I just happened to be playing L.A. Noire recently, which became famous for using motion sensors to transfer actors' facial expressions to their CG version. [1] It looks like this would have them from having to do the whole studio setup and recording for each actor they want to portray.

This article doesn't make a lot of sense. The author has discovered that there are multiple ways of meeting a minimum standard. She then observes that one way is to exactly meet the standard, and another way is to drastically exceed it.

Somehow this means they are flawed and can't work.

Are math standards also fundamentally flawed because while the standard may specify only multiplication of 4 digit numbers, some students can also do calculus?
Data should have attorney/client privileges. That would solve all this privacy stuff. No, just because the data exist, does not mean you can just have it. If both my attorney (23&me) and I agree that you may use it, then yes, otherwise, no. Never ever ever will you get it and no court can rule otherwise. It's red oculus that we have to be afraid to use all these services because what they might do with our data and who they might sell it too.
Curiously the only PC in my school in Moscow in 1988 was an IBM PC (the 5150?). Actually, that may have been 1987 or 86 even... Then we moved to the US. I've never seen or knew of existence of any of the machines in this article.

OSR2 did indeed do that, but it was a later addition. And Windows NT 4 never got My Documents.

> Wasn't it possible to store user files in C:/Windows/Profiles/{username}/ , too ?

I think so, but I don't know if the OS really especially encouraged you to store things there.
It depends on the pill. Different pills have different side effects on different women; I think most end up working with their doctor and trying several different kinds before they find one they like.

I asked 23andMe if they could somehow anonymize my account and they didn't even seem to understand what I want. They said I could change my username but I wanted a more thorough anonymization. That was a while ago (years), maybe they'll understand eventually.

(I wasn't worried about law enforcement, but I can think of all sorts of undesirable scenarios should their database ever leak, which it probably will).
Ah yes, I'm familiar with that. Not sure why it didn't come to mind when I was thinking about it.

How is that ad hominem? I don't know anything about your nationality, background or anything else. If I said you clearly hate Naples because you're from Milan that would be ad hominem, but I've reached this conclusion from your words only.

Just like how every grocery store checkout lane goes faster than yours! Its simple statistics. You are one; there are N more lanes. What is the chance that yours is the faster one? Small.

Recent discussion revolved around how your friends have more friends than you, on average. Similar argument (super-frienders have lots of friends; you are likely connected to one, and unlikely to be one).

So, actually, everybody else is likely having more sex than you. Its just statistics.
But why do they need to analyze the victim's DNA - wouldn't they typically be looking for a match for the perpetrator of the crime?

It used to be the case that hooking up with strangers was assumed to be the whole point of using Tinder. Nobody was really trying to find a life partner on there.

Nowadays, I feel like women are using it for easy validation, or to find a variety relationships (friends only, sugar daddys, traditional dating, finding someone to marry, etc). Which explains the "not looking for hookups / one night stands" that appear in a non-trivial percent of profiles now.

On the other hand, I think most male users are still there mostly looking for quick hookups.

Women are using Tinder for different reasons than they did a few years ago, and its increasing the signal to noise ratio for the hookup crowd.
There's a point in time where you're crossing the boundary from mistakes into the realm of unlawful activities. I think it's very difficult to argue such actions are a mistake (e.g. "I had no idea insider trading was wrong, your honor, it was a mistake!"), because such things are an entirely different class of behaviors. They're intentional, and if such intent can be proven in a court of law, they are usually tried as such. Proving intent is exceedingly important in criminal law.

If you're looking for mistakes that can bring material harm to others, it might be easier to examine industries where errors in judgment lead to physical and/or financial harm. Transportation industries (aviation, trucking, etc), construction, and a whole slew of others offer a variety of examples to choose from that don't necessarily require intentional misuse of resources to cause harm.

Think of how many aircraft accidents have occurred over the decades as a direct consequence of mistakes made by the air crews--or controllers, or maintenance staff--and were, frankly, errors in judgment. Sure, there have been cases where maintenance shortcuts were taken to either save money or time, lead to the deaths of passengers and flight crews, and have been successfully tried in a court of law as negligence (or worse). But that clearly crosses what should hopefully be a distinctive line into unlawful actions, and even still, there have been circumstances where the maintenance staff wasn't held accountable. Again, it's a matter of intent.

So I think context is important. In the case of Microsoft, I don't think that the mistake in question should result in wanton firing. Perhaps if someone could prove that they were materially harmed by the upgrade, then it might be pertinent to seek damages from the company. But oftentimes the developers on staff either did something wrong (and fixed it) or were specifically told to implement that feature by management.

Everything else just seems like splitting hairs.
Strong ++ for talking with an immigration lawyer - the system is best navigated by those who know it well. My O1 application (early 2015) was 270+ pages and I also submitted references from multiple people/recognized experts as verification. The preparation took months and the processing took days.

If you feel that way, you don't understand what attraction is about.

Women want sex. They want it as much as men want it. They just don't want to have it with people whom they find unattractive. No shit. Are you any different?

Now, you might say, "but I'm not so unattractive". You might even be Brad Pitt himself, or whomever passes as the male archetype for attractiveness these days, IDK, it's not a scorecard I keep up on. But that's moot. You don't get to define what attractiveness means to anyone. Just because they didn't have sex with you doesn't mean they don't want to have sex.
Here (Austria) if you are female and you want to pay for sex you will have a hard time finding it. From what I understand, most male prostitues are actually offering gay sex.

On that note, as someone entering the US in a few days, I wonder how long it'll be before they take DNA at US borders. They already take retina, photos and fingerprints.
Absolutely fricking cool. Would need to learn some extra text editor tricks, however, to make it a smooth experience...
Why am I arguing with user:pervycreeper at this time on a Friday...sigh...

Yes, development in utero and epigenetics play a very substantial role in 'copying' someone, let alone, I dunno, living your life. That said, fingerprints are not nearly as complete an identifier as genetics. Also, fingerprints don't carry, unless analyzed with chromatography, almost any health information. DNA with have an abundance of health information and your pre-dispositions to certain diseases, your genetic linage and the skeletons in that closet, and the information about the health of your children whoever they may be with. DNA is very much more invasive than fingerprints and gives leverage to those with the money to process that info. Fingerprints say you touched this thing at some point before the print degraded. DNA says your grandfather was a cheating hound-dog and your daughter is very likely to get breast cancer. That data can be much more damaging.
no its legit...give it a try if you have an android phone.
It's not trivial, you're right -- which is why you put your A-level people on it. Windows Update is Windows now... yet every week it seems they push another broken, malformed, or generally customer-unfriendly update. Their new policy of suppressing release notes is just (brown) icing on the cake.

The end result of all this stupidity is to incentivize users to turn off automatic updates. Everybody with an Internet connection will suffer for that.

I don't get it. Why would I do diagrams in ascii when I can use any one of dozens of good programs and export the result via DVI or PDF. I guess it must might be nice if I want to read the document on a text console, but I don't see that use case coming up nearly often enough to justify learning yet another version of markdown and commit to doing diagrams with ascii art.
I enjoyed this. But, then, I am a woman who has been celibate for a long time, and not because that's how I "want" it to be. It just is.

I don't think the article has much to do with Tinder. I happen to like it, I am just not sure why it is on HN. I really don't think it has any particular relevance to Tinder. It is a nice piece about someone who is where they are and ridiculous suggestions by other people to try x, y or z and just FIX IT are simply not working. Sometimes that happens. And a dating app (or hook up app?) doesn't fix whatever is causing it, because "meeting people" is not the issue.

There are deeper issues here. She admits that.
Nice, thanks for pointing that out.

Note that it may be skewed a bit since apps can get created but not published on the app stores (personal experiment, in-house app for a company). This does roughly align with our data on iOS though.
>An agentless setup is ideal iff you have an effective method of service discovery and strongly consistent data storage.

Sure, or use tag and/or have AWS (aws can be used as a node classifier).

>It's significantly worse than "if (var) { block }", though, yeah? I mean, yes, it works, but I think that having a programming language with conventionally understood data structures and functions

I'm not sure what you mean -- it's YAML + Jinja2. It's just powerful enough that you can hand it off to an Ops team and they can get stuff done.

>I mean--I'm a programmer. Programming things is easier for me than maintaining YAML files. =)

Agreed. I actually hit a point that I said "fuck this" and almost just wrote chunks of python to stitch together with jinja includes, then base64, send and run. I didn't because with Ansible, I can just point others at a doc that I don't maintain (not to say the docs aren't garbage).

>(though Berks tends to be helpful anyway)

Ha -- petty, but I hate the amount of memes like "berkshelf" in the Ruby/Chef toolchain. "berks" is enough to make me involuntarily scoff.

>All that said, I'm not saying you shouldn't use Ansible, and I dig that you have some perspective about it. Just offering a different point of view. =)

Didn't take it that way :) I spent over a year with Chef+agent/Chef-zero/Chef-solo, about a year with Puppet, before using Ansible. I find that Ansible "just goes away" with less effort and doesn't just grow until it eats your entire ops team.
Yep -- this was so predictable.

I would never have my DNA sequenced for any reason.
There's another former Communist country with a "disproportionate amount of programmers": Romania.

According to a customer rep, the 3rd party company, LabCorp, that actually processes the genotype testing will keep all the data for up to two years regardless of a deletion request.

"Account Closure

When closing an account, we remove all Genetic Information within your account (or profile) within thirty (30) days of our receipt of your request. As stated in the applicable Consent Document, however, Genetic Information and/or Self-Reported Information that you have previously provided and for which you have given consent to use in 23andWe Research will not be removed from ongoing or completed studies that use the information. Our contracted genotyping laboratory may also retain your Genetic Information as required by local law and we may retain backup copies for a limited period of time pursuant to our data protection policies. In addition, we retain limited Registration Information related to your order history (e.g., name, contact, and transaction data) for accounting and compliance purposes.

You are able to read both documents in full at:

In our TOS it states, 'Our contracted genotyping laboratory may also retain your Genetic Information as required by local law and we may retain backup copies for a limited period of time pursuant to our data protection policies.'

What this means is the data file generated from the processing is stored, though the sample is discarded shortly after the processing of the sample is complete (if biostorage is declined). This data file is stored for up to two years. National Genetics Institute (NGI), our contracted laboratory, is required to keep the results of the analysis for up to two years as required by CLIA.

EDIT: According to someone who currently works at 23andme, they never delete data - ever. On multiple occassions when I bring data deletion up, there's a puzzled look and a quick denial that they ever delete data regardless of customer requests. Which is accurate if you read the above TOS... they only delete data that ties you to your submitted genotype data:

"however, Genetic Information and/or Self-Reported Information that you have previously provided and for which you have given consent to use in 23andWe Research will not be removed from ongoing or completed studies that use the information"
ya, pick it back up! i'd focus more on trying to make something that sounds nice/interesting rather than realistic. physical modeling sounds is an art to itself
that doesn't make any sense. DNA is not one's identity as in the metaphysical sense of a whole "self". DNA is just like fingerprint but more complete and more (?) unique. By your argument, your picture + some unique number could be your identity -> your driver's license is not your identity. It's a way to identify your identity.
Not sure if a prostitute is typically somebody who wants to have sex with you. But in an extremely nitpicking way we could say you are right (for a definition of sex as "putting your penis into somebodies body orifice"). I don't think that is what the OP meant, though (besides, there are male prostitutes, too, so at most you get to "even").
Moments fails because is misunderstands that Twitter is a real-time network and that its users see little value in curation. Curation is much more than just throwing a title onto some semi-random tweets and calling it a product. My two cents: http://newslines.org/blog/a-momentary-lapse-of-reason/

However, to say that Facebook is fearless about innovation is off base. They have bolted on so many parts to the core social network that it has become a Frankenstein's monster. Whatever new idea comes along every six months they bolt something new on, until the whole thing is just a big mess of competing ideas. What is needed is a rework of the social network at its core.

Having gone through this process, the stage at which you can apply for an E2 visa is after you have raised your Angel/Seed round. (to clear the 100k~300k bar. We talked to several people about this and the most commonly cited number was 300k investment, already residing in a US bank account)

For the past 2.5 years, I've been working as sysadmin / helpdesk monkey at a mostly-Windows shop.

On Debian or CentOS, updates are simple - if any updates are available, you install them. End of story.

On Windows, as I have learnt the hard way, simply installing all available updates is pretty much begging for trouble. During my training at Deutsche Telekom, when I heard that they had a whole team whose only task was testing Windows updates, I thought they were being wussies. Now, I envy them. The reality for me is more like checking online discussion boards to see if anyone was dumb enough to just install all the updates, yet smart enough to figure out which ones caused them trouble, then only approving those updates nobody has complained about. It is kind of like playing Russian roulette.

As as Unix-person looking at the Windows world from an outsider's perspective (kind of), I am kind of shocked that this is the OS powering approximately 90% of corporate desktops. Imagine if, following the end of the Cold War, Western car companies had been driven out of business by the Trabbi. That is pretty much what has happened in the PC world.

And, yes, I get that Windows is tortured by more combinations of hardware and software than anyone wants to imagine, and QA for their updates must be a living hell. But IIRC, Microsoft also made something like 20 billion dollars in profit last year, so they could easily spend one billion on making Windows update not suck - or at least suck slightly less - and still be disgustingly profitable.

The worst thing is that people who have known no other OS but Windows all their lives fail to see how utterly wrong this is. Either they just don't know any better, or it's a massive case of Stockholm syndrome...

(Sorry, but I've had that on my mind for a while, and since it was patchday this week, I hope you can understand my need to vent a little...)
Exactly. There is an 80/20 bro-science rule that applies to this: where 20% of the guys are having sex with considerably more women than the other 80% of guys.

So... if you want more sex, work your way to the 20%; feel for the gradient and walk uphill.
> Twitter could make a lot of people happy by re-opening the API access (e.g. third party apps) and adding access control (e.g. teams and channels).

Wouldn't this have a huge impact on their ability to monetize the twitter stream with ads and richer content? Of course this is developer friendly, but does it help them make real money?
>> But, I would never, ever send them my DNA attached to my identity.

> Your DNA IS your identity, and sending it to them is sending them all the information ever needed to identify you.

Not really: in the case the cops already have the DNA but it's useless to them because they don't know how to find the person it belongs to. If the cops found an (erroneous) match to sequence done anonymously, they would learn little to nothing that they could act on.

Now the game might be up if they got a family-member match on a non-anonymous relative, but there's little you can do about that.

Well, it's right there in the document itself -- just change it. Done. And the diagram is legible both pre- and post-rendering of the document.
