I was born in an African village, literally in a mud hut. I spent the first 9 years of my life in a village. The town I grew up in wasn't far from the village so I spent holidays in the village too. I now work in IT and try keep up with the latest frameworks. That is I am not concerned with starving to death and I have health insurance.

If I compare my upbringing with my daughter's, there is nothing to compare. We walked around barefoot, unsupervised, climbed trees, ate wild fruit, made spears from wood and once you were four you had to take your two year old sibling with you and look after them. There were no nannies. Here is the interesting thing, none of us ever had to see an occupational therapist to help us with our hand eye co-ordination. Falling out of a tree was enough incentive to figure it out on your own. I digress, the point I am trying to make is that I remember my childhood as a happy time. Full of activity and adventure. I would have been classified as poor because I we slept on the floor, shared blankets as kids. Kids ate from the same plate, grouped roughly by age group. No toys except ones we made ourselves.

I am not advocating returning to the village. Running water and healthcare are good things. I often wonder about who is better off, me in town with access to water and health but with all manner of rates and taxes and social pressures?

Edit: typos
I work on spam and abuse (but not at Facebook). Also IANAL.

CP is radioactive / considered contraband. You cannot download or resend it to anyone under any circumstances. It sounds crazy but it breaks the law -- BBC should have sent links instead / used platform reporting. By downloading to their hard drive and emailing it, they engage in proliferation.

"But didn't their browser already download it? When they saw it?" Yeah. But they had to define sharing such images as being illegal, so...I don't know how laws work.

When you detect CP, AFAIK you must report it (...ironically sending this copy is OK though I'm not sure what the full mechanism looks like) and immediately delete it from your servers. You can keep an irreversible hash to do future detection.

Also fwiw our org has some special contractor who has to identify this stuff. None of eng has to look at it, thank heavens.

Brian Wilson: A Cork on the Ocean
This isn't oversight, this is the government controlling all capital, the market, and every other part of the economy.

Anarcho-syndicalism isn't an economic model, it's a revolutionary model which is the most common problem with the vast majority of so called alternative models to planned economy or the free market.

The models are more about how to get control over the power and influence but are very light on what to do next.

Wow, these are very interesting libraries. I hadn't heard of either before today but they both look similar to what I am trying to find. Have you used either of them? I wonder if anyone uses them in production.

Agreed, every languages do established and growth into a mature language. Swift was born and constantly learns every languages for the last 30 years of pros and cons including Rust, Go and Ruby.

Swift is built on LLVM (Compiler designer) and CLang which both are developed by the same group but they do not forget children who can learns Swift from young age for robotics, electronics, 3D and many things could be done with Swift.

More is need to be done on tooling before Swift will be on par as Java and C ecosystem.

In the same analogy, why choose Tesla or electric powered vehicles when other car manufacturers are established? Keep learning and improve it.

It shouldn't matter. If BBC had the links, they obviously had the content too. BBC's computers downloaded the CP and stored it. Therefore Facebook should report them either way.

Distinction between sending links sending images + links makes no sense in this case. Both proves BBC downloaded CP.
Now that's it's open source, it should be easy to fix it.
My thought exactly. The article doesn't give any numbers on how many customers, messages, "tribes", queries per sec, or anything. This market just doesn't sound very big, and it's probable that a plain old CRUD app would handle it just fine.

Let's say someone sent you a file, that was encrypted in such a manner (4096-bit RSA, maybe?) that you had no way - indeed, no entity on the planet had the means - to decrypt it.

Yet - unbeknownst to you - that file contained something so illegal, it would cost you your life if you knew about it.

Is possession of that file still illegal? Or does it only become illegal when you have knowledge of its contents? Does having that knowledge then entail a potential for "thoughtcrime"? What if you (somehow) imagined the exact information that was contained in that file - before seeing the file? You now have the knowledge, but you never saw the information - is it now illegal? Or - what if you created a very large number that matched the unencrypted value of the file? Does possession of that number become illegal?

Illegal enough to forfeit your life?

Yes, old people. There is a strong variation on what the consequences radiation has on people depending on age. They won't have any more children and cancer is slower to develop in old people. And also, it is like with smoking. Some people smoke all their life and live past 90 years of age. Others don't. Overall the consensus is, that smoking kills the average person sooner or later. And we cannot know, how much their life is going to be shortened by their stay in the zones with higher radiation. Radiation is also not a black and white thing. There is plenty of natural radiation all over the earth, and of course a lot of cosmic radiation. And there is nuclear radiation spread around the globe as the consequence of the nuclear tests in the 60ies. So the exclusion zone only marks the region, where the radiation level is such, that it is considered unsafe for permanent residency.
Your observations are correct with respect to the part of Africa I come from. When you come of age you just pick an empty piece of land next to your family and build your home. We used to use wood from trees you cut down yourself but now the trend is to use bricks. The bricks are "home made", and don't go through any quality checks. All in all there are few homeless people.

It is also possible for a whole family to live in two rooms. I don't come from a family that does that but it happens. Everyone sleeping on the floor with a bed for the parents.

Having a lot of smart people work in parallel is fun but it would be far more productive for all of them to work together.

Here is a crazy thought for these kind of contests, make the first round competitive and award to the winner team. Then make a second collaborative round where everyone who gets a pull request accepted gets invited to see the code in action.

We need the money to go towards helping create open source communities instead of reusing the competitive approach from academia.
As someone who recently needed such assistance, you might be surprised by who will gladly render that support when you actually need it.
I agree with both statements. I still think that Sed & Awk is the better starting reference, as it begins with basic tools.

There's a conspiracy theory going around that he was killed by The Man, who is resorting to tricks like CGI to pretend he's still alive.

I'm not sure what the motivation for killing him and continuing to pretend that he's alive would be, but then again, I don't understand most conspiracy theories.
The point boils down to, is time invented or discovered?

Most science (I think) presumes that time was discovered (before recorded history for obvious reasons).

Critics argue that it's invented to help orient our perspective of events.

Even assuming it's true, that's not an impressive claim. Frameworks in those three languages are not known for their speediness.

I think a lot of the resentment felt by the rural American poor has to do with their perception that they are constantly ignored or overlooked, while similarly impoverished inner-city minorities are at least given some kind of institutional sympathy. It's hard to say how true this really is, or how much of it is simply further fuel for pre-existing racism, but apparently this perception is ubiquitous enough that it can be leveraged to win national elections.

I will say the events of the last year have definitely opened my eyes to the situation. The thing I've noticed is that it actually is harder to sympathize with the white, rural poor than it is with the inner-city minorities, at least for me - even though I want to sympathize and I acknowledge their suffering is probably more or less equal to the inner-city minority poor. I suppose the reason I find it more difficult to feel equivalent sympathy is that it's hard to get over the fact that the white rural poor seem to constantly cling to counter-productive political/world-views that perpetuate their poverty and act against their interests. I mean it's just really hard to allocate significant sympathy towards a large voting-bloc that seems to blame all their problems on terrorism and immigration. But then again, perhaps I am generalizing - I mean I'm just a clueless liberal living in my NYC bubble so what do I know anyway?
No Unitaskers in Your Data Exploration Kitchen
You'll note that a large proportion of these are due to the evacuation, and we do not know how much of that was necessary.

In terms of directly attributable health effects, including deaths, it's nowhere near the worst industrial disaster on record. It's a curious claim.

We'll likely never know whether that was due to the evacuation or simply that the risk were overstated. E.g. consider the Bhopal disaster [1] for comparison - 2259 official immediate deaths in Bhopal vs. 56, and nearly 4000 confirmed dead due to the disaster and 16k+ estimated total deaths, vs. a WHO estimate of 4000 eventual shortened lifespans after Chernobyl (e.g. people whose life expectancy over a period of decades is shortened due to increased cancer risks). Bhopal further caused an estimated 558,000 injuries.

For comparison, the Chernobyl exclusion zone used to be home to 120,000 people. Far more people were actually harmed in Bhopal than even lived near Chernobyl.

Chernobyl is only worse than Bhopal on a single measure: It will take longer before the area is fully safe to use again (but much shorter than people initially thought - as mentioned elsewhere, there is already pressure to open it up to more activity, as background radiation is already down to relatively safe levels).

I do not say this to defend Apple, as this is itself a form of "fuck you" "acrobatics" forced on you by Apple, but if you download Cydia Impactor (a program I develop that has a horrible UI which is about to get at least somewhat better in the next couple days), you can drag the IPA file to the device and it will have you log in with your Apple account (even if you are not a registered developer) and can then automate the entire 7-day free provisioning and installation process, helping this use case.

Also, while I am leaving a comment: the server space is different from Android in that 1) you don't need a UI and 2) there apparently is a sponsor working on the open source project (and it is my understanding that IBM is actually putting in more time than Apple) to make it useful there: Ruby is a language that is going to be a problem for you building either Android or iOS apps, and yet that is certainly not a reason to claim it would be a bad choice of language for coding a website backend.

You are right of course. I still think it is great proposition for at least Apple platform. For client side Apple will push it for greatness for server side it is still too early.
Just want to be clear that I don't want to paint to rosy a picture of what poverty looks like in Central America. It's not uncommon to see a single mom with a family of three or more kids living in a tin shack with a dirt floor. It's fucking heartbreaking to see. And you know that you could spend a few hundred bucks and help change their lives, but there are a billion more people just like them in the world. We in the west have no idea how good we have it. It's really hard to understand how the rest of the world lives unless you see it directly.

Even just watching a documentary doesn't really capture the scale of it like spending three months traveling from town to town and seeing nothing but abject poverty every where you go. You really do get an understanding of why people risk their lives to come to the US.
Build a desktop computer together. 5 is a little young to start actual programming, especially if they're just learning to read. But putting together a computer from scratch is more like legos and in the process you can teach them about what each part does (power comes from the P/S at different levels, the CPU does all the calculations like addition/subtraction, HD holds data and memories forever, RAM holds it temporarily, etc)

I built one with my son when he was around the same age. Not sure how much computer knowledge he gained from that experience but it was still a fun project

To be fair, there's a difference between long-term storage and working memory. The magnetic-core memory you're talking about is RAM, not storage. Though it is looking like the two may converge some time in the future, until now "working memory" (RAM) in computers has always been far lower-density than storage, but far faster, for use in computations (and also volatile, unlike storage which is non-volatile). It's the equivalent of comparing your brain's short-term memory (when thinking about a problem) to your hand-written notes. Punch cards are indeed the appropriate comparison.

But to get back to your original point, a washing-machine-sized storage machine is perfectly acceptable if that's all your technology allows. In fact, it'd even be acceptable now, if it allowed you to replace what currently takes a whole data center's worth of hard drives. I'm sure Google would be ecstatic if they could store all of YouTube on a single machine the size of a washing machine.

Justinmind Pro versus Enterprise: which is right for you?
That's a bit like saying you're know 'a lot' about SSD design because you know taking a hammer to it breaks the computer in some way.

I think we probably know a lot less than laymen assume. Its a big conversation to define "what we know" but "a lot" assumes at theoretical and experimental groundwork that most likely doesn't exist. I find the research I've been exposed to is a mile wide but an inch deep.

If we had more depth, we'd be hobby coding AI because we'd understand the basic concepts the same way a even jr developer can do enough research to hobby code a complex and featured 3D game engine, something a coder from the 60 or 70s couldn't do. We simply don't have these kinds of understandings.

I preferred to install this with python3 on Ubuntu16.04, the make process from the repo is messy. Once you have cloned the sources and have vizdoom installed with pip3, you can dive right in to installing tensorflow with pip3 (and cuda if you have the hardware)

For now I believe tensorflow-1.0.1 and cuDNN-2 with cuda 6.5 support vizdoom for compute level cards 2.0 and higher, at least thats what a search suggests.

Pretty much anything that compiles to good native code can be 100 times faster than "frameworks written in PHP, Ruby and Python". At least if we're talking MRI/CRuby and CPython, and especially without running multiple workers in those languages.
It's plenty hard in an age before mechanization. You have to:

-source materials and have them delivered

-employ expert engineers and craftsmen

-manage the financial needs of a project without electronic communication

-ensure safety without the sophisticated techniques and supplies we take for granted in construction today (hard hats?)

It's worth noting that the great pyramid of Giza was actually the third attempt, after the first pyramid collapsed under construction and the second had to be "bent" to avoid collapse as well.

So I think it's fair to say that big building was actually quite difficult, even for seemingly simple projects.

Ok, so maybe you can find a few situations in which Android might be a better solution that iOS. Congratulations. Android for the win. But there are many, many craptons of successful iOS apps out there that might like to be able to use services running on e.g. Linux. The existence of useful roles for Android devices won't make those go away.
I have three five year olds. I been looking into this and I'm considering some of the "programming" games available for android since they have android tablets. They have to work without being able to read, though, so that's an added challenge.

Lightbot, Robotizen and Bit by Bit look promising. Tynker appears to require reading.

There are several Scratch-based applications out there, like Scratch, Jr. There's even a "PBS Kids" version of Scratch, Jr., which may be the best place to start.

We received a 3d printer just over a year ago, but mostly they are interested in small toys rather than actually creating anything. I've tried signing up for "teacher" resources for 3d printers, but they always want you to be affiliated with a school. Not much help for parents. That's a big hint to anybody developing STEM curriculum - it starts at home. Get the parents involved, please.
