It also is worth pointing out that it's not just because of the "rarity" of goalies teammates do this - it's also a substantial cost burden for a goalie to play due to the expense of equipment. This helps distribute that burden a bit more fairly since as you stated early - the team doesn't exist unless you have a goalie.

A family member recently outfitted a junior high goalie and the total came to about $1,000.

I always imagined the goalie as the main tank of a raiding guild. They got special privileges just due to their importance and "upkeep" costs.
Why yes, I'd noticed high throughput satellites. And being closer means you can use less electricity on the satellite for the same signal-to-noise ratio, so yes, it is a benefit that comes from physics.
The degree to which it influenced the election is questionable. Despite all the headlines, I haven't yet seen any convincing analysis of the impact of facebook on the election (I'm not sure how one would even go about doing so). So far it seems like it's just a convenient vehicle for people that dislike the outcome of the election to express indignation.
Fair enough, I added it in the flow of saying I don't work for Tesla. Removed it.
The FIFO method doesn't track the first 3 BTC, it depends on what the first transfer into the wallet was.

If the first transfer in was 3 tainted BTC, it taints the first 3 out. If the first transfer in was 2 clean BTC and the second transfer in was 3 tainted BTC, it taints the 3rd, 4th and 5th BTC transferred out.

They don't seem to really have a way of measuring where the illicit value actually goes, so the comparison is just hand waving (in terms of forensics that's what tainting is for anyway, enumerating the accounts to consider; enumerating less accounts isn't necessarily an advantage).
As opposed to further up the stack where you rely on just a small handful of backbones that fail in spectacular ways far more than Cloudflare does. L3 and AT&T and all the networks that just route traffic through China for no reason at all.

As opposed to hosting everything on AWS, so half the Internet goes down when they have a no-so-uncommon outage.

I don’t think Cloudflare is that much of a bottleneck in comparison. Not to mention 3 points of failure is the definition of “not a single point of failure”.
This would be the easy way out of admitting they did something wrong.
I hear that mentioned a lot. But there are some important considerations. Taking previously unforrested land and converting it to forests will sequester carbon for as long as that condition holds. Planting trees and either letting them grow into old growth forests or using them for lumber can sequester carbon for centuries. Don't underestimate the value of buying time to transition to clean energy and develop more advanced technology.
Perhaps this is a bit off-topic, but I correctly guessed from the domain name and later, the contents of the page, that [1] the author is Russian, and [2] the file manager resembles the layout of FAR, another file manager of Russian origin and seemingly very popular among them.

In short, what is it with Russians and this type of file manager? It's a very curious association.
Crucially, the new product is unlikely to be available through a web interface (at least, without an account), so Google no longer has to deal with their link shortener being used for spam and fraud.

Whoa whoa whoa, "auto-pilot" is NOT self-driving. Tesla goes to great pains to make auto-pilot sound like self-driving while still stringently claiming that it requires constant supervision, like an airplane auto-pilot.
That person is likely Elon Musk who is well-known for his obstinate and even idiotic defense of Tesla against legitimate and thoughtful criticism. He has the defensiveness of Donald Trump, while even Zuckerberg admitted fault.
He took the car to the shop and Tesla said "Works for me, can't repro".

> Let the autopilot park your car, if it makes a mistake the only bad thing that can happen is just a few scratches

Or it can drive over a toddler or pin someone against a wall until they die.
If facilities for this process can use "waste" electricity (e.g. more solar than is being consumed on the grid and/or off-peak surplus electricity from other sources), then it makes economic sense.
This is the standard way of analysing this kind of data, and I'd be very surprised if the Obama campaign didn't use the same or very similar methods with the facebook data they obtained. The only difference is that Cambridge Analytica managed to obtain much more data over a wider demographic.

One of the women coming forward in the article talks about this and points to Roman Polanski as an example.

The trouble with separating the artist and the art means that people can ignore or enable the artist's bad behavior in order to get more art. I really think the Harvey Weinstein allegations gained a critical mass partially because professionally he hadn't been doing as well over the past few years.

It's hard to draw the line at enjoy, but don't romanticize. I think it's a bit easier to appreciate previous works or a dead artist. But, if you're going to dwell on the negative side of everything it'll be hard to appreciate anything.
Akamai has 7,500 employees, Cloudflare has 500.
That is literally all every company has ever done throughout history (jump on the next bandwagon).
A very important aspect of this project is the zlibWrapper. It provides a interface for transparently reading from zstd-compressed, zlib-compressed, or uncompressed files with one API. It's quite fast, provides an excellent balance between speed and compression ratio, and is generally my preferred way to work with compressed data.

Their emphasis on branchless coding is even more valuable now than it was when zstd was released, since we are living in a post-spectre/meltdown world.

I dislike Facebook as a company, but I cannot find fault with their engineering.

[Edit/Off-topic: I want someone to make an LZ77/DEFLATE/Led Zeppelin pun-based product sometime. Please. That joke has been begging to be made since at least 1990.]
Many tree species live for thousands of years, most for hundreds. Growing them will sequester a lot of carbon. Plus the soils in mature forest will sequester more. The amount of carbon you could sequester in a mature redwood, or fir forest is huge. In climates where these tree wont grow, oaks often will and can capture a lot of carbon and live for millennia. I would be interested on where you got the idea that trees are not a good way to sequester carbon (ref to a paper?).
I know what they trained on because it's been reported on. They got around 50 million people's FB profiles, and a smaller subset's (300k, I think) personality test results.

I use ML models every day in my work, and understand how they function. It is true that individuals information is probabilistically encoded into the parameters of the model. However, if the model is any good, the people they trained on's information is encoded only a bit more than that of the entire population.

There is sort of a privacy issue in the following sense: The models they've built have learned relationships between preferences and personalities that they wouldn't otherwise have been able to learn. But these relationships are abstract. They are not tethered to any particular, identifiable individual.

A reasonable argument can be made that those learned relationships are, in a sense, stolen property. And I think arguments along those lines are interesting things that we'll have to explore as this sort of thing becomes more common. But the idea that this model invades individuals privacy just isn't really true.

How can you burn fossil fuels to produce electricity, to use to turn the combustion byproducts back into fuel at any reasonable level of efficiency? Some people here are saying the electricity doesn't matter, because it is from renewable sources - but then you could just shut down that dirty coal plant and use the renewable energy directly. Something doesn't add up here.
This would combine well with an in-painting algorithm-- or the video equivalents: https://research.adobe.com/project/content-aware-fill/

Except that isn't necessarily true. Wasn't one of the first major extinction events caused by over-oxygenation of the environment?
This is part of their learning process. Like with the Internet. Eventually they will figure it out.
That's only accurate in the sense that because an LSTM's hidden layer is much smaller in dimension than the data on which it is trained, there is less information in it.

However, it concisely represents a manifold in a much larger dimensional space and effectively captures most of the information in it.

It may be (and is) lossy, but don't underestimate the expressive power of a deep neural network.
Thanks, that's helpful!
C++ has advanced considerably

Ok, read it. That sucks. I understand it's important to have a public shaming, not just to punish the perpetrator, but to make sure nobody else thinks it's a good idea to do what he did. It's just a big bummer all around.

Hopefully this doesn't happen to any other kids, and hopefully the kids growing up now won't need to revisit their own cartoon memories like this.

The linked source says nothing about a "blackout zone" over China. More likely SpaceX won't sell ground receivers in mainland China and/or the PRC will simply ban Starlink receivers.
More like something Aperture Science would build.

Ironically, the Q stands for Quality. If the reports on calorie restricted diets are to be believed, that’s not an appropriate descriptor anymore.
The problem with this method, is it gives bad actors complete control over how and where the "bad" coins go just by doing some structured transactions.

Personally, I'm happy to pay for high quality software as I understand someone needs to be paid in order to maintain it, but I like having access to the source in order to reduce risk and maintain more control over my environment.

I think it's possible to release the source and still sell the app, Textual [0] seems like a good example of that. The make my favorite IRC client. Although I'm not sure if the author is that well off or not.

Maybe I'm just an outlier.

They scam people into buying Tesla thinking their version is close to self-driving right here https://www.tesla.com/autopilot . Reality is that since Oct'16 is that it's nothing more than a glorified adaptive cruise control found on many common cars.

Update:
Since Oct'16 self-driving software is an add-on option and Musk has been tweeting[1] since Jan'17 that it's just months away and that its autopilot is somehow safer than adaptive cruise control. This Oct'16 video even starts with the claim that the driver is only there for legal reasons.

There is a lawsuit since Apr'17 regarding above - Google dean sheikh et al v. tesla, inc

They also provide numbers without any context. Is a crash every 85,000 times in that intersection means the Autopilot is safe or is it a death trap?

There are over 200,000 cars a day driving at that stretch of highway, if a car crashes there once a week, then the Tesla Autopilot is an order of magnitude more dangerous than a human driver.
Can you provide examples of what types of businesses for this profile?
I'm a night owl too. I dealt with it. It wasn't easy - you have to be disciplined with sleeping schedules. I have to work out every morning to push my body awake. I have to eat right. I have to get regulation lights and blockout curtains and earplugs and meditate before sleep. Good things have never been easy.
Seems a bit late?
The CO2 is already there, now. Might as well use it.
Hacking these will be the new frontier in industrial espionage. Imagine the possibilities: listen to employee conversations, video access to sensitive areas including computer screens, property damage, personal injury...
The advantage of fossil fuels in this case is energy storage density, and potentially longer engine life than that afforded by modern batteries.
The renewable power source for the electricity isn't close enough to where it is needed (hydro-electric), or not stable enough (wind, solar). And the fuel produced can be used for applications other than power generation. And used as a storage medium to even out the bumps in solar/wind.

For that last category, this process needs to be more effective than battery storage.
I have reported using that and also emailed their feedback list but of course they don't follow up that anything was ever updated to fix it. For e.g. It's still unsafe on car pool lanes with bikers and lane-splitting which is legal in CA.

> At an employer that trusts you not to leak stuff, or somewhere that doesn't trust you? If it's the latter, you might as well be a contractor.

I'm a contractor, in the same team of FTE devs for a year, it's going really well, but I was a little hurt when I realised they were reading CVs to fill a vacancy in the team without putting me in the loop.

Edit: I understand why they are doing it, I mean I'm from a big consulting company (Alten), but still it stung a little, especially since I'm on pretty good term with the rest of the team.

You also did not answer the question.

How do you verify that the physical objects the digital certificate is attached to, is actually attached to the things it is meant to certify, and not replacement counterfeit?
Does that mean the scientist that tests hypothesis that never works out, and never bothers to publish, isn't a scientist?

What about the person that actually does advance knowledge, for their self, but doesn't share it? Are you not a scientist if you don't let everyone know what you found? You would conceivably still be performing science.

Maybe the easiest way to define it as someone that intends to discover something new (or at least add new data to existing data, for corroboration or refutation)? I don't consider myself to be a scientist, but if I wanted to explore some topic in depth, and and started reading about it, and maybe performing my own small scale experiments to confirm what I had read, I think I would be "doing science" and I would then be at a minimum am amateur scientist.
Not really. He sure isn't expected to be able to jump in with less than a second's notice to override what autopilot is doing. And he typically isn't there to make sure the autopilot isn't doing something stupid. He's there to watch for conditions that the autopilot can't handle...and those typically have plenty of warning time in a plane. And a pilot is a trained professional.

The expectation that the driver will jump in to prevent a car's autopilot from steering the car off the road into an obstruction is ridiculous. It's one thing to expect the driver to stop for on-the-actual-road dangers. This wasn't.

We don't really know what happened yet, but if it was the autopilot and it did steer into the barrier, this is at least 95% Tesla's fault.
Mathematically I'm not sure how such a thing could occur.

If you are implying that liberty is zero sum then I disagree.

I'm also uninterested in average liberty. Individual liberty is of utmost importance. Individual rights extend as far as infringing on the rights of others. This is important only in the context of preserving further individual liberty.
Is there reason to believe it's a "pendulum" and not just "variation"? A pendulum operating in many dimensions with many drivers and overlaying many periods is just a changing system. Calling it a pendulum is simply leaning on the fact that any mathematical function can be analyzed harmonically (Fourier analysis)
Yes it is easily fixed but this is a lack of attention to detail in a fundamental area. I would imagine that many, many people have seen that code at some point and yet have not bothered to fix up a glaringly obvious formatting error. That may say more about people than the quality of the code but it looks awful to an outsider (like me).

That chunk of code is one of the fundamental building blocks of C++. When presented as exhibit A it should look good. To an outsider that sort of thing looks bad, even if the presented thing is correct the silly error will be obsessed over - as here.

If something is important enough, and I think that C++ is one of those, then for $DEITYS sake fix the obvious stuff before having to be an apologist for it. A simple sed script run decades ago would have done that.

The reason I am labouring this point is that one day it wont be a discussion on HN debating this sort of bollocks but something involving lots of dosh. If S&M ever realised what source code really looked like - they'd have a fit. The world turns ...

I work for a vendor and I'm not allowed to tell my clients pricing because I'm not qualified to make deals. We don't even have a list price published internally, it's all at the salesman's discretion. That means some clients pay $150k, some pay $300k, some get it for free bundled with another purchase. Far too often I'm asked "budgetary pricing" but even that is a conversation with a solution architect and a virtual procurement cycle and an NDA and all that nonsense. Just so we can make sure someone is getting overcharged.

As long as they retain no data which could specifically identify the original person, yes. There is nothing wrong with building segmentation models as long as they aren't specific enough to identify a specific person.

My concern would be, how granular is too granular? What if we added "and live in zip code 12355 and is registered Green Party"? This now gets eerily specific, and might be sufficient to identify an individual.
First of all, very nice engineering in here. Well designed, appealing look, functional and has a good feature set.

However, how is this bot better than current CCTV with some checkpoints, badge readers and all the same features that we current have? A CCTV guarantees coverage by design, while this robot has does sweeps that allows intruders and all to evade detection.

Of course, we have security guards walking around buildings with checkpoints, but they are usually added to CCTV, because people walking around is more of a deterrent than a recording.

I saw in the end of the article the idea that it would be less expensive than a CCTV, but they do not give a price point and I really doubt. Even high-quality colored cameras with infrared sensitivity are cheap as hell nowadays. Most of the cost is in the back-end services (monitoring and recording), and unless the company is working on improving this (the text does not mention), I don't see how they would compete.

These is a sincere question - the company is obviously doing at least somewhat well and it's not my intention to be the next BrandonM. As a hardware engineer, I would even work for them, as the project seems really cool and there are lots of room for new ideas. But it looks very expensive and this is a crowded, cost-oriented market.

Edit: Also, is it common in the US (I'm Brazilian) for security personnel to walk inside offices while people are working, as depicted in this video? Here I only see this during off-hours.
I hate it when products are marketed as "built with aerospace grade aluminum". What does that even mean? It's predictably heat treatable to remove fatigue? It's been x-ay to confirm the material is forged correctly? It's just standard aluminum for crying out loud.
It's not that I want pedophiles to act normal and do a better job of hiding their abuses; rather, I'd just be happier if a) when somebody straight up says something that's gross like that, it gets called out and investigated and b) people don't make gross jokes like that to be edgy.
