Implementing Pokémon Image Recognition in Python
I am not so sure. I don't understand work well but there have been a couple papers saying they can get a quantum speed up on factorizing using adiabatic quantum computers [1]. Further, Geordie Rise himself said that they have an algorithm that can run on a dwave system that can beat shors algorithm [2]. A more skeptical take is here [3].

To be fair to him, though, pretty much every programmer I know since I've been working on (http://inky.com) has asked me why it's hard. Email is partly hard because of the historical cruft, but there are genuinely difficult design/abstraction challenges with email as well, and even experienced developers tend to mis-predict how hard it is to make a "real" mail client.

The one exception to this was Carl de Marcken, one of my co-founders at ITA Software, and chief scientist there. He predicted -- correctly -- that it would take us 4+ years to get to an MVP.
Great, I clicked on this from an airport lounge and it was blocked. Hope I am allowed on the plane!
I am originally from India and came to the US 10 years ago. I still can't believe that you can not call up a doctor/clinic/hospital in US and get a price quote for something routine.

Chris's experience is representative of what one can expect from the Indian health care system. If you are a working, middle class person, the free market health care works extremely well.
Weird that everyone is nitpicking the HN submission title. Using the word clone is just an honest admission that the UI design is ripped off. It's fairly obvious that a "self-hosted Spotify clone" would require you to bring your own music.
Meaning, a paywall everywhere is not a smart thing to do. Yes I know content is independent of ISP, that's why I accept ads. Because that's how content producers afford to give you content without charging you.
What Google Sees in Augmented Reality
The question is whether that was outlawed in Imperial space, or if it was tacitly given a pass for the sake of the larger order, like the CIA overthrow of Guatemala's elected government at the behest of the United Fruit Corporation.
Alan Kay claimed that the big ideas of OO were polymprhism and encapsulation, which not only are first-class features of Clojure but one of its main selling points, via protocols. Haskell type classes support behavior inheritance and subclassing, with monad subclasses being the preferred way to encapsulate state.

When people talk about how their favorite FP language is not OO, it raises my hair a bit and wonder what kind of code this person produces. A Clojure programmer will throw out some multi-level map reduce that abstracts over arbitrary sequences and then jam an ordered tree map into it, and claim it's not OO. And I'm like, what do you think polymorphism and encapsulation are?
If your infrastructure has less than 5 years projected life-span, maybe you don't need to make it a #1 priority. Otherwise, if you don't start planning IPv6 now, in 5 years your infra is likely to be seen as an aging infra with too much technical debt. (similar to people just starting to realize they should probably adopt https)

One major advantage of IPv6 for the web I run into regularly: debugging attacks/issues/traffic from folks behind carrier-grade NAT is extremely annoying.

I have used Drupal 6 and 7 to create probably 20 projects in the past. Once I discovered django CMS, I never looked back. In one case, I had a customer come to me for an extension to this Drupal site I had built for them previously. It was an option that I had also quoted a price for back when I built the site, but they didn't choose that option at the time.

When they came to me for this option later, I was already in love with Python/Django/django CMS and really did not want to work in PHP/Drupal again. So, I offered to build the option, but also to re-build the entire project in django CMS and migrate it for the same price as just the option. To be fair, I probably spent about 10% more time than I was budgeted for just the option itself, but the end result was an entirely new site in django CMS with the option with all their existing data migrated over.

The client was thrilled with the result because these these resulting differences:

• The server cost to host the new site was only about 55% of that of the old site;

• Even with the reduction in server costs, the site could deliver pages 800X faster, thanks mostly to the amazing caching capabilities and Memcache integration of Django;

• Frontend performance went up by almost 2X (granted, I did clean some things up along the way);

• The administration was much easier to understand for the client. In part this was due to the brilliant Django Admin, but also due to the multiple custom integrations I quickly built to make things easier for them;

• And of course, because they now had this extra option on the site =)

Disclosure: I do work for Divio and I am one of the core-devs of django CMS, but the above anecdote all happened well before this.
The problem is that most people only feel like sharing their thoughts and feelings when something has pissed them off. Otherwise they're just carrying on with their lives.
I speculate that it isn't, and/or has never been a single person. It's likely that its a group of people who use Satoshi as obfuscation and branding. People want to believe that an ubermensch cryptographic Einstein is among us, single-handedly dragging us into the future. It's high drama for a fairly dry industry.

It's stands to reason that the more boring answer is correct- that Satoshi is a group of people from the beginning working on the blockchain and the ideology behind it. This allows the Satoshi Group to engage in public discussion about the 'chain without the starry-eyed bullshit of celebrity appeasement.
That's not really true, there's plenty of recorded instances of terror attacks on military targets (the 1983 bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut, for example).

What distinguishes the Rebellion from terrorism or insurgency is not just the choice of military targets, but its goals and methods. The definition of terrorism is the use of violence or intimidation in the pursuit of political aims. Terror attacks against military targets are designed to sow fear. The Rebel Alliance attacked the Death Star to deny the Empire the use of their planet-killing weapon, it's not so much that it was a military target as it was a military OBJECTIVE.

Also, if you look at the Rebels -- they're a military organization. They wear uniforms. They have bases. They aren't hiding among the civilian population. They're fighting the Empire in straight-up space battles, they aren't loading civilian ships down with explosives and blowing up Imperial bases with them.
Yeah I guess what I'm saying is that Apple can give people free shit all day but a director & producer will decide what goes in and what doesn't, not the prop department (as mentioned by others here)
If true, those soldiers were criminals and terrorists and they were acting against orders, at least the orders of the high command.

The US has accidentally killed plenty of civilians, of course. In the past (in World War II, for instance) they've also killed civilians deliberately. I'm not arguing that the US's hands are clean. But the US also recognizes (now, at least) that it is extremely counter-productive to kill civilians. That's why they order soldiers not to and why it is officially against the law of the United States as well as international law, and a war crime, to target civilians. It is not part of the official US strategy to target civilians - in fact it is part of the official US strategy to not target civilians. On the other hand, it is part of the official, stated strategy of ISIS, Al Qaeda, Al Shabaab, Boko Haram, and other terrorist organizations, to intentionally murder civilians in the most visible way possible.

Not quite sure what skills you are referring to. The skills of staying pseudonymous are not that difficult -- Use throw-away email address, connect via tor, use porn-mode and web interfaces for mail, identify yourself only with PGP signatures. These things will keep your identity away from anybody who isn't a government.

As for Bitcoin itself, it is not nearly as complicated as people imagine. It certainly does not take anything like an expert in security to understand or implement. It is very clever, don't get me wrong, but it requires almost no understanding of cryptography. Any competent programmer could implement/devise it easily.

Also, when I was curious about who Satoshi might be, I looked at the source code and the initial development forum. Based on that, I can pretty much say with confidence that the people who are trying to find out who he is, haven't done so :-P Not that it says who he is, but let's just say that it narrows the field pretty well...

To be honest, the reason nobody knows who Satoshi is relates a lot more to the fact that nobody with the skills to find such a person is looking.
This would make a good "Show HN:" post.
> There's a reason that the Iraqi rebels were branded as "insurgents" during that war

"Insurgent" means about the same thing as "rebel" and has no more negative connotation in modern American English usage (which is why the name is frequently applied to, and embraced by, perceived underdog political campaigns,)
It widely varies with modern games, but any experienced modder facing an isolated system will use some degree of reverse engineering from analyzing file formats to scanning functions, hooking, and building trampolines, etc.

This is also how cheats for games are developed, and some communities use more malicious forms of these modding techniques for technical challenge and the fun of it, and sometimes possibility of making a little side cash.
I don't know if it's better, but it's easy. I rarely look at my last.fm scrobbles. For me it's about hearing a variety of good music while I'm banging out code, driving, or gaming. I sometimes use last.fm and hypemachine to dig deeper but there are many more steps involved to get to hearing music that way. With Spotify, I get to be lazy.

Discover Weekly has been great. Shared playlists are great too. As for radios, they were OK when I first threw my music at them, but now I just hear the same old stuff.
Nothing wrong with this comment, should not be downvoted.
I think the point was just that the more we investigate any given area of science, the more we refine and overturn previously held ideas. I think the GP's wording was a little hostile toward scientists in tone, but I also think that may have been unintentional, based on the second sentence. Science is constantly improving on current ideas, which is great! Let's keep doing it!
I can't recommend the Coursera compilers course highly enough. It was enough to get me from zero to a fully working compiler. Albeit for a simplified language, and a really bad compiler :-)

If you did it in one of the languages for which scaffolding already exists, it'll be even easier (I did it in a different language, so had to build everything from scratch).

> this would only mask bugs, not fix them

If I get a corruption once in 100 outages instead of on every one, I'm satisfied. That it "masks" anything is not an argument at all.

The writes happen in bursts. The behavior of bursts won't change if one more write is done after the burst is over (an example) only a second later instead of waiting 30.

The "delayed allocation" is a red herring: in the optimal case, the software can instruct the filesystem to preallocate the whole file size without having to actually fill the content. If it's not common by some specific applications on Linux, that's the place to fix it.
Compilers already implement some TCO. What specifically do you mean about "reliable, robust persistent data structures" that you think is currently not possible in C++?
I watched the cartoon series "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" with my young son a few years ago and came away with an uncomfortable sense that the Jedi were morally bankrupt having created clones who they mostly treated like nameless slaves and used as cannon fodder. I haven't read the books so I don't know if the treatment is better but the Republic probably had the resources to develop and deploy drones too but they didn't, instead they chose to burn through human beings.

I've been watching the movies with my kid now that he's a little older and we're discussing the moral ambiguity.

This is what I never understood about this "make it hard to quit" strategy. If you make it EASY to quit then people won't think twice about returning, if you make it super hard then people will do everything they can to avoid re-subscripting to avoid going through that again.

To give an example:

- LogMeIn & SiriusXM Satellite Radio: Both make cancelling a huge pain in the butt. You have to call in, they bug you, and it take forever. Both I've considered re-subscribing to, and both I decided to go with a competitor (TeamViewer, and Play Music Unlimited respectively).

- Hulu+: I quit and rejoin Hulu several times a year. But they make it so easy to quit, I don't think twice about joining.

I think this whole "make it hard to quit" strategy is part of a bigger problem with businesses: short-term-ism. Meaning businesses only dwell on one quarter at a time, and ignore their own future. Often times with the management/CEO coming in, burning down a company's long term for short term profit, getting personally rewarded, and then jumping ship before the long term issues become evident.
Do you use it for its player, or its cloud library?

Music subscription was on my list. But, if you already have all the songs you'd listen to, and don't care for finding new music, what do you use it for?
Having your own stash of pirated mp3 tracks is so 1997.
Even seemingly imperceptible latency can have an effect on user perception and retention. If you're running something like a multiplayer game then you may find more people can play (e.g. two people living in the same house weren't able to play one web game I liked, because they had the same IP address). But yeah at this stage enabling it is mostly just being a good citizen. Running v6-only is much nicer than v4-only (e.g. a static IP is much cheaper, routing is simpler), but running both will of course be somewhat harder than running v4-only.
If it was depression then it would be called depression, not "facebook depression". None of the symptoms you listed are actual symptoms of "facebook depression". Perhaps you forgot your reading glasses?

Being so weak is not the only disturbing attribute of gravity.
It's also being the only far-reaching attracting force.
Far reaching, not connected to mechanical forces is only explainable with the wave model, not the mechanical counterpart, and attractive is only similar to electro-magnetism, with a completely different explanation.

That's what made Newton think of being a supernatural force created by god to hold all the planets and the universe together.

And that's what made Heisenberg say: "Are you silly? An attracting force having the mechanical interpretation, the Higgs boson, which jumps on each other nucleons back to create an attraction?"
That cannot be it.

This isn't actually the case: yes, OpenReach (part of the BT Group) owns all of the infrastructure from telephone exchange to the property as well as the initial infrastructure in the exchange, but that all supports IPv6, and OpenReach's customers (who are ISPs, not end users) are able to deploy IPv6 if they desire. It's the ISPs individual equipment (sometimes in the exchanges, but more often the routers they provide to customers) that doesn't support IPv6 and is blocking deployment: this is why some ISPs (A&A, for example) have IPv6 live.
The Tacoma Narrows Bridge Collapse and How We Got It Wrong
A couple comments.

There are pervasive claims both by prominent scientists and politicians in both parties that there is shortage of scientists (Google STEM shortage) going back at least to the 1950's. Many people even to this day starting a Ph.D. program are unaware of the long odds against getting a permanent research job.

Most Ph.D.'s in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields who leave academia find jobs as some sort of software developer, an often high paying but highly unstable and often short lived career. There are not a lot of jobs for scientific research in private industry; many research labs such as Bell Labs or Xerox PARC established in the post Sputnik 1960's period have been closed or substantially shrunk. Microsoft Research and similar outfits are not nearly as large as the Bell Labs, HP Labs, Xerox PARC of the past.

The vast majority of STEM Ph.D. students are funded through grants and contracts from funding agencies such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH) which by policy chooses to fund far more Ph.D. graduate students than there are long term positions. In most cases, the funding agencies promote the false idea that there is a current or future shortage of scientists. The funding agencies could by policy limit the number of funded graduate students to some reasonable multiplier of retirements of senior researchers each year, taking into account that some graduate students will reasonably decide to pursue other careers after completing their Ph.D.

The extremely long odds of a permanent position, most of which pay no more than a software developer with a few years of experience or an associate at a top tier corporate law firm ensure that a high fraction of the "best and brightest" will not pursue a career in research, tackling problems like curing cancer or better energy sources. The present system hopes that quantity and regimentation -- an army of easily abused indentured servants from India and other "third world" nations -- will win over quality and individual creativity. In many fields, like cancer research, over forty years of this approach has failed unequivocally.
My wife had some complications after pregnancy. UK and Ireland has GP referral system, where single doctor coordinates all specialists. In theory it is good system. But our GP ignored basic symptoms and pushed bullshit like "depression" or "have you tried acupuncture?". We paid each GP visit, even for saying hi and collecting results, it was obvious GP was just pushing for more visits.

This was going on for several months.. Eventually we visited doctor in Athens, the whole thing was diagnosed and solved in weeks. Solution was $2 pill and routine surgery.

I really recommend to anyone with some 'mysterious' health issues to visit REAL doctors.
I just read in reverse rating. It is pretty easy to determine the petty reviews or one off issues. If I am still not sure there is always google to see what people think, usually appending sucks, problems, or junk, to the product name
What's interesting is that there are louder voices about the US's need to be "more ruthless" towards ISIS. Obviously they don't mean "killing ISIS less nicely" or anything like that. What they mean is the US shouldn't care if it kills say 10 civilians for every known ISIS member. If that's what brings them the win (maybe) then they should do it.
> has frequently played a fairly central role (whether or not it was explicitly named as a paradigm) in computer science in education

Yes, but not a big role in OOP's home court: large systems with long lifespans.

> The idea that its popularity is driven primarily by novelty doesn't seem like the best explanation.

I didn't say that. I said that the low number of reported problems is likely a result of it not having seen much actual combat and coming under heavy enemy fire just yet (namely, large projects, maintenance over many years, some by inexperienced programmers). It's still fresh out of basic training (in comparison to OOP). OOP also seemed almost perfect for quite a few years.
Part of the problem is you can thank the stranglehold the AMA has around the US healthcare system to keep the number of doctors artificially low so their salaries remain ridiculously high.

Here's another example:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/new-machine-...

"Anesthesiologists tried to stop Sedasys.

They lobbied against it for years, arguing no machine could possibly replicate their skills or handle an emergency if something went wrong. Putting someone to sleep is an art, they said. Too little sedation, and the patient feels pain. Too much, and the patient dies. Anesthesiology requires four years of training after medical school, meaning careers might not launch until the doctors are in their 30s. It’s one reason the profession’s median salary is $277,000 a year, according to research firm Payscale."
Completely understand (I do the same). Hence, the need for paid reviews. Especially the less "life changing"/important it is to you.
