> Isn't it up to the viewer not the publisher to decide what is trustworthy?

If we want to have healthy democracy, it's up to all of us to figure out how to get every citizen to consume factual information and let them know when they're being lied to. That's a Hard Problem with an incredibly valuable solution. To me it seems like FB is well positioned to play a role here. They've figured out how to get a huge population to consume content on their platform - now they need to figure out how to get people to consume some knowledge along with the cat pictures and avoid outright lies (e.g. dead FBI director [0]). The question is whether that would be counter to their engagement KPIs (maybe some people only want "facts" they agree with). My gut says that eliminating the clickbait/propaganda (internet noise) would make it all the more indispensable as a resource/utility.

I suspect it's untenable, really.

You either enforce differing viewpoint and run the risk of:
A) censoring news
B) disapointing viewers
C) give legitimacy to possibly damaging world views

Don't censor and allow fake news and filter bubble.
Never saw how stop-motion videos are edited. What's so repetitive? I thought that once you've taken all your pictures, you just put them sequentially and removed any frames that seemed off. Maybe you also need to decide how much time to leave every frame?

Let's see. 4 million pounds is around 1800 metric tons. Density of concrete is around 2 tons/m³, so 1800 tons is the mass of about 900 m³ of concrete. This is a volume of a disc about 1 m thick and 35 m in diameter. Seems plausible.

Zucker was a hack who's popular with people like this because he believed that not trying to actively force kids not to be trans was morally equivalent to turning them trans, ran his clinic accordingly and gave it a veneer of scientific respectability when the scientific community wouldn't touch it. Just following up and seeing what happens is the mainstream approach he rejected. I had a look at some of his research and every time, there was a huge unbridgable gap between the conclusions he drew - which, naturally, supported his own existing beliefs about trans people - and the actual evidence he had.

This idea that dubious work driven by the researchers' existing anti-trans beliefs is the real science and that anyone who disagrees with it is therefore attacking science is, sadly, fairly common: http://freethoughtblogs.com/atg/2016/08/07/academic-transpho...

Machine learning project ideas to do in a newspapaper?
Fingerprint and face recognition don't have the same threat models. And two differ from password too. For end users, fingerprint makes sense:

- Stealing fingerprint requires access to your fingerprint in the first place. That narrows down the attack surface A LOT.
- Coercing someone to authenticate is possible for password too. Unlike fingerprints passwords can be stolen remotely.
- People tend to use same PIN everywhere. Therefore "can't change your biometric info" isn't that big of a problem. Fingerprints aren't prone to dictionary attack either because there are no "common fingerprints".

Face recognition can be bypassed more easily thanks to a huge database of faces called facebook.

But we shouldn't reject a security solution outright before properly analyzing the threat model. They all can have their legitimate use cases for certain scenarios.

Chernobyl is prime example health and safety gone wrong, the accident happened because they were doing safety tests on backup generators.

this is the kind of scenario where the ticking off boxes mentality should not be welcome.

things should have been done the long way, i.e giving people a blackout while they were doing those tests.

they also gave the testing duties to the night shift because they ran out of time.

prime example not to test things in production, but also not test things for testing's sake (especially in production)
This sounds ambitious.

I wonder if they can also address the following problem. Currently, deep learning toolkits need thousands of training images to classify images of, e.g., dogs and cats. A human, in contrast, could learn the difference between a dog and a cat by looking just at a single example (or perhaps a few). So right now, deep learning is too much "simple" pattern matching, and too little real "AI".

I'd be happy to give up agricultural lands in the US in exchange for much less political obstruction and substantial tax cuts. Those new countries would still have to sell their agricultural products on the market, and the nearest urbanized areas would still be some of their largest customers.

Seems like a win-win, right? But, there are significant reasons why the rural areas would never accept that deal. They're addicted to the imbalance of power and urban subsidies.

Some behaviors - as with throwing toys and pouring out milk - are normal and will pass. In the meantime, you can do things such as notice when milk is still in the cup and point out, with a silly voice, that you are pouring the milk into the cup because milk likes to be inside of things. Just occasionally, not constantly. Then just remind her when it gets on the floor, and tell her the negative consequences (as is age appropriate). You can have her play with play-doh in a safer space and with more oversight - showing her how to be neat about it while you two play.
A fun way to use one of these is to decode images sent from weather satellites. We built a system to decode images from a Russian Meteor-M2 satellite by using a RTL-SDR, home made antenna and GNU radio (image gallery : http://meteor.amphinicy.com/). Unfortunately, we are located in the city center with a lot of RF noise and interference so images are not as clean as they could be.
I can second this. And if I give a 3rd choice, he wants a 4th. I've tried many of the 'common' advices but they don't really seem to work that well with mine. With mine seems a bit of 'indifference' works wonders.

'We are going out now', 'no, I don't want to, scream, etc, etc', 'Ok, stay there, when you are ready to talk to me and go out, I'll start talking to you again, until then, I'll be in the kitchen/bedroom/whatever'. This usually gives him 5 minutes to think a bit, then comes back, apoligises and we go on our way. I've tried pretty much everything before this, and seems it was the only thing that works with mine.

I agree to some point with you. Simpler data structures will not result with abysmal performance nowadays. However I would not use fastest human character input as a benchmark. In advanced editor you may want computer to do some edits/inputs for you. Code pasting, filtering of lines or search/replace should also be considered. That said it is probably easy to move blocks if you know the size of edits.

I am developing experimental text editor in C. What I am currently using is array of lines (strings). Entering new line is a memmove in array of pointers. Entering new character is a memmove in array of chars. I concatenated all sources of Linux kernel. Resulting file has 542MB and 19'726'498 lines. Insertion of line is slightly laggy then - probably on the edge of noticeability. I also tested it a bit with a file containing single long line and it was also OK. Based on what profiler shows me rendering takes much more time and that's what I have to optimize.

In meditation everyone at some point needs to face it. So I wouldn't take what you're saying with a grain of salt - on the contrary, you may now have much greater clarity, as you had to be much more systematic and determined in your training.

Sure, it's allowed, and makes sense in this particular example. But someone reading this might think that the scheme depends on using a random coloring in the second round, which is precisely not the case.

In ZKP, usually the claim is "I have constructed this 3-colorable graph, and I wish to prove to you that it is 3-colorable without giving you any info about the coloring", and I only know the one colorability that I constructed the graph with (so the narrative given about Google calculating a coloring for you isn't the best analogy to begin with).

Or, "Here's a number that's a product of two big primes, a fact which I will prove to you without giving you a hint on what the primes are," in which there is obviously only one solution.

Large PHP frameworks I think is starting to reach end of line. Seems like a micro framework trend has started with Zend Expressive and similar middleware based frameworks.

There was a trend of making PHP into Java, I think that is the wrong path, as you say, Java already exists. That trend also existed in JavaScript a long time ago. Seems like a natural instinct by some developers to do so when trying to create structure from a chaos like world.

Much better to build on PHP strengths. Dynamic, stateless, fast development cycle.

> Hard problem solving is not required to create consciousness. Humans can’t solve hard problems but they make children conscious meanwhile human children grown by animals become animals.

You're serious? :) Humans can make children conscious? They barely can control their instincts, most of the time they are not aware what and why they are doing. We have no clue how are we working, how reality is created.

To say that consciousness "just" appears automatically when some complexity is reached is just magical thinking or, at the very least, explaining the problem away. You would have to answer why, how, when is the critical point, what's the difference between conscious and unconscious robot etc.

>> "Facebook simply kills democracy for their own benefit."

No, people and politicians are killing democracy.

People choose to get their news from unreliable sources. They act like they care about an issue yet only know the headline. But they can sign an online petition and post it on social media so they look and feel good.

Politicians can openly lie on the largest of stages. When called out on it (which rarely happens) they can stick to their lie despite opposing evidence. And they win because of it. A good example of this was the claim during Brexit that £350m per week would go to the NHS if we left the EU. After the referendum was over one of the leading figures admitted on TV that the claim was BS. When you can win by openly lying to the people, why wouldn't you? I think in situations like this elections/votes should be re-run.

My point is that Facebook has nothing to do with democracy. There are plenty of alternative news sources, some that are even reliable, and people instead get their news on Facebook because they don't actually care.

Even if I would not consider "... considered harmful" essays as screamers for attention, I would still take detraction about ME with a grain of salt, because:

* it's easy to counteract, just not use an Intel NIC
* it gets a lot of scrutinity
* Intel is quite open about what it does, short of releasing signing keys for the firmware
* the mobile platforms have similar secure enclaves (think baseband processors on phones), which nobody actually audits

All of these make me think Rutkowska found out that bashing x86 gets her attention, and now she uses it as a beating horse.

> Simple observation would tend to suggest that the fast and reliable HTTP servers tend to have quite a bit of code.

I'm unconvinced.

It may be more likely that people do not need ($$$) fast HTTP servers badly enough to make them. I have done a number of special-purpose HTTP servers (ad server/rtb) in order to eke out some of that additional performance, but the 10µsec response time I can get with 60 lines of C code saturates 1gbps, so more servers is simply more economical at that point.

Meanwhile, databases are a much better study since there are established industries that demand faster and faster queries, and the fastest databases are around 1000x faster than Hadoop at a fraction of the size (K6 is under 600 lines of C code; KDB's SQL92 is around 30 lines of K code).

I believe a big part of why is that when you get that small it's easy to see your entire program, so you can remove redundancy and bloat that you wouldn't otherwise be able to be aware of. This reduction also reduces the binary size, paying dividends by getting the important bits into L1 (K6's binary is under 100kb which leaves plenty of room for all your scratch variables and your program).

Building anything that would be hazardous if destroyed on a below sea level area that is known to be hit by hurricanes was.

But you are somewhat right. Katrina is a better comparison with Fukishima which, to my knowledge, was a combination of being a poor location and repeated environmental damage that wasn't properly repaired or maintained. The 2015 Tianjin explosion is a better comparison with Chernobyl as that was human error and poor maintenance, not "act of god" weather.
