To interpret words, as a judge does, is inherently biased.

Just because two people disagree on an interpretation of law does not mean they are not applying that law in good faith - we all have worldviews and beliefs that naturally color our understanding of reality - which includes our understanding of laws.

We attempt to write laws clearly to avoid personal interpretation, but it's impossible to avoid all interpretation. Thus we appoint wise judges to do so for society. Even wise judges have unique worldviews.
According to The Toyota Way, Toyota's first manufacturing plants in the US were built to work around the "chicken tax". The US imposed a tariff on imported light trucks to retaliate against French and West German tariffs on imported chickens. As a loophole, imported pickup trucks could be imported as "passenger vehicles" with the truck bed/box bolted on in an American finishing plant. Eventually the loophole was closed but Toyota, having built American manufacturing plants and trained a skilled workforce in the Toyota Production System, decided to keep using it anyway.

Custom Unreal Engine simulator, simulating agents with NVidia Physx and publishing sensors through GStreamer. GStreamer has sinks and sources for ROS, and tensorflow elements for inferencing. We package this all into NVidia Docker for scalable simulations. Setup is similar for training and inference. The core framework is a streaming engine with stream combinators that enable reasoning about spatio-temporal data streams. Where each datum is related to a point in space and time. The goal is for tensors to be the streaming primitives, but the pipeline is still fragile, it’s a challenge to keep all this working with so many core technologies changing constantly (UE4 + Physx + Cuda + CuDNN + Tensorflow + …). We train robots in simulation.

Most of our tools are built in Rust. Several of those are for creating(cleaning) data streams out of datasets. They are converted into tensors or ROS messages.

Bruce Schneier had a series of blog posts on that subject, as part of a debate with Sam Harris. Pursuing a strategy that discounts the effects of false negatives leads to whole categories of failures in identifying risks. It's analogous to debates about medical screening - by narrowly focusing on detection, we discount the negative effects of over testing, which can lead to perverse outcomes where we hurt patients more than we help.

I think Lasik is an outlier example. I couldn't find out how much of the population is a good candidate for Lasik, but 61% need corrective eyewear. The process is basically a commodity, it's almost exclusively a quality of life elective procedure, and it's basically a one-shot deal (I know people who traveled for it).

I completely agree emergency care is one thing insurance is for, but I think more generally it's "catastrophic costs" which often includes ongoing things. A lot of issues require follow up costs (I've heard insurances are switching from itemized costs to a fixed cost for the whole procedure. Similarly, I see a lot more "continuity of care" in healthcare).

As an example, let's say someone had vision loss for a couple minutes. An emergency room visit finds them to be ok in the immediate term, but it was because of a blockage in the heart causing a minor stroke. Which means there's a lot of follow up, with large costs. How do you best incentivize this? It's not "emergency care," there is time to research cost, but putting the cost burden on the patient is more than they can handle (hence insurance). Insurance tries to use cost signals like co-pays. An ongoing cost like dialysis will be optimized around convenience if you don't expose the cost, but exposing the cost may bankrupt them.

I think tying healthcare to employment and pushing it as a benefit is the worst offender for the skewing of the market--masking the cost of routine care. Fixing that alone would make me much happier (I also think it would be an economic benefit because of people tied to their jobs and the drag on starting a small business).
Rule 68 isn't where the 5x cost figure comes from. The 5x figure was simply chosen by this particular defendant as their guess for what would be safely above what the plaintiff was likely to be able to win.

Good article. I would add one thing to this - pick a database that scales horizontally and is distributed. CockroachDB, Elasticsearch, Mongo, Cassandra/Scylla are all good choices. If you lose one node, you don't have to be afraid of your cluster going down, meaning you can do maintenance and reconfiguration without downtime. If your load is low or bursty you can even get away with running these on some small servers such as t3 (probably minimally t3.larges). Running a cloud managed database is also a good option.
So to clarify, so long as one has plausible deniability in spreading political opinion, there is a punishable offense for asking for clarification (as i have done in this ggp, your gp comment) as a means to get to the meat of the root claim?

When I was in grad school our department had a meeting every morning where we could get together to discuss the latest papers which we called "Morning Coffee" (or also Astro Coffee). These discussions were pretty fruitful and regularly would inspire new papers.

After writing a new paper based on one of these discussions one of the professors decided to commemorate the contribution of Morning Coffee to the paper and added "M. Coffee" as an author. At some point word got out that M. Coffee was not a real person. From what I understand the journal got very upset. Nevertheless, the original author list still stands:

We use self deployable configuration to allow Data Scientist to control the model's destiny.

Models are written in Python (mix of pytorch/NLP/tensorF).
The Models are serving about 35 predictions/second on avg.
The API server written in the Python. API server container feeds or write the requests in the distributed queue cluster.
The models picks up the samples from the queue in batching.
It allows to experiment the models (different flavor) based on the routing being set during the deployment time and which in turns being set in the cache.
We use AWS managed cache, queuing and container orchestration platform.
Next:
1)Current pipeline for the training and production is two separate pipeline which we want to combined, possibly use MLFlow, Airflow or KubeFlow.
Deployment to the production is done through Jenkins.
2)Active retraining and auto deployment to production.
3)Tie the version of model in production to model being trained. There is no way for us to tie back the version.

I love these articles - I'd also love an update to the cost curves: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-cost-per-gigabyte/ (2017)

App, Web, IoT device send realtime events to a fluentd system with many events going to Segment. Web front end also loads Segment for various ad trackers. IoT device also uploads telemetry and other logs in both realtime and asynchronously and those end up in some Postgres databases.

Segment syncs our event data periodically to our data warehouse (Redshift).

We have a readonly replica of the eCommerce DB for live stats (Postgres).

And there is a time series db for system/IoT telemetry (InfluxDB).

Most of our BI queries are done in Mode. Some are done in Grafana (data in our InfluxDB and some live data). Spot check against Google Analytics or FB ad tracker...
> If your system is extremely simple this may not be worth it. But you could say that about anything in the article, really.

I don't know. The level of complexity this introduces seems to be way higher than anything in the original article.

E.g. for placing something in cart, its not only the next page that is reliant upon it, but anything that deals with the cart - things like checkout, removing from cart, updating quantities, etc. Adding to cart has to be mindful of queued checkout attempts. And vice versa. It sounds way messier than the comparatively isolated concepts such as CI, DI, and zero downtime deploys.

Async communication certainly seems desirable across subsystems that are only loosely connected. E.g. shopping, admin, warehouse, accounting, and reporting subsystems. But by using asynchronous comms you're actually introducing more state into your application than synchronous comms. State you should be testing - both in unit & integration tests (somewhat easy) and full end-to-end tests (much more expensive).

I'm sure Amazon has all sorts of complexities that are required at their scale. But you can heavily benefit from the techniques in the OP even if you aren't Amazon scale.

This. I've seen so many ass-backwards approaches to the liability boogeyman where companies opened themselves to much greater liability issues because they were afraid of liability. Things like insisting on using a padlock to lock an emergency exit from the outdoor patio of a pool each night even though it could only be opened from the inside if someone already jumped the fence to get in. Staff would then routinely fail to unlock the exit, but they were afraid of some convoluted scenario in which someone would jump the fence to let other people in who wouldn't otherwise just jump the fence, and then drown in the hot tub or something.

There are more and more services where you can pay in Bitcoin actually, and it works, although it's still very hard to use and the support is half-baked. Lightning network is not supported enough though, it needs more time.

Interesting.

Here's how it went when I tried to do it upfront. My wife was pregnant, so we had 9 months of routine, scheduled visits. I asked "how much will this cost ignoring any unexpected costs." My insurance had a helpful PDF showing $650 as an out of pocket example with an asterisk saying not to use this number for reference. Reading up, some places offer a "package deal"--our's didn't. I was told to call the doctor's office and write down their itemized list of procedures. Then call their billing office to get an itemized list of billing codes. Then call my insurance to get the out of pocket cost. The final cost was a few multiples of that cited value (although there were additional, unexpected costs).

Also, if they were to divorce, given she's not working and he's a famous partner at a profitable company, his earning power is significantly higher than hers. It's not unreasonable to set his limit higher based on that.
Your argument is ”Corporate/Govt Sponsors, Kickstarter, and Patreon exist”. That’s fine and all, but they have their own problems.

A one-time funding model like sponsorship/grants and Kickstarter is fundamentally un-meritocratic. Money is given to promises of quality or broad appeal, not the actual attainment of it.

Patreon/subscription presupposes either a serial format or long-term commitment to producing many works. Attempting to use periodic small donations to fund a single long-form / high-labor work adds a burden on the creator to maintain a circus of “progress updates” and unrelated “rewards” to make the petty donorati feel adequately compensated for their “generosity”.
