Paying authors directly doesn't mean the book will not have DRM nor using an intermediate book selling service mean that they will have DRM.

You are delusional if you actually think this obvious attempt to manipulate the Iranian people and compel them to violence will work. This by far a new low for America
As long as the ONLY processing of the data is for fraud detection/prevention, then GDPR specifically allows it as a “Legitimate Interest”

I appreciated your comments throughout this thread.

Symbol language works better in the longer term. When there's consensus about the icon functionality, they work. Look at traffic signs in Europe. They barely contain text. In the USA, they contain text all the time. In a large country where the main language is English this makes sense. In a continent consisting of many languages (and tourism), its important to have consensus on symbols instead.

What does suck is converting to symbols from text whilst you're used to text. That's the legacy of backwards compatibility.

I'm not talking about patriotism. I'm talking about the Iranian view that America came into their country to interfere with their self determination, they kicked us out and we are still interfering with their self determination via sanctions -- like an abusive parent that continues to stalk an adult child who fled home.

Given that the US gives Iranian Nationals no means to get free of the black mark against them for simply having been born there, they don't have to feel any loyalty whatsoever to their country to be intensely against what the US is doing to them.

Can't really expect the corporate tentacles of the National Security™ apparatus to comply, especially when there's a slew of bright eye'd folks willing to step up to the plate to pay down their student loans by drinking the kool-aid and lube up to jump in bed with such corporates.

Best to hope for in this environment is to expect nation states to waste more and more resources toward such unproductive endeavors and exploit the gaps.
It is an objective fact that this president made the central issue of his campaign portraying two groups - Muslims and Hispanics - as a threat to the United States, and his two key differentiating policies from his peers in the republican primaries reflect that - respectively his "Muslim Ban" and "The Wall".

It is absurd to characterise this president's foreign policy on Iran as separate from that background.
Yeah. It's ending on July 10 - https://www.blog.google/products/photos/simplifying-google-p...
It is extremely shitty behavior, but not racism. The sanctions are in place because the Iranian government is racist and innocents suffer from that, which could in turn increase racism again.
> Everyone uses equipment from the Netherlands (ASML).

This is funny, because besides ASML, Europe is very light on the chip manufacturing. Sure, there's ARM, but they don't have foundries. All this talk about geopolitics and computing, chips, foundries, and every single company and thus country is dependent on this one equipment vendor from a tiny and otherwise unimportant country, and nobody seems to bat an eye.

It makes me wonder whether maybe all this geopolitical scheming and fearmongering is way overblown. Why does it matter if country Y can make chips themselves or buy them from country X? What is this, a world full of little soviet unions? I mean, we have trade, and trade works! I think in the long run trade will always win over protectionism.

Hi from the UK, where one of our current scandals is the state broadcaster censoring parts of a documentary about the foreign office, directly at the foreign office's request, in order to remove comments made by Boris Johnson, in which he called the French 'turds'.

The government has argued, according to leaked memos, that Johnson’s comment could cause ‘significant damage’ to Britain and that it made a mockery of the Government’s aim in agreeing to the documentary, to ‘promote Global Britain to a UK audience’."

People have a right to use their paths. (Lets assume it was a public path, if not, it gets complicated)

Why do they have to be used as only some of the population wish 24/7

Some of us like art and are happy for this path to be used this way for a period of time.

I'm sure there are 100's of events we could link to where paths are shut down so corporations can use them for their purposes like a concert or a sports thing like running or outdoor dining .

Sorry, but a short disruption to a car loading zone to me is free speech.
It doesn’t work this way. Iranian government use every mean of propaganda available to them to amplify the effects of sanctions on the civilian population, and make sure that everyone thinks that the US is to blame. Sanctions that touch civilians is the gift for propaganda.

To the US credit, they were much more careful with applying sanctions to Russia: I am Russian (who lives abroad and doesn’t support our current government), and despite sanctions, I still can get the US visas, open a Github account, publish apps in App Store etc. I am really lucky I am not Iranian. I can’t do anything about the current government, Russia is not exactly a democracy, even if they maintain the motions and visibility of it.
maybe because SA doesn't threaten US allies as much as Iran
That is the intented effect of sanctions.

After that, for practical applications, Gen looks very promising. The MIT group already presented a very early prototype 2 years ago at PPAML.

But if you don't understand the fundamentals (generative process, mixture model, hierarchical models, non-parametric models, etc) you will be lost. Note v1 of Probmods was written in Church (a Scheme dialect), which has some advantages to create meta-models.

On Debates (2016)
The 80 million Iranians are currently held hostage by two entities. First, it is their own government (which is by far not the worse in the world, being in Iran feels more free than one would expect).

The Iranian people are not the target -- Persia is a rich ancient civilization that's being repressed -- the West knows this and wants to see the Iranian people's massive creative potential unleashed.

Sanctions are designed as a non-kinetic force applied to pressure the Iranian government into a weakened position. The Iranian people play a significant role in amplifying the pressure. The louder and more vocal their voice becomes, the more pressure their government will feel. If the Iranian people want a change, the change has to come from within.

At some point, when the people amplify the pressure beyond the point the government can withstand, the situation tips and the people force their government to release. This is the effect the sanctions are designed to create.
In a "non-ML" context, it's my favorite way to fit models. Even if I don't "need" it, I prefer it.

Hmmm. I wonder if you made a false dichotomy, relevant moral issues VS. course materials.

That said, I appreciate the distinction of morals and ethics. I understand ethics in the domain of 'what is good' and morals in the domain of 'what is good in society'. Fair Use suggests its ethical to use published materials for educational purposes. Whereas morals ask if what you're actually doing with the data is good for society.

I work for environmental nonprofits that also lobby for government intervention. This sector does not pay as well as private industry, so does not have the best people money can buy.

I can see clearly from the resumes on my desk that when it comes right down to it, people would rather make big sacrifices to work for a game developer than a nonprofit.

What has damaged the US chip industry is the overeliance upon old IP for "new" products, combined with lack of investment in industries that would benefit from more cutting edge tech, thus enabling state owned manufactures in china to eat their lunch in asia in this upcoming decade.

You'd have to be really on the pipe to ignore the declining sales volume of derivative products the past couple of years (masked quite nicely by corporates willing to buy back shares and employ a host of reporting tricks) before this trade war™ nonsense.

I definitely agree that if you stray outside the "traditional" CNN, LSTM, etc. it is very hard to implement custom layers in most frameworks. Especially if they are recurrent. I tried to implement a custom RNN in Tensorflow and gave up. All of the documentation is "just call tf.Lstm()" or whatever.

The exception is CNTK. That makes it really really easy to describe any network including recurrent ones. Sadly it doesn't seem to have caught on at all.

Oh no: I am not staying away from REALITY. This is not a metaphor, this is just plain facts: they are being treated like that exactly because they share a trait at birth. In this case being Iranian. In the past, being Jew.

I’m sorry you feel that way, but “gay” sounds more offensive to me (e.g. “the gays” or “that’s gay”) and, ironically, euphemistic. LGBTQ sounds clinical (it’s an abbreviation!) and only half the letters relevant here.

I am pretty sure that China is going to take a temporary hit but in the end they will emerge stronger than ever. I think China will also redouble on their efforts to be full self-sufficient in all high tech areas, even if they have to open up for a sanction relief deal, their population will so favor local competitors, that it won't matter.

China's rise will continue and dominant until their demographic bubble bursts and they turn into Japan when a falling population. I am curious if China can change course on its demographics in a way that Japan couldn't? Tech dominance is all but assured but if the demographics issue isn't resolved, they will clearly stagnant.

I think burnout rarely is connected to an overly strong emotional attachment or investment in work.

This almost sounds like trying to blame the victim. There’s a much simpler description: burnout happens to you because of circumstances imposed by the employer.

You don’t have to be emotionally invested to be deeply stressed by the prospect of getting fired, demoted or turned into a workplace pariah, and in a lot of toxic environments you are made to feel those threats are connected to whether or not you are putting in 8 hours every Saturday or responding to a permanent triage of PagerDuty alerts with no permission to invest time into fixing root causes.

Even when it doesn’t manifest as implied uncompensated overtime, you can end up being expected to be a miracle worker and simultaneously given no resources, all while balancing a personal life or financial obligations that might imply you cannot easily quit jobs or move to a new place for better jobs.

In a Hanlon’s Razor sense, I’d say burnout is almost always about toxic management or executive behavior. Sometimes it’s about a problematic teammate. But it’s rarely caused by the degree of emotional investment of the person burning out. Rather that is a symptom exacerbated by the real causes.
