You can make this point about these "side effects" for other countries as well. You will find plenty of commentators making the point that the US' War On Drugs has effectively been institutionalizing racism against blacks in the US, like the ACLU [1] or individual civil rights scholars calling it the "New Jim Crow" [2]. Others even claim that it may have had roots in a motivation to target "blacks and hippies" [3].

Whatever the reason, statistics describing the outcome of legal disparities between crack and cocaine in the US [4] seem to support the claim that the US justice system and drug laws in particular tend to reinforce racism and social exclusion.

Whatever the war on drugs was supposed to achieve, it certainly seems to be achieving something different altogether.

> “We thought that we got away with not a lot of warming in both the ocean and the atmosphere for the amount of CO2 that we emitted,” said Resplandy, who published the work with experts from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and several other institutions in the United States, China, France and Germany. “But we were wrong. The planet warmed more than we thought. It was hidden from us just because we didn’t sample it right. But it was there. It was in the ocean already.”

Agreed. It's my biggest gripe with traditional server-side rendered apps versus SPAs.
Good thing it doesn't produce more heat, their Lexan sheet would start getting very soft above 150C!
6. Pre-rendering is a complete mess. Yes, if you try to pre-render Hello World application it will do fine. But in real world examples your main menu, for example needs to pre-render only the top links and not deep-links. Good luck doing that kind of stuff in Angular or React. Also Express on-premise pre-rendering of dynamic pages is terribly slow, 2 seconds to load an website if you have serious application.
There is a gwt version but I’ve never used it.

Yes in some cases we had lots of test cases. But that’s just a result of the sophistication afforded to us. Yes SPAs enable the sophistication but citing that as a weakness is like claiming that a car is worse than a horse and cart because there are more mechanical parts that can go wrong!
This is also true if people keep their devices longer — which seems to be the case from what I’ve been seeing. The low end now seems to be previous generations phones like 7/8.

The operating system can offer QUIC on top of UDP the same way it offers UDP on top of IP. BSD sockets aren't necessarily the ideal way to use QUIC but there's no reason you couldn't use them.

Researchers have even repeatedly built Linux protocol modules that do TLS, either all of it, or the encrypted record layer (so the bulk but not the tricky negotiation decisions at the start). There's just a new TLS protocol you ask for instead of TCP and then the kernel handles encryption and so on.

Lets be fair, from their point of view Cupertino is the center of the universe. Northern California is relatively sparsely populated, which is why they tossed that in and why they skipped the more challenging bits of California in the south. No offense, but from what little I know about Eureka, it is a smallish provincial town stuck somewhere in between the Seattle/Portland area and SFO. And as such, one of the larger settlements you'd encounter on the way from one to the other.

Going from there to country wide, continent wide, and ultimately global coverage is going to take a lot. Apple certainly has the financial means to do so. But it's not necessarily going to happen this decade.
Capitalism requires growth (or more generally, increased consumption of products/resources), so stagnation is bad by definition.

You both are right! We basically mention ICA/sparse coding as prior work on waveform front-ends for source separation.

Our method is supervised, and we did not explore the unsupervised learning approach. However, some people are doing that! Check S. Venkataramani and P. Smaragdis work! https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=hCSSNZwAAAAJ&hl=es&...

Although we did our best via comparing against DeepConvSep and Wave-U-Net, I agree that it would be useful to properly benchmark all that!
Shaders are not the API. If there's truly a need for it, people could come up with a more C++-style frontend for generating SPIRV for Vulkan.

The average tech reporter for a public service broadcaster most likely does not know the difference. How often do you read mainstream tech reporting and find yourself complimenting the journalist on their insight and factual correctness?
Doing it the "naive" way would be: for every object that needs to be rendered like this, loop through all the lights and find the closest 3 of them. That would be O(n * m) where n is the number of lights and m is the number of objects. If you have hundreds of lights and thousands of objects, it's not insignificant, especially since you're doing it on the main thread.

I had to do this for a Unity game which had a similar "custom" light solution, and on lower end devices it was a problem. It was easily solved using a simple spacial data structure, but doing it the naive way did present some issues.

It does seem like htmldoc doesn't support CSS which is going to be a blocker for a lot of people.

Pandoc is definitely worth considering but I didn't include it as I believe it just delegates it's PDF rendering to a configurable engine like LaTeX, weasyprint or wkhtmltopdf.

I don't have a dog in this fight re: spin, just playing the word game.

"consistent" for a positive spin or "steady" for more neutral. "Flat" is fairly uncharitable but also on the table.

For example, I suspect one's wife would rather know her beauty has been "consistent" over the years, rather than "stagnant", despite technically both meaning "stayed the same".
I misread that as maggots. I recall reading that the heat generated by a mass of maggots causes them to break out in to smaller groups. So my initial thought was whether someone had figured out how to fry an egg by harnessing that heat.

Shaders are part of the API, they define what the GPU is supposed to do with a bunch of points and textures.

History proves that alternatives to official APIs always follow the CoffeeScript path, the only difference is how fast they eventually die after the initial hype.

As we're talking about serious (though not entirely un-ludicrous) experiments concerning dead fish, I'm not going to miss an opportunity to post this video of a dead fish placed in "fast flowing water" (it's actually a tank with a jet and an outlet, but the effect is much the same).

Which way do you think the dead fish will move, upstream or downstream? Place your bets now.

OK, but could you model Twitter in TLA+ and then would TLA+ be able to find inconsistencies in the model given that you relax certain assumptions?

Can TLA+ direct you to which of the caches is being incorrectly invalidated given that you have provided that 10% of the servers online are still using the old version of the software?

That seems interesting, but haven't yet played with TLA+ enough to know that.

Rogue extensions are the Achilles Heels of browsers, yet the ramifications aren't understood by the average user, who happily installs all sorts off addons and extensions. Frankly I'm surprised more sensitive information hasn't already been stolen/harvested all these years. This is why I run my browser with no extensions with the sole exception of uBlock Origin.
Off the top of my head, I know of two big and complex pricing engine projects in production. One is the Marriott one I referenced in a previous post. Scott Grimes spoke about it at GraphConnect 2016:

a trend over the past few years at large (>1$bn revenue) b2b and telecoms companies; teams in those organisations working on newer projects or initiatives start with the premise that the UI will be rewritten again in 3-5 years, and design accordingly. Maintenance concerns of that part of the project, for good or bad, melt away.
Well... It would have been nice if they warned people earlier because it is quite a big thing to happen.

A possible reason why someone running a website should care about keeping stuff up is to avoid link rot, to me it feels like part of bejng a good Internet citizen is to ensure that a change to your website doesn't break other websites or links where possible and reasonable. (if people want stuff removed, then that's fine though).

However, it might be that it's too expensive to even just keep stuff up, so fair enough, but if that is the case, I feel more warning would have helped a bit here.
Regarding performance: have you seen Roi Lipman's RedisGraph presentation (https://www.slideshare.net/mobile/RoiLipman/graph-algebra)? GraphBLAS is elegant and very promising. There some benchmarks comparing RedisGraph to Neo4j and others at the end of the slides. I would love to see Dgraph benchmarked against RedisGraph the same way.
Any deviation from a series of full-connected layers represents some assumption being made, usually to reduce the size of the parameter space to a subset that is considered more promising.

Convolutions are one example: they assume that proximity correlates with a logical connection.

Note that this is a very useful assumption. Just shuffle the pixels in a photo and try to discern what they show to see how much we rely on that assumption. In fact I'm having trouble coming up with an obvious counterexample[0].

So let's not fall into the trap of these armchair scientists with the big spliff, staring into the distance and intoning trivialities with the air of revelation: "Man.... you're just a slave to your assumptions. What if, like, space and time are one and the same?"

In fact, one could argue that all of AI is an endeavour to find abstract rules defining what's "trivially obvious" to us. You don't have to explain to children that objects in the distance are smaller than when they are close.

Once you succeed with that, it's possible that ML can find a sort of post-modern reality. One that we are blinded to for cultural reasons and the structure of our perception: what if God, for example, appears in the form of seemingly random "pixel errors"? You would easily miss her constant presence due to all the error correction in the pathway of your perception (and also your camera sensors).

But that's the future. Just as art often flourishes within the confines of (often arbitrary) limitations, so do we. And embracing these limitations is not done for reason of ignorance, but expedience.
You probably wan to look at Voat, then. It's the go-to home for white supremacists and people who really dislike fat people, but it provides you with a free-speech zone, if that's your thing.

Is very interesting that you mention that! Actually, we used source separation to remix music to improve the musical experience of cochlear implant users!

Basically, music perception remains generally poor for cochlear implant users (due to the complexity of music signals). In order to simplify music for them, we remove the accompanying instruments to enhance vocals and beat (drums and bass), that is what they perceive the best.

This was a nice source separation application that helped many people! :)

What are you talking about that there is no right to free speech in Europe? You are completely incorrect.
Well the equivalent of the FAA has been privatized in many other countries to great success; Canada is a success story there. Education in this country has improved how since the origination of the DOE during Carter's term? Seriously?

Look at the most expensive issues that affect America and you will find the government interfering at all stages of that industry, whether it is health care, higher education, lower education, and more. How bad has the VA been and for how long. Do you think a privately run system would not have been fined to death over that?

One reason to privatize some of these services is because we can hold them accountable where we get the brush off by government sectors. Corporations are fined all the time and made to adhere to regulations the government excepts itself from.

The simple fact is, we can find fault in every implementation however government is the least likely to be changed. It doesn't actually report to anyone while at the same time supposedly reporting to everyone.

To be said another way: certainly you can figure out a compression algorithm for any one set of data by being clever and taking your time, but that algorithm will not apply to a general case and would be worthless. If you go about finding patterns in a random string it is unlikely that another random string will have those patterns.
The lounges are the main benefit for me - especially at LHR where there is hardly any seating in the main concourse!

Another thing though about Avios is BA's constant errorsion of benefits. Every year or so they send out an email saying 'we asked our customers and they said they wanted more choice', followed by saying they're removing free drinks and meals, reducing the hours hot food is available in lounges etc. I'd respect these decisions much more if they were honest and said 'our shareholders want us to cut costs!
