Must still be upset about that Maradona goal (even though I haven't checked if the author is English, to be honest). And to partially get back on subject, I personally find those kind of enumerations that the OP mentions pretty boring and too intellectual, too mid-19th-century English writer that nobody reads out of pleasure anymore.
You can cut the number of pages you place adverts on by quite a number when you can raise prices (in fact, probably quite a lot of news brands could cut them from their news stories entirely and just have them on their lifestyle content, especially on advertorials which often only need minimal configuration on their end). The issue with scale is the physical act of identifying and buying.

The best kind of contextual advertising is direct buy aligned with the content. For that, you need a big sales team cutting deals - you can't just tell your one man-band digital marketer to plug some demo info into a bidding platform and be done with it.

My programmatic spend was probably 10x my largest direct buy, but was a simple 20 minute phone call with the buying agency vs a month long BS sales cycle with the company I was direct buying from (although the lunches are nicer...).
Timers can be useful, for example ensuring a slight (500ms) delay when a user expects an interaction to be non-instant (like saving or transmitting data). I wrote about this case here: https://medium.com/@graycoding/detect-slow-and-fast-asynchro...

This is fantastic, for many reasons, but the two that come immediately to mind are:

- amazingly good for security.
- finally the public at large will get to understand *in details* how an ASIC is designed.
I hope so, too!

Most likely a futile move. I think ByteDance will learn very soon that when the political will is ample, no amount of technical or legal maneuvering can avoid a state crackdown, in the US or elsewhere.

You won't be able to profitably mine Bitcoin on 130nm ASICs (just as an example)

130nm is almost 20 years old at this point. You can do amazing things with this process but saving power is probably not one of them.
Was Vine profitable though?
Can you elaborate on this? Are you saying these tools could be used to wrap a running process in such a way that you could tell apart individual print statements during runtime? (I haven't used the tools you suggest.)
I have a question. I know nothing about ML and neural networks so I'm going to excuse myself if the answer to this may be obvious.

The specificity of CT when interpreted by humans is reported to be <56% [1]. The specificity for this model seems to be around 80%, which looks too good to me (I did 79/(79+19)=0.8, taking the numbers from the table at the bottom in OP).

Is it that the non-Covid-19 scans in the training data were easier to recognize than the ones doctors see every day or is the model so much better than humans at recognizing non-Covid-19 cases? If it was the latter, the reduced sensitivity (human: 96% [1], model: 85%) would not look bad at all, right?

Human movement notation is also a hard problem for dance and choreography that needs solving. My partner has been talking about it for years, and there would definitely be interest from the dance world.
Yes correct. That's what it is
130nm was used to make the Athlon XP, Athlon 64, Pentium M, Pentium 4 and PowerPC G5 in the 2001-2003 timeframe [0]. So at the peak of 130nm's performance spectrum, it was able to produce stuff that can still run 2020 software quite okay. The Athlon 64 is probably the best 130nm silicon produced in its heyday and it's in the ballpark of a Raspberry Pi 4 (which has a 28nm SoC) in single core benchmarks.

I don't think this program is meant or likely to produce high frequency 100mm2+ chips (and it's worth remembering those chips had a lot of engineering effort put in them outside of manufacturing process) but it should permit chips of somewhat decent performance. It's a very generous thing!

Then maybe instead of accelerating children down the same horrible route.. we could create separate tracks?

This assumes the teams are using compatible frameworks, build systems, or even languages. A web API is often the easiest common denominator.

Then you get into deployment orchestration. Not every org can handle pure CI/CD. Even if they could they'd have to all agree to it.
The line demarcating "external" and "internal" can be quite mobile, and moreover, context-dependent. Especially when refactoring.

It's surely better than Google's Maps approach. They make Maps crash while you're driving on the freeway, so you say "Okay Google, start directions home" and it says "Would you like me to start directions home? We know you're driving at bone crushing speeds on a road you've never been on in a country you're not entirely familiar with. Just look at your phone screen and find the button and crash into the side of the freeway and don't get home. It's not like you need to keep your attention on the road while driving; we are quite happy if you crash and die. But timers and explicit audio instructions are just such poor usability."

It's a price-segmentation system. It's not about fair. They have to target limited grants without much information to get the best set of students they can (plus probably keep some politicians happy about their demographics).

Household income of parents is obviously a bit of weird proxy for an almost-adult child. But, I bet it works quite well at finding academically inclined people who assumed they couldn't afford X University and persuading them that they can.

The alternative would probably be something like requiring all parents to buy "education insurance" for their children, which turns into a lump sum at 18, and then giving people with lower incomes a discount on that insurance. (This is a terrible idea, don't do it. Make education cheap or free instead.)

Non-scam related story, but my mother called me once panicked, saying the computer is on fire and she's worried it will burn. It took me some time to understand what she meant by the computer is on fire. I had Linux installed on her PC, I think Xubuntu, and it's running xscreensaver by default. xscreensaver logo looks like a computer on fire. My mother thought that she has to react quickly otherwise the PC will burn.
I've used hexagonal architecture extensively. All of the typically claimed benefits are true. It's great for enforcing separation of concerns, and for permitting easy swapping of components. Great for mocking components in tests. Great for long-life software.

Most materials present hexagonal architecture in a very one-sided way, however. They don't discuss the downsides.

For example, every connection point between components requires an abstract API layer. This is a significant overhead compared to just having components call into eachother. In the long run, this is worth the effort. In the short term, there is no benefit.

Additionally, while it is true that the APIs can be flexibly hooked up to any implementation, there is still plenty of room for bad assumptions to creep into those APIs. When you have many adapters for a given port, those assumptions are entrenched, and are difficult to change.

But as an example, you WOULD be able to profitably mine bitcoin on 130nm ASICs if all the rest of the world had was CPUs/GPUs/FPGAs, which was more what the grandparent post was asking: 130nm hardware implementations can be much, much faster and/or energy efficient than a 7nm general-purpose chip which simulates the algorithm.

>Hong Kong is part of China. Obviously going to China when you're a well known dissident is playing with fire.

Up until VERY recently, you would have zero reason to fear being a political dissident in Hong Kong. That's kind of what these protests have been about.

For the NSL in specific, the problem is that it's no longer just a 'You can get disappeared in China', but a 'You can get disappeared in a significant portion of Asia on China's behest', because there is now a law that applies to you, even if you're an American citizen, and China has extradition treaties and huge amounts of power to exert political pressure on other countries.

Two months ago, if I was a vocal critic of the PRC, I could travel to Thailand without concern. Today, I cannot.

My point was primarily about your comment of "what is the prc gonna do send assassins?" - being on the PRC's bad side is dangerous in ways that might not be readily apparent, unless you plan to just never travel to many countries.

As for whether or not the app could be a national security threat, we already know social media apps can be used for all sorts of intelligence gathering purposes. Outside of the obvious, social media GPS data has been used to track specific people via interactions with others, even if their phone was not "compromised", it has been used to estimate the number of soldiers stationed at military bases, and it has been used to detect training and other military operations. Not exactly the sort of data you want to hand over to a foreign country.
Organisation and communication between teams is improved by having good APIs.

You can have that with or without microservices. You can screw this up with or without microservices.

The main factors for going for microservices are technical but, as always, must be understood.
Vine was 6 second long video clips. Comparing Vine to TikTok is somewhat like comparing TikTok to YouTube videos. They are different.

Lot of TikTok popularity has come from offering songs/lip syncing functionality (done better by their acquisition of musica.ly). That wouldn't have worked on 6 second Vines.

It would have. Their haproxy-server-state-management also comes under the scope of Chaos testing. Which was failing but they never set up alerts for it. So they could have seen that their chaos engine killed this process but they never got notified.

It does not print anything. It returns with exit code 42.
I believe it could be done via classes or packages, but only if the providers have the discipline to design it like a rest service, and the users then have the discipline to only use it like a rest service. Each package needs a small, consistent interface, with no way to interact except through that interface, with that same style of consistency across all libraries in the same way. The code must be isolated at runtime, so it can't steal resources from other pieces of code in the monolith or cause anything to crash. It can only respond to requests along the interface, either successfully or unsucessfully. So, theoretically possible, but in practice difficult once you add humans to the mix.
> Google is 1000 times more transparent company than ByteDance. It is OK to use US services for non-US countries.

Are we talking about freedom of speech? I 100% agree.

Otherwise, I don't think Google is a good example. There are actually many bad cases among US and EU companies. Just consider a few blow ups that we had with Google (e.g. Street view), Cicso (the issue with NSA), RSA (also the story about NSA), Facebook scandals, Crypto AG, Gemalto SIM cards, and etc.

Are they less evil or more transparent? I don't think so. It's the system that's more transparent in the West not companies. So when something leaks it's more likely that we are informed and it will blow up.

If you want to link everything to national security, then obviously domestic services are right choices. But, I'm still against banning and blocking other services. It's just against how I like the world to look like. It also sets a bad standard for other countries to inherit it. You don't want to disconnect the world more than it's now. History shows that it has bad consequences no matter where you are standing.

I think the right move would be setting good data protection laws (e.g. GDPR), and educating people about data privacy and help them to understand all the risks that are involved.
Sorry, i must be slow, what's the scam here? If I buy a $10 gift card with a $10 gift card, aren't we just swapping $10?
Yes, but carousels are rarely added because they provide a good UX. They are added because motion draws attention and attention sells. Let's say you have 3 big sales going on on your site: do you put them next to each other so visitors can see all three right away? If so, congratulations, you are a moral person.
But marketing people aren't (/s) and they know that if the visitor sees the word SALE just as it slides away in the carousel, they'll want to know more. But now they're already staring at the next slide, so they read that one, then the next, then they're finally back at the first one. Even if they don't go through the whole thing and just click back to see the first one, they have now spent far more time looking at your ad than if they were only idly scanning the site.

AliExpress is notorious for this, with even the "you might also like" items on a deliberately too fast slider, so something can catch your eye, but then you already have to interact with it to get it back before you've even had the chance to think about it. And once you get someone to interact with your ad, the chances of them clicking it and possibly buying it go up by a lot.
Think the question "What's the return on investment on writing tests?" doesn't get asked enough. There's a blind assumption that writing lots of tests is always good and code coverage tools tend to push the idea that you're not done until you reach 100% coverage.

Imagine some incubating startup where you have an initial 4-week runway for development, with the goal of getting a prototype working, so you can get it in the hands of some customers and begin validating a business case. How many tests do you need in this case? And how much time do you allow for it? Most of the code you're going to produce will be thrown away and the more compelling the prototype is in terms of functionality, features and design the stronger the signal you'll get back from potential customers.

To me there's still too much "testing is my religion" amongst developers and not enough "here's the quantified value of me spending 3 days writing tests and here's how that fits in the context of where our business is right now"
Can an Algorithm Predict the Pandemic's Next Moves?
All this will do is validate that banning each other's social media apps is a legitimate thing to do, all you need is sufficient justification.

The usual reason for tit-for-tat trade restrictions is to punish the original restrictions and try to coerce the other side back to a free trade position. That can't happen in this case, the CCP will never allow foreign social media in China, so it would end up with a permanent mutual ban.

Either we believe that freedom of communication is a paramount principle that should be protected, or we don't and we think it's ok to interfere with it for 'national interest' reasons. Our national interest reasons might differ from theirs, but we'd still be validating that banning social media is an acceptable step to take depending on the circumstances. I realise this poses a problem because letting Chinese social media into our markets creates risks but if they operate in our markets they have to follow our laws and our standards. Playing the game their way by their rules is a losing strategy. We need to get a lot more creative on this.
Yes. For example, a service starts sending bad data due to a bug. Now other services have acted on it, stored it, etc. It becomes a problem for many people.
