I'm a big fan of Adafruit and the Pi, and I recently bought one of these "CyberDeck" add ons, but I'm annoyed that Adafruit chose to appropriate a generic term, cyberdeck, as the product name. This happens all the time, such as when IBM named their personal computer "The IBM Personal Computer" and what had once been a generic term became a specific product reference. Microsoft did this with "Windows", Intel did it with "Core", and more recently Musk did it with "Starship". Doing this muddies up the use of the generic term and can require extra effort to disambiguate (more so when speaking than in writing). I tend to see these choices as a mix of arrogance and a lack of imagination.
Without being able to search by my unique identifier (i.e. my profile is facebook.com/IDENTIFER) because there are more than ten people with my name this tool is useless. Shame.
Or not log into a Google account at all and use F-Droid/side load any applications you need.
Do US servers make more than Australian servers? Australia with a minimum wage of around $17 USD compared with US average of around $7.50 USD.

What is the average wage:tips ratio for US servers?
While AMD's software is historically trash, they do have a track record many years long now of publishing ISA / microcode documentation, which is still a step ahead of FPGA vendors (as far as I know, all known bitstream formats are reverse engineered, not first-party documented).
It also implies that parents with modest incomes who scrimp and save for college tuition for their kids are kinda punished for it.
Could you recommend historical exemplars of this philosophy?
Does anyone else recoil when they read the work "toxins" as it pertains to our health? The word has been so overused as to have lost its meaning.

While our solution is different than the current industry standard in A/B testing platforms, all the techniques we are using have been around in the statistics literature for decades, and are tried and true. The particular sequential test of power one that we use has been around since the 1970s and goes back to the time of Herbert Robbins. And FDR control has been well documented in the past 25 years, most notably by Yoav Benjamini, and Yosef Hochberg. We really are standing on the shoulders of giants.

I think our biggest contribution is presenting a principled, powerful mathematical solution in a way that is accessible to practitioners without a formal statistical background. Even if you do have this knowledge, it’s a chance to use these methods without having to reinvent the wheel every time.

There are various methods which could have been used as solutions, and we looked at many different ones to determine a fit to the user model and experience Optimizely is presenting. We are currently doing an AMA on our community portal and I would be happy to discuss potential solutions or any other comments with you there, https://community.optimizely.com/t5/Product-What-s-New/Ask-m...
> Don't confuse FB ads with adwords or direct response banner advertising. It is not. People who treat it this way are the same people who complain it doesn't work.

I'm not. My company has gone through no less than 3 different marketing agencies that believed they could "do social right", and we've given it our own go internally as well. None succeed in doing anything but getting more likes on our FB page and draining our marketing budget. People simply did not click through to the website nor convert into purchases. After FB's algorithm change to synthetic feeds, well, it got even worse.

You might say "well, you've used the wrong social marketing company!"... and that's exactly what they all said when they pitched us.

Our story is not unique. Perhaps it depends on the types of products, etc, but there have been some very high profile mega-corps that very publicly yanked their FB ad support citing similar reasons.

Adwords and other direct banner adverts, on the other hand, do work, and they work very well. One possibility they work so well is the user is already looking for a product that is then pitched to them, ie. browsing a how-to forum and then gets presented with products that the how-to uses.

They are very different beasts.
"dog" is in the company column - "Dognost" and "Dognosis"
Logically not equivalent, for sure. Practically, in most cases they would both say the same thing. We're not just talking about household though, surely some individuals have Sky accounts too and looking past that particular ISP if you're asking for unblocking from your mobile then there's a good chance that you're viewing porn - it's probably an equally veritable indicator as that your mobile visited a porn site.

I'm going to go with 99.9% accuracy as my first guess.
You can construct a regular expression / state machine for these fairly easily.

Let X be the number we have seen so far.

State A: X mod 3 = 0
State B: X mod 3 = 1
State C: X mod 3 = 2

We'll need a separate start state if you swing that way.

Now, observe what happens if we have interpreted a binary number and then suddenly stick a 0 at the end of it. It gets multiplied by 2. Not shocking. If we stick a 1 at the end of it, it gets multiplied by 2 and one gets added. Still not that hard.

OK, I'm going to rename our states now. Instead of X, we're going to describe them in terms of k. k is some positive integer which is a multiple of 3 -- we don't care which.

A: k + 0
B: k + 1
C: k + 2

Now, if we multiple k by 2, we get 2k, which we know is also going to be divisible by 3 because k is. So a 0 transitions A to A.

If we multiply k by 2 and add 1, we get 2k + 1. 2k + 1 % 3 = 1, because 2k is evenly divisible by 3. So a 1 transitions A to B.

The next four transitions are left as an exercise for the reader -- they're pretty trivial.

You can use this same general pattern to construct any "divides by N" state machine.

Going from a state machine to a regular expression (particularly the smallest possible regular expression) is a bit trickier.
I notice that they still have data gathering systems in house. They are using the cloud servers for content distribution. I suspect even the processing is light: authenticate the user (redirection referrer), determine device parameters, start pumping bytes.
I'm not religious but this seems like prayer, where you repeat with similar frequency some ideas. Unlike established religion, here you can pick the subject you want to transfer to your mind as new habits of thought.
Nice! I will check this book.
The point was exactly that YouTube, which had a simpler problem to solve at around the same time (or earlier) did it properly.

There do exist independent youtube clients (though not as many as Twitters's), but using the encoding they did, youtube has made it so that it is never going to be an issue, whereas for twitter it has already been a significant issue twice (that I'm aware of).

It's very easy to dismiss sound engineering in retrospect as luck or as "how could anyone have known".
But don’t you know that creating historical documents is not the task of filthy profit-oriented corporations but of the pure German government?
I'd estimate that about half the people I know in Sweden and in Norway, under 35, don't actually have a drivers license. And of those half again have no real intention of getting one.
As I recall, Meyer also recommends voidstars for generic collection implementations to deal with template bloat.
Because the author made the same mistake so many Wordpress users do which is going absolutely crazy with add-ons. I managed to get the page to load after about 3 minutes and I can count at least 8-9 add-ons he is using that are sucking up tons of server resources. The owner of this blog would be extremely well served by removing unnecessary add-ons and installing something like WP Super Cache to serve content significantly faster and lower the server load.

For security he might want to relocate the admin login URL as well since he still has it set to /wp-admin/ .
The computer's were important not just for calculating the shape of the airframe, but how to fly the damn thing. You could in theory calculate the F-117 (but not the B2's) frame by hand. But flying the F-117 -or any stealth airframe - requires computer guidance.

In act, the prototype (Have Blue) just recycled some extra flight computers from the F-16 (which is unstable in one axis... the F-117 is unstable in all three).
nah, it's still big and dumb model with no idea what it's doing, deepfake 2.0.

It looks like a variation on plain old image search engine, unreliable at that, as compared to exact matching.

But it has obvious application in design as it can create these interesting combinations of objects & styles. And I loved the snail-harp.
This brings up memories from 7 years ago. While in Uni, we had a homework: "Searching in an infinite space using Prolog".

Unfortunately, the comments are in my native language, but the assignment was to search for a box in an infinite space and bring it back to (0, 0).

It was fun: https://github.com/mateioprea/Searching-In-An-Infinite-Space...

I use rimuhosting.com and rackspacecloud.com, happy with both.
Are SSL certificates internationally recognized? In other words, if I have users coming from both the US as well as a variety of other nations, will SSL certificates be recognized regardless of the user's origin, or is there such a thing as an international SSL certificate?
Yeah, it's pretty wild. And Dearborn is one of the "better" areas.
Some parts of the city look like scenes from a Mad Max film. Everything is either foreclosed, empty, or burned.

You know, someone with a little money in their pocket come buy up half of the Detroit area; however, what would they do with it?
I used to work for one of the companies who bought in early (they're top left somewhere :). Not sure it brought us much, if anything, though it did get the company logo on TV a few times when it was picked up by the news.
The guy made a million dollars. You know, I had an idea like that once. A long time ago...
The growing number of elementary particles reminds me of the epicycles-upon-epicycles in the Ptolemaic system of astronomy. The question is when are we going to have our "Newton moment" and figure out that they're all just manifestations of one elementary particle or string or something else?
Yeah, no phone support is a fail. Use amazon or paypal. Mind you, I've heard similar stories from both of those.
This vehicle, of which Tesla expects to sell at $39k the cheapest model containing $33k of batteries, has definitely been mass-produced.
Explain the mechanism by which people who invest can exercise their rights as stakeholders, receive dividends etc? Who's to enforce they actually own anything? What's stopping this project from taking all the money and producing nothing (which is exactly what happened with pretty much every ICO out there)?
My bad. Issue occurs in FF mobile preview and not latest non preview FF mobile, so it's probably not your problem. I filed a bug report with Mozilla.
I had those problems in the past but I don’t think I’ve had a problem with self checkout in the last couple years. Granted, all my experiences are at Walmart so maybe they have figured it out. In addition, the whole process is quick and painless. I scan a QR code with the Walmart app when I get to the self checkout, scan my items, press done, and leave.

Also, the Scan and Go system they have at Sam’s Club is awesome. I can scan items on my phone as I’m shopping. When I’m done, I tap purchase, and then walk out with my stuff.
Technology can't oppress you - only persons can.

If you're free from State coercion and can exercise of your natural rights, how can AI hurt you?

In the first story, what's really interesting but CD ignores, is the hows and whys of the apparent slavery. Instead of focusing on that, he deep-dives into the minutiae of the UI.

Who cares if it's AI-related or not? Would they be better off if they were forced to create Creative Commons-licensed content or assemble solar panels?
Biometrics are not usernames or passwords. They are a separate thing that has some similarly to both. A unique key is likewise neither a username nor a password but could act as both in the right circumstance.

The discussion of biometrics is not advanced by parroting this hollow statement again and again. Please stop. There are compelling arguments why biometrics can be problematic. “It’s username not a password” is neither compelling nor truthful.
They care about it because

a) it’s basically Google Search just with a visual representation

and

b) the closest the West has to a ‘Super App’ (book hotels/restaurants/movie tickets etc straight from Maps)
Why is Eastern Europe so ubiquitously homophobic in your view?
I appreciate very much for the summary, thank you!
For one, I haven't heard about Planet Money before. You summary gave me context what the post is about and I subscribed to the podcast because of your reply. I bet many others would find it useful too. Thanks again!
At $40,000, it's still a luxury vehicle. It's exactly as conspicuous as a Hummer.
I believe Darwin shelved his findings for years specifically because he didn’t want the hassle of picking the fight he ended up picking, and only published when he found out that Wallace was about to do so himself.

Edit: As per Galileo not actually being persecuted because heliocentrism itself was heretical, Slate Star Codex actually addresses this argument somewhat: https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/10/23/kolmogorov-complicity-...
Homeopathy: see "Water Memory Due to Chains of Nano-Pearls" (https://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=...)
On a slightly different note, this is superb journalism. This is what keeps me reading New York Times.
If uber gets kicked out, the rest of its modern competitors will follow (Uber is big enough to litigate succesfully, but not all are), and you'll be back to the black cabs.

90% of the time, uber is being kicked not because of any concern for safety, but because of traditional taxi company lobbying.

How about starting with making a plug in app first before rushing to legislate imaginary problems which are by definition poorly understood?

It brings to mind the cloning bans based on Hollywood logic where they assume clones have all memories and the same exact scars and birthmarks.
This is a good question. Everyone aspires to have a good test suite but if you are building an MVP with limited time and resources you can get by using a service like https://sentry.io/

It will email you a stack trace whenever an error occurs and also keeps a log of them which you can order by frequency and so on. It's an extremely useful service.

When you get bigger and have regular users and need stability then tests start to become important so that you don't break existing things when rolling out new features.

Not having tests comes with a risk though. For example, I once broke our registration flow and didn't know about it for a week. Flipside is we hardly had any users registering at that point. So it's probably a good idea to cover a few of your core user journeys. Hope that helps!
I like a lot how G. B. Shaw phrased this insight: "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world. The unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man."

However, from the perspective of the reasonable man, things look differently: Only a small minority of 'unreasonable men' actually manage to change the world. So it is rational to be doubtful if someone's novel idea contradicts widely shared assumptions.
One of the most valuable things which I learnt was how to tie shoe laces using Ian Knot - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgSwvDkJVxE

Saved me incredible amount of mental harrassment which I used to get when shoe laces used to get unwound which I used to brisk walk.

Life is good after learning it.
> I’m yet to hear him explicitly incite violence

After a mob has killed a police officer, he said “we love you, you are patriots” ... half-hearted “go home” does not minimize a full throated “the election was stolen from us”.

If people are rioting over X, and you say “wow, X is really bad!” - is that not encouragement?

What, in your mind, is inciting violence? Iirc, he told supporters to punch protesters during the 2016 campaign, no?
Let's all do that O_o
I feel like kinda sorry for people who have to work 8 hours from an office they don't control. I sympathize with those who voluntarily do that, but i think it should be a sort of labour right to work flexibly when possible
You're getting a lot of unsolicited advice here, from folks who mean well but all of us here can't know the particulars of your situation.

That you're posting this on HN suggests that you would really like to have someone to talk to about this, at the very least to feel heard about it.

From personal experience, consider a therapist for a while - starting just on your own. There's nothing wrong with you, but you're in a sticky situation and are unhappy, and you're worried about the implications for your daughter and your own longevity. It can be really nice to have someone to talk through this stuff with, especially when it might be tough to talk with your wife about it, at least at this point, if she's causing the problem. I don't know about you, but it helps me mentally figure out what to do when I can talk about it, and (good) therapists are good at pulling our thoughts out and letting us think about all the angles.

It's pretty low stakes, and while they do cost some money, it's not a ton (compared to the horses!). And it can really help you think through the particulars of your situation over time, which it's tough for any of us here on HN to do, and when it's time to do the tough stuff - like broaching the subject with your wife - you have got someone in the therapist who knows the background and can help you deal with any fallout.

Good luck. You deserve a happy life. Your daughter deserves a good future. We only get one shot at this.
How much do you make?

Many of the postings I see are $250k+. That's like 3x what I make.

There is also a Russian version of this story, but it is about an expert sysadmin who knew exactly which point on the server box had to be hit with a hammer to fix an issue.

I'm looking for a separation of concerns, separating my submissions as me, finding things or writing things, from my curating activities of finding duplicates and cross-referencing, wherein I try to prevent the repetition of discussion across effectively identical submissions.

I'm also using it as an opportunity to put into practice some of the things I've learned about semantic analysis, Bayesian filters, and automated web interactions.

It's an experiment. It probably won't last long.
Google's competitors are getting a thing of great value at no cost. That's what a donation is.
I've been here before. They're pretty sturdy to walk on and there were quite a few in the area going into town.

One thing that I found interesting was the only bridge that had trouble was it's parent tree on one side of the bridge was hit by the monsoons in the area. The area has one of the highest amount of rainfall in the world.

The area is pretty remote still. I was there 3 years ago and as I was walking on my path I realized the road I was walking on had been built the week before.
nobody buys drugs in a dark alley. people buy drugs in parked cars or living rooms.
I think it would be interesting to make a "voluntary prison" where anyone can go inside and receive free recreational drugs, meals and housing, but they have to have a clean pee test to get out.

If people want to lay around doing clean heroin, watching TV and hanging out with other addicts, give them a safe space to do so with minimal drain on the rest of society. Attach a minimum wage wavier so manufacturers could set up low skill jobs within, and addicts can save up for when they want to leave. Concentrate drug treatment, health, social and educational programs for economies of scale. Tie dose dispensation to biometric data to prevent people from receiving OD-levels of drugs, but allow them to slowly ratchet up if they wish to do so as tolerance builds. I'd imagine this could achieve a net-savings in cost of anti-drug programs and policing, and could be funded by cities which want to export their derelict addicts.

It would be an ugly business, but I think with proper considerations it could be more empathetic than current drug policy.
Why doesn't Netflix support Switch? If you can't answer I will accept Nintendo politics as the answer.
Lubuntu is using LXQT these days right? I'm running it on arch, but by default that DE should support menu searching out of the box, and if it doesn't I expect it's been configured out for some reason. Definitely worth playing around to bring it back.
Yes they affect them, not all in a negative way.
Agreed, it's certainly not novel. Although I personally find it interesting to see the source code behind these solutions and how the pieces are glued together.
A friend of mine created a nicely organized database of xkcd strips to help teachers find subject-appropriate examples:

How so? What changes have actually happened because of the leaks that happened? We'd all forgotten within a week.
First false charge on CEO of WikiLeak then attack on it, what is going on.

Nobody has right to speak truth until that is verified by US.
Anyone knows what's the point of stalling those "leakage"? It's becoming quite annoying for me: all those newses about what it is going to be about or newses about DOS attack. Why can't they just publish it already? Or maybe they should setup wikileaksleaks.org for leaks about wiki leaks...
Thanks, I assumed it would have been for a pragmatic reason
This is why I like to walk to work. It's not possible for everyone; I understand. If you can do it, and don't bring along any devices, you have forced yourself into thinking time. This is usually when I have my best ideas.

I think the important point isn't to compare our situations currently to 'Wage Slavery' but to acknowledge the history.

As a people, we have descended from serfs, slaves, and wage slaves. Wage slavery was a competing strategy for emerging industrialists, and a much more efficient one since they did not have to feed and house their wage slaves the way Chattel slave owners had to. ( Indeed, this was the argument the Southern slave owners used in favor of Slavery in the south. At least they took care of their property. The northern industrialists did not.)

So, we have descended from wage slaves. And the only reason we are much better off is because of the sacrifices made by other wage slaves who organized to fight for better working conditions.

Things like, you know.. the weekend, the 8 hour day, holidays.
I think it’s a stretch to say that Jobs is “deciding what content people can view on the iPhone and iPad.”

That made me stop reading the article right away.
if '\0' was a legitimate member, it was not a string, it was a character/byte array, probably of fixed size.
I've always liked HTML based presentation tools, but never really used them for any "commercial" presentations because of one issue or another (probably mostly fear it wouldn't work as planned). With Slippy I could see that changing, it works great and seems very polished.
