Tl;dr Two researchers claim they can use convolutional neural networks to pick criminals from pictures.

For the criminals they use pictures from government id cards. For non-criminals they searched the internet for random pictures.

These bozos just trained CNN to pick government id photos.

This is scary stuff because police are not very technically savvy and use biased scoring systems already[0].

At SXSW one year IBM had Watson come up with a bunch of new recipes to try. I thought they all tasted awful. Some things are just not suited to the current AI tools.

Edit: typo

This is not an issue just for China. Naver/kakao in South Korea also are like this. Apps that are all-inclusive are the norm. It's because the government is picking winners. Ie, someone tied to the government.

Edit: Alternately, West-style VC wasn't funding companies so Asian gov't stepped in.

> email

I agree that it's likely not "either" but both email addresses matching but I'm convinced that some friend recommendations come from gmail. There's no other way.

My guess because it will save them a few $$$. Millions at stake here. Why would someone do a MITM attack against 5 secs of intro audio?

Obviously the NSA would.

Exactly. This is how you do it. But you'd be surprised how complicated this is.

No, I used Mac then Windows in the PowerPC days, then back to MacOs on the switch back to Intel. I still need to use Windows for work sometimes and I still think some things about it are better (file management). But in so many ways it's way better. If I needed to build a high end video/gaming workstation now I would buy a PC. But I would still have a mac laptop to do everything else. Let's see what Apple comes up with, but my guess is that this is the reality going forward.

HTTPS works in most places too.

Edit: the HTTP vs HTTPS is interesting. My guess is because it is slightly cheaper to use HTTP and they serve a fuck load of music. But this only saves you from MITM attacks. People can still grab music out of their cache. So confusing.

I'm not sure if Spotify does this, my experience is mostly in video, but if some or all content is going to be encrypted, you start with a small http/unencrypted section and then get the license to play the encrypted part. This is because you can put the unencrypted section on a edge CDN but getting a license is going to have to go through a server that could have some significant time (say up to a couple of seconds depending). This makes it so you start right away (better UX).

I do have some experience in music, and this is likely for uncompressed or hidef playback. Some labels force encryption for hidef (but in general most of the music services stream straight progressive unencrypted even though their contracts require encryption in all cases).

Edit: but doing this is really tough. You're going to need to stitch together those two stream without a gap. This takes a lot of engineering. I've done this in flash and pure js. So this is not an arbitrary decision.

Welcome to America. People who complain about tipping annoy me. I agree it's a pain to have to tip but companies in America like to not pay their employees.

Instead of giving the tipping option Uber should just automatically add 15%. But knowing Uber they would just keepo this 15% and not pass it on to the driver.

I'd like to see country of origin for tweets/accounts. I know this can be worked around with a vpn, but it's a start.

Saw one of these on a dive in the Maldives. The colors of it's shell are mind blowing. Glad I didn't try to pick it up.

Sorry, are you saying that all interactions have to go along the "Battle Chess duck" trope?

I see many other options. One, Intel invests 7b in a 7nm factory, oh shit 7nm is delayed, Trump elected, announce same factory now option.

No, I will if it happens again. As you said, sometimes pile ons happen because of breaking norms.

I think you're right.

For the moment companies are reiterating long standing plans for US mfg jobs. But making it sound like new projects. A small number might be new. This is PR.

My guess is that this is not because they like Trump but because trade wars will hurt indiscriminately. So try to create enough cover for his base so he doesn't go "full retard".

Yeah, they had problems with the 14nm process and are delaying the 7nm process. I think it's actually 10nm now. It seems like there is some concern that we will get to 7nm.

This announcement is Trump PR. It's smart business. Get out of the way.

I don't have a solution, but "contact the mods" is not it.

Edit: But huge props to gzpm Edit: No, I'm happy to talk to the mods. But really this has been not serious. It's about -20 now. Edit3: I will contact them tomorrow. But again I don't have much to stand on. I called out a user etc etc etc.

OK, again you're saying Clinton = Trump. Or Clinton < Trump. She for sure was a war monger. That concerned me. But she never called for banning muslims.

I feel this is an argument between two people that generally agree but are arguing about some small point.

grzm, Thanks. I feel like there is brigading going on. But I was wrong to call out a user. And obviously if people want to down vote that's their right.

I didn't delete it because if I make a mistake I own it. When I realized calling out another user was probably not right it was too late.

If you read through my comments you'll see that although I sometimes post on controversial topics, I'm not a troll.

Again, thanks for jumping in here.

Edit: but know, every time I reply to you I get down voted.

I'm still having a hard time.

Hillary never called for a ban on Muslims. Trump has many times. You can argue about the ban being a "muslim ban" or not, but the previous statement is fact.

Thanks grzm. But I've seen a bunch of posts where people can't downvote after 500...but some people can.

I'm not interested in down voting anyone.

Edit: I've gone down 16 pts in the last hour. I know part of this is me being an ass initially, but clearly people w/ downvote ability are piling on...

Edit2: Yes, Me being an ass and idiot. Here'e the post that ended at 400

Sorry, Busy. Black people are Americans. So they can choose to do what they want like the rest of us.

Are you going to come out for us? I'm coming out for you either way.

grzm, why are only a few people to be able to downvote? Again, I'm not against down voting. I'd like just upvoting. NO downvoting. Or all up/voting.

Again, I'm not speculating. If you allow a few to down vote all, you have a big fucking problem.

Proof that bullies own the voting system...

OK. Are you saying Clinton = Trump? All I have to say here is I thought Gore = Bush. But 200k people died. So electing a president gets a little more nuanced.

Look, we're not fighting about some abstract %. Can we agree to fight together? My whole point in this thread was that AA should join the anti-ban movement.

Edit: added not

I posted this later[1]. I think overall voter turnout was slightly down. Also, I am not blaming Hillary's loss on specific demographics. Just let's not start fighting with each other. We all need to step up and get in the game for all.

I'm going to be honest with you that sarcasm is sometimes hard. Your feed compared to an alt-right feed are just missing context and pepe (joke). Esp since you have Alex Jones in there...
