If it works so well for the (who knows how many) people using the defaults, who is to say that they are “wrong”?

I see, thanks for the explanation.

Maybe I should've rephrased the title of the post better to prevent it next time.

Oh, not block for political reasons (some copyright issues apparently).

My friends in Hong Kong and Canada couldn't watch the official stream for some reason, and got some copyright page instead: https://southpark.cc.com/full-episodes/s23e02-band-in-china

Not sure why this is downvoted. I think it's great and we may see users deliberately do such things to get companies to ban them, which leads to bigger publicity and awareness at little expense.

In this case, the player sacrificed the prize money and some e-status, but for the publicity it got, it was probably worth it.

If you cannot watch the episode in your country, here is a link to the "Band in China" on facebook (subbed in traditional Chinese): https://www.facebook.com/fighterstudiohk/videos/396572967928...

Thanks. (To the other commenters: give them a break, not everyone is a native English speaker. I don't think that comment was machine generated)

Thanks. I couldn't read the WSJ article (paywall) so submitted the reuters article here.

This post does not represent what HKers involved in the movement want, which is autonomy (as per Basic Law), not independence.

I saw a previous article earlier, but WSJ is generally paywalled and I can't read it, while NYTimes is less so.

The author of this story was a front line protester involved in the LegCo incident in early July.

He is a currently PhD student studying political science abroad.

Not sure he will ever be able to return to HK ...

An interview with him about the smashing of LegCo building: https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/politics/article/3017530...

Am I the only one who is worried when he said:

“When you're so early with a powerful technology, sometimes you have to self-regulate.”

Information about how the metrics described in this blog post released today:

2018 Scholar Metrics Released: https://scholar.googleblog.com/2018/08/scholar-metrics-provi...

Topics back then included:

- self-programming computers

- natural language

- neural nets

- computational complexity

- self-improvement

- representations (ontologies)

- randomness and creativity

I think this demo was created recently, and the old article linked in the demo is there only for background info, as the author explained in one of the comments below.

TensorFlow.js only came out this year and the interactive sketch-rnn JavaScript browser demo that this was based off of is also quite recent.

I’m sorry, but what exactly did Paul make on his iPad Pro?

This article is more like an advertisement.

But markets are not efficient ...

Unfortunately a lot of researchers submit themselves to closed access journals due to prestige factors. I understand why a PhD student or academic might do this, to rake up impact factor points in order to graduate or get pass the tenure committee. But these guys are DeepMind, with high salary jobs already, without the academic BS, so you'd figure they would know better ...

I think positions at FANG-type companies are relatively risk-free (compared to other industries, such as finance), and also relatively stress free (if you allow it to be stress free by consciously ignoring the stressful).

Is it something you can start as a stealth project after work, while you collect the 500K/year coupons?

Don't give up. SVG is a beautiful format for the web. People can see the difference in quality.

Les Animaux tels qu'ils sont" (1930) is an art instruction book, teaching children how to draw various animals. Blog post contains various scans of the original.
