Maybe since everyone is apparently invited to every meeting, you have to plan for 2^N different groups of people?

I don't think they're compressing this and decompressing it client side. At least I didn't get that impression from the article. You're correct ofc, download costs = 10 months of storage.

So are you going to give me a better estimate?

It's interesting to do a cost analysis here: It's saved "multiple petabytes" of space. Backblaze storage is $0.005/GB/Month = $5k/PB/Month. The GitHub repo has 7 authors, perhaps costing Dropbox $200k

Last time I saw this on HN it was something like an art professor who'd been storing pictures of cherubs or something and it had tripped Google's child-porn detector. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2810946

That article describes the effects of an event a million times more energetic that Tunguska. (6e7 vs 10-15 Megatons)

That's not going to work for Astronomy, or results of multi-year studies.

Did one of the experiments involve drinking a litre of coffee?

If you're just as likely to be right as wrong, then is the only risk that your money is taken by fees (if you don't count your time as wasted)?

"Buy and Hold" applied to the S&P500 actually means "sell when an individual company loses enough market cap, buy one that has gained enough".

Be careful on your conversion from Sodium -> salt (salt is 40% Sodium) e.g. http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/difference-between-salt-sodi... edit: oh actually the BBC website has it labeled as "Salt", but the HT

You can even train the reinforcement learning on the dream sequences and improve it's performance. I'm not sure how that would work. Surely you'd be overfitting on your training set by definition?

What do you think the thousands of engineers that work on these products are doing? You realise that there's a lot more to these products than the web interface?

Actually the bugs they found in CompCert were not in the proved sections. The CSmith paper says "As of early 2011, the under-development version of CompCert is the only compiler we have tested for which Csmith cannot find wrong-code er

Once you have control of the supervisor you could just bitflip something within the VM to give you root there, if you needed it. Or you could just read/write arbitrary memory.

Why should being conservative in your confidence be rewarded above having an accurate assessment of your confidence?
681.
by Jabbles 10y ago
Because it takes a lot of skill to be "always wrong" (you would have to know the right answer in order to answer incorrectly). No skill is represented by getting 50% right/wrong, and indeed it scores you 0 points.

Your analogy to Mercury or flipping coins isn't helpful. (Nor is Kama Sutra below.) I was talking about this experiment, the one the article is about, the one which I linked in my comment. The one which is apparently attracting modestl

Again, you're choosing a different experiment to show this. It's not helping anyone understand if it matters in this experiment.

by Jabbles 11y ago
None of that is relevant to this experiment or my comment. And I disagree that the number of subjects doesn't matter. It matters enormously, precisely because this is a biology experiment.

Would anyone with deep statistical knowledge be able to comment on the validity of results based on an experiment involving 11 people? http://www.cell.com/cms/attachment/2054006051/2060445893/mmc...

Go's current garbage collector isn't generational. And it aims to complete its stop-the-world phase in < 10ms, so even the young generation collection which the author describes as "fast" would be unacceptable (90ms).
