You can also ponder it from the perspective of a rational hijacker. Why fake BFO when you could have just had no pings at all?

Fuel cells require massive infrastructure before a single FC car can be sold openly. BEV can saturate the market of people with access to parking and power right now - and that's not a small market. The FC vs BEV fight doesn't sta

Another example I hate is the probability of reality being a simulation thought equation. If these equations had some confidence interval based on how little we know it would be clear how meaningless they are.

Yes it is compressed sensing. Compressed sensing is where you have an input that is randomly 'combined' and then you reconstruct the signal you want (it has to be sparse in some way) using the L1 norm.

Well a Nobel prize is awarded for the significance of the breakthrough, and the Turing award is more for the significance of the person. I think it would be good to have an award in computer science that celebrated and validated breakthroug

I tend to think most people look on something like that as an opportunity to score a win for what they believe in rather than genuine concern at his actions as CEO. Some of the decision to let him resign must have come from the lack a succe

It's a dense sensing of the radon transform - hence its not compressive. But you can resample that lots of ways and satisfy the RIP. Reconstruction of images from sparse radon transforms is one of the early examples that helped shape t

You might technically correct in the limited sense that this isn't a 'compressive' sensing - but it's an absolutely classical example of sparse reconstruction. You can resample that radon transformed image randomly and r

Games are played and any amount of variation that isn't reflected in the game play is quickly filtered out. It isn't a problem of better sliders or more sliders or more realistic ranges of results, it's about the variation in

When whom to layoff is a political decision, layoffs will just compound the problem.

I took a stab at using google's n-grams library to look at potential sentences if the code was an initialism. It generated too many nonsense values at the value of 'n' that I picked (driven purely by download size concerns re

Yes I think this is a simpler correlation. Bigger established companies have more cash to pay the CEO but less room for growth. The companies themselves are probably more concerned with minimizing risk and holding position - it might be a b

I think innovation and the disruption it brings is real - but I think this article does a good job of arguing that the inability of incumbents to respond is overstated by the theory and its proponents. Intel hasn't closed down and give

No I think people like to defend things associated with people or startup incubators they like. So in a sea of negativity they latch onto any argument in favour of the thing despite its lack of merit.

I agree with you. I think grellas argument is so flawed that the only reason to make it and upvote is as distraction and current best defense while the dropbox team works on something more believable. The backlash against Rice is over her a

It's the worst date faking attempt in history if that was his intention - I think he republished his 2005 story after bitcoin to point out that he came up with these ideas.

I feel like we've gone full retard about the potential of VR again. Facebook has bought a promising headset technology, but we're a long way off people living in a virtual world controlled by Facebook. While I fully expect Faceboo

Statistical analyses rely on assumptions of sample independence and random selection that are pretty hard to justify with something like this. Are all the articles on the same topic? Are they written for the same audience? Are the works ind

Do you mean the accelerometer values drifted over time (i.e. the direction of gravity shifted on a stable accelerometer) or do you mean the value when doubly integrated drifted?

Yeah that was a little bit optimistic about the powers of Agile for me, but I think the thing that Agile gets right is that we all have to operate under the uncertainty of the scope of software projects. In that sense it's not a method

I know your comment was mostly a joke but thats actually a great distillation of the paper. Apart from not caring about a Christina Aguilera documentary, it does seem like a powerful pitch to me. I guess it reads somewhat more like an reque

What if every fund manager had a certain non-zero level of skill - but the market price was such that the mean skill level returned no profit (or the risk free return rate). I guess this is more or less the efficient market hypothesis - exc

I think you're still suffering from same mindset that led to the problem described in the article though. He wasn't a mediocre programmer - he was a bad programmer. If you make a lot of assumptions about people in an interview you

Head tracking would definitely be one. Although rough position tracking with accelerometer rotation tracking might work just as well. Still these are much lower cost than all the hardware that went into the wiimote head tracker.
