Yes, that is how I understand it. But I am also still learning about it. It was interesting to see the margin calls during the 40% price drop of the crypto market two weeks ago. Ba…

If someone is interested in 1:1 USD crypto assets, I recommend looking into the mechanics of smart-assets such as bitUSD [1] on the Bitshares DEX. These are backed by at least 175%…

> Censorship is horrible, but do you have proof that Blockstream supports it? Here is some very strong evidence for it: http://telegra.ph/Inside-the-Dragons-Den-Bitcoin-Cores-Troll…

What I remember from my neuromorphic engineering course (or analog VLSI course) is that we designed the silicon layout (with n and p doping regions) in a way that the transistors a…

Interesting. The concept seems to be very similar to this one: https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.01578

For me it is not just about being comfortable in writing the same language for aerver and client. It has also a technical aspect to it: I can directly run my application code, whic…

Why not buy one of the cheap aftermarket Chinese Android head units? When I was looking to buy a car I specifically looked for double DIN compatibility so that I can later easily i…

I tried VSCode shortly but switched back to Webstorm mostly because I couldn't find comparable refactoring/renaming options in VSCode. Also js debugging options were not as feature…

That is why there are metrics like inter rater reliability and significance tests and confidence intervals, which seem to be all missing in paper...

In addition to that, there might be an effect due to the media hype around investments of Warren Buffet. People see in the news that Buffet invested in companyXYZ so they think tha…

Doesn't the graph on that site show that electric trucks would be a huge win for lower noise in the city? I would be interested in the standard deviations of these line plots, beca…

Thank you for the answer. That makes very much sense. Just a side note: As far as I know a single layer autoencoder and PCA are only equivalent if all units have no activation func…

Could you please elaborate on this. I would really like to know if autoencoders are still useful for classification if I have only labels for a small part of my training data. Is u…

Don't you think nginx is better for serving static files? I first served directly croon node with express and did a test with chrome with a simulated modem connection speed. A simu…

Yes. Also, if several nations have colonies on Mars, I would assume that they would all claim independence roughly at the same time and soon after would form some kind of pan-marti…

Thank you for the link. For other people interested in a comparison, there is a very nice graph on wikipedia which compares the solar cell efficiency of many different technologies…

And touchpad designers too. I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga and the Touchpad is unusable. It has this mechanic click where the full touchpad lowers down, and while it is doing this t…

I am wondering if this centralized infrastructure for financial news is actually a good idea. This could always happen again and again. All the employees in these news companies co…

Dear Patrick, are there any plans to incorporate SEPA payments and/or SEPA Direct Debit into Stripe? Europe is a huge market. Many people here don't even have credit cards. I think…

Good to hear that the pirate party member Martin Delius is the head of the parliamentary committee leading the investigation. I'm wondering if we would be that informed if a member…

Would it make sense to harvest asteroids for water and bring it to the moon? I am thinking about just one spaceship which could go back and forth between some asteroid and a moon o…

> How do you have a spinning part and a non-spinning part? Because you're going to want your solar cells pointed at the sun. Isn't that completely wrong? The full station could jus…

You are mixing up two persons: Jean-Claude Juncker is starting his term as the European Comission president. Jean-Claude Trichet was president of the ECB.
