> A much more foundational difference of opinion about purity arises from whether or not you allow termination.

Termination or non-termination? One of the (many) things that annoy me about PFP is the special treatment of non-termination, which is nothing more than unbounded complexity. In particular, I once read a paper by D.A. Turner about Total Functional Programming that neglected to mention that every program ever created in the universe could be turned into a total function by adding 2^64 (or a high enough counter) to every recursive loop without changing an iota of its semantics, therefore termination cannot offer a shred of added valuable information about program behavior. Defining non-termination as an effect -- as in F* or Koka (is that a Microsoft thing?) -- but an hour's-computation as pure is just baffling to me.

> I'd be interested to see a semantics where setting mutable stores is sufficiently ignored by the choice of equality as to be considered a non-effect. I'm not sure what it would look like, though.

I think both transactions and monotonic data (CRDTs), where mutations are idempotent, are a step in that direction.

Continuing off of what rsfern said, if the actual values aren't a normal distribution it makes sense that the labels would be equally lopsided.

The 6.2-liter V8 is used in the Corvette. http://www.chevrolet.com/corvette-stingray.html The all-aluminum engine and carbon-fiber chassis bring the weight to just over 1.5 tons. It's insanely overpowered (I know someone who blacked out from the acceleration - in the passenger seat fortunately) but with the 8-speed transmission, it can still get 30MPG on the highway.

Your project is awesome. I'm now a backer :-)
it is fascinating that people think most of the code from startups is crown jewels. If you look closely 99% of code is not hard to reproduce it is just time consuming to write but I doubt you will find some breakthrough ideas. Sure you might find some cool/impressive thing here and there but especially at early stages nothing there except number of hours put in. I know people tend to glorify things they write but mostly it is not that stellar achievement what they did.
Never managed to get on the HIMYM bandwagon so I can't comment on that until I get around to finally watching it.

As far as Seinfeld, I've noticed that people my age who grew up with the show in school and college consider it timeless but a lot of younger people don't see the big deal. Not so much that it's not funny (it is) or that it's dated (cultural references and cordless home phones are just window dressing), but that so many subsequent shows have been influenced by Seinfeld that it doesn't seem very new or original to a 17-year-old who just saw a few reruns for the first time.

It's sort of like how people will talk about The Beatles being overrated because people still refer to their relevance when they were still putting out albums, not how their work relates to current rock music. When the Beatles got huge it was relevant as much for the time and place as it was the actual music. But if you're a young listener today and you hear the Beatles at the same time as you hear later artists who were influenced by the Beatles, they don't seem like a big deal.

That's the problem with "timelessness" and something like pop culture that's always changing and building upon itself (not to mention how it favors novelty). It seems like there will always be cultural "enthusiasts" in any medium who appreciate the influence a given artist has on the popular culture but just the same, I find that same general "popular" audience loses sight of what made something big. And since the nature of pop culture is to mirror and cater to "the masses", on some level, that's who really determines relevance.

> YouTube Seeks Streaming Rights to TV Shows, Movies

I find it hard to believe that they haven't attempted to do just that a long time ago. And probably many times since. I can only conclude that they were unwilling to give up certain rights or couldn't agree on revenue contracts in exchange for the rights to stream. Whereas the smaller companies (at the time) really had no choice and accepted those terms. Smaller companies like Netflix, Hulu, etc didn't have youtube's negotiating power, and streaming for youtube wasn't a make or break thing. They could take a pass if they so wanted. If netflix were to take a pass, it could've meant the end of their business.

Now youtube is watching companies like Netflix turn into direct competitors and has since changed its mind and is probably becoming more pliable. I think youtube had an established revenue model and these big companies (Fox, universal, etc) wanted more than youtube was willing to give up. Youtube should have realized, however, the internet is too dynamic. Sure, a direct competitor isn't going to pop up overnight, but you'd be surprised just how quick they can establish themselves.

Ask HN: How is my government blocking images and videos on Twitter?
I am in Ecuador, today we have a crucial debate where a package of constitutional amendments will be approved (all of them are quite medieval like declaring that all communications are a public service). Anyway, I am trying to understand how do they block selected images and videos. All blocked assets give 504 errors like this one for example:

GET https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CVTvltlXIAAWbEH.jpg 504 (Gateway Timeout)

Do they have a proxy installed where traffic from given CDNs is tunneled before entering local ISPs and they actually "watch, select and dump" the images/videos that need to be blocked?

Is Twitter involved?

Plus, while films and television can be affecting and emotionally moving, you typically sit down, watch them for an hour or five, and move on. Music permeates our daily lives and by its nature can get tied up in all sorts of complex emotions and memories.

There are movies that have affected me profoundly but I'd have to watch them again in the right circumstances and mood to even hope to be similarly affected a second or third time. But there are songs and albums that I'd argue will always get an emotional reaction from me barring some weird scenario where I had to listen to them on repeat for days until they were worn out.
The alternatives to dithering a 256 color image both end up with undesired results. You can either create a palette specific to your image or application (which makes the rest of a multitasking system look like a tie-dye shirt), or have really, really ugly banding since you have a mere 256 colors to work with (minus reserved colors) instead of 2^24

24-bit images are 'good enough' and dithering would just add another step to the asset workflow.

I can remember the days with a 1MB video card and Windows 95 - switching between 16-bit color at 800x600, or 8-bit color at 1024x768. Resolution vs dithering...

Hi Nick! I think every startup considers "what if Google launches into direct competition with me" at some point. We've definitely been preparing for this day (oh, I work at Clarifai). From a sheer technology standpoint, Google is the big gorilla in the room. But, computational resources and data are basically commodities. What matters is what you do with the data - how you train the models (just like different media companies, each machine learning company has its own editorial voice when it comes to tagging), custom training and domain models, the level of service you provide to developers, the integrations you have with other services, etc. These are all things we feel like we do better, and we'll continue to make our API the most developer-friendly one out there.

Ideally it would also be in a chapter format and a multitude of authors with varying ideas would be presented.

I've read Chalmers, Dennett, Hof, Serle, Jeff Hawkins etc in book format but it would be nice to see something more concise.

What I've learned after 1 year in SaaS
I would add, I think there are two steps to getting featured:

1) Make your app featurable: solves a problem in a well designed, polished way. Bonus points for showcasing one of Apple's new technologies (right now things like 3D Touch or iPad Pro optimization).

2) Get noticed by Apple: if you can make a small splash, Apple may make you a bigger one. Apple are kind of like app journalists: they are scouring the web to find out about upcoming gems or breakaway successes. I'm sure they also look at what new apps are making a splash in the charts. I think they found my first app, Grades, because I wrote a blog exploring how to build successful apps and some folks at Apple read it. You can also meet Apple folks on Twitter, conferences, and especially WWDC.

After consistently releasing apps that Apple is impressed with, they may start to build a more personal relationship with you and that's the goal.

Some people think this is all about luck but, as someone who started as a poor college student no one knew about, I found there is a method to the madness.
So there are a few components interesting in the Porsche 918's braking system that I'll speak to.

1) The brakes slow the car down through a combination of electric generation and traditional brake pads, just like the hybrids you're familiar with. Unlike the Prius, the brakes escalate in a predictable a familiar fashion. Most regenerative braking systems do not scrub speed from the car in the same linear fashion as the 918. This is a major accomplishment because it makes the transition from regular brakes to regenerative brakes seamless and allows for spirited driving.

2) The batteries are not designed to store a substantial amount of charge, instead they are designed to provide a large chunk of the acceleration power that would normally come from a gasoline engine in a hybrid. Instead of designing the car to utilize batteries for long-ranges, Porsche designed the car to utilize batteries for sprints.

3) The net result is a car that is as spirited as a traditional sports car but with greatly increased efficiency. People that wont buy a Prius or BMW Hybrid right now because of the ride quality issues would be willing to purchase a car with the 918 style system.

The school of thought behind the Prius to squeeze every drop of efficiency out of the electric side, the school of thought behind the 918 is to support spirited driving with the electric side. Both lead to increases in efficiency but only the latter is something people that consider themselves 'drivers' would buy.

You can see this with Turbochargers as they are just now starting to trickle onto sport vehicles such as the BMW M4 and Ferrari has acknowledged that they will be pursuing the technology in their road cars in the near future.

Reed – The automated resume suggestion software
Hello Everyone,
I am the cofounder of a company called Resume Reviewers. Resume Reviewers is a software and resume reviewing company that focuses on maximizing the effectiveness of resumes for every type of application. We are currently in the process of creating our new software which we call Reed. Reed is a semi-artificially intelligent resume reviewing algorithm that finds key elements of the resume that are missing or should be removed. The goal is to provide a quick solution for people who need a resume reviewed quickly with accurate and insightful feedback. We are finally happy to announce that Reed is ready for beta testing and that we are looking for beta testers to test out the product.
If you are interested in being a beta tester for Reed please fill out the following google form: http://goo.gl/forms/Hg0G7SLDLt
We will be in contact with those of you who fill it out with information about moving forward.
If you have any questions please ask them.

How to Monetize Your IoT APIs
Title is a little misleading, they are seeking streaming rights for their subscription service; they already have streaming rights as part of their rental service https://www.youtube.com/user/movies as of a few years ago.

YouTube is a bit late to the game on this sort of thing. 5 years ago they were the only name in streaming video and they let Netflix blow by them by offering premium content that people want (kids might spend all day watching 5 min clips of video games and cat antics but adults want the premium content).
You can only make so much power with a certain amount of gasoline - whether it's by a larger displacement engine, higher RPM, or using turbochargers to fill the cylinders with air.

If you make 300hp, it's going to take around the same amount of gasoline to do so whether you do it with a 5 liter V8 or a 2 liter turbocharged 4 cylinder.

Sure, the smaller engine is going to get better gas mileage when idling and such, and it's amazing how efficient the larger engines are these days. But in a heavy vehicle with the aerodynamics of a brick, the EcoBoost engines aren't seeing much better gas mileage numbers than the GM V8's.
