Mitch McConnell stated that the tax cuts increased employment. Politifact rates that statement as Half True[0]. In reality, it's fair to say tax cuts created an environment that was conducive to hiring, but also, the levels of hiring have been pretty steady since 2010.

That being said, there's even less evidence that this is even Half True in the tech industry.

Works perfectly with people! Such a well done and simple tool.

Of course I'm biased, but I think putting in the effort to have this work with pets would be well worth the time.

There's services that allow you to turn photos with transparent backgrounds into stickers.

Hook this up with that, and you may have a source of revenue.
Which would be a problem if the economy were a zero-sum game, but it's not, so the share of wealth for the X percent isn't extremely meaningful.

I don't see a reason to say it should be frozen in time at whatever level it was in 1978 or progress to a utopia where every single person earns the same (or where every X percentile of people owns exactly X percent of the wealth).

This isn't to say that the current system is helping people, but pointing at this particular chart doesn't seem to do any justice to the idea of why life might be worse for the average US citizen. We could just as well reverse course and have a chart where income tends toward total "equality" and still make the world a living hell. I believe in our ability to do that.
That's pretty painful to look at! I'd really like to see a comparison version that uses the 5-subpixel-wide font in the exact same amount of space.
You seem to have severely missed the point. Everbody knows that Apple manufactures their products in China. Everybody knows their supply chain ships them from warehouses around the world without ever visiting the US. That is nothing to do with any of this!

What the article is describing is as if Apple didn't design their own products, but instead shipped a barely working unbranded $16 android phone straight from an Alibaba seller when you tried to order an iPhone.

It's true that Amazon and Wallmart etc. have done sort-of this kind of thing for a long time (but slightly higher quality goods), but there's a huge difference between this and actual genuine proprietary goods. And even with Wallmart and Amazon, they don't usually make up a brand story to try and make buyers thinking they're getting a unique product from a high quality boutique designer and then selling them broken mass-produced trash.
Had Tolkien not been "bit beat up" he would have written the whole thing in Qenya and no one would have ever heard of it.
I don't think that's it, it's not just about pointing out hypocrisy or anything vapid like that, Congresspeople were grandstanding against the move.

It's all just out of proportion somehow.

Disappointingly, the article never even attempts to answer the question, which really has a concise answer - the Jewish lobby in the US has an incredible amount of influence, and they are attempting to avoid their ethnostate being South Africa'd. Astonishingly, the word "Jewish" never even appears in the article.
Tried to create a mapping that mimics positioning or spacial makeup of letters so you can "guess" more instead of looking up the letters all the time:

http://dotsies.org/design-your-own/#iaeouvxnsfrcbqlzkjwygphm...

A couple of design values:

- vowels 1 dot seems like a good plan

- ending with s / y should be easily recognizable

- tall letters should be tall (tlbdk etc)

To learn, read one word from the top paragraph and see if it "looks" like the bottom dotsies. Then gradually try to read the paragraph without looking at the next word.

The first thing I thought of was Marain, from The Culture novels https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Culture:

“Designed to be represented either in binary or symbol-written form, Marain is also regarded as an aesthetically pleasing language by the Culture. The symbols of the Marain alphabet can be displayed in three-by-three grids of binary (yes/no, black/white) dots and thus correspond to nine-bit wide binary numbers.”

The way WhatsApp was used in e.g. Myanmar included group chats involving dozens of random acquaintances - basically the equivalent of gathering in a town square to gossip. Needless to say, there isn't any security to speak of in such an arrangement. Nor did anyone ever complain that WhatsApp encryption is the obstacle. It's the part where everybody can gossip to everybody, with transparent scaling, that enables flash mobs - and it could just as well be a plain text SMS otherwise.

Why you should use D3
Worked in the space of using ML for security analysis. My experience of it was that it was a race for novel applications for now-standard toolkits.

The kinds of problems I encountered require you have an org where you can lose a top shelf researcher/architect for 4-5 months while they train up on new tools and then use them to run down rabbit holes. This requires both vision and direction, and a moonshot culture to support it.

Chronicle's focus on their customers' problem in the article is sound, the next step is that each customer, or class of customer is going to be defined by their own specific ROC curve, relative to their business. Some just want raw data, others the world ends over a missed alert (false negative), still others have costs associated with false positives.

When you are doing a deterministic rules based system, it's straight forward, but when you get into dynamic and scoring based systems like ML, the responses to it are going to be polarized between customers, and you need top a level vision to tie the whole product narrative together. It's not a thing you stand up that everyone uses, and few people want to buy a framework with a bunch of gigo based trade-offs.

Something I discovered in my own work was that the threat model is the business model, both for products and surprisingly for customers as well. I'm really interested in what Chronicle comes up with, as these are truly Hard problems.
The problem is this situation is all or nothing. You can't break the encryption only for criminals, its either secure for everyone or its broken for everyone and not just in a way the government can exploit. Hackers will find a way to exploit it as well. Can you imagine the damage if the worlds IM history was leaked. This is probably the most sensitive data in the world.

Allowing governments access to IM history gives them way more power than they ever had. This is not just restoring lost powers. Never has to government been able to see your entire history of every conversation going back for years. I think most of us would be ok if it were actually possible to create a system where only the government after going through proper court process was able to intercept the messages from that time and forward but currently there is no good proposed solution and very dangerous laws like those in australia are being approved.

And they refuse as long as they can. Because they hold the copyrights and universities have no leverage.

How would you do a endpoint that creates, for example, a new resource? Like, if I have a todo list and I want 2 todo items with the same text. My create todo endpoint will have to be non-idempotent. That's what the semantics of a POST is for.

It's because Musk has cultivated a tech-god image for the last decade.

From cameos in movies and tv shows to projects like SpaceX that were created solely to boost his "genius" image, Musk (or his publicists) have done everything to make him seem like a superhuman.
I think generally we should strive for positive comments. But I have seen some pretty terrible Show HN’s. To be clear, they are the minority. But there are some that are basically “I will put drug dealing sex workers on the blockchain using Tor” or similar where I think it is warranted to point out that it’s a terrible idea or terrible execution or both.

Make sure and test the copies. I used to do bulk copies years ago and the media + writing speed would make a difference. Writing at full speed would technically work, but the disks were sometimes unreadable in some readers.

'Back in my day' I would chain FireWire drives together (better than USB/Hubs at the time)
Definitely more the language ecosystem than Java itself - coding in Java itself is painful to me as well. I actually write most of my code in Groovy, some in Kotlin and Scala. But these things keep me liking the JVM -

- maturity of the infrastructure (monitoring, debugging, IDEs, build tooling). I love that I can fire up my debugger and remote attach to a process running on some other host and set a breakpoint for a specific condition to catch a bug. Or that I can do the same to profile memory etc., all with very mature tools.

- very good performance - smack bang inbetween C/C++ and higher level languages (acknowledging that startup time is a big hole in that - but not an important one for me)

- truly cross platform - none of this python style, cross platform except half your packages are really written in C and won't compile unless an entire ecosystem of dependencies is there to support them, and even then some of the flat out don't work on some platforms. This extends deeper than most other languages ie: you can get closer to low level OS features while maintaining 100% cross platform capability.

- strong / static typing under the hood which you can access optionally (eg: languages like Groovy / Kotlin let you write high level code without being burdened too much by the overhead of static typing), but all the Java APIs, ecosystem of libraries are all statically typed so you have good guarantees and excellent documentation.

- deployment behavior - I can run the JVM, give it specified memory footprint and know it's going to stay within that
I think this is a funny and cool idea, but there's quite big flaw: it doesn't have a clear baseline. Without context, "ABBA" basically looks identical to "DEED".

Also, if you go so far to create a new alphabet, you could also make it phonetic. Rather than this one, I'd like to see a phonetic syllable alphabet (like the Korean one) for English.
> publishing the same article in two journals is severely frowned upon

Posting copy to arXiv or similar is a norm and not regarded as publishing in another journal.

In some areas like theoretical physics people read mostly arXiv.
It does help to shift content control away from publishers.
The article goes deep into the differing perspectives and cultures in Washington and SV, and talks about solutions too.

> Why is there a cult following when fraud and employee abuse is common?

Musk can present an image of a successful multiple entrepreneur who is working towards a vision that many support arrayed against a forces of Big Bad Incumbents who would rather squash him than compete fairly. Thus he is responsible for all the good things, and the bad things are just smear campaigns that should be ignored.

Essentially, it's the same force that fuels the rise of people like Trump, just applied to a different part of the political spectrum.
So, who is “Tend Insights”, and what are they going to do with all that video information you give them?
Not to mention recognizing individual letters. The difference between “a” and “b” in Latin alphabet is drastic. In dotsies you could only tell them apart if other letters near them give you relative height of the dots to some baseline.

Dotsies seem to make a tradeoff where they optimize for higher information density at the cost of much higher error rate (or requirement for precision and accuracy if you will). I also definitely see your point about font sizes. Basically it’s a valiant attempt at a reimagined alphabet but I don’t think it actually achieves higher info density in the real world.
This is disingenuous. The Obama campaign had massive data access from Facebook in 2012, but the outcry does happen until the “other guy” wins?

https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/facebook-data-...

If Hillary Clinton would have won, would this even be a story? It’s an honest question. It seems that outrage is directly proportional to how much the “correct” side benefits as opposed to the principles being espoused.
If Imagination didn't win, CEVA would have been a much better fit for MIPS. IMG might have been better off focusing on something else ( But judging from their management direction and execution I doubt they would have survived long anyway )

I think only Cavium and Broadcom are the biggest supporter of MIPS, not sure if there are any other heavyweight, but both have in recent years diverged to ARMv8.

I think the most interesting part is open sources includes DSP and SIMD.
Furthermore, GCP encrypts its disks by default. So I'd expect a slight degradation of performance.

"If the industry and government would reach a solution that would enable access that doesn't go to removing electronic protection, and doesn't attract that prohibition against systemic weaknesses and vulnerabilities, if the industry player was mindful to challenge that, there's a very robust judicial review process in Australia," Ingle said.

"They can very well go to the courts and determine that arguably this notice is not reasonable, proportionate, technically feasible, [or] practical, or say that it will introduce a systemic vulnerability, and is therefore unlawful."

That's fine for Google and Apple. Where is a bootstraped or VC-funded communications startup supposed to find the money for that particular legal battle?

The answer is that they avoid the whole scenario by not starting said startup in Australia or hiring any Australian employees.
Do you really think it would be easy to convert 10% of the people who were excited by a product that it was illegal for them to announce? Almost all of that 600k is going to be darn angry about it. As a member of the 600k, I am WAY less inclined to give them my money than I ever was before.
Decision tree models are trained by a machine learning algorithm that a human implemented. DTrees don't create new algorithms, they are calculated/trained through the application of an algorithm on data.

You can find these DTree-generating algorithms in any decent machine learning algorithm textbook, and you can execute the steps by hand. For example, on page 56 (or pdf page 68) of [0], you can step through the ID3 decision tree algorithm. At no point is a new algorithm generated.

This is Tim's personal blog, that he's been writing for well over a decade (that I recall). And since long before he joined Amazon.

If it makes you feel better, he built his own blogging system, way back when. And sometimes, if ain't broke, don't...

At times, he's talked about his contemporaneous work to various extents; that's been increasingly influenced by NDA's and employment contracts/agreements and whatnot, is my impression, although I haven't been reading him much, lately.

Another reason to keep his personal blog separate from his work life, including perhaps where and how it's hosted.

The first claim has nothing to do with anything I said.

The second is false; organizations like AIPAC and the ADL have by far the greatest influence on US Israeli policy and fighting BDS in particular, and are overwhelmingly Jewish dominated.

This was thoroughly documented by Mearsheimer and Walt more than a decade ago, and it's not like their influence has waned.
