As a game designer (on the side) I definitely wouldn't want to give up control of balancing my game to some third party item creator. Items balance is too game specific for this to work unless you're just taking the name and some general type and implementing your own take on it, in which case I don't see much point.

I'm a bit confused here. The (vast) majority of the people who you are calling "Independent Contractors" are actually "Vendors", ie. employees of 3rd party contracting firms.
Why is injection a problem for a magic healing elixer? Not one person with a severed tendon would ever say "I'd love some help knitting this baby back together so I can walk again, but injections, that's just not going to happen"

So you are OK with all those employees losing their job because the government decided the minimum wage was too low? How do you justify calling those businesses "under-performing"? What is the limiting principle here? How do you intended to evaluate the next proposed government intervention? Is it enough for you that that there are good intentions regardless of the consequences?

I propose that we ban all fast food restaurants. They obviously aren't good for us. Let's make room for more interesting businesses. Think of all that valuable real estate that can be repurposed!

Next let's limit the amount of soda and alcohol you can purchase or maybe just ban them entirely since they are unhealthy.

And let's force all "under-performing" businesses to close shop. Those resources should be redirected to more healthy businesses! Obviously the business owners are incompetent since they are "under-performing". We need to make sure these people aren't burning through their life savings in their "under-performing" business.

Carbs are bad for you also, as is meat protein so let's ration the amounts you can purchase or maybe require producers of these products to be licensed and only allow them to produce the "right" quantity of these products as determined by the "government".

Where does it end?
The point is that you are using a different type of device to cross check the reading from the first. In the case of the faulty sensor, it sounds like they are using the same type of device therefore conditions that impact the effectiveness of that device will likely impact more than one of them.
US expat trying to receive money overseas. US banks won't serve you unless you have a US address. Many lie and say it is illegal. The usual work-around is to establish some kind of US address through a relative or friend. Still ends up being costly and slow to do transfers. Some startups have tried to address it but it is still not very good.

Coinbase like to claim they have solved this issue but it is total BS because they won't let you purchase BTC on their platform without a state ID. Useless for an expat who moved overseas long ago.

But if I need to be paid by someone in another country who can buy BTC then that is usually the best solution for me.

It is a small market so not a driver in the crytocurrency space.

I remember when Mint first came around, and a coworker was telling me about how cool it was. I started completing the the signup process, but I stopped cold once I realized they needed to be provided account credentials from my bank. Never completed it, and never went back to it. I never thought it would last as long as it had. I guess I gave the public too much credit.
You're right. I expect that they're reconciling with their model in JS on every keystroke. I know Quill does an interesting thing where the DOM is the canonical model, and the JSON model is actually derived from the DOM by a strict transformation. Because of that, it works a bit more naturally with many native mobile editor interfaces.

I suppose that many of the injuries would not be survivable before modern medicine, even if that chemical were produced. Major wounds that take more than a few days to heal and impair the ability to hunt would be almost always fatal. Torn ligaments require surgery to properly reattach them.
Neat idea, but I'm not sure the approach of using euclidian distance on what's essentially a categorical variable is valid. Instead try a different clustering algorithm like K-prototypes [1], or Gower distance instead of euclidian.

I would love to use Alpha Zero. The article makes it sound like Komodo (which uses similar techniques to Alpha Zero) could also beat Stockfish (since Alpha Zero beat Stockfish).

Should startups ask for permission or beg for forgiveness?
I never used Inbox as I never had a problem with Gmail, but how were 'bundles' different from creating labels and logical filters that skip certain categories of message past the inbox? Was it just that 'bundles' were more intuitive and obvious to set up, or was there something that made them more than a label plus one or more filters?
We also have numerous laws regarding speech (fraud, libel, slander, threats, incitement, etc).

I'm not sure it is useful to attempt to "rank" individual rights. I think it could be argued that the freedom to enter into contracts is just a special case of freedom of association, which I'm guessing you would agree is pretty important.
I like the LDA one (https://towardsdatascience.com/finding-magic-the-gathering-a...) using non parametric bayesian.

Maybe the problem hasn't been shouted from a high enough rooftop yet.
99th percentile over your average speed across trips it's arguably the most useful number, if you want to make almost sure you're not late.
You can do that in gmail by adding a filter for the messages, and using it to automatically apply a label and skip the inbox.

Actually, one reason I never switched to Inbox was that it wouldn't show you an unread count for labels, so it broke this workflow for me.
Actually, DDG seems to me like it matches yandex results more closely than Google's.

The real way of giving away money, using corruption free ways to needy in India, is to start a business venture that is not so profitable but gives tons of employment, like TATA had done since ages. India has so many people ( even wealthy people are poor compare to Western counter part ) that philanthropic activity does not move the needle much, while business venture helps a ton. I hope indian rich keep not-giving away money and instead keep investing in employment generation.

It's interesting to hear that M.2 was the underdog in 2015. I recently built a new PC and made sure to get a motherboard with two M.2 slots precisely because of the "look ma, no cables" aspect of the connector. Even with SATA.. That's a big advantage in my book.

U.2 seems to be more popular in applications where drives may need to be changed out more frequently, like datacenters.
It's not network effects so much as the strength of the two-sided market they've created. Installing an app and registering is a lot of friction. On either side you'll probably bother doing so for no more than one or two services, which in most situations will cover most of whatever market exists.

But in general the answer is either having a disruptive strategy or else a huge amount of money to woo existing market participants. Most of us don't have either. That's the barrier to entry.
What does that mean it's all over the place now? I also grew up with Schumacher vs Hakkinen, but last season and seemingly this one are amazing.
> US expat trying to receive money overseas. US banks won't serve you unless you have a US address.

I admit to knowing almost nothing about the US banking system, but is it really true that one can't make an electronic transfer using an IBAN (International Bank Account Number)?

I live in Austria and just paid a number of invoices, through online banking, to bank account holders in France, Czechia, Slovenia and the UK. All I needed was their IBAN.

Just emphasizing how important a point this is around the world. I've seen many in the US idealize Buddhism which has a similar view as in Hinduism that good actions in this life lead to a better place in the next [reincarnated] life. And indeed this seems like a really awesome baseline tenet for a religion, but in practice it ends up distorted just as all other 'divine imperatives' do.

As one example among many, a family I've lived with is what I'd describe as friendly, intelligent, and perfectly reasonable. They were also Buddhist. But they had some views I initially didn't understand. In one instance they found an individual with a crippling disability (leading to a sort of very awkward bow-legged walk) absolutely hilarious. In other they found people working in some really atrocious conditions at a fishery as comparably humorous. The issue is that they ultimately felt these individuals must have deserved such fates due to bad actions in a past life. After all, if they did good in their past life they would not have ended up in such positions in this life. So they viewed it as people getting what they deserved.

Never give people a divine righteousness, whether it be in religion or social belief held in a fashion otherwise indistinguishable from religion. They will find a way to screw it up no matter how unimaginably benevolent and harmless it sounds.

Which I think is a testament to the expressiveness and readability of Ruby and Elixir and how powerful some of the libraries are. Once you get past the superficial, they're nothing alike.

That said, I agree that anything you build in Ruby can be done in Elixir and you should be able to leverage a lot of benefit. The reverse isn't true.
Thank you, I did read the article. No, that's pen testing.

Thus, if they do drop the ball in some catastrophic way, your ability to recover anything beyond a firm handshake and maybe an "oops, our bad" on the way to an "Our Incredible Journey" blog post is on the same level of probability as my winning a gold medal in curling at the Olympics: it statistically could happen, but very likely won't.
The only way to be 100% safe and 100% fool proof is to not fly. For a mechanical system as complex as an airplane, triple redundancy with a good pilot is pretty much the best you can hope for.
Or more likely it doesn't really matter, and in a couple years nobody will really remember this about Boeing. They'll go back to being a big airplane producer that has a stunning safety record, which they are despite this issue.

What I miss most is not the auto-bundling, but writing rules to tag emails with a label and the viewing (and archiving) everything that matched as a bundle.

Seems like all the backend that’s needed is built into gmail, what’s needed on the client is knowing which labels to display as a bundle.
Another thing Sci-Hub gets right is UX: I have online access to many papers through my uni, but it takes like 7 clicks, 4 redirects, and a minute of my time to get there -- when the system works at its best! Through Sci-Hub, it reliably takes one click and 5 seconds. Of course that's what I'm going to use.
Softomotive Appoints Guy Berruyer as Chairman of the Board
The general public is extremely myopic and lazy. They will hand over anything you ask for if it means they have to do less work in the short-term.

Convenience trumps all. It's how we've ended up with people voluntarily purchasing, maintaining, carrying around at all times, keeping charged and powered on, their own personal surveillance devices running heaps of software they have no control over.
Every computer, and every program, is a state machine. We invented machine language, and increasingly higher-level languages, specifically to provide a better way to program than making raw state machines.

When you find yourself using a high-level language to emulate, badly, a below-machine-language-level state machine, you should recognize that you are in a state of sin, and ask where you have gone wrong in life.

Thus spake the Voice of Experience.
I suspect that on Amazon's scale, it's probably cheaper for them to toss refunds at customers than to actually fix problems.

Having a first-tier CSR click a dashboard button costs them the 10 cents per month plus 25 cents of labour to pay the guy to read the complaint, find the button, and press it.

Opening a ticket for a well-paid engineer to actually dissect the billing system and figure out where the 10 cent charge comes from, develop a fix, push it through validation and deploy it, probably costs $300.

As long as you have social security number, some banks will do it at least. I chose HSBC USA because I was living in China and they were super used to that.
Would Facebook then start making calls to the police for welfare checks when a user stops using Facebook without closing their account? Surely, something must have happened to the user if they stopped logging in frequently. After all, users don't just stop using the service.
Amid Bitcoin Uncertainty, ‘The Smart Money Knows That Crypto Is Not Ready’
C# and TypeScript make for a powerful combination when developing web-based solutions, with the added benefit of making you flexible to switch over into desktop or server applications. Or, if you're feeling froggy, an entire OS (Cosmos).

Doesn't it feel so much nicer to just focus on the domain problems of new tasks without relearning how to talk to the computer?
You have a huge monstrosity if you or someone on your team is sloppy. I guess you’ve never seen a Drupal or Joomla codebase before. Or JavaScript projects that pull a myriad of junk dependencies. We have a Perl codebase which is actually quite clean. Mojolicious also helps a lot to keep it nice and tidy.
Yes, that's the interesting thing here, so we've put it in the title above. Hopefully that will nudge the discussion to be more specific and less lame.
Monte-Carlo seems more akin to how humans play games.

Alpha-Beta pruning is the classical computer science algorithm, easier to understand, describe, and analyze... but very inhuman. Its an exhaustive search, like a breadth-first search.

Monte-Carlo has a lot of variations. Classically, the original MCTS algorithms for Go would play all the way to the end of a game before searching other parts of the tree. In effect, its a depth-first search, you play until you make a conclusion (potentially a "bad" conclusion). The reasoning is simple: on the average, a lot of "samples" of playthroughs will lead to a better estimate for win/loss probability. Think of it as a random-sample of the win/loss potential of a move.

EDIT: Cleaned up the above paragraph.

MCTS implemented by AlphaZero is different however. It uses a neural-net to find "interesting" positions to guide the search, and the same neural net also evaluates the position (who is winning or losing). It seems like a very good way to have a single neural network mostly perform double-duty (aside from the two output nodes). Most of the input layers / early hidden-layers can be "recycled" between the "explore" function and the "evaluation" function.

EDIT: I don't know how AlphaZero gets its "exploration" network trained up however. Its possible that the original randomized MCTS algorithm (search randomly... which btw, performs way better than you'd expect...) might be used to "bootstrap" the exploration weights.

So MCTS just naturally works with neural nets very well.
The problem with such approaches is that you have to model all the environmental and performance factors that could cause an identical pseudo-AoA to be calculated, in all flight modes. And to do that you need a range of sensors, all redundant... so now you need additional input validation and sanitisation.

For example, measuring slipstream over the wing is not sufficient. You need to known the pressure ratio between above and below, so there's two sensors. But airflow over a wing is not contiguous or straight, so you need more spanwise sensors to start averaging. And the inboard wing will stall first and give erroneous data, so you need to detect that and disregard it...

Rather than just measuring the raw value at source.
I don't think the "lot of narratives" you're talking about actually exist. I've never heard anyone from the Go camp say that they want to make the language "small even if it's inconvenient". From a language design point of view I think they're trying to make it small to maximise convenience. Yes, it's a different philosophy to "kitchen sink" languages but that doesn't make it wrong. In fact it's considered a gold standard of language design. Wikipedia says:

> Orthogonality in a programming language means that a relatively small set of primitive constructs can be combined in a relatively small number of ways to build the control and data structures of the language[2]. It is associated with simplicity; the more orthogonal the design, the fewer exceptions. This makes it easier to learn, read and write programs in a programming language. The meaning of an orthogonal feature is independent of context; the key parameters are symmetry and consistency (for example, a pointer is an orthogonal concept).

Go modules are a fairly new feature which addresses past criticisms of Go dependency management so I don't think that's a valid criticism any more.
U.2 is more popular in servers. M.2 is common because of laptops. It is used in servers mainly for boot drive or where someone is gaming the cost difference of enterprise drives. There are form factors like Intel's ruler if you really want density that bests even custom M.2 carriers for servers.

Another point the author may not be aware of, most server SSD sales happen as parts of bigger integration deals. The SKUs for many/most U.2 devices for instance might never hit something like Newegg or Amazon but might be moving in massive volumes at Supermicro or Sanmina or the like. This is in contrast to say 3.5" hard disks which spent most of their life forwarded by pushing consumer demand and the only difference in an enterprise disk may be some firmware knobs.
