I think your missing the tactical advice here as well, which has to do with how you interact with other people. If you use the example of a piece of art that is going into a gallery, there is a huge difference in the advice you get at the 90% level (ie, you get color, lighting, framing, sequencing, perhaps media technicals). Whereas if you go in and get advice for your project at the 30% phase, you are likely to get feedback on the conceptualizations, themes, media choice, and perhaps even some research notes to follow up on. In other words, this is a similar distinction between what is the long-run and what is the short-run (answer: more variables are in play). So at the most extreme level of abstraction you are correct, but this post is more about understanding there are multiple levels of abstraction over which to optimize. And I do think that's a good lesson for people who are in creative/invetive/entrepreneurial endeavors. Getting an idea to 'gel' or to 'crystalize' is a hugely different process than getting one 'polished'.
What about the "Number of assignments per HIT" field? It says "How many unique workers do you want to work on each HIT?", it sounds to be what is needed here...
I do a few things.

1. The forwarding user has no group access, and not even write permission for its own home directory.
2. Shell is /bin/false, password is disabled.
3. The SSH public key format actually takes options (man ssh-keygen, -O) which allow it to only be used for port forwarding.

Usually I go through the whole chroot rigamarole, and you certainly could here, but I got lazy and I think these directions will suffice for most people.

This makes me reasonably happy about having a passwordless login to one of my servers.

Hate to be a spoilsport, but ...

$30K (there are 5 prizes altogether) seems cheap to get an "irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide right and license" to several spell-checker implementations, particularly since you give Microsoft indemnity if they "accidentally" use your approach. You even have to agree that you won't ever ask for additional compensation or credit.

I would consider only if VCs have 100% home run record on their investment so far with investment sample size of at least 10. I don't think any such VC exist so NO.
Assuming some worst case scenario, how many people would need to be on another planet for the species to survive? Would 1 million be enough to support the necessary technical infrastructure independent of the Earth?

If it isn't independent of the Earth then what's the urgency? Would having the same number of people on/in Earth, inside an independent ecosystem ("Biosphere III", perhaps?) be sufficient safety net? That would be a lot cheaper.

The presumes that the author's stated goal of species survival is the only goal in advocating the colonization of other planets.

I believe there are gaps and omissions in the text.

"most recent 2 millennia living as farmers" -- that should be about 6 millennia.

"there is no evidence that modern humans have ever gone extinct on a continent or a large island." -- what, the Vikings on Greenland aren't modern enough while 1602 is?

"Detection of a large asteroid on a collision course with Earth would no doubt precipitate a frantic scramble to retrofit existing missiles to deliver a nuclear explosive to deflect it toward a less terrifying trajectory." -- except I thought there were more effective ways than nuking it to another orbit. Nuclear weapons have a lot of energy but not a lot of momentum. A mass driver, or a gravity tow, or a number of other techniques seem more appropriate from what I've read.

"which each killed more than 200,000 people provide powerful reminders of the vulnerability of our species to natural disasters." -- not at all. That's 0.003% of the species. If anything, it shows the vulnerability of an human but the resiliency of our species.

I can even argue that having more people, including those living in dangerous places, means more chances for survival. If we all uniformly lived away from Vesuvius, from tornado alley, from tsunami prone areas, and instead only lived in the safest, then we increase the chances that an unexpected event (asteroid, anyone?) at just the wrong spot can destroy everyone.

That's only hand-waving, which is what the author does all over the place.
From another article in the home page today (http://edition.cnn.com/2010/TECH/web/12/24/ex.google.employe...):

But abandoning Google hasn't always proved to be a wise or
permanent move. Anna Patterson left the company in 2007 to
start a rival search engine called Cuil. When that tanked, she
returned to Google in September.
Take care using recently added Unicode entries, unless you have some control of your user-base and when they update or are providing a custom font that you know has those items represented. You could be giving out broken-looking UI to many if their setup does not interpret the newly assigned codes correctly.
You could infer the camera position and angle using Structure from Motion (SfM) and then stabilize the video from that but I'm guessing you'd get a lot of error built up in the process and it would be questionable how much stabilization you'd get in the end but it would be interesting to see how well it would work.
Post to Github!

This may not help you in the moment, but will help substantially in the future.

There's not much opportunity for HTML and CSS. Those are pretty much required. WordPress you may have more lower level opportunities.

What about working in Python? Super easy to get going and post some basic apps to Github. If you're active, that will help prove that you are a passionate learner (look what I did MOM!)

Everyone says they are "eager" or "passionate" or "crazy about", "can't live without, without any proof.

Seriously, MeetUps and Github is the next step.
Interestingly enough, this article isn't about vaccinations.
It's not constantly producing data though.
In my experience, developers' top 3 mistakes in this area are:

1. Convincing themselves they have "big data" instead of just "data". If it fits in RAM on your laptop, it's definitely not "big".

2. Thinking an example of "sophisticated analytics" is "Average over time with no standard deviation".

3. Resume Driven Development over pragmatic solutions that get stuff done.
Not really. I want a replacement for Skype (just for text chat). That includes desktop.
I've been learning iOS development recently (in Swift) and have been trying to create a few simple apps that teach me something and are (hopefully) fairly useful.

This is my second iOS app (and my first iPad app). Hopefully someone will find it useful, I've already used it quite a bit.

Have written a tiny bit about it here: http://timdavies.io/blog/manuals-app

RHEL and Fedora are open source products (and this is the sole reason CentOS and ScientificLinux are able to exist).

Since Nginx Plus will not be open source I do not see how this is a valid comparison.

Yes, following the money is good.

But in this case, there is even more predictive and explanatory power found in Sunstein's track record. He has written extensively over a long career. His thoughts on the First Amendment are well-documented.
The slope doesn't get slipperier just because you find out you are standing on it.

There probably is a reckoning to be had about how access to social media is mediated, that social media companies have demonstrated the technical ability and willingness to do it doesn't limit future options to regulate how they do it.
Right, the person who now has that title was involved in the revolution, but thank you for sharing, maybe that is a new fact to someone.
Can you provide an example of a public trust from the 20th century?

I'm aware of "trust busting" in an earlier time, but not nationalizations, except, predominantly, in time of war.
Why would it be weird? Is there an alternate perspective where the nation's capitol wasn't ransacked by a hostile mob?

> In a country where you can buy guns in supermarkets

You can also buy ps5’s in supermarkets. Is the absurd part that you could buy non food related items in a supermarket or that supermarkets have devolved into a one stop shop for everything?

It’s not just related to guns
I have been thinking about this a lot lately. I personally know many conservatives who do not support Trump, have never supported him, and are now scared.

I wonder - will any sane person vote R for the next decade? What would that do to your image? Best case scenario the Reps clean up their act. Worse case scenario the US becomes a one-party system when our corporate overlords realize they can just get rid of any politicians they don't like.
Yes we should ban everybody who shows open disagreement and doesn't take the party line in the serious manner we see fit.

I am not trolling, I am highlighting the absurd manner in which so many HN commenters have suddenly become champions of Stalinistic censorship by all these multinational corporations.

Yes, it's a great idea for the community to ban people who say things which are unpopular. That will lead to a very healthy community filled with free thought and critical thinking.
Interesting, never thought of figuring out the model!

The cover was made by a freelancer I found on 99designs.com (I'm really happy about that experience, BTW - and I have nothing to do with them, I just liked the service). The pistol looks good and the image was royalty-free, which is probably why the freelancer chose it.

But in retrospect you're right, I should have checked. The only pistol specifically mentioned in the novel is a "H&K" (not even the model), but there are many other anonymous ones. This CZ-75 could be one of these :)
Most sites that enable PFS do so with solid ECDH. It's hard to find PFS configuration guidelines that will give you breakable conventional DH groups.

The latter half of AGL's post is about systems security, not (really) the cryptographic security of TLS. It's about things you can do that would make NSA owning up your servers a greater or lesser threat to previously encrypted TLS sessions.
I think you have a valid point with body language allowing you to know if someone understands or objects to something but now with free and reliable video conferencing I think this can be somewhat negated.

I've worked both in house and remotely and in some companies I may as well have been remote with everyone chatting via skype/hipchat anyway even though we were in the same office.

I think remotely it is easier to gauge team-mates output and progress via git commits and communication that is clear and direct. Sometimes in an office environment louder or more popular team members appear to have a higher output due to bias/likeability from managers/team-mates.
I think it's only a portion of the issue - another difference is that the US has a true constitution-based legal system.
Anything at all with strftime: Use %Y instead of %G. It's a C function, but many languages (Perl/Python/Ruby/etc.) expose it through their own datetime libraries.
No, he probably got one of the many CirrOS boxes, which tell you the username and password, alongside a kind note that the default user has full sudo privileges.
Thanks! I'm the author of the story. The NPR Visuals team works really hard to make stuff that is substantial but that people still want to read online. Obviously we're still learning and have a long way to go, but I share your hope and we'd love your feedback on how to make it better. A goal is to figure out how to do long form using some of these techniques.

For what it's worth the code that drives the story is open source: http://github.com/nprapps/lookatthis/
I find it quite interesting that a lot of these About boxes have the programmers names - not something you see so much of these days, except maybe in games where there's a show credits option.
Well, parent said "Constitution", so the link would have to be this: http://www.sos.mo.gov/pubs/missouri_constitution.pdf

That said, I'm not finding it with a little searching and skimming. I do see gaming revenues restricted to education...
Wow. This takes me back. I sat in front of an SE/30 for a long while...
Agreed. I think the Snowden revelations have harmed the NSA's reputation to the point where most people on HN just assume NSA is a bond-level villain. The NSA serves a purpose, they are meant to be prepared offensively and defensively for the USA's security, which includes the internet. I have no problems with the NSA's purpose and would prefer they continue to exist and prepare against threats to the country.

I do believe the NSA overstepped their mandate in domestic surveillance, and should be held accountable, but let's not forget that this world does have bad guy's - plenty of nations would lose no sleep at night if they hurt America.
> You are trying to dilute the impact the racist history of US has had on minorities via the justice system.

Hasn't anyone told you that you learn more with questions than assertions?

No. I'm saying that the language used is throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Regardless of all the stuff you mentioned, which is true, the system is still a benefit.

You should not go out of your way to further weaken trust in the system that has benefitted those minorities you mention more than it has hurt them. Especially as you are presumably not those groups, you should be careful not to wreck what they have. (You may not be aware, but white 'progressives' often speak for people of color. Their messages sound like ones of support initially, but because these people are often merely social signaling the rhetoric can often prove harmful to people who have to live with it.)

> [...] all disproportionately impact minority groups compared to Caucasians

Some minorities, yes. Others, no. Deeply troubling to the white v black narrative is that Nigerian immigrants often do very well in the USA, even when Americans don't know if they're american-descendants-of-slavery or not.

But yes, ADoS do have it rough. If you want to support someone though, vague "minorities" is not how you do it.

> Per the Innocence Project, 70% of the cases

You can't use that stat in that way, presumably they picked the most egregious cases which would be the poorest, etc.

"In 2014, the ground-breaking Ley de Rompientes, or 'law of the breakers', came into effect, making Peru the first country in the world to give its waves legal protection. Under the law, the development of infrastructure, oil and gas exploration and fishing activities that could harm top-quality surf spots were restricted. More than once it has halted activity in Lobitos that risked disturbing the waves. The law has been seen as so effective that surfers in Chile are now campaigning for their own version. [...]"
You're making my point for me. BTC has no value. To be useful, I need it to be something else.

I got pretty lucky with this stock. Bought at 144, sold at 470 in the last rally. Bought back in at 45, sold at 69 today. Wish I set my limit sell to much higher, I didn't know it was going to rally so hard again.

>>>> In future conventional wars, we will need the moral authority to demand that our prisoners be treated in accordance with international laws and treaty obligations.

A little wrinkle here is that most US adversaries in recent wars didn't give a flying duck about US moral authority. And there's no reason why that would change - it's not like US is going to war with Sweden or Canada. Not that supposedly civilized countries aren't capable of mass atrocities - look at what Germans did in 20th century. Did they care for the moral authority of the Jews they mass-murdered? I highly doubt so.

Moral authority is important only for US and only because winning the war while destroying one's society may not be worth it.

>>>> The difference is, his actions had some positive consequences as well as negative ones.

You mean, actions of US government don't have positive consequences? I think you're getting way ahead of the facts here.
I wonder what doses they're using.

During my 20s-30s, I tripped with about 0.5 mg LSD more or less once month. It at least kept bipolar depression at bay.

But now I use lamotrigine/modafinil. Which is less fun, but also more effective and less disruptive.
>So if you have a bad experience from the drugs, it was because you weren't in a positive headspace?

You can always test out this hypothesis by doing a tab of LSD from the same batch twice while controlling for your headspace. One day, you do it with a positive headspace, and another day you do it with a negative one. If you had a great experience the first time and a bad experience the second time, clearly the headspace alignment made the difference.

Yes, this kind of testing isn't as rigorous as it would have been for a legitimate scientific trial (which I bet we will see in the future as the research into the area accelerates), but imo it is more than just a No True Scotsman backed by broscience.

And of course, no one says that a negative headspace is the only reason for someone to have a bad experience, there are others for sure. For example, certain people with predisposition for schizophrenia probably should abstain as well. AFAIK psychedelics won't cause a schizophrenia in an otherwise healthy person, but I heard it might kick off an early onset if you were going to get a schizophrenia in a few years without any psychedelics anyways.
You're referring to your own risk tolerance that is unfounded in most modern workplaces. If you work in tech absolutely no employer does drug tests for employment. People talk about microdosing LSD openly.

Michael Pollen wrote a best selling book about his experience with psychedelics earlier this year. Tim Ferris funded a research institute at John Hopkins and talks about it on his podcast all the time.

Unless you work for the federal gov't you're catastrophizing the risk.

These social media companies have suddenly found their spine now that the Trump administration had less than two weeks left. Where was that courage when they had something to lose?
"Software should be built in the best method of delivering maximum value to its users."

Yes, and defaulting to insecure, thus repeatedly causing huge data breaches, is the exact opposite of delivering maximum value to users. It's delivering maximum liability.
With the past few releases they’ve actually been removing things from the legacy control panel, forcing me to use the new Settings. Sometimes the old options I want just aren’t there, since the new settings are always so oversimplified.
Not exactly. Incorporating a world or domain model usually means taking pre-existing declarative knowledge in some form (e.g. from a semantic net) and using it to aid learning.

To quote the article, "Model-based reinforcement learning aims to address this issue by first learning a model of the environment’s dynamics, and then planning with respect to the learned model."

So they've sped up learning from examples by learning a model first, but it's still learning from examples.
That's great - thank you for sharing, Daniel.

I'm interested though in why you chose video as your chosen format? I've read lots of your writings through the years here on HN and you're clearly a writer. What's the reason behind the Youtube option? Just curious.

Thanks again - shared.
It's really difficult to imagine the proposed approach panning out as intended - the infrastructure for STS wasn't set up for really quick turn arounds. STS's conceptual design was pitched that way (shuttles going up several times a week), but that didn't pan out in design. And the Challenger accident can be blamed in part on a management culture that took too long to accept their engineers telling them that.

As terrible as the Columbia accident was, I think this approach (with so many checks skipped to get Atlantis up as quick as possible) would have ended in the loss of both crews & orbiters. And I think if the Columbia crew knew the full extent of the situation, and also knew of this sort of rescue in the works, they probably would have pressed mission control to just let them try the re-entry themselves.
What next? I want horses, not cars?

Sorry but crapping about ecosystems is crapping on a fundamental construct of human organization.
Ive been doing this with my own startup. I am about 30% there (regarding talking to investors about it) and as such I have reached out to investors I am friendly with and asked for feedback.

Most of the feedback I have received was "you are about 25% there" which validated my assumption of not quite being ready to approach people for money, and it has allowed me to refine and adapt my pitch accordingly.

It was much easier to get feedback from people when I told them I was just starting out, instead of telling them I am ready to receive money. This opened them up to positive and constructive feedback that is helping me get closer to my goal.
