True, though if you compare roughly equivalent Nvidia and AMD GPUs, my impression is that the CUDA implementation on Nvidia still outperforms OpenCL on AMD for deep learning. Is this right?

AMD cards are a lot cheaper, would be good to be able to use them for deep learning too - https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/2zgpj8/15000_nvidia_...

And new fast, low power FPGA's from Altera support OpenCL.

As far as I can see the only difference in this perspective that btrfs can't do merges or rebases. Though for the simple usecase mentioned on the site I think btrfs is well suitable too (website deployment with easy rollbacks).
I guess my point is that I can arm-chair quarterback all I want, but their business doesn't seem to end up hurt by their tactics (which look self-destructive to me), so perhaps my view is not 100% accurate.
It's great that git is super fast, but it seems like it would be pretty horrible at handing the binary files that would be needed for actual filesystem applications.

The Ecudardian embassy/Assange demanded from the Swedes that they agree to something that they legally cannot agree to before interviewing him. It's not really fair to blame the Swedish authorities for that.
This is very interesting, but I wonder: how do you guys handle abuses? Especially when it comes to sharing the home connection to the 'outer' Internet with strangers.
Do you keep logs? If so, how do you handle the privacy part?

I think in part this is a problem that also Tor relay owners have (minus the log keeping obviously).
Ecuador was requiring that Sweden agree to something that they legally cannot agree to.

Update:

> “As a condition to let Assange be heard they [Ecuador] have demanded a special agreement in which Sweden recognizes asylum status for Assange. But the government cannot make such a commitment because it is the Migration Board which decides whether or not a person has the right to asylum.”

Totally awesome, thanks. Could you break down costs (ideally in dollars) for getting a network up and running. To clarify, how much would infrastructure cost initially for the setup and also to the end user. How much did it cost to connect those 30k nodes, how many people are served and what kind of speed and bandwith are you seeing?

Sorry to lob a ton of ?s at you but this is SUPER INTERESTING.

Thanks.

>skateboarding is easy!

True, but it's hard to look cool on a skateboard. I've been skating for over 10 years now and it's really easy to tell when someone is a beginner (nothing wrong with that). The difference is that the experienced skater rides the board, while the beginner looks like they're chasing after it. Easy to learn, hard to master.
Yeah, but the BBC are rewriting an Assange press-release, not a Swedish press-release.
For write support you obviously have to mount a branch. Can you mount tags or commits read-only? It would be really useful actually.

Actually I can't see a use case where I would mount it read-write. For developing a website you possibly do not want to commit on every write. Possibly git's limitations on large files still apply to this implementation. For large number of small files: what does it do when I cp like 1000 files into it? Does it create 1000 commits?
What we learned from designing 200 pitch decks
David Bagget has been commenting here occasionally, he wrote some very interesting advice recently:

https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=dmbaggett

"When we made Crash Bandicoot (with a team of 7), it was already virtually impossible to make a AAA game with 6-10 people, and that was 20 years ago.
I tell inexperienced entrepreneurs to take their honest best estimate and multiply by 10. Or, as Mark Cerny (our producer on Crash) used to tell us, "add one and increase the unit: 1 week = 2 months; 2 months = 3 years; 3 years = you're doomed".
For a less anecdotal version, read The Mythical Man Month. (The factor he arrives at is 9.)"

What they are describing isn't necessarily cert pinning, although it's possible there is also cert pinning. It just means there are hard-coded IP addresses somewhere; either a hard-coded DNS server, or the endpoint itself.

Notably, it's still possible to MITM the traffic, just not as easy as if the system respected the proxy settings. You need to spoof the destination IP and try to terminate the TLS with your own trusted cert. If the connection still fails, only then would you know there is a cert pin. I haven't heard if anyone has tried this with the "CDN"-bound traffic, or the persistent bing.com/live.com traffic.

If a VPN was being used, I would expect traffic would still be routed through the VPN interface. The HTTP(S) proxy code is higher up the stack than a VPN interface.

It does raise a huge red flag though, if you are not fully in control of your own network routing using standard tooling, IMO it's not an appropriate OS for any enterprise environment.

I have a question, why not to solve the bitcoin issues another way: by decreasing the amount of transactions by changing the way of paying with bitcoins. I suggest using bitcoin wallets as a cash banknotes and send bitcoin private keys (i.e. the wallet itself) instead of paying from the wallet to transfer money. So everyone should have a set of bitcoin wallets with different bitcoin amounts instead of using one bitcoin wallet.
This method has some advantages: instant transactions, zero fees and anonymity.
The disadvantage that I can see is the necessity of development the mechanisms of having “the change”, probably specialized bitcoin fork, or it can be solved by using hybrid method: usual transaction + bitcoin wallet private keys sending.
“The change” is not necessary for some types of payments: like gifts, balance replenish, or periodic payments which bitcoin has lack of support now. It’ll definitely help to decrease amount of transactions here.

I'm fan of Thoreau and I live in Europe.

I don't understand how exactly he shaped America?

During the "Walden" period he lived simple, frugal life and invested his time into things he cared about (eg., measuring the depth of the Walden pond in winter). After his crops were ready for the harvest, he took them to the city and sold them with minimal effort, being fascinated by the fact that he didn't have to do almost anything, while he enjoyed all the luxuries of sensible, spiritual life.

He wasn't only author that did such things, but the society really never cared or cares.

Thoreau is forgotten, but for me, at least during his Walden period - he was a proper "hacker".

I'm quite sure that he would condemn the mark of being one of these who shaped the America (or world), because this is not what he wanted.
Could the HNers who have bought Oracle db or its enterprise apps share why they chose Oracle over other options. I have have been working in the s/w development side in the banking sector but I was never part of the purchasing decision for infrastructure. I do suspect that the banks keep on buying Oracle or IBM DB2 because of their (Oracle and IBM) reputation for reliability and the army of Oracle or DB2 DBA already in the banks' employment. I have often recommended Jboss over Weblogic for my applications but that option is not considered viable because of Oracle's reputation and existing support contracts.
So, why did you buy Oracle db over say (i)Postgres (ii) MS SQL or Sybase ?

Spotify Labs – Generating test cases so you don’t have to
This statement would be much more informative if you were to mention what that "something they legally cannot agree to" might be. According to the article linked elsewhere in this thread by lazyjones:

http://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/aug/11/julian-assange-...

Ecuador had insisted on negotiating a specific agreement with Sweden over the conditions for questioning Assange in the embassy, which would be contrary to the Swedish constitution, Riddselius said last week.

She said Quito had also demanded that Sweden confer upon Assange the same status of political refugee bestowed on him by Ecuador, which had created a fresh obstacle to agreement. This appeared to prompt a statement by the Ecuadorian embassy on Monday: “At no point has the Republic of Ecuador asked the Kingdom of Sweden to grant Mr Assange asylum”.

Particularly in a case like Assange's, where there are accusations of propaganda and lies aimed at multiple players, I dislike repeating unnecessarily vague claims.

(As for the larger issues, I have no useful facts that would allow me to figure out what's going on. But I'd like to avoid muddying the waters any further.)

Too soon. We probably have another 1000 years give or take left. There are 7-8 billion of us on the planet. A few million can easily holdout for a thousand years if something happens.

When empires or civilizations collapse and you read about them in history you can see the decline, and you wonder why no one did anything. There is so much common sense stuff any reasonable person would do. Then you find that the people playing the games were generally obsessed.

And then you look at our civilization and you realize that's what's going on here. We're obsessed and at the same time you can totally see this is not going to end well for us. But we're so focused on our own rhetorical frames of economic development and progress that we can't do a damn thing to slow any of this down. And we're basically headed for the cliff.

In all these discussions about Windows 10 phoning home, there are a couple of things that I haven't yet seen properly discussed.

1. Do the different versions of Windows (Home/Pro/Enterprise/Education) behave differently? If so, how?

2. Do the pro/enterprise versions behave differently when they're connected to a domain?

I'd imagine that the answer to at least one of these questions would be "yes." This kind of behaviour would be a deal-breaker in many enterprises.
