The point is to prevent data leaking. Since medical data is quite sensitive, giving someone the data--even another researcher--requires a great deal of trust. Homomorphic encryption
makes it easier.

I have a friend who works with individual-level Census data that is similarly sensitive. Getting cleared to use the data required a lengthy training and vetting period, and when she wants to actually access it to do an analysis she has to go to a secure room at another university. She's not allowed to bring any of her own electronics in, only pen and paper. The analysis script and anything derived from the data (analysis script output) is cleared by a Census Bureau employee before it leaves the room, to make sure it's not leaking any personal information.

I'm not interested in "new" usually (but I do enjoy anything Heidi Howard releases in her research). I like distributed systems, highly available services, and operating at scale. I like thinking how we can improve systems to make customers happier and grow the bottom line. Sometimes, I'd probably keep optimizing a given service, but I also like monitoring services and determining ways to know if the service is meeting customer needs, and I let that guide or influence "good enough to delight customers." I like ownership. I want to own my services from data layer to public API, and to promote devops culture.

Not sure if this is the spirit of your question. I like moving products forward, and the tech is usually an implementation detail.

It depends on your definition of "useful." If you look at a single GAN-generated image in isolation it's almost certainly "useless" for most definitions. But if you need a bunch of faces, sneakers, buildings, whatever, and you want to be cognizant of people's privacy, and you don't mind the occasional weird image artifact or completely fake-looking image, these can be good alternatives to sourcing a large number of real images.

But it does matter. The prosecution isn't just to get a conviction and enforce the law, it's intended to advance national security.

If embarrassing details come out and harm it, the prosecutors would rather not have a trial.

It's quite possible to imagine various embarrassing details that might come out and are compatible with the story as reported - from possible spying on COUNTRY1's embassy, to how exactly did this engineer smuggle these secret documents to his house.
This may be a naive question: is using a NIC with PTP (nee IEEE-1588) an option for a time source?

They are "just composites" in the sense that the NN learns to decompose an image into multidimensional concepts both local and global (the latent space) and then assemble new images from anywhere in that space even at points that weren't in the training set. Of course if the training set is small then it'll overfit to mostly reproduce the inputs.

If he's willing to sell the information to France, France would rightly be concerned that he'd be willing to also sell the information to countries France isn't friendly with.

Even if France didn't care about the information being shared elsewhere, they would still likely care about potentially breaching the classified information treaty they signed with the USA back in 1977[1]. When France received the information, they may have assumed it was a test from the USA to see if France was still upholding their treaty obligations to report unauthorised distribution of US classified information?

My apologies if my comments are confusing! I haven't studied the history of logic and the textbooks I've read don't have much information about it. I mentioned that I was taught a Peirce-ian concept of quantifiers to say I think that Peirce's work has been influential. If it was influential, then it was not ignored, deliberately or otherwise.

I don't know to what extent Peirce is left out of accounts of the history of the development of modern mathematical logic. Perhaps you're right about it, but I'm a bit skeptical because it seems to me from the little I've read that both Peirce and Frege produced similar and overlapping work around the same time as each other and independently of each other, so neither deliberately tried to omit references to each other's work, they just ignored each other's work more or less. Peirce's work sure seems like it had a strong following early on. Frege's branch of logic seems to have eventually become established not for nationalistic reasons but because it was simply considered "better" (whatever that may mean). I think Peirce's English-language work would be more favourably received by Anglo researchers thatn Frege's which was in German, anyway.

This is just your opinion. I think maybe climate change is the primary reason to not have kids in like .39% of people not having kids, but one of several or many reasons, doesn't mean much. Not drinking gasoline because it tastes bad is a reason I don't do it. Not the primary reason, sure, but still one of the many reasons. Same thing here, there's a long list of reasons, and climate change is one of them for many people.

I guess it's a game theory kind of thing. If, for some reason, the UK decided to clean their act, the grifters would go someplace else (delaware, singapore, etc). In the end it might make the world a slightly better place but at an important cost for the city types.

However, it would mean that part of the local investment might flow back into local business/industry, making the country also slightly better off and with less inequality there might also be less corruption. Your average politician would spend less time being a mercenary for the city and more time dealing with actual problems.

Hi HN,

I recently started looking into web3 and while it’s still early days, it’s really exciting to see what’s possible building on top of the blockchain in a decentralized way.

It feels like we’re on the brink of a big change.

That’s why I decided to collect all web3 jobs and learning resources in one place. So anyone who’s interested in starting a career in web3 can get a headstart.

Also, I started a Discord server and almost 400 people joined in 2 days.

Let me know what you think!

Thanks.

Hi HN!
Long time lurker but seeking advice. I made a personal website this year writing about topics I love. Unfortunately, my direct peer group is not that involved in the same interests as me, and I've found it difficult to share the stuff I create with the right audience. Without using the social media gimmicks, how do I find that audience?

Here is my first post I wrote back in Jan '21. I hope someone enjoys it! Always looking for feedback.

Careful: you're letting ideology get in the way of the facts.

Price gouging laws are exclusively a local and state matter, and only apply at the retail level. Although there have been proposals for price-gouging laws at the federal level, none have been enacted. State laws don't generally apply to B2B interactions.
I'm just wondering how you've played _your_ part in not burdening the health system during your life?

Of course infectious diseases aren't the only way to burden a health system

Obviously, I presume you don't smoke and never have smoked.

Never drunk alcohol.

Nor are overweight and never been overweight.

And done everything in your power to reduce risk of cancer, stroke, heart attack, etc.

And you never leave your house because it's very risky being outside and you might break a leg.

And inside your house, you never use boiling water or stoves, in case you burn yourself.

And when you have colds/flu, you isolate yourself for 10 days. You never think about heading to the shops for food or medicine, in case you make someone else sick.

Children are big spreaders of disease, so if you have children, I presume you home-school them?

And you don't drive an ICE car and never have, because of all the pollution and the health problems and deaths that causes.

> I don't believe you should have the freedom to spread around an infectious disease

See, what you're saying is: I don't believe you should have freedom.

Were all the low paid workers in factories, forced to work else starve/be made homeless, exercising "freedom to spread around an infectious disease", or where they trying to live?

Its impact on both the Bay region and the Delta, and by extension much of the Central Valley and Los Angele, would be immense. As has been noted for the past 50 years, a major event is long overdue.

Besides cdrecord, he created several other high quality tools. I especially remember star, a tar with features that made it much better suitable for real-world tape backups than GNU tar. A friend used it to implement a backup system.

I think people in the German nerdsphere had an affection for him because he was a fanatical fan of Solaris, which he liked to get into in all kinds of situations, notably in heated comments on heise.de. It was kind of cute to see such an obviously intelligent guy behave like that. Many geeks and nerds have things that they care much more about than would be considered "normal", after all.
The actual poll "thirty-nine percent reported they feel uncertain about having children, given the uncertainty of the environment and the added carbon footprint brought by having kids."

Being uncertain and decided to not have kids primary because of it are massively different.
Sometimes, articles are reposted because nothing changed significantly.

We sometimes get articles from the 19th century that are still relevant today, and it is interesting to see our ancestors perspective on the problem, and an old article on a problem we still have today is a good indication that there is no easy fix and it won't go away anytime soon.
Leverage is the risk. Asking for 3 times what's initially offerred is greed. Greed isn't bad, per se, it just entails a risk.

> I don't see how it's reasonable at all to pounce on this as a lie if you mean it in the sense of having a strong belief and say this when asked to clarify.

Did you read the entire Twitter thread ?

Higher up in the thread the guy said that Steve asked him

> “how much is your revenue?” And also, “what was your last financing valuation?”

To which the guy gave him the answers.

For the guy to then go back and arrogantly say “Actually, I know we’re worth three times as much.”

I would call that a lie, wouldn't you ?

He only just gave Steve the hard numbers a few minutes before, and now he's claiming he "knows" they are worth more ?

I'm afraid I'm on Steve's side on this one, i.e. "Don't waste my time and I won't waste yours".

Business negotiations should always take place around hard facts and figures. If you start to try to introduce fluffy subjective nonsense that you cannot back up with facts into the discussion, like this guy did, you'll most likely be shown to the nearest door.

I took a punt and checked your Twitter bio. Sure enough it contained the explanation to your son’s schoolyard problem. You.
I've seen that "piercing look" as he calls it--in business, trust is everything. Of course everyone is posturing and throwing their weight around to get the best deal, but as soon as you even hint of telling an outright lie it would be the death of you.
Such a bizarre statement to imply that old people don't understand math, and all but destroys any credibility for the rest of your comment.
"How to deal" is addressed as "backup in production" active-active model, described toward the end of the artical.
IMO this is a very unconvincing article. I think most people bring children into this world hoping their kids will have a better life then they do. If you're already unhappy with your life, why bring in kids when you know the world is going to be even worse for them?
> Transporting kids on bike in rain, wind and 40 degree F is somehow good thing

As a kid I did this every day for years and see absolutely no issue with it (-5 to +25c instead of 40F), all year long in any weather. My parents either brought me by bike or I went on my own when I was old enough.
Reprioritised.
Economic reasons, lack of time due to work hours, wanting to live ones own life without the responsibility of raising children, difficulty forming relationships that could end up in a willing pregnancy due to some of the previous reasons as well as others... Are all reasons that you'd expect to hear. Citing climate change as a reason seems unreal.

I guess it makes more sense when you realize the poll was mostly late teens and young adults. People who are yet to experience life as "adults" know it, and are citing idealistic reasons, rather than more realistic ones.
Change cities then.

Its all about your life project at the end.. if you are happier eating overprice avocado toasts in the Bay instead of having children then good for you. Im not even judging despitz the sarcasm
If one truly believes that people are a net negative then you could argue that any events that lead to mass casualties are a net good. Also, that the best thing to do would be to kill yourself. Nobody is as green as someone six feet under.
He does in fact make this claim directly in the tweet thread:

It is possible to have safe, effective biking infrastructure in any weather. Kids in Finland bike to school when the temperature is in the teens (Fahrenheit). This isn’t an impediment.
Honestly one of the most stressful things about tech is feeling like you have to "keep up".

So when I have time to toy around, its with something dumb or old. Or its more of a foundational thing/idea that lasts. Dumb things like 'how does a relational DB work' or 'how does bumpy work'.

At my day job, it feels like I always have to push the envelope. Its fun to just relax and fill in the gaps in my knowledge.
I think rationalizing any parenting choice as a duty to society is pathological, since we’re sharing.
I always just search for golang, rustlang, etc.,.
The ability to tell an engaging and concise story without gaps is a difficult skill. I imagine it can be required through practice and attention. I have noticed a certain deficit in this regard with my own family and I would love to hear what techniques or exercises might help.
Well you can think that but that doesn't make it true. Considering someone who is qualified to do a Physics PhD at Stanford as someone who has no scientific training is really quite ridiculous. A Physics bachelor is 3 years of full-time scientific training. And I'd imagine it's not easy getting into a Stanford PhD program.

Not that I disagree that Musk is selling bullshit a lot of the time. But that is completely separate from his academic career.
It's not that they have to grow their food, it's that they should be able to hop on a cheap bus to the nearest city. It actually makes it easier for elderly than car culture (for example my grandma doesn't drive but she can use the bus no problem).

Also most places where people live have grocery stores in walking distance here. But that's just another example of "car culture vs walking culture".

BTW another very common sight in countryside is old people biking or walking with a bike. That way they don't need to carry the stuff they bought. And if they get tired they can use the bike as a "walking help".

This is the village where my family comes from: https://goo.gl/maps/XrzEjhMF7VUmdVVRA

It's a village of under 500 people in the poorest part of the poorest region of the EU. The nearest city of about 20 000 people is 25 km away. There's 3 bus stops and 3 grocery shops in this village, as well as a primary school, public library, firestation, medical place(sorry no idea how to translate that, there's a few nurses and a doctor), post office, bank and a church.

If you notice the shop has 4 bikes and 2 cars parked. That's about normal. Most customers probably walked in.

If driving a car was required to live half of the (mostly elderly) population of this village would have to move to a retirement house somewhere cause they probably can't drive anymore (or at least not in big-road traffic which would be required to get to the city).
> And a lot of "religious exemptions" are being turned down. This would be a bit like taking a staunch vegan and forcing them to eat something (via threatening career) that was tested on animals while they said otherwise.

Considering all of the other household items that are also commonly tested using fetal cell lines (including acetaminophen, aspirin, ibuprofen, albuterol, pseudoephidrine), the analogy doesn't apply.
> If you start to try to introduce fluffy subjective nonsense that you cannot back up with facts into the discussion

I get that, but labelling someone a liar is much stronger than this.
