The Real Issue with Facebook
Facebook provides information to advertisers about you on things that you have not shared with facebook.

Facebook does not sell your data. Facebook buys your data, this is their business model and its fine, they just need to be open about it.

When you log in to Facebook, they should tell you this:

"Welcome back John, while you were away we noticed that you visited these sites about buying a house: ____.com, ______.com and ____.net so we think it is likely you are trying to buy a new house. We also noticed you visited several sites about drug addiction, please let us know if we can use information to provide your better advertisements."

Facebook should provide you the ability to limit and correct the information they collect about you. They should show you what they have collected about you and what metrics they provide to advertisers to reach you.
More likely is that Netflix realized most people, including myself, aren't on Netflix to consume text content.

In fact, the text is more likely to spoil the show. "A space freighter has to take refuge on a desolate planet. Little does its crew know that their temporary shelter is infested with horrific parasites. But you do!"

I might as well be picking my next viewing from a selection of pictures and illustrations.

It's just television.
With GC/MS you can test for composition, but not for biological effects. And I'm not sure about the GC/MS being cheaper either.
That's also the practice, as history of the last couple of centuries abundantly shows.
1-5 star rating system works out when you have a lot of data; and don't work out at all when you have poor ones.

Now, that rating only makes sense given the clustered group of people with similar taste. It's also adds complexity of the clustering said group.

Furthermore, I think people generally are not always the best critic. I totally can picture people being precise in their rating getting the most of the the recommendation engine, and the sloppy getting poor recommendations.

In that case, I can't blame Netflix for wanting to trim down the complexity for making it easier for the audience and themselves.
The blocks are hash trees, and you don't need to store the whole tree. Purging depends on that, not altering the block history.
I'm not sure what you're saying. i was hospitalized last year during the election while thinking that the gov. was after me, reporting a coworker as a terrorist (def not a terrorist) etc. i could go on.

actually i will go on:

reported the nicest guy to HR (he's fine) was on the verge of suicide, then thought "people" were after me and just completely flipped shit. family member kindly allowed me to stay at their home and then took me to the hospital the following day where i checked myself in.
"moving to a country that provides greater freedom and opportunity at the cost of less of a social net and lower taxes will almost definitely self-select for the ambitious"

That's flawed logic.

1. There is no study that stated less social net and lower taxes will definitely self-select for the ambitious.
2. US does not have the lowest tax in the world.
Github really is a disaster waiting to happen. It is only a matter of time. With luck, people will have started to migrate away before anything major happens, but I doubt it.

These three had a big impact on me:

Geoff Hinton, The Next Generation of Neural Networks (2007):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyzOUbkUf3M

While the exact approach described there didn't end up being necessary (restricted Boltzmann machines), all the summaries of the competition results made me realize machine image and voice recognition was going to accelerate massively and rival humans in many areas in the very near term.

----

Cracking the neural code: Speaking the language of the brain with optics (2009): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SLdSbp6VjM

This one made me realize how gene manipulation would be a near term thing and how big of an impact it would have. They used mostly old techniques but all the in situ modifications of cells in mammals were something I hadn't been aware were possible to that degree. One of the guys from his lab, Feng Zhang, went on to be one of the major forces behind CRISPR.

Breakthrough in Nuclear Fusion? - Prof. Dennis Whyte (2016): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkpqA8yG9T4

New design for a tokamak fusion reactor, made much cheaper by new super conductors that use liquid nitrogen instead of helium/etc. and which have more structural strength by being bound into a metallic ribbon. This one made me really optimistic (it hasn't been borne out like the others yet, but they recently raised $50 million).

I still really like Netflix, but the increased force-feeding of their own content doesn't excite me about the future. I would switch to a competing service if it offered a wider selection of movies, but without any Netflix content. If I found a streaming service that had nearly every movie ever produced, I would pay a much larger subscription fee.

I hope not. Pipenv seems like a good idea but I can't stand the interface. It seems that whenever a Mac user tries to implement a CLI tool they can't help but print verbose output by default, in various colours and with emojis scattered throughout. Pip itself has just enough output, I don't need to see every single thing the program does in different colours, just shut up and do what you're told.

Hi,
I have a few questions I would like to ask off-thread. My email listed.
Jaron Lanier, How we need to remake the internet: https://www.ted.com/talks/jaron_lanier_how_we_need_to_remake...
A week ago I might have thought this would be good for our microservices, as they were already using short timeouts with a retry but abandoning the original request. This is better. However it has limitations and isn't the solution. It suffers from request amplification if the called service also depends on other services and applies the same retry policy. It it still request latency bound. The main takeaway I've learned for bounding microservices is that the inflow of dependent data should be asynchronous and request latency dependent only on the service's data.
It seems like we are in an “in-between” state where we are using humans to assuage the fears of people that aren’t sure if neural networks can drive better than humans. The goal is to eventually focus on something else. If it’s just about making driving safer I would think it’s more of an incremental innovation step versus the breakthrough concept of being able to do something else while being commuted completely by a neural-network driven vehicle. The bridge to get to this breakthrough hopefully isn’t hacked apart by naysayers. Every death should be met with empathy and a desire to strengthen this bridge and quicken the speed of crossing it.
Thanks for posting this. I think some people can become so specialized that they fit into specific roles and that some products rely on a group of professionals from different disciplines working together.
Two great points.

Which both situations are made worse by locking in the consumer and preventing them from backing out of the transaction.
While I like this idea a lot, I doubt you'd get them to agree to it. They probably think (rightly or wrongly) they'd lose too many people if the extent of their data collection was well known.
It was never my intention to hate or shut out any possible metaphorical ideas.

This desperately needs a regression analysis. They've determined that the presence of the Sicilian Mafia is strongly correlated with the presence of the Peasant Fasci, and also strongly correlated with a decline in literacy and increase in infant mortality.

They immediately jump to "the Mafia causes a decline in literacy" without even considering that the Peasant Fasci might have been responsible for said decline in literacy.

How the hell did this get published?
I have read that the SAT is basically an IQ test in disguise. If that's true, there's no need for it to correspond to real-world skills. That's not what it's meant to test, and the only reason it deals with vocabulary and mathematics is to dodge the controversy surrounding IQ tests.

This is by no means the only perspective on the SAT, but it's a reasonable one.

This is absolutely wrong, as many passengers do not make it to a flight, without being bumped. This rate is very high and makes overbooking valuable. The difference in cost includes both the relatively low bumping rate and the relatively high missed/cancelled flight rate. Many routes make very little revenue per flight (not per passenger) after overhead - at times in the hundreds of dollars, if I recall correctly - and would be completely unviable without overbooking.
Sourceforge now has almost no connection with sourceforge then.
Personally, I heavily prefer the SAT over the ACT—it's a very no-nonsense, clean way to see the capabilities of a person, and isn't relying too heavily on questions related to a specific subset of a topic.

It's definitely a better indicator of performance and capability than a GPA, in my opinion.
not really their fault either. i’m not sure if they could have done anything different, considering they don’t own all the movies they used to provide
It's someone standing in front of a green screen. You don't need ML to find a person's silhouette.
Do you recall when you took the test? I’d like to find the test because I work with ACT tests daily and have never seen a passage where the laws of physics were intentionally violated for sake of “comprehension.”

Additionally the ACT reading passages are very focused, not vague. They may be uninteresting but much of a student’s college experience is reading uninteresting things. The ACT is designed to predict how students will perform in college, not how “smart” they are or how “good of a reader” they are.
We should be so lucky that our data would be used to encourage healthy living as opposed to to status quo.
I didn't downvote, but the reason is likely because your comment is off-topic. The parents are talking about experiences un-learning one-sided equality that they picked up programming before learning algebra; your comment is about programming a T-83 to help with schoolwork.
As far as I can tell overbooking is an almost exclusively US phenomenon. In Europe I don't know of anyone who has been 'bumped' off a flight because it was overbooked. Low cost airlines like Ryanair manage to fill flights without overbooking. There is a lot to dislike about Mr O'Leary's company but I don't think anyone worries that their ticket is not going to be honoured.

It seems to me that commenters in this thread keep taking the durability of materials under average conditions as a measure of what traces would be left after millions of years. By the same standards, we shouldn't have a single bone or trace that anything that lived more than a few hundred years ago. However, when there is a very large amounts of specimens, some happen to be preserved in exceptional conditions or undergo transformations which let them survive or leave traces, direct or indirect, for tens or even hundreds of millions of years.
>> it feels like the public appetite for institutions like that has never been lower

Increased access to information and decentralized media allows people to see the potential (and often real) corrupt nature of centralized power, so this isn't that surprising. When you coalesce power into a centralized entity, you remove accountability and provide perverse incentives to those who wield power.

It's a natural consequence of faster and more free trade of information, goods, migration of peoples, etc.
I'd say that's fairly accurate—in general, it doesn't really test for skills you would learn above 8th Grade, and mainly just tries to see what you're capable of.

I am extremely familiar with both tests. What version of the SAT are you referring? The current version (re-designed a few years ago) is nearly identical to the ACT with the exception of integrating graph-reading questions into the reading and writing sections rather than having their own section.
I love git, and know it better than almost all of developers I've met – but yet I see a lot of projects that would be better served by other VCS, including SVN.
i think a simpler explanation is that they believe binge-watching long shows leads to better retention (they’ve said this) and as a result changed their algorithm to prioritize items which people keep watching, not items which people will rate highly.

Netflix basically wants to be a black box where people enter and are entertained for two hours a day forever. mind-expanding or emotionally affecting movies don’t really do that.
A fascinating update to the economics of the firm examines how peer production, mainly open source software development changes the fundamentals of this discussion. https://www.yalelawjournal.org/article/coases-penguin-or-lin...

The quick summary from the same Yale Law Review post:
“Peer production” is when many individuals use social signals to cooperate on large-scale projects without being paid or directed by managers, motivated by nonmonetary concerns.

The Internet has enabled the growth of many peer production projects. Open source software has been produced in this way.

Peer production is better than markets and firms when the product being produced is information, and when the capital needed for production, such as computers, is dispersed.

Peers are less likely to forget who the best person for a particular job is.

When many contributors access large amounts of information, potential gains are great.

Removing property and contract rights reduces transaction costs; individuals may simply use the resources they want and work as they will.

Peer production uses technological and social strategies to overcome problems usually solved by property and contract, like shirking:

Projects are broken into small parts.

Nonmonetary rewards like enjoyment let projects proceed that would otherwise cost too much.

Stronger intellectual property rights will not increase growth, if peer production is important to tapping human capital efficiently
> I can’t imagine there are that many places where you’d need to use a u8 as an index

I have some firmware on a small machine, there aren't any arrays with more than two dozen elements. On the eight bit machine the the code originally ran on using a 16 or 32 bit int caused a lot of code bloat. You might not think that's a problem but consider the price difference between a processor with 64k of flash and 128k might be a dollar. Times 100,000 units a year.

The above is why I'm not going to use rust anytime soon, because a rust binary size is about 4 times larger than C. That would add about $2-3 to the cost of the product. Or $200-300k a year for no real benefit at all.
Breeze – simple time management for freelancers
The last person you should ask about education is a teacher. It would be like asking the waiter about farming or the supply chain or vetinary medicine.
There are so many open questions out there. For instance, how do we know that the bacteria don't form an intelligent species, too? What if there's something else out there, that just is not intelligence but just like intelligence enables a life form to advance as far as we have and beyond?

Even our understanding of the beginning of the universe is just a model, an idea. It's not like we have proof.

From time to time it's quite important to remember how vast the knowledge is that we don't possess in contrast to the one we do.
I'd also say an abstraction could be carrying its weight even if it only reduces the amount you have to think about the implementation details when using it.
I enjoy building (simple) tools to make my day-to-day easier. A majority of my time and effort is spent doing freelance work and I found that I was spending too much time tracking my time, so I built Breeze. It's simple by design and makes keeping your time a breeze. Check out the free demo and let me know what you think!
Saddam gased the Kurds with even less “strategic” or “tactical” reasons to do so if you simply apply game theory.

Considering Russia went on a conspiracy theory blitz from the get go which started about 3 weeks prior to the recent attack it follows the same pattern as 2 previous attack with high confidence of attribution to Syrian government or what is left of it since Russia and Iran are running the show now.

It’s quire scary just how efficient their information warfare has become.
How so? What features do you get by using SVN over git?
The Peasant Fasci had nothing to do with the Italian fascist government and had been suppressed decades before it came to power. The Peasant Fasci were left-wing and socialist and their support base later supplied fighters to the anti-fascist, communist partisans. The Italian Fascist Party was, needless to say, violently anti-socialist.
