Thank you very much for this. It is serendipitous. I wish I had the fortune of simply talking to or being in the presence of a man of such calibre. Such men are indeed rare and often their compassion and humble wisdom is easily drowned out by the noisy loud-mouthed advice we often get from so many self-help gurus.

I've been kicked to curb this year with failures, with
skullduggerous cheats, with outright rejections and with rejections of no communication. A growing sense of a dark godawful dread has made residence in the core of my belly. I walk around with it everywhere I go. I feel more than ever that I have now truly and completely doomed my family's future. I should have instead remained, I now think, grinding at that safe but soulless day job before I even thought of cultivating that perilous and impossible journey - that falsely advertised dream to go out alone in consulting and into the business of enterprise bloody software. (A place where arse-kissing and networking matters more than your ability to produce software that is actually useful to clients!)

I was hanging by that last thread of once abundant hope. This dastardly year is coming to its ignoble end, and I continue to stare solemnly at the targets I set for myself in January this year. It's deplorable.

Campbell says "the real end is the journey" and that I need to possess the fire to drive me into battle fearlessly.

I have to summon that courage. But I have to summon the courage to be honest first!
I do not know what to do anymore.

I am with you here, as I've been for many years (you link to a comment of yours that links to a comment of mine, for that effect). I'm even fond of saying, "security vs. fun - pick one". But I start to increasingly understand the arguments from the other side.

Consider: what I consider an essential "fun" of computing is being able to alter software running on my machine as I see fit. If I want to make it so that Windows Notepad is pink, or supports Emacs shortcuts, I should be able to mess with both binary on my hard drive and running process in memory, because it's my computer and my rules. But the same mechanisms allow an evil person to make my mother's Notepad look like her e-mail account login screen and exfiltrate data from that. I dream of having an OS as malleable and tightly integrated as Lisp Machines were, but I wouldn't dare connect it to the Internet these days.

So what can one do? How to approach it? Is there even a way to create a computer that both respects the end-user as its rightful owner and can be safely used to conduct business and pleasure on-line? I honestly don't know if this is even possible in principle. If it is, I would appreciate being pointed towards possible solutions, because this - I believe - is a case worth fighting for.
It's worth noting that even for folks who have enough income to afford an RV park, there are effectively none in the Bay Area. The ones that exist are either: Booked solid with a long waiting list, don't allow old RVs (I found this out when I passed through the area with my 34 year old Avion travel trailer), or are so far from everything as to be useless for most of the folks covered in the article. Or, most likely, all three. Also, among the most expensive RV parks in the country.

I'm pleasantly surprised the city of Palo Alto isn't ticketing or arresting or towing these folks. They passed a law against sleeping in vehicles a few years ago, as I recall. It's deeply troubling, to me, that the solution to homelessness (or near homelessness) is often to make mere existence illegal.

I spent a couple of weeks parking around the University Ave./Downtown area in Palo Alto a few months after I moved into my first RV (a nice/newish motorhome), about eight years ago, to visit with a friend who lived on University, and I didn't have any trouble with police or neighbors, even parked among multimillion dollar homes (it certainly helped that the RV was nice...I got questions from residents but they were of the form "Where've you been?" and "Where are you going next?"), but I'd read there'd been a crackdown on it. I haven't been back in an RV since then.

Last time I was in the area earlier this year, I parked way outside of the valley (about a 1.5 hour drive away, which was literally the closest I could get) and rented a car to drive in (rather than driving my very large F250; the fuel savings paid for the car rental), but I saw that there were little RV villages in a few locations in Mountain View and Palo Alto. If I'd been in a motorhome and didn't have a girlfriend that liked having limitless power and water with me, I would have spent a night or two on those streets just to avoid making that ridiculous drive several times. But, with a trailer, it's just not a great idea to park on streets. Even in places that tolerate motorhomes and vans, they might not tolerate a truck and trailer, and its length often makes it subject to other street parking laws.
I'd do it out of pure spite for the NIMBYs who have made it impossible to pay reasonable prices for housing.
Kinda, but not as real time.

>and eventual chemical castration.

That's a little over the top. Proper dosing- TRT levels- and regular blood work can keep some of the issues at bay.
Palo Alto is one of the few places it's actually legal to sleep in a vehicle. El Camino is a good (but loud) spot to sleep at where you won't get hassled by cops.
It's very similar in most EU countries I know.

Responsibilities go both ways.

No one can "force" you to continue working somewhere, of course, but you may lose compensation for extra vacation time and could be liable for financial damage you cause for your employer. But I've never actually heard about that being an issue.

It's very common to just mutually agree to part ways right away.

And of course there are provisions both ways that allow immediate termination, like gross negligence from the employee or the employer not paying out your salary.
I find it interesting that people feel the need to defend Trump because he’s in “their team”. Can’t help but feel this is an effect of the two party system.

He’s objectively a problematic person as a leader but since there is no other conservative around now conservatives feel the need to clinch to him more than is healthy.
edit - hackernews apparently doesn't value new ideas.
The content goes from fairly interesting to weak very quickly as you scroll through the PDF (why PDF?). It starts out with 'A outperformed because...' on the first few examples and gets to 'we have no idea why, just make sure you test' halfway through the document. If it were me I would have stopped at the last proper example and left the rest out. Quality over quantity. You'd think that a marketing agency understood that.

Also: low quality PDF rather than a normal website? Fine, you can send PDFs to people, but it makes for a poor experience. Are there viruses in that PDF?
Well the point of this project is to allow someone to use .net in the background, although this is already possible with the edge.js project (nothing to do with the edge browser)

The carbon footprint of mining and refining oil for gasoline certainly dwarfs that of lithium mining. Partially because there are a lot more ICE cars than EVs now, but also because gasoline is needed repeatedly over the lifetime of the car, while lithium is mined only once per car.
Yes, you're right. NP-complete. My mistake

This arXiv paper shows the STOA from 2015: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1507.02318.pdf

It works in pseudopolynomial time. I read that it's quite an important problem, related to graphs and encryption.
No, this shines the light on the editorial control bestowed upon the owners of the twitter.com domain name (and any other domain name).
I can't find any GUI info here, I'm assuming that you still need to use html/CSS on top of webkit on top of node.js which then runs .net core in another process
This is a great post. However, it seems also that it is impossible to build the world based solely on official policy and law. We need people to continually make moral decisions in their own lives, to the best of their ability. This involves making sacrifices and ignoring incentives at times.

How do we find this balance? I'm not sure. I think we may always be searching for it.

Note that under the CFAA, deactivating Trump's twitter account without authorization can be prosecuted as a crime with a sentence of up to 5 years in prison.

So, uhh, might want to be careful there, buddy.
Please forgive my ignorance, but what possible intersection is there between blockchains (method of immutably storing small quantities of data in a distributed fashion currently limited by power waste, slowness, and needed storage amount) and providing real data about real stock markets to real people (getting data with proper license and providing it to others on request, currently limited by legal means)?
> The group of people who literally self identify as Nazis is a very very small group.

Luckily self-identification isn't the most reliable way to categorize things. A robin doesn't have to say "I am a robin" in order for you to say "Oh, look, a robin." It's not like suddenly thousands of years of development of classification systems doesn't exist anymore. The group of people who, whether they proclaim it or not, express white-supremacist, nationalist, and vitriolic views is unfortunately not that very small.
it was clear that the amount of content has gone down, the noise has gone up.
Quick question: did the unnamed Twitter employee violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act?
Especially if it's so easy to get off course, and since the responsibility lies with another officer anyway, steering sounds like a job better suited for a computer, rather than a person. As far as I know, airline pilots already dial in most navigational course changes to the autopilot, I would have imagined ships to work similarly.
I'm not trying to deflect personal responsibility and I fortunately have not been in a position where I've had to make an ethical decision that would contradict the wishes of my employer (nor do I work for an employer in the realm of data hungry social media/advertisement) but I have come close WRT intellectual property and software patents. My comment which admitttedly digresses slightly at the end is more about the fact that I find it hard for a company or a group of people to agree on _any_ sort of ethical framework these days when we have such a wide array of cultural backgrounds. I may not like giving up privacy in exchange for auto-gifs of my photo albums, but plenty of people love it, and is it even my place to tell you how you should feel about it (different from telling you how I feel about it and why)? I and other individuals and digital rights advocacy groups do have the conversations about the fallout of letting companies run around unchecked with all the data. And I support the other individuals in arguments and the organizations financially (and as I mentioned try to lead by example). My take away from those conversations however is that privacy is not as much a concern as you or I or Kumail might agree it is right here right now. I don't see how I can have more stake in the game short of shouting louder or deciding to pivot my personal career into public advocacy or civil service... Am I really responsible for indoctrinating others into my own privacy conscious worldview? At the end of the day you have to educate yourself and form your own worldview and live out a set of virtues. If you don't do that or choose a different worldview or set of virtues than me, is that my fault? And if a group of individuals who don't care about the same virtues as I do are at the helm of a company, it's a failure on my part to have prevented that situation from happening? Maybe I'm not 100% clear on your point.
It seems like all adversarial examples I've seen so far are enabled by networks overfitting to small-scale features. By overfitting I mean that they give more importance to details compared to humans, who recognize much more the image as a whole.

Maybe the problem could be mitigated by penalizing "direct" responses to small-scale features while training, which is not a trivial thing to do though. One approach I could think of is training with multiple altered versions of the image, e.g. various amounts of blur, noise and mean/median filters applied. Or the other way around: To be more confident about a result, scale down the image to a fraction of it's size, run detection on that and compare results.

Are such techniques in use, or being researched on? I'm not too much in the loop about those topics.
It turns out that humans have memories and reputation is important.

Not to invoke Godwin, but Hitler’s opinions on mundane things will always be filtered through the lens of what he did and said otherwise. It is the same for all people.

If you don’t want to damage your reputation, either publish your unpopular opinions anonymously, keep them to yourself, or figure out why your views result in others wanting to threaten you and evolve them into something more palatable to the society in which you live.

The economy is still horrid for many Americans. That "able bodied, but not working number" has never been higher.

This project doesn't appear to have anything to do with Microsoft other than the fact that it uses .NET.

Your comment is not only uncalled for, it's also very off-topic.
For what it's worth, I thoroughly agree with you.
That's because your governments constitution is viciously flawed compared to Americas, in which a system was established on the idea that we have rights independent of government and the government is only there to protect those rights, and may not infringe those rights. The argument isn't let any particular $hatedgroupofthemoment speak... the argument is that you have no right to presume yourself or anyone else to have the power to silence them in the first place. This is something even Christopher Hitchens talked openly about, and part of the reason he became a citizen. America's form of constitutional democratic republic, while in some disarray at the moment, is quite a unique accomplishment in the annals of history. It's what I consider the non-jingoistic and true basis of American exceptionalism, a term too often used in bandwagon derision.

For good reading on the subject, try this:

Coin exchanges are dealing with plenty of real money for plenty of real people and have real licenses and very real government oversight (at least in places like the US and EU) , so your snark is not very appropriate.

I'll recommend a book published in 1957 The Hidden Persuaders by Vance Packard. Although some of the examples are dated, it takes you through a stream of consciousness about how to "stoke the hivemind"

Pay particular attention to Packard's 8 hidden needs and factor it in structuring your headlines.
Ah I see, Thanks
So then why is the opposite not true of liberals especially in the bay? Just because they are the VAST majority they are allowed to publicly harass, give death threats, silence opinions, shame, witch hunt? It's happening from both sides, but still hypocrisy.

It's much more than a statistical anomaly. It's a rather large group of people, some quite famous and powerful.

Madonna: "I’ve thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House."

Mickey Rourke: "I’ll meet [Trump] in a hotel room any motherf-cking day of the week and give him a Louisville slugger."

Bow Wow: "@realDonaldTrump shut your punk a-- up talking s--t about my uncle @SnoopDogg before we pimp your wife and make her work for us."

Eminem: "And fuck Ann Coulter with a Klan poster. With a lamp post, door handle, shutter. A damn bolt cutter, a sandal, a can opener, a candle, rubber. Piano, a flannel, sucker, some hand soap, butter. A banjo and manhole cover"

Then there's Kathy Griffin's famous photo with a severed "Trump" head, Snoop Dog's video shooting Trump ...

And that's just Hollywood. There's no room here to discuss all the incidents of actual violence, or protesters denying people the right to hear speakers at public universities, etc, etc.

Quite happy about the suggestions for similar APIs here. They’re somehow hard to find in the forest of overpriced professional services.

I am an American adult and was raised in America and I have never heard of anyone admitting to having donuts (or even a donut) for breakfast. But they must...

I guess I just thought people were going to Dunkin Donuts in the morning just to grab a coffee. I mean you've only just gotten up there's no way you've already done something to deserve a donut.
That's a very simplistic interpretation. The article is really worth a read.

This is pretty cool! But I would've liked to see some eval on smaller datasets (or just a graph of BLEU vs training set size), since the main use for something like this is where you don't have parallel data, in which case the monolingual resources are likely to be much smaller too.
A few years back I was trying different methods to create bilingual dictionary word-pair candidates (to be post-edited by a linguist – checking is faster than writing) for Saami languages, and tried aligning pure word vectors, but the existing corpora were too small to get good vectors, so I gave up that avenue :(

Another neat approach is https://www.isi.edu/natural-language/mt/RLILdecipher.pdf , specifically designed for low-resource languages that happen to have a higher-resource related language (e.g. Haitian Creole–French). They train a source language character-based "cipher model" (a weighted finite state transducer that turns source characters/character pairs into target characters/character pairs), to maximise probability over a target language language model.
Solve these and then we'll give you some ideas:

It can have its small benefits to install custom (non-root) certs in Windows 10 to support old hardware,

Thanks to the folks at http://leshcatlabs.net/unifl-unified-leshcat-drivers/ i can put Windows 10 on old laptops with 'unsupported' old AMD and/or Intel gpu's.

Thats what I love about mathematics. Its entirely proof based. And yet the good books strive to give intuition too and show how new ideas and structures can be used.
