Alaska is mostly in between China and North America, though.
I know of 2 in Prague. One in Těšnov 5 and the other in Komerční bank on Václavské Náměstí. Surprising how many people are scared to ride the whole loop.
Sure. Well, basically Solr is just a flat index, although you can store now mutliple-values in one field and even make joins. Here is the clou: Everything is preprocessed and stored in a mysql-db and solr just "caches" everything. Its some kind of the flattened mysql schema. So I have a combination of a relational db and all the benefits with the huge bonus of the speed and reliability of solr in between. I started of with just a MySQL db, but real-time scoring is really a pain in the "back" with mysql and I couldn't figure a nice way to do it. On the other hand, if you expand a story, you see that the comments/upvotes from the sources are fetched, because joins like that are no possible in solr (read: I couldn't find a way to do it).

So, all the information is preprocessed at index time and solr is basically a text-blob spread across multiple fields, yes.
If you go with PHP, I would suggest learning how to use Composer[0], PHP's sort of de facto package manager, to organize your project. What you're describing seems like a really simple application, but even so, with dependency management, a router and the PSR autoloader it's much, much easier.

Of course, choosing another language (Python, Ruby, whatever) will likely mean choosing a framework and the package manager for that language, but with PHP you have to decide whether or not to use package management or a framework on your own. The minimum viable product version of this as I see it can be done within a single PHP file, so it could be argued that the extra complexity isn't strictly necessary.

If you're working in Windows, Xampp[1] makes it very easy to set up a local server and test PHP applications on your own machine.

how hard would it be for someone to do this attack to facebook? I'm guessing Facebook has already faced this kind of attack and designed its systems to be resilient to it.
Unfortunately you have to pay for a premium membership if you want the ability to block and formatting the device remotely. However, the same advice and recommendations of the previous option apply to Lookout - make sure your GPS is on and ready to serve at an unfortunate time to help an Android phone to track stolen or lost.
Why do you think markets need to grow in the first place?
The performance advantages of ECS are a bit of a red herring. There's not much of a tradeoff when it comes to speed of iteration.

The origins of ECS are in the work of Scott Bilas and Adam Martin, who weren't seeking performance improvements, but rather a way to allow non-technical teammates to iterate faster. This thing was revolutionary in the late 90s/early 2000s because suddenly you didn't need an army of increasingly expensive programmers just to get simple things done.

The performance boost was discovered much later when people found out that ECS could naturally benefit from data-oriented design. Performance is a nice-to-have but is far from being the raison d'être of ECS. It still makes sense to to have ECS or EC (or even just non-inheritance-component-based, like Unity) without the performance advantages of data-oriented design.
"Deepface technology has of course been around for a number of years, at this point, but the Reface team’s focus is on making the tech accessible and easy to use — serving it up as a push-button smartphone app with no need for more powerful hardware and near instant transformation from a single selfie snap. (It says it turns selfies into face vectors representing distinguishing user’s facial features — and pledges that uploaded photos are removed from its Google Cloud platform 'within an hour'.)

No need for tech expertise nor lots of effort to achieve a lifelike effect. The inexorable social shares flowing from such a user friendly tech application then work to chalk off product marketing.

It was a similar story with the AI tech underpinning Prisma — which left that app open to merciless cloning, though it was initially only transforming photos. But Mogylnyi believes the team behind the video face swaps has enough of a head (ha!) start to avoid a similar fate."
With a wide interpretation of "wager", your definition includes lots of human behavior that no one would traditionally call gambling, because all future events have unknown outcomes, and most future events have appreciably unknown ones.
And will continue to.

Event-based, surprise inflation is the only negative inflation, for the end user.
> that same modified DNA combines with DNA from the other parent to form the DNA for the child.

Sure, but only cell#1 has the actual molecules from the parents.

Cell division requires that the DNA be replicated. What surprises me is that the replication step (apparently) preserves methylation. (If it didn't, there would be no observable epigenetic effect in the organism).

i.e. from an information perspective, the bits encoded in the DNA aren't don't just come from the sequence of bases, but also "out of band" data.
Hi,

I wanted to make a population health tool that would anonymously collect heart rate data from the Apple Watch together with an approximate location.
Increase in resting heart rate during sleep is a good sign of infection.

https://github.com/unrelatedlabs/infection-alert

Could not get it publish, because Apple insists on IRB approval.

Any researched want's to get this through IRB? App is done and open source, backend is also built, the data is supposed to be public.
A few weeks ago, in a location where the virus had not been confirmed yet, that could easily happen. The situation is changing so fast that a few weeks - or even days - can make a huge difference.
Did you make an account just to ask this comment? haha :D
There’s way more family style eating in Japan than the US at least.
Testing and tracing are core parts of both SK's and Singapore's strategies who had cases in their countries and seem to have beaten it. I don't think we'll ever be able to proof with 100% certainty that their strategies worked because and it wasn't good luck or some other unknown factor, however it seems highly likely given the same strategy is working out well on two different places.

South Korean foreign minister believes it's testing that was key: https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-asia-51897979/coronavirus-...

Singapore was hit hard by SARS. They adjusted their strategy and are successful with COVID-19. paper: https://academic.oup.com/jtm/advance-article/doi/10.1093/jtm...

Maybe they were just lucky, but if it was my decision, I'd put my money on the strategy that worked in those two countries and minimized cost in lives and economic impact.
Lots of people commentating on the innocent/guilt dilemma and who to believe, but what I have noticed that a lot of these cases that are incindiary, in particular in the United States seem to emerge from the university system and I don't think this is an accident.

It seems outright byzantine to me. There appears to be a parallel justice system at work where complaints about serious crimes are brought to faculty or peers or title IX compliance officers rather than state authority directly. There are countless of informal relationships between students and teachers and people who are economically dependent in ways that are ripe for abuse. There appears to be a culture of brushing serious crimes under the carpet on one hand and a reaction of vigilante justice as a response.
"POSIX was just an example, and it is possible to write portable code using #ifdef.."

Yes, two ways. One way uses autoconf (and tests each individual option to see which branch of the ifdef to use) and the other uses Imake (and has a big, continuously maintained database of which option to use on each system).
I've found that the things I taught to others are the things that I learned the most completely. Not sure if it is the most efficient way but having to explain it to someone else always seemed to crystalize the details for me.
Would be cool if there were a mobile app.
That's kind of a poor metaphor, as there are at least a dozen distinct and useful types of hammer.
Aspire to? Of course not. But you might learn something new about the disease like the high IQ level of some schizophrenics that manage to construct alternate realities with fascinating internal logic.
Why is he interested in programming? It must seem cool to him for some reason. I'd try to tap into that in order to find a direction to go in. And for a 14 year old, it would be helpful to find some heroes. Without the cool and the heroes, it may be hard to devote the time for it to be impactful.
Obviously hard to tell, but you can extrapolate a bit.

At $100mm in revenue, and an assumed $60 order price, you've got 1.6mm orders. Assuming 25% of people pay for faster delivery, you've got gross revenue per order of $4.50, or gross revenue of $7.2mm. If Instavart takes a 30% share (similar-ish to Uber and iTunes), you're looking at $2.2mmin revenue after paying contractors.

So that would leave you with 2.2% of sales as your margin after contractors. This obviously changes if they mark up the groceries or if the assertions are different.

Out of interest, a 15 P/E on 2bb would correspond to a 60x grow in their market (ish). They currently represent about 100mm of Whole Foods 15bb take, or about 0.67%. A 60x increase would take them to managing 40% of Whole Foods orders, given no expansion into other grocery chains.

This is a lot of hand-waving, so please take it with a grain of salt.
Wow thats truly a bit shocking , I dont think its surprising that visits to Whistleblower sites are less than 1% , if it was more we would live in an other world.

About the high percent of visits to those abuse-related hidden services , which is a horrible fact , is mostly related to the kind of service provided ...

whistleblower sites are veeery special in a way and not that many people even have any motivation to use them .
All of those illegal markets get far more visits naturally but those who use them as buyers(which must be the main group of visiters )maybe only check them out like once a week ( maybe like most of us use amazon maybe even a bit less).

But now think of youtube or sex related video Sites ... they naturally get more visits from 1 user in a week than any other service ... so i think thats a huge chunk of it.

So just to get this right , i really think its disgusting and shocking how much visits these sites seem to generate, but i think its not necessary related that most user in the dark Web use these services , but maybe just more like those who use them are using them much more exessive than any other service. Also we have to mind the factors mentioned in the article like DOS attacks etc...
Indeed. I'm surprised she just sat around and did nothing - if I were in that situation I'd be ecstatic about getting the money, but very concerned about what this does to my employability down the line.

If I interviewed someone with "two years" of experience in-industry, and it turns out that all they've done since graduation is sit around and chew corn flakes... well, there are a lot more qualified people out there.
You don't, you just adapt to the rest of the world and use it given the appropriate opportunity.
Some languages are just more fun and more productive to work with. There is no Golder Hammer, but there are jackhammers, and I'd sure as hell rather break through a rock with one of those than a hammer.
check out Webvanta (http://www.webvanta.com) a hosted CMS for designers and developers to build great sites fast. Much easier to learn and faster to get site live then drupal or joomla, total design flexibility and simple database for structured content such as projects.
One thing I have noticed is people who do not seem smart to me are always quick to remind you of how smarter than other people they are.
Thanks for that. I forgot to mention that the other founders are on salaries but we can only be paid if there is money. I've updated the original post to reflect this.
Very few sites actually make use of <abbr> and <acronym> tags, when they would be handy for people without any disabilities, much of time.
Oops, I can't edit my post anymore, but I wanted to add a little tip for Firefox users (as it is very good now), this addon[1] adds a search engine that does exactly what I do with my custom engine in Chrome.

Funny thing, I did not make this myself, which shows me clearly that I am not the only one feeling this way.

Maybe in the future.
Please don't do this here; the site guidelines ask you not to:

What I was trying to say was that India could probably derail the treaty if they really wanted to.
This advice is fantastic. I think people are too afraid to take drastic changes in their life and this sort of change will offer many peripheral benefits. I plan on writing some articles about this.

In short:

This 3 month change will break your daily routine. People are extremely habitual in their patterns. This individual could be extremely allergic to some mould found in the coffee shop they go daily - and have no way of ever knowing. Basically making this drastic change will force the individual to change their entire life, habits and thinking. Consider it a reboot of your entire system. Reminds me of:

A novice was trying to fix a broken Lisp machine by turning the power off and on.
Knight, seeing what the student was doing, spoke sternly: "You cannot fix a machine by just power-cycling it with no understanding of what is going wrong."
Knight turned the machine off and on.
The machine worked.

I would suggest a few small modifications to your points. Oils are extremely healthy. I would have copious amounts of vegetable oils in the diet suggested since it contains no other sources of fats. Coffee and tea can be a fantastic natural stimulant with next to zero side effects. They have been used forever. People traveled at high risk across the world to obtain them - they do have some value.
Although I love the effort put forth by MS for even thinking about HTML5 but the webpage is silly.
Firstly, why are they even testing other browsers. Should I thank MS for testing out everyone else?
Secondly, as mentioned already, someone should send them a memo on <canvas>.
Lastly, the first thing I saw was that border radius with dotted style is not supported in chrome so I tested it and it works flawlessly. This was the first and only test I conducted from their data and it was enough for me to dismiss this article.
This suggestion is good until you need to change the whole set of URLs. Of course in a single web site deployment you seldom want to change URLs (and it is often a bad idea), but I changed URL scheme sometimes when I need to deploy my application in another place and integrating with other system. (e.g. Changing from path routing to subdomain). I would made crazy if I need to modify every controller to change the URL scheme.

I think the routing abstraction is necessary and useful in larger application. Isn't it a very simple and clever syntax for the routing configuration is good enough?

Heh thanks for the plug. And to grandparent, PadMapper basically strips away all the listings which don't have an address, which incidentally gets rid of a lot of the spam.
My thought would be to stay away from the teachers. Quiz the kid to see where they need help and then teach away with loads of feedback and reinforcement.
So the answer to the question "will i make enough $ on android with the piracy problem?" would be "depends on the number of generous users".
I was linked here by a friend. There's a lot of thoughts in the discussion about how and if input prediction could be made more sophisticated, maybe using machine learning.

This is actually the topic of a degree project I've been working on for the past year, and I hope to finalize the report next month and publish the code on github soon. The tldr is that it seems to take a lot of additional complexity for the improvement you get, and it is currently unknown how "false positive" predictions (ie when the model predicts a new buttonpress that doesn't happen) affect the user experience (but intuitively it seems like it would be worse than the false negatives we currently experience). In other words, we don't know if it would actually feel any better to play even if, say, the prediction accuracy is slightly higher. That said, this is only a first attempt and who knows how much it could be improved.

I'll probably post more about it as @zeknife on twitter next month.
A perhaps useful quick reference point-by-point summary of the Tractatus but it would be even better if one could see the whole tree and branches in full or expandable/collapsible branch by branch. As is, it requires the text to be open in front of one (this may not always be convenient in the internet age).

I don't read it that way, I think it's meant as 'if you reject IQ, you have raised your standards of evidence so high you must logically reject everything else in psychology/psychometry as well'. It's meant to highlight a contradiction.
So an ICE is better than electric in much the same sense that a horse is better than an ICE.
It's the correct decision (although Facebook likely only cares about its bottom line). the YPG is designated as a terrorist organisation by the Turkish state and it's quite obvious that Turkey will want to exercise sovereignty over its communication channels rather than letting an opposing military force broadcast freely to its citizens.

It's not really the job of a private company to undermine nations in this way for simple reasons of sovereignty, and because even if Facebook were to somehow win in the short term, the five to ten year consequence would probably be that nations like Turkey decouple entirely and take control over communications back a la Russia or China.
Where did you get this information from?
Sure editor numbers are in decline, that doesn't support your point. Ignore All Rules is one of the fundamental principles the site was founded on.
I would replace my old and trusty SonyErricson Naite and SO's cedar with this if only it'd come with WiFi and/or 3G connectivity and that weird but reliable google maps app.

(Opera mini is also a requirement.)
I have only bookmarked this, not played with it, but you might be interested in http://gridstylesheets.org, an implementation of the Cassowary Constraint Solver.
Except it doesn't illustrate the point because it's completely inaccurate and doesn't make any sense. If you're still making payments, what does the bank have to gain by "flying your mortgage into the side of a mountain"? What do you even mean by that?

I get that there are ways that the bank could screw if they're your identity provider. What you stated is not one of them.
Good blog post and thanks for the response.

I just touched on the development aspect I found interesting, but I understood the underlying intent: the "other" things. I agree about group lunch being very important for developers working together as one. I've experienced both sides of the coin and there is a discernible difference in relationships/familiarity between the two. I'm curious if this group setting can ever be replicated virtually. I don't think Soylent IV & Skype will do the trick. :)

I'd love to see a postmortem blog post after the next class from both students and maintainers and what did and didn't work with the virtual program.
Gold is a physical good, has practical uses (in electronics and medicine as well as jewelry and leafing), and has throughout history been both desirable and used as currency. On the other hand, stock (dollars) is either just bits or a piece of paper. Given how valuable gold has been in the past and present, it's a pretty safe bet that it will continue to be valuable in the future.
> If I have two candidates and the only signals are (resume, portfolio), then I will select the highest signal. I am sorry, but I can't in conscience decide to take someone without proven work over someone with proven work without other information.

On the upside, the person with a code portfolio and less other hobbies is also more likely to be winning to commit more of their time to work, stay later, do "hackathons." It's a win-win for the employer! /s
Thing is, it's use cases like this that are hindering adoption of Linux on the desktop, and I feel sad that these points of friction still exist; they shouldn't. <stallman-clone>We need, in part, widespread adoption of free, open source software to help maintain privacy, personal security, and freedom. It's use cases like yours that need to be taken into account and accommodated. Until this happens, and migrating to something like Ubuntu is problem-free and frictionless, our computers aren't free, and we, as a society are less free and more vulnerable to malicious government entities. Also, the era of the cloud as we know it has to end!</stallman-clone>

I see you're new too! Welcome to HN! :-)
My whole economic worldview changed when I read the works of Hernando de Soto Polar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hernando_de_Soto_Polar). He demonstrated that a huge free market economy of honest, legitimate work (like private buses) exists completely outside the law, technically illegal, all over the world. The more restrictive the regulations, the more free enterprise pops up. There are two problems with this. First, those entrepreneurs lack protection of the law, so they are vulnerable to losing their livelihoods due to crime or motion of power. Second, this shadow economy is simply not measured by mainstream economics, so in countries where the shadow economy is large, our perception of their relative economic status is skewed.

It's sobering stuff for a libertarian to read.
If you're concerned about your ability to convince a prospective employer that you're the real deal, that's for you to figure out, isn't it?

The point here is not what you share, but that you have something to share and can present it in a manner that's compelling to your prospective employer. In some cases, that might be nothing more than a well-written, detailed description of what you developed. In others, a picture is worth a thousand words and can a preferable format for somebody who isn't a great writer.

And finally, while I wouldn't be so naive as to argue that "engineering" equals "working on public-facing applications", engineers should consider the risks of roles that do not enable them to work on systems that are "visible" or "close to the money". Obviously, there are some industries and specializations that provide lucrative opportunities that don't do this, so there are exceptions. Not every young engineer, however, can realistically count on being able to build a decades-long career in these industries/roles.
Elon Musk if you count Solar City.
I thought I was Chicken Little buying my first masks (P100 respirators) in January 2020. I bought a couple more fancy ones in Feb. Days later, decent masks disappeared—those had to last me the rest of 2020.
Around November(?), Powecom masks became FDA approved and I've bought plenty through https://bonafidemasks.com. There are coupons floating around (try slickdeals). The headband style ones are a little more $, but provide a better seal. I also like that they have black as an option. FYI I use a BYD surgical masks ($8 for 50 at Costco) on top of these and really try to keep those to single use. Don't forget to use germ-x or whatever after touching the outside of your mask—static electricity is supposed to help particles stick to the outside (hence a fresh surgical for the outside layer).
