The one thing that I hate about 'half assed' comments when people refer to the unix shell is that the half ass really refers to users knowledge of how to actually construct efficient pipelines. How many times I've seen 'cat frick.csv | sed 's/foo/bar/g' | sort -n | uniq | cut -d "," -f 3' type nonsense masquerading as deeply effective and efficient extraction and transformation is mind blowing. Your example included.

Why not? If they charged a flat rate at launch, domain speculators would snatch up all the valuable domains and you'll have to buy it from them at an inflated price. At least with this system google is pocketing the premium rather than third parties.

I don't understand why you went back to using a scooter, if you were so clearly able to diagnose the dangers, and had one fairly severe injury. Why not switch to a commuter bike (the ~1 ft wheel foldable ones)?

Also, separate question, my understanding is that potholes are mainly formed by freeze/thaw cycles -- weather not typically found in SF. Have you lived in Chicago or NYC? Can you contrast the pothole density between those three cities?

Upgrade the version of the browser to an approved version by obtaining software from the vendor or other trusted source. Method 1: View the following registry key: HKLM\Software\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox\CurrentVersion Method 2: Search for the firefox.exe file using the search feature of the operating system. Examine the files properties for the product version (not the file version. For Windows OS, determine the version of the file by examining navigating to Properties/Version/Product Version. Examine for all instances of firefox.exe that are present on the endpoint. Criteria: If the version number of the firefox.exe file is less than 50.1.x (or ESR 45.7.x), this is a finding.

How about clicking on "About Firefox" in the menu? "Other trusted source" - like softonic, yes?
I downvoted it for making the unhinged argument that a poor KDF is a feature because it encourages users to select better passwords.

The Challenge of Reforming Nutritional Epidemeological Research (2018) [pdf]
At least some people in the TWIT podcast family have repeated many times the idea that Brin or Page had at one point said early on that "advertising ruins things" and this wasn't their initial goal.

I don't know if the information is true, but I know I've heard it more than once.
The idea that regulation is the primary constraint on housing supply seems at odds with the fundamental assumption regarding real-estate markets: land owners seek the 'highest and best' use of their holdings. In the US, housing is generally a 'lower and worser' use. Usually above agriculture and often below transportation infrastructure. Hence, housing was never on the table for the HP campus that became Apple's spaceship.

Even where housing is the highest and best use, affordable housing is a 'lower and worser' use when 'affordable' means below market rate. 300 units of luxury housing requires about the same resources as 300 units of 'affordable' housing. And more work to secure financing (e.g. tax credit syndication and competitive application processes), more entitlement work in NIMBY local politics, and results in lower gross revenue with which developer fees are often correlated.

To put it another way, the rational economic model dictates that a 0.10 probability/year of selling a parcel for $10 million based on commercial use trumps a 0.13 probability/year for $5 million sale based on residential use. Of course the model needs to be more nuanced. With commercial uses the sky is the limit. There's some probability of a commercial sale at $50 million, e.g. when part of a multi-parcel acquisition or in other circumstances where the value of the parcel is determined by economic activity rather than resale.

The rational actor economic model implies that converting undeveloped or obsolescent commercial property to residential use is always unlikely. It's only a no-brainer the extreme obsolescence and high residential prices of lower Manhattan that industrial buildings get downgraded to residential lofts. At the other end, money parked in agricultural land is likely to have higher returns when the land use is upgraded to a commercial or industrial use than to a residential use. Even land upgraded to a residential use, is likely to provide higher returns from an upgrade to high end dwellings than affordable housing.
McCarthy and his team published a lot of stuff. As for Python, Lisp was defined together with a reference implementation.

See the Lisp 1 programmer's manual from 1960:

This is off the top of my head.

When you want to filter some data you often start by defining the response you're after, for example for a sub-woofer output you might want a low-pass filter that cuts off frequencies higher than 250 Hz.

Then you use some math to figure out the filter coefficients that will give you that response. For many (all?) filters you can get away with far fewer coefficients, often orders of magnitude like 4 vs 1024, if you go for an IIR filter rather than a FIR filter. This of course makes it far cheaper computationally to implement.

IIR filters have some downsides though compared to FIR, for one an impulse "never goes away" (at least in theory) since there's always some of it begin fed back into the next step. It's also difficult to make them have linear phase response, which can be important in certain settings.

As others mention, Neptune is based on Blazegraph. It is a layer on top of Amazon Aurora and has the typical graph layer issues I mention my blog post (in particular the join depth problem).

No. But this is the same with ballot or mail votes in Switzerland, identity is not verified. So in theory you could fake paper voter cards already today, but it's difficult to scale this onto a useful level.

The verification system for the proposed eVoting system works with verification codes individual to a voter. So even if you and I vote YES on a certain topic we will have different verification codes.
If by "law of supply and demand" you mean the postulate that supply is monotonically increasing and demand is monotonically decreasing with price, then you'll have a hard time finding any product that strictly adheres to it.

What economists call by that name is just a notation that carries no predictive power.

There is a source for this from Newsweek at the bottom of the original article. It’s been reported by the BBC as well.
I've read it in high school and was truly fascinated with which elegance and simplicity the book approached some of the most complex math problems. Of course it just scratched the surface but partially because of this book I chose the Math Department. And our school teacher recommended Courant-Robbins to all the students in a class, many of which actually joined Math Dept too. So, it might be not just me. :)
We have a lot of respect for the work that the KubeFlow team is doing. Their focus seems to be on helping you deploy a wide variety of open source ML tooling to Kubernetes. We use a more narrow stack and focus more on automating common workflows.

For example, we take a fully declarative approach; the “cortex deploy” command is a request to “make it so”, rather than “run this training job”. Cortex determines at runtime exactly what pipeline needs to be created to achieve the desired state, caching as aggressively as it can (e.g. if a hyperparameter to one model changes, only that model is re-trained and re-deployed, whereas if a transformer is updated, all transformed_columns which use that transformer are regenerated, all models which use those columns are re-trained, etc). We view it as an always-on ML application, rather than a one-off ML workload.

It's a bullshit calculation. It's putting federal minimum wage against the latest rents in urban areas, while maintaining the "you should only spend 30% of your income on rent" mantra.

In reality, people in urban areas earn more than federal minimum wage, they spend more than 30% of their income on rent and they don't necessarily live alone in one-bedroom apartments, which is always disproportionately expensive. They're also not working 2.5 jobs, unless it's part time jobs.

This. I still recall this exciting feeling of realizing how I'm chatting in real-time with dozens of people from all over the country. Also how edonkey and then emule were all the rage. Downloading all the music and movies, no worries about copyright, vbulletin boards where you'd discuss how to tweak your emule to reach a few KB/s more. Waiting days until the camrip of the latest movie finally finished - blue screen, file gone, start over, burn rsvcd which is way better than mvcd. No divx because the DVD player can't handle it.

I don't need to imagine. If you work that minimum wage job for ONE DAY, you'll have 100 bucks in your pocket. You know what you can do with that money? You can buy a ten year old enterprise grade server that's been decommissioned and is for sale on eBay, with free shipping. Now you go on /r/homelab and get free help to get it up and running. All the software is free.

There are always excuses, but let's not sit here and pretend like things are more difficult now than they were before. They've never been easier and we've never had as much opportunity.

When I was growing up, any capable computer, used or new, was $3k and there was no internet, no help, and no free software.
My guess would be that this isn't primarily about the money (there are probably domains they could get more than $11,500 for), but rather about allocating the most in-demand domains in a way that reflects how badly people want them. A Dutch-auction-type thing like they're doing is a crude solution to this problem, but if they just went straight to GA too much valuable real estate would immediately be claimed by squatters and trolls.
Depending on your level of math ability you can often learn a lot by reading textbooks and proofs very carefully and closely (my opinion)

Switzerland manages to hold state-wide votes four times a year, usually combined with local topics, with a paper/ballot based system quite well. Voting more often than every 4 or 5 years is not a reason to introduce eVoting.

But then, for grown-up democratic countries with a stable political system, hardly anything is a reason to introduce eVoting :-)

Sure, there is a wage problem. My issue with the way the cost of one-bedroom apartment is calculated. It is based on the HUD fair market rents (FMRs) at the "40th percentile of rents that a family can be expected to pay". That means that 39% of one-bedroom apartments are cheaper than the rate given. If minimum wage people are supposed to have a 40% apartment, who is supposed to live in the 1-39% apartments, middle class?

I expect the lowest 10% of wage earners to live in the lowest 10% apartments. I'd like to see what these numbers would show then.

US here: I'm baffled by the assumption that every single job must pay enough for a 1BR apt. When I was 14, I worked in fast food, and never expected to be able to afford anything other than hobby dollars.

We have a shortage of totally-unskilled jobs that can support a family if both parents work, and that has translated into calls for things like increased minimum wage.

But there is not a shortage of jobs for those willing to put a year or two into trade training, and those often pay well enough to buy a home in a small town.

Many of the fastest growing jobs (bls.gov)[1] pay well over $10/hr and require little a priori skills.

Here you can make 2-4 times that with no education [2]

And here you can take 2 years of school to get a job that pays quite well[3]. Well enough to easily buy your own home and remain employed in a fast-growing sector for life. In some communities, those two years are paid for as long as you go to tech school in the same district you went to high-school in.

This minimum wage argument hides the real opportunities. Re-training and education is the key.

Everything about every person, living or dead, is known in near real-time.

Seisent (bought by LexisNexus) was being used to solve cold cases in the mid naughts. Just by using fragmentary data and sifting thru millions of demographic profiles to see who matched.

[FWIW, that "What data brokers know" table is pretty good.]

--

If we choose to protect people's privacy, give individuals control over what is publicly known about them, we'll need to encrypt demographic data at rest.

Meaning translucent database strategies. Just like how password files are salted and then encrypted. You need your pass

Meaning using universal identifiers. Like implementing Real ID.

It is counter intuitive that identifying (catalog) everyone is how we protect everyone. But if there's another way, I haven't heard of it.

There will be some upsides to finally having one master identifiers.

I agree. And I saw how averse companies were to graph databases because of the perception that they are "not reliable." So, we built Dgraph with the same concepts as Bigtable and Google Spanner, i.e. horizontal scalability, synchronous replication, ACID transactions, etc.

Once built, we engaged Kyle and got Jepsen testing done on Dgraph. In fact, Dgraph is the first graph database to be Jepsen tested. http://jepsen.io/analyses/dgraph-1-0-2 (all pending issues are now resolved).

Dgraph is now being used as a primary DB in many companies in production (including Fortune 500), which to me is an incredible milestone.

Not true. You can go into the trades and make a very good living with just high school as formal education. There are plenty of software devs that never went to college. Plenty of people across the country do just fine on one income without college. The difference now is that somehow people started considering “fast-food cashier” as an actual “career.” Somehow every single job in America is supposed to support a family. That ridiculous. Some jobs are and should be “teenager jobs” or “extra money” jobs — not “support a family of four and rent an apartment” job. Minimum wage makes up such a small percentage of workers that it seems strange to expect those jobs to be able to support families and housing.
Large scale corporate welfare projects like this makes for good headlines and often popular with voters and politicians alike.

Popular doesn’t mean right though — not in general and not in this case. It will be less splashy in the headlines, but those spaces can now be used for businesses which actually pay taxes.

"Registry Operator must have uniform pricing for renewals of domain name registrations (“Renewal Pricing”). For the purposes of determining Renewal Pricing, the price for each domain registration renewal must be identical to the price of all other domain name registration renewals in place at the time of such renewal, and such price must take into account universal application of any refunds, rebates, discounts, product tying or other programs in place at the time of renewal."
