It is very bad.

You really just have to try and raise money there to realize how bad. Most of Scandinavia are still in many ways caught in the idea of loans rather than risky investments.

And most investors in Europe are very risk averse.

It has to get licenses for the content for each country separately which would make the costs very high.
It's a great reference book, and does a good job of citing the work that you actually want to use for your implementation. The code in the book itself (especially the C and C++ versions) should usually be taken with several large grains of salt.

This was my first thought. The only difference between me and the climate change skeptics I know is that they have no faith in the integrity of scientists, and I do. "See, the oil and gas industry has been buying off scientists!" won't help my argument, they'll just think that it's a countervailing force to all the scientists on the other side of the question who are being bought off by …whoever they think it is.

Edit to add: Furthermore, I don't think this is unreasonable of them! Figuring out which experts to trust is a really hard problem in a society as complex as ours has become, and this makes it harder to argue for "you should trust scientists".

Exactly. It's more of an analogy than based on any specific access to talent. There is great design talent in Scandinavia but thats just not enough to build a company.
I agree but I'll say it differently. I don't believe anyone can ever have a personal grievance with one they have never personally interacted with.

How to Write About Characters Who Are Smarter Than You
Interesting points. I think there are many ways to use Google Analytics that go beyond what many people want from "visitor data". [Some of t]he kind of questions GA can answer is only possible if one is willing to collude in destroying (meaningful) privacy.

I've had "simple foss analytics" on my todo-list for quite some time. I'm hoping one can build on what piwik have collected wrt bot agent strings, ips etc - and combine with a simpler collector (adding php to the stack just for analytics isn't very appealing, never mind a php codebase of somewhat questionable quality).

Snowplow looks good, but I'm not sure if they have a supported "self-host" stack yet (they started out very awz/s3 centric).

I actually think there's room for a new product, that puts a little bit more thought into what questions it makes sense to ask, and how best to answer them (eg: does collecting metrics on every visitor even make sense if you can answer the same wuestions just as well by doing random sampling? You might want to quantify where your bandwith goes - but simple log analysis might do that easily enough - and it might have very little to do with your human visitors etc).
the spelling of "silicone" looks intentional to me. the review is titled "Like the US is the only country to produce tech."

'Craig Wright of Australia wrote, a bit petulantly, “Always the assumption that [Satoshi Nakamoto] must be a bloody yank. The analysis of who Satoshi is is always so limited.”'

Possible. Kleiman seems to have stuck to not outing Satoshi at the expense of his own money problems.
I think if ingredients were disclosed that, first, harmful ingredients would be reduced or eliminated by the makers, and next the public could debate the issue of banning indoor e-cigs from a position of knowledge.

If every product had to disclose this, then ideally you could recursively query for every component chemical. At that point, not only would banning e-cigs be discussed but also probably many building materials and cleaning products. And we'd be able to ban on a granular level, e.g., any product emitting more than 10 ppm diacetyl.

The value he creates isn't so simple. He didn't invent basketball as an artist of tech guru might invent a new form of entertainment. He exists within a longstanding system involving thousands of other people. He gets his millions because that is the fair market value of his services. I would never criticize him for making that much.

But I would certainly criticize a system whereby non-fans of basketball, specifically cable subscribers, are leveraged into supporting sports they never watch.

Inferno-rpi-0.4 release
By ADMIN | Published: DECEMBER 7, 2015
Releasing Inferno-rpi-0.4

Changes:

* Significant performance improvement due to fixed error in process scheduling/idle

* Boot time is about ONE second :)

Download:

* https://bitbucket.org/infpi/inferno-rpi/downloads/inferno-rp...

Installation:

1. Download latest zip package from https://bitbucket.org/infpi/inferno-rpi/downloads

2. Pepare SD card with first DOS partition with size less than 250 MB (vfat32 support is not complete)

3. Unzip all files to SD (boot.scr, kernel.bin, … – should in root of SD)

4. Boot Raspberry Pi

5. By default it starts “`styxlisten -A tcp!*!564 export /“`, so you can mount it on other host by “`mount -A tcp!10.0.56.101!564 /n/remote/rpi“` (-A means no auth, IP is for example, see what it got by DHCP)

6. If you do not want GUI (wm/wm) to be started just edit config.txt and replace kernel.bin to kernel-nogui.bin

>but then there's the solve x algorithm questions. Which ultimately is an exercise in memorization. At this point I've just accepted that i'll have to do that.

Pedantic (but hey this is HN), but I don't think algorithms are a question of memorization all the time. Sure, "implement quicksort" is a bit silly, but "rotate this binary tree" is eminently reasonable as a shibboleth to comfort with data structures

Agree about it not being super useful for a lot of interviews though.

This is clearly not being billed as a question about non-disclosure of funding, so you can understand why people might think it's not the smoking gun evidence of misconduct it is purported to be.

To me it feels like the headline and the story are that these guys have a conflict of interest because of the funding (i.e. "we paid these scientists to say climate change isn't a problem"), but in fact everything in this article is consistent with it going the other way around - they have a conflict of interest because they have strong beliefs on a scientific topic, and may be willing to do dodgy stuff in favor of that.

I never said that nothing wrong happened (I honestly don't know), just that it feels like a bait-and-switch because I get the strong implication here that the point of this story is that these guys are taking bribes to induce them to say what they are saying, which is very different from "they are hiding the source of the funding which enables them to say what they are saying".

>And do what? Abide?

Why not? Not everyone is ambitious. Heck, I doubt more than about 25% of any generation would work if they didn't have to. It's one thing to be pulling down $100+/hr in a rewarding job building the digital future, but if you're working a fry vat you're gonna quit the first time the boss pisses you off.
You actually take vacation days for interviews? I either call in sick or come in late. I usually provide a plausible excuse, like having to take my cat to the vet. Or maybe my foot is bothering me, and I had to wait to get an appointment.

Just the other week, I ran out for a meeting with a potential new employer in the middle of the day. All I said was I "had to run an errand." If I was less checked out, I would've made up a real excuse and told them I needed to get a blood test.

Most people are totally non-confrontational. You're not going to get called out on your little white lies. Obviously you can't use the same excuse 10 weeks in a row, so mix it up a bit.

I think ToroDB is super cool, and I wish your project the best of luck! You can't go wrong building something on PostgreSQL. :)

That said, PostgreSQL FDW is NOT a great option for MongoDB analytics. Not only is the data model so different that you lose the ability to answer many types of questions, but Multicorn supports only basic pushdown (conjunctions of simple relational operators on original columns).

What this means is that analytics via PostgreSQL via FDW via Multicorn via MongoDB suffers from (a) very poor expressive power, and (b) ridiculously slow performance, since nearly any type of query will require at least one full table scan on all the source tables (in some cases, especially with arrays, many more full table scans may be required for a single query!).

Better off just using ToroDB. Am I right? :)
>What's holding Twitter back?

Their desire for advertising revenue perhaps.

I really wish that federated services were more popular. I am not really willing to pay the cost (in privacy violations, uncertainty, etc) of a lot of these centralized services like twitter and facebook, but I'm marginal enough that there's a distinct possibility I'd use something like diaspora.
That's how I feel twitter operates now though. If you don't keep scrolling until you reached something stale you'll miss something. Start following a handful of power users and you'll start taking twitter breaks like smoke breaks.

Well, you might start off down that path, but eventually you'd find that if you try to execute analytics via PostgreSQL via FDW via Multicorn via MongoDB, you're only able to push conjunctions of simple relational operators on original (non-derived) fields in the source collection.

What that means is virtually any query will end up executing (via PostgreSQL via FDW via Multicorn via MongoDB) by first pulling out all (!) the data from all (!) source collections, relocating it to MongoDB, and then executing the query. Possibly, in fact, these full collection scans might be repeated multiple times, especially for nested data, crosses, and other types of operations.

And then you'd decide that "solid engineering decision" wasn't so solid after all. Then hopefully you'd quit MongoDB and go work on PostgreSQL full time. ;-)

I scored a job doing investigative due diligence by threatening the hiring manager's family.

I didn't know I was being interviewed, we were just two people seated alongside one another at a wedding reception, having pleasant casual conversation. She made me feel totally at ease, complimented my suit, laughed at my jokes, and was really inquisitive about me. After an hour of answering her questions, I began to notice that she wasn't answering any of mine. She would subtly bring the conversation back around to me. In isolation, it never felt evasive, but the pattern of doing so did.

So, I casually commented that she must have been a middle child to be so adept in conversation. She smiled and indicated that, in fact, she had just one younger brother. To which I responded: "And now I know you have a younger brother, so why don't you tell me what this interview is all about."

After collecting her jaw from the floor, she offered me a job.

I guess you can file that under being approached by them first, but I thought y'all might enjoy the story.
> now that there will be less "classes"

How do you think that this would translate to less "classes"? I know some number of humans, and based on this limited experience, I'd be surprised if there wasn't some sort of "makers" and "takers" class dynamics emerge.
The FDA says that is under the daily maximum:

Facebook is not, nor has ever been a charity for its users benefit - anyone presuming you can operate a business (or a successful anything) with no cash flow is deluding themselves, advertising is a free and easy way to get cash flow.

The users freely give their personal information to Facebook for the benefits they obtain from it, its well disclosed what Facebook is going to do with that information, and Facebook gives you a modicum of control over how that information is presented to the general public.

I don't know what more people expect.
Garbage, lets hear the truth from Scott Aaronson first.

It seems like expectations would be lower for a tablet because they're a secondary device. With a phone there's a whole host of things you need to build (maps, mail, messages, FB, Twitter, etc.) because it's often the only device people have on them.

With a tablet I would at least have a good browser, which would cover most of my idle browsing. And if there is something I absolutely must do on Android then worst case is I pull out my phone and use that instead.
ah, you're right. The movie theater I saw the movie at had a contest at the same time. Fill out a form, drop in a big decorated box, and if your name was drawn you won a C64.

The contest was, if I recall correctly, tied to the movie. Like, win a computer "like" the one Matthew used in the movie War Games.... or something along those lines.

My friend and I took home a stack of those forms and filled out at least 100 (probably more) but we didn't win.

Fun & memorable times. Thanks for the info on the IMSAI.

I'm reposting the top response to this same story on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/3vxbzo/chemical_fl...) because this person says it better than I can, and no one else here has said made these points yet:

Oh boy, time to crosspost for information's sake.

Even diactyl containing e-juice still contains 100x less diacetyl than traditional cigarettes. [Citation: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/tox.20153/pdf[1] ] And no smoker to date has ever gotten "Popcorn Lung" (Named because it occurs years after dumping pure uncut diactyl into vats and bins when making cheapo microwave popcorn in the factories.)

And despite all that- It's still largely the other factors and chemicals and tar and actual combustion that damages your lungs when smoking is involved. Not diacetyl specifically.
Even 100x the amount of diacetyl as e-juice is apparently not enough to cause the "Popcorn Lung" issue related to the compound specifically. So why would 100x less than the amount that does not cause it suddenly start to cause it? Not that it's 100 percent safe (As mentioned by a replier as well- So I have appended my post some for accuracy and fairness.) Just that it's not the immediate or unavoidable threat it's being presented as.

And in the span of 7+ years even in the heaviest vape users no one has (yet, mind. For the sake of fairness and caution.) reported any major health issues tied to vaping or the compounds contained in e-juice. If the 75ml a day heavy diactyl juice user doesn't get popcorn lung then I highly doubt popcorn lung is a problem to watch for regarding it.
Also there are many many e-juices available without diactyl. So even if it was an issue you can actively avoid it. And most manufacturers have discontinued it's use or clearely state if their juices are diacetyl free so the risk factors that are purely tied to diacetyl are avoidable and preventable.

As far as being paranoid about what's put in it- This is purely my opinion but, I think that is razorblades in your kid's halloween candy or "Shadey people handing out drugs for free/Lacing your kid's flintstones vitamins with PCP" levels of unfounded overconcern.
Caution is important- But so is research and fact checking.

Edit: To append this to- I am not defending the use or previous use of the substance, merely dispelling the immediate "Popcorn Lung" panic around it. I personally don't use e-juice containing it for the sake of risk reduction in general as I like to limit as many potential factors as possible in general. And there are hundreds- if not thousands of brands and types which do not contain diacetyl to choose from which I would recommend.
I am also not claiming vaping is 100 percent safe- Just that this instance is an avoidable factor and has been for a while.

Personal safety and active research should always be practiced in all facets of life.

Libertarianism has a lot of 'freedom!' rhetoric, but absolutely nothing in it is community-building. Any care for fellow humans in libertarianism (though I have yet to see a libertarian argue for community over individuality in anything) comes a distant second to "my stuff is MY stuff".

Libertarianism is a philosophy that rewards the wealthy and those with in-demand skills. It very much isn't a philosophy about caring for fellow humans in any way but lip service.
