Most top conferences are double blind, meaning that reviewers cannot see who authors are and vice-versa. So in theory it does not matter if you are professional researcher or not. However in practice, its almost trivial to identify a paper written by amature vs someone who has gone through the graduate studies. So if you want to get published your priority should be to avoid these mistakes. Here are some of things to remember:

* Read a lot of papers with a related work. Unless you have read and understood at least half a dozen of these, you are likely not ready to publish new work.

* Learn technical terminology and make sure how to use it precisely.

* Identify lose, unverifiable statements. Precision and clarity is super important.

* Know the history of the work. Make sure you note folks who came before you. Describe how your approach differs from others and/or builds on other. Failing to cite is one of the top reasons for rejection even for professional researchers.

* Get some theoretical grounding of your approach. Formalize your hunches and intuition in math equations that can be manipulated.

* Design experiments that shows your approach delivers better result than other under conditions you claim.

* Study the layout of other papers, their style and emulate them. Pay attention to how figures, data tables are describes, conclusions are made, claims are stated etc.

I often say that the primary job of researcher is to read papers and stay up to date and secondary job is to make new discoveries. The way developers are supposed to spend major chunk of their time to write code, researchers are supposed to read papers. So familiarizing current state of the art and knowing what has been done before, understanding pro and cons, internalizing techniques, learning related math skills etc must be your absolute top priority for the area you want to contribute.

If you have never published before, writing academic paper is a major chore. It can easily take up 2-3 weeks of your time in ironing out details after you have good results. However publishing paper is also satisfying. You add the knowledge pool of humanity, your contribution can be built upon by others, you get noted as "first people who did X" and so on. However don't expect to build career as researcher - that strictly requires PhD.

On a side note, there are bunch of non-academic or semi-academic conferences which have less rigorous demands. So you can try to publish there as well. I've seen lot of developers publish system design related papers at places like KDD.
> The face surgeons go first. But since organs are precious and face transplants are not lifesaving, if the donor’s condition started to decline, the team would have to abandon its work to allow other surgeons to collect the donated organs.

What exactly is meant with "if the donor's condition started to decline"? How does one monitor the condition of organs in a dead body? What technology is used to monitor the state of organs in a dead body?
So you still use Leo or managed to switch to orgmode? I haven't used either, but have contemplating it. Currently, I'm using CherryTree, which is just okay.
I'm not sure if you've read the article.

> If the primary is lost or stolen, the key should be invalidated

Exactly.

> and thus the backup device is useless.

The article mentions multiple times that the backup is set up in such a way so that right after we use the backup token on some service, the primary token becomes immediately invalidated for this service. Read the article for the details on how it's implemented.
So that's part two of the 6.004 course. I'd highly recommend part one also, at least lectures 3 onward.

The course starts with making analog transistors and tweaking them into handling digital data. Then making gates and combining them into state machines and ALUs and slowly putting together the pieces of a full CPU.

The last third is adding caches, pipelining, virtual memory, multiprocessing, etc. It's useful too.
I've always read it as the ratio being wrong for our eyes - that the light is simply too high energy, and it needs to be balanced out with red light or filtered away. Sunlight, despite having a much higher amount of blue light, also has more light across the rest of the spectrum, reducing the difference and making it less harmful.

The CIA were happy to supply hundreds of millions of dollars in arms to the mujahideen during the 1980s. The US chose to support Islamist insurgents in a proxy war against the Soviet Union and the Afghan people have paid the price for that decision ever since. Many of the American soldiers who died in the war in Afghanistan were killed with weapons that were bought and paid for by their own government. If you believe that the American invasion of Afghanistan was a humanitarian gesture, you have been given an extremely narrow understanding of history.

What I was looking for on the website and think is more than implementing a parser in another language is schema support. That is, you should provide something like XSD for XML, JSONSchema for JSON, TOLS for TOML.

Why? There is a need (see above enumeration) to declaratively specify how an Eno file should look like. I do not want validation to creep into my code, like you do with `document.string('author', required: true)`. This just scares the hell out of me. Say you want to parse some Eno file with different languages, you also end up replicating validation, which mains you end up maintaining it, or rather not maintaining it... Apply leverage by moving validation into your parser.

Another thing is that it appears you are implementing the parsers by hand instead of using a parser generator that consumes a grammar for Eno. What is your reasoning behind this? Is it performance? Did you benchmark using generated parsers (maybe wrapped in a nice API)?
Quite a few companies do. I was involved in creating a predictive maintenance application using neural nets and using a TSDB as data source at my previous employer.

> run ads about climate change all you want, just don't mention any politician by name

France has a similar system. Tight restrictions on mentioning a party or candidate within a certain window before an election. We'd have trouble with that in America, though, because of the First Amendment. It would also shift power to those who can go on TV, attract attention to their blogs and otherwise organically inculcate attention through the press.

> the ONLY person they talk about is themselves and/or their family and people they work with in a positive light. Instead of degrading their opponent

Sometimes opponents need to be called out on their shit. In any case, I become immediately uncomfortable with restricting pure political speech in this manner.

Watson isn't what investors and the general public thinks it is. It's now more or less some classifier/machine learning as a service plus a dev integration team you can hire to pull it into your codebase (which by the way, is lots of $$$) It is not difficult for anyone on HN to spend a weekend, read a machine learning book, and replicate most of Watson's functionality. It's IBM marketing at it's finest.

On Monday, August 6, the stock closed at 341.99. On the next day, the day of the tweet, it closed at 379.57, and remained higher than the Aug. 6 price until close of today at $338.69.

Why do you think the people who would not want to eat spicy food would order Indian food advertised as spicy and authentic when they have lots of other options already? Whereas people who want spicy food are underserved by current options, so selling to them seems like a smart move.

I'm unclear as to whether I'll be able to pipe binary data between a classic console application and a ConPTY application due to the VT translation and rendering components in ConHost.

So, for example if I was to pipe into 7z.exe, a classic console app, using something like "type mybinaryfile.bin | 7z.exe a -si c:\temp\myarchive.7z" from a ConPTY console, would the VT translation affect the piped stream?

There is a subtle concept at work here that many people don't know but which manifests in geospatial data models: the representation you use to shard data should be homeomorphic to the intrinsic topology of the data model. Using cartographic projections is popular but does not meet this criteria, and it does eventually break for non-trivial geospatial data models. A cube, on the other hand, is homeomorphic to a spheroid (like a donut is to a coffee cup) and therefore capable of practically representing much more complex data models.

That said, using a cube projection has its own set of limitations and issues for advanced geospatial analytics even though it is well-behaved for sharding. Current best practice representations embed a spheroid in a synthetic 3-space and shard the 3-space, which has few edge cases to worry about and is very efficient in time and space.
I’m only an EMT, but I can try to answer this for you. The organ donor was brain dead, but the heart continued to beat and a ventilator was used. The organs would stay perfused with oxygen and nutrients and the surgery would be performed as if the donor were otherwise alive. Surgery is inherently risky - risks include spontaneous bleeding or clotting that could abruptly end the organ recovery. I believe this is the situation they are referring to.
I think that commenter may have confused it with the 2-bit-per-cell ROM that it has:

"For example the Intel 8087 used two-bits-per-cell technology, and in 1980 was one of the first devices on the market to use multi-level ROM cells.[9][10]"

It would be trivial to have a Twitter people would appreciate:

1. Strictly a time oriented feed. If I don't want to see someone's tweets I will unfollow them.

2. Rankings in 2 dimensions for 2 scores, each out of say 1000 since with so many millions of subscribers 100 wouldn't be fine grained enough. Then let ME determine what ranking I want to filter on.

Reality is that Twitter is not about free speech or any other high minded ideal, but about manipulation of public opinion.

That all this is happening in the 90 days before the 2018 mid term elections is not a coincidence.
I want to add to this.

I was recently feeling the same as OP, starting to feel depressed, uninterested in doing things or trying things anymore, not interested in hobbies, etc. It was really wearing on me.

I started thinking about it in depth and realized that I came to a point where I kept attempting things (projects, companies, hobbies) but never followed through with them to completion. I would get to a point and settle on the project not being feasible for some reason, and move onto the next thing. This has been a pattern for as long as I can remember, but I kept naively trying, until one day I realized its never going to happen and I felt like giving up.

I ended up seeing a psychiatrist. I know I struggled in college, and in relationships with something like ADHD in the past, but I avoided any sort of treatment. Eventually the ADHD had caused an unhealthy spiral in my personal and professional life, that it was causing depression. I got diagnosed with ADHD and started on medication, and everything has been so much better.

It was interesting once I looked into it, how much ADHD has impacted my life. It comes down to a need for constant stimulation, which caused impulsivity, and things quickly get old, and something else becomes enticing. This endless hunt wore on me. I feel like even just taking the time to read and understand it, has helped me be aware of why I feel/think about things in certain ways. Anyways, getting help and medication has helped, and I feel like I am satisfied with what I am doing and where I am going, and feel like I can actually follow through with goals.

I think a lot of people mentioned this, but getting help and assessment from professionals helps.

IANAL, but it's not illegal for Musk to tweet falsehoods, period, on Twitter -- such as lying about his height -- but it is illegal to disseminate false info that may be used by investors.

Yeah. Security is best learned after creating software for four or five years. Before that you're not going to have enough of the pieces to think about it creatively. Things turn into "rules-games" where everyone else has to tell you the rules. Also, I think studying data science is underrated for cybersec.
As a typical white guy who doesn't handle spice well (two different attributes - put away your pitchforks lol), I'm disappointed by my options at the supermarket. A lot of it is either flavorless tomato sauce or super-spicy, without the rich curry flavor I'd like. I prefer good Indian takeout, and if I had a way of dialing back the spice level maybe 25%, it would be perfect.

How to Quantify a Nurse’s ‘Gut Feelings’
The lack of a strong karma system on Blind(the "likes" are a pretty casual form) makes the advice so good there. With karma, you write for the entire audience to gather points. Without karma, you write to a person. Also the lack of political correctness makes for outstanding real world applicability. I've done a similar comparison with asking about cycling on bikeforums.net vs Reddit. bikeforums responses were far more informative and open minded and diverse, most of all specific to me.

The universities in many European countries, are subsidized by the state because education is considered a human right. Having a proper set of teachers, brick and mortar universities, research, etc. costs a lot more than 1k/year per student. While allowing a 5-10% foreign students is good for the remaining 90% because culture, variety, etc., opening up the lectures to people who effectively do not pay taxes, makes no sense.

This is why in Bulgaria, Cz and other countries you see locals paying low rates while other Europeans paying private college fees.
Given the 3 days between death and operation and the ventilator, sounds like a case of someone in a coma and being declared dead due to brain function ceasing. In such cases basic stuff like heartbeat etc is still running on its own (otherwise the tissue wouldn't be supplied with oxygen and die), so there's still vital signs to monitor.
Your story does not line up with the facts as I know them.

Besides that, yes, as the CEO of a listed company you have a rulebook to follow in case you do stuff that can influence the stock price (positive or negative, it does not even matter).

There is a format for the release of material information to ensure that the stock market remains viable, if you do not follow that format you risk getting the book thrown at you.

So yes, there are all kinds of factors that will determine what if anything comes of this. But Elon tweeting the company was bankrupt on April 1st was irresponsible, this one is just plain bonkers. Either he had funding lined up and then he should have followed proper form anyway or he is completely out of touch and focused on the wrong things.

Too little sleep will do funny things with you.

If you have the kind of plans that Elon Musk does you should probably try to avoid jail time because that might mean your toys get taken away from you.

They seem to have completely capitulated to the notion ptys and are dropping them into the next release of W10. I wish this had happened 10 years ago but hey, I'll take it.
