Accomplish something? Oh yes it does! It served to attenuate the absolute day by day anguish of living with the fact that the murderer who blotted out the existence of the person you knew is set to enjoy a new life out of prison while their victim continues to rot. It also solves the potential for recidivism.
That's an interesting thought, but I'm afraid that the actual reason is far more trivial.

Companies are typically founded by highly passionate and creative people, who care a lot about what they do and are both able and willing to steer their startup in the right direction.

Once they grow, they start hiring new employees, many of those will inevitably be the kind of people who only want to do their job and go home. Over time, the management too gets filled by people who apply mainly because it's a high status and well paid position, and are not at all that interested in what the company does.

Eventually, all the remaining creative people and even the founders themselves get bored with the routine and leave to do something else and the company becomes hollowed out. The remaining people may be highly skilled and competent in their respective positions, but they are generally unaware of the big picture and the reasons behind how things are done.

As the result, the company slowly turns from succesful to dysfunctional as its ossified culture gets out of touch with the ever evolving reality, as there aren't any people left in the company who are able to notice practices that are no longer functional and care enough to change them.

I'm a little confused by the article: it appears to me that the input to the neural net is a series of frames, and the output is a series of frames? So it works as a filter? Or is the input key-frames, and so the net extrapolates intermediary frames from keyframes?

[ed: does indeed appear from the github page, that the input is a series of png frames, and the output is the same number of png frames, filtered through the neural net. No compression, but rather a filter operation?]
Two things that are sorely missing in this comparison to NoSql is:

How are they performing horizontal scaling, I'm guessing they aren't, without addressing the issue of sharding and scaling they can't really compare the solution to NoSql - it is the number 1 feature that NoSql has over RDBMS.

If they are achieving 1ms response time , then they almost certainly have the entire table in memory cache.
What happens when the data grows beyond the size of the memory and it's not financially feasible to get a larger memory instance.
Much less than that. $50,000/year of prison * (~80 year life expectancy - ~30 mean age of criminal) / 39.9 million Californians = $0.06 each.

Aha, so that's an actual modern-day example? An official who tries to prevent a gay marriage can be punished under common law even though there is no legislated law against officials trying to prevent gay marriage.
Only if you assume that the free movement of labour is impossible; capitalists like myself argue that it's an entirely achievable goal. After all, we've achieved relatively free movement of capital.

The issue is that there are strongly entrenched powerful interests operating against free labour movement. Sadly, those people and organisations are themselves labelled as capitalists (sometimes, self-described).

Ask HN: A guide for front end developers beyond online learning. Thoughts?
Are there others out there that would benefit from definitive guides in web development processes? Things like Code Compiling, Code and Asset optimisation/site performance, tools like gulp/git/analytics as well as frameworks & preprocessors. All things that aren't available on free codeacademy courses but crucial to optimum results. Just trying to gauge whether there’s a demand for such a thing outside of my own personal experiences. If there's a demand I'll build it. Not sure of the medium yet either, video or written.
Even with standard rack-mountable equipment, it can't be that difficult to do it when you have a couple hundred processor boards to arrange in space. And the vertical piles of boxes is, most likely, not the optimal arrangement.

It's hard to feel sorry for Gawker here. Hogan was filmed having sex in private without his knowledge or consent and they ran the video anyways. This is both illegal and morally repugnant.

They brazenly violated the law in a way that hurt people and now they are trying to craft a narrative of powerful billionaires attacking the press without just cause.

If Forbes is right, Thiel did us all a service by taking out the trash. No one should have their sex life on public display against their will when they never gave permission or even had an expectation of filming.
Okay, consider this: you're talking about punishment.

What, exactly, is the point of punishment?

Are you trying to prevent future crimes? Great, we're actually talking about crime prevention and severity of punishment is a red herring (because we actually need to consider punishment as merely one option among many).

Are you trying to satisfy victims? Okay, but now you're saying the punishment basically serves as a synthesised substitute for mob justice -- so why pretend there's anything humane about it at all?

Are you trying to deter other would-be criminals from doing the same? Great, we can actually measure the effectiveness of that empirically (spoiler: it's not great) and adjust punishments accordingly.

Or we can just build more prisons and put more people in jail (or murder them if we really don't like them) because that has worked out so well in the US.
> The contrast has been improving, but it's still not as good as printed paper.

You're right about contrast. For normal reading this can be compensated with setting the font (a lot) bigger. This makes reading a lot easier on the eye. The only problem is that PDFs and tables or bullet lists get messed up. Speed and CPU power then can become a problem.
1. They probably don't need sharding, since the dataset is small enough to just replicate it in mirrors.

2. 1ms is achievable with SSDs, but 200K q/minute seems slow my gut feeling tells me.

This post is more like "ha we don't need NoSQL for this special use case" - Once you need scaling and some sort of atomics, you quickly have to use HBase for row-level atomicity and scaling.

Redis is probably better suited for the posted usecase anyway.

Seems we have a true disagreement.

> Idris? In the entire history of computing there has been a single[1] complete non-trivial (though still rather small) real-world program (CompCert) written in a dependently typed language.

Five or ten years ago how many such programs were there in a language with higher-kinded types? Thirty years ago how many with type inference? Innovation is slow - perhaps five years was too optimistic, looking at the history - but it does happen; PLT ideas do eventually make their way into mainstream languages.

> although you didn't say it can work, only that it would "be a better language than Scala", so I'm not sure what your success metrics are

I think it will be the most effective (for real-world problems) general-purpose programming language - a spot I think Scala currently holds. Hard to define objectively of course.

Thank you, that's awesome and reassuring - although you might take away that it's near impossible to figure out in the settings right now.

You even got a reply on this random board from another pebble customer who's still confused (and usage log doesn't seem likely to me, that sounds like telemetry? "User likes to access feature A" vs "All the sensor data").

In short: I'm looking forward to the support reply. Initial reply was 'forwarding to tech, might need more time'. Please consider making this more explicit, if you're in a position to bring this issue up.

Edit: In fact, this comment of yours convinced me that Pebble (vs all the other watches) IS the right choice - I just backed the campaign for a Time 2 / Core combo). Thanks.
Modern C++ Challenge
In France, juries are involved only for cases defined as "Crimes" (the American equivalent would be felony, but it's much more restrictive), such as murder and rape, especially violent thefts and war crimes. And even in these cases, their role is much less important than in the US for two reasons :

* the 6 jurors (9 in appeal) decide the case alongside 3 professional judges whose influence is often decisive during the jury's deliberation (and in any case they always carry 3 votes)

* there's no need for an unanimous decision: 6 votes are necessary for any conviction (8 in appeal)
Brevik attacked an event held by the youth movement of a far left political party in Norway so the father (who I assume is also far left) reacting/coping that way is unsurprising.

That's not something to lionize though. Pretty sad all around. There's no great wisdom there, just a leftist coping method employed by the father, similar to what a religious person would do.
Yes, there is no explicit statute that says that an official can be punished for preventing gay marriage, but new case law would make this an offence and a lower court might need to establish further new case law to decide what an appropriate punishment might be for the official or state that does try to block it within the legal context of similar violations of law both in statute and case law. Basically they would get fired for not performing their duties as an official.

So jail them for life because -- you know -- they could maybe do something illegal?

What reasoning is this?

Why not have a only "for the rest of your life" punishments? You know, a thug being a thug, probably born like it. Won't ever change those people. Better lock them up, put them away. /s

They were also stuck at /least/ a process node back due to earlier anti-competitive practices that Intel didn't get sufficiently penalized for. (Those practices literally forced AMD out of the same /business/ as Intel; which is what cemented the situation they've ended up in.) A fair settlement would have broken up Intel in to isolated fabrication and pattern-design businesses.

MySQL looks great when used as K-V because it avoids the bad planner (when you have a primary key as the only searching key, a planner is useless) and denormalizing avoids expensive JOIN ops.

But there is the awkward replication model, the lack of native data structures as column type and the lack of sharding support.
Silicon quantum computers take shape in Australia
I'm not a lawyer but I have a basic understanding. In the UK case law is probably more applicable to what we call civil law than criminal law. Most things are criminalised by legislation (like French law) these days but civil law matters like the definition of the tort of negligence, contract law etc are more dependent on precedent (common law). So an example which is the basic definition of the modern interpretation of negligence is the snail in the ginger beer case [0]. This is a classic case which lawyers and quite a few other professionals study. I was taught this at Architecture School and I still get updates on cases pertinent to construction through the CPD program of my professional association. Obviously you can disappear down the rabbit hole pretty quickly when trying to figure out how precedent might apply to your particular situation. This is why you should always consult a lawyer not random comments on the internet. Also because they spend years reading this stuff it explains why they are so expensive!

>If you buy into the logic that repeat offences constitute a more severe crime, it's sensible to take prior offences into account even if they were persecuted under a different jurisdiction.

But Nazi Germany wasn't a state under the rule of law, so it's questionable whether someone convicted by one of its courts was really guilty of the crime they were accused of. I.e. the different jurisdiction wasn't trustworthy, so its verdict should have been ignored.

Yeah at $50k a year to imprison him and perhaps 30 years of life left that seems like a perfectly reasonable way to spend $1.5 million dollars. You could re-educate, retrain and rehabilitate him for what you would spend to. Imprison him for 12 - 24 months.

Tapetum lucidum
Since you mentioned about "training to wield them correctly". This is the state of China that majority people that are actively using online social networks are those who lack of control and responsibility.

The Greatest Firewall blocks those who are less educated and does not know how to use technologies for the good, block those who can be manipulated easily by other politicians.

A lot of techies in China are able to get through this, in fact, there are special routers for setting up the network linked with Google/Youtube/Facebook or you name it, it's privately giving consent by the government, they sometime installed in large firms to ensure that smarter people can use information for the good. Now, again think about the gun scenario comparing to the US.

From national point of view, blocking or censorship is not only about freedom. They are protecting citizen's privacy and information for the nation. If you are the president, of course you do not want majority of the citizen's information held by a US company that is very good at machine learning; you also want to think about how to protect or help to shape the technology culture slowly without being disrupted by foreign countries.

Mostly of the time that people talking about things went wrong, but once you are in that person's shoes with the limitations/stresses he/she's facing, you probably start to see the reasons.

And of course the wsj or any US media is going to troll it as an outsider. It's also under US's national interests.

At least that the news in China never troll about other countries. I rarely seen any, most of the time they are thinking about what's good in other countries (creativity, tech, startup).

Now, try run a startup with about 100 people and maintain a good culture there - scale it 100 Billion times and think about maintaining it - it's not an easy job. It's nice to observe it, I won't complaint about it.
