I think that getting the controls right is what will matter the most in the end. Until then the game will go no where.
That's the great thing about having a market and the ability to share this information. You go ahead and buy the Roomba, and I'll just avoid them all together. It's fine. But I'm glad to know that this was on the cards, and plan to vote with my pocket and not buy products that intend to do something like this.

I hate to sound alarmist, but as our world grows increasingly connected, I tend to be a bit cautious as to why I'm giving up this data and for what benefit. I see stories like this (https://carpeaqua.com/2017/07/07/hack-the-planet/) and wouldn't have thought before that my PayPal accounts or other financial information could be at risk because of an AT&T issue, but some criminal was smart and exploited the weak link here.

I don't have any idea as to how criminals in the future will exploit my personal house data in order to steal from me, but just in case they find a way, I'd rather not offer up that data because "who cares".
I usually use the map view with the sidebar list, and the picture gallery there has shrunk, the map has also been shrunk. On a property's view page, the map was moved way down the page. They also monkey around with the listing/sales history. Lots of little things that accumulate in one's mind over the years.
The extreme left, marginalized ? Come on, they were able to push near resignation on of their own (ie. a hardcode Sanders support) at Evergreen College and in Canada, they were able to pass what essentially boils down to "compelled speech" law.

They are nowhere near "marginalized", quite the contrary...
Like colleges.
Tried getting a job to move to Rails development once. I have 5+ years of PHP and MVC frameworks experience. They said I can't get the job for two reasons:

1. If they tried hiring me as a mid-level Rails dev, I'd be too inexperienced in Rails

2. If they tried hiring me as a staring Rails dev, I'd be too underpaid

So apparently, my past web dev skills are non-transferrable to some companies that hire web developers. Yikes.

How much free space is there in the user's home? Can we target them with furniture ads? If they have a lot of furniture, can we target them with reupholstery or furniture polish or other such maintenance ads?

Do they have a big home? Do they have a small home? I'm sure this is valuable for advertising reasons as well.

How often do they clean their home? If they're cleaning all the time, maybe we should target them with ads for professional cleaners. If they rarely clean their home, there's probably something of value that can be learned from that too.
If you are complaining that the mathematical toys of Game Theory are inadequate for modeling human moral/ethical/rational behavior then I agree with you whole-heartedly.

I'm just insisting that we keep the math toy and the interpretation of the math toy on different "logical levels".
I think those features are compatible with this model - RSS handles edited content just fine (clients can store the old content, but there is a canonical "latest" version).
This looks like a fun idea, and searching turns up some very interesting results on strategy.

But the game itself doesn't seem to accept typing bids; pressing a number key does nothing, and pressing enter seems to submit a bid of 0.

I'm responding to the point that voters need to be rational and educated for a direct democracy to function. It only requires that voters have a bias, however slight, to making the 'right' decision.

Don't think too much about how to define 'right' because you'll drive yourself mad. All that matters is the belief that in the long run people tend to make 'right' choices slightly more often than wrong ones.
Is there some way to normalize the document length?
Don't assume they'll be so uncreative with your data. For example, if there are time stamps on the collected data it could tell someone when the Roomba tends to run and that might indicate when you are gone from your home.

> Otherwise autoconf is superior in every aspect.

Now this is a statement I didn't expect. I currently use make for my simple projects and, as commented a few mintues ago, looking for insight into what makes a good build-system (ignoring popularity).

I used automake/autoconf briefly but it always tripped me up (though I should admit I never learned it properly).

Could you expand on why you think autoconf is superior?
The first sentence in that post.

"One of our previous posts, Why You Should Use F#, listed a few reasons why F# is worth trying out today"

I would argue F# is a much better business programming language than C#. Admittedly, I am not very good at it, and have barely done more than a few toy programs in it, but F# (like most FP languages) allows you to bake in a lot of the rules into the Types themselves, and immutability combined with a lack of nullness protects you from a lot of footguns.

And I agree with you about advertising and unintended effects. To me modern life seems more and more like a giant open-ended experiment, one with no control group...
many competition solutions use stacking, where you use the probabilities of several classifiers are used instead of their predictions.

Since naive bayes makes an independence assumption, and most competitions have features that are highly correlated, its probability / confidence of its prediction is probably a lot more useless than other classifiers.

besides that, nb doesn't do feature selection, regularization, and interactions like many tree based algorithms (such as XGBoost) do out of the box.

interactions is a big one for me. With NB, you have to add an interaction feature by multiplying two together, but in creating the feature you must steal some probability away from the other stuff, and finding a good interaction among many features is hard. The tree structure of random forests naturally captures that

edit: to your last point, nb does worse on larger data sets. when you dont have a lot of data, you have to make larger assumptions. NB makes a big independence assumption, thus it does well on very small data sets but falls short on large ones
Roomba is in a very special category of machines, one able to collect indirectly samples of human tissue, drugs like cocain, etc... as part of their normal work.

Therefore the bigger trouble is not in the data that iRobot could have about your cleaning chores or the shape of your house; the real problem would be anybody with enough motivation ringing your door bell with a fake iRobot uniform and the generous offer to replace/upgrade your old roomba with a newer machine for free. Old fashioned social hacking.
Yeah, the second question is really important. What good is all the prep if you don't have an actual speaking engagement arranged?

And, you don't necessarily have to be "famous". One can keep an eye on conferences or other gatherings at which one would be interested in speaking. When they announce request for proposals, submit one. Spend a few weeks working on the request and make sure it is really well thought out and interesting.

when you get an opportunity to speak, take it (no matter how small). Speaking is a good way to build up that "fame" rather than the other way around.
I'm thinking not really that big a deal.. Maybe I'm just jaded.

address-> house size mapping has been done. (I think towns keep that data for tax purposes)

name -> address is a phone book away. (If you've ever bought a property you probably got some welcome mail from companies looking to sell you things)

the address->email address/online presence might be where the new data comes out.

I worked at a company that monitored peoples and businesses power use, on a circuit by circuit basis. This can be really invasive. When my boss went on vacation, his data clearly showed that (we used his house for testing). Our CEO asked his wife why she came home early, she asked how he knew (the garage door and kitchen power... He could keep his toys but not talk about it again.). Another person was wondering if he should talk to his dog walker because he noticed that one walk was really shorter than it should be...

Our sales guys would look at a company they had meeting with roof, to figure out the size and number of AC units, before going to talk to a business.

Benefits to CMake:

IDE Support: KDevelop and CLion both support CMake as a flag ship project file.

Why? A CMakeLists.txt has all you need: the project's debug/release build commands, include's for completions, and library files.

Growing ubiquity: More and more open source projects are build around CMake

CoreCLR, Swift, lua, SFML, opencv, cafe, zlib, libevent, blender, protobuf

Some fast facts about these tools:

- CMake is complicated. Sure, there are macros. But it's not a bad thing. CMake's complexity is proportional to what it takes to do the job: finding header files and libraries across platforms, detecting compiler features, and so on.

- This isn't the kind of a job that can be solved by a simple, beautiful 50 line file.

For instance: Stuff like finding SDL2 header files across platforms is hard because OS leave them in /usr/include, /usr/local/include, then within that, some keep them under SDL or SDL2 within that. Ergo, custom modules need to be built to handle the differences that have organically manifested in distros over the years.

- In order to have software binaries built for as many platforms as possible, a build system needs to be able to test that certain functions exist.

For instance, tmux: https://github.com/tmux/tmux/blob/45ee118/configure.ac#L427. The only way for tmux to know if it should "polyfill" getopt is to run a small snippet of code.

If your system has it, it stores HAVE_GETOPT. If not, it has to get fill in getopt at https://github.com/tmux/tmux/blob/45ee118/compat/getopt.c via https://github.com/tmux/tmux/blob/45ee118/compat.h#L352

- Understand the point of these kind of tools is solve a problem: Getting your source to build across a range of platforms, not just Ubuntu!

- Not to mention, CMake has compatibility for various generator outputs. For instance, it can output Visual Studio projects, XCode projects, and even more popular, Ninja (https://ninja-build.org/)

- CMake gives leaves helpful debug output when so you can get help when you're troubleshooting (cmake --system-information sysinfo.txt)
Hey, w/o getting too specific, speaking as a former iRobot engineer when the 900s were developed / released (unofficial, not representing iRobot, blah blah ) - the privacy implications were thought of a lot when these products were developed. There really aren't any images or data that could be reconstructed / assembled into images ever sent to the cloud, persisted on the device, or available to send to the cloud.

I do understand the pessimism, especially with all the privacy horror stories you hear out there, but I can say that Colin / iRobot arent playing games with their words when it comes to this.
It's AZLyrics's responsibility to police their own trademarks, so it's okay, unless they say it is not in a C&D letter.

So it's legally okay, as far as we know.

Still a dick move, though. It's not okay in my opinion. But I'm not the one who may gain or lose thousands of dollars by deciding whether or not to do it, either. I can't say for certain whether it would be okay or not from outside my comfy judgment armchair.
Why would you want to use callbacks?

Here's a code example from an npm package I was looking at, vs how I would rewrite it in modern JS:

https://gist.github.com/scf4/8157abd755eb9c232e87dcc342b78b4...

Some of it may be preference but a lot of it is objectively simpler to reason about.

I don't understand why anyone would choose to make things unnecessarily complex.
Just some feedback to say, I first tried to find out what dev.to is all about by going to your site and heading to the footer to click 'About' but it keeps loading more content :)
Yeah, that's incredibly shady.
It's an interesting demo, but I think it's still a bit complex for the future of 'fake news'. Remember, most people's standards for proof are not 'video required or get out'. They're quite willing to believe simple text and image based stories if it backs their preconceptions and the source looks semi plausible.

Those who are prone to believing fake news (an audience which likely consists of about 80% of the population, many intelligent people and journalists included) will believe it without fancy video evidence.

Those who aren't prone to believing it will likely realise it's on a website with questionable credibility and not give it the time of day based on that.

A government may use this for propaganda, but it seems too expensive and too complicated for your typical fake news site to use.

Lots of reasonable hacks.

1. Use only the beginning of the document, as that's probably the most important part anyways, and it's fast.

2. Divide the sum of your feature scores by sqrt(n) to give it constant variance, and hopefully keep it comparable with your prior.

3. Split the doc into reasonably sized chunks, and average their scores rather than adding them.

My guess would be that they would be motivated enough to check references of individual researchers. If they reference a paper on their journal, and neither the researcher or the university have a subscription, they might harass them with legal threats at the very least. Its horrible and I hope that doesn't happen, but its something I would not put past them if they felt their bottom line was affected.

You've linked to Wikipedia but there is no evidence there supporting your claim. In fact the criticism section includes pro-ODF supporters claiming the exact opposite:

> The ODF Alliance UK Action Group has stated that [...] the Office Open XML file-format is heavily based on Microsoft's own Office applications and is thus not vendor-neutral

If you've ever seen the specs for the old, binary office formats (they can be obtained) then you'd know that they are very complex indeed and that their OOXML siblings are pretty much direct encodings of the same data structures with some adaptations for the limits of XML. There is no credit to the argument that Microsoft deliberately made the OOXML office formats complex compared with the existing binary formats.

It's true that Microsoft pushed hard to get OOXML through the ISO, but the reason for that is clear: they wanted an open standard that was 100% compatible with existing Office documents. Something like ODF which lacks many of the features of Office would not do. It also makes their developer's lives a lot easier if they can specify a standard which describes their software's current behaviour. This is exactly what what Adobe did with the PDF ISO standard (1000+ pages) and nobody complains about that.
I know this doesn't add value but if you think CloudFront is expensive you should see how much CDNs used to cost before CloudFront came around. The fact it doesn't change you for the bandwidth between S3 and CloudFront is key too.

Try pricing it against Google https://cloud.google.com/cdn/pricing and Level3 http://www.level3.com/en/products/content-delivery-network/

As someone mentioned, CloudFlare initial seems cheaper but you give up some stuff like control of your DNS and they can shut you off or start showing CAPTCHAs at any time unless you pay for their higher plans. Which might be worth it, you have to weight the pros and cons.
I know like 2 engineers who are really, really good at coming at problems from a business perspective and I know like 70 who work the way you describe.

Maybe it's because if you acknowledge the business as the most important, then engineering is only a means to an end and not important. I think that's an error in reasoning, but it makes some sense.
Even if you look at Kitware own products they full of quite outdated and ugly code. I think it's because amount of code and platform-specific hacks in CMake / CPack / CTest is just too hard to maintain and many things will break hard while there was no changes in them for years.

Also copy-pasting sometimes work better simply because very few developers actually able to check how their own configuration work across multiple platforms and endless number of Linux distributions. It's might look easy to make your own configuration, but once you try to at least cover Windows, Mac and Deb-based Linux it's take weeks to debug everything. Instead you can copy-paste someone else module, change few lines and it's will already cover everything you need.
