One could presumably increase the margin for a classifier such that, to classify a sequence of price movements as a BUY or SELL, the predicted movement must be higher than what it is now (0.002% increase/decrease threshold)

It appears to only give you a warning when using Windows, Chrome, and on a desktop. Says they are using SHA1 and RSA.
On the topic of physical disabilities in particular (social and intellectual challenges are more tricky) - I think we need better ways of simulating disability for able-bodied folks, and more willingness to have people use those tools.

This can be as simple as a tool on your desktop that limits the color output of your machine (in various types of color blindness), or blurs the screen to particular partially sighted simulations. Not in-app, but general. And we need to enforce their use as part of development.

Physically, there are companies that will train staff by putting them in wheelchairs and asking them to navigate their space. How welcoming is it for a wheelchair user? Can they get through the pull to open door? Can they get into the bathroom to get as far as the accessible stall? As a wheelchair user myself, I often get the feedback that people just didn't realise how difficult things were in their ADA compliant buildings, because nobody had tested it out.

We test things on multiple devices, with multiple sets of capabilities, but we don't do a good job of testing as users with multiple sets of capabilities.

"My company hires H1B visas not because they are cheaper, but because we can't get anyone here to do the job at reasonable rates."

Sounds like "H1B visa holders are cheaper" to me. High quality engineers should be commanding on the order of $250k. In the absence of H1B visa holders lowering wages, that's what high quality engineers would command as an average salary; same as a good doctor or lawyer.

The main reason doctors and lawyers cost that much: you can't H1B them. Lawyer skills are too specific to a locality and subsection of the trade; for whatever reason, law school doesn't actually help with this -experience, networking (particularly for criminal law) and apprenticeship is how it ends up working. LLD is just a hoop that needs to be jumped through to get such apprenticeships. The AMA is the most effective labor union in America, keeping out highly skilled doctors from abroad by denying their skills validity.
My first serious bit of computing was on an Amiga2500 with a Video Toaster card. At the time Windows for WorkGroups was getting a lot of attention so I started playing around with PCs and eventually bought a Windows notebook. I was shocked to learn that with Windows I could not seamlessly download a file in the background and continue other work. I eventually installed OS/2 and ran Windows in its own space just so I could multitask like I was accustom to doing on an Amiga. Amiga users were (and some still are) a fanatical bunch for good reason.
OP here.

I'd presume that someone who is better versed in wall-street style algorithmic trading could speculate better than i what a mature cryptocurrency trading market would look like.

I'm curious to see what a mature market in this space looks like. It'll surely be different on a currency-by-currency basis, because volume, market depth, and fundamentals matter greatly and are unique on a per-currency basis. Time will tell.

As to whether profitable automatic currency trading competes with mining for compute time, I posit the following question to you: Are the two mutually exclusive? In a world with (1) scalable compute power via AWS, Digital Ocean, etc, and (2) both are profitable, why not do both instead of one?

He has said slavery is a "natural human relationship." http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.com/2009/07/why-car...

He has said he is amenable to white nationalist writings. http://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.com/2007/11/why-i-a...
He has expounded at length on the suitability of certain races for slavery.

He has frequently called for the dissolution of the form of government that has spent decades and an incredible body count to outlaw slavery.

Mysteriously this doesn't quite add up to a wholesale endorsement of enacting slavery in the US. Just in whatever part of the world he'd like to help Thiel and the ultra-conservative libertarian people build.

And quite frankly, plain naked racism is almost always the justification for enacting slavery. Just because it's convenient for him to say he doesn't endorce active conversion to his "natural" relationship today doesn't mean that the notions aren't a direct precursor and a justification for said actions.

Lisp is not a functional programming language. Lisp is a multi-paradigm programming language. Functional programming, although awesome, is not the optimal choice for everything. Designers of Lisp understood this, so the language tries to get out of your way as much as possible. No programming language is perfect sadly, and Lisp too has its warts, but programming in Lisp compared to any other mainstream programming language, once you master it, is like walking up a hill after losing 200 pounds of weight.

You have every right to look at data going in and out of your phone. This is different from finding a vulnerability on a web site. You can't be accused of "hacking" their web site.

I've had this problem with iDrive, the backup program. If you use their web interface, they send the encryption key to the server as plain text and decrypt at their end, not in the browser. They denied this when I told them about it. I sent them dumps of the web traffic.

The reasoning behind why lotteries can be damaging to the socioeconomically disadvantaged is similar to that of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. It offers an escape and "hope", as some have put it for the lottery, but there is almost an infinitesimally small chance that something good will come out of it.

The problem with this is not people playing the lottery in general (even if it is objectively throwing away money). I've even bought into the office pool a few times more as "social insurance" than anything else. The problem IS that the lottery takes advantage of those who need that marginal dollar the most under the pretense of funding state education, which, according to John Oliver, doesn't even seem to be true[1].

Type inference is antithetical to the whole ethic of Java, which is to develop programmers' discipline by making them perform rote tasks commonly done by a compiler.

It would also harm the professional users, lowering their productivity as measured in keystrokes/day.

I use Chrome's profile feature, to have separate Google accounts signed in.

And my tabs tend to be in "clusters". E.g. I'll have one cluster (5-10 tabs) where I'm doing research on IPv6, another where I'll have a cluster on some JS, another on say, Python list performance etc.

I remember where each cluster is, and even some of the tabs within each cluster - so I just page quickly to that cluster if I know I need to retrieve that info.

Also, I tend to not be that disciplined when bookmarking or filing stuff - so there's that as well.

I'm still yet to find a good lightweight note-taking system - Confluence as a wiki isn't bad, but is still quite heavyweight.

No, those rules are about protecting me from my neighbor. They're perfectly reasonable, both as timeless moral norms and as law.

The problems begin when I want to control my neighbor's behavior in ways that have nothing to do with protection. If I feel the need, for example, to prohibit him from having a gay relationship because it's against my religion. Or telling him that smoking one plant is fine, but if he smokes a different kind of plant I'll call men with guns over to his house to stop him.

That is what I mean by moral authoriarianism.
If I buy a ticket, it's not for the expected value, it's for the dream. A couple bucks isn't bad for an excuse to dream. (I also only play a couple times s year.)
I've been purchasing a lotto ticket every week for a decade at least. At some point I realized I wasn't playing to win a much as I was playing for the entertainment value (Actually I discovered this when I realized I had a years worth of unchecked tickets in my drawer and needed to check them before they expired.)

Really... If buying a ticket lets you take a break and day dream 'what if' scenarios then it's not only a de-stressor it also gets you to think outside-the-box and discover ideas that do help you in practical ways. I'd say my un-won tickets turned out to be a better investment than many other comparable expenditures, like for example drinking fucking pop.
Your profile statement is interesting given Im going opposite route: from high-assurance security in software to learning hardware cuz software cant free us on subverted, inherently-insecure hardware.

The inventor can benefit from a patent by selling it.

Maybe they don't want to raise millions of dollars and spend years building a business that may or may not eventually generate $20 million in profit over the next couple decades, and would rather just sell it now for $1 million and get back to creating!

Even if they wanted to take the time and risk to use it directly, the skills required to invent something and the skills to profit from it aren't necessarily the same.

You have a good point. Ember triggers a weakness in V8's optimizations causing repeated optimizing and de-optimizing of core Ember functions, which takes time and generates lots of garbage, and V8 should fix that.

My understanding is the V8 team _is_ attempting to fix Ember (and Ember-style code) performance on multiple fronts, things like adding an interpreter, tuning how opt and de-opt are triggered, maybe adding dev tools that make it clear when script is spending time de-opting. Probably the most important thing would be to get more realistic workloads into benchmarks.

Ember does appear to be a pathological case though. Every other framework of similar size has managed to attain decent performance on Chrome.

One take-away here is that JS developers should not assume that all code is fast in all VMs. Optimizations are often (very educated) guesswork, and developed and tested against some corpus of benchmarks. If you use a pattern that isn't common in the benchmarks, you might trigger an unexpected problem. Framework developers should measure performance across browsers early, before baking in any hard to change design decisions.
Anybody want to buy one? Let me know :-)

(edit) To clarify, my Dad still has one, and with all the VHS decks and monitors and mixers and such it's kinda like a mainframe and takes up a huge amount of space. But could be fun for the right, uh, museum? :-)
This is cool but it certainly makes things more complicated. It adds a kernel mode thread per process.
CGA 4-color mode was extra "fun" after SIMCGA munged it to black and white pixels with a different aspect ratio.

The work on third-party firmware is not directly a part of GalliumOS, but the projects are symbiotic. You've probably encountered the folks who focus on firmware in other venues as well.

I know booting arbitrary Linux distros is not a goal of factory firmware builds, but often it's almost there -- just not fully implemented, or not fully tested. If you're in any way involved in keeping that functionality alive, we appreciate it.
I guess the glow of our glorious and decisive victories in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam blinded me.

People matter.
No one denies that we are constrained by nature and limited resources. There are two things that preclude your hypothetical "collapse" event from happening.

1. Scientific discovery and innovation. People were all in huge panic in the 17/18/19th century about the ability of our limited amount of land to feed the (exponentially-growing) populace, yet discovery of new methods/technologies increased the hypothetical yield such that the point became moot.

2. We live in a feedback-loop system. In the absence of perverse (and universal) government incentives, society will slow-down as resources become scarce. That is, until point number 1 kicks in again and the cycle starts fresh.
The interesting bit I was eagerly anticipating is buried way down in "3.1 Exception-Less Syscall Interface." How'd they do it? Syscall pages. This sounds really interesting, though apparently not terribly new.

I'd be really concerned about trust issues, but I'm sure it could be done safely. Lots of room for corner cases, especially w/NUMA.
These disjoint, disorganised movements exist to try and avoid another issue; that of a single person or group of people who can be 'discredited' or attacked by their enemies.

If you have a proper structure, you provide targets to discredit in order to bring down a movement or group. Groups like Occupy and Black Lives Matter and whatever else don't want a 'pope' like figure that the media can focus all their efforts on attacking, nor an organisational structure that can get infiltrated or corrupted.

Unfortunately, that causes the trade off you mention; you have no way to control the message your movement sends. This is what's caused so many problems with GamerGate as well, the fact it's entirely based on a hashtag and a loosely associated bunch of forums and blogs means that their enemies accuse them of absolutely everything they don't like that day.

But it's a trade off. Either have it decentralised and avoid the issue of a single leader/organisation being a media target (but lose the ability to control the message and who's involved) or have it centralised with a clear leader and structure at the cost of these people getting attacked non stop by their enemies and people trying their best to decredit/arrest/potentially kill them.

Seeing as most of Chrome is open-source and on Github, that's probably a little far-fetched....

It's more likely that most people within Google use Chrome (can confirm), and that if you notice your webapp is performing slowly, you could conceivably go over and speak to the Chrome developers to get them to look into it if it's a performance bug and fix it.
Mostly I'm confused why a nearly 15 year old, poorly-written journal article appeared on HN today with no comments. And I wasn't kidding: I'm familiar with the state of the art and reading it from the title on down it really felt like something a bot glued together.

There was some buzz around convolution methods in the late 90s. Lake DSP had a notable patent which actually inspired some research. Most if not all of these methods now exist in Matlab and scipy.signal.convolve with far better documentation.

But I grow weary of random, crappy HN links like this one that really feel like some enthusiast did a Google search but didn't even read the paper.

Interesting data, worth the read.

Of course, it is foolish to expect 4-digit PIN numbers to provide any significant level of security against a brute-force attack ordered by most common choices first. Numbers are probably the wrong tokens for PINS since they have a sequential ordering that is difficult to ignore when making "random" choices.

Hey nextos, I'd love to hear about your work, but your profile doesn't contain your email. Mine does, can you drop me a note?
I think they're a wash. Without them, you don't get patches unless you explicitly check for them. With them, you might not get patches anyways (like many Android phones), and are forever vulnerable to server-side breaches, or the manufacturer going out of business. Worst of all, an attacker only has to compromise the update server to compromise every associated device, rather than having to hack said devices one at a time.
When complaining, he says, "if you don't like it, just quit."

He's not only firmly placed himself into asshole territory, with that statement -- he's given you as clear a hint as he can possibly give that he doesn't believe the company has any future, either -- and is essentially trudging on in "zombie mode" for a few more weeks (or at most months). Until it is either acquired or dissolved.

That said -- and being short on time as I write this: if (as I'm suspecting is most likely the case) financial constraints prevent you from simply walking out the door (even before finding another job), then you can at least look into the contract as to whether you are required to be be on the premises "as directed by the company", or are required to work more than the usual 40 hours a week, or similar language.

If not -- the you have every right to tell this guy that it's simply not in your contract to work that many hours, or to be in the office that late.

But tread carefully please, and definitely consult a lawyer before deciding on any course of action.
> closer to the original intent of the patent system which was to incentivise creators

Speaking about incentives, the USPTO still has an incentive to accept as many patents as possible. This is a bit like paying fishermen for the fish they didn't catch.
