I wish they had a section where you can see all the articles in chronological order (newer to older). they made a latest news section but it doesn't look ordered.
If you actually believe you've got instructions from and knowledge of God (in the Western sense, at least) fanatical and extreme behavior (violent or otherwise) is practically inevitable.

Like so many other things the concepts of "belief" and "faith" are watered down in common usage, but some reflection on how one might reasonably behave given (i.e. taken axiomatically) knowledge of God's nature, God's will, and eternity reveals such a state to be an awe-inspiring, terrifying thing. I find true faith to stretch the bounds of understanding, so powerful and alien it is.

It is fortunate that the majority of believers in the Western tradition so thoroughly de-claw their religions, excising or conveniently ignoring the parts that may require of them great daring or enormous sacrifice, or don't consider what true faith in matters of an eternal nature implies, or we may expect to be inundated with pauper-hermits, wild-eyed street preachers, and suicide bombers.

It would be a very strange world where your typical believer placed as little value on the things of this life as their Books suggest they should, and where matters of conversion of non-believers, proper thought and action, and obedience to God truly resonate across eternity in their minds. It's the kind of thing that can make mass-murder of the already damned entirely reasonable if it saves or protects the eternal souls of even a handful of others.

[EDIT] See also Kierkegaard's Knight of the Faith,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight_of_faith

And to be clear, I don't intend to demean meeker forms of religious expression, but I think it's selling the power of religion entirely short to say that extreme, even violent behavior is somehow other and doesn't count as legitimately religious, which some seem to insist on doing (e.g. "they're not real Muslims", "they've twisted the faith", et c"). To take it a step farther I would say your average ISIS member is likely much more authentically religious—or at the very least so much more dedicated that they're almost in a different category entirely—than your average Sundays-and-Christmas Christian, for example, to the extent that comparing authenticity-peens is even valid—though if it's not then how can anyone say ISIS' expression of Islam is illegitimate?

I'd love any feedback, and I hope it's useful to someone else:

We Give Up Our Data Too Cheaply
The thing I like about this series is how accessible it is. Jeff's stated goal is to make the concepts clear for actual humans rather than academics (hence the name of the series).

I've been working my way through the first volume and knowing a bit of algebra has helped immensely. I recommend checking out volume 1 and see where it takes you!
Saying "To Alewife" or "To Ashmont" is as much information as anyone really needs (if you're looking at the redline for instance)
I disagree. GoPro is not Premium. For me GoPro is cheap for what it does.

I had bought Sony and Canon DSLR in the past. THIS IS PREMIUM. Several thousand dollars each.

My Gopro does things NO OTHER CAMERA in the thousands category could do. In fact , the people at Canon, Nikon, and Sony disable features on the hundred dollar category so it does not compete with the thousands.

E.g You want instantaneous electric controlled shutter on your NEX X Sony camera? Sorry, you need to pay thousands of dollars. You want uncompressed HDMI video output? Same answer. They have an HDMI port!!, they simply disable it!! They provide you with crappy analog output.

With my GoPro, I can do it all way cheaper, smaller, lighter, great video, and rock solid. Connecting it to a HDMI grabber provides amazing quality. You could stabilize it with cheap motors as it is so lightweight. Control via the Web?,mobile phone?with my own apps? no problem with the GoPro.

I love this camera so much, and hate the others. If Gopro decided to make a DLSR, I would buy it. The other companies could burn in Hell, they had abused so much.

This is picking a bad time horizon and acting like that's the only way to invest.

The PowerVR chips on Intel platforms came in binary blobs, and were only supported in a few fairly specific configurations. As such, they were obsolete almost as soon as they were released, with little to no support. Thankfully, though, they only put PowerVR chips in their Atom boards for a fairly short period of time, so you won't have to worry about them in these machines.

Logicians like Turing, Church, and Gödel gave us computers.

So I don't think there is any sharp distinction between programming and what logicians do. And I think it's clear that Turing (for example) was very excited about the possibilities of furthering his studies with actual physical computers he could program, given his work on Engima.

So it may be programming is one of the best tools we have for teaching logic, and one could make a good argument many of the great logicians in history would agree.

(Note my emphasis on "logician", as there are many other kinds of philosophy for which computers aren't as obviously helpful, as they are for learning logic and logical thinking.)

Just an example: C65 implements its own stack in regular memory space because the actual stack of the 6502 is limited to 256 bytes!

256? That's twice as much as all of a standard 8051's RAM, which is only 128 bytes! The 8051 is probably the other 8-bit Harvard MCU that's still in widespread use, and compilers have managed to make C run on it; external stack emulation is one of the things they do too. It also happens to be one of the very few architectures with an upward-growing stack (a push increments the stack pointer.)
Loved the video, after pledging I'm excited to read all three volumes since I've just been skirting NN, GA, and ML for a while now. DRM free and examples in multiple languages are a big selling point. Hope to see the whole series get published.

No, there is only the destination of the train, since an Alewife bound train is "inbound" or "outbound" depending on which station you're at.

If you want to talk about the Red Line delays going toward Alewife, then inbound or outbound is uselessly ambiguous.
If something like that bothers you that much, you can do what I do and route your web traffic through a cheap VPS.

I don't really do it because I'm super paranoid or because I'm attempting to hide illicit activity. I just don't believe it is any of my ISP's business what web sites I visit should they decide to derive additional "value" (for them) by data mining.

If and when they want to offer to pay me in the form of a substantial service price discount for access to my web history I might reconsider but there is no way I'm giving them that information for free.
> AWS admins are cheaper and you need fewer of them.

I have yet to find an AWS Infrastructure Admin job for under $120K/year (SF, LA, CHI, Boston, NY were the locales I looked in). I have seen quite a few traditional sysadmin jobs under $100K/year.

> You definitely have to hire a lot less staff with AWS,

This has traditionally been true of Linux admins in general. I'm not seeing that much of a difference in the marketplace between Linux admin and AWS admin compensation packages at the moment, except AWS admin positions are usually offered by startups and included equity you wouldn't get at a typical enterprise position.

Wharf – Open Source ContainerOps Platform Release 0.0.3 Version
RideCell(YC W12) - Senior Backend Engineer - San Francisco, CA

You wouldn't believe how inefficient most transportation systems are!

At RideCell, we build transportation automation software that helps large corporations, public transit agencies and Universities optimize, manage, and scale their transportation systems.

Our software has already moved almost 10 million people but that's just the beginning. We're working on much higher impact things that will fundamentally change the way logistics is done. Doing this requires solving some pretty interesting engineering problems ranging from optimally routing and dispatching vehicles to predicting customer demand based on historical and real-time variables to maximize throughput.

About You

- You have at least 3 years software development experience, including at least 2 years working with Python/Django.

- You have experience mentoring new developers.

- You have code samples you can share with us - preferably real projects hosted on GitHub or something similar.

- You've worked at a startup before and love moving quickly.

- Bonus points: you have experience with one or more of
these: Angular.js, Django REST framework, Postgres, AWS, Vagrant, Ansible.

- Bonus points: you've worked on location aware projects before.

- Currently living in US and willing to relocate to San Francisco.

What We Offer

- A significant role on a small team working on a huge and valuable problem

- Competitive salary and meaningful equity

- An incredible team of genuinely good people

Next Steps

We don't believe in interviews full of syntax questions. We'd like to pay you to work with us for a week or two on a real project, we think that's the best way to see if we'd be a good match for each other. To get started, email jobs@ridecell.com your resume, link to your GitHub / code samples, and links to any deployed software you've worked on.
I wonder what Steve Job's net worth would have been if he never sold his shares.
It's true that I wouldn't have complained if the link originally pointed to nature.com (rather than originally pointing to phys.org and then being edited to point to nature.com) but it's also true that I wouldn't have had the time or ability to work through so much as the abstract, which I find utterly, utterly impenetrable, even with a non-trivial interest in physics, and make any comment at all.

In its defense, the phys.org article embedded a video with a much more accessible explanation of what happened.

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mlaVHxUSiNk

The video is imperfect, there are a number of unnecessary over simplifications and patronizing sounds and silly faces, but I still found it more informative than the article.
Yes, these guys are creeps.

But calling someone a creep doesn't make them any less of a creep, nor does it prevent them from being a creep in the future. If anything, it is likely to make them defensive and make it harder for someone else to fix the problem.

Nobody hands you a rulebook when you start dating about how to do it. Particularly as a guy, if you do something inappropriate, you'll likely never find out about it--you'll just get rejected and never know why. It's only by luck that I've happened upon a set of behaviors that makes women feel safe around me. From this side of the fence I frequently hear women talking about how creepy someone is, but never telling that person. A lot of guys are creeps, not because they intend to cause any harm, but because nobody ever gave them any feedback about how they can do better.

Now, I realize it's not women's responsibility to educate men on how to pursue dating appropriately. But at least don't make the problem worse. If you don't want to tell the person their behavior is inappropriate, that's fine. But if you have a problem with someone you should address it with that person, not go around talking about them behind their backs. Going around calling people creeps isn't appropriate behavior either.

For my part, I try to explain to guys what they're doing wrong when I see it. But that's pretty difficult to do because calling people creeps has created a culture where it's nearly impossible to have a candid conversation about how men can learn to date appropriately.
> If you held a Nasdaq ETF from 2000 until now, you would have had to wait to 15 years to make back most of your gains.

Not if you buy at regular intervals. If you had, say, $10K in a Nasdaq ETF in 2000, and invested the same amount at regular intervals between then and now, you'd have a 95% profit by now.
I'm not sure I agree with this — it just becomes much more complex and harder to debug!

>The problem with Islam is that it's extremely malleable. You can pick and choose your sources, scholars and books and have an Islam of your own. Each one has their side, and accuses the other of taking things out of context, or having an incorrect understanding. Some Muslims make heavy use of the No true Scotsman fallacy.

What religions don't have this issue? Using the most popular religion in the US, Christianity has hundreds, if not thousands, of branches that all say they have the "right" version of things, and everyone else is at least slightly wrong.

I'd say it's an argument against any/all religion, really. They can all be devolved into a message of hate and violence.
I actually commute on the T every day. As _august pointed out, inbound/outbound switches at Park St, so it's not the best way to identify alerts going a single direction throughout the line.

>> Facts the web unanimously agrees on are considered a reasonable proxy for truth. Web pages that contain contradictory information are bumped down the rankings.

But if there are contradictory sites then the web is not in unanimous agreement, is it? Something about this statement bothers me. Is there no chance that the web could be in "unanimous agreement" about something which is wrong? Seems to me that human populations make this mistake quite often, and since it is humans (for the most part) who write the web the same fallibility should show up there.
They're cheap enough that my first thought was to pick up a couple and figure out what I'd do with them later, but the disadvantage here is that they're older boxes, which means they're going to be energy hogs (for the performance point, at least).

That's what makes the eco pitch interesting - they're reducing e-waste, which is good, but energy efficiency on newer boxes (especially if you just need minimal performance) is worlds better than what these are offering. On the one hand, the recycling is great, but on the other hand, it's like putting a 1953 Chevy back on the road - sure, we didn't have to manufacture another one, but it still might not be the best thing for the environment.
The first character is called Beret Guy, he is a recurring character. He exists as a commentary on subjectivism. His shtick is that he is absurdly out of touch with reality. He not only speaks in buzz phrases, he gets those buzz phrases wrong. Much to the other characters' chagrin, he is still quite successful, as reality seems to distort around him, making his errors in understanding manifest in reality. So is he the one who is out of touch with reality, or are we, and we just happen to live in a bubble in which we have only come in contact with people who are equally out of touch? And in the end, if you're happy (and Beret Guy is always portrayed as happy), then what does it matter which is the "true" reality?

The article does not claim that the glasses prevent face detection. It claims that they prevent face recognition. These two concepts are different.

Face detection - determine the location of a face or faces in an image.

Face recognition - given a location of a face in an image, correctly predict who's face it is.
