You're right, maybe I do not understand because of different meaning of those words in english, which is not, in fact, my native language, but let me try explain you what I think.

From wikipedia we read:

Turing completeness

A computational system that can compute every Turing-computable function is called Turing complete (or Turing powerful). Alternatively, such a system is one that can simulate a universal Turing machine.

From the first part I think compute means that from some input A there is output B. It is later explained in 'computable function' article:

Each computable function f takes a fixed, finite number of natural numbers as arguments. Note that the functions are partial in general, i.e. they may not be defined for every possible choice of input. If a computable function is defined for a certain input, then it returns a single natural number as output (this output can be interpreted as a list of numbers using a pairing function).

So if computable function is returning something that means it halts. We are able to compute every halting algorithm in preprocessor hence it is turing complete.

Second part of this definitions says that one has to simulate turing machine (and uses the word 'alternatively' so basically it has to be the same but I can go anyway). I think that 'simulate' in this context mean 'producing same output' rather than 'doing step by step the same'. Internal tape states at certain point in time should not matter because while running they might change (or if they matter we could just return list of pair {state,time} at the end).

There is no doubt that non-halting turing machines exists but I'm not sure if that apply to this particular problem anyhow since they are not computing anything.

Possibly cue South Park Super Cool Ski Instructor meme. If your first-stated reason "to talk" is "more than 80% worth of discounts", then you're going to have a bad time if the work you are outsourcing is at all highly-skilled. For highly-routinized process work by ops staff, sure, knock yourself out; but you're going to find extremely qualified folks for that in the heartland of the US working for wages competitive with the offshore outfits as well.

How logical is it that you will find someone smart enough to hack full-stack or even a Fabrice Bellard-grade hacker, but not savvy enough to sift through sales channels until they command a rate commensurate with their demonstrated delivery capabilities? This is unicorn-hunting. They do exist, you can land them, but in the meantime your competitors are focusing on Getting Shit Done by not wasting time trying to prematurely optimize their expense structure. If these unicorns were so easily abundant, and if it was that easy, then Google would have long since abandoned recruiting at American universities.

You might have better results if you specified in more detail what you are looking for. Generally, my experience is that coding talent is roughly evenly smeared across the global pool; I'm looking generally for devops types that know their OS's, basic data and control structures in an Algol'ish language (scripted and/or compiled), and work well when customer-facing. There isn't enough difference between geographies to alter the basic recruitment search strategy though tactics will differ (the technical culture is relatively consistent across the globe). Not enough difference to yield dramatically better returns at least, so nationality won't determine whether you get "lower quality" or "outdated" coders. In my experience, individuals' personalities and company culture has a far greater impact on code quality than nationality or ethnicity.

In my market space, given how long it really takes to absorb a significant technical base, on the order of 12-18 months, I'm not inclined to "yield chase" by trying to find cheap technical staff with a turnover that is frequently sooner than that spin-up time before truly insightful work from them starts to get traction. YMMV, so please share your details.

EDIT2: Got my answer in the white paper, yes they are adjuvants. Still would like to know why PLGA and what the mechanism of how they appear more "threatening" is.

On the chicken&egg problem, imho a front page with the 1st news having 2 comments and all others with just the button "discuss" is a first evidence of missing community.

I'd consider hiding that at the very beginning in favor of other signals that actually show the presence of the initial community.

At Theneeds.com, where we aim to create a HN-like for "normal" people, i.e. no hackers (and no ventures :), we started with a facepile that generically represents users that interacted with the content, wether they simply upvoted or actually discussed it. I understand that the style here is less graphical, but I think the idea can be elaborated to reduce the "sense of desolation".

The fact that C programmers pass around explicit lengths kind of illustrates the point the author is trying to make, and that you're arguing with. The allocator stores enough state to make "free" work, but that state is not idiomatically available to C programmers. It would be a code smell if a C programmer pawed around malloc to get the size of a block. If you need to know the size of something in C, you arrange to always know it.

We have a lot to learn on how to use server push effectively. That said, let's analyze some actual use case..

a) Page A currently inlines half dozen small assets on every page. These inlined resources inflate every page and are delivered at same priority as HTML. By contrast, a "dumb push" server delivers these same assets as individual resources via push. Net benefit? Basically same performance since inlining is a form of application-layer push. However, a smart server can at least prioritize and multiplex push bytes in a smarter way... Now, let's make the server just a tiny bit smarter. If it's the same TCP connection and the server has already pushed the resource, don't push it on next request. Now we're also saving bytes... <insert own smarter strategy here>.

b) Page B has two CSS and one JS file in the critical rendering path. Without push you either inline all three (ouch), or, you roundtrip to the client and get it to parse the HTML to discover these resources and come back to the server... With push, the server can avoid the extra RTT and push those assets directly to the client -- this is a huge performance win. How does the server know? Well, either you made it smart.. or you use some adaptive strategy like looking at past referrers and building a map of "when client requests X, they also come back for Y and Z" - this is already available in Jetty.

The fears of extra bytes are also somewhat exaggerated (they're valid, but exaggerated). The client, if they desire, can disable push. The client can also use flow-control to throttle how much data can be transferred in first push window (both FF and Chrome do this already). Lastly, the client can always decline and/or RST a push resource.

I am original from India (now in New York), and I have hired over 40 developers, designers and marketers in New Delhi over the past few years.

You can hire good developers in India for $1,000 to $2,000 per month. It is viable to hire team in India, but hiring and managing them remotely is a nightmare. Remote teams in India are unreliable and not committed.

In India, you need hustle with your team to get shit done. The only way it is going to work is if you have someone one the ground.

Hiring good developers in India is difficult, retaining them is worse. Good developers are constantly bombarded by recruiters with very lucrative offers.

My 2 cents, It can be worth while if you want to go to India and build a development team. Stay away from outsourcing companies, they are only going to sink your time and money.
It's dishonest because no matter how many hot HN-echo-chamber companies you can find using Scala, it is still a language that nobody uses, in terms of the broader industry.
There are many millions of people who have HIV but not AIDS. Their immune systems work well, and their viral levels are controlled by medications. These people are on US health insurance and are highly monitored already, and easy to enroll in studies, easily accessed and monitored - as they already conform to an HIV medication regimen and see their doctors regularly.

Why would a company not test a technology that may well benefit both infected and uninfected people on both populations? You would only have more data. It will take much longer to see the results if you are only studying it as a preventative measure because you have to wait (a really long time, I would suspect) to see which of your study ends up getting HIV. Additionally, you'd need to study those that do get HIV (if some do, and some probably would, as even the best vaccines aren't 100% effective) and try to see if you can tell if their infection progresses differently or if it is somehow augmented by the vaccination's boost to the immune system. I mean... your explanation doesn't actually make that much sense to me.

Why not test both populations?

> The good news is that the particular case you see here is probably fixable with continued improvement.

Everything I've seen of Square suggests that they really are adopting the Paypal approach of "fuck you unless you're big enough or can rally someone big enough to make us care".

That is not fixable, really, without massive change. As much as I'm loathe to say this, I think the financial-services industry is in dire need of waves and waves and waves of frivolous litigation. If it were possible for cases like OP's to end up costing Square even a few hours of a corporate lawyer's time to get the complaint dismissed, that would be enough to tip the scale and make real customer service the cheaper option.

I work for a server manufacturer. We integrate other people's hardware (SuperMicro and Intel EPSD mostly) and sell it to customers. We sell everything from simple individual systems to highly-integrated multi-rack clusters to an incredibly diverse set of customers.

We were one of the initial Open Compute hardware partners thanks to some historical networking connections. We had almost zero interest in Open Compute from our customers. Maybe a dozen quotes total over six months, and we've never shipped a single Open Compute system despite all the initial hype, and despite the designs suiting a lot of our repeat customers. Nobody that would otherwise buy a commodity server wants these Open Compute designs, at least from us. We ended our Open Compute effort a few months ago.

Is anyone outside of the original designers actually using Open Compute hardware in a production environment?
Indeed. Or perhaps they are like a doomsday cultist's predictions of the end of the earth.

Nevertheless, I think predictions like this from people actively working in the field are something that shouldn't be dismissed out of hand.

What I am really curious about is the difference between Deep Learning using RBMs, PCA, Factor Analysis, Bayesian graphical models. All of them seem to treat a numerical problem in different ways. I'm particularly interested in the identifiability of the equations (and introduce some constraints to do so).. or else you have multiple (infinite) solutions. As far as I can tell, the deep learning is basically a multi layer RBM with greedy optimization at each level. Maybe that is good enough for text summarization or robotics, but in a mathematical sense depending on your starting vectors you can arrive at different local minima. In physical dynamical systems we are typically interested in the global solution from which we do further analyses to prove stability etc... Bayesian networks have loopy belief propagation, and of course PCA/SVD require strict linear independence.
Could you perhaps be specific about the "intolerable" thing we're talking about? Because all I see you writing about is nuclear weapons.
