It is rather shocking that the propaganda defeats peoples willingness to investigate the truth for themselves - especially with regards to a topic that is, quite literally, extraordinarily inflammatory. Europe, having suffered two major world wars as a result of countries thinking they should just intervene whenever/wherever/for whatever reason, has reason to be cautious whenever someone starts a fire in the Balkans. American nationalists attempting to defend their country's honor don't seem to factor in this key value in their analysis: European leaders have learned to be cautious when it comes to making a case for multi-national warfare. America, having gone into the great dark void it current inhabits, for the most part alone (albeit with a collection of puppet states for the sake of keeping up appearances), seems all too boisterous when it comes to just sending military resources and assets across multiple borders.

This was all factored into place when Europe responded - before the US - to the Bosnian crisis. Very definitely, mistakes were made - but the conflagration was defused and there is now - relatively speaking - a peace in the area. Bosnia could've been Europes' Syria/(Israel,Palestine). However, it isn't today - and the reason for this is the cool headedness of European leadership. Not the arrogant bragadocio of American militarism.

I think my issue was, that there is already so much gender segregation online and in real-life, that bringing to a gender-neutral place such as HN seemed unwarranted.

Immediately following the part you quote (my emphasis)

Well, as it turns out, thanks to the software-eating-
the-world thing and the Internet of Things we happen to be
amassing *vast quantities* of all sorts of data [...] The
demand for systems that are capable of storing and
retrieving temporal data on an *ever increasing scale*
necessitates systems that are specifically designed for
this purpose.

Strongly implying the big deal is the need to scale?
I think the big deal is allegedly "we now have so much data that we have a use for distributed databases with high performance", which allows them to go on and say "and our big deal is that we've built a high-performance distributed database tuned especially for time series".

I only noticed it because I was shocked that there was an actual comprehensible value proposition in a blogpost about a NoSQL product.

Mentioned as not being a troll for "telling the truth"...

Right, because "truth" is a completely not subjective concept.

Aka: "it's only trolling when I disagree with the opinions being expressed"
I could not find such a list. Yet I am sure a lot of us have some sort of file like this lying around in some projects. It would be great to consolidate - it's a pain to build these lists.
Whether to display pricing on the website is something we debated in the past, and continue to debate. (Your comment may wake up the debate for me.)

Pricing for analytics services (in the marketplace) is all over the map. Google picked $150K/year as the price for GA Premium because that's the low end of an Adobe Analytics contract, who is the market leader. We're typically cheaper than existing Adobe/GA contracts. Non-competitive "event analytics" companies like MixPanel and Heap have variable per-event pricing that would break the bank for the customers we serve. We have a bit of an aversion to per-event pricing because it feels like "punishing customers for success".

Meanwhile, per seat pricing, though attractive on the surface and popular in the SaaS segment, has several concerns in our space. First, we want customers to feel free to hand out access to our platform: part of our value proposition is democratizing access to analytics data. So we don't want "stingy seat quotas" typical with tools like Salesforce. Second, for an analytics tool, seats are a bit easier to "hack" for a pricing model -- though our dashboards can be customized per user, a single shared account can access all the data. Meanwhile, our costs don't scale with seats, but with site traffic/users instead.

For these reasons, and more, we've settled on "tiered pricing". Roughly speaking, our service is offered in three tiers. Each tier supports a larger class of site (more monthly uniques), which also bestows more features (e.g. more data retention in higher tiers). To work within the budget constraints of some companies, we will discount tiers while removing cost-affecting features, e.g. maybe you are in the highest class of site, but we disable API access and limit data retention. Because this is a tad more complex than a pricing page could express easily, and also because we think the value of the product comes through best in a guided demo, we made the decision to hide pricing and instead responsively provide demos on-demand.

So, the tl;dr is, pricing, and the display of it, is definitely something we think about, and we have (IMO valid) reasons for not displaying pricing right now, but you make a fair point: if Musk can price his rockets publicly, maybe we can figure something out, too :)
Visiting with Local Hobbyists on DC Drone Day
I've always found it quite curious that computer human interfaces have always focused on the noun/verb proposition of describing data, and not the time/place. Time is the only true constant in the universe, and yet computers are set up to track and control it, seemingly, as a second thought.

Imagine if instead of having files/folders to (teach,confuse) Grandma, we simply had a time-based system of references. If Time was a principle unit of information that a user was required to understand as an abstract concept, I feel that it would result in far better user interfaces.

We can see this in the Music-making world, where Time is the most significant domain over which a Musician exerts control. A DAW-like interface for managing events seems to me to be quite intuitive - for so many other non-musical applications - that its almost extraordinary that someone hasn't built an email system, or accounting system, or a graphical-design system, of applications, oriented around this aspect. (Of course, they are out there - but it seems that Time management makes the dividing line between "professional" and "dilettante" users rather thick...)

In this case I think there was a practical purpose behind the retrieval - the body was preventing further exploration of the system. Well of course the sentiment makes sense, and the Finnish have a long cultural history with this form of retrieval, but don't discount the practicality of it. Dead bodies really stink up the place something foul.

If the problem is that your finger hides the drawing, why would you not just make a "normal" drawing app with an offset cursor then? This seems like an odd fix for the problem.

Good luck with it though. I eagerly await the day I can have a true "digital sketchbook" in my pocket, so I'm always interested to see people come up with new ideas in this area.

It's just habit. I stopped eating breakfast in primary school and always preferred doing sports in the morning. Currently doing fasted weightlifting/cardio 5x a week first thing in the morning.

I'm currently doing only one big meal a day for lunch so technically that's fasting since 2pm the previous day.
Yeah essentially, I meant that in the sense of innovating how people access MRI scans and the data associated with them.
I had to google this "ve". At first I thought that you were mimicking a German accent, which did not make sense here.
In this case state of access control is stored along with code/secrets. The problem is that ACLs, secrets themselves and code change independently of each other. This only works if you assume no downgrading and homogeneous versioning across all instances.

You're welcome, not often that MRI related posts come up so it is nice to share this side of what I do.

I think certainly there is room for it and I know there have been some recent entrants into the field which consider themselves MRI R&D. Up to this point though they are mostly bring quite secretive about what they are working on. I think though with the right funding and some smart cash behind a team that knows the space there is room to make big changes and drive price down competitively.

One example of a team in this space is Magnetica [1] who are working on smaller (physically) MRI systems for extremity imaging. (I know them through the university and my supervisor is CTO but I have no personal stake in the company otherwise)

There is 'the' MRI conference on this week in Singapore (ISMRM for those interested) which may result in some MRI related press in the coming days. Not sure where to look for it though as unfortunately the conference content is member only at this point.

Indeed. The first paragraph:

> That trolling is a shameful thing, and that no one of sense would accept to be called ‘troll’, all are agreed

No they are not. There are many smart, funny trolls who are quite happy to accept the label. I can understand the media getting confused between actual creative trolling and being particularly mean, but I'd expect more out of an academic publication.
> On one hand, this invention will keep a lot of people from making the very common mistake of getting ink they don't like and can't remove.

Not sure that it will change an often spur of the moment, possibly rebellious or first love, decision. When asked the question do you want it in permanent ink I still think the answer will be mostly yes.

You are probably a person who has been online for a long time, and seen a lot. You have expectations that are not similar to the majority of FB users. They are mostly young people, or poor, or from poor countries who only have a cheap Android phone, no laptop, don't know what Twitter is and they discover Facebook for the first time. They find uses for it without having any expectations (like, "If i want trending topics I'll go to Twitter").

You probably use FB for one hour per month because it's the most convenient way to catch up with your friends and family and they spend 4 hours per day because for them the internet is Facebook. FB uses statistics to become better for them, not for you.
Hindsight is 20:20 of course, backseat driver etc. but if the on-board systems detected a bad rotation, then started a burn to correct it, presumably it could have been possible to detect that the burn was not "helping" during the burn? And halted the burn? The thrusters aren't usually that powerful, so the erroneous death-spin probably took a fair while to spin up. Even if the sensors were wrong, if you're a computer trying to get variable 'X' into a range, and you apply control 'Y', but 'X' moves further and further away, let go of the controls and ask ask an adult help!

I agree that optimizing and reducing water consumption will alleviate water shortages. But I do wonder: given how the population of the US southwest is growing every year, how long can water optimization last? Today, California has 38 million residents, and by 2050 is projected to reach 60 million. Will optimization be enough to provide water for 20 million additional inhabitants? If the population keeps growing, will optimization be enough in the year 2100? And onwards?

After a certain point it's not possible optimize any more and new water sources are needed.
I understood this beginning in my fifth-grade math class, when I started bringing in books to hold in my lap and read while the rest of the class did busy work. The teacher had created 'packets' of repetitive worksheets and students were supposed to collect them and fill them out, then she would sit at her desk the entire period and grade them. You got a star by your name on a wall chart for each packet you completed. I got the first packet to sit on my desk as a prop, but never wrote on it. That was the whole class, even as a child I recognized this had to be the dullest and laziest teacher ever. I tuned out and read some great books instead. The math wasn't that hard and I did okay on my tests.

The fun part was several months later when the students began to notice that while everyone had dozens of stars by their names, one student had none at all. One of the other students raised their hand and asked her about it in front of everyone else (I was amazed the teacher had never noticed). She was upset and berated me about it in front of the class, then sent me to the Principal's office. I knew instinctively that she was totally fucked for being so clueless, and I happily explained exactly what I did to the Principal and later to my parents. I wasn't in trouble and I knew it. About a week later a new teacher was brought in and she was great, she interacted with the class and I started participating because class was once again more interesting. I don't know how a teacher that bad ever got hired, but at least the school did the right thing later.

The examples where this happens have always seemed fairly weak to me. How many of the grave errors, not just where it's the wrong type of animal or container but actually thinking it's radically different, survive an application of Gaussian blur? Furthermore self-driving cars are a combination of signals; you are going to need to simultaneously fool both LIDAR and cameras.

On top of that you are going need to fool them over multiple frames, while the sensors get a different angle on the subject as the car moves. For example in the first Deep Q-learning paper, "Playing Atari with Deep Reinforcement Learning"[0], they use four frames in sequence. That was at the end of 2013.

I don't think anyone will be able to come up with a serious example that fools multiple sensors over multiple frame as the sensors are moving. Even if they do then inducing an unnecessary emergency stopping situation is still not the same as getting the car to drive into a group of people. Even if fooled in some circumstances the cars will still be safer than most human drivers and still have a massive utilitarian moral case in relation to human deaths, on top of the economic case, to be used.

The fooling of networks is still an interesting thing, but it's been overplayed to my mind and is not particularly more interesting than someone being fooled for a split second into thinking a hat stand with a coat and hat on it is a person when they first see it out of the corner of their eye.

Unfortunately virtually every developed country has raised the age of retirement to 69 or higher, and it's generally accepted that in 30 years when I retire, there will be nothing in the communal pot, so I better save my own, as well as paying into the pot so the people before me can spend it.

Sure but this IMO is greatly countered by the fact that because you don't have to buy the music you get to listen to way more music.

There are a lot of music that you would love but you aren't listening to because you don't know it exist. The chances of you experiencing that is bigger if you have access to more music without having to buy it.

I am very skeptical about this, because when tattoo ink fades, it accumulates inside the lymphatic system, it is not flushed out of the body.

Black ink, for example, colors the lymph nodes within the area of the tatoo completely black. Black ink is made out of soot which often contains polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, a carzinogen.

So if they say their product is "designed to break down after a year" and "By using smaller molecules, we’ve encapsulated them inside this spherical structure that’s big enough that your immune system doesn’t take it away. But when you remove it, it essentially eats away one of the components and the dye molecules are flushed out", i really wonder if this could quickly develop into a real health problem.

Smaller molecules really sound like nano particles and since tattoo dye is not flushed out of your body, i tend to assume those nano particles will accumulate inside the lymphatic system. And what about that "spherical structure" stuff, what is it made of? And that "removal solution" they talk about on their website, the symbol next to it looks like its also tattoed into the skin.
