Yes, but doing it in augmented reality means that casino A could put ads _inside_ of casino B.

Just imagine casino A would pay some guys to carry advertising sign inside of casino B. Those guys would be removed instantly.

Or let's say somebody creates a AR game where you can leave signs with random texts everywhere. And then somebody decides to plant a sign with "OP is bundle of sticks" on your property. In the real world you can just remove the sign and call the cops, but what would you do in the AR world?

If there will be too much shenanigans I can see that in the future your real property boundary might translate into the virtual AR world.
As a Swede I can only agree
> No, it really isn't. The fact that you can change does not mean that people will change. Defaults and all kinds of tie-ins have led to google being the way in which people navigate the web.

"The fact that you can change..." - Isn't this the very definition of "voluntary"?

I don't understand this logic. People are too lazy/ignorant to switch to a different search engine, and that gives them right to tel google what to do with their product?
I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by that either.

Not true. Private sector blows money on bullshit all the time. That's that lucrative, enterprise market you hear about. They'll sometimes spend extra for quality or availability. Stratus Computers and HP NonStop come to mind. Orreck vacuums haha.

They just usually won't do it for security. So, you have to sell high-security as part of some other product with benefits they want that justifies the expense. Security appliances were my obvious choice. Sentinel HYRDA, Secure64 DNS, Sirrix TrustedDesktop, & Samsung KNOX are all examples where they try to sell something useful to businesses with extra assurance embedded in there. I also thought a database or ERP package might pull it off. Subsidize the TCB development at least since enterprises expect the exhorbitant licensing. Shit, make it run PostgresSQL underneath with your "database" just being the front-end on a high-security appliance. ;) Funny enough, I used to design and build stuff like that via Seaview & LDV architectures.

I think you may have misunderstood the article.

There were two tests, one to distinguish strad from modern, one to score which instrument musicians liked best. In the first, they didn't get 31 of 33 wrong, they got 33 wrong and 31 right, virtually a 50/50 split. In the preference test, modern violins placed first and second, with the top place substantially above the others, though the article doesn't give the full score breakdown.
My parents met at a Philip Glass concert and actively encouraged me to listen to Sun Ra. I've known all along that my taste is an extension of theirs. Thanks, mom & dad.
"And also when you're buying speakers it's very common to be shown the same set of speakers three times and have three opinions."

I've noticed with sensory inputs in general that the things that impress you immediately, and the things that impress you once your brain has adjusted to the input and has settled in, are different. For the visual example, observe the difference between the settings on the TVs in the store vs. what the community will generally agree is the optimal long-term setting for your TV. Also, while the first ten minutes of a 3D movie may be pretty whiz-bang, I've generally stopped noticing it's in 3D by the end.

I think in both cases, our initial preferences are for something sharper and exaggerating the differences, but over the long term that becomes quite tiring. A case could probably be made even for smell; in the store the strong, unusual perfume may be very impressive but if you are going to use it all day long, I prefer to be around people who use something a lot more subtle.
They do pretty well if you keep both the carts and the console clean. I have an original that works as well as it did when it was new. You had to blow on the games then too. :-) (By keep them clean I mean that you have to actively clean them periodically.)
More likely it's just a regular Famiclone chip seen as that would cost a fraction of the price shipping even a "lite" version of 3DS internals
It could also be a boon for developing open-source software that requires complex dependencies and significant resources.

I'm curious about the reasons for not upgrading to Windows 10 since it's free and likely to be better supported.

Deep Learning Demystified [video]
Except, apparently, the perception that Google manipulates search to its own ends. You'd think that would incentivize people to go elsewhere.

So the alternatives are that it's an awareness problem, or (if it's not, as you're asserting) that people know and don't care, in which case forcing Google to change policy seems like it wouldn't actually be a move benefiting the people. Why restrict a business practice that most people don't actually think is bad?

(So I think lack of awareness is more likely, personally).

Pro tip for Final Fantasy that I still remember:
One of the easiest parties to play through the game with is 3 Fighters and 1 Red Mage. You can get through most of the fights with minimal damage, and the Red Mage has what you need for boss fights and the occasional enemy that is strong against physical damage but weak against certain magic. You'll find yourself never needing to buy 99 potions.
These rules are not just about correctness in the sense that "This code's computations are accurate" but also in the sense that "This code's performance is constant and predictable". Haskell helps with the first sense, but not really the second, from what little experience I have.

This formatting doesn't match the rest of HN which makes it difficult to read. Is this a bug somewhere?
Because Google has such a huge market share in search that they can noticeable damage competition.
If I understand you correctly, the point you are making is the question of obligation. Is Google obliged to us? Well, no, private company, other search engines available, etc. I contend, however, that being a publicly financed entity is not the only path by which a company can, or at any rate should, become obligated to a public. Funds are not the only resource that a public can provide. A public also provides trust, without which a private company wouldn't make money, because the public won't use your product. That trust in my view is public a resource. And acquiring it is important to Google's business, which is why Google wasn't skewing search results in 2000, which is why Facebook wasn't mucking around with the Timeline in 2009. They had the freedom to do it then. Why didn't they? Because the outcome for us, and hence for them, would have been different. We hadn't "invested" our trust in them back then. Now we have, and they can't just fuck around with it just because private company, other brands are available, etc. Google isn't built on their brilliance only, it's built on our usage of their brilliance, and they can't act like we aren't invested in it. We didn't put any of our money in it, but money is not the only thing that a public puts, or could put, in companies. Are we Google owners? No. But are we Google stake holders? Yes we are, hence our demand they don't skew results in favor of some thing or other. I didn't sign up for that, and if I hadn't signed up, Google wouldn't be, would it? Can we resolve this by education? No, because Rome wasn't built in a day. If the govt wanted to shut Google down, can you imagine people protesting? I can. Why, and they don't own Google? Because they're stake holders.

> Does it need to be mentioned? It seems obvious that they be comparing with the best, not comparing with the $20 Friday Special from Joe's Discount Violins and Sheet Metal.

I think so. "Modern instruments" is a very wide span, and leaving it off lets people conclude what they want about the instruments. See, for instance, other commenters concluding that this proves they're junk, or comparing them to $2000 cables equivalent in effectiveness to $5 cables. Instead, these are $million instruments, with hundreds of years of history, and also sound as good as very expensive modern instruments.
For $200, you would expect to be able to use your camera as you wish and be able to record on the local network.

Putting aside the discussion on Skype, I was answering your "I have no idea why one could find single-window more usable" from my point of view, that is, a newbie user doing the occasional edit/filter/crop.

For such a casual use case, yes I find the single-window mode more usable.

Slightly off-topic, but useful as an anecdotal example: This kind of thing is why people prefer Google.

We had search engines with magic symbols prior to Google. People don't like learning magic search language; finding the right shibboleth of qualifiers, excluders, and "near-word" matches feels a lot like doing the search engine's job for it. Most people seem to prefer Google's approach of making a guess at what you want based on past search history.

This doesn't mean DDG can't succeed. But in addition to their selling point of not remembering your search history and having a mechanically-tunable query, they may want to consider offering a search-history "smart" search at some point in the future.

I've been using Linux (Well only Ubuntu and Fedora to be fair) without any kind of dual boot to Windows set up for like 5 years now. Before that, I always used to have a Windows installation along with the Linux OS. But as I started getting comfortable with Linux, I just didn't feel like booting up Windows. The only thing I miss is the availability and the performance of games on Linux machines. Also used to have driver issues when I started but almost everything works out of the box now. Currently on Ubuntu 16.04.

Agreed - the infrastructure for living that lifestyle is much better established in SE asia. I think it's perfectly feasible to do it successfully here, but there's much less of a history of people doing it.
News today is such a waste of time. Live news is an even bigger waste.

The reporting, the outrage, the novelty, the opinions are all so over the top one would think, the lack of value produced would actually cause the entire news system to fall apart.

But instead I see more and more people just jumping in to prop these models of outrage, unqualified opinion, celebrity culture and worship up. Its all very sickening.
Is there pretty universal agreement on this? I've been around a while but still have the "meh, the words are interchangeable" view.
Well, I guess they do have a longer history if you count arcade games too. You're probably right on that front.
I had the same use case as OP. Cloud 9 was an awesome way to start out, but we indeed switched to a VM solution.

I see — your experience suggests that rules inevitably get turned into thoughtlessly evaluated metrics that then get gamed.

It is a shame when that happens, but when it does, it's not the fault of the rules, it's the fault of the organizational culture. The rules would still be valuable if you used them thoughtfully and with the aim of improving the reliability of the product, not gaming some management system.
I bet nobody gets keys and values mixed up, even though it's basically exactly that distinction. Far from pedantic, in my view! If you don't know the difference I do think you'll have difficulty using the features effectively.

And if you do know the difference, which most will, it's worth knowing the standard terms. There's only two of them, and it won't take long to commit them to memory.

I supposed you could have an object with an INVALID flag, which the loop can use in its logic?

A question more out of unfamiliarity more than anything, but is the market for at-home security cameras really that large? Then to overlap that with the market that can afford to pay the $10+/month to support it, I would guess you run kind of low on customers?

I mean I guess not since the product is coming to market -- I just personally don't know of anyone who uses one.

Precisely :)
Growing up, I still remember articles about the "lost art of making violins" and how there was all this speculation about what made them so special. Was it a chemical or fungus in the river the logs were floated in? Some lost technique? A particular sequence of aging, resting, bending the wood?

Turns out it's none of that and just branding (albeit branding around having a great product at that point in history).
For your use case, I have no doubt :) . For my casual editing needs, though, I'm happy with a simple(r) single-window mode. Nowhere to get lost, everything in one place.
Cheap prices for the customer equal low pay and bad working conditions for the producer. Same is true of Wal-Mart... look into all those Chinese mega-factories where all that stuff is produced.

It's one of the core paradoxes of economics. I want a cushy job with great pay, but when I go shopping I implicitly want everyone else to have a shitty job with low pay. There's a name for this paradox but I'm forgetting it right now.

It's very similar to the paradox of thrift: it's in my interest to save, but for me to save someone else must be spending. If everyone saves nobody can save.

Almost everything in economics is a paradox since there are two columns in accounting-- every transaction has a counter-party. It's bizarre for something not to be a paradox in economics.
No, a Strad is like finding a pair of speakers from the 1950s that are just as good as the best modern audiophile ones.
Good point. It's obvious to me, but given the comments about audio cables and such, clearly other people don't automatically get it.
The words are definitely not interchangeable, but you can probably say "parameter" most of the time, and people will figure out from context whether you mean a parameter or an argument. I'm a lot less certain this applies to "argument".

(You could also say something like "parameter value"... VC++ calls parameters "formal parameters" and arguments "actual parameters", for example.)
This is an excellent resource for a new startup such as my own. We're interested in evaluating the less-tangible choices that need to occur to develop company culture, and this helps us see these options very clearly. I hope more companies follow suit!
I don't know for sure, but if I had to guess, it's that they are on relatively new, uncommon, or limited architectures for which a variety of compilers just don't exist. Many other compilers depend on being bootstrapped through C and many other runtimes depend on some subset of standard C library functions. Also if you stick to a certain part of C and write very simple code, it can be safe and more importantly very predictable. In embedded usage, you need to know that the execution time can fall within a bound. It can also be important to shy away from getting too high level in architecture or concept because that can hide complex but catastrophic logical bugs.
my only blocker for migrating a legacy application to DRF is because it doesnt have support for nested routes (and I have to use a third party package).

> That's an illusion. DuckDuckGo works at the scale that it currently has achieved. If it were to serve even 20% of all search traffic it would collapse

I'm not sure if i'm missing anything here, but DDG could very well scale if they see the spike in the traffic. They have a pretty decent revenue model.
TBH 5$ is pretty fair pricing- average user is only going to buy one, maybe two NES ports, and serious retro buy-all-700 games people already have it all. It's only overpriced by maybe a dollar or two.

But yeah, 60$ for the kit? Crike that's cheap.

I'm curious to see how accurate the emulation is. If you grew up on these systems, even small variations in things like timing and sound will stick out like a sore thumb.

Normally you'd expect Nintendo of all people to get it right, but from what I've seen of the Wii virtual console titles, they frequently don't.
A broader question I've had as I've been looking into these is: are there any low-cost alternative is that do NOT involve the cloud? I really don't want to send video from inside and outside my home across the Internet. I don't mind that I can't check it remotely. I'm more interested in giving my wife the ability to see what's outside without spending an arm and a leg or letting it go out onto the Internet.
15 years ago at a dodgy trade show booth in Vegas, I bought a $25 Nintendo clone controller that had been retrofitted to contain the guts needed to play a few dozen classic NES games that were pre-loaded.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't emulation, but actual miniaturized Nintendo-clone hardware running the original (pirated) ROMs. I have a hunch this isn't emulating, but is instead playing "on the metal." The hardware (as the article mentions) is easy to clone, and as such should be insanely cheap to produce in volume.

The profit margins on these consoles is going to be great.

I don't know how it's "not meant to be a replacement of local machine IDEs", I think that depends on the person using it.

I've been on Cloud9 for all my work (day job and freelance) for several years now and honestly can't imagine not using a web-based IDE.
I took a course recently in ML that focused on Support Vector Machines (SVM), Decision Trees, and Neural Nets. The professor chose R because of the libraries.

SVM's, Decision Trees, and Neural Nets are non-trivial to write libraries for. In order to produce similar libraries for any other language, you need either a good grounding in math (linear algebra, PDE's, and projective geometry at the least) or a well-developed ability to translate from one language - R source for instance - to the language of your choice without understanding completely what you're translating. Regardless of your background, it will take a significant amount of time and focus to accomplish it.

Our professor mentioned that Python may have libraries available now. He likes Python in general. In his research, he uses R simply due to familiarity.
