That baby photo was taken at a daycare in Bethesda next to his daughter's school. It's not hard to get a photo of babies at a daycare, nor is it hard to find one with more than one race in it, given that area is diverse. Nor would it be hard to find at least one photo of children of different races together after 8 years. Obama's photographer Pete Souza is very good at his job at capturing moments of Obama interacting with people at a large variety of locations, a lot of it shot documentary street photography style.

Obama wanted to tweet a message of unity, the same message Dr King gave in his I Have a Dream Speech, and the best way to do that, to get that point across, is with photos of children.

I don't know that Obama has an image team, maybe he does, but he seems to be intelligent enough over his long career, to have curated his own image, well before he became the President. He is very self aware. But one thing is for certain: Trump not only needs a social media team, he needs the self awareness to listen to them.

If you're very concerned, you could use a high speed/volume BitCoin Mixer[1]. For example, if it currently has sufficient volume, something on the Darknet like BitBlender[2][3]. There are a number of different mixers out there. You could also, of course, wash the BitCoins by hand yourself.

The problem is that there is not enough supply to meet demand, and it's politically trendy to blame demand. Squeezing supply is a surefire way to make sure only Google engineers can afford apartments, and that's a bad thing, but the typical anti-housing activist doesn't think this far ahead. They want to blame wealthy tech people for everything, but don't understand they're creating a world where only wealthy tech people can compete with existing property owners for housing.

Increased supply would boost the American economy and make everyone happy except the NIMBYs. But the NIMBYs have the political power.

That's fair enough, and I understand that you're trying to be an even, measured person, and I applaud you for that. When dealing with Nazis and white supremacists, though, we have to understand that their very existence is violence. For anyone with any decency within them, there is no middle ground to reach with a white supremacist. Think about it. What would the middle ground look like? OK, you can't lynch or kick out all minorities, but we'll let you have half? A third? It's ridiculous to even consider. The only answer is to snuff them out, and it will likely require a great deal of violence. MLK knew it; Malcolm X knew it; and every black person in America with half a pulse knows it.

Remember Ferguson? Remember how the Oath Keepers marched through black neighborhoods with machine guns? Can you imagine if black people marched through white suburbs with machine guns? If you can't, look at why California has strict gun laws - the Black Panthers. Or, why were only a few people arrested in Virginia? And, why were they treated with more decency than people protesting police brutality or the Dakota Pipeline? It's white supremacy in action.

You say you're from a communist country, and you may not be aware of America's history with white supremacy, but it runs deep. People who make false equivocations between groups like BLM and the KKK are no better than the white supremacists themselves, and they're the ones that allow this sort of thing to continue - in 2017 FFS.

This sums it up well:

That's an MLK quote. You don't like it?
Yes in the most general sense, a "data set" could be anything, but I'm talking about the highly curated and labeled data sets that are used to train contemporary ML systems.

You can feed a million images that are labeled "cat" or "no cat" to one of these systems and it can achieve a human-level proficiency at identifying cats in images. But, it won't be able to do anything other than identify cats, it's far too narrow to be considered intelligent in any way.

If you can feed a series of timestamped photos to a system, basically an unlabeled arbitrary video stream, and you can demonstrate that it formed some notion of what a cat is, that would be very interesting indeed.

(I don't have the full history, but from my experience...) When I first started using Selenium, it used browser-specific drivers that communicated directly with bespoke extensions/plugins/add-ons/what-have-yous. Then came Selenium Server which allowed for testing on remote machines. Then Grid allowed for simultaneous testing of many remote machines.

Due to the nature of browser plugins, they could only access information that the browser made available. Also, the dev's have consistently been of the opinion that they only care to simulate an end-user experience. (End user's only care about the webpage's presentation, not which headers were present per transaction.) Although, I suspect that early restrictions influenced that viewpoint.

It wasn't until much later that browsers started implementing their own automation channels; Chrome's Automation Extension and Debugging Protocol, Firefox's Marionette, etc. At the same time, browsers started putting additional security measures around plugins making it even more difficult to have consistent features across Selenium's drivers.

Which is why the WebDriver became an open specification instead various driver implementations. I believe, Microsoft was the first to implement their own driver, InternetExplorerDriver, for IE7+. Then ChromeDriver (powered by Chrome Automation Extension), GeckoDriver (Firefox translation to their Marionette driver), and SafariDriver is now baked into Safari 10.

Marionette is possibly the most interesting, but I lack experience with it. TMK it allows for automating the entire browser; both the webpage and the 'chrome' interface. Whereas Selenium, at best, could only simulate actions - like the back button - through Javascript. But, even with the Marionette's feature richness, you still don't get access to request and response information.

I think for most developers ("devs", "qa", "scrapers", etc.) there's very little appeal in moving away from Selenium because it would require maintaining multiple test suites. It gives consistent results and just works. If you want lower level information, it's fairly simple to either 1) just use a CLI client (curl, wget, etc.), or 2) a library libcurl, Requests(Python), Net::HTTP(Ruby), etc. etc. etc., or 3) setup proxy server. I do all of the above, each has it's own downsides clients and libs don't do any rendering themselves and proxies tend to rewrite transactions (ex. strip compression and add/remove/alter headers 'Content-Type: gzip').
Could you describe at a high level(or whatever level you'd like,) what goes into, or more specifically, what are the components of a crawler that makes it superior for these purposes?

Note that there's nothing special about the user's home directory here, it just happens to normally have u+wx. It's entirely possible to have the user's home not owned by themselves; you might want to do this for example if you have a restricted user who you don't want messing around with their dotfiles.

Bullshit. There are any number of ways to ensure the same functionality (just point a camera at the blade and have a computer stop the blade before it cuts somebody, rather than after, would be one obvious improvement) and if stopping the blade is mandated there will be plenty of competition.
I don't think it is not unique to tech investing, but it is true for all small companies.
The problem is that people who are drawn to F# tend to be a certain kind of people: generally stronger in CS, but also more prone to think that changing programming language is a solution to a wide variety of problems.

Many people are not like that, and stuff like a small community, worse tools and toolkits and less programmer availability are actually a huge deal, capable of tanking a good project, whereas having a 10% better language isn't a huge gain.

It's that simple.
Yeah exactly. I can't even really find what I am trying to say, but Doctypes had some other piece of data with it. Was it a link or string to a spec? Like XHTML vs HTML4. Randomly I am sure that if you omit it, then it is "html5".which is random, shouldn't they have forced a spec HTML5?

That choice basically says to me that the idea of partitioning, or whatever those doctypes were for, is now abandoned.
I work for an ISP and believe deeply in online privacy. I've had the idea of offering up an as-private-as-I-can-make-it VPN service a few times, but I always end up at the same point: wondering how I could prove that the service wasn't doing anything malicious or nefarious -- "taps", Netflow data, etc. would all be easily available to me.

What would it take to convince you that a VPN service was trustworthy?

The fallacy there is that Clojure development is drastically slowing in favor cljs. Because there's jobs doesn't mean anything with regards to dev status.

My dad has been writing COBOL for 30+ years, but I think we could both agree that it's a dead language in a certain sense.

My first language was Scheme. I wrote some stupid BATCH scripts at school and decided I wanted to learn to program. I worked my way through half of SICP, etc etc. I LOVE Lisps. I was rooting for Clojure a few years ago.

However, I think Clojure is embracing types too little too late. Large systems are hard to do in dynamic languages. There's no easy way around that. Sure, immutability helps, and having a strong style guide helps and having strong interactive programming helps, but it never goes away that it's harder to do when you can't reason about the structure of something without evaluating that thing.

That there are more Clojure jobs sprouting up as development is drying up screams disaster maintenance to me.

I'd love to be proven wrong. I would LOOOVE for Clojure 2.0 to fully embrace a strong type system and maybe some stricter semantics but it just isn't going to happen. Very few people are familiar with Clj internals, fewer people still are still working on it, and fewer people still plan on continuing that work for a long period of time.

Call me crazy, but I think there are two major threats to Clojure's current reign in the enterprise lispverse.

Racket's rewrite to Chez. That's big. That will mean big performance gains and I think could provide incentive for someone industrious to wrangle some of the crazier parts of racket into a coherent biz-ready language.

The other is Elixir. Now, I hate elixir but people seem to eat that kind of stuff up. They have a strong macro story, BEAM is very powerful in the right hands, and as time goes on it becomes more and more clear that it's easy to write high-concurrency, low-latency, SMP-enabled systems in Elixir.

Elixir doesn't have a type story (racket does, but it's kinda lame), but that never stopped Clojure up to this point.

Also, Clojerl (clj on erlang/otp) exists, which could strengthen the motivation for moving away from Clojure by making pure-clojure applications vulnerable to completely automated porting thus eliminating the need for clojure maintenance programmers.

That's my take on that whole situation.
I'd guess the lobbyists were doing the actual advising before this anyway.
Do you think it would be possible for an Information Systems major that isn't phenomenal at math to succeed in this program?

I took a couple of incredibly basic programming classes, a decent class on web development, and discrete math. However, I didn't do any higher-level programming, calculus, or an algorithms class. I'm not sure if I would be able to jump right in or not.
Maybe that could be a thing to prove.

Is it possible to prove that something is not provable?
Yeah, it's a little late, but not all hope is lost.

The AAS page lists the gear that meets the ISO safety standard, along with the vendors that carry it:

https://eclipse.aas.org/resources/solar-filters

I prefer the Baader solar film (for telescopes and cameras) or its newer "gold/silver" version (for goggles) because it's color neutral and it shows the Sun in its true color, not some arbitrary shade of orange, green, etc.

But any ISO-compliant filter should be fine.

Do you know any welders? Are there welding supply shops near you? Welding glasses #14 are ISO-compliant for the purpose of the eclipse. Even #13 are fine for non-continuous observation.

The building blocks of AI products are not stable enough for the industry to be respected outside of specialized cases. Too many crap models, not enough simple tools ensuring that models are not crap. I'm guessing these funds would go toward producing those tools.

This assumes he was actually absorbing the information in the first place.

On the one hand, I too would like our leaders to be as informed as possible, to have access to the most expert advisers available, and to have any tools that will aid them in understanding the choices they will have to make. Even the leaders I disagree with. Competence is a nonpartisan value.

On the other hand, advisers are only valuable if their advice is listened to. Past a certain point, one has to cope with the possibility that they aren't actually being called on to advise and inform, but merely to provide a sheen of respectability to whatever the leaders wanted to do in the first place. This is a gradient, not a bright line, but it's still a threshold that can be crossed.

I'd love to be corrected, but I've been paying fairly close attention and I can't think of a single issue, big or small, where this advisory council convinced the president to change his stance. If an advisory body can't do that, then what purpose does it serve?

When you are hiring do you really need to know if your candidate is a man or woman? How about further developing non-face-to-face "blind" (written or mediated?) interview methods where the the hiring decision-maker does not know the gender or race (all he knows is a gender-less detailed operational profile) and only the go-between facilitator who relays the information would know such thing. Part of the process could be handled by an AI with no gender/race in-parameters, etc.

>hypothetical was really close to being real back before the 1970s or so.

Our perceptions differ then because when I drove an old Plymouth without seat belts, I didn't drive it as gingerly as driving a modern car today with a birthday cake in the front seat. A literal steel spike into the heart would make me more cautious than worrying about a birthday cake slamming into the dashboard. The Plymouth's steering column never gave me the feeling of impending death but a literal spike would. I think that sharp point on the end as a constant reminder really matters for the thought experiment.
I should have added a caveat, I actually agree with you and I, too, was skeptical of the fact this has been happening. However, since the FCC released an official document about it I figured it was worth mentioning as a theoretical possibility. I am unaware of many cases where the FCC spread urban legends without getting actual complaints, so people presumably have actually been complaining about this happening to them to the FCC, or at least them believing it's happened to them.

The "can you hear me" call would have to take place AFTER a scammer had already charged your card for a dubious service. They would (probably?) have to have a merchant account with a payment processor for that.
