stable and controllable behaviour, at least on paper. Most of the time getting any of those out of an NN is either difficult or blatantly impossible.

Though speech synthesis specifically might be a good use case for some simpler ML, such as to form the final sound from processed phonemes (i.e acting as a fuzzy lookup table).
> Some things should be shared in common and competitive services built on top.

Only when the existence of one incumbent inhibits the entrance of new ones, like physical infrastructure and natural monopolies.

As you can see, there is an abundance of mapping services. So yeah, competition is working great here.
