I guess maybe a better way to ask is which acoustic environments do you excel in?

In terms of gathering data, I'm curious how to plan to get the 15K audio hours it takes to train each of these models. The most you want to segment it (like through acoustic environment or genders), the more data you need. Do you have a cheap way of generating high quality data?
These statistics about the dataset are interesting:

~10.4 million tweets (of which ~6 million were original) across 3841 twitter accounts

~1100 YouTube videos across 17 account channels

~116,000 Instagram posts across 133 accounts

~61,500 unique Facebook posts across 81 Pages

There were ~77 million engagements on Facebook, ~187 million engagements on Instagram, and ~73 million engagements on original content on Twitter.
Existence proof. Law enforcement looks the other way and we do nothing about it. Not being OK with something and passively accepting it is functionally identical to being OK with something.
Many grocery stores all over the US have that. Not for fresh spices though, maybe the poster was thinking of fresh tarragon, which is typically sold for around $2.50 for far more tarragon than you need for a single portion of anything.
The 2nd-6th amendment have not exactly been effective at protecting the human rights they affirm at the state and city level. Where I live I have to get permission from the government (good luck if you're not white) to own the tools to defend myself from physical harm and the government can stop me and seize my property on a whim.

I believe we need more defense in depth. We need our human rights to be protected by every level of government and informally by society itself.

Numbers like this are always quite funny to me. What does year over year mean in this context? 5 years? 10?

If you would start with $1000 then in 10 years you would be at approx. 976 million with only lower part of your profits (500%).

Since the USA is a car culture, you can safely ship to work and put the packages in your car trunk after you commute. You can ship to home the low value packages and if theft isn't common enough for you and amazon will just reship you on the rare case that it gets stolen.

This breaks down if you don't do car commutes although, in urban places like NYC & SF or can't ship to work.

now I understand that kids do dumb stuff from time to time. riding a dirtbike around someones fifty acre estate is not that serious, and could easily be done unintentionally if property lines are not well marked. going up to someones door/porch without an invitation is quite something else. if you can find a way to mess these people up without putting the mailman at risk, I am all for it. I would be very happy to live in a society where messing in/around a person's dwelling is understood to be a serious risk.

As someone who often cooks for myself, bananas are a pretty terrible example because you can literally buy one banana if you want. Perhaps I've been violating a taboo all my life, but I have never had a problem breaking up a bunch of bananas in the store.

Fresh herbs I agree. It's one reason I tend to grow them. [ADDED: There are also a lot of frozen and freeze dried options these days that I often take advantage of.]

There are lots of meats you can pull out of the freezer and put in some water for 30 minutes or so.

I'm actually sympathetic to your basic point but it's just not something I find to be a huge problem.

Reduce, reuse, recycle. In that order.

People vastly overstate the value of recycling, especially for glass and plastic. Steel and aluminum are about all that's 'good' to recycle.

For plastic and glass, it's only marginally less bad than going to a landfill. The cost to collect, sort, melt, and produce an inferior product is just too much.

Wardrobe Unveils Peer-To-Peer Digital Marketplace for Rentals
I'd suggest try both.

The Elixir web world gets a lot more love than the F# one. F# always touts the advantage of living in the .NET world, but it means most things are built with C# in mind, not F#. There are F# frameworks, and they are nice, but the community is quite small. But the advantage is the .NET world has a vast amount of libraries for doing most things.

OTP and Elixir is a better story than F# equivalents. There are no lightweight isolated processes in .NET

Elixir also has macros ( a very sharp double edged sword ) which can make frameworks nice to use.

F# is stronger typing which is nice and often has the trait if it compiles, it works. Though the normal downsides of dynamic typing in Elixir are not so bad.

But the best thing is to try both and make up your own mind

So, that's like a 500 dollar budget? Somewhere in that range?

Partisan content was presented to targeted groups
in on-brand ways, such as a meme featuring Jesus in a Trump campaign hat on an account that targeted Christians

It's an unbelievably tacky picture of Jesus wearing a red MAGA hat. Yeah, that's why people voted for him. I mean, yeah. The multi-million dollar ad campaigns from Clinton had nothing on crap sourced from 4chan.

If you watch the election coverage from 2016, they were going on about Russia minutes after Trump clinched it. Minutes. All together. And this shit is still going on. I was trapped in Atlanta airport shortly after the election and CNN had 4 hours of shameless Russia Russia Russia propaganda. And they're still at it. Joe McCarthy would have died of shame before carrying on like this.

Anyone interested in how propaganda really works needs to consider the top down, nationwide, nonstop campaign to destroy the president. Even if you hate the guy, consider just how much power is being exerted to negate an election. It's interesting if you look at this--because it's actual power, unlike silly two-bit posts on Facebook.

That same power could plausibly be turned in the opposite direction, and the left will be utterly staggered, like fish out of water.
This page reads normally on mobile, but on desktop it's eight columns wide, scrolls horizontally, with each column being 1/4th the screen width.
It was covered extensively during the election.

However as time goes on more evidence emerges. That's natural.
Did you mean to say Elixir comes from Ruby? Surely you mean Erlang?
Remember when the term "fake news" was coined, before Trump embraced it for his own use? It was originally referring to inexplicable growth in stories from invented news outlets.

One interesting tidbit in the report is the claim that the platforms intentionally scrubbed potentially useful metadata from the data they provided the Senate.
Perhaps tangential, but Jehovah’s Witnesses consider themselves Christain (the article refers to ‘modern Christains’ collectively as believing in hell, but I’m not sure that’s actually accurate; perhaps they meant Catholics? Do born-again or LTS believe in hell?) but don’t believe in hell because as the article also states, it isn’t mentioned in either the Hebrew or Greek scriptures.

The origin of hell is probably pagan.

What’s lacking in Google Slides? It works great for me and is the standard at most companies I know. In a way, you’d have the same problem if you just joined a company that uses Google Slides, so maybe that’s a better way to frame your question.
Sure. It would be inadequate even if it worked as described -- having to opt-out from every browser and machine you use, and then again when you clear cookies? That's unmanageable.

But it doesn't work as described. Perhaps one or two companies might pay attention to the opt-out, I don't know, but I do know that it makes no difference that I can see.

Also, it does nothing to stop the worst of advertising's sins: tracking.

So, all in all, I consider it utterly worthless. It's far better and more certain to block everything browser-side.

> Given that it's less than the amount of population growth, I would characterize it as an insufficient amount of housing supply being built.

Yes, demand far exceeds supply, even with growth. The statement that I was disagreeing with was that some outgrowth of NIMBYism or zoning restrictions were to blame for the lack of growth of supply. I feel like the developments that are in progress are indicative of the fact that those are not the problem.

I don't know what the problem is or have good ideas on how to fix it. Possibly the problem is, as I outlined above, that real estate is just getting very expensive, and developers who would very much like to build large-scale housing are simply priced out by the capital expenditure to even acquire the real estate itself. Maybe the affordable housing initiatives have backfired to a greater extent than anyone realizes. Or it's possible that new supply is in fact outstripping demand, but the lead times are such that once the units come online the market will experience a pull-back as they have trouble renting or selling the new units.
now that the video has gone viral, this guy is potentially in big trouble. booby traps are illegal per se. and if someone claims latent injury (eg glitter in tear duct) ... watch out.

Society is broken badly if getting robbed happens “all the time” without repercussion. It is absolutely not acceptable or normal for your car windows to be broken and your stuff stolen. If I lived in a place where it happened “all the time” I would get out ASAP. This is major dysfunction.

Crime certainly happens everywhere, no place is immune altogether, but it should never be an everyday occurrence.

AMBROSIA: new platform for reliable, distributed applications without the hassle

There's a name for this. I forget what it is, but I remember having the principle explained to me, and thinking to myself: "Holy fucking shit, this is some seriously out-of-touch economic high-finance quantit=ative bullshit." Like, the kind that always expects all graphs to go "up and to the right."

Basically, you sit down at a restaurant, order a meal, and on the way out, the host or hostess ask you to mark off checkboxes rating the experience on a scall of 0 to 11. Eleven being the Spinal Tap interpretation, and Zero being the hospital visit.

We now face three realities at this point, completely disconnected and untethered from one another, doomed to resolve as if it were some Cellular Automaton rule set from hell.

On the customer's side of things, maybe they let their small child mark the check boxes to satisfy the child's curiosity, maybe it's the waitress' mom dropping by for a visit to take pictures at their first summer job. Maybe it's an actual normal customer, a random person with with a pulse, fresh off the street. Anything goes. Straight A's or all balls.

The wait staff, have no control and don't actually know how they're being judged. By what criteria, or rules. They just know what it means to wait tables. They've been in a restaurant before, and they know what middle of the road is. Unless specifically advised of the level of service, they observe their surroundings, and follow their instinct, drawing on prior experience and whatever they learn as they go.

The analyst that receives the feedback however, operates according to rules both alien and strange to normal people. Only 9, 10 and 11 are positive ratings. All others are an insult to the business, and all parties associated with an 8 rating or less must be eliminated from the system. They don't want to see paying customers that aren't ecstatic, nor do they want employees delivering service that catches a middling rating. To them, a 9 represents a danger zone, threatening profits with a backslide.

The person who explained this principle to me was my boss' boss, and it was in this moment that I knew the ship I was on was aimed at an iceberg, and that I needed to escape. He was referring to our OKR process, while simultaneously explaining this principle in relation to our review process. It was a very "Steve Ballmer/Stack Ranking/Cut the Weakest Link" sort of discussion, and I stuck my thumb out and found another job, for better pay, and less demand within weeks.
Investigators run modified Freenet nodes that serve illegal content. They log connections with peers, and track chunks of illegal files, based on hashes. So if your node peers with one or more of their nodes, they can see if it requests any of those illegal chunks. If it does, you are "downloading illegal material".

Freenet is a pure P2P system. Your peers know your IP address, and vice versa. So your only defense is that your node was just relaying those illegal chunks to some other node. But that requires expert testimony, and a jury that's capable of understanding that expert testimony.
I was pretty sure $6-7k was the floor for BTC, and it’s interesting to see a high-profile fund manager made effectively the same, expensive mistake. The biggest surprise for me, though, was ETH, which given its better fundamentals, I had thought would be where the market went after Bitcoin popped – and yet, it was not only dragged down, but crushed even harder than BTC.
What a horrendous experience that was.

If you met the people doing what they are doing to you and listened to their story, there's a good chance you wouldn't want a baseball bat taken to them. Being a thief is hard, most people do it becasue they have pretty hard lives, lives that would make you cry.
