Many use triclosan, which was even legal in the US until last year, so a lot of it is still in consumer hands.
I use kerosene or gasoline to unclog instead of wd40

For most general purpose use, I use white Lithium grease.

If it's metal to plastic or plastic to plastic contact surface: silicone oil/grease (mostly in 3d printed parts)

If it's metal on metal and in dirty environment: I use dry teflon lube or ceramic lube (mostly on my mountain bike and 3d printer lead screw)

If it's heavy metal on metal where it can heat significantly: MolyD grease or graphite grease
This reads like some kind of allegory, but I really cannot tell for what... But taking it in the somewhat literal spirit: we have a good analogy in the market with free range eggs.

Here in Australia, "free range" hens must be kept at no more that 10,000 head/hectare (or 1 sqm of land per hen). This is massively better than battery hens, which are kept at as low as... 0.03 sqm of cage/hen. The animal welfare benefits are huge, battery hens have a truly horrible existence, to the point where I believe that it is immoral to farm them in this way.

But some producers are advertising lower stocking densities, some 6 sqm per hen and others even 10 sqm. They are charging a small premium for their eggs, and some people pay it, because they like the idea of animals being treated well.

So yes, many people are prepared to pay a bit extra for ethical treatment of animals. Even people (if that where the original post was pointing at).
I spent a few months in the region with a sick toddler and can attest to the speed, quality and friendliness of the public health system there.
That the virus is spreading so quickly, and that the health system is getting overwhelmed is cause for real concern. If northern Italy can't handle the outbreak, I'm not sure anywhere will do much better.

Nice interview
> If you quarantine and the virus is controlled, then it looks like you panicked over nothing, because you took this huge reaction and nothing much happened. However, if you wait till it's sufficiently bad and then you quarantine everyone will understand what you did, and later, you may get praised for your decisive leadership in a time of struggle.

This need not be this case. Any authorities who take action to shut down social contact now, before they turn into Italy, will be praised several months hence for being forward thinking because it will be clear what happened in every jurisdiction where they didn't shut down social contact, i.e. absolute catastrophe.
Qualcomm's spinout Gimbal went broke once so far trying to bring this tech to market, but they're still muddling along.

You can quantify in normal domains e.g. probability of seeing a human over 2.05m tall.
You CAN'T quantify tail risk in unbounded (for practical purposes) domains, period.
This is just ridiculous: "For this example, there’s about a 2% chance losses would exceed $60 million in a year."
If you see you can lose everything, you are not quantifying, you are simply not going that way. If you don't know if you can protect yourself from losing everything, you are not going that way. If you can afford losing some limited amount you just write down the loss from the very start. That is that simple.

Netflix is just going straight to hell with such prediction approaches. And, mind that, this is not a prediction, this is a fragility statement.

Yeah, but irrelevant pedentry doesn't always get downvotes.
I'm confused. So the original paper was shown to be flawed, but then the rebuttal was also shown to be flawed. But this article argues the flaws in the rebuttal was not as glaring as the flaws in the original paper?

But the approach of counting commits on github just seems fundamentally flawed. The first step should be to show that the github dataset can be used to say anything about quality and productivity of things like language choice. Arguing about how to classify commit messages seem pointless without this foundation.

I either get rid of cookie/tracking popups from the DOM (using e.g. Nuke Anything on Firefox, or developer tools) and use a bookmarklet to reenable scrolling or I open private browsing and accept all the junk they want to give. My browsing is basically unaffected beyond the 5 seconds it takes to do the above, and I am successfully opting out of privacy invasion. Unfortunately this isn't simple enough for the average person to do so they'll continue to be the bait for these companies.

The irony of the text that says "we care about your privacy" while simultaneously hiding the "deny all" button is profound.

What they are saying is that in the case with their setup they can't trigger shutdown or hibernation without a backed up KVM.
Grammars are overrated—they regularly leave ambiguities and sometimes conflict with the text, despite both being considered normative.

I love WHATWG specs with their state machines. They’re all about defining exact behaviour based upon what has already been implemented by extant software, and define comprehensively how every possible input should be parsed. They’re easy to transcribe in code without error. These things get you compatibility, and avoid security bugs where people have implemented different behaviour in different places—as was the case in this instance. As a parser spec, the HTML spec is my favourite, because it makes implementing something that is fiendishly complex genuinely easy.

I would love something equivalent for HTTP/1 and MIME messages.

> The 'inputs' are the random numbers. Not the training data.

You're dodging. The inputs to the neural network are clearly the training images, they don't just disappear. The outputs are derived works, at least.

> They don't produce a copy of an existing work, any more than a human trained on looking at faces is producing a copy and 'stealing other people's lifework' (without even paying them a cent! how dare they), unless it's so similar to serve as a substitute (among other considerations).

I'm not talking about the faces, I'm talking about CNNs in general. Surely these faces all look like generic anime faces, because that's what you trained on. On the other hand, if you trained on the works of Van Gogh with his very distinctive style, that would easily be discernible.

Also, the very fact that it is not a human doing this task is very relevant for copyright, as you point out yourself.

Note that I'm not saying this is illegal or that this violates copyright, I'm saying that there is no case law on this, so you can't just claim that there is no issue here. It's undecided. It comes down to the intention behind copyright. Furthermore, even if you can dodge copyright law, you may not be able to dodge trademark law.

> In contrast, if you look at the faces, most of them don't have even a remotely similar exemplar in the dataset (you can do nearest-neighbor lookups using features or pixels, and GAN papers often do to demonstrate that they are not just 'memorizing' - I discuss this in my FAQ section).

Again, your argument fails the general case. Overfitting and memorizing is a problem when working with CNNs. Some CNNs may just literally copy - and visibly so. At which point are you not just literally copying? What's the "legal threshold" here? It would have to be decided on a case-by-case basis, just like a "fair use" defense.
Programming and programming languages are in a big portion subject of social sciences anyway. Made for the needs of humans used by humans in groups with practices and methods addressing the particularities of humans and human groups. Not ordinary humans but humans indeed. Probably it is more of social science than mathematics or other human independent matters. Social science that is using other disciplines, similar to economics, but at least an interdisciplinary subject.

Agreed, not below usable though.

Some more: rolling upgrades of k8s (said to not affect the uptime of the cluster) not being rolling in actuality, allowing upgrades when the service principal is expired thus preventing the nodes from being added to the LB, certain aks versions not being upgradable requiring you to recreate the cluster from scratch ...
Good thing that's not relevant in general then.
really good interview
> Saying "they don't work" followed with "we need them" is especially blatant. It cancels itself out.

I have seen this lie/conflict of interest being told by Harvard medical board by the leaders of the disease fighting squad and I realized that I can't even know what other information I should believe from them.
Understood, and thanks for your feedback!

Some more details. This is my most risky investment approach, by design. I only put in money that I'm sure I won't need for at least another ten years. Not that it wouldn't really badly suck, at least psychologically, if I'd loose all that money (I'm not rich or anything), but I don't need it to "survive".

"Don't need" means that it is the money that remains after all my expenses, and after keeping my emergency fund in good shape (which is currently good for at least 6 months of emergency).

Also, this is not my retirement portfolio. It's a bet to multiply money I can risk.

For actual "at least I'm not going to end up poor" retirement stuff, I'm paying into the German state pension, "Riester" and other non-state pension products, and by holding real estate.

This is incorrect. The sequence test has low false positive rate and higher false negative rate. The positive results alone are significant and informative from a policy perspective. Combined with other measurements like CT, the accuracy can be high.

While I agree that those parts are funny, I would encourage people to read the entire complaint. In that same paragraph, for instance, you have some other, not-so-funny parts:

> I've lost 40lbs as my health has severely deteriorated as has my parents' as the stress, frustration, and depression have affected more than just me. I receive no dental and minimal medical treatment for my congenital heart defect. I've lost all my hair and what remains is turning gray - and all before I turned 30.

(Note that, while he didn't have much hair to begin with, court sketches do show him with gray hair[1]).

Sure, some of the complaints he presents are not super reasonable, but some of the other ones definitely are. And I believe that, if someone asked me to "write every single complaint you have about your three-years arrest", I'm not sure I would fare a lot better.

Again, you are questioning what other people are saying based on your hunch.

Feel free to ask for sources, but this whole smug tone "you're wrong because I got a hunch you are" is not really productive.
> that makes you realize what a mind-bogglingly large gamble this is with your savings.

Is it a gamble, really? I can't fathom what I could do with my money, should the world economy go to the gutter, big time. Holding cash surely won't help - cash can become worthless, did so many times in the past. Hard assets might help, but it's very tough to know which ones (cans of food maybe, but really? How much can you "invest" in it? And it's really just investing in the apocalypse... you're making a very shitty scenario slightly less shitty for yourself, _maybe_).

The thing is, all we can really do is hope that the future of the world's economy is good; if it isn't, there's really no rock-solid way to isolate yourself from the bad outcomes. Regardless how much you own now.
The mentality of some companies are beyond weird. If I hire a contractor, especially in tech sector, I couldn't care less what hours he does as long as the job is done.If I can't measure what the guy does in x days/month- I'm a tool in here. There are still too many managers out there who think that if a person sits all day staring at the monitor that equates working.
nCOV/COVID-19 is not a flu let alone "a very mild flu" stop spreading this bullshit.
Let's first ensure we do all possible things as a species and a collection of communities to restabilise Earth and give ourselves a 99.5% chance of healthful survival for the next 200 years, which is probably the reasonable timeline until we can establish more or less independent non-Earth habitats that can survive without Earth indefinitely.

This is like expressing the wish of wanting to run while simultaneously ignoring the fact that your hands are uncontrollably stabbing your legs with safety pins.
Great practice. :)
>how would you test an algorithm?

You can send out drivers that test if it works well. And then you can record that data, and check what is causing the issues and add these frames as test data?

But the testing IMHO is a bit too late. You need UX designers and psychologists giving inputs from the start. You need SW quality by design, not by process. You need to rid yourself of any management layers that don't understand software.
In Denmark yesterday a couple of kids in the same class in a school were tested positive, they closed the classroom - not even the school.

I would certainly like to see the example of a country able to learn from the mistakes of others.
SXSW, South by Southwest music festival was cancelled (sadly so, but good), amongst other events, but definitely not enough yet.
I was referring to the fact that nobody died fothe flu the last time it was around. usually, at least over here, you don't conduct that level of testing.

Which indicates one really big issue. People are, for a large degree, scared by numbers now. Not because the nmbers look black death level bad, but rather because there are no numbers on stuf like, say, the flu or some other disease out there to compare them against. Not blaming people for it, that's just how numbers work, not just for diseases.

bad thing is, nobody is addressing this, or anything else related to testing, numbers and so on, in the public. Which includes TV, internet, papers... Instead we have fake news spreading. This fake news is then erroding trust in official information. And as a reult you have to sides, one that believes the virus is at most a flu and the other one believing it will at least be the spanish flu if not the black death. Both are wrong, but the true facts are not getting through. Also the official information is badly presented.

You didn't merely ask for a source.

You asked for a source accusing me that I was spreading fake news because of some right-wing.

Anyway, I gave you a few pointers, look them up and you'll find everything you need. I am not spending more time for someone that immediately assumes my bad faith.
Can you elaborate?

I'm half-way through it. I know most of the general stuff already but my knowledge is from lots of sources I mostly forgot. This books seems to be a good collection for this topic. At least, I don't know any substitute.
So I made simple experiment in ghci (the "$" operators is a function application: f $ g $ x === f(g(x))):

Prelude> let relu x = (x + abs x)/2
Prelude> let res x = x - relu x
Prelude> let f x = res $ res x
Prelude> map f [-2..2]
[-2.0,-1.0,0.0,0.0,0.0]
Prelude> let res x = x + relu (negate x)
Prelude> let f x = res $ res x
Prelude> map f [-2..2]
[0.0,0.0,0.0,1.0,2.0]
Prelude> let f x = res $ res $ res x
Prelude> map f [-2..2]
[0.0,0.0,0.0,1.0,2.0]
Prelude> let res x = x - relu x
Prelude> let f x = res $ res $ res x
Prelude> map f [-2..2]
[-2.0,-1.0,0.0,0.0,0.0]

The networks pass different inputs, actually.

I have to add that you cannot have zero mean outputs of residual layer with the definition res x = x + relu (Ax + b). In that case outputs will have non-zero mean and subsequent layers will have to correct for that.
There will always be jobs. Just less unnecessary ones, more jobs revolving around saving money. Some people are getting rich off a recession, so people will still spend on luxury jets and wagyu steak.

Advertising will still be hot - companies will need money, so FB, Google will still do well. Anything that saves money will do well. Anything that raises efficiency and doing more with less manpower will do well.

My wife sells cheap lasagna and her business is absolutely booming now, especially since things like KFC has become a luxury.

It's also a good time to hold on to cash, gold, and possibly crypto if you expect deflation.
Problem with exponential growth is that you can be a little off in the exponent and be totally off in the result. Such is the fragility of any assumption about exponents being "small".
While IANAL, there’s more to selling a product than just shipping.

For example, if you have a website that caters to European users, it may be subject to EU regulations, for example GDPR.

What’s written inside your book may also matter. For example, your book may contain a picture of a swastika in the US and be perfectly legal. But at the same time, selling that book to a German customer may be a criminal offense under German law.
You're probably right, but as a non audio/video person, I'm trying to stay away until the next version.

FWIW, I agree with your argument (I guess).

Regular expressions are complex and oftentimes a tool might be necessary to get a better idea of what an expression will match. However, if we were to make the language to describe them more verbose that'd still not solve this issue. Having a concise way to describe them is a good thing. Those who grok them can do so quickly without having to read several lines of a more descriptive language and those who need assistance can still plug them into a tool.
