The US operated four helium-filled airships in the 20s and 30s, and three of them were destroyed by bad weather. We do incredibly better at forecasting the weather today, But it is important to remember that flammability was not the only problem with the first generation of airships.

Building scalable serverless solutions with IBM Bluemix OpenWhisk
IBM just announced its new event-action platform IBM Bluemix OpenWhisk, an event-driven programming model for cloud-native application development that allows it to execute code in response to events.

OpenWhisk propagates a serverless deployment and operations model hiding infrastructural complexity to allow users to focus on providing the code to be executed. It provides a fair pricing model at any scale where the platform provides exactly the resources being needed and where users are only charged for code running.

OpenWhisk helps to focus on developing value-adding code instead of worrying about low-level details. It hides complexity and allows users to develop highly scalable solutions.
It provides a flexible programming environment that allows to develop in different languages like NodeJS and Swift to reuse skills and to develop in a fit-for-purpose fashion. It even allows for the execution of custom logic via docker container.
OpenWhisk also eases access to the diverse Bluemix ecosystem comprised of services from different domains. Due to the importance of providing access to an open service ecosystem it has been made available as open-source encouraging others to participate to accelerate development and to help building such an ecosystem of building blocks that can then be stitched together easily. OpenWhisk provides powerful tools to interconnect and even chain these building blocks without the need to touch the actual building blocks’ code. With OpenWhisk building blocks that have been created in the past can even be shared to foster reuse and to avoid teams doing duplicate work.
OpenWhisk can also be used by mobile developers that want to outsource compute intensive tasks to a scalable cloud platform. It eases this easy by providing mobile SDKs and by supporting languages like Swift even on server-side.

How does the absurdity of that result not serve as its own refutation?
Stepping back for a moment, while it's obvious how this might be an issue for image algorithm APIs, it's unclear to me whether this is an actual impediment to AI in the real world.

What I mean is: I have a hunch that if you were to gain control of the precise activation of each retinal photoreceptor in my eyes, you could send me into epileptic shock or induce all sorts of terrible physiological conditions. You could create retinal activation maps that, when printed out on a screen, appear like noise or normal objects, but when applied directly to photoreceptors would be interpreted by the brain to be something completely different. So I'm not sure defending against this is necessary for real-world AI, although improvements in this area will probably carry over to improvements in general performance / the theory of how deep learning works.
That's not something I would reasonably expect my parents to know about or do.

Then you should be teaching them, much like how I've taught friends and family to reformat and reinstall the OS on any prebuilt device before actually using it.

The only way things will get better for everyone is if we, the ones who know how, try our hardest to educate the ones who don't. If we remain complacent and want others to solve our problems for us, we're implicitly giving up our freedoms to the governments and corporations who are more than willing to take control of more and more aspects of our lives. Asking for "secure out of the box" will make them interpret it to mean secured against their owners. It certainly won't be easy, but that doesn't mean we should give up.
I agree that a good data model is key, in fact the way you structure your data is probably the most important thing.

But the reason that the hadoop ecosystem is so good is because it's a growing ecosystem with a lot of momentum and a focus on processing large and growing amounts of data at scale and in a distributed/parallel fashion. If this is what you need the ecosystem is perfect.
I don't know about the safety questions but hydrogen doesn't provide too much more lift than helium. Compared to the density of air being displaced the difference between hydrogen and helium is pretty small. It goes from a mass fraction of about 25% to around 6%. Certainly an improvement, but there's only a 25% increase in buoyancy from helium to hydrogen.
When something you create is public, you no longer have a right to dictate it. You do not have a right to be forgotten. That would be an attempt at some sort of thought control, and you don't get to tell us that this comment you just wrote can and should be forgotten. If I choose to remember it, outside of your wishes, there's nothing you can do about it.

Private information is another matter, but when people presume they have rights to choose how others think, it really makes my blood boil.
I'm curious about this as well. How did you choose your banking partner and what considerations did they have re: kyc/aml in this venture?

There are different expectations for the Internet and the software that runs your hardware.
Interesting, as no Nokia patents were bought by Microsoft.

MS licensed their patents, but the current profitable Nokia kept them and has a unit dedicated to research and IP.

One can argue that the licensing was cheap, but cross-licensing agreements between companies is very common.
Unless you can substitute an equal-weight return cargo or ballast when unloading, you will have to remove some of the lifting gas. If you compress it into cylinders, you will have to move them to where they are needed. That will give you ballast, but then you have to move the empty cylinders to where they are needed...
While we include a new bank account when you incorporate through Atlas, you can update your Stripe account to use a different bank account—like your personal account—if you prefer. That said, using a checking account over a personal bank account might make more sense for your business; you'd want to get advice on this to decide the best setup for you.
Having taken courses in biomedical engineering, and done some research for a company looking to do what you describe, I can say with some certainty that it is very difficult to start a medical hardware company. You need to outsource production to an expensive certified CM with large expensive MOQs, unless you want to go through time consuming and expensive manufacturing approvals yourself (before being allowed to make or sell anything). You must also develop (easy) and have your device approved (hard), as well as not being allowed to change anything without additional time consuming and expensive approvals. Add in the fact that most diagnostic electronics require the highest level of scrutiny, paperwork, bureaucracy, and delays, and you quickly figure out that you're better off doing something else.
Nice to see that economic reason prevailed over protectionism, but at the same time, sharp would probably be a good company to split into various smaller businesses. It's doing to many barely related things.

The difference is more than your suggesting as you care about lifting the ship's cargo not just the ship's total mass. AKA if the air can lift 20 tons, and the ship masses 10 tons then increasing that to 25 tons is a 50% increase in cargo capacity (25-10) = 1.5 x (20-10) not a 25% increase.

Why is that absurd? The theory is well defined and defended.
" they don't obviously get to impose penal sanctions on people for saying no"

I wonder if there is any negative effects associated with being refused entry by a CBP? Could it be the case that if you are refused entry once, that in the future they will be more likely to refuse you entry? If so, that's a fairly significant penalty/power that the CBP person has.
I'm being very pessimistic here, but even with e10s improvements Gecko is clearly dying.
>And in terms of energy cost, large classical airships like the ones that flew in the 1930s are just barely cheaper than the most efficient cargo planes...

This, I think, is simply wrong, though I'd be happy to look at numbers to the contrary. Unless, of course, he's trying to compare actual airships from the '30s to today's cargo planes.
It's worth noting they were well aware of the contradiction and slavery mainly got a pass to avoid an immediate civil war with the southern colonies. So yeah, they made choices for purposes of political expediency, but they weren't totally unaware of the contradiction. Thomas Jefferson was actually in sort of a "tough" spot (I say this without sympathy or defense) because it was widely recognized in his intellectual circles that slavery was wrong and against the many ideas he and his peers espoused, but his own personal wealth was so tied up in it that he had to make intellectual excuses for it (see Notes on the State of Virginia).
LCD know-how is good no doubt, but there are good reason why from the domestic side nobody wanted to step in. Honhai is obviously looking to diversify, but how they will make it work ... Well, time will tell. Let's not forget there are many strong players in CE.
Thank you, your comment along with the one further down by `Houshalter` helped me see something I was missing.

I think it is still an interesting point to reflect on whether or not the adversarial examples "belong" in the population distribution or not. Take the example of the distorted Stop sign in the paper. It comes from the space of adversarial examples, but I think most of us would agree, as far as human perception goes, that that image should be considered part of whatever space comprises positive examples (if the system is trying to replicate human performance). Humans see it unequivocally as a Stop sign, so regardless of subtleties that make it non-natural, from the point of view of "I know it when I see it" it should be considered as if it were natural.

So then the next question is whether all adversarial examples have to have that property. I mean, they obviously have to be good enough to fool the oracle, and potential any humans who check them out to see what's going on.

In the other link that `Houshalter` shared, however, there is the example of random noise being classified as an ostrich. So in that case, we can see that input is non-sensical for the particular label. There would probably be some spectrum moving from obvious images to noise/gibberish images, all in the adversarial example space. And finding the line between them probably could not be any easier than the original learning problem in the first place.

I'm just thinking out loud.
Probably a good place to start:

https://github.com/integrations

It's an incredibly sparse list though, given GitHub's popularity. Compare this Atlassian's marketplace

which seems to include everybody, both big and small.
That's a kinder assessment. I'm not so sure though. I think many people don't read others' comments and cruise in, watch video, and bust out their joke, not noticing it already exists in various forms in previous comments.

Unlike offering a general opinion, viewpoint or judgement, we prefer our one-liner jokes to be unique.

What would be the advantages of using Gecko over Webkit or Chromium/Blink today?

At least with Servo the answer to some of those questions would be a definite yes.

More than symbol names, I can never remember details about package options. To set uniform margins with the geometry package, is the keyword "margin" or "margins"? If I want to scale tgschola, is the keyword "scale" or "scaled"? Why don't package writers anticipate this?

Similarly, depending on the font, the command to get an upright lowercase alpha is either \upalpha, \alphaup, \otheralpha, or something else. Why?
It's a pretty good sign that you're posting here to be fair :)
I work at LinkedIn, we actually do use skills in a number of places (like the job pages); typically they are used more of a "here's how your skills compare to other people's" and less of a "you'll get hired if you have skill X listed". We know people can game them, so we try to only use their skills in ways that would be helpful if their skills are actually real to give less incentive for people to lie.
We internally use our three letter acronyms all the time: GCS, GCE, GAE, GKE (which itself is a pretty clever joke about the K being for Kubernetes).
Well, you hurt my feelings. Congrats.

The thing is that security is a fuzzy boundary, so no amount of case law or statutes can draw an easy-to-understand line between negligent insecurity and acceptable insecurity, and the legal community is ill-equipped to make excellent technological laws.

Also, there's no engineering society that censures its members and creates standards or certifications for quality or security, and it doesn't look like engineers are too interested in that.

Medical malpractice or unethical behavior are also fuzzy lines, but at least there's a medical association that draws some kind of line, determines standards for membership, and censures its members for malpractice or bad behavior, thereby also improving its public image as a trustworthy institution.

Here's something to consider. What if the prior lack of buttons other than 'Like' subconsciously conditioned us to create posts that are 'like'-able?

With a slightly wider spectrum of instantaneous reactions, perhaps the content, tone, and nature of our posts will broaden as well.
Agree with your gist completely. I’ve worked in the agency world, and there’s loads of “designers” out there who come primarily from a print background and only have a vague clue how the web medium actually functions. They often try to do something unique or interesting, but the result ends up just being weird or not at all best-practice. (“Lets put the menus on the bottom of the page. Eureka!”) Plus, the client ends up with a website that was designed to be printed out on 8.5x11 sheets of paper. I’m sure a lot of companies have gone through this experience and decided it was a massive ripoff compared to buying a $15 wordpress template and hiring a freelancer to update the content.

Of course, I’ve worked with many incredible web designers as well, and it’s definitely worth it for major brands to have a good design team. But that whole middle-lower-end market is probably just disappearing.

Belize, Nevis, British Virgin Islands are all places you can incorporate for little cost and no taxes, there are many online services that will set it up for you just like Stripe is doing in the US. With a corp in one of these countries, you can then open a bank account in Singapore, Hong Kong, etc. where there is no oversight on your account so you are free to do what you want.

Well, there's a markup language aimed at hypertext documents, oddly enough. It's called hyper text markup language....

Markdown is a good start at an authoring lanaguage, and it's lightweight. It's not complete of itself, though. I'd actually lean strongly toward LaTeX.

What ePub does is to take HTML and reduce it to a decent set. Ultimately, I think that it, or some alternate set of basic document templates are pretty much what we want:

1. Index / landing page. Essentially a directory.

2. Article page.

3. Gallery page. A set of thumbnails or other items displayed, many to a page (10, 25, 100, 1,000, ...).

4. Discussion. That's ye olde threaded / flat set of comments on some topic, with or without an article.

Possibly a few other bits. Anyone who's worked with a reasonably robust CMS (Wordpress, Drupal, Mediawiki, etc.) probably has a pretty good sense of what these might be.

The real challenge is that there's nobody to whack you upside the head for posting utterly gobshite HTML on your own site. This is a place where, as much as I dislike major search engines laying down the law, I'd like them to do so. Strongly encourage well-formed Web sites and pages, and, especially, to provide a bonus for high-reputation authorship, which would require both metadata (author field) and if possible, support for signing major payload (textual content, individual images or multimedia if possible).

Perhaps a few other bits....

There is currently no law on the books that compels Apple to act here. That is why Comey asked Obama to ask congress for a law. Obama said no and advised using the AWA.
