Not really a fitting comparison. Snover is describing himself as inventor of power shell, he pushed the project against resistance of his peers/superiors in Microsoft and implemented the first prototype. Without him it simply wouldn’t exist.

Unlikely, as it could play a big role in the whole ongoing public debate about the Trump-Russia connection.

> But the American intelligence community appears very interested in the guy and is known to have been working on extradition process in 2018.

Yep, but "Trump administration" seems to suggest that Trump is directing this, which seems comical to me.
this is actually a really good explanation because it shows in simple pictures and words the concepts so there is no confusion. Well done.
>How can you say that "the alternative is unbearable"is beyond me, unless you're saying it's better to become mentally disabled than suffer from depression?

Most people who would be considered eligible for ECT are actively suicidal; if they are released from hospital, they are almost certain to attempt suicide. Some are suffering from catatonic depression and are too depressed to perform even the most basic tasks, often including eating and drinking. The overwhelming majority are being held on secure psychiatric wards for their own protection. The alternative to ECT is usually death. If you don't understand this (or refuse to acknowledge it), then you don't understand why doctors continue to use ECT.

Chemotherapy is horrible. It makes you constantly and violently nauseous, it makes your hair fall out, it can cause lasting physical damage and the side-effects are sometimes fatal. It's horrible, but it's better than the alternative, which is dying of cancer.

The evidence is overwhelmingly clear that ECT is a life-saving medical intervention.

Is there some blind spot people have when a woman is involved? Achievements by men are run through a gamut of informed and not-so-informed criticism all the time on HN. Bouman is getting standard treatment.
The UK press didn't bother stationing reporters outside because they thought his imminent arrest was just something he was making up for attention. It looks like they've now replaced the stock image with a video from Ruptly, which is part of Russia Today.
Correct. And would have been entirely unnecessary, because they could just wait him out.

If the goal is deterrence, he works just as well as a symbol rotting in the Ecuadorian embassy as either dead or rotting in jail.
The image of the black hole is not sharp. Isn't it possible, that the optics at that distance may make "optical mistakes" and this is not a black hole after all but maybe just some circular lightning or some darker, but not black object before some star - like in solar eclipse?
I love the idea of WikiLeaks exposing corruption, however I think Assange got mad with a power lust and released things that put innocent people in danger unnecesaarily, and then become overly-biased by releasing only anti-DNC/Hillary stuff while sitting on RNC/Trump dirt that they were also rumored to have.
According to manufacturing analysts Munro & Associates, Tesla's electric motors are significantly ahead of the competition. A lot of detail and engineering has gone into squeezing efficiency and performance out of the Model 3. Just because electric motors are simpler than ICE doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement.

The other piece of technology Tesla has is the driving data from all those cars on the road already. This is an important asset for autonomous driving because machine learning benefits from greater volumes of data.

Neither one of these puts Tesla so far ahead of the game that the competition can't catch up. But they're real advantages that could keep Tesla in the game if they can sort out their manufacturing process.

Grand Juries have a very high indict rate, especially federal ones, but there’s arguments about why that is.

One argument is obviously that grand juries are pushovers and indeed would literally indict a ham sandwich.

The other argument, hinted above, is that prosecutors only move to indict if they think they have a chance to win at trial. Since the evidentiary standards are much higher for conviction, that means they easily clear the requirements for the grand jury indictment the vast majority of the time.
Toyota claims that there is no market for high volume non-hybdrid EV.

https://insideevs.com/toyota-no-ev-because-it-wont-sell/
Agreed. Essentially, someone in Assange's situation should be extremely careful, to the point of paranoia, to not get into any sort of trouble with the law because even a minor transgression (though the sexual assault allegations were not minor) could become an opportunity for a much more severe treatment than usual.
While there’s nothing wrong with random forests, they’re a bit of a red flag for me as they’re easy to implement without any real understanding of what’s going on. A lot of junior data scientists just default to saying random forest to solve any problem because it tends to have the most predictive power of the models they’re comfortable with. That’s a bad sign.
Or Alfred's best bet is to go all-in on politics, and affect positive change on a large scale via writing government policy. Capitalism and philanthropy are small potatoes compared to the sort of impact you can have by being a vocal positive force for change.

I agree with your point about incentives in philanthropy though, there are some organizations that do a better job than others about that.

Look at how Assange was critical of the Panama Papers release.

Very obvious which side he is on.
Tesla itself don't have to be the ones manufacturing the batteries. Given that manufacturing seems to be the part of the value chain that Tesla is the worst at, I don't think the gigafactory was ever going to be that valuable or effective anyway.

My experience of working for a massive company in france was we had a "35 hour" workweek, which cadres would regularly ignore. They were typically doing 8:30-7pm or 9pm-7pm.
Thanks. Will be interesting to see what the request is for. The limited amount I have read on the subject makes me think it will have to be very carefully worded - Assange appears not to have stolen anything and is not a citizsn of the US.

It’s very interesting how different parts of the web are reacting to this news. HN seems to overwhelmingly be on his side since he leaked some seriously damning stuff about the US government in the past. Reddit’s view overwhelmingly is that WL was a force for transparency and accountability that later devolved into a right wing propaganda machine. I guess a lot of people are pissed as Assange for WikiLeaks’ role in the 2016 election.
Very sad to hear. From what I know of Berlekamp's academic work, he always had a good sense of fun in his research. Such researchers are a rarity in my experience, and thus bring a very valuable aspect to the research enterprise.

As an aside, not many in information/coding theory know that he was the advisor of Ken Thompson (of UNIX fame) according to Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elwyn_Berlekamp
Perhaps no reasonable doubt, but take a look through this thread if you want to see how many people were accusing Assange for being paranoid and manipulative of his followers

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19632449
Yes, presumption of innocence of the accused.

It's a weird line between accusing the... humans who accused him of false testimony and accusing Assange of serious (however "lesser") sex crimes. But since the integrity of the whole Swedish judicial process (which was too eager to deport him rather throwing the letter of the law at him) is being questioned -- in this thread in particular -- we need to be careful about the character judgement of Assange we're building up to.

There's a new lingo on reddit that I find useful -- "to cosign". I can't, with the information I have (which is not "all the information" neither "all the information well-informed folks have") cosign on the idea that the original accusations were true. It has real implications on the outcome of a trial by jury. I couldn't sleep with that.

Of course, there's a lot I don't know, and my "cosigning" is irrelevant in practice. (But I like the idea of mock-cosigning as an epistemic constraint on these online debates which are also irrelevant for the most part.)

I wrote a spa at my last job using jQuery. It rendered page fragments on a php backend, detached the current fragment, saved it, then appended the new fragment. If a fragment was already downloaded it would hydrate by ajaxing some json.

It was extra work and sometimes brittle but it was also my first "big" web project. Even though it didn't use all the cool new libs and build tools I still learned a lot from it.
I can’t think of a single country where running from a valid warrant claiming fear of extradition doesn’t make you guilty of resisting arrest. Legal systems do not typically respond well when the accused flee.
Do you work in an office with low-level programmers and hardware designers? I do, and I'm one of a handful of women in the building. Actually at the moment, I'm the only one and I'm lobbying for our new hire of managing director to be a woman but it's likely not going to happen because I can't find someone qualified. When I teach in the field at my university, I'm the only woman. And I live in a very popular, large city. Even less, as owners - when I go to a conference of hundreds of businesses, I'm maybe one or 3 or 4 in my field who owns her company. We're not equal yet. Maybe California and the East Coast have some slight more balance, but it's not distributed to the rest of the world yet.

In spite of this, I'm lucky to have an amazing network of other women in my field, and thanks to the internet and cultural exchanges, we don't feel so alone these days.

This is ludicrous hyperbole. The majority of people who receive ECT are successfully treated and go on to live fulfilling lives. ECT is an evidence-based treatment for a life-threatening medical condition.

I need some help unrolling your position.

If someone raped a non-random woman that you were close to and respectful of, would it be reasonable for you to draw a character inference of her rapist?

Would the accused rapist fleeing the jurisdiction to avoid prosecution make you asses his character more positively?

Would you suggest to or feel that a non-random woman that she take one for the team because her rapist is a counter-culture celebrity?
WikiLeaks help trasparancy. Hence, why has no privacy groups made any protests regarding the arrests.
So now Trump has both assange and manning in prison?

Funny how the entire media has been soft on Trump on this matter. You would think "journalists" at CNN, MSNBC, NYTimes, WaPo, etc would be going crazy over Trump's attack on free press, leakers and people holding power to account. Who has done more to try and hold power to account than assange and manning?

Wonder what the economist is going to write? After all he won their "New Media Award" in 2008 along with Amnesty International UK Media Awards and a few Free Speech awards.

Let me guess what's going to happen next. The media is going to start pushing "sweden sex abuse" and anti-assange and anti-manning stories.
Regarding #1, there is no law in the US criminal code against publishing classified information. It's certainly illegal for a journalist to actively steal classified information, or conspire with others to do so, but just publishing is fine.

Under some circumstances a journalist can be forced to appear in court and reveal his sources. And if he refuses to answer he can be held in contempt.
> I feel like when people say ‘realist’ in this context, they mean someone who believes that ordinary intuitions about the way the world works are how the world must work at all levels.

From the article:

> Like Einstein, Smolin is a philosophical ‘realist’ — someone who thinks that the real world exists independently of our minds and can be described by deterministic laws.

So no, they don’t.

Also, realism is consistent with quantum experiment — non-realism is merely an interpretation that’s had more developers work on it, not somehow a proven component of reality. (Commonly called Copenhagen interpretation; MWI and Bohmian are other interpretations; arguably loop quantum gravity too.)

I agree with Smolin: non-realism is an extraneous assumption meant to preserve locality, but reality is empirically non-local.

Ironically, it’s actually the non-realists who are guilty of what you say — they can’t let go of their Euclidean intuitions, and so come up with nonsense like denying realism. Their entire model is fundamentally predicated on things looking like a smooth Euclidean space at all scales below some threshold — that is, that reality all the way down looks like what we see when we look around.

Non-realists insist on a Euclidean world despite contrary experimental evidence.

If you view energy as distributed across the topology of your space, which often is radically non-Euclidean, you immediately have realism back — the world just is nothing like what’s in front of your eyes. (Enter loop quantum gravity.)
> If he was anyone else the british authorities would’ve quickly forgotten about him jumping bail.

I must say, I never really felt like that. I never saw another man do something great and then thought "hey, I can also do that, since I am also a man".

In the same vein, I never quite understood fandom of soccer, for example. If "my" team (or my country) wins in soccer, I never felt like it was my achievement somehow. The athletes trained really hard to become good at soccer. I didn't train hard. So I don't feel like I deserve a share of their glory.

And I never felt like every other man, just because I am also a man. Some other men are smarter than me, or more athletic, or more attractive. I never thought I am simply the same, just because I am a man.

Of course, I take not of your view, if you felt like that, it can't be argued with. Just in my personal opinion, it doesn't really make sense. Unless it concerns something that is gender specific, like giving birth. I am not looking at women giving birth and think "I could do that" - I definitely can't, because I am a man...

markov chains are very simple at their core (e.g. simple version could be: take the probability of the next word given the known probabilities of words that follow the previous word)

it can be implemented in a few lines of code, that's the beauty of it: https://github.com/justindomingue/markov_chains/blob/master/...

obviously then you could take the previous n words into account, tweak the starting word, add randomness, etc.

now replace "word" with "state" and "probability(next state | previous state)" to edges of a graph: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/54e50c15e4b058fc6806d...

and you got a generic markov chain :)

The Russian press are all over any story they can spin to make it look like the West isn't the bastion of freedom, equality and democracy it claims to be - basically, anything which makes us look like our own papers' descriptions of Russia. So that doesn't say much.

(Also, ironically this BBC article and other outlets are having to use a video of Assange's arrest from Ruptly, a subsidiary of Russia Today, because they bought into their own narrative about his impending arrest being a construct of his own imagination so hard they didn't have any reporters outside to catch it.)

Sadly, I can't view your images on my device, but I have a '96 Presario that's fairly close in vintage; it has what I presume you are describing. The program resides on a hidden DOS partition on the HDD. While novel, it's a bit unfortunate, as there's no configuration program in ROM, so without that partition (or the multi-disk floppy set) you can't configure the CMOS settings.
Excellent explanation. Too bad it's necessary. && and std::move are the biggest warts in C++ (that's saying a lot), representing the need for programmers to be constantly aware of the less-than-obvious ways that a compiler might put an expression in one category or another. It's the programmer helping the compiler, instead of the other way around as it should be. In general, if I need an rvalue and it's legal to convert the lvalue I have into an rvalue, the compiler should do it automatically. Having to make it explicit should be the exception, not the rule. The compiler does many other kinds of inference and automatic promotion/conversion, some of them far more difficult (and dangerous). Why not this one? I suspect the reason has less to do with the actual ergonomics of producing correct programs than with the the interests and self-image of those creating the standards.
From my personal experience, I would advise against wasting time building something you haven't validated with companies/people that are in the targeted market. Always validate, create MVP and then actually invest a lot more into building it - because if you aren't adding value your chances for success are slim to none.

I know it's hard in practice, but this will save you a lot of time, resources and energy for other important things.
