The first time I heard/read about ECS, I thought it's going to be like Lambda for containers.

Amazon took the managing instances, managing containers, selected the hardest to comprehend parts and wrapped with with a cumbersome JSON definition.

Marathon takes a much simpler approach, but it lacks the control over the underlying cluster.

ECS should be a combination of the marathon with control over the underlying cluster. I deploy a container and I don't want to worry about anything else after that.

For now, I'd seriously focus on HTTP facing services. With simple health checks rules for scaling.
U.S. Puts China, Japan on New Watch List for Unfair FX Practices
As a kid, I put a big Grass Valley video switcher into snazzy effects mode during a break in a show. When the show resumed, with several thousand visiting officials in attendance, the first slow video transition used was not the normal quiet fade between cameras as expected, but involved really cheesy moving, expanding star shape that belong on bad cable advertising. There was yelling in the remote truck. They still let me back in though.
Sure would have been nice if they'd explained what RAP stands for in the press release itself, instead of only in the PDF. It's not a commonly-enough-known term that it should just be thrown around without explanation, and that kind of insider-ism really turns people off to a message they actually need to hear.

FYI, it's Return Address Protection.
Blocking the JS is great and makes complete sense. It's like a slightly more open NoScript, in that it tries to analyze the JS first. The part I take issue with is that LibreJS adds a "Complaint" feature[1] that asks users to contact the web developers to ask them to change their pages. Should people really be emailing Google and asking them to disable AJAX in their Gmail application? Or Twitter's automatic feed updates? It puts an unfair burden on developers and defines a ridiculously narrow window of "freedom" for JavaScript.

Yeah, that starts taking you down the path to "serverless" - eg. AWS Lambda. I think iron.io has a fully container-based approach here (I've only used their pre-baked containers though).
I feel like being forced to sell Google back my device lest they remotely brick it is not exactly a happy ending.

I'm going to continue to posit that weight is a factor of genetics / epigenetics and / or body function first and foremost.

Why is it that some people, regardless of how much they eat and how little they exercise, never put on weight? That, to me, is the elephant in the room.

What is going on in these peoples bodies that is kept out of popular science with regard to weight loss? We know that thyroid hormone function affects weight and metabolism. In women reproductive hormones also affect weight, oestrogen is a hormone present in both males and females, so there's some crossover there. We know that adrenal function can affect weight. We know that insulin resistance can affect weight.

There has to be more to it that calories in - calories out = weigh gain or loss.

If you have an unaddressed thyroid, reproductive hormone, insulin, or adrenal issue you're going to be working hard to address your weight.

It is my suspicion that fixing the diet first improves weight control better than exercise because food is medicine. Anything you put in your body on a daily basis can be medicinal in that it can act to help your body restore homoeostasis or move further away from it.

You're thinking in binary of countries as either socialist or not socialist.

Right-wingers don't care about "socialism" (and they certainly don't care about the living standards in any of these countries). It's just a bugaboo, and a stand-in for the comparatively more micro-scale issues they do care about -- things like progressive taxes, rent control, or (domestic) business regulation generally; and of course welfare and entitlements (for persons less advantaged than themselves), generally.

"If you're in favor of, or even not rapidly opposed to ('financial regulation','rent control','zoning',...) then to all intents and purposes, you are the walking reincarnation of Mao, Honecker and Chavez rolled together" is what they're really trying to say when they bring up this cold war stuff.

I think all of us who aspire to be entrepreneurs can learn something from the events happened after Amazon's stock crash during last quarterly earnings. Stock price dropped to about $482. Amazon quickly announced stock buyback program and stock is up again. It was around $612 before latest quarterly earnings report. And, it is now at $659. Keep an eye on Amazon's amazing stock management skills
Ceph is listed as "block" model when it's actually a distributed object store. Part of this is confusion because there has been both a block store and a filesystem built on top of Ceph (the latter named CephFS). But at its lowest level it's clearly an object store, not a block store.

I run my own mail servers, though, so I just create a new alias for everything, such as these one-off "give us your e-mail and we'll give you x" offers. I generally don't delete them afterwards, though, unless and until I start receiving other unrelated e-mails. Then, they get deleted (technically: timestamped and marked inactive in the database) and after a year they "reactivate" and become spamtraps.

Don't forget the branding angle.

A lot of people heard of tensors as something used in quantum physics, which is considered by many the most advanced/difficult hard science.

So using the word Tensor suggest highly advanced stuff used by very smart people.

Expect much more Tensor stuff in the future.

Other physics terms have the same high branding potential. "Gauge" comes to my mind. However almost nobody outside of physics/maths heard of this one (in the "gauge symmetry" sense, not the "wire gauge" one), so it would need some time to grow.

That's just it, all of what I described were him attacking other Free programs. Telling someone to delete mentions of a Free compiler because it could potentially be used by someone to improve proprietary software harms those working on Free software much more than those working on proprietary software, and discourages future people from working on more challenging free products. His claims of LLVM being an attack from Apple are factually questionable, given that Apple hasn't been a majority contributor to LLVM for a considerable amount of time, plus LLVM being used in a number of Free projects, like Xorg. While he's kept the same dogma, he's not kept up with what users expect from their tooling.

I understand he doesn't care about popularity, however, how can you sustain a Free ecosystem if your tooling is generations behind what's available in other, still free, ecosystems. All the small compromises in the world don't matter if you're not willing to listen to people describing what is currently wanted and needed for modern software development. While Stallman has indeed kept the same ideological course, he's not kept up with the social aspects of the industry, to the detriment of everyone. That's the part that he needs to change.

Fine. But what I'm saying is that "Atlas Shrugged villains" is not a particularly useful allusion, for a couple reasons. Rand neither invented nor perfected those villains' depiction in literature. Orwell did it better and sooner. Second, any criticism of the populist kleptocracy currently in power in Venezuela needs to take into account the bourgeois kleptocracy that came before it, or it is criminally incomplete. Randians and Bush fellows in human freedom have keen eyes for the former, and are conveniently blind to the latter.

I was thinking this too. You can read the HTML and CSS of any website, but there's likely no licensing information attached to it. And you'll never see the server side code of most websites.

What's the reason that's not considered a problem? Is it because it's not actually running on the user's computer? Or because you can think of the resulting HTML/CSS as output of the program?

You pretty much summed up one of the two biggest issues at why the FSF has not had a larger impact on the world. The organization makes issues over these kinds of details and then paints it into a "us vs. them" situation. It seems to have little interest with trying to work with people, and more insistent on making sure you follow it's dogma.

The other issue is that the organization presents its arguments like a sophomoric adolescent. "Windows 7 Sins"? Who's going to take that seriously?

That's how I'm currently running our apps. There are still loads of problems and bugs on the AWS side, but that's to be expected. However, it's far from ideal in resource usage and automation (of the whole infrastructure not just individual apps). Part of my goals and probably that of the article's author was to increase resource usage. My servers are typically around 1%-10% CPU and we have a lot of apps. With a minimum of 2 decent EC2 instances per app (c4.large or better), that comes to a lot of servers with a lot of unused capacity. I could definitely see huge room for improvement and increased automation for the whole cluster (including automated deployment of supporting services) with some clustering solution based on Docker (still need to evaluate). Given my horrific experiences with AWS and AWS Beanstalk in particular, I would never run said cluster on ECS, however, due to extremely poor quality of AWS services outside of EC2 and its closed source nature.
Quantum Moves Game
Well, if the entity issuing the TX was colluding with a miner, they'd craft the TX and the miner would add it to their mempool without announcing it to the rest of the network. Then when and if this miner finds a block, it would include this transaction.
Kind of. Deep learning is about more than matrix operations, and matrix operations are useful for applications other than deep learning, so I believe the distinction is worth making. Just like with programming languages, which may all be used for the same application, it's all about what you make easy to do, and what you make difficult. I'm saying the TF's intention is to make many things beyond DL easy, although people think of it chiefly as a DL library atm.
When I was at OnSemi, we had multiple calls for mandatory vacation. Paid leave is a liability on the books, so by forcing employees to take it, they could make the numbers look better. The message from management each time was "We know we told you last time that it would never happen again, but..."

Some of the operations that are performed on the tensors in a neural network are non-linear. An example might be taking the tanh of all of the elements of the tensor. For these steps, you won't have invariance (or covariance) under change of basis.

Even in physics, there are applications of tensors which essentially treat tensors as multidimensional arrays (see for example, tensor networks) with no predefined transformation properties. But the operations done on tensors are always linear.

In addition, the fuel cost-per-mile (so I'm ignoring maintenance), is capped at about 30-40x that of an electric as we already know how to directly convert air and water into gasoline or ethanol substitutes at approximately that energy ratio (~10x the chemical energy, plus ~3-4x the thermodynamic efficiency of car versus battery cycle)

IMO if you have to brake on the freeway, someone made an error.

Cool about brake lights; I've wondered for years why they don't do this. I knew about some newer cars flashing the hazard lights in a very hard stop, but didn't know any were doing brake light meters. Any idea which specific models? I'd love if they standardized the messaging across brands and countries; imagine a new mustang where 1 vertical bar on each side means light braking, 2 means moderate, and 3 + rapid flashing means very hard braking. Not sure what standard would make the most sense for this, but the sooner, the better, so new cars can adopt it. It's way less useful / less clear when each car does it differently.
What happened to the year-based naming convention? I thought we switched to ES2015 and ES2016?

Nearly all phishing attempts rely on users mistaking m with rn or not noticing an extra/similar/missing letter. eg Citibank vs Citlbank or Wellsfargo vs Wellsfarrgo.

Hand the signed transaction to that miner instead of broadcasting it to the network. It'll only get mined whenever that miner successfully mines a block.
This could have been useful if it applied to ALL of Stallman's arguments. Like for instance, the ability to swap out JavaScript with your own code, which this can't do.
