In lecturing on symmetry and the Platonic solids, he sometimes brought a large turnip and a carving knife to class, transforming the vegetable one slice at a time into an icosahedron with 20 triangular faces, eating the scraps as he went.

We need a MOOC/at least a video with his lectures. Such rare professors are a treasure of humanity.

Looking at the code, it does less than is claimed. The add-on scrapes a Facebook page and calls their server. All the real work is in [1]. There seem to be just two tests, both applied to images - 1) is it an "adult" image, and 2) if it has text, does the text match the indicated Twitter feed?

It uses some Microsoft Project Oxford APIs to do all the image work. There's an "adult image" test API, and an OCR API.

If you desensitize the SSN, you are in effect granting near public access to a national database of all citizens, no? If you desensitize them, would it be an infringement on ones current rights if all state and local police and other law enforcement had access to a 3rd party collection of this national uniquely binding and certain form of id? Also, it would require a massive overhaul of credit dispersement, as well as the background check industry and many other systems. A much larger overhaul is required, if steps are not soon taken to formally regulate and monitor the storage and transfer of ssn's.

I don't know about the other artists, but there is a huge growth in the indie writer market. Surprise, who knew that removing middlemen improved the producer's income?

I am also seeing more-than-decent incomes in the esports community. People making thousands of dollars a month playing, or commenting, video games.

I think people are starting to discover that the way to get an income is to do something other people enjoy.
I think you're over estimating both the practicality of these attacks and the operations at the NSA. This just does not make sense to compute such an attack. Especially when they are other vulnerabilities, easier to find, and with much more efficient targeting. A debate about AES-128 vs AES-256 is useless when people are still using non-authenticated encryption, non cryptographic PRNGs, etc...

Other posters have made the same basic points I would have, so I'll just add that the logic of automation is so inexorable and one-way that there is no conceivable upside for the vast majority of people to compete to be the last to run out of cash.

Wow, what a beautiful tribute. I only discovered Miyazaki's stories last year but how I wish I had grown up with them! As an adult, I even enjoy his children's movies. This project captures the essence of some of his classics: a touch of heartwarming character in each vignette. And bringing them together is really a special presentation.

When you're the president of the United States, you need to speak precisely and choose words carefully. The stakes are a lot higher than when you're "talking to someone you respect."
I beg to differ.

1) there's the illustration of people ignoring a world Class violinist playing on the subway when dressed as a busker

2) there's a lot of superlative, good and very good art out there today. It means art is cheap.

3) art like sports has a log distribution of wealth and success. Only a very small minority of people will make money out of it, and a handful of people will make good money out of it. Even if you work extremely hard and constantly.

Take a look at the number of profiles of people on deviant art and the quality of work being put out, and then the prices and amount of money made.

It's the same for music.

Let's pretend food, clothing, and shelter (structure) can be made cost free due to automation/robots. Land itself right now is not free, it is either owned or rented. In either case people need an income to pay for that. Where does this income come from? Or, do you destroy land ownership? And if it's destroyed, how is it determined who lives where and how much they get if all land "costs" the same.

I think it is more trying to get across that having a family and personal constraints is not necessarily a barrier or an "excuse" to not starting up now.

Both parses of the English that Trump spoke and unfalsifiable.

Even the completely made up posts (eg "The Pope endorses Trump") are going to be extremely difficult to distinguish from a piece of actual breaking news.

An algorithm will end up having to look at the source - and yet many in this election campaign argue that many of the traditional media outlets post false news too.

I disagree with this: they may have their slant on news ("Trump did/not say Mexicans were rapists"), but they generally don't post complete fabrications.

I still aren't at all convinced that actual false news is a real problem - I'd say there was a much bigger issue with differing interpretations of events.

>The man was running for the President of the United States of America - to speak for all Americans, wherein his words carry incredible meaning.

There is no requirement that every word the President of the United States utters be clean-room engineered. Perhaps this is a value you hold important in a president, but that doesn't mean everyone else does. It seems that a lot of people are willing to consider context over soundbites.

>He called Mexicans coming to America rapists. Full Stop.

No, not "full stop". You can't just say this and expect people to ignore the context of the comments. You're asking people to discard important environmental information that would bridge the communication gap here for your political convenience. That's bad. The election is over now, so we can stop trying to scare minorities out of voting for Trump.

Many people believe that the context indicates Trump was referring only to a disproportionate quantity of Mexicans crossing the border illegally, not every Mexican in the world, nor every Mexican currently in the United States. You are clearly convinced that this is the incorrect interpretation, but that doesn't mean it's implausible. It just means you don't want to like Trump. If you did, you'd give him the benefit of the doubt, because there is a perfectly viable pathway for an interested party to do so.

>You guys are using a lot of gymnastics to try to defend what is a point-blank, obvious-as-the-sky-is-blue racist, bigoted and terrible statement.

No, it's not gymnastics. Again, you can't just say "Stop thinking about everything else, please focus exclusively on my soundbite in isolation, I've carefully stripped it for optimal damage". People are merely aware of the topic Trump was addressing and the vernacular in common use. This is all that's needed to understand that Trump was referring to a specific subset of illegal immigrants, not addressing a nationality as a whole.

If you consider making simple logical connections between the subject of a speech and the statements made within that speech a mental triple-tuck-standing-backflip, it doesn't reflect well on you.

>If you can't stop yourself from calling an entire nation of people 'racists' - if it requires explaining or context - then you should not be running for PUSA.

It doesn't require explanation or context. The media extracted his words from their original context and distorted their meaning because they wanted people to hate and fear him as they do. The people who are repeating this on their behalf are being intentionally obtuse and pretending like they can't understand that Trump was referring to Mexican nationals who illegally enter US territory because he used the contextual shorthand "Mexicans" instead of repeating the full phrase "Mexican nationals entering US territory illegally" for soundbite-proof-ness. Trump is a smart business man and knows that people hate voting for robotic or false-feeling figures. Making yourself sound like a law textbook to avoid criticism from people who'd never vote for you in the first place is not a winning strategy.
I believe "focussed" is acceptable, although "focused" is preferred in the US.[1][2]

Having dealt with some what similar datasets myself, there is a really, really good chance that the police department grabbed a days of arrests from one or two cities.

Great point.

I was looking at education tech, and I think education is not a "solvable problem".

Retention and mastery Remain the two ends of the success spectrum.

But where a student lies on that spectrum depends on a lot of variables, several of which directly link to economic outcomes in the nation such as

1) nutrition levels of parent and grand parent (in particular female education)

2) nutrition availability

3) average household wealth

4) child labor (more importantly - the necessity for children to work to keep the family unit going)

5) country stability (no war is an obvious one)

6) teacher quality and school funding

These in turn impact very personal variables that determine how students codify information such as

1) student age (children vs an adult who needs to retrain while keeping a family afloat)

2) learning style

3) mastery of language of education, and mastery of the language of higher education (multi language societies have to Deal with this)

4) stress

5) health and health availability

6) freedom to study (if you are a girl child, or
Of the wrong tribe/caste/color/religion)

And this doesn't account for many other variables such as people actively trying to teach you falsehoods or bad syllabi (sort of part of the education quality)

And this entire system does not exist in a vaccum - parents tend to push kids into education streams which improve job options, hence the demand for STEM.

Autonomous Shipping Containers – Self-Driving Cars – Medium
Zero-rating was recently made illegal in Canada. Previously, Bell was giving away 10 hours of streaming video on their service with all plans, even when their reasonably priced plans only offered 500MB of data. The CRTC came back and told them that if they wanted to make their video service viable, they had to do it by making data in general actually reasonably priced rather than giving their own services giant discounts.

It was briefly unpopular as some people lost the zero-rated services they were used to, but it is a good policy to increase Internet bandwidth in general.

wow, cynical much?

sometimes you manager is actually trying to help you, sure it's not purely altruistic but is anything? you own the burden of responsibility for achieving your dreams, your manager is merely a facilitator that can sometimes help you achieve that. when you delegate your future, it's your fault.

"I want to learn more about forecasting models". Understand that your manager has many contradicting tensions and they are trying to balance them all. Is this delivering business value or aligned with company goals? It's ok if not, but expect other things to keep being prioritised over it. How many growth opportunities did you find that were denied, or did you not find any?

Take responsibility for yourself.

Maybe autonomous containers could also be capable of transferring cargo to smaller autonomous delivery cars, then we'd have a full routing delivery network, that could deliver any package from a point of source to a point of destination for a low fee.

Next, we'd make automated factories that load materials and unload products by robot into the autonomous delivery containers. By organizing the factories as APIs, we could compile a complex product from a series of processes executed by various factories. It all works out because of the standard containerization and routing.

To make an analogy to the computer - the transport network is the bus, the storage warehouses are the memory, and industrial robotics are the CPU. We've been manually compiling in assembler our products so far, but we could use higher order languages to define physical products and to share code between products.

This would make it possible to attempt bootstrapping - a self reproducing (distributed) automated factory. If it works on renewable energy and common materials that are found in abundance in nature, it could mean a reduction in costs of production to zero.
Seems like a lot of context switching.
How to calculate a nation state’s election result in your bedroom
I'd note that they claim 89.5% accuracy(!) using the CNN classifier. One paper they reference[1] use a similar technique to attempt the (seemingly much easier) task of classifying people into Chinese, Korean or Japanese. They get 75% accuracy.

89% accuracy means that there is almost no other feature that influences criminality.

That should set off all kinds of alarms. If there was some kind of relationship between facial features and criminality (and I don't discount that there could be) I'd expect it to be a very weak one, not one that is accurate 9/10 times.

Years ago, when Google+ was first launched, you had to enter your birth date to create a Google+ profile. But my friends and I were under 13 at the time, and a few friends had their accounts disabled due to their age. There was a minor fuss about this online, including from people who had accidentally clicked the wrong birth date. (Though they did re-enable accounts if you sent them ID or made a $0.05 credit card purchase.)

As for me, though, I was terrified at the thought that my account could have been disabled, had I entered my actual birth date. Even back then, I had a fair amount of data stored on my Google account. The incident was enough to get me to start downloading data from Google Takeout once in a while.

It's been a while since my last backup, though. I hope this incident serves as a wake-up call to both me and everybody who "owns" a Google account. I also wish that Google would allow at least some disabled accounts to download their data from Takeout: that would make me feel just a little bit safer.
