> French Airbus

The what now? Airbus, formerly EADS, is the result of mergers of French, German and Spanish aeronautics companies, and the government owned stock ( iirc ~30% is roughly split between them). HQ in the Netherlands makes sense the same way that entity HQs are in different countries - Germant for helicopters, France for civilian airplanes, Spain for military, with of course the added benefit of taxes.

There are plenty of mergers that end up registered in the NL, and plenty of multinationals that do so as well.
Geoffrey Hinton really made things hard for folks on the AI side and even walked back that promise.

I think it’s the classic thing where it’s overestimated in the short term and underestimated in the long (longggg) term.

My sense is that for AI to have the full impact it will one day reach, it will take rethinking medical care entirely with online machine learning and data at the core of how decisions are made.

ML was able to revolutionize how ads are delivered (for better or worse, but at least reaching the objectives of those who deployed it) because you can update and deploy the models multiple times a day.

If we can one day get to a world like that where an ML mode is constantly learning and updating itself, and has seen far more patients than any individual doctor, then maybe we will see the sorts of bigger shifts that were imagined shortly after we started to see ML surpass human ability on long standing difficult tasks like object recognition.

Getting there is a long, long road where we need to learn to work together with AI and figure out where the holes are in terms of robustness, earn trust over years of successful deployment, and figure out how to properly put safety bounds around more frequent updates to models.
There's a difference between having the majority in Parliament (which is generally necessary in order to govern) and being able to muster that majority to vote on some specific matter of interest to the general public. Johnson has a large majority but they don't just answer to him, they answer first and foremost to their constituents, and their constituencies are not Gerrymandered to a tortuous degree so as to make only party loyalty relevant.
The ISO country codes are different though (FR and GP), the heuristics may be based on that ?
Lifespans weren't that much shorter in his day (provided you made it to 5 years old).

He's not describing something that is "true" or not, but rather what ought to be. I think it's just as relevant today as when he wrote that.
Warning that it's vulnerable because it relies on a server for key exchange is like warning that water is wet and you shouldn't let it loose in your house to prevent water damage. It's correct, but redundant. The very definition of end to end encryption is not trusting the server, so you need to verify the exchanged keys. This is a requirement in Signal, Wire, Threema, Jami, Briar, Element/Matrix, Keybase, OTR, and all other protocols. If you don't do that, then yes, you rely on whoever owns (or "owned") the server.

What might need a warning is that the server can push new keys to your phone at any time and, unless you go into your security settings, you will never notice. Being warned of key changes is opt-in. That's why WhatsApp does, by default, opportunistic encryption.

But Moxie was involved in the implementation and got only a few million for publishing that claim so no worries y'all.
async rust is more complex with a larger dependency tree and is harder to write.

You get a marginal to good benefit if you have a specific work load that I think most people don't really have.
Yes, the point of "async" isn't to save CPU cycles, it's to customize the scheduler so that you can prioritize resource use properly.

(E.g., don't switch to the systemd or sshd thread if a customer's web request is timing out.)

That said, doing this right is out of reach of the average programmer, and it's doubtful that the compiler has enough domain-specific knowledge to do this automatically.

"Async" of the Python and node.js fame is yet another thing, a hack to get around their interpreters' inability to use kernel multitasking features because of global locks.
That is a good point, but 100x more expensive seems like it can't entirely be accounted for by more specialty crops. Most small farms in my area do most of their sales growing typical vegetables: tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, kale, cucumbers, etc.

Wheat is, in bulk, $0.125/lb right now. At a farmers market, there are a few things that fetch $12.50/lb, but not too many. There are plenty which sell for $1-$2/lb.

That does account for 10x of the cost difference though, thanks.

> However, it has always been hard to trust a VPN provider who could potentially log and intercept your internet traffic!

Later:

Now you're just trusting your obscure VPN machine-image provider not to log and intercept your traffic! (Or am I misunderstanding what using this URL does?)

Like another commenter, I was sort of hoping for something more generic.
F1 cars use sequential gearboxes, which aren't the same as automatic (actually, they're different from typical manual transmissions as well).

They do have driver-operated clutches, though... actually there's TWO of them, usually the bottom two paddles on the left and right of the wheel. They're only necessary when starting the car from stationary, after that the computer takes over. It's actually notoriously difficult to operate them, if you take a look at this video of Richard Hammond driving an F1 car, he takes several tries to get it moving.

Not to mention, there are other types of highly-paid race car drivers.
No, it does not. See my reply to similar comments.
Indeed but if you want a pretty good estimate you can just whatever mixing factor is most common in China or the US and convert :)
As the Docker Engine for SDC is being developed to the Docker API and CLI, Triton can be used through any Docker ux. https://github.com/joyent/sdc-docker/blob/master/docs/diverg...

The interesting bits are not the self-serve portal. The portal is good for introducing the stack and supplementing the experience, but few use a portal for infrastructure management -- they require more automation, specific to their business.

We're working hard on getting the self-server portal code architecture and hygiene up to open sourcing it. From there we can get these portal plugins open as well. Our on-prem customers are hungry for this, as many of them have a mandate for OSS.
I don't know why we keep passing around this kind of anti-intellectual, faux-controversial drivel. Very little is required to be a programmer (whatever it means to be a programmer). No, you don't need to be an expert on algorithm analysis or complexity theory or some other CS theoretical thing to be a programmer, but it's quite obviously better to be able to reason in a certain way about certain problems (and of course asymptotic analysis isn't everything when dealing with practical applications).

Squeak, for example, has its VM quite literally written in a subset of itself called Slang, which translates to C: http://ftp.squeak.org/docs/OOPSLA.Squeak.html

Also, most Lisps (especially Scheme) have a relatively small core written in C for bootstrapping, and the rest of the language is written in itself.
The USPS could offer a way of electronically delivering mail to them which could be sent over the internet then printed (by the USPS) at the nearest sorting center. Who says things that need to be on paper have to start out that way?
I'm not really sure how that follows. Was there some established link between GRE scores and ethics?

I suspect it has as much to do with the following requirements:

1) A degree that is take-home essay heavy.
2) Very vocational -- the goal being the degree, not the learning.

I'd expect business and law schools to be high on the list too, although maybe the dynamic is somewhat different for professional schools.
I'd be interested to see if there is any reference to support grains being used as human food 100 000 years ago; as far as I can tell the Nature story seems to indicate roughly 30 000 years for the new findings. Cultivation of grains is usually said to date back about 10 000 years before present. The time perspective to see this in is at least a couple of million years of evolution as what we label the genus Homo, and in the ballpark of 65 million years of evolution as primates.

Seeds are rich in energy and nutrients to supply the plant embryo inside during the beginning of it's growth, and consequently heavily protected, be it by mechanical or chemical means. If this seems difficult to believe, consider the impact on a plant's reproductive success of getting its seeds destroyed versus receiving damage to some somatic tissues.
> "You see, education, for most people, is NOT about learning. It's about getting a job."

That is exactly true. But I challenge that "learning for its own sake" is not normal; rather, the educational system is atrocious in its ability to foster "learning" in kids who never experienced truly mastering something in the first place.

I daresay that the sense of accomplishment from solving a problem or truly learning something is a universal human response. The problem lies with the educational system.
Your rite. Next time I will spellcheck before taxing the runway.
There is no evidence of critical thinking or questioning whether all these claims are correct.

I'm afraid that I don't understand your comment. Let's look at some reports from the mainstream media (not this scary 'net' that you mention):

Images of Shah Rukh Kahn, one of the biggest Bollywood stars, were leaked.

At least one penis joke was made, and it led to one TSA agent assaulting another.
http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_162-20004436-504083.html

There has been criticism as to the radiation dosage model used to evaluate machine safety. Safety studies have been carried out in animal models.
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1268330...

Security theatre. Let's think this through: The people who are smuggling bombs onto aircraft are suicide bombers. Drug mules swallow condoms full of cocaine to bring product over the border. Do you think it's considerably more difficult to eat a condom full of semtex? The nude-o-scope can't inspect the contents of your stomach. Abdullah Hassan Al Aseery put PETN in his anus. How do you counter that threat model?

Where do you see an absence of critical thinking?
From the article:

"all frisks that avoid the sensitive regions are by definition symbolic"

I'm inclined to agree.
"StyleSheet is not CSS. You will be quickly disappointed if you adventure outside the few CSS-inspired properties that React Native ships with." < I can see how that can be quite annoying, everytime you want to use a property, you'd have to go back and check if RN supports it.

Maybe there will be stronger overlap in the long run.
Hah! I just finished Stranger in a Strange Land this weekend :)

It was my introduction to Heinlein. I'd avoided older scifi because I'd wondered whether I would relate to it, and felt confirmed in that suspicion with Stranger. It's not that I'm not glad that I read it, and if I consider the context that it was written in circa the 1950s, then I can definitely appreciate how radical it must have been. But to my sensibilities, it feels tawdry and cheap, and thus insincere. It's in no way a fair criticism since it seems to have been part of the zeitgeist that led to the free love of the 60s and subsequent over-indulgence and exploitation of the 70s (and thus the dominance of the idea that sex sells and so on). And from what I gather it was rather sincere in so far as Heinlein was supremely interested in challenging prevailing mores of the time. But outside of that context, to me, it feels, again, cheap and tawdry, and just kind of stale.
This is an amazingly misleading article. What Yellen said was: the Fed only has the authority to regulate banks, and if Bitcoin stays extra-bank, then it has no authority to regulate it. However, she said, the Department of Treasury does have the authority to regulate it.
Not a problem, more an missed opportunity. There are a pretty large market of Veg*n folks, why exclude?

I have to congratulate the New York Times on doing a relevant useful web app really well, with excellent implementation (allow people to save their choices, share it, etc.)
I too would love to have a dramatically simplified immigration policy, but political reality makes any kind of vast, sweeping reform really unlikely for at least the next several years (probably longer, but I'm not willing to predict that far).

Sure, neither the Startup Visa Act nor the Dream Act go far enough, but they're steps in the right direction, and if we oppose such measures on the grounds that they aren't big enough, it's going to be much harder to get anywhere. It's always easier to convince people to make 20 small changes than it is to convince them to make 1 big one that's 20x the size.
I'm not sure you do -- queue management in the official iOS app is lousy, and streaming-only to boot (except on the iPad, where it just presents a slow webview of the Netflix site).

iPhlix has its problems, but is a much better overall package, and an indie development effort.
Maybe not. At the same time, they eventually aren't going to have a choice, and waiting only deepens the inevitable cuts. I don't subscribe to any of the Beck-type fear and paranoia, but I do believe our legislators are going to find their employer insolvent if they don't work together to get our finances in order.
And this is why DRM is a a threat to open source. Consider what this means: Want Netflix? You need DRM. Want DRM? Say goodbye to your open-source kernel.

In Norway, people employed by the local municipalities have email adresses that are literally of the style

$firstname[.$middlename].$lastname@employee.$municipalityName.municipality.no

where "employee" and "municipality" are literal strings (in Norwegian) and the others are variables. It's incredible, I've seen people with 50 character long email addresses.

Everyone should just stop using atom, I found the way they responded to the issue very condescending.

"You are certainly free to block the network access and Atom will work in an offline mode if that is your preference, if that is not what you desire though there are plenty of other editors out there that may fit your needs better."

No one asked them if they are free to block network access or
if they are free to use other editors.

I am a mathematician. My career is working as a machine learning researcher and data scientist. I specialize in developing operations infrastructure for data pipelines and model deployment. To this end, I concern myself with web standards, accessible design and lifecycle management of a product from prototype to production. This involves a fair amount of working across departments and extensive documentation.

I am looking for an ambitious opportunity, particularly greenfield projects.

The most important thing to know about me:

I am told that I'm pleasant to work with.
I genuinely enjoy doing what I do, with a sense of calm and professional acumen.
Generally, HackerNews has been courteous towards me and I try to be receptive to that courtesy.

If this interests you, please feel free to reach out!
Indeed, but that is (still) surely 'figuratively porn'. Call me a traditionalist, but 'literally porn' is for getting people turned on sexually.
Thanks for this. I take the subway every day of the week, and unfortunately we don't have internet service in the subway tunnels. I've been hoping for an app like this for a long time. Will definitely download and try it!
I'm not sure I understand your point. How are they supposed to know, outside of taking the appropriate actions that would allow them to know? Well, take those actions.

Sure, it could be a hard question to answer. It's also a question whose answer is part of their core business. If they can't obtain the answer somehow, why do they even exist?

I'd have been fine with "Because of X, Y, or Z, I have to pass this off to department Q and they'll get back to you in a day or two." But that's not what they said.

Edit: I should clarify that the local wiring was all in place. Verizon phone service was available (and I had had it at one point, although not at the time of the call). Nothing needed digging or drilling or any sort of wire running at all.
Now you have two problems: instead of worrying about rogue pilots, you have to worry about rogue pilots and rogue remote control. Oh, and latency in remote control is also a nice thing to have. And signal loss. And jamming. So, five problems (actually, that's just a random sample).

Such a terrible idea in such a short sentence...
Yeah I have a hard time telling what's definitely going on from the OP's description.

I personally find the most difficult people to work with are the people who have trouble filling the gaps in their knowledge themselves AND are evasive when they don't know something.
The PRC also has a written Constitution which includes provisions guaranteeing freedom of speech, press, assembly, and association (article 34), protection against unlawful arrest or unlawful search (articles 37 and 39), privacy of correspondence (article 40), and other many other important civil liberties.

https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Constitution_of_the_People%27...

That Constitution was adopted in 1982, over three decades ago.

I see it as extraordinarily important to ponder why the rights set out in the U.S. constitution often constrain state power so much more than the rights set out in the PRC constitution.

It's also worth noting that the modern understanding of much of the U.S. Bill of Rights, and especially a Supreme Court willing to use it to grant strong substantive relief against the government (and to use the fourteenth amendment to apply the same rules to state governments!) mostly came about during the 20th century. David Rabban wrote a paper ("The First Amendment in Its Forgotten Years"), later expanded into a book (Free Speech in Its Forgotten Years, 1870-1920) that talks about the courts' extreme reluctance to understand the first amendment in the way we now do.

There are lots of theories about why civil liberties became more substantive, more cherished, more protected, and more a part of the culture in the U.S. -- but I don't think it can be merely a matter of their having been mentioned in the Constitution.
Sounds like a broken culture. I won't comment on the normalcy of your situation, but I do not think it's acceptable.

If you want to stay, talk to your manager and explain you need more mentoring. Talk to the friendliest senior you can. You may just need to work on building g a relationship with someone. Junior employers should get mentoring, trading; they should be encouraged to make mistakes. You can find that somewhere, but you may need to search that not only excel technically, but also excel at managing people.
You can run command from inside your backup script, from the client. It needs the encryption key anyway to add backups, this way it is just one extra command that does all the pruning (quite quickly as well). And you don't have to worry about full/incremental backups, nor really about any "rotation" or managing them manually, it's all deduplicated and Borg just keeps X number of daily/weekly/whatever snapshots (like duplicacy, like restic, like bup, etc. etc.).
Great to hear! I've poked around a little and see that, and in any case wish you success and that we can all learn from it.
Location-based pay also has a disparate impact on Black and Latino people, who are statistically much more likely to have family in the south and Midwest, which have low cost of living. There’s something very troubling about two workers at a Bay Area company moving back home while working remotely, and a white or Asian worker getting paid more because family is in the Bay Area suburbs while a Black or Latino worker gets paid less because family is in the much cheaper Atlanta or Houston suburbs.
