Maybe it's me, maybe it's the screen, I can barely spot any dead pixel at the 00:30 mark. But at the end of the video it's very clear. Thanks for pointing it out.
I think this is because of the "default" behaviour pattern. You can rightclick or do a context click on the most systems. Even on smartphones you can hold your finger on the file to get a context menue. This is not the case for cli. There is not global pattern like "context file" or "options file" that works on every cli. There are not a lot of easy common patterns in the cli world. Even for autocomplete you have to change the default shell on the popular systems.
how do you see zanzibar being able to complement kubernetes? what if any integration points will there be? or does ory keto &c intend to provide only application level permissions & access, not ops permissions & access?
They did leave a genetic legacy up north in ancient remains like Anzick-1 and ancient Channel island remains [1]. That legacy simply no longer exists among most remaining native populations in the US and Canada. Moreover, they're still clearly related to North American natives, it's just a more distant relationship. So it's not that North Americans and South/Central Americans descend from different ancestral populations, the population structure is just poorly understood.

It all depends on economics, what you have now doesn't really matter a couple years down the line when the simple progress of time will show if this research has been used and built upon or not. 44+ cores, that's already available for workstations, and with the 4th generation of Threadripper (that's supposed to be shipping this year), that amount of cores is probably going to be even cheaper than it is now. On the other hand, GPUs are absurdly expensive right now as a result of multiple factors (people being home and gaming due to covid, crypto miners, lower supply of parts due to covid), but we'll see in a year.

Also, I'm pretty sure the goal of this research was not that you can train a DNN on your laptop, but that there is more democratization in the distribution of training power. Maybe some day a mid sized organization will be able to train a competitive model on a buch of off the shelf (or rented) servers...
>When the electrodes are inside the brain and thus in the cranium, they are effectively protected from outside EM activity since they're in an effective Faraday cage, so your signal has much higher fidelity.

Pretty much this on a different and somehow related note I would still try to check if the algorithm does not just trick us into thinking that it is doing what the monkey wants it would be nice if they post some more in depth material of how the code or whatever they use looks at the end just to be sure we are not in front of a half machine clever hans (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clever_Hans)

TO clarify: we dont have the ability to know if the monkey made an error he wont say hey I didnt want to get that one right or win that pong movement, have your milkshake back please. And we kind of need to know that in fact when doing mathematical modeling and AI having a way to quantify that is a requirement and one of the first things they teach you about.

Same here. I realized that on some days the only reading I do is from my Pocket queue.
I'll just say that design quality of presentations, especially for startups who need credibility, is extremely important. Powerpoint- while it doesn't do it for you- is the easiest way to look credible without doing all of your slides in Adobe software.

For internal company presentations, perhaps it doesn't make sense to do fancy powerpoints. But if you can't make a presentation that looks credible, it betrays confidence in your ability to deliver on a product/service that is legitimate.
urandom and /dev/random aren't two different CSPRNGs. They aren't really even two different designs. They are two different pools into which the same kinds of raw entropy are mixed; the interface to /dev/random's pool happens to have a weird gate on it that tries to determine how much "entropy" is "left" in the pool. I'm oversimplifying a little, but that's the gist of it.

So the problem here is, if you're on a solid state embedded system that doesn't generate enough entropy to drive urandom, you're not doing enough to drive /dev/random either --- except, owing to a design flaw in Linux, on first-boot-ever, where /dev/random's entropy estimator gate saves from you from the bug that is Linux's willingness to give you output from an unseeded RNG. It shouldn't do that. FreeBSD doesn't. But if you're worried about that problem, the correct fix is to explicitly seed urandom from /dev/random on boot, not to use /dev/random in your code!

Once the CSPRNG is seeded, the idea of a "sufficient amount of entropy" is silly. Think of a CSPRNG as a stream cipher. Think of its output as you would the keystream of that cipher. What does it mean, within reason (ie, not hundreds of terabytes) for a keystream to have "sufficient" key in it? Because that's essentially the same question the maintainer for /dev/random is asking.
Bill Gates is pitching to have foreign aid directed through his charities. It certainly would make more sense for the aid to be directed through organizations with runs on the board and a capable organization.

I think the parent should probably have said 'direct government-to-government foreign aid usually makes things worse'.

Part of the thing Bill Gates is fighting against with his 'myth busting' is the bad reputation foreign aid has got because it goes directly from politician to politician, and not necessarily distributed or managed in accordance with what people know to work.

In my limited experience, I've had more phone spam plus wrong number calls right after changing phone numbers due to the number being recycled.
>$200K after taxes is not that much, especially if you have a house, more than one car, children, student loan debt, want to save, etc.

I understand your point, particularly if you are referencing a high COL area like SV. But this reads as a bit tone deaf when the median salary in the US is a shade under $40k/yr [1]

I think HIBP implements it like this: you hash your email/phone number and send only a prefix of the hash to the server. The server responds with a list of hashes matching the prefix. Now you can check if your hash is in the list. If so, you have been pwned. This way the server never knows which email you are requesting since it only ever sees a part of the hash.
If it was a startup in AI yes

A language ran by one guy to challenge the most popular language ever, epic mistake.
You might like Perl. The syntax to invoke and interact with processes is much more terse than Python's. And there's quite a lot of history of using it instead of shell scripts.

Edit: Things like:

$output=`ls`;

$output=qx#ls -l#;

system('/bin/echo','avoid','subshell','invocation');

open("APIPELINE","ls -l |");
while (<APIPELINE>) {
chomp;
print "Got line: [$_]\n";
}
close(APIPELINE);

And access to child exit status in a way that's familiar ($?), etc.
Any sort of language popularity tally is at least somewhat suspect. People who do this sort of thing systematically try to use a variety of sources and have some sort of formal methodology. But, at the end of the day, you're dependent on public data sources. If development is taking place behind closed doors, questions aren't being asked on stackoverflow or Google, not many books are being purchased, etc. you're going to undercount relative to, say, Javascript.
As in, having them followed by "ghosts" to report back to him what they're doing, like he's doing with the rest of us? :)
It's always worth nothing that Apple played a significant role in creating USB-C. There have been (unproven) "rumors" that Apple invented USB-C, but otherwise a quarter of the engineers listed on the (initial) USB-C spec working group were Apple engineers.
This question made me realize again that I pretty much have anything I need already (in a materialistic way). I only want stuff if it replaces some other broken or old stuff. So I'd like to have a few pair of socks, and maybe a SSD to replace the noisy harddisk in my spare PC. Oh, and a kitchen scissors, the one I now have is worn.
What of the students who can pass the 12th grade standards in 7th grade? Do they take the next 5 years off?
> I don't think it really makes a difference, or will impact the future of war

since the risks of losing your own soldiers is much reduced, you don't think it's more likely to cause war?

>but they do look really fun.

fun? really? i'm a little shocked that you think it's fun. Aren't we talking about people dying here? a lot of innocent civilians die during a war, and that with soldiers on the ground with all the facts.

maybe if we aren't prepared to lose soldiers we shouldn't be there in the first place.
Again, there's no way to contact you personally regarding this really off-topic thread, so I'll reply here.

I'll agree with you that there is an unfortunate rise in the amount of politically charged rhetoric lately, but I really don't care for navel gazing (which I think is a far more unfortunate result of online communities in their adolescence). However, I don't really think that this article "in no way piqued anyone's intellectual curiosity, but instead triggered political feelings." ... I'm not quite sure how "intellectual" curiosity differs from normal curiosity, but can you honestly say that there wasn't a single person who didn't find the article interesting enough to say, 'Hey, what this guy said was interesting! I'd like to investigate this issue further.'

>>Things that are there for the purpose of intellectual intrigue do not have rallying cries for redistribution in bold as their first sentence, for example.

Intellectual intrigue? Was there a thought crime committed here? Joking aside, you can't fault any author for trying to promote their work. Self promotion -- and the prominence of the self promotion -- doesn't say anything about the quality of the content.

>> Also, I've observed the upvote vs. flag mechanism working for several years now. I agree that it does work in general. I posted this because I believe it is somewhat breaking down lately, in the form of political rallying cries reaching the front page.

Again, this is a conversation you and I should be having. It's a great reason to add some sort of way to contact you personally -- there's no reason anyone else should have to read our meta-HN conversation.

That being said -- what does a comment that essentially amounts to a downvote + flag add to the discussion?

- You obviously don't care for the article

- You didn't add anything constructive OR critical

I mean, honestly, I can't believe I've been typing for two minutes about this.
i asked a similar question on another post and also got voted down. my conclusion is that these posts clearly fall within the HN guidelines (at a minimum very relevant to anybody whose current or future web startup relates to content or online shopping) but there are obviously different opinions. i don't see why suggestions that we discuss it get routinely downvoted.

As opposed to this ad that uses PC and Mac??? I don't get your argument when it is basically the same argument inverted. This advert doesn't include prominent Intel branding either - they are fighting for the PC segment.
> I think if one thinks of mapreduce as an operation on sets not lists, it should be obvious that the monoid must be commutative.

If anything, you could think of it as an operation on multisets, but not sets. Sets don't have repeated elements.
>Google? NASA? Tesla?

Google seems to be pushing its own Go more.
NASA is focused on space more than advancing the frontiers of programming.
Tesla, maybe.
Which works well for that one example. But not others.

That's Coors Original. Not much better, but still.
Right, this could grow quickly over a few months at which point you would need to script filter-branch to rewrite older commits with spec/screenshots in a submodule.
> I concentrated on asking lawyers -- legislators, prosecutors, judges, and litigators -- to quit hurting harmless people.

Every person generally thinks they're doing good in the world. They certainly don't think they're hurting harmless people for fun, they honestly think they're protecting other people. You need to understand this if you want to have any hope of getting to root causes.

> If an owner of a Web site has some data they don't want spread around, then they should not put it on their Web site. Just don't do it.

See, this is the exact opposite of the truth - it's quite possible to publish data online and employ access methods to control who can access it. By arguing your case this way, you are undermining yourself - the reason we have a legal system with laws etc because things like murder/robbery/etc are impossible to prevent, so the only thing we can do is punish transgressors. Computers give us the ability to implement absolute restrictions formally. The push to implement ambient-authority retributive laws comes from management types who don't devote want to spend the effort to implement formalized restrictions, and want to cry foul after the fact.
At least they get one job right.
Hardly. They make about 1% of their volume. At 20K volume (about what they see these days), and $120/BTC, That's about $24,000 a day in revenue, half of which is USD. About $4.3M a year in USD. They just had $5M locked up.

They're surviving because they're not letting go of any of the USD they have, or at a trickle. I've heard numbers along the lines of they had $10M in April. They can't pay salaries and infrastructure costs in BTC, so they're holding on to what $ they have for as long as they can. Eventually they'll have to start releasing their BTC into the market to get $ out, but they know that will have a negative effect.
Are data retention policies generally in a site's TOS?

Not that that'd be much better than a PR rep, but it'd be easier to get at least.
The law changed relatively recently. It used to be that 501c3s didn't have to file if they didn't have income.
When he's not "unveiling products" or berating his minions, I always imagined him sitting full-lotus on a tatami mat, alone in an empty room, staring intently at the wall.
Well, sort of. You can still only play music and movies through iTunes, and you can only do it in formats supported by iTunes. You are not allowed to create a third party music or video player, which effectively means that even these things are a lot more closed than they are on the desktop (or android, palm, etc.).
Yes, you are probably right. My comment was aimed at the snobbery over the unwashed masses.
I think I prefer the 2010 version, where I can drive all the way from Half Moon Bay to Stateline, Nevada without being harasssed fifteen times by various services wanting to alert me to things.

Really, the only feature out of all of those mentioned that I'd like to have would be warning about traffic jams, and that's already available on GPSes somewhat more sophisticated than mine.
This tweet was clever, but I couldn't help but cringe when I saw it going around Twitter, giving everyone a healthy dose of misinformation.

BP said fairly early on in the account's popularity (~20k followers is when I read about it) that they wouldn't take action against it. They even said it was a way for people to vent their anger. So it's not just a case of them not taking action; they've acknowledged it openly.

Any PR team worth anything would do the same in this situation. Bad PR teams might take it to Twitter (the account is clearly in violation of Twitter's terms). Only the stupidest, head-up-their-asses teams would let it go to court.

You could win this case easily in the court of law... but you'd lose hard in the court of public opinion.
Good advice for one-man shops. I was in the same situation and came to the same conclusion. Sold ~$200,000 in licenses to my software before sales started slowing down. I promised free lifetime upgrades so lost motivation to do a major new version:

1) I couldn't sell it to my existing customers, they're getting it free

2) Many of the existing customers came from a handful of niche websites where the product/audience fit was great, but their audiences are only so large so I've already sold version 1 (with the free upgrade) to most of them

Eventually I put the product up for sale on Flippa and took $90,000... which if I stopped development is probably all I would have earned over a longer period.

Plus, it's a long term capital gain, so I'll end up paying less tax on the sale versus earning it over time as ordinary income.
OpenTable is nearing a $1 billion market cap.
http://www.google.ca/finance?client=ob&q=NASDAQ:OPEN

I don't see Yelp having the kind of money to buy them.

Is UrbanSpoon making significant progress in this market? I'd assume OpenTable has a significant market lead, and thought most restaurants would work with only one provider.
There's a difference between saying "I don't get it" and saying "after careful analysis and consideration, this artistic expression is either pointlessly obscure in its meaning or absolutely meaningless".
>I strongly don’t think that throughput is what terminal emulators should optimise for: basically no one cares about how quickly you can get a load of text you will ignore. Instead

Saturn is quite bright — you don't need much diameter (aperture) to see the rings. A smallish refractor with the right eyepiece (50x magnification) is enough.
Another comment later identified this - I actually did get a weirdly A-team support response. That's what made me scratch my head because I was coming in the poor / cheap / don't know what they are doing door (and most support is crap user misconfig issues at least from my experience). I just wanted the thing noted somewhere in case others were hitting it, instead I got a way above standard support specific technical response and some suggestions.

The other poster indicated it is possible for stuff like this that you get bumped, even on the el cheapo plan, to someone actually on product team. While I'd hate to be on the product team having to answer these, it perhaps keeps folks aware of customer issues so they can at least improve docs for corner cases?
Nothing stopping you from submitting a PR :)

It would die if the rich people leave. Which is a concern, given the hostile policies of California and the changes brought by COVID. If there was a Shelling point for where these people would go, I think we would be seeing the decline of SV. However people leaving are pretty split between Texas, Pacific Northwest, and some other locales, so I don’t see an exodus momentum truly building up.
For the past few years, I abandoned the ORM and went straight to Stored Procedures using Data Transfer Objects / DAOs. It is no panacea, but has worked well for these reasons:

1. I can grep all of my SQL! No dynamic SQL generation means all SQL statements are known. This alone has been huge to me. Of course it depends on storing the SPs in version control and settling on good naming conventions (eg. always write table.column).
2. The SPs are easily testable and verifiable endpoints to themselves.
3. Small Performance boost of using compiled / validated SQL.
4. No dynamic SQL also means that performance tuning is a snap. I see a bad actor I can track it down easily and fix the problem.

One thing that has made this possible is a convention of naming SPs by tablename_DMLname_[description]. e.g. customer_sel_byemail.
Typical Sci-Fi wormholes have that problem, but there are nevertheless valid GR solutions that look a heckuvalot like wormholes. And they do obey all those conservation laws. One can think of it as the wormhole mouths being objects (made out of space rather than matter) that accumulate and lose conserved quantities like mass and momentum and charge as objects enter or leave them, or you can think of it as lines of force getting stretched out to pass through the wormhole mouths whenever an object moves through them, since the fields can't just shear off.

Incidentally, this generally means that you have to be careful about balancing the mass flow in each direction through your wormhole, lest one mouth develop negative mass (and presumably antigravity) from too much stuff leaving it and the other mouth end up shrouded in a black hole.
Here's an odd question: For a country whose founding principles say "ALL human beings are endowed with inalienable rights...", why is the outcry only over collecting domestic communications? Do the rights not apply to foreigners?

There's a huge amount of social pressure against being so paranoid about whether Google or Facebook might hypothetically decide to do something bad in the future.

Paul Graham has 2 Forbes Reporters On his Payroll. Don't take my word for it, check out the authors of the AirBnB, DropBox and other "Stories" for last 4 years and you'll see who they are.

All those stories portray this magical-overcoming-adversity-and-solving-world-problems tone to it. Plenty of hype that is directed towards future just graduated kids who'll take the bait and apply for 10k shit money from Paul. Not hating, just stating (facts)
