It is a legitimate concern. There is all sorts of related stuff going on in the periphery, and has been for years. FasTrak (toll pass) records have been used by divorce attorneys and whatnot for the past decade or so. Many Bay Area cities operate license plate cameras to monitor all comers and goers. I would not be surprised if other agencies started utilizing this information. More and more we will see OnStar-like integrated systems come standard (featuring remote start/stop). "Black boxes" (event loggers) are already becoming mandatory in new cars. Much of this diagnostic data can be offloaded wirelessly.

Have you seen the demos of Jeep, Ford, Toyota, or Chrysler vehicles being "hacked"? The attackers were able to access the CANBUS (or whatever the particular ODBII spec in use) over the internet.

This is absolutely a concern for mass surveillance. If you want to get really paranoid, think about what could happen during disasters or protests. You may see your car cease to operate altogether.

But just to respond to the original question... As you mentioned this device requires physical access so it is not particularly alarming. Definitely a concern for future iterations though. Presumably those would not be publicized.
I agree with both him and you. But I think part of his point is that often times HN comments tend to focus on kind of irrelevant stuff. I'm the author of this post and the top comment here bothered me a bit because it has nothing to do with the content of the article itself, it's just the top commenter giving his opinions on what types of dungeons he likes better. I didn't even post the article to HN myself because my past experience with comments here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7540555) were similar in that discussion tends to not be that meaningfully related to what was written.
We use OpenNLP in production and it is very stable/robust (though, not exactly cutting-edge anymore). We regularly push large corpora (e.g. German Wikipedia or 20 years of newspaper text) through some OpenNLP-based services, without any problems. This in contrast to some other tools, which I won't name, that have horrible concurrency issues, etc.
Jgit – multiple Git base project management tool
jgit is a command line tool written in ruby.
You can easily execute git command everywhere after use it.
You can execute command all at once like 'jgit st', will execute git status on every project.
You can group project or specify project by -g or -p.
Just 'gem install jgit' to install.
Hope you'll like it.
If any one have advice please feel free to let me know.
Thank you all.
Ah, this rang so many bells. My ex of ten years ago drank huge amounts and was in utter denial about there even being a possibility of a problem. I used to have to go out and find her, usually asleep in an alley, or passed out in a bar's toilets - the worst occasion was when she threw a brick at me, as I had come to pry her away from a bar, and the recoil sent her tumbling into the Thames, in December - fished her out - and the next morning she was convinced I had pushed her in. Stabbed me with a stiletto heel a few months later, because I was trying to stop her hurling our furniture from a fifth story window.

Ultimately we broke up as it's remarkably easy to bamboozle a drunk into admitting that yes, they have cheated on you dozens of times with dozens of men.

This woman is a high court judge now. As far as I can tell, most barristers and judges are full blown alcoholics. For some reason I loved her - probably in the same way as I love my three legged cat - broken, piteous things, both.

I suppose the point of where I'm going is that the only person who can rescue you is yourself. I tried for far too long for both of our sakes.
Do you remember the download mesh? http://rfc-gnutella.sourceforge.net/developer/tmp/download-m...

3 additional HTTP headers for fully distributed downloading.

The server provides an URN and some IPs from participating downloaders and the clients can (but do not have to) swarm that from other clients. Tiger tree hashing ensures that every chunk can be verified, the X-Alt header allows the clients to exchange IPs among themselves (the server does not need to know all) and an X-Nalt header gives distributed disruption avoidance.

Back then I wrote a simple server which provides that: https://bitbucket.org/ArneBab/gnutella_tracker/src/43dc24ddd...

This doesn’t give additional privacy (aside from the effect that the server owner does not need to know whether you just started the download or finished it), but the users can decide themselves where they download from. And the download mesh has proven itself with 50 million users.
I can remember the bar staff in Washington calling a cab for a guy, then noting down the taxi number as it drove off. They did this not once but regularly for this guy, a man in his 50s or early 60s. He was not staggering or sloppy drunk, but the bar staff, which dealt all the time with drinkers, thought this wisest.

The theoretically "best" algorithm may not necessarily be the one that fits a particular task or set of constraints the best. It is presumptuous of the author to know what's best for every user of the toolkit.

I suggest that the author, being so wise in the ways of NLP science, channel this outrage and write "NLTK: The Good Parts" to save the rest of the world from stumbling blindly in the dark wilderness of ignorance.
I do not relate to this at all. I have a huge network of former coworkers who I keep up with via quick emails and "beers couple times a year" kinds of get togethers.

How is this a defense of this model from the customers perspective? In the old pricing model, if they stop innovating I can just stop paying for it and stay with the version I have. This is good for me. And I have actually done this -- I own PHPStorm and while I've bought a yearly upgrades in the past this last year I did not. I'm not doing as much PHP work and most of my PHP work is legacy. Thankfully I own PHPStorm instead of renting it for almost the same price.

With this new model, I wouldn't be happily moving to another competitor, I'd be forced into it immediately. I would paying nearly the same amount but instead I don't own anything.

There's nothing special about it. I'm a software developer, like a lot of people on HN. My dad did the same thing, and he was a salesman. I know a lot of people who are able to make it work.

Yes, it's expensive, and it's getting harder as prices begin to reflect the dual-income status of a lot of middle class families, but it's not that difficult if you're willing to make some basic compromises. Consider that it's all relative. I think my life is pretty nice as-is, and that's what matters.

I would say that it's a lot easier if you don't live in SF or another city with an atrocious cost of living, but really in SF and NY you need a sextuple income to afford a liveable place, so the point is kind of moot anyway.
"The third option, which essentially no-one supports, is that free will is impossible in our universe and that everything everywhere is predetermined."

Well, not just "everything everywhere is predetermined" (which some people do support) but quite specifically predetermined so that every scientist that has so far made a decision on what to measure in these quantum experiments has had that decision correlate strangely with the underlying physical result.
When you make something a metric, people will game the system. Nothing new. Nuance is a tool, and should not be a goal.

> The language "accident" (and the associated story) implies that one cannot control whether they injure someone with their 2000lb death machines. That is not true.

It's an accident because it's not on purpose. If you intentionally kill your ex with your car then people don't call it an accident.

Moreover, there are less than 5000 pedestrian fatalities per year in the US, and the reason there are that many is that US drivers drive three trillion miles a year. That's less than one pedestrian fatality for every 600 million miles. At 12,000 miles a year it would take more than 50,000 years before the average driver would kill one pedestrian. And that isn't doing any accounting for the cases where the pedestrian was at fault.

Most drivers never kill anyone. And that remains true even though almost all drivers are idiots at least some of the time. Because to kill someone you have to be an idiot and be in exactly the wrong place at exactly the wrong time. But you can't control random chance, which is why we have insurance.

What are you arguing exactly... no one has an exceptional reaction to drinking that suggests a possible future problem, so I couldn't have seen one? alcohol has the same effect on everyone? no one gets addicted? alcoholism doesn't have a genetic component?

I observe someone undergoes a huge personality change after drinking and seems a lot happier. I get a sense that this person might have difficulty consuming in moderation.

It seems consistent with a physiological or genetic basis. Not trying to win a prize in genetics or logic, just to use common sense to understand the human behavior I'm seeing.

I guess it's also possible something our mothers did while pregnant made the difference. I believe Occam's Razor and the body of evidence point to a genetic basis. What do you think the evidence points to?
> If someone breaks into your home, in most states self defense would be a slam-dunk defense against a murder charge. Even if acquited of murder, the burglar's family can sue you for wrongful death - the evidentiary bar for wrongful death is much lower than for murder.

In some states you will be immune from civil action if you win your criminal case on self defense. Florida, for example [1].

If no criminal case is brought in Florida, and you are sued civilly and prove self defense in the civil trial, the court is required to award you attorney fees, court costs, compensation for loss of income, and expenses incurred for your defense.

It is true that one can substantially control whether they injure someone. It is not true that one can perfectly control whether they injure someone (short of abstaining entirely from driving).

Moreover, the word "accident" does not in any way imply that the result could not have been avoided if different decisions were made or more care were taken - that is almost universally the case for "accidental" things.

I dont see the big issue with Jetbrains: the product is still available, still works, is still supported and pretty much costs the same. It's just a pricing model difference. And you can still develop without it so it's not a critical tool.

Not enough revenue for minimum viable product, close it down. All customers can't access files "too bad".

People outside China Mainland is hard to imagine the truth behind the news. It's so sad that I have to say the drivers were insane but not totally unreasonable ( Apparently, I'm not agree to what they did or thought ).

In China Mainland, if you drive and hit someone to death, a compensation no more than 15,000 USD will be paid for victim's family. However, if the victim was badly hit the medical expenses could easily reach 15,000 USD and probably beyond 50,000 USD or more. And in that situation, China's terrible medical/car crash insurance can only help a little.

Nice looking homepage, I think you describe the product fairly well. Did you speak to anybody before you built the product? I don't see myself using something like this, and I think FAQs is such a minor afterthought to most companies that I can't imagine them wanting to invest in something like this when they can just create the page themselves.

Maybe it's the FAQs thing which is the problem, but are you really doing anything more than other big companies do with forums?

You've come this far, so I assume it isn't costing you much to keep going. A few bits of advice I'd give are

1) bump up the focus on the demo. I completely missed it until I read that you did a video and went back looking for it

2) improve the look of the Faqs in the demo. You've done a nice job designing your website, why no design on the actual product.

3) in the demo video, don't expect people to read the video. The great thing about video is that the people get to hear from YOU! Make a personal connection by using your voice. If you have an accent that might be difficult to understand, or don't want your voice, go to fiver and get somebody to voiceover for you. A friend at sponsher.com did that, and their video turned out very well.

4) Show the interface your customers will be using. Show them what it is like to update their FAQs, maybe even call it support, so they understand it is a cost to them currently.

Hope that helps.
So rather than jump in and start adding documentation you blast the developers, who are offering this stuff free and without warranty or implied fitness for any purpose?

You can contribute by adding documentation where you see it lacking, especially if you have domain specific knowledge that would help others.

Or you can blast the entire project, not help, and go write your own. The thing that bothers me is that if you know enough, and it's mostly a teaching tool (my understanding from other comments), you could greatly improve the situation for the next guy by providing your enlightened input on the subject in the form of documentation. So the whole damn community loses out on your hard-earned understanding.

Meanwhile, 10 years from now, your project will be replaced, and if NLTK is really a teaching tool, you won't even be a footnote (because teaching tools don't die unless a whole field dies).

This smacks of the kind of "bubble" Silicon Valley entitlement that I can't quite wrap my head around (I know, author isn't in SV, I just see this kind of crap coming from there).
How to spot first stories on Twitter using Storm
Ode to the abstract artist song by Skye Taylor
I don't know much about circRNAs so excuse my naiveness - I wonder if it could be used for gene replacement therapy in the future? Something like, if there is a stop codon somewhere in the middle of a gene, the small piece of circRNA, contains the correct version of that stop codon and is introduced into the cell. Next thing you know, that stop codon is by passed, as the transcription or translation machinery builds an entire good sequence using the DNA and the good code circRNA. Also, since they are resistant to degradation, they might be good shuttle vehicles for tiny 'good copy' exons.

There's been a ton of mostly lightweight, trivial, and linkbait laden
media coverage [1] on this new research paper. I submitted the
actiononsalt.org.uk url since Graham MacGregor is the Chairman of
Consensus Action on Salt & Health (CASH) group, as well as the author of
the paper and a professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at Queen Mary
University of London.

The paper, "High Salt Intake - Independent Risk Factor for Obesity,"
is published in the "Hypertension" journal of the American Heart
Association which is sadly stuck behind yet another pointless
science-killing paywall. Luckily, Graham MacGregor has made the paper
publicly available [2].

I have no idea how this new research ties in with recent obesity
research at MIT and Harvard [3, 4], but it's interesting to ponder.

> AWS allows for an ops team to completely have no concern for hardware. Lovely.

I split my time between managing a few racks worth of servers at one company, and an AWS setup at another client. The amount of ops work per server/instance is higher for the AWS client than it is for the company I manage physical racks for. That's despite the fact I do physical cabling and racking of equipment as necessary.

The issue is that there are so many aspects of the AWS infrastructure that takes extra effort because we don't have full control. E.g. we can stuff whatever disk subsystem we want in the servers and not have to work our way around the lack of any truly fast disk subsystems in EC2. So for every day I don't physically move serves, I spend 3-5 working around AWS limitations.

I agree with you with respect to what you want, but we're taking baby-steps today - AWS is way too expensive for most people to move to it, even before you factor in the ops complexities.
