If you are talking about U.S. actually going into Syria, picking orphaned children and maimed people. Then fly them to U.S. proper, provide for them and educate them? I could not agree more.

And if U.S. does this to lets say 10k people, EU should take another 10K. This would not solve any real problem in the Middle east, but it would be very noble gesture.

But that would be pretty much opposite to what is happening in Europe right now. The people get help who prioritize themselves. Weak are left behind.

I've encountered quite a few of these already, I'm not sure how much incentive it actually provides by simply gamifying it.

To make it useful, there needs to be a carrot and stick. Some companies do this by way of competitions but then it becomes a resources / management issue.
Looks cool and useful, but I'd never want a 3rd party to have that dataset. Could care less about privacy policies. (They're meaningless.)

On a different level, it's very much not clear from the site itself what hardware you need to have to get all the various metrics it's displaying.

Thanks - that helps put things in perspective.

Yes ideally my goal is a product business weather it is under my current entity or a new one. Consulting work will fund and support those projects until they can sustain themselves. I'm not looking to hire employees and turn into an agency though would like to get "more professional" and simplify the consulting business.

I'm probably answering my own question after re-reading it... I should just try some of these classes and see what works.

Thanks again!

I think they still have to be counted as relatively uncommon in modern times, unless you or others can think of more than those two notorious long lived examples. Does the PRC count?

Even then, the DPRK is coming right up to that rough max lifetime, if per Wikipedia you count 1948 for its founding and 1922 for the USSR, the PRI et. al. a bit longer, but then again it wasn't quite the same thing.
So every time there's oncoming traffic (or a person on a sidewalk nearby) you'd have to stop until they were past, just in case they decide to turn/step in front of you.

As long as there are other actors in the world who may behave irrationally I don't think you have to work too hard to come up with either/or scenarios for the AI to deal with.

And even if the irrationality is removed there's still a chance of mechanical failure (e.g. tire blowout causes loss of control) which other AIs may need to make decisions on how to avoid.
While we are exploring hypothetical scenarios, here's one.

A schoolbus full of young children has lost its brakes and is careening down a hill toward an almost certainly lethal high speed impact with a building at the bottom of the hill.

Two Google cars are idling at an intersection halfway down the hill. Both determine that if one of them pulls in front of the bus just so, it will result in a survivable crash (for the kids on the school bus). But which car should go?

Both cars run a PANN (psychometric artificial neural network) analysis of their owner's email. Car A determines that its owner is an abusive sociopath. Car B determines that its owner is a nice person, newly wed and possibly pregnant. The each compare their owner's PANN scores.

Car A signals "CARMA program activated. Taking one for the team!"

The schoolbus plows into Car A, which absorbs most of the impact. The kids are fine, minor injuries only, but the owner of Car A expires before the fire department can extract him with the jaws of life.

> But lets be honest, there are some attitude somewhere in the original comment

I really don't think there was. I think he was trying to communicate how serious they are in hitting their 6 week release timeline, and that marketing a release by matching some other current event (such as a Go release with a specific version) is not important to them when compared to this. The only attitude I think should be inferred from this is that they really want to hit their release schedule.

> and I admire him being open

I think his apology was for being unclear, not for disparaging another language. I think this is just some of the left over feeling you have from the original perceived sentiment of the comment. It can be hard to shake the feeling of an initial reaction, even if you've logically processed away much of the original reason for that feeling. It probably doesn't help that there's been some anti-Go sentiment going around HN lately, but that doesn't mean that was his intention.
> Is "your thick skulls" and "stop saying stupid shit" unreasonable incivility

Yes, always and unconditionally on HN it is unacceptable incivility.

If someone is doing something which is itself uncivil which provokes you to want to respond this way, and you want to productively participate in the HN community, you should either use the flag/downvote buttons, or -- if you don't have them because the provocative post is a direct response to one of yours -- leave it to others to do so.

In practice, nobody is seriously writing Swift code (or any other code) on iOS devices. My meaning was I don't understand why this is an iOS app instead of a Mac app or even a web one (like IBM's Swift sandbox[1]).

That being said, I'm kind of impressed someone managed to get an app on the App Store that can do this. I know that Apple loosened its restrictions on code execution on iOS a while back, but as far as I am aware there's no way to compile Swift on ARM… did they write their own compiler/runtime or something?

The political aftermath of financial crises: Going to extremes
Can you or anyone give links to posts about tech or startups that you feel should have had a discussion on HN, but didn't?

We definitely don't want any of HN's classic themes to become under-represented. But (a) people have been posting complaints like this for many years (which doesn't mean that they're wrong, just that it's hard to tell) and (b) they often appear in response to a few days' fluctuation in content, which happens naturally from time to time. If we get a surge in good general-interest submissions and that coincides with a dearth of major tech news, the front page is going to look different—but not because HN has changed.

Sometimes when people say that tech stories are less represented on HN than they used to be, I look at other sites (e.g. Techmeme) to see if they're covering anything notable that HN has missed. The answer is typically no. If anyone has an idea for how we can answer this question more systematically I'd love to hear it.
Android Marshmallow changes the permission system to work like that.
During a stressful 4-6 months of college, a girlfriend who took up baking, moving countries and getting a new job I gained 40 lbs. Part of the reason why I gained so much so fast is because my scale was lost, I wore loose clothing and I was too busy to buy another scale. It took a year or two of on and off dieting to lose it all.

That is why you want these kinds of metrics, because shit like this can sneak up on you. And losing weight is way more work than gaining weight, at least for me.
Not disagreeing with you. It's a thing (someone at the linked site called it a "frablet"). Opinions will vary. Some consumers preferred the integrated Samsung approach, went with it, and have had a bad time.

This is a great point. One of our main goals with the project is to keep the api as similar to its underlying language as possible. We did this for the ObjC version, and now for Swift as well, meaning that for anyone learning C4 they’re actually learning Swift. However, there are certain points where simplifying will make changes to the language, and in those cases we’ve taken care to make sure that those changes are both modern and also reduce a lot of overhead for the developer.

Our goal is to have C4 make life easier for people: 1) those who are interested in learning UIKit can start with C4 and dig into its open-source base to gain more transferable skills, 2) those who are not interested in learning UIKit or transferable skills but just want to put something together fast, 3) people who already know UIKit / Core Animation but don’t want to deal with some of the complexity.
Sure it's a slippery slope, but let's think about this from the perspective of an open-source project (where I most see this issue debated).

If a goal of yours is to attract as many people to contribute to your project as possible, then it only makes sense to avoid using terms that might discourage others by making them uncomfortable, at least in the context of the project (issue trackers, documentation, etc). Saying, "well those words are defined as ___ in the dictionary" doesn't change the fact that you are losing potential contributors. Especially when there are other terms that work just as well, it only makes sense to avoid potentially problematic ones.

I'm not going to say you (as an individual) should stop using those words. That is your business, not mine, and if you run into any consequences of using specific words, that is also your business.
I think you're describing what Semantic Web or agent-oriented computing (esp bots) before it tried to achieve. It would be nice but it might not be possible. The reason is it's against most vendor's and service's interest to standardize their data formats and interfaces for that level of 3rd party integration. They monetize and control more if they do the opposite.

Interesting enough, inspired by Siri and AI craze, Facebook is developing a human-assisted AI that might fit the bill. I read about it recently:

http://www.buzzfeed.com/alexkantrowitz/time-to-meet-the-wiza...

Watson might be able to pull it off, too. But most people underestimate how hard this stuff is. My stuff long ago used a Tcl variant with restricted use of English verbs and grammar. It was still difficult, slower, and so on. New stuff uses deep NN's, GPU's, etc. You might get your app in next 10 years if they keep progressing as they do.
I'm glad they're open-sourcing this, but I have to say that making 8 GPUs work together is not that big of a deal. Companies like Cirrascale are making up to 16 GPUs scale linearly with a blade.
I think you really misinterpreted the person you were responding to.

I think a prerequisite to any kind of default licensing would need to be a documented good-faith effort to find the actual rightsholder. Futhermore, if they can't find them, I think they should have to put the default licensing fees into escrow, so it's not they could avoid paying anything.

You call out activists

False. I call out a specific subset of activists, and provide functional, factual/behavior-based criteria for identifying the subset. Furthermore, the criteria are independent from any particular political position or ideology.

this strategy of hate and othering is mostly used by esteblished political groups and religions.

Such "strategies of hate and othering" lead to bad and problematic behavior. The psychology involved has been foundational in the all the greatest crimes against humanity in history. The embrace of hate and othering by a group in its ideology and internally accepted conduct lead to cognitive distortions that make problematic behaviors far more likely. It doesn't matter the cause such things are done for. It's the psychology and behavior itself which are foundational problems.

So, you're saying that everyone does the same things, but activists have to do it louder? I'm sorry, but the embrace of hate is a problem, no matter what cause it's supposedly done "for" and no matter what name it goes under. That's a truth of human history and the human condition that MLK and Gandhi knew well, and which large swathes of online "activism" vocally denies and even argues against it applying to them.
I'm the target market for this app, as I lose hundreds of dollars a month in unclaimed expenses.

This is completely useless for me, it was as an app and even more so as a slack bot - I work in the sales department of a large co (as will the most profitable segment for this kind of app) and here's the things you would need for anyone at my workplace to use it:

- Concur integration of some kind, otherwise your "beautiful" PDF Is useless, because my expense department will not pay anything without the proper cover sheet.

- As you said, you want to give me some kind of email address* that I can forward an uber, air or hotel booking to and it will automagically add it to my expense report.

- Slack-only rules out the entire big co space as it doesn't run behind corporate firewall, so it's not allowed. If you want to integrate with a chat solution, go for Chatter, Yammer or Lync... or better yet, use email.

* Why email? because it's standard, and it's the way sales people are used to send tickets to salesforce.

This type of puzzle is called a “Nonogram”, and is known by many other names. They are often printed in puzzle magazines and books, and there are many computer implementations. I used to visit griddlers.net all of the time. Nintendo made the “Picross” series, including a 3D version for the DS.

Also, solving them is an NP-complete problem.
Any such update will be effectively optional, though, won't it? (I don't know, I don't own a car anymore and the last one I had used an ECU probably dumber than today's toasters.)
But with a pretty low limit on daily spend with the contactless card, it effectively has limited value too - assuming you'd cancel it within 24 hours of it being lost or stolen in most cases - and is therefore difficult to 'cash out' on for a thief. So actually both do apply to your contactless debit card, really.

Actually there's likely more incentive to pickpocket a wallet for its cash contents, rather than the contactless card(s), given in a lot of wallets this will be both greater and, by definition of course, easier to cash out on! So it seems like carrying contactless cards doesn't add any particular incentive for theft above what has existed forever with carrying cash. Also, any other security vulnerabilities with the debit card, unrelated to contactless, still exist exactly as they do today.

So, it seems to me that merging cards, i.e. adding contactless and the ability to use it for transport, and other things, seems to just add marginal convenience with essentially no added risk of theft or fraud[1]. So yes, it's not a life-changing technology and it won't mean you no longer have to carry a wallet, but it represents a small win and certainly a step improvement for everyday convenience, so that's good right? I for one simply think the fewer cards I have to carry, the better, to be honest.

[1] though I have, to be fair, heard about the issue of thieves 'skimming' contactless cards in people's pockets, I don't know if that was always just a scare story or if it's actually a real exploitable vulnerability - but this seems likely to be a pretty far-flung edge case anyway.
I like your scientific approach. It would be awesome to have continuous monitoring of blood sugar, heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, and other vital signs.

From what I have read, early type 2 diabetes can be completely controlled via diet changes as you have already started to see. The amount of insulin your body needs to make is by far the largest for carbohydrates, then somewhat less for protein, and then near zero form fat.

Probably the most succinct comparison of Nix and Docker I've seen.

So this works by having Stack (a Haskell build tool?) emit a nix file to build a Haskell project? Very cool.

The more natural approach for this seems to be to use your language's package manager spec as a base to build Nix packages. Since package manager spec files already contain build instructions, this frees you up from any dependency on a specific build system. It would then be straightforward to generate Nix packages from a repository and serve them through a Nix channel.

All that being said, I should implement this for OCaml and OPAM. Nix is amazing, but it is "all-in." Native Nix builds the right way involve all your dependencies being Nix packages. (Nix builds using a language's package manager are impure and would likely require hand-holding with external deps.) This article seems like a nice step towards solving that, but I think the real solution would be tooling around the package manager itself.
Also, they want to avoid paying the credit company fees.
"No one should ever think that they should battle serious kidney damage (and risk death) in order to finish a completely optional foot race."

I agree. But I have to ask you this question (since I see that you are quite accomplished in this area from your webpage). Isn't there a strong mental component to people who do these types of things? (I don't have that currently although I have exercised nearly every day for the past 18 or so years..) My point is if someone goes down a certain path which they believe will make them happy (or fit) aren't they compelled to keep up with what they have started for almost mental health purposes? I am reminded of when I used to run everyday even when it was snowing or raining heavily (I used to tape bags around my feet). I no longer do that and looking back I think it was a bit crazy when I did (although it felt great and as if I had accomplished something by enduring harsh (to me) conditions).

Not a crazy question, but I'm guessing it's so users can feel comfortable learning Swift wherever they are. Yes, it's true that you should be on Xcode for serious development but I'm guessing this is aimed at the user who has never coded in Swift before.
