Liberal Arts in the Data Age

https://hbr.org/2017/07/liberal-arts-in-the-data-age College students who major in the humanities always get asked a certain question. They’re asked it so often—and by so many people—that it should come printed on their diplomas. That question, posed by friends, career counselors, and family, is “What are you planning to do with your degree?” But it might as well be “What are the humanities good for?” According to three new books, the answer is “Quite a lot.” From Silicon Valley to the Pentagon, people are beginning to realize that to effectively tackle today’s biggest social and technological challenges, we need to think critically about their human context—something humanities graduates happen to be well trained to do. Call it the revenge of the film, history, and philosophy nerds. In The Fuzzy and the Techie, venture capitalist Scott Hartley takes aim at the “false dichotomy” between the humanities and computer science. Some tech industry leaders have proclaimed that studying anyt

MEMPOSISIKAN HABIB RIZIEQ SHIHAB DENGAN QURAISH SHIHAB

MEMPOSISIKAN HABIB RIZIEQ SHIHAB DENGAN QURAISH SHIHAB https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=247357315761993&id=100014631793442 Oleh : Moh Aflah (si anak kampung) Dua tokoh ini, sama-sama dzurriyah Nabi Shallallahu alaihi wa sallam, sama-sama mempunyai Fam Shihab. sama-sama cerdas namun beda dalam manhaj, beda dalam memahami agama. Jelas saya hanya butiran Pasir hitam diantara bongkahan batu raksasa bila dibandingkan dengan dua tokoh ini, Habib Rizieq Shihab bagi pandangan saya berani bicara benar, tegas, konsisten perjuangkan hukum agama sesuai syariat Islam, wawasan luas, cerdas, pandangan nya Lurus. Ijma' Ulama' dijadikan sandaran dalam berpendapat. Quraish Shihab, juga demikian, cerdas, wawasan luas, Namun dalam masalah-masalah tertentu lebih mengedapankan pendapatnya sendiri daripada Pendapat Jumhur Ulama'. Terutama dalam masalah jilbab. Bagi pendapat beliau, perempuan tidak wajib pakai Jilbab, sehingga tak heran bila isteri dan

Intro to SDR and RF Signal Analysis

https://www.elttam.com.au/blog/intro-sdr-and-rf-analysis/ Intro to SDR and RF Signal Analysis Introduction The increasing popularity of Internet of Things (IoT) and other devices becoming wireless is very much apparent in today’s society. With availability of modern Software Defined Radio (SDR) hardware, it has become more accessible, cheaper, and easier than ever to examine the Radio Frequency (RF) signals that are used by these devices to communicate. The following discussion attempts to understand how this communication information is transmitted through RF, and how SDR may be used to analyse and possibly reverse engineer this signal back to understandable data. To achieve this, the RF signals of a number of simple household RF devices will be examined visually in an effort to identify the characteristics of the transmitted signal, along with the data that was transmitted. Some Basic RF Theory and Te

Cats are an extreme outlier among domestic animals

https://arstechnica.com/science/2017/06/cats-are-an-extreme-outlier-among-domestic-animals/ People who live with cats like to joke about how these small fuzzy creatures are still wild, basically training us rather than the other way around. Now a new genetic study of ancient cat DNA reveals that we are basically right. Cats were not domesticated in the same way dogs, cows, pigs, and goats were. They have lived among us, but it wasn't until very recently that we began to change them. Unlike dogs, whose bodies and temperaments have transformed radically during the roughly 30,000 years we've lived with them, domestic cats are almost identical to their wild counterparts—physically and genetically . House cats also show none of the typical signs of animal domestication , such as infantilization of facial features, decreased tooth size, and docility. Wildcats are neither social nor hierarchical, which also makes them hard to integrate into human communities. Yet it

Competitive Programming Library

https://github.com/AhmadElsagheer/Competitive-programming-library/tree/master/curriculum This is a training plan for anyone who wants to excel in competitive programming regardless of their knowledge and experience. The plan is currently under development and being tested by the GUC ACM community. This plan is meant to be sufficient for anyone. Some communities may offer sessions to explain topics. However, links will be provided for online material. If you want to contribute to the plan to improve it, you can send me an email. We will divide ACMers into three different levels (inspired by Codeforces): Pupil : beginner with no prior knowledge or experience in competitive programming. The target of this plan to be able to solve CF-div2 AB(C) Specialist : has basic knowledge in most of the topics and good implementation skills. The target of this plan to be able to solve CF-div2 ABC(D) Expert : masters basic algorithms/data structures and has good knowledge in most of t

Bushido: Way of Total Bullshit

https://www.tofugu.com/japan/bushido/ Everything Tom Cruise taught you about samurai is wrong The term bushido calls forth ghosts of Japan's hallowed samurai class. A class so bent on preserving honor, they'd rather slit their own bellies in ritualistic suicide than live a shamed existence. In The Last Samurai , bushido melds with Nathan Algren's soul, curing the troubled American of alcoholism, war trauma, and self-loathing. What powerful medicine! A reinvigorated, purified Algren turns his back on his employers to join rebel samurai bent on defending bushido, their dignified honor-code of loyalty, benevolence, etiquette, and self-control. At least, that's what popular culture would have us believe. In reality the term bushido went unrecognized until the early twentieth century, long after Nathan Algren's fictitious character joined the factual Satsuma Rebellion and years after the oust

An AI Hedge Fund Goes Live On Ethereum

https://medium.com/numerai/an-ai-hedge-fund-goes-live-on-ethereum-a80470c6b681 In February, Numerai announced Numeraire , a cryptographic token to incentivize data scientists around the world to contribute artificial intelligence to our hedge fund (see Forbes , Wired , Smith+Crown ). Earlier today, the Numeraire smart contract was deployed to Ethereum, and over 1.2 million tokens were sent to 19,000 data scientists around the world.
