But how strict is your accountability? I'll go back to my walmart vs google example.. in google, there is more leeway and understanding about risks.. in walmart, you deviate from procedures and you have a problem.

How strict the rules are is part of the culture.

You're just redefining everything as vague as possible (by changing strictness of accountability to a "simple item" with no details) to say the culture doesnt exist.
>API for commercial services isn't a bad thing per se. A lot of time, it would save time in documentation. Btw, if you have such a privacy concern, Are you not using Facebook, Whatsapp and all other services for free that sell you data, you behaviour to commercial companies.

So you mean to say that its cool to leak my whole family tree data along with AADHAR and PHONE NUMBER to the public? So a novice can know about my sister via Dark net and can use that piece of information?

>Implying I am using Facebook.
>Implying Zuck is forcing you to hand out your fingerprints and shit for better services.
>Implying you can't get SIM without having a Facebook ID.

>I hope you are in the second group that would help make our Country a better place to live in.

Tell me one way AADHAR is making this country a better place and I will counter that challenge without implementing AADHAR.
It's worth remembering this is why Google's AI will always be better than yours - annotation annotation annotation. Only they can afford to throw this much money at a problem

Apache??
Also, we'll get to use amazing AI tools in our projects. That should create a lot work opportunity, even for non-AI experts.
Actual title:

"Amy Reed, Doctor Who Fought a Risky Medical Procedure, Dies at 44"

Why was her name removed?
I don't understand this question. There's nowhere near eough information to even begin giving any kind of meaningful answer. With a question this vague, all you're going to get are platitudes, random anecdotes, etc.

What kind of problem are you trying to solve? In what kind of organization? What do you mean by "AI" and "ML" respectively? What is "production level" to you? And so on.

For some people, production level machine learning is doing linear regression in OpenOffice Calc. For others it's hand-written C code using MPI on a 1000 node cluster with Infiniband interconnects, and the works. What makes sense for you would depend on the problem, the potential value of solving that problem, and the available resources.
What if a guy was in a crime scene with my fingerprints all over it? Because he got that data from AADHAR data base and used it to carry out that crime,meanwhile I was on the vicinity having a good time in a restaurant with no CCTV camera?

Who will prove my innocence?

Bad incidents, but I found the culture at the BBC to be fantastic 3-4 years ago.
If you don't like the law, you can vote, run for office, volunteer, donate to a candidate or nonprofit, or bother your elected officials.

In reality, you can do two things about it;

1. Like it

2. Absolutely nothing

This myth that an honest individual with good intentions can somehow influence the system is harmful and needs to die. If you're not a huge corporation or lobby group, your chances of getting a law changed is for all intents and purposes zero.
Don't play the privilage card now every body's privacy is at stake.
> Servers are where the problem is. The GIL makes python functionally single-threaded, which is a bummer for your server at any kind of scale.

Right, agreed. I can imagine some of the frustration you might experience using CPython for high throughput systems: kind of like NodeJS without the benefits of a standard library written with async/non-blocking I/O in mind.

A bit curious about a few things you mention here, though:

> Or that a python process never really releases memory back to the system, just within itself, so the process slowly grows over the course of a few weeks.

I'm not sure this is true in general, is it? Can you elaborate? It's been a while since I've dug around in Python innards, but if Py_DECREF(x) leads to a refcount of zero IIRC free(x) is ultimately called -- albeit in an indirect manner via a layer or six of tp_dealloc calls and tp_free. :) I suppose calling free(x) may only return the memory associated with x to (g)libc's free list and not necessarily back to the OS [0]. No different to C/C++ in that regard, I guess.

> I came to the conclusion that python is unsuitable for servers, but until Go came out, there wasn't a realistic alternative, since C++ and Java are too heavyweight, and Ruby suffers from similar problems (don't know about a GIL).

"Too heavyweight" in that they're relatively difficult to write in comparison? Maybe true of Java-the-language, but the JVM itself is an absolute workhorse when it comes to high performance. Plenty of languages to choose from there, typically without a GIL. Jython, for example, has no GIL [1].

And yep, Ruby/MRI has a GIL (but JRuby does not).

I don't see the problem if these problems can also be solved without relying exclusively on knowledge.

Yes, you can have PEX enclosed in finished walls in most US cities. Only need to sheath when subject to damage (e.g. Passing through potentially abrasive material)
I disagree. Places that I have visited serve as excellent landmarks. I wouldn't want them to be the only thing on the map but having them dusted around makes it very easy for me to know where new places are.
Journalists and newspapers as we know them today are deathly afraid of becoming obsolete, which they in many ways already are. What they're doing now with ads and paywalls is just delaying their extinction for a bit. I doubt you will find many journalists in favor of copyright law vitiation. Or writers in general, musicians, etc.
Implementing a tracing gc was covered in the video.
one reason that it wouldn't be your first choice would be the GIL

I don't think this is true. GIL means Global Interpreter Lock - it isn't held when you are in native code, which is how NumPy et al actually work - Python to marshal the data, then do the heavy lifting under the hood in C, FORTRAN and ASM, that the end user never needs to see. So this is a non-problem. As the above comment says, the problem is if you want to write a server that handles a lot of concurrency and shared state.
maybe instead of developing all these bend over backwards solutions to deny these data rapists from getting any pleasure out of it, maybe change the law to make them stop doing it in the first place... they are acting on the rules set in the system so change them.
For seL4, models were used to map all the way from the semantics of the instruction set to the high level model; this included a model of equivalence between the C source code and the machine code. Took them basically from 2006 to 2014 to do that (including the time to author and verify the kernel in particular).
This isn't a graph database, it's GraphQL which is an (unfortunately named) interface or "language" to query data, regardless of what the underlying database or data model is.
> The goal should be, and is kind of what Larry Hastings is looking for, is that any program should run 8 times faster on a 8-core CPU compared to a 1-core.

A program that's inherently single-threaded it's unlikely to benefit from more CPUs. When you say "any program" here, you mean "any program with >=8 threads", right?
There's nothing wrong with companies charging for software products.
One of the big take-aways from this is actually about how not to handle situations like this.

Problems happen - even huge ones - and I think most customes understand that. What they don't understand is being given little or no information about what they should do, and also being given vague, contradicting and even false information.

The BA Twitter feed seems to be the main source of dubious information. They are telling people to check the website for flight status info - but it only works intermittently, and different parts of the site say different things; for example, the flight status tool says my flight is cancelled, but the booking management tool says it's all fine.

On the Twitter feed they are telling people that they are contacting people and they rebooking them automatically - but it's apparent this is happening for very few people.

They are telling people to rebook on the website - which only works intermittently, and will not allow rebooking even when it is working.

They are telling people to call them to rebook - but their call centres seemed to be working on normal working hours (rather than getting all hand on deck), so were not in operation between 20:00 and 09:00 (or whatever; it varies by country). During working hours, when calling any call centre anywhere in the world, you just get a recorded message and are then disconnected. Some people say they did get into the call queue, and have been waiting on hold for 7+ hours!

They are sometimes telling people they shouldn't go to go to the airport to rebook, and sometimes telling them they should* go to the airport to rebook.

Yesterday they were telling people they could book alternative travel with a different airline and then claim it back from them... and today they are saying they won't pay if you book alternative travel - this could cost passengers dearly.

The CEO, Alex Cruz, also made a laughing stock of himself yesterday when he randomly donned a yellow high-visibility vest to do a recorded message in an office.

Honestly, the whole thing has been a lesson on how not to treat your customers when things go wrong.

Dgraph seems to be the most promising along with http://janusgraph.org/ for scalable graphs.
I think there's a bit of Amdahl's law to this. You could have most of your application in NumPy, running beautifully in parallel on your 64-core machine, but then you just need to drop back into Python to do a tiny bit of transformation or logging or something before you go back into NumPy, it's really quick, but because all 64 cores contend you do that work inside the GIL you then have yourself a sequential bottleneck. Even if it's small, it starts to dominate.
Take the Container class in Flutter, it can only take a single Widget as a child. Having to write a list of children that is 1 long every time I use a container doesn't make sense to me, and to me seems confusing as it will lead to people trying to add more items. I don't know, that's my opinion, maybe I'm wrong :)
Python 2.7 has terrible thrashing in the way the GIL is acquired that is exacerbated as more threads are used. Dave Beazley has given great talks with the technical details: http://www.dabeaz.com/GIL/
"Salary is way lower, tax way higher"
You are of course fully aware that a lower salary is less of a problem if the living costs are way lower, which they are in most of Europe. Looking just at the income side doesn't really say a lot (except for international travel).
Second, I keep hearing from people in the Bay Area who end up cashing out only 50 % of their salary due to taxes. I don't have any good first hand information on this, but how sure are you about this "tax way higher in Europe" claim?
Doesn't matter what position I'm speaking from. Can you argue against my points? Of course, poor and desperate people will take whatever benefits are given them despite how damaging they will be in the long term. Your chemo analogy doesn't hold water here because chemo actually is better in the long term - you don't have to keep doing it once your cancer is cured. This is more akin to acquiring cancer on purpose to cure a cold.
Instead I wish we could kill phone numbers... who remembers a phone number other than their own these days? Email addresses are much easier to remember.

An individual can most definitely influence the system, but it involves doing unappealing things like participating in open comment periods, political organizing, labor organizing, attending meetings, making phone calls, interacting with bureaucracies, pouring your life into standards bodies, running for local office, and persevering in the face of indifference and tedium.

It's a high bar to clear (I certainly haven't cleared it), but to pretend it's impossible is the definition of cynisicm.

This isn't a new problem, so based on how often and easily it gets pushed out of sight I'd calmly say we are going for a third option

Pay the least we can, to ensure that this goes away.

From a company perspective, this is a cost of doing business, its not a "Profit Center". It gets treated and measured by the same metrics as credit card fraud. As long as the number is X low, then we need Y number of people to handle it.

X is variant on size of site, so Y is the only thing we can control, so lets keep it as low as possible.

Don't assume tolerance and open-ness on the new Network.

Do note - Increased exposure, without guidance, means that people will become ANGRIER and MORE intolerant. This is the stuff that gets "weaponized" and you see one community yell about it by saying "SEE! This is Happening and no one is talking about it".
> So I just don't think attacking this as a problem with long sentences is going to do anything to help anyone. You might get sentences greatly reduced, but have you actually helped the root problem?

The justice system isn't supposed to deal with root problems, but it is supposed to punish crime with a sentence that is both guaranteed, proportional, and rapidly executed. In this case, the very fact this guy goes to jail for drug possession is just completely insane.

Most current commercial mugs have a lining in them to prevent any leaching but still allows you to maintain the look and also the copper to help with temperature.

I can't find a quick reference but I read a while back that the drink, possibly the acid from the juice, reacted with the copper to add a flavour to the drink. With the lined mugs you don't get that specific taste.

Hmm, perhaps it's me not understanding the flutter paradigm, but if something only accepted a single child, I would stop calling it a child and start calling it a more precise name. Like perhaps contents in the case of a container?
Salt as far as I know is the only mineral (non plant) spice we use, it's purpose is to enhance taste.

There is a common confusion between salt (sodium chloride) and sodium, many falsely believing salt is not used only for taste but it's essential for health.

Sodium is a vital element that is found in almost all plants and animals and there is no need for an extra sodium intake because our food has plenty.

Sodium and potassium balance in the body is essential for cell physiology and our health
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Na%2B/K%2B-ATPase

I don't add salt in my food and avoid products with salt for more than a year, "heavy food" doesn't feel as heavy, my skin is not as dry as before and looks better and injuries seem to heal faster.
Thanks for the write up, Lucas. It was very intuitive and I learnt a lot.

I noticed that you used 5000 buckets to store the frequency of 7000 non-unique words in the section on 'Counting Bloom Filters'. How is that better than using 7000 buckets and a uniformly distributed hash function, which would maintain frequencies perfectly? We would be using fewer buckets by an order of magnitude in a real-world implementation to save memory.
Well it worked--I probably wouldn't have clicked otherwise and the story was quite interesting.

Ask HN: Do you have a favourite language, but actually work in something else?
I, for example, work in JavaScript in my day job, but my favourite one is probably Elixir. They used to be worlds apart, but since ES7 JS is not that bad... I guess. Still, nothing really beats Elixir's immutable-by-default structures, pattern matching and clean concurrency.

Are you in a similar situation?
As with many things different people react in different ways. Examples with taste include Low Salt (potassium based) which a few people taste as being quite bitter. Coriander / Cilantro is a lovely herb to many, but a few people find it very soapy.

My understanding has been that some people are more sensitive to sodium than others. If your BP is normal, chances are it won't have much affect, but if you've high BP then it is more likely to have an affect on your BP. I can't comment on causes, perhaps those who are more sensitive are more likely to have raised BP.

Actually, the data science stack is pretty much unconstrained by the GIL right now. Most of the libraries do their work in C/Fortran, and release the GIL in-between.

For that matter you should look into Theano, Tensorflow and Numba to bring Python code to the GPU (no GIL there). Or use Dask to scale to multiple cores or nodes.

Catch is, a person having an arrest record for drug possession isn't at all evidence of drug abuse, past or present. That's precisely why I believe criminal records shouldn't be publicly available except in certain cases.
Sure but that would be the case if you were marshalling data to/from a GPU too.
