Absolutely. The most useful idea I've seen about how to think about this is this: 'On a network, everything is at zero distance'.

So, imagine the worst people you can imagine in the whole world, sitting right there in the same room as all the things you care about. You'd probably be worried about that, right?

But, the argument goes, we have all these security measures in place between those things. They're not in the same room we've built all these walls! Sure, but those walls are not impenetrable by a long shot. None of them beats simply not being in the same place. Nobody has a teleporter yet, but those layers of security you are relying on are vulnerable to a constantly evolving landscape of exploits, vulnerabilities and plain old fuck-ups.

This is why air gaps are still such a valuable concept. Why off-siting your backup tapes is not an outdated step but rather a pragmatic step in securing your information assets. Why keeping some systems unplugged from any network when they're running critical infrastructure is sensible. Why buring your bitcoin wallet in some secret location is not the behaviour of an off-the-wall tinfoil nutter.

There are, of course, steps to be taken if you have compelling reasons to stay connected, and those steps can get you to (or close to) the same level of assurance as unplugging. But those steps are complex, require ongoing maintenance, and operate in an evolving threat landscape. Think for example: Encryption protocols that we used to consider secure.

There's a simple bypass for that effort and knowledge and it's to unplug. It's a very powerful tool, and yet often ridiculed, in my opinion from positions of either ignorance or zealotry.
I got that notion from the grandparent comment characterization of tech.

"You probably build websites and think your shit is special. You think your 13 megabyte parallax-ative home page is going to get you some fucking Awwward banner you can glue to the top corner of your site. You think your 40-pound jQuery file and 83 polyfills give IE7 a boner because it finally has box-shadow. Wrong, motherfucker. Let me describe your perfect-ass website:"
No, it is a valid point.

Take Germany for example: In the neighbouring country Switzerland you can easily earn twice as much and the higher living costs only cancel out a part of the difference. >80% of Germans would have the money to move and would be much better off and still only very few do it (<2%).

Same with all the unemployment in Spain, people could move to e.g. Germany in masses but they don't.

People just don't like change and are not the rational players everyone wants them to be.
It's close enough that undetected/unreported murders could tip the scales. If you get away with making it look like an accident, isn't in the statistic of unsolved murders.
This is just one part pseudoscience, one part nonsequitor. There's zero accepted nutritional scientific evidence that plant protein cannot completely adequately replace meat sources. Yes, of course someone who literally just eats soy burgers will experience some nutrient deficiency, but so would someone who just ate real burgers (plus the extra cholesterol and fats!). Millions of people completely replace meat with processed plant protein, with no evidence for any ill-effect. There is nothing inherently wrong with processing a food source, and to suggest such is nothing more than marketing quackery.

It is extremely frustrating gow you spread confusion and conflate concepts that have nothing to do with each other, with the end result being that all you accomplish is to spread propaganda about efforts that will literally save the planet from environmentally destructive, excessive meat production.
Hell, no. I know I've been lucky.

I also know that while I was lucky, I wouldn't have been in a position to be lucky if I hadn't made some good decisions. I didn't just sit back and wait to be lucky.

The way to maximize the role of luck in your life is to behave like luck has no role in your life.
I now expect to go to Whole Foods and get upsold on a washing machine at the check-out counter...

All joking aside, I wonder if they will keep Whole Foods focused on food, or if that will be the doorway to brick-and-mortar retail—i.e. same day pickup services and the like.

It's also important to note nuclear refers to the atomic nucleus and not a nuclear reaction.
I think you are crazily optimistic about both the FDA and the ability to see any significant health effects from fake meat. Even my vegan friends have only been eating it for about a decade, and that doesn't strike me as enough time for e.g. discerning whether it is carcinogenic.

Among other things, sodium nitrate (included in the above description of fake meat) is, by itself, known to be more carcinogenic than red meat itself. But you don't see the FDA ensuring new foods don't use it.
AMP is mostly a series of guidelines. https://www.ampproject.org/learn/about-how/ If your site follows the guidelines, it will be fast. If you also voluntarily add a bit of JS to your page, Google (and other sites, but mostly Google) will cache your article and deliver it from their own CDN instead of loading it from your site. They won't interfere with your ads if you have them set up right. The trouble is that the URL is now a Google URL and Google puts links to more Google pages at the top of the interface instead of other links to your articles.

So, instead of actually using AMP, you could just follow the AMP guidelines and get most of the speed benefits with almost no downsides. But Google started prioritizing AMP pages in search results, so now there's a downside either way.

Wait until GCP becomes older with bigquery and other versions. Also GCP does not have regions ready and it takes forever to get a new region. Waiting for Mumbai region for more than 3 to 4 months now.

But one thing i like about GCP is that it allows to the limit setting in terms of cost and ensure you wont cross it. In case of AWS it can give alerts but for some reason say all you team in in one location and there is emergency like flood etc and you dont check email then you are done. I stopped using AWS after i learned that there is simply no way to set limit. Waiting for GCP to open their Mumbai region. sigh.

Also AWS is very deceiving with free tier , there is simply no way to understand which products get free and worst case is after free tier you will get charged.
What? There's nothing racist/sexist about acknowledging that racism/sexism isn't as much of a problem for certain groups of people. And I'm pretty far from being an SJW. Being this disingenuous does nothing but weaken your side's argument.
> But haven't you seen the level of vitriol that comes up every time AMP is discussed?

Mostly on HN. And it's clear from this thread that a lot of vitriol comes from deeply ideological positions rather than real technical reasons. That won't be fixed by adding an opt-out.

Resubmitting each day from a different account will make the mods ban your accounts/site/language.

Try writing an interesting post about the language. How did you solve a technical problem, a design decision, benchmarks.
I don't disagree with you, but it's also true that you don't have to go all-in. I run services that run server-ful-ly on EC2, while requests to the "front-end" are handled by Lambda. If you've got one or two very hot endpoints and the majority of your server load spike is thanks to the processing for those endpoints, moving just those endpoints to Lambda could give you reassurance that you don't have all of your eggs in one basket (not having to go full-serverless) while also getting the benefit of being able to scale up and down essentially effortlessly.

Of course, there are lots of other consideration that you should be making when going even partially serverless, and it could be that the NYT chose not to experiment with Lambda for other reasons. For instance, you're effectively tied to CloudWatch for logging and monitoring, which could be a deal-breaker. Much of the processing could be happening in the DB, which would make Lambda moot. It may simply be that their estimated usage of Lambda was too costly.
> Seeing the articles and discussions crop up on a daily basis are making me wonder if we are headed for an AI Winter scenario in this area within the next decade or if this is the real deal and we will see self-driving cars at dealerships within 20 years.

It will be either one of those two, if it doesn't happen in the next 20 years I would bet against it happening at all until AGI is a reality, assuming it will ever happen in the first place.

But if it is possible with an incremental change to present day technology I fully expect it to happen and likely a lot faster than those 20 years. The economic incentives are too large to ignore and there are many players wealthy enough to finance such an incremental step.
What makes you think slaughter houses were needed? That just made things more "efficient". Humans and our ancestors have been eating meat since we have been a species.

Normally this is done with "tabular numbers", an alternate set of glyphs in the font where all digit glyphs is equally wide. However, another feature a font can provide is "proportional numbers"—the inverse of tabular numbers. Most fonts usually provide one or the other. Roboto for instance provides "proportional numbers" as an option, and uses tabular numbers by default. Interface by contrast uses proportional numbers by default, and the plan is to add tabular numbers as a feature that you opt in to for the scenarios you point out (e.g. tables.) In CSS you'd opt-in to tabular numbers with: `font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums`
If that is the case then something is out of whack.

I'm very excited about the potential for extracting voxel specific or procedural generated 3D objects from a low number of 2D images - primarily with a combination of Semantic Segmentation and some form of MVS. The results of papers like this and other similar ones are great progress.
In Stanford's case, that's exactly what's going on.
Dude, come on. Pointing out that racism and sexism has made things harder for people that aren't white and male is not the same thing as being racist and sexist yourself.

I know you are smart enough to be able to appreciate this difference, so stop being disingenuous.
Ok, let's just avoid that issue. We've changed the title above to the factual statement of the subtitle.
Ah, but you are assuming Stanford's core business is, in fact, teaching.

Is the bridge mapped on OpenStreetMap?

In the case that it is, there could be some data error that breaks routing across it.
That works great until a machine starts failing health checks and you need to take it out of rotation ASAP. It's also the case that DNS gets cached and not all users create the same load: one user making many requests will burden one server instead of having the load evenly distributed.
The point I was making is that the cost of an education is uncoupled (at elite universities) from the ability to afford it.

It may be hopelessly optimistic, but I think that eventually, tuition will and should be eliminated for everyone.. As it stands now, where students from wealthier families pay more, it is a good consolation prize.
No question. But anti-title-hyperbole isn't great for substantive discussion either. We've changed the title to get rid of the baity bit.
It doesn't, it just forces you to display the pages through Google, stripping everything else, which is much easier to implement than recognizing if a web page's heft is because of legitimate content or ads.

Because they also give you a sign bonus in two parts, a lump sum for the first year, and the second year it is divided between the 12 paychecks. After two years, both the bonus and relocation have vested.
They don't have to simulate one, merely reliably detect one and then refuse to drive. One of the most important lessons drilled into new drivers is that the best way to avoid accidents is to know when not to drive, self driving cars should not be an exception to that rule. If you are going to attempt to drive in hurricane you are essentially committing suicide, your best cause of action is to find a safe place to weather the storm. And if you really want to drive a self driving car might give you the option to override the safeties but those should only be used in actual emergencies, not just to putter around in really bad and possibly dangerous weather.

The same goes for dense fog, flooding and other situations where normal driving is no longer possible and/or responsible.

AWS doesn't add a new region every 3-4 months either. Adding a new region is very complicated. Normally vendor does not actually build the DC themselves. They would source from other data centers in the region whenever possible. Building a new DC is not something can be taken lightly. Then finally local laws.
This is why you won't make it as a politician, sadly.

> Universities fear that if they were to stamp their feet and refuse to supply these amenities in the name of keeping down tuition, matriculation rates would decline as students would seek greener pastures elsewhere.

I find this so fascinating. In a normal market, demand is driven by differentiating factors, and I imagine paying for a reduced set of services could be wildly popular. I certainly never took advantage of most of the services I paid for in college—I was too busy with school.

Meanwhile, schools appear to be in the race for positioning schools as anything but a place to get a degree.... which is the entire role of college in society today.

I would quit my job and finish my degree tomorrow if there was a "no bullshit, we'll just get you your degree as fast as possible" option. But all I see are residency requirements, tuition that appears to be at least an order of magnitude more than what my professors cumulatively make from teaching me, etc etc. Very disheartening to someone who loves the culture of academia.

And don't forget, they STILL make you buy textbooks and allow the profs to pocket the profits.
Some fairly intelligent folks have had, or continue to have this viewpoint. As an example, I was extremely delighted to meet Chris Dixon, whom I still consider to be rather intelligent and diligent fellow. When we met, in 2013, he was all about Bitcoin and the blockchain so I tried to engage him in conversation about it. The first thing I asked was what he thought about the fact that it was being used for some fairly nefarious things, but was not, in fact, anonymous.

He was convinced it was anonymous. I attempted to bring up some points to convince him otherwise but found it to be a rather short conversation.

So, you may be as surprised as I was that it's relatively uncommon knowledge, even for intelligent and diligent technical folks, that Bitcoin != anonymous.
Read the paper. This isn't what is being covered here.
So what difference would it make? After all, this is the result after AMP has done all its cleaning, which would give you a pretty accurate measure for page weight. What remains is the actual content of the page. It's the cruft that should be penalized, not the actual content.
Wow, this guy is a hustler. I just got to the part of the article describing his entry into producing porn. Apparently, he mass-produced the VHS tapes using thousands of household video recorders, then used a clever pricing model ("here's 100 tapes, pay me only for what you sell") to get into video stores. The next bit really impressed me:

"The next big idea was a cash register Kameyama developed that looked like a tablet computer. He gave it to customers for free, in exchange for their sales records -- data that made him better than anyone at tracking the preferences of Japan’s porn consumers."
There's nothing remotely object-oriented about what I wrote. I don't see any inheritance. I don't see any polymorphism. I don't see any virtual member functions.

And of course I'm using RAII to roll back the transaction. When the object is destroyed the vector is destroyed and the transaction isn't run.

It doesn't make any sense at all, quite frankly, to use RAII to do what you wrote there. That's not what RAII is for, nor is it what RAII is good at. RAII is for managing resources.
I know a lot of poor white dudes in West Virginia. Amazing how being white and male brought them luck and overrode all forms of class discrimination against them...

Oh wait, no it didn't.

Funny how I can dress in a hoodie, fake a pimp walk, and get an equal amount of discrimination against me.

Or put in some fake teeth and speak with a southern accent.

Or just be myself and experience discrimination when in a poorer neighborhood.

Its mostly about class nowadays, except in isolated bumfuck areas way out of the cities.

Having also worked in higher ed for quite a long time (I've been out since 2004) I always quipped that young people really just want "lifestyle camps" or "lifestyle towns" where they can have the experience they want without all the pesky classes and studying getting in the way. Go there for a couple years, party down, then maybe move on in life. It would save a lot of people a lot of hardship and pain.

Where were you born? Was it in a war-torn or poverty-stricken third world circumstance? Were your parents emotionally or physically abusive to you? Were you born with mostly normal cognitive function? Without any significant physical handicap?

I.e. even though you made some good decisions, you were still lucky to be born/raised in an environment and with a body that enabled you to make those good decisions.

I agree with your last sentence.

Many people buy Nike shoes to go up in value. Nike Inc. purposefully limits the quantity.

Are Nike shoes therefore securities? It is an open ended question and yes where we are in this country a future court could rope something like that in too before Congress gets around to forcing regulatory clarity.

Tokens can be products. It is what you sell them for and how you sell them and how you interact with that market, and how others interact with that market, that determines if something is a security. But is isn't a single one of those factors in isolation that makes it a security.
You also are smart enough to understand that socioeconomic disadvantages are orthogonal to racism and sexism and that your 'poor white dudes' would have an even harder time of things if they were, say, black women.

> he helped people become wary of lotteries and showed them beyond a shadow of doubt that they could be rigged

Yap, I was kind of hinting at that. What you said is a valid way to look at it.

> It's fine to gamble as long as the beneficiary is the state, never mind that on average only the lottery organizer gets ahead.

It's part of preying on the poor. Same with payday loans, and alcohol sales. Having lived in poor parts of town it's common to see all 3 being marketed and pushed heavily in those areas. They might claim they don't want to regulate payday loans because "free markets" whatnot, but state lotteries directly controlled by the government. The pretense they use is that proceeds pay for "education". Except even if it is true, then what happens is that education funds get reduced and used for something else because there are these "lottery funds" coming in. So somehow kids getting scholarships or teachers better salaries doesn't usually pan out as expected.
Look at how much gets taken out of a grant for "overhead," too! Stunning.
Unfortunately regardless of what you wish, people do not weigh the risks. They have knee jerk reactions to terms like 'nuclear reactor'. It's human nature and shouldn't be ignored. Is it more important that it have an accurate name or that it's accepted by the public?
