Those are the kind I use. They try to be flat but there's really nothing you can do to stop concert level bass from getting through, so they end up being a bit boomy. I've found that I can move them in or out of the ear to adjust the dampening. If they are in too far I tend to not like the way it sounds. I like it at the most minimal dampening I can get. It sounds good and it still keeps me from getting concert-ear.

Also I've noticed that I can hear the music much better with them in (when it's too loud I have a hard time distinguishing pitches—singers often sound like the Chipmunks) and some groups don't fare well when you turn down the volume a bit (they use volume to mask lack of ability).
They're talking about move semantics, not actual memory moving around.

In c++ you get copy semantics by default, requiring std::mov to get move semantics. In rust it is the opposite.

I wanted to store a couple gigs of data online.

A friend told me that OVH had a service for that.

I checked their service and found it; wow it was literally 10x as expensive as competitors.

Turns out there are 2 services to store data online by OVH, the one I am looking for was named differently and hard to find on their website.

After seeing that they both had extremely negative reviews, I did not look further.
iPhone security is great, but they had a really embarrassing issue in the backups around iOS 10 - where they were sha hashing the backup password and storing the result in the backup. (This was in addition to the password handling which was a properly designed PBKDF2, etc). I don’t think their security skills are very evenly distributed. Perhaps they are growing the dev team too quickly and the experienced devs are spread too thin.
I already ran shred on the log to erase all traces, so I can't be more specific, but I know I did a fresh install (not an upgrade) of the whatever the latest High Sierra was at the time in mid-November...
Could also be bad hiring. Mistakes do happen, sure, but the only instances in which I personally noticed a dev accidentally slipping personal data into a log file, they tended to have other issues in their work like an unusually high bug count.
No, it's clearly not. By an overwhelming margin, most people driving "the wrong car" are not criminals; "wrong car" is not a real predictor for criminality.
They can be far more specific: just tell us how Model S drivers without (or not using) Autopilot do compared to those with and using it. This would control almost every variable except Autopilot. I find the fact that they don't release this number as extremely damning.
I believe it. I'm an old white guy, the cops never pay any attention to me, but my black friends have long talked of driving while black, which, they explained to me, is the frequent stops they get from cops. Yes, it's anecdotal, but given everything else I hear about the cops, and the fact that I know these friends well and trust them, I believe them. One more thing: these friends live in the SF bay area (one is a retired HP VP) and drive new-ish German cars.
> C++ probably moves things around more than rust

I don't think so, actually. As far as I'm aware moves are only done when explicitly asked for, because any implicit move would have the consequence of breaking references and being unsafe in general if you're not careful.
What the Quartz article says the results were:

> "The papers found that, in male rats, this exposure increased malignant tumors called schwannomas in the connective tissues that surround nerves in the heart, raised the risk of heart conditions, and led to evidence of DNA damage. Baby rats born to mothers during the trial had lower birth weights. The scientists also found a statistically significant increase in lymphoma (cancer of the lymph nodes) among female mice and heightened rates of liver cancer in the male mice."

What the paper says the results were (https://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/ntp/about_ntp/trpanel/2018/march/t...):

> "In the 2-year studies, there was significantly lower survival in the shared male sham control group compared to almost all exposed groups, for both modulations. Survival began to decline at a faster rate than in exposed groups after week 75. In the sham control group, 28% of animals survived to study termination, compared to 48% to 68% for exposed groups across both modulations. Lower survival in sham control male rats was largely attributed to higher severity of chronic progressive nephropathy and there was a spectrum of lesions in other organs considered secondary to chronic progressive nephropathy that occurred at higher incidences in male sham controls. Survival in the shared female sham control group was significantly lower than the 6 W/kg CDMA-exposed group; however, it was similar to all other exposure groups, across modulations. At study termination, there was no effect on body weight in male or female rats, and there were no exposure-related clinical observations."

So the Quartz article says cell phone radiation kills rats, and the paper says that rats are less likely to die if they're exposed to cell phone radiation. Then the paper p-hacks its way through a bunch of specific conditions and subtypes of cancer, but really, that won't fool anyone who actually reads the paper and actually understands what they're reading. But it did fool the Quartz author, apparently.

Something seems off about these graphs. Montana's data looks particularly suspicious. The author claims to have gotten the data from Stanford's open policing dataset which can be found here:

https://openpolicing.stanford.edu/data/

Opening the Montana dataset in Pandas you can see:

df.driver_race.value_counts()

White 752032
Other 38782
Hispanic 16055
Black 8805
Asian 6699
Native American 2
58 1
60 1
Asian / Pacific Islander 1
25 1

So we can already see that there were 85x more whites being pulled over than blacks, which is the opposite of what their chart was suggesting. That is not very surprising since according to the census, whites made up 87.8% of the Montana population while blacks made up 0.4%. When accounting for population difference, you get numbers similar to what they claimed, though they fail to mention this in the presentation. "Traffic stops for white and black Americans per 100 driving-age people, 2015 (where data is available)"

How much of this article can be trusted? It seems to be filled with a lot of appeals to emotion, and misleading charts.
Sure. Selective enforcement is a huge problem. But not giving a reason at all is nuts.
I suspect there is some nuance here that needs to be considered and was probably brought up in the numerous court cases regarding dumpster diving.

While it's okay to be nervous about cops stealing your DNA from your trash, it's fine for someone to pick up my unwanted microwave that I put on the curb. The hard part is where to draw the line in between these cases, and it seems like right now the courts have decided it's just easier not to draw a line at all.

The classic "think about the children" case: What if we find kiddy porn in someone's trash? Should we convict that person or should they be allowed to go free because the courts decided that personal pictures are protected?

Another mitigating factor is that the cops are going through someone's trash because they suspect the person of a crime. The cops aren't going through people's trash on whims. There is a possibility that corrupt cops are going through someone's trash to ruin their life, but this is pretty uncommon. And if they find something, then the outcome is a dirty person taken down by dirty cops.

For citizens and generic criminals going through someone's trash, how much is the original owner's fault if their identity gets stolen because they didn't shred their paper info? Sure, it's still illegal to steal my identity even if I don't shred, but now I bear some of the responsibility myself. This is similar to if my house gets robbed because I left my front door open. The criminals are still at fault but now I bear some responsibility by leaving my door open.

> So, do we just prohibit recursion?

This is what MISRA C does

> Do we need to have a privileged compiler (making signed executables) that refuses to generate code unless the stack usage can be proven at compile time?

This is roughly what the Linux kernel does (I believe it's more a set of checks that aren't formally proven)

So yes, if you want to have run a process reliably, you shouldn't be doing any potentially unbounded recursion.

> We've just moved it to the developer making promises that he probably can't verify to be safe.

I don't agree, programs get a pretty large amount of stack space by default, and as long as you aren't doing any crazy amount of alloca or recursion (which is in fact the case for most programs), you'll be fine. They may not be formally verified to be safe, but practically the are. OTOH, the OOM killer can take you down regardless of what you're doing, based on what other processes are doing, so developers can have no assurance whatsoever that their programs won't suddenly die. Anecdotally, I've only even seen stack overflows due to infinite recursion bugs that are caught during development, but I see OOM-related problems not at all infrequently.

> When the draft results of the papers were published earlier this year, all results were labeled “equivocal,” meaning the study authors felt the data weren’t clear enough to determine if the radiation caused the health effects or not. But the panel of peer reviewers (among them brain and heart pathologists, toxicologists, biostaticians, and engineers) re-evaluated the data and upgraded several of the conclusions to “some evidence” and “clear evidence.”

The study was conducted on Male and Female Mice and Rats and initially found no conclusive evidence at all.

On reevaluation peer reviewers found that there was evidence for Male Rats only (as I read it) which is a pretty weak result.

For an extra $20/month, my building gives Sunset Scavenger a key to the alleyway where our trash and recycling bins are, and they come in and get them instead of us having to move them out to the street. It also reduces the risk of someone stealing trash, and keeps people from rummaging around in the recycling for bottles and cans (which is much more common). I'd be shocked if Zuck didn't do the same.

You can't discount first mover advantage. From your own example, Swype had immense mind and market share for many years, even after Google, Microsoft and others released their own alternatives. They were eventually bought out for over $100 million.
A move in C++ is a special construct where a new object is allocated in a new memory location and then constructed from the existing object in a way that must guarantee that the existing object is invalidated in some way. This must be handled explicitly in the implementation. For example, for std::vector this means that the move-constructed container steals the internal pointer to the data buffer from the old vector and resets the old vector to empty. This avoids a big and usually superfluous copy operation.
First part of your sentence, about most people, is obviously correct, but has no relation to the second part of your sentence about it not being a predictor for criminality.

Perhaps because I don't have hundreds of GPUs laying around? I'm a DL researcher fortunate enough to have a 4 Titan X workstation for my experiments. Most of my peers at other labs only have shared access to such workstations, and with the current trends in GPU pricing, that's not likely to change in the nearest future.

More importantly, the lack of compute power is rarely a bottleneck in my research. Reading papers, brainstorming new ideas, and writing/debugging code are the most time consuming parts, it's not like I'm sitting idle while waiting for my models to train.

dustcluster looks very interesting. I will take a deeper look into it.

I remember seen JSON spec files a while ago in boto. I couldn't find them when I tried recently. I was thinking about using the spec in my tool. Meanwhile I'm experimenting so it's not very important but I should definitely find the spec later.

Low socioeconomic status is a predictor for criminality, as well as a predictor for car type owned. Thus car type is correlated with criminality.
These days, it is pretty fluffy. But in the early-mid 1990s Wired really had it going on about the current and future status of technology. William Gibson used to write essays for it.
One other interesting point that could come up but wasn't in the calculations is the reflection of the sound of the toilet tank lid hitting the tank. Most toilets are put into little nooks with just a few open inches between the toilet and the wall it backs up to, and maybe a foot on either side of the toilet, making a little alcove. Sound will reflect off the walls rather than dissipating in all directions, which is effectively bringing you closer to the source of the sound, or making it louder.
In which capacity are you asking for this?

> In c++ you get copy semantics by default, requiring std::mov to get move semantics.

And even then:

1. std::move only creates an rvalue reference, it doesn't necessarily move anything (not only does that depend on the presence of a move ctor & the receiver's arguments, there's still no requirement that anything actually moves)

2. a move in the C++ sense "empties" the object, the object is still there and accessible in "some valid but otherwise indeterminate state", objects can even fully specify the exact state they're in when moved-from (unique_ptr does)
"Black motorists are pulled over by police at rates exceeding those for whites"

Do you think this isn't true? I don't know one way or another, but I think if National Geographic is going to make such a claim they'd have made some effort to verify it.

How is someone who is not able (or maybe not bothered) to assess this claim themselves from raw data, supposed to know what to believe?

Is there a good way to compare these claims?

I agree, but unfortunately that minor inconvenience won't stop newspaper reporters from writing evidence free articles implying the contrary.
If you tell people constantly that they are being oppressed, they will start seeing it everywhere. When a white person is treated badly by cops, which happens all the time, they will just assume the cops were general assholes. When a minority gets treated bad by cops they assume it's racism. Do you know anyone that DOESN'T have some kind of bad story about cops?

And then comments that show statistics critical of the oppression narrative will get downvoted. And told "we don't need evidence to support our beliefs."

I know my father started to get pulled over a lot after the push against drunk driving. Because he worked late hours. And the cops were on edge looking for drunks driving home from bars. And cop to car ratio was much higher at that time.

For every crime category we have data on, blacks are about as likely as whites to be arrested. In some cases like robbery, much less likely. https://2kpcwh2r7phz1nq4jj237m22-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-... The traffic stop data is anomalous if true. And may very well be explainable by other factors.
> in a way that must guarantee that the existing object is invalidated in some way

That statement is confusing as the spec very specifically notes that the moved-from object remains valid, so saying that it's invalidated is odd.
Investigating further, it looks like that barrier had been down for over 7+ days (they say due to weather) [1].

Looking at the image and estimating the traffic flowing, it's simply amazing that CalTrans is allowed to take a week to fix such things. How long does it take to put up some sand barrels? This situation was made more dangerous because while many such barriers are used in freeway exits, the left lane speeds can be much higher. 7 days + weather is a long time to fix (some states require 3 days).

I get the feeling that Tesla/Waymo and other SDC manufacturers will be more proactive in reporting unsafe conditions as a priority to fix. Such a partnership could improve safety for everyone.
