http://unshackled.co/ is working pretty well for me. YC's attitude toward foreign founders didn't inspire much confidence.

"The closing of Netflix’s last data center has been seven years in the making."

Does that sound like a drop in the bucket?

Advertisers only get your attention because publishers want their money. It still boils down to money.

The front lines are online.

Should be called "Talk". Looks like a nice product though.

Could you elaborate? Too many Tweets, Facebook posts and news articles to sift through?

Fixed the title :)

Given that "The Better Business Bureau, which was founded in 1912, is not a government agency, nor does it have regulatory or enforcement power," what implications does this have?

Theano supports CUDA:

Does anyone know how to make the formulas render properly? Even using the iPython notebook viewer hasn't helped.

Store redundant copies yourself, each copy encrypted with a different key.

If there are a lot of storage nodes competing on price each copy should end up on a different node, and none would be able to afford a centralized storage service.

how does one almost think?

My biggest pet peeve is how it suppresses errors in inline expressions.

"And existing product liability laws make it clear that a car’s manufacturer would be at fault if the car caused a crash, he said. He also said that when the inevitable accidents do occur, the data autonomous cars collect in order to navigate will provide a powerful and accurate picture of exactly who was responsible."

As a consumer I'm pretty aware of this tactic. I probably still fall for it, but I also notice and think better of sellers that don't use it.

pure math but not much else. "bullshit" is being thrown around pretty liberally here.

Has no one noticed that this is a super-governmental network? Like, including the US government and its NSA?

I don't think the American government is unusual in this regard.

The root cause is power, of which money is a conveniently quantifiable manifestation. Power-seeking has occurred continually over time since human populations became dense enough to extrude persistent hierarchies.

The only difference between a normal government and a colonial government is the degree of integration. If you live under any government you are ruled, not free. The countries we have now grew by conquering and accumulating territory -- that is except in the cases where territories decided to give up their independence like the states in the US.

Are you sure you've looked back at history? People's freedoms are typically limited by elites in their own country, not by foreign enemies.

Programmers should learn more about other domains and domain experts should learn how to program. Programming is becoming nearly as basic a skill as writing.

My mantra for this is "only solve problems".

They might adopt it if it's more stable than their currency, like how Ecuador uses the US dollar.

What do you mean by "block"? A limit on the number of entangled qubits?

Academic self-proclaimed "babe" correctly points out minor flaws in a major insight, misses the forest for the trees.

Brain function is not the only variable at play here. Software and culture change constantly.

Who has more power to do good in the world? A rich business person or a "powerful" politician in a democracy? I'm going to go with the business person. They're free to do anything they can afford, unlike politicians who are at the mercy of government processes and political opponents.

too long, don't bother reading: A proposition is only considered proven when a bunch of experts reach a consensus that a proposed proof is correct. This is currently not the case for the ABC conjecture.
