Yes. There are some research networks like Vuvuzela that add noise to resist timing attacks but they aren't common.

The reason it's still a valid criticism is that people suggest that Tor has this resistance in threads like this one. :)

That TI document is a nice look at the regulations that concern the device designer. There are also some regulations that the device user needs to comply with that you don't automatically get for free by using a compliant device. I didn't see those in the TI document, but may have missed them.

Probably the most important are for interacting with other services that share that band. A band might have several services authorized to use it, and these services have different priorities in case of conflict.

Generally, the rule is if a higher priority service interferes with you, it is up to you to filter it out or tolerate it. If you interfere with a higher priority service, it is up to you to stop.

For example, the lower part of the 2.4 GHz WiFi band overlaps the higher part of the 13 cm ham band. Hams have higher priority. So if I were to use that band for some long range telemetry (I have an Extra class ham license) and that messes with you using the lower WiFi channels, you are the one who has to find a workaround. If your WiFi messes up my telemetry, you are again the one who has to find a workaround.

On the other hand, part of 13 cm is an Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band. That ISM band has higher priority than the ham band. If your microwave oven messes up my telemetry, I'm the one who has to cope, because microwave ovens are classified as and operated as ISM devices. And if my telemetry messes up cooking your burrito, I'm the one who has to deal with it.
Birthday Gift Ideas to Send to the Writer in Your Life
You can try the following in a browser's JS console or in a NodeJS REPL:

> for (const x of [1,2,3]) { console.log(x); }
1
2
3
undefined

> for (const x of {a:1,b:2,c:3}) { console.log(x); }
TypeError: {(intermediate value)(intermediate value (intermediate value)} is not iterable

So, sometimes JS automatically performs type conversions. But it also has the same kind of type-related runtime errors as Python. It just depends what you're doing.

I think both models have their strengths. I use C# quite a bit (which itself borrows some functional paradigms for LINQ, Func, etc), but it definitely has some limitations, especially when you need immutability. I have started using F# to fill these gaps, and thanks to the CLR interop is pretty easy. Debugging is pleasant as well.

Someone else mentioned Python/Coconut, which is another great combo that enables you to switch between functional and imperative styles as needed. I think this will probably become more common, especially in interpreted languages.

It's quite possible that no one person understood the entire system. Maybe the software team was told that the "disagree" light was standard equipment and that all pilots would be undergoing 8 hours of simulator training on MCAS. In that case you wouldn't blow the whistle because pilots would be looking out for MCAS failures and would handle it fine. Instead what happened is that the 737-MAX's reason for existence was to have no pilot retrained and for critical safety features to cost extra $$$.

>It appears as if that is exactly what is happening. In recent months, more than 70 percent of people getting jobs had not been counted as unemployed the previous month. That is well above historical levels, and a sign that the strong labor market is drawing people off the sidelines.

Interesting. If you run the numbers you will basically see that if someone isn't counted as looking for jobs and then gets a job they barely shift the unemployment figures at all compared to someone who declares himself as unemployed but is counted as looking for jobs.

The idealized scenario with a 10% unemployment rate and 100 workers would look like this.
90/100
-> 1 worker who "seeks job" gets a job
-> 91/100
-> unemployment down to 9% (-1% change)

But reality looks closer to this.
90/100
-> 1 worker who "stopped looking for jobs" gets a job
-> 91/101
-> unemployment down to 9.9% (-0.1% change)

In other words you have to be insane to base any political decisions on this number.
You get used to it pretty quickly. And you need to because central AC is such a huge waste of electricity that in 50 years you won't have it ;-). Buy a sweater and decent t-shirt.

List of Critical and Significant Dates
I worked for a company that scanned and catalogued many books in the ‘00s. There’s two primary challenges to solve, nondestructive scanning and speed.

1. In order to get a good scan (back then) we had to lay each page flat against a piece of glass (no matter the orientation). This tended to damage or destroy the binding by the time scanning was complete.

2. An average of ten seconds per scan (from page flip to page flip) is blazing fast (including rescans). For a 200 page book this is 33 minutes. To scan a library of 200 books at this rate requires 3.2 man years of work (normal 40 hour work week + holidays).

One way to speed this process drastically is to use a bulk scanner. This requires slicing the binding off the book and feeding in the book as a stack of pages, scanning the cover separately. Obviously this completely destroys the book.

Good luck.

First, it's a lot more robust for the system to be initially designed to support certificate renewal than to figure it out later, usually because "later" means "after it expires." That might either be going through the exercise of renewing certificates by hand or setting up automation. If the system is already in maintenance mode / "legacy", and you don't have a process for renewing certificates, you're at higher danger of missing it.

Also, the person designing the system is evaluated on it working. If it breaks while it's on their watch, it counts against them; if it breaks while on someone else's watch, standard performance review practices are generally unreliable at making it count against them even if it really ought to. Therefore, if you assume standard performance review practices (which is the right way to model incentives for present-day developers/deployers working for for-profit companies, and because of the massive influence of for-profit companies, not a wrong way to model social incentives for everyone else), you want to incentivize them to make renewal part of the system, again either via automation or documentation.

The Access Economy: Why the Normal Distribution Is Vanishing (2015)
> Apparently normal people couldn't use usenet.

There are many posts here of people who used usenet and IRC years ago who didn't necessarily have technical backgrounds, yet now people state that services like usenet and IRC are too technical and most people aren't capable of making use of them.

What happened?
Part 15 (unlicensed frequencies used for communication) still has rules. There is a hobby exemption for up to five devices--however, that is an exemption to the testing requirements, not the rules themselves--and you are still required to use "good engineering practice" like not designing it to have the transmitter run continuously. There are also pre-certified modules available for things like wifi, zigbee, xbee, etc.

There is almost always a power limit, and there are often spread spectrum, usage type, antenna directionality, and other requirements. Additionally, licensed users need For 433 MHz in the US, you have two allowed usage rules: 47 C.F.R. 15.240 [0] and 47 C.F.R. 15.231 [1]. The former is for transportation use only. The latter is what car remotes use, and your usage probably falls under that as well. Among other requirements, you can transmit for no more than 5 seconds--unless they are signalling an emergency alarm condition. If you don't follow either part there is a very minimal power output that is generally not useful for wireless data transmission.

But if the post is concerning Java wouldn’t it be kinda of silly to bring up C++, C, Python, and JavaScript/TypeScript?

What I did say that it was foolish from a long term career perspective not to see where the market is going and stick with a platform that even the vendor said is maintenance mode as far as .Net Framework and Windows Forms - or even Windows only development period. If I did that, I would still be writing C++/MFC apps and VB6.

My animus toward Java is more that Oracle is a horrible steward of the platform and before that Sun was.

I'm working on a research paper, I'm pursuing a coursework masters and I am not required to write a research paper, but one of my professors liked a paper I wrote in his class enough that he wants to go through the process of publishing it to a journal.

I think the most important thing is to get help from someone who has done it before. If I were you I would find research papers that are in the same topic as the one you are interested in and email the authors (most of them put their emails on the papers). Tell them you are interested in submitting a research paper to a journal in their field and that you'd like their help. You would basically write the paper on your own, have them review it and they would propose a journal or conference to submit it to. What they would get out of it would be an easy coauthor credit, which would build their standing in academia.

There seems to be a ton of relevant help in this thread and that seems exciting.

Like someone pointed out—something like OCR might be a best first step as it seems like a data entry task at a glance.

It does sound like there may be a significant amount of physical, tedious work involved no matter what software solution you find. Sometimes you have to accept that aspect and push through. Your best bet might be to recruit some physical help there—start a fund or a labour drive or something. Recruit book lovers, etc. Seems worthwhile. Maybe he would donate books to helpers.
SVMs are as old school ML as they get. They guarentee the maximum separation at the decision boundary. However it doesn’t scale very well for higher dimensional data. The standard used to be to use some dimensionality reduction technique like PCA to preprocess before feeding it into the SVM.

The lowland rainforest in Borneo where we work is already highly disturbed by logging and oil palm.

I saw that these are shipping and have almost convinced myself to buy one. I think they're pretty neat and now a wideband phased-array direction finder is a project that a smart high-schooler can do, at a price point that many people can reach. Maybe the next time this type of interference occurs the headline will read different: "Local kid solves problem with science fair project, stumped adults for weeks."

With that said, these KerberosSDRs (or any multi-channel coherent SDR solution) are not widespread, are considerably more expensive (6-7x more than a single RTL-SDR), and are only recently available. So my previous point still stands about how armchair hackers can talk about how easy this problem is to solve in theory but they lack the actual equipment to do it.
Difference between data scientist and machine learning engineer?
In the San Francisco / Bay Area, what is the difference between a machine learning engineer and a data scientist? More specifically, who is more likely to be responsible for prototyping and building machine learning models and performing feature engineering / analysis?

In the past and for tabular datasets (predicting bankruptcy, fraud, heart disease, marketing responses, etc), I would have said that the data scientist would be in charge of creating machine learning models and the machine learning engineer would be in charge of deployment. I’ve had a lot of interviews recently, and in San Francisco in particular it seems that most startups have taken the responsibility of predictive / ML models out of the data scientist role and given it entirely to the ML engineer. In many places it seems the data scientist role has become solely about A/B testing and analysis. Is this part of a broader trend or are my 10 or so personal anecdotes not representative of the industry at large?
I think the "woman founder" bit might have impacted media coverage, and even investor decisions, but to make a gendered narrative out of the blatant fraud ignores Balwani's role in the affair. There was at least one high-ranking male who knew exactly what was going on and where the bodies were buried. To me this is a clear case of "fake it till you make it, and defraud investors in the mean time hoping you actually make it."
The ISBN mappings were maybe fifty percent reliable, service by service. So you'd do three or four ISBN lookups and paw through the results, and then failover to the LOC. The Library of Congress numbers were more accurate, but more effort to enter. Nothing worked 100%, and the failure rate on some of the more obscure books was very high.
Difference between binge watching and binge reading is that reading warrants a good amount of imagination. Watching is pretty much a passive activity, and hence easy to get addicted to. Good article.

That’s kind of the point. No job is secure that’s why it’s not a great idea for someone not to keep their skills current with the market and keep their heads down. It’s not hard to project that Windows only development is a dead end when even Microsoft is outright saying that all of its energy is going toward .Net Core and they have been moving toward cross platform development for the last half decade.
Ideally you'd just do a pass through with a high res video camera, generally make sure the book spines are facing out to capture their names, run it through some image filter to pickup the book names.

Then you'd have to run some algo to match the name with the isbn and tag it with the general location.

Once you get the process down you could run a new video every few weeks.

This is kind of like Google Street view for the book barn.

Am I dreaming? Could this work on practice.?
Also if the hire is living on a ranch in Montana then at least as of today they don't have that many companies to choose from if they turn you down for a lower salary than Bay Area engineers get. In SF they can just walk down the street to the next place but there aren't that many really remote companies out there.

I mean companies that you don't transition to remote but start off as remote and are treated as a first-class employee the whole time and that the workflows are remote-friendly.

The evidence shows that CFS is triggered by stress or viral infections (which are physiologically stressful), and that it is associated with dysruptions to the HPA axis.

Everyone I know who has recovered (including myself) has said that dealing with psychological issues is the most important factor in recovering.
As someone who has suffered from CFS for a long time, it is definitely not imaginary.

To say it’s purely physical is discounting the mental aspect of the disease. I personally suffered trauma as a child and I’ve seen first hand what strong negative emotions can do to the body.

I would think it unlikely that there will be a miracle drug that will cure it, I believe it is a disease of both the mental and physical.

For anyone affected by CFS and think that trauma may play a part, the book “The Body Keeps the Score” has helped me get more energy and control back.
That's just poor research.

People use “couldn’t” where “would prefer not to if a less-technical option is available, even if some peripheral features are lost with that option” is more accurate is what is happening.

Those are all well known to be significantly influenced by stress, and all the evidence is pointing towards the stress system being central to CFS.
