A lot of large U.S. organizations wont use software they cant buy support for. So, you can use RedHat and buy support. When you create software, your developers are going to use all kinds of tools, libraries, etc. and depending on the policies of the organization they are going to want to manage that risk. For example, if you're a bank and the devs who make your mobile app use some random authentication library that later turns out to have major security issues- the bank wants to have support for fixing the problem immediately. And, they want to know who they sue to recover the money they lost due to the security issues.

This is certainly a cultural thing. In some organizations (and even the governments of other countries) open source is well regarded and sometimes required. These organizations realize that a strong trusted community around an open source project is usually good enough- especially when you invest in good employees.
When you say "reset" do you mean it doesn't re-enable the Material theme once the upgrade is complete?
I think you make some very salient and insightful points here. (I am also appalled by your newspaper readers :/)

I'd love to see a cultural narrative and expectational shift in the US, through which the act of simply arresting anyone at all is seen as a gross affront that only occurs on a preponderance of evidence of provable wrongdoing, else LEO is seen as having failed to do their job, serve their community, and are held accountable. A raise in the standards of policing that includes significant penalties for arrests that lead to dropped charges, no prosecutions, provable errors, etc. I also think we need to ban layering on charges like resisting arrest and other such nonsense that have become obvious tactical weapons in LEO misbehavior with citizens. We need a serious shift from automatically granting LEO the benefit of the doubt and nearly impenetrable immunity. Hell, treat it more like we treat politicians—term limits of wielding power and renewal via community review and acceptance of officers and their behavior. This would obviously be more difficult with federal LEO, but if we could change the local forces, perhaps that'd be a good enough start in people's lives.
Yahoo confirms major breach that could be the largest hack of all time
> Huh, how is that sloppy reasoning unless you take that out of context? I don't think the EFF is saying that the IP address should never be used as information. It seems they are in perfect agreeance that if there is enough corroborating evidence in addition to the IP information, then the police can consider action.

Shouldn't it depend on the action? An IP address alone would not justify going to the location it was assigned to and arresting, charging, and holding in jail until trial the person(s) found there.

However, if the action is just to get a search warrant to search that location for more evidence, that seems OK to me. With nothing else other than that the IP address was used for some criminal activity, that is pretty good evidence that something related to the crime took place at the location the IP address was assigned to at the time.

> at least as intelligent as human AI researchers

I don't think that's true. I see no reason why the seed AI must be as generally intelligent as a human in most respects. It may not need to have an understanding of it's physical surroundings, for example, which could mean avoiding building any computer vision components into the system. Further, it may be able to operate in a much more mathematical environment. It may be somewhat similar to a theorem prover that operates on computer programs.

I've always wondered about the nuances around the different licenses, it's nice to get a non-lawyer guide to the MIT one.
As an East Asian, being racially profiled is not something I can naturally empathize with, at least in America. The closest I can imagine is being a tourist in Paris, and having what feels like decidedly more scammers come my way (I literally had 3 people try the "oh look at this ring I found!" scam within a distance of 2 blocks). And who can blame them, it most definitely is the efficient strategy.

It also helps if you've ever been stopped by a police officer for any reason, such as a traffic stop. I've been on a couple of ride-alongs so I've also witnessed it from the officer side. When you hear of someone complaining about just being searched (as opposed to being beaten/arrested/shot), it can sound like whining. Unless you've been the target yourself and you've at least experienced how damn inconvenient it is (regardless of any racial motives from the officer). You really have to be the model of patience to go through that process and think, at the time, "Nevermind me being late, he's just doing his job!"

Imagine being stopped like that as a not-uncommon part of life, just because someone of your general descriptor did some assholish thing. Besides the search/frisk/force part, I think the most annoying thing is how hard it is to argue against that logic without sounding like a politically-correct whiner.

"A secret value goes here. Google 'isa-applesmc' and maybe you'll find it."
That would be tricky. I think fairness depends on the value for money - it's possible that they don't need as many services that are being provided with. It's also possible they could provide for themselves cheaper - perhaps with a few lifestyle changes. In anycase it would be up to them to decide what to do. I understand that it's not a politically viable solution but I wanted to add to the list of options the idea that perhaps there is no need to force them to buy government services or force other taxpayers to bail them out.

It also sounds like the federal government is spending money to support the area - instead of spending taxpayers money on growth (churn) perhaps a rebate on their federal tax as well.
Well put. I think it's really valuable to take inventory of human cognitive capabilities that we don't yet know how to implement in neural nets.

We seem to have more or less solved perception. Given a high dimensional, "raw" input space, we know how to process it into a more usable, more abstract representation.

Work on perception has also given us certain limited kinds of behavior. We can generate images from abstract representations by inverting our image recognition architectures. RNNs can do perception over sequences (e.g. of words), but can also generate language output or a sequence of control commands for robotics.

One area in which I think human cognition is far ahead of neural network research is control flow. Maybe there's a better name for this. We seem to be able to encounter a new cognitive challenge and quickly design a mental program to solve it. We can attend to relevant sensory streams, various kinds of memory, and then design (sometimes novel) behavior to solve the problem.

Work on attention and architectures with more sophisticated internal representations like stack-augmented RNNs are definitely moving in this direction, but it seems like we have much further to go on this front than in visual perception, for example.
> The fruit and veg tend to be larger, less bruised / browned, and overall of better taste.

I disagree about the size & appearance. I wouldn't say this means the veggie would be more tasty. But I definitely agree on the taste part.

This is something I found in common between French and Japanese cuisine: Simplicity, but very good quality ingredients. (maybe this is why there's so many 3 Michelin stars in Japan)

In the US I would say it's hard to enjoy good French/Japanese for that reason. On the contrary, it's easier to enjoy the cuisines which relies more on spices, such as Indian cuisine, because those spices taste good everywhere.
And none of this stuff is being invented in the UK either. US is the king of drug discovery. I'm not saying that I like the current system, because in many ways I don't, but let's not ignore the fact that countries like the UK are not producers.

I took Andrew NG's ML class on Coursera. It was certainly interesting to see how ML works but I'm not sure what to do with this. Particularly, I'm still unsure how to tell beforehand if a problem is too complex to be considered, how much data it'll require, what computing power is needed.

Are there a lot of problems that fall between the very hard and the very easy ones? and for which enough data can be found?

I didn't say anything about seniors needing to 'participate in society' after retirement. I specifically said "non-seniors" have no industry to participate in there... which makes economic sense to relocate them.

My point related to seniors was related to the increased medical care costs required for remote poorly serviced communities. They don't even have a fire department...

Suprisingly OS X actually has decent support for a wide array of video cards out of the box, all of the AMD GCN 1.0 (7000 series and the R7/R9 2XXX rebrands of them) work out of the box as does the R9 290X/390X, along with a bunch of the older HD4000-HD6000 cards. NVidia provides native drivers for all their cards online, and if you're using an Intel GPU that was ever in a Mac it has support as well.

Of course, it's in violation of the macOS EULA to run it on non-Apple hardware in the first place, but you'd be surprised just how much hardware it supports.

The town where I live (SoCal) has 14 elementary schools. Only two of them are between 20% and 80% hispanic student population, with the other 12 in the outer two quintiles.

At least some of this is due to economic reasons. It's about $200k extra on a 3BR house to go from a "bad" school zone to a "good" school zone. That has fall-on effects that includes gerrymandering. The school boundaries are very much not compact. I know of at least one boy who walks through areas zoned for another school to get to his school.

The differences are so extreme, that I have mentioned multiple times that if you were to replace "California" with "Virginia" and "hispanic" with "black" you would have federally mandated cross-town busing of students.

> absolutely incorrect for New York City

This is a very, very untrue statement. I grew up in New York and both the city and Long Island are pretty heavily segregated by race. Yes, there are areas where there is more integration but by and large blacks live in one area and whites live in another. Housing costs in the city have made it so that integration happens for a while in some neighborhoods but really only when that neighborhood is gentrifying. Post gentrification it ends up being pretty much just white or, if you're lucky, a mix of upper middle class people of varying ethnicity but still majority white.

And it develops this way, controlled by DNA. If the brain were really a "uniform matrix that self-programs", think how unlikely it would be that the same functions are performed in the same areas in every person. Everyone's language area (to use a rough term) is in the same place in the brain. Everyone's visual cortex is in the same place. And this holds for even fuzzier concepts like, say, 'concepts', to a point. And this holds for even non-primates - take a squirrel, and you'll find its visual cortex right where you'd expect it.

You have a point -- I note that you did not argue that there is complete mixing in other cities, just that the examples chosen for the OP are particularly stark.

A larger assortment of maps is here:

They generally show more mixing than the cities featured in the OP. (Cold comfort if you happen to live in Kansas City, Baltimore, St. Louis, or Chicago.)

I have lived in Kansas City and in St. Louis, and I agree that they are both more segregated than their peer cities in the, say, top 50 US cities. Certainly in Kansas City, the racial covenants highlighted in the article were very much in force when large land developers expanded the city into its suburbs.

It's worth remembering that the racial covenants in force at the time were very popular. Proposition 14 in California, which was specifically written to allow redlining to continue, passed with 65% of the vote in 1964 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Proposition_14_(196...).
