Huh. I stand corrected. I am surprised it's so few. Possibly a shortage of rolling stock as I hear the line is reaching capacity on weekends. Nonetheless, the capacity is certainly there with low marginal costs now the infrastructure i

I can't help but wonder if this is a reflection of Digital Ocean's target market, and its late adoption of block storage and other functionality. Kubernetes is a pretty "serious" tool, and you'd expect "serious

Based on what I know about cave diving, it seems both terrifyingly dangerous and also just plain terrifying. Just this image is enough to put me off forever: http://i.imgur.com/7Vr7F1r.jpg

Ah I see - of course. Should have thought of that. For comparison, I believe my usage arises from evolutionary fitness, where one might discuss local maxima on a fitness landscape. The challenge is perhaps much the same as in ML, with one s

I totally agree, but I thought it was funny that you invoked the concept of local minima - I have only ever heard that concept in terms of local maxima , ie locally-but-perhaps-not-globally maximal productivity, comfort zone, etc. I assu

Is that really a common problem? Can't say I've ever had much trouble remembering what's doing what. If it really was an issue you could just tell one of the environments to throw a banner up the top of the screen or somethin

> There are 10-15 high speed trains between each way per day Beijing and Shanghai Are you kidding? There's 50 or more each way per day. Well more than 10,000 a year, more like twice that, and the number will only go up.

Thanks for the link. That does look like a much more thoughtful use of the technique than I had anticipated - talking about the result afterwards is a good idea. I had been thinking their more common use was indeed to blindly discard candid

Yeah, I've heard that. I'd simply leave if any company asked me to take one of them. You couldn't find a bigger red flag in China.

I don't see anything in the article that supports the thesis of the title? Shenzhen has grown 858% in 25 years, and faces growing pains. OK, but that's not a "meltdown" like the title suggests.
