What does that even mean?

Algorithms and logical constructs like computer code aren't patentable under US law if that's what you're talking about.
For me, a good way to think about it is to first inquire what is art, what is work of art, and what is the art product. The book "Art as Experience" helped me immensely.

I see art as experience that stands out from a daily experience because of its intensity and refinement. And work of art as the process of creation of the art product.

Usually, context around the art product is an important part of experience. So if we remove the object out of its context (city, creation, people, usage of it if it is a building for example..) and transport it globally to some museum the art is diminished. Sure we can write stuff next to the art product but it is not the same. What you can directly experience is just an observation of the craftsmanship, other things you have to imagine.

So if you were around the folks who are creating algorithms for computer generated art you would experience the end product much more intensely since you would directly experience the process of refinement, context, motivations and so on.
FDA clearance is a real pain. I spent some time at a medical device manufacturer and saw very long cycles from R&D to FDA clearance.

I see their point about the high average cost of most medical devices, but I'm interested in why they started out with an infusion pump... that market is pretty competitive, even in the low-cost segment.
First part of this you can do with the Zeo - They have programming API's that allow you to use a port on the Zeo for real-time data access. The rest of your requirements are up to you to provide!
As a developer who uses vim I can confirm that the vast majority of my time is spent in the shell, running scripts, working with vcs etc. It's the equivalent of my 'IDE'. At least three other developers I currently work with have a similar setup, so I'm fairly sure its not just me.
The post seems to focus on B2B (e.g. what category does entertainment fall into?)
OT: How did they change the color of highlighted text? I've never seen that effect before!

Edit:

Found it in case someone else was interested:

/* Mozilla based browsers */
::-moz-selection{background-color:#e12000;color:#fff;}
/* Works in Safari */
::selection{background-color:#e12000;color:#fff;}
Is it just me or could this article have been just as effective as 3 sentences?
On the way out of the house this morning I heard that "the Federal Government will continue to operate until March".
Why should a group of banks in collusion with the government have the right to get very wealthy by creating money and forcing me to accept it and use it?

To get an idea of the wealth involved, consider that most homes are purchased with borrowed money. Over the course of thirty years, the interest payments on the loans are two to three times greater than the cost of the homes themselves. Now consider that it cost the banks almost nothing to make the loan. They literally created most of the money at the time of the loan.

Thomas Edison said: People who will not turn a shovel full of dirt on the project (Muscle Shoals Dam) nor contribute a pound of material, will collect more money from the United States than will the People who supply all the material and do all the work. This is the terrible thing about interest.
Fortunately my kids grew up with access to high quality fta tv and streaming app from a public broadcaster (ABC Kids in Australia) which draws on educational consultants, great performers, writers, animators etc. I don't understand why anyone would want to put their kids in front of some random crap instead of the Wiggles or Bluey if they have the option.

Kids spend way too much time in front of tv. It is just a fact with our lifestyles. So you might as well invest some money in it as a nation and make sure it is high quality.
This is exactly it. Cryptocoins aren't actually used in any practical sense for the vast majority of transactions (beyond the black market). It's all a gambling racket/ponzi scheme that has simply gotten big enough for larger players to want to get in on the action. That doesn't make it legitimate in its utility, it just means that it's not regulated enough for people to not be taken advantage of. Going to be bizarre seeing the fallout when bitcoin eventually collapses after it stabilizes in cost and all the people buying in on the hype dry up and start selling after seeing it not going up after several years.
This is a solved problem tho, timeout / retry / circuit breakers / fallback etc.

See - https://github.com/resilience4j/resilience4j
I think you could investigate offering a free open source version to the wider develop community to help them experiment and use the tool before committing to purchase it.

Then later on, plan on adding paid add-on features and professional support, etc.

I have no idea what this means. We're making up identities so quickly it's hard to even keep up with the jargon.
A example of how irrational hate can make smart people do stupid things, unfortunately.

Certain people on their team don't like the PGP standard despite the fact that it is mature, standardized, and proven to work well for code signing. When questioned about their reasoning, they'd usually deflect and criticize some aspect of PGP that is irrelevant to code signing at all.

In their minds, they believe it is better to rely on git's broken SHA1 fingerprints than to use PGP.

Oh I get it, I didn’t think your motivations were wrong, just that your message wasn’t going to deliver the way you probably thought it would.

The reason I responded was to let you know that so that you could decide if you wanted to adjust your approach or not with more complete information in the future.
Actel was acquired by Microsemi that was acquired by Microchip.
Crappy analogy. There is a huge difference between being able to shut down some power generation that is a drop in the bucket on a grid vs overloading some equipment and killing people.

One is life and death, another is lost revenue for a power plant.

The Economist is always published on Saturday, and is regularly linked on HN.

I think more likely they timed their launch to coincide with the Economist article and then someone unrelated just happened to link the article just before their intended date.
I solved mine with pushups and light curls, just any physical strengthening task should help. It got so bad one time that I had to stop working at times, just exercising a few days a week and I don't even notice it at times.
Some of the larger whale boats in my area (CA) are very loud, and I can hear their droning miles away when I'm kayaking - there's dozens of these boats. They cooperate with each other to find the whales, so I assume it's a constant pestering presence. I think it might be more reasonable if they were restricted to weekends only.

It was eerily peaceful out on the water for the several months the whale boats were shut down due to covid.
There isn't any difference, of course -- other than perhaps giving control of the keys to the kingdom to some Silicon Valley startup!

I was deploying cellular devices (from Digi and, later, Opengear) at power substations in rural areas to tunnel RS-232 serial in IP over IPSec over cellular connections a decade or more ago -- and it's not like I was the first one to do it.

Teleport is a YC company, though, which is probably the biggest reason so much of their marketing^Wblog posts show up here.
With no courage to voice a concern, it's your problem to be strangled by such limitations or there's actually a valid concern that you're not aware of.
Why would you terrorize your own workforce and pillage your own assets ?

Feudalism was largely rooted in the Late Roman fiscal system that incentivized industrialized agriculture with large estates and self-sufficient villas in Gaul and Britain. When imperial authority failed they became political forces, and the regional military forces started acting out as peace-breaker and eventually became sovereign polities (the so-called barbarian kingdoms).

Nowadays historians have become increasingly suspicious of Late Roman land-owners, as there are quite a few known cases of families switching from seemingly Latin names to seemingly Germanic ones.

The Medieval castle's just a villa with a military streak. The purpose isn't as much pillaging the direct surroundings as it is to protect your assets from the next land-owner over.
Aaron, thank you for all the advice with Canopy back a few years ago. It meant a lot and still does and I wish you all the best in your next steps!
So the question isn't how do we get people to eat less food and exercise more, it's how do we get them to want less food and want to exercise? How can we turn the overestimators into underestimators?
Have you ever considered just saying 'A record' instead of 'Apex record' so the majority of people know what you're talking about? Not all of us are DNS wonks.
What seems to be happening is that Silicon Valley wages are flat or down (relative to 1998) but the rest of the country is improving. There actually is good news here, though it might seem otherwise if one takes a Valley-centric approach.

In 1998, software engineers in the Midwest generally didn't make six figures. $70,000 was a strong salary for a mid-career (5-10 years) engineer. The $100-140k figures were limited to the Bay Area and New York (around Wall Street) and possibly Chicago (also finance).

In 2014, engineers in the Bay Area have lost ground relative to the housing market, and have lost social position relative to well-connected "serial founders" and investors... but on the other hand, you can now work in any of the top ~20 hubs and make 80-95% of what you'd make in the Bay Area.
Of course it’s not a coincidence. Car companies were one of the first places where it was reasonable to do computer-aided design, back when computers were rare and expensive.
The Verizon vuln referenced above seems has nothing to do with SS7. Femtocell is rooted, and only cell phones in a close proximity are vulnerable. I thought the presentation in Hannover deals with a much broader issue. And yes, femtocell may be potentially a gateway to the remote hacking of MSC, HLR, etc. Unfortunately I have not seen the presentation, so I can't be sure what it's about.
>It's junk food ADHD content

ADHD isn't an adjective.
The same reason that they lost in the computing space originally, which was the point of the article. I also don't buy that android is fragmented, I've read that story as well as the stories where people were whispering about fragmentation before the first devices were even released.

Saying that android is vulnerable to fragmentation because of varying hardware features and screen resolutions of devices which use it is quite similar to positions stating the same about windows imho.

Also, Apple are being so relentlessly bad strategically on OS X Touch I think it would take a lot less than a technically superior implementation on technically superior hardware to beat them.

But hey, I could be wrong, personally I am a very happy Linux user, this would be good prima facie evidence that I am "out of touch with the market" ;)
Why was that so bad for Apple? Why didn't it work?

(I have no strong opinion on the matter.)
The bad thing about branding them collectively as some sort of "HTML5 standard" is when people start calling other browsers non-compliant with standards that aren't even stable targets yet. Or targeting one browser's draft implementation, without even checking to see which other browsers have comparable support.

This is like "Draft-N" Wireless too.
HTML5 and nice-sounding-buzzword.

That’s something you can do. I don’t think it’s nice of them to throw around buzzwords while being so completely irony resistant, it’s just that I don’t think it’s a reason to be greatly angered.
That's what makes this article a classic. You could change the date to today's, and nothing would seem out of place.
I think this is a real win for the readers of both too.

538 has some of the best analysis and NYT has some of the best info graphics. This could be a beautiful and informative acquisition.
I don't really think it's the same thing. They are making use of the land and providing a service to people (people need to park somewhere), not just trying to sell it to the highest bidder.
Doesn't it depend on overflows that could be out of their control? If the page is larger than the largest width that your browser will display then it could overflow on scrolling and bring you back to the opposite page edge making it a sphere.

Browser dependent post-modernity!
Manned maintenance of Hubble proved to be unfeasible from an economical point of view. It would have been cheaper to just crash command to the old and broken telescope satellite and then send another one instead.

I have some other related but different I'm working on.

Hopefully I'll get the chance to talk about them somewhere (hint hint).
Do that without expecting financial reward, and your soapbox would hold some meaning. "Usefulness" is not synonymous for monetization. Making the world better is not synonymous for making a few people that much richer.
In FallOut 3 I was given a choice between blowing up a town and saving it. I went with the evil option, as that seemed to offer a greater reward. Later I went back to the town, and I saw the used-to-be-good-looking NPCs now disfigured, but some still alive. That made me feel really bad about what I did. Also, later I also heard about it on the in-game radio multiple times, which really felt weird, and made me feel bad about what I did even more. At that point I felt that my actions in this game have consequences, and after that I made my choices more carefully. But the game did not let up, it kept me remembering what I did by putting some of these disfigured NPCs into quests later on.

(It might have been only one NPC that survived, details are fuzzy.)

After reading this article I still have no idea what they are suggesting the problem is, or what they propose the solution is.

Most of it seems based on the assumption that America should be the best at everything, and if they're not then there's some foul plot afoot and the sensationalism starts with the headline.

You seem to know a lot about NLP and I've asked this question in various places and never even found anyone who knew just a little, so I hope you don't mind that I ask you a small question on whether my problem can even be solved with NLP at all.

I'm looking for a way to extract addresses from web pages, where these addresses are immediately recognizable as such by people but are not in a standard format (zip codes before city or after, no zip codes at all, p/o box instead of street name, ...). All in text format (no graphics, no OCR problem) but inside html tags, in various forms (as row in a table, inside one or multple <div>'s, as an <ul>, etc).

- Is this an NLP problem?
- If so, where do I start reading/learning? Most NLP seems to be about understanding free-flowing texts of all sorts of subjects. I'm looking for 98% solutions in what I think is a restricted problem space. Is this a reasonable expectation?
"It's only sort of forced -- conscription is there for cultural reasons, not out of necessity."

That's not exactly true. Conscription is necessary (consider that Israel is a tiny country, but has a lot of enemies.) The symbolism is important too, but it's not the root cause, it's just a nice added benefit (there are a lot of other benefits to this, by the way.)

That said, I don't think you can consider it forced labor. Soldiers are paid a salary, which is tiny, but they get a large amount of money at the end of their service. Plus, they theoretically get every expense paid for by the army (theoretical because most soldiers do go home to their family, either every day or every few weekends.) Soldiers who do have a hard time economically (no family, or a family with a hard time supporting them) get a lot of other benefits, which range from higher salaries, paid-for living quarters, and having lots of time off to go work at a second job and make more money, if they need it.
I think their preferred term is "managed democracy".
Sounds great, if I have a private well. (The people in this article have a private well.) It forces everyone else to pay for higher water rates so that my free well has more water.

Therefore, won't increasing the rates simply encourage more people to build a private well and avoid the fees when, say, watering the lawn?

In Israel, the public, through the government, owns the water sources. A quick and shallow search finds https://wrrc.arizona.edu/awr/f09/ownership :

> Schorr believes that the Israeli system, at least in theory, is ideally suited to protect the natural environment. Environmental woes, however, beset the country. Due to falling water tables or surface diversions nearly all the streams, including the Jordan below the Sea of Galilee, have been dried up. Some serve as sewage canals causing extensive damage to flora and fauna, The levels of the Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee are dropping precipitously. Falling water tables in the Coastal Aquifer have caused saltwater incursions. Clearly there is a theory-practice disconnect in Israeli water law. ...

> He finds that the public food is generally motivating Israeli water policy less than the interest of a particular sector: agriculture. The state might officially own water, but officials are allocating the water in response to agricultural interests.

I know nothing of the veracity of that statement.

On the contrary, I find the fact that Snowden is on the 'wanted' list and that presidential planes are diverted in order to attempt to arrest him proof positive that what he released was genuine, after all, if he made it all up then there would be no issue.
So I just create an unlimited number of unique tweets for the browser extension to detect and I get unlimited profit? You'd need a way to validate tweets, and a way to make sure that the validators are not rogue.
Hopefully this is the start of that stupid trend finally dying off. How many publications have cut off the nose to spite their face, and completely alienated their reader base with paywalls at this point?

DAUs === money. And the fact that management in the legacy media companies can't comprehend this is mindblowing.
I'm single but I still like the Echo quite a bit. It understands my voice much better than Siri as well.

The shopping list is one win. It's also convenient just to ask the weather as I'm about to head out the door, for example.

Someone in an Amazon datacenter that gets ahold of a random backup tape/hard drive can't read it. I'm not sure if Dropbox is hosted on EC2, but if not, it means that Amazon couldn't read the data at all. (If it's hosted on EC2, Amazon could probably get ahold of the key if they really wanted to)
This is the first time I've heard someone on HN actually ask for more security theatre. Sure, Dropbox could spend seven figures to get a ISOxxxx whatever consultancy to draw up a 125 page document describing their internal checks, do the obligatory all-hands yearly mandatory training where you have to get 10/10 questions right and question 1 is "A user has uploaded naked pictures of themselves to their account. True or false: it is permissible to download these and take them home with you.", etc etc.

And they'd be exactly where we are today:

1) Yes, we could look at your data any time we want to. This is an inevitable consequence of letting you look at your data any time you want to.

2) We promise not to abuse our power #1.

3) If you don't trust us on #2, you should not do business with us.

Except they'd be out seven figures.
Also known as kinesthetic anchoring, the bread and butter of basic NLP. It's pretty controversial like the rest of the material and is probably utterly ineffective.
> make a decision as to whether or not you trust the entity

If I don't trust the entity, how could I be installing any of its software on my machines? I have to trust what I am told if I am to use the software for its intended purpose.

If Dropbox claims what Miguel has quoted in his post, and then it happens that claims are (basically) not true, then it raises the question of integrity, i.e. what other assumptions that I have made were off? Say, that your .sys is not doubling as a key logger or your software is not scanning my disks at government's request, etc.
Did you miss the dash of pure and utter fantasy?
I agree right now. Signal is better today (other than being tied to a phone number which I detest) but Matrix seems like the clear win for the future.

That being said I find Matrix usable today and it seems better to bring my friends to that instead of trying to get them to move twice.

Counterpoint: mithril.js has been feature complete for years, and the culture around it is to resist change for the sake of change (e.g. it didn't jump into the react hooks bandwagon like vue did, even though it's arguably more similar to react than vue is)

Ecosystem-wise, it encourages integrating with high quality vanilla libraries directly instead of having a react-this or vue-that for everything under the sun.

This approach has worked well, IMHO.
The overwhelming majority of users run incognito/private mode only for porn and equivalent, to avoid leaving traces on the machine. The law should assume incognito mode does not exist, as a baseline.

> Firefox rarely copies Chrome’s features

I hope this is sarcasm. Sadly, FF is effectively pushed by market forces to adopt most Chrome features, down to the extension mechanics. This has always been true for every player, to be fair, it just so happens that Chrome is the current reference.
