> They current "credit tracking" systen has massive over-reach. So much so that if there's a breach/hack thousands if not millions are subjected to those mistakes.

Why are you singling out "credit tracking" here? There have been other, much worse breaches from companies unrelated to the credit industry. Where's the $125 from Marriot? Or Yahoo!?

I never understood government overreach like this. Any developer can clone an open source crypto implementation and spin up a new chat app. It is ridiculously stupid to backdoor things.

Unless the government plans to go back to the 80s, in which cryptography is heavily restricted from export, this doesn't accomplish anything.
ReadCoor | Hardware Software Engineer and Pipeline Software Engineer | Cambridge, MA | ONSITE, REMOTE | https://www.readcoor.com
ReadCoor is a company developing a platform for DNA sequencing in 3D tissue. We are a multidisciplinary team of biologists, chemists, hardware and software engineers building this technology to assist in the next leap of biological research and discovery.

Why 3D Spatial Sequencing?

Current state of the art DNA sequencing will tell you what raw "source code" you have. Various RNA sequencing technologies and recent single cell techniques will give you "runtime configuration" information. These techniques will tell you what molecules are present in a tissue, but they do not tell you where the molecules are located.

Our sequencing technology maps their location in exquisite detail. We can, for example tell you not just that a virus’s DNA was found in a sample, but also allow you to view the intact tissue and see which individual cells were infected. We apply this technology to all areas of biomedical research including infectious disease, neuroscience, and cancer biology.

Pipeline Software Engineer

Our backend pipeline engineering role is responsible for building and scaling out our ingestion and processing pipeline.

This pipeline uses a lot of python (numpy, scipy, skimage, pandas, dask, zarr to name a few libraries) to process individual tissue samples which range in size from 1-5 TB of images (and growing).

UI Developer

Our UI Developers are responsible for creating our web-facing data visualizations and statistical tooling as well as working with the hardware engineers and biologists to create cutting edge sequencing interfaces.

Our UI team uses JS, focusing primarily on React/Redux and Typescript.

Bioinformatics Developer

Our Bioinformatic Developers are responsible for interfacing with our biologists, primer design, and creating bioinformatic pipelines and analyses to support our three-dimensional spatial sequencing.

Our bioinfomatic team uses python and a suite of AWS services to facilitate

Is selling personal stock to fund your other company tax effective? He's paying capital gains tax when moving money from one pocket to another.
That's what coalition-building (an important feature of other governmental structures used outside the US) comes in. You generally have a bunch of small minority groups all over the place, but if they work together ("hey, we'll support your group's big issue if you support ours"), they can form a large enough voting bloc that their issues get traction.
All but two state's electoral votes are decided by the result of the popular vote in that state, congressional districts have no effect on that.

Local and proportional representation is the main reason for having the house of representatives, while the reason for Gerrymandering is to disproportionately favor one party or another.
Super-producer Diplo was once one half of Hollertronix. He had a song called "Real Jawns"[1], the meaning of which remained a mystery for me until this article.

Here's a serious question, what's preventing the pool of public defenders and the DA's from being the same people? Would lawyers in this position be influenced to throw defense cases for the sake of their police and judge buddies? Would they be willing to accept the potential professional consequences of having an abysmal defense record? Such a system could provide a lot of incentive for attorneys to maintain a more professional and appropriate relationship with law enforcement, but there may also be confounding factors I'm not seeing.

Philosophically, DA's and public defenders fulfill a similar role in society. They both serve the public in fact-finding for criminal investigations through an adversarial process before a court of law. Depriving defendants of competent council severely undermines the entire process.
Yes there are APIs targeting the GPU, the Mx coprocessor, the hardware decoder (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/videotoolbox), etc.

But why is that relevant to how one is a general purpose computer and the other isn’t?
As I said below, Google is not the be all end all of knowledge, you can use !bang commands to use different resources. If this is too inconvenient for you, you are free to give your browsing habits up for a better product.
To me, iOS is such a great example. We know Apple cares deeply about design and yet the number of places where iOS is setup to work against productivity is very large.

It does feel cultural. If Apple can't get this right, then it points to a cultural blind spot for all of tech. Humans are not computers--we don't multi-task. And measuring usage is just a proxy for measuring value--lots of times more usage means the experience was less valuable.

The key: relatively high density, a well-connected street grid, and many small businesses serving neighborhood needs.

No one’s laughing. These ARE the things we must do across the US and the world, in order to curb pollution.

Sure, electric vehicles give consumers and the market choice to derive energy from non-fossil-fuel sources. But just as crucial is reducing the need for cars and everyday commutes.

(At Qbix.com, building apps to connect local communities, we feel like we are going to make a large difference at scale in this direction, but that’s can only be one part of a much larger approach.)

Cars and their fossil-fuel lock-in are one of the major sources of carbon and methane emissions. The other is livestock.

It’s as hard to convince people to go vegan as it is for libertarians to tell people to give up the state. You just have to build better alternatives, like the Impossible Burger or apps that can automate neighborhood governance and services.

We need to have a market for carbon credits that rewards reforestation and biodiversity, with actual money from governments.

I know this is the home of geeks who think everything can be solved with an app or software platform, but seriously, we CAN make a huge difference, while politicians bicker. Companies can build these things.

Don’t underestimate the power of companies like Qbix, Nori and Impossible Burger to help save the world! :)
Have you thought about open sourcing it?
If it's not 100% managed by the government it's only helping evil rich people and multinational corporations... that's how economics works in certain political circles.

Despite the thousands of workers it employs directly, supply chain income it generates to countless smaller firms, the actual oil being transported and exported, etc etc. All of those are heavily taxed and all of that "distributes" income to regular people whether through (often high paying) jobs or a higher tax income for the state.
Social Media? Home video games?

Back in my day sonny, we had to actually go physically locate our friends (no cell phones), and ask "hey, you want to go spend some quarters at the video arcade and then get some nachos? Who's going to drive? Want to go ask XXX and YYY to see if they want to come along?"
To me it seems like a recommendation can be based on two main factors: objective similarity (distance in some space, or matching some features), and the statistics from users who connect two pieces together by liking both. It's not clear how to balance them.
Not OP, who's already answered, but I was idly thinking about this earlier today.

I'd fund a side concern that grew trees to couple-of year-mature sapling level, for planting either commercially or for CO2 absorption. The former hopefully funding the latter.

it's come up a lot in the news recently - the whole 'plant trees, save the planet' thing - but it's genuinely something I've wanted to do for years. Here in urban UK we cut down trees way more than we put them back up again.
Depends. Which ones specifically are you talking about?

Indeed states could do this for themselves, though for federal congress it would only make sense for states with large delegations like califormia’s (How would proportional representation Wyoming’s single rep?).

However Congress has barred at-large representation and that law would require changing as well.

I feel your friends would enjoy hanging out in my lounge listening on a pair of Devore Orangutan 96's, Totaldac d1-direct and Leben tube amp. My dream setup and can't believe I have this in my home to enjoy everyday.

They have a similar setup at Bar Shiru in downtown Oakland but its too noisy to appreciate the setup they have.
I think America really likes them because the alternative seems like "virtual representation" (i.e. representatives represent everyone, not a local district), which was part of why they rebelled against England. The theory is you want someone to represent your local area specifically rather than all representatives trying (badly) to balance the needs of everyone.

I don't know what the difference would really be in practice, although I think the other comments in this thread about lack of proportional representation would probably apply. I think it sort of comes down to how much worse you think Tyranny of the Majority is than what we have currently (or if you want an actual proportional representation system instead).
The presentation actually talks about FB needed to solve challenges of training and evaluating the AI without getting the data to it's server, and I haven't noticed any point where whey would suggest that they need to break encryption, or get the unencrypted data to the servers.

If everything happens on the device and noting is sent to servers, how does it break encryption?

In case I am wrong, and they actually suggest that they will really send data back to its servers, where it is suggested? I really failed to find it.

Not so incredible if you consider how the sausage is made. People who hate math pursue social science PhDs and are taught "p-values = truth". These same people are pressured to produce lots of research, and not just boring research but preferably shocking research. Journals are incentivized to publish such shocking research because that kind of research gets cited. When you think about it, this stuff will probably hold up for a long time to come.
Snowden is a top scumbag. Bring him to justice. He could have just disclosed domestic spying operations. Instead, he lit a match and torched the NSA to the ground, while kicking off a global subversion movement directed primarily at the USIC. That he fled to adversaries while, for instance, disclosing USIC hacking efforts against them indicates his motives. He's anything but a patriot. He's a traitor against the United States, against the oath he took. His profits from the book should be seized.

Why does Snowden's twitter only follow @NSAGov? Are they his sole "target" forever? His entire social presence is centered around this idea of the NSA being his sole "adversary"? He torched the NSA to the ground.

Why did someone who is so calculating execute an ostensibly haphazard plan to end up overseas? Intentional or not, Snowden went to HK then Russia. He stays in Russia to avoid facing justice.

How much time did Snowden have to plan for his escape? At least since December 2012. It was enough time for him to think through and coordinate the biggest part of such a plan: the diversion. It would not be surprising to discover that he had help domestically during this process.

The forthcoming book does allow Snowden to write his own history.

Why was that interview so lengthy? Usually, in Europe, if you can show a bank statement for the last ~3 months that shows you get regular payments from a company, and/or a statement from your employer that you're a regular employee (not just started, not already halfway out of the door) then you're good to go.
I'm not mcny, but yes, of course. It'll be massively cheaper to just yank the confidence slider down until results pop out, vs. sending meatbags walking around an area, showing photographs to neighbors.

It doesn't even matter whether they're willing, that they're capable is enough reason for prejudice.

Software which people's civil liberties depend upon should be developed in the open, auditable by the public, as a minimum. Even then, developers need to be vigilant about tainting by state actors.
More of an explanation than a tutorial, and dunno how it is for total beginners, but — Intro to Synthesis: The Building Blocks of Sound & Synthesis, by Dean Friedman: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atvtBE6t48M

It explains the things that you'll constantly fiddle with on a synthesizer (and sometimes even in a DAW with samples: envelopes are likely to appear there). The series benefit greatly from being three hours long in total instead of ten or even thirty minutes.

The first vid is followed by:

- Intro to Synthesis Part 2 - Types of Synthesis & Programming Examples https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJkxGvhOS-M

- Intro to Synthesis Part 3 - Additional Synth Features, Performance Controls & Wrap Up https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK3m8sMkTE4

Also, since the vids are from sometime in early 80s, you'll have fun trying to figure out exactly how high the guy is.
I submit that the whole topic of human/tech interactions from mundane interrupts to data/privacy management, is a good decade or so from settling out.
