And the Reds, don't forget about the Reds.

Why is it that most of these data breaches seems to come fromthird parties that are contracted to serve their clients good, and then fall on their faces.

Is it because of that Willie Sutton "That's where the money is," or is it because these third parties have indemnified themselves legally, and really don't care?

Second question, would it even be a problem if the credit reporting agencies didn't make the Banks think your personal information was what really identified you, and your business value?

There's a lot of truth in this, the cost of building data warehouse solution for this type of solution would be on the order of 400 hours. Excel is radically cheep, and the maintaince cost is spread out over every instance the reports are created. For many cost centers like finance, it's very difficult to justify spending 2.5 person-months of effort on a single problem that seems operationally costless, until it's cost at least twice more in failure, than the solution would.

OK, so ya, I didn't give many qualifications. But implications that ML is improving coding (or at least "in a different way") needs some qualifications and examples. I'll even except that ML can optimize algorithms and "improve page rankings." BUT, it needs some pretty good examples and boundaries. Warden is trying to push us away from thinking his post is a "deep learning hype" piece, but that's exactly what it is.

I mean he says "What I’m seeing is that the problem is increasingly solved by replacing the whole stack with a deep learning model!" But where's the evidence, and what is the "whole stack." Your whole stack may not be my whole stack.

Ya, I'm calling BS. Give us some concrete examples of how ML/AI/DL is doing anything other than burning CPU cycles on public clouds that drive up revenue for the cloud vendor.

Male gametes are continuously produced, while female gametes are 100% present at birth. Transcription errors occurs during replication which may be as much of a factor as male vs. female gonad tissue depth.

Priceless! I'd totally click. (No I wouldn't)

They could be worse. They could just give no discernable response like a tty shell login...

Even for those web sites that don't have the feature it's the top three browsers (Chrome, Firefox, and IE) will all let you see any saved passwords by just inspecting the fields DOM properties...

It's that whole right to left thing. Messes with a right hand view of the world.

Probably the actual reason 9 volt batteries are demonized is because they haven't been on regular use on consumer electronics since the 80's. Partly because we don't use discrete 2N2222s any more, and because they ate just really big compared to their mAH ratings.

Here the TSA's training rationale, and it comes from the the way military was trained 50 years ago. 1 assume most trainees can barely read and that basic arithmetic is difficult. 2 train said employees to identify edge cases by building straw man arguments that include concrete examples. Be sure these concrete examples are things that "normal" people don't do. In this case, use laptops, wear shoes, or use electronics with square 9 volt batteries.

There's also a secret code. My wife packed a Play Doh kit wrapped in Christmas paper for me to deliver to my nephews when on a business trip. The screener rightly asked to hand check the contents, removing the paper and viewing the contents of each container. As the best retiree was telling me that I would have to leave the Play Doh behind, the supervisor came over and said there was a new regulation and Play Doh was ok (it wasn't explicitly listed on the i.e. banned items list).

Now that I've shared this, I'm sure I will receive the "enhanced" (finger tips in your pants) screening. At least that's what happened last time...

I prefer the 18th century terrorist, who covered collaborators in hot tar and feathers, and disposed of taxes products by making salty tea.

Nope, just a higher rad x-ray beam. Which means it penetrates further, but any rad-tech will tell you, more photons does not make a prettier picture.

As I've been reading comments, I fully suspect the STA is being trolled just like the leftivist SJWs that think the OK Hans sign is a secret white supremacy gang sign.

We are in a state of affairs where beaurocrats in will take any sliver of evidence to establish and extend their political power.
