You might find De-anonymizing Programmers via Code Stylometry ( http://www.princeton.edu/~aylinc/papers/caliskan-islam_deano... ) an interesting read.

I suspect that coding style guides are detectable in compiled output too.

As an aside, a bit that caught my eye here:

Washington Posts understandably longs for the days when large media outlets had a virtual monopoly on information but they're gone and not likely to make a comeback. I don't know why they cheer Facebook/Twitter/whoever to take their place but I certainly hope this effort fails.

Having Mark Zuckerberg decide who and what can be read on the Internet or even decide the elections is an outcome much worse than ISIS videos or Russian ads in my news feed.
> This was because if a team “dropped” an argument by its opponent—if it did not respond to the other side’s claim—that argument was conceded as “true,” no matter how inane it was. Chief among the strategies exploiting this rule was “spreading” (a combination of “speed” and “reading”), where debaters would rattle off arguments at a blistering pace. Their speeches often exceeded 300 words per minute. (A conversational pace is about 60 per minute.)

This is quite common online too, especially among creationists:

> free food doesn't mean that farmers would work for free.

Definitely, we already heavily subsidize farmers, if the sole source buyer became the federal gov't we could cut out the middle men (Kroger, Walmart, the distribution warehouse chains, food staple speculators) and create a stable food supply for everyone.

Perhaps charge a piecemeal amount beyond a certain quantity, to reduce waste.

> the extreme failure that was the Soviet collectivization

Well, when you come in and break up the existing communes at gunpoint, you can't be surprised that their output drops to zero, combined with forcing the remaining peasants you haven't killed to form farming collectives.

Locally organized farming communes are quite productive, but you need buy-in from members, which takes time, effort, and proper economic incentives.
This is great! I'm really impressed by the technical achievement, and hope everyone takes lessons from it to put performance and FPS at the forefront of their concerns when developing applications.

Sadly, seeing the state of the industry, people will just use this as an excuse to continue write more and more sloppy code that would perform terrible even on the newest and faster WebRender version.

In other words, this version might run current websites at 60 fps. But wait a few years, and it will become the norm that a lot of websites render at 10fps or less.

There should also be a way to punish developers who fail to run their sites at 60fps on WebRender, similar to how browsers will start to punish sites that run without https.

For example, if a site fails to run at 60fps for a few seconds, show some kind of alarm on the address bar that this site is very slow and might crash the browser.

> Apple's A11 ... We are a generation or two away from ARM having the same power as top of the line laptop processors

Apple's SoC's, including the CPU, are designed by Apple, not ARM (the company). They run the ARM instruction set but the CPU core is not ARM's design. The last Apple chip to have ARM-designed CPUs was the Apple A5(X) with the ARM Cortex-A9 from 2011, every Apple chip after that has had a CPU designed by Apple. Additionally, the SoC most likely contains "hidden" core(s) not unlike Intel ME (like most SoC's do) that boot up the system and perform power management and other peripheral duties.

ARM is not the answer because they don't do their own chips. They license the technology and their clients are free to add whatever management engine hardware to their SoC.

An ARM-based SoC could be built without hidden hardware or firmware blobs but I am not aware of a SoC that could run on completely free and open software.
For last minute option, perhaps best to attempt to make a sprinkler out of the gardenhose by poking holes in it and if long enough roll it out around the house.
In my experience (listening to ~95% metal/hard rock), all of the automated playlists work amazingly well.
Power consumption is super-linear with clock speed. This means that in general splitting work from one core on to two cores running at half the speed will save power.

I would expect that in the long term, GPU rendering would be more efficient. In the short term the fact that the CPU is having to do a lot of work to manage the GPU may make it less efficient.

The thing I don't understand about allegations like this is that, if true, why in the world did the US not take up Kaspersky on its offer of complete source access?

Scans are executed client side using client side heuristics. And so what is or is not sent back would be contained within the client. It could be trivially verified that the source code they proffered compiles to the product at the time. And so it would also contain clear evidence whether or not the company's product was collecting and reporting data on software/documents/etc outside the nominal domain of its purpose.

It seems like the problems are from low density so I wonder if there's a way to set up an economic incentive for residents of suburbs to congregate in naturally growing/shrinking high density clusters so empty areas remain completely empty instead of sparsely populated and can have their services shut down.

The more usual idea with population control is that one married couple will have multiple children. If they have more than 2.1 on average then the population will expand.

This particular comment seemed to focus on the man impregnating more than one woman, while saying nothing about the total number of children born per capita.

I thought they might have been talking about access to mates as a scarce resource, but to be honest that's just a wild guess as it's not clear to me what they intended.

Thank you, good points. It is probably more of a spectrum than I previously stated.
Though I'd personally also wouldn't call the ELF or Army of God terrorist organizations. That I'd reserve for untargeted civillian attacks that have the intent of striking fear. But given that the US government considers these organizations terrorist, it's only fair to call their CIA a terrorist organization.

The outer suburbs are full of richer people and are newer, which means they have more money and fewer financial obligations. New development is also often subsidized in various ways. But as poor people move into them (e.g. after explicitly discriminatory policies were outlawed), the rich whites keep moving further away (because they don’t want their tax dollars paying for services for poor brown people). In some cases like the St. Louis area the leapfrog game is pathological at this point.

It was also used in “Breaking Bad”, in the scene where Walter sets “Ken Wins” BMW on fire. Thomas Golubić was the music supervisor for BB and Better Call Saul and these shows’ playlists make superb additions for Spotify listening, in my opinion. They’re chock-full of great discoveries like Darondo.

It doesn’t surprise me that “Didn't I” comes up in many playlists, but it does surprise me that the other great songs on that album don’t get worked into Spotify stations. This is a great example of their algorithmic problems.

Watson is probably not for companies whose core competency is software. There's plenty of less glitzy and more functional machine learning tools out there. Have you tried scikit-learn and nltk?

As a non-expert trying to give baryon plasma clouds a place in my imagination: Since they're in plasma form, I imagine them as a very hot gassy cloud, though the gas is so thin it would probably not heat up any spacecraft flying through?

On one hand, the novelty / utility of these devices makes me half inclined to get one but the fundamental idea of having a device in my house, connected to the internet that is sat there listening to me 24/7 leaves me feeling slightly uneasy at best. The idea makes me feel like I'd be treating all the things I've read in the past few years about tech companies, privacy etc with complete contempt.
In my experience it tends to be at around 50 to 100 lines. At this point you usually encounter at least one "gotcha" or difficultly that bash can't handle in an elegant way and realize that it would probably be a lot faster if you just used another language instead.

I worked with a large company that was one of IBM's 'partners' for watson. They mostly used the partnership for the free publicity, but complained about how terrible all of the disparate watson services were. In the end they ended up replacing most of the services with google ones, but maintained the public partnership.
Yeah, I agree with this. Built with Shopify seems like a decent service, but it's not really the sort of 'community' I or most people would think about when they hear the word used. It's more like a blog that does interviews with people if anything else, with the community side being less of a focus than the written articles. The community aspect is basically meaningless there.

Instead, I feel it would have been more interesting to see an article like this about running a forum or social media site akin to Twitter or Reddit. A site where you can't just fall back on the efforts of one person where you struggle, and where the users are front and centre with their work being key to the site's success.
They do have a dislike button though, the thumbs down icon next to the play controls (on the desktop version of Spotify).
Marches and sit-ins are pretty core tactics to peaceful protesting and civil disobedience.
I tried to do something like that over 2 years ago. I never got to work on the analyze part of the data. I still have a 2GB database of online/offline, status (text status thingy) and profile picture changes. Someday I'll get back to that data and analyze it.
I think this might be a huge problem for them and I’m pretty sure that they’re aware of it. The lack of variety seems to span all genres and radio stations. I’m really into Texas Country, Americana, and Red Dirt music. These are distinct sub-genres under “alt-Country” music but from the Spotify perspective, they’re all basically the same 40-50 songs. I can’t tell the difference between the Reckless Kelly, Robert Earl Keen, and James McMurtry radio stations because they all play the same set of songs that I got sick of months ago.

I don’t know if it’s a licensing issue—do they save money by keeping song variety down?—or is it an algorithm problem? I wish they would fix it because I’m about to bail for some other service if they can’t.

Pandora is the gold standard for good variety and new artist discovery as far as I’m concerned.

It's the NYT for crying out sake! Unless you believe they have the knowledge on staff to do any sort of original reporting on this, this story is exactly what a "government official speaking on the condition of anonymity" has whispered to them. It's the fricking party line.

It's right there in the article:

The current and former government officials who described the episode spoke about it on condition of anonymity because of classification rules.

There are two options here, obviously. Someone revealed actual classified information, in which case apparently multiple government workers committed a felony to tell the NYT about a story that is entirely flattering for the employer they just betrayed. Or, and given the incidence of "government officials .. spoke on the condition of anonymity" in NYT stories the far more likely option, the press office of the NSA called the NYT, whispered some dangerous words about "off the record" and then delivered the official press release that for some reason they just didn't get to put on NSA website just yet.

This is the NYT writing a government press release into a bad thriller guided not by independently verified facts (how could you) but sheer ideology to fill in the gaps.
Quite a bit after the point where it pays to convert sed and awk one-liners into Perl one-liners and build a program around it.

Perl may be as dead as sed and awk are now, but that was the initial use case for Perl before CGI (as in Common Gateway Interface - the first primitive interface for web apps) came along.
This is already a prevalent phenomenon in generous welfare states.

If you're going to make that argument you have to correct for the fact that many welfare state programs implicitly encourage people to slack off. If you're 'caught' going to school or taking courses, working part time or trying start your own business you can, in many cases, end up kicked off of welfare. Earning an extra dollar while on UBI will leave you with an extra dollar to spend. Earning an extra dollar while on welfare can in many cases leave you a lot worse off.

Also many welfare programs require you to jump through regular bureaucratic hoops that will eat up a lot of your time and energy. We don't really know what will happen if we remove those restrictions.

My personal observation is that it depends mainly on your culture (nationality?) relationship with drinking.

In some places, drinking is just something that do you do when you go out, in others, it seems like drinking is the goal of going out and they try to get drunk the faster the better.

Everything has a cost, the cost of free speech is the possibility of hateful and destructive propaganda. This cost is in my opinion trivial compare to the alternatives. We saw what the cost of speech and information restriction have done to civilizations in history.

The ability to speak freely and having access to information is not just one virtue like justice or compassion. It is the way by which we create our value.

We should take really seriously any attempt by anyone to restrict it.
That option would be useful indeed.

I used to browse the community forums, propose features and vote on others. Spotify, however, has been pretty unresponsive to even the most reasonable and popular proposals, sadly, I might say.
> I think the opposite will happen

Looking at what's already happened, one can only say it's the most probable outcome.

Look at what happened in USSR.

Or what happens right now in Switzerland where pay checks are so high that almost nobody works at 100%, they all have some kind part time job.

Any other assumption is, well, an assumption, and a risky one.

I am a staunch opponent of racism (as if anyone would say otherwise) but I don't think that the answer is that simple. White flight is only part of it. The biggest reason for the birth of suburbia in the 50s was the affordability of the automobile combined with the newly minted Eisenhower expressways which made living far away from where you work cheap and feasible.

White flight was a reason why people wanted to take advantage of these new possibilities but was not the only reason. Land in the city is expensive. Land in suburbia was (and still is) far cheaper. For $xx/month you can have twice as much "visible wealth" at the expense of a longer commute, which was then portrayed as simply a part of the "suburbian experience" (see the car ads of the time and their romanticization of the commute).

I don't think there is consensus that white flight gave birth to suburbs in the first place. Rather, white flight is often used to explain the birth of future and farther suburbs as whites (being by and large the original inhabitants of the first suburbs) fought to keep that status quo and moved to newer suburbs and set up HOAs and zoning laws specifically designed to prevent poorer (and, directly, "more colored") persons from moving into their newly minted neighborhoods.

Why would a language concern itself with files and processes? This is precisely why libraries are for. And with languages like Ruby, you can pretty much make the syntax.

Every time we decide the solution to a problem is a new language, we end up with two problems. There are valid reasons to invent new languages, but such a narrow domain-specific problem is not one of them.
