Wow, I didn't know that. Being from Europe and having only visited the US once (East Coast), I had the impression they were everywhere.

New York has a working mass transit system, though. For poor people this makes the world of a difference. I remember that, when I lived in Madrid a few years back, I was impressed by how fast you could go _everywhere_ in that city with the subway alone. A cross-town morning commute in that 3Mil Juggernaut took about as long as the cross-town car-commute in a less developed 130K city I had lived in before.
There is no such thing as a valid CSV file.

The RFC declares itself "informational" and says things like there is no formal
specification in existence, which allows for a wide variety of
interpretations of CSV files. This section documents the format that
seems to be followed by most implementations:

There are certainly reasonable arguments about the useful subset of rules.
From the source cited on Wikipedia[1]:

"I will not give too much detail about what I did wrong, just say it concerns payment systems on the Internet. I spent two years taking risks becoming larger, perhaps because it was an exciting side … whatever, I ended up getting arrested"

Without more details it doesn't mean much, but it does sound a bit more than using a stray card -- if that translated post is actually from him.
"Another is epigenetic changes in the genes of the neurons themselves which alter their behavior."

Fascinating. I wasn't aware that epigenetics had a role in memory formation - I think I assumed it all happened at the electrochemical level. I found some information at [1] but its fairly impenetrable for a non-specialist. Anyway, thanks!

From the changelog:

* ssh(1): if hostname canonicalisation is enabled and results in the
destination hostname being changed, then re-parse ssh_config(5) files
using the new destination hostname. This gives 'Host' and 'Match'
directives that use the expanded hostname a chance to be applied.

Finally makes canonicalisation /useful/, since before that you would still need to have specialized Host/Match rules (this would make canonicalisation only helpful for ControlPath basically).
Thank you for the clarification, looks like I commented on the wrong thread xD
Android Malware Involved in the Mining for Various Digital Currencies

I've become used to the alt-3 combo now, but it took a long time. I type # a lot more than I ever type £. $, too.
Ha.

Nevertheless even going back as far as 1931, the Geneva convention "CONVENTION CONCERNING THE UNIFICATION OF ROAD SIGNALS" says:

Signs Prohibiting Passage: For these signs, the colour red must clearly predominate and must be used so as to bring into relief the general contour of the sign. The other colours to be used are optional except in the following cases[1]

I still say stop signs are universally expected to be red. Some singular counter-examples don't disprove that - they just show there are some weird things that happen.

I'd also note that linked example was posted from Reddit (in a joke sub-reddit) and it is entirely possible it was photoshopped. Other examples of green stop signs found by Google seems to be almost all photoshopped or on private property.

And even more funny is the fact that there is absolutely _nothing_ hinting that is is planned or would happen with Oculus at all. Sure, there is a possibility, but at this points its mostly just wild speculations and pure hating imho.
There's a Walmart retail location in Mountain View near San Antonio Station.
The taxi analogy is pretty good, but only adequately describes an alt-coin with no cap. Bitcoin is more like to the medalions available in limited supply for NYC cabs (which, given the amount of money that is expected to pass through the cabs, are extremely valuable).
Probably the difference is that when you are bored, you read HN but when this guy was bored, he created a piece of art.
That's putting a value of zero on being fined (or worse). I don't think the risk is non-zero. Just takes one zealous AG to file a case against you (even if you're out of jurisdiction, there's a non-zero chance you might end up passing through at some point).

I also think Scala has shown Kotlin the way, and Kotlin – in terms of adopting features based on maturity – is half way between Scala and Java, which is a better place to be, IMO, at least for those companies that want to try new things but don't want to mess with the cutting edge, either.

Personally, I think Scala is a decent research language for testing out language features, but it is not a right fit for adoption in large organizations. Obviously, others will disagree, but that's not the point.

The point is that some organizations and developers want to use cutting edge languages, and the majority are more conservative. Neither of them is "right", and both are necessary. Early adopters show the way by trying new things sometimes successfully and sometimes less so, and without them we'll be stuck in our old ways. But if everyone were an early adopter, the industry would frantically jump from one language to another, re-inventing libraries and not getting much actual work done.

In science, a lot of people use ASCII and flat files. I used to really dislike it, but over time I understood that there are certain practical reasons to do this which deserve respect.

Due to the volume and novelty of data that we work with, we are often pushed into a corner between human time and machine time. Each data set comprises a new set of concepts, and each is huge. In this corner, sometimes a character-delimited file is the best solution. There is not time to carefully craft a binary format and then document it so it will not be forgotten later, nor is there time to wait for a general-purpose format parser to operate on tens of billions of records. We need a solution that can be designed in 1 minute and be legible by all of our tools without modification.

Typically, I have used tabs in the place of the ASCII separators. This ensures readability without any kind of parsing. Also, this lets me use the default behaviors of well-worn, bug-free tools in the core of the Unix toolchain for basic data processing tasks. Frankly, this is not a bad compromise.

If you are passing messages around a web stack, JSON, XML, and friends are ideal solutions. If you have to occasionally deal with CSV, use a parser. I just want to note that for many tasks in data analysis, it's OK to simply use the dead and dusted convention of mixed delimiters and data.

As these things develop, I will be trying to investigate how to use more modern formats such as binary JSON representations in my work, and I'd be curious what solutions people here suggest for working with very large data (e.g. many trillions of observations).
I use PyCharm and WebStorm om my 11" MBA without much problem. Just hide all the panels when you're editing and open/close them with the hot keys as and when you need to use them. Sure it's not as nice as working on my nice desktop setup at home or in the office, but it's not really difficult.
You are assuming that the individuals are distinct - it is FAR more likely that a TLA agency has implanted support engineers who operate on their orders.
Wellll... it really is a union card. The fact that a person has a PhD from a reputable institution does in fact set an absolute baseline: this person managed to do something that was sufficiently close to being science for other scientists to call it science.

I would say that if we want to think in terms of "union cards", we should just scrap the PhD and pin "science ranks" to publication metrics, as the real scientific job market already does. After all, what we really need from a scientific union card isn't to tell us how good a scientist is (and it doesn't do that), it's just to give us some baseline for separating real scientists from crackpots and wannabes (of which there are far too many).
There tends to be less overhead in TSV. Unless you want to represent text that has embedded tabs it seems unnecessary. It works with standard *nix tools. Not a bad compromise and part of the reason that people whose standard "file" is 100Gb prefer it.
How would you go about proving that?

Also, is this something that has to be resolved before big advancements can be made in strong AI?
And you have zero arguments to present to support your claims. Nicely done, future armchair CEO.
I was going to down vote but decided to reply instead. The problem is that although it's possible he couldn't feed his family after having his account terminated there is no way to know. I've worked with and for a lot of people on sites like oDesk and unfortunately discovered there are a lot of assholes in the world. I've had 'westerners' rip me off just as much as low paid workers. So although it's possible this guy was now broke it's also possible he was just an asshole.

>> Maybe situations that involve basically exploiting workers in other countries need a bit more sensitivity.

I disagree that he was being exploited. Yes, he was being paid a lot less than someone in the US but the cost of living where he is is probably much, much lower. And like you say he has a nice job as a computer programmer. He's obviously a smart guy. He can create another account, or use a different site.
This sign in a national park in South Africa looks very similar. I thought it might be the same place, but the landscape is completely different.

The imgur link has the other sign, which looks very much in the style of the US National Park Service.
I would be curious to know the answer. Though, I should have added in my original post that I am far from the originator of this view. I see a sibling post elaborated. I think the crux is simply that without the "in place" nature, it loses a lot of its speed advantage. Cache localities and such.
Dueling Developers Go to War Over Duke Nukem's Fate
I admire your certainty. Maybe it is as simple as that and I'm overthinking it.

I can't quite express the difficulty I'm having in a comment so I'll try to write it up some time.

I can't argue it yet, but my intuitive feeling is that it's socially irresponsible to create this economy for them and then pull the plug like this. The bigger picture, I think, is that OP got his code stolen which sucks, but the contractor (or one like him) may have to sell a kidney or go back to working 18 hour shifts in the factory with toxic fumes now. That doesn't seem proportionate.
I don't see how the possibility of abuse immediately assumes execution. For now, we have no evidence of Huawei engineers abusing the infrastructure.

Good Kitchen Knives

Ideally, a whole block of them, but all you really need is one, and that'll run you less than $100.

No more laboriously sawing through an onion with that flimsy dull serrated piece of worthlessness. A good sharp knife should glide right through anything you care to stick between it and the board. Onions, tomatoes (without squishing), probably even your thumb a few times until you learn how to use it right.

Zwilling J.A. Henckels are my choice. Not overly expensive. Overly good at chopping things in half. Sorted.

I'm pretty sure that's later development. Otherwise it would be called "prefix" or "extend".

Providing cloud computing services is bulk business where the economies of scale is important Google is itself cloud computing company. When they sell resources to others, it's way to become bigger and reduce cost margins for the platform they are using for themselves.

As long as there are people who pay more for the Google cloud service than Google's own usage is worth, selling to others reduces the overall costs of computing for Google.
Certainly some jurisdiction might decide this isn't "fair" and attempt prosecution? May be worth a headline somplace near election time.
There's probably better ones avaliable now on github, but this one caught my eye.

I was wondering, are there any examples of mazes (real or programs) where the structure, rules or walls change based on a certain algorithmic pattern?

So that you've not only got to find the right way out, but you must crack the code before a way out is even possible.

I don't see how this is relevant.

What we're discussing is the subjective perception of both agencies. NSA has most of their programs exposed, as opposed to the PLA, and yet the public still gives NSA the benefit of the doubt. Now that's what I call freedom.

The data for the top 10 countries are being pulled from the Census Bureau's International Database. Here's the US data: http://www.census.gov/population/international/data/idb/regi...

There, you can see 2014's mid-year population is identical to the top 10 chart.

So 318,892,103 is the estimated mid-year population for 2014 (July 1), whereas 317,760,552 is the estimated population as of today (March 27).
Are minds are not like computers because we humans have 'emotions.'

Emotions affects the mind's performance and what memories are activated.
I would have thought that a nuke would do something to the spin of the earth, for example.

Also if we disrupted the ocean currents it may have effect. Apart from killing off lots of animals, of course.
If that's true, it suggests taste for interesting problems might be a different kind of taste (is there a difference between taste for problems and taste for solutions?) Either way it begs the question: how do you cultivate taste for interesting problems?

From his Wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeman_Dyson

His friend, the neurologist and author Oliver Sacks, said: "A favorite word of Freeman's about doing science and being creative is the word 'subversive'. He feels it's rather important not only to be not orthodox, but to be subversive, and he's done that all his life."
If there is an example where such an optimization has actually been implemented and correctly chosen, that is news to me.

I mean, to a very large extent, this is the reason why classical imperative languages are so easy to understand and reason about. The programmers directions are much more straight forwardly executed than in examples like these hypotheticals.

Oh, I just got to your last sentence. Basically, that this would be a lot more verbose if written in such a way that it would be in place. Which is kind of the point of this criticism. Isn't it?

Don't get me wrong, the power of Haskell is not really in question. Just that example.

I could smell the "Chinese Room" argument coming from the first line of that article.

Of course the real answer is still and have been for a long long time. "We don't know"

And even though he seems to be trying to expand on the "Chinese Room" argument a little it still does not prove anything.

Of course the person in the room does not know Chinese as little as each individual neuron in my brain "knows" Chinese, it's the whole system that knows Chinese.

And if that is not enough for you you have to explain this.

If seemingly "dumb" matter can combine to become smart humans, then whats to hinder silicon to build so much complexity that a mind emerges?

No the real answer is still "we don't know"
A guess would be that there are strict rules and regulations about placement of official road signs even on private property. These signs are probably unofficial signs placed by property owners to regulate traffic on their property and thus legally have to look different from the signs placed by the local department of transport (or whoever is responsible)
> Yes, the article is accurate.

It's not. A cooled down body is still alive. There's no such thing as a state "where people are not alive but not yet dead".
1. I was trying to display that NSA engages in the same actions as the PLA.
2. Real evidence points to real attacks on americans carried out by the NSA. The only tangible shred of information we have about the PLA comes from CNN/MSNBC/Business Insider talking points, and we all know how objective those are.

Happened (or rather still happens) to me too. My game X-Type[1] was stolen by a Chinese company called Leiyoo[2], who tout themselves as pioneers of HTML5 gaming.

They copied everything[3], including my tracking code, but at least changed the name to "Thunder Fighter"[4]. I receive about 20k visits per day from their domain. All my efforts trying to contact them amounted to nothing.

Btw.: is there a way to ignore certain domains in GA? This pollutes all my stats and I have no way to turn it off, other than getting a new tracking code.

I use both a French AZERTY and a Québec QWERTY everyday (at work/home) and I think they are simply equally good for both typing French and for coding.

You're assuming emotions are some kind of magic that happens outside of your neurons and synapses. They don't. Provided we can accurately simulate neurons, synapses and how they interact in an accurate enough way such machines could have emotions. The challenge is obviously in achieving the above.
