I’m sure they’ll clarify this, but wouldn’t that include SunPass toll-by-plate facilities?

Has there been any reporting into whether Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise has adequate data access controls around SunPass? They have ALPRs to operate the toll-by-plate system on bridges and toll roads across the state.

In my view, that’s one of the better reasons to have ALPRs at all, but you do need strict controls to prevent misuse.

This is too funny, how could I not?

I first entered Canada with my spouse as a visitor, then got a work permit as a NAFTA intra-company transfer, then became a permanent resident – all without having to return stateside for immigration reasons.

I like the false equivalence between reducing air pollution and not doing hate crimes against Jewish people. I haven’t asked them all individually, but I’m pretty sure my Jewish friends all enjoy breathing clean air.

I’m one of those many who owe her a debt of gratitude. May her memory be a blessing.

I found this terminology confusing for many years, hope this clarification is helpful:

- “Coaxial” refers to the design of the physical cable (Wikipedia has a better explanation than I can offer)

- CATV refers to “Community Antenna Television”, the first cable systems in the USA, which fed the signal from a shared “community antenna” to homes in areas with poor broadcast reception.

- “Cable” is the generic term for pay-TV and ISP services over coaxial cable

Another positive review for Central Computers. I was sad to see their Pleasanton store close, presumably due to rising rents, but the Sunnyvale store just reopened in a new location, so hopefully they’ll be with us for years to come.

It would be nice to see them enter (or re-enter) the Northern California market now that Fry’s has imploded. It seems like they have the niche figured out, and apart from Central Computers’ handful of good-but-small locations, they’d have the market to themselves.

I'm glad to have kept reading to the author's conclusion:

> As a hybrid approach, you could produce a large number of inferred sentiments for words, and have a human annotator patiently look through them, making a list of exceptions whose sentiment should be set to 0. The downside of this is that it’s extra work; the upside is that you take the time to actually see what your data is doing. And that’s something that I think should happen more often in machine learning anyway.

Couldn't agree more. Annotating ML data for quality control seems essential both for making it work, and building human trust.

Well, Chelsea Manning just got out of prison for leaking the collateral murder tape.

What exactly would a Mars colony need to dig tunnels for?
