There sort of are two militaries:

- One we maintain to prove to our potential adversaries that we maintain it, in order to preserve stalemate.

- One we maintain to actually use.

I'm going to venture a guess that a well-functioning defensive military is inherently unstable, as anyone who understands how powerful it is will realize that it never actually has to function.
Yep, I remember multiple smaller art-centric sites getting hit in a wave by an ImageMagick RCE vulnerability. Database dumps, full source leaks, the works. Unsure whether it was the one you linked; it seems more recent than I thought.
that's understandable, since it kicks in fat burning, which is a more oxidative process, there's likely to be more oxidative stress on the cell. Meldronum on the other hand reduces the net oxidation performed by the cell by shifting. Of course, the eye is a very bad medchemist, so take what I say with a grain of salt

It's easy to get stuck "below the sprint" and not have a higher level view. Make sure to always take time to look ahead and see what's coming and make suggestions on ordering. If your team has a backlog meeting then take some time to prepare for it by reviewing the backlog and introducing stories or tasks that may not already be in there.

Pretty much. Think they route through Apex a lot as well.

Interactive Brokers is the only way to go for an intermediate person who wants to speculate and have high-powered tools for a relatively low minimum ($10k I believe, $3k or so for younger people under 25?). They refuse payment on order flow, as does Fidelity, IIRC.

Like I said I'm out of that game (minus small speculation on BTC for currency hedging purposes). I've found the love of index funds and low expense ratios.

Honestly, I like this model a lot, but I think the focus is like 2:1 charity:slackbots, where I'd like to see the reverse. For example, more examples of slackbots you've made, how long it might take you, and maybe throwing in the app store thing unless that's a big deal, so businesses can get the value out of the bot as simply as possible.

Basically, I would recommend focusing on value instead of the charity (despite the fact the charity is the most delightful part -- it's still a price point businesses need to be _sold_ on, not just pitched on).

That is making the assumption that the person using the tool is a surgeon (an expert in the field who could function independently if needed) which is not who the targeted demographic of such tools is. No-one who understands ML to some non-zero extent would use a plug-and-play ML tool, given that there is ML left to do otherwise. A better analogy would be a janitor activating the red button of the robot machine, which then does its complex surgery where if something goes wrong, the janitor would not be able to replace/understand the problem other than trying to restart it/kick it.
same thing with Go as well.

I have noticed here in California the the police always leave their patrol cars running when parked. I was entering a restaurant a saw a patrol car running. I saw the officer inside and asked him why they leave the cars running. I asked him if was to be ready to take off fast.

He laughed and said that there is so much electronics inside that the battery would run down during lunch.

I didn't think to ask why they didn't turn off the electronics. I also didn't ask what they do at the end of the day.

You can do DoXxx() using DoXxxAsync() by calling wait() on the future it returns. No duplicated code necessary.
Not for streaming analytic workloads, because PipelineDB fundamentally adds continuous queries to PostgreSQL, so data is continuously distilled and aggregated as it arrives, before it is stored, which drastically reduces the amount of data stored in PipelineDB (or soon, in PostgreSQL via the extension refactor).

PipelineDB also offers a clustering extension for large workloads (see: http://enterprise.pipelinedb.com/docs/)

But in terms of ad hoc, exploratory analytics workloads, yes - the scaling limitations would be the same, since for ad hoc, exploratory analytics PipelineDB and PostgreSQL are the same. But with that said, the processed, aggregated data that gets stored is generally much smaller than large volumes of granular data, so there is much less data to comb through with PipelineDB.
This is fantastic!

On a positive note, the online services provided by a government agency are pretty good.

When I received a bill from the tax office I was able to go online and create a payment plan without human intervention.

There is also a portal that links multiple government services (Australian Tax Office, Medicare...) to enable access to multiple services.

A few weeks later, I also got a call from the tax office surveying about my experience.

Overall, my experience was great. (except for forking out money part :)
If you measure it less, you'll have a weaker argument for how the education system is doing!

Your comment is precisely the problem: objective metrics will always support their proponents' arguments for more measurement, while any upsides to a lessened objective grading will be difficult to show because they'll involve subjective assessment or less assessment.

Do not confuse the investigator's convenience in accessing a truth value for the truth value itself.
The FBI basically did this where they amassed hearsay about the important people in groups they didn't like then mailed anonymous letters to their partners, friends, family, etc. The term you should Google is "cointelpro".

IIRC recently there was a city in CA that mailed everyone who drove down a certain street a letter in an obvious colored envelope saying "Dear, Whoever, consider yourself informed that prostitutes go here, kthanksbye". This is a public road that people drive down to get from A to B.

Most ballistic missile defense (BMD) currently deployed is designed for a shootdown in the terminal phase, ie after the missile has reentered the atmosphere. Destroying a missile in the boost phase, before it leaves the atmosphere, is the best bet, but that requires advanced intelligence of when and where a launch will happen. If I recall correctly, there's currently no good midcourse BMD for when the missile is out of the atmosphere. Aegis has some midcourse capability, but it's for lower and shorter range missiles, I think. That just leaves terminal defense, like THAAD and the Aegis system, and terminal defense is the hardest phase. So there's no real good option to shoot it down, especially if it turns out your interceptor has a low probability of kill (pk). If a missile was actually coming down into Japan, you can be sure that there will be several interceptors on their way.

As for tech, Japan mostly uses the same tech as the US, including THAAD, which is a ground-based radar and launcher, the Aegis system with the Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) which is a ship-based radar and launcher, and finally the Patriot system of ground-based radar and launcher. However, the Patriot's PAC-2 and -3 missiles are designed for missiles with a shorter range than ICBMs. All of them have data-sharing, so you can use an Aegis radar to track a missile for a THAAD battery to launch.

If you try to shoot a North Korean missile and miss, then either morale goes out the window if it was an NK test, or you have to fall back on the next line of defense (Aegis -> THAAD -> Patriot) and hope that it hits. The further the ICBM goes though, the lower pk you have since it's going faster and potentially has better maneuverability.

Flying over open water is one thing. The missiles flew straight over populated land.
Peoples' definition of "reasonable price" in my area is effectively a price at which the restaurants have to either sell at a loss or lower their quality. I can't believe how many reviews I see where people call a restaurant overpriced because they can make the same dish cheaper at home. Any restaurant who sells you a meal for the same cost you could make it at home is going to be out of business very quickly.
Fair points. I was being a bit hypercritical. It all depends on what you negotiate up-front.
Getting something on an app store is publishing, not quite the same as writing it which is all he's offered. If you're publishing the bot you'll also need continued support and development, something nobody would throw in for a flat 5k.

As someone who was a mechanic in the Army, I feel that checklists more often helped then harmed. Many mechanical problems we saw in the shop were easily attributable to an operator skipping a step on their PMCS. Doing something relatively dangerous or confusing could be error prone, especially for people who haven't done it much, and a checklist can help ensure the safety of everyone in the shop. A good example is running an engine indoors. Before you did it, there were a serious of steps you had to walk through before you turned it on, that reduced people getting sick from carbon monoxide quite a bit.
Aircraft have more mechanical failures then hijacking attempts. The labor savings are not significant enough to warrant autonomous passenger/cargo jets.

> In the meantime, it seems unlikely that we'll see mass unemployment of pilots. Mandatory retirement will see 42% of US pilots retire in the next ten years. If anything, this shortfall will push the automation case forward faster than ever.

This is a misnomer. There is no pilot shortage. Next time you fly a commuter flight, ask your pilot how much they make (it's about $20k-50k/year). There are an overwhelming number of available pilots in the training pipeline.

Just as with truck drivers, its not a labor cost problem. Its a corporate disdain for cutting into profit margins.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-08-17/-smokey-a...

"The annualized driver turnover rate at large truckload fleets was 74 percent in the first quarter and the industry was short about 48,000 drivers at the end of 2015. That shortage is expected to balloon to almost 175,000 by 2024, according to the American Trucking Associations."

"Raising salaries is another option, but it would cut into profit margins. The University of Pennsylvania’s Viscelli said companies would have to double driver pay -- now about $41,000 -- to reduce turnover. About 30 percent of new drivers quit in the first three months, according to Stay Metrics."

Being understaffed really limits your ability to do stuff, and it also sucks for the people you do have. (Source: I live this every day of my working life.) Also, by the time you're in this spot you should have hired already, and digging your way out will be so costly in terms of forfeited opportunity and the strain on existing employees when spinning up new ones. While on the other hand, if you don't grow your customer base you're gonna go out of business anyway.

It's very easy to look at a going concern from the outside and say "what are all those people doing?!" The definition of bloat is not "things I didn't think a company would have to deal with because I don't work there".
How is this better than the list at http://sectools.org/ ?

I think that depends on what you mean by good and computer. You might, for example, want something that costs on the same order of magnitude as an Intel or AMD x86_64-bit cpu. Afaik the answer to that question then becomes no.

I'm going to have to disagree with the conclusion that 'self flying aircraft may be well ahead' of self driving cars. I think automation of cars is a necessary precursor to automation of air travel.

Many people have issues flying due the feeling of not being in control; I expect we will first need the automation of cars to acclimatise people to the concept of trusting in an AI driver/pilot, before automated flights will be accepted.

Cargo flights strike me as the much clearer entry point for the technology.
> That's so creepy someone might actually do it!

It's only creepy if it's done on a targeted, individual basis, which it won't be.

As it is - in many countries you legally have no expectation of privacy in a public place, so I have no problem with en-masse ANPR. If the police eventually develops a very dense sensor network that can track every car's movement across every intersection then there would be too much information recorded for me to personally worry about it - and I still believe it would help with crime in general. The usual reactionary bullet-points based around the usual bogey-men of terrorists and child-abduction are weak and I think distract from more meaningful and impactful, but sedate arguments: e.g. it would reduce the need for inherently-dangerous hot pursuits to follow a vehicle as the cameras would do that anyway. Uninsured vehicles could be identified immediately before they get stopped for a broken taillight or involved in a collision. And cynically: APR systems could be used to compute a car's average-speed between points to determine if the car broke the speed limit).

I don't feel mass ANPR is comparable to other bulk-surveillance schemes like Internet snooping, because I believe that we do have an expectation of privacy regarding what goes through our home connections, and acting on Internet surveillance is inherently subjective - whereas ANPR can indicate if a car is known to be stolen or uninsured, that's not something that's open to interpretation.

I've seen it pointed out that it's an odd choice to use the most well-known example of parallel work in the world as an icon of non-parallelizable work.

Population size responds to circumstances almost immediately because birth is so well parallelized. You can have any number of women produce one baby each all in the same 40-week period. If you put any significant number of women on the problem, you'll get noticeably more than one baby each. And you can increase the litter size pretty dramatically beyond that -- how many months did it take Octomom to produce one baby?

I really appreciate the feedback hawkice. Totally get that. Will do that for the follow around. To answer some of your questions:

* I made the bot for my startup [0]. It supports interactive messages (buttons, dropdowns), slash commands, and @ commands. Put another way, I use (and have knowledge of) pretty much all parts of the Slack API.

* You're getting a backend with the bot. This backend could just save stuff into a database or do more sophisticated things.

* I'm happy to work with the non-profit, ScriptEd, on some content marketing material so that the person or company that sponsors this gets public recognition.

* Timing - I'm doing this in tandem with other things. Obviously depends on what I get but let's say roughly 2 months.

* We're pretty close to getting our startup's app in the app store. I'm happy to help with this process now that I'm more familiar with it.

Apple to Hold Product Launch Event on Sept. 12
> A single data point is still a data point and this is still science.

Both presenters are enthusiastic and engaging, undeniably. And yes, this is a data point.

But this isn't science.

Partly because they claim they've 'proved it because we eliminated variables' (3'57"), when they clearly haven't.

Partly because one of the basic tenets of science is repeatability. As I noted above, there's a 1 in 4 chance of getting this result if you assume equal probabilities of clockwise / counter-clockwise. That assumption should be the starting point of any experiment around this effect.

Food colouring should have been put in - for some of the repeated experiments at least - before the valve was open, to confirm the water was in fact still motionless. (Or to show that it wasn't.)

Similarly that little match-stick cross on one of the pools - those should have been present on both pools, probably several of them, spread around the surface (though surface motion is not necessarily indicative of sub-surface movements).

I could go on.
Developing a mechanical way of doing this from scratch is much more efficient than developing the entire stack of technology abstraction layers (from transistors to CPUs to computer engineering to LEDs to OSes to programming languages and runtimes, etc.) to achieve this digitally.

Some spinning weals, gears, and springs are much much much more efficient!
