Why wouldn't it be machine learning? It certainly fits the definition of supervised learning (aka regression).

Admittedly you do usually learn it in unsexy statistics classes rather than sexy machine learning classes...

Just because you can build a dynamic language on a vm doesn't mean it was designed and optimized for it.
Lol. This is funny. To break into Wall Street, you almost have to have an unpaid internship. If you do well, they offer you a job there. If you don't, they don't. People just WANT to hate Sandberg. An internship is a chance to learn; you aren't entitled to learn at a company. Paid interns are the exception; they are odd. You're used too Google too quickly and clearly don't understand how most industries operate. If you think apprenticing would be more beneficial, call it that. Interning is an opportunity to learn, not to pay rent.
This is an argument for writing JS against browsers, not stuffing it into every domain possible.
Web is the low-hanging fruit. Take a nice-looking language, add a web framework, and developers can instantly do something useful in a language they like. And as you say, it's a widespread need, so even a percentage of that attention is quite a few people.

I think if a language really nailed a niche, especially a lucrative one like scientific/numeric computing, it could be successful on those merits alone, because it would get a large percentage of that niche.
Do you think those stories would disappear if newspapers were no longer printed? There are plenty of online news sites. The syndicates can keep selling their stories without printed newspapers.
The more we all use ZFS, the better. I truly hope ZFS on Linux keeps up the momentum it has, because it will increase the value of the overall ZFS knowledge base (like this post).

For more interesting topics by Mr. Bruning, I encourage you to look through the past "Bruning Questions" posts: https://www.google.com/search?q=bruning+questions+site:joyen...
The operating system schedules threads across cores, and the processor has zero say in the matter (further, the execution units are primarily to facilitate branch to essentially execute future scenarios). Both Linux and Windows are hyperthread aware, and will schedule threads to physical processors first, then to hyperthread virtual processors (given that it shares resources with the physical core and can sabotage performance).

This is common knowledge, and your laughable obnoxiousness, which anyone who has ever worked with multithreaded code on a HT processor knows is farce, rings pretty ridiculous.

People aren't just pointing fingers at Sheryl. People have been complaining about this at all levels for a very long time and it isn't disingenuous at all.

This really only became news however because Sheryl seems to have got used enough to her bubble that she forgot that the standard practice among many of the rich of filtering out the poor from entrance to organisations is considered to be fairly disgusting by many other people.
Apparently the ones that didn't get caught.
During my first internship at a newspaper, an editor asked me, "Would you walk into a butcher shop and ask the butcher for free meat?"

"No, I don't think so," I replied, confused by his question.

"So who in their right mind would think it's okay to ask a writer for free words?"

Although the paper had a small budget, he gave me a modest stipend for each article. It wasn't about the money; it was about what the money represented: respect for a person's time and energy.

I took his career advice to heart and never worked for a company that didn't value its employees enough to pay them.
Users also pay a fee (there are free accounts, but they're very restrictive).
I've dealt with these kind of programmers on numerous occasions. While they may claim to know other programming languages, they usually don't know much about them at all, in reality. If they do know another language, it's PHP, which is just about as bad as JavaScript in most respects.

Any programmer who has real experience with a variety of different programming languages will become very aware of how inferior JavaScript inherently is.

JavaScript's problems go much beyond the quirks or oddities we see with programming languages in general. They're severe deficiencies (the lack of proper modules or namespacing, and the lack of proper class-based OO), or inexcusably stupid design flaws (semicolon insertion, its broken scoping rules, its broken type system, its broken prototype-based OO, its broken comparison operators, and so on).

No intelligent, experienced, self-respecting programmer will want anything to do with such a ridiculously flawed and broken language. They surely will not see it as good as Python or any other language that isn't rife with the unjustifiable stupidity that permeates every aspect of JavaScript.
I don 't believe it's 'lack of moral compass' for this equation. It's such a tricky pot. What would this missing moral compass entail? drugs, privacy, sexual morals?

I would argue that a stronger internal sense of morality helps one find these cracks in the system to become entrepreneur.

A lack of moral compass would mean one would do whatever it takes without bounds to achieve the desired outcome. NSA, Crack Dealers,

A strong internal moral compass would let someone think it's not a bad thing to grow pot and sell it(George Washington), protect their wealth during hyperinflation with bit-coin (Argentina, Greece), Bring cheep education to the masses (OCW, Schwartz).

I think the idea you are looking for is: socially suggested morals. But the 'troubled' kids are smart enough to question what they see, open enough to imagine a better way, stubborn enough to not listen to nay-sayers without good arguments.
With multiple stations between SF and LA, this could be mitigated with an emergency system that pulls the train off at the next stop. Similar to how some buses or trains have emergency stop systems, except instead of stopping, the capsule would divert to the next station.
What's with the down votes?
Cars offered many advantages over horse carriages, enough that people were willing to pay for cars.

Craigslist offered one main advantage over newspaper classifieds: they were free. It's hard to compete with free on something like a classified ad.

If CL had charged anything close to newspaper market rates for ads, they would not have had nearly the market penetration.
How much experience do you personally have with other programming languages, aside from JavaScript (and perhaps PHP, if you're familiar with it)?
I wonder why we still publish articles about a basic business practice, trimming the fat.

And especially(this one thankfully not included) the number of articles which talk about it like it's a bad thing.
I wouldn't say in this case that the problem lies with Blender's choice of the GPL, but rather with Autodesk's FBX license. The FBX license is much more restrictive and onerous than the GPL. Whether GPL is freer than BSD-style licenses or not is debatable, but it certainly respects the user's freedom far more than Autodesk's "Evaluation License" with "Permitted Number equal to one".
Tips on abstaining:

* Don't keep any alcohol in your house

* Don't go anywhere that drinking is the primary focus, or even secondary focus

* Pick up a regular hobby that makes you happy and do it at least three times a week

* Talk to people you enjoy and join them in activities that don't involve drinking

* Put the amount of money you'd normally have spent on booze into a piggy bank and watch it grow

* Make a list of things that make you happy, and revisit it when you're feeling down (instead of revisiting booze)

* Get a buddy to abstain with you from drinking or smoking for mutual moral support

* Put an 'X' on a calendar for every day you don't drink

* If you find it difficult, give yourself an arbitrary goal date. Once you reach it, try to extend it further

* Make it easier for you to drink healthy things by getting things you need (tea infusers, pitchers, juice concentrate, water bottles, etc)

(I recently did two months, which was much harder for me than I anticipated, but I finally got over the hump and have had very little to drink for weeks. Feels nice to have more productive things to do than burn money and feel run down in the morning, and i'm looking better too!)
Gosh, it really does make it an awful lot harder, doesn't it!

It's disappointing to see the false "JavaScript is functional" claim thrown around time and time again.

Just because it has first-class functions it does not mean that JavaScript is a "functional" language.

JavaScript does not promote the use of pure functions, referential transparency, and the minimization of state.

JavaScript does not encourage the use of recursion.

JavaScript has an atrociously broken type system, rather than a robust and theoretically sound one.

JavaScript does not offer pattern matching and other functionality offered by modern functional languages.

In fact, it goes out of its way to promote a very imperative, non-functional style of software development, even when efforts are made to try to use it in a functional way.
The lines have always been a little blurry for me. You have statistics, machine learning, data mining, artificial intelligence. It all seems to overlap heavily. I tend to consider statistics and data mining to be concerned mostly with classical statistics, and machine learning and artificial artificial intelligence to be concerned more with bayesian methods, and algorithms. That being said, logistic regression seems like the quintessential machine learning technique. So who knows, any experts care to comment?
@jessaustin, Let me try to explain a few more details here:

Inbound Phone Number existing Carrier

Lets assume, you have existing numbers you own with your existing carrier. Carriers usually allow forwarding to certain IP destination or hostnames like sbc.plivo.com, so what you will need to do on your carrier side is to just configure this one time for the numbers with them.

On the Plivo side, for us to be able to enable the carrier to pass through our firewall, you would whitelist the Carrier IPs using our APIs/UI and then add (not buy) the numbers in the system you own with the carrier. That we it allows us to be able to match the incoming calls from a certain carrier on a certain number to a customer app. (there are tons of edge cases here I am not covering, but we have taken care of that in the implementation)

Outbound Calls via your Carrier to phones

This is a bit more tricky and complex as users may want to use Carrier 1 for Country A, Carrier 2 for Country B etc.. so we allow customers to be able to configure this logic using our APIs and assign them with dedicated IPs which allows the carrier to distinguish where the call is coming from for them to bill/ account it.

It may sound simple here, but trust me, when you open up that kind of logic to every customer, it becomes a tough problem quickly and thats where architecture matters. I am not sure, I want to talk about how we architected the system, so will leave it for later discussion.

Regarding DoS or DDoS, IP spoofing is not so trivial, as first one needs to figure out carrier ip, then customers phone number and then all they can do is just trigger the app which can perform some business logic. So again not sure if there is any security risk with this.
Those are called transits and occlusions. Very dull and quite frequent.

And gas giants don't have a fixed surface you can stand on. I guess you could find the optimal distance to hover in your space ship to see an eclipse, assuming it is above the cloud layer. But where is the novelty in that?

Plus the sun is much less impressive way out there. Jupiter is 5 times further (Sun appears 0.04 the size). Saturn is 9.5 AU and so the Sun appears 0.011 the size.

Eclipses are still not likely just because you have a bunch of moons. Usually moons will orbit on the planet's plane of orbit. The Earth-Moon system (being more of a binary planet relationship) orbits on the solar plane instead of around the Earth's tilted equator, meaning the Sun/Moon/Earth is vastly more likely to be in alignment for an eclipse.

As rocket failures go, SpaceX's have proven very boring. No booms, no light shows, nothing likely to kill a hypothetical human crew. The first one was actually kind of funny in the end. The satellite landed semi-intact in a storage shed... a few feet from its own shipping container[1]. Too bad we don't bother with parachutes on satellites, it probably would have been reusable with little or no repair.

I'd actually prefer this. I'd rather start at $20/hr for 2 months as a temp employee than be judged on a battery of irrelevant logic questions.
I disagree that they're rebelling in the conventional sense, since they aren't rebelling against anyone, they're usually evaluating rules, and if the rules don't fit them, they'll break them with no guilt whatsoever.

At least that's what I've seen in the small group of entrepreneurially minded kids I've met and got to know(4-5 people, a ballpark estimate would be 1% or less of people I know).

I also don't entirely agree on the financial backing part. 3 of them have financial backing, but all 3 earn their money themselves. The other 2 have no, or almost no financial backing. One of those is an outlier, since he had backing from his father, but it's uncertain whether he'll have it in the future.

One curious observation that I've made is that they all have a slant towards doing marketing. 2 of them went to college in order to study it, another 2 are doing freelance work at it, and the last one is intrested in it.

Also, 4 of them program, the 5th one not being intrested in it.

On the point of self esteem, they all seem to have very high self esteem.

I have to say that 5 people is a small set, and whether they'll be sucessfull as entrepreneurs is only something time will tell, so I've only included characteristics that occur in most of them very strongly. Still, it's a set of teenagers/young adults that allready know they want to be entrepreneurs, so it fits quite well.
That tells us less about what is normal practice by most businesses and more about how screwed our financial system has become. If I am running an organisation, I want the best people, not just the best people from the group who's parents are wealthy enough to let them not need to work in the first place.

What this is really doing is showing Peru making a bet on DISTRIBUTED energy generation or decentralized power generation because due to the terrain in many areas running a grid there is prohibitive (not cost, but maintenance and repair, and distances are great).

Would love to see them get wireless access as well to get phone/internet in there too if they can at the same time as the solar cells/capacitors.
AFAIK all big investment banks pay their interns. Are you saying there are big commercial banks that offer unpaid internships? What are they?

Apple Stock Tops $500. Thanks Carl Icahn
Most people will only buy from established sellers with a history of good reviews. To my knowledge, those reviews cannot be readily faked. It would be possible for LE to create a number of seller accounts, slowly build up a good reputation, and then bust a bunch of people across the country within a day or two (before news spread). That immediately fails a cost-benefit analysis.
If an intern knew they wouldn't be getting paid before they started and no one forced them to take the job, I don't see any reason to complain.
No, you should make the gifs so they're short enough steps they just repeat and aren't confusing. Make sense? I'm going to write another post on this in more detail I think.
Where does this end? Are companies going to start posting for interns to pay them for the privilege of an internship?

I know how it works, I just find it worse, by far. There's a whole lot more overhead to getting it working, specifically all of the foo.prototype stuff, and it doesn't require that everything be together.

Sure, it's kinda nice that you're able to extends objects later on, but I'd rather have everything neatly declared in one place.

It definitely does not "give me a whole new opinion on what OOP means", it furthers my opinion that I'm not a fan of JavaScript.

Then you just have to ask yourself if you want society to dictate how you live your life.

Well, no, I don't. But its an unavoidable force that has and will continue to dictate almost every waking moment of my life.

Switching from one broadly socially acceptable state (drinking socially) to another broadly socially acceptable state (never drinking) does not change the level to which society dictates how you live your life. The only thing that changes is that your sobriety may be a curiosity for people that engage in drinking.
That's a gross exaggeration. Until you show me a number of burned out hulks of cars from a "Tuesday" in a US city, it's your stereotypes against my actual examples.
BCC doesn't make 250k a year. It's made that all time. It's more like 60k a year per his yearly reports.
No, the power-aware scheduler in Linux does not work as you describe. On a turbo-capable Intel CPU, if there are N program threads that will fit on M cores where M is less than the total cores on a socket, and the CPU will enter P0 state, then the threads will run on as few cores as possible and the remaining cores will be shut down.
Good stuff. Congrats to the founders on the pivot and the success.

Getting the MVP approach right is hard. Really hard. Either that, or I have just been doing it wrong. We have one line of business that is our bread and butter. It came up the old fashioned way: getting in the trenches, gutting it out, and tweaking the model until we gained traction. Since then, we have launched no less than 3 new businesses. Two were shutdown and one is currently languishing.

The challenge is marketing. It's hard, there is too much noise, and when the product is not refined, conversions can suffer. So, it can be difficult to discern whether your company is failing because of the minimal product (especially in these days of "high design"), because of some other execution element, or just no market fit.

I also think the MVP approach is suitable to businesses with specific characteristics and these may be relatively rare. In this case, the business already had fairly extensive relationships with its target market on both sides of the equation. That was key, I believe, as much of the marketing legwork had been done and the established trust could override any qualms about such a minimalist approach. Also, the nature of the business was such that simple forms and manual processes were sufficient to start. That is frequently not the case with tech businesses.

This is not to disparage their accomplishments in the slightest. It was an astute pivot and their approach was smart. It's just that the mantra of MVP, fast iterations, fail fast, etc. has been the magic hammer lately, and too many companies have been nails.

It's my fervent hope that developments like source maps and asm.js will eliminate what it basically Javascript's sole competitive advantage; that it's the only language that runs in a browser.

If it's possible to write performant, robust code with good tooling in CoffeeScript/Dart/TypeScript/Python/Clojure/etc., then the peculiarities of Javascript become a lot less important.
