No, because I will kill myself when I get there. I'm doing all the things I want to do before I grow old and incompetent. All the activities you would do when you're old + much more, you can do when you're younger and healthier.

For example, let's say you plan to visit location X when you're old. Well, why not do it when you're younger with the money you would have saved for retirement?

"IT incompetents trying to hook up SAP"

The major incentive for SAP is to drive customers to their consultants. It's basically designed to be impossible for anyone else to maintain, or use.

Target should have modified their American in-house system instead, where the incentives align with Target running smoothly.

Yeah, how dare my life contradict your perceptions of what my life should be like since I share the same skin color.
I think are tons of people just like me. I hungout with a diverse group in high school and college. Just where do you think this open racism had to happen at. It's certainly not happening at most companies or schools these days. That covers most of people's lives.
Also I think you and Dcole our out there if you think EVERY person of color has to had been openly discriminated against. You're projecting your experience onto millions of people. How ridiculous is that. I know some people have openly racist experiences but it's hilarious that you think there is no other experience in the USA other than that
Right.

Giving female characters the same exposure as male character, and equally, giving women equal voice as men, is exactly like a faith based decision making process. Perfect analogy.

“What you're actually saying is that you want some outcome other than what the market, which absolutely is a naturally occurring phenomenon despite your beliefs, has produced”

The market, again, is not some natural occurring phenomenon. It is steered by culture and the existing power dynamics within it. That includes pervading issues of sexism, classism, racism, and countless other facets that shape it.

If you do not believe this, you are ignoring at least fifty years of sociology.

Further, if this concept were so alien, so outrightly crazy, so radical, the chances that it would be getting any attention at all is unlikely.
> Underlying our approach to this subject is our conviction that "computer science" is not a science and that its significance has little to do with computers. The computer revolution is a revolution in the way we think and in the way we express what we think. The essence of this change is the emergence of what might best be called procedural epistemology ­ the study of the structure of knowledge from an imperative point of view, as opposed to the more declarative point of view taken by classical mathematical subjects. Mathematics provides a framework for dealing precisely with notions of "what is." Computation provides a framework for dealing precisely with notions of "how to."

I was mostly talking about DACs and amplifiers, not headphones. Headphones have to deal with more trade-offs: comfort, size, isolation, and the fact that it's really hard to get them to accurately reproduce sound. Still, so what if current headphones suck at reproducing sounds? That doesn't mean we should ignore quantitative measurements. If the "right" inaccuracies are so subtle-yet-crucial, it's important to quantify them! Then we can evaluate headphones based on how accurately they create those inaccuracies.

And I think you're missing the point of the EQ experiment. NwAvGuy wanted to see if there was more to quantifying headphone quality than a frequency response curve. He was right. That just means that objective evaluations of headphone quality will need to include more measurements. That doesn't mean we should disregard measurements and go with subjective impressions. Otherwise, something as mundane as a warm drink can skew the reviewer's opinion.[1]

You should look at options for charging per movie/show. Then hopefully the copyright owner wouldn't care where the paying customer is living. I realise that a large portion of the public wouldn't pay for it, but I suspect there's a substantial market for it: A lot of people are still going to cinemas these, which I personally fail to understand, but it makes me think that a lot of people will pay per movie from the comfort of their home if charged at a reasonable price.
They are specific. See 5 in 5.1.2.4 Multi-threaded executions and data races in n1570.

In term of real hardware it translates well in MESI/MESI-like protocol on cache lines on ooo cores, without much more constraints (of course some arch are sufficiently weak to still require special instructions, but on the other hand x86 don't need anything for acq/rel). If the different cores never touch the same cache line, they don't need to do interact at all even when both execute unrelated acq/rel atomics.
Line-level inputs will be in excess of 1 KOhm (10KOhm if properly designed) Headphones will be up to 600 Ohm (I guess some boutique brands could have examples higher but I digress, the grand majority is between 16 and 250 Ohm).
One of the problems is that SCADA has its own software culture and its own security culture. There are specialty SCADA security firms (for no good reason I can come up with) and it sometimes feels like software security research is progressing in parallel on two (or three, or four) separate tracks.

Industrial control software doesn't get the attention that normal software does because it takes a specially-seasoned consulting sales person to get industrial software on the docket for a consultancy. The really good consultancies are overbooked anyways (the big 5 Internet firms buy consultant/years the way smaller firms buy consultant/hours), so there's not much incentive for the best talent to get applied to these projects.

If Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek hadn't gotten on stage in track suits to talk about car hacking, the same might be true of automotive, but now every consultancy wants a car-hacking practice.

I've managed a few energy-sector projects. The targets were really, really bad.
"Here, real world cases likely will have only a fairly limited number of registers and only a limited (but potentially very long) length of code to optimize across.
"

You can do a good job with polynomial time heuristics (chaitin's heuristic) for coloring, however, you are wrong about the code. It is often very weird. At the same time, most of the performance issue is not coloring, or trying not to spill at all. The problem is deciding where to split live ranges (which introduces copies), where to merge existing live ranges (which removes copies at a cost of more interferences), where to spill, where to remat, are quite hard.

I linked to the "harder to grok" piece because that's what would give you programmatic control by setting an X header. That's as opposed to calling sendfile() yourself from your app. Helpful if you're trying to do something more than just serve up static files...like maybe in a page cache, where you also want dynamic control over other headers, etc.

The simpler sendfile=on would just be instructing nginx to use it for static files.

Yes, but I guess you need to train it first. And if you have been bad at categorizing in the first place, you will start with bad training data.
In my opinion as an EE there would be some reasonably reliable ways to detect either a line or headphone connection. Headphone impedances are typically between 16 and 600 Ohms, and line impedance is typically in the 10's of kOhm range. That's one way to differentiate. There has to be an output signal (presumably audio) first, however.
Another way is to apply a very small DC current (that would certainly not damage headphones, so I would guess in the micro-ampere range) and check if there is continuity or measure the DC resistance of the load outright. For line inputs, as they're usually AC-coupled, DC resistance would be infinite, and for (DC coupled) headphones it is very low. It's an interesting subject and I wouldn't be surprised if there are some patents involved.
Payday loans and predatory loan interest rates are illegal in at least several EU countries, like Belgium for example (sorry, link in Dutch):

http://economie.fgov.be/nl/consument/consumentenkrediet/Kred...

Absolute max APR is 11.5%. Charge more, and the consumer can just walk away from your shark credit without paying any interest.

I wonder if there's been any scientific research on the effects (or the absence!) of such legislation. Anyone?
You can't hold someone liable for a standard that isn't legally defined. So, defining regulation that sets a reasonable expectation of security that every IoT manufacturer has to adhere to is not a bad idea, and helps everyone.

> On top of that, if actual harm comes to users of these devices as a result of these devices then we already have plenty of consumer laws protecting them.

When was the last time a software company was held liable for their software not working correctly, and exposing users unnecessarily? Most of them EULA their way out of any lawsuit to begin with.
Often, people who fall into a debt trap start with just one reasonably small loan, a few hundred dollars for a few weeks.

So if your first-time borrowers still pay 200-700% APR, then I don't see how offering lower rates to people who have demonstrated their ability to repay addresses the problem of people who are actually unable to repay falling into this trap to begin with.
It's not the word that is the problem. The problem is that the word is used with intent to insult people for the sin of being white and male. No matter what word you choose to use for that insult, it will be met with an eye-roll.
Tacit knowledge is a useful concept not mentioned by Minsky. I don't think programming is really a good way of expressing a "poorly understood and sloppily formulated idea" of this type: a third party's visual experience and verbal description of a skillful but complex human action such as shearing a sheep.

The old philosophical distinction between the discursive and the intuitive is key here. Can you systematically write a program which exactly replicates your intuitive responses to some set of possible situations? I'd say it's difficult or impossible, because of the complexity of the brain and our lack of perfect introspection into what goes on in our minds.

Not sure Minsky really has a lot to offer a contemporary AGI readership. His work feels more than a little mechanistic.
That's weird, because I said nothing of the sort. In fact my GP comment pretty strongly implies my belief that some privilege does exist.

My argument is fairly constrained in scope and can logically be broken down like this: privilege can be used to describe a group but not applied to an individual. This should be axiomatic; incorrectly applying group properties to an individual is known as an ecological or division fallacy. Whenever you hear (or invoke) an admonition to "check your privilige", consider whether this error is being made.

The thing is, people know this. I know they know this because any example of "anti-privilige" is summarily dismissed as a unique case representing the elastic nature of privilige.

The other thing that makes privilige hard to discuss is that when you question assumptions or ask for specifics, you are instantly dismissed as an enemy of the cause. Your reply here is a great example. Above you mention "a million other things" that have been "insanely thoroughly documented", I said I'd like to see them to look at them critically, and that trigged Red Alert. At that point you lumped me in with climate change deniers and considered me irrational, because asking questions makes me the Enemy. This is a pattern that occurs frequently; the CoC discussion on php-internals took a similar path. It's such a bizarre thing to me, because as engineers we all follow a rubric that's roughly: 1. identify and describe the problem 2. consider solutions 3. implement the best solution. But in the social justice arena, trying to participate in #1 gets you cast out as oblivious, ignorant, irrational, or worse -- unless you belong to a certain in-group.

In the quest for inclusion, it seems like there's a lot of exclusion happening.
From the first paragraph of the article:
"When the Education Department releases its biennial scorecard of reading and math scores for all 50 states this week, Florida and Texas are likely to look pretty mediocre.

I've worked with all of these as well, and also like 3 the best. What level of manual testing, unit testing, etc do you use? And do commits to master automatically get deployed?

Currently at work, my team currently pushes directly to master, or sometimes to a branch that is merged depending on the size of the work. Code is autodeployed to a staging environment, and then manually promoted to production a few times a week after smoke testing.
There are two main reasons to try to pare it down: The processing time, and that if you manage to pare it down to the words that are actually relevant, then you reduce the chance of over-fitting to specific features that are actually irrelevant (e.g. different frequencies of words like "is" is quite likely to be irrelevant; but of course you do this kind of filtering at your peril - what might seem irrelevant could also turn out to be highly significant in context so it's hard to get right)

Most important (for us, anyway) is t-shirt quality and softness. Like you said, we buy big and they grow into it and out of it but it's the quality that really matters.

Our younger boy wears many of the HA shirts and coats that his big brother once wore.
I'm confused by your first sentence. Read as you have written it, I think you mean that regulation will hurt innovation in the IoT space, not security in the IoT space, because you've already said that none of these companies have coherent plans for software security today. Regulation won't hurt security; it may help it by creating incentive for standardization around secure infrastructure to chip away at the "market rates for this kind of work" which "none of them can afford".

There is good regulation and bad regulation, but regulation can accelerate innovation. With or without regulation, addressing this problem with more standardization of secure software and hardware infrastructure would reduce the need for human assessors (or at the very least, push what they're worrying about higher in the stack). Addressing it with licensing and more humans is probably not the kind of regulation I'd look for. So could there be bar-raising regulation that encouraged infrastructural solutions that benefited the industry as a whole?

I'd hate to inject insurers into this world, but one way might be to require IoT manufacturers to carry some sort of indemnification against potential consumer damages, and the insurers drive the security quality. In the 1990s, it was insurers, tired of anesthesia-related malpractice losses, who created back-pressure on the profession to put better clinical standards in place, and errors related to anesthesia-related causes dropped, as did premiums for practitioners following the guidelines. Everyone benefited--especially the patients.

But in the IoT world today, there are no meaningful incentives around securing devices, and consumers have little influence.
