The Nordic countries have their own problems.

The press is owned by the state, making the freedom of the press a little difficult.

Because of the high taxes and plentiful regulations, your only options for employment are huge corporations or government.

Hardly what I call freedom.

Switzerland, on the other hand, is more free. Mostly because the majority of citizens have some wealth.

Many people associate more government programs and freebies with freedom. In reality, it only creates dependent groups of people and gives more control and power to the government. The exact opposite of freedom.
Market: participants freely exchange goods

Rational: subject acts according to their own utility function

Freely acting is equivalent to rationally acting, which is precisely where markets can exist.

>> Plus the added "security" of the front desk... Makes it feel more secure.

For me, there's also the fact that you are one unit out of very many within the hotel. Even if someone is going to be bold enough to break into a hotel room in the more "public environment", the odds are fairly low you'd be the victim from a pool of hundreds of rooms. Your stay is also brief, so you don't have a routine schedule a would-be criminal has time to study. Plus there's typically not going to be much worth stealing out of a hotel room anyway (wide screen TV, computers, etc).

I've always felt fairly safe in large apartment/condo buildings. I've never lived on the ground floor, so it feels like the odds of someone entering the building (or climbing the outside), coming to my floor, and choosing my specific unit to break into are quite low. You're very unlikely to be targeted by outside strangers; and there is a much smaller pool of people who live in the building capable of targeting you.

Three years ago I moved into an apartment with a street-level door. Basically a neighbourhood of townhouse-like buildings. It's been almost two years since I was burglarized while at work. I still don't sleep well anymore, with the ever-present feeling of dread that a nighttime home invasion is coming any day now. I can't leave the apartment for longer than 30 minutes at a time without expecting to come home to another completed burglary. I can't afford to move yet, but I can't wait for the day I go back to doubling my current rent to live in a higher class, 100+ dwelling building.

I will probably never buy a house. As I get older and save for a down payment, I'm sure it will be for a condo. I don't care for condo associations with their politics and fees, and the fact you only own or semi-own a section of an entire building. But I would never feel safe in a house where I have only a single door sitting between myself and my things, and an entire city full of parasitic people.

Whether it is minuscule or meaningless is isomorphically equivalent to the question of whether reproduction itself is meaningless. I'd say the meaning in this case is in the eye of the beholder.

Nothing douchey about it. Car drivers are taking an enormous amount of public resources and endangering the public while they do it. They can wait a few seconds so that you don't have to wait indefinitely for them in crosswalks.

I love that video.

There is nothing offensive in the video, I think he does a pretty good job explaining how bat shit ridiculous javascript is.

If you are writing js professionally and haven't already come to terms with that and the existential crisis it entails... you're gonna have a bad time.
I wish the site had a dedicated demo gallery to show case the features, especially the animation and responsiveness. There are some demos in the documentation, but nothing that gives chartJS the showcase it deserves.

Don't get me wrong. This is a wonderful piece of work and I want everyone involved to succeed.
I so no reason to stop there. What about other necessities such as the agriculture and food industry? The ISP business should be federally planned as well.

I'm even starting to think the electronics industry and software industries would benefit from being completely centrally planned.

History has shown that free markets fail to allocate well. And lots of socialist and communist countries have demonstrated that fully centrally planning an economy is possible and can be done well. Central planning rarely fails.
That issue is only true for legal reasons. And even then it's entirely speculation what an actual court would decide.

If you actually cared about your patients, then you would use whatever method has the highest accuracy. False predictions mean injury or death. Using a suboptimal method means people die.

The best of both worlds is to use the whatever model gets the best predictions. Then train another model which is understandable on the output of the first one. I.e. generate random data, see what predictions the good model makes. Then the understandable model has infinite data to train with and doesn't need to worry about overfitting.

But still, the utility of being able to understand the model is limited. It's just a big set of parameters, without any reasoning or explanation of why the parameters are what they are.

Same here, also, I never run the printer itself wirelessly, always wired, with a static IP.

Oh man, that sucks to hear. I'm not sure if it's even legal for the employer to collect personal medical info (if you have a family covered under the insurance, potentially exposing theirs as well)...insurance companies might want that kinda info to determine the premiums. Do you know?

Right, but if you mess up your install, you could deny someone the ability to call 911 (because they're connected to your rogue network, and because I don't think 911 can be provided on a rogue network).

That would be bad.

I think that self driving cars will help with parking, but not with traffic. You won't have to park your car in the city, where space is at a premium, the car will go park itself at another location, or pick up another passenger.
That's an interesting point. I think you may see something similar to tourist districts today where the streets are closed to traffic outside of certain hours. People drive near the area and continue on foot.

Autonomous vehicles may be even better for this, as a person could be dropped off at the closest accessible point, then the vehicle retreats to a lower-density area.
LastAudit – Free Portable Window Security Audit Tool
It seems crazy to me that performance takes a backseat to syntactical sugar, which is most of what ES6 provides. There are a few new constructs, but in my mind when is it ever acceptable to have performance regressions to make the code look pretty?

And the fact that it isn't optional is alarming. If you use the new features, you should have to suffer performance penalty if there is one, and at least be able to make that design choice and trade-off between "cleaner" or "prettier" code and poor performance.

I don't think you can call something "complete" or green until the performance issue is solved.
Yes, I use git-crypt, but I'm paranoid :)
Interesting. Never heard this argument. I'd counter by saying WiFi bands are encrypted but commercial use hasnt swampee them. So not sure how likely the scenario is.

Nonetheless, I'd be up for discussing escrowed, authenticated encryption or key retention with random civil audits. That would be better than nothing. They could have an auditor that's nog a cop get the keys to certain transmissions to check them. Only forwarded to authorities if criminal activity is found. This would let us retain privacy quite a bit while mitigating issue you mentioned.

Loved the article. I do not agree with the assessment that Silicon valley startups compete based on better products. In fact, it's quite the opposite. All the popular ones you have heard of have taken large amounts of money and subsidize their products a great amount. If you are a less funded startup, it is impossible to complete in such a scenario. In fact, you absolutely have to get lots of funding first, you have no choice.

So yeah, you have the same problem everywhere and not just indonesia. At the end of the day, all is fair in love, war and business.

Many people held in high regard by HN for "encryption apps" received DARPA grants for similar work (through CFT). For example, moxie [0].

DARPA does good work and I'm sure they are very interested in having a bullet proof secure messaging system for battlefields and tons of other applications as well. The software quality delivered by defense contractors and the like is much much lower than something like signal, so it's probably a huge need.

Most countries that have VAT have a uniform percentage for the whole country.
That's a basic part of regularization! Weights are "penalized" for being too big, and encouraged to be as small as possible. This results in most of the weights being zero, which is the same as them not existing at all.

There is some research on pruning networks after training, removing small weights and nodes that don't contribute much. This results in much smaller neural networks, which run better on smartphones or embedded devices.

This isn't done often though because on GPUs it doesn't result in higher performance. Because of the way SIMD instructions work or something, there's no way to take advantage of sparser neural networks. A synapse of weight 0 still requires a multiplication by zero, and adding the zero to the sum.
It gives 20GB space online, which is great. I'm a bit wary of these cloud platforms and have a fear they'd disappear after sometime (like how Ubuntu's did and others have in the past). Anyone know how strong the financials and projections are for this cloud project (not just LibreOffice/Document Foundation overall)? I can't seem to find anything specific on the website.

Once upon a time I did some work at a software firm which serviced financial institutions, including many very recognizable names.

I came into work one day and a colleague had a piece of paper on his desk requesting that we not touch his machine.

A macro was running which was switching between two open programs, highlighting fields, and copy and pasting data.

I'm still not sure if I should be alarmed or in awe. It was probably the most sensible option of the available options...

What part of UHH do you think is not obsolete? I dislike many aspects of Unix, but it seems like 90% of the book is either wrong, meaningless invective, or obsolete. It's hard to view it as of more than historical value -- which is a shame, because Unix is far from perfect.

Only by the ignorant who couldn't define freedom to begin with. If you have freedom than you also have the right to limit your freedom by engaging in contracts with others. HOAs are nothing more than this, and everyone who lives in an HOA chose to be subject to the terms of the contract.

To claim you have less freedom under an HOA (something you voluntarily choose) than you would under a local government (something forced upon you) is ridiculous.

I think it's about what tools you use day to day. If, for example, you have SSH installed on your machine but don't have sshd enabled, then you could care less how outdated it is. Nobody is exploiting you through it if it's not running. If all you use your workstation for is browsing and text editing, then it's safe to assume you want those two applications to be as secure as possible. You can then look at, for example, what browser version the distro of your choice ships and judge it from that. Firefox, as an example, releases quite often and a distro that doesn't keep up with those updates gets a minus point from me. This is my personal view at things and may not sit with everyone.
To the author: I really respect you for building a startup back home but this article feels more like a rant all over the place though.

It also sounds like you don't really know the market in Indonesia and you're trying to replicate what you know about US/Silicon Valley market back home as-is and didn't achieve the result you were hoping for (I haven't seen anyone done that and be successful either).

I know an owner/co-founder of a startup in Indonesia and they have diverse channels.

Having said that, I wish you more success down the line.
MIT provides a great book on learning deep learning. Amazon web services and many other big name virtualization services provide free trial periods for their services. A raspberry pi and a cheap tv and keyboard/mouse will get you the ability to write programs and you can get free phone service and internet with absurdly cheap smartphones available at most retail stores. All of the courses you need to work up to a masters in theoretical physics are available through MIT OCW and the perimeter institute or other programs(Stanford, UCI), and there are many programs that will help you with starting up a company. There's no excuse nowadays. A couple of years ago, yes, but now, there's no excuse.

Widening highways won't help if the highway is not the actual problem. I've got no proof, but I suspect that the reason that I-5 in Seattle gets bogged down is because cars can't be drained off of it fast enough during rush hour. If that's the case adding more lanes wouldn't help.

> I encourage you to look at an actual graph of housing prices and foreign exchange rates. They really don't track each other.

I'd be very interested to see such a graph. I'd also be interested to know what you mean by foreign exchange rates (I've been assuming you're talking about USD relative to all other currencies). [0] seems to indicate that FX rates affect real estate prices.

> Also, most people have home loans and houses are not currency.

I really struggle to see how that's relevant in the slightest. No one claimed that houses are currency.

> Further, having your currency appreciate is bad for many parts of the economy.

That supports the notion that FX fluctuations will affect real estate prices. A region with worse economic prospects will likely have less demand for housing than an otherwise identical area with better economic prospects.

No, they we're already running code on the box with high enough permissions, so they're allowed to inspect processrs and do whatever is necessary. No C-like memory protection stuff matters at that point.

What would have prevented it was not letting them have root in the first place. Perhaps by running with Software Restriction Policies so only a whitelist of binaries can run in the first place.
