You cannot pose as a parangon of free speech when your company just fired a dissenting voice. For all intents and purposes the content of the memo was balanced, polite, and restricted to the Google audience. The adult reaction should have b

Same here. I cannot believe the amount of organized dishonesty. I have a Ph.D. in CS; if anything remotely similar had happened to me, my advisor would have stepped in strongly. Also, my field is a very small world and such a behavior would

We are not created equal when it comes to metabolism. I have an extremely slow metabolism. I'm a 6'3, 205lbs male and I must eat no more than 1000 calories a day to keep a balanced weight, and that includes 1 hour of work out a da

Parent of 3 kids that fly a lot here. Airlines force you to buy a full seat as soon as your child turns 2. This woman was most likely forced to buy a full ticket for her child. This is properly inacceptable. I don't understand why this

That's just too cool. I have not read such a faith-in-humanity-inspriring moment in a long time.

Here is a publication that describes a more advanced embodiment of the system I mentioned: https://www.computer.org/csdl/proceedings/sc/2015/3723/00/28... ; it don't think it explicitly co

I also worked in that space several years ago. RDMA-based paging is a very tempting (and sexy) concept. There are however several challenges that make it very impractical in commercial scenarios: 1. Availability: what happens when a node go

Intuitively it seems easier to build strong inference heuristics for CGRA than FPGA given the more constrained (limited?) degrees of design freedom. I've always been wary of inference-based systems that target clocked logic. Most of th

Gotcha. So very similar to what IBM tried to do with LiquidMetal ( http://researcher.watson.ibm.com/researcher/view_group.php?i... ), albeit for Java.

Many places in Gallia are off: Vienna is one; Augustodunum is certainly not at the same latitude as Lutetia; Genava is most certainly not south of Lugdunum; etc. Cool map otherwise !

Automatic, yes. Semi-automatic, no. With semi, the driver makes the decision, and the system execute it (the best in class is within 10ms IIRC).

I agree, but that's beside the original point. There is a moral difference between raping and pillaging a defeated foe and leveling an entire civilian city as part of a war strategy (examples: Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Dresden, Oradour sur

The "martial" part is about fighting. The "art" part is about honor, respect, and sportsmanship -- or "giving your opponent face".

Eastern martial art forms epitomize this "genteel" era. In the western world, it officially ended with the 2nd world war when civilian targets were acceptable, but the ships was sailed already by the first world war. Of course, we

It's about honor, respect, and sportsmanship. When Mr. Xu realized the superiority of his martial art form, he should have behaved himself in a more dignified manner: let his superiority show without giving his opponent a beating.

MMA is to martial art what modern warfare is to the art of war: achieving supremacy, regardless of the means. A testimony of our times.
