I think revising upwards is them looking for other bugs of the same type, and finding lots.

I can totally imagine someone on the instagram photo pinch-to-zoom team saying "Whoa - if someone re-logs in while a photo is partially zoomed, our metrics capture the password. Thats bad!". They find thats super-rare, and only impacts 10k users.

Later, other logfiles are grepped for passwords (possibly even by doing a fulltext search across all fields and blobs for common passwords), and more and more are found.

Then someone says "but some of our data is in fields base64 encoded - did you try grepping for base64 encoded plaintext", and even more are found, etc.

There's an interesting point here somewhere about how a story being of greater cultural impact than the icon that it choose to portray. And yet most people would probably say that the icon itself, the cathedral, is of much greater cultural significance than the story. Or perhaps the two can't really be separated.

>If actual mathematicians worked on this problem,

This is a No True Scotsman. Actual mathematicians did work on this problem, training the neural network to achieve it's target task of identifying songs using minimal power and storage consumption - which works.
Of course. I'm not advocating for no deadlines. I'm advocating for flexibility.

If your deadline arrives and you can honestly say you've worked hard but haven't met it, consider extending the deadline in the name of quality.

Again, this takes discipline. You have to be honest with yourself if you are just moving the deadline back because you were slacking. In my case many times, the deadline was not hit because the scope of the project was underestimated. We were working hard on a new technology stack, but missed the deadline. Rather than delay the product, CEO decided to launch (despite our warnings).

Needless to say, the brand suffered.

I understand its a tug of war. Managers need to put out something. Engineers are never ready. The art in it all, is finding the balance. Being flexible to listen to your engineers, and knowing them well enough to trust them.

I want my child to have as much autonomy as possible early on. Like before the age of 10 if she can ride her bike across town to her friends house or get on a bus to the mall or playground or library, I will be very happy.

The the automobile traffic terrifies me. Having the ability to see when she's safely off the road, or if she's stopped in a place that seems like it could be an accident could be the difference between me choosing to afford her all that freedom or not.

Also, I won't ask her to habitually carry any kind of traffic device without giving here equivalent visibility into my movements.

You need to do both.

Real users will find routes through your app that automated tests never consider. For example, what if the users 1-year login cookie expires as they're on step 3 of a 4 step "change your avatar" process. That's highly unlikely, and probably not even tested. Yet it might well work (due to good modular design), but also log inappropriate data.

>you do realize that NN/AI is totally state of the art for many tasks?

Being state of the art doesn't imply that these things will solve these problems. In ML terms, how do you know that NN/AI isn't a local maxima that we need to jump out of? All NLP systems are joke. Sure replace Watson with DL, might perform better on Jeopardy. But in real conversations? Forget it.

I wouldn't bet on these things. NN will win, but not the back propagation, ReLu, sigmoid or whatever pseudo science that is the current buzzword. There is 50 years worth of understanding in actual neuroscience and cognitive modelling that no one has paid attention to, and new design principles are emerging that will influence mathematics.
As someone who is technical in computer science and non-technical in physics and astronomy, "pulsars may spew bits of exotic matter that convert everything they touch" and "scientists have found literally the first molecule" are equally believable to me.
This happens all the time, likely as the side-effect of some other activity - instrumentation related to exception handling / error monitoring, performance analysis, debugging, etc.

Obviously Boeing didn't think they'd have planes falling out of the air (that's bad for business), but I suspect the drive to remain competitive and keep shareholders happy led those further down in the organization to push sloppy solutions (as the article described). That's been my lifelong experience working professionally in the US. It's hard to believe those design oversights mentioned were missed by multiole teams of people.

As the article pointed out, Boeing did their best to keep these software system changes as quiet as they could, so they wouldn't have to go through a new certification process, which is extremely costly (less costly than having planes crash though). That's not something you do when safety is the top priority but it is when the priority is profit.

My central point though is that inherently in the framework of capitalism, the endless pursuit to increase profits by reducing costs (and increasing revenue) will inevitably lead you to the opposite in order to find the optimums you seek. Sometimes, business choices that seem good lead to losses or choices that seem bad lead to gains. You often have to fail (cross the boundaries) in order to see where the boundaries of success lie for various cost saving attributes. All businesses play this game and safety is one of many factors always on the chopping block. Sometimes you have to push safety to see exactly how much investment in safety is truly needed.
Maybe your understanding of socialist ideas is a little bit simple. Limited government (and even no government, like anarchism) is at the bedrock many strains of socialism. There is no "one socialism" just as there isn't "one capitalism". To attribute a big government to socialism is simply ignorant.

Facebook can afford that out of pocket change. Bluster about unexpected expenses will not precede any changes to plans. Somebody at FB just thought they should be pushing back, on principle.

But the offer to Facebook was not authorized by statute, so the contract is void. They will end up having to negotiate a new contract, with terms consistent with State law, if they want any its power. (They can build their own solar farm if they like; it is sunny in NM much of the time.)
It uses both - the neural network creates it's own acoustic fingerprint database, which it then uses to perceive sound.
This shrinks the traditional acoustic fingerprinting data enough to be stored on mobile devices, while allowing for a low-power "always-on" identification offline.

It's analogous to a human being able to identify songs by remembering the chorus, just that the NN uses it's own features for both the memory and offline perception.

>In 2017 we launched Now Playing on the Pixel 2, using deep neural networks to bring low-power, always-on music recognition to mobile devices. In developing Now Playing, our goal was to create a small, efficient music recognizer which requires a very small fingerprint for each track in the database, allowing music recognition to be run entirely on-device without an internet connection.

Is there a list of SMB ports online somewhere? I was searching the other day and found some scattered info but didn't find quite what I was looking for.
You know something, we already have police patrolling the streets, and even if it were only open 16 hours a day, that’s still 16 hours of availability.

So really, we just don’t have enough, and I don’t think anyone really cares if people are actually shooting up drugs in a bathroom. That’s better than doing it in playgrounds or on park trails and leaving the needles strewn around.

It isn’t that we can’t. It completely makes sense to open up more public restrooms. We are simply choosing not to and making excuses for our choices. “The solution” is nothing. If you want people living in the streets to take a dump somewhere other than just the streets, give them a place to actually do it. Make them common. Make them regular. Make them staffed. Make them clean and well plumbed. Make them high throughout so any member of the public can use them. And even add biohazard collection bins if you feel it is necessary.
Also, this is awesome.
Could someone please ELI5 what exactly went wrong that caused the crash? I read the article but I still don't understand if the crash was caused by

(a) The MCAS doing something it wasn't programmed to do (by specification)

(b) MCAS was working as expected, but the expectations/assumptions were wrong (excluding pilot mistakes).

(c) MCAS worked as designed, and the design was correct IF the pilots behaved like Boeing expected them to.

Or has this question not been answered yet? I am talking purely from the software correctness point of view, irrespective of the fact that using software to work around this problem was already bad design.

I may have read too much into the wording of your description there, my apologies.

Still, who you're shown to and how often is very much algorithmic on existing platforms. People with high rankings are typically shown first and thus get a disproportionate amount of attention.

For the system you describe to work equitably (setting aside one gender swipes first), you would need to be shown in non-ranked fashion to users. Major platforms generally don't do that right now for a myriad of reasons which include supply/demand realities, user retention, and straight up greed.
I do this already, for both user passwords, but also accidental leaking of internal company data into logfiles.

It also checks for base64 encoded versions of the data (with various alignments). There is also an alert if data is unscannable (due to compression or encryption).

The check is done at logs ingestion points, but also on outgoing http requests from webdriver automated tests (since some third party scripts might be shipping the data off to someone else's server).

The scanned for words are:

* the top 100 passwords, excluding things used as test strings.
* A few company specific passwords.
* A few testing passwords
* A few random strings which are also deliberately inserted into source code files in places that should never (by design) pass between client and server.
Isn't lacking such nicities part of what keeps Go simple enough that forking the runtime is a relatively lightweight approach? The other extreme is a toolchain clever enough it requires carnal knowledge of its workings to coax reliable performance out of it
I think for clarity, the article should touch on the magnitude of the power output in human terms.

For example, some models of the Nissan Leaf electric car have a small solar panel on the roof.

Surprisingly, I think this is a selling point for the car or the option package that includes the panel because people think this car will give you many miles of free driving.

However, it's supposed to maintain the 12v battery, but its 5 watts of power might not be sufficient power for even that minor task.
Erlang VM is actually design around full CPU utilization. It will typically spin up a thread for each core and schedule processes (Erlang not system) across them. It's actually because it's designed to not share memory that it excels at parallelism!

Hire when it saves money. And certainly hire before it gets too bad because every hire takes a while to learn.

One of the key ideas here is congestion. Nobody should work up to 100% capacity. When you pass a certain treshhold, their effectiveness drops sharply, similar to how traffic jams happen. For each person, and different scopes of work, the treshhold is different.

You'll want to hire when people are crossing that treshhold.

Also remember that by hiring someone, you're adding the workload of training, so don't do it too late.

There are too many homeless in San Francisco.

Additionally, California has too few wolves.

I propose that we release wolves into the streets of San Francisco once per month.

This will lower the homeless population will simultaneously helping the wolf population rebound to record numbers.

It seems like what you're really getting at is that when you have a control like this where there's a non-linearity in response for a linear change in input quantity, what you really want to do is instead have a non-linear change in input quantity so that there is a linear response. In that case, you would characterize the effect of the control on the response variable and arrive at a table of acceptable values. Then your +=1 becomes an increment of an index which returns the next-highest acceptable value and you no longer produce a non-linear change in the response.

Thanks for answering!

As far as pricing if I'm comparing against, say, Firebase your pricing seems higher for less infrastructure but I understand that Firebase wouldn't be an apples-to-apples comparison given your enterprise-data-integrations value-adds.

I guess it's just hard to swallow the idea of building an entire app with your platform then potential having high cost of scaling- but again, I understand why some may not see it that way and be happy with that pricing.

If you had lower monthly base plans and then pay-as-you-go for each functionality like the serverless functions, no. of end-users, etc. then it'd seem more attractive.

Anyway I'm sure your guys have put a lot of thought into the pricing so this is just from a web dev's perspective!
Homer's a bit of an unusual case. The Illiad was the first written work produced after a long dark age (or close to it; I'm not sure where the consensus is right now on whether Hesiod came earlier), so Homer was drawing on a few centuries of pent-up oral tradition from a culture that had itinerant hostorian-poets. As such, he probably didn't compose all his own verses but could well have been the first to write them down. I'm not sure how effective the technique referred to in the article (stylometry) would be at teasing apart the distinction between composer-of-verse and author-of-lines.
Ultimate was hugely popular in the social circles I went to college and worked with. It's faster-paced than football, has relatively little risk of injury, and the rules are easy to explain.

Totally agree. My business partner started gardening from her balcony and blogging about the challenges, which then got several of us into it as well. I now have five raised beds, more than a dozen pots, some vertical planters made from eaves, and a good plant that feels like something out of Little Shop of Horrors.

It's such a connective thing for me now. Stress relief, feeling control over my food source, talking to neighbours more often, and thinking about food sources. Highly recommended gardening to anyone looking for a great and fairly easy hobby.

Ultimately it was not a technical failure: the failure was in allowing the plane to be sold with such a thoroughly bad design. Thus, a management and regulatory failure. Regulatory, because FAA signed off on it, obviously without applying any of the process that would have prevented it. Management, because the cost of this debacle will be many, many times what they saved by trying to skate by with a faulty design.

> I used to be a big fan of "more than one way to do it"

I used to firmly believe that that was the way a programming language should be. Let me do what I want to do, however I want to do it.

I've finally found myself falling in to almost the complete opposite, with a small addition: "There should be one way to do it, and it should be obvious"

Python mostly scratches that itch for me, but even there it has multiple methods to do the same stuff within the standard library, like list.sort() and sorted(list) https://medium.com/@DahlitzF/list-sort-vs-sorted-list-aab92c...

Avoiding charged terms doesn't have to mean avoiding the discussion. If you're trying to teach a 3 year old about their body you'll probably be using the anatomically correct words rather than the filthiest slang that exists in your area.

I don't see how you can hide destination IP. Each router has to know the destination IP to determine where to send the packet, yes there are some cases such as MPLS/VXLAN/v4VPN where the packet is encapsulated inside more routing info but for it to get to its destination the routers have to have an IP.
