This is all submarine marketing by Cambridge Analytica.

Tools exist to do all the things that these articles describe. And the reality is very far from what these articles are describing.

Given behavioral targeting (highly effective), demographic targeting (less effective) and A/B testing (highly effective), you can construct customized messages to improve your conversion rates. You can sell skin cream to the hippie by emphasizing the organic ingredients, and to the vain lady by showing her a pretty lady with great skin using the cream.

That might get your conversion rate from 5% to 6%, which is HUGE WIN for your company - a 20% boost in revenue. That's also very far from the mind control being described here.

If you want to understand what Trump did, rather than paying attention to the people who completely failed to predict his victory (i.e. the mainstream media), I'd focus on the people who predicted it perfectly (i.e. Scott Adams and similar folks). It's only in the mainstream media that a sequence of failed predictions somehow makes a person worth listening to.

> The commenter said 'This has been happening for ages, Obama did it too'

You're the only one mentioning "Obama" in this comment tree. You were quick to assume a defensive position for whatever reason, but his is aimed at both parties in general.

> What you appear to be asking for is 'balance' - I'm asking of you, what's missing from the account in the OP?

You're assuming again. I do not expect the Guardian to expose its party, but it would be interesting to see both sides laid bare next to each other.

That is all.

Would MD5 also not satisfy all the availablity and standardization problems you mentioned just as well as SHA-x ? and also meet other non security requirements of git just as well ?

So why SHA-1 over MD5 which probably is move available and order of magnitude faster ? what problems MD5 has outside of its security that SHA-1 does not ?
Yes and no: here is a short article about it from Brad Wardell the CEO from Stardock [0]. Vulkan/Mantle/DirectX12 allow the game developer to really take advantage of multicore CPU's. Which is why we see the most gains with these new low level API's for AMD's FX chips because they are better at multi-threaded workloads compared to single threaded workloads like with previous DirectX versions.

A quote from the linked article:

To to summarize:

DirectX 11: Your CPU communicates to the GPU 1 core to 1 core at a time. It is still a big boost over DirectX 9 where only 1 dedicated thread was allowed to talk to the GPU but it’s still only scratching the surface.
DirectX 12: Every core can talk to the GPU at the same time and, depending on the driver, I could theoretically start taking control and talking to all those cores.

That’s basically the difference. Oversimplified to be sure but it’s why everyone is so excited about this.

For any game for which 60fps is a relevant measurement, none of those additional steps are relevant. The relevant measure is just RTT for an IP packet.
I met a group of 6 living social employees in 2011 at a local meetup. They spoke so negatively about their company AND their partners/customers. This wasn't just run of the mill complaining about work or customers, it was really vile and made me sick. I vowed to never use their service and encouraged others to not use them. Why am I posting this? Because it is fundamental to any startups culture to be careful about how they present themselves to the rest of the tech community and the world.
They're both tangible. Another is costs. Revenue - Costs That Are Absolutely Necessary = Profit in most honest way of doing accounting. Unless it's very inefficient, profit is one of better ways of measuring one's business success. It's what you keep after all. Alternatively, if in a growth stage, it's obviously revenue and customer growth with profit sacrificed for that. Still better to be profitable most of the time.

Garry Kasparov explains why he sees 'something more sinister'
Mercer does have a point about bias in MSM. MSM called Steve Bannon an anti-Semite when he is in fact very, pro-Israel and very much against anti-Semitism. However, they failed to report that the Democratic National Committee candidate who almost won, Keith Ellison, was mentioned by the Anti-Defamation League, "Ellison’s remarks ‘deeply disturbing and disqualifying’". [1]

He was one of only 8 members of Congress to vote against the Iron Dome anti-missle system which protected Israeli civilians from Hamas rockets. [2]

[3] http://dailycaller.com/2016/11/17/democrats-must-scrutinize-...

MSM chose not to report the Anti-Defamation League statement (ADL says Bannon is not anti-Semitic BTW) about Ellison nor did it report that he was one of 8 members of Congress to vote against Iron Dome, an anti-missle system that protected Israeli civilians from Hamas rockets.

EDIT: After the DNC election which Ellison lost, the Wall Street Journal disclosed the following:

"Mr. Ellison, who is an African-American Muslim, also faced complaints about his past associations with the Nation of Islam and statements he has made that were perceived as criticizing Israel. Haim Saban, an Israeli-American donor who funded the construction of the DNC’s Washington headquarters, in December publicly called Mr. Ellison “clearly an anti-Semite.”"[4]

But they should have disclosed this information before the election.

> The stock market's output is difficult to see, but it is there: they compute the value of stock. Why we need to know the value of stock to such fine resolution in time, I do not know.

The bigger benefit of the stock market is that it provides liquidity, which is one of the major appeals of owning listed stock - that you can liquidate it quickly/easily/cheaply.

The benefit you mentioned - pricing stock - enables companies to issue new stock at a fair market valuation. But that's secondary to letting people buy/sell stock easily.
My opinion and current way of working is:

* if the reducers/actions/action creators/action types/sagas are UNIQUE to the component and are not being used elsewhere then it should sit together in the same folder .

* if they are more generic/being used in more than one place then I would put them all in a separate folder, since all of those parts are actually doing more or less one thing - manage a specific sub-section of your app's state.

This sub-section of your app's state can then be shared by many more than one entry point, which is extremely useful for me.

A REAL example:

I took the redux-login-saga-flow (https://github.com/sotojuan/saga-login-flow/tree/master/app),
changed the folder structure so now i can just import the login state management into every entry point i want, and bam - it just works, since all of that state sits under 'login'.

I can now create a new webpage and add all of the login complexity in only a few minutes of work .

I Hope I was clear

I was hoping examples with real world stories and emotional hooks, that's was 'seeing' means to me. This is great effort nevertheless, love this format compared to traditional book formats.
Unfortunately this setup would be very slow for most GPGPU applications, because the CPU-GPU and GPU-GPU bandwidth is very slow. To effectively use this the data transfer requirements have to be very low.

Even with a dedicated 16x PCIe 3 connection there is a latency overhead compared to inter-CPU buses, like HyperTransport or QPI, which is why nVidia and IBM have scaled up the NVlink inter-GPU bus to become a memory speed interconnect.

If your software is that bad (can't recognize a red light), you should probably be testing in a simulator with pre-recorded video, not throwing your garbage code on the road where it can cause an accident.
> startups [...] big money will come when you succeed.

If you succeed. Most startups don't (the last statistic I heard was 1 in 10 startups succeed). Also, you only get the money if you're the founder or cofounder; peons, err, employees don't get anywhere near their actual value in shares.
Much of the material I studied for my learners permit written test has since become just part of how I drive (I hope), but the rules regarding stopping for school-busses have always stuck with me for some reason.

In Florida, the rule is that all traffic going in either direction must stop, except when the road is "a divided highway with an unpaved space of at least 5 feet, a raised median, or a physical barrier"[0], in which case the opposing traffic does not have to stop. It's interesting to me to see how little things like this change from place to place, and how these localized rules will be handled by self-driving vehicles.

It seems as if there's a lot of behind the scenes data aggregation and analytics, which is good. But surely somebody has created a cheap variation on the rest of it? I.e. software with keystrokes to quickly access open financial data? I mean there's nothing to stop someone doing that, getting custom keyboards made, and selling it for a tiny fraction of the price right?

I'd imagine that there are quite a lot of people who fancy trading as something of a hobby but who will never pay for Bloomberg.
Yep. I wonder if we could memify this in an attempt to fight back: "Your f*ing blog is not an app" or something similar.

The complete abandonment of any form of progressive enhancement is depressing. We need to get some real metrics on user engagement (slow load over poor connections), SEO drawbacks (yes google can index this stuff but does it rank as well?) and accessibility (how well do screen readers really cope?).

Get some facts and start hitting people over the head with them.

> I actually think the stock market is much less valuable than computer games

The existence of the stock market is what makes it appealing to own stock at all. If it didn't exist, it would be much much harder for companies to raise capital, and therefore much harder for them to create/sell products that people want, and much harder for them to employ people. So, it's pretty valuable.
There's a huge difference between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism. There's no real way to engage with somebody who willfully tries to remove that distance.

It is also very much possible to be anti-Semitic and pro-Israel, but I won't go into those mental gymnastics here.

Edit: the mental gymnastics that have been offered elsewhere basically boil down to, "we hate Jews, but are fine giving them their own country if it means they leave America." White supremacists are also pro-Israel because they think having a Jewish homeland justifies having a white homeland (America, Europe, etc).
This is the new normal. Get used to it.

I keep telling people, things are going to get really weird. You tell me, what happens in a complex adaptive system when the cost of information (transmission and storage) goes to zero? Yah, shit gets weird fast.

Does anyone think Cambridge Analytica is the sole proprietor of tech like this? Will they remain the only ones? What if one person leaks the model? What if someone open sources a better one? We know this story. After some time this is going to become as accessible as any other tech, and Things. Are. Going. To. Get. Really. Weird.
I wonder if this is a primary phenomenon (the benefit comes from the act of observing birds) or secondary (the benefit comes from certain environmental characteristics which also attract birds).

I have less problems with western TLAs as they exist today but find it very scary to think about what might happen once we see a really big data leak from FB. Or Facebook folds and is bought by someone who's set on making money from the assets.
> I need to find something with purpose,big money, and satisfaction.

Do you?

If you did, you'd be motivated about that. But you aren't.

The problem is not really finding something outside, but changing something in yourself. It sounds like you think motivation comes from the outside.
The conclusion to stick to Python 2 just because the author does not like some optional features added in Python 3 seems far fetched.

While the typing thing has been discussed here yesterday[0], I share his views about asyncio.

I was a bit disappointed when asyncio lost its provisional status in Python 3.6. I was hopping that the community will wait a bit more and settle on something else.

The work that David Beazley does on Curio[1] is amazing. This should be an inspiration for the standard library in my opinion.

Don't forget that Clinton lost the popular vote too; most voters did not vote for her.
Don't forget the weed.

In the 90's, the crime was even given the label "The Crack Wars". It was anywhere from 2 to 5 times higher than it is today depending on where you lived.

Fast forward to today and the drug of choice is different. It's marijuana, which I don't believe is an "upper". Whereas crack was an "upper".

So a lot of factors go into it. Trayvon Martin, for instance, most likely lived in a cleaner environment with respect to lead...

was definitely high on pot...

but was trolling for snacks and probably on his way home to finish playing some video game.

There are a LOT of Trayvon Martins out there. So all those factors, and more, have lead to a lower VIOLENT crime rate overall.

> I would guess a browser is just not optimised for a use-case comparable to Cerebro (running as a daemon).

That's pretty much it. There's no useful way to make electron slimmer in any way, since it comes with the full chrome browser in the backpack and there's nothing you can do, because chrome's being the base of the huge pyramid with your teeny tiny bits of html and js on top.

It's useful for proto-typing or one-off apps, but for long-running things you're better of making it a chrome app directly (i.e. reusing Chrome's memory foot-print), or making it into a proper native app.
Which way?
Forgive me if you aren't looking for advice, but I recommend a distraction notebook:

Keep a small notebook beside you and promise yourself you are going to focus on the topic at hand for a period of time. When a thought, question or search topic pops into your brain, write it in the notebook. When you have some free time you can pick up the notebook at look up all those things. Of course, I often find that coming back to them they aren't all that important at all, and feeling of desperately needing to know has gone.
Thanks for thoughtful reply. I think I agree with all what you said. I am not the omg Trump is ending the world type, I see him as using the same "tools" as other political parties etc.

To me the real question becomes what happens when the government uses the big data to "sell" ideas to the public.

That 5% swing can be used in all sorts of ways.
Is there even a viable and scalable alternative? Genuine question.
I asked the finance guys at the asset management firm I worked at last, and they said that the #1 value to them was in the chat. So many deals are arranged via the built-in chat system. News can be acquired from many places, but if you capture the communication (or create the platform, as BB did), then you capture your audience.

It's very hard to break out of that, because doing so means you're now excluded from some of the most useful and important information. Nobody wants to be first to leave, and convincing enough users to leave en masse to create or use an alternative seems impossible at this point.
Only if by "most of the subjects" you mean "engineering and CS", which, along with physics, are the entire male bastion of science. Every other scientific field does far better, including pure math, chemistry, neuroscience, astronomy (as Pike notes in this piece), and molecular biology, where women make up (wait for it) over 50% of PhDs granted every year.

I'm afraid I cannot agree with the sentiment in this . The Python3 equivalent of his first example is no more complicated than the Python2 one he shows. You don't have to use decorators or type annotations. It is there if you want it

> Did Python sell out? I don't know. Maybe Guido caved to some persuasive people with bad ideas. Maybe communists, wanting to reduce global productivity, railroaded through all these garbage PEPs. Maybe Python wanted to throw off its reputation as a toy language and become a serious language like Node.js... Whatever the case, when I look at all the PEPs that have been accepted over the past couple years, I can see that the inmates are now running the asylum.

If you and a billion other people want Python2 so badly, fork it and keep developing it. If the maintainers want to push a language in one way, that is their prerogative! It is their time they are using.
Please don't conflate Israeli nationalism with support for Jewish people on the whole. And don't conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism. As a matter of fact, the majority of Jewish people I know, American and Israeli as well, are quite critical of the Israeli state as it has acted historically.
I don't think that's really a fair comparison if we're taking Uber at their word since the car is still a dev unit.

It seems like a known problem, cars would not stop at any red light period and the driver just forgot to stop because he wasn't paying attention.
This has been my wife and I's experience. It's very common among the majority of our friends and family who are, like us, childless well in to their 30s (mostly in the pursuit of "career").
It's a bad idea to attack someone for taking extra effort to strip inflammatory stuff out of their comments. That's exactly what we want commenters to do.
@swang BRAVO!
You're setting up a false dichotomy here. It's not "support iron dome" vs "support Hamas". There are reasons to vote down iron done that have nothing to do with hating Israel or being a terrorist sympathizer.

If I were to introduce a bill to the house floor today that says we give Zimbabwae one billion USD to build a missile system to defend against terrorist missile strikes - a system which they refused to share details regarding its operative details and technical/operational schematics - and it was voted down, would you say all of Congress are anti-Zimbabwaen and terrorist sympathizer?
The right way to build this sort of thing is with a hub of 8796 PCIE switches for each group of 4 GPUs such that they could all form a continuous 16x PCIE bidirectional ring suitable for O(n) collectives like gather/reduce/allGather/allReduce.

This is more or less useless, or if one wishes to be kind, an amazing emulation of building distributed GPU code over the craptastic bandwidths brought to you by AWS, Microsoft, and Google datacenters for now.

Also PCIE Gen 2? WTF? This might not even post with current GPUs.

For those like me that don't know the difference between probiotic and prebiotic:

Probiotics are “good” bacteria that help keep your digestive system healthy by controlling growth of harmful bacteria. Prebiotics are carbohydrates that cannot be digested by the human body. They are food for probiotics. ... It has good bacteria like lactobacillus or bifidobacteria.

TLDR: mice that ate prebiotics had better REM sleep.

Cambridge Analytica first supported Cruz against Trump. So there is little hard evidence that it is such a powerful weapon. Bannon is on the board of the company and these articles feel like company-fed buzz.

I led Mercer's old team at IBM for a few year and we also developed NLP/ML-based profiling technology. They work better than chance but not much better (there is lots of published literature on the subject) and definitely not enough to make a big difference from just feeding fake news to everybody equally.
