Back pain is a symptom in itself. Maybe a disk has been shifted, or it's caused by a kidney infection. Maybe it's just muscle pain or sciatica related. Hell, for all we know, the back pain is caused by the chair in question. Without proper examination you can't rule these things out and make a professional recommendation as to what to do about it other than "go see an expert or general practitioner".

By phrasing the recommendation the way he did he made sure that it is understood that a) he is treating the patient for an unrelated issue, b) he isn't in a position to diagnose back related problems and c) he never examined the patient's back problems.

It does solve that pain.

But it doesn't solve the "A dependency of a dependency has a massive security hole in it, and there's a patched version which has just been released" pain.

Which I'd argue is more important.

There's something over-the-top obscene about this. These would be $10K-$20K tickets, for one thing. And damn, the CO2 emissions. Less than two hops, for sure, but still. Basically, if you're traveling that far, you ought to be staying at least a month. And if you're staying at least a month, it doesn't matter that there are three hops with layovers.
Couldn't a browser do that without necessarily revealing the list of fonts?

if (!isFontAvailable(font)) {
downloadFont(font);
}

It's not like a tracking script is going to try to iterate over every single existing font out in the wild for finger printing purposes. Doing so would be too easy to detect and block at the browser level. In the meanwhile, a script can get the list of fonts directly.
Even 'someone to trade with' is a limited viewpoint, a set of blinders in its own right. That said, agreed with the rest of it.

Identity runs deep - this is an amazing story - and shows how much we still need to discover about identity. As a white person, born in Africa, issues of identity loom large, and (in a way) it is a privilege to be exposed to many identity struggles play out day-to-day. An example that I have experienced is how strongly people retain certain African cultural characteristics in other lands (America, Europe, Asia), even when they are from families that have been in those countries for hundreds of years, and even when they probably feel fully assimilated. I don't think we really fully understand how culture passes down through generations, whether this is through stories, language, biology. Whatever drives it, it is a beautiful feature of being human.

The java bug (https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8203864) has some more information on the history, including a reference to an earlier paper from 2015 relating to the same problem.

Apparently, the earlier paper had an error, so the implemented fix was not complete.

Still intriguing, though!
Interested people just opt in.
You can make the average-case perform in O(n^2) by always pivoting on the smallest number in the array. Nobody would do _that_, but it shows that pivot choice can affect complexity.

Ergo, computer scientists researching the algorithm mathematically must consider the effect of choice of pivot.

Pick up any modern pop record. Some are worse than others, but all are auto tuned.

Just Google worst auto-tune for examples, because it's so common now, most people don't notice it. Here's a list of some examples:

Also, if you're not really musical you might have a hard time picking it out. I found that as soon as I learnt an instrument, songs suddenly became layered and I could pick out and distinguish different instruments, and notice mistakes.
Why not just put less trust in video?

The courts should know that videos can be doctored, just as images can be photoshopped.

As the burden of proof lies with the accuser, it is they that would need a bullet proof argument that you did in face do what the video claims you did – and video is not alone in and of itself to establish truth.

As for the data gathering: the existence of the proposed data presents a threat for the subjects (and society) in and of itself.

"Anonymized" always deserves scare quotes, because there ain't such thing as "anonymized"; there's only "anonymized until correlated with other data sets".

Anyway. Yes, I do trust that of all parties, Google actually would both develop and deploy whatever that "double-blind encryption technology" is. Still, it's not the problem.

I think we need to stop dancing around the real issue with all that talk about PII. No, I really don't care about my PII just leaking somewhere. I care about what people do with them. It's what companies do with PII, "anonymized" or not, that's the problem. Advertising, upselling, price discrimination. Those are the real problems.

That's why all the hype about DL is so irritating. Yes, it allowed us to make enormous progress in certain fields. No, it's nowhere near usable in others. So why pretend it is?

Just one example from the preface to Chollet's "Deep Learning with Python":

> If you’ve picked up this book, you’re probably aware of the extraordinary progress that deep learning has represented for the field of artificial intelligence in the recent past. In a mere five years, we’ve gone from near-unusable image recognition and speech transcription, to superhuman performance on these tasks.

Come on, speech to text is still far from usable unless in a very limited scenarios. Why pretend it's different?
There are heuristics — and they improve from version to version — but they're necessarily conservative: heap allocating something which doesn't escape is a performance hit, stack-allocating something which does breaks software.

IIRC you can't really flag an object as normally escaping so it would be very noisy.
The analogy would be appropriate if the poster compared scooter sharing services with car sharing services. Note that car sharing services are pretty regulated - you can't just dump cars onto the road and create an app. You have to get a permit first.

There's also a difference between people who own their own scooters vs heavily VC funded firms who want to dump as many of their scooters onto the streets as possible to target high growth. An individual owner has the incentive to keep their vehicle off the streets since otherwise people can easily steal them. This is not the same as these large firms, who have GPS trackers on each scooter. Plus, each scooter is so cheaply made that a loss is not majorly important since they have a ton of money in the bank -- each scooter is peanuts compared to the salaries of their software engineers. Individual scooter owners are much more price sensitive and generally tend not to throw their scooter onto the streets.

I think another argument is one of public space. The sidewalk is a public space that I pay taxes to maintain. Why should a low-revenue growth-hacking startup be allowed to use the public space -- which SF citizens pay to maintain -- for free? I'm a pretty staunch capitalist, but this seems like a "privatize the gains, socialize the losses" scenario.

I would be okay if either 1) startups who wanted to deploy scooters faced heavy taxes for certain violations or 2) they proposed concrete plans to explain how they will not clutter sidewalks. The San Francisco government seems to be doing the latter.

TLDR: Incentives are different between individuals and VC funded firms. Also, don't use public spaces to growth-hack your startup. Or if you do, either 1) respect other people who use them or 2) pay fines / more taxes to compensate the city for extra upkeep costs and to compensate other citizens for inconvenience.

The "learn+fuzz" part seems to always produce weird results due to my navigational habits, so I have a zero-dependency very short {ba,z}sh function that allows me to jump to preset locations (kd for "quicK Dir" or "worK Dir"):

$ cd ~/go/src/github.com/my/project
$ kd awesome_project $PWD # create bookmark

Then, anywhere:

$ kd aw # BAM
$ # yay, straight to my project!

Also, if I'm in a project with a "root", like a Makefile, Gemfile, or anything:

$ cd app/controllers/whatever/deeply/nested
$ kd # back to the project root!
$ make

I'll probably integrate it with fzf some day but for now the "prefix thing+match last entry" works well enough.

another major part of the problem is the entitled, defocused employee culture in silicon valley. generated by the fact that crazy talent competition ensures employees have a huge safety net in the form of big tech.

i raise capital in silicon valley. but i do not want to hire people there.

i hire amazing engineers in russia at a fraction of the cost and they:
- are loyal instead of jumping to new shiny stuff at every opportunity.
- have skin in the game
- are focused on building products and not on things like "we need to hire more female engineers even though none are applying."

and lifestyle-wise the bay area is just unpleasant. aggressive homeless people. abysmal dating environment. awful traffic.

and of course the costs, taxes etc. top it all off.

that being said in terms of concentration of smart people that one can connect with at a moment's notice, and in terms of fundraising, the Bay Area is absolutely unparalleled.

my conclusion is to spend couple months a year there but live and hire elsewhere.
There's a difference between using it deliberately and using it because the singer can't sing.

Bear in mind that this makes you an pretty expendable employee

Reality suggests the opposite. They're having OP hang around doing nothing for fear of being without them at some unknown point. If they're an expendable employee, what is management waiting for? They're literally throwing money down a hole.

There is a thing that I don't understand from the original article[1]:

> The ruling class has figured out that a happy and productive population with free time on their hands is a mortal danger. And, on the other hand, the feeling that work is a moral value in itself, and that anyone not willing to submit themselves to some kind of intense work discipline for most of their waking hours deserves nothing, is extraordinarily convenient for them.

Does the author really mean that if you don't work you still deserve something in return? That one kinda sounds like bullshit. Has that been expanded upon somewhere?

Also, the author mentions that this was already attempted during the 60s and that it ended in a disaster but doesn't tell what that was. I am not from America, so I don't really know the history of the country during the 60s. What happened?

The issue is individual tracking vs aggregate tracking. Tech companies now a days are starting to target individuals based on their individual patterns. This is quite a bit different than aggregate tracking based on group trends. For instance if you see a link to a Credence Clear Water video after watching a video of Under the Watchtower, it makes a lot of sense. On the other hand if you see a link to a lecture from Leonard Susskind -- then that's going to be exclusively the result of personalized tracking and it feels invasive.

And the example I'm giving there is the most completely innocuous possibility there is. This gets much worse when, for instance, politicians will (and to some degree already are) creat[ing] multiple mutually incompatible versions of themselves to sell to different demographics and ultimately even individuals. That's not cool, and you can come up with far worse scenarios that this sort of individualized tracking.

Like you mention one of the most obvious reasons that Google does not sell user information is because it would not make good business sense. These immense profiles they're building on everybody are part of their 'secret sauce' and simply selling those would not be good for business.

When they're choosing to not engage in behavior that no company in their shoes would engage in, it's hardly praise worthy and I think indeed that ridiculing it as a 'positive' for them is completely fair. So let's change the game a bit. If, somehow, their business changed or evolved such that selling user information directly was a profitable part of some business strategy - do you think they would still choose not to? What if I asked you, not that long ago, whether you think Google would be willing to build a search engine in China completely accepting (and thus arguably implicitly endorsing) all state level censorship engaged in by China?

I do think that Google at one time sincerely held the sort of anti-corporate-establishment view of 'don't be evil.' But it's much easier to moralize when you don't have the option of going against those morals to the tune of billions of dollars accompanied by immeasurable influence.
A huge difference.

DeepSpeech is not a voice corpus, that would be Mozilla's Common Voice project that Mycroft users are also contributing to.

DeepSpeech offers trained models that are about 70% right, but none of them use the Common Voice corpus yet. I think that plus recent changes to the codebase should produce a much better transcription, but I don't have the GPU resources to go and train a model sadly, Mozilla will hopefully release another trained model soon though!
