I don't know why TechCrunch is going so Glasgow over Google's ass for Gmail. It works perfectly fine for me and no one I know has complained either.

It's the TC who should rather work on TechCrunch Lite.
Thinking too much about what others think is the best "creativity killer".

I prefer to be the kid I am (I am 19) and free in thoughts - careless. That's what keeps my creativity up.

Make your question more specific?
If this happened to me, there is NO WAY I would let my credit card company off. Also, I have disputed something in the past and I remember signing paperwork instead of just verbal acceptance/rejection of the charges. I wonder why that didn't happen here.
Persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty. I don't think that presumption applies to non-persons. So, if the government is going directly after some thing used to commit an offense, as opposed to going after the people who used that thing, the standards might be different.

And yes, the government can go after things. This leads to some amusing court cases, typical dealing with smuggling attempts, where you'll have cases with amusing names like "United States vs. 34 Cases of Wine" or "United States vs. $150,252.32".
Viaweb, obviously.

Wikipedia says amazon.com was founded both in 1994 and 1995.

Or maybe Windows 95?
As books about programming go, it's pretty accessible to non-programmers. There's plenty of content about motivation, rewards, the relation between technology and culture, etc. It isn't just an avalanche of technical minutiae.

I found the part about L. Peter Deutsch (mostly) giving up programming for music particularly interesting.
Anyone has a solution for Live backups?

Say something that migrates the machine and initiate a shutdown as soon as it hits the other backup server?
Lots of network infrastructure in Provo - like bringing gold to a golden city.
The proper name is "netloc".
The price for registering data in government databases that seems innocent at first has been well known since world-war II and was the reason why we had the attack on the Amsterdam registry:

http://www.jhm.nl/culture-and-history/amsterdam/plaque-comme...

Unfortunately by then it was too late and that little box 'religion' on the census forms had done its damage. 10's of thousands of people dead for simply being honest about something the government might have had some good reason for asking but no necessity.

It's simply a well documented fact not associated with any 'isms' at this point that you should only store that which you need to store because you can't predict future use or access. That civil libertarians or capital-L libertarians agree with this is nice but it is about as relevant as the fact that they need to eat and breathe as well.

It'd be nice if we could simply learn history's lessons but it appears we need to re-live the past over and over again without making much headway. I can see why law-enforcement get all gooey when they realize that they can store all movement of all vehicles pretty much indefinitely and such sentiments ought to be stamped ruthlessly into the ground whenever they pop up, the temptation is just too large to leave oversight to the services that are in a position to implement such data banks.
Have you watched the news lately? Millions of people fail to satisfy their needs every day.
Docker multiarch support isn't finished yet, and getting all the world's Dockerfiles rebuilt on SmartOS is a big task.

There are also different philosophies about whether container images should be distributed as source (Dockerfiles) or as binaries. It looks like Joyent decided to run Linux/x86-64 binaries to be on the safe side.
The thing is, nothing you can discover in physics can refute the multiverse hypothesis. It is not falsifiable in that way.

Even if you find that you're in a very special universe, you need an explanation of why it is that way. The multiverse hypothesis helps, by giving a plausible answer which avoids belief in gods.
Yes. I bet it would take less effort to get a random ruby program running on those machines than a random C program.
I realize the bad example wasn't actually doing anything and the tree example does, but the tree looks like it takes a great deal more effort to actually use.

I have a better idea: Erlang already handles green threads extremely well, how about providing a "test mode" switch in the VM. When a branch is encountered in execution the VM spawns new threads as needed and just takes them all. If spawning a new thread would put us over some thread count threshold then just put it on some queue for when there is space for a new thread. Then you can just put pre and post conditions on all your functions and you'll find out if any possible branch traversal causes one of these conditions to fail.
what a bunch of fucking crap. Plagiarism is theft, pure and simple. You know when you're doing it, and it means you suck.

I am getting really sick of the moral relativism building up around cheating and grades. It's a fucking nightmare. Schools should just flunk out the 40% or 50% who do this shit for a couple years, and people will get straight.

It completely devalues the work of people who actually do the work. Welcome to the mediocratization of civilization.
It was a joke. The next commenter explained...
Your analogy works. Most hackers certainly don't belong in business school...but many hackers could benefit from an MBA's experience/education once their product has traction, users, whatever. An MBA as the first hire probably doesn't make sense. But an MBA to optimize sales/marketing/support might make a lot of sense...

People tend to forget that top tier MBA grads are (usually) incredibly bright and productive professionals.
We are based in a far off land, with most of our customers in the US. I just include in my support emails: "If you'd rather discuss anything on the phone, just send me your phone number and timezone and I'll be in touch at a time that works for you". It works well - I normally initiate a few phone calls each day using SkypeOut. We are looking at a SkypeIn number with voicemail to allow customers to make inward calls, but I am pretty happy with the current scenario.
Only for the App Store; for music, movies, web apps, etc., it is only perception. That's the point.

That's partially what google sidewiki is about. A shame it hasn't really taken off yet.
To be quite honest, if Apple added such an option to install your own apps I would shut up. Comparing someone who is clearly clueless and thinks that the iPad can't read PDFs to programmers and developers who actually make apps is kind of unfair, and to say they never pay attention to the facts and would just ignore the change anyway is silly.

I imagine most startups that grow as fast as Facebook don't have a perfectly engineered architecture, simply because they're desperately optimizing their products for time-to-market. When the "Facebook has security and privacy issues, and might be evil" meme gets around, people start looking for more weaknesses and quickly find them.

This sounds like by far the most likely explanation for most of the Facebook problems. The Facebook non-system has become sufficiently internally complicated that no one person understands it anymore, which makes it easy to overlook security weaknesses. The systematic attempts to "share" information on the part of Facebook's leadership have been quite annoying, and have made me MUCH more circumspect in my Facebook behavior, but all the rest of this is just sheer inadvertence.
Thanks. This was a very worthwhile read, both in terms of demonstrating that the concept of 'public service' still has its champions and as an example of how to thoughtfully express disagreement.
Thanks for sharing your story. I work as a software engineer and have struggled with mild RSI for many years. I cannot use a flat keyboard or touchpad like you have in your video. What works for me:

- Goldtouch GTU-0088 V2 Keyboard.

- Evoluent VerticalMouse 4, raised up on a book to be the same height as the keyboard.

- Single monitor at proper height.

- Hourly breaks to walk around.

- Motorized sit/stand desk, alternating after every break.

- Mindfulness meditation practice, which helps me be more sensitive to my body.

- Sitting up straight more often.

Have you tried any of these? How did they work out for you? What worked better for you?
It’s an expensive deal to keep a home warm, cool, and power rightly all the time. And it is a tedious job for the HVAC equipment providers to provide the right-sized HVAC solution without accurate heat or cooling load calculation. To address the challenges of the HVAC service providers, today, Energy Design Systems (EDS), a pioneered HVAC engineering solutions provider, has introduced EDS – a powerful HVAC software.
On 2) there's Matsim and AequilibraE off the top of my head.
What’s wrong with ‘wall’ or ‘irssi’! ;)
He's obviously talking about CHAZ.

I've seem this kind of reaction coming from my friends and colleagues here in US, because they are still using SMS (or Apple's Messages when they have an iPhone) for messaging. And there is rarely a thing like "I'll text that store to place an order for delivery" or many of the other uses WhatsApp get in other countries.

I wouldn't say this is on purpose but they are unaware of how WhatsApp is used everywhere else.
Right, so how does that work? What is the mechanism of being beholden that allows the ACA to pass with an expansion of Medicaid? What is the mechanism that allows for the expansion in most states but not all? Who pulled these specific strings in these specific places in those specific instances?

I just want and concrete example.
On the same token, this guy talks about Islamic radicalization. And I can only see parallels with white radicalization in the US: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlbirlSA-dc
My understanding is the LOS very much uses the vanilla AOSP keyboard, which is basic but FOSS so about the same privacy-wise as this or ASK.
Y does this too isn't really an interesting argument that X doing it is reasonable, I don't think (and my response to your initial question is entirely happy to lump Gradle in with SBT on its "understand-ability" demerits).
The history of leaded gasoline and how it was believed to be incredibly safe for decades is easily my favorite example of buying credibility as a corporation (it's a long story, but I bet this will be the most interesting thing you read this week).

Not yet! With the feedbacks I just received, I want to improve the API before posting on PH.
Meaning I can post a sign "No Trump Voters Allowed" on my restaurant?
No it's there, no worries, but so are many others - will review it asap :)
> One might say that if a law is so misunderstood by so many and has an outcome that so many would disagree with then it should be replaced based on that fact alone, as what is more dangerous to a society than laws which rule over them that are misunderstood to such a great degree (this might be said of many other laws too).

I agree that laws need to be coherent to the general public to work, but the problem here is that what people misunderstand is the pre-230 conditions that led to its creation, which we would return to if it were repealed and not replaced with something else. It’s a Chesterton’s fence.
You complain of one thing in your first paragraph and proceed to do the exact same thing in your subsequent paragraphs :) .

The incentive for big corporations is to make money, and they create pockets of bubble which align with user's existing political view.
This has created the polarised society we see today.

If big corporations were trying to create a society with unified political view, as conspiracy theorist on right and left are complaining about, looking at the current state of political landscape in US, I would do they have utterly failed.
> Rotating keys for deniability.

That's only needed if you sign with those keys. DKIM for instance. If your protocol is based on key exchanges (as Signal is), you don't really need to rotate anything, because recipients can always fake messages coming to them. (Group discussions however may be another matter.)

That said, there are other reasons to rotate keys, typically to diminish the probability and the impact of leaks.
Thank you, will look at them asap!

I'm not completely sold on the Mona Lisa comparison. Making an exact copy is tough. Sure, you can take a picture, you can even make a painted version that's pretty close. But only one was actually hand-painted by Leonardo da Vinci.

But in the case of the digital art, you can have an exact copy. Indistinguishable from the original in all ways. Sure, the NFT says someone has to own the 'real' original, but what extra value does that have over a literal copy?
Im confused. Most US states if not all require emissions testing at each inspection. Break lights or engine lights are automatic fails. Suffucient tire tred, working wipers etc.
> does not imply that the ultimate legislative outcome will be censorship. Greenwald is treating his speculations

I think Greenwald is saying that these politicians are trying to intimidate and threaten the companies into doing the censorship. He cites an FCC commissioner, who says just that: "The greatest threat to free speech in America today is not any law passed by the government ... The threat comes in the form of legislating by letterhead. Politicians have realized that they can silence the speech of those with different political viewpoints by public bullying. ... They are singling out selected newsrooms for their coverage of political events and sending a clear message that these media outlets will pay a price if they do not align their viewpoints with Democrat orthodoxy. That is a chilling transgression of free speech and journalistic freedom."

> the one-note political narrative about the Democratic Party that has been his constant refrain for years

He may be one-note, but is he wrong?
It looks promising. I was going to create an account to try it but then I stopped. Their privacy policy states I would have to send an email to delete my account data. Why do people make it harder to remove an account when the sign up process so easy?
I think most people might be shocked that Government uses nearly a whopping 40% of GDP, at least in the US.
That's not how electronics work.

Do you think the copper wiring in your house also wears out?
Perhaps parent meant useful with the caveat that "it also wont fuck up the climate, and assist in huge destruction and killing millions in the process of making me rich".

Which is so selfish of him. Why should the safety of billions matter over me becoming rich? /s
I use containers to maintain multiple logins for the same site. It's handy to log in to the analytics + hosting account etc all in one container.
Can easily be changed to rapidfuzz, which is based on the older 2011 MIT fuzzywuzzy before it was forced to GPL after incorporating python-levenstein. Also a lot faster.

Spoiler: no. 1265 ms vs 439 ms on their OpenCV benchmark.

(Then they play some what-if games by underlocking the i3 in imaginative ways and applying SIMD opts to only the ARM side)
I hope Rust can eventually reach compile speeds of most module based languages.

Every time I update my netbook with a new Rust release it takes a few hours, it almost feels like I am compiling KDE or something.
What struck me reading this passage is that the NSA defines "collect" as manually searching for materials that have already been stored in a massive database.

If we read the report in this light, it suggests that either the FISA court has explicitly ruled that such mass storage is illegal and the NSA is thus engaged in willful violation of its judicial oversight, OR "collect" really means "search" and this is evidence of mass deceit of Congress and the American people by James Clapper and other NSA officials who have testified to the contrary before Congress.
So code fully optimized for ARM/Cortex-A15 is almost as fast as only partially optimized code on a 1.2 GHz i3? Well, good to know I guess.
> Google's innovation was noticing the importance of the link structure of the internet - not inventing the graph theory underlying EC.

Actually, I'd say that Google's innovation was applying the eigenvector centrality computation to the Web graph, not discovering any particularly meaningful property (the "random surfer") of the Web graph.

I'd call it an extremely skillful application of an old algorithm to a new problem domain.
That was not a mistake. Things like these need features that need to be developed and budgets that need to be approved. Somebody did that. But that's for another discussion.
Tactics you mean. Tactics change frequently, to align projections with actual results and market changes.

Strategy doesn't change as often, and has a longer lifespan. If your strategy needs reviewing weekly you probably don't want to disclose it.
I'm really curious how on Earth they tracked all these down. Imagine how many obscure papers were published they didn't look through that had the same idea.

>One important question is: what is the value of each sector when they are so tightly integrated? Leontief’s answer was to develop an iterative method of valuing each sector based on the importance of the sectors that supply it.

That's actually pretty interesting. But I think in economics a circular graph doesn't really make sense, does it? It's more two ways with one person trading with another person (with any number of intermediate nodes.)
Don't dream it - be it.

I'm willing to bet anything that just like Sublime was FOSS cloned to Lime (https://github.com/limetext/lime), this as well will be cloned as FOSS, if it is any good, that is.

Subatom seems like a great project title :)
I've been there with SQLAlchemy in late 2006, and I vowed never to return.

Let me state this, SQLAlchemys pool/engine/SQL-Api is great, and it's got nothing whatsoever todo with ORM.

But SQLAlchemy does contain an ORM, and it does become unmaintainable just like every other ORM. It roughly goes like this:

1) You use the ORM

2) Things get slow

3) You write a bit of custom mappers

4) Soon all your logic can't be operated without custom mappers

5) Congratulations, you've now written all the handwired code you would have written without an ORM, plus all the ORM code on top, it's now unmaintainable, full of bugs and oversights AND slow.

And that about sums up everybodies experience with ORMs unless they do trivially small things. It's at this junction people begin thinking about solving this ORM problem. And they learn it's bloody hard.

Obligatory XKCD reference: There are N ORMs on the market, they all suck. Let's solve all these problem and do a new ORM to rule them all. There are now N+1 ORMs that all suck on the market.
" Obviously, all of that is irrelevant to the guy who just lost his life savings, wondering where he can find a good bridge."

Don't be that guy. Understand that 'life savings' don't belong in anything as speculative as BitCoin or Tech stocks.
It doesn't work because it breaks the concept of an addressable grid of cursor positions for individual fixed fonts. How do you mix bitmaps in cleanly?

Plan 9 did away with that dichotomy by making it graphical first called /dev/draw. A console device, /dev/cons, handles textual i/o and renders it to the /dev/draw device. You can bypass that and open /dev/draw and render your own text using the same library /dev/cons uses. If one needs a unix compatible virtual terminal with addressable cursor and proper copy/paste then the vt program is used. vt then opens /dev/cons and interprets shell escape sequences written by the program and pokes at the /dev/cons buffer. So the rc shell in plan 9 doesn't do escapes or colors or anything. It just reads and interprets commands from stdin and writes its output to stdout in the most simplistic manner possible. pretty much a serial console that keeps scrolling. There is no cursor.
Fuck no. Why? :(

Expect the entire mod community which made the game a success to crumble down in a few months, when they start lawyering around.

From the article:

> As a reminder, our most recent policy updates give more clarity to how developer mode is intended to be used, such as helping developers build their apps or for enthusiasts to explore new concepts. It is not intended for engaging in piracy or illicit modding, including mods that infringe on third-party IP rights or contain malicious code.
If somebody pays for something, they want to see the results. If the effects are local, you see with your eyes and you hear things second hand; a kind of soft feedback. If the effects are far away, you probably want to see a hard number, because you don't get the same kind of soft feedback.

Is the number (teacher score) useful? Maybe not. But you can't simply take away a number, resulting in no feedback. You have to either come up with a new number that is useful, or localize it enough that people can see the results. Otherwise people won't want to pay.

That's why these weird bureaucratic numbers usually come from state or federal requirements. People see the big pile of money going somewhere and they want "accountability" because they can't see the results for themselves.

Let's stop shuffling around so much money, laundering it through state and federal agencies. The money, if it comes back, always comes with strings attached. This goes for schools, highway funds, and many other things.
Cool, fast update!
Perhaps I am missing the point of this article. The RNN approach seems to get similar performance, but uses more parameters and misses the parallelization benefits that Transformers have and recurrent networks do not.

What is the benefit of the RNN here?
"only" 500 BILLION. How is that small change
You might find the extreme gun fanatics this way, but for every one of those there are dozens that just have a regular weapon in the closet for emergencies and don't advertise it whatsoever. (At least in some jurisdictions, may vary based on your location)
Right, I understand. My point is that iPod Nano just doesn't seem to work well as a watch. If Apple were to design a watch, I don't think it would require people to push a button to view the time.
For sure the soviets did some neat science work but I think a motorized helicopters flying on Mars is pretty darn cool too compared to a ballon floating in a dense atmosphere it even feels like an advancement
> that is booted at most once a week

I suspect that's often enough to easily stay under that threshold. For me it's at most every 3ish months that i boot windows for one particular game that releases updates in 3 month cycles. Sometimes I skip one or two and then it's 6 or 9 month between boots.

And everytime it just reboots me, no prompt, nothing, just in the middle of the game, good-bye.
Aren't keybords like $5-15. Rather have full/real kb. That +rasberry + cheap small monitor/tv should be sub $100.
