Yes, the DNA encoded information is classic (please do not consider my comments as any kind of an endorsment of the OP article). But, as I said, this is only a half of the information you need to get any sensible predictions of the results. The rest is defined by folding, and it is very much quantum (heuristics aside).

> Proof?

I never heard of any polymerase simulation which did not involve computational quantum chemistry methods. Cannot even think of any possible classic approximation (again, heuristics aside - they're just masking the quantum nature of the underlying physics).

EDIT: as for transcription, do not forget about the operons. Theirs molecular mechanics is also very quantum.

Hi there,

It sounds like you're talking about a friend who did some interesting things, but there isn't enough context here for readers to make sense of the post. Perhaps you could expand and explain?
The new structure won't affect the EU's investigations, as you had stated earlier. All the components the EU will whine about are still under the Google subsidiary (Search, Maps, YouTube, Android).

The only companies exiting from Googles purview are Calico, Nest, Fiber, Ventures, Capital,and X. None of which were likely candidates for antitrust prosecution.
I would say both statements are justified. Transitive property being what it is
She has no idea what she is talking about. Nobody is running static analysis on source code and sending her results. She's mixed up a lot of concepts here and is just plain wrong.
Without giving too much away, I was sufficiently surprised by that that I downloaded the Sophos for Mac Home Edition. It does recognise it.

Here's what I get: http://i.imgur.com/JQzVsQf.png

This was picked up by the on-access scanner and a manual scan. The Web Protection doesn't complain about the text in a page (rightly or wrongly).

Are you using a centrally managed version (i.e. not Home Edition)?
What's an example of a "functional database"? Datomic? What's the most deployed functional database?

It's misleading to say that compilers are databases if they're not anything like databases people use and know. Probably a more accurate title would have been "Compilers are like functional databases".

Storage is obviously an important part of database architecture. If a compiler doesn't deal with storage, there's only so much resemblance that a compiler and a database can have.
There are. But, they are inherently limited. Via fixed supply and fixed pricing.
The submitted title ('Oracle CSO: ~“Only we can do security, trust us and do not reverse engineer”') breaks the HN guidelines: it's editorialized (whatever one thinks of the article), and it's a quote-looking-thing that isn't a quote, so misleading.

Please don't do this. The HN guidelines ask you to use the original title. If that's really not suitable, a subtitle or some representative language from the article is ok. But putting your own spin on it is not ok. HN's goal is to let readers make up their own minds, and for that we need accurate, neutral titles.

We've changed the title to a representative phrase from the article, and can change it again if someone suggests something better.
It's little more than a year ago that Brendan Eich was ousted from Mozilla by an ugly orchestrated cabal. When I read Mitchell Baker's vapid blog post [1] on the decision, filled with polite backstabbing and politically correct buzzwordery I understood that Mozilla has been taken over by politicians and that its decline is just a matter of time.

Clojure seems too high level for SICP. Scheme was a perfect fit because of how simple it is and how few language features or data structures it contained. You had to build everything yourself, which was kind of the point.
Maybe "new internet people" or "normal people" don't even know "lol" anymore. Back in the days we spend our youth in IRC or bbs where these abbreviations were common. But nowadays people connect with people they already know in real life on facebook and talk with them like they would in real life. (to a certain degree ;-) )
This explains so much about the sorry state of Oracle security. I hope Litchfield lets loose on them again.

Agreed. And I hope that does happen. This is the best chance for Google to clear out the air around all the privacy and transparency issues it has been tackling. However I do wonder if that indeed is the plan.

For example, Google would not want to miss on the data from its Fiber or Auto or Nest projects say. It is too valuable to not include as part of a user's profile.

If anything, I feel it can lead to just making the situation even more muddy. What happens to all the Terms and conditions? Privacy policies? Would they, or even can they, stay merged?
About to watch the video, In the past I've thought about trying to model llvm code inside datomic and doing transforms with the help of datalog queries.
I think you mean "symmetric" rather than "transitive", and the "is a" relation isn't symmetric. (We know this from OOP -- i.e. the Liskov substitution principle.)

A database is an interpreter because it has a lexer, parser, byte code compiler, optimizer, interpreter loop, etc. It also has a storage layer (i.e. the B-tree implementation, paging, etc.).

A compiler (like javac) or interpreter isn't a database because it doesn't have a storage layer.

Even a "functional database" has to have a storage layer!
Too bad Microsoft bought it, and shut it down though :/
That's why grinding wheels have such huge diameter (inner grinding is much harder because of that), clamps are typically non-distorting (magnetic) and the force involved is a very small fraction of what happens during normal turning/milling.

In finish grinding after your setup the trick is to remove very little per pass so the workpiece does not warm up which would cause it to expand removing too much material. That's why you use coolant and not so much a cutting fluid (this also helps to flush out the residue from the stone and the material being ground). A single pass will remove a fraction of a micrometer (100 to 500 nm) and you count passes.

Another thing to keep in mind is that a lathe with an accuracy of motion of 1u produces workpieces with a diameter accuracy of 2u.

Doing this repeatably is really hard, and doing it in absolute terms is witchcraft of a higher order.

Usually accuracy of a ground product is not only about the diameter or some other dimension of the workpiece but about flatness of the surface or roundness (runout).
kg is a unit of mass.The Si unit of force is the Newton.

Tell HN: I Got Out of the Nuthouse This Afternoon
Voluntary this time.

I went to Emergency because I experienced brain seizures all day last Monday (2015-08-03). Most were very brief lapses of consciousness; my mental experience is quite difficult to describe but was somewhat like falling asleep briefly while driving a car far too many hours.

My whole body twitched three times in ten minutes early that evening. The third twitch was quite violent.

They asked me to admit myself to Vancouver's Telecare psychiatric inpatient hospital because I experiences Somatic Illness for a couple hours after I got to Emergency. I was completely convinced - at first - that I had tachycardia and severe cardiac arhythmia, but an EKG proved that my heart was normal.

"My heart monitor demonstrates that my heart is normal but I am experiencing a heart attack."

"Are you having a heart attack."

"No."

"I am experiencing a heart attack. That's quite a different thing than actually having a heart attack."

She and I went back and forth on this for five minutes then:

"Did you even hear one single word I said?"

Anger is NOT a symptom of mental illness if that anger is appropriate.

Even so, my pointing out that medical and law enforcement professionals commonly slack on the job gets me admitted or even arrested on a damn near continuous basis.

Just today I was arguing for not moving something off of Oracle. No one's really happy the thing in question is on Oracle, but it is live in production and most of the time does what it needs to. It ain't broke. Changing to "something else" carries way too many unknowns for my comfort level.

If I'd read this last night... I still would've argued the same thing, but I would've been really unhappy about it.
Apple, under Jobs in particular, reminded me of the schoolyard "cool kids" that would verbally piss all over something until they themselves could afford it.

I don't understand the part about the variance of the tree type. Couldn't he just use the unit/top type as a type parameter for untyped trees, rather than the nothing/bottom type? Not only does that seem more intuitively correct, but it would also give the right subtype relationship.

My family comes from a small Spanish village just like those in the article, and they have more than one broadband provider offering service (ADSL, no fiber yet, IIRC). You can also get a decent 4G signal if you're lucky not to be blocked by any mountain.

If you were to fill a full village with well-off people, I think you could get some ISP to connect you.
Go ahead and help teach them, no-one is stopping you.
I saw lots of similar locations through my young years in Spain. Ultimately, it's just a somewhat damaged weather containment in the form of a pile of stones and mortar, with no other utility advantages than a dirt road, maybe a nearby river and some flat lots for home farming.

The only real advantage over any other random off the grid country side location is that building permits are a lot easier on existing constructions, even if they are crumbling and they have to be completely rebuilt.

There are too many points to discuss... it's really quite insane especially on the backs of Java exploit after Java exploit.

But what I really don't get is this bug bounty hateathon. If it's only 3% of bugs (currently WITHOUT incentives like a bug bounty), then that's really not that much money... and in return you get more cred, something you might use for recruitment, and the off chance that you might increase that 3% versus something going on the black market. Even more so, how much could this really cost!? And Oracle has how much money?! If you can't spend that on a bug bounty when you're security is just so awesome as the post contends, then something is really in trouble.
I find myself attributing this to the constantly hammered home message from Apple and MS about how easy computer use is.

Therefore when something is "not easy" (aka, breaks with people's rote learning), people having trouble will not admit it. As it will in their mind be the equivalent of admitting they are stupid.

Idealism and duct-tape- they are holding the world-view together..

Specialisation always was this species strong point. Acceptance that the user might have his strong-point elsewhere and is so nice as to not harass you with his worldview. Imagine if you went into your local bakery, and there behind the counter stands a guy all in white:

"Good morning. Try our donuts today. You could make donuts too. Its easy. Come on ill show you. And then you will be self reliant when it comes to donuts. There are thousands of great recipes online - okay, some are broken, but you dont get to become a expert in donut making - without giving a little bit back..
Sir, Sir - you forgot your Donuts. Maybe he is diabetic and forgot - or evil cooperate donut buyer - or the one dough ring to bind them all is too much of a power.."

With great specialisation comes great loss off understanding on other parts of your life.
PrimeUI 2.1 Released
So, I disagree with the poster on a bunch of things here (no surprise, really).

But: this is authentic. This is what we (i.e. hackers) are always claiming we want. Someone speaking her mind, shooting from the hip, etc. Not an anodyne blob of corporate-speak: this is an opinion, stated pretty clearly, and backed up with fighting words.

You'd expect: "Our legal team has advised us to remind consultants that they are bound by any and all terms and conditions to which their clients have ... etc. etc. etc."

You get: "Otherwise everyone would hire a consultant to say (legal terms follow) “Nanny, nanny boo boo, big bad consultant can do X even if the customer can’t!”"

Here we have someone who clearly loves the company and the product with a passion, defending both against what she sees (very wrongly, in my opinion) as criminal misuse and waste of resources.

I'll take one of these posts and argue its merits any day, over a block of mealy-mouthed corporate crap.
> If I want to be able to continue this process, I will need to sign the extension myself

This seems like a good approach to me. Instead of Mozilla itself signing developers' extensions, why can't Mozilla issue certificates so developers can sign their own extensions locally? If a developer turns rogue, Mozilla can revoke their certificate.
Is the skills gap real?
I can't think of many OSS projects that aren't being manipulated by a strong community of liberals.
Just reading this thread made me angry, as I remembered every time I've been angry.
There may be too much paranoia here.

The thing is, I don't think avoiding Windows 10 is an overreaction at this point.

The default behaviour is highly intrusive. The accompanying privacy policy makes it clear that Microsoft are allowing themselves to hoover up large amounts of personal data. (The first warning sign is that desktop software even needs a privacy policy.)

The new business model, starting with giving Windows 10 away for free and aiming to make money on what you do with it instead, is a fundamental shift from previous Microsoft products under the Windows brand.

Finally, for most users, updates are now automatic and can't be turned off. That means any workarounds that are contrary to Microsoft's new business model can simply be turned off remotely by Microsoft. Nothing you configure in any settings or block in any firewall hosted on the Windows device itself can be trusted.

It's only paranoia if they're not out to get you.

Seriously, I think it is a mistake to talk non-tech family and friends out of using Windows 10. Just help them make the right privacy settings.

You can't make the right privacy settings in this context. They don't appear to exist as far as I can see, but even if they do, they can be altered against your will later. Microsoft's new business model motivates them to do exactly that, and with the Windows 10 terms and privacy policy, you are explicitly consenting to this kind of user-hostile behaviour when you install the OS.

I think it is a mistake not to talk anyone you know out of using Windows 10. You can opt out of using on-line services like Google or Facebook if you are concerned about your privacy. But if you can't even trust your own desktop OS, you essentially have no privacy at all the moment you switch on your computer. Even for a generation that thinks nothing of sharing a lot of personal thoughts and photos on social networks, that is a big step.

I never watch videos (what's wrong with you, post-literates? Forgot how to read and write?), so commenting on the title only.

Yes, compilers indeed have a lot in common with databases. Datalog (and therefore a relational algebra) is a very powerful tool for implementing compiler passes, for asking questions about the AST or various IRs.

EDIT: I'm talking about things like this: http://people.csail.mit.edu/mcarbin/papers/aplas05.pdf
Just a piece of opinion. Here comes the essence of it:

"No doubt, there will be conspiracy theorists who seek to explain the move. Some will say that it was his family, his health, his board, ambitious employees. These musings are worthy of the shredder. The one theory that I think is closest to the truth is that Larry Page suffered from Sergey Brin envy."

Opting into a FF program is voluntarily exchanging your personal info and loyalty to a brand for benefits in pricing. How is that the same as an OS uploading your information from a local search by default in an opt-out model? I'm really not trying to be snarky, I genuinely think I'm missing some point here.
Consider what Facebook tries to with its Messenger app, I bet $5 that in 3-5 years, US will get its own ASIAN messaging app~

I talked to an Uber driver who said he previously drove a cab for 15 years (in NYC). His biggest complaint was the medallion rental fee, it comes out to over $100 per day (around $150 at peak I think?), even when you're sick or you want to take a vacation. You just can't, you can't afford it.

He shared a cab with a rented medallion with a friend, they would each do a shift each day. One week there was some serious engine trouble, and the cab was in the shop for a week, neither of them could drive it. He called the medallion owner to ask for leniency, and was told that if he wanted, the medallion would be removed and he would be out of a job. Otherwise he can continue paying over $100 per day.

Apparently the accounting with uber doesn't penalize you to the same degree when you need to take a day off, even with car payments and such for maintaining a nicer car.
...unless the hackers also fabricated those and backdated them. Maybe that's giving them too much credit, but unless a trusted person claims to have read them in the past (and has perfect memory to claim they are unaltered too), or a trusted archive claims to have downloaded them in the past, how can you know?
The PRC has had a historical policy of linking the RMB to the dollar. That made sense when they were primarily reliant on exports to the US, but now that their exports are diversified and they have massive domestic demand, a float and inflation peg like we have in the US is a much more sensible policy.

The US dollar has an absurdly high valuation, so the sensible thing for the RMB (and most other currencies) is to devalue with respect to USD.

Tyler Cowen has a broader and more pessimistic view, my point is captured in his point 6: http://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2015/08/six...
I laughed at this line where she tries to prove her point by touting that Oracle already found a bug that a security researcher reported to them (but wasn't fixed yet):

"(Small digression: I was busting my buttons today when I found out that a well-known security researcher in a particular area of technology reported a bunch of alleged security issues to us except – we had already found all of them and we were already working on or had fixes. Woo hoo!)"
I'm definitely not a DB guy, but Datomic was the first thing that came to mind. You could also include databases that require linear consistency like etcd if you consider "functional databases" to be any database that represents state as a function of time.

There was an early slide that explicitly said FRP and functional databases were inspiration for the compiler design, but I do agree that the title should have reflected that fact.
You absolutely should be concerned about things getting out as much as things getting in.

Things getting in can damage your data, but that is what back-ups are for. On the other hand, things getting out can leak your data, which is likely to be a one-way trip and, depending on the type of data, potentially a very expensive one.

Of course things getting in can also interfere with your device's normal operation, and in the brave new world of always-online systems and reprogrammable everything, if your system does get compromised today it may be extremely difficult to reliably clean it. The days of booting from a operating system's install CD and reformatting as a reliable recovery mechanism have long passed. This is not a good thing.
