Am I the only one who looks at the DEC VT05 from 1970 and thinks that it still looks cool? I guess it's because I was 5 or so when Space 1999 was on, and everything looked like that, but I think there's something timeless and classic about the lines of the design.

But in the name of pragmatism, it is unlikely that whistleblowers would blow the whistle on a purely economical basis if the reward wasn't higher than that.

In Figure 2, have you noticed that every 25 words or so, there are off-pattern words? They are represented by visually differing lines (looks like a glitch, and it may be a glitch as this happens for all visualization charts).

What words correspond to these "glitches" for "mushroom" for example? In the case of "mushroom" there is a glitch line just below "earthstar".

Can you provide the full y-axis word vector for any of the visualization charts?

Nice work.

Kotlin’s Fancy Data Classes and How to Make the Most Out of Them
The user data is tied to the location of the data center. the files may not be replicated past the most proximal location for his use. Regular performance/networky issues then come into play.

They should have notified the users whose information was leaked, as soon as they knew about it.

The 50M users whose information was handed to Kogan, and then Kogan sold to CA, should have been notified by Facebook as soon as Facebook found out.

Those users did not agree to that kind of usage of their information.
The main difference is lack of shared state. Events are not copied necessarily nor immutable while messages are. Holding to that model also makes it easier to interpose a mediator or a buffer. Or serialize them to disk or database.

The benefit is easier multithreading, drawback is memory use (incl. GC churn and bandwidth) and/or complexities of copy on write in multithreaded environment.
The style is also not amenable to passing big amounts of data around directly.
(That is often worked around via explicit memory sharing or a database - and passing handles instead of data.)

Another name for a different flavour of this is reactive programming.
Ouch.

There are a lot of assumptions in that piece, especially regarding the motives of artists and the fan/idol relationship.

It is absolutely not a normal type market, and it shouldn't be treated like one. The way forward is not to inflate ticket prices, ensuring only the richest fans can afford to go to concerts, and screwing over the ordinary people.

The way forward is to make it illegal to resell tickets at higher than face value. That was implemented some years ago here, and scalping is a minor issue now. Fans are generally very good at self-policing and reporting price-gouging scalpers. Ticket prices did increase slightly over time, but certainly not on the level of $50 becoming $500, as posited in the article.

They do touch on that, but I don't think the solution is to completely stop resale. Just limit it to face value or less.

If artists were only interested in short-term profit, they would jack up the prices and only sell to their richest fans. But most of them look at the long perspective, the fact that there's a lot more to be gained in the long run by having a loyal fanbase that doesn't feel exploited.

For the fans who were complaining that they couldn't get tickets for low-seating high-interest events, well that's just too bad. You had the same chance as everyone else. I've sat in ticket queues (offline and online), I've furiously refreshed ticket pages for events with room for less than 100 people just to be sure to get a ticket, 5+ months in advance. I really like the system we have here, where a big wallet is not some kind of guarantee that you'll get a ticket.

If events get sold out, the onus is on the organizers and artists to either book additional shows, or come back again in 6 months or a year, possibly at a bigger venue.

If someone is a true fan, they'll be bummed about missing out, but also adamant to not miss out next time. And they certainly don't fly across the Atlantic for a Broadway show without having somehow secured a ticket beforehand. That's just silly.

> Moving liability to the banks is not an ideal solution.

Why not? It works pretty well in many countries.

Chip-and-pin credit cards work fine in practice, which is why they haven't been replaced. The only thing better is credit cards with contactless payment, which happens to be at that sweet spot where the tech benefits banks (less liability) and consumers (quicker).

I'll use a credit card over some shitty app any day.

> Why isn't there a oauth-like permission based system yet? Where I can authorize recurring payments of fixed/variable amounts, authorize one-time payments, etc, and manage all these merchant at one place?

Erm, in many countries you can, see direct debit. Again, solved problem. If your economy or banking system is fucked, that's a different problem, and tech may not be the answer.

Legally, I cannot collect any data and keep the source. So I do strip all the possible identification, until someone's effort to pin point to any personal data becomes economically unfeasible. I also tend to store as little as possible raw data and in some cases, I do data scrambling, where the data as in values is not important for the engine.

A demand to forget has to show that I have data on that person. Without this, claim is impossible. No invasion.

Money laundering with digital coins on small and large scale is going to become more and more common.

Look at Trump's ban on Venezuela's Petro Coins. Petro Coins are nothing more then a way for Venezuela to get around US sanctions.

I ran into an old friend at my brother's wedding who was recently back from Beijing. He studied there and was put onto the rowing team without much active choice on his part. He took occasional jobs for a few hours as the western guy. He'd get picked up and given a briefcase to hold. Sometimes he'd be taken on a tour of a factory. Sometimes it was his job to take something out of the briefcase and give it to someone. At least once his employer was a local police officer. He said that the impression he had was that he was evidence of working with some overseas company.
The example is a bit convoluted. Uber allows you to pay after the ride. I do it most of the time.

There is also an option of paying via cash. I will be surprised if Mumbai airport dint have any options to withdraw cash from an ATM.

Additionally, Paytm has seen people's money disappear from their wallets left and right. And now requires OTP if it detects that the login is from an unknown location. This secures people from getting hacked. Indian banks also do the same. I agree it can be a pain but sometimes security and comfort don't really align well.
Of course everyone else going at 35-40 are a hazard themselves in the first place.

I am tracking AliYun / Alibaba Cloud for some time now. They are expanding internationally with strong pace. You would not ramp up that amount of Capex without sales momentum. I hear that Alibaba Cloud is gaining significant traction outside of China and offer a highly interesting solution for non-Chinese companies to provide services in China (even assisting their customers to obtain the necessary licenses). Their product portfolio in China is significantly larger than their international offering - but that is growing as well. I was at their Cloud conferences in Hangzhou twice in 2017 and 2016 and honestly I was blown away by the depth and quality of their portfolio. From AI / ML over cybersecurity to quantum computing they are doing the right moves. I remember impressive figures on their DDoS protection solution. And they can do IoT and.. and... and.... And their compute and storage platform is massively scalable. Just look up what levels of traffic Alibaba could handle on its ‚singles day‘ event (comparable to black friday and cyber monday - combined). So for me Alibaba Cloud definitely has the chops to become a global Top 3 player! Definitely comparable to AWS, GCP, Azure and a platform you should test. Happy to elaborate more - PM me.

I don't understand why people (apart from Facebook, who surely want to change the story) are being pedantic about the use of "breach" or "data breach" by the journalists.

In lay usage the term "breach" seems fine in the article -- (typical definition: an act of breaking a law, promise, agreement, or relationship) -- as the data seems to have been retained and transferred contrary to a legally enforceable agreement -- albeit one that wasn't enforced.

Even the wikipedia definition of "data breach" covers it as we have unauthorized use ("A data breach is a security incident in which sensitive, protected or confidential data is copied, transmitted, viewed, stolen or used by an individual unauthorized to do so.")

Most reported data breaches are where data is stolen -- easier to prove, harder to cover up, etc -- but that doesn't mean this wasn't a breach or data breach. To satisfy the infosec crowd, the reporting could've been clearer to repeatedly make the distinction that this was unauthorised use and not data that was unlawfully obtained from Facebook in the first instance, but I don't thing the reporting is wrong.

Stemming is similar, but probably wouldn't help solving our problem because we're potentially dealing with word fragments shorter than a stem. Also, we're feeding the search query into a neural network, so we need to create a vector representation of it.

I don't think this article is very good. The main achievement of message passing is to decouple call stacks, and the reason why you do that is that you get more control about which threads a function is called from. You turn to message passing because you want to get away from callback spaghetti. The article doesn't even mention concurrency.

This is great and echoes a recent fascination for me. One application of compact word embeddings is that if they're small enough you can ship a whole model to the user in a web app so that semantic computations can be done entirely client-side, which is useful for privacy.
I did a naive 1-bit quantization a few months ago in order to fit a large-vocabulary word embedding into a smallish (< 3 MB) JSON file so that synonyms could be generated by the user without hitting a server. (See https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1SfbfnuNSlDRtUOpN1KNc... for a description and https://prototypes.cortico.ai/search-history/ for the application -- happy to send you more details/code if you want) I never got as far as formally evaluating the quality of these vectors, though.
I wish quite badly that the benefit of deactivating FB would outweigh the inconvenience, but FB has become such a mainstay that I'd lose touch with lots of people I really have no other way of contacting. I could say "good riddance," if there is no other way to contact them then perhaps they are not important enough to my life, but that's just not true. Or what about all the local forums (FB groups) in my city that have lots of immediate help about all sorts of things -- I'd immediately lose access to all that. I wish there was a better way, but I can't see myself getting rid of FB without a notable disruption to my life. #sad
