1) Difficult to get NVIDIA GPUs running on Mac (you can use an eGPU, but it sucks).

This goes back to the days when people drank much more, at work, at lunch, etc...

In a drinking culture, nodding off at your desk is a very very bad thing because it means you can't handle your liquor and this just could not be tolerated.

Why would SF suddenly have a large amount of vacant housing that isn't there now, unless people lost interest in the city? A large surplus like that suggests that things have swing too far in the other direction. At that point, rents will decline to try and bring equilibrium back the other way, exactly like you see in Flint today.

I disagree with some of the arguments but reach a similar conclusion:

Google is a monopoly, is a bad actor and this ruling is not a useful solution.

I think the government needs to break up the cable & telco rent companies. Conversely, I blame the market for empowering Google to this level and the market needs to fix it or accept the tradeoffs.

Besides the fact that your story resonates with a few of mine, lets be friends; I think there is a lot of mileage in assessing a few facts: the sheer size of elephants, their defenseless young, the complexity of their social relationships, and their general relationship with would-be predators.

I'd suggest that piloting these factors (reducing risk, advancing social relationships, developing the behaviour of their young) requires a wide variety of exacting performance in a complex environment.

This is a good question.

I suggest you begin with the network itself, and look at the different fault points that exist or could be easily introduced. There are three basic components - the IoT smart devices, the computer(s) used to browse the internet and the networking equipment (specifically the gateway/router, but also separate access points and switches if you happen to have those).

Let's first outline reasonable security goals:

1) reduce the likelihood of one IoT device compromise leading to compromise in any other single IoT device,

2) reduce the likelihood of one IoT device compromise leading to compromise in your network itself (gateway/router)

3) reduce the likelihood of one IoT device compromise leading to compromise in your computer(1)

Now we can proceed:

1) Set up a separate VLAN for IoT devices so that they cannot interact with the other fault points on your network (your computers).

2) Assign a statically mapped subnet address to each device.

3) Set a firewall policy so that no device can see any other device on the network by default.

4) Set a firewall policy that drops all traffic on this network by default.

5) Now we'll sort the devices by required privilege. For devices like the Amazon Echo, Google Home, Control4, URC, etc that need to control many other devices, allow traffic from their IPs to proceed to the devices they need to control.

6) If you can figure out exactly which ports the devices use to send and receive requests, further lock them down.

7) Set a firewall policy that drops all outbound traffic from the IoT VLAN by default. For each device, set a specific policy that allows traffic for it to pass through only to specific hosts (i.e. Hue lights to Hue hosts). Nest cameras don't need to send traffic anywhere but Google's servers, for example.

8) Remove password-based SSH authentication into your router and set a firewall policy that only allows SSH login from a specific IP address that you control (such as a $5/month VPS).

9) So that you don't shoot yourself in the foot with 8), set up daily backups of the router in case you lock yourself out of it and need to restore settings.

10) Set up your router so that it can only be locally managed from a specific subnet IP, which will be your main computer.

This is a reasonable start. All the other advice about how to secure your main computer still applies, because (as ever), that is a huge failure point.
It bugs me when a complicated neural phenomenon reduces to "size matters".
It's not the certification of the student that matters; it's the accreditation of the company providing the education! You can't use your GI bill benefits or subsidized student loans at most coding schools. That's a shame in cases where the coding school is high quality!

If the coding school is an accredited degree-granting institution, then federal/state assistance can be used to pay for the education.

I will admit that, coming from a lower middle class background, university education to a 17 year old me was mostly a way to optimize my career prospects. But in hindsight, I would say it is a lot more than that. The two most important skills I learned were probably critical thinking and team work. There were also many side-benefits, that you get merely from being in close quarters with so many different kinds of people... to learn that diversity is important, that even people from different cultures are awesome etc. These soft skills are very important, and I don't see a way of acquiring them otherwise.

However, I think a way to remedy this would be to be very clear with what a university provides instead of being vague about it. e.g. if you pursue CS in Uof Something, you have x % chances of getting a job here right out of college. I agree Universities have been co-opted into being preparatory schools for the job market, but that is too narrow a purpose for them.

I became frustrated that the article spent 3-4 paragraphs putzing around before getting to any real meat. So, I made this list of the key points:

- The goal was to sort out which dog behaviors were already present in ancestral wolves

- Wolves like to lick each others’ faces (even without being raised by humans)

- Wolves are capable of following a person’s gaze into space

- Wolves understand gestures like finger pointing (anecdote: my dog doesn't understand this...)

- Wolves can become attached to their human caregivers

- Wolves are able to form lasting affiliative relationships with their caretakers, though without a sense of dependence.

- The wolves raised like puppies approached human visitors of all types (known, unknown) readily and willingly.

* The 12-month-old and 24-month-old wolves approached their foster-parents and close acquaintances with affection, but they were a bit apprehensive when approaching other humans.

* The six-month-old wolf pups flocked to their human caregivers in an “intense and friendly” manner, and they were comfortable in the company of all visitor types.

- No aggressive behaviors were documented, but some of the wolf pups exhibited crouching and tail-tucking behaviors when approaching the strangers, which suggests they were a bit scared.

- Given that some of the wolves were as old as 24 months during the experiments, the results suggest that human-raised wolves will continue to seek contact with humans into early adulthood.

- The sample sizes weren’t great; a total of ten wolf pups were used in the study.

- To keep the interactions as consistent as possible, visitors were told to wear the same clothing, not wear any perfume or cologne, and not have anything in their pocket, along with a host of other control measures.
Eventually yes, but there is a long way to go until it is complete. The software will be published as well.

I worked for a very small startup in London that embraced napping as part of their culture, some 8 years ago. It worked wonders (provided that you napped for 15-30 minutes at a time and didn't pass out for an hour or two). We even had a dark storage room with a sofa that was the designated nap area.

Fast forward to the current day. That company no longer exists (it was acquired), but the co-founders went on to create another company that is doing very well. I made the decision to go freelance at the end of last year and as fate would have it I am currently working for the new company. Napping is still encouraged. They're one of the most productive, driven teams that I've ever had the pleasure of working for.

Napping is good.
I kinda disagree. It is a long story. I will skip a lot and make it as brief as I can.

I used to own my own company. It has long since been sold and I am retired. We modeled traffic and I helped bring traffic modeling to the computer age.

This was way back in the dark ages of the early 1990s, when you actually had to work to find people who could write good code. You also had to pay them a goodly amount of money.

One of the things I offered was to help with continued education. For example, we had one lady who was a secretary and she wanted to learn to code. So, we sent her to school part time, on our dime, and she eventually found a home in QA.

When we began to provision services in other areas, besides vehicular modeling for municipalities, I sent people to get the training they felt they needed. I'd even go with them, if I had time and it would benefit me. I love Defcon, and have gone even after retiring.

We'd get a local university to do some research and then poach the folks who stood out - and help them complete their education.

Quite a few acted on this and I have to say we benefited greatly from this. I don't have exact numbers but it was well over a third.

So, in my experience, they want the education. In my experience, they can be educated. Maybe try offering to pay for it, if you're in a position to make that choice? Cover their total costs - including ensuring they can afford the time.

In my case, there weren't exactly a whole lot of traffic engineers. We had to make them, and we did.

Two answers:
1) If you are looking for 4.0 as a number .. who knows (3.6 is current, 3.7 is next version), who knows when they switch from 3.x to 4.x... versions numbers does not matter that much to open source people...

2) If you think of the breakage between 2.x and 3.x ... a breakage like that is probably never gonna happen again...

Re 2) The 2.x to 3.x happened due to version 2 having a horrible problem with strings vs. bytes and encodings... There probably are no other problems ever with that kind of scale..

Users may also want to look into NitroShare. Although it only works on the local network, it uses IP broadcast for automatic peer discovery (next version will use mDNS).

This is pretty old school, but I recommend Multiple View Geometry by Hartley and Zisserman (http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/hzbook/) to get through the fundamentals...it's really good to understand the geometric foundations for the past 4 decades. Along the same lines, you have Introductory Techniques for 3-D Computer Vision by Trucco and Verri (https://www.amazon.com/Introductory-Techniques-3-D-Computer-...), which also goes over the geometry and the fundamental problems that computer vision algorithms try to solve. It often does come down to just applying simple geometry; getting good enough data to run that model is challenging.

If you just throw everything into a neural network, then you won't really understand the breadth of the problems you're solving, and you'll be therefore ignorant of the limitations of your hammer. While NNs are incredibly useful, I think a deep understanding of the core problems is essential to know how to use NNs effectively in a particular domain.

After getting a grip on those concepts, Szeliski's Computer Vision: Algorithms and Applications (http://szeliski.org/Book/) had some really amazing coverage of CV in practice. Mastering OpenCV (https://www.amazon.com/Mastering-OpenCV-Daniel-Lelis-Baggio/...) was very useful when actually implementing some algorithms.
> Any reasonably intelligent and dedicated student can go to university and come out the other end with a well-paying job.

That's a pretty restrictive filter. Currently you have to be at least two of smart, goal-directed, and curious to make it through the university system with a decent education and good job prosepcts. Many other students make it through with good job prospects but no real education because they were able to bull their way through an in-demand major program. But a lot of them slip through the cracks and end up with neither job nor education.
Meritocracy is such a narrow and arbitrary definition on what is acceptable for claiming resources. Social myths to keep the rable in the fields and out of the manor.
Obviously I have no idea whether this will be better than the current system or not. However, I'm completely left cold by most of the the argumentation in the article.

For example, it complains that 40% of Congress are lawyers, effectively arguing that it's better to have substantially fewer people making laws who are trained in law. Why? because people don't like lawyers.

Also, it complains that 50% of Congress are millionaires so reducing the number of millionaires will remove the influence of lobbyists. Presumably because it's only millionaires who are influenced by marketing and free money?

The one good argument that I can see is that it definitely means that there's no money spent on campaign financing as there are no campaigns. Obviously the suggestion that that money will then be spent on soft and fluffy causes is just silly but at least the original argument makes sense.

Maybe it's just me. A big part of my day to day is understanding the consequences of the decisions I make and mitigating for them. So I get particularly irritated by arguments that only have pro columns. But if one does just make pro arguments they really ought to be better than this.
