How do we know how well-informed or otherwise the people purchasing these vehicles are? There are relatively few people in the world who fully appreciate the implications of security issues and who can make rational risk assessments and take reasonable measures to limit those risks.

Of course, even being informed isn't going to help if this sort of poorly secured connectivity becomes the norm for new vehicles, which seems to be happening disturbingly quickly. If you rely on the independence offered by having a car but all cars have similar dangers, you might have only bad alternatives to choose between, but they're still bad.

[Edit: That last sentence was ambiguous. My intended meaning was that the alternatives to using a car at all might also be bad, for example incurring significant costs and disruption moving to live somewhere with viable public transport instead.]
I rarely do a D in prod. I've built a generic trigger function for postgres and proc for sql server that will do the auditing in K-V format on every table.

And I call a proc to add the stuff to the table to create the audit tables and triggers.

Works well. I also capture information like the host and session references in an audit batch record that points to the audit detail.

I also employ the insert only table for some very special datasets where looking up the history in a quick manner is important.
I'm sure it happens here and there. But generally? No. The people who make the bulk of the trades (i.e. move the markets) have every incentive to not buy at a high price a company that has eaten their seed corn. They employ analysts whose sole job is to investigate those companies.

If you know of specific companies that have destroyed their future for a short term stock gain, you stand to make a fortune by short selling the stock.

Does this supercede Blender? It looks like it has more features to say the least...

The terminology is a bit weird: Positive vs. negative means presenting a stimulus vs. removing it. Reinforcement means increasing the frequency of a reaction and punishment means decreasing it. You have to logically conclude, whether the presented or removed stimulus is nice or unpleasant. Here is an overview:

positive reinforcement: presenting nice stimulus to increase frequency of behavior
negative reinforcement: removing unpleasant stimulus to increase frequency of behavior
positive punishment: presenting unpleasant stimulus to decrease frequency of behavior
negative punishment: removing nice stimulus to decrease frequency of behavior

The great confusion stems from the fact that in common English language, with punishment we mean both increasing good behavior and reducing bad behavior, whilst in classical conditioning terms, punishment always refers to reducing the frequency of a certain behavior.
Modifying an array requires no allocation; persistent vectors always do.

Linear types are another approach where you're essentially passing around exclusive access to a single mutable structure, so all effects are local. See: Rust/Clean.

Python is an awfully weird language to desire this feature in. You don't even statically know what type profile is, so checking the class you think it will be doesn't actually answer the question. Also effects would necessarily be part of the public api of a given class (preventing someone from later changing verified_email to a "property"), which is quite unpythonic.
Great list! Missing a couple important ones I think though!

It seems like it's going on there more because it is conducive to talented/idea people being there in a big group rather than about tax structure.

Hey Josh! I saw your original post, and I was fucking blown away by it - very nice work. It's been a while since I read it, but I seem to recall that you had the bulk of it right. I'm planning on writing another post after this one talking about some basic device management methods, and then work my way up to how they fit into embedded Flash filesystems. One of the things I'd like to do as part of this is write up the BCH error correction algorithm that's commonly implemented in NAND to check for bad bits - it's only slightly more complicated than the row/column parity algorithm you mentioned in your post.

Very glad you liked the post, and flattered that you got something out of it. I saw on your site that you're a CMU graduate - did you happen to take any classes or do any research with Dr. Yu Cai? Never met him myself, but he's written some great papers on NAND Flash device physics that I've referred to frequently in studying NAND.

Thank you
What's paying 7$/month to keep your app alive 24/7?

The cheapest Digital Ocean instance is 5$/month but then you don't have all the goodies like plugins and auto-deploys.

I'd be more than happy to pay Heroku if I had any public facing apps that required more uptime, but for those simple personal apps I don't require it.
oh BuzzBorg, always with the clickbait
I highly recommend checking it out. The great thing is that it's not the fancy features that (pushing the boundaries) that make it a good language. The core of ML is the real gold. I content that it would be a good choice as a default programming language for most programmers.

If you are coming from Python, ML is going to seem pretty weird. The code doesn't look too different but the compiler will be yelling at you a lot. Press on. (As a big fan of Python,) my feeling is that with Python it's easy to start programs and with OCaml (ML) it's easy to finish them.

If you are learning ML, in the beginning try to avoid using fancy features and really avoid non-functional features (i.e. mutable variables). These have a place but most of the time aren't needed. Using them gets in the way of learning this new great style.

I've heard good things about Real World OCaml (haven't read it myself - came out after I'd learned the language).
No. Why are people going to buy shares in something on which they have no way to assert a property interest that would allow them to get paid? It won't work for the same reason that there's no market in fresh air even though everyone consumes it.

I feel that will vary more from household-to-household based on the parents experienced with 3D movies. I've met teenagers who have never seen a 3D movie but claim to hate them!

There has also been some talk (not sure about actual studies) that many adults who claim to hate 3D haven't even seen a 3D movie in the past 5-8~ years; in which 3D technology (and using it properly) has improved. A bad experience years ago "tainted" the technology and they want nothing to do with it. This is discussed by a number of movie critics.

My biggest fear for AR/VR is that the first experiences might be like how 3D movies were... and it'll take over a decade to dig out of the hole that creates. Lack of R&D, slow improvements, niche media, etc.

Which is also why I feel the big players on the field currently are taking their time, working out the kinks, and trying to make the "first generation" [0] as good as possible for as many people as possible.

[0] I know AR/VR is years old and some products have been marketed as consumer-end. None entered mainstream was well as Oculus has AFAIK, so the hype for the product is a lot higher than it used to be. Kind of like how Windows had tablets long before the iPad but it took the iPad to make tablets "a thing".

"Nope! Privacy badger does not send any information about your browsing to the EFF. The only way EFF will get information from you is if you choose to report a broken site, in which case it will only send information about the site you're reporting on, and that information is governed by the standard EFF privacy policy."
One warning. Some functional programming materials (books, tutorials, etc) can be way too theoretical. However this has changed a lot in recent years.

The language itself isn't rocket science. If whatever you're reading isn't a good fit, try to find something else.
the call me maybe series there is an absolute must-read for any post-web 2.0 developer.
There's a hidden premise in your argument that I would argue is false, and that's that programming languages should attempt to emulate the same principles as natural languages. Programming languages and natural languages do not at all fill the same niche, and there are many cases in which natural languages optimize for things that would be bad in programming languages.

For example, natural languages are infamously redundant—for example, gender agreement between nouns and adjectives and even (in some languages) verbs—but that's because they developed so that they could be understood even if you were shouting over the wind or otherwise didn't hear part of the sentence. Programming languages have no such restrictions, and as such, optimizing a programming language for the same kind of redundancy as a natural language would lead to needless tedium like

int x = int_addition(int 2, int 3);

but in the context of a programming language, this kind of redundancy ends up being needless bookkeeping without presenting any of the same advantages of redundancy in natural language.

That doesn't mean that your conclusions are wrong—I think some parameter orderings are better than others! But I think that's true for reasons orthogonal to the findings in this paper.
At this point, the standard intro text is Software Foundations [1]. I highly recommend it; it will teach you Coq and also probably make you a better programmer. After SF, Certified Programming with Dependent Types [2] gets more into the practice of proving serious programs correct. These books are both available online in the form of literate Coq files.

As far as online lectures, OPLSS [3] often has Coq lectures which are quite good.

Also, those allocations imply linked, rather than contiguous, data structures, which (often? always?) imply poor cache interaction, which is a major source of inefficiency.

Would love some more perspectives on this, as I've just watched a couple cppcon talks ([0], [1]) and I'm feeling a bit drunk on the kool-aid.

Maybe I am naive, but I personally believe you can benefit from welfare or healthcare, even if you do not get any money directly.

I am quite happy, that some of my tax money is preventing to have multi-resistant tuberculosis, or STDs (or whatever other horror you can imagine) at every corner. Having a basic access to some healthcare is benefiting every one in the long run. Same for welfare, some basic minimum probably prevents some people to kill/rob just to eat. I wonder if that kind of relation has already been quantified.

I would probably be OK with a 20-33% reduction of my income if it was used to provide a universal basic income.

If you're gonna go that far then I'd contest that simply consuming their content is unethical. HBO is more than thrilled with the piracy rates for Game of Thrones. It helps them. A lot.

If you don't want to support "immoral" companies then great. But you don't get claim moral superiority while benefiting from their work. You can't have your cake and eat it.
I'm guessing there would be multiple shields in a configuration to funnel any radiation away from the crew sections. But I still think you would need to harden the ship with some material like water to impede the fastest particles or something even more dense.

Layman's gloss (and you should definitely, definitely not try to file a pro se legal action based on my understanding of Japanese property law):

Hypothetically suppose a corporate entity in Japan has physical possession, but not ownership, of property you own. For example, you might be in the business of renting out computers. Subject to standard contractual arrangements, they should not interfere with your ownership of that property. If they, for example, go into receivership and stop paying the lease, the mere fact of them being in receivership does not expunge your interest in the property. You can demand they restore it to you and, if push comes to shove, the Japanese courts / bankruptcy administrator will enforce your claims. (I think the magic words are 取り戻し権 but ask your friendly neighborhood Japanese lawyer about it.)

This generally applies to identifiable, movable real property as opposed to e.g. money or IP. The court found that, since BTC are commingled by nature, it isn't feasible to say that the plaintiff has a cognizable ownership interest in any particular BTC residing on Gox's systems. The plaintiff has to seek recovery through some other legal strategy, most of which will probably come to the conclusion "OK, you get a claim against the bankrupt entity -- welcome to the line and enjoy your pro-rata."

Fun quirk of Japanese bankrupt law: if Gox had loaned you a computer, you'd presently be legally enjoined from giving it back to them even if a Gox officer were to demand the surrender of the computer. You're supposed to hold onto property of theirs until given instructions from the bankruptcy court as to its disposition.

I worked at GetThere/Sabre for a few years. There is no public, free API for this information. There is no "all in one" Computer Reservation System out there. You have to go through any number of CRSs depending on which airlines you want to search.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_reservations_system#M...

For example, orbitz seems to still use the Galileo CRS. That CRS gets its data from a number of airlines, but not all. I'm also certain that no access to these CRSs would considered "affordable".
Does anyone have a "top 5ish" version of this list for people who want to keep up with the major stuff, but don't want to flood their reader with data science? I can't tell if this repo is ordered (so that I could just take the top X), but I suspect that it isn't.
Something similar happens with books too, where books are only popular for about 10 years at most if they are still under copyright, but those that are in the public domain are popular for decades or more.

Have you ever been in a second-hand bookstore? The only way I can make sense of your comment is if I assume you don't read a lot of books.
Yes it seems to attract a high-end CS crowd - there's lots of graduate-level CS assumption going on in some of the tutorials. But one of the things I really appreciate is the REPL ("toplevel") which let's you hack around and mess with examples in an interactive way. So good for a compiled language.
Why shooting to wound doesn't make sense scientifically, legally or tactically
Summarizing the complexities of human behavior using models appears as an unpleasant echo from the past. Statistical pioneers Karl Pearson and Francis Galton were strong proponents of social Darwinism aka scientific racism [1, 2].

The biggest problem with an observational approach to aggregate human behavior is that it generally ignores internal structure and makes hasty judgements based on mere appearance.

NLTK is nice but if you want to work with nontrivial amounts of data it's better to turn to Stanford's NLP tools, or Spacy.
You are right, IF the early markets are still not profitable - the key numbers that we don't have are: how are the first 100 cities they launched doing? how are the first 10 cities they launched doing? If those cities have achieved profitability or are approaching it, then it works. Unfortunately, we don't have those #s.

However, if you look here there's some indication that earlier markets were at least closing the operating loss gap:
QQ4.12: 8.2M / 7.0M Q1.13: 12.9M / 7.3M Q2.13: 19.3M / 8.1M

Losses slowed dramatically here, while revenue grew. Note, Uber was still launching cities at this point, but had already taken most of the major US markets - my guess is that SF + NY + LA were getting closer to paying for themselves while they streamlined their launch process into smaller markets in the US. I feel OK making that guess because it's hard to believe that an investor would not have asked for that, and it's hard to believe that an investor would value Uber at $3.5B (the valuation at that time) if that wasn't happening. (Note - I understand that investors are not always actually this rational, I'm just making an assumption in this case).

I imagine the pitch was: look at our early markets, they are cash-cows, and we know how to make them. Now, give us $XB to go make more of these cash-cows please and don't ask us about losses for a long time, thanks! Which is why they don't really care about these leaked #s.
