Make has a branding problem. Most people consider it a build tool for C programs when it's actually a declarative language for defining relationships between files. It's been a viable tool for decades (talk about a mature product!) because of its power and flexibility. And no build tool matches its wonderful accessibility, since you can just drop arbitrary shell commands in your recipes.

Many of the listed "paranoid" backups suffer from a single point of failure: your computer. If your computer gets compromised then it can silently erase/cryptolock files on your computer or even on your backup drives in the rare event when they are connected. IMO in practice it could only be feasible with a targeted attack after a thorough investigation of your backup plan (assuming if you don't make it public on your blog).

I don't know crashplan but AFAIK most backup services suffer from the same problem. If you regularly enter or store account credentials for your backup service then it can be stolen from a compromised computer and can be used to delete backups from the past. It can be mitigated if your backup service provides two accounts for the same backup: an "append only" account and an "administrator" account. The idea that a compromise of the "append only" account can't delete your past backups.
In French, where English got the word violence from, "violence verbale", is how you say verbal abuse. And it's not the only language where it is so.

And it is funny (and perhaps even ironic) you should bring up that nursery rhyme. One of the very first things you learn when you study history is that in order to know the state of certain societies, read what they legislated, wanted to legislate, or warned against. No one legislates or warns against things that don't happen. The reason that is a nursery rhyme, rather than, say, "Sticks and stones may break my bones but bubbles never hurt me", is precisely because words do hurt.

But a much more profound thing to understand is that those who have power rarely need to exert it physically over others. Intimidation is enough, and is common in nature, too. Any sort of physical struggle bears a lot of risk for both sides involved (even if it's leopard vs. gazelle), so animals try to avoid violence by communicating their strength both to rivals in their own team as well as to potential prey or predators. It is called signalling (you can read about it here [1] and here [2]). Signalling is a very real thing in most (advanced) animals.

Obviously, being intimidated is not the same as being killed, but that doesn't mean it's not very real.

I can't speak for Dota, but I quit playing league because I got tired of how badly Riot has implemented their ranked system.

There's so much talk about toxicity in league, and very little about what CAUSES the toxicity.

Hands down the biggest issue is not coming down quicker on trolls and AFK's in ranked. They have a system in which they literally FORCE you to play out an hour long game when someone never connects, leaves after 5 minutes, doesn't get what they want so intentionally feed, and so forth.

For someone trying to climb that's automatically 2 hours gone. 1 hour for the game they're forced to play out, and 1 hour for the game they have to win to even out their ranking loss.

I have literally seen streaks of 60-70% of games with one of the above (troll or AFK). Eventually people get frustrated by it and that's when the toxicity starts.

If Riot wants to improve toxicity they need to protect the ranked experience better. I have so many things going on in my life that losing 2 hours because some asshat on the internet decided to troll is just not worth the time. 2 hours is a LOT of time, and while I loved the competitive nature of the game, eventually I just walked away from the game.

Shortly after I decided to walk away from the game, I came across the following video, and it describes EXACTLY why I stopped playing, and where my frustrations with the game where.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UfO7qOHx5M

The day I quit was when I sat down on a Saturday to spend playing league (one of those rare days where I got to do what I wanted). I spent 2 hours waiting on dodges (where it makes you wait when you leave during champ select). I kept dodging because I kept getting trolls in champ select. And then something like 4/5 of the games I did get into had either an AFK or someone who got pissed off in game at someone and started trolling.

I just thought to myself, what am I doing? There are so many more productive things I could have done today, this game does nothing but frustrate me.

I haven't played a game since, although I still watch LCS.
Sounds good. Would love to see what comes out.
I'm using real engines and fuel consumption (draco thrusters from Space-X) and somewhat realistic ship mass (3t) and I can tell you space combat is virtually impossible. Especialy "space pirates" kind of fight where they wait in ambush mid way. I fly mostly around jupiter and "eyeballing it" from one moon to another is impossible. You can fly reasonably easy within few km from space station but that's it. For everything else expect delta V more than km/s. Guided missiles would imho be impossible with FPS realistically achievable in game. Dunno about lasers, i'm trying to keep it real.

> What actually happened to her?

She was intimidated.

It is important to understand that those who have power rarely need to exert it over others physically. Intimidation is enough, and is common in nature, too. Any sort of physical struggle bears a lot of risk for both sides involved (even if it's leopard vs. gazelle), so animals try to avoid violence by communicating their strength both to rivals in their own group as well as to potential prey or predators. It is called signalling[1].

Obviously, being intimidated is not the same as being killed or wounded, but that doesn't mean that this form of signalling is not very real or not a very common form of exerting power over others, in humans as in other species.

Intimidation is very common in man and in nature, and its goal is to save the intimidator's the chance of injury and the intimidatee's life -- if they learn their place. If it weren't very real, animals wouldn't have spend so much energy on it[2].

> Backblaze

The basic problem with Backblaze is that they delete remote files 30 days after they're deleted locally... which means that if something important is intentionally or accidentally wiped and you don't notice for a month, it's gone forever.

That's why I stick with Crashplan, despite the general annoyances of their non-native desktop apps.
My first thoughts as a working professional for 11 years (retouch, photographer and later videographer).

Forget a raw file format (that you will be able to use in LR/PS) and the flexibility and editing headroom it gives you. Perhaps there will be some specialist proprietary software like for the Lytro (that will be unsupported in 10 years, leaving you with unusable files). Considering this I really hope, as The Verge article says, "the output isn't as punchy" (which normally means contrasty and saturated).

The lack of a raw file format will also mean that I can forget DCP camera profiles to normalize the output with my other cameras.

What we know nothing about: what will AF be like? What will the dynamic range be like (considering they're stitching, not stacking, smartphone sensors)? Noise will probably be OK as you can downsample. But Sony is and Canon has 42/49 MP FF cameras out that doesn't need downsampling to look good. A year from now (when Light comes out) more cameras will have followed.

Focal length range is a bit strange. 35mm equiv is a bit on the long side to be an all-round solution. 24-70 would have been OK for me, but I realize that's personal.

Perhaps we shouldn't expect the death of the MILC/DSLR because of this camera just yet. Many hobbyist though, has left both the compact and the MILC/DSLR for a more enjoyable smartphone experience. Perhaps it could lure them back to buying a camera (without a phone in it)
Cryptomove means "Secret Purple".
Oh? I didn't know this! Maybe Crashplan should spend a bit more money to advertise on podcasts.

The part of that whole affair that's simultaneously hilarious and incredibly sad is that the guy literally couldn't have tried harder to make that fire grow. He gave it kindling doused in lighter fuel, then he gave it more kindling and wood to burn, then he literally fanned the flames.

Not to say that having a fire extinguisher is a bad idea, but in that guy's case doing literally almost anything other than what he did could have saved his house.

If that's the consensus (and I don't think it is, it's probably what mathematicians under influence of cognitive dissonance think the consensus is), then it is sadly not based on empirical evidence, which is that 4 other people studied the proof and certified it.

Here is all you need to know to understand game development. It's just two things.

Firstly, on a home console there are just two playable frame rates: 30 fps and 60 fps. This means you can only have frames either less than ~16.6 ms or ~33.3ms long. The next step is 20 fps and if you were even allowed to ship a game like that it would not make any money so you would likely get fired anyway.

You will do very unsafe things to stuff as much as possible into a game's frame because your competition is already doing it and your designers demand it. There is only one thing you could possibly sacrifice a little bit of performance for - development time.

Thus there is this second thing: a game has to ship before you run out of money. The most common production time is about 18-24 months. This is for millions LOCs of source code and terabytes of source assets (textures, models, video, sound etc) written, often from scratch, and tested.

How long does it take to ship software for a new plane in your business? I'd be terrified to even approach a plane that had shipped in 1.5 years, least fly in it.
Looks like the main advantage is bqplot allows you to create interactive data visualizations. Bokeh and Plotly (commercial product) are the existing libraries that do this, but leave a lot to be desired.
Scott Ludlum may be the Greens Senator who detailed how to get around the law, but the then Communications Minister and our now current Prime Minister, said the following [1]:

“If you have a device, you know, a phone or a smartphone, and if I call you
through the mobile phone network there will be a record. Say my phone’s
with Telstra, there’ll be a record with Telstra that I’ve called your
number.

If on the other hand I communicate with you via Skype for a voice call or
Viber, send you a message on WhatsApp or Wickr or Threema or Signal or
Telegrammer — there’s a gazillion of them — or indeed if you make a
FaceTime call, then all that the telco can see, insofar as it can see
anything, is that my device has had a connection with the Skype server
or the WhatsApp server; it doesn’t see anything happening with you.”

He most certianly isn't. Scott Ludlam is from the Greens party, which are a not-extreme-but-still-left left-wing party. They're the 3rd 'major' party in AU politics, but trail far behind the big two. The big two came together on this to pass it, so although many of the minor parties are up in arms about it, it got steamrolled through.

Additionally, Scott Ludlam is far more technologically adept than many of the old white law-educated guys in parliament. He's younger, he's very much of the IT era and is much more understanding of technology as a result. That's why he speaks out against this and other technology-related policies so often, because he gets the technological side of things.

I think (based on your child comment too) that you're conflating AWS and Amazon. Amazon sells things and also allows you to sell things, and that creates a conflict of interest, which has apperently caused problems. I am unsure how much of the problem was direct maliciousness on Amazon's part, admittedly - I suspect naivete on the part of some marketplace users, imagining that Amazon would never sell the same product as them, or would never lower the price of a competing product. Certainly it would seem obvious not to try and compete with Amazon on price or availability, you will always lose eventually.

However, AWS is a different thing altogether - it is a set of services that can be used to run parts of your business. Now, if your business involves simply reselling those services, or is predicated the availability and pricing of one of those services being a major part of the value for a service you sell (i.e. the value you add is marginal, with the majority of the product or service's value residing in the service AWS provides) then you are again in a situation where AWS may also decide to offer the same service, and will probably be able to do so more cheaply and profitably.

Again, this would not be a malicious act or directed attack on your business through inside information, and it seems naiive to assume so. You must have been able to determine a market existed and a need could be fulfilled profitably by providing this service, there is no reason a company like AWS could not reach the same conclusion with its vastly larger amount of resources. The possibility of this sort of thing happening should have been determined during due diligence and market analysis anyway, so it should not be a surprise if it happens.

But companies in traditional lines of business using AWS to save money, or using AWS to build a product where the value provided to the customer is inherent in the service provided, not the infrastructure used, are going to be fine. Nobody worries about the electricity company stealing your idea for a product run using electricity...
I'd endorse pretty much all of this.

I want to make "domain adaptation as a service" the key part of spaCy's business model: you send us text, we send you a good model. Internally this will probably involve annotating part of the text, but that's a tactical decision we'll make.

I hope we can make some break-throughs that help NER be much more general than it is currently. But the current solution you describe works fine; it's just a pain in the ass for each organization to take on. We want to have the required infrastructure and expertise set up, and make the process seamless.

Joseph Mancuso’s Insights on Entrepreneurship
Parts travel from the base server deep into the network no more than a specified number of steps (8 by default). The path is always random, it may include loops and even hoping onto the same server. When it reaches the max length, the part returns back along the same path but in reverse order.

Before getting the base server, the client encrypts it with the data password supplied by the user.

On the forward path, each data part is encrypted (AES) on each server with that server's password, so at the end of the path of N steps it is encrypted N times. When retracting, on each server it gets decrypted, and then re-encrypted again.

When it comes back to the base server, it immediately starts another random path forward, again being encrypted moving away at the base over and over, while being decrypted/re-encrypted on the way back.

When a user retrieves the file, it asks the base servers to retrieve the relevant parts. The parts travel back to the base servers retracting the path, being decrypted on each of the servers. after all needed parts arrive, the client fetches them from the base parts and decrypts them one last time using the data password.

key points by Mancuso

"The enterprising adult first appears as the enterprising child."

"The first school for any entrepreneur is the home; it's not surprising
many have at least one self-employed parent."

"More often than not, money is a byproduct of an entrepreneur's motivation
rather than the motivation itself."

"Entrepreneurs are not high risk takers when they can't affect the outcome.
They tend to set realistic and achievable goals, and when they do take
risks, they're usually calculated ones."

"Entrepreneurs are participants, not observers; players, not fans."

This is a complete non-issue for users of AWS unless they are essentially trying to resell AWS services.

> companies that have had their physical goods ideas stolen and are now mass produced at Amazon

AWS is not Amazon, they do different things - see my GP comment replying to you. I also wonder how many times this has actually happened (stealing ideas) in reality, versus the companies simply having an unsustainable business model, or an obvious product. It sounds like the classic case of looking for someone to blame for their own incompetence, and choosing Amazon instead of some other huge corporation or the government, which are also common scapegoats...

> I can guarantee that given N number of groups, the chances of the best bridge being build by group 1...N are 100%/N.

Is that a joke? What's important to this conversation is that drawing from the the group ∪{N(x), ∀x} will unquestionably give you the best bridge designs and limiting yourself to some N(i) will tend to give you a worse subset of designs.

> I don't however think that good ideas have been 'ignored'.

Think what you like, you are simply wrong here as a historical fact and basic logic. The most obvious counterexamples are productive people who, due to discrimination, had their careers ended (e.g. Alan Turing, Jewish scientists killed in the holocaust) but it should be equally obvious that after given access, people from previously excluded groups had valuable contributions that would otherwise have taken longer to discover. I can't believe I have to spell this out...

> Even if so, the way the initial argument was presented seems to imply that the bridges cannot stand on it's own and needs others to help it... It implies that [unprivileged group] people cannot succeed on their own ideas.

You can keep writing that word salad as much as you like, it's not true. The fact is good bridge builders from [unprivileged group] were being excluded. Despite your fantasies to the contrary, you were not living in a meritocracy where [privleged group] earned all the bridge contracts. You were living in a degenerate system where [group 1] rigged the system so that [group 2] and [group 3] were unable to win contracts even if their bridges were better.

> If you think that is not the case, then I would like you to name at least 2 fields without a prominent [unprivileged group] person with leading theories and ideas. The thing is you cannot.

Lol, a ridiculous standard you pulled out of thin air. Discrimination exists, is widespread and has substantial negative effects on our society. Those are real facts that matter.
