>Which, all things considering, is ridiculous. People shouldn't be able to be convicted because they're assholes (even if they are).

Why not? This is basically what the law does as well: codifies what society considers punishable assholery (e.g. murdering people or stealing or etc...).

So convicting him because he has been as asshole (even if it's in an unrelated case) is not that different to convicting him for being guilt on this or that legally defined behavior -- it's just not written down in a law book.

Data ethnography to reduce bias
Sure. As an adult you can still continue seeing it as wrong (if you did before). It will just not give you chills.

Trouble with children is that they may not yet have the moral compass for lack of a better phrase. I would find it important to talk to the child and ask him what he's thinking about the videos, and make sure he understands that the behavior in the videos is horrible, ends the life of another person, what that means, etc. I'd also make sure the child would not get trapped in some cycle of feeling guilty for simply watching some videos and having/not having whatever reactions to it.
You may be excited about a technology from the sixties called "acid" that allows you to do just this. (Somebody had to say it)
I'm embarrassed to admit how much I'd actually pay for this, but suffice it to say I'd consider $120/year a bargain.
I can't wait to never use MATLAB again.
It seems to me that this is kind of a litmus situation - this case reveals what you think of the DOJ. If you think that they somewhat routinely frame people that they are "after", then you look at the fact of the accusation and see this case as more proof that security researchers should be cautious (and maybe avoid entering the US).

On the other hand, if you think that the DOJ, while subject to making mistakes, does not often knowingly and deliberately falsely accuse people, then you look at the alleged behavior, and realize that it is well outside the bounds of whitehat behavior.
They had a 3G macbook prototype years ago, never went with it.

The integrated 3G & GPS in my ThinkPad is very convenient.
I'm never entirely sure what people mean by "taking something to its logical conclusion", but if you mean something like "giving that consideration the greatest possible weight" I think where you end up is "end all reductions in sentence for pleading guilty", not "nobody should be indicted for anything".
I could see that he was expecting something like that based upon his press conference outside the courthouse. I think he's in for a very rude introduction to the concept of "intended loss" and the federal sentencing system in general.
The article is light on details and leave an important question's answer very vague: Did Hutchins sell his product in an underground market to an unknown identity? How much was the compensation?

These questions answered would make the case a "clear-cut".

And there is a big difference between selling your code in an underground market for $250k* with bitcoin, and open sourcing it for free.

*I come up with this number as an example.
> they seem to me more implementable in C++ than in Haskell

If you don't mind the overhead, it's ContT wrapping some base monad. Or you could make it integral. That is more specific than transducers, I grant. But there's not much they can do that ContT over like Array does not.

I think it's too bad they were invented in Clojure, because they're brutally hard to use right and write in clojure.

I have some interesting work I could share in private on using them to provide stream fusion properties to pipelines of channels. Hit me up on keybase if you'd like to see. I don't want to open source it because then people will expect me to explain them and maintain them and I don't feel like it :)
I had a disagreement last year where someone was arguing for OpenOffice because it was the project they'd used for years, and I was arguing for LibreOffice because that's where all of the new development is. I was able to point to multiple major LO releases in the same period that one or two minor OO releases happened.

I don't remember if I ever convinced them, but it became even clearer to me that OO's development is the dried husk of its former self.

Much of what people have mentioned here will be really great. I think self-driving cars have the most potential to impact people lives day to day, followed by AR. I guess infinite, cheap, clean energy could also spark another industrial revolution.

But all these things aren't likely to impact the happiness and life satisfaction of those living in the developed world. The internet has been huge, but it really hasn't made us happier as a whole.

I would like to see someone create something that will make people's lives happier. That probably means doing something that will foster good human relationships and real world experiences.

I guess there's a lot of potential for driverless cars to help with that, but they could do the opposite as well. I think we need better tools for connecting with each other, understanding each other, forming social organizations and communities, and maybe changing the geography of cities to bring us closer together, rather than making it possible for us to be further apart. It's likely that new technology isn't needed, we just need to use what we already have in a new way.

If he gets any time it will be for the Drug pricing scandal.

So many CEO's/executives break so many laws. This guy just embarrassed all of the cogs in the game. He was an easy target for lazy federal workers. Plus--I imagine people around him gave up information freely?

He will be sentenced like O.J was in Las Vegas. Meaning--not for the Las Vegas crime, but the LA crime.

On a side note, I always felt Marty needs some lovin. He just screamed I need a relationship. All the reaching out a social media. All the coy looks. The little boy lost/missuderstood/lonely boy in the hoodie? I hope when he gets out, some patriotic lady takes care of him. I hope he doesn't need to pay, and it's a honest relationship. I feel his ego will still be warped though? "But I'm special? I deserve a model type?" There's usually a psychological reason men go to great lengths to make money. It's not just for financial security.

Unity has a specific situation with Mono that doesn't apply to anything else. It won't apply here, something like this can use the latest Mono.

Ok. And the join strategy (i.e IDs alignment) between data sources is defined (declaratively? Programmatically?) in the "translation" layer. Sounds very interesting.
I still think the URIs of the semantic web are a better idea, but given the fact that nobody (re)uses them, then why not a "translation" layer.
This isn't Unity. Why does Unity's version of Mono matter here?
ARKit seems like one of those technology breakthroughs that actually has gotten way less hype than you would think, but is legitimately a huge advancement.
So either I'd rather talk about the COMPUTATION and resource safety rather than the channel, as in Pipes/Conduit/Streaming from haskell.

OR, I'd rather deal with a direct actor model a la Erlang, Pony and Cloud Haskell.

Go's experience is so goddamn miserable it should just put the entire notion of async channels as a higher level programming library to bed. As a low-level primitive, it's okay but not fundamental.
Even if he did attempt to sell the data, is it illegal to sell data that is freely available on the internet (honest question, I couldnt find a solid answer via googling)? It might be against TOS.
Fair enough, thanks for providing that info.
Nonsense. The door is ajar, and the camera isn't in perfect vertical alignment with the door. I just checked this by drawing a line in photoshop. It's a straight line at an angle. And your "broken carpet" looks like a reflection on the carpet trim to me. The tile pattern is also consistent around the "break."

It should be significantly better, but can still pause. Beyond this, it really depends on how you are allocating/using/reusing objects... There are techniques you can use that aren't too painful to overcome some of the issues.
Part of it is that training the superhuman Go player is more parallelizable. The challenge is entirely virtual, and you can have unlimited synthetic training data by having Go-playing algorithms play each other.

I've never worked with machine learning in robotics, but my understanding is that physics simulators are still insufficient environments for training state-of-the-art robotic agents. Especially when using reinforcement learning or a similar algorithm, many models are trained with several real robots picking up real objects.
Try the Headspace app. Just using the first 10 free sessions should get you started. If you don't want to spend the dough Youtube has a bunch of guided meditations.

Or you can try standing in front of the mirror, look your self right in the eyeballs, say "I will stay focus on task X for the next 30 minutes", then slap yourself across the face 3 times. That always worked for me.
Right, I was talking about the EU rights, since you brought it up. Sorry for not being clear.
If jurors have unrealistic expectations about the quality, reliability and nature of forensic science based on tv, then they can't make rational judgements based on its presence or its absence.
Creating a quick to-do list every morning also helps.
I think there's very little evidence that the DOJ routinely frames accused computer criminals --- or even that they routinely make mistakes with them. The reality is that so few computer crimes are prosecuted that the ones that are are usually smoking-gun cases.

I can't speak to any other aspect of federal prosecution. My thoughts about computer crime prosecution definitely can't be extrapolated to my thoughts about criminal justice in general.
Yes, that's a solution, but the boarding pass is used by different entities like the TSA. So it's unsurprisingly a big political event to change what's encoded.

It's similarly surprising how often devs think the problem is solely technical :)

That is not at all what I read. It seemed like he personally made a lot of money from his pharma business, and used that to repay the investors of the fund?

Apple Watch Series 3 to Feature 'All-New Form Factor'
I'm going to have to disagree. Here's my default article I turn to on the matter - http://www.npr.org/2012/01/01/144550920/physicists-seek-to-l... .

The problem, up until the advent of MOOCs, was there was no incentive for higher education to improve. Prices go up every year, more instruction is dumped on post-docs and adjuncts instead of professors, but the number of people going to college continues to increase. Why improve your product if people keep buying it regardless?

And this idea of active learning is nothing new. Maria Montessori did extensive research on effective teaching methods more than a hundred years ago and moved more and more heavily to small projects and physical interaction as the most effective means of instruction.

http://www.infomontessori.com/sensorial/visual-sense-binomia...

I happen to like the binomial cube as an example, because it takes a confusing, "just memorize FOIL" type of concept and turns it into something you can directly interact with to develop a much clearer understanding.

And of course, there's things like this: https://xkcd.com/1356/

Or the explorable explanation that was on the front page the other day about game theory and trust: http://ncase.me/trust/

Or Brett Victor's classic Up and Down the Ladder of Abstraction: http://worrydream.com/LadderOfAbstraction/

The ability to interact with a model blows traditional educational methods out of the water as far as gaining serious understanding (imo), and I expect this type of instruction to only grow in importance as time goes on.

"Life hacks" like this are part of the larger category "crimes that Americans like to brag about".

There's some strange cultural thing where people are proud of telling others how much they can get away with. You hear this all the time when talking about taxes, "yeah I figure out how to put all my personal travel down as a business expense". It's especially egregious with warranty/insurance fraud, such as when people drop their phone in water and then pretend it's a manufacturer's defect.

None of this really bothers me, but we wonder why companies look to nickel and dime us all the time. It's because we can't be trusted! Give the american consumer an inch, and he takes a mile. We have an adversarial relationship with almost everyone we buy from / sell to, which I think is a big source of pain and inefficiency.
Learnings from One Year of Building an Open Source Elixir Application
If "fabricating" means violating ToS and probably damaging (or at least impacting) the legal revenue of the companies that owns the games, I can't see how to run a company without hiding the real origin of the digital assets.

AFAIK to sell a digital asset under the umbrella of a legal entity like a company, its origin must be legal too.

If the income is big enough (and it seems so), there must be some kind of legal structure to sustain it for such a long time.
Capitalism, apparently.

Though, to be a bit more generous, I'd interpret that people hate airlines without really having a conscious reason, so they make something up that's visible and easy to be upset about. E.g. Cost of flying, leg-room, crappy service, "run by evil corporation". I'd posit that they somehow see something wrong with it, yet can't pin-point what that is. In my view, somehow they realize that a government-enabled and enforced monopoly makes the whole thing unfair. And if only we had no intervention and prevention of competition, they'd finally see "nice" airlines. But until they actively "see" that, they'll always think that it's the government that's preventing the really nice peachy happy people from running an airline that they'd enjoy using.
Thus making carriers even stronger.
Safe choice. I Like both, and Crystal is definitely faster, but its not as developed as Elixir as far as ecosystem maturity or community.
Aspose.Newsletter August 2017: Manipulate HTML File Programmatically and More News
Probably free data as long as you have an Apple Music sub, or something like that.
There's also the fact - if I understand it correctly - that the filesystem in Gobo -is- the "package database"; if it is in the filesystem, it's installed and can be looked up easily by the system. Or browsed manually. It's also friendly to manual installs; once you install things manually, it's now a part of the package database!

That's the one thing I hate about package managers - if you need to install from source, the manager has no clue about it; in fact, you can have multiple versions installed - a new version "from source" and an old version from a real package via the manager! It's also possible for the manager to uninstall stuff it knows about - along with part of the stuff of the new version, depending on various things.

I ran into that earlier when I had to upgrade and munge my Ubuntu system to get TensorFlow to work properly with Python 3 and some other stuff and crap I forget about; long story short, I can no longer perform an upgrade to my system (I'm on 14.04 too!) - the tool b0rks hard when I try, and I honestly don't recall enough to return my system back to working status (I also had to install a major upgrade to gcc - which necessitated upgrades to other things, new manual symlinks, hours of swearing).

This was all needed for the Udacity Self-Driving Car Engineer Nanodegree because of their system requirements for code and such (had I been running 16.04, it would have been easier - most likely - but that was also fraught with potential issues, which is why I didn't pursue it). Looking back on things, I probably shoulda used a container or VM, or built a new machine, but I was pressed for time. I was assured in the beginning, before the class started, that what I had would work - like many things in the course, this wasn't true (I'm not saying they lied or misrepresented stuff - my cohort was only the second cohort from November, and so I am a part of the "guinea pig" crowd as they debug the new course - paying beta tester, if you will).

A system like Gobo might have been useful for this...
Apple already has the first mover advantage on this. Will be interesting to see how Google/Android will overcome it especially given they don't entirely control the hardware. They should at the very least add the necessary hardware in the next Pixel phone.
As someone who has studied post-Roman Britain as an amateur, I would guess they got on a boat and left Britain the same time the legions took off to play imperial whack-a-mole. That whole period of history is basically about migrations and population displacement, so it hardly seems unlikely that they could have effectively 'disappeared' over the next 3 centuries.
EURGBP Remains Bullish, Resumes Broader Uptrend
Uh, 386 support got dropped with linux ~3.8 IIRC.

Besides, you don't really want to try and run a modern kernel on anything less than say a pentium3 due to RAM constraints. As someone who tries this kind of stuff in an effort to keep some older hardware running, even when you do get it up, the experience can make it basically unusable. Waiting 30 seconds for a login prompt/whatever isn't "usable". Sure, you can disable 95% of the kernel, but all kinds of stuff actually have hard-coded dependencies on things you normally never use, simply getting the kernel up isn't the same functionality that was achieved (full X/WM/browser/etc) on the same hardware a decade or two ago.
I think its all about marketing when it comes to convincing people, nobody imagined computer phones and the idea would seem weird then, like why put a computer on your phone.

I think ARKit has potential, Pokemon Go is still big and Snapchat glasses has generated hype among people that don't identify the glasses with AR.
I totally agree. (I only disagreed with the tiniest detail of his point and meant only to rebut that).

I would like to point that with pair of tongs you will still have force feedback. Even though is will be reduced in precision it will still be better than any artificial system I am aware.
One thing I've always been amazed at when reading about spacecraft is the incredibly detailed level of control the scientists have over the craft.

The part you are missing is that 'agile' has spawned it's own industry that is going to be hard to supplant. From the 'if it doesn't work you're doing it wrong' to the 'we look busy so we must be busy' it's going to be some time before we can put agile behind us and get some work done.

The beauty of it is that ARKit also requires somewhat specialized hardware. But since apple controls the hardware as well, they can pull it off much faster than the android eco-system ever will.

They solve the chicken and egg problem, having phones with the needed hardware before the apps/demand even exists.
