If you explicitly want to move into deep learning, I'd start with Python, since it has excellent math libraries (pandas/scipy) and neural libraries (keras).
From my interpretation they are logging the IP address and ports data transfered from.

So theoretically if you transfer data from insert bad orgs IP address here from within another innocent website you'd be logged for that.
They can't record the pages if the request is over https, as per most web sites these days. The IP address is known because it's necessary for routing traffic, but the content of each HTTP request and response is encrypted, and that's where the rest of the URL lives.

I do wonder (perhaps naively) whether this is a genuine misunderstanding of the argument for privacy/encryption or something more malicious. Is it that politicians haven't spent enough time thinking about this or are they willfully ignorant of the wrongness of their argument?
Copy of a Comment Elsewhere:

I don't have anything to hide- but a malicious attacker could easily cause me to.

Step One: Maliciously cause the target to click on a link or open a url (Phishing, Exploit, RFE, XSS etc)

Step Two: With JS, one can easy introduce HTTP connections to any number of websites, such as maybe the Talibans official website (They have one!), Google Searches for (to think of a few) "Gaziantep Places to Stay", "Turkey Flights", "Opposition to the Kuffar at home", "Dabiq Magazine", "how to join the Khalifah" etc

This could easily be done in a realisic appearing manner, especially to ISP/GCHQ filters and alerts.

Step Three: If any of this tallies with any physical activity (Let's say the target wanted to go Clay Pigeon Shooting, or Visited a Gun Club because he has in interest in .22 target shooting), then they have a case.

Sure, it's defendable, and this is a really simplistic example. But it's basically ruined the target's life.

Remember, it's probably not the "Government" doing this, as this info will be leaked.
Please sign https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/173199 to help get rid of this disgusting invasion of privacy.

Same could be said to a lesser extent about the US.
It'd be great if the UK had a written constitution. But let's also be realistic here. The US also has a written constitution and the NSA has a database exactly like this one anyway, and such databases are also available to a mishmash of random law enforcement bodies. The constitution didn't help.

Also, the UK is signed up to the ECHR which theoretically guarantees a right to privacy. It's sort of like the US Bill of Rights except useless, because it was drafted by Europeans so every right has a giant get-out clause. In this case the so-called "right" to privacy exists only as long as it doesn't conflict with the "needs of a democratic society". That sort of thing crops up all the time in this document.

It's not sufficient to have a constitution. It must have teeth as well.
This may just be a reflection of the fact that signing petitions (especially online ones) achieves very little. Sure you might get a debate in parliament about it but that debate could involve a handful of MPs and take a few minutes, concluding that everything is fine.

This has already been debated extensively in parliament, and got voted through.
> You can think of investment bankers as salespeople.

I agree. That's exactly how I think of bankers.

You actually have the same problem come up with other sales people too. If I'm buying a $100 million product from you, I'm probably buying it with other people's money.

I don't care that $5 million of that is going towards the sales person's bonus, taking me out to dinner, etc. I'd rather pay $100 million and have you buy me a $1000 steak dinner than pay $95 million and not even get a birthday card. Of course I want my HBS classmate to handle my account.

From the source code it looks like brew uses a UUID generated locally (e.g. from a source like /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid). I don't see how it could be correlated with anything in the browser.

Clash dubplates are traditionally cut at the original studio by the original producer, by request of the sound system. I suppose it depends on your definition of "producer". I'd consider the role of a clash selector as part DJ, part A&R - as much as anything, their skill is for identifying talent and making the connections required to get exclusive dubs cut.

Rodigan is such a dominant figure in the clash scene because of the mutual respect between him and the Jamaican music scene. He can get dubs that no-one else can, because he has served Jamaican music faithfully over many decades. Through thick and thin, he promoted Jamaican music in Britain and internationally.

His career speaks more broadly to the vital role that DJs play in musical culture. DJs are the link between artists and audiences. They curate, they encourage, they introduce. What they do in the booth is the product of their work, not the work itself.

A mortgage is not creating wealth. You are merely borrowing against your future revenues. The house is merely used a collateral.

The only way you can release this wealth is by selling it and moving to live in a cheaper place. But to a family who lives in London, always had and has no plan to leave, this is only theoretical wealth. It doesn't really say much about wealth inequality between different cities or countries.

I'd rather have the driver "see through" the environment than the car, resembling something I long wished cars would have something to the effect of this HUD[0] from GR:AW, where the road boundaries would be delimited and highlighted, the car projected trajectory and braking/safety distance markers, as well as other vehicles and pedestrians being pinpointed, or even outlined through fog/night/objects. Obviously, nav waypoints and path-to-take trail too, and why not an indicator not too dissimilar to Forza's braking lines helper[0] that goes red when you're going too fast.

The fact that computers are committing multiple trades in a fraction of second to make tiny profits does not mean that they are screwing you out of every 10th of a cent. In fact, my intuition is that you would be worse off without them because whoever you're trading with would be making big profits rather than tiny profits. It's the competition between computers that makes that profit so small.

The short answer is what they do is not trading -- it is skimming. I call it legalized theft. High-frequency trading is a tax on investors, encouraged by the exchanges, allowed by the SEC. It is prima facie proof that something is amiss.

I am thankful for living in the "information age" and for the effort of the people making it reality.

Once I spent my holiday trakking in Turkey and was reading HN during a pause on a mountain. I stumbled upon the link https://sivers.org/book. I used my kindle to by some books about stoism and read them on my jurney. In English, which I mainly practice on online forums. I came back home with a different view of life. Now I know that happines is not measured in the PS of my car, the area of my flat, my bank balance or the jealousy of neighbours. OK, a high bank balance is still a fine thing but I stopped caring about the rest. And I become a better person.

This couldn't have happened without the "information age" being reality.

The problem I see is not the computational power required for implementing the DPI, but the storage capacity and bandwidth required to implement retention for upo to a year. Lets assume that ISPs were applying a data cap of, let's say 200GiB/month. MTU for Ethernet is 1500 octets, with PPPoE it's 1480. IP Headers are at least 17 octets, so around 1% overhead for a optimally utilized connection. In that situation this gives about 2GiB/month of IP header data. Even if you strip that down to just the source/destination address that would still leave you with 800MiB/(customer·month) of data. That's the bottom baseline you have to provision for.

Of course your typical TCP stream is highly redundant and even simple RLE compression will cut that. But ISPs have to provision for the worst case. Currently there are about 60M internet users in the UK.

That would amount to about 536PiB/year of retention data to be provisioned for (worst case). And even if due to redundancies you can compress that down in practice that's still a lot of harddisks to keep around just to store the bare minimum (who with whom, but without context) of a whole country's internet traffic metadata (about 100k HDDs).

That's a significant investment that's expected from ISPs to be implemented in a very short timespan.
I heard good things about NordVPN and ExpressVPN. I've been using PIA for a year and it's about to expire - hence trying to decide what is next!

Advantages of a service seem to be location switching, good apps, cheap, and IP mixing.

Disadvantages are that you have to trust them not to keep logs, and lots of Cloudflare captchas, and they would seem like a good target for being compromised by the government.
I recall there being an article here a month or so ago about this actual takeover. Basically Aixtron had this large customer in China, but at the last moment, un-expectantly, they cancelled the order. Therefore Aixtron shares plummeted and then this investment fund comes in to buy them out. The article also found that there was a hidden connection between the customer and the investment fund and that both used state money.

So there is definitely something fishy going on, and China as a state is wielding its money to gain all of the technology for itself.
I totally agree with you.

Brew is not a website, it's a CLI tool. People expect this behavior of websites, not of sysadmin tools. How would you feel if you found out your compiler shipped off a copy of your code to a remote server each time you encountered a compiler error "to improve the compiler" and you had to opt out of this behavior?

It's always spying, regardless of the motivation.

Somehow open source has functioned all of these years without silently harvesting users' usage data. I don't know how new you are to open source, but this is definitely not the way you do QA for an open source project.
When having to deal with compilers that barely support a mix of C++98 and C++03, Qt is quite good.

Some of the factors I value in an editor are customization, modality, efficiency, performance, and battery drain.

- Eclipse -- I used Eclipse when I used to do a lot of Java programming. I hardly ever write Java anymore and my editor-oriented values have since also evolved.
Pros: Works well out of the box. Many features for easily and efficiently writing and testing code.
Cons: I'm not a fan of the bloated IDE environment. Speed is not a strong point. I don't recall it being very customizable.

- Sublime Text -- All around solid editor and works well without any configuration.
Pros: Looks and feels nice. Strong plugin ecosystem. Fairly customizable?
Cons: For a while there was no development and the project seemed abandoned. I believe this has improved and there is at least more active development.

- Atom -- Looks and feels great to use.
Pros: Active development and strong plugin ecosystem. Very customizable. Also let's you get things done without configuration. Low learning curve.
Cons: Sometimes slow and can drain your battery (Compared with other commenters, I haven't found slowness or battery drain to be that major of issues)

- Vim (terminal) -- Hard to beat efficiency.
Pros: Super customizable. Highly efficient text editing. Use from the terminal provides power (i.e. convenience) when work takes places predominantly in a terminal. Available on nearly all *nix systems. Convenient for editing files on a server. Easily git clone your config to a new system and you're good to go. Doesn't pose an issue for battery.
Cons: Learning curve. Not so out of the box friendly (unlike most of the other editors I mention). I often see people using vanilla (or near vanilla) Vim without realizing how much they're missing out on the plugin ecosystem. Requires investment in order to get the most power out of it.

- Visual Studio -- Used VS while writing C# for a few months.
Pros: Works well out of the box. Very helpful code completion. Lots of features I didn't use but some might find useful such as managing a git repo through the GUI. Extensible.
Cons: Felt unnecessarily bloated (for my tastes). Slow startup. Cluttered GUI. Not very customizable (though I didn't try too hard).

Text editors I'm curious about are Spacemacs, Neovim and VS Code.

Well, both the article and the video say that there is more than one factor for reaching stability, not only momentum.

I think that this is the current status, knowing that the bike does not fall by the simultaneous combination of several factors. When analyzing the problem mathematically, it can be found that there are additional stability factors that do not even have direct physical meaning.
Until the UK adopts rules regarding SIM card registration which are effective in some other European countries (I know of Germany and Poland): every pre-paid card must be associated with a specific person and vendors won't issue/activate you one until you present them with your ID card.
It's a plus for internal apps: there's always some "company first" person in the chain who wants to get brownie points by having their logo visible.

It's also very easy to implement, so why not?

Auditing remains the killer though, if you build it in from the beginning then it can be effectively free because of how it affects your architecture. If not it can become a big maintenance headache.
If your generalization is an accident of population samples, and doesn't apply when you control for that, I'm not sure how you think it's useful.

If you think that anti-PC people are simply scared of being called assholes, you missed the time when someone got fired making a joke about dongles. And the time when someone else got fired for saying that Donald Sterling shouldn't have been fired for things that he said in his own home. And the time when Bahar Mustafa was arrested, although I acknowledge that a subset of anti-PC people seemed to celebrate that. And the time when a cake chain got successfully sued for not wanting to bake a cake they disagreed with. Just off the top of my head.
It's pretty easy for a team to go rogue and if they have their own AWS account end up in a total mess and solving their problems with hardware. I've been at places where the exact same problem is being solved by several different teams and I think a lot of that was down to that the availability of AWS for instance allowed them to go total silo and act almost like a vendor to the other teams which consumed their apis.

Going back on prem really helped, even if maybe it was just the "group project" to do it. Afterwards though I think there's a bit more buy in simply because the company has total ownership of the stack. Some team starts thrashing resources there's a bit more knowledge sharing and the stakes are higher (at least, the resources aren't limitless).

You're running your service in AWS and another team consumes it, then RDS starts getting slower what can you do? Blame AWS when you get a nasty call from a PM and go to lunch...

On prem? You're probably not far from the DBA who can explain what's happening and you can grab the consumer of your service to help too. It seems to just open thing up a lot..

YMMV.

I've seen a definite improvement culturally though.

> Isn't total "total daylight time per year" constant across the earth?

More or less (depending on how you measure).

Issues:

1) Storage. If you live at lat 65 you need extreme amounts of heat and lighting in winter, and you need almost no heat and lighting in summer. Massive seasonal energy storage solutions such as aquifers do exist but they are expensive. This is why hydro is so good - it's both renewable AND is perfect for seasonal storage.

2) Incidence. Total daylight that has a good incidence for catching isn't constant across the earth. A lot of the "extra" sunlight that northern finland gets in the summer is in the wee hours of the night. It's not exactly scorching from zenith then. When the sun sits ON the horizon for a few hours, even a small hill on the horizon will ruin your solar power.
Yes. What I mean is that the power consumption is a little better, but the current generation Intel Celerons have quite low power consumption too.

One nice thing about x86-64 is that you can also run closed-source apps like games. For example, after having installed Crouton, I was able to install Steam and play some of the Linux games in my library.

I suspect on site level there won't be too much to allow effective identification of threats without a lot of false positives. This may be intention as with a "reasonable" suspicion more invasive procedures can be justified.
