Open source tends to work great for re-implementing technology that is already understood. It tends not to work for exploratory research, since that requires risk and ingenuity, not a designed-by-committee approach.

R&D of this sort is funded best with a strong profit motive, unless the government is willing to shell out for it.
It's weird how languages like YAML, XML and JSON are very much designed for communication between machines, but are still the default choice for human input. Actual programming languages - designed for use by people - are rarely considered for high level configuration.

I have actually seen something similar to this happen:

1. We just need a few configuration options. Let's add an XML configuration file.

2. Keeping all the configuration files in sync for different environments is a lot of work and really error-prone. Let's generate all the configuration files. What about an XML meta-configuration file?

3. Some things are different between environments. We need conditionals in our XML meta-configuration language.

4. There is a lot of repetitive configuration. It would be more maintainable if we had loops, variables, integers, string interpolation, functions, ... in our XML meta-configuration language.

Great, now we invented our own awful programming language that lacks any tooling, documentation or libraries and isn't compatible with anything else.
Yeah but it gets housing built - which is the only thing that ultimately help affordability in the long run. Vancouver is building rapidly and developing rough neighbourhoods into pleasant ones. Sure, that is difficult on those who have had cheap rent in slum areas but that is the cost of improvement. I'm a long time Vancouver downtown resident who got "priced out" of the market. As far as I can tell policies that encourages construction at all prices of the market improve a city the most.
DAG's are good. Let me define a DAG in imperative code (any language I want) using any techniques I want, then I hand the DAG off to you and you execute it. Anything else is introducing complexity for complexities sake.

Did any of those startups have 200-600 million users?
Are you implying Google doesn’t need to maintain an expensive cloud infrastructure for it as opposed to Playstation?

The only reason they can do that today without specialised hardware a-la OnLive is because Nvidia and co. now have specialised GPU circuits allowing one to stream the encoded video output to memory.

When OnLive started they had to do it themselves.

I don’t believe you have any idea what you are speaking about.

Oops, good catch! Thanks. It's fixed now.
Where would you point the upstream? Doesn't it just push the problem up one server?
You don't need to store 3 hashes, infact, you would need many hashes for all possible cases. It is easier to drop all cases pre hashing, and only store a lower case hashed value.

That doesn't really answer the question. What about planes is cheaper? For simple economics to apply, they have to do something cheaper than trains, and it's not obvious what that is. As far as I know, for example, trains are significantly more fuel efficient per passenger-mile.

You implement your logging infrastructure with awareness of PII and other sensitive information. Whitelisting fields to log would nearly fix it, blacklisting fields would be a bare minimum.
What if a call is originating from AT&T and going to a Verizon number, AT&T could mark the number as "tots legit" and then Verizon would be unable to tell if AT&T was lying or not, in fact if one company started clamping down then another company might start openly acting as a haven for these sorts of calls and making a lot more money by being the only option to look legit... Finally, if these calls are originating overseas you might have to go through the chinese government to actually try and force a bad acting telco to start cracking down, that sort of pressure would take the US government - while tech companies have some pull overseas a lot of the local service companies (including probably AT&T) have nothing to pressure the chinese government with.
A lot of the CG (ships, etc.) looks sharper to my eye. I didn't notice at first, though, because YouTube defaulted to 720p (and since it's a 1080p render downscaled to be side-by-side, you do need those pixels).

The creator says that 4K-vs-480p renders (that is, rendering the YouTube video at 4K) are on the way.
Where are you getting that it’ll only require a negligible instance on existing infrastructure? Running a AAA game on 4K takes a pretty beefy machine. I doubt it’s a workload that you can throw on some small VM without making any changes to your hardware infrastructure.
That sounds pretty anecdotal for a scientist.
I agree that the website is the thing that is broken. Their code looked like this:

reportToTracker('userActionSubmit');
submitForm();

The first line threw an exception. They should have surrounded that line with a try/catch block. And they should have tested against popular adblockers as well as popular browsers. But it's also within their right to not care about adblockers, and live with the consequences of upset customers. Unfortunately, very few customers will complain, so this becomes an externalized cost which the website owner never sees.

Practically speaking, if I install an adblocker on my friend's computer, and their mobile provider website stops working, then I personally feel some responsibility for making my friend's web experience a bit worse.
Things exist that are unknowable
No doubt yet another article about renewables which ignores the fact that nameplate capacity is not at all the same as average actual capacity. To wit, average actual capacity is often only about 1/4 of nameplate capacity. So take any power generation numbers quoted here and divide by four and you are probably much closer to the actual truth of the situation.
"Should a court ever find their licensing or filtering efforts not fierce enough, sites are directly liable for infringements as if they had committed them themselves. This massive threat will lead platforms to over-comply with these rules to stay on the safe side, further worsening the impact on our freedom of speech."

And, lets not forget, This is an enormous liability ripe for legal abuse.
I think you're stretching a bit here.

Without personal financial risk, there is no comparison between the two. I've seen up close how unbelievably perilous it can be to risk your personal fortune (sometimes a meager one at that) on an entrepreneurial venture.

Don't kid yourself. If running a business was easy and without downside, everyone would be doing it. Lots of folks try their hand at business only to find out that they don't have the will to ride out the very tough times.

Comparing a person who is trying to build a business on a (possibly) new and unproven innovation to a (likely) tenured professor is worthy of a chuckle.
The article does clearly address that Twitter and Github had to admit to the same issue but the scope and duration of the problem was far smaller.

> Both Github and Twitter were forced to admit similar stumbles in recent months, but in both of those cases the plain text user passwords were available to a relatively small number of people within those organizations, and for far shorter periods of time.

That is to say that it is somewhat remarkable due to all the servies that use facebook as a login.
I doubt it. It may mutate, but regulation has never stopped that sort of thing. If anything, it gains legitimacy by finding a loophole (technical compliance), and it's unlikely anyone will build the political capital to amend the law. And even if they did, it will just mutate yet again.

In different perspectives, you are both correct. Particularly, there is a sense in which bank account balances are a separate currency redeemable in the currency in which they are denominated, so that, yes, you have to create a separate currency to do fractional reserve banking, but it's the kind of currency that various entities are going to be creating as soon as you want to support any kind of useful ecosystem around a cryptocurrency, including exchanges.
Europe should kick out or properly tax all the tech giants operating in its borders. It should also figure out a way to foster local competition for all that large tech companies. I wonder what would happen if they poured a couple of hundred billion dollars into a facebook competitor. Facebook's network effects are legion but their technology is trivial to copy.
> You can't get information out of SD video that wasn't there before with upscaling, so the algorithm is just interpolating.

In the fully general case of arbitrary video this is true, but in practice it isn't.

You can gather information over time to do superresolution, and if you want to get super fancy you can build a world model (e.g. get more information about what an actor's face looks like from a close up shot, and apply that knowledge to less detailed shots).

I expect ML based upscaling to eventually produce some truly stellar results.
A necessary precondition for a tyrannical government is a power imbalance between the people and the government. Allowing citizens to own arms that are in the same league as what the government uses prevents this.

If there is a connection it probably has to do with depression being a disorder based in unstopped inflammation. Some studies suggest that in depression typically self-limiting parts of the glucocorticoid system are broken, which means inflammations levels just go up and up (and probably effect the heart, among other organs).

Here's a very good paper and accessible paper on the subject if you're curious: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0924977X1...
There is no appetite for high-speed rail service in the US or Canada. Mainly because of distances. But the Fuxing Hao CR400AF/BF can reach speeds of 249 mph. Now at an average of, lets say, 180mph, it would take about 15 hours to travel from Vancouver to Toronto. (Yes, rough calculation, but just to get the idea.) So I could leave work early, say at 3pm, leave the stations at 4pm, enjoy the view as the rockies whip by, go to bed, wake up and have breakfast on the train, and be ready to have my meeting with the Toronto VCs at 8:30 in the morning. Use electric power instead of diesel, and this would be my preferred way for this route.

Of course, the cost to build this might drain the treasury for the foreseeable future...

WOuldn't you expect those kind of costs? It seems fairly low compared to airline development costs, where a program may cost $25+ billion.
Well, we could go back and forth with "no they didn't" and "yes they did". Let's throw in some citations. You're in a hard place, because proving a negative is tricky. So I think it's incumbent on me to provide some examples.

Let me start by throwing out a little bit of terminology just to make it clear if we're on the same page. Loans have existed since money existed. The only difference between a private loan and fractional reserve banking is that the lender is a) lending someone else's money and b) allowing depositors to withdraw money despite the fact that the sum of all depositor's money is not physically possessed by the bank.

Wikipedia's page [1] is a reasonable place to start. The Babylonians were issuing loans in gold. The Greek and Egyptians were issuing loans in gold. The Romans were issuing loans in gold. None of these (except the Egyptians, with their seed grain short-term currencies) were issuing any sort of derivative currency or notes.

Throughout medieval times, letters of credit were frequently used as a form of correspondence banking [2] for travelers. The lack of high-speed communication meant that the settlement and clearing of loans could take months or years, but the depositors (correspondent banks in foreign countries) were unlikely to make any immediate claims on their deposits except through such letters. The letters could be redeemed, usually, directly for gold. You can argue whether this constitutes fractional reserve banking; it's in some ways closer to what we would now call "corporate paper"; very short-term credit extended to very high trust individuals or institutions.

> Admins that don't learn to program are left behind. Only those who have some cushy full time employment, were they can't be let go, will remain.

While I personally am a Software Engineer + Systems Engineer combination perfect for modern Devops... I do not agree with you one bit.

There will always be a place for non-programming systems administrators -- especially as we get more and more systems over time.

Will those administrators be able to /scale/ to managing 100s or 1000s of system without learning some sort of programming language or configuration management system? Probably not.

However, there are plenty of businesses out there that only have a handful of servers and services which can totally (and more cheaply) be managed manually.

Automation has an up-front cost that doesn't always make sense for the business to spend.
As a fan I would be happy with a hybrid approach, where they use the original 35mm negatives where possible and upscale the VFX shots.

Honestly the worst part of the currently available DVDs is the compression artifacting.
You're probably right, and I would love to see that confirmed. FB wouldnt have to link to the Jira ticket or give the name or details of the ticket, but verify that was the case and then explain why nothing was done.
At a company I worked for, if we logged any production data, we had to confirm there was no PII in there and no passwords or tokens, and very few people had access to these logs.

There's many layers of wrong if what FB did: carelessly logging production data, letting thousands of employee accessing these logs, and of all these people apparently none of them cared to mention there was a problem here, or if they did it was ignored by management. They don't have any excuse here.
Do you have any more details on how this technology is supposed to classify drowsiness?

ST:DS9 was originally shot on film like ST:TNG, but the market performance of the TNG remaster makes it very unlikely that DS9 will receive the same treatment.

"Essentially, for the HD release of Star Trek, all people had to do was scan each episode. For The Next Generation, they would have to scan all those original pieces of film and then edit together each episode again, themselves. It’s more difficult, more expensive, and much more time-consuming.

"Unfortunately, it wasn’t actually worth it. Sales of the extravagant TNG remaster—original retail price $118 for just season one—failed to reach CBS and Paramount’s expectations. A similar process would have to be done for both DS9 and Voyager—and would actually be even harder."

Yes but how many people looked at these logs, saw the passwords, and said nothing? If it was logged presumably the logs were viewed from time to time. The mistake is easy to make, but it's also easy to correct if there is a culture to report such mistakes.

You are totally right about the turn based games.

I used a game streaming service called Shadow, and it works amazing for Sim City, Frost, and Civilization type games.

I really hope Google focused on putting out quality titles in the city builder genres. Hell it might even make sense if they outright bought the Civilization franchise.
If they were following best practices, the server would never have access to plaintext passwords. The client / frontend would hash the password contents and send that across the wire.
Should we be suspicious of any automation that can cause death and injury if it doesn't work right? Yes. Absolutely. These systems need to be very carefully vetted. When you don't do that, you end up with cars driving into cyclists [1] and barriers [2], and airplanes driving themselves into the ground [3]. Automation that puts civilian lives in danger is not something where you can "move fast and break things" because the things you end up breaking are innocent human beings.

> There is such a huge disparity between upload and download bandwidth that I fail to see any immediate future for decentralized or p2p replacements for things.

I believe there are valid technical reasons for this, at least for coax connections; fiber not-so-much. At the same time, I get what you are saying.

...and this is how they want it. In short, they keep the "last mile" from allowing true "peering".

The best you can do - and this is to mainly get around the TOS statements that (technically) prevent you from running servers (as well as physically blocking you from running anything on port 80 and 25 mainly, plus probably others) - is to purchase a business plan instead of a consumer plan.

Though I am sure they will try to (or do) block this if the installation address is for a home and not an office (then again, what about small home offices and such?).

I don't know a good way around any of these issues, as it seems all high-speed providers do similar things (most are aimed at prevention of spam and other similar reasons). Even the WISPs I've seen in my area have weird terms (one seems really great for the rural area they serve - until you come to the clause about not being allow to run BT because of "multiple streams"; I tend to wonder if they only allow a single user to use a browser - on a single page - or what).
So when you get to the real world and everyone in the meeting is on their laptop? ...
love the analogy to pollution - if you see someone dropping litter you would call them out, but people litter the web with poorly researched or otherwise ill-formed opinions constantly, not to mention giant corporations doing the equivalent of pumping high volumes of toxic waste into the air we breathe in the form of manipulative advertising. we need internet environmentalism

A lot of folks are angry about this, but I'm not seeing much in they way of "this is how that should be handled" aside from "be vigilant." The closest is "encrypt logs," but those logs exist to be seen, else they wouldn't exist.
You never answered the question - do you ever go over the speed limit?

Would you speed if the penalty was $1000 a mile over?

What’s the moral difference?

And in either case there shouldn’t be anymore of “a debate” about how two grown people decide to have sex and who they should marry than whether a grown person should be allowed to drink.

That 18 year old college student who the government doesn’t deem to be mature enough to drink is mature enough to vote, fight in the military, sign for a student loan that can potentially put them in 10s of thousands worth of debt, etc.

So here is the thing: It was presumably relatively easy for you to come up with that scenario, which you called "not-unlikely". Then what you do is you put that scenario into your risk analysis when you're designing the authentication architecture, and figure out mitigations to make sure that particular mistake becomes (very) unlikely.

The notion that "it could easily happen" that is being brought up throughout this thread should really only suggests that people aren't doing even rudimentary security assessments (or, hopefully, they're not working with security sensitive software).

If you can't solve it technically, you solve it through processes and training. Same goes for any other industry -- if a construction worker said that it's just one bad morning away from dropping a two tonne girder on a playground, we would never accept that. Or a pilot crashing an airliner into the waiting hall when they're supposed to land. Somehow it seems that large parts of the software industry simply hasn't reached the level of maturity we expect from pretty much all other industries.

Facebook is an enormous company. They should be able to have entire departments working on these topics. It's not a one-person hobby project we're talking about.
