Unpopular opinion but having read this book, I think it's a "good" text that is a bit blown out of proportion in terms of how good it is. I'm curious for people that endorse to such a magnanimous degree what other literature they've read and what aspects of SICP in particular they find so superior.
I'm wondering how good/bad the combination is (think"hot yoga"), or if too much stress on cells/heart is simply too much.
Improbable.
To name a few reasons...

- It creates tax havens by allowing corps to claim profits in the country of their choosing. (see Apple Inc.)

- It forces workers in developed countries to compete with workers in countries that don't have adequate human rights/pay. (see Walmart)

- It wreaks havoc on the environment by overproduction and shipping.

- People in underdeveloped countries pay the price for pollution created in developed countries.

- Corporations become huge very quickly and end up having massive influence in politics of several countries.

- Countries ultimately lose their sovereignty to the shareholders of these mega-corps.

The SHAttered attack was made public shortly after browsers deprecated SHA-1 or started flagging SHA-1 in certs as insecure. This specific practical attack may have existed for a while before it was made public. In fact it may have been made public only when it no longer provided practical benefits.

Just some food for thought.

I dunno, my father own Skandiluxe fridge for 15 or more years and only problem are doors slightly leaning on one side which could be resolved by switching their position. Mother has Bosch which has zero problems. Same goes for father's Electrolux washing machine with little issues working also around 15 years. And when i think about it there has been very few failures in anything we buy and if it happens it's usually get fast during warranty period and then after fixing it last, father's plasma LG had​ initially some problem but after fixing works more than ten years. So i can't really share the sentiment about such poor quality of appliances or electronics.

Also pretty much every Samsung or LG washing machine i see in promotion has 10 years warranty on engine, though i would be afraid about electronics.
Unfortunately the opinion seems to show serious forgetfulness on their own part. On page 7, "Doe, however, stated that he could not remember the passwords necessary to decrypt the hard drives and entered several incorrect passwords during the forensic examination." These events took place after the original search warrant but before the finding of contempt. It's curious that these facts are included in the background section but not the legal analysis.
According to Uber, the engineer who was the target of the lawsuit developed a self-driving motorcycle way before he ever worked at Google.

So while Google/Waymo probably have a case, it's not black and white. A lot of techniques developed over years of research was probably stolen from Google, but the truth is Google does not have a monopoly on using LIDAR sensors to train self-driving cars.
Same thought here. He makes it sound like he got to the finish line. This is an infinite journey. Good read though.

> You will surely experience a thorough screening in Israel or Frankfurt.

I think Israel is special, because they use behavioural profiling on you as well.

I've been through Frankfurt on an inter-EU flight, and we were put into the priority lane because things were quiet. The priority lane only had (has?) a metal detector, no body scanner.

So if the body scanners were really about security, why would they have a lane that allows you to bypass them completely?

I once flew from Frankfurt to Barcelona without anyone checking my passport (I am not European but have a valid residence permit for an EU country). Did online checkin and printed my boarding pass. No checked luggage, and automated boarding pass scanners at the gate. So yeah, really thorough...

My company (~50 people) has been using D in production for several years.
We rely on gdc (we measured it generates the fastest code for our usage).

Nearly once per year, a blocking bug sneaks into the compiler and needs to be worked-around (crashes on invalid code are easy to avoid ; sometimes, it's a little more tricky, but we've never been blocked for more than 1 day). The maintainers are very active, though, and it's generally quickly fixed, provided that I report the bug myself.
There's also been some friction when it came to cross-compilation (definitely doable, but not as easy at "apt install mingw-gcc").

In the team, the adoption went well ; coming from C++, switching to D feels natural. The syntax is more concise and consistent than C++14 syntax. The standard library handles so much stuff (md5, sending emails, command line parsing, filesystem, process creation) that most of our projects don't depend on any other external library (nor do they depend on any OS-specific stuff). The fact that all variables are initialized by default makes it hard to have non-deterministic behaviour ; and the fact that the "buffer" abstraction (aka "Span"/"Slice"/"string_view"/"ptr+len") is in the language makes it really easy to write code which is concise and secure.

C++ has been slowly catching up since 2011, however, why wait?

I agree that happiness is subjective and personality trait expression may very well have a genetic component, but I wouldn't dismiss societal and environmental factors entirely.

That's an interesting idea. But it arguably wouldn't have helped Mr. Rawls. Investigators claimed to know what they sought, so they'd still argue that he was holding out.

Maybe it's safer to keep encrypted stuff anonymously in cloud storage. Mr. Rawls could have run his Freenet node on an anonymously-leased VPS, used Tor onion services for the various WebGUIs, and accessed it all via Tails. There would have been nothing local to go after.
> Also pretty much every Samsung or LG washing machine i see in promotion has 10 years warranty on engine, though i would be afraid about electronics.

So if the engine breaks, they will fix it. But what if the engine works fine, but the lid is filled with rust? Who is going to use a washing machine that looks like it could drop pieces of rust into the dirty clothes at any given time. And since the lid is not covored by the 10 year warranty, you can either throw out the whole machine or pay to get the lid repainted.

> I'm saying that unless they have a confession from the defendant that he was trying to kill this guy, or his diary dictating that, which they should include in the story were that the case, then this is just stupid.

If that was the standard for a criminal prosecution, we'd rarely convict anyone.

> The presidence this case might set forth is terrifying. It provides a never before seen limitless weaponization of the justice system, which will be abused by those without morals, those who have a lot to lose, and those with more $ to attack anyone they like.

I'm thinking more of the "You cannot be Mommy!" scene from the movie Ratatouille
>2,300 students ... The rope, provided by Pennsylvania Power and Light Co., had been intended for use in heavy construction, and was rated to withstand 13,000 pounds of stress.

What's astounding is that at least in this case simple arithmetic could have shown it was unsuitable - since 13,000 / 2,300 is just 5.6 pounds - a force any below-average middle schooler can obviously exert at least briefly (being well under 10% of their body weight and for reference the weight of less than two stacked 13-inch Macbook Pro notebooks[1] -- which would weigh 6 pounds. A gallon of milk weighs 8.6 pounds.) It could have been expected that perhaps every one of those students would exert it continuously through the whole contest to say nothing of their maximum extra effort on top of it.

While 13,000 pounds is very strong - a full 6.5 tons - it sounds like a simple arithmetic check could have saved the disaster mentioned in the write-up. The lesson - or at least one lesson - is, never feel above a simple calculation.

I guess the idea of a cable lock here is to use it so that it attaches the bottom or backside of the hard case to the inside of the locker, so that the cable lock is only accessible from inside the hard case. This is, after all, how safes are attached to floors and/or walls.

Then, the thief would have to destroy either the hard case, or the whole locker. That would be slow and noisy. It's not impossible but deters intruders who will simply perform a cost-benefit analysis and move on (but will surely destroy your clothes in revenge).
Ok, I see the logic if you want to set up some sort of continuous automation pipeline. From reading the documentation, it looks like this sets up a whole suite of services for a deployment, including CloudFront etc.? Anyone got a sample of a real world deployment using this framework?

What didn't I understand? He insists there has to be a reason why we cry (as understood by tearful weeping) and spends the rest of the article trying to ascribe a social purpose to it. His rejection that crying is therapeutic is a cornerstone to that, and it ignores a whole range of alternate lines of inquiry.

Exercise has a host of indirect (endorphin production), secondary (improved circulation), and tertiary (self-image) effects that improve mood. I think his failure to imagine other reasons for crying are just as limiting as trying to deny those effects of exercise because sweat doesn't contain mood improving hormones or excrete mood worsening ones.
> Since the study demonstrates that psychology is unreliable, I think it's something other than abuse.

Your comment is exactly my point though. I suspect that you see the number 30% and equate that with "bad".

However, if 30% is more reliable on average than our own personal heuristics, then doesn't it seems shortsighted to write off every bit of psychology research as "bad science"?

Uber has massive costs as it scales, but unlike Amazon that has fixed costs, Uber's problem is that it has massive VARIABLE COSTS in three areas: driver recruitment, local advertising and local regulation.

The work Uber needs to do to onboard a driver in Alberta, Canada is completely different from Ontario, Canada (e.g. drivers needing a commercial class 4 vs consumer class 5 license).

As a result, they are facing unique regulations that is making it difficult to automate the work that is being done in each local market.

Test if we can improve your Deep Learning with Super Resolution pre-processing
Hi

We developed Super Resolution - a new way to boost and clean a given input data set for deep learning - and ss a consequence, dramatically improve accuracy of predictions.

Our first application is within Brain Imaging (https://tinyurl.com/koxxr26), providing for a level of resolution that hasn't yet been seen before in the brain. This has enabled us to make predictions for our customers where none has been possible before.

We realized our pre-processing platform can provide benefits in other industries; and we are looking for additional use cases/data sets to validate with. If you have collected or are collecting any IOT, Sensor, or related data where you would like to test if our approach at cleaning and boosting the volume of data can help your predictions from Deep Learning please feel free to send inquiries to info@truustneuroimaging.com.

Thank you.
You have to login to view this bug. No thanks.
Good chat, despite it's mildly aggressive nature. Here's what:

So, an organisation that basically labels everything in the world as either a potential carcinogen or carcinogen [0] when the second lowest score they award still reads as 'potential carcinogen' is more powerful than actual evidence, accrued across enormous longitudinal studies, first from scandinavia [1] but backed significantly by australia [2] and integrated into a plausable mechanism for increases in >70 year olds [3] combined with a finding that would actually revolutionise physics and biology for suggesting a new mechanism for the interaction of electromagnetism and biology?

Alarmists are everywhere [4]. But that doesn't mean they are right. It's easy to listen to fear, but just because someone is screaming and crying doesn't make them right. Serious claims deserve to be looked at seriously, and this one has been throughly examined, in research that is continuing. And it continues to be debunked by huge datasets - not just the referenced studies but also the million woman study [5][6] and others.

So yes, I repeat, for anyone versed in science, physics and with their head screwed on straight, the science is settled, and I challenge you to demonstrate either a mechanism or a throughly vetted dataset that proves otherwise.
And i'll remind you that hitting the first answer on google does not constitute research.

First of all, it's an introductory text that provides a practical whirlwind tour of introductory computer science. Second starts from a straightforward place (when the first edition was written it was quite reasonable to assume that a student arriving at university, even MIT, might never have programmed a computer before) and after one lecture on the scheme language, dives in to practical details. Third, unlike, say, your average introductory programming class it doesn't get hung up on syntax; unlike an average introductory algorithm class the algorithm examples are typically on stuff a student would already know (numerical methods, etc) rather than super-abstract "consider a graph..." Finally it's an engineering text: if you do the problems you end up writing an interpreter for the thing that seemed so amazing on the first day and you discover you know how all the bits fit together.

What you are saying is right about Uber's current business. But that is not true for self-driving cars.
