>That's irrelevant when we are talking about a company being paid specifically to audit something. The entire world is able to send me food as well, but I don't get mad when it doesn't except for when I pay someone to do it.

Linux is developed almost exclusively by people who get paid for their work. Billions of dollars of real money has been poured by IBM, Intel, RH, etc. You are thoroughly confused my friend. Lets stick with the original point.

> An auditing company that failed to detect massive fraud
either willfully ignored it to sellout or was too incompetent to recognize it.

So explain how they audited the firm, explain which data they had access to and how they were incompetent

You can't define your way out of providing evidence. An auditor does X. They couldn't do X, therefore they were incompetent. That schoolyard logic doesn't work. People will ask you to backup your opinion. Its completely fine to say I don't know...
Cleared themselves. I'd be shocked if any company in the world would act as counterparty to a trade that hedged 'operational risk at Knight scale'.

One of the thing many of us in the industry at the time commented on, was how little was done to bail Knight out. Other than the 'oligarchy' argument that states that the old timers hated them (they did) the argument I subscribed to was, they weren't systematically important. Their entire function in the market could be taken over quickly by someone else with little disruption and largely they were the only ones that lost money on that day (not really but to an approximate).

Probably my filter bubble speaking but I know zero people who have ever deployed .net code on anything besides Windows or even working in a "mostly-Windows" shop.

There's a few Mono applications in Linux distros, but I think I can also count those on one hand.

So I'm not disagreeing it's possible, just very unlikely. (Even worse than PHP on Windows - sure, there used to be some high profile shops (5-10 years ago), but it always seemed like 10% or less. Also I'm not up to date on that regard.)
I never watched Louis CK, but I managed to dig up a reference for that quote [1]. Regarding Foxconn, @evanpw is right though in that the suicide rates were not significantly different from those in the rest of the country. There is no denying though that a lot of human and non-human suffering has gone – and goes for that matter – into the very things we treasure and admire; one can wonder if this will always be the case?

Like any for-profit entity, growth is one of its primary objectives. Stagnation is death.

It's certainly not helped that our government has taken aim directly at universities with sizable endowments[1]. The recent tax bill hits hard and has directly impacted MIT's ability to provide financial aid and pursue humanitarian research[2].

That last part is actually scariest: blame the victim, yay. Unless they can prove they had a functional, powered, up to date, compatible I'm-a-car responder, it's their own damn fault for being invisible to the SDV. How about "I'm a human, don't hit me"? Does that also sound like a good idea (RIP Elaine Herzberg)?

In other words, "all other road users should accommodate my needs just to make life a bit easier for me" is a terrible idea.
I'm not sure about which of the two is the best solution with regards to hemorrhoids but I use "wet toilet paper" in combination with normal (dry). Dry -> wet -> dry -> usually done. It works good enough for me, and I am pretty sure that a little bit of soap and water wouldn't make my hands clean if I had poo on them. Because when I wash my ass under the shower or in the morning, and it smells a bit like poo, that smell is hard to get rid of. The question is of course whether that's a problem from a hygiene PoV. From a smell PoV, I do not want to smell poo on my hands except from my newborn. That poo I don't mind.
(I work at stripe) Hey! Great feature request -- we plan to add it in the next couple weeks.
Depends on the comnpany. It can mean 15-20 days PTO at some, can mean 30-40 at others. What you must remember is, there will be those who take more PTO than others, and some who take less. Be the person that takes more than the average, make it clear during hiring your PTO expectations. And be sure to take a lengthy amount of time off in the first 6 months of employment. Tell them about this prior to signing on. I have done this twice. It has worked both times. If the company is uncomfortable with the notion of at least 28 PTO days, or you taking 15 PTO days 2 months after getting hired. Then its a red flag IMO (assuming they led you to believe they had splendid PTO)

Company I work at doesn't seem to notice/care if people take off 35-40 PTO days, not including the paid holidays they also provide. Not many do this, though. Most people take 15-25 PTO days. Only one other person I know takes 30+ like I do
This isn't quite as it sounds, although not exactly better.

From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowing_from_a_gun

> George Carter Stent described the process as follows:[1]

>> The prisoner is generally tied to a gun with the upper part of the small of his back resting against the muzzle. When the gun is fired, his head is seen to go straight up into the air some forty or fifty feet; the arms fly off right and left, high up in the air, and fall at, perhaps, a hundred yards distance; the legs drop to the ground beneath the muzzle of the gun; and the body is literally blown away altogether, not a vestige being seen.

> ...

> The destroying of the body and scattering the remains over a wide area had a particular religious function as a means of execution in the Indian subcontinent as it effectively prevented the necessary funeral rites of Muslims and Hindus.[9] Thus, for believers the punishment was extended beyond death.
I am busy with serious size Hadoop clusters as well, using a gazillion of technologies (including some Pharo on YARN mind you).

Nobody forces one to use Pharo and I actually find it indeed useful to have an FFI binding to libgit.

Pharo has had git support for years with git filetree. There is no urgent need for a built in tool. Iceberg is an integrated tool which is not even yet released for the version of Pharo it is intended for (7).

The project is useful to test drive UFFI significantly. As such it is a really good test bed for all kinds 7of data structures and callbacks etc. Coupled with the 64 bit VM + image it is even more so.

I am in the Pharo ecosystem as a long play. Expedient solutions are plentiful. But they all lack this QWAN in Pharo that makes it enjoyable to me.

I am interested in understanding how things do work. Pharo allows me to do it in a way that suits me.

Given the count of "me" above, it is clear that I follow my own path and I couldn't care less about popularity.

Truth be told, I find it somewhat useful to have a harder to approach community. It keeps the signal to npise ratio at an acceptable level.

I work at Accumulus which has a recurring billing platform that de-couples payment processors from recurring billing, i.e. invoicing, price plans, customer management and notifications, etc. The thing is that you don't want to be locked into a particular payment processor long term. Convenience sells, but be mindful of lock-in. As companies grow, they get better rates with different merchant account providers. As a company, you want maximum flexibility and negotiation ability to take your business to those who give you the best value, globally.

The way it should work is you put your stuff with code and all data on github. People interested in the field or working for journals read it, and rate it, journals collect links to paper repositories that are highly rated by scientists who have many highly rated papers in the field, and call that publication.

From the downloaded CSV of game states, all stages from the 3 games are valid training stages, and the custom stages used for testing are derived from all 3 games. Yikes.

I really hope those custom stages use the same art assets as the original games.

Video games are a great environment because they are quite complex and they are already coded and we understand them. For basic research it doesn't matter whether is it a game, test cases or 3d design. They use games because it is less work as they already work and are easy to integrante. Moreover each game is a different domain.

Interesting. Can you point me to a deeper discussion of this division of "versioning"?

I'm inclined to think something like Django data migrations or EntityFramework Code First Migrations tackles what I immediately thought of as "model versioning" and to some degree "data versioning" (though incomplete or probably impossible, for some things).
There is room for all kinds indeed.

Yes, I'd like a cookie. But not for libgit, but libstrophe. It was easier (and clean!) to bind with Pharo than with a lot of other technologies. The ability to pin objects is also very usable.
That's a group effort.

For picture they could read metadata for something as simple as Paris.

The tech is there to search for 'architecture' pics, Google Photos demonstrates it.

Of course there is the issue of who can see this data and that's not a small one. The recognition itself could run locally, but training data would still need to be mutualized.

And most apps would need to adapt and provide more metadata to your documents
Why can't you do the tagging with series of symlinks in one directory instead? It is essentially an index.

Yes the source of much of the enormous endowment is Department of Defense, Department of Energy, and private donations (see the new Koch building, for example). The major energy companies (e.g. Shell) are also big donors to the climate change research group which has no doubt tempered their publicly expressed views.

So overall much of the funding is from less than ideal sources from an ethical point of view. It does create some issues from time to time.

It's fair because you get better at gaming in general when you play games. For instance, your performance on Mario will be better after playing a lot of Sonic.

This is in contrast to current models which generally need to be trained up from scratch on each new game, even if the games are mechanically similar.
> The underlying implementation does not matter, we can always add a layer on top of the hierarchical file system.

I don't think so. hierarchical (trees) are too limited, and my intuition tell me that this lead to a impedance mismatch.

This is the reason the relational model take over, is far more powerfull.

To have something comparable, you need full graphs.

I think is not coincidence that tag-based filesystem have never take off, the tree-based file system can never be good for it, you need or a graph database or a relational database (or both?). And this probably is only viable on SSD/RAM-alike disks.

Finally tags are not enough. You need a way to do groups and alias and groups of groups, plus a way to full-text-search and seriously good metadata alongside the file...
I think there is a chapter dedicated to this in the newest draft of Rich Sutton's Reinforcement Learning book, available at his personal page. Haven't read that chapter though.
I didn't mean to propose that, but I see the problem that land is _already_ owned anonymously.

Also, we (in the U.S.) already do this in limited circumstances. For example, if I don't pay my property taxes for long enough, my property will by auctioned by the state. My tax standing is publically reported from the tax assesor's database so that my neighbors can hunt for bargains.

Perhaps legislation could add ownership reporting requirements for future purchases, or require better identity reporting for future property tax payments.

I’m not so sure about that multiple other vendors have or are in the process of implementing GDPR aware backups EMC/Dell allows you to flag records that will be purged from your backups and Microsoft is implementing pseudoanonymous backups for SQL.

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/sql-database-long-ter...

Sure if your backup is only weekly or monthly until the next full one it might not be an issue but many companies keep full backs that span years and even decades.

Just one more point of data the GDPR doesn’t actually define a difference between backup and an archive.
The article you’ve mentioned is essentially an untested legal argument that you may use in court if something happens or if the regulator audits you.

> I am astounded that such ignorance could come from one of the worlds pillars of higher education."

You bring up some interesting points. I'm not remotely familiar with MBS, so this is just pointing out why in general you shouldn't expect a reformer to look like a reformer.

Lincoln by his own words absolutely looked like a bastard who didn't give a damn about slavery, and nevertheless set in motion events to free slaves. And, of course, to get enough popular support, he couldn't be too outwardly anti-slavery. That's inherent in statecraft: to get things to change, you expect to have to play the people who don't want them to change.

And if a reformer is fooling the people whose agenda is to stymie reform, you should expect a less interested third-party to be fooled. So if MBS was a reformer, it shouldn't be surprised that educated people might study him quite carefully and not remotely catch on that he's enacting reforms.

Likewise, it's just as possible he is a total bastard, the MIT students are right, and you're getting suckered.

Again, I haven't read up on MBS at all, this is just a practical reality to keep in mind when you're evaluating a reform-oriented politician or official.
