If I was designing policy?

Really all I'm talking about is not defunding/sidelining Arts etc "because it's not financially viable".

The idea is really to provide a well rounded education, (giving students a broader perspective on the world, a stronger vocabulary for expressing ideas, etc), as opposed to a purely career focused one. I think it would be detrimental to culture and society in general if everyone was groomed from high-school to only ever consider the safe, paved, career footpath.

This may take the form of allowing for more electives in vocational courses, encouragement to take double degrees, or eliminating barriers for later study (letting people change their minds, or even just reskilling when the robots take over).

What I was meant by "subsidisation" is just the "somewhat" free education that exists in some places today, but has been more prevalent/widespread in the past. And while prioritising vocational degrees is fine to some extent, crippling participation in the Arts by making those qualifications prohibitively expensive (by not providing loans) is a bad idea imo.
Yes, that would be OpenCL/SPIR-V. But you still need to put in the work to optimise convolution kernels for specific hardware.

TF has openCL support in the works, AFAIK outsourced to Codeplay - https://www.codeplay.com/portal/tensorflow%E2%84%A2-for-open...

Caffe has an OpenCL branch, works on AMD but about quarter of the speed of equivalent NVidia hardware using CuDNN 4/5, mostly due to unoptimised kernels - https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/tree/opencl

Why do they all show a text editor containing either JS or PHP code?

Curious, honestly.
Yes, it has saved my behind several times.

My requirements are pretty simple: has to work well on windows + mac, has to be cloud based, have decent bandwidth, unlimited storage, unlimited retention, and has to and require no configuration of my own apart from selecting files and schedules.

I just haven't found anything with the level of polish that CrashPlan has in terms of UI and usability.
To avoid having all eggs in one basket I try to keep at least a mirror of everything too, e.g. on a NAS.

I have been a DataHoarder kind of guy in the past (dabbled with my own backup scripts, etc.) but found that the chance of user error on my part is probably an order of magnitude greater than the risk of losing data any other way - and with user error there is always the risk that you also bork your backups. So I don't want any system that has any kind of complex configuration on my part.

Further, I don't want to separate the storage from the backup, simply because buying unlimited cloud storage is to expensive. I don't need fast random access storage, I need something cheap like glacier, but that quickly becomes comples. So I'm very happy to hide that complexity behind a cloud backup provider that gives unlimited retention and storage.
Likely because it emerged after people had washed their hands of the whole mess.
XFCE. I neither particularly like it or dislike it, but it works well enough out of the box (with Xubuntu) that I can get to work and don't feel the need to spend any time fiddling with or re-configuring it.

The soft spot in my heart for "simple genius" remains WebOS. Palm WebOS prefigured pretty much the last 5 years of "innovations" in both android and ios.

I pay around $10/mo for a music subscription, $10/mo for a video subscription. I'd also be happy to pay $10/mo for a news subscription, but then I need to get more than one publication, like my all-access music subscription.

The NY Times alone is $15/mo, WaPo is another $10, local news - $10, the Economist is $15/mo, the WSJ is something like $30/mo, FT also $30/mo

If I were to pay my way through all the paywalls I see in a month, I'd probably be paying over $100/mo for news alone!

Nixon was pardoned before he was indicted. So legally, there's definitely precedent for Obama's ability to pardon Snowden. He just doesn't want to.

From the article:
> When Obama said he "can't" pardon Snowden he may have meant he "won't" do it, unless circumstances change. Presidents have historically issued pardons even when no court or prosecutor has taken action, which was pointed out by Noa Yachot, who directs the Pardon Snowden campaign.

> "The president can pardon anyone," wrote Yachot. "Richard Nixon hadn’t even been indicted when Gerald Ford issued a 'full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in' over the course of his presidency.

On a much smaller scale, I published a small change to a WordPress plugin I develop called Thank Me Later. Unfortunately, I had used a closure which was only supported by PHP 5.3 and above. At the time, there were still a large number of users using WordPress with PHP 4.something. Being such a small change that couldn't possibly cause any harm, I got on the train and was away from the computer. An hour or so later, I opened my email inbox full of messages like "Help! My website is down", etc. I estimated I knocked at least 100 websites offline.

Those are very old numbers trying to estimate the total size of the bailout, and the total potential downside. They aren't trying to estimate the actual net cost, nor are they trying to compare it to the total potential downside of the alternatives.

So it's technically right, in a sense (or it was when it was written last decade), but it isn't trying to answer the question you're asking, it's horribly outdated, and it's larded with weasel words.

"[T]hese guarantees could have potentially cost the federal government more than $3 trillion..." but actually didn't. "[T]he government's potential exposure from the PPIF is between $500 million and $1 trillion..." but they ended up turning a profit on it. "As of December 21, 2009, $117.5 billion of that has been repaid..." and subsequently the rest of it was too. "The Treasury has bought $200 million in preferred stock from Fannie Mae" and then ended up quasi-nationalizing it and has since been making a hefty profit on it.

And so on, and so forth. What the report shows is that the financial crisis had enormous potential price tags attached to it, but the bills never ended up coming due. Whether that was luck or skill remains to be shown. :)

> the real cost of the bailout was much, much higher

No. You can argue about the true underlying risks, and the proper risk adjusted interest rate to nominally charge when lending government funds to a quasi-government entity with an effective government guarantee, and the option value of the bailout, and you can argue that it, on balance, cost a few billion, or quite a few billion, or maybe even turned a profit. I think the CBO scored it at $60 billion a while back; I'd lean towards the "cost a couple hundred billion" answer, but it's ultimately too complicated a question to ever really have an answer. Especially if you try and estimate the cost compared to some other policy. :)

Having done some shots similar to this...

You have code on the screen. Someone goes: "is that confidential/does it disclose a client/does it disclose any operational security issues/does it have too many swear words" so you go through it all and check. I don't think I've ever found an issue, but.... you have to check. So you do it.

Then they do another shot. So you do it again.

Then by the third time you start going "can you use that shot you took last time"?

Education makes extensive use of debt factoring for risky loans.

Factoring is selling client debt at a discount for instant cash. The financial institutions that buy the debt are usually responsible for collecting unless they decide to pass it around again.

So in a sense, universities are sort covered against losses from that kind of debt, not students.
Woman, prosecuted for selling $12 of ceviche on Facebook, now faces trial
A healthy and future ready society needs an educated and literate population. From that it becomes a social goal and a social good with multi generational run off effects that can't be measured in pure short term economics.

That one of the richest countries in the world should shy away from this responsibility is a bit galling, more so because it seems to be purely so that bankers can make some money.

You can't have a country purely of corporations and workers and the US has been moving in this dubious and dystopic direction for decades now. You need to build a society or everyone loses, eventually.

Crisis and Openings: Introduction to Marxism – Richard D Wolff (2012)
Conceptually, I think it is a horrifying yet good idea.

But it definitely needs a mechanism to better handle the images themselves. I think snapchat or whatever has a mechanism to (attempt to) prevent screenshots and to delete the images after a criteria is met (time limited, if memory serves)? An open source solution on a trusted server would help a lot with this.

Getting more in to institutional solutions here (and if the loan seekers were able to be approved by those they wouldn't need it), but I could see something like:

1. Seeker and Lender agree to terms. Specifically interest rates and minimum payment requirements.

2. Seeker takes photo and uploads to service.

3. Seeker then uses service to blur out particularly sensitive portions while leaving face visible. Lender sees that image exists, and either approves or requests a different blurring to ensure body shaming will be sufficient

4. Seeker must then register all payments with service (bitcoin would actually be a great solution to this, funny enough). If service does not recognize sufficient payment being made by all dates, image is sent, unblurred, to lender to use as they see fit

5. Once terms of loan are complete, image is deleted. This is the biggest problem as we know the data won't be deleted, if only because getting it out of all the back-ups is a huge hassle.
Sure it will.

Part of it is the personal appeal of the Christian message of community, service and selflessness. Part of it is a personal feeling of spirituality and connection to people and the universe. Part of it is certainly cultural, if I'd been born in a Muslim country to Muslim parents I don't see any reason why I'd be anything other than Muslim myself, but then I'm ok with that. Same goes for Judaism, or Hinduism. My faith is a completely subjective experience, I don't give it objective weight or feel any need or desire to push it on anyone else. In that sense I'm a secularist.

> So why do you think the proposition that polls were systematically biased is so unserious?

Two reasons. One, and the most obvious one is that the polls weren't very far off. They had the average amount of polling error that there has been (according to what 538 said on their podcast). The polls indicated a 3-4 point national lead, and she ended up with a ~1 point national lead. The second is that polling agencies have their reputations and there hasn't been any indication from wikileaks that there was any tampering or attempted tampering.

I got the impression that's a claim about identifying engineered attacks, rather than about making them easier to perform.

Granted it's been a while since I closely followed the field, but to the best of my knowledge, no one's made significant headway in synthetic organisms since JCVI's initial "hey we invented a prokaryote" splash a few years back. I doubt anyone actually in the field would make a claim to a news organization that access to sequence data would be the highest bar to clear in producing novel engineered pathogens.

On the other hand, also to the best of my knowledge, gene editing techniques leave behind traces which are pretty readily identifiable in sequencing results. So the statement makes a lot more sense in that direction. It's just that the article is poorly edited in a way that produces semantic ambiguity.

> Most people would say this. But then when it comes time to get out their credit card and buy a subscription - they don't actually follow through.

Because the price is too high. Ads pay $1/thousand impressions. Subscriptions go for around $10/month. Convert to the same units, and it'd be something like $10/hundred impressions, or 100x the price.

The numbers are, of course, far from exact, but correct in terms of order of magnitude.

Bring the price down. Use micro payments, use bundling, use yearly subscriptions. At these prices, ads are the best user proposition and there'll be no uptake from subscriptions.
This is true but irrelevant - it's Mutually Assured Destruction unless they reaffirm the contract, since both AMD and Intel would literally have to stop producing x86_64 chips without it. There is no way that Intel would allow that, their business would go into freefall.
