Hmmm. Would you feel the same way if there wasn't so much ambiguity around his departure? There's often HN stories when notable people depart notable organizations/projects.

I definitely understand where you're coming from. This comment section certainly isn't even remotely productive and I can understand and mostly agree with your choice to flag it. But purely out of interest, I do wonder where you feel the line is. I do find it interesting to know when various people change their affiliations. It's one of the things I actually often find out about on HN, since I otherwise wouldn't end up keeping up with any of it.

Nationwide cell phone outage
No mention on any news site I know yet. Started around 17:00 EST 3 June 2016

I haven't setup any of the new Nest cameras, they REMOVED bluetooth? Completely non-sensical.

The new Nest app on the phone is just now, finally reaching feature parity years and years later and its still not fully there. The 1080p debacle is terrible as well, they also compress the hell out of video now, it feels far worse than when I first got my cameras years ago (presumably to save on the storage space I'm paying quite a bit for).

It's funny, you rarely know the moment a company goes off the rails but I know exactly when it happened for me, for Dropcam.

I was out to dinner a year or so ago and all of us who had Dropcams got emails from nest about needing to migrate to nest accounts, and found that:

A) our access to our camera's was completely cut-off
B) the migration process was completely broken, at first we thought just on mobile but it still didn't work when I got back to a computer, it took a few DAYS before I could migrate my account and access my cameras again.

This was terrible, I was 1000 miles from home and unable to access any of my cameras, I completely lost faith in the company at that moment and I know all of my friends did too.

The short answer is 'watch Game of Thrones'.

Liberal means different things in different countries.

Generally speaking people's beliefs follow their group association rather than the other way.
In many US groups this means adopting 'liberal' ideas.

There is also the history of conflict between religious traditions that are Judeo-Christian-Islamic and more pagan or Satanic belief systems.
If Alberta were it's own country their coffers would have been much bigger to deal with this mess. They probably would have also have accepted firefighters right away from other countries instead of waiting. They're is really no farmland up near fort mac. Don't know how farmland jobs are being destroyed?
How do they not address the actual financials? (saying "Numbers aside" and then digging into the strategy shift).

I'm more curious - out of the $200mm they are projecting this year, or the $100mm they made last year - what did they spend? Their business model seems even more insane than Groupons to me.

They apparently have to pay out $12-15 per class to the studios. Had heard that on a $99 membership, with about $50 going to normal expenses (staff, marketing, etc), if a member takes 4 classes in a month they're already underwater - and they'll lose money on every additional class that user takes.

Want to know if that is true!

I just suggested this from first principles :)

Rather than raffle the best seats, sell a ticked that has an 50% chance of being a good seat and a 50% chance of being a dirt cheap seat and then decide on entry which seat you have. A true fan will be ok either way (they will of course be happier with a good seat), but the scalper won't be able to charge a premium for a good seat ticket.

I think most intermediate / senior engineers can make 75k a year, but starting is very low, like 50k.

I drive an electric motorbike/scooter in Saigon. It's bigger than the ones this article is talking about; 6 batteries, 1800 watts, 80km/h top speed, 100km distance.

It's been great except for what it's doing to my electric bill and the fact the batteries are lead acid. Hoping to convert to LiPo in a couple of months.

To charge it, I have to bring it in the elevator of my building which is fine though it is the size of an actual gas motorbike and way heavier because of the batteries.

I was replying to a comment with a kickstarter about an electric motorcycle, seems pretty relevant to me, hence my surprise.
I don't know the details but I'd guess that there's no funds verification involved just the validity of the account itself (which is what the micropayments are for when validating a checking account for the ACH flow).
You're probably more senior than me, I figured 120 is about what a senior level employee would be worth. Generally speaking of course. Big difference for example, between expert Python dev and expert C++ dev writing display drivers or graphics engines.

I don't know exactly what I'm "worth" so that's why I like to ask around. I base what I'm worth off more the going-rate than I do me being a touch below or touch above the average employee. I'm not confident enough to demand 120 yet, but 120-180 is what I'd ask once I'm dominating interviews and able to pretty much make everyone else look like a fool.

I've found the same things on all your points. If anyone else wants to add in more salary datapoints please do so. Don't be ashamed of lower salaries, I have friends who work for 70K a year as C# devs and know full well they can make more. They choose to stay because they're comfortable. That's worth a lot too.

I make 90K now, but I work from home and am very comfortable. I know I can get 100K if I switch jobs and start going into an office again. It's not but may once I find the right place to land.
Somewhat related.
Often I leave the office, to do nothing. Walking, talking with people etc. And after those 10-15min when I do come back I usually have a solution for the problem I was working on. It might seem to outsider, or even for myself that Im just slacking off, not really trying to get the problem solved fast, but in practice it saves time.

I feel like most of the people commenting here probably don't know any other Tor project members by name, including the founder's, and don't really know what Appelbaum did or the project either.

You could get Finals Game 1 tickets for less than face value in the days leading up to Game 1. Same for Game 2 to a lesser extent. This doesn't apply for every seat level, but it's definitely possible.

The Warriors' solution seems to have been to set face value to be as high as possible since this year's finals tickets are notably higher than last year.
Yes. The cloth is modelled as particles connected by springs (semi-stiff rods).

This is Verlet Integration, Verlet is good for cloth as Euler tends to tear cloth.

Solving so many constraints simultaneously would be rather intractable so an approximation is achieved iteratively.

This iterative approximation to simultaneous equations is termed Relaxation, more precisely Gauss-Seidel or Jacobi iteration depending on whether the constraints are applied sequentially or in parallel.

For the sequential version each constraint is applied one after another and this repeated a few times, thus 'relaxing' toward a solution that satisfies all the constraints.

Particle movement may be modelled in a variety of ways, Euler, Verlet, Runge-Kutta, (&c.) each with their own pros and cons.

Euler is the most familiar and tracks position and speed, updating the position with speed times time. Basic Euler applies forces to the velocity vector. Sometimes Euler tracks acceleration and forces are applied as changes in acceleration and updates the velocity vector by acceleration times time.

Verlet Integration does not track speed only last and current positions, speed is implicit. In Verlet Forces are applied simply by moving a particle. Basic Verlet Integration thus has a fixed timestep( variable timestep Verlet and other refinements exist).

The problem with Euler integration is that speed and position can lose sync and so the particle is in the wrong place and the cloth stretches and tears.

As Verlet Integration tracks only position it is more stable (and faster to calculate). Long used in molecular dynamics and galaxy formation simulations, Verlet broke into the mainstream with Thomas Jakobsen's work on Hitman[0] where he used it for fast 'realistic enough' rag doll simulations. Verlet tends to correct itself over time and produces fast 'good enough' simulations, the sweet spot for games.

The hotness of the event does not change that when resellers make a profit, they do it without providing value to anyone.
>And while carmakers, rideshare companies and Autonomous AI companies are all forming alliances in varying capacities, Alphabet's self driving car project dance card remains conspicuously empty.

That seems to be mostly because even though many researchers in the field think that door-to-door Level 4 autonomy is decades out, Google is apparently uninterested in any intermediate steps. Which pretty much rules out any partnerships with automakers etc. who are interested in things they can sell in interesting commercial horizons.
If you in any way sell tickets for less than the true market value, people will find a way to take advantage of that.

The only solution is to sell the tickets at market value from the start. Then there is no profit to be made by resellers.

Edit: Well there might be still some "market making" business in buying and selling, since inevitably there will be people who end up not being able to use the tickets they bought but don't want to stand outside the venue trying to sell them themselves. But the margins will be much smaller.

Super Bowl tickets cost $850 to $1850 in face value, but resold for an average of about $5000. If tickets cost $5000 minimum the game probably would still sell out at some point (though not immediately), but people would be even more angry about the ticket situation.

http://money.cnn.com/2016/02/03/news/super-bowl-tickets-pric...

Blaming it on "insiders getting tickets first" and "bots" is just a way of hiding the fact that it's very deliberately designed to be the best way of handling things now, it's just that nobody likes scarcity.
Interesting. Why do you think that would be "profiteering as your main motivator" to have as a general principle that as you scale your work you also scale your salary? I'm not sure how that follows. It also seems to be the general principle in all the companies I'm aware of that support part time work, but perhaps there's something I'm missing. I'm all ears.
> Constraints provide freedom. (...) This is not Orwellian newspeak.

This is just contravariance of function arguments. For every restriction on what the caller may supply, the callee earns the freedom to assume something about what it is supplied (namely, that the restriction holds). This is mathematically a triviality, of course. From a higher level point of view, the terminology might change, but the same essential fact remains: when a module/class/component/whatever author claims a freedom for themselves, they're denying freedoms to their users. This is inescapable.

The real problem is, if freedom is never absolute, but rather a matter of give and take between different software components, how do we find the right “distribution of freedoms” across software components? This is the essence of modular software design, and it's highly nontrivial.

I didn't say Facebook exits bc its users. I said its monetary value exists bc its users. Have you ever bought Facebook ads? The users are what's being sold, not the ad (i.e. FB doesn't make the ad, but asks you what users you want to see the ad).

I'm not saying FB owes me anything, but niether does YouTube who manages a revenue sharing program with its content creators (users). Btw those users didn't create YouTube, run their servers, write the code, etc...
Just an incredibly kind PSA to everyone while we're on the subject of processing payments: Plaid's account verification does not in any significant or meaningful way prevent fraudulent transactions. Neither does Stripe.

In fact, Stripe loves the chargeback fees, and there's a whole lot of "stuff" that's waiting to be released (and I don't mean as a feature) that will kindly support this.

"Hi joshmn I'd love to hear how we can improve [but we will actually take what you say with a grain of salt because you're not in our club.]"

I might sound bitter, but I'm not; I'm simply appalled. Not because I was burned by Stripe personally. Instead, my clients have, and you probably know someone that has too.

Please for the love of your company/business/project, review transactions carefully. For most things that are just getting started, all it takes is one transaction to really screw things up. For businesses, you have ~3 lives.

I remember my college theology class - we discussed how laws are often created in an effort to reflect and communicate community values. I find it interesting that someone would insist that laws are more important than the values being communicated by their "neighbors". If anything, I would think such feedback is a more valid expression of community values.
ML lets you define just about any abstraction you want, and actually enforce it, both statically (using abstract types) and dynamically (using exceptions). The only thing that's limited in ML is which abstractions can be enforced using only static means.

It depends what your goal is. This is quite impressive for compressing each image down to 200 bytes.

If you were actually using this for compression, this could be useful.You could store the "diff" between the reconstruction and the actual pixels, which would take many fewer bits than storing the whole image. Video compression already does something like this, storing a frame, and then the following frames just being diffs to the pixels of the previous frame.

The goal of this project seems to be more artistic, so the poor quality might even be desirable.
What I usualy see is "Install packages A,B,C" ok it is easy fire up Ubuntu VBox type "sudo apt-get install A". All goes well then I install package B and then it turns out apt-get for my Ubuntu has only some older version. No problem I find that i can install package B in newer version from someones PPA. This one works but when it comes to package C it turns out that it is only compatible with package B v.2 but with A v.1.3 and package B v.2 needs package A v.1.4.

Then I give up, because I am not going to fiddle with it for hours just to find out that package from PPA does not work becaue I have not copied it to correct directory and I have not changed permissions to correct ones.

Ok I can setup ftp/http/ssh on linux server with apt-get and changing configs, no problem.
