Channel 2 Action News obtained an internal memo from the Atlanta Police Department saying that the city network had been hacked.

“The city network has been compromised. If you have not already, please unplug your Ethernet cable from your desktop in an effort to prevent possible corruption, but the damage may already have been done. Unfortunately, this may affect payroll. Please let everyone know that this problem is being aggressively addressed,” the memo said.

To be honest I’ve never bought into the idea of taxing companies where the idea/IP was created, it seems weird and designed by lobbyists to make taking tax revenue difficult.

These companies have played the game in terms of exploiting loopholes; I think they deserve everything they get.

Holy shit that's amazing. I've been wanting this service for a while, so badly that I've actually been building something similar for the last few weeks. I'll probably continue, since mine is slightly different in a couple of ways and its an interesting learning experience, but glad this is becoming more of a thing.

Regarding your points:

1) "explainable AI" is better in GA than in deep learning. GA gives you a structure that works and probably easier to understand than any Deep Learning model (which it is a huge math function). There are so many things that also doesn't make sense why they work in deep learning but we still use them, that is the same with GA.

2) Knowing the fitness function doesn't mean you can solve the problem. When the search space is so big you need something to search on it, and there is where GA can shine. It is also the same with Deep Learning and mostly evolutionary computation. The search space is so huge for a "brute force algorithm". You need heuristics and GA works well for some problems, the same way gradient descent works well for others too.

And what they were doing was illegal under existing laws- no need for new ones- unless Congress is just using Backpage as a smokescreen to hide their real motives.

You could replace Travis with Gitlab, since you are using AppVeyor for Windows anyway.

With GitLab ci, you can run their "gitlab-runner" command locally pretty easily. I use it often to check my builds before actually pushing. It's a simple Go CLI that requires no setup.

In my comment above, "tax advantages" is short for "tax advantages that may or may not apply depending on your individual financial situation, but should be carefully considered before making a huge financial decision like paying off a mortgage".
This bill is a complete disaster. Sometimes the EFF can be a bit dramatic; this is not one of those times. It's every bit as bad as they say it is.

Here is the text: https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/1865...

The key is 18 U.S.C. 1591. That statute creates criminal liability for those who use force or coercion to cause someone to engage in a commercial sex act, or anyone who "benefits, financially or by receiving anything of value, from participation in a venture" to do so. 18 U.S.C. 1591(a)(2). So far so good. You can get the guy who runs the sex trafficking business, not just the grunt who uses the force.

The bill amends 18 USC 1591(e) to state: "The term ‘participation in a venture’ means knowingly assisting, supporting, or facilitating a violation" of the foregoing provision.

One, this is grammatical lunacy. "Participation in a venture" means what you think it means: people who participate with intent to further the criminal enterprise. The bill amends section 1591 to define "participation in a venture" quite differently from its plain meaning. It's like a law that says: "as herein used, 'green' means green as well as blue and purple."

Two, what the heck does "knowingly facilitate" mean? Is it enough to know that, in the abstract, your service is used to facilitate sex trafficking? Because its guaranteed that services like gmail are used to facilitate sex trafficking. You couldn't say otherwise with a straight face. Or do you have actually intend your service to facilitate sex trafficking (like backpage arguably was doing)? If that was the intention, the drafters really screwed up because "knowing" is a lower standard than "intent." You learn that in the first year of law school.
I incorrectly assumed anyone discussing gun violence would know about the Dickey Amendment: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dickey_Amendment_(1996)

My arguments are not broken at all. To do the type of control you suggested above would mean putting guns in homes of people who would otherwise not have one. Previous studies have showed that owning a gun increases the odds of injury by gun. Putting subjects at that sort of risk for a perfect control study absolutely has ethical implications.
I don't think that, personally, at least its modern incarnation. But this just goes to show that opinions differ on this. Also we shouldn't necessarily attribute history to "authenticity" as many times the history is held up for marketing purposes and does not represent their modern approach.
This is one of those things I don't understand about about software engineering and developers lacking professionalism.

Articles and handwavy comments tend to dismiss technical debt as a shrivelling pesky geek who keeps waxing on about how vi is better than emacs. (Someone who doesn't have a lot of influence, nor as important).

Pushing techincal debt to be managed by the PO, Scrummaster, busuiness, and/or managers creates major concerns and problems with what you're producing. The passive agressive response: "well convince them" is naive and wrong. They don't care. If we've seen anything from the experiences below, they just end up hoping those days won't come.

Examples:

1. Experian- I'm fairly confident that they had at last one engineer there that bitched about how much the dependencies were falling behind. If they have good ones, there would have been talk about how to automate that process.

2. Half baked products/data loss bugs - (See mongo)

3. Frequent "redesigns of projects" - There are major companies out there that have had to redo their entire product range due to this. It can't possibly be affordable. I'm sure theres lot's of lessions on the migrations. But it's a lot more expensive in the long run. Side rant: I guess if you believe that you're going to go out of business tomorrw, this is justified.

My point:

1. Be a professional developer, get deep knowledge on frameworks

2. Take your time and develop correctly at the start

3. Build experience with engineering, not the latest JS library that ignores experience.

4. Actually give a shit. Venkat Subermanian made a great qoute at one time: Your code quality is a reflection about how you feel about yourself and your coworkers.
I ran into this recently. You probably created a GitLab account with your Gmail address first and then afterwards tried logging in with OAuth and encountered the 422. Try logging in without OAuth, then enable social sign in under https://gitlab.com/profile/account
Sure, and now Backpage is being prosecuted under current law, which is how the justice system should work. Do we really need another law to tighten the stranglehold on the entire internet, when current laws were apparently already enough to prosecute Backpage?
I think they were referring to purposely tanking.
I'm less interested in blame than I am in the engineering whys. Shouldn't LIDAR have seen her, even if I wouldn't blame a human for hitting her in the same situation?
That's the trap -- the problem is that to comply with the law with respect to these things, you need to provide a facility for interception and inspection that can trivially impact all things.

I'll give you an example where I've seen this impact. Due to an unrelated event, a past employer retained backup tapes which included certain information going back many years, which normally would have been lost in the normal cost of business. When a litigation event took place, they were forced to restore that data, which was inadvertently preserved.
not necessarily, 50-100 person team in random bank for example can’t even do all of the tickets they should in whatever timeframe they have less alone refactor something properly, and not cos they are busy, but for variety of other reasons, one of them being turnover.

this has a lot to do with how your code looks to begin with, bad code is generally hard to refactor, and refactoring is not a cure for bad code.
I'm not sure how closely we should analyze this footage. Its relatively low-quality dashcam footage, and I highly doubt its representative of what the car "sees" and what a human would see in similar conditions.

That being said, Uber's LIDAR should've seen the woman in the road, right? Does the range not go beyond the lane ahead?
Yea good points. I didn't mean "right of way" as a legal term, but as a common phrase which means you are responsible as a vehicle driver to not hit people, even if they are doing stupid, illegal things. If you've had a bad day at work you don't get to speed up and swerve into little Johnny as he runs across the street after his ball, then tell his parents "he shouldn't have been in the street" and drive away.

The dislocation caused by IBM’s cuts has been especially great because until recently the company encouraged its employees to think of themselves as “IBMers” and many operated under the assumption that they had career-long employment.

I tell everyone -- don't drink the Kool-Aid. Never believe that a company has any loyalty and always keep an eye on the market. Even if you are paid well now and see that your job isn't gaining you marketable skills -- leave. At the end of the day, as a person in technology, your major resources are your technical skills.

I will leave a company in a heartbeat if I see that the company's technical direction isn't in line with what the market wants. I'm in my 40s and biggest fear is being unemployable -- not being unemployed.

I haven't had to do it yet, but hopefully, I would have the discipline to leave a job where I'm overpaid with respect to the market to take a job that pays a little less that keeps me competitive.
Working out the Stern-Brocot tree using modular arithmetic leads to some finite shapes because after a while the calculation repeats itself. For example, using mod 5 you get a dodecahedron! These things are called modular curves (iirc.) It's a little bit tricky to figure this out, one hint is that every fraction has two names a/b and -a/-b. In modular arithmetic this is important, eg. 2/3 == -2/-3 == 3/2. So every node of the tree has two labels. (Warning: I may not be explaining this very well.) Once you get to mod 7 you get a three-holed donut shape, called the Klein quartic.
I guess my impression was that the true difficulty of the problem wasn't understood by the OP, which is why suggesting that we simply decide to change it won't work.

Its like saying: hey eating a lot is not good for you. Why don't you just decide not to eat so much? And the answer is: there are real biological/evolutionary/genetic reasons which make that decision non-trivial to make.

Just to echo on the search for authenticity, many places in the US will serve food at a higher level of quality than many places in the country of origin. Abroad, the food comes under the same economic pressure as anything else, and most of what is available cheaply will be mass-produced somewhere and sold out to people who are eking out a living reselling it to consumers. The difference in the country of the origin is that the local industrialized production of the ingredients will make the product cheaper compared to US restaurant prices, and it will be available more widely than the one or two restaurants in the US city who make the food, but it's definitely not as high quality as the US restauranteurs who need to make more of the ingredients from scratch.

It's one thing to object to food being sold as a certain style when that style would never include some of the ingredients that are being included, but it's well more important to just make delicious food.

The problem is that video is deceptively dark. Video cameras don't pick up nearly the same amount of light as humans eyes do and there are even photos circulating around showing it significantly brighter in this area (to the point where a human could see the entire area really, really easily).

Also some areas give pedestrians the right away regardless of where they are. Granted there are plenty of exclusions to that too and this may fall into that but regardless of who is at fault this looks avoidable if a human was driving, IMO.

Regardless it's pretty insane that their software didn't pick up this person at all. That's terrifying, IMO. That shows me it's not ready for a driver to be using it and not paying attention like this driver (they kept playing on their phone, looking down and not paying attention). People, deer, lots of crazy things are going to jump out into the road and you need to be able to handle that scenario. This person didn't even jump out, they were already in the road and were likely very visible.
Ask HN: How many repositories/projects your team handle?
Hello folks, I'm working in a startup with ~50 repositores, we usually touch around 15 in a year, we maintain softwares for: Issue Tracking, ERP, LIMS, 3 visualization softwares, including a CAD system and a few more...

In a bottom line: we are a team of 7 managing around 15 projects ranging from small to medium-to-big applications. I think we are obnoxiously overloaded, I would like to know how many projects your team manage and how big is your team? Also, feel free to share your feelings about your situation :D
I think GP was more abstractly: more things that humans don't need to do isn't inherently a bad thing, but yes it causes a lot of problems in the current system. If you don't take the status quo for granted, the solution is to change the system rather than break windows for the glassblowers.
I totally agree; I don't understand why they've had so much trouble applying existing law to this problem that we need new ones now.
It's well understood that the trend is toward stripping employee's of their rights in favor of large Corporations.

This, IMO, seems to have coincided with the Citizens United decision. Since that time Corporations have had many favorable outcomes from both parties.

I have tried to use Firefox but I keep ending up back on Chrome. It's because I am lazy and I have been sucked into the convience of Google's password manager.

> We don't yet know why the driver was looking down and to the right.

Looked like they were playing on a phone to me.
Uber is a well-funded corporation with a long history of disregard for the law which in order to beat competitors has chosen to conduct real world road tests of many instances of an "autonomous driving" system apparently inferior to heavily intoxicated humans at reacting to unexpected pedestrians in certain conditions.

The woman was a homeless person who is now dead.

The above may influence people's emphasis on whose actions warrant the most scrutiny.

> Do you ear often cases of counterfeit money? Almost never because the punishment is very high and it is considered as a very severe crime.

You have drawn the wrong conclusion.

There is less counterfeit crime because it's harder to pull off, not because the laws are tougher.

Counterfeiting money is far more complex of a crime, and only benefits one-side, the suppliers. No business, legitimate or otherwise wants to deal in fake currency.

On the other hand, children are highly vulnerable and easy to victimize. The suppliers and the buyers are both incentivized to perpetuate this crime.

The government chartered the corporation that is engaging in the censorship, and granted its owners limited liability.

Strip away the privileges, and I wouldn't feel it necessary to impose additional obligations.

In my personal opinion, corporations chartered by a government cannot engage in acts forbidden to that government. If you want to exercise your rights as a natural person, you must be prepared to accept full responsibility for the consequences of your actions. If you want to shield yourself from those consequences through a fictional entity, then follow the rassafrassin' rules.

The US government is forbidden from restricting free speech, and so its corporations should not be engaging in viewpoint-based discrimination on that portion of their private property that they have explicitly opened as a public forum. If you allow the public into your space, you have to respect their rights.
Yeah, homeless people have more time than anyone to do what they like.

Not necessarily.

For example, what if a teammate only "throws" a game when the game is already lost (but the game will likely last for another 10 minutes or so)

That wouldn't effect win rate very much, but it is still a bad player experience to be with a teammate who is intentionally trying to be bad.

It makes me unhappy to know that Reddit is choosing to make written rules rather than choosing changes and improvements in its code. Having opportunities to market and discuss products could be a great source of income if well done. real opinion, honest and who is not a paid advertising on a product and humanize the business relationship are very difficult questions to find on the internet.Especially about artisans products and local productions. Craft beers is a market that depends on suggestions and evaluations of people. Facebook has been trying to provide a marketplace opportunity that makes it easier for local and more human businesses. But is horrible. Reddit could offer something in this vacuum. But they preferred to walk away.
As others mentioned the hard part is modeling your problem, how to encode the "individuals", defining a good fitness function etc. I think he neural networks are more poplar now because are easy to use, you throw data at it and you get some results(though IMO I am scared that we are using things that we do not understand exactly how they work)

Edit2: This is wrong, see replies below.

An update, having now tried this on a toy Gitlab/Github instance.

It looks like this still relies on Gitlab's support for mirroring an external repo, which relies on polling. This is less than awesome, because it means we're back into the (many) minutes latency range from pushing changes to seeing them appear in the mirrored repo (and therefore CI). When I did this before, we had to set up a mirror on our own machines to get this latency down into the ~1 minute range, otherwise it was unusable.

What appears to have been added was syncing the build status from CI builds back to Github. That part seems to work as intended.

There does appear to be a Gitlab API for triggering a mirror update, but I don't see an easy way to get that hooked up to Github out of the box. The CI status feature would be much more aweseome with the addition of push-based mirroring.

Edit: And the problem with mirroring manually like we did before is that there isn't a clean way to mirror pull requests (it requires manipulating web APIs, not just pushing a Git repo). So if we went back to that route, we wouldn't really get the seamless experience we've been hoping for.
