It's also not true that Whatsapp was banned from collecting data on its users, only that it can't share that data (most of which collected before the sale) with Facebook without explicit agreement.
The article totally missed the mark on Gerrit. I think the heavy user is now OpenStack and not Android...

The article claims that Gerrit is just a small part, but if used fully it really isn't. It can be used to track the entire patch lifecycle. Which LKML doens't do via email.. because it isn't very good at it... it uses 'patchwork'.

OpenStack uses Gerrit to manage 537 git repositories. In the last year, 86,027 changesets were merged in the last year out of 111,292 commits. [0]

The real values are the smart searching capability (with email subscription to that search),integration with CI, inline code reviews.. simple rebasing, acls and easy digestion who reviewed.

Once setup, the workflow is super simple:

$ git commit
$ git review
$ # celebrate success

Further, why all the hate on project managers?

Surely part of the problem is that content-id is a bit far-reaching for CC-licensed content? That is, as my understanding goes: if I release music under CC then you use that music, per its license, to make a derived work and stick it on YT, now I get paid for (and get to stick adverts on) your fully-licensed work! That seems a bit unfair.

So I can see that there would be benefit to a creator being able to monetise their own works on YT, but surely there needs to be a mechanism in place to protect legitimate licensees from an over-reaching licensing grab? And at the moment it seems like that mechanism is just not letting people into the monetisation system at all.

Currently the framework only supports undirected graphs, so directed graphical models wouldn't be supported as input. I can't really judge how useful it would be to take a Bayesian net as input, sounds a bit hacky to me. But in principle you could train a neural net on any kind of graph, someone recently suggested to take the connection graph of another neural net as input and try to learn some function on that. But again, it's really hard to judge in advance how useful such approaches would be ;)

reddit bot makes some simple but intricate statistics for whole sentence extraction.

berkley's summarizer takes syntax trees of sentences and cuts off unimportant adjectives (or these unimportant brackets, or comma separated explanations etc.) directly from sentences (since operations are done on syntax trees the shortened sentence is gramatically correct, if parsed syntax tree is correct).

it also uses coreference resolution. (for example, if you were to take the last sentence without context you wouldn't know what/who "it" is, they build up a map of named entities [name - Berkeley Document Summarizer] and replace any pronouns (if necessary) with the names to which they refer.

summarizing quality should be much better than the reddit bot.

How We'll Tackle Diseases That Are Becoming Untreatable
In people without diabetes, the beta cells make and release some insulin all of the time. This is a “basal” level of insulin that helps the body to function. When a person eats and their blood glucose level rises, the body releases an extra burst or ‘bolus” of insulin to help bring the blood glucose back into the target range. The insulin taken to manage diabetes is designed to work the way the body works as closely as possible. http://www.idf.org/worlddiabetesday/toolkit/pwd/insulin
I've been pretty happy with SpiderOak overall. I lucked out and got a coupon to get 'unlimited' space for relatively cheap, so I like that I can back up all of my machines without worrying about needing to pay more.

1000s of small files, or one rapidly changing file cause me problems as well. It's also annoying that each client has to decode new data whenever something is backed up on another machine. This causes my cpu to hit 100% on my laptop while my desktop is backing up a bunch of new files.

The freedom to relicense software is not under the free software definition, so the users have lost no freedoms. The only people that have lost some freedom are distributors of software, which are not the group of people the GPL is trying to protect.

This is all quite funny, because usually lax license advocates say "if you like the GPL then just relicense it because we give you that freedom" but then turn around and say "it's a dick move to relicense our code". If you didn't want people to relicense your code, don't use a license that permits it -- simple as that.

You see the same thing in nutrition and exercise. A lot of people want to boil down every issue to a single factor. Either fat is the only problem or sugar or carbs or whatever. The body is a complex system and a lot of factors have to be in balance. But I guess that's hard to communicate and work with.

Some of what this guy is saying is moot because of the reprehensible tradition of plea bargaining in the United States. As far as I know (IANAL), most criminal accusations don't go to trial because the prosecutors throw everything they have at the defendant.

If you're accused of a crime, it's often crazy to try to defend yourself: if you try to do so and lose, it'll ruin your life. Better just to plead out and take a deal.

If the prosecutors can force you to gamble for your life and livelihood, it doesn't matter what evidence they have against you. The only way around the problem is to remain compliant and never get accused of anything.

Number one on your list is a big issue with using e-mail for kernel development. If you want to submit patches by e-mail, you have to install and configure one of a handful of clients that doesn't mangle the patches first. There's a list in the kernel documentation and they're not terribly user friendly. (In fact, by necessity they have to be, because not wrapping lines automatically is terribly user-unfriendly and required by kernel development. So the only clients that meet the criteria are the ones that don't care about being a pain in the ass to use, and this permeates the entire user experience.) This isn't an issue for the core kernel developers because they already have a suitable e-mail client configured and installed which they're used to using, and because they're generally not submitting patches that way anyway.

It's interesting reading this, particularly in terms of the specialisation - musicians not improvising and not composing; I come from a background of having learned much of the guitar by ear, improvising and working out much of the material I learned to play. This enabled me to learn a number of important skills, but my reading is TERRIBLE. I started trying to do it when I had been playing maybe a year or two - my main teacher knew it was an important skill - but I never got on with it and it's always been something I've shied away from; Just about every year I will try to improve the situation, but it's still "The cat sat on the mat", in terms of my reading level - massively behind my playing level, and I find it really mentally demanding to read when playing, and I think this comes from not persevering with it early enough.

Many of the musicians I play with come from the other side of this - they are excellent readers (some unbelievably so), but they can't improvise in many cases, and a great deal of them aren't happy playing unless everything is written out for them; many can't simply learn a riff or parts and the overall structure of the song, and then know when to come in; I've had to score some horn section parts with hundreds of bars of rest for them to count before coming in - something I initially thought they were taking the mickey with - and without this they are just as stuck as me trying to read.

Different schools of music stress different skills, when really all of them should be practiced, as mentioned in the article; while my reading is still BAD, what I have learned has made me a more rounded musician, and also helped me understand what I'm doing from a different angle; in the same way having played lots of styles of guitar-based music means I am much more rounded and capable than if I'd just stuck to one style. However, the author's voice is not one I've heard much in music education; it's still fairly ghetto-ised.
Too real.

Outlook it probably the worst email client currently on the market and has been for the all of it's existence.

It is my belief of the issue at lot of people have with email stems from Outlook. One example is the weird instance of top posting has made it hard to read many conversations and fostered a mentality of firing of quick response, reducing Outlook/email to a poor mans IM client.

There's a ton of improvements that could be made to Outlook to make it better.
It's (a) all the way down. The expression is robbing Peter to pay Paul - we've even tested it - while running ads on branded keywords does increase clicks, it increases the CPA from zero to potentially pricey. The net benefit is so-so, and if the client doesn't understand that they're cannibalising their organic traffic you have a problem - I.e. 99% of the time.

The only reason I've ever witnessed is SEO/M ego rubbing, and the conversations usually go:

"we are spending more than our monthly revenue on brand ppc ads!"

"But you cover the entire first page of Google for your terms, branded and product. Turn the ads off."

"But all our traffic cones through the ads!"

"That's because you're swamping your organic terms."

"Oh gee, I don't know, worm-tongue SEO/M-master, what do I do?"

"Spend more money with my PPC agency! We know more about web development then web developers, we studied drama and literature. And we have a certificate from google saying we're good webmasters. Do your development agency?"

The argument "oh, hey... it's free" doesn't permit you to use GPL software in a manner unapproved by the license. Same goes with songs.
However, Scalia's dissent in Maryland vs. King was a truly conservative-based dissent. You also have Kyllo vs. United States where 'liberals' Kennedy and O'Conner dissented and 'conservatives' Scalia and Thomas joined Ginsburg and Breyer in the majority that established using FLIR without a warrant was a violation of the 4th Amendment.

In US vs. Jones, Scalia again wrote the majority opinion enstablisbing that a GPS tracker on a car is a violation of the 4th.

We also have Riley vs. California, Hamdi vs. Rumsfeld (where Scalia'd dissent was joined by John Paul Stevens.)

My point is that we need justices that follow the Constitution and not justices that follow a party. I don't particularly trust Clinton to pick constitutionalist justices while Trump is a wildcard (he isn't even remotely conservative, so it's likely his picks would likely be more centrist to please his own centrist views without alienating the Republican voters.)

I don't like Trump or Clinton, but I think Trump picks will likely be more moderate than anyone Clinton might select.

However my opinion doesn't matter, what I'm trying to say is that a vote for Hillary doesn't mean a vote for judges that will rule correctly. It doesn't mean a vote against those judges either. But 'vote accordingly' is meaningless because there is no 'accordingly.' For example, look at Kagan's opinion in Ransom v. FIA Card Services.. She sided with the credit card company over a consumer in a bankruptcy case while Scalia was the only dissent in the 8-1 decision.

Vote accordingly.. ok how? Meaning, there is no such thing. "Liberal" justices aren't always "liberal" in ways that you might like and "conservative" doesn't always mean what you think. The court is far more nuanced. A balanced court is far safer than one ideologically disposed to one extreme or another. It would be very dangerous to have an entire court of John Paul Stevenses just as it would be dangerous to have a court filled with Clarence Thomases.
I've got a tendonitis in my right elbow, when I tried greasing the groove for pull ups, and spent several months recovering. Be careful :) Any sign of pain in an elbow means your tendons need a rest.
Mini-batching is indeed tricky, as you need the information of the complete local neighborhood for all nodes in a mini-batch. Let's say you select N nodes for a mini-batch, then you would also have to provide all nodes of the k-th order neighborhood for a neural net with k layers (if you want an exact procedure). I'd recommend to do some subsampling in this case, although this is not trivial. We're currently looking into this. Otherwise full-batch gradient descent tends to work very well on most datasets. Datasets up to ~1 million nodes should fit into memory and the training updates should still be quite fast.
It can be kind of a relief to freely acknowledge the reasons your thing might suck, one way or another. Ideas can somehow be less scary written down than when just hanging around as possibilities in your head. If you think your bad self-review is the only reasonable way to look at things, then maybe you have a real problem, but hopefully your reaction is to put it in perspective somehow--to consider the good things balancing the bad, or why the objections aren't valid or aren't fatal, or at least that the world keeps spinning and you are not your work. And then when life or other people's reactions come around, your reaction is a bit less surprised and maybe more grounded.
That is not what I wrote, but it's an intresting question. It probably would but not to the actual extend US is currently facing.

Let's face it. Looking at what happens in science, we see that there is junk science and there are cheaters. So this would probably still exit in a pure open source economy. However, the incentive to create junk things just for the profit would be much smaller. The main reason, in my opinion, is because the reward of junk food creation is unrelated to its added value to humanity. With open source, the succes is more strongly related to the real added value of the product.

Note that the apparent success of junk food is not only due to people liking them. It's also because of strong marketing efforts, manipulating health tests and reports and organisations that should establish health rules, etc. It's also difficult to find healthy food because they saturate the market with it which leaves hardly any room for healthy food.

Thanks for the two sentence reply fam, it really elevated the discussion.
In my opinion, yes, Gerrit is awful.

Perhaps my experience is made worse by the fact that our Gerrit servers (perhaps about 5000 users) are so painfully slow that it can take a minute to display a page. Multiply that by the number of files touched in a patch to get a whole review done.

Then add all this non-vanilla Git extensions like "Change-Id" lines in commit messages and Gerrit/Repo's awkward idea of branches spanning multiple repositories.

All this makes it difficult to deal with multiple patches that make a "feature", ie. a feature branch. Something that should be trivial in Git is made really difficult by Gerrit.

I just simply love Go.

I've wrote a number of projects in go already, there are only a few things I'd love to see:

* A good UI library, there are some projects around Electron/Webkit wrappers, but otherwise only clunky Gtk/Qt bindings

* A good docker library that lets me manage containers on my own with the capabilities I need (my project does not need a FS, it only needs network and secure containment)

* More versatile cryptography options, I find the standard library to be somewhat lacking at times.

edit appendix:

* A more efficient memory allocator, in my experience the default memory allocator sucks. Sucks badly.
Vigorous Public Debates in Academic Computer Science
Brexit: Theresa May to trigger article 50 by end of March 2017
The problem isn't a distribution issue, the problem is that he wants to be able to tell other people that they're allowed to use his music for free, then turn around and tell YouTube that they need to redirect all the ad revenue from videos using it into his pockets as payment for using it, adding ads if necessary. That's a sleazy, dishonest thing to do. (Even for CC-BY-NC as you're adding ads to non-monetized videos against the creator's wishes - and possibly in violation of the license of other elements of the video.) Also, what matters to the distributors is whether any of the music was ever released under Creative Commons. Releasing a slightly different version probably won't help either for this reason.
Another area where Dropbox seems to be slipping is customer support. DB stopped working on one of my machines after an unscheduled shutdown. Submitted a ticket along with a thorough description of the problem and error log, and after nearly a week the only response I've had was an automated reply that I should disable antivirus programs. This being an Ubuntu desktop, I don't have any AV installed.

This company gets $120/yr from me and they can't answer a support ticket? There have many competitors who charge less and I bet some of those competitors actually support their paying customers. You are looking at one soon-to-be-ex-customer unless DB pulls a rabbit out of their hat very soon.
