I'd argue that there's a moral one /assuming it falls in to your observation/.

There is /not/ a moral obligation to actively go looking for and judge someone as a normal individual. Rifling through another's possessions without probable cause is already wrong for actual law enforcement, let alone normal people.

I guess what I'm saying is, if in the course of normal actions I do something (like opening the web browser and the default tiles are... or the background of the desktop is) and it's obvious that this is something the individual went of the way to see / keep, that's one thing.

If it's some BS ad that probably got pulled in via automation that's another question. Once you pull in individuals politically motivated to be 'tough on crime' for re-election or future offices/career developments it's likely going to be at least a major hassle even if they're actually innocent of the intent to commit a crime.
What if the plumber is repairing, say, your toilet and finds a bunch of unlawful pictures hidden in there?

What if you call a plumber to repair your hot water system, and the plumber then uses a drain inspection camera to search all your plumbing, and everything connected to it, for unlawful pictures?
You can't easily go buy a fraction of every stock in the S&P 500 whereas I can easily go buy a fraction of the coins in the Coinbase index. This means it is easy for me to go turn $100 into a market cap weighted index of the 4 coins on Coinbase, but it would be impossible for me to go turn $100 into fractional shares of all the companies in the S&P 500.
Reading this article is remarkably comical. I understand what they did is labeled as criminal. Yet it's funny how a lot of businesses are similar and in this world they're legal.

"I have a new found respect for man-made fibres like polyester, polypropylene etc as producing those fibres is so much cleaner than natural goods, and instead of having to spend a lot of energy getting the fabric to "feel" right, you just modify the properties of the fibre by changing how its produced."

One of the bigger problems with many such fabrics is they don't breathe. This can be a really big problem for women, who can get vaginal yeast infections from non-cotton underwear and/or tight pants, often made with a nice stretchy material with plenty of man-made fibers woven into the cotton. It can also be an issue with socks. I personally have to wear breathable socks and shoes (usually cotton or wool socks and leather or fabric shoes) to keep from having athletes foot quite often.

Once the man-made fabrics can actually compete with these sorts of things found with natural fabrics and have an affordable price point - it seems more feasible to wear such garments most of the time.
I have an Akitio Node. It's noisy as hell, but fits a full sized GPU and quite hackable - there are some silent fans mods if it bothers you.

There are plenty of gotchas, so make sure you read up on egpu.io and /r/eGPU

But once setup, and when Windows doesn't break everything with an update (happened with the Fall Creators update), works great and performance should be within 90-95% of a desktop setup, provided you're using an external monitor. You can use the internal LCD, but TB2 bandwidth will be the bottleneck in that case, and you'll get a bigger performance hit.

People weren't objecting to Walmart solely out of a "personal vendetta". They ostensibly wanted local retail because it makes for a more tightly-knit/healthier community. You can call it sentimentality but it's not something with no value, especially in small communities.
For me, doing little blinky things and other small projects, the library management was "good enough for me to not notice", but I've also never used Altium.

I didn't like my first install as it required me to be on the internet for library parts. On a later install I found the option to have them locally and that works better for doing layouts on airplane trips.

I tried Eagle a few years ago enough to make a couple designs, but never got proficient at it, just "passable". I found KiCAD easier than Eagle, but it was also several years later and my second such package, so I'm sure just being deeper in the hobby was a big part of that ease.
Depends what you're used to. The library management is still split between footprint and symbol (more like old Protel) with links made between the two using an external tool. IMO the PCB layout makes up for the extra messing around (when compared to Eagle's, which is the worst I've used).
There are also great disadvantages from owning coins yourself, like physical security.
That is also my understanding.

So in the case where, as suggested in another comment, where a computer tech, or anyone with access to you device, plants the material in order to collect the bounty, while probably annoying and stressful, should auto-resolve during the investigation / discovery.

About $60, though it was sponsored by the accelerator I was in. Really good designer: https://studio.envato.com/users/sukiafat

He did everything in a couple days. I just had to give him a rough idea of things I like. I would 100% recommend.

The real value in hiring logo designers is that they save time. It takes me a really long time to be satisfied with color contrast or font weight. Everyone has an eye for these things even when they don't know why it's off. Logos create an image of professionalism.

$60 is about half a day of work for most of us, at most. If you can save half a day by hiring a professional, you're already ahead. And it's not just the logo you get but your brand colors.

Pretty cool! I use the "Retirement Planner" from Personal Capital (like Mint but for investments)

Some of the notable features are:

- Adding future income events (social security, pension, etc)

- Inflation adjusted.

- Set future spending goals (buying a house, wedding, health care)

- You can also save different simulations and get a percentage chance of hitting that goal. I have one for if Social Security doesn't exist when I retire, another one for early retirement, etc.

It's free to sign up. https://personalcapital.com/

They have a referral promotion going on right now. You get a $20 Amazon gift card and I receive a $20 Amazon for each referral. I couldn't find the HN rules about referrals so if it's in violation, I'll remove it. https://www.talkable.com/x/v3V09g

Lol. It’s not about risk, it’s about keeping poor people out of the market. It’s why they are trying to change the rules to make it even harder—because there are simply too many people with a million in cash liquidity today. Can’t have that.
I can speak for Java only. Most of my Java project, which are using Spring Boot and lots of libraries, gradle (previous is maven) works just fine. If there's any build issue, assume that it's not compilation issue, I just delete the `build/` and `.gradle` folders, then `./gradlew clean build` again.

I've took a hard look as bazel, for what they claim to be fast, correct, but the complicated setup and document just put me off.

Why should we consider bazel over gradle or maven for Java, or any other JVM languages?
That is not always true. Possession alone can sometimes be a crime if the crime has strict liability. See https://kellerlawoffices.com/child-pornography-accidental-po...

I'd like to offer a more optimistic counter view.

I think it's likely that deep learning has stumbled upon something deep and profound. And now we're at the point of struggling to make sense of it. Of course things are messy: we're knee deep in the business of trying to start to sort things out.

In the optimistic view, the ideas we're grappling with -- ideas like feature visualization, attribution, etc -- might be the seeds of deep abstractions like calculus or information theory. (Of course, these early versions are messy! For example, early calculus was deeply criticized by figures like Berkeley, and took more than a century to put on firm footing via the introduction of limits.) Powerful, novel abstractions may not look like what you expect at first.

I do think it's very reasonable of you to be skeptical, of course. Most attempts to craft new ways of thinking about hard problems don't pan out. But I think it's worth pushing really hard on them, because if they do they're very valuable. I feel like we have initial promising results -- give us a decade to see where they go! :)

But we could also be totally barking up the wrong tree. :)

> What's more- this only works with vision, where activations can sort of map to images. It's no use for, say, text, sound, or other types of data (despite what the article says).

That's a reasonable concern. We didn't give any demonstrations of our methods outside vision in the article. I can say that we have done very early-stage prototypes that suggestion similar interfaces work in other domains. Of course, instead of images you get symbols in what ever domain you're working with -- such as audio or text.
This is a pretty stupid article. No one is pretending that they're a genius, but this guy is just full of inaccuracies. Let me break it down to save other people time and energy (I have a little to spare):

1. "but that complexity comes from repetition and a random number generator" - Most of the complexity comes from trying to solve non-convex optimization problems via SGD. "Repetition" doesn't make sense unless you're talking about vectorization (you're not), and an rng has little relevance.

2. "Congrats! You took the above code, and looped the loop again." - sure, if that were true then people would have trained deep neural networks in the 90s. Instead we needed researchers (see? geniuses) to invent batch normalization, highway networks, CNNs, dropout, etc. Also, that's not an "recursive neural network", that's a recurrent one.

3. "So you trained a neural network using Nvidia GPUs and moved it to the phone…" - this entire section makes so little sense I don't know where to start. Neural networks are, for the most part, robust to small rng differences - that's why they have surprising generalizability. I have no idea what this guy is trying to say about phones and GPUs though.

4. "What it does well is help you visualize what is happening in those 11 lines" - well, that's not the point, but I'm starting to understand that this guy doesn't get it.

5. "Building a neural network with 1 trait for every word in the English language would require a network that used as much computing power as all of Google." - I'm just going to let that one sit there.

...

"There is neural network code in my tool box."; sure, you sound like you've imported Tensorflow before (possibly?). But maybe before dismissing an entire field you should figure out how any of it works.
There's likely an affirmative defense, e.g., less than three images and you took reasonable measures to destroy them.

From a legal perspective, this is a common game of cat and mouse law enforcement regularly uses to circumvent the 4th amendment prohibition on unreasonable search and seizures without a warrant.

In other words if law enforcement illegally obtains evidence, that evidence can be suppressed and all evidence as a result (fruit of the poisonous tree doctrine). But the 4th amendment only applies to the government, so a non government actor can otherwise illegally obtain evidence (break in to your home and steal said evidence and turn it over to law enforcement) and you would not be able to suppress the evidence because the government didn’t violate your 4th amendment rights, another private citizen did.

In this case you get entities arguing geek squad is the government/acting on behalf the government, presumably because they took some small payments, on the other hand you have the governments arguement that geek squad is not acting on behalf of the government and in fact the criminals signed a contract allowing geek squad to search and seize evidence of a crime from the computers.

It’s a well settled area of law, but it’s controversial.
There is also BSDNT[0] (which is obviously BSD licensed) in case anyone is still interested... I think this takes the cake though (as it is MIT licensed and superior).

Oh, I am not one to throw this around lightly, and I agree with your general view on people who do. Unfortunately, in the world we live in today, it's hard to differentiate worthy examples with meaningless flotsam. Perhaps a better analogy would be the development of the atomic bomb. We now have engineers doing engineering for engineering's sake, developing something that will almost certainly be used to kill thousands of people (or more).

And it doesn't matter what Google thinks it will use it for, or what Google wants it to be used for. Our government wants drones that can assassinate people better with dubious or nonexistent evidence of their crimes. If you give them the technology to do it better, they will use it, even if you didn't intend it.

Fundamentally, Hillary Clinton's complicity in our drone program ended up being the primary reason I couldn't bring myself to cast a vote for her (I didn't vote Trump either, mind you).

Fun fact: the crypto rand "number" benchmark depends on the number you pass into it:

BenchmarkCryptoRand27-8	5000000	388 ns/op
BenchmarkCryptoRand28-8	3000000	356 ns/op
BenchmarkCryptoRand29-8	5000000	335 ns/op
BenchmarkCryptoRand30-8	5000000	327 ns/op
BenchmarkCryptoRand31-8	5000000	331 ns/op
BenchmarkCryptoRand32-8	5000000	322 ns/op
BenchmarkCryptoRand33-8	3000000	480 ns/op
BenchmarkCryptoRand34-8	3000000	474 ns/op

for benchmarks like

func BenchmarkCryptoRand32(b *testing.B) {
for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
_, err := crand.Int(crand.Reader, big.NewInt(32))
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
}
}

This is because the crypto/rand library is very very careful to give you unbiased random numbers.
Maybe we could get better at demanding better from Gun Manufacturers, Fossil Fuel and Chemical Companies while we’re at it?

The tech community has to get better at avoiding navel gazing. Hyperbolizing threats from tech, some theoretical and far off, while ignoring serious threats that affect he lives people everyday.

The majority of the real, actual suffering going on right now has little to do with tech. It’s the people turner into refugees thanks to geopolitics, it’s the DACA kids afraid ICE is just around the corner to break up their family, it’s the women being systemically assaulted, it’s the malnourished and maleducated kids among America’s poor. I wish half the attention spent on net neutrality or vertical search was targeted at lower items of the hierarchy of needs.

GP has a point and the examples you provided are not equivalent, as "Mommy" is a nickname given to every mother, but a child is not nicknamed "Baby" unless, well, Patrick Swayze is ready for the catch.

So it's:

and

"For Mommy's sanity, do Y."

or

"For a mother's sanity, do Y."

Your point was that trains are "self-driving cargo". If you'd left it at that, this would have been a clever comment.

I would mention that, gc (the official Go compiler) makes special optimization for string concatenation operation (+). If the number of strings to be concatenated is known at compile time, using + to concatenate strings is the most efficient.

package a

import "testing"
import "strings"

var strA, strB string
var x, y, z = "x", "y", "z"

func BenchmarkConcatString(b *testing.B) {
for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
strA = x + y + z
}
}

func BenchmarkConcatBuilder(b *testing.B) {
for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
var builder strings.Builder
builder.WriteString(x)
builder.WriteString(y)
builder.WriteString(z)
strB = builder.String()
}
}

Result:

Yes of course to deal with aging you must tackle the many age related illnesses.

Ideally it's the reverse. If you can prevent or repair the effects of aging, those conditions become much less harmful. 25 year olds don't have heart attacks or get Alzheimer's.

Why, for example does YC care enough about aging to want to find it in particular, rather than say, well any other major field of human health research?

The payoff is potentially much greater. Curing all cancer would only increase life expectancy by 3.2 years, because if you don't die of cancer when you're 75 then you'll have a stroke at 78 (https://www.quora.com/If-we-cure-cancer-so-nobody-dies-of-ca...). Eliminating the negative effects of aging would add many more years, plus they would be of much higher quality.

whilst being plausibly argued as being for the benefit of all humanity

Aging is terrible for everyone, rich and poor. Arguably it's even worse for the poor; the increased medical expenses and decreased mobility and ability to work are much easier to deal with if you have several million dollars lying around.

Yes and no. The costs of manufacturing may go down but it doesn't mean that it will be passed down to the consumers.

Generally speaking, selling cheaper is a bad business decision. It will increase costs and decrease earnings, you don't want to do that as a business. Prices should go up, not down.

In this specific case, we're talking about a niche brand appealing to an affluent audience. They milk their customers to give them good conscience. The price can't go down, that's against the business model.
