It's not supposed to be a punishment at all! If anything, the whole policy of "challenging" gifted kids is something that should be done in an unusually benevolent way, since the whole point is to visibly teach them that it's okay to fail at something that's especially difficult (particularly when they're just starting out on that task); and that good things can come out of failure, provided that it's followed by focused work and a moderate dose of "grit" - that there is a level above theirs where "no pain no gain" is the name of the game!
Schools Are Deploying Digital Surveillance Systems
Well, you could decide that one axis is monkeyIndex, and the other is amountOfBananasOwned, and have a quite compact representation of which monkey owns what number of bananas.

I.e., decide on a symbolic meaning for the axes rather than converting data wholesale.
Yup, I think state-sponsored editing of Wikipedia is shameful.

"In 2008 the pro-Israel activist group Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA) launched a campaign to alter Wikipedia articles to support the Israeli side of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. The campaign suggested that pro-Israeli editors should pretend to be interested in other topics until elected as administrators. Once administrators they were to misuse their administrative powers to suppress pro-Palestinian editors and support pro-Israel editors.[59] Some members of this conspiracy were banned by Wikipedia administrators.[60]

In 2010 two pro-settler Israeli groups, Yesha Council and Israel Sheli, launched courses to instruct pro-Israel editors on how to use Wikipedia to promote Israel's point of view. A prize was to be given to the editor who inserted the most pro-Israel changes.[61]"

"“Students work in four teams: Content, Wikipedia, Monitoring and New Media,” according to the program description. It details the responsibilities for each team:

The content team is responsible for creating original content in a news format.

The monitoring team is responsible for “monitoring efforts while reporting and removing anti-Semitic [sic] content from social networks in a variety of languages.” (The program conflates criticism of Israel with antisemitism; see below.)

The New Media team is responsible for social media channels, “including Facebook accounts in English, French and Portuguese, Twitter, YouTube channels, and so on.”

The Wikipedia team is “responsible for writing new entries and translating them into languages that operate in the program, updating the values of current and relevant information, tracking and preventing bias in the program’s areas of activity.”"

Can't this be discussed without you invoking antisemitic tropes? If you think these efforts have ceased because they happened a long time ago, then I have a bridge to sell you. The only thing that has changed is that they have become more covert. Possibly other state-sponsored actors have also infiltrated Wikipedia so it is not just about Israel.
And what hardware do you use for this stack and data volume?
The trouble with SQL is that its foundation is old and hasn't been given much love with regards to modern language theory, and any attempts to talk about how the language could be improved are shot down on the basis of confusing the language with the application of the language.

The trouble with SQL is that it doesn't easily allow for basic building blocks that ORMs benefit from, like composability. This leads many ORM authors to build their own query language, which support features that SQL lacks or does poorly, that compile to SQL in order to simplify the rest of the development of the ORM.

This comes as a result of SQL not being a very good language (not to be confused with the application of declarative querying of relational data, which is beneficial and could benefit greatly from a good query language) by modern standards.
This video explains it very well.

Half way through the video, I understood why it's so expensive and risky.

On the other hand, Apollo 11 had many 'firsts' that couldn't be tested before the actual mission and it worked out 'first shot'. Of course there were some problems and Apollo 13 showed that the odd's where not too good.
Because the gender of a third person in an anecdote is none of your gods-damned business. Even if that's your fetish.
And thinking about it weren't value-less attributes also illegal? I remember doing a lot of

<button disabled="disabled">...</button>

in XHTML, instead of

<button disabled>...</button>

in HTML.

Even SGML has problems with expressing an attribute like that from what I remember reading of someone's attempt to specify HTML 5 using an SGML DTD.
Creating your own reverse geocoder with OSM and PostGIS
It's safe even if you take the worst case estimates. There's no need to accept the Soviet numbers to justify nuclear power.
Perhaps there is an inherent problem with Anglo-Saxon, legal and contracting culture, which causes the management structure of projects to be over complicated and wasteful?

After all, London is still a lot more expensive to build in that other European cities. And it's not a public private thing, it's a legal and management culture thing. Heathrow Terminal 5 (a private sector project) took 20 years and cost twice as much for one terminal building and a short metro extension versus the new terminal, runway and metro at Madrid Barajas (a public project) which has twice the capacity.
It's very strange to me how the US justice system is so bent on enforcing rules that everyone knows are just weird.

I'm not going to support the general thesis of this article, but I want to address something you said.

You're right that containers are not VMs, but that's only really relevant as pedantry of technical details.

I think that what the author was trying to say (without really understanding it) was a comparison of containers to VMs as units of software deployment.

I don't think anyone is credibly using containers as a security measure on Linux, because if they think they are, they are in for several large surprises.

Rather, we're seeing the unbundling of software - it used to be that you deployed software to a physical machine with a full OS, then you could deploy it to a virtual machine with a full OS, then you could deploy the process, its dependencies and a minimal OS into a container.

I agree that Docker doesn't have a huge and profitable future ahead of it, because it's providing commodity infrastructure. Rather I think it's interesting to think about what the next level of software deployment decomposition will be, and I'd wager that it's FaaS (ie serverless).
The "Mascot" section is adorable.
GeoIP Service as a Cloud Function
Pilosa uses roaring bitmaps to store the data. Roaring bitmaps are compressed and performing bit operations on them is very efficient since they don't require uncompressing the whole bitmap to perform bit operations.
Damn, nature has always a solution.
Gluelam is usually used for the older (more established) technicque of just making structural wood beams that are larger than can normally be sawn in one piece. E.g. the largest dimension of regular lumber may be 50x200mm, but you can make a 100x500 gluelam cross section by simply gluing five 100x50 on top of each other. That also has the benefit of being stronger than the individual parts because their weaknesses are averaged (much like how a spun rope works).

So Gluelam beams are used as an alternative to steel beams.

This more recent tech is cross-laminated-timber (CLT) where flat pieces of timber and sheathing is glued together to form large construction elements (walls, floor sections)
CLT is used as an alternative to building modules. E.g. CLT can form a floor slab between storeys of a highrise, or a wall section where you would otherwise use a prefab concrete or steel/glass piece.

It is true that CLT is both "glued" and "laminated" (so it is a kind of glue-lam) but using just "gluelam" was established already as short for "gluelam beam".
Yes! What a load of trash this post is, should be on the last page!
(Sorry I saw this a few days late.)

I think it's very misleading to call this "confidential mode for email". It's just putting the message on a webpage and sending the person a link to authorize access to the page, right? (And maybe messing with the gmail interface to hide that this is happening.) It's a really different concept altogether than email. If I understand right, it's basically like creating a google doc and sharing it with only certain recipients (and ability to revoke later).
This kind of thinking is very foreign to me but apparently it is common? Getting 100% in exam never required any effort for me, so I never studied for exam. I always studied to understand, so I retained it all.
Pilosa is best used in conjunction with something like Kafka with (e.g.) separate consumers for Pilosa and a persistent data store.
I have a python fractal drawer here - https://github.com/starnose/fract

That can do a load of different types (Pickover Biomorphs, Newton-Raphson approximations, burning ships, Mandel-drops etc). Always loved drawing fractals. One day I'll get around to implementing Ray-marching and draw the mandelbulb!
The problem with fingerprinting is that it's used to track users across sites. Cloudflare's "super cookies" and ordinary ad-network cookies are both examples of fingerprinting which use cookies and could definitely argued to be bad for user privacy.

A text-based challenge-response captcha doesn't fingerprint you in any way. Google's reCaptcha does -- not to mention that it uses you for free labour that I would argue should be a violation of minimum wage laws in most countries (Google hires people to do data entry for ML, so why am I being forced to do the same work for free in order to post a comment on a forum or log into a website).

Hydroelectric is not "green". It has devastating ecologic impact. It is better than some alternatives, but it also tends to destroy whole ecosystems.
They need to get enforced to get challenged and changed.

This is almost certainly why this isn't getting dropped.
So in summary you are saying they used "intuition" wrongly, while subsequently saying that it's really hard to say what intuition is objectively, and when someone pointed out that their understanding of intuition does at least partially match what is insinuated in the paper you continue saying "yeah but when talking about AI all of this is really complicated, please be more concrete"

I really have no idea what this is adding to the discussion, except for talking down to the authors which, in your opinion, have misused a word that you yourself find hard to define..

My own biggest problem with the GDPR — other than the regulatory burden, which disproportionately imposes costs on small challengers and effectively protects large pre-existing firms — is the so-called 'right to be forgotten,' which is really a privilege to force others to rewrite history. Among other things, it effectively mandates mutable logs, which is horribly insecure (logs should be in principle even if not in fact immutable), and at a higher level it grants malefactors the ability to legally compel others to refrain from true speech about them.

Other than that, most of the GDPR is pretty good.

Second this, you need to be political to make partner in your practice or move up the ladder to manager/professor even as a Dr. unless you go into private practice or start your own thing
..and how have politicians of the last, let's say 20 years, positively contributed to this? If the last good day was over two decades ago, I'm not sure how you're going to sell me this as a good thing.
Great feedback. We could also do a better job of documenting the most frequent use cases which include high cardinality segmentation, personalization at scale, rapid data exploration/discovery, edge analytics, fast BI, threat detection, bioinformatics and more.
Funny, where timber is produced (e.g. Scandinavia) we are always complaining that the forests are taking over. People can basically be subsidized to keep animals to "keep the landscape open" when forests would otherwise take over old farm land.
We have 7000 trees per person. We plant more than we cut down. Just buy our timber.
"Deforestation" is a problem in various parts of the world because of ecosystems, erosion, desert spread. It's not an issue everywhere.

From a CO2 perspective, cutting down a tree and making a house of is excellent. The CO2 is bound in the timber and a new tree can be planted in its place.

I've found the opposite to be true. If you have proper observability into your isolated services you can more easily pinpoint the origin of a bug.
excellent andromeda strain reference
>If you are smart, you will know. I am not attractive, but I also heard that if you are very attractive, it's pretty much impossible not to realize that.

Some of these laws are absurd. How would prosecuting this girl would benefit anyone?
I think my non-native English prevents me from fully understanding your question, but I'd say in general terms what is described in the article is what happened:

- Party A takes the council 4 years ago

- Party A implements the low emissions zone

- Party B goes into elections campaign championing a reverse of the LEZ. The quote about they saying pollution and jams are part of the city's identity is true.

- Party B does not win the election but, because of how the system works, they could take the council by joining forces with other parties (who were also against the LEZ)

- If last point indeed happens, then they will revert the LZE

Actually, it is very possible that the LZE cannot be reverted because of EU's restrictions and fines for pollution quotas. Some media that are sided to Party B and were very critical of Party A and the LZE are now changing headlines to blame EU for the LZE, in what looks like a damage control operation now that they realise the possibility of their promise being not able to be fulfilled.

I'm on mobile, so it's not going to be as verbose as usual. In no particular order:

Moving away from large corps, breaking up the homogeny of the web, keeping XUL alive, having a browser focused on the end UX rather than the UI and the corp needs, and having add-ons that can actually affect the browser - not the little playground Google thinks will be profitable.
There is no direct relation between the query language and the underlying infrastructure.

If you're talking about taking some questions and getting graphs from them, ThoughtSpot does a good job.
That doesn't sound compact at all! Every monkey's banana count uses a fixed number n of bits, where n = max(amountOfBananasOwned). That's horribly inefficient, when an ordinary binary counter uses n = log2(amountOfBananasOwned).

Which is not a criticism of Pilosa - I'm sure it's doing something very clever - I just don't understand what.
My experience with One Plus Two is that the final update before the system being declared EOL caused the phone to tremendously heat up and empty the battery in a span of 2-3 hours.

None of the advice posted online helped fixed the issue, only after installing Lineage OS was able to use my phone again.
> Not sure how to “teach” this to my kids, other than having them stay with family that weren’t as fortunate as me while growing up. Show them how hard it is when you don’t have all the advantages (we thus far) have been able to give them.

Summer and part time jobs. Working in a supermarket, fast food restaurant or on a golf course or construction site leaves you with a much better appreciation for the breadth of human capacities, interests and experiences than working towards your first I Banking internship. I’m sure volunteering as a tutor to disadvantaged children would help a bit too but only for realising the diversity of capacities out there.
Undercover video suggests Facebook wants extreme and disturbing content
And more broadly -- it's kind of funny, but the more we all just roll our own solutions to this, the less standardized the solutions, and the harder it is for spammers to scale.
You kind of proved the point though because century time scales are involved then instead of decades for the project. I would certainly call "multigenerational when others can do it in one" crippled.
Management and leadership involve plenty of problem solving! It's genuinely hard work, not just faffing around - that's just the stereotype that prevails among people who have never been in a management role in the first place. For one thing, if you're in management, there's probably a higher-level manager that you're accountable to! Funny how people seem to forget this.
They could just release a machine with the cheese greater shape and design, anodise it gold or something to set it apart from the old one and put modern components inside.

With the rise of 12C/24T CPU's with decent IPC (Ryzen 3900X) for $500 and decent cost effective Vega 56/64 or RTX2060/70 class hardware apple could really miss the boat.
Yes, that is true. But the hypocrisy is how Firefox criticises Google (either directly or indirectly), but is paid by Google to have them as the default search engine. The emphasis is on the word default, not that you can't change it. The same thing goes for Apple with Safari. They disabled 3rd party cookies and promote privacy, but Google is still the default browser, for which Google pays a very large amount of money each year.
You're being downvoted, but for small businesses Synology is pretty good. They now even come with Docker, full virtualization and Active Directory built-in, and they've had clustering and easy automated failover for years now. You pay a bit of a premium, but it does make it easy.
How about “service mesh”?
It was just a detail that seemed a little impersonal which is strange in a personal story; could be me, but in any case don't worry about it.
I have the same story, and I’m pretty sure the author is undiagnosed as well. If her child has it, it’s almost a certainty that one of the parents has it, and it’s probably her.
What is a "Hadoop business"? Hadoop is a tool not an industry or product. Can someone explain what the author might be trying to say?
Sure, but you don't know how they're storing it / how mixed is it with current data. An ideal backup is something you can disconnect from the system to guarantee it doesn't change and can be used in read-only mode. Dropbox is doing something slightly in that direction, but not completely.
Plus, check out some of the engineering on this $10B masterpiece.

Dataflow looks like it is just their public version of flumejava (both mention pcollections) [0] which indeed is basically a just a bunch of mapreduces pipelined into a fancy directed acyclic graph.

Here is the abstract: "MapReduce and similar systems significantly ease the task of writing data-parallel code. However, many real-world computations require a pipeline of MapReduces, and programming and managing such pipelines can be difficult. We present FlumeJava, a Java library that makes it easy to develop, test, and run efficient dataparallel pipelines. At the core of the FlumeJava library are a couple of classes that represent immutable parallel collections, each supporting a modest number of operations for processing them in parallel. Parallel collections and their operations present a simple, high-level, uniform abstraction over different data representations and execution strategies. To enable parallel operations to run efficiently, FlumeJava defers their evaluation, instead internally constructing an execution plan dataflow graph. When the final results of the parallel operations are eventually needed, FlumeJava first optimizes the execution plan, and then executes the optimized operations on appropriate underlying primitives (e.g., MapReduces). The combination of high-level abstractions for parallel data and computation, deferred evaluation and optimization, and efficient parallel primitives yields an easy-to-use system that approaches the efficiency of hand-optimized pipelines. FlumeJava is in active use by hundreds of pipeline developers within Google" [0].

I wouldn’t trust a non profit to do the right thing. They need oversight and they need to have institutional turnover lest they become like the homeless advocate services in SF who in theory should do best for the homeless but have become political entities who are more aligned with themselves than the homeless or resolving the issue.
I'm curious if assigning a random value from an acceptable range for the expiry time is a common approach. I assume that wouldn't work for all cases, but might spread the avalanche for some.

Google searches on this topic (random expiry to mitigate an avalanche cache refresh) turn up very little.
>while it used to use Gecko

How was it ever permitted to use Gecko underneath? Have the iOS app rules changed in recent years? Did they used to be more permissive?
Right! I meant in comparison to serializing data, which is what I (maybe incorrectly) assumed that the parent was referring to.

E.g., turning something like a JSON string of the same data into bits and sticking it in Pilosa.
I use WhatsApp without giving it access to my contacts list to chat with one friend who refuses to use anything else. On Android you just have to deny the contacts permission and everything else works fine.
We need people who are both.
