Thank you! I haven't started your recommendation yet - the nature theme reminds me of "Hidden Life of Trees" - a book about what trees do over hundreds and thousands of years, you might like it. I definitely did. :)
In my experience Tesseract can get confused near the edges of images, and padding with a wide white border helped a lot. Strange that none of the OCR programs were good enough, though.
Good article, but for the sake of argument: Don't you think any technical "solutions" to this issue will also eliminate the possibility to use these tools for ethical goals (let's say the roles were reversed or whatever) – in addition to all the other gray-area, and inevitable arms-race of detection/avoidance?

Excel allows you to do interactive analysis though, which SQL simply comes no where near close. For example, after creating an Excel table, you add a filter, see the changed data. You can Ctrl-Z for undo. Add another filter and see changed data instantaneously, undo/redo, sort on many columns, create derived columns and sort on those, and all of this interactively.

Also, excel supports far more mathematical functions.

Sounds like a good idea. I’m planning to put together a series of posts on my blog going through it step by step once it’s at a good stage.

I’ll also be using it as the basis for a few learning sessions at my work, so will have some more condensed slides for that which will also go up on Github.

The notion of genetic ancestry is inherently fuzzy. What does the author think it means to be "Italian"? Humans didn't evolve in Italy, nobody is "from" there in a truly genetic sense.

On the other hand, some of the health information 23andme provides is significant and behavior-changing. I don't mean the "you have 5% higher risk of developing hangnails" trivia. I mean the "60% of people with your genetic factors develop deep vein thrombosis" warning - which a person I know found out, and immediately stopped taking hormonal birth control.

For me it was "no news is good news", but that's valuable information too. I consider 23andme a good service.
Agree. This new boson business has been declared and punted on since 2015/2016. Still I hope something new breaks lose... We could use a shot in the arm.

Did anyone stop and consider these aren’t fake people but people who value anonymity?

I have 20 friends who use such tools and tech to hide their identities. Yes they lean right, slightly but they do. They all do this to avoid being found by employers and other. One of my friends is a prominent person in a legal field, another one is a member of a three letter group.

Other than my real name - My Facebook profile has all fake information for public facing as well. It always has - and it always will. Any AI viewing my profile or person viewing my profile has no means of identifying me as a real person unless they coorelate my name elsewhere.

For many of my friends - Their real name is not used.

You could imagine circumstances where the officers outlook was justified or not justified. I think judging them based on only this off hand remark about someone's perception of them is not merited.

For example, suppose you knew that one inmate had repeatedly beaten his wife and child. While in prison he abused and threatened inmates and guards. You suspected he perpetrated the violent rape of multiple other inmates but can't prove it because the victims refuse to testify. You think he's in the class because he's bored.

In this hypothetical, would it be wrong for some correctional officers to believe the notional inmate didn't deserve the chance?
Surely that scenario is the exception and not the rule.

But also, if you have the Facebook app on your phone, or associated with your phone number or email, you’re not anonymous. It’s been an issue for sex workers in the past who try to conceal their identity on social media but Facebook still manages to suggest their “Johns” as friends.

To make it, the frontside of the wafer must be fully processed, including the construction of the buried power rails. The wafer is then flipped over, and the silicon is removed down to a mere 500 nanometers thickness. Then vertical connections less than 1 micrometer across, called micro-through-silicon vias (microTSVs), were built to contact the buried power rails.

I'd say the phenomenon is pretty unique to Trump and Sanders. In Trump's case, his speeches are largely stand-up comedy, and the parts that aren't played for laughs contain the kind of rah-rah patriotism that people come out to see at 4th of July parades and the like.

Most Americans are indifferent or hostile to their representatives, when they even know who they are.
I'd add that while the Author is correct--bokeh is a property of images, not lenses--its not materially different that how most photographers understand the term. While a lot of photographers may say things like "that lens has great bokeh", they don't think that bokeh is some quality in the lens. They are just shortening an idea lke "this lens produces images with great bokeh." It is a lazy way of rephrasing it, but I have never met a photographer that thinks bokeh is not referring to the image.
I've heard that using fake names is also popular with the youth, though I'm not sure if they're doing it on facebook or some other platform.

But what if I am offended that somebody finds my beliefs offensive?! I am not offended by other religions in any way whatsoever - I respect their rights as much as I want them to respect mine. The whole America is decorated for Hellowing, Christmas, and Easter - VS Code is people's least problem! And, as I stated, I can feel totally offended, but I'm not. I feel offended by Helloween, which all liberals celebrate, although it's has Roman-Catholic origins, it's against Christianity's principles, it has a huge environmental impact, and it greatly disturbs me personally, but I honor the rights of others to enjoy it. Should I be offended by nowadays Germans because in the past they killed my ancestors? Please, grow up! History is to learn from it, not to avenge for things way back in the past. Enough snowflakes among the engineers! I can't forget that master-slave "offensiveness" still!

Hey, I just want to say your post generally resonated with me and definitely made me want to check out qbix. I've also spent years on developing software that I'm giving away for free - most of it anyway, but not the parts that would enable others to offer commercial hosting at scale. My software is "just" implementing standards (ISO and OASIS) though, so users don't have to spend their time on proprietary languages, APIs, markup, protocols, etc. With your initial statement on non-free software by start ups and your conclusion to give it all away, I thought you might be interested in this standard-oriented approach as kind of a middle ground between proprietary vs free/open SW.
The ships referenced in the article are a newer class of ship. It was designed for reduced crew capacity, but as you stated it's simply impractical to try to perform specialized skills outside of your training area.

The real problem is that they're reducing the crews on ships of all kinds, not just the newer ones. I inherited 2-3 people's worth of equipment responsibilities when I checked on board, and that's on top of all the extra nonsense the Navy has you do other than work on your equipment.

Here is a summary of potential mitigations for those too busy to click:

# Limiting users or use cases

- User Vetting: Carefully vet those who can use a tool (Example: Synthesia only working with vetted enterprise clients.)

- Usage Constraints: Limit the synthesis possibilities. (Example: Humen is providing only a limited set of movements for generated videos.)

# Discouraging malicious use of flexible and public tools

- Clear disclosure: Ensuring and requiring that manipulated outputs are clearly labeled (including via metadata).

- Consent protection: Requiring the consent of those being impersonated.

- Detection friendliness: Supporting those working on detection and not seeking to fool detection systems.

- Hidden watermarks: Embedding data through robust watermarks.

- Usage logs: Storing information about usage and media outputs.

- Use restrictions: Enforcing contracts that prohibit forms of violative or malicious use.

Not all apply to every system of course. The article has more detail!

THE UNREASONABLE EFFECTIVENESS OF MATHEMATICS, Hamming,

The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences, Wigner,
http://www.dartmouth.edu/~matc/MathDrama/reading/Wigner.html
wikipedia article https://wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unreasonable_Effectiveness_of...

I kind of think much of mathematics was constructed to solve problems, so it's not that surprising that it solves problems.

On a deeper level, any optimal internally consistent system will probably be good at reasoning about any real phenomena with the same constraints.

OTOH our mathematics probably reflects human reasoning styles (despite us not understanding but "just getting used to it"), and aliens might have explored different mathematics first (e.g. algebraic geometry might make us the aliens to Euclid).
OK, then here are some links around this idea:

read "deserve" in any sense that is active in more than the grammatic sense. Maybe they thought the inmates didn't want to, or weren't able to learn. More likely, we think the wardens thought the inmates were criminals.

I'm not sure I deserve to know the difference.
>There are about 30,000 gun related deaths per year by firearms, this number is not disputed.

"There were 39,773 gun deaths in 2017, up by more than 1,000 from the year before".[1]

>Do the math: 0.00915% of the population dies from gun related actions each year.

'Deaths per capita' is the more common unit, isn't it?

>22,938 (76%) are by suicide which can't be prevented by gun laws.

As I understand it, suicide-by-gun are more 'successful' than suicide-by-other-means. Each failed attempt is a chance to save that person or for the person to save themselves from trying again in the future. How could gun control laws not potentially impact suicide rate?

>• 987 (3%) are by law enforcement, thus not relevant to Gun Control discussion.

For some narrow definition of gun control, maybe. There has been talk of the increasing militarization of the police over the last decade+, putting more police in schools in response to school shootings, use of force by police officers in situations that seemingly could have easily avoided it. etc. All seems pretty relevant to the discussion.

>Still too many?

Yes. Staggeringly so[2].

>That's over 30% of all gun crime in just 4 cities.

America has gang/drug/poverty problems that fuel violent crimes. No one is denying that. All part of the gun control discussion.

>We don't have a gun problem...

Can you please help me understand that in relation to [2]? Because it sure looks like we have a gun problem.

For starters, it's extremely hard on the eyes, what with bright icons on a white background with low-contrast lines of text strewn between.
Strategy nests hierarchically, with each layer supporting the ones above. For digital content marketing specifically, you'd detail those questions as:

* What are your objectives covering the next 12 months (SMART format), to outline what the efforts should achieve, how they'll be measured, success/failure criteria etc.

* What's your content going to look like in terms of media, what's the rest of the market doing, what are users, content consumers and customers all looking for...

* How will the comms translate your brand positioning and differentiation/distinctiveness to the audience? What should they take away from each piece and from the overall viewing of the many pieces of content which will be created?

* What channels will be used for promotion z and how will they be utilised?

* How will that content be produced, analysed and refined? What's the production lifecycle & management.

It's always the same five questions, with subtly in the detail of the thing being planned.

Consumers who sought cash settlement from Equifax probably won't get full $125
Hm, so that's using integers for rows and columns, rather than integer/letter (a1 vs r1c1). Is there a way to do indirect/computed references? Because if not, I'm not sure I see how it's much better (saner/easier maybe..)? What's the elevator pitch for r1c1?

No it is not. Research institutions do not explicitly pay people to do peer reviews and it is not generally (ever?) in the job description.

It is essentially an etiquette concern. Peer review is important so generally you should do peer review if you every publish papers.
If you think the Navier-Stokes equations are hard, try the version that plasma physicists have to use, instead.

Rather than confront those, cosmologists have chosen to pretend that, while every single thing they can see is plasma (excepting, uniquely, planets), none of it does anything plasma-ish.

Since plasma physics is scale-invariant, freaky phenomena seen in labs should be playing out at stellar, galactic, and super-cluster scale. If they don't, it needs explanation why not.

Huge props to solar physicists, who confront plasma physics, face-to-face, daily.
This has nothing to do with “millennials”. See, e.g., the Rush song “Subdivisions”, which describes exactly that dynamic, and was recorded before any millennials were even born yet.

That's what all your personal information and your identity is worth. $6.

I thought the article was "alright"

My impression is sometimes people see a certain topic and want to talk about it and upvote. Regardless of it being high quality article or novel. Not saying that's right but it happens.

And sometimes low-quality content gets a better signal, because people want to pick it apart in the comments. Which looks engaging to the ranking rules.
The point is, the officers did not deserve to make such claims.

Not under the veil of ambiguity, nor pessimism.

Your strawman is a fallacy. Suppose an inmate had committed a logical fallacy. Should they thence be barred from reason (reasoning?)?

English isn't my first language, sorry.

PS: You might say the hypothetically notional inmate deserved the offer, but wasn't eligable to go, though one had to wonder why. You might also say it was morally imperative for the officer to bring up charges, if they were sufficiently convinced, to instate conditions that would isolate the culprit from maths education, social interactions in general, and probably any hope of correction.
