Amazon's customer centric nature is generally pretty good, but they toss it aside at times. AIV on Android is one of those times (took them years to release the app and when they did it required a completely screwy install)
The computer didn't learn how to paint or even compose or even choose subjects like Rembrandt did. With the help of a team of experts, it assembled premade parts of Rembrandt's earlier paintings into a fancy collage under tight constraints. The heightmap algorithm was probably more interesting than the one that made the picture.
Kinda. But you have an input with (presumably) finer control than is usually available with an actual bang bang. Throttle control in racing is what I'd consider a "pun" on bang bang. While it's shaped the same, the rationale doesn't quite line up with a real life bang bang.

In racing, it is "cheap" in the sense of a sort of cost function based on response time.
The Android app also supports standard SMS with non-Signal users. Those messages are not encrypted, so they show the lock to indicate whether the message was sent via Signal or SMS.

There have been several studies out of 100 hedge funds ~20-30 percent beat passive funds after fees in a given year. However, next year the results are random. So, that % drops as the time frame increases.

Survivorship bias is huge in this industry. There have been plenty of funds with awesome runs, but few have lasted 20+ years.

PS: The financial industry also loves to point at old funds as being above average while quietly killing off lot's of tiny funds and growing others over time. IMO, this goes past survivorship bias and into the old con where you mail 1024 people the results of a game, then 512 people you got right, then 256... Until you have great history with your last sucker.
Well, the advent of prime now means you can get many things in an hour from Amazon, though of course there are additional fees that are not covered by the annual prime membership fees.
It's not that easy. Due to toolchain and platform differences, there is no guarantee that your compiler will produce the same binary as the official distribution. This is why deterministic, reproducible builds are a growing area of interest right now.
In one instance, this isn't even hypocrisy by definition:

>[PayPal] said: “Becoming an employer in North Carolina, where members of our teams will not have equal rights under the law, is simply untenable.”

So yes, it would be hypocritical if they opened offices in Saudi Arabia. But 'offering services' is not quite the same thing.

Of course, there's also the cynical angle (taking a stand in the US is high visibility, taking a stand in Saudi Arabia isn't).
That would actually be pretty cool, but the data would have to be redistributed across the new set of buckets when the parameter was changed. That could get really messy...

Apply HN: Bleepmic – 30s audio notes
Problem: We want people to be able to have conversations in a way that is independent of location and time. We strongly believe that when people actually talk, barriers and stereotypes go away. We want to leverage the power of the internet to achieve that.

Our Solution: Bleepmic. With 30s audio notes (which we believe is the limit of keeping people focused on what you are saying), people are able to have conversations in a town hall like manner while not being limited by proximity or time. You can jump into a conversation started by someone in Wyoming, for example, and share your two cents and then checkin in an hour, hear what other people said and jump right back in with your thoughts.

The Future of Grocery Shopping in 10 GIFs
The political system was designed from the beginning to be weak based on what the founders had left. A very specific set of powers granted to the federal government but split between three often opposed branches. The remaining power defaulting to the states but still separated by largely the same system of checks of balances, and often with the two systems (state/fed) themselves opposed.

The system was never designed to be one where you could implement massive changes overnight.
It's more common than you might think, even in the US. A common example I see is major cities where the freeway speed limit is 45 or 55, but everyone is doing 70 or 80mph, even the police officers. Most of the time that cop will drive right past you even if you're doing 20mph or 30mph over the speed limit, but if they want to pull you over, now they have a free reason to arrest you and impound your car. But if you're driving the speed limit while everyone else flies by you, you could be pulled over because driving too slow is suspicious.

It seems that, given enough time, governments will find ways to implement enough contradictory laws that everyone is a criminal.
> whatsApp seems to force you and your contacts to meet at a Starbucks so you can distribute and sign each other's public keys.

The out-of-band meeting compares a QR code or a 60-digit public key-derived number, both of which are generated by WhatsApp. There is no ad hoc in-person signing involved. From what I can determine from their whitepaper, there is no private key involvement at all. Just concatenation or hashing using the public keys.

Furthermore:

When either user scans the other’s QR code, the keys are
compared to ensure that what is in the QR code matches
the Identity Key as retrieved from the server.

Note 'as retrieved from the server'. The public keys are not distributed directly from Alice to Bob but always through Mallory. You can say for certain that the public key that Mallory's app tells you that you hold for Alice is the same as the one that Mallory presents for Alice, but that's it.

That wouldn't be a problem if the subsequent communication was in a different channel, like sending an e-mail after retrieving a PGP key from a key-server; the distributing party isn't in the communication channel and can't interfere. But WhatsApp is centralised for both key distribution AND communication.

Yes. This exactly. I know many that don't type in url or even search on YouTube. They just click around.

They apparently watched 5+ videos thinking they were mine but just happened to be displayed in sidebar and other.
It's not the case that randomly-generated weights will not have biases. The point is that if you generate weights randomly the computer will still have biases, you just don't know what they will be.

Ask HN: Average Salary for PHP Dev in London?
I'm a PHP Developer with above average ( I think ? ) experience ( 3 years commercial experience in Manchester )

I've quite comfortable with OOP, Design Patterns, Symfony, Laravel , Custom build solutions etc ...

In the past few months i was busy building search solutions using Elastic Search, Caching solutions using Redis and Geo coding.

Also i manage bunch of ec2 instances , a few google cloud servers and quite confident in managing and maintaining our production servers.

Git / Average javascript knowledge / Ansible / HTML & CSS as usual.

I have 40k job offer in Manchester but i want to relocate to London, Now i see the average salary in London is about 45k ? is that right ? Please could you give me an idea how much should i be looking for in London ?
6 Key Risk Factors When Scaling a Business to Global
Good points, and also correct answer. Identity is hard to question. But when you try Go without prejudice, it's just fun (and productive) afterwards.

What made Ubuntu special was making Linux and other free software easier to use. But when it became too easy they started to take away the "free" part by adding intrusive "features". It's was never a given that as a company they would try to make money that way.

I like the immediacy of printing from home.

But it looks like I'm out of luck. Laser printers suck at photos. Inkjets clog up or dry out if not used regularly.

And any alternative tech (is dye-sub still a thing?) is prohibitively expensive.
With PWM, you lowpass filter the thing to ... something akin to DC then feed it to an A/D. It's all about approximating the area under a curve.

They're everywhere - A/D are PWM, class D amps are PWM, power supplies...
WWII is like the one war you could pick where it was not against the soldiers' self-interest to fight. With most wars you could argue it's more about rulers fighting over power than it is about people defending themselves, but not WWII. It's the most morally straightforward war I can think of.
They could also tell that you didn't leave the SERP between clicks.
I don't hate Go. I do strongly dislike posts with clickbaity titles that have an admission the title is wrong in the very first sentence.

The rest of the article is little better. It can be summed up in one line: People who dislike Go are upset because they incorporated their favourite programming language into their identity, and the success of Go challenges their own choices.

Although I don't hate Go, I also don't like Go much, but it's not because it challenges my identity. I am not a Haskell or Scala programmer. I've used a whole bunch of languages in recent years, none of which are especially clever. I dislike Go because I agree with the criticisms of it and I'm afraid I might end up having to maintain code written in it one day. That wouldn't be much fun.

Fortunately, so far I've been able to avoid maintaining PHP or COBOL so hopefully my luck will hold and I'll be able to dodge Go too.
That makes sense - since port numbers are unsigned integers, you can just use a bitwise AND rather than a more costly MOD. I haven't actually looked at the internals of the hash, so I'm just assuming it's simply BUCKET = DPORT & MASK.

I do find the name extremely unfortunate. It's impossible to search for, as "go" is an extremely common word (bad for search engines) and substring (bad for ctrl-F find). I tried searching for shared web hosts that provide Go support and just gave up. Kind of hilarious to see a first-party Google language be impossible to search for.

Enigma|http://enigma.io/| New York, NY

The volume of data created by governments and businesses is growing exponentially. Organizations struggle just to store it all, let alone make sense of it. Enigma helps organizations and individuals fuse, organize, and explore data to make smarter decisions.​​

At Enigma, we started from the realization that there is an enormous quantity of hidden knowledge locked away in data silos and obscure formats, just waiting to be released. We are building data discovery and analytics tools that make it simple for organizations to liberate their own private data, and for the wider community to explore and build upon Enigma’s own integrated public data platform. We believe data can reveal tremendous things about the world and that it will continue to transform it in the years and decades to come. After winning TechCrunch Disrupt NYC in '13, we have since grown into a Series B Startup, and we're growing quickly!

That's like calling for people to specify "Microsoft Windows", to avoid confusion with glass-enclosed wall openings.

I know there was a bit of news recently about a game engine defeating a top-level human player. Beyond that, however, the notion that "Go" references on Hacker News should default to the board game rather than the programming language is absurd.
Winston Churchill wrote about a misunderstanding during World War 2 which was caused by the different meanings for this expression:

The enjoyment of a common language was of course a supreme advantage in all British and American discussions. The delays and often partial misunderstandings which occur when interpreters are used were avoided. There were however differences of expression, which in the early days led to an amusing incident. The British Staff prepared a paper which they wished to raise as a matter of urgency, and informed their American colleagues that they wished to "table it." To the American Staff "tabling" a paper meant putting it away in a drawer and forgetting it. A long and even acrimonious argument ensued before both parties realized that they were agreed on the merits and wanted the same thing.

You'll see that in the 3rd paragraph on this page:

Very well done article.

Release 19.0 is looking exciting, other things they seem to be planning on (this is mainly from Erlang Factory 2016 Slides):

* 10x faster tracing

* Dirty schedulers turned on by default

* A new state machine OTP module

* An external plugin (with LevelDB as one example) for Mnesia storage

* 2x-3x faster spawning external processes + many others

18.0 brought fast maps, good time handling. It is exciting to see all this good stuff done in a 30 year old language.
This is a cool and interesting idea! It's like a private community IPO, hopefully there won't be too much taxation involved!
I don't know what the basis for your argument would be. Go the game and GoLang are both fairly talked about topics in Computer Science, most programmers do not program in GoLang (according to Github), and the AI match was a big deal for Computer Science in general. I would not be so quick to say that for MOST people here Go = GoLang, and agree with the parent comment.

With golang, it is incredibly easy to get productive fast. It's like modernized, safe C with good standard library and trivial deployment. Those are pretty good selling points for getting stuff actually done.

Using Haskell for similar stuff is more tedious, even if a actual coding is more fun. I can see (and sometimes feel myself) the cognitive dissonance here.

Me too.

>What I've proposed in the past is a "Wordpress for courts" - a free, open source case management system. It will be more quickly adopted by smaller courts with limited budgets. As larger court systems take notice, they will be attracted not just to the cost and better UX, but the extensibility. The country will benefit by having better, faster access to court records, case law, etc.

This. So much this. Courts are either buying commercial systems which are incredibly expensive and suck, or building their own which turns into a huge political football and results in a product that is ... what you expect. Someone (perhaps a 501c3 or something similar) needs to build a best in class open source court/case management system. Similar to what the 18F people are doing at the federal executive branch. There is still plenty of money for contractors/companies to make implementing and maintaining the solution for the individual courts, but every court in the country from the U.S. Court of Appeals to Mayberry Municipal Court running (or developing!) a different management system is insane.

Imagine if all the Courts had a common API to accept your filings or notify you of case activities?

Ok, but the vast majority of users are content with "good enough" pictures, so even if you are an outlier, it doesn't really matter. And sickbeard's right that that's exactly what happened with everything else that smartphones consumed in their march to rule the planet; they aren't the best at anything, but they do a little of everything and you always have them on you and it turns out that beats the hell out of something that does it better, but that you have to remember to bring all the time.
It's debatable whether that should be the default or not; compare it to, say, printing diagnostic info by default and requiring a special `--download` option.

One thing I always change from the default behaviour is video quality: by default it wastes a ton of bandwidth and disk space getting "HD" versions. I can understand why that's the default, but I don't particularly care about resolution, as it's a pretty negligible contributor to quality compared to the actual content of the video.
