I'm glad you hit the main points, but you did not offer any solutions, and I think partial encryption is one that is really important to lay out. Our social security numbers and valued information (that cannot be changed, like where you were born) need to be encrypted all the time, not just when convenient.
You'd think a relatively authoritarian government would be able to stop people from doing this sort of thing. It's kind of amusing, from that perspective

As I understood it you are making the argument that they will have information about you from uploading this picture even if they delete the actual picture. I'm genuinely asking if it is possible to recover an individual training example from a model which is shown vast amounts of data. I'm only aware of being able to recover stuff like this - https://ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/1-s2.0-S08936080173020... which is hardly PII
Under the EU GDPR (eg https://www.eugdpr.org/) it appears that they'll need explicit consent to retain the data (all of it, anything related and traceable to the person) and users will both have a right to view it and to have it deleted.
This. Fake data should always be returned, unless explicit permission is granted for real data.

Here's one way to look at it: A graph database can be reflected with common, well-understood data structures. You can use a lot of backends to represent those data structures.

Graph database projects are often times just an adapter for doing Graph queries on-top of another store.

At their core, a graph database can be reflected simply with just documents and adjacency lists https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjacency_list

100% is really farfetched more like 30%
As of the latest update macOS has started to nag me to allow automatic updates, so I think the comparison is probably valid.

FWIW I told it No, for the same reason my Win10 laptop has been nagging me to update but I've not let it install for a month - until I've finished whatever work I'm doing I'm not going to let a possibly badly written patch stack the OS and leave me rebuilding the machine from scratch (yes - I'm looking at you Windows - TWICE) or dealing with whatever beta-level release macOS is going to throw out that breaks remote access etc. that I need on my build server.
You give them important projects to lead, and give them bigger budgets to manage those projects.
It would be great if we get C++ on Jupyter. At the moment, I use Org Babel to do these kinds of things. It's a halfway solution.

JS had first class functions from the beginning, which I think is one of the major things necessary for FP. Compare that with a language like Java, which did not, and I think still doesn't (lambda's aren't quite the same).

JS doesn't really support traditional inheritance either, so describing it as OO seems odd to me.
For some baseline comparison, salaries usually account for 20-30% of revenue for a company (not profit).

Netflix employs about 3500 people, with a revenue of ~$11b. That ratio would put the average salary at 630k - 940k.
Face Book
I would really like a camera that would log when deer, or other wildlife aside from squirrels, are in my backyard.
I'm not sure the correlation is technical proficiency by itself, I think it's based upon a critical mass of your social circles using iMessage or not using iMessage. If you choose to, you can probably make a correlation between "technical savviness" and a user's choice between Android and Apple, but I don't think that is a deciding factor in who uses iMessage.

The reason people throw fits is because the experience between a group messaging together on iMessage is exceptional - this experience breaks down when even one of your friends in the chat doesn't have an Apple product. They aren't able to send or receive the majority of the "chat add ons" iMessage provides. I'm sure making the bubbles green vs. blue only helps to stoke the "us vs. them" fire.

I consider myself to be a reasonably technical user and still prefer to message with iMessage since I know the experience will be the same for everyone I'm chatting with. Yes, we _could_ all start using WhatsApp et al, but if 8/9 of our group message is on iMessage, why would we?
Yes, and if the writer of this article had their way it would be far worse.
I've sent and received money with Western Union... where does it take 40% commission or one week?

It takes about 10% commission at most and it's same-day.

Definitely can be improved upon but you're exaggerating.

Plus, bitcoin has huge friction for people unfamiliar with it - Western Union's network is great.

misrepresents the idea of the service. It's supposed to tackle the 'revenge porn' issue. If someone sees their own nudes show up on facebook, they can send a picture to facebook, which I assume get's fed into an image detection service that then tries to remove the already circulating nudes automatically.

That matches what I sussed out growing up with a high functioning older brother and friends of his, also special needs. Some things they understood or could do easily as anyone else. Others not so much. interestingly one of my brothers friends could spell and write perfectly, way above average for his age.

My assumption was some parts of they brains didn't develop normally which made it much more difficult for them to learn certain tasks. I've also run into people that have other deficits, friend didn't drive because of spacial deficits. But had a PhD in math. Bonus my brother drives.
Yep, I called it. Humans will be the bugs in your code.

I'm curious why you use your choice of OS/hardware to cast a tiny vote on the behavior of a vast corporation, instead of simply choosing the OS/hardware that you prefer. For me, the choice of laptop is too important for me to choose a worse laptop for those reasons.

The model we released today is not yet optimized for smaller devices like that, but our plan is to make it usable on targets like the RPi3.

AWS is a drug dealer.
Yeah, but it's hard to tell the difference if worded correctly. It could just be a button saying "send us random money". It doesn't have to be explicitly for piracy.
Granted, but (AFAICT) in this case the database was doing a full table scan because it didn’t think the index was in memory. Checking to see whether the index itself is already loaded seems like something the query planner in principle ought to be able to do efficiently. (Obviously the existing codebase might make it difficult.)
Not really small business, but similar: side project building stock trading robots with simple Python scripts + my stock exchange broker free API...

Yes, but that to subset is what, like, a couple hundred thousand of the best paid engineers? Halving their salary in a survey is going to make its results almost meaningless.
I think we'd need both "assumed value of options", and "Actual value of options when they were realized"
Not to discredit, but that's a lot less significant.
If you know those tools exist, maybe. I just put together a new project using cloudformation (technically serverless, but it turned into 90 percent cloudformation syntax anyways), and it was pretty rough.
Yeah, this makes me sad. I mostly listen to music when I'm working, and hearing the same mix of 50 "top hits" gets tiring really fast. 45-60 minutes of music that has some similarity and continuity is WAY better.

I agree that New York in particular (and also London) is also full of silver tongued charlatans, and that has a lot to do with the culture and cocaine of finance/ad-tech firms.
There was a 4 hour stretch this morning in which Bitcoin lost over 20% of its value. In the last 45 minutes it is up 13%. I wonder what a long straddle would cost on this thing.
Came here to post this. To me it shows the gap between Azure and the non-enterprise world. Azure did this awhile back, as well as the managed k8s thing, neither of which got much run on HN.

Perhaps Azure needs to work on marketing? Is there a legitimate reason Azure isn't getting more traction in the non-enterprise world? I mean that as a totally serious question, not in a dickish way. Is it because it has the Microsoft name attached to it or just because AWS has so much traction?

As always, full disclosure that I work at MSFT as well.
Pre-programmed spy cars. Ya, that's going to go over great.
How did you get started learning about how trading strategies?
If you rear-end a vehicle that's established in your lane, it's always your own fault, no exceptions. It's your job to follow at a safe stopping distance. The other cars can be blamed for disputing traffic, sure, but you as a driver are responsible for always following at a safe distance and assuming every other car could slam on their brakes at any time.
Most of the time you don't need pixel-level classification. Suppose you want to make a cat tracker. How small can you shrink an HD image and still reliably detect a cat (using your own brain)? Pretty small. Probably less than a quarter of the size at least. Do you need colour? Often you can get away without it, so that's a third of the data gone too. For full-image classification you could go even smaller and still be accurate.
I doubt iOS lets a custom contacts app respond to a request from another app for contacts though. It'll presumably respond empty data (since they have no contacts in the native app), but with no option to give it the actual contacts if you wanted to.
What data about people would apply? What about public records? Note that if you own property, your name and address are already public.

So, a new Infobitt?
This was my experience as well. I disliked dogs all throughout my teens. I thought they were dirty, smelly, annoying, etc. Then during college, my dad and sister (who both love dogs) decided to get an Old English Sheepdog. He was the most in-your-face, helpless dog, always needing someone to wipe his chin or pay attention to him. He was incredibly affectionate, and would literally shove his snout under someone's arm to force them to pet/hug him. After him, I was sold.

Well, I feel better for only doing ~4 hours of real work then. I take breaks often for socializing/HN/car forums. Plus meetings and interruptions.

But I can produce just as much as some other developers, so I really see no incentive to do more work unless it's clear I will get more recognition for it, rather than just more work to do.
Double your budget.

From parent's link:

> There is no such thing as an objective highlight.

So by that logic, all documentation of anything is subjective, since it necessarily omits some details that someone, somewhere might consider relevant. That seems like a bottomless rabbit-hole and a means of avoiding debate. Are there any better standards for evaluating bias instead?
Only if there isn't competition. Odds are that they won't be competing with Uber, but some other self driving service that would likely have a higher quality ride. Perception is important - just look at how people have switched from Uber to Lyft where they can.
No, the alternative is a design pattern called Façade, i.e. having the new backend support the old API via a translation layer either in the SDKs or in the infrastructure layer.

That only applies to Europe. The question is whether the data is valuable enough to Facebook to spend the time to add `if (europe)` to their code.

The 16gb constraint is from the Intel processor. Have to wait.
I can sort of acquiesce here, due to me being a data point of one applying a theory to a userbase of millions.

But since they likely spend more time as one version of themselves - when no camera is pointed at them - and less time as the on-camera version, I'd argue that the latter is less authentic.

It's a bit like using alcohol (ie, the camera) as a crutch to give yourself permission to loosen up in social situations. It gets the job done but I'd argue it's not authentic.
In Germany 30-60%. Higher in the big expensive cities (Berlin, Munich).
"4. An attitude of "data maximisation" is causing services to request extensive personal information well beyond the scope of what is needed to provide that service. That data is usually then retained for perpetuity thus adding to an individual's overall risk."

And HIBP is an example of this attitude because it collects data dumps and then (at least) collects and retains user-submitted email addresses and a record of presence/absence of such "live" email addresses in the data dumps. This is beyond the scope of what is needed to provide the service, namely, copies of the data dumps available for download. The user need not share their search terms with any third party, such as HIBP. A means to search these dumps locally (offline) without sharing the searches with third parties such as HIBP exists. "Online tools" are vectors for gathering the sort of data that is later the subject of "data breaches". Offline tools do not suffer from this problem.

"6. Data breaches are redistributed extensively. There's an active trading scene exchanging data both for monetary gain and simply as a hobby; people collect (and thus replicate) breaches."

HIBP is collecting and thus replicating data breaches for "monetary gain" or "simply as a hobby"? Or is it something else?

As above, HIBP does not provide users with the data dumps they need to check them locally (offline) without submitting contributing more data to third parties in the process (e.g., working email addresses, associated search terms, associated originating IPs, etc.).

Further, users are not provided with transparency into what HIBP is doing i.e., what it is storing and how and where it is stored. Users cannot evaluate the security practices of HIBP as yet another online repository of sensitive user data that by virtue of its existence could be a target.

In summary, what he is not telling US Congress is that 1. "online services" or so-called "online tools", HIBP being one, are a major part of the problem and 2. there are alternative solutions, i.e., offline service and offline tools, and what HIBP provides is an excellent example of where an online service is unnecessary and is collecting large amounts of user data, unnecessarily.

Addendum: "What I'm telling you" is that I believe the problem is data collection. Any "solution" which collects data, and in this case data it is not supposed to have (e.g., a data breach), then collects more data (e.g., metadata) from users and finally asks users to trust the "new collector" is not a solution, IMO. Especially where the new collector shares no technical details about his operation (e.g. storage of user data). This practice ignores simple, obvious solutions to the problem of data collection, such as performance of tasks offline which if performed online would likely lead to the collection of user data. It reinforces the mindset that perpetuates the problem: that data collection and trusting third parties is always necessary.
And so does terraform which is pretty awesome!

I haven't bought a physical album or digital song in years. Most of my friends haven't either. I am always shocked whenever I see an album sell over 1 million in the first week. These labels have to be buying their own music, there is no other explanation.

I went out to lunch with someone who knew their way around it, and I was surprised how far you could walk underground. It's kind of cool, too, because it feels like a secret, because it feels half-baked (e.g. one of the parts went through the loading area of Union Station).
There's a lot that can go wrong, which is why writing testable code and then /actually/ testing it, matters so much.
Can someone explain if / how this prevents someone from just changing a single pixel and thus circumventing the hash? Are they using some kind of probabilistic hashing? Or are they just relying on the offenders to not be so clever?
There's a real case for the market. Bitcoin miners can short the futures contract and turn "use dollars to buy electricity and mining gear for bitcoins later with ??? prices" into "dollars now for bitcoins later at who-cares prices that nets out the short bitcoin position that gave us dollars now".
If you're actually right your side shouldn't have to play dirty with rhetoric and appeals to emotion to get your way (except maybe to counter an opposition that's doing so).

People as a group might not make great decisions the first time around but speaking society figures it out eventually. Usually the group that's promoting education and telling people to draw their own conclusions is the one that's right in the long term.
New Orleans, South Florida, have much more aggressive driving cultures. Bay Area is also kind of average in comparison to much of the northeast.
In that case it's not the person obeying the law that's endangering anyone, it's everybody else.

Your argument is an excuse irresponsible drivers use to justify being reckless and endangering others.

Safety aside, you couldn't expect people to consistently drive over the speed limit due to the constant speeding fines and licence loss alone. Speed cameras don't care if you were "going with the traffic".
Interesting. Seems like some birds can lift a lot of weight though like a hawk carrying a rabbit.
That's likely the reason for the skew. They are trying to retain engineers past the typical time on site.

I can't find exact numbers on Snips.ai, but generally there's a linear relation between the size of the inference model in RAM and the accuracy it can obtain.

The way the author compares adoption rates of Cable vs DSL is disingenuous. They are not comparable, because not everyone who can subscribe to cable internet is within range of quality DSL signals. There are limitations that slow adoption that do not come from regulation of any kind.

You can not be "for" net neutrality but "against" Title II in the current context, as striking down Title II without creating separate neutrality legislation eliminates all legally codified net neutrality, and the current administration has zero interest in doing that.

Hangin' out the passenger side

in my experience, a couple reasons:

1. It's far easier to raise money from VCs if you are located in SV/SF vs anywhere else in the country.

2. Once you raise that money, the only thing you are going to spend it on is employees. Infrastructure costs, real estate costs, etc, are comparatively cheap.

3. People starting companies rarely look around and decide where they should strategically be located based on costs. A few do, including my last company which was located in baltimore, but not many. Most people want to start their companies where they already live, and have a network for hiring, etc.

These 3 things, and probably others, lead to a significant amount of new companies getting started in SF/SV.
Awww what a shame.
