Yes you’re 100% correct, but if you’re using a well tuned GPU Deep Learning pipeline the bottleneck is GPU compute and the CPU is always waiting on the GPU.

It can be a bit tricky to optimise this though - some deep learning users do things like resizing images on the fly, or on the fly vectorising / scaling of input data in these cases the CPU can be the bottleneck and the optimisations above can help - but this is largely a symptom of a poor pipeline configuration in newbie shops, most serious places have optimised this away and the GPU is the bottleneck
Yup, that's the one. It closed down eventually but I had the number memorized so I could show it off to people.

EBay started at the opposite end of the spectrum, but they converged to the same problem.

Amazon
"I'm buying from a reputable company, so I can trust that the seller is accurately representing the item."
turned to
"I thought I was buying from an established company, but instead I'm buying from a questionable person that is using Amazon as a level of obfuscation. They are probably hiding something, so I don't trust them."

EBay
"I'm buying from a random person that I don't trust and may be misrepresenting the item, but it looks like they've described all the problems and got the same use from the item as I would like to get, so I'm comfortable with taking a chance."
turned to
"I thought I was buying from a random person, but instead I'm buying from a questionable company that is using Ebay as a level of obfuscation. They are probably hiding something, so I don't trust them."
At least around where I am, the police tend to threaten these people with extreme penalties when arrested in order to get them to give up their supplier in exchange for a much lighter sentence. So decriminalizing small time dealing will make it more difficult to prosecute the people who really are the gangster types.

Regardless of the validity of his site as an example of what he thinks everybody else on the internet needs to do, the two examples are not not in the same ballpark for readability.

Perhaps the female intern should not have had so much to drink. Strange how tolerant we are of abusing alcohol. Imagine if this story was “booted up with the horse, snorted some coke, and did some MDMA.” But, since it’s just booze, well, no big deal at all here.

Companies should stop the practice of mixing drinking with work. Perhaps they should even put in policies such as “you are not allowed to drink with your coworkers.”
I can assure you that such a sentiment has been expressed, and that the discussion is still active.
> What does that mean specifically?

I'm talking about a climate where when a woman claims she's being harassed, the response is to credit the (stated) intent of the person allegedly harassing her ("I was just flirting" or "Can't you take a joke?") over her experience. I don't think it matters what your intent was. If you're making someone — anyone — uncomfortable, that's on you; it's your behavior that caused the discomfort.

Or, when a woman actually does press charges for a rape, the way it generally works out, there's substantial burden-of-proof placed upon her to substantiate her own experience. Yes, even — especially — from the police and prosecution, whose jobs it literally is to do that for her.

> The problem is, many women don't.

Given the above, and the underlying attitudes that give rise to it, can you blame them?

We have a profoundly shitty attitude, as a culture, regarding women and their sexual agency, and the way we treat rape is only a sliver of that.

Grpc is the future, I'm amazed that nobody seems to be using it. Easy endpoint definitions and code generation in almost every popular language. Much faster than REST and zero boilerplate code. The client libraries even have http baked in so no "controllers" or route mapping to write. It's simply fantastic.

If you run into a language without grpc support you just standup a JSON proxy and pretend it's REST.

Making a rape allegation can make you unemployable 20 years in the past? I don’t think causality works this way.

Edit: In case it’s not clear, the link talks about how Weinstein used his influence to harm the careers of Sorvino and Judd (in 1998) after they rejected him (in 1995 and 1997). The accusations of sexual harassment (not rape) have been made in 2017. How does one conclude that making rape allegations can make you unemployable?
It is pejorative (as you know). I could've used a pejorative that didn't have 'drug' in it, for all it matters to this thread.

I don't think anyone is saying that prison labor is in any way reintroducing the economic impact of 18-19th century slave trade. But, as a country, the US:

1) Incarcerates people at a higher rate than any country besides Seychelles

2) Abolished slavery for all persons except prisoners:

"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted..."

Between local, state, and federal prisons, we're looking at roughly 500,000 imprisoned for drug-related offenses[1]. Yes, the labor of these people is a trivial portion of the overall economy, but it still produces huge profit for those running the show: CoreCivic has a market cap of ~$2.6 billion. They exist to extract value from the lives and labors of the people who their institutions keep under lock and key.

There is a direct incentive for these corporations to increase the number of prisoners in the system, and they leverage their power to pursue that incentive, lobbying for and even drafting legislation that enforces three strike and mandatory minimum rules.[2] They are actively pushing governments to imprison more people, and profiting from the resulting state sanctioned slavery.

OK, so I got that wrong with the "certain sites".

But still, the fact that the extension was not active unless you mess around in about:config is a crucial fact, which should not have been omitted in an highly critical article, specially if they use words like "Mozilla, you fucked up bad, and you still haven’t apologised.

Then turn the question back around on itself. If someone wrecks your professional reputation with a rumor, why don't you sue them? Your burden of proof is far lower in a civil defamation suit than the criminal case being advocated here for rape victims.
The add-on doesn't do anything unless you go to about:config and turn it on.
I don't know about WA or King County, specifically, but in many jurisdictions it is statutorily rape to have intercourse with someone who's too intoxicated to meaningfully consent.

Even in those places, her drunkenness is used as a mitigating factor by the defense — and often also the police and prosecutors.

> I see no evidence of women not being allowed to press charges on a mass scale.

Just scratching the surface, consider the massive, systemic backlog of untested rape kits in the US.

Women aren't legally prevented from pressing charges by this maddening lack of cooperation, but in practice many rape cases go unprosecuted because of police indifference or hostility.
I think we could build a simple standard that does the useful parts of layout / CSS and includes a sane scripting language in a reasonable timeframe. It would need to be accessible both for users and developers.

Deaths from overdose vastly under-describes the terrible toll of the drug war. Countless millions of Americans are locked in cages and have their lives destroyed by the "justice" system even if they never overdose. Countless millions of children in the US grow up without parents and subsequently end up as broken people, because their parents were locked in cages for drug-related "crimes". And this doesn't consider the trillions of dollars we have squandered as a nation pursuing the "war on drugs", or the severe damage to our freedom as a people we have suffered via the destruction of our civil liberties in the prosecution of this senseless attempt at drug prohibition.

Let's just all sanely agree that obviously cars are a lot more wheelchair accessible than public transport, with a few small and limited exceptions. And even within those exceptions, public transport does not provide the services a car can give.

Why would police try to solve rape and murder cases when arresting people for drug possession/loitering/panhandling is easier, simpler, and guaranteed? I wish I could add a /sarcasm tag to this, but it is not sarcasm. When normal everyday activities are criminalized and the police is incentivized simply by the number of arrests they make, why wouldn't they go for the low hanging fruit? It's not like police have ethics or honor to guide them. They are a brute force machine of state violence without morals or ethics. Expecting anything but the bare minimum from police is delusional. Hell, most of the time, expecting the bare minimum is delusional. If expecting police not to murder innocent civilians is clearly too high of an expectation--it is in the US--expecting them to solve rape and murder cases is a stratospheric, ridiculous expectation. Not to mention that many citizens are simply terrified of police. How are we, citizens, supposed to keep these thugs in check when they can legally murder us for no reason without any recourse whatsoever? Sure, if it came up on a ballot, I'd vote for reform because a ballot is secret. Expecting people to stand up to police and voice their concerns in public, putting their own lives and the lives of their family in danger in a futile attempt at police reform, is simply too much to ask of ordinary citizens. Also, most of the people that don't fear police aren't even aware of the problems with police. In this way, nothing gets done.
I am not a Firefox user[1], but the thing I am finding it difficult to understand about this brewhaha is:

1. Aside from how it reaches the users machine, is the extension on or off when it gets installed invisibly?

2. If it's off, why push it at all? If the user is expected to give consent at some point down the line for it to be on, why not just have the user actually install the extension at the time of consent, rather than prefetching?

(On the Chemical Agents According to the Four Elements)
Concerning the Use of chemical Agents, and be mindful that thou abuse them not, learn that the Sacrament itself relateth to Spirit, and the Four Elements balanced thereunder in its Perfection.
So also thy Lion himself hath a fourfold Menstruum for his Serpents. Now to Fire belong
Cocaine, which fortifieth the Will, loosing him from bodily Fatigue, Morphine, which purifieth
the Mind, making the Thought safe, and slow, and single, Heroin which partaketh as it seemeth,
of he Nature of these twain aforesaid albeit in Degree less notable than either of them, and
Alcohol, which is Food, that is, Fuel, for the whole Man. To Water, attribute Hashish and
Mescal, for they make Images, and they open the hidden Springs of Pleasure and of Beauty.
Morphine, for its Ease, hath also part in Water. Air ruleth Ethyl Oxide, for it is as a Sword,
dividing asunder ever Part of thee, making easy the Way of Analysis, so that thou comest to
learn thyself of what Elements thou art compact. Lastly, of the Nature of Earth are the direct
Hypnotics, which operate by Repose, and restore thy Strength by laying thee as a Child in the
Arms of the Great Mother, I say rather of Her material and physiological Vicegerent.

94. DE VIRTUTE EXPERIMENTIAE IN HOC ARTE.
(On the Virtue of Experience in this Art)
Not Sleep, not Rest, not Contentment are of the Will of the Hero, but these Things he hateth,
and consenteth to enjoy them only with Same of his weak Nature. But he will analyse himself
without Pity, and he will do all Things soever that may free and fortify his Mind and Will. Know
that the Technick of the Right Use of this Magick with Poisons is subtle; and since the Nature of
every Man differeth from that of his Fellow, there entereth Idiosyncrasy, and thine Experience
shall be thy Master in this Art. Heed also this Word following: The Right Use of these Agents is
to gain a Knowledge preliminary of thine own Powers, and of High States, so that thou goest not
altogether blindly and without Aim in thy Quest, ignorant of the Ways of thine own inner Being.
Also, thou must work always for a definite End, never for Pleasure or for Relaxation, except thy
wilt, as a good Knight is sworn to do. And thou being Hero and Magician art in Peril of abusing
the fiery Agents only, not those of Earth, Air or Water; because these do really work with thee in
Purity, making thee wholly what thou wouldst be, an Engine indefatigable, a Mind clear, calm,
and concentrated, and a Heart fierce aglow.

> ...having been through that SOAP pain it's being compared to, I'd say there's not even a comparison

OK, that is indeed the most usual response to "Why REST?". The main reason why people like REST is "because SOAP". It's a false dichotomy that the industry has fallen for.

Oh, yeah, and you can run the GETs directly in your browser/cURL. I like that part too, but it only gives you so much.

REST is more of a philosophy, than a standard. Hence everyone does it differently, and you have no chance to use the same library to talk REST with multiple different services (unless you make that library an overcomplicated beast).

XMLRPC? It's a universal standard, that is just a few pages long and everyone can grasp it in their lunch break. Nobody would complain that your API is not "XMLRPC enough". It works (almost) the same way everywhere. You can get the XMLRPC library that's been built in since Python 2.2 and be reasonably sure that you are going to be able to talk to a random modern XMLRPC API. You'd have other such libraries for every major language. Ditto for JSONRPC, if XML sounds too scary (though it doesn't really matter much - it's a mostly transparent implementation detail).

I'd wish people would stop bringing up SOAP as an excuse for REST. Yes, it was worse, but that does not mean that REST is particularly good.

Even in those places, her drunkenness is used as a mitigating factor by the defense — and often also the police and prosecutors.

That is probably at least in part because men and women both routinely drink in order to get past personal sexual hang-ups in a quick and dirty fashion so they can get laid at all, hang-ups that would take years of therapy to really fix. So voluntarily choosing to drink with or in the company of a member of the opposite sex can be reasonably interpreted as intent to try to get yourself laid.

This is part of why people vehemently object when I (a woman myself) suggest things like "In order to protect themselves, women should not drink under x, y and z circumstances."
