From the "Introduction to Volume II:" "... if we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, however, we are unable to reach that judgment. The evidence we obtained about the President 's actions and intent presents difficult issues that prevent us from conclusively determining that no criminal conduct occurred. Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him."

Hadith wrote a book called The Coddling of the American Mind that shows this is really not the case. Crime and abductions were going down long before the Internet era and the era of modern helicopter parents. Most of the fear around these very uncommon events have made parents tether their children today and restrict their free play. This in turn can affect how they form bonds, make friends and view the world.

He makes the argument this is why college campuses today are a bit mad, with students unable to deal with speech and ideas they don't like, labeling it as hate speak and calling on condemnation and suppression of free though.

While I sort of agree in principle an I would probably never pay more than what a regular flagship costs (mostly because I tend to hand on to them for 3+ years), your judgmental tone is off base. I'm sure some do it for status but there's nothing to prop up your generalization. You're judging and insulting people just because their preferences or interests are different from yours. You're on a very technical site, you should understand that some things are also done for a passion for tech. People who have 2000E for a phone can probably show off their "disposable income" in many other ways.

Would you say the same about people who bought the first PCs or Amigas? Because I can assure you HN is full of them and they most definitely didn't do it (mainly) for status.

This is the worst thing I've ever seen.

You will find plenty of linguists who feel that misusing terminology and making inaccurate claims like you did does more harm than good. It would have better had those comments not been posted at all, but once they are posted, then someone has to call them out as flawed. Calling them out as flawed is not “showing how far I [or anyone else] is above” a particular poster. It is simply an attempt to help the community here out by encouraging readers to get their information from some other, more reliable source.

You’ll find that HN tends to react badly to inaccurate posting on any scientific field, and one of the great things about this venue is that there are many trained people in various sciences who can call out wrong as wrong.
My first impression: This is a good thing overall. But then I think, well some other bidder will do it. And what if they do a worse job? Does that lead to detaining the wrong person? Is that better?
Soylent’s New Product. It’s Food
What's the practical alternative to parents parenting the way they like? The choices we make for our kids are almost surely different than the choices you make for yours and the many "theys" for the many "theirs". I think that's a feature of the system, not a bug.

That some parents make terrible choices is on them, not on society, IMO.
>removed [...] due to it no longer being supported
I guess we'll worry about that when we get there. There are plenty of real problems in the US system of law that we really shouldn't be trying to fix hypothetical problems that don't exist yet.
Your kid can dart into the street even when you're with them. You should teach your kids about traffic safety at an early age, and ideally have made this particular trip with them several times before so that they (1) know how to behave and (2) don't get lost and (3) have been introduced to the shopkeep and others in the neighborhood.

It's pretty easy to gradually ramp up to this and to continue ramping up to more indepdendence at a much faster pace than most parents do.

Funny, I read the "Alt-Tab" change and said "Finally!" I have a "scratch box" that I noodle around with and that I'm just running the stock desktop, and the alt-tab default was driving me crazy. It's unexpected, as someone who doesn't use it very often. (My normal desktop is i3wm).

Updating is going to be a huge pain. It always is, for one reason: Nvidia. I need CUDA for ML, and nouveau is so bad anyway that 18.10 wouldn't even boot on my machine when I tried to install it.

It's guaranteed that if I upgrade right now I will be troubleshooting black screens, hangs, and compiler incompatibilities for hours if not days in an attempt to install a working set of ML tools including up to date drivers and CUDA.

It's sad that one required proprietary component ruins the whole experience. But there's no other option for ML research. AMD just isn't investing enough.

>Infants don't understand the concept of privacy

I'm not sure this is limited to infants, though I realize it isn't an apples-to-apples comparison. People don't realize how they're being tracked by the devices they carry around, or the kinds of data they're willingly giving up. And even if it is explained, it doesn't seem to sink in that there is a wide-open window into their lives through which certain entities can easily peer.

It's the difference between MacOS or Windows default behavior. Alt-tab between windows has always been the default on Windows, and it was the default for most open source window managers for a long time too. I believe Gnome changed their default to follow how MacOS worked a few years back. Now it seems Ubuntu is reverting back (or is this a Gnome change again?).

Different people prefer different defaults. Personally I can't stand the MacOS version, and for the few years I used MacOS, it drove me nuts. That said, I don't use Ubuntu, so this doesn't matter to me either way.

They only way to implement this securely is if the stuff is self hosted. You setup a device in your home that can open up a port via uPNP, the watch connects directly to the device using a shared set of keys that never goes to a central server, and all the code on the watch and home server are open source and they are setup by default for regular, automatic, signed updates.

There can still be security issues in this situation, but if enough people use it and hack on it, they have a better chance of getting fixed quickly.

The trouble is, this type of setup is a nightmare to implement. Home routers today still make this incredibly difficult. Most people would just get frustrated and prefer something that has a central server, with closed source garbage, that seems to do everything for you.

Plus there's more money to be made if you can collect all that customer data.
This is less true than it used to be. Oracle/SAP are largely recognized as multi-billion dollar technology quagmires these days; integration has become so much easier that cobbling together a bunch of SaaS solutions to replace a centralized ERP is a viable approach.

Likewise, IBM has become known as a vaporware vendor. They combine the worst parts of management consulting with an offshore / outsourced development process, so I guess it’s not a surprise they ended up like all the other companies that sell business tech solutions (Infosys, Wipro, etc). They’re often mentioned in the same breath these days.

This is why I personally like MATE. I remember when they switched from Gnome 2 to Unity, and I just stopped using Ubuntu until I discovered Mint, which I installed with MATE and the rest was history.

I've moved on from Mint, but the fact that the MATE dev community took the tried and true paradigms learned from Gnome 2 and made kept them alive in spirit won me over. I installed Ubuntu MATE to a box just the other day.
I think you mean 20.04 LTS.
I don’t think your comment is particularly constructive. Radical change versus reform is an age-old debate that is not going to be solved on this forum. Your comments along the lines of “it’s impossible to even discuss the possibility of radical change” are silly... you’re doing it right now. I’m open to hearing radical ideas, but please make them more concrete.

P.S. I have been in your shoes. I have literally said the exact same things as you. So I get where you’re coming from.

As a parent, I don't need any statistics.
If there is a device that can help me to find my daughter if she get lost accidentally - I don't see reasons to don't use it. She can't talk yet but she loves to run to some forbidden place if she has any chance to do this.
That depends on whether they're the type of parent who instantly concludes "OMG abduction" or the type whose mind goes to the much more likely, nuisance-level scenario.
If you are using it as a working environment, you probably should stick to LTS releases.

Has anyone tried it? I tried running the make future, but something seems to be borked and I don't want to invest any time in debugging right now. Still this sounds very interesting!
I looked at these devices a while back, and decided that they are a security risk that I can't accept. In a way, I am glad to have been proven right, but that doesn't make me happy.

I plan to build my own device of this kind for my child, using components I control to a reasonable extent and software that I write and understand. No external services.

I find it somewhat sad that entire categories of devices are off-limits because I don't trust the companies (for good reasons): I have similar plans for home lighting and other home automation, because every commercial device I see is a disaster in terms of security, trust, longevity and reliability.
Do they get unsupervised free play time with other children without adults watching? This is something previous generations grew up with, that modern kids (those currently in university) do not have, and there is evidence it affects the way they look at the world in pretty negative ways.
This assumes that you can afford supervised care. One of these devices is going to be cheaper than that kind of care, especially depending on how long you would need to maintain the supervision.
I will update an xps 13 later today. I'll try to remember to post about it.

He is not, for instance, suggesting that sleeping with your grandmother is a good idea.

Well, that is how Fry was able to save the universe from the Brain Spawn.
I despise programs like FSA. If the government wants to make some amount of medical or child care expenses tax deductible, then that's great. But a giant program, tied to employers, and administrated by third party agencies like Wageworks is the worst possible way to do things.

When you do it this way:

1) There are extra administrative costs

2) Participants are basically "gambling" against giant companies with pools of actuaries.

3) A lot of people miss out on the deduction because they are unemployed or self employed, or their employer simply does not offer this service.
A comprehensive "this is how children are raised" law is not practical, but banning tracking your children with GPS is certainly possible (and Germany did it, per TFA). The more subtle parts are done with community engagement and gradual cultural shifts.
The Mueller Report [searchable pdf]
Maybe I'm just ignorant, but I do not really see how this violates the FTC agreement, because it covers Facebook sharing user data (stored/tracked/gathered by Facebook) with third parties.

However, what Facebook did is far worse than violating that agreement. Facebook gained accessed to user data on third party systems, to which they should never have had access. They gained this (unauthorized) access (at best without clear consent) on a false pretense (disguising as security related requirement). Then they imported user data, with no relationship to their stated goal/requirement, into their platform.

Associative contact information is a highly valuable commodity to any company involved in marketing and social media. I've seen a lot of people argue how this could have been the result of a laps of oversight, but that sounds like arguing how a gem stone trader might have "accidentally" stolen a large quantity of rough gem stones, while claiming to not have known their value. Even if theoretically possible, it's extremely unlikely that nobody within Facebook knew/realized the value of this data.

Either way, Facebook gained access to highly valuable assets. Even in the unlikely event of sincere lack of oversight, it would demonstrate a level of incompetence that warrants them to still be held criminally liable.

Moreover, Facebook might actually have outright violated the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), in particular the "access in excess of authorization" part, but I'm not sure.

Well, in this case I believe they are changing defaults back from when they were last changed in a "totally unnecessary way" (I believe it was unnecessary when Gnome changed it originally, I'm sure others that prefer this mode disagree). At this point complaining about it just a roundabout way of stating your preferring window manager application switching mode.

I always appreciate articles emphasizing the importance of hyperparameter optimization; thank you for writing this. The discussion on learning rate is nice additional point to mention, though I find it a bit misleading -- earlier in the discussion you are mentioning a number of hyperparameters but then learning rate is studied in a vacuum. If other hyperparameters were varied along with the learning rate, I assume those graphics would look much more complicated.

Additionally, practical circumstances for hyperparameter tuning using Bayesian optimization often include complications: dealing with discrete hyperparameters, large parameter spaces being unreasonably costly or poorly modeled, accounting for uncertainty in your metric, balancing competing metrics, black-box constraints. Obviously, one cannot mention everything in a blog post, I just wanted to bring up that outstanding researchers in Bayesian optimization are pushing forward on all of these topics.

Regardless, thank you for continuing to hammer home the value of hyperparameter optimization. If I may, a couple links, for anyone trying to learn more:

Security clearance has no impact on most of the reasons things are redacted in this, which are not classification. There will be apparently a version with fewer (but not no) redactions shared with a limited number of members of Congress, but there's been no indication that it would be members of the intelligence committees. (I'd expected members—or maybe just leadership from both parties—of the Judiciary Committee.)

> In effect, the existence of those top-secret committees ensures that the redactions are fair.

No, it doesn't in general, and it most obviously doesn't on matters like the Mueller Report where redactions aren't even notionally due to classification and where those conmittees don't get the unredacted versions.
