So I am to strive to become a "very valuable asset for any company" ... I guess dehumanization is bad only when it is done by noncorporation people.

Also - can we stop with teaching to code already. Assume instead of literacy and writing in schools we thought people how to flip pages on books with green covers. Or we were teaching people how to multiply only by 8.

Without the broader body of IT literacy, coding is not that useful skill. Except for future corporate drones working on waterfall.

We need to give people basic IT literacy - the critical mass of knowledge that allows them to obtain more and diverse knowledge on their own - so when faced with a problem to know how to formulate a question and where to look for solution.
We can measure what happens when e.g. sentencing guidelines for some particular crime change to favour prison over community service or vice versa.
This is something that looks very interesting. I wonder if this would ever come to the UK. I know France is just across the channel but there surely is massive demand for this in the UK as well.
Promises and callbacks are equivalent, it should be pretty trivial to convert all libraries of one style to the other just by wrapping calls to it in a utility function of some sort (and there are probably existing libraries to do exactly that).

The only excuse for mixed-style codebases is a codebase in the process of being converted from one style to the other.
Or in other words, something that only people with good enough lawyers could use.
The statistical model is a Bernoulli distribution where the expected value p is parameterized by the logistic sigmoid function applied to a linear model of the input variables.

The choice of the use of the sigmoid function does not stem from applying MLE to the model: instead it is an priori and arbitrary modeling decision that has been done even before starting to think about the estimation of the parameters of the model.

The intuitive justification with respect to the choice of this link function given in this blog post seems quite standard to me. This text-book chapter gives a similar intuition: http://www.stat.cmu.edu/~cshalizi/uADA/12/lectures/ch12.pdf (section 12.2).

Also in practice we don't use pure MLE but l2-penalized (or l1-penalized) MLE to fit a logistic regression model as otherwise it might be very sensitive to noisy data if the number of features very large (compared to the number of training samples).

Sure but you need to know that you will pay for this abstraction with some performance penalty (depends what your expectations are). Another thing is this workaround is still more complex because you need to create generator function and then you need to write reentry points, you don't need in Go. Anyway this is for sure good solution for Node but in context of comparing Go is still in my opinion easier to reason about.

But they can't sell anymore! Supply currently exceeding demand. If they put 1 million more barrels of oil a day on the public market, prices go down by Y, making the net gain of that 1 million barrels low (maybe negative, but if not at least close).

So if market has demand for you to sell 10 million barrels of oil a day, but you have capacity to pump 20 million... you found a way to basically have "free" energy by burning some oil.

Yes it shortens the length of your oil reserve and yes it kills the environment, but in the short term it is the best option. Most people/countries make decisions in the short term. So to me it is very logical that the middle east burns oil for electricity, nowhere near a "duh why not use solar" moment.

You might need to be amazed at the savings at scale. The land area covered by a few city blocks of road compared to a driveway is pretty large. The $1.5M is likely a pretty good buy.

Napkin calc: assuming a driveway that's 20 feet wide and 30 feet long, the area will be 600 feet^2. The typical residential road's going to be something like 30 feet wide (enough for a parked car and two opposing lanes with comfort) and a guess at a block being like 1/20 of a mile, or 250 feet; that gives each city block of road about 7500 feet^2. So guessing conservatively, about one city block is probably at least 10 times larger than the driveway.

And that's before the actual road complexity. A city road also likely has to account for sewage, powerlines, telecom cables, drainage, etc. There's also a trade-off in road design: your friend likely never wants to build his driveway again, so he'll want something permanent like cement. But the city may want to make different trade-off; blacktop can be more easily maintained and expanded and upgraded than pavement, but also costs more in the long run (but pavement is more expensive up front).
With regard to phone records, the relevant precedent was set almost 40 years ago in Smith v. Maryland, which held that the government can subpoena phone records without a warrant. And that case was correctly decided for two different reasons:

1) The "expectation of privacy" must be objectively reasonable. It's objectively true that phone call records are not private: they are kept by the phone company in the ordinary course of business and many people have access to them. As a purely factual matter, a lot more people (people who, unlike the 7-11 clerk, you've never even met!) have access to your data at a phone company than at a 7-11. So any subjective belief that those details are private is not objectively reasonable.

2) Callers have no ownership or control over call records. Even if you don't subscribe to the "property rights" view of the 4th amendment, you have to admit that it's less reasonable to have an expectation of privacy in something someone else owns and controls. It's not reasonable to expect privacy as to a 7-11's recordings of what you do on its premises because they own the recordings and control the premises. Similarly, it's not reasonable to expect privacy as to AT&T's records of what you do on its telephone network.

Why?

If a site chooses to have a flash experience, why inhibit that? Google is bullying an already narrowed market.

There are experience that Flash simply handles better, and HTML5 cannot emulate. Animated experiences are at the top of that list.

The correct user experience would be seamless for both the user and the content producer. This UX is essentially warning the user that they are entering unwanted territory, and using fear to narrow the flash market.
You can use Kraken.io's image optimization/recompression/resizing API [0] to push your images directly to one of the popular cloud/object stores (S3, Rackspace CloudFiles, Microsoft Azure and SoftLayer Object Storage are supported at the time of writing). That should afford you some flexibility over which CDN you choose, since you are now separating the processing aspect from the distribution to some extent.

I always though it was a reference for covering the ground around strawberry plants with dry straws. Strawberries especially go bad if the berries touch moist ground, gathering mold or fungus, and you'll also want to avoid weeds, so a thick layer of dried straws work perfectly for farming strawberries.

The benefits for the infrastructure accrue to citizens in the future, so its sensible to borrow money (at the very low rates that the government can obtain) and pay for the benefits as they are enjoyed. If the additional cost of the interest makes the project not worthwhile, then this means the project shouldn't be undertaken, not that it should be paid for upfront.

While they allow limiting the rightsward drift of code, explicit promises are still event emitters and still require a significant amount of callbacks if you don't have generators or async functions.
Pointer Overflow Checking
The function call is not being optimized out, it's being hoisted outside the loop. I.e., it is as if the code was written as:

let result = flatuseStruct(outputData)
for _ in 0..<iterations {
assert(result == 8644311667)
total = total + UInt64(result)
}

The counter will still be correct, but you are not measuring what you think you are measuring.

You absolutely cannot easily reproduce a proper Flash experience in JavaScript, or Canvas.

This is a problem we've been working on for years building animated experiences for kids, and the js "equivalent" is heavy on assets and extremely limits what the artist and developer can produce in the same amount of time.

Firefox also sends enormous amounts of metadata about your browsing to the cloud and it's very difficult for non-savvy users to turn this off. They call it telemetry and 'safe browsing', but users overlook that every URL is checked against a database of URLs already in Google's 'safe browsing' repository. Firefox is not actually private and their business model can't allow for privacy, because they're in bed with Google.

Use something like Palemoon and configure about:config a bit more and you should be fine. But be very skeptical of Mozilla claiming FF is some privacy enhancing tool. Their plugins ecosystem is also a security nightmare...

My apologies for not being clear, I was wondering if there was something closer toward the Randall Monroe [edit] "thing explainer" end of the spectrum. The reason I was wondering is because machine learning is becoming something that people incorporate into a project as a library. The analogy I would draw is to something like TCP/IP where there are abstractions over routing and congestion control and where routing and congestion control are abstractions over the mathematics of scheduling and graph theory.

Maybe a better analogy might be cryptography where practical implications of entropy pool design are relatively esoteric despite the vastly less accessible mathematical nature of reliable one way encryption algorithms.

> Either we're totally in control of ourselves, or we have no control at all.

Maybe I missed it, but it seems the author of the article makes no distinction between natural and moral inability. Jonathan Edwards, in his work Freedom of the Will, puts forth the idea that a man chained to a chair is not morally unable to get up from the chair, but he is naturally unable.

The author mentions that a day laborer with no belief in free will are perhaps more likely to show up to work late. I don't necessarily doubt that's true, but they still bear moral responsibility. Unless he broke his leg on the way to work or something like that, there is no natural inability to be on time.

In the same vein, if an otherwise gentle and courteous person develops a brain condition that causes anger violent behavior, that is owing to a natural inability, not a moral one.

> The term "free will" is simply wrong. And it's not like "sunrise," which is likewise wrong but for everyday purposes the error is harmless.

I agree with you. Again, Edwards would state that our will is determined by our mind. We will to do whatever our mind finds most desirable at any given moment. The laborer who is consistently late to work desires an extra few moments on his couch at home more than the virtue of fulfilling his commitment to his boss. But in the absence of any natural inability, he bears moral responsibility for that choice.

You mentioned Paul's letter to the Romans. Paul is assuming a natural inability to do the right thing, which it seems to me he also assumes to be a moral inability. I suppose the question to be answered here is whether the desires of our mind are captive to natural forces, such as cause and effect, or whether have complete agency over our minds. Or both.
OpenSSH in normal configurations will respond to all requests with an open socket regardless of whether that request is signed or not. Worst case scenario like OpenSSH Unprivileged Remote Code Execution, or Heartbleed style attack.

OpenSSH behind VPN technology like IPsec or OpenVPN (with TLS auth) means that only authorised (in possession of valid signing key) clients see the open socket.

OpenSSH does have "SSH certificates", but using VPN technology allows you to secure multiple internal services including those that don't support any encryption natively.

> When was the last time an entire category of jobs became obsolete fast enough that laid off employees blamed the technology?

Containerized shipping. Interestingly, it's in the world of logistics too. Longshoremen/dockworkers/stevedores used to be among the most common occupations in the US at the turn of the century, but now the industry employs a tiny fraction. A small group of a few hundred people can effectively run an enormous port like Oakland's.

Yes, the employees blamed the technology, but so did local governments. Places like Baltimore relied pretty heavily on the docks to supply their population with jobs; when those disappeared quickly many cities (especially on the eastern US coast) had a really tough time economically.
