My sister asked me to take off her clothes
So I took off her shirt.
Then she said, "Take off my skirt."
I took off her skirt.
"Take off my shoes." I took off her shoes.
"Now take off my bra and panties."
and so I took them off.
Then she looked at me and said, "I don't want to catch you wearing my things ever again."
When the employees of Facebook collectively ask "What responsibility do we have to stop the election of Donald Trump" at an internal meeting, it gives me Orwellian chills. Today, it's not governments we need to fear the most, it's data hungry, fascist internet corporations.
The colloquial usage of GPS includes devices using GPS with maps in them.
I didn't say it was. None of that explains what HDR as it relates to monitors means technically. Everything uses the term, but we already have numbers for bit depth of the signal and contrast ratios of the monitor.

So if it isn't just more contrast then what does it actually mean? In images it means the image has values stored above what can be displayed.
An inversion only happens when there is an incentive to do such. IP networks became much cheaper to run reliably and in a scalable fashion.

This is a very unfortunate story When I first moved out west I looked up directions with the Alltrails app, presumably based on some sort of map app, maybe google maps, to a trailhead in Idaho that should have been about an hour off the interstate. We drove until we reached a stream crossing that would have been impossible to cross in the car we had. However, we would not have continued up to the stream if the road narrowed to such a point that we were unable to turn the car around, also, it was at worst a days walk to the nearest town. We continued on foot following the directions for a bit, realizing the road was clearly an ATV trail and didn't appear to actually lead to the trailhead which looked to be quite a distance across a valley and a few mountains. We eventually headed back to the car (the scenery was still beautiful so nothing was really lost). We turned back and then re-read the correct directions from the forest service and tried to follow them to the real trailhead, eventually, asking for help from a super-fit cyclist climbing the mountain road alongside our little car. We finally arrived at the road to the trailhead only to find it covered in snow, unsurprisingly, as it was only early June and we were at 6000ft. The first moral of the story was GPS directions to trailheads are often incorrect and you should try and follow the real directions to the trailhead. The second is to know what conditions to expect during your travels.

I want to upvote this comment but I have no idea what "moral arbitrage" means. Is that like Apple being a green company but its factory works in Asia kill themselves?
The observable universe is effectively defined to be finite in size. The proof comes from the speed of light.
I'll help you through this, as that simple observation seems to be quite a challenge for you.

1) I'm an Emacs user and enthusiast.

2) I look into a lot of videos about Emacs.

3) I've noticed that, recently, many of these videos and screenshots are by people using OS X.

4) Someone wondered about an OS X video on the Emacs site.

5) I pointed out #3.

People like you are why FSF supporters have their reputation.
Just an anecdote about the older site. I was in a comp sci class at school a year ago. My classmate next to me asked what editor I use because it was a Beginning C++ class, and I said emacs. He went to the website which looked incredibly outdated to the expectations of new programmers, and just felt uncomfortable giving it a try. He opted for an editor with a more modern website.

So with the new website, which looks good, maybe emacs will seem more accessible and worth giving a try to new programmers who cross paths with it. At the same time, maybe that sense of accessibility is misleading given the learning curve of emacs that isn't exactly beginner-friendly. Nonetheless, I like the site!
First world problems: Buy GPS. Find place where it gives dangerous directions. Take out life insurance on a friend/family member and suggest they use the GPS at that spot. Profit.
Well consumers won't be able to buy their $30 jeans if they're produced locally... This problem is just as much about consumers wanting lower prices as it is about corporations wanting to make more money.

Not jeans, but rather very expensive dresses, and at a very small scale.

1500$ dress, has probably $150-200 in material (bought at/near wholesale prices), I'm sure that the jeans in the above video probably have about $20 in material.

Labor is the killer: Cutting, sewing and finishing one of those dresses is a 20 - 30 hour job. There are other costs too, some ongoing like customer service, shipping, marketing, some one time, like grading patterns so that you can make more than one size of an item, or getting photos taken of it for your store.

There isn't really a lot of "tech" in clothing manufacture. Sewing machines haven't changed much in 50 years, the fact that 50 year old equipment is STILL used for production should tell you something about the industry. It is HARD to automate something that is so nuanced.

The way it happens in an industrial setting is the same way its always been done. Lots of people doing the same job over and over on an assembly line. Yes some things have been automated to some degree but not to the extent they have in other industries.

Edit: Yes I have made jeans for myself before, but never at scale.
Well, they are currently breaking ground on high speed rail in California. We may get this question answered in actual fact in the not too distant future instead of in some hypothetical study.

Anyone have any ideas for how to help make it successful? I would love to have better transit options because I have no plans to drive a car ever again.
YT audio means awful, not the cconversion tool.
Absolutely true. I believe I proposed that in our correspondence, but it was a dealbreaker for bck2brwsr and TeaV M, which is understandable.
And I've written about those, too. :-) But while it doesn't have the same rhetorical gravitas, everyday quality of life is surprisingly important to one's experience of a place.

Re "one of the first pure-Linux mainstream attempts"

Damn, I'd have had you if you didn't say mainstream. This statement is so well-worded I might have to agree with it. Sad part, though, is it's because mainstream rarely accepts anything more secure, esp high integrity/security. Rust and QubesOS are among a tiny set of exceptions.

It turns out it's ridiculously difficult to make machines that will reliably deal with small, flexible, sometimes-overlapping, sometimes-folded, identically coloured bits of fabric.

You can automate parts of the garment-making process - embroidery, cutting things from rolls, stuff like that - but sewing the bits together automatically is really difficult for a machine, compared to a human.

If you've got clever solutions for this feel free to advance the technology - I'd really like a robot that can do my laundry :)
This. Figure out a standard. Make the consumer the source the general purpose computing hardware. You cut out a fuckton of cost. We just need some sort of communication protocol. IMO this might happen when as cars with electronic everything start getting long in the tooth or it won't happen at all.
0. I measure Show HN projects, some of which are startups. The dead/alive status as success is a proper measure for survival. For success, see the section on commercial success.

1. OLS works fine in classification problems. And it has advantages. For example, see http://chrisblattman.com/2015/07/22/statistician-neal-beck-j...

And I purposefully included results from three models, not one. They all say the same thing.

2. Multicollinearity refers to perfect multicollinearity. Having correlated independent variables (as in score and comments) are okay. See http://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/86269/what-is-the-e...

3. I mention R² as one measure of predictive power.

4. The regressions without GitHub-hosted projects return same results.
In case anyone wants to study the 12 points over and over again I wrote them down:

5. Economic segregation by building type.

6. No street enclosure and definition

7. Useless, ugly and wasted space

8. Parking-first aesthetics, garage façades, no alleys, no interior yards

9. No street life or visible human activity

10. No public transport

11. Improper interface between city and highway

12. Lack of regional planning vision
It's not just an American thing, it's the concept of a "demonym" -- and there are official and unofficial demonyms. For example, the official demonym of Massachusetts is "Bay Stater," but everyone uses the far more popular "masshole."

It could be SUV syndrome.

SUVs feel safer, and they're sold as a safe choice - even though in practice they're dangerous cars.

In the same way, suburbia has always been sold as a safe option, even though politically, culturally, socially, and ecologically, the effects are devastating.
Sometimes people have a hard time decoupling politics from their jobs. They should try how ridiculous it would sound to say "What can we do to stop Bernie Sanders". That should give them pause. As far as I know all the major candidates are operating within the law and thus we ought not try to Stop Them" just because our politics differ.

Or what if instead of national figures FB or anyone else tried to railroad an SF Supe they didn't particularly like because they shot down their proposed development. Or Menlo Park.

Part of Stallman's motivation for starting the free software movement was that your computer is an extension of your mind, and ubiquitous computer surveillance is basically the same as Orwell's thought police. The chilling effect is real, as demonstrated by a recent study that showed a drop off in terrorism related searches after the Snowden leaks. I freely research terrorism though, because I'm not "the type of person who would do something". So I basically rely on racial, ethnic, and economic discrimination to feel secure about what I search online. I just don't understand how James Comey and the FBI think that they can make us all safer by turning into criminals themselves.

I have not personally gone through the GT OMSC program. However, I do have colleagues and friends who are/were responsible the GT OMSC program at Uadcity.

From what I heard, a typical student in the program takes about 2 classes on average per semester due to the workload, and that should take up all of your free time outside of work and family. Some do take 3 if they are ambitious.
No, it's the new conditions. Some time ago they just sent full Excel files to journalists and researchers.

> In this case, our conventional languages provide no way for a programmer to say "I care about overflow".

GCC and clang have builtin operations that return whether they overflowed (bool __builtin_add_overflow(T a, T b, T* out), etc.). Similarly, Rust has wrapping, checked and saturating versions of all of the operations as methods on the integer types.

Having recently gotten one of their hoodies, I can say that the quality is excellent vs what you might buy at target/gap/local retail.

But it isn't the stitching or the fabric that is the reason for me disposing of a hoodie (as an example) its going to be staining, or unavoidable damage (snagged my clothing on something).

Okay, I'll be the one to say it - how does this bode for the future of autonomous cars? If a man drives off a cliff because he was following a GPS and not paying attention then that's not great, granted - but if your car drives you off a cliff whilst you're reading in the backseat that's another matter :)
The much touted ‘character hypothesis’ (which has become a staple of a lot of modern intellectual discourse around success, often heard from writers like Malcolm Gladwell and Paul Tough) is very useful, and speaks to an understanding of the greatly changed nature of success in the post-Industrial era. However, I think the qualities associated with that hypothesis should only be considered necessary, but not sufficient. To review, here is a list of qualities generally associated with it:

persistence
determination
self-control / the ability to delay gratification
abstention from substance use
curiosity
conscientiousness
self-confidence
(occasionally) emotional intelligence
good communication skills and a willingness to listen
grit

I’d personally add to the list ‘the willingness to always learn’ (i.e., be a dedicated autodidact for life.)

Based on what we’ve seen over the past ten years, especially with things like ‘the gig economy’ and our ‘free agent nation’, this hypothesis (perhaps model) holds up well. So what else is necessary? One or more of the following:

a strong personal safety net (savings and/or relatives and friends to fall back on)
good credentials
a strong personal / professional network

These last three are exactly the ones that are generally not available to those who need them most, even if they have all the qualities of the first list (you could also substitute ‘incredible luck’ for these three.) The idea that “men of enterprise are practically assured of success” is the kind of beautiful, romantic notion that periodically gets revived in America; the reality is different. We should remind ourselves that character alone may not be enough for success in today’s world for the even the most determined, confident, and gritty of people.
Does anyone think this problem will get any better if/when we allow the GPS to actually drive the car?

I'm waiting for the day that someone tells their iCar to "Drive me Home" and they wake up stranded 7,000 feet up "Mt. Home". It's not the GPS that is the problem. GPS does exactly what it was designed to do. The problem isn't even in the mapping software. The problem is that the human is too ready to give up decision-making to a machine. That should inform many autodrive enthusiasts who think humans cannot be trusted with their own navigation.
Thats the first thing I think every time I go there.
Not just the website but the icon as well.
One difference is that inlining is a safe optimization in most contexts.

Parallelizing a goroutine is not safe if the goroutine shares memory. Obviously that's not the default Go style, but sometimes sharing state is unavoidable.

So that would be one point in favor of different syntax.
If they all agree, why shouldn't they collectively act to accomplish some thing or the other?

Which is a completely different thing than manipulating their users, which they shouldn't be doing for any reason.

Well if the Bangladesh Bank was also following proper security protocol the money couldn't have been stolen as well.

The 'tech' is, more or less, the easy part. The hard part is all the people involved, and getting them to follow the rules. Sure, you make the tech more resilient to human 'error', but things like MtGox (or Bangladesh Bank) still happened.

New York city in recent years has had about 350 homicides and 250 traffic deaths (600 total). The state of Virginia, which has the same population (8m people), has 700 traffic deaths and 300-350 homicides. In other words, you're almost twice as likely to die in Virginia (a mostly suburban and rural state), than in the densest city in the country.

When was the last time you heard about a middle class white kid getting shot in the inner city? How often do you hear about teenagers dying in car accidents in your "safe" suburb?
I still think my comment reasonably captures the parlance, even if it doesn't account for the sea of legal definitions in the US.
You claim to be "a smart folk", while supporting Donald Trump and referring to the working class as "people who didn't win the intelligence lottery". I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you sir, are clearly not a smart folk.

The economy follows the path of least resistance and offshoring jobs is that path in the short term. Many actors in our society get rewarded in a short-term basis, e.g: bonuses are given in a per-quarter or fiscal year basis. Short-term strategies are not necessarily good for the long-term.
Personally, I wouldn't recommend that you attend a bootcamp if you already have a graduate CS degree because the cost (time and money) isn't worth the benefits (an entry level developer job, which you can probably obtain on your own given your credentials).

For you specifically, the only things that you'll get of a bootcamp are probably:
1) An expedited and structured learning process
2) Mentorship and peer support
3) Introduction to startups in the valley looking to hire entry level, junior developers

However, if you feel compelled and really want to attend a bootcamp in the valley, I have heard good things about:
Hackreactor and Hackbright for web-development
App Academy for mobile development
Insight Data Science and ZipFian for data science

Hope that helps.

Exactly. The problem is, as a private company, should Facebook choose to manipulate it's news feed algorithm to promote one candidate or the other, or for whatever reason, this would be its prerogative under the First Amendment.

I personally choose to not use Facebook specifically for these reasons. Even though I know many Facebook employees personally, I don't trust it's employees to divorce their own interests and their powerful position as Facebook's curators.
All well and good if your kids are from a school known to the admissions department at the colleges they are applying to, otherwise the AP courses, with all their flaws, are a reasonable compromise that gets them college credit.

My kids took a different route when faced with a truly incompetent high school calculus teacher. My wife convinced the high school to allow them to take courses at the local community college for both high school and college credit. The courses were approved by the University of California so there was no issue about transfer of credits.
Bloody hell... I looked this up as I was certain it couldn't still be the case. But yes, it is!

This was logged as an issue on Connect in 2008, [1] and Microsoft's response was:

"Thanks for your suggestion. We are considering adding support for UTF8 in the next version of SQL Server. It is not clear at this point if it will be a new type or integrate it with existing types. We understand the pain in terms of integrating with UTF8 data and we are looking at ways to effectively resolve it."

Currently we do "support" CP65001 in the console, but things break if you enable it. One of the problems, for example, is that .NET sees 65001 and starts outputting the UTF-8 BOM everywhere, breaking applications that don't even care about the character encoding. I suspect that's going to be difficult to fix without breaking compatibility.

Having said that, I think it's apparent that we are investing heavily in the console for the first time in a long while, so I'm more hopeful than ever that we can get this fixed.

I had one of these experiences when I was driving from Hungary to Austria. I was just blindly following the GPS, which started taking me down some very small roads with lots of turns. Since I had no idea where I was going I didn't question it.

I eventually stumbled upon a sign, in German, that was big and red, and I knew I was on the border between Hungary and Austria. I wasn't sure what the sign said, and at the time I didn't realize the two countries had an open border. I looked around for police like cars, and then quickly crossed the border, eventually reaching my destination just inside Austria.

As it turns out the sign just said "no vehicles over two metric tons", and that somehow I had gotten of the highway which had a very nice border crossing.

But a few years earlier and that mistake would have gotten me arrested!
