Books I read this year
https://www.gatesnotes.com/About-Bill-Gates/Best-Books-2017
I haven't really studied algorithmic information theory, but I'd assume that Kolmogorov complexity isn't defined for uncomputable/undefinable numbers. Or maybe it's defined as "infinite," but either way, my guess is that such numbers are simply ignored. (Interestingly, the function which takes a computable number and outputs its Kolmogorov complexity is itself uncomputable!)
OT: Sorry, that made me laugh...I can't even imagine how that would even work in New York...you'd be waiting forever to get a ride; the Redditor mentions a previous name analysis of drivers (TLC releases names/licenses of taxi drivers as another dataset) indicating that maybe half of all NYC taxi drivers are Muslim.

After living in New York, I have a Pollyannish belief that if you were inclined to be unconsciously racist...you'd give up that inclination in day-to-day life...or else, how could you cope with the sensory/panic overload? Everyday you're exposed to hundreds, sometimes thousands of people of every ethnicity and religion, just being normal.
VICE claims this was a "DJI Spreading Wings s900" drone [1]. There is a nice little demo video on youtube [2], but it is hard not to mentally replace "camera gear" with "6.5 pounds of meth", when watching it after reading the news story. Looks like it is about $3,800 USD rigged up [3]. The specs say it can only fly for 18 minutes [4], so they had to have been pretty close by! As battery tech, software auto pilots, and availability improves, this is likely going to become a much larger issue.

The value of a person is not equal to their wage. That is exactly my point! All people, in my belief, have AT LEAST the right to earn enough money to live off of without government assistance if they work 40 hours a week. They should have a safe place to live, clothes, enough quality food to eat, and enough to afford their other basic living expenses. It would be tight. But I'm not advocating everyone should have 10s of thousands in disposable income, just that they shouldn't need any government assistance to get by. That is simply valuing them as a person. That means stop exploiting people. There is a difference between free market and exploitation. And guess what... the exploited are tired, very tired... and that is why minimum wage reform is becoming an issue... because the problem is REAL. Try living it sometime... helps add perspective.
I'd say it's got more to do with Ubuntu initially being Gnome-based than anything else.

Also, KDE (until very recently) wasn't helped by it's unusually hideous default theme and icon set.
wow. A hammy over the top dystopian style website on a technology rights topic that ISN'T made by the EFF!

Amazing!
Copter might be easier to land in a discreet location. Does a fixed-wing require strip to land? You could always just crash it and eat the cost of the drone.
which does admittedly grow exponentially the more repos you require

Just to clarify, GH's pricing doesn't actually grow exponentially. The per repo price gets lower the more you pay for:

5 private repos: $7

10 private repos: $12

20 private repos: $22

50 private repos: $50
There has been some recent changes to the license of wpscan, which is not obvious from reading the article.

Initially, wpscan was licensed purely under gplv3.

On 26 Sep 2014, the 2.5 release of wpscan changed the license to a self-described dual-license scheme where noncommercial could still use GPLv3, and commercial use had to use a commercial license. GPLv3 permits you to remove any addition constraints, so license text and projects intent clearly conflicts.

Yesterday the license was changed again to a newly created license called WPScan Public Source License. It is similar to Creative Commons Non-Commercial which is commonly defined as non-free, non-open-source license. It is incompatible with all version of GPL.
A shared google doc would be just as effective.
There have been conversations in my job where I refer to a 40GB file as "big" and someone else will go "that's nothing." Well, obviously there are bigger files somewhere, but that doesn't mean 40GB is nothing.

"Big" is always a relative term. Anything is big in the right perspective, so to say that something "isn't big" is almost always wrong. We should really try to find a term with a more absolute meaning.
As someone that knows some HTML, I hate having to learn another markdown for ever wiki site that I end up using. (Saying that WYSWIG editors seem to be more common than a few years ago for this task).
Yes, always play dual-class, so to say. For every pair of important fields X and Y, there are numerous people who can do X very well but can't do any Y, and vice versa. If you do both X and Y well enough, you are at a huge advantage.

Trivially, being good at frontend coding and at UX design (cognitive aspects, etc) helps. Being good at designing software and being good at talking the language of your business is super helpful, this what's required at the director / VP Eng level.

And yes, do take the math. After just 2 years of university math (as an embedded systems major, I had to later study myself to grab some missing algebra, some category theory, etc, to grasp SICP on one hand, and Haskell on another. This helped me become seriously better at writing and understanding code in industrial languages.
I perfectly agree with this. Frankly, who knows if the page is a phishing page targeted to HN users?

I never want to blindly sign up for anything when there is absolutely no information/demo in the first page.
You're thinking of daily commuting. But some people do long drives where you don't want to stop for 24 hours to charge the car to continue. Even 2 hours is not nice.
How about getting the browser and OS makers together to use an alternate DNS system?

It only needs Google, Mozilla, Apple and Microsoft to agree and ICANN can be made irrelevant overnight.
That's right, the pace of work is constantly accelerated by competition, you feel you can never quit, and you aren't paid an amount that for your location _isn't biologically sufficient_. We need unions, we need an end to competition, and we need to take control of the companies ourselves and overthrow the bosses.
What will be the impact?
I don't know that there is respect for the cow; but the cow is an asset that you've paid for. You don't want to waste the cow, because it cost you money either to buy or raise. The wild penguins cost you nothing, so wasting them has no impact on you. Wild Bison were not used responsibly either.
Wait, is this why Trump wanted to buy it off them?
Oh well. No such thing as free lunch after all. Yet again, a user-funded nonprofit would be the way to go, but users want free stuff. Minority would donate, but good luck having a steady cash flow and being able to pay for the infrastructure and your wages.
Absolutely my experience as well (not medical, but aviation/simulation). What's worse is when the same developers and managers pat themselves on the back for writing new unit tests to cover the discovered bugs.
Come on. The article you linked just shows that if the FBI can unlock an iPhone, they can read Signal messages. This is not exactly a surprising revelation.
I had a data science position with a large non-tech company. It did B2B sales, and had a giant office for us, done up in brushed nickel and Edison light bulbs. The rest of the company was designed in standard cheap-cubicle format, but they took visitors (i.e. sales targets) through to see the data science team, so we got the fancy layout. After working there a few months, I realized that I was also there as part of the decoration. My work didn't matter (it took them 4 months to stand up a server for a project I was working on) and my boss didn't understand what I did. Very cush. Could have gotten away with a few hours a week of real work, though I still had to physically be there most of the time. I left for more money, plus ultimately having to surreptitiously waste 35 hours a week turns out to be quite draining.
If I’m going to go and make less money as a deliberate life choice, it’ll either be something overtly charitable or it’ll be doing something fun, like in the arts. It won’t be boring work for someone else to profit off of.
I think that

this.getSize(); // bogus call to keep `this` around

could be optimized away since the value is never used.
Probably there is no proof therefore it is a conspiracy theory.

However - pitting women against enemies - either to seduce them or to just get them out of the way (via extortion) has happened before.

There is something missing in Woz' argumentation: "He likens Android’s success to that of Microsoft’s Windows operating system, along with the flaws and challenges of that model."

Problem is: there has for a long time been such an OS on the market: Windows Mobile. It didn't become dominant over time, on the contrary, it is currently in survival mode.

Android is more like Linux. Linux didn't become dominant on the Desktop, but Android (i.e. Linux) will fare better on smartphones because smartphones don't rely on an huge existing base of applications and IT-support departments.

If Woz' argument was true: Why did RIM (and in Europe, Nokia) and other vertical integrators get the lions share[1] of the smartphone market when the "winner" strategy was already present in the market? They did because the rules are different for the smartphone market than the desktop PC market.

I think the reason for this is our innate hatred for signing up for things(work). Putting this right in front of you may make it easier and quicker to get to the function, but: "uhg another form"
We should support companies that act morally, and punish others by not buying their products and criticizing them.

But expecting them to act morally out of their own volition seems foolish to me. Note also that I explicitly said publicly traded companies. Large ones always have a diverse ownership structure with institutional investors. A CEO that hurts profits by acting in the public interest will probably be replaced pretty soon, forced to fall in line, or have to otherwise do enough to offset.

The only way to motivate them is external pressure or benefits.

Eg Apple has probably decided to focus on user privacy to provide a contrast with Google and the Android ecosystem and maintain a good relationship with customers, not because privacy is "good".

The situation is somewhat different with private companies, where there are few owners that can actually have an impact.
Are you forgetting search? I think most people download what's hot and the rest are searching for a given term.

> I don’t think it should discriminate based on the content being freely available or not.

I feel at least a little weird about giving crawlers a carte blanche to paid content. Creating relevant pages, showing them to the crawler to get ranked higher, and then not showing them to the user but requiring something in return first... I don't know.

I do see your point: it would be good to have everything indexed, even paid content or content available only in certain regions or whatever, just so you know what your options are if you're willing to pay for it. But then I think there should be a button to hide those results (either opt-in or opt-out, to show paid content).

As it is, it just weirds me out to show the crawler different content than you show the user and not be seen as fraudulent and get delisted altogether.
IDK but do a search with https://www.gmbmg.com/ and check the URL it uses. It may be a useful trick.
Lots of yacht spotting sites and other OSINT sources you could use to track a vessel that doesn’t broadcast its location.
LAX international terminal tip: there’s a “secret” security check entrance on the baggage claim level meant for people who are connecting (and therefore needing to pick up bags) but they will let anyone use it. The regular security line can be huge and no TSA pre-check for most int’l flights.
Have you ever tried to change enterprise software mid-flight?
A big chunk of the govt has been moving everything to Drupal for the last 5 years.
Does that case have to be made? Are there people who listen to Glass' music in and of itself, or in a concert-hall setting? The author claims that Glass' music has been successful for people to get high to and as background for films and stage performances, but not adopted for the concert hall, and the explanations are in line with this.
This reminds me of when my friend's fairly high-end laptop was stolen from a party at his house. This was back in my wardriving days, so we went out several times looking for the MAC address of the wifi card. We didn't end up finding it though, and his parents' homeowners insurance replaced it.

If you have the MAC address and think it is still in the local area, you can definitely use a tool like kismet to look for it.
Yeah, I'm surprised it's that low, too. My entire family dropped land lines when cellphones became cheaper. That's including my parents, sisters, etc. None our homes have land lines. We do have Skype, though. It's just cheaper for international calling. (Especially if the other person has Skype, of course.)
It's worth noting that Marc Andreessen called this "the single best essay on modern venture capital" he's ever read.

You don't even have to go into depth to find flaws in Yosemite like this one: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/152038/prevent-redr...

The flickering menubar icons drive me insane. It's proof that Apple has is either unwilling or unable to commit enough resources to OSX to ensure that its quality is consistent with what users have come to expect.

I wonder if this piece is enough for Apple to become the next target of boycotts from religious groups. There's many places of worship whom hold different views and are Apple customers.

Personally, I'm on Cook's side. Just pointing out the line that potentially may have been drawn.
Flagged as obvious linkbait.
They would change the magazine design every few years and it would only fire Apple ammunition.
As much as we love to hate targeted advertising here on HN, it's a godsend to small businesses. And, dare I say...some people like it? Step outside the techie bubble and I have friends who actually curate their Facebook interests to make the adverts more relevant to them (yes, they know it's making them easier to sell to and invading their privacy and no, they don't care!). I'm buying my girlfriend a £100 wool jumper for her birthday because she saw an advert on Facebook, from a company I've never heard of.

Targeted advertising (especially on social media) really levels the playing-field, as smaller businesses can target niche audiences. It's sad that Big Tech have ended up the de-facto middleman between all advertisers and all communities, but that's a separate question. If you want to make it easier for competing advertising agencies to carve out parts of the market the worst thing you can do is add onerous complex regulation.
I agree. The job is difficult enough without this ambiguous notion that you're supposed to be doing 10x the work or spend all of your free time shlepping code in order to be considered "good."

Like "rock star" or "ninja," this concept needs to die.
No, actually, they don't. Typically the barrels are machined using electricity and the pressure-sensitive parts are hardened steel. Many firearms are made out of plastic anyway (Glocks, to name one you might be familiar with).

It's not hard to build a reliable firearm with fairly little skill. In the United States, it's not even illegal to do so.
No, but it will preserve them online for later filtering/post processing.
So who do you trust on these matters?
Edited to say "animal products" rather than meat.
I don think it is really the case but it could be Stonehenge is the result of the first FOMO. Either build or burn on the stones.
I don't think that totally stacks up though. A decline in injuries at the time of the introduction of the laws is natural - there was a lot of campaigning and awareness at the time.

And ultimately a net decrease in head injuries doesn't mean that much when there are many other injuries with cycling generally being more dangerous.

I'm just a single data point but I stopped cycling in nz after they introduced the fines for being caught without a helmet. I've cycled daily in London for years now an it's a much safer place to cycle. My feeling is that's generally due to the awareness from having a lot of cyclists on the road. Whatever nz are trying to do with their foisting of rules upon people, it's not working.
You can't USD Binance. That's my point.
Don't start selling your sperm on a FB group without a good lawyer -- you may accidentally make yourself a legal guardian and be required to pay child support.

Don't start buying sperm without a good lawyer either. In some states, the sperm donor may legally request custody or visitation rights.

Family law is different in each state, making this a thorny issue. For example, Arizona's law states that a surrogate mother is the presumed mother of any baby she births. And if she's married to a man, her husband is the father. Making a contract that says otherwise in Arizona is not legally recognized. So... very few people choose surrogates in Arizona.
Are you familiar with the concept of an idiom?
This is a false dichotomy. It isn't Telegram vs WhatsApp. Even if it was, the answer, in light of this new discovery, would be neither.

At this point, Matrix, Threema, and Signal are some of the more popular cross-platform solutions left to ponder about. Telegram nor WhatsApp are answers to any privacy question anyone may have.
