There are two spheres on twitter, the first one is a broadcasting tool, its the accounts with large follower numbers broadcast their stuff, mostly its promotional stuff but it has a use too. They pay attention to the tweets where their username is mentioned and average joe whose voice was ignored now could make some big brand listen to him and resolve a problem if he has one.
the other sphere is the chitchat region, where users with medium number of followers and follow decent number of people have conversations, most of that are retweets, which is just copies of someone's message, retweets are pointless but provide good statistics for trends and stuff.
anyway, twitter is definitely useful because it is a large pool of current and latest information, but you need really good filtering tools to get what exactly you want, not unrelated noise.
in terms of monetizing twitter is in trouble. they want to stick ads in those 140 characters? its going to be hard as long as the ads look like ads, but if they manage to learn about the user and his needs for that particular moment so they could serve ads that do not look like ads but are more the services that user needs at that point, then there is a bingo.
and yeah about google, i dont think google should buy twitter, it does not fit, and google does not really need it. twitter would make a good company standalone.
Yep good point RC refused classification is typically anything above R. So for example a porn store owner was just jailed for selling gay porn http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/stories/s2927840.htm . RC != childporn and is quite broad, so if it is the bar quite a lot could be filtered and caught up in it. I'm sure some content would definitely be RC on youtube for example and with the general malaise of large swathes of the public service IT; I wouldn't put it past a ham fisted approach that catches up quite a lot.

Was this on your connection? AFAIK none of this is blocked and no one was actively filtering. What ISP are you with?

> Though, and at risk of re-igniting old flamewars, I always preferred vi to emacs even despite having a fondness for LISP.

That's because vi is a better text editor (as the old saw goes, emacs is a nice OS, but it lacks a decent text editor.)
I think the point was that a sitter doesn't need to do it professionaly. A trusted, sober guide with some experience will work as well.
I'm a researcher at Microsoft who's worked a lot on this problem (neural network inference on encrypted data). Take a look at this paper we published at PLDI [1] on our CHET compiler. The speed of the inference depends a lot on the depth of the network. A small 2 convolutional layer model takes a couple of seconds, while a 10 convolutional layer SqueezeNet takes 164 seconds. The reason is that you have to select encryption parameters according to the depth of the computation. Since this paper was published we've by the way improved these numbers ~5X.

That was optimizing for latency and throughput is a something you can separately optimize for. This landmark paper (also from Microsoft) [2] showed inferencing on 2 convolutional layer network at a throughput of 58k images per hour.

What about information asymmetry that makes it easy for some to manage these technicalities?

One billionaire can easily have a full-time team working for him to defend his case, and also buy politicians to do the same. In an oligarchy, technicalities can easily become tools of power.

How do world travelers pay for health care? Do they have to pay anything if they are in a country with universal health care? Is there some sort of insurance you can get that covers you world wide? How much does that cost?

I'm young and have decent savings, and would love to take a risk on something more interesting/start a company, but from what I can tell health care costs are more than rent if I'm on my own. (I'm in the US obviously)
I can speak to this personally.

My father is currently in a federal prison. I do not want to reveal sentencing, names, etc. but I deal with Jpay on a daily basis.

Their core currency is 'stamps' if you are technologically literate.

It is $4.50 to be able to buy 12 'stamps'

It takes one stamp to send an email, plus one stamp per attachment.

Beyond this, there are music 'credits', video call 'credits', etc.

It is a fucking racketeering ring. I literally keep a Windows laptop so that I can have video calls with my father because its incompatible with OSX and Linux (Ubuntu 14.04 in my case)

Would love to hear a way to make a difference here...I've thought of nothing.
Yeah, that could be it, since I don't think I've ever had a Facebook crash on my iPhone 6.

This is not true. Bitcoin energy consumption is somewhere between Chile and Argentina.

That’s the only reason I even entertain the notion of UBI: if you’re going to have a massive welfare state, then the only sensible way is hand everyone $PovertyLine income no strings attached. Otherwise you get a massive costly self-serving bureaucracy making it agonizing for people to get benefits.

But you’ll still get the massive economic damage of discouraging productivity and funding vice.

If you’re going to do something wrong, at least do it right. But it’s still wrong.
Yes, so, basically "because money".
What are the alternatives that didn't win out?
Wrong comparison. Django and React are products, if you were to say experts make it easier for us to write Django and React themselves that would better.
OK, I thought you were advocating zero based on complicated index calculations for some algorithm, with mod & div, which is what I was trying to say could be abstracted away. The literal syntax `a=[1,2,3]` makes a one-dimensional `Array{Int,1}` whose first element is indeed `a[1]`. (`b` is an array of arrays, while `c = [1 2 3; 4 5 6]` is an honest 2-dimensional array.)

I develop from multiple machines depending on where I am. The dev server that then does all the version control bits as if it were the local server. It's also a lot beefier than my laptop.

Not exactly. I use Guava's Optional frequently when writing Java. It really helps take care of the null problem. It doesn't change the language significantly. However, I really wish it was part of the language instead of a library. Other libraries typically don't return Optionals which forces me to add even more lines of code protecting against nulls.

edit: s/Java/Android Java/, unfortunately the spat between Oracle & Google has prevented most of Java 7 & all of Java 8 from being incorporated into Android Java, which is what I work with on a daily basis.
When you stop to think about how much you assume to be true without looking for hard evidence of those assumptions actually being true - because those assumptions are based on assertions by people you assume are more intelligent/educated or influential than you, and then you base all your decisions on those assumptions, some of which may actually be flawed, invalid, untrue or manipulated to someone else's agenda, it's hard to know just how much of your thought process is authentically your own... right down to the fabric of society that is woven into your psyche.

Look around you and ask yourself how much of it is actually authentic and makes any real difference in your life. Is any of it authentic? Is any of it really you? How much of it is manipulated by the media, who are really just a proxy for the influencers of the network owners... the choices of shows on available to us on the TV, the way the news is portrayed, the mood of ads that barrage us constantly, the influence of corporations on government that use lobbyists to pass bills that propagate the cycle...

I daresay that a miniscule portion of your thought process is actually your own [hypothetical you, not actual you]. Much of what we do going unexamined until something major happens in our lives - divorce, job loss, health issues, death that causes us to stop and examine life and ask ourselves - How much does any of this routine matter? How much of it makes any tangible difference?

The article is ambiguous, bringing up the idea as Milton Friedman's support for a negative income tax (which IIRC is a form of GMI).

For me, Sublime Text feels like an editor with the ethos of Vim/Emacs, but designed in the 21st century, without all the legacy baggage.

The key-bindings are based on modern GUI standards. The configuration uses simple JSON files. It provides most commonly used features as standard.

Vim/Emacs are still probably more powerful once learned, but after using vim for a few years (admittedly not trying that hard to improve), I felt I was able to get to the same efficiency in Sublime in a few weeks.
Hey HN,

Well, to be truthful, judging by what I've read, he was a bit of a smug teenager. All his life.
That's not really how it goes.

A "property right" is an intangible thing where you can run to a court and say: "X took my Y." You can only assert this if you show ownership of Y. How civil asset forfeiture works is that if an officer has probable cause to believe that property is not lawfully yours, because it's the proceeds of illegal activity, he can seize it. If you contest the seizure, in court, the government has the burden of proof, by preponderance of the evidence, to show that the asset is subject to forfeiture. Preponderance of the evidence is the same burden of proof used in any civil case where the ownership of property is disputed.

The styling of the case, "Florida v. Wool Socks" has nothing to do with the "property being guilty." It's just how in rem proceedings are designated. Such a proceeding is simply one in which the lawful owner of some property is not a party. In the case of civil asset forfeiture the styling is used because the theory is that you're not the rightful owner of the property to begin with. Other contexts where it might be used is if you're enforcing a money judgment against someone who refuses to show up in court by attaching property he owns in your state. It's not that the "property is guilty" just that the case is about the property and the actual owner is absent.
If the behaviors are misdemeanors, they are, by definition, already criminalized.

Thanks! Good points.

If you don't have any videos, you might try a screen recording tool just to get something going. I envision one of the intended uses for Shave is editing together screencasts. That's what I use it for at work now.

I too played it safe and avoided floating point operations in the loom.cc code:

https://loom.cc/?function=grid_tutorial&help=1

All asset quantities are signed 128 bit integers under the hood. However, when the wallet interface displays a quantity, it uses a scale factor to place the decimal point. An asset type denominated in a fiat currency like USD or EUR typically uses a scale of 2. An asset type denominated in a commodity currency like GAU (grams of gold) typically uses a scale of 7, allowing a number like 31.1034768, which is the precise number of grams in a troy ounce. If you want to see it in kilograms, you can use scale 10.

Rape is a difficult case.

First of all, I am glad to hear that you want to talk about the difficult cases because it means that you are okay with Catholic teaching in non-rape cases.

With regards to rape, ultimately is comes down to the fact that the child that arises from the rape should not be punished for the sins of the father. Catholic teaching respects the human being and sees the bigger picture.

What is wonderful is that if you want to understand what the Catholic Church teaches anyone can consult the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC) which can be found at: http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/_INDEX.HTM . The specific page that you are interested in is: http://www.usccb.org/beliefs-and-teachings/what-we-believe/c...

So, you can review the CCC to see what the Catholic Church actually teaches but in asking what anyone think you are getting their opinion and NOT necessarily what the Church teaches.

Finally, you selected a single tragic instance of a rape victim. I think you need to research and follow up with rape victims who have had an abortion and who later regret it. For example: http://www.lifenews.com/2013/05/06/13-year-old-rape-victim-r...

Useful enough for me and my crowd (Neuroscientist). I've not had many users complain (none actually) that they had to install Firefox or Chrome. Mainly because the tools we useful enough that the effort was worth it to them.

I think if the games and toys are enough fun, people won't care that they have to run it in a different browser. Hell look at how many people buy new computers just to run the latest games.

3D on the web in my mind will be most useful for games and I believe scientific visualization and engineering applications which are usually people who don't care about installing a different browsers.

Have to agree with you there. I started a job using the exact same stack I was using in a hobby project. I had my dev environment fully up in less than two hours and had production ready PRs by noon. On my first day. Then someone got it in their head to rewrite everything in react (2014) and we slowed to an absolute crawl. We never saw the momentum we had pre-react, at least before I moved on two years later.
Can you go into a bit more detail about how using CRDTs avoids the need for consensus-based replication?
Great questions. I am going to write a detailed article about it because you are not the first person asking these.

We have two deployment modes:

- lambda

- ec2 instance

Depending on how you would like to target Lambda you have multiple options. On ec2 too.

We use VS Code on both Linux and MacOS. The tooling is kind of meh at the moment, Ionide is not ready for prime time we run into issues frequently with it. We are considering to switching to Rider soon.

> I frequently think about doing writing an app or web service, but then talk myself out of it by thinking that the effort is much greater than it sounds and those efforts would be better off trying to progress my career.

It's a lot of effort to launch stuff but with that you get a lot of rounded experience and perspective from it you might not get elsewhere even if you don't make a profit. For example, you'll have to do at least a little marketing, content generation, web design, UI design and product design on top of regular programming. This all helps your next app launch be successful and maybe your future career is working for yourself. Not everything is about money either.
When I grew up, it was well known that most newspapers were propaganda rags. People bought them anyway but generally as entertainment.

I read somewhere how the industrial revolution was a consequence of disallowing slave labour/inhumanly hard labour.

The greek had invented steam powered machines, but considered them a curiosity,or a way to push open doors 'by the gods' without human labour.

The industrial revolution, in that vision, happened when mines still needed a way to push the ore up, but humans didn't do it anymore for a price that made it worthwile.

So there was a clear need for an alternative, and that made people look around. steam power was already known, but started to make economic sense. Hence, it got perfected.
there is a massive difference between the data you can get from logs and what you get from GA
This may be because of how push notifications work on those platforms, that is applications have to contact a centralized platform (Google/Apple) to notify users instead of relying on traditional methods.

There are standards in the XMPP ecosystem (XEPs) to do that right though it's not enabled by default on most servers yet (see prosody's mod_{muc_,}cloud_notify).
Some additional info about this device is available from Energy Star to confirm the CADR ratings are in cfm. [0] This is odd, as the standard for CADR is often in m3/h. That works out to about 420 ish m3/h in this case.

I rememeber seeing a video on YouTube indicating this device takes 2.2W on low, 4.4 on medium, and about 40 on high. [1] The disparity is reasonable, as the fan laws state that power increases with the cube of shaft speed, and airflow is proportional. Given that the product runs with such low power, it uses a brushless dc motor.

The only issue with this device is that it appears to lack serious amounts of carbon filtration - no hundreds of grams of carbon pellets for odor and chemical adsorption. Not sure if this could be added as a DIY addon.

Air dryers are super unhygienic. One person who did not wash their hands properly means droplets with germs all over the place. Plus, in places with high humidity (or even otherwise) it takes a long time to actually dry your hand. Recyclable paper towels are so much better.
It removes a privilege escalation scenario. With docker i can easily gain root, with podman i can’t.

Based on my experiences, many "bottom parents" don't want support, or they've delegated the job of "education" to teachers. Getting parents to care matters.

Free lunch doesn't do that. full bellies learn better, but if mom/dad have a "who cares" attitude, that is very likely to flow down to kids.

I also acknowledge the challenge of getting people to care. Its no easy feat.
