I wrote about horrors of scientific publishing not just from the viewership side, but also from publishing side a few years ago. tl;dr - Publishers have just too much control on publishing process and distribution process when they bring almost nothing to the table in the digital world we are living today. The very fact that as a scientist you can only submit a paper to one journal at a time and wait for months and sometimes a year to get a response is insane and completely unacceptable. Imagine if you have to do it when you are applying for a job.

And hopefully now, he'll learn his lesson and never do it again as pretty much everyone in the industry learns if they don't burn out before they do. Employers don't give a shit about you. If you don't/can't understand that, you're not a professional yet.

The result of the addition isn't order dependent; whether or not there is overflow is order-dependent.

I put that into my original comment for the sake of completeness, in an additional edit after the floating-point remark. Ironically, it was to fend off smart-alecky follow-ups about how I forgot integer overflow.

A higher-level language should have a plus operator/function that traps integer overflows if it doesn't provide bignums.

If a sum function is defined as a simple left fold over the sequence using that plus, then part of the semantics of that sum is to throw the exception as soon as adding the next element from the sequence to the left accumulator overflows.

If an order-permuting operation is removed from the expression, it can introduce an overflow where there was none. Perhaps the programmer had that apparently useless order-permuting operation precisely to prevent overflow.

The ASTRONOMICALLY MASSIVE ethical issues aside, scientifically and medically speaking, this is pure lunacy.

"Organ" rejection is going to be a huge problem here, as you have the head's immune response fighting with the body's and no previous research has been shown that one will win over the other.

The surgeon has done this on 2 monkey models and there is not yet a long term history of the procedure. There are no verification studies by other groups, AFAIK, that prove his methods work. There are no measures of the health of the monkey in the long term. I believe that the monkeys were all healthy and diseased like the human cases.

Where is the body donor coming from and in what state is that corpse relative to surgery? Was it in an automotive accident 2 hours ago? Too many variables here.

Small monkeys are one thing to freeze down, but a human head is another. Maybe try this on pigs first and see, as their vascular system is comparable in size to ours and they have will be a good extreme case for eating issues and infections that the person will encounter.

What in the everliving hell kind of surgery suite is this going to be?! Holy mother if it is not going to be the most expensive operation in history. The chaos in trying to get all those people in there and in the right places at the right times itself will need to be practiced for months if not a year. Again, porcine models will help with that.

Now, the science aside. The ethical issues are astounding and not easily dismissed. The artificial heart changed our perception of ourselves as what it meant to be human, and if this goes through, this will be just as challenging to our ideas of a human as well. That said, the surgeon sounds like a nut bag that has been writing himself too many painkillers or something. I'd never want this guy to operate on me.
I don't really think the backlash is happening as you describe. There's quite a lot of public awareness about ongoing communications and privacy issues, and implementing SSL is extremely cheap in most cases. "We need to upgrade your security to keep things working, it will take a day" is a fairly straightforward sell in most cases.

It is a dataflow language and deals with tensors (multi dim arrays), so tensor + dataflow = tensorflow.
So instead of a yes/no confirmation, you force the user to explicitly type what they are doing, i.e. "Sell 610,000 shares of stock X for 1 yen each."

This is similar to how Github forces you to type the name of a repository when you try to delete it.

You can also configure a threshold such that the "hardcore" prompt kicks in only if the system detects that the user is trying to do something unusual, i.e. sell a stock for much cheaper than it is.
Do you want to do then because they give you pleasure to do, or because you desire the results?
I'm working toward moving my deep learning project DeepSentry into e-commerce. DeepSentry was developed in Python3 and C. After any significant amount of time 60+ days the dataset per host is TB-PB. So, I've been digging into implementing a Big Data solution. I've found that Apache Spark on Hadoop-MapR with Postgres is popular.
I do find it ironic that you're getting so worked up about how a device that's actually from Google with Google's spin on Android has Google baked in. Since your Moto device doesn't do that, and since Nexus devices are specifically designed to let you install any ROM of your choosing (e.g. this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKKBbRHwIVQ seems to let one remove the search bar), I fail to see the problem here.

The first version of our socket service was called, unsurprisingly, "socket" service. We had to deprecate it for various reasons and build a new one. Our engineers have a sense of humor, so the product is what you see before you today :)
It's manifestly false that "it would not permit searches or seizures that are not already legal." Currently if all I have is a warrant issued in Venue A then it is illegal for me to do a search in Venue B on the basis of that warrant. But after the change under some circumstances, the Venue A warrant makes it legal for me to do a search in Venue B.

Thus searches that were illegal are now legal.

Otherwise why bother making any change?
My theory: Bezos/Amazon is preparing for a potentially dangerous financial situation in the market, and taking a little cash out for a rainy day is a good idea.
At GitLab we've been working with some volunteers at the FSF/GNU Project to improve our score on the Ethical Repo Criteria Evaluation [1]. We've got an issue open about LibreJS [2] specifically, as well as another to fix the other issue preventing us from receiving a B grade. We're also working on resolving some of the A grade criteria, albeit not all of them [3].

It's disheartening to see the FSF demonized here, as I've been pleasantly surprised with the discussions I've had with most of their members. In the last HN thread about the Ethical Repo Evaluation, people called their requirements ridiculous. I agree with that for some of the A grade criteria, e.g. the GNU/Linux requirement, but I think people are misunderstanding the purpose of the A grade, which is to signal that a site is "sufficiently free" and can be used to host the GNU Project's source code. This is partly the fault of the FSF having poor communication, of course.

I'd like to highlight a comment by an FSF Volunteer regarding our work on some criteria for the A grade, "Thanks for taking the time on this; I'm very encouraged, and I'm happy with any progress made. Again: since these criteria are for hosting of GNU projects, they're a bit more strict and won't be met by most services."

GitLab CE is licensed under the MIT Expat License, not the GPL, and yet they're perfectly happy to work with us regardless. Outwardly they advocate for extreme ideas, but they're also willing to compromise.

Apologies if this is rambly at all, or comes off as "shilling" in any way, I just wanted to share my story of interacting with the FSF. Hopefully I can convince some people that they're not all living in caves yelling about how they'll never use non-GPL software.

I don't think it'd even be that hard. Unless new mined blocks are untraceable (as in, it's impossible to see which fees went to which new coins), then it provides no covering at all. It's the same as sending small amounts from one address to another.

> The "same job" is a subjective distinction, so you can't say it's entirely false; it's really a matter of opinion.

No, it's not. Certainly there are some distinctions at the margins, as you note.

There are, however, some very clear distinctions. Women dominate elementary education, which I hope we can all agree is a very different job than programming (for example).

To reiterate, I don't know whether these preferences are innate or learned. In fact, I suspect it's the latter. But we shouldn't ignore them_if women were in fact paid less for doing the exact same jobs, solution would actually be a lot easier.

First part: why?
Lack of AMT on ISO exercise creates a bunch of tax loopholes.

Imagine a family member transferring a large family asset to the next generation by treating the asset as a corporation which keeps issuing new shares. If shares are transferred as-is, the recipient would have to treat their value as income, so instead the corporation issues a bunch of ISOs and allows the recipient to exercise those.

If the shares are never sold, the recipient avoids income tax and estate tax on a fairly large wealth transfer.

> if investors are buying preferred shares and not common stock which the employees own, how is the fair market value of the ISO's determined?

IRS code section 409a. Companies typically hire 409a evaluators who have data on companies with similar metrics. But from employee's standpoint it's basically the strike price of ISOs issued to someone who'd join today.
Theoretically, one doesn't even need directional lanes, anymore. You just have a road, and cars go where they most efficiently fit; lanes won't have any meaning anymore, just like most road signs won't have any purpose. If every car is communicating with every other car, and every car knows where it needs to go and how to get there in the shortest time, it can look like utter chaos to the human eye, and still be entirely safe (assuming we go to great lengths to insure reliable software and hardware).

Of course, I expect it to take decades for us to reach that point, which is really unfortunate. That's a lot of senseless auto collision deaths due to human error while we wait for the future to arrive. If governments were capable of looking forward, at all, they would recognize the massive savings an all AI road represents, both monetary and health, and would be pushing hard for it (both enabling private industry to implement it and guiding public funded research).

The point of "doing your computing" is the concept of freedom within the Free Software movement.

According to RMS, "freedom is having control over your life". "In a computer system there are just two possibilities: either the user controls the program or the program controls the user".

So, "doing your own computing" is "having control over your life", and thus, having freedom.
LightSpeed C: modify-to-run in a couple of seconds (often).

Something changes when you have near instant turnaround time. It's magic.

Some of the most miserable time I've spent has on projects with tooling where builds took hours, and often hours just to fail. I was even okay with 30 minute turnaround time, as long as it was clear that the bottleneck wasn't fucking lame tools: The need to burn a bunch of EPROMs for each build, for instance . . . though I fixed that as soon as I could.

An ID/Medical/Etc card scanning/viewing mobile app. Something that will nicely scan my wallet cards and allow me to easily bring the scans up and (if needed) email/print/photocopy the images of them on demand.

Bonus points for:

- Search capabilities (requires OCR, or at least manual tagging)

- Geolocation (if I'm at a doctor's office, bring my medical card to the front).

- Security - Encrypt the images in memory and require a PIN to unlock.

- Bright mode for barcode scanning/photocopying (which overlaps with other apps like Passbook, Wallet, etc, but they don't support non-shopping cards).
Yeah, I won't try to speak for Eric or the SpiderMonkey team. Maybe Eric is firmly in support of STC, but in my experience he's very good at going beyond just implementation concerns and considering all the design constraints (one of which is the cost/benefit analysis of new syntax to the user model). IMO the important question isn't who supports what but what's the best outcome. AFAICT, all three of PTC, STC, and no tail calls are on the table, but there's more hashing out to be done.

Your new wording seems totally fine -- sorry if I was pedantic, and I'm really not bent out of shape about your blog post. I just want to be sure that people don't get confused about where things stand. New features such as STC require time to bake (which is part of what the multi-stage lifecycle for proposals is all about) -- I only meant to clarify the state of the discussion.

Edit: Grrr, re-reading this it still feels like I'm speaking for Eric. He's his own guy, I should shut up about his position! All I mean to say is, I don't think anyone should be staking out strong positions at this point in syntax design. The design process is iterative and uncovers new constraints and effects, and we should all keep open minds and work collaboratively. I'm open to all possible outcomes: PTC, STC, no tail calls at all. Tricky space!
Do you mind if I ask how you've positioned yourself to get all of these offers? Are you a visible public figure or is it all through word of mouth?

Interesting. My experience - personally, and from other people who have lost weight - seems to mirror the article's conclusions.

The great benefit of procrastination is that it saves a lot of work. Future you isn't going to have to do it in two months, because no one is going to have to do it. Something will come along and tableflip everyone's plans and then you'll have done the original thing and the new thing too.

The gratuitous negativity of this article is entirely uncalled for.

I would much rather that a device integrate with IFTTT and thus gain connectivity with the hundreds of services which IFTTT supports than for it to attempt to hand-roll integrations with a much smaller subset of services.

In case anyone disputes my claim of gratuitous negativity:

> Some smart home features finally come to OnHub, but using a non-Google ecosystem.

> Its only real differentiators were the funky design, easy setup, and the promise of future updates.

> Now with the IFTTT update, the OnHub finally supports some smart home features—but it's using someone else's ecosystem.

> IFTTT is now the gateway for controlling other things in your house via the OnHub rather than using some kind of Google communication standard like we expected.

> This is all still happening over Wi-Fi, too, so the OnHub is still not using any of the smart-home antennas it shipped with.

Their re-typesetting your articles can just be pure grief, too.

For the last journal article I published, in a journal run by Springer, we submitted a nicely typeset LaTeX article using the template they provided.

Our best theory is that they then copy/pasted the result into Word. It came back to us as a "pre-print" PDF with tons of errors, font changes, etc. We had no good way to compare it to the original other than printing them both out and going through, line by line, looking for discrepancies. There were dozens and dozens of problems. And it was a 70 page article!

After sending them corrections we got to repeat this process 3 times.

And now they charge folks for our article.

Fuck. :(

Er, that's a load of bollocks.
Nonsense. Results have matched extremely closely with polls coming in. Discrepancies with exit polls are small AND exit polls have always favored more ardent supporters and younger supporters.

People who are more enthusiastic about their choices are more likely to do exit polls. Get over it. Hillary Clinton is going to win this nomination because she won (by far) the most votes. That doesn't mean you have to like her, like the way this system works, or want her to be President. I support her out of all the candidates running and I don't like ANY of those things! But let's stop the conspiracy theory nonsense and move on to things that matter.
