>Anything other than random citizens would necessitate a full time profession of juror and would thus render members of this profession employees of the state in some capacity. This violates the idea of an independent judiciary.

What if we restricted jury duty to actively practicing lawyers? Who better to judge the work of a lawyer than another lawyer.

I don't think the US military accepts people with food allergies like that.

No, but after the first walk they are going to ditch the middleman and pay the walker directly

>If applications were also given the capability to subscribe minimally to resources they require (e.g. this app will access foo.example.com, and bar.example.com, and otherwise interact with registered sharing handlers through the OS), etc, we could be a lot more assured of an application not secretly spiriting away our data, at least if we cared to pay attention.

After which apps will get an update where they first send your data to app-website.com where their own servers will secretly spirit away your data

>Huge flop. These are being practically given away now as Valve looks to get rid of their excess inventory. This being hardware, it had to be an expensive venture that failed to penetrate the living room.

Was the steam link really a huge flop? That's sad, I absolutely love mine. It's probably one of the best purchases I've ever made cost-to-value wise.

Tencent was the publisher for the game CrossFire, which was a hugely popular game.

>And did they deserve it?

Is this sarcasm? I'm struggling to think of a good reason for three elderly people to deserve getting beaten with a bat.

He might have been referring to user specific salts? It would certainly be a lot more challenging for them to test every common password with every user's salt.

>that "the U.S. has the best medical system" is a farce.

Does anyone actually try to claim that anymore? It's only "the best" if money is not a concern for you.

Having speed tiers isn't what people typically refer to when saying throttling. Throttling is "you used 100gb so we're halving the speed you purchased"

Taste is very subjective. I'm glad they don't make cars like that Volvo anymore, it's probably the ugliest looking thing I've ever seen.

>But in terms of how long it takes to boot

I notice a huge improvement in boot times with every (windows) OS upgrade I've gotten.

That is not relevant to the discussion

"they're both the same" is never an argument, it's a lazy cop out from someone who is either too cynical or disillusioned to care and do their own research.

>That people want to work (more than for just the money) is one of the reasons I am very skeptical of UBI.

This is interesting, can you elaborate? I would expect most people would continue to work if given UBI and it would even encourage people to do work they like to do instead of what makes them the most money, but it sounds like you are predicting the opposite.

You misunderstand. I'm not saying you can't try and change things, that's exactly what I am saying. You can't demand everything has to perfect right now, you need to actually start the change somewhere.

>"It would be nice to abolish slavery but our current economic system isn't even remotely close to being anything like this. It would take generations of change..."

This is more like you saying we need to have equal rights for everyone in 1800 before you start working on abolishing slavery in the first place.

>Nobody should be in prison longer than their rehabilitation takes and the focus of their stay should 100% be rehabilitation

That would be nice, but our current justice system is not even remotely close to being anything like this. That will take generations of change. You're trying to say we should be at step Z when we haven't even gotten to A yet.

If you're building a commercial product, a 3k dev board sounds incredibly cheap. My company spends orders of magnitudes more on licenses for an IDE extension (resharper).

You can buy this dev board to play around with and learn FPGA for $75, and it has extensive documentation and resources to help you

How does one go about getting contracts like these with the government to do trivial tasks for exorbitant amounts of money?

>The story literally argues that the UK would not have sandwiches anymore if no deal with the EU is reached. The sandwich was invented in the UK.

That is not what the article is about at all, "sandwiches" are just the hook. In fact the word sandwich only appears in the first sentence and the last. The article is about whether Brexit would lead to supply chain issues with food, which could result in food shortages.

>I am pretty sure that the net economic value created by Apple has far outstripped any alleged deficiencies in they taxes.

That's not how taxes, or any law for that matter, work. You don't get to steal from the society that created you by screeching "but look at the JOBS I created!"

That sounds like deliriant hallucinations as opposed to psychedelic hallucinations. Deliriant drugs (such as Nutmeg, DPH, Datura, etc.) produce a completely different hallucination experience compared to psychedelics. Often times after taking these people do not even realize they are hallucinating everything that is happening (conversations, other people, going places) until they suddenly realize they have been simply walking around their bedroom for hours. I imagine these work in completely different ways on your brain.

How often do you do this fasting?

If you're wondering what the point of this is when word2vec wikipedia pre-trained embeddings are already easily found

>Wikipedia2Vec is based on the Word2vec's skip-gram model that learns to predict neighboring words given each word in corpora. We extend the skip-gram model by adding the following two submodels:

>The link graph model that learns to estimate neighboring entities given an entity in the link graph of Wikipedia entities.

>The anchor context model that learns to predict neighboring words given an entity by using a link that points to the entity and its neighboring words.

>By jointly optimizing the skip-gram model and these two submodels, our model simultaneously learns the embedding of words and entities from Wikipedia. For further details, please refer to our paper: Joint Learning of the Embedding of Words and Entities for Named Entity Disambiguation.

>Clustering is built into it with security

Just to note, distributed erlang is NOT secure AT ALL. You absolutely need your own source of network isolation to keep it secure.

By default the EPMD daemon (that coordinates nodes in a cluster) listens on an open port and accepts node join requests if they contain a correct secret cookie (short authentication string). EPMD has zero protection against brute force attempts to guess a cookie. If your EPMD port is open to the internet it is trivial to gain access to your entire cluster and execute arbitrary code.

I think OP wants to know how the neural network actually plays the game. I think in this case the dota client has an api for bots that it can use?

Interesting to see the disconnect between hiring managers and what people say they care about most when considering a job offer (salary). Hiring managers claim there is a shortage of talent and that they do not care about offering a higher salary. Perhaps that talent shortage would mysteriously disappear if they increased their salary offers.

>We should encourage people with rare genetic diseases

That is the line. It ends there.

>withdrawal from opiates ... can actually kill you

Opioid withdrawal is actually not fatal at all barring potential dehydration from excessive diarrhea/vomiting.
