Maybe the current feature set is enough; it is what the customer bought after all.

ML algos can be pretrained before shipment and the model baked into the device. Online training can be gamed just like search optimization games Google search; in fact it is a pretty big security hole.

And modern SQL at all - http://use-the-index-luke.com/blog/2015-02/modern-sql
Slick is the coolest ORM I have ever used. The way it lifts SQL types into Scala code is something I have never seen done elsewhere.

That being said it was also one of the hardest libraries for me to learn. The docs are okay but it seemed like I found more features in peoples github repos that were not documented on the Slick website.

:( the name of the article
He admits he hasn't witnessed a levitation himself ...

(I have not witnessed a levitation myself, but half a dozen people
I work with vow that they’ve seen it in the course of
their exorcisms.)

... yet he presents the fact of levitation as "evidence" further on, because he simply accepts the word of people who say they've seen these supernatural events.

As a man of reason, I’ve had to rationalize the seemingly irrational.
Questions about how a scientifically trained physician can believe
“such outdated and unscientific nonsense,” as I’ve been asked,
have a simple answer. I honestly weigh the evidence.

I have been told simplistically that levitation defies the
laws of gravity, and, well, of course it does! We are not dealing
here with purely material reality, but with the spiritual realm.

He honestly weighs evidence he's never seen? "Levitation," along with the other parlor tricks the doctor describes, have been the mainstay of psychics, con-artists and magicians for centuries. Everything he describes is a trick that people can go to Las Vegas and pay to see, and everything else is speculation.

Physician, heal thyself.
> I don't like email marketing either, but it works ridiculously well. No marketer would do what you're suggesting.

Note that the framework is not necessarily for the average person, who would respond in a certain way to your average email marketer. It is ostensibly "Built for devs who hate bloat."

Tricking someone into signing them up for a newsletter they didn't sign up for by way of a beta invite form is bloat of the malicious sort. I would say that while marketing to your target group, it is something you should avoid.
This article seems like click bait. There are no references to any case studies or patients. Also, despite psychiatry being grounded in the objective, there is still a subjective level of interpretation in the results. "Misunderstanding Psychiatry (and Philosophy) at the Highest Level" (http://www.psychiatrictimes.com/articles/misunderstanding-ps...) is a good article about this.
I'm very skeptical of this article. Has any of his patients been reviewed by other reputable psychiatrists? To actually verify his claims, experiments with statistical data would need to be completed, and the results would need to be peer-reviewed.

I'd prefer Windows as a guest OS too, but not at the expense of losing native performance.

Granted, Windows makes for a fairly terrible host operating system when you have to reboot it frequently on account of updates.
Maybe LIGO will find lots of black hole mergers there.
A more sensible solution would be to convert all fixed elements into "position: absolute" ones. That is less prone to cause errors and avoids impeding navigation.
Richard Feynmann was trying to argue probabilistically about the possible existence of a counterexample to FLT. To do this, he more or less tries to put a probability value on the event "a counterexample exists". The problem is that his kind of reasoning is similar to the probability of an event such as "x = 42". Counterexamples to FLT may, a priori, be as rare as the number 42 is within the integers, i.e. with probability tending to zero as you consider larger and larger sets of integers. But a very small probability of a counterexample, even a probability that tends to zero, does not mean a counterexample doesn't exist anymore than it says that 42 doesn't exist.

Wow, even though I despise all this "geeky" culture as represented on, say, xkcd, this one magazine is actually quite awesome. "Is the Great Attractor a TTGL?", "The biology of giant war centipedes", etc — this stuff is actually fun to read.

Funny that they accept only manuscripts submitted "as a Microsoft Word document" though.

Why? Words can have more than one meaning.
To some degree both Apple and Google seem to be pushing towards that. In iOS 10 your phone/tablet talks directly to home devices, and if you have an Apple TV it allows secure tunneling (e.g., talking to your devices via the always-on Apple TV). Ditto Google is working on similar things, though the precise plans are a bit more uncertain.

An "actual" home server in the form of a computer in a closet is IMO incredibly unlikely. Piggy-backing this functionality into an existing always-on device seems much more likely for mass adoption.

The big issue is that IoT manufacturers will be fighting this tooth and nail. Nobody wants to be a commodity IoT manufacturer, and so all of them will try to push their own (shitty) cloud platforms as value-adds and avoid commoditization.

Similar to how Android OEMs keep crufting up a perfectly fine OS in a futile bid to prevent commoditization. It won't work, but they will try.

I can't tell if I am about to accuse you of failure of vision, but if I end up doing so, it isn't intended in an mean-spirited way.

I'm an engineer. I build things. If somebody needs a motor or a control system or a marijuana distiller or a laser printer postscript engine kanji-to-scanalizer, that's what I get hired to do.

Recently, I was hired by a residential-to-light-commercial construction engineering company. They get plots and plats and architectural designs and collect their own soil samples and have to generate slabs and framing plans. Pretty mundane, but a lot of their process is done by hand, and they wanted to automate it.

During the process, it becomes apparent that a big component is soil - on the foundation. 30 year insurance plans on how much the foundation gets distorted by ... well, in some areas, ... rainfall.

It turned out (this is a few years ago now, so now we have data) that moister causes expansion and contraction. That causes the foundation to flex and fail. It also turns out that, one can measure the flexing with sensors, report back to the data-munging mother ship, and tell the sprinker system to water more or water less and ... save foundation cracks.

Now, yes, I know that this is nothing more than adding WiFi for ~1$, as you say. But it's a pretty big business value that works all up and down the value chain for how 30 year costs and risks and layoffs get allocated for entire subdivisions. I guess I'm not disagreeing with you - I guess I'm saying that, I agree, but, that's still a lot of value.
Ah got it, that all makes sense. Thanks for the response! :)
To misquote another noted psychiatrist: "sometimes a goth is just a goth"

The public interest in "possession" seems to be rising linearly with the practitioners of exorcism. This doctor seems to condemn exorcists of different faiths though - the horrific re-birth deaths that are a throwback to "if she dies, then she wasn't a witch, so it's ok because her soul is good" - without producing any evidence that non-catholic exorcism has a greater success rate.

As an aside, there's is a whole slew of similar click bait medical articles on WaPo, which seems really out of character for an established news source...
Coincidentally, I was watching a fleet of three garbage trucks going though my neighborhood this week, wondering if the impact of running 3x garbage trucks to pick up trash, compost, recycyling was completely offset by the end product. I suspect the answer is no.
These are their tenants rather than their conclusions.

And arguing against the tenants of a belief system is likely fruitless.

"Google entered game early in 2008 with App Engine. Very powerful"

Empirical observations show that Google never managed to (or never tried to) make App Engine meet the general customers' needs for building their applications. Of cuz, that does not include Snapchat.

Is it because Google did not invest enough, or Google failed to educate and/or engage developers, or Google made a wrong assumption that App Engine would eventually catch up, there is no clear answer.

So overall, I do not think App Engine is 'powerful'. Sure, it has fancy feature and advanced designs. But that does not make something powerful. A powerful tool is one that help users do more with higher efficiency, or enable users to do things that otherwise is impossible or too costly. App Engine might be able to do that, but it was not proved to be true in general.
i've noticed a lot of these same off-by-one errors in MobaXTerm, too.
He sounds reasonable enough at the start. Then I start to worry when he gets to what you mention ("others i trust said it, so it must be true"), but he completely looses any credibility when he refers to the "demons are too smart to be recorded". That's just laughable. And sad. Now someone will have to waste their time debunking this guy.

It would be the most incredible discovery ever if there was proof of spirits outside our world or life after death. But sadly, all attempts to this point have not turned out to be reputable.
"They knew what made developers happy (free/cheap to start, great API and documentation, scales well) and took the time to build solid infrastructure."

I think most big tech companies know "what made developers happy". Microsoft did, Oracle did, Google did. The difference is that Amazon decided that they want to shared with the developers their secrets, and apparently many other companies do not think in that way.

As for speaking in tongues, glossolalia is a well documented (non-supernatural) phenomenon: http://skepdic.com/glossol.html, usually associated with mental illness.

As for the hidden knowledge claims, the author should have consulted James Randi, who during his career, always managed to boil such fantastic claims down to sometimes ingenious and sometimes hilariously simple techniques used by the "practitioner". AFAIK, he never lost his $1 million bet.

Dumping is a losing game for the dumper. It's nearly as bad as paying someone to buy your products. It only "works" as long as you keep paying, things revert to normal when you stop paying. Meanwhile, the dumpees are better off at your expense.
Yeah, I'm writing this without having first-hand experience regarding the current performance of Windows 10 as a guest. Apparently VMWare has good support for it, but searching for reviews on the actual performance only turns up a bunch of confusing, outdated rants.

Is There Anything Good About Men? [Roy F. Baumeister]
It seems like there's two potential definitions of "Israel" here that you're confusing:
1. "A Jewish state"
2. "A Jewish state located in the area formerly known as Palestine"

While I agree with you that believing that #1 shouldn't exist is anti-Semitic, I don't see how #2 is necessarily anti-Semitic, especially if the person expressing that view is Palestinian. I believe the Kurds also deserve their own state, but I don't see how that means that, say, the United States is obligated to give them Texas to start one in order to not be anti-Kurdish.

In any case, I, personally, don't believe in any country's "right" to exist. I'm not against any particular country's existence, I just don't think the term "right" applies to it. So am I anti-Semitic for extending that general belief to Israel, too?

Galaxy Note 7 Will Have a Back Screen?
Raspberry Pi's SOC has had ARM TrustZone support right from the beginning (I'm pretty sure, definitely in recent models). I don't know if we can rely on crypto secure unique keys having been burned at some stage inside every Pi (Not sure if that'd be done by Broadcom or 'Pi?), but the "too expensive" argument seems unsound...

(I fully expect to read soon about some Chinese manufactured IoT device where every single one if millions manufactured has an identical MAC, GUID, and TrustZone private key...)

I agree that it's not science, but exorcism could still be therapy. If someone has a condition that has the same symptoms described for demonic possession, an exorcism might just cure it. Though antidepressants might also work.

After reading "A new way to be mad" and a bit of Ian Hacking's other work, I had wondered if demonic possession might be similar to "mad travel" and multiple personality disorder, diagnosable psychological conditions that seem to have disappeared.
That sounds nice, but it's empirically untrue.
i mean if you read https://github.com/jruby/jruby 's README i would think someone would have done that for golang by now no?
The problem is separable in that it is conceptually possible to make organisation for software development independent of the business organisation that uses it. We've had this in the past, we have it now, though typically in smaller pieces. It's largely how Unix was developed (an unlikely consortium of a company which quite literally wasn't allowed to sell the product, but could make use of it, and a group of academic institutions in need of both computing tools and training projects), Usenet, the WWW, Linux, Apache, Debian, and more.

Your point that many Free Software projects make little money (at least as Free Software projects) misses the more salient point that they generally don't need to. Scratching itches, low barriers to collaboration, and solving problems in other application spaces makes this possible.

The giants' very reliance on vast revenue flows is also a vulnerability.

And no, I'm not arguing that costs disappear (though efficiencies do appear), but rather that they're distributed and loaded throughout numerous other organisations and activities making money on their own.

The "90-99% of buyers" problem is precisely why you look at funding alternatives which bypass per-copy market sales. I've been looking into the history of publishing and creative works, it's an interesting space. Patronage, busking/performing, crown sanction (essentially a content tax), BBC tax, etc. Information goods and markets interact very poorly: https://redd.it/2vm2da

(UC Berkely / Google economist Hal Varian has an extremely similar treatment which I ran across recently.)

The detachable headphones and mics comment was a reference to an earlier exchange we had, I thought you might recall it.

Your bust-out-of-the-box model isn't too far from what I'm suggesting for content tax/syndication. Whether voluntary (free-rider problem) or compulsory (politically difficult but possibly inevitable) you're distributing contribution to a shared resource. Much as, say, we ended up with language or the law.

Patent threats are also somewhat diminished through small pockets (less attractive target), or might be addressed specifically via legislation and/or international treaty. Say, something with a different philosophy than the TTP, TTIP, TiSA, and BITS crud being shoved down our throats by Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, AT&T, et al.
> The question is, if ASCII wouldn't be a requirement, what would be a modern set of primitives, efficient as the tool for thought.

I love this question.

Moving from APL to J is really a step backward in terms of notation. With unicode standard flourishing, we might finally see something that can improve upon the mathematical notation we use and make instructing computers easier. I don't think anyone would be able to answer though… Perhaps one could extend APL symbols to cover all of the J primitives?
Bangalore, India. Many Positions. Full time.

I have taken up a role to build a payment network from scratch, out of Bangalore, India. It is funded by a big corporation, but will be arms-distance from their central business.

It is a large, complex and fascinating problem to crack. The potential to bring banking to 600 million un/underbanked Indians is what excited me to work on this.

We are looking to hire a good core team of full time math, physics and CS majors, UI UX and product managers, who will work of Bangalore, India.

We are open to hiring people from around the world but they will need to work out of Bangalore.

Looking for full time and in exceptional cases, consultants, welcome.

I have posted and have hired a few good candidates from Who's Hiring threads.

Since my first post, we have now released a product and also secured a payment bank license.

We also have our payment network baked into banks and mass transit.

In the past I have built both fast-data and big-data companies and have a few patents in this space.

If you are interested, please email me at google's email service - takenottie.

Thanks for reading.

Off-topic, but why do random comments have no downvote arrow? Not that I'm at all inclined to downvote anybody, but guessing some kind of web glitch showing up. Thought I should mention it.

Edit: the downvote anchor is completely missing in random fashion. Didn't notice the problem in other topics.
You mean like this: https://github.com/grubby/grubby
Downvote arrows disappear after the time window for downvoting is up, and that time window is shorter than for upvoting. Also, no one can downvote direct replies to themselves.

It's better to send questions like this to hn@ycombinator.com, though, as the site guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) ask.
