A poor person does not have the means to displace someone. If you can't afford to rent or buy a home you aren't displacing anyone. A wealthier person does have that ability.

I think what you say is true for long term renters but the complete opposite for long term homeowners. There's rent control, Proposition 13, and fixed rate mortgages. Those greatly help long time homeowner. Homeowners lock in low inte

Gentrification by definition is bimodal and polarizing to the opposite extremes. What you are describing is more the aggregate standard of living increasing. I think the 2 are correlated though. The tell-tale sign of gentrification is inc

I hold both views simultaneously. I see huge potential for it, but in terms of practicality the incumbent mainstream technologies are good enough. Until it gets mainstream adoption it's pretty much useless to me.

Not just high speed, I think I originally got the 40 Mbps plan and they made me get TV cable service when I just wanted Internet. I really don't understand why. They said they couldn't offer Internet by itself. The box isn&#x27

Same here. It still works but I see intermittent issues with mine. That and it feels like I'm typing on a flat glass surface. There's no tactile feedback. Feels like a tongue twister for my fingers. I use external keyboards a

I'm wondering whether types would be required to implement static analysis to see if a particular scenario in the match is not handled. Haskell has the ability to generate a compile error if you don't have a match specified for e

I'd like to see how this would handle nested matching in the examples.

Another interesting thing that was not mentioned was that the index can place semantically similar items close together. For example, look at Word2Vec. It "indexes" / "hashes" words that are semantically similar to

The levels of security: 1) Formal methods and cryptography 2) Obfuscation 3) Litigation Looks like they chose the latter.

This is just a general security advisory on possible attack vectors, there's nothing specific to Russia in that report. Seems like they just threw the word "Russian" in there just because... There's nothing pertaining t

It's very interesting. I've heard it said in online lectures that it does a sort of compression but nobody really uses it for that because existing algorithms perform much better. Guess this is no longer true.

An encoder / decoder architecture learns a more "efficient" representation. It tries to find features it can use that are useful for describing the variations in the input data (images) that it has seen. For example, if trai

I'd be curious to see how different levels of quantization affect the image. From the paper it looks like the quantization is applied at the latent feature space. I wonder if it has similar effects like the celebrity GAN's we ha

It's an important concern but anyone who has Google Analytics, or any other analytics tool, installed on their website is collecting non-user data. This happens pretty much across the board. There's also the concern about derived

Isn't anyone who has Google Analytics installed on a page collecting information and creating "shadow" profiles? I watched the entire hearing, it was pretty interesting. I was surprised how ignorant many of the senators were

How often are these running? I'm currently taking the Udacity Deep Learning nanodegree and have some ideas I want to try out once I'm done. Having credits to train and generate labeled samples would be really helpful.

I've said the same thing myself about bringing back the apprenticeship system. That system required a contract of typically 7 years though and that is why masters would take on apprentices. 7 years is a long time but if there is a wa

Seems like the algorithms just surface already existing patterns in society. They have no inherit bias of their own, they are merely reporting the reality it sees. Is introducing an anti-bias at the search engine level the appropriate solu

Is this a metric that is being used any where? Would be interesting to have 'resilency' metric in addition to the normal 'accuracy' and 'loss' metrics.

Very similar. Dropout during training will force alternative redundant "routes". This is using dropout to give clues to see what contributes to the final signal.

It's because the test dataset involves randomly choosing samples spread throughout the time series. Imagine dropping 10% of the pixels randomly spaced out in a historical graph and then try to fill them in. It's trivial because y

Cool to see that you created a notebook and are publishing this like a paper. I was thinking of doing some projects and this looks like a good format to follow. However, this looks to be grossly overfitting. You can't just randomly d
