How about the textbook http://www.deeplearningbook.org/.

It introduces you to some of the underlying principles which haven't changed much over time. I highly recommend it if you want to get deeper intuitions on the principles of CNN, LSTM/RNN, Restricted Boltzmann Machines etc. Also, Hinton's Coursera lectures, though not sure if you can access it anymore.

Flexport managed this quite well actually. Here's our take: https://www.flexport.com/blog/on-hanjin/
The issue was the Microsoft changed the registry key that was effective, re-enabling GWX if I recall.
The problem with Bastiat's analysis is that civilization is a cartel, and government is our cartel enforcer. We have thus delegated power to the state that we have not retained for ourselves. If we did retain those powers, the cartel could not function, and we would be forced to revert to Nash equilibrium strategies rather than maximized outcomes.

The law is not a pooling of resources. It is a compact wherein everyone holds the same blade to everyone's throats, so that everyone will behave in a manner that benefits the whole, rather than out of pure self-interest. Thus, a government may lawfully do those things that individuals have given up as a condition of maintaining good standing in the cartel.

The enforcer needs to be exactly as monstrous as is required to discourage cartel defections.

As you might expect, this leads to a host of real and potential problems with governments, but those problems have a different root cause than the state acting outside the authority of natural law, and are practically insurmountable for quite different reasons.

Government derives its authority from being a better-than-random strategy in a massive, never-ending game wherein players are continually chosen at random to participate in a Prisoner's Dilemma. Government provides an incentive to consistently cooperate rather than defect. Other winning strategies may exist. Some of them may even produce better overall scores. We allow government to exist and direct certain aspects of our lives because, on average, it makes us richer in the long run. Or it makes enough of us richer that we are prepared to gamble, to try to be one of them.

One of the biggest problems is not being able to know for certain whether the government player is defecting against us in the metagame, even as we cooperate. How do we prove mathematically whether the state really is acting in the best interests of all of its people, treating each of them equally, or not?

"In fact in the past years, after the fork, LibreOffice developers regularly tracked OpenOffice source code repository and merged all the useful changes they could find, by either picking the original code or re-implementing it their own way."

And therein lies the problem... AOO was simply consumed. There was no quid-pro-quo where these were then donated back to AOO. Of course, the ALv2 does not require that, and so LO was perfectly within their right to not donate back. But it also seems somewhat "shady", and not the kind of behavior one would expect of a fellow FOSS project, but more like a corporate FOSS bottom feeder.

So development was basically all single stream... what was useful was used but nothing was given back.

I wish people would recall this when they mention how "arrogant" Apache is, or how Apache acted in bad faith and stuff like that or that Apache wanted to "control everything". Certainly if a single, unified OO eco-system was important to LO/TDF, they had opportunities to help make that happen. Let's at least be honest here.

There are a bunch of really intelligent looking behaviors from insects, but they seem to have a common theme of "storing" information in the environment. There is a hornet that will sweep and search its nest when it brings food back, but first it will place the food down. If you move the food while the search is going on, it will do the whole search over again when it goes out searching for food. The intelligent behavior seems to be tightly coupled with the environment. Maybe the hole is enough to break some assumptions with the ants.

My guess is the big problem is that Patrick's pitch of "If you can prove you're the best developer, you'll get the best job with the best salary!" just didn't work out in practice because aside from Google, the market doesn't care about your ability to complete homomorphisms of topcoder challenges.
This petition is time sensitive and unlike many other petitions you have seen in the past. Kratom is a plant from Indonesia in the same family as coffee, and is currently being used by many different people to help with their chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and more. It is not an opiate as some incorrect news sources have claimed. The DEA has filed a Notice of Intent to make an emergency decision to make this plant a Schedule I substance starting September 30th, which means that the DEA thinks it is more harmful than cocaine.

This petition is very important because it actually could mean that we can fight this hasty and uninformed decision by the DEA. One of the three ways this decision can be fought legally includes a clause for people collectively disagreeing with the emergency scheduling decision. Lawyers that have looked at this decision believe that this petition qualifies and could have a direct impact on saving this innocuous, life-saving plant from being demonized by the DEA based on lies and incorrect data. Kratom has never been identified as the sole cause of a single death, and in fact is used by many people (myself included) as an aid in leading normal, productive, pain-free, anxiety-free lives. If you sign this petition, you would be doing the world a huge favor. Please don't forget to verify your email address once you've signed it. Thanks!
Are there many-layered deep networks that aren't convolutional neural nets, or are CNNs practically necessary to make deep networks work? Are there specific extra techniques not necessary for CNNs that are necessary to make deep non-convolutional networks work well?
namuol has covered all the really good points. It's definitely easier to have money by "not spending money" than "making more money". But there are lots of side jobs you could do. Maybe you could mow lawns or fill out questionnaires online? You could go to car boot sales and sell good finds.

Usually devs get the best "pay rises" by finding a new job, though.
I think the argument here is that, say, somebody's random blog or forum for their local group or whatever doesn't really need to worry about well-equipped state actors or the mafia or whoever MITM-ing them (and wouldn't be able to defend that anyway if they really became a target).

They do care about someone casually sniffing the password to the blog's admin interface when they post from a coffeeshop, though. But for years -- it's only recently that viable zero-dollar browser-trusted certs became a possibility -- we told those people "screw you, you're so dangerous for wanting that, we have to produce the loudest, nastiest, most terror-inducing popup warnings we can come up with just to slap on your disgustingly evil site and shame you into paying hundreds of dollars to a corrupt cartel".

Which confuses the poor schmuck who just wants that little bit of security against that particular, but far more common than MITM, threat model. De-conflating the two concerns -- inability to eavesdrop, and inability to impersonate -- might not be such a bad idea for those people.

Staying specific to package managers (which the article is about), Python's Pip doesn't have a dependency resolver [0] and Python packaging is miserable without using virtualenvs, which is frustrating overhead. Also the setup.py situation is a hot, unstandardised mess.

As far as Ruby goes, (I don't have as much experience here, but ...) Rubygems seems hella slow, and the require story sucks compared to npm. Do I have to require 'rubygems'?, should I require_relative? In my book npm has both beat for 'is fast' and 'just works'.

"Why is it stupid to invest $5k in a startup but not to invest $500k in a startup?"

In addition to the $500k buying more information and actual shareholder rights, someone who is investing $500k is likely doing so from a fund, or otherwise isn't going to miss the $500k if the investment goes belly up. The $5k investor would probably be hurt a lot more by losing the $5k, AND they don't get the information necessary to make an informed decision.
Update: The 74 MW figure is given by EIA as "net solar generation". The plant also burns natural gas, and made slightly more power in total (which still rounds to 74 MW on average for the year). In particular, it burned 564,814 mcf of natgas, which is worth 9 MW in our existing fleet of combined-cycle power plants. But Ivanpah made < 1 MW out of it, according to EIA.

It's unclear how EIA is partitioning the plant's output. If we use the total generation and subtract the potential (or CO2-equivalent) value of the natgas, it made only 66 MW from the sun.

This. HTTPS hides the details of your requests to sites you visit, but it doesn't hide the actual sites themselves.
This is an odd argument to me. Small towns like Altamonte don't have many affluent commuters with real political influence taking the buses and trains to begin with. There are plenty of big cities that are similar, like San Antonio. In most of America, your standard-issue middle-class-or-wealthier commuter doesn't touch public transit and already isn't interested in funding it to any significant level. I grew up in a town like that.

San Francisco, of course, is different - public transit is so terrible that many those who can afford other choices are already pursuing other options after multiple failed reform attempts. Further changes run into political backlashes. So the worry seems wrongheaded here, too.

The idea is that if you make better-off people take public transit then they will help fix it. This only works if everyone else also wants it fixed (often untrue) and the same people cannot opt out in another way (also often untrue).
A system that prevent such mis-issuance events from staying secret (Certificate Transparency) is also being worked on and is picking up speed.

So what's next? Browsers begin refusing all connections to sites which aren't pinning their keys and using a CA doing transparency? How much of the web do we have to shut off and force into ludicrously-insecure plaintext connections before people start to get that maybe there's room for a spectrum of options here?

I think it's from laundry detergent. People will pay more for a white powder with useless colored crystals in it than they would for the plain white powder. Psychologically, the implication is that the crystals are some sort of secret sauce that makes the powder work better, or is responsible for all the brand-linked advertising claims.

Since the actual chemistry is over most people's heads, the "blue crystals" are where they invest all the magic that makes it work just like the ads claim it will.

"The Power Broker" by Robert Caro.

At first glance, it's a 1,000-page, detailed biography of a (in)famously effective city planner Robert Moses. At its core, it's a lucid examination of the anatomy of power. It has completely changed how I think about power, where it comes from (whether it's at work or in the greater market/world) and how it is retained and lost.

It's also a great antithesis to junk-food journalism and online reading that we've become addicted to. Caro's research is thorough and his writing is inspiring.
HPKP doesn't really solve these problems. It requires initialization, so a naive browser isn't protected at all. It also makes a bunch of smaller operators nervous because, if they lose their keys, it's game over.

> THAT is the problem - that Apple scored a preferential one-off deal that is not available to most other business operating in Ireland.

Apple and Ireland both seem to disagree with this. It's a major point of contention in the case.

Anyway, even if Ireland did give Apple a special rate, that would still arguably be "Ireland's rate." I just wanted to illustrate the difference between the EU, where the component nations are the highest taxing authorities and can compete on tax rates (now in question, to some extent), vs. the U.S, where the federal government is the single highest taxing authority.

Edit to add: In the EU, multinationals have leverage because they can choose their tax regime. In the U.S. multinationals have little leverage over the federal government. This explains why Apple would expect to have a lower tax rate in the EU than the U.S.

> “Saturn has a hexagon at the north pole,” said Bolton. “There is nothing on Jupiter that anywhere near resembles that. The largest planet in our solar system is truly unique. We have 36 more flybys to study just how unique it really is.”

What I care about is the admin interface of my blog. I want that, and only that, to live on a secure connection, for me and only me. I literally just want to be able to type in the password to my blog so I can post stuff to it.

Why does this have to be forced to be such a jump-through-hoops-and-pay-strangers-money thing? Why shouldn't I just make my own cert, note its fingerprint, and call it a day? Why does my browser have to repeatedly go absolutely apeshit over that?

And more importantly, if this is really such a massive unbelievable vector that literally every web-connected computer on earth must behave this way, why does SSH still just say "want to trust this key? OK, I'll get out of your way now"?
