    So I'm an American living in Sweden, the socialist nanny-state hellscape of the GOP's fantasies. Here's what it's like to live in a country with a high effective tax rate and a commitment to spending for the common good:

    ITYM the Vancouver-Seattle-Portland-SF-LA corridor.

    While NYC will always be US best city, the Seattle-Portland-SF-LA corridor hands down beats Bos-NYC-Philly-DC

    Oh. My brother informs me that this was, in fact, more or less the rules we used to play by as kids.

    Amtrak Train 501 was running along a new, $181-million route primarily funded by the federal government.

    The train accident that just occurred in DuPont, WA shows more than ever why our soon to be submitted infrastructure plan must be approved quickly. Seven trillion dollars spent in the Middle East while our roads, bridges, tunnels, railways (and more) crumble! Not for long!

    Game idea: Battleships, but you take 5 shots at a time and all you know is how many of them hit, not which ones. Harder variant: all you know is if the number of hits was >= the result of a secretly rolled six-sided die.

    It's difficult to understand the rationale for a policy that will harm consumers, civil society and the most dynamic parts of our economy. We'll all come to regret this.

    It has begun! Margo Seltzer moves from Harvard to UBC. My prediction: this is only the first in a long line of researchers who will be moving from the USA to Canada for better funding (Margo gets $1M each for 7 years), and more inclusive/non-toxic immigration policies.

    I'm very excited that Margo is joining !

    I still like ’s phrase on this the best: if the world was data driven, it would see that people love looking at car accidents and create more of them. It is time for FB and Twitter to move beyond car accidents.

    Yeah. I'm still stuck in particular on how weird and interesting it is that the chain rule is now a key primitive of software modularity/composability.

    It’s weird to think that DNNs basically work only because of the chain rule.
