BB(n) isn't computable, even given unlimited computational resources. Running all n-state machines won't work, because you may have some machines that continue indefinitely, but without repeating. (Remember that while…
The point of the tax is not that the revenue will be used to reduce waste. The point is that it will increase the cost of producing waste for the polluter, ideally exactly to the point where it matches the cost to…
Not married, but in a long-term relationship living with my partner. I listen to them while commuting to work or while doing household chores, and consistently get through 4+ hours/week of podcasts. I don't find my…
At my university CA: AQA was used as the text for the second course in computer architecture. The first course in computer architecture used this book: https://www.amazon.com/Computer-Organization-Design-Fourth-A.... If…
It seems like there's an obvious solution to the problem of how to crack down on the types of bot your AI tries to detect, without removing legitimate boots: Give users the ability to designate their account as a…
I would assume that there was a special policy in place for people working on teams with a requirement for that amount of RAM. I interned on Chrome in 2013, and at the time all Chrome engineers got a computer with an…
I empathize with that feeling! I recently "automated" washing dishes by upgrading to an apartment with a dishwasher, and it's an amazing quality of life improvement!
I think the parent was saying that they would buy parcels of land where they planned to build stations, and then profit when that land appreciated due to the presence of the station.
My variation on that is to only ever lock my front door or car using my keys from the outside. It's a bit less convenient than using the lock on the inside, but is guaranteed to avoid lockouts.
The courses are identical to the courses one would take if they were getting their Master's at Stanford - the only difference is that only four classes are required, while a Master's requires about 15. I'm enrolled in…
A particularly hairy case is where you use variables as features which are themselves generated through other potentially-discriminatory processes. For example, including a "has committed a felony" feature seems like a…
Could that also be related to diet? I'm guessing your grandmother practically never ate sugar if she was living on 200 grams of bread a day. I've also heard that early modern humans had fairly good teeth for their age…
The SRE Book (http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920041528.do) has a number of chapters on load balancing that are well worth reading. One thing that the book covers that I think this article glossed over was the fact…
Where'd you get +20 miles from? The Leaf has a 108 mile range, the Bolt has a 238 mile range - that's a huge difference.
This was a pretty interesting article that hits very close to home (I'm an SRE at Google). I think the central thesis (that developers are better at running rapidly changing products because they are able to find and…
It is in fact 30-80%: see page 11 of the PDF: http://0b4af6cdc2f0c5998459-c0245c5c937c5dedcca3f1764ecc9b2f...
They're looking at the HTTP referer [sic]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_referer Most newspapers don't show paywalls to users coming from a search engine, as part of a compromise with Google to prevent them from…
For companies that size, the really important services probably have a distributed ops team, with a team in Europe/Asia alternating 12 hour oncall shifts with a team in North America. In an emergency, the non-North…
What an odd mix of totally innocuous comparisons (Hong Kong Dollar vs Renminbi), fairly justified criticisms of China's government, and nationalistic drivel. I did at least find it amusing that the sentence the artist…
According to the author, you need to know this in order to understand "how Google works," because the PageRank algorithm is described in terms of finding the principal eigenvector of a particular matrix.
