It would get a lot more positive comments if it was called what it is: A low-bandwidth mesh network. It's nice, but not going to replace ISPs anytime soon. It consumes more energy, it's slower, less reliable and higher latency than regular wired/fiber networks.

These things don't scale well and all those radios can be universally jammed by a single drone over the city. Not a great backup plan if you're anti-establishment.

I'd love to partake in such a project but keeping your expectations grounded is very important.
The problem with AI in particle physics is that you need to very well understand the efficiency of the selection ( rate of false negative and false positive classification).
And this rate of course isn't uniform for all kinds of events. Thus, the uncertainty on the selection efficiency tends to grow with the complexity of the machine learning model. This directly hurts your sensitivy, the very thing you were trying to improve by using an AI - based process.

It's a trade-off.
It would most probably never end up pegging an entire core if you use key auth and have conventional logins deactivated, no?

I mean, why would people even try.
I am not sure, that sounds like a bad idea. Your chances of being one of the three wining teams are not terribly high and even if you manage to win, $12k for three months of work is not that much even if you work alone. Assuming there will be someone submitting a solution obtained using state of the art algorithms, it would probably be pretty naive to assume you have any significant chance of winning by just spending a couple of hours and throwing some generic machine learning algorithms at the problem.

It immediately looked like a really interesting challenge to me, but after reading a bit about the state of the art it seems like three months is a pretty short time to come up with a meaningful result even if you could work on it fulltime. Many people already invested a lot of time in that problem and existing solutions are quite sophisticated and good. The material actually mentions that they expect that you will have to take into account things like adjacent detectors overlapping by a few pixels or how particles may light up several pixels if they hit the detector at very shallow angles and cross several pixels as they pass through the detector.

The first thing someone probably considers is something like a Hough transformation and it turns out the creators of the challenge mention that in the material and submitted a solution based on this as a bench mark which achieves a score of about 20 %. If I read the related documents correctly, a meaningful result will require a score of at least about 90 % and the state of the art would probably be somewhere around 95 % to 98 %. The current leader is at 26.48 %, admittedly the challenge is only 5 days old. I am really curious where the scores will be at the end.
Tokugawa era had lasting peace partly because of these bullshit jobs. It was a way to build institutions that kept 300 regional daimyos and people who trained weapons in check.

Japanese developed clever formal court system (Sankin-kotai "alternate attendance") where half of the daimyos were kept hostage in the capital city at all times. Spend year in your own lands surrounded by your own men, one year as hostage in the capital that was under the control of the shogun. If daimio left the capital, his wife and heir were kept as hostages. All these daimios and their close families needed something to do to make their life meaningful. Same applied to their underlings.

King Louis XIV had similar system for the same reasons. Nobles had to keep hostage in his palace at Versailles and they needed things to do. The court system developed bullshit jobs for nobles, like helping him into the bed or taking part of the party. Everyone was given a role to play.
No, but CERN Is known to be careful with their PR. Presumably, and this is just my intuition speaking, a big enough cluster of computers would solve this, but they're taking an opportunity to experiment with different techniques and methods for this experiment, and that's pretty much it.

If CERN had an unlimited budget, I suspect they'd do it however they did it before.
I would just think of it as keeping the machine oiled.

Can't they ask the top K teams for their solutions. Offer some smaller prize to them. I believe Kaggle supports that. Even if you have 10 top teams of 5 people each and gave them a sum of 300K total its damn cheap than hiring 4 or 5 full time engineers working for < 1 year.
There’s a pretty strong social expectation of “getting a job”. When full time “working for the man” employment is what friends and family expect, it easily becomes the default.

Mortgage lenders (and probably other financial institutions) are generally happier dealing with employees, too. I’m not actually convinced it’s entirely about immediate risk: employees get laid off frequently enough that I don’t think the short-to-mid-term risk difference really justifies the preference. Rather, it’s that working a normal-looking day job is a conformity signal.
It was 2016 when we started this front-end rewrite, away from a mess of jQuery and Razor view spaghetti. Angular 2 was brand new, without much support for third-party components we used, and AngularJS looked like the mature option. Probably should have bet the other horse, but c'est la vie.
This competition (and the followup) is official for important conferences in the field, so I expect many teams to publish their results.
In general there is lots of discussion, tips & tricks posted online during such competitons, both in Kaggle forums and in blogs. So the value is certainly more than that off the winner, and most of it is available to everyone, not just the sponsors.

It's not my definition! And you're right, normal message passing does leave you vulnerable to race conditions and your program can run a different way each time you run it! That's a major problem with it.

That's why I think other models of concurrency, such as the fork-join model, where the equivalent of 'messages' have to arrive in a deterministic order and so there are no race conditions, are safer.
That would be problematic, but I never encountered that. I'm using cheapest VPS with public IP and without any additional protections. I just checked and its load average is 0.00, so load is non-existant.

I interpreted that you could feel imposter syndrome simply from the fact that you don't look like you belong and thus minorities have a more difficult time because they can't hide because their difference is literally visible.

When it comes to women or minorities in tech or female founders, if the statistics aren't good enough I believe it's easily visible. Even Google has an atrocious amount of Hispanic or African American engineers. If you work in tech look around your office or at the next tech conference. The lack of visibility is a big problem because it gives the subtle message that you don't belong.

Future generations of minorities won't feel a vague sense of inferiority from reading comments like these, they will have the benefit of seeing who was right or wrong. In fact they might be more amazed by the amount of ignorance...
Enterprise, Not Aid - Interview with BABB's Annie Mellor
Keys, like passwords, can be leaked, so it's possible there are databases of leaked keys out in the world, because unlike PGP or SSL certs, ssh keys don't have a revocation mechanism built in. So they could just try all the known leaked keys - like they try known leaked or default passwords.

Then there was this: https://jblevins.org/log/ssh-vulnkey
(tl;dr - there was a bug in debian that caused ssh-keygen to only produce a very small number of keys rather than keys distributed across the whole keyspace). After that became public the bots were all about trying those keys for a few years after. To this day it's recommended to not used keys from that set.

Point being - the bots will try because it the tiny marginal cost is not high enough to stop the attempt.
This is the same in industry: At a company that was supposed to be financially struggling, the CEO did:

1) Lay off software engineers are (the best ones, he had no clue).

2) Increase the head count in the HR department.

3) The increased head count in the HR department proceeded to move from one billing or HR platform to the next because they needed activity.

4) Hire "diverse" new (cheap) software engineers with no clue.

I think professional unions with all their flaws are needed not primarily to bargain for higher incomes, but to stop this social welfare program for the bureaucracy.

I can definitely see people wanting to stay in an area and accept lower wages because they identify strongly with the area (in the US and Canada, I’m betting Quebec ranks near the top in terms of this) or because they identify looking for a high salary as taboo.

At the same time, it’s a sure-fire recipe for a brain drain, as undoubtedly some very smart people will emigrate for 2x-3x higher wages (based on your numbers), and just as importantly very few people will want to immigrate and accept lower wages. On the time scale of decades this definitely creates a big issue.
The value of land is the opportunity cost of not putting it to its best use withing existing planning regulations/zoning.

Its is also the loss of opportunity suffered by those excluded with left uncompensated leads to a net transfer of incomes, capitalised into rental incomes and selling prices, and a misallocation of resources. Housing issues are purely a symptom of this economic injustice.

A Land Value Tax ends that net transfer, which is why the selling price of land falls to zero.
Wow, as if they didn't have a big enough housing shortage.

Funnily enough, your post is also missing some important details. The Canadian system is very transparent with its scoring. Unless you're from a natively English/French speaking country, you need test scores to validate your proficiency in English/French. Certified doesn't mean much. Also, you need degrees from accredited/verifiable institutions to really rack up points - if your friend is self-taught, it may be no good. Which does speak to the original point of Canadian conservatism.

SpookFlare v2.0 – Loader, Dropper Generator with Multiple Features for Bypa
I was joyfully expecting this upgrade and checked the release notes daily during the RC phase. Don't let the quick 'major' version changes shock you, upgrading 4 -> 5 was easy and I expect the same for this upgrade.

A big thanks to everyone involved in shaping this release and ensuring the upgradability for the past major versions, including the huge effort in making it possible to continuously migrate from AngularJS. <3

If you care for the details behind my experiences:

We have begun migrating a ~80k loc AngularJS codebase first to TypeScript in 2016, which was the preparation for the Angular upgrade starting Q1 this year. Now we are roughly 80% migrated to Angular 5 (in the meantime we did the upgrade from 4 to 5 in a few hours thanks to https://update.angular.io/), the rest running with ui-router hybrid [1] and ngUpgrade [2] and now are looking forward to moving the rest to Angular and upgrading to 6.0.

Coming from AngularJS where many things are done without a proper reason, I have started to embrace and even somewhat love Angular for the niceties it brings it. When you already embraced TypeScript, it is a breeze to work with and I cannot recommend it enough (for large-scale frontends this is).

The one pitfall I always ended up with during the migration was that AngularJS attribute directives cannot be converted to Angular and then downgraded (In the hybrid app, the entry component is always(?) AngularJS and up from there), which is a large part of the remaining AngularJS code. There are a few workarounds but they did not seem to work properly. If anyone has suggestions on that part.

> Are you suggesting that therefore he does not know the answer?

No, I'm asserting that any statements by Clapper can't show the NSA lying about anything any more than statements by Trump can show the NSA lying about anything because neither is part of the NSA.

> The question posed in the linked video clip is "Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions, or hundreds of millions of Americans?".

And the video is irrelevant to the discussion both due to the point above and due to the discussion being about recording content of conversations, as I said in GGP.
"Forced out before receiving compensation" just means it was done quickly; it doesn't necessarily (or even likely) mean they weren't paid. Not paying would lead to far higher risk of security compromise for the site (from legal challenges, etc.), so it seems unlikely they wouldn't pay.
And what about the load balancers, the databases instances, the queuing system, the global CDN, the caching servers, etc? I could script my own strategy for autoscaling that integrates with metrics from the running instances, but why would I when I click on a few buttons and have autoscaling based on CloudWatch metrics, the size of the SQS queue, CPU usage etc?

But as far as "vendor lock-in", it's like developers wrapping database access up into a repository pattern just in case we want to change databases. In the real world, hardly anyone takes on massive infrastructure changes to save a few dollars.

On the other hand, there are frameworks like Serverless and Terraform to build infrastructure in a cloud vendor neutral method.
Actually if you have a solid amount of spare time, capital might not what you need. Capital is a means to create time, though.

The number one reason for me to use vim is also to be able to use it in a terminal. The number one reason for a terminal is to have a consistent current directory.

The BBC was never better. It’s a media organisation. By virtue of the people in the industry it must have a left wing bias. More importantly, being a bureaucracy that still exists we know that it’s continued existence is its primary aim. The BBC and all the similar organisations in different countries helped define the bounds of polite opinion. Whether that was 30-70 or 40-60 on some hypothetical left-right scale the effect is the same. People outside the Overton window hated the established media, whether the Guardian, the Times, the Telegraph or the ostensibly non-partisan BBC. The explosion in television channels and more importantly, the internet led to an information free for all. The Overton window for polite opinion hasn’t shifted much but people are a great deal more aware of the alternate viewpoints and possibilities. The number of people who find the BBC or any other establishment organ both ideologically congenial and politically relevant has undergone a decline that’s irreversible. The information ecology and economy have changed.
> - I highly recommend supporting an identical interface found in OpenAI's gym. Check their docs out. Even better would be to have your game importable as an environment in gym.

> - Configurable screen resolution would be great (eg. output 120x100)

I think both of these things assume you are going to be doing RL from pixels. I think to support a wider variety of RL/control research, you should be able to get the game state in a structured form and not just a flat vector the way gym does it.

But even then, that's still just one branch of AI research. I've seen people optimize how games behave to optimize engagement with the game, and in that setting just controlling the player is not enough. The work I saw looked at controlling level progression to increase engagement, but you could imagine controlling other bits of the game, particularly relevant if your game is not symmetric and the metric you care about is not just making the best AI.

Maybe not AI, but people also do research on how to replace components of games with ML components and the results can be pretty cool, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ul0Gilv5wvY

Which is just to say that there is not one size fits all approach here.
IMO, HN comments generally exceed the value of the story linked. Wikipedia suggest you really can scale content without Advertising.

In the wider realm it's a mixed bag, but advertising really does not seem necessary.

It remains to be seen how that will work out. If your equivalency were correct, we'd expect the issuance of new currencies to reduce the value of old ones, and so far we're not seeing much evidence of that.

Hayek wrote a book arguing that a system of competing privately-issued currencies would ultimately result in currencies with stable value. Of course we haven't yet seen evidence for that either.
