When you say "real world examples", what do you have in mind? A lot of "real world" uses of random forests are basically just directly calling scikit-learn or something like that. In my neural network post, I implemented a simple neural network from scratch because I felt like it'd be valuable for beginners, but I wouldn't call that "real world".
A solid [heh] explanation. The methane could simply be absent because of seasons. It has very slightly larger axial tilt than Earth, and a far greater eccentricity. The sun could just be liberating methane from geological formations during the correct conditions (close to the sun, and in summer).

Seasons could also affect life (just like it does plants on Earth), but it's never aliens.

Mars is currently at its aphelion and the southern ice cap is not receiving sunlight, so anything liberating Methane might be inert.

> the mentioned chemical/dust reactions end up sequestering (scrubbing)

A good explanation, there is another possibility. Given that CO2 (the main component of the Martian atmosphere) is so much heavier than methane, the minuscule concentration could have floated to the top of the atmosphere and could have been mostly blown away by solar wind. Methane could still be there, just far below the noise floor.

Your comment sounds like you're calling "most people" stupid for failing to grasp the "true significance" of this launch (but you and your friends, obviously, were able to). I'd suggest tweaking it if that wasn't your intention.
> Why is anyone driving in Cambridge?

Mostly because they have somewhere to be on a schedule.

I've lived in Cambridge for ~20 years. For about 1/4 of that time, I walked to my office in Kendall about half the time and drove the other half. Bus service was completely impractical and trying to take the subway one stop took vastly longer than walking or driving.

The other 3/4 of the time, I had a job outside Cambridge -> driving to/from work everyday -> driving in/across/around parts of Cambridge everyday.

Now, with kids in elementary school (start time 8:15 sharp, pickup 2:25 sharp), we drive to/from school 8-10x a week. Before they were in school, to/from daycare (can't dropoff before 8:30; must pickup by 5:30 sharp; can't push a stroller on a bike) and work meant plenty of car trips as well. Before kids, to/from work and then to after-work team sports often meant needing to drive as well. Public transport in Cambridge, except directly red line T stop to T stop, is not for those who are on any kind of schedule. The bus service is a disaster, IMO.

So, just going off of what's on SpaceX's website[0], Falcon Heavy generates ~5 million pounds of thrust at liftoff, and weighs 3.12 million pounds. Max payload to LEO is ~140,000 lb That implies that acceleration at liftoff is somewhere between 1.53 and 1.6g, which would be fine for humans.

Further into the launch, I assume it's accelerating way faster than what humans can handle, but human limits wouldn't explain what it looks like anywhere where you can use the ground or apparent distance as a point of reference for speed and acceleration.

According to the Source of All Truth[1], Saturn V generated 7.6 million pounds of thrust, and had a launch weight of 5.1 million pounds. That means that, with no payload, it would accelerate at 1.49G. Meaning that the maximum possible acceleration is less than what you'd get with a fully loaded Falcon Heavy.

But that's not enough slower to be clearly visible. So I got no idea. Maybe it's some sort of perspective thing, or camera angles?

This is meant to be an emergency stockpile to ward off mass starvation, in various disaster scenarios.

Waymo can be found on the roads in NW suburbs of Detroit (Novi). Admittedly I did not see them much over the winter. Point is simply that they seem to be testing in the more ‘real-world’ conditions found in the Midwest. I have no idea what the progress is or number of autonomous miles driven but they do have equipment in the field in Michigan.

Hopefully as other companies advance they’ll also move to Michigan as an ideal test bed and bring the crossroads of tech and auto to Michigan.

I can't immediately find a definitive attribution, but David MacKay seems to have coined the name (https://books.google.com/books?id=AKuMj4PN_EMC&q=Berlekamp's...), and both were at the ECC Design Center (http://www.eccdesigncenter.com/researchers), so it seems reasonably likely.

I think it can be gone quite a lot more simply: Register on each service with a different first and last name and birthdate, linked to a throwaway email address with its own different name and birthdate. Then register on another service with another, and so on. I'm a white American guy, yet because I've watched some Spanish pop videos and used Google Translate for Spanish translations (and done other things, not as part of a concerted mis/disinformation campaign), my Android phone believes I'm a Latin woman, and I even get a mixture of Spanish and English ads and pre-roll commercials on YouTube videos, and some of the ads are for women's clothing and makeup.
Calling a hosted database "serverless" is the most brazen branding I have seen in a long time. For extra hilarity, their pricing page says "pricing is inclusive of cloud hardware".
Price for similar spec PCs is almost 0.5X. 10 years back, one could argue that Macs offered better build quality and reliability, but not in 2019!

My next purchase will probably be a 5K iMac. Since LG seems to be the only reputable company selling a 5K monitor, I would be looking at $1200 for a monitor by itself. A $1799 5K iMac is s good deal.

I doubt that you would even find a PC equivalent of a MacBook Air for half the cost. Cheaper yes, but not half.

There was nothing more “secure” about the Mac than Windows except that no one bothered to write malware for it.
No. That's not how price collusion works. If Delta airlines started charging for 2nd baggage, and after their announcement United/American/Southwest follow suit, that's not a price collusion if it wasn't predetermined secretly through implicit and explicit signaling among the airlines. The other airlines had option of either increasing their margins by adding new fee, or keeping 2nd bag free and hoping to make more money with increased volume (profit = unit margin volume). They are free to choose former or latter in our capitalistic setup. If there aren't any easily available substitutes, and you don't expect some new entrant to come and distrupt you, first option becomes much more lucrative. Especially if you have negative unit margins, since with second option - negative marginshigher volumes = lots of losses

What people seem to be missing here is, the ideals the community held when we lined up behind and helped propel Wikileaks forward went far beyond freedom of speech—it was deeply anti-propaganda, it was deeply anti-power, the releasing of all information— Julian made a conscious choice to become the monster we were all fighting, a propagandist who selectively hid information or selectively amplified certain information—this is quite literally the same thing we were fighting to stop.

We’re lining back up to fight for his freedom of speech, but he will forever be a study in why we must metaphorically “kill your idols.” Anyone who knows what we were fighting for knows that Julian abandoned the freedom of information cause long ago.
There are different types of index funds. There are market capitalization weighted index funds that fit your description of buying the entire market, but there are also small cap funds, sector funds, value funds, etc. You can avoid certain companies (e.g. FAANG stocks) by buying certain indexes (e.g. a value index).
Nice. I'm sure you could do a lot of cool things once you have this working well by playing around with the "butterfly effect".

For example introduce a single X us jitter in the RTC interrupt and see how long it takes or which part of the machine state diverges from the baseline run.
Very Good! I like it!
How I like to understand it instinctually is: When you're going up, gravity is working against you. The more time you spend going up, the more time you spend with gravity working directly against you.

Once you're out of the atmosphere and into the "over" phase, you're not fighting gravity, you're just trying to increase your lateral speed enough that the earth's falling away from you faster enough than gravity's pulling you toward it.

Or you can think of the limit case: as your acceleration away from earth goes to zero, your energy spent fighting gravity in order to avoid hitting the ground goes to infinity.
Humans have flaws. Elon is no different in that respect.
In this case they're not doing anything for the military. This payload was a commercial communication satellite.

> It was definitely a weird time - the transition from "home computers" (8-bit mostly) to "personal computers" (32 bit mostly) - and 16 bit machines were mostly skipped over

Well, IBM PC & clone started their lives as 16 bits machines, and 386 based computer were not really affordable before ~1990 I would say; I'm not sure precisely, but it is around that date. So there was something like ~9 years when 32 bits was not broadly available (and given 386-based computers launched in 87, ~6 years when is not not available at all).

Then until Win95 those PC continued to be importantly used in 16-bits mode, even if with more and more 32 bits pieces here and there toward the end, with all kind of "interesting" mixes (be it 32 bits apps on 16 bits OSes, mostly 16 bit OS+app on 32 bits VMMs, or even some 32/16/32 weird Frankenstein sandwiches). Given 16 bits software components did not (nearly) completely disappear before XP (let's recall the period when rich people looked at the PPro with envy - only to be told that it ran 16 bits code, still good parts of consumer Windows, quite slowly), it can even be reasonable to put the mark of the 16 -> 32 transition on the year 1995. That gives 14 years of 16 bits software, for IBM PC & compatibles.

It's such a mess that I want to split the difference again to get simple number: let's say we had 16 bits PCs during 6 to 14 years => 10 years.

Then AMD64 was introduced in 2003. It's also hard to put a definitive figure because we got interesting mixes of 32+64, although in this case the OSes vs Apps mix could not be as crazy as before, the price was more quickly affordable, and the remaining apps in 32 bits were (and in some case still are!) only there because the transition is far less interesting than the 16 -> 32 bits one; so it's mostly a non subject as long as the OS let use all the resources of the machine. But to be fair with the other part of the comparison, let's use Vista as the broad availability of a 64 bits Windows (because I don't believe that XP64 was much used) so 2006. (Even if Seven is needed to get more 64 bits installs, but 2006 is conveniently also between 2003 and 2009..)

So back to the start, with our middle-ground figures, we got: 1981 + 10 years => 91, then 91 to 2006 => 15 years.

So I would not say that 16 bits was skipped for IBM compatibles, not even mostly skipped. Hell I even wish it would have been the case: we would have had a less messy legacy...
The quote was from this historical event in 秦, China.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dazexiang_uprising

The people who was drafted for army was moving to the designated place. But due to the flooding, it is obvious they can't reach the place by the deadline. The penalty to miss the deadline is, by any means, death.

By facing the certain and unfair death penalty ahead of them, they decided the uprising. Saying.

王侯將相寧有種乎, "The king, loads, generals or ministers, Is there the seed for them?(no it isn't)"

In the end, they(the leaders, 陳勝 and 呉広) couldn't complete the the revolution. But the uprising movements continues and 秦 era was ended soon after.
People say it to seem smart. And then you start asking questions and they look foolish indeed.

For example, decentralize how? At what level? Article? Storage? Editorial? Might as well say all you need to build a car is 4 wheels and some power.
In the same way that 'getting to space' is not nearly as impressive as 'getting to orbit', there is another large step to 'getting to trans-lunar injection'.

It's perfectly reasonable to show the differences in two achievements, and doing so doesn't imply the derision of either.

In any case, I love that so many people around the world are able to participate in the exploration of our sky, and will celebrate every single step that makes it easier and cheaper, regardless of where the people making it happen happen to live.
Sure, not my intention - I think most people don't care. It's not a judgement about them. I just think they don't grasp it because they don't care and that's okay.

Citation needed? I’m a postdoc, and that doesn’t ring remotely true.
At least in CS, authors get most of the scientific credit all the time, and not just in citations to “FirstAuthorSurname et al.”, or in giving talks about the work (especially in CS). They’re the ones doing most of the hard work and thinking.

Advisors often range from consultants/consulents to managers. Not because they’re not smart, but because they seldom have months of uninterrupted time to focus on a problem intensely enough.

It became a massive "scandal" because it was part of the ongoing Facebook-scapegoating campaign that began the day after Trump won the election. There have been like 7 separate episodes in that scapegoating saga over the oas 2 years, and Zuckerberg has had to go public a bunch of times with some new vow to do something to get Facebook under control so that something so heinous doesn't happen again, lol... CNN and MSNBC viewers cannot understand how someone can support Trump unless than person is a white supremacist Nazi or whatever. All I know is that I have a nice $1,500 wager with a relative (who bet me last time as well) that if Trump is IN the election, he will win again. The only thing that could stop him is if he is simply not a candidate on Election Day. I think the main thing that could stop him is his own cholesterol; celebrity physician Dr. Oz said, in a show WITH Trump in September 2016, that Trump has too much of the "bad cholesterol."

What you describe sounds great, but that's not what WikiLeaks was like. They exposed stuff like "information for every female voter in 79 of Turkey’s 81 provinces — more than 20 million entries’ worth of addresses and cell-phone numbers".

Is that the kind of "reams of data and pure info", "hard facts without color" that should be viewed as a "priceless resource for journalists"? Of course not. That's negligent exposure of people's private information, towards absolutely no public interest whatsoever, and causing much public harm.
