It's a common apologia tactic for authoritarian regimes, in which their authoritarianism is justified by saying that, actually, that particular ethnicity prefers to be ruled by an iron-fisted dictatorship.

Basically, the structure and ideology of the regime is assumed to be the authentic expression of something inherent in that particular culture, rather than the product of material circumstances or deliberate choices by a political elite.

The least expensive option I can think of:

1: Get a 3d model of a skeleton. (One that you can edit in a free 3D modeling application like Blender, etc.)

2: Get a tape measure and a cooperative friend/significant other and measure as many of the skeletal dimensions you can without removing that pesky outer wrapping.

3: Edit the 3D model to match your measurements.

4: Print!

It's still laughably transparent though. The UK is seriously and rightfully angry with Facebook, and if Parliament wasn't so caught up in figuring out which way they want to be facing when they walk off the Brexit cliff they'd probably focus more on this issue.
For anyone who's not used these "managed" services before, I want to add that it's still a fuck ton of work. The work shifts from "keeping X server running" to "how do I begin to configure and tune this service". You will run into performance issues, config gotchas, voodoo tuning, and maintenance concerns with any of AWS's managed databases or k8s.

Until you pay Amazon $N/month to provide the service, and then another $M/month to a human to manage it for you.

I don’t think networking matters that much. In the tech business at least.

Most of my business are in new niches where I knew no one. This is fine. People are usually nice, open, and want to work with you if you can demonstrate value. Relying on your network can throw in the wrong way as people just don’t know the specific of whatever industry you are in. The hardest thing is execution not befriending smart or influential people.

I would like to emphasize that I did not actually read his books but mostly came to it through self-experimentation, comparing DMPS and DMSA and various ways to take them, and trying different ways more than once before forming an opinion (just for my own body and situation of course). I read the descriptions of the protocol on the Internet, which is simple enough: focus on keeping a somewhat even blood level of small doses of chelator by taking small (<100 mg max., much less at the start) doses every 3 hours during the day, every 4 hours during the night (lower metabolism allows to disturb ones sleep less). That's pretty much it.

I ignored all the rest, I think he recommends quite a few supplements. Also, I did not trust any person's advice. I tried it all on myself to see what actually worked. The only thing that I had clinical evidence for, according to my doctor, was the infrequent high-dose DMPS treatment, so for anything else I was on my own (not trusting Internet forum comments reporting success for this or that, including Cutler).

I did quite a few experiments, including a few times attempting to use DMSA capsules pulse dose, >500mg all at once and only one time, which a lot of doctors here (those few that use chelation) recommend. With that method I had significant side effects for days, unlike with the Cutler method. I found the minimum of three days that Cutler recommends to really be the absolute minimum, but I would set a better minimum at five days. I mostly did at least 7 days and up to three weeks at a time - with no little substitution of anything except for some (very little) zinc. No signs of a lack of zinc, ever, and just to be sure I read all I could about possibly symptoms. Of course, different people may have different results, apparently my body can compensate, probably by excreting less zinc and by getting more from food.

Also, I deviated from Cutler in two ways: One, he say that one should stop a round when one misses a dose by more than half an hour. I thought about it and the only way that that made sense was when I see it as a "psychological" rule, he wanted to prevent people from thinking "oh it doesn't matter" because a lot of people would drop a few doses if it was made too easy. However, when you genuinely miss a dose and ignore that larger problem it does not make sense to stop. Second, when my problems became less and my body "learned" the rhythm, and I didn't actually need an alarm any more, and when my body showed that it learned to "use" the rhythm, shortening the periods between waking up in times of greater stress all on its own (and more so at the beginning of sleep), I experimented with turning off the nightly alarm completely and letting my brain decide on its own whether it was better to wake up or to continue sleep past the four hour period. It turned out to feel much better. I have to emphasize that I only did this after my brain had proven for years that it had not just accepted the rhythm, but actively "used it", not just enduring it.
The same strategy of "breaking the file up into chunks" and "processing chunks in parallel" would work as well in Java as it does in Go.
Cool. KGE methods are becoming more and more useful as companies are trying to find ways to interface some internal knowledge graph with machine learning techniques. I expect this space to grow substantially!
I work on a team where our products are all in Fargate containers. I understand the appeal of serverless -- you never need to exec into the container, but half the time when we're debugging an issue in prod that we can't reproduce locally, we'll say, "wouldn't this be easier if we could just exec into the container and find out exactly what's going on?"

If you have the time to make ad hoc Hacker News comments in the weeds about the credibility of a link from a comment from a niche post, then you obviously have enough time to evaluate disparate pieces of evidence instead of trying to discredit them by applying blanket heuristic judgements based on seeming one-sidedness from a glance.

Nobody is saying you need so much spare time to rigorously analyze every source. That would be a disingenuous false dilemma. Instead, just apply slightly more effort than your stated dismissive heuristic.

>I don’t know if I should believe the analysis.

What "analysis" is necessary? There are threads of people going around the country, taking photographs of parking and car lots filled to the brim with Teslas. How do you explain it? The cars are made-to-order, I'm assured.

Furthermore, I don't understand "can't believe an account that attacks Tesla". What do you believe is more likely:

1. A random person wakes up one day (maybe an Big Oil shill!) and says, 'I think I'm just gonna randomly hate on Tesla, make a bunch of stuff up, and risk my livelihood on the lies'.

2. An investor starts doing due diligence and finds a lot of holes in the Tesla story, then dedicates their online presence to spreading that message.

1 is possible, but I'll bet 2 is far more likely. So many people are going to get a rude awakening if this thing goes down. If I recall correctly, HN loved Theranos too; only after the fraud was revealed did people claim it was obvious.

I would first start our by using CT since soft tissue subtraction is a very easy task. This is because soft tissue has a certain density compared to bone (houndsfield unit [1].) You would maybe need to smooth for a good 3D print, but it's probably an easy starting place. Hell, a quick numpy script could easily do this. I would also poke at radiological scanning softwear (I use Radiant).

As far as data sources, I think you can probably find some open source CT scans to do this [2, 3]. There are PLENTY of chest and abdominal open source CT scans that exist. You may need to "mix and match" some body parts, but it wouldn't be too hard as long as you're using same gendered scans with similar height and anatomical features. Sort of the way they 'interpolate' for dinosaur bones.

Is this for a research project?

Good luck!

There are languages where TCO is defined as part of the language spec, specifically to give programmers permission to write this sort of code. Some Lisps (Scheme, I think) and Lua work this way. TCO is a relatively well-understood optimization that isn't prone to being brittle the way e.g. auto-parallelizers or auto-vectorizers can be. So it's less fragile than you'd think.

Go to twitch.tv and look for a game you like to play.
I could see the unreasonable effectiveness of a Lisp (CL or Scheme) beginning with the elegance and programmability that comes from being based on the lambda calculus. But to me it feels like the power of CL comes from having acquired a variety of features that can exactly solve day-to-day problems and edge cases.

Take the condition system: it first struck me as weird and unnecessarily complicated until I encountered the use-case that conditions exactly solve.

I think that comes from engineers using the language being the same engineers who can add features to the language. It's an extreme form of dog-fooding.

It's like a beautiful mathematical core that grew a lot of scar-tissue to handle wordly edge cases.

> First off, have you served? In the USMC? If not, you don't get an opinion.

This is the essence of veteran entitlement that I absolutely loathe. Non-veterans absolutely get to have an opinion about all things military, and they should, given civilian control of DoD. I'm embarrassed by fellow vets like you, USMC or not, who try to lord the fact that they served over others who want to contribute to military-related discussions.
> Honestly... your argument is a year stale. The window on "Tesla can't scale" closed. They did.

They are not building at the scale of the large automakers. To build at the scale of millions of cars per year is significantly more difficult than what Tesla is doing now, and it is not simply a matter of building more of the same factories.
Having that much money and that much control over many thousands of people's livelihoods comes with certain responsibilities. It's in the public interest that we know stability is kept. I think it's a big disingenuous to expect to wield so many resources and not be under a certain amount of scrutiny.
I have worked in many industries e.g. telecommunications, insurance, finance where our challenges are just as big and sophisticated as Google.

If you're doing large scale ML, having to respond to requests in very low millisecond numbers or having to crunch through significant amounts of data (often more than Google produces) then you need to use similar approaches to them.

Even doing ML at all can be quite demanding.

Analysis of the Alexa TopM Sites (April 2019)
The US required Japan to back down from its ambitions during the 80s. Part of it was currency devaluation that debased Japanese industry and inflated the real estate bubble. Of course, Japan had to do it, because you know, they don't have an army. Things are different with China.
Several of these points can be boiled down to "When people say ASCII, they really mean ISO 8859-1 or CP 1252".
Sadly, it looks like those millions of man hours of incremental safety refinement also created a false sense of security. That (and management overriding engineering concerns) are the only explanations I have for how MCAS was implemented: because it had to be able to correct the pitch-up tendency of the 737 MAX and stay "invisible", so additional training could be avoided, Boeing apparently chose to use only one AOA sensor as "single source of truth" - because using both would have increased the chance of the system having to deactivate itself, which would probably have made the FAA mandate the additional training that Boeing wanted to avoid. This is just my personal theory however...
The thing is, at least from my experience, the engineers working in startups know the solution they're implementing is overkill. Its just that everything ends up getting built assuming the startup is going to take off and become the next huge unicorn.

A lot of the time design meetings in a startup revolve around "Is this scalable?" or "What happens when we have 10,000 users or 1 million users?".

I think the problem isn't choosing overkill technologies, the problem is trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist yet and probably never will.

If this is not the biggest human right achievement during that 30 years I dont know what is. I also looked up data from world bank for India and Brazil and they albeit democracies seem less effective toward eliminating their proveties.

Do I want China becomes an even better place? yes. I emigrated but not my close relatives and friends and classmates. I miss them. Can China become a better place by pressure from western countries? I doubt it. It instead makes a great number of Chinese more anti-western.

What can make China a better place in my mind, is western countries showing what real democracy can do to make their own countries better. You bet all the Trump/Brexit/US healthcare/wars/drugs are not making ordinary Chinese more exciting embracing democracy.

Or maybe I'm wrong from the beginning that you are not interested in making China better with those discussions or criticisms.

Security and privacy yet again traded for convenience. We need strict data privacy laws and then I would have a little more trust in large centralized entities that would otherwise have every incentive to abuse people's data.

I am very grateful to be introduced to this concept. During--and occasionally since--a particularly traumatic psilocybin trip some years ago, I had the distinct understanding that my consciousness had only just been put together (or, rather, re-arranged from another, very alien form), memories and all. It is comforting to have such bizarre experiences reflected in others' thought experiments.

Classically, we understand our neurological arrangement to be a function of each last instant's without discomfort. It's another thing entirely to consider how we might have been arranged from wildly different previous states.

Although there's no compelling evidence to support it, neither is there a way to disprove it, I'm afraid.

> but because fuck maintenance, fuck operations, fuck worrying about buffer overflow bugs in OpenSSL, I'll pay Amazon $N/month to do that for me, all that matters is the product.

That's nice in theory, but my experience with paying big companies for promises like that is I still end up having to debug their broken software; and it's a lot easier to do that if I can ssh into the box. I've got patches into OpenSSL that fixed DHE negotiation from certain versions of windows (especially windows mobile), that I really don't think any one's support team would have been able to fix for me / my users [1], unless I had some really detailed explanation -- at that point, I may as well be running it myself.

[1] And as proof that nobody would fix it, I offer that nobody fixed this, even though there were public posts about it for a year before my patches went in; so some people had noticed it was broken.
There's certainly latent demand for a platform that localizes ad photography, although those customers are sensitive to weird artifacts in the generated images. Likely non-trivial r&d investment there.

The clearest immediate opportunity for GANs is generating content where artifacts might add value or are easily ignored (eg. art). The problem here is there's very little tech moat for these businesses given how easy it is to train a GAN. It'd come down to having a valuable, private dataset.

Lots of other potential commercial applications - we list some more on the demo.
I'm all for reducing the traffic, but I think having the streets be only for the wealthy is among the worst ways to solve that problem.

What this article, and the comments on it at the moment, are missing is that developers choose many of these technologies because they are sexy and will help the developer get their next job.

Which of the following two developers has the better chance of breaking six figures next year:

"Used Hadoop, MapReduce, and GCP for fraud detection on..."

...or...

"Used MySQL and some straightforward statistics for fraud detection on..."

This is a big part of why all these things exist in places where they shouldn't. As a dev that always goes for the simplest solution first and has yet to break a hundred k at 40 ... I'm spending my evenings now trying to figure out how to deploy the latest technologies where they're totally not needed.

Will you be satisfied by a dictionary definition:

buses, trains, subways, and other forms of transportation
that charge set fares, run on fixed routes, and are
available to the public.

I will agree, many taxi services are (in practice if not in principle) excluded by this definition. Discriminatory practices with how they select their fares, for instance. Also most don't have fixed routes so you'd have to relax that requirement to allow taxis (but some taxi shuttle services operate on more or less fixed routes).
Not sure what reality people are living in.

But a basic stack can only be used for basic systems and for basic problems. And there just isn't many of these going around anymore as they've all been solved. Or more commonly nobody is interested (including from the business) in delivering something basic. They want to innovate for their users.
Isn’t it a fix point rather?
