Two topics I have not seen addressed often are Version control/release management and monitoring. Do you know of any discussions of these for production learning systems? also, i read "prediction latency" as "predation

you just made me angry at all my college math classes again. grr. did anyone have an undergrad math education that was NOT like this?

you are deeply wrong, friend. Our, and the soviet, rocket development was very clearly ICBM development - thats no secret. North Korea is quite obviously following the same path. Yes, it is a technical accomplishment - no they are not

It seems they found it was actually less legible than the old ones - especially in the inverted color scheme some signs use. The previous tests were brand new Clearview signs beating old-and-faded classic signs -- which seems like an unbeli

zerohedge is garbage (or possibly brilliant parody).

Appreciate that you are trying to help here, but there is a lot that is simply wrong or confused in your comment. Suborbital does not imply "close to orbital", and does not require an amount of energy in the neighborhood of that

why do you think that? the second stage engine was off during deployment.

It's more interesting than, but not as amusing as, a tiny hicky-machine.

yup. as long as we and our representatives care more about symbolism and posturing than about unpalatable reality

The B52 and earlier bombers programs at Boeing directly contributed to the development of their airliners - so it's kind of the other way around, historically. you might find this mid-1970's project amusing: cruise missiles from a

They are actually talking about replacing the troublesome old engines with ones from modern passenger planes - it hinges on the expected lifetime to recoup the costs through maintenance and efficiency (a bet that would have been wonderful

This is a worthless article. Yes, the B-52 is old - but it works. Yes, replacements with different missions for different times have failed, or come and gone. We're about to build the LSB which will try to replace the old plane more

TL:DR - we will never run out of raw materials for plastics The resources used for plastic are so vastly plentiful that considering them unlimited is a good approximation -- they may get more expensive but the market will sort that out. A l

This is a really fun and informative read for the history, the chemistry, the humor, and for the depiction of the arc of a technology from obscurity - to frantic exploitation - to exhaustion. The latter most of all.

very interesting links! but far from damning - they make a couple of percent of their income from the heart-check logos which were put on several lean cuts of beef. ConAgra donates some money (they were among the top couple dozen contribu

well, the popularity of gambling shows that there's more to it than that. There's thrill, the perception of control, habit, and bad-math too.

I'd love to see a study using actual cancer survivors and a control - who do not in any way include this information in their resume or discussion or clothing - and see if anyone is digging into personal medical history as part of thei

read the paper (well, skim it) - you might be interested to see your interpretation is a very common perceptual bias. They claim that this is harmful since it decreases perceived competence (as if these traits are somehow in a zero-sum tra
