Human memory is also associative. To retain a fact we usually need to know how it relates to our existing knowledge, a "hook to hang it on", so to speak.
All of these strategies that everyone has listed in response are making me wonder if I might be a bit ADHD. I've implemented a lot of these myself without any diagnosis, just because they seemed to help me with things I found difficult. Lots of other people, including coworkers and my spouse, don't seem to understand that I seriously can't handle certain things without these mechanisms.

A week ago while in Tel Aviv I talked with my colleague which is the lead developer of RedisGraph. He will be in San Francisco at Redis Conf with us and will release exiting news about RedisGraph, currently the development is very active.

California weighs toughest net neutrality law in US with ban on paid zero-rating
And do you think the so-called "Russian influence" and the special counsel investigation have much substance to them anyways? Everybody can see from a mile how charged everything has become in American politics. They drum up the rhetoric on this one simply because they perceive Trump as their enemy and want him down no matter what, even though their "own" candidate might well have done the same thing or at least very similar things.

If this incident helps protect user privacy further it would be great. However I doubt it would happen at all. Most likely they'd just take this opportunity to aim another round of barrage at Trump instead of talking any substance about the issue itself. The purpose of this reportage is political attack against Trump instead of any concern for privacy in the first place.
So if I work for US companies, and I live in Europe, I suppose I will also need to pay additional 3%, right?

You had me on "The field of deep learning...". Sounds seriously scientific to me. What's the next big flashy field? "Deep thought"? Oh, nope, Douglas Adams already covered that one.
I think a college class would have to delve into the topic a bit more.

But given a high school history curriculum being limited they'd have to pick and choose what to cover, and the majority of American kids would end up with the highly distilled, pro-American leaning retelling. I went to high school in the mid-west (Michigan) in a probably center-left leaning (though in the last election probably Trump-leaning) area.
If argue that if you care enough about the content that you'll do more than say "oh well" to yourself if it becomes inaccessible, then researching this sort of thing or (probably easier but maybe more costly in terms of bandwidth use) rigging it up to your existing backup infrastructure is the minimum effort you did make. If you don't you have no high ground from which to complain or blame others from if it going away inconveniences yourself.

If you don't care about it that much, why do you keep it anyway?
If you're going to be creating prototypes, that's above intermediate, so you're looking at a significant investment of time in any case. But Lynda.com videos are helpful, but also look at Jesus Ramierez's videos, Phlearn, or the videos available in Creative Cloud for PS. Photoshop is very powerful and can be used for all sorts of things including video editing. There are so many features that it's easy to get confused if you're trying to just do photo editing, or just do product designs, for example. But I'd recommend diving in and figuring out how to do what your goal is really well and not worrying about the other capabilities until needed or time allows. Of course what it will eventually boil down to is just spending time working in the program. Lots of time.
Now..Where does that put all the research that says vaccines are "safe and effective"..

It can be argued that Twitter is less a for-profit corporation and more a public-benefit corporation at this point.

Considering most EU officials communicate with denizens on it, and that it arguably costs them a far greater amount than what they'll be taxed for, it's hard to argue that they aren't already really paying tax in a roundabout way, donating computational resources to the EU to maintain stability of the Union at a cost to themselves.

They are rivals. They'll smile and nod and but will no way be pushed around by foreign influence.

It's not specific to American imperialism, but to foreign imperialism in the past.
Interestingly, the Gothic rebellions that lead to the sacking of Rome twice in the 400s AD was a direct result of the Romans abandoning their traditional policy of integration, dispersion, and resettlement in favor of abusing and exploiting the desperate Goths. Given a choice by the Romans of starving to death or selling their children into slavery, the Goths chose 'none of the above' and went on a rampage that led to the position as a coherent military power within the borders of the Empire but not truly tied to it.
What's fascinating to me about The Cambridge Analytica Files is the reaction from within Facebook. They seem to be panicking. I've never noticed Facebook reacting so defensively before, regardless of what they were accused of.

The writer even claims that Facebook threatened to sue the Guardian before publication: https://twitter.com/carolecadwalla/status/974995682124804099

Really makes me wonder if there were any other big stories that got redacted pre-publication because Facebook threatened to sue the publisher.
The most visible point I've seen is that the seasonal star constellations you know well (Orion in my case) will be seen as inverted if you change the hemisphere. The moon and sun position also change greatly. I'm not aware of any ideas that incorporate this.

It takes either time or money to see for yourself though.
Ok, but if a working web browser POC is not worthy of a bug bounty reward, because they claim to already know, then what is the point of the bug bounty? Why are they not just paying for specialists to advise them on how to fix this if they have no plan. They don't even listen when you try and try and try to explained what needs to be done. How can a bug bounty fix this?
It may be no Cities: Skylines but it's still a simulation of a city. Seems a fair title to me.
> Post-brexit the French customer will pay customs duty.

Out of interest: Would they? This is an EU law, so that would assume UK kept it after brexit , either specifically or through some wholesale “fork all the trade laws”. But it would also imply a lack of inter-European treaties, i.e. fork the laws but don’t keep the treaties.

I haven’t kept fully up to date with the latest brexit developments , are we far enough along in the negotiations to know this stuff yet? Last I heard it was still a complete s*show :/
Wait that wasn't obvious for you?
I'm not sure the blocking of communism is as noble as a cause it was proclaimed to be.

Most of the anti-communist fear in the US was pointless, and arbitrary. Communism only served as a threat to the US in so as much as it was on paper not what the US adopted, and therefore the US had to be against it to maintain its own legitimacy. But in the end there's not much difference between the US and China (a so called communist country) except that China is less developed and the market is more tightly controlled than the US market. But as you can see China has trended to the mix of market freedom and control similar to that of the US and the world didn't end.

In practice, communist countries were more authoritarian military dictatorships more than anything and if the country did bad things it was more or less due to the regime rather than communism. And the US would have been fine with such regimes at the time so long as it wasn't communist. For example, South Korea was a dictatorship until the 90s.
I believe public libraries are usually happy to accept book donations.
> Until about the mid-90s of last century the Medieval Warm Period was for climate researchers an undisputed fact.

The MWP is, if not undisputed, a widely accepted fact, though of dubious significance; a very slight rise in average global temperatures over a several centuries long period does show up, as, within that long period, do shorter and much more pronounced and non-synchronized regional warm periods.

Global average temperatures in the MWP, though, were notably lower than today.

> The IPCC itself reported this as such in their 1990 report and included this graph.

Maybe, maybe not. Given your misrepresentation on the next one, I'm not taking your word for it, and in any case there is no clear indication of what that is a graph of; it looks a lot like the graph of European temperatures provided in your other link, but with lower resolution and presumably an earlier end date, which of course is immaterial to the discussion of global temperature trends.

> Here is another chart published by IPCC in 1995 it shows both the Medieval warm period and the 1930s as being hotter than it is now.

Nope, that's a chart published by someone else later that claims to be based on a diagram published by the IPCC which (obviously) doesn't show temperatures today at all (1995 is more than two decades ago, and global warming didn't stop then), and, in any case, doesn't show global temperature at all, either, only European temperature. Regional temperature trends don't always reflect global trends. Yes, Europe experienced notable local warming in the MWP and the early 20th century (and dramatic local cooling in the period sometimes called the “Little Ice Age” which, IIRC, doesn't show up at all in global trends and is at least in part within the global MWP, though the warm regions that brought up the global aversge at the time were elsewhere.)

> Since then there has been an effort to erase this data from the record

No, the local trends that the charts you point to reflect are widely acknowledged by climate scientists today—they are, however, local, not global.

> Up your research game my friend

Hey, I'm not the one who offered a chart without reading the caption. Having a good research game is more than just spamming links without understanding the content.
Just googled Demeter tomatoes, wow what a cool fragrance company! Thank for sharing, is this stuff carcinogenic?
It comes down to motivation. Obama is a career politician, but Bannon is an ideologist. The former seeks to get elected, the latter seeks to plant ideas and change the society in a fundamental way. To me, Bannon is much more dangerous than Obama, because he is subversive.

Technically, there might be little difference, but Bannon clearly excels at using this tool to a greater effect, and the result is far more impactful and outreaching, even revolutionary. Guaranteed, other groups will take notice and trying to replicate their success, to feed their version of personalized agenda to your month.
Based on what happened with Android and Open Source, I'd be wary. Over time some of the Open Source core apps and bits of the O.S. (I think?) were replaced with closed source things via Google Play. There was good technical motivation for doing so - it bypassed the slow carriers and allowed users to get the latest updates quicker - but the end result was the same.

I'm also wary of the feed thing to. As well as the data access thing you mention, how does it decide what the "best" app for a task is and do I get any say? Also, I wonder if it will end up with a situation that if you want your content to be available to these users you have to make it available with no control over how it's presented? (You could argue that on the web currently most content producers have messed that up with trackers, ads, etc which is a fair point but I don't know if this is the answer.) If so, whether it's Open Source or not makes little difference to most people trying to publish stuff.
I just had an awesome idea. Lets make keeping records of past information and actors encountered illegal if they don't want you to remember, while at the same time make it trivial for the same people to waste your time by demanding free consulting.
You're paying too much for your smartphone, says MediaTek
Companies can close down offices and move servers as much as they like. They won't though, because the reason they open offices in very expensive European city centres is they get more than 3% additional revenue from doing so.

Similarly, the reason they pretend sales are conducted in a different country from the client, account manager and geotargeting of the ad is nothing to do with the right to publish things accessible to the whole world and everything to do with paying less tax. Content gatekeepers selling targeted European eyeballs to advertisers is at best orthogonal to the utopian view of the internet as a means to share knowledge irrespective of where and by whom it's consumed.

I've heard some pretty tortuous rationalizations for tax avoidance in the past, but inventing an imaginary Great Firewall of Europe so you can be furious at the EU asking your employer to pay a sales tax on ads is a whole new level. :-)

I may be wrong but I'm not sure I get why they put so much emphasis on the getting of the data from Facebook, as I feel that that's really easy.

Can't you just 1. crawl public profiles 2. create convincing fake profiles by mixing around the info in real profiles, and then add people, and progressively crawl private profiles that way? 3. pay app owners to require more permissions and sell you the info, or create your own apps

I guess it's such a big deal because they managed to do it in a way that was legal, on first glance
Ah, no, I'm sorry. I basically never learned how to do it apart from looking at a few pictures over 15 years ago and talking about it a little (experiences of when to use a patch and when just thread is fine for example). A friend of mine taught me how to use a machine but I find that for repairs it's far better to do things by hand.
Most of the things are really easy to figure out with common sense. I bet youtube can help you though. I for myself would rather put my energy into learning how to work with new material, I'm often annoyed by how often old fabric does not hold up and I'm mostly repairing old stuff anyway where a repair does not need to be pretty or long-lived.
You don't need much research when you can just compared the number of people that used to die from illnesses that we vaccinate against with the number of people who die from vaccines.
Very true. All that is good and the way it should be. Markets of ideas are a good thing.

As a citizen of an EU country, I’d prefer to have the choice from as many companies as possible, and to decide myself whether I do or do not mind sharing my data with a company. This will reduce my choices.

I also disagree with you that the EU regulations are a good balance - it’s skewed way too far towards over-regulation.
That is Baizuo logic..

What I don’t understand about this company is how it supposedly uses facebook data that facebook itself doesn’t use for its ad platform. They seem to want to point out that they are smarter than facebook, and therefore are a better choice to do targeted ad publishing through. Why are they so relatively unknown and underused then? Any company could use this data to do better business, and it would be trivial for facebook to compile it. That it would have caused the election to swing seems a little far fetched. If anything, it would have provided the campaign with more than ever information about what the American people really want, and how much they want it. That there is lots of talk and no action is the fault of the campaigning party, not of the system used to figure out what their fellow citizens really care about. Republican president follows a Democratic double term, news at 11?
Another legitimate question is: is the fact that you are willing to pay more a good enough reason to force me to pay more? What if I don't care about privacy as much as you?

That's the real issue here. You can either decide that privacy is a basic right that everyone has and cannot be negotiated away, in which case this law makes sense.

Or you can decide that it's a decision each person makes, and let the market take care of providing options that are more vs. less privacy-respecting.
Baidu release massive self driving dataset
This seems a very important point, if it's correct. It affects so many of the big stories we see in the news, from SV's housing shortage to the widening gap between Republicans and Democrats. It would also mean that Y Combinator making founders move to SV (at least temporarily) turns out to be perfectly aligned with the times.

"The emerging knowledge economy, Mr. Moretti argues, depends on constant innovation, which turns out to be a social process. To succeed, cities need a critical mass of highly educated workers engaged in the regular, often informal, exchange of ideas. Once this critical mass comes into being, it feeds on itself: Innovation hubs attract new innovators in a self-reinforcing process, while areas lacking this critical mass fall further behind.

In the early stage of the information revolution, it was fashionable to argue that new technologies would eliminate distance. People could do creative work in rural Colorado and communicate their ideas anywhere on earth with the flick of a finger.

This thesis rested on an excessively individualistic understanding of creativity. In fact, remote exchanges of ideas are no substitute for the elemental human process of face-to-face communication. Innovators don’t do their work in isolation; they stimulate one another."
There isn't one answer. Just as there isn't for having a social media presence.

The main reason to start a blog should be having something interesting to say, on a regular basis; something that appeals to your market. A message that either converts into sales or (if a service) converts into an impression you know what you're talking about.

The SEO benefit isn't automatic. Just having more pages about something on your website doesn't turn into positive SERP. It only helps if people in your industry share it around, discuss it. And that not only depends on the quality of your message but also how "bloggy" your audience is.

I have clients whose market is furiously corporate and they insist on blogging. It's just such a dry topic, there's nothing but a "we're a real company" benefit, and even that isn't obvious.

And that leads to the biggest issue here. It's often not easy to see if you're wasting your time. It's easy to throw terms like "sunk cost fallacy" around but it really applies here. Plus there is auxiliary value from blogging, some people enjoy writing.

But if your time is finite and not worthless, focus on finding an audience that directly feeds into your bottom line.
> If it’s not practical to exploit, why wouldn’t Microsoft disclose it publicly?

Because of the public?

If someone decides to try make a name for themselves by taking a shot at embarrassing MS/Intel/Linux/AMD/other which do you think will have more affect on public perception: intelligent, detailed discussion about practicalities and real world attack/defense profiles, or loud shouty "but what if" reporting carefully word to be as scary as possible?
Structural engineers are unsung heroes
While there are certainly plenty of people who need more storage than is practical to put in-memory, most people don't. E.g. it's rare enough to find people with single datasets in the 1TB+ range. Most databases I've come across at clients max out in the tens to hundreds of GB range. Many more could be easily split (e.g. they may be multi-TB or above, but are that way because of aggregation of data that is logically separate, such as relating to different customers, and can easily be sharded) - though whether or not that's worthwhile is a separate issue.

So while you're right, for most people it's not going to be a practical problem. Query performance tends to be a bigger problem in practice, and IO bandwidth is often the main cost driver for servers (with NVMe SSDs providing so much additional IO bandwidth that they often pay for themselves several times over by reducing number of servers needed for people who insist on "traditional" disk focused databases), pushing server costs into ranges where spending more on RAM but needing fewer servers to handle the IO load, is more and more often a good tradeoff.
Blood is a renewable resource so I see no problem in making it a market product, with the proper regulation in place of course.

As for hoarding money you are misunderstanding how things work. Money hoarded are usually reinvested somewhere else and does not sleep in a vault or something. Even your bank is constantly investing the money you save on the market. Thats how you can finance companies and startups in the end.
