Data, Text, and Image Mining—Analysis of data stream in real time as well as cluster analysis and their applications to data, text, and image mining are important tools for anomaly detections in the global war against terrorism. New and unifying methodologies are needed in order to provide efficient search for patterns or meaning from the analysis of usually huge data sets that consist of multivariate measurements. Developments of mathematical theory for data, text, and image mining techniques are also highly desirable.

That's an interesting assessment. I've actually been generally impressed with it. Loads fast, seems to be pretty intelligent about caching profile images and the like, and is generally pretty responsive (on a Galaxy S5). It is pretty handsy with the permissions, though.
So, basically, if you sue Facebook on grounds of patent/copyright infringement for any reason, you don't get to use their software?

Argh, yet another simple economic principle conflated by politicization.

Entrepreneurship is directly correlated to easy access to capital and the legal environment surrounding both starting and maintaining a small business... this has been proven ad nauseam.

I can't directly critique the papers linked in the article (especially because one of them 404's) right now, but I'd be willing to be a lot of money they cherry pick policies that (either directly or indirectly) created greater access to capital or made it legally easier to start and run a small business. That, or they've found some correlation between the two and are trying to gloss over the actual economics of the deal and support their political opinions.

Strong "social good" (read: welfare), strong laissez faire, totalitarian, anarchic, doesn't matter your political leanings as long you increase capital and ease of legal machinations you will experience an increase in entrepreneurship (comparatively, of course).
>Or, a less high-tech solution: use the knife of your airline meal set to cut away the finger.

Last time I had an airline meal, even in first class, the knife "blade" was hard rubber mounted on a blunt metal handle. It could barely cut the food cleanly, never mind someone's finger.
This article needs to be read by any executive trying to push aggressive ship dates.

It's hard to explain why development is not always easy but I think this provides a pretty sobering example.
The API is open, but undocumented and unversioned (ie, liable to introduce breaking changes at any time).

I would never try to build a third-party product based on this service. That's what S3 is for.
"What is somewhat puzzling, as Rodriguez and Samman also note, is that these countries have not made nearly as much progress in democratization."

OCD is likely genetically coded. Religion likely evolved differently. Although some electrical activity, some forms of epilepsy can give one ‘religious rapture’.

I think you bring up good points. I think the only difference between Open Source and Proprietary software is that one you're allowed to plagiarize, and the other you're not. In the end, Open Source wins as it automatically gets way more exposure and users, as anyone can access, copy, modify and freely share it forever.
Most companies will pay relocation expenses if they hire you, and will pay for transportation to/from an interview if they're interested enough to ask you to an in-person one, so lack of money to move shouldn't keep you from applying, if you know of a good opportunity.
If you live in the UK you will surely know Dave Gorman [1]. He did a TV show called American Unchained [2] where he attempted to get across America without using chain stores. In that series I saw an America that I recognise from the Americans I know and have worked with (I've never visited America). Americans are some of the most friendly, optimistic and outgoing people in the known universe. In the show he experienced many Americans going out of their way to help him, many for little or no financial gain and many lamented the decline of offline, small time, service with a smile, mom and pop America.

If I may be so bold as to offer some advice to Americans: Be careful not to lose this side of your culture, sure you've got the biggest army, the biggest economy and more burger stores than any country would ever need but what has been your real strength for the last 100 years has been your welcoming, trusting and honest nature.

good luck.

I am largely expecting to get negative opinions -- then again, I no nothing about how advertising network operate on a day to day basis filling inventory.

I was hoping I would catch the opinion of someone who has worked at or attempted to start an advertising network and has some experience. Mainly, how tough is it to fill ad inventory and how anal advertisers are about traditional vs. new forms of advertising?

This is the sort of domain specific insight I think people on HN might have where others would not.

Thanks for your feedback Daniel, I am going to take action on your advise in addition to the hope I can find someone with previous ad network experience here.

I've been working with puppet and ansible, and I'm sure I'd rather take on an ansible. I've been exposed to both and ansible has been far easier to figure out for me. Obviously this will be different for everyone depending on what you already know and who wrote that thing that you're inheriting.

The NY governor in your video cited that 40-60% of people are going to get it (20 min mark) and the same thing was said by CA governor a couple days ago too (56%): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22633570

So it seems like there's a consensus within the top-level leadership that containment is impossible. I still don't understand why we've given up when China managed to do it.
It feels like everyone someone voices an opinion about GTK3 explaining why they don't like it, some GTK3 fanboy has to chime in questioning the opinion and implying it isn't rational. Yeah, this makes me want to stick with GTK3 even less.

People don't have to explain their preferences in a rational way, they will just switch away from GTK3. It's cheaper.

Successful developers will try to interpret these users' feedback in a self-critical, introspective and positive way, and tweak their product based on the feedback. As opposed to continually challenging the giver of the feedback to explain their opinion in more detail, as if by repeatedly digging deeper and deeper into an opinion, you will at some point find some fundamental logical contradiction in their views that will make them re-evaluate their life philosophy on why they just don't like GTK3.

I for one think the two opinions given above are perfectly clear ("GTK3 is becoming very GNOME3 specific", "As a user, I don't want them") and can't see why further clarification is being requested. If you really need clarification on these perfectly clear opinions, it is your problem.
Thank you so much for that comment! HN has a hard audience, but I thing most points are quite valid so I will take them as feedback :D

I was going to say, it's like looking at the "gig" economy as a positive trend. This type of hiring process leads to less job stability and no health insurance, both of which are sorely under represented in the US for as developed a nation as we are. I think this is one more disconnect in business and success that we have been seeing in recent history.
Most small adverticers see it the opposite way. We don't want to pay you money to show the ads to someone that is not interested in our products anyway and never will click the link.

I think you're missing the first step, which is, formalizing a problem using matrices and vectors in the first place.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i can easily imagine that people have been solving those types of issues manualy for centuries before finding the "shortcut" or representing transforms using matrices and figuring the rules of matrix & vector multiplication.

Still, i think you're making a good point. So maybe the correct process would be : problem stating, naive "manual" solution, graphical representation and then matrice & vector formalizing ?

Incorrect, because as Justice Thomas states, the "heart" of the work being copied is at issue, not a given percentage. Neville Longbottom is obviously not the "heart" of what a Harry Potter book is.

Presumably the issue would be if one wrote a book substantially about the same character as Harry Potter who went through the same plot events in significant detail, but only 0.4% of the sentences were identical and the main character's name was Barry.

I know this won't count for much, but as an amatuer programmer who has done a lot of web scraping at my job due to having a restricted corporate environment, its a breath of fresh air to work with the few websites that actually assign IDs to elements, don't autogenerate all graphic elements and feel like whoever wrote them actually cared. Especially if you are trying to parse it with something stupid like Excel VBA. Trying to reverse engineer what happens when you click a button on a site with 20 event listeners tied to "submit" is a freakish nightmare.
> What if they're allergic, or deathly afraid of dogs?

If they're afraid of dogs they shouldn't drive unknown people for a living, just like someone who's deathly afraid of blood probably won't be a surgeon.

Allergy could be handled by Uber, who should be provided by the driver with a medical certification of the allergy and shouldn't even show that car to the blind customer (if the ADA allows that).

I think the driver shouldn't be able to see that the customer has a service dog, but I agree that they should get a compensation from Uber for doing that ride.
What if you were required to have a valid CA certified key to relay messages? Then we could reject connection attempts that came from unauthorized hosts and we could revoke keys for spam relays.

Thanks for the heads up.
First, strangely enough, the internet helps. Things I have to get off my chest, but which I know will make me look strange or cranky or childish, can come off in relative anonymity. (And when I do get them off my chest, people respond more frankly, which helps.)

Second, I always knew there was something wrong with me socially, and I had the vague intention of improving at least as early as junior high. At first my ideas were pretty vague, and my progress depended on a trickle of new ideas from the pop science reading I did. Evolutionary psychology helped me see social relationships through ideas I already understood. It was always popularized hand-in-hand with a really bleak and brutal view of life (the perception that EP was just the paranoia of sexually insecure men, dressed up in scientific language, was probably created by some of the books I read) so it may have hurt more than it helped. Still, I started to get some insight into my limitations in high school. Then the book Emotional Intelligence came out around the time I graduated, and I read it cover to cover several times. It was just a self-help book, but it instantly clicked with me and gave coherence to a lot of half-formed ideas I had. It gave me an agenda of concrete items I could improve on. I remember there was a little section about how savvy kindergarten-age kids approached other children that actually helped me make friends in college.

Third, when I went to college I got a frame of reference for how normal, well-adjusted people who were informed and liberal would act. Back in high school I really couldn't parse out which differences between myself and everybody else were due to me being better-informed, more critical, and more liberal and which differences were due to me being socially retarded. Not only did I not really like the people around me, which made my social problems a lot more understandable than I realized at the time, I was literally afraid to emulate anybody around me because I might pick up customs that would make me look stupid when I finally broke out into the "real" wold. College released me from that. It's amazing how much more natural it is to emulate and learn from people you actually like, and whom you would like to be like.

Fourth, I realized that I had some emotional issues that were interfering with the proper functioning of my social skills. I.e., I'm a lot more socially competent when I feel good about myself. Trying to be social while you hate yourself is like trying to boot a computer with an inadequate power supply. Taking care of your emotions makes everything else easier.
I'm not saying that and you know it.

Newspapers have been around for hundreds of years, news readers and the internet for decades. I almost feel sorry for the newspaper industry who had a working model for so many hundreds of years, and now have to keep up with innovation while keeping up with world events at the same time.

Of course failing to innovate is their own fault. They would have been better to hire smart web engineers and planners from the start. Now they are playing catch up game while other people make money off of content that costs them money to produce.
There are so many jokes one could make. Since it's HN, I won't.
One pretty disappointing thing from my perspective was no-iTunes related announcements. Using iTunes as your generalized device sync hub is terrible and Apple hasn't given any hints on what it plans to do about it.

The cloud sync stuff Google showed off was impressive and that's their strength. Apple has a lot of catching up to do and they need to get to it pretty soon.
Not sure how you get that. Check out the original data; 13 people responded "I remember when #clojure had 6 people in it" (which seems exactly right, taking timezones into account).
What I have seen work best is enabling people to work on the stuff they are excited about or learn and empower them to set meetings, talk to stakeholders to make things happen like an entrepreneur and they will shine! Also, try to keep the bs out of their way and get them the resources they need so they can expand into whoever they want to become.

There are those ahead of you, and behind you, all of us a continuum of experience, lesser and greater, reaching towards the light.

Remember not that you have already reached for the light, but that others right now are reaching for it, and guide them instead towards it instead of flipping the switch to "off."
I actually start to appreciate function coloring in C# to never forget that I am operating on asynchronous code. In .NET the compiler also throws warnings if you do not await or pickup the task/promise.

I also believe that you should see where asynchronous behavior can happen in your code. So from that angle i also appreciate the keyword and the coloring. Hidden resource access is pure evil.
When saying "using the build in DWM" he does not refer to the suckless DWM, right? I would be surprised when the buildin WSL would include suckless DWM and actually power the tilting.

Nim strikes a great balance. No need for a low level language for cli and general software. I liked crystal but the lack of support on windows and lackluster dev experience made me stick to Nim.

Nim also can double as a web language by transpiling to JS.

When being hired by the DoD, and interviewed for your security clearance, you damn well better tell them about your drug use. If you don't, then you're hiding something from them that could be used as a lever against you in the future by spies from another country.

And lying to your employer about things like drug use will get you fired faster than just about anything else.

Yes, I did start work in the basement of the Pentagon in 1989 for what was then the Defense Communications Agency. I will let you ascertain for yourself what I may have told them during that interview.

This sounds very similar to AWS CDK. How does it compare?
Nothing if unsafe Rust is considered, though Zig does not require you to fight the language nearly as much. This is especially obvious with embedded. Zig's philosophy of no hidden control flow or allocation makes things simple. Simplicity is power.

For certain problems you would want a TLA+ specification for safety and especially liveness either way. It's not like Rust absolutely guarantees correctness in all cases.

Rust sits in a sweet spot between C/Zig and languages like Java, but it's not an appropriate replacement for either of them.
I know, but even without root isn't it trivial for Amazon to unambiguously tell that this is what the VM's are doing, without looking at anything else on the instances? How can you run virtual machine instances without knowing what the CPU's and GPU's are doing? (There is no mathematical 'private computing' or secret computing over untrusted hardware, i.e. hardware run by other people, that is used in practice anywhere in the world, where for fancy mathematical reasons the operator has no idea what the CPU or GPU of the instance they're running for someone is actually computing. It's not even a cryptographic primitive people know about, and certainly not something performed by hypervisors.)

The CPU or GPU pattern of bitcoin mining must be completely unambiguous and trivial for Amazon to detect on EC2 instances. Or am I wrong for some reason?
If you use an M2M or data-only plan, your monthly costs would be around $20.00 a month, not including the server that receives the GPS data. The only problem is that the cops won't do anything even if you provide them with the GPS data.
> The NIST collaborated with the NSA to put a backdoor in the Dual_EC_DRBG standard

The version reported in the news at the time was that the NIST didn't know about the back door, and was quite pissed off with the NSA when it was discovered. The Wikipedia article seems consistent with this?

As for the rest, if you XOR multiple sources together, an adversary would have to compromise all of the sources in order to compromise the result.
Dawkins coined meme to mean just such a cultural piece of information that disseminates. Just as a gene wants to get to as many people as possible (ie natural, sexual selection) so too do ideas. In this case, the internet has vastly sped it up such that ideas can travel instantaneously.

> which call for armed citizens to take action.

And the citizens weren't armed. The people killed were the unarmed protestors, by the police.

We can imagine what would happen if they had a certain skin color and were protesting a different event. It isn't the reaction that would happen today.
This is the kind of question that has obvious answers that few entertain seriously. Optimism Bias, etc.
