It's a script that merges YAML objects, there's an overhead to Java for this use case. I did consider Kotlin, but that same overhead of a POM, plugins to build capsules/fat jars etc.
Its highly dependent on personality of course, but Ive also seen this. A person that REALLY likes to talk for 10 minutes about details... which nobody really cares about. He even understood that it was not what anyone else wanted, but he thought "the standup is useless unless I get to say something elaborate and long-winded!"

He could not understand that "I had not trouble yesterday, and today I will keep going on my task" could be a useful update to the team. I mean, in general it isn't but when something unexpexcted happens you are supposed to say it, not something unique for every day. 90% of my dailies are basically: "I am still working on X, and its moving forward, continuing today".

I suppose that YMMV, it really depends on the team and product. I worked for one of the letters you failed to mentioned an had a fair share of influence on the final product
They said the flare lasted 300,000 years, but how quickly does something like this start? How fast does it go from "nothing" to "full strength"?

Also if there was any form of life orbiting a star in the path of this flair, is it safe to assume that said life is no longer alive? At least if that life resembles us in its tolerance (or lack thereof) for radiation.
So this is interesting; assuming that this doesn't go to the Supreme Court or is otherwise unchanged by it, it could mean that after some states implement their own laws (and fight off the inevitable lobby/lawsuits attempts to stop from from doing so ), this could go down two ways:

1) The ISPs create two (or mor) versions of their packages that they can offer/operate in different states - this would be quite expensive (and I suspect in some cases quite difficult too), but it would allow them to leech extra profit off the hides of customers not protected by state law; it would generate a bit of outrage when users see their family and friends in other parts of the country are better off, but I doubt that will make the whole system collapse

2) Or they will give in and accept the higher(highest?) standard, similar to what's happening for car emissions. I am maybe too cynical, but I doubt that will happen so easily.

Car emissions are a secondary thing for manufacturers - they can grumble, but at the end of the day it's just a bit of extra cost. The repeal of net neutrality is a matter of life or death for ISPs - it's what will make the difference between them being able to maintain outsized profits and power in their nice little oligopoly, vs becoming dumb pipes.
> Plus, a state can always get warrants and tap when it's needed, e.g. for suspected or known Jakuza members, without having to do it for everybody...

Wait, but this sub-thread started with "all wiretapping was illegal" - so it was not only warrantles wiretapping that was illegal, if I understood it correctly.
It only took ARM licensees about 5 years (2013-2018) to come up with competitive 64 bit chips like the (now sadly cancelled) Qualcomm Amberwing and Cavium ThunderX2. These chips are every bit as capable as Xeon. The decode stage is not a large part of any microarchitecture.
Yes. That's what I said:

>Its not of course always the correct information that is on the first results

That seems like it would pertain to any google search query tho. I don't think I ever just click a single link when I'm trying to find information about a subject.
It's perfectly reasonable to assign weight to the numbers. We should think about their meaning. If I had to choose I'd definitely take having my message history dumped over being raped. That said, having my private messages made public is bad. I would be emotionally distressed. I wouldn't be getting over it in a couple days either. I should also point out that we are more geographically dispersed from our close friends and family these days. For many of us electronic communication is all we have to talk with those we love and those we depend on for our financial well being.

The going dark alarmists claim (excuse me for being a bit off, I'm on mobile and don't want to double check) something like 12 million incident reports from Facebook pertaining to some 40 million images. Sounds big. But then again I could counter with a reasonable guess of 10 messages per user on average for a staggering 10 billion private messages at risk.

What the FBI doesn't like to admit is that our security track record isn't great. We've had a lot of huge breaches and they aren't going to stop any time soon. We do not have and are not going to have 100 million creeps trading kiddie porn, but we have certainly had data breaches of that scale already. We don't have any great techniques to secure databases like Equifax or OPM, but we can effectively mitigate the threat of mass breach of our private communication. The FBI says it has technical experts who assure us backdoors won't put us at risk. Well just last week we see yet another vulnerability in Signal that allowed an attacker to turn this tool for privacy, designed and built by world class experts, reviewed by world class experts, into a remote listening device.

Is having 10 years of private messages made public 1/100th as bad as being raped? 1/1000th? 1/10000th? Multiply by a by 100 million or a billion and we're talking about a lot of hurt. It's uncomfortable to have to compare such things, but we really have to think about these trade offs.

I wasn't trying to make the slippery slope argument, though I see how it could be read that way. I'm raising a question of ethics: Is it justified to require all of us to record all of our in person conversations? If not, then how is it ethical to demand we do the same with the modern electronic equivalent? This isn't theoretical. We're already pretty far down the road of replacing our in person contact with the kind mediated by other people's computers.

Finally, and this is a bit of a tangent, I also point out that even if our communication was perfectly secured end to end, the minute details of our lives are more recorded and accessible to law enforcement than ever before. We carry cell phones that record our locations, pay with credit cards that record what we buy and where, read "newspapers" that keep lists of what we read, and so on. In that respect authorities have vastly more investigative power than ever before. Law enforcement likes to talk about balance, but it sure doesn't like to talk about that and goes the extra mile to keep it quiet with parallel construction.
The camera is so crappy as well on the A2 lite. But the batery lasts 48hs.
This is where small embedded devices come handy. Any small cheap board with video output can be turned into a powerful demo (and games) playing machine, at 1/50 or less the cost of hardware in the demoscene era.
Daily standups while being mostly useless on the surface, have an implicit value of enforcing a daily face to face communication between team members who work remotely. In remote teams I often find that people who don't interact face to face frequently, but work on the same part of the system, are more likely to run into communication problems down the road - doing duplicate work, passive aggressive attitudes in PR reviews, poor communication in general which impacts the system in a very direct and negative way.

Here's a thing -- people rarely become friends over email or slack conversations, unfortunately. And a team of friendly people who trust each other and communicate efficiently (e.g. feel absolutely comfortable setting up a quick video conferencing call to talk about an issue) is a lot more valuable than a team of people who rarely talk to each other and mostly prefer texting over anything else.

Those are my findings when working with remote teams only. I don't think standups are necessary for colocated teams, which can sync at will anytime they want.
> “AlphaGo uses more electricity than any human; does it not win at Go?”

I know you have a prolific reputation, and I mean this sincerely, but did you actually read the link?

The point was that with power constraints, the class of possible algorithms is restricted heavily, requiring development of an understanding closer to what algorithms a person must use in their mind.

If you present me a Go-based Turing test, and I’m pretty fooled by AlphaGo, except I get blasted by the hot air venting out from a big cooling system, then it probably reveals to me that it’s failed the test (at least until some far future where there are life forms that regularly vent computer-levels of hot air from cooling systems).

This effect is much more pronounced with a larger system like Watson, hence the article.

> “If a NN uses more electricity than 150 watts to classify images at superhuman rates, why does this matter?”

It matters because pure computing achievements are not isolated from their resource constraints. If a NN can generate flawless natural language responses, but it takes 1000 years per word, we would not be interested and certainly would not see it as valuable progress towards artificial intelligence (likely not even strong AI, but surely not tool AI, there just aren’t a lot of ways to demonstrate a conceptual breakthrough so wasteful of resources). Intelligence is (partly) generating language within human-level time constraints. Why not also human level RAM, physical volume, material density, etc. Solving it within these constraints is much more valuable than solving it without them.

Likewise with power. Maybe using 100x power is an OK tradeoff for pure tool
usage (heck, I work professionally in computer vision and NLP and I make this concession to use machine learning models running on computers to solve my work daily).

But that doesn’t mean it’s an ok trade-off for the philosophical side of the questions, like approximating a Turing test or understanding how far we must go from modern deep neural networks to the algorithms an actual brain is using. And, ultimately, these will move from being philosophical issues to being practical ones.

> “Is there some reason to think that AI can never be misused or cause problems if it happens to use somewhat more electricity?”

Huh? Where did I ever say anything like this? I mean, humans misuse intelligence and cause problems on less power.

It sounds like you’re trying to propagate your feelings about the “green” aspect of the post into what I’ve said, but if you’ll notice, I did not say anything about that, and don’t particularly care about this OP article’s take on “green” AI power consumption, it’s not related at all to what I’m talking about. (Plus they are more focused on power demands at training time, while I’m interested in power constraints, like runtime or space constraints, at inference time).
> I see what you're saying but don't quite get it's "discrimination" if the terms are the same for everyone and gender is not even visible if the site is used in accordance with the terms.

It doesn't have to be actual discrimination; half the time the mob is screaming "discrimination" there isn't any. There are issues you aren't supposed to touch unless you're willing to defend yourself from people who care about winning, and not at all about truth or accurate accusations.

> I go to SO to solve problems. I couldn't care less about pronouns one way or the other. I'd use the "anonymous" version of the site, no problem. In fact I'd prefer it that way.

You may not care, I may not care, but enough people at important enough places care enough for this to explode into a shitstorm, as you can see in front of you right now.

> And Twitter? Really? Who cares? It's not like people would stop using SO just because a few activists shit on it on Twitter.

If you're the site owner, you may care, because behind few activists on Twitter there comes a mob, and behind a Twitter mob come the journalists. This story has been repeating itself over and over for almost a decade now.
> will end up with badly formatted timestamps.

I'm not sure why you think that. If rfc3339 format is required, then either a custom formatter can be created or a 3rd party lib can be used. Go may be silly in its stdlib, but it doesn't stop you from doing the right thing.

Smart things, like smart plugs, bulbs, locks or everything that is remotely controllable and manageable via App or Cloud.

It is not regulated what happens in the case that the vendor isn't able or willing to support those devices anymore.
Keeping Apps up to date and new apps if new Mobile OSes arise or keep the light on in general. Right now it all depends on the goodwill of the vendor.

If the provider decides to not support anymore for whatever reason you have a smart brick!
I'm not sure how you have interpreted my statement to mean the above. Please re-read without the assumptions.
I get your point and I agree with you, but to be fair, spotting a physical backdoor would be a little easier than a software one, and I think that’s why there are no laws against it—people have no idea this is happening.
I guess that's why we won't be hearing radio signals from the Magellanic clouds...

Now, seriously, what would be a safe distance for an Earth like planet to be from such an unlucky event?
That wasn't my experience, but it definitely takes an emphasis on brevity to prevent that. We found two techniques that helped with bigger teams:

1. Everyone explicitly has the responsibility to say "this is going too deep, let's continue it outside of standup" when needed.

2. Having a timer visible that resets after each person's update. This makes it clear when one person's update is taking too long. We were able to get rid of the timer once we had the flow down.

Also, it's crucial that everyone on the team feels comfortable saying: "these standups aren't a good use of our time, let's make a change". That's how those techniques were introduced.
Even companies that used to be considered trusted by most people are doing it --- just look at Windows 10 for example... full of ads and telemetry which are nearly impossible to disable, thanks to that backdoor known as "Windows Update" which can easily revert all your changes (and is itself Hydra-like to disable.)
As a sidenote: I'm always annoyed at technical articles and pages on the web without timestamps/dates/any hint that allows you to discern the age of the information.

It costs around $180 and is quite popular in Europe.

This is thoroughly wrong. China has a large number of fabless design places which have been going for years, and is now starting to get into manufacturing in a big way. Lately it's been driven by the trade war (so that worked well ...)
I was writing about the national power grid in Germany and other countries; basically, the lines at 220 kV or higher, or HVDC, that transfers power from e.g. the wind power stations at North Sea to the consumers and industry that needs electricity in Bavaria.

Likewise for Sweden: there is hydro and other capacity in north, but power grid cannot transfer enough power to users in Skåne (Malmö) so that industrial projects are cancelled.

Basically the same as always: simplify local regulations, lower barriers to entry both to foreign people, ideas and capital, and also to local outsider who want to break into existing industries.

Or to make it shorter and more pragramatic: look at what Singapore did when they were at the same stage of development.
Well, you just linked a forum post on a forex trading website, I'm not sure how much weight I would put on that.

However, I did read the link and did some own research. I do see the argument that we need to revisit the causality of bank loans through the demand side argument. This however does not need to mean that "Fractional reserve banking does not exist". I'm not sure what makes you think that.

I once sat on a train for 3hr waiting for a railroad employee to show up with a chainsaw and cut a downed tree of the track. There was another employee in a service truck equipped for brush clearing a couple miles away at the station waiting for his wife who was stuck on the same train. He couldn't clock in and deal with the downed tree, because rules. This story is fairly well known among people who ride that rail line so some here may recognize it.
