Some every day scenario, with an impact,

* You apply for a loan, it is refused

* Your admission, for you or your children, to a school or university is refused because more worthy people have applied

* Your job application is refused,

All because of a fuzzy social score, that is mined from your contacts, activities on social network, meta data gathered from your smartphone in an opaque way, CCTV cameras, etc

I mean if we have a way to rate people, why not use it everywhere !

This is already partially implemented in China, I remember reading an example where with a low social score you have to pay for a deposit, and you don't have to with a high social score.

In a way, that sound efficient and meritocratic, but also ruthless if you end up with a low score.

I have a problem with those two "vulnerabilities" listed:

- Available Serial Interface (referring to easy-to-solder console port pads on PCB, accessible once you tear device apart);

- Weak Default Credentials (referring to weak root password that is only ever accepted via serial console).

Life-span of a baby monitor is couple of years, by definition. After that, this hardware could either become a cool easy-to-tinker Linux device, or e-waste.

Researchers at sec-consult seem to think e-waste option is better, or at least it's a necessary evil to deter those pesky hackers who sneak near your child's crib, armed to their teeth with soldering irons and screwdrivers.
> it helps lay the foundation for a healthy, non-helicoptering relationship with your kid

I think that's a pretty big exaggeration. "helicopter parenting" usually characterises parents who refuse to/cannot step back from their child's life and let them make decisions on their own. A sleeping newborn child cannot make decision on it's own - the only acceptable form of parenting is helicopter parenting when your child isn't capable of doing anything for itself!

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome exists. You can hardly blame people for wanting to protect their child from it.
> We have a brave new world ahead of us where you won't be able to trust anything you see or hear through any media, no matter how convincing it seems. That's pretty terrifying IMO.

Anyone can correct me if I'm being a bit dramatic but personally, it feels like we are very much already there.
The mass measurement is good to know; however, the lighter bags also take to the air and land in trees, the water, etc., a surprisingly large effect in the Windy City (yes I know it's not called that because of actual wind :-) ). This effect has almost disappeared in my neighborhood with the new tax in place.
One thing I think it should have mentioned is that although comment scores are not shown to anyone but the user, it is easy enough to infer them, at least approximately. Obviously, negative scores are shown by desaturation. And positive scores are shown by sort order.

Nothing covered in this article is stuff I'd consider very complicated, but I took a class on graph theory and the kinds of algorithms and concepts covered in the second half of that course were much more complex, though the fact that I hadn't taken a modern algebra class probably hurt me with some of those things, not to mention the class was also about the relation to combinatorics which presents much more interesting, though more complicated, problems.
Also, I don't think vouching for [dead] comments actually does anything beyond warm fuzzies.
This quote applies especially to IOTA:

"Cryptocurrencies are nothing except the marketing power of inventors, financiers and others who love the idea of buying a black box (which is obviously empty) for the price of a Kia and dreaming that it will turn into a Mercedes. There have been times recently when this dream has materialized within hours. This is not just a bubble. It is not just a fraud. It is perhaps the outer limit, the ultimate expression, of the ability of humans to seize upon ether and hope to ride it to the stars." - Paul Singer, Elliott Management

IOTA's tech is shitty but they've convinced enough people that it's worth something that it's now worth something. Maybe that's all a crypto needs? I was honestly expecting all of this to crash and burn back in December- but it hasn't yet. Maybe these cryptocoins really are the future.

Some quick googling estimates 6 tsp of sugar is about 25 grams or 100 calories. For comparison, a 32oz bottle of Gatorade G2 (low calorie) has about 19 grams of sugar, and a 32oz bottle of normal Gatorade has about 56 grams.

Adding - 1/2 tsp of salt is 2.5 grams of which it is 1 gram of sodium. G2 - 435mg sodium, 120mg potassium; normal - 400mg, 100mg.
Okay, go write a "smart" mortgage and put all your money into it. Let me know how you feel about this.

Of course every bug has financial effects, software is designed to make money in the vast majority of cases. But to write software that can literally drain every single last dollar from your clients or yourself in an unrecoverable fashion just because _any_ programming error is insanity to me.
It took decades of development and an immense amount of resources - the current web engine we all use is the work of dozens of developers from KDE, Apple and Google. If we could've got those all to collaborate on a native UI toolkit you could probably have got something equally good, but such a joint Apple-Google project would probably have been politically impossible at both companies.
> You cannot have a trustless consensus without a mining incentive

This is not true, Proof-of-stake creates a suitable incentive to verify transactions and maintain the network. It's a legitimate alternative to proof-of-work.
Which is ironic, for a blog named 'Last blog standing'.
Hospitals also insanely overcharge for IVs. A few years ago I was in the hospital, and I knew I could keep down oral re-hydration solution. The hospital put me on a saline IV anyway. When I got the bill, the IV line item was $2000! Insurance discounts brought that down to $200. I paid all that for a couple dollars of salt water I didn't need.
It's not about mapping. It's about collecting data and training their machine learning algorithms.
> Is a hum not more or less expected in the vicinity of busy harbors, even more so than in general industrial areas?

You're absolutely right, but there are different types of hums and many of them you can directly be linked to a source. Just to name the two loudest in my direct neighbourhood:

* Some kind of ships at slow speeds make very loud humming sounds. The loudest in my expirience are big car carriers (to be specific: Grimaldi carriers in Hamburg). The sound is very unsettling since it's at such a low frequency, that it's more "feeling" than "hearing". But the good thing is that it's over after the ship passes by.

* Some procedures in the nearby ship repair dock are very unsettling too. Especially sandblasting ship hulls is very annoying and for some reasons they mainly do it at night.

But the most distracting hum of which I was talking about in my parent comment has yet to be linked to a specific source. And it lasts much longer than my other examples, typically for days. So it has to be something which is produced only in specific conditions. This doesn't mean that this is ruling out all of your examples (e.g. large refrigerators could only be in use when the storage capacity is needed, it could be specific vessels etc.).
This is very impressive. I would love to see an implementation of this that is on par with the UX of the Nike plus sensor-thingy which can be inserted into the soles of certain models of Nike shoes.

I don't think that researches like this make sense at all. Each depression is unique in it's pathogenesis, there are no drugs that work for everyone. For example, a depression caused by a chronic desease or the one with deep roots in your childhood - a true research needs to evaluate all 21 drugs in each situation.

There are bindings and there are bindings. I'd bet my company on PyQt - if anything I'd say bugs get fixed there quicker than in Electron. But part of the reason for that is that PyQt is a commercial (dual license) project with a dedicated company behind it.

The social issues are real. Water quality probably plays a larger role than anyone wants to admit. Beyond that, the puberty hormone cocktail does plenty of damage on its own. Most of the factors are out of any individual's control. However, nutrition, exercise, and creating are the answers I found for myself. My family paid little attention to any of those and my few friends were like me so I didn't have enough exposure to the benefits to give them the effort they require. Fortunately in college I made friends with some powerlifters and art students, then a couple years after graduating I lived with a crazy artist very much unlike the art students I knew, who helped me loosen up and find the artist in myself, largely through psychadelics. I took weekly art classes from there.

4 Key Questions as Eterly Ramps Up for ICO – iCoin Blog
Nice writeup. Though you might want to proof read it a few (more) times.

"Similarly, transaction outputs that appear in a snapshot [6] are more valuable than those that have."

Is that what everyone is doing? In molecular biology? In medicine more broadly?

From the last paragraph:

> If some approaches to cancer research are much more likely to work than others, but the scientific community systematically favors the unsuccessful approaches, then the difficulty of curing cancer isn’t just a lack of low-hanging fruit, it’s a strategic problem.

Yeah, but that's until some library makes a backwards-incompatible change and the whole things stops building. Sure, it's better than a completely proprietary service, but support and active maintenance are very important too.
Nothing is Cheaper than Proof of Work (2015)

A specific medical claim will trigger FDA requirements to prove efficacy in the US. Thats why you see lots of products not making claims, for instance — “High in antioxidants!”, some people will interpret that to mean improved health outcomes, but the manufacturer is not claiming it.
In triage a medic would address the dismemberment first, and only address the broken leg when time and resources permitted. So it still seems to me like you're saying men's issues are less important -- in your analogy they're comparable to a minor injury, and women's issues are comparable to one that's life-threatening.

I think that as a society we should prioritize dealing with issues that cause the greatest harm to the most vulnerable people. I don't think the gender of the victims should be the first order concern. My message to corporate America is that I'm unimpressed by diversity hiring quotas. I'd be much more impressed if they ran programs that put ex-cons of any race or gender to work in good jobs. I would favor using a company's product if they did that.
This is a fair point, but I think it gets more complicated if betting becomes involved, because the players may use the same dice, but the player who understands how the dice work has a betting advantage.

Differing beliefs in how games of chance work may still be an arbitrage that works to the advantage of casinos and lotteries.

Isn't the (only) problem with game theory that the actor optimization function is inappropriate? Rationality as an assumption is the problem. But everything else, all the derived higher order structure above that seems, in my eyes, to be pretty useful. There are other contexts, like evolutionary game theory, where the optimization function is just darwinian fitness. And in that situation do most professionals seem to agree that the model is perfectly useful.

So game theory as a framework seems would be totally fine if we could only figure out a more psycologically plausible goal function, wouldn't you agree?
I don't disagree with you here. You're right that employers pay for vacation - what I wanted to convey was that a flexible schedule is part of the workplace expectations that are set as part of the contract between employees and employers, but what I don't like is the focus on child-rearing as a battle cry for women to spend less time at work or have a more flexible schedule. Frankly, just don't have a baby then. I view my hobbies as more important than your children or your life decisions, yet I don't get a flexible schedule for those, do I? I don't get flex time off to visit an ailing family member do I? I'm fine with people getting time off for kids, but I'm not ok with it being this giant circle-jerk from HBS every other day about how women need more flex time. Don't have kids then! Work just as many hours as men do! I don't need to have it shoved in my face everyday about how you want to have your cake and eat it too.

I agree with your second point as well. I actually have a great job that I enjoy, but most men my age that I know (anecdote) are under a lot of pressure and have to stay late instead of spending time with their family or pursuing hobbies or whatever. I don't view their plight as any better or worse than that of a mother but it still exists. I feel bad for them.

And with that being said, I do like the Swedish (or is it Norway?) model of allotting time to both parents by law to split as they see fit, versus in the U.S. where it's somehow only about the well-being of mothers. The feminists in the United States have somehow turned gender equality into good stuff for women only, and I have a problem with that. Just as I have a problem with a man making more money than a woman for the same work or sexual misconduct in the workplace as alluded to by the author, though again I don't like how we brush this happening to men under the rug and throw up a "man up" anytime somebody mentions it. I've been uncomfortably sexually harassed (and didn't even realize it at the time) by and older gay man when I interned at a company, including attempting to invite me over and "pay" for me to clean his house, telling me I looked like I had a runners ass, and other related things. At the time I just thought he was a little cooky, he never was explicitly mean, but that was still sexual harassment.
For the longest time I couldn't understand electrical theory, until a youtuber explained it very simply... It won't move unless it can see a path to ground, except you make it do all the work while it's attempting to ground.

That's all it took for the theory to fall into place.

I'm actually only familiar with the arXiv, for physics and computer science research. I don't know much about biorxiv or Zenodo, but they both seem much better than a personal website or github page.

The arXiv has overlay sites, such as http://www.arxiv-sanity.com/ or https://scirate.com/ , that improve discoverability over the basic arXiv interface; for example, you can browse all the papers in a given area posted in the last two months, sorted by some proxy for "interest." Of course there is also Google Scholar, and perhaps there are better ways.
Why must my opinions be disregarded as picking a fight, or as a misread? You appear more intent to dismiss than understand. I've given my honest reaction to the article - that's the best I can do.

Not exactly sure what you mean. After the model is trained there isn't much "machine learning abstraction".

you can serve the model using tensorflow serving using exported parameters. Its exactly what you want for serving the model.
Very good point, really good to hear the new bags aren't weighing in at too much more than the old ones!
Also worth noting that the heavier bags are better quality and so will last longer. Combine this with the fact that because bags are no longer a 'free commodity', I think people will tend to assign value to them and hence re-use them much more than before.
I think the biggest issue here is that even though this post is well researched, most people don't care, because they haven't invested in IOTA (or any other cryptocurrency for that matter) with the intention of using the features.

The large majority is in it for the trading. Unless there are huge issues such as the network crashing, they don't care. It's just a line chart on an exchange to them. That's also why there are no repercussions for people never delivering on ICO promises.

It kinda scares me.
With 10 times the features, it’s not at all unreasonable.

They don't help with breathing issues.

Where a (video-capable, audio-muted) monitor helps with my 1-year-old is that I can see at a glance whether he's just fighting a loosing battle with sleep, or if he has won that battle, is standing up and sleep has lost this battle.

If it's the former, I dare not open the door. If it's the latter, I need to go in and rock him back to sleep. Having this tool has saved him and I from many cranky, nap-deprived days.

And, btw, it's a dumb monitor with a ~400 foot range. All 3 neighbors within range are trusted to watch the kid - if they want to help, great!
idk OP's position, but the lack of tactile feedback is probably the biggest flaw of touchscreen UIs. it's really nice to be able to give input to a device without actually looking at it.

it's a mild to moderate inconvenience on a phone, since you are looking at the screen most of the time you are using it and swype style keyboards remove most of the pain of typing on a virtual keyboard. it does make for a compromised music player, though, unless you can remap the hardware buttons to control media playback.

on the other hand, i find the touch UI trend in cars absolutely horrible. it's bad enough that you have to take your eyes off the road to read the center screen, but actually pressing a virtual button requires even more concentration to track where your finger is wrt the button and stabilize it against the motion of the vehicle.
Having spent 18+ years without a car, walking or cycling or taking the bus, I always had a backpack with me. I would often tell a clerk I didn't need a bag and I'd be ignored -- they just automatically put items in a bag. Once a 5 cent bag fee went into effect and they had to ask, I never had a problem not getting a bag. (To be fair, other places knew me and knew I didn't need a bag.)
