I guess it depends on your needs. Elasticsearch is a great option, and if you're looking for visualizing the data then it can be used together with Kibana to create cross-data graphs and visualizations. For the kind of data volume you're talking of, you'll need a fully scalable stack, with queuing and other buffers to handle traffic.

You probably did the right thing. You're not Duke Nukem.
You can only start an avalanche, it has no 'stop' button if it goes to a place you'd rather not.
Definitely. An intelligent mugger likely isn't going to pull the trigger unless they think they have to or that have no choice. Of course, you have almost zero control over that so that probably sounds rather trite.

I was just joking about the dumb one shooting you, though I think any mugger would be pretty pissed if you rattle off a long gibberish password rather than "password1."
Historically GPL is a protest against software copyright, Stallman's shock reaction against companies invoking the concept. It's interesting that it has come full circle and now it is used as argument for respecting software copyrights!

Ask a question in a lecture? The 100+ other people in the room are now staring at you like you're an idiot, despite the fact that most probably have the same question.

It's called life - there's a lot of feelings involved, good or bad. Sooner you learn to cope with them, the better life becomes and for those around you.
Navigating any terminal software without a true keyboard is an exercise in frustration. Look, I understand what you're saying, but claiming that an ssh client on a phone is a full-fledged replacement for a touch-optimized UI is disingenuous.
I would think it shouldn't be used in the real world because an 80% guess rate of gender based on name is really terrible compared to other naive approaches, like "list of 1000 most common names by gender".
I use side projects for R&D and fun. All I invest is time and domain names and effort.

I also like them as ways to collaborate with friends and strangers.

Right now I'm working on a CI tool, a browser testing tool, a web app for collaborating on song chord sheets, and a new kind of real time database.

The chord app is for my band, and some friends are helping. It might become useful for other people.

The CI and test tools are infrastructure that I'll use for other projects.

The database is a stepping stone for a long term project...

The story feels a bit made up and the end reads like a tag line: "If you want to find out why I had the wearables on me — check out emozia."
Commendable and worth remembering the next time it happens to you. But do remember... Sadly this can backfire. Repeatedly doing this can get you fired, suspended, grounded, or suffering whatever other punitive action the "superior" is capable of metering out.

Yes, especially as you can only get support on a single instance with the $500/month developer plan. $4000/year minimum if you want support for your HA cluster.

One of the items in the pricing table is "Indemnification - Limit your liability from using Grafana".

Does anybody know what this means? What will having a higher-level support plan indemnify me from?
Ah, yes. Every wearables-related startup loves unique sensor data. Muggings are apparently very unique and interesting. I bet murders would count, too. You can get a big spike and then a flat line.
to be fair, most medium articles have some kind of plug like this at the end

There are various countries with that kind of tax https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_copying_levy .Somehow Austria is missing on this List but I'am pretty sure they already have it ( http://futurezone.at/english/there-is-no-right-to-private-co... ).

1. Scale. A 10 GB file has a few million 4kB blocks, a 10 GB database may have a billion records. Worse, moving a block takes a read, typically a seek, and a write; moving a record takes the same because the disk works at block scale (this could change with flash memory). Also, part of the strategy for fighting fragmentation is to grow a file a cluster of several blocks at a time, wasting quite a bit of space if the file stays small. That would be too much overhead for a database with small records.

2. MVCC is similar to a log-structured file system, and I don't think fragmentation is a solved issue there. Certainly, Wikipedia doesn't think so (https://sarwiki.informatik.hu-berlin.de/Log-Structured_Files..., https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-structured_File_System_(...) (reading the LFS page makes me think somebody should implement a generational garbage collector for it)
I'm glad you're ok! Heart rate data is such a window into our emotional lives. There was the guy who recorded a breakup on his Fitbit:

Even more traumatic, there's what Game of Thrones does to your heart rate:

https://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2015/08/13/what-game-of-thrones...

And there are potentially life-saving applications of heart rate data, like the collaboration we're building with UCSF cardiology to detect abnormal heart rhythms:

https://mRhythmStudy.org

Even with "just" 11 million Apple Watches sold, that's about 2,400,000,000,000 heart rate measurements per year. I think that will lead to all sorts of downstream applications.
Thankfully, my OCBC online banking only allows you to interact with existing accounts. If you want to do anything interesting, you need to have a separate (Physical, completely offline) token to add new accounts, and you need the same token to "sign" transactions over a certain $$$ figure.
ah, semantics as argued by the delusional.
Not to mention a lot of people, even criminals, really don't want to kill someone. That's not something you do lightly.
> many times the robbers do realise in their aftermath that they should in fact have killed you

Well I agree that you should get to as safe a location as possible immediately following a robbery, however I really would like to see the post you had in mind. Maybe I have a different percentage in mind when I read the word "many", but I'm highly skeptical that this is a common occurrence amongst robbers. Granted they tend not to be the best critical thinkers, but why would they risk adding homicide to the list of charges should they be caught?

See, I get your point, but my experience is different. All the transactional emails of my SaaS are sent out with PHP's mail() which is obviously the worst infrastructure setup you can get and only a fraction is marked as spam for my receivers.

Same is true for my contact form. A copy is sent to the receiver. This works with my providers SMTP server and again, not that many problems with deliverability.

In my limited experience, sending newsletters doesn't have to be a science project.

It probably makes more sense to just support remote-unlock and remote-password-change quickly/easily, after the fact. I wouldn't want to depend on duress passwords except if they worked exactly identically and ALSO sent a silent alarm.

For post-contact response, maybe even an IVR system you can call (from a public phone or something) and give an audio or DTMF password.

But St John Philby also betrayed Britain.

His official role was to protect British interests with the House of Saud, being Ibn Sauds right hand man. Instead he was also on the payroll of Standard Oil, and sold out to the Americans. This alone should have been a warning to the establishment
but what about Andrea?
The point still stands though - guessing a user's gender based on their name whatever solution you use will get it wrong every time the user doesn't identify with the normative gender for that given name. It's much more user friendly to ask (and include an option for "Prefer not to say").
I agree with this wholeheartedly. The problem with it is that until you're most of the way towards being at the point where those things meet, it can feel pretty terrible, if you're not mentally good at dealing with being behind.

The trick is being able to support those with decent slope while they're still under those who had higher y-intercept so they continue.
Probably enormous for individuals and society, by detecting abnormal heart rate conditions we can medicate people to prevent a stroke, which is very very serious condition which requires allot of care.

Post the data!
For me it was always things I had zero control over (indirect fire, usually at night, usually single rounds, although terrifyingly close and walking-onto-me a couple times), which scared me when I thought it was effective and totally didn't bother me when I thought it was ineffective.

Except a few other times, where my remembered terror was highest in the incidents where I'd had no real response or control, and really just remember the action in cases where I did have some level of responsibility/control. But that might be a failure of memory.
My cardiac system is very sensitive to emotional loss. Grandmothers = tachycardia. Last break up nearly killed me. I wish I had a fitbit so my doctors wouldn't look at me like a sad puppy who cannot find a new woman and is making things up.
The heart rate numbers themselves don't seem to make sense to me. 164 at the peak seems low for the drama/gravity of the situation.

I work for a very large wearable company so I have some knowledge of how heart rate sensors work

How did he know the timing of the peak? If he had a log it most likely simply had a time stamp of seconds. How does he correlate a random time stamp to the specific moment days after the event. Same comment about his heart rate hitting 130 when he shoves the gun into his ribs.

In general the story just feels fake.

In one of the places I have worked the majority of the programming staff were female. They said it had happened because women tended to stay whereas the men moved on. Interestingly, this then led them to actively recruit women because their experience was that they would keep them longer.

It's also interesting to note that the women could be very clannish leaving us males as isolated individuals.

Yes, absolutely when comparing with Windows. The productivity difference to Linux wouldn't be as pronounced though I suppose because much of that productivity gains for me stems from the availability of a proper command line and a UNIX toolset.

He said determine gender of a name, not of a person. Names (as part of the speech, not as people identifiers) have genders, grammar says so. Then one can argue that 80% accuracy is not that much, but as first approach to machine learning is actually an interesting choice
Hey there! I am the creator of www.hrpartner.io - Thanks so much for the shout out @prawn! (I saw my Clicky stats spike from news.ycombinator.com and wondered why. :)

OP - Happy to help out and answer any questions re: marketing or web site setup etc. As other have said - screen shots seem to be a great eye draw for people (we run Heat maps on our home page too). We added the video recently, and it seems to help too, although I know we have to reduce it from 3min down to around 1min.

I've had conflicting feedback that our home page contains too much info, to our home page does not explain the breadth of features enough! To that end, we are currently testing out several variations of landing pages, and am happy to discuss if you wish.

Another source that I highly recommend is the free eBook from Salesforce called "The Saas Startup Founders Guide" - great discussion on building a marketing message. https://startups.salesforce.com/article/The-SaaS-Startup-Fou...

I've gotten plenty of great feedback from the crowd here in the past, and looks like you are seeing some of that too. As I said, happy to help out if you want to ping me directly at devan (at) hrpartner.io

Good luck with Churchetto.

usually in forms the gender is irrelevant, what matters most of the time (if it even matters) is the sex
Yep, same experience here. I remember spending about a week explaining some basic programming concepts to a very smart lady (PhD in biostatistics) and it just wouldn't click. For some people it's easy and for some people it doesn't jive with the way they think about things.
Various crooked reasons. Some common ones include:

1. Covering incompetence. Poor sales of bad product are blamed on pirates, and those who were responsible can say "but we don't sit idle, we put another DRM in place".

2. Control over the market (standards poisoning, excluding competition, lock-in and etc.). That's what mobile carriers did to prevent people from switching to competitors.

3. Satisfying their hunger for power and ability to tell others what to do or not to do. DRM allows creating new "laws" without any democratic process. As soon as something has DRM attached to it, they can forbid what they don't like using DMCA-1201.

And so on and so forth. Those who use DRM know perfectly well that not only it can't reduce lost sales, it only increases them. So they use it for very different (and crooked) reasons, unless they are simply completely clueless.
They never say which last letters are associated with which sex. I'm guessing that "o" is usually male and "a" is female, but, what about the other 24? Is "n" usually male ("-son")? Does "y" have a bias?

(Regarding sex vs. gender: yes, they aren't perfectly correlated and some people don't stay with their assigned gender, but AFAIK they often/usually choose a new name which probably matches their gender? Thus why "dead names" are a thing.)
A name can have multiple genders, for example Kim is male and female

This can be tested with proxies and multiple accounts.
Also, if they decided they want to, why would they only realize in their aftermath?

If the late killing really often happens, which I (not based on any data or anecdata) doubt, I would think the more likely mechanism would be that they decide up front, hesitate at the moment of truth, then realize you could recognize them later, making them go to jail for a long time, and then do it anyways.

For those numbers, it was around 18 real cores with hyper threading enabled. Crypto is a great workload for hyper threads. These systems are currently being built up and aren't yet in production. These are with last year's CPUs.

So basically they found one bullet and one railroad sign ... pretty light evidence to prove or disprove anything.
There is very strong correlation between sex and gender ;-)
This seems really cool but I have no idea what it can actually do, does someone that understands this want to give an overview of what this allows us to do?

Edit:

From reading their summary again it sounds like they are using plasmids, which are like mini strands of DNA that float around the cell, to control random bits of the cell. Does the machinery in the cell just randomly bind to plasmids and do what they say?

Those who find this interesting might also be interested in exploring the additional dimensions offered: state and year. Without using any machine learning, you anchor a fact (name, sex, state, birth year range) and get the probability for the unanchored facts. The more you can anchor the higher your level of confidence. Now this is way off topic, but if that sounded interesting... "Constraint Logic Propagation Conflict Spreadsheets" by William Taysom [0]

I have no illusions about my privacy when using bitcoin, and privacy is not the reason why I would use it in the first place.

From what I gather the key to bitcoin always was that it was decentralized, not that it was private. And over time even the decentralized has been hollowed out quite a bit.
I should have known that this is a thing. Kudos.
Do you like the game idea?
Serious question: How can a name have a biological sex? (Wouldn't the fact that penis-people and vagina-people could be named Amy, but society heavily biases towards one, imply names are indicators of societal genders and not biological sex?)

I agree with your above points about the dangers of making guesses on gender. I'm just not well versed in the progressive gender concepts and don't understand the semantics you are arguing for.
Taking it out of the story link was the important thing. At that point HN was no longer broadcasting it.

Not to include it the comment, especially since we always include the previous url in a comment, would have invited accusations of suppression, which would only call more attention to it.

It's surely a small number, but how small would it have to be for you to take the risk? It's not a rational act to rob someone, so it's a fair assumption that their next decision won't be solely based on reason or logic either.

Mind you, we don't know the heart rate of the robber.
"It's worth noting that there are more sophisticated tools that could be applied: machine learning or stats methods - but I've not seen them yet. Possibly because its hard to come up with good training datasets"

I think it has more to do with those methods not being 'deterministic' for a broad interpretation of that word. By that I mean, if you're doing de-anonymizing for regulatory purposes, it's a hard sell to convince people 'these transactions are correlated because my neural net, which is a complete black box, says so'.
I wish English made it easier to just use gender neutral speech when referring to individuals. The fact that the third-person neutral pronoun is "it", which in English generally carries a negative connotation when applied to an individual, makes the whole situation kind of tricky. I don't imagine someone would be pleased to be referred to as "it", and I wouldn't enjoy using it if I knew it was making someone uncomfortable, or worse, upset.

"Build companies". Now I do realised that some people really DO want to do that, I've just never seen it mentioned in stories like this and it was what made me a bit "uhh" about the post.

Wouldn't call BS though. But that plug at the end does seem a bit convenient.

There is currently an actively developed alternative cryptocurrency called Monero, that uses the 'Cryptonote Protocol', and has a completely different codebase from Bitcoin.

It uses Ring Signatures and a few other cryptographic tricks to make the currency provably unlinkable and untraceable. In 6 months, the network will hard fork to support what is being called "RingCT", which will hide the amount sent in a transaction, in addition to the sender and the receiver that are hidden at the moment.

If you want to read some more about it, ask all the questions you like on /r/monero, they'll be happy to get as technical as you want.

I do care for those people, but I subscribe to a different cultural model. To provide job training so that economy could function should be responsibility of the employer, or the government, and it should be considered a full time job. Regardless whether the "foot in the door" job is supposed to be a job training or not, then I think the employer is perfectly capable of paying minimum wage for people doing it.
Yeah, kind of a weird coincidence but I was just recently writing a song about criticizing that "hit-it" mindset. I didn't realize that even terms like that have underlying violent connotations. I began listing some terms I hear, but realized how distasteful that is especially given the article above. Here in Vegas there is definitely a lot of that slang thrown around.
