The Dopamine API finally gives developers a tool to reliably and scalably increase retention and engagement through behavioral reinforcement techniques. It takes the guesswork out of so much of UX design that dictates an application's growth and staying power.
I would say it's quite different to sharing a password as text in Facebook chat - the URL is certainly in your browser history as well as any other place that has logged your GET request.
What good is talent if you can't exercise it? Also you clearly do not get the point of my rebuttal. Also why so hostile?
Garbage in, garbage out.

Robojournalism might be even more ripe for bias, but from its sources rather than the journalist itself. Theoretically part of a journalist's job is to get valuable sources from each side of an argument/story and present them equally. The journalist's footprint should be minimal. As we all know, that is increasingly less the case.
What you don't know at this moment is whether they've filed for a trademark or not. They are likely another "huge domains" and only care to sell the domain but not the brand.

You did quick searches on domain registrar sites but did not register right away. This happened to me as well with nutrikey.com - not even 3 hours after searching it was scooped up by a squatter. A secret from a CTO friend of mine: big domain registrars sell search queries to squatters.

So my advice; if you're adamant about a .com, find an alternative name then create a DBA from your LLC.

It's also about having very correct details in this case.

If she had bothered to apply for the correct VISA there wouldn't have been an issue, but they clearly feel they are a special little snowflake because animation API is more important than a standardised work VISA system.

I'm sorry but I strongly disagree with your assertion. Honesty and preparation IS the best policy. Imagine if I'd lied when I was detained in Tampa because of some missing clearance the US Embassy in London had forgotten to do. I had to wait hours in a holding area. I'd paid $200 USD for that. One little lie and the situation would have been far worse.
I think the op is saying they wouldn't be interested in the story at all if it wasn't a white woman protagonist.
Incisive post, thanks. More nails for the coffin.

Ever as I gain more experience with 1s and 0s, I find a greater appreciate for and a greater draw to my front porch.

Without going into neuroscience, physics, chaos theory, and what not, by acknowledging and embracing that I am human and not some abstract distributed, computing network, and by accepting the consequences of that, my life grows richer.
To be honest though, just because you can get by without knowing how hash maps are implemented, doesn't mean it isn't useful to know - and if another candidate does know, they would sooner hire them.

Further, they may be looking for factors that correlates with other, hard-to-measure factors. Even such as reading a "common interview questions" book - it correlates with focused pragmatism...
"If you don't know enough SQL to do a join, it's because you lack intellectual curiosity. "

Both cases involved deliberate actions by the defendants classified as illegal, hence the conviction.

As commented by others, F# was part of Microsoft Research, and not taken up by MS or other corporations when it was started.

Erlang started out in Ericsson, a corporation. Elixir and LFE (Lisp Flavored Erlang) started out opensource and are still opensource.

The term 'corporate self-interest' seems misplaced here, with the parenthetical remark turning it into the antonym of 'open-source'. The term proprietary, commercial or close-sourced seem more neutral and correct.

Erlang started inhouse at Ericsson, like F# did at MS Research, except it was for a company's immediate business needs or 'self-interest' to program their telecomm switches.

Elixir grew out of one person's frustration with Ruby's concurrency (Jose Valim), and a desire to have what Erlang offered him along with the BEAM VM and OTP. It has Ruby-like syntax, Jose is a popular Rubyist, and great tooling along with some other functional structures Jose added that he thought were missing in Erlang. [2]

Pony is an OO, actor-based, open source language, yet it has a lot of corporate pickup from fintech and others, and it seems to be getting ready to shove Erlang/Elixir/LFE aside on concurrency and speed. It has fully-concurrent garbage collection that doesn't use the "poison pill" message approach to kill all actors.

The creator of Pony, Sylvan Clebsch, has one foot in academia, and the other in business. He has worked on fintech, milsims, and games. [3]

Yes, there's two frameworks in the kernel that now have some overlap: ftrace (incl. hist triggers) and perf_events (which can incl. BPF). But it's not a case where they magically got included. Initially they didn't really have overlap: ftrace was doing tracing, and perf_events was doing PMC stats. But they grew over time (especially perf) to the point where there was some overlap. This was noticed and has been discussed, and argued about. Eg, see the later half of https://lwn.net/Articles/442113/. At some point Steven Rostedt, ftrace author, had said:

> Now that perf has entered the tracing field, I would be happy to bring the two together. But we disagree on how to do that. I will not drop ftrace totally just to work on perf. There's too many users of ftrace that want enhancements, and I will still support that. The reason being is that I honestly do not believe that perf can do what these users want anytime in the near future (if at all). I will not abandon a successful project just because you feel that it is a fork.

Hist triggers is an enhancement to ftrace, not its own thing. BPF is a kernel facility originally designed for network I/O, that can also be used by ftrace and perf.

But yes, why not just one unified project? Such a project could bring in the experts from the other external tracing projects too (SystemTap, LTTng, ktap, sysdig, ...). Well, for better or for worse, Linux isn't a company, and Linus isn't its CEO. Scott McNealy, CEO of Sun while DTrace was developed, was fond of the saying:

> all the wood behind one arrow

For an April fool's prank, Sun staff put a giant wooden arrow through his office window. http://www.slideshare.net/brendangregg/from-dtrace-to-linux/...

If Linux was actually Linux Microsystems, the CEO could pick one tracing project and all teams would either toe the company line or leave. But we don't have that.

What we have, including external tracers, is a mess. There's too many tracers. And this becomes a tax on contributors who want to help fix the problem. Which one should you pick? Better lean the pros and cons of them all, which is no easy task.

Fortunately we're getting enhanced BPF, which does everything, so the tracing mess will finally have an end. Hist triggers was a surprise. It would have been a slam dunk before enhanced BPF existed, but now?? I suppose I understand it as an ftrace enhancement, and not its own thing.
Also: as a reminder, the UK has long been concerned about people smuggling arms and the like for the sake of terrorism: the majority of arms used by the IRA originated in the US for decades before 9/11 (after which the US supply largely dried up, as did US funding of such terrorist groups).
The context is 2$/day, it's not exactly fair to suggest people hire some dudes with helicopters.
Mine too. Though I've never been sure why PowerPoint is so much more capable for this than Publisher. When creating resources I intend to be printed I've had to make things in PowerPoint then copy them over after finding out Publisher doesn't have the feature I need but PowerPoint does.
News articles should absolutely be almost JS-free. The current status of news sites is ridiculous. But this page is an interactive visualization, so it makes sense to use JS. The JS debate isn't an all-or-nothing argument. Documents should be documents. Apps should be apps. Interactions that are more complicated than simple documents require some JS.
I would love to read up on this topic in an article without an overt agenda though.

I would highly suggest that you (and others) should read the Office of the Inspector General's recent report itself: https://oig.state.gov/system/files/esp-16-03.pdf

When Hollywood trots out an endless procession of superhero sequels dumbed down for a global audience you can complain about greed and lament that they've run out of ideas.

Forgive my ignorance, but is there something like word2vec but for images- like an image2vec? In terms of text processing, word2vec is one of the best approaches. So can't you describe the features of images using neural networks and then vectorize them using word2vec?

Its been acouple years since my computer vision course (was my favorite course in university) but isn't SIFT a bit '99? Aren't there better methods now such as neural networks for feature description?

Typically, about $1500 - $2000 per patent granted.
As a rule answers have to be as general as possible. The more specific information you give them voluntarily, the more they can find something to latch on and make your life miserable.

Leave it up to them to ask more details. I wasn't a speaker at my last conference, but I could have been. But my conversation at the border was something like: "Why are you visiting Canada?" / "To go to a conference" / "Where is the conference?" / "Downtown" / "How long will you stay?" / "3 days" / "Ok, welcome to Canada".

Providing biometrics at the Border is still at some level okay, of course, assuming that their data security can be trusted.

At VFS Global, however, I see the "visa interviewer"[0] struggling to handle the computers, and can't help but be worried about how they'll be transmitting and storing that data. My personal experience with Indian firms handling data hasn't been good and I certainly do not trust them[1].

Perhaps if Holmes weren't a photogeneic young white woman, she wouldn't have received the same attention from VC and immensely influential U.S. political players, which would also reduce the amount of media attention she ultimately got. Hard to separate the variables from this equation.

Heck, many apps are even stupider and query the entire dataset from the DB, do paging in code

I would only expect to see something like this at a company with glacial bureaucracy because that's a technique that was already garbage in 2007 when I had to babysit an app whose devs decided to retrieve a user's entire object graph whenever doing a User#show.

10sec load times are similiarly the domain of the DMV and trivial hobby apps on a free Heroku.

At the risk of exposing myself as an FB user and thus older than 25, I think a better example for discussion is FB's wall sort: "Top Stories" vs. "Most Recent." If you're like me, you like "Most Recent," but Zuck has his own ideas about how I should live my life and will switch me back to "Top Stories" anywhere from 6 to 24 hours after my last visit. You cannot hard-set your wall to "Most Recent." Educated me would think that sorting by date descending is the O(nlogn)-iest of sorts, yet here we are, with Big Data Massage turning out to be a forced default.

Point being, I hope: it's not just a choice between 10s loads and the elimination of features. The difference is rarely that stark, and with simple attribute sorts (even multiple) should be nigh-on unnoticeable.

Except sometimes you can't simply add an index, because you're displaying a calculated value and only calculate it for the page you're displaying. In order to sort by that value, you have to calculate for the entire system, so now you're into O(n^2) or worse complexity. You can also denormalize or pre-cache calculated values in some way (even going as far as adding something like ElasticSearch on top), but that introduces another dimension of problems (expensive updates, more potential for bugs and/or stale data).

I have a heuristic that if you're doing temp tables and derived values and whatnot, you're edging into reporting, so denormalizing and aggregating makes a lot of sense for that.

Apologies if I've ranted entirely past your point!

Many SSDs are built with extra, inaccessible, capacity, for wear leveling purposes (of course, I don't know of any SSD manufacturers selling unlock codes for the extra storage). Lithium ion batteries similarly degrade with use. Perhaps an unlocked S60's battery will age better, which would be better for buyers in the long run. Tesla also sells preowned cars, so if extra capacity helps with wear, this would also help on that front (and introduce the possibility of selling the unlock twice?).

ALSO there's that pesky employment contract that REQUIRED the person to sign over any inventions made while employed at the company. It's not just about greed for a patent bonus.

NOTE TO LAWYERS: if you are contesting a patent (especially a software or business method patent), consider contacting the inventor and asking them if they would be willing to testify that the invention WAS obvious to anyone skilled in the relevant field. I imagine that quite a few WOULD be willing to so testify, and hearing that testimony from the named inventor might be particularly persuasive to a judge or jury.

Ask HN: Hiding from surveillance-cameras
I was reading the book "Influx" from Daniel Suarez which describes a lot of current and futuristic technologies. (all his 4 books are great btw when you are into tech/surveillance topics)

At one point the character wants to avoid being captured by surveillance cameras and puts on specific googles. Here is the excerpt: "...The device consists of goggles punctuated by near-infrared LEDs emitting at roughly eight hundred fifty nanometers, which can be found in common motion sensors. This light is invisible to the human eye but matches the spectral sensitivity of CMOS or CCD cameras or other silicon-based photo detectors. When placed around the face, these make it impossible to obtain accurate measurements on the spacing and shape of a subject’s facial features..."

Is this just a fictive description or one that could actually work...maybe is already available somewhere? (10/10 would buy)
Keep in mind, this was a white American detained for some arbitrary visa restrictions which is a rarity. Middle Eastern individuals are very frequently put in the 'corral of shame' for reasons unbeknownst to them. I can't recall how many times I've been randomly searched, or have had officers keep an eye on me. I've also occasionally put through interrogations by irate border patrol over the mundane minutiae of my travel. Her entire ordeal is one I've faced several times solely based off my appearance and name.

These acts and laws only give legitimacy to discriminate and harass travellers of certain backgrounds, yet failing to add any measure of security.

No one is asserting that someone taking 100 level calculus is going to self-teach => publishing in algebraic geometry. I agree that your first hump correctly describes the first barrier. I assert that a lateral movement in 'sufficiently different' subsets of mathematics will provide an additional hump within the space of knowledge, quantified by a magnitude of eh maybe > 2/3s minimum. Going from comb. to alg. geo. is amazingly hard; hard enough, I suggest, that it's the equivalent of modern day 'self-teaching', given the large corpus of knowledge one has to attain[1]. I assert it'd take at least ~2 years for one to move from combinatorics to an understanding of say, Sheaf Theory circa 1950 (up to Serre) unless you're one of those rare guys like Tao who can jump from field to field (ugh pun not intended).

[1]http://matt.might.net/articles/phd-school-in-pictures/ Getting published in the J. of Top. is being on the arc (perhaps, even deforming the disc in R^2 heh heh). Being able to move laterally s.t. your findings substantial enough they are accepted into the J. of Alg. Geo. requires a requires such an absurdly large lateral movement along the arc that it's a feat analogous in difficulty to self-teaching oneself up until say the 1920s.
