Those local tech leads would have to amount to good management and experienced leadership. If you have such people and business situation allows for #2, sure.

#3: I agree with you and see those perks as sign of workplace incompatible with family (or with having friends who are not colleagues). I also consider them incompatible with real meritocracy - your ability to be highly social is more important to your career then your ability to produce (including ability to communicate in work oriented situations). However, startups attract and want to attract different crowd of people, so I am acknowledging it as a reality.

Edit: I also found it easier to explain things to juniors in person. A lot of learning (both ways) happened out random remarks or simple questions nobody would call about. The industry should have place for juniors too, for future sake.
Purism already ships qubes as an install option (and gives a small donation to qubes if you opt to use it).

This is the reason I bought a Libre 13 laptop from them - they were already certified to work well with qubes.

No. He is a billionaire, which obviously means he is a visionary. These characterizations only apply to mere mortals and other dumb fucks such as those who contribute to Facebooks' MAU numbers.
What did the app reviewer suggest? May as well talk about it openly now that you are pulling the app.
Probably it was not the vision of these types of projects, but this reminds me a lot of Qubes OS[1]. I actually have occasionally used docker (lxc) to run some applications that I was not trusting, and I was controlling them using cgroups. Right now my chrome browser is running like that.

Worth pointing out that Zuckerberg's obliviousness was very much like the guy featured in the OP, and he was punished for FaceMash and apologized for it [0].

He then created TheFacebook as an alternative to Harvard's online facebook, which was purportedly in development. The official facebook was taking longer because of worries about scraping of user information [1]:

> Davis said that the principle complication with the creation of an official facebook was figuring out how to design an interface so that directory information could not easily be compiled without authorization.

That said, Zuckerberg's TheFacebook got around that because students apparently were happy to upload their information to his service. And the rest is history.

Saying we shouldn't be wasting a ton of resources on private cars is a "drastic reduction in the quality of our lives"?

Quite frankly, I would much prefer to not have the costs and issues of owning a private vehicle.
Definitely need that gratification kick. Thanks, I'll definitely start this.
Um, what? Tunneling costs are blocking​ mass transit in high-density regions.

Light rail and subways are key to effective public transportation and affordable connected cities. Buses are best for last-minute/first-mile transport.

Commoditization of tunnel boring technology around a couple standard sizes for any soil condition would radically reduce subway construction costs around the nation. That same technology could be leveraged for commercial transportation as well.

I strongly suspect "tunnels for cars" is just marketing. Elon is known for doing his research, and the research shows that traffic is reduced by getting people off the road... Traffic is the equilibrium of convenience and discomfort, adding roads just puts more people on the road.

Making mass transportation more convenient and cheap is vital to reducing traffic... the other piece is zoning for high density to support mass transportation.
We released some versions for ARM but in the end ARM requires too much effort to support right now. As ARM64 matures and Docker gets full multi arch image support we'll revisit this.
So, the industrialists in Western nations are both keeping Western industry from collapsing to China and actually reducing overall CO2 emissions?

That's very heroic of them. Seems pretty upsetting that the masses are too ignorant to understand this.
If people having opinion X, are banned on social media

I'm not in favor of people being banned, but of ideas being flagged - not censored. For example, I don't want to do any kind of business with anyone who is advocating policies that I have a strict moral disagreement with. The nature of that moral disagreement could vary. Popular sentiment should be employed not to determine whether a given piece of media is acceptable or not, but to categorize it; and the strength of those categorial associations can then in turn inform the decisions of advertises, researchers, and so on.
The C standard document N1967 has an overview of pros and cons of annex K and concludes suggesting deprecation or outright removal.

Have you seen many of the discussions around tools like Javascript, Golang, Django, Docker? Quite often they devolve into tiny opinionated nuances and you have to pull your head out of your laptop and ask yourself "what year is it??"
You would be wrong. Uploading your photo to a commercial service that is publicly accessible does not allow someone or anyone else to use your photo for other commercial purposes, such as in an advertisement, without a model release [0].

The rules governing consent and data of human subjects are even more stringent in academia, hence the existence of institutional review boards.

If you want to make the case that the gender roles are not outdated, be my guest.

The parent brought up the idea of society collapsing. Not me. If you have something to add please do, otherwise you are just kicking up dust.

There has been a cultural/ethical discussion going on and a great many people decided that gender roles needed to change. If you 'aren't saying that's what happened here' how is your comment relevant?

All you have attempted to do here is add doubt without adding substance or logic of your own. If you can actually argue your position, go ahead, but engaging in this kind undermining suggests that not only can you not, you are aware of it.

Your other comments on this topic show that your suggestion that you are merely trying to point out that my logic isn't as strong as it could be is a misrepresentation of your view.
You can't have cars driving at 200 km/h on city streets.
The problem with the "fast" lens approach used in Barry Lyndon is there's a tradeoff between how much light you let in and how much of the scene is in focus (keyword: "depth of field"). If that works for whatever mood you're trying to create, great. But that's not always what a director is going for. You can mitigate this by letting less light in and using more sensitive film or overdeveloping ("pushing" is the term people use) your film to compensate, but that might lead to more film grain than you'd like.

You can use "fast" lenses on digital cameras, too. The benefit is that if you're using increased sensitivity on a modern digital sensor, the noise you get is usually less noticeable than you'd get with film.

Other than the obvious 8 vs 16 bit issue: I don't know any platform where bit shift left is faster than addition.

Usually it's just as fast. But on some platforms, you need to first clear carry bit, because they only have rotate and rotate through carry instructions available.
> Heh, that looks like a ton of fun

Most fun I've had programming in years. Finally something where I don't have to worry right from the get-go if it is secure or not.

> sorry you lost your van though!

So am I. I had a ton of work in that thing and even if the insurance covered the value they did not give me back the many weeks I spent building it.

> Also interesting to know that the pile of Lego Technic parts I've got from my lego bot building days actually might have some resale value :-).

It'd be better if you had some really nice boxed sets from the 60's ;)

> if you have two bits of Lego that are attached, what bin do you put them into?

'Other', then pick them apart and run them through again

> And have you looked at ways to automatically disassemble Legos?

Yes, but this is very hard to do without damage.

> And did any of your purchases have Legos that were superglued together?

I've seen a few bit here and there but for the most part that doesn't happen. Kids are pretty destructive though so you have to count with a good %age of damaged / unusable parts.
"I think there is nothing more boring than reading a bunch of people who never propose anything point out flaws."

This is absolutely correct. Companies are bought and sold along with their data, and the new owners are not necessarily bound by the agreements or motives of their predecessor. Us users generally have no say in the matter. EULA's that appear to promise a bit of privacy, are usually riddled with loopholes.

Identity is a liability, and a favor that we offer to our peers in order to simplify communication. It does not benefit the person being identified, so much. If I cannot have the identities of the people and projects who consume my data, then I will operate as a fresh, expendable identity.
That's ungodly.
But the “fixed” monthly cost varies depending on the size of your credit line, so there is an effective interest rate of 5% or more.

Does this apply internationally? Also, how would you know if your photo is being used commercially? What if the EULA of every major social network and photo sharing service, grants that service ownership and commercial usage of all of the content that you create with them?
Well, it works fine when I use HDMI for the external display. I have not tested the DisplayPort.

"I can't think of a legal reason for this policy."

Wouldn't it be that you committed financial fraud? Paypal initially allowed you to send/receive payments purely based on the fact that you stated you were an age you were not.

The Paypal signup form does not let you signup unless the DOB given, shows you're over the age of 18.

This guy lied about his age and then had the audacity to write a blog post about how bad Paypal is.

He shows he's willing to lie and also willing to commit financial fraud (as that is what it's considered.) - I for one, am very glad someone like him HAS been banned from Paypal.
> By expanding the training set you mean that a each new sample is added to next training set by default?

Every part that passes through the machine is logged and will be made part of the training set for the next round of training.

> Do you use artificial augmentation of the training set (random rotations, translations)?

Yes, quite a bit. But this is not of the same quality as really having more samples though it is definitely useful.

> Somewhat related aside: I have also worked on a classification task (albeit, much simpler one): detect the direction of grain in a piece of wood. I built the first version by manually extracting features (essentially, a few direction sensitive Gabor filters) so that I could collect a training dataset for CNN.

Srsly. This is the UK so it's well within the limits of small claims. IANAL but the U.K. also has less tolerance of "fine print".

If PayPal closed his account because it was created before he was 18, did they do so because they believe that he didn't have capacity when he signed up? If that is the case then it makes you wonder if any of the TOS apply
Reverse-Engineering Google’s Algorithm
Why do you need Tag member in the Word union?
I have to say this enrages me. The system services are still privileged containers and we are now basically emulating a micro-kernel (very badly I might add with a monolithic kernel). If you want to use a micro-kernel then use a fucking micro-kernel. Hacking a micro-kernel with docker is not the right approach, especially given the stability track record of docker itself. It's a hack and aesthetically unpleasant on all sorts of levels. Not the least of which is that docker itself is one giant hack.
That's a nice solution. I'm reminded of a short video I watched on the Lego factory. One segment of it discussed the machine that put the minifigs' heads on their bodies. There's a big hopper of bodies that get drawn up onto a belt and then a camera makes sure each body is facing the right direction before putting the head on.

What do they do with bodies that are facing backwards? Is there a little side channel that flips them around? Nope, they just get tossed back into the hopper to try again. It's effectively random which way they'll be facing when they get picked up, so they'll eventually get through.

I thought that was a nice illustration of keeping things simple and taking advantage of processes you already have, and seems similar in spirit to this.
That's a great example. I was speculating after having seen an interview with someone blind from birth who had gained limited sight late in life. But it appears the point applies quite well to this case.
Intonation is gratingly bad, and that should be the easiest part. Speech quality, however, is top notch. If you played it for me w/out letting me know it was a software synth I might not notice.
This looks like it was much fun to build - and nice touch using Legos as part of the machine itself.
No business model. Just take the funding and run.
Forget fees, I once tried to buy something in the US from some stranger and he refused to give me his account number and accept a wire even if I paid for everything (and the sum was big enough that PP wouldn't be cheaper). The guy literally thought I want his number for some scam. "Only PayPal, please, it's secure, blah blah blah". Talk about culture shock.

Megaface is not "available easily". You have to email the team and ask for permission to get access credentials: http://megaface.cs.washington.edu/participate/challenge2.htm...

Since so few details about terms of use on the dataset are available, it's reasonable to assume the access control is put up in place for reasons other than bandwidth concerns.
After seeing this, I was reminded I forgot and let my sub lapse.

I go to their site to subscribe, and they are selling a year of the print & digital for $29. That's insane -- they don't even add on postage fees anywhere in the checkout process. It's literally $29, out the door.

I signed up for 2 years and just hope they are around for that time. I can't believe the direct costs of printing and shipping such a beautiful magazine don't exceed $5 per issue (12 issues over 2 years for $60).

Maybe they have found how price sensitive consumers are for their content, or maybe they know they can get higher ad rates with more print, but I don't see how they're even covering their costs for printing and shipping this to me, much less content or editorial staff, etc.
Sigh, I knew someone was going to nitpick on the bio part. I was not trying to give a biology lesson here.

I just said you should be surprised if you get an antibiotic prescribed for a viral infection. Yes, you really should be surprised. That doesn't mean you have to declare the doctor incompetent. It just means you should be surprised and act accordingly. Which means you have to confirm that it's correct, to make sure the doctor is not totally screwing up. Because chances are decent the antibiotics are useless. The chances don't need to be 100% for you to be surprised and to show it too.

Before Erdogan, Turkey had no middle class. You either lived in remote villages and lacked education OR you were "rich" thanks to high level of nepotism. Well, Erdogan changed all this, he moved people to into cities and these people didn't forget and started to vote for him.

Before then, the Kemalist or secular people were very relaxed, they knew from history if some how they lost the government, military coup will restore power. Again, Erdogan changed this.

Even by anti-erdogan majority, Erdogan is seen as the only true politician in Turkey, he knows how to convince or play people/groups. Just ask Gulen Movement!
The dataset as described in the paper linked below-

"In the initial evaluation of our system, we use three voices; one English male and female (M1, F1),
and one Spanish female (F2). The recordings consist of short sentences sung at a single pitch and an
approximately constant cadence. The sentences were selected to favor high diphone coverage. For
the Spanish dataset there are 123 sentences, for the English datasets 524 sentences (approx. 16 and
35 minutes respectively, including silences). Note that these datasets are very small compared to the
datasets typically used to train TTS systems, but this is a realistic constraint given the difficulty and
cost of recording a professional singer"

I don't really know what you are trying to get at. Almost every front-end framework is going to have some type of "proprietary syntax" -- that's basically what a framework is. Even backend templating languages have custom syntax that must be learned.

Otherwise, I guess there is jQuery or web components if you are only supporting modern browsers.
I don't think so. Consider that computers are generally so powerful these days that when running a single application stack their seriously under utilized. The first way people went about getting this going was Virtual Machines (made popular by IBM with its VM/370 OS :-) and that works well but when all of your clients are running the exact same OS down to the same version, it is kind of waste to have 'n' copies of the OS loaded, so containers are a 'semantic' fractioning of the resources where the OS is common but the set of processes are unique to a client. You still need a way to allocate from the single set of resources so containers provide that abstraction.
