2.RBMs are good only for certain situations like explicit ratings (where users provide direct feedback), its a really hard problem in implicit recommendations (which are most sites). See Bayesian Personalised Ranking Algorithm.
3. >I'd argue that the logistics of shipping perishable food is significantly more difficult than streaming an audio file. Thats exactly the point. I am not measuring hardness. But that looks a supply chain problem that a software engineering problem.
For me, the main problem is, it takes forever to sync when you switch devices after really long chat session on verified chats.
(I live in the USA.)

I have two credit cards (and one debit card, but I only use it as an ATM card to get cash, since you're still out the money until a problem is resolved). I mostly only use credit cards for online purchasing and gasoline -- because to pay cash there is inconvenient. And yet, I see to experience some kind of credit card fraud about once every couple years -- this is primarily why I have two credit cards, there's always a backup.

And besides that inconvenience -- changing all kinds of saved payment info when a card is replaced, given the extent to which (at least in this country) banks are free to share incredible amounts of information, you don't have to have "something to hide" to be interested in not sharing your entire purchasing history with these entities.

I have only flown past what I believe seemed to have maybe been a drone (honestly, it could of been a bird but I swear it looked like a drone to me). I was taking off out of the Tampa airspace at about 1k feet AGL. If the drone did have ADS-B out, it might not give me the precise location to where i can do a 200' flyby, but just like any other aircraft avoidance, I could steer clear of the general area where it's at and at least know that there is something there.

My experience with ADS-B has been incredibly positive, I fly frequently in-and-out of the Tampa bravo, being my home airport and love the situational awareness. Sure it's not perfect but seems to be reasonably solid.

The biggest risk of having ADS-B is probably assuming there is nothing else out there if it's not showing up on traffic.

I'm not an expert on this matter, simply a consumer of the tech as a pilot myself. Regardless, it's interesting to listen to other pilots take on ADS-B. = )
Yea, but that's too much to ask from all teammates.
As a serial MOOCist I cannot single out any one so here is a list per domain.

I am sure I have forgotten others

MOOCs have changed my life, financially and in other ways. I thank all the people involved.
Perhaps you missed this part: "But an opinion poll this month revealed unease among Swedes, with almost seven out of 10 saying they wanted to keep the option to use cash, while just 25% wanted a completely cashless society."

You might be cashless within your little tech circle, but it appears there are many more people who are uneasy with the idea.
If it's not possible without induced death then is the concern really the "death requirement" or whether it makes sense for consumers to gamble $10k+ that in a future you a) will not die suddenly, b) your brain will not have deteriorated significantly, c) you are fully capable of making a decision to die, d) the company is still around, and e) the science somehow works out to allow "brain uploading"?

Then yes I say there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. It's their money and their body.

An electric drive train has far fewer parts than a typical piston engine in a car. From that perspective, it's simpler.

But Tesla insists on putting in all sorts of clever electric doodads like electronic door handles and side mirrors and power windows that have to pop down 1 cm to open. Watch the youtube clip above, it's hilarious.

Even if a GM or Ford gas car has more parts than a Tesla, GM and Ford have, what, almost 100 years of experience each engineering cars.

That would be cool. I am a little OCD when it comes to monitoring. I can be perfectly patient with a slow computer as long as I know why that machine is slow. But if a computer goes slow on me and does not offer me any way to find out why it is so slow, that drives me mad.

So if the lighting in the PC reflected the components busy-ness, that would be really cool. "Why is my PC so slow today?" - "Aaah, the hard drive is shining white - I/O overload!"

Anyway, my PC has a window-less case, so all that beauty would be lost like tears in the rain...

I've just tried – it doesn't appear to work if the phone handset is offline.
Well for starters, the Surface Book starts at $1500. The 10.5" iPad Pro with keyboard starts at $800, and the 12.9" with keyboard starts at $1000.

A better comparison would be the Surface Pro, which starts at about the same price as the 12.9" iPad Pro with keyboard. However, that configuration has a core m3 processor and 4GB of RAM. I'm pretty sure the iPad Pro will outperform the Surface Pro pretty handily until you get a model with 8GB of RAM, which will put you back about the same price as the Surface Book ($1500).

If you can point me towards a two-in-one that's half the price of the 10.5" iPad Pro with keyboard and performs as well, I'll be very impressed. $400 dollars doesn't buy a lot of computer. Even if you can find one, I'm 100% sure you won't find one that has the same build quality and battery life that the iPad Pro does.

I'd also be impressed if you could point be towards any non iOS tablet that works just as well as an iPad. Using iOS on a tablet is far, far superior in my opinion to Android or Windows. Android has nowhere near the app selection and Windows still feels like you should be using a keyboard and mouse for most things.

The real issue here, though, is that more and more people have absolutely no need for an "actual computer" and so they don't care if the iPad fits that definition or not. For some it's actually a negative because of the added complexity.
> However, we definitely have heard about this issue, and we have a feature in the works to allow you to "load up" your account with an arbitrary amount of pre-paid cash

At last. I actually did abandon B2 over DO's Spaces due to the lack of this feature, despite the far more competitive pricing on your end. That, and the lack of AWS API support, but that was mostly related to my particular use case, which was the need to mount cloud storage as disk partitions using s3ql which mainly supports AWS, OpenStack and compatible services. It does have preliminary B2 support [0] but it was really hacky and I ended up losing data because of it.

Having a prepaid credit option and the option to use PayPal for such payments like DO does would have tipped me towards Backblaze's favor to the point of trying to fix s3ql's B2 support, though. ;)

As I've mentioned in the post above, telegram simply does not have "secret chats" available on Desktop.

So, if you use Secret chat on mobile and go to desktop, you'll not see it!

Switching back and forth between secret and not secret is troublesome especially when the other side doesn't know if you are on desktop or mobile to check availability for secret chat.
Depends how you measure I guess. If you insist that you need to wait x years and then count how many people were brought back against how many weren't, sure, there's no measure...

But you can break the question down and look for evidence about each step, it's not going to be a precise measurement but you can at least start estimating your belief certainty (as well as introducing bounds -- I don't think anyone's justified in a 90% certainty of coming back at this point, but nor do I think there's justification that it's as low as one in a billion). I've always liked http://www.overcomingbias.com/2009/03/break-cryonics-down.ht... as one approach to turning the problem into multiple conditional steps.

First of all, a lot of people will self-identify as liberal or conservative, which usually lines up with whether or not they tend to support Republicans or Democrats. They're not incredibly loaded terms.

Yes, he is.

No, he doesn’t. He’s an investment banker, and he mostly blogs about the consequences of Putin’s external politics (i.e. the ongoing wars in Ukraine and Syria) for Russian economy.

I don’t know what happened to that group.
Interestingly, you took the same path I did with Scala and ML. My criticism about these courses is that some of the projects and content can be too easy to get right, skimming on the surface in some areas that would need more time to grok. Lately I've moved to Udacity and there I can find more in-depth projects and discussions with virtual classmates. The price is steep but you pay for what you are getting.

Not necessarily. It can point to different distribution of priorities between sexes. E.g. if women prefer to dedicate their energy to family and house, while men prefer to work more, it makes sense that men would earn more. If we quit assuming we all want the same thing and actually ask people what they want, we may actually learn something. There are studies that do ask this kind of questions and get interesting answers, and my complaint is that this study is not actually one of those, it only appears to be that on the surface.

Not necessarily. Not even in Nevada.

If you go to a legal brothel in Nevada, it doesn't show up on your credit card with the brothel's name. It shows up as some bland innocuous looking generic company name like "ARB, Inc."

You understand correctly.

The editor that's part of the project produces, rather than a single structure, a recipy for program construction (or, depending on how you look at it, a history of program construction).

The other parts of the tooling then utilize this history. For example: static analysis may be turned into incremental static analysis (telling you _when_ you made an error in addition to _where_).

Ultimately, the goal it possible to have programs reason about their own history ("historic meta-programming")

> Information is power, and if principled people sacrifice their access to information, then unprincipled people will hold more of the world's power.

What if access to information necessitates handing over information about oneself, which gives other entities power to influence one? Eg: One can browse for information, but companies will track browsing activity, and use that towards targeted persuasion.
The fee is a bit higher than 0.3% (which only is the regulated interchange – there are a few other costs as well) but the rate was decided upon after evaluating the cost of cash transactions (which aren't actually free – consider insurance against robbery, time spent counting every evening, transport to the bank, bank fees, and similar).
There's a reason you see this in legal cases: If you don't introduce claims and/or defenses at the beginning, you can't add them later. (Yes, you can amend, once or maybe twice. You can't do it repeatedly.) So you raise all the arguments you will use, and all the arguments you're going to have to fall back on if those fail, and all the arguments you're going to have to fall back on if those fail.

For a recent example:
APIs can't be copyrighted.
And if they can, it was fair use.
And even if it wasn't fair use, it was de minimus.
If I have a Smalltalk VM and I'm only talking to other Smalltalk VMs then a native Smalltalk solution without the foolishness of using CORBA is preferable. Its just an insane bit of added plumbing.
The Odersky's course is phenomenal. Highly recommended and it shows how much attention and craftmanship was put into designing Scala. Bonus: Martin speaks like Arnold and it's very enjoyable to have a "Terminator" voice teaching you complicated material.
Not a cryptocurrency course per se, but Dan Boneh's course on Cryptography[1] is an excellent introduction to most of the building blocks of cryptosystems, including the technology underlying most cryptocurrencies.

In terms of level, it is more than a little technical (programming exercises in both cryptography and cryptanalysis await you!), while still remaining far from rigorous (compared to, say, a graduate-level cryptography text).

Thank you, it is interesting to have feedback on those subjects ! Sorry it is going to be a bit long, but you raised interesting points that I don't always have the oportunity to discuss :

* Even if I build a insanely good native VR browser there will be (a lot of) people who won't have it on their devices. This is why at least from a business perspective, for the moment it is far better to have a link towards an experience people can use rather than a link towards a native/desktop app that if downloaded can open an experience.

* I think that in 2018 it is important to have a "responsive" VR experience. It should go from a basic non-VR 3D experience (smartphone) to a full fledged high-end immersive VR one with everything else in between (So yeah GearVR, Daydream and Oculus Go).

People with any device should be able to take part, to interact, to share. My take on graphics is not that it is unimportant but rather that it is not what is lacking in current 3D content. Plus with some polish WebVR can deliver a decent graphical experience. Don't get me wrong : Beautiful is important. It is photo-realism that is not.

* I meant too elitist to use for authoring but you talk about it in your next point, so I will answer to your point about technological evolution. Before having people to buy high end VR hardware and the gaming rig that goes with it, we have to give people good reasons to do so. Gamers have obvious incentives, but most other people currently don't.

First we have to give social content interesting to non gamers and it has to run on their current hardware or they won't really use it. Then by interacting regularly with people with headsets, people without VR headsets will gradually convert into VR users. Then as VR users, they will have incentives to get better hardware. Then with better average hardware there will be competition on software features (graphics, interaction, ecosystem etc)

We still have the (very hard) first step to pass first. Web browser did not start with WebGL: they figured out text first, then layout, then animations, then media etc...

* This video is sweet, this is the future. And agreed about both "VR Wiki" and "VR Wordpress"
OK, so interpreted you correctly, but it didn't work on my instance. Fair enough - not really worth pursuing, but worth being aware of.

Thanks.
To add to this, Clojure benefits strongly from being a Lisp. The language syntax itself might change once an ice age, and even then libraries can extend it with macros. Old Clojure code will very likely run with the latest version.

Clojure(script) benefits as a compiled language as well. If Clojure 2.0 suddenly discovered Postfix notation was the GREATEST THING EVER, my 1.6, 1.8, and 1.9 projects and JARs are entirely unaffected. They could even run side by side, from the same interpreter version, without so much as a shrug of concern.

> (not even counting various versions of clojurescript!)

That made me laugh! Clojurescript should use a date stamp as the incremental version.
Are you suggesting we not save lives so that we can avoid some unrealized fear of overcrowding?

Suppose humanity attains indefinite life spans in the near future. Would you then advocate murder in order to save space?

Should we outlaw antibiotics because they save lives, and those lives take up resources?

I find this argument both unimaginative (improving technology changes the nature of our challenges) and repulsive (it's advocating murder through inaction).

Running distributed like that always has a cost, both in inefficiency of the compute and in person-time.

If you still can run on one machine, it's almost always a win. 32Gb is a perfectly reasonable amount of memory to expect. 64Gb isn't outlandish at all for a workstation.
I don't believe we could ever see any kind of system 'approximating consciousness' without a body. Full stop. Dualism is wrong and there is no mind/body split. The full state of the brain, simulated perfectly, would perfectly reproduce the experience of a brain in total sensory deprivation paired with total whole-body paralysis. Even just sensory deprivation alone is enough to cause consciousness to entirely evaporate in moments. Add in whole body paralysis and no, you can never hope to have anything approaching 'consciousness.'
