If you're pulling data from somewhere automatically then you should make sure to define the data contracts well and that they're not changed. Also, A/B test things if possible. I've had issues in the past where the data pipeline view of the data and the API view of the data weren't the same. Or where a bug was fixed that resulted in the values of certain fields to change.

These tools and services are everywhere. It's simply not true that you can live outside of them in a modern internet.

If you do somehow escape entirely, the people in your life still haven't.

In what sense have you made a choice here? Or are you living outside of the zeitgeist entirely? The conversations and politics of the day are happening on Twitter with or without you. Very real policy is happening in 240 characters.

> I don’t believe in any of this or whatever obligations others say I have.

Ok... But the culture is shifting. POTUS has Tweeted every single day since announcing that he'll be running for office. Twitter has an effect on your life.

Not having a twitter account doesn't change that. Not using Facebook directly doesn't change the fact that their tracking pixels are all over the internet. Not using gmail doesn't mean your email isn't being mined on the back end.

Putting your head in the sand and saying "it doesn't effect me" isn't true.

>The only framework that has social merit/weight, IMO is the legislative one. Not a corporations interest in gaming our agency for their feudal trade schemes.

Ok?

>I don’t believe in any of this or whatever obligations others say I have. I’ll politically support ones that seem sensible: m4a, education, engineering at scale to support those initiatives.

Ok.. But you are still playing in the same sandbox as the rest of us. And this sandbox is very influenced by FAANG companies and the policies they offer.

I don't see anything wrong with this if the parents want to share credit with their kids. In any case, there are many cases where authorship is shared with people who didn't contribute, if universities are taking it at face value that's on them. Also, who is to say that the kids weren't onvolved in some way, maybe just as a person to bounce ideas off of.

It is of course vitally important that the 1's and the 0's even out, otherwise you might overflow the bit bucket and jam the tubes.

(This is actually a thing, encoding schemes like MFM and RLL in magnetic media ensure there aren't too many sequential 1 bits etc. See also "Grey codes")
OMG, resistance to change is so crazy. I've fought for years to get teams to adopt a relatively simple pattern (complete with transition plans to minimize pain). After the change finally happens, everyone talks about how amazing and brilliant it is, and if I ever have big ideas like this "please share them."

So, I bring up data quality, and how we need a centralized test architecture! Same. Blank. Stares... and I'm another year in on shifting the needle, while random reports spontaneously stop breaking and we wait for customers to report data outages.

What you describe is what I did to my older Outback a few years ago, replaced the aftermarket non BT stereo my older brother had in it with BT. The swap wasn't too bad and It's been working great since then.

I just got a recent year Mazda3 that came with the free (from Mazda) upgrade to Android Auto/Apple Carplay. I'm and Android guy so can't speak to Carplay but the basic functions provided by AA like music/podcast playback, navigation, and overall interface are solid even without a touch screen. In fact, I'd say the lack of touch screen is a perk as I'm not reaching out to tap something vs using the console/cup holder area interface that I picked up quickly and like (other than a so far not re-mapable star/favorites button that only goes to the Mazda audio favorites list outside of AA). It's less distracting than a mounted phone, has a bigger screen for navigation, and works really well for me. I don't think Id buy a newer car without either a basic BT stereo setup or full blown AA.

That being said, I have the trade off now of requiring a cable for AA to work otherwise I'm only on the built in BT infotainment (which I still find way better than the Toyota Corolla interface I tested out recently). I'm still used to leaving my phone in my pocket or jacket so I have to remember to pull it out and often end up leaving it plugged in and walking away (the spot where it sits is well hidden so not too worried about theft in my location). According to forums, it is possible to hook my phone to AA setup via wifi and project wirelessly with some lag which I am interested in setting up but I think I need to update the software in my unit before it can make the wifi connection.

I'm really liking the AA setup in this car. It's pretty intuitive, easy to set up and control, and feels safer than another setup with the caveat that it needs a cable. Good news is it keeps the phone charged up (the Toyota Corolla USB didn't provide enough power to charge my phone, for some reason). I would recommend it.
To add onto this, unreasonable doesn’t mean “unfair”. It means “backed by reason”.

Like in a jury case, reasonable doubt doesn’t mean “a small level of doubt is acceptable”. It means that “aliens made me do it” is not sufficient to counter evidence.

FWIW, in this case it might be better to use `site:reddit.com` for more accurate results. I tried your example and it narrowed down 264k results -> 12k results, although I'm not sure how much stock should be put into that figure because after reloading the first page it went down to 93k results. ‾\_(ツ)_/‾

For both searches, the first page was largely the same just in a different order. The big difference comes on the later pages of results.

I'd recommend exporting R model as PMML file, and getting your Java team to interact with Openscoring server.

PMML is language agnostic model specification (XML like). Python and R machine learning ecosystem can easily generate these (caveat, only tried for gbdt and linear models and not sure this works well for neural nets).

Openscoring is Java library that creates rest API for scoring
models. It's lightweight, battle-tested, nice API, good model versioning and in my experience 10x faster than Python flask. You don't need to write any Java code, just download and run the .jar and post valid PMML to the right endpoint.

Another feasible approach is Sagemaker deploy - code from Jupyter notebook can deploy API in one line. I think this can be less economical and have higher latency if you will have high usage but a datascientist can do model updates from within a notebook.

Please NEVER hardcode regression model coefficients within Java. This is a nightmare to maintain, prevents increasing model complexity and is no simpler than PMML + openscoring. I think you can wrap the Java PMML library in another Java web framework like spring if you need something more bespoke.

These problems are here because we keep electing people who's goal is to dismantle public infrastructure. We keep doing that because of the same narrow thinking that causes us to throw everyone else's children under the bus for the sake of our own.

We've inherited the world we deserve. If we want to make it better, we have to earn it. If you don't want to do that, fine, but then you don't get to complain about the results.

It's definitely possible to lose weight without being in a deficit of calories.

For example, insufficient protein (or protein precursors like amino acids) can cause the breakdown of muscle, which is denser and weighs more than fat. You'd have to have a sizable excess of calories to have the fat storage to cancel out the loss of muscle mass.
It was always CLEARLY unconstitutional. It's worrying it took so long to have it declared as such.
> Could be new or old but it makes a difference as they expire after 17 years.

Assuming US, it would only be 17 years if the patent was filed before 1995. The term then was 17 years after the patent issued. For patents filed 1995 or later, the term is 20 years from the date of filing.
This is a really good point. The pace of shameless lying is so fast it's impossible to keep up.

Even if you're paying attention you can't keep it all straight in your head. You have to be a real time BS processing machine these days. And that simply isn't possible.
Personally I find booking .com and related sites to be so aggressive and downright manipulative (“40 people are viewing this right now!” “Your dates are super popular, 70% of hotels in this city are sold out!” Showing 5 hotels that are sold out first in order to make you feel desperate to find and book anything!) that I hate using it even though they often have the best prices. So I will do my hotel searches elsewhere and the only go to booking .com once I’ve already made a decision, to check it they have a lower price. See also agoda, trip .com, etc

Much immigration law is pure statute and dates from the 20th century. Border enforcement has varied hugely, and often included internal border and migration enforcement.

>So how can you protect your users against these threats in today’s software ecosystem?

>You could subscribe to a monitoring service that alerts you when a vulnerability is found one of your dependencies. But this only works for those that have been found. And even once a vulnerability has been found, there’s a good chance the maintainer won’t be able to fix it quickly. For example, Snyk found in the npm ecosystem that for the top 6 packages, the median time-to-fix (measured starting at the vulnerability’s inclusion) was 2.5 years.

Sometimes it looks like writers think that the average reader is complete idiot. How is that supposed to be example? First they say that it takes long time fix once the bug is found and as illustration they give period starting with introduction of vulnerability?

As a physicist who is looking for a job, the primary things preventing me from working on defense projects are twofold:

1. Defense systems are, in general, useful for offense. Unless I can know that the primary utility of an innovation is for good, I cannot work on it. Our only control in the matter is our choice of which innovations to make. I was heartbroken the day I saw a citation of my work in a military application, as it was never the intent of the work.

I'll do nuclear non-proliferation work all day, but won't touch a system that can kill another human unless we are at war. Humans are really, really good at killing one another -- we don't need to get better at that.

2. Defense projects are classified, and classification is the antithesis of science.

I've looked into RAID at home but came to the conclusion that there are plenty of easier/cheaper ways to do backup. I just use USB drives, have a couple rotating Time Machine backups plus Backblaze. (Plus, when I think of it once a year or so, I have one more copy of my main data disk that I keep in a fire box.)

I don't really use Windows but you can do something similar--though in my experience it's not as simple.

I don't really care if I avoid any downtime. So long as I have belt and suspenders backups, I'm pretty comfortable.
No, they don't.

To start: of course this is tracked federally, it has been for years. Here's a recent report https://files.hudexchange.info/resources/documents/2018-AHAR...

You will note that it calls out that African Americans are extremely disproportionately represented in homeless groups (13% of population, 40% of homeless people), and in the overall demographic table we can see that white people make up about 50% of homeless people vs ~70% of the population. It also mentions that among the population of unsheltered people, which are the group I'd call more visible, white people are slightly less under-represented, at 60%.

The only place '72%' comes up in the report you linked is the BoS counties, not Tucson, so I'll assume you meant that. That seems well out of proportion to the total population so I'd ask some questions about how well the counts cover tribal lands, etc (since it's actually a count used for federal assistance, which is handled differently on tribal lands). There is increasing attention given to the lack of attention to homelessness on tribal lands, and they definitely used to not be counted - this report gives some info on how they can be undercounted even if included http://www.ruralhome.org/storage/documents/rpts_pubs/na_home...

Actually there have been a couple of lawsuits in Germany that changed the practice locally: https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=12d4d756-d753...

Now most are very careful and even "overdisclose" advertising as a result (they disclose even for products they mention that they are not paid for it).

Again, a non-substantive response and deflection. I don't care what credentials pop up when I google your name. You still have provided no actual critiques of anything Michael Lewis has claimed or stated, and instead you continue to make the same "appeal to authority" fallacy (while simultaneously failing to prove why you have any more authority than Lewis).

If you would like explain why Lewis is wrong, I'm all ears. Otherwise take the meaningless criticisms elsewhere.

That's not how any other insurance works. Providers charge the same amount regardless of coverage, insurance, etc. and whatever your insurance covers (including nothing at all) you are responsible for. But they also tell you up front what they are going to charge you and you acknowledge that you accept responsibility for making sure they get paid that amount either out of your own pocket or by covering the gap of what insurance pays.

The idea that having insurance changes the cost is sort of a misdirection. There's a chance my plan doesn't cover some or all of things that will be billed. So there is always a risk of non-payment or partial payment. Yes, they sometimes do pre-approvals for specific procedures but that doesn't always translate to proper billing/coding that gets covered.

The vast majority of healthcare are not ER visits which means people have a chance to review and accept the responsibility of payment. But that would also mean they would know what the hell they would be charged. There's no good reason for a hospital to say "oh you don't have insurance so we're going to basically mark your bill up 3x just to be safe. Marking the bill up 3x, for example, doesn't change the fact that they are really only seeking 1x so the people who can afford to pay 3x are legally required to do so because for some reason this is viewed as a legit practice and not fraud. And the people that can't settle for something less than 3x, usually much less. Maybe 1x...in which case the providers gets what they were after anyway and just indicates further that this is a sort of fraud and extortion.
Wow, that was quick. Thank you :-)

I would add data integrity to the list, in addition to redundancy and backups.

ZFS is great in this regard: redundancy, data scrubbing to ensure data integrity and built-in snapshotting and data replication features (zfs send-receive). Can't believe how I got by without ZFS in my earlier years of data hoarding.
And yet the fourth amendment says what it says. I'm prepared to agree to disagree with the Supreme Court on the subject, but the bill of rights is, to me, clear.

Given the reality of living in a world where references lead to enrichment, this should be considered fraud in every case. The authorship system hinges on trust. Abusing that trust for family gain is wrong.
