I completely disagree on most of these points.

1. Apps - Yes sandboxed and owned by apple or google.

2. Online site - No, not at all. There are a million other platforms for paid traffic. There is literally billions of places to get referral traffic, millions of which are social. Organic relies on Google, but they are much much better than any reasonable alternative. Following their rules is incredibly simple - don't cheat and produce good content. Horror stories exist but they are tiny tiny minorities.

3. Physical Product - No, you don't have to go to amazon at all. Why would you even think that? Make an ecommerce store just like millions of other brands and millions of individuals.

4. Make a mistake back then - Change your sign. Now just buy a new domain. What about the internet prevents you from changing branding? Yeah you need to rebuild your organic, but thats the penalty for being a shit brand.

Algorithm only rules what you let it, and in some cases (organic) its the best thing you could hope for (if your brand is quality).

Everybody games the algorithm, but if you cross it you die? ...okay.
Suppose, hypothetically, the party leaders decided that they wanted Sanders over Clinton. Would they be able to make this happen?

I read somewhere that the Democrats have a lot of delegates that are chosen because they are state or local party officials, and that these delegates are not bound to any particular candidate, and that these delegates are heavily favoring Clinton.

I'm curious because there is a good chance that Trump will not get enough delegates to win the Republican nomination on the first vote (Cruz and Kasich definitely cannot get enough). If that happens, it is plausible that Kasich could get the nomination. Kasich is the only one of him, Trump, and Cruz that consistently beats Clinton in polls and in a contested convention a lot of Republicans will be arguing that there is no point in nominating someone who cannot win.

The Democratic convention occurs shortly after the Republican convention ends. If Kasich does get the nomination I wonder if those unbound Democratic delegates might switch from Clinton to Sanders, because Sanders consistently trounces all Republicans in polls, and Sanders would also probably do a better job of getting out the youth vote which could help Democrats regain control of Congress.
Geez, this is exactly what the commenter is talking about. Nobody brought race into this, and everyone knows about the racist history of America. Your comment was off-topic and did not further the conversation in any meaningful way, except set a tone of condescension towards this person's generation. Stop it.

The Google Play store is also not accessible in China, an no doubt a few other countries, so it's just sensible to provide an alternative download anyway...
I think the reason for this particular list is that it's from the standpoint of a programming language implementation team, and one that's currently working on targeting a 2nd platform.

Given that, it reads as a list of what the VM can do for you and what you'll need to do yourself in the compiler.
I think you've nailed it there. A professional scientist can't take this seriously because the reputational risk is so high.

Science needs to embrace failure more!

These things are never so simple. If a country pulls this sort of thing too often, then negotiations with other nations (especially the one whose treaty you pulled out of) will necessarily be much less willing to negotiate new treaties with them.

Treaties are more than just trade, they also signify a strong relationship between nations because the nations who negotiate treaties are signalling that they are willing to cooperate in a constructive fashion with that other nation, and that they want to maintain a peaceful relationship with the other nation.

It is far, far better never to sign up to a treaty that is "bad" (normally a power imbalance) than it is to sign up to one, and then pull out of it.
And your visitors? Chrome for example makes a user jump through hoops to visit a site with a self signed cert. Safari requires the cert to be installed on the user's machine before it allows secure websockets
The nRF51 is a microcontroller with built-in BLE. The USB interface is for programming.
An adapter exists to drive an external display and power. The reality is, a secondary display for most (read: casual, mainly nontechnical consumers who certainly don't read Hacker News nor know of its existence) people is not a priority. Sort of like how inserting a DVD into a computer is no longer a priority for me.

It cannot support 4k @ 60hz. I know this because I also own a Dell 27" 4k display to pair with my main machine. I have only connected the Macbook to the display via HDMI (by means of said adapter). It supports 30hz at best.

I have not tried a 1440p display. It (of course) runs at 1080p just fine.
> ... for workload throughput adding another tier isn't going to do much unless you have some concrete optimizations you are going to run that you decided against due to cost of compile time.

Isn't this statement pretty much the entirety of the reason to implement multi-tiered JITs? Do a fast JIT with few optimizations to get out of interpreted mode. Then do a slow JIT after you've collected enough statistics to make good optimization decisions.
No big surprise here. The design screamed "second system effect!" I'm surprised nobody at Tesla was able to reign in the feature list. Big management failure IMO. Tesla should have focused on the electric drivetrain + control software and avoided all the needlessly complex tangential mechanical features. The Model X showed that Tesla's engineers lack wisdom.
Which is funny/sad, as the CLR has more opportunity for perf. For instance, in its generics implementation and value types.

Though the CLR has a lot more "outs", where you can use raw pointers and such. Even put " managed" objects on an unmanaged heap. Don't think this is possible in the JVM. So you can write more C-like code in .net then you can represent in the JVM.

He started before the feature was released and acknowledges they came up with an in-product solution:

"and it seems they now have a full fledged solution for the problem, based on pretty much a reimplementation of AutoScaling, using machine learning and with a beautiful UI and they are really successful with it. Funnily enough, they even contacted me to sell that solution to my company and we are seriously evaluating it"
In Apple's defense, I would imagine that most people who are getting rid of old Apple devices don't think about taking the devices to the Apple Store because that's where they buy new products. They typically take their products to an electronic recycling center, or even worse, they just throw it away in the garbage. Apple may be 'cheating the system' by paying these companies to receive credit for some X amount of pounds, but it's not like they're able to force their customers to return old Apple products to their stores.
Is potency a significant portion of "quality", in which case you could just smoke twice as much? Or is the effects different if you don't do it properly?
> They have the same expectations as someone who uses beta software,

Really? After paying $140,000? I think for that price many of them were expecting (quite reasonably) that their cars would be worry free.

I'm sure somebody's tried it. But the differences are so large that no amount of statistical trickery is going to be able to make them go away.

One must also consider that it isn't the density per se, but the populations. For example, you could compare two equally dense areas but made up of different population groups. You would find a difference.
I am not any kind of lawyer, but my understanding is that each state follows its own rules and does not defer to the rules of any other state just because you live, work, or registered your business there. So for the states that follow UDITPA, they will apportion income to themselves, and assess the resulting taxes, according to UDIPTA rules regardless of what other rules your business might be subject to in other states.

But, again, I am far from an authority on this topic, so don't take my word for it, and if you find out a way to find out for sure please let me know :)
Not quite, you left out the part where he had to drive to a meeting with one hand on the steering wheel, and one hand holding the door closed. Oh well!
That's not even close to the same thing. C# allows declaration of types within other types, but it also allows declaration of multiple top-level types within a single compilation unit. And with partial classes, it also allows declaration of a single type across multiple compilation units.
Awesome :-) I guess I need to re-read the git man pages yet again. There's also git add -A which I can use if I add a new file.
Oh, I definitely agree, dang. I was just trying to clarify that I wouldn't have left such a comment for a summary only. I get that people sometimes unfortunately want to have a Reader's Digest abridged version of an article so they can, I guess, distill key points without investing the time to read. But I spend every day on HN because it's usually not the regular thing that happens. Sure, some might find it valuable. But I commented because I don't want to see that kind of thing posted into every article thread here, and I especially don't want to see it with a promotional link for a startup. I obviously don't have a comment history of complaining about people offering summaries. I'm sure I've done something similar here or there. But I really want to see thoughtful, insightful discussion. That's what's made HN such a great place to spend hours a day for years. I (thought obviously) only commented because this particular thing was done on two articles I hit consecutively, and I really didn't want the OP to think that was a good practice here. I guess next time I'll take the time I should have to provide a less reactionary comment, since I seem to have bothered a number of other readers with the way I spoke.
Oh sure, I'm not trying to compare NYC vs. SV directly, SV is clearly an order of magnitude larger. I was just comparing fundraising in NYC today vs. 10 years ago, and it's lightyears different. I can tell you from working with VCs, the whole attitude towards nyc startups is very different.

As far as the general mentality of paying it forward goes, I've got a healthy sense of cynicism towards that (maybe it's the new yorker in me). I find successful individuals are equally supportive here as in the bay area, but in NYC there's a lot less of the ridiculous hustler optimism that technology can cure all ills, and fewer ridiculous startups get funded out here.

But sure, yes, SV is much bigger than NYC, that's not in doubt.
Current deficit is actually about 500 billion per year.
Or alternatively, you're trying to get out and neither the doors nor windows will open. To add more excitement, you really have to go to the washroom.

This is why I believe there should always be a mechanical override for safety-critical features; locks, brakes, steering. I trust hardware far more than software.
How Will We Explore Books in the 21st Century?
I'm a bit confused "forgo a quick reward in favor of a bigger one that comes later" but as I read it, it was smacking head against glass or not?
I recently implemented something like this, albeit for a research-use-only device. We used an embedded intel board with separate PCAP touchscreen connected to the LVDS+USB interface. X.org supported it out of the box. Out product runs on linux/C++ with html/js UI. There are a couple of embeddable web browsers. I've been very satisfied with a simple X11 browser based on Chromium embedded framework.

PCAP touchscreen worked well with double-gloved fingers and there are touch controllers that will reject a stray water droplet on the screen.

I'm not sure about the OS considerations for medical device use, but for linux you might consider the yocto project, which is designed for this kind of stripped down deployment. It will limit the number of moving parts you have to validate. If you're less devoted to the open source route, check out QT's boot-to-qt offering. QT ui's are common in this field and I believe there are supported boards at a range of price points.

You wouldn't want to hitch your design to Rasperry Pi or Beaglebone or such because of the short support lifetime of individual models and components. Part of what you pay for with the industrial vendors is a commitment to supply the system for 5-10 years.

If any of this is helpful, drop a note using the email in my profile.
I've design with Intel Atoms and ARM chips. Atoms are very bloated and require a lot of external support to get up and running. Intel's firmware/boot support is atrocious. They still have PC OEM's in mind. ARM chips on the other hand are much easier/cheaper to design for. The SoC is better integrated and targeted towards a low overall BOM cost. Core M is worse than Atom.

threatens the lives of poor people in third world countries, suddenly we're worried about the ecosystem?

I don't know how this will be received. I don't even know how I feel about it. But someone has to ask the tough questions.

Is it evolutionarily prudent to go about saving people who can't save themselves?

our current solution of "let all the poor people die" is not a good one.

I don't think that is our "current solution," the lives of many of the world's "poor" have gotten immeasurably better, health and material wise, since contact with Europeans.

Prior to outside contact sub-Saharan Africans didn't have the wheel, written language, a calendar, buildings greater than 1-story, any mechanical devices, domesticated animals, ...

Efforts against malaria, and for clean water are ongoing. Iodised salt does wonders. The list goes on... I don't know how you got in your mind your "current solution."

How to get Google Chrome old versions between 46 to 49?
I need to play MP4 files which was working fine between Version 46 to 49. But since 50 there is many major bugs which i cant live with.

I can go back to Chromium but then MP4 files does not work on it, how can i therefore get Google Chrome version 46 or 47, or 48 or 49?

Please advise, i have tried many stackoverflow sites advise but they all seem to fail. can anyone show working example of real-world?
Reliability problems in exotics/supercars in the $150K+ price range are not uncommon. It's somewhat more tolerable for most as those cars are not bought as daily drivers, but I get the sense that's not the case with most Tesla owners.

Rather funny to read all the excuses. "We all expected a few bugs, like beta testing software" --- I'm not buying it. Beta testers usually don't pay six figures for the privilege.

Compare to my $2,500 secondhand Ford that has had no faults in several years of ownership. Yes it does need occasional oil and filter changes. I'll take that compared to doors that won't open or brakes that activate upon sensing ghosts.
This is meta, but you can make the quoted text more readable if you add a newline after some X number of words, like this:

Otellini said Intel passed on the opportunity to supply
Apple because the economics did not make sense at the
time given the forecast product cost and expected
volume. He told The Atlantic, "The thing you have
to remember is that this was before the iPhone was
introduced and no one knew what the iPhone would do...
At the end of the day, there was a chip that they were
interested in that they wanted to pay a certain price
for and not a nickel more and that price was below our
forecasted cost. I couldn't see it.

"It wasn't one of these things you can make up on
volume. And in hindsight, the forecasted cost was wrong
and the volume was 100x what anyone thought."
Because one way of making new things is to take two existing things and combining them into some new arrangement. It's pretty much humanity in a nutshell. So they took "the us govt requires companies of a certain size to set up recycling programs", combine it with "Apple sells a lot of stuff", and bingo, you've got "apple recycles a ton of stuff" as a new story. It's kinda lazy, but it's low hanging fruit.
wit.ai is easy to use. You provide some example queries and manually classify training data. Now, every query you give to it returns probabilities of the categories it may belong to. Rinse and repeat.

Beautiful satire!
Wow, was this Darpa's iFab? I don't recognize you from your username but I wouldn't be surprised if we worked together in some indirect way. I had literally the same experiences and explored all those same kernels. ... We concluded that the issues with OpenCascade's Boolean operations were so baked into the code that they'd probably be better off with a total rewrite. From what we could tell digging in the code, they tesselate the BRep, do a boolean on the tesselations, and then try to match the results back to the input surfaces. This ended up with all kinds of nonmanifold surfaces, edges, and vertices, in addition to taking minutes to hours to return an answer, if it ever did return. One guy took a pretty deep dive into that code to try to figure if he could optimize it, and it was bad in so many ways, like it was doing something that required tons of triangles to be copied and reconstructed over and over. ... I'll give OpenCascade credit for one thing though, which is that an STL generated from a manifold input STEP or other file format will actually be a manifold STL (i.e. crack free etc to the level of assuming "identical" vertices will be bit for bit identical in the STL file). Try making even a trivial part into STL with Solidworks and I virtually guarantee that "identical" vertices will not be bit for bit identical. There will be cracks and you'll have to correct for them. I've never had that problem with OpenCascade. Whatever there tesselation algorithm is, it at least makes crack free results.
I'm not sure lack of wisdom is a fair characterization. It does not look like they have functionality regressions caused by new features in other sections of the car. Had the new features ruined some old ones, I would have agreed with you, but these issues are all centered around the new features themselves. With that in mind, your characterization of wisdom in this context will be a prescription of never changing anything radically. They took a risk and they'll likely make it work just fine in near-term updates despite the embarrassing v1 and then we'll look back and see they have made a great car which wouldn't have existed had they been wiser.
> It also bleeds into differences between C# and Java whose features often include compiler-level-only features that the underlying VirtualMachine is not cognizant of.

The opinions stated here are my own, not necessarily those of Google.

From my understanding Google was one of the main contributors of the core features that have allowed containers on Linux. Specifically cgroups and LXC. And they have have been running containers for 10 years: https://research.google.com/pubs/pub43438.html

I'm not sure what you consider new, but it's definitely not super new to Google. I'm guessing your issue is that it's fairly new to being used in production across many companies, so security researchers are just starting to work on finding holes in it.
Somebody built this complicated device without already having any understanding of how it supposedly works, and you think it might work anyway? Talk about winning the lottery.

Also, I am just putting forward a dangerous possibility other than the effect on the food chain..
People noticed an effect every time the Dean Drive was turned on... but it is just a stiction engine and obviously won't work in space. It could be this drive is actually generating magnetic forces or moving air around and thus "creating thrust" by pushing off its surroundings, which won't work in a vacuum.
Itanium was a trojan horse to get their rivals to give up on MIPS/Alpha/UltraSparc development. As soon as those CPUs lost all traction, Intel dumped Itanium as well. Intel was never serious about the Itanium. Considering how performance sensitive it ought to be, Intel chose to build Itaniums on older manufacturing processes. The fact that Itanium performance was hopeless should not have been a surprise.
I think Tesla owners bought the car expecting a fully functioning vehicle. Running a long running public "beta" a la Gmail isn't an option when your customers have paid you tens of thousands of $.
Itanium was EPIC, pretty much the opposite of RISC. Intel bet on compilers being good enough to tell the CPU which branches it could execute in parallel, and lost that bet.
My parents used to have an Audi A5 - sometimes, when you've hit a decline just right, it would shut off completely, no steering, nothing, all you could do was to let the car roll and reboot it.

Where do you get your ethically produced meat from?
In the early 90s there was an incident that happened to my house that ended up in the local news. The details reported in the news seemed like they were totally made up from someone who happened to be driving by and then told someone else what they thought might have happened. They reported the house was vacant rather than interviewing my family or the other tenants of the not at all vacant 6 family house! We were home the whole time! We didn't see a single reporter or news station even do a drive by of the house before running the story. They would not even have had to knock to ask us what happened - we were outside cleaning up for most of the day as the incident caused a huge mess.

It shocked me that such little effort was made to actually find out what happened before reporting it as fact to the public.

I actually think that they would be less likely to do that today with social media.
Like Bill Hicks said: "Why is marijuana against the law? It grows naturally on our planet, serves a thousand different functions, all of them positive. To make marijuana against the law is like saying that God made a mistake."[1]
