The problem I see with the scheme applied universally is indeed this -- the "shame factor" is relative.

First thing I thought of (ala another comment) is that those openly engaged in the nudist lifestyle for instance might not give two flips about nude photo "collateral". To be honest, I can imagine other individuals (lifestyle or not) in at least the US would have a similar attitude. I cannot say as much about other cultures but I have a hunch the same applies to many Western nations.

So, if you're in a position where you give no flips about a nude photo, you have every incentive to take the money and run. Doubly so in fact for taking advantage of what IMHO is kind of a creepy sounding scheme.
Until you need access to a feature that the latest version of the tool doesn't support, so you have to jump through hoops to find and download an old version and attempt to get it to run on a newer unsupported version of OS X. I see no good reason not to just provide a web interface which enables you to configure the router from any computer with a web browser.
It's much more plausible to an outsider that the bikini version is the photoshopped one though.
Blacks are disproportionally policed, leading to higher likelyhoods of being accused of a crime.
Blacks are convicted more often than white people arrested for the same crime.
When black people are convicted of a crime, they are more likely to be sentenced to incarceration compared to whites convicted of the same crime.
Blacks generally get harsher sentences when compared to whites who've commited the same crime.

Speaking for myself

I don't hate cooking meals

I hate all the fuzz around it - getting ingredients - do I buy "organic"? is that expensive? how cheap should I go?; finding the right recipes - how do I compare 20 different ones from the web? Which are more healthy? Dietary recommendations are all over the place - high carb / low carb / high fat / low fat / vegan / paleo / I don't know what all is there.; finding out what I forgot to buy, throwing out the old stuff that are starting to rot in my fridge, then spending another hour cleaning all the mess...

The cooking part is - at least for me - always the easiest - just follow the recipe. I hate the worrying before and after.
This is something that's been bugging me for years.

Why are there multiple representations of alphabet characters in Unicode? It seems reasonable to include accent marks, but what's the benefit in having a Cyrillic 'o' alongside a standard 'o' or the 2 or 3 other ASCII-lookalike sets of characters?
It's about the ecosystem. in fact, it's about the perception of the ecosystem.

All of the changes - decaying Mac Pro, mediocre gimmicky MBP, end of this, end of that, confusion over Titan, Watch, which no one cares about - all suggest that Apple has lost the concept of brand and product synergy.

It looks trivial but it's actually fatal, because it undermines the perception that when you buy Apple you're buying Special.

Now you're just buying. And when a company is selling overpriced commodity hardware, it absolutely needs to convince its customers that it's offering more than that.

I hope they still make an airplay device that can take over for my Airport express.
But how do you do that? Race is baked into a lot of the attributes your classifier is going to find informative. Is someone a good credit risk? To decide, you look at features like past payment history, available balance, zip code, etc.

Past payment history: if you're black, prior discriminatory behaviors may have limited your ability to open credit accounts, and thus you have less history to go on. Available balance has the same reasoning. Zip code correlates with race.

I'd hope very few people are including an "is_black" feature in their classifiers. If you eliminate anything that is informative towards race though, you're likely going to have a classifier that doesn't work very well.

The problem is that we have datasets that have arisen from a history that included significant racism, both overt and latent. There is no way to separate those effects from the data. You either get an "optimal" classifier that is racially biased in ways we don't want, or you get one that intentionally gives up some perceived performance in favor of fairness.
I'm pretty sure they'll be overwhelmed by going after larger fish and nothing will ever come of it for such a small amount.

I don't think it's fair to say that the clientele of troyhunt.com have expressed anything - all we can say for sure is that some individual took it upon themselves to specifically categorise the sponsorship message as an advert in EasyList.

For what it's worth, I'm an occasional reader of the site, and until today I'd never seen the sponsorship message, or known that it existed, primarily because I have assumed good faith on the parts of the maintainers of EasyList - which assumption, it transpires, was a little misplaced. I think, underneath the understandable annoyance, this is the issue that Troy Hunt is getting at.

I'm really not sure why you're getting downvotes. If I could go back and change my education path, I'd absolutely go the community college route for two years then complete my education at state college.

What do you think is the best router for general home use, given your security expertise?
Not really a fan of oracle at all, but I have to congratulate the Dyn folks for how far they came from a dormroom server at WPI. I had the pleasure of spending a short summer internship there, and it was a formative experience. They had not only great engineering but also some of the most impressive sysadmin / ops people I've known. Especially the network stuff is a dying art these days.

it "looks" a lot better than it did, but I have no idea what is going on. Used to play around with the old version quite a lot when bored at work :)

I guess I was just used to how it worked before, this re-design of multiple full screen views is confusing, couldn't figure out how to get things to play, quick live edits don't seem possible now either.

Making a meal is a science. Making a good, balanced, healthy meal is something everyone should know but I don't think everyone is willing to do so. It takes time, practice and patience.

I've seen a lot of dubious "US election result proves us right about..." takes but the idea that the last US election was a step forward for ideas like "governance through code", "diminished national identity" and the potential for crowds to provide reliable fact checking services has to be the weirdest yet.
also couldn't get it to work in FF, just sits at loading, even though had turned off ublock / noscript / privacybadger and had to load up chrome.

Exactly. Speaking from experience, I've had the opportunity to run the same machine learning job on a 12-core Intel Xeon E5-2650 server and a workstation with a 8-core AMD FX 8350 which cost less than 400€ to put together, and the AMD FX 8350 workstation finished the job slightly faster (some minutes in a 2-hour job). Granted, it was only anecdotal evidence, but the Xeon server cost 5 times more than the AMD workstation and gets the same performance.

Sometimes people need to pay attention to real-world performance, and price/performance ratios. Blindly parroting that Intel's offering is best is just idiocy, and one which is tied to a hefty price tag.
Nintendo chose nvidia for their next generation console. Going to be arm of all things.
A lot of this fuzz would be tempered as you become more accustomed to cooking. In some ways what you're describing is similar to picking up a new computer language or learning a new system. Once you've been through the decision tree enough times, you've built yourself a well-worn path.

If cooking is something you're interested in picking up, I'd recommend starting simply. Pick a couple of meals (maybe a breakfast and a dinner). Get used to them, then start cooking variations, then move on to other dishes. I'll admit, I can be satisfied eating the same meal on a regular basis. And this doesn't prevent you from going out, either.

I've heard of people having good success with the Ti Ferriss' "The Four-Hour Chef". I'm sure there are other good references, either bound or online.
I assume that was sarcasm, right?
Looks to be a corner case not covered by existing tests prior to now.

“This release contains a bug fix about Refinements and Module#prepend. The mixture use of Module#refine and Module#prepend to the same Class could cause unexpected NoMethodError. This is a regression on Ruby 2.3.2 released last week. See [Bug #12920] for details.”

Presumably it was discovered in the wild, fixed, test cases written, and that fix was pushed. Time taken: 6 days. https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/news/2016/11/15/ruby-2-3-2-rele...

What's wrong with encoding the status quo? Why do we have to encode progressive extremism into computer models?

Being progressive for the sake of "going forward" sounds like misguided idealism. What do we do when progressive computer models lead us down a harmful path, do we simply play the typical liberal blame game and point fingers everywhere else while digging our head into sand?
Thanks for the context. Half of me still wants to shake my head and go "kids these days" but I get the time-and-energy thing. My son just turned 8 and as part of his "annual review" (privilege/responsibility conversation we have around his birthday every year where he gets a slightly later bedtime and bigger chores)we added a chore to do the shopping, prepare and cook a meal once a week (with help, of course). I sincerely hope this isn't a problem he has when he gets older.
The resonance appears to decrease with cutoff frequency because of high pass filtering in the feedback loop of the 303 filter... Higher frequencies have more feedback and thus more resonance.

The envmod knob also affects both the max and min cutoff values from the main envelope generator.. that part is tricky - the envmod and cutoff knobs are exponentially tapered, but the filter control circuit also contains an exponentiator so the sweep is sort of doubly exponential but its hard to tell the difference.
This is a really good article, I referred to it a lot when working with Lua and Redis. Like a lot of people, I really admire antirez. The pragmatism he displayed choosing Lua was exceptional imo:

>> I think that for what we need Lua beats everybody else hands down. The language is not one that I particularly like, compared to Ruby for instance, but who cares? We are programmers and can code a short script in any language we want, but the point is, Lua is a wonderful implementation. Easy to embed, without even a configure script, like Redis! And FAST.[1]

How to Login and Check Emails in Office 365
> Also: don't most people get their wireless service from their cable router now?

I think this is the key part: thinking about my friends and family, over the last few years everyone has switched to using the box which came from their ISP except for a few IT people and gamers.

This is generally a good thing since the ISPs are significantly more likely to install security updates, and WiFi speeds exceeded the average home internet connection somewhere around a decade ago so the benefits to buying your own are fairly limited for most people.
Nice work! Web Audio has come on a lot.

ABL3 still sounds better to me, but it's no surprise, Mike (the guy who wrote it) has made analog emulation his obsession for years.

Also, if you're in the market for actual analog hardware, I picked one of these up earlier this year, great juicy sounding little box, cheap as chips.

The scope of someone going to college for say 40 years (from 20-60, for sake of argument) is a lot different than saying 4 years of education should maybe be an institutionalized cost. If you figure:

1. At 12K/year, base education runs a cost of 156K
2. At 20K/year, college education for 4 years runs 80K
3. At 20K/year, college education for 40 years runs 800K

Then what we're saying is 80K represents 50% of the educational costs we're all comfortable with sinking into base education. But letting someone never work and just go to college for free for 40 years would cost over 400% of the base educational costs. That seems like a totally different scale of issue to me. We're also probably hitting diminishing returns over what 4 years would prepare someone for, and I don't think the audience is that large. Most people want to go to college to get skills to then contribute something to society, whether or not today's economy specifically values what they want to contribute.

The programming model for GPUs isn't great - since they aren't general purpose platforms you have to keep thinking about moving data around between the GPU memory and the main memory.

Intel could bypass that and end up with an easier programming model. But.. believe it when you see it.

Note that this is almost entirely about deep learning though. Non DL machine learning is mostly done on CPUs at the moment (with a few exceptions) and generally performs adequately. More speed is always nice, but you don't hear a lot of complaints about XGBoost's speed, or FastText, or VopalWabbit, or the various FTL regression algorithms implemented on CPUs.
I switched to AirPorts because they're plug and forget. I just want something that works with my other Apple gear. Doubly so when I'm doing tech support for friends and family.

$200 is reasonable, compared to all the time I've spent farting with other brands of WiFi routers, including whatever piece of crap my ISP sent me. Now what's the no-brainer WiFi router choice? ASUS something, Ubiquity (sp?)? Read some reviews, order what seems the best, marvel at the weird new mutant feature set... Oops, that's another afternoon wasted.

Oh darn, my offbrand WiFi router had another security exploit, 6 months ago, and I just found out. And so forth.

Hopefully the silver lining is Apple is anticipating metro WiFi (WiMax?), though I wish they were helping drive that transition. Like I had hoped Google was... Oh well.
Any idea what happens to those of us that have legacy lifetime accounts for supporting Dyn in the early days?
I feel like the extreme decentralization people just ignore human nature which history has revealed time and time again.

The wild west no existing power structure idea is great until some entity inevitably comes along and controls it and its not so decentralized anymore. Decentralization exists when a small enough community can be self-policing and actors have noble goals. That all changes when you get a single bad actor who takes advantage off their weaknesses and well-meaning nature and controls the new system (see Mancur Olson's 1993 article on roving bandits). Or look at Gilded Age America or numerous political leaders who have consolidated power out of chaos, or the Bitcoin mining system which is controlled by a very small set of miners.

This is even worse in the blockchain system because it's so intrinsically tied to wealth. It makes the entire community centered around making money. Goodbye, critical thinking? And despite all the emphasis centered on democratizing democracy, overly simple systems have been manipulated and argued against since at least Plato. But here we are 2500 years later building systems that are just as simplistic in their assumptions about human nature.

Ethereum is the defacto dictator of their ecosystem and they've exercised that right several times. So how free is it?

If Agile software development (SD) had never been invented, we’d probably have little reason to talk about DevOps. However, there is an intriguing corollary worth pondering, as well: the rise of DevOps has made Agile SD viable.
Agile is a development methodology based on principles that embrace collaboration and constant feedback as the pillars of its iterative process, allowing features to be developed faster and in alignment with what businesses and users need. However, operations today are generally moving at a pace that’s still geared toward sequential waterfall processes. As Agile SD took off, new pressures and challenges began building to address delivering new code into test, quality assurance, and production environments as quickly as possible without losing visibility and quality.
We define DevOps simply as the culture, principles, and processes that automate and streamline the end-to-end flow from code development to delivering the features/changes to users in production. Without DevOps, Agile SD is a powerful tool but with a prominent limitation—it fails to address software delivery. As with other soft‐ ware development processes, Agile stops when production deployment begins, opening a wide gap between users, developers, and the operations team because the features developed for a time-boxed sprint won’t be deployed to production until the scheduled release goes out, often times many months later. DevOps enhances Agile SD by filling this critical gap, bridging operations and development as a unified team and process.
Most devs I know not in .net are not gonna jump for this reason. It's so similar to what I can get from Python and Scala and Java... Why would I want to touch the Microsoft ecosystem?

Seems like it will take 10 or 15 years for a new round of college students to switch over.. so it has to be a very long term play.

Hi Aoyagi,

I work at Google, and I would like to take a look at what happens to your account during login. The situation that you are describing sounds surprising to me.

If yes, then could you provide a contact point so I may contact you with my corporate credentials (corporate e-mail) to verify myself?
DYN did a lot more than just Authoritative DNS. They did monitoring that then would facilitate a failover to different hosting environments, creating a quick active active or active passive failover depending on your configuration. They offered this with a complete web GUI that had permission controls that were granular so newer techs or less technical employees could login and manage just a single record or series of records.

Not to mention their solutions are very fast.

I'm not aware of any other dns host that does all of this.
This looks really great for discoverability that works within the web platform already, without the need for inventing a new format [0].

However, I'm not sure if this goes far enough. There exist some formats for describing what APIs can do in natural language, though I'm not convinced that they're really that useful [1][2].

True, I should've clarified that.

Those who've joined the beta waiting list (by entering their e-mail address on the homepage) should get in within days. But I also don't want to rush things and break functionality, so I'm still being careful here.
> Why can't you be free to join a union while also allowing the employer the freedom to fire you? This isn't binary.

Answering this would inevitably leads us down a never ending philosophical discussion ("What is freedom? Is it an act of freedom to fire someone if it's made possible by an institution based on servitude?") that's subjective anyway.

> Although I did explicitly state that the message was meant to be pro-union

You're first paragraph is so obviously anti-worker that I've assumed your pro-union stance to be false.

> I don't quite understand where you are even going here?

I made a punt based on previous experiences with people discussing in a pseudo-philosophical manner. My bad.
I use one (Time Capsule), and have used them for years. They have a pretty convincing value add story... let alone the fact that I also have a few Express stations around the place for music streaming.
I've encountered some NuGet packages with the prefix runtime.win7-arm., so I think .NET Core has got support for Windows 10 IOT since the very beginning.
If Oracle rebrands the tech they'll likely tell you the DYN products are being abandoned and you need to start paying for the new oracle branded stuff.

Time to switch if you care about your service.
I actually appreciate the structured scaling and it's probably a good choice. Seems like a useful service, for sure!
Amazon adds FIFO feature to its Queue Service
Now, this is his first offence, but a young man is found high on PCB walking down the street hitting cars with a baseball bat. It takes five cops and a significant struggle to arrest him.

Having read that, what would you assume is race and economic background is?

After criminal proceedings he was sentenced to community service.

Now, what would you assume is race and economic background is?

PS: Bias is insidious and really hard to control for.
Absolutely!

This only applies if you used Dyn as a DNS provider with DDoS protection, not if you've used any of their failover capacity.

Having said that, I also don't think people should rush to get away from Dyn. Take your time, evaluate the buy and see where the service goes in a few months. If nothing changes for you, why even bother changing?

They will probably not go after anyone who made less than like $500. Remember each time they go after someone it costs them money too.
