It sounds like you're leaning a lot on Google searches bringing up two year old questions. There's a massive archive of questions from the last 3 years, around 10,000 on my last count. Going back through every single comment and answer to make sure they're still accurate would be a huge undertaking, and a year ago we stopped using those archived questions.

I highly recommend reading through the entire documentation for the platform you're working on, as well as the API Reference for your SDK. You can find both at https://parse.com/docs. I think now is a good time to point out we're also accepting pull requests against our Docs[1]. We welcome diffs that make the docs clearer for everyone.

It's an ad, correct. There's more than one superlative per sentence in the first two paragraphs, no mention of alternatives and a very frequent repetition of the name, like TV does for advertising spots.

HN is all about presenting companies and product, so it's hard to draw the line, but this article hasn't broadened my knowledge of the cinema industry.
Interesting. Based on my experience in the region, if you can truly deliver on $300/month for a shoe craftsman, it would a be a good thing. If you can bring this to $600/month that would be phenomenal.

Little choice? There is a wide spectrum of choices for higher-education in the US.

While I think the idea that everybody should go to college is fundamentally harmful, I do think that everybody who wants to should be able to go to college. On the other hand, taking out $200,000 in loans to study comparative literature at an ivy league school, and then demanding that the universe provides means to pay it all back is ridiculous. People should buy into their education with a long-term plan. Most people cannot afford the luxury of majoring in an unprofitable subject while incurring enormous debt.
I think in the beginnning, there was some effort to have channels communicate over a network. But it didn't turn out easy / performant. Also, if they are absorbed into the standard library, I think their iteration speed is restricted because of compatibility requirements.
I was thinking about why this website triggered my skeptic alarms and came up with a few things.

1. The web interface makes it hard to go back. The first thing I want to do when I see a surprising answer is reread the question. I understand this is likely just bad engineering, but it makes the whole site feel less trustworthy.

2. Some questions get summarized poorly. For example, the mindfulness question asks "What effect does mindfulness based stress reduction have on self-reported mental health (rates of anxiety, stress, and depression)?" but then summarizes the choices to "reduction rates of mental health issues." You can't drop a word like self-reported from a question, after all physically disabled people self-report being happier after their disability (e.g. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21870935).

Also in the "Drug Substitution Programs" question the text indicates that the research is based off of cases where "Addicts were given heroin or substitutes such as methadone or buprenorphine, based on their needs," however the choices are formed "Positive effect - Prescribing heroin to addicts reduces crime rates," [note that it dropped the or substitutes]. This feels like going for shock value.

3. At the end the website is selling very hard about some newsletter. Apparently the website seems to be focused around a career guide? If you truly have no axe to grind then present high-quality information and I'll naturally explore the site more.

4. If your objective is really to help raise awareness about how often media publicity for social interventions doesn't reflect efficacy as measured in journals then I would think at the end you would propose a plan of action , such as "When hearing about a social program, you can use google scholar to tap into research findings..."

" Google Maps is too conservative with its routing, it tends to stick to highways if at all possible."

and waze is far in the other direction, often telling people to get on and off highways repeatedly to save 30 seconds.

In fact, waze estimates it will save time, but in practice, it rarely does for me.

The routing of either is just a cost model for the same path finding engine. Maps seems to try to avoid various types of road transitions, assuming that it's traffic data isn't perfect and these things have some cost (IE traffic lights, etc, which are not accounted for except as average traffic speed)
Waze seems to simply assume the apparently shortest fastest path will actually turn out that way.

Waze is often wrong, Maps rarely is.
When Waze is wrong, it often takes only as long as Maps does or longer, (i've had Waze tell me to take routes it claimed were 5 minutes faster, that were 10 minutes longer).
Maps is usually accurate, but it may leave something on the table.

I'd still rather have the second.

Side project I've been working on for a while. Would love feedback from a design stand point (landing page) and a 'do you see enough benefit to use this' perspective.
I personally find it incredibly clean. You separate the type signature from the implementation (mostly because a lot of the times it is unnecessary from the compiler's pov, but useful as documentation). To that end, I don't see it as any different from a javadoc or any kind of code documentation.

In addition since Haskell supports multiple case defitions at the top level inline type declarations would be redundant. For example -

current a 0 :: IO Int Int -> Int
current 0 b :: IO Int Int -> Int
current 0 0 :: IO Int Int -> Int

vs.

current :: IO Int Int -> Int
current 0 a = ...
current a 0 = ...
current 0 0 = ...

They are developing platforms that will operate inside contained environments. What you are referring to is very different from what they are doing. An autonomous vehicle that operates on a public road faces much more challenges than one that does so in a contained environment. While working on my own autonomous car (yes, I bought a car for the sole reason to try and do this), I realized that the simplest route would be to do as they did. It can operate in a closed loop, similar to line following robots. Eerily similar to automated trains in airports. Its a challenge to build a safe autonomous vehicle, a bit less so in the way they are doing it. Not trying to diminish their efforts though. I have first hand experience of how hard this simpler approach is.

Because sometimes cloud servers are very cost effective, easy, and fast to deploy: Digital Ocean for example.

$40 / month for 4gb of ram, 4tb of transfer, and two cores, is very cost effective. Linode is also very reasonable.

If all I need is that scale of computing, what should I use instead that makes sense other than cloud services? Setting up colo or a dedicated box for that would be more expensive and a much larger hassle.

The nature of a bus-network makes it very hard to do verification that the sender is in fact who he claims to be. Only solution i can see that really works is if the true sender "breaks the bus" when it detects a malicious sender is using it's source address, as is done when you get ID-collisions, CAN itself does not have a concept of source but many protocols implemented on top of CAN does. In practice this could be very complicated though because often devices deliberately pretend to be other devices due to compatibility with legacy devices.

The bandwidth of CAN is quite limited so including cryptographic signatures with proper strength in every message is not an option. Establishing encrypted connections also comes with a safety risk if they fail, current architectures are designed to allow glitches in the physical connections and recover instantly once the connection is back. Really, many ECUs are designed to fail in every possible way, you can even pull the power of an ECU and plug it back in while driving and your car will keep going without you even noticing it(dont try this at home). You don't want to waste a second with encryption handshaking on a 100hz signal just because you lost a sequence number somewhere. And knowing the complexity and lack of quality in encryption libraries(openssl anyone?), adding more complexity would just introduce even more risk.
At work, we use a dedicated server provider, so we're; when we identify faulty hardware, we file a ticket, and they swap it out. We still need to have enough bare metal machines allocated so we can turn one off while they fix it, etc; but we don't worry about staffing or supplying the datacenter.

I wouldn't want to switch to AWS from this; bare metal plus a good account manager gives us a lot of visibility and reliability; Netflix blogs a lot about the chaos that is AWS, and we save a lot of effort by having machines that for the msot part just work, consistently; instead of having to deal with instances where performance is variable, etc. Running our own datacenter might be nice for some reasons: more control and information about the network, ability to make hardware choices that don't match the providers offerings, etc; but running a datacenter is a big change.
Disagree. The collections are different and behave differently (e.g. the Scala ones are immutable), they should look different. Explicit .asScala and .asJava make the intent clear. They should only be necessary at the boundary.
Democratic Socialism? You have no idea what you are talking about and have clearly received this misinformation from a Bernie Sanders talking point (bless the man, but he is has done nothing to help rectify the broken American political lexicon.). The ideology that has pervaded Nordic politics for the past decades is Social Democracy, not Democratic Socialism. There is a very significant difference.

This "Come From Google" (CFG) paywall bypass bookmarklet usually does the trick for me:

Just to add. It can be implemented on an 8bit micro controller. It's pretty similar to I2C or SPI but with a bit of error checking thrown in.
It's hardly an exploit. All it really is is a feature that this guy happened to disagree with, and he demonstrated his disagreement by showing how it could be used to track your location on a map. To "exploit" this, you the user would have to proactively send chat messages over a prolonged period of time to the "attacker," so I hardly call this an attack.

Thanks for that comment. I have some more reading to do on CAN bus, and admittedly I come from an industry where the default is generally to turn things off in unsafe or uncertain conditions, which simplifies the protocol significantly. That doesn't help when your car is doing 100km/hr on a freeway though...

We tried docker, then had to drop back to running the tests outside of a container (some old technical decisions in the project under test made it hard to run in a container). It's been improved since then, and we're close to running in containers again.

Each executor gets a non-shared prod-like environment thanks to a handful of docker containers. The same setup is used for dev, so switching the testing environment to LXC would mean switching devs as well.

I'm in that process right now, and it's a weird mix of epiphany and embarrassment, among other things.

On the one hand, meditation (or more broadly, zen buddhist practice) has given me more insights in just a few months than I've had in years. Or perhaps more accurately: I stopped having the exact same insights over and over again without any next steps. Now I feel like things are actually changing. More slowly than I'd wish sometimes, but at least they feel solid and real.

On the other hand, realizing how much my thoughts have been going in circles for so long, how much time I've been wasting on those thoughts, how insightful I often felt them to be and how little they changed and how little sense they make in that light and, perhaps even more confronting, how much of my self-image is based on the usefulness of all that introspection, well, those realizations make me feel very sad and a bit depressed.

But then, more and more regularly, I realize that dwelling on such realizations are how I got here in the first place, and so I go for a walk, focus on something else, or meditate, and I break out of those thoughts.

Meditation feels a bit like debugging to me. Especially at first, it was like I was working with some some really shoddy code that would get stuck in an infinite loop, and meditation was like discovering ctrl-c to break out of it, instead of rebooting my machine. As I'm progressing, it's starting to feel more and more like setting breakpoints and learning step by step how the bug arises. Perhaps enlightenment will feel like a Lisp REPL (I kid, I kid)?

The benefits of meditation might not be as pronounced for others, but based on people around me with very different temperaments, it seems to benefit all of them at least somewhat. I can highly recommend it! I started out with the Headspace app (iOS?), but there's plenty of material available.

(I'll add that Alan Watts, especially at the start of this journey, was really effective at shaking my thoughts up. That guy has a way with words, and a wonderful voice to listen to.)

One of the huge advantages of (high-end) designer shoes is customisation. Do you have any plans for this? I like the look of your shoes and was considering buying however I didn't like either colour of leather. One of the things I love about Berluti is that their off the shelf range can still be purchased in a huge variety of leathers (or patina) and can still be customised to an extent. If you're building these shoes from scratch, I'm sure you'll be able to do even more.

Ignoring my slight complaint above, I love what you're doing - it seems you will be able to really make a difference, good luck!
It's limitations of the e-ink technology. Ever notice certain page turns are slower? They do a "fast refresh" 5 times, and then on the 6th page turn they do a "full refresh" of the screen to blank the slate and remove any ghosting left from the previous 5 times. Well, I think they have to do the "full refresh" when you're navigating menus.

It's been getting better with each generation of Kindle.
The buyer pays about $600 extra for the "Internet-enabled" version of the car. It's an option; you don't have to buy it, and, after this, probably shouldn't. If you didn't buy it, software updates require a dealer visit. I have a 2007 Jeep Wrangler with no external interfaces, and it's been in three times for software updates for basic automotive functions, such as stability protection and engine restart.

Cars go back for recalls all the time. Having to physically replace a part isn't a big deal. Dealers have a supply chain in place for obtaining parts from the manufacturer.
Quite. Jannard pumped a LOT of money into it to pull it off.

While I absolutely applaud him for doing actual R&D, it's not clear his ROI was actually that good.

There are a couple of those where I suspect that they might have the causality reversed.
The Red was revolutionary because it was crazy cheap compared to film /stock/, let alone what a good film camera would cost you. Ten years ago, if you wanted to do filming, going the budget route for stock would cost you $13000+ for a 90 min film shot at 35mm, or $5600 for a 90 min film shot on 16mm [1]. The Ursa definitely looks like it's going to push the bar a bit lower, but at the same time, some of the higher end DSLRs are doing raw 4k at about the same price point as the Blackmagic, so I'd argue that the Ursa's more evolutionary than revolutionary.

Bicycle helmets. Let’s start with that because they’re just so rich for this discussion.

First off, the physics. Helmets protect against head injuries because they absorb impact. You can die from a head injury if you fall over from standing upright ( king hit knockout deaths ). If you add speed to that equation, the forces are larger ( a bicycle ). If you add more speed ( motorcycles ), the forces are even larger. At any of these situations the forces can be large enough to produce skull or spinal fracture or concussion that leads to cerebral edema and death, or even brain damage. The most effective thing is to minimize your down time after an injury. Why do you want to be learning how to talk again when you could be working again in 3 days? In an identical crash with and without a helmet, the only variable to your cognitive recovery time is the forces your head and neck experience. If wearing a helmet reduces those forces, and it does, then that will shorten your recovery time. I like the way I speak just fine, thank you.

Then the parenting. When you send your child out to ride a bike, do you say to them, “Wear a helmet!” thinking to yourself that you don’t want them to get a head injury, or do you say to them, “Hey, it’s your choice to wear a helmet or not, and studies have shown that if I force you to wear a helmet, you’re more likely to not ride your bike ( and be safe, yet possibly obese ), while if I don’t force you to wear a helmet you’ll more likely ride your bike ( and risk head injury, but at least be slender ). So, my dear 7 year old, your call: reversible health problems from possible obesity, or potentially irreversible brain damage, what do you choose today? I’m cool with either.”

That kind of laissez-faire-oo-la-la-the-state-cannot-regulate-my-choices attitude is why it works for the state to regulate. Because spreading illogical misinformation that can lead to people being harmed, is wrong.

Finally, the fait accompli. The really interesting thing these arguments around helmets show is the very point I’m making : that if something dangerous ( riding without a helmet, taking a vaccine ) actually increases health and wellbeing across the board in aggregate ( greater numbers of cyclists leads to more healthy people, fewer instances of disease lead to smaller spread and mortality ), in other words, if something that is risky, is still relatively less risky than its inverse, then that’s a “good thing”, that societies want to adopt.

So if you argue that helmets are mandatory, you’re on the side of the state regulating what is best for the group. If you argue that helmets are illegal ( for the arguments mentioned in these comments ), then you are on the side of the state regulating what is best for the group.

Regarding your recent Kickstarter campaign, first kudos to you, and well done.

However, I'm more than a little intrigued about the mechanics of HOW you pulled that off.

More specifically - I was under the impression that Kickstarter only raised funds for companies operating (or at least based) in the US, and a few other countries (all? in the West).

How was it possible then, for a company based in Pakistan, to raise money from Kickstarter?. Were there any particular obstacles that you had to overcome?
