The incorrect IP was assigned to his partner. The "correct" IP, presumably of the criminal, was someone else entirely apparently.
I've seen all of these situations thousands of times, and I don't even work in a hospital (yet). There has not existed a single EMR I've ever seen that makes any sense whatsoever to the individuals using it. I understand it from the bigger picture, but when things are directly impacting patient care, something needs to be done.

I've likewise been extremely interested in reforming EMRs. It's a precarious field to get into, but I am definitely very interested in pursuing it (perhaps after medical school, though).
The story goes, according to my boss with her signed letter of appreciation for her 20 year service to the company, that when Steve came back to Apple the first thing he did was cut the research team.

The rationale being that Apple is not in a position to do the R in R&D and instead will focus just on the D to survive.

In turn he starts slashing the D that won't yield results, while focusing on the ones that will.

And being that he was now single handled in charge the most he can focus on is being in the center of four quadrants, hence putting everything on the table into just four buckets:

1. Consumer
2. Professionals
3. Hardware
4. Software

1 being the thing that Steve gets. 2 being the thing that Steve wants. 3 being what Apple does best and 4 being what adds value.

Now everything Apple does runs off this premise.

The premise worked well enough to pump out the iBook, iMac, iPhone, to then the MacBook and MacBook Pro, to the Mac Pro, Mac mini.

Then he died.

In his place he passed the legacy to an operator. Because the operator's goal is two folds: keep improving things and keep making things efficient.

Tim Cook delivered on the latter and he's working on the former.

The clones being the ones that can take the baton and run with it.

It'll be here soon enough. The next generation is starting to take shape. And there will be leaders that take the stage to lead each quadrant.

PS: Square aped this strategy, that's why Jack Corsey was a favorite of Steve's. Square sells you the hardware at cost and gives the software away free, they scale by latching on to the hack of reselling you points on a merchant account.
I read this bracing myself for the usual kafkaesque story of somebody jailed for months or years on a groundless charge, going through endless sloppy trials, hysterical sentencing, and the predictable tragic consequences on career, relations, together with the trauma and abuse of being jailed.

But this case happened in the UK, not the US. After he was "arrested" this man appears to have spent a grand total of three weeks "living with his mother". After these three weeks, his laptop was returned to him by the police and he had been cleared from all charges. However, he laments that "because of what happened" he's suffering of PTSD and he's unable to go back to work. That during the three weeks he was away, his younger son would cry. That the £60k compensation he received from the police for the mistake it's not enough, since he "didn't even get two and a half years' wage". That he hasn't had his day in court, and he needs the world to know he's not a paedophile. The events happened six years ago.

I might be underestimating the impact on one's life and mental health of this kind of things. But this story smells of trying to get a better deal or of some deeper personal issue.
The story needlessly confuses the issue of the wrong IP address with the fact that his actual internet account was owned by his partner. The two have nothing to do with each other.

The real IP the police were after belonged to someone else living in a different house.
So, not a common case, but how about when trying to schedule an event dynamically that starts on an unknown date in the future and lasts for N days beyond that?
It's 500 Internal Server Error for me.

> Would you support the same penalty if your local bookseller was found to have purchased a batch of counterfeits?

The difference is that Amazon a sophisticated, knowledgeable seller with a lot of smart people who undoubtedly understand the problem and how to solve it quickly (eliminate co-mingled inventory). I would say a local bookseller is likely to be much less sophisticated when it comes to counterfeit products and how they enter the supply chain.

I don't think it's worse in C++. You can make purely imperative C-like programs in C++ with essentially no boilerplate (with the exception of maybe needing io from the standard library), and build things up as they go.
They (including the 1080ti which is basically a Titan) do support 4x faster INT8, though, so if comparing to a reduced-precision ternary net running a FPGA, that seems relevant. (They mention using INT8 in some of the GPU benchmarks but I'm not sure which graphs are supposed to represent that.)
I'm also curious -- my guess would be the quality and availability of tooling depending on which snowball continues to grow.

I only have experience with hyperschema (from an API design perspective). Would love to hear a current perspective from someone who had experience with both.
Shit I just spent 20 minutes at the store the other day trying to figure out why one HP printer was $80, the next was $120, another was $150, and the most expensive was $200. Other than the size of the box, I had no idea what the difference was. One of them had a fax built in, but surprisingly that wasn't the most expensive model. The most expensive model didn't have the fax.

After two years at two different H&R Blocks I'm not convinced in their expertise. Got an IRS letter demanding payment for some income the first guy said I didn't have to report, I paid to make it go away and it wasn't high enough that I felt like I needed to cause a ruckus with H&R Block. (Besides they'd probably just say I was the one who forgot to include it, not their fault.) The second time the lady assigned to me tried to shoo me away for the evening (because they charge on the final amount of forms they have to file, not the time) rather than wait (I waited) for someone else at the location who wasn't confused by the concept of RSUs to become available. It'll be TurboTax for me this year though I am tempted to do it manually and use the H&R Block forms prior as a template.

Still, my taxes were complicated for 2014 so I was glad for the help. I agree that's ultimately what their value is, along with their promise of assistance should things really go wrong, it's just not usually top-expert help and if it can be replaced by cheap software it should be, even if overall simplification is still the best outcome.
> Are people really so desperate to live in an expensive city that they'd be willing to live in a box?

Certainly, but the thing with expensive cities is that the hard part of that is finding the space and meeting the legal requirements, not getting the box.

That's also the problem in suburbs (though the space problem might be a little easier, legal requirements are at least as much of an issue.)
Clever setup. Very space-efficient. Do you find you get much utility as a standup in the entry way? Or is it used more as a server and you just have the monitor and keyboard there in case you need to log in quickly?

Can you stop doing everything you can to make people hate science. Stop being elitist maybe?
I'm no expert in this area. But I think this is due to the inherent nature of a system where the ads are all pushed by people marketing specific products, rather than a centralized "what is the best product to market to this person right now?" type of system.

It's pretty easy for a toaster guy to say "Amazon, show this ad to people who looked at toasters" without ALSO selectively hiding it from people who just bought a toaster.

It's harder to pin down a pattern indicating the imminent purchase of a toaster. Like for instance, someone seems like they're probably 20 years old, and now they're looking at wedding stuff. They are probably going to be influenced by a toaster ad, but getting it to them would require a toaster manufacturer to set up some pretty complicated shit.
How to Safeguard Your Data from Searches When Crossing the Border
There are no supported devices yet. supposedly next pixel will support
Sort of? If you can actually increase your performance architecturally by doubling your vector width then you double the power dissipated by the relevant bits of your execution and memory systems, true. But doubling performance by doubling power is really awesome. Things like your out of order window size will tend to increase power as the square of their size. And in your typical desktop cpu regime your power scales with cube of frequency.

So if you're lucky enough to have code that can benefit form 256 bit vectors then AVX will double your performance and power then the thermal management system will throttle you back down to regular power and 80% of your regular clock speed for a net of merely a 60% increase in performance. Which is really nice if you happen to be doing all 256 bit wide vector math. If you're only infrequently using vectors your vector speedup will be smaller but so will the increase in power that needs to be overcome so it's still a net win.
Sure. Which is why Last Pass makes you safer if you use it for the long tail of rarely used non-critical passwords. The problem is once you are using Last Pass for those, it becomes more and more tempting to use it for passwords that actually matter, and for those you really really don't want to be using an online password manager.

In fact, for the average person, I am not sure a post-it note full of passwords in their home is a bigger risk than an online password manager. Sure, if someone breaks into their house they are screwed, and that is a relatively easy attack. But on the other hand, any bulk breach leaves them unaffected. A notebook full of plain text passwords in a drawer in your home and a shared memorized prefix that must be combined with the passwords on the list to get the full password seems strictly more secure than a password manager (although slightly less convenient).
I am amazed that a lot of systems don't allow changing of information once entered. I signed up with a new ISP a couple of years ago - one of the biggest ISPs in Australia, and during the phone conversation to set up my plan, the operator heard my first name wrong, substituting a 'v' with a 'b'. I didn't realise during the call (because, well, it IS hard to pick up that nuance audibly) until they sent me my sign on links which of course had the typo in my username. Billing information is also all wrong.

When I told them about it, their response was pretty much "Oh, too bad - once that username is created, it is there for life. You will have to shut down that account and create a new one", meaning I lose all the benefits I got from the promotional transfer.

So I just put up with a wrong first name whenever I sign on or ask for support from them. I still think it is strange that some second or third level support engineer can't just change that info in the database for me, after the proper authentication. I can't believe that something so easy to create over the phone can be so hard to change over the phone.

I think one of the underlying reasons for creating an app which people show and contort their faces to, is to help train facial recognition systems.

Sure, easy to do with lots of photos. But when you've got the model in front of your camera, for hours, pulling all sorts of faces, that data is going to become pretty useful.
I do not get why there still is so much of a hype for regular expressions. They are hard to read and maintain. They have a relatively large syntax. Edge-cases are easy to get wrong with them.

You're thinking of Nvidia's GP100 chip, which does run FP16 twice as fast as FP32. GP100 is only used on the Tesla P100 and Quadro GP100 cards though.

The Titan X Pascal (and 1080ti) uses the smaller GP102 chip, which as znfi pointed out is practically useless for FP16.

> Surely, there could not be any error here. Nothing socially constructed.

There could be. Physicists have been trying very hard for the last 40 years to find something the standard model cannot explain, without success. Some experimentalists are actually disappointed about this.

> Isn't it already borders nonsense that in the universe which is sustained by a couple of fundamental conservation laws there supposed to be hundreds of elementary (presumably fundamental) particles which emerge and disintegrate in time, which is not even an intrinsic property of "more real" things like photons.

You are confused. The standard model has 17 elementary particles (+ anti particles). There are a lot of composite particles, like the ones the article talks about. Not sure what you mean about decays, but photons are a special case, because they move at the speed of light. Other elementary particles, like the heavier quarks, can and do decay.

It appears you misinterpreted the case. His partner's IP address was the one that was mistakenly entered into a system when a typo was introduced. She had nothing to do with it, nor did he.

To be fair, the phrasing of the paragraph when this fact was introduced was hard to parse.

> The IP address passed on corresponded to an internet account held by Nigel's partner. But it had been typed incorrectly, with an extra digit added by mistake.

The typo resulted in a representation his partner's IP.

i.e.:

1.1.1.12 //the partner's
Well inventory Amazon retail imports can be commingled with 3rd party inventory. So just because you bought from Amazon doesn't necessarily mean that it was inbounded by Amazon. It's not an excuse for Amazon, but commingling is a double edged sword and the bad part of it is an extremely difficult problem to solve, yet the benefits are too strong for them to consider turning it off.

Be very careful buying translated books on Amazon. I was sent a copy of a Mark Twain book that was translated into Thai _using Google translate_ and thus entirely unreadable.

Definitely something I'll be looking into more.
>>> Can FPGAs Beat GPUs in Accelerating Next-Generation Deep Learning?

Whoever has worked with FPGA knows that they are completely different to program than CPU/GPU.

They are not competing at all. You can't take some computer developers and have them work with FPGA. That'd be like taking a dude who knows XML and put him on optimizing C++ low level algorithms.

For starters, a FPGA doesn't run programs, it describes hardware components.

Logo[0] was my first programming language on an Apple IIe. I was in 2nd grade and I loved it. You had subroutines, but that's it. Essentially all state was visible (although you could do increasingly more magical-seeming things the more state you hid - a truism that has held since then). It was a lovely way to see the thread of execution.

What an amazing experience to read Papert's[1] Mind Storms[2] as an adult to understand the profound thinking behind Logo.

Why not teach Logo as the first programming language?

Sure, but it's always much more frustrating and disappointing when those tasked with protecting the innocent end up ruining innocent lives. In particular, it's frustrating that better auditing procedures and transparency would prevent things like this from happening.

It's also scary how, due to the persistence of (mis)information on the internet, it is possible to end up with (either undeserved or at least excessive) notoriety that follows you across the world with little chance of escape. Who the hell is going to hire someone when a google search of their name mentions that they were arrested on pedophilia charges? Never mind whether they were innocent.

The New York to Italy example in the article is a bit confusing to me. Seems that there's about 6 hours difference between Milan and New York, and the flight itself is 8~9 hours. Leaving New York at 6PM, arrives Milan at 3AM EST, 9AM Milan time.
"Instead of shifting you earlier to Italian time, it makes you feel it’s even later — that the night is over and it’s already morning." Does the body choose to this because shifting to "already morning" is smaller difference(6 hours) than "still not night time" (18 hours)?

When you work with troubled youth, an accusation of child pornography is almost as bad as it can possibly be. Since the police didn't give him an explanation for the mistake up front, I'm sure he lived under a cloud of suspicion after that, hence the concern about being alone with young women.

For 3 weeks everyone around you assumes you're guilty. How do you prove the absence of pornography in your life when the police have all your equipment?

Yes, it could have been much worse. No, I'm not shocked that it was devastating.

(Update: forgot to add, I imagine there's a very real fear during those three weeks that you'll be permanently separated from your children.)
