the group is not vague at all. And their media outlets are constantly spreading such news. As repeatedly I said, IS is a late comer to Syria and there are many other groups there. Putting IS to the context just changes the ball game.

Group is so called Gulen movement. Their media outlets are constantly spreading this kind of anti-government news, as they have a feud with them. These guys are well organized, well hid and well educated. Funnily enough many western media u

where is IS in that photo?

by afsina 11y ago
I don't see the facts or the evidence as you do. Problem is that IS is a completely different beast, even many radical opposition groups in Syria hate them. There were and there are many other opposition forces before even IS appeared

Keep in mind that this kind of news (such that government aided IS) are produced/propagated by a group in Turkey who's sole aim is to overthrow the current government because of an evident power struggle. Just take it with a large

Oh we do agree in the blind nationalism issue, no objections here. I do agree ignorance of ignorance is a terrible thing as well. However, unlike you I try to refrain blanket statements on people of near east, or any other place.

All right I am lost already. Where did I praise, defend or reject the existence fundamentalism? And what is the relation ISIS being close to Turkey and OP's emotional name calling on Turkish people?

You just mixed and piled up all bad qualities and past-current atrocities to create an imaginary monster. Then you assign that monster to someone or some particular people you personally hate -whatever the reason- in Turkey. This is not bei

What I am against is that OP, perhaps indirectly, calls Turkish people who votes for/agrees current government as "ignorant fundamentalists" and himself as "reasonable". I think this is degrading and elitist. Maybe

by afsina 11y ago
Ok, perhaps there is a misunderstanding here. Why are you referring ISIS here? You were talking about Turkey and Turkish people I thought.

Also on the subject, sadly, no matter his visions and good intentions, he was a victim of perfectionism and elitism. No matter what the outcome is, Ataturk was totalitarian at the end and some of his reforms were either unnecessary or execu

My problem is not on the definitions, but the "name calling".

by afsina 11y ago
What makes you the "reasonable" and others "ignorant fundamentalists" again? The hubris of elitism has never ceased to amaze me.

That is the problem with the term. AFAIK Original term 'Capitalism' was a Marxist smear. However, Classical Liberals, accepts the term, but they probably would like a term like `Propertyism` or such. Again, Ludvig Von Mises says &

And they were definitely not free market Capitalists.

State Capitalism and Crony capitalism is not free market Capitalism. But sure, word Capitalism is used in a wide spectrum for smearing. However, Chinese calls themselves `Socialist Market Economy ` https://en.wikipedia.org/

Nobody in the right mind would attempt to implement Russian style socialism nowadays (Especially in US!). But he sure plans more centralization, statism, higher taxation, nationalization of education and health and redistribution of wealth.

Perhaps `National Socialism` rings a bell?

He defines himself a Socialist (Democratic Socialist actually. I am not sure what he means). And East Germany was a Socialist state (It was considered as the best of the the eastern block countries AFAIK). However, it seems he is more like

A Totalitarian Capitalist state is an oxymoron. Of course, since there is no absolute Capitalist or Socialist state in the world, you may argue with this statement. However, IMO, the degree of totalitarianism is correlated with how socialis

Wake me up when they have an actual reasonably priced working product in the market. This is getting tiresome as "breakthrough" news piled up but we are still using almost 10 year old technology.

I agree. One could say why not in Madagascar, Chad or Laos then.. I would say abolish the Olympics and make smaller much cheaper sports events.

Keep in mind this has a dual socket motherboard. My colleagues bought 2 of those boxes with 4 titan-X and they are actually cheaper than the price on the web site.

I think Boxx Apexx-5 boxes are already on par with these (even more powerful). http://www.boxxtech.com/products/apexx-5

Thanks, I got confused because in Wikipedia disambiguation page it says "Bassoon, variously called fagotto, faggot, fagott, fagot".

by afsina 11y ago
I do not want to sound mean but perhaps the name "Faggot" is one of the cause of alienation.

They did this even more impressively when squeezing their speech recognition engine to mobile devices. http://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.co...

The main issue here is probably not squeezing memory but squeezing performance. Even using regular SIMD is not good enough if your network is medium sized. They apply linear quantization, lookups and special SIMD operations to make it speed

You experience is probably dated as they are changing things quite fast. They are making hundreds of commits each week. I think there are more demos but not yet ready ( https://github.com/domokit/sky_engine/tree&#x
