True.

Except that you don't need to trust anyone, entirely.

That's the point of nested VPN chains. Let's say that you have three different VPN services in the chain. The first VPN knows your ISP-assigned IP address, and the IP address of the second VPN server. The second VPN knows the IP address of the first VPN server, and the IP address of the third VPN server. The third VPN knows the IP address of the second VPN server, and the IP address of the site that you're accessing.

An adversary would need information from all three VPNs, or from their data centers and/or ISPs.
> That narrative is never supported by the facts, and the extradition treaty has been withdrawn. You keep saying it does not make it true.

It’s still not withdrawn, Ms. Lam has only promised she will. But the bill is still in second reading.

> After the signing of the Sino-British Joint Declaration. It's like agreeing to sell your company, then doubling the salary of every employee before handing over the company to the new owner. It's reckless, irresponsible, but sadly, very effective.

These are not employees of the CCP who’s freedom is draining China’s budget, these are people who’s freedom and independent judiciary made them an attractive spot for foreign investment in the first place. The only thing the expansion of voting rights cost the CCP was a more expensive process to influence and pressure Hong Kong.
With democracy, such a pointless bill as the extradition bill would not have been proposed in the first place, and the threat of losing re-election would have made the LegCo fully withdraw the bill immediately instead of after months of protest. And, a democracy has checks and balances to investigate police departments for excessive violence and corruption, another thing that the people of Hong Kong lost when the CCP rolled back the amendments that restricted police power.

> Just like the exile of Edward Snowden by no means indicate the unraveling of freedom of speech in the US.

I can publish a full page ad in every US newspaper calling for the US to drop all charges against Snowden and have absolutely no repercussions from the US government. I can’t do that in China calling for the release of Gui. That’s the main reason the case of Edward Snowden is not unravelling free speech in the US, or the west.

I work for Bonnier, one of the largest publishers in the Nordics, and the Hong Kong government took out a full page ad in our largest newspaper, Dagens Nyheter, where they argued that Western governments should keep out of Hong Kong’s business. The editor in chief, Peter Wolodarski, explained why we did it like this;

”We gave the Chinese regime the opportunity to present their case in one of the most prestigious newspapers in the country. An opportunity they deny their own citizens. Because that’s how much we value free speech in Sweden, and that’s how little the CCP values free speech.”
As much as I'd like to say you'd get caught quickly, you could probably get away with it for a while in any group that didn't have ML expertise already.

If you really wanted to you could fabricate results and in lots of cases nobody would be any the wiser unless you were supposed to be releasing software. Despite emphasis on peer review and repeatability, science relies heavily on etiquette. If you don't release code or a dataset a lot of times it's extremely difficult to repeat paper results, and that also means it's hard to disprove the work.

It's quite hard to get rid of incompetent people in academia, so I imagine you could get away with at least a year or two.
This is a quite short-sighted point of view. The real challenge is to establish a stable new regime after toppling the old one. In the case of mainland China that has no prior experience at all as a democratic society, it would have a difficult time adapting (PRC before WWII doesn't count since it was unstable and higly corrupt). Also, a weak goverment is in danger of neglecting to address the internal challenges China faces (tensions with minorities, poverty in rural regions, environmental destruction).

I personally understand both sides of the argument but I would like to be a devil's advocate this time and provide an opinion similar to the OP:

The analogy of this will be like someone who declares that he is the master of his own fate and has freedom to do whatever he wants. Then he proceeds to slave away in a dead-end job with non-existent autonomy.

For European countries, which had dabbled with socialism but were liberalizing their economies in the last few decades, growth was strong at the median, not just the top 1%: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DAaB94YXsAQSCXI.jpg

That is why France is longer “socialist.” People keep voting for people like Macron, and have stopped voting for people like Mitterrand, because capitalism works phenomenally well.

As to the U.S., stagnating wages are not true either. There are at least two main problems with the simplistic comparisons:

1) They don't measure the same people. The common choice of start date for the "stagnation" narrative is in the 1970s. Since then, the percentage of people that are immigrants has nearly tripled. The percentage of older people skyrocketed, the percentage of married households have fallen, etc.

Looking at the same groups of people, for example, just married couples, has a huge effect: https://www.justfacts.com/income_wealth_poverty.asp

> This means that comparing the income gains of the bottom three quintiles in 1979 and 2007 has little to do with the path of real families. Instead it is a commentary on the overall structure of the economy in that it compares low income people in 1979 to low income people in 2007 even though they aren’t the same people. … For example, the median income of those 20-31 in 1979 and married was $51,800 (2007 dollars), while 28 years later in 2007, the median of those 48 to 59 and married was $87,200.

^^^ This website has a ton of other great data slicing and dicing the various income trends. For example:

> Page 1: “The changing composition of households in the U.S. is the effect explaining the reported increase in Gini coefficient for households since 1967. When corrected for actual decrease in the average household size the relevant Gini coefficient returns to that of personal incomes.”

> From 1967 to 2011, the Gini index for persons in the U.S. has not varied by more than 2%.

2) They don't account for benefits.

Focusing on just wages rather than total compensation ignores the fact that our tax structure has encouraged more of total compensation to go to untaxed benefits: https://fee.org/articles/dispelling-the-myth-that-wages-have...

> Average real wages and benefits have risen by nearly 40 percent since 1973, after adjusting for inflation. Sensational claims that 80-90 percent of Americans have experienced low and stagnant real incomes since 1973 are also shown to be incorrect . . . real consumption per person increased 74 percent from 1980 to 2004—a rate of improvement that far exceeded the trend from 1950 to 1979.
Are you referring to this brief statement [1]? That does not pass as sincere in my book. Good luck to him in the future, I hope he gets everything sorted.

Google and FB are doing the same thing with their data (and worse) and the engineers they employ don’t seem to care that much, even though they are pretty smart.
There's presumably no way to allow that without also thereby allowing you to change the apparent content of the Netflix service—or of other sites! (Suppose that you could hijack the user's DNS to redirect ubuntu.com to a page that said "Thanks for your interest in Ubuntu! To download the latest version, click <a href='https://evil.com/ubuntu/ubuntu.iso'>here</a>." How can you allow one kind of hijacking without also allowing the other?)

There has been work on allowing networks to communicate out-of-band to browsers for administrative purposes. Even this is risky in general because of the phishing possibilities, among other things. Showing users arbitrary messages from network operators in the middle of the users' other browsing activities is likely to make it even easier to confuse the users into taking actions that they really didn't intend to do.

Civil disobedience worked because it became unprofitable for Britain to stay in the short to medium term, for China it's a territorial claim and they're happy to wait out any lost profits.

Gandhi's first stint at civil disobedience also landed him in jail for 6 years and there was a lot of violence that also played it's role in Indian independence.

Even with an Afghanistan style insurrection it's hard to see China bleeding enough money to give in, so I'm not sure violent means are much of an answer either.
> Stu was a live player and he would probably eat every current "online" poker player alive if he sat down on a real table and could get his legendary reads off.

I couldn't disagree more with this but all of that is just speculation.

> The sort of technical analysis and "solvers" that you see ppl bring up in this thread is completely nullified when one plays live and is really good at reading people

This is just mathematically wrong. You're also overestimating the degree to which live reads matter. And underestimating how little it takes for an even half-decent player to have good live-poker composure.
I worked at a couple of major telcos at my country, and at the last one - where we had literally millions of active ISP and mobile users - we were approached by a company willing to pay for DNS resolver data. It is definitely a thing (and possible income source) even if you don’t do that kind of analytics yourself.

But I’m fascinated by the legal implications. Right now in Portugal sites are DNS-blocked for copyright reasons (IIRC without the need for what you’d call full legal oversight, just a sort of loose arbitration with the local equivalent of the RIAA), and this is going to play merry havoc with that.

(Uber’s website was also DNS blocked for a while due to hassles with licensed cabs, which was interesting because the mobile app never stopped working — can’t remember if it was an actual court order, but this should give you an idea of how technically clueless some people are over here...)
I think the "Richard Feynman" algorithm is figuring out a way to get to the desired result for a specific challenge without having to past through all steps needed to solve the general problem.

The example of Feynman cracking safes is perfect - he just used a bunch of special tricks rather than any general method - similarly with quick numeric calculations in his head.[1]

That said, while most hard problems need to framed in a different way not all hard problems yield to the "clever detour into something simple" approach. A lot of math problems are solved by a detour into a bunch, difficult things and then a return to your original "seemingly simple" problem (see Fermat's Last Theorem etc).

prefixes such as "fix: " are better expressed at the bottom of the commit message body.

They are metadata, and as such they shouldn't take more attention than the actual data.

This matters when you are in a bug hunt in production - you want to find the culprit commit as efficiently as possible, without distractions.

From what I understand, a DDoS attack any pat of your system, usually the part that is the slowest. You want to kill attacking traffic as quickly as possible without affecting genuine traffic. As for attacks on the network itself, this is where you rely on your cloud service provider.
The data also shows widespread economic disparity due to geography, yet Harvard doesn't give the poor kids an extra 200 points on their SAT. If Harvard actually cared about this issue they would create additional scholarship programs that review people on a case-by-case basis rather than a blanket policy.
That sounds backwards. You sure that will be their biggest concern if you drop dead? They can always throw out your weird techy stuff and buy some cheap commodity solution and get them installed.

Your reasoning sounds like, I'm not going to do breakfast for my family, because, ya know, if I drop dead, they will miss the breakfasts.
Large-scale Negative, zero or below-cost renewables only happen if someone else foots the bill. And that usually means tax-payer funded subsidies. I mean sure, there will be some hours during exceptionally sunny/windy days when price is less than the production cost, but don't bet your business on it.

What does work is building the plant in a wind/solar abudant location and co-siting with large, behind-the-meter wind/solar plant. Not only do you get electricity at cost, but you cut the grid costs and taxes away too.
You're not saving them any work by creating that PR. That's better discussed and agreed on in advance.

No, always own your platform, Medium has shit UX (forced popup that ask user to sign up, plus top sticky banner sometimes). And now Medium has started to put paywall on articles, and the profit sometimes doesn't go to the author.

You can use Jekyll / Hugo to generate your blog staticly and host in on Github Pages or your own server. If these are too much effort, simply sign up for a wordpress blog , it works well too.

I came across Erik around the middle of my CS degree and since then his blog posts and talks have been major 'passive mentoring' for me.

I really admire what he's acheived so far in his career and I also really like the way he approaches software development. He's successfully straddled the Data Engineering <-> ML divide, something I've been trying to do myself.

His ideas about growth companies and personal human capital have also been influential. Part of the reason I turned down a Senior position paying more money to go in as a grad at a growing unicorn was his advice.

Also good to see him still reinforcing Stats as underrated. I just applied to go into a short graduate program in Maths & Stats because I'm not got enough at it to be an ML Engineer.

One of things I find amazing about the datasheet culture is that there is minimal marketing bullshit (although there are exceptions, I am looking at you, ST Electronics). Skimming through ADA4350 datasheet, I see no trace of any kind of trickery that we usually see in other industries. Datasheets are the thing people look for and since the audience is engineers, they won't put up with marketing nonsense. As a consequence, there is almost perfect objectivity in selling a product - based on features, performance, operability, etc. Since decision makers are engineers, data and specifications prevail.
Hard disagree. I think of Bob Sutton's quote a lot (I don't think its his quote, he just use it a lot as well) : Speak as if you were certainly right, listen as if you were certainly wrong.

That makes sense. My goal in life is to never work for a company where that type of thing would be considered seriously.

Indeed, acting as if the Zeta's rise came technological magic distracts from the point that all this is a product of the drug war and moreover, the approaches of the Zetas mirrored the approaches of the police and military - given the Zetas were ex police and military.

The drug war has become mostly cynical and with those deeply involved not expecting it will ever change anything, not for the good. And it's easy to see this cynicism bleeding over to corruption.
