The concern, as expressed by the FCC, is that the satellites are so small they are hard for U.S. Space Command to track them. Which means we could approve a rocket launch where one of these rapid little beasties knocks out a window or causes other catastrophic damage because we didn't know where it was precisely.

And you could argue it's too small to do damage (not true) or to low to be a real concern (maybe true), but the precedent is dangerous to allow.

Same old story. People rail against taxes, but want the things taxes pay for.

I'm sure you could find someone making the same rant 150 years ago.
I'm not a DBA, and it could very well be that it's because I'm coming from the LAMP world, but when I need something light and simple, MySQL or MariaDB fit the bill a lot more than Postgres.

In MySQL there are five steps: Install MySQL (creating root user at the same time), CREATE DATABASE X, USE DATABASE X, CREATE table Y, work.

If I need something more secure, I'll add a "Create User"/add permissions step in there.

For some reason, step 2-4 (create user and set up database/table) give me a headache in Postgres.

I like the category of "augmenting human skills". Google's Quick Draw is an example of augmented drawing, but you could use the same concept for writing, creating music, even programming. DeepFakes are basically the beginning of augmented video production. Imagine if you didn't need a green screen and body tracking suits to replace any person or scene in a movie with whatever you want. The whole field of generative deep learning is interesting and, to me, a really unexpected result of AI research.
Just for the heck of it I created a test account with their password manager with a few honeypot accounts on a VPS server.

Within 2 hours one of the "honeypot" SSH accounts I put in my password manager was accessed with the creds I provided in the password manager. Now I understand there is internet wide scanning but a succesfull login with a random 12 character username and password I had in my password safe is very unlikely to be a random bot account.

Tomorrow I might have a bit more time to throw a few more honeypot accounts in there and see if they attempt to login.

For the time being I would highly discourage anyone store their passwords there.

(using a random throwaway account for obvious reasons, I don't want any retaliation against my startup on my main account from these guys.)
The only upside to a walled garden is that this type of stuff isn't supposed to get through. If it does, the store only servers to give users a false sense of validity.
There’s an interesting relationship too:

The more advanced your programming tools are, the more complex your code can get before you hit your limit and need to refactor. It’s great up til that point, but once you cross the line you are in mind melting territory.

I code in a tiny subset of JavaScript, wrap at 40 character width, without allowing any build tools, and only single-file repos. This probably seems insane to most, but it has a powerful effect: Complexity becomes painful very fast, and so I am forced to refactor aggressively, which causes me to put more effort into good separation of concerns earlier in my implementation process.

It’s not for everyone, but if you enjoy the discovery of medium-sized single purpose modules, I would encourage you to try this, in your language of choice. Just pick a small set of native primitives and stick to them, and libraries written in (close to) the same subset.

As a side note: Some people might be thinking, “huh? Rich type systems and control structures HELP you write single purpose code with clear boundaries.” To which I agree. But I said “medium sized”. Rich toolsets will push you towards a combination of very small and very large API surfaces: small modules that do one arcane abstract thing that has no immmediate value, and then a huge surface which is the entire set of all of those small modules.

Modular subset programming makes both small and large modules awkward... small modules are awkward because you need to include them over and over. Large modules are awkward. It squeezes you from both sides into finding concerns that are good brain-sized nuggets.
Decriminalize implies that there is some intrinsic immorality to self-affective substances. The term should really be uncriminalize, as it was only recently these meddling authoritarian shitheads conjured up the problem in the first place.

>we have largely moved away from some of the nastier edges of "traditional" parenting, with good reason

Corporal punishment, you mean. Yes. However we've regressed in at least one way: many toddlers are now in daycare for 30+ hours per week.

>given that parenting resources exist, it's better to have and use scientifically tested ones than ones that replicate the prejudices of the loudest voices

Well, my original comment was more about how we use resources. But it seems doubtful whether we can scientifically test for how good such resources are, except in terms of narrow criteria like safety. We can't yet look into children's imaginations and measure how fired up they are; we can only try to find out what our children enjoy and help them to do more of it.

Consider the Harry Potter books. They may have done more for literacy than everything else combined since they arrived. Yet the first manuscript was rejected by many publishers, including some who no doubt had access to purportedly scientific advice.

Far better to look at what other families are doing, reading and playing with. And to read reviews online.
What's special about 2018 computing power? Neural networks have been declared dead several times in the past. Because they couldn't do anything interesting with the measly computing power available at the time. Currently the biggest RNNs have a few thousand neurons. Which is absolutely puny compared to even animal brains.

Of course this is defending a strawman. I don't know anyone that said it was just a computing power issue. In fact I think most people vastly underestimate the role of computing power. Even algorithmic improvements are enabled by computers letting researchers do experiments that would have been impossible before. And by doing lots of experiments they gain intuition about the problem, that they wouldn't develop in a vacuum.

I wonder what larger societal forces are at play here.

IIRC, Abe Lincoln's wife had a 12th grade education in an era when most American women had an elementary school education of about 4th grade or less. As education levels have gone up, vastly more people are capable of putting pen to paper, so to speak. Simply being capable of writing coherently is no longer an elite skill in its own right.

Additionally, there are vastly more people today and vastly more media outlets. Your article might be read by a larger number of people in absolute figures, but by a smaller percentage of the overall population. This means individual articles are substantially less influential these days. They may influence a subset of the population, but are much less likely to influence "the world."

Plus, there are a lot more resources available today, many of them for free and at the tip of your fingertips. There are major libraries that have put large collections online and made them available for free.

It's cool that he personally interviewed top notch writers to conclude that, no, seriously, the profession is underpaid. But how much value does it really add to the piece? And if he named his sources and really dished the dirt for $8 per word, is there any reason to believe that would have significant positive impact on the industry the way journalistic pieces have had in past eras?

Before becoming a freelance writer, I had been getting praise for my writing for years from published authors I was acquainted with via internet and even a publisher. I had some academic awards and the like in school indicating I wrote well. But most of that had little to do with the kind of writing that pays money, where words are worth something only if they accomplish certain goals. That requires more than a pretty turn of phrase.

I continue to struggle towards a better income for myself and I am currently looking into possibly doing things beyond just writing. I wish very much that my writing paid better.

But I can't help but wonder at the larger forces at work here. Are most words actually worth more than the going rates?

In closing, I will note that JK Rowling became a billionaire from her children's books. As I understand it, that changes the children's publishing industry.

I bet none of the well paid historical writers cited in the article were the equivalent of a billionaire in their time.

Real-estate runs on comps, and the sellers of other houses in the neighborhood love to use the overvalued ones to boost their asking price. In my experience, homeowners always nosily follow their neighborhood sales hoping for overvalued prices because they bring up the going rate in the neighborhood.

Plus, if Bill Gates buys a hours in your neighborhood, it's more or less guaranteed that the prices go up on name recognition alone.
You are correct:10,000 miles is ridiculously low, that was off the top of my head and wrong. I should have said the SW 1380 plane had 10,000 flights logged since its last engine overhaul before the accident[1] - the article doesn't say how long the intervals are (but they are >10,000 flights).

The reality is that PDF resumes are dead. There are too many applicants for you to stand out that way if you don't already have some kind of "in" like knowing someone at the company.

So what can you do? You can create targeted websites like suggested in the article, but that takes a long time and likely isn't worth the effort. I've gotten ignored many times doing this.

Here's what has worked best:

1.Skip the resume even if the company insists on it.

2. Find the hiring manager's email (or anyone involved in hiring)

3. Send a well put together cover letter email selling your skills with concrete links to projects you can show. GitHub, Codepen, Blog links work very well here.

Here's a blog post focusing on remote jobs that I put together that goes into more depth in case you're interested: https://remoteleads.io/blog/proposals-that-win-remote-freela...

Why does this work? You're reaching an real human and have a higher chance of getting looked at for your skills instead of getting your resume scanned by a resume-reading machine. This works well when you don't already have connections with the company.

Michael Jordan is a mathematician far more than an engineer. I've never heard of any deep learning papers or open source software coming from his lab. Like a lot of mathematicians though working in stats and ML, he's been forced to adapt. There is lots of resentment amongst mathematicians about the current AI revolution, to me this reeks of that. I could be wrong!
My point is that GP claimed no country would violate international law, when quite frankly that's not true. Hell, even India may have by launching Swarm's satellites without approval from Swarm's host country.

> A gun if fundamentally designed to kill. That's the only reason it exists.

That's the reason it was invented, that's not the only reason it still exists. According to stats cited above, 1 in 3 Americans have a gun. Why aren't two thirds of you dead if guns only exist to kill?

The truth is, people have fun shooting guns. Just like they have fun in archery contests, despite the fact that bows and arrows were also invented only to kill.
Yep. Similar to cars, electric planes are starting with short ranges. The huge savings is in maintenance.

Seconding this. Instead of hearing from bloggers or contributors, what is using this DB like in the trenches? What simple use case would fit this DB perfectly?

> Polymorphism: Modern Non-OOP languages can also be polymorphic, so that's no longer a differentiator.

Haskell had ad-hoc polymorphism way before Java was a twinkle in its creator's eye. Before Haskell, Miranda (the language Haskell was based off of) could have kicked Java's polymorphism to the curb. Neither Java nor OOP invented polymorphism. If anything, they butchered it by introducing subtyping.

> Do Haskell programmers not create mocks to test external components?

The equivalent in Haskell would be having some kind of 'effects' system. An effect system differs from a mock object in that it limits in its totality what kind of interactions can take place. Typically, each layered effect also has a set of laws. Pure interpreters can be written for these effects, but the impure (i.e., real-world) interpreters are not privileged in their consumption of this effect. The pure interpreter also provides a proper implementation, such that you should be able to replace your real program with all pure interpreters, supply all your input at once, and still have a correct program. In other words, a Haskell program is typically polymorphic over which effects it uses in a way that other languages simply aren't.

> Encapsulation: You definitely want encapsulation if your data is mutable.

Again, Haskell, Miranda, and Lisp had encapsulation long before OOP came about, and Lisp has mutable data.
Also, your external searches will have no impact on what you do within the Wizely network and vice versa. So if you look "I need to buy a car" and traverse the Q&A tree, you won't later see car ads all over your browser (for those not using adblock). One of the core ideas is to flip the ad model so it disproportionally benefits the user, not the advertisers.
FB earnings are up and their monthly active users are rising. That suggests that your single anecdotal experience of your friends not using fb is incorrect.

Also, OP was the first one to make the assertion that fb is losing users and thus the onus falls on him to prove vs. me trying to disprove it.

I know it is not the answer you want to hear but FB is doing well in terms of their user growth. Get over it.
Really sickening that this sort of stuff is going to inevitably be aggressivly marketed to unsuspecting people. Tunnelbear(same company) is shilled extremely hard by youtube tech content creators who should know better, to people who trust them.
And also Michael Jordan is definitely _not_ at the forefront of deep learning or deep learning research (he definitely is in stats, no question). His lab is not even in the top 20 labs in the country for deep learning research. Also IMO nearly all the people at the forefront of deep learning are in industry right now.
If you know linear algebra, machine learning is not much further to go. You can understand pretty much all the models by looking under the hood at the math.

At that point it’s just experience to learn the rules of thumb that guide practical implementations.
They have public data which clearly states that their monthly active users and earnings are trending positively.

That's nice dear. I'm assuming he has no concrete plans to do this?

Just like Obama alluded to decriminalizing Marijuana for 9 years* along with Universal Healthcare and/or single payer?

There's a recent track record of making big promises in the Democratic Party, prior to selling out to corporate interests.

Obama's great explanation was "It just wouldn't work in our system"

So, if I'm skeptical and cynical, as I remember Obama also complaining about (not to make this all about him, it's just where it led as I finished writing this) it's because I just don't believe him.

This post is close to getting me to throw my hands up in the air and give up. But it's not for the reason you'd hope, it's not because of some chin-stroking wisdom or feat of evidence. It's because I can't argue with not-even-wrong claims. Literally nothing in your post is both accurate and relevant. Tortious interference has nothing to do with anything we're talking about. FEHA has nothing to do with anything we're talking about. The fallacy of composition has never been so unfurled and I am left almost wordless by it.

I asked for examples. To your credit, you did provide examples of something. I am unsure what, but it is something. But if you are interested in relevant content, I would suggest instead beginning with SCOTUS First Amendment rulings around association and speech, an accessible entry point into which would be NAACP v. Alabama, and follow into cases that cite it.
So when FoundationDB was acquired, Snowflake kept using it as some sort of internal fork? Wow
Most imperative languages have an intermediate language in which local variables are immutable. However, purity is about more than immutability. For example, in C++

x = doSomething(x) + 1

Can be written to not overwrite x

int x2 = doSomething(x) + 1

This is equivalent in some ways to Haskell

let x' = doSomething x + 1

However, I know that in Haskell, evaluating 'doSomething x' will not turn off the computer, display anything to the user, or launch missiles. I have no idea what evaluating 'doSomething(x)' does in C++. It may add things to caches, exit the program, etc.

Normally a manufacturer does not get away with a product that he knows will cause 30k deaths per year just by saying that behavior, which is the most common behavior, constitutes misuse. But the ethics of that behavior apparently varies from person to person.

That is what it means. Note that the lines ("edges" in graph theory terms) can cross each other.

Nelson asked: What is the smallest number of colors that you’d need to color any such graph, even one formed by linking an infinite number of vertices?

The Wikipedia page describes the infinite-vertices version of this graph as

an infinite graph with all points of the plane as vertices and with an edge between two vertices if and only if the distance between the two points is 1.

This of course is impossible to draw but Wikipedia shows seven-vertex and ten-vertex subgraphs of it:
