Now you are nitpicking. Your new link says exactly this “ This broadcasts the machine ID (hashed with a known fixed salt) over the LAN as the unique client identifier part of the DHCP protocol. (Other DHCP clients tend to use MAC addresses for this.) It also broadcasts the machine ID locally on each link as part of Ethernet LLDP, if enabled.”

Given this tidbit, it seems less clear cut:

Frequently, she says, officers will hire a handyman on the pretext of performing work that doesn't need a license, and then during the course of the job ask them to do something that does, like unhooking a toilet or laying some tiles.

"When the handyman says no, then the undercover detective moves the conversation to something else and then comes back to the question later in a different way," says Sammis. "By the time the handyman gets to the location, they want to make the homeowner happy and end up agreeing to perform work that they didn't intend on doing when they first arrived. The undercover detective[s] are just creating a crime that probably wouldn't occur otherwise."

Mossad cannot silently get rid of people?

Consultants can be great for filling in very specialized gaps, but beyond that I don't know how anyone can think it's a good idea. Aside from a history of failure and consulting companies acting as parasites the incentives simply don't align in the first place. Why do a good job that will last years when a bad job will make you more money and keep the gravy train rolling?

Of course building up a good internal team inside a government department also seems to be frought with peril, so maybe it's the only option.
No it's not. It compares it only to x265 veryslow. A fair comparison would be to test every x265 mode against every av1 mode, x265 is still faster for same quality in for example slow mode. Even then you can only talk about faster for a certain use case. E.g the article starts about video conferencing, that is typically a special mode where you only do 1 pass and disable a lot of optimizations to meet latency requirements. So you can only compare similar modes for a specific use case.
If these graphs were segmented by device, network (search vs. display/youtube) and the country it would tell the story. Users are doing more searches and clicking more as a result of the convenience of mobile devices. Desktop users were and are more intent-driven (worth more to advertisers), but now comprise a much smaller percentage of the total. Display and Youtube impression inventory may be becoming a larger percentage of total, but has lower value than search thereby bringing down the average. As stated by another user international expansion into lower income regions would lead to lower average CPC as well.
Do you know any other ML conference/journal, doesn't have to be NeurIPS quality,that also publishes reviews? I know there is ICLR, but anything else? I really like reading them.
I remember real ID being called controversial in 2005. I wonder if that might have something to do with the fact that it took them ~15 years before somebody said "yes, we're really doing it this year".

Not exactly sure what you mean by that one word [0], but: You would consider it a conspiracy theory saying that an agency that is funded to listen in to everything [1] is listening in to everything? And it turns out not to be a conspiracy theory when Snowden reveals that the agency funded to listen in to everything has a program to listen in to everything?

Or does the conspiracy theory have any finer details I'm not getting or is different?

Was it a conspiracy of the agency to listen in on everyone? Or is the conspiracy that the government ('people in the know') conspired to keep it (a secret agency program) secret?

I think Mint is easier to be learnt for people who don't know both Mint and the Javascript world.
If people already knows Javascript, it's not a fair comparison.

This story is similar to Elm. I tried to teach people without programming experience at all, they don't have bias or preference so those 'alternative languages' looks good to them. But to convince the 'legacy world' is a tough work. Anyway, appreciate the work of Mint :)

I think at it's core it is right in the guts of DevOps. The "flag" that protects dead code is dev, and the unforeseen deployment scenario is ops. With a DevOps mindset you need to think of both. I think it is a stellar example of what can go wrong if you don't consider both the dev and the ops aspects.

Hmm... I write links similarly to Atwood here, but I'm now scared of link rot. The hyperlink goes to a Youtube video that is no longer available, so I feel like I'm missing a bit of context from this paragraph.

Looking at the blogpost, it is now 7 years old. On the one hand, a blogpost probably isn't written to stand the test of time. But on the other hand, here we are today rereading this blogpost from 7 years ago, so in someways, this blogpost has stood the test of time.

Fortunately: the core point of the blogpost is working well. But it does make you think about linkrot over the course of 7 years.
That may itself be an intelligence agency psy op. The origins of the Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracy theories are very opaque, but the leading promoters were Jack Posobiec (former naval intelligence) and Mike Cernovich (who featured Alan Dershowitz in one of his documentaries).

the only reason why MK Ultra was discovered was through a cache of just under 100k files that were supposed to be destroyed but ended up being found on accident. This forced the CIA to shut it down after it being unknown to the public for over 30 years. aka we don't really know how far back it goes and most likely will never understand the entirety of its reach. The Water gate scandal had everyone in the CIA destroying everything under strict rules if my memory serves correct.

Not true in all locales. In 2001 I bought a computer locally (Haifa, Israel) with a winmodem. I installed Red Hat on it, so obviously the winmodem would not work. I could not find a hardware modem locally. The only solution that I had was to go with an ADSL line (250k up, 750k down) which cost a fortune but whose modem would plug into the network card.

It would be a full two years before I would see any other home users on anything other than dialup. 750k down in 2001 was so impressive, you could start listening to songs on Kazaa as soon as the download started!

The fact that you think the Facebook tag is "not ideal" while all the Google tags are not problematic, just shows how much people has bought in to the original "Don't be evil" motto and unfortunately how easy it is for Google to go under the radar in privacy discussions.

Both Facebook and Google are advertising companies. Both of them have littered the web with their scripts and GIFs making it possible for them to track everything we do. The only difference is how we trust them with our data, and honestly I think they are very equal in this regard. Both of them will track us as much as possible within applicable legislation and their own terms.

Why should house and fence painting require licensing?

I hire people. If they are removing a tree, replacing septic lines, doing electrical work, I want to see they are licensed, bonded, and insured. If their lackey screws up and hurts himself I want their insurance to pay. If the tree falls the wrong way and destroys my house I want their insurance to pay.

This is why I always ask them about their bonding and insurance and need to see evidence of each. Many never come back after I ask for that!

But if I'm hiring someone for painting, it's different. Anyone can do that okay. Along with minor household repairs.
You can't draw conclusions from this for live streaming. That's typically just a subset of the encoder being used in 1 pass. Same for h264 etc.

I totally agree. The courts bend over backwards to not find that entrapment has occurred. The bar has been set very high for what a defendant has to prove.

a quick comment on base-api, the API in other languages are readable but not so in js, you used long (unamed) argument instead of (keyed) object, which is a bad practice IMO, also why is the `key => value` pair in the form submit using array-function?

The framework is a relatively light wrapper of the Intel virtualization extensions. The handling of interrupts is definitely not as efficient as it could be, since it doesn't use the professor support for APIC register virtualization and injection of interrupts without exiting to the hypervisor.

No wonder, having an whole OS as godfather, with on maintenance Java language support.

I completely agree. Both Microsoft and Google only release inflated cloud numbers, I guess to look more competitive with Amazon. This way Google only looks like a 1/4 of Amazon rather than maybe 1/8....

>The future can never be a causal parent of the past.

That's a testable statement. The reason it's testable is because we can define a hypothetical causal effect of the present on the past, and then do experiments and show that it's always zero. I only mean that we can talk about it, not that we can show it to be anything but a non-effect, so I'm not sure I see where we're in disagreement.

So, what's the key? Clearly not what we are currently made to believe.
Are they? As an undergrad I thought my professors were silly folks who got suckered into making a huge effort on obscure facts when they could easily make the same salary with less energy in software/IT. When a prof I did research with behaved rudely to me I just quit his lab and got someone else to write grad school letters for me. Academically all but the best undergrads know basically nothing, but looking down on them seems like you’ll soon have lab a labor shortage to me, especially in CS.
Passport is fine. Some people can also use global entry card as a realid.
Java needs drive the JVM, yes they do take into consideration what might be relevant for guest languages on the JVM, but that is "nice to have" kind of thought.

You can easy check this by reading JEP proposals, discussions on the mailing list, or talks from JVM Language Summit.

My feeling is that between sbt being painfully slow and Java 8 getting lambdas, people lost interest in Scala.
This article is wrong in that the generated id is not unique (see yesterday's discussion at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22236106 ) and Google's statement at https://www.google.com/chrome/privacy/whitepaper.html#variat.... The id certainly makes tracking individual users a lot easier by making their browser fingerprint far more unique.

Also there are no headers named "X-Client-header" or "X-Client" that I am aware of. The header name is "X-Client-Data".

OP here. This blog post follows the previous post "The Rise and Fall of OLAP Cube" which was shared on HN a few days back. We realized a lot of people mistook the 2 terms OLAP and OLAP Cube. So this post is aimed to clarify that.

This isn’t a REAL ID matter. REAL ID is orthogonal.

NYS is refusing access to their “normal” non-REAL ID databases, and it bothers someone in the executive branch.

Notably, for Global Entry, you already need a passport - which supersedes the ID value of your state DL in every imaginable way

No NYS applicant is asking the federal government to rely on a drivers license. The government has just chosen to tie other things to the drivers license to further their own private tantrums
Let me ask a question as someone with pretty minimal Java experience. If someone was starting a greenfield JVM project today, is there really any compelling reason not to choose Kotlin over Java?

I'm not saying that having more mainstream tooling wouldn't be good, but people should not be discouraged from Clojure or Lisp development because of an apparent lack of tooling.
