I hope folks don't mind me posting this new video here, I think a lot of people don't realize that we here at Microsoft have free Visual Studio Community with tools for Node.js development with our IDE. Its a cool story and a hard working team, so I'd love for a wider community to know that it exists as an option for them. Heck it even has remote Linux VM remote debugging of Node.js :)
Privacy, in the context of the government, also means freedom to be left alone. I think that's quite an important freedom to have.

We really need to make stronger arguments for privacy. Too many people conflate real privacy (which I believe virtually nobody actually wants to give away, if they truly understand what giving it away means) with "sharing stuff on Facebook and Instagram".

One is an obvious choice, and the other (the government, or even companies through non-transparent trackers, knowing everything about you) is not, but is forced upon you.

The complaints about Twitter on this forum all basically follow the same theme: Twitter won't let me do such-and-such when I try to read/write the content, or Twitter forces me to read/write in such a way. You can read each of those at your own leisure.

The major shareholder of the article wants Twitter to provide a more Facebook-style algorithm-decides-what-you-read, which Twitter indeed seem to be insistently experimenting with. That's a major turn-off for me and I think a misjudgement. People currently move from Facebook to Twitter as their primary social network because of exactly that problem. Personally, I want to decide for myself.

I like to see my network content, the content that I have already curated for myself, in chronological order. For whatever reason, social networks would prefer me not to have easy access to that any more.

Ideally, I would like to have the ability to take everything I have written on Twitter (content that I have provided) and easily transfer it to an alternative host.

I would like Twitter to give me the freedom to do that - so that I don't feel that I have to do it.

Hey I made that page!
"4. Your comment about "blogging, teaching and tweeting" is true, but I think it is clearly an improvement compared to the previous system. Portfolio based systems are almost always better than credential based systems."

Are they really though? On what basis?

99% of my best work can't form part of my portfolio. I spend 2 hours of my own time on L&D each week day. Maybe 30 minutes of it is on projects I could present. In a year that's ~120 hours max. I'm not going to be doing anything really impressive from a portfolio POV with less than a month of full time work put into it.

Even worse is the trend I'm seeing where people drop the Learning from L&D altogether so they can invest more time into presentable projects. It is stunting their growth as developers... even as it improves their hireablility.
That's actually a hard question. People seem to care more about the remembering self than the experiencing self. Give "Thinking Fast and Slow" a read. It has a very interesting discussion of this topic.
I once got in touch with a counsellor to find out whether I had ADHD (because shrinks are in low supply here), and while she wasn't a certified ADHD specialst, she generally worked with troubled youth. While she didn't diagnose me with ADHD, she recommended me a mindfulness book to use instead.

For those who want a good free programmer education and are willing to put in some work to get it: look at source code, not blogs, and work on projects with experienced programmers, don't just read what they write.

There's a natural alignment of incentives when you're working on the same codebase as someone who actually knows what they're doing. Any mistake you make, they have to fix, and so they have good reasons to see you get up to speed as quickly as possible.

Another good heuristic for online forums and comments: the shorter the comment, the greater the chance that the person actually knows what they're talking about. Experienced people often might throw out a quick correction because it costs them nothing, but have no desire to get into a big debate because their time is more valuable than that.

Also, it's not so much that the routing engines are proprietary -- the best ones are not. The underlying databases are the secret sauce.
sure, but the Anglo Saxon words sharing common roots with German have diverged at lot once you get beyond phrases as simple as "mein Name ist". It's not just a reflection on the English education system that after 5 years of high school German (and an A grade!) I could often grok more from a text written in a Romance language I hadn't learned than written German.

On the plus side, German has no sounds English speakers should find difficult to pronounce, nicely regular word order and a fondness for compound words which are as simple to remember as they are long, but by the standards of European language groups the vocabulary really isn't that similar.

I like the simple syntax of the underscore convention, and I also appreciate that the article's approach actually enforces the encapsulation. I wonder if there's a convenient way to use this structure and also keep the simpler syntax.

Heck, you could probably make a macro such that `this._foo` compiles to `this[privateProperties.foo]`, but I'd probably scream about how misleading that is…

They probably do. Having only "the terrorists" using encryption would make them much easier to spot. Encrypted traffic from your IP could become probable cause for a search warrant.
This looks really cool, but I'm always instinctively turned off by the pull model.

- Assuming metrics are stored in memory, they'll be lost if the app or server recycles. Of course, a push model should probably batch so there's probably some kind of overlap here.

- I've heard pull is good for detecting if a server is down. The flip side is no automatic discovery and dynamic scaling where a server going down might not necessarily be a bad thing.

- Security. Not super thrilled with exposing something that says "Hey come get my data".

Reminds me of MS's azure ML offering, among others. I would be loath to use a black-box service to plug and play like this, as I think understanding the right models to build and the outcomes you want to get are crucial parts of using data science well.

However, I can see this being useful for certain folks who want to get some initial integrations done, with a clear upsell to the customization and hard stuff. I think you'd need to rework this page to be a lot more about product applications and walk-through examples - as it stands, to a non-data person it reads "blah blah data model blah automatically blah optimization blah machine learning", when it would be more powerful reading "add product recommendations to your site in 5 minutes".
Nice numbers, thanks.

Is Elephant even available, though? Even if someone has a low end chip but needs a high IO rate and thus must turn off Elephant, why kill off the feature? That's what's so odd. They admit it's critical, then go on to completely delete it, no mention of why (until this one line explanation now). For many users, the perf impact is irrelevant. I rarely do high rate IO (boot and copying movies); even large compiles I doubt are hitting the 100MB/sec level.

At 5cbp, even a low end Atom will get 100-200+MB/sec, right? What low end devices are pushing that on any frequent enough basis to hurt the user?

And, given their weight, they could have forced these requirements into eDrive, and offload it all to the SSD controller.

This is kind of odd, and one reason I'd like to see the actual interpretation from the Division of Banking -- and not just Coinbase's "understanding" of it.

There's nothing there that seems to support the 100% reserve requirement identified as Coinbase's understanding of Wyoming rules. Even with the next section after the bit you quote [0] that allows substituting deposit for the security bond, it uses the same amount. Since the amount is actually $10,000 or 2.5 times the "outstanding payment instruments", whichever is greater (and, on renewal, is calculated based on the average daily balance of the prior year [1]), I don't see where any 100% requirement comes from. If we assume that bitcoins held in hosted wallets are "outstanding payment instruments", it would actually be a 250% requirement -- either for the amount of the surety bond or the deposit in lieu.

I'll let the other answers stand for explaining Kaggle and their game, and try to answer "overfitting" with an ELI5 example.

Here is a hypothetical problem: Please write a calculator program, that takes input from stdin, containing one arithmetic expression per line (integers and + - etc), and simplifies the expression, returning one integer per line. Here's a sample input/output pair!

Input
2+2
3+1*2

Output
4
5

And you're all clever, and you write the following program:

# python
print "4\n5"

Congratulations, you pass my sample test case, but you have overfit your model to the sample data, and it will not generalize to other datasets for the same task.

If this were a Kaggle contest, and there were a leaderboard on how well people are doing on the sample data, you'd have a perfect score on the leaderboard. But then when it's time to see who wins the contest, and I try your program against some other inputs, you'd get 0%. Ha ha, funny joke you played!

I've used OSMAnd on my phone and found it to be comparable to or better than a standalone Garmin unit, but nowhere as good as Google Maps. That's doing the route calculations on the phone itself using pre-downloaded data, and I'm not sure how much detail gets stripped in the packaging process. You can't search for a particular house number, for example. In some states and on some highways it'll tell you which lane you need to be in for the right exit ramp, but that level of detail seems to be pretty spotty.

Seeing how cheaply the KGB compromised FBI and CIA agents, it's probably a price many can reach. You don't need to compromise the key, just fake evidence so as to put the target under suspicion and get it decrypted. They must often chase down false leads, so this might be rather unnoticeable.
Very thoughtful feedback, thanks!

Related to your last point:

> How about finding ways to compensate those who already produce valuable content in the commons, so they can have more time to do what they already do well?

This is actually what I've been trying to do with my own reader-funded project (http://practicingruby.com). I've been modestly funded for five years now to produce free documentation for Ruby programmers (and really anyone who is interested in software development that can read Ruby).

Occasionally, we've paid contributors to help us publish articles. Right now I'm trying to do a Kickstarter to give us some seed funding to really expand the number of contributors we can work with, and my existing subscription revenue will fund me so that I can assist these folks with editing, research, code cleanup, etc. That helps expand the pool of potential contributors, because folks don't need to be expert programmers or writers, they just need to be working on something interesting and willing to try to share their knowledge and experience with others.

Those who want to support the contributors fund are welcome to do so here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/828998531/practicing-ru... -- 100% of this money will go to the authors of the articles, I'm not keeping any for myself.
High school and even undergraduate college gives you a rather late-19th, early-20th century view of what "math" is. A lot of math doesn't involve "numbers", per se. So, as a programmer in your self-described situation, my advice is to work through the math in Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs [1], commonly referred to as SICP, and to do so seriously.

Does it not feel like math? That is, alas, a deficiency in your education, but don't feel bad, it's a deficiency in most people's education. It's math, and directly applicable to what you are doing in life.

Now, these other suggestions are fine too. But I find it to be very, very practically useful to be able to take apart the very concepts of computation, and thereby learn how to reassemble them to suit my whims, and not be swept away by the fads of the day.

The SICP is a concentrated load of exactly what you missed out on by not getting a formal computer science education. I honestly would likely prefer someone with 3 or 4 years of industry experience and the ability to prove they really worked through the SICP (not just read over it once, but worked it through) over someone with a 4.0, a bachelor's degree, and nothing else.

Here's a nice summary of which (main) Python libraries now work with Python 3:

http://py3readiness.org/
Yes, we know that preference involves more than ordering and that "strengths" are relevant to decision making. We know this because it explains an obvious empirical matter, that there are scenarios like the one you cite where we prefer X over Y, but end up choosing Y over X. Not a puzzle; not a paradox; how it is. And of course the way we tease out the "strength" of your preference involves, e.g., looking at how your choice varies between counterfactual scenarios involving different probabilities.

But the question is whether a "score" given by a voter on a ballot indicates anything psychologically interesting, and, more importantly, whether it indicates anything relevant to the "judicious" selection of a candidate. It seems to me that, empirically, the only meaning we can _seriously_ assign to a "score" on a ballot is a relative-scoring-as-indicative-of-relative-preference. I don't know how "10 to A, 20 to B" could indicate anything beyond the simple fact that the voter prefers B to A. And surely my "10 to A, 20 to B" needn't have the same meaning as your "10 to A, 20 to B" -- I think all we can really say is that we both prefer B to A. What else?

Now, you might want to try to interpret these "scores" as something like a hypothetical question put to the voter about how much they might pay to have this-or-that person elected; but if you know anything about self-reports of this kind about hypothetical scenarios, you know that people are horribly inaccurate (either intentionally or not), and that the setup is contrived. Serious measures of preferences involve actual stakes, markets, etc. Good luck with that here.
> There really is no arguing against that.

You are sarcastic, but it really is the case. Some of these addresses were proven to belong to exchanges, for example these 240,000 BTC belonged to Bitstamp: https://blockchain.info/address/12sENwECeRSmTeDwyLNqwh47Jist...

So of course this single address at the time represented hundreds of thousands of Bitstamp users. Ditto for the other 10,000+ BTC addresses that belong to other exchanges.
Nah. Ebay already solved that problem.

> They must have something substantial enough to warrant a press release.

Not really. If the purpose is draw community intention, promote a feeling of regulatory barriers as a problem, and create pressure against regulation elsewhere, they don't need either customers in WY or any actual WY government interpretation to make it worthwhile to issue a press release.

Well, unless people actually dig into the supporting facts, in which case it might seem kind of silly if there wasn't anything underneath it.
