You're not alone dude - I know several people, myself included, whose waistlines rapidly expanded when in their 30s and with kids < 3.

I'm only now starting to have a chance to go to the gym regularly again and am praying nothing changes!
Thanks for the heads up on this!
Same with Delta. Whenever I check in they pull more information than what's on the ticket. I would be amazed if they don't do simple validation to see that the PNR/name/etc... match their systems.

When I have a physical ticket, and change my seat on the app, they usually re-print my boarding pass with the new seat number on it.

This might work for some non-airline run partner lounges without flight data access, but usually those have "coupons" given by the check in agent for access. The video shows someone entering a Star Alliance lounge, using self serve scanners. They probably aren't network connected like a normal check in agent stand

Don't let the fact that he was 24 deter you. Over at r/bodyweightfitness, there are hundreds of people who started above 45 and are in better shapes than 20 year olds.

Obesity is now a taboo topic in tech because you might unfortunately step on the toes of a few sensitive people and be labelled a fat shamer. This is not the case.Obesity in tech is a disease on it's own and it needs to be fought with a sharp edged pitchfork. We need to help our colleagues who have lost hope and given up on ever being fit again.

It is never too late to get healthy again. If you're overweight and believe your work schedule cannot allow you to lose weight, give yourself a 6 - 8 month break. Step over to the r/bodyweightfitness Recommended beginner routine and make a big change in your life. You don't need an expensive gym membership. You can use the floor, parks, chairs, tables, doors, ledges, trees etc.

Sustainable weight loss is achievable by everyone, whether you're 40 or 50 years or 400 pounds or 600 pounds.

Consistency over time is the key!
You don't need to know how it works, you just need to download some software on your phone, or buy a hardware wallet, and then buy some Crypto from some place like Coinbase. Sending/receiving crypto (specifically Bitcoin or Ethereum) is actually very easy.

The real issues right now are:

1. Buying crypto in the US requires giving private info to 3rd party companies you may not trust (I wish my bank sold Bitcoin) or using a Bitcoin ATM, which most people would be hesitant to use.

2. Storing coins on your phone wallet has more risk than using Apple Pay or a credit card.

3. If you use a phone or hardware wallet, you have to maintain your mnemonic phrase, or if you lose your wallet, you lose all of your money.

4. Prices aren't stable, and people generally want their currency to be stable. In some countries, crypto is more stable than the local currency, but in the US, that isn't the case.

These things can be made easier, and hopefully financial institutions get on board and start providing crypto access with means of securely storing your mnemonic phrase in a way that they can't access without you.
I totally agree, and I think it's in different categories, depending on the crime. This guy might have escaped unless he came to USA for example, as extradition might mean a lot of work, for another they will leave no stone un-turned.

USA probably gets all the flight reservation data and take it from there. If you're a Russian criminal mastermind dying to spend some of that cash in Greek islands, they'll find out. (Better stay in Russia and pay Igor @ Russian Gov his share :) )
Thanks for the engaging questions! Reading between the lines, I think there's an important point that hasn't come across. Prodigy isn't SaaS --- it's a library you download and run. You can extend and customise every aspect of it, and there's definitely no lock-in. The model (and annotations) never have to leave your servers.

For the specific questions:

1. The built-in web views all have binary annotation interfaces. This is more of a design choice than a fundamental limitation, and the front-end is extensible --- you can add your own web views if you need to.

The binary interface is sort of a position statement. We think this is The Way, so we want you to try it. We'll have more input components in future, but at the start we want to guide people towards the intended workflow.

2. The beta focuses on NLP support, but there's a front-end for image classification, and a workflow page: https://prodi.gy/docs/workflow-image-classification .

3. You can usually get some accuracy improvement by retraining once all the annotations are available. I've not found a streaming SGD algorithm that works as well as the simple iterate-and-shuffle batch process. Batch training also lets you tune the hyper-paramers. You can read more about this here: https://prodi.gy/docs/workflow-named-entity-recognition#trai...

I would suggest writing a Prodigy recipe to do the batch training. That way you can pass in the dataset ID, instead of exporting the annotations. There's no problem with exporting the annotations and running a script, though. Again --- it's all on your computer. You can run it however you like.
You mean, if criminal charges against Trump go to trial, which is far less likely than impeachment (which is tried by the Senate and has no requirement for impartiality) going to trial.
But wouldn't the fact that trials might be favoring conviction (I'm not saying they do, but just as a hypothesis) also drastically change the outcome of those non-trial cases (mainly plea bargains, I guess)? If I expect to be convicted, I'm more likely to agree to a worse plea bargain.
$10/mo is $120/yr to get access to the shared pool. That's the exact plan available for my iPad.

And for extra cheapskate-ness you don't event get one extra GB when you do that. Pay more for less.

I didn't know watches were less. I can't find anything on Verizon's site (from a quick glance) that mentions them, only that "tablets and hotspots" are $10/mo.

Even at $60 I don't think I'd do it. I might for my iPad, but not my watch.
It really depends. In the USA, the biggest benefit is that you can set your bags down and go to the can without worrying they are going to get stolen or carted off by bomb disposal. Also, you get free WiFi.

In other countries, airports tend to be more spartan, and the lounges nicer. Many of the Asian carriers offer sushi, noodle bars, top-shelf drinks, and showers.

Some things I've tried or have appreciated:

Don't have the candidate sit across from the folks doing the interview...have somebody sit next to them and include them with open body language, talk slowly and patiently (not rushed).

Have cold water available at the table, encourage drinking, don't make them ask for it--this helps calm nerves.

Be friendly when asking questions, show a little vulnerability--let the candidate double-check some code of yours (perhaps with a purposeful easy bug or two) to show them you respect their opinion.

If possible, do the reviews in a room with natural sunlight or some kind of human-friendly features to help decrease anxiety. Don't put the candidate in the corner away from the door, don't put your team between them and the door, etc.

Basically, just think about all the ways you feel uncomfortable in the room if you were in a bad situation, and try to pre-emptively mitigate them.
Yea I knew of limit which is why I knew you would have to change the query. It is a simple change but a change nonetheless. I didn't know that PostgreSQL also had a CROSS JOIN.

Anyways, my point was that it wouldn't be ORM support or tied to ActiveRecord that would prevent a business from switching databases but a whole lot of other work that would need to go on.

The software architecture benefits wouldn't be there either. They'd still have to build multi data center distributed systems, even with mainframes.
I knew nothing of ARKit until a few days ago when it started popping up on my twitter feed like mad. I have to say the tech literally sells itself because of the eye candy [1]. It finally feels like we are living in the future.

There's a Quora question[1] about this that has a different take than you:

> Uber is a tech company because that's what we do. We create a service that powers a marketplace through technology, and we provide apps that let people participate to this marketplace. Specifically, that marketplace lets individual users or businesses buy transportation services from partners.

> We are not a transportation company because we don't transport goods or people - our partners do. We just facilitate that. And we are not a cab company for the same reasons, and on top of this, we don't own a fleet of vehicles.

We can get pretty good throughput with our setup. But the main thing about our architecture versus others is that it makes the automatic customization we offer possible. For example it takes under 2 minutes to customize the API to be able to recognize ~10,000 custom words/phrases for whatever you're building.
Also, even if you disregard the "pop risk books" qualification, her argument comes down to "what did you publish on Roman Britain", instead of engaging with Taleb's argument.

Data-based exercise rocks. I never knew I'd enjoy the rowing machine quite so much until I got into the stats side of thing. It helps that the major manufacturer has a beyond awesome online logbook for analysing and comparing with other real people, plus challenges and so on.

If you're looking at creating an exercise app or community, take a look at what Concept2 do, it's lean yet pretty much well perfect.
You've obviously never made a paper plane out of a bank note.

It's just about unforgivable how long Apple sat on their Macbook charger til they finally let us swap out the brick<->laptop stretch of wire -- the part that actually breaks.

Astonishingly wasteful (both in dollars and electrical waste) to buy a new $70 brick when it was never the brick that broke.

Now you can just buy a $7 cord from Amazon when it breaks. Of course, go for an off-brand if you want one that won't fray in <1 year.
In fact, it is a new problem in fin tech. While ML can mimic human decision quite accurately nowadays, machines remain largely incapable to handle new information.

Now suppose again we have a machine that rate load applications. In the past when you write your occupation as AI scientist, probably it won't make a difference than others. However, same occupation in the past few years, even you haven't got the default data to retrain the machine, a human would know the risk is significantly lesser than the majority. The problem? While we think the machine is at inferring future outcome, it is not in some important cases which we are largely unaware of.
Prof. Beard is hiding behind the bad behavior of her opponents, there is no cogent answer to the question..

In fairness this is more then rehashing NIST 800-63. This is coming from a Google engineer who worked on their authentication systems. A lot of good advice here, starting with not building your own.
Again, no contradiction here. There is a fear that a white hat is being accused of black hat behavior. Not a claim. A fear. And a reality that a person (maybe white hat, maybe black hat, we don't know) is being accused of black hat behavior. Nothing surprising here. He may, or may not, be a black hat. The fear of unjust accusation is still valid. We will have to see if the DOJ will share the evidence, and what that evidence says.
Actually I'm glad there are (non profit) Python/Perl/Ruby etc foundations. I don't see that as corporate branding, but <language name> branding, e.g. owner of the trademark, receiving donations, running conferences.

> notion of a `calleable` type is gone

You can do this using the metaobject protocol and defining a class with a metaclass of FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-CLASS, for example, given:

(defclass c ()
((x :initarg :x :accessor x))
(:metaclass funcallable-standard-class))

(defmethod initialize-instance :after ((c c) &key)
(with-slots (x) c
(set-funcallable-instance-function
c
#'(lambda ()
(format t "~&I'm #~a" x)))))

Then (funcall (make-instance 'c :x 3)) will print "I'm #3".

> `nth` isn't defined on vectors or strings (but you can still `length` them!)

ELT in Common Lisp is generic over sequence types. NTH is specific to lists. If you want to write a function that is generic over sequences, use ELT. If you know that you have a list or an array, and you're writing something performance sensitive, you can avoid type dispatch overhead by using NTH or AREF instead of ELT.

> nor is `first` and `rest`

You can avoid that friction a lot of the time by writing in terms of MAP, REDUCE, REMOVE-IF-NOT, and so on, as well as LENGTH and ELT, which are all generic over sequences, or doing (iter (for x in-sequence sequence) ...) or whatever.

But if you really want to use FIRST and REST to walk through a vector, you can do (coerce vector 'list) first to convert it. Coercing a list to list will just return that list, so that version would work for either, too. I admit, there's no real reason I know of (aside from lack of demand) that there isn't a predefined function like:

(defun vector-rest (vector)
(make-array (1- (length vector))
:displaced-to vector
:displaced-index-offset 1))

Then if it bothered you you could do something like

(defun head (sequence)
(elt sequence 0))

(defun tail (sequence)
(etypecase sequence
(list (rest sequence))
(vector (vector-rest sequence))))
She not only mentioned that in the article, it's the truth? And how is that a slight? It's bloody amazing that you can write books on risk that reach mass audiences. It's only a slight to Taleb because he prefers to think of himself as above the fray.
a 6-8 month break from work? Who can afford that?
The piece seemed like it was intended to explain the historical consensus on ethnic diversity in Roman Britain and how that consensus was achieved, which one can't really do reasonably in 140 characters. She mentions the Twitter drama for context, but I think she's trying to keep the debate focused on the point of factual contention rather than personal conflict.

If people want to get anything productive at all out of these constant Twitter flareups they need to allow for de-escalation.
VR will dominate entertainment, AR will dominate industry. Although I can see AR taking up some of the entertainment space as well (Pokemon Go for example).

Hi. Neuroendocrinologist here. Body fat is regulated by specialized circuits in the hypothalamus. We now know that inflammation of these central nuclei is a key feature of weight gain in both animals and humans.

There are two sets of neurons: those that promote feeding and slow metabolic rate, and those that suppress feeding and increase metabolic rate. The former class of neurons is GABAergic (inhibitory in neuroscience) and the latter is glutaminergic (stimulatory). Generally in animal experiments, the gabaergic neurons that drive feeding and conserve stored energy outnumber the glutaminergic neurons by a great deal, and over the lifespan of an organism, they increase in number.

Its been noted in some animal models that weight loss interventions are not permanent because they lead to alterations in this circuit to further promote weight gain and energy conservation. This may be why most humans also regain weight after losing it. If you think about it, it makes sense for most control loops in the body to "fail safe", IE, its much preferrable to gain weight than starve to death. This circuit thus fights to preserve fat mass.

Some "food for thought"

Looking on eBay it seems you can get an A500 for about £100. If you were looking for a machine on the cheap you could stick with the 0.5MB expansion that most of them have, or perhaps go for a cheap accelerator. The cheapest I know of is the TerribleFire range, which are all open-source (self-assembly required unless you can find someone to build one for you). The TF530 would be a decent upgrade, not would you have an 030 for playing some of the more demanding OCS games you'd also be able to store your games on CompactFlash storage:

https://github.com/terriblefire/tf530

Talking of the TerribleFire, the developer posts video blogs of their development on YouTube, it's fun to follow along if you're into retro hardware. His latest board is a CD32 expansion he designed the PCB for in a weekend!

When we are small we barely do any better than current gen robots.

Thing is that each of us accumulate prior data that we can use as a basis for future action, things like how much pressure is enough for grasping a raw egg without breaking it.
Mozilla employee paid to work on Rust here. We (that is, Mozilla employees who work on Rust) tend to think of Rust as an open source project we contribute to heavily, rather than a Mozilla project that's open source. This has a number of implications.

Mozilla holds a trademark on the name and logo, and pays some salaries. They also pay for the CI bill. Copyright is held by the individual contributors, not Mozilla.

Governance of Rust itself is comprised of many small teams. https://www.rust-lang.org/en-US/team.html Last time I checked, there's roughly 60 people on those teams, and 15 of them are employed by Mozilla. The "core team" is 6 Mozilla employees out of 9 people.

We have had almost 2100 contributors in an all-time sense, for each six-week release period, we have about 120 people on average. So the vast majority of work is done by non-Mozilla people.

Take from this what you will :)

Story told by Edward Prather (Arizona)[1] at MIT[2]. I failed to quickly find an obvious publication.

My recollection is the course was elsewhere, he was invited to lecture (astronomy education improvement is his thing), and said let's instead set it up as a trial, and use this student instead of me.

[1] https://profiles.arizona.edu/person/eprather
[2] http://web.mit.edu/physics/events/colloquia.html May 11, 2017, but this link may rot soon.

EDIT: I should amend "inexperienced postdoc" with "who was trained in active learning instruction, and prepared the course with a highly-experienced astronomy education researcher". Because a key issue with active learning is that doing it well, and thus deploying it rapidly, is hard.
Honestly, it may not be at the level you are describing here now, but I have been overwhelmed by the ability I've had to find small figments of memories with Google search. For example, I had a faint memory of a movie I watched as 4 year old, and could only remember a few generic nouns describing it, and after a few minutes of searching I was able to pinpoint. This wasn't possible years ago, either because the search engine itself wasn't ready, or that the information simply wasn't on the web. Now both of those are true, and only becoming more so, so they are improving in tandem.

I'm pretty confident I can find something on the web by only knowing a few keys words.
