I get the same thing here in Japan.
To get to the Gawker top page, I have to go us.lifehacker.com (for example).

When I click any link from google however, I'm automatically redirected to the JP top page, so I have to take the www out of the url and replace it with us.

it's such a PITA that I've pretty much stopped using Gawker sites all together.
Reasons to incorporate include 1. limiting your liability and 2. establishing a formal agreement between you and your friends. First, if someone were to sue your company and you weren't incorporated (LLC, C-Corp, etc.) then they would be suing YOU personally and you would be liable. If you do incorporate, someone suing you is actually suing the company - the company is liable and only in specific cases can you be personally liable.

The second part is that incorporating typically puts out the terms of your arrangement with your friends - right now, if the hosting is in one person's name, they could essentially be the sole owner of the company (unless you had a lawsuit over IP, or something like that). Incorporating makes clear that the company owns the site and IP, and decides what percentage each party owns of the company.

This story is reminiscent of and inferior to Asimov's "The Last Question":

It's not much money. $10/mo is $360 per machine if they replace the machines every three years. Plus $75 in search revenue ($25/yr) is $435. For $20/mo that total goes up to $795. That gets them up above the typical cost for a netbook, so they could start making money. But factor in maintenance costs, server overhead, etc... seems like pretty slim margins.

That said, if they can get large swaths of people using Google who previously couldn't afford a computer, they could be expanding their reach massively. So maybe it's worth it in that sense. To acquire virgin lifetime Google users.

Edit: I guess they're selling them with an upfront cost, I missed that. But it's an interesting calculation nonetheless.
You could be right. I must confess, that i have a (probably) very narrow understanding of typical optimization problems. Most of the objective functions i optimize have machine learning algorithms in it (to optimizer hyperparameters). Depending on the evaluation those can have low noise.

If you like you could provide other use cases and applications for optimization algorithms.
I haven't looked at his source, but usually there's a white noise term in the covariance structure of the Gaussian process regressor that adds some statistical uncertainty at each evaluation point. So even when it evaluates a point of parameter space the GPR is still somewhat uncertain about the value of the optimization function at that point. So it should balance exploration versus exploitation taking that statistical uncertainty into account.
Compiling ASM and even C is very fast these days. No generics, small compilation units etc... Even with optims it's usually a non issue in my experience.

For a datapoint it takes me ~2 minutes to build a reasonably fully featured ARM linux kernel with a cold cache on a 5 year old i5. wc counts 1399 CC, 65 AS and 411 LD calls. And of course incremental rebuilds are only a fraction of that.
I would be very disappointed if that were the case.. no, it looks like it’s set up to capture variance. The BO algo wraps an “Expected Improvement Optimizer”:

https://github.com/SimonBlanke/Gradient-Free-Optimizers/blob...

Which selects new points based on both the model’s mean estimate and its variance. See around line 58
Do you have any experience with the limesdr? I've been eyeing those for a bit
> Incorporate SMS (with a red background or something obvious that the chat is insecure), incorporate backup, and just fully embrace being a messaging app. If they do that they'll make the world universally more secure because it will increase adoption 100 fold. I'll have a lot easier time convincing my dad to use signal if I don't have to try to walk him through "well when you're texting grandma, use this app, and when you're texting me, use this app".

You can already use SMS from within the Signal app on mobile. On desktop it makes sense that there is no SMS feature, unless you want to use the desktop client to send SMS from your phone (like Android messaging), or you want Signal to operate an SMS gateway?
So, the revolutions in Europe (which lead to democratization) happened because of whatever happened in Africa, India and the Americas? Or what do you mean?
Given that this is a ycombinator site, has anyone thought about or started a startup (it's a really a product rather than a company, but still) that helps you optimize (say) Chinese products out of your life?
We ended up cutting some of the technical ECS details from the blog post to make it more easily-digestible. The description in this pull request is effectively a stand-alone blog post describing things like the Archetype Graph: https://github.com/bevyengine/bevy/pull/1525
> Whether any one of us believes in 10x'ers aside

I've met a lot of folks who didn't believe it... right until they met one.

> That application got the company to IPO

They got lucky they could IPO before scaling became an issue.

Just imagine Google not being able to scale. Or Facebook.
I’m not sure I would take that bet. How much security camera footage is compressed, recorded, never looked at, and discarded after x days?

Certainly in number of images (as opposed to number of bytes), those might tilt things the other way.
I have asked this before but without an answer. Has anyone been able to successfully do a verified build of a recent version of the Android client?

I have not been able to get it to compile but have not spent much time trying to figure out why it doesn't want to compile.
I agree with the options you mentioned. It's just that I've dealt with a similar issue at the state level and none of that works.

A trooper knew he was holding an incorrect charge against my wife. The charge carried with it pretrial restrictions that would not have occurred under the correct charge (a "leash law" violation). IAD didn't care. The investigation even tried to explain the trooper's lie to the judge about why he was amending the charge as just a misunderstanding... yeah, ok. Neither state reps replied to my two letters. The governor claims he can't get involved in a court issue even though I only wrote him about the practices of the state police (which he oversees) leading to violations, and that the policy should change. I contacted the ACLU, but this is not a big enough issue for them.

The only thing with any traction is an investigative journalist who is pitching the story to their editor.

I'm not holding my breath, but I am either in the process of submitting or waiting to hear about: a complaint to the Bar about the ADA having information that it was an incorrect charge and allowing it to stand, the DOJ to investigate the practices of the state police knowingly holding false charges, and a response from my latest letter to the governor.
Reminds me a lot of "Railway Oriented Programming", part of the great F# tutorial, trying to cover concepts like option types.

Why put feeling in quotes? No need to be rude. I guess comments about feeling aren't allowed on HN.
Yeah, but if you notice, they fucked up this guys life without ever even bringing him to court. They aren’t dealing with an investigation where they are going to bring charges against this guy... they don’t think he is guilty of anything.

They are trying to brow beat him into being an informant. Their threat is the no fly list, which they were able to use without needing to go to court.
I do like the approach of personal recommendations over algorithmic. It's just inherently more meaningful if it's from a person you trust or somebody that knows what you're into. We're trying to lean more that way with https://beta.readng.co
Which is why I am partial to mandatory coding rules, preferably enforced by tooling. Once the conversation about style is eliminated altogether, people can focus on the important things.

For me the important thing about code review is bringing in people who may be more familiar with other components with which the code interacts.
I think that that's less of a difference in the definition, but more the connotation. With that in mind though, I agree with you.
The discussion is about big O, yes? This isn't really relevant to our discussion. Parallel analysis and average case, for the purposes of the discussion here, are fancy games you can try to play to get nice bounds, but they do not really have any impact on the big O of these algorithms.

Co-author of https://github.com/AshampooSystems/boden/, https://www.boden.io/

Currently COO at a SaaS startup. Prior to that, Head of Engineering at another company in the audio software industry. More than 12 years of management and development experience in numerous international projects. I have worked in both native and web development. I am a generalist with deep technical roots who is capable of quickly learning and adapting to new requirements.

Looking for a new challenge either in management or software engineering.
that's not quite right. Bellovin et al in the late 80s early 90s really made a big push for authentication infrastructure (SPKI). but at the time PKI was being held hostage by ITAR (I remember sending off to get permission to use the RSA library, and getting something back several months later.

so yes, many of the people working on these things didn't have a security mindset (I had unix accounts at all kinds of random places), but some did...and the US DoD really threw cold water on the whole business
Hi! When I only started my journey about drawing learning I found different posts for beginners with real useful advices there (for example https://ivypanda.com/essays/beginner-drawing-lessons/). Maybe it will help :)

You can buy Indian numbers with Twilio and make/receive voice calls and text messages. (See their site.) After the call hits the Twilio infrastructure, it is as location-agnostic as any other application interacting with APIs on the Internet. (One thing I do with Twilio is forward calls made to a US number to a Japanese number after doing trivial processing on them. My app runs on a server which happens to be somewhere in the vicinity of Chicago, not Japan.)

I'd assume things are roughly similar for Plivo/Tropo but I don't use them.
... ... wait, wait, wait.

This is a tool which attempts to brute force a password by making HTTP POSTs to an API? And someone though the best way to write that was in in PHP, which is single threaded and thus cannot try multiple passwords in parallel?

Wow. Ok. Good luck with that.
I love munificent's opinions on programming langugaes (wish he'd never given up on magpie...), and I can't wait to try this one out.

Unfortunately it doesn't build under GCC on linux right now, so use clang if you want to try it out.
Only in a technical sense; Arthur Anderson is in a line of business where a criminal prosecution is pretty much a death sentence, a conviction absolutely so, even if later reserved. Per Wikipedia:

In 2002, the firm voluntarily surrendered its licenses to practice as Certified Public Accountants in the United States after being found guilty of criminal charges relating to the firm's handling of the auditing of Enron, an energy corporation based in Texas, which had filed for bankruptcy in 2001 and later failed. The other national accounting and consulting firms bought most of the practices of Arthur Andersen. The verdict was subsequently overturned by the Supreme Court of the United States. The damage to its reputation, however, has prevented it from returning as a viable business, though it still nominally exists.
What an accurate quote, thanks for posting.
You're making your argument out of innuendo and rhetorical flourish, which can be used to argue for almost any position.

You will have more luck here speaking directly and to the facts, for example: "This year Bill Gates did X which is bad for reason Y."
>Did anyone ever actually believe that there was a fire-all-ze-missiles button?

Well, a lot of us believed that there were only two possibilities for nuclear war: either no missiles got fired, or they all did -- either in an escalating pattern of strike and counterstrike, or in one big "let's knock them out before they get us" attack.

So I guess a "big red button" is as good a metaphor as any for the sort of on/off, all-or-nothing situation we were afraid of.
Pipedrive | Engineering Product Manager | Prague, Lisbon, Tallinn | ONSITE, VISA

Pipedrive is a SaaS visual sales tool for small to medium businesses. We’ve been backed with $90 million in funding since 2010 and are experiencing rapid growth. Our team is now located in five countries, building the sales tool used by over 85,000 companies.

I am very happy with the maturity of the process here and the autonomy our team is having. We are getting a lot of support from the company while still being able to innovate and fully own our part of the product.

I am looking for Engineering Product Manager to my team. It is a unique role, a combination of PM and engineer. Hands on backend programming experience required.

Our stack is mainly TypeScript, Node.js, React, Docker, MySQL, Elastic, ... We expect some experience with that but the main thing is the cultural fit. We are looking for team players.

Please ping me an email at jakub.kadlubiec@pipedrive.com if you want me to refer you or if you want to learn more about the company. Please include the location where you'd like to work from (no remote). I am an engineer not a recruiter.

The way this model operates is the equivalent of machine learning shitposting.

Broke: Use a text encoder to feed text data to an image generator, like a GAN.

Woke: Use a text and image encoder as the same input to decode text and images as the same output

And yet, due to the magic of Transformers, it works.

From the technical description, this seems feasible to clone given a sufficiently robust dataset of images, although the scope of the demo output implies a much more robust dataset than the ones Microsoft has offered publicly.
I was rebuked in my transfer request at a startup because "transfers were rewards" and my manager didn't like me.
Dane here. A piece is missing. Interest rates may be 0%, but there is also an annual bank fee on the loans. As the interest rates have gone down, these fees have risen, and I believe the banks increasingly make their money on those. It's still good news for borrower, since the fees don't accrue interest.

Can I sell you some LTSC licenses?

Windows 7 is no longer supported and you now have devices not receiving security updates that are (if they're getting updates) connected to the internet.
There seems to be several sources that credit Meier as saying there was no bug here, but I am still a little puzzled by a couple of things.

Recent debunking articles such as this one generally state that the "fake bug" was presented as an "integer overflow glitch", however both the original claim that there was a warmongering Gandhi and a description of the bug (if it existed) are of integer underflow errors.

In either case (overflow or underflow), these types of errors were rather common enough to be more than plausible.

I'm just confused by how the description of the bug got flipped, particularly as the original source for the claim of a nuclear Gandhi correctly describes it as:

"This error caused -1 to underflow"

The part that makes me question if the debunkers are actually telling the truth though is this claim:

"As a matter of fact, a numeric bug of that nature comes from something called "unsigned characters," which aren't even a thing in the C programming language."

This is clearly false and I would be surprised if Meier would have made such a claim.
> Have you tried implementing a numeric tower with proper OO in Smalltalk?

The number of languages that I've seen with a proper numeric tower that aren't Scheme (or direct descendants of Scheme like Racket) are zero, so "OO makes it hard to do something almost no one ever does"...?

> Rinse and repeat for any other problem that requires simultaneous pattern matching on several values.

No problem requires pattern matching, much less on several values, any more than a problem requires OOP. Pattern matching and OOP are idioms that can be used to solve problems, but they are never the exclusive idiom that can be used to solve a problem (though either might be the only one that a particular language provides.)
New users on the JVM-only (no Clojurescript) may want to use Pulsar instead of core.async.

I'm not aware of any solution. The problem for building an iOS app to deliver this is that you'll need to provide the 5.1 player inside the same app as the virtualization engine. My engine works on iOS and Android, in case you know someone who has a working 5.1 movie player app for iOS ;)

I'm also already discussing the possibilities with one Android app developer company for getting my headphone enhancer engine into their music player (because their player is what I personally use on my S4 mini).

Indeed you are correct and that's why it's generally simpler to use a service that acts as a reseller - i.e., they are the vendor of record. This means you shift all of the responsibility to them and you don't have to deal with it. Using the likes of PayPal / Stripe is not a good idea because you will be responsible for VAT compliance and with the newly introduced EU legislation, it can be a huge hassle - you need to deal with the MOSS at least. If you're selling software, I can recommend FastSpring - it's what the majority of Mac software houses use, it's highly customisable and they've been around for years.

Furthermore, if you're UK based and use a non-UK marketplace / reseller, then the revenue you receive from the reseller lies outside the scope of UK VAT and you don't have to do anything [1]

The reason why most EU developers on the App Stores don't deal with VAT is because the vendor of record is Apple Luxembourg, thus lies outside the scope. And that's precisely why Apple requires VAT invoices from Luxembourg-based developers.

Cloud providers nowadays usually have some sort of CLI clients. OpenStack comes with a full suite[1]. Google rolled out their own for Google Cloud[2]. And if there's nothing official, there are often tools built by users available for interacting with the API.

Authentication is based on some sort of shared secret rather than keys though, yes.

I'm not sure what you are trying to communicate with the capitalization there, but what it suggests to me is more stress/accent than tones; those aren't the same thing.
You probably wouldn't get in trouble for using it for yourself but trying to commercialize it would likely land you in hot er...water.
By problems that matter I don't necessarily mean big technical problems, just something that you would like to have and would make your life easier, but don't want to invest time yourself to make it.
This would be more important and trustworthy if it had teeth and backing by multiple governments (say the USA, Canada, United Nations, EU), maybe each government could elect a member to sit on the board or maybe 3 members from the left, center, and right of their political spectrums.

Most importantly it needs to be more than "just facebook" but something that just governs social media in general.

Social media basically controls governments now, and may even have more power than government in many ways. So a coalition between the governments and social media may be the best way forward, but it needs to be as much content providers as possible.
Hard drive is a great example. And it shows that advertising is completely backwards.

It starts with a seller, who wants to sell this hard drive, no matter what, and then pays to find a buyer. Targeted advertising is a false promise that if the date of birth, sexual orientation, political preference, and the favourite color of everyone are known, the advertiser can somehow find buyers for a smaller fee. Indeed, most of the hard drive buyers are older than 20 and like women. There's a correlation to exploit.

This business model is completely backwards in the digital age. What is possible now, instead of profiling people, Google/Facebook/Amazon could have been profiling products, sellers, their supply chains, organize information, build knowledge graph, and rather than profit from a seller pushing their message, they could have took a commission for finding just the right hard drive for everyone, no matter what color they like.

The point is profiling sellers and their products is a harder problem than scamming and nudging unsuspecting users. We all know how great Amazon search is. Targeted advertising on the other hand is just the same as print era advertising but cheaper.
>> Guido was an employee there, and go was starting to get mainstream traction.

So your conspiracy theory is that Guido, the BDFL at the time, colluded with Google, who use python for numerous products, to destroy python and popularize Golang......?
Yes, they're only able to send notifications if they have an author's copyright to enforce (for a long time it was only Busybox that actually enforced their copyright this way).

Just to be clear, AWS SSO supports multiple keys. Yes, AWS IAM only supports a single key and it's very frustrating. If you want multiple key support, I suggest moving to AWS SSO. It's much better in every way.
Using the heap has nothing to do with the code being safe or unsafe.
This is fascinating.

I highly recommend listening to the audio interview.
Hamilton’s done a few exhibition sim races, and generally does very well in them. The skills translate much better from track to sim than they do the other way around. If you watch the break and throttle pressure on these streams, it’s obvious that the professional racers are much better. They do things like trail breaking, and managing engine power a lot more competently and consistently than the sim enthusiasts. I’d imagine the main obstacle would be getting used to the different feedback sources. It’s also worth noting that most F1 drivers (I don’t really know about other motorsports) do at least some sim training. Kimi is the only current driver I know of who’s said he doesn’t use the sim.
I recall seeing a treadmill / desk combo. But since you mentioned it I am going to look for it. Found it on amazon, $1300. Seems like they just put a tall table over a tread mill.

My main concern is that Twitter accessory services tend to die due to business model or changes in Twitter's API. Linking to one instead of the tweet increases the chance of a dead link in the future. Even if it's better now, it stands a good chance of being worse in the long run.
