Wow, that is the opposite of reassuring. The "purposes" could easily be "better profiling you to price insurance policies."

Most T&Cs aren't worth reading. They can be summed up as "by having seen this document, you have agreed to let us do whatever we want forever," and what really matters is whether such contracts are legally enforceable where you live.

I dunno, I think parts of their coverage would seem to demonstrate otherwise.

For instance, consider their Oscars article:

https://www.theknifemedia.com/world-news/how-did-the-oscars-...

Scroll all the way to the bottom to find their attempt at an "unbiased" article ("the raw data"). Now, maybe Oscars reporting is a special case and you can't do this for other kinds of articles, but isn't it worth a try?

Full article follows:

> The 90th Oscars awards ceremony airs to an estimated 26.5M viewers

> Jimmy Kimmel hosted the 90th Academy Awards ceremony on Sunday night. The “Oscars,” or Academy Awards of Merit, are given annually to “honor outstanding artistic and scientific achievements in theatrically released feature-length motion pictures,” according to the awards’ website.

> This year’s show was aired live from 8 to 11 p.m. eastern on ABC, to an estimated audience of 26.5 million viewers. It is the lowest number since the 1990s when the viewership data began being collected. The 2017 awards had 32.9 million viewers.

> Besides speaking about the nominated films and filmmaking, some presenters and award recipients spoke about other topics. While hosting, Kimmel made jokes about Fox News, President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.

> Best actress award winner Frances McDormand spoke about “inclusion riders,” a stipulation that actors can put in their contracts to ensure gender and ethnic diversity among cast and crew members of film projects that they work on. Presenters Kumail Nanjiani and Lupita Nyong’o spoke in support of “Dreamers,” referring to recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. Award winner Kristen Anderson-Lopez spoke about diversity and gender representation in the songwriter category.

> Award winners include:

> Guillermo del Toro’s “The Shape of Water” won for both Best Picture and Best Director.
> Frances McDormand earned Best Actress for her role in “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.”
> Gary Oldman won for Best Actor for his role in “Darkest Hour.”
> Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez received the Best Original Song award for the track “Remember Me” in “Coco.”
> Alexandre Desplat won Best Original Score for “The Shape of Water.”

> Sources: Breitbart, Fox News, The New York Times, The Oscars

One thing in there that has a tiny whiff of bias is mentioning the huge drop in viewership. IF there is some more favorable way of estimating the event's impact or importance, then including that bit would count in their framework as "slant". Did I miss anything else?

> is memory-safety the killer-app feature that makes people want to use Rust?

There are algebraic types with pattern matching, sane generics, actually good type inference, strong types that will help you declare behavior only once (as in normal vs. modular arithmetic), and a huge push for not having undefined behavior (that is mostly but not completely successful).

Any of those (and yes memory safety) would be enough of a killer feature on my view. There are still some things I dislike in Rust, but compared with C it's a complete no-brainer.

Another thing I want to point out to all those talking about the expense - buy an SDR. The RTL-SDR is cheap, and with direct sampling and a length of wire can receive HF.

That’s only one possible situation and not the overall preference. Small amounts of inflation, 1-3%, offer some helpful benefits. They offer companies a way to decrease wages otherwise held constant but not tracking decreases in output or marginal value (though I’d argue that’s not a great thing nor common - but is necessary to clear markets). They also act as a tax on holding currency. That’s helpful to the economy at large-you can literally lose 1-3% of your cash per annum or you can spend 1-3% of your holdings on goods/services you otherwise wouldn’t employ. There’s also a wealth transfer mechanism at play, in aggregate of such things. Further, there is a connection between money supply and gdp growth. Your money supply has to expand for the economy to expand.

Contrast that with the impacts of deflation:
If you know you’ll be able to buy more tomorrow with the same money, you’ll often choose to wait.

Because companies see fewer revenue for the same goods/services they have to cut costs - unemployment balloons.

Fewer people employed decreases demand overall. Leading to still more layoffs.

The deflationary forces spiral the economy lower and lower.

Any debt a person holds becomes dramatically more difficult to pay as their income decreases.

And all because the money supply remained constant or decreased in circulation.
If you are in anyway maker-inclined there are a bunch of QRP kits that are not expensive.

The use of fake/real is definitely manipulative.

Especially for people who are not (yet) particularly invested/interested, it signals that the "fake" ones are flawed and objectively worse in terms of quality, because of the parallel to fake (counterfeit) goods which often are.

Instead of fake, calling them synthetic or artificial would be more neutral choices. For "real" you could use "natural(ly occurring)" or similar.

If I remember the original request from ARRL one of the things they were looking for was HF operators who could use the data modes that exist in the ham world to allow communication to insurance company internet resources based in the mainland.

I thought this request was intriguing but wondered why they weren't able to deploy BGAN for this purpose. A surgeon friend of mine said that after Katrina sat phones were of minimal utility because the broadcast networks had contracts that were consuming virtually all of the bandwidth. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who can comment on this.

Some of the most interesting amateur radio technologies today are hybrid modes like DMR that leverage the internet along with traditional amateur radio technologies. With DMR it I have been able to speak from NYC to Malta with crystal clear signal from an HT. While this is fun and I like DMR, in some ways it is like a worldwide cellular party line. It would not be a go to solution for a situation like Puerto Rico.
As a rule, I use a person's last name when discussing writings, research, and general academic expression. I make an exception in Elon's case because, as another commenter implied, the word "Musk" in English carries some unfortunate connotations.

Ok imagine you are seeing a screen and from behind you is coming a photon. How do you know whether there was a double slit behind you or not for a single photon?

Most of the comments seem to read a lot more into this that what the author of the article was proposing. The algorithm is sound. Talk to one person, get some knowledge/opinions and a list of other people to talk to. Repeat until no one is suggesting anyone new. The goal of the algorithm is to get a base sample of the project or organization so you can figure out where to start contributing and/or learning more. I have seen ( similar approach ) work in both individual contributor, manager, and investor role.

What the interviewer does with that information is another story ( likely multiple other stories ).

Good question! I set my prompt to verify that they at least know my first or last name, so it’s pretty good at reducing false positives. For calls that do get filtered, I keep the recorded audio snippets used for keyword extraction (originally used for debugging). If I had more time, I’d implement sending a muted/non-ringing push notification whenever a call gets filtered with an option to play back the recorded audio snippets from that session.

Scaling deep learning with Horovod and RiseML
One big difference between TLS 1.3 and 1.2 is that TLS 1.3 mandates forward security.

So with TLS 1.2 a server can be configured to only allow ciphers without forward security. Then a capture of encrypted traffic can be decoded later. Or a middle box can be provided with the server's private key to analyse traffic.

For TLS 1.3 this has to change. Any capture or monitoring device has to either perform the DH exchange itself, or receive the session keys from the server.
I agree he is arrogant over sensitive and a bit childish, so are manny other brilliant people eg Steve Jobs. I’m not saying he’s perfect just saying that his work is far more interesting to me than Pinker’s. It’s apparent to me that humans have advanced dramatically in mnay ways hence I learnt nothing from Pinker, unlike from Fooled by Randomness and Anti Fragile which influenced me significantly (not so much Skin in the Game). Pinker glosses over tremendous Global problems no where near being resolved.
My experience is that people who come to feel about Rails the way he describes in the intro (I went through this exact progression, myself) end up moving on to another stack entirely, typically either Elixir or JS.

My personal shift has been to JS, because you do can everything from front-end to AWS to postgres (via plv8) with it -- it covers the whole stack. And with the advent of ES6, it's just not that bad as a language. It's not great, but it's not the misery it once was, either.

As the author says, Rails is great for starting out. It's great for starting projects, and it's great for starting as a web developer. But I know first-hand the pain of growing and scaling a monolithic Rails app that he speaks of, and for projects that I start from scratch I no longer use it.
I honestly thought about this last night. Current role is a lot of React/Redux/Typescript, which appears to be hot new thing, but is not particularly well paid here in the Southeast. Plus I miss being immersed in dealing with data so I need to lean to a full stack role again
They still enjoy name recognition from the era when they were pretty much the only player in high-performance enterprise-grade networking equipment.

> I'm interested to see if people's opinions around this have changed at all

I've been using Rust for a while and I can mention one thing that I changed my mind about:

With time, and as you build more things on top of previously built ones and the knowledge you will gain, Rust features were promoted from "good to have" to absolutely fundamental for building things on top of them.
There is no going back to C/C++ once you get used to ADT, cargo, helpful error messages, train model release cycle (new features with full backward compatibility every six weeks) and most importantly - with what people do with having those features. C becomes more dated every day and it becomes more and more noticeable. C++ may pick some of Rust features in some future, but you will still have to work with code without them for a very long time.

> This is primarily for me to build more performance conscious applications and tools for my work

For me Rust makes much easier to just focus on the problem I want to solve and not worry much about the tooling, build system and other unrelated details, so I find far more practical.
It may be different if you need close cooperation with C/C++ ecosystem.

Boz has mainly changed position within Facebook where a lot of things go right: people know what they are going and why; they get challenged over it often enough to be able to explain themselves succinctly; power is held by people who make things happen and can explain what is necessary.

I have applied the same method to several companies, and that didn’t lead to a lot of goodwill in highly dysfunctional places. The crux of the issue is that in many places, people can’t offer a consistent and exhaustive view of their work in 25 minutes. Being about to do that well enough that no other meeting is necessary it’s actually quite typical of Facebook where the pressure for people’s time and meeting rooms is so high that most meetings are 30-minute long; most people are smart and curious enough to be able to structure their entire role and its context, and fit that in a cogent 25 minutes, including questions. Elsewhere, you might get into trouble for trying to make sense of a lot of frustration, under-optimal decisions and misunderstandings.
I tried out Emacs when I started learning Clojure (through Clojure for the Brave and True[0]) and didn't find it at all usable. Remembering the various chords was at best obnoxious and at worst, a huge productivity loss. It felt like it would take weeks or months before I was even close to productive.

Later, I tried picking it up again, but this time chose spacemacs. Hoooly crap, what a difference.

1. Discoverability. The helm UI is better than any docs, since it's there when and where I need it to find the thing. It also provides the ability to search for arbitrary commands, which is great when you're learning a new mode or layer.

2. Modal editing. I wasn't a vim user before, but spacemacs has converted me over to the modal editing camp. It makes a ton of sense now and is a joy to use alongside Emacs' power.

3. The layer system is way easier to use than ELPA directly and takes most of the pain of configuring packages away.

For someone who wanted the power of Emacs without having to touch the insides, spacemacs is wonderful and has fully converted me over to using it everyday!

XLM and everything else on a ledger like Stellar's has counterparty risk, because consensus on these types of ledgers is established by a set of trusted third parties. The TTPs are counterparties, and if they fail, the ledger fails.

>>IMO it is a trade off between degree of trust and scalability.

In my opinion, the right approach to managing this trade-off is to build more centralized platforms on top of the decentralized base layer. That way they have a highly immutable/trustworthy base layer they can all interact on.

An example of this approach is the POA Network, which uses a set of US public notaries to run high throughput validator nodes for a permissioned instance of Ethereum. This permissioned ledger is a side chain of the Ethereum main chain, which can interoperate with it, and has the advantage of being able to scale to 1000s of transactions per second. One could envision multiple trusted or semi-trusted ledgers operating on top of a decentralized ledger that acts as the settlement layer.
