(Editied with resolution at the bottom)

Yeah AWS should work just fine.

I'm on macOS 10.14.4, and tried with the current version of Firefox, Safari, and Chrome.

Different reasons, but same result for all. That error came from Chrome and was the most descriptive. Firefox threw a CORS request blocking error.

Edit: Yeah and Safari is also throwing a cert error:

[Error] Failed to load resource: The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be “media.noise.fm” which could put your confidential information at risk. (out.wasm, line 0)

Edit again!: RESOLVED

I simply won't be able to access this from work. I can't see the noise.fm root path as the corporate routers here are blocking it due to "Domain Parking". (eyeroll) I'll check this out at home later on!

Thanks for checking in.

Also, running pipelines in different projects and whenever you want is accessible from the web interface... It could be cleaner, but IMO adding even more syntax to the YAML file can also be a rabbit hole -- CURL from the script section seems like not a bad middle ground.

I think most of the comments are saying that the show’s producers should have self-censored since the show was targeted to the same people who could be driven to suicidal ideation by it. They’re not talking about banning the speech, they’re holding the creators responsible for the effects of the speech.

The law gives you the freedom to promote racism for example, but just because it’s legal doesn’t free you from responsibility. People are still going to condemn you and that doesn’t necessarily mean they think what you did should be illegal.
> Maybe the normalisation of alcohol at a younger age would help reduce it as it wouldnt seem like such a forbidden fruit.

Yeah. I don't believe that for a second. Much more interesting is how well you fare against peer pressure, how much of a social animal you aim to be, and whether your family was doing it.

If we could argue like that I would just argue the exact opposite based on my experience. The forbidden fruit we seem to have in common. The distinguishing factor here seems to be that you were in a toxic environment and I was busy pestering people on IRC.

There was a lot more porn available in that environment, so that's my burden to bear.

Let's at least stop pretending that if there were no limits on anything in the world, everything would be great and amazing.

While browsing the crazy-expensive Sony aibo dog website, I noticed the restriction that it cannot be sold or used in Illinois. How exactly is Sony going to prevent it from being used there?

From the FAQ:
Why is aibo not for sale in Illinois?

In order to mimic the behavior of an actual pet, an aibo device will learn to behave differently around familiar people. To enable this recognition, aibo conducts a facial analysis of those it observes through its cameras. This facial-recognition data may constitute “biometric information” under the law of Illinois, which places specific obligations on parties collecting biometric information. Meeting these obligations would require substantial changes to aibo that would negatively impact aibo’s capabilities, performance and the overall user experience. Therefore, we decided to prohibit purchase and use of aibo by residents of Illinois.
I'm too much disappointed with this bullshit, because it's coming from a company which I really appreciated 'n respected. AFAIK, Purism hasn't yet delivered the Librem 5 phone. If that's case, then it's a priority violation. Now, the best Purism can do is abort this bullshit and pay all the backers their money back before it's too late.
Yeah, but that's just its own vicious circle. You start hanging out with adults only through your kid's playdates, have more kids like the Joneses due to peer pressure etc.

This is a huge problem throughout science, not just ML. As scientists, we're rewarded for publishing cool new things that work, not for pointing out things that don't or for pointing out flaws in existing papers. If the point is to get people to not read one bad paper, it's just a waste of my time. Most papers are false and a lot of them should never have passed review.

If the authors actually wanted to do good ML research, they could always have reached out to a decent ML researcher who could have told them all of this. There's no shortage of us. The journal could have reached out to an ML reviewer. Why wouldn't they? But no one did, because the results look good and so they send it off to press and it's good for both the authors and the journal to have something that is hype-worthy. It's just the sad reality of modern science.

This is generally how politics works when it involves the social sciences. Rarely at the studies anywhere near as strong as the reporting on them implies it or as politicians treat it, but as long as it serves as good propaganda it is used. People will generally call out the cases they disagree with while not investigating the findings they agree with. This can lead to polarized individuals who both feel that science backs their side.

I guess probably some AI developers are training using a GPU physically in their machine. TBH I don't know if that's the right way to do it though.

> (I personally have never really understood poetry.
> Possibly because I don't have a sense of rhythm.)

The first thing most people think of when they think 'poetry' is patterns with a fixed meter and maybe rhyming patterns, but there's a great deal of poetry that doesn't really have either. Instead, those poems use line endings to give breaks and maybe an overarching pattern. Some of it is quite good at making use of those breaks, and they can form a rhythm of a sort, but it's not necessarily an obvious one.

This poem, though, is... weird. It almost seems like there was an attempt to use a rhythm, and then it got busted up by line breaks to try to do something else, and in the process both context and rhythm got broken to the point of making it hard to read.

This being the first time I've come across it, I can't say I'm a fan of the poem. It's alright, but there are strange choices made by the author that I can't get past.

I was also confused by the competition chart[1]

Regarding the VPN row, I don't think this is a case of being dishonest - meaning, Purism is lying. Rather, this chart simply feels like it was created hurriedly.

What motive would they have for saying they are in competition with PIA, when PIA is most likely the service behind Librem Tunnel. Perhaps someone goofed.

Edit: My suspicion that this page was rushed is seemingly confirmed when I see:

Mvfst: An implementation of the QUIC transport protocol
“In the month following the show's debut in March 2017, there was a 28.9% increase in suicide among Americans ages 10-17, said the study, published Monday in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. The number of suicides was greater than that seen in any single month over the five-year period researchers examined”

That seems damning.
This sounds like the main methods i write (in Java, also not using a DI framework). Like this:

var database = new DatabaseFacade(config.get("db.host"), config.get("db.port", Integer::parseInt));
var users = new UserRepository(database);
var catalogue = new ProductRepository(database);
var cart = new ShoppingCartController(users, catalogue);

It's imperative code, of course, but it's sort of declarative in that all the code is doing is wiring things up. It's step-wise in that it does one simple thing after another; it might be quite long, as there are a lot of components to create, but it can be understood locally. Components are manually constructed, by calling constructors, rather than via reflection done by the framework. Components are passed to each other as parameters to establish dependencies, rather than there being some sort of rule-driven lookup, as a framework would do. It is indeed pretty tedious to read, as it's just lots of constructor calls, with no thrilling action. But it's so simple it's never confusing (and you get to use the full power of the IDE to navigate it, jumping to definitions and uses etc). And, as such, easy to maintain. Definitely refreshingly so if you've come from Spring or Guice.

We all hate robocallers and scammers. We all hate getting called every day by them. But did you know there's something worse? My wife recently discovered a not so fun side effect of spam calls...

Scammers have this popular trick of spoofing the caller ID for a number local to you. People are more likely to pick up the call if it's a number that seems familiar to them (like, the first 6 digits are the same as your phone number).

I've known about this trick, but I never really thought about the collateral damage. See ... that number they're faking is a _real_ phone number. And it's someone else's phone number. It's not the scammer's number.

Well my wife's phone number got used. You wouldn't believe the number of people who call scammers back! She was getting hundreds of calls a day; non-stop. Most people were calling back trying to figure out who called them. Some were angry. A few threatened her with violence.

And there's absolutely nothing you can do about it. You can't stop someone from spoofing your phone number on Caller ID. You can't stop people from mistakenly calling "you" back. You're just stuck in phone hell. The only solution is to change your phone number ... not really a great option.

It lasted about a week; we resorted to just keeping her phone on Do Not Disturb.

What a nightmare.
> How does your "wrinkle" make things necessarily worse?

If a small number of causes continued to be responsible for a large fraction of all deaths even as causes were defeated/delayed by medical interventions, then a continuous application of research resources could plausibly lead to consistent increases in life expectancy. For instance, if as heart disease deaths are being reduced by endovascular procedures those people are dying mostly of colon cancer, then we could divert resources to colon cancer research and hope for continued progress. But if, once the major diseases are suppressed, the number of causes of death explodes into a diverse spectrum of unique illnesses, there is little hope that constant (or reasonably increasing) resources can do much.
I mean, if it's an interdisciplinary study, you may want to get advisers from all sides to look at it before you publish, no?

My anecdote: undergrad in Montreal, so the drinking age was 18. The first semester of first year involved quite a bit of heavy binge drinking, but by the time finals came around, I'd say that most of us (even the new drinkers) had acclimated and were drinking at a slightly more reasonable level. I have a hunch that being able to drink legally in highly social settings (the common room, clubs, bars, etc) is massively helpful in establishing healthy(er) drinking norms.

There isn't nearly as large of a frat/'Greek Life' culture in Canadian universities as in American ones, as far as I can tell. This is despite the fact that Canada and the US have very similar university systems, with students often crossing the country for school (unlike in Europe). I suspect that part of the reason for this frat disparity is that there's not so much appeal for frat parties when you can legally buy your own booze or go out to a bar/club without needing a fake ID.

Of course, alcoholism is a major problem in Canada as in the US.

> Nobody cares why she put the stanza break where she did. That's not what the question is asking.

I agree that this is true, but it's worth pointing out that the question does actually say "allows the poet to". Recognizing that the poet's intent is irrelevant means deciding to ignore the explicit text of the question in favor of obeying the internal logic of standardized testing.

Taking the question at face value, Holbrook's objection is just fine: the stanza break allows the poet to take a breath. She put a sentence break between the Sunday and Monday sections to contrast them, then added the stanza break for a different reason altogether. (Yes, the breathing point is between those two sections because they contrast, but if we're being that picky we might also argue that it's not 'allowing' contrast but accommodating an existing contrast.)

I get that most students will answer this correctly, and certainly the other three answers are more wrong than C. But I don't like the idea that "best answer presented" is an adequate standard for simple factual claims. Moreover, I watched English teachers and professors go through agonies trying to teach death of the author, largely because questions like this actively undermine any attempt to think clearly about the difference between text and creator.
So? They'll use the money to improve the apps and they will have to release the improvements under the GPL. It's a win-win.
Though it's incredibly dependent on the type of cancer, it's history, it's environment, and it's genome, it is related to the metabolic pathway that you shut off.

This is known as the Warberg Effect [0]. Essentially, for some reason, some cancers will start eating only via glycolysis and not via oxidative phosphorylation. Glycolysis requires glucose (sugars, like carbohydrates), so if you just stop eating foods that turn into glucose, those types of cancers will starve. Low sugar diets are ketogenic diets.

I'll be clear here, this is super speculative. Cancer isn't something like measles, each one is super specific to the organism and evolves over time. Keto diets may work for a while to harm cancers, but may also select for more 'hearty' cancers over time. It's not very well understood, even still.

Even though I would absolutely prefer to work remotely, I have to disagree with you.

I find that there are significant benefits to working in the same physical location.

It's just way easier to go to someone's desk and ask them something than to have to set up a video chat. Human interaction is just naturally an in person thing. So much is lost if you can only video chat. Sure it may not affect the work directly but I think it really affects a team's dynamic. Lots of great ideas happen just from random office interactions, whether it be lunch or just talking over coffee. These kinds of things are really hard to reproduce in a remote environment.

That's not to say there aren't reasons working remotely is beneficial. I just don't think it's fair to just say the only reason companies opt for physical proximity is cultural.
I would say you also need a fair bit of data too...
