Also, this would be super cool if it were in Rust. As it stands writing web services in C++ is basically programming malpractice at this point. Would love to see the author contributing to tokio or hyper and helping us get rid of all this legacy inheritancey impl junk.
Sure, I don't trust government bureaucracies either.

However, they can easily get lots of compromising data from their own servers. Both from standard web server logs, and from their own scripts and tools.

Once you involve third-party analytics, though, there's another party to worry about. And not just about what they do with the data, but also about how carefully they manage it. That's arguably a key thing in GDPR.

> These products seem to play directly into the psyche of the typical narcissist CEO who wants to know everything that is going on at the company, right now

Or a future AI "CEO" that is optimizing across a portfolio of companies.
> The CIA back then was all kinds of fucked up.

The only thing I've really learned about these types of organizations is that their very nature makes them, as an entity, more like an octopus than a primate. They need to quarantine off information and seed it with falsehood to stop adversaries from making their way off with everything when they breach a system or trusting it all on the off chance they do.

There is no "CIA" in the way that there is a "Denver Broncos" because the CIA has no unity of perspective, purpose, or even vision.

That some of their hippie dippies studied stupid shit and some of their psychos experimented on humans isn't really emblematic of the agency as a whole. Not because they were mere outliers, but because the concept of "the agency as a whole" doesn't really fit.
I thought the same thing.

> Surely you could query the DOM for this. A better solution, in this case, is to let the backend developers mark the last user comment in the JSON they return. Backend developers have direct access to the database, which means they may be able to optimize the code. Then no client-side work has to be done at all, in this case.

Look, I know what I am, I'm no fancy-pants silicon valley guru here. But what is described in this example is primarily a client-side function. So I think the wording for this is "a different solution" at minimum. Better? Meh. Will that new backend query ever serve any purpose other than facilitating this frontend feature?

Perhaps instead of adhering to a "let's not query the DOM" at all costs, ask yourself what exactly you are complicating and for what gain.
Funny how you blame all "alt-right supporters" for violence, similar to how so many of them blame all "Muslims" for terrorism.
To clarify: you don't spread herpes around your mouth or genitals, because that's not where herpes takes up latency.

HSV takes up latency in usually either the dorsal root ganglion (which typically presents with lesions in the genital region), or in the trigeminal ganglion which typically presents with oral lesions.

You are right that infection with one strain does not necessarily grant immunity to infection with another strain.

It is also not true that oral lesions necessarily indicate HSV1 infection, and that genital lesions necessarily indicate HSV2 infection.

> Raw facts are meaningless without models, theories, or even, ideologies.

No, they're not. They just don't allow you to make predictions without a model. But you don't need to agree on a theoretical model to agree that, for example, Michelson and Morley had a particular experimental setup and procedure and recorded particular numbers when they ran the experiment.

> You always have to have a theory in order to predict the future based on facts and then have experiments to verify the predictions.

A "theory" in this sense can be just about anything, from a simple guess to a detailed mathematical model with lots of ramifications. So I don't see that much is gained by making this observation.
The clinic went under, my bio dad (the IVF technician) died way before i found out, and the doctor overseeing it killed himself and destroyed the records. There is no lawsuit possible because there's nobody to sue, but also we'd have to prove some sort of damages, and being alive doesn't really count, for most of us anyway :D
"You gotta spend money to make money."

I write that in a somewhat tongue-in-cheek way usually, but getting and caring for a tenant could, in some cases, be more expensive than leaving the space vacant. If you own the property outright, it's a measure of the cost of extra wear-and-tear, property tax, any other fees and fines, and maintenance (like this new one) against the rent you collect.

It's not always the case that the rent is going to be a bigger number than tax, fines/fees, and extra wear-and-tear, especially if you own the property outright. If you add in rent control and a rising trend in rental prices, some landlords would rather leave the space vacant for a while to wait out the market for higher prices.

You could easily lose money if you don't recognize and account for all of the costs.

It's sad that such outlets don't bother to print about stuff that impacts middle America. They could regain some credibility with a lot of said middle Americans without ever changing their political alignment just by giving them a little more coverage.
> The 20th century does have far fewer wars than the 19th and also fewer recessions and depressions - again except for the infamous big ones

"Fewer except for the infamous big ones". If that's what you call progress, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.
I doubt there is (although people like Breivik seemed to at least claim to be connected to some sort of "knights templar" conspiracy community), but even if these people are organised only loosely, the platforms they are on still function as echo chambers were they continously gin each other up.

So I think OPs point is still very much valid. When we see isis terrorism or extremism we dismantle their organisations, put the full weight of our intelligence agencies behind it, and hound them to the other end of the world, as we should. But when we encounter extremism and terrorism in our very own communities, we let them joke about it on 4chan and reddit. There is something very wrong about that indifference.
I do not believe that the tradeoff you are making by optimizing around data collection rather than getting things done will ever pay off, regardless of how perfect the top level algorithm is. Call me a pessimist. Maybe when we also have AI programmers at the beck and call of this AI CEO then it might be fine.
Given that 1 million Europeans were kidnapped as slaves by Arabs, and both Spain and Sicily having been conquered by Muslims, and how most of the Yugoslavian region was called the "Military Frontier" for three centuries due to the Ottoman incursions it had to guard against, how on Earth do you arrive at "Islam vs the West" being historically inaccurate?

Similarly, I used to drink 4-6 cans of Coke a day, and quit about 2 years ago. I now make a half gallon of black unsweetened tea to take to work every day to have iced tea. I still find myself craving a Coke frequently, and often break down on the weekends and have one. I usually end up drinking the whole thing in just a few minutes, and really want to get another, it takes a great deal of willpower to have a glass of water instead.
I wondered why they were so afraid of a third version of their machine. Seems like they stuck with the second version even after it was clear it could never work. Seems like they were just ready to use off the shelf equipment from that point on.
there is no reason to train on that thing (except for zero shot classification demos). any cheap/lower end Nvidia gpu would do a much better job, and you would then transfer the model to the embedded thing.
Wow, thanks for this, I did not know this and now it makes much more sense as to why international investors saw Vancouver real estate as a piggy bank. In Texas many localities have property taxes of about 2.5% (though no state income tax).

I wish places would do graduated property taxes - I don't know of any place that does that (with the exception of relatively meager homestead exemptions and a few "mansion taxes"). I.e. if you really want to invest in affordable housing, why not have, say, first 100k have very low tax, 100-500k a reasonable tax, etc. Many municipal water and electricity bills work this way and they work well in promoting conservation.
>But if you set up a content farm / honeypot, you shouldn't be able to tell that the search term that brought the person to you is "how to deal with my XXX infection"

Why not? How else are you going to 1) provide information on dealing with an XXX infection, or 2) recognize enough people are landing at your site looking for advice on their XXX infection that you should provide some answers?
Which hardware companies ship zero binary blobs?
Cheaper than the $150 Google TPU Dev Board, and looks like it can do training as well as inference.

Training is a slight win (although it's going to be too slow for anything useful really).

But it looks like the TPU will outperform this somewhat for inference. The 256 core Jetson (this has 128 cores) could run MobileNet-v2 at between 12 and 20 ms per image (depending on batch size)[1], while the USB TPU adapter takes 2.3ms per image [2]

Also, doesn't require you to send your model to their company.

Nor does the TPU dev board.

Shock and awe ended after the initial invasion. Current military leaders are perfectly well aware that it's impossible to beat the population into capitulation. Collateral damage is usually caused by incompetence, violations of the rules of engagement, or a brutal calculation that some non-combatant deaths are an acceptable price to take out a legitimate target.
Yep probably.
Can you expand on level obfuscation?
Fully agree.

I also hate obtaining visas and other bureaucratic issues, worrying if you'll obtain the visa next year, not being able to speak your own language when you want to relax and hang up with the friends, etc.

That is even more unreasonable, culture is constantly produced and changed, there isn't a "local culture" to assimilate to and a culture is richer the more diverse and exploratory it is.

On the other hand if you are using "culture" as a proxy for "they don't behave like us the colonizers of New Zealand" it is even worse. < https://www.wikiwand.com/en/M%C4%81ori_people >

Or you know, you could just build more housing.
Yeah, but Google Edge TPU can do faster than realtime (about 70fps) 90-class object detection with SSD300. Just plug in a webcam. I wonder how this compares both in terms of the raw throughput and FPS per watt. If it compares favorably in even one of these without being too terrible in the other, this could be pretty cool.
I agree. However your wording just makes you seem like a rust fanboy. Other decent new languages exist such as Nim and Zig.

So why aren't carriers deprioritizing/throttling/delaying inputs to their networks that are originating calls with anomalously low pickup rates? (And maybe that have implausibly diverse caller ID'S.)

Curious, what features do you need that are missing? We use bitbucket but honestly I never log into the interface (because it does seem just like an unnecessary visualization of what I can see on the command line). It's mostly just a hosted backup for our repo.

So maybe I'm missing a ton of awesome features that github/gitlab provide?
I'm with you on disinformation around AI—that is surely happening—but I disagree on the target. Intelligible AI does more than merely prevent accidental discrimination, it allows humans to iterate more quickly on their approach then cross train models that lack the intelligibility requirement, thus exposing a closing gap between what is possible without this restraint whilst simultaneously speeding up human understanding of AI approaches and algorithms.

No, with AI the thing that sounds like total bullshit to me is the way that some government officials talk of the risks AI in frenetic terms, while speaking as if the risk will become apparent once AI is capable of contemplating abstract concepts and cognition. The reason I think this is bullshit is that I consider those preconditions 20 years away at the very earliest[0] and the real threat is present: Humans harnessing AI is already powerful enough, especially for state actors.

[0] Likely 100 years away or creating so much thermal waste that their true hazard is mitigated.
It is possible to leave a message, or text to arrange a time.
I purposefully kept the comment vague to avoid a dumpster fire. Basically, there are certain mental health conditions whose classification/categorization/etc. seem especially vulnerable to politicking, and if you take a dissenting stance on those particular conditions, you'll be attacked by opponents who believe the DSM grants them scientific high ground.

You would know if it's happened to you.
And there are many companies that value humbleness.

I love sharing my accomplishments. I know what's socially expected from me, but not sharing feels really bad to me. It feels as all the work I've done and that cool accomplishment don't matter at all. Therefore I mostly share with friends, though most of them lack the necessary tech-knowledge to really understand it.

I also love hearing about others accomplishments in an easy to digest way. These shipped emails seem like great way to spread knowledge and a positive attitude of getting stuff done.

What I, and the comment you replied to want to say, everyone is different. Let me work at a company that encourages sharing accomplishments and go work for one that values humbleness. But at least please don't take it away from me, just because you don't like it, especially if it's optional.

Texting.

You send a text, receive a text or vice versa. Then you can actually arrange a call if you want to catch up. I have some friends call me, and I call them back. If they don't call me back they at least send me a message telling me when they can be free. I guess this is becoming a norm among most people.

By "open standards people" I mean "people who prefer open standards". Nothing more sinister than that. :-) (I am one, BTW)

This is already a very small subset of the population -- they've bothered to take a stand on something virtually no-one seems to care about. (At least not directly.)

This last part seems crucial to me. You're right that people care that they can chat with friends. It's the clause I think they glaze over at. Something about applications? I just want to chat!! Of course standards folks, being experts in this, care a lot, but messaging is a canonical example of this. I've personally witnessed years of strategy aimed at open standards go nowhere while proprietary standards win out. It's not because billions of people have strong preferences for open standards!

I do think that there are enough open standards fans, and enough open standards-adjacent folks, to make a strong play for something like messaging. But it's not "abstract XMPP" that's the problem -- it's "real XMPP" with fractures, federation headaches, delays in having it be caught up with capabilities of closed platforms, etc. That's the actual competitor. :-(
I don't think anyone expected Musk to follow that directive. His comments after the initial rulling signaled he didn't really care for the SEC telling him what to do, followed by a tweet about "memes" that IMO was to just troll anyone watching his Twitter account.

Is it possible you don't have "Global Spam Filtering" enabled? (I can't find the setting in the new web UI, but it's available in the legacy web UI under Settings -> Calls.)
1. Getting new "family" members and being in a large group of completely different people with different backgrounds brought together in this way gets exhausting fast.

For example, every single new sibling talks about a lawsuit right off the bat. We have to explain to them each time that: The clinic went under, Lippert (the IVF technician/bio father) died in 1999, and the doctor overseeing it killed himself and destroyed the records. There is no lawsuit possible because there's nobody to sue, but also we'd have to prove some sort of damages, and being alive doesn't really count, for most of us anyway :D.

Most of us who knew early on are also a bit weary of discussing it with new siblings in general, and many of us have wildly different ideologies like politics and religion, so conversation gets weird fast at any gathering or chat group. Also some get really reactive and get really weird with us when we reach out before they usually completely shut us out. Some have been more intense in that regard.

2. GSA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_sexual_attraction. It's super real and has affected more than one sibling. This can be very intense, and intense attractions can lead to intense reactions. I don't know how much more there is to say about this other than reading up on it, but there are lots of examples of this and it's quite common in these scenarios.

Obviously this can lead to things like accidental (or purposeful) relationships (which is it's entirely own topic of discussion, esp with regards to marriage etc), or genetic birth defects of their kids. There aren't any examples of extremes of these in my situation that I'm aware of so I don't have any crazy stories, but you can see where it could lead.

Those are the big ones.

It can be quite pleasant too, and some of us have become close friends, I shouldn't leave that part out.
Nim is playing much of the same tune of D, which ultimately failed to gain the needed traction to be a real competitor. It's already ruined by inheritance and the desire to please everyone with the multi-paradigm, take it or leave it GC, compile to everything approach.

Literally anything would be better than C++ at this point though. I'd take D or Nim over C++ in a heartbeat, which is drowning in the weight of its own specification, coupled with a desire to keep programmers in the dark ages of memory safety by convention and the C preprocessor. It's also impossible to find a C++ code base that doesn't have some sort of safety issue even with smart pointers and RAII. Fuzzing, testing, and trying to patch things up simply isn't enough.

The software landscape has changed, there are now more reasons than every to chose a language based on safety and efficiency than can run everywhere than ever before.
New to the Microsoft team I got an early look at this and was super excited. Personally I'm biased towards psql [1], but admittedly there are many that prefer a GUI interface [2] when working with their database. Postgres is a great and powerful database, but as a community we're behind in this aspect. While I don't think we need a million editors for a database that there isn't a clear winner when it comes to Postgres makes this a welcome addition and I'm excited to see how it helps make Postgres more approachable for others.
