I'd upvote this comment more if I could.

I've recently suffered from acute anxiety, and it was not pleasant. But I figured out what was causing it, changed my diet and exercise patterns, and it's not happening anymore. The rest of the good things in that list remain in place.

That said, the author is probably not intentionally misleading his audience; his personal experience points to the connection between those good attributes and anxiety, and he assumes that if you lose one you lose them all. It's an honest mistake, but a mistake nonetheless.
Yahoo didn't challenge their involvement in PRISM according to these court documents. They instead challenged FISA orders. PRISM is not mentioned anywhere. The shitty CNET article is conflating the two, but they are not the same.

So no, Yahoo has not contradicted themselves.
Saying that hacking is "sad" is arrogantly elevating your own limited worldview over the worldview of hackers. Perhaps someday you could hope to become as awesome as the person you're criticizing, but first you have to realize that being a hacker is something worth aspiring to.
Edit: Doesn't make its instantiation NOT a panicked act.

That is: even though DHS was considered in advance, it, the so-called PATRIOT Act, and the ill-fated war on Iraq, and numerous other errors were rammed through Congress.
If you think that anything about this is sad, then you simple don't love programming enough.

There's nothing wrong with not loving programming, but calling people who clearly do "sad" because of it, is a bit, well, sad.

Not the full thirty pounds, but it could definitely be a contributing factor. And, if one's extremities get warmer while one's core temperature remains the same, the same amount of clothing is worn, and the ambient temperature remains the same, it's pretty much a certainty that more calories are being spent on heating the body.

The point is, don't gloss over things by making dumb statements like "it's impossible because of the laws of thermodynamics". The laws of thermodynamics don't preclude engines that either leak fuel or are fantastically inefficient in converting them to any particular form whether it be locomotion, electricity, or adipose tissue. If your point is that the human body is fantastically efficient at producing fat in ways that don't really vary, then prove that point.
That line alone cost the article much of its credibility in my book. A scientific article should not lump all sugars together as metabolically equivalent.
"Personally I know I eat much more fries if I eat them with ketchup and I will eat much more steak if I eat it with steak sauce."

Not to detract from your other excellent points but:

1 - it makes it easier to eat more because it's less dry. If you eat a bunch of fries with nothing it will turn into a huge lump in your stomach and you won't want more.

2 - insoluble fiber in apples slows fructose absorption, but a hunk of fatty meat does not? Fat slows absorption through the intestine.

3 - Vinegar is supposed to suppress appetite. Eating a pickle when your hungry will 4/6 times make you feel a lot less hungry.
I'm a fan of BSD sys/queue.h and especially sys/tree.h; they are liberally-licensed header-only implementations of various kinds of linked lists resp. binary trees.
His comment says more about the content of the article than most of the other comments. An article about sugar funded by ADM is not an objective source of information, due to the very large conflict of interest.
I'm using 4 features of the article: Title, sentence length, sentence position, and modified keyword frequency. The first three features are just normal that you can see in most automatic summarization research. Modified keyword frequency considers not just the frequency, but also the distance of each keyword. :) There. That's just a brief explanation of how TextTeaser works.

Brian,

In our original job post, we had specified that the ideal candidate would, "not have more than 12 years of MANAGEMENT experience." We UNDERSTAND that this could be misunderstood to indicate that we do not value experienced people. As you can see from the seniority in our team however, this is far from the truth. The intent here was to indicate that we are looking for a "hands-on" VP of Engineering. Someone who has coded in the last decade and can solve issues themselves (rather than asking their engineering manager to then delegate it to a developer :).

I don't think you understood the process--there is no 2) post to exchange a shared secret, as it is derived from his private key and the already known to him public key of WL.

There is also no prior need to contact WL--this is the whole point of the scheme. All this is public so NSA is supposed to be well aware of WL monitoring all these messages. That's why he would be encoding using wordlengths modulo 2 (see my post below) so they are statistically indistinguishable from normal text. NSA would not be able to detect suspicions activity without having the WL private key.

Also, there is no need to raise undue suspicion by using untypical photo sizes as he can publish as many and as different files (e.g. video, music, etc.) as he requires once the harder process of establishing channel of communication with WL has already been accomplished.
No, only calories really matter in terms of metabolic rate. Your metabolic rate increases in a surplus and decreases in a deficit.

Always interesting to see new people try to approach the summary problem but I find these summaries have the defects common to automatic keyphrase extraction summaries: they feel very artificial, and are usually not accurate. The summary of "four steps to Google" is a good example.

I hope this kind of technology sees the day but I'm very skeptical about it working on general-purpose content and not just structured content such as news, as it does today.
When I first spotted that, I wasn't sure if it was intentional. Maybe the comments are a part of the input.
I think that gets to the core question of intelligence. I think that is merely a question of functional complexity. I am more intelligent than an ant because the mechanics of my decision-making process are far more complex and tuned. The question of "Is X more intelligent then Y?" is meaningless without narrowly defining the word intelligence.

If you're authenticated when doing a search, google hides the kw for the target site. What you see now in keywords is just from users that aren't signed-in.
Absolutely. As users we would all love if we get "no promotional" emails in our inbox. But this is going to give power to Google to decide which email get delivered and which does not giving an bias towards which company makes more money than others. Which is not good.

I would rather see a more distributed and open system that helps people get rid of the promotional emails or not.

True. But the idea is that "you" should decide that and not google. For example google might chose to block 99% of the marketing emails which might make you happy but at the same time Google will decide which 1% of them will succeed.

Hello sir. 500friends founder/CEO here.

It's not that people with 12+ years of experience are not as good. We were trying to screen out candidates (many of them who are smart) but have been "managers" for so long that they can't get their hands dirty and solve issues themselves (something you have to do at a very small team).

Don't take my word for it, 26% of people on our team are older than 38. If you're bored, check out their bios at 500friends.com/team

Admittedly however, this was not clear in our post, and it has since been edited.

Thanks!!
No,I'm afraid but am not great writer but what I am creating will bring huge traffic on my website(or say blog).

After hearing lot of suggestions and googling, i found that i will use Adsense as default way for generating revenue with upgrade plan which can filter ads and provide other fancy extra things.

Thanks for your help
This was very interesting! Was the OP the author? Care to share a bit about how you made it?
Very impressive, especially the adaptive topology feature, I don't believe even Mudbox has that.

Adding some sort of collaborative features would would be plausible and really cool (keep perspective and settings local, sync model updates).
He is a crazy old man. Since he was 20. Look at his rants against Minix, before he created the first Linux kernel.

But yeah, I love his style too. It's certainly not for everybody, but he earned it.
I'd rate 'perkeleen' to be slightly 'softer' than 'fucking'. 'Vittu' (or 'vitun') is the best translation for 'fucking'. Not sure if there's a better word for it in English, but maybe something like 'damn' or 'bloody'.
Extrapolating from your use of "they" and the implied "us" I'm guessing that you haven't worked in the role of a CEO yourself. Taking that responsibility for a few years might not increase your respect for individuals but it will increase your respect for the difficulty of the job.

AGI - Artificial General Intelligence.
It terrifies me what this insight might be.
If you're going to argue by appeal to an unnamed authority like "everyone" it's just as easy to refute your argument using the inverse appeal.

So basically all your words are meaningless.
I'm sad because such a world is probably a better one, so long as the AGI is Friendly and doesn't turn us into paperclips or worse.

You're talking about an extra 50 calories a day. It's going to be negligible against the 1100-1200 calorie deficit needed for that kind of weight loss. A half tablespoon of peanut butter.

Over the course of 90 days, you'd lose a grand total of a pound of fat or so.

Going to bang a small drum here and proclaim:

When doing science, don't use a tech stack that will be obselete next year or in 3 years. Use something that will be AROUND; something that is well defined, something that other people can use down the road on a different system.

Virtual machines are "okay". Running them requires having the hypervisor working correctly and - hopefully - the original architecture supported.

Personally, I used Common Lisp for my Master's work. Other examples of tech stacks that are very stable are C, C++, and Fortran.

We have been working hard to reduce computing times and memory footprint (though, there is still a lot of improvement on that side).

I've never seen such fast buy in and process change when something goes wrong if someone is polite. Just read the comments replying to Linus' post. All parties involved realized how bad their mistake was and changed their build testing to make sure it doesn't happen again.

There's a reason Linux is such an awesome system despite its hobbyist nature and previously low budget, and Linus is likely that reason.

Why would you need AI to mass produce toothbrushes ?
So, the fact that I would speculate that the fundamental make-up of the cosmos might (not "must" as you mis-quote) be related to how consciousness is an emergent property of the cosmos is bizarre?

I think your discounting of such questioning and speculation is bizarre.

Consciousness is either entirely made up of "particle physics" or it is made from something even further into the field of speculation. Why would speculating about a connection between particle physics and consciousness be remotely "bizarre"? It seems quite likely to me that quantum mechanics is at least in some way involved in consciousness, given that that quantum physics governs the behavior of the matter of our brains.
"That would be relevant if the chess winning programs mimicked the way humans think -- so that the same intelligence could be transfered in other fields."

If that were true for human intelligence, the Kasparovs and Carlsen's of the world could have lucrative side jobs solving e.g, protein folding problems.

I don't think it is as black and white as you claim it to be.

For those who may skim the article without reading the actual manifesto, the closing paragraph is rather keen:

The dev sent me a link to this last week. Told him the same thing about going over the wire. The difference is, I think that plenty of startups and other size companies that already have their mail and tasks and bugs and code outside of their firewall (or NAT) won't mind this.

The wire problem that exists for me, is that I am not going to use any new services that put my private personal data on someone else's server. My business data is less private since I share that data with other people constantly.
Rand Paul couldn't do it either, any more than Reagan could shut down the Dept. of Education. It has to be done in Congress, and there's no appetite for shutting down anything, ever, in Congress.

The reason we have fourteen separate agencies with intelligence operations is as they lose the trust of elected leaders new ones are created, leaving the old ones intact.

You may want to study the source code of a well-written, modern C project like git: https://github.com/git/git

The fixed-size int finally got a permanent solution: #include <stdint.h>

If you are targeting autoconf/automake as your build system, that has a lot of built-in solutions to portability issues, like defining macros. It's not easy to learn, and I don't pretend to know it well, but when I'm compiling someone else's project, I'm always happy to see a configure script.

The gtk project's libglib is a pretty comprehensive library of C data structures. The Apache Portable Runtime serves a similar purpose: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Portable_Runtime

What I find annoying about libraries like glib is that they tend to impose their own style on your project by using their own typedef'ed types and such.

If you don't mind it, you can cobble together your own data structures from various open-source projects. Judy arrays are pretty fast, and you can use them in a variety of ways. Searching google for "c hash table" came up with a lot of excellent results, so try googling whatever data structure or algorithm you need, and chances are, you'll find something.

Not a single sentence you wrote here is anywhere close to being true. There are lots of ways to skin the SEO cat, and that ranges from very white to very very black hat. It all depends on your tolerance for risk and ability to layout capital to get there.

I think it could be more than that. Studies have found that some people have burned off an increase of hundreds of calories a day just through an increase in fidgeting.

And then there's this (http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=99...)

Despite the fact that all of the subjects spent the same amount of time in exactly the same confined space, the results showed large differences in the number of calories they burned. Some subjects burned as few as 1,300 calories in 24 hours, while others burned as much as 3,600 calories, a difference of 2,300 calories in one 24-hour period!

Keep in mind that most of what these subjects were doing would not be counted as "exercise".
