This would go a long way to addressing one of the key needs that we’ve been planning around: a central library to manage all the different documents and datasets that are accumulated by different teams.

We’ve sketched out an initial solution which looks a lot like Secoda, except focused on csv files, the concept being to check csv data sets into the library, add metadata, and then define how to bridge it into the central data store.

I’ll dig further into the website, it looks like you’ve done a lot of good work avoiding repeatedly addressing the same questions!
Very simple, just turn down his money.
I think people feel more powerless than apathetic.
A very cool approach. When I worked at Uber, there were internal tools to query data sources. In practice, I found few people outside data scientists knew how to query the data, or know what was available. I was an engineer and barely used this tool, until a peer DS showed me how to do this. Even then I was overwhelmed by the number of tables to join, knowing what data source contained what data, or knowing which tables I had access to query or join on.

A few questions:

1. How do you go about permission? This was a major question at Uber (where permission were put in place early enough). Especially with GDPR and other regulations, you cannot have anyone access any data.

2. What about PII? Some data needs to be stored, but cannot be viewed except for very, very few people and with a strong audit tail. This is a more specialized case for #1.

3. How do you see the tool "spread" the most within companies? I would assume that easy sharing is how people learn about this, then try it themselves... but would love to hear what you actually see.
I never made that mistake and I used SQL for 20yrs. If you do make that mistake, please quit IT Industry right now and go sell cars.
>Isn’t part of the accusation that he directly assisted in the actual extraction of the data by providing guidance?

No. The accusation is that he offered to try to crack a password to allow an alternative extraction method that would have possibly kept Manning's identity secret.

Whether he actually tried to crack the password is unclear, but it's known that Manning did not use the method for any of the documents she extracted.

They could still try and railroad him for agreeing to try and crack the password, but Assange did not assist in the actual extraction.
I don't see anything wrong with small rooms and common areas. It's the no windows and warren-like density of this that is disturbing.

That students expect to live multiple years without any private space at all in the US has always struck me as very odd. I'm very glad I had a small private room (though, as is common in the UK, I only lived my first year in institutional accommodation). If course it had a working, opening window, a large house common room, a basement pool and games room (in terrible condition of course) and lots of open space outside...
My actions have nothing, zero, nada to do with your garbage attitude.

I don’t disagree with your main point, but your example wasn’t accurate.
Unless it's part of some legally binding document I wouldn't trust it anyway. Despite the name change they're still Facebook. Data harvesting is their business.
It is scary how far this made it. All because of money, and the thought of losing it.

The Oculus isn’t just a monitor, it’s a complete computer system with its own OS. If you just want a VR headset that is purely a monitor, buy one of those.

"By law, U.S. law enforcement agencies can track people’s movements from their mobile phone signals upon obtaining a court order. But how could I get one?

No windows, no natural light... this is hilarious. Why not go the whole nine yards and construct one of those capsule hotels like in Japan? :D
That's basically le Corbusier, if not in the details, then in the totalitarian urge to organize people's lives.
I think you ended up on the wrong thread
What are they doing? Giving money to public educational institutions? The horror! If a donor is as unreasonable as this one seems to be the university should not accept the money. Nothing is being forced on anyone here. Calm down.
When your primary design priorities are housing a lot of people you don't care about and preventing suicides, you tend to get to the same final product.
I blame the administration at least as much as the donor in this case.

It's their responsibility to say no, and they failed in that job.
Yeah, I don't think the RT numbers are all that meaningful as such. However, I do think he has a decent point: how important is some comedian making some joke, really? Is it really something worth protesting or walking out over?

It all seems like a misplaced priority to me. A day has 24 hours. Your life has ~80 years. Your political clout is even more limited. You really need do need to prioritize, and if you look bad in case A people won't take you serious in case B either.

During those Netflix protests the attitude was fairly aggressive; signs of counter-protesters were destroyed and were treated in a way that was less-than-peaceful. I found myself wondering: if Gandhi and MLK are praised for their peaceful resistance in situations that were many many times worse by any standard, then how come we've somehow come to accept this as "normal"? If they could protest peacefully then so can you. And yes, every community has its share of cranks and we shouldn't judge an entire community by that, but if you don't all out the cranks and even encourage them then it's a bad look on the entire community.

At best I feel these kind of antics are just an ineffective and pointless waste of time. More likely I think they're actively harming the cause in the long run.

Anyway, I have always been on the left and always will be, but I have a strong dislike for American Liberals to the point where it's just becoming the left's version of Fox News and all of that. Not quite there yet, but moving in that direction fast.
Ah, this is the inference "we are here, therefore life must be common".

This is bogus, because it ignores Observer Selection. We are not at a randomly chosen planet in the universe (or in a larger multiverse), we are at a planet where there exists observers who could observe life exists. The more uncommon observers are, the more biased our position would be.

Ask yourself: if OoL were exponentially unlikely, requiring super-astronomical numbers of tries to get it to occur, far beyond the number of stars (or even atoms) in our visible universe, what exactly would we see that's different from what we do see? If there is no such thing, how could current evidence rule out that possibility?

I will totally agree that the mechanism by which life arose should be among the easiest routes to life. But this doesn't mean that process was likely in any absolute sense, just that it was among the least unlikely.
How is this different than ThoughtSpot?
Congrats on launching!

So how do you compare to a Data Catalog like datahub? https://datahubproject.io/

From the video you looked very similar to them as a metadata consumer and they provide extensive API integrations so you can add basically any set of metadata you want including slack, jira etc.
They're also offering a hosted version.

Their metadata is indexed into a tuneable ES cluster so you can fiddle with relevance etc to your hearts content.

What's your big differentiator?
I don't own an iPad, but I flashed my tablet with an Android Open Source Project ROM so that I have the option to not send data to anybody I don't want to.

This seems like a disaster waiting to happen.
The maintainers of X decided they didn't want to keep maintaining X since it has too much baggage. So they designed/implemented a replacement, Wayland, and have given notice that development on X is going to come to a halt. Unless a different group of maintainers steps forward, but that seems unlikely. So like always, open source is a do-acracy. The people doing the doing, get to make the decisions.

Regardless of "Year of the Linux Desktop" what these maintainers are trying to do in general is minimize their time involvement while making the desktop have the features and support (like for 4K monitors) that people want. Secondly, "the Linux Desktop" isn't a single organization like a commercial entity is. Its a bunch of different groups that all have their own priorities and schedules and use cases and so on. Expecting that process to produce output that is functionally identical to a single commercial entity, is unrealistic.
I believe this article is a testament that when something needs to be done but nobody really knows what to do, the structures of power will demand you do this or that regardless.

This incoherent demanding is from a fundamental need of power to project power and is harmful to those subject to it.
Wow, great article.

Poor guy. Some people's minds are constructed in a way that simply doesn't mesh with modern life. If only he'd discovered extreme sports; he's got the exact personality profile of a champion hang glider pilot/kiteboarder/BASE jumper.

Edit: I wrote that earlier bit about 40% of the way through the article. Now, at 75% of the way through the article, I don't think extreme sports would have scratched the itch for him, either. The level of novelty and adrenaline he trained himself to need could only be satisfied by the professions of drug addict or ancient raiding warrior.
The easiest way would be to do it like in most of Europe and fund universities properly with tax money so that they do not need to waste half their professors' time chasing grants and depend on wealthy donors to fund basic operations.
I’m not sure if Ada counts as “simple” as C (maybe so, maybe not depending on where you find complexity, but I find it funny at at this point the Ada spec is smaller than the C++ spec.
I assumed that you would be able to have a new Oculus only account. However, all you really have is an Oculus (by Hatebook) account. They promised to keep IG and WA separate too, so this is a bit of "Hey regulator, no it is a different account" non-sense signaling.
im sure the ongoing FTC investigations have nothing to do with this

Why assume that it will not go missing? People will probably get it and tinker with it at home. Some might throw it away outside of the establishment.
If that was your goal then you utterly failed and this comment makes it worse. If you want to write something neutral it helps to first understand your own biases.
Sure, my point was only that if the lower bound on the subset is higher than anyone expected, that will increase the probability of them all being true compared to your prior belief. And it will also increase the probability that life is more common.

You could argue that the priors were garbage I suppose. I'm not arguing for any particular probability.

The McDonalds example does not have independent variables as X1..Xn-1 are deliberately increased as Xn is decreased.
I'd also argue that origin of life doesn't have independent variables. If chemistry turns out to be more or less powerful in one setting, it should do something for our assessment of other settings, especially when it's similar processes.
Also if you have a Quest that is shared in the family, you don't need to worry about your family members poking around your FB stuffs anymore.

I doubt it will eliminate the inherent problems, even if they make the headset very light. It is still something that you will want to take off your head after some time. Heck, even my headphones (that are very comfortable!) make me uneasy after on hour or so. Plus many people experience slight dizziness that is probably tolerable but not exactly a nice thing to have for entertaining.

What they can do is to make a series of continues improvements, not just to hardware but also software - Beat Saber is absolutely amazing, and they are some other nice games, but it still feels like far below expectations.
No? The point is that poverty and financial weakness in the black community is a direct result of racist attacks on black economic activity, often carried out or backed by the government, and now practically self-sustaining by nature of the force and length of application. You right an off-balance body with equal and opposite force to the direction of momentum.
Somewhat less nice for those of us who are using it and don't appreciate people trying to break our setups.
The lesson to take away that "trust the experts" as a general motto is nonsense, especially the more we move away from pure math into things that are much more difficult to decide.

This is especially true if people are forced against their will, violating their freedom rights. Sure, taking away your kids is on the far end of the scale. But thousands of people have quit their jobs or been fired over vaccine mandates. Peoples lives and businesses have been destroyed over lockdowns. How do you justify this, with studies like this coming out:

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-10-28/getting-v...

People have been called conspiracy theorists a year ago when the "lab leak theory" was being discussed. Major news outlets would call you a racist lunatic. You would think they'd become more humble, but they didn't. They simply continue to repeat the officially sanctioned narrative and enforcing the Overton window. They simply are downstream of power.

It has become abundantly clear to anyone who follows the topics in-depth that politicians and institutions are barely competent, and they should have very limited power over people's lives.
It clicks in the same way that Trump's real estate investment courses did.

If someone really had the tools to get rich, there would be no reason or incentive to ever sell them to anyone?
So it sounds like they did some focus groups and figured out that no one wanted a "Facebook Quest"

Fire code exit requirements depend on the construction style, materials, suppression equipment and use.

You can have a bedroom with only one exit (the requirement you reference is for a second exit, not a window) if walls/doors are rated high enough and you have sprinklers.
100%. Sure, the billionaire is probably an asshole, but he’s also 97 and not an architect. The real problem here is the leadership at the university deciding to move forward with this monstrosity just to get a big donation.
>500kcals less per day equals 500grams of weight loss per week. It is enough, else you lose muscle.

Translating this into yearly terms: 500 grams of weight loss per week is 21 kilograms, or about 46 pounds of weight loss per year (52 weeks).
Yeah this doesn't work. The Marines stuffed me into a very small barracks room and gave me a room mate. It doesn't make you leave any more often, it just makes you fight.
Building codes, at least in my part of the US, dictate that in order for a room in a home to be a bedroom it must have a window. Public buildings probably have different rules.
Can you use Wayland without DBus? I guess in theory yes, but in practice most compositors rely pretty heavily on it for various other things.
There must be an exception for structures with intentionally limited exits, such as prisons and billionaire-designed student housing.
Well, public bathrooms also attack the dignity of the people who have to clean the restrooms from the 1-in-100 homeless (and non-homeless) who trash them. Some experiments were done with self-cleaning public bathrooms, but they're not a scalable solution due to large physical size and high capex and opex costs.
You do not understand how secure boot works. As a developer, I pick my own keys to use for signing on my devices. I do not trust Microsoft, but that’s moot: they have nothing to do with my use of secure boot. Source: I an a senior embedded engineer that has implemented secure boot for paying customers, across multiple devices and processor architectures.

That said, I despise vendors that lock down their devices using secure boot. This is unquestionably hostile behavior toward consumers, as the protection from malware usually also prevents user modification.

I wish there was a way to force disclosure of this anti-feature, as I actively avoid buying products that do not allow me to load my own keys and images.
The challenge is that as you shrink individual room size, it gets harder to give every room a window. It can be done--though you may have to have smaller windows. And you basically need to have a more linear design or something that otherwise has a lot of outside surface.
I don’t think GP is referring to the “race” to VR, but the fact that the article tried to insult VR by calling it a white person.
That's exactly what this is. They killed off the Oculus brand and now it's Meta. You will need a Meta account. I'd be surprised if it doesn't use the Facebook auth system with a different skin.
What do you see replacing "traditional news outlets"? I have a number of strong criticisms, but I don't really see the alternatives as better, or at least not the alternatives that we have right now.
>Richard Saul Wurman said, “you only understand something relative to something you already understand.” It’s true: when learning something new, you must scaffold new concepts atop things you already know. But the new structure must eventually stand on its own — i.e., if the structure is to carry weight, you must dismantle its scaffolding. This dismantling can take time.

Very nicely put. I've also gained from reading beginner programming books when I'd call myself an intermediate level programmer.

It is so plainly obvious that this "prosecution" of Assange is so political that he should not be extradited. Yet, it's the fact that US prisons are so inhumane that is keeping Assange out of the US. What a national embarrassment.

You have a way: freedom. You're free to not associate. You can choose alternatives to UCSB, Apple, Facebook, lousy jobs, high tuition, etc. Sure you won't get the benefits those offer, but nobody is compelling participation. That's why Americans (at least some of them) are so fiercely adamant about their rights, to a degree that puzzles many: the right to choose differently, however foolish it may seem to others, is the right to choose and is the right "to protect ourselves against what the rich are doing to the rest of us".

lipu esun mi: (shopping list, literally: my buying document)

1 kili palisa jelo mute (bananas, lit: many yellow stick-fruits)

2 kala pi loje walo (salmon, lit: red-white fish)

3 moku kasi laso supa (salad greens, lit: flat green plants for eating)

4 telo walo (milk, lit: white drink)

5 kili kiwen lili mute (nuts, lit: many small hard fleshy-plant-food)

6 pan supa sike (pita, lit: flat, round grain-product)

It's worth noting that the translations are ambiguous and personal; if I gave this list to a stranger I might end up with pizza crust instead of pita, or nut milk instead of cow milk. If I wanted to explicitly specify nut milk I'd have to say something like "telo walo pi kili kiwen lili" (lit: white drink of small hard fleshy-plant-food). Having said that, even in English people generally wouldn't go into that level of detail on a personal shopping list. When my partner writes "milk" on the shopping list I know they actually mean a "half-gallon of whole milk" based on prior experience.
All the continents are being "hit" by climate change already. People are already relocating due to conflicts and poverty driven by droughts and changing climates disrupting traditional lifestyles. Flooding, forest fires, hurricanes of greater intensity, droughts with no end-in-sight and none of it limited just to the coastal regions of popular media analysis. It's time to stop talking about this as something that will happen in the future and acknowledge it's already happening and change our behavior accordingly.
