I think it's deeper than that. Lots of religious people don't go to church. Many who go, do it just because of habit or some personal principle of "I'm church going Christian".

Churches are not drawing people in, not even their prime focus group. Despite indoctrinating kids from the crib.

The few mega churches that actually work, are obvious scams. Jordan Peterson doesn't go to church because he doesn't feel like the preacher actually believes in jesus.

There is something deeply fucked up within Christianity that makes it difficult to sell. I can't put my finger to it.

> Note that Prop 13 largely passed because 1) people were concerned about seniors being forced out of their homes and 2) the informal practice of property assessors undervaluing the homes of seniors resulted in a perception of unfair and capricious assessments. LVT is a radical move in the completely opposite direction.

Indeed, it's in such an opposite direction that I think LVT is illegal under Prop 13. You're welcome to try repealing that one…

If you are behind a glass windshield it should not matter all that match (glass is almost black for UV [and infrared]).
At least I have never had issues with similar glasses.

The contact lenses contain a photochromic additive that adapts the amount of visible light filtered to the eye based on the amount of UV light to which they are exposed

That should be "it's just grating" ;-)

It's not quite the same as sheep/sheeps. Saying "there are 2 sheep in the field" is fine but saying "there are 2 Lego on the floor" still sounds a bit weird. You would have to use "there are 2 Lego bricks on the floor".

It's because Lego is an uncountable noun, like rice or sand. E.g. "there are 2 grains of rice on the floor" is fine but "there are 2 rice on the floor" is not. Saying "there are 2 rices on the floor" sounds very bad, and is the equivalent to using "Legos" instead of "Lego bricks".
They are also entirely voluntary - which the EU would've known if decision makers had visited their browser settings once.
Just got a rejection. No issue will keep building.
The lenses (like glasses) darken based on the amount of UV light to which they are exposed. Car windows usually have some UV filters so such lenses don't usually darken much in cars, even in bright sunlight and don't usually pose a hazard when suddenly moving to dark areas like tunnels.

However, it might be different if you're driving in an open-top car, which would expose the lenses to UV and cause them to darken much more.
The farm land was ruined in 1950, not in 2018. That's when it was all paved over to build single-family houses.

This is the very definition of "super user" at some of the financial institutions I've worked at: someone who knows the traps, pitfalls and quirks of a highly complicated and fragile system that _mostly_ works.

This was probably an automated script and just a precaution from Apple. I think it's safe to use the name JavaScript. For me JavaScript is ES5, eg before 2015 and EcmaScript is the new JavaScript from ES6 2015 and onwards.
so many offices on huge ballots

City Council and mayoral seats are usually voted on odd-year elections with short ballots.

Those elections are generally low turnout as well, so the YIMBY types should find it easy to have an impact if the broad electorate is on their side.

Well, already you have "loads of people" claiming that kobe beef is better than regular beef (or that the black iberian pig is better than other kinds of pig). Yet, since meet from those animals is expensive, in practice the vast majority of meat doesn't come from these species.

It can be identical with synthetic vs natural meat. Price can make the difference, and we can still reduce massively the amount of livestock we breed (e.g. make the farms more environmentally-friendly through regulation)
Thing is, why would Western Union want to buy the debt unless they knew who A is and if they have any hope of collecting from them? This would probably only work if A was a known entity, and generally trusted to have the money they signed over. But if they are, why do we need Western Union at all? Just have C go to A to ask for the money. And if A is an publicly-known entity that exchanges signed amounts for the underlying currency, they're essentially an Exchange.

Combining this, you essentially get GNU Taler: https://taler.net/

No proof-of-work, just a way for people to get digital money (representing USD, gold, or anything else) issued by A (Exchanges). And rather than regular signatories they use blind ones, so that A doesn't even know that B spent its coins on C.

Your post prompted me to check my own Even Viewer. After some frenzied searching for the meaning of "Remote Desktop Services" entries in my own logs I figured that alarm seems to stem only from unfortunate naming of events that LocalSessionManager drops. As this document describes[0] and after confirming with another account the events are generated when one account wishes to run a processes under another account ("Run as administrator/different user" functionality). It might be that Windows Update triggered this on your computer, consider also that Windows Update sometimes updates third party drivers and one wouldn't expect they follow all best practices.

Of the vehicles that completed the DARPA Grand Challenge and the DARPA Urban Challenge, how many do you think used LIDAR on their vehicles?

I'll tell you: 100%. Out of 11 teams finishing, every single one used LIDAR.

And I'll tell you why too: With LIDAR you need much simpler algorithms, and that directly translates into fewer bugs, meaning fewer instances of your vehicle crashing into stationary concrete barriers on clear days.
Cool site! I recently made a plugin to turn WordPress into an academic labbook and found that the ecosystem is so, so full of absolute rubbish. If a plugin isn't immediately and continuously bugging you to buy the pro version, it's modifying core WordPress look and feel (either admin or public facing pages, or both) in such a fundamental way that it is an eyesore. No, I don't want your crappy little plugin with grammar and spelling mistakes to have its own top level menu on the admin dashboard.

In my plugin therefore tried to do things properly and avoid changing too much core functionality. It would be great if your site could review plugins on that sort of criteria.

It's an odd analogy. Musicians frequently advance by learning multiple instruments and genres. Your drums example is good, and there are lots more. Piano's a very common instrument to start with, because it teaches you a bit of everything: rhythm, melody, harmony, coordination, sight reading, and leads easily into learning music theory, and musicians on all instruments often have a piano background. I don't know a single concert violinist that isn't at least competent at strumming out a few chords on an acoustic guitar. Woodwinds players often follow a path of increasingly difficult embouchures, e.g. recorder -> flute -> oboe.

And learning varied "easy" pieces is exactly how anyone practising one instrument advances! The whole grades system used by the RCM is founded on that idea. What's "easy" to you at the time increases slowly with practice, but you learn a variety of pieces in a variety of genres that's at the level you're currently comfortable with.

If someone's going to pick an analogy, they should make sure it doesn't support the exact opposite of the point they're trying to make.

I had Bose for a long time but now bought a much cheaper pair on Amazon (TaoTronic brand, £35). They work surprisingly well, without music voices are already much quieter and with music (on low volume), I cannot hear someone calling my name even when they're close to me. It's by far better than the 3yr old Bose NC headphones I had before (I can imagine today's Bose are at least on the same level though).
Do you think city planning commissions are partisan? I'm pretty sure they follow the will of their constituents who show up to meetings - and if you've ever been to one, those people are rich, white-haired, and big fans of the status quo.
No. You’re not providing your Facebook cookie to the third party site. So, there is no way to associate your identity on example.com with your Facebook profile.

Think of it this way, if you have an authentication ticket, such as what is in a session cookie, then you have access to your account. If someone intercepted that ticket / cookie, they could maliciously act on your behalf and play around on your Facebook - just like you. Your browser therefore doesn’t send cookies to domains that aren’t specified as trusted by the originator of the cookie; I.e. third parties.

So example.com and Facebook wouldn’t be able to associate the two identities.

What if we made HEPA filters in cars mandatory in such a way that every car ‘clears out’ the smog it creates plus some extra (won’t help for all the coal burning). We could then throw out/recycle the filters once in a while and at least compensate for traffic related smog.
I would correct that, for physics at least -- "theory" is just an explanation for something. "Law" is an experimental observation that holds true, but doesn't provide an explanation. E.g. Newton's laws describe macroscopic non-relativistic motion pretty well, but do not explain motion. The theory of relativity, on the other hand, explains the description of a bunch of physical phenomena, and also has lots of evidence behind it.

I doubt it. Where this has happened is where people get confused and call other things by the name.

Adobe is worried about protecting Photoshop as people use the word as a verb for editing photos in other apps. Kimberly-Clark is worried about protecting Kleenex as people use the word as substitute for other tissues (at least in the U.S.) And Velcro is worried about protecting their namesake (it’s a hook and loop).

People don’t typically confuse other scripting languages or web technologies for JavaScript. The reason Oracle cares here is not to protect the JavaScript brand. Instead, it’s to protect the Java brand, which people do confuse with other languages (or at least with JavaScript).
I have used Mailtrain and it's a simple alternative to Mailchimp (that I also use at work). I want to recommend Sendy, though, that costs around $60 for a one-time license and uses AWS SES for sending out mail. I bought it recently and am quite happy with it. Support indie developers!

I have this laptop.

The beauty of it is that it is unashamedly bad. It is the humblest of laptops. The body is a direct copy of the 13" MacBook Air. As a computer, it is at least as usable as a Raspberry Pi. The teardown photos are hilarious because the motherboard only takes up about 1/6 the internal space. The rest is empty.

It comes with Ubuntu 16.04, but there are other distros available that work to varying degrees. Since Firefox Quantum came out it's actually pretty usable for web browsing.

Features:

* It does in fact turn on.

* It boots surprisingly fast, since it is running on flash memory.

* There is an HDMI port, which may work in the future.

* The battery life is fantastic, due to it's meager CPU.

* Most have no more than 2 dead pixels.

* You can charge it from another computer's USB port.

* Potato quality camera.

* It costs less than a replacement battery for my ThinkPad.

If I'm understanding you, the "delusional" part was calling Tokyo buildings "tall"? What you describe Tokyo as, 4-5 story buildings, IS tall by local Bay Area standards. In fact, to those who harangue planning commissions and set zoning standards, 4-5 stories is horrifyingly tall, and something that is fought against.

You are not downvoted because you are inconvenient to the narrative, but because you seem to be misunderstanding the discussion.

Similarly, you seem to misunderstand this:

> You probably couldn't pass a rule like this in San Francisco itself, let alone the entire state.

because passing a bill in San Francisco is orders of magnitude more challenging than passing it at the State level. Local decision makers are incredibly vulnerable to small voting blocs, whereas State lawmakers are more free to serve the entire community rather than a few special interests. And that's what happened last year when Jerry Brown pushed hard on more housing and a ton of affordable housing bills were passed. Impossible at the local level, but possible at the state level.

Calling this "grandstanding" is kind of an outrageous interpretation too. It seems to reveal a huge bias. Do you think he didn't want this? Did you think that it wasn't an honest attempt? He sacrificed a ton to rounds of amendments, and it was still a close committee vote.
I think you're making a bigger deal of the negative effects of "noise" than it is. If anything, it at least helps spur the discussion about tracking and grow awareness.

Comments like "sigh" are not at all constructive, and I would encourage you to consider not being immediately dismissive to people who at least try to do something about problems you care about.
That's not about a demand. That's about being client-oriented.

If your dishwasher breaks - you can easily find a company or a guy who will do the repairs. Same should be here. Apple doesn't want to do it? Okay, but there should be no problem finding a 3rd party who will do the job. And the whole problem in this case that you simply can't find one because of all Apple's "we won't sell you parts\we will void your license" etc bullshit.
Mental healthcare, drug decriminalization, effective rehab, actually affordable and/or donated housing, actual comprehensive-integrated social work and criminal justice reform would make more lives better. But when some rich, sheltered people callously suggest “others” are dirt in need of “cleaning,” it’s abhorrent. Fuck the tourists, they’re tourists.
> How did you get into contact with Schmidhuber for co-authoring? What stage was the research at when he joined?

The first time I discussed this topic with Jürgen Schmidhuber was at NIPS 2016, when he gave a talk about "Learning to Think" [1], during the break at one of the sessions, and we kept in contact afterwards.

> Were you expecting the net to generalize from dream to reality, before you wrote the paper, or did this materialize during experimentation?

When I tried this, I didn't expect this to work at all, to be honest! And in fact, as discussed in the paper, it didn't work at the beginning (the agent would just cheat the world model). That's why I tried to adjust the temperature parameter to control the stochasticity of the generated environment, and trained the agent inside a more difficult dream.

> Do you expect this approach is also feasible for more difficult games: higher dimensionality, longer delayed rewards?

I expect the iterative training approach to be promising for difficult games with higher dimensionality, where we need to use better V and M models with more capabilities and capacities (we can already find many candidates for V/M already by looking at the deep learning literature), and still train these models efficiently with backprop on GPUs/TPUs. Using policy search methods such as evolution (or even augmented random search), allow us to work only with cumulative rewards we see at the end, rather than demanding a dense reward signal at every single time step, and I think this will help cope with environments with sparse, delayed rewards. Even in the experiments in this paper, we only work with cumulative rewards at the end of each rollout, and we don't care about intermediate rewards.

> Both congrats and thanks for writing this very accessible paper. Really found this a creative paper with a lot of inspiration, and the presentation of the results was marvelous. (BTW: I remember you from the RNN-volleyball game. Back then you had quite some jealous detractors, telling you DeepMind would be too difficult/academic for you. You sure shut those people up!)

Thanks! The RNN-volleyball game from 2015 was a lot of fun to make. Back then, I trained the agents using self-play, with evolution, and I remember people telling me I should really be using DQN or something back then. Fast forward a few years, self-play is now a really popular area of research (for instance, many nice works from OpenAI and DeepMind last year), and evolution methods are really making a comeback. I think it is best to work with something you believe in, and sometimes it is okay to not pursue what everyone else is doing.
