Any large organization that doesn't, at a bare minimum, implement NSA's Top Ten Cybersecurity Mitigation Strategies[1], ASD's Essential Eight[2], etc. is grossly negligent; and an insurance carrier willing to write a policy not conditional on implementing those strategies is equally negligent. The insurance carriers in this case could very well be attempting to deny payment under the acts-of-war exclusion because they're too incompetent or greedy to correctly write a cybersecurity policy.

A huge number of people work very hard for much less than middle class Westerners have. They would all get more than they have now. I suspect that would lead to better global productivity even with the loss of your input.
It depends on what model they're using. If they're just using the Poincare disk (as is displayed) then translations/rotations/reflections- isometries- of the hyperbolic plane are modeled by the Mobius transformations that map the unit circle (the edge) to itself. Geometrically speaking, Mobius
transformations in the plane are 1) ordinary reflection, translation, and scaling, and 2) circle inversions, and form a group. Translations of the poincare disk are compositions of two circle inversions that end up mapping the center of the circle to some other point inside the disk, and map the disk to itself.

This doesn't really get into transformations, but here's one explication of a hyperbolic tiling I wrote:

IIRC one of the main problems of EUV litography is generation of beams with sufficiently high power. EUV is not X-ray but very close to it.
Your units don't add up: W = J/s -> W*s = J. What you calculated was 10^(-7) J, not W.
This is why I've been finding the splits/differences with Electric Cannonball Runs fascinating. EVs have the added planning skill needed of requiring charging stops (and the related benefit that some "record breaks" over the years are just the addition of a charging stop in the right place). But also, Electric runners seem to have settled a lot more on sticking to posted speed limits, as a gentleman's rule to the game, in part because more EVs make the speed limits clear in GPS displays and in part because some assisted-driving has also infiltrated the EV records. (A lot of drivers using Tesla's cruise control tech.) But also mostly just because there is so much skill and planning in the recharge stops game that speeding isn't necessary for the fun of the sport / ability to break records, because there's plenty of other things to do.

I'm not sure that it will last much longer that Electric Cannonball Runs will focus more on speed limit following, but I hope that it does. It's a better sport that way that it is more "gentlemanly".

There is also server-side Blazor which doesn't use WASM components but instead uses SignalR to do client/server communication. Both are compatible with the same code base (and components). Server-side Blazor still has overhead but it's different from having to send the .NET libraries over the network.
Dataiku Partners with CapitalG and Becomes a Unicorn
That wouldn't be a surprise; rewriting is.
Attended a Blazor session at MS Build in May. My impression was, Blazor seems like a super cool tool that I will never be able to justify in production. For one, the performance is poor right now. Your options are either to use Signal to send every action over the network, or to deliver the entire .NET libraries along with the page. The size of that download is both impressively small (given the volume of code you're transferring), and also still way too large for me to feel comfortable foisting that on users.

Additionally, it requires that your front-end team feels comfortable working in .NET technologies. Ours certainly doesn't, and it would be very hard to sell my director on anything that doesn't maintain the traditional backend/frontend split.
Is Ring the scariest surveillance company here, or is it Amazon?

Ring:

- company bought by Amazon

Amazon:
- tracks you online

- tracks you and records you in your home

- has contracts with the CIA and the police

- sells facial recognition and other surveillance technologies to law enforcement

- buys Ring, a rising video surveillance company ... "and you'll never guess what happened next!"
so that means i can sign a page on the editor's computer, take it with me and serve it to amp from my website? that sounds even more dangerous tbh. it delegates security from people who may know a little bit about it (web hosts) to people who likely know nothing about it (writers)

> The part that really pisses me off is the "10 strikes and we wipe your phone bit". That happened to me too on an infrequently used iphone last year.

Socialism gained only after World War I disrupted incumbent powers and wealth. World Wars I and II really need to be considered as a unit. War continued into the '20s in Eastern Europe and then resumes in 1936 in Spain. See "War of the World" by Niall Ferguson.

Socialism was not that strong before WW I destroyed the power structures of the German, Russian, Austro-Hungarian, and Ottoman Empires. The resumption of war in World War II destroyed the Japanese and Chinese Empires and enervated the British and French sufficiently that the British and French Empires dissolved after the war.
"but I can't explain why."

Well, if nothing else, time is finite. If I simply read a list of every political or plausible political issue that could affect you, I could easily make it detailed enough to take hours. How much have you donated to cure https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Rare_diseases ? Don't you care about all of those people? What's your opinion of all the bills currently making their way through your city council? Don't you care enough to make time to find out and have an opinion and take appropriate political action? Every charity in your state or country you're not donating to, well, clearly if you're not for them you're against them.

That attitude just doesn't scale. Inaction shouldn't be read as opposition or lack of concern. We all have a list of thousands of concerns and only enough energy to invest in a couple dozen or so, and we've got other constraints on what those can be too if we're not trust-fund babies.

That asylum seekers used to be released prior to their hearing, and are no longer? It's official policy https://www.politico.com/story/2019/04/16/doj-bonds-asylum-s... . If you don't trust politico, they link to AG Barr's memo, which states: "The question presented is whether aliens who are originally placed in expedited proceedings and then transferred to full proceedings after establishing a credible fear become eligible for bond upon transfer. I conclude that such aliens remain ineligible for bond, whether they are arriving at the border or are apprehended in the United States"

There's also the issue of parole: releasing asylum seekers if they were initially approved for asylum by the court but the government is appealing the decision. In Damus v. McAleenan. In the recent decision (https://www.courthousenews.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/as... ) the Judge notes that, while parole was granted in over 90% of these cases in 2016, parole hasn't been granted for a single such case in all of 2019.
of what the developer who broke the build

This is vicious slander. Would the developer who merely broke the build get to write an entirely new system resolver implementation in C++ from scratch, get it into a major OS release and thus break stuff for zillions of users until the whole thing has to be rolled back, never to be seen again? I think not.

mmm. Maybe. I can't say what you'd like, and I never had to use a keypunch, but I did start my career in the Age of the EPROM. I hated having to code, code no worky, unplug EPROM from circuit board, take erased EPROM from eraser and insert into programmer while putting used EPROM into eraser and pressing "ERASE;" taking programmed EPROM and plugging it into ZIF/LIF socket to start the debugging process again.

And that was an order of magnitude faster than using punch cards.

As soon as EPROM Emulators came on the scene I lobbied for us to buy one. $200 very well spent.

If you want to torment yourself and build a Z-80 computer, I have a tube or so of Z-80 CPUs, some EPROMS, a couple tubes of SRAMS and the relevant books. All yours for the price of shipping.

Sorry, I threw out the eraser about 20 years ago!
The buyer, yes. But now they can't even spin this as strategic or synergetic. It's obvious and public that it hasn't been a commercial success yet. Granted, that's usually overstated and I don't think it makes much of a difference to most people. But it's something.

But hey - we all got an interesting read out of it.
FOMO has always been present.

What's changed is that debt is almost free. That allows VCs to take (very!) speculative bets for relatively low risk. They know that if each of their portfolio companies has a 10% chance to reach 30x returns, investing in 10 companies should pay off.
Thank you for the link. If this is the most horrible act, I guess I remain unconvinced that there's any fire here. I'm not sure I even understand why detaining is inappropriate.
There's an entire chapter in Arnold's Liquid Intelligence dedicated to his quest to perfect the G&T. It's an amazing book, highly, highly recommended.

Spoiler for the mere-mortal version: store your gin in the freezer, use a fresh bottle of tonic water stored on ice, serve in a highball glass (you're not well equipped enough to do his champagne flute version), 1 3/4 oz gin to 3 1/4 tonic --- measure the tonic by first measuring 5 oz of plain water into the glass, noting the water level, and free-pouring the tonic to that same level (jiggering the tonic loses too much carbonation).
> It unquestionably bad for Github.

Is it?

Are there not people that will prefer to do business with companies that don't engage with such despicable entities? Are there not companies that specifically want to do business with those who engage such despicable entities? (Hint: there are several funds and private equity groups that do just that.)

However, Github's current actions certainly give me pause as to whether I should continue doing business with them--especially for $50,000. Really. $50,000. That's a price to be celebrated with an entity that kills children?

Yeah, I think I avoiding github just jumped up my priority list--a lot.
We have finally reached a point where the reality of things presents itself to people in tech.

The idea of fair or unbiased does not exist. Politics is at its core, about moving peoples hearts, not brains and getting your voice out there. Manipulating gullible people might as well be the first class in politics 101.

Google and Facebook, in this case, are not more than tools, the new warfront for the same old war. It has existed before them and will exist after.

Once your organization is big enough, all light will be on you and everyone will look to get their tirade in. It is all but guaranteed.
Thats great and all, but also not queue theory.
The very specific claim by the OP was that women have more difficulty understanding pointers, classes, closures, etc, and therefore are lower represented in tech.

You will never see that stated as a claim. It appears as a guess, as a suspicion, and at multiple points I was at pains to point out that I have no evidence for it. It certainly is not a claim.

That said, men are way overrepresented in programming. It doesn't matter whether you look at CS departments of self-taught programmers, they are overwhelmingly (though not all) men. I am arguing that this fact is not in itself proof of discrimination.

Of the claims that I have made, one is that in my anecdotal experience I personally witnessed a lot of people in the early days of the web start in the same role, but the ones who followed a track to "programmer" were overwhelmingly men. When I personally asked women who both had and hadn't taken that path, they told me that discrimination was not a factor in their decisions. Actual responses, "You guys never pushed me away from programming, but I want to make things pretty." "Sure, there have been a few jackasses, but there are jackasses everywhere. Most of you are very welcoming as long as I can do the job."

Again, my personal experiences are anecdote, not data. YMMV and all that. But experiences like these are part of why I don't believe that the skewed ratios are the result of discrimination, no matter how many essays I read claiming otherwise. (Essays whose only real data point seems to be the fact that there is a gender ratio.)
WeWork Story Headed for the Silver Screen
The only question that matters in this argument is whether a corporation's freedom to do business is worth more than stopping the action you consider immoral.

Your attempts at refutation are all general and fail to address the critical equation.
This is very real. A friend of mine started a company with over a million in seed funding with what basically amounts to just an idea. Years later, the company isn't doing that well in terms of sales/revenue, but they still manage to raise money because they have a couple obvious acquisition targets. It seems crazy to me to throw millions of dollars at a company with the hopes that one of maybe three or four megacorps in the industry will acquire them, but investors buy into that, and that's all that matters.
Have you ever thought of targeting by size?

As a tall person dressing and fashion in general SUCK! Online has made it easier but selection is still limited and cost is outrageous.
I’m not sure you understand the purpose of https. Ensuring integrity of the document served by the server is only one small piece of it.

The other critical components are:

encryption so middleboxes can’t see what you’re looking at

guarantee (via the PKI) that the server you’re about to send your banking credentials to is using a cert that belongs to the domain name in the address bar that you trust sending your credentials to.
The uniform distribution ("flat") prior lets you interpret a maximum likelihood result as a maximum-a-posteriori (MAP) Bayesian point-estimate (implying a 0-or-1 loss function). One could argue that if you refrain from doing this and just stick to a literal application of the likelihood principle, you're not really depending on a flat prior.

For that matter, what is a "flat" prior over the parameters also depends on what parameterization you're using. Results that are 'intuitive' under one parameterization may not be under a different one.
Yes, because I think that is a pretty accurate way to measure how much I would hate to go to that page, and it doesn't require AMP to work.

It's not. Tap on the caret and the menu will show up without selecting anything.
In robotics, particularly in bayesian filtering (KFs and so on), I find the idea of a "prior" solid and I don't see any frequentist alternatives. Your prior is easy to understand: whatever your posterior for your state was at the previous timestep, updated using the actions you wanted your robot to accomplish. Inference is then refining this prior using the observation that the robot makes.

There's nothing hand-wavy about that; if you do bayesian statistics with bad priors of course you're going to get bad inference. I guess the author just warns about being careful about your assumption which is always good.
Can anyone vouch for the stats books? I took stats in undergrad but I do need a refresher if I want to do any real data science.

15 books is a big commitment, but I’ve really been enjoying Fluent Python as I’m trying to go from beginner to intermediate knowledge.

Full disclosure: I am the author of the Wikipedia essay "Wikipedia has cancer". See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Guy_Macon/Wikipedia_has_C...

I don't think I have ever hinted that Wikipedia is spending too much on servers. I consider that part of Wikipedia to pretty much be the best managed part, and everything they do increases reliability, helps with disaster recovery, or makes the site faster. I even said "It costs a certain amount to have reliable servers, run a good legal team, maintain the core software, etc. But none of the things that the WMF needs to do require ever-expanding spending."

In my opinion, spending 1,250 times as much to do basically the same job is all the evidence you need. I wouldn't squawk at 5 or 10 times as much, but 1,250 times as much? At that point the burden of proof is on the person who claims that such a huge increase in spending was necessary.
> Maybe I'm being naïve here, but isn't it kind of crazy to raise 3.5M in funds for a business that has no plan but to be acquired by someone else?

That's pretty common, and is basically what seed funding is. The paradox behind markets and investment is that logically speaking, if a potential company has a profitable business model, that company should already exist. After all, with millions of potential entrepreneurs across the globe and trillions in funding chasing them, the chance that an obviously profitable business model hasn't already been dreamed up and implemented by an entrepreneur is basically nil.

So what investors and entrepreneurs do is they agree to take on risk with their capital, for the potential of great reward if it turns out they can come up with a better way of doing things that isn't already being done. The only way to do this is to explore virgin territory: do things that seem plausible but haven't currently been tried by existing companies, and then see if you can create a profitable business model with the results. There's a good chance that you can't, in which case okay, it was an experiment, you spent $3.5M to learn something that had the shot of being worth billions.

Considering it hit the company by accident via a server in Ukraine the whole act of war thing is really questionable.

It’s completely reckless use of malware and there should be consequences for Russia not taking care of their offensive weapons and causing serious damage.

But phrases like “act of war” shouldn’t be thrown around like that. I highly doubt that was Russia’s intention, which I think should matter, even if we still find them at fault.
What I think he meant is that, most of the news website became slow and bad user experiences on mobile, pushing users to download wall-gardened native mobile news apps by established News Corporations to experience something fast and kind of pleasant.
This is a problem for Google and for "freedom of speech", because you're not googling for news anymore, you go straight to your established news native application, preventing you to see other competing results (like blogs or smaller news websites for instance)

Pushing them to have cleaner and faster websites makes the user stay on the web. It is a clear benefit for Google, but to his point, to the user too. (At least that was the goal)
