No, which is why I didn't [link] it - I gave it as an example of internal criticism which postures an alternate reason for some of India's woes.

Thank goodness we're not resorting to hyperbole here. I'm not sure how much of a victim he is given his status and the historical gulf of time before his birth and the period in question.*

> What is surprising is that there are colonial apologists

Zzz, I think I tried to state I wasn't comfortable framing my response in terms endearing towards some of The Empire's worst excesses. A shame criticism must remain so rigidly polarised - I am sure that's how history was too, hard aligned and absolute.

CockroachDB is implemented on top of a key / value store. I don’t know too much about the internals, but a kv store with lots of degrees of consistency seems like a good primitive to build more complex data stores on top. For instance, indexes could live as immediately consistent sharded keys, while data stays eventually consistent (or user configurable).

So I just typed "skin cancer mortality rate by region" into DuckDuckGo and here are a few results from the first page:

the CDC on US Skin Cancer Rates By State: https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/skin/statistics/state.htm - if you squint there sure is a general north-south gradient, with LESS skin cancer in the South. Also note that "Melanoma is much more common among non-Hispanic whites than people of other races and ethnicities. More than 9 out of 10 cases of melanoma are diagnosed in non-Hispanic whites."

Forbes on "skin cancer hotspots of the world": https://www.forbes.com/2008/07/28/skin-cancer-hotspots-forbe...

relevant excerpt: "Studies have shown that while there is generally an increase in the incidence of melanoma as latitude decreases (closer to the equator), mortality from melanoma is four to six times higher in Nordic countries than in Mediterranean countries, according to the WHO." It then goes on to talk about cultural differences that essentially boil down to "people raised in sunny places get taught strategies for dealing with lots of sun".

You could probably find better studies, this is just five minutes of searching.

Well that's why I call it 4D. It's a multidimensional understanding of "banana" that crosses multiple sensory barriers.

As you more or less correctly point out, the way a DNN understands a 2D image of a banana is by basically compressing (convolving and pooling) an image into a mathematical "fingerprint" for which we provide a label. If the labeling process is homogenized then we can relatively rapidly generate inferences when testing the fingerprints on new images at a high probability.

That is to say the complexity of the "fingerprint" of a banana is several orders of magnitude greater in humans than it is for even our most advanced object detectors - if for no other reason than the mapped data is multi-sensory.

I worry you may be asking for a bit much in a thread discussing austerity and the rise of Nazism.
"The vision systems of autonomous vehicles, voice assistants able to spend money, and machine learning systems filtering unsavory content online all need to be trustworthy."

I feel like we're building up to some horrible situation here, because these systems are never going to be worthy of trust in the same way that a human is.

As just one example: as more and more of our lives happen digitally, more evidence of real crimes will be digital evidence. So these AI systems can be easily fooled into thinking you were in the wrong place or requested something that you didn't. And there is absolutely no way to correct the record.
That's a good point.

My point is it seems we are still quite a few steps behind.
My position with Telegram ICO is contrarian. I think it will be massively successful and actually makes sane investment right now.

Telegram is a defacto standard app for any Crypto user and integrating crypto makes total sense. Native crypto integration changes the telegram app into the largest crypto platform.

Too bad they decided to do an ICO, as it would be much better for the ecosystem to integrate Bitcoin or Eth (see status.im). But why do that when you can get a cool couple of B and roll your own.
>So if government policy is creating inflation, and therefore unemployment, why would a government "job guarantee" be a sensible response? More alcohol doesn't sober a drunk man; more intervention doesn't balance an economy.

Haven't read the article yet, but it sounds grim, I don't think it can be good for me.

Instead of forced sleep deprivation, try this for a week: intermittent fasting and calorie restriction, good nutrition (veggies, nuts, olive oil, eggs, etc.), no drinking (at all), going to bed early (like 10 pm), waking up early (at dawn in the summer at 4 am would be perfect), but naturally, without an alarm clock.

Doing this, you may find out that you only need 5-6 hours of sleep, especially in the summer. And moderate (outdoors) exercise - this is important.

Since a lot of you guys are in the bay area, you have a lot of sun during the year; that makes this routine a lot easier and more rewarding (sunshine increases the feeling of "high" for most people).

After doing this for a while, you might find out you're naturally high all the time, without going through crashes.
Sometimes I wonder if filling in my email, name, address and phone number does more damage than leaving the very little connected data i have.

I feel like I am going with my passport, to give all my information, along with all my emails, and all my adresses to a person who says they will remove me.

That data is going to the feds at best easily, and into a loophole otherwise. Governments are atleast a decade behind tech.
This is kind of my view.

Some are definitely operated by smart people e.g. Ondřej Surý offers his PHP packages for Ubuntu via a PPA (and via a regular apt repo for Debian).

As for the packages: they're literally just regular .deb packages, which means they're installed as root, which means yes they could do anything.

Of course you can also examine/extract them just like with a regular repo, but it's definitely an issue of trust for most people.

I trust that e.g the Varnish project, or Percona or the aforementioned Ondřej Surý are not putting shifty shit in their packages. I can't trust JimmyB on Launchpad the same way.
"Overfitting errors" is not an attack.

Handling these oddities will most likely require a strategy of smoothing out the complexity, rather than deepening it. My guess is that solving one of these kinds of problems will solve most or all of them together.
I try to do something like "80/20" in my team. 80% of time goes to current issues and 20% goes into refactoring or experiments. Management never sees this, it's just part of the regular estimates.

I don't seek to learn new languages - they sort of come by when I have a specific problem that I want to solve.

This where I write a few paragraphs about the various languages I learned, realize none of you people have time for reading this and delete it in favor of getting straight to the point:

Not having enough problems(challenges) to solve is usually a major hurdle. Ask yourself why do you want to learn this specific language? Does it solve a specific problem you have? If so, try to solve that problem using this language.

Recent example: I wanted to process audio in realtime and my default approach(JavaScript) just didn't cut it. I stumbled upon Rust and it proved to be a great language for such applications.
>48 note octave

That's somewhat of an exaggeration. There are embellishments of notes that border half and quarter-notes, but they are usually centered around a point on the 12 note octave.

Also, there is a price to be paid for the melodic complexity: there is essentially no place for harmony in the Indian tradition. On the other hand, there is a lot more room for improvisation, making it more akin to Jazz than to any Western classical form.

I'm really curious about this as well. The lecture is from 2008, so it's entirely possible that he or someone else has solved it by now, and I'd really be curious to know what the answer is. It's such a simple system of marbles and magnets, so it's pretty incredible that such an unintuitive thing would happen. You'd also expect that, given the simplicity of the system, any weird behavior would have some elementary explanation (elementary to trained physicists and mathematicians, anyway), but apparently not.

Stick around for the end of the video where he demonstrates an equally incredible and (at the time of the lecture) unexplained phenomenon with "chiral tippe tops".
I'm surprised this paper omits any mention of the Bavarian Soviet Republic [1]. In a paper discussing precisely what would have given the Nazi's more support, I don't understand how they managed to omit this. Like the paper discusses there was an increasingly radicalized conflict between far left and far right groups. This first came to organized violence when a group of communists and anarchists overthrew the government of Bavaria, a German state, and declared it the Bavarian Soviet Republic.

It was a brutal country for all month long that it existed. Guns were seized along with money, food, and most other necessities of the times. People's houses were stolen and given to vagrants. Factories, farms, and other production facilities were stolen from their owners and given to the workers. And the country rapidly began to face food and supply shortages, similar to what would happen to China during its "great leap forward."

And these shortages were met with comments from the government such as, "What does it matter [if we do not have milk]? ... Most of it goes to the children of the bourgeoisie anyway. We are not interested in keeping them alive. No harm if they die – they’d only grow into enemies of the proletariat." And on top of all of this, two of three of the leaders of the groups that overthrew the government were Jewish, at a time when many were already blaming Jews for Germany's defeat in WW1.

I'm certain there are many causes for the rise of the Nazis, but not even giving this event mention seems unreasonable. This is certainly one of the most important events in setting the stage for the political changes of the times.

What I take from this is not "austerity allows extremists to take over" but you need the middle and upper classes support to take over a country. The austerity part was just the bit that persuaded the middle classes to put up with all the rest of Hitlers rhetoric.

The spending cut was dramatic in the paper - 25% drop in government spending. In the UK our austerity program at the height of 2010-15 was a reduction in the growth of spending (not a nominal cut). AFAIK only greece has seen such a dramatic reduction in GDP (and I am not sure the government spending cuts have been so deep).

Additionally it's worth noting David Runciman's comments on Greece and Nazi party (#) here - he posits the major difference is one of age - Germany and Europe were young (25 years on average) then but now greece is a muchnolder population- old guys riot less it seems.

This looks like a decent paper on an area of interest but Runcimans presentation above reflects my thoughts - if we do screw up the world again, the threat this time will look different, come from a different angle. We should not just avoid the mistakes of history - we are really good at coming up with whole new mistakes as well.

Facebook was providing:

Cardholder Name

Expiry Date
Billing Address.

The only bits missing were CVV and the middle 6.

Yes, first 6 and last 4 are not considered sensitive for PCI compliance. However, like most security standards, the standard is a minimum, not what your target should be.

Given the ability for attackers to quickly guess CVV and the remaining digits[1], the attack becomes a numbers game. They don't care about _a_ card, they care about _any_ card.

This is why Visa and MasterCard are pushing to tokenize all cards - so the stored information is linked to the merchant storing it and can't be reused.

That's even before we take into account the account take over possibilities since those card details are used by other companies as verification for account recovery[2]. Yes, those vulnerabilities were closed, but that doesn't stop new companies from making the same mistakes.

Yes, it's impressive that they managed to prune the fields so quickly. Shows a very efficient escalation path!

I'll leave a more rigorous answer to your question to a doctor, but there is evidence that Alzheimers disease is caused by a buildup of "plaques" (beta-amyloid, a toxic protein) in the brain tissue. This buildup is removed during R.E.M sleep in those without the disease.

I've heard claims about sleep triggering a general "cleansing" of the brain, but I'm not a neurologist, so I can't say for certain there's evidence for the general case.
While you're definitely onto something, I think it's also worth pointing out that a lot of the scientists that really revolutionized their field were those who excelled at either intuitively or explicitly tackling the areas where human intuition was especially likely of doing poorly on (which in many cases acts as a good proxy for assumptions that other scientists have, in an unknown unknown sense, failed to question).
So? Isn't that evidence that they're genuine in their belief that Telegram won't succeed?

There is a logical answer though. He’s right. Each car is going to look out for itself primarily. They have to. No car is going to have a “sacrifice” mode.

This rings true for me. At one of my former employers our scrum masters came up with this idea of a ‘scrum-of-scrums’ where team leads would get together once every month and have a standup to talk about things they’re working on that could affect other teams. But it became a painful waste of time because some of the participants didn’t understand that we didn’t want to hear them talk about every single task their team worked on. Then we tried ‘release-train’ planning where the whole company would do 2 day company-stand ups. That was even worse.
The real problem was that the company had a weird cultural and engineering mismatch between hardware and software engineers and the upper management was too clueless and careless to coordinate between them.

You ascribe this to maturity, and while I agree, I think the more fundamental issue is one of developer talent and ability. Bright ideas from developers lacking these is not just unhelpful it is an active hindrance. Dealing with bad ideas takes time and energy, and people with little competence are often the most vocal.

As for maturity, what works the best in my view is to hire people of equally high competence but with different levels of experience. You need those people with 30 years experience, just as you need those right out of college. The former provides wisdom and the latter enthusiasm and optimism.
