> Not exactly. You don't want someone sneaking in and misappropriating the HSM to authorize something bad.

I think we're talking about exactly the same thing :). That's what I meant by "even they rely on being stored in a physically secure room and protected from theft". Despite all the hardening that is applied to the device, it must always be kept secure and supervised. As an example, this is what Safenet considers the intended installation environment should be [0].

This can't be effectively applied to a personal computer.

It would seem relevant to determine whether the signalling is a true reflection of reality. If I'm telling people I have PTSD without PTSD then it's entirely unsuprising that I show other bad traits. If I actually have PTSD then that's quite distinct and would be an interesting study- amonst the poeple who have X, how many of them signal X and why. Then of course how many of the people signalling (for example) PTSD are people with PTSD.

It would seem like a really bad conclusion to say people signalling PTSD are psychopath if actually, there are people with PTSD and then psychopaths who signal PTSD - because you're essentially lumping people with real pain into a group with people who are exploiting thier pain.
What sort of proposal would you put forth? I generally install one of my production backups onto a staging server (secured appropriately for production data), and run the migrations against it to test.
Naked Capitalism has done a great job covering this stuff, and has many articles describing the corruption in CalPers.
> At this point, given the instability in the market I have no idea what is the wise move to put money into for retirement. Investments have tanked and I don't know at what point they'll recover

With all the instability of a once-in-a-century pandemic, the S&P is still up 1% today from where it was January 1. Specific large companies' stock like Amazon, Apple, and Tesla are up 50-300% since January.

The issue of saving for retirement is complex, thinking on a 10-40 year horizon as the world continues to change and evolve. But this is a bizarre time to be complaining about stocks as an investment.
> Every time I hear about this dude I only can remember that he publicly rescinded the offer of an engineer who asked in Quora on whether he should take an offer from Zenefits or an offer from Uber.

Hah, same here. I'd avoid the guy like the plague as an employee (and maybe even moreso if I were an investor). Not to mention that Zenefits was marred by a few HR scandals, too. Just goes to show it really must be "who you know."

I've heard it put this way: If you force users to trade convenience for security, they will find a way to obtain convenience at the expense of security.
Is that really such a bold expectation that when I buy a phone the manufacture will not use hidden software to downgrade the performance without informing me?

Your standards are in the basement.
I see, that makes sense. Kind of a "eat your vegetables" type of situation.

I really hope we can learn and get to a better place from here, but I'm not holding my breath. The way I see it, there's a good chance that the world will only continue to become increasingly more authoritarian and dictatorial. Because in a world filled with more and more widespread filter bubbles and entrenched divides, authoritarianism and dictatorships logically become the optimal solution to get society to cooperate and function.

It saddens me to think about it.
> especially since I doubt the desks are being wiped down between students.

Being more pedantic, but as far as I'm aware there's minimal evidence of infection from contaminated surfaces rather than airborne droplets.
Thank you, that explains the willingness to entirely ditch the migrations framework in favour of raw sql!
> This article is trying too hard to dress the author's limited experience up as absolute truth.

Sure you're not doing the same thing? As Vivekseth writes below, the author wrote psycopg2.

---
Allowing the DB user that the web app uses to have schema modification privileges is a massive security hole. If you're not hacked, someone will eventually drop the production database.

So, migrations in anything but SQL are a Bad Idea.
>That's why people have such an issue with it.

I see that as a common claim, but given the lack of similar concern to non related individuals with recessive genetic disorders, even in cases where both parents have it, or in cases where parents have dominant genetic disorders, I find myself seeing this as a more after the fact rationalization than the actual reasoning. And as for the actual increase it risk, it seems quite minor compared to many other behaviors that increase risk which society doesn't frown upon nearly as much (with drinking and drug use being the notable exceptions that are routinely condemned).
Fascinating. I had never considered using Proxmox for this, and had abandoned the idea of building a Hackintosh because of my Ryzen processor.
I agree with and independently also use the parent's modification to ISO8601 with that respect; though I do frequently call the format string that contains whatever magic cookies get that output something similar to iso8601mod. (The modifications: Emit a string rather than a T, and (if included) use the email like +/-OFFSET to indicate the current timezone offset rather than specify a timezone. No offset implies UTC for system times and local time for human-facing times.)
In which country do people use DMY, but also MD? This just sounds wrong, and my (admittedly limited) sampling shows that when DMY is abbreviated it becomes DM. 01/02 is still the 1st of February everywhere I went except in the US.
If hackintoshes becomes popular enough to threaten their bottom line the very next version of OS X and those thereafter will include countermeasures designed to make your life difficult. This doesn't seem to be a sustainable love affair with a counterparty that will never share your affection because you represent a potential loss not a customer.
Rippling is targeting a number of different markets with the key being that it's all under one roof and hopefully tightly integrated. The IT market is where Rippling started and one where I'd expect them to be fairly successful. The company I work at currently pays $5-$10 a user/month for each of password manager, SSO, MDM. They used to also offer MSP support where they basically managed your IT for you. If the consolidated version is good, you're hopefully paying less overall and spending a lot less on IT projects. This by itself makes it a competitor to a number of billion dollar companies.
It looks like they are now doing HR software ala Zenefits. For IT departments, this is really nice because you don't need a custom integration with your SSO provider anymore. And of course as Zenefits showed you can make a billion dollar company by just managing HR benefits.
> demand to lift that much mass into orbit?

Well, 1 million people ain't going to get to Mars by themselves[1].

But once you have that sort of capacity, at those sorts of prices, many things that are now unthinkable become very possible and possibly useful.

Asteroid mining has been mentioned. Putting huge telescopes into orbit or the Lagrange points. How about a nice and big radio-telescope on the far side of the moon, where there is no EM interference. Or maybe even further out? How about some very, very long baseline-interferometry[2]?

Put manufacturing in space. There appear to be some useful materials that can only be made in low-gravity environments, but currently the Price is not Right™[3]. Bezos wants to put large space habitats into orbit instead [4]

Others have mentioned Starlink, with up to 12000 satellites. Nowadays they're talking about 42K satellites.[5]

Space-based solar power might become feasible[6]. Maybe put up a sunshade[7] to control global warming.

How about some manned deep-space probes? Maybe with some Vasimir rockets[8], a nuclear reactor and lots of reaction mass.

We are so conditioned to think that anything space has to be small, super-lightweight and super-high-performance/expensive that it's really kind of hard to think about the consequences of those constraints no longer applying.

And of course tourism, like the already-announced circumlunar flight[9], space habitats etc.

Think big!

> so why does it use multi-layer perceptron? is it the same as ANN? why not calling it ANN? Does it have activation?

According to Wikipedia, "A multilayer perceptron (MLP) is a class of feedforward artificial neural network (ANN)." We're being more specific about what we use :)

> There is another thing I don't understand. Traditional volume data is a map of position to density (or color). There doesn't seem to be the need for a direction as an input. Why does the network need a direction? Why can't we get a density and a color given a position?

Volume data of this form is unable to express the idea of view-dependent reflections. I admit, we don't make much use of that here, but it does help! See NeRF for where it makes a big, big difference: https://www.matthewtancik.com/nerf
I think you confused the Intel leak thread with this one ;)
I can agree with that with the caveat that "enabled" has to be at either something that only the user can do. If it requires that the customer intentionally run a debug build, that's fine; if it can be toggled on without their knowledge, then it's a problem.
Major investors used to risk capital on large assets, but government backstops have really changed the game. Perceived risks have gone down, as have returns.

Many people cite the 1984 bailout of Continental Illinois as a turning point, but there are many examples before and after that.[1]

Thanks for that. I think the NAICS codes could be fleshed out a little to be more relevant and useful.

Not to beat this example to death, but there is a market for mobile video editing applications and I have no idea of its size. Wikipedia only lists one iOS product. I feel there would be a lot of value in providing this kind of information easily to people. I personally don't want to engage with a market research firm during the exploratory phase.
CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, the Washington Post and the New York Times will be on this list right?

“Outlets where the state exercises control over editorial content through financial resources, direct or indirect political pressures, and/or control over production and distribution" describes it perfectly. Or are they not counting foreign governments as "state"?
I'd argue that it's almost certainly NOT valued on a multiple of revenue at this stage. still a lot about the founder, market size, story etc
Maybe, but are you sure you want to end up in a very expensive court battle with Intel?
Very nice piece. Enjoyed that, learned alot.
You can be traced in many, many ways. From all the websites you visit, the accounts you have, social media posts and pictures, connections with others, camera's outside, your car, your job, whatever more. There's very little true privacy in modern urban life.

Yet, while privacy issues are a point of concern among geneticists when it comes to direct-to-consumer genetic testing, the general points of caution are directed to relational and emotional issues. Many people think little of the relational consequences genetic testing can bear, where family members are implicated often unwillingly. Another point is that people often make up wrong conclusions about their results and see them as some infallible passport of who they are, while the tests are limited in what they actually can tell. Or let's say tests show you have a disposition for increased disease risk. I doubt many give it a really good thought of whether they truly want to know and live with said knowledge for the rest of their lives.
Sorry if I'm not demonstrating adequate sympathy, but all I can thing of from reading this headline is "oh dear, a person with a genetic adaptation that prevents some wavelengths of light from penetrating to deeper layers of the skin will find it hard to make some wavelengths of light penetrate to deeper layers of the skin"

As a nonmedical person, this seems blindingly obvious - to the point I could reference the "floor is made of floor" meme - so it would surprise me to learn that professionals haven't considered this downfall of the technology when taking their readings. Judging by the discussion here, I don't think I'm going to be surprised today.
That's built on top of the dependency graph though. You can use it without any models - just a bunch of inter-dependent `RunSQL` statements across different apps in your project.
A friend of mine once gave me this explanation:

Back in the days you only had IT, This slowly changed to ICT (Information Communication Technology) This branched of in 3 separate things ICT/IT, NSE (Network security engineering) and (SE) Software engineering.
IT people where needed less and less because we prefer throwing things away instead of fixing it. So after a while they came up with the idea to still keep IT people around but to use them for other things when they are not busy. And they called it DevOps.
A manufacturer wanted to upgrade one of their equipment lines to be more modern. The developers of the original product, both hardware and software, were no longer with the company.

Since they just wanted to add some new features on top and present a better rack-based interface to the user, they decided to build a bigger box, put one of the old devices inside the box, then put a modern PC in there, and just link the two devices together with ethernet through an internal hub also connected to the backpanel port and call it a day.

The problem is, if you do an update, you need both the "front end" and the "back end" to coordinate their reboot. The vendor decided to fix this by adding a simple URL to the "backend" named: /backdoor/<product>Reboot?UUID=<fixed uuid>

Their sales team was not happy when I showed them an automated tool in a few lines of ruby that scans the network for backend devices and then just constantly reboots them.

They still sell this product today. We did not buy one.
A couple of real world data points.

Two Fortune 500 companies I worked at had projects in Django that used native SQL to do migrations. This led to errors in prod during deployment.

The order of the scripts had to run in a proscribed order. They had to be listed on the deployment instructions. So the migrations would run, and then fail during a prod deployment for various reasons. Most notably a dependent script hadn't run in prod yet. They had run in the Dev/QA environments and everything had run just fine. Or Dev/QA had been hand tweaked and that change hadn't made it to the script during prod deployment because they were testing it for a month to see performance before moving to prod, etc... etc...

It was all ugly.

In one of the two companies they finally decided to stop handwriting SQL and started trusting the Django migration system, and the problem with deployments went away.

AND they still were able to hand write sql to optimize the performance of the DB if needed.
that's the same with many startups, that you'd need to work longer and for less salary. but more potential upside on equity. they would have been telling you that the equity could be worth more in the future if they IPO etc. not that it'd be worth more in this round of funding.
You'd think so but how many of those forever looping animations actually need to run for more than a second - any?

Tone deaf web design earns my skepticism, pretty much non-stop. I guess it's statically possible he'd be the exception.

I missed the golden age of lisp, but i know this project for its legendary structural editor, SEdit[1], released the year I was born. i found it mentioned in an old paredit readme, something poignant like “paredit is only a shadow of what interlisp was: true structural editing”.

it is very common to see publications such as "regulation of [gene1] expression by interaction with product of [gene2]"

followed by "temperature dependency of [gene2product] regulation of [gene1]"

absolute temperature of culture can confound you into negative results so you will never see the genes activity until the experiment is replicated with culturally disparate subjects. thats just being simple as well, there is normally a continuum of influences and its up to experiment to tease out the largest contributor[s] to the effect of interest

My town is already facing a ~10% gap due to loss of state aid and income tax revenue. Many municipalities have contracts with contractual pay increases e.g. 3% per year COL increases on top of the constantly increasing healthcare costs (those were ~7% last year for my town). All told, that 10% gap turns into something closer to 15% due to the structural increases in outflows. And all of this for a town that is one of the few that has a AAA bond rating. Absent radically slashing services I don't think most municipalities can afford any sort of cut.
Same here. I purchased it expecting it to last me 5 years, and so far that plan looks sound. I’ve followed the release of subsequent phones in the review media, and I don’t feel like there have been any compelling new features since that would tempt me to upgrade sooner.
This is literally how all standards in browsers are being initially created. Someone has an idea, implements it eventually in a browser, thinks it´s so good, they want other browsers to support it too so they make a proposal. If others like it, they´ll support it and try to find faults. Eventually it gets either rejected, or approved and others follow suit (most of the times).

Although, some browser teams, like Google Chrome, has apparently the ability of just shoving Google people in the standards process so they can fast-track stuff.

But in the end, it's _supposed_ to work in the fashion where one browser starts implementing something, then others.

Is it really too much to ask of a company for them to tell us when they're throttling our phones? Yes, they had a technical reason to do so, but people are right to be skeptical about this when it takes a lawsuit for this to come out.
I should have qualified that KOP was the largest mall I knew of which is why I called it out. I did forget about Springfield mall which is still alive I assume. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promenade_at_Granite_Run is turning into a classic shopping center which was my closest mall growing up. In Pittsburgh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_III_Mall is getting turn down, Ross Park Mall is declining and Robinson Town Center was half empty the last time I was there ~5 years ago. I can't speak to malls I didn't frequent.

Although "still open" isn't exactly saying much either on your end - how many stores are empty? Are they on the decline?

I believe if we were given the race of the developers this bias would become clear - nothing against the developers or their race, I'm not implying the developers are racist in any way.

What I am saying is that systems developed by a team with a majority of single race is bound to have biases purely because of the lack in opinion diversity while testing the system.

But I could be completely wrong...

Edit: I pressed send by accident, I never meant to actually post this comment but I'm leaving it up anyways.
Not too familiar with this area. IIUC, training a model would require photos with corresponding information about where and at what angle the photo is taken.

Is this information just available from the dataset?
It was disabled by default, and could only be enabled using environment variables. Even when enabled, the whole thing ran in Docker and the socket was bound to loopback, so you could only connect to it from within the container.

When the intention is a debugging server, making it exposed to the world is a mistake and a security vulnerability. At that point it is effectively a backdoor, but the difference between a high level vulnerability such as this and a backdoor is developer intent.
Git Worktree Flow – A workflow for keeping clean commit histories
A Git work flow that has been working well for me over the past few weeks. Wanted to share.
I worked at a big web site and we could demonstrate lots of incremental revenue (many millions of dollars) from a change like this. Even though it doesn’t seem noticeable to an individual, it adds up. If you draw a graph with page load time on one axis, and usage on the other, it’s a smooth curve, not a step function. Out of all your customers, some fraction of them are going to get distracted and disengage after 3 seconds but not after 2.9 seconds.

Imagine you lower the grip on everyone’s tires by 3%. Most people wouldn’t notice, but for a few people it will prevent them from being T-boned when they wait too long to brake for a red light. That improvement would be measurable if your data was good enough. I’m not saying optimizing your website is important like preventing car crashes, but it’s an illustration of how a small change can lead to a measurable improvement.
