Might not be the same industry per say but the sources of revenue overlap. Facebook and Amazon are obviously different services, they both make insane amount of money through ads, most of which escape taxes.

The law is directed to companies fitting these criteria:

- advertisement (Alibaba, Amazon, Apple, Ebay, Google, Groupon, Rakuten, Schibsted, Wish, Zalando.)

- sale of personal data (Amadeus, Axel Springer, Booking, Expedia, Match.com, Randstad, Recruit, Sabre, Travelport Worldwide, Tripadvisor, Uber.)

- intermediary platforms (Amazon, Criteo, Ebay, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Twitter, Verizon)

Don't forget that most of these companies abuse the system to avoid paying tax in most EU countries, for example airbnb paid something like 70k of tax in 2015 in France (a top google engineer would pay more tax than the whole airbnb business), because the only french based airbnb entity was a sub company which was used as an intermediary between France and Ireland. Of course it's in their interest/right to use as many loopholes as they legally can, but I don't see why France wouldn't update their tax laws to close of few of these loopholes and accommodate these new business model / business practices.

> For example, most men who get prostate cancer die of something else first

While that is true, it is also true that men who get prostate cancer die several years earlier than men who don't get prostate cancer, and treatment do increase life expectancy significant.

Two clear truths, but the implications are not as clear. A common theory is that the combination of older age and cancer results in a much lower margin for error, turning non-deadly "something else" into deadly "something else".

It becomes a question of definition if "something else" should be seen as independent of the cancer or not.
These loopholes are slowly but surely being removed. DO-178 for aviation is the first standard to do that. I am certain that the others will follow.

What test suite are you talking about? I am really curious because this would completely upset the whole industry if what you ssid was true for the toolchain.

The same argument of money being on the line applies to the detection. Poker software is already pretty damn impressive with its tracking. The online casinos actually stand to lose more money than the bot creators could make, so the detection has a greater incentive, and is likely to triumph.

This magic spell is done to attract a lover and once finished would help you attract the man of your choice towards you, once done the man of your choice would think about you and would come near you as if you are a magnet and he is an iron piece.
Black Magic Love Spells. Usually considered "dark spells" but they actually are not bad magic spells. They are the opposite to white magic spells since they are done during the night or during the new moon phase.
Breakup spells – Contrary to love spells and marriage spells, there are few spells to break a relationship or to bring an end to a relationship or a love affair or a marriage, these are known as break up spells. Like already stated, these spells are performed to break up a relationship of any kind between two or more person, in general two people.
At times it has been observed that people need to move on and get away from their existing relationship and this is when this spell comes in very handy.
> True, but isn’t it also true that a catamorphism on any other data structure still operates one piece at a time? If so, I think this would imply that you _could_ concert your tree or whatever to an array and still get your result with Array#reduce.

No, the catamorphism operates on one part of the structure but that part of the structure is not necessarily (head, tail) like it is for reduce - rather it's the "base" shape of the recursive data structure.

E.g. it's easy to write a catamorphism on a tree that finds the maximum number of children any one node has. But if you flatten the tree into an array then it's obviously impossible to recover that information.
Not normally distributed, as negative reaction times are unlikely. You could use log-normal, but I believe that a mixture of exponential and gamma tends to be used by reaction time researchers (search ExpGamma).

Spreadsheets are fine. Excel is not.

Excel conflates the ideas of data and presentation. This leads to an entire class of headaches that just aren't necessary. It's the desktop application equivalent of the string 'null'.

If the spreadsheet layer (calculations and formatting) was separate from the data layer (types and values) then we could all be happy.

Arguably what's inside a U2F/ FIDO token isn't a secret but a private value.

The TOTP secret is known to the authenticator, they calculate the same TOTP value as you to verify that yours is correct.

In U2F / WebAuthn the device just proves it still knows a private asymmetric key that it can use to sign messages, the authenticator learns the _public_ key, but not the private one, it can authenticate these signatures but not produce its own.

To deliver pseudonymity the device doesn't use a single public/private pair for everything but instead generates them randomly from a seed or key it knows and _this_ private value is what makes your FIDO Security Key different from my FIDO Security Key so that you can be authenticated, whilst not making it possible to fingerprint you and see where else you use these credentials.

Single Factor FIDO is a thing, Microsoft offers it. The device takes a PIN (something you know) and incorporates that into the results, so that anyone who doesn't know the PIN now can't authenticate even if they've stolen your Security Key. You need a suitable device, the Yubikey Security Keys with a "2" emblazened are suitable.

The existence of the NCAA doesn't have anything to do with it. It is, however, somewhat of an accident of history that the MLB draft is of high schoolers as opposed to AA/AAA players.

Before Branch Rickey pioneered the concept of "farm systems" in the late 1930s, a quarter century after the NCAA was established and around 75 years after the first collegiate baseball game, minor league teams weren't affiliated with MLB teams at all; instead, they were just other leagues with younger/worse players whose rights would be available to the highest bidder. The MLB draft to distribute talent didn't start until 1965, by which time all the teams had well-established farm systems via affiliations with minor league teams.

The unpredictability of the gap in performance between high school and pro, though, is IMO larger than in football or basketball due to the fact that the core talents for making it in MLB are not based on pure run-fast-jump-high easy-to-measure athleticism, but rather on reactive skills that even if present in high school are not observable against meaningful competition.

You're talking about false negatives, but the problem with cancer screening is the false positive: telling someone they have cancer when they don't.

https://www.harding-center.mpg.de/en/fact-boxes/early-detect...

One of the reasons cancer screening is pushed so hard is because people use the wrong metrics. People look at 5 year survival rates, or cancer detection rates, to judge success.

Imagine 1000 men with aggressive prostate cancer who don't have screening. After 5 years about 440 of those men will die. That's a survival rate of 44%.

Now imagine those exact same men but pooled with 2000 men who do not have prostate cancer (because this is what screening does). After 5 years those men will still be dead. But the survival rate is now 81%.

This is the bias caused by over-diagnosis.

I just talked to someone who is pretty knowledgeable about issues regarding:

Global warming

Too few trees reuptaking water

Top soil being depleted

He said that top soil being depleted is arguably the worst problem of the three. So I simply looked up the first recent article about it and submitted it.

I have never heard of this issue and I suspect many of you haven’t either.

Disclaimer: the person I talked to has a startup that replants trees in very innovative ways (by using robotics and by employing techniques so that plants can uptake water way deeper from the ground than normally). I am not affiliated with him, I simply met him at a dinner party.
Agile, Waterfall, Shmagile Shmoterfall I say.

All these "practices" are just ideas like "hey work in small sprints and deliver on the go" that have been shaped into ideologies and standards we "all need to work within" by the law of averages. If you have a 100 average developers working for your average corp developing software, they need a structure - oh look, here's agile - let's pay money to people to teach us how to agile (??!? i'm still confused by this, like are people seriously that dumb?) then force the strict set of guidelines and rules onto everything because thinking outside of the box or working outside the guidelines confuses the averages and introduces chaos. Keeping team small, agile and keeping agile/waterfall/whatever-silver-bullet bureaucracy out of their way is the solution.

We are dropping the ball because we focus on using "standard processes" for the sake of using "standard processes". The stricter you need to implement the rules and guidelines, the larger the chance something smells in your companies culture.

> And for those who don't like paying for Photoshop - which, given it's an astonishingly powerful piece of software, probably means "people who don't actually need Photoshop" - there's always cheap or free alternatives that provide about half the functionality.

Now? Absolutely! 20 years ago this was much harder. Adobe used to dominate the market so that you used Photoshop even if you often didn't really need all its complexity. But these days, there is so much competition that you can probably find something that works well enough. I would assume that hurts their bottom line, but as a consumer, I am happy.
I think confusion is a big part of it. You often don't see the start of an incident, you're lost in your own business before your attention is drawn to something that might be nearly over before you even look at it. Who are these people?

>10,000 hands in an interesting number. If you search the poker forums, you'll see this is the number you'll see people throw out there for how many hands you need to see before you can analyze your play. You then make adjustments and see another 10,000 hands before you can assess those changes.

If you read the paper/facebook post[0] (no idea why this worse article is the link here) - you'll see they address this.

>Although poker is a game of skill, there is an extremely large luck component as well. It is common for top professionals to lose money even over the course of 10,000 hands of poker simply because of bad luck. To reduce the role of luck, we used a version of the AIVAT variance reduction algorithm, which applies a baseline estimate of the value of each situation to reduce variance while still keeping the samples unbiased. For example, if the bot is dealt a really strong hand, AIVAT will subtract a baseline value from its winnings to counter the good luck. This adjustment allowed us to achieve statistically significant results with roughly 10x fewer hands than would normally be needed.

Machine learning is a slightly unusual case with powerful important libraries doing the work, with the language on top just being used for orchestration, data loading etc. If that's what you're doing, then you're right, the ML framework availability is far more important.

That's a still a relatively small corner of programming in general though. For most languages when talking about libraries we talk about the 'ecosystem' - what is the availability and quality of all the bits and pieces that we can build upon. It's a question of many small things, rather than one large thing.

Ecosystem differences are less absolute than 'has tensorflow', and so can be weighed up against other language advantages and disadvantages.

Web frameworks are an interesting case because you (usually) don't use them as simple libraries. The interaction with them tends to be complex enough that good frameworks are built around what the language is good at. If the language is right for the sort of programming you want to do, then the framework will express that.

Well in online poker high level players make great use of player tagging, taking notes about players they have played before and what they've done in important hands or their patterns. Software exists to track how opponents behave in any given situation, and if it pops up again you use that.

I would think if professional players are utilising this information, a bot could benefit from it. I don't see how they would ever lose out from this information, even if it only uses situations where the opponent has a history of 100% of the time responding a certain way.

I am impressed by the bot but I have to laugh a bit because years ago I joked with a friend about making an "amnesiac bot" that had no recollection of previous hands, it seemed so useless we obviously didn't make it, we've evidently been proven wrong. (pointless tangent there)

Agreed. Of course i meant in regard to the news item.

Products is a whole different kind of thing. I am well aware people/pets/other living things/who knows what more might be considered products in some kind of legal mumbo jumbo.

In regard to the news item: The company bloody well knows how vurnable and unstable these people are. The company also knows it can actually legally persue this morally and ehtically bottom low tactic in order to pay as less as possible and maximise profit as much as possible. That is a well known process for many years.

So, in order to protect these people from these processes it should be made illegal to sign away rights. Maybe a cool down period is more than enough, but there needs to be some form of protection from this process.
