This is why I'd wish we stopped seeing people's individual achievements in relation to the groups they belong to. I've noticed recently whenever a girl or black guy achieves anything some people (often rightly) become suspicious that their achievements are being exaggerated or are due to quotas or affirmative action. And that robs the individual of the credit they deserve.

Semantics. The host country is prevented from entering, searching, seizing people or persons, or otherwise enforcing its laws in any way. The soil is technically still British, but so long as he had Ecuador's cooperation, he was entirely outside the reach of UK law.

So by the dictionary definition of sovereignty -- "supreme power or authority" the sovereign inside the walls of the embassy is Ecuador, not the UK, since the UK has no de facto authority there. But by the definition of "sovereignty" applied to issues of land ownership, the interior space of the building is technically still British and would revert back to enforceable UK legal jurisdiction when the mission is over.

So really you could argue it either way.

No, they chose not to interview him at the embassy or via weblink, because had they done so, the case would have been closed. They rather keep it open.
I agree. Initial boom, then loss of faith, but in the long run probably eventually will all be some form of crypto.
The challenge with going big is that the risks and costs raise substantially, while the price of having a local expert to manage both the drive and any eventualities (ie a human driver), isn't changing much...

Long-haul routes are important, and shaving minutes off deliveries is a big deal. Improved driver logistics and routing are probably wildly more profitable than automation (and risks of highly visible automation failures).

I'm copying my comment I made on reddit, but let me first preface by saying that I think that the accomplishments of Katie Bouman are entirely praiseworthy on their own merits. I don't mean to diminish the value of what she has done, I only mean to comment on what I believe you're arguing against.

I think you're ignoring the other part of that pattern, which is that there is absolutely a propensity for posts of a given nature, i.e. "this is _the_ person who invented/achieved XYZ," featuring a woman or a disenfranchised minority figure, only for it to be specifically disingenuous and hyperbolic, and attempting to promote a truth on the basis of a different objective altogether. A good example were the multiple posts on the front page of reddit regarding Mary Beatrice Davidson inventing the sanitary pad (she didn't). Vice, among others, wrote about the same topic. https://broadly.vice.com/en_us/article/mb5yap/mary-beatrice-...

Similarly, the _only_ inventor of _any_ toy that I'm aware of is Lonnie Johnson, the black man who invented the super soaker and has been shared on Reddit countless times.

Even Margaret Hamilton, as mentioned. I've seen her with her stack of code on Reddit at least 3x, and she's the only NASA engineer I'm even aware of.

If you Google "American Inventors," not only is Thomas Edison the only white man in the first results, but the inventor of peanut butter and the super soaker displace Alexander Graham Bell and Nikola Tesla. I just googled it.

https://i.imgur.com/Qu0PPiU.jpg

Mind you, this isn't to say that you'll find Margaret Hamilton mentioned more often than Albert Einstein. What is being discussed here is not objective quantities of exposure, but the distortion of ideological lens, and to what degree it is present.

Where I think that you'd fundamentally disagree with my assessment is if I were to posit the question, "would this have had 5 different posts on the front page of reddit, specifically attributing the success of the project to a specific person, if that person had been a white or Asian male?" I think the kneejerk reaction might be "of course we would, having the achievements of white and Asian men is the default position of our society." But think about it. Would the American inventors in the google results have been there for their exact same accomplishments, if not for the color of their skin? Be honest. Would Mary Davidson have had multiple threads praising her if not for her gender and the color of her skin? Again, be honest.

In this case of Katie Bouman, the unfortunate thing is that, again, this is a monumental achievement, and the majority of the praise is totally justifiable completely independent of any ideological lens. But the lens is also in effect, make no mistake, and that's what you are seeing a reaction to. This is the problem with identity politics.

TL;DR you're almost certainly correct that the majority of the comments you see of that nature are on posts like this regarding women, but I think it's because posts of this nature are predominately about women and minorities, and often hyperbolic and patronizing.
Because she's a woman.

I commute into central Edinburgh from Fife - I wouldn't say it expensive (£12 return) and it's pleasant journey (maybe once a month I have to stand for 15 mins on the way home). The equivalent journey by car would be much more expensive due to parking costs, take much longer and, in my view, be rather unpleasant.

I like having a car - but not for commuting into the center of a city!

I mean I really hope you're right, but betting markets have odds on that at about 30%, which for me doesn't count as "very likely"

The English legal system moves sloooooooowly. I mean not third-world slowly, but the McKinnon case had what, a decade in it?

As a sibling comment noted, I was wrong to talk about the ECJ, when the ECHR is what's important. Interesting to see how that thrashes out post-Brexit.
It's absurd to say that Wikipedia has an "insanely high barrier to entry". You click "Edit" and that's it - you don't even have to create an account. It's hard to imagine a lower barrier to entry. Of course, the flip side is that anybody can revert your change as well; your edit is not sacred. I mean, what alternative do you propose? That Wikipedia should never revert edits? Change into Everything2?

No, the UK is sovereign inside the Ecuadorian embassy. The authorities are prevented from entering by international treaties that they've signed.

If international treaty obligations block sovereignty, then the UK isn't sovereign within the UK either (!), since there are certainly international treaties signed by the UK which prevent the UK authorities doing certain things within the UK. For example, the UK authorities cannot usually arrest diplomats, regardless of whether or not the diplomat is in an embassy.
This is a risk, yes. I don’t necessarily think it’s a big problem.

First off, you’re describing premeditated, wilfully fraudulent behaviour. I suspect a lot of the problems are either less deliberate (you react to new information by making changes to your hypothesis or protocol without stopping to think what that does to your experiment’s reliability), crimes of opportunity (“this is so close, there’s no harm in fudging it a little bit, right?”) or a combination of both. It’s ok to enact rules that fight pervasive small issues while doing nothing about rare malicious behaviour!

Even the malicious behaviour would become much harder though. First off, the strategy you described only works for setups where the data collection stage is relatively short. If it takes a long time, then the fraudster’s timelines start looking suspicious. Second, that type of behaviour could really harm you if caught.
When you add up the amount of money that Americans spend on car payments, auto insurance, and gasoline every year, if that same amount of money were spent on public transit you’d have a really nice system which would also be self-driving from the rider’s point of view.
The price various a lot.

- In Belgium you can ride from anywhere in the country to anywhere else for 7.5€ (if you buy a prepaid ticket for 10 rides), which is hard to beat even with a car with great mileage.

- In Portugal, you can go from Lisbon to Porto for 15€ (buying a couple weeks in advance). By car, that won't even cover the tolls.
right. but is it actually any good at it?
> it seems to gloss over what differences the trees within the random forest have - as I understand it, they are all slightly different, and this gives them greater accuracy?

They kinda cover it in the section in 3.1 and 3.2 with Bagging and Bagging -> RandomForest, but it'd be good for them to explain Boosted Trees here as well.

As far as I understand it, random forests are an aggregation of trained trees based on randomly sampled data points from the original data set. It doesn't necessarily make them more accurate on the training dataset, but it makes them more generalised and less likely to overfit (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overfitting), because the different trees are likely to focus on different characteristics of the dataset.

Boosted trees do become more accurate, as they resample, but give more priority to data points that weren't correctly classified by the earlier models.
This is the way it is. Anyone who's worked in the industry (or any industry?) knows from experience that this is the way it is. I'm sure that there are data available.

A quick Googling for "productivity vs hours worked" led me to this:

Panasonic's issue seems to be:

> Panasonic's Tesla EV battery business had operating losses exceeding 20 billion yen [~180m USD] in the financial year that ended in March, up from a year earlier. The losses were exacerbated by delays in the start of production of the Model 3.

It's not entirely clear to me from the article whether this loss stems from the operations itself, or from the reduction in demand for the model 3. Either way, it's bad news for Tesla.
"One accuser, Anna Ardin, may have “ties to the US-financed anti-Castro and anti-communist groups,” according to Israel Shamir and Paul Bennett, writing for CounterPunch.

While in Cuba, Ardin worked with the Las damas de blanco (the Ladies in White), a feminist anti-Castro group."

Israel Shamir is not only the spokesperson for Wikileaks Russia, he is also bat-shit insane. Accusing people of being CIA operatives is right up his alley.

I don't really think she's getting special treatment because of her gender though. I think she's in the spotlight because:

3/ There's a brilliant photo of her initial reaction to the image that captures the excitement of scientific discovery circulating on the internet
That New Zealand thing was an amusing read. I'm not actually as concerned with archiving itself as I am with having an offline cache of the data in my library for convenience. Also having an immutable snapshot (not necessarily static) seems important somehow.

Agreed. But it is ironic.

Health insurers are among the most inept, bloated bureaucratic institutions in the United States. Even without the built in inefficiency that comes with having your program-level capability micromanaged by Congress, they suck at fraud protection and spend a lot of time on subrogation and dependent audits. Their incentive is to deny, disqualify, and delay to defer expense, preferably into the next plan year.

Medicare has some of the power of government procurement and enforcement behind it. They pay for outcomes, not procedures, which addresses many common frauds and provides a strong discouragement for unnecessary procedures. The holes are usually around equipment and prescriptions... and the issue there is a governance issue at the congressional level.

There is a lot of negative sentiment around Tesla lately. The Giga Factory was supposed to be Tesla's greatest asset, its largest advantage in the market, that enables exponential growth of production and sales. It looks like bears are coming for Tesla if they don't step up their game.
I mean, I don't want to go all _Tu quoque_ here, but if you think that's a one-way street then I think you're being a little naive. Examples (in English) from two German news sources:

"We" the people can already invest billions into public transport if we collectively decide to do so. What the car companies are investing in has nothing to do with that.

Your comment is disingenuous, because it implies that one is blocking the other, but it's obviously not.

That's ridiculous reasoning, if there was evidence he could be convicted without ever being interviewed or being present.
Well it's been a day or two since I've had a comment buried so I might as well not mince words.

It's an incredibly difficult problem and Ford is way behind. So it makes sense for him to try to reduce expectations.

On the other hand, there are a lot of other companies than Ford doing self driving cars, and some are very advanced.

It is really amazing to me that people are still in denial about the existence of self driving cars.

They have existed and worked with various limitations for decades. The latest from Tesla and Waymo are still limited in some ways but also extremely capable.

Teslas can now do all of the driving from one freeway to another up until you enter a normal street.

Waymo is way beyond that. From what the riders are saying at r/selfdrivingcars, the only time the employees actually need to take over are occasions where there are very risky maneuvers in heavy traffic. Now, I believe they could relax the safety parameters and the cars would execute the same as the Waymo employees in those situations. It's just that there is no margin for error sometimes with traffic and if there is an accident at this stage they want to be able to blame the employee.

So what's holding Waymo back from removing the employees from the car is mainly just an abundance of caution.

You think wrong. The police decides all the time to call off operations. There is a difference between dropping the charges (that one they probably wouldn't do) and stopping the 24/7 patrolling of the embassy.

That's an old article (July 2018), but I couldn't find anything more recent about that specific aspect of the case.
You are delusional. You talk about him like he's your creepy neighbor from the street. This guy messed with dangerous people for the sake of truth. He is being prosecuted by the most powerful country in the world with by far the most reach outside its own borders. All his trouble began after he leaked US butchery in Iraq.

You think his self-imposed exile is an egotistical act instead of what it really is: Step outside and you're gone. I would really like to see what your actions would be in this situation. But you don't seem the type to risk your own life for the sake of others knowing the truth.

But if you think your option (b) of him being creepy is the one that makes more sense even after the fact that the woman has proven ties with the CIA than I feel sorry for you and our society because that represents the death of what I think is one of the most important pillars of modern civilization: freedom of press.
Today my friends, I think we can all agree is a sad day, I know JA has been accused of some bad things and it would seem they may be true, but it's what he stands for, this is a loss for liberty all around the world.

> I don't think Assange has broken any US laws for which he can be extradited

There is a sealed indictment of Assange in US district court that was inadvertently leaked when some documents were improperly redacted. [1]

There were later reports based on chat logs that Assange solicited or participated in hacking attempts to obtain email documents during the 2016 political campaign.[2]

Active solicitation of or participation in illegal hacking is a crime in US law and there is no exception for 'journalists'.

There is a sealed indictment against him in EDVA which was accidentally released. He has been most certainly accused of breaking United States laws.

Edit: To indict someone, the government has to show the grand jury that there is sufficient evidence. It is very easy to indict someone (hence the phrase “A ham sandwich can be indicted by the grand jury”) but one has to acknowledge the fact that the federal government has very high win rate for the cases that do go to trial (93% in 2012)

Edit2: The above statistic is for the cases that go to trial and plea deals. Only 3% of the cases go to trial.
It was certainly all over social media, plus several major outlets were quite open about not stationing reporters outside the embassy because clearly he was just crying wolf. That's probably why this BBC article just has a stock image.
It would if he's actually extradited to US.
They don't want to be in the hands of whoever gets that solution, who will surely gouge them for all they've got. Investing in alternative solutions is an hedge.

There is no such thing as "one species that evolves into another completely different species".

Each generation is a tiny bit different compared to the previous. Split a population of animals into two based on a geographical divider or so, make the circumstances slightly different so that slightly different traits give better survivability in each group, and over a long long time they'll drift apart. Then humans come along and decide they're different enough to call them different species.

But if the original species was an ape, then both new groups are still apes. Just like they stay mammals, just like they stay arthropods.

We can do genetic analysis that shows the above to have happened all the time, and by looking at which genes two species have in common and which have diverged we can estimate how long ago the last common ancestors lived.

And the last common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees is more recent than the last common ancestor of humans and orang utans (that ancestor is also the last common ancestor of chimpanzees and orang utans, of course).

So if chimpanzees and orang utans are apes, then we must also be apes.

Remaining options include:
1. give date(month year) of email sign-up, which most don't remember

2. pasword reset over alternate email address, which wasn't set during signup.

The only way for free gmail users to get help is support forum ran by gmail user volunteers, which didn't solve the problem.
