4.5) Central planning for various industries to reduce logistics costs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myf_bJv20NE touches on it (26 minutes in). That you can order a chip you need... and its made a few blocks away.

Detroit (and the midwest auto industry) used to be like this - where whatever you needed was fairly close already. Not so much anymore. I'd have to dig up the cost difference in a slack (I asked about it), but IIRC, the majority of the price difference was not the difference in the cost of labor on a $30 item, but that at the scale things are being made the logistics isn't as expensive (you can buy 1000 chips and get them in a day or so rather than needing to buy 10,000 chips and needing for them to be shipped from 1000 miles away that will get here next week).
ForgeRock quietly cuts off “trunk” access to OpenAM, OpenDJ, and OpenIDM
Around 2 AM Eastern Time on 11/29, it appears that ForgeRock -- who develops OpenAM, OpenDJ, and OpenIDM -- quietly cut off public access to their CDDL trunk repositories for all of their projects.

In place of those repositories, they've spun up repositories that have only the source from the last major versions, which means that ForgeRock is quietly blocking out the community from contributing. It also means that any small-shop deployments who rely on the open source edition aren't going to be able to get any security updates unless they pony up to the pricey Enterprise Edition.

Technically, the CDDL does require them to provide some copies that do not require a commercial license, but there's some gray area as to which types of releases have to be public releases vs. private. ForgeRock has decided that the CDDL only applies to major (whole version) releases.

For those interested in the "Probability and Statistics" portion of the guide, Princeton recently created a certificate program in statistics and machine learning that has some more updated information on courses: http://sml.princeton.edu/

I'm pursuing the certificate right now and the courses have been great so far. Princeton's known for having a rather theory-heavy approach in their quantitative classes but I've found a good balance with applications in some of the classes (COS 424, COS 402).
Two potential counter-examples to your productive software claim:

Opaleye [0], an Arrow-based [1] DSL for Postgres SQL that allows the user to create type-safe, composable, and (generally) optimally fast SQL queries.

Halogen [2], a type-safe frontend framework for PureScript [3] that models view component interaction as an algebraic datatype containing query actions (among other fairly advanced concepts).

If someone is used to a certain level of abstraction, then the higher levels might seem unnecessary until they invest the time into learning them. The only thing unique to functional programming is that it has inherited a lot of terms from theory (profunctor, monad, algebra) rather than inventing friendlier ones.

This tool is pretty good! (This from an inexpert small business person, with no design sense -- but still, that describes a lot of potential users.)

I've been on the other side of the annoying design client experience, playing the role of annoying client. My old law partners and I asked a design firm to do an identity for us, some 7 years ago now. They spent a LOT of time with us, presented numerous concepts, and eventually the only logo we could agree on was a blue circle with our firm name inside of it. Actually it was a pretty good logo, if I do say so myself! But I could tell it was painful for the designers to hold our hands through this process.

The chair of the firm where I started my career liked to talk about the "$300,000 period". The firm had a slogan, something like "We're there for our clients." (minor details changed to protect the guilty) As part of a firm-wide rebranding, they hired an agency to help them update their identity including this slogan. The result was to put a period in the middle, so it became something like "We're there. For our clients." $300k, boom!

I played around with the AI logo creator. It is good as a starting point, if you want an logo that looks more or less like other logos in the training set. I suspect that describes 99% of small business users, so it's perfect! Just provide a MOO integration and you'll turn $15k/mo into $100k.

I would be interested to see the tool opened up, so you could do logos with arbitrary training data -- but with some hard constraints imposed by the user so it's not just a sea of pornographic aliens cavorting on Dali-inspired worlds. (edit: unless that's what you're going for, of course)

At the end of the day, what justifies a big agency fee is partly just the ability to make high-ego corporate clients feel good about their decisions, and to help them sell those decisions within their political environment.
Given that Reddit's business model relies on volunteer moderators (which is why I'm not shedding any tears over its problems - that's what you get for building a business on free labor), I'd say it's gonna be a big problem for their shareholders as ad revenue drops and then for the remaining users as it sinks past the threshold of tolerability.
If history has taught us anything since then it's that slow decolonization is a much better idea than a quick one.

This Startup Is Taking VR on the Road
Yes. Currently, we rely on evolution by random mutation and recombining genes, which works in the long run, but has two problems: mutations are more likely to be detrimental than beneficial, and we have no way to appropriate the various advantages that non-human species have.

Deliberately cherry-picking traits seems like it could be quite a boon for the human race. (It would of course need to be done carefully and with proper ethical safeguards against careless experimentation.)
Yes. CC laws apply to ISPs. I haven't seen evidence that they apply to websites.

It is pricey, but it is also very good. The content is quite up-to-date (e.g. covers Foldable/Traversable, teaches the Functor-Applicative-Monad progression) and working through the exercises made a lot of things click that I didn't understand before.

This article and not to mention the entire site is way too sensational to consider.
I chuckled so much after reading the last line in your dialogue that my mouse pointer took a good 2 seconds before accurately finding the upvote arrow.
The "we have the same genes" argument is completely absurd. So alright, some set of DNA sequences in the context of a worm enable the regeneration of worm parts; does it follow that the same set of DNA sequences in the context of a human enable the regeneration of human parts? Of course not! In the same way that the knowledge of how fix a bike has little bearing on being able to fix a cellphone, or that the touchscreen drivers on said phone wouldn't provide a usable interface if loaded onto your gameboy. DNA is just data; its functional value is almost entirely dependent on its surroundings. For that matter, we're a bit physically different than worms; trying to port their mechanisms to human physiology is likely comparable to trying to graft wings onto your arms in order to fly.

Not to say that regeneration is implausible (after all, generation is possible), or that there's nothing to be learned from worm regeneration, but this article is fluff.
Would you mind filing a bug? The next version is focused on hotkey window improvements and this is very easy to fix. I'm away from my machine now or I'd do it myself. Thanks! ITerm2.com/bugs

The problem is that the Internet Archive exists on legally shaky ground. Neither they nor anyone else has a right to archive copyrighted web content and display it to the public. They manage to continue doing so in part because they're clearly non-commercial. They also manage to continue doing so because they voluntarily respond to robots.txt, even retroactively.

Libraries/archives have no special exemption from copyright law, which is actually a good thing, because otherwise libraries would presumably need to be licensed in some way by the government to qualify for special treatment.
Government documents including, I assume, web pages are in the public domain.

Guess what, "social" apps should help local communities without the signal having to go to a server farm halfway around the world. India rejected internet.org for that reason. Rural Africa doesn't need drones to organize community dinner or call a plumber.

Sure, we have the genes to grow limbs while hibernating suspended in amniotic fluid and being fed intravenously. Maybe recreate those exact circumstances and we can regrow limbs.
So we are talking about free speech then? It sounds like you have already forgotten that the comment I replied to said "no one is talking about free speech."
> does it follow that the same set of DNA sequences in the context of a human enable the regeneration of human parts? Of course not!

But that isn't really the argument. We know we can grow limbs because we've all done it once before.
> Evolution evolved to ensure the survival of the species, not the individual.

At some point in our evolutionary history the cells in our body made this choice. Evolution favors survival and potentially reproduction, because otherwise you are no longer in the game. So there was some evolutionary constraint that caused those genes not to regenerate parts.

It's possible we can change things so that those genes are active again. But we don't really understand these systems well enough to do that and won't anytime soon. But science carries on and I am sure you can make lab mice to test hypotheses of how this might work in mammals. And we probably will very soon, if not here then in China.

Evolution is perfectly fine even if you don't reproduce much, as long as you continue to survive in your environment. There are creatures out there that have changed very little and we know this because we have fossil records, and this is because they have been adapted to their environment and stayed adapted despite the environmental changes. And there are even immortal creature that die not because their bodies age and kill them but because they are eaten by other things, but still they don't change much over time. I guess you could say they are better evolved than other creatures that have to constantly change. They made better evolutionary decisions than other creatures very early on.
To both. I was just expounding on the distinction I see b/w reddit and Google -- the point was trying to make was that I don't think it's completely appropriate to make Google analogous to reddit.
I made 7.5k for a Facebook Vulnerability that i found while procrastinating instead of studying for exams.

Haven't done much since though.
The underlying vulnerability has to do with a memory corruption of some sort in Firefox's SVG rendering, which is a code base that is shared across platforms. So probably an analogous memory corruption exists on other platforms, because it's compiled from the same C++. While it's possible that it's not exploitable outside of Windows, there is no specific reason to assume it won't be.

But the exploit here with the ROP chain, calling Windows APIs, etc., is apparently Win32-specific and doesn't have binary code that could run successfully on other platforms.

The setup for the exploit is apparently primarily in the Javascript function craftDOM() which makes some SVG objects and modifies some of their properties, presumably in a way that triggers an underlying bug in Firefox's SVG support. There is also a Win32 object code payload in the string object thecode, which would not be able to run unmodified on another platform. Also, the ROP chain code is likely to be Windows-specific in several respects. Indeed, the statement

throw"Bad NT Signature";

seems to be actively giving up the attack if it detects a non-Win32 environment.
How would you infer which video in particular a person watches? The connection between you and the porn site is encrypted. For sure they can tell if you visited a particular site (asianmilfporn.com) and for how long but they can't tell which videos you viewed. They can't tell which videos are on your hard drive either.

Of course, the website itself would know exactly what you watched and would remember that as long as you used the same device to access the site.

People realize that math and statistics are a very solid foundation for machine learning, and machine learning is in vogue. Instead of going back to school to get a graduate degree, they take the autodidact route.

How I Came to See That the Election Needs to Be Audited and How You Can Too
In that specific comment no. It was about reddit's core beliefs. The fact that the word free speech was used in the sentence doesn't make that a central point of that conversation.

In the general case also no because a private platform not promoting someones speech isn't a free speech issue.

> In Science Channel’s video, “How to Grow a New Fingertip”

Just wow! This story is about actually regrowing a finger on the man's hand.

It's so incredible, I'd skeptical. Is this really correct? Why didn't they make a time lapse video of the man's finger regrowing -- even taking just one photo per day. That would have been the obvious thing to do, but they didn't do it (or didn't show it).

UPDATE: On further research, I guess it was just too good to be true. Here's one rebuttal to the claims from the exuberant video:

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2008/may/01/finger.claim

tl;dr: The finger was not so badly injured. It healed rather than regrew.
It's also barely an article.

From the part on "Intro Classes" --

"The introductory courses for math majors are MAT 215: Single Variable Analysis, MAT 217: Linear Algebra, and MAT 218: Multivariable Analysis. Like the great majority of math courses at Princeton, these three courses are theoretical and proof-based. [...] These three are usually the first math classes that math majors take at Princeton. However, the math department is very flexible in allowing advanced freshmen to skip some or all of these courses."

MAT 215 is classical analysis (epsilon-delta, differentiability, etc.). Its own course page (https://www.math.princeton.edu/undergraduate/course/mat215) advises regular students considering taking the course:

"Typically students have a 5 on the BC calculus exam together with a math SAT score of at least 750."

The concept of being so advanced as a freshman that you skip this class is pretty amazing to me. I know those folks are out there, but skipping honors analysis really brings it home.

I struggled through another Ivy's version of Honors Analysis for math majors (out of baby Rudin) as a beginning grad student.
Microchips grow autonomously if you regard the entire fab and its staff as a big organism.

And note that the blueprints for the chip do actually encode more or less what it looks like: as a genotype they resemble the phenotype. Yet such a repair is not feasible.

DNA genes do not encode an arm or a leg directly, but a convoluted process by which the structure develops.
I've always liked Tim Gowers' welcome to incoming students to the Cambridge Mathematical Tripos program. Lots of great tips on learning/studying math, asking intelligent questions, etc.

McDonald's was using fresh beef in some areas (e.g. California's Central Valley locations like Stockton) clear back to 1978 at the latest. It becomes a logistics issue and expense, plus the environmental impact of additional delivery trips.

“These burgers are hotter and juicier than our previous quarter-pound patties, ...”

Well, sure, but that's only at the time you pull them from the grill.

When you then just stuff the cooked patties into a heat tray for (perhaps hours) later assembly into a sandwich (modern McD procedure, unlike the old days), the benefit is mostly lost.

Nobody wants to be out in the summer heat, with the sun blazing down. And then, the work itself is back-breaking hard work. And it never paid as well as the industrial and manufacturing jobs paid.

And you're also competing (in the South) with temp immigrants at low low wages, because those wages are good compared to Mexico.
Web development tech is like singing. Everyone can do it. Few can do it well. When you do it well, it sells itself.

Think of something cool to do, do it to the best of your ability, keep improving it, and before you know it they will come to you.

You should never run out of things to improve. If you think you have something that is "perfect," it means you either need better feedback or you need to read more or both, because there is always room for improvement. That last 10% is what makes people stand out.
License Violations and Compliance
No, undergrad in EE and in CS, so I feel no shame in my suffering. Big on intuition and weak on proof. Happy to exchange any limit operations if it gets a result that looks right. It worked for Fourier!

But my surprise isn't just relative to my own preparation (such as it was).
You're already getting too far ahead of things.

First, think about what a 'crime' is. What constitutes 'crime' is based entirely on what the 'law' is. Laws (in this sense) are a creation of man, not nature.

So now we are correlating a man-made concept with something that is (at least partially) the product of nature. If this correlation is real, we need to explore that aspect of it before we start talking about policy.

So what makes a face? Genes, sure but that can't be the whole story. Environment? Nutrition? Psychology? Over time, as a person matures, maybe all of these things and more play some role in how his face will turn out.

Then, could it be that something behind the factors that shape a face also promote a psychology that puts less importance on submitting to authority? When we look at this as a criminal justice issue, that seems like a bad thing. In another context, it may not be.

This is kind of what I mean by approaching the issue with an open mind.
