I’m biased, but I’ve had a feeling in the beginning it was always going to be Dallas in some capacity:

1. DC area may have three potential cities, but Texas is the only other region that has two cities being considered

2. DFW airport is one of the US’s busiest airports, and American Airlines is headquartered there, so you can get a direct flight to anywhere in the country in 3 hours tops. Amazon already has multiple warehouses here and also ships freight through DFW and other airports in the area.

3. Public transit (Dallas has the largest light rail network south of DC), continued investment, world class museums, and honestly a pretty hip city with a lot of activity in the center, not unlike Seattle. Also lots of millennials moving there for its low cost of living and ample jobs.

4. You can’t beat Texas’ business environment — Bezos even praised it when he spoke at a business conference at SMU earlier this summer.

5. Establishing two offices will give Amazon influence in two places, and covering Seattle (West Coast), DC/NoVa (East Coast), Texas (South) gives them nationwide influence.
"copied" in my case is something negative. I meant that as this information is stored unencrypted somewhere and can be just copied and used by an attacker to authenticate as an specific user.

The ticket or cookie or what ever is just used to signify to the system that you are authenticated as user x and specific to http because it is stateless. So an implementation detail and not part of the authentication concept.

I meant cookies here as data that lives in the browser forever or until the user requests a new one just using that cookie alone. And removing that cookie results in locking that account forever.

>I'm arguing that mere truth is unknowable without faith.

Could you please define "mere" truth?

>From a bayesian perspective, one of our priors must be that there is some probability that the very mind that is doing the thinking may be of a nature that is unable to effectively reason.

Nonetheless, that probability can be very low, putting us firmly in normal epistemological territory and not requiring any "faith". In fact, millions of people regularly make the rational, but clouded, assessment that they are too drunk to drive, and take a taxi home.

(Also, from a Bayesian perspective, the form of the generative model and priors is up to the experimenter. From a formal epistemology perspective, you can either try to designate some optimal universal prior, or you can take a variational approach and simply say you want to minimize KL divergence of your predictive posterior from your available data.)

That makes sense with regards to the runtimes and non-spec'd libs. But I was under the impression .NET Standard was essentially the class library spec and if .NET Core is/becomes the only impl of that class library spec it would seem strange to separate the spec from the impl when only one of each exists built by the same blessed implementer. I can definitely understand different compilers, AOT/JIT engines, GCs, etc. Even with minor .NET Standard impl differences in Mono, if they are so minor that they only augment .NET Core, it comes off as an optimization rather than a separate implementation. If the class library impl differences remain major, I would wonder why as surely, even when optimizing for portability vs performance, there is a lot of potential reuse.

Crystal City is a nightmare from a commuting perspective and an awful place to live.

Its more or less a ghost town since BRAC moved out a bunch of agencies and contractors a few years ago. This had the effect of hollowing out what little independent retail / dining there was there as most of it catered to the office lunch crowd.

From a commuting perspective, its right across the river from DC which makes it very difficult to get to from a driving / bus perspective. Taking the metro is somewhat better but would require a transfer for many people.
To the last point, I believe that, ceteris paribus, competency increases with experience and decreases with time out of the daily exercise of those skills.

Of course everyone tries to evaluate absolute competency (ceteris non paribus) in an interview. I’m not suggesting that anyone stop doing that. I am stating a belief that experience is positively correlated and perhaps a necessary precondition of competency. If that's the case, considering experience as a component of the overall evaluation is indicated.
Oops you're right, I completely screwed that up. Just shows how often I think about L-levels.
So I'm still trying to grok this, but this could be a very important result if it could be generalized to the problem of meta-learning and model selection.

In that setting, the model selection oracle could access a shared knowledge pool of learned theorems that are biases about what kinds of models are better. e.g. convolutional nets are better than fully connected nets for vision tasks.

This could break us out of the diminishing returns we have seen with deep learning, by allowing us to better explore the space of compact model architectures, and develop shared biases about what is better. For example, learning the programmatic generation of Inception-like networks.

Bonus points if you want to add a blockchain connection, to decentralize the accumulation of the shared theorem base: Proof of work is figuring out what biases are true over some benchmark, which can be stored to a distributed ledger. Competing annotations lead malicious and noisy results to be penalized.

I am more than old enough. I also know the original documents are 20 years old at this point, and the world has changed since then. If Microsoft is running an EEE campaign against Linux, it's not very effective considering over half of Azure is linux.

Seriously, grow up. Microsoft is a publicly traded for profit organization. They're not embracing Linux and free software out of the "goodness of their heart" but because there's compelling reasons to. Russinovich literally said they transition because of "practical business reasons". They're not out to get your desktop or your phone. Their aim is Azure. They want people building stuff on Azure. Would they like you to build on Windows? Of course they would that means more money. However, they ported VS to macOS, released a multiplatform code editor, and pushed SQL server onto linux. They're realized the OS is nothing but a tool.
Faith and plausibility remain two different things, unless you really want to argue that "faith" is simply "any overcoming of radical skepticism or solipsism".

It makes me sad to think that business is put above human needs. Overall business will thrive no matter what kind of rule set you impose. If you or another individual stops doing a specific business because you don't know how to deal with new rules, the whole point of capitalism is that somebody better than you would take your place and do what you cannot.

Trying to protect business, to me, has always seemed like a problem of personal greed being leveraged over the community's interests. Those who are individually benefiting by the current systems don't want to change it because they could potentially lose their current advantages or be superseded by others who are more willing to do more.

Everything you mentioned was covered in my original comment:

> - increase your subscriptio

This should force a confirmation and notifications as I noted. Simply checking the credit card CVV is way more useful than traditional MFA.

> and watch using your account for free

Not your problem and Netflix must monitor that to catch friends and family sharing anyway.

> - send DVDs to their house and sell them

Also a financial change which should trigger checks. Again, CVV does the job perfectly fine.

> use your same email/password combo on other sites

This is only true if they utterly botch the design by storing passwords insecurely and displaying them to the user. If either of those are true, it’s virtually certain that they’ve made equally bad mistakes elsewhere which MFA won’t help with.

Well, that notion is certainly used to argue about gender pay gap, where figures like 77 cents to the dollar are touted of.

Perhaps if most everything an industry uses is learned in college, you're setting that industry up for a low skill cap and thus maybe ageism.

Well. Even files can be attached to pdfs, in few case normally as a "pdf source" in reproducible research... But well... We have pdftk and other simple utilities to manage pdfs metainformation... Also it's common to embed other kind of "steganographic" information that's maybe really hard to discover, the simpler are like "dot printers", simple white-on-white etc content in plain pdf that can be read easily by a bot, other may use single pdf's content with a Caesar-like cipher etc.

SpiNNaker is particularly for studying neural structure, especially on the scale from small groups of neurons up to brain structures of a few million, on timespans of a few seconds to a few hours at simulation timesteps on the size order of a millisecond. That's a scale where doing the study in vivo or in vitro is technically extremely challenging; signal analysers find that awkward, either to get that many channels that fine or to get that density of sampling. Or both; getting either is hard and getting both is crazy hard.

But being able to simulate neural networks that can do their learning on-line and in real time, all while actively processing input (and in a controlled fashion) is an interesting capability anyway, as it means SpiNNaker can control physical robots in interesting ways (and those may be commercially interesting). And it's low-power enough that doing this in the wild is practical, rather than needing to upload everything into the Cloud for analysis. That may also be commercially interesting.
On the other hand, having lots of available empty office space just ready to go sounds like a bonus. Retail will move back in once there are customers to serve.

Really interesting, and potentially highly relevant to New Zealand where our many cows and sheep make up about a third of our emissions. Since cows produce quite variable emissions it sounds quite credible that some out of the box thinking like feeding seaweed could actually work in cutting emissions.

> (https://www.landcareresearch.co.nz/science/greenhouse-gases/...): Measurements of methane emission rates on sheep and dairy cows have repeatedly shown that the variability of emissions between individual animals is large (e.g. for young sheep grazing the same pasture, emission rates varied from 9 to 35 g/day per sheep). While this variability may one day be exploited to reduce methane release by selecting for low-emitting animals, it is not well understood.

> but I don't think science and religion are as opposed as the cultural narrative would suggest.

I agree. I take a fundamental interpretation approach to the Bible. I firmly believe that science must jive with my belief-set. If it doesn't, there are serious questions that I need to answer.

Personally, this calls into question things like evolutionary theory, or creation theories that don't match what I can extract from the Bible.

I don't purport to know everything, nor do I think I'll ever manage to answer all the outstanding questions. I also don't claim correctness on either side of the question. What is important for me is cognitive resonance.

> Religion, broadly speaking, aims to answer a variety of questions; most foundationally [...]

No. I would counter that religion (in general) seeks to answer the "why" of it all.

> It's the grain of sand that the Talmudic pearl accreted around, no more, no less.

"Seek and you will find..." in this case, we go looking for answers and eventually, (sometimes) in matters that can't be handled scientifically, we settle on suitable answers.

Another great example of why cities shouldn't be selling out their residents to attract one of these large companies there. They'll never get their value out of it. Here Amazon changes the game to half the benefits after most of the discussions of incentives have been had.

Side by side with this story, it's hard to see why states and cities are still willing to play ball: https://www.theverge.com/2018/10/29/18027032/foxconn-wiscons...
Right. The interesting thing to me about this is its application to proving theorems, especially about programs. Historically, most people interested in having machines prove theorems have looked for algorithms — "proof procedures", the mathematicians call them, and of course they like to prove theorems about these procedures, such as that they're sound (never generate an incorrect proof) and complete (can prove any true theorem). Both of these sound like desirable properties, and for restricted domains such as first-order logic, it's possible to have both; but first-order logic is inadequate for reasoning about programs. For this task, we need higher-order logic, to prove invariants by induction, and Turing's proof arguably shows that there can be no sound and complete proof procedure for higher-order logic. We have to give up something, and of course that something is completeness; we can't part with soundness, because incorrect proofs are not useful.

So we have to accept incompleteness, but obviously we want our program-property prover to be able to prove as much as possible. How do we approach that? I don't think we can make much progress approaching it mathematically; I think we have to approach it as an AI problem. That means figuring out how humans manage to be "partial oracles" and doing the same thing as much as we can. It means heuristics, it means pattern matching, it means machine learning.
With their tight grip on the internet ad market, this is trundling dangerously close to anti-competitive behavior. They must feel very secure in their lobbying efforts.
