If by ML noob you mean to say that you're like me and have zero formal CS training (as in, I don't know what a data structure is), pickling lets you write your Python workspace to a file just like Matlab's .mat file loading. It's excellent for writing scripts defining different parts of a data pipeline, or just for debugging/trying new things without waiting 20 minutes for something to filter.
Because the ten-blue-link results are trash.

And counterexample - every time I look up a hotel, I want to go to their actual homepage because I find the aggregators often intermingle pictures of the different room types and I want to see what the actual actual suite I'm booking looks like.

And Google buries the actual hotel homepage pretty deep, in my experience.
Intel announces raft of new vulnerabilities
dont people authenticate indiviually using their own credentials on a common bastion host? that seems quite odd to me and like the actual issue here. if you got root already on the bastion host there are quite a few ways to obtain credentials i would guess...
I asked Brandon Phillips (Then CoreOS CTO) on a call how they said it. He was quite frank it was pronounced "kway" and not "key", much to the chagrin of our Aussie coworker who still calls it "key". I've called it "kway" since.
Oh, there are a so many of these schemes running in Germany around company registration that notaries are now accounting for them in the incorporation paper work. Notaries are protecting themselves having a written confirmation their clients have been made aware of the problem.

The scam is done by crawling the public announcements of new registered companies. Then the scammer, also a proper company, sends out an "offer" for registration in their database. Also, be aware refusal to pay will result in deletion of the record and people won't be able to find the company in that particular database. Fees are payable within two weeks, wire transfer and bank details are included, and run between 400 and 800 Euro (at least the ones I got). One number I heard was that roughly a third of new companies pay at least one of these scammers. Crazy, right? Also legal because it is an "offer" for a "service"...

> The second policy—deductible security—pairs an insurance policy that has an annual deductible with a health savings account (HSA) that the policy’s sponsor funds each year with an amount equal to the annual deductible.

Yeah, people avoid care when they have those plans. Is that a good outcome ?
My suggestion is that you get rid of the managers and have senior engineers manage themselves.
This is discussed in the blog post; see the discussion of "time protection".
That's actually the hard part. Video streaming is easy, and done with CDNs.
Probably has to do with their decision to name it after the cockroach. I mean, if they had called it MaggotDB or BotFlyDB or TapewormDB, people might find it unappealing.
But won't their article be old in April, and get less viewership than the one some other author is holding back until day-of?
If we let companies race to the bottom leaving only a duopoly, then one of those companies mortally wounds themselves with flawed profit-margin-enhancing tech (787 MCAS, VW diesel, Galaxy battery fires, Deskstar HDDs) are we not at risk of entering a technological dark age?
My experience is the opposite. 100% of the Seagate drives I have purchased for personal use (total: 4) experienced failures within the warranty period, and of the drives I had a hand in purchasing professionally at least half needed replacement within the warranty period (~64).

I think Seagate is fine if you are willing to overbuild and deal with the refurb process within the warranty period. I'm not, and will not personally buy a Seagate product again unless their reputation improves (similar to what happened with IBM/HGST post-deathstar). It's not worth the time or aggravation, to me.
Thanks. That one's on me doing incomplete research.

Still leaves open the question as VM for obfuscation (RE tooling, ease of implementation from scratch) though.
If there's one party I'd be even less comfortable sharing my data with than Google, it would be a Russian company. Not because I think Russians are evil or anything, but rather because there's even less accountability and oversight (if any at all) with what they do with that data than we have in the US/Europe.
Why do you think Amazon purchased PillPack ;)

However, their little snafu with SureScripts and Remy Health just got them banned from accessing healthcare history - however there are pending FBI and FTC investigations regarding their mis-management of healthcare data. Worst case, the digital pharmacy Amazon just bought will be barred from sending or receiving digital prescriptions and their HIPAA accreditation will be voided for three years (with a fine).

Seems like a great way to waste a couple hundred million dollars.
You mean "large-scale", as in many computers?
Laugh-a while you can, monkey-boy.
This would definitely help, but the 75% number is just pulled out of the air.
It's also about how users should be aware of malware injecting themselves by use of an alias.
Once of the nicer features is that they offer an "encrypted password" where you login to quay and click the "generate encrypted password" option in your user preferences. Then instead of hardcoding your plaintext password into your docker config json, it puts the encrypted password that is only applicable to quay.

For those that use LDAP authentication for this, it makes is a much smaller attack vector.

The per-team "organizations" is very nice and allows you to give teams their own flexibility while still running things within your own firewalls (on-prem or in a vpc). It is an alternative to docker hub with a lot of really nice features.

The ability to do scheduled mirroring of images from other registries (such as docker hub) and replication between different instances of quay is also really beneficial.

That company name is listed on https://ccfs.sos.wa.gov/ (the record does not have a unique URL to link to, sorry). There is one officer listed, but it looks like the LLC was dissolved in 2016. I wonder if they're continuing operations anyway, or is somebody else spoofing their name somehow?
You didn't really describe a stack. Which is fine, because academic research usually doesn't really reuse code ;)

A proper ML stack is something like:

- Data format in X schema

- Model trained on Y library/platform

- Evaluated and tested using Z

- Serialized in A format

- Stored on cloud B

- Deployed using C

- Versioned using D

- Real-time monitoring using E
To me, the date in the blog is indication how relevant it is. So if you updated links and info in 2y blog to make it relevant again, I don't mind if the date would be today. But probably best would be to put 2 dates: original publish date, and date last modification/relevance.
Draw.io has the advantage of being open source and able to be self-hosted. I wouldn't trade that flexibility and security for anything.
Thyssenkrupp's elevator business gets at least 3 bidders: sources
From the abstract:
“Using structure generation methods, we explore nucleic acid analogues within the formula ranges BC3–7H5–15O2–4 and BC3–6H5–15N1–2O0–4, where B is a recognition element (e.g., a nucleobase). Other restrictions included two obligatory points of attachment for inclusion into a linear polymer and substructures predicting chemical stability. These sets contain 86,007 (CHO) and 75,309 (CHNO) compositionally isomeric structures, representing 706,568 CHO and 454,422 CHNO stereoisomers, that diversely and densely occupy this space.”

Damn, I was hoping for some non-carbon-based options :)

Okay, exhaust water from engines does not add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere in significant quantity to increase the rate of climate change - that happens naturally according to the temperature of the atmosphere. Not sure what I was thinking exactly when I wrote that.

However, there are other reasons not to use hydrogen powered IC engines instead of electric engines, like the efficiency of electric motors vs. IC engines, the need to transport hydrogen fuel in greater volume than gasoline for the same range and power, potential issues with corrosion due to immediate condensation, safety issues in cold climates with exhaust immediately freezing on road surfaces, and others.

If someone had a way to create liquid hydrogen with little energy, store it safely in a vehicle, and have an engine able to use it, that might change the game. Gaseous hydrogen, not so much.

Hydrogen fuel from seawater is a neat idea compared to gasoline, but the chances of wide deployment of hydrogen fuels being a significant contribution to saving ourselves from climate change are minimal, in my opinion.
Usually these window-Like TVs/lights are put in rooms without natural light, i.e. the basement or interior rooms in large buildings (like hotels).

However, the shown use case is completely weird. I see no reason for replacing a real window with a TV.
In many cases, I would say yes. A massive amount of ER visits are not needed for instance, and are more suitable for walk-ins and primary care. And just in my experience my Doctor will often push for various tests, which aren't needed. I've had multiple people tell me the same. Then I've gone to other doctors that wonder why such and such doctor did that other than just to gouge.
They have a separate cifs daemon vis à vis samba? Does it run on Linux? :)
> I stopped using IG & Twitter largely because it went from having relatively few ads to where I started seeing an ad nearly every other post.

The increase appears to be dramatic. I signed up for YouTube Premium long ago simply because I couldn't stand the occasional ad anymore. I recently was at a friend's, and I wanted to show him a particular cooking video that I liked, on his iPad. It was a 16-minute video and it was interrupted three times by an ad. mid-video. Unbearable.

The thing is, through Premium, I was actually looking forward to discovering new music with the YouTube Music app. Was I wrong. The recommendations are crap. They are repetitive to the point of nausea. I have a few hundred "liked" songs, but the recommendations are heavily skewed towards a few, mostly recently "liked" songs.

This has actually lead to me dreading marking a song as "liked", as it inevitably leads to this repetition and, much worse, to unending recommendations of the same artist's other songs, even if I "dislike" every. single. one. of. them.

I don't understand. The graphic included in that article shows the claim which is that Democrats have filed for impeachment for every Republican President. That's not a factual or accurate claim. If the claim was different then of course the result would be different. If anything, I think this favors the opposite of what you're saying since not only do they have varying degrees of truth (as opposed to simply saying "This is a lie") and they provide both a description of why they say it's "Mostly False" and sources for each claim.

It's not perfect but this doesn't seem like a good example of bias or "framing" like you claim.
Depends on the kind of instrumentation you're talking about. I think metrics should always be collected, and I love having software where reasonable logs are on by default, and unreasonable levels of logging can be enabled/disabled at runtime without toggling.
But this is also a word in common usage, and it already has a pronunciation: "key".

English is not a good place to go if you are looking for intuitive pronunciation.
Good article. Fire drills are worthy of mention. Simulate parts going down, practice recovery.
It may have been in reference to Singapore's results, per TFA:

> With Singapore’s citizenry empowered by deductible security and price tags, competition has worked its magic, forcing providers to constantly figure out ways to lower costs and improve quality. The result is not only 77% less spending than the United States but also, as Bloomberg Businessweek reports, one of the healthiest populations in the world.

Spot on. Websites will turn from bloated to extremely bloated. Shipping 5 MB of bytecode will help with:

* Obfuscating dark patterns e.g. aggressive fingerprinting
based on hardware, OS, cache contents, timing

* Breaking ad blockers

* Breaking tracking blockers like Privacy Badger

* Preventing uBlock Origin from removing annoying elements

* Preventing scraping

* Offering different prices for goods and services based on the hardware and software (as it happened before)
It depends on what you are looking for. I was having issues after an OS update and was looking for help, and ended up finding all sorts of out of date info for previous updates. Had to look for more recent posts.
If only there were some context I could provide that could illustrate my point. Like previous sentences, threads, or links at tops of pages...

What to do. What to do.
Most ERs would be well served by opening all-hour urgent care clinics directly adjacent, and triaging the roughly 70-80% of people with non-emergent and/or minor issues into that wing rather than to the ER.
I agree, I submitted the title as written by the author. I assume it was changed by the moderator and inadvertently got mis-titled.
Intel Warns of Critical Info-Disclosure Bug in Security Engine
Why would anyone use this? Does anyone trust it?
Exactly. "Come on... no one is stupid enough to eat a Tide Pod. It's laundry detergent!" Yet, here we are...
> My thinking is that this would serve a similar purpose to the trend for web browsers to warn users of insecure websites -- the more "in your face" the warnings are, the more incentive there is for providers to be secure.

Another thing I hate about the industry today: being hostile to the user and trying to force them to use their computer how you want them to use it.

> I've had friends / relatives experience drive failure a few time in the past, and the look of horror they have when there is very little I can do to help them recover their photos etc. is something that I hate seeing.

Then teach them about proper backups. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand "don't keep all your eggs in one basket". Or if you're going to implement some stupid forced user-hostile scheme at least use something that actually qualifies as a backup.

> And having the OS give a simple warning (that can be dismissed, with a "don't show me this any more" checkbox) would not over complicate things, and may end up saving some people's data.

Here's what will happen: the user will dismiss the dialog without even reading it. We have decades of experience showing us this. Users have learned that "warning" dialogs are meaningless precisely because of crap like this. Oh yeah, and they're super annoying.

> Really no different than the current warning that Windows has, when you don't have antivirus installed.

Exactly my point.
The ESTA site looks like it uses the US government's standard design system, and it has a .gov domain.

Identifying official US government websites is like the easiest thing on the internet -- the US is the only country in the world with their own TLD dedicated to government websites.

I can't think of a more 'legit' look than that, although I guess if you're not from the US you probably haven't visited US government websites very often and might not have much of a reference point.
So, is it alive? I had the impression joyent gave up on solaris/smartos - are there still any serious support from companies using Solaris in anger?
From the article

> Those behavioral changes resulted in 35% lower health-care spending than when the same employees were enrolled in traditional health insurance. Even better, the study found that employees enrolled in the deductible security plan were going in for mammograms, annual check ups, and other forms or preventive medicine at the same rate as when they were enrolled in traditional insurance. Thus, these cost savings are real and not due to people delaying necessary care in order to hoard their HSA balances.
Ubers ai won't even slow down when it sees a person in the road. A computer can prescribe a drug for me, but I can't prescribe a drug for me?

Can I please have my life back please?
Yes, that's been my experience too with the big business hotels.

I'm talking mainly about everything else that isn't a humongous chain, which is actually the vast majority of properties in most cities -- boutique hotels, small hotels, 4-unit guesthouses, generally with 15 rooms or fewer. (Just my personal preference as to where I like to stay.) The difference between "list" price and aggregator price can be enormous -- usually because I'm booking the last room. (The actual last room, not a fake one -- the property disappears from the listings after I do.)

And maybe it would be the "morally" right thing to do to contact them directly and get them to match the price, but it's not worth the hassle and risk to me -- being put on hold for 10 minutes, dealing with someone on the phone for whom English isn't often their first language (when traveling abroad), time zone differences when nobody's at the front desk, risking the room disappearing while waiting for an e-mail reply, and above all the chances of a date or price or other mix-up when transacted verbally.

If I do it through the aggregator, I lock in the room instantly, with instant e-mail confirmation that all the details are correct. Zero worries, zero mixups.

There is already a practical (but unsightly) solution to mosquitos - bug nets. There is nothing stopping people from wearing bug nets covering their entire body if they feel disease carrying mosquitos are a grave danger. It is irresponsible to waste the resources that treating mosquitos as the second biggest policy issue facing the world would require, and it could also cause serious consequences to the ecosystem if we get an eradication solution wrong.

You're right I seem to have misread. Good point about the factor ~9, but even then it doesn't look like we'll be draining the oceans dry any time soon.

Although it would be a problem of unimaginable scale to use it as the sole source of energy, which is bound to create some of its own problems, I just don't see any obvious ones.
By comparison to other search engines. Duckduckgo seems to give me better search results and is less influenced by advertisements and trends.

What finally pushed me away from Google was its incorrect assumption of equivalence between different terms. I'd search something like "printer scaling draftsight" and it would return results with "printer" "scaling" and "autocad" all in bold. Because autocad and draftsight are 2D CAD programs, and autocad is more popular, so suuurely that's what I wanted.
It's especially frustrating because they can withhold care if you don't get all of the unnecessary tests.
Yes, the team calls it kway.

However, when I worked at SUSE a running joke was: as long as you love using it we don't care how you pronounce it.
They started moving on from being a general purpose search engine years ago, when they started "knowing best". Round about the brand and recency updates, which must be 7 or 8 years ago, maybe more. No longer did you need to search "buy camera" rather than "camera" to show you wanted to spend money, it was now presumed. Your +term (broken with arrival of G+) or quoted "term" would be varied as much as optional terms.

Nearly all the changes since have been along those lines. Google thinks the only reason to use the net is to shop. The results you get, that are prioritised make some sense in that context.

It's just made it useless for all those times you don't want to book a hotel, buy a phone etc.
What I’ve always found amazing is how cheap dental and eye care is in comparison to other types of medical care. The fact that you can get laser surgery in your eyes for a couple of thousand dollars is incredible, given that a diagnostic test like an MRI can often cost that much. Clearly there is room for competition to reduce costs.

Clearly that doesn’t work for emergency services. But is there room to distinguish emergency from non-emergency services? I had surgery for a deviated septum. I don’t know what it cost, but if I had an incentive I could’ve price shopped for it. There are a lot of non-emergency procedures (colonoscopies, hip replacements, knee surgery, etc.) that could be subject to competition.

Also, the comparison to Singapore’s health outcomes is a bit odd:

> The result is not only 77% less spending than the United States but also, as Bloomberg Businessweek reports, one of the healthiest populations in the world.

Fun fact: Life expectancy for Asians in the US is 86 years (almost 90 in New Jersey!), quite a bit longer than the 82 years in Singapore.
