What about taking into account the societal benefit from participation in clinical trials? Farber would have never discovered what became curative chemotherapy for pediatric leukemia if it weren't for the ability to try to cure what pediatricians had dismissed as hopeless cases.
Do you really find all media to be equally rewarding? So that you are not tempted to rank sources / content and draw a line in the sand, cutting away the obvious dross?

I'm age 60, but have lived/worked in/on the net since modem bulletin boards were hot. I have no problem culling way more than 99% of what's e-published or e-shared, revisiting only a few reliable e-sources daily. If I've learned anything in my decades as a net denizen, it's that very little out there deserves my rapt attention.

Why is self-isolation from the e-barrage necessary? Is the siren song of every fresh bit of e-drivel really that intoxicating? My modest suggestion: hold your e-sources to a higher standard; budget your time when jacked-in so that you're not just killing time whenever you go virtual.

If we've learned anything from the politics of 2016, it's that media and social streams are nothing but noise -- a perpetual loop that repeats ad finitum and ad nauseum.
In Europe, I pay $20 for unlimited mobile data at 100mbps.
Good point. Linux is probably the easier one because you'd need to build your UI toolkit into it and we don't have the source for Cocoa or whatever this year's Windows UI toolkit is called.
I understand what you're saying, but I reject this usage of the word "violence". I'm using the term violence in the traditional sense, meaning causing actual physical harm, vs "preventing a basic need". Punishment is inherently restricting basic needs of some sort. If that were the case, you could argue that my disallowing my children access to Youtube Kids is "violent." I don't want to confuse the terms for the purpose of my point, which is actual physical harm.
yes it does. Your own article proves it.
I generally don’t let it influence my opinion on a piece of music but if I find something I like I will almost always go and check what kind of reviews it is getting online.

I like to know if something is widely liked or just appeals to my taste.
Voldemort, sociopaths, the morally bankrupt... I don't know. It's really messed up.
I wasn't actually thinking about JavaScript at all. It applies to all languages that I have looked at.

The problem with that is that the connection from CloudFlare to your server is unencrypted. Ideally you will still have SSL implemented on your own server/network even when using a CDN provides it for the public facing domain.
If you chose to not take the inheritance, you would not experience the taxable event. You are not compelled to take an inheritance, the probate courts would absolutely love to take the propery if you do not want it.
Not everybody regards Sunday as a day off. Lots of religions out there. But I get the point - its a work day off for most people.
The DOM will be around as long as the web has documents.
I never liked that gmail "feature" and disabled it as soon as it came out. It's stupid and takes away my control of my email. If I want some emails to end up in a specific folder/tag, or be marked as read, or even not show up in my inbox, I create a filter. I'm old enough to organize my email myself, thank you very much.
There's little evidence to the final pricing yet, other than some speculation it will be between $85-$115, which are approximately what flights are.
How similar is it to the flavor of grated onions?
Using this story to ask: is poor voice-call quality common with Fi? I'm using a Nexus 6P. This is my first smartphone and I'm totally happy with the device and Project Fi for browsing, apps, texting, and tethering. But for plain voice calls the latency, dropouts, and "underwater" sounds are significantly worse than with my old prepaid feature phone, even when I see a strong signal. I had hoped that voice quality would get better (closer to Skype) when I bought a leading smartphone. I don't know if I should blame the service or the device. It's worse than laptop VOIP over DSL, my POTS voice line, or even a cheap feature phone circa 2010.
I don't buy the idea of "natural rights" in general. That doesn't mean I think constitutional democracy is a bad idea. It's just a good idea for different reasons.

Believing that the concept of owning property is inseparable from a government that defines property and resolves property disputes doesn't make me un-American. Sheesh.
Curious if anyone from the Product or Tech team for AutoML could describe how this differs from MetaMind (sadly, now subsumed into SalesForce.) Richard Socher seems to have achieved some of this in 2015 with MetaMind (...or...perhaps he just had a lot of turkers behind the scene hand-crafting networks to fit data drops...)
I'm tired of Golang proponents suggesting that benefits every compiled, native language gets are unique to go in comparison to non-compiled or VM-targeted languages.

I wish lambda would do more to support more executable contexts instead of blessing individual languages.

You know how they register in Canada? They don't - almost all adults in Canada are automatically in the national register.

And church doesn't often go on all day. Vote there in the afternoon. Or just set up in the hall and vote all day.
Thanks, I see now, OP's asking about mines, not necessarily miners (though I guess it's a bit hard to distinguish... if I mine, do I have a mine? how many cores should I have to qualify that as a mine?)

Anyway, on the >50% attack, I'm not totally in agreement. The attack can drop transactions, but can't forge any (which, btw, goes towards the "there won't be transactions"). If the network would ever restart, it will be eventually verified.
Insanity, duress, maybe the defendant is trying to take credit for another person's crime in order to protect them.
>The only downside that I'm aware of is that it makes certain kinds of systematic voter fraud possible. Specifically, selling your ballot becomes a trivial thing.

Buying votes is pretty much impossible to do on any meaningful scale undetected. You eliminate it by making it illegal, setting up stings and imposing jail sentences on offenders.

It's a terrible reason to avoid any voting system. It's not credit card fraud ffs. The offender advertises their presence by the very nature of what they do.
Trader Joes has frozen garlic cubes that are actually pretty good. I don't personally use them, but my wife does and I can't tell the difference.

I do use TJ's frozen basil cubes, which are terrific. Way better than dried, though obviously not as good as fresh. Unlike some competitors, TJ's cubes do not have added salt.
I'm proud of my democracy sausage but remain unconvinced that criminalising nonparticipation advances the ideals and outcomes of a government by the people. There are downsides too, most obviously when some crude federal politician stretches the Overton window in an attempt to sway reluctant voters.
Now if we could just have AM receivers in all our phones!
I have some questions that I hope you will answer.

1. Why is mandatory voting needed? Currently, only the people who want to be informed and involved are voters.

To answer your questions about why Felons can't vote: The US doesn't have a national right to vote. In national elections the states vote not the people.

2. There are several methods called Preferential voting, but it sounds like you are describing Bucklin voting. The system, as you describe it, can elect the person who is everyone's last choice, which I presume is the opposite effect from what you want. Were you aware of that?

3. What's wrong with early voting or voting by mail? If you want your vote to count without having to wait in lines, there are already methods available to registered voters.

5. You are arguing both for and against voting. Don't you think that the people should have a say in who their Supervisor of Election is, instead of there being a bunch of unelected, appointed people deciding how elections are run?
Including time to get to the airport and through security, flying LAX -> SFO is not high speed :/
> wrap an existing C crypto library

I know it's mostly semantics but calling C from C++ still requires some wrapping(extern "C", integrating build system, etc).

I've found with bindgen unless there's some crazy macro shenanigans going on it's actually quicker for me to integrate C libraries into Rust then wrangling CMake/Make/etc. The C FFI is very much a first-class citizen in Rust.

Even doubly so if we're talking about a cross-platform library.
This was a known ponzi scheme. Can participants actually recoup losses here? Shouldn't they be held just as accountable/guilty as any other participant?
This is absolutely, hands-down best advice. I would definitely second this. I have done ML and Data Science projects on and off at my workplace and I definitely think I know much more than folks who are simply doing lectures, courses, etc. I think working on a problem is actually the only good way to learn just about anything when it comes to Computer Science and Data Science, in general. I would suggest the OP to pick a topic of interest, define a problem statement and work on getting results there. OP needs projects to work on.
Didn't showing them sort of sabotage your plan?
I'm not sure what you mean by the "requirement." In order to vote in the US, you have to be of voting age. Some states impose additional requirements, like not being a felon (which I think are wrong, but that's another story).

Mandatory voting would have the same requirements. Anybody who previously could vote now must.

In terms of state power: it's not all that great of an expansion. If you make over the taxable limit, you pay federal taxes. If you own any sort of land, there's a good chance you pay local taxes on it. These sorts of compulsions apply to (equally?) large swathes of the population without necessitating a great deal of state power.
I wonder how this will impact Project Fi data-only SIMs[1]
I have toyed with the idea of switching to Fi to pop one of those into my Mikrotik router as a 'plan B' if my fiber connection drops (not that I would want to run all my traffic over it for long...).

Democratization should allow users to "own" their models. This is not the case in Cloud AutoML. Users cannot download their models and host them elsewhere. This dependency means Google can have control over the business's AI capabilities.
100% agree. I know some people are building full on apps with lambda, but I'm just not a fan of that use case. Lambda is PERFECT for devops groups.

Need to keep a security group in sync with the IPs some 3rd party service publishes? cloudwatch cron + lambda function.

Need to do some weird scattering in response to s3 object created events? lambda function.

want to roll some of your own automation to manage and respond to health events with services you host? some event stream + stepfunctions + lambda functions.
2.5 hours long lines to vote would have been a major crisis in Norway. The longest I've ever waited was 20 minutes when I voted in city hall just after 4 pm when everyone got off work and voted on their way home. Even then there was an election official walking up and down the line warning about the waiting times and guiding people to to other places to vote.

Seriously, this is easily solvable with easy access to early voting, enough ballot places with enough election officials and enough voting booths.
Tesla batteries can be pretty damaging to the environment to produce. Rail is a lot cleaner in that regard if you can get an electrified rail (not sure if this works with high speed). Rail is also a much more efficient way, with regards to energy, to transport that many people as opposed to buying near 2 million Teslas.
What are the security implications of wasm?
I see what you're saying, but unfortunately, especially in enterprise, the browser version is often locked to something quite old. One of our clients has locked to Chrome 48.

Even if Chrome followed the spec to a T, programmers still write bugs. So, I'm not going to expect a browser (at least) 15 versions old to behave perfectly. And we all know that the spec isn't perfectly implemented.

So, no. Unfortunately sometimes there are things that will make management care a lot about a browser that they really shouldn't.
WAWLLET: A multi-asset crypto wallet for storing your valuables [Upcoming ICO]
Yep, agreed. I only use Cloudflare's SSL for a couple of static landing page websites. For things like that, I think Cloudflare is perfect. For anything else, I use LetsEncrypt.
> No it wasn't. Most people thought

What matters was what investors thought. And as a follower of the financial/investing news, there was very much an expectation of a large corporate tax cut.

> alienated moderate Senators like Collins or McCain

Both voted for it.

> not to do with macro economic effects

The size of the tax cut was certainly enough to significantly affect the economics of a datacenter investment.
"Consent of the governed" means consent of society in general, not the consent of every individual to every action of the State. Society has long been okay with eminent domain.

When things become unacceptable, we can elect legislators to change the laws and make them acceptable again. I don't hear a cry to end eminent domain in our elections, or see anyone in Congress making any effort in that direction. That's consent of the governed.
Conservatives.
I agree the techniques are fairly simple and they tend to keep ingredients straightforward. When I say they tend to be fussy, there often seems a fair bit of cooking things different ways, using a fair number of bowls etc. It's not a big deal and I actually tend to like them as a rather mainstream if not especially exciting source of recipes.

But, as I say, I think they've also focused a bit more on prep time of late.
Does LogRocket easily hook up to PagerDuty?
Are you talking about SRE? They're full time engineers with CS degrees, they have nothing to do with IT.
In fairness, all our polling stations are open from 7am to 10pm and rarely have queues of more than a few minutes. Postal and proxy ballots are available to all voters at all elections. There are occasional cock-ups at urban polling stations, but it's rare that someone who wants to vote will be unable to do so.

I'd love an extra bank holiday, but I don't think that it'd make any real difference to turnout.
Going through the Central Valley and stopping in Fresno, Madera, Kings-Tulare, Bakersfield... (etc) to get to Los Angeles is not faster either. Buy a fully autonomous car and go point-to-point faster/cheaper/better.

The train will stop at SFO and BUR -- if the train's last-mile delivery is better then we should focus on that last-mile rather than the stretch in the middle that is already well-solved.
> It also reduces actually researching candidates to a waste of time. If I take the time to carefully research 5 candidates and their stance on all of the issues, weigh them carefully, maybe even attend a campaign event to get clarification...and then another guy walks up without having any idea what he's voting for that votes for the other guy...his vote counts exactly the same except that he's only there because he has to be.

I mean, that's democracy. The point isn't a perfect system where everyone is making completely informed decisions. The goal is to keep public officials accountable to the people and their interests, however uninformed.
Some scenarios come to mind - (1) help decide the memory allocated to the program to avoid IO (2) select the best page replacement policy (3) select the appropriate degree of multiprogramming.
As a German, when I get the vote notification via mail I just fill out a form online, receive the ballot via mail after about two days along with a form to sign, a bunch of color coded envelopes and instructions on how to assemble this voting Matrjoschka, and then just drop it all into any regular old mail box free of charge (well, kinda, taxpayer money and all).

Or I just go to the place designated in the first letter on that Sunday between 8 AM and 6 PM and vote in person.

I guess mail has the disadvantage that anyone could get a hold of your mail and fill it out in your place. Having at least a few options is good.
In much modern software this is no longer an issue.
Yeah, last year on Spotify my favorite band was my 4th most played. Definitely try to ration, especially if I am playing full albums.
I think you are somewhat shifting the goalposts, though. For adversarial images, you are changing what you know the system is looking at. In such a way that confuses it to "see" something else.

For humans, we just happen to somewhat understand the image that is being used against us. How is this different?
Agree on "Preferential voting" but I think a more important problem than replacing first-past-the-post is replacing winner-takes-all.

There's a bunch of ways to do it (some more complicated than others), but run an election in larger regions that will elect three candidates. Suddenly nearly everywhere will elect Dems/Repubs in batches of 1-2 or 2-1, and instead of half the country feeling disenfranchised for losing a 49-51% vote, you limit the "wasted" votes to 25%.

And heck, there might even be room in the mix for a 3rd party candidate (independent or centrist) to snag 25% here and there, and start putting chinks in the division caused by the 2-party system.

Sadly not as workable for the Senate or President, but would be fine for Congress.
I have bricklayers and carpenters in my friends and family, and I've been on the association board for the building, for the last 10 years.

So I know quite well what kind of maintenance is needed. We replaced the entire 6000sqm tiled roof last year, it was the original roof, 80 years old.

The maintenance needed on a brick building is fraction of what's needed on a wood building.
It's also a tax write off :)
Offline maps allows you to save all of the streets in a large radius, the size of a medium-size city. You can also save an area in advance, such as if you're going to an area on a trip.

Caching just saves the streets you get routed on, after the face.
Honestly, for a lot of infractions, I'd take the early-modern dozen lashes with a cat-o-nines over the laborious, expensive and perilous processes that the modern legal system can put one through.
Some people in society (generally those doing the taking) have long supported eminent domain.

Eminent domain nevertheless has not been "long okay," it has been hotly contested in every case.

That doesn't sound like "society is okay with it," unless you were on the take.
From the article "There’s a very limited number of people that can create advanced machine learning models." -- Curious if this is really the case? It is certainly the case with my generation of engineers but half the student interns I interview from top-20 comp sci programs do this on weekends for hackathons.

Is the argument that it is easy to implement stock models but hard to tune the models for specific types of image inputs? Inst that pretty easily solved with some parameter grid searches? How much specialized skill does it take to re-do networks from traditional inception architecture or what not into something specific for hot-dogs or satellite imagery or medical images?
For one thing, it allows large corporations to increase their influence, by helping people that are vested in protecting their interests vote for candidates who support those companies. If a large enough set of employees is in one area, that could swing a local election. Two, a lot of these employers would appear to employ people along a particular side of the political spectrum.

Combine these aspects with the fact that it would probably be easier for these large companies to switch a current day off to election day, rather than small companies who may not be able to afford it, if they give days off at all. It could end up having decidedly biased impacts on what political party is in power, and what industries get more power.
Why do you see options vs nulls as the same kind of interoperability issue as, say, Scala's completely incompatible collections library? That seems a little disingenuous.
DJB is drawing a distinction between two designs in his paper.

1. Netscape had a "dns helper" -- which ostensibly could only do DNS lookups, is designed in the principle of least privilege.

2. Ariel Berkman's xloadimage implementation -- which implements every image loader as a separate filter in a separate process who can do nothing but input image data and output image data (in the "common" format), is designed around eliminating trusted code.

The former could (and did) suffer a bug that affected DNS lookups, and was convinced to perform all sorts of network traffic since, it by definition needed to perform network activity to do it's function, and it could access files like resolv.conf because again, it needed to do that to perform it's function. That it couldn't be exploited to "yield root" wasn't really relevant, since most people didn't run Netscape as root. It could read user files and ship them over the Internet which is frankly bad enough.

The latter, is what DJB is recommending.
I never understand those. How hard is it to cut up or mince your own garlic?

https://arxiv.org/abs/1704.00605

In short, they spend roughly (EDIT: Herp-derp) 1/5th a cycle per byte of base64 through the use of AVX2 instructions to encode / decode base64. So one-cycle every 5 bytes.

This includes robust error checking (allegedly)

---------

Because SIMD-based execution was so successful in this example, I do wonder if a GPGPU implementation would be worthwhile. If some very big data were Base64-encoded / decoded (like MBs worth), then would it be worthwhile to spend a costly PCIe Transaction to transfer the data to the GPU and back? Something like an email-attachment is Base64 encoded for example.

I'd expect most web programs to be only a few kilobytes (at most) of base64 data however. A few hundred bytes for Cookies and the like. So the typical web case of base64 doesn't seem "big" enough to warrant the use of a GPU, so the AVX2 methodology would be ideal.
One of the places it is being allocated is biofuels.
You tell Edge, "compile this", Edge replies "done!" when what it has done is just verifying it's valid WASM. When you then call a function, it's compiled.
At 1/10th or 1/20th of the on premises costs you mean.
