> The synaptic protein neuroligin-3 (NLGN3) was identified as the leading candidate mitogen, and soluble NLGN3 was sufficient and necessary to promote robust HGG cell proliferation. NLGN3 induced PI3K-mTOR pathway activity and feedforward expression of NLGN3 in glioma cells.

So unless high stress/anxiety lead to increased production of NLGN3...
The Secret Passions You Need to Become a Virtual Reality Entrepreneur
Why assume that selecting candidates for interview based on the results of a blind audition/technical challenge approach like the GapJumpers model wouldn't also yield fantastic candidates who fit into the culture? The real benefit is increasing the diversity of who you interview in the first place, since getting the interview is usually the hardest part. Since there is so much bias associated with reviewing résumés then the entire process is tainted. At least if you eliminate in the first step you have a chance of eliminating it at the next steps as well.

What a weak answer. Sounds like you didn't read my post at all.

There is no "zero lower bound problem". This "problem" exists only in the minds of central bankers and politicians. That is what I said already.
I actually use a mix of both and find that 4sq works better in some cities and Yelp in others. Both are pretty bad as far as reviews/tips go. I pretty much discount everything I read there. 4sq is nice because I can see which of my friends have been to a location, which is a lot more meaningful to me than some random person's opinion of a place. Ironically THAT feature has been downplayed in 4sq. After reading Crowley's interview, I guess it's because it's not part of the search vision.

I would consider myself an outlier in terms of how much I go out and travel though. Most "regular people" I talk to maybe go out once a week to their favorite spot. I just don't think discovery is that large of a market.
Their problem is that so much of the defensive options in game are active ones that avoid or nullify all incoming damage. Mobs don't do that, so instead they are given a massive health pool.

This in effect turn every fight into a fight between mob health pool and how many active defenses you brought along.

On top of that, anyone can "heal" someone that has gotten defeated and so bring them back into the fight.

Three or four tiered plan, based on number of records uploaded and desire for additional bells and whistles (personalized subdomain, whitelabel for better known libraries and archives, ability to keep some part of records private except to users who are affiliated with your group through offline membership, etc.).

No freemium, only paying clients. BUT a price discount if users allow (1) auto backup of datasets in CSV format to Internet Archive through their S3 system, even if the data is "darked" and not visible (I'm on Archive Team and I also created their "Antecedents" collection of genealogy-related web crawls: https://archive.org/details/archiveteam_antecedents) and (2) they explicitly put their data in the public domain.

Pie in the sky idea: create API for higher tier paying users to allow them to license their data directly to Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast, etc. Which would flip the pay-for-data model on its ear, allowing users to regain control of their own datasets, and for-profit data brokers to pay them for access.

It's all about what's in it for the company or the executive that has to pony up the funds. Want to donate to the w3, but the company isn't sold on it? Are you competitors a part of w3? If so, why? If not, what could your company get out of it that could be helpful?

Business decision are based on a few drivers:
1) passion
2) ego
3) talking points
4) ROI
5) strategic objectives

If you can't plant the seeds as to how the donation aligns with one or more of the aforementioned points, it probably won't happen.

For example, if your company wants to hire more technical talent: 5

If your boss likes to speak at events or be involved in cross functional, cross industry teams, for whatever reason: 1 or 2

If a leader needs to demonstrate "out side of the box thinking " or "good corporate / community partnerships": 3

If your leader can make the company more money, or otherwise put the company in a better position by influencing the next generation of XYZ's standards: 4 or 5

That's how you put your best effort forward, but that still may not get the funds flowing. Best of luck!

The 'big activity vector' language is partly a reference to the Vector Word Embedding stuff (see [1] for an explanation). The surprising thing about that is that it is possible to learn an embedded of individual words in a multi-dimensional vector space, such that (for example) vector(Queen)-vector(Woman) ~= vector(King)-vector(Man). Which is to say that there's a general 'royalty' direction within the vector space - and all this can be learned purely from seeing large amounts of English text (no 'traditional' supervised training). Perhaps a 'god' could identify the meaning of each direction in the space (or region of words), but the big Machine Learning labs (Google, Baidu, Montreal, Stanford, Facebook, etc) are proving that purely manipulating the vectors in the abstract works really well.

In addition to the 'word vectors' as inputs, the RNNs illustrated are also iterating over an internal state (flowing from left to right though the same network for each new word) - and this internal state is also an embedding of some kind. But it's going to be very difficult to decipher what each dimension here represents, as it's being built purely as a function of the input word vectors, its own previous state and a NN with initially random weights.

Now, although actual 'brain experiments' have shown that individual neuron (or local clusters) apparently light up when particular thoughts are had (alternatively, cause thoughts to be had), each cluster seems likely to be just one aspect of (say) 'dogginess'. So, one area will correspond to the smell of dogs, others to wet noses, others to being outdoors (i.e. all aspects of the overall 'dogginess' concept) - but these things will all overlap in multiple ways with other concept 'vectors'. Which is how huge spaces of ideas are searched in parallel, rather than sequentially (using, say, an is_doggy_quality symbol).

There are also parallels here with the Numenta Sparse Distributed Representations [2].

Overall, this presentation seems to be probing at the frontier of what works, and how to leverage that up into something that's more about 'general thinking' rather than pattern matching. It also appears to be a thought-piece, rather than a conference presentation (though, of course, Hinton deserves to be heard on just about anything in NNs, IMHO).

I'm going to call B.S. on this approach. When you look at the language it looks suspiciously like most other programming languages in terms of syntax.

What it's telling us is that the evidence is that most people kind of like their own programming language and want to modify nits.

The designers are not going to find anything different meaningfully different. They certainly are not going to find anything that aligns with real ergonomic research into language design, like that done by PPIG ( http://www.ppig.org/ ) and other groups.

This is the opposite of my experience playing multiplayer Minecraft. There are no goals here, other than ones you set yourself. You simply log in, hang out with people, and mess around. Here are some things I've done that were the highlights of my time on this one particular server (semi-vanilla PvE):

I helped a fellow player build an iron farm when he didn't know how.

Helped another player try to debug his auto-brewer setup.

Built a vending machine so new players can get cheap food. Got a full set of diamond armor as payment one time.

Exchanged Christmas gifts.

Helped a new player find a place to live. Upon arrival, we stood at the top of a cliff and admired the view. Then, he noticed a lone chicken and immediately named him "Colin". When the night came the chicken got out, and we both went leaping down the mountain after him. We lost half of our gear, but Colin was safe and sound in the end.

Had a pool party. A player was living in the extreme hills biome. Upon visiting him, I remarked that it'd be fun to jump off the cliff and try to make it into a tiny pool of water. So that's exactly what we did. Invited other people, and spent about two hours climbing up the mountain, then jumping off.

Don't get me wrong, it's not like this all the time, but if you find a good server with good players, it can be a really fun experience.
And a hamburger isn't a "sandwich", it's a "burger".

But these distinctions aren't universal. It's easy to see why some people call pizzas pies if you look at variants like "deep pizza" (or "Chicago style pizza").

Essentially you might as well argue whether it's "soda" or "pop".
If the workers are the same, but their class is upgraded, it's even better.
I'm looking forward to seeing the major security-critical libraries being rewritten in Rust, even if they are then often called from C. Especially OpenSSL/LibreSSL, which is a mess inside, has way too much legacy code, and too many ways to turn encryption off, log keys, or weaken checks.
it's less that i'd do things not currently done in the FTL, and more that it would be deterministic. my algorithm is a cyclic cache that's write heavy, at least initially targeted at low end hardware. if i could bypass the FTL, i could ensure that my algorithm wasn't amplifying. but with FTL, which varies from drive to drive, my usage pattern could result in a great deal of amplification

i'm sure that for any given controller's FTL (and this article claims that there really are only a couple on the market), i could tweak my algorithm to work reasonably well. but that's a sign of a leaky abstraction

i'd also like access to the small SLC portion of the drive, though i'm working around that for now with journaling

i'm not an expert in flash memory. my model is basically a block device with larger block erasure, and that the number of erasures each block can handle is limited

I play Minecraft on a small server (semi-vanilla PvE). Some stuff I found can be downright creepy. Here's an example: http://imgur.com/52wZxvp. This was a huge structure in the middle of the ocean that I stumbled upon. The giant sign on it said "HAIL TITO" or some such. The inside was really strange too: dark, with random traps and creatures roaming about (all intentional, such as golems). Abandoned Minecraft buildings in general are really interesting, but this takes the cake.

After some asking around I did find that the person didn't in fact go crazy, and this was supposed to be a temple of sorts, with traps and treasure. But at the time (3am) it really creeped me out.

Thank you! In a perfect world there could be a free plan for small time data publishers, individual researchers without a lot of funds, etc. But you have to be very wary of recreating the RootsWeb scenario from 12 years ago, where a giant collection of genealogy records created through volunteer-run goodwill gets in over its head financially and needs a white knight to come bail them out. In that case, the white knight was Ancestry, who (amazingly) haven't shut them down all these years. But I am aware that any new project to put archival data online MUST be fiscally responsible and prudent because it is such a big responsibility. This is customer data unlike most others.

To that end, I will also be rejecting VC and bootstrapping the venture. Ain't nobody going to be flipping this site or acqui-hiring that data. This is going to be done for the long-term.

CRIU has worked fine for a long time. I've used CRIU under LXC in a lab, and CRIU alone in production.

This problem arises because Docker positions their intrinsics as novel containers, even though there was an entire field of prior art long before Docker showed up. Hence your confusion and worry checkpointing will never be supported; it already was, but you didn't know about it, because to you Docker == containers. One of my many problems with Docker, because they feed that.

Look how easy it is: http://criu.org/LXC
It would make it more attractive to work, but thats it. Since you cannot legally pay less than minimum wage the kind of people who work for minimum today would be the kind who work for it tomorrow too.

The trick is to make the level scaling optional.

If I'm level 100, I should be able to go into a level 5 area and kill everything with one hit, but I wouldn't get any XP because it wasn't challenging.

However, if my low level friend is playing and they want a buddy to help them with low level content, it would be nice to have the option of scaling my character down to my friend's level where I would be challenged by level 5 content alongside them (and even gain some degree of proportional XP or maybe scaled loot from it)
Considerations When Designing for the Apple Watch
Who do you think told them about the shutdowns? :-)
"Women are hired in low-paying jobs like 'teacher'; men get the high-paying jobs."

That's not how it works. People have skills, skills they possibly paid lots of money at a University to develop. They leverage these skills into a job.

Women aren't hired into low-paying jobs, they apply to these low-paying jobs. Men also apply to these low-paying jobs. And both sexes apply for the high paying jobs.

So it seems less likely that some sexist cabal of HR employees is in control of the entire job market, and more likely that the ratio of women and men in each industry is not 50:50.

I support efforts to bring the gender ratio closer to 50:50 in lopsided industries, I also support efforts to raise the wages of all(?) depressed industries. But I will not call the convergence of the lopsided ratios and depressed wages in an industry sexism.

I don't deny sexism. I think there are many important individuals that are sexist in addition to racist, classist, etc-ist.

Who is the sexist if I win every time in a game of dice against a woman?
Apologies, as usual with the CAP theorem, I made an error here. The Gilbert/Lynch paper specifically says that availability only counts for servers that actually receive requests, so if all the network links in the world are cut, you will still be available by this definition. So you can ignore the last two sentences of my first paragraph. That paragraph should say:

First, in the "The same application with an Eventually Consistent store", you don't actually define the semantics of the system, so there is no way to say how it relates to CAP. Eventually consistent stores, like the original Dynamo, are designed to be AP systems, which is why they have things like read-repair. If all your nodes have failed, or all network links have been cut, you are available because there are no requests to which to respond. Otherwise, you can always get a response, and are therefore available, but that response may not be the "latest" response, so it may not be consistent (see Herlihy on Linearizability for the full definition here).

Apologies for adding confusion here.
> is your standard for a bad name really "hard to google"?

It's not the only one, but it's certainly important. Especially for more obscure projects, or things that users will have lots of question about, if you can't google it, it's not going to succeed.

> Apple? C?

Really? Those are you examples? Both of those were named before google even existed. They are very large, and hardly obscure. They don't need any help to be found.

> or is the argument that they are bad names because they are not "relevant"?

No, that's not the argument.

Maybe you expect it, but it's a terrible name.
Sure, but then we aren't in a situation where growth of wages isn't keeping pace with GDP, we are in a situation where healthcare cost increases are outpacing GDP. They are two different problems.

I'm back playing again. I have a few lvl 100's, but I decided to start a new character -- this one would have no weapons and no armor -- just a tabard. I wanted to see how far I could get with just my fists. I'm up to 21 so far. I can take out regular mobs that are 3-4 levels below me with few problems.

But I do die -- about as often as I did in BC, so about 3 times as often as everyone else does these days. The best part is my repair costs are zero gold.
