That sounds depressing. Seriously. Similar kind of thing happened at a bakery I work at. We used to make so many varieties of baked goods, but they've been cut down to the items that sold well. I mean, that means less food goes to waste in the end, but it is still disheartening and I think is a shame as the glass displays looked so much more pleasing with the plentiful variety it had before.

Some places (my company included), invite people from client organizations on slack. You can have cross-org accounts and limited access to another org's slack.

We are sadly utilizing this heavily. Disabling notifications in those channels is not permitted as essentially you are required to reply as soon as possible. They exist for the sole reason of instant communication, which I find counter productive but product-xxx people LOVE.

Those guests will not play by your rules. Those guests will play by their bosses rules, who might err on the side of yelling at you at first chance. Things like "QA didn't catch bug X" people pinging on a friday afternoon, rather than going in the process of opening a ticket.

Again you cannot ignore them, and you cannot change this, because these people are paying you. Usually it's team leads that are present in those rooms, so they get all the shit thrown at them at random times, and can only tell themselves "hey I 'm paid better than average so it's part of the job right?". No, no it's not part of the job. Whoever made this decision is dumb, and Slack unfortunately catered to the wrong feature requests and made this too easy to happen too.

Since I am seeing how trigger happy our product managers are to invite the client org's PMs to our Slack, I can only dream that in an ironic twist of fate when Slack's product people reviewed this feature request they immediately loved it too and on a friday evening pinged the slack team leads to hop on it :p

This is a great question, one that is very important to our business [0] which crawls many of the major social media platforms.

Andy Sellars [1] published a paper year ago on the topic titled "Twenty Years of Web Scraping and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act" [2] which puts the topic in a great perspective. Many of the cases are not very clear cut and sway from one direction to another. We are currently in the up where courts side with the "crawlers" which may change in couple of years.

Yes, with the additional context I totally get where your original comment came from, and as I said in a comment to the creator here I hope this doesn't overshadow the work long-term.

side note: as a vaguely related comparison, Rust, despite all it's merits, still has some problems with being overhyped, not even by its creators, who at least from what I've been seeing are fairly careful about it, but by random fans, which causes friction in the wider community, because people don't like being promised unfullfilled things or being told to feel bad for what they're doing. I respect Rust, I don't like it's fans pretending everything would be better if I used it or comparing my daily work to war crimes because it involves C++, it's a factor I need to actively tune out because I know there is something behind the hype.
This page says he sold over three million books as of 2013: https://thewertzone.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-new-and-improve...

If he gets a dollar or two per copy (which I think is roughly correct, based on my very limited understanding of the industry) then that’s $3-6 million. He had been writing for around 30 years at that point, so that’s in the neighborhood of $100,000-200,000/year.
Maybe a good indicator for other IP/copyright centric business models. Where "product", a.k.a. data, is artificially made hard to access. That is going to die as a business model at some point, including for Amazon, and that day can't come soon enough. If you're heart is still in that business, you had better enjoy lobbying, because that's your purpose, and you better not care about improving society, because you're not making the world a better place when you succeed.

I don't think books are a good indicator of what will befall real products. There's no doubt Amazon is causing major pains in that area, but I don't think they'll ever "complete" that domination.

I find manpages to be mostly useless because they ignore the common case to explain every single possible function. For example I use the tar command 99% of the time for extracting files and 1% of the time compressing files. When I open the manual I want to be able to quickly work out how to extract a file but the first bit of non intro text on the man page is

>Options to GNU tar can be given in three different styles. In traditional style, the first argument is a cluster of option letters and all subsequent arguments supply arguments to those options that require them. The arguments are read in the same order as the option letters. Any command line words that remain after all options has been processed are treated as non-optional arguments: file or archive member names. For example, the c option requires creating the archive, the v option requests the verbose operation, and the f option takes an argument that sets the name of the archive to operate upon. The following command, written in the traditional style, instructs tar to store all files from the directory /etc into the archive file etc.tar verbosely listing the files being archived:

Scanning through the manpage a fair way down and I can't see the one bit info that covers almost all of my use cases for tar.

And for anything more complex than a tiny cli tool the manpage is far too large to use usefully.
I agree, and often wish there was a central repository of collected tribal knowledge not about how to do things but about to do them right. Google's resources for developers provide a bit if this, but not nearly enough.

Visual Basic got torpedoed by Microsoft during the .NET introduction. VB.NET and Visual Basic just aren't the same language.

This is pretty ignorant of the capabilities of the nuclear triad.

At some point, any missile defense system is going to have to estimate damage and pick some targets, but leave others. When there are multiple vehicles,.you're pretty much fucked.

The idea that a missile defense system can prevent full-on nuclear warfare is false. It's meant for one-off strike deterence, not for full on war.

If you don't stop a nuclear launch vehicle when it's on the ground or very shortly after launch, your chances at stopping it are slim.

Great to see several articles on Basic and Visual Basic in the space of a few days. I think VB and VB.Net (Pre WPF) as well as the ubiquitous VBA were very popular with that population of coders that is often ignored I.e. folks whose primary job is not programming but need to develop tools to facilitate their job. Many of these folks live on trading floors and investment teams, where either they cannot rely on timely solutions from their IT group, or simply smaller shops that have no developers on-hand. Many such folks have switched to Python, which unfortunately lacks easy GUI design tools. I had a lot of fun with VB6 and VB.NET, which I used to code quant apps, relying on compiled matlab DLL’s for the computational bits.

Hey guys, I'm the writer. As you can see from the post, I'm still very much learning.

What I want the most from this site is for more experienced people to help me out with some of my questions.

Here they come:

- Can you use Batch Normalization (the one from tf.keras) on an LSTM layer? Or will it break the model?

- How do you deal with extremely infrequent words if you do a word-based LSTM (with a one-hot encode of each word in the corpus?)? Do you remove them? Replace them? Cluster them?

- Do you think there's any other architecture that would've had better results -while still not taking too long to train-?
Do you have some examples of things from the OpenMoko days that still live on?

I got the impression that everything from then is either completely gone or no longer maintained. FSO, SHR, QtMoko, paroli etc are gone.
While I can understand that, the root issue is that this “hacking” is in fact a public service—whistleblowing. There was much more support for Assange, even from the political establishment, before he published the emails in the lead up to the election. I can’t even be mad at that because it showed what a corrupt organization the DNC was at the time (and probably still is, although there is the Unity coalition now).

So I would argue he embarrassed both the military industrial complex AND the DNC to get him where he is now. It’s also much harder to see publishing internal documents of a campaign/political party as a public service or whistleblowing, though I think the case for “russian interference” is entirely overblown compared to, say, blatant interference via the incestuous political/media blob.

Manufacturing Consent.

I don’t think it reaches the journalist level, though, in my experience journalists are far more willing to publish things than the people and organizations that fund them. Sometimes they’re even allowed to provide a veneer of plausible deniability wrt bias, although not enough to actually inform the reader regularly of perspectives that are unpopular in washington, wall street, etc.

There are also independent media groups that still provide high quality analysis that don’t appear to be bought.

The FCC license registration [0] contains some interesting information.

- Experimental radio service call sign WM9XPA

- Using an Icom IC-821C Transceiver [1], a twenty-something year old VHF/UHF ham radio...wow for a $7M project couldn't they have spent more on a radio? Well, maybe not, I'll get to that in a minute.

- Ground station is in the middle of nowhere? I think something with the Lat-Lon might be off if they mention West Lafayette, IN as the city (Purdue is located here).

- The satellite's datalink is FSK on 437.025 MHz, designation 15K0F1D, which is a standard 15kHz wide FM modulated FSK signal. The signal's parameters are not known from the registration but I googled some more and found their FAQ which links to their protocol description [2]. In a nutshell it's run-of-the-mill AX.25 at 9600baud using a simple encoding for various parameters. You could decode this easily with an SDR and Direwolf [3] or GNURadio. This is why they can use the low-cost ham radio. I'm also willing to bet they'll be leveraging submissions from amateur radio operators and the automated SATNOGS network [4] to harvest more data.

32-bit Windows. Most of them are probably running on a 64-bit capable CPU, but one that can't be used without replacing the OS.
Your implicit claim that it's difficult to

1 - know what assets are on what domains

2 - know the code backing them

is belied by the many competent orgs that do that. And the fact that it's table stakes for a reasonable security posture.

Further, it's not that technically challenging, not least because it can be human automated. Detection tools are available right here: https://www.metasploit.com for $0. You can have a human run that once a week against your web properties and do way way better than Equifax. Because Metasploit would have alerted on the Struts vuln.

It's also not rocket science to have a member of a security team run that against a list of web properties (that can be trivially sourced from your DNS server even if they bypassed internal deployment processes).

Nothing about this is sophisticated beyond basic computer skills -- grabbing known sites from your security docs, backing that up with DNS entries, alerting on anything missing, and running metasploit from a script. Unless, of course, you're hellbent on claiming the above is super duper hard.
Maybe not counterfeits, but many of the listing are very poorly made. Most of the clothing I've bought through them (even supposed name brands) have fallen apart extremely quickly. Looking through my history:

- a car battery maintainer that doens't really charge the battery

- 2 puzzles that the pieces don't fit together and many of them broke.

- a snowboard edge tuner that ended up breaking after about 5 uses.

- an iphone charging cable that fell apart after about a year even though it claimed to be kevlar braided.

- a spatula that must have been 24 gauge sheet metal stamped into a "spatula" shape.

- some glass screen protectors for my iphone that don't fit.

- an air filter for my car that doensn't fit the car it's listed for.

- a wireless charger that the micro-usb port broke within 2 months.

All of those were from 2018. Now that I look through my history I'll change the 7/10 to 5/10 but in my book that's sill absolutely unacceptable. I'm sure there's more diligence I can do to make sure that I only buy name brand products but Amazon has lost my trust.
When those are the case, I really like it. Things like The Food Lab are joys to read, because they go into the detail of why ingredients are present and what variations/substitutions preserve the flavor of the dish. But those are few and far between. Most of the time, the filler consists of stories and anecdotes about the childhood memories that the recipe invokes, followed by the exact same recipe as is on a dozen other sites.

I think the heart of what the article is getting at is represented well by the following quote:

"To let GPUs blossom into the data-parallel accelerators they are today, people had to reframe the concept of what a GPU takes as input. We used to think of a GPU taking in an exotic, intensely domain specific description of a visual effect. We unlocked their true potential by realizing that GPUs execute programs."

Up until the late 2000s, there was a lot of wandering-in-the-wilderness going on with respect to multicore processing, especially for data-intensive applications like signal processing. What really made the GPU solution accelerate (no pun intended!) was the recognition and then real-world application (CUDA & OpenCL) of a programming paradigm that would best utilize the inherent capabilities of the architecture.

I have no idea if those languages have gotten any better in the last few years, but anything past a matrix-multiply unroll was some real "here be dragons" stuff. But: you could take these kernels and then add sufficient abstraction on top of them until they were actually usable by mere humans (in a BLAS flavor or even higher). And even better if you can add in the memory management abstraction as well.

Point being: still not there for FPGA computation, though there was some hope at one time that OpenCL would lead us down a path to decent heterogeneous computing. Until there's some real breakthroughs in this area though, the best computation patterns that are going to map out using these techniques are the things we're already targeting to either CPUs or GPUs.
Are you sure? It's not like a counterfeit broadcasts itself as a counterfeit. Totally possible you've already bought a counterfeit.
Sure but there is always a tension between being able to address as much of the potential customer base as possible and profitability. On one end of the spectrum you have grocers like Aldi or Lidl that have slashed prices and margins by reducing SKUs (among other cost saving measures). Whole Foods probably has some room to shed unprofitable inventory so long as it preserves its upscale, ecologically conscious brand.

*UNintentionally.
"Counterfeit" is a good thing in my book, as long as there's a way to know the quality of the product before you buy it.

Saying that there's zero counterfeit implies that quality is always the same (good quality, most of the time).

By not acknowledging the existance of counterfeit, Amazon doesn't allow us to publicize and hence compare the quality of different sellers.
