I can't be the only person here who's never uploaded a photo of themselves to social media, or frankly anywhere else. People always seem to be so shocked when an antisocial teenager doxxes them, but there is a reason that happened. For years I just shrugged when people called me paranoid about sharing pictures, and now, not so much.

The problem is, I can only speak for photos I took, and that I uploaded. That's what I can reasonably control, and beyond that, I'm not going to smack a camera out of a friend's hand on a vacation. If that happens, it happens.

The other issue is that with the UK leading the way in CCTV usage, it's possible (although not necessarily inevitable) that our own social media usage will not be the major factor in the near future. At that point, I suppose it's either adapt as a society, or attack the infrastructure.
Except that in some places (like some US states), wearing a mask in public is a felony.
You know exactly what I mean. Arguing for the idea of "brain sex" is essentialist and ridiculous. There's nothing that makes my wife or the average woman a less capable programmer than anyone else in the field other than a consistent problem with socialization.

Exactly. Sadly, as an individual, I don't have access to such dataset.

Real-life adblock would IMO be the killer feature for AR :). Though much harder to implement than its web counterpart.
The reason women dominate in certain fields is that those fields were generally seen as less important, so women were pushed into them. E.g., doctors were men, women were nurses, and there was an enormous pay and prestige difference between the two. (Hint: it did not favor the nurses.)

If you're interested in learning more, researching "pink ghetto" will get you started.
The job of the immune system is to distinguish self from non-self and to seek and destroy any non-self that it discovers. If you want to get the immune system to fight something, you need to get it to recognize that something as non-self, preferably without also forcing it to recognize your own healthy cells as non-self (because then you'd have autoimmune disease). Cancer is an especially difficult case for the immune system because for the most part, cancer cells are your own cells with just a few mutations[1]. The vast majority of proteins produced by cancer cells are the same proteins that your healthy cells produce. They may be produced in different proportions, regulated differently, etc., but they are the same proteins. Even the proteins that mutated could have only a single amino acid change relative to the original. So the difference between healthy cells and cancer cells at a molecular level is much more subtle than the difference between your cells and bacterial cells, for example. It's not impossible for your immune system to identify cancer cells, but it's obviously not guaranteed either. (There's a nigh-untestable theory that a majority of cancers are actually detected and destroyed by the immune system long before they become symptomatic, so the ones we see are just the ones that managed to evade the immune system in their early stages.)

As I've mentioned above, this paper skips the hard part of finding a suitable protein target by picking two proof-of-concept cancer models for which a suitable "non-self" target is already known.

[1] Actually many mutations, but few that affect protein sequences, which are what T-cells mainly look at.

gets can be fixed by specifying some constant like GETS_MAX in some header file such as <limits.h>, along with the promise that gets doesn't write any more than GETS_MAX characters, including the null terminator, to its target buffer, and that the null terminator is always included. Then programs can just include the header and declare arrays of at least that size if they pass them to gets. Presto; no overflow.

I heard this idea was toyed with by the ISO C committee. Evidently, D. Gwyn proposed BUFSIZ to be re-used for this purpose.
I'm not in San Francisco, not in California, not part of the startup scene, and I'm white, but yet I am proud to be part of that "bubble". But I agree with untog, it's the civilized world bubble. It's the white nationalists that are part of a (shrinking) bubble.

go run main.go

Although this would be ill-advised, kind of like PHP in general..
I don't use SnapChat, but once you have children, your parents and siblings are interested in seeing the funny little day to day things your kids do. 5 seconds here and there of eating breakfast, getting dressed for the day, running around, etc. Twitter and Instagram don't really cover that use case well at all.

I use private photos/videos on Instagram to share those things with my family, but it's very clunky and would feel like spamming to send more than 2-3 curated photos per day. I gather that with SnapChat there is far less curation.
I can't since I'm not.
That data set is going to have to be networked to tons of devices all over the place, it's going to be hacked, intercepted, and generally compromised, just like everything else.
Well it's related to Teamviewer for sure, because it shows up in the people's Teamviewer connection logs. Yeah it could be other malware that is stealing the Teamviewer credentials from their computer. But that seems like more work than necessary, because only a few percent of people have teamviewer installed and running, and they could attack everyone by having them malware install their own remote access service.

I think the intuitive concept of free will is more like "able to take meaningful actions" -- which means choices that express intent or desire. Sometimes your intent is to be unpredictable, to fool the algorithm. But sometimes your intent is to be consistent.

Congratulations. An unreasonable person that you wouldn't like anyway has self-selected themselves out of your dating pool. I'd personally call it a win.

Outrage is mostly a sign of immature character. People get away with it today because it's not easy to call them out on their hypocrisy.
Im suprised that nobody has mentioned golang, which is generaly described as the successor to "c".
You're reading constraints into the experiment that don't appear to exist. My take is that after 15 minutes of driving the algorithm could correctly identify which driver was behind the wheel. That means: I get in, start driving, and within 15 minutes or so, the system analyzing the car's internal network will, with 90% specificity, say, "The driver was 'rosser."

I don't see where you're coming up with only 15 minutes total driving. That isn't implied anywhere in The Fine Article. But even leaving that detail aside, it would actually be more impressive than the reported finding if they were correctly identifying people that well after only 15 minutes total!

That they don't consider 300 million other people (themselves quite likely included) doing the same thing before passing a moral judgement only show how immature they are. You're better off without that person.
Twitter presumably sees value in people having conversations, and doesn't see value in thousands of racists sending millions of death threats.

It may be that mobile graphics gets by fine with FP32 or less, but I worry that if FP64 gets sidelined then none of the effort going into this hardware today will benefit applications that need real precision like science, weather prediction, GPS, etc.
Talk about doing things the hard way. With 15 people, I'd bet you could determine the driver simply by the weight sensor in the driver's seat. No need to do any actual driving. You could probably make some progress with radio station settings (volume/channel etc) or even how they adjust the seats/mirrors.

Yeah, it's funny how people think they can work around facial recognition and yay, they've beaten the system. Facial recognition is not "special". Anything that makes you distinct from other people can be used to recognize you, pretty much by definition. Which feature is being used in practice is mostly a matter of cost-effectiveness.

Snapchat = catch up on friends & families days, one-to-one connection

It's OK that they each have their purpose, and I wish both services's stated goals would embrace that. And maybe I use those services different than other people, but I just think it's strange that two wildly different services are competing for the same eyeballs in the same verticals. Obviously the shareholders disagree with me.
It's the same number of bits either way, so the relevant info is were the images are stored and what the bottleneck is in accessing them. If they're all on a single disk drive, for example, it would probably make no difference if you did it in parallel or serial.

I don't like how you have to click and watch each person's thing individually. Twitter just puts everything in one timeline. Twitter also features text more heavily which I prefer.

No. An email like that would be regarding a single box giving hardware warnings, like a stick of RAM sending out more ECC correction alerts than their threshold for acting. It wouldn't be because of activities much higher than that.
How to Build Your Own Deep Learning Box
It's cool in VR goggles, but logo-detection has been a thing in the film/tv industry for a long time. For instance, up until a couple years ago US shows had to edit out corporate logos when broadcast into the UK due to advertising rules.
I think part of the reason tables became considered "bad" was that back at that time most web pages were built by interspersed HTML and ASP or PHP code and getting all the TR and TD tags balanced especially with rowspans or colspans thrown in quickly became a mess. Every page was a standalone thing also, it was much less common to see templating systems used to establish the overall structure of the site. So if you ever got the assignment to "reskin" a website, it was a huge amount of very tedious work making repeated similar changes to all the tables and other markup on every page.

Today we have much better ways to create an overall layout and separate markup from content. Using tables today would be a lot less of a problem than it was when they were decreed to be "bad."
And, like cryptography, only works for as long as someone doesn't bother to pwn you via a side channel.

It's Twitter's responsibility out of their commitment to the welfare of community. Abuse and harassment should not be tolerated in any community to guarantee healthy atmosphere and smooth exchange of information and constructive communication for all participants.

Let's make this point loud and clear, there's a huge difference between criticizing Israel, Netanyahu, or even Zionism but attacking Jews solely for being Jews, this shouldn't be tolerated at all.

I get your point that the Free Speech absolutists may find these social networks unwelcoming when they start censoring or moderating this kind of content on their platforms but on the other hand Anti-Abuse absolutists would welcome this immensely and ask even for more.

So, in the end it's Twitter's call to make and pick which audience they should prioritize and set of policy goals they should pursue.

I also I can't hide to comment on the irony that this opinion is coming from an HN veteran here when you know well how HN is run - Not that I disagree with the moderation policy, on the contrary :) - and how it doesn't represent the pinnacle of Free Speech as a platform on the internet.
I've actually not heard about this. It's a shame "alt-right" became synonymous with bigot, white nationalist, etc.

The underlying political philosophy is sound, but for some reason the crowd it attracts are essentially losers (in a very specific economic sense).
I'm not saying it's true that biological sex creates certain predispositions, but it's also not unreasonable. The people who dogmatically deny it outright are as bad as the people who strongly affirm such differences despite lack of evidence.

I have yet to see someone risk their lives fleeing their countries because of too much wealth.

Poor living conditions in Cuba are well known. The video below (in Portuguese) is a description of communist abundance, made by a Cuban woman living in Brazil.

https://m.facebook.com/163790763963427/videos/17806373253613...

In summary, Cubans receive a rationing card that allows them to acquire goods in two places, the grocery store and the butchery.

Each person is allowed 2.5kg of sugar, 300g of coffee, 500g of beans and 250ml of soybean oil, 10 eggs, 1 chicken thigh. Per month. All in terrible hygiene conditions. Toilet paper is described as a luxury, extremely expensive and not supplied by the government.

If you prefer to ignore this firsthand account, then compare the statistics you found with the ones from before the revolution, when Cuba was a leading country in Latin America in many indicators.

The comment about using people trying to escape the country was obviously made in snark. I'm not trying to compare numbers of Cubans who try to escape the prison island with other countries, exactly for the reasons you mention: the comparison makes no sense, as in other countries you simply are free to leave.

Yes, it is obviously only Cubans who have escaped. The others simply left their countries when they wanted. It's a bit different from escaping a dictatorship fleeing in precarious boats, don't you think?

Finally, yes, Americans can have their travel rights restricted for reasons. Cubans have it like that by default.
Not all sensors are available all the time. I was creating a prototype dash cam that recorded drivers driving habits and AR of obstacles on the path in addition to GPS routing.

The best way to "log on" a driver was analyze driving pattern and assign records to that person
Well Searle is a good example of one who would claim something along those lines.
Unfortunately, one of TeamViewer's best features is how easily it works without firewall configuration. Often you can use it in schools and corporate environments. It is likely at least a little irritating to successfully block.

I found this (older) link, which seems to provide an IP range to block, and of course, suggests blocking TeamViewer DNS entries. But I'm not sure how good a block you'll manage on a Windows PC as opposed to a network device of some flavor.

The easiest way to restrict the damage your parents can do to themselves is to make a separate admin user, and make them not an admin. Of course, then you volunteer yourself to install stuff for them too.

That's just the thing, maybe nose-picking isn't a big issue after you get to know each other. Many people are very risk-averse when it comes to romantic relationships and the tiniest thing may cause someone to pass on you if they haven't had the time to see your other qualities.

IMHO this doesn't necessarily make a person unreasonable, just cautious or someone with other options.
Hmm, I assumed it would be something along the lines of the images being fairly static, and updated as a whole, and you just apply your configs and data, possibly through mount points.
I dual boot Windows 10 and Linux Mint 17.3 and I am finding myself more in Linux than Windows recently. Not just because it doesn't spy on me or it doesn't force upgrades but because it runs faster and I feel it is a better environment for programming because it runs less games and has a lot of development options for free.

> "give them the same inputs, and most of the time you'll get the same outputs.... people are predictable at scale."

That's not quite how economics work. It's more like, outputs from a given set of inputs can be characterized in a statistical way at scale (which is subtly different from saying that individuals are predictable at scale.) It's not that every person will choose to buy pizza if it's $11.99 but not if it's $12.00, but instead that if you offer pizza for $11.99 you'll generally get between X and Y sales per day, and if you increase that to $12.00 you can expect to lose about Z sales, and you can mess with that curve to try to maximize revenues or whatever.

I would say that what makes "free will" an interesting concept is that it's about how one chooses to prioritize different values -- how they express meaning by their choices. In the sense of a "free will algorithm", it's how you choose to weight different factors in your algorithm. How do you weight comfort, pleasure, stimulation, challenge, avoidance of pain, etc.? How do you weight those things for others? In practical usage, we talk about "free will" when someone makes a choice that surprises us, showing that their value system or their evaluation matrix is different from ours.
