here's my thoughts as I read through it

rocket - webpack 4 beta... Guess that means launch

present - A promise fulfilled... Present, I guess thats ok

confused person - How to install.. hmmm

rocket - performance.. I guess rockets are fast

fire - Better defaults.. err...

Strong arm - Better defaults.. err...

cake - side effects.. what?

Goat? I think it's a goat - Module Type’s Introduced. what the fuck.
I do, then I worked on single page apps with dozens if not hundreds of screens, dozens of developers, and tens of thousands of lines of code; modern Javascript standards and new transpile-to-javascript languages that all had to work down to IE 9; front-end application frameworks and 3rd party libraries that helped us to structure the application and not reinvent the wheel without having to manually sift through all files at every release (thrice or more a day) to filter out what we needed.

Uploading some files is fine for simple websites with no availability guarantees or security requirements. Mod_pagespeed is fine for most websites too, I should install it for my wordpress instance sometime. It's not effective for single page apps though.

Isn't stellar's consensus still the 'consensus' of one node owned by the company due to the fact that the design is totally broken?
Why? What if I have a guest coming over.

This is... as the article says... unsettling.

I think it's safe to say Autopilot was enabled. Tesla has never waited to rush out and state that the car's driver was lying and that their system didn't screw up. Presumably they will still blame the driver for not paying enough attention, but as the article says, not being able to detect a stopped emergency vehicle is a pretty giant gaping flaw.
To bring some counterweight to all the hatred towards George Soros:

A recent Freakonomics Radio show taught me he is a skilled Esperanto speaker. Esperanto enthusiasts generally belong to the more altruist type of people. This might or might not apply to him, but I considered this a sign he probably means well.

Edit: I see he learned it as a child from his father. I guess in that case it says little about his personality.
Open-sourcing Psychlab
It seems dyndns is €24 per year. My baremetal hosting (4 Dedicated ARM Cores, 2GB memory, 200Mbit/s Unmetered, 50GB HD) is €43.2 per year. I am not ready to pay more than €10 per year for a domain name. For the moment, I enjoy 3 free domain names from no-ip.org.
Your best bet is to calculate a full cost (time/distance) matrix upfront before running the optimisation.

Both Google and GraphHopper offer cost matrix calculations as part of their web API. I imagine in both cases you need an expensive API key though.

If you're going to use GraphHopper, you might as well install it yourself, import the OpenStreetMap file for the region you want, and use it to calculate the cost matrix on your own computer for free!
Did you even read the article?

> “The power to shape people’s attention is increasingly concentrated in the hands of a few companies” (...) Soros warned of an “even more alarming prospect” on the horizon if data-rich internet companies such as Facebook and Google paired their corporate surveillance systems with state-sponsored surveillance (...) “This may well result in a web of totalitarian control the likes of which not even Aldous Huxley or George Orwell could have imagined. (...) The internet monopolies have neither the will nor the inclination to protect society against the consequences of their actions. That turns them into a menace and it falls to the regulatory authorities to protect society against them”

You're talking about the decentralisation effect of the internet. He is talking about the centralised power of surveillance and influence attained by these companies, so the exact opposite.

But even if we pretend he argued what you imply he's arguing: the printing press gave us protestantism followed by the Thirty Year's war. Nazis partially came to power because they were the first to master mass media propaganda. So yes, the Internet is a menace to society, in the sense that it causes social upheaval and enables good and bad things to happen. Like with the printing press and mass media, we need to figure out as a society how to avoid the bad influences and keep the benefits.

> Would Soros think the same if he had been CEO of FB?

That is an absurd proposition: if George Soros had been CEO of FB, he would be a different person from who he is now. That is like asking "would you think that fast food is unhealthy if you had been the CEO of MacDonald's?" Probably not, but the fact that I believe fast-food is unhealthy is probably one of the reasons that I didn't seek a career at McDonalds in the first place.
Not sure in his case, but I keep my dns configuration in git and deploy over ssh git pull followed by a dns server restart. I prefer ssh as I know better how to secure that and it seems like less attack surface.
This is one way to view artist - not as a craftman, but as a brand like Walt Disney (or Merceded Benz). The artist then functions as a curator for all the data that passes through him and signs those articles he considers worthy of the brand. This is a totally fine way to look at it - just as long as he/she does not tread on someones copyright.
This is a red flag. That company or manager probably assumes people doing remote work are doing their laundry or whatever and not doing work. Perhaps they had a bad experience with someone? Or was this an HR person just doing their "get the rate lower" job objective?

They aren't going to save much by having a remote worker, right? Yes office space but chances are a company leases an entire floor, used or not. The amount of electricity a laptop uses over a year can't be much either. A single person drinking coffee can't cost them that much either.

I would almost want to ask how they come to the conclusion that remote should pay less? Or a slightly different wording like how are pay ranges determined for <insert title here> position across the company? Does this also come into play with promotions, raises, bonuses, etc?
Babysitting probably isn't a great example, but cellphones affect the process of communicating so, unless you're expecting not to have the phone on you, it can actually be detrimental when you don't.

The main difference is that you tend to plan less up front. When our children were younger, and we had babysitters, we'd point out where the obvious stuff was but if they needed something, they'd just text. You just don't bother with the 15 min tour that I'd have got when I was doing the babysitting.

As a tangential, vaguely amusing, anecdote. A few years ago, my eldest's phone was a bit dodgy and kept cutting out. He was going to meet up with my wife in town but was meeting friends first. The two of them, my wife and son, spent about 5 minutes trying to work out how they could contact each other.

I, genius that I am, proposed a radical solution. I suggested that they arrange to meet at an agreed time and place. It had been such a long time since this was necessary that it hadn't even occurred to my wife (for which I still won't let her forget). My son had never, in his 15 odd years at the time, needed to do this.
With the Pocket / Brave model, the user's private information still winds up in the advertisers' hands -- in the form of which ads the engine recommends be shown to the user. The advertisers may not be able to directly see which specific sites or pages the user has in their history, but they still get the aggregate information which is what they were after in the first place.

The one advantage to the local parsing compared to serverside is that there isn't a cloud full of everybody's browser history ready to be hacked or resold. That's a real benefit, I don't want to undersell that, but it's not the entirety of the story.

As for your example: Firefox using your browser history to autocomplete urls as you type in the address bar is innocuous because that information never goes anywhere but to that user; it's solely for the user's benefit. Firefox using that same browser history to tell advertisers which subjects the user might be interested in is not innocuous; it's broadcasting information to third parties that the user might prefer be kept private. The user's data is no longer being used for the user's benefit, but for the advertiser's.

10 Monkeys and a Beetle: Inside VW’s Campaign for ‘Clean Diesel’
In my experience, YouTube is a lot less spammy and attention-grabbing than facebook. It may be that my usage pattern is completely different to most users, but I almost always use YouTube by actively searching for stuff (I don't have a feed of "YouTube news", like it happens on facebook). There are no "This man wanted to surprise his wife and you'll never guess what happened" links in YouTube. I only get notifications about channels I'm subscribed to. Very occasionally -- almost never -- after watching a video I will click on suggested videos, because they are almost always relevant (besides music, I'm interested in hobby/miniatures/boardgames and the suggestions I get are almost always relevant).

Disclaimer: I use YouTube with uBlock, so I never have to see unskippable ads. In my opinion, this is the only way to use YouTube (and the only way which makes listening to playlists feasible); if this possibility ever goes away, I'll likely stop using YouTube.

edit: a sibling comment mentioned autoplay. Autoplay is indeed one of YouTube's spammy features, and I wish it went away.

With Facebook, it's almost constant spam about stuff I'm not interested in. People -- my contacts! -- share all kinds of crap. And Twitter is even worse, with lots of spam and with ads I constantly need to remind Twitter I don't want to see.
Is the Marital Status of a 5 Year Old Child Important?
So what you're saying is that you can't break a monopoly through market forces, but merely wait out the monopoly market's relevance?
I agree with your thesis that we are in an uncharted territory - but predicting that Google and Facebook are going to be obsoleted soon does not follow from this. The problem with social media is that they can control how we think and in particular how we think about them. There might never be a way out of that.
Yes, totally, although their reasoning that they must ignore stationary objects to avoid too many false positives sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Also, on the other hand not being able to recognize that your car is about to slam into a stopped emergency vehicle is also a giant gaping flaw on the driver's side.

Disclaimer to put my last statement into perspective: I have absolutely no relation to Tesla except for being a potential future customer. However I am driving a decent stretch daily and get to experience first person many stupid things people do in their cars due to ignorance/not paying attention/whatever, also I often use the adaptive cruise control of my Audi which shows me quite some false positives and restrictions (such as not letting itself deactivate below 15mph, heck, even deactivating itself without previous notification)
What monopoly regulation would apply to a dominant market position delivering value at no cost to the user, for a product who’s competitors are but a click away?

I thought US monopoly laws were more about dealing with unfair profiteering off customers?

Or do I not know that Google’s advertising rates are regulated by monopoly laws?
> there's just no way I'm running a DNS server in the open (amplification attacks, etc.)

Why not? Bind has rate limiting to make it useless for amplification attacks. You can also use smaller than 4k udp response sizes, forcing clients to switch to tcp. Nothing to be afraid of, your dns hosting provider probably does the same thing.
The article's author figures that there was no such reset during the first eclipse following the failure (in 2007), but perhaps the batteries have now degraded to the point where they are drained during an eclipse?
How to find Smartphones correct info for suitable Android Apk Download
I had a family friend who had access to a medical database. I joked, "I wonder if I'm in there." She said, "Yep."

I remembered that Seinfeld episode where Elaine wants to change her file. I wondered what was in mine.

"Can I see mine?" I said excitedly.

"Absolutely not." her demeanor changed. Her professionalism kicked in.

I was just curious about the data the same way I am about any other data. I didn't think it was a big deal (even MY OWN data?!). But she sure as hell did.

And here I was, a family friend. Not a stranger. Normally those people are given more leeway in your life.

So if she can take that stuff seriously, I don't see why the hell we can't expect nothing less from everyone else with access to sensitive data. We don't give custodians keys to every room in the building and then expect them to go snooping through everyone's computers, files, etc.

But somehow, the human element kicks in, and we don't see a mental difference between "googling" what we're supposed to, and one... little... search of curiosity. Somehow, an extra Google/db search isn't as bad as rifling through someone's legal documents in their desk.

Anyhow, she was definitely spooked enough that you can be sure she had many hours/talkings/whatever to scare her into never doing non-standard searches and that she could go to federal jail for doing it.

Are they really tracking? Maybe. Hopefully! But it was enough to scare this person into doing her job and only her job.

So my point is simply: Solutions exist, if companies and organizations are willing to actually implement them. But until companies are fined for violating people's privacy, they're never going to implement it.

I can't get half my clients to upgrade from outdated versions of Windows without justifying the cost upgrade. Companies simply aren't going to care until we make it HURT their bottom line for their negligence.
Age? Hx of cardiac problems? These would be good to know, but I assume they were controlled for.
Yeah, wordpress. Also my home server is for from 5 9s (but it's good enough for my services).
There are actually products that do this kind of power cycling. I'm a happy user of a ResetPlug that fixes my WiFi problems by rebooting the router when the connection is down.

(I don't mean this as a spammy ad, just in case other people have as terrible Internet access as Chunghwa is giving me)
It doesn't say if you write lot's of code it is good. Moreover probably that is not good. Instead you can measure proportions for example. (unproductive / inserted)
You can draw the conclusion because you are the one who know your code.
Nice writeup Diego ;)

I worked with Diego (the author) on a first version of this, since it was a project in the course "Artificial Intelligence Programming" IT3105 at NTNU in Trondheim, Norway where we both stayed in our Erasmus a year ago.

While it is not very sophisticated to use SOMs for this problem, it was rather meant as an implementation exercise. And TSP allows a graphical representation of the process, which is nice too.
That said, we spent way too much time in the course implementing and fine tuning Genetic algorithms...
There is a metric ton of regulation you can’t launch anything into space without going thorough a mile of red tape.

Apparently no one consulted astronomers with this case most likely as no one expected a use case where someone launches a freaking disco ball into low earth orbit.
"But Graham's number is different. I can't tell you how many digits it has. I also can't tell you how many digits its number of digits has, or how many digits the number of digits of its number of digits has. They're all too big."
The fact that this flaw is known and in production gives credence to some of the AI experts who are saying level 5 is waaaaay further away than we are being led to believe.
I think you need to read the story differently: even when using only such a low bar, you can find lots of evidence. As the article mentions, there are other known ways to find suspicious Bitcoin wallets and their owners on top of that.

Life Sciences Research Topics to Watch in 2018
Conway chained arrow notation
I assumed your link was going to be this one about a "graspable" description of the number 52! (factorial).

https://czep.net/weblog/52cards.html

Start a timer that will count down the number of seconds from 52! to 0. Then walk around the world along the equator, at the very leisurely pace of one step every billion years. The equatorial circumference of the Earth is 40,075,017 meters. After you complete your round the world trip, remove one drop of water from the Pacific Ocean. Now do the same thing again: walk around the world at one billion years per step, removing one drop of water from the Pacific Ocean each time you circle the globe. The Pacific Ocean contains 707.6 million cubic kilometers of water. Continue until the ocean is empty. When it is, take one sheet of paper and place it flat on the ground. Now, fill the ocean back up and start the entire process all over again, adding a sheet of paper to the stack each time you’ve emptied the ocean.

Do this until the stack of paper reaches from the Earth to the Sun. Take a glance at the timer, you will see that the three left-most digits haven’t even changed.

But how should fully automated driving without lidar ever work then? To me it sounds like the first supplier of a small and affordable lidar system will make a lot of money and everyone not using it will lose out.

I wasn't implying it was some outlandish misbehaviour. Company cars are a real and common occurance, as are other large business expenses, like plane tickets.
Lucky. We do that every day.

(20-minute daily "standup" of 10 people following the format you describe, in addition to once-weekly 30-person status meeting. It's absurd.)
They're all just assistive driving systems and anyone who thinks that robo-Uber is going to pick them up at a bar and deliver them to their driveway in less than a number of decades is delusional. The issue is that these systems will get good enough to work enough of the time that people think reading a book or watching a movie with the occasional glance at the road is OK when it isn't. (Of course, plenty of people don't really pay full attention today.)
If I saw someone with a laptop or their phone, or whatever, sitting in one my meetings not paying full attention to the issue at hand, we'd be having a talk and there'd be a piece of paper with some bad things written on it and you've got a strike.

I asked you to the meeting cause I wanted your full metal capacity on the issue at hand. If you don't want to pay attention you're probably at the wrong job.
C-b is pretty bad for the same reason for users like me with with well-worn emacs key memory. I end up using the backtick, but it does make sharing a session that little bit more difficult.
man if there's one thing gets astronomers worked up it's light from any other source than what they're interested in.
It's not a problem with lidar according to the article. Everyone except for Tesla works with lidar. So the question is just when the systems are cheap and small enough for everyday use. AI doesn't appear to be the issue here, just the data input.
I do appreciate for this wonderful information i had to try Morrisgraycracktech at gmail dot com if they can fix my score, and it was real, now my score is in a good form all my dept were cleared also with the lien tax I am so happy i will tell you that, now i can get my new house with my wife so even you can get to him to fix your score issue, he is really good to work for people even if you don't have much with you he will still help you that's one thing i see about him but you should surely fulfill your promises to him just like i did after i saw his good work.
Nope. If Katie once made a funny face because some situation on their trip to paris was hilarious, that doesn't mean I always/only want pictures of her where she makes that same funny face for the rest of my life.
Gradient, my dear Watson
No, it just requires the sea change of having every vehicle on the road talk with each other. That would fix this particular problem quite nicely.

It's not a panacea of course.
It is, yet I still routinely receive mail for two previous tenants of the house we now own. If you're a regular purchaser then yes it will be weird is suddenly a previous tenant starts receiving packages every few weeks on a regular interval and they're not getting returned.

But the real reason you shouldn't do it is that you don't actually get any deniability. John Doe who used to live at my address is not going to order drugs and ship them to my address. Especially if he's moved any reasonable distance, or is dead, or incarcerated, etc. It's no less obvious than just shipping them to yourself.

The very instant the “just around the corner” hype dies on lvl 5 automation, Uber is going to drop dead as a ride sharing service. Tesla will take a hit, as will all of the companies scrambling to be first up the automation ladder. The torrent of VC and corporate money will become a trickle where it doesn’t just dry up.

All of which is just to say that those voices pointing out the technical challenges are up against seriously desperate interests. This could get messy.
Dude like one day I was totally sitting there watching that cartoon about the cavemen that totally push their little stone cars around with their feet and I was like duuude what if we like put a floor on the bottom of the car and totally like put some kind of like device that runs on controlled explosions of burning petroleum products and it like propelled the car forward then you totally wouldn't need to push it with your feet....
Then my buddy was all like. Duuuuuudddee that's fuckin gnarly....but like isn't that totally an engine???

Duuuuuuuuddddeeee

Then we hit the bong again.
Yes but, even those who invest in automation need a mass of middle class consumers to buy their products.

Ford famously gave employees relatively high wages and weekends off specifically so they had money and reason (free time) to buy the very products they manufactured.

You are aware that this is literally how Waymo's existing taxi service in Phoenix works?

I am aware of the limitations, but the parts with "decades" and "delusional" are obviously overstated.
