Yep, they used an off the shelf nn (gigapixel) to upscale each individual frame. You could try to achieve your proposal using a guassian convolution windowed in 3d across frames. I suspect it may make a mess of the video's framerate, but the motion appears smooth enough that it might work.

That term, "ol' boys club" is a pretty offensive generalization. It's sad to see this person didn't jive with management at their workplace, and maybe it wasn't a comfortable environment, but it's not like employees have their hands on the knob of who gets hired.

It's incredibly hurtful to see someone draw such sweeping, negative inferences without specificity.

Whenever the word toxic gets brought up, I brace, because it feels the one making the claim is either projecting, or trying to use insults to incite others (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projective_identification)

Who is the person being abrasive and creating a negative culture here? It's a serious claim, inducing social pressure on onlookers, if they don't support the vague accusation, they feel a party to it.

That post makes it sound like everyone's character at that company is subpar and being done personal favors because of characteristics of how they look? It's a stereotype I keep hearing - as if there aren't good, fair-minded onlookers absorbing the brunt of that. It hurts.
Because "The Channel' sales model provides all sorts of strange incentives from vendor reps through to end users. Everyone is playing everyone off everyone.

Lets say there's two solutions that would solve my end users problem equally well. Both have list prices of 10K, both have normal disty cost of 7K, but brand X is running a promo where I get a 50% off front end discount from disty, but brand y is not.

Now I call the customer up and let them know that not only is brand X the best solution, but because of my great relationship with brand x I've secured them a 20% discount off list.

So now the customer is getting what they need cheaper and I've got more margin in the deal, which is what my commision is calculated out of.

So essentially when vendors do this they're not trying to make things cheaper for the customer to increase demand, they're trying to make sure that their products put the most money in sales people's pockets so that sales people will push their stuff the hardest.

Though on this specific occasion I was following the letter (or lack thereof) of the promotion, but certainly not the spirit. Grabbing existing demand vs generating new demand.
You are extrapolating something I did not say.
Yeah I guess I would choose a CS grad also but "poisoned by a certificate mill" is pretty dramatic. I don't have any illusion fresh bootcamp grads are awesome sr devs but seriously you can, again surrounded by more senior mentors, put a high potential bootcamp grad on a project and they will be far from worse than useless almost immediately and certainly after a few months be quite valuable because their albeit very minimal and focused training got them a toehold and some skills they could apply and expand on over time. Sounds like you had a bad experience.

> huge amount of expansions slots

You meant 4x PCIe slots? That must be a joke. Even x299 with only 28 PCIe lanes has 7... TRX40 could happily support 8x PCIe 3 slots, but nobody makes such board.
It is! But in Rust you still have an escape hatch in the form of the `unsafe` annotation which allows for mistakes which break memory safety. I don't think Go has something like that, unless you use the FFI. So saying that Go is at least as memory safe as Rust might not be too wrong of a statement.

However I think in total Rust is safer. E.g. Rust prevents a ton of race conditions in multithreaded code, which Go can not do.

When they say 2% owns the other’s wealth I guess they were reffering on controlling the rest. Renting it’s a form of barrowing on highest interest possible, similar to bank monthly morgage pay. And this is just sick.
Chances are whatever software developers are used by the rnc also work for trump or whichever Rs campaign. If you need something done, you will probably be asking your buddy what they did to do that rather than digging through the local classifieds for someone with zero connection to your personal network at all. If your boss tells you to find a dev tomorrow, you are probably just gonna text your fellow intern buddy what company their group went with and go with that to make your life easier.

That being said, it's important to grasp what actually happened with the app rather than give in to misinformation and political apathy surrounding the news. Iowa voted by paper, so we are all just sitting tight while the hand count occurs as is traditionally done.

> I think most people agree racism exists and is bad.

Sure, by the definition of racism that you and I would use. But not by the one that's been weaponised in these purity spirals. By their definition, as explained by the academic interviewed in the podcast, it is literally impossible for someone raised in modern society NOT to be racist. Taking offense at being called a racist is more evidence of racism. Trying to explain how you aren't racist is more evidence of racism.

It is like Original sin, but without any path to redemption.
As far as I can tell, it is a myth that building high-income-targeting housing does not help, in aggregate, low-income earners. See the concept of filtering, which is well-studied and sees two effects:

1. middle-high-income households moving into more expensive units, middle-low-income into the space left over from that move, etc.

2. the slower effect of declining values from aging housing stock.

Okay, but you're still skeptical. I do honestly understand, you probably should be; I definitely don't regard myself as the best person to argue about these things. Knowing that, I should make a less ambitious case on this one and point out that "grabbing cheap land" for expensive construction is far better than letting it go empty and not contribute via taxes to the local government's coffers.

And yes, I'm aware of the criticism of LVT. But isn't it obvious? If we have politicians who are virtuous enough to enact an LVT, I think we've tunneled into an alternate reality operated by saints, so that just about resolves itself.

I also want to hear about the other side of this trade. Turning a 125k sale into a 4.2M loss.

This sounds like a great trade but very few people would buy 125k in options without being able to take the hit had it gone against him. It's very easy to lose money with options even if you are an expert. Had the trade gone against him it's very likely he would have lost all his money.

The very term "social justice warrior" is an invention of the reactionary right, though. Flinging it around as an invective like this is exactly the same psychology at work as calling moderate-but-mildly-clueless knitters racists. You're defining an out group and shunning them.

This only gets better when people start to talk about specifics and be (to use your word) sensible about things. Drawing up battle lines trying to make the people you don't like take a stand with the SJWs is making things worse.

Really interesting point here. Although, there is a little more nuance needed and this is one of the big issues plaguing the campaigning software space - not all are created for the same goals and not all offer the same services.

If you take your example of NationBuilder, a company I know well as I led their European expansion, it only sold software not data. Unlike most American campaign software, NationBuilder does not sell data as part of their package. NationBuilder does not believe that you can create a sustainable and powerful community by using data that you have purchased, and thus only sells the platform.

So yes I agree with you that while campaigns can (and should) be paranoid about who has access to their data, and even how it is being used, this data brokerage model isn't the model that all companies adopt and it's a really important distinction to make.

While I am here, I will add the following, tech companies who want to democratise democracy (and I'm not saying that's the mission for everyone) and help lower the barrier to entry, cannot claim to do so if they alone decide who has access to these tools. Crucial decisions, such as which parties have access to the latest technology, should not be in the hands of a few tech titans of Silicon Valley - where the power they already wield is already unmeasurable.

All of the above is a fascinating and important debate and also a very American one. Campaigning and political technology is incredibly partisan in America, compared to Europe where what we fear most are monopolies.

It's pretty strong to assert that it is universally possible. From a technical perspective, yes, you can determine the origin of all VoIP calls in exactly the same way as you can determine the origin of all IP packets. This is to say, yes in theory, but in practice, no in many situations, not even necessarily when the origin has intentionally been obscured.

Cold-call spam may in many cases originate from corporate PBXs or VoIP setups which were compromised by an attacker. I'm not sure how common this is but know it happens as I have been involved in the response/cleanup on two different occasions. This is perhaps the most difficult to track case as it becomes a matter of forensics on the compromised PBX setup. This is less likely for inbound though because it's not a very stable arrangement. It is also not unheard of for non-VoIP telecom providers, generally overseas, to be themselves corrupt and involved in facilitating malicious uses of the telephone system (e.g. international calling termination rate scams).

On the other hand, there are a huge number of VoIP providers which may operate overseas, may not be very responsive to complaints and requests, and even unintentionally may not retain logs that allow them to identify customers. This means that when law enforcement determines that a call originated with a VoIP provider (via phone provide records), there is a high chance that getting information about that provider could require costly legal proceedings and even then result in a dead end.

I personally use a VoIP provider right now for completely non-malicious purposes that would probably be very difficult for law enforcement to identify me from because I know the provider to be overseas, small, and to have generally poor operational practices. This isn't even a provider which markets explicitly to criminal uses (which very much exist!), it's just an extremely cheap one.

Yes, law enforcement are certainly not doing everything which is possible. But it's far from a cop-out - law enforcement has limited resources and the way things are right now VoIP providers can easily become a very frustrating dead-end.

But it isn't focused on a single small spot; it has to scan across multiple small spots in order to form a recognisable 2d image. If it were just focused on a single small spot the entire time, all you'd see is a dot.

That means one of two things must be true. Either a) the beam is way brighter than other light entering your eye, such that it delivers in a single focused beam the same amount of energy that would otherwise be distributed evenly across the surface of your retina if you were viewing natural light. (Thus the questions I posed in my previous comment.) Or b) the beam is the same brightness as other light entering your eye, meaning the amount of energy in any individual pixel is far _less_ than what your eye receives from natural light. (I imagine this would make the image appear very dim.)

I think you may be saying this sarcastically, but in response to the comment you replied to, at least my browser (Firefox) does do this. On this page, "ycombinator.com" is highlighted in white.
> You need to do something like aggregate the data into a small number of groups such that individual records no longer exist. Techniques like "differential privacy" let you control precisely how "anonymous" your data is by e.g. mixing in carefully crafted noise.

Correct, and another anonymization technique (in place of differential privacy) is k-anonymity. In k-anonymity schemes, you ensure that in any given table no row corresponds to any fewer than k individuals. Why is this useful? Well let's say you have some, say, 10-15 bit identifier. You can take a request from a user that contains information that might when combined, be identifying. Say: coarseish location (state/country), device metadata (browser version, OS version), and coarse access time (the hour and day of week). Combining all 3 (or 4 if you include the psuedonymous ID) is enough to uniquely identify at least some users. Then let's say you also track some performance statistics about the browser itself.

But any single piece of data (plus the pseudonymous ID) is not enough to identify any specific user. So if you use the psuedonymous ID as a shared foreign key, you can join across the tables and get approximate crosstabs without uniquely identifying any specific user. Essentially, if you want to ask if there are performance differences between version N and version N+1, you can check the aggregate performance vs. the aggregate count of new vs. old browser version, and with 8K samples, you're able to draw reasonable conclusions. And in general you can do this across dimensions or combinations of dimensions that might normally contain enough pieces of info to identify a single user.

This is essentially the same idea as differential privacy, although without the same mathematical precision that differential privacy can provide. (By this I don't mean that the data can be re-identified, just that differential privacy can be used to provide tighter bounds on the anonymization, such that the statistical inferences you can gather are more precise. k-anonymity is, perhaps, a less mathematically elegant tool).

Specifically, I'm describing k-anonymity using x-client-data as a Quasi-identifier in place of something like IP or MAC address. You can find those terms in the "See Also" section of the differential privacy wiki page you linked. Google is mentioned in those pages as a known user of both differential privacy and k-anonymization in other tools.

Hopefully that answers your question of why Google would want such a thing.

> simply saving the data gives Google the option to use it as an identifier in the future.

Yes, but that doesn't mean that they're currently in violation of the GDPR, which is what a number of people keep insisting. I'm not claiming that it's impossible for Google to be doing something nefarious with data (although I will say that in general I think that's an unreasonably high bar). Just that the collection of something like this isn't an indication of nefarious actions, and is in fact likely the opposite.

Go is a general purpose programming language. It is suitable for a large variety of programming tasks beyond network services (though itself a massive problem domain)

For a third Go has robust cryptography libraries.
