Spot on. In the Coast Guard we have a similar operational risk assessment model called General Assessment of Risk (GAR)[0], which uses six categories and a score of 1-10 in each to get a cumulative score, which corresponds to either Green (low risk), Amber (moderate risk), or Red (high risk). In a best-case scenario, all involved in the operation will conduct a GAR brief as a group, and the person doing the brief will solicit the group for what number they would give for each category, and the highest number anyone calls out is the one the whole group goes with. Typically, if somebody calls out a 5 or higher, they are asked to explain why they feel the risk in that category is so high. Once the reasons are identified, the group then "mitigates" the risk by discussing the identified reasons so that everyone understands the risks. The score is tallied, and the color (risk level) is identified.

That is the best-case, textbook way to run the model. Still very subjective pseudo-science, masquerading as objective risk management, but at least has something of a method to it.

In practice, the repetitiveness of the GAR model results in many crews blowing it off, and giving a vague, arbitrary cumulative score without any discussion around how they got there. This sounds bad, and by policy it is bad, but in practice I have observed no discernible difference in how crews approach risky missions and operations when they conduct a full GAR brief or just give a somewhat random score and move on. In other words, the GAR model does not seem to provide any tangible risk management benefit, and largely seems to serve as a bureaucratic CYA solution.

GAR was introduced in an attempt to reduce the number of mishaps occurring due to what was deemed to be excessive risk-taking. The statistics may demonstrate that it had that effect, though I would argue from my perspective that other training programs introduced to address problems related to risk assessment have far more deckplate-level impact and effectiveness. The problem with GAR is that it tries to objectively standardize something which is, by its very nature, dynamic and subjective. No two people, in the exact same situation and having the exact same capabilities and experience, assess the risk the same way. Assigning numbers to a series of broad categories and giving a color-coded risk level to the situation does not inform anyone of anything very useful. Discussion of risk factors is more helpful, but due to the way the system is structured, is a step frequently skipped.

What matters far more is focusing on continuous, dynamic training and education of those in billets for whom risk management is a critical part of the safe completion of their mission, and emphasizing clear communication unfettered by rank or positional authority to ensure that everyone has full situational awareness. Be respectful, but make sure that information can move freely between all involved.

On a serious note, one of my middling priorities (unfortunately :( It always feels like you can't choose most your high priorities) is to build a rust-based website and a couple of other rust-based projects t get a feel for the language. It really dose feel like all the parts are there already and that as things get added, it'll just get easier and better.
Not just Olympia but majority of "natural" fitness models you find on instagram are on steroids as well. It's just impossible to look like that year round naturally.
That's completely true to me. I don't know how many but I guess there's a ton of software developers who aren't really interested in projects they are developing, but that doesn't seem to tie with quality of works.

Personally, I haven't really interested in any product out there. I tried but there were no such a thing. I've realized that at the end of the day I'll have to build a little profitable product and start the next possible ways from there. (I know, nothing new about that realization and consequence but I still & will have to do this)
OK, but you realize that the blockchain in your case is only used because regulation exists right? As in, if the SEC did not exist, you could just sell shares on an open market without registering. But you're using the blockchain so you don't have to do this. Is this correct?

I understand your token thingie can be used like a digital coin to redeem for data, but surely that doesn't require a blockchain... you can just do internal accounting of the digital coins in MySQL? Then you wouldn't have to pay the Ethereum network for every state change or transaction so you could cut costs.

EDIT: I just had a realization. This means you intentionally chose inefficient tech (Ethereum as a database for your coin) JUST so you can pay for a regulatory circumvention mechanism. Oh god...
I thought missile defense was well-known vapor-ware.
The Patriot Anti-Missile system had plenty of successes and a few failures broadcast on live TV during the first Gulf War.

But I think the idea is to only use them when the launched missile is on a trajectory to hit a target you want to defend. First, it costs money. Second, each time a defensive missile is deployed, there is inherently some information leakage about the defensive capability. So if you're going to make such a disclosure, you want it to count.
This hypothesis doesn't really make sense. Why would NK want to see what it can get away with? All they need to do is show to their enemies that they have the capability to cause incredible loss of life and they will achieve their goal of staying in power. They don't actually need to cause actual loss of life to do so. Actually performing a missile strike for example in Japan is not in their own interest because once they step over a certain line it's game over.
The actual evidence against the man has been lost, so claimed by this man. Go to about 14 minutes in.

Are coroutines more somehow more powerful?
One of my buddies described the C-RAM system, which is designed to do this [in small quantities]. Quite a crazy sight to see at night as the rounds explode in clouds eventually. It can provide intelligence back to counter-mortar teams to strike the location of the first strike.

I'm not sure if a South China Sea bubble in the 18th century can really be used as a valid comparison here.

We're talking about the rise of a self-contained, decentralised currency and transactional system, all rolled into one. It literally has blatant potential to be a game changer, 100%.

In saying that, I wouldn't be surprised if it all falls apart in the short term.
Seems like the curse of the 80/20 rule. Cars that can drive themselves, monitor their surroundings using cameras, react to unpredictable moving obstacles etc are pretty impressive. That's the 80%. The other 20% is about things like bad weather (especially snow, which can completely cover road markings and signs) and "no win" situations. It's not hard to see a close-enough-to-perfect system taking the other 80% of the time.
Were you (or citizens in general) actually able to see the missile crossing the sky?
For me the point of Prisoner's Dilemma is that math alone can't give you the answer. The answer lies in your ability to trust the other side and to believe they will trust you.
I doubt that's true. The entire point of the Manhattan Project was to create an atomic bomb before the Germans could make one. Everyone involved knew they were creating a weapon capable of an unprecedented level of destruction.

If not dying every time I jumped resulted in a new human being born, I might agree, but the death rate of births is a net negative. :P

Joking aside, that's an interesting comparison but a bit difficult to really put side by side in a way that's fair. Skydivers jump on average around 90 times a year, which is why they die about 1 in 1,600 per year. Mothers only give birth once per year and on average less than 2 times per life in the US.

A average skydiver's chance of dying in after 20 years is 1 in 80. The average mother's change of dying from birth after 20 years is 1 in 2,000.
4. It’s usually preferable if your dependent (target) variable is separate from your independent (output) variable for usability reasons.

5. I’d provide a vector of integers where each integer represents a different class. Encoding is dependent on the underlying algorithm and its implementation. You’d want to provide plenty of flexibility to users.

I’d also add that MNIST has an advantage over a dataset like CIFAR because background pixels are zeroed out (i.e. you don’t need to account for varied backgrounds). So you’d probably want to segment your objects.
I've wondered if the best strategy might be to flood them with material goods. Just an absolute torrent of everything they could want.

Or maybe do insane things like put really nice billion dollar ships offshore and blow them up once a month.

Somehow demonstrate the asymmetry to a larger portion of the population.
> this is the first time he has flown a missile OVER a Japanese land mass.

Predecessor did so before in 1998 (or sometime around that), right?
Indeed: that was amazing footage but clearly no margin for error. If you're doing that kind of thing routinely it's bound to kill you sooner or later.
Unlike a cruise missile, ballistic missiles are not really capable of turning in that way.
Given that at least one nuclear strike was closely averted because of better information being available later during a misclassification of a launch of research rocket1], I think it definitely can matter.

I found it interesting to read that GMAIL can be quite anal about account creation. I have one from years back. Hardly ever use it. But I have noticed that GMAIL accounts seem to be the email service of choice on Craigslist (Casual Encounters). I better explain myself here. I live in area that is well protected by the police. But one night I went out to pick up a pizza, halftime, and I was outside by my car waiting, and was approached by a Lady of the Evening. I was kind of stunned. So I started monitoring Craigslist. I said all this to bring up my experiences with Outlook.com.
I set up 3 accounts, all using the "Alternate email address" option. One for my father, stop his griping about GMAIL, one for a friend to keep in touch while I was on a roadtrip in Oregon, and another one for me. Once set up, I tested them out, send/recieve an email. Within few days, all were "Temporarily Suspended", for some unspecified "possible" violation of ToS. To unlock them I would be require to provide a text able phone number to recieve an activation code, and require to use the code within 10 minutes. Now I did not create these accounts all at once, there were months in between. I am just waiting for the day, when my other accounts, which I have had for years, multiple accounts were needed in the days before email aliases, to recieve the same treatment. So I am not really hot on the idea of providing them my phone number, especially after this type of treatment. Therefore, what they call "burner phone", I guess is the solution. Suggestions would be appreciated on a "burner phone". I remember years ago, when there was talk of the government controlling the internet, and websites protested by turning their backgrounds to black. That today there are many large tech companies now applying their own version of privacy invasion (tracking) and censorship.

> Additionally, MNIST and fashion-MNIST have all their objects centered and of similar scale. This is a large part of what makes them a popular first test for any image model: they are very simple to solve as the model need not be very robust to fit the dataset.

Yeah, this is crucial. Especially when trying to generalize models. It’s easy to verify the usefulness of data augmentation when you can make basic assumptions about the data (e.g. it’s centered).
I've heard her tell this story. My impression (as I recall) was that it was to show the catapult operator that you weren't touching anything. But even though this is just about being flung mechanically off the deck, the basic idea applies. When the automated system is doing its thing, it can be harmful to interfere.
> For others, it might mean one original article blurred out in a newsletter. (Inside’s newsletter CMS is built to handle toggling between paid-for and free content.)

Anyone know of an open source or paid Newsletter Management CMS? I'm working on a content site like inside, for a very small sports niche, and am thinking of making it a daily newsletter with paid subscriptions, instead of a regular website driven by WordPress or some other CMS, with ads, which would be super annoying and not monetize well these days.
CAN use Kubernetes.

They support Cattle (Rancher's own), Kubernetes, or Swarm for orchestration.

I talked with some of the folks that work at Rancher at the last Dockercon and IIRC they even had some rudimentary Mesos support.
So does cycling. Everything from wheel size, tube profile, saddle angle even down to the basic double diamond shape is regulated.

The entire modern sport of cycling is based around the idea that riders sheltering behind forward team mates or rivals burn much less energy pushing through the air.

Without the rules governing bike design riders would probably gravitate to the use of fully faired recumbent bikes and the team dynamic would be lost. We'd be reduced to what amounts to individual time trials.

This is one reason why we have individual and team time trials on slightly less restricted designs to separate the desciplins.
there was a tax issue in our shopping cart software that only occurred in florida. I googled for an address in florida and put in a few test purchases.

Long story short, I shipped a thousand dollars worth of networking equipment to Disney World.
Unlikely. The terrain just north of the DMZ is heavily forested hills, with an unknowable but certainly immense amount of heavily fortified artillery installations with underground access. There's no known weapon system short of strategic nukes (which are not an option because Seoul would be in range) that could neutralize that threat before mass civilian casualties had occurred in Seoul. Bannon's estimate of 20 million is perhaps exaggerated, but probably not by that much.
I think it's the opposite. Humans constantly make the same mistake like being drunk, tired, using a phone. With autonomous cars every single collision will be investigated - where the software is at fault a new improved version will be pushed to all cars, elimination the problem. This systematic improvement will mirror the improvement of airplane systems, but with a much faster time frame
>Well, at least for the purely engineering part (aside from sales), I've seen the contrary more often than not.

>Earlier I my career, I've seen projects understaffed with tight deadlines. When management finally released that the said deadlines could not be met, they hired really fast, and not carefully, a bunch of people to try to reach that deadline. Those new people needed to be on-boarded, trained, and sometimes put aside because they didn't have the required competences. In the end it put us even more behind schedule than before.

The parent is talking about enterprise software, where costs per customer are very high. These companies live on contracts. They may have a core product, but each new customer requires a lot of development. These kind of organizations can scale linearly because each customer basically gets its own team. Consulting is the extreme version of this.
It is "disingeuous" to suggest I use binary packages or that I use third party software whose source that I have not edited or read.

As it happens, I am constantly reading the sources of the software I use: kernel, userland and third party. And I do pay attention to attributed authorship on that software.

But I am not evaulating any software based on "personalities" of its authors, as alleged by random people, often anonymous, in internet mailing lists, forums, blogs, etc.

I am going to continue to use the "best software available", as determined by me, for better or worse. I think I am not alone in that approach and I think it is reasonable. I will not be distracted by petty criticisms of what I know to be good software or "dirty laundry" about the authors on the internet that I may encounter in the process.

That line is not so clear. For example, it is not that uncommon for medical students to take beta blockers for increased performance during lab practicals and patient procedures, or surgeons. There is a murky line between jittery nerves and anxiety.

Also, what is to be done about athletes that are diagnosed with ADD? This was a major controversy in esports, although im not sure if those individuals were clinically diagnosed.

Modafinil is specifically prescribed to people who need to stay alert during work hours if their schedule has a disruptive sleep routine. The 24 hr Le Mans is certainly disruptive to one's circadian rhythms.

This may be a nonsense scenario, but what about transgender men powerlifters or bodybuilders who regularly need to take testosterone to conform to their gender identity? Should they have their own class? If we allow them, since natural production is over a wide spectrum, it becomes difficult to say what the threshold is. From their perspective, it maay seem unfair that they are limited while people like Arnold Schwarzenegger naturally produce large amounts.

Kobe Bryant used plasma therapy to quickly heal his Achilles tear. NFL teams use hyperbaric chambers to improve injury recovery speeds. Robin van Persie uses horse placenta to recover from muscle injuries.

It doesnt matter if the sport is based on skill(pool), pure strength/speed, or mental acuity(chess, go). Your genetics can confer advantages in all 3.
Yes, that's what I'm saying. They're pronounced the exact same and now the written language is starting to exhibit that very thing.
It's pertinent to add that this lack of documentation is recurrent in a lot of FLOSS projects. I don't think that software like linux and mastadon and distopia need to be simplified, they just need people who are good at explaining stuff to spend more time doing just that. Instead, projects geared to the lay user like ubuntu and distopia think pretty UI and graphics are what drive traffic. I wholeheartedly disagree.

What makes for a rewarding User-Experience is first and foremost getting shit done (aka challenge/reward), not the resolution of the feedback sprite or the trendiness of your color-scheme/layout.

I believe there are two mistakes in your thinking:

1. Is wrong because the decisions aren't made by the average North Korean, but by the leadership, which is living quite a comfortable life. At least more comfortable than death, or a war crimes tribunal.

3. The international community would absolutely tolerate proportional retaliation. For a nuclear attack (the only option North Korea would have against anything but Seoul), it is widely assumed that the US would retaliate with nuclear weapons. Even if some US president were to stop short of nuclear retaliation, there is no possibility of NK leadership surviving an attack.

The game theory mechanics aren't really that complicated. It's mostly the same as the cold war's Mutually Assured Destruction. Except the cold war scenarios always had the wrinkle of "if our enemy has already destroyed our country, and killed almost everybody–what is the purpose of retaliating against their population (which, by and large, would be just as innocent as ours)". NK doesn't have the ability to create destruction on such a level. Therefore, there would still be a United States (and many other countries) to protect. And such protection would be achieved by denying NK the ability to strike again, and by setting a precedent to discourage such actions by others.
So how can you evaluate the competency of any response?

(I pretty much see the situation as intractable, short of China getting motivated to eliminate their convenient strategic buffer...)
not OP but gonna answer from my experience...

1)...at what? Many of them are very bright and well trained, but seriously, at what? People who go into leadership are often strong managers but that doesn't make them good captains or good seaman. They are incredibly skilled, just at the wrong thing. You gotta remember that at the end of the day it is likely someone under the age of 22 with their hands on the wheel and people of similar age running all the major systems. The promotion path to captain is not exactly hands on.

2)...oh yeah. They have been serving on ships for a long time. But in the Navy, serving on ships does not in any ways equate to seamanship. The Navy (and obviously IMHO) has a little bit of a chip on its shoulder about 'blowing shit up' that likely comes from feeling underutilized in our last to endless wars, and this is especially prevalent in the surface fleet. They tend to prioritize things like warfare officers and sometimes even ex-pilots for promotion up towards captain ranks. Those people are absolutely deployed but doing things totally unrelated to navigation and seamanship as a core mission. They should, but often don't have the time or space, have impeccable seamanship skills.
The Arch wiki doco is also wrong, which probably does not help. There's a glaring error in the first paragraph there. There are in fact nine places where system-level unit files are searched for, not two. Three are in the systemd doco. Three are intentionally undocumented. Two are build-configuration-dependent and usually the same as some of the others. And one was erased from the doco for an clearly invalid reason.

"You can build stuff" is still a good summary, but lots of stuff has happened since this was last updated.
You're asking for trade secrets, something probably not legal (I'm not a lawyer, though). Employees should not be telling you something confidential and the customers/partners usually have access to such information with a NDA/confidentiality agreement. So the question doesn't make sense.

I see your point. I read your comment as 'worst case they can only attack S. Korea' but re-reading it I clearly missed the point.

> I'm just noting that "ability to cause a lot of damage to ally" and "ability to cause a lot of damage to you" can have different weights in the decision process.

Definitely true. But at this point with so much made in China, Korea, and Japan I'd expect that any big political disruption in East Asia would end up being extremely disruptive to the US even though we wouldn't (in this example) be under attack ourselves.
