I was on a conference call with a bank that due to a number miscommunications and general idiocy was under the impression that they were possibly in violation of some banking laws (no comment on what laws) because they misinterpreted what exactly was happening. Their lawyers supposedly told them they were at risk for an unbelievable sum of fines and criminal stuff.

In short they saw some data they didn't understand that seemed to indicate things at the bank were very much not how they were thought to be, and indicated something very specific was happening. In reality that was not the case but a lot of assumptions by morons somehow were believed and everything snowballed into lots of corroborating "evidence" that seemed to indicate bad things. This was a bank that rarely had this level of stupid information and assumptions rise to the top so nobody actually questioned it no matter how absurd it seemed.

My presence on the call was purely because the bank wanted every vendor they had looking to see if they saw problems, so I was basically just poking around telling them what i saw from my end.

At one point on the call there was a dude in an unmanned data center literally just flipping off power switches and cutting the cables of various equipment as he was given the locations for it. It was frantic and very unamerican bank like (at least the ones I worked with were pretty cool customers normally). I turned my speakerphone on to let my coworkers listen to the chaos.

In the end, it was a stupid SQL server related virus thing that created some good old fashioned network disruption and when that was solved and nothing looked like the sky was falling, everyone came to their senses. Once the dude pulled the power to enough of them everything calmed down and I checked my bank account and it was all there... but no excess either :(
Bulldozers are used in fireline construction, but not in designated Wilderness areas. Wilderness restrictions were one example of why this is a bad idea, but they are not the only reason.
Partially this, partially the cost of buggy software rarely falling on those who actually make the software. It's pretty typical for software companies to disclaim all liability for the results of using their software and offer no warranty that the software they sell will work. Not a lot of other products can get away with such an absolute disclaimer of liability.

I think "functional reliability" of > 0.95 means that a failure of 1 in 20 to detonate could be acceptable, whereas "safety reliability" of > whatever refers to the chance of improper arming of a weapon. False negative vs. false positive, if you will.

While both could be catastrophic under some circumstances, it seems reasonable that you would expect "safety reliability" to be much higher because it's tested more often. Near the end of the document it talks about how safety reliability should be very high.

On a big freight ship like that do they usually operate at the shorter notice levels if they're not doing anything? That wouldn't seem to save a great deal.

I saw an old documentary following a big cargo ship who was anchored with others waiting to get in to the suez.

Another ship broke free of its anchor and was having trouble starting their engines and were drifting toward the ship in the documentary.

The captain was doing the math on how quickly they could start their engines to try to get out of the way and it would have to be an emergency start that they thought might result in damage.... particularly upsetting as this was their first voyage on a new ship, new engines... they didn't want to start them.

> Although reading this article I wonder how Nintendo handled the ARAM situation and the like on the Wii when playing GameCube games?

The hardware could choose to use the bottom 16MB of MEM3 as an ARAM equivalent. That was actually the source of one of the first attacks. That is putting tweezers on that RAM chip, shorting the address lines and accessing the high part if that RAM while in GameCube mode.
I don't think GP was talking about a scenario where the same engineer who created the bug fixed it and gets rewarded, rather one where a different engineer fixes it. Of course it wouldn't make sense as you describe it.
I mean, this is definitely my goto theory. Everything tied up in one single package.

But, unfortunately, just because we like something, doesn't mean it really went down that way. And rightfully so, a horde of nerds will come out of the woodwork, to inform us if we were to claim the validity of an event, without true evidence in hand.

Either way, it won't stop me from harboring a deep suspicion that this is exactly what happened.

In many countries it is nearly impossible to get citizenship without having citizen parents.

I'm not sure why you would want to give the children of those committing treason citizenship, it could be a future risk if said children enter the same path.

also, don't underestimate how much market research and focus group testing is involved. There's lots of customer feedback going on with "traditional" design, it's just done privately not publicly.

It's also not as good feedback - it's too easy to tell the focus group what to think. But done right, it can lead to the same place.
I agree – if the cloned/copied/othewise renewed consciousness is not that which is currently residing in my head right now, there’s really no point to it, no matter how much philosophically it might be “me”. The only situation I can envision a clone/copy being satisfactory is that in which I had some grand goal larger than myself that I wished to complete and could hand off to the clone.
If there are in fact traffic jams caused by "nothing at all", I would assume there is a critical density - in other words, everyone is following too closely. Did the article point that out and I missed it?

It's all related to marketing. Someone got smart and learned that consumers don't like iterations of major wireless stuff.

True- so if you lived in a zone with negative price, then you would throttle your GPUs otherwise and only go full throttle when you literal get paid to use the power. But duty cycle just for that would be low... I would need to look more at the stats. But if full time operation on average over the year was closer to (or less than) $0 for power usage, could you net a profit over the life cycle? I would surely hope so!

That's about being a Professional Engineer, which legally entitles you to certain actions (e.g. sign off on design docs). Anyone can call themselves engineers of any kind as long as they don't pretend to be P.Engs.
I am not sure though that being P.Engs in software means anything in practice, unlike in e.g. structural engineering.

If a "spy" has a child in Canada who would not be a citizen but for where they are born, that implies the parent cannot be guilty of treason against Canada as they are not Canadian.

Also, as a counterpoint, applying penalties for crimes to the descendants of an offender has become unfashionable in some circles. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attainder

That is, in fact, how the law works in Canada, the US, and many other countries in the Western hemisphere. There is a narrow exception for embassy and consular employees which the government thought should apply to spies but which the court has overturned. It's an edge case that is not clear cut either way.

I don't think it is right to punish the children (stripping them of their birthright citizenship) on the basis of the crimes of their parents (espionage), particularly when said children spent most of their childhoods in Canada.
And yet it doesn’t appear in the thread any more. That is the very definition of removed.
Hahahaha. So I feel something and suddenly someone else has the job of kissing me and making me feel all better? Right.
That's not the governments argument. Canada does not grant citizenship to children born to foreign diplomats working in Canada. The argument is that since spies are working for a foreign government, their children also do not qualify for citizenship.

That's a very clear, easy to understand rule. It makes perfect sense. The only question is if a rule that applies to foreign diplomats can also apply to spies.
From what I understand, the task of their toy experiment is to identify multiple objects in an image. This can be easily solved by simple computer vision algorithms.

The proper solution can be implemented as following. Firstly either using sliding window or selective search like algorithm to generate potential object targets, secondly using trained object models on these targets.

In my opinion, it seems that the researchers didn't know how to use cnn.

I met up with a pro TV writer I know and he said he was so happy the season was over because he could finally go to a mattress store and buy a new mattress. He said he didn't have time to do it for the last X months.

Basically being a TV writer is like working in video games; there's another person right behind you who would love to have your job because of the perceived glamor so terrible conditions persist.
While it's not terribly uncommon for small hobby machines to depend on software limits I can't think of a single instance in my years of maintaining "real" production CNC machines of encountering a machine that didn't also include hard limits.

Limit switches typically include two trip points. The first is monitored by the control system; when it is tripped the control halts execution and stops the machine. The second limit is wired directly to the servo amplifier so that, if for what ever reason, the control fails to halt the machine when the soft limit is tripped power is removed and motion is halted. Both limits are fail-safe such that if they were to become disconnected it would result in a limit exceeded condition.

It’s funny that we often phrase forest fires as some ecological disaster, when in reality they are a normal and healthy part of a forest. I fact, some seeds won’t even germinate until they’ve been roasted by a forest fire [1].

It’s only now that we live all around and inside them that it’s become our problem.

Revoking citizenship is not a penalty.

Most countries do not grant jus soli rights, and several grant it only with significant restrictions. This is not a universal human right. Canada has a right to set restrictions on jus soli rights.

Canada already does not grant citizenship to children born to foreign diplomats working in Canada. Spies are working for a foreign government, just not declaring it.

The defense in this case is not arguing that canada's law is illegal.. just that the law specifically says diplomats, and spies aren't diplomats.

It's not clear that simply not declaring your employer makes you immune from the law anymore than not declaring your income makes you immune from taxes.

Conspiracy isn’t an ideology.

Good riddance.

Some of the absolute best television shows I have ever seen have all been planned and executed by a single script writer with a vision and an idea for a single story spanning over X seasons.

And the absolute best tv series I have ever seen didn't even bother with standard length episodes, they vary between 15 and 45 minutes depending on the content that needs to go into the episode that week. Turns out that if you get rid of filler B-plots or C-plots, the entire series becomes much better.

> it is concern about glyphosate that is primarily driving fear of GMOs.

In my experience the two most common anti-GMO arguments that I hear are: A) that GMOs can be patented, which creates IP problems when they spread, and B) that somehow human-designed species might be less safe than natural ones due to unintended health consequences of the modifications (not really sure the rationale for that one.)
> freedom of speech only applies to governmental entities

You are confusing laws (like 1st amendment of the US Constitution) with freedom of speech. Laws exist because freedom of speech is important, not the other way around. The fact that laws only restrict the government from suppressing freedom of speech doesn't mean it is not important in other contexts, just because there's no law enforcing it.

> nothing can compel me to listen

Banning someone from the internet (or any part of Internet that is serviced by a major corporation, which is almost all of it) is not the same as "I do not want to listen", it's "I don't like you so nobody gets to listen to you, at least not without extraordinary effort which 99.999% of people are not capable of". If you just don't want to listen to somebody on youtube, it's enough to not go to that channel. Removing the whole channel goes way beyond that and the only purpose of that to silence, not to "not listen" but to cause others not to listen.

I agreed with that until I found some people on HN who thought PizzaGate was a real thing. Even then I was open to the idea, but when someone turned up with a gun at Comet Pizza and started shooting I decided individual decisions about conspiracy theories are insufficient.

The big problem is that there is no valid counter argument to conspiracy theorist. That means all conventional means of combating them are useless.
Ironically I’ve heard this same argument used to justify a negative reaction to everything from gay people, to women in a niqab. Maybe the issue is that having a “valid feeling” is like having an asshole? Yes, it’s real, yes we all have them, but so what? An irrational fear of a black teenager, however valid the state of being irrationally afraid may be deemed to be, is still no one’s problem except for the person who is afraid. The same can be said in this case.

I'd presume if they know you're a spy then you're failing at spying, right? But if you don't already know that they know (otherwise you probably wouldn't stick around?) then your poor kid now has no idea if he's a citizen or not. So this would mean that you could have a kid that grows up thinking he's a citizen, and being treated as he is, but who suddenly finds out he's not. That would suck for the kid. Do they imagine that will work out somehow?

You're misinformed; Canada is so loose, it actually has a "birth tourism" problem. Pregnant women come from Canada from other countries as mere visitors in order to deliver here, so that it can be Canadian and enjoy perks like much cheaper university tuition down the line. Sometimes these women rack up big hospital bills which are left unpaid.

The fact that we are even debating whether the offspring of foreign enemies of the state should be citizens shows you how bad the problem is. "Should not be" means "now actually are".

We should clamp down on all this nonsense and retroactively take away these drummed-up citizenships away going back at least 20-30 years.
Technically the government might have a point.

From a human perspective: so what? They are victims of their parents, the only life they know is Canadian. It seems morally wrong to deny them.

This seems like one of those easy cases: rule they aren’t citizens but grant them citizenship under humanitarian grounds anyway.
Is the information correct or incorrect? I’m not a massive fan boy if such kind of topics either. Often the crazy ones tell us research things that we often bypass.

This is one of those times. I don’t agree with their messaging, but Alex Jones should be allowed. Again I completely whole heartily disagree with him, but we can’t be selective in this area.

We’ve kind of validated him to some degree and made him much much bigger than before.

There is a class of people who feel like they aren’t being heard or lied too. Yet we often use tactics to discredit them.

I think this only embolden them. We can even discuss things, without doing the mental laziness of saying. I don’t wanna look at your source, because it’s x.

Within universities, you can’t use one source, why would you think it’s ok now?

You need supporting claims, if you disagree, than support it.. stop being mentally lazy.
