Hey, it all depends on the replication factor you set when creating your infrastructure. If you have 3 nodes, a replication factor of 2 and one of the node used for storing data becomes unavailable, then data will be distributed to the third node for example.

The answer is maybe. You need to reduce that text to a set of features that you can pipe into a clustering algorithm, and what’ll really make or break your approach is how you convert the text.

There are two types of features and related clustering algorithms: categorical and numerical. Numerical features are the most commonly supported by out of the box clustering tools (meaning most of the algorithms made easily available to you will expect numerical features). Categorical features can be reduced to binary numerical features, however, though whether that’ll make sense for your data depends: For example, if products have a set of categories they can be sorted into you may want to just use that data along with K-Modes clustering or some other approach that considers categorical features. (Though to me those don’t really seem to produce useful results.)

For short text clustering I’d try an ngram frequency approach, wherein you reduce the text to a set of features describing the frequency of ngrams from, say, unigram up to trigram. You’re attempting to balance the number of features you end up needing to process with the amount of locality information you need to get a useful result. If you end up with far too many features, you could attempt to cull them with an approach such as PCA, but it may not even be necessary.

Do note that I’m only a little above 0 in terms of insight or knowledge, so take my advice with a good heap of salt. Clustering of this data would group together products that are described “similarly”, but “similarly” in this case doesn’t imply the products are in fact similar, but only that they’re described in a similar manner.

You may also want to explore graph clustering over vector clustering, which—while there may be no out of the box solutions readily available—is likely a much better fit for text in general.
Ask HN: How do you deal with abrasive personalities?
Hi,

How do you deal with people who has a know-it-all attitude, a condescending tone, and generally utilize http://www.mnei.nl/schopenhauer/38-stratagems.htm , interjected with emoticons to "tone down" the hostile parts when writing e-mails?

My strategy is to step away for some time to cool down and write a reply in neutral tone, ignoring the hostile parts of the mail, offering solutions and explaining my positions.

This often feels quite unsatisfying, though, and it seems that some part of me longs to write a similarly abrasive retort.
Remember that it only matters if it's an american lobby. When Volkswagen lies and regulators change suddenly the rules to make these lies legal that's not harmful lobbying. When taxi drivers manage to get Uber banned that's not harmful lobbying, and european socialdemocracy is clearly winning.

I'm in Boston, and have yet to encounter a single reader that takes chips. They have started having the slot lately, but it's always taped over or there's a sign telling you not to use it.

A life without direction is like a car careening down the highway without anyone driving. Sure, you could do it, but it can be dangerous to yourselves and others. I've personally been affected by people that have lost direction, and affected others negatively whenever I've been without direction.

For those seeking a reason to why we exist, there is no better reason than to love. Trying to get us off of the planet and explore the universe is love. Taking care of the homeless and hungry is love. Saving some animal species is love. Having dinner with a neighbor and listening to them tell their stories is love. Doing your best at your job to help others grow is love. Calling a family member or friend to see how they are doing is love.

Personally, I believe in loving others and loving my God and trying to do the best I can with what I have. That's my meaning and that's the real truth for me, and it could be for a number of people.

Thanks for the link! I've seen the site before but never thought of testing my screen when I got my new laptop.

It's very difficult to tell, though. The gamma varies between 1.9 and 2.3 (roughly) depending on the angle at which I look at my screen. Every time I sit this will be different.

Opening the article again, it also depends where I look: when tilting my laptop back a bit, the text appears darker (even black if I tilt it far enough) but the exact shade differs: near the bottom of the page it's still greyish while the top part is indeed almost black.

Looking on my phone, it's a lot better readable than on my laptop, probably because I look at my laptop screen at an angle and my phone's colors don't change if you look from the far top or bottom.
I'm not sure what IPFS you're reading about....

redundancy - Any node in the IPFS network can provide the requested data. That's because the identity of the data is with the name, and not the server you got the data from.

fault tolerance - Absolutely does provide fault tolerance. The filesystem is a SHA256 hash in what they call a multihash. Because everything has a hash-name, the file system is a self-certifying filesystem.

Rebalancing - Doesn't make sense. You need more capacity or bandwidth? Add more machines, and pin the data you need.

Access control - file-level encryption is part of the protocol, but not implemented yet. The idea is that GPG can serve as the go-between until ipfs encryption subroutines are implemented.

Versioning - similar, in the spec but not added yet. There will be 2 types of versioning; blockchain and git-style

Who's saying they can't? You don't have to buy into all the conspiracy arguments to believe that this kind of thing is coordinated, probably at her level. And talk is cheap. She can propose next week that we all have to wear funny hats.

There are two questions to ask. 1) Is this a serious effort intended to pass or something else? and 2) If it is something else, how would Feinstein benefit from doing this?

You'd have to be brain dead to think she believes this will pass. So obviously the answer to #1 is "It's not a serious effort"

#2 gets much more interesting. If she's doing this as a stalking horse, why? My money says it's to hold on to blue collar workers come the next election. She'll be first in line talking about how she did all she could to make computers "safer". But that's just my intuition. Politicians have a tendency to propose things their sponsors don't like, that they know will not pass, in order to have both their cake and eat it too. The system has been working like that for decades in both the House and Senate.

The spin in Germany actually is that regulation GENERALLY in the EU is working differently and that few want to change to the US model (less regulation to bring products to the market, but costly court cases). You can study the effects of the differences in many areas.

Your plan is marvellous! It would also have the very positive side effect that I'd only have to interact with other rich people who understand me better. For instance I think I'd be able to make much better smalltalk with the waitress selling me coffee in the morning if she was also rich. And the poor people in the poor people cities would probably also prefer to only mix with their own kind.

Why hasn't anyone thought of this before!

I read `doFollowingRedirects` with an elided comma - that is, 'do, following redirects (as you go)'.

In that context, the function doesn't seem so surprising. If you take a look at the function `Do`[0], you'll notice it calls out to either 'send' or 'doFollowingRedirects' depending on whether it's a request that should 'do, following redirects' or simply 'send a single request'.

Many HTTP libraries I've seen are structured around creating a request object and then handing it to a 'do request' function - the crime here at best seems to be the naming 'doFollowingRedirects', which can be read as 'do the subsequent redirects' which might make it seem odd that the first request was included in the for loop therein.
I think we just need something like a platform where the goal isn't to just "add everyone you know " and "share everything you do". Something like a social blogging site where you only write thoughts of decent quality and only add people you actually tend to talk to? I'd say maybe something like Tumblr, but Tumblr users just seem to emulate Facebook using Tumblr.

Also, the above ideals make the platform difficult for any investor to support, because it is in contrast to the normal "grow!!!!!!!" direction that most startups want to take.

I see no way of understanding the perspective.

Is it because nearly all of the population is in poverty, and surviving be subsistence farming?

Is it because most of the country's income comes from other sources, and only those making $1M or more have an income tax?

Those are two very different scenarios which lead to the same observation, so I can't see how you can draw a single perspective out of it.

Since it is proprietary software do you have any good resources how to get this kind of knowledge (besides to be car-mechanic and access to expensive software and manuals)?

Story behind: I know a few stories where guys with luxury cars had an issues with electronics and payed a insane money for troubleshooting in service station. Unfortunately they weren't able to solve it quickly and within reasonable budget. They just simply order new unit and replace it.

On the other hand, there is small group of guys who specialize on control units. They are "cheaper" then authorized car-stations but still have great income and work for next 6 months. What is untold...i am not sure from where they have got required knowledge and information.
Sorry that I'm late to this thread!

The first question appears to have been answered by others but I will add that even though Infinit is currently closed source, you can build your infrastructure without using the Hub. The Hub is just in place to make it easy to fetch user public keys, network and volume descriptors and endpoints at runtime. You can do this manually using the CLI (--export/--import instead of --push/--fetch).

One observation about that essay:

When was this era when people "relied on established, peer-reviewed literature"?

I mean, I've been reading articles from the 1940s and 1950s where people cite corporate publications, text books, government publications, etc. It therefore can't be the that era.

Really, there is no option anywhere to delete. I did get it to stop pulling email down automatically and when opened.

I disagree, the curated feed sucks and spending time on facebook proves it.
Yup, Dutch media it was less bad but still not great.

Instead of saying it was a 'claim', or preferably not writing anything about this scam, they wrote 'Wright admits he's Satoshi' in the title.

This 'admitting' implies everyone thought he was Satoshi, and he confirmed it. When in reality, everyone thinks he's definitely not it, and he claimed it without proof.

Then in the article they make completely false claims about him signing messages he didn't etc. It's really sad, there wasn't a hint of skepticism that was present in the Economist which I thought was poor itself already.

The PC industry needs to evolve or get ready for extinction
If the compiler can prove that an object is final and immutable and is never used in any other context that requires reference semantics, it could potentially use that optimization.

But then you also need data structures that can be parameterized to store such value objects as values. Otherwise you're back to square one.
So, it is OK, to violate the rights of the people in a "transparent" way?

...and more. I think that still falls under "casual research" ... besides which, implementers and promoters should be doing more than casual research anyway. The fact that the Gluster documentation sucks doesn't change that. Plenty of others have implemented such end-to-end encryption as well, and the trend is already increasing. (I find that quite gratifying BTW since I felt like a lone voice in the wilderness when I was writing about the importance of keeping keys on the clients five-plus years ago.) What they present as a differentiator is very much a me-too nowadays so, again, it calls their other claims of originality or uniqueness into question.

Only reasonable if 'defensive driving' is a curse word in your dictionary. Otherwise it makes sense to wait a bit and see if you can detect something too.

And LiDAR can see through glass of a car in front, or just over its top (the sensor bump of the car in front down' cover much of you car's view when cars are separated by several car lengths).
