Simkl: It’s Time to Build a Better TV, Anime, Movie Watchlist and Tracker
The way they were originally marketing indicated they learned from the people playing with them, which means they had some way of observing things and recording information about what they saw.

I think it was later worked out they did no such thing, but by that time they were already banned from secure installations.
But they are passable without that much effort. Just persistence.

It depends on a person's background. There are people like Jeff Heaton who have years of professional experience in Data Science taking an introductory data science course, and there are invariably people taking machine learning with no programming experience. But in the sweet spot for any class there will be people who are really stretched. People who will spend twenty or thirty hours on a programming assignment that some people complete in one.

I enrolled in the last iteration of Van Hentenreck's Discreet Optimization. A great course and his enthusiasm is infectious. I learned a lot. Saw where I needed to go. But there was no chance I was going to pass. I just don't have the chops...yet, hopefully.

One of the things that makes Discreet Optimization a great MOOC course is that it can be approached at different levels. A student can attack the problems using dedicated optimization libraries. If that's not enough of a challenge, they can write their own algorithms. And if that's not enough, they can prove optimality for each of their solutions.

And like every Coursera computing course there are people who can do all of it. And most who cannot.

Papers had two downfalls for me, which were that it had no functionality similar to Mendeley's sync to .bib option, and it made weird citekeys when you manually exported lists.

Using Pandoc and its referencing tools requires .bib files, and Mendeley's automatic .bib export means I can just type citekeys and expect them to work. And if you want your text to make sense as a markdown file, you want your citekey clean and informative. It's been a while, but I think Papers used citekeys that didn't conform to any sort of spec (something like :_blah instead of Author:DATE), and pandoc simply couldn't read them.

I use Mendeley now. Doesn't have the cool research tools figured out as well as Papers, but it does what it's supposed to do, which is to store my citations in a way that makes it easy to put them in a paper.
It just means that after a year or so I'll have to put Cyanogen on it. No big deal.
Turns out there is a lot of variability in California, depending on the provider - here are some hard SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration) numbers.

California ranges from 60 minutes of outages (SDGE) to 931 minutes of outages (Pacificorp)

http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/PUC/energy/ElectricSR/Reliability/ann...

In this slide, http://desismartgrid.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Towards-..., for North delhi power limited (NDPL), they improved their SAIDI from 56 to 47 minutes.

So, (very ironically) - you are correct - it's not unreasonable to say that there are parts of California that are one order of magnitude worse than areas of India.

I realize that's not the point you were trying to make, but I always find it interesting to chase the data and see what it has to say.

From a bigger picture, though - California really does have notoriously bad power quality in terms of outages, not even including the rolling blackouts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_electricity_crisis) we had back in 2000/2001 (and justified me being allowed to purchase about $500K worth of generators, Diesel Belly tanks, and UPS systems for our server room)

On my walk to work, at least once a month in the morning, I hear all of the buildings in Redwood City firing up their generators to do their monthly tests - nobody "relies" on PG&E Power for critical services, they plan for the outages.

Just as a comparison - I'm in Singapore right now, and their SAIDI is .53 minutes/year. I've yet to see a generator being tested outside of Critical Facilities like data centers/emergency facilities.
Wow. Passwords on the phone? You've changed the password strength from a combination of 26 lowercase letters + 26 upper case letters + 10 digits + 30 punctuation characters to just 12 characters. For an 8 character password that goes from (92^8)/2 to (12^8) permutations of characters.

But this is silly really, because I've never seen a case sensitive phone keypad, which is part of their complexity requirements.

You should take a serious look at using powershell, they've aliased a lot of commands to what you expect on linux so you're not completely foreign and it's got a similar workflow mentality you're used to i.e pipe commands.

And you can work with .NET natively.

That said it is NOT to imitate linux, it's conceptually not the same which is good because Windows isn't either.

Here's a 101; commands are `verb-noun -parameter value` these pipe | objects(!) not strings. The first thing you should do is win+R powershell type: get-alias and after that `get-help ls` just drop in powershell wherever you used to calling cmd and see how it goes.

Yes, I was not thinking of java (nor any other jit compiler) saying that, but more specifically of C and C++.

Also note, in those, it's not especially the building part that annoys me (running tests can just be as long, even in interpreted languages), but more the high verbosity of code you have to write (again, not speaking of java, here).
I'm also a big fan of BibDesk. I used to use Papers 1, but it was always a little buggy. Then the paid upgrade to Papers 2 was a big kick in the shins (paying to upgrade to an even buggier program with some features removed).

I tried Zotero standalone and Mendeley also, but the switch to BibDesk was a fresh breath of air. If you're using a bibtex workflow, I highly recommend it. It isn't the prettiest program out there, but it is fast, stable, and functional.
Damn, now I had to add it to my watch list in Coursera, seems very interesting. Of course, my background is in maths, so even if I did no machine learning back then I know how to fill the gaps as needed and as fast as possible. If someone just rang my door and told me he passed ML without any prior programming experience, I'd hire him: it definitely shows an incredible will and self-learning ability. In my case... Well, I got to know a little better some formalisms of machine learning, and also got me thinking more about ML problems, which is fun and gets me brewing with interesting ideas.

Tamil Nadu. Look at Tamil Nadu, one of the most prosperous states. Many areas there have outages longer than they have power. Chennai has shorter scheduled outages but because of the immense shortage of generation, this results in the rest of the state suffering.

New Delhi is the capital. The north has less of a shortage, but capitals (like Chennai) are usually more insulated from blackouts anyway so looking at them alone will give you a poor idea.

Also, do your figures include planned outages? Many places in TN, India have daily planned outages called load shedding.

BYOD Risks Obviated by Two-Factor Authentication
I will try:

Imagine flattening the 3D space (Figure 5) down onto the 2D space of the floor.

Then, the image is trying to illustrate which sections of the 2D space have been selected as 'cat' by the classifier (green plane).

Visually, you can imagine that the cat heads have each pushed down a chunk of the green plane (the dog heads have held the green plane up off the ground).

This illustrates that the third dimension was important for separating out the cats: they certainly aren't separated by a clean line in those two dimensions.

However, it also illustrates that the separation might be slightly contrived: looked at in 2D, the green plane seems to have plucked out the odd cats correctly but without logic.

One goal is to show that using a high number of dimensions will guarantee that you can separate dogs and cats, but that this is just an over-fitted solution to the data set that you have: it will not continue to work when you apply it to further data.
Another word of advice: Try to use the pipeline as much as possible. Passing objects through the pipeline is a core concept of PowerShell for a reason. Don't try writing C# with PowerShell syntax (as I see so many people do on Stack Overflow).

I assume jokoon's point wasn't that he(?) needs a phone without a camera, rather that the camera is completely superfluous for him(?) and would like an option to get a phone without a camera for a cheaper price, even if only marginally cheaper.

I actually wouldn't mind that myself. I'm never without a 'real' camera without at least an APS-C sized sensor, so the camera on my cellphones might as well not exist. If I could get even a couple dollar discount on a phone with no camera I'd take it.

Having said all of that, I realize that it makes no business sense for any phone maker to cater to me considering the costs of having a separate camera-less SKU would far outweigh any additional sales they might get by catering to the extreme minority of people like me, and having a phone with no camera option at all is just too niche to bother with.

I'll speak up for bibtex files, while I was writing my doctorate I was adverse to spending time choosing between the different apps, so I kept an extra window with my master bibtex file (all the papers I read) open.

It probably would've been quicker to just throw em all in a citation manager, but I got great feedback in a "you really know your area, well-cited work" way when defending.

I suspect it has to do with exFAT drivers. IIRC, Motorola devices (like Nexus/GPE devices) don't include exFAT support (to avoid Microsoft entanglements). Unfortunately, microSD cards larger than 32GB come pre-formatted as exFAT, so they won't work without reformatting as FAT.

Rather than get into all of the various complications, I suspect it's easier for them to say 32 GB is the limit (and let people who care enough figure out the workaround themselves).

Unfortunately it is (sometimes) difficult to force technology to comply to our arbitrary social norms. See a lot of the examples of special cases and complications in this thread. A better example is the attempts to enforce copyright law on the internet.

I don't disagree with you, I'm saying it's rarely as simple as just banning X, once technology makes X possible.

More could/should be added, because the real world is complex. For an ideal world we would probably need a framework that would support: support for courts/judges (human parties that could issue their verdict on cases and compete for cases), a system for proving real world identities (could be done by trusted human parties, maybe the same courts/judges, that could operate on the real world also, seeking the people outside the system), long written text descriptions of cases and testimonies, a search engine. I don't know. What do you think?

Another major problem is the State, that would probably try to make this system illegal if it becomes popular. This shouldn't be a problem for the system itself, because it could work on a peer-to-peer basis, but to the parties involved in the cases, if their names are made public.
