FF on android is a great browser. Much better than anything else - yet has like 1% marketshare. Go figure.

FF on the desktop is an average browser. Chrome and Edge are slightly better.

The "magic" about the strings in ASP.NET MVC is that the name of certain strings define which method gets called further down the line. That's exactly what dynamically typed languages do. Typos are caught at runtime, not at compile time, and possibly with cryptic errors if you're unlucky. The GP is used to C#, where (except if you use MVC), typos are immediately highlighted by the editor.

Your definition of "magic" is much stronger than that, so by accident of not entirely understanding the GP's complaint, you think we're moving goalposts.

It just uses data layout. Normal volumes have some wasted space filled with random data. Volumes with hidden volumes inside them fill that space with a second header. If the outer volume is naively mounted, writes can destroy the data stored in the inner volume.

I was going to chime in about neural nets too, since I thought that was what the article was going to mention instead of just defining it for logistic regression.
It is used because it is continuous and differentiable as you say, and it keeps the bounds neat between 0 and 1, although most modern deep neural nets use an ReLU, or rectifier function of some sort. The softplus is an ReLU, that has the nice property of its derivative being the sigmoid function.

Invalidating someones argument/opinion based on race/sex, is racist/sexist.

Your argument also assumes "bad faith" based on race/sex, which is also racist/sexist.
> This is surprising mostly because Thiel is a libertarian.

Its not that surprising. While there is a lot of genuine libertarianism, there are also plenty of what superficially seem to be libertarians that don't really oppose authoritarian government, they only oppose the way they perceive their present government using authority, and would be quite happy with an authoritarian government that also shared their policy preferences.

Right-libertarians that turn out to really be right-authoritarians that just don't want a government left of their own position to exercise authority are common enough that I'm not surprised when another one pops up.

I think that educational technology is still at a point of "throw it at the wall and see if it sticks". I also think a lot of technology is being deployed without adequate professional development for teachers.

They have the technology, but haven't been gotten the proper level of training nor had the proper resources to develop effective curriculum using technology.

Thus far, effective programs always seem to have a "rock star" teacher/instructor at the center, going the many extra miles needed to establish gravitas.

Never ever buy 3rd party from Amazon.

Maybe if they have tens of thousands of perfect ratings and it is fulfilled by Amazon, worth the risk for non-mechanical stuff.

But even then, there is tons of counterfeit stuff on Amazon and eBay now - if it is a brand name and the price is too good, it is fake. Even if the price is okay it still might be fake.

China is getting amazing at making fakes. Even medication for humans and pets.

I don't see how the second half of this statement follows the first. There's a big difference between "can" and "will". The Echo doesn't do this. You could make this statement about anything. With a forced OTA update, your phone could become nothing but an advertisement tomorrow morning. That new intern your company hired?

I just learned of this case. I would say he didn't have his domain name taken away, but voluntarily gave it up when he chose to settle (for an X-box...). I've always found it a disappointing aspect of lawsuits that they end up in settlements so often, this would have formed an interesting precedent since he might have had good chances of winning the case (real name, no intention of deception). Shouldn't there be some kind of rule that prevents lawsuits from being settled when it's in the public interest or in the interest of justice?

What a dismissive, unsympathetic response.

His computer was temporarily seized & searched without his consent, under immediate threat of force with a weapon. He was prevented from even voicing concern or asking questions through threat of violence, and forced to comply with actions that were not backed by a probable cause or even a reasonable suspicion of a crime having been committed.

In the US, there are laws against this. What happened there was illegal, with or without an arrest or charges or jail time.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Amendment_to_the_United...

And he was presumed guilty until the search was completed, that sounds like 'guilty until proven innocent' to me.

Innocent until proven guilty doesn't mean only if it takes longer than 5 minutes to prove. It means you start with the presumption of innocence.

I kind of agree with both of your points regarding python. It is easy to set up for technologically literate people. But just using a web browser is orders of magnitude simpler for the majority. But really they're two different beasts and I don't think it's fair to compare python with a web browser in terms of "ease of set up".
That example... is a shocking display of spine. I've really never seen that before. I guess there are exceptions, or at least one exception.

Meanwhile, lots of places are having trouble because they caved to the unions. A couple more notable ones are California and Detroit.

Note that voters are free to take the side of the employees, either by sympathy (dumb) or to get better-qualified employees. Instead of demanding that unions be legal, simply demand that the state provide good pay. (not that you get a direct say in either, but you can lobby and otherwise make it a campaign issue)
So my math is probably messed up here but:

- Price of buying a drive and a pod to house it: ~$0.036/GB [0]

- 1.84% of drives need replacing each year (warranty aside)

- They use 17:3 parity for redundancy (15% of storage)

So the hardware price of a GB should be something like $0.036 * (1/0.85) * 1.0184^(years). For 10 years, the hardware would cost $0.05/GB, or $0.0004/GB/month.

Power costs and DC space of course need to be taken into account but I still find it interesting that the hardware itself costs only ~10% of what they charge for B2.

Independent voters are a very different thing than moderates, though; and, various studies have shown that they are as consistent in their major party voting behavior as major party voters. Often, rather than moderates, they are either people that, in addition to their preferences on the axis dividing the major parties, have strong preferences that don't fall on that axis and thus feel insufficiently represented by the nearest major party, or people who have positions that fall on roughly the same axis that divides the major parties, but are at a more extreme position on that axis than the nearer major party.

Elections are one more turnout among the people usually inclined to vote for your party (whether members of independents) than by "swinging" votes that might go either way.

It's not personal, and it's not about breaking the little guys. Disabling Flash to push the web towards standardized protocols and formats is going to painful for all the browsers, and like many other changes, the biggest blocker is that one of the major vendors has to go first. Expect to see the same move from all vendors that still support flash (except for those that don't believe that flash is the devil).

The Chrome team has to support the majority of their users or they risk alienating their user base, and there is a hard core browser war on out there :) They came up with a reasonable way to decide the "winners and losers", and aim to snip the long tail off. It also puts the supported sites on notice that they need to migrate functionality.
These are sadly quite plausible titles.

Good point, however, Facebook doesn't really contain private moments/thoughts, which is what a bunch of hidden cameras would capture. Facebook allows you to write your story and omit details you choose. Also, younger people have flocked to more ephemeral forms of communication (or so I've heard, I don't claim to back that up with numbers).

All the same, I think you make a good point.
It's also getting so old that most of this stuff is really out of date anyway. I doubt most of it could do any harm to their OPSEC, unless they held back some noteworthy stuff. My guess is it's mostly just political fuel rather than technical insight, such as the CIA interrogations.

Most of these will just be for historical perspective soon. It's not like there is going to be any punishment for the participants of the potential wrong-doing. So it's always just served as a journalistic window into the operations and not serving some higher legal matter.

Defying court demands should always be an option - such actions can be a crime, and it can be adequately punished, but it certainly is an option that can happen, and if a person does defy court demands, then consequences should require the following:

1) There is a proper verdict that the person has actually defied the court (as opposed to forgotten the password or the encrypted data not being his in the first place) - this has not happened in this situation, we have only claims by the prosecution not verified by the court;

2) the guilty person receives an appropriate punishment for this crime - and indefinite imprisonment (e.g. life sentence if the person doesn't yield) is not valid even if the person is guilty of everything claimed.

Yes, in academia its pretty easy to find non-profits or government programs that sponsor exclusively certain groups based on age, sex, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation... pretty much any "protected class" that would get you in trouble if you were an employer.

Even then, how do you know that it didn't come off a rejects pallet originally shipped overseas b/c the items were deemed "not fit" for sale in the US, then reshipped back in bulk to a private reseller?

I am saying that the author is using Sentinelese interchangeably with Jarawa/Andaman incorrectly.

The only reference I can find for such contact is a blog post and a 1993 news article that appears anecdotal.

Bottom line with universities is that an army of various administrators will all make six figures for doing stuff that perhaps anyone could do, but "can't" because having experience in the cryptic and domain specific bureaucracy of higher ed is mandatory.

Meanwhile, they'll try to pay all their developers and IT staff sub $50k yearly only to conclude that poor results and inability to fill positions mean they should have everything sent to Drupal subcontractors. Particularly since nobody's interested in the Peoplesoft/Oracle positions they happen to pay much more for, either.
What? "Innocent until proven guilty" does not mean that police aren't allowed to perform investigations. That's a ridiculous misuse of the phrase.

How Trump’s troll army is cashing in on his campaign on Facebook
A look inside the closed-door DMCA meetings
IIRC under babel-watch it required me to include babel-polyfill at the top of my main script, but under babel-node it prevented me from including babel-polyfill at the top of my main script. (babel-polyfill has a check so that it can only be required once, and errors out otherwise.) That meant I needed to keep commenting/uncommenting that line when I wanted to debug things.

There were also cases where I wasn't sure if babel-watch was reloading dependencies properly if I used async code in a file, which is why I had to keep switching to babel-node or running the code through babel and inspecting the generated code to debug. Overall, it just felt very new and unpolished (which I guess it was...I was working with it around March, so babel-watch was < 1 month old and babel async/await was about 2-3 months at the time) to be relying on all the time.
Right, and I am arguing that these are incorrectly labeled because there's no authentic source showing such contact, so something has been lost in translation wherein Andaman Islanders are being called Sentinelese.
