Wow, it's really HTML? That seems crazy to me, for performance and customisability (on Microsoft's end) reasons. Can you share the motivation behind that? Since the Start Menu is obviously not something that needs to be multiplatform, it doesn't require that strength of HTML.

Whatever the reason, it's up to you, but we recommend making it a friendly dick. You can even add a note for that special someone.

All dicks are sent in a very obvious cardboard mailing box with our "Dildo Lord" logo on top and dildo measurements on the side.

I have read Palantir's wiki page and browsed their website and am still not sure what is that they do !
Yes! I read a great comment here (I forgot by whom) that said something like

program *will not* do.

He was arguing against the idea that Turing complete languages should be used in smart contracts. The person mentioned that it's not trivial to even assign a complexity category to the question asked, let alone getting an answer (if you can).
ML involves math. That does not mean it's "applied research," though. The math is mostly at the undergraduate-college-level, and is mostly applied math - except for very theoretical ML/statistics which a practitioner can easily avoid. The math involved straddles an awkward boundary where most undergrad math majors find the math quite simple, but most CS majors would think it's too much math.
It looks like you guys put a lot of work into it. Your main competitor here would probably be Runscope. I would advise creating small API testing tools like Requestb.in (but maybe doesn't expire) to help your platform get more exposure. Another thing that sticks out is your landing page--the sign up form could use more contrast and be bigger.

Can I also ask what software you use for your blog? Congrats on the launch!
That's an interesting way to look at it.

I would argue that Google+ didn't work out because Google was trying to play catch-up in a field that it just lacked knowledge in (social networks).

Whereas with machine learning, they're not playing catch-up, everyone else is. Of all the other tech titans out there, they're the ones really leading the pack.

That remark aside though, I agree with you. An attempt to go hard on machine learning and apply it everywhere will probably work out pretty badly. As fascinating as ML is, I just haven't bothered to learn it yet because I haven't the slightest idea what new and novel problem I'd solve with it that doesn't have a better solution through a more straight-forward approach.
No worries. If you like classical minimalism/ambient music, check out Erik Satie's work, specifically, his three Gymnopédies compositions for piano. If you've played Minecraft, you'll instantly recognize No.1[1].

I'm no fan of Trump and I think its thankfully unlikely he'll be the US President. But if he is President there is this quote from Trump that suggests he has more self-awareness and emotional intelligence than his carefully crafted persona suggests.

"When I'm wounded, I go after people hard and I try to unwound myself."

If failed Presidents have had one thing in common its a failure to recognize their own limitations and failings before or after-the-fact. Again, no fan of the guy, but I think the scare-mongering is overblown.
Also, all you need is one insider kernel developer to get all the source code anyways. I always find these kinds of initiatives silly -- A lot of companies think that an insider is a side-channel attack when really it's the main vector.

It's a second stage SQL injection, and it's very serious.

Here's a contrived example:

At the user creation page the malicious user wants to get admin access.

They have their username be: admin' --

They do this because they are betting on a user named 'admin'.

Their password is: alwaysSanitizeInputs

So, a user is created named "admin' --".

Now, they go in to update their password.

The DB nicely pulls out their username, "admin' --", and it says:

UPDATE users SET password = SHA1('newPassword') WHERE username = 'admin' -- AND password = SHA1('alwaysSanitizeInputs');

So what happens? Well, the user "admin" now has a different password, and the Malicious user knows what it is. That's why you still need to sanitize.
This is stupid. Anyone interested in writing jailbreaks for iOS would have already had access to these binaries. People are blowing this way out of proportion.
That's probably why they have John Carmack on board. Half Life was a mod to his Quake 2. They had a friendly, cooperative relation so far, so I wouldn't worry.
Yeah, the hilarious part of scala hyperpartisans (and i like scala) insisting that SBT is great is when you point out that Maven is declarative and SBT is imperative.. in other words the exact opposite of scala dogma.

My grandfather worked as a structural engineer on the canel. I have old papers with calculations of stress on the concrete, done by hand. http://www.archive.org/details/panama-canal-lock-design-pape...

Anyway, since container ships are driving this expansion, I wonder if this is a case of scaling the old thing up unncessarily when new technology allows a different solution.

Perhaps an overland transport for the containers across the ishthmus? Seems it would depend on the time needed to unload+load a container ship. Transit time through the canal is 8-10 hours, so if a ship can be turned around in that amount of time, it could be economical to not send it through the canal. I've found some indications that a unload+load can be done in 10-12 hours.

If I were going to get an entire dedicated system for mobile gaming, I think a PS Vita or Nintendo 3DS XL would be a better choice -- they're both way cheaper, have dedicated controls for gaming, and have large libraries of purpose-built games. But I'm just not interested in more devices, especially ones I'd have to remember to charge and bring with me. I already have a smartphone, several desktops, two laptops, a Kindle, and an Android tablet. It's enough already.
That's pretty scary about the size issue... that the largest container ships + 2 tugs = the max size of the lock with no wiggle room. If a container ship drifts the tug has no where to go to escape being squashed.
It might've been a 918, or a carrera GT. This was 2 or 3 years ago. I just remember that it was an "absurdly expensive" model, where a regular 911 was cheap in comparison.

Apple continues to open source their version of XNU, although there has been an increasing lag between the release of each OS version and the corresponding sources. The latest available sources are from 10.11.2, three minor versions behind.

Apple has also shifted to pushing a lot of sensitive/proprietary code into kernel extensions (the new Apple File System being one example), for which they don't release source code (generally speaking).
I am not sure if telling it second-handedly would make any sense. Actually, even watching it translated to english hardly would be the same experience. Basically, to any intelligent person it was an obvious joke, but quite a good one. The most powerful part of it wasn't what he was telling, actually, but how he was doing it: you know, some sane-looking person, a fluent, eloquent speaker, is telling something so ridiculous so seriously, that you might even start to question what is true anyway. He uses some clever words, pseudo-scientific side-notes, mis-interpreted quotes, and all the time he looks deadly serious, repeatedly asking the audience: "You see what's going on here? It's absolutely unbelievable!"

To summarize it, it was something like this: he persuades you, that Lenin was heavily abusing psychodelic mushrooms, then, going through some pseudo-scientific gibberish makes a claim, that heavy use of mushrooms led to that a mushroom basically displaced human consciousness, then, by making some random observations "supporting" his claim, makes the statement "Lenin became a mushroom" more and more literal.

Anyway, I would argue that it has nothing to do with Soviet propaganda and such: it was a great performance, but not so different in it's nature from a kind of reasoning in the very modern western propaganda or quasi-documental movies about aliens and such. Only it was mockingly exaggerated on purpose.

Seriously, so much entitlement. If you want to make money selling games, you have to spend a lot in advertising, how much does Clash of Clans and etc spend?

And yes, it's free games with IAP the rules. Because they are designed for kids without credit cards that at most buy iTunes gift cards. And yes, it's jewel and candy games, because that's what there is for girls, which are 50% of the population that the "mainstream gaming" has abandoned.

Yes, in hindsight both of the changes were inevitable. But plenty of people still complained about it. I see the dropping of the analog headphone jack the same way. The move to wireless is inevitable even if a few people still have problems with it it today. The adoption of Bluetooth music streaming in vehicles shows that Bluetooth audio can work perfectly fine. If you had connection and quality issues at some point, I urge you to try again with newer hardware.
I get down voted for sharing some knowledge. What is the point of even posting?

How absolutely British of you to do that for the sheer eccentricity of it.
Just a technicality, but a 1080p display can be considered 'retina' if the display is small enough or typically viewed from a far distance. The display on the iPhone 6 Plus is 1080p. It qualifies as a 'Retina display' because of its high pixel density and the typical viewing distance of 1 foot.
The CI token for a project allows the runner to fetch a repo with basic auth. Would that work?
The replacement is Bluetooth audio. This is definitely where things are heading even if not everyone sees it yet. And it's definitely a better place. If you can stream audio from the Internet to your phone there is no reason you can't stream audio from your phone to a speaker or headset.
How a comment on Hacker News led to 4½ new Unicode characters
I have no solid evidence to help you, but my intuition says this is believable. Pressure waves can travel a long ways in dense media, and it's the interface between media of different densities, such as water of the ocean and the air inside a submarine, where the most devastating effects are felt. Jelly-fish swimming next to a submarine might not feel a thing even while the submariners inside the submarine are being smashed to bits.
Thanks for checking it out and for the tips on the landing page! I'll take a look at those.

I definitely agree on having focused tools and use-cases; the current plan is to work on better and more valuable assertions and integrating that into current workflows (CI, deploy, etc).

The blog is "custom". It uses React.js templates, markdown files for the content, all compiled with webpack. Maybe I'll write something up about how it works.
A move like this fits with a more general ideology Apple has been advocating for the last three years. Privacy, security, and ultruism. Tim Cook has put is mark on the company. One of the first things he did was apologize, (for maps) something unheard of in Apple's culture. I haven't drank the cool-aid and Apple has a lot of issues. I do see they however are making attempts at differentiating from the general corporate behavior of the telecoms and Google. Cook is differentiating from Jobs as well.
In 2008 Peter Norvig was quoted saying there was very little or any machine learning in Search. They found it unreliable.
I have nothing against people being rewarded for doing stuff others enjoy. What I have a problem with is the freemium model that seems to have taken over. It's nothing but greed what some developers are doing. I had quite a few games that I paid for. Then, one day, the app claims that "due to compatibility issues, I need to download The New $game to continue receiving updates". Then you go and look at the "new" version to find it's free and full of IAPs. THAT is nothing but greed.
Also, given enough money available, why ask people to build vulnerabilities in ? Does anyone seriously think Apple's (or anyone's) kernel team doesn't have a single guy/girl that made at least one mistake ?

Can a submarine that is deep underwater launch torpedoes? I didn't think so.

OTOH, a nuke doesn't need to yield several megatons. First devices were about 20 kilotons and it's possible to create smaller ones. I'm sure I've seen some video of 1 kiloton bomb. Also, intuitively, it doesn't seem that it would destroy a sub a few miles away looking at Baker test:

My only complaint is that for home service there is no way to get a public IP address, so you've got to get an external server if you want to access your home computers from elsewhere on the Internet.
The Internet Archive (http://archive.org) is doing the same thing. They have old software stored that you can run in online emulators. I only wish they had instructions for how to use the emulators. The old keyboards and controllers are not like today's.
Because in some countries - like, for example, the Netherlands - creditcards are not a universally used thing. That leaves you with roughly two options for processing payments in a reasonably-easy-to-integrate manner: PayPal and Bitcoin.

And not enough people use Bitcoin to remove PayPal entirely.

EDIT: Yes, I know we have iDeal in the Netherlands. Every single company that processes it alongside other methods is either a nightmare to integrate, charges ridiculous fees, requires significant volume, doesn't do payouts over SEPA, or is similarly problematic as PayPal.

In my particular case, an added problem is that most of them refuse to process donations.

> it wouldn't really be any worse for them than digging up some natural radioactive source.

Really? That would be mostly oxidized uranium - white not really harmless it's something different than highly toxic plutonium - besides that you have extremly toxic decay products that e.g. pose a problem for the chernobyl area.

Besides that there are more than enough isotopes used in nuclear energy that have a half-life of millions of years.

If you look at the history of Europe in the past 2000 years it's not exactly been peaceful - also something to consider - especially as we have the knowledge to use nuclear reactors to weaponize this waste.
Agreed, and I've been waiting over a decade now for the demise of tiresome qualifiers like "ninja" and "on steroids" (we could all add a few, I'm sure). I was really, really tired of "uber", too, but now that one seems here to stay for quite a while longer. Oh, well...
Nothing would stop someone from getting a certificate for the hostname "myfridge" on their LAN, then going to your LAN and using the same one to perform MitM for your "myfridge".

Which brings up an important point that is often lost amongst the "encrypt everything!" "hype" prevalent today: you should be able to MITM the traffic of every device you own, or else you do not really own them and cannot tell what information they are actually communicating. Keep in mind that incidents like the smart TVs spying ( http://arstechnica.com/security/2013/11/smart-tv-from-lg-pho... ) were easily noticed because the data was in plaintext.

When pushing for more security, I think it is extremely important to be aware of all the consequences and pause to think deeply before we end up locking ourselves out of things we own, because by the time we realise, it will be too late.

If the only math you know is up to trig, you're probably multiple years away from getting caught up on the math.

You need to first learn calculus and linear algebra, and learn them very well. I would also recommend having a good understanding of probability. Learning all of these well will take at least a year, if not longer. For instance, I took one year of calculus in high school and then one semester each of linear algebra and probability, which that adds up to two years.

You'll need calculus so you can do optimization (i.e. at the simplest level, take a derivative, set it to 0, and solve. Of course there's more you can do with calculus in Machine Learning). You'll need linear algebra for almost everything in Machine Learning. Lastly, probability will be useful for understanding very basic methods like Naive Bayes[0]. There are other methods built on probability also[1].

If you skimp on learning any of these, you will never be able to understand Machine Learning at a deep level, much less even a shallow level.

There are many new languages to learn and many reasons to choose one over the other. But do any stand out as having a great developer experience?
Even though the risks are enormous, any world power using nuclear weapons would probably need to be exceedingly irrational. World leaders want to stay in power, and continue to rule over their subjects. I don't see it happening, except by:
1) misunderstanding/miscommunication
2) incompetence
3) desperation
4) particularly bloodthirsty individual

Should we be confident?
#1 was witnessed in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (mokusatsu incident)
#2 Incompetence is pervasive in government (i.e. when the Stratfor leaks came, their internal wiki said of the FBI "good at breaking up used car rings. Confused by anything more complicated." Even corporations with close ties to government disparage the powerful 3-letter agencies without counter argument.)
#3 yet to be seen
#4 I hope it is out of the cards
