Speak for yourself. Their current API makes third party clients very difficult because they lack features and I hoped they'll announce something like this.

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind them touching on the developers relations they want to build, but no company of their size will admit to wrongdoing in the past.

Also words aren't worth anything unless they come in a legally binding contract that can't change on a whim.
I guess it's a case of "If you've got to ask, you can't afford it"
The Madoff case was utterly ridiculous.

The good part of it is that since Madoff the SEC is paying money to the whistleblowers, proportional to the money that they ultimately recover in fines. There's now even a proper industry of lawyers that will help you package the whistleblower case for the SEC.

>>What theory of ethics/justice are you invoking

Mainly Zero-Aggression principle, under which the only ethical use of force is for defense of either yourself or others, and only to the extent eliminate the aggressive force being applied.

>>If a billionaire is found guilty of pedophilia, and offers to build for himself a lifetime "prison" that is really a 5-star resort, should he be allowed to do so?

That is a strawman and a red herring all in one. No a person should not be allowed to build their own guided cage, however the prison s/he is sent to should be humane, where s/he would not be physically abused by other inmates or guards, not be subjected to physical or psychological abuse, should be provided basic nutrition, and health care, etc

This can not be said to be true for the US prison system today

Further the system I advocate for would provide for massive amounts of restitution for the victim(s) of this billionaire, unlike the system of today which holds the criminal has a "debt to society" but not necessarily their victims where any restitution would be secondary to the retribution offered to society as "payment" for this debt

I advocate for victim restitution being the primary goal, and hold that society is owed nothing in the equation.

This once a person is isolated from society and can not harm anyone, continued abuse or violence is unethical, "punishment" in captivity is unethical.
Gr8 article but if anything it underestimates the difficulty of unbloating the hardware and os which for one thing means breaking software since it depends on abstractions that get in the way.
It is entrenched in the (political) culture of Germany. As I said, metrics are difficult to compare, so determining the degree of corruption is always a poor approximation. Transparency International usually has some good data, but they are completely off when it comes to Germany.

We have cases were public officials got bribes and weren't convicted or even didn't lose their position. Our former, former chancellor Kohl still refuses to testify against people that were involved in illegal party donations for his own party. He promised to keep it secret. The public is just told that these dirty money trails are "political reality".

But these are just the higher profile cases. It is prevalent in the industry too. That can have advantages as business do cooperate very closely with each other, but corruption is the inevitable result. A start up culture like in the US would just barely be possible, because established players will get their hands on the money that is available for investments.

Additionally, EU initiatives against corruption that mostly tried to introduce transparency about financial transactions are always rejected by Germany, with dire consequences for other countries.

Officially there is no legal term for corruption at all. Using your position of power to further personal gains is completely legal if no other laws are violated. There was "Amtsmissbrauch" at some point, but that was scrapped by the Nazis. Contemporary politicians probably think that not everything they did has been bad...

Aside from that there is also a lot of child abuse and getting dissidents declared to be insane by state authorities, but that is another story.

The CPI is a corruption -perception- index and Germany can be quite discrete about corruption and there is a tendency of people to believe the state. Neither Hitler nor the GDR-regime could change that apparently.
Sorry but 3-lane highway with constant flow of cars is very different to some Europe 2-lane highways with aggressive drivers changing lanes frequently. Also when shooting ads, you can do 50 trips and select only couple of "successful" ones where the driver intervention was not necessary. But the final video then does not reflect the real-life average experience.
Splunk is an incredible tool. It is powerful, fast, and just a joy to use. The skill floor is low and the ceiling is high. Only minor complaint is the APIs have essentially no documentation if you want to interact with it programmatically (yes, there is some documentation, but it only covered like 10-20% of the interface last time I looked).

Everything I've used from Hashicorp has been good once you learn it. Vault is better than anything that came before it. Terraform is better than anything that came before it. Packer is excellent. Gonna try using consul connect for my next project. The learning curve is pretty steep on these things, but they are definitely force multipliers.

I'm also gonna say Eclipse. It seems to get a lot of hate, but I've used it so much for so long that it feels very natural. I've mostly switched to VSCode, but that is more a function of moving on to new languages that are better supported in VSCode.
EU has very strong employee rights, so that will come to the same point as a union in the US. The lower pay is an advantage but the time zone difference of 8-12 hours can be a disadvantage. There are no language barriers in IT between the US and Europe, by the time they graduate college the average European has gone through more than a decade of English courses. Cultural differences are minor, management style is very similar (in the East) and so is the communication culture.

So yes, lots of American companies already outsource to East Europe. There are lots of "Silicon Valley"s across EE thriving on Western outsourcing from companies who aren't quite desperate or cheap enough to go to India.

“The FAA is also currently withholding some key documents, citing FOIA exemptions.” You missed the part about the secret documents that the FAA won’t release. So now there is more to it then they let on.
Just to mess with your mind: in media queries and in the root element’s font-size declaration, em and rem mean the same thing, being the browser’s default font size, which is 16px in most browsers by default, but customisable in some browsers and different by default in some environments (e.g. I seem to recall Kindle using 19px). I call this unit the “browser em”, or bem. No one else really talks about it. One thing I haven’t investigated and probably should: does this unit depend on the language the document is specified in? (Because you can define different default fonts and sizes for different languages in at least Firefox.)
What do you expect from a country where the largest bank has been knee-deep in money laundering scandals for years and where $36b of tax money were stolen in the cum ex scandal while politics looked away?
In order for any of that to happen you'd have to be convicted of a crime first.

This would involve stripping immunity first, which doesn't happen all that often and involves approval from the parliament.

Naturally, this is a partisan issue and members of the ruling parties would obviously vote against it, making it very difficult to achieve in practise.

This is common practise in most democratic countries, though and isn't unique to Germany at all.

One of very interesting properties of SARS-CoV (2003) and SARS-Cov-2 (2019) is that they have their "proofreading" replication mechanisms, or in the terms of people working with computers these viruses have an "error correction device" active during the copying that allows them to have a relatively long genome which won't mutate too fast:

Every startup I ever worked at was like a family until the money started to run out; then you very quickly realize this “we’re a family” rhetoric works exactly one way and those 60 hour weeks you were pulling for free lunches and a significantly below-market salary were never going to be rewarded by anything.

Same with everything ever, some users have hundreds of thousands of followers, I'm not sure how you would do it without pagination.

The limits are tight. It's true. But pagination is not the enemy.

I think better scaling of the pricing tiers could help but Twitter probably doesn't care enough about small devs.

addressed in the article.

>With commerce resuming, the price has ticked back up, though a peak in demand may be years away.

>But don’t be fooled. The world’s economies are moving away from fossil fuels. Oversupply and the increasing competitiveness of cleaner energy sources mean that oil may stay cheap for the foreseeable future. The recent turmoil in oil markets is not an aberration; it is a glimpse of the future. The world has entered an era of low prices—and no region will be more affected than the Middle East and north Africa.

Why? Do you lack the understanding of how the human mind develops?

I am curious also, do you support the trend of digging up 30 year old comments from peoples past and holding them to account for them, aka Cancel Culture?

I am a firm believer in second chances, automatic expungement of criminal records, and various other things that do not hang past mistakes over peoples head for the rest of their lives

They also enjoy getting OSS to work for MS later. MS understands very well that Cloud and SaaS is the future. And in B2B, which is their forte, MS Servers don't have much of a play. Hence, their focus is on getting that working for them.

Ex. PyMSSQL is now officially supported by MS. This implies, their costs of maintaining an ODBC driver for Python-MSSQL will be largely reduced thanks to the OSS model.

Same deal with Linux-Azure tooling (there have been many tools that came out), or be it .Net-Core.

They are looking at "extinguishing" Linux not by doing better than competition, but rather by absorbing the competition and getting them to work for MS in the long run. Great business move, not sure for the larger ecosystem.

But then, OSS will always be there. If not Linux, something else.
Well, ok, now he has an excuse...

Which means I have two copies of my work email corpus on my machine. And it's not small.

This is a nice introduction, even though as most of the tutorials on ML it goes from 0 to 100 in 2 lessons.

A couple years ago I started studying ML, and I have a design background, so I needed to digest all the math and concepts slowly in order to understand them properly.

Now I think I understand most of the fundamental concepts, and I've been using it quite a lot for creative applications and teaching, and I have to say the best resource I've found for beginners, by far, is "Make Your Own Neural Network" by Tariq Rashid.

It starts really from the beginning and it takes you through all the steps of building a NN from zero, with no previous knowledge. really good.
Being Spanish yet having lived in Germany for quite some time, I agree with you...

I'm not saying there's no corruption in Germany - I think there's always going to be some level corruption at a certain scale of state - but there's no need to go as far as China or Russia for comparison. Just come to the South of Europe for a taste of what grand-scale corruption in what are otherwise (seemingly) high-functioning democracies...

I remember watching a Brazilian high government official (Justice minister?) on Anderson Cooper mentioning that Lava Jato had seen ~3 USD billion disappear, as Cooper reacted with a wide-eyed grin... And I thought to myself, huh, that's arguably the largest national corruption scandal in Brazil in recent history, and it's about the same size as the "EREs case" [1] in Spain, which was a regional affair, and where ~3 EUR billion also disappeared. One of many perpetrated by both main political parties in the last couple of decades.

Like I say, I don't think Germany is without corruption, but it's a matter of gradation - it's hard to label it as an "insanely corrupt" country seeing what's out here.

In the United States, you can spend 6k on health insurance and 12k out of pocket for unlimited family health care.

So as long as a US job pays 18k more, it's pretty similar.

People talk about vacation, but my job pays so much I'll take months off between contracts. (Engineering)

Also it's hard to compare lifestyles in the US vs Europe. Homes in the US are gigantic, often newish, and have Air Conditioning. Cars in the United States are more feature rich and have higher safety standards (when I was an airbag engineer in 2015)

I disagree with your insinuation that a UK publication must be against the Euro (such a cheap conclusion!), the Guardian does lean towards the left, but it is also a pro EU.

Exactly! That's why I am glad EU is very cautious in approving self-driving solutions. Yes, we need full self-driving and it doesn't look like an impossible task to achieve eventually. But it has to be done step by step, ensuring it behaves consistent and that the current limitations are well-understood by drivers. Bad reputation of some self-driving implementations could cause damage to the whole self-driving industry which would be bad.

They are pushing stuff on the public API that has been available for years to “managed accounts” via Gnip.com.

This makes the paid APIs more widely available - it’s now possible to start using paid APIs without talking to a sales person, with lower budget (but not lower prices - some endpoints cost nearly $1 per call).

They also plan to remove free endpoints 6 months to 1 year after a paid equivalent is released.

Bye bye per-user quota.

Snorkel has a label mutual exclusion assumption right?

My core problem is a multi-label problem, but my snorkel data, from the LabelModel is inherently single-label (mutually exclusive). What is the prevailing recommendation to do multi-label w/ Snorkel? Is the below what you are currently recommending?

For a given, k-wise multi-label problem:

1. Generate k binary datasets w/ LabelModel
2. Train k separate binary classifiers for each respective dataset
3. At inference/prediction time pass input though the k classifiers and get scores.

Is this what the current recommendation is? Create a set of binary classifiers?

"Then came the May 5 layoffs. To blunt the shock, Airbnb’s severance packages included three months of salary and a year of health benefits, which was more generous than many other start-ups doing layoffs."

Hate for Airbnb aside. I have to commend the CEO for directly addressing everyone in a meeting. Giving bad news like layoffs is extremely hard unless you are a sociopath.

My current CEO left it for all the directors to tell the rest of the team, a trend I've seen several times in my career. I wish there was a name for a CEO who only gives the good news and leaves the bad news for middle management.
