There is something to be said when you are the recipient of the assumption. For me, I would make every attempt to fulfill that assumption. This is my experience when extending the assumption of positive intent. It is implicit trust. When you start from a good point, it is more likely to continue. Especially in business dealings. There is a time and place to keep a distance, but on new encounters and dealings, it is best to move forward.
A surprising amount of phenomena in today's world can be explained around this theory. Every prediction in the "Further Expectations" section has in a way come to pass. As far as his prediction that money becomes "less important" it's possible that within a century VR will recreate a number of the experiences you would need material wealth to obtain today. A trend has already begun with younger generations giving preference to virtual experiences. It's still hard to tell if that's a world I'd want to live in.

Microcode updates have to be rerun every boot since the updates aren't stored. Modern chips use only signed updates.

I'd be pretty surprised if they were successfully attacking chips through this mechanism. There are so many other devices that are much easier to own.

"Patriarchy is a model whose name alone..." is ad hominem. Tone policing ("...you're really going above and beyond with the contempt...") is ad hominem. In the sense that both shift focus to the speaker rather than the subject.

Pointing out that neither of those things are valid arguments is not ad hominem.

I haven't insulted you; pointing out that you're ignorant and inexperienced is giving you the benefit of the doubt. Those things are curable.
People may love to say "it's just business" when they do something that's hurtful to you; they'll still treat it as treachery when you turn the tables.

Currently we train on AWS EC2 instances. In the very beginning I was training on the GTX 980Ti in my desktop, which actually performed way better than I expected. Models trained faster on that machine than on p2.xlarge instances on EC2. But the advantage of training multiple models simultaneously, and using multi-gpu machines made the switch to EC2 worth it.

If, as you wrote, you "return to reddit" when you are done, doesn't that kind of imply that you left reddit to watch the video?
Guardant Health is a member of the Blood Profiling Atlas for Cancer (https://www.bloodpac.org/members/) too with a commitment to opening up data for faster discovery. So they're good people!

Now you have to wonder why John Hopkins isn't party to it...
Assuming they continue to move forward with this, the tech keeps advancing, and they apply it to increasing intelligence, how should society respond if they are being left in the dust?

It seems the only real option is follow along or hope you don't get exterminated once the gap is big enough in case they feel lesser people are not worth the resources they take up (or decide to enslave them maybe). Not saying China would do this, but who knows how that situation could evolve, particularly as resources get more and more scarce.

As a Google Fi user, who frequently gets relevant ads immediately after talking about a product on the phone (voice call) with my girlfriend - I do fear a world where Google controls the OS.

Once I also mentioned some tv's I was interested in (not on the phone, but in the same room as the phone) and also got ads right afterwards. I do not know if it was related to an app open or the phone itself, but a scary invasion of privacy nonetheless.
Mutations are stochastic.

Pick a hundred cell lineages from skin samples, and merge back to the common root genome minus the stochastic mutations in their ancestors. Then apply CRISPR or some selection technique to the skin sample you've converted to iPSCs to obtain the genome you want. Most of that could be done with today's technology, were anyone so inclined.

Twenty years from now this will be an afternoon intro project on one of the lab machines in CellBio 101.
> Good whiskey needs no adulteration.

Most whiskey is not sold at cask strength so evidently most distillers disagree. On the other hand, the higher quality whiskies are usually the ones that have lower cask strength and higher bottle strength, i.e. less diluted.
> Ethereum .. turned out to actually deliver all the crazy stuff they promised

I'm just a bystander in all this but I distinctly remember the phrase the code is law bandied about, followed by a hard fork.
The ease (or lack thereof) of picking locks isn't the issue. Forced entry isn't very hard for many (possibly most) homes. As a person with a home, I guess it's nice that forced entry makes it obvious that an unauthorized person has been in my house, but missing belongings would be pretty obvious too.

> It's fascinating to me that 100-year-old fonts can still be so expensive

I wonder if it would've been cheaper for them to commission a clean-room digital version of Gil Sans? From what I gather the font itself (published 1928) is out of copyright in the UK, so the main licensing issue is probably just the more-recent digital representations.

Then charge by weight. Just because someone is taller doesn't necessarily mean they weigh more or that I occupy more space. How about making seats narrower instead making me put my knees in the back of seat in front of me?
Progress in cell therapy strongly depends on progress in controlling cell state. A world in which the research community has advanced enough to make stored cells really useful, but not advanced to the point at which it couldn't just recreate something very similar to those cells from an aged skin sample at little cost seems highly unlikely.
Good. I think it would be nicer if it made you jump through the same scary dialog provided for self-signed https. I've always felt that dialog was hypocrisy when http gets a free pass.
> Sure, video is expensive

Relatively. CDN costs have plummeted over the years. It now costs $5/TB to serve videos, and under $3/TB if you're in petabyte ranges (BunnyCDN, BelugaCDN).
Users might feel like adding a monetizing strategy to existing "free" is Reddit selling out. Whereas if you just add a "new" feature and monetize that, people are less likely to rebel
Currently 93% of the hashpower is signaling that they will switch from the legacy chain to the new hard fork.

If the main chain has a very low hashpower, then anybody and their mother can attack it/double spend/ ect very easily.

The miners on the fork could even commit some hashpower on their own to attack the old chain, so as to make sure that the new one wins.

Bitcoin cash never has the support of any significant amount of hashpower, so of course the main chain is still around.

re: "Genetic tax"-

Yes, it is a genetic penalty in the sense that tons of things in life are genetic penalties / rewards. Happy with your IQ? Sad about your attractiveness? Have to spend money on acne cream? Have to buy feminine hygiene products? Not seen as attractive by the opposite gender? Sad about your lack of ability to be a professional baseball pitcher?

It's life, get over it.

Not to mention, I'm going to guess that you wouldn't trade your position with someone who's 5'4", even though you'd save a few bucks on flights.
Interestingly enough, if you look at the Linux kernel in terms of LOC, it is lower than Win7/8/10 which are lower than MacOSX.
So could I. No looking at the keyboard and almost never making a typo. I had to backspace and correct 3 typos writing this on my iPhone with autocorrect fixing several more.
Could be a new idoimatic phrase:

"And if you believe that then have I got a paper for you..."
At a local-level, each sensor builds a background model, which we diff against & combine w/ inference outputs for detections (background modeling helps reduce our false-positive rate). At a global level, we continuously push new pre-trained models over-the-air. These are built using 3rd party data sources (so not sourced from the sensors themselves).
It has little to do with intelligence. It has mostly to do with not having the first clue how to tell the difference between a legitimate attempt at dialog and ideologically-motivated rhetoric.

Hm.
Sent you a note!
This is correct, FBI have aided in the securing of many private sector systems in the past. When a few critical flaws in the consumer credit network (eg visa,amex) were detected it was with the FBI's assistance and they oversaw the implementation of improvements.
I was surprised to hear an ad for Kaspersky on NPR this morning. I know there's a disproportionate number of ads for Barracuda and other security services, but I was curious about an entity in the news running ads. The hosts didn't mention any connections to current events.
But perhaps because you're bigger you get to eat more and then spend less on weight-loss products.

Life has tradeoffs, you can't start correcting to make everything "fair". It's an impossible task, and not really worth anything in the end.
Alt-social network Gab booted from Google Play Store for hate speech
Ads, most probably.
A big problem here is that there isn't a smooth curve, as is the case with most other things. There'a a clear dividing line where the seat is just too small for you, and to upgrade to the next tier is considerably more expensive. It doesn't really matter where that line is - the net effect is that it's unfair to those who are on it. Although the smaller seats become, the more people are likely to fall onto that line.
I lost lots of nerd cred when I bought an intel synology nas, but it is truely a turn-key solution. 20-30W idle, docker, vm's, and I hve it set to do crash consistent offsite backup of all that (and my data) to the cloud. It supports many storage services, vanilla rsync, other synologies, etc.

It also lets me vpn into the house and stream locally stored music / video to my cell phone.

This took a day or so to set up.

Can't recommend it highly enough, but cost / performance / functionality are all > 10x a raspberry pi. The only thing it's missing is hdmi out + retro pi.
> 3 aims for code review:

> 1. Style/consistency, re-use of existing code, utils, etc.

> 2. Architecture/design, how does this fit into the rest of the codebase, scaling concerns, how will the deploy work, will this have race conditions, etc.

> 3. Knowledge sharing with other members of the team.

> Currently, it looks like this would satisfy half each of 1 and 2

In my opinion, Even a service that address the 1) and 2) add lots of value for so many IT projects (out side of cutting edge Startup companies )
Guess I just don't understand that idea of thinking ads are immoral but having no problem enjoying content without providing payment for it (in this case eyeballs).
Google: Deep learning for JS
I agree, both reasons. The funny thing about this, in a dark funny way, is, management often offers a veto right to the team. They say "if you don't rate the new manager you can deny". Then, they hire anyway, in my experience, more often than not if they like the guy. I think the excuse is "You people doing the work (often with 'in the trenches') don't understand the big picture, this new guy does, so your veto is annulled".
There was a huge migration of white people out of the city in the 1960s once they started bussing students between neighborhoods to improve diversity. In the following years, several suburbs have experienced similar 'white flight'. This might be changing, but it has a long way to go.

Regarding crime, I recently saw a map that showed a horrific level of lead poisoning in the urban Cleveland area children , most likely due to old housing stock.

April 2015? What day?

Seriously - this seems like a April Fools joke, a bad one at that.

I would not make a cooking robot like this. It's like building a plane that flaps its wings to fly.

Instead, you'd have a pantry of ingredients, some method of transporting those ingredients (and putting back), liquids would be pumped of course, etc.

In other words, design the machine for the task. There's no reason a cooking robot would need to have arms and hands.

That said, a purpose built machine would be an absolute bear to clean. So difficult, in fact, that nobody would buy it.

While a machine like this, if it were practical - could probably be kept relatively clean. Heck, if it were mounted on ceiling tracks, it could serve, get ingredients (from fridge or pantry), put out the dishes, wash them, do the laundry, etc...
I'm not a backend dev, but it feels like something lambda is trying to partially address.
I ordered Project Fi service recently, got my SIM card over 2 weeks ago and to this still still am unable to activate it and use the service. Their support has gone back and forth with me, and even escalated it to engineerse but nothing has been done to resolve the issue. Moreover they typically respond days later and ask me vague questions like whether or not I enabled Project Fi within Google Apps policy settings (I did that long before calling support). The whole thing has been a clusterfuck to be honest and I'm waiting one final response before I just cancel the whole effort outright and keep on keepin' on with AT&T. The sad part is that I purchased a 5X just for this.

that's quite impressive as Linux also contains the source code for mountains of hardware, from the most ancient to (almost) the most modern
That's really interesting. I was curious about Servo, but it ultimately ran terribly for me and so I (in my bustle) deigned it an experiment too early to spend time assessing -- since I'm not very experience with Rust.

Do you have any good resources here -- if for nothing else but to feed my, and anybody else's curiosity?
I looked into that previously. It's beautiful, exactly what I would need, but also very very expensive.
i agree with you but in ethereum's case they had several beta versions before the raise
Off topic but do you have recommendations for cheap rootable phones? (LG or otherwise)
Any such model MUST show what error handling will look like. Otherwise you end up with "log to console and ignore" approach so prevalent in Android SDK examples, which people _will_ copy unchanged.

If it was, how secure would Bitcoin be? How much more vulnerable would it make it to brute-force attacks?

There's nothing stopping you from applying the key derivation algo step by step using a calculator, or an offline computer.

It would make for an insightful, albeit time-consuming, experiment.

The HR rep pulled me into an impromptu meeting to find out what it would take to get me to stay. I told her I would need at least as much as the offer which was 40% more than my current salary. Her response was "do you think you are worth that?". I told her the other company thought so or they wouldn't have made the offer. Needless to say I didn't stay.
1. Get into bigco for three years and work hard to learn tech skills while being at bigco.

2. Join tinyco1 as CTO and apply your skills to build something real. If tinyco1 becomes mediumco1 within 1/1.5 years stop - you have arrived.

3. If tinyco1 feels shaky as a business after a year / year and half move to tinyco2 as CTO. If tinyco2 becomes mediumco2 within 1/1.5 years stop - you have arrived.

4. Join mediumco3 as cto citing your rich and varied experience.
Size is an issue not just weight. You're carrying the airframe around no matter what, and the fewer seats per flight the more shared weight per passenger.

The fact is, most Kubernetes projects I know are installed by Helm, and (it might have been you, personally who) explained to me that Helm is incompatible with a multitenant environment. I think they've made some strides since RBAC has gotten a little more polished, ... but please correct me if I'm wrong, OpenShift permissions model and RBAC are more compatible than I think.

The last I heard, you just can't really use Helm on OpenShift unless you go to some lengths to lock it down to a single namespace.

It would be amazing if someone could publish a Helm on OpenShift guide! Hmm, it seems you maybe already did: https://github.com/kubernetes/helm/issues/2517
Thanks! B Lab actually wrote a blog post recently about that topic: https://bthechange.com/how-investors-really-feel-about-b-cor...

> Let’s look at some B Corp investment activity from the past few months: Altschool, an education company that has already raised $130M from the venture community, announced a $40M raise just this month. In April, Lemonade, a peer-to-peer personal insurance startup, received a strategic investment from Allianz, after having closed a $34 million Series B round in December. In March, Data.world, an Austin-based tech startup, announced that it had secured a $19M Series B round from Chicago Ventures, Fyrfly Venture Partners, Hunt Technology Ventures LP, LiveOak Venture Partners, Shasta Ventures, and Sherpa Asset Management AG. Other venture investors in B Corps include Benchmark Capital, Founders Fund, Andreessen Horowitz, GV, Prelude Ventures, Tao Capital Partners, Khosla Ventures, S2G, Collaborative Fund, Blueberry Ventures, Thrive Capital, General Catalyst and Sequoia.

This maps to what we've been seeing at Clerky too - there could be some investors who have questions about PBCs or B Corps (we haven't come across them personally), but there are definitely investments being made by top-tier investors.
IP issue: Google doesn't have the right to give hardware vendors a pass on proprietary drivers for Linux. Ignoring the problem seems to work so far, though.

That said, a stable driver API with the possibility to update the kernel without updating drivers is probably more important to Google. In the best case (and I expect a worse result than that) it means that Android phones can be updated for a long time without requiring support from the vendor.

The damn vendors should just upstream the damn drivers. Drivers for embedded hardware are such a clusterfuck. You have no idea how bad it is unless you have worked in that space.

That's a recipe for over-treatment, which is already commonly happening for prostate cancer. As I mentioned earlier, it's very important to study outcomes! And not just do what seems reasonable.
Look at synology or one of the other NAS solutions. If you can deal with ARM (ie, not quite enough oomph for docker+vm use) you can get close to $100 price point, and hit all the requirements you mentioned.

However, I suggest forking out a few hundred more for an intel model if you can. My only remaining windows+office instance is now a vm on a 25w box that hosts a half dozen other things. The electricity this saves vs a desktop/home-built server has easily paid for the beefier CPU.

[edit: I estimate this setup is costing something like $20/month, including power + depreciation. Cloud backup is another $10/month, and I run a $1.30 / month cloud vm to host my website.]
Understood. But my original question was inspired by greg's claim that early diagnosis of fast-growing cancers typically won't help, because they're so fast. I was asking if it would feasible to do monthly at home blood tests as a way to detect even rapid growth cancers (and assuming that would be enough time).

The point you're making seems orthogonal to me. Unless you're claiming that treatment is never worthwhile for such cancers, no matter how early they're detected, but Greg's original statement seemed to imply otherwise.
Picasa photos manager.

Considering that Mr. Lattner pays tribute to the Akka library which is based on Erlang style actors. I'm going to assume he is going to go with Erlang style error handling. Allow actors to throw and allow supervising actors to catch those throws.
True. Peaking load was one of the few reasons (maybe the only reason) for storage before renewables. Pumped hydro was just about the only option. It works great as long as you have an elevated lake nearby.
I have been thinking of "Yishan-style CEOs" for a while now, and part of point is to deal with things like this better (including board of directors doing CEO searches publicly). Anil Dash once had a joke about it: https://twitter.com/anildash/status/893153626247626752
Globally, yes. And sure, we should care about the global more more than the poor of the developed countries. But I don't see any reason to believe so far that developed countries have solved the problem of rising inequality within their populations, so I see the rising inequality of developed nations as the future of all nations once they have all "caught up". So I would rephrase to say I hope inequality starts decreasing again in developed countries.
That's very true, I forgot about that.

I think I have an APC Back-UPS 425VA (or 600VA) that takes care of that for a sprinkle of RPis, a firewall, an access point and the ONT outside. I like to keep my connectivity during the very brief power outages (underground power).

I've been meaning to try using an Anker portable battery as an extended-run UPS, but haven't tried it, and I don't know if it'll keep the USB port powered on continuously.
