Most sources for machine translation from Arabic-English pairs are data from US Army / anti-terrorist data.

So the data are learned to translate terrorist messages very well, as well as army terms. However, it doesn't translate day-to-day use that well.

Machine learning is only as good as the source data - and Arabic-English language pair specifically has data from US military complex, that loves translating terrorist messages. So translating Al Qaeda messaging will be good, translating regular message boards will be worse. The machine learns to translate everything as an attack, since that is what it knows.

I grew up in Newport News, Virginia. Its one of the towns on the map that is nearly black. I can tell you first hand that many in that city still feel the aftermath of slavery. The poor illiteracy, cognition skills, financial mobility, health, etc, within the black community is truly staggering. I now live in California, but for anybody that claims slavery had no long term effect, go to some of those towns you will be shocked.

Disque was never officially released and is considered deprecated now. Redis already does well as a queue, v4.0 came with modules which add even more functionality, and future releases will include a new streams datatype, similar to Kafka.
I don’t think so. Why then the phenomenon which the government has permitted of outsourcing US jobs? Have the tax cuts created more jobs? Was there a condition attached that they need to employ more people?

It’s quite simple, with financial power comes political power. Elections cost a lot of money these days and if you look at the donor list of both parties it’s dominated by large corporations.

Edit: a more useful metric will be the percentage of total revenue paid by corporations. As can be seen the tax rate is misleading.
This seems overly sensationalized - the use of terms like 'infiltrate' and 'spy' are at the very least over to top to describe what is basically a secret-shopper run.

I'm legitimately curious - what 'trade secrets' could one possibly get by posing as a prospective customer?

In my industry it's commonplace for our competitors to use shill resellers to buy our products for testing. It's annoying but nobody ever calls it spying or infiltrating - it's just 'competitive engineering' (unless they actually reverse engineer and steal some IP - that tends to involve lawyers and is incredibly rare).

> Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Apple would be extraordinarily profitable even if they were paying 26% corporate income tax rates. Your entire premise collapses right there.

You are flat wrong. The integration has already occurred. The corruption is currently ingrained. Being able to source from your own penny factories in another country put many of the behemoths into their market dominant position or solidified them. Facebook is an odd duck which leveraged capital wisely. Amazon had decades of massive loses (revenue-wise) until, roughly, AWS took off. The capital markets favor bigger players at almost every turn and smaller successful companies are consumed and destroyed at a shocking rate after they rise above a starting locality. Microsoft used to afford that kind of market attrition, but now it's been largely Yahoo, Google, Alibaba, etc.
Not it is not, because obscurity usually assumes human limitations on information gathering and searching. So that layer that would bin a human to search for a life-time is non-existent for a proper machine search. The hidden folder, in a sea of thousand folders is not hidden for a machine.

Obscurity was a valid layer, while we did not have machines to eliminate it. Now its gone, and remains a lingering illusions, created by our own limitations.

I think security though obscurity can be a massive deterrent for all but the most dedicated attackers.

For example, say that I not only move ssh to port 24, but it's also completely disabled by default. Then I have a small script scanning icmp logs looking for a ping of a particular size on another obscure port, and if it gets one, it enables the ssh server for 30 seconds. If no one opens an ssh connection in that window, it re-disables.

How would anyone besides an insider even figure out how to enable your ssh port let alone try to break in? Sure, if this method became widespread the script kiddies would adapt accordingly and it would no longer be as effective, but staying one step ahead of the kiddies is pretty easy.

It's not that uncommon, algorithms make a lot of mistakes and this is becoming a critical issue as more and more of our life is ruled by algorithms.
The abundance of persons of the latter mentioned mindset are an intentional product of the power structure, though. Ignorance and indoctrination combined create an army you can oppress and use to keep the oppressed fighting amongst themselves. You just blame your oppressions on the "other".

I don't think you can save that many people when there are so many of them. It becomes cultural. Their identities are defined by their conviction. In earlier times, that would be the point where you leave the society and go somewhere else, but there is really no where left to go on Earth - every country has their own flavor of brooding fundamentalists supporting some faction of the government through propagandized anti-intellectualism.

What you have is natural selection. Systemic corruption is itself a deterministic outcome/symptom when corruption is an adaptive trait. Unfortunately many undesirable behaviors are adaptive: the risk-adjusted rate of return is positive. 'Bad actors' have much more to gain from engaging in them than watchdogs have in stopping it.

You will always lose the fight against corruption in the long run because as the war goes on you get weaker and they get stronger.

You're cherrypicking the part of the document that addresses the comic and I do agree the tone could be more professional, but it a fairly serious rebuke of some pretty terrible claims. Ironically, when Hawkings, Linus, Dawkins, Hitchens, etc use the same tone, the tech community seems to not have any problems with it. The factual aspects of this page are pretty good and I'm hard pressed to find any issue here historically. I'm something of a amateur Edison-era historian, love this period, and feel that if we want to properly honor history and the lives of the people who more or less helped build the modern world, then we should be honest about the facts and park the fanboyism.

I do feel they gloss over the elephant electrocution and even by standards of that time was a bit shocking, even if there were almost no animal welfare laws. To be fair to Edison's group, this PR stunt was tasteless, but the elephant was already sentenced to death. My understanding is the alternative would have been a grisly shooting with an elephant gun which is far less humane than electrocution.

Again, the Oatmeal comic is pretty poor representation of the period. I understand its popular and ties in with Tesla fandom and an over-represented demographic on the web, but I think those honest about knowing what these men did should dismiss it and dig into more academic sources. This period is so exciting and interesting, its a shame a lot of youngsters grow up with a simple minded 'Tesla vs Edison' narrative which is such a stupid oversimplification of an amazing and progressive period in US history.
Not sure if you're saying that makes it OK. I don't think that makes it OK.
In many cases, we have to first acknowledge that the problem exists before we attempt to apply some of these solutions. I've noticed myself seeing solutions to problems that I didn't know I had, only to brush off the solution as though it were only an interesting curiosity with no real practical use. It was years later when I went back to that and realized how useful it could have been.
SaaS is essentially an acknowledgement that the most profitable and extractive business model in modern capitalism is to build a capital intensive product and rent it out.

Nostalgia is natural, and I'm not immune. But in the words of Billy Joel [1], "the good old days weren't always good, and tomorrow's not as bad as it seems."

Now, let's start with that "Evolution of a Programmer" meme (fortunately not the graphical kind). It wreaks of smug superiority, most clearly seen in the CEO section at the end. If that situation ever actually happened, I would blame IT for giving the CEO a Unix setup with no GUI, not the CEO directly. The "Seasoned Professional" and "Master Programmer" sections show the excesses of mid-90s C++ and Windows programming respectively, and not what a programmer worthy of either of those descriptions would really do.

Speaking of excessive COM (as in the "Master Programmer" section), excess does sometimes get cut, particularly under competitive pressure. See for instance Mozilla deCOMtamination. [2]

Not all COM is excessive though. Even some of the heavier parts of it (the global class registry, type libraries, cross-process calls, IDispatch) have their place. For instance, they enabled the rich ecosystem of third-party developers working with Microsoft Office (the desktop version). All of this is light years ahead of GEOS or DOS, though it was all there in late 90s Windows.

Also missing from GEOS, as well as from graphical applications running on DOS, were important features like internationalization, accessibility for people with disabilities (e.g. blind people with screen readers), layouts that could adapt to different screen sizes and font size settings (accessibility again), and high-quality proportional text rendering. I'm sure there's much more I'm forgetting.

@api, if you read this in time, I'd like to know which late 90s operating system(s) and applications you remember as being faster than today's equivalents. I can't deny that there's bloat in today's software, but that's nothing new. Hell, people complained about bloat in the 90s, and probably before that. And maybe I can point out some ways in which today's platforms and applications are better than the ones you look back on with nostalgia.

AFAIK the argument is that the CO2 is produces during combustion was captured from the atmosphere while the plant was growing, so it's neutral in terms of CO2 emissions (not taking into account other sources of CO2 emissions during the fabrication of the ethanol).

Fossil fuels on the other end take carbon that was sleeping in the ground and leave it in the atmosphere after combustion.

At least that's what I hear over here in Europe, maybe motivations are different in the US.

> Fail2Ban is able to reduce the rate of incorrect authentications attempts however it cannot eliminate the risk that weak authentication presents
True and I agree, but you can't have political power without wealth. It is a catch-22 in my opinion, which came first the chicken or the egg type scenario.
Generally if your economy is healthy the general case should be that no part of a supply chain can ever get rich enough to outright buy another piece. If any one part was making too generous a profit that could build that kind of war chest, low barriers to entry and competition would quickly propagate alternatives that took less profit.

This is, however, why you cannot just have a strict free market. Some industries emerge - and will emerge - that are naturally hard to enter and compete in. But at the same time, you need to have the lightest touch necessary, because the same regulatory apparatus can (and does in spades today) be abused to prevent competition by industry incumbents. But again, it is hard to accumulate the capital or scale to control government unless you have one of those non-competitive revenue streams.

The important historic realization is that we have failed to police businesses that had such extreme margins, probably because at the time those invested in such businesses felt it was just the success of the American market instead of being a wound in society that would grow infected.

> How to fix it though?

If tax agencies would just stop accepting any "transfer pricing" BS from multinational corporations, and simply divide their total net profit (wherever) by the share of the national market and base corporate tax on that, I think that would be a start.

Localities competing for business is i.m.o. much less problematic: it's a one-time write-off, there is legislation, and it has to be "sold" to tax-payers.

In theoretical computer science, NP is the class of problems where it is easy to check an answer but (presumably) difficult to generate an answer.

There are many, many problems in NP. However, quantum computers are not expected to be able to efficiently solve NP problems.

Factoring is thought to be an easier sort of NP problem, known sometimes as NP-intermediate [1]. (This means it is in NP, but not "NP-complete.") So quantum computers have a chance at factoring efficiently, and in fact they do. There are other NP-intermediate problems like discrete logarithm that quantum computers can also solve, but NP-intermediate problems are not as common (in real life) as NP-complete problems and quantum computers still can't solve a lot of them as far as we know.

Honestly, I'm tired of the race for games to just 'look' better. Most of the time it seems as if it is a detriment to actual gameplay and frame rate.

I would definitely prefer games to look bad (or preferably stylized in a way that works for the game) over having a somewhat realistic looking game ( only when your standing still so the frame rate doesn't dip) and terrible mechanics and a bad story.

Far to much information and talk about making games look better and very little about how to make games actually better. Modern gaming to me has become the same as clicking the X on hundreds of popups from your windows 98 machine. Just with somewhat realistic looking ugly faces instead of X's.
