Reduced implicit learning is not in fact a "bad" thing, although we may quickly assume so at first glance. I suppose if you read the title of this post and thought "wait what? They're saying mindfulness is bad?" then that would be an example of where your implicitly acquired knowledge failed to some extent.

In fact, a common cause of disturbance within people is that they are too affected by implicit "I did this and that happened" learnings and not of the true intent/meaning behind actions and reactions.

I love this story and it's a great effort by this law school. I wonder if there could be some crowdsourced efforts to pool together key documents, resources, processes, etc so that defending against a patent troll could be more efficient. This would lower costs of defense and further discourage patent trolls.
"His patent application was eventually denied on the basis that it was 'wholly theoretical, everything being based upon calculation and nothing upon trial or demonstration.'"

He'd get that patent today. Little as it might avail him.
It offers the ability to run VB.NET codebases. Transpiling them into C# offers cost with little benefit (for stable code that is rarely updated), while running it on Mono allows for hosting infrastructure upgrades.

But if anyone cared, they would do it. No one cares, so it does not get done.
That isn't fair.

There are two separate classes of functions of a car: it's "multi-tonne death machine" functions (gas, break, crash safety, etc) and it's "(luxury) automobile" functions (doors opening, screen, etc). The later is what is mostly going wrong and needing debugging.
Its a cool idea but as the post suggests air pressure on the vacuum spheres is a major problem. The crush force on the sphere will scale 40x the lift factor. So 1 gram of lift, 40 grams of crush.

Once you reach scales of 10,000 kilograms you'll be dealing with keeping 400,000 kilograms of weight out of your vacuum.
That sounds about right for dealer maintenance on a luxury car. In reality they probably put less than $10 of fluids in the car, replaced batteries for a couple bucks, popped in a new air filter for $20, and spent 15 minutes moving the tires between axles. You're really just paying for the dealership's time to do those things.
I dont understand why is Hadoop so freaking slow. I am no fan of Java (to put it mildly) but Java does fairly well to keep in the 70~80% of a C++ code at the cost of 4 to 5 times more memory. My experience is that Hadoop is 4 to 6 times slower.

Is it because of bad choice of internal algorithms, bad choice of internal data structures ? Bad I/O design ? Given the popularity it enjoys, and given its age, its a little frightening how much worse Hadoop is in comparison to some proprietary implementations. My hunch is that Hadoop's slowdown is in the shuffle phase, which is where faster network data transfer can help.

I like abstractions that spark exposes but it still needs a lot of engineering to catchup. I have anecdotes where Spark is slower than Hadoop by quite a bit.

All my experience is with Hadoop 1.x. Is Hadoop 2.x much better ?
We've used Sendbloom for this, they have an automated response system with the ability to bump previous conversations and a programmatic funnel that solves these same problems.
The linked articles from the 1887 New York Times are wonderful:

"The means by which passengers will be landed en route is also in doubt. Some suggest that they will simply be dropped overboard and their luggage thrown after them, while others maintain that a coil of greased rope for the purposes of descent will be carried on each and every machine."

Truly the Hyperloop of its day.

The purpose of subsidized loans is to redirect debt towards a specific area. Society determines that people should be given preferential treatment if they are borrowing for certain purposes and they pass laws to reflect that. Typically these are things like higher education and homes. When this happens, it changes the calculus of an individual -- borrowing towards these specific purposes becomes more appealing because you get more for your money. I'm not arguing that this is either good or bad.

However, I don't see the logic of both complaining that we spend too much on something while at the same time advocating more subsidies for those who want to borrow to buy more of it.
From what I understand about BMW's getting out of the shop for less than <1000$ is a pittance... (at least once that warranty is over)

~700$ for routine maintenance seems like a lot. But they did do a shitload of work on the car (like replacing the entire rear passenger seating) for free.
The advantage over hydrogen at atmospheric pressure is really minor, too.

IMO this only goes to show that the real terrorists have actually won. They knew they could never achieve victory in a direct confrontation, but they managed to make a country destroy itself by sacrificing its own values over paranoia. I do wonder if that was their real plan all along or if they themselves were surprised by how well it worked.
>Lets not be too quick to call out the lynch mobs here.

Do you really think its a good idea to use the phrase "lynch mobs" when referring to the backlash of an apparently racially charged shooting, where the parent article is specifically about race issues?

Amazon runs a program called 'AWS Activate' which gives you access to a lot of startup resources including promotional AWS credit. The program is generally only available to startups affiliated with certain accelerators, incubators, or seed funds. We came to an agreement enabling us to include that same deal in the BetaList Bundle.

Only if you're already part of that program you're not eligible for the offer (as stated on our site and Amazon's) and there are a few other 'standard' criteria like not using your AWS account on behalf of any other governmental entity, etc. I don't expect these to apply to anyone buying the bundle however.

I'd be surprised if running (hence: verifying) the entire Hale's proof would take more than a few minutes.

I would have said the same thing before reading the announcement, but it says it took 5000 hours for some of the computations:

The term the_nonlinear_inequalities is defined as a conjection of several hundred nonlinear inequalities. The domains of these inequalities have been partitioned to create more than 23,000 inequalities. The verification of all nonlinear inequalities in HOL Light on the Microsoft Azure cloud took approximately 5000 processor-hours. Almost all verifications were made in parallel with 32 cores, hence the real time is about 5000 / 32 = 156.25 hours

Would those computations have to be repeated by every verifier? Or is theresome kind of certificate that can be verified faster?
It seems like only a trained expert can understand what they're saying.

Or, put another way: This paper desperately needs a translator for us laymen. We could puzzle over what the paper is saying, but hopefully someone in the field will write a translative comment.

Until then, everyone seems to be making comments based off of what they hope the paper is saying rather than its true findings. For example, it seems like the paper claims they administered a grammatical task, and performance on verbal tasks is a distinct type of learning. Someone can fail their English exams but still be an amazing artist, for example.

Good discussion. "Islamist"? Is there any reason for your arbitrary label? Robert Bales was never branded with his religion.

It seems as if we are judging and labeling people by their demographic group. German trespasser = Artist. South Bronx trespasser = hoodlum; at least before the art of graffiti became mainstream.

If a muslim person calling themselves an artist - it is in fact an arbitrary title, climbed the bridge how many of us would laugh at the police for their "stupid over-reacting"?

Things change, in Roebling's day, a German climbing the bridge may have been labeled a terrorist by the American public. John Roebling was friends with Horace Greeley, who once employed the German Karl Marx at his paper the New York Tribune

Oh, never mind.. having tried it out and looking briefly at the code, it seems it really only implements the adb shell command — it doesn't implement an adb server, and all other commands are delegated to the official adb binary. So there's very little if anything in common with the upstream code.
Right, so what's sad about that?

What happens if a vacuum sphere that can lift 10t implodes?
My house insurance calls out certain extreme circumstances as being ineligible for coverage. Yes, including nuclear war.

I agree, it's not really quantifiable. However, Amazon lists their durability to a number of significant figures that implies they are able to quantify the risk down to that level. Yet these unquantifiable risks give every appearance of being considerably larger than Amazon's figure.

Does Amazon's figure come with a "excluding loss due to ..." clause? If so, what do they exclude?

I have wondered if such a thing could be designed for use in the upper atmosphere and dropped in from space. That would avoid the need to keep out the full atmosphere. But then so would pumping out the air as it gained altitude...
I'm not sure why they'd want it. Unless there's secret non-volatile storage on Intel chips, there's relatively little of value that you can do using a rogue microcode update. This is because Intel chips reset to factory microcode when rebooted.

It's plausible that a rogue microcode update could be used to bypass TPM static-root-of-trust protections, though, and a microcode update could certainly bypass TXT's dynamic root of trust. This might enable a bootable USB stick that would load malicious microcode and then reboot warmly enough to preserve the microcode and then launch the OS with a TXT bypass.

Even so, I don't really see the point. So far, essentially every BIOS can be freely (or freely using an exploit) reflashed from kernel mode, and a new image could contain malicious SMM code, and SMM code can also bypass both static and dynamic roots of trust.
At no point did the kid enter the car. You want us to believe that a teenager, starting college the next day, dove into the drivers side of the car to steal a police officers gun. Picture that for a second and if that doesn't make you laugh then i don't know what will. The eyewitness accounts make the most sense so far.

Secondly, the gunshot to the back doesn't make sense. The gunshots while his hand were up also doesn't make sense. It seems like the cop was wrong on a number of levels.
In my experience, Capybara is the integration testing tool that teams with various skills use. Capybara is mostly just DSLs so you can get away not knowing Ruby all that much and still be effective with it. Will you write the most maintainable integration test suite of all time? Likely not, but your team can still be productive with it.

If most of your team knows JavaScript, there is CasperJS[0] which is like Capybara but for JavaScript.

Oh, I've had issues with my cars. The Lexus required a new radio at 40k miles (warrantied). The GTI a new throttle sensor at 40k (warrantied) and SRS sensor at 50k (warrantied).

But none of them caused the car to be undriveable. And all happened after several years of driving, not several months.

Anyway, as I hinted at above, I'm hopeful Tesla is successful. I wanted a Roadster back in '08. I want an S now. And I'm sure when they release their 3-series competitor, it'll be on the short list to replace the Lexus.

Yes it does. It would be a major mathematical revolution if you discovered a new shape that exists in our world that has a better SA:V ratio.
The major weakness of a vacuum airship is that a breach of the pressure hull will compromise the vacuum and thus the buoyancy. So any truly useful solution will require a number of independent vacuum cells.

Here's a discussion about the topic: http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=29285

Edit: Actually, it's not just an issue about the proper noun ending in "s", but the proper noun ("Consumer Reports") is actually using a plural noun, reports. For the case of making a plural possessive, most would agree that you just add an apostrophe without an additional "s" (s' rather than s's).
