Not that it's destined to go back to the lender, but that the blockchain can limit the amount that someone like coinbase can loan out, and/or make the amount that they are loaning out public and verifiable.

Then I can decide as a user if I want to hold my currency in a "bank" that loans out 70% of their assets, or one that loans out 10% of their assets.
"The process of incorporating machine learning into an application often involves a team of experts tuning and tinkering for months with inconsistent setups. Businesses and developers want an end-to-end, development to production pipeline for machine learning"

This seems to be a complete pipeline, including deployment to production. Edit: DataRobot too, I misread. Edit2: DataRobot seems to offer a "codeless" approach. Thanks for sharing, I'll check it out.

it seems clearly ok to sell managed services on open source platform x.

the question in amazons case is that since they sell the infrastructure, they can and probably do undercut any competing providers by charging themselves less.

so, it seems monopolistic. otoh their service is good and their customers get at least reasonable prices. so ... ?

Mr. Pai's personal entanglements with Verizon aside, didn't the previous regulatory scheme only exist from 2010 on? Or was there prior regulation that the "FCC Open Internet Order of 2010" superceded? I'm asking because some comments seem to suggest the answer is "Yes, we already had this in another form before 2010" but there's scant mention of it on Wikipedia.
One good example use case would be running distributed NoSQL / KV stores. Running say a Riak KV cluster or an image caching and processing service. Both of these would probably be best using SSD EBS's to be able to bring the data storage and computing closer together rather than using RDS or similar, which in certain use cases it can be significantly faster due to less network calls and latency. As an example setup, Rancher has a plugin to allow using docker data volumes from EBS volumes. It handles the naming, attaching the drives to the EC2 instance, etc.
Sexting is quite common about young adults and so is the subsequent sharing of those photos. Being able to stop that from happening is incredibly valuable.

It would be useful to know your workload or primary services used (EC2, CloudFront, RDS, S3...) in order to point to advice.

My top 3:

- Buy reserved EC2/RDS/Elasticache capacity - this can be done even with no upfront payment, but you save more with up-front payment. This will save you roughly 30-60%.
- Use spot instances.
- For S3, use Reduced Redundancy storage where appropriate.

They will be there but they won't be autonomous. Not now, probably not ever.

They will be remote monitored and remote controllable.

Instead of having a driver per car you will have a team in some control center that monitors all the driverless cars and can take over if any get into trouble.

Full autonomous is a pipe-dream, but cars are a symbol of freedom in America, and just the idea of giving up control to a computer is enough to put off most people.

If people knew that autonomous cars will require giving full remote control to a corporation or government agency the idea would be dead in the water, so this part is kept in the fine print.
Amazon want to have their voice-recording and person tracking capabilities in as many places as possible, tracking as many people as possible.

Instead of using tables "Roles, Users, UserRoles, Actions, RoleActions" or whatever model you've come up with in the past, think in terms of graphs:

Person P [IS IN] Role R

Action A [IS IN] Role R

Now you can match a person to actions and using a query language like Cypher (Neo4J), it's very easy.

I've found this to be vastly more efficient than using a relational or document database.

I have an implementation of Identity Server 3 with the back end store in Neo4J and it's so much easier than managing a SQL back end.
> which wasn't published until the patch was available

answered your own question?

They knew the patch would be quick and was in progress, why bring extra attention to it. A few tech blogs and devs on twitter is good enough.
I thought it was clear enough that I mean't that it's obvious why [Facebook will never implement it even in countries where it already exists]. It's not in their interest to do so, because it's not in their interest to protect the privacy of their users.
Not as easily. There is a reason all the banks are based in NYC. Recruitment and networking is as easy as walking across the street.

This is a bit alarmist. I develop a popular app that has no advertising but I still ship mixpanel and crashlytics. I do that because I need to know how people are using the app in order to make the app better. That's it. If the app crashes and I don't know about it then I can't fix it and my users would hate me. Without these tools the apps would be worse.

The backlash here shows that Uber has already been found guilty in the eyes of the public, the case isn't resolved.

Waymo have a team of lawyers too, and they can't all be saints. They are in this to win and set back a competitor's efforts.

In terms of shady stuff, do you remember how this case surfaced? Waymo was emailed Uber's design files by "accident." That's shady from day one on Waymo's side.

Sure will do, mostly I've been training squirrel recognition models on my laptop and also learning what it takes to run those models on the raspberry pi (low frame rates) with OpenCV. I did also buy one of these though https://www.adafruit.com/product/997 so once I get everything running I may also have videos of squirrels being sprayed by the garden hose :)
For average use, coming from the perspective of a traditional combustion engine user, that falls squarely in my "hey, not bad!" area of judgement. That's about 100 miles less than a full tank on my Subaru, and I don't think I would have to adjust my day-to-day routine at all to compensate for that. Even road trips wouldn't be uncomfortable in this range.
Great points. I'm glad to see this WikiTribune and will try to support it, but it's producing more leaves when what we actually need is an easy way to navigate the branches. Ialready have access to a variety of news sources and though I like the collaborative approach on display here what's really missing are better semantic tools for parsing existing news.

Increasingly, I feel the web annotations standard might point a way forward because it offers people a way to share information about content that's not under control of the publisher. Of course, this will generate a flood of low-quality garbage of the sort found on conspiracy sites, but it also allows for the creation of federated graphs that point back to primary sources, and my bet is that structural integrity will eventually count for more than startle value.

I don't disagree about the necessity of being able to force updates for bugs of this severity. I'm simply pointing out that, when Microsoft does forced updates, people lose their minds with outrage.

You could argue that severity plays a role in the level opposition to such a feature however severity is an arbitrary assessment applied by the person issuing the update.

Automation will take over very quickly, humans and machines won't share for long.

There's a tipping point where only people who want to drive will still do so which will likely make the insurance costs for those drivers very expensive because they're driving among automated vehicles which increases consequences of bad driving. (Fully automated, machines can talk to each other to avoid collisions).

This increased cost of insurance will encourage more people to switch to automated which will further encourage switching.

That tipping point is probably a relatively small percentage before it starts snowballing. All it takes is to get to a point where automated drivers are safer enough than driver-based that they can be insured significantly cheaper.

It won't take long after 95%+ of people are automated with the remaining 5% causing 90%+ of accidents for manual driving to be banned or shunned as a socially unacceptable risk like smoking.

I predict this will happen within 30 years.

Urs Holzle of Google said the following at Structure a couple weeks back: "You don't want to have a self-driving car that depends on an uplink for its driving ability. Vehicle to vehicle communication has to be a plus not a required."

As with detailed maps, other types of information would probably improve the overall safety and reliability of an autonomous vehicle. But, at some level, it needs to be able to drive on its own based on the environment it can directly sense.

Indeed! I have recently been trying to come up with a new term to use instead of "identity theft" (open to suggestions). As the term itself seems almost Orwellian to me.

My identity wasn't stolen! You gave a loan/credit card/whatever to someone and didn't verify who they were. How is your organization not doing the proper work a "theft" of my identity? I'm not involved and I don't want to be!

Lots of companies are quite good at handling security vulnerabilities, but somehow still neglect to reply to the original reporter.

Usually there's a long chain of people involved in creating tickets, allocating resources, finding the bug, fixing the bug, QA, release processes, documenting the problem, making security bulletins, translating security bulletins, etc.

Each of those people communicates via internal processes the reporter doesn't have access to, and none of them think to ping the original reporter saying 'yo - bugfix complete, qa next, then release'
Numerous systems that scrutinize IP-based geolocation information already throw up additional security checks when detecting changes.

The Death of Contingency Recruiting
The key is to work remotely for a SV company but live in a cheap small town (this is a humblebrag). Higher salary, no Valley real estate madness, no freeway nightmares, placid country bumpkin existence preserved. I do have to bite the bullet and travel down to that blighted land a few times a year though.
Our goal is to for the majority of virtualized EC2 instances to be indistinguishable from bare metal (if not better). In most CPU and memory intensive benchmarks there is very little difference between an virtualized EC2 instance and bare metal, especially for smaller numbers of cores and memory sizes.
Real estate is very expensive in CA. It has nothing to do with owning, rents are crazy expensive as well.

As a side note, even in less expensive areas, US salaries are way higher than European ones. I make probably 4 to 5 times what I would earn in Europe, but I also pay for more stuff that is usually almost "free" in Europe.

Not quite though, as you get zero benefits or job security with that- in the UK you’d need to knock off 4 weeks of vacation, a couple of weeks for additional training, maybe a week or 2 for sick leave, and then budget a month or so between contracts. Plus buy your own laptop, fund your own retirement fund/pension etc. Plus it can be harder to get credit if your contract can be terminated at any notice.

And your next contract might go down, which is unlike a salary. and you’re exempt from climbing the ladder to a corporate position where the really big bucks are.

So all told it’s probably more like 150-180k/year

This McLuhan quote seems quite relevant and prescient to this thread:

>Since Sputnik and the satellites, the planet is enclosed in a manmade environment that ends "Nature" and turns the globe into a repertory theater to be programmed. Shakespeare at the Globe mentioning "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players" (As You Like It, Act II, Scene 7) has been justified by recent events in ways that would have struck him as entirely paradoxical. The results of living inside a proscenium arch of satellites is that the young now accept the public spaces of the earth as role-playing areas. Sensing this, they adopt costumes and roles and are ready to "do their thing" everywhere.

My org is looking to move machine learning to batch as the underlying infra.

All I want is to be able to do this:
1) specify a DAG of tasks. Each task is a docker image, CMD string, CPU and memory limits
2) hit an API to run it for me. Each task runs on a new spot instance
3) be able to query this service about the state of the DAG and of each individual node

Sounds like if AWS provides an API to create a batch cluster (or whatever you call it) and lets the tasks be defined in terms of what docker image to run with what command you'll satisfy this desire
