Others already noted - it's backwards-compatible. But it's actually even a bit easier than that for an all-Go project. On Ubuntu, the easiest way to have go installed is to use gvm ( https://github.com/moovweb/gvm ).

Which means you do something like:

$ gvm install go1.7
$ gvm use go1.7
$ go build myproj
Errors? Fix them - and in the meantime, just switch back:
$ gvm use go1.6
$ go build myproj

It's impressively painless. I went from go1.4 to 1.6 without having to change a single line of code -- but the 'go vet' tool got better, so when I re-ran it, it pointed out a few things that I then fixed. The compile didn't break without them, notably.

Why are you so obsessed with his personal life? Are you hoping you can neatly fit his life experiences into a box you call 'privilege' and then dismiss everything he has to say without argument? That sort of behavior is mostly frowned upon around here.
This is true, however the generating stations are located much further away and have a smaller impact on smog in cities.
I got myself an Acer ES1-111, snapped out the 2G DDR3L module and put in a 4G one. It's priced like a Chromebook but has a full keyboard (a lot of my Emacs stuff uses the "super" key). Sure the eMMC space is not large and you won't see me lugging my music collection in it (or crunching large datasets), but for light development (I do mostly Python/Django) it's just fine. And for USD 200, I won't be devastated if it's damaged.

Not really comparable to a high-spec Chromebook, but does the job.

> ABP already is part of the dark side with their "acceptable ads." It boggles the mind why a program whose sole purpose is to block ads would not do so out of the box.

I actually like the acceptable ads system. I don't inherently object to advertising (content has to be paid for somehow, and I'd rather pay with my attention than with my money). I just object to invasive or distracting ads, and ABP does block those.

Google Search ads, for example, are fine by me.
> If you were to implement the Fair Tax, which includes a stipend for basic needs, you'd get bipartisan support as well.

No, you wouldn't. Flat tax proposals and national sales tax proposals like the "FairTax", have support almost exclusively on the right (and each particular such proposal has minority support on the right.) You won't get bipartisan support for any of them.
These publishers are just signalling that their content isn't relevant. It's not "must-read" content, but features and editorials and other ways they try to differentiate themselves as an infotainment source. Actual news is posted without ads - by real people in comment threads, on social media, and at non-paywalled news sites & blogs. Don't see them as devils blocking you from content; see them as angels freeing you from having your time wasted with unimportant content.
That looks like a strangely self-limiting argument.

No one in their right mind would argue that Canada can't produce a company that has global reach, but that consists of a founder that lives in Canada, and a UI programmer that lives in Romania. It doesn't seem to me that those are the examples that Canada is lacking.

It seems perfectly reasonable, however, to argue that Canada doesn't have the investment ecosystem that is capable of creating a <insert your favorite company whose founders chose rich rather than King> on the same scale as the Bay Area - but it doesn't seem like that's the example you are trying to set anyway.

Well, maybe the purpose of that particular program is to block awful, obstructive, auto-playing ads, but allow sensible levels of advertising to support web sites.
If you're seeing screen tearing, specifically when you see horizontal movement, then odds are it's the graphics card and drivers... If you're using a beefier graphics chipset, it works better.

About the only time I ever actually notice advertising is when some site sets up an aggressive anti-adblock or airs 2 minutes of dead air where an ad spot would have gone.

That doesn't seem like just marketing for the Audi. It seems like the car is seriously intended for individuals who may be attacked, politicians, very rich/powerful people in unsafe areas. It's not for your grandparents to drive to church on Sundays. It looks like most people buying it are politicians and diplomats. The security features are also an upgrade that costs like $600k.

It has a built in "patented emergency exit system, a fire extinguishing system and an emergency fresh air system" [0] and the windows on the standard model can't even be opened/closed. And get this, that emergency exit system will blow the freaking doors off the car so you can exit.

"If the doors can no longer be opened normally, an Audi-patented pyrotechnic system simply blows apart the joins between the doors and the vehicle body and you walk out without even grabbing the door latch." [1]

This Tesla is being pushed as helping people deal with air pollution, but "it can withstand a bioweapon attack! For real!". That Audi is literally for people who might drive over an IED, or get pulled over by a jeep full of people with machine guns.

Upwork’s New Pricing: A Message from the CEO
Matrix Factorization
> George Galloway, who is now a leftwing mayoral candidate, came and addressed the room. “What does Uber give you except grief?” he asked. “Because we know what you give Uber, which are profits that are beyond the dreams of avarice.” When Galloway left, I followed him out. Parked close around the hall, there were Toyota Priuses and Mercedes E Classes, their private hire stickers showing in their rear windscreens. I opened my app. The screen showed empty streets where those cars should have been. But I didn’t have to worry. A vehicle came into view. My Uber was two minutes away.

> offer finer granularity than page allocations

How the fuck would that work? Today, the page table is cached in a TLB and modern Intel processors only have 1024 entries!

If you have a new entry in the page table for every malloc, dereferencing virtual memory will require a page walk for pretty much every memory access. You can't cache millions of entries.
Apologies if that came across as a personal attack, just a general comment on the expectations of a very early stage CTO. To be clear I don't think your messaging is off, just that that is one of the reasons tech startups aren't able to hire, ie they don't know how to sell the opportunity.

However, if the OP is accurate it sounds like you/your organization went through at least a period of disorganization.

You deserve a ton of credit for what sounds like a sane approach to technology and including compensation upfront.
> No one is stealing from you, they are stealing from a supermarket

Yes, well they're stealing from someone, aren't they? But of course, it's ok if someone steals from the heartless grocery store owner, isn't it? I feel as if you would have a different opinion if anybody was allowed to walk into your house without your permission and ransack your fridge (and anything else they felt that they "need").

The moral problem with theft isn't that it is illegal. The problem is that one person expended their own personal resources to create the good. The person has spent their own time, money, and/or intelligence to create some good that now has value. The thief, who has expended zero effort to create nothing, takes the fruit of the producer's labor for no work, on the basis of his "need". What kind of society does this produce, where you can take things from others solely on your basis of need?

You seem to be making the cliche mistake of associating morality with need. I hope one day you don't need to learn this isn't always correlated...
Finally! It was obvious that something like this needed to exist, and I think this is the most elegant solution.

I'm extremely excited about it, I really hope this takes off.

Probably in the future there will also be a system that allows websites with premium content make money the same way(some sort of universal paywall with one convenient payment method). People will end up paying $10 per month for access to a network of premium websites.

I think that it is a good thing, because incentives will align in a way that encourages websites to focus on producing high quality content instead of clickbait and trying to manipulate people's attention.
Comparing laptops to tablets/phones is a bit silly though.

>It's not snobbery, no one is looking down [well few are] on Beckham saying "oh he's only working class"

On Beckham no. On working class people but not Beckham-rich, many.

I've had some experience with BBC people.

All the technicians and lower level staff were working class.

All the journalists were public school people (in UK, "public school" actually means: expensive prestigious school).

They didn't seem to have any social connection, didn't even eat all together at the same table at the end of work -- each group had their own table. And I'm not talking famous journalists and tv-stars snubbing mere mortals: it was just actual run of the mill reporters and journalists.

You don't get this behavior in where I come from.

I was also surprised to find out that from Monty Python to Mr. Bean (R.A), and Hugh Laurie, Fry, etc, almost all famous TV comedians (at least up to the 90s) in Britain were public school people -- and all of these were specifically Cambridge and Oxford. Which shows what it took to be on TV back in the day. You don't get that in the US either.

Effectiveness of this varies by state or region. For instance, when I was in the Bay Area 10 years ago and looked into this, PG&E would let your electricity bill get to 0, but wouldn't let you go into rebate territory. They just wouldn't pay you for the additional electricity generated. I think other states/utilities have different options.

Most solar quotes take this into consideration, and quote you for enough solar to get into the minimum bill for your region (most utilities have a few hundred Kwh you can use per month at an obscenely low rate, and then it ramps up from there--solar is quoted so that you'll always stay within that cheapest range.)

For my current house in Austin, I'm still interested in solar, but it was both more cost-effective and had a shorter payback time to re-insulate to R36 in the attic and redo our horrible system (which had no ducts at all--agh, stupid 1956 house) than it was to do solar at the time.
The problem has already occurred, at least for the owner who lost the goods.

Ah. We say housemates to mean that, and roommates to mean if you are actually sharing a room (which wouldn't be likely).
We'll have to agree to disagree. And as I say, step outside your bubble. The vast vast majority of the population reject basic income, in favour of a meritocracy, where the harder you work, the more money you can earn.

Confiscating money from everyone, and then distributing it equally amongst the population (Regardless of whether they need it or deserve it) doesn't sit very well with people.
Isn't that how conversations work though? At least, I know most of mine work that way. Oh, hey! That reminds me of something sort of related...
The typical American median household income is $51k.

Spending $40,000 of that on "clean energy" so that they can "feel better" is well outside of the typical person's price range. Even $7000 would be cost-prohibitive, especially if they're paying or saving up for their kids.

A cold can of beer also makes you feel better. Its a hell of a lot cheaper too. The answer for the typical American is to wait for utility-scale to build Solar out for them.

When the city as a whole notices that solar is cheaper than running peaker plants or whatever, then the city / municipality can purchase an entire field of solar (AND the energy storage needed to make it useful) and give it out for the whole town.

And in the mean time, you can drink your beer on the porch while you wait for progress to be made.
It's not totally unsubstantiated, Tesla did post this: https://www.teslamotors.com/blog/putting-tesla-hepa-filter-a.... Of course you should have a healthy degree of skepticism regarding tests Tesla did itself and maybe the numbers are massaged a little, but I doubt they'd straight-up lie. It seems like this test would be pretty easy to replicate by an independent source too, if someone wanted to try.

Edit: I did not see that there's already an entire HN discussion thread about this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11617945 which discuss other possible weaknesses. Still, even with the usual HN nitpicking, I think it comes out pretty good.

more pixels requires more light, even on the same size display... So a 4K display the same size as a 1080p display will require 2-3x the light behind the display... I don't recall the exact amount extra, but it's not insignificant.. let alone the processing power to push those extra pixels.
Slightly OT, but the literate presentation was nice. Any particular tool or technique you used for that?

>- the license plate thing as far as I know is only in Beijing where they're really desperate to do anything

Beijing has a population of over 21 million, and also a major concentration of the kinds of demographics that Tesla currently targets best. And I've seen similar measures at least discussed in other cities, because the problem truly is desperate and it's not getting any better. I don't think that odd/even exactly is going to be implemented in general, if only because it can be economically self-defeating, enforcement is very hard, etc., but there seem to be good odds that politicians will seek ways to internalize the costs of anything that contributes to air pollution. And politics being politics, it also would not be surprising if inordinate (and inefficient) pressure falls on things that are very visible to the common citizen and have less backing from entrenched interests, even if a bigger problem comes from something farther away.

Vehicles are a clear target, particularly once it's no longer a zero-sum as more and more practical alternatives start to exist. Again, only talking politics here not whether it's necessarily the best place for governments to focus on because governments have a regrettable history of not simply doing the most rational thing. Politics can work the other way too of course (China would still prefer to be making everything internally and gaining access/control of all IP rather then importing), but I can see why Tesla might consider this an area that could be a significant central plank and competitive advantage for them in the near term vs traditional car makers.
I think his conclusion is valid; compilers can now handle register assignment and other boilerplate pretty well (Metal does this superbly and SPIR-V seems very good).

My only qualm is that he treats these aspects that he deems outdated as unnecessary, which is just not true. For a long time there was no other alternative. Introducing High Level languages for programmable shading was a huge deal and it actually decreased a lot of complexity. In reality it simplified a lot of stuff that was quite difficult before GLSL/HLSL came along.

He seems to be making some kind of rallying call for change but the next generation is already here. We'll have to keep supporting that old approach for a while longer but the problem really has been solved (to some extent).

Also, old person rant: "Back in my day, we only had 8 register combiners and 4 blend states. And we liked it!"

Pricing won't go up because theft won't go up. Think through this whole process the way the judge did.

So now a homeless guy reads "Food is free if you're hungry!". He goes... really?? Walks into store. Right away, the store security is eyeballing him, because he's homeless, and the store owner reads the news, too. So now the homeless guy has a decision: since he's being watched even closer now, does he give up early, or make a brazen attempt? He makes the attempt... now the security catches him. "I'm hungry!" he says. "Too bad", security says. They take the food back and call the cops. One court case later, the guy is released. The store still has their goods.

There is plenty of recourse to cover theft (that which already exists and resulted in the guy getting caught the first time), food is not free, insurance doesn't go up. And pricing is already adjusted to offset theft, like I mentioned in another thread. The effect on the bottom-line for markets is nearly zero. Everything is the same as before this judgement, except the prison isn't full of homeless people who can't pay their fines.

Like someone else mentioned, either homeless people will be banned from stores, or they will be scrutinized more, and outdoor markets may retain some new form of controls or increased security. Or their culture will simply adapt to this new way of life, since not every person who can steal will steal (a weird idea for the US, but many foreign cultures work this way).

But there will not be roving gangs of hungry homeless trampling children and busting down stores. Business will not decline from the ravages of the hungry. And in a weird twist of the judgment, if they stole to have food, they'd no longer be hungry, and therefore would be committing crimes again. The judgement's language is very specific about the nature in which this took place and what it means.
Illegal to turn off the phone before the TSA checkpoint?
I suggest approaching anomaly detection in ways to get good answers to the nine challenges in my post and any additional important challenges.

What you are suggesting may be related to what I suggested in my post

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11440459

There for the data, both historical and new, we have only some discrete cases and only a few thousand or so of those. And in that example there was data on both healthy and sick. So, we could go fairly directly to the classic Neyman-Pearson result as in the derivations there in that post. But that example was quite special.

Classification seems usually to be for only some modest number of discrete cases, "modest" enough that we can get, store, and manipulate data on all the cases in advance (supervised) and before starting to detect anomalies. For data on several variables, the number of cases stands to grow as an exponential in the number of variables, say, as in the 1000^20 for 20 variables in my post above.

Another approach is to do some work with nearest neighbors, and for that with some commonly justified assumptions there is a way to set and get a desired false alarm rate and get some good things about detection rate.

Again, I see little choice but to see much of anomaly detection as part of statistical hypothesis testing.
Come on, if it were that easy we wouldn't have so many security bugs that can be directly traced to some memory corruption issue.

Do you think that for example the Firefox developers are either too stupid to do it right or that they just don't care about security or maybe that it's a harder problem than you claim it to be.
