Hi HN!

Perligo[1] is a passion project of mine that came about as a result of my experience during my master's program in creative writing. Much of the program was held online, so our critiques were all managed on discussion forums. It worked...but not well. I wanted writers to have a digital-first critique group solution.

There are other writing critique group apps out there, but most of them are public and require some sort of credit-based system to upload work. With Perligo, it's designed just like a critique group you might join in your local community or like an MFA program's critique group. All groups are private and memberships are invite-only. Group members manage their submission schedule and ensure participation.

Perligo gets out of the way of the community and group building part of the process so that it can focus in on the critiquing portion of the process. I remember having to download six or seven different PDFs to get all of the feedback on my writing during my master's program. And then I'd have to go and scroll through a bunch of disparate, non-grouped comments on a discussion forum to get the general feedback on the story. I wanted to streamline that process with Perligo.

Upload your work, and the group can add line notes. Group members can reply to each line note (i.e. a Highlight) in a thread similar to how we experience threaded messages in Slack. Group members can also add general, long-form feedback in the Conversations tab. And one really powerful components of the app is the ability to toggle feedback on and off. For members who want to provide feedback without the influence of others in their group, they can toggle everyone else's feedback off and focus solely on their critique.

Anyway, I hope you dig it and I can't wait to hear what you all think!

And the study say nothing specific about EV, also if you read the study that is supposed to justify why it ignore diet emission, it doesn't talk at all about a supposed lack of food increase in the face of increased physical effort, but health benefits from eating more legumes and fruits or physical efforts. The study seems pretty poor with the quality of data they have, they should try to understand why people doesn't cycle, with a computed bike or public transportation traject duration, and see if it explains the lack of cycling.
This is how a phd friend of mine answered "how do you actually read so many research papers". He developed a really tuned skimming mode - I'm not sure I could apply the same technique to blogs/website due to less consistent format, writing style, etc.
But is malaria a big enough problem in the arctic to bother targeting the mosquito species there that could carry malaria? From a quick Google search, I'm guessing no.
I understand that you want to offer something that 'beats' varnish, and it shines through in the article.

But I don't think it matters if your cache is better than every other cache. Rather, as long as you offer a convenient, easily implemented cache, built into the webserver, that's great in itself. We're using Passenger on all our production servers and are most satisfied, because of its ease of use.

Perhaps you could just write "this could be accomplished with Varnish, which has a lot of benefits for advanced cases, but we think our cache will be useful for those that prefer not to manage a separate caching tier."
Sorry, never published the URL of this service and really don't want to do it now. To be honest, this is the first time I wrote about it.

One of my goals to 2015 is a better project to publish here.
I actually found Hetzner super reliable, I used it in a previous role and it was great value for money. I have a blog post about setting up and using Hetzner, might be useful! http://scalabilitysolved.com/build-a-kick-ass-couchbase-stac...
Where did you find it? I've always wanted to try it since reading about it in a Jules Verne novel.
The problem is that they are using the Amazon brand to position it. This helps in gaining initial traction, but in the end damages the brand in two ways:

- people do not know what to associate amazon with (it's just a bookstore, right?)

- when they kill off too many project, or too many projects fail, their brand value hurts.

There are other businesses that have many, many product lines, but the most succesful ones (Procter & Gamble, Unilever) almost never use their core brand name and just invent new brands. It makes it more difficult to start, but is better for your brands.
I think as an idea, it's great and there has to be a large market for it.

Of course, I'm in India and I personally might opt for a service like this. There are some startups here but noone of the size and 'integrity' as Amazon.

I'm not sure about the old-school family type people who'd rather go to a local plumber, or carpenter to get their work done.
Perhaps another reason you should be cautious of any 'group' pushing scientific articles to unscientific people: http://www.nature.com/news/stem-cell-pioneer-blamed-media-ba...
I thought having local service providers would be cheaper. So I compared some of their prices with Walmart and Best Buy.

TV Wall Mounting (my won mounting bracket): Amazon: $229, Geek Squad: $149.99

Tire installation Services (2 tires): Amazon: $69, Walmart: $12 each

Car Stereo Installation: Amazon: $120, Best Buy: $64.99

I think there is a large market for local listings (e.g. Angies List, Groupon Local etc) but their prices are way too high.
I wish ad tech wasn't a thing, I wish we hadn't produced so many winner takes all monopolies. I wish the early promise of the web had been more fully realised I guess. I think the kind of idea Tim Berners Lee is promulgating with Solid is the kind of the thing I'd like to see take off. Who knows if the horse has bolted, I guess we shall see....

Im not depressed about it as such, I work in tech and I try to fight the good fight and work on projects I believe will actually help society. I also remind myself that no ideal is ever reachable and everything ends up reflecting its situation ie the Web reflects all aspects of human nature and also the socio economic system of the cultures it is embedded in. Like in politics, we can't realise ultimate ideals but we can muster all our strength to make incremental progress towards them.
> The voices also included white supremacists and neo-fascists. The only people who struggled to be heard, Dr. Friedman said, were “social justice warriors.” They were considered a threat to one of the core beliefs driving the discussion: free speech.

This is an age-old refrain and I am honestly surprised that people keep viewing it as a reasonable position. It's exactly the same line that Parler tried to peddle, along with every online community that eventually - shock horror - turns out to be a platform for hate rather than 'rational' thought.

Free speech is important, and should be defended. When your version of 'free speech' is only extended to alt-right ideals, you're not arguing in good faith for free speech.
> ...how fabulously weird it was, here in a city of millions, that we’d cross paths twice.

I had a very similar experience 2 years ago at CES. I was a couple of rows behind someone on the flight with terrible hygiene, so bad I could smell it.

A couple days later in a convention center, I picked up the same smell. It was so distinct that immediately I knew it was him. I turned, and sure enough, there he was. I couldn't believe it.

Easy as it would be to mock him, it does make me wonder what impression I leave on total strangers.
The damage to her was done by the asshole classmate, though.

The NYT just wrote it up after the fact.

Said write up was awful and the extent to which it made the asshole seem like a hero made me want to stab things, but it's worth blaming the NYT for all the things they did get wrong here and not the one thing they didn't :)
In the list you can see a foreshock happening two days before 9.1 earthquake (Tohoku). Then after that you have a couple of years of aftershocks. Obviously this is not a guarantee "big one" is coming but it's probably good idea to check contingency plans.
Thats exactly what happened with my senior year project. Just look at the spreadsheets to see the processes/data they collect. Fairly ridiculous.
The good news is that law enforcement agencies aren't completely helpless in these cases and are actively developing technology (a la Torpedo†) to infiltrate these sites and prosecute their users.

I don't know about any previous attempts but Cinebook are working on Spirou et Fantasio in English - they're still ongoing but they're not in the original order (the 7 so far are 5 80s Tome & Janry titles followed by two Franquin 50s titles) so who knows how many they plan to do. http://www.cinebook.co.uk/index.php?cPath=182

It's a British English translation but I think any UK/US differences will be fairly small compared to the cultural differences from the original source era. I have books 2 and 5 and to be honest the racial stereotypes in book #2, from 1987, are more troubling than anything I remember in book #5, from 1952!
Doctype is another. And has nothing to do with mark-up validation or schema.

i see some bright lines between indian cities esp mumbai and the gulf region.

btw, i wonder who you are....as you are also a Sundar
In fact, BMW can't show the commercial in regular cinemas because they don't have the equipment to produce the flash. They can't reach mass audience in this way. So the end product is in fact this viral video.
That is basically a crude description of how LCD displays work - polarized layers, one of which can be selectively rotated to control how much light comes through.
VCs may not have had a say - which has become more common, esp after only a single round.

Rackspace don't really do inflated acquisitions - they paid $18M for Slicehost and Jungledisk (combined). Cloudkick raised $2M back in April, so you would think that the price would be more around $15-20M.

Either way, congratulations to the team, RS and to YC. CK is a great product.
I'm working on a project now that will aggregate self-motivated learning online. Watch a lecture on YouTube? (Many universities post them). Get credit for it. Start a discussion with others who also watched it. Ask and answer questions. Find like-minded people and learn with each other, set your own challenges and goals.

That's only half of it, but the core idea is this: We learn online already. Pave the cowpaths. Give people credit for what they already do.

I'm also looking for a co-founder. Anyone interested in this project (suggestions, more info, etc.), I'd love to chat: http://scr.im/michaelhart
They use 1% because number 1 is an integer and it can represent a whole person.

This is useful for scapegoating and hatred.

"The 99% vs. the 1% is the modern articulation of this classic scapegoating mechanism. It is all minus one versus the one. And it has to just be the one. 99.99 people or percent is too granular. Scapegoating 0.1 doesn’t really work. You need a whole person to play the victim. Similarly, 98-2 doesn’t quite have the same ring to it either. "

Can "traditional deep learning methods" replicate the kind of unsupervised learning demonstrated by cortical.io's semantic retina (fox eats rodent example in the video)?
Of all the things to be concerned about in terms of safety, I would rank dying on a transoceanic flight to be pretty far down the list.

I'm certain I could come up with a list of 100 (500?) Risks that were more likely to impact my life.
I forgot software architect too
The first computer I owned was an A500. In a box somewhere, I think there are all four of the 1.1 Rom Kernel Manuals...the ones sold in bookstores even after Amiga OS2.0 was well established.

Amiga OS was strongly influenced by Unix. That's what allowed all those ports of Unix commands to fill the FredFish disks. In a sense the Amiga was what a company needed to do when buying a Super Bowl launch ad spot isn't on the table. The Amiga 1000 was beautifully engineered but aesthetics were low enough on the priority list that the sidecar made it to market.

One could make a case that all that Rexx integration was a waste of effort: The Amiga died for just about everyone but a few hardcores and software like Photoshop lives on. The ball of mud is the most successful software architecture by volume.
Tylenol is widely considered a safe drug even though overdose of 4x the normal dose is near certain death. You do have to watch out for these things.

In this case, medication tends to report silly things as side effects because they report every single thing the patients are experiencing. There's no frequency of reports here, but it could be just a few reports with no causation established.
> “COBOL doesn’t present any security problems because it doesn’t really talk to any resources,” Malik said. “It just says ‘read’ or ‘write.’”

Well, in a world where "talking to resources" is most of what we want software to do, that doesn't sound great, frankly. You can see how that would cause problems with people who are trying to use a website to interface with an unemployment system written in COBOL, which is the example the article leads off with.
Roughly speaking: it's the old, the poor, the uneducated, and the rural.

That's not terribly surprising.
This is really scary but hardly surprising!
Before the internet bbs boards existed. Calling a board was a different experience.

Playing games on computers didn't require an internet connection. Often you traded disks.

Having no internet opens up the possibilities the computer can do. You start exploring and using more of it.
You assume you'll have a choice.
See this from Sep, 2019: https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2019/09/12/new-insta...

"Facebook confirmed to me that the vulnerability was genuine, that the exploit would enable a “bad actor” to connect phone numbers and user details, and that it has prompted changes to be made. They pointed out to me that the exploit process is “complex,” but nonetheless did leave the platform open to abuse and put users at risk."
And Marlinspike advising MobileCoin isn't the same as Signal developers actually integrating it.
Not endorsing the super parent comment's outrageous conclusions, but...

I'm not sure I follow. I grew up in Lahore, and there is an absence of women out of specific market places where they feel safe to go to. This is anecdotal, but if you walk from one point in a city, even Karachi, to another, you'll encounter far more men than women.

Additionally, Pakistani culture conflates honor with literally the "veil" (_pardah_)[0]. When the motorway rape happened the Lahore Capital City Police Officer put the blame on the victim for "travelling late at night without her husband's permission".[1]

I'm just saying, there really is an "absence of women" and the reasons are cultural associations with honor and decency. Acknowledging the problem is a step towards fixing it.

It happens in the left-wing as well. Reddit used to be a place where left-wing and right-wing could discuss stuff but then the left-wing got so hostile at "right-wingers" that they started banning them. So the right-wing people left and simply made their own communities off reddit. Well guess what happens next? Rampant conspiracy theories, more violent rhetoric and so on. So the right wing becomes more radicalized.

For this Jan 6th march, I saw many people on right wing websites saying they wanted to fight BLM/ANTIFA people and give them the beat down basically.
The only working solution I’ve seen is using Docker container with Jupyter Lab and all the dependencies installed. I hate pulling those huge images on my 256GB MBP, but it works.
Of course, only bigger labs do that, since individual researchers are often unfamiliar with Docker.

However, if I run my software on HPC cluster, that’s no longer an option. The HPC at my university doesn’t allow running Docker, only Singularity containers(which isn’t supported on Mac).
No need for using the term "fake news". Noone posted any news, nor are they fake.

It's not about possible access of classified information, but the now unknown state of the devices and systems.

Physical barriers, like a guarded entry, produce a zone of trust. People are searched for weapons on entries to somewhat guarantee that no weapons are inside. Once the entry is un-guarded, the trust level is 0% and needs to rebuild.
violating their terms of service, presumably.

However, it's a private site & they don't need to justify their giving service or not.
I dunno, I was friends in college with someone who moderated a subreddit whose head mod was univesally hated to the point where a rival subreddit formed and eventually outpaced the original.

I have to say from everything I heard about the guy, and my own rare interactions with him, the hatred of him was 100% justified. Some people are just very shitty and lack any sympathizers.
I managed to get people on Telegram by showing Stickers and public groups you can join without sharing your number.

Signal is much harder to sell to non-tech users IMHO.
Do you have an source for that claim. I am in Europe and have never heard that. The closest I know of is right wing groups using Telegramm for their Anti-Covid agitation.
Not only have those things not happened but you are the one choosing that they are wrong for your own agenda. There has been no court packing and while you may choose to believe that Puerto Rico doesn’t deserve statehood for partisan reasons i and many other reject that idea. I am not taking what you’ve said outside of context. You are quite clearly advocating not just against the rule of law but also against the democratic process. Good luck.
It might well be superior when released, but will it continue to support everything, or will it sit around with no updates and miss out on new features, or simply stop working and have no one notice?
That's an interesting point. Interesting, because upon seeing their "new" design I went "Hmm, I'll bet it was Buy Now, that has negative connotations."

But then again, I don't know anything about design so I purposely ignore it... My sense of asthetics is esoteric at best.

So perhaps i was just being cynical.
There are lots of books that aren't on the reading list.

Are they all "banned"?
It requires only a very short program to print out all possible books, and a much longer program to print out one particular book.

To look at it another way, by the trivial isomorphism between any class and its complement, the library containing all possible books has just as much information as the library containing no books.
We're extrapolating market capitalization into the future within a model. If we applied a similar model for the rest of the top 25 corporations by market cap on the S&P 500, we probably find that the iphone won't be worth more than all but 8 companies. This is given the model is accurate, and the pricing method is accurate of the iphone is accurate.
We use digicert and have been super happy with them.
I've just recently returned to an idea I had started developing 12 years ago, but I hadn't look at it for 11 years because the technology wasn't ready yet. With the introduction of reliable cheap touch screens, that has changed.

Your comment regarding 'variables that would be difficult to delegate' makes alarm bells ring for me.

I am BRUTAL at delegating. For years, it came up as an issue with employers until I made a significant effort to delegate to other people.

I don't know what you're building, so can't say absolutely, but if delegating is an issue, I'd write out what the ABSOLUTE KEY bits of technology are, and figure out what YOU don't need to be developing. Nobody can do it all alone. It's a lesson I'm still trying to learn. Working 10+ years alone makes me think that either a) you aren't delegating enough and are trying to do too much on your own or b) you are trying to build the perfect and complete product before you really know that a market exists.

Don't aim for perfection, get your product out there.
Um, the ISS is moving at around Mach 24 right now, so I'd imagine most satellites used for spying are already doing a similar speed, and they have no issues snapping pretty high resolution pics.

I don't think this would be a concern for an aircraft doing a similar (or much more practical, slower) speed.
I think you've nailed it. Bill Maher asked the media '[C]ould you please stop pitting the ignorant vs. the educated and framing it as a "debate."' Acknowledging ignorant views and handling those who hold them with kids gloves is just another of many possible paths to Idiocracy.
Distribution of update authority doesn't require decentralization of the namespace itself. As long as the independent authorities can agree on what constitutes a valid update (say by requiring the domain-owner's signature), they'll stay consistent. Meanwhile a corrupted authority will only affect its own clients.
there's something to be said about the elegance of short-running C programs with no deallocation, using the OS to properly relinquish memory
When you send packets of data out of your phone, there are several layers that are added onto your IP packet. Here is a basic diagram of the different nodes in the RAN and CN and which layers they operate on:

UE<->NodeB (Uu): <your data> | PDCP | RLC | MAC | <L1 radio stuff>

NodeB<->RNC (Iub): <your data> | PDCP | RLC | MAC | FP | <L2 stuff depending on IP/ATM/etc>

RNC <-> SGSN (Iu): <your data> | GTP | UDP | IP | <L2 stuff>

SGSN <-> GGSN (Gn): <your data> | GTP | UDP | IP | <L2 stuff>

GGSN <-> Internet (Gi): <your data> (finally!)

At some points your data's UDP/TCP headers might be compressed/uncompressed but thats the basic idea. Something needs to perform the functions performed by all these nodes. "Traditionally" the femtocell is a combination of the RNC/NodeB (aka the Radio Access Network).

Clearly it is possible to add core network functionality to the femtocell, but not only is it probably not worth it, the security implications are tricky (you would have to expose your HLR directly to the internet to be able to talk to the femtocell - instead of just your SGSN, which you would likely have special CN nodes for talking to femtocells).

So it is almost guaranteed to be the former. And it makes AT&T's recommendations make alot more sense. You don't even need to assume any malice in them.
I ~love~ REST!

People who don't know anything about building distributed systems hop on the REST bandwagon and before you know it they've got a monstrosity that doesn't work.

I come in as a $150 an hour consultant, explain really clearly that it's ~very~ hard to get business rules and transactions working right in a REST situation, re-architect the system with POX RPC and get it working.

When I see blog entries about the "finer points of REST" I hear ka-ching, ka-ching, ka-ching!
I think you have hit my main point. Objective-C feels too heavyweight for (typically) small iOs apps.
