A number of years ago I kept two octopuses in captivity and I always enjoy reading articles like this, I wish more people took an interest in them and I’m glad to see the audience at HN does.

They really are remarkable animals and unbelievably inquisitive. Trying to keep them from escaping, even from a relatively small 250 gallon tank was always a challenge and I can only imagine how difficult it is to retrofit the larger tanks they inhabit at public aquariums to be escape proof.

They two I kept were incredibly tactile in their curiosity and loved exploring my arms/hands whenever I put them into their tank. They would readily eat small crabs and shrimp right from my fingers and seemed to like playing tug of war, clinging to my hand with a few tentacles and them some of the heavier rocks with the others. Lego blocks, clear acrylic piping, small plastic toys would keep them busy for hours on end.

Many people don’t realize this but they are unfortunately (or fortunately for humans) remarkably short lived. Most species live only for 1-1.5 years and even the Giant Pacific Octopus usually only lives for 3-5 years. I would always jokingly remark to friends that if they had a longer life span on the order of a decade or more, they probably would have invented some kind of breathing apparatus and conquered land long ago. They would probably have a much more advanced space program by now as well.

Atom really should save all buffers instead of just project-linked ones. There's too much opportunity for data loss as it currently is and it removes the ability for the text editor to double as a scratchpad or quick notepad.
It sounds like Jeremy was part of the company before any of these 'vesting schedules' were agreed upon. It would be nice to read Jeremy's side of the story.

It's strange that somebody as wealthy as Kyle (who sold Twitch for $1 billion) would make such a fuss over what is probably only a couple of millions... It would be interesting to know exactly how 'extremely generous' his settlement offer was.

Also it's really strange/suspicious that the founder of Cruise would put himself on a vesting schedule... Is this common practice?
The issue here is that race relations in the U.S. are so convoluted and have so much history that it's literally impossible to tell what would be considered "racist" without a broad understanding of the culture and a comprehensive list of past racial slurs and grievances.

Witness the KFC ad (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaIhf41ctkM) which was broadly labeled as "racist", despite the fact that the 'black people love fried chicken' stereotype is (as far as I know) only a U.S. construction.
Care to elaborate? Kernel developers are not practising SCRUM or TDD yet are shipping a fairly stable product.
I don't think there is as much to understand as you make it out to be. People feel insulted when called apes, because it is frequently used as an insult.

It may well be taxonomically correct to say that humans as well as apes are primates and members of the Hominidae family, but that doesn't make it any less insulting.

Just because something is technically correct doesn't mean it isn't dehumanizing and suitable as an insult. I'm sure nobody would like to be called a sack of meat either.

Externally, there have been several federal investigations of.local agencies (notably, Ferguson, which also came with an enforcement effort resulting in a consent decree); that's actually probably a big part of the reason for Chicago to do, and be seen doing, it's own internal effort.
I could never live in the city.

I don't even like going into the city for work.
It should also be noted that international students are generally not eligible for any financial aid whatsoever through FAFSA (and the "need-blind" admissions process available to domestic students in which these institutions cannot see your financial status in the application process is not available to international students), thus the international students that do attend these institutions are more often than not within the top socioeconomic bracket of their respective country.
Avocado Oil is the de-facto high heat cooking oil with a good fat profile (mostly monounsaturated fats).
Reading the Wired article, after a page I get a huge "HERE'S THE THING ABOUT ADBLOCKERS...." page. Time to scratch that link off the list?
I can personally confirm this. I bought a brand new Dell XPS 15 with Skylake (i7) in December. I installed Linux on it (kernel 4.3), and it has been a power management nightmare from day 1. I've only ever gotten 2 hours from the battery. I just sent it in because it powercycles at random now, never making it past the Dell splash screen anymore. When I run the hardware diagnostics, sans hard-drive, it dies in the middle of one of the processor tests.

Other people have been pointing out that Windows is struggling with Skylake as well, and I've heard the same.

Skylake was touted by Intel as being one of their proudest achievements in power management to date. My guess is that their changes were so drastic that the software didn't keep up.

Edit:

I do have an NVMe hard drive, which does seem to cause some issues, for reasons passing understanding.

> I'm equally shocked that YC didn't notice the missing founder when the program started and ensure the proper paperwork had been handled.

Well wasn't there around 80+ companies in their batch? Hard to notice everything, even when companies are split up across partners. Not that this is YC's fault but it's certainly something they could have noticed at the first meeting.

I felt more reassured when scientists were promising there was no interaction between EMR and organic matter.
Microfluidics is a sexy field. About ten years ago, it was nearing the peak of its first hype peak. This brought a lot of attention to the field and corresponded to the first time people started talking about precision medicine and "lifestyle" diagnostic tools.

Theranos was at the right time with a very intriguing idea, but one that was ultimately not a model for reality. They were able to get lots of capital at this time in preparation to develop a product that ultimately never materialized (and more fundamentally, may not be physically possible).

I think it still is that simple. Clearly killing millions is not better than human control, so would be unacceptable.
I'll clarify that my wife works kitchen hours, so I tend to stick around the city until she's off. By no means am I required to stay at the office until 11 ;)
My 2-year-old son is the happiest, sweetest little boy. He was diagnosed with autism about 6 months ago by a pediatric neurologist, who we saw because he has zero communication skills (verbal or otherwise). He is almost always remarkably happy, and we love that about him. However, as you may imagine, it's impossible to discipline him, because he doesn't understand when you are disappointed or say "no" firmly. He thinks it's funny. Everything is funny. I am not sure yet but if he can go through his entire life successfully and mostly independently, and maintain the ability to enjoy literally every waking moment so greatly, I would go so far as to say I envy his innate joy. If I could ask him, I wonder if he would want to feel disappointment or sadness the way I do.
You're right that there's gonna be selection bias if one just judges by press. But I've seen this internally many times as well.
Will the inclusion of HEVC/H.265 decoding in the integrated graphics be beneficial?

On an older MacBook Pro I have with Intel HD Graphics 3000, the fans go beserk on video that my iPad handles with passive cooling without even becoming warm.

I can imagine the codecs used on everything you encounter on regular sites will quickly begin to expect optimizations built into Skylake.
Came to HN just to check this. Are the APIs down too?
As is pointed out repeatedly on /r/ELI5, the explanation doesn't need to be for literal 5 year olds.
Not sure, I should probably clear up this mess and find out...
> You see where this is going.

Yes: the wrong direction.

Trying to support every possible thing obviously won't work - we can't replace writing HTML with a clever enough rich text field. But you can still make progress on web usability by solving the most obvious bits and adding some hooks for the easiest ways to extend it.
Washing someone's car does not entitle you to ownership of it. Founding a company and working for the company without pay does entitle you to equity in that company -- that is where the equity comes from; investments into the company and the labor of its founders (until hiring employees who are being compensated for their time and are not automatically entitled to equity, though a compensation plan might grant it).
To be fair, Microsoft seems to be having problems putting the chip into deep sleep as well so clearly Intel is being too secretive this time. Maybe they are trying to cover something up about Skylake? I've heard from friends in OSG that they can't get the power consumption of the chip down to what Intel claims it should be in deep sleep.
I see. So Vive is de facto tied to Steam at present, but if another implementation will show up, it would be usable outside of it. Not a pretty situation, when hardware is tied to a distributor. Oculus situation doesn't look any better.

Will OSVR support it may be? I found only this: https://github.com/osvr/osvr-vive

But it doesn't implement OpenVR, it only connects to existing one.
That's the only possible reason you can think of for tech's supposed relative lack of influence? Rather than, say, these possibilities:

* new industry, therefore less entrenched in existing power networks
* until recently, relatively low spending on lobbying
* technology people not known for political savvy
* technology people inclined to assume that merit and savvy will carry the day
* tech industry leaders more ethically inclined, or at least less inclined toward legalized bribery

I don't think making money is sufficient. Politicians care about other people's money because they can get some of it.
Down for me too, might actually be a good thing! Unscheduled downtime is good for productivity
You and me both. I have a turn based strategy game I had half developed for the Kindle, but I had some issues getting some things working (lots of limitations and peculiarities, especially supporting the 1st and 2nd gen devices, which was required) and life got in the way for a little while.

Once I was motivated to start working on it again, it wasn't long before it became pretty clear that Amazon didn't believe in Active Content anymore and the rumors were flying that Amazon was going to pull the plug entirely, so I decided to move on.

It's a shame, too, because the game really looked nice, and I think it would look amazing on the Paperwhite. The game stopped working on my Kindle Keyboard a couple of years ago (expired certificate).
And now it's back.

Flow type integration. TypeScript in VS:Code is better, of course, but for Flow or Purescript Atom leaves it in the dust unfortunately

Yep, the demo is working fine on both Firefox 45.0.2 and Chrome 49.0.2623.112. Both browsers are failing on your site for some reason.
I still have to double click on the tab to get the italics to go away like the op said. Do you not have to do that?
Yep, waiting for 1.0. I really like Julia. Zero-indexing would be preferable, or at least a switch like APL to choose what your default indexing is. It's easy to switch if you use somebody's else's code that is 1-based.
The UC system should be paying exactly $0 to football coaches and investment officers. It's an education system. The NFL and Wall Street are perfectly capable of taking care of football and investments without the UC's help.

I lost nearly $13M in equity. I got $0, plus I spent most of what I had at the time trying to pursue it legally. Basically, my business partner (who was already very wealthy before we started the company) and I had a personal falling out (believe it or not, over a woman). He decided that since he had financed everything, that it was his. He pushed me out, but I still had my equity.

It turns out, however, that the moment I was out he transferred all of the company's IP to a different corporate entity that he owned 100℅ of (same exact company name, just a different structure). He eventually sold that entity. The only thing he couldn't erase was my name being on the patents, but apparently the acquiring company never bothered asking who I was. But in the end it didn't matter, I simply didn't have enough resources to see it all the way through.
And friends bash me for always using a caricature avatar of myself on my social media accounts! I'll have to run it, and see if it matches a photo. It's a greyscale line drawing sketch.
Hmm... 8 watts sounds extremely high to me. My Broadwell laptop uses less than 3 watts when idle, and most of that is the display. Even my old Ivy Bridge MacBook Air from 2012 idles at 5W. Is there some peripheral responsible for the higher idle on your system? Maybe a hard disk or dedicated GPU? I'm curious about what's causing the difference.

CPU/GPU power usage: (≈1W) http://geoff.greer.fm/photos/screenshots/Screen%20Shot%20201...

I don't understand your argument. It's insane for Mark Zuckerberg to make more than you, but it's not insane for you to make more than, say, a school teacher?
When will Mozilla stop developing Thunderbird totally? Trying to find an alternative after they announced EOL for Thunderbird a while ago.

The one time I ever called Nintendo was when I stumbled across the Chris Houlihan Room in Zelda for SNES—and they didn't know what I was talking about. I was half disappointed and half impressed to have stumped a Game Counselor. I wanted to know what the hell I had found!

It's hard to escape the fact that, on average, our ethical circle has only expanded and not contracted. That animals should one day be inside this circle seems inevitable.

If ventures like Memphis Meats[0] (meat without the animals) get off the ground the whole matter could become a non-issue.

It's a rational conjecture that hunters tend to strive to continue winning the intelligence arms race over prey, and that technology tends (but not always) is an emergent property from this set of species.

I discovered a vulnerability in Google Drive last year that allows bypassing the content filter on uploaded files and Google refuses to acknowledge the threat, because my proof of concept demonstrated an open redirect. It bypasses the full content scan, which I later determined also allows me to serve fake Google pages from a Google domain.

The bug allowed a malicious actor to share the file, which generated an email from Google containing a link to Google that redirected to payload containing a Gmail worm.

I spent an entire weekend reverse engineering the attack and had to wait a month for Google to respond saying they wouldn't fix it, because I mentioned open redirect.

That's a fair point. Since you've given me the opportunity to clarify via your own response, I'll provide some more details: I'm interested in product management as a long term goal.

Wikipedia's definition:

>An Easter egg is an intentional inside joke, hidden message, or feature in an interactive work such as a computer program, video game or DVD menu screen.

The headbobbing, the camera flashing etc. are hidden hints/messages from the programmer to the player, so I'd say the term fits
Did anyone else read the linked complaint that was filed with the court? What I found interesting is it spends seven pages essentially painting the guy as a villain and claiming he had nothing to do with anything the company did then in prayer for relief it says they are worried he is going to take Cruise's trade secrets and use them in his own venture.

How can anyone claim that someone simultaneously had no involvement in your business and yet you are worried they have knowledge of and are going to use your trade secrets?

The whole complaint is very light on specific facts and contains a good dose of ad hominem language assailing the defendants character w/o alleging any specific actions taken by the guy to support the claim. It also alleges that the guy is interfering in the acquisition but doesn't specify how.

It seems like there is more to this story, unless they just managed to hire the world's worst lawyer.

I don't know when the perf improved, but it definitely has recently. In the past month I downloaded Atom on OS X (for the third time) to see if the perf had improved and I was impressed! I added a huge project's folder and indexing was done insanely fast (iirc less than 30 seconds). I don't really have a need for Atom at the moment since Sublime Text exists, but I might recommend it for new programmers since it's free + hackable.

For others who may be interested in the details despite the uninformative tone of this comment: The Amazon paper is about a specific tweak to learning rates for better scalability when doing distributed training. The core principles of distributed DNN training are much older - for example, Dean et al. 2012: https://papers.nips.cc/paper/4687-large-scale-distributed-de... trained a model for Imagenet on 2000 cores, using the DistBelief framework that is the predecessor to TensorFlow.

The question of how to improve the multiple-replica scaling of distributed DNN training is very important, as is the question of creating usable, flexible, and high-performance abstractions in which to implement one. They're also fairly orthogonal. TensorFlow as an architecture focuses on the latter. One could imagine implementing the Amazon tweak within either TF or any other framework.
Punch-Out was really well designed. It was also incredibly hard. I finally beat it in college, and I still feel proud of that accomplishment.
The title is arguably inaccurate, as Oculus have repeatedly stated that these are Oculus Store exclusives, not Rift hardware exclusives, eg [1].

Since the Rift is the only PC headset currently supported by the Oculus Store, that's a bit of a technical distinction. But it does imply that they shouldn't have a big problem with this sort of compatibility layer existing, though they're unlikely to support it directly for obvious QA reasons. After all, you still have to buy the games from them!
