I guess the CNN was trained only with real images. They must add some [random noise], [crap], [glitch] and [collage] images to the training set. This may reduce the efficiency of the NN in the real world, but it will make more difficult to find funny examples of misclassification.

Any thoughts on this?
This doesn't avoid the split brain concern completely though: your suggestion has 4 states, and one of them is invalid (picturesLoading: true, pictures: non-empty).

If a refactoring or some other edit of the source leads to that state, the pictures may not get rendered (if the pictures are right but picturesLoading is wrong), or the wrong pictures may get rendered (if picturesLoading is right and pictures is wrong).

I don't think so, carriers are quite clear about their conditions. E.g. even if you're not French you can understand on this webpage that you have 40GB/month, included in Europe, for 24,99€/month: https://shop.sosh.fr/mobile/forfaits-mobiles
For some telcos this is a very tough deal. Countries with a lot of foreign visitors, like Spain or Italy, will have to improve network capacity to sustain the added data volume, and with no increase in revenue. A lot of carriers still operate at local country level in Europe. I guess the long-term plan is that that most telcos will end up merging into pan-european companies.
If Google nudged sites towards HSTS then https everywhere wouldn't be needed anymore, correct?
In most contexts what you actually need is REST as in "JSON RPC over HTTP" instead of REST as Roy Fielding intended.

So the recommendations in the article are actually valid and useful, but we'd need to come up with another name to properly distinguish which "REST" we're talking about, at least unless/until one of these usages fades into obscurity.

The OP said:

> whereas even a minor exit (acqui-hire)

How is viaweb anything like that? First off. Compared to the avg modern startup, in pretty sure viaweb took little in funding so founders likely had most of the ownership. And they got $50M in stock of a company that would keep going up for another 1.5 years. And $50M back then is like $75M or more in today's value. That's not an acquire or even a small/minor exit.

Also you said fyou money. A minor/small exit wouldn't give you that. A million or two isn't fyou money.

A guy came up with an idea of digital money that doesn't require contracts using "smart contracts", where the code is the law.

The guy went to a bunch of people with the idea and they liked it.

The people talked about it a lot and many more people joined in.

They all pooled their money together to launch this cool money.

Some other guy came over, saw all of this, looked at the code, and used the code to transfer $55M to his wallet.

Arguments about law and contracts ensued.
Funny anecdote : the founder of "free" internet provider, xavier niel, made his first bucks running a minitel service ( an erotic service iirc, what people called "minitel rose"), then later completely disrupted french internet dsl access by offering unlimited high speed access for a few bucks a month. I worked at france telecom at the time ( the old monopolistic company that owned all the coper lines), and i remember employees not believing this offer to be real.

Have you actually tried unstable? Granted, I haven't used it for a few years now (the only Debian boxes I have today are servers running stable), but "unstable" was actually quite reliable. Yes, it did break occasionally (mostly just minor issues with package dependencies) but those were usually easy fixes and "unstable" was actually quite usable as an everyday, desktop Linux.

If you haven't tried it, give it a shot. You may be surprised.

The UK is the US's closest ally, forged in the blood of millions of dead fighting for common causes. The last military action between the two was over two centuries ago.

It would be truly unprecedented to bomb the capital of our closest ally, an act which is undoubtedly an act of war, in order to assassinate a US citizen accused of crimes.

There's no comparison whatsoever between this hypothetical act and airstrikes in an active warzone.

Yes, you'd pay the same as if you were in France as I understand it. However, calling a german number will still be more expensive I think, just as it would be when calling from home.
There are those of us who have learned git and still prefer Mercurial. It's really annoying that git is supposed to be what we use across all programs, distributions, operating systems and hardware. Just about ASCII or TCP/IP are the only things that are about as universal, and git shouldn't be nowhere nearly as foundational as them. There should be room for more than one way to do source control.

Sadly, mercurial-buildpackage in Debian is a dead-end. :-(
I pay £0.1 per MB when roaming. Any change from this frankly obscene price is good news.

Sadly I feel this deal won't last for long when the UK leaves the EU.
No, they are ponzi schemes because they aren't enforceable.
Note that the telcos don't stop charging each other for roaming, they just stop charging customers. This might even be good news for Spanish and Italian telcos.

Everyone's a hero until the bullets start flying.
I think there is an alternate interpretation (or at least just a reinforcement of my own beliefs) that the nation state should just occupy that local / regional level. We consolidated nations and built empires because of the logistical and militaristic needs of organization in the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries. Since WW2, though, we have:

* Solved the logistical problem with the adoption of wide area communications networks, enabling instant communication and more importantly negotiations between independent regions and areas anywhere in the world.

* Solved the military problem with the development of world-wrecking nuclear weapons, whose presence equalizes all involved nations such that it does not matter if you have a giant population and production machine to build every other weapon of war - the danger of just a few dozen advanced nuclear weapons in arsenal deters any reasonable nation from attempting invasion because that many bombs could render the Earth uninhabitable.

Additionally, computers ease the burden of managing international relations between potentially thousands of participating bodies by instituting protcol standards between them and the Internet gives us an environment to broadcast transparently the terms of interaction between nations, and those can be updated in real time in ways a generation ago couldn't consider possible.

Now there is no good motivation to maintain giant nation states. Letting large countries break up into smaller, more focused soverignties handling their own affairs maximizes liberty for the people. And the international economy can be very effective as a tool of global governance - if you and most nations agree on something, and think it is important enough, you can embargo the dissenters to put economic pressure on them to reform. Likewise, for any noble cause, you can accept the burden of economic isolation to prove your point and then campaign to change the minds of citizens in other countries.

If governance were localized like this, you would not run into the apathetic superstate of the modern age where citizens demands are very often ignored. When a legislature only rules a few million people, individual voices are louder, and deposing the corrupt is much more straightforward - even if it requires violence. The larger and more expansive the sovereignty the more detached from any one locality it becomes until it is just detached from everyone operating as this global influence without oversight.
The future of the Ruby Toolbox
Well it kind of is, but with power being pushed even further down to the local level, where you could actually know your leaders, you largely remove the ability of nations to wage wars, especially on any sort of global level, and people are better able to self organize. In the states we see a problem right now with coast-inland and some other smaller cultures where you have some people who are able to take power dictating wildly different views for other people who absolutely disagree with them. It's hard to manage a multi-cultural country. We see it right now.
There's also fuel, but I agree, that can't be much either on a typical trip. And for electric trains it's zero, with comparable infrastructure requirements (overhead power lines vs ground pvc pipe).
The guy that the US has been unable to get to for years and who could flee NZ at any time to a friendlier jurisdiction if he so wished? Yeah.
Isn't it actually the other way around? Telcos in tourist destinations will have to increase capacity, but they still get to bill the user's home telco at the wholesale roaming rate – so they do still receive revenue.
Right now now I'll do exactly the same - I work from home technical lead in security/sysadmin space for a big telco,
(also have a side project generating more money than my salary and growing). The main reason I won't quit my job is the team I am managing and the kids are still at home... in few years when they move out, I am thinking about buying a million dollar sailboat and travel the world for a decade or so and chose a please to "retire" to...

Cyprus, de facto, also is English-spoken.

It's annoyingly a bit complex. As I now understand it, for Three in the UK the rules are pretty simple for most cases:

UK user in UK calls UK number – local country cost.
UK user in Germany calls UK number - same cost as calling locally from UK.
UK user in Germany calls German number – same cost as calling a UK number.

The weird edge-case is that calling a foreign number is less expensive when roaming; calling a German number from e.g. France is now cheaper than calling a German number from inside the UK, because the roaming regs affect roaming cost but do not affect what providers can charge for international calls from the home country.
That's filesystems, not the OS. There are some extremely good reasons to treat filenames as bags of bytes, which is why Apple got rid of case folding in APFS. Think performance, locale issues, etc.

(And before someone says it, yes, of course performance matters for filenames. Every single stat shouldn't need to worry about case folding.)

HEADLINE: a merger of flatpkg and snap

DESCRIPTION: a consensus on the next generation of package management.
Please.
We have had decades of fragmentation (not to mention duplicated innovation) around the RPM vs DEB ecosystem. Which is why it is still hard for beginners to want to use Linux - try explaining to anyone who comes from a Mac about rpm vs deb vs whatever else. Which is why they would pay for the mac rather than use Linux ("its too hard to install software").

Its not just my opinion - PackageKit (https://www.freedesktop.org/software/PackageKit/pk-intro.htm...) was invented for this reason. So you could have Gnome Software Manager that can work the same on every flavor of Linux. Its time to build this the right way.

You have an opportunity now - but again the camps are getting fragmented. We now have snap (ubuntu/deb) vs flatpkg (redhat) all over again. And pretty strongly divided camps are beginning to form around them. It seems that the new rhetoric is snap for servers and flatpkg for desktops... which absolutely doesnt make sense.

Debian is the place to make this stand - systemd was adopted from fedora despite Ubuntu making a strong push for something else. Debian made Ubuntu adopt systemd. I dont think anyone has anything but respect for that process. Debian 10 must take a stand on this.
Big mac: 500 calories

Large Fries: 440 calories

Blueberry muffin: 400 calories

Depends on the UK's position in relation to the single market.

Admittedly at the moment it looks like a massive dumpster fire, but I assume single market membership (currently the least awful outcome for the UK) would mean digital single market regs apply.
Oh man, preseed is a pain in the ass too. I wish they'd support using kickstart files or that there were a kickstart to preseed conversion/migration tool.
They're not incompatible, though. I'd make everything as a REST endpoint (since you need to create a resource with an ID anyway for SSE, otherwise, how will the client know which email want sent?), and then add SSE as an optional performance improvement layer on top of those endpoints that may benefit from it.

This is how WebSub (formely PubSubHubbub) works on top of RSS/Atom, for example.

Speaking only for myself - I try and limit my comments to one of three categories:

- Asking questions

- Answering questions

- Education (I put debates in this category, since frequently I'm the one learning)

The nice things about these is that votes form a good indicator as to how well I wrote my point of view. It's not a perfect metric since downvotes punish divergence from the community consensus as much as they do poor content, but it's generally good enough.

And by attempting to limit myself to those categories, my time is not wasted. I do accept that I'm going to fail from time to time by posting pure fluff, and that's OK too: at a bare minimum I've put some practice into my writing and social skills.

I think that discoverability is overrated, because you can discover URLs (as in, what options are available) but you can't discover what exactly those URLs will do (especially for non-GET options) or find URLs that will do exactly what you need, so any discovered URLs aren't usable anyway unless you already knew beforehand what exactly you are trying to discover.

The client (if it's not a human) can't magically discover the semantics, and a HATEOAS API can't properly describe the semantics - it will give you a relationship type string that might be descriptive of what the URL will do, and that's it.

In any case, you need to define a mapping between "I want to do X" and an item on the server side; and when writing a client there's not much practical difference (only a conceptual one) between linking "do X" to an URL string versus linking "do X" to a HATEOAS relationship string. You gain some stability if the service renames some methods, but unless you're really sure that it was just a cosmetic change and none of the semantics has changed, you need to re-verify everything anyway if it happens.

Actually telcos in those countries with many foreign visitors will still make money. While consumers enjoy 'roam like at home' without additional costs, there are still wholesale roaming charges in place for the home carrier [0]. A quick back-of-the-envelope calculation shows that these wholesale roaming caps are comparable to typical consumer prices, meaning they should result in actual profits (at least compared to German prices, which are generally not the cheapest).

Yea, globalization is still inevitable because its economic prospects crush isolationism. Countries that don't participate will (and do) fall behind. If legislatures try to resist it, they will find consequences to their economic bottom line that can cripple an economy for decades.

The current crop of nationalism in the west is coming from the dying breath of a generation on the way out. People they don't want to fade away or have someone else take their place, that want to fight for what is effectively just them getting younger again and wanting to be back in the 1950s and 1960s with all that entails.

The only hope can be that rather than try to resist globalization the world economy can collectively steer it towards positive outcomes for humanity rather than selfish outcomes for the soon to be trillionaires steering the ship. And that the economic tides of the modern era don't embitter new generations into the same blind nostalgia for their own pasts when the world moves on - back to that steering issue - we need to avoid having hundreds of millions more people fall off the train in the future to avoid this environment happening again.
Some people are much more enlightened in this day and age but history has taught us that war is inevitable. We are a violent species, and eventually chance prevails and enough mistakes are made to trigger something unstoppable.
