How many people bullish for andor excited by cryptocurrencies know that?
any answer to that would leave you wondering: what are the implications?
If the majority answer: of course I know it could all be found to be worthless tomorrow
Or even if the majority answers: wait, it could potentially be mathematically proven to be useless?
Both leave me wondering what the motivations are for those who are promoting it
But my experience working restaurants shows under paying employees incited a certain apathy in the workers causing lazy implementation of food handling standards
I'd argue more pay makes the workers appreciate their work more which would tangentially result in better hygiene
But for an owner to intentionally 'skimp' on hygiene practices due to 'reallocated profits' is ridiculous
Also the tone is ambiguous, is the intent is the paper that I am supposed to see these dubious correlations of stats and think, 'they were right.. raising the minimum was a bad idea'?
when i was working for a wine and spirits shop on the upper east side a controversial ruling was proposed in the eu(o)
it stated that rose wine, which was becoming a popular wine in the newish 'priced to drink' wine market, could subvert the costly precision of rose production, wherein for example one has to remove the skins at just the right time, with a simpler method of just mixing red and whites together
french wine producers were among the leaders in lobbying against the proposal
it seems france won that battle(i)

In the clip the level maker cleverly constructed a trap wherein the player gets stuck between two blocked doors which creates an infinite loop passing Mario back and forth
The game engine realises what is happening after the second pass and just kills Mario closing the loop
I'm unsure whether the underlying implementation uses approximation techniques, as the op suggests, or if Nintendo simply identified potential halting offenders and added a layer of checks to overcome the intractable issue
note: the clip is loud and includes the player yelling fuck; in case that offends.. that said, the whole level playthrough is a lot of fun
i try to break it down into first principles, then try to break those principles into components and start to familiarise myself with as much information as possible
it can help to apply arbitrary constraints to aide in reducing the initial barrier of entry
from there you can start to construct your own diet around your interests, your body, and your goals
one day i became obsessed with cinnamon and would put it on everything
once i ran out of the cinnamon i had i went out to get more and learned there are different kinds of cinnamon
from different places with different preparation practices that result in different flavors, of cinnamon
so i'd try one, then another, then another, and eventually i developed a preference, now i know what kind of cinnamon i like.. and why
there is a lot to consider in regards to food and diet, but that is mostly what attracts me to it
for the most part it is an unsolved problem, but there are many great theories and theorems in regard its practice
curiosity ensures development
if you buy 'into' BTC in an anonymous manner and make purchases 'within' BTC the transactions are wholly traceable but the source is anonymous
anonymity is lost when moving 'out' of BTC 'into' other currencies that require, or have subsequent effect, of identifying the user

i'd recommend the entire lecture, but definitely at least check out the anecdote this joke bookends
it is about hubble's original 1929 embarrassing failed attempt to calculate the rate of the expansion of the universe(i)
How does a nominalist account for Godel?
i rarely get an opportunity to debate the philosophy of mathematics and i was trying to use this article about this common found mathematical object whose form expresses that computation explicitly to open a dialogue in that capacity
with that in mind, what are you trying to say philosophically with your question?
from your question i am inferring.. perhaps incorrectly, feel free to correct me.. that you think all phenomena are computed
what are the philosophical consequence of such a view?
Realism is the correct philosophical view? Formalism? Some other?
culture 1 : 2+2=4
culture 2 : 2+2=5
translation between culture 1 and 2:
2==2
4==5
180==360
if you could agree on specific definitions: this is a triangle, this is interior, this is an angle, and this is a degree; you would be unable to come to opposing conditions on the sum of interior angles
because the philosophy of mathematics has so many branches with even more leaves i just went with the vague 'opposing' of one branch to cover as much ground as possible
in doing so i was moreso hoping to encourage others would define their own philosophical views on mathematics
i suppose if i was 'arguing against' anything it was more against a sort of mathematical formalism that states math only exists in the mind, or the axioms defined by human minds
if one can construct fractals and then encounter a plant like this it would seem validating to infer the mathematics being utilised by both the plant and the mathematician does indeed exist outside both
As asked you can just use gpg https://www.gnupg.org
Both the individual's story and her message here
I am glad it is here to bring further attention to these issues and even how this specific event happened to this woman
Both the encounter and how the police later handled the 'investigation' are both disgusting and why serious reform is anything but a top priority for officers and politicians is completely revolting to me
But I wish the author was more clear on what she meant in saying 'prevent the next philando castile'
Was she going to prevent it by filing the complaint and removing that officer from the street or was she insisting she would help prevent more philandos by educating others in saying:
> My behavior is how everyone should act in those situations: comply, survive and complain later.
Because Castile did comply and was still murdered
This clip discusses how the definition of 'comply' changes with each high profile murder
Trevor Noah and the writers of the daily show have been discussing the issues in a way that I think has been highlighting some of the problems very clearly, and with great respect and composure
This clip calls out the silence from a leading voice defending law abiding citizens' rights to carry firearms, especially in regard to doing so without fear of being murdered by the police for carrying a firearm
https://youtu.be/0IJSSBMLz6g?t=250s
And this video showcases the newly released dashcam footage of the philando murder
We need to talk about these issues but insinuating blame on the victim is the wrong way to do it
I hope the article was actually focused on the prevention method of filing complaints but I wish that was more clear
So please, until this is solved, comply like Castile did and if you live to tell your side of the encounter then please report these offenders
your definition loses your purported binary classification when examined through rigor
> (a) it makes copies of itself
what about those forms of life that are unable to procreate, or choose to abstain? also 'copies' is ambiguous: see (b);
> (b) the copies inherit traits from the original
seems an unecessary condition.. if one is to accept the first than this is redundant, also it is confusing because you say 'inherit traits' and 'copies', a copy should inherit all traits, so which are we talking about? copies or trait inheriting progeny? if 'copies' is intentional what about forms of life unable to make exact copies of itself, like humanity?
> (c) the traits are subject to variation/mutation
if 'variation/mutation' is random one possibility would need to be completely foregoing the 'variation/mutation'
if 'variation/mutation' is deterministic then are there deterministic models of 'variation/mutation' that you would leave out of your definition for life?
(d) the success of the copies at making further copies depends on those traits which are inherited, then evolution must occur
what about life that fails in its own ability to continue to evolve but heavily affords other life to evolve further.. i'm thinking something like wheat that is scientifically controlled in its evolution because we forced its evolution to a sweet spot that for years helped humanity to evolve as we wanted
that was the most insane interview process that i have ever seen.. at least in regards to the asymmetry between interview process and the work being hired for.. i joked that i was expecting at one point to be asked to draw up a linked list on a whiteboard, or what is the worst case execution of heapsort
'->' denotes 'if accepted'
email a resume-> fill out comprehensive online application with questions like 'what is your greatest achievement in life' -> vid conference interview -> in house interview to meet the hiring manager -> in house interview where you meet the manager you will be working under
minimum wage, and is even one of the least demanding jobs by cafe standards: philz is all pour over, and each employee is only ever responsible for four cups at a time..this is at least how it is designed, i'd be unsurprised if real employees are required to take on more work during a rush beyond what they were hired to do without any pay incentives to do so..
but really, do you honestly think that everything is fine with the way labor, especially on the low income end, is being treated?
there is a serious problem here that needs to be address instead of ignored by holding up accusations of hyperbole as more important to discuss
your response reads like a dismissal of the gp
there are important factors to consider in regard to your comment
regional: where do you live? where are these labor issues worse? rural? city? east, west, south, mid?
educational: how educated are you and your friends? are those being denied work well educated? primary and secondary school educated?
racial discrimination, gender discrimination, age discrimination, and on and on.. this is a very complex issue
but i'll address your comment being similarly dismissive: Everyone I know who wanted a minimum wage job got one without any experience, maybe I just know a lot of outliers though.
all of your friends working minimum wage jobs had 0 work experience? how old are you? 14?

definitely click through the quanta article's links.. fascinating reads all the way down
if you have a 24bit value.. say, a 24bit color, that means you have ~16million.. 2^24==16777216.. possible colors
but if you only want to use 200 colors you can, instead of representing them as the full 24bit value, use an 8bit value.. 2^8==256>200.. and have those 8bits represent a value in an index that points to the desired full 24bit value
so you have to ask yourself.. what parameters of my neural net can be represented as an index? or, what parameters are of a quantity less than the parameter values' size?
wiki defines ann parameters as:
An ANN is typically defined by three types of parameters:
The connection pattern between the different layers of neurons
The weights of the connections, which are updated in the learning process.
The activation function that converts a neuron's weighted input to its output activation.

if you are introducing monitoring on a per user precision why use modulo? with a per user scheduled monitoring moving users based on user ids works as is
maybe i was unclear in the above but i like the gp's simple solution.. especially because i personally have an affection for the modulo operator, but also because.. it only requires an operator that performs in a scale dependent finitely specific number of cycles and works as designed without any monitoring
the above was intended to bring attention to shortcomings and probable failures in an otherwise elegant attempt
the method is flawed but the direction is superb
user_id%numb_server may work early on when user activity and uptake are consistent,
but what happens when user activity becomes more complex: increase in users, some users abandoning the platform, others using it more; and that complexity lacks homogeneous distribution through this only concerned property: 'user id';
what if over time you gain more users but the majority of people who drop the platform have a user_id%numb_servers==2|11|13|17
in this case you would have some servers working hard while others sitting dormant
what is the real distribution of the relation between activity and user_id over time? asymptotic(o)? similar to the prime numbers(i)? a gaussian distribution(ii)? a benford distribution(iii)?
whichever future dada will show to be the best fit, most distributions show a strong trend toward eventual favoring of values
which i think implies, to ensure an even distribution of work across servers, the problem requires something with greater dimensionality than modulo on an immutable value that is defined serially
