Cool tutorial! It's great to see examples of people building models that are designed to be run in real time on the Raspberry Pi.

This post reminds me that I really need to find time to update the RPi TensorFlow Github repo. The TensorFlow team is making progress on official support- check out their nightly binaries here:

People shouldn't complain about the sorry state of the US health care system because... other people have it worse?

> I wasn't going to respond to your comment

Maybe you should have trusted your gut on that one.
As always, the issue is credibility. Among the small group of reality-based people in the US, the government has absolutely no credibility. Unless and until independently verifiable proof of their assertion is released, nobody with a shred of intelligence or critical thinking skills should believe anything they say. This is especially true when they want to slaughter countless numbers of people based on an unsupported assertion.
> PHP and Python have had SOAP libraries for a decade but they require considerably more effort to even consume SOAP. I have never tried to stand up a SOAP Service with them but I can't imagine it's any good.

I've tried suds and zeep. They both didn't really work in my specific cases. My strategy from now on is to write a bit of code in Visual C#, then analyze the xml traffic, and then generate that same XML using Python/PHP. The SOAP protocol is actually pretty simple once you know how it works.

SOAP has a lot of problems, but it's pretty amazing that you don't need a client side library to use it in Visual C#.
but... why do I have to?

"there's no need to remove the crapware bundled with [pick one: Android, Windows, Ubuntu] since nothing happens until you click the button. Removing the button itself is as simple as [opening the Settings, opening Control Panel, apt-get remove]." mozilla is in a seriously bad spot if it's lowering itself to the level of Acer, HP & co bundling crapware to the brim.
Thanks for another example, and the specifics of this one.

From what you've said it doesn't sound like anyone at Mozilla (specifically the Chief Marketing Officer representing the company) apologized for doing anything wrong. "letting down" comes closest for sure and may be enough for most.
You are correct, CORONA only did 6 m. The replacement GAMBIT achieved 0.6 m by 1966, so not far off.

Obviously street level data is always better, but from a governmental standpoint I don't believe China has effectively denied us anything we care about. Wifi capture happens over other countries at 25,000 feet from MQ-9's, so we could probably do it in China if we cared enough.

You kind of missed the entire point of the statement.
The initial response published by Gizmodo neither apologizes nor says the plugin will be removed:

> “Firefox worked with the Mr. Robot team to create a custom experience that would surprise and delight fans of the show and our users. It’s especially important to call out that this collaboration does not compromise our principles or values regarding privacy. The experience does not collect or share any data,” Jascha Kaykas-Wolff, chief marketing officer of Mozilla, said in a statement to Gizmodo. “The experience was kept under wraps to be introduced at the conclusion of the season of Mr. Robot. We gave Mr. Robot fans a unique mystery to solve to deepen their connection and engagement with the show and is only available in Firefox.”

This new apology -- from the same person! -- now claims that their values were compromised, but it doesn't say so in a way that acknowledges that they previously felt differently, or explains what caused them to change their mind, which leaves it feeling dishonest.

> But you're ignoring the fact that Facebook is effectively the first opportunity in history for a universal "push" mechanism for friendship.

Not really. Actual "social networks" have done that for millenia. They even include a much smarter filtering system than Facebook's: unimportant information dies out quickly, and people are told or not told about events based on human judgment. Ah, well... this is what we have now.

There are countries such as Norway and Australia that provide free healthcare. From their point view, taking into account the ludicrous amount of money that the US possesses, the comment is definitely not without merit.
You could actually simplify even more with the trick used in a comment farther down (https://github.com/0101/pipetools). That way you would implement __or__ on for example `pipe` and not have to wrap each function.

As it turns out, implementing that different syntax in pyfunctional wouldn't be too hard or API breaking I think. Mainly it would require 1) wrapping/exporting functions to a module you could bring into scope (eg `from functional import functions as F` or `from functional.functions import *`), 2) Writing wrapper code to provide something functionally similar to `pipe`.

On libraries, I swear I saw something a while back, but my googlefu just now didn't help me find it.

The worst thing about the Facebook feed is that it shows me the LIKES of my friends. I don't want to see their goddamn likes. I want to see their posts.

This is the one thing that made me so angry, especially during the election. I thought they were posting things onto their feed that was overly political, but then I realized all they were doing was liking things. It's not their fault.

Facebook needs to get rid of the Likes from my friends from my stream. It's the worst part of the feed and the least useful.

Yep, that’s the law in question.

I have a friend and his father who was involved in pump and dump schemes on the stock market decades ago. They probably netted over $1 million during the dot com boom. This one might not be true, but there certainly are pumpers and dumpers working on cryptocurrencies.
Out of compassion (and possibly not wanting to get sued), doctors and pharmacies will provide you will lifesaving medicine in the US, no matter your ability to pay. I have seen this happen in pharmacies and have firsthand experience with this happening in emergency medicine.

Typically you'll be given the insulin and asked to pay later or it will be quietly written off as lost, expired, or just the cost of doing business. The pharmacists I knew we're more than willing to give a free vial if it was crucial and deal with payment later(or in many cases never). Repeat offenders are directed towards programs where they can get insulin at discount or for free. Despite the healthcare system being fucked, letting someone die without insulin is a bad PR move so the giant companies that make it will give it away if necessary (but you have to sign up and pass income checks).

Still, this is mostly just human compassion I've seen. Doctors and pharmacists I've known are generally very helpful and nurturing people. You make a lot of money but there's easier ways to make the same if human compassion isn't your thing. If this wasn't the case I assume many would die, because it doesn't seem that the government provides any protection against this.

The US medical system is corrupt and FUBAR but this is not a good example. I've worked low level jobs around retail pharmacy and emergency medicine and seen this happen firsthand many times. Healthcare providers in the US are of fairly high quality and generally will not let you die. Most of the insane costs and profiteering are focused around drug pricing, countless layers of nonsense surrounding insurance and pricing structures, and the need for hospitals to charge some people a lot to make up for the huge fraction that don't or can't pay.
I find that truth of the grandparent's statement for any arbitrary government bureaucracy tends to correlate with the sum of all government bureaucracies in that place are. The more government bureaucracies are present the worse they all are.

Having lived in several US states the ones that "do the most" for their population tend to be the worst to work with.

You might not have many options for state healthcare assistance in some flyover state but if you qualify it won't be maze of bureaucracy. This trickles down to everything from the town hall to the DMV.

The plan wasn't to get into orbit with the gun alone. They had designed shells that had rocket motors in them, to get them to orbital velocity. The gun was simply the first stage.

The critical problem with using a gun though, is the sheer amount of force applied when firing the gun. They couldn't even get dummy payloads to work correctly, the rockets motors warped due to the forces involved.
Correct. The term they should have used is "developing country".
The most important thing to productivity is 'constancy of purpose'. If you are working on something of decent consequence to your financial or career situation, using techniques like this acts as catalyst to your productivity.

I disagree. There should always be an effort to do more with less. This should be ingrained into our dna in business and in government.

Every healthcare system rationalizes spending. The US system lets low income people die because they can't afford something as basic as insulin. The NHS rationalizes on £90,000 recently-out-of-trial cancer treatments.

As I see all of these US blames North Korea and or Russia half of me thinks that it's a PR organization that tells them who to blame.
Disclaimer - I'm an Asian American living in Hong Kong.

As someone who is American born and raised, I notice a LOT of cultural differences in SEA (South East Asia) and China.

One thing in particular I notice is a desire for "the ubiquitous Asian pretty girl face". Korean pop stars are the most famous for having their facial features so alike that they start to look extremely similar, but having having a selfie photoshopped internet face is actually a strong need felt by the majority of the girl population here.

The question I have: is it a short faze or does it have some longevity? How long will it last? I'll just give out some tentative thoughts:

1. The US has a relatively static class structure compared to Asia. With class signaling items like fashion, luxury, and outward appearance - the US in general derives little value from this because you don't have much social mobility anyways so it doesn't mean much. But in China, 90% of the population was poor 30 years ago. Over 300 million people are now middle class, and another 200 million people will be added by 2022. Class signalling items catch on very fast, and the market size keeps increasing.

2. The value system here is just different. The absence of American values - independence and freedom of speech - is very noticeable. Here there's a strong sense of group think, as if society as a whole agreed to some universal social norms or rules. "You should do this, you shouldn't do that" are normal things that you'll hear in conversations with friends. Sticking out or being different creates a strong reaction of fear and insecurity.

3. There's a strange position for "taste". The appreciation of things - culture, music, art, beauty - seems to be dwarfed by the value those things represent. Maybe I am reading too much into it, but taste seems to follow signalling, not the other way around. For example - the pretty Asian face - it seems to be much more about signalling than taste.

To summarize my thoughts, a combination of class mobility, growing audiences, and cultural values leads me to think services like this will continue to see success and it may take a generation (10-12 years) before cultural values shift in a different direction.
If you cosleep you don’t end up sleep deprived at all. The first year of my daughters life was a joy and super easy. The worst part was the three days when we weaned but she was already 2. 99% of our nights were full sleep, my wife commented on how it was amazing that the baby didn’t eat at night, but what was actually happening was my wife would automatically roll over and feed her when she’d fuss a little bit. Western society still clings to these Victorian notions of child rearing that makes everything absurdly difficult.
I wrote web scrapers as my daily work. For so many times, people(coworkers) just came to me saying "Hi, can you scrape this site for me?", however, what they want might just be `extracting` some table out of a login-protected page. It made no sense to simulate the login in a script or something and extract it by xpath or css. So I just came up with a Chrome Extension(100 SLOC) that tries to extracting the main table from a web page, then you can copy the table to Excel or anything you like. It's kinda like Readability, but only for tables, not articles.

I have a 45W 9TB fileserver at home (5x3TB disks, RAID-6), which costs me around $5/month in electricity. Plus another $10 for the Crashplan backup.

I'm using around 3TB of space on it currently, which would cost around $70/month in S3 or $12/month in Glacier (in reality I'd use a combination of S3/Glacier so my costs would be somewhere between $12 and $70/month)

Granted, the hardware costs me around $25/month amortized over 3 years but my internet speed isn't fast enough (or unlimited enough) to let cloud storage be a viable replacement of a local fileserver.
You completely sidestepped the issue at hand:

You can choose to opt out of Chrome's phoning home in the privacy settings and they haven't tried to revert those settings in an update (and given their track record, I have no reason to believe they will try to surreptitiously change the settings in a future release)

"C language is so simple and powerful that I think it's worth suffering the bad syntax and memory leak just to be more fluent and be able to utilize the machine's power fully."

Pick the right tool for the right job, man.

Joking aside, think about the ratio of tasks. Most of the git commands I do is deadly simple. There might be once-in-a-year complex tasks that are more suitable to CLI, but for 99% of the tasks I think GUI could have a net gain in total. Although I'm not a GUI user in this particular case, I'd advocate to use whatever most intuitive to you when possible.

Disclaimer: I don't think C syntax is that bad.

I strongly believe the many appeals of music is deeply related to many brain functions.

As a drummer, polyrythms have altered the way I sense space, balance and time.

Playing sophisticated patterns requires fine quantization of time and distributed coordination in all limbs. When you reach this you basically become better at many kinds of kinematics. You have finer control of each movements and a more abstract interpretation of the balance and state of all your limbs. It's not hard to see how valuable this would be for an animal.

Learning harmonization also tickles the brain deeply (try to isolate a 7th counterpoint like melody and enjoy the bliss).
These discussions with responses from Mozilla employees demonstrate that hasn't always been the case (I'm not 100% sure the add-on settings tracking is opt-in at this point, it appears to have been fixed to follow the 'Do Not Track' setting) and show a bit more of the mindset of the company. They want to have their cake and eat it too.

Be positive in your reviews and don't complain or be negative, focus on you. Discuss your accomplishments and skills/progress in the context of your groups goals and your overall companies goals. While doing that discuss/remind your boss of what you've done and how you've contributed to these team goals. Ideally, you've done this for the whole year so your review is a summary of what you've already discussed with your manager this year. In practice you've probably not done that so it's hard to provide a comprehensive summary without any notes or previous discussions to reference. So that being said you should focus on your work and your long term career goals in the context of how you can make your bosses job easier/more productive, likewise for the company.
