For people saying the settlement isn't enough. That's probably true, but it's not a bad settlement as class actions go. Class action litigation has a number of problems, partly because plaintiffs' attorneys working pure contingency have little incentive to see claims all the way through, and partly because judges and juries are skeptical of claims against large, respected companies.

In this case, there were a number of challenges. The first of which was that the DOJ settled with a slap on the wrist.[1] That's a very strong signal to both the court and jurors that the claims aren't a slam-dunk. Second, remember that in a civil case you don't just have to prove that the defendant did something wrong. You have to prove every element of the often multi-facted claim. Finally, there's a lot of back-and-forth with experts. Defendants can afford to hire the world's leading economists to say that the damages were less than claimed. Plaintiffs will have experts, but they're unlikely to be able to front the money for them to do as thorough a job.

$412 million would be over 10% the plaintiffs' experts estimated damages of $3 billion. That's not an atypical recovery in a class action settlement.

[1] Contrast this to the LCD price fixing cases, where the DOJ's levying $500+ million in fines resulted in big civil settlements.

Look up the Darwin-Lotka Energy law, a/k/a the Maximum Power Principle.

Specifically of interest:

Winning Darwin's game happens to be about dissipating more heat than your competition.

That is almost precisely the statement of the Darwin-Lotka Energy Law (also "the maximum power principle") coined by ecologist Howard T. Odum, based on the work of Charles Darwin and A.J. Lotka:

In its brief form: the maximization of power for useful purposes is the criterion for natural selection.*

Darwin's theory of evolution then becomes a general energy law.

But let's explore the idea that anything distributed in an executable format should expose the distributor to liability.

How do you define executable? I mean, what about languages which are optionally compiled, or python or ruby packages for example? And when you say distributor, do you mean distributor or do you mean author? Eg, is Github responsible because they hosted/distributed my code?

Those documentaries are largely correct. Over 80% of the biomass of the oceans has been lost in the past century, and a substantively similar amount of non-human, non-domesticated vertebrate terrestrial biomass.

"Researcher Reports Stunning Losses in Ocean Fish Biomass"
28 February 2011
Edward W. Lempinen
http://www.aaas.org/news/researcher-reports-stunning-losses-...

In the past 100 years, 80% of the biomass of fish in the world’s oceans has been lost, Christensen says in a AAAS video that coincided with a symposium at the Annual Meeting. “Just in the last 40 years, we have lost 60% of the biomass,” he explained. “So we’ve seen some very serious declines, and there’s no doubt about what the cause is: We’re talking about overfishing—overfishing at the global scale.”

There's been a similar huge transformation in both the absolute and relative amounts of terrestrial vertebrate biomass, as plotted by +Paul Chefurka:

I understand DNSSEC may not be the perfect solution, but many arguments are misguided. Worse yet, no real solution has been posed in its stead that works perfectly. But here I go again. In fairness, there are some valid arguments. I'm cherry picking pieces I find questionable.

DNSSEC is a Government-Controlled PKI -
DANE is not DNSSEC. Why conflate the two?

DNSSEC is Cryptographically Weak -
Wait, what? That's like saying openssl is cryptographically weak, since it allows you to create weak keys. You can use ECDSA with DNSSEC. Minimal research would have revealed that.

DNSSEC is Expensive To Adopt -
It is up to the software to decide how to handle failure cases. Software with security in mind should do the proper checks. Others should display warnings. Others should probably just accept the answer.

DNSSEC is Expensive To Deploy -
What? DNSSEC is braindead simple to deploy. It literally takes a handful of minutes.

DNSSEC is Incomplete -
Unclear...not positive how DNSSEC relates to browser implementation.

DNSSEC is Unsafe -
I'll possibly give you this one, but stand by that you shouldn't hide in plain sight. That is, why put 'hidden' records in a public zone?

DNSSEC doesn’t have to happen. Don’t support it. -
DNSSEC has already happened. People ask for it. However, largely, I support the argument. Start a working group, propose a better alternative, and replace it. I'm all for that, believe it or not.

No, what is happening is someone making the instructions on how creating a lamp public and saying "I use this lamp in a controlled environment where using it cannot hurt anyone. If you try to use it outside of a similar controlled environment it may explode in your face, create a black hole and/or anhilate the universe. I don't really know, since I did not test it in that environment. Use it at your own risk."
Then people go and use it outside that controlled environment, maybe making other people pay for using the lamp created following the instructions.

And now the creator of the instructions is liable for damages? Wait, what?

Microsoft seems to be making a habit of not taking these vulnerabilities seriously enough, as this is the second time in the past few weeks that this has happened.

3 months is more than enough time to fix an important vulnerability that is potentially being exploited in that time period and longer. The threat of shouting it to the world should be enough to make it a top priority.
Yea, so at Lambda, depending on the application, we use either convolutional neural networks or layered neural networks initialized with unsupervised training using autoencoders to do the feature extraction from images. The features are either passed through a softmax layer or used as a "siamese" network. (Siamese networks provide a similarity metric as opposed to a probability distribution over labels.[3])

As far as recognition goes, most modern algorithms don't use fiducials (what you call 'nodal points') to do recognition. So there's nothing in our code that has to do with interocular distance or mouth width, etc., so all of the features are "learned". However, fiducials are used to do a frontalization or re-alignment step before passing it through the feature extractor (neural network or otherwise). This type of frontalization step allowed Facebook's deepface algorithm to use locally learned filters for their CNN as opposed to shared weights.[1][2]

There's no 'superstition' about artificial colors - many are implicated in health effects and banned in countries that take that more seriously than profits.

Adequate substitutes for colors include carrots, beets, and turmeric, which don't involve fat or sugar. I don't even believe fat and sugar are harmful... They're food.

The way to avoid presevatives is to eat food that's actually fresh. This isn't difficult to do.

Coke is certainly not better than nothing - that's the sort of thing I recommend water instead of. And, the topic is chronic dehydration that leads people to complain to me of headaches, muscle aches, etc and then, as noted, be frustrated when they refuse to drink somethin hydrating. Not sure why you think dehydration is not a problem.

yup, hopefully removal of any top-level vdev and rebalancing data in a pool.
The alternative to artificial colors is not very good... It's either using natural colorants such as carrots, beets or turmeric, or cooking food that doesn't require coloration to appear appetizing. Typically only very low quality food devoid of nutritional value resorts to artificial coloring.

Manufacturers can choose less harmful presevatives such as vitamin E vs bha/bht, but choose not to for their own economic reasons.

I'm able to avoid presevatives because I cook a lot of good myself, from scratch. This involves cooking vs say, watching tv and is actually cheaper than processed or fast foods. Cooking rice and beans from scratch is not first world privelege - eating synthetic compounded beans from Taco Bell is, actually.

> You can leave your job at any time, but when you do so you can't require another company to hire you

Thats a fair argument, however I don't think "freedom to leave" would mean much if you couldn't leave a company because no other company would hire you and your only other option would be to starve. Its why food stamps and unemployment make sense.

On the other hand, what would exit from a country without another country to go to mean?

> A huge wave of unskilled immigration is practically certain to weaken the US enough to increase, not reduce, the number of places like North Korea that are outside the US's military reach.

> Chinese and Indian "right to pursue happiness" has very little to do with US mass immigration policy; trade policy, technology transfer, Pax Americana, and the like have been far more relevant for a long time.

We're debating morality here, which is subjective, but I'm not stupidly deontological. If open borders leads to a world which I rank lower morally than a world without then restrictive borders it is.

In general, I feel valuing a person differently depending on which state they're born in is immoral, similar to judging them by race.

i.e. 2 similar individuals who are both skilled, both want to work and are both being hired should not be treated differently depending on which state controls their passport. On the other hand geographical distance, cultural ties etc are obviously valid points of difference.

It seems that the version numbers don't adequately convey the magnitude of change that the author knows has happened to the software. Point releases changes have hundreds to a thousand bug fixes. While that's not necessarily a major release (because it doesn't break backwards compatibility) it certainly seems worth a point release.

They appear to be fixing this in the new version, when released it should be 5.0.0. But until then, the latest point release has 1100 fixes.
I didn't realise that DS 2D graphics were so traditional and primitive. I suppose this explains why everything used pixel art: all the sprites were true hardware sprites.

Not that it's a bad thing. Hardware sprite rendering is very efficient, in terms of both speed and power consumption. That's important.

I assume the DS's 3D rendering pipeline is completely different.

Actually, Ilya explains his statement regarding minimizing training errors in his comment exchange with Bengio:

"Although I didn't define it in the article, generalization (to me) means that the gap between the training and the test error is small. So for example, a very bad model that has similar training and test errors does not overfit, and hence generalizes, according to the way I use these concepts. It follows that generalization is easy to achieve whenever the capacity of the model (as measured by the number of parameters or its VC-dimension) is limited --- we merely need to use more training cases than the model has parameters / VC dimension. Thus, the difficult part is to get a low training error."
It's true. In many states, you are guilty of assault if you threaten someone sufficiently, even if you had no intention of carrying out the threat. It's true for a number of violent crimes.

Not sure why the GP got downvoted for stating facts, though I don't know the details of the murder-for-hire plot, so perhaps it somehow doesn't pertain in that particular case.

Regardless, it's a legit thing. So be careful about threatening people with bodily harm.

> Well I think we're slowly getting better at this. There's many cases (at least in the US and Europe) of fisherman organising themselves to avoid an entire ecosystem collapse.

We have done that for rivers (which had gone dry) in the US already, but selling property rights (or exploitation rights instead of property) for water zones could help prevent the overexploitation of sea resources. Once you own the zone or the exploitation rights, it's all in your interest to actively limit fishing in order to keep the value of your property over the long term. Trusting fishermen to limit themselves is a nice idea, but incredibly naive. In the mediterranean, there are strict limits for tuna exploitation and they are violated every single year by these fishermen, and not enforced properly.
