> If prop 13 is repealed, older Californians should have to move out of state. Remember..no one makes money unless they SELL the property.

Ideally nobody would have to move out of the state, and ideally any solution could be implemented gradually enough to ensure that there were cheaper housing options available nearby to minimize disruption. Regardless, please consider another perspective. A pair of retired people whose children have reached adulthood and moved out should be discouraged from continuing to own a 4 bedroom house in an urban area. There should be structural incentives to encourage them to sell their property and move to a home that is more efficient for society. Proposition 13 is a disaster for society precisely because ensuring that older Californians do not have to move is a disaster for society. Retired people no longer have jobs that they need to commute to, so the average commute time goes up when they stop working but decline to move. A younger couple with young children or perhaps planning on having children cannot move into the house. They are kept out of what is likely a quality school district, and will end up raising their children in less space and at a greater distance from institutions like museums that children benefit from visiting. Meanwhile, the government misses out on oodles and oodles of tax revenue that the next resident would be paying because our hypothetical retired couple doesn't have to pay adjusted property tax until they move. Not only does prop 13 provide no structural incentive to move, it provides a structural incentive to not move!

Not only is the subsidy on the order of billions of dollars, it's subsidizing something bad! It's as though the government was buying cigarettes in bulk and handing them out to children. Ensuring that retired people don't need to consider moving is the opposite of a good idea.
can you elaborate? my experience has been fairly good so far, pretty insightful people

I can summarize my feeling with Caddy as it's probably a good choice for solo developers with a handful of sites on a single VPS that's not terribly important. If you have something really important, I would look elsewhere.

Caddy used to put non-removable advertisements in the response headers. (That one got such a bad backlash that they backed away...)

Caddy refuses to cooperate with OS packaging teams. It reeks of self-importance. It's questionable whether caddy is really FOSS with its odd licensing arrangement.

I've seen a number of backward-incomptatible updates that break config files from point-upgrades.

Caddy EXITS with error on boot if any of its HTTPS enabled sites fail to get certificates.

Which puts your webserver in a fragile state: the server may serve happily for months (with a hidden cert error) until you restart the service. Then all your sites are down.

Migrating a live website from one server to another is (or was, until recently) quite un-supported and hard to do with zero downtime. See caddy needs DNS pointed at it before it can get the cert -- but it can't start serving pages until it has the cert.... Just not acceptable story in a high availability environment.

I understand that now caddy can share its certs with a pool of other workers which may help migration processes moving forward.

I may be bitter about this as it caused a lot of damage and downtime for my business. Not inclined to ever touch Caddy again if I can help it.

My point exactly. You must be in a very lonely place.

It is said that Trump enjoys 80%+ approval among Republicans. This is primarily driven by a few policy issues and appointments, even though nearly everything he represents is the antithesis of what Republicans have long claimed to represent.

With all of the moralizing and lecturing from the Right over the years, it turns out the vast majority were bought pretty cheaply.

I’m implementing an SPA right now and I really don’t see why they get so much hate. Vue is what I’ve been using and with the right implementation is capable of being very fast, very secure, and easy to debug if you choose to go down the typescript path. The only real problem I see occurring down the line are issues with SEO, but better support from search engines and workarounds to pretender pages seems to make the positives of SPA outweigh the negatives

Sorry, I should've been more clear. Both predictions for TF serving and panini serving was done in a single thread in the same specification machine. We used a simple model for image classification of CIFAR dataset. Roughly, 500 predictions were made for panini and 200 predictions for TF serving. The graph on the website is for throughput. I'm planning to write a medium post soon regarding the benchmark test.
I learned recently (after getting into day trading) that out of the 6k stocks traded, quite a lot of them are actually very thinly traded. That means it's pretty hard to get into a trade with a reasonable price, because the spread is so big. I guess HFT helps with that.

Clearly, FB, the multibillion dollar international behemoth that is the go-to platform for communicating to other human beings and makes their money patrolling said communictions isn't quite comparable to your local retailer that's selling widgets. But we don't even need to get to the realm of social and political responsibility to see the problem with FB's behavior in this case - try taking FB at their word: "We removed the ads because they violated our policies against use of our corporate logo. In the interest of allowing robust debate, we are restoring the ads."

Yes, these ads are not in FB's best interest, and they do not have an obligation to do business with any/all potential customers. The problem, of course, arises on two fronts: first, when FB twice approves an ad they themselves claim violates their policies; second, when FB claims to be a promoter of robust debate in reaction to critical press.
Public domain: any software made to run on current machines is too new to have expired copyright; the author(s) may have dedicated it to the PD, but you have to find that dedication, which is equivalent to a license.

Good faith: that may affect the amount of damages the copyright holder can extract, but it's still illegal to use the software.

In that article she is not supporting conversion therapy. She states “The most recent scientific research shows that sexual orientation is immutable and there is no evidence to suggest it can be changed through conversion therapy or otherwise.“

She is arguing against bans that she says “incorrectly conflate sexual orientation with gender identity”.

So from reading that article she thinks it shouldn’t be illegal to offer for example a female child who is attracted to girls, and who likes doing activities everyone labels as “boy” interests, therapy that helps them accept they are a just girl who happens to like other girls, and happens to like what society incorrectly labels “boys things”.

You need more than a decade to become proficient with deep learning at the level of researchers solving novel business problems.

It takes at least a decade just to study the prerequisite materials in vector calculus, linear algebra, advanced statistics, classifier algorithms, convex and gradient-based optimization, matrix computations and numerical methods, and associated software engineering skills. That’s all just to get to “base camp” of deep learning.

On the flip side, it’s pretty low effort to just use plug-n-play network components from popular libraries and follow a few tutorials or open source projects.

That’s why there’s effectively zero employment demand for the skill of naive keras or pytorch lego building. It’s as easy as it is meaningless.

Given that you’d already have been spending a decade+ of your life on advanced math if you planned to work on deep learning to solve real problems, there’s a huge impedance mismatch with this idea that you’d somehow also magically just be happy ignoring that specialized skill and the time investment sunk into it to then instead be happy writing throw-away little Flask apps or optimizing routine ETL queries.
Newsworthy, yes. But by no means a sign of turmoil or an indication that Elon Musk should step down. It is obvious that there is a media bias here when they negatively cover stories that should be positive or neutral. E.g. when Tesla announced the 35k model 3 or when they announced the long scheduled model Y unavailing, critics portray these as desperate attempts when they would previously say Tesla would never be able to achieve these goals.

To be fair that article says pretty much what the OP says. They want to ensure the country keeps functioning if it is cut off from the internet.

On one level I sort of understand. My own country would stuffed for a short while if DNS in particular went down. It's not just the internet - the phone system, a lot of TV and god knows what else would be in real trouble.

But on the another level, fixing it would just require DNAT'ing a bunch of IP's. If it happened (and it seems like a big if) it would be mostly over after 24 hours of mad scrambling. If you were paranoid enough to want to have everything in place you could try doing the DNAT on small sections, see what broke and what it didn't effect because packets will still flying out, and fix it without inflicting a worse case cyber war outcome on the entire country.

From a western perspective, the cost / benefit of what they are proposing seems way out of kilter. Maybe it is politicly reasonable thing to do in Russia, but in the west a whole sections of society (business, sporting associations, professions) would be willing to put in a few dollars to ensure whosever idea it was would never hold the reigns of power again.

It depends on what you’re working on. For generic descriptive statistics, then I agree, and also that has nothing whatsoever to do with data science.

If you’re trying to do reverse image search or machine translation or creating custom embeddings unique to your business problem at hand, then deep learning is hands down better.

This bolsters my point as well. If you only hired “full stack” data scientists and you’re trusting them to correctly tell you if / how deep learning is applicable to a new problem, instead of hiring specialists who actually know how to systematically diagnose that situation, you’re setting yourself up to fail. You may already be too biased towards believing simpler things “should” do better, and you’ll take the full stack person’s inability to outperform with deep learning as if it is confirmatory evidence, when really all it is telling you is that you need a specialist.

Yes, Artifex sued Hancom over their use of Ghostscript [1]. (The article says GPL, but Ghostscript has an AGPL license.) The judge denied a motion to dismiss the claims, and they reached a settlement for an undisclosed amount.

I don't think many developers are aware that Ghostscript has an AGPL license, and I've heard that the commercial license costs $25k per year. It's very easy to just `apt-get install ghostscript` when you want to work with PDFs (e.g. with imagemagick), but this violates the AGPL license when you are running a SaaS application.

There are some permissively-licensed libraries (Apache 2.0) that provide similar functionality, such as PDFBox [2], or PDF.js + Node.js.

Well his intention is clear. But stating you are guaranteed to win if you are in the right strikes me as naive at best and woefully neglectful of reality at worst.

It's probably best stated like "lawyers are not _always_ like Pokemon". Sometimes they very definitely are.
Say that all the other participants have revealed their pre-images, and you're the last one left you reveal your pre-image. Before you reveal it, you realize you alone have all the pre-images and can calculate the result. You calculate it, and realize you don't like the result. You could then decide to throw away your pre-image to force a new roll. If necessary, claim your computer crashed, your connection dropped, etc.

I agree. Open Source software is not a good way to build a moat, and investors should take this into account. It's good for companies that focus on building employees, teams, and customer relationships, and keeping them strong at all times. They can't fall back on exclusivity of their code, hosting, or support offerings. The ideal Open Source company would probably be something like Red Hat.

I actually thought it was pretty carefully worded and not super alarmist (despite the BBC headline).

I personally think it is worse than he presents it. Perhaps it is just nostalgia, but today's web / internet seems to have given up on open standards and cooperation. Instead most of the money and effort is going into figuring out how to capture people in a walled garden such as Facebook etc.. so you can mine their data and advertise to them.

For all its downsides, Bitcoin is the last exciting open standard I can remember that has done well and maybe has a future.

We seem to have failed as a community to solve chat with an open standard (that has broken out enough to win), which is a serious shame. That's a hugely important medium today and we have essentially handed that to WhatsApp / Facebook / whoever. Imagine if we had done the same with email or the web itself.

I wonder if it is just a cultural difference somehow. The Stalman's of the world seem farther and farther apart, or perhaps just the internet has become so monetized that the best talent just can't refuse the $$$s from a FANG job that focuses on crushing the competition and owning everything.

I don't know, but it makes me sad.

It's hypothesized that soaps originally formed accidentally when basic rain runoff from expired camp fires chemically interacted with animal fats. Roman sources certainly document the production of soap from tallow and ash, which is a circumstance that could conceivably arise by chance in aftermath of a camp fire. Perhaps that's not natural, or maybe we can theorize some sort of wildfire scenario causing the same circumstance.

Regardless, I think his point is that shampoo as we know it today is very much a product of the modern marketing/industrial complex.
