You should seek out a primer of the general architecture. Its definitely a departure from IP networking. Here's a brief overview:

Devices advertise their presence when they are not connected. The usual connection is one device to one client, although multiple simultaneous connections are possible. Clients can look at advertisement data to see what services the device offers. Once a client connects to a device, it can interrogate the device further.

A BLE device makes multiple pieces of data available individually, called characteristics. So if your device had a heartrate sensor and a battery, your bluetooth profile would likely have a heart rate characteristic and a battery level characteristic. A client that connects to this device could discover these characteristics, and read/write them, as well as set up notifications, so the device can asynchronously send the client data.

An IP based system treats its connection as a single pipe, whereas in a BLE system, on top of a single physical connection, you effectively plumb a separate pipe to each piece of information you make available to the client. Each characteristic has its own read and write callbacks, and each characteristic can be individually customized with things like read write notify permissions, data type, description, etc.

No, an individual's circumstances cannot be determined by their skin color. Forcing a company to take a candidate that is objectively worse than others with different skin colors or genitalia is stupid and makes everyone else bitter when they realize the incompetence.

I'm curious how you know what's good for consumers more than they do. Would you mind explaining why it's bad for cost-cutting consumers in the long run?

Seems like amazon is content to run razor thin margins, and if they jack up the price after competitors go out of business, that move would recreate a market for item X and burn some Amazon good will.

I also find the Amazon branding on that laptop stand to be really tacky, though!
It's pretty well documented Dropbox has a very large 2.7 codebase.
I am astonished by the comments in this thread. Many people seem to assume that the chance of disaster as a result of wiping out mosquitoes is high - a sentiment I can only assume arises from having watched a lot of movies with the Arrogant And Foolish Scientist's Ill-Thought-Out Plan Backfires plot. It is good to think through consequences, but supposing that real world scientists acting deliberately and collaboratively will make the same mistakes that movie scientists make for the sake of drama - I find that a concerningly distorted perception of reality.

It's sort of like the people who react to robotics with concerns that the robots will go rogue and turn on their creators. Yeah, this is like a 90% probability event in movies, but that does not make it a reasonable thing to worry about in the real world.

Yeah, of course we should carefully think through the consequences before acting. That's what is happening. But if the mosquito experts say the ecological impact is likely to be negligible, then it probably will be. These guys are experts. Species go extinct all the time, and life goes on because it's pretty robust.

I'm not saying scientists are all knowing and can foresee all side effects, though I suspect if they are willing to state a view like that with confidence, they won't be far off. What I'm saying is the ZOMG BIRDS EAT MOSQUITOS and WHAT IF WE INFECT OURSELVES AND GET WIPED OUT talk is a little silly. Cool it there, Spielberg. ;)
I'd guess that the climate in Sweden helps too, so I still think we need CRISPR.

Coincidentally, there are quite many areas in Sweden were it is impossible to go outside in the summer without mosquito nets, and it is worsening.
Being rebuked is never fun, and the correction is all we care about, so thanks.
Programming was a 'women's job' at the time because men were intended for combat. It's exactly the same reason women were working in factories which, in peacetime, was traditionally a men's job. This is not to say that it was right, but at the same time it wasn't due to lesser ability... it was because they were still at home and not delivering the munitions whose trajectory they were calculating.

I would like to add that suggesting that the majority of programmers were/are the 'majority' (in a societal sense) in the west is also disingenuous. It seems a bit self-serving for the author to not mention that technology, even at the time, was a place where many homosexual but otherwise 'socially-awkward, white, male programmers' thrived and made incredible bounds. If you think women suffered from marginalisation in the 40s and 50s (they did)... imagine being a homosexual.

Whether the article is about the ENIAC or not, you need to consider all facts when you make a factual statement, even if they do not serve your thesis.

Edit: sorry if I'm a bit passionate about this... I wrote my grade 5 speech on the ENIAC and I've always held the men and women who designed and operated it in incredibly high esteem. Some crazy old man said something once about 'standing on the shoulders of giants' and I feel that is very relevant when discussing the ENIAC.
That's a horrible list of mostly the race baiting circle jerk (for lack of a better term). Even a cursory glance shows that it lacks several authors who have written papers that dispute this. Coincidence? Probably not.

It's called science bro, it's kind of detailed. Trust that the people doing it know what they are doing. If you'd like more information, you're free to study it.

The answer to your question is relatively straightforward though, different races raised in the same circumstances have been given IQ tests. Among other techniques.

Once again, this is a century old science, it's been thought through pretty well. Whatever confounding factor you come up with in 2 minutes, someone has likely thought of it.

Potential to be a >$50bn tech company seems to be a pretty generous one to be considered blockbuster. Especially considering the frothy valuation scene. There is no point in comparing with low margin business like Target. Let's look at the biggest tech companies today - Apple (~$600bn), Google (~$500bn), MSFT (~$450bn), Facebook & Amazon (~$250bn), Oracle (~$250bn) so on and so forth. If we are concluding that NYC is catching up to Silicon Valley, then at least one startup needs to demonstrate potential to be worth 10% of Google. That doesn't seem extraordinarily high metric to me.

See my response below. I am saying "potential" to be >$50bn. Tesla is in an extremely low margin business compared to software companies. Still, I believe Tesla will break the $50bn valuation. And that will still be 10% of Google.
No one said that, you are putting words into my mouth. Obviously any employer should hire people best qualified for the job, but there are literally thousands of people to choose from. One aspect of the choice is that it affects wealth of the individual and thereby people that are socially close and related to the individual.

> Addressing a woman in distress, e.g., "constant nightmares", affectionately, "honey" is quite appropriate with nothing wrong at all.

No. No it is not. Jesus christ. You do not get to call a woman you don't know "honey", "darling", "sweetie", "sweetie pie", "sweetheart", "sugar", "baby", "doll", "angel", etc. If you do know her, you better either be her father or mother, or significant other. I don't care if you're from the South. I'm from the South. Fucking stop it.
Forcing employment would be a rather extreme attempt at a remedy, but the graph here[0] illustrates rather nicely a problem that race-blind attempts at fixes will run into. What works in one environment may not work in another, and their are dramatically different environments for different races in the USA.

(Disclaimer: I added SELinux support to CoreOS)

I'm a little confused around the SELinux issue. SELinux is inherently unportable - each distribution has its own policy (generally based on refpolicy, but sometimes fairly divergent), and it's basically impossible for an application to ship a policy that's compatible with more than one distribution. Rkt's SELinux design inherits from SVirt in such a way that in most cases it'll just work with a distribution's existing SELinux policy. It's fair to say that the number of distributions that ship policy that works with Docker is larger than for rkt, but this is fundamentally about distribution priorities rather than technological choices. On Fedora, rkt should provide identical SELinux confinement to Docker - on CoreOS it'll be better, since we support SELinux on overlayfs as well. Whether SELinux is enabled or not is (again) a distribution choice. Fedora ship with SELinux enabled by default, and both rkt and Docker will use it as a result.

> Antitrust law is concerned with unlawful contracts, collusion, and cartels. It's meant to ensure that businesses compete by acting independently.

Then how do I have a stack of history books that say the government broke up the 20th century AT&T monopoly under the antitrust laws? And Standard Oil and U.S. Steel before that?

You seem to be implying that if Google did exactly what they're doing now except that they made their own hardware and refused to license Android to third parties then there would be less of an antitrust problem, even though then there would unambiguously be less competition than there is now.
To me this is an indication of how far behind energy storage technology is.

Decriminalization is a bad idea. It increases demand, which gives gangs and mafia types more money. If you're going to do it, legalize it.

That's true, but I was commenting on which startups are most likely to be in that level. If we analyze the companies who have reached that kind of valuation they demonstrate some patterns - 1. Mass market product, that most of the planet can use 2. Mobile first 3. High growth opportunity in Asia. That's why there are so many Asian companies that will become internet behemoths. Looking at the NYC startup list - Oscar health, Etsy, Cockroach DB, MongoDB etc. I don't see that pattern emerging. But that's just my assessment
What crackpot level is wearing an alien lizard mask while ranting about Obamacare?
Fascinating, considering that other scientific research has itself demonstrated the effects of those confounding factors.

So this seems like a wash... Except that it doesn't take much to observe that it's very hard to be raised in the same circumstances when you're of different races in the US. There are very real differences in people's behavior towards people based on race, and those shape that environment.)

The problem is that reparations in the form of equal representation hurt people that have nothing to do with the original oppression. It is a zero sum game.

The groups that suffer the most from "equal representation" are immigrants and their children. These people tend to be high achievers, competing in the upper echelon where every little difference counts. It is unfair to punish these people for actions that were done when they were not even in the country.

Even if there is some way to only target the children of the perpetrators, it isn't fair to punish people for simply being related to the perpetrators.

What happened in the past is wrong and unfair, but reparations will just displace the hurt from one group to another.

The challenge of disruption is when you have a clear value proposition that everyone agrees on. The genius of Steve Jobs is that every year or three he'd introduce a new product line with a new value proposition and cannibalize his existing products in the process.

He's gone, and Apple has stopped doing that. Apple is now losing marketshare. (Android is estimated at 82%.) Their app store is globally under half of the market. They are projecting a year over year decline this quarter.

It probably won't be visible to the untrained eye in the next 5 years. It won't be missable by anyone in the next 10. But Apple's best days are behind it.
That is why I favor legalization over decriminalization. It looks like the Canadian PM has thought this through, though, so I don't expect problems like that.

The signal to noise ratio on HN could be massively improved if the site implemented a simple filter which disallowed resubmission of duplicate URLS. I browse the site by the "New" tab and, when a popular news story breaks, it's not unusual to see the same link posted half a dozen times, or more.

Personally, I'd find a filter which removed all submissions with the word "Awesome" in the title, or any sites which used those annoying JavaScript overlays on top of what you're trying to read, a great help, too!

As regards your service, good luck with it, but I don't think it's for me. It sounds like it could be a lot of work for you to keep it up and I'd be a bit dubious as to just how much reading and comprehension time your summarisers could devote to [especially] complex or nuanced articles.

I'm also reluctant to put too much faith in someone else's interpretation as to whether an article is good, unbiased or [to quote your example] "well-researched", etc. Those things are all "in the eye of the beholder" and one man's well-researched article might be another man's blatant propaganda piece. I'd rather form my own opinions, by going to the source, than play Chinese Whispers.

If Uber is a tech company then American Airlines is a tech company too. Both have an app which will let you get on some form of transportation and get one place to another. Boston Dynamics is a technology company for example. They build robots for the sake of building robots and hoping to sell the technology.

It's also quite possible that the theory was derived to fit these observations. This theory has yet to predict anything new that has been proven. Until it does it only amounts to a possible way of connecting two unexplained and possibly flawed observations.
What is often missed in these statistics is that 90% of the homicides committed by black citizens are committed against black citizens, so it's not surprising that blacks are overrepresented in homicide statistics since they are overrepresented in poor income neighborhoods where all the problems inherent to poverty exacerbate the cycle of violence.

That is absurd; prosecutions decline to pursue cases all the time.

Men, Jews

The Men thing is interesting. Men and women have either the same average intelligence, or just slightly different. But the reason that you have a preponderance of men with very high intellect is because men's intelligence is distributed on a normal distribution('bell curve')[0] that is broader than the distribution for women. So you end up with more men than women occupying the very high and low edges of the intelligence distribution. More male geniuses, but also more male dunces.

Yeah, and you're right, not much bias in the process. Results of this type tend to speak for themselves.[1]

STL is very common in the 3D printing space, as many 3D printers accept it as their input file (to print with).

For other use cases, like transferring model data between programs, then STEP files (.STP) are very common instead. A STEP file contains much more data about the model than the equivalent STL file, so can be much more useful.

STEP seems like a pretty huge set of specs though (possibly a bit scary to implement from the ground up):

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosquito_laser it would cost $50. They deliberately built it using already available parts (the laser is the same as used for bluray for example) to keep cost down. The problem seems to be (as parent pointed out) reliable electricity.
A problem with SET ROLE in particular, however, is that it takes an identifier, not a string - it cannot be parameter. However, PostgreSQL does have a quote_ident function you can use to prevent arbitrary SQL injection (this won't prevent you from injecting a specific DB role, but honestly this is fairly trivial to secure at the application level).
