The technology interests me and I would gladly work on a system that implemented such features.

As an ethical programmer, I'd be sure to incorporate security, anonymization, and be able to draw the line so that I can help businesses make more money (since that's what they pay me for), and advance technology at the same time.

This is only unethical when it's used in a system that infers more information aside from general demographics (which, BTW nearly everywhere collects), and makes them vulnerable to interception outside of the pizza company.
Liberal arts troll reporting. Starting my prereqs for a masters in CS this summer. It'll take me quite a bit longer to complete than someone who started with a BS in CS (basically I'm taking enough undergrad courses to fill several semesters, before even getting to MS work). However I was a developer for several years before this leap, and I feel pretty comfy with math things. Also working on reproducing papers to develop chops, in my spare time so my dev skills don't go to nil. Excites me since I've always wanted to grow to this level as a dev, I just never had an excuse to go for the CS degree till ML came along.

Got one of this for my lawn about 8 years ago and it was probably the best investment i've made for the lawn. Not only does it remove the maintenance but it also keeps the grass cut to a certain length, drying out the weeds and fertilising the grass with the smaller cut off parts. On top of that it's electric.

I agree, trees would be better but in your situation i can only recommend it.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, mine been running for 8 years with only 1 battery replacement and the occasional razor blade replacement. The climate where i live is really rainy and it has survived so far.
The technology has an opensource version and enterprise version. Let me explain..

GRAKN.AI is made of 2 core components:

1. Grakn: the storage (i.e. knowledge base) where you store data

2. Graql: the language to retrieve the data
Both Grakn and Graql is opensource and will always be opensource, forever. Just like MySQL, Hadoop, Spark, etc.

GRAKN.AI Enterprise is a commercial distribution (which will be released in 3 months), which comes with:

1. Cluster manageent: monitoring and provisioning

2. Security: authenticaion and custom user access right (granular separation of access for users based on different portions of the data model)

3. Natural Language search: both fuzzy string matching and NLP search

4. Knowledge IDE: and IDE for UI-driven knowledge modeling, and IDE to develop the model, and all kinds of modeling and analysis tool to help you manage your knowledge base.

All 4 features above are not available in the opensource distribution. To get them, you need to purchase GRAKN.AI Enterprise. The user can decide to purchase them when they need them.

I hope that helps? Let me know if that makes sense. :)

It makes an internal knowledge graph as one uses the product (stored in postgres, runs fast). It builds an object model on the fly as a side-effect of using the product, using relationships, numbers, etc as knowledge at an atomic level where words are secondary. The best info organizer (for my style at least) that I know of, though (so far) less feature-rich than many products. I hope the About page at that link explains the present and future well.

A lot of bootcamp / self-trained devs went into front-end JS for the money. Now that it's saturated, time to move onto the next buzz word. A foundation of CS fundamentals will still be lacking.
Nature produce plans - nature produced you and you have plans...And if you have plans it's not too much of a stretch to say other living things have plans too, and their degree of planning varies depending on their level consciousness, memory and intelligence. The detail of planning is a continuum between non-life, virus, microbes, plants, animals, and humans. The intention in planning, however, is mostly constant.
Does it particularly matter what language it's in? You can build distributed system in any language.

Their documentation and demos shows that you describe the entities, entity state and events in their own domain specific language as a schema. The engine that manages all of these entities can be in whatever language they want, they haven't publically stated. But I have feeling it's in scala. This is the cool bit.

Then they have integration with unity, and other engines. The unity integration has something that will read the schema and auto gen some code, which will allow you send off command/events to the distributed system they've built.

Defiantly useful. But it's easy to replicate with a good team of engineers.

Honestly, I wrote a wall of text about this, but I think the benefit to ShotSpotter is that it isn't a human calling it in. The lag time between the shots happening and an officer receiving information about it is so long when a human calls them in that I can see why they wouldn't even bother unless the call was extremely detailed. It isn't like people hang out after shooting at someone, and if the response takes five minutes the shooter could easy be half a mile away even on foot.

If ShotSpotter can give a location to within a couple hundred feet within 30 seconds of shots being fired, then the officers already have a much better chance of doing something useful.

I think the real opportunity would be combining data from ShotSpotter with other data sources and using them for predictive/preventative policing. That's much harder to quantify from a sales perspective though.

Not really, like most micro particle or fiber filaments the thermoplastic resin is the weak part.

Any thermoplastic extruded filament that does not require secondary treatment is going to be heat sensitive.

The filaments that are not heat sensitive are either ones that require substantial heat to extrude in the first place or at then chemically treated to not be thermoplastics anymore.

If you think about this way it's simple, the melting point and the thermoplastic point of the end product needs to be substantially higher than it's operating temperature this cannot be done without additional treatment or using a process other than thermal extrusion.

Resins that use chemicals or light to harden are can have thermal resistance properties, metals and other materials that are extruded or bonded at very high temperatures are also resistant to relatively high operating temperatures.

There are probably cases where the current incentives are rolled up in the financing, e.g. 0% interest. But there are also often other fees and, frankly, the available (effectively) risk-free investment options these days have such low rates of return as to be almost indistinguishable from 0%.

They're not giving you deals on the financing because they like you.

Since 'set -e' is used already, a simpler variation is sufficient:

echo "($result)" > "/tmp/all-users.sexp"

Decoupling the process substitution from another invocation allows the error to be detected.
It's not that the actual ML computation is done client side -- that would be way too slow. With Watson and many other ML platforms, you're leveraging someone else's (IBM, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, etc.) computing power.

Some people have made javascript-based ML models to run in the browser (I think some were made for this course[1]), but these are for educational purposes rather than actual use.

Well, I think chatbots are easy enough that it's worth a try. I'm not saying you shouldn't have built it.

It's just that a lot of people (most?) do their online shopping on mobile devices, and switching apps and then copying/pasting URLs is kind of tough in that context.

Anyway, just a question. Good luck!
Octopus Energy | Software Engineer | Soho, London, UK | ONSITE, FULL TIME

We are a tech-focused energy supplier for the UK market and we're looking for diligent software engineers (especially with Python experience) to join us.

We're building a modern, event-driven infrastructure for interacting with both consumers (via the web, mobile and smart-meters) and the industry (eg data flows, consumption forecasting, trading on the wholesale market).

On the server-side, we mainly use Python. Our public site is powered by Django and the Django-REST-framework - we also use Pandas, Numpy and Jupyter for analysis and forecasting, and Celery for background tasks.

We use AWS heavily, employing most of the "Hashistack" (eg Packer, Consul, Terraform, Atlas) as part of a continuous deployment pipeline. See, for example, http://tech.octopus.energy/2016/05/05/django-elb-health-chec...

Client-side, we use React and SASS; our mobile apps are built using React Native.

Engineering standards are high. All code is well tested and thoroughly reviewed.

This is a great opportunity for several reasons:

* We have lots of difficult design challenges to solve. The UK energy market is complicated, dated and process-heavy - there's an awful lot of domain modelling that we need to get right.

* We have difficult technical problems to solve. With the advent of smart meters, we'll soon be processing millions of meter readings a day. We need the right technology in place to handle this smoothly as well as feeding data into a machine learning pipeline that models and predicts consumption.

* There's a great opportunity for disruption in the UK energy market. The big suppliers still dominate, but are not exactly popular. The energy landscape is changing as we move to more dis-aggregated forms of generation, with less predictability, more dynamism and smarter technology.

* You'll be working for a company that’s fighting climate change. We’re the largest investor in solar generation in the UK, and are funding wind and anaerobic digestion. We're helping people to use greener technology and renewable energy, all helping move the UK towards a lower carbon future

We’re looking for someone who thrives on providing alternative opinions, challenging those around them and being challenged, and owning a problem and working on their own initiative.

Are you sure claiming ignorance would make a difference? I tried to google it and found the Wikipedia article on "Ignorantia juris non excusat"[1], which claims that in most countries, not knowing a certain law provides no protection whatsoever.

Might be that the keyless entry systems use that - since they need a challenge from car to engage anyway. Really hard to find documentation though :/
A simpler solution is that the car should not accept a "skipped over" code. This attacks works by jamming code A and storing it for later use. The car owner assumes a signal loss and clicks again, opening their car with code B. If the car knows to reject code B in the future, why can't it also know to reject code A?

Yeah, people tried to argue that the fire risk was lower, but that its because in a large number of cases the insulation was not actually installed, or was installed so poorly that it didn't improve the R value and therefore unlikely to be a fire risk.
> unless signed as a contract prior to the purchase, of course.

Not quite. There is no need to sign anything, what matters is if the EULA was included in the sale contract (so, the buyer was aware that the willingness of the seller to sell you the product depended on the buyer accepting those additional terms as part of the contract). On the other hand, if you do indeed sign an additional contract afterwards on your free will that limits your rights, that might very well be enforcable. But the point is that there is no legal necessity to sign such a contract in order to use the software that you have bought.

That is a useful point, but not reason to disagree. In this case a cheap test that indicates you need a better test is useful. The risk of false positives needs to be considered, but that is for medical professionals. Even if the ultimate answer is for most people nothing more is done it still gets people into the doctor to explain what else they need to look for before a test is done.
> On the other hand, if you work on medium-sized systems (and those are much more common than large ones), immutability is too expensive to work with.

Care to elaborate on your experiences here? Mine have been the opposite for smaller systems.

> Only if you're stupid enough not to package your dependencies, if you use distribution not suited for servers (like Fedora or Ubuntu non-LTS), or if you use external repositories you don't control that don't have stable retention policy for packages. And mind you, these three were always a bad idea. Appearance of Kubernetes and other magic faerie dust of Docker haven't changed it.

Valid point -- though I would still argue that packaging and distributing dependencies at the container level is easier to get right than at the system level. I might be in the minority, but having managed custom RPM repositories for projects and leveraged tools like FPM, (Effing Package Manager), the move to containers was a huge win in terms of flexibility (each container having its own dependencies) and organization.

He's probably talking about the conclusions your average SSC readers ends up drawing - a literate, wordy reinforcement of the status quo and "problems are hard". Whether this is Alexander's intended effect is another story.
And just for reference, at least in the hobby community, these are called in-runners and out-runners. An in-runner has the rotor on the inside and just a shaft that sticks out; an out-runner has the stator on the inside and the outer body of the motor rotates.
Well, I am currently developing a full-blown back-end service using AWS containers, but for a prototype I got it going as a simple Python script, based on an outline I found on github. Took a few hours.

Basically you get your source speech as an uncompressed WAV file, create an IBM Bluemix account (free trial), create a Watson "app" on the site (basically gives you some credentials for calling the API), and then write a script to upload your WAV file to the API and decode the JSON response.

It gets more complex when you want to start parallelizing the process to make it faster, and dealing with the results in an intelligent manner, but the initial proof of concept is remarkably easy.

If I recall, the Google one was even easier - no script at all, did it all with curl I think.

> The one emotion that outpaced anger in Berger’s study was awe, the feelings of wonder and excitement that come from encountering great beauty or knowledge, such as a news report of an important discovery in the fight against cancer.

I find this incredibly encouraging. I try to be mindful of what feelings I spread on social media. I've seen too many friends fall into the "perpetual rage" trap, where they grow addicted to news that makes them angry and keep seeking out angrier and angrier pundits and ultimately fall into obstinate-pouting and irrationality.

The sense of awe and wonder are what I try to spread the most of online, but it's difficult. Spreading outrage is easy. It doesn't take much thought and the memes fit into headlines. Awe and wonder require research and understanding. What's amazing about a scientific discovery doesn't fit into a headline. You have to read the whole story to get what's epic in the article.

If the cure for outrage is awe, then we have to figure out how to squeeze awe into 140 characters.
I don't think the problem is (ba)sh the language, but rather the idioms it implements.

It's usually a bad idea to begin writing the result before knowing that all input is there. That's like a server announcing a 200 OK and beginning to stream, only later detecting I/O error. It's difficult to deal with such a server as a client.

More generally, in pipelines we deal with pairs of programs that are only connected by a text stream, with no possibility to communicate out-of-band conditions. In `PRODUCER | CONSUMER`, PRODUCER can't tell from a sigpipe whether CONSUMER crashed or has read all the data it needs. And CONSUMER can't know whether PRODUCER crashed or if it should take action on the results.

Most scripts don't really need the take-action-immediately level of concurrency. It's sometimes nice to be concurrent (use multiple CPUs at once). But the cases where the processed data can't be buffered at least in a temporary file before taking action are really rare.
Anyone know how Android Auto (and Car Play) compare to the functionality exposed through the OBD port?

I have Android Auto and love it for navigation/music, but it is missing any car specific controls, eg. climate controls, reporting speed, maintenance, etc. I have to exit out of Android Auto and into Sync to access some specific functionality only available through the Sync touchscreen.

Is this just a case of the manufacturer needing to provide the right app, or is that information not available to third party apps running in those environments?
That's a question that has to be answered by lawyers and judges. Personally, I doubt that blanket disclaimers really do much of anything in my jurisdiction.

I was expecting a discussion of the minimum wage that Walmart lobbies for in order to hurt smaller competitors. Probably expecting too much subtlety.
I never bought this argument that somehow Walmart is abusing the system.

Abusing the system implies that only if Walmart stops doing the abuse, somehow abuse will stop, but this clearly is not the case.

Contrary to what writers of this article believe, prices are not formed in isolation of buyer and seller, in this case labor is being sold, and if Walmart does not lower the salaries and transfer the savings to the customers then some other company is going to beat the to it and manage to provide the cheapest good for the same quality.

Most people believe that when a company does something X, to achieve a reduction in costs, then it simply uses it to increase it's own profit margin, but they don't understand that instead of increasing their current profit margin, they can increase their future profit margin by selling their products for less by passing that lower cost to the customer.

Calling it a 'Walmart' tax is a spin on things which is aimed to invoke emotional imagery, it's like if NJ lawmakers called a tax as 'Tesla tax' because by bypassing the dealers they are putting more people out of job and on welfare, therefore the tax which will be used increase the benefits is 'Tesla Tax'.

There is a wide welfare structure in America, and the market will reflect that. If you give certain group of people free healthcare, then their employers will stop providing them with healthcare, if they give 3% 401K contribution to all working employees then yes, their employer's contribution will go down by 3%.
I found "An Introduction to Statistical Learning with applications in R" to be very useful.
You don't need PKI for this - the car and the key have pre-shared keys.

All you need is to include a counter in the signal that is incremented for each button press. The car remembers the last counter value it receives and ignores any before that. Obviously the counter needs to be encrypted in some way but it's not exactly difficult.

I'm kind of amazed this still happens in 2016. Or maybe it doesn't. The cars could be old.
I'd assume that "capitalism" is meant to refer to Android, with its open competition among as many vendors as want to build hardware that can support the OS, while "communism" refers to iOS, whose ecosystem is by comparison strictly defined and controlled from the Supreme Soviet in Cupertino.

I don't think the comparison works, though, both because smartphone users are free to choose whether or not to participate in Apple's ecosystem, and because Apple's incentives are aligned with the desires of its current and potential customers in ways that those of communist regimes historically have not been.
