Bulgarian living in USA, here are my 2c - there is Bulgarian yogurt in USA - the one nearby store is the "White mountain" brand. It is a tad more sour than other yogurt but in unpleasant way at all, or maybe I'm biased to recognize it :).

I'm ashamed we Bulgarians haven't done better marketing of it as it is really good and superior than Greek. Everyone knows about Greek yogurt but nobody knows about Bulgarian * . I love Greek yogurt too, but the reason it's so thick is that it is strained.

Bulgarian yogurt derives its thickness and structure from the fermentation process, and good yogurt should not fall off if you
turn the jar upside down.

* - at least in USA, in east Asia (Japan, Thailand in my experience) the most popular brand of yogurt is named "Bulgaria" and is in every 7/11 or supermarket.

Oh, great questions and I didn't even know about this being a thing, thanks!

It's in a big new development and is a townhouse. A few have been built and are progressing through phases. I get to pick a few layout options so I think they are treating it as a new construction?

Being able to interpret around your words does not make your words inherently better.

You aren't honestly trying to sift out clueless prospective employers out by their ability to parse a title, are you?

The advice here is to put focus on ability to write software, and experience using python as a tool to do so, rather than implying that your ability is limited to python.
I NEED HELP
Hi there! This is Mai from Quezon City. This might sound strange, but I want to know if there is REALLY a computer program/software that can decipher someone’s thoughts, control somebody’s mind, and manipulate someone’s actions? I have a suspicion that someone is using this thing! She is a woman from Bicol (She is originally from Nabua, Cam. Sur and is now residing in Naga City). Please let me know… I need your HELP! You can reach me at 0917 4627 266. Thank you!!!!!
FWIW, this has gotten better. It used to be that you could only use the Xcode simulator when developing iOS apps and had to have the $99 developer account to put apps on real provisioned devices. Now you only need to pay to put the app on the store.

> once those ice caps are almost gone, the temperature increase will be unrestrained

No, it won't. Even after all the ice is melted, the heat capacity of the Earth's oceans is huge. Plus your "heat lamp" analogy is a very poor one, the changes in radiative forcing at the top of the Earth's atmosphere are tiny compared to the total heat coming in from the Sun.
I don't really understand what you're trying to get at. That just sounds like sour grapes from someone who didn't totally grok that what you do on company time belongs to the company.
We had a similar thing on eBay recently. My wife wanted to buy a book about marketing and she found it on eBay for a cheaper price. She ordered the book and when it didn't arrive she contacted the seller. The seller told her, "it's in the mail, but here, have a PDF version of it just in case". Obviously the book never arrived.

We're obviously pissed about these practises but I'm even more pissed off that there isn't even a decent way to raise this with eBay. Their feedback system is purely designed to go around in circles..

Ah also one thing that I wonder in Packer is versioning. Since in docker we can tag every release of the image, we can somehow do versioning on that.

1. How is the versioning in Packer?

2. Also, do you have plan to adopt docker image/ other containerization pattern even if you already used packer for 3+ years? Maybe you have different use cases for adopting docker?

This is a really good article. Couple of comments:

* Intel is dead man walking. They've been coasting on superior process technology for years, and now they're being attacked on two sides in the datacenter: From ARM many-core chips like this, that have 50% of the performance per core, but 4x as many cores for about the same price and TDP. On the other side, you've got NVIDIA. The Volta has something like 9X the memory bandwidth of typical Intel server CPUs. This is starting to get used in databases, and of course they already own deep learning.

* libjpegturbo is a great choice if you need fast CPU JPEG encoding/decoding. It's a very near drop-in replacement for libjpeg, and it runs about 2x faster, mostly due to AVX/NEON optimizations.
The second definition might be a site like 4chan, where signing a post via tripcodes makes the cryptographic signature visible to users, and people quote other posts by referring to the post number, possibly even the same as the post id in the database.
I wouldn't just call it an internet stereotype. Have you tried investigating this yourself? It should not be hard to find articles, Youtubers, and bloggers discussing this. Or have you lived in Japan, or have many Japanese friends?
In relative terms, going from 1% to 2% would be a 100% "increase".
>What will probably happen is that companies will move the background check step ahead of the interview step.

The cost of doing interviews to screen candidates is much lower than background checks. Why would a company want to do that step first?

You were probably downvoted for taking the position that you are the judge of what other people need, but besides that error, I think you bring up an interesting point.

It is an uncomfortable truth that we have yet to really contemplate as a society.

Consumerism ISN'T sustainable, and society will grow to a point where we are going to see seemingly fundamental systems start to crumble beneath the sheer weight of consumption.

We have to be willing to ask "should we?" in addition to "can we?"

As a user of mail software, I don’t want the client determining what to show or not show against my wishes.

I’m organizing mail sent to me. 10k text files. The last thing I want is to debug why search isn’t finding the message because some vendor 4 years ago flagged their invoice with an expiration date.

This is not a function that as a receiver of email I want. So they can make a new protocol that I don’t use instead of overloading email.

Also, it’s a bit scary for some of the slippery slope possibilities. Will my filesystem do the same? The last thing I want is DRM checking every file.

Stuff on my machines is my data. If you don’t want me to have it, don’t send it to me. Etc etc.
Experts Open Letter Slamming Europes Proposal to Recognize Robots as Persons
> I think most modern programmers prefer explicit destructuring and taking an element from a collection by its key rather than excplicitly traveling node links using car and cadr.

Then they'd be happy with Lisp from 40 years ago. Common Lisp (which was not the first to have either feature) has DESTRUCTURING-BIND (as well as some other constructs like extended lambda lists and within LOOP) where you can use destructuring, and it has generic sequence functions that work on more than lists like MAP, REMOVE-IF-NOT, REDUCE, etc, as well as lookup functions for getting things out of key-value maps (list-based or not) by key, or from sequences by index. Explicitly cdring down lists is mostly only done in introductory textbooks.

It feels like a lot of Clojure advocacy is written in terms of this "Lisp before Clojure" strawman of some minimalist Scheme subset. Lisp has had arrays, dictionaries, records, etc (with literal syntax and proper accessors), as well as destructuring and generic sequence functions, for almost half a century (more than half a century for some of that). Whether or not you prefer Clojure's syntax for those things, Lisp had those things long before Clojure existed.

SEEKING FREELANCER | Toronto or Remote

Hi all, I'm looking for a freelance web developer to assist me with overflow work.

Project types include static websites (sometimes hooked up to a cloud-based CMS like Dato CMS), Vue.js clients, and Wordpress sites (if that sounds like a red flag I don't blame you but using Timber with WP is actually pretty great and some clients demand WP because they're so familiar with it). The bulk of my work is with reputable design firms so there is a very high standard WRT front-end implementation.

Project ownership depends on what we're both comfortable with, either giving you full ownership with my oversight or tag-teaming and you keep track of hours.

Ideally looking for someone in Toronto for the occasional meetup, but open to folks from other locations. Send me your resume, portfolio, and standard rate and I'll be in touch!

True Facts About the Mantis Shrimp (funny Too)
"Monopoly on violence" is a term with a lot of history. I'm using it in the same sense as Max Weber, where the state is defined as the "human community that (successfully) claims the monopoly of the legitimate use of violence within a given territory."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly_on_violence#Max_Weber...

All the critiques on this thread about competing authorities such as local law enforcement, the second amendment, and so on, none of them invalidate the idea of legitimate use of force defining the state. Weber accounts for all those points.

The closest thing we have to an actual marketplace among authorities wielding violence is the competition between jurisdictions (one municipal police department against the one the next town over, the state police in one US state vs another US state) -- but that's not the same as a commercial marketplace.

The only critique I think is relevant is the idea of mercenaries, a.k.a. private military contractors. But there again, those mercenaries are part of the military-industrial complex, which is an extremely stunted marketplace as it's largely a government monopsony.

We don't use economic competition to determine who holds authority on the legitimate use of violence. As a consequence, we don't get the full benefit of marketplace competition in maximizing the efficiency of our armed forces -- but we also don't have perpetual civil war.

Political speech (AKA news) is the most protected speech.

Wow. So worried about their own self image they attack the NTSB as if they were worried about theirs? What a PR travesty. Then they go on to say their self-proclaimed safest cars in the universe should be above suspicion or investigation. If I ever wanted a Tesla, that ship has now sailed. I cannot support this level of thoughtlessness. This is not the way to make the world a better place. Step up and take responsibility, or at least stop issuing half-truths to the media as facts.

Even with all the custumer antagonizing anti-repair bs, I did not expect this from them.
The single strongest indicator of the inflection point where a giant company begins to implode is when the CEO is hauled into Congress and people start talking seriously about anti-trust and breakup. Standard Oil, A&P, General Motors, IBM, Microsoft, etc, etc. Bigness breeds inertia, arrogance, myopia and abuse. The only way to make a "monopoly" last is with strong government protections.
> One of Go's biggest strengths is that anyone can pick up the language and be somewhat productive in it after a week.

And then what? They find themselves duplicating the same code again and again because Go doesn’t provide good abstractions to reuse code. Or that they write a ton of code to do what could be achieved in a few lines in a reasonable language.

You learn the language in a week because there is not a lot to learn. Shell scripting is simple to learn as well, but nobody is building anything beyond short scripts using it.

An ideal language should allow the user to be a productive after a short time, but should have have enough power for advanced users as well.

One of the things I hate the most about Go is that source code generation is considered an acceptable solution to many problems. Perhaps I should go back to C — the preprocessor can be used to generate code as well as anything. In fact, the predecessor to C++ was a preprocessor used to generate C code that simulated C++ like behaviour.

Most current FR systems are required to operate through existing camera networks - organizations do not want to replace their existing cameras networks for the addition of FR. Those cameras have issues with illumination dynamic range - meaning an easy mitigation is to wear one of those baseball caps with blinky leds on them, as well as some eyeglass frames have (fashion) leds on them as well. Those small lights cause the camera to adjust for the brightness of the leds, causing the face to have reduced dynamic range - enough of a reduction to make FR on faces captured in this situation to be highly unreliable, if a face can be recovered at all.
You and I lived a different history then, because if what you're saying is true, then ActiveX should have been standardized.

I think Apple obsesses too much about secrecy and attributes too much of it to its success. Except for the iPhone launch, almost nothing they've launched hasn't been leaked ahead of time, and yet, it is still the most valuable company in the world and their sales are through the roof.

It seems they are still pining for that "shock-and-awe" of Steve Jobs original 2007 iPhone introduction, but don't realize that's no why people buy Apple products these days.

Think of the negative repercussions of this. Creating a hermit kingdom, with chilling effects where people worry about collaboration with the outside world. It has certainly had some effect on the ability to recruit AI researchers.
I believe it's definitely the later.

To be fair, that is also a reason why they would have a motive to spread misinformation about what they believe motivates leakers, since information about their beliefs on that matter give target nations clues to both actual vulnerabilities and CIAs likely means of attempting to exploit them.

There is evidence to support kefir's benefits[1], but that doesn't prove it's healthier than yogurt. The primary difference between the two by my standards is that kefir cultures are both bacteria and yeasts, and yogurt cultures are typically only bacteria. There are certainly some yeasts that have been shown to be good for the digestive tract[2], but there are certainly others that are not[3].

I agree that functioning social systems and reduced inequality seem to have a huge positive impact on quality of life compared to the US. In addition to health care (which you mentioned), the quality of public schools also seems to be much better on average than in the US. And unlike in the US, where the quality of schools can vary dramatically by the neighborhood you live in (i.e. Palo Alto vs. East Palo Alto in the Bay Area), the quality is fairly consistent between richer areas and poorer areas.

Houses are also much more affordable to own in Japan. Interest rates are around 1%. Tokyo is doing a good job of keeping up with demand, and a single family home in Tokyo can be purchased for under $500k compared to millions of dollars in SF or NY.

These things matter when it comes to contentment. I may not be rich, but I can own my own home, my kids can get a good education, crime is very low, we don't have to worry about going bankrupt if we have a medical emergency, there are amazing public parks nearby that I can visit, good service wherever I ago, etc.
There are large categories of things I don't buy anymore from them now (namely: expensive stuff not manufactured by Amazon themselves) that I know about co-mingling inventory. It's still in the early days of awareness about this, but if they don't change anything, I'm not likely to go back - odds are that it gets worse before it gets better.

I'd be fine with 3rd party sellers if I could simply ignore them. When I can't trust stuff "sold by Amazon" if third parties also sell it, though...
This article is obviously a jumping off point kind of article. Most people using linear regression have never even heard of things like ridge regression. So I like the article.

However, there are at least two types of regression I'd add to the list, and a suggestion.:

1 Multivariate Distance Matrix Regression (MDMR; Anderson, 2001; McArdle & Anderson, 2001).

2. Regression with splines

3. On polynomial regression, add mention of orthogonal polynomials.
