> There was a significant increase in accidents for the Monday immediately following the spring shift to DST (t=1.92, P=0.034). There was also a significant increase in number of accidents on the Sunday of the fall shift from DST (P<0.002). No significant changes were observed for the other days. A significant negative correlation with the year was found between the number of accidents on the Saturdays and Sundays but not Mondays.

For your congress problem it’s actually none of the reasons you listed. The cause of the discrepancy is the 20% approval rating is for congress as a whole, but people don’t vote for congress as a whole, they vote for individual representatives.

People do like their own representatives, and those approval ratings are
often very good in their own district. It’s the rest of congress they don’t like.

Yup, I do this as part of tai chi and qi gong (referred to as 'dan tian' breathing).

Seems to be a thing of the west to take elements of yoga, tai chi, daoism et al, and distill them - mindfulness comes to mind - and as devices they're good, but together they amount to so much more than the sum of their parts, hence the eastern penchant for a 'holistic' approach.

Traits: a new and useful template technique. Nathan Myers 1995
Having first class ray tracing primitives on the GPU gives us an easy way to implement a wide variety of effects, even with a relatively small number of rays. While we are certainly far from getting real time performance in generating images comparable to those made by offline rendering techniques, being able to trace rays into the scene efficiently does allow for new degrees of realism in real time renderers.

For example, diffuse indirect radiance tends to have be low frequency in space, so we can construct good approximations of it using only a few samples (see for example, voxel cone tracing). Tracing rays is an easy way to sample the geometry of the scene and construct a diffuse GI approximation.

Doing proper reflections and refractions are also not really possible with rasterization pipelines. Game engines do a lot of hacks to approximate reflections and don't really do proper refractions at all. With a ray tracing primitive, these effects become possible. For a good example of what a modern rasterization engine does see http://www.adriancourreges.com/blog/2016/09/09/doom-2016-gra....

Rasterization is very good at generating the visible geometric information in the scene which serves a purpose, but for general purpose lighting we need to be able to sample what's going on in non-visible parts of the scene.

I think having GPU support for ray tracing is exiting as a complement to existing rasterization techniques: You can generate the geometric information and attributes of your visible objects with rasterization and use ray tracing to sample your scene and get accurate light transport effects like reflections and global illumination.

Uber Suspends Driverless-Car Program After Pedestrian Is Killed
The recurring theme here is "autonomous car fails to read human intentions/behaviour". This has been a question in the past, with people saying autonomous cars drive unnaturally through intersections because they cannot figure out the intentions of other human drivers. The issue in this particular case is that the car can react faster once the pedestrian is detected as an obstacle, but it will take longer than a human driver to figure out that the pedestrian is going to become an obstacle. So overall reaction time might not be quicker.

Can a NN learn enough human behaviour to predict a "pedestrians about to walk in front of car" situation without somehow possessing a very high level of reasoning? I think yes. But there will always be some edge cases. One other interesting aspect is how different human cultures will probably mean different training is needed for each particular culture.
Cool site, but noticing an error: This compares AWS S3 single region pricing ($0.024/gb) to GCP GCS multi-region pricing ($0.026/gb) rather than GCP GCS single region pricing ($0.020/gb). Hopefully the creator/author will correct the discrepancy... Disclosure: I'm a pricing dweeb at Google Cloud

Which is awfully similar to JavaScript's much maligned 'with' statement.

Never understood the FUD and 'considered harmful' screeds against it. Yes I'm aware of the performance/optimization concerns, but honestly, the whole javascript language is a massive performance/optimization concern and we've managed pretty well.

Simple things like changing style properties on DOM elements:

with(element.style) {
display = "block";
marginLeft = "5px";
background = "green";
}

And of course with 'with', everything is a fluid interface, and with the flexibility of being able to enter code between the function calls.

Iran may be supplying some weapons, but their involvement is not comparable to the Saudi involvement. Even the arms supply is questionable.

The brand of loose coupling message buses offer seems like a mixed blessing to me.

In a more oldschool, bus-less message passing system, different modules can't talk to each other unless they know about each other. That's potential a source of tight coupling if you're binding to specific classes, but it doesn't need to be - you can also couple to a protocol, and be willing to chatter with anyone who speaks that protocol. But still, modules can't talk to other modules unless they're explicitly told about each other.

Pair this approach with an IoC-style architecture where the communication graph must be assembled in a single composition root that lives very close to the application's entry point, and you've got a great tool that gives you an easy way to monitor and manage the complexity of the application.

With a message bus, you're basically just taking that central composition point away and replacing it with a big ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I've been there, it can be very flexible when you want to build an application quickly, since you don't need to think about how messages will be routed. But I haven't found that the message bus reduces coupling. Since it takes away basically all the need to stop and think about what you're doing before subscribing to a message, you can quickly end up with all sorts of crazy functional dependencies that nobody fully understands because everybody was hacking them together independently.

I guess what I'm cautioning is, don't be too quick to conflate loose coupling with message buses. The one does require that you do the other, but that doesn't mean you can't do the other without the one.
> Are tariffs Trump's way of making up revenues for his tax cuts?

If they are, that's a stupid idea; tariff revene may make up for the revenue lost in regular taxes due to the tariffs themselves, but there is no level of tariff that is going to meaningfully offset the Trump tax cuts, and trying would just kill the economy.
> I have 2 friends that don't have Facebook, they get considerably fewer event invites, because it's such a hassle to plan with them.

Maybe what they need isn’t more parties, but different friends. That’s not a judgement on you — I don’t know you nor your friends, so if you think the hassle of inviting them does not outweigh the pleasure of their company, that’s your decision to make.

But maybe they don’t care. Maybe to them not being invited to a few (or even the majority of) events is worth it, considering the alternative. If you’ve asked them and got an answer, I’d be interested to know what it was.
Should you be able to share your data with whomever you wish? Yes, I agree to that.

OTOH you and I both know 99.99% of users don't understand what's going on with their data, so the question here is if adult users should be held responsible for something they don't understand and whether Facebook is actually responsible for not informing its users clearly of what was going on.

Do you think it would have made a difference if Facebook had used a red blinking message alerting users before sharing their personal data with a third party? I think so. So yeah, the responsibility is not 100% on Facebook's users.

Uber doesn't appear to have historically given a damn about the law, but AFAIK it has historically given a damn about its users. Facebook, OTOH, doesn't appear to be giving a damn about its users.

As for the law: there are plenty of unjust laws out there; I respect someone who fights unjust laws such as the taxi monopolies. I don't respect someone who fights just laws.
and my point was that this seemed like a false dichotomy.

Actually, the fees aren't that low: a) stripe charges 0.8% per ACH transaction, so that's almost a 2x profit margin at 1.5% fee; b) stripe also puts a cap of $5 per transaction, so the 2x profit margin is even higher once the transaction is over $625. Always be wary of % fees w/o a cap.

> The cure rights offer additional comfort that users of GPLv2 code have reasonable assurances of quiet use of that code, even if there is a temporary license noncompliance due to ambiguity, misunderstanding or otherwise. We also believe that community adoption of these rights will reduce the opportunity for copyright trolling.

It's hard to understand the problem being solved here. While I've heard of "patent trolling" I guess I've only thought of copyright trolling in the sense of the (poorly tested) automatons who issue DMCA takedown requests for audio/video on youtube.

I've heard about GPL enforcement but only in "good" context: copyright holders acting in good faith to get their licensees to comply with the license. Are there copyright holders engaging in abusive litigation?
All this lawyering over the definition of 'breach' is failing to see the forest for the trees. It is a breach of trust, even if not a breach of technical security controls.

"The right thing to do" from a programmers perspective is to never use any dependency which uses anything with *GPL as its license if they can use something else instead. Sometimes, the only viable option is licensed under one of these licenses and then you have to look very carefully and probably involve legal support, but for all the other cases life gets far easier if you just don't use such dependencies and take something with a less restrictive license.

No, the history of personality typing is a much more interesting story than that, and depends very specifically on data.

Myers/Briggs/Jung identified 4-5 personality "axes" on which people vary. How did they do that? They basically gave a bunch of people surveys with hundreds of questions and did PCA on the data. They found that 4-5 dimensions explained a lot of the variance. That was a new finding based on data, at the same time that the field of statistics was developing. And it gave insight into how people behave. It's important enough that we frequently use it as a heuristic in workplaces today.

In modern times, we can do the same on much larger data sets. Given Facebook "like" data for 50 million people, you can do dimensionality reduction on the data and extract personality "types". There's no question that this gives you information about people. The question is how well it can be weaponized - that's the debate around CA now.

Breach doesn't imply a mistake.

Anyway, the idea here is that CA breached Facebook users personal data by methods quite similar to phishing and FB look the other way. Not necessarily by design but maybe by a desire to exploit the platform as much as possible so that did not get in the way of people who were doing interesting things.
Because it's over-broad, outlawing for example immutable web server logs.

Laws against murder are good too, but I think we all agree that a law against murder which defined saying mean things as murder would be over-broad.
None of the other multi-region competitors provide multi-region durability "out of the box" (although S3 does offer cross region replication as an option), so you might consider distributing your data between two object stores if you need multi-region (AWS us-east-1 and Backblaze, for example). This ensure not only geographic redundancy, but also vendor redundancy (not to mention B2 is cheaper than S3).

This is a known problem and work is being done on it. I'm not sure whether there's work in the specific direction that you specified in your edit, but I did manage to find this paper from 2012 via a quick search: http://www.aclweb.org/anthology/P12-1092

This paper in particular has ~700 citations right now; I didn't go through them to see the latest work but this likely doesn't represent the cutting edge.

I imagine that marginal computational cost would be the deciding factor in choosing a more advanced model here. Granted, these embeddings are often generated infrequently so I don't see the harm in extra one-off training time. It's possible that choosing between definitions adds overhead elsewhere in the system.

I saw a billboard in central North Carolina which read "I am not medicine" or similar, with a sad-looking rhino closeup photo in the background.

Two thoughts on this:
1) Isn't this billboard in the wrong continent and language? North Americans in central NC are not the ones killing and consuming these endangered animals.

2) (cynically) Billboards are expensive. There must be money to be made in this misery. I guess we are ripe for knee-jerk guilt-trips and the donations that follow.
