Lazy man's pizza dough:

Two to four cups of bread flour.

1/2 cup wheat flour if you have it.

Teaspoon of sugar.

Teaspoon salt.

Tablespoon of yeast.

Mix the dry ingredients in a Cuisenart, or by hand in a bowl.

Add a few drizzles of olive oil.

Add couple of cups of 110 (where's the degree symbol on an iPad?) warm water.

Let the Cuisinart do the kneeding. Adjust the water. The dough should look like dough? Don't overthink it. I have found it practically impossible to break a Cuisenart. Yes--the little machine will be shaking. Mix a minute, or until you feel it looks like dough. (Cuisenarts do have a circuit breaker, but I've only triped it once. Don't want to push my luck. It's internal.)

Put the dough in a plastic bag, and drizzle more olive oil in the bad. (The oil keeps the dough from sticking).

Let it rise for an hour, and smack it down. After a few hours, it's ready.

I roll it out with a wine bottle.

I usually don't make pizza, but the dough is great for healthy Calzones.

Healthy Calzone recipe:

I raid the vegetable bin in the fridge. I sauté onions, carrots, Celery, and greens, etc. in a bit of olive oil.
Frozen vegatables are great too

I add a handful of meat for flavor. A little cheese makes it taste better. Cheese makes everything taste better?

I dump the concoction on the dough, and wrap carefully.

It's nice to have parchment paper to work with. I'm so cheap, I thought about using an old paper bag, but Fahrenheit 451 was on, and a bell went off in my head.

Cook the concoction in a preheated 460 degree oven for 9 minutes. Keep a metal cup with water in the oven. It humidifies the oven, and the dough supposedly looks better?

Food for two days.

As a taxpayer in Japan, I want the government to stop worrying about this inefficient calendar system and fully adopt the Western calendar everywhere.

That said, I read the people's justifications are similar to those who favor the Fahrenheit system in the US. They say the scale is close to their everyday feel (under the current system, each era is roughly equivalent to one's lifespan) than 4-digit numbers, and therefore more "human". Their emotional attachment defies rationality.
That's literally the second option I describe. What is your point?

The article mentions training, specifically on-the-job training (being paired with a senior agent) and schedules that don't result in being sleep-deficient while on duty.

The "tools" here are metaphorical, in case that was your concern. It almost always means training and seems to be particularly relevant in the context of public safety.

I’m only familiar with speeding up Parquet - it looks like you’re mainly sorting or partitioning the data into different views so that you can choose the best view format at runtime based on your desired query or aggregation? We’ve seen this increase speeds by many orders of magnitude, so I wouldn’t be surprised that this creates meaningful speed-ups when done automatically (Which is cool!).

Random aside, how do you handle the consistency problems that can occur when you have multiple views when doing deletes?
Two things that are missing from the article:

1) because of this problem, the government is considering keeping Heisei for a while after the emperor steps down https://minhan.jp/4599 (in Japanese)

2) the Japanese calendar (specifically the year) is used in some official documents and formalities, but in daily life people mostly use the Gregorian calendar. If you ask a bunch of Japanese people what Heisei year is now, I bet a significant percentage of them won't remember. I've worked as a software engineer in Japan for over 10 years and I've never had to deal with Japanese calendar years.

I am not convinced he really changed the market's desire for EVs. He made a halo car, and now he is selling the baby version for Average Joe. I think the success of the Model 3 has a lot more to do with the brand than it does with it being an EV.

A New Angle on L2 Regularization
Exactly this. I drive a Chevy Spark EV, which is based on the worlds least exciting car ... and it’s brilliant! I would never buy another gas car, they just don’t drive well. And yet we hear all this dribble about panel gaps and the stitching on the seat leather. I never knew there were so many so willing to look so silly in public.
If you think that’s bad, look at building concessions to special-use buildings, like elder care facilities.

Though I did not have a hand in this, as I don’t live there anymore, my old neighborhood successfully blocked the city from allowing developers to build a building that would allocate less than 100sqft of total (not living!) space per the elder person being cared at the facility. Bunk beds and all. Essentially a distopian hellhole.

Now, 3 story townhomes with reasonable sqft going up. Smaller spacing than I would personally want, but it’s A) housing and B) livable for a family, so it’s a win in my book.

If only Santa Monica would average 3 stories...

There’s also option 4, which I would say is most likely; Tesla is gone; the brand is owned by someone else. In practice, 1 and 2 would likely lead to this scenario.
“Suppose you’re on a game show, and you’re given the choice of three doors: Behind one door is a car; behind the others, goats. You pick a door, say No. 1, and the host, who knows what’s behind the doors, opens another door, say No. 3, which has a goat. He then says to you, ‘Do you want to pick door No. 2?’ Is it to your advantage to switch your choice?”

Let A be the event that the car is behind door 1, B that the car is behind door 2, and C that the car is behind door 3. Let E be the event that the host opens door 3. We assume that the car is initially equally likely to be behind each door and that the host opens a door with a goat at random, never opening the door we picked.

Since A, B, and C are exhaustive and mutually exhaustive propositions, we can calculate the marginal probability of E by using the law of total probability:

P(E) = P(E ∧ A) + P(E ∧ B) + P(E ∧ C).

Bayesians like to define joint probability from conditional probability instead of the reverse; that is, define P(A ∧ B) as P(A | B) P(B) instead of P(A | B) as P(A ∧ B) / P(B).

So P(E ∧ A) = P(E | A) P(A). P(E | A) is 1/2 because we picked door 1, the car is behind door 1, and the host chooses at random a door that has a goat, of which there are two: 2 and 3. P(A) is 1/3. Therefore P(E ∧ A) is 1/2 × 1/3 = 1/6.

Similarly, P(E ∧ B) = P(E | B) P(B). P(E | B) is 1 because we picked door 1 so the host will not open door 1 and we assume the car is behind door 2 so the host will not open door 2, leaving only door 3 to be opened. P(B) is 1/3. Therefore P(E ∧ B) is 1 × 1/3 = 1/3.

P(E ∧ C) = P(E | C) P(C). P(E | C) is 0 because the host will never open the door the car is behind. P(C) is 1/3. Therefore P(E ∧ C) is 0 × 1/3 = 0.

So P(E) = 1/6 + 1/3 + 0 = 1/2. We know that the host opened door 3 (this is E), so the car cannot be behind door 3. How likely is it to be behind door 1? By Bayes’ theorem,

P(A | E) = P(E | A) P(A) / P(E).

We said earlier that P(E | A) is 1/2, P(A) is 1/3, and P(E) is 1/2. So P(A | E) = (1/2 × 1/3) / (1/2) = 1/3.

Given E, the car must be behind door 1 or door 2 since the host opened door 3. Therefore the sum of P(A | E) and P(B | E) must be 1. P(A | E) is 1/3, so P(B | E) is 2/3. The car is more likely to be behind door 2 than door 1. We initially picked door 1, so, if we want the car, we should switch.
from my own experience, this is the exception, though. even in CS, if you pick some of the more theoretical problems or a not-so-hot area, you might not get funding - (almost) no matter how good you are. and that's CS. move to other subjects like sociology, linguistics, history, and you will find that barely anyone gets funded.
> Src IP is not actually neccessary, in the IP layer.

I like your thoughts, but I don't understand how it would have helped in the Hacker-Verizon-Stingray case.

First, an analogy: Suppose no one ever wrote a return address on postal letters. People wrote only the destination. The recipient has to open the envelope to see who wrote the letter. The postal system still works and it's way more private. However, if the authorities are watching your particular mailbox at your house, copying the outside of every incoming and outgoing letter, what privacy have you gained? They still know who you wrote to and who replied.

Now back to the Hacker-Verizon-Stingray case: When the hacker connects to Verizon, his phone must identify him as a Verizon customer at some protocol layer. The identifying info could be IMEI, IMSI, or Verizon account number. Otherwise anyone could use Verizon for free if there were no account. Likewise, when Verizon transmits info back to the hacker, Verizon has to know which cellphone it should go to, or at least which cell tower.

In your design, the outbound packets from hacker to Verizon contain cleartext destination IP, but the src IP is encrypted. Fine, but then the Stingray finds the Verizon account number associated with that connection -- that info being available at some protocol layer. The Stingray then watches for any connections from Verizon back to the hacker that use the same Verizon account number. The Stingray thus collects both sides of the connection just as before. Am I missing something?
I wish when my models had low predictive value I could just claim the underlying process was inherently unpredictable! From reading the abstract, it sounds like the study just established that the authors can't accurately predict annual mortality using Medicare claims data.

It's erroneous to claim that the 25% of spending in last year of life is all futile care, but this study doesn't quantify how much is or isn't futile care.

Maybe I'm totally wrong, but I'll never know thanks to that paywall.

I assume it was edited in. But to be clear to future readers, the bracketed link in grandparent links to a tweet proving they did.

A more direct link to where they admit it (and publicly try to fix the mistake) is this: https://twitter.com/perezbox/status/1011708133960536064

They don't admit to a general pattern of mistakes like this there, they do say they will use this "as a learning opportunity for all our agents. Whether that is because this was genuinely a one off or because this is the only publicized example is unclear.
I've noticed that over the last few years it's become increasingly difficult to do things with US based services (especially banking) if you are outside of the US. And this goes double if you are a US citizen with no ties to the States other than citizenship. Americans as a general rule have never been terribly adept at anything international; banking, languages, or even base geography. We have offices in Cambodia and Laos and I have been told by more than one US based-service/company that Laos is not a real country. I suppose they think the .la domain stands for Los Angeles :) We are looking to set up an office in Hong Kong or Singapore and use that to deal with Western countries. But we're a small not-for-profit operation and HK and Singapore are EXPENSIVE.

Unsplash also changed from their CC0 license on photos last year: https://medium.com/@UserRoadmap/unsplash-is-no-longer-under-...

It's still a liberal/free license but they're now using a custom license under their control and have also accepted 7.25M funding round so they could also become hostile in future. For this reason I'm hesitant to rely on their APIs and only maintain and use offline copies of photos I like.
Let me repeat my question: what have been your past predictions about Musk's projects, and have they been right or wrong.
Aren't there bad things already encoded in the block chain, I thought I read that? How would a court order on an international open source software base be affected? You could order people in the us under court threat to alter the block chain to remove that information. People in other countries could have confusing legal implications. We already have this with us companies who stored info in other countries so the us govt would have a difficult time compelling them to give up info.
They also import Manitoba flour in Italy to make pizza. High gluten is a must or it will just fall apart if it is the right thickness / cooked correctly. 90 seconds is faster than usual, but yes it is cooked fast. Neapolitan in Italy means thicker crust than other regions, but you are probably right that is what you are eating. Outside of Italy I am not sure many people would be able to recognize the difference.
New Zealand is an interesting example, as NZ and Australia essentially have freedom of movement. Australia is a higher income nation than New Zealand, with ~25% higher GDP per capita.

There are 650,000 NZ citizens in Australia, which is about 15% of the population of NZ. New Zealand has the second highest proportion of natural born citizens living abroad in the world, after Ireland [1].

The only reason that this arrangement works well is that New Zealand has a small population compared to Australia (5 million vs 25 million). If Australia had a lower income than New Zealand and 15% of Australians came to New Zealand, it would be chaos.

New Zealand also has a large Polynesian population (but not freedom of movement). Once again, this arrangement works because the Pacific Island nations have a much smaller population than New Zealand.

If you opened up immigration from India to the USA, you wouldn't see such a beneficial relationship, as there are 3 times as many people in India than the USA.

I have mixed feelings about all of this. The big philosophical divide is really around what you think a cert/https should mean.

The one side (I'm summarizing here) says that HTTPS only means that the data transferred over the wire is secure and has nothing to do with authenticating that you're actually talking to the correct website. And that's correct, there are all sorts of MITM attacks, etc. that could be done and people shouldn't automatically trust that seeing a green lock means it's safe to put their password into a website. And that's correct.

The other side says: nothing is 100% secure and security is all about defense in depth and these EV certs can be really helpful. Consider the Washington Post:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/

There is a whole cottage industry of unscrupulous advertisers who make their living off of scraping the look and feel of websites like the WashingtonPost, setting up a URL like washingtonpostnews.com and then making up a fake story about how the Rock was arrested because he had some special muscle growing formula on him that oh look they have a link to buy for only $15/mo.

It's quite unlikely that an EV cert would be issued for washingtonpostnews.com and it doesn't seem crazy to think that there is some value in having the EV cert on the proper www.washingtonpost.com website.

They'll also point out that even DV cert issuance pre LetsEncrypt was a mixed bag of good and bad. Some CA's wouldn't issue you a cert if it had certain habitually abused trademark names, etc. in it. You'd have to do more than just have an email address or a DNS entry for it. This is for terms like BMW, Tesla, Facebook, etc. and this practice legitimately tripped up (but likely didn't stop) a metric ton of phishing sites.

I think LetsEncrypt is awesome and makes a ton of sense and probably has made the internet safer in general. But the general response to things like LetsEncrypt issuing upwards of 15,000 different certs for domains containing "paypal" [1] is that you should rely upon sending your browsing information to Google, Microsoft, etc. so that they can tell you "Warning this is a possible Phishing Site" [2] which worryingly seems like we've then replaced multiple CAs (which we thought were too centralized) with an even fewer number of browser vendors (which are even more centralized).

>if Tesla fails, because Tesla will then serve as an example of why electric cars will never work, and from that point it will be 10x harder to create an EV startup

Except that during the last two years all the major car companies have started big EV programs, and in China, the world's largest car market, the government has gone all-in on pushing EV's. So no matter what happens with Tesla, EV's are here to stay. In fact the experts say that when batteries get cheap enough around 2025, the whole market is going to swing in their favor.
