The future is a long time. Eventually faster computation, larger memory would allow taking smaller and smaller steps during training (coupled with avoiding "bad optima" with stochastic training). All of this would improve robustness of training.

The domain dictates whether degree of opacity (or other attributes), would rule out deep learning.

There's nothing wrong with saying that you don't know what's behind the rise in Bitcoin's value, but pointing out that it has features of several known irrationality inducing biases, including the ones you quoted above. That's all Shiller is doing here.

I prefer that opinion over the one that claims a priori that Bitcoin's value is backed by economic fundamentals.

I don't think so. You are correct that the "kindest" thing to do is to not kill something. But if you've already made the decision to kill something it's kind to pick the least painful method to kill it.

For example if someone has been sentenced to death it's kind to do so with a lethal injection, but unkind to do so by crucifixion as the Romans used to love to do.

The killing method can't justify the killing but the assumption here is that you've already made your piece with eating the animal. So the only thing left is to try not make is suffer more than required for you to eat it.

Nature is generally not so kind. Many predators eat their pray alive, it'd be a rather horrific way to go.

I suspect you may not agree with eating animals at all, if so I think that is a separate argument.
I agree that parental leave is valuable (though I'd love to see data supporting this if you have it).

I am curious how the BIOS/Firmware updates will be managed. Microsoft points to manufacturer. Manufacturer may 1) not be in the consumer personal computer market, or 2) even if the manufacturer is still in the business of selling computers may no longer be supporting specific devices. I'm specifically thinking of Toshiba, but there may be other examples out there.

Ideally there will be a way to safely update BIOS/firmware directly from Intel.

Complaints from Ofo workers reflect reality for labor that power sharing economy
It's only bad for media companies who use pretty awful tactics to get eyeballs.

The trick is really to stop worrying about clicks to your site and focus on good content that people will engage with (share, comment, like, whatever). If it's good content people respond well to it and will seek out your brand.

You see the same thing with the savvy companies on Instagram/Snapchat/etc

It's only bad if you're essentially a click-bait factory.

My firsthand experience suggests that linking to my blogs is not only not helpful, it has a huge downside. No good ever comes of it.

My most recent health blog is easy to find if anyone is genuinely interested. I have absolutely no reason to believe such interest exists.

I didn't make my comment to promote my blogs. I wish I knew how to promote my work and monetize it. I remain very poor and this is an ongoing source of stress in my life. But I don't know how to fix that. I see the current monetization schemes of health stuff as part of the problem. So to my mind that is a non starter.

I keep hoping someone will prove I am just stupid and it is possible to both do the right thing (in this specific domain) and also make money. But, so far, I am failing to find a path forward on that.

I wish I felt your suggestion was a good one. But 17 years of online drama suggests otherwise.

I welcome the changes, and am open to giving Zuckerberg's pledge to investigate decentralization this year[1] a fair shake.

He has a lot of work and convincing to do to fulfill these lofty goals and inspire us to take him seriously. Nothing against Zuckerberg specifically, even -- just that corporate incentives and business momentum are mighty forces to be contended with, even assuming Mark is acting in good faith and full capacity.

> they'll accept that they will make less money as a result of this change

If they're providing less engagement to content discovery from businesses in the feed, it increases the value of the traditional advertising on the platform. Perhaps their plan is expected to simultaneously push up the ad rates they can charge to access users, as an offset.

It's also likely to increase the value of the content Facebook is going to curate/push on its own platform via Watch. They're going to build out a substantial streaming business in the coming years, rivaling YouTube. The user obviously has finite time, this will probably ultimately shift more engagement time to Watch, less time to stray business or media content.

Overall it strikes me as a classic later stage of platform evolution. First you have an ecosystem with large numbers of external parties that are deriving immense value from the platform (whether businesses or developers or other). Then you eat the ecosystem, replacing it with your own systems and on-platform content. For example, instead of promoting a Craigslist (eBay, Poshmark, whatever) post, if you're Facebook you promote on-platform "marketplace" listings. Instead of an external YouTube post getting attention, that goes to Watch. By doing that, they technically fulfill their claimed plan (if only in their own opinion). Twitter, Microsoft Windows, eBay, Google, Netflix, nearly all platforms do this aggressively eventually.
This plus the Adblock wars makes me wonder if there's anything that would make both consumers and media happy at the same time, or whether the relationship is pseudo adversarial by nature now.
Having used a TENS system before, yes. And if there's imperfect contact, it stings like a bastard.

They would not have to set extortionate prices. They simply could auction off whatever supply they produce to the highest bidder. With a market as rife with… optimists as cryptocurrencies are, there's a good chance they could capture more than 100% of the profits.

It seems to me that bitcoin mining should be about as purely economic a business as there is. It's not like their clients would not abolish the ASIC manufacturers as soon as their hardware is no longer cost effective.

I can't induce lucid dreaming, and for that reason it happens quite rarely, but oh how do I love it!!

When it happens I start flying and fly and fly. It's one of the best, if not the best experience ever. I usually wake up having convinced myself I can actually fly, or at least escape gracity at will. It takes a while to get back to "reality".

What's so cool about lucid dreaming is, it feels exactly like reality (unlike, say, daydreaming). And you get to decide what happens and what do.

What's not to like.

”At what point is it just trying to one up things and at what point is it to thwart law enforcement?" he added. "Apple is pretty good at evil genius stuff.”

Oh, rest easy, whippersnapper, we are a ways off from that. It’s what experts call a “design decision”. Keep taunting Apple, though, and they just might start take it personally. And don’t flatter yourselves, Apple does this to keep everyone out except the authorized user, not just law enforcement. But I suspect our FBI “expert” knows his.

But oddly when the FBI says “Apple” three times in a whiny voice, an iPhone shows up in my shopping cart instead of an Android phone. My conspiracy theory says the FBI is on the take from Apple, it’s the best advertising they have right now.
AFDC and other Great Society programs are better candidates for a culprit if you're looking for a reason for increased out-of-wedlock births based on the timing.

SAFE will certainly store files, and it will do so in such a way that nobody will know who is reading them or who published them, striving to be completely censorship resistant. Think TOR hidden services that your grandma can use.

The network strives to be completely autonomous. Sort of like the bitcoin network is, with no human able to distrupt, roll-back, or alter the data on the network. But rather than just storing a blockchain autonomously, it stores files and data.

One of the pieces of data it will store will be the SAFEcoin tokens, which will be able to have their owners changed by the network when they are sent from one user to another. Because the consensus group that signs these ownership transfers is relatively small, you end up with a system that scales. The larger the network, the more transfers per second it can do, since it's effectively parallel processing. Only a very small subset of nodes are involved in a transfer from Lisa to Sally, and a completely different set of nodes would handle a transfer from Tom to Fred, and so on. No bottlenecks in the secure transfer of coins or data.

SAFEcoin tokens are pretty much plain vanilla data objects, which means you can do the same thing with any other data, such as create other secure tokens for other applications.
First and foremost, I applaud your integrity and levelheadedness.

It is rare in the startup world, and even more so among the less experienced people who often lose perspective at the sight of money.

I doubt that will get their attention.

It has to be:

1. Short

2. Convincing (read scary)

Focus on two messages only:

* you will go to jail *

* you are killing the future of the company when it's generally well-off *

Create examples. Cite business people (NOT techies!) calling it a fraud. While I said "short", the list of examples should be as long as possible.

Finally, ask the question: how many companies that ICO'd got acquired?

The answer is none. There are just speculations (https://www.coindesk.com/ico-ma-token-exits-get-messy/ and https://www.reddit.com/r/ethtrader/comments/6kfumc/what_happ...).

As the lawyers in the large organisations are paranoid, they will simply stay clear of it until someone else did it.
It won‘t work. The mechanism that hides the timing information from untrusted code will itself leak timing information.

This is one of the things telemetry data can be used for. We can include telemetry probes in the browser that tell us what percentage of the time users end up switching tabs after hovering. Then we can make informed decisions about whether the feature is worth the extra complexity (and CPU cycles) before any development work is done. As far as tailoring the feature to individual browsing habits, telemetry could inform whether or not that would be worth implementing.
Maybe the other positives Boston has in its favor outweigh the downsides, but you’d think Amazon would use this opportunity to pick a city with lower cost of living. Boston is one of only a few places more expensive than Seattle, which raises the question of what is the point of doing this at all.

You don't need to wait for a BIOS update.

On Linux download the microcode and update it manually.

On Windows use the VMware Microcode installer and download the microcode from Intel and use that to update the Microcode on your machine.

On Windows you'll need to edit cpumcupdate.inf to remove the AMD microcode files if you don't want to download the microcode from both vendors since the VMware tool needs both to work properly.

I'm very similar to you, though I think I still have about 50/1000 friends followed. I get maybe 2-3 new posts on my timeline on a "good day". Anyone who posts anything political or vitriolic gets unfollowed. Generally I only see happy things like travel photos, humorous posts, etc.

FB constantly nags me to "add more friends" to see more posts. I love my happy feed. :)
Another similar option would presumably be to delegate _acme-challenge.example.com to different nameservers with an NS record, then give your application the required privileges to control solely that nameserver.

No one would have any idea what the hell "tab warming" means without being told, which seems unnecessary for something that is a simple concept to understand. It increases the cognitive load in a field that already has a lot of it. Please just give your hack and techniques descriptive names; or better yet, think long and hard whether or not the thing even needs a name. "pre-render on hover" would suffice.

Hey you quoted my point about escape hatches but forgot to respond, interested to hear your thoughts. I guess to the 1st point, yes and Vue js allows this smell while React doesn't.

Regarding 2nd point, I disagree it's narrow, it affects all methods for all components. But its not a big factor in deciding what framework to use.

React is just a tad more "standards compliant" when it comes to web development, in my opinion. And in web development standards matter a lot, even when the standards themselves may not be great...

I really like VueJS for what its worth, its still my favorite framework, but I'd bet my money on React in the same sense I would invest in Walmart even though its not the perfect business. The react ecosystem has a much higher learning curve also, to play devils advocate.
