Many people have priorities beyond romantic love. A sense of accomplishment or a sense of ethics can often be more important at times.

I think you've got it backwards. For the last 200 years, the government has mostly functioned as an extension of wealthy people/corporations. Heck, the revolutionaries of the Boston Tea Party were upset that legally imported Briti

People's opinions are remarkably malleable. Read some accounts of how soldiers change during and after fighting. Watch how the audience acts at a rock show. Check out the people on a nude beach vs the sidewalk just off the beach. Norma

They're actually trying to give you the lowest rate they can while staying profitable, you know, to be competitive with other lenders. There's no baseline, all our characteristics are inputs to a function that estimates risk of de

It's illegal to stalk and harass, it's not illegal to make phone calls. The issue is not facial recognition, it's the misuse. I'm all for gun control, not gun ban. Cameras in the bathroom? Fine. Whatever. If that's

Au contraire, much of machine learning (learned?) software is simply the data used to train it. I think we can all agree that generic image recognition is benign and should be permitted. How about a database of publicity photos from famous

Where's the line that separates generic image recognition from facial recognition? Forget corporations for a moment and think about your own rights as a programmer. I want to tinker with image-similarity scores by downloading random im

Not really, this same vulnerability would apply to F/OSS. It's just that the users never changed the password from the factory default. The article is sensationalist, but it's not news.

Sad, if so. I'm a paying user of Evernote. I have noticed that it hasn't really gained new features lately.

Or worse, if they ask you to type your password into a phone keypad (eg. the 9 button stands in for [9w-zW-Z] and 0 for all punctuation). Not only does this mean they're storing your password in plaintext, but reducing the character se

You're right. The parent didn't provide enough information on the use of Cython. And frankly, there's no better way to find out whether PyPy supports a particular C extension than to try it.

In that case, I'm very curious about what measurements were used for the costs of maintenance and the size of the project. It's often very difficult to disentangle a single project from all its dependencies and that shouldn't

It's hard to take any action based on that fact without further information. Even a gambler couldn't use that tidbit without conditioning on things like the current score. Or am I missing something?

Citation needed? It is common for a large Python project to use some modules with C extensions. There are many examples of people able to write more sophisticated programs in Python than C. Comparing PyPy with CPython, the choice of Python

The author seems to have a very narrow view of "data science". In the comments he criticizes all of machine learning as simply unprincipled revival of nonparametric curve estimation. While there's much truth to the "unpr

I'm surprised no one on the team was familiar with multivariate analysis. That's the wrong way to say it. Let me rephrase more carefully... I'm surprised no one used more sophisticated analysis techniques to allow an experime
