I'm a lattice QCD practitioner. What I'll say is that the BMW collaboration isn't named that by coincidence---they're a resource-rich, extremely knowledgeable, cutting-edge group that is the envy of many others.

They're also cut-throat competitive, which is very divisive. Grad students and postdocs are forced to sign NDAs to work on the hot stuff. That's insane.

What's worse, from my point of view (as an actual LQCD practitioner) is: they're not very open about the actual details of their computation. It's tricky, because they treat their code as their 'secret sauce'. (Most of the community co-develops at least the base-level libraries; BMW goes it alone.)

OK, so they don't want to share their source code; that's fine. But they ALSO don't want to share any of their gauge configurations (read: monte carlo samples) because they're expensive to produce and can be reused for other calculations. So it'd be frustrating to share your own resource-intensive products and have someone else scoop you with them. I disagree with that, but I get it at least.

My biggest problem, and the one that I do not understand, is their reluctance to share the individual measurements they've made on each Monte Carlo sample. Then, at least, a motivated critic could develop their own statistical analysis (even if they can't develop their whole from-scratch computation).

Because of the structure and workflow of a LQCD calculation it's very difficult to blind. So, the only thing I know to do is to say "here are all the inputs, at the bit-exact level, to our analysis, here are our analysis scripts, here's the result we get; see if you agree."

This is the approach my collaborators and I took when we published a 1% determination of the nucleon axial coupling g_A [Nature 558, 91-94 (2018)]: we put the raw correlation functions as well as scripts on github https://github.com/callat-qcd/project_gA and said "look, here's literally exactly what we do; if you run this you will get the numbers in the paper." It's not great because our analysis code isn't the cleanest thing in the world (we're more interested in results than in nice software engineering). But at least the raw data is right there, we tell you what each data set is, and you're free to analyze it.

BMW does nothing of the sort. They (meaning those with power to dictate how the collaboration operates) seem to not want to adopt principles of nothing-up-my-sleeve really-honestly-truly open science. So their results need to be treated with care. That said, they themselves are extremely rigorous, top-notch scientists. They want you to trust them. Not that you shouldn't. Trust---but verify. That's currently not possible. I bet they're vindicated. But I can't check for myself.
"Is it worth the time and hassle?"

No.
"...uncontrolled by outside forces..."

Who validates the silicon and how is this accomplished? We've known for quite some time about the potential for rogue circuits hiding amongst the millions of transistors.

Something you should know about Be Here Now...

It was written during the brief period in Ram Dass' life when he wasn't taking LSD. He returned to the practice shortly thereafter, because he found that he needed the insight to stay on the path he had set for himself.

Also, Neem Karoli Baba never took the LSD; he performed a magician's pass and hid it in his clothing. So all that nonsense about his guru taking 900 mikes and not changing consciousness was just that, nonsense.

NK Baba later ground the LSD up with some holy ash and gave it to his closest disciples, who were blown away by the holiness and power of his darshan, no doubt.

Reference: the interview with Ram Dass in Zig Zag Zen.
Interesting numbers: an average of ~$6 worth of transactions per day per reader sent out. I'm sure 95% of the readers are unused. I wonder how they count revenue too - like what does that $59k today mean?

So $2 million divided by 23k payments today is $85... A fairly high average transaction size, I'm assuming because they have a number of contractors/art sellers that skew the number much higher. What's interesting is that those guys would probably be better off with a standard merchant account (depending on how much they are transacting per month)
http://feefighters.com/square-calculator

But they probably went with Square because it's easy. This totally flies in the face of what I earlier thought, that square was being used primarily for low dollar transactions.
I am alive. I doubt I would be if I hadn't taken LSD at the right time.

(not trying to invalidate your argument at all, btw. and I am not saying that LSD is the only way or the best way it could happen. But it's the way how it did happen.)
Hm... now you have me wondering if I could slip a circular chain of ownership past the chambers of commerce here.

I'm pretty sure you could bootstrap this:

Person 'X' incorporates company 'A' and receives the shares.

Company 'A' incorporates company 'B'.

Company 'B' makes some money.

Company 'B' buys the shares of company 'A' from person 'X'.

Presto, no more people involved, just two companies owning each other. It might even be possible to have company 'A' buy the shares of company 'A' directly of the person that incorporated it, so it would own itself.

You'd have to fiddle with the valuation during the transaction because you're using the company capital to do the purchase, essentially ending with a valuation (temporarily) of zero when the transaction has completed after which the company would have to create some more income to become liquid again.

Tricky. Very much tempted to try this.
We were building a game for Nickelodeon that was designed to run on the iPad 1 in the browser. The first pass of the game used Box2D for collision detection, under the assumption that they'd done a ton of work optimizing it with AABB trees/etc and everything would just work.

It didn't. The first version of the game was brutally slow and every time we did a touch collision detection, it would lag like crazy.

Out of frustration, we ripped out Box2D entirely and replaced it with naive O(n) box testing and hand-written motion code, thinking that we'd add in some optimizations later on to make it more performant. It turns out that this was fast enough without any further optimizations and we shipped it. The overhead of using a physics system was enough to bog down the iPad 1's poor non-JIT JS engine.

Fortunately there's enough spare cycles in modern tablets that a little bit of overhead from a physics engine isn't going to be a problem, although I'd wager there's a handful of Android tablets out there still as weak as the iPad 1.
That is true. I don't want people setting up a dead man's switch under the belief that it's a foolproof plan to avoid jail time.
I feel this belongs in /r/startups or /r/entrepreneur.
Valve have said that Steam users have nothing to worry about regarding the PSN leak. Furthermore it seems very unlikely that Steam and PSN would have much in common (except for third-party payment processors) given that until very recently, they were completely unrelated. There is no evidence that your card was stolen due to using it on Steam, and I would advise against assuming correlation is equivalent to causation.

Speaking from personal experience, your bank might not even tell you promptly if someone else has your card details, they might just block all the fraudulent transactions and not replace your card for six months.
The "based on police reports" is also a false narrative

They are using a % of attendee's to come up with that, so if a "protest" was attended by 1,000 and only 10 people were arrested it was billed as "mostly peaceful" even though looting, fires, etc occurred.

It is a changing of the definition of what most reasonable people would consider a "peaceful protest"
> So you are going to move from one centralized, walled garden, privacy hostile platform that hard requires Google/Apple ecosystems to get signed updates... to another with identical drawbacks.

Ideally we'd have a polished, decentralized app. Signal is a compromise. I don't think the drawbacks are identical:

Facebook's business model depends on violatings the privacy of the users. The Signal Foundation has no such need.

The client is open source. I see no reason to call Signal "privacy hostile".
Can we stop using this word leader? What's wrong with the word manager?
"huge call for peace", feh.

It's like making a pie with a segment of apple pie and 7 segments of shit, and saying "Look at this beautiful apple pie I made you".

Or, to be closer to reality, it's you seeing Trump's shit pie (with a bit of apple) and announcing "Look the great apple pie Donald Trump made us!"
This is not nice, but remember they are merely doing what Google does, in the sense that all of their properties are inexorably and deeply linked.

The only surprise is that this was not done sooner.

WhatsApp is somewhat more essential for a lot of people, and contains more sensitive information, so this is not good.

At least with FB and Insta, you can just keep rubbish information stored in there.
The camera lens wouldn't produce the fisheye effect which they seem to enjoy. I don't think the camera lens would be any different to a high-end still photograph lens. Using a projector lens is the novelty here.
If you rarely write software then you are not moving towards mastery in engineering it. There is no such thing as a master painter who is primarily a manager of painters.

You can be a masterful manager, can deliver much more value than a single programmer, etc. But the engineering of software occurs primarily in the thinking about and directly working on it in its specifics.

There is legal oversight and reporting required from conventional cab companies. And yes this was very much from the early days of Uber - when people cheered on the fact that they identified regulators and refused to book rides for them so they couldn't formally record violations.
It’s arguably an inappropriate standard, but not a double standard. If as a human driver you drive a bunch but get into accidents frequently, they won’t make any allowances for the fact that you drive a lot when deciding whether to suspend your license.
There’s tons of videos of Waymo’s service in Chandler.
2048 went through a phase also. Everyone and their dog[0] was making a clone. The fad will die out in a few months and everyone will move onto the next one.

Sampling bias, confirmation bias.

Did you delete your link to tesladeaths.com because you realized the fine print about sketchy autopilot data contradicted your point? Oops!
On Android, this has been a project in Europe for a few years, called SoftPOS, that should be coming live in coming weeks/month (ie. be able to acquire a contactless card payment using only your phone- no other hardware).

Apple declined to be part of it and thus it was expected that they release there own version soon.
Last time I looked at a D.C. based job for another federal agency the answer was no. Considering the lower salaries and fact they don't cover relocation costs it's a pretty big downside.
I find it amazing that there is so little outrage at what is happening in the USA.

The country that paints itself as an example of freedom and democracy and aspires to spreading those values around the world is the same country that:

* kidnaps and tortures people,

* sets up a military prison with no civillian oversight, outside any legal jurisdiction, where it keeps people indefinitely,

* kills people in various countries using missiles launched from drones,

* interrogates its citizens as they come back from abroad, threatening them with detention or not letting them into the country,

* tightly controls the media and what information gets released from war zones,

* has a lawless "zone" extending 100 miles from its border, where laws are unclear, and people can be searched without warrant,

* seizes computers, accesses and copies data, threatens people so that they give up their passwords,

* uses scare tactics on security researchers (see story above) and whistleblowers (see all the wikileaks stories)

I come from a former-communist country that was under the Soviet influence. We fortunately no longer are. I think what I listed above is very visible to people like me, but somehow it goes under the radar of most Americans. I see it as classical secret police tactics, utilized in all totalitarian regimes, while Americans seem to see it as a necessary nuisance to "combat terrorism".

I find it even more amazing that instead of fighting back, people just discuss workarounds. Ship your data via FedEx, keep it online, wipe your drives, carry a laptop with an empty drive… This works today, but the way things are developing, it might not work tomorrow!

Wake up, people. In comparison to things I listed above the whole ridiculous story about the "naked scanners" is just a joke.
It could be worse. Here in the UK, they would have locked him up for refusing to hand over his passwords. The Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act makes it a specific criminal offence and people have been imprisoned for it. Personally, I'm worried that I might get locked up for refusing to decrypt the contents of /dev/urandom. I think we need to wake up to the fact that there are a lot of people in power who would prefer that strong cryptography be the exclusive preserve of government.
Great advice all around here - personally I'm a big fan of not "doing" seo but instead just making sure things are running in an SEO friendly manner.
I disagree, this is a "fallacy fallacy" - you named a fallacy which lumberjack (apparently) used, but that doesn't actually make the argument wrong.

And you seem to ignore the fact that getting a degree takes most people multiple years, and that "student" is an occupation. If you follow the evidence, people can't learn everything because it takes way too much time.
They're uncomfortable and inconvenient to keep with you once you're at your destination.

There is also potentially (depending on which studies you give credence) the danger of risk compensation causing helmeted cyclists to cycle more dangerously and automobile drivers to pass more closely to helmeted cyclists.
Nah. Unless you take out equity in your house, rising house prices mostly mean higher property taxes.

Now, inflation on the other hand, they now have a vested interest in, as it makes the loan easier to repay.

This all goes out the window if you're buying a new house every 3 years, of course.
Most of us (younger generation) living in the country think this is ridiculous. But these kind of things are not a surprising thing to us because government do whatever they want to do. It is pretty bad few years back. They can send someone to jail by making up some laws and giving no excuse.
Maybe they could have a package deal where for ~$100 you get ten ebooks and a "free" Kindle.
I'm afraid he doesn't see the underlying trend about higher energy availability from the end of the 18th century up to just a couple of years ago. For a more gloomy prospect, see this extremely interesting analysis of the long decline (3 centuries) of the Roman Empire : http://europe.theoildrum.com/node/5528
This seems to be more indicative of bad relationships, where the shopper is imposing on their partner. This is especially true if platitudes and not opinions are requested. Selfish, selfish selfish. Couple's outfits are a good reason to shop together. Judging her work outfits, which you see for 15 minutes a day, are not.

But, for common ground most guys should read Put This On and try to stay fashionable, even if it's Chucks, chinos and a decent t-shirt. (Comfortable to work in, too.) Purposeful clothes shopping is much more enjoyable than going to the local JC Penny's and buying 30 copies of the same, shitty outfit. This is especially true if you and your partner have at least one working hobby/moonlight in common, and would be seen together at an industry outing.

I don't know. I'm attracted to blunt, angry women who are self-confident, my opinion be damned.
I (and most others that I know) don't carry a social security card. There's virtually no need for it in daily life. If you even know where yours is, it's probably sitting next to your birth certificate in a drawer.

But we all know our number by memory.
Race to the bottom: You're doing it right.
Just to clarify it is not Aaron.
As long as there is no lock-in, I would support it.

If, however, we end up having a bunch of different readers each one locked into its own walled garden, I'm out.
If you live near the campus you can just go in and sit in the back and no one will really care. The paper is what you pay for the knowledge is free.
Nope. CGNAT is broken by design. It's bad enough trying to establish connections between two hosts that are behind NATs. It's worse when protocols have to traverse additional layers.
Thanks, I didn't know about that strategy!
Or they demonstrate that the CPU is throttling cores due to excessive heat. Compare the 24-core 3960x to the 32-core 3970x, and also look at the power consumed when running cores at 100% utilization. It would appear that the 3970x starts throttling the cores once ~21-22 cores are in full utilization, leading the 3970x to be only marginally faster than the 3960x, even though it has 50% more cores. EDIT: 3970x has a GeekBench score of 70655 (single-threaded: 5684) while 3960x has a score of 66676 (single-threaded: 5703; according to https://www.anandtech.com/show/15044/the-amd-ryzen-threadrip...). Meanwhile, power consumption per core starts dropping off significantly at 21 cores for both (https://www.anandtech.com/show/15044/the-amd-ryzen-threadrip...)
> It most certainly does.

No, it doesn't. It's a commonly believed myth among people who don't have a clue how IP works, though.

> If you have an insecure device behind a nat, say something with telnet sitting open, a port scanner from the outside won't be able to find it

Why not?
To paraphrase John Mulaney; If you are comparing two words and you can't even type one of them, that is the worse word.
There is a lot of money to be made on both sides of the issue.
Dont take these gains for granted. We're nearing the physical limit for current technologies. Transistors a handful of atoms across. My guess is in 20 years we will celebrate a 5 percent gain.
Like others have stated, the Japanese are very much xenophobic to outsiders. The idea of bringing a business to Japan seems unique but you aren't going to get any community support like you would in western countries.

Personally I view Japan has a oddity. A first world country that short of some tech and Toyota/Honda produce little to nothing for trade. Everything is imported which could land you into the red if the powers at be stop playing nice in trading with Japan.
Age discrimination laws don't protect against having your feelings hurt, it's there to prevent real issues like firing/not hiring someone because of age. So no, the "news story" is crap and you won't be fired for saying this or have an issue unless you're a 20-something CEO with a penchant for poor decision making.

Sounds strange to the modern ear though.
It's too bad he didn't discuss as well the potentials of hallucinogenic mushrooms, but thank you for this fascinating link! I suppose that would have taken an entire talk of its own though.
Why? Why do you want to be millionaire? A little introspection and self knowledge might lead you to your real goals more directly.

I've always been wildly successful at my goal - which was to be happy.
Browsing without v interacting without may be a better way to view it.
I stopped reading at describe every click. This guy is our worst nightmare who has worked with too many talentless hacks.
A complaint posted in HN is pretty good publicity (and defamation for Google). I'm sure they recognize how powerful HN can influence opinion.
Take a look at Sinatra (http://www.sinatrarb.com), and Haml (http://haml-lang.com/) If you will feel that you like this "descriptive" approach (Ruby is great for creating DSLs), then you probably will like RoR also.

In short, python is clean and very pragmatic, while ruby is nice and different. ^_^

Personally I think RoR3 is going very fast toward becoming a new J2EE - at least being equally popular and bloated. ^_^
Ah, my mistake. How many generations of the Mini have there been at this point?
It is the only way to get virtually any customer support from them.

^^fixed that for you.

We have one of these threads it seems every week. Across their entire range of products, Google is pretty hostile to their users the second something doesn't work correctly. The only way to get any help besides their bullshit automated responses or forums is to have enough web traffic to embarrass them into helping you. Eventually Matt Cutts or someone else will swoop in, but if you can't find the right place to publicly bitch or don't have enough traffic, they clearly don't give a shit less.

I've seen it personally enough so that I'm no longer integrating any more of their products into my life. What happens if eg you get google voice, give everyone you know your google phone number, and something breaks? I don't run duckduckgo nor do I post on the front page of techcrunch so I will simply be SOL...
For fun: go to http://milliondollarhomepage.com/pixellist.php and check out how many of these sites no longer exist.

True, you can’t completely prevent your kid from looking at pornography.

You can, however, prevent your kid from having a computer in his room where he can use it unmonitored for all hours of the night.
I'm particularly curious to hear of any optimization suggestions the HN crew might have.
I'd be wary of any such websites. Do you have a link or two so I know to avoid them?
