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. Basically, before the drop some people had enough collateral a

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% of equivalent value of Bitshares. Thereby these smart-asset

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 are operating in the subthreshold regime in the IV characteri

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, which is a single page application in js, also on the server. I

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 install my own head unit. I would not want to support a car m

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 rich as in Webstorm.

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 that must be a smart idea and also invest in the same company a

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, because I would guess that the engine noise varies much mor

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 function (linear activation function), which is usually not the

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 unsupervised pretraining still useful or was it completely re

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 simultaneous fast client was blocked because the number of

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-martian government. It just makes more sense to increase collabor

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 how they improved over recent years: https:/&#x2F

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 the mouse moves slightly. Therefore it is hard to click preci

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 could get a mass of insider information which they could sell.

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 you would gain a lot of traction in Europe if you

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 orbit. It shoots the water down to the moon, so that it does

One more reason to implement the append-only log using blockchain technology. Seems like a good fit. I don't think privacy laws can be applied to a blockchain, but probably that is still unclear. For example, if I post my email address

Maybe it would be possible if you can circumvent the human sensory organs and directly feed the signal to higher brain areas. The delays in sensory modalities are anyway very diverse and not at all synchronously processed in real-time. Even

No. That is not a problem. Please read about the Slasher proof of stake algorithm. It is very easy to punish the creator of many possible blocks. People always use this nonesense phrase that "with proof of stake nothing is at stake&quo
