The ARM ecosystem is objectively healthier than x86, due to competition from multiple vendors.
Google Now kept creepily insisting I was on my way home and kept calculating directions day after day..Even after disabling this directions to home feature, it still killed my phones battery life, so as omnitious as everyone likes to say Google is, they still had to have my phone do the ML cycles. Bah! Keep it all on your server Google! protesters yell 'Take it off your servers Google!' heh.. :-)
I also would hesitate to call it "Live" without showing how to adjust for GOP sizes, key frames, B and I frames, etc.
> It's free software;

It is not free software, it's proprietary. Please don't use the phrase "free software" in this context, as it confuses people. It has a very specific meaning in the context of software.

Health eFilings | REMOTE | Senior Backend Engineer | http://healthefilings.com/

Health eFilings software enables physicians who provide better care to get paid more money.

We are looking for innovative, self-starting software developers to create additional and manage existing back end integrations with Electronic Heath Record (EHR) systems as well as working with the team to continuously develop and improve our current and future software products.

We believe in working smarter not harder: much of our backend code is “meta-“ code that parses government specifications and then generates our actual code from that.

This position has large amounts of autonomy, and you are held accountable for results, not process. You will have the opportunity to grow into management or tech leadership. This position reports to the CTO.

See http://healthefilings.com/careers/ for more information.

Wow, Rancher looks amazing! Thanks for mentioning it.
As long as the valuation of the company is going up more than the dilution, the value of existing shares goes up.

In an early stage company that might mean raising a Series A where the valuation of the company goes up 100% and shares are diluted by 35%. Value still going up.

For an ultra late stage company like Uber that means ~5% dilution in this round and the total value of the company might go up 10-20%. The value of your shares is still going up.

For simple back of the envelope math, assume you invested 10k into Uber's seed round valued at 3.5 MM. Then we'll simulate some excessive amounts of dilution, so let's say our 0.28% stake is diluted by 30% 10 times (which is a ton of dilution and way more than would have reasonably happened).

You are now down to 0.007% of Uber. 0.007% of 65 billion is $5.1 MM. Not bad for a 10k investment.

Based on more reasonable dilution estimates my guess is a 10k investment in Uber's seed round is worth somewhere between 25-50 million.
Adblocking is part of the report now. Adblocking can be a nightmare and it was reported on Google reports before.
Agree that it doesn't seem like Apple is seriously interested in touching desktop gaming.

On one hand, thats probably not a bad idea. Look at the scaling on mobile GPUs vs desktop GPUs and the revenues in both. They are so far behind here, why play catch up, just move to where the puck is going (or make a new place for it to go).

Having said that, I'm not seeing the kind of investment I'd like to see in Mobile & Apple TV based gaming from Apple, but that may be because Apple simply doesn't care or doesn't understand that industry at its core. Guess we get to watch it unfold.
I was looking into this, as I have connections to the devs via our hackerspace.

After research, I steered away, and hard.

1. Newbies trying to grok the platform are mocked mercilessly. Publicly over reddit and twitter.

2. The "leader" is an avowed racist and nasty person in general. Now, ad hominems aren't "good"... but if I work on it, I get lumped into the similar group. Just no.

3. It uses "Hoon" to program, which is in reality a Lisp variant. They wanted something completely foreign so "only dedicated people would learn it". Seriously. Use Lisp.

4. It's another company interests driving the project. Projects like these have the potential of changing everything on the internet. Locking it behind a company "firewall" means if they die, the project does as well.

Metabolism plays a big role in determining the effective dose.

There are people who can take what are considered high therapeutic doses and feel very little effects because of the way their body metabolizes the chemical, which of course has nothing to do with whether they have ADHD or not.
> Well I've used Firefox on both Linux and Windows for years and the Linux version is better than the Windows version. More polished, faster, feels better integrated

Do you have any numbers on the "faster" aspect? Most comparisons I've seen put the Linux version solidly behind Windows version.

As for features, for example video playback on Linux Firefox has severely lagged behind Windows version. It's not very long time ago that I needed to make some "non-recommended" about:config changes to get youtube working.

Even integration-wise I think I have had more problems on Linux than on Windows, file associations, copy-paste, and misapplied themes being most notable issues that come to mind.

I'm pretty sure that I've seen even Mozilla say that majority of developer effort goes to Windows first, and it shows. While you anecdotally might have had good luck, I'd claim that is atypical

You can ratchet your way all the way to 100% of zero, but getting a greater percentage of negative is not the way to positive. I think what we're all sensing here is there's a colossal infusion of cash that's not supported by the business model and at some point, there won't be any more cash available. They better find a business model that's not so negative quickly.
I would be interested to learn more about their research behind it. Will there be any papers released? Specifically: how much data did they train on? How many machines for how long? How did the different NN architectures perform?

I guess those things would be fine to share without revealing the inner workings.

I'm stepping back since you're clearly more interested in technicalities than my overall point. So, I'm going to focus on that. Currently, there's two claims about patents:

1. They're the source off all kinds of innovation and startups that wouldn't otherwise happen. This means CompSci doesn't happen unless private parties fund it due to patents they expect. Most funding is by taxpayers. So, that's not true. Private parties won't invest in things without patent protection? Not true: they do anyway to remain competitive. Startups won't happen without patent protection? They do anyway with them rarely using patents and some using trade secrets. So, alleged benefits of patents are a lie, esp in software space.

2. They're primarily a tool to maximize profits of companies, small or large, that contribute almost nothing in innovation or features. Every study I've seen shows this. Plus, most suits are coming from groups that produce nothing: acquire patents from someone for cheap, then sue anyone actually building anything. Opposite of what system claims to do. Large companies make up most of the rest of the suits by putting innovators out of business while leaving their own products stagnant. They even sometimes try to take the products off the market as we saw with Virnetx, Apple, and Microsoft.

So, net effect is that patents are hurting innovation. Plus, nobody producing innovative stuff getting acquired did so by reading hundreds of thousands of patents. Surveys show they rarely ever read a single patent. They look at what's out there, maybe read academic work, build something, and sell it. Of all that innovation, patents contributed jack and most don't even get patents since they're expensive to get. Easier for big players the system is designed to benefit. ;)

"How long does it take for you to get a hint? ~15 years of patent reforms, numerous SCOTUS cases, POTUS trying to get involved, etc."

Vast amount of profits produced by legal monopolies gave patent holders more money on lawyers and politicians have given them a good run. Plus, most of the rest aren't uniting to deal with the problem with counter-lobbying. I had a hint of that a while back. That doesn't mean we actual innovators should stop fighting monopolies mostly issued to non-innovating, big companies and small companies that sue instead of sell products.

"Same old tired line. If it drives prices up then generally it will lure investors to invest - and to invest in patents requires investing in innovation - investing in innovation means R&D."

That was so funny I had to respond to it. A patent is a legal monopoly. A monopoly by definition and style will lead to higher prices than competitive segment with many players innovating. If you're right, please tell me about all those cancer and heart drugs that I can get for generic prices. Oh wait, I can't, because they're patented and patent-holders charge whatever the market will bear to maximize profits. Same everywhere else where alternative innovations are hard to come by. Or existed but don't count in a "first-to-file" system that favors patent holders.

I'm a senior web developer looking who's mostly worked in Rails or Python, though I'm very interested to move towards either end of the hierarchy of computing abstractions and work in Rust or Haskell. I've been coding professionally for 15 years, hobby programming for 10 more. I've spoken at RailsConf and internationally at wroc_love.rb, and have self-published a book on programming. I like working with smart, happy people to make useful things on the web or in a network setting. I enjoy being tech lead and mentoring junior devs but am not on a management track.

In what way is the ride-share market any sort of monopoly when there's little barrier to entry. In fact, I see new entrants in this market all the time. Hardly any chance to be a real monopoly unless they can somehow carve their way to exclusivity in a market, which is never going to happen.
Are they going to open source it so that everyone else can use DeepText?

I have very complex password generation requirements for some of the services I need to access and KeePassX does not:

1) have nearly the same level of support for defining complex password generation rules
2) have support for saving said custom password generation as a profile

So, KeePass + wine it is until I have a better alternative. :)
I originally was going to make the distinction between executions for murder versus executions for acts of political dissidence. Then I remembered a high-profile UAV strike of a pro-terrorism speaker and recruiter. [1]

Anwar al-Awlaki was a conspirator for a deadly terrorist attack, so that would ordinarily meet the requirement for guilt of murder.

The UAV strike was actually an act of war against an Al-Qaeda officer; killing of enemy soldiers not carrying weapons (such as artillery spotters, etc) is permitted under the laws of war.

Anyway, it really muddies the waters and I think the criticism of both US and Saudi practices is appropriate.

>we just downloaded a spreadsheet with X questions

If you don't mind me asking, from where did you get this spreadsheet?
Thanks for the feedback! It's easy to be transparent when you're proud of your process.
Queryable and even indexable! Hardly a trade-off at all, really.
So what if they execute people for what they think are crimes? Who are you to judge what people should or should not do? What you label as evil someone will label as good. There is no absolute evil/good, as you're trying to portray it. It only your opinion vs. their opinion.

HAHA, I tend to agree that 'never' is the only good answer.
I can't find the link because the huge media churn makes it impossible to find anything that isn't the most recent story, but didn't they ban Chris Sacca from the Uber office for hanging around and buying secondary shares from people?

I think the lockdown happened after that.

How exactly is that supposed to make sense?
All of these comments seem to be saying that this is so well written.

I still have no idea what it is actually trying to accomplish. Is it a decentralized storage/compute platform? Why are they calling it an OS? Why does it only reference existing technology to say it isn't that?

None of the links are working for me either.

We’re building the next generation of medical testing solutions including consumer-focused pharmacognetics.

We're looking for software engineers that are passionate about the craft. Tech Meetups, Slack channels, and clearly ycombinator are favorite places to visit.

Ideal candidates are inquisitive, analytical and excited by prospects of green-fields. Nearly a year into our waterfall detox, we’ve embraced new development frameworks (Agile/Scrum, DevOps), re-envisioned the application architecture (microservices) and preparing to implement new technologies (ASP.NET Core 1.0 on Linux + Docker, Angular 2, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Amazon Web Services).

If you’ve always wanted an opportunity to join a revolution, we’d love to talk.

Currently, no - but I have actually used a setup like that before.
If we know how to make it happen, how could it transpire that they (apparently) didn't use that knowledge?
" Supercomputer storage is fault tolerant only by fortuitous accident and often requires week-long outages with destroyed data for software upgrades."

Have you tried Ceph or Sector/Sphere? Lustre is known to be crap while Ceph gets a lot of praise and Sector/Sphere has potential for reliability with good performance. I think you may just be stuck with tools that suck. I'll admit it was about 10+ years ago when I was knowledgeable of this area. It could've all gone downhill since.

"That's all I'm saying - HPC people (at least currently) are massively overrated as developers and as admins. "

I'll agree with that. It's one of reasons field built so much tooling to make up for it. ;)
I don't think UBER has finished discovering their business model, and they probably knew so all along. their end model might be something like via(ridewithvia.com, just raised $100 million, an in-depth user review here[1] ) - shared transportation, filling each vehicle with 3-7 people at peak times at much lower costs.

The question now is: can UBER go from here to there ? and how fast ?

My answer is yes, i think they can. Assuming via has some unique software/skills(maybe), they can just buy them, and scale that service(drivers will be happy for more business, taxi users will share a good deal letting UBER reach non-taxi users fast).

[1]"I took Via to work everyday for a month. Here's what I learned" - http://www.brickunderground.com/live/commute-via
Even in the context of software, it still means no cost.

In the context of software it can also mean FOSS, but just because we're talking about software doesn't mean we suddenly lose the 'no cost' meaning.
Yes precisely. But early stage investors almost never get those kind of protections. How can they possibly not be getting wiped out just a little more with every sky-high valuation round with a preference attached?
I've tried, and it doesn't work so well. I don't think it works for every OS either.

Sounds like we need to make data capture going into the charts much more slick and smooth. I'm thinking of a voice-driven personal assistant using the latest in AI. So you can just tell it what you're doing, and what you're thinking about the patient's problems, and it organizes it automatically, and makes it easy for others to retrieve (via voice).

Adding in some kind of unobtrusive HUD would be awesome too.
