Hey guys, I made this last week as a two-evening side project. Happy to see it posted here, thanks randall!

I know the word lists aren't complete. This was the best I could do given the time constraint, the fact that I don't actually speak 19 languages... And also, after two evenings of googling dirty words, I started feeling like I'm about to acquire Tourette's in some unknown language ;)

I'll update the database with the words submitted here and through the form on the site. Thanks!

Edit -- here's Google Analytics for this site after 1 hour on the HN frontpage:

This is a site that had essentially zero traffic before HN, so I figured this would be a potentially interesting glimpse into HN's audience.
The bulk of these options were in 7 and 8 as well.

> It tried to recover with OS/2. It was a pretty good platform but they couldn't get the details right. This was was fizzing as well.

Well, it locked up the PS/2 hardware with patents, so nobody could clone it. So non-PS/2 hardware was a lot cheaper, because there were a hundred companies trying to sell it. But that cheaper hardware didn't run OS/2 (at least initially).

But when Microsoft was able to keep pace (more or less) with Windows, nobody wanted the PS/2, because Windows on commodity hardware was good enough, and less expensive.
"The nsa could potentially read my email or track my location. But Google definitely already does."

From the leaks we know that they both do the same thing, which is to use their computer resources to sift through all emails they get their hands on, build profiles of people and connect them with each other. Neither could afford to have humans reading all the data coming at them.

The difference is that Google uses their conclusions to show you the most profitable ads, while the NSA keeps their conclusions to themselves until the day of your potential arrest.

Whether people consider the creation of such a profile to be spying is up to them, but my personal suspicion is that people would strongly object if they understood what was being done with their data.

I don't think this is much of a response to the piece's argument. Yes, high-level tech classes are a use-case where MOOCs work. But MOOC companies have repeatedly presented them as useful for intro-level and non-technical courses--and they aren't.

It's great if MOOCs help you with high-level tech stuff. But that's not what most students want or need. Someone in a low-level math or composition class is likely to need far more interaction with their instructor (which is what I take the article to be arguing).
That book is a great starting point but can be dangerous by itself, you need to hear other points of view and balance out your understanding of the lifts with further research.
I don't see how that changes the fact that these companies have profits in the billions, are still not satisfied, and are willing to contribute to the murder of millions to increase their profits. India should have some fucking balls and stand up for its people and repeal these patent laws designed to make a couple of people rich while murdering so many.
> Do you know how they manage to solve arbitrary-length paths using a finite-depth neural network? Do they use an iterative approach?

This is not overall an RNN; they only use an RNN layer in the initial layer to parse the questions & facts (pg3), then it gets fed into a regular feedforward deep network. I think any specific implementation of this would have a limit; for example, figure 2 implies that each 'fact' gets its own stack of DNNs, so for k facts you need k stacks of DNNs. And each stack can only do so much computation based on how many layers there are, so they can only solve certain length problems before forgetting/running out of time.

So I would guess the answers to your questions are 'it doesn't, 'no', and 'yes'. (None of which is necessarily bad. It's not like humans can solve arbitrary-length problems in our heads either.)

I think Microsoft messed up the messaging and wording of their features, bigtime. Many products these days are integrating analytics to see how their users use their products. Personally, I prefer to disable such tracking, but I don't view it as malicious.

MS should have realized by now that people don't quite trust them with this stuff, and they should have make it clear at the outset that they are never going to use this data for "sharing with their partners" or any purpose other than explicitly as a signal for improving specific Windows features.

They used legal language that allows them much more latitude than what they require. This is most likely intentional (probably for future competition with Google), but IMO they should have gone with a very narrow data use policy.
Very possible. However, consider:

• 10 just came out.

• The authors possibly want to show just how complicated and arduous it is to disable this utter disrespect of user privacy, thus teaching the users that all these screens and settings amount to a so-called dark pattern (assuming the best case).

――――

I advise you to omit "uhm" from your online forum posts. It comes across as condescending because it makes it sound like you think your conversation partners are morons.
So "people writing code" == "people who want a general purpose Mac"? And I didn't say Apple customers who buy/own Macs. Keep in mind that a lot of people get an iPhone or iPad first, then want to be more productive with a keyboard and larger screen, or just want to keep buying App Store-enabled Apple devices in general. These are not professional coders and are the overwhelming demographic that Apple is selling to.

Do you think they don't know who their customers are?

That quote was from 1995.

This looks nice. I like the idea of more-or-less seamless integration between a1 and a2 on the same page, to allow for incrementally experimenting with a2 features without having to port the entire application over.

With angular 2 moving to a virtualdom implementation we can get serverside rendering and some real speed improvements (if you move your virtualdom stuff to a web worker for example). This is rad.
Here's the exact wording from Windows Defender settings:

"Get better, faster protection by sending Microsoft information about potential security problems Windows Defender finds"

The 'Privacy Statement' underneath links here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/preview-privacy-s... (and yes, this was a Windows 8.1 -> 10 upgrade, not a tech preview install).

Under 'Data We Collect', the third bullet point:

"when you open a file, we may collect information about the file, the application used to open the file, and how long it takes to use it for purposes such as improving performance (e.g. to help retrieve documents more quickly)"

Note, I have 'Cloud-based protection' disabled and I'm still getting (near daily) definition updates, so the two definitely are not related.

also to note that some agencies caught it (US, Austria) and some (Germany) did not.

growing up with Germans of that generation makes it likely to encounter the effects of less regulated pharma first hand. the US was protected from it, which might explain the more prevalent ignorance here.

It's sold through the Mac App Store only right now, so it's limited to what the Mac App Store allows, unfortunately.

Maybe in the future, if it goes well, the developer might consider selling outside the Mac App Store, and this have more flexibility. I have no knowledge of his plans on that matte,r though.
Could you provide some references for all of that?

Also, there are at least a couple of "publicly available" products one could buy preloaded with Linux. Even Dell has an offering: http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/xps-13-linux/pd
Depends who you ask. Automation improperly distributed could cause such problems.

Just verified this myself... pretty cool! I searched for the following:

* Mutex lock (from the article)
* Mutex lock C++
* Python list comprehension

Third time's a charm! The prompt came up, and now I've got a simulated shell of sorts that looks a bit like linux but doesn't have most commands.

The main command is "request", which lets you request challenges through this shell. Requests are defined as follows:

foobar:~/ guest$ help
[snip]
request	- request new challenge (of type 'tag') [tag]

foobar:~/ guest$ tags
Requesting tags...
algo	algorithms
data_struct	data structures
low_level	low-level representation (binary representations, endianness)
math	math
crypto	security and cryptography

Had a 2nd friend try the same who's not a coder, and it didn't work, so they're looking at more than very-recent search history.
It would be really hard to capture this kind of double meaning that only applies to a certain product category... "Doesn't go" is certainly an unwanted association for a car, but it wouldn't matter for most products.

To make it more complicated, "nova" actually has the same astronomical meaning in Spanish as in English:

https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova

So it's fine in some contexts, bad in some very specific context. Someone smarter than me will probably crack problems like this with AI...
> What I currently care about is OS research that tries to mimick the Xerox PARC experiences, use of micro-kernels, use of safe systems programming languages and so forth.

Why? When was the last time there was a Linux crash due to it not using a "safe" language? How many people did it effect? Is Linux actually measurably any the worse for using an "unsafe" language?

Would Linux be measurably any better for use of a micro-kernel?

Is anybody going to spend the man-decades (or man-centuries) necessary to re-write Linux using micro-kernels or safe languages, just to wind up at the same level of functionality? No. Ain't nobody got time for that.

So unless you can point to concrete, measurable benefits that are going to come from switching to micro-kernels or Rust or whatever, Linux is going to continue on its way. (I agree that the advantages of micro-kernels are a valid research subject. But you need more than Tannenbaum's "that's the right way to do it". You need a compelling reason where it can do something that people care about that Linux can't do, or where it can do it with much fewer resources (either hardware or programmers), or something of that sort. Merely 10% improvement, say, isn't going to cut it, because you'd have to re-write all of Linux to get that improvement, and it's not worth it.)
> QE 4 is coming, there is no doubt. It's the only tool in the chest.

Only if -- as you apparently do -- you redefine "QE" so broadly as to include not only every tool in the chest, but tools in completely different chests, as well.

> This time around though it won't be parked directly in the banks, but more likely it will be helicoptered directly to consumers, probably in the form of tax breaks, directly or indirectly.

QE is a kind of monetary policy, tax breaks are fiscal policy (and QE is specifically monetary stimulus by central bank purchase of financial assets from financial institutions.) These differ in kind (not degree) and authority -- the Federal Reserve can do monetary policy like QE, but not tax breaks; only Congress can do fiscal stimulus.

Doesn't catch "tineh", which is apparently a derogatory term for Indians http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=tineh, so probably wise to also check UD and Google.

I tried Tessa and it means "to pee." How come it is not on the list? I know it's not a swear word, but it's still a name with negative connotations.

Yes, I think Siri should be off by default. Malware databases can be updated when the user updates everything else. The reason people are complaining is that this data is being sent automatically by the OS without their permission or knowledge. It's not just a complaint against MS, but also against other OS's that do the same like Android.

Why Privacy Matters? And Infoxication?
I expect Microsoft provides their corporate customers with a solution that includes confidentiality and end-user control (i.e., IT department control) of machines. Many business users would not and could not share this info with Microsoft.

Instead of trying to discover and disable each confidentiality threat in the consumer version, the best solution probably is to obtain of that corporate version. Likely you also need to read up on how to configure those featues on TechNet, but generally Microsoft's documentation is complete (if sometimes difficult).

There are many, many, MANY things you can do when you make setting and retrieving a property "programmable." Injecting "method advice" to propagate changes--as the post describes--is one. Making data immutable through copy-on-write is another.

Same mechanism, entirely different architectural objectives.
Why the Wingdings font exists
I'd be really interested in knowing how do they do the phonetic matching.

Honestly, the code for that sucks. It just looks for specific variations of letter combinations.

I guess a more robust approach would try to build up a real phonetic representation of the word, then apply various languages' orthographic rules to that to check for matches.
It doesn't do phonetic matching. A big flaw.

Baca returns nothing, Baka returns 'idiot/er in Japanese'.
Science is a method for getting to know the universe. Fashion and politics are unrelated. Philosophy, religion and science are the most common ways to acquire knowledge. In religion, the source is the myth. In philosophy, the source is the thought. When philosophy needed a method to get to know for better the nature, it begat science. Science produces raw data. Philosophy, or any other method of thinking for that matter, are to interpret what science collects. But paraphrasingly-quoting Socrates via Plato, in Alchibiades II 144a and 146-147, without the knowledge of the good from the bad, information otherwise is useless, and maybe pericolous.

And, it's not established that Mathematics be a science, so, shall we dismiss it[1]?

I suspect they're more interested in who might potentially be blackmailed.
Ask HN: Is it possible to connect 2 smartphones together?
Does anyone know if this possible? In particular, I'm curious if you can do things like:

1. Use the keyboard for smartphone #1 on smartphone #2.

2. Copy text on smartphone #1 and paste it on smartphone #2.

3. Send programs from smartphone to the other.
Which part was speculation?

The SIP setting is most certainly "opt-out." Have you demoed El Capitan?

The Preferences -> Security -> Allow non-MAS/non-signed apps setting is most certainly "opt-out" on any machine you buy from Apple or at the store.

Prefacing something with "I suspect" generally allows one to speculate.

The trend is that you're gradually losing control of your machine.
