Tried similar stuff few months back. Start a simple socket listening at port 80. Use any browser to make connection. After recieving any connection on server, send a properly formated HTTP response ( precede with 200 ok and must include content-length, everything else I found was optional).
Now scale this to include custom root locations. Extending this to handle all the specifications the thousands of common protocols a server should handle will now feel like headache, so here I didn't continued anymore.

Next I wanted to replace the browser with my own client. Soon realized how huge of a obstacle I was heading towards. Got bogged down by the complexity of a simple browser and still havn't got started on this. Maybe someday :D

Forget about Treble, OEMs are the ones expected to deliver updates and they don't even have to certify their phones for Oreo, if they are initially released with an earlier version.

Hence why the majority of new 2018 devices thus far are all coming with Nougat.
I’d pay hundreds of dollars for a version of OED that shipped in a well-defined sqlite database. I’d even pay for updates.

This is actually great P.R for AWS. Dropbox relied on AWS primarily for a decade, focusing on features and growth. Only when cost cutting became relevant to valuation, i.e. pre-IPO, they decided to invest in their own infrastructure.

She might have quit the job without disclosing what has been going on. I don't want to guess what she's been thinking anyways, I was trying to tell in that sentence that if these things really happened, it's weird to me that she chose to just bear with it for 8 years. Especially in the US IT industry where switching jobs every six months does not sound off to noone.
Different inflation measures can diverge up to 1%/year, so at 50 years, the choice matters a lot. Also, things like "core CPI" get redefined through the years (in a way that almost always makes them lower) and other "hedonistic" adjustments are not universally accepted.
I worked for a lot of different managers in my career, both good and bad. At one point I was team lead, but didn't like it too much.

It always comes down to this (in technology): A good manager serves his team, a bad manager thinks his team serves him.

A good manager realises that his team members know more about the tech than he does (even if he is technical). To get estimates, he asks the people who know.

A good manager makes sure each team member can stay focussed on their job.

I didn't like being team lead too much, because I don't like administration, and I don't like to handle shit that you don't want to distract your team. At the end of the day, I was always happy when I could write code. Therefore I leave the 'shit' job for someone who likes it, but I'm glad some people prefer the other.
Looks like this is built on top of lxml and parse. I built an adapter over the bs4 interface in lxml, which was much faster than using bs4 with an lxml backend.

This is great news, as this space was dominated by bs4 in the Python ecosystem.

I’m curious about all the people in this thread that think that they can evade discriminatory pricing by using proxies or buying tickets anonymously. Do they not know how airlines work? They can’t sell you a ticket without your identity and your identity has to match the name on the ticket. You can’t get into the gate without a passport / government ID that matches the ticket. How do you plan to evade discriminatory pricing?

Carriers don't seem to have an issue with any of Google's phones being unlocked, I don't see why they would only require it on other manufacturers. They might prefer locked bootloaders, but Samsung has enough sales volume that I imagine they could do whatever they wanted.
Depends on the implementation. I have no loyalty to any particular airline and someone referencing a third party database containing my address/ZIP/employment history could reasonably deduce that I have disposable income - I could see myself either getting gouged as a result or getting a lower price in an attempt to secure a loyal customer.

An interesting side-effect I just thought of could be that business commuters' flight prices may increase, and business travelers may even prefer that. I have a consultant friend that is allowed to use personal cards for work-related expenses so he would enjoy the increased cash-back and miles. What a world of perverse incentives

Thanks, using DP to bound deviations of arbitrary functions of a model is a neat idea.

I wonder if it it makes sense going from generalization error to an estimate of something similar in spirit to (but not as strong as) differential privacy, as the top-level comment suggested?

For example I want to empirically argue that a particular function of my GMM, let's say the log-likelihood of x_i, is "private." To do so I form C iid train/test splits. For each split I estimate the density of the likelihood for train and test samples, and estimate an upper bound on their ratio. As a result I get C samples of epsilon, and I can use some kind of simple bound (Chebyshev?) on the probability of epsilon being within an interval.

The idea is that we already have some "privacy" [1] from the data-sampling distribution. So we don't necessarily need to add noise to our algorithm. And it would be interesting to measure this privacy (at least for a particular function of the model) empirically.

I prefer lxml.etree even for HTML on account of the parser. Either way, I don't understand what's not "for humans" about lxml. It provides a ton of simple and useful abstractions, is easy to learn, and is crazy robust and fast under the hood.
Ok. Makes it much more difficult. Still, assuming grammatically valid sequences of dictionary words, kerning would be known both within and between words. These texts however probably contain lots of abbreviations, footnote symbols, numbers, brackets etc, that make it likely to be a lot harder than just regular prose from dictionary words.

> If managers fail because the role is too hard for them, we can't expect to get better people, we need to make the role easier

Or maybe we need to start recognizing that engineering
management is a thing that has value, requires training, and is distinct from being an engineer with a strong personality.

It's telling to me that rather than elevate the role you're more inclined to destroy it.

> Their essay makes a positive contribution to the conversation

If this weren't a post-Zappos, post-Github, post-Uber world it might. As such it reads like a stale take from 2009, to me. But sure, we can just ignore the cycle of failure in the industry and keep writing the same stale think pieces. Hey check out my fresh new monad tutorial while you're at it, Monads are like burrito aquaducts where the black beans and delicious salsa flow from computation to computation across the continent.

> You're putting the cart before the horse there; in my experience a vertically-layered "microservice organization" like you describe is the product of overmanagement (Conway's law in action).

I've described, with the most pessimistic lens, 2 layers of management to the top of your company, with a focus on team collaboration. Having managers with strong engineering experience and technical sympathy decreases the depth of your organization, it doesn't increase it.

Please don't misrepresent my argument in your rush to dump on the idea of management.

> You don't need a deep technical roadmap, only a product roadmap, because you integrate with other teams at the product level, not the deep technical level. Even in the presence of relatively good management I've found that that's what works best. Think Amazon's famous "platform memo".

Funny then how Amazon has technical management. But as an example of planning, imagine a platform team runs a flight of APIs. There are multiple clients to these APIs all shipping products. Each has their own feature needs. If those teams collaborate on dependencies and optimize around what they need, everyone gets what they need faster. Not coordinating or planning provides a random outcome in a space dominated by sub-optimal outcomes.

> Engineering matters, but planning of engineering has been a counterproductive activity every time I've seen it attempted. Planning and management should be done at the feature level; when it comes to the technical "architecture", trust your technical professionals to figure it out themselves

This entire discussion is predicated on the notion that your managers are technical professionals facilitating this. It's weird how many people refuse to accept the idea that people can exist, while in the same forum glorifying hybrid roles like startup CTOs in the same forum who are obligated to do a lot of management functions AND be the basis of a strong technical department.

"If you look at the reason that the iPod exists, it's because these really great Japanese consumer electronics companies who kind of own the portable music market, invented it and owned it, couldn't do the appropriate software, couldn't conceive of and implement the appropriate software. Because an iPod's really just software. It's software in the iPod itself, it's software on the PC or the Mac, and it's software in the cloud for the store. And it's in a beautiful box, but it's software. If you look at what a Mac is, it's OS X, right? It's in a beautiful box, but it's OS X. And if you look at what an iPhone will hopefully be, it's software." - Steve Jobs (2007)

> Bond prices incorporate future expectations of real rates and inflation rates and then also associated risk premiums. Thus, a bond purchase will lose money only if realized rates come in higher than what is already discounted.

Isn’t the fact that bond interest rates falling for the past ~35 years — on a 5-year average — then a testament to the market being unable to predict future interest and inflation rates?

If the market were able to correctly predict future interest and inflation rates, the rate of interest wouldn’t change. So, as far as I can see, the fact that it has been dropping, on average, for the past three decades seems to indicate that the market fails at this prediction under our current monetary system.

Or, perhaps a better question: if the rate of inflation were to slowly increase by one percentage point per year, for the next 30 years, what would be the right real rate of interest right now — assuming we knew this were going to happen? In other words: how do you discount a rate that’s slowly but steadily changing (even if it’s in a known direction)?

With regards to short term rates, I should have explicitly written “the long/bond rate of interest” since the two indeed are fairly independent.

Then he should say the same thing about George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and all the other founders of this country. Compared to Snowden, they were much bigger criminals and their movement and war were extremely violent with many deaths. While they were far from perfect, I do think the leaders who formed this country were heroes. It's also a fact that they were criminals. So, I don't know. Is it impossible for a criminal to be a hero? I'd like to talk to any person who answers 'no,' yet reveres the founding fathers as heroes.

Proprietary software vendors market their software as being more secure through FUD in general. This isn't specific to the car industry.

What's sad is that this article uses exactly the same rhetorical tactics. The failures of Therac-25 had nothing to do with open vs. closed codebases. It had to do with quality control at the level of the engineering team.

> At least one person has already been killed in a crash while using a proprietary software auto-control system.

This is just a silly argument. If there were an adequate sample size of open auto-control systems you could make a case.

> Meanwhile, there has been not a single example yet about use of GPLv3 software that has harmed anyone.

Has there really not been an exploit used on an GPL webserver that hasn't been used to "harm" someone in some way? Not much software has the impact to directly physically harm someone in the same way a car does. But user information and data?

There's so much more wrong with this article that it would take an even longer article to explain it. This is literally the stupidest thing I've read in years.

>That is rather a risk resulting from deflation.

There doesn't need to be deflation. As long as the real return on cash (around -2% when interest rates are zero) is higher than market safe return on investment (which can be lower than -2%) it can cause a gridlock in the investment market.

>If you're expanding production every year and you see the added revenue only the year after it's not difficult to see how inflation would have a negative impact (even if constant!).

I don't follow at all. Inflation means prices are rising with time. So the investment early in time is made when prices are lower and the revenues are made later when prices are higher and thus you make higher revenues relative to what you paid for your investment. Inflation helps you here!

Insufficient inflation would be the problem. You make your investment when prices are high so you pay a lot, then when it comes to sell your product you get a insufficiently high price and low profit.

It's all part of the cost of capital calculation:

Personally I prefer Samsung's OS to stock Google. Most bad behaviour and bloat comes from third party Android apps and Samsung includes better tools to detect battery drain and deny apps background processing. They also provide other features not found on Google phones, such as Knox Secure Folder (and Google were late to the party with split-screen and a file manager).
I doubt any airline would require you to input your passport number before giving you your price. The first airline that tries that will drive away their customers.
