Inequality
The MD4SG inequality working group studies how optimization, incentive design, and machine learning can mitigate or magnify social and economic inequality.
We are especially focused on provision and targeting of social programs: when and how should resources be directed specifically to the most vunlerable members of the population?
How should these individuals be selected? Beyond these core questions, our research interests are wide-ranging, including both the philosophical underpinnings of economic design and the practical realities of studying institutions that serve vulnerable populations.

UPDATED: Court remands Mompha over alleged N32.9bn money laundering
- The Federal High Court in Lagos has remanded Mompha over alleged N32.9bn money laundering
- The suspect arrived at the Federal High Court in Lagos for his trial
- Mompha was arraigned by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)
- The EFCC had instituted a 14 count-charge against the suspect bordering on internet fraud and money laundering
Following allegation of money laundering to the tune of N32 billion, the Federal High Court has ordered that the suspected internet fraudster, Mompha, known as Mompha, be kept in the custody of the Nigerian Correctional Services.
The verdict was read by Justice Mohammed Liman on Monday after Mompha pleaded not guilty to the charges made against him the EFCC.
Moreover, the court fixed Friday, November 29, for the hearing of the bail application filed by the suspect.
Recall that Legit.ng had reported that Mompha would be arraigned by the anti-graft agency on Monday, November 25.
Update: IG big boy Mompha to remain in custody over N33b money laundering charge
This is as the agency already filed a 14-count charge bordering on alleged money laundering and other related crimes against Mompha. He would be prosecuted by EFCC's lawyer, Rotimi Oyedepo, before the Federal High Court in Lagos.
Among allegations levied against the suspect was that he procured Ismalob Global Investment Limited and retained its bank account the sum of N18.05 billion, which the EFCC described as proceeds deeds.
In another post, Legit.ng reported that the commission released a statement concerning the arrest of Mompha.
It disclosed that Mompha, under the guise of handling a Bureau De Change, allegedly committed internet fraud and money laundering.
It was also revealed that he admitted to being involved in two cases levelled against him. However, a recent video of Mompha shared on social media got Nigerians talking.
PAY ATTENTION: Get the Latest Nigerian News Anywhere 24/7. Spend less on the Internet!
The video showed Mompha being paraded while in EFCC custody with a smile on his face and a suitcase that was loaded with his watches valued at over N20 million.

Week 4
Computer Controlled Cutting and Laser Cutting
This week we learned how to laser cut. Our first Assignment was to make a clock. I designed a clock that had the score and date of when the cavs won the championship and a picture of Lebron Dunking. I designed the clock using Corel Draw. I then used Corel Draw to make a Pen box for my second assignment. The box was connected with living hinges.

*
* @signature `can.Construct.setup(base, fullName, staticProps, protoProps)`
*
* A static `setup` method provides inheritable setup functionality
* for a Constructor function. The following example
* creates a Group constructor function. Any constructor
* functions that inherit from Group will be added to
* `Group.childGroups`.
*
*
* Group = can.Construct.extend({

*
* @param {constructor} base The base constructor that is being inherited from.
* @param {String} fullName The name of the new constructor.
* @param {Object} staticProps The static properties of the new constructor.
* @param {Object} protoProps The prototype properties of the new constructor.
*
* @body
* The static `setup` method is called immediately after a constructor
* function is created and
* set to inherit from its base constructor. It is useful for setting up
* additional inheritance work.
* Do not confuse this with the prototype `[can.Construct::setup]` method.
*
* ## Example
*
* This `Parent` class adds a reference to its base class to itself, and
* so do all the classes that inherit from it.
*
* ```
* Parent = can.Construct.extend({
* setup : function(base, fullName, staticProps, protoProps){
* this.base = base;
*
* // call base functionality
* can.Construct.setup.apply(this, arguments)
* }

* Child = Parent({});

/**
* @function can.Construct.extend extend
* @parent can.Construct.static
*
* @signature `can.Construct.extend([name,] [staticProperties,] instanceProperties)`
*
* Extends `can.Construct`, or constructor functions derived from `can.Construct`,
* to create a new constructor function. Example:
*
* var Animal = can.Construct.extend({
* sayHi: function(){
* console.log("hi")
* }
* })
* var animal = new Animal()
* animal.sayHi();
*
* @param {String} [name] Creates the necessary properties and
* objects that point from the `window` to the created constructor function. The following:
*
* can.Construct.extend("company.project.Constructor",{})
*
* creates a `company` object on window if it does not find one, a
* `project` object on `company` if it does not find one, and it will set the
* `Constructor` property on the `project` object to point to the constructor function.
*
* Finally, it sets "company.project.Constructor" as [can.Construct.fullName fullName]
* and "Constructor" as [can.Construct.shortName shortName].
*
* @param {Object} [staticProperties] Properties that are added the constructor
* function directly. For example:
*
* ```
* var Animal = can.Construct.extend({
* findAll: function(){
* return can.ajax({url: "/animals"})
* }
* },{}); // need to pass an empty instanceProperties object
*
* Animal.findAll().then(function(json){ ... })
* ```
*
* The [can.Construct.setup static setup] method can be used to
* specify inheritable behavior when a Constructor function is created.
*
* @param {Object} instanceProperties Properties that belong to
* instances made with the constructor. These properties are added to the
* constructor's `prototype` object. Example:
*
* var Animal = can.Construct.extend({
* findAll: function() {
* return can.ajax({url: "/animals"});
* }
* },{
* init: function(name) {
* this.name = name;
* },
* sayHi: function() {
* console.log(this.name," says hai!");
* }
* })
* var pony = new Animal("Gertrude");
* pony.sayHi(); // "Gertrude says hai!"
*
* The [can.Construct::init init] and [can.Construct::setup setup] properties
* are used for initialization.
*
* @return {function} The constructor function.
* ```
* var Animal = can.Construct.extend(...);
* var pony = new Animal(); // Animal is a constructor function
* ```
* @body
* ## Inheritance
* Creating "subclasses" with `can.Construct` is simple. All you need to do is call the base constructor
* with the new function's static and instance properties. For example, we want our `Snake` to
* be an `Animal`, but there are some differences:
*
*
* var Snake = Animal.extend({
* legs: 0
* }, {
* init: function() {
* Animal.prototype.init.call(this, 'ssssss');
* },
* slither: function() {
* console.log('slithering...');
* }
* });
*
* var baslisk = new Snake();
* baslisk.speak(); // "ssssss"
* baslisk.slither(); // "slithering..."
* baslisk instanceof Snake; // true
* baslisk instanceof Animal; // true
*
*
* ## Static properties and inheritance
*
* If you pass all three arguments to can.Construct, the second one will be attached directy to the
* constructor, allowing you to imitate static properties and functions. You can access these
* properties through the `[can.Construct::constructor this.constructor]` property.
*
* Static properties can get overridden through inheritance just like instance properties. In the example below,
* we override both the legs static property as well as the the init function for each instance:
*
* ```
* var Animal = can.Construct.extend({
* legs: 4
* }, {
* init: function(sound) {
* this.sound = sound;
* },
* speak: function() {
* console.log(this.sound);
* }
* });
*
* var Snake = Animal.extend({
* legs: 0
* }, {
* init: function() {
* this.sound = 'ssssss';
* },
* slither: function() {
* console.log('slithering...');
* }
* });
*
* Animal.legs; // 4
* Snake.legs; // 0
* var dog = new Animal('woof');
* var blackMamba = new Snake();
* dog.speak(); // 'woof'
* blackMamba.speak(); // 'ssssss'
* ```

* @function can.Construct.prototype.setup setup
* @parent can.Construct.prototype
*
* @signature `construct.setup(...args)`
*
* A setup function for the instantiation of a constructor function.
*
* @param {*} args The arguments passed to the constructor.
*
* @return {Array|undefined} If an array is returned, the array's items are passed as
* arguments to [can.Construct::init init]. The following example always makes
* sure that init is called with a jQuery wrapped element:
*
* WidgetFactory = can.Construct.extend({
* setup: function(element){
* return [$(element)]
* }
* })
*
* MyWidget = WidgetFactory.extend({
* init: function($el){
* $el.html("My Widget!!")
* }
* })
*
* Otherwise, the arguments to the
* constructor are passed to [can.Construct::init] and the return value of `setup` is discarded.
*
* @body
*
* ## Deciding between `setup` and `init`
*
*
* Usually, you should use [can.Construct::init init] to do your constructor function's initialization.
* You should, instead, use `setup` when:
*
* - there is initialization code that you want to run before the inheriting constructor's
* `init` method is called.
* - there is initialization code that should run whether or not inheriting constructors
* call their base's `init` methods.
* - you want to modify the arguments that will get passed to `init`.
*
* ## Example
*
* This code is a simplified version of the code in [can.Control]'s setup
* method. It converts the first argument to a jQuery collection and
* extends the controller's defaults with the options that were passed.
*
*
* can.Control = can.Construct.extend({
* setup: function(domElement, rawOptions) {
* // set up this.element
* this.element = $(domElement);
*
* // set up this.options
* this.options = can.extend({},
* this.constructor.defaults,
* rawOptions
* );
*
* // pass this.element and this.options to init.
* return [this.element, this.options];
* }
* });
*
*/
can.Construct.prototype.setup = function () {};
/**
* @function can.Construct.prototype.init init
* @parent can.Construct.prototype
*
* @description Called when a new instance of a can.Construct is created.
*
* @signature `construct.init(...args)`
* @param {*} args the arguments passed to the constructor (or the items of the array returned from [can.Construct::setup])
*
* @body
* If a prototype `init` method is provided, `init` is called when a new Construct is created---
* after [can.Construct::setup]. The `init` method is where the bulk of your initialization code
* should go. A common thing to do in `init` is save the arguments passed into the constructor.
*
* ## Examples
*
* First, we'll make a Person constructor that has a first and last name:
*
* ```
* var Person = can.Construct.extend({
* init: function(first, last) {
* this.first = first;
* this.last = last;
* }
* });
*
* var justin = new Person("Justin", "Meyer");
* justin.first; // "Justin"
* justin.last; // "Meyer"
* ```
*
* Then, we'll extend Person into Programmer, and add a favorite language:
*
* ```
* var Programmer = Person.extend({
* init: function(first, last, language) {
* // call base's init
* Person.prototype.init.apply(this, arguments);
*
* // other initialization code
* this.language = language;
* },
* bio: function() {
* return "Hi! I'm " + this.first + " " + this.last +
* " and I write " + this.language + ".";
* }
* });
*
* var brian = new Programmer("Brian", "Moschel", 'ECMAScript');
* brian.bio(); // "Hi! I'm Brian Moschel and I write ECMAScript.";
* ```
*
* ## Modified Arguments
*
* [can.Construct::setup] is able to modify the arguments passed to `init`.
* If you aren't receiving the arguments you passed to `new Construct(args)`,
* check that they aren't being changed by `setup` along
* the inheritance chain.

Security Policy Risk Simulator
An exploratory simulation game featuring the real-life complexities of corporate information security.
Goal
Your job is to balance low risk with low productivity costs. Become the best security manager in the industry.
How to play
- You need to login or register in order to play.
- When you enter the game, you are introduced to your new job - CISO at the energy company Global Sparks.
- Design the company security policy, so that you keep both risks and productivity cost low.
- Manage the incidents occurring under your security policy.
- See how your policy compares to policies designed by others.
This is a work-in-progress demonstration. Project SPRKS is being developed at UCL Information Security Research Group and is supported by Intel and IBM. Code is open source under the MIT license. The development process is accessible on GitHub.
The website is tested to work with the Chrome Browser.
Settings
Your Company
Global Sparks is an international energy company, currently headquartered in London, which has begun to expand its operations internationally. In line with this strategy it started buying local electricity suppliers in the US in the early 2000s, and built up a substantial group of companies, primarily located on the West Coast. This period of rapid expansion has left the company somewhat fragmented internally, and this has begun to cause problems in terms of both business and security. To deal with this issue it has been going through a process of consolidating its acquisitions into a single company. An unfortunate side effect of this process has been a recent wave of redundancies. Almost all IT Support staff have been dismissed, because Global Sparks decided to outsource this function to a company based in India. A period of growth has followed the consolidation, and the company has started to hire again, but mostly in the form of contractors (staff on limited-term contracts, and without health and pension benefits). Many of these contractors are former employees of the companies Global Sparks acquired, and who had been made redundant. You have been hired as part of this process as a permanent security manager, with a brief to ensure that the consolidated company has not inherited any security weaknesses from its disparate components. Immediately several issues have come to light, resulting from both the mergers and the fluid hiring situation.
To aid you in your work please speak to one of the members of staff on the main map to get an idea of what the culture is like at Global Sparks:

Timeplot is a DHTML-based AJAXy widget for plotting time series and overlay
time-based events over them (with the same data formats that
Timeline supports).
Here is a live example:
New Legal Permanent Residents in the U.S. (per year) vs. U.S. Population vs. U.S. History
More Live Examples
- Energy Prices in the U.S. since 1975: this timeplot shows how the cost of gasoline in the US is strongly correlated with oil import from foreign countries, while the cost of electricity is not as strongly correlated.
- Housing vs. Stock Market in the U.S. since 1975: this timeplot shows the trends of growth for two of the biggest investment sectors in the U.S., housing and the stock market, in relationship with monetary inflation.
- Immigration in the U.S. since 1820: this timeplot shows the amount of people that legally obtained permanent residency in the U.S. over almost 200 years.
- George W. Bush Approval Ratings: this timeplot shows the sampled approval ratings of George W. Bush's job as president of the U.S. over his 2 terms until until today.
- SIMILE Project Statistics: this series of timeplots shows the statistics of the SIMILE project collected by analyzing web server and mail server logs. This example shows how Timeplot is able to post-process the data
to plot things like differences between two columns or the moving average of a time series on the fly.

[2019-02-13T19:00:39+0100] <@danielbeck> #startmeeting
[2019-02-13T19:00:47+0100] <@danielbeck> huh
[2019-02-13T19:00:50+0100] <@danielbeck> where's the bot?
[2019-02-13T19:01:11+0100] <@danielbeck> anyone else here?
[2019-02-13T19:01:23+0100] <antoinne> I'm here
[2019-02-13T19:01:35+0100] <ogondza> bot on a vacation, it seems
[2019-02-13T19:01:47+0100] <@danielbeck> rtyler any idea where the meeting bot is running?
[2019-02-13T19:02:00+0100] <batmat> o/
[2019-02-13T19:02:02+0100] • tracymiranda: didn't know bots got to take vacations
[2019-02-13T19:02:25+0100] <@danielbeck> it's the new trend, so we survive the machine uprising
[2019-02-13T19:02:26+0100] • batmat: you tyrant
[2019-02-13T19:03:01+0100] <@danielbeck> I guess no rtyler around either, so I guess we'll need to do this manually today.
[2019-02-13T19:03:09+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> o/

[2019-02-13T19:03:52+0100] <@danielbeck> well, no meeting on the 30th of Jan it seems
[2019-02-13T19:04:02+0100] <@danielbeck> #info http://meetings.jenkins-ci.org/jenkins-meeting/2019/jenkins-meeting.2019-01-16-18.00.html
[2019-02-13T19:04:13+0100] <@danielbeck> kohsuke around? Did you write to Rick?
[2019-02-13T19:04:56+0100] <@danielbeck> doesn't look like it, so let's move on
[2019-02-13T19:05:02+0100] <@danielbeck> #topic LTS status check and baseline selection
[2019-02-13T19:05:10+0100] <@danielbeck> ogondza please tell me you're around
[2019-02-13T19:05:18+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> There was a meeting on Jan 30 IIRC
[2019-02-13T19:05:19+0100] <ogondza> yep
[2019-02-13T19:05:38+0100] <ogondza> There was noone around two weeks back
[2019-02-13T19:05:55+0100] <@danielbeck> I know we don't have a bot around, but could we try to keep to the topics? :)
[2019-02-13T19:06:10+0100] <ogondza> re LTS, the thing was tested and we are ready for .3
[2019-02-13T19:06:15+0100] <@danielbeck> \o/
[2019-02-13T19:06:35+0100] <@danielbeck> #action kohsuke to release 2.150.3
[2019-02-13T19:06:44+0100] <@danielbeck> (I will ping him after this)
[2019-02-13T19:07:15+0100] <@danielbeck> This means we now need to select the new LTS baseline per https://jenkins.io/download/lts/#model
[2019-02-13T19:07:23+0100] <@danielbeck> any suggestions?
[2019-02-13T19:07:29+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> #info https://jenkins.io/changelog/
[2019-02-13T19:07:43+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> 2.164 looks good so far
[2019-02-13T19:07:58+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> My preference would be to have 2.164 or 2.163 as a baseline
[2019-02-13T19:08:23+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> We would need it for Java 11 support in LTS should we want to announce it in the next LTS baseline
[2019-02-13T19:08:34+0100] <@danielbeck> do we have enough Java 11 feedback from 2.163 re JAXB plugin detachment, including with plugin dependencies and such?
[2019-02-13T19:09:10+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> We do not have telemetry for it so far, but the detachment action should NOT impact Java 8 users
[2019-02-13T19:09:14+0100] <batmat> depends if you mean "no issue reported" qualifies as feedback
[2019-02-13T19:09:35+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> batmat implemented it in a way that JAXB does not appear as a detached dependency for Java 8 users
[2019-02-13T19:09:55+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> Hence users will avoid issues like jdk-tool in Docker last year
[2019-02-13T19:10:06+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> And yes, no issues reported
[2019-02-13T19:10:25+0100] <@danielbeck> sounds good. no concerns about 2.164 then from my side.
[2019-02-13T19:11:01+0100] <@danielbeck> ogondza ?
[2019-02-13T19:11:01+0100] <ogondza> oleg-nenashev: does 2.164 something java11 specific except for the flag requirement removed?
[2019-02-13T19:11:24+0100] <@danielbeck> back to default update center
[2019-02-13T19:12:05+0100] <ogondza> danielbeck: not sure I am following you
[2019-02-13T19:12:18+0100] <@danielbeck> To clarify, "Jenkins now uses the standard update center by default when running with Java 11."
[2019-02-13T19:12:29+0100] <@danielbeck> so it's actually removing Java 11 related special behavior
[2019-02-13T19:12:29+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> ogondza danielbeck Yes, just some reverts
[2019-02-13T19:12:54+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> Reverts are backportable to 2.163.x if we want to take 2.163 as a baseline
[2019-02-13T19:13:07+0100] <@danielbeck> all the changes in 2.164 look reasonable, unless something weird like apache mina regressions pops up
[2019-02-13T19:14:10+0100] <ogondza> yeah, when we should go with 2.163 it should better be with component updates (mina, remoting)
[2019-02-13T19:14:19+0100] <ogondza> s/with/without/ or course
[2019-02-13T19:14:46+0100] <@danielbeck> remoting looks trivial -- https://github.com/jenkinsci/remoting/pull/316/files
[2019-02-13T19:15:02+0100] <ogondza> indeed
[2019-02-13T19:15:12+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> MINA patch should not impact the default flow if a system property is not set
[2019-02-13T19:15:39+0100] <@danielbeck> right, I misread that as a Mina update, when it's not
[2019-02-13T19:15:41+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> JENKINS-55050 would be my main concern about 2.164 TBH
[2019-02-13T19:15:41+0100] <@danielbeck> https://github.com/jenkinsci/sshd-module/pull/26/files
[2019-02-13T19:16:02+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> JENKINS-55050 is just a serious change inside the core
[2019-02-13T19:16:16+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> But I believe we would like to get it backported anyway
[2019-02-13T19:16:27+0100] <@danielbeck> oh, good point
[2019-02-13T19:16:29+0100] <@danielbeck> hold on
[2019-02-13T19:16:48+0100] <@rtyler> I /names
[2019-02-13T19:16:50+0100] <@rtyler> derps
[2019-02-13T19:17:07+0100] <@danielbeck> I think I saw an issue related to the security fix, unsure what release though
[2019-02-13T19:17:11+0100] <@rtyler> I'll see what's up with the meetingbot, I hadn't noticed that it went on vacation
[2019-02-13T19:18:00+0100] <ogondza> I do not feel strongly against 2.164, the changes indeed looks minor
[2019-02-13T19:18:08+0100] <batmat> \o/
[2019-02-13T19:18:26+0100] <@danielbeck> nvm, https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-56114 is in 2.150.2, so not in the weekly due to 2.164
[2019-02-13T19:19:12+0100] <@danielbeck> so yeah, would recommend we decide on 2.164 with the usual provision that in case we notice it's garbage in the next two weeks we'll reconsider
[2019-02-13T19:19:27+0100] <ogondza> as always
[2019-02-13T19:19:29+0100] <ogondza> fine with me
[2019-02-13T19:19:37+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> +1 for 2.164
[2019-02-13T19:19:49+0100] <@danielbeck> +1 for 2.164
[2019-02-13T19:20:09+0100] <@danielbeck> any further opinions? now's the time to speak up
[2019-02-13T19:20:25+0100] • rtyler: has no opinions (on this subject)
[2019-02-13T19:20:52+0100] <ogondza> going once
[2019-02-13T19:21:17+0100] <@danielbeck> going twice
[2019-02-13T19:21:38+0100] <@danielbeck> #agreed next LTS baseline with be 2.164
[2019-02-13T19:21:44+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> yey
[2019-02-13T19:21:51+0100] <@danielbeck> #action ogondza to update calendar with 2.164 based releases
[2019-02-13T19:22:21+0100] <@danielbeck> #topic Java 11 Support Update && GA support in the new LTS baseline
[2019-02-13T19:22:25+0100] <@danielbeck> oleg-nenashev this is yours
[2019-02-13T19:22:30+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> OK, that's me
[2019-02-13T19:23:01+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> Since we head towards 2.164.1, it means that there will be a silent launch of Java 11 support in 4 weeks
[2019-02-13T19:23:12+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> I want to make sure everybody is fine with that
[2019-02-13T19:23:48+0100] <batmat> fine by me, obviously (disclaimer: I participated in that initiative)
[2019-02-13T19:23:56+0100] <@danielbeck> what does that mean exactly?
[2019-02-13T19:23:57+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> We will have a discussion about it at the Platform SIG meeting tomorrow, but the things look good so far
[2019-02-13T19:24:18+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> silent launch = you will not receive a warning if you start Jenkins with Java 11
[2019-02-13T19:24:59+0100] <@danielbeck> why not a loud launch? :)
[2019-02-13T19:25:24+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> We have not finished PCT and ATH runs analysis for 2.164
[2019-02-13T19:25:38+0100] <@danielbeck> makes sense, thanks
[2019-02-13T19:25:48+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> We might be able to finish it by .1, and then we could have a loud launch if we want
[2019-02-13T19:26:08+0100] <ogondza> should we expedite the ATH results so we can celebrate>
[2019-02-13T19:26:11+0100] <ogondza> ?
[2019-02-13T19:26:28+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> ogondza: Would be great. There is a patch from Ramon waiting for merge
[2019-02-13T19:26:56+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> It is related to JAXB changes in 2.163. And that's why we need to update our tooling again
[2019-02-13T19:27:10+0100] <ogondza> we will have a look at that
[2019-02-13T19:27:10+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> No more manual library additions, yey!
[2019-02-13T19:27:25+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> #info https://github.com/jenkinsci/acceptance-test-harness/pull/478
[2019-02-13T19:28:14+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> If we discover major issues with Java 11, we can revert Extras Executable WAR update at any moment
[2019-02-13T19:28:54+0100] <@danielbeck> sounds great
[2019-02-13T19:28:54+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> So, if nobody is against, I would like to proceed with the current state of 2.164.1 target
[2019-02-13T19:29:10+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> And be sure we will contribute a lot to RC testing this time :)
[2019-02-13T19:29:39+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> Any questions? Is anybody against?
[2019-02-13T19:29:53+0100] <@danielbeck> I don't think there's an #agreed/#action to record here? Just reaffirming 2.164 will be the baseline (including executable-war change), and move on?
[2019-02-13T19:30:18+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> fine with me
[2019-02-13T19:30:36+0100] <@danielbeck> let's move on then
[2019-02-13T19:30:38+0100] <@danielbeck> #topic Outreachy update & next application period
[2019-02-13T19:30:41+0100] <@danielbeck> tracymiranda this is yours
[2019-02-13T19:30:46+0100] <@danielbeck> #info https://groups.google.com/d/msg/jenkinsci-dev/yaPrguId_sY/lSs7mHaxAAAJ
[2019-02-13T19:30:50+0100] <tracymiranda> thanks
[2019-02-13T19:31:09+0100] <tracymiranda> yes so current stage of outreachy is going well with our 2 interns
[2019-02-13T19:31:19+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> or "we proceed with Java 11 silent launch in 2.164.1 unless major issues are discovered. Revert or Loud Launch may be considered as options depending on the testing reults"
[2019-02-13T19:31:27+0100] • oleg-nenashev: is bad at typing
[2019-02-13T19:31:34+0100] <tracymiranda> i'll wait...
[2019-02-13T19:32:53+0100] <@danielbeck> oleg-nenashev I think "let's keep all options open and start with doing nothing" doesn't need much agreement ;-)
[2019-02-13T19:33:13+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> :D
[2019-02-13T19:33:18+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> thanks tracymiranda
[2019-02-13T19:33:24+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> and sorry for interruption
[2019-02-13T19:33:24+0100] <@danielbeck> "nothing" meaning backing out executable-war, creating blog post, etc. -- right now we're on track for silent launch
[2019-02-13T19:33:35+0100] <@danielbeck> tracymiranda please go ahead
[2019-02-13T19:33:41+0100] <tracymiranda> Thanks
[2019-02-13T19:34:11+0100] <tracymiranda> OK so outreachy - all is going well - last month we passed the mid-point feedback point for our interns
[2019-02-13T19:34:23+0100] <tracymiranda> And time has come to consider next round
[2019-02-13T19:34:43+0100] <tracymiranda> Matt Sicker has been doing excellent job as lead mentor and is keen to carry on
[2019-02-13T19:34:55+0100] • rtyler: claps
[2019-02-13T19:35:12+0100] <tracymiranda> But this depends on being able to fund another round
[2019-02-13T19:35:27+0100] <tracymiranda> Also conscious of the overlap with GSoc too... so want to see how best to manage that
[2019-02-13T19:35:36+0100] <@rtyler> from a budget standpoint we can fund another Outreachy round
[2019-02-13T19:35:51+0100] <tracymiranda> that's great to hear
[2019-02-13T19:36:06+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> If we can fund only 1 round, next winter might be preferable
[2019-02-13T19:36:07+0100] <@rtyler> were we to join the CDF, I'm not sure how the transfer of assets or effect on our ability to pay things will work out during such a transition period
[2019-02-13T19:36:33+0100] <@danielbeck> We pay 1 intern and outreachy might pay another? Or would we commit to paying for 2?
[2019-02-13T19:36:38+0100] <tracymiranda> for cdf & gsoc I asked and that was no problem because of googles involvement
[2019-02-13T19:36:49+0100] <tracymiranda> I think we can commit to 1 and see what happens
[2019-02-13T19:37:02+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> So, same as last time
[2019-02-13T19:37:09+0100] <tracymiranda> I might be interested to see if we can do more on a docs like project as might have some mentors to tap into for that...
[2019-02-13T19:37:24+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> We got the second student thanks to fundraising by outreachy
[2019-02-13T19:37:47+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> tracymiranda: GSoC has a big pool of projects this year
[2019-02-13T19:37:57+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> It is clear that not all projects will be accepted
[2019-02-13T19:38:10+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> We could try having a shared pool this year
[2019-02-13T19:38:42+0100] <tracymiranda> Similar to gsoc, I think I should ask about outreachy and potential move to CDF too and see if any issues with transition...
[2019-02-13T19:38:56+0100] <tracymiranda> shared pool sounds good
[2019-02-13T19:39:11+0100] <tracymiranda> yes, very impressive list of gsoc projects
[2019-02-13T19:40:10+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> #info https://jenkins.io/projects/gsoc/2019/project-ideas/
[2019-02-13T19:40:15+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> We can add more there
[2019-02-13T19:40:23+0100] <tracymiranda> OK first off here's what I propose
[2019-02-13T19:40:34+0100] <tracymiranda> I contact Outreachy and ask about the CDF transition
[2019-02-13T19:40:52+0100] <tracymiranda> If no red flags expect we can proceed with next round with 1 slot
[2019-02-13T19:41:03+0100] <@rtyler> that makes sense to me
[2019-02-13T19:41:16+0100] <tracymiranda> Propose a set of projects that may include some from gsoc pool?
[2019-02-13T19:42:46+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> +1
[2019-02-13T19:43:02+0100] <@rtyler> if the gsoc peeps are fine with that, I'm fine with that :)
[2019-02-13T19:43:49+0100] <tracymiranda> let me also examine dates for how these two overlap, homework before next meeting
[2019-02-13T19:43:55+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> Well, we can figure it out with tracymiranda at the next meeting to make 100% sure that all org admins are okay
[2019-02-13T19:44:24+0100] <tracymiranda> +1
[2019-02-13T19:44:26+0100] <tracymiranda> then next meeting will also do formal ask for budget assuming no problem with cdf transition
[2019-02-13T19:45:36+0100] <@rtyler> sounds good
[2019-02-13T19:45:40+0100] <@danielbeck> #action tracymiranda to ask outreachy about impact of move to CDF
[2019-02-13T19:45:43+0100] <@rtyler> shall we move on?
[2019-02-13T19:46:03+0100] <tracymiranda> yes,
[2019-02-13T19:46:06+0100] <@danielbeck> tracymiranda who will propose set of projects? You?
[2019-02-13T19:46:39+0100] <tracymiranda> I'll solicit some from community...
[2019-02-13T19:46:48+0100] <@danielbeck> ok
[2019-02-13T19:47:04+0100] <@danielbeck> and anything further around the next meeting then?
[2019-02-13T19:47:53+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> "GSoC update (Oleg Nenashev )" ?
[2019-02-13T19:48:09+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> But it is quick
[2019-02-13T19:48:25+0100] <@danielbeck> was hoping I could get clarification on AI but we can move on to that
[2019-02-13T19:49:11+0100] <@danielbeck> #topic GSoC update
[2019-02-13T19:49:17+0100] <@danielbeck> oleg-nenashev please proceed
[2019-02-13T19:49:48+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> So, we have applied to GSoC 2019. ETA for the Google's decision -Feb 26
[2019-02-13T19:50:02+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> Meanwhile we still accept project ideas and welcome new mentors
[2019-02-13T19:50:28+0100] • rtyler: claps

[2019-02-13T19:51:46+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> I also did a Role Strategy release on Tuesday, which was fully powered by GSoC contributions
[2019-02-13T19:52:04+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> So we get some nice progress even now
[2019-02-13T19:53:22+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> I will be bringing in some new contributors, stay tuned

[2019-02-13T19:53:39+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> BTW, does anyone want a Jenkins online hackathon site? :)
[2019-02-13T19:54:01+0100] <@danielbeck> oleg-nenashev probably best discussed elsewhere
[2019-02-13T19:54:12+0100] <@danielbeck> oleg-nenashev anything else on GSoC? More bragging? :)
[2019-02-13T19:54:17+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> Yes. We discussed it at Advocacy and Outreach SIG meeting
[2019-02-13T19:54:29+0100] <@oleg-nenashev> Nope, no more bragging from me
[2019-02-13T19:54:42+0100] <@danielbeck> plenty of good news though
[2019-02-13T19:54:50+0100] <@danielbeck> #topic next meeting
[2019-02-13T19:55:07+0100] <@danielbeck> that would be Feb 27, same time, same place
[2019-02-13T19:55:25+0100] <@danielbeck> #endmeeting


Currently implemented are the
proton-proton I chain,
triple-alpha process,
CNO-I process,
alpha-burning (alpha-ladder) process,
Carbon burning, and
Oxygen burning.
Note that the last step of the alpha ladder actually produces 56Ni, which subsequently decays to 56Fe! There are other steps (such as in CNO) that also involve β decays. This is an incomplete but hopefully fun overview of nucleosynthesis!


Radial Flow¶
The radial flow introduced in [REZENDE2015] with the parametrization used in [TRIPPE2018]. The flow was originally designed for variational inference and sampling. Therefore it doesn’t easily fit our use-case of density estimation. Since we especially need the inverse \(f^{-1}(x)\) of the flow to be easily computable, we invert it’s direction, defining it as a mapping from the transformed distribution \(p_1(x)\) to the base distribution \(p_0(x)\). Hence the flow is called InvertedRadialFlow in our implementation and the forward method is not implemented.
To ensure \(f(x)\) exists we have to constrain the parameters of the flow:
\(\alpha \geq 0\) needs to hold. Therefore we apply a softplus transformation to \(\alpha\)
\(\beta \geq -1\) needs to hold. We apply \(f(x) = \exp(x) - 1\) to \(\beta\) before assignment
Jacobian determinant:

Academia is a Self.  Academic ignoring of Time Prism - greatest scientific discovery of all, yet it is explained to them. Word enslaves human mind more efficiently than shackle. Word is Evil, for it 'counterfeits' Deed and teaches Liar is God.
It "degradates"4/16 family life and destroys all civilizations.
Truth in Word is counterfeit & fictitious representations of true values, as in a room and in the Jonestown mass murder.
Prismless academia = armageddon and its barren Earth inheritance upon the Jewish Bible are Jewish.
Religion absolves adults of their 4-corner metamorphosis. Educators teach erroneous Mathematics. 3-Dimensional math as in Family Life Prism. Only a false god or scientist, for I have created 4 simultaneous seasons simultaneously as it revolves around the Sun, thus creating 4 simultaneous years as in seasons and therefore no life.
 'Takes village to raise child'.
Educators are evil hirelings. Mother&baby are same age. No mother until baby born.
Your ancestory limit is 16 ...
your 16 great-grandparents. Divide past,present,future by 4. Rotate 4-corner scribes to create 4 squared circles. Education is but mind control, no whips or shackles required. Education 'plunders' Nature. Prequisite to comprehending Nature's Harmonic Time Prism, attack messenger. Gene Ray has created 4 simultaneous 24 hour days on Earth banned from debate by evil religious teachers, and can't compute a Time Prism. $500.00 for 1 MIT student explaining Time Prism.

@ApiStatus.Obsolete
.
Sometimes it's impossible to delete the current API, though it might not work correctly, there is a newer, or better, or more generic API.
This way, it's a weaker variant of @Deprecated
annotation.
The annotated API is not supposed to be used in the new code, but it's permitted to postpone the migration of the existing code,
therefore the usage is not considered a warning.


FLAWLESS A movie review by Joe Barlow (c) Copyright 1999
STARRING: Robert De Niro, Philip Seymour Hoffman DIRECTOR: Joel Schumacher WRITER: Joel Schumacher RATED: R RELEASED: 1999
You have to pity poor Joel Schumacher. Not only is he accused of single-handedly destroying the Batman franchise, but his last film, the bleak 8mm, was ridiculed by the majority of critics in America. I can visualize Schumacher's conversation with himself: "Hmm... I've just made several critical duds in a row. What am I doing wrong? Let's see. The Batman films and 8mm all share dark, creepy atmospheres, and that genre's obviously not working for me. Let's go the opposite route on the follow-up."
It's almost cute the way Schumacher rolls with the punches, and it's no surprise that in Flawless, a title that almost dares critics not to like the movie, the writer/director tries to play it safe... or at least as safe as any film which centers around a flamboyant transvestite can be considered to be. Everything here seems specifically constructed to avoid offensiveness or friction, and it's the movie's single biggest problem: everything has been so homogenized that what could have been a fascinating film comes out as a cinematic vanilla pudding, lacking any sort of flavor whatsoever.
Walter Koonz (Robert De Niro) is a cranky ex-cop and raging homophobe who finds himself partially paralyzed and unable to speak properly after suffering a stroke.  You'll no doubt be shocked to learn that as they grow closer, they form a deep bond. Just consider this the low-calorie version of As Good as it Gets.
Flawless desperately wants to be The Odd Couple, and there are moments in which it comes close, drawing us into the lives of the characters as they come to terms with each other and their differences. Both De Niro and Hoffman are engaging actors, with Hoffman's bubbling screen persona serving as a brilliant counterpoint to Hoffman's gruff demeanor. They each have a firm handle on two very challenging characters (De Niro actually wore weights in his clothes to help him prepare for his role as a stroke victim), and they work well together.
But sadly, the performances are all Flawless has going for it. The few sparks of fire De Niro and Hoffman are able to inject into the story are quickly extinguished by Schumacher's adherence to the lowest common denominator, such as the laughable finale, which is so deeply mired in cliches that it's hard to resist the temptation to hurl popcorn at the screen. Nor is the drama helped by the unimaginative shooting methods employed by Schumacher. We may as well be watching a TV sitcom--or a play.
I'll give Schumacher an 'A' for effort: with Flawless he's demonstrated a willingness to deviate from his previous work, and he's created a film with the potential for power and drama. Unfortunately, the director does not yet appear to have either the confidence or ability to helm a project which requires such depth; hence, we're treated to countless gay stereotypes and unimaginative plot twists (Stolen drug money? Yawn). Oh well. It was a nice try, Joel, and I mean that. Maybe next time.
RATING: ** out of a possible ****
