I think the problem is that a lot of site owners simply aren't aware that Facebook (and others) provide these widgets as tracking tools. It's certainly not how they're marketed to site owners.
This might not be obvious, but the name appears to be a pun in Italian on the name Giulietta (Juliet), known for cars and for the shakespearean play.

When driving to a beach in Europe, google once tried routing me through a small two-story house. And possibly into a cliff wall, the house sort of blocked the view of how "the road" went from there...
Some parts of my house are 200 years old (according to architect). That's truly mind blowing to see that it's still up !

Fun fact : when your house is so old, you have to take care of it the old way too... It's more expensive and nobody wants to do the job 'cos it's always trickier than new houses :-)
Depends on your use case, but for outdoor mapping, I really like MapOut.
> But on the other hand complex models such as Neural Networks are being used for very wide datasets with incredible amounts of parameters, so that understanding a single parameter's contribution is not useful in the real world.

In the near future AI and statisticians will need to cooperate by:

1. Finding means for extracting rules/general principles from neural networks.

2. Creating new fields of statistics that can handle multi-dimensional data sets, such as by representing them as small-dimensional datasets that interact (?), which converges to the same multidimensional model when the modeler sutures these interactions (?) together according to a topological structure.

We know that we can do this because somehow human beings reason about complex systems successfully.

It's generally due to reciprocity, so states that allow exchanging German licenses will be much more likely to be on the list, and vice versa.
That’s the same set of technology. SPARQL is used to query RDF graphs, that’s pretty tightly coupled.
Maybe it's distributed systems thinking, but they should really paint six more of these copies so that we can withstand a random failure of any three.
I've built many side projects with absolutely no "business model". Sometimes it's just fun to make something for the fun and the learns. I think people forget that.

It's exciting to see people using these things, but a 1k bill would suck. It's definitely a learning experience, but saying "you should have had a different business model" is a little unfair. If we started every project thinking like that the internet would miss a load of the interesting, weird stuff it has.
YMMV really. OSM in the UK has orders of magnitude more cycling and walking data than Google, for example, but fewer buildings. I don't generally find I need buildings in my day-to-day mapping needs but everyone's different I guess.
there is no contracting as you might be used to from other jurisdictions such as Germany. All invoices run through umbrella companies of which you'll be a permanent employee. you can set up your own Ltd (GmbH) however I'm not familiar with any freelancer that goes that route. I own a "sarl" set up in Geneve and I live in Zug (whenever I'm there) but since we have employees it is a different use-case and taxes are very low in Zug. I urge you to talk to an accountant in case you do anything other than become an employee (regardless of that read up on the tax burden before settling for a flat).

the rent is high all over the cities but salaries usually reflect high cost of living.

you might be working with people in the banking sector or even get a gig in a bank yourself. In that case you should read "Treasure Island" to understand some of the conservative mindsets (and ethical dilemmas) of the region. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasure_Islands:_Tax_Havens_a...

Let me plug OpenLayers, which uses OSM and is way harder to use than google maps but once you stop hating on it you realize it can do a bunch of things that google maps really can't and is more versatile in numerous ways - ymmv as always. (https://openlayers.org/en/latest/examples/).

I've found it more useful for specific applications that I build because it's far more customizable. The map truly feels like it's part of the app and not just some mapbox or leaflet thing sitting on top of gmaps. Again, these aren't hard facts, just stylistic preferences on my part.

The ES6 is not really a dealbreaker if you're using something more traditional. I just make my own "map.js" that exposes the interfaces I need, then I transpile it and include it like anything else.

I know that sounded really complicated, but my package.json is 10 lines, that's it.

This way you can use it in a much more conventional classical way without jumping the whole project over to ES6 syntax.
I think history and democracy has successfully showed us that it's impossible. The solution is to forbid growth.
In my other life I used to manage bunch of developers while still developing myself. My criteria for hiring them generally was not their proficiency in particular tool but ability to grasp programming concepts in general and ability to grok any particular tool in short time. Practical experience in particular areas of course was a big plus.

Over the time this strategy proved beneficial. My team ended up having the highest salaries and bonuses in the company along with being given most interesting projects (developing new products from scratch as a rule).

I still went on my own after some time as I could not really tolerate that employer/employee style of interaction.
This is really nice write-up, much better than yet-another-skin-deep-sklearn-tutorial. Skimming some other posts of the author, his domain understanding looks quite impressive to me.

(Judging his writing as an ex-academic econometrician Data Scientist, about to be rebranded to Machine Learning Engineer by his megacorp employer, the author appears to have more insight in the field than many a PhD professional Data Scientist.)

If this doesn't apply to the UK as well, it is not enough. I would like to see a flyover ban as well, as PIA flies through the EU to the UK.

I'm following the aviation industry closely and there are plenty of reports every now and then where PIA flights don't respond on radio anymore, triggering fighter intercepts. It is assumed that those pilots are oftentimes either sleeping or just don't bother because of their ego, which was built in their former careers as military pilots.

I don't want to have PIA planes crashing into others or falling on my head.
This pricing change from Algolia makes it easier for low-volume search users or someone who is just getting started to use their enterprise features, but at the same time as the parent mentions, makes it an order of magnitude more expensive for mid-to-high volume users. Imo, this is a mismatch as there is already a trial in place for someone who's just getting started to try those features out.

For anyone interested in creating a search at scale, I would recommend checking us out at appbase.io (founder here :wave:) - we provide relevant search, analytics, and access control for search and are built transparently on top of Elasticsearch. It also doesn't hurt that we author some of the most popular open-source search UI libraries: https://github.com/appbaseio/reactivesearch

From the article: " In statistics, bad results can be wrong, and being right for bad reasons isn’t acceptable. In machine learning, bad results are wrong if they catastrophically fail to predict the future, and nobody cares much how your crystal ball works, they only care that it works."
Personally, I use Maps.me for simple tasks like finding street, shop or other POIs. OSMand is my favorite tool when navigating during cycling trips because of far more advanced rendering options. Both apps are great.
It takes many years and many people to build tools of that quality. Practically speaking it is way more easy to learn new language instead. I have no problem using Delphi and Lazarus for desktop applications. Saves me big amount of time.

Oh no, simpler than that even. The FORTRAN solution was also using somebody else's algorithm (matmul), which is intrinsic, and, I believe, not multithreaded. I'm not employed to develop matrix multiplication algorithms, but it will benefit me to know which tools work best.

Re Rust gotchas: the standard array container breaks with lengths > 32 - alright, it doesn't "break", but half of the traits, including really basic stuff - more basic than "add" - aren't implemented. So if you write something at small scale, then scale it up slightly - gotcha! And you can't easily reimplement them, either. Basically, the easiest way I've found to do it that way is to fork rustc.

That leaves using dynamic allocation, which I wanted to avoid, or external libraries (nalgebra), which aren't necessarily mature yet. And since type parameters are sometimes namespace separated, and sometimes not, and type specification is sometimes necessary, and sometimes not - examples work, but any tiny modification of them does not, because the example relied on type inference, and what looks like a type, and is declared as a type, is actually a generic.

The ostensible purpose of a “Like” button is to allow site visitors to more easily like the publisher’s content on Facebook. Aside from loading the static assets from their servers, there’s no reason for this to involve Facebook until someone clicks on the button.

The contention here is that adding surreptitious tracking code to this utility script amounts to illegal electronic surveillance (“wiretapping”), the same as if you had given someone a painting with a secret microphone and transmitter inside.
That only works in airports where the distance from the various gates is roughly equal to the reclaim area. Schiphol is definitely not one of those, from some gates it is 30 seconds to baggage reclaim, from others a stiff 10 minute walk.

I have started working for a big international company only recently and was quite surprised to learn that the clause "we own all IP you produce at any time including at home on your own equipment" is common in contracts. It is present in my contract as well.

It affected my motivation to work on side projects a lot. How do other devs deal with this? I'd like to write some code for fun at home at least sometimes, but arguing with the legal department just to put it in github is definitely not something I want to do in my free time.

Hi Marián,

We're looking to hire at Rawa.tv, and you seem to be a pretty good fit for what we're looking for.

We're a live streaming platform for gamers in the Arab world and have just closed our pre-seed. We're going to market in the coming weeks and are looking to scale our team/product.

See, that's exactly the kind of questions you could ask there. And it wouldn't take long before somebody would point out that forum discussions don't have real life-or-death impacts on people, and while policy without representation is a pretty good idea, applying it to non-policy discussion is just having a chilling effect on conversations. Plus a bunch of comments about the idea of policy and representation itself, positive and negative, which would likely be above my head.

But yeah, we don't have that anymore.

So post-ssc-takedown, I'm going to be human, emotional and biased and going to say that I'm personally opposed to any ideology that suggest we should discuss less.
I think you're suggesting that a great depression isn't the most likely outcome of the current crisis, to say that maybe my fears are unfounded because X, is fine, but to say I need psycological help because I see an outcome down the road that I think a lot of people see coming [1].

Its the same in many parts of the USA. For example in a college town with 50k students / 50k permanent population, streets are complete with sidewalks and bike trails etc., but good luck trying to find nearby restaurants by looking around the map, like you can do with google maps. Even the buildings which are marked with their name and type usually lack operating hours, phone number, website url and other sorts of info that GMaps has. But the situation is much better - close to GMaps level - in big cities here.
Just a note that you can interpret regularization as placing a prior on weights. L2 regularization is a Gaussian prior, and L1 is a Laplacian prior. I.e. this is doing Bayesian statistics rather than an arbitrary hack to improve predictions.

Elements of Statistical Learning is firmly in the frequentist world from what I recall, so this might not be discussed in that book.
I can see the rationale for this. Companies that publicly boycott Facebook harm Facebook's reputation (which in turn hurts Facebook's bottom line). These companies now pose a higher risk (given past behaviour) of publicly boycotting Facebook in future. So Facebook should insure against this risk by charging a 'boycott risk premium' (through higher advertising rates) for companies that are a proven public boycott risk.
A judge was heading the investigation and provided the legal go-ahead for the actions. The legal justification is twofold: evidence of organized crime uncovered in a preliminary investigation and (!) lack of declaration of cryptographic solution deployment , which is apparently a thing [0] when it’a not used for authentication or data integrity control!

I’m extremely surprised by the latter, it seems that one has to declare any operational use of cryptography when it’s not for those two uses.

As much as I like Reddit, it isn't a great place for having deep and reasonable conversations about anything nuanced. I largely attributed it to the upvote/downvote system and the pseudonymity, but it's probably as much to do with the moderation and the culture of the site. I do think it's a matter of identity and culture - people aren't there to learn to challenge their beliefs and learn new perspectives and discuss things. It's too easy to go from a post about some white trash pulling a gun on protestors where people are just blindly piling on the issue to a post about whether I should dump my boyfriend because he forgot to pick me up to a post about cute puppies. Compare that to something like SSC or LessWrong (even if it isn't perfect), where everybody knows why they're there and there are significant efforts both from the community and the moderators to uphold that.
Fair enough, I was just adding to the parent's comment about different cultural viewpoints, but I failed to consider your own perspective on its own. I think your point of view is valid.

That said, to get back to one of your original examples: at least where I live, even if there is a general speed limit of, say, 80km/h, you could still get in trouble for driving that speed under adverse condition, like ice, heavy rain, heavy fog or darkness. I think the rule is that you have to guarantee to be able to stop within half of the visible distance So it's not like the law is completely static either.
> I always use the example of masons whenever people complain that computer programming is hard work. Laying bricks is hard work, and not all that easy either.

I have worked some pretty tough summer jobs. Working in a garden centre it was normal to spend a whole day moving bricks and slabs from delivery pallets onto nicer retail pallets. While objectively it's much harder physically, it also much easier to guage progress and perhaps mentally more rewarding than having spent a whole day trying to wrestle a few bytes of information into the desired form. Even when you think you have succeeded you have a reasonable chance that something unexpected will come back to bite you in the ass.

It just list the states where one or both exams (theory, practical) are required (column 2 or 3 has "ja") or exempted ("nein"). If a state is missing (like California), a Cali licence holder needs to take both exams to get their licence converted to a German one.

I'm not sure if they'd have to do the whole driving school (there are mandatory 12 hours one has to drive in Germany, with a driving teacher), or if they can just pass the exams and get a German licence.

Interestingly, Switzerland converts all US licences with no exam requirements. I wonder if someone can move there, get their licence converted, and then move to Germany and convert their Swiss licence to a German one...
I always used to agree with this. But I've been listening to an audiobook that discusses this very topic and it seems there are good reasons for going with the most popular option in situations where you're aiming for the least downside rather than the biggest upside.

One example given is that if you're booking a flight for an executive "to New York" you should pick JFK, not because it's the best option, but because it's the most popular.

The reason is that if you pick Newark, say, and it all goes swimmingly, the best you can hope for is a "thanks!" .. whereas if there's a delay or some other problem, the person is likely to blame you for picking "a weird airport" (this story comes from a British perspective – I'm sure Newark is better known amongst Americans.. to reverse the story, it'd be like an American flying into Gatwick instead of Heathrow). If they got delayed at JFK, they're more likely to blame the airline, etc.

I'm thinking of digging into this a bit further as I think some of this explains why certain programming languages, tools, and services grow in popularity while others don't. AWS feels like the JFK of clouds, for instance. There's also the old "no-one gets fired for buying IBM" adage at play.

People pick AWS or JFK not because it's the best option but because it's guaranteed by popularity to not be the worst.
