"And as if that were not enough, here’s the kicker. This was not some kind of massive high-throughput screen of the kind we so often hear about in biomedical research these days. The researchers tried this approach just once, in essentially their back yard, on a very small scale, and it STILL worked the first time. What that tells us is that it can work again—and again, and again"

Why is the fact that it happened once, at a small scale, in a relatively uncontrolled situation, supposed to engender confidence? The point of science is doing it many times, at large scale, in a repeatable fashion. That's when we have confidence in the way things work.

You didn't go through the opposite situation - the parent talks about shedding the Agile process and going for new ad-hoc methodology. You talk about simply electing a new scrum master, continuing business-as-usual.

You're actually supporting the GP's point, in that you had a good result due to maintaining good practices; 'good people' do not automatically make good software regardless of practice.

The momentum comes from the massive overinvestment in network capacity made as a result of the dot-com bubble. Bandwidth doesn't scale like storage or processing capacity do, though, so I predict the current balance in favor of centralization will eventually reverse as the cost of shuttling data back and forth to the center once again comes to outweigh the cost of doing all the heavy lifting at the edges.

That's great, but GTK apps still don't work with screen readers, at all[1]. Big buttons don't cut it for making an application truly accessible.

That is pretty much the answer, yes. Sure, some features will break, like out-of-the-box speech to text, but most of the core functionality will continue to work properly, and it definitely won't be a Revolv 2.0 :)
It's obvious that most of the heavy lifting is being done by apple's framework code written in objC, but that doesn't mean it has to be dynamic all the way up. Underneath that is all the BSD C code and device drivers. My device drivers are probably all using manual malloc/free without reference counting... just because they chose to write it that way doesn't mean we have do that in our application logic, and vice versa. That's the power of abstraction.

While I think there are some nice conveniences enabled by dynamic dispatch, like KVO and cocoa bindings, after using them, I find them to be a stringly typed mess.

> I have tens of thousands of lines of Python 2 code in a big system. I can't just take 2 months off to move all of it to Python 3. Moving it in pieces is also not really possible, since there are many inter-dependencies.

If you cant evolve a system incrementally because of excessive coupling, that's a problem, sure, but not a problem of either the platform you are on or the one you might be thinking about moving to, unless the former forced a tightly-coupled architecture on you.
Sounds more like a good argument to avoid sugar of lead.

Also to add on this, A9 is their subsidiary that implements search engine functionality and data analytics at Amazon. "Amazon.com" is a 9 lettered word, not including the dot; "algorithms" is also a 9 lettered word.

Udi Manber, the guy who invented agrep, has worked at Yahoo, Amazon, and now Google/YouTube (as a search engine engineer at all these places), and also wrote "Introduction to Algorithms", and co-invented suffix arrays with Gene Myers, was A9's first CEO.

A former AltaVista executive and founder of A9, William Stasior, was the second CEO of A9, where he then wandered off to Apple as Vice President of Siri.

Brian Pinkerton is now the General Manager of A9, and he is famous for starting one of the first search engines, WebCrawler, before AOL bought it, sold it to Excite, which then Blucora bought all those assets along with Dogpile. Blucora also owns TaxACT, Monoprice, and HowStuffWorks.

A9 is currently located in the building that SurveyMonkey used to occupy, across from the Palo Alto Transit Center.

So, yeah, the silicon valley culture is very weirdly interconnected.

Stock Market Machine Learning App for Your Laptop
I just finished writing spy611.com which is a web-app with a Python scikit-learn machine learning back-end.

The site uses Logistic Regression and Naive Bayes to predict the S & P 500.

It looks like Logistic Regression works better than Naive Bayes.

The web tier is written in Rails 5 which might not be as good as Django but can get the job done.

Rails 5 is new so I wanted to wrestle with it a bit.

If you study spy611.com you will find instructions on how to deploy it to your laptop.

> Apple are being sleazy and refuse to support free codecs like VP9 and Opus.

> May be Daala / Thor will eventually break their nasty behavior, especially if it will be adopted as mandatory for WebRTC.

I think AV1 (Alliance for Open Media's codec) is likely to be the video codec Apple joins in on, unless it tries to push HEVC. With Intel, AMD and ARM in the group, basically every computing device is going to have hardware support for it so Apple would have to actively cripple it in their hardware to go without.

As for audio, Opus is great for low latency and low bitrate but AAC is widely available and supported and performs better than Opus at high bitrates (which I suspect are more important to Apple than low bitrates). Maybe if Opus becomes part of a telecom spec for VoIP or something Apple will pick it up but I think it's unlikely otherwise.

Privacy is one thing, this is another.

If you avoid all that stuff (social interaction, talking to others, owning a car, renting an apartment, traveling by plane, etc) there must be a justification so that what you get out of avoiding it is more important than what you miss not doing them.

What that would that be in this case?

It doesn't sound like it's freedom.

Plus, if your attitude is "unfortunately, I'm still breathing", then how is owing a car or flying by plane or talking to another any worse than that?

Except if this all is Poe's law. In which case, this is a "slippery slope" fallacy which misses the whole point. In which case, if one doesn't have experience with something like a dictatorship, like my country and many others had, it's easy to snark such BS about privacy.
For instance, Zero-width spaces and other word-break characters can help reasonable text layout, but should be invisible. RTL and LTR marks help rendering text of different directionality, but obviously need to be invisible.

AV1 is the new codename for Daala + Thor? They used to call it NetVC. I hope they'll come up with better name than something that sounds like a virus :)

> As for audio, Opus is great for low latency and low bitrate but AAC is widely available and supported and performs better than Opus at high bitrates

Opus beats AAC even for music from what I saw and provides same quality at lower bitrates. I.e. it has lower transparency level, which means it's simply better overall. See http://listening-test.coresv.net/results.htm

Plus AAC is not free.
>Are there any jobs that don't involve coding

Yeah, basically all of them.

Bingo. SOC, screen and battery define the longevity of the device. Being able to upgrade those piecemeal moved mobile devices closer to that of the desktop PC (frankly if we could move the CPU onto a daughterboard i would be dancing with joy).

Also, screens are what most often break on a device, because glass don't deal well with sudden applications of force. Making them modular with a defined attachment system would be godsend for many butterfingers and parents.

All in all, what they are presenting now is things that can be done USB, WIFI or bluetooth.

I have run various honeypots for years. I wouldn't feel comfortable with a "honeypot in a container". I'm not even that comfortable with a honeypot in a virtual machine, though I have done it for short periods of time.

My personal preference is always for bare-metal. There's always an old PC or server sitting around that can be put into service as a honeypot and if something happens to it -- e.g., hardware failure with no replacements -- well, it's not a big deal.

There are exceptions. I recently watched District 9 and was very pleasantly surprised. The CGI effects were beyond reproach, but the movie did not use them as a substitute for plot or character.

Sunshine was very good, too - the script had logical holes in it that could swallow an entire galaxy, but the actors were so good, and the atmosphere so dense it was still a really, really good SciFi movie. Again, the special effects were good, but used sparingly.

So not all hope is lost.
A couple of weeks ago I bought an Airport Capsule for backups.

Thursday, I got the "your backup can't be verified" message, meaning that Apple threw away my backups. This is Apple product backing up to Apple product. I tried fixing it with fsck_hfs but it wasn't finished when I went to bed.

Today, I woke up and my MacBook Air is doing a nice loop where it lets me log in, then reboots. It's done that 10 times. I've tried resetting the PRAM, going single-user, logging in as a different user and finally re-installing the OS. Still doing it.

My wife and I have MacBook Airs and there's a shared Mac Mini in the family room. We got it mostly because the older kids needed Microsoft Office. It's attached to a 22" screen but is rarely used. The schools are using Google Docs and rarely print anything out.

My 3 kids love their Chromebooks. They use them for Youtube and reading fan fiction and things like that.

I'm typing this on a 2013 Chromebook Pixel which I bought off someone on Craigslist because I was curious to see what the build quality was like. My MacBook Air has been sucking wind with 4GB of memory and I've been waiting to see what the new MacBooks look like.

I take a lot of photos and I find that the Chromebook doesn't handle looking at 700 photos very well. But for 95% of what I do, the Pixel is better than the MBA. It's got bad battery life but then my MBA does, too. I had it hooked up to an external screen because I wanted more resolution and using the charger too much wrecked the battery.

Almost everything I want to do is shared online. I want my kids (and parents of other players/students) to have access to photos. I bought a family version of ARQ (highly recommended) because I wanted to do local data, physical off-site (at my mom's every couple of months), Airport Capsule and stored on Amazon's servers.

Now I'm trying to figure out how to re-invent things where I just use a Chromebook. Maybe I just use the Mac Mini for copying photos off SD cards to Flickr and onto a hard drive.

Anyway, point is that I don't think my kids will ever be very interested in spending their own money on a Mac even though they love their iPhones.

Explicit exchange of goods for kidneys isn't allowed in the US, but you can join a "donor chain" which, when you donate to another person, through a chain of people, someone you care about can eventually get a kidney. The chain acts as a central clearinghouse in the absence of direct monetary exchange.
A nation gives its government the mission to drive it trough hard times toward the future. One part on this mission can include some limitation on public speech, why not?

This is obvious in China for the cpc but I would not say they are completely illegitimate. And our western governments are not always legit either.
Thanks. There is a lot more that could be done in that style of action oriented discussion.
Show HN: The API Starter Pack Toolkit
It seems obvious to me that he's referring to the dichotomy of management (top-down) versus engineering (bottom-up). I think most people understand that businesses are indeed businesses. The point is that some development methodologies commoditize engineering to such a level that engineering is disempowered. This limits potential for innovation. Innovation comes from both ends. For example, as an executive I can "ideate" a search engine faster than Google. How useful is that vision without being source by or informed by engineering innovation? Conversely, some nerd (endearing usage here) builds a new search algorithm and uses solely it to find episodes of Star Trek where Spock chastises Kirk. Not exactly serving shareholders. In a healthy organization, there's a balance between these units where both see the value the other brings.

I agree with your points about the need for managers to also be experienced (and sometimes elite) engineers. Although I'm not sure I would argue that case for Project Managers, specifically.

Cool on it being self-hosting. I watched Chisel with cautious interest pretty closely, so FIRRTL looks pretty interesting to me. You guys mention you've taped out ~10 IC designs - does that mean a total of 10 revisions of say, 2 or 3 base designs? From the docs I've skimmed it the projects goal is purely to target Verilog, right? How extensive is the LVS (you mention "weak equivalence testing" so I presume that's not LVS-as-defined-by-graph-isomorphism and you still need to use Cadence/Mentor/whatever?). Which fab and process did y'all use and ultimately how much time do you think you saved compared to the standard 'take the building blocks that TMSC gives you' route ?

edit: This was in reference to FIRRTL's FAQ[1] which mentions the 10 tape outs, and such. Do you guys have open-source netlists or whatnot?
