By doing so you kind of assure homosexuality will always be victimized in Russia (and other societies you apply this too).

LGBT people need to come out of closet in numbers and assert their existence. They did this in USA and Europe, they still have to do that in every society remaining. They're not getting their rights unless they show themself.
That, and not the ticket to the USA for some of them and hatred for the rest of them, now for receiving that privilege too.

That's pretty much how the UK's postcodes are organised - the first one or two letters refer to the "postcode area", the first two to four characters including the postcode area refers to the postcode district, and then the rest gets you to the exact street (more often than not).
In my experience .Net has a very similar set of problems and cultural issues, so if those are the two you're comparing, I'm not surprised you don't see much difference...
Wiping out a species deliberately flies in the face of the philosophy of environmental conservation that we all learned in school and from media. However, we have wiped out organisms that threaten humans before (e.g. smallpox) and are currently in the process of wiping out others, such as polio and the guinea worm, which is a parasite that is ingested in contaminated water only to emerge, slowly and painfully, through the skin (see Dracunculiasis).

In terms of deaths caused, mosquitoes are undoubtedly far deadlier than any species humans have eradicated to date. In North America they are more of a nuisance than a deadly threat, but the same does not hold true for large portions of the world where they are a major disease vector. They are unquestionably worth eradicating if it ever becomes feasible to do so.

The question should not be whether or not we should eliminate the species of mosquitoes that feed on humans. Instead, we should ask how can we minimize the impact of eliminating these species. Can other species of mosquitoes that are not disease vectors, or other insects entirely, fill in the vacated niche? Is it possible to eradicate mosquitoes in test areas to see what the long-term impact is? If we do eradicate them globally, how long would we have to "hit reset" by hatching and releasing stored eggs if unforeseen consequences make it necessary?
There is a big difference between persecuted Jewish intellectuals and corrupt Chinese officials. I'm generalising obviously but hopefully you see my point.

I understand that unless you live in an area that is undergoing this demographic transformation, it can be hard to see the difference.
Guys, with cointopay.com we allow you to run your own altcoin node and use that to accept payments. Just found this initiative, this is great and we want to contribute for a solution that takes out the middleman. In someway Cointopay is also a middleman, but at least our mindset is the correct one regarding decentralization, hence we want to help.

I think you have the chicken and egg backwards. Issues with quality and service are what formed regulation in the first place. Regulation exists to fix a problem; look at the history of transportation, and the current state of 3rd world country transportation.

Cabs were dangerous and took advantage of people before regulation, much as 3rd world country cabs do today.

Your argument is not persuasive and is very short-sighted in terms of history.

And to take it one more step: Lead-uber, by skirting the laws that were not serving the consumer but rather entrenching an industry has been able to do more in five years than the entire lead mining industry has in 50.

Does that make you feel comfortable about 'disruption'? What makes mass transportation any different?

I've always wanted Person Address Codes in the US.

1. No more annoying and temporary change-of-address forms. We just moved, and our mail will be forwarded for 30 days. After that, well, I guess we better become friends with the people who live in our old apartment in case we forget to update an address.

2. Privacy! I can give out a way to mail me something without telling people where I physically live. This is not a big deal for me, but could be a big deal for 'famous' people and victims of domestic violence.
I had the same thought, but then what about people who have more than one house? Where would you bring the mail for a homeless person? Do they even get a number? What about mailing to a business vs. a person at that business?
Based on the backlash over Creative Cloud, I don't think they really care.
Anonymous Career Matchmaking
Apparently, this is from 2012. Even then, it was horeshit even then I bet.

I know little about China. But I did live there in the summer of 2005 teaching in Nanning (the former industrial hub running south to Vietnam, not Nanning the tourist trap).

Others have described the phenomenon. Rich Chinese families would hire white kids as tokens; tutors who lived with their children to teach their offspring "real English." I was not an exception; I found even a few in the same city.

The family I lived with was one of the richer families in my region. I thought the father ran a mid-level pharam company. Then I visited the site/office. It was a huge. Then people pointed out ads for this company on national Chinese TV, and billboards in other region on a family trip in the next province over and way south in Beihai (is that what it's called, maybe HNers can remind of the most southern Chinese beach areas near Vietnam; I forget). I found out he was a moghul for one of the biggest emerging pharma companies in the region. Guy had a 7 series BWM with televisons built in, and a differenr Rolex for every day and a duplex penthouse apartment in the super wealth part of town.

So why all the background info? This guy visited America, when he saw me at lesst, twice after this in the following five years. They talked about moving to the US repeatedly (the reason my language tutoring was relevant at the time). But it never happened. Even by the time I was there, post-9/11 backlash had fucked many Chinese over. Visa restrictions made things a nuissance, and the wealthy grew sick of it. Some of the kids from other families even moved to Australia, the new it place, because at least "they were not American with their visa and residency regimes." The wife had been blacklisted for no reason at all; attorney friends had contacts at the US Embassy, and was told she was put on a list after the interview phase with a black mark like "do not approve residency visa bc this woman is shady." Why the meek wife (who was a stay at home mom her whole life) and no one else in the family is a mystery to me.

This dude could have opened up businesses to the tune of 500K bank deposits, according to my attorney dad, and naturalize very quickly, and the other lawyers who wanted to help and get an in to the business he would put out for them. He did not, and others did not either. The US had already become toxic. They invested in our economy, but they would even ask me to explain why we so were worth it economically to them, but the USG would routinely fuck around with rhetoric and policy clash with China. "We are your economic friends, why treat us like enemies?" (Obviously both sides are complete disallusionment with the other if they really believe this.)

So, none of those people moved. They invested all damn day in US and Western business, but only enough to get paid and avoided "the dream" of moving to the West as elites, being prestigious (as those to even have the opportunity).

Ironically, as a nation, we earned our devalution abroad. People will buy from us, but no one wants to be US (that is a joke, enjoy).

This year I'm thinking about leaving Russia rather heavily.

I was comfortable between peers, but now the political landscape is increasingly toxic, it gets worse all the time, and there are no solutions to any of our numerous problems. And everyone chooses to ignore reality and live in an invented world inside their TV set.

I think I'll do this in a year, starting with a large hiatus to travel the world, live in new places.

And then of course it will be Europe not the USA.

I'm generally in favor of more open immigration policies, but your example is pretty distant from the one in the WSJ story. Jews fleeing Nazi persecution in the '30s and '40s were buying million-dollar homes when they arrived here. Frequently they barely made it out with the clothes on their backs. They were looking for a refuge, not a place to park wealth.
In truth, if you really care about it, you can take a policy based design approach to this and have explicit rules for when you may or may not do type erasure. It's definitely a bit of work, but you can actually get full compile_time type safety and yet avoid having duplicative code with various tricks like (this skips over a lot of the pain and isn't really how you'd do it... just illustrative):

template <std::size_t N>
struct raw {
template <typename U>
constexpr raw(U x, std::enable_if<.....>);

template <typename U>
constexpr operator U();
};

template <template ContainerType, typename T, std::enable_if<std::is_trivially_convertible<T, ....> > >
struct somewhat_erased_container : private ContainerType<raw<sizeof(T)>> {
};

It's particularly easy to do with containers of pointers (of course).

When we were recently shopping for a house in palo alto and los altos, we heard about and competed against Chinese nationals.

Kids in the first world having access to mobile broadband at speeds and prices that make Photoshop-as-a-service feasible on their chromebooks is explicitly not awesome unless you're one of those privileged kids.

This is a "rich get richer" situation that is developing.

The problem with the centralized model is that it rather fucks over even people in developing or under-developed countries, and also places like, say, South Africa where broadband speeds are internally decent but are notoriously slow to the rest of the planet.

In the US, a lot of the road renamings/rationalization and the addition of house numbers to those that didn't have one was driven by E911 services--in part, getting away from local knowledge requirements to find a house.

Evernote launches ScanSnap
Oh yes, the fine print. Because we wouldn't want to know in advance that we'd be charged $20.00 for an $11.00 toll. So it's safe to assume that Uber charged the other passenger $20 going into Jersey, and then another $20 coming back. This makes me wonder if Uber pocketed the $20 collected as the driver went into Jersey or if it set aside some to cover the driver's cost if he had some come back as a deadhead.

IOS-XE and XR are linux boxes, as are the nexus. Arista is linux based, Juniper is FreeBSD and Force10 is NetBSD (at least the older one were). Many devices in the class of enterprise or service provider grade are not going to be obtaining their addresses via DHCP and have a heavily modified version of the OS, anyway. In addition, best practices should be used in armoring the devices in this class, meaning filtering of the control plane, etc.

Neophyte question - is FP necessary for a CNN as opposed to using 32 bits on some fixed encoding. If I used a 32 bit value on the order of +- 4.27 or +- 8.23, wouldn't that have enough accuracy. I'm assuming the weights and parameters don't go much above say 8 or 16 after all the Relu stuff.

Hi, I might work at a place like NYU, but in a neighboring country (which is an exercise left to the reader).

I have no doubt, by the way that NYU operates like us: the government of the host nation throws so much money at the school that the satellite campus hands back excess many as excise taxes/tribute to the main campus in the name of administrative overhead.

This is not unqiue. In said country, multiple top tier US schools have come. And the reason is obvious. The school makes money on this arrangment, and spend next to nothing for the privilege.

What company would say no in this arrangement outside the education sector?

"Modern C++" often refers specifically to techniques from Alexandrescu's book" http://erdani.com/index.php/books/modern-c-design/

Thanks to updates to the language, some of the hackery in there is no longer nearly so devilish, and there the language standard provides idioms that are simpler but "good enough if not better" for most people (tuples, smart pointers, move semantics, etc.), so a lot of the specific designs in the book _are_ starting to become passé. Still, it is a fantastic book for understanding the expressive power of C++'s multiparadigm design.

Anybody want to figure out how to do this programmatically?
More precisely, the problem comes from how certain Linux libraries and OS X have responded to OpenGL's new profile system.

An OpenGL context is roughly a 3D drawing area and its associated behind-the-scenes data. Via changes to OpenGL version 3.0 through 3.2, it became possible to ask for specific versions of OpenGL for each context. There are two kinds of contexts: "compatibility" contexts, which expose all OpenGL features up to the version obtained, and "core" contexts, which don't have deprecated features. For example, starting with 3.1, a core context won't draw quads - you have to split them into two triangles.

On Linux, Racket uses libgtkgl to get OpenGL contexts that are associated with GTK widgets. This library won't return anything but compatibility contexts, up to version 3.0.

On OS X, it's only possible to get an OpenGL 2.1 context or an OpenGL 3.2 or 3.3 core context.

There are a few ways to fix this.

1. The libgtkgl developers add support for core contexts and versions later than 3.0. I doubt this will happen. They're dragging their feet.

2. OS X adds support for compatibility contexts. Again, not hopeful.

3. We find some other way to get an OpenGL context on Linux that's associated with a GTK widget. There aren't many options.

4. I develop using OpenGL 2.1. I lose a lot of shading language features that way, though, and probably a lot of performance.

5. I develop multiple rendering paths. I hate this idea, but it may be what I have to do.
I do agree with that. I don't have them hand-write code for quite a while.

And I think we agree more than we disagree; teaching kids that they can code and how to think algorithmicly are far more important than getting them ready to pass a single exam.
