Tom in Oakland from February 13-or-14 to 23

by Thomas Levine

Hi, I left town in November after discovering how little stuff I needed. I've further reduced the stuff. http://thomaslevine.com/!/stuff-2014-02/ I've continued messing with tons of spreadsheets and pondering what cool things we can do with them. http://thomaslevine.com/open-data I'm going to Oakland on February 13 or 14, and I'm leaving on February 23. Could I crash with anyone for a couple of days at the beginning of that range? Actually, the whole range would be great too, but I have a … [View More]

Re: [sudo-discuss] "learn to code" events subject to full-WTF scale crackdown...any ideas?

by Romy Ilano

Well to play devil's advocate: creative, qusetioning students with computer science skills are valued by the industrialists nowadays. They actually seek out people who are a little rebellious. I read that some of the more innovative Chinese high schools are ditching standardized tests, encuraging more creative education, as they see it as their only ticket to becoming an economy on the high end of the value chain (more creative, more design-focused) What if the evil capitalists support a … [View More]

Re: [sudo-discuss] Sudo! Wanna co-host this surveillance event?

by mattsenate＠gmail.com

I'll sponsor it, but can't do much leg work. Perhaps BAPS should consider whether it is inclined to support events billed as fundraisers for worthy groups and individuals, but reserve asking for funds for all other events? This way a fundraiser is a rare and exceptional event, where it is clear the purpose and the flow of funds, versus the general expectation of completely free events hosted by BAPS. Does this produce an ethical and moral consistency with the motivation of the policy? Would … [View More]this make the policy more cleat to event collaborators: "either free or it's a full-blown fundraiser"? // Matt ----- Reply message ----- From: "David Keenan" <dkeenan44(a)gmail.com> To: "sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org" <sudo-discuss(a)lists.sudoroom.org> Subject: [sudo-discuss] Sudo! Wanna co-host this surveillance event? Date: Mon, Feb 3, 2014 00:07 Hi all.. I know there hasn't been much activity on this thread, but I was wondering if I could up the ante. Because sometimes, life's just like that. Would we (sudo) be willing to entirely host this event? Without BAPS.. I ask because the event's organizers would really like for there to be a simple donation box somewhere off to the side in the space, for folks to be able to donate directly at the event. This money would go to Oakland's Anti-Repression Committee and National Lawyer Guild's Legal Workers (the non-lawyer workforce part of the NLG). Within BAPS, there has emerged some reservation amongst organizers that having any other group (that is not BAPS) accept donations at an event BAPS hosts, might abrogate our statement of financial principles that there be no solicitation at the event. There's a confusion here that can't work itself out until our next general meeting at the earliest, which isn't for a while, and in the meantime.. the event needs to be promoted and have a home that is assured. So having Sudo solely host this event instead of BAPS, would solve a real headache for us. Are we down for this? I've already set the speakers and logistics up.. we just need a home, and hopefully, be able to put it on Sudo's facebook. alla best,David On Sun, Feb 2, 2014 at 3:05 PM, johanna faust <female.faust(a)gmail.com> wrote: i agree awesome idea. and second the mention. keenly watching this thread.

Bayesian inference is about how to use Bayes rule (and its generalizations) to make decisions and conduct optimal rational inquiry. We'll be looking at data sets of your choice.
