SVM doesn't give CI either. In fact, it doesn't even give probability estimates per sample unless using Platt's technique whose probabilities don't always agree with the classifier's outputs.

What I mean is a confidence interval on probabilities. That is, if you did the training on 100 different training sets that follow the same distribution as your training set, they would have a range of outputs for a particular sample. The 95th highest and 5th lowest would have specific values. These values can be estimated and are the bounds of the CI.

For example, for logistic regression, you can estimate standard error per coefficient like so: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinary_least_squares#Finite_...
That would give you a vector of standard errors the size of your variable(feature) set. Then you can use that to estimate overall range of CI per sample.

This would be useful in the example provided in OP's link. For example, let's say that the classifier says there is 86% probability that the license plate is RBX735.

Can we really trust this 86% probability or is the model primarily relying on some information that is available in only 2 samples out of 1000 that might have been outliers?

Point being, Facebook's audience is majority international and it most of all wants to make money. If you occam's razor this, Facebook is simply presenting people with what they want to hear (a well-proven phenomenon[1]). The report has shown nothing to prove that there is some sort of committee that decides which political stances facebook is going to shove down people's throats, but we know it has MULTIPLE groups trying to increase engagement. The international community believes that the American right is nuts, voila, Facebook selectively presents this as the dominant news. Click, click, click...PROFIT.

Go (which I think you're alluding to) has language-level concurrency because its syntax is extremely rigid. Swift's syntax is flexible enough that this isn't needed.

Specifically:

* Support for annotations; the compiler/runtime can be informed about safety and marshaling concerns.
* Anonymous function bodies. You can implement Go's "go func() { ... }()" pattern yourself, and a concurrency runtime can implement it. Rust uses the exact same pattern.
* Generic iterators/streams. No need for channels as language primitive since you can write a generic channel implementation.

Go is nice, but its language-level concurrency is very much a side-effect of its intentionally impoverished type system. For example, the built-in "chan" type exists because otherwise a generic channel implementation would have to use interface{}, which is not type-safe and would be hell to work with.

Here's what's lining up to become Swift 4.0's concurrency support (all the concurrency models!): https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/master/docs/proposals/Co....
That was the experience that moved me from an iPhone to android several years ago - not only that I had to wipe my phone to sync, but that

* I couldn't back up what was on the phone (without first wiping the phone)
* that iTunes wouldn't let me re-download any music I had bought (this was pre-iCloud)
* this was the second time it happened to me - the first time was with an iPod pretty early in their existence, so I was willing to accept incomplete options. (I'm rough on laptops, which is what I had been syncing to)

Seeing that they had no interest in improving this situation after years of being aware of it, I bailed. I'm told that Apple is now better about repeat downloads from their store and have stopped considering the PC as the source of truth for the device but they still are terrible for families with multiple accounts but not one Mac/PC per user.

Frankly, I'm glad Apple is out there pushing boundaries, but I've not missed anything from my iPhone. (my Macbook remains a great Unix-ey device)
Golden rule of owning your own (purchased or created) content: only use 3rd party content organization applications. I don't use iTunes for my music. I don't buy things from amazon for my kindle.

Regarding UX: iTunes is proof that bad UX doesn't matter as much as "location". Users somehow figure out how to use apps if they matter enough to them.
That's simply not how discourse works on a national scale. There are many things that can be given a platform but aren't because it'd be a waste of time. No one is afraid to give these things a platform, it's just pointless. Artificial platforming for the sake of having every imaginable view point with or without merit on the table would be a disaster.

No one is stopping people from having these opinions, speaking about them, or teaching those perspectives. Claiming that this is a cause of freedom of information and somehow making this analogous to Galileo (it's not, not even in the slightest) is absurdly silly.

If you are looking to defend rational discourse and freedom of thought, well, you're not doing that -- leveling out everything on a no-questions-asked baseline is ignorant and becomes borderline satire of unbiased rational thought at that point.
I still have a music collection, and am quite happy with it. That's true because I had the sense not to let iTunes within 100 yards of the thing.

That is not satisfactory. Some instances of software are more crucial than others eg. software running money transfers must have less tolerance for bugs than a game I play on my phone. The question is not whether software works most of the time, but how badly things go wrong when mistakes happen.

Here's an analogy: A weather forecaster can predict "no hurricane" every single day and have a near-perfect success rate. Needless to say, that's next to useless. (False positives and false negatives have wildly different costs in this context.)

My experience is that iTunes can't handle anything but perfectly neat metadata about album versions of songs. Every time I've fed it live music, or alternate takes, or anything else weird, it's choked so badly that I ended up wishing for no organization.

Socialization is perfectly adequate as a basis for everything you've talked about, though. Otherwise, you couldn't trust your dog not to kill and eat your family the moment your back is turned.

> The investors will get a very healthy return.

From the company's wiki page:

> In July 2013, Zenefits announced the completion of a seed round led by Venrock and Maverick Capital, with investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Yuri Milner, General Catalyst Partners, Garry Tan, Justin Kan and Alexis Ohanian. The round also included angel investments from Box co-founder and CEO Aaron Levie, Quora co-founder Charlie Cheever, former Googler and Twitter VP of Corporate Strategy Elad Gil, Weebly co-founder David Rusenko, former Googler and Badoo COO Ben Ling, Google’s Head of Spam Slamming Matt Cutts, BuildZoom co-founder and CEO David Petersen, and Inkling co-founder and CEO, Matt MacInnis. (...) Including the company's initial US$372,000 raised from Y Combinator,

Sad to see people like Alexis Ohanian and Matt Cutts in there, people that I personally respect. It's also interesting that Y Combinator and their founders haven't said anything of interest regarding this whole mess since it started, or maybe they're all waiting for it to calm down and for business to proceed as usual.
The derby has 20 horses in the competition. Winning the superfecta requires picking the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th places in correct order.

The possible ways to choose that ordering are 20 * 19 * 18 * 17 or 116,280 combinations. So, a 1 in 116,280 chance of winning (which is why it pays about 11,000x -- bookies get to keep the rest!). If this crowd-sourced horse pickin' works twice that would be about 1 in 13.521 billion odds. So, if it can do it twice there might be something to it. Doing it once isn't really that big of odds. If the favorite gets upset (Nyquist this time) then the crowdsource probably loses. Not sure how often that happens, but it probably isn't particularly rare.

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/conservatism

: belief in the value of established and traditional practices in politics and society

: dislike of change or new ideas in a particular area

where is education - is learning of new by the ones being educated, and science is a discovery of new knowledge. Thus conservatism and education/science by definition can't occupy the same volume. Conservatism is compatible with only that education and knowledge which accidentally happen to confirm the established and traditional practices and beliefs which are already in place. ( in other words - they sometimes may agree on value, yet always differ on derivative, thus it is 2 completely different mental models)

This question is a bit troll-like, but how did the law-stretching/break of AirBnB and Uber not have the huge negatives consequences for them as it did for Zenefits.

One can make the argument that AirBnB has tried to finesse things more than Uber, but in any case I do think Zenefits/Uber/AirBnB would make a good B-School regulatory case study.

I dislike iTunes as well as the built in music player on my iPhone just due the bad UI and some difficulty downloading songs to my phone. I also use it with iTunes match for all my music and I listen many hours a day and do curate my collection with it.

It's not perfect, but it's not exactly clubbing baby seals. It's always respected my metadata changes even when things start out wrong. I think I got boned a few times when match mixed up explicit/non-explicit versions, but that is it.

I still very much enjoy collecting music and I don't think iTunes is getting in the way of that. I really have to wonder what the author did to delete their entire collection in iTunes? That isn't a thing that is supposed to happen easily on desktop. The stuff I have synced with iTunes match is even harder to delete and there is warning when you try to delete the cloud copy.

On phones yeah it's just a brain dead disaster with multiple ways to have it wipe.

Absolutely, I think (B) is quite a big concern for people. While it's nice to have a fuzzy AI match things _most_ of the time, it's absolutely critical the user can always go in and override and take control of the situation.

So for us, we very clearly distinguish "a user labelled this item" vs "we guessed it was this label".

To be a bit pedantic, all .yml files can be encrypted with ansible-vault, so also playbooks and roles.

There are two things currently that bother me about ansible-vault. The first is that the 'edit' command write a completely new file even if I didn't change anything. And the second is that the diffs in git become useless. I'd love to have a special diff driver for ansible-vault encrypted files that decrypts before diffing when the secret is available.

I dunno. Reading this I can't help but feel like maybe the author is doing it wrong? I'm going to be charitable and admit that Apple has made iTunes incredibly difficult to use effectively, especially since the store is awful and they really, really push the iTunes store on you. That the interface is so slow and inconsistent doesn't help either.

My advice to anyone who has any desire to use iTunes is: acquire your music from elsewhere as actual mp3 files, tag them using something like Mp3tag[0] and then drag and drop them into iTunes. Make sure you check the "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" options in the advanced settings. The only control you're really giving up then is the exact naming scheme of the files in the folder. But "<library directory>/Artist Name/Album Name/01 Song Title.mp3" is a pretty sane convention in my opinion. I have close to 18,000 albums in my iTunes library that I've added this way over the last decade and a half. It works pretty well and I have no problem reasoning about what music I have.

I totally agree with his complaints about Apple Music though, it's pretty inscrutable. But I wrote my own music streaming server with Sinatra and iOS app to go with it so I always have access to whatever is stored on my hard drive at home in a way that makes sense to me. If I'm not at home that's what I'd rather do, no syncing or anything weird.

I'm using PureScript because it is purely functional and has a powerful type system like Haskell, but compiles to JS with easy FFI and I can use it with webpack. I'm writing both a backend API server and frontend app with it. It's been amazingly productive and a godsend for writing type-safe JS.

> When someone is out - just delete his public key, reencrypt the files, and he won’t be able to decrypt secrets anymore.

Traditional "Wisdom of crowds" are polls that take averages, which end up being fairly impressive. Swarms are real-time dynamics systems that converge on local maxima.

Swarms blow away traditional methods because they foster a real-time emergent intelligence, while polls just take a snap shot of group opinion. They're very different.

I'd love to see more of a breakdown of the makeup of cryptics: what percentage of the answers involve anagrams, reversals, homonyms and so on? And how many clues encode the answer in pieces? Seems like a lot of puzzles use a composite of clues like that, with anagrams coming in second. Homonyms and reversals seem pretty rare. The "& lit" type clue is almost never present.

But I wonder: are there regional differences? Have certain types of clues fallen out of favor over time? Can I follow puzzlemakers that shoot for more variety?

Every hardware platform has unique abilities and constraints. The code that provides the "business logic" part of the device is often one-off and domain- or application-specific. Even if you're running on some general purpose platform, that part of the code is going to be about as battle-tested as anything running on some new architecture - not much.

Edit:

Someone alse pointed this out but it's worth reiterating - hardware systems are simulated extensively and analyzed in various ways for performance, cost, reliability and other factors. Software less so, and test cases, if they exist, might not necessarily capture all the power loss/inconsistent state problems that can occur in the real world. Maybe in the future embedded applications could be analysed with a fuzzer or something to help weed out that kind of once-in-the-field-never-in-the-lab bug.
