I remember learning about the Blue Banana (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Banana) in high school. You can see it pretty clearly on your map.

Do you know of any good beginner tutorials for Stan or probabilistic programming in general? All the examples that I found seemed quite complex and I was a bit overwhelmed by all the math. Which might also be a sign that I should brush up my math skills. What kind of math/stats should I revise to be able to better understand probabilistic programming?

Here's a nice video that explains the concept quite well I think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oqfodY2Lz0 (Title: Why you shouldn't drive slowly in the left lane)

Hi, author of the project here. This is not meant to be seen as a state of the art system but more like a very basic example of a machine learning technique applied to geospatial data which might help other people to get started in this field. I am both new to machine learning and geospatial data, so feedback of any kind is more than welcome!

Here's a demo of the project: http://ryfeus.github.io/urban_osm_sentinel/demo/

Also does anyone know if it's possible to get the code for this? Haven't found a github or bitbucket repo for it yet.

I would really like to know why Facebook thought that this would be a better feature for Instagram than for Messenger or WhatsApp. That's how I use my social media apps:

- WhatsApp: Messaging with most of my friends (I'm from Germany and here everyone I know uses WhatsApp) - Messenger: Messaging with people that don't have WhatsApp - Snapchat: Letting my friends now what I'm up to right now. I don't put much thought into what I post there. I mostly follow close friends because I honestly don't really care about the stories of people I don't know. - Instagram: Posting pictures that I think look nice. Often that are pictures that I took with my DSLR and edited on my laptop. I also follow a lot of people I don't know but who I think take nice pictures.

Therefore I don't see me using Instagram Stories anytime soon because

1. Snapchat already has that feature and they probably implemented it better, 2. the content on Instagram is simply different than the one on Snapchat (more high-quality instead of the quick and dirty Snaps).

If I wouldn't have Snapchat and they brought Stories to one of their Messaging apps I might have used it. But Instagram? No chance. It would be interesting to know how other people use these apps (if at all). I realise that I'm probably younger than most people here so my experience might differ quite bit.

I use an Atom extension called "gofmt" which automatically calls goimports[1] every time I save. So any unused imports will be removed and if I start to use new imports that are in my GOPATH or the standard library then it automatically adds them.

Yes, I think a big factor is the region your living in. I am studying in Edinburgh and when I order something from Amazon there it usually takes around a week to arrive. But when I'm back home (Germany, NRW) even orders without Prime arrive in 2-3 business days.

In fact, there is a study which suggests that affluent car owners drive more recklessly than not so wealthy ones. Here's an article about it: http://usa.streetsblog.org/2013/07/16/study-wealthier-motori... I remember reading a more detailed article about the study somewhere but I can't find it right now.
