Reading your comment again, I see some distortions:

> "I do not need to succeed in those."

You don't NEED to succeed. Most people go on many interview to find a job!

> "There is no person watching over me and everything I do"

Like I've said the interview isn't going to be watching everything you do. I can tell you from experience that a lot of your interviewers are bored and thinking of other things. You're not under a microscope.

> "And if I fail, I learn from it and have the ability to try again."

Why doesn't this apply to interviews? :)

I really did love linear algebra in college. Shame I’ve not made it more a part of my career.

I imagine this totally missed the data science stuff.

King is being maliciously misleading with his statements.

He is implying causation, but no scientist actually believes that the world will be uninhabitable by 2100. That is the opinion of the experts.

"Scam" is unfair, at least if directed towards motivations. The whole thing is entirely well-meaning. But it's yet another consequence of the emerging pop culture of stupidity (the rebellion against expertise, no-knowledge crowd-funding, etc). Everyone in the maritime world always knew it would never work because it was based on a naive kid's brain dump. For fuck's sake, the initial plan was to anchor the bloody thing! Slat's excellent intentions don't equip him to design & manage a $20mil project.
Is that supposed to be a pun on "navel" and "naval"? Ouch.
You didn't understand me. Yes, the info is demanded by the government (or whatever authority), the purpose is to ensure that the funds were clean & that the car complies with whatever regulation. What I'm saying is that there is technology available to both prove that the funds are clean and regulations are met without revealing the details that should only be between the buyer and seller.
I wonder if electron apps brought the same fear in the author; and how he views slack or vscode in the pantheon of Mac apps. Ok not slack. But vscode compares very well to say xcode
So what’s the best way to take these things out if we’re not comfortable firing bullets (reasonable). I would think other drones casting wide nets might work?
Aside from the usefulness: True, my GPS data can be used to trace information about me (where I eat, who I meet, which doctor or prostitute I visit etc.) however I believe that conversation I have attached home are more private and reveal notably more about me than those things derived from GPS as I might discuss the exact condition and state or explicit preferences in other regards.
A proper repl seems the first step to start building such interactive/iterative tooling; F# has one so maybe that is a better start than C# for this?

C#.NET Core suffers (as far as I know) from this;

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47394231/csharpscript-us...

I think Mono has a solution, but as far as I know .NET Core basically is unusable for scripting because of this for C# which makes the kind of scenario you want basically impossible from the get go.

It is a bit weird not more attention is given to it given so many people ache for an interactive C# environment, especially for this purpose, but also for faster iteration with Xamarin on iOS/Android etc (all of my colleagues would save a lot of time on development with this for Xamarin mobile dev especially).

If that has been fixed, there is still the lack of libraries but that and the rest of what is needed is at least not basically impossible to solve by mere mortals.
> The database also contained passwords, which were stored as an MD5 hash

!!!
> Kim denied this. “We don’t use MD5 for our passwords to store them,” he said. “The MD5 keys were a log and it does not represent how we are managing data. We use more advanced methods like salted hash and SHA2 on securing users’ data in our database.”

!!!!!!
Another question would be what it decomposes into.
It is really strange to see that, when a US company or one goverment department doing something, we call it by its name or its branch, but when a Chinese company or a department doing something affect copyright or anything wrong (there's no exuse for that I know) but we summerise it as "China". I am working in a Chinese company right now, this mentality really affects some good Chinese company out there to do some fair business.
I think in addition to this an aggregator, you also need a website that helps create an RSS feed for each user while simultaneously abstracting that notion away. Thanks for the pointer though :)
Adobe and Autodesk have done that countless of times. Eg: Fireworks, Freehand, etc.
just fyi, nearly all government projects are contracted out to your accenture's, deloitte's, and booz allen's. most government agencies don't carry out and execute, they just put up the RFP and take whichever one greases the committee members best. that's usually how an actual 4-week front end project turns into a 40-person, 12-week contract.
I imagine Corel survives from its hardcore fans... but why would it buy Parallels?
>You are all demonstrating you don't know how FR works, nor the article author. FR is a technology that helps to identify, it is not "the authority" and was never intended as such - but hard explaining that to any journalist, or people predisposed by fear journalism.

I'm not afraid of facial recognition. I fear what "the authority" can do with such a system, both intentionally and accidentally. High false positive rates may be necessary to get the best facial recognition, but they're also a reason to oppose facial recognition.
My ideal social media was FriendFeed, and yes it was in many ways similar to an RSS feed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FriendFeed
I have used Google Fi all over North and some of South America and the speeds have been reasonable to good. I find support a cut above typical phone company support, at least in terms of politeness and directness - but that's frankly a pretty low bar.
When I volunteered to run a caucus in a Nevada primary election, decks of playing cards were distributed for the purpose of breaking any ties. Luckily, we didn't reach that resort in my precinct.
why are intermural athletics considered a superior way of encouraging those skills rather than funneling kids into community-based independent leagues? if anything i think the potential benefits of getting kids to practice teamwork & build friendships in a non age segregated environment would better reflect the realities of the workplace & society as a whole. we spend so many resources turning schools into their own enclosed ecosystems rather than using them as a means to encourage apprenticeship within the larger community where people are actually going to be utilized.
The brits are not sending their best apparently.
Yeah if Y Combinator chooses to never do business in the EU (considering one of their companies is Afrostream who does business in the EU, this may be up for debate), they may be able to get away with it. My company only targets US citizens and EU citizens would never get any value of any kind in any way at all from my business, so GDPR is not on my radar. But YC might have a harder time making that claim.
Sounds good, so long as we include products of traditional genetic modification techniques, like selective breeding, and slap a severity degree on there to account for the number of genes edited in the process (or perhaps deviation from a reference genotype?). If consumers want to know, shouldn't they be entitled to know?
I wouldn't finance it and rather spend money on other projects where I'd expect larger impact. Nonetheless each bit of trash taken out is a good piece of trash taken out. Grabbing even just one piece of trash while on a beach is good.

A concern I see however is more on negative impact on small bacterial, algaes and other things on the ocean's surface which are part of the lifecycle of bird and fish. But that's not really an area of expertise for me.
Polly wanna drone? https://youtu.be/kAYVyj6vf3Y
This project will never work or collect anything... For anyone interested, it was clear from the start that tHis is indeed a PR stunt designed to collect money...

The only way to stop polluting is to start with a ban on single use plastics...
I recall some airport was using trained hawks to hunt down drones. I wonder what happened with that approach.
There is only so much money and energy in the world. Wasting resources on doomed projects doesn't help. It only takes away resources from far more efficient projects. Most ocean plastic comes form a limited number of sources, a handful of large rivers. Cleanup should begin at those rivers. This project is like someone cleaning the coal ash off the forest rather than prevent it from getting there in the first place.

Within seconds I check what time it is. I check to see if my wife left any notes about how my newborn or toddler slept. I check to see if my dad wants lunch today. I check to see what the weather will be.

One of my biggest fears is being aged out of software development as I am almost 40. Over the last year I've been casually looking for a new job while currently employed. Yes I know its not the same, but bear with me. By November I had not yet found a new job and the culture at my current workplace had taken a turn for the worse. I began to worry that I was getting too old for the market. I never contemplated suicide, but I was scared. This is what I did.

1. Setup personally customized email alerts for all the job sites I could find.

2. Sent resumes out every day.

3. I worked on myself. Nearly every day since I've solved leetcode problems, wrote open source software, learned Kotlin, relearned the fundamentals of functional programming, sharpened my python, bought a book on ML and wrote a series of jupyter notebooks working through the standard ML models.

I had many interviews during this time. For some of them I was horribly unprepared, but I used those failures to figure out what I had to know the next time. Within the last week I've received 3 offers. Yesterday I accepted one making great money, working from home, for a company I believe in.

Please fight the fear and keep grinding.
It's also hard to imagine sound as a dominant interface because all we have are mediocre examples. We have to work within clunky command boundaries, rephrase commands, be in a quiet environment, not have an accent, etc.

I'm glad we're making progress, but I'll be a skeptic until I can give voice requests as naturally as I'd give them to a human. IMO there's no limit from there.

New Horizons on Final Approach to Ultima
Are you working on making actual hardware like smart speakers?

I'm only asking because this would definitely help spread this kind of platform. Raspberry 3, despite being great, is not something the average Joe will mess it.

There needs to be a physical product with Snip.ai on it that people can put in their home. Something sleek and well designed, not some Rasp 3 in a case with some mic attached with duct tape.
Technically it's free, if you wait long enough. If you wanted to be free of their influence then enough money to relocate into space or another planet without volcanoes. If you wanted to get rid of volcanoes on Earth then your best chances would likely be to try and slow the rotation of the Earth by sapping angular momentum, expensive and slow but it should work I think!
Interesting article. I have never heard of Keyhole before. Was that acquisition discussed a lot when Google bought them and shipped Google Earth?
A lot of compression ends up being compress once, decompress one to a few times, so the faster end of the spectrum fits well. Additionally, compression has to fit into the existing system, and existing systems already have tight constraints, so it is an easier sell to say "hey, we can compress faster AND stronger" than what you have right now. For our larger services, we will tune the compression level more carefully, and end up at different places for different services, but still normally around the faster levels.

That said, we still see users of the stronger compression levels.
Something like DroneShield? Anyone know whether those things are effective or just a gimmick?
The US is such a weird country. They probably have the best free speech protection in the world, for which I admire them, but then they do this kind of stuff. They sometimes are an example in freedom and sometimes they're the complete opposite.
But I have no desire to go to the station door. I want to go to my destination. From my door to my office door. Or from my door to my friends door. I have zero interest in going to some station to use an outdated mode of transport when I can have a modern and cheap AI car take me directly to where I'm trying to go
I'm guessing the problem is that making the drone fall out of the sky is not safe either, in the general case. So either a bird that will grab a drone and return to the handler, or some kind of way of scooping up the drone in a net held by multiple drones seem like the best options. It's an asymmetric situation.
To us this seems very easy and I too have designed my own portfolio webpage for instance, but really do you think my nearly 80-yo grandpa or even my peer and best friend from high school who has those pesky 12-hour nursing shifts between all of her downtime has the ability or more importantly cares to do this? the desire and wherewithal to design a webpage is still a very niche interest.
What's wrong with a todo app? I'm about to embark on making one, with React, so I can have a completely private, bespoke todo app that's tailored precisely to what I want and need.
I think the key difference is the focused attention and brain bandwidth to spend. Traditional way is way more efficient but requires more of that - you need to do a relatively long sequence of actions, coordinated to the goal. Using voice, there is no sequence, and it doesn't matter how many times you need to try and to repeat the same simple phrase - you spend no additional bandwidth with every repeat.

The voice way is like writing the simple add-mupltiply loop in C, and UI way is like writing the same in assembly (using vector extensions). Assuming you know how to do it very well, writing assembly code for that loop wouldn't be even longer to do. And you don't have a 100% chance the compiler will do the right thing with unrolling and vectorizing in this particular case, but most of the time you check the output and try another compiler options until it do the right thing, and only after a bunch of tries you finally resort to assembly. That's basic energy-conserving optimization present in people's firmware in their brain.
As far as guitar tube amps go - check out a Kemper Profiler or Fractal Audio system, it's pretty much there. That said, I'd take the pure simplicity of a nice tube amp any day.
I prefer to do it every night before going to bed. I like to feel like I'm choosing to get up at that time, as opposed to being under a pre-ordained schedule. (Which, of course, it is, but perception matters.)
A polite eulogy for some terrible celebrity apps
Great piece this. The Ex is a Dutch band I'd recommend to anyone who is into Fugazi. They have a similar philosophy towards music production with a more noise/post-punk aesthetic.
If it can get economical, it won't (at least, not for a while). There are interesting cases of companies trying to make shoe products from ocean plastic (or perhaps it's shoreline plastic before it reaches the ocean, I can't really tell, but that's still helpful too). Adidas is the most marketable, but as I understand it, a few other companies are doing something similar, while some other companies aren't sourcing ocean plastic, but are sourcing water bottles.

Doesn't that rather depend on the job? A senior position, yes; but why would a New York company spend two grand bringing someone in when they've got qualified applicants lining up out the door?
Almost every language has this. Its called idioms, and I am fascinated by them. Some examples in English: "wet your whistle", "cost you an arm and a leg", "basket case", "bite the bullet", "for a song".

Is going back an option? I know it's hard to swallow your pride and employers have a wide range of policies on this, but some will be glad to get a knowledgeable long term employee back if there was no ill-will when you left.
This sounds like a community Wikipedia – keep me updated though!
I’m glad to hear at least they don’t seem to be storing ip addresses.
I don't see any problem with that, as long as it doesn't attempt to conflate selective breeding with modern genetic engineering. If it were labeled "selective breeding" or "modified by traditional selective breeding methods" or something, then I think that's entirely clear what it is.
It's very hard to find a good recruiter, though. Some of the ones I've used just started shotgunning a list of job titles and companies at me.
That's fair and it's a good idea. I'll make sure we update the docs to be more clear. Ml.net does enable retraining TF models too so will make sure we publish examples too

This is amazing, thanks for sharing!

(I too grew up in DC and smoked a lot of adolescent cigarettes while trying to look cool on the Fort Reno lawn)
I take issue with this idea that pedophilia has been "growth-hacked" (stupid term BTW).

Like what? Does no one who looked at this article (before publishing) have any idea how the internet works? Do they have this wonderful illusion that just because something is made slightly easier to access that it suddenly boosts how many pedophiles in the world? Little Johnny doesn't just browse a WhatsApp directory listing and say, "You know what? I've never really wanted to see children abused but now that there's a nice 'Adult' section containing this sort of content... I think I'm a pedophile now!" Anyone viewing that crap voluntarily was a pedophile to begin with, and like every single one of them, public castration should be an acceptable form of punishment (legalize it).

CP (a known abbreviation) has been circulated on the world wide web since the first big wave wherein more than a few thousand people were using it (back before it was referred to as the 'internet'). Hell i remember accidentally running across several images in my early teen years (when I was moderating for a forum), surprise surprise, it didn't "growth-hack" that vile garbage into my life, you know what it did? It ruined my day that's what it dig, and I absolutely hated the fact that I even saw that, it made me want to never see it again! Flagged for deletion, offender's account was terminated, and a report was filed (with the authorities).

It was also around this time that me and some of my friends decided to have some fun on IRC, I was bored enough that I would often troll IRC for hours, found several questionable channels, where RP (a known abbreviation) was huge and a few of the members were looking for someone to RP as... well children. Yikes! So... we didn't RP, what we did was act like real 12 yr. olds just to mess with them, and after a while of conversing, we'd sometimes get these creeps to get on a greyhound and make a trip (several times across the country) to send them to non-existent meetings, often humorously sending them to a place right across from a police station or whatever we thought was funniest.

Innocent fun I'd say, but anyway, more to the point of the article. No this does not "growth-hack" pedophilia, it just makes it all the more apparent that people are not inherently good and it's stupid to think you can stop the rot. Though I do support the push to limit this as much as possible, though I'd like to see arrests, I'd like to see these bastards rot in prison till they drop dead, and any solution that just covers up the issue without actual consequences for the offenders does not get my consideration. Children are our future, they must be protected.
Sounds like they don’t give a shit and only reacted when TC was going to write a story about it. Surprising given that user trust is at the core of their business, and without it they have nothing.

How we relaunched Zumper on React
Pretty cool.

Fugazi often played non-traditional venues in thier home town of Washington, D.C.

And in other locales, too. I saw them at a church in Harvard Square, Cambridge, Mass. in 1989. At the time there were a dozen clubs in the Boston area that could have gladly hosted the band (TT the Bears, the Channel, the Rat, Bunratties, etc) but at the time Fugazi had this thing -- I think dating from MacKaye's Minor Threat days -- about only doing shows where kids could see them for $5, without age restrictions. No clubs could go that low, or insisted on 21+, so Fugazi did the show at the church.

It was an awesome show.
the vast majority of the fentanyl that's killing 70,000+ people a year in the US is manufactured in China. The Chinese government has done next to nothing to prevent this

There's also a TV series: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7210448/ and a book by the same name: https://www.amazon.com/Strange-Angel-Otherworldly-Scientist-....

I work as a programmer in Canada, get descent pay, can afford to buy a house and take my family to vacation.

Hyacinthe Rigaud's famous 1701 painting of Louis XIV clearly shows Quatorze wearing red, high-healed shoes. Why doesn't that bounder, Christian Louboutin, go and sue the sun king's ghost? Or is that not how prior art works?

While SSHA2 isnt that bad if they’ve applied a work factor, but that’s probably not the case.
