It’s difficult but it’s not that hard and it’s well worth the investment. When I was flirting with founding a company I looked at this trade off and with hiring/overhead etc... it was significantly cheaper to roll our own than it was to use AWS. It was only cheaper at the earliest stage.

The only actual reason to use AWS is to not divert any energy to doing anything else but scaling the company. The only problem was that by the time you are at some reasonable scale, AWS has you pretty locked in.
My experience with russian or swedish is that the comments give a lot more insight on many excercises and what it is they are trying to teach and the grammar part of things. If you just chug along without taking the time to browse around then very little remains with you.

Deepfake used for parody is almost certainly protected by the first amendment under US law. So legally that is a very important distinction. (Morally, well, that's not a productive thing to debate on the internet usually)

In the US, the media is almost entirely run by private corporations.

If you feel that is a mistake it's probably a better use of your time advocating for better funding and more independence for public media than criticizing corporations for exercising oversight of their platforms.

I'm not being pedantic. In this case, a relevant factor that you consider irrelevant out of convenience is being ignored. Call it pedantic all you want. It matters.

Not all states locked down, at all. That matters. Travel between states, for the most part, fell to record low rates. This happened voluntarily, before legally mandated lockdowns were triggered.

You asked "what would have happened if we hadn't locked down."

I pointed out that not all places locked down, and many locked down later.

"Trying to tease out the data your asking for isn't possible due to inadequate reporting, inadequate testing, and the fact that travel between states is free"

It's not hard to look at the Johns Hopkins data set, which contains data at the county level for the US. Not much "teasing out" to do there. It's right there. If we use admitted cases as a benchmark for actual infections, assuming it's proportional at a relatively constant level, it's not hard to do.
And even that could be skewed by the more at risk populations fleeing for the relative safety of the suburbs and then dying there.
> You’re likening the deletion of a video on a private free video hosting site to state-sponsored book burning?

I'm likening the effect on the respective audiences. The book burning aspect is for the video's comments, a.k.a. debate by many members of society.

As for Google being private, they employ a sizable number of lobbyists to influence public policy.
You don’t have to be out of money to raise funds, so I question that you have to spend the money. You can raise with years of runway, provided that you have a compelling story about how you’re going to put the additional funds to use creating value.
If you want to see such a fleet of grounded planes in person, it's worth going to Tucson to visit Pima and take a tour of the Boneyard at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. Pima is a normal museum admittance but the on-base bus tour requires preregistration and a background check.

For now since we can't travel, I definitely recommend taking a look in google maps satellite view:

having an independent organization does not imply being above criticism. even the government is not above criticism. what matters is how likely it is that the criticism will actually result in a change if there was a wrong decision made.

as it stands, google is already above all criticism because they are to big to be approached by any individual wronged by their decisions. an independent organization would be much more approachable, even if that approach ends up being a lawsuit.

Honest question (though I suppose the clickthroughs to the comments are likely to be a biased sample): is "getting to prod" really the gatekeeper/bottleneck for most ML? I would have thought "a model that works" is much harder, especially given how hyped the field is and how many people are trying to tackle problems that are I'll suited to the current batch of ML techniques.

Unless the issue here is data collection in prod to start training your model.

I do this too. I find the best way to get close to “the truth” (when it even exists) is to read diametrically opposed sources. I accept that every source is biased, if not outright, then at least by selection.

You can learn a lot about agendas and infer biases by seeing what stories one source is publishing, and another source is choosing not to publish.
Is this a bad thing? Birth rates in developed countries are low as is. Take away the free day care and they will likely drop further.
This has been my experience-- I don't check Amazon and stop for almost anything at this point because I often find computer hardware might be cheaper elsewhere. Newegg is hit and miss but sometimes comes out way ahead-- I saved $100 on a monitor by going Newegg instead of Amazon, even after shipping.

Groceries? I find that Amazon almost never wins there compared to the local grocery chain. That most certainly is going to end up being a "where you are right now" kind of thing compared to computer parts.
> breaking 634x127 into (600+30+4)(100+20+7)

For some people, this is simply too abstract. You can teach children the breakout method or normal method, their understanding doesn't change. They're just memorizing one procedure over another. The ability to analyze how to operations work doesn't improve with common core, it's just more steps.

I've seen this first hand. I taught long division to a younger family member that was struggling with whatever nonsense method common core cooked up (something about boxes and dots and circling stuff). They had literally never seen long division, I taught them to divide the same numbers they had on the page in front of them in less than 10 minutes, and they could arrive at the correct answer consistently. I asked the kid to explain the procedure of what they were doing for the common core, they had no idea and lacked the ability to articulate the process whatsoever.

> This is a vile attack to a person that seems to have reach some kind of success.

Is it a vile attack to just tell everyone, "Hey, this guy who has a sensitive govt surveillance contract shot up a synagogue with his skinhead gang and never went to prison for it"? Those are all facts. You perceive them as an attack because they reflect terrifying, repulsive behavior.

The alternative is not to report it because it makes him look bad, but... doesn't he deserve to look bad, especially if he didn't do any time in prison?

> I heard somebody says that in these days the standards are too high.

"You should not get a government contract if you were a dangerous skinhead" is not a high standard. Almost every human who has ever lived can meet this standard. I have personally found it incredibly easy to get through life's hardships without shooting at a synagogue. So have countless other people who would love the same contract this guy got.

> The world does not need more of that. It needs more compassion.

If you think compassion is finite, as some people do, then who should we spend it on? Should we lose sleep over ex-skinheads, or should we worry more about their intended victims?

I don't really see why we need to shed tears over people exposed for things they did. No one is smearing him -- just talking about what he did. People may change, but the facts of their life don't.

If you think compassion is infinite, then I'm not sure your suggestion makes sense anymore. If compassion were free, we would have more of it in the world.

> I believe people can change and I believe in forgiving those that try their best to become better human beings.

Absolutely! I agree 100%.

However, he continued hanging out with skinheads even after joining the military, and it's not really clear he feels remorse beyond the "I got caught and now I have to apologize" angle we're seeing in the news now.

Why hasn't he been working with anti-skinhead orgs? Why hasn't he written about his mistakes at length, like Sen. Robert C. Byrd, who was a Klansman and white supremacist as a younger man? Surely if a long-serving senator can rehab his public image, so can this guy.

The algorithm in the article has an important bug. It’s a basic search: pop an element from a queue, see if it’s a match and, if not, push two new elements. If the queue is empty, declare failure. Think about this for a moment. Each iteration, the queue length increases by one. Of course it’s never empty. So the algorithm will eventually declare success on a positive input and will run forever on negative input. It has to be this way, since PCP is equivalent to the halting problem. There is no algorithm that solves it correctly and always halts. This is the whole point.

This means that this program does not prove that parsing C++ is undecidable in the way the author thinks. There is no term that is a type or a value depending on the solution to an undecidable problem. Instead, there is a term that can not be resolved in finite time. This is a necessity property of pretty much any Turing-complete metaprogramming system.

(What I think is actually going on that’s a bit unique to C++ is that C++ cannot be parsed unambiguously. The fact that the grammar depends on whether a term is a type or value and that you can’t determine this from the AST without doing things like expanding templates is nasty.)

"planning to be profitable" in this situation means that the financials are losing less money each month and at an identifiable point in time breakeven and beyond will occur.

I'll tell you, I got the virus and it is no laughing matter. I got it at the end of February, and these almost 8 weeks have been some of the worst time in my life (and I was in the hospital as a kid for an accident where I lost a body part, and later in life I had a chronic anal fissure for more than 3 years) .

Coronavirus is nasty, I'm still not recovered and feeling my lungs I am afraid I'll have permanent sequels. I'm 39 y old non smoker , non overweight and with decent activity (10,000 daily steps before this hit me).

I would do EVERYTHING in my power to prevent people from experiencing this. Specially my family. Given how contagious it is I am afraid society is not doing enough at the current panic level...

I hope you dont have to directly or indirectly suffer it.

>> I've seen this first hand. I taught long division to a younger family member that was struggling with whatever nonsense method common core cooked up (something about boxes and dots and circling stuff).

Yeah, this is happening to my oldest child - they're on multiplication and division and when I showed them short and long division, they had no idea what I was doing. Common core mathematics is far more memorization and repetition. You don't derive how to actually solve the problem. It's shocking to me that this is the sole method we're teaching kids.

EDIT: And I actually like the Common Core methodology. But it's very mathematically incomplete.

That's a big part of it. My kid goes to a British international school. Starting in Year 5 all students are required to have a laptop. So when the shutdown happened they all had devices already and were adept at using them. Teachers had some learning curve but it only took about a week to get online learning working pretty smoothly. Contrast that with public schools here that just shutdown and said they would do classes online when most public school kids here don't have a computer. Most have phones and a data plan so they are trying to do lessons via Line or Facetime. But that seems to be very ineffective.
That's interesting. Were these two hardware outputs from the same audio device, or two different computers? It's true built in audio on most mobos is notoriously bad, and most musicians and podcasters use an external audio interface. I would imagine those don't suffer the same problems (plus they usually support higher bandwidth), though at that point the cost becomes non-negligible.

For me Serverless has replaced 99% of servers and there's no going back. I have absolutely no desire to run, maintain, update and monitor servers or server processes. Once you deploy an app to AWS Lambda and API Gateway, it keeps running basically forever. The main reason for that is that there is no state (except for what is stored in DynamoDB, which in turn AWS takes care of). And thus your application is always in the same state as when it was deployed, without memory leaks or handle leaks or escaped background threads or anything like that.

The remaining 1% are apps that require a persistent TCP or UDP connection with some protocol that AWS doesn't support in its Serverless services, or that require keeping some state in RAM, e.g. for online gaming.

The parent is one data point. Perhaps the one kid leans on school for social connections at this point in their life? Some kids are loaners (but still need social connections) others are very social.

Another commenter pointed out that there were only a few school-aged kids in their neighborhood. I noticed when I graduated high school there weren't many younger school-aged kids in my neighborhood even though I grew up with a good number of people nearby. When my sister moved into a newly built neighborhood when they had kids other young families moved in, too. I think neighborhoods tend to cluster with families, it cycles and may not always catch on every generation and some kids get stuck.

Those situations sound incredibly depressing, but I don't think it necessarily reflects all of society.

> Regardless of if this video should be censored, these guys are awful scientists.

This is the exact reason why it shouldn't be censored. Because if their science is bad then it needs to be available for people who know better to tear it to shreds.

If you take it down then the story can't be "this is why they're wrong" because what they said isn't available anymore, so a rebuttal isn't believable because you can't tell if it's an accurate representation of the original presentation.

So then the story becomes about censorship and you're making it all too easy for motivated people to spin a conspiracy theory about how these scientists are speaking truth to power and getting oppressed, even if they are in actual fact totally wrong.
