I think over half of this article is wildly speculative hyperbole. "Here is a list of things we can imagine that DOGE might do with this data: 1. Invent super solider zombies. 2. Blackmail you (you specifically are at risk here) 3. Sell all the data to China who will work with Israel and Mexico to conquer America

You should be extremely worried! Run in Fear of what might come to pass!" because some guy filled out a request to have admin access to some government data stores. Ridiculous. Between United, BCBS, and existing Chinese infiltrations into OPM and telcos your data is already compromised by real / confirmed bad actors. This is disappointing click bait from the Atlantic and their editors should be ashamed of its publication.

should somebody tell them about ML models?

Estimated 6 Billion USD of a hole on the FTX side.

I love it! Can you add SSL though? Does it support gzip compression? What about Brotli? I like that it's small and fast so in addition to serving static files can it act as a reverse proxy? What about configuration? I'd like to be able to server multiple folders instead of just one?

Where can I submit a feature request ticket?

This would basically preclude anybody from interviewing at the FANGs. I believe they have all adopted the Google style leetcode college level trivia questions, completely divorced from the realities of the job. Their processes are so tightly controlled and the duties of the job so far removed from the interview process that I can't imagine what would happen even if you successfully navigated to a job offer.

"Oh congratulations, you made it! You won't see any of the people you interviewed with ever again. You'll be placed on 1 of 3 teams that do things we've never spoken to you about. I'm sure you are going to love it here!"

From a random internet site: " The data are correct.

But most people treat 'data' as a singular noun, especially when talking about computers etc.

For example:-

The data is being transferred from my computer to yours.

And I have to be honest, I've never heard anyone ask for a datum. "

It could be the case that the scientific pluralization is leaking into regular usage because more people are collectively reading / reporting on scientific studies. Alternatively, Google / Grammarly and similar tools might be suggesting it because it's been seen in their training data / examples.

In any case, IMHO 'datum' is a singular point of information, any reference to multiple points of information would make the noun plural.

A serious and urgent question, when did "data" a collective noun warrant a plural verb ex. "the data are ambiguous"

"Data" was not treated this way in the past and now it is everywhere. Where did it come from and why did it change?

I for one would love to see Crank.js take off in popularity, shoot up in usage, implement hooks, then be consumed by the next light weight super focuses JS framework.

I think after 20 years of this repeating pattern JS frameworks might finally die off. We can only hope!

YOLO Tesla call options - Pretty obvious. Or Kodak, both great companies.

Ars had a good article on community fiber build outs in the UK

Sad to say but that's probably what communities in the US will have to do as well.

Given its produced by a ".ai" company I would imagine they are using a U-Net derived ML model and not traditional OpenCV methods.

You can read more about that approach here:

Good results though for sure and very handy for quick image edits.

Do we know if Venezuelans' use social media? I've got an idea...

I don't understand why the site isn't using React?

every time somebody makes a new react / angular derivative a unicorn loses it's horn.

In the name of the general welfare, to protect the people's security, to achieve full equality and total stability, it is decreed for the duration of the national emergency that:

Point One. All workers, wage earners and employees of any kind whatsoever shall henceforth be attached to their jobs and shall not leave nor be dismissed nor change employment, under penalty of a term in jail. The penalty shall be determined by the Unification Board, such Board to be appointed by the Bureau of Economic Planning and National Resources. All persons reaching the age of twenty-one shall report to the Unification Board, which shall assign them to where, in its opinion, their services will best serve the interests of the nation.

Point Two. All industrial, commercial, manufacturing and business establishments of any nature whatsoever shall henceforth remain in operation, and the owners of such establishments shall not quit nor leave nor retire, nor close, sell or transfer their business, under penalty of the nationalization of their establishment and of any and all of their property.

Point Three. All patents and copyrights, pertaining to any devices, inventions, formulas, processes and works of any nature whatsoever, shall be turned over to the nation as a patriotic emergency gift by means of Gift Certificates to be signed voluntarily by the owners of all such patents and copyrights.

"when we had to tell 10 talented teammates that their journey with us was over" - Gavin Belson

So privacy protection isn't an absolute right, more of a relative / subjective one and the deciding authority on the subject should be the internet at large. Weird to hear that kind of thinking on hacker news...

Yo app got a $1,000,000 from Andreessen Horowitz, so they kind of got a deal if you think about it that way

So the same company that didn't want to help investigate somebody who killed 14 people because of privacy concerns believes the government has a moral obligation to help them debug their software / hardware platforms. Yup, that makes sense.

I enjoy the subsidy, but VC money is rarely "VC money" it's mostly LP money from pension funds, endowments etc., and when they fail there is usually a bail out from a large publicly traded corporation which again is spending everybody else's money. Certainly, wealth is extracted along the way by the VC's, bankers, stock traders, laywers, etc; however, I think at the end of it the joke and the bill are coming at the expense of the average person.

I'm glad somebody finally wrote something on this. I would love to see the incomes for all the delivery workers (drivers / packers etc) broken down revenue and net income minus taxes, gas, vehicle maintenance, benefits, referral fees, and incentives etc. I can't imagine people are really making a solid hourly rate.

the Washington Post has really gone down hill since Bezos bought them

You're so close! just change it to "Learn Raw Javascript - No React - no jsx ..."

But since its pushing people in the right direction, I approve your message.

You've never really made it big until somebody says you're over.

Twitter isn't going anywhere, the very fact that they have survived terrible corporate management, high level turnover, and failed advertising initiatives proves the significant value of their content.

Frankly the use of the word "intelligence" to describe advanced pattern recognition algorithms is pretty laughable. Nobody is even close to anything the involves actual thinking / learning. I think your day jobs are safe.

The limited partners who give VCs money include managed pension funds, college endowments, and others that very much relate to middle america. It's not all the VC's money that is being burned. They get a 2% annual rake and they can usually ponzi scheme their way to profitability through existing relationships or getting out profitably at the initial IPO price of a company (very rare these days)

Governments and more specifically democracies evolve over time. They benefit from all the ones that have come before them and failed. It could be that the inevitable conclusion of any democratic society is a last ditch power grab made by the unlucky person standing in office when if all falls apart. It's happened quite a few times before, and I don't see any reason why this time around would be different. I for one welcome our new overlord Trump and look forward to the new government that forms in his wake.

Yeah me too, whenever I have a bug it's just my way of testing user loyalty.

Your treatment in the US would have involved something like 5 doctors, $100,000 billing (probably not payments since those things are only vaguely related) and 2+ years of your time.
