Hmm, good catch. Interestingly, I considered using `a + b` as sugar for `a.__add__(b)`, but rejected that because they're not quite equivalent. For example if `__add__` is defined using a magic method:

>>> class A(object):
... def __getattribute__(self, attr):
... if attr == "__add__":
... return lambda *_: "hello world"
... return None
...
>>> a = A()
>>> a.__add__(A())
'hello world'
>>> a + A()

Sorry yeah, I forgot about how the term has been mangled over the years. I was coming from a 3GPP perspective where the term is specifically defined as experience [0]

In particular:

* only the QoS perceived by end-user matter

* QoS definitions have to be future proof;

* QoS has to be provided end-to-end.

* QoS attributes (or mapping of them) should not be restricted to one or few external QoS control mechanisms

This is one of the real problems with EU policymaking: "policy laundering". National governments are often in on it as well. Because the process is slow, somewhat opaque, and badly covered in national press, lobbyists can get things passed without adequate public debate.

(It's not precisely a "democratic/undemocratic" thing either, because it can happen equally well at the national level.)

Well, if you could transform your problem into the "stop" vs. "ped x-ing" problem, you could let the future smart self-driving cars solve it for you. Maybe they have more computational resources than you can muster (but that sounds very contrived, even if you could somehow harness the computational power of a freeway full of future cars). Or you could imagine another very contrived case where some self-driving car company controls some important algorithm you need to solve your problem via a patent and it would be illegal to solve your problem otherwise (also very contrived...).
I'm 20 years old and have a web and design agency with a co-founder and currently two employees (+ flexible workers). I can relate.

When I was younger (I know how this sounds) I read "The Lean Startup" and drank the Koolaid. I was feeling like a failure because I wasn't building the next big thing (tm) although I had an IQ of 152 and wrote code since ages. I think that some aspects of the startup bubble can be seriously bad for mental health. I've learned to accept myself and the world and cut the bullshit and "will to power"-esque thinking. Sometimes I still have feelings of unmet potential, but fortunately I now understand that a fast-growing startup is one of many solutions (and sometimes not even a solution at all). I can now learn to allow myself to find peace.
I'm pretty sure this is related to being able to continue running the applications even if the venue loses Internet access. You can't stop processing orders if your Internet access has a hiccup.

Umm, no. It doesn't stop it being an issue. The wording is ambiguous and this is risk that needs consideration when embarking on a venture. This law has definitely added at least friction to competing startups, and a barrier to entry at worst.

Text: "should be effective but remain proportionate, in
particular with regard to the size of the online content sharing service provider."

But this is exactly the wrong level of detail; it's not a reassurance because you and I and startups can have no idea what the level actually is. If they'd said "less than X employees or turnover less than X" it would be a specification. Instead it's horrible, expensive vagueness.

Tcp needs packets to be dropped quickly to get the feedback that your link can't handle the speed. Without that, it will appear that the speed of the network is fluctuating (as the buffer fills it appears your network is faster than it is, when the buffer is full it will start dropping packets which causes tcp to back off which causes the buffer to drain, now if tcp starts sending data before the buffer is empty you'll get a different apparent speed to tcp) and it is that fluctuation which causes the issues.

Yes, agree. I've worked in shelters. Burn-out time. The city government is cynical and heartless. The attitude of residents is "whatever." The moral compass of the city is non-existent. The underground BART stations at Civic and now Powell are full of demented elderly who live there, drink, drug and beg and sometimes jump in front of oncoming trains. And all that the city council seems capable of handling is to hold council meetings to vote to banish plastic straws. Really? With 10,000 people living on the streets, some with children, openly using drugs, leaving needles, openly defecating near many Burger King or fast food places or 711's. So mayoral candidate's campaign promise is more street sweepers to sweep away the poop. Next week it could be 220 lbs of poop and city council might decide to use taxpayer funds to find another excuse to ignore human suffering lining the streets and gutters. Churches used to let homeless men sleep in pews and sit on the property and beg and gave them lunch, socks, toiletries. They picked up some slack in helping those the city ignored. Until those who attended church and paid the bills stopped coming. After too many thefts, stench, disrespect, even the most caring had enough.

It really depends on the individual. My kids wake up between 5 and 6 and some weekends I might just tap away on my laptop while I sit in the front room with them with cartoons on (they're still too young to get up unsupervised).

Actually, it was irresponsible to take them on a cave tour this time of year because the rains often start in June, regardless of when the official start of rainy season is called. It's been like that as long as I've lived here, and there have been quite a few cases of cave tourists getting trapped during rainy season. So he did a good job of taking care of them once they were in trouble, but he should have not taken them in there in the first place.

yes that's a very good description of the best practices that sadly many companies are not really following.

In many situations the "right thing" must be explained, otherwise when people fail to get it they can argue that wasn't really the right thing after all (sure that's ultimately because they just want to deflect the blame from themselves; so don't let them! clearly explain the assumptions under which anti-fraud measures are operating so people cannot claim they didn't know)
It’s worth pointing out Amazon charges more than 10x a Worker on a per execution basis to use it as you describe for just 100ms of compute. If you’re actually using 30s it’s probably very expensive indeed.

Similar. If I'm not excited about a tv show by the time the first set of credits is shown, then I'll only watch the rest of the pilot if my friends have assured me it's really good. And even then I won't watch more than the pilot if it doesn't speak to me. Maybe it will get better in the second season or whatever, but life is short and a tv series is a lot of time.

Books, I'm a bit more dogged about. It has to be pretty bad before I won't at least skim it before giving up. Partly this is because I'm a very fast reader and most books I can finish in a sitting or two.

> claustrophobia can express itself in different ways

Too right. I'm a reasonably experienced cave diver, and regularly dive in a system of 11km of intersecting fully-underwater tunnels, with the single entry/exit being a small pond, a few feet across, in a small, underground air-filled cave. I'd typically go 700-800 meters out, with a dozen navigational decisions along the way (left? right? straight ahead?), then have to reverse all that to get back out. But a few years ago I had an MRI, where you're wheeled into a narrow metal tube, on your back, with your arms pinned to your sides, with the tube an inch away from your face. Result: GET ME OUT!! GET ME OUT!! I had to be wheeled back out & take a break, before I could grit my teeth and try again. I absolutely hated it. I told them I was an active cave diver, but I don't think they believed me :-)

Ripple wants to be a global payment platform for banks.

There's just one problem, the banking world already has a platform (created by the banks) called Swift.

Nearly every bank in the world is signed up to this platform and the banks can send payment requests to each other for pennies. (Basically text promises.)

The network effect in full effect.

So what's the advantage of Ripple? Well as far as I can see they don't have a USP.

And worse, even if a bank wants to start communicating with other banks using the Ripple network , each bank now has to create new agreements with each other. As opposed to Swift where you just sign up once.

Good luck with that.

Perhaps, but if anything the UK's own government and press were major offenders in this regard. A lot of incidents where the UK government could have done something within the EU framework but chose not to are blamed on the EU by the press.

As we are now seeing on trade, immigration, agriculture, etc, having the UK government try to take responsibility for those areas means the controversy immediately blows up in their face as suddenly they can no longer say different things to different audiences.

It's refreshing to see a positive (but nuanced) take for once.
Eliminating demonstrated interest seems to go against the whole Carnegie Mellon ethos. After all the motto is "My heart is in the work." Demonstrated interest was a way of admitting people who have passion for the subject and who may not have been admitted with grades or test scores alone. With this change, CMU will likely get more of the same applicants that all top tier universities get who just study for the SAT constantly instead of the kids who spend all their time programming or competing in robotics.

The argument advanced seems to be that eliminating demonstrated interest makes the admissions process more equitable because wealthy parents will push their children into the activities CMU is looking for and will know how to demonstrate interest. The counter to this argument is that wealthy parents will always be able to game an adversarial process. Parents will just push their children to study for the SAT more and pay more for SAT test prep. Parents will just push their children to work more on grades and classwork instead of things the children actually want to do like robotics or programming.

leopard colors and texture is what the network actually was looking for during training

Eh. The network is finding regular patterns. It doesn't know the difference between actual leopard parts and arbitrary noise in the image. The only reason we believe it's learning something about leopards is that we have fed the network lots of different kinds of leopards in lots of different contexts and positions.

But there are still some soft invariants that apply to images of leopards. These networks are complicated dynamical systems. Adding visual noise that is dissimilar to any kind of visual noise found naturally in leopard photos amounts to an input outside the normal operating range of the system. The effect of something like that, in general, is unpredictable. The fact that these examples exist shouldn't be that surprising. The fact that the output is quantized to one prediction or another only exacerbates the issue.

Is it because the network looks for the combination of certain parameters, and treats the exactness of a combination as the most important factor, more important than it's global context?

Probably. A CNN is an ensemble of many local representations.

So that the combination of the adversarially-modified pixels look like having the most exact ratios between each other, even though their ratios compared to the rest of the pixels is not on par at all - and the network decides that the most exact combination has the most information? Then, why isn't this easily combated by regularization and stuff like dropout?

Someone more knowledgeable than me can probably answer this. I'm not an expert in CNNs. But hopefully the rest is helpful.
