If the pricing on insurance isn't dynamic, and gets within the weather window, you can use a 3-day prediction to place a high-likelihood bet that the flight will be cancelled.

Particularly if the insurance sticks with the ticket such that it can be moved if unused.

1. See a bad storm coming in.

2. Buy a fully refundable ticket for the day the storm is going to hit.

3. Buy insurance on that ticket.

4. Storm hits? Cash in.

5. Storm doesn't hit? Change the date on the ticket and the insurance moves with it.

> If such a mechanism existing it would be documented

Why would it? It's an internal functionality, and CPU usually have a 1 year warranty or so, and I'm not sure they really have guaranteed FLOPS, only frequency I guess. If it's tightly coupled to trade secrets, I would not expect this to be documented. I also doubt that you could find everything you want to know in a CPU documentation.

> There is no actual evidence

The wikipedia article I mentioned, physics is enough evidence.

> If a single gate fails in a CPU

I did not say fail, I meant "miscalculated". There is a very low probability of it happening, but it can still happen because of the high quantity of transistors, hence error correction.

> Such redundancy is so incredibly expensive from a power and chip area point of view

Sure it is, so what? At one point all CPU need it and it becomes necessary. There are billions (I think?) of transistors on a CPU.

Whilst in theory, I'm neutral to the change on ethical grounds, I think in practice it will make things very confusing.

Master/Slave is such an established pair of terms in tech that they have a loaded meaning as soon as you see them.

If I see 'Master' and 'Slave' on an old hard disk, I know what that is. If I see "Configure one device to the master setting and the rest to slave.", I get a understanding of the relationship for free.

I don't think we will get that with replacement terms, at least not in the short term, and we're just setting ourselves up for confusion.

This is a bad example because discriminating against people with purple hair is absurd on its face, and doesn't lead people to question why that should be allowed.

Here are some better examples:

1. A big and tall clothing store that discriminates against smaller customers.

2. A cafe that discriminates against people who are assholes (to the staff).

3. A retailer that does lots of business on the weekends that discriminates against hiring people who can't work weekends for non-religious reasons (e.g. because they have a sports league they do on Sundays).

4. A restaurant that discriminates against people with vegan/carnivore/keto/raw food/etc. diets by not having acceptable meals they can eat.

5. An airline that discriminates against obese people by making them pay for as many seats as they are actually using.

A lot of "discrimination" is reasonable. Anti-purple-hair prejudice is not.
You're right that I do not know the history. It might not be historically true but I would argue that's irrelevant to the conversation. (even as non relevant the conversation is to begin with!) Current perception is what matters.

Beyond that, seems like if it actually did refer to a master/slave architecture, it seems like there would be more reason to keep it describing what it is. Maybe the term invokes some violence but so does the kill command.

This would be a good way to watch sales techniques being applied and decide on how to transition. Making friends on the sales team could build your sales network too.

> Sure, if there's someone hanging out by themselves then de-escalate and do whatever. The moment there are innocent people in harms way though, that calculus changes.

No, it's not that simple. Police escalation itself can put innocent people in harms way. The police can shoot, miss, and kill innocent bystanders. Escalation can provoke a criminal to start shooting and kill innocent bystanders or police. That's not to mention the now better-documented situations where the police escalate against someone who's not a threat and murder them in the process.
Thank you! This looks really cool!

In my case, I'm not a researcher or even a computer scientist (EE). I'm just a person with a curiosity in various topics. I find the language in papers to be a big barrier. Even cludgy bad code in ten different languages is more readable to me than the strange symbols and vague diagrams.

I agree with you that this is research and there's no reason for it to be pretty. The fact that it's unsightly and brittle makes a lot of people reticent about sharing it online since it could reflect on the quality of their non prototype code. Maintenance is a large burden and once the original goal of the paper has been proved, there's little benefit to the researcher to keep the code around, so I understand why they might say let's not release it at all.

A recent example of this was I was building a gesture classifier using an accelerometer to generate data. I decided do use an svm as based on what I had read, it would be the simplest to port to the microcontroller I was using. I was getting decent performance but needed to extract better features. I found several papers talking about the topic with some novel ideas and their impressive results. While it was nice to know that accuracy could get that high, none of the papers explained how the features they extracted were made. It was usually a one or two sentence line about using both time and frequency domain data.
Zoom's (Over)Valuation?
Zoom has a 65B billion dollar market cap with a sales of 622M. The PE ratio is at 1300. Comparatively, Microsofts PE ratio is around 30. As a software engineer, I don't see their product as particularly unique or difficult to duplicate.

Their stock price is has jumped from 68 in January to 238 in June.

In my opinion, it's one of the biggest valuation bubbles I've seen. I want to hear from people who disagree with me.

Yeah I agree this looks like one of those times where the researches aren't interested in doing the stats at all so just mail it in.

Just ignoring the stats though the results seem pretty solid. 3x the number of citations with ~100 observations. If the tweets were truly randomly assigned and there aren't big outliers driving results (big ifs, not gonna go deep enough to find out), their conclusion should be fine.
That's just one benefit. The main one is to run a sustainable business.

I guess this is the reason lot of corporates try to stay out of politics. Because once you set a precedence then people will use that as to push their own political agendas. I personally don't like the slippery slope argument since it's very lazy and justifies inaction in many cases. But at the same time when I see news like this, I just wonder how long it will take two different subgroups trying push their own conflicting agendas and how the company should react in such a case.

For a rather complete view of what deep learning still does not do, I recommend the work of Gary Marcus and Ernest Davis.

> “I don’t think I would characterize the conduct as rogue, because as seen in the complaint, the directive to do something about this goes pretty high up the chain within eBay,” said Lelling. The couple then received a host of deliveries aimed at intimidating them. “These deliveries included fly larvae and live spiders, a box of live cockroaches, a sympathy wreath on the occasion of the death of a loved one, a book of advice on how to survive the death of a spouse, pornography mailed to their next door neighbors but in the couple’s names, Halloween masks featuring the face of the bloody pig, and the pig fetus which was ordered, but after an inquiry by the supplier, thankfully, wasn’t ever sent,” Lelling said.

Some of these things basically constitute death threats, and the orders to do it came from up top. What is the meaningful difference between eBay and a mafia? That eBay doesn't make good on their threats (as far as we know)? The whole organization should be dismantled for this.
I guess it depends on what you mean by shoot themselves in the foot. There are major differences in philosophy and bar the "superficial" differences these are quite different projects.

For one nix simply doesn't have a project focused on bootstrapping. As another example compare rust bootstrapping[0] versus using a rust binary[1]. Nix also has no alternative to guix challenge[2] or guix pack[3]. Even a comparison of their documentation shows this difference.

The question is if you consider these measures useful, and if you think bootstrapping is even an issue in the first place. To me this is the bigger question when comparing the two projects, as depending on your philosophy guix is either taking necessary precautions or unnecessary mitigations.

Given posts like this their marketing is okay, I haven't seen much unnecessary childishness - but both projects are fundimentally complicated thus have to invent words for concepts and there's nonguix[4] and most people run nix on GuixSD for their non free software needs.

I doubt guix will be more popular than nix anytime soon, but I don't think NixOS will be more popular than Arch anytime soon either.

I feel myself on the verge of changing opinion on this topic.

From unrelated Internet browsing the last few days I learned that someone (Wiesenthal institute maybe) successfully (I think) fronted a campaign against a company reusing the word Zyklon as a brand name.

Reading your excellent comment now brought up that again and what do I know: maybe the word master does bring up so strong emotional responses in people that we should avoid it. I'm actually serious here, and maybe I'm dumb for not connecting the dots before.

On the other hand, I'm really not sure if it would be a great idea to let anyone, including my 20 years younger self, decide what words should be allowed and not for everyone in the world?

I'm actually serious about this and if I change my mind it wouldn't be the first time here.

Let's agree to disagree because in my practice:

- Teams: Less experienced developers will use fancy features trying to be smart. Every subset of the language finds it way on Pull Requests I review.

- People change teams

- People change companies

- Third party code: It's not realistic to filter out libraries based on their use of the language. Who even has time to review that? Not to mention that high quality libraries are scarce enough that if you start to filtering out libraries you often end up with none.

And the code doesn't have to be "exotic or inscrutable" to be a negative. It just needs to be unnecessarily of high cognitive load for it to impact use of the language. I've seen Swift developers squint at Pull Requests trying to gasp what certain part of the code was doing. It ended up being needless sugar and in turn a bit of everyone's time was wasted.

That mindset of "just pick whatever part of the language suits you" is why C++ is what it is.

The meaning should be assesed in today's context, not based on an obscure piece of software that existed decades ago, and most people have never heard of.

The person could be factually wrong, but in a cultural sence he is correct - the word has another meaning.
That's not the definition of "rule of law" or it would be punishable to break the spirit of the law instead of the "letter" of the law.

This is a lot like the difference between tax evasion (breaking letter of the law) and tax avoidance (breaking the spirit of the law).

It's also arguable that hedge funds exist to arbitrage the difference between the spirit of contractual arrangements (thou shalt not use pension funds to take out massive loans) and the letter of contractual arrangements (god only knows what you can and can't do with the company pension fund, but you can probably bribe the prosecutor to agree with you).

So, it's normal business practice for businesses and the wealthy to rip others off. The difference between them and us is they have better lawyers and are able to bribe prosecutors who have a different interpretation of the letter of the law.

Better laws are not going to level this playing field because the problem is largely how we practice law and all major parties support the status quo.
I don't think any reasonable person is suggesting we fully defund or disband the police. They are suggesting that by giving police military style gear it incentivizes them to use it.

Instead of giving the police this crazy gear, we should redirect that money into training for the police. Or maybe some of it should go to schools.
It seems like the solution to this is to implement both but charge customers to use the DigiCert chain. "Oh, you went and pinned something that you shouldn't have? That's fine; you can either fix it yourself or pay us to support your mistake."
> why haven't Breonna Taylor's killers been charged and put in jail, or at the very least quickly fired?

Because they are "innocent until proven guilty". It's not as if they've been going on calls and continuing to kick in doors - the investigation was handed to the FBI (a federal body) and the officers were put on leave until that investigation is finished.

If they are fired and it turns out they were acting lawfully, then the people who fired them will get sued and lose.

> In general you're repeating talking points about fragments of what I said

I'm addressing specific cases and claims you make. We can argue loudly about whether or not the police play Rambo but that's not a productive thing we can debate. I can make specific claims about what is in police contracts versus what it is not and falls under QI or other federal law which supersedes local authority.

The issue is that you feel you are correct, and to that end you're making broad unspecific claims that aren't factual - literally not a matter of true or false but fundamentally so vague so as to not have meaning.

> There are obviously mundane procedural answers for these, but added up it's a very lopsided contract allowing the police to play Rambo with impunity.

That's a great example of exactly what I'm talking about. We have to care about mundane procedural answers. We can't just sacrifice someone to appease the angry mob.

US police-caused deaths seem to run at the rate of several airliner's worth of people a year. The problem seems to be the exact opposite of a safety culture: there is no systematic review of what happens, what factors led up to it, what could have been done differently. The police routinely lie about events with no consequences, even when contradicted by video or other evidence.

We cannot even get the police to agree that the deaths represent failures: they will usually dig up or even fabricate anything negative about the victim to imply that he or she deserved to die. You can see this happening in the comments here too.

It is not suprising that people want to ground the police.

I'm sorry but this is a gross misunderstanding/misrepresentation of what Obergefell v. Hodges was.

First of all, Obergefell was a ruling that the Due Process clause of the 5th Amendment and Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment extended protections to same-sex couples. Nothing to do with licenses.

You're thinking of the Full Faith and Credit clause of the Constitution, which was never ruled on with respect to gay marriage. We got close to it with US v. Windsor, but that ruling struck down the whole of DOMA under due process and equal protection, and did not create any kind of binding precedent with regards to the FF&C clause.

Secondly, the text of the FF&C clause is:

Full Faith and Credit shall be given in each State to the public Acts, Records, and judicial Proceedings of every other State. And the Congress may by general Laws prescribe the Manner in which such Acts, Records and Proceedings shall be proved, and the Effect thereof.

Your question is whether a concealed carry permit would be considered a "public Act, Record, or judicial Proceeding" of the issuing state, and I am telling you I don't think you could get a single court to agree with you that it was.
