They have the best approach to interviews out of all the YC style companies.

There is a one-week intensive learning experience, a week long Startup Camp. At the end, they pick 5 teams to invest E50,000 for a 10% stake. One week will give them enough time to really get a sense for the team members. The rejected applicants still get the benefits of the one week program.

Ah yes. Lucy's infamous "in the next 30 years" moving goal post.

However, to many women who grew up in the US, there are huge differences between the two stones. One is a diamond, the other isn't. There's a cultural expectation here about diamonds that's pervasive, and women who say that diamonds don't matter and actually believe it are rare. My now wife was actually willing to go along with a no-diamond ring, but she was clearly bummed, so I ended up finding a diamond that never went through DeBeers hands (but still cost a lot due to their influence)
will be coming - the main thing is using svgify to transform svg into inline javascript. the interaction is done with the Backbone MV* approach: http://thinkingonthinking.com/fast-start-with-backbonejs/
I was not talking about overfitting. I've seen that paper.

The original paper asked if images that could fool DBN.a could fool DBN.b. The answer was: certainly not all the time. They used the exact same train set and architecture for DBN.a and DBN.b, just randomly varied initial weights. I think this is too favorable for a comparison with a voting ensemble made with nets with a different architecture, train set and tuning. Can they also find images that can fool DBN.a-z?

Also, to test if a net can learn to recognize these fooling images, they simply add them to the train sets. Those noisy images would be far simpler to detect: They have a much greater complexity than natural images. To detect the artsy images, a quick knearest-neighbors run should show that they do not look much like anything it has seen before, so it may be an adversarial image.
I agree in principal that it's silly to buy a diamond engagement ring. But I also feel like the large expense helps solidify your intent. Without the ring, proposals would lose some of their weight. The ring helps keep more proposals serious, which benefits everyone involved.
And you have groups of people (i.e., those in the same industry) generally adopting similar ideologies - so you have say, Silicon Valley people tending towards a certain viewpoint.

Which doesn't mean it's part of a propaganda machine, it just is.
Never asked for my ID. I did have to sign my ticket once, which is perhaps the most theatrical of all security theater.

I have flown with expired ID. They tell me it's expired, I say sorry I was busy, then they say ok. They don't seem to make a big deal of it if you don't.
I thought the (current) macOS userland was from NetBSD, not FreeBSD?
I think that this is communicated clearly enough. People will do what they want to do. For example, you can't get clearer than printing pictures of cigarettes-affected lungs with warnings on cigarette packs. Yet certain people keep smoking.
The comment you're replying to is "cherry-picking" the current-gen AMD processor which offers the best value for most users. You're cherry-picking an Intel processor which almost no-one has any reason to buy over other Intel options (the i9-11900K is much more expensive than the 11700K or 10700k for little extra performance; AMD had a few chips like this last gen, and they actually downplayed how much of a price increase this gen was by only comparing to those poor-value chips). One of these comparisons is a lot more useful than the other.
If I can't get a Signal server running myself, or if I can't compile the Signal client and install it on my phone, what's the point of being open source?

They could release a version of the server codebase that is not the production one, and who knows? They could put on the Google Play Store/Apple App Store a version of the client compiled from different sources (and mobile builds are not reproducible), and who knows?

Also the main benefit of FOSS is the possibility to take the source code, modify it, implement new functionality, fork it, and so on. And Signal is against that. So to me it's like a proprietary software.

Telegram on the other hand it doesn't provide an open source server, but the clients are 100% open, you can compile a client from source, modify a client, make third party clients that implements the Telegram protocol with the official libraries. All of that it's useful not only for improving existing clients, but for automating stuff, there are libraries for basically every programming language to interact with Telegram. That to me means being open source, and what distinguish Telegram from all the other applications.
I don't run anything related to the protocol. The protocol governed by the MobileCoin Foundation, an independent board of directors. The foundation makes recommendations about how the network might behave, but ultimately it's up to the node operators to decide what code they run.
You absolutely don't need a formal certification to be a mechanic or welder.
Land of the free ftw.
Girl why waste your time on what other think while you could have told me how your would prolong a dogs life and when you think to migrate to the human market.
I read the article and did not find it a screed. It didn't really complain or anything. And it provided concrete action items that aren't "society hates you" but more "this is what this place expects; play to the expectations" which sounds smart.

Honestly, if anyone read the parent comment and concluded that this is one of those "Everyone hates me because I'm a woman" things (which do exist) then you've been misinformed.

Article is also useful to men, in my opinion, and not as "ally" or "social justice companion" or whatever but just for you to know how things are laid out in SV so that you too can play to the right expectations. First paragraph, for instance, is not a gender divide. Paragraph about Elizabeth Holmes is also a pointer that people pattern match a lot based on superficial characteristics and that it might help your success to be aware of and either mitigate or play to those characteristics. That's not gender-based either.

Emp.ly just launched in beta, feedback welcome
We are Emp.ly and just launched the beta of our new social recruiting service to share jobs, reward users & find great hires. We were also one of YC10 summer interview startups, but did not get selected. Would appreciate your feedback, comments & suggestions. If you’re currently hiring do give http://Emp.ly/ a go. Thanks in advance.

Emp.ly allows to post job ads to social networks easily, get stats on how they have been shared and/or retweeted and, best of all, add incentives for people to do the said sharing and retweeting. On our Facebook app you'll see all of the jobs published or shared by your friends. There are also widgets to list all your jobs on your blog or add sharing to existing job ads.

Functionality-wise we’re just warming up, there will be more exciting ways to incentivise sharing in the future than Amazon gift cards. We'll be working more also on candidate database and social ratings side.
Email behavior around the holidays…

Quake II on your Browser
http://code.google.com/p/quake2-gwt-port/wiki/BuildingAndRunning
The Quake II GWT port brings the 3d gaming experience of Quake II to the browser.

In the port, we use WebGL, the Canvas API, HTML 5 <audio> elements, the local storage API, and WebSockets to demonstrate the possibilities of pure web applications in modern browsers such as Safari and Chrome.

The port is based on the Jake2 project, compiled to Javascript using the Google Web Toolkit (GWT). Jake 2 is a Java port of the original Quake II source code, which was open sourced by id software.

To make the Jake 2 code work with GWT, we have

Created a new WebGL based renderer
Ported the network layer for multiplayer games from UDP to the WebSocket API
Made all resource loading calls asynchronous
Created a GWT implementation of Java nio buffers based on WebGL arrays (to be ported to ECMAScript Typed Arrays)
Implemented a simple file system emulation for saving games and preferences using the Web Storage API

Operation of TRIP
http://protogenist.wordpress.com/2012/08/29/operation-of-trip/
A TRIP Speaker(LS) establishes intra-domain and inter-domain “peering sessions” with
other TRIP Speakers to exchange routing information. The peering sessions are established
to exchange routes to telephony destinations. The peers update each other of new
routes learned by them. Each peer may in-turn learn about new routes from other peers
or through gateways registering telephony prefixes to them or through a static configuration
on the Location Servers. The peers also “withdraw” the routes they advertised to
the other peer on learning about the unavailability of the routes.TRIP peering sessions

Ask HN: Why most of the great websites are so simple design-wise?
I have noticed a huge number of posts concerning the aesthetics and the design of websites and web-apps.

At the same time when I think about most of the big websites of our times(or the websites that I spend most of my time during the day) I observe simplicity or even over-simplicity in the layout and the design:

- Google ( the main page cannot get simpler than that)

- Facebook (blue and white in boxes, I am exaggerating a bit here)

- Craigslist (no comment here!)

- Ebay

- Scientific Journals

- Hacker News

- Gmail ( not a wwebsite in the standard use but still minimal in the design, even when it offers themes I tend to choose the simplest one)

- Banks

The list is really long

What do you think about that?
Is there really a pattern(not a recipe) here?
