Bootcamp is the best option in my experience.
I needed to run some very heavy Excel workbooks on my Macbook Pro a few years ago, Parallels was much slower than 64 Bit Office on Bootcamp, Mac Office was also slow, was then 32 bit and not fully file compatible.
Macbook pro Bootcamp is the best Windows PC I’ve ever had - has been rock solid for 5 years. I remember Microsoft publishing some stats that Apple macbooks were by far the most reliable Windows machines!
I had a Windows 10 license already, based on a quick search, keys seem to be easily available for less than $20.
An important detail not directly addressed in the article (or I missed it) is do the audio recordings include conversations between Alexa commands? Or where the audio recordings specifically related to the human issuing commands to the device? Either way, it's a huge issue the data was leaked to the wrong customer.

I find it hard to believe this was a one-time mistake.
What would be the best way to deploy this with my application in Kubernetes?
I agree, just don't make the mistake of thinking that Reason and Logic are meaningless if free will doesn't exist. They are still critical.
Pretty short page but solid background.
Misleading clickbait title. The interviewee is not at all denying the hard problem of consciousness, he's saying that our conscious experiences are more disconnected, less informationally dense and that we have less insight into our experiences than we believe.

This is one of the more annoying things editors do to other people's writing.
Nothing in the article suggests they were linked to any kind of user identifier, all we know is that each recording is linked to the transcription alexa made of it (which makes sense, training and log wise).

The user were easy to identify because if I listen to the last twenty queries you made to alexa between what you ask, what other people say in the background, what you talk about and what noise is in the background that gives me a lot of information; that's exactly how they were able to identify some of the users from their recordings.

Not sure whether to interpret your comment as "this is not the best usability choice" or "what does this mean?", but here's my answer to the latter.

.ac.cy is the Cyprus equivalent of .edu in the US. Or, more similarly, of .ac.uk in the UK.

ucy is University of Cyprus.

cs is their Computer Science department.

ap is Anyplace, the name of the app.
I'm not sure how well that filtering works in practice. I think most of it is just that it only tracks clients that load javascript.

I don't understand why important articles such as these, especially written by NYTimes, get flagged?
I'd imagine that a competent company would keep access to user audio recordings tightly locked down, either because they actually care about privacy or because they care about the bad PR of recordings getting leaked.

But if the GDPR requires them to send the recordings to users upon request, they need to have a way to do that -- either by exposing a service on the web, or by providing access to customer service employees to handle the request. Not sure how I feel about that.

Yes, more popular than you might think, especially as a)SaaS products get more technical and b) roles like sales engineering grow. Some of the best performers in sales become thought leaders in the industry they work in. We get applicants who went through coding bootcamps, who realize their skills are best served in sales roles, merging technical knowledge with understanding/solving complex business problems.

This sort of thing is why MS implemented 'PatchGuard' on windows 10 to stop AV vendors from patching OS routines and paths. The system will now bugcheck if the checksums of certain pages change. It also does a few other thing allgedly that MS has deliberately declined to go into detail. But regardless even MS has been fighting back against this garbage.

I'm looking for the actual emails - basically the discussion was about how to get a feature passively opted into by the user without letting the user know they were allowing that specific permission - and they discussed how to achieve this and then zuck approved the action.

Great job. In the title there's a random extra "N" in katakana at the end of Ni (日) hon (本). I guess it's from noir at the bottom but, as it is, it doesn't make any sense to any Japanese reader. You should split them by word, not just for graphical balance.
But that's not what's going on here. This is like saying Microsoft Word doesn't exist because I can't see it if I look at the electrons in the computer. Or can't abstract it from there. Or possibly even who wrote the program. No, just "It doesn't exist", or "It's an illusion".

> Diaspora never gained traction because being worse at all of these things than Facebook didn't trump "Decentralization", "Freedom" and "Privacy".

Since when is "privacy" a feature of Diaspora? Their first big bug was, "any data from any users can be gotten by anybody willing to try." At least for a long time user's posts were stored in plaintext. (Not sure if that's still true.) And it's federated, not distributed.

I think your angry rocket of a rant overshot the moon there. Signal users might have privacy. Diaspora users certainly do not.
"maybe" shouldn't have. So not "certanly" shouldn't have, just "maybe"?
Looks like in Cyrpus (.cy) there is second level domains depending on the site, and ac.cy is for academic and research institutions. so ucy.ac.cy is the university of Cyprus, cs is the computer science subdomain, and ap for the anyplace sub subdomain. It does look odd...

How does this compare to hyperopt?
It's just unbelievable to me that the company sitting on a quarter trillion dollars is unwilling to spend a small fraction of that hoard to hire the best of the best in order to fix the very thing that will kill their cash cow in the next 5 years. I'm on iOS myself (and have been faithful since the first iPhone), but $30 Google Home puck feels like it's from the future. Understands me perfectly, comes up with decent answers, doesn't require rigid commands, etc. Whereas Siri is so bad I use it only to set alarms and timers. Not even setting of reminders is reliable.
Isn’t it still the case that “third party” browsers on iOS are just wrappers around Safari/WebKit anyway?

For the longest time Chrome on iOS was just using WebKit/safari’s UIWebView then later WKWebView for rendering webpages, much like many other iOS apps that display web content. For various reasons the App Store rules have always banned third party browser rendering engines, I haven’t heard any change in this policy recently?

The only real advantage of Chrome on iOS was ancillary features like Google account bookmark/history sync etc if you are all in on Chrome elsewhere, which isn’t all that useful in the context of a link provided by Siri, for me at any rate. The feature that lets apps using WKWebView access your password/auto fill data only works with Safari on iOS as well, which is all the reason I need not to bother with the WebKit-wrapper rivals anyway.

The maps issue is significantly more annoying to me.

Is there any way someone outside of the US can get access to these trainings? That would be awesome for someone like me trying to switch gears from being in development and just entering sales.

You don’t understand what the fallacy of the false appeal to authority is. It’s interesting that you accuse me of “appeal to authority” and then right away cite an expert source. Do you not see the hypocrisy in this?

The professor lists a series of things that cause workers stress. Layoffs being one of them. The claim is not that every source of stress is increasing but rather the aggregate level of stress is increasing. It’s clear from the focus of the statistics you cite that you are likely much more uninformed than the professor.

This seems reasonable at first glance... The brain often makes an observation that takes too long, and then pretends it knew the results all along. Brain scans have shown that the decision to do X has happened way before the awareness of action X has been detected - mostly due to a 'society of mind'.

I don't think the assertions are all correct, in all cases however.

I do think we spend much of our time on a kind of autopilot, where (the bit of your mind we identify as you) is essentially a passenger. Our actual conscious thought is probably much smaller than we'd like to believe.

I'm looking forward to @bencollier49's thoughts/blogpost.
With regard to number 1, I've found that some places that do grocery delivery in house (like Raley's,) apparently keep separate stock for delivery (discovered by asking) and it's often in better shape than what's on the floor. I think this is because there's some sort of 100% satisfaction policy to incentivize adoption. This has borne out in my practical experience as I've almost always been more than pleased with the produce delivered by in-house grocery delivery services. The only thing I don't love is that the online interface isn't always synced accurately with what's in stock, so often I get calls having to hash out substitutions before they can deliver.

WRT alcohol, I personally usually shop for that stuff at a specialty store like Ben's or Total Wine. I realize other people have different shopping habits, but I would have to make a special trip for groceries separate from my alcohol trip, and I appreciate that delivery helps me save a trip.

Punishment has never been an efficient way of changing behavior.

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/feeling-our-way/2014...

Nobody wants to avoid the behavior when punishment is introduced, they want to avoid the punishment itself. Typically speaking, this is done by circumventing the punishment, rather than correcting the behavior. Besides, (almost) nobody purposely sleeps through their final - especially not if they take the time to ask someone to be a backup alarm. You'd be advocating for punishment of an accident at that point, which is aggressively useless at best, and sadistic at worst.

Excerpt: "the relatively low cost accessibility to semiconductor fabrication using gate arrays. Chip manufacturers who needed high volumes to recoup their capital investments of hundreds of millions of dollars (now billions) had figured out a way of producing standard product families of chips called gate arrays, which were identical except for the last few steps of the production process which defined the interconnections. This enabled computer systems companies to buy state of the art fabrication by effectively buying batches of wafers on a time-share basis from a few thousand dollars upwards, instead of the millions of dollars required previously."

Um...you know JG was formerly at Google doing all that magic you love and is now at Apple, right?
That's quite a spin on the story.

This is not one of the dangers of the GDPR, it's a danger of companies keeping sensitive user data with them forever when they clearly are incapable of being good stewards of it (and no, you don't deserve to be called good stewards if you have even one leak).

Perhaps, just perhaps, this will incentivize companies to have strict data expiry policies (at the very least), but I am not holding my breath.
Ah getting my first modem under linux working - the autovtest was dialling 999999 - I got a call back as soon as I managed to hangup. Explained to the 999 operator I was just testing Linux....
Sure, but your backup plan probably should not involve one of your parents getting up extra early to give you a wake up call. But to each their own, I guess.
Amazing how most of the reactions equate “move” to
“relocate to a different corridor” without offering
the costs of “elevate the trackage in the same corridor”.
Not cheap, to be sure, but avoids the land cost/urban planning morass of how to relocate major infrastructure.

Yeah it's funny; I remember back when blogs first became popular, but before comments-on-posts was a common thing. Most community and discussion happened on message boards or newsgroups (whenever a link to said link was posted). That's what led to the backlink (quickly taken advantage of by spammers), which led to the on-premise comment thread.
Ah, I get it. Yes, I agree with your direction, that charging lower tax rates so people who claim 'capital gains' instead of salary pay less, because they are investors or some bs.
I've noticed that in the hiring threads, a particular company is always hiring, and the email contact username is "austin". It would be easy to pick this up as a location even though it's a person's name.

This analysis has the Austin as one of the top 10 locations, and I'm curious whether or not that is skewing the numbers. There are a steady stream of jobs actually in Austin, so either seems possible.

If a Boring company tunnel has 1/10th the capacity of a subway but costs 100 times less, that's a major win. Parallelism is a thing here, after all.

It is disappointing that our top journalists sometimes prefer to fit a story into an existing narrative but narratives capture the public's attention so the incentives get a little weird.

1) It's not "sometimes." It happens many, many times a day. It's basically become the way they do things.

2) "narratives capture the public's attention so the incentives get a little weird" -- So the news is no longer about finding and transmitting the truth. It's about selling narratives? And the more the legacy news industry progresses on its inevitable collapse, the worse it's going to get? Nice.

I just don't understand the way people treat their tech devices these days. I see millennials putting iPhones in their back pockets and then wondering why the screen shatters when they sit down. You are putting a piece of glass against your butt and sitting on it!

I remember when flip phones, digital cameras, floppy disks, and even Atari 2600's were handled with care. Because they would break, and were expensive to replace!

Do people act this way because stuff doesn't cost enough? Because paying for stuff with credit makes it seem like it's free, and therefore not worth anything? Or has the magic just gone out of tech for the average butt-storing phone user?
Ah right, that's the dupe link I meant to post for mods. Thanks!
