There are several freely available LinAlg books on the 'net as well. Well, counting pirate books, there are lots of them. But even limiting it to the legally available ones, there's quite a bit of learning material out there. For example:

or

This is also a handy resource to keep around:

Sure. I like free things as well.
This. Radio networks are not reliable even in normal conditions due to weather conditions or environmental events. You can fail over to another network seamlessly and keep chugging. If your competitor's faster system is still up you may lose money and widen out or turn off a particular product complex. Not a huge deal.

Anyone deliberately interfering with licensed radio transmissions would probably get a knock from some guys in black suits pretty quickly anyway.
I think BI could mean the end of homes as an asset class. Mortgages will become a super low risk loan meaning that interest rates will go through the floor, in turn making home ownership supremely affordable. If everyone can afford a mortgage then why would anyone rent?
Tips to Improve App Store Optimization for Your Mobile App
A lab at Cleveland Clinic was placed in Immediate Jeopardy status a few months ago. They voluntarily stopped some services temporarily and were fined $600,000.

Whether or not regulations are technically "laws" is beside the point, and arguing about it so much is pedantic. The feds show up with a gun and have full authority to fine you or even padlock your lab (which has happened plenty of times). Theranos is in plenty of legal (or regulatory, who cares) hot water right now, whatever you call it.

Melbourne Car Wreckers – Cash for Cars Melbourne
"Basically we need a different way for managers to show off. Maybe they can just create some giant park with amazing sculptures as they grow to show off how impressive they are. Maybe have a single conference room in the center of a hedge maze for when those important clients come visit the office."

I couldn't help laughing imagining this one. Thanks for that.

"Over there are the computers connecting our 2,000 strong workforce around the world. Over here is a sculpture I made of them out of GI Joe's and Lego's. It took nearly 7 hours of an 8 hour workday for several months straight to build this. Next year, I'm going to re-do it in Minecraft and display it on a wall-sized TV in the lobby."

"Wow. That's really impressive productivity you people have over here. We'll buy your mainframe. Or was it a cloud? Bah, send us the invoice to our new Gmail account as the Yahoo Mail one you have on file was deleted after Microsoft's acquisition of it."
Android's crapware problem is manageable. Everything belongs to an app, apps can be uninstalled and then the crap is gone.

The problem on windows is the insidious third-party apps that inject their extensions into chrome and re-create them when you try to remove them so the only way to actually get rid of them is a specialized tool.
Or if you happen to live a few blocks away :-/.

Ok.. No problem :)
Howdy, we've had lots of issues with single threaded performance, poor memory management especially around garbage collection, we had to modify our SELinux policies as it likes to execute memory off the stack, npm has been very unreliable and often unreasonably slow, error handling of the node index app server seems to have some interesting behaviour but I haven't dug into that one too deeply yet and the list goes on. As an experienced systems engineer it's very clear that this is browser technology that was never designed not fit to run on servers.
On OS X, Chrome keeps the last two versions around. If you have more old versions, it's likely a bug or a problem with permissions. My mother's mac had the same issue as you. After I deleted Chrome.app and downloaded a fresh copy from Google, it never returned.
Mobile internet is reasonably fast (around 25MB up and down with my provider) but very expensive. About the cheapest data rate I have found is $15AUD/GB (measuring uploads and downloads). Performance is also patchy, there are blackspots with limited EDGE level connections in most capital cities and you are lucky if you have any reception in rural areas.
This was quite a good read.

Since this is HN, it may be a good idea to port this to the tech community:

> Keeping up with the latest framework

I interviewed at a company that jumped on Silverlight on the very first day because they wanted to be "edgy". One of the interviewers was telling me how they used all resources to convert their enterprise CMS. But now most people left and they are having a hard time finding people who can convert it back.
I get it, but it's a very one sided view that doesn't account for the value of a capital asset. Despite the greatest real-estate crash in the history of the US in which only one of my bordering neighbors didn't go into foreclosure, my $500K home, just eight years after I bought it has appreciated a bit more than 5% a year and before the crash was going up between 10-15% a year. Considering my loan has been at 2.65% (I got lucky with a non-subprime ARM which adjusted down) and property taxes are at 0.7% it's been a much better investment than a less expensive home. Yeah, it worked out for me, but it turns out it worked for all of my neighbors who also weathered the storm as well as a lot of other people through history.

It would seem that modeling the patient jaw development over time would be appropriate. But of course this would cost $$$ as well.

Then again, if docs were to charge smaller repeating sums for the modeling, and remove the problematic cases for free, they might end up making the same amount, with less liability and work.
Lots of downmods and zero answers in this thread. Classy.
A lot of people think Gladwell created the 10,000 hours theory, but he merely popularized it. The original research comes from K. Anders Ericsson. Here's a link to the original paper, which is actually quite accessible, if you're interested: http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/blogs/freakonomics/pdf/D...
Are you prepared for your researcher(s) to conclude that a "basic income" is a bad idea? Or is this idea part of your ideology, and no amount of looking at the world will convince you otherwise?
Yeah, I got the same impression. The article is vapid to begin and then it takes a turn for the worse with it's bullshit Buddhist propaganda.
>Stay Away from High-Income Neighborhoods

I don't generally struggle too much with the pull towards 'lifestyle inflation', but I have to say that after living in a dumpy neighborhood for several years, moving to a nicer area this year is something I've appreciated every single day.

There are trees and parks, lots of businesses and services right nearby, I save nearly an hour of each day with a shorter commute, it's quiet and clean and I feel safe walking around at night. Dollar for dollar the value has been very high for me, and I'm so thankful to have the means to choose where I want to live.
Just doesn't compute. We live in what the author would call a high income neighbourhood but that's because we wanted to live walking/bike distance to everything, which turns out to be a pretty frugal way to live. We have an old beater for a car and have never had any intention of trying to keep up with the rest of the street/neighbourhood. We see a lot of fancy around the place but meh.
Yes, probably good debt: real-estate, bad debt: automobiles.
Is Java Web Start at all an option for you? That will continue to be supported.
That is a crazy complex system. Compare this to the current Food Stamp system where the government loads money on a pre-paid card (for free - no transaction fees), and that card can only be spent on certain types of goods.
Sounds a bit to me like part of a FUD campaign or at least bluster to scare off people from seeking out tools that help protect privacy. But it does highlight a need for these tools to become more ubiquitous.
I've often wondered about the reasons someone might be unbanked. I've only ever considered the lack of immigration status or proof of address, as most unbanked people I've come in contact with were Latin American immigrants to the United States. I've never considered the "playing close to $0" and the effect it could have if your account was closed and you were placed on a blacklist. That would seem to underline the parent commenter's assertion that money transfer should be treated as a right.
I think the strongest one deployed today (A5/3 and GEA3) can be brute forced (64-bit), but typically takes far more than a few minutes.
At my company we're realizing how great of an advertising channel Facebook is, in the fact that we can immediately narrow down our target audience to people who have liked a certain page.

It's just very weird to me that a social network that everyone my age and younger never use. I never, ever post to Facebook and rarely look at it because it's just my family on it. I connect with friends over snapchat and meet new people on Twitter.

Meeting new people is nearly impossible on Facebook. Maybe that's why it's such a great advertising platform with such great revenue? Everyone is on it (your whole family joined) and the only way for a company to get your attention is to pay.

If what you are saying is true, then it's phone apps (games) driving this revenue. In that case, it seems to me that one should actually buy Apple stock. Because phone apps will only spend this kind of money on Facebook ads if they are able to generate RoI in the app store via in-app purchases. And Apple gets a 30% cut of that without doing anything. So Apple must be making as much revenue as Facebook from this phenomenon.

I like everyone won't be sad to see Java Applets disappear.

However you'd be surprised how many large or giant orgs (inc. governments) are still utilising Oracle Forms and Reports, as a mainstay. We're talking about thousands of these horrible forms going back to the 1990s.

Oracle has announced some kind of vague "way forward" for the technology but as of yet they've been light on details. They have tried to replace Forms and Reports several times but with limited success (partly because of previous investments/sunk costs, and partly because Oracle licensing costs are horrifying).

But I don't have the original torrent file anymore. If you'd be able to get it to me somehow. I'd be ecstatic to host it again in all it's original glory.
This only works in certain systems, for example the Hall sensing motion detector described in this project (see https://goo.gl/v9DODg)

How to Win at Monopoly and Lose All Your Friends
Ok, what are you supposed to spend your money on then? I wonder if the author realizes you can't take your money with you when you die. Is the point of money to just accumulate it and then pass off the balance to someone else?

Even if you have rock solid financial security, it'll one day be shattered when your health inevitably becomes poor and you die. Your net worth will become zero no matter what you do.
I don't really see how. This type of malware has been going on in browsers for a long time.

Wait. What?
From my perspective it's the very nature of our industry...
I have. Usually it's because i reconfigured the server, but I am ultra paranoid. Most people don't care, but I would expect sysadmins to do so. And who else should login with ssh?
Concurrency is not parallelism, and you're conflating the two. Multicore is for parallelism: literally doing multiple tasks at the same time. Apps are not making good use of parallelism. Apps certainly do make good use of concurrency--your example of moving background work off the UI thread is an example of that--and the Web needs to support that better. But that's not a parallelism problem, and it's not related to multicore: note that what you describe is a good idea even with only one CPU.

I can't get through the payway, but based on The Verge (http://www.theverge.com/2016/1/27/10841600/starry-wireless-g...) story and comments that I've seen here, I think I'm going to have to be pessimistic on this one. As a millimeter to radio wavelength astronomer, I wish them luck transmitting signals through any sort of inclement weather or in locations of high humidity.
Yeah, usually astronomers say "extrasolar planet", or exoplanet for short.
Social status and programming tools are really comparable. Programming tools evolve so fast and they do help you, as more things are abstracted. However, there is still a necessity to to things the traditional way sometimes.

It's not really a counter-example. There are regions of China with much worse pollution from heavy industry, like smelters.
mkempe has written a very false description of Marx's work. It is a poor basis for a discussion of basic income programs in relation to Marxian thought.

Furthermore, mkempe has pointed to six historic nations as example of "basic income" gone wrong. None of the six examples he chose offered a basic income guarantee.

I won't dwell on this much but take for example this falsehood:

"This "research" proposal is merely a technocratic rehash of Marxism: the inexorable forces of materialism and technological improvements entail endless progress driven by a Hegelian spirit."

Marx made fun of the idea that history was driven by something like a "Hegelian spirit" (see Critique of the German Ideology).

Although Marx did use the word "materialism" in the phrase "historic materialism", it has no real relation to what mkempe describes here. (See Socialism: Utopian and Scientific)

Marx argued that competition among capitalists, not "spirit" was driving technological improvement in the productivity of labor. (Many places but Capital for example.)

One might say that "Marxism" is not "Marx" and that's fair enough. But Marxist thought, though it often wanders away from Marx, does not involve "Hegelian spirit" or "inexorable forces of materialism". The opposite, actually.

Realizing that the "forces of materialism" DID NOT entail "endless progress", both the Soviet Union and China set out to raise their level of development from agrarian to industrial. Both did so, and quickly.
I play competitive chess, and I assure you most moves are made because of players proving in their minds that a move is objectively good.

The reasons for why the player may think the move is objectively good can vary, but they are almost always linked to rational considerations. E.g. that the move increases their piece count, their control of center squares, their attacking opportunities, or is tactically necessary due to the position.

My point being that when grandmaster players play chess, they are just as interested in finding objectively right moves as a computer is. Unless it's speed chess it's rarely a "I suspect this might be good" sort of thing.

(That said, many grandmasters do avoid lines of play they consider too dangerous. World Champion Magnus Carlsen's "nettlesomeness" - his willingness to force games into difficult positions - has been one explanation for why he beats other Grandmasters.)

I found a number of threads about this, many in the Google Support forums. The best solution I could find is:

* Disconnect your Google profile from Chrome.
* Close Chrome
* Re-open Chrome
* View chrome:extensions. You should see it there. You can delete it.
* Reconnect your Google profile

Let me know if that works, and I'll try to update our docs on it.
Uh, the referrer is the page you came from. So if he opened the page on HN, then he wouldn't get the Google referrer, he'd get a page off HN.
If my memory serves me, DeviantArt had something similar to this around a decade ago, and I thought it worked very well. It's an entirely different platform though. Also, I don't remember them having such annoying animations, nor omitting such basic emotions as "joy" because "people don't understand it".

D|A appears to have axed this system though, for whatever reason. I hope it works out better for Facebook.
> a deficiency in any nutrient is less to do with a lack of it in the diet and more to do with the body's ability/willingness to absorb and utilise it

I too have come to realise this. Many times when I have been eating well, good quality food with plenty of variety, I catch a heavy cold that puts me out of action for at least a couple of days. Other times I have eaten like crap for weeks at a time, living off of pizza and fast food, skipping meals, and been around sick people and still don't catch anything. I have seen this pattern repeat over and over throughout my life.
Reverse Engineering a Career (2011)
I stand corrected! I forgot that it's all relative, but within reasonable geographic limits.
To get decent coverage you need to negotiate and pay for space, power, and internet connectivity on thousands of towers/tall buildings all owned by different people and municipalities who see you as somewhere between an annoyance and a revenue stream to exploit. Then you need a field workforce capable of performing maintenance at all of those sites (which requires making appointments and sometimes paying fees to the property owners), a supply chain of spare parts, and the RF expertise and test equipment to measure and do quality control on their coverage all around the cities you're operating in.

Then you need a way to recoup all this cost.

Being a cell carrier takes staggering amounts of money and staggering amounts of schlep. It's not for hobbyists, hackers, or small companies (who are not in fact carriers but just resell and rebrand real carriers' services). There is a reason it's the domain of giant corporations run by the kind of people who make deals (and not write code) for a living.

The hash map first needs to determine whether it already has a value with such a key or not, which requires some checking that typically involves many instructions and is not atomic. And to determine that, you at least need a read-lock.

Time. I'm lucky I get to trade some money for time. Instead of spending the weekend cleaning my house I can pay someone fortnightly to do it for me. I can pay for a meal to be delivered to me if I don't want to cook for myself. I can pay for my groceries to be delivered to save me having to wait in line at the store.
Sorry for the throwaway, I work in ad tech. Other posters are saying they see hardly any fraud on Facebook. My employer is a more traditional ad tech company (think exchange and direct buys) and we estimate 60-70% of our exchange inventory is fraudulent, and at least 15% of our impressions are delivered against fraudulent sites (of course we don't tell the customers). In reality the numbers are probably higher. The problem is that literally everyone except the end customer is making money off this. As soon as anyone talks about the need to do something about it the whole "let's not rock the boat", "what about our revenue targets", "well you can't tell Sales that" crowd comes out.

I personally think there's a reckoning coming soon to traditional ad tech. There is so much fraud, such ludicrous and impossible revenue and impression targets, so much pushback against shitty and annoying advertising, and so little incentive to be honest with the customer. It can't last like this.

Something similar has also been my thought re: Internet providers forcing TLS root certs on you to MITM you. Even if, at some dystopian point in the future, ISPs stop allowing traffic they can't MITM through their networks, you can always accept their root cert into your OS's TLS stack... and then just turn around and:

1. configure your browser to use a separate CA store from the OS one;

2. set up a VPN tunnel to a jumping-off-point not within your ISP's reach;

3. hide that tunnel's traffic steganographically within a regular "encrypted but actually MITMed" connection to your VPN server.

These three steps could even be put together into a little middlebox to put between your home router and the Internet, so each device could keep its OS-level CA store sane, while still appearing to the ISP that everything is regular MITM-able traffic.
Cell towers are fixed objects. Has any work been done in detecting these planes based on the fact they are the only cell towers around moving at 100+kph? Could standard cellphone gear be sensitive enough to measure or at least guess at any doppler effect?
