I am wondering how things like OpenTracing-esque spans and sub-spans fit into the format Stripe describes. Are they just logged as `subspan1`, `subspan2`, `subspan3` in the log format?

It seems like that works, but I'm also unclear if maybe each sub-span is better off as its own log line? But that carries its own problems.

Reminds me that the first U.S. ship to ship night naval battles with the Japanese in WWII were tragic (for the U.S.) 'cause the American super-fancy new-tech Mark 14 torpedoes hadn't been properly tested; that would have been "too expensive." So they were just made and deployed - and since defective, didn't trigger.

So "this engineering mistake" indeed has to be made ad nauseum, it would seem. As Einstein said, only space and human stupidity are infinite.

Good work - I'm not sure how my wife would have taken such a suggestion. Our whole friend group owns diamond engagement rings. The social pressure is still very real and that somehow seeps into the minds of even the smartest women I know.
The longer you work with ML, the more you discover that it's almost exclusively about handling data.

It's also one critique I have to the world of academia. When learning ML in academia, 9 of 10 times you work with clean and neat toy datasets.

Then you go out in the "real world" and instantly get hit with reality: You're gonna spend 80% of the time fixing data.

With that said, I think that 10 year from now, ML is going to be almost exclusively SaaS with very high levels of abstraction, with very little coding for the average user. Maybe some light scripting here and there, but I mostly just drag'n drop stuff.
That is a common trend in all kinds of enforcement jobs. As the number of rule breakers gets lower, the rules get tougher to compensate. For police officers, security guards and bouncers it means that they will intervene in less and less serious offences. But it appears it works the same in other kinds of professions too. For example, dental health is improving around the world so dentists are spending more of their time with cosmetic issues because fewer patients have holes in their teeth. It's even the same in software development. What do you do when there are no major bugs to fix? You spend your time fixing all the minor irrelevant issues!

I think the empirical evidence is soundly against the idea of people being lazy. People will always find stuff to do because almost no one likes rolling their thumbs all day.
Haha, it's a just-so story, yeah.

And they're not really suing the appropriate industry. Retailers are not infringing the patent. This seems troll-ish. When Apple sued Samsung, they sued Samsung. They didn't sue Verizon, AT&T, etc., that were selling the products.
Chrome (to my knowledge) doesn't automatically download webpages, it strictly downloads what you type into the url.

This begs the questions;

- At what point does web-scraping become research?

- Is it considered scraping if a human is actioning it (no automation)?

- Could I manually click links and copy the data from the browser, is this scraping?

There's no strict definition, so it's up to a judges and lawyers to decide what the definitions entail...
I like the spirit of the article, but being poor does not resolve you of personal responsibility. You do not have a pass to commit crime because you make under a certain amount a year. There are definitely a great number of poor people in this world who have no one to blame but themselves or their family/upbringing. I think that a civilized country should have a good safety net for everyone equally, even if their poverty was their own fault. There should be no shame there. People make mistakes. People are sometimes in the wrong place at the wrong time. We should still help them even if it was their fault. I dislike this mindset in America that people get what they deserve and if they made a mistake, they should suffer for it.
Their reporting on technology is often intentionally misleading and sensationalist, but it isn't surprising considering they directly compete with the likes of Facebook for attention and also rely on Google, Apple, and Twitter for visibility.

I stopped reading NYT after their obvious crusade on Facebook followed by their embarrassing "privacy" series. Most of these companies disgust me, but NYT's reporting almost made me feel a semblance of sympathy for them due to how ridiculous it was.
Not horror stories, but I've used mono repos in a company with 50+ projects and the results tend to be tight coupling, macro level spaghetti and libraries being left to atrophy due to fear of change.

For example I can be working on project B and need to make a change to Lib A, so I make the change commit my work and now project Z broke. Now I have to learn whatever the hell project Z is because it's not my responsibility and we may not even have anyone responsible for it. Then I have to work out of the changes to lib A need to be reverted, backward compatible or if project Z needs to be updated. This sort of thing with 10 libraries and 40 apps and the complexity that every individual developer has to deal with goes off the charts.

Separate repos with versioned packages don't necessarily fix this but they do let you manage it a lot better, whoever is working on project Z can update it's version of lib A at an appropriate time (or never).

I feel like filament LED bulbs were invented in China, or at least that's where I saw them (and LED lighting in general) used far more widely first.

Relatedly, the bigclivedotcom YouTube channel has a huge collection of detailed analysis of various types of LED lighting.
Almost all of bpy is a simple generated wrapper around builtin C functions but you can (or could, dunno how well its been maintained?) build blender as a python module to import into CPython. Some experimental CMake setting IIRC.
As an engineer, I think it'd be pretty easy for me to hit a tanker- just bring the missile in low, at an acute angle to the convoy (relatively thick broken line) and you're likely to hit one of them at least.

Will I? No, but I totally could.
That's not entrapment. At least in the US, entrapment has to pass two tests:

1. Was it a crime the suspect was unlikely or unwilling to commit otherwise? (The "subjective" test.)

2. Did the actions of officers cause a normally law-abiding person to commit a crime? (The "objective" test.)

In other words, entrapment is when the police actively cause somebody to commit a crime they wouldn't have otherwise committed in similar circumstances.

In the article, the police just left a case of beer inside a car. The police created a passive opportunity, but that's not enough for entrapment... the act of steeling that beer was entirely self meditated.
In case you didn't know, The Onion uses the article format as a template with only names/places/dates changed for quite a lot of major mass shootings.
That sounds amazing. Here in provincial NZ officers won't even respond to a car crash or minor violent crimes, because they're so understaffed. I can go a month without seeing them. I have zero faith in police to deal with the large anti-social behaviour here, and it's made me dislike having to be in public.

If you're a criminal come to NZ. You can rob any shop you want, no one has guns, and police departments won't bother with you even if the victims have your face on camera.
Right. Sometimes you can eliminate obvious correlates, but it's quite difficult to eliminate all of them.
This is kinda what the US was like up until the 1960s except you had to be white, male, straight, not Italian, Irish, or Polish, well educated and of good standing in your community (read: Christian, but preferably not Catholic).

Basically it sounds good until you realize that kind of power starts to self select for the kind of people it wants to succeed.
I tried to get people to use Wire but it was buggy enough, and still is with most ignored, the majority of converts have abandoned it. I have continual problems. If it would have been reliable it could have been a killer app as it was basically Skype but encrypted and ostensibly available on all platforms. Having a stand alone (no linked phone) browser (angostic) based option is a great feature. But, it really feels they left the free/Personal version in the dust for their Pro/Enterprise option and from reading Github complaints and seeing a former employee discuss it in another forum I'd assume that to be accurate. Signal isn't much better from reading around and also still requires a phone linked and is only Chrome if you want to use it on the desktop (unless I am behind the times). Seems the space for an all in one encrypted communication/sharing tool available and accessible to all people and platforms has sort of died. I will never trust FB so even if people way smarter than me say Whatsapp is safe it still feels so dirty...and again the phone required bit.
Not all filament designs have horrendous flicker—we are selling one that we designed with 8% worst case, usually more like 2-3% [0][1]. That's better than incandescent.

Even the normal non-filament LED bulbs can have high levels of flicker. I found one product claiming to be "healthy" that had around 55% flicker.

Most of the bulbs in The Home Depot are going to flicker a lot, especially the filament LEDs.

So owesome!! Keep it up
I don't know if that's completely true. Aren't many (most?) of the organized crime groups historically immigration-based in the US? The American Mafia was started by Italian immigrants in NYC, MS-13 by El Salvadorian immigrants in Los Angeles, etc.? I mean, we have MS-13 problems even here in Washington DC due to the large El Salvadorian population.

I would wager if Japan allowed as many El Salvadorians into Japan as made it into the US, they would start having MS-13 problems too (but maybe not; Japan authorities pretty much decimated the Yakuza last I read).
>Even if Google specifically started and ran Project Zero to target competitor's products

Many Googlers use iOS. I am not a Google fanboy (I prefer DuckDuckGo) but I don't think it's accurate to paint this as an attack on Apple. Not everything Google does is good, but Project Zero is a good thing IMHO.
I don’t understand what you’re getting at. The law should be universal and impartial. Clearly citizens should fight for their personal rights male or female. The majority can be oppressed and they should protect their rights as well as a minority group. The two aren’t at odds with each other. In fact if anyone’s rights are tread on we all suffer.
Most large companies have policies stating that employees have to disclose their affiliation on social media when talking about any matter concerning the company or its products. No one really follows it, but still.
Tribal Australian here. No, its not politics. This research is a very rare occasion that Google did something good. All other actions are evilcorp, hence the emotions. AMP, analytics in every page on internet, Chrome autologins, blocking 3rd party email servers, the list is big.

There are six legal bases for processing personal data under the GDPR. Which do you think applies in this case?

Additionally, sexual orientation is subject to special rules under the GDPR and cannot be processed at all without consent (and some edge cases). That could possibly apply as well.
In some ways, but it would re-inforce the stereotype of conformance. Hard to be an outlier, when your bank manager polices your behaviour. You have to want the Japanese social cohesion a LOT to go there, and remember the cultural ties which favour this also permitted warlords to rape China and Korea. In other ways Japan is pretty harsh: I'm told childbirth is unpleasant compared to many western cultures and the inequality wired into society concerns me.

But I can see upsides, sure. (in a totally different economy and back in the 1980s securing my first home lone in Australia with my partner) I actually liked knowing my bank manager was a person who understood my drives and motivations. The shame was he was late stage career, retired and was replaced by a robot functionary with different KPI.
Same here. Bored cops are an occupational hazard of living on a military base.

(Unless there's a war, of course.)
True, but Japanese work-life is not all salaryman culture either.
And yet we're the ones walking away.

Comparing a high-cost consumer electronics company with market dominance but little growth projection to an online retailer with enormous growth makes absolutely no sense. Comparing their P/E makes even less sense.

Price fixing is illegal. Announcing your prices publically is not. "We'll match any price" is also not illegal.
My grandfather was a soldier in the Pacific theater in WWII and he was always quick to point out that the Army had many more troops in theater, killed many more enemies, and suffered many more dead than the Marines did. The Army could have still won that theater without the Marines, albeit more slowly. The opposite is not true.

AWS is their business and it certainly scales. Their goal in retail is market dominance through convenience and that still costs a ton of money. AWS does not cost a ton of money.

Im actually curious what the actual legal requirement for 'acceptance' is here. Is using a website and knowing that it has a TOS and continuing using it implicit acceptance of the TOS? Can you simply put a "by a using this website you agree to the TOS" banner without explicitly getting consent?
South America is not a country.
It's not entrapment, because normal people don't see other people's stuff and think, "oh it's not locked down, guess it's mine now."
Yes but the ability for a university to patent a technology is to fund future research off royalties. NPEs aren't automatically trolls but rather trolls are NPEs.
There's some vague stuff. For example, GDPR requires you only keep data for a "reasonable" period of time. So many many years would likely not be reasonable in most logging scenarios.

I suspect as a payment processor though, being able to look back far when investigating breeches etc would be important.
Ah, so it's the private equity model of weighing down the company with debt to pay PE partners, and then pulling the plug on the company.
Gudluck!!
Good point. How about weakened blanks?
To me it is analogous to creating a ToS for your house where you claim if anyone takes a picture of it from a public space you are now owed money. If you wanted to enter the house and take pictures but couldn't without agreeing to the ToS that is a different matter. This might be why all LinkedIn profiles are behind a registration wall now.

Walmart, Amazon and Ikea all make their store-brand bulbs so that makes them a bigger target. Not because they are retailers alone.

It looks like Amazon may have even pulled their stock now.
The retailers have their own store brand filament led bulbs, this alone makes them bigger targets as they are electing to manufacture bulbs with their own branding on them.

As the learning experience of life, I realize that much of what Americans believe is a lie and that they cling to ideas and beliefs that aren't helpful for them in their circumstances: aspirational "rich" people who take up attitudes and political fashions that hurt themselves and let themselves be divided-and-conquered with artificial divisions until we're atomized and estranged from one another into seemingly virtual isolation. Plus, there's American hyper-individualism and anomie of discontent and hopelessness that's degrading the society from a network of communities into a Kafkaesque Lord of the Flies, anarcho-vulture-capitalist nightmare. American "exceptionalism" now seems to mean "If I get mine, screw everyone else."

I might disagree on this. The software engineering behind production machine learning systems can be quite interesting and nontrivial. It really depends on the scope of the challenges being faced. If you have thousands of models that need to be served in production and continually retrained and monitored, that becomes a pretty sophisticated problem space to work in.
Interesting. About half the toilets in my office are accessible, and the existing men:toilets ratio is about 150:1, so really it's 300:1. I should file an OSHA complaint.

Government property on a military base that isn't locked down/guarded is pretty much fair game since everyone will reallocate resources if they are mission critical...and everyone knows this so if you really want to keep your stuff you need it guarded.
