Climate is always either cooling or warming, and records don"t go back very far (in geological terms). In that light "hottest day ever" somewhere might not mean that much. It could even be that there are so many places on earth that some have random records all the time.

Not saying it means nothing, but needs more data or precision, like "hotter by how much".
I know you didnt mean this, but perhaps these people don't want to leave?

Turkey is not a hellhole. Sure, it is a divided country, but it has a rich history and lots of beauty (I say that not being a Turk, nor being from Istanbul).

Let's remember that the current position as a developing nation is historically rather new. There is a strong sense of nostalgia and, until recently, there was some realistic hope that Turkey would claw its way back.

I'd personally argue there arent many comparable places where you can (or could) indeed live a good academic and intellectual life in a non-western, non-east-asian society.

I know people who were ousted from their jobs, and yes they can all move elsewhere. But that's not the personal tragedies lie.

If you grew up in a city full of thousands of years of history from East and West, it is entirely possible you will never be quite as happy living in sterile, uniform, blocky corporaty cities in the US or Canada.

Those academics who stayed in Turkey despite their credentials, probably have such a preference.

This planet won't explode because of climate change. Don't be a drama queen. We may not be able to sustain 7 billion people, but why do there need to be billions of humans anyway? There's no good argument other then they are alive and killing humans is bad.

I worked on system that used HMAC to authenticate (similar to what AWS signature does, which has the nice priority of never transmitting the secret), and the reason why I feel it would be better with asymmetric signature is that HMAC forces you to have the secret in clear server side, which means they can be stolen, while with an asymmetric system that would not be possible.
Of course the ideal system probably use asymmetric signature to get a short lived secret used to sign all the requests of the session :)
The amount of hate crimes, and remember, the fbi has said white supremacy is now the majority of terrorism arrests it does, have also surged, so it's more a case of the issue on the right being greater in magnitude than there being a left wing bias.

I'm still lost. What obligation does Brian Krebs have to pretend that the real identity of a pseudonymous Twitter user isn't discoverable from open sources, or to help conceal that identity? I submit that he has no such obligation, but that message board people like to pretend that he does, and that contravening that norm constitutes the real-world offense of "doxxing". Baloney, I say. Am I wrong? Educate me.

If he's posting home phone numbers or addresses, I'm clear on what the problem is. But if you have a public LinkedIn profile and don't have the OPSEC to keep public sources from linking your secret Twitter handle to that profile, I don't see any problem at all.
If you hash the password on the client, then the hash essentially becomes the new password and you haven't solved anything.

This article is just a thin veil around advocacy for an $15 minimum wage, which is typical nonsense peddled by well-meaning people that simply don't understand economics well enough to be writing for a prestigious paper.

I understand the sentiment, but the problem is that a rising minimum wage is guaranteed to result in rising prices for staple products, while the majority of the people purchasing them aren't earning any more.

Facile example: as a middle class guy, I can pay $5 for a box of blueberries and just have them in the house. $10 pushes it to be a treat that I would buy ten times less often. $20 makes it a luxury I buy once a year at most.

If we increase the minimum wage, and fight for people working illegally under the table for less than the minimum (which has to be part of the plan if you intend to have any honesty in your approach), the result is necessarily that the price of blueberries will rise. If this pushes the cost of blueberries to the point where normal people won't buy them anymore, the business model becomes unsustainable.

As the wage rises, during the process, we'll see worker conditions deteriorate, an increased turn to illegal labour (and a commensurate demand for illegal immigrants to do it, which furthers that problem), and eventually either farms folding, changing crops to something more profitable, or perhaps subsidies coming in. Of course, we should have learned from corn what happens when we oversubsidize crops; at the very least price discovery is somewhat removed from the market and so things are priced cheaply that shouldn't be, people overconsume while tax dollars make up the difference, etc. One can probably argue that staple crops (wheat, etc) should be subsidized, but blueberries aren't quite as critical, are they?

To make an example more germane to this particular issue: if the minimum wage increases and all of the people involved in the chain leading to these food delivery drivers costs too much, when the potential consumer sees that ordering food is simply too expensive for them, they'll just give up. Entire industries that function because intelligent people have carefully budgeted around wages and expenses to eke out a living will be negatively impacted, and parts of them will fail.

And yet, we'll survive it. But let's not kid ourselves: the standard of living for the poor isn't going to get any better by changing this number. Instead, what happens is that the middle class effectively earns less (try calculating your salary as a function of the minimum wage - if you made 3x before, maybe you make 2.5x now; if you made 1.25x before, maybe you make 1x now....) while the rich don't even notice the change. For brief periods of time while the market settles, those at the minimum wage line will have an advantage, but once the price of goods and services finishes rising to compensate, it's back to square one. The purchasing power of the dollar simply drops to match.
>The problem is that there could conceivably be brains that perform all the same sensory and decision-making functions as ours but in which there is no conscious experience. That is, there could be brains that react as though sad but that don’t feel sadness, brains that can discriminate between wavelengths of light but that don’t see red or yellow or blue

That's an assertion I believe to not be so obvious it can be assumed to be correct with no argument to the contrary. If you can't define consciousness why do you believe it exists independent of these other systems and that these other systems exist independent of it? The study of consciousness is absolutely full of non-falsifiable claims like this. We decide apes and dogs and frogs and ants are not sapient but that is an outside observation. It may be as erroneous as looking at Specimen A and its great to the five hundredth generation ancestor and deciding that because they should count as two separate species there must have been some momentous leap in the middle to make Specimen A possible. Consciousness could easily be a smooth spectrum from human to insect and we wouldn't know it because everything next to our level is extinct.
Not at all.

I'm saying consciousness isn't unique to humans.

Please don't misquote me, I never used the phrase "legally entitled." Further, my post had nothing to do with his legal rights. The parent post that claimed AA was burdened with costs due to Mr. Rothstein's habitual cancellations, to which I noted the cost to AA of cancelling those reservations was far lower than the cost of him using all of those reservations.
University is not coding school, either. Students have to learn about a large set of topics and precludes large projects for the most part. Some universities counter that by adding mandatory labs that have students work in teams over longer time scales. But even that is just enough to give them the bare basics of proper work experience. They will have to get that elsewhere.

Also, writing code that barely works and barely gets its job done is a skill ;). Ideally, it means that the person knows how to get something done with minimal effort when that is all that is needed. I noticed that I started to lose that when the projects I worked on became larger and had to meet higher demands. I tend to do stuipd things like one off scripts "properly" when simple hacks would get me there faster.

I don't know if gas would be considered a business expense? But I know at some of the pizza and chinese places in my city you pay your own gas. (I mean, as a delivery guy.) But you more than make up for it on tips generally speaking.

They certainly are, but I don't believe there's anything novel about that.

nope (re being sure their ability to handle health benefits has improved)... just used them for a startup and their response to questions about integration with health benefits was essentially (3 days later) - um, we don't do that, but we'd be happy to sell your name to a broker.

agree the interface is pretty, but failure to really support benefits will be a dealbreaker for many startup/small business folks.

There are some circumstances where an interpreter is useful: For example, it should be possible to make better golang repls with an interpreter than with a binary.

In a "scripting" scenario, you can load some golang code at runtime without needing to bring the full golang compiler toolchain along, which keeps the nice "single binary" deploys of golang. It may be possible to sandbox scripts as well (though I haven't looked into how that could work with this implementation), which could reduce the risk of running scripts (less likely to shoot yourself in the foot. Probably not a security boundary -just look at how much work goes into safe JS in browsers to have that).
> When people are against gun control, a common thread is "make guns illegal and only criminals will have guns." This argument has merit, but if we DID amend out #2 and make guns illegal, over time firearm proliferation would decrease.

Even if that is true, "decrease" is not remotely equivalent to "eliminate".

The problem is that as law-abiding citizens, and those who have their weapons forcibly taken by law enforcement are left completely unable to defend themselves; while criminals are not completely unable to acquire firearms.
Oooh, not quite. IANAL, but I've worked with enough to know exactly what this means.

Facebook is required to _report_ how they handle privacy data. They can choose what that handling looks like. They just have to accurately describe that. The false certification is related to materially false statements in the _reporting_. How they handle privacy data is still up to them (albeit potentially subject to future sanction if problematic), but this definitely does _not_ state that Zuck will be subject to criminal liability for future privacy problems.

The problem is that Google is a monopoly.

IIRC, it used to be the case that shopping malls were, in some situations, treated as public squares and couldn't just expel people. For example, if someone like Steven Crowder hypothetically set up his infamous "change my mind" table in the middle of the mall, the mall actually didn't have the legal power to expel him. This was in the era when a lot of towns didn't actually have a real public square, they just had shopping malls, and the landowners of the shopping malls had an effective commercial monopoly on the city square.

YouTube is in a very similar situation. And frankly, it's not even just the outwardly political channels like Crowder that are getting the short end of the stick.

I agree, and have added an edit to reiterate that.
Yeah, it really needs to have some differentiator that VS Code and the like would struggle to duplicate.

I have a suggestion (however unrealistic): speed. VS Code is, you know, usually fast enough that I don't notice any more. I bet, though, that if there was a similarly-featured editor that was perceptually instantaneous, I'd notice.
I do not have a general moral obligation to actively help shield you from the consequences of your own speech, however harmful they might be.
I would say certain types of problem domains will be more likely to find solutions in academia vs companies.

For example, it's going to be pretty hard to get much innovation from academia in the area of operating planet scale networks/datacenters simply because they don't have access to such environments and the money to support it nor the day to day challenges of actually running something like this.

That said, much of innovation happening in companies is likely part of the secret sauce that makes the company successful so we're not going to see much of it make it out at the time the innovation takes place but over time companies and people working for them do open up about their solutions.
It all depends on what is your reference point. With a warp engine that pushes all of the atoms in the ship at the same acceleration your biggest problem will be abrasion.

Linking to a Teslarati article, that's a laugh.

When will you realize that this company makes things up at every turn? They are cutting capex, again. They are slashing prices on cars with "unlimited demand". Let's see in a year how it's going,and what excuse you and they will have.
While it's depressing, what alternative is there? No expensive cars for anyone? Should entire industries of engineers and designers making these artful creations be put out of business because you and I (and most of the people working on them) won't be able to afford one ourselves?

Income disparity is natural. Regulation to prevent people from exploiting the system into higher income is good, but we'll never be able to make it so that the delivery driver and the corporate executive have the same standard of living, unless that standard is consuming gruel in a formless concrete cube somewhere.
Krebs does indeed habitually doxx alleged criminals. There's a perfect example just a ways down from TFA: "Meet the World’s Biggest ‘Bulletproof’ Hoster".[0]

And he doesn't just rely on public sources:

> KrebsOnSecurity uncovered strong evidence to support a similar conclusion. In 2010, this author received a massive data dump from a source that had hacked into or otherwise absconded with more than four years of email records from ChronoPay — at the time a major Russian online payment provider whose CEO and co-founders were the chief subjects of my 2014 book, Spam Nation: The Inside Story of Organized Cybercrime.

> Querying those records on Yalishanda’s primary email address — stas_vl@mail.ru — reveal that this individual in 2010 sought payment processing services from ChronoPay for a business he was running which sold counterfeit designer watches.

And he posted a copy of the guy's passport!

Your last sentence doesn't follow.

For the moment, replace "swatting" with bona fide criminals behind the door. If the swat teams ended up killing some of those criminals that wouldn't be evidence of over-aggression on the part of law enforcement.

Since you posit that "gun drawn" is the reasonable response to swatting, then the same logic applies. You're obligated to continue wearing your devil mask for that sentence, so you have to explicitly argue why that isn't the case. :)
Well, we’ve know of the increasing need of stopping emissions for something like 30 years and basically ignored trying to solve the problem for all of that time. So yeah, there have been plenty of deadlines for easier solutions we’ve blown past.

But it is true, there are still some time left before we’re reduced to the Elysium solution.

Istanbul these days is a tragedy, at least it feels like it.

One of the three greatest cities in human history, and so many signs of "almost making it back". But now, everything has the stench of moving into the wrong direction. Seriously, you can feel it in the people, the shops, the buildings.

It makes me really sad never to have been there in its prime.

Turkey was never not a troubled country, but Turkish friends tell me Erdogan has sucked the optimism out of the intellectuals and academics that prevailed in years prior. What is left now is the typical Turkish melancholic nostalgia. It seeps through the streets of the city nowadays.

Tragic.

Hence why many investors don't mind that Tesla isn't generating wonderful cash flow. If there's a reasonable expectation that this data collection will lead to full autonomy, then Tesla should price their cars at whatever level is necessary to move their maximum production into consumers' hands, even if it were a loss (which it's not).

And even if they don't use the data to train, they can use it as an argument for how much better they are than humans. That's one hurdle that Waymo could have trouble with, whereas Tesla could point to tens of millions of miles where their sensors would have avoided crashes that humans failed to avoid.

Nuclear power's going the wrong direction because they get decommissioned and then replaced with coal/gas plants. I think around 10% of nuclear's current gigawatt capacity will be decommissioned over the next five years.
>The gist of it is this: if your samples are quantized to say 8-bit fixed point after every step, it seems plausible that you should be able to get away with slightly above unit gain at some frequencies

I'm a 1D DSP guy so I could be totally off here.

But iterating an FIR is basically this

_ _
+ -> |_ G _| -------> y
^ |
|______________|

With initial conditions of G being the pixel value, right?

I suspect the poles of that system are the eigenvalues mentioned in the post, but I don't really want to do the math. Then you can look at the effects of coefficient quantization as a pole/zero loci problem.

I think you should be able to guarantee stability (at the cost of phase distortion, and maybe overall gain?) by reflecting some of the zeros of G into the unit circle so they don't form unstable poles, but if they wind up being close to the edge then you still have to worry about quantization effects.

But it's been a long time since I've done image processing, so I don't know how relevant that is.

The contentious part is that Waymo doesn't have a product yet. It's easy to imagine something is better when you can't actually use it.

In truth there are only 3 self driving products that I know of available today. Tesla's Autopilot, GM's Supercruise (only on CT6), and commma.ai's openpilot.

Of those Autopilot is easily the best.

I never know why a source would matter in these cases as the writers of these sources usually have no idea and the answer isn't clear anyways. But if you want you can use me as a source because I'm an engineer who worked in automotive and has driven all 3 of aforementiond products. I also am not sure Waymo will ever release a feasible product other than their LIDAR.
You are describing an authentic dystopia. Technology promise was to work for humans. Now we are working for algorithms that push us to our human limits.
