Solar project lending startup Wunder Capital raises $112M
Novel paper. But it seems like a lot of the excitement is because of the fusion of two buzz-words, one from the 80s and 90s and another from the 2010s. So, the output is a bunch of stuff coming out of a kinda simple dynamical system. Chaotic for sure, but still simple. Deep learning (and more generally, recurrent neural nets, LSTMs, and derivatives thereof) has been shown capable of learning much more complex nonlinear systems, including human perception. Given this, I think the OP paper is a low-hanging fruit. It was only a matter of time before someone figured out a way to learn specific chaotic nonlinear dynamical systems. Nice work nonetheless.

The linked article https://freedom-to-tinker.com/2018/04/18/no-boundaries-for-f... provides much more detail and links to source code, such as https://gist.github.com/englehardt/db3ecea255ccd6aa2b0cb73ca...

It's important to recognize that this is not an exploit or high-tech exfiltration: it's extremely well-documented in https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/FB... and https://developers.facebook.com/docs/javascript/reference/FB... - the Facebook library even assumes that potentially multiple scripts may be checking repeatedly, and caches accordingly. Facebook is incentivized to make it as easy as possible to integrate their login across the internet, and that entails removing any requirements such as server-side processing that would discourage every tag from including this code.

Seeing this and being surprised is like watching a teen movie where the gossiper invites the entire school to listen in on the phone line while the protagonist is (unwisely) sharing a secret with them, and thinking as you watch, "that's totally out of character for the gossiper - even though they want to collect people's information themselves, there's no way they would invite other people to listen in as they're in the process of receiving that information."
Python isn't first-class in any GUI framework IIRC (although Qt for Python may change this). JavaScript and C#, with regards to GUI, are single-platform languages (I've never seen a UI built with Node and no browser, and I don't see a good way to build a Linux GUI in C# that is actively maintained). That leaves Java, which I will concede, even though Java isn't first-class on any platform except Android.

Thanks for the question, nothrabannosir! Very key points here, so want to answer it in-depth.

Half a dozen points to answer this question:

- First off, our #1 north star metrics are order approval rates and minimal false positives. We measure this for every merchant. Clients sign up with us under the clear expectation that they'll see a spike in order approval rates and all of our case studies (compared to tools like Signifyd, Riskified, Stripe Radar, and many others) have shown significant spikes in order approval rates.

- We have some of our case studies published here https://bolt.com/case-studies and will be posting more in short order.

- We are more incentivized than siloed fraud detection providers to approve more orders. Payment processors are aligned to maximize volume. Fraud providers are aligned to minimize fraud. We play both roles. We want maximum volume through our pipes just as badly as merchants do.

- Furthermore, fraud rates are simply FRAUD / TOTAL VOLUME. We always aim to maximize TOTAL VOLUME to keep fraud rates low vs squeezing the numerator (which is what most companies do).

- Finally, as elaborated in the most, we have unparalleled data visibility by powering checkout. We use no rules. So, just because something looks bad (e.g. a user using a VPN, coming from a certain country, etc) our models just factor that in as one of hundreds of variables.

- We try to not profit and maximize fraud for the first several months to root out false positives in our models. If you only approve things that are clearly good and reject all else, your models will never learn.

- Our human review team rigorously processes every machine decline before it's officially declined to once again maximize order approvals.

A lot more that I could elaborate on here. But, just a few quick tidbits on what we do to minimize false positives as our #1 priority. All of the above and more lends itself to, what we believe to be, the best results in the industry.
> By taking a side in that bet, your priorities may not be aligned with that of the customer (esp high margin merchants are totally fine with some fraud).

I thought exactly this - they will reject the transaction if uncertain, because making bad decision here would mean loosing money for them.
Luminoth 0.1: SSD model and pre-trained checkpoints
> entitlement to drive and park cars everywhere

Most places in the US at least are not very livable without a car. You majorly hurt commerce and people's quality of life by removing vehicles without completely changing the layout of cities to make them work with other options.

Not that we shouldn't pursue those sorts of changes but that thinking of it as "entitlement" is shallow and not constructive. The entire system was engineered around the car. To remove the car you have to reengineer the system.
Could you explain what the massive implication difference between the quote and the paraphrase is? I'm not seeing it for some reason.

Yeah, I can't use a mobile device as a computer. I've tried, it sucks. Multitasking sucks, its scheduling sucks, its interface sucks. Wireless attachments suck. Not having buttons or expandable storage or bigger batteries sucks. What you really want is a tablet computer. It still slightly sucks, but it's way better than dealing with Android or iOS.
The same can be said for drugs and alcohol.

I am fine, thanks.

I really enjoy not needing a car and don't enjoy driving, even a nice one.

The various reports of low quality of Tesla's cars (like their doors :/ ) have also contributed to suppress any tesla envy.

If I really needed a car right now, I would start by comparing the different ones on the market, Tesla is not the only player in town anymore.
If a script running on the page wants to scrape your data then creating a new account isn’t going to protect you. In fact it’s probably worse, because the malicious script can sniff your login details.
They don't have a great story around extensions - the ones they do have are unsupported/buggy. For example, PostGIS is missing "ST_FromGeoJSON" because it was compiled with the wrong flag - and has been this way for over a year despite hundreds of user complaints.

All these items seems remote, sometimes funny or interesting until I recognize my friend's very passport.
the problem is that zoning is a bad hack to solve the problem of how a neighborhood feels.

we know that we don't want it get too big or loud - no 50 story office building, or vape shops and bars on every corner - so we write blanket rules restricting certain kinds of construction and grant power to the people already living there for changes to the code itself and approval over all buildings matching the existing code

this puts all the power in two types of people - those entrenched in this process with political and financial power, and existing homeowners. Both of these groups then use their power to preserve what they already have and impose their ideal of a neighborhood over everyone else

and because we live in America not only do the people in power act knowingly in the interest of preserving their wealth and power but also incorporate their biases - especially against members of a class or race - into exclusio

this is so fundamentally broken and yet as a fundamental construct American cities lack any mechanism for questioning the concentration of power in homeowners and it is crazy.

in a transit starved stretch of Brooklyn, homeowners blocked a bus lane from going up just because they wouldn't let go of a hundred parking spots during weekday business hours. entire communities suffer because people who own homes and cars refuse to compromise
Because in the end, nothing too great happened.

And people can do all kinds of BS.

Doesn't mean they're condemned to it for live. Or that they don't deserve second and third chances.

The Old Testament "eye for an eye" responses just lead to worse outcomes.
I think that's the issue, sure some companies will overprovision but as you get closer to 100% utilization, BigQuery quickly becomes extremely expensive compared to the other options, unless you're able to afford the 40k/month fee to get to flat-rate.

Also Snowflake Data is another option that supports automatic provisioning and pausing resources which is even easier to manage than redshift. Changing bigquery pricing to be compressed data stored and scanned would go a long way towards making it more attractive for full-time usage.
This does not discuss whether nonusers will be asked to opt-in. Curious how GDPR will change tracking people w/out FB accounts.

IANAL. The only argument I'm aware of that data controllers can make for processing data without consent is if there is a legitimate interest: if the data controller needs to process the data in fulfillment of a contract/service. I wonder how this will play out for non-users. It would seem there's no legitimate interest there.
The problem is that these days everyone is sending HTML mail and expecting to receive it. So it's not very practical for that reason.

The full inbox search and anti-spam capabilities are also way below what you'd get from Gmail, although some of those are not Pine's fault since they're normally performed by a different part of the mail stack.
Key phrase here:

"Mouse movements, keystrokes, capitalization, clipboard usage, and more make sense, because we understand all the elements of the DOM" ...

Such data is super valuable for fraud detection.

That is - if ability to model mouse movements as well as similar behavior features over time is indeed part of the offering and included into modeling [1]. Pretty much no one to speak of is productizing it today.

MakerDAO's system over-collateralizes on DAI. Currently, it takes at least $1.50 of ETH to create $1 of DAI. This is based on the volatility and risk profile of ETH. These parameters are adjustable by MakerDAO token holders. Suppose they added gold to the asset basket where 50% of DAI was backed by gold and 50% was backed by ETH. They could require 125% position on gold and 150% position on ETH. In this case, 50% of the supply of DAI would be subject to the whims of ETH price while 50% would depend on gold. If gold or ETH were both to drop to near zero at nearly the same time so rapidly that the CDPs could not be liquidated in time, then the system would be at risk. Seeing as how Gold and ETH are not correlated, this is an unlikely event. Adding 8 more uncorrelated assets to the protocol would only further improve the stability of the system.
On my windows 10 laptop which is up to date, i could get to Google Keep on Google Chrome much faster than the Sticky Notes of Windows.

Much worse i clicked on the sticky notes on the windows first and then it took longer to open and so i opened chrome and then opened keep and started taking my notes and after some more time sticky notes showed up in a hanged n unusable mode.

I cannot believe some one who can build something like windows is incapable of optimizing and make things faster and usable.

One obvious solution would be to add more bike parking. Bike parking is rare in most cities, which is why you end up with people locking their bikes to poles, fences, trees, benches, and anything else available.

It's amazing how much urban space we're willing to dedicate to cars in the way of streets and parking (most of it free!), and yet bicycle parking is often a rarity.
Exponentiation usually binds more tightly than multiplication, so

6 m² = 6 * (m²) != (6 m)²
I totally agree with you. I edited my original comment to hopefully make it a little bit clear.
Some people, like me, can only wear headphones or earplugs for a short period of time - like 2 hours - before they develop ear infections.

Furthermore, administrative controls (headphones) for what is actually a safety and health problem (excess noise) are the solution of last resort from a health and safety perspective. A good health and safety person would advise structural mitigation, not forcing everyone to put on personal protective equipment (headphones.)

When open plan offices can regularly burst up to 95 dB (yes, I took in a meter and measured the last one I was in) and are often 65 dB when they are "quiet", noise is absolutely a health and safety issue. Constant noise, even if not immediately damaging to hearing, can cause increased stress and other physiological issues.

Smart contracts are usually not meant to be actual contracts between parties so much as something more like financial applications. For example, a common type of smart contract implements a new token type by providing an API for distributing and transferring them. This is the kind of thing that could be useful if you could upgrade it, perhaps with input from token holders. That said, I totally agree with the idea of declarative smart contracts for things that are actually contracts.
> 2.7 is still the default system Python on a lot of Linux distros

I will never understand why that matters. "ed" is the default system editor, but I'm only "{apt-get,yum} install {vim,emacs}" away from having something I actually want to use. That's the whole point of a distro. You don't have to use Python 2.ancient just because /usr/bin/paleolithic is written with it.
memoization is a common use case. If you are doing an expensive computation that gives the same answer for the the same inputs, you can build a lookup table for cases you have already encountered to avoid recomputing. you can use an object to encapsulate the inputs (or the inputs might be objects already).
For reliability, sure, but that doesn't matter when:

1. lives are relatively cheap

2. there is an ejection seat

3. most flights will complete without a failure

You can fight a war even if every flight has a 1% chance of a random engine explosion. There were worse odds over Europe in World War II.

GE decided to make passenger jet engines in China. There should be no doubt that the reliability (likely a function of the factory) will find its way back into fighter jet engines.

Regarding performance, that ought to match the Russian engines that were cloned.

>> One good reason is binary size; JS is going to have the advantage here since its runtime is already installed.

Yeah, that's true now though I don't think there is something that stops browsers to host a runtime(i.e. a pre-loaded std wasm library + wasm-gc) to help the languages compiled to wasm to reduce their compilation size. The question is really whether the browsers want to make WASM a first class citizen or not.

>> Another good reason is that, regardless of what you read on Reddit and Hacker News, a lot of people actually really like JavaScript.

I believe WASM could serve the other lot of people who are not that much into JavaScript. Using the same language on server and browser also reduces friction(i.e. see NodeJS). Personally I believe JS has a such rank based on reach not on merit.
"and thus very vulnerable to strikes or arbitrary price hikes"

'Trustjacking' Could Expose iPhones to Attack
I think we'll have to agree to disagree. I expect that EU users won't be spending all their time on the web issuing 50 approvals for each page they load. You may so despise ad-supported services that this is your dream for the world, but unfortunately for your dream (and fortunately for all users that actually want to be able to use the Web), even the heavy-handed GDPR does not mandate this.
I mean, you can, but you need to start from a relatively powerful position.

While cities frequently arise organically, they do exist for reasons. People move to cities for opportunity. Opportunity to find work is the most common one, but other ones crop up. Opportunity to meet people; opportunity to produce or consume the finer arts. Educational opportunities, for themselves or their children. Opportunities for freedom of some kind, religious, sexual, literal.

So if you want to build a new city, you have to ask yourself, what opportunities can we create for people, to inspire them to move here? You don't have to provide all the opportunities - once you have a critical mass of people they'll create new opportunities themselves to pull in more people - but to get the ball rolling you need to create some core opportunity that is great enough to pull in that initial critical mass of people.

Historically this has happened most often through industry. You go to a small nothing of a town, open a new factory that employs thousands of people, and it turns into a city.

As far as I understood this means you can't create pull requests of branches you don't have push access to (for example other people's forks) unless you're a project collaborator. It shouldn't affect your own branches.
Got the some exact issues that you mention. Also in the US, not that much in Europe.

Given the kind of company that we are, we lose way more from false-positives than from true-positives. With this system in place, Stripe is punishing legit users and businesses, with no way to change the default behavior.

I enjoy using Stripe as the next guy, but this needs to radically improve. At least provide me as a merchant a button to whitelist / accept a customer and override your rules.
