That's doable, though you're increasing initial cost by about 1/3, and doubling consumables, by using two filters.

The net effective increased filtration rate is marginal.

> It is the latest development in a pattern of Apple acquiescing to Beijing’s demands. Last July, Apple deleted VPN apps from the App Store that let mainland Chinese internet users evade censorship. Apple’s lawyers have also added a clause in the Chinese terms of service that states both Apple and GCBD may access all user data. Apple has not responded to requests for comment.

> Meanwhile, Chinese laws do not protect internet users’ privacy from government intrusion. In 2015, China passed a National Security Law, which included a provision to give police the authority to demand companies let them bypass encryption or other security tools to access personal data. The National People’s Congress was not available to comment.

It's fine to think that the IEEE cost is too high for the value provided, but there's no reason to measure it with respect to a baseline defined by the arXiv. The arXiv is literally just an automated system pushing bits around (plus some unpaid volunteers who do light moderating).

Likewise, I might think the person employed at the post office gets paid too much relative to the value they provide, but it would be silly to compare their salary cost to the maintenance cost of a blue steel Post Office box on the corner. ("Their health insurance alone costs 1000x the annual price of blue paint!")
The iCloud keys exist on the iCloud servers (which are under CCP control in China). That's how you can search your mail and documents from any device.

If you want to change the subject and talk about iMessage instead of iCloud, the architecture of that system allows for the government to intercept all messages as well. https://www.wired.com/2015/09/apple-fighting-privacy-imessag...
Not only that, I’m amazed that VCs call the awful ads they tested “marketing”. What they created is simple, uncompetitive, uncreative advertising, and that kind of thing doesn’t stand a chance in today’s world. Of course it performed terribly. Marketing today takes just as much creativity as the product you’re selling. Actually, I would argue it takes more in many cases. It’s like building a race car and putting low grade gas in the tank. Theres a surprising lack of business acumen here.
China doesn't get to decide the scientific consensus. Teams of scientists spanning multiple countries + NGOs like the WHO make the risk assessment. The reason the scientific consensus was that there was no human-human transmission was because...there was no evidence of human-human transmission. All previous cases could be directly traced back to the market, and there were previously no clear evidence of healthcare workers or relatives with no exposure to the market but exposure to an infected individual getting sick.

Unlike anonymous users online, professional scientists can't make a claim, especially a very serious one, without evidence. If they do so, later the public will crucify them if it turns out the virus actually cannot spread from human-human.

It's only in the past three days that it because clear that there is evidence of people who don't have a direct link to the market being infected. A big reason for this breakthrough was that the genome of the virus was identified (by, yes, Chinese scientists working within two weeks of realizing a novel outbreak, which is also impressive). This genome sequence makes possible very sensitive tests for identifying infected people more accurately.

Hence, in the light of this new information, the scientific consensus has been updated to reflect likely human-human transmission.

Please stop spreading false information and unnecessary hatred. This only makes the response to a crisis worse.
regular expression matching is not heavily used in biology for a wide range of reasons. Nearly all approaches now are k-mer/probabilistic. Using backtracking is just a path to performance problems.
Yea, but in my scenario I’m driving and need the right result right now. I’m not in any sense pro-google, so it pains me they are still the best at this.

I can’t append or prepend, I had time for one search and need a result now before I miss a turn.

I would be very curious to see your notebook - while this simple approach works well with GPT, we are not getting the results we'd want with a more complex question/answer model that uses GPT2. So I'd love to see your implementation details!

The datasets provided in the notebook are really meant to be fallbacks for people who are not willing to use their own chat log data. When training on my own data, I have about 500k messages, which starts being enough to get interesting results.

fun article. i have to quibble with the conclusion however.

cockroaches (hexapods) have been observed to use four and then two (hind) legs as they run faster and faster, which implies that contact time (with the ground) seems less important than (leg) cycle times (or leg coordination costs).

at least, contact time is not singluarly important. longer legs are generally beneficial regardless, since stride length is a function of leg length.

The major BSD derived operating systems all have 'live' boot media for installs - however this usually means CLI. That said, this should be enough to verify most HW compatibility.

- AutoML will perform most of the model development [ This will occur within the next 5 years or even less].

- Custom chips will perform the inference and probably the training. For example, Tesla managed to create a chip, which is 10x cheaper than a GPU for training.

Nice trick. The big table in the beginning has "Yes" almost everywhere but in fact the data are accessible by Apple.

Thanks a lot for the article! Loved it. Within my limited experience, I also agreed a lot, which I find encouraging.

A few quick questions for the author if I may:

- Do you have recommendations for other articles and books or courses like this?

- What’s your take on a few alternatives: Python (rather than node) and Google Cloud or Azure (rather than Amazon)?

- do you lose sleep worrying about the security of your servers? :-)

Thanks!
He was wrong in offering the info in the first place. However, I don't disagree with your second statement.
Interesting hypothesis, but feels a bit light on fact and data. Breezed right over the bit about plant-based diet being a negative.

A DE is a desktop environment and includes niceties like text editors, settings applications, music playered, and things that make an ecosystem. Gnome and KDE are the two most popular DEs. WM is a window manager and just handles well, window management. Sometimes that included decoration and styling, usually it includes moving and closing and minimizing them. Think, Mutter, Sway, or fvwm. A WM is a subset of a DE.

I agree, but it isn't surprising that this part of the company was shut down. The article says the chip was designed to implement a protocol that ended up going nowhere (Wireless HD). Lattice was probably interested in the tech and patent portfolio more than the actual product, even though it was an impressive chip that doesn't mean it was profitable.
As someone who has been in the business for more than 5 years but not nearly long enough to be one of the "veterans", I find myself often between the two camps.

On the one hand the hype cycle is annoying. First, Node and NoSQL were supposed to solve all problems, now it's GraphQL, or Go, or whatever. All the while perfectly reasonable tech like SQL or REST are almost not considered anymore even in cases where they are more suitable.

OTOH, some of the "older" people are the same when it comes to newer technologies. Things can't be the same forever, and not every change is a temporary fad (the internet wasn't, nor were mobile phones), and the same people that now refuse to look at things like e.g. Kotlin or Scala should realise that Java was new at some point too and plenty of languages that came before have now all but died out.

In short, people should come up with actual arguments for/against some tech instead of going purely by novelty (whether as a positive or a negative aspect).
wm just manages windows, DE is usually this + a full application suite e.g. preferences UI, File Browser, web browser, photo viewer, etc, etc, etc and some kind of 'component' mechanism so that those pieces can interoperate better (e.g. file browser reads from some settings application to determine what photo app to open things with)

I don't agree that Cummings was happy to let Farage bring in the anti-immigrant votes. They maintain that Farage/Banks cost them votes overall because they turned off a lot of swing voters whereas people who were very concerned about immigration were going to vote Leave anyway.

You make a good point about marginal policies like cannabis decriminalisation (something I support too) not making progress under FPTP, I think the UK system certainly has its downsides too.

Re democracy, you may be right that the EU is more democratic in terms of how the cross section of concerns are mushed together. The fundamental issue is error correction though, the EU is unresponsive in the face of problems when it might require them to row back on the idea of deeper and deeper integration across Europe. They keep on pushing the same path, even when it appears to be causing damage (e.g. Greece). The empirical evidence on political forecasting suggests that everyone, including those at the top of institutions, is frequently wrong in the medium/long term and I think the EU will keep compounding errors. Of course, this is itself a forecast and it's possible that the EU will seriously reform and we would have been better off inside after all, I assign low probability to this though.

Yes I agree the HoL is very flawed too.
College-only Facebook would have died after everyone graduated and it really took off after they decided to compete with Twitter's feed. The model of having a stream of news of people complaining about what they had for breakfast allowed grandparents to get massive FOMO and join to see what their grand kids were up to.

Zuckerberg for all his flaws has always had an eye for what the next big social media wave is and went after it.

That's done by the community - ACM don't fund that. They just run the conferences (which are paid and ticketed so presumably fund themselves) and host the paper files.
> For at least the last decade, Apple has offered truly secure encrypted local backups of iOS devices, using iTunes on a Mac or PC.

I don't see a citation for this claim. How do we know if this is correct? Trust but verify.

> ... for most iPhone and iPad users it’s irrelevant, because they never connect their devices to a Mac or PC, and the overwhelming majority of them surely have no idea that the feature even exists.

That's precisely why Reuters didn't mention iCloud in its headline. For almost all iOS device owners, backup means iCloud backup.
Warrant cannaries are of dubious legality and have yet to be seriously tested in court. It makes total sense that a large company would not adopt something potentially illegal.

A person on StackExchange put it well

> The distinction between revealing the existence of the subpoena by action, rather than by inaction, is a false one. It's exactly the kind of cutesy legal formality that non-lawyers love to rely on, but real judges ignore. If you tell someone: "Hey, you know John Smith's three sons, Joe, Ted, and Bill? Joe and Ted are good people; they have never molested any children. As for Bill--well, I don't have anything to say about Bill." If Bill is not a child molester, you have defamed him, and you are not going to convince a judge otherwise. [1]

Here's how the EFF puts it.

> Are there any cases upholding warrant canaries?

> Not yet. EFF believes that warrant canaries are legal, and the government should not be able to compel a lie. To borrow a phrase from Winston Churchill, no one can guarantee success in litigation, but only deserve it.

I'm also not sure how warrant canaries relate to your parents' point.

I can't believe this is getting downvoted. It's the equivalent of sticking your head in the sand and hoping that if you can't see a bad thing then that bad thing doesn't exist. This is a clear case of incentive design and too strong of an arm in preventing acquisitions can come back to bite you. Don't pretend this isn't the case, acknowledge it and factor it into your beliefs around optimal anti-trust law.
so it kind of makes sense that you are shown other sites in there

Why? If I search for a specific thing (Expedia), why would Google assume I want to see other options that I did not ask for other than "it's more profitable for Google"? More specifically, in the event I want other options, why is the correct answer "you want to see the other options that are paying Google the most"? That's not "pro-competition", that's "pro-Google".

Google should recognise that a search for Expedia is either: a) For Expedia b) For a travel holiday

Why, short of mind reading (I assume they're working on it, but it's not in the 10Q), should Google ever assume B?
Yeah and your dumbass comment is a prime example why this industry will get regulated harder than whorehouses.
That's why they accounted for much higher CTRs in the long run by optimizing the ads. Also, I'm no expert but I would imagine you shouldn't base your market research on getting lucky with a viral ad.

Or that could be a bias towards spending most time with the most extreme examples. A bit like how policemen tend to become more racist during the course of their career. A professional's opinion on a moral issue can be more informed but also often more biased.
Contrary, I think it would make search engines better!
For the non-US folks like me, iCloud was a non-option from the start due to data sovereignty. I am already skating on thin ice by sharing calendars between devices using iCloud.

The way Apple can best address the privacy issue while still providing easy backups is to build the iCloud backup functionality into macOS or Apple TV, with facilities to provide rsync-style backups of encrypted volumes to generic online storage services, of which Apple can be one provider.

I want something like Western Digital’s “My Cloud” devices, but supporting Time Machine as first class citizen (eg using rsync) not via mounting a disk image.
Sure, but if iOS was open enough, users who cared could use some third party online backup that was actually secure. And it could rely on an app that users could obtain, regardless of whether it was legal or not.
It's an attribute on an EFI partition, according to the user manual.

There's a lot to critique in publishing and associated costs, but this tweet is unfortunately factually wrong.

From the linked article, ACM's publication costs are $10.9M, not $33.7M.

One of the ACM's major publication initiatives over the last 3-5 years has been an overhaul of their publication templates and publication workflow, to ensure greater consistency in publication formatting, improve accessibility, and archive publications in more future-proof formats. There are also the ongoing costs of creating and indexing metadata (ACM tracks more metadata than arXiv, including resolved citations), preservation (ACM buys failsafe perpetual access services from Portico, arXiv has mirrors at other university libraries).

Should it cost $10.9M? I am not sure. Does it cost a lot more than what arXiv does? Yes.

For a costing exercise: the service ACM buys from Portico is archival and republication. If ACM goes insolvent, Portico flips on their archive and the content remains available. How would you price this service, knowing that when it is actually needed, it's because your customer can no longer pay bills, and you now need to take up their hosting (and all related costs) for approximately forever with no further revenue? I think a network of university libraries would be a more cost-effective way to provide this service, but it's the kind of thing that people working on publication and archival professionally think about, and that factors into the cost of professional archival-level publication.

(I cannot speak to IEEE.)

Funny how we want to take an incredibly complex system and boil it down to 1+1=2. We think we're really advanced when we throw in 3rd or 4th step into the math equation. But not surprisingly this sort of reductionism leads to people being equally certain of exactly opposite conclusions. To the point they'll belittle the other person's simplistic understanding while completely missing the simplicity of their own model.

There are massive cash reserves that Google and IIRC Amazon have that are on the books let alone in off shore bank accounts. There is room for better tax policy here for sure.

What should be more surprising though is how e.g. Google has ties to USG (through Schmidt) but can still escape harsher taxation. At the same time – maybe that's why they can escape harsher taxation... because USG benefits by other means.
