I would assume they are only going to be doing the raw data collection and maybe cleanup and annotation, and that data should be made available so you can train what you like.

If you poke around github and the Kaldi lists a bit more you can see that they are experimenting with and probably planning to use Kaldi.

I wonder what they plan to do for provisioning. It is one thing to collect data and train models, but quite another to make the service available over the web in an unlimited capacity. And we are not yet to the point where you can reasonably expect to run a high quality open-vocabulary STT system in your browser. The search network is typically in the GBs range.
After some years with Mongo I would not use Mongo again (we had some site downs).

It you do not need to push to the client, I'd use Postgres. It just works. For replication and sharding better wait for 10 though.
Hey! Curious about how you think of yourselves compared to DocuSign? Free plan is a nice addition.
There's no tidy table, but "75% drop" sounds promising.

Especially when coupled with "cheaper".
Everything I've funded has been realized. Do you have something to back up that 90% figure?

But in any case, I don't see any problems with this. The terms are completely clear and I know what I am getting into. I fund projects because I want them to succeed but I am well aware that they might not. As long as I get the impression that it didn't fail because of foul play, I am happy.
I remember Media Player Classic, back when it came as part of the K-Lite Codec Pack. It was the only way to watch anime circa 2004, with all of their wild codecs and subtitle files.

It was incredibly useful, and if memory serves I believe I got better performance out of it than VLC on lower-end PC's.

I eventually transitioned over to just VLC, however. The fact that I could just download it and play everything out-of-the-box without having to then download a bunch of codecs was very attractive. It had a portable version, too.
True... but poor C anyways :(

The short justification made by those who support asset forfeiture is that it is helping fund state and local law enforcement efforts via ill-gotten gains (esp. drug money) in a time of budgetary constraints. This actually does not sound unreasonable on the surface if one holds a certain perspective of the law (my personal views differ).

That said, the reality is that the asset forfeiture regulations are not well-formed, and the oversight is very far from where it needs to be given the extreme power these laws give to the law enforcement authorities. As such, this effectively leads to a money grab in some areas.

This just strikes me as a case of making a potentially reasonable policy (if that's one's perspective on the world), but not creating the proper infrastructure to support it in a transparent way that mainstream citizens would find reasonable. As such, it is very prone to abuse.

Note also that the biggest hauls give some federal agencies a tremendous amount budget flexibility. Again, the oversight for this is not well-formed, perhaps intentionally.

Note that I personally do not agree with this line of thinking, but I just wanted to explain the perspectives of others who support these decisions.
Thanks, this is a fair point! I made an issue to explore ways to make this better: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/35244
No, you can't. But you can say "what a fucked up federal administration".
It's now possible for a drug dealer to serve time in a forfeiture-financed prison after being arrested by agents driving a forfeiture-provided automobile while working in a forfeiture-funded sting operation.

Replace "drug dealer" with "minority individual" and this quote would be as accurate today as it was in 1989.

Soon you have to consider Asset Forfeiture as a 'hidden' tax on the economy. Same when 'revolutionary forces' condemn land from farmers or dictators disown factory owners.

I dont have the stats you are looking for, but even if it is ineffective and some people do not want to rejoin society, how is locking in them in a cage an ethical response to that?
Forfeiture is disgusting, but what Congress really should be ashamed of is their own inaction in addressing forfeiture through legislation. It's not like Sessions is some dark age monarch answerable to no-one. Forfeiture continues because Congress hasn't outlawed it.

It looked like hundreds of people doing dadaist discussion.
It's possible to load up a traditional resume with 5-10 pages of granular detail like this, but that's actually more awkward than helpful. Once a (shorter) resume establishes basic competence, employers generally want to do the next round of screening based on face-to-face contact. Asking the resume to do all the work will lead you to hire the very best resume writers, rather than the very best candidates. (Note that strong passive candidates, who already have good jobs, do not spend a lot of time polishing their resumes.)

In non-technical fields, taking candidates through a face-to-face interview tends to be the best way of gauging grit, creativity, motivation, fit/compatibility, etc. That's especially true if the job specs are still fluid. In that case, a face-to-face interview lets both sides play around with the job description a bit.

Google is supremely good at coming up with engineering solution to engineering problems, and its decision to build an applicant tracking system is encouraging. But Google also is a bit prone to taking the same approach, no matter what. If we're talking about the full sweep of candidate assessment, that isn't an engineering problem.
Not a single person in this entire thread has claimed it wasn’t a problem the last 8 years.

This is something I'm working on. I started with a nutrition graph with endpoints for individual foods, units of measure (with mass conversion for volumetric and common units), physical changes (cutting, blending), chemical changes (cooking, fermenting), and nutrient stats.

It's designed as the backend to an NLP interface for describing your recent eating. A food selection composes those endpoints I mentioned; and a recipe is a preset group of food selections. I'm not sure if that's how it should be long-term or how recipe discovery will work, but the goal is an agent that you can talk to about your nutrition intake, food buying, and cooking.
It's been a problem. But to say 'let's double down on that' is not a solution, is it?
I tried to build a little recipe DB along these lines years ago. What I ended up finding is that as I improved in my own food preparation skills, my interest in super-rigid recipes of this form diminished.

Basically, there's just a lot of slush and room for experimentation in cooking. Think about making a stir fry— how many people would level off exact masses of different vegetables to combine in perfect proportion? Never! You toss in what looks good and that's that. As you gain confidence, this approach spreads out to cover marinades, sauces, salads, breads, baking, etc, etc. You're not looking at recipes because you intend to follow them exactly, but because you're trolling for ideas of new combinations, or new preparation methods, or whatever.

The prose is valuable, because that's where that subtlety is communicated. It's the author saying stuff like: "I know this sounds weird, but do X until Y and then gently add Z and you'll be surprised what a great flavour develops."

Authors like Mark Bittman and Deb Perelman are perfect examples of this. Sure, you might make the odd thing from them exactly as written, but that's not really why you're there. I think treating food preparation as equivalent to a Vagrantfile would really lose something along the way.
The problem with a feature comparison between Mongo and another database is that feature comparisons rarely include the features that Mongo lacks. Mongo looks good if you ask about sharding or replicating, but Mongo looks terrible if you ask about losing data or leaking memory. But nobody asks about losing data or leaking memory because they reasonably assume that a popular data store wouldn't do those things. That assumption, while reasonable, would be wrong.

Think of this like Maslowe's hierarchy of needs. Sharding and replication are up at the top with self-actualization stuff like job satisfaction and feeling love toward animals. Meanwhile Mongo is missing the real basic stuff, like actually keeping your data, which is down with food, water, and shelter. You might think you care about replication, but you don't care about replication when both your database servers run out of memory at the same time.

> Blameless post mortems only work when you know that engineers or whoever is on call are operating in good faith.

There's no question of someone operating in bad faith in the article, though. Pham has a concern about negligence, but that is not bad faith. An engineer can be operating in good faith and be negligent.

I think the emails go beyond bad timing. They clearly indicate ahead of time that the post mortem will be "negligence or a root cause that would have effected a different engineer".

That's not a blameless post-mortem. That's the opposite.
> Hire offers businesses a cohesive applicant tracking service that’s deeply integrated with G Suite to make it easier for businesses to communicate with their candidates and track their progress through the interview process.

If you are interested in statistics about the success of treatment programs you can google it and do the research. It's important to think about addiction as a disease and treat it as such. It spreads like a disease and it inflicts damage across society like a disease. It's killing 60,000 people a year.

I will say that I can see the damage here in the Detroit region from another untreated addiction epidemic, the crack crisis from the 80s. So much of the regions ills come from treating it as a criminal justice problem instead of a health crisis. A generation was lost to either the drugs themselves or the war on drugs.

On call doesn't mean you're working. It means you might get a call.

The people I know whom were on call weren't paid at 100% but more in the 10-30% range (on top of their normal salary). They might get a call and were paid accordingly. If they'd get too many calls that had an obvious effect on their performance.

I completely disagree with your statement that being "on call" means that it is their job to "always being woken up by alerts". If you get so many alerts the company should have someone _working_ (roster, etc), not have people on call!
Catboost is implemented in C. Does anyone know how stuff like this is run at scale over multiple machines ? For example, if I want to run a distributed computation in spark - I use some primitives that are distributed in nature.

But how does someone use Catboost across a cluster of 10 machines ? All the help documents are heavily single machine. Is there any kind of infra-framework that will distributed the jobs across all the machines running Catboost, etc ?

Sometimes I see a lengthy text article that I tell myself I'll bookmark and read later, but I know I'm never going to read it. I much prefer audiobooks and podcasts.

Next step is to make it an RSS feed so I can treat it like a podcast.

The use of fans is disappointing; that means it can't go outside. My first thought when seeing it is that it'd be great for doing external inspections, and could even have its own private little airlock to get in and out.

Maybe they could make a version with ionic thrusters, that stays outside all of the time. It could have a 'nest' where it parks and refuels when not in use.
It is also a problem of people confusing CRIMINAL asset forfeiture, with CIVIL asset forfeiture.

CRIMINAL asset forfeiture they can seize drug money provided they prove an individual committed a crime and link that asset to said crime beyond a reasonable doubt

Civil Asset forfeiture they have do not have to prove a crime was committed, and the person has to prove they obtained the asset legally.

Criminal Asset forfeiture if you can not afford a lawyer one is provided to you, Civil Asset forfeiture you are simply SOL, so if they take $10,000 from you, and a lawyer want $10,000 to fight your case well why bother?

Civil Asset Forfeiture is a end run around due process and the constitution

I assume the main reason people are using hadoop these days is for HDFS. Spark has supplanted it for actual processing. So the reason hadoop could be so high is that when organizations use part of the hadoop ecosystem (like Cassandra, Hive, and of course Spark) they mention hadoop along with it. Then even though not many organizations are using vanilla hadoop, since it's used in conjunction with many other technologies, it dominates the list.

You're moving the icky cash-for-tokens risk source from the established coin markets to your private coin with no added benefit I can discern.

If you already assume I as user don't trust the established exchange, what makes you confident that this setup with the added complexity alters any downside/risk/cost of transferring value from coin tokens to cash?

[Edit] For instance given a user with a diversified portfolio of coins, in what way does adding another coin like asset facilitate any of the coin-coin or coin-cash transactions?

I completely disagree. Recently did a factory reset on my nexus only to find out that without the password for the last sync'd google account, a throwaway I don't remember, it's bricked. I can report it stolen on the device page, can easily prove to google it's my device, but I can't reset or sell or do anything with the phone. Google's response after spending days trying to fix, and talking to different support people who had wildly different answers, the only viable answer was to give me the number for Lg and wish me good luck. Never have I paid so much for a product which is broken by its own design while being entirely unsupported by the vendor. Never will I purchase a google product or service and I will tell everyone I know to do the same.
