"there is reputational risk for IBM in not helping us fix this,”" - not true. IBM has a long history of exactly this kind of problem. Canada didn't care about their existing poor reputation and the next government to hire them won't either.
Audio streaming not including voice calls I assume, because those are absolutely latency sensitive.

Are your terminals going to include TCP Performance Enhancing Proxies (PEPs)? The TCP three way handshake followed by the TLS handshake makes it kind of painful to browse on an unaccelerated network with a GEO hop. And this is before you get to the latency from the ground station to the website. The problem gets even worse in Web2.0 world where everything is running off of tiny queries that the web app developers assume will be back in 50ms or so.

TCP PEPs can only do so much too (cutting down on the roundtrips and ramping up the window size more quickly), eventually you hit the hard limits of physics.
Oh they do leave a trace. Plenty of neuroimaging papers I've not read are on long term meditators. There's a good Sam Harris ep. on this topic.

Surely the actual CA has a database of certificates it has issued and by which reseller?
This is a good hiring pitch, short and to the point, keep it up.

Building Ethereum based apps for both public (Web3-Accounts/Etherscan/Infura/Metamask) and private chain deployments (Web3 - Parity PoA). Previous blockchain experience not required.
I think the phrasing of your first sentence is fascinating. Does that mean you think that the behavior (union busting, incorporation, or the creation of financial markets, for example) was solely intended to have malicious consequences, and that there were no positive motivations or intent?

Also, it's not that odd. It's a direct response to the criticism you levy - that these things are not worth it. How are you to judge if you only take the immoral acts in a vacuum? You brought up slavery again; their conditions were not slave-like, simply impoverished.

I agree that it's a good idea to question whether periods of chaos, destruction or immorality are actually necessary for progress. It's been pretty much taken as a given since Hegel, but it's a good thing to verify and even within those boundaries there may be some behaviors we can effectively limit while leaving the good bits.

As to your final argument, I don't actually know if that's true, but it's immaterial because that's not how people have done it.
I am skeptical of that analysis.

I have worked over ssh over internet connections with satellite-class latency and I can say it is painful. (Emacs shell mode can help)

You probably think that 'the web' is a high latency application. It probably should be, and maybe it was in 2000. Since then, web developers have gotten into the habit of using AJAX indiscriminately, plus they feel pressured to add features such as customized fonts, advertising, third party tracking, etc. I am not sure if CDN is really a net positive when a web site might need to do 30 DNS lookups because it uses 30 CDNs. It just takes one of those lookups to be slow to obliterate the savings from the CDN. CDNs might help with the median, even the average load time, but I am not sure they help the 95% load time which is what causes customer pain.

Add up all those round trips and the overhead of access control (maybe those patents on slotted ALOHA for satellite applications have expired by now) and you are talking upwards of 0.5 sec and it doesn't take many round trips for that 0.5 sec to turn into 5 to 10 seconds.

Worst thing is that people who are developing locally or from places with fast connections to the data center will think these apps are really fast.

Nice! I stand corrected. Do you have a citation?

I'd take SpaceX's latency claims with a big grain of salt. They'll only be true if you're in close geographic proximity to one of their ground stations. Once you're routing packets between satellites to get to a ground station all bets are off.
Disagree about barrier to entry.

I run an office hours chat for my online classes powered by IRC. I use KiwiIRC as the front-end.

Students need only the web address of the web page I want them to go to. When they get there, they need only a username.

No signup, no verification, none of that. They're online, getting help in seconds.

Individual public channels requiring nickserv registration and all that? that's another story.

But seriously - the barrier to entry to get started is this:

I would have gone for the 8 hrs option. Polluting the ui with redundant information and flow on impact to reporting potentially. The impact of saving some hrs might end up amounting to even more. Also, testing and lifecycle of this approach could be worse. And a sign of how we sometimes get carried away by tge tech definition. Why call it 1 or more tickets rather than any tickets?
From a local perspective, they kind of probably were doing so (though no official judgements yet to prove/disprove that).

They have a rather limited local presence, but enormous amounts of foreign (Russian&area) deposits that constitute the vast majority of their deals and profit. It's an open question whether the particular deals were technically prohibited or not, but it quite certainly involved handling a large amount of shady money that wasn't freely usable in the west directly and so needed services of this bank.

I do fully admit that I haven't been keeping up to date on their latest changes, so that may be true. But IMO, 6 months isn't nearly enough time to forgive the major fuckups that they've been doing
What message do you think he sends to women? What messages does he send men about women?

Does he argue that the dominance of men in society (in the sense that the small group of people with power are mostly men) is natural and thus acceptable?

I have not read his book; I’m asking you because it sounds like you have and you derived value from it.
When I see these I think of the phrase "if you have to ask, you can't afford it".
Beautiful work. Totally shows what embedded engineers have to deal with sometimes to get their systems to work.

Software guys will point fingers at hardware guys and vice/versa, and once in a while it's everyone's fault simultaneously.
A senior cardiologist or a senior partner at a law firm is not remotely a typical professional at the height of their career. Even a typical physician or a typical lawyer is highly unlikely to ever reach that level. Cardiology is a high paying specialty that most physicians will not be in. Most lawyers will never even make it into big law much less make senior partner after making it into big law.
Index aliases are one of the most underappreciated features in ES. In general, when building an app that uses ES I’d recommend to always hide the actual index behind an alias. There’s a minor error in the post: you can write to an alias, but only if it points to exactly one index. By using an alias to read and write, the actual index is hidden from the app. This allows tweaking indices and doing test runs on two indices with different mappings/settings by modifying the alias. Especially when doing performance or scoring optimizations, this can massively improve your agility when testing such a change.
Interesting. I wonder if that choice would lead to a noticeable impact on perceived latency (from the perspective of a human end-user) under some high-load/pathological scenario.
To be polemic: So, what, we shouldn't even try?

Of course there's a limit to precision in a forum discussion, but yes, definitions are damn important in this context and it's perfectly possible to at least trying to aim at a basic level of precision.

To stay at this example: (natural) sciences are generally accepted to actually not be about learning (absolute, verified) truths - and that is a cornerstone of nat. science and one of the main properties distinguishing it from religion.

We can learn about singular facts and use reason to make generalizations and predictions from those facts that we can try to validate through experiment, thus leading to theories. But scientific theories are never true, they are valid. They are a model, an approximation of what we think of reality, only validated through repeated, but ultimately finite testing, and we can never be 100% sure that they aren't...hm, wrong. (I freely admit though, that it's at this point here where it starts to get hairy in the sense of your post, especially for a non-native speaker. :) )
No, IBM has conflated their consulting service with the rest of their technology by running under the same brand name.

If they want the benefits of sharing that brand between operations then they deserve the negatives that come along with it.
For the record, plenty of people came to my Super Bowl party in 2005.
Understanding NNs is easy. Understanding, collecting, and cleaning up data is the hard part.

Also, DL != ML.

Paraphrasing "The Tao of Network Protocols": If all you see is DL, you see nothing.
The statefulness is going to be a problem with current cryptographic APIs. There's another post quantum public key signature algorithm called SPHINCS that is supposed to be stateless and will be much more useful.
Meanwhile, my biggest issue with elasticsearch is that for any kind of system where you have indices of different sizes (eg you have several data models being indexed), your cluster will make no attempt at trying to distribute smartly and instead will stop at "same number of indices per node". Which means you very often end up with a very unbalanced cluster with regards to disk usage. For earlier versions there was a plugin that had a smarter allocator, which would look at disk usage when assigning nodes, but for any recent ES cluster (>2.0) you're left with a shrug.
I'm happy with my G5 Plus.

Decent battery life, nice screen, headphone jack, didn't break the bank and it doesn't look like it cost considerably less than half what a top tier phone does, camera isn't awesome but it's good enough and tbh I don't use it much.

I'd buy another if I broke it tomorrow.
Yes, with the addition that Trustico also don't know how to transmit key material as well. Basically DigiCert's summary nails it.
It all depends on the incentive structure. This product here is not the typical job agency, but a negotiation service that you can use when you already have an $100.000+ offer. Presumably, they will get paid proportional to the excess they can get for you on top of that, as either money or benefits (otherwise, you would just accept the offer).

The information asymmetry between the employee and company is huge: they know the market inside out, they negociate compensation packages every day and are strongly motivated to hide how bad they need to fill the particular position and how in-demand are those specific experts. Meanwhile, you only know your own salary and expectations, you are unable to objectively rank yourself and go on bits and scraps of information gathered here and there. This is a situation where you are ripe to be taken advantage of, especially on a booming market.

Where by "taken advantage of" I of course mean "sell your product for less than fair market value".
Fairness and fighting adversarial examples come to mind.
Big fan of turtlecoin, very welcoming community which is really easy to get code into. My first project I've done a lot of contributing to, simple to get involved and dig into the core codebase and learn more about what makes a crypto tick. I've learnt a lot about monero/bytecoin/cryptonote just from hacking away on some bugs in the code.
My experience with meditation has allowed me to be more accepting of my emotions, beyond just happiness - oddly enough, being willing to be unhappy has made me happier. But there are times I am rightfully sad and I allow those feelings to be felt and let go.

Maybe for you there is a lot of untapped happiness - by all means, ride that wave if you've got it. I had to figure out that I don't have that, my ocean moves with different currents.

So this obscenely simplistic model produces a certain result and it's interpreted as "confirming" that wealth comes from pure chance? Silliness.

Many holes we could poke in this one. First, there shouldn't just be one talent parameter. There should be many different types of talent, each of which contribute in their own unique way to a probability of wealth accumulation over a lifetime.

Most wealthy and successful people I've met are intelligent, confident and likeable people.
I don't think there are only 3 groups of people that oppose it. You can draw some nuance here. For example, many people believe that work helps give people a sense of purpose, and a mere basic income might enable people to make poor life decisions. A "basic minimum job" might still be a re-distributive system, but with some nuance.
The article hammers home that you should not trust client-side javascript crypto. And you shouldn't. Because you can't. Because 30 points in that article. If we spent all day on this forum, we could go back and forth over every single one, re-establishing the above held truth.

It's like a Cloud OS. If my whole OS is running in the cloud, you can claim it's secure, "because crypto". But it's still actually running on a random pizza box in one of Google's datacenters. There's like 10 layers of trust and assurance needed between them and me.

If my OS is running on my laptop, I only need to trust ME, and maybe Intel's dodgy engineers, and whoever wrote the rest of what's running on my laptop. The control over the security of the system stays in my hands.

That is the basic trust problem, and on top of that are all the other technical problems that make client-side javascript crypto untrustworthy. Even if you solved all the other technical problems, I still don't trust what you are delivering to me more than I trust code that lives on my machine, designed by cryptographers to the highest standards of consumer security.
Its difficult to see the point in voting for a lot people when the districts and elections are more or less heavily weighted, by those (party/individual) being elected, in their favor. Have you seen voting districts drawn on maps? No sensible meaning whatsoever.
functionally and computationally, the tiny C program and the java monster would be doing the same thing....

So yes, they're comparable. Choosing inefficient ways to do things (in the case of Java) is not a way to escape comparison.
Sort of but on a smaller time scale. Like after a demo or proof of concept, getting a paid pilot that isn't a full deal but enough that you bring in some $ from it. The pilot is usually one-off or recurring for a few months vs longterm recurring revenue.
How does this compare to the CS229 lectures by Andrew Ng? (the recorded lectures, not the MOOC)
This is truth and it got greyed out because people here don't like to face criticism.
this is in part due to the lack of legal requirements around parental leave in the US (don't think that I'm apologizing for this behavior - but I do think that is one contributing factor)
Why would it be? It's going to end up in lots of places it's not supposed to be. Better generate the private key where it's needed and never have it leave the system.
Maybe this isn't "real-world" but I've made this cookiecutter template which generates projects with Makefiles less than 100 lines. It works decently well for my personal projects and for playing around. https://github.com/MatanSilver/cookiecutter-cproj

I don't know spefically about your internals, but you could try to install with user rights only (= no UAC) and then only do UAC when you need the block?
I bought one (the LimeSDR) and based on that experience declined to buy the mini. If I had to summarize the mismatch it was that MyriadRF, the folks who are the actual developers behind the systems, had a decidedly windows/microwave focus. If you wanted to build an LTE simulator and use PothOS on Windows there were people to talk to, but gnuradio and Linux support was hit or miss. That was made particularly challenging by the LimeSDR folks modifying and building tools in their own PPAs which had incompatible changes/libraries with the 'mainline' sources. As a result I could build a working gnuradio setup that only had LimeSDR support (through SoapySDR) or one that supported the other three SDRs I had simultaneously. That was really painful.

The 'microwave' focus was particularly apparent when, by default, there was no reasonable way to listen in on things below about 200Mhz. (all the FM band for example). They later offered an HF mod which was to remove an inductor(coil) from the front end selector on one of the antenna inputs to give it better frequency response.

Even with the change I found a number of systems with better performance in the low bands. It isn't a deal killer but it means if you're going to be exploring the low bands you probably want an upconverter.
Which is just about enough to pay for a standard of living comparable to what you can afford on $85k/year in nearly the entire rest of the country.
Thanks for the feedback. I thought I had solved that with the "Why a New Unix Shell?" link at the very top, but I understand you still have to read a bunch of text to answer your questions.

My main goal right is to have sophisticated users try it and give bug reports. It's not ready for people to use as their daily shell (and that isn't even the primary purpose of the project. As explained in the FAQ, I'm focused on shell as a programming language first.)

Some people have tried it and reported bugs, but I could use more reports. So I suppose I could try to sell it a little more and maybe get more feedback. But overall I feel like it's gotten a lot of feedback and attention. I'll think about whether it makes sense to "sell it" more.

The other thing I would like is to attract experienced developers who have implemented VMs and programming languages. Most of those people are working on their own projects. But I think many of them understand my project and half of the blog posts are aimed at that audience.
And then that technician rate is X times what a technician rate would be for pure software dev.. what is your point?

Honestly? The exact problem I'm dealing with at work right now.

We're trying to re-write our recommender for artist music stations at iHeartRadio (aka "I'll listen to Drake or Kendrick Lamar's station at the gym today"). Just today, I tried adding negative sampling to the matrix I'm factorizing, hoping it encourages spread in the embeddings learned for artists in certain types of genres.

I have a MS, but not a lot of research experience. It would have taken me a while to find this solution on my own. However, the moment I described this problem to my manager - a PhD graduate with several years of research and industry experience - he immediately suggested negative sampling.

What I learned during my MS helped me grok the math immediately. We're adding noise to the training set and penalizing vectors lengths to avoid overfitting. Easy! Identifying a solution worth exploring? Not easy, at least without a degree or significant experience.

(There's also the chance I should know this, in which case I have some reading to do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

I have this issue as well. I just over-allocate nodes to my cluster so every node is comfortably below a disk usage threshold rather than waste time on optimizing this.
Ha, funny story about that.

My brother-in-law's uncle is a doctor (specialist) in Queensland. A couple of years ago he told us a story about this. Because of the massive screwups a bunch of private practitioners like himself weren't getting paid by the state government for work they did for the public health system.

It reached the point where a lot of doctors were simply not going to provide nonessential services if they continued to not get paid (this went on for a year or more). So some workers in the state health department intervened to help resolve the situation. I don't remember the specifics but they essentially approved an advancement that sort of looked like a loan as far as the government system was concerned.

So this guy did get paid. Almost a year later he started getting threatening letters from the government for defaulting on his loan and I think they were threatening court action.

The health department who organized this were sympathetic but said because of the system their hands were tied.

This actually reached the point of the government initiating an investigation and potentially having ramifications for his medical license with the health department seemingly powerless to stop these wheels that were put in motion and looked to be headed to court.

So this guy ended up sending a letter to the health minister threatening to not provide any medical services to the state government at all if this wasn't resolved. Now this would actually have left the state in a pickle as for some things he was the only provider in the state, basically.

Sure enough it was resolved within 2 weeks and the health minister apologized.

Anyway, from this one anecdote it certainly seemed like Queensland health was a disaster.
If you are using SQL Server, you may be interested to hear this already exists for .NET:

It can both parse and generate SQL scripts. I've been leaning on it heavily for some of our non-trival query APIs.
