The type of passwords you're referencing can't actually be used to steal your money, as they only control access to reversible accounts. Timely monitoring of your banks' ledgers is far more important than securing passwords. (Though passwords leaking will certainly cause a headache!)

Meanwhile, behavioral surveillance most certainly can be used to steal your money eg the pricing games that airlines and insurance companies commonly play, tailored to the individual level. Slowly accumulating a savings account named for some elective goal, someone dies across the country, and you need to get there in a day? Time to jack your airline prices. You'd hope age-old market competition would preclude this, but communications tech has been undermining that as well.

Just reread all 3 articles. The first and third don't have a timeline, but posit that it will occur after the Model 3 has begun sales, so 2019. Seeking Alpha says Tesla is on track for bankruptcy, and posits that it might be by the end of the year (i.e., 12 months from the date of the article) but is otherwise anticipated for 2019 based on the numerous cash flow models in the article (assuming no stock offering or new debt issuance).

In other words: 3 months ago no one was saying Tesla would be bankrupt by August/September.

And here's the thing: if Musk was truly honest about Tesla not seeking financing or offering new stock in 2018, they are on track for bankruptcy by the end of the year based on currently available investor documents re expense, cash flow, assets, etc.. If those documents are wrong, it's incumbent on Tesla to update them, not on the rest of us to assume voodoo financial magic will save the day.

Yeah, quite a bit must have changed or more likely evolved through the years, so a lot of the pseudocode and algorithms have been modified or added for instance, topics on dynamic programming, memoization and the like have had more emphasis. Several revisions to examples in basic tree algorithms and additions of some too have arisen. You could consider brushing up on a few things as a casual read perhaps, especially on the new topics. Also, another book I found great was Skiena's Algorithm Design manual.

Yes, that's simplifying the problem by making assumptions about the data. Except you often don't know what assumptions you can make. Better to check the assumptions using the data before devising an algorithm for the given type of data.

I would argue enums are less complex and easier to use. Imagine we were talking about a date field instead which is more complex?

A products table with a column called date (of type date)

Or a products table with a date_id column and a dates table with the columns date_id, date_year, date_month, date_day

Sure the second option may seem more relational but it is more complex. It allows you to do more relational things later if you want to attach things to a date like an is_holiday or a was_raining column.

So the question is, is there any value in adding the extra complexity now? If you foresee having to add more information to a status in a relational way like an is_active column then maybe a joined table is better.

Isn't that basically just syntactic sugar for #1? When you create an enum, it creates entries in a table with numeric values for enumsortorder and a string field for enumlabel. It seems like effectively the same thing.

edit: It is different, as all enum values are rows in the same table and there is a third column to identify which type they belong to. The actual key used to refer to an enum value is not in the table; it's the oid of the table entry. So, I guess retrieving the data from the enum table is technically not a join.
Bang on. Other people are definitely a moderating force towards what they collectively believe to be reasonable. Sometimes that's something like "no murder". Other times its "those with the wrong skin color are subhuman".

Sorry to be unaware, but what were/are they hoping or expecting to discover with these experiments, that is other than find new subatomic particles. I mean, they did find a whole set of subatomic particles and their respective spins, so no reason why they couldn't find something more. I know it's all for recreating the scene of the big bang or whatever theory that they hope to prove or disprove or figure out a new one.

I do know of the Standard Model and Beyond the Standard Model types but it really seems to boil down to discovering new theories perhaps. That could also be uncertain as a new model could ally with QM or not, again I don't know if the current Standard Model allies well with QM. I think it doesn't again ally well with GR which is the same problem with QM and GR. It's funny though how they all behave.

I find this cool as well. I felt (not thought - I’m talking about gut reaction) that the robot was aware just when looking at the video. I suspect the feeling would be magnified when interacting directly.

It’s not just the robotics, although I think I interpret a video of a real object differently than a 3D animation.

It’s that the device by mirroring a human through sensing and software can trigger my human brain’s mirror neurons to emotionally engage with the robot as if it were another sentient being.

My sentience detection has been hacked. Fascinating.
I think it is interesting to consider that whenever their is a cultural shift in opinion, if you were to chart the populations opinion over time, it would look like a bell curve sliding in the direction of an axis.

To what extent are 'extreme' long-tail opinions necessary to shift the center of the bell curve? Which cohorts along the curve have the most influence on velocity of the center point?

specific to this example:

Premise

- Equal treatment of the sexes is a noble goal.

- Currently society values women as less to some extent.

- An inversion of sexism that places women over men would also be undesirable.

- When people fight for a position, they often compromise to achieve progress.

Conclusion:

- Fighting for equality can only asymptotically approach equality, while never reaching it.

- The 'extreme' viewpoints on the long-tail of cultural opinion that women should receive not just equal treatment but unequal benefit from society may be a fundamental requirement for the centroid of the population curve to reach the equality point.

I'm not convinced of this idea (or even all the premises), but I think it's interesting. Wondering if anyone could suggest further reading on this subject.

America is developing in exactly the way the systems we like to use dictate they should grow.

Here it is a transportation issue--in the opposite way you might think. Older towns in the mid-west are spaced apart roughly 6-miles because you would only be able to travel by horse about 20-miles in a day. Naturally, you would want to be able to do "things" in the next town so you don't travel the entire day just to turn around and go back home. So, towns spread out about 6-miles and slowly grow. Bigger towns grew faster and smaller towns stayed the way they are. Bring in interstates and railroads and suddenly some towns, if they had nothing "going for them" never grow again or shrink--they're completely bypassed.

People leave town for the opportunities, so opportunities have little need for these towns except for the occasional externality: e.g. a massive chicken processing or pet-food rendering plant no one wants to live near.

I have a running hypothesis on human behavior: people form self-serving opinions first and foremost, then scrounge around for the supporting evidence afterwards.

It is so hard for adults to admit they are wrong. Even harder if someone has been advocating for their own side at length. To change opinions, they need to have some acceptable exit strategy (e.g. "company A doesn't make vaccines with dangerous component X anymore, vaccines are safe now thank goodness!").

Are you applying for full-time positions in the US and Canada from outside those countries without a visa? Companies take a risk in the visa process, e.g. they have to proof to the government (DHS, can't remember) they found nobody equally qualified in their own country, it's a time-consuming and expensive process.

"Am considering taking Tesla private at $420. Funding secured."

The first half suggests that he might go through with the transaction of taking Tesla private, meaning, acquiring sufficient stock for cash that it falls below the SEC reporting thresholds and delisting it from stock exchanges.

The second half of the statement states that, whatever he decides, he has already lined up the funding necessary to carry out contemplated action in the first statement.

People don't interpret the "funding secured" to mean that he has a going-private deal locked up. They do interpret it to mean that he has locked up whatever financing he would need to go private, were he to choose to do so. And the problem is that his follow-up blog post, tweets, and Tesla statements indicate that neither the going-private transaction, or the funding for such a transaction, has been finalized--or even has progressed to the point of concrete terms being discussed.

While I get that calendar tables are fun and all, if you have a date type you can just add a “holidays” table for that if you need it later, without a table of all dates.

These experiments typically run 9 months out of the year with (very roughly) 50% up time. That's (again, very roughly ) 25,000,000 seconds. That's 250000 petabytes a year [0]. And by "raw" I'm talking about the ADC signals from the detector hardware. For example, the readout from the 75 megapixel "camera" (i.e. the tracker) at the core of the detector that takes 40 million pictures a second. When doing analysis the collisions are reconstructed into "events" where all the ADC signals are combined to form particle tracks and energy deposits (allowing us to actually study the physics behind the high energy interactions). These reconstruction algorithms are very complex and statistical in nature so there is some bias associated with them, hence the reason the "raw" data is permanently saved along with the reconstructed data.

Compression is most definitely used for the data that is actually saved to disk but it is not done on the fly when trigger systems have to run in nanoseconds.

The data limitations are not really from a lack of foresight or proper budgeting. It was known decades ago how much data would be produced by the LHC, it just really is an insane amount of data.

[0] after applying triggers (i.e. filtering) only a few hundred petabytes of data is stored in a given year from the CMS detector.

There is a huge network cost towards doing this. The centralised platforms by definition will push us closer towards the mean (as the mean is most profitable) at the expense of the outlier.

This means that you'll have a higher quality median (note, not mean) experience at the cost of experiencing any true outliers. The best way it's been put to me is the follows:

* (AI/ML/Algorithmic Recommendation) = 8/10 products you will like, none you'll love or hate

"Stop falling into the trap of believing that the people actually doing the labor are not contributing, or do not have value."

That is not what pathseeker said. You said (and pathseeker agreed) that the network is only valuable because there are people in it to do the labor. Pathseeker also said that having people willing and able to do the work is only valuable with a network to organize them and connect them to the people who need work done. You're both right. The people and the network are both contributing, and they both have value. Neither would be valuable on its own.
