I don't know about videos but I used spark in my last job to solve problems of "we want to run this linear algebra calculation on x00000 user profiles and have it not take forever". For me the big selling point is it lets you write code that can be read as ordinary Scala but which runs on a cluster. As much as anything else it's practical to get the statistician to review the code and say "yes, that is implementing the calculation I asked you to implement" in a way that wouldn't be practical with more "manual" approaches to running calculations in parallel on a cluster.

I somehow was reading Sam Harris as Arron Harris (YC partner, hosts a podcast related to startups). He also speaks nicely.
I agree, a silence seems to imply the speaker has a level of confidence in what they are talking about, wheres "umms" sound a bit more like they are making it up as they go along. Obviously this is a subjective opinion, and too long a pause will seems strange.
No what I think is happening is this:

- Apple is investing more in ancillary services (iCloud, Siri, Maps, new Arm processors, etc)

- More investment into manufacturers to get the latest tech (retina, etc)

- Some of it is lacking focus and spending a lot of "R&D" money in irrelevant stuff (like most big companies do)
Verbal sparring is nothing to be afraid of or to shy away from, we're adults and are staying within the guidelines here. It is known for the frequent use of metaphor. Examples of this can be found up-thread in, well, your rather colorful comments about severed limbs and heads popping off! Amusing yes, but not convincing. But not amusing enough to revisit months later - better and healthier to let it go and move on, thanks.

I've provided numerous facts and backed them up with links to sources. That is a substantial transfer of information which you didn't acknowledge. What does all that great security you describe mean for all those people not getting updates? It is a real problem.

You go on to say "That is to say, unless you purposely go very far out of your way to install custom system software that deliberately weakens critical Android security features -thus putting your Android device pretty squarely in the realm of PC-level security-, then there is no software in the Play Store that will take over your Android device." The Viking Horde malware is bad enough with the ads popping up and dangerous links appearing, whether this is 'safely' sandboxed on a vanilla install or completely taking over a rooted devices is of little significance to me. I don't want ANY of it.

I'd like a secure messaging app that can be installed on a more hardened version of Android like CopperheadOS, which does not require the constant 'phoning home' to Google that most Android phones do. Remote install capability via Google Play is huge red flag and a deal breaker for me, but I understand Moxie intends to target more mainstream users and has to make compromises to serve them.

A fair number of Android users like me are more concerned about the mass surveillance practices of advertisers such as Google than we are about the full-on 'tinfoil hat' NSA stuff. I don't like either, but the corporations are more worrying because they're attracting the better workforce with their higher pay and as a result are more effective. We want Signal to protect us from Google, not the NSA.

What initially made me post my first reply to your initial comment was that I saw it was attracting down-votes and I thought you put some effort into it and made some sound points, so I upvoted and replied. This thread has probably run it's course at this point by my email is in my profile if you have anything else to add.

This destroys one of the potential benefits of comments -- which is to open up what might be closed communities. Academic disciplines can at times turn into echo chambers.

But there is the rub: if you make comments open, then you will will probably be flooded with. If you close them up, then fail to get the benefits of openness.

I always understand entanglement as 'cannot be factored'. It's really just that mathematical and simple.

Say there are particles a and b that can be in states 1 or 2

entangled: a1 * b2 - a2 * b1, vs
not entangled: (a1+a2)*(b1+b2)

So, when you apply a measurement operator on the state of particle a, you know something about particle b in the entangled case.

Schrodinger said: "the best possible knowledge of the whole doesn't necessarily include the best possible knowledge of the parts." An entangled state should be treated as a whole, and not a sum of parts, kind of like how a book is treated as a continuous story, not a sum of letters.
Apple might be viewed as a premium brand compared to Samsung/Moto/Lenovo/HP

Samsung is in #2 spot in global brand valuation. Google, Microsoft, and Verizon round out top 5.

I would use Electron which I have developed for music using WebMIDI for Windows, Linux and Mac. It's fast as a native app, low latency.
Unfortunately this is par for the course for CNN.
It would help, but it isn't sufficient.

I had a very good CS degree in the mid-90's.

We got to use Pascal, C, C++, Prolog, Caml Light, Smalltalk, Oberon(-2), Component Pascal, Lisp, SQL, PL/SQL, x86 ASM, MIPS ASM, Java, across the 5 years it used to take (nowadays thanks to Bologna is no longer the case).

It doesn't mean we got to use many of those languages afterwards.

But Lisp is a special case, if Lisp Workstations hadn't failed in the market or if Sun and others hadn't picked UNIX as their Workstation OS, maybe it would be different IT world, in spite of all DSLs I was referring to.
Sounds good except for only using microtransactions for voting (it is also easy to inflate your own votes).

I'd prefer to see something closer to a federated system for voting / popularity tracking (however unlikely it may be). To detect spam bots and similar manipulation methods you need trusted humans to filter out the bad votes by spotting the trends.

And being able to see the differences in average votes between various voting clusters (different sets of users) would probably be an improvement (through seeing the varying rankings across servers with different userbases).
And that's just the human average, which isn't actually representative of anything because the 'average driver' does not exist. I don't have any statistics but I'm pretty sure the majority of accidents/incidents are distributed over a small minority of drivers. I remember a recent article [1] about some statiscal research into self-driving cars that indicated that at least 275 million miles of autonomous driving, in all conditions, without serious accidents, are needed to conclusively prove that they are safer than human drivers.

Statistics are always difficult and hard to translate to conclusions, but in the case of autonomous cars it seems like advocates really willing to bend them to the extreme to make a point about how autonomous cars will be safer than humans, even though it's impossible to say anything sensible about that except that 'the average driver' as a goal for safety seems like a very bad target to aim at.

No, there are no squares and circles, and no cakes. It isn't simpler an there's no insight to be gained by thinking about the cakes and squares and circles.

Much better learning about what is. For example, to get some intuition for the things you can't directly observe try considering what's going on in the "simple" act of water drop forming and detaching.

>Unless you change the only fundamental aspects of owning a car (driving, parking, and maintenance), all you're doing is polishing a turd.

I guess the real disruption in the automotive sector would be a focus on mobility instead of owning a car. Have a smartphone app where you could call a shared car from wherever you are whenever you wanted. It appears 10m later, takes you to your destination and then goes back into the pool.

At least in the big cities, a whole lot of people would forgo car ownership if such a service was available.

I think median Software Engineer Salary also followed hockey stick graph over last couple of years, as well as CA real estate prices, so it isn't that clear that Apple grew headcount at all.
When iPhone came out there was no app store nor 3rd party apps; when apps arrived they had no push notifications; icloud didn't exist and so on. Products become exponentially more complex, requiring proportional growth in R&D. There may even be tax incentives to maximize R&D spending.

Smart home / smart appliances would be a much more logical step for Apple as it'd be much closer to their area of expertise in electronics.
Unlike with iPod and iPhone, there's at least one company that is already doing all the right and hard things around cars - Tesla.

TVs, kitchen appliances, even lights are much better understood and researched. Technology is there, safety/regulatory barriers are lower than with cars, consumer demand is pretty obvious. Yet existing manufacturers releasing product after product with laughable design and usability. Just like used to be the case with Nokia and Windows smartphones.
The next step for CarPlay might be more than just an iPad-sized screen, it could be the entire dashboard and Apple might have a thing to say about the interior design of cars.

I think a company going from zero to massively produced and heavily scrutinised car in one step is too big a jump without acquiring someone along the way or signing up a existing player.

Why don't you just make low power consumption a permanent feature?
Since there was talk about Apple Watch, there also was a lack of wow effect people had expected from it. Considering Apple’s human power, there is something going that takes time. Might be a car, might be something else. Smartphones have plateaued, so they’ve been working on something greater long before growth had slowed down. Time will show.

What will be important when you choose a pcb manufacturer
Hello everyone, I'm the COO in PCBWay company.
Recently we are improving our service,
No matter whether we ever cooperation or not, I sincerely hope you can give us some meaningful suggestions.

1. If you have bought our board, any suggestions for our boards?
2. If you bought from other place, where interest you?

For example: The premise here is of acceptable quality

Board price?
Delivery Time?
PCB file format compatibility?
The shipping ways and freight?
Whether it is a professional factory?
Payment ways?
Transaction security?
Promotions?
After-sale guarantee?
communication?
Third-party certification, such as?

Finally, if there is something wrong with boards or service, please contact official PCBWay website, by the way, do you suggest pcb Assembly company?
Thank you very much for your support.

The tone of the press release is very strange. There's no acknowledgement of how much trouble the company is in, no acknowledgment of the loss of confidence on the part of their key distribution partner (Walgreens), no acknowledgement of the fact that they need to be more open and transparent, no acknowledgment that the CEO is under investigation and might be banned from the industry, and no hint of contrition for the missteps that took them to this point. Sunny Balwani has "retired" with a glowing testimonial from the board.

Admitting you have a problem is the first step in fixing the problem. Theranos have yet to admit that they have a problem. I find it astonishing that, despite their regulatory challenges, they haven't found someone with a background at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to join their Board.

If Theranos were a public company, I suspect Holmes would have been ousted by now. At the very least, she should step back and appoint an interim CEO (who has experience in this sector) until the ban question is resolved. Refusing to do so lends credence to the accusation that she is incompetent.

Have you ever been to a website that has everything?
It finds any search query (e.g. "download _something_") you type.

However, when you try to actually download what you need, it asks for registration and redirects you to other pages keeping you in a loop.

Such websites never give you to download what you searched, because they don't have anything.

Have you ever wondered why they are in the top google search results?

Maybe google fraud detection algorithms are weak? I don't think so. Maybe google gets profit by letting them stay...

Show HN: Add Real-Time Collaboration to Excel 2013, 2016 and Online
> If a paper deserves a serious comment, I think the proper format for that is another paper.

That's the thing, though - speaking as a former academic, the reaction when you see a paper that needs serious commenting is mostly "I'll just ignore this paper, since it has these issues", and you continue working on your own stuff - which again is because of the need for citations. If comments had larger effects on your career, they would be worthwhile making. I would guess the effect would be less papers and more 'collaborative science' where you start from a paper and either suggest improvements or improve it / replicate it yourself. I don't see the current proliferation of papers to be a good thing.

As for the worry that there will be too many 'laymen' doing the commenting, there could (as suggested elsewhere) be a verification process - i.e. there could be a 'Verified Ph.D.' (or some other measure of merit) comment section in addition to the 'layman' section.

There could also be a 'replication' section, where replication efforts will be rewarded - possibly by giving the replications some fraction of the paper's total 'reputation'.

In short: If comments are made to really count for scientists, I think there will be a more healthy scientific process going on. Viewing a paper as an evolving thing is IMO more in line with how science does work anyway - a result should be replicated before it's accepted, which is not the case now.
Let me seeeee ... weeeeeeell ... how can I put this?

> Legislation that forces large sites like Facebook to federate

This could happen faster than you might think. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 ([1]) just needs some updating to current technological standards.

Quoted:

> Interconnectedness. Since communications services exhibit network effects and positive externalities, new entrants would face barriers to entry if they could not interconnect their networks with those of the incumbent carriers. Thus, another key provision of the 1996 Act sets obligations for incumbent carriers and new entrants to interconnect their networks with one another, imposing additional requirements on the incumbents because they might desire to restrict competitive entry by denying such interconnection or by setting terms, conditions, and rates that could undermine the ability of the new entrants to compete.

I meant that if you were to "sanitize" all input your program gets by replacing "'" by "\'" in there everywhere, then assuming that most of the rest of your program actually works as normal and calls libraries that do things correctly etc, you're just going to have backslashes show up because they're in the string. Maybe you also echo the string back to HTML immediately before it ever goes into SQL, et cetera.

Only escaping quotes that are inserted directly into SQL query strings is not what I understood by "sanitizing all input".

>To make a proper comment on a paper requires a significant amount of work (as does refereeing).

Let's not fool ourselves, not all refereed papers are great, not all of them are significant and not all of them are published in high impact journals. Most of the reviewing is cursory, menial, and often delegated to postdocs/phds. Most scientific topics are highly specialized, and you 're unlikely to see trolls bothering to comment on them. Writing another paper as response is not a solution either: the pace of article publishing is months and years, not seconds.

An example: I have often found the discussion of scientific papers here, in HN, to be illuminating, clarifying or countering issues, and offering a wider perspective that is often not mentioned in the article itself. And it's not like everyone in HN is a luminary, just mostly inquisitive people. I also see articles discussed in a useful way in twitter. Why can't we open up this discussion?

I don't think comments are to be taken as reputation metrics either. But i do think a simple, helpful open discussion section is missing from every paper that i have read. I believe the main barrier to it is that academics do not want to get off their high horse of untouchability.

To be precise, many journals do have a comment section, but nobody uses it.
