The game has changed. There are people with intolerant and twisted views trying to manipulate the naive herd of sheep who blindly follows whatever people like on Facebook.

Knowing the tactics of people behind fake news, it's good that Facebook is responding accordingly to punish and get rid of bad actors on their platform.

It's once again showing that we can't have pure anarcho decentralization. It would be a haven for bad actors that goes unpunished.

We can absolutely set definition for what is bad and what isn't bad. What is clearly bad is writing fake news about certain group of ethnic group you hate and manipulating others into believing your twisted idiosyncratic views about Jews, Hindus and Moors.

Process of doing which part? An OpenFaaS backend?
I'm curious what makes this superior to Beanshell. Or any other style of REPL that you could do on the JVM.

Not against the idea, per se, but it seems hardly new ground. And unlikely to be nearly as powerful as a REPL in CL. (Though, again, few things are. Not sure that any are, to be honest.)
Just to power users? I keep getting suggestions to finish viewing last 1-2 minutes of each episode - the end credits that I previously skipped using big "start next episode" button.

I've been learning 65c816 assembly for SNES programming and I've wanted a tool much like this.

>Driver salary is 52% of the cost of a taxi.

If you drop the utilization, the cost of the driver as a percentage probably goes up a bit. But here's the thing about those numbers.

Yes, driver salary is a big chunk of taxi cost but flip things around. It's only about half the cost. In other words, there's this widespread assumption that autonomy totally changes the nature of automobiles and automobile ownership even though it only cuts the cost in half.

Ask yourself. If you own a car today, would getting a 50% discount on taxi rides completely change your behavior. Maybe it would for some at the margins but only at the margins.
No problem - you also may want to think about serving your site over HTTPS, people care a lot more about that nowadays.
>can run a complete blood-cell count

I'm not a biologist but getting a "count" seems way easier and more realistic than Theranos' claims of reliably detecting diabetes, heart disease, cancer from a single prick of blood. Therefore, I'm not surprised that Sequoia backed them even though Theranos may have poisoned the well for other bio-tech startups.
That's a surprisingly refreshing position. Even as someone who isn't a huge fan of systemd, I can agree with you.

You're basing that on some outdated stereotypes.

Lots of preppers do it because they want to be able to help their community in a crisis. They also actively work to prevent the disasters from happening in the first place. Being prepared in case they do is just a smart hedge.

Here are two quotes from one of our posts about why people prep:

Debbie W. from Liberal Preppers says, “I want to develop — and share — skills that are useful to the community at large, that increase the likelihood of the community as a whole prospering in adversity.”

Kevin R. told us that he believes “the movement is expanding from the traditional stereotypical prepper to non-white, non-cisgendered people taking more responsibility for their self sufficiency, taking control of their lives, learning skills and obtaining tools to take care of neighbors as well as their immediate family.”

Can any pilot practicing BASE Jumping leap off a cliff or do you somehow train for this?

Technically, all that's needed is money to buy a wingsuit and a parachute, and a cliff. Without training, they might manage to get the wingsuit operating properly for some of the flight, but I wouldn't want to see the odds of a successful landing.

The general training arc would be to learn wingsuiting from an aircraft (like a regular skydive), and build up hours/experience flying a wingsuit in clear air (and deploying a parachute several thousand feet above the ground), before going into wingsuit base jumping (and build up experience there before going into prox).

There's some more detail in this Quora answer: https://www.quora.com/What-does-it-take-to-become-a-wingsuit...
I've been a paraglider for a long time and have observed this pattern so many times. When we have a brush with death or lose a friend, we go flying ASAP and confront the fear immediately. You invest far too much effort and risk into fear management, to lose ground over a setback. If we really prioritized survival for its own sake, we just wouldn't fly.

Staying too long. If your goal is to grow in responsibility, title and compensation, the most important thing is to have a boss that has the inclination and authority to develop your career and promote you, when appropriate. If you don't have that, you need to make a move.
Not knowing anything about you, I'll assume that

- you are starting with the equivalent of a high school level of maths

- you want to take a ML course or read an ML book without feeling totally lost

As some commenters have said, Calculus, Probability and Linear Algebra will be very helpful.

Some people like to recommend the "best" or "most important" books which you "should" read, but there is a strong chance these will end up sitting on a bookshelf, barely touched.
So I will recommend some books which are perhaps more accessible.

- Linear Algebra by Gilbert Strang

For Probability: I don't have any favourites, sorry.

> There is a reason why you are not allowed to do wiring and a lot of electronics in your house by yourself.

I've found that a few people here really don't understand some industries; yet are adamant about their opinions on said industries.

A few weeks back I was just in an argument with someone (may have been another account, though) about high-voltage lines in the US used for dryers, and how "magically converting a 120V line" (paraphrasing) to 240V was just super dangerous and a death sentence. Point is, arguer had no knowledge of two phased 120V lines in US electricity and combining the two was sure to burn a house down. But they sure did have an argument.

FWIW, this form is so much more argumentative than others online about other topics not understood. I think that's part of the IT/techy/hacker culture.
FaaS/serverless is very similar to CGI. When talking to new adopters, I describe serverless cynically as an incredibly resource-wasteful rediscovery of CGI using VMs instead of processes; I describe it charitably as a very flexible CGI in which you don't have to think nearly as much about your physical hardware (that runs your webservers) or your platform code (webservers and frameworks, e.g. httpd/wsgi, that need to be configured to provide the right CGI containers/layers) in order to scale.

CGI is a very powerful concept whose initial adoption was hindered primarily by a lack of standardization of API interchange formats. It's experiencing a resurgence now, I think, because we've gotten a lot better at API-first design, and also because orchestration layers have gotten a lot better.

I feel similarly about Docker/containers: they're basically the rediscovery of static linking, made more popular than it was initially due to the present-day abundance of disk resources and the presence of really easy-to-use-at-scale deployment platforms.

Note that I'm not equating static linking/containerization with CGI/serverless in quality. CGI was pretty much universally an improvement over its predecessor. Static linking has and had many flaws, as the Docker crowd is discovering as container-based shops shift into "who built this crazy Dockerfile anyway, and why did they hand-select an ancient version of OpenSSL?!?!" maintenance mode, and ops folks get surprised by the disk, memory, and startup time costs of legacy containerized microservices that turn out (long after their creators move on) to not be so "micro" after all.

What's old is new again; the good and the bad.

Unless you are binding to a limited set of runtimes (i.e. Node and Python in the way Kubeless currently does) then you do need to find a common "language" or "protocol" to speak to functions. STDIN/STDOUT appears to work quite well.
If you were applying for a security clearance and the government discovered you had massive amounts of debt and lots of questionable history that's ripe for blackmail, you would likely be denied. That's because those things could be used as leverage against you to make you act immorally.

There are a lot of road design features that come from the fact that humans do make certain mistakes consistently. For example, the US's love affair with four-way stops comes from drivers' inability to safely navigate uncontrolled intersections, even when there's no particular reason they couldn't. Stoplights usually have a delay between the red light for one direction and the green light for the next direction because driver's often run fresh reds, or get stuck in the intersection and need to clear out. There are tons of warning signs because drivers can't be trusted to notice something as simple as a sharp curve coming up.

Of course, the road system is designed for humans' foibles, not computers' foibles, and computers will have to deal with that. But the bar is low.

Computers aren't really as consistent as you say, either. Obviously, a deterministic machine will produce the same outputs for the same inputs. But when your inputs are camera data from the real world, you'll never get the same input twice. For example, my car sometimes misreads or fails to read speed limit signs, but it'll usually read the exact same sign perfectly fine the next time I go past.
Isn't consulting still working on the how and not the why, just a different way to be paid?
I don't find my job to be a tedious grind at all. I enjoy working as part of a team (specifically my current one) and helping to make everyone around me and the business successful.

I have had to shift around the day-to-day tasks I work on occasionally, but finding and working on high leverage parts of our technology and business is pretty rewarding.
Broad statistical tests are good enough for most all non-crypto RNGs - once you pass DieHarder you're probably good enough for practially all common RNG uses.

Breaking crypto RNGs is a subtle enough art that having a standardized set of tests wouldn't actually prove anything useful - it would be like saying "We tried every key in our collection on this new padlock and none of them worked, therefore the padlock is secure."

Fairly good reasons for passenger transport, actually. Transport authorities are reporting safer and smoother (which directly translates to "cheaper", both in power savings from optimal profile and in fewer scheduling delays) operation. For heavy cargo without a highly regular, high turnaround schedule, not so much: too many potential operating profiles.

This is the real issue. Sure, there's the whole thing about it being a slippery slope to straight up shadow banning or otherwise censoring users deemed as "purveyors of fake news", but that's further down the road.

That isn't the problem you posed. Now there is no maneuver that can save the pedestrian, for any driver.

But for the most part, if there is low visibility and pedestrian proximity, 30 MPH is too fast. The streets here don't have much obstructing visibility other than parked cars, there are good sidewalks set well back from the streets and the speed limit is still 25 MPH.

> For example, the lab manager study that's quoted was for a lab manager in psychology.

Actually it wasn't. Quote, "A broad, nationwide sample of biology, chemistry, and physics professors (n = 127) evaluated the application materials of an undergraduate science student who had ostensibly applied for a science laboratory manager position."

> Which actually has greater female than male representation. Minor detail.

It is a minor detail, even if the study really were about psychology lab assistants, which it isn't, because the hypothesis isn't about total participation but about bias. Participation numbers alone don't tell you about bias. That's like Tucker Carlson, who recently asked how NFL owners can be racist if 70% of their players are black.

> Facts. Matter.

But George Washington was the first president of the United States! Facts. Matter. Only, it's kind of hard to see how they matter unless you understand the issue you're commenting on and the hypothesis those facts ostensibly support. You seem to be under the impression that the problem is simply the number of women in various arbitrary professions. I understand how someone would come to that conclusion if they only read headlines. It isn't the issue, however, it isn't the hypothesis, and therefore you'll keep bringing up facts that don't really matter for the subject that's actually discussed, rather than the one you think is being discussed. This is because you don't really care about what the issue is; you just decided it was wrong based on some gut feeling you may have.
> If you don't like that, you're going to hate the physical realm, where anyone can make any claim and you're left with nothing but your wits to discern the truth

So you're saying that we should let these organizations lie as much as they want, because people lie in your day-to-day life? The people you meet in your day-to-day life and lie to your face are much more limited in the number of people they can influence with lies.

Why shouldn't we make enormously more powerful institutions more accountable for lies?
for now. people are unsettled because this is a classic slippery slope situation, or it has the potential to be anyway.

When Zuckerberg officially starts his presidential campaign, the criteria for "true" news will be: News that shows Zuckerberg in a positive light.
Musk made comments about traveling at up to 800mph in this 0.8 mile tube.

At constant acceleration, you'd have to have about 10 gees (each way) to reach this speed in that short tunnel:

sqrt(2 * acceleration * distance) = speed

sqrt(2 * 100m/s^2 * 0.4mi)=358m/s = 800mph

https://www.google.com/search?q=sqrt(2*100m/s^2*0.4mi)

To accelerate at 100m/s^2 at the end when you're at 358m/s requires about 35.8kW/kg, which is /insane/. You'd need some sort of active cooling to get that to work. (Water flashed to vapor? Liquid nitrogen?)

So you'd probably have a really high acceleration at first (as fast as the sled could handle, maybe 100g?) and really hard deceleration at the end in order to reduce required electric motor specific power. Might be tough to do all that with a single motor, so you probably need either gearing or a two-stage design, with a larger low-speed, extreme acceleration stage pushing a lighter high speed moderate acceleration stage. I don't know if two stage designs are allowed, but it'd certainly help in this competition.
I'm not sure exactly what you mean by senior, but my title says I'm senior (6 years exp, 3 in this job). I would say I'm beyond reasonably happy. I found a good company with senior management I can believe in and co-workers who are strong technically and easy to work with. Although the industry, advertising, is no one's favorite, our mission is to make it suck less while supporting people who create real journalistic value which I can get behind.
Maybe I have been taking the wrong trains (in Germany), but 200 mph (321 km/h) seems plenty fast to me.

That's higher than the maximum speed of most of Deutsche Bahn's high-speed trains: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intercity-Express

Even those that can go faster than 300 km/h tend to do so only on very short legs, because they need long straight stretches to stay on track and have to accelerate/decelerate at the ends as well.

Yeah, no. The reasons that those other systems failed has nothing to do with this particular issue. People will still be able to share their bullshit to like minded people to their hearts' content, which is how the vast majority of information gets shared through facebook. All facebook is saying is that they will not take money from these bullshit mills.

The vast majority of people couldn't care less about whether Breitbart gets to advertise on facebook. They aren't going to uproot their presence there to make a political point, either. Most of the people on the site who hold those views are 50+ year olds who want to see photos of their grandchildren. They can still get all the nonsense they want by watching Fox News in the evening, which is their preferred method anyway.
good luck with that. those fake ads make Facebook money.
Yeah, I agree with most of what you say, though I disagree about needing your own AS; we've never had one and almost none of our clients have one.

Nonetheless, there's a lot of pressure toward using the big providers, and that's dangerous, IMHO. Also, the mail client landscape isn't great (lots of people are working on it, including my company, but a great Open Source webmail client comparable to GMail does not yet exist...and, the mobile client situation is probably even worse than the state of webmail).

Nonetheless, we have never outsourced our mail, and we deliver several thousand emails a day (forum and tracker notifications, mostly, but also expiration notices and billing failure notices) to thousands of different domains from our own MTAs. We are on static IPs in a colocation provider on our own physical server. We lived on the same IP for about five years and then moved to a new one a couple of years ago (same colocation). We only had one deliverability problem on the fresh IP, which was with Hotmail/Outlook, who seem to block every IP by default and you have to ask to be unblocked. But, once we jumped through their hoops we've never had deliverability problems since.

We may be dealing with less troublesome recipients. Our users are mostly Linux/UNIX users at small-ish companies. They probably care about people being able to send them mail reliably more than maybe bigger companies with layers of security theater to deal with.

I like the idea of a bounce forwarding MTA. That's actually a pretty brilliant approach to the problem; having something like Sendgrid or Mailjet or whatever as the backup would be a pretty neat thing (and for such a low volume of mail it'd be cheap or free for the small companies we deal with). Briefly googling didn't really turn up anything about that approach to bounces (googling anything related to bounces is tough because it can be about backscatter, my mail bouncing, my mail server bouncing incoming mail, delivery of bounces, etc.).

It's already possible to detect bounces in Postfix, but I dunno how one would turn the bounce message (which are infinitely varied in their contents) into a forward for the original email. Maybe just instant rejections would be handleable in such a case. That'd be a reasonable start on the problem.

And, in the case of email, corporate policy sucks because abuse sucks (and people are dumb about security practices). Because somebody is gonna click on that virus attachment if it finds its way through, IT is expected to act like the TSA and engage in all manner of security theater to prevent it, at any cost.

If anyone wants an example of this, look at the coverage of the crowd size at Trump's inauguration. That's still held up as the canonical example of the Trump administration's "alternative facts" (in fact that's when the phrase was coined, I believe). But there's high resolution video of the crowds during the ceremony that clearly contradicts the photos of sparse crowds. I also think the guy is a lying moron, but the fact that that photo is still the cover image for campaigns against him should give people pause...
The exact same thing that happens now: someone dies, usually selected arbitrarily based upon the driver's selfish desire to minimize harm to themselves. Because that situation doesn't allow enough time to make anything except instinctual choices.

The driver is found at fault for that death if they were not driving legally. Otherwise, and very often times regardless, the whole thing is written off as a tragic accident (millions happen every year, just in the USA), and the insurance people do their thing.

Ethical dilemmas are a non-problem for self-driving cars.
