The strategic view is not hard to understand. They got their clock cleaned on the server side. They are irrelevant in the IoT. Machine learning, docker, apache spark run best on linux. The direct-x gaming advantage will erode as Vulkan opens up the industry. They failed spectacularly in mobile as the vast majority of connected devices run Android and iOS. ChromeOS is about to run native Android apps which marks the end of charging for windows desktop, which is why they're so desperate for win10 upgrades to monetize user tracking. Some see their embracing of open-source as the new MS but they have no alternative.
>But if Google is hiring for more than that - say, for what the employee will come up with on their own in their 20% time - then the false negatives could be extremely expensive to Google.

This hiring process, together with internal structure, is exactly why companies eventually stagnate. They hire for compliance and create an environment that values the same. There may be smart people in the organization, but great ideas are not compliant because they require change. This is why consultants and outside agencies are needed to come up with ideas - ideas are not welcome in many environments.
How stable is it? I've been playing around with the idea installing it on my only (dev)machine. I dont expect the ubuntu subsystem to work perfectly but my old workflow to be stable.

The issue, as another poster pointed out, is not that there are vulnerabilities in the Docker daemon, but that access to the socket inherently gives you access to run arbitrary containers in privileged mode. This allows you access to the full host: https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/run/#/runtime-privi... and everything that a normal root user can do.

At present, there is no great way to mitigate this if you're tracking the official Docker releases (at least, as far as I know).

How else do you "prove" trivial algorithms other than by removing the realities of an actual runtime environment?

I'm pretty sure you're right though. Integers must have been defined as infinite in the proof for it to have been a proof at all.

Tor has suffered a lot of bad PR, FUD, and failures lately. I'm beginning to lose faith in the network itself.

I attempted to ask some of the developers if there was, or any interest in, a Javascript version of Tor. My thought was that Electron apps or clearnet websites could use the javascript to load resources or data from onion addresses.

The push back I got from the concept made me feel sad. Some of the responses I got varied from "By only having one reference Tor, it keeps the whole network safe" to "Mixing clearnet with Onion access will make people unsafe."

Tor is doing a good job with the mission purpose of providing one software application that allows an individual to communicate with the world, even inside of a nation that practices extreme censorship.

But for the purposes of preventing the US, the largest and most prevalent state actor, from monitoring the entirety of the network? It seems to be failing.

For the purpose of hiding the source of an onion website, the jury is still out. It appears that the US government has enough of a view into the Tor network that they're able to often deanonymize the hosting location of the backend server.

They've been talking about refactoring the hidden service portion of the code for a long time now but I'm worried that all of the hits the project has taken lately will make that too little, too late.
How does this tell you that something is missing if it never reported, or that something is no longer meant to exist?
The trick with flanneld on our other hosts is that AFAICT there's no way to run flanneld as purely a "grab routes and install them" without having it get a totally unnecessary (and completely unused) subnet lease.

I have considered just writing a quicky daemon that will do just the work of syncing routes without getting a lease (or trying to modify flanneld to do so).

The service in this case is memcache with a bunch of mcrouter pods in front of it to handle failure and cold cache warming. I still need to get traffic to the mcrouter instances and that's where I'm running into the bottleneck.
Hmm, I always figured it was just assumed that, unless otherwise specified, most well-known implementations fail with sufficiently large numbers.

I'm not sure that cost is the biggest problem. PoE splitters with USB ports can be had for ~$20. Though, relative to an RPi, I guess that is somewhat expensive.

Ex: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B019BLMWY0 (note, I haven't actually used this product).

A quick ebay search shows some that are ~$5, so I'd imagine it wouldn't be all that hard for an experienced board developer to get the price lower at higher production rates.
These are all good points, but I will make the claim that it is typically possible to edit the labels of classifiers manually if they are inaccurate.

Priority labels aren't enough for you? (https://about.gitlab.com/2016/06/22/gitlab-8-9-released/#pri...) We're using P1, P2, etc. internally, but you could easily use `urgent` and `high priority` labels and then sort your lists by `Priority`.

>it’s fine for a “connoisseur” to only like sushi made of the freshest highest quality fish

There are quite a few chefs who believe the best sushi is from fish that has been 'curing' in the cooler a few days.[1] not necessarily the freshest fish. That's because the fish takes on more flavors as it ages. The notion of fish needing to be fresh is more prevalent in north American than it is in Japan.

Remember, some of the first sushi quality fish were flown over in planes back in the early '70s as a way for JAL to make money on the cargo hold of their planes.

He then has to solve why he was returned to that point in his life while making choices that affect future outcomes in sometimes unintended ways, armed with the knowledge he gains in each repetition.

More glutamic acid. Oddly enough, my family already makes two of the magic dishes mentioned in the article: The pork buns and Ma Po's tofu.

In my view, there's not much that a home cook can learn from a chef. Julia Child commented on the difference, and thought that being a good home cook is an art unto itself. A lot of what we do in home cooking is the art of the possible. We deal what's available at the supermarket, in season, whatever we can grow in our backyard gardens, etc. We may have limited equipment and limited budgets. Some of us live with vegetarians.

For instance, in our case the pork buns are made using our pizza dough recipe, and baked. We don't have those amazing giant steamers that you see in the kitchen when you go to dim sum. Our Ma Po's tofu is vegetarian, much as I love the combination of tofu and pork.

I found that blog post to be very disappointing. It didn't really demonstrate a meaningful use case for WSL (i.e. programming in C by compiling with gcc). I think that blog post is mostly made for tech journalists who aren't actually very techy. For example, the author used nano to copy and paste in a Python script. There's a two things wrong with that: 1) he used nano for "programming" (regardless of which text editor you use, I think we can all agree that nano definitely shouldn't be used for programming) and 2) Python already has native support on Windows.

I've been hosting http://www.pidramble.com/ on either a cluster of 5 Pi 2s (now 3s), or a single Pi when the cluster is on a road trip, since July last year.

The only downtime has been a result of power or Internet outages at home.

Anecdotal, but I now have some 36 different Raspberry Pis at my house, and while I've had two (cheap) MicroSD card failures, I haven't had an issue with any of the Pis themselves.

As long as you use quality 2A power supplies (1A for older Pis) and quality MicroSD cards, I don't think you should worry too much about reliability, and if you have a cluster with redundancy... That's kind of the point ;)

In what way can Bitcoin be considered a meaningful alternative (however you define it) if you also have to input a valid credit card number (that, presumably, the merchant will run the traditional $1 verification charge on)?

The reality is that Bitcoin is less convenient than using a regular credit card (because, realistically, you're not going to be mining Bitcoin but rather you'll be buying Bitcoin using your regular credit card/bank account). I would argue that Bitcoin is also worse in every way (no chargebacks, wild fluctuations in the valuation of a unit of Bitcoin, etc.) if you also don't care about anonymity and the product you're buying is fully legal.
It's pretty stable. But also pretty useless. Fun to play around and use a bit of byobu. I had a repo that wouldn't check out in windows because of some file names. But bash on Ubuntu on Windows worked like a champ.

But as I said, the utility is limited. If you really need the Linux kernel, this is useless. If you don't, then everything is already available on Windows natively.

I think the post represents the typical data scientist's approach to a machine learning problem pretty well. Deep learning is exciting but, for practical problems, most people aren't using it yet. XGBoost is still dominant in Kaggle competitions. Lots of companies with lots of data still use simple single machine models.

So, I think it's a little misleading to say that deep learning eliminates the need for feature engineering. If we're going to provide business value to a company, we're often dealing with somewhat structured data and not "unstructured blobs of pixels or blobs of text". There are several simple linear models with highly engineered features in production where I work that resist attempts to replace them with more clever models and less feature engineering.

Deep learning is awesome and there may be a time when it solves every problem. But let's not oversell it. For now, if someone wants to do machine learning and get paid for it, they're more likely to see their colleagues using the techniques in this article than training deep multi-layer neural nets.

Tesla Autopilot Crash Shouldn’t Slow Self-Driving Development, Regulator Says
I am curious where your thoughts on DFU come from. I am very familiar with it as it was the bootrom-level recovery mode my team utilized when we worked on jailbreak tools that exploited SecureROM.

DFU has a single purpose: wait for an Apple-signed firmware file to be sent to it over USB for it to execute. You seem to indicate that it's something you would carry your phone around in...in which it would just reboot into iOS after awhile.

Asking the obvious: Have you booted an iOS device into DFU mode before? Maybe the iPhone Wiki made it sound like it is a "mode" you can boot iOS into? I am not sure exactly what you think it is, but again, the device screen is completely black and indistinguishable from being off, OS is not booted and nothing is happening at all, besides the fact that (again) it is indeed on and "spinning" as it waits for the USB interrupt.
Ok, this is the comment that best explained it to me -- you want to sanitize (escaped, etc, whatever) output because, even if you sanitize all HTML/CSS/JS on input, they might have inserted malicious Excel scripts or PDF exploits, etc, that eventually do get executed in an output context.
My experience (being on a college campus, however dead it may be during the summer) has been the opposite. People who otherwise wouldn't talk to each other are openly walking up to each other to talk about Pokemon Go.

A coworker of mine and his girlfriend have also started hanging out (as in, indoors and double dating by not playing Pokemon together) with another couple they met while hunting for Pokemon.
Once, long ago, I worked at a company that made hardware that plugged into a Unibus backplane. This backplane was used by DEC (an early minicomputer) systems. The backplane, much like those of today, was a series of card-edge connectors.

We had a product which communicated across this backplane using programmed I/O with a driver installed into the kernel of the machine (running RSTS-E).

We'd developed a new version which was able to use DMA to directly access the buffer memory of the system processor; it was pretty small, only 256K bytes.

We had a system we tried to install this on in England, and there was some problem we could not figure out. It just wouldn't work. Now, the installation procedure involved the backplane intimately. In those days, the backplanes weren't a printed circuit card, but rather a series of connectors connected by wire-wrap wire. To install a DMA card, you had to unwrap the DMA grant line from the backplane. We even had special cards to insert which jumpered it back if you needed to remove one of the DMA cards. After several days of trying various things, we gave up.

About 11 years later, the installer and I were talking over beers, and we finally figured out the problem. Of course, by that time we were both working at a new company. The issue was that the grant line was damaged or removed in another slot of the backplane, but wasn't correctly jumpered back. When they moved around a card to 'test' the slot, it didn't use DMA, and so worked fine.
As far as computing power it's for sure useless, but tag on some kind of wiring hardness/breakout board for the GPIO pins and a redundant power supply and you might have a nice cheap platform to build a control system around.

Interesting post, but there are several errors, or at least suggestions that don't make sense to me:

> Doing so will result in very good evaluation scores and make the user happy but instead he/she will be building a useless model with very high overfitting.

Testing on your training data doesn't in-and-of-itself lead to overfitting, but it will hide overfitting if it does exist (and is a terrible practice for that reason).

> At this stage only models you should go for should be ensemble tree based models.

Not sure why this should be the case. Many ensemble models are very memory hungry & slow, Random Forests being a good example. They are flexible and have minimal assumptions, sure, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try any other modeling technique, especially if you have domain knowledge.

> We cannot apply linear models to the above features since they are not normalized.

Not true at all. You won't be able to meaningfully compare coefficient magnitudes, but you can certainly apply linear models.

> These normalization methods work only on dense features and don’t give very good results if applied on sparse features.

Since normalization is done feature-by-feature, there is no reason why this should be true.

> generally PCA is used decompose the data

If your latent features add linearly, ok, but do they? Is it meaningful to have negative values for your features? If not, consider using something like sparse non-negative matrix factorization.

Lastly, using this approach means you have a HUGE model & parameter space to search through. Because of this you will need a ton of data to get meaninigful results.

He seems to be treating machine learning methods as a bag of tricks. That's ok so far as it goes, but in my experience it's much more valuable to try and understand your data, and the process that generates it, and then build a model that tries to reflect that data generation process.

Right, but you seem to be talking about input -- the question was about output.

I did get my answer, though -- output matters because it might be a different medium than input. So even if you sanitize HTML input, malicious VBA code could make it through that eventually ends up in an Excel report and gets executed (for example).
