TSA can "envision" all it wants, it must operate within the confines of the constitution. CBP gets away with a lot due to the unique legal quagmire that is the US border. TSA has no such luxury, and thus (with a little help with orgs like ACLU and EFF) such initiatives should fail. Some restrictions apply - void where prohibited[1]

It makes me wonder if those yellow cabs are just stuffed full of hard drives to store all their historic data too. None of that data is useful or necessary. I would love to see any “insight” that would beat the knowledge of a basically competent cabbie on where and when people need rides. Uber just has lots of investor funny money that they want to spend to make it look like technology has something to do with their business when they are actually just a marketing and booking engine for independent taxi operators. Investors just get more excited and start throwing “internet money” your way if you brag about things like amount of data and engineers.
And paper is nice cause lay people can easily understand and verify the system.

How do you prove that an electric system wasn't tampered with? How do you verify the voting machines actually run the verified code? How do you verify that some sub-component didn't hack the RAM?

Winning an election is too valuable and the risks to myriad for me to ever trust electronic voting. Especially as as you mentioned tampering with paper on a large scale will likely leak something went wrong, whereas electronic tampering might never be discovered and can be accomplished at large scale.
Did you want them to say "This guy is a crank!" several hundred times to fill up space? How are we ever supposed to learn anything new if everything is run through your hypothetical credibility filter first?
I heard about it second hand from an engineering manager who knew some people there. Would love more info too. Context was an argument about introducing Kotlin on an Android team which, well, is no longer arguable (=

That's just as painful with good relative pitch. :-D I dropped out of a choir largely because the director put up with (or didn't notice) some pretty bad flatting. This was an otherwise superb choir, who has been to national ACDA conventions multiple times.

My other choir (a semiprofessional chamber choir) sharps occasionally (especially with songs in the key of F), but never flats.
Levandowski's sentament seems extraordinarily ignorant. I immediately thought of the "you should skate where the puck is going" quote which, I think, implies the importance of having information about the history of the puck and how the puck behaves, while acknowledging that the future is the goal. Obviously you want to end up in the future, where the puck is, but it is well-nigh impossible to get there unless you have good information about the past.

Interestingly, people taking diisopropyltryptamine consistently report strong audio perception distortion:

https://www.erowid.org/library/books_online/tihkal/tihkal04....

"Most psychedelic drugs affect, primarily, the visual sense, but here is one that shows its effects primarily in the auditory system. And it screws it up in a most unlinear manner, in that there in not just a simple decrease in pitch which would be as if someone had his thumb against the LP record and made everything come out at a 3/4 speed text, or a 1/2 speed text. Actual [p]roportionality is lost, so there is complete harmonic distortion."
The name Robotron, though, is awesome!
I agree. Tips should be unknown to the employer. This can readily be done even with card transactions; staff usually swipe a card or enter a PIN anyway to use the POS system.

One of my biggest hesitations with tipping in places where it is unexpected, like a muffin shop in the OP, is whether the tip goes straight to the employee whose performance I tipped for, split among all staff indiscriminately, or more sinister straight to the employer.
Interesting! I didn't really think about this but this is how I implemented sqrt() and division in an interview. Didn't think of how it generalizes!
>The idea that space and time are actual objects, instead of intellectual constructs, has always struck me as wrong.

There were similar objections to the existence of the electromagnetic field, back in the 1890s. But it turns out that fields can propagate energy independent of any non-field objects in them... and if it can carry energy, then how can you say they aren't real?

Spacetime carries energy in the form of gravitational waves. So it is as much an object as anything else that carries energy, whether it be in wave form or mass form.
I've known plenty of waiters, and none of them made $10/hr. The cities were Austin, Dallas, Houston, and Galveston. They all reported making 15-20/hr.

I usually trust the BLS numbers, but in this instance I think they might be off. They collects numbers from corporations, who can usually just report salary. But with heavily tipped positions they don't know how much the waiters earn except how much they declare for tax purposes as the end of their shift. And all my waiter friends who were making 15-20/hr were reporting $10/hr.(Almost all credit card tips).

This is similar to being a delivery driver, everyone was making $20/hr but the ledgers all said we were making 10.
Air travel is not a right guaranteed by the constitution. TSA gets a lot of leeway because of this.
That’s what I’ve read too: https://blog.discordapp.com/scaling-elixir-f9b8e1e7c29b
> I'm really looking forward to what comes out of fuzzing that whole subsystem.

Surely Google uses (a portion of, at least) their massive compute resources to do exactly this sort of thing before these chips even get anywhere close to an assembly line or being built in to new devices? Is an independent security researcher going to be able to try anything Google themselves haven't already tried?

Or is it kind of like brute-forcing a 256-bit key where, no matter how much "firepower" you have available, you'll never come close to trying all possible combinations of inputs, etc.?
I deliberately left passwords in a GitHub repo. They haven’t been used.. yet
The problem is we haven't seen a 4% drop for years, from a predictive of recent decades, many who wasn't in the Stock market during 2008, a 4% drop is a mini crash.

Of coz for those of us who are in it for multiple decades.... 4% drop doesn't surprise us.
It's a pity indeed!

I'm going to snatch one on eBay before this thread really picks up.
I find the idea of a photo of a black hole more interesting than this dark energy star. It didn't seem to be mentioned in the article: when will this "Event Horizon Telescope" have enough data to show us an event horizon?
Also if you try to organize large scale tampering someone will fuck up and you'll realize large scale tampering happened. With electronic voting it might not be obvious.
tl;dr: “Our work shows that a horse’s tail isn’t just an ornament. It’s their main line of defense against biting insects”
Yes but BigQuery provides read/write libraries. So you can use Spark or Apache Beam to read the data into your cluster and then process it using your framework of choice - XGBoost/SparkML etc. The predictions can then be written back to BigQuery using those same libraries.
I know this is OT, but pardon the curiosity: are you looking for work because you have to work, or because you want to work? I assume with your impressive credentials you had a very lucrative career so far, and could more than comfortably retire?

>The restaurant doesn't still make money—the under-tipped employees quit to seek better employment, and at the going wage the employer is offering, there is no further demand for that job to replace the employees who have quit.

Is this not true with every company in every industry? Pay is a major reason why people leave a job for another. If an employer is struggling to find labor at a low ball price, they will raise their offer.
How come no one has sued them (at least in small claims court) for gross negligence?

Anyhow, around here businesses request your consent to copy/scan/store your gov issued id card. So I guess defrauding them is about as hard as getting into a club with a fake id. (But there wasn't really a need for that, as few years ago enterprising individuals paid a homeless guy for his id card and managed to buy more than a hundred thousand SIM cards with it, so there are other issues when it comes to security.)
Don't worry...he will be old soon.
Which one charges which?
Yes, you're right. My calculation was 2^50 bytes in a PB / 10^10 trips, which should have been multiplied by 100 to get 100PB.

Which again leaves me wondering why Uber needs 100PB.
Nope, the specs page says that it's ARM Cortex processor.

RISC-V is still new and expensive for companies like this
Except there's no crowded theater and no fire. It's time to put that rusty excuse to rest - the fact that some speech can cause bad consequences in extremely specific narrow case does not mean that now you can justify any speech restriction by "but fire in theater! Checkmate, free speech!"
What's the argument here? Spaghetti and meatballs aren't explicitly guaranteed, either, but you can eat them without signing away any other rights.
String players probably have a strong opinion on this ;)

Seriously, AFAIK there is no artificial solution for bow strings. The only good material for them is carefully selected tail hair from horses in places with cold climates, like Mongolia.
> many times Fortran is faster than C

Seems like those measurements show that most times the C programs were faster than the Fortran programs.
My first thought as well. It raises some interesting questions.
Does the perfection of execution take away from the art?
What if the meatbag artists were so highly skilled that they executed the same level of perfection? Does it mean different things?
I wonder why the world doesn't have a currency that is somewhat 50% backed by Gold.
Employers pay the difference between tipped and untipped employee wages if the tips + wage don't beat minimum wage.

However in regards to Dunkin Donuts, I'm not sure the employees can even accept or keep any tips themselves. Maybe a Dunkin Donuts regular can comment whether they can accept tips; many franchise restaurants have a no tipping policy.
Something that caught my eye there is serious discussion about whether jokes about November 7 voting (that I hear every election I've witnesses in US, bar none) is interfering with election and "giving false voting information" and whether it justifies removing the account. Which got me thinking - do I really want people that don't know which day is the voting day and trusting random twitter account with crudely drawn meme as an avatar with this information - do I really want them voting that much? It looks to me that if such people show up on November 7, it would only be for the best for everybody.
s/spaghetti & meatballs/illicit drugs/ and that argument falls apart. You will quickly lose other rights, even though drugs aren't explicitly guaranteed or prohibited by the constitution either.

(Not addressing GPs argument, just that the spaghetti & meatballs one doesn't hold water.)
Sure but that would mean copying the data in/out. Instead you could get data-compute co-location with a proper HDFS cluster. But I think BigQuery launched SQL ML APIs recently to train simple distributed ML models on the fly.
Of course you need to read the source code to know what is really being measured!

That's true of every comparison -- basic due diligence.

And read how the measurements were made --

I was close to convincing my small company to go with discord instead of slack, until we realized discord specifically disallows commercial use. Maybe they can charge something for commercial use and I'll get them to switch back.
I really love this. The original art piece is just a set of instructions meant to be fed into our minds and generate an imaginary canvas. Now we use technology to just feed the same set of instructions into software to generate virtual canvases
It is unfortunate we surrender our freedom of movement and 4th amendment rights for the illusion of security.
Thanks. I checked the quotas. They seem to have increased to 200 per table. Last time I checked (last year) they were pretty limiting. I like the MERGE statement though. Hope it comes out of Beta soon.

The pricing is for full scan so it is not just for in-place update but charged with bytes scanned for selected columns for scanned partitions.
it turns out someone else has explored this exact question:

http://blog.benwiener.com/programming/art/2017/08/24/lewitt....

As for what minimalist art "means", I think that's taking the wrong approach. It's more about how you feel when looking at it, what does it remind you of, what non verbal parts of your mind are activated?
It isn't so much one guy vs all of Google doing the work. It's more like the team that Google employs vs the entire rest of the infosec and academic community. This is a treasure.

When you sum up all the red shifts of a large piles of galaxies they are receding from us at speeds faster than can easily be explained using the Hubble model. One theory for this is a repulsive energy of a form we have not yet observed, dubbed "dark energy", which is purported to be causing accelerating expansion of the universe since the Big Bang.

What would happen if businesspeople refused to travel if their constitutional rights were not respected, and the economy ground to a halt?

A small precedent was the widely flaunted "ban" on small electronic devices during takeoff/landing. A revolt among business travelers caused a rapid change in the rule.
Note that regulating air travel is also not listed in the Constitution as an authority of the federal government.
Well, not Bernie himself but Bernie supporter has been beaten up as "fascist" in Portland for showing up with American flag: https://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2018/08/he_bro...

I can imagine some of these people would gladly call Bernie himself fascist - after all he's a Senator in the US government which they despise. So you may not be counting for that long.
I don't see the algorithmically generated solutions as pretty, but the hand-drawn ones seem to have almost fractal detail and are really nice to look at.
Tell that to the residents of Old Smoky, who lost their poor meatballs to government regulation.
I’m betting we will never find out. The number of people who have been driven out of air travel because of today’s draconian restrictions is basically zero. People are conditioned to comply with any request in order to board an airplane.

EDIT: you edited your post after I posted. As long as you don’t make people uncomfortable on the plane, that is. Don’t take away their phones, laptops or headphones, and you can grab as many images as you want of their irises, retinas and fingerprints.

The percentage of people caring about privacy is too low for TSA to worry about it, though.
I've been pair programming for about 6 weeks now, over Discord. The calling and screen sharing functionalities work so well that my partners and I can join and part quickly and easily. We can get deeply into what we're doing individually. But collaboratively, we can solve problems that neither of us can do alone.

I like this virtual setup for multi-user interaction a lot, and hope more tools, even ones specific to virtual programming environments, come for it soon. Tuple's making a remote sharing tool that looks interesting. What comes to mind for me is a shared 3D Wayland environment, like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FjuPn7MXMs so, hopefully more people will start focusing on https://github.com/way-cooler/way-cooler and other Rust desktop/handheld application level development.
Did business travelers stop traveling? And the economy suffered?
Feminism has been a crucial part of Communist ideology for just about ever. In America at the time of the revolution, some of the most influential communist leaders and thinkers were women. Our ideology is one of eliminating barriers that separate people, and that includes gender, sexual orientation, national identity, race, and economic status. Where Liberalism was the ideology of Capital, Socialism was about people.
Bone Saws aren't banned either, and retinal eye-scans of assassins will not make the world a safer place.

Having Humanist-Centric politics makes the world a better place. Humans with shitty governments, parenting and environments which are shitty typically wind up being shitty humans.

Building walls, guns, bombs, cages, cops, totalitarian and authoritarian regimes are no substitute for actually working to be better humans
Steam seemed unassailable by competition until now - is this the solution to competing with platforms that have a monopoly from community lock in (Facebook and Youtube being good examples)?

Build a tangentially related service, build up your own community and then slowly pivot into their space once you've got your userbase.

Anecdotally everyone I know who uses Steam is also on Discord for chat now because it works so well.
I always get invited to the good Ole boys club but I truly hate them. They turn out shit work and make for a really crappy environment for the people who are not in. Diverse teams are enriching and productive...buy not as fun or friendly.
How do dosages from a couple cups of green tea compare with a supplement's dosage? Are the effects comparable?

Do you use Square every day? The last time I went somewhere with specifically a Square reader was probably two weeks ago. Even if I went back tomorrow, am I going to remember my last experience enough to judge a tip?

Even if I go to the same coffee shop and use the same Square every morning, unless I'm holding a grudge it's de facto back to front end tipping rather than upon services rendered.
> What would happen if businesspeople refused to travel if their constitutional rights were not respected, and the economy ground to a halt?

When have business people as a very large collective ever been particularly outraged about the surveillance state? Nothing about the NSA's activities have been fundamentally rolled back. They won, across the board and across party lines. I'm not talking about seven executives from some corner of tech lodging a twitter protest, I mean the millions of people that make up the "businesspeople" category. They have never widely protested the surveillence moves of the last 17 years.

Americans will resist this as much as 24/7 cctv surveillence has been resisted in other developed nations such as Britain. Not at all. Most people do not view it as a threat to their liberty, they view it as an isolated intrusion that is to their security benefit.
Vulnerable to what, though? Physically changing votes takes time, and swapping them leaves a paper trail. If someone miscounts paper votes, you can just recount them.

With a computer, you flip a bit and there's no record. Votes are miscounted? Tough, those numbers are a real as any other numbers. And how much time does it take to swap a vote? Less than a microsecond?
One reason could be security. iframe has the sandbox attribute to limit 3rd party scripts. Webworkers don't have access the dom.
Your experience is not universal. I paired for long enough to get comfortable with it. It never stopped stressing me out. I believe (and have years of performance reviews that suggest) I'm a very strong team member. But I work better asynchronously through text than synchronously through speech. It gives me time to get my thoughts in order before writing them down, rather than racing to simultaneously form thoughts and interject them into the flow of conversation.

I believe all of the benefits you list are real, but that pairing is not the only way, and in my opinion not the best way, to achieve them (with the exception of on-boarding junior employees). I have found architectural standards to be well served by a lightweight design documentation and review process. This has the advantage that the design artifact continues existing somewhere, rather than just being a communicated consensus between pairing partners. People can be kept honest in testing through good code review. I don't think the goal of code review is to make it fast. I think of a good code review as an asynchronous low pressure pairing session.

I'd like to just be happy for people to pair if they enjoy it, but sometimes it seems like advocates for pairing don't feel the same in the reverse. For instance, your reasonable seeming comment suggested that those of us who don't enjoy it so much are weak team members who should be weeded out during interviews.
Y-Combinator was very successful while Paul Graham and Jessica Livingston were picking founders.

Now Paul and Jessica retired, so I expect Y-Combinator results of new batches to stagnate (in a similar way how Microsoft performance was stagnant with Steve Ballmer in a CEO role).
On a serious note; One has already provided their personal details to purchase the ticket, then to receive their bording pass, then presenting their ID to pass through securit - and soon, to provide their "realID" BS which requires a bunch more hoops-to-jump-through-to-obtain, and now in addition to all of this, WHAT exactly is facial recognition/retinal scanning going to do?

I would argue that if they are going to use facial recognition/retinal scanning - then I shouldnt be stopped, searched or require ANY paper document to do anything and should be able to just walk through access-portals for which my ID can be tied to my ticket-of-passage....
I think your whole tangent here is drastically missing the mark, though.

The individual concert-goers didn't know there'd be far more people than expected and that local infrastructure and the organizer would be overwhelmed.

They saw there was a concert and decided to go, just like every other show anyone attends.

Upon arriving, they were stuck in a situation they didn't expect and which people don't expect when they head to a large event that's supposedly "official" .

At that point (gridlock, overwhelmed infrastructure), they're without any options beyond asking others for help, because they weren't prepared for a situation that shouldn't have happened. They came to attend a concert, not a survivalist retreat.
