> p(mud | rain) = 1.0

> p(rain | mud) = p(rain)

tr352 has already detailed below why this doesn't work, but I think it's worth noting why this is fundamentally the wrong thing. When you look at P(X|Y), you're conditioning on everything you can infer having seen Y -- you're not limiting yourself to causal connections. So in fact, you're not correct to say that P(rain|mud) = P(rain); P(rain|mud) will be greater than P(rain); the fact that it's muddy out does indeed tell you that it is more likely to be raining out, even though the causality does not run that way.

(Indeed, in general, P(X|Y)>P(X) if and only if P(Y|X)>P(Y) -- this occurs if and only if X and Y are positively correlated -- but causality is not symmetric, so you certainly cannot represent causality with "being positively correlated", a symmetric relation! Similarly P(X|Y)=P(X) if and only if P(Y|X)=P(Y); this occurs if and only if X and Y are independent. I'm pretty sure you don't mean to say that rain and mud are independent of one another, but that's what we must conclude from your equations.)

Basically, you're talking about P(rain|mud), but what you actually want is something like P(rain|do(mud)); it is indeed the case that P(rain|do(mud))=P(rain). But pure probability theory can't capture that, which is the point of what Pearl is saying. Probability theory really does not work like causality works, and cannot capture the same information, and if you ignore this and try to use probability theory as if it were causality anyway you are going to end up with some seriously nonsensical results, like thinking that rain and mud are independent of one another.

(Meanwhile, the problem with your first attempt, namely,

> ¬Causes(mud, rain) ∧ Causes(rain, mud)

is, well... it's not wrong, it's just completely unhelpful. OK, so you've made "causes" into a primitive relation. Great. Now how do we reason about that? All you've done is rephrased a statement, what we need here is a system of reasoning.)

> How do I know which Crypto to buy into?
> Read the Whitepaper.

I've seen this interaction so many times now. It's great that people read these whitepapers, but what to they judge them on? They're often a one-sided technical explanation with zero objective information in terms of feasibility in the market.

There's one (apparently delayed) ICO planned, for a company that wants people to share their CPU time to train neural networks in exchange for some token. I can hardly believe that a distributed network of laptops in living rooms can be more efficient (and therefore cheaper) at doing this than centralized, purpose built hardware in data centers with efficient cooling systems (like Google's new TPU). And that's even if they figure out how to make this technology work effectively.

My colleague, though, was very impressed though, because he heard somebody say that training a neural network takes a lot of time, which is true, depending on the complexity and whether you run it on a €500 Acer laptop or on specialized hardware.
> Only to find out by that time the market has moved on and nobody wants to buy that kind of a thing anymore.

... But somebody wanted to buy this product. Airbus expected the project to break even at ~300 sales and they have gotten 317 firm orders so far. People are massively overstating the commercial "failure" of this project. Even with their development troubles, Airbus is getting close to breaking even, if they can generate more sales over the next decade or so. (The break even point is estimated to be ~400 now.)

There are still firm orders for 5 years of production on the books. Early adopters are replacing their oldest planes with newly produced ones right now. ANA put in an entirely new, firm order two years ago despite not operating this type at all. Yes, no sale in 2 years is not great, but even Jan 2016 was long after everyone on the internet was calling for Airbus to kill the entire project already. If the 380 succeeds in ANA's fleet, there is scope for more orders from them or their close competitors.

Iran also has an agreement with Airbus that includes 12 380s, though that's not a firm order as far as I can tell. In addition to this, Emirates will probably have to order 50-100 new planes on top of their existing orders to replace their aging fleet in the near future. Emirates want an 380NEO, but they will probably have to accept the 380Plus that Airbus favors. Once they do, the 380 project will have the orders it needs to reach break even and to keep the production line open until a NEO makes sense. And if passenger numbers keep on increasing at 4-5% every year over the 10-15 years the 380 is likely to stay in production, the market Airbus had expected/hoped for originally might very well materialize.
He's correct. The rest of the country is pretty bleak for the poor.
It’s not a common misconception if trust is implied or is verified by other means then you only need to be able to effectively verify correctness and there are much much cheaper ways of achieving that.
As someone young, and highly ambitious, I've taken to seeking like-minded peers by asking people where they'd like to be in 10 years.

It has the air of being a quite typical interview-y type question, though I think it's useful to see, given youthful optimism and the astounding future promise of our field (software + computing), just how many shy away from declaring great personal hope and aspiration, seeing no place for themselves in the future's next great achievements or assuming they will 'just happen' around them.

It's a shot in the arm to actually hear someone young candidly express grand aspirations whilst soberly embracing the year and years of toil those aspirations demand. It galvanises me, and no matter how much work I've taken on recently, makes me feel far less tired.
What's the current state of the art for "I know I use AWS for my 9999-server production instance, but how can I test the majority of my services offline on an airplane w/o spending $199.99/mo to keep a fleet of test AWS servers/services at the ready"?

Last I looked the "fake-aws", specifically "lambda" supported python, not JS/Node, which was not matching my use-case. Go is now on the radar as a usable programming language for this purpose, but what are the chances of being able to also use it with local test deployments?
All the easy questions have already been answered so most new questions are obscure, poorly formed or duplicates.

So does that mean the placement of the overhead light/call button is the same in all of them?

I had an economy comfort seat on a KLM 787 recently and the buttons were affixed to the inside of the seat arm at leg level, and not recessed. I kept turning on the overhead light with my leg all through the night. Infuriatingly poor design. A few mm's more recess would likely have made it much harder to accidentally press.

Overall quite a negative first 787 experience...
China also has a couple potential hubs as seen from Europe.

China Southern (which flies A380 via CAN) and Air China (one of very few 747-8 operators) often have the cheapest flights to Asia these days.
That's unfortunate. But understandable in a way.

Some politicians are guilty of mass murder and war crimes under exactly the circumstance you give. And part of the reason those from more powerful countries are not charged is they have made every effort to put themselves above international law. For instance, Bush Jr signed the Hague Invasion Act - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Service-Members%27_Pr... - to guard against this very risk.

edit - And in your second scenario, that would be negligence causing a homicide. It wouldn't be murder unless there was an intent to kill the hostage.

I'm personally of the opinion that anyone knowingly loaning money to corrupt or oppressive regimes is guilty of everything that regime does with that money, and the people can not be expected to repay that loan once they overthrow that regime. (That's not an issue in this particular case; fighting polio is obviously a very worthy cause.)

Of course when the voters knowingly elect corrupt leaders, it's on them. But unfortunately many countries lack a good free press that informs people about the corruption of their leaders. Or they lack a sufficient education for the people to hold their leaders accountable.

My ex was career military, in the infantry. One day when the news was on and talking about the war on drugs and how we should bring in the military to help with the war on drugs, he commented that it isn't what the world wants. The police are trained to wound you and take you alive. The military is trained to shoot to kill and, no, you aren't going to successfully short circuit that training for some short term assignment as a police adjunct unit.

A kinder, gentler SWAT team is one not actually prepared for the serious situations they are intended to be called in for. If you think that works, you just have no idea whatsoever what it takes to be both psychologically and logistically prepared for surviving and triumphing when facing genuine deadly force.
Again I am not sure that's how social intersectionality is supposed to work. You seems to see it as a relatively simple algebra : women have it worst than men , Immigrant worst than non immigrant so immigrant women have it "super worst". IMHO this is too simplistic, the way social identities blend together can't be predict thsst way. The authors decided to relate her experience as an immigrant, let's just respect that and not try to pull gender into when we d ont have enough information to have a meaningful conclusion
I'm using the archive video room and broadcast plugins, if not for the need for archives and broadcast we would have gone with jitsi because we are a Java house normally but because we need to have scalable archive recording Janus was the only fit besides rolling our own.

Such a novel concept that when we seek to provide health care, we actually pay for care instead of insurance.

Rand Paul made a similar case last summer that if the government is seeking to to provide care for people who can't afford it, it should put the money into care instead of into insurance companies. It would be much cheaper an much more effective.

Note that if you go to the highlighted facility, you can still contact your insurance to pay for the procedure - its just that the doctors in this case are not doing that for you. I've never understood why doctors involved themselves in dealing with insurance companies. It's the patient's company, so the patient should deal with it. If more doctors did this, patients would realize that the real problem is the insurance companies. Market forces might even cause insurance companies to provide better service.
People don't actually value things that way, because people don't work for a wage every hour they aren't doing something else. This kind of calculation comes up all the time when people are trying to "value their time", but the reality is quite different.
This works in my experience only good if you live in a English speaking country where Google is also big (oh the irony). I've tried to use DuckDuckGo but is bad, really bad for local searches in smaller and non English speaking countries.

OK, but when you boot up the device for the first time, does it force you to register it with the Play Store or whatever?

Remember when searching used to be a taught skill? People would learn to use boolean operators to find exactly what they want. Now I'm not sure if any of that even works with Google.

That is a good argument for "We clearly aren't adequately discouraging this bullshit and need to do more to convince civilians this is not acceptable."

I know that. I've talked with people who work on banking systems who have confirmed it.

It's true there are other reasons for the limits, such as the ones you listed, but if you are with say Bank of America, your limit and my limit can be different. The more credit history you've built up with the bank, the higher the limit will be. This is mostly because they trust you more and therefore consider the risk for defrauding smaller.
This is true almost everywhere. What's truly astonishing is that there actually exists a place on earth with cultural norms that encourage disruption rather than try to suppress it. I don't think people really appreciate how historically rare that is.
I've flown to Australia a couple of times now. The first time I specifically tried to book flights on the A380 since I had never flown on one before. The second time I specifically tried to avoid the A380 because the experience wasn't impressive. The only real advantage the A380 had was that the bathrooms were larger.

I'd love to try the 787, but the only real advantage I expect it to have is that they are able to maintain a higher humidity in the cabin.

My perspective from the U.K. is that it’s primarily the swatters fault but the terrible action taken by the police is somewhat “allowed” by US society due to fear of guns being available.

I was trying to figure out how prevalent swatting is in the U.K. and if it could go this wrong. At least here the police don’t have to be as afraid of an armed defence which gives them less of an excuse for overreacting

The alphabet used for a language is bound to be a significant part of the culture belonging to that language. It's going to appear everywhere, absolutely everywhere, all children will have to learn it, all people will have to use it daily, etc. It's not something you can just fuck up and be done with it.

And I get the feeling that this president, how great he may have been for the country in the past and present, is on the brink of defacing it now.

You may be an authoritarian leader, but if you first collect a commission of experts to form a new alphabet, then suddenly push your own idea (ignoring pushback from those experts you selected in the first place) and apparently are not willing to modify your proposal according to what your experts and the public want, you are being a dictator that's making wrong decisions.

I do find it promising that even though a quote in the article mentions that usually all that the president does shall be cheered, this proposal is getting friction from the public. I hope, for the sake of the Kazakh people, that the president will realise that he is in the wrong and will listen more to his people.
