I don't doubt it and I don't doubt that M.I.T. will create an intensive AI college. My point was that a lot of universities, even distinguished ones, are recognizing that there's a real demand and hype for "AI/Data Science" degrees and in an effort to maximize enrollment and appeal they often minimize the mathematical and statistical requirements.

I don't believe that you need an advanced degree to become a component ML engineer, but the math/stats is necessary pre-requisite and these pre-reqs are often poorly defined. At my college, the only pre-req to the graduate-level ML course was the freshman level intro to stats class and multivariable calculus. About 50% of the class dropped when they realized they didn't know how to construct Gaussian models or perform convex optimization.
Indeed it's sad, but at least "for a time, it was good". Still, that only applies to some parts of the world at the moment. And I hope the next generation of coins will mitigate these laws.
Yeah, an F-22 isn't a Toyota Camry. Some quick googling shows they require 12 maintenance man-hours for every hour of flight time. Given how quickly Michael ramped up, I wouldn't be surprised if those planes were simply caught in an unflyable state.
The problem is "massive" in the way that Instagram itself is massive, and having a public account opens you up to a massive attack surface (i.e. the global, growing audience of Instagram and the Internet at-large). As in the case with Facebook and Twitter, there's only so much a social network can do without putting real controls on who can create an account and who can participate:

> Like Twitter, Instagram enables the easy setup of endless anonymous accounts: All you need is an email address and you can start posting within minutes. Abusers leverage this functionality to create armies of fake accounts to attack people. But while Twitter now allows users to protect themselves—by muting replies from people who don’t follow you, who you don’t follow, aren’t verified, haven’t confirmed an email address, and more—Instagram has only implemented some of these controls.

Instagram had a nicer overall "personality" to it initially because it was centered around the posting of attractive, innocuous photos. But in the end, it's still a platform that allows anyone to disseminate information of any kind (not just comments, but screenshots and images of text memes), so there's no reason to think that as it becomes massively mainstream, it won't have the exact same problems as Facebook and Twitter.

edit: fixed grammar
In iTunes (which is what this thread is actually about), you can always uncheck the box "Show Apple Music Features." There is a similar slider control, "Show Apple Music," that can be turned off in the iOS Music Settings.

(Also, given that many millions of us actually use Apple Music, describing these tabs as "just ads" is incorrect. They're tabs that do things. I'd agree that those tabs should be hidden by default if you're not an Apple Music subscriber, though.)
So, don’t do that. Any solution can fail if you implement it badly.
Because it can be used to disenfranchise voters.

When Alabama enacted voter ID, it simultaneously shut down DMV offices in counties with the most potential black voters.

Or like in Texas where student IDs are specifically prohibited from being used for voting, even though gun permits are, in order to suppress student turnout.

Or in North Dakota, where voter laws were changed to suppress Native Americans from voting using tribal IDs.
Because of people not working. IPv6 deployement on consumer internet providers is much higher than those of corporate environments.

Lack of IPv6 on corporate networks isn't very surprising, considering how hard/annoying enabling it is for business connections [0].

I think social media operators are under-valuing the risk that harassment has to their organizations. Social media companies live and die by the network effect. New social sites sometimes hit a magic threshold point after which they take off like a rocket as "everyone" is on it. Dying social sites drop below that same point, after which it's a "ghost town", and usership falls flat.

There are all kinds of things that can cause that to happen, famously redesigns and changes to moderator actions has done it in the past. But in general having a continuously shitty experience as people harass you is a pretty compelling reason to not use a social site. I cannot help but wonder if enough people will leave to trigger a mass exit or not.

What? Are you talking about percentages?
I don't know. I studied a lot of Machine Learning in UC Berkeley (even though my specialization was on systems since I like it more) and it was all very rigorous linear algebra, probability theory, optimization, signal processing, information theory, statistics, algorithm analysis etc... Sure we also took classes about designing heuristics, data visualization etc but they were no where near as serious/hard as other classes, so students focused on other classes. Pretty much all students who were serious about ML took upperdivision Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra and/or Analysis classes. We all took EE, Stats, CS, Data Science etc... and saw ML from bunch of different aspects (e.g. EE perspective being more signal/information -esque, or CS perspective more computational (kernels!) etc...). I have no reason to believe MIT will be any less rigorous. I think most (almost all?) random ML intros online are filler courses without much relation "Actual" (?) ML, but I have no reason believe something from MIT, Berkeley, Stanford, CMU etc will be like that.
It's assumed you're a minority shareholder doing the suing, since the majority is required to approve the split to begin with.

Individual shareholders have contractual rights that are guaranteed by the shareholder's agreement with the corporation, and shareholders will sue if there is negligence or other violations of this agreement. There are also varying degrees of control/rights depending on the class of equity - it's one of the reasons Warren Buffet only buys preferred stock.

this seemed a lot worse until the paragraf describing one of the infiltrated parties as "a Trotskyite party of a few thousand members that advocates the abolition of capitalism through revolutionary means"

I agree. I hope that M.I.T. is able to consolidate these domains in a cohesive manner. The mathematics of ML is super unfriendly because it borrows from so many inter-related domains. You'll end up with notation that uses sigma to represent both summation and covariance within a single expression, or inconsistencies with whether vectors are column vectors by default or row vectors. It makes your understanding of the material dependent on whether you had the same background as the author.

IMO hybrid is the way to go for transport. I live in an earthquake prone area where a power cut would equal limited range one way or no transport when I most needed it if I only had an EV.

In what way does Canada require improved cellular service? I'm nodding my head to the other points you've made but this one puzzles me. If you're talking about pricing, then I would agree there given more numerous and more transparent wireless competition in other countries.

Canada's mobile networks are generally comparable to advanced (but not cutting edge) cellular networks around the world.

Someone on HN previously mentioned that every project they've started with Sinatra, they've regretted down the road that they didn't use Rails.

I think the complaints about Sinatra are vaild, in that it needs to limit how params are accessed, better startup documentation, etc... But ultimately Sinatra is for building super simple crud apps. I don't even use it for anything that accesses something more than a SQLlite DB. I often use it for serving up basic front end assets and running single page applications that have some small server side component to them.

It's footprint is lighter than rails, but so is it's intended functionality.
In economic terms, the biggest impact from air pollution is particulate matter in densely populated areas, not CO2. Burning dinosaurs four miles away (more accurately, 40+) has a huge positive impact, because the worst of the particulate matter falls to the ground by then.

Reminds me of the massive block that appears when you change the volume on OSX.

Perfect position to cover subtitles of the full-screen movie you're watching. On more than one occasion, I've had to rewind the video to catch a critical subtitled word because I made the mistake of making a minor volume adjustment at the wrong time.

You can turn off the block entirely from the terminal, but then you lose the indication of where you are in the volume continuum.
Of course they do, since it's impossible to verify everything service side.
Those are cooling towers (steam -> water), and there is no indication whether that is a power station or industrial plant.

I found a series of videos on youtube a while back, a set of training videos for people working in steam turbine plans, which really cemented in my head the reasons why this is the case.

For example: the final stages of a steam condensing turbine are actually operating under vacuum relative to atmospheric pressure. To start the turbine a vacuum pump first removes the the air from the turbine. After steams works its way through the turbine it is cooled by feed water (which is then used in the boiler) reducing it's volume by about 1000 times maintaining the vacuum.

An ICE on the other hand expels a good portion of the input energy as hot exhaust gasses several PSI above atmospheric pressure.
I suppose it's a selection bias. You likely heard about projects that achieved some significance, which requires some sophistication which Rails provides.

I suppose there's a number of very small, non-public projects that have, say, 10-20 users doing a relatively trivial thing, and are just fine on Sinatra (or web.py, or maybe even a plain CGI script). But they never catch much attention.

If it shows that address while connected to WWAN only, then it's probably coming from 464xlat -- basically your phone synthesizing its own internal v4 network, with any outbound v4 connections being translated into v6 connections to 64:ff9b::/96 (or whatever your ISP's NAT64 range is).

464xlat works well for letting legacy v4-only programs access v4 via NAT64, but it doesn't help them reach native v6 hosts.
