This type of analysis is common in Industrial and Systems Engineering and it has to do with time and motion study. The idea is that by analyzing the human and work process you can find efficiencies in the system and thus improve output. This was popularized in the industrial revolution with Winslow Taylor and Frank and Lillian Gilbreth. In fact a famous movie was created about the Gilbreth's called Cheaper By the Dozen which talks about how they used their Business Management consulting with raising their large family.
According to http://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/24736866/valentino-dixon... the charge of "criminal possession of a weapon" was not set aside.

At most he was convicted of owning an illegal firearm. I have no strong information on the relationships between Dixon, Jackson, and Scott, but Dixon did give Scott the weapon and drove himself and Scott to the location (according to Scott), and Scott worked for Dixon's drug enterprise (according to the prosecutor).

Further, first degree murder in New York includes, "(vi) the defendant committed the killing or procured commission of the killing pursuant to an agreement with a person other than the intended victim to commit the same for the receipt, or in expectation of the receipt, of anything of pecuniary value from a party to the agreement or from a person other than the intended victim acting at the direction of a party to such agreement".

What happened is that the technology spawned by the Semantic Web "fad" is now absolutely everywhere but it looks and works nothing like how people thought it would.

Freebase, after being bought by Google became the foundation of the Google Knowledge Graph (aka "things not links"). This kicked off an arms race between all the major search providers to build the largest and most complete knowledge graphs (or at least keep pace with Google [1]). Instead of waiting for folks to tag every single page, it turned out that simple patterns cross referenced across billions of pages were good enough to extract useful knowledge from unstructured text.

Some companies who had easier access to structured but dirty data (like LinkedIn and Facebook) were also able to utilize (and contribute to) all of that research by building their own knowledge graphs with names like the Social Graph and Economic Graph. Those in turn are helping to power a decent amount of their search and ad targeting capabilities as well as spawning some interesting work[2]

All those knowledge graphs became a major part of Siri, Alexa and Google Home's ability to answer a wide range of natural language queries. As well as being pretty fundamental to a lot of tech like semantic search, improved ecommerce search and a bunch of intent detection approaches for chatbots.

So yeah while the technology and associated research did turn out to be incredibly useful, adding fancier meta-tags to pages was not the direction that proved the most useful.

@Anders Hoff, thank you for making your site work just fine with javascript disabled. I really appreciate that.
Honestly, I think watching Dirty Harry would provide a window into the heads of a lot of law-and-order people, who otherwise can be kind of difficult to understand. It seems like a cartoon, but it's really how people think of the justice system.
There are some cool global minimisation algorithms which can handle certain types of problem where the initial guess is far away. Some involve switching between different algorithms until the cost function is close to its minimum. I did try the ones available in SciPy when I built a non-linear equation based constraint solver, but none really worked well enough. However, I know such algorithms exist if I put the time in to learn about them. Since I discovered cluster-rewriting based constraint solvers, I've been spending most of my time investigating those.

I'm actually not against the idea of asking the user to provide a sketch, I'm just trying to solve the harder problem first and if I can't do so then I'll introduce some constraints (pun not intended).
> It's a company attitude that it can't afford the problems that arise from bad data collection policies.

As someone with decades of experience in privacy-related aspects of tech, let me tell you this: your company is already deceiving itself. It's like an addict, it wants the data, but thinks it can keep things under control if it just doesn't do too much.

There is no "safe" amount of personal tracking.

No matter what you think your plans are, no matter how much you delude yourself that "that will never happen", the bad things will happen. By deciding that this line of business will profit you (and I am speaking both to the person and the company), you will inevitably and without a doubt end up harming folks that you claim you won't.

"No more geolocation than is necessary" is a great example of the addict justifying the fix.

Anytime a user adds content an IPFS daemon, provide messages are sent out to the closest peers containing the cid of the newly added content. The peers will store the record, the cid of the content, and who told them about it. The peers will not request and download the content. However, you could set this up on your own.

It's not a configuration option though. You would either have to build up your own system using the ipfs libraries, or monitor the events from a daemon.

Unfortunately there is a bug that is not allowing the information required to be logged correctly in the events, so the actual cid of the content is not exposed.

If it where, you could look for the `handleAddProvider` or `handleGetProvider` operation through the event logs (`ipfs log tail`) and then inspect the object (`ipfs object stat`) to determine if you wanted to pin it.

> Ideally with some kind of mechanism to store poorly seeded data.

This would be a little more difficult, but you could attempt to query the dht to determine how many peers are already providers for the data (`ipfs dht findprovs`).
I don't profess to understand the mathematics behind these papers but i have been following the debate for a couple years now. It is weird for such eminent mathematicians to not be able to reach a conclusion as to whether mochizukis arguments are true or false. I think this is the first time a really eminent mathematician like scholze has put in his two cents that the proof might not be right. At least it looks like work is being done at a serious level to prove or disprove these papers.
Officially Office 365 includes the subscription version of the native client apps. The web apps are called Office Online. Lots of people are confused about this though, as it's confusing.
Just a few:

- As another commenter mentioned, they ignore and close legitimate issues on a regular basis

- Breaking changes are a way of life and extremely frequent

- They ignore native warnings: our project had zero before introducing RN, now has hundreds

- Navigation is a mess

- Integration with existing native apps works for tiny features but falls apart in larger teams

- Debugging issues that cross the JS <> Native boundary is a nightmare

- Keeping pace with native updates is made much more difficult by the API churn- want to update to Xcode 10? First you have to update RN, which will break all your features

- Poor maintenance of views meant to mimic native views

- If you have a hybrid native/RN app, instead of reducing the platforms you have to support from 2 to 1, you've effectively increased it from 2 to 3

There's a comment elsewhere in this thread where he talks about his backend. He didn't explicitly say it was naive, but he definitely gave off that vibe. Is it possible to use postgres in a sophisticated way to work as an analytics store? Sure...Timescale does it and gives you the majority of what you'd need. But it's hard to get right and the creator hasn't given the impression that he's well-versed in this space.
But is it that easy? Any ready to use OSS projects available?
Eh... I don't know. Each approach has its advantages, but in my experience, I usually have an easier time when I start with the domain model and application logic. More often than not my initial assumptions are wrong and I have to change the model. Easier to change the code than the DB as well as the code. If I hit a weird structural issue than I can usually just rewrite that but in isolation.
Unless EU (with the help of GDPR) starts enforcing DNS nodes with ENDS0 Client Subnet extensions (as many endpoints send the subnet of /32 for IPv4 or /128 for IPv6 enabling unprecedented amount of tracking), the whole thing is simply a selective enforcement tool that will be used to punish those the EU does not agree with.

I think what makes these number theory arguments so interesting to me is how simple the theorems are, but how impenetrable the proofs are. For example, Fermat's last theorem is so easy to understand, but there's no chance in hell I'll ever understand Wiles' paper proving it.
Can we please stop trying to Javascriptify everything? The cross-platform thing has been tried again and again and again, and always runs into the same pitfalls: poor mimicry of native standards, inefficiency, debugging difficulty because of abstraction layer built on abstraction layer, enabling developers with poor understanding of the underlying platform to make an absolute mess of an app for others to maintain later on, and so on.

I honestly have no idea what the first point was supposed to mean. Sorry.

Substantive points:

* Dixon is innocent of shooting Jackson.

* There was significant prosecutorial malfeasance in his prosecution, along with limited defense competence.

* According to Scott in the ESPN article, Dixon did supply the weapon and drove the two of them to the location.

* According to the prosecutor, Scott worked for Dixon, who was admittedly dealing drugs.

* Dixon was also convicted of supplying the illegal weapon with which Jackson was shot. He was not innocent.

> The Librem Key opens up possibilities for even stronger anti-interdiction protection for customers who need it. We will be able to link a Librem Key with a laptop running Heads at our facility and then ship them separately. Then when each package arrives you can immediately test for tampering with an easy “green is good, red is bad” test.

That's really neat, but I'm curious about what interdiction threat models this does or doesn't help with. For example, could the people performing the interdiction have sophisticated enough hardware-tampering capabilities that they could modify the key or extract its secrets and then send it on its way? Could they have a small enough chip that they could place in the USB connector itself to do some kind of malicious thing later on?
> Yes, if against all odds the house won a bet with similarly-erroneous odds

“Against all odds”? We're talking about a event that erroneously gets posted highly attractive odds for bettors, with no special features of the original odds or probabilities. You'd expect, over time, about half of the bets for such contracts to be won by each side.
OIS is not going to help with per-frame motion blur when the camera moves that much or more during the exposure.

A camera rotating or tilting just a few degrees has magnitudes more of an impact than the fastest possible athlete. And yes, of course OIS "turns off" during panning (and the resulting image blur is not only consequent, it is expected and natural), as it would counteract the effect. Just to be clear, I spent two years building a commercial image stabilization solution -- I'm pretty educated on what I'm talking about.

The value of OIS + EIS is that with OIS the vast majority of frames have the stablest possible capture, while EIS can effectively fix what OIS misguessed (e.g. the beginning of a pan that OIS tries to counteract). This is exactly what the iPhone does.

Not sure what you're on about, but nice strawman. I am not referring to government regulations to prevent child labor. I am talking about the systematic discrimination the government takes on when making purchasing decisions: https://www.govspend.com/2017/11/17/government-contracting-o...

It is patent discrimination to evaluate government contracts from certain groups as having lower costs, simply because the business owners come from certain groups. That is discrimination, and it has nothing to do with child labor laws.

Right, there's an interesting split in modernizing/hardening SSH philosophies:

Philosophy 1: Move to hardware SSH keys. That's what Y4s and Nitrokeys represent: keys where, if your machine is compromised, the SSH key itself can't easily be stolen.

Philosophy 2: Move to SSH CAs that issue short-lived certificates, and use U2F to authenticate issuance. This is roughly how you'd do a modern integration of an SSO system (like Okta or GSuite) with your SSH services.

SSH CAs have more steam behind them, and are desirable for a bunch of reasons that hardware SSH keys don't really address.

Since the primary function (beyond U2F, which these keys don't do) of a hardware key is to protect your SSH key, I guess it's worth considering how they fit into the modern SSH worldview or whatever you want to call it.

That is correct. I think there are tradeoffs in making the language too extensible; in this case it's changing some of the details but not the high-level semantics of how the language works. If every library looked completely different lexically, it would be a nightmare to reuse code. Users of Rust macros may already start to feel this; many libraries are implemented as essentially DSLs.

With that said, down the line I plan to add procedural macros, and those will likely be lexical (they take a series of tokens as input, which doesn't need to parse into valid AST.) If I do go that route, such macros would have to be invoked explicitly.
Direct evidence is a witness testifying they directly observed the defendant commit the crime. Any other evidence is circumstantial.

Again, you're conflating the two issues. Your initial comment implied that you think the US has an "imprisoning innocent people" problem, i.e. our rate of imprisoning innocent people is higher. But now you seem to be saying that the rate is probably the same, but the total number is greater because our rate of incarceration is greater. Pick one, and then we can discuss it.

Those are two different problems, with different solutions.

And yes, I was talking about imaginary scenarios. That was a statement about what is logically possible. Another way of saying it would be "you can bring down the rate of incarceration without bringing down the rate of innocent incarcertation, and vice versa".
"Early Decision" implies that if a student is accepted they are bound to attend that school. It's offered by colleges primarily because it greatly simplifies their yield planning. (Colleges admit many more than they actually can accommodate since they know many won't matriculate.)

Republicans are usually a middle aged male female team. They are very polite and will discuss the election in general before admitting who they represent. They will also try to sway with fiscal voting histories and moderate policy choices.

Democrats will usually be a group of twenty year olds or middle aged teachers. They are pleasant, but immediately hand you the flyer and start to discuss 'stopping' this or that. They usually don't talk about their candidate, but discuss negatively the competition and Republican national level platform concepts and of course recently Trump. The majority of flyers they send out are negative campaigns.

There is one campaign this year and the only ads running on TV right now is a negative ad against the Republican because he voted against funding bills that claimed to support some senior citizen project and schools. I honestly think this is a smooth play on the Republican party to keep quiet.
