IIRC, except for calls with attorneys and certain other exceptions, monitoring prisoners phone calls (like monitoring their visits) is a perfectly legal security measure.

That said, its kind of odd (to the point of being nearly implausible) that human monitors on the calls didn't make the connection between requests by prisoners for a "three-way" followed by the person referred to in that request being dialed in to the call by the person that was directly called until after the fact machine analysis identified "three-way" was a code word.

First, because using "three-way" (or more fully, "three-way call" for the call, "three-way calling" for the feature [0]) to refer to a call into which a third-party is added isn't obscure prison code, its standard usage, and second because even if human monitors were initially clueless as to the particular term, it defies reason to ask us to believe that they didn't notice the additional person being added to the call after the request.

This is also quite obviously a stealth ad (probably a press release being uncritically accepted and lightly rewritten and published as a news article) for Intelligent Voice, whose software is being promoted in the piece: there are no prison sources cited, the only sources cited are the company's CEO and one of their software developers.

[0] I mean, really, google "three-way call".
Right, I'm not disagreeing with that at all.

I'm pointing out that a knee-jerk "doesn't work with JS" is irrelevant to 99% of web users.

Be there are other considerations of course, like accessibility, UX consistency, etc (all of which ARE doable in JS if you have to) but that's not what I was responding to, was it?

> I think it's rarely a good idea to store blobs of any kind in the database.

Stop right there. There are plenty of examples for storing blobs in a datastore - images and videos are 2 prime examples.

I think what you should say is in a SQL database. Google's AppEngine with their datastore makes it dead easy and with high performance to store&retrieve things like images and videos.

ReactiveOps - Remote, Right-to-Work-in-USA (full-time, part-time, W2 or 1099) Site Reliability Engineer / AWS Automation Engineer
https://www.reactiveops.com

Email matt [at] reactiveops . com with your resume, linkedin, or other representative thing I can read, and then pass along to others within the team.

We do "DevOps" consulting - AWS infrastructure automation, migrations, creating high availability systems, CoreOS/Kubernetes/Docker setups, monitoring and alerting, etc. and are looking for a veteran AWS infrastructure engineer to work on client projects, in addition to 20% time spent developing our in-house automation framework (which we sell as a "fractional Ops Team" via DevOps-as-a-Service).

We are open to full-time, part-time, W2 or subcontractors, depending on your area of expertise and desire. Strong, fluent command of English language - written and verbal - is required.
You should have extensive experience automating, monitoring, and scaling applications on an AWS workload. You should be an expert at infrastructure automation (Ansible preferred, but we also do Chef, Puppet, Salt, etc.) and know the AWS API inside and out.

You've done work from home before (it's not for everyone) and have a quiet, professional office space you work out of (in your house, some coworking space, etc.). You are comfortable leading client engagements and are fearless in telling them when they're trying to get you to do the wrong thing. You thrive when working with limited day-to-day oversight and feedback from either the client or RO management, and are mature enough to proactively reach out for help when you need it.
Have there been studies on the relative software utilization of client hardware over the years?

If clients are reduced to consumption terminals where special purpose IP blocks (e.g. video decoding) neutralize the difference between x86 and ARM, there is less justification for the price premium of a powerful general purpose CPU.

If powerful clients have large local storage and compute-oriented apps that are optimized for low-latency human interaction on large desktop monitors or VR workspaces, then there would be good reason to pay for a general purpose CPU.

A powerful desktop can also serve as a cloud to mobile devices, but a cloud server cannot offer the low-latency response of a local desktop. Why discard the one form factor that can serve both roles?

Is the problem Moore's Law or the lack of desktop software innovation and business models? If Hollywood can promote business models via PC hardware DRM (e.g. SGX), can the software industry support hardware for client-oriented business models?

Full-stack web developer specialized in Python (Django and Flask) with 10+ years of experience in developing software.

I have a PhD and published work in statistical Natural Language Processing, so am also looking for interesting opportunities on NLP. I have experience as teacher, so if you need one-to-one consulting or mentoring on any of these subjects (software development, web development, NLP, programming, algorithms, data processing, developing with Python and C, others?), I'm used to make complex things seem simple.

I'm currently bootstraping my own software company (http://flatangle.com) but it would be great to work with you on your projects. Check my personal website for more information, http://joaoventura.net/ or my github account for some hints on my work: https://github.com/joaoventura/ and https://github.com/flatangle/.
I would put it this way:
Time dependence, therefore dispersion is in direct connection with the model Hamiltonian. The uncertainty principle is independent of time dependence and the model Hamiltonian.

I think I made a mistake about massless quantum particles, since in 3D a packet disperses in all directions. But in 1D it works. It can't stay stationary, but it moves with "c" in either direction but it stays in a localized area, still the uncertainty principle still holds.

> You might equally ask why the tech industry feels the need to be stuck so tightly to SF when it's far more amenable to remote work than most industries.

This pops up in every thread about housing.

The answer is that there's still a ton of value in being in the same place as other people. Stuff happens faster. Ideas are more easily shared. Spontaneous ideas are born.

Of course at a certain point, having to pay someone way more makes it just not worth it, but that seems to be a pretty high number for a lot of companies.
I'm pretty sure the idea is that it's just for prototyping so that ideas can be vetted or demoed quickly without having to touch a ton of C++.
SEEKING WORK

Location: Chicago. Remote Preferred.

Dev:

I'm a Clojure developer with a few years experience doing it professionally full time. I also have an interest in Elixir and am willing to do Elixir at reduced rates to get more experience under my belt.

* Clojure(script) development - full stack ($75 an hr) * Elixir development ($37.5 an hr)

Business:

* Have an idea for a startup or website? Don't have the technical chops to build it and test the waters? Let's talk. I'll help you prove your idea so that you can raise money to develop your product in house. We'll work together to sketch out an MVP and build it. ($1.5k a week with me doing dev part time)

Marketing:

* Interactive Content Marketing. People are tired of reading the same old rehashed blog posts with same top 10 lists over and over. It's also a lot harder to market in a sea of blog posts and infographics. Let's try something different. I call it interactive content marketing. Instead of building a static piece of content like a blog post, we'll build a useful and free tool that will generate highly qualified leads for you in your target market.
(price negotiable)

Sound interesting? Send me an email.

* Email marketing automation to automatically capture and nurture leads from website visitors to paid customer. If you've built a B2B SaaS business then it's very likely that you're not using email marketing effectively enough. We'll first start by capturing the website visitors that you spend so much time creating content and so much money advertising for. I'll setup your lead capture form with a lead magnet that will start netting you emails. I'll also setup an automated drip email sequence for your list to educate them on your product/services and keep reminding them of who you are.

I guarantee a massive RoI, or your money back.

If any of these services sound interesting to anybody you know, please forward them to me.

Funny thing about UU is, every congregation is different. I live in a college town; even the carpenters have a PhD. You meet all kinds at UU meetings.

But yeah the demographic of UU members is "High functioning non-contributors"
I feel the biggest hole in technical/small social groups vs. church groups is the lack of permanency. With most church organizations there is a built in way to bring fresh people in to associate with the church, and a dedicated place to meet that you can expect to be there with modest assumptions 10 years from now. A technical group is generally completely nomadic, they have to do a lot of work to bring people together. The glue that keeps them together is flimsy as well- a tech group is less likely to keep someone who makes a drastic change in occupation (IT to a brewer) compared to a church.

The major lack of easy association to the group is something that is hard to replicate in the nonsecular space. There is nothing strongly compelling about a group that's focus is too general, and the difficulty to bridge the gap from outsider to inclusion can be too high for a group that is interesting.
It's not arrogant at all. You said something that didn't make sense without substantiation. It's not arrogant to question you.

Very nice article!

But ...
You generated your original data from: "sklearn.datasets.make_moons".
Then you say that you tested your classifier on a hold-out set with "sample_ppc()".

I don't think that's a true hold-out set. A true hold-out set would be obtained by running "make_moons()" again to generate new data.

Have you tried that? It would be interesting I think.

I'll run the test myself too ...

Again, thanks for a very nice and informative article.
Sure. The problem with a PayDay loan is that it replaces future capital with capital today.

For the small percent of people who have serial problems managing their capital, giving them capital is the worst thing you can do. This causes people to get trapped in a cycle.

The key difference here is you replace future-capital with the goods or services directly. It's much harder to turn food and/or rent back into capital, and then mismanage it.
