It's better to think of linear regression and logistic regression as special cases of the Generalized Linear Model (GLM).

In that framework, they are literally the same model with different "settings" - Gaussian vs Bernoulli distribution.
awesome project! this is the HN that i've been looking for. the ask/new/show are burried in the original Hacker News but in here, it's balanced and a much better way to view the content. huge props!

another huge props is that you are from nepal, which i rarely see get represented.
If the government holds the private keys, don't they have that backdoor access to their own https traffic?
Another way to do it is to seal up hive and put gasoline in it (the fumes kill the bees). I've seen this done with a hive that had AFB.
IIRC you had to do server side push as Windows Phone 7 didn't support local notifications and always-on Internet connection. Some IM clients used some tricks to run in background, such as masquerading as a streaming audio player (that had always-on capabilities enabled) but you lost the music player capabilities of your smartphone when running those apps.

WP8 relaxed some of those restrictions but it wasn't enough to truly develop a IM client.

It's true that only Microsoft could create such integrations, but it was a business decision. On Windows Phone 7 era, regular developers couldn't deploy native code and you couldn't call native APIs directly from the managed .NET/Silverlight runtime. Native SDK wasn't available at all, but it was a regular Windows CE at its core.

Maemo's was way superior to Windows Phone. It's a shame that Microsoft trojan-horsed Nokia.
The point is that the only thing you can control, as the communicator, is the words you use. You can't control your audiences vocabulary and their interpretation, thus the onus is on the communicator to communicate their message, not the listener. It's up to the communicator to understand their audience and make the best faith attempt to communicate that they can, and to listen and learn how to communicate effectively to the intended audience after a failure occurs.

Another of the famous moments was when McCarthy called out Frederick G. Fisher, a young lawyer, as a proxy attack on his political opponent, Joseph Welch. "Before this moment, I never appreciated your cruelty," remarked Mr. Welch, noting, "you have sat within six feet of me and could have asked me about Fred Fisher." He asked the Senator: "Have you no decency, sir?"

He was offended, and thought it indecent, that this young man, a nobody and a nonentity, should have his name paraded front of the entire nation, accused of betrayal, his reputation jeopardized not by any proceeding undertaken for the sake of justice, but rather, in the mainfestly unfair court of public opinion, for the sake of his outrage machine.

Eighteen months ago this nation witnessed Nicholas Sandmann, a random eleventh grader from Covington, Kentucky, excoriated on national television. There are those who still believe it was justice, that the boy had it coming, and declare that he has a "punchable" face. If someone has stood up and called this indecent, it was little noted. CNN settled a lawsuit over the matter, but has not issued an apology; our outrage machine has rolled on to other matters, and will continue to do so with little heed to justice.
Does its sandboxing support fake (or altered) access? That might be the additional permission control needed. For example, to grant fake access to the audio, the program will work but there will be no audio output (and all audio input will be silent); or you can specify to save audio to a file instead of making it immediately audible, or change the volume control for that program only.
I don't understand: you just did that. What was difficult about it?

(and I'll note that you spent a bunch of time mentioning ultimately irrelevant details. Being homeless, or in an area with feces and urine and cardboard probably aren't relevant to anyone responding. The important facts are that there's a person in need of immediate medical assistance, the area is potentially hazardous, and the person is being uncooperative).

Those are the three things that need to be conveyed.
Yup. Those have common place in Czech fairy tales.

Bill Machrone, the long-term editor of PC Magazine, coined something that came to be known as Machrone's Law: "The computer you want always costs $5,000." Over time, that $5K system got more and more tricked out to the point where you had to really start working to get to that price point maybe 10-15 years ago.

All of your points make great sense in theory, but in practice it rarely works out so smoothly.

> If it's an abstract data type, it doesn't have to be understood by the caller, it just has to be passed to another "lego brick" which understands the abstract interface. If it's a structured data-type, then there's no reason why it shouldn't be understood by the caller, the type should tell you how to consume it.

And this is exactly how any well constructed OO API works as well.

You can have really good and really bad APIs in any language, it really is up to the skill of the developers. I firmly believe that, there’s no language or tool that suddenly makes you create better things.

I have in my jobs interacted with high profile robust APIs in C++ as well as functional languages. They can be a joy to use when designed well, regardless of language.
The poster is right, though it takes a bit more work than briefly scanning the visa bulletin to figure it out.

The poster is likely referring to employment 2nd and 3rd preference workers of Indian nationality. The visa bulletin has a current wait time of 11 years. However, that is saying that someone who entered the line 11 years ago will qualify today. In the last 11 years vastly more Indian nationals have entered the green card line than have been processed out of it. It's not 100% clear how long someone who enters the line today will have to wait, but 50 years is a reasonable guess given the numbers.
I hit commit on that feature. Sorry.

It's not just Comcast. Every ISP that uses Akamai's software to power their ISP has this ability and possibly uses it, just not in obvious ways. And given that almost every ISP in the US, let alone the world, uses this software, well.. that's just how it is.

Though, it's http only. You can always switch to https and they can not do anything. There is no key injection or anything going on thankfully. Also, encrypted DNS should make it moot as well.

It was always this way. Intent.ACTION_PICK is API level 1:

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Inte...

But when you can integrate the picking into your app and avoid trying to learn a zero-permission approach because users just hit OK at install time anyway... why bother? And thus back in the day very little things used this, because there was very little reason to avoid just requesting every possible permission.
According to JD Power [1], Lexus is the most dependable 2019 brand. Dodge is the most improved, but its still lower in the list. And according to Consumer Reports study on 2020 models [2] Lexus is the most reliable brand but Dodge is in the top 10. The CR results are behind a paywall so here's a USA Today article covering the study [3].

Edit: Toyota does appear higher than Dodge in both studies.
"The burden of proof is on state power to justify itself." It seems very plausible that WL/Assange disclosed information irresponsibly, and if so, he should be held to account. The real concern is that I think we all know he isn't going to get anything resembling a fair trial; The Powers That Be are looking to send a message to any other would-be leakers and journalists with the audacity to challenge unaccountable state violence.

I also wonder what the RIAA and MPAA think of this? I know using a browser isn't ideal for piracy, but at the same time those two organizations are one of several major reasons why ISPs snoop on their customers.
This is an interesting story in terms of the details of how insurance valuates risk trying to function as a post-event risk mitigation mechanism. but there is a bypassing of a discussion of if it makes any sense for private entities to be the ones in our economy and society to be the ones mitigating this risk. For one, it makes little sense to pay private insurance to buffer for one class of remote risks, when what businesses (and society) needs is good general resilience measures for a whole set of potential correlated low risk / high impact events.

As to why didn't any but insurance for pandemics, one should think about the root causes on why the US does such a bad job of mitigate all sorts of general disaggregated risks of catastrophic health outcomes with universal healthcare, as well as why the nations of the world to varying degrees, basically don't mitigate the general correlated risk of climate crisis. Imo the private financialized insurance mechanisms are an inadequate risk mitigation tool for many issues.

> There's totally a middle ground between 'full access and no access'. Apps can show UIImagePickerControllers and CNContactPickerViewControllers whenever they want, without any permissions. They then get the photo[s]/contact info the user picks.

If they don't use this control you can also inject whatever photos you want into most apps using the share sheet. It does mean you have to exit the app and go to photos, but as you point out, it's the app maker's fault for not supporting the extremely privacy friendly `UIImagePickerController`.

>But when the economy, rights, and other major factors are considered, it looks less like a tradeoff and more like a betrayal.

This is just crazy. Every other major country in the world has essentially beaten the virus with mask wearing and lockdowns and the US is about to have another devastating wave of cases in almost every major city outside the Notheast because people like you that are astonishingly selfish and arrogant have flouted the process and actively oppose it. You're cutting off your head to spite your face.

The economic considerations are secondary, we are probably looking at 500K deaths by 2021. That's World War level of deaths and your complaining about lockdowns and masks? Wtf is wrong with you, seriously. Learn empathy. People are dying.

>Ask any microbiologist.

So you've gone from "not all experts agree" to "all microbiologists agree". This is very poor form.

>And adding Python support for S60 (PyS60) was best gift by Nokia

Yeah installing python interpreter in S60 on my Nokia N70 ME, motivated me to checkout Python programming book from my college library. As I was reading it in the class during break, the top-ranking girl student came across and asked me "Why Python, isn't it a dead language?"(circa 2006-2007) I assumed she must be right, I didn't write python until several years later; I bet she's using Python in her job now.
Start thinking about what you actually want to code for fun.

Write an outline of it, and the skills you'll need to accomplish each piece.

Focus on learning those skills while you are working professionally.

Keep learning until you feel comfortable working on your own project. It may take switching a few more jobs before you are that comfortable.

Then, start writing your project, and eventually quit working professionally so that you have more code juice for your own pursuits.

Office work may seem miserable, but if you play it right, it's like a more effective university that you also get a pretty good stipend for attending.

Good luck!
So you want to give them more money even if you know that money is systematically misused? Pakistan will become a vessel state of China, its totally inevitable. Pakistan is 1000x more valuable to China then it could ever by for the US.

The US should stop the idiotic believe that Pakistan is an ally. They simply are not, and have not been for a long time. It is well known that the support the Taliban. It is well known they are one of the main pushers of radical Islam. The only real value they ever had was to help against the Soviets when they invaded Afghanistan.

And to do that the US ignored the warnings that they were developing nuclear weapons and basically created anti-western radical Islam.
Most PCI audits don't require A/V on Linux/nix types systems. The majority of assessors don't ding you if you don't deploy, and the DSS standard is pretty clear:

5.1 Deploy anti-virus software on all systems commonly affected* by malicious software (particularly personal computers and servers).

Since the majority of *nix servers aren't commonly affected, there's no reason/requirement to deploy A/V. Now this doesn't mean your boss won't require it, "just to be sure."
It's worth noting that your source, The Epoch Times, is run by Falun Gong and is basically anti-CCP propaganda. I don't trust the Chinese government as far as I can throw them, but getting info from The Epoch Times has the same problem in the other direction.

A New Mindset for Application Security
Monopoly is semantically not very complicated. It's a fairly simple economic principle:

- Monopoly = Exclusive control of supply

- Monopsony = Exclusive control of demand

If you want to redefine it to popular things, you should reflect on your motivation to do so.
The one thing I have noticed about the PIA air crash is the effort some people have put into trying to explain the crash. Some of them have simulated the whole trip! It's quite depressing, especially since the errors are quite bizzare and the plane crashed into a residential area but thankfully no casualties in the areas.

A lot of this technique seems to overlap with the classic book How to Read a Book by Adler & Doren.

The only part that differs is they approach with trying to get a big picture rather than focusing on the only the parts you need.

I tend to agree with the Surgical Reading on focusing on the parts you need. Time is at such a premium that just in time learning is a great strategy.
They're both pilots, or, if you want to put it that way, both co-pilots. The ranks are typically "Captain" and "First officer" and what ought to matter in a well-trained team is Pilot Flying versus Pilot Monitoring (sometimes other phrasing is used but that name scheme is pretty clear what's happening).

It takes explicit training to overcome a human tendency to defer, and that means training for all crew and especially cockpit crew. This is called Crew Resource Management and it involves learning interpersonal skills that enable the team to prevent individual human errors from having grave consequences.

CRM is most often important in the cockpit, in this example to get the pilot flying the plane to agree that this approach is bad and they need to try a fresh approach.

But CRM extends beyond the cockpit because in some incidents it's vital to remember that the rest of the crew are experts too, just not in flying a plane.

One simple suggestion: make the columns collapsible.

For example, each column can have a "shrink" button that, when clicked, shrinks and allocates it to the side, thereby allowing the other columns to expand into that space.

This way a user can just view the columns they wish to see.
You're only hearing the transmissions they made (likely recorded via the ATC side). Any in-cockpit conversations/panic would not have been recorded, or at least not released.
I agree the first iPhones and Intel MBPs and Watches were not betas and were "fine," but the speed improvements in the following generations were just absolutely ridiculous. And at least for the Watch, significant features were added in the OS that the first gen simply couldn't handle.

Support for Macs is certainly longer term, so feature change between years shouldn't be that dramatic, but shipping anything for the first time at Apple's scale means they're going to stumble upon optimizations they missed the first time around. For that alone, I would avoid buying a first-gen Apple Silicon Mac.

I actually watched someone get a fake driver's license in the California DMV once a long time ago. (This was at the old location at the corner of Latham and Showers in Mountain View.) I was taking the wyritten test after having moved there, and there was a woman (around 18) also taking the written test and blatantly cheating. She had the book with the answers out in plain sight and was just reading them and discussing them with her friends who were also taking the test.

The DMV employee noticed and warned the woman to stop. She put the book away for a brief moment, then got it out again. The DMV employee saw all of this. The same thing kept happening, and the DMV employee kept giving toothless warnings. Finally, the DMV employee allowed the woman to turn in her test. As far as I know, assuming she passed the driving portion of the test, she got her license that day.
