"The United Kingdom should be cut off from Europe.[9]"

"Ukraine should be annexed by Russia because "Ukraine as a state has no geopolitical meaning, no particular cultural import or universal significance, no geographic uniqueness, no ethnic exclusiveness, its certain territorial ambitions represents an enormous danger for all of Eurasia and, without resolving the Ukrainian problem, it is in general senseless to speak about continental politics". Ukraine should not be allowed to remain independent, unless it is cordon sanitaire, which would be inadmissible.[9]"

"Russia needs to create "geopolitical shocks" within Turkey. These can be achieved by employing Kurds, Armenians and other minorities.[9]"

"Russia should manipulate Japanese politics by offering the Kuril Islands to Japan and provoking anti-Americanism.[9]"

"Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States to fuel instability and separatism, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists". Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics".[9]"

From "Foundations of Geopolitics" by Alexandr Dugin. Putin has repeatedly cited his works and the book is used as a textbook by the Russian military.

What's interesting is that these execs, including the founder/CEO got renegotiated packages just before the IPO.
> Previously I read that DNN is just as content to fit random input as it is to fit meaningful categories of input.

That's not exactly right. DNN's can memorise randomly given labels, but it's harder than learning real data, because real data has more regularities.
It's easy for people to make assumptions about others -- pattern matching is a survival skill. When people have assumptions made about them, sometimes they become self-fulfilling prophecies.

The author of this essay, a black woman, learned from her family how to run pattern interrupts on people so she doesn't get stuck in the pattern.

[...] I was miffed, as only an
only child could be, about
sharing my mother’s time with
the neighbor girl. I must have
said something about why we had
to do this. The Vivian, as I
called my mother, fixed me with
a stare as she was slipping on
her pearl earrings and told me
that people who can do must do.

"people who can do must do" - this is a constructive philosophy for getting through life, a local version of 'a rising tide lifts all boats'.

I learned, watching my mother, that
there was a price we had to pay to
signal to gatekeepers that we were
worthy of engaging. It meant
dressing well and speaking well. It
might not work. It likely wouldn’t
work, but on the off chance that it
would, you had to try.

I'm dealing with gatekeepers at the moment, except the ones I'm trying to convince to do their job are rather inaccessible. Maybe I am learning the value of persistence.
You may joking about it, but ML researchers use all kinds of strategies like this one in order to perform what they call _data augmentation_.

In particular for computer vision tasks, creating a perturbed variant of your input images (slightly warped, flipped, mirror, what have you...) can do wonders for the generalization performance.
Just turning on the --strict flag gets you most of the checks you want in a clean codebase.

The Gogoro model is really cool and I would love to see it expand to cars. I’m just providing an example of why people might object to the idea.
I moved our projects to ts in early 2013. Back then there where no strict null checks (imo main feature of any modern language) and typesystem was in infancy, but still it was totally worth it - our team could reason about code and nothing broke at runtime.

Now ts come long way. If your start any js project - start in on ts. And by god - enable full strict mode.
Wait.. in one sentence you claim Toyota's "soul" is something good to desire for, and in another sentence you claim it just means the car will handle like Camry.

I drive a F80 M3 right now, and I very much would love to see how this car drives since I love, love the GT86 suspension/steering tuning. In fact the GT86 has better steering than my M3, so if this Supra is like that it would be very attractive to me.

If anything, a car with BMW drivetrain and Toyota motorsport's chassis/suspension/steering is exactly what a lot of people would want these days, since BMW has a big lead in engine tech (especially turbo 6) and Toyota did such a spectacular job with GT-86's chassis/suspension/steering. Hell, if BMW supplied their turbo 4 cylinder to the GT86 imagine the success it would have had.

The open/closed principle doesn’t say that. It says classes should be “open for extension” (usually meaning you are able to inherit from them and add functionality) and “closed for modification”, meaning you aren’t able to change internal implementations.

It does not say “everything should be closed by default unless explicitly marked otherwise”...

I am not sure what exactly does that prove or show? Once there was slavery somewhere we can not talk about how slavery evolved and got big elsewhere?

Since it was in Rome, it was not profitable in south? Or which of my points is invalid by slavery being in Rome too? Julius Caesar basically committed genocide and that is Rome, therefore we should not analyse origins and philosophies of contemporary genocides?
It's not surprising, but highly necessary because you might otherwise learn too little about structural features, and too much about unnecessary things such as the background colour of some objects.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on what it means to be “an African writer”
Good hotels also overcharge for parking, have slow, sketchy WiFi, charge $10 for a bottle of water and every person you encounter requires a gratuity. I like hotels but they can be annoying and everything in the hotel is overpriced and designed to squeeze your wallet. There is no excuse for a bottle of water that costs $10 when the same bottle at the 7-11 outside sells it for $1.99. Even worse are hotels that charge a mandatory “resort fee.”
Ha, yeah, I can imagine :-/

Red Capitalism: The Fragile Financial Foundations of China's Extraordinary Rise
I believe it is a user's right to know and verify what a specific piece of software does to his data and machine and adjust that behaviour if needed. For that, they need access to the source code.

I believe it is a user's right to share the software and configuration they use to help out their neighbour and for that they need to be able to share copies of the software.

Lastly, I obviously believe it is a user's right to run the software wherever they want.

So yeah, free software is a right in my opinion, like freedom of information and free speech. Unfortunately, not many companies care about it (yet).

You're also right in the point that DDG not setting OSM as the default map provider won't actually hurt OSM, really. But it does piss me off a bit when a company always talks about how "privacy friendly" and "open source" they are yet they completely dismiss the (related) freedom aspect. Because "privacy" and "open source" are just the buzzwords the media is talking about.

Does DDG not know about freedom? Does DDG not care about freedom? Why? I know they probably have a good reason for that and good intent in what they're doing but without having an answer to these questions, it just looks like they're grabbing the low hanging fruit sometimes.

Brexiteers keep saying the Remain camp put out lies, but whenever pressed for facts they can't really come up with anything substantial. In contrast to the lies the Leave camp has spouted, which are documented. The pioneers of the Leave camp actually got the hell out of politics when they succeeded. How does that inspire confidence..

So, please, show me how the Remain camp has lied in order to influence the referendum.
> To understand the Chinese economy you must understand that there are really two Chinese economies. One mustn't confuse them with each other:

>> “There is a parallel economy that is geographic as well as politically strategic. This is commonly referred to as the economy “inside the system,” (tizhinei 体制内) and from the Communist Party’s viewpoint, it is the real political economy. All of the state’s financial, material, and human resources, including the policies that have opened the country to foreign investment have been and continue to be directed at the “system.” Improving and strengthening it has been the goal of every reform effort undertaken by the Party since 1978. It must be remembered that the efforts of Zhu Rongji, perhaps China’s greatest reformer, were aimed at strengthening the economy “inside the system,” not changing it.” (p. 8)

> Westerners often describe China's explosive economic growth as a product of its export sector. This sector, however, is not "in the system":

>> “The private export oriented sector suffered massive losses in jobs, earnings, and the closure of small companies in 2008 and 2009. But China’s banks were not exposed in any material way to this sector. It is simple fact that China’s financial system and its stock, bond, and loan markets cater only to the state sector, of which the “National Champions” represent the reddest of the Red. These corporations, the heart of China’s state owned economy, are “inside the system.” The private economy, no matter how vibrant is “outside the system,” and in fact serves the will of the system.” (p. x)

>"A 1910 best-selling book, The Great Illusion, used economic arguments to demonstrate that territorial conquest had become unprofitable, and therefore global capitalism had removed the risk of major wars. This view, broadly analogous to the modern factoid that there has never been a war between two countries with a MacDonald’s outlet, became so well established that, less than a year before the Great War broke out, the Economist reassured its readers with an editorial titled “War Becomes Impossible in Civilized World.”"

It's worth noting that both Serbia and Ukraine had McDonalds. Hell, even Panama had a few when the USA invaded them.
Higher doses of acid and bad trips result in intense pattern transfer. In my youth I've had the ink boil off the page as I wrote, confusion as to how many people I am, and one time I couldn't understand cause and effect for a few hours. There really is no UI for people that don't comprehend the arrow of causality.

There is a woman at my mother's home. She had run a company, now she's in an advanced stage of AD. She wanted to pitch an idea to me to see if I would go into business with her. It was something that went around and around and around and it looks at you. Eventually I figured out that she had been looking at a rainbow windmill on the balcony and had transferred that into some cosmic invention.

Her other idea was for a place where people could meet to work on ideas and build electronics. Especially for young women. That's a makerspace ! I found one in high Wycombe and considered contacting them to see if any women makers wanted to visit this fascinating old woman.
What if the facsimile does all of those things? My initial reaction to the example was, "so what"? The guy _knew_ there was a cow but was wrong. The fact a _real_ cow existed behind the fascimile is irrelevant. All knowledge is contingent and relative. How could it be otherwise? What if 100% of all cow facsimiles ever displayed in the past were displayed on a farm with real cows--would that alone be sufficient to justify an inference of a cow nearby? To say that a belief is _justified_ simply begs the question--how can you _really_ know the truth of something?

In the scientific method you can never prove hypotheses, you can only disprove them. 'nuff said.

I find the Gettier problem entirely uninteresting myself. Someone elsethread explained it in the context of technical discourse in philosophy, in which case I could maybe appreciate the issue as a way to test and explore epistemological theories in a systematic, rigorous manner, even if for many theories it's not particularly challenging to overcome.
This hasn’t been accurate for at least 2 years.

- Use the —noImplicitAny flag to prevent implicitly using any (and if you really want — I don’t think you do, but you can — completely ban any with TSLint)

- Use the —strictNullChecks flag to promote null and undefined to explicit types

Or, use —strict to do both of those and more.

The post should probably link directly to this, much better than the article. More concise and with more information.
They aren’t “extracting wealth” from communities any more than Booking.com does. In fact, AirBnB creates wealth. A person renting out a room on AirBnB is economically better off than if they didn’t.

Of course, the "UK Citizens" are not citizens, but subjects. Of a monarch. Whom they also did not vote for.
Your definition of rationality sounds a bit weird. All currencies should be valued at zero, which currently are you pricing those currencies?
my background is physics, but I have been reading and following AI papers for many years, without actually applying this knowledge.

I have an idea I wish to try out regarding word embeddings, and I am looking for either a minimalist or a very clearly documented library for word embeddings. With minimalist I do not refer to simplest in usage, but simplest in getting acquainted with the underlying codebase.

I have no interest in becoming a proficient user of a commercially relevant library, since machine learning is not how I earn money. But I can imagine one of the more theoretical courses on machine learning has a code base for students to tinker with. i.e. where the educational facet of how the word embedding algorithms work is somewhat prioritized over the commercial relevance and computational efficiency facets. Do you know of any such minimal implementations?

The idea concerns objective bias removal (potentially at the cost of loss of factual knowledge), so if it works it may be interesting outside of word embeddings as well...

EDIT: the only functional requirement I have of the codebase is that given a corpus, it can generate an embedding such that the classic "king" + "woman" - "man" = ~ "queen" is satisfied. the only computational requirement I have regarding computational efficiency is that it can generate this embedding on a single core laptop within a day for a roughly billion word corpus. any additional functionality is for my purpouses overcomplicating. So I am looking for the simplest (well-documented, preferably in paper form) codebase which achieves this.
Look at how quickly Cameron resigned after the vote. He wasn’t truly interested in finding a good deal, he was relying on the fact that people would vote remain regardless. I’m guessing due to the remain result in the Scottish independence referendum not long before.
Also the idea of the attack in the article sounds stupid. Don't know why this is getting the upvotes.
A Tesla is a fast luxury car, not an enthusiast's sport car. They're never meant to see a track, and 0-60 is of almost no importance there. This car is competing with the Cayman and C7 Corvette, or a Miata with a lot of money for parts and tires.
So you're not going to apply the "if it's free, you're the product" logic for DDG as well?
Well, the idea Valor is proposing here doesn't sound much more likely to work than your scenario.
Light can't pass through walls, people or other opaque objects. So you'd need an unobstructed line of sight between the transmitter and receiver.
I am tired of this whole blame the Russians for OUR stupidity and our faults. Unless the Russians sent armed thugs to the polling station to force you to vote for Brexit/Trump/<insert enemy here> at gunpoint, the fault lies with you and you alone.

Acknowledge that. Blaming the Russians to avoid having to face the uncomfortable truth is only going to hurt you in the long run. Avoid that while you still can.
If this is true, my DNA is so healthy.
How do you "infect" a .torrent file? Sounds to me it's more like tricking people into running a .exe
I guess we are bothered by different things. I don't mind that the projector lights are bright when they are actually shining straight at me, because that is usually brief and predictable so I can avert my gaze momentarily. It's the off-axis glare that continues to bother me when the car is not pointing directly at me.

In my opinion, many new cars are very comfortable with sharp cutoffs on their lights and almost no off-axis glare. They may be blinding if you're about to be run over, but from the next lane over or at normal windshield height, they are quite tame. But others are terrible and most seem to fall into the categories I mentioned above: obvious aftermarket disasters with bright bulbs mismatched to the optics, older cars with hazy lenses, and people using fog lights (or high beams) in totally inappropriate conditions, throwing light everywhere with poor cutoffs.

I'm actually starting to wonder how much of the problem is an aging population trying to compensate for their failing eyesight by blinding us with high beams and fog lights.
I am just observing. It’s very impressive for Russia to be the essential force behind all major opposition movements that apparently are not rooted in legitimate concerns.

Apple has more than enough money. More than they'll ever need. It's actively employing strategies to avoid taxes. I think they can afford to do some public service from time to time, even if it means (in absolute numbers, massive) losses (if you don't count the value of having done something good for the people).

I'm not saying Apple does nothing for the open source scene. In fact, they're maintaining some important projects (like WebKit). But when you have billions of dollars that you don't know what to do with stored in some offshore haven, you could do a bit more.

A perpetual ponzi scheme will go on forever, because there’s always a endless stream of people who think it’s the person in front of them whose the sucker and not them. That is, even when people KNOW it’s a Ponzi scheme they will still play the game.

That’s the crypto market. Each coin is as close to a perpetual ponzi scheme as you can get. The coins won’t be worthless until there is only a single sucker left.

Again, you cannot simply throw away the investments that car manufacturers have thrown into making their gas (or diesel) dependent vehicles.

The market could do exactly that, just as it decided to throw away investments in film cameras, vacuum tubes, CRT monitors, steam engines, etc.
I think you’re just staying at boring hotels? If I’m travelling somewhere I’ll actually try and find a unique hotel/property - I consider it part of the experience itself. I never get the “we can go for cheap option because we’ll be visiting the city/area”.
After all the fees the nicer AirBnbs usually end up more expensive than nice hotel.
(Two sites I sometimes use for hotels that are still in the relatively affordable category and not just for ultra wealthy - slh.com and Relais&Chateaux)
I said "probably" because I don't know (I do see plenty of comments suggestion fear mongering about things that wre supposed to have happened by now like recessions, loss of food, loss of medicine, etc). My comment is about foolishly getting hung up on the rhetoric (and assuming voters are too stupid to see through it) instead of the real issues both sides have. Sadly, the response was back to getting hung up on the rhetoric more or less proving my point.

You don't need to be a professor to know that sooner or later anything will fragment or "reshape" itself. Just learn the last 2000 years of history.

I think that what the OP is saying is that it's way too easy to always blame it on someone else when actually it's the voters' responsibility. We are definitely influenced by media, however, ultimately it's up to us to decide who to vote for, so it's our responsibility. Ignoring it doesn't make us less accountable.
