You're just stating an anthropic-principle argument here, and unfortunately anthropic arguments tend conceal a fallacy of equivocation. You can look up some of William Lane Craig's work for a formal logical analysis showing exactly where it goes wrong, but the traditional plain-language analogy is:

Imagine you're sitting in a prison cell, and you've been told you're going to be executed by a firing squad of a dozen expert marksmen, who will shoot you from a distance of only a few feet away.

You're led out of your cell, tied to a stake, the marksmen line up, they raise their rifles and aim at you, and you hear the mass bang of their simultaneous firing. And... you discover you are unharmed. All twelve expert marksmen completely missed you, at close range!

The anthropic argument says you should be completely unsurprised; after all, the only way for you to be observing the marksmen now is if they all missed, so the probability of them having missed, given that you are observing them, is 1. We should not be surprised by something which has probability 1.

While this is trivially true, it is also utterly unconvincing and utterly pointless. You are perfectly justified in being surprised that all the marksmen missed, and here is the equivocation: the anthropic argument tells you not to be surprised, but the thing it tells you not to be surprised at is not the thing that was actually surprising. Your prior for all the marksmen missing and leaving you completely unharmed should have been very, very low, and no amount of ex-post-facto wrangling can change that.

Or, put more simply, anthropic arguments can be used to launder any past event to a probability of 1; after all, the probability of event X having happened, given that you observed event X, is always trivially 1. But it tells you nothing useful whatsoever.

I spent the best of a weekend putting it together. I could have done it quicker, but my son was helping. It was his mainly his idea.

I don't really save much time. The real benefit is knowing that the food won't burn. Growing up my mother would make soups and stews, she'd leave them to simmer for 30 mins without checking. The food on the bottom of the pot would burn and make the whole thing taste nasty. I wanted to make a system that would prevent that, whereas my son just loves building robots and playing with motors.

It was as much a project for me and my son to mess around with as much as an actual kitchen time saver. But we have plans to develop it and just see where it goes.
In order to design a really secure system, wouldn't you first have to know what "secure" is? If I am an expert an building impenetrable servers, then I must know how to penetrate servers since I've added patches to block all known attacks. How could I do that without first being a hacker?

See, its a progression not a dichotomy. A hacker possesses only a subset of a truly skilled security programmer. And the security programmer always has home field advantage. As a hacker becomes more seasoned, they learn more and more about the system until they reach the level of the security programmer or the person implementing all the locks and keys

I think you've just been lucky, after all the whole point of buyer-scams is that they buy something, then raise a complaint and get a refund.

The end result is that the buyer has your item, and has their money returned. Sure they might need some available money, but they don't lose out.

FastText is state of the art when it comes to word embedding due to its ability to generate embedding for even words it has not seen, so perhaps your problem lies in your model's architecture, are you using convolution neural nets or just basic feed forward networks I have had great success using CNN for text classification, and in your words pre-processing are you filtering out stopwords(very common words in English that throw confusion to a models ability to correctly classify text's).

It's surely interesting that you try to figure out the "state of art" but as far as I see the amount of information is too low to recover more readability, and that was my estimate even before your experiments. The way I saw it, the algorithm would have to model the "compression interference patterns" to do that, and even if something like that existed the amount of information seems to be far too low.

If it's really about the given talk and not exploring state of art in algorithms for recovering of the (textual?) information lost due to video compression, you'd be better off to communicate

1) with Dr Hipp who gave the talk -- he published the more recent original slides on the sqlite site:

https://www.sqlite.org/talks/

so it could be reasonable he'd be willing to publish these older slides (which he probably considers in some aspects outdated). Then only if that fails:

2) with the author of the video who possibly still has a higher quality version of the video, if the quality was dropped during the video compression or preparation for youtube, e.g. while trying to reduce bandwidth or reencode from the native recording format.
Perhaps some of the embarrassment belongs to those who get server and client confused. (-:

Thanks for sharing this. Fascinating!

I'm a big fan of serving content APIs as static assets like you are doing here. Especially good for content which changes infrequently (a few times a day rather than many times a minute).

Static site generators typically make it simple to publish a structured data view like a JSON or XML feed of content alongside content pages as HTML (such a bonus!), but it is interesting to see that you've separated the API generation entirely as a Hugo build. (presumably for compile speed?)

I work at Netlify and am something of a JAMstack enthusiast. I'd love to learn more about the experience of designing and building this. If you'd be interested in doing more of a write up, or just sharing any of the learnings from along the way, I'd love to chat.

This kind of shows that people just want to write stuff and search for it later, rather than spend time organizing it. Gmail and Google Drive encourage this behavior too.

How about 2000 of those "Are you sure you want to leave" popups. Eventually, they'll get tired of clicking and just give in. Also, use a 1 touch button for checkout so the repeated clicking exercise earlier has them primed for a quick trigger.

You could also evaluate the pages where people leave the most and determine how long they were on that page and what they were last looking at. See if you can detect a theme the old fashion way. Also, always make checkout 1 click away and always advertise the advantages of 1 click checkout.

We have used Slack and now switched to Google Chat. I think your problems stem from the fact that using slack for off-topic discussion was allowed in the first place. Could it be that the bosses were not present?
Spot on. The two layer system is both a blessing and a curse.

Debugging problems can get really hairy because of the two layer split, and it's just not worth it if one is running Marathon as the only framework.

I came to the conclusion that Mesos' biggest strength is giving people the option to write their own framework. It's not difficult, and gives you a lot of power over execution.

Marathon itself appears to be very simple, but has some really weird shortcomings. For instance, it's not possible to submit a deployment and then check whether everything went well, except if you manually compare the deployment before and after (this was still true as of 1.4.x).

Furthermore, Mesosphere abandoned the Marathon GUI, and I got no clue how the work of transitioning that part into the hands of volunteers are coming along, but this was essentially what tipped the scales for us.

(We're currently migrating from Mesos to K8s.)

Being able to reliably create your entire infrastructure on another platform in 'minutes', for example. Not to mention applications architected from the ground up around cloud-friendly and scale-friendly primitives...

2-3 hand-managed servers are great, but will absolutely warp your application and will slowly accrue configuration cruft. That's not terrible, but for many Real World issues portability and freedom to fire up wholly valid test-environments are game-changers. Even the acquisition stories are nicer.

This reminds me of the old MongoDB 'issue' where MongoDB was accused of being insecure because developers failed to secure their database instances properly.

Aside from that, Firebase has learned from their pre-aquisition time and now sets all new DB instances to locked.
New open source language for JSON transformations (Java implementation)
Yes, this is a problem on Firebase side.

If your software can be configured in an insecure manner, that's what people will do.

There are so many developers out there that every possible mistake will be made. The easier the mistake is to make, the more common it will be. If the mistake requires the developer to perform an action to avoid it, it will be ubiquitous.

In 2018, security can no longer be an afterthought. Your product must be secure out of the box. Insecure configurations must be hard or impossible to set up.

You can't offer an insecure "development mode", because that is what people will use in production.

(PS: Of course it is also the developers fault. But that is no excuse for the vendor. There are lots of incompetent developers out there. Confused developers are not an exception. Your product must be secure even if people don't read the documentation)

Is the solution to this and previous side channel bugs to simply not run untrusted and trusted code on the same machine?

When It’s Good to Be Antisocial – Facts So Romantic
Exactly this. Some people have hard time to understand that sometimes writing 5 lines of code can take whole day of chasing the bug and sometimes if everything goes smooth whole system can be prototype in a day.
Seconded. I reported bugs in GNU Awk, found via fuzzing, and discovered that fingerprinting bogus SSH keys could result in null-pointer dereferences. Of course I also discovered bugs in my own software!

(In my case I fuzzed a simple virtual machine and the display-mode of a console-based email-client.)

It is disappointing how often it is trivial to find bugs via fuzzing, which I guess just underlines the point that we SHOULD be fuzzing more often. Even on programs/libraries that are "old".

> Schema migration failure is a stop the world a scenario for our entire stack.

That's the big problem, and I don't believe that Kubernetes can help with that. It's too intimately tied to your application internals. The recommended practice for migrations is to do them in multiple zero-downtime steps, e.g. first deploy code that handles both old and new schema, then migrate, then deploy to remove transitional code.
There was plenty of innovation before patents. The purpose of patents was never to incentivize innovation. The purpose was to incentivize disclosure, to allow the progress of society by revealing trade secrets (in exchange for which they would be protected from competitors for a time).

If you've ever tried to read a patent, you'll know this system has failed. In almost no cases can you meaningfully replicate an invention from a patent. Quite apart from which, a huge number of things under patent protection today are public knowledge anyway, or can be considered 'obvious'.
Thank you for mentioning that. I have found things like displaying humility for example can be mistaken as "lack of confidence" in western culture.

I don't believe in IQ as a measure of anything so anything I say has to be read in that context.

I am probably in the lower set. I struggle with abstraction, I struggle with retention of key mathematical concepts like the application of Compositions of functions, or lazy evaluation or partial function application or lambda calculus.

All of these I judge people probably in the higher-est set, to show signs of fluency and understanding in a deep sense.

I'm pretty sure you can embed/aggregate youtube videos, as long as the author allows it, anyway you want. Youtube still makes money off any ads that show up in the video, why do they care where/how people get to the videos, as long as it's still showing advertising? The logo though, could possibly be too similar to youtube's and cause some issues.

Not really. I took a look at some of the reported bugs, and all of the test cases seemed to be invalid code in some way, though often due to type or semantic errors rather than bad syntax. But the fuzzer is looking for crashes or internal compiler errors, which represent a bug regardless of how bogus the input to the compiler was.
I've thought a lot about how Seveneves could be adapted, and man ... it's going to be a tough thing to pull off. A movie trilogy might be able to cover half of it. Were I to do it myself, I'd probably go for a three-season TV series, with each season being one of the parts of the novel. I have no doubt that there's a ton that can be cut from an adaptation, but I'd be hard pressed to cut much, personally. I'm very bearish on any potential adaptation to a single film, as much as I'd love to see one happen.
It sounds great, but I've always found the DC/OS marketplace not really flexible enough. I've looked at many services, but in most cases the requirements for running a service from the marketplace were for extremely high throughput situations. I wanted to experiment with arrongoDB but it required a total of 16GB memory (IIRC).

Practically, I think kubernetes with helm charts gets will get you at least 90% of what DC/OS offers.

Also, running Kubernetes itself is complicated enough, running it on a different scheduler will just expose you to the pains of both schedulers.
