Why bother! In 10 years in California I have never seen anyone get pulled over for carpool lane violations, but pretty much every time I'm on the road, I witness one.

Would Russia (assuming it's the source of this attack) have suffered collateral damage / friendly fire on its own satellite terminals?

Maybe give safe harbor to ransomware operators who target Russia in the same way that Russia gives safe harbor to ransomware operators as long as they don't operate domestically https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/05&

Yes I think that's the idea and the reason why it's taking a while to set up. Maybe they'll take bitcoin? It will be a test of whether this can really be a backup form of payment against the will of states.

The internet in all its duct tape glory. Prime example of trade-off between cleanliness of implementation and backwards compatibility. As much as I like a pristine, pure spec, the market winners are clear. It pays to keep product debt aroun

Yes. My tips for this * Say yes first. Acknowledge everything and say what you agree with. * Use the phrase "tell me more." Use this to get context in a nonconfrontational way (as opposed to "why" which can get people in

I see many answers arguing that doctors treat everyone the same regardless of their criminal past. That's ethically right, and the victim's family doesn't have to like it either. PETA doesn't have to like it either. My g

I wasn't thinking it'd be useful, but more that it's good to remain as free as possible from any assumptions about the schema of the data. I often work with tables that have unusually large schemas (> 100MB) and have seen

Very cool Design goal question - is the goal to have a language that blindly compiles to SQL, or will compilation require data schema knowledge? Suggestion: where possible stick to the well established SQL keywords (prefer "group by&

Lack of knowledge and humility? People look at some of the top companies, lionized as they are for their exclusive hiring process, and don't see themselves as belonging there. All the more so as they don't know anybody there. Mean

Not true when the problem is outreach, eg companies that rely too much on existing employees' alumni and social networks to recruit. I know of some people from historically underrepresented backgrounds who'd never have been hired

Earmarking revenue just gets worked around. If an agency's budget is $100M from the general operating budget, and $20M earmarked revenue suddenly comes in to that agency, their share of the general operating budget will simply be reduc

Right. In other words the amount of vulnerable wait time is a direct consequence of wanting to fit ever increasing amounts of cargo on fixed infrastructure. How do truck shippers protect their wares? 1 driver per truck with eyes on the load

We already all pay for theft via the embedded insurance premiums in shipping costs.

Or just keep trains moving. I'm shocked that US freight trains are left parked for so long in areas known to be theft-prone with poor fencing. I don't think these kinds of thieves would risk their lives going after a train running

I think it's a very good point but you also aren't going to convince a lot of people without offering concrete solutions to the immediate issue. What are they, in your opinion? I personally think if the company kept its trains mov

I think the point was that the number of thefts made outside the prison by people who are in the prison is necessarily zero, unless they escaped. Do you need data to be convinced of this?

by ridaj 5y ago
Prevent the theft, don't just deter it through legal consequences. Increase perimeter security (barbed wire, electrical fence) so that it's harder to get onto the rails in the first place. Keep trains moving - don't park them

I tend to think it's even more true for smaller companies that do not have the margin for too many mistakes. FAANG do not have an all-A cast. They have enough buffer to weather the odd mishire; and they also have enough projects going

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signal_velocity - my understanding is that the speed is driven by interactions between the trace and its surrounding material, which creates capacitance and inductance along the path

Fascinating... Thanks for sharing A couple questions: 1) I didn't really understand how you went about identifying what vectors of the latent space stand for various things, like pose or color. Did you train one of the AIs to that effe
