The cynical side of me: accurate reporting isn’t profitable because there is very little demand for accurate reporting from the general public.

People want to read/watch news they want to believe or agree with, and instinctively they shun away from facts that causes cognitive dissonance with them. What they want is to believe their preferred news sources are objective, but they will do everything they can to avoid doing actual due diligence to verify that objectivity.

That’s why if we leave it to purely market economy, completely objective, facts based journalism will never be as profitable as sensationalism based stuff you see these days.
Executives do normally schedule selling stock ahead of time. If no investigation is happening, that might be one obvious explanation.
I don't see how this kind of DNA test result is useful. It won't help you get citizenship of another country, or affect any of the cultural attributes you acquired while growing up (such as language and attitudes to science and religion). DNA has nothing to do with culture.

Are people supposed to suddenly take an interest in some place that they've previously ignored, just because they have some DNA that's commonly found in that location?
How do we turn ‘should be’ into reality?

From a tech perspective I feel like issues like this should have a public canonical ID. That would help regulators and reporters alike deliver information in a more clear, cost effective and accountable manner, disambiguation by default. Interested and affected parties could subscribe to updates on that key across the web.
I have read of Dementia having “sun downing” issues as patients get worse symptoms around dusk, and care homes having good results by brighter daytime lights and working on day/night rhythms.

Prof. Satchin Panda’s work is on intermittent fasting and circadian rhythms, and in his TED talk he has dementia on a slide as one of the possible problems involved with this kind of metabolic dysregulation.

Now this memory recall depending on circadian rhythm;
This worries me too - a lot. So much so that I'm working on a video series documenting the creation of a personal photo & video storage system from scratch. My belief is that one way to extricate our data from big tech's catacombs is to spread more widely the skills needed to build out personal data stores.

I'm starting with photos & videos because my own collection is trapped in Flickr, and it may not be long for this world. I intend to build out such a system and publish instructional videos on how to do it as I go along.

Imagine a world in which more or less everyone can do this. It's not such a long shot, don't you think?
I dislike the popups asking if I want notifications, I never allow them. Stop that now please!
True.

And a good tautology like this one can at least help people realize the difficulties in distinguishing merit from success.

Which puts it up a step from overconfident generalizations.
To be fair, one guy sold his stock because it seemed like people were acting really fishy and not telling him anything, and he put 2 and 2 together. So no one explicitly told him insider information, but he is still being charged.

If I worked at Amazon and saw Jeff Bezos in a meeting room going ballistic on the lead security engineer, would I be insider trading if I shorted amazon stock?
Stuttery mess on Chrome on Android as well.
Isn't the airy disk the right PSF to use here?
It's sophomoric at best even in 2008. The quote itself and the fact that the book itself is called the "Little Red Book". It's almost a straight up comic irony.

In one case, the government doesn't actually know all the people who were there. In the other case, the government knows all the people who were there and everywhere else.
This is also done in the signal processors that power these systems. I don't know this system in particular, but the USN has been moving towards commodity computing hardware for these systems. Essentially, a rack of commercial servers (usually IBM) running stripped-down RHEL with a real-time kernel. The software for these systems is firm real-time, and generally uses the same principals as other real-time software (including, but not limited to, up-front allocation).
This seems like it is how (non-ironic) flat earthers come to be.
Yes actually. That's literally insider information.
> How would it get made illegal since since even the US public & Congress was getting bad information about what was going on?

In Snowden's case, there was nothing that should be made illegal or else it would have been made illegal after the leaks.

If Snowden had just leaked the one illegal program instead of lists of compromised Chinese systems and a bunch of other things that will never be illegal, he would be a whistleblower instead of a fugitive criminal.
Investors who sell to a buyback deploy the money elsewhere, including new issues and private investment, which leads to hiring.
> If I worked at Amazon and saw Jeff Bezos in a meeting room going ballistic on the lead security engineer, would I be insider trading if I shorted amazon stock?

Yes, for sure. You'd still be acting on non-public information (the fact that he went ballistic on the head of security).

If you leaked that meeting to the press first, then maybe you'd be in the clear on insider trading (but you'd be in deep water for the leak!).

Because the point of the settlement, in theory, is A) for Equifax to be sufficiently disincentivized from being careless again B) restitution for victims. In my opinion as a victim, amount of the settlement (paid to lawyers or otherwise) is too small to accomplish A, and the amount paid to lawyers, if redirected to victims, is still too small to accomplish B. These are the only things that feel relevant to compare the amount to.

If the two sides negotiated a settlement that involved a serious change of business practices at Equifax, a significant payout to meaningfully compensate victims, and a chocolate cake for every retired librarian in Tallahassee, I'd be slightly confused but I would be unequivocally happier with that settlement than the current one. While you could probably save a bit of money on the chocolate cakes, it would be much smaller than any of the other amounts in the case, and saving that money wouldn't have any real impact on the settlement actually doing what it needed to do.
Accessibility Tools for Designers and Developers
Yes. All that aggressively postured success creates feelings of alienation, not only from your friends but the whole society. The people doing it don't understand how it looks on the outside. To rediscover the joy of people, I had to leave those places they built.
The ideas that survive are the ones that reproduce themselves by being copied from one mind or other storage facility to another.

Where it all goes wrong is that it is very expensive to test an idea and determine whether it is good, whereas an idea that is very attractive to repeat and copy without testing is much fitter and the more it resists testing the better it is.

This is why the whole framework for protecting IP is broken as well - we incentivize coming up with ideas, but ideas are worthless - it's evaluating and testing ideas that is valuable.
I agree, that is why I asked the question. Has there been real research done to determine who the most active deep users of the platform are. Im not judging people that do or dont use it, for any reason, just curious about the efficacy of these fake users trying to shape a platform for an election (I assume that is what the fraudulent accounts are for).
Maybe I'm missing something but if your boxes have public IPs and no firewall rules, why do you need a bastion? What's stopping any random person from connecting?
I was not talking about the turing completeness of constexpr.

There are only a few contexts in which constexpr functions are guaranteed to be evaluated at compile-time. This contrasts Jai's compile time only functions.

Additionally, Jai can perform arbitrary IO at compile-time which is simply not possible with c++. One of the early demos had a program which played a videogame at compile-time.
Journalists were lied to and have very little means of independent investigation. The "fake news" here was actually the lie pandered by the White House. The fact that the House and Senate went a long with it is concerning but I imagine you only have to get the House and Senate intelligence committees onboard to get the rest of them to tag along.
Content Creation and Traffic Generation Made-Easy
How much of their expenses are payroll, and in particular, executive payroll?
There are arguably two competing directives, one is too get the most revenue per disutility generated, in which case the flat tax is definitely not desirable. But another is fairness, it seems unfair to only make certain people suffer disutility, this logic is commonly accepted when discussing minority rights. So maybe the flat tax is minority rights for the rich? And what societies try to find a middle ground between the two goals?
I think guillotines would help motivate more meaningful regulation. They're why we have this whole rule of law thing in the first place. If the plutocrats get too far out of line, they maybe need to be reminded of the alternative.
None of the above. I found a local darkroom and a group of likeminded photographers with whom I have regular critique sessions. I don’t find online critique to be useful for the directions in which I’ve been taking my work over the past couple years.

More casual stuff gets posted on IG.
You'd be amazed at who built this system. I suspect it's easy enough to find out, but I won't throw it out there in case.

I was one of the very early maintenance techs on the system in the 90s. No one with even a foggy understanding of HMI has ever been allowed to touch its design. The issues called out in the article barely scratch the surface.
All the controls would be inactive except for one "take control" button, which when pressed activates all the other controls and disables itself and the controls at the other stations.
Well real people can be fake as well.

This is actually a good thing. The more lawyers get to suckle at the teat of class actions, the more class actions they will file, which will have a deterrent effect on corporate malfeasance even if there is no restitution to the victims.
because the modern web is expensive to host, and now features real journalist whom - and i know this is shocking - have to pay their own rent AND food for their children. Unlike the internet of lore, they can no longer build the internet from their mothers basement in their dirty sox and tighty whities.

And unfortunately, users just haven't come to terms with this reality, so we don't pay for content unless we are nagged into oblivion. I hate to blame the "victim" here, but in reality, no pay-pay, no play-play.
As I understand it - incoming connections on all ports are blocked?

ed: Sorry, I see. No firewall rules means by default that outgoing connections are allowed, but no incoming ones.
The point wasn't for me to get a lot of money. The point was for Equifax to lose money.

Look, I'll badmouth lawyers as much as the next person, but anyone who wants to claim class actions are a mistake needs to come up with a better system before they trash this one. There are so few avenues for consumers to hold companies accountable right now. They just don't exist. And thanks to arbitration and class action bans in EULAs, even the few avenues we do have are getting gradually eroded.

So first make regulatory penalties stricter, first set up real consequences for CEOs and boards. Then we can talk about revising class actions. I'm not satisfied with someone saying, "theoretically this could be better." Make the alternative systems better first, and then we'll talk about throwing away what we currently have. Like, holy crap, how short sighted can CNBC be? There are no working alternatives in the US to class actions right now.

The tragedy isn't that the lawyers took 20% of 380 million dollars. The tragedy is that it was only 380 million dollars. I'd happily trade another 25-50% on top of the current lawyer take if they had gotten that total up to 750 million, or even a billion.

Credit monitoring, * offered by Equifax *, should not be legitimate restitution.

It’s like Apple’s MacBooks blowing up and a judge ruling Apple can give iCloud storage as compensation.
In the 1850's it was widely believed that the invention of the telegraph would bring about world peace.

The problem is language itself. We trust it way too much to convey meaning, and truth. But it's just a delusion, or a mirage, in much the same way that the search for artificial intelligence is. In fact, I would say that language itself is the first AI invented.
This may be important and may be not. Numerous governments already do that: require everyone to disclose their [e-]life and punish for what they had to say. But if you do that in US or EU, will they turn into such oppressing states? Is total control a cause or an effect, or both?
That's far from how I would describe myself, but go ahead, thoughts are free.
This is actually going to be my next project, now that we’ve shipped Octane there’s a lot of code that we can slowly start to move away from! The plan is to move toward optional features and then deprecations for many of the classic features, allowing Octane users to opt-in to the benefits progressively, while still supporting Classic users for some time as they transition.

Definitely curious how you got these numbers though. Our current estimate of Ember’s size is ~160kb after min/gzip, and Ember Data (the only other large library installed by default) should be less than that. Jquery should not be included by default anymore, which would be a large chunk. Were you building a production build? `ember build —env=production`? That will cut out a significant chunk of debug code and assertions that are only used for development builds as well.
Not necessarily only US stocks but printed money have to go somewhere and they will be printed as the only pacific way to nullify previous debt.
> Has Apple ever made a technical change to iOS that made it less secure in response to a government request?

Yes. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/chinese-censo...
> It turned out that the money set aside in the roughly $380 million restitution fund specifically for cash compensation was capped at $31 million

I can't parse this, how can a $380m fund be capped at $31m, isn't that a $31m fund?
I'm currently using osLogin, but wondering if there's a good way to connect to private github repos from each VM. I think ssh keys are the answer for that, but I have no idea! Thanks to both of you for the info - I'll read up on all this stuff!!!
Database-backed debugging is great! It means that debugging can be done as a data science exercise, which is very useful when, for example, a rare confluence of external factors make the program behave badly.

Earlier examples: "Debugging in the (very) large", which describes how Microsoft used Windows telemetry, especially for debugging weird slow-down glitches. In the networking domain, where there is AppDynamics for trying to debug the interactions between network and distributed services.

I'd love to see data-science style debugging much more accessible (especially in Python). And it's great to see that you're making a serious effort to get the user experience right -- though I hope that the underlying data will also be accessible from more capable data science platforms.

Math grad student lecturer of various university entry level to intermediate mathematics courses at UF and ASU here. Over 30 years ago, but the following anecdotage is still vivid in my mind:

I taught many hundreds of students quite a variety of courses ranging from 'Finite Math', entry level algebra, all the way up to honors calc and linear algebra. Unique among all the courses, 'Finite Math' was so entirely abstract I, the math grad student, could not understand the point of the exercises.

I only taught it once, but after two weeks the coursework was so incoherent I stated in class that I would teach them exactly how to solve the problems, and if they learned that, they'd pass (all they cared about). I explicitly stated I wouldn't try to teach them anything at all about why any of it was relevant to their external problems.

Exactly the opposite of my approach to every other course, all without fail entirely satisfying to teach. I loved teaching college math! I'd do it again for very little, but the absurd adjunct rates are strongly discouraging.

That is, I'd teach anything but these ridiculous stand ins for math courses like 'Finite Math'.

OTOH, there's a deep beauty in real math starting with calculus and I dunno I find it calming and even though abstract and not really applicable to the external world these days it might be useful for some prisoners' mental health. There are a lot of stories of the prison library opening up some otherwise hopeless cases.
Yeah, both Rust and Go also use the method syntax to provide dynamic dispatch, and it's simpler for them since this dispatch is chosen (presumably vtable style) based on the privileged first operand.

However, I think using methods to provide infix syntax is a real mistake. For instance, if I want to make an infix operator which allows me to subtract mytype and yourtype, I can do the following:

mytype - yourtype; // mytype.sub(yourtype)

However, the opposite requires me to add methods to yourtype:

yourtype - mytype; // yourtype.sub(mytype)

Python gets around this by having 'r' versions of functions which get invoked if yourtype refuses to acknowledge my type. However Go and Rust could resolve which binary function to use statically, but they don't want to support overloading unless it's a method on the first object.
There is also a notebook project from Netflix called Polynote that support Scala and Python interop. I think they opted for not making a Jupiter kernel because of the need for fast code completion.

>80 million is quite a lot for them...

Equifax should pay damages related to the severity of the breach not to the size of their bank account.
You're not alone! The Ember core team broadly agrees with this goal.

With Octane, we focused on landing broad ergonomic improvements in a compatible release of Ember.

At the same time, we've been working on updating the way that Ember builds JavaScript so that it can make better use of tree shaking and code splitting tools in modern bundlers. That project is called Embroider[1] and it currently builds substantial Ember codebases.

Wrapping up Embroider and shipping it by default is a substantial part of the work we have planned for 2020[2].

Also, now that Octane idioms fully replace the need for Ember's original object model (designed in 2012!), I would expect it to become an optional feature, meant to be used primarily as a transition path. When combined with tree shaking, that should substantially change the default byte size of Ember.

It's too early to say exactly how that will shake out (no pun intended), but it's a big priority for the Ember community next year.

If you don't have any meaningful column structure then you won't be able to do any useful analysis anyway.
The general use case is Helm controlling the rudders on the left and Lee Helm controlling throttles on the right. They're two separate functions, and while they require coordination to run effectively they don't have to be the same person or the same station or even in the same room.

That's actually the normal mode of operation (split responsibility between Lee Helm on the right and Helm on the left) on a CVN (which uses a very similar system, although with a larger console). It has the ability to control both functions from one side of the console, but that's not the normal mode of operation.

If the bridge ceases to exist, then steering could be controlled from aft steering (directly above the rudders) and throttles from engineering central control (engineering owns the engines). That's a canonical thing, it's the way it's always been -- you have redundancy in those places for many obvious reasons for a warship.
The article it refers to as prior art, https://spectrum.ieee.org/nanoclast/semiconductors/devices/b... claims that moving the rails to the back side saves about 15% of the surface area of the chip. That's nothing to sneeze at.

In this context I think it should be termed "now that there are no classified ads."

Especially when your 100 friends also use an image from thispersondoesnotexist.com , drawing attention to a weird group of people who then all become admins of the same groups.

But does it make sense to frame this as a statement about human beings, rather than a statement about what is logically required by the evolutionary-style process of information multiplying? Regardless of where society's starting point was, when it's really easy to transmit information, the information that gets transmitted the most is the kind that doesn't demand analysis first.
Yes, of course. Any suggestions on SDR-based hardware/software options?
Totally agree. Touch screens are terrible UI for these things.
I'm a little sad that I never get to use calculus as a software engineer. It's relatively easy to use discrete mathematics, or even something more theory-heavy like type-theory or category theory can be used a bit, but I sadly haven't been able to find much work doing calc, even though I really enjoyed the classes.

Maybe if I started learning to make games that would be an excuse to relearn some physics and I'd be able to use calculus again.
