I suffer this fate every day. It is made worse by being locked down so hard I can't even use PowerShell. All I have is Notepad++ for development, searching, mass text manipulation...
I have gone through the same situation. If you let it go like I did, get worse. Believe it or not, you're going through depression.
Things I advise you to do and you will not do:

- Most importantly, go visit a professional, one who specializes in emotional intelligence.
- Make sports more than half an hour a day every day.
- Switch to a healthy diet, no snuff, no alcochol, and low in sugar.
- Lower the workload or leave it for a few months.
- Give yourself time, and changes of activities, places and people.

By doing these steps you will again be the same.

You don't need a map of the whole world/country in order to operate a regional taxi service. Nor do you need intelligence for parking (except in the taxi garage - which can be done by humans if necessary). You just need a smaller map of the region that the taxi will operate in, and the ability to "phone home" when it sees new objects in the map (which can be analyzed by humans / really big computers and added to the map in real time).

This is insane.

As a local I can't decide whether this action is just to deter public discourse on the recent claims of political corruption (that involved banning the Director of National Tax Authority from entering US) or if it is for real. Either cases are really, really bad.

Interesting analysis, but I suspect you're missing something critical - whether or not Google use the product internally. If other Google services start to adopt Firebase (or they're already using it) then surely the probability of it being killed off is greatly reduced. The analysis you've done works for standalone products, but I think it'll fall down for services.

That's fine, IF those things can be rooted and have released any proprietary drivers so you can load your preferred ARM-compatible Linux distro.

If, however, you want to run Plan 9, RISC OS, FreeBSD, Haiku, or anything else that isn't Linux, then you'd probably still come unstuck regardless of Alibaba's openness.
And yet the Magyar Tudományos Akadémia (Hungarian Scientific Academy) is doing exactly this kind of research in self-driving cars, in Budapest.

I think teaching is one of those things where you need to either follow a formula that works or become obsessed and blaze your own path. Figuring out how to teach using tools that aren't really understood yet is blazing your own path.

Making teaching non-reliant on a teacher's presence, improved by the possibilities of digital communication, interaction and teaching tools is trying to write a revolution of sorts. You can't dabble in revolution.

The book is actually quite far from theoretical computer science, it is much more closer to a introductory book on numerical analysis and statistics for applications, which I find is quite in line with a book called "Foundations of Data Science".
A bachelor's degree in applied mathematics usually covers around 70% of the book, with the rest being a bit of statistics (mostly around statistical learning and stochastic processes) and some sprinkles of discrete mathematics.
Fertilising is often a misleading term, as people assume nitrogen-based (inorganic) fertilisers, which tend to be one-shot wonders, and not terribly helpful at improving soil quality or ability to lock up carbon.

This story is hardly new, though, and there's an abundance of research that's already been done on simple, inexpensive, long-term, highly scalable ways of increasing carbon-carrying capacity of soils. Increasing organic matter is the obvious play, and you can do that by sensible stock management, sensible plant selection, application of compost (in this case as a kind of starter), and for some spectacular results application of biochar.

A friend of mine working for Delphi Automotive (electronics supplier for car makers) recently told me that the google's autonomous vehicle needs exact 3D maps, and at that time I found it hard to believe. Watching Eric Schmidt's youtubes you get the impression like the technology is already there for the car to drive everywhere in the US. Coast to coast distance is 3000 miles as oppossed to 700.000 the car has already driven.
The German automakers have been working on a sliding scale of automation, with driver-assist systems sort of transitioning into full automation sometime in the near future. (There's a nice table on page 166 of the 2014 annual report of the VDA, the German automobile manufacturer's association: http://www.vda.de/en/downloads/1225/?PHPSESSID=fvu1lhmadgb23...) (Note the incredibly good translation job - not just anybody could have managed that.)
Yep. To take a step back, the whole point of tarmac roads is that they are designed to be easy to drive on compared to cross country, footpaths, goat-tracks, wagon-trails etc. It's not hard to see a tipping point where roads are designed for robot cars not human-driven ones.

Also economies of scale take over. If 100 robot cars an hour drive down a road, the details of it can and should be mapped in real time and shared among the robots.
Landing Pages Are Powerful – Here’s Why You Should Start Using Them
It's ironic that you present Latex as a way to not waste hours and hours (or should I say days?) on getting formatting right. Of course if you have a simple and/or standard layout and want to keep all settings as they are provided by the environment, then fine. (I should probably add 'and are on a unixy system'). Otherwise - ...
Instead, it will simply be the autonomous BMW, Volkswagen, or Daimler. Or Tesla. It's not as though Google is the only company in the world working on autonomous driving. They're just the only one the American tech media has noticed.

You have to be careful here. If you transform your data, and then do a linear regression on the transformed data, and then un-transform your regression line, that's not the same as doing non-linear regression. Linear regression makes the assumption that the data is a line + normally distributed errors with 0 mean and constant variance.

For example lets take regression for an exponential relationship. If you transform your data with log, and then do linear regression you are assuming that your transformed data fits a line with normally distributed errors with 0 mean and constant variance. This means that you are assuming that your original data fits an exponential + normally distributed errors with 0 mean and exponentially increasing variance. This might be a good assumption, but it might not be. It depends on what your data is. If you look at his data [1] you see that the variance is increasing, so that indicates that his method is OK for that data.

What is going to happen with his method is that points far away from 0 are going to weigh far less into your regression than points near 0. It's not the same as doing a non-linear regression, which would assume that your data fits an exponential + normally distributed errors and constant variance. That would give all points equal weight.

I think from a perspective of learning functional approaches it's useful to have things like this, as a more complex worked example of applying functional concepts to a problem.

That might be a good situation to remember that almost all television and radio stations in Hungary are under governmental control and so it might make sense for the government to keep people away from too much Internet usage.
Hi JayBazuzi, Do it support remoting?

1. My case is to copy and run .exe file on remote Windows machine . I am on Linux machine and run under mono (using Xamarin studio)

2. Also I can't find it in Nuget? http://screencast.com/t/okHowbROL5wx
Some background.

- the proposed rate is 150 HUF/GB, that's around 0.5 EUR/GB or 60 cents/GB.

- the internet speeds in Hungary are relatively high, it's quite common to get 100 Mbps for $20/mo

- the minimum wage is around 250 USD/mo, the average net wage is $650/mo

- the levy should be paid by the providers, but probably they're going to be able to deduct it from their other taxes, that means profitable companies won't pay, currently non-profitable companies will

- the tax will be capped per subscription, the cap is rumored to be around $4 for individuals and around $25 for companies -- but most households have 2-3-4 phones, cable internet, etc.

- it's very likely that this is going to wipe out the currently loss-making telcos that can then be bought by the state (nationalized) and their assets funneled to cronies (even there was a public bid for the assets nobody would start a new company as it'd be making losses in the beginning therefore they could not deduct this tax from their taxes -- so it'd result in even more losses)

Also, it's very much likely that this is a deliberate distraction from the political conflict between the USA and Hungary that has emerged last week. (Edit: it's still bad though, as a journalist put it, it's like spraying pepper in the eyes of a pitbull: it's distracting, but you might end up in a really big trouble.)
there is an upper limit(cap) in the tax, per month, max 700 HUF (2.2 EUR) for population and max 5000 HUF (16.3 EUR) for companies. This text is hidden in the proposal. Just media is not reading it with attention.
The “lowball” comment about salary was made by blueskin_, not phkahler.
internet speeds in Hungary are not so high. Look at east Romania what offers, you get 1GBps for 7 euro/mo.
I don't understand how you can say that and turn around to use another american company you still can view the source code for. I assume that's the reason anyway.

> devote some processing power to mapping it

If the car was able to do that simply by slowing down you wouldn't need the map in the first place.

The whole point is that a human needs to map it. The car has no idea what to do.

For example it doesn't "see" a stop sign and act on it. It knows in advance there is a stop sign there because a human told it so.

It's not scanning the environment looking for traffic signs, all it's doing is looking for obstacles in the way and avoiding them.

It doesn't even see the road edge, or the lane markings - it knows that in advance.

Romania is really an outlier -- but compared to the USA or the UK, Hungary still fares very well (a cheap 100 Mbps internet basically 'should be enough for anyone' -- not completely true, but that can serve multiple 4K video streams at the same time, so for most households it's perfect).

i found the decision :
http://www.cafc.uscourts.gov/images/stories/opinions-orders/...

linked from an eff.org article :
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/05/dangerous-ruling-oracl...

i read the slides, then the decision, and then i got confused.. so i read alsup's ruling:
https://www.scribd.com/doc/95480891/Oracle-v-Google-API-Orde...

and now i'm really confused

alsup's ruling ::

> This order does not hold that Java API packages are free for all to use without license.It does not hold that the structure, sequence and organization of all computer programs may be stolen. Rather, it holds on the specific facts of this case, the particular elements replicated by Google were free for all to use under the Copyright Act. Therefore, Oracle’s claim based on Google’s copying of the 37 API packages, including their structure, sequence and organization is DISMISSED

which seems to contradict this from the eff.org article:

>In May 2012, Judge William Alsup of the Northern District of California ruled that APIs are not subject to copyright

it seems instead that alsup is saying that current understandings of code copyright stand but goog's use fell under fair use

federal circuit's decision ::

>Ultimately, we conclude that this is not a case in
which the record contains sufficient factual findings upon
which we could base a de novo assessment of Google’s
affirmative defense of fair use.

which reinforces that this is moreso an issue of fair use :

> Section 107 contains a list of the various purposes for which the reproduction of a particular work may be considered fair, such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Section 107 also sets out four factors to be considered in determining whether or not a particular use is fair.

The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes
The nature of the copyrighted work
The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole
The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work
>> http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html

fair use is only applicable on copyrighted material,
if something were uncopyrightable then examining it's derivatives for fair use would be unnecessary,
but here alsup is using fair use to excuse goog's use of the java api, implying the api is subject to copyright

so regardless of what an api is or whomever thinks whatever thae think an api is is moot to this legal hearing

to argue this decision in favor of your opinion you'd have to focus on the referenced snippets and analyse them for fair use, because that is what alsup ruled it

if the code oversteps fair use then you have to agree with the decision

at this point, in all honesty, this whole thing seems so beyond me..

just makes me wonder why goog wrote android in java

why would anyone write anything in java?

is that oracle's goal?
Nope, it isn't. The proposal (http://itcafe.hu/dl/cnt/2014-10/112746/01705.pdf) only contains the number '700' twice, one is unrelated, at the other occurrence the text says that the tax on phone calls and text messages cannot exceed HUF 700/mo/subscription.

After the outrage now there're rumors about these caps, but they were not part of the proposal.

NYC is a nice market for freelancing. Compounding some extra income on top of your current salary (in a field you already specialize in) seems like the path of least resistance.

If you've got the background, programming black boxes for hedge funds is not a bad gig. Also, Bloomberg is recruiting devs in your area hard right now, the last I heard they were offering about $220 base for guys to build their new HFT-related products.

Around late 2005-2006 it wasn't so bad, it was more 20-something guys in tech. A significant enough portion of the articles on the front page were related to programming or tech-real topics (esp. startups), or long-read articles, and while there was bickering, there were also interesting discussions in comments that didn't get dragged down by trolls and teenage-boyness. By 2007 the kids ranting about politics and atheism, the image links that were just a picture of a slogan, the trolling, the lame joke accounts, and the rest were picking up steam, and Startup News was created as a less awful alternative by pg (and also as an Arc demo), which was eventually renamed Hacker News. There was an early reddit exodus to HN to get away from reddit's worst excesses in 2007-8, especially when the horrible Digg exodus to reddit was happening.

What is a salvage vehicle title?
A salvage vehicle title is a title that is issued for a vehicle which has been damaged by any kind of accident so badly that repairs are simply impossible. A salvage title may be issued when repairs are considered to be more expensive than the total price of the vehicle. Sometimes, insurance companies issue such titles on stolen vehicles.
