But how do you know that the centralized server does not override all records to tamper the evidence? Append-only log is useless if the actor choose to override all logs.

So you need a neutral third party to keep the records in case the centralized server does the malicious behaviour.

This can be done, I admit. But in a corrupt society, it is hard to find a neutral and trusted party.

Other way is using blockchain to record the logs and incentivize the miners to maintain the nodes. You can not bribe the cryptography.

It's a cultural thing tool. Many Americans are very individualistic, mean, self-centered, and lack compassion. I say this as an American. Look at our president and the millions that support him. These people just have an angry personality. The people on the left aren't much better. Even these kids after the shooting protested, "You're either with us or against us." That is the American mentality.

As a country we lack compassion.

Speaking of crazy dumb, the thing that recognizes your flight emails and tells you to go to your flight is nice... for your flight. But it's common at least for me for people coming into town to just forward me their flight emails.

I'm amazed that they haven't put in even a teeny bit of effort to solve that one.

Very few mass-produced items achieve collectible status, and as far as I know, they do so accidentally. Anyone manufacturing something to be marketed as such is hoping to exploit the same set of irrationalities that drive speculative bubbles and Ponzi schemes, but without the risk of being prosecuted for securities fraud. Those irrationalities are bolstered by those few cases that have made the grade, and the practice of salting a large number of generic items with a few rare ones appeals to the jackpot fallacy.
Lol, spot on.
Actually yes. There’s a cool book called “Our Better Angels: The Decline of Violence” by Pinker that goes into why the US is more violent than Europe. Also different parts like the South are more violent.

Basically it has to do with lack of strong authority.

Ok, we need about 3.1 km/s for translunar injection, about 1 km/s to enter Moon orbit and then some 2.4 km/s to cancel orbital velocity (1.7 km/s) and land. Total is 6.5 km/s . For storable fuels with Isp of 3.5 km/s mass ratio becomes exp(6.5 / 3.5) = 6.4, so if you want to land 50,000 lbs mass on the Moon, you have to start from LEO having 320,000 lbs or 145 metric tons. More than Saturn V and more than twice FH. And here we don't even include tanks for fuel and engines which will get us to the Moon.

We can consider LOx/LH2 stage, which improve masses considerably. Wonder why SpaceX didn't buy XCOR yet?.. http://space-access.org/updates/sau148.html

So it's doable with at least one docking, and perhaps more. Maybe refueling should be involved as well.
There is a saying in certain engineering fields that all regulations are written in blood; an accident was once caused due to the lack of a particular line item and now that line item is on the list.

This is a relatively short list for due diligence. While far less dramatic than an engineering fault which could actually kill someone, there have absolutely been extremely expensive incidents in the US which occasioned each item on this list. A portion of them are due to peculiarities of doing business in the United States, which is organized to accomplish many forms of dispute resolution via a professionalized process backstopped by formal legal process, in a fashion which may not be similar to e.g. Pakistan, Japan, most European countries, etc. US companies do frequently generate more legal work than comparable situated companies in other jurisdictions. (There are varieties of work they generate less of, but I'll leave that out of the scope of this comment.)

The legal profession, like all service professions, sometimes recommends work which is not directly in the customer's interests, but in the main it is in the business of decreasing transactional risk. There are material risks involved in investing in a company with undisclosed baggage. Additionally, insisting on a certain level of professionalism helps to shake out other problems, because firms which cannot self-organize to e.g. provide a list of all employees and the paperwork related to them are almost certainly catastrophically managed under the hood. You might not even be creative enough to successfully predict how they're going to blow up, because the theoretical space of mistakes one can make is infinite, but you know that anyone who can't produce a signed copy of an employment agreement on demand is highly unlikely to have a level of risk which is roughly representative of your experience from the distribution of companies which are at least minimally competent.

Lots of (most?) rust libraries are "not thread safe" in the sense that those data structures aren't though. The reason this is ok is that to actually share a piece of data across threads it needs to implement Sync (which requires unsafe).

Also, as a sibling comment points out, the "thread safety" guarantee is relatively narrow -- it won't guarantee a general lack of concurrency bugs any more than a gc will guarentee reasonable memory usage.

I haven't thought through the details, but I suspect it's possible to adjust the semantics of rust in a way that allows multiple mutable references without sacrificing memory safety.

What you would hit is that the compiler would be hindered when doing optimizations in the same way that c and c++ compilers are, because of pointer aliasing.

There's a trade off there, and I think you can make the argument either way.
most of this seems to be an issue of maturity for the language itself and the surrounding ecosystem, which I did touch on a little bit. I probably should have made it a more explicit caveat.

aside from ubiquity and maturity, I'm curious what features c has that rust lacks for raw memory manipulation. I have yet to work my way through all of the rustonomicon and I am far from an expert c programmer, so I would appreciate the opportunity to fill in some knowledge gaps.
I think we are talking about the right not being hurt, tortured or killed, not about taking things from others.

This, finish and go to the best Uni you can; everything else that anyone tells you may not serve you well.
Although throwaway0255 is making an argument about whether you could achieve better education by yourself vs. an organized university curriculum, you should never overlook the effect that a degree from a prestigious University can have. In most fields companies hire people from the highest ranked Universities, when there is a recession they still hire those ones even if they hire fewer people in total.
Money and time spent in a top-tier University always pays off either by prestige, connections or just by the network that you build there. That is how US works currently, top Unis are becoming the tool of class formation. Plus while in Uni you can still do what you want if your part time jobs are not very demanding.
Finally, for most people with not enough fu money, this is the last time to really experiment without putting their livelihoods on the line.

I recently started to actually write some Rust code after reading about Rust here and there. The experience has been quite unique, it constantly forces me to think about the code at low level, which I find refreshing. And the compiler is truly impressive, it pinpoints me where things go wrong, and conveys the error messages in a very human-like fashion.

You are going to cost yourself a lifetime of benefit if you make a decision based on these Internet rants of the moment; in 10 years they will be forgotten and you will be stuck with the consequences. One thing you learn with a real education is how to evaluate serious ideas and separate them from trendy memes. College is so much more beneficial and fulfilling than the quote above, in almost every aspect of life. If you love to learn, there is no better place - no place else will a professor guide your study, advise you, answer your questions, and give you feedback in any subject you like, or will you have a room full of peers studying and discussing the same thing, or will you have the resources - from labs to reference librarians. It will transform you as a person.

Don't rely people on Internet bulletin boards for serious advice!

EDIT: I'm not in any way trying to tell you what to do; that's your business, and it depends on things I couldn't possibly know from even 100 HN posts. I'm just saying don't base your decision on trendy ideas and Internet advice. Also, to address a specific question, degrees from better schools absolutely provide you with better opportunities. Many organizations restrict hiring to only certain schools, and the people you befriend will provide better opportunities in the future. Steve Ballmer became CEO of Microsoft because he knew Bill Gates at Harvard. Note that you can always go to a better graduate school too. If you don't know that, take it as s sign that you have a lot of research in front of you. Good luck!

Can anyone point to any reference where models depart from "closely-supervised end-to-end learning"?

In the article, LeCun & Manning argue this paradigm has some limitations, and I do agree. I'm thinking the field will evolve to systems becoming a combination of probabilistic logic-based engines (which represent formal causal reasoning) plus lots of deep models (which represent intuition, hypothesis generation and specialized tasks like vision).

That's definitely a good question, and one that I don't think is clearly addressed in the docs (so I might take the opportunity to turn this into a little blog post later). tl;dr - Airflow can support running multiple Python versions.

Here's a three-pronged answer:

1. PythonOperator - Assuming you're running Airflow on 3.6, you can run your 3.6 functions with the normal PythonOperator.

2. PythonVirtualenvOperator - Then, if upgrading your 2.7 code to 3.6 is an option, I would; if that's a hurdle... You can run multiple Python versions mixed using the PythonVirtualenvOperator [1] to run the other tasks in dedicated 2.7 etc virtual environments. That's pretty simple if it satisfies your requirements, but it's not a foolproof solution if your reason for being on 2.7 is complex or some system-level dependency that requires more.

3. DockerOperator - If the setup requires more complex things to be installed, you can use the DockerOperator [2] and build out a simple Python Docker image e.g., [3]. This is the method we use to run other languages like Scala and JavaScript via Airflow.

Feel free to reach out via email if you'd like to discuss more or have questions - taylor [at] astronomer.io. We like to help people get started with our Airflow and have written a bit of content for it.

Historically, college was a finishing school for the wealthy. This is not a new argument.

The new argument is that colleges should provide job training. Previously, this was the role of vocational or training schools.
This is a fairly good point. Personally, I believe this also opens a debate about open source software VS proprietary software. Customers of proprietary software companies usually have minimal influence on the priorities and timelines of where/when the product is going. Not to mention the opacity which makes it unable to modify the code or debug it effectively. Most of the time when an issue occurs, you are faced with unclear error codes/messages/documents. If there is no existing workaround or patch, you have to wait until your issue climbs up to the top of the vendor's priority list. Whereas in the open source community, many eyes are examing the source code and many hands (including yourself) are ready to jump in all the time, making it more possible that more bugs are exposed and quicker to get a fix or workaround.

It is productive to see political correctness as a religion.

It describes / prescribes some idealized, "correct" reality, and does not allow empirical reality contradict it. It also frowns upon any discussion of its postulates, unless the discussion is sure to confirm them, to the shame and chagrin of opponents. That is, it is dogmatic.

It also tries to extend itself wherever possible, without reservations about its applicability. It has largely captured universities (which were initially high clerical schools anyway). So, it is proselytic.

It promises a bright future where everybody is much happier, and nobody is hurt, because the pitiful nature of contemporary humans is overcome, and everyone is politically correct and can finally have safe, civilized, fruitful interactions.

But the most important is that the proponents are apparently not encouraged to think outside the box, but tend to use the creativity to apply templates that may not be discussed or doubted, else anger erupts.

The economic adversary is often greatly mitigated by federal Pell Grants[0] and similar state level programs, especially when the student attends a junior college for the first two years.

As the article pointed out, the difference isn't academic, or even really economics, it's cultural. It's the attitude that college is for muckity mucks, and just a place to get brainwashed, along with "My dad didn't college, and he was fine. So I don't have to go." (Never mind that the mine the father worked in closed 15 years ago.) This attitude isn't a rural thing, as much as it is a rural male thing.[1]

Even if we ignored all of this, and focused just on economics, Your "4 - 8 years [of] lost work experience", is most likely experience in nothing relevant to whatever job you get after college. Being cashier at Dollar General isn't relevant to really anything, except being a cashier somewhere. This is the type of job you get with no education past high school. Even if you were stretch "relevant" to "life skills like showing up on time", then just get the part time job in college like many college students.

The pi zero has no wireless, a single-core ARM11 CPU, no on-board flash storage, less than half as many GPIO pins, requires a higher supply voltage, etc etc.

The pi 3 is much more comparable, and at a much more comparable price, especially after you add in the price of the SD card, which is necessary. Pi 3 is also much bigger, and, I'm guessing, draws more power.
Right, they are basically weak references, but more efficient ones. Weak references involve not just a counter, but something that gets deallocated when the counter goes to zero. That adds complexity to a trivial operation.
