Maybe because they lack the expertise to do it right?

Especially, they arguably lack the expertise to do remote hosting right. Also, as spurgu says, because they don't want stuff hosted locally. And if they thought it through, they wouldn't want the traffic back to their location.

Given all that, they arguably figure that these shared-hosting sites must know what they're doing.

Even then, I'd imagine that a significant portion of the noise in an airliner is wind noise rather than engine noise. Your plane is only going to get "less noisy", not "silent". Good noise canceling earphones are a far better solution (I have some specifically for plane flights, they're awesome!)

Great analysis. Yeah, the family could've easily not seen what happened with Syndrome, though it would be weird if he was flying away with the kiddo and then suddenly the kiddo drops (it's not his MO).

Very interesting... the version of the movie I saw has a scene where the family is in a car and the mom is talking to the babysitter and she's leaving freakier and freakier voicemail messages about JJ. Eventually she says something like 'your baby has special needs.' It wasn't super long and didn't show anything from the babysitter's perspective I don't think. Maybe it was cut out of some other versions.

You're right that they don't seem like a family displaced at the track meet. Everything seemed to be back to normal. Given all the chaos it's possible they never talked to the babysitter but if I were in those shoes I would certainly have found out why she freaked out at least at some point after the end of I1.

Good analysis though. Appreciate you digging in on that.
Thanks! I wonder why TFA didn't show any photos? It always makes me skeptical when a news story about a new design is accompanied only by renders.
You have to understand "art for art's sake". Read Whistler's "Ten o Clock" lecture. Whistler was a friend of Oscar's and some say had a stronger wit.

Oscar Wilde: I wish I had said that.

James McNeill Whistler: You will, Oscar, you will.

Basically people want artists to make things that serve a narrative, or have a utilitarian function, but art does not have to justify its existence.

> The benchmark global levelized cost of onshore wind sits even lower than solar, at $52/MWh, down 6% from BNEF’s 1H 2018 analysis, and driven by cheaper turbines and a stronger US dollar. This is, of course, the average cost, and is as cheap as $27/MWh in India and Texas. Further, in most locations across the United States, wind outcompetes combined-cycle gas plants (CCGT) supplied by shale gas, putting the lie to the idea that shale gas is the savior of America’s power reserves. Further, according to BNEF, “If the gas price rises above $3/MMBtu, our analysis suggests that new and existing CCGT are going to run the risk of becoming rapidly undercut by new solar and wind.”

My note: US Henry Hub natural gas has already been above $3/MMBtu for the last month, and the price momentum is trending upwards (to be expected with the winter season):

> Finally, and highlighting a growing trend in the energy sector, short-duration batteries are now the cheapest source of new fast-response and peaking capacity across the globe — except in the United States, where cheap gas gives peaker gas plants an edge. Further, as electric vehicle manufacturers ramp up, battery costs will only continue to fall and are set to decline by 66% by 2030, resulting in cheaper storage for the power sector. Further, batteries combined with solar PV or wind are becoming more common, and BNEF’s new analysis predicts that new-build solar and wind which are paired with four-hour battery storage systems can already be cost-competitive, without subsidy, as a source of dispatchable generation, when compared with new coal and gas plants in historically fossil fuel-intensive countries such as Australia and India.
The explanation you were replying to was more digestible than yours.

Your definition of "refresh" is unhelpfully specific and not particularly correct. The circuit that "looks at a voltage and freshens it up", also known as an amplifier, is just a transistor or pair of transistors.
I'm not sure 0.1% is an accurate reflection of the portion of users with some accessibility issues.

Moreover, whatever the portion of users who currently have accessibility issues is, the portion who will have some is much much larger.

Finally: human accessibility frequently seems to dovetail with machine accessibility. Engineering done with accessibility in mind seems to be less likely to result in silos and more likely to present an interface more amenable to automated interaction.
OnionShare is a good choice.[0]

However, Tor is vulnerable to traffic analysis. And running a server, adversaries can easily modulate/fingerprint the traffic, which facilitates traffic analysis. If you can see the signal, and have taps on major AS, you can drill down to the server.

I think hes a quality content source at the very least. You can usually find an abridged or best of for the most interesting podcasts. And you can reliably fall down to a complete unedited interview to get more balanced observation 9f his or guests opinions. He sticks out to me as one of my most interesting and he shares similar levels of openness and drive for the truth compared to the other independent producers I am aware of it frequent. There are other quality producers that do better jobs at interviewing different niches.

The truth is always changing, entertaining controversial hypotheses is reinforcing or exposing the truth. As my awareness, research, observational and social skills have expanded, so too has my worldview. If it we represent a worldview as a polygon, where each time you accept a new story into your worldview you add that point as a new vertex to your shape. What happens as you validate and accept more points outside your ahapn? Your total perimeter likely increases is length, ever increasing the total number of potentially mysterious stories available to you. The larger your worldview, the larger set of "what ifs" become available to you, "what ifs" produce larger impacts requiring larger and larger changes to your worldview. If you dont entertain the what ifs and discuss potentially impactful what ipfs, the more cataclysmic the potential change you'll have to make.

As an ML engineer, I’ve found MLFlow to be really a disastrously bad way to look at the problem. It’s something that managers or executives buy into without understanding it, and my team of engineers (myself included) have hated it.

There are many feature specific reasons, but the biggest thing is that reproduction of experiments needs to be synonymous with code review and the identically same version control system you use for other code or projects.

This way reproducibility is a genuine constraint on deployment and deployment of an experiment, whether just training a toy model, incorporating new data, or really launching a live experiment, is conditional on reproducibility and code review of the code, settings, runtime configs, etc., that embodies it totally.

This is much better solved with containers, so that both runtime details and software details are located in the same branch / change set, and a full runtime artifact like a container can be built from them.

Then deployment is just whatever production deployment already is, usually some CI tool that explains where a container (built from a PR of your experiment branch for example) is deployed to run, along with whatever monitoring or probe tracking tools you already use.

You can treat experiments just like any other deployable artifact, and monitor their health or progress exactly the same.

Once you think of it this way, you realize that tools like ML Flow are categorically the wrong tool for the job, almost by definition, and they exist mostly just to foster vendor lock-in or support reliance on some commercial entity, in this case Databricks.

Are you saying that data is the means of production?

I would disgree. Advertising is more important because stuff is less valuable. Therefore the data (which enables effective advertising/selling) is more valuable than the means of production.

They certainly aren't the same thing. You can produce tons of stuff without data. You would just have no idea what to produce or how to sell it.

The style of writing makes this read like a sledgehammer. It is strangely refreshing.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - one of the greatest boons from the new wave of VR is not the tech itself (fun though it is) but the focus on latency as a first-class metric. I've always been sensitive to microstuttering and so find it irritating when a game that's "running at 90fps" (or a document that's scrolling) still has perceptible judders.

> Many people on the Communications team feel under attack from the press and even from their colleagues. I’m deeply disappointed that so much internal discussion and finger pointing has become public.

That’s a clear internal reference: Friday’s All Hands and comments on related posts. This and the comment from Sheryl (including the explicit “All Hands”) make it sound like both were copy-pasted from the internal discussion forum (a.k.a. Workplace).

Those two sentences are text-book Schrage. Any other executive at the company would welcome the feedback; remind people that their colleagues are human and to stay civil; encourage people to keep pushing back, but remember that PR is hard for a reason. Schrage just… that.

Anyone else would also probably have edited that section to mention that it’s good that the press keeps us honest, democracy needs uncomfortable conversation.

One thing that will never be excused though is “much internal discussion and finger pointing has become public”. Everyone would agree this is not acceptable. Employees are welcome to (politely) rip a new one to any executive if they don’t like something, but going to the press, no matter how small or how bad… I don’t remember any quote in the NYTimes, but that person will have a very bad time, even if it is the last thing Schrage does.

> Mark and Sheryl have also asked Nick Clegg to review all our work with communications consultants and propose principles and management processes to guide the team’s work going forward.

If this is an internal post, that sentence is very clearly missing a “and myself”. This is clear shade, not surprising for Schrage internally, and uncharacteristic for the company. I’m not confident he’s happy with Clegg.
Bonus: companies are then puzzled at their poor diversity scores. Men, broadly, overestimate their qualifications and women underestimate them.

I think this article places too much emphasis on input devices and hardware constraints, and not enough on software architecture. JIRA doesn't really feel any faster just because your input devices are fast; the application level latency dwarfs the input latency by a large margin.

I would take measurements, but JIRA prohibits benchmarking for some reason... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ they're probably just trying to save everyone else the embarrassment of seeing how incredibly fast JIRA is compared to their own sluggish offerings, right?

I am confident that JIRA's application latency has nothing to do with Java (backend) or JavaScript's (frontend) garbage collector.

Many companies just feel no impetus to write fast software, or to use commensurately powerful hardware.
My informal understanding.

Meltdown: out of order execution of reading a secret and cache it in L3 via a predictable pattern through page aligned indexes from 0 * page_size to 255 * page_size

Spectre: (speculative) out of order execution through: direct branches, function calls, and returns (same cache side channel strategies as meltdown)

Biggest difference: meltdown will segfault. Spectre won’t.

Didn’t check the source code of spectre but that of meltdown is pretty clear, especially when you read the paper.
to be fair the site is a html site only and gets served via cloudflare. not a fair metric against a "dynamic" site.

also most webservers/frameworks/whatever will favor throughput over latency.
I seriously doubt the vast majority of the population cares.

I mean, I do. I hate websites that take many seconds to completely load when I know they could take less than 1 second without the bloat.

Hardcore desktop gamers and developers usually are also very performance conscious but that is minority.

Sites keep piling hits while adding bloat, and it's totally counterintuitive. Why?
I think there's only so much you can complain about a free service. I would bet that you couldn't convince 50% of the existing users to pay $5/month to get a fully private version of any Google service. In my experience, people value convenience (as in it's more convenient NOT to spend any money on something) more than they value privacy.

I'm not saying you don't have a valid point, you're just not in a position to make it.
I'll grant you that "eviction process" was not defined above. I didn't mean going to the sheriff on the 2nd of the month to get them removed (not that that would be legally allowed in most places). Giving written notice that, "I have not received this month's rent, so this is the legally required notice that starts the clock" (with better language, and perhaps with a call beforehand as a heads up) would be starting the eviction process, in the way I was using it. As opposed to waiting a week or two, and then sending the notice, and then having to wait for the legally defined notice period to run.

So I agree with what you're saying; certainly you should contact the tenant beforehand with a friendly, "Hey, I haven't gotten the rent this month yet." But I wouldn't wait long to begin the pre-process, let's call it, of giving written notice. Also, I don't think you would have to start the formal legal process as soon as the notice period ends, so you can be flexible at that end if appropriate; but giving notice early gives you the immediate option to start the process if you deem it appropriate, but with lower latency once the notice period is over.
I’d assume you’d need to have a pretty dramatic theory to explain how any force other than gravity could have a galactic-scale impact, but my physics comprehension topped out in high school.

> I use them all the time. But what you have to compare is the world we live in and a hypothetical world where Amazon had a real competitor.

No you don't have to imagine a world where every successful company has a competitor that is completely equal. That isn't how free markets work, that is how things work in theory but never in practice. There is always someone at the top.

> There might be an on-line retailer that was every bit as good as Amazon, but which exercised better oversight of their supply chain so that, say, ordering a name brand from them wasn't a total crap shoot in terms of whether you're getting the real thing or a counterfeit, or which carried items that you can't find on Amazon.

You love Amazon but you are shooting craps when you "use them all the time"? It seems you want it both ways and want to just imagine a world where Amazon has more competition because Jeff Bezos is the worlds wealthiest person.

I can imagine a world where there is a free market and the most successful become the most wealthy.
Imagine it was the other way around: you forked some code documented in Mandarin. Are you able to translate your contribution into Mandarin before submitting it back?

Did you know that there are more people in the world with Mandarin as a first langauge, than with English as a first language?

Here's a good new thing to learn: Google Translate! ;) — Seriously though: I found it very useful when using "Ant Design of React" in a recent project (a great UI library which is primarily documented in Chinese (or a dialect of), although also -partly- translated into English).

In most cases it's really not a big deal. Personally, I'll use libraries documented in any language, providing the code is fit for purpose, and the docs give me enough information (translated or not).
No, by "hosting" they mean shared hosting, with multiple .onion sites on one physical server.

Each of those .onion sites would have its own Tor entry guard relays, and would negotiate its own rendezvous points. An .onion service, just like a Tor user, selects a few entry guards that it uses consistently. And gradually replaces with new ones, over some weeks. But rendezvous points get picked fresh for each client-server connection.

I mean you should have some focus on how you provide your service. By all means, take advantage of services that make your life easier, but you should at least know how they work on a high level should they ever go down and you need to take more ownership of what you provide.
That is correct. You have no concrete examples of immorality, merely gross generalizations. When presented with cases showing that he is more moral than people you defend, you obfuscate and ignore and claim incredulity, because you have no argument.
Now if we would only take on smart modern nuclear reactors, but I'm afraid the greenies in the USA will keep killing that and eventually we'll be buying advanced modular nuclear power from the Chinese in about 10 years.

I also fail to see the actual results of the described post-intrusion pen-test?
Nobody drove the price up. It was simple supply and demand. If more people want to live in a area -- for whatever reasion -- the amount somebody will play will go up.

Why should somebody not be able to take advantage of that? What if they simply wanted to move two streets over? But now could not because the somebody thinks it's unfair that housing prices whent up.

But your other points are messy. People in the cominity are building that value over time by being good citizens of the region. Had they been bad citizens nobody would have moved in and continued the process of building the cominity. It also cost a ton of money to keep your house in proper working order with also increases the demand and again raising the value of the proeprty.

I have so much more to say but I am replying on a phone and I can't stand it. Phones are horrible.

There is no universe where somebody could buy a house for 30k and forty years later be told even though they sold it for millions that they gave to give it all back - and then try to find another house for 30k. God I hope I read your post wrong.
Interesting idea though I think you are blending two problems into one. Let's entertain a hypothetical Amazon where its democratically run. Majority of employees are low wage fulfillment workers. So they vote to increase their wages because they are majority. Now amazon isn't able to sustain profitability because low wage work is by very definition low wage work.

Would Amazon be as successful in this scenario? I doubt it because their prices would be higher to cover larger employee costs. I don't think democracy in a free market works because a business would self consume.
