No, insider trading does not mean “non-public information not available to other shareholders”, at least not in the US. It has to be information generated internally that was meant to be kept confidential.

There are many funds that base their entire existence on doing private research about companies and making trading decisions on this non-public research.

Visceral example: you spot a CEO get fatally run over by a car. You can immediately bet against the company via short selling, options, etc. even though the knowledge of his/her death is definitely non-public at that time.
> The more popular finite volume method in industry, can also be seen as a variational problem.

By that standard, you could interpret almost any numerical method for PDEs used in academia or industry as variational (aside from some fringe ones). By "variational" I mean methods which are designed in a variational way from the start, not can be merely interpreted variationally.

> Inflation is specifically price increases from change in the amount of money in a system.

No it isn't. Inflation is a general rise in prices in an economy, period, of which change in the amount of money in circulation is only one possible cause [it can also circulate faster or slower due to change in demand, supply constraints, import prices etc].
I agree, this is not good. I manage Macs in MDM and I already saw that in some actions they show up as 11 and in others as 10.16. sw_vers tends to report 10.16 but UIviews tend to report 11.0. MDMs are complex machines and they don't always do every operation the same way.

Why is this bad? Well for one example, because sometimes you use version numbers not exactly. Consider the statement: "Applies to 11.0 and higher". Depending on how the OS identifies itself this will be valid or not. On the same OS.

Or consider reporting, if under some conditions the Mac identifies itself as 10.16 and in others as 11, you're going to have them in 2 different buckets even though they're the same thing.

Really, they should have made a choice, one or the other. If software wasn't compatible because of this it should just be updated. Apple never said it would always be 10.x.

I don't really understand why they're doing this as Apple normally has no issue telling developers to fix it or stuff it. They never cared about backwards compatibility before. If having 11.x was not that important to them to upset a lot of stuff, they should have just stuck with 10.16.
Founders that do that don't need and shouldn't take venture capital money, so the opinions of investors scarcely matter in that case.
I can confidently predict that M2 will be whatever it needs to be to keep PCE inflation around the 2% mark.

The NSA and handfuls of other departments have figured out how to effectively use contractors (who are paid handsomely above that federal pay cap).

That's separate from the discussion of what these perverse incentives (eg. pay more to mercenaries than to lifelong government servants) do to morale, capabilities, and institutional knowledge. It gets far worse when the president casually says that we should just fire emergency specialists and suggest we can hire them back on short notice in the middle of an emergency.
Thanks very much :) Sounds kind of similar to the loans made to Yugoslavia, which were made with lots of formally defined stipulations.

>home to one of the most established and trusted legal systems in the world

I live in England and I have very little faith in the legal system, either in its laws or in the prison system. In fact, between criminalizing posession of some pornographic cartoons and the Snooper's Charter, not to mention the mandate that ISPs keep your history metadata for 9 months now, I have lost all faith in the English legal system. The populace that is apathetic to encroachments on rights, freedoms, and privacy, much like how it is currently trending in the US, is even worse given that there is no constitution to protect those rights, and we have to trust this government to create a 'bill of rights'. I can't be the only one incredibly cynical about what that would entail.
There is speculation the reason Windows jumped from version Windows 8 to Windows 10 is that too many things were string matching (version ~= "Windows 9\d*")
The prompt contained a few react examples with annotated English descriptions that were similar enough. You’re not seeing the entire prompt and as impressive as this is, it’s likely that you’d end up writing more code trying to get it to do what you want than if you just wrote it yourself. Future GPTs may of course be better, but there’s a bit of “magic” to these demos that the author isn’t super upfront about.
Right, but literally the next bullet point covers that event.

There are costs to living in a free society. Harm from letting people believe falsehoods is one of them. Soldiers dying to protect you from those seeking to destroy you is another.

If people aren't free to believe false things and even to try to spread those falsehoods to others, then it's no longer a free society. And one day, a thing you know to be true will be deemed false and you might still think that the problem is just that the wrong people have this power.

Can't agree on a few points.

> so nobody is directly on the hook for blame when things go wrong

Usually the poor guy who broke the unspoken rules is to blame, and worse yet, it looks like he's to blame out of the blue. Things went wrong, his colleagues are unhappy, and the reasons for that are vague.

> The null process does not shake up or disrupt existing, implicit or explicit, political power structures in place.

In part, it is those structures, the unspoken implicit expectations. Messing with them is much like messing with explicit power structures, only blindfolded.

> This disperses power and disallows any one person or small group from gaining undue influence over the whole by controlling some key cog

Rather, the people informally "in the know" do gain the undue influence, but do so informally. You just have to talk to them via these haphazard channels (and know to talk to them in the first place), or certain things fail to work well. This also lowers the bus factor of the organization, without formally acknowledging it.

OTOH I tend to agree with the other two points: that informal "null" processes are easier to dismantle and replace with a more formal process of a very different kind, and that the lack of formal process allows some needed creativity, informal "skunk works" to sneak in where (other) formal processes do not allow for that.

Also why will the investors give you money for starting in some other country than investing in someone who is already in that country.

Ofcourse there are exceptions and you can start a lot of companies without dealing with these issues as well.

The problem is that professors have absolutely no incentive to create good courses. All of their incentives are in their research so time spent on class prep is time lost working on the things that are actually incentivized; doing research, writing papers and applying for grants.
Yes it would. But there is no guarantee that every package vendor does it that way. And this is only one example I can think of. It will mess up reports as well. Data from Macs is used outside of the Mac itself as well. I'll add that to my post, I'm only just now thinking of the implications. So far I hadn't thought of this as I assumed it would be fixed before release.

In fact most Enterprise software for Mac (think Palo Alto GlobalProtect, Zscaler, antivirus packages) are horribly badly packaged and I expect many issues here.

Why does Tim Apple get away with being so close to Donald Duck with private meetings and such to preserve Apple's business with China? I find it curious that the media hasn't bothered to take swipes at something so obviously in conflict with Apple's stated mission and ethos.
Yes, and our recent work https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.04385 gives a fairly general form for how to mix known scientific structural knowledge directly with machine learning. In fact, some of these PDE solvers are just instantiations of specific choices of universal differential equations. I agree that in many cases the "fully uninformed" physics-informed neural network won't work well, but we need to fully optimize a library with all of the training techniques possible in order to prove that, which is what we plan to do. In the end, I think PINNs will be most applicable to (1) non-local PDEs where classical methods have not fared well, so things like fractional differential equations, and (2) very high dimensional PDEs, like 100's of dimensions, but paired with constraints on the architecture to preserve physical quantities and relationships. But of course, something like a fractional differential equation is not an example for the first pages of tutorials since they are quite niche equations to solve!

>What ICE car exceeds that?

When it was new (3 - 5 years old) my Dodge 2500 turbo diesel with a 120 liter fuel tank (31.7 US gallons) went 1,000km (620 miles) per tank. That's highway miles of course but 1,000km per tank is not exactly mind blowing it works out to 23.5 Imperial mpg or 18 US mpg.

An old cow-orker of mine said his old VW Rabbit diesel manual trans did 80 Imperial mpg (66 US mpg) on the highway. I have no way to verify that could be 10% BS. I've seen 50 US mpg stated (60 Imperial mpg). But who know synthetic oil, slim tires, highway miles, slow speeds all that may get it to the 70s mpg.

Note that this is how Windows has worked since 2013.

If you ask what version of Windows you are running, for example with GetVersionEx, Windows will report Windows 8.0. This is true unless your application marks compatibility with a newer version in its manifest, at which point Windows will report whatever the newest version in your manifest is, or whatever version Windows actually is, whichever of the two is older.

That's... not good copy. I think it must have been written long ago. We use open-source libraries (with compatible licenses, of course) and even maintain our own set of open-source code (https://github.com/gravwell). I'll talk to the guys who maintain the website and get that fixed. Thanks for pointing it out!

Edit: We've had lots of people assume we use Elastic under the hood, so I wonder if that was just a (poorly-worded) attempt to indicate that our core storage and querying code is custom rather than some existing open-source solution.

I would like to know the exact market share of DDG in India.

Also people who use DDG use it as their search engine. It would impact that "minuscule" percent of people the same way the majority of people would get impacted if google.com was banned for a couple of hours.

Geo-spatial auto-correlation basically means the degree to which one spatial object is similar to other nearby spatial objects. Spatial correlation finds its application in finding epidemic spread , rainfall pattern and demography analysis.The degree of similarity is measured by Moran's I co-efficient and varies from range -1 to +1 with 0 indicating no correlation.

I still can't find any alternative to the old, RRD-based Munin. It is so simple. You want to add a new server to monitor? Just install there the node part, enable any required additional plugins (just by creating a couple of soft-links), add one-line configuration to the main server with the new node's IP address, and you are done.

Also, the aesthetics of the UX, you see all the graphs in one single page[1], no additional clicks are required - a quick glance with a slow scroll and you can see if there were any unusual things during the last day/week.

Sure, it's a simplification, but the point kind of stands -- if you have a net positive outcome after adjust for cost of capital, you should seek that capital out to make it happen. Or maybe decrease a dividend or buyback program.

Skype, OVH, Zalando. There are surely others, but, yes, most internet companies are in the US. The question is why?
I can think of two reasons: the US is more uniform (one language to start with), so once the business starts to go well it explodes quickly, whereas in Europe it may go well in one country, but expanding to other countries is harder. The other is because it's where the big investments are, so people, also from Europe, go there to get funded, which attracts more investments. It's a positive feedback loop and it's hard to stop it.

I got to know about public domain films and decided to make an app for them. Presently they are scattered on several websites and youtube.

I made this in Unity because:
- Contrary to what I believed, the battery didn't get drained. 2 hours of streaming brought my entry level 1 year old Android phone from 50% to 25% charge.

- I took this as an opportunity to make a UI framework of my own. It makes UI a purely data thing, optimizes dynamic images loaded from URL by caching and clearing based on visibility, added easy to author transtion. And more. I'll be open sourced soon.

- I will be porting this to VR as well. There is actually a substantial user base of older people that I think would like it.

Some technical details:
- UI is using my own framework. I developed it along with the app when I was working on the domain and services.

- I use MongoDB Atlas for hosting film meta data. For working with MongoDB in C# I use MongoDB.Entities instead of the driver directly.

- The videos are hosted on BunnyCDN.

- I use the in-built Unity VideoPlayer with an abstraction over it so that I can later change players if needed. I'm yet to finalize subtitle support.

To investigate whether a fire call is real, wouldn't you need to be a trained firefighter? For example, you may have to enter a building that's possibly on fire to see if there's a fire. And a small fire isn't necessarily obvious by just looking at the building from the outside.

Also, if someone has to investigate before the fire department was dispatched, you'd lose a lot of valuable time, allowing the fire to spread. It could be a win if there was no fire, but a huge loss (burned buildings, dead people) if there actually was a fire.

It's kind of annoying from an analytics perspective, because you need to upgrade the manifest (and thus the compatibility) to find out how widely adopted a version is, so you can find out if how much effort it's worth putting into validating it as a platform.
The reason why both Microsoft and Apple are doing this is because there is too much software in the wild which will break if it detects a major version bump. So, that is why both are doing it, and that is why it is the right decision.

LastPass has a very nice solution.. You invite your next of kins with a emergency access token email. Then when something bad happens to you they can request to gain access to your passwords.

TLDR: Using neural network to model physical systems as black boxes and then, later, using symbolic regression (genetic algorithm to find a formula that fits a function) on the model to make it explainable and improve its generalization capacities.

The system managed to reinvent Newton's second law and find a formula to predict the density of dark matter.

(note that symbolic regression is often said to improve explainability but that, left unchecked, it tends to produce huge unwieldy formulas full of magical constants)
