Most people who "don't care", do not understand the ramifications. Hence, they "don't care".
Most of the responses to my post have argued against various incorrect interpretations of it, not what I actually said. It's frustrating. Thank you for your reading comprehension.
I don't even know how you think that's related to this topic.
Not only was this a nonsense witch hunt by prosecutors, but it was also a continuation of the war on cash. The government and the police do not like cash, they desperately want an all plastic transaction society, and have been using laws like civil procedure to attack the the cash-based system for many years. If you know nothing of civil forfeiture you owe it to yourself to read up on it. Simply put: If the police find a large amount of cash on you, they can take it, without a warrant, without conviction, and you will have to sue to get it back.
$70K for a Master's is too much (IMO). Surely there are better options!

1.) Go to a less expensive school (http://www.news.gatech.edu/2013/05/14/georgia-tech-announces... for ~$7k, all online) (http://cs.mwsu.edu/ ~$10K/yr. in Texas, did my MS there)

2.) Go for a PhD instead. Just about every good school will pay you a stipend to attend and waive your tuition. You often earn a Master's on the way up, and I have known some people to quit after earning the Masters (although the school will not encourage this).

Yes. Lets compare Tesla with the worst cars on the market in terms of reliability. And then demonstrate that other cars can have problems too.

Or you know, as a smart consumer, I'll be looking at a workhorse car like a Honda Accord, Ford Focus, Toyota Camry, etc. etc. and not have to worry about reliability issues.

Or if I'm actually going to buy on Luxury + reliability: the highly reliable Lexus ES looks like a good pick at half the price of a Tesla.
If I understand the article correctly, the submersible will simply be named "Boaty" though. Possibly because the entire name won't fit on its hull.
Huffman coding is probably one of the more interesting ones, not only because it is so ridiculously useful, but because of the wide taxonomy of implementations. It is quite malleable, able to be morphed and optimized to the particular application: JPEG, PNG, HPACK, Gzip to name a few popular usages and implementations.

What is really enlightening though is implementing a basic one, because it is so simple. The core of it involves popping two graph nodes from a heap and pushing a new one. I did this in school, and was impressed by it, but became far more appreciative when I tried to do the JPEG way. It doesn't even provide a table, just a histogram!

It also acted as the basis for the successor of arithmetic coding, which is pretty much in every modern video codec. Can you imagine a world that is still analog because we couldn't figure out how to transmit digit video or images or audio? Huffman is a key link in the chain between the past and present.
There's much to like about this comment, and I thinking tracking within a school is a good idea that deserves to come back after some time in the wilderness.

That said, I'd quibble with your first sentence. While I'd certainly agree that making educational opportunity depend less on parents' wealth is a very good thing, that wasn't the thrust of my comment. The main point I was raising had to do with how coupling housing and schools makes the housing market inefficient and so collectively costs society. Imagine if what school a child went to was determined by what car his parents drove. People might well go out and mortgage their futures, as described in the article, in order to buy Ferraris so that their children could go to the best schools. And the price of Ferraris would increase in commensurate fashion. But even if a chunk of that cost was paying for the school access they want, they'd also be buying cars they might not necessarily want. It would make much more sense for all concerned if people could buy the thing they wanted directly, perhaps by paying for private school, than to have this proxy good.

I suspect part of the problem is that private schools seem too elitist for many American's democratic tastes, but what exactly is the difference between a private school and a "public" school where the price of admission is the purchase of a multi-million dollar home? As in so many policy areas if we could talk honestly about what we want and what's going on, we could have less convoluted and more straightforward policy arrangements to further our goals.
And how to keep this installation updated and secure?
Let me clarify my point. Let's say you just have an every day simple bone fracture (that didn't pierce your skin, so there's no risk of infection). You're almost certainly going to be fine.

Contrast with getting hooked on opioids and entering a downward cycle of addiction -- the potential outcome there is the very loss of your life, with a higher chance than losing your life from a simple bone fracture. A lot of people die from opiate overdose every year in the United States; it's actually a few thousand more than from being murdered with a gun. http://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/data/overdose.html

The problem with opiate addiction is that a lot of people are introduced to it through benign means, like starting off with a prescription from their doctor, or their friend giving them some for a legitimate pain-related reason. The gateway drug argument for weed is bunkum, but the gateway drug argument for some opioid use sometimes leading to more opioid use is very real, and is borne out with the statistics. The CDC has lots of information you can read. It's the biggest and deadliest drug epidemic in the US right now.
What jdminhbg described is typical. A municipality (city, town, etc.) funds the schools within its boundaries. If there are affluent and poor neighborhoods within a municipality, there will typically be seen disparities in conditions at the schools that serve those respective neighborhoods. This is certainly the case in the town where I live.
They should allow for push notifications. That'd be more secure

At the end of the day though, everyone has to sign their apps with certs that are pretty well validated. So, it really cuts down on funny business like you mention.
Even if they weren't technically drive unit failures, it is clear that a number of Tesla Model S cars have failed in some form. They were forced to be taken back to the shop and "fixed".

The reports are clear: Tesla has excellent consumer service and warranties. Owner satisfaction is EXTREMELY high, despite the issues. So Tesla is doing everything they can to address the issue, and this is commendable.

However, if you actually compare the reliability scores on pure numbers, it is clear that the Tesla Model S has a problem. It may not necessarily be drive unit related, but there is clearly a problem that affects a huge swath of people.
> If the talents of smart people are consistently underutilised, that's a social problem and not just a series of unrelated individual failures.

I agree, but I think the social failure is that we tell people to "do what they love" and "follow their dreams" instead of "do something important" or "do something where you can make a difference".

The things that, say, English majors do are probably as objectively important as the things I do at work, but the field is overcrowded to the point that the value added by each additional entrant to the field is significantly reduced. So it's hard to find work that pays well for English majors (at least if they stay in their field).

Another thing is that "do something you love" misses is that you should find a career that you love. If you love your college experience but hate the jobs available to you afterward, that degree may not be a net positive.

Awk is great at what it does, but I find myself unable to keep it cached in my brain long enough to reuse it. Using awk usually means a google search of how to use it, which defeats quickly working at a term.
Some OSes, like Solaris, have already "fixed" this. However, the uglier thing that needs fixed is the initrd/initramfs. It served a purpose in 2002, but now is almost totally a historical artifact that adds more complication to the boot process. On distros inflicted with it, it makes boot problems even harder to fix because you have a layer-0 filesystem that has its own set of basic tools that are not used, or visible, at any other time. It kinda made sense in 2002, when you had to make sure that your boot partition was in the first 8 gigs of the filesystem, but nowadays, it is just a source of redundancy and errors.
The docs are a little sparse but reading between the lines it's a set of tools for configuring k8s clusters at a higher level of abstraction than gcloud and kubectl. If you've built out automation to deploy k8s services then you know that there is still quite a bit of manual configuration needed to define the clusters, repl controllers, services, ingress, persistent disks, etc. If you wanted to build a PAAS on top of k8s then you'd begin pretty much as these guys have, I think.
Oops, thanks, I should've been clearer.

Simulating and thus predicting performance of new technologies with computers will be the ultimate afterburner towards singularity. Be they quantum or not. Recent progress has been shown in:

- Protein folding [1]
- Neuroscience [2]
- Battery technology [3]

All of these project have in common that they do (or potentially will) scale to contributors around the globe in near-realtime. It will simply save us from expensive real-world experiments. The frontier of computational crowd-science heralds truly exciting times.

PS: Berkeley has been a major force in that and from where many similar projects originated (c.f. BOINC project [4]).

For me sweatshops status is largely about the sort of work/life balance afforded its employees. If your job pays you $400K year, but you work more weekends than not. I'd argue your job is a sweatshop.
On a somewhat related note, a few years ago I was flying to a mobile phone conference in Barcelona. I thought it would be fun to bring my Port-O-Rotary cell phone along (available from Sparkfun Electronics).

I enjoyed hours of fun and merriment going through security with it. Frankfurt in particular was a real bitch, as they called in the bomb squad to dismantle and inspect the phone. After they finally cleared me, one of the guards asked me "What is the purpose of this?" I responded "Because it's fun".

At least security in Newark had a sense of humor about it. They took photos of it for a book of all the weird shit that's gone through security there (I really hope they publish that someday).
The Tyranny of Structurelessness (1972)
In fairness: the patient has typical anxiety and depressive symptoms, focused on a prior medical intervention, with fairly typical manifestations. It's the nature of these sorts of conditions that they have enormous and interesting heterogeneity in particular focuses of obsession for the patients.

It doesn't make his suffering, or the suffering of patients with similar ailments, any less real or traumatizing. Its effects aren't any less tragic. However, fundamentally, there isn't really a great model of care for people who won't or can't believe that their ailment is psychological and requires psychological treatment ("But he didn’t stick with them or the psychologist. He felt like no one was listening to him. His head wasn’t the problem — someone needed to fix his nose!")It doesn't help anyone to keep making up new diagnoses for every manifestation of depression and anxiety, just so people can feel "acknowledged" - and validated in not treating the underlying issue. So many of these emerging conditions ultimately show little response to their supposed underlying mechanisms, and normal responses (for depression and anxiety) to anti-depressants and cognitive behavioral therapy. (" He spent most of his time alone in his bedroom with a humidifier. After doctors treated him with cognitive therapy and an antidepressant, many of his symptoms cleared up.")

Of more interest to me, personally, is the frequency of post-surgical anxiety. I've seen it in enough patients to know that it's not restricted to turbinate reductions, it doesn't always correlate to pre-existing mental health problems, and that it can often resolve when the surgery is "fixed" (e.g., removing lap-bands). This is a general phenomenon that receives little attention, causes a lot of suffering, and would help a lot of patients if we understood it better. Chasing down rabit-holes by pretending the anxiety is something /else/ doesn't help anyone.
I've been working in Medical for a couple of years... it's because Medical is extremely fault tolerant. They put up with a lot of rubbish that wouldn't be accepted in other industries.

This may be theoretically true, but it is not practically the case. There is a reason Linux and OS X users almost never use antivirus software.

Is flow just another handy library for constructing DNN graphs? (like tensorflow) or is it actually a program that is creating DNN graphs intelligently?

I suppose the latter makes a lot of sense, actually. Some of the tweaking and retesting I do to my tf models seems like it could be automated.

It seems like the real challenge of AI isn't so much constructing the models but feeding it training data.
NgConf Summary Day 3. Everything you wanted to know but where afraid to ask
1. You wouldn't be caught upside down in it. Tesla was unable to flip the Model X in testing [1] (I assume the Model S is even harder to flip). The advantages of having an extremely low center of gravity due to the battery pack (coming in at 1323 lbs).

2. Reinforced pillars. Their strength is such that they damaged the device used to test roof failures [2] (I believe the force the roof was subjected to was equivalent to 5 Model S' atop the test vehicle). I'm confident that in the extremely unlikely event the vehicle was upside down, you would walk away from the vehicle, roof intact.

>the Windows Kernel is just as good as any FOSS kernel today in regards to stability.

I disagree strongly, but this is beside the point. Medical hardware should not be using any operating system that's not hard real-time and thoroughly vetted. Ideally they would use no OS at all. Even Linux, which is drastically more appropriate for embedded systems, is a questionable choice for medical equipment.

I would not equate cash and a car one is easily stolen and disseminated.

I know carjacking exists but stealing untraceable cash versus a car is quite a different situation to me.

Speaking of heat, I hear that Tesla's motors and brakes heat up a lot more on a track. To the point where the brakes and engine start throttling the car down a bit after a lap or two.

Which is fine. My personal car of choice apparently overheats its brakes on the Laguna Seca under stock settings (Ford Focus, although the recent "RS" edition looks to have significantly better specs for a track). Its a challenging track. So the Tesla Model S isn't the only car that is unable to sustain high-performance throughout an entire course.

But lets not pretend that the Model S is a real performance car or anything, not until it starts placing somewhere impressive on a track somewhere (Laguna Seca, Nürburgring, or whatever)

--------------

http://jalopnik.com/heres-what-a-tesla-model-s-can-do-around...

> "The lap itself was around 10 minutes Bridge to Gantry (in heavy traffic) but unfortunately the car went into a reduced power mode about 3 minutes in due to excess battery heat (at least, that's my guess)."

So there's probably some heat issue with regards to Tesla Model S on serious test tracks.

All in all, the Tesla isn't a "performance" car, although it "isn't slow" by any stretch of the imagination.
I think what happened is they bought a chrome panda first (probably took a year), and then more recently decided it was worth having some level of cost control, but what do you do then -- sell it? remove it? cover it with a tarp? -- so they put a note on it saying essentially "Never Again."
My experiences with private schools is that they have just as, if not more, stringent attendance policies. The consequence of non-attendance always seems to lead to expulsion.
If you interpret "can't ramp up" as "can't ramp up without extreme cost/risk," one could envision both being a problem. They could go all in and fail to see the demand they were expecting.
Out of curiosity, why are minivans safe?
"Merge says the antivirus froze access to crucial data acquired during the heart catheterization. Unable to access real-time data, the app crashed spectacularly.

The company claims that they included proper instructions in their documentation, advising companies to whitelist Merge Hemo's folders in order to prevent crashes from happening, so it seems that the whole incident was nothing more than an oversight on the medical unit's side."

Here's how I read that: The programmers of this piece of software assumed that some I/O operation would never fail and when it does the program shits itself. So instead of hardening their software to withstand loss of telemetry gracefully, which would cost time and money for the company, they just give instructions to disable scans on their folder.

Odds are good that somewhere this scan will happen (and it did). Either IT doesn't read the release notes or goofs the configuration or an antivirus update clears the white list. Might not even be the antivirus that interferes with the telemetry briefly.

But instead of having resilient software it's "the anitvirus software's fault" or "it's IT's fault" when something goes wrong because of their bad management/engineering decision.
