I think that there will be modest growth whereas the demand for software engineers will probably increase by an order of magnitude. Salary will be the same or a little lower than normal software engineers. Why? Security outside of very specialized companies is a cost center (and one which typically decreases productivity of the rest of the company). My suspicion is that even while compliance becomes a bigger issue, the additional security and compliance responsibilities will be mostly absorbed by traditional IT, sysadmin and devops roles in conjunction with added services/products like StrongDM or Teleport where traditional needs are managed in a good way with much stronger support for compliance and security.

Part of the problem is that many of the security jobs are fairly basic and don't do a great job of developing skill sets. A common role I see is an IAM engineer, which to me always sounds like a position for a junior engineer, but really seems to be a mid-level or senior-level position for security engineers. These roles can easily be absorbed into traditional IT or devops roles
The package manager should have regression tests that test for linking breakage, etc before installing, pinning is just a lazy solution.

>It’s an objectively bad car.

How is it an objectively bad car? Have you driven it? All the early impressions are quite positive and you can argue however you want it not being a Supra (it's also much cheaper than the old A80), but you literally cannot call it objectively bad without actually mentioning why.

It looks good inside out, is priced reasonably, seems to have a good chassis tuning and is fairly quick with a great engine, so what's wrong with it?

I have a friend who is a Physical Therapist and she showed me a few of the online tools that she uses. A lot of these tools, even the ones that are very successful, have out dated UIs, are difficult to use, and are not really liked by the majority of other therapists (from what I am told).

I see this as an opportunity to come in and make something better, but coming from a background in Software Engineering, it isn't very straight forward. My friend isn't interested in getting involved in any kind of project.

I was just wondering if any of you have had an experience like this? How would you approach something like this?

> It is irelevant to point out the consequences

It's pretty relevant, because the UK government doesn't have Parliamentary support for either of the alternatives, given Brexit, to the the thing they say they won't do, and also seems (though surprises are possible) to be likely to prevent Brexit from being derailed even if they can't pass a Brexit deal. So it's quite likely that we’re heading to a Brexit with none of the choices regarding the Irish border being politically viable.
>Not EV, not Hybrid,

Jesus the EV crusaders are annoying. Thank god this car isn't an EV or hybrid, and I say that as a Model 3 owner.

Obviously you struggle to understand a market that you have neither appreciation nor understanding of. Hint hint: people buy sports cars to have fun in their own ways, and currently there are no hybrid/EVs that's light and agile enough to be called a true sports car.

Beautifully and concisely explained!
The two of you are asserting different hypotheses than the OP presented: diminishing returns != decreasing returns. The Google paper found that increased amounts of data always improved performance, but did so at a lower rate the more data that had already been provided. First derivatives vs. second.

The headline of this article is "More data is not better", which is a stronger claim than diminishing returns - it's neutral or negative returns.
Interesting move. If major projects within Facebook are migrating away it seems pretty likely that Flow is on the way out.

Which I think would be a good thing, it seems like a lot of projects and libraries haven't fully embraced either because it's unclear which to choose. In this case I don't think the "competition makes them better" aspect outweighs the downsides of having a fragmented community.

From what I understand, the 3rd/4th gen Supras were such a draw because of the engine. It was an I6 which meant that it could withstand higher RPMs more easily than a V6 (all cylinders moving along the same axis) and it was a cast iron block (no aluminum). This made it exceedingly more capable of withstanding high loads than other engines. Apparently, just by installing a larger turbo and a better camshaft, along with tuning some of the valve timings, it was possible to get 700+hp out of the engine. 1000+ was common and I've heard of people going over 1500HP.

I don't know much about the new engine but I'm assuming this won't be possible here?

At least from what I've seen red/green (I've heard blue/green) or A/B deployments represent a different thing. A blue/green deployment says you have 2 environments, each able to handle all of your traffic. So you have 2x the servers you need running, and move traffic between environments to upgrade. Its double buffering, but with binary versions.

The (traffic) canarying process that Google and Netflix use, and that is described in this article is distinct from that, since you don't need a significant amount of overhead.

> The results were consistent with asymptotic theory (central limit theorem) that predicts that more data has diminishing returns.

That's not asymptotic theory or central limit theorem. It's a meek proposition that you learn to prove in first semester when studying math. A bounded and monotonous function will always converge.

> Higher velocity data does not improve percentage accuracy and makes accuracy levels worse!

What on earth is this supposed to mean? An ML algorithm doesn't care about how fast data "arrives". "Higher velocity" is marketing lingo related to their Kinesis Data Streams service. But I assume that he refers to the usual loss of performance observed with all online-learning algos. Feeding knowledge one by one will mostly just overwrite learned generalizations. Or maybe he is indicating that they are compromising algo quality for faster execution.

> It is important to pick a single metric to improve, even if it is not perfect, but to use it as the basis for measuring performance improvement.

I think that is wrong. Single metrics never capture complex behavior well and will lead to distortions if fed back to the system. I mean it's normal to use one metric for the error. But saying this is the real deal sounds ridiculous to me as this is being done most of the time anyway and probably is going to change in the future. Backprop only works with one metric at the moment - that's just the fact.

> Pat noted that improvement and learning is often very slow – sort of like a slow weight loss program, where you lose weight very slowly. Processes may only be improving by 20 basis points a quarter, or 80 basis points a year. That isn’t a lot, but over a decade, it really makes a difference.

Now he's contradicting himself as he gives a reason for why big data is beneficial.

> His final word of advice – students should be broad in their knowledge of a lot of things, but need to be very deep in one area.

And again he is contradicting himself. Because if you make an analogy from student to a learning algorithm he now gives TWO orthogonal metrics to optimize for.
How does one treat a battery poorly?

I mean, I know in the abstract sense that it's ideal if they ever get fully drained and, but that's not all that catastrophic. I'd consider it normal use in most cases—if manufacturers don't want the charge to ever dip that low, they should make the battery stop working earlier.

But that's mostly true of any consumer-level involvement of any very large organization. It doesn't matter if it's Apple, Greenpeace, or the Libertarian Party.

> Apple/Google/Exxon, etc. have far more money to send on political speech than any other organized group of people.

Probably, but while money is helpful to getting your message out, it's not the only important things. Worse funded candidates beat better funded opponents. If anything, incumbent advantages seem more important and worrisome.

But with a more principled perspective, there isn't a mechanism by which free speech rights can be curtailed just because someone is especially resourced. If so, shouldn't we also criticize white collar professional societies for doctors, lawyers, realtors, and the like? They're much more capable of lobbying than associations of dishwashers (as if kitchen staff had time and energy for that).

I think the other thing with Airbnb vs hotels;

1) I find with Airbnb I'm more likely to get lower quality from expectations to what is received.

2) Hotels are better are redressing issues whereas AirBnB doesn't seem to care, and you can't really say to Airbnb I want another room type thing on the spot either.

3) For price, I think it's cheaper for groups most of the time. When traveling alone for work I'd say I use it 30-50% for the cost benefit vs hotel.

Another issue is I feel I can't give honest reviews. As if say every 3rd or 4th place is below par I suspect people wont accept you if they see you give a bunch of brutally honest reviews, so I tend to give nice reviews so it leaves my booking options open for when I do use it.

I very rarely see TypeScript developers actually use `any` (usually to reflect something like something parsed from arbitrary JSON that needs to be interrogated rather than just type-asserted) and in my experience it's a rare shop that doesn't use `strict` for everything to at least force it to be called out and checked in code review.

`undefined` and `null` seem conventionally used to mean different things amongst the TypeScript developers I know. `null` is typically used to denote something that is consciously known to be nonexistent; `undefined` is not rarely, in my experience, used at all except as a check against something coming in from untyped modules. I'm sure there are people who honor this more in the breach than the observance, but this is pretty consistent in my experience.

Personally, I've moved to TypeScript for most of my personal projects, away from both Ruby and C#, and it's fantastic. (Some things remain more appropriate for the JVM, typically Kotlin, but that's OK, too.)
Yeah... its kind of amazing

The headline isn't consistent with the article itself, which states (somewhat confusingly):

* As the number of product data grows, the benefits were negligible

* More observations per product was important

* The results were consistent with asymptotic theory (central limit theorem) that predicts that more data has diminishing returns.

In any case, this seems to be a case of "diminishing returns."

>I think Toyota and BMW are nuts to think this model will draw any 718 Cayman buyers. Who is seriously going to pass on the Porsche PDK (or manual transmission) and mid-rear engine for a front engine and torque converter?

So I've driven many versions of the ZF8, honestly even though it's not Porsche PDK, it's still very capable and I prefer the newer ones to the DCT in my F80 M3. Hell, even the new M5 uses the ZF8 transmission now and dumped the DCT.

sheepishly raises hand.

I mean, it's quicker than a base model 718 while being much better equipped and is about half the price of a equally equipped 718S. If money is no objection whatsoever then sure, 718 all the way, but unfortunately that's not the case for most people, even sports car buyers.

That's fine & I agree that the climate is changing. If you don't believe me re: the fossil fuel industry appropriating the "climate change" movement, look at who funds various studies & organizations that are major players in the dissemination of climate change science. There's a grain of truth, but these organizations seek to "get ahead of the story" so it can influence the population with a narrative of it's choosing.

Are you aware of the "grand solar minimum" which has recently begun? The sun will be emitting less heat, which will result in Earth having a lower temperature. Historically, this has led to significantly less crop yields, more ice, colder temperatures (especially is Europe and NE United States). Heightened warfare (due to resource limitation/competition) & Mass disease (e.g. the bubonic plague) are another consequence. Empires (e.g. Rome) have collapsed during periods of solar dimming, so be prepared; Winter is Coming!

While there may be some anthropomorphic global warming from CO2, it will not offset the reduction of heat from the Sun. Also note the plethora of other anthropomorphic effects which are not talked about as often, such as Atmospheric Aerosol Injection & weather modification technologies. Atmospheric Aerosol Injection uses sulfates, which increase the flammability of forests due to being highly flammable & killing/weakening vegetation. There's plenty of f*ckery that is not reported...
