Yes. It's not "access to the keychain" but "access to this item" and it's a simple "the binary $NAME with $DIGEST has permission to access this item."

Technically, if you can create another executable binary with the same name and digest, you can access the same keychain item.
Does it collect personally-identifiable Information? Suppose, for sake of discussion, they collect something inoocuous, like whether you prefer to maximise windows. Say a single bit of information. True or false. Would you still be opposed to the telemetry? I’m trying to understand if the objection is about specific data being collected, or to the idea at all.

Ask HN: Is it possible to write framework agnostic ES6 components?
We were looking to create a widget library and were wondering if it would be possible to create completely framework agnostic components (i.e. using only ES2015 syntax + html5 + css)

These widgets would be used in React, Angular, Vue applications.

Is creating web components the only answer? Integrating web components into a React/Angular application is not trivial either.

Right, you'd have to split up the following line so that `sum` is computed inside the block but assigned after it.
I did that, more or less. I only dropped $700 on a 10 core Xeon CPU for my workstation, which does support ECC, but I went with 128GB of non-ECC RAM because the price for the ECC stuff was ridiculous.

I wish I'd known about AMDs chips at the time though. I suspect my next machine will be an AMD, which hasn't been true in a decade.
Your argument suggests that it's acceptable to expect businesses to a race to the bottom on safety, peace of mind and quality.
I just don't believe that US as a whole is really so unaware of its past. I grew up in Texas public schools and we learned about the Trail of Tears, Japanese internment camps, Jim Crow, etc. We're very aware of a very dark history.

If the US was really such an intolerant and unrepentant place, you wouldn't even have a debate about race. By and large we are a society that acknowledges wrongs and tries to fix them, even if it take decades to do so. I believe that's because the US is really not a singular culture but a mix of many, which ends up being a great advantage.

If it appears from the outside that the US sees itself in Hollywood good vs evil terms, everyone does. I guarantee you Merkel believes she is on the right side of history and a lot of Germans that they are culturally superior to others (you can observe it in this thread; maybe they have good reason). Yeah, US media promulgates a biased message, but that's Hollywood, US media at the same time is very ready to criticize such absurdities (see World Police, or modern political humor which is huge worldwide - Stewart, Colbert, Oliver).

It's just annoying to hear people from outside cultures try and shrink down a nation of 50 mini-nations and 300 million people into some kind of comprehensive worldview. It's not reality.

I assume other countries aren't perfect places, but I'm not on French and German message boards telling Germans how they're just thieves and murderers and that's why they have been successful. If you'll reread some of the comments in this thread, that sentiment is barely hidden.
Google doesn't sell user information. Also, Microsoft also has a search engine and ad business that do the exact same thing and just because it isn't successful that doesn't allow you to give them a free pass. Additionally, they preinstall third party bloatware on their OS and send tremendous amounts of telemetry back to their servers.

That is false. Big business cares about land more than the small farmers

It is the big farmers that care the most for the land. They are big enough that they have collected the data and seen that investments in the land pay off. When you have one field it is really hard to test for yourself how different practices pay off. The university will tell you "go no till, after 7 years your yields will be bigger than if you till the land every year", but small farmers generally think "yeah right, it works for your soils over there, but here we have different soils and so that won't work". By contrast the large farmers have enough fields that they are willing to try every new practice in a couple places to see if it really works for them. The largest farms are now able to scientifically show that they are building soil every year.

Second, in Iowa corporations are banned form owning farms. There are exceptions for seed companies and equipment manufactures, but those are specific loopholes with limits to what can be done. I work for John Deere (but of course do not speak for them), and we have to be very careful that the places where we test our prototypes does not count as farms. (generally the crop is destroyed before harvest - I don't know how the harvester division does their testing though)

Yes, this is a fairly similar concept: https://magenta.tensorflow.org/nsynth

This is actually training a neural network on the Markov model, so it's very similar to core ideas behind the OP's paper. The core idea is to model the probability of a bit of sound by breaking it into the last note and everything that comes before the last note ("P(audio)=P(audio∣note)P(note)"). If you sample a bunch of audio and factor it that way for any given point in time, and accumulate that data somewhere, you can then sample the accumulated data randomly to generate new music.

There are other audio NN synthesis methods as well, pretty sure I've even seen one posted to ShowHN before.

So sign up for a Google Account. As long as you're not using Google+, there's no requirement that a Google Account have accurate, personally-identifying information. And if it's only used to sign into the Play Store, then all Google will know about "you" is what apps you've downloaded. (And you can sign back out of the Play Store in Settings right after if you want, though you won't be able to retrieve updates then.)

It is not a cliche it is an absolute truth. Information not present cannot be retrieved. There may be more information present than is immediately obvious.

Sure you can. You're free to download from the Amazon App Store or any other app store or even get your apps directly from the developer.

You're confusing your cheap Android phone with an expensive iPhone. On the latter, you need an Apple account just to download apps, and their App Store tracks you exactly the same amount as Google's Play Store.
And it's shocking that a company like Lenovo doesn't understand that when they act unethically in one line of business, the tarnished reputation may harm a different line of business. The bullshit they engaged in with consumers definitely made me less likely to replace my current ThinkPads with new ThinkPads. What they do have working for them is that their competition is largely just as bad or worse.

I wish Microsoft would get serious about hardware. I trust them more than any of their partners.
Just need to look at the picture of Fred Armisen to see that this technique can generate a picture of a plausibly real human who bears no/very little resemblance to the original image.
I am pretty confident that some phrases would repeat.
How do CNNs work when the output is multiple categories? For instance, in the same image is a cat and a dog and a car. What's the architecture look like - multiple CNNs, each that can predict one category? Or does one CNN have multiple outputs and if the score > threshold, add that category to the list shown to the user?

Also, how do CNNs draw a box around the target in the image?
I'm not suggesting there is one, I'm deliberately not taking a view on that. What I am saying is that if one does exist, as some commenters are saying, we're likely still not there yet as many other similar industries have far higher levels of diversity.

Its not even ECC its also multiple processors. If I want two i7's, too bad, I also need to buy Xeon. I think this is a way AMD can differentiate itself. I don't think anyone is selling dual socket ryzen boards either. Last I heard you'll need to pay for Naples for that.

These are odd moves to make during the long tail of Moore's law. Not sure if protecting the server market from a small amount of overly cheap buyers putting workstations into server use is worth hobbling everyone else and forcing them to pay the Xeon and Naples premium.

No idea who is spending $2k on this either, especially when the 1800X is $449 right now. Whale gamers I suppose.

Using external speakers (or headphones), battery life, and disk storage are three I can think of off hand.

Some podcasts are exceptionally long (10's of hours - think the out-of-copyright version of audiobooks), and those consume a lot of battery life (for both playback and transfer) and disk space.
The "weather", clouds and "stars"(night sky). Are two things I see most in this cool photo/video compilation... great to watch. The night sky on sea is stunning, becaus of reduced or no "light pollution". Good idea to actually use photos!
The battery life (at least on my 7 month old series 2) is already much better than I need it to be. I’m a bit of an obsessive charger, but I almost never get it down past 40% by night time, even if I do a 2 hour bike ride workout with it.

In addition to this, the comment you're replying to comes across as dismissive of the issue on the basis of it being common elsewhere. In other words, "TfL are not justified in taking punitive measures against Uber for deliberately failing to report sexual assault because other places also fail to report sexual assault". Needless to say, that sort of apologia is horrific

Perhaps I'm reading more into the comment than was intended, perhaps that is the correct amount.

From the poly relationships I have observed - you talk about it with all involved, have a discussion about how the kid's going to get raised etc etc. It can get complicated depending on who is living where and such stuff. But then AFAICT everything in poly relationships takes quite a lot of thought and planning.

I think contraception and planning when you're going to have a kid and who with becomes even more critical.

Too much effort for me!

TLDR: Assume someone comes in with no prior knowledge and give them the benefit of the doubt.

I will add that at some point that if this does not translate into productive business value after a reasonable (1-3 months) onboarding time, the next step will be to sit down with this person and create a plan to get their performance up, because this approach will not last forever.

The step you're missing is that an edge detector is run on the entire database of training images to produce a database of edge images. The input edge image is run against that corpus of edge images in order to find which edge images match, then sample the corresponding original color images and synthesize a new color image.
And it can be extended down to arbitrary units.

Do you have a source for those claims? It seems highly unlikely to me that certain types of cpu's or gpu's are allowed errors to cut costs. Rounding mechanics are complicated, but I'd say a bug is a bug. As mentioned in a comment by jackmott in this thread, "engineering purposes" also often actively reduce precision for increased performance.
My main goal was to create a player without embedding any human developed strategy (such as left-down-up). This would obviously be less optimal but more general purpose.

Uber is using investor money to offer rides below cost - i.e. someone else is footing the bill, you are taking a ride subsidised by Uber's investors.

- Exploration of episodes and general library management is better on a bigger screen
Yes, you are completely missing how the keychain works.

When you go to facebook.com, safari requests access to the facebook.com password via the keychain api. At which point you are supposed to be prompted by the OS, and if you allow it, the keychain api returns the decrypted password only for facebook.com.

The vulnerability being demonstrated is able to decrypt every password in your keychain, without prompting the user in any way.

The first question has been widely answered, so let me jump to the second question -- bounding boxes.

In the past, some people did this inefficiently by just sliding a window across the image and using the same classifier you'd use for the first problem. But this is inefficient, and different sizes make it more inefficient. So the best solution is to use an "Object Detection" network, look into SSD or YOLO to see an example of this.

Write modular code with these creative techniques
Peter F. Hamilton

Besides writing marvelous sci-fi which I would recommend everyone to read, many of his books center around a world where humans rejuvenate. Basically you go to a clinic where your body's age is turned back to whatever age you desire (or maybe a new body is grown, can't remember). When you are there your "brain" (memories, thinking patterns etc) is backed up meaning if you are killed the clinic will simply clone a new body for you and download your consciousness to the new body. It's been I while since I last read his books so I can't off-hand remember what moral/social aspects of immortality he focused on.

If you want to read his books I would recommend you start with Pandora's Star and Judas Unchained. Those have to be some of the best books I've ever read. Speaking of which, I'm off to re-read them a third time.
