Tesla strikes me as too much of a cult of personality, at least from an investor's perspective. Amazon is another business that reinvests all its profits and then some, but Bezos could walk away without destroying the investment brand. I don't think that's true of Musk and Tesla.
Pooper may very well want you (or your neighbors) to be customers as well, instead of just the dog owner. There are neighborhoods in my city that are wealthy enough and have enough public land that I can imagine people using this app on their walks just to have a cleaner neighborhood.
I think that works only when you set those expectations up front. This is an apples-to-oranges comparison, but: reddit started as no filters. That was one of it's main draws. Then suddenly started applying filters, and banning "toxic" members. Now a lot of people are mad at them.

HN, afaik, has always had these rules in place. There's never been an expectation of free-speech here, and nobody minds, because they were presented up-front.
Nintendo is highly dependent on its first party games. They can only crank so many of them out at any time. Third party developers seem to prefer ps4 and XB1.
How Smalltalk can benefit your startup
It's certainly not a given. May is not very remain though. It would take political bravery to go against the referendum result.

It would be easier for a new non Conservative party government to avoid Brexit as remaining can be part of the manifesto, which somewhat explains the urgency with which Labour MPs are trying to eject Corbyn, who can not be relied on to make remain a manifesto pledge.

Interesting times.

It would probably be a bit fiddly given how every phone is a little different, but it would be cooler if you could slot your phone into the case instead of having it dangle from a cable.

That said, I'm not sure there is much point to this when you could just carry around a netbook. The phone integration is almost guaranteed to be glitchy thanks to fragmentation on Android and trying to use apps outside of their expected environment.

> Diagrams suck

And yet anytime two or more programmers get together to talk about what they are creating, they start drawing diagrams on whiteboards.
> do you have a proposal for how to achieve this, beyond the old "putting the right people in charge"?

I was actually brainstorming over this – an alternative, or rather, something that builds upon the fundamentals of the Reddit/HN format – during a long drive today, and I think I did hit upon something that could be effective, and fun.

Now to polish up my idea and figure the best way to put it out there. :)
I've encoded audio books with Opus at 32 kbps and they sound good. I wouldn't vouch for music at such a low bitrate, but it's nice to have a set of 14 CDs only take up a quarter gigabyte on an SD card.

As this thread is filled with people that know way, way more about CUDA and OpenCL than myself I hope that you will indulge me a serious question: I get that graphics cards are great for floating point operations and that bitwise binary operations are supported by these libraries, but are they similarly efficient at it?

Some background: I occasionally find myself doing FPGA design for my doctoral work and am realizing that the job market for when I get done may be better for me if I was fluent in GPGPU programming as it is easier to build, manage, and deploy a cluster of such machines than the same for FPGAs.

My current problem has huge numbers of XOR operations on large vectors and if OpenCL or CUDA could be learned and spun up quickly (I have a CS background) I may be inclined to jump aboard this train vs buying another FPGA for my problem.
Yeah, you basically invented the netbook a few months too early, and marketed it as an accessory when it was a full-fledged computer hardware-wise.

By the way, did the GPL code used on that ever get released, assuming the demo units counted as distribution?

I still have a Lapdock. I use mine as a handy workbench monitory/keyboard/battery setup for the plethora of small device I have that fit in its squid-like cable adapters: raspberry Pi's, beagleboards, and so on. If but for that stupid decision to make non-standard i/o ports, the Lapdock probably could have been a more useful general-purpose dock, already.

That's really something to keep in mind. Superbook is one thing, but its really just a fixed Lapdock with a different ethos regarding interoperability.
It's also one less device to manage connectivity on (connect to wifi, pay for data plan, etc.).
sorry, but i've used all sorts of services from free to paid. this has been the worst experience of all of them. mandrill was best. i'm pissed at the crappy customer service as much as i am about them deferring email (i understand the complexities) and we cant afford $1000 per year on email.
I wish it could dock the phone behind the screen or something. I don't want to have my phone connected to this thing like some sort of tether through a USB cable.
Whatsapp uses opus for voip, hoping to see an update soon.
Use Smalltalk to accelerate your startup
The questions raised was "better," not "easier to learn." In absence of everything else, being easy to learn is a point in favor of natural language--but the inefficiencies, ambiguities, and probable weakness of using natural language are big marks against it. Checkers is easier to learn than chess, but has fewer players.
Those cron jobs are just manual management of automation. If you take a few steps back, it doesn't seem too unlikely that that can be automated as well (as a recent example, Kubernetes has automated away a whole swath of what recently required manual management of individual server automation).

I'm a longtime OGG Vorbis user and upgrading everything to Opus.

From the FAQ: Does Opus make all those other lossy codecs obsolete? Yes. From a technical point of view (loss, delay, bitrates, ...) Opus renders Speex obsolete and should also replace Vorbis and the common proprietary codecs too (e.g. AAC, MP3, ...).
Seems unlikely, given that it lacks any kind of networking (it relies on the phone for that). Of course, with a phone plugged into it you could use an android VNC app.
>>The GSM/LTE/whatever radio runs very closed source firmware.

>This seems like a problem that could be fixed.

The problem is that it's illegal to reflash the firmware, because the Radio Frequency Giveaway Committee* is scared that people would abuse that to send on frequencies that they haven't permitted.

I think python strikes a good balance, naturalish language whenever possible, without forcing it into places where it doesn't fit. At least that's the feel I got from it.
It's not surprising that you're not happy with your education, that's a "general" degree to be an "office pion" (I'm using the unpleasant description for a reason). What you did was go to school for something/anything that got you a degree... now you don't know what you want to do (and do with it). That's backwards thinking. You need to find what you're passionate about and then get an education for a job that does that. If you don't like being an office administrator... why get a BA degree? Right? You need to try a number of jobs, experiment (for not too long, remember you're looking for your Permanent job... a.k.a. Career) with different jobs. Spend an afternoon and think about the times you were really happy... is there a job doing that? Is there a job relating to that? FYI: The age you figured out that "you don't want to do this anymore" is immaterial, your first step was realizing this fact. Now do something about it!! and go enjoy your life instead of just slogging through it.
> If everyone is flawed, then whats the point of having an arbitrarily selected group of flawed people censor all the other flawed people? That logic seems flawed, unless it is purely from a monetary interest.

It seems reasonable that the people who put the time and effort into creating and maintaining a discussion site are perfectly valid to pick and choose what type of content they see fit no matter how arbitrary their rules.

If their rules are too harsh or unliked people will just go elsewhere.

Ok, sure. It's not a universal human right, but we can do better than the absolute minimum to give some semblance of equality to people instead of leaving people's lives to the fate of where they were born in the world and how rich their parents were.

If there was universal health care out in the world that said vaccinations and emergency procedures were free for everyone, but if you were born on Feb 1st, you also got a personal trainer and free cosmetic surgery, everyone else would be within reason to complain about such a system. This is effectively what is happening here.

Clearly you don't tote around anything. (But the phone.)
What if your main cpu, os, and memory were always with you? An alter cocker like me is not going to shlep a laptop on a plane. And there are as many of me as you.
My guess: they can't respond to everything, so with some randomness legitimate security concerns don't get an official response.

You're selecting such a limited example that is so far out from what the implication of destroying DRM is that while I've made an error, I did so in a fundamentally honest fashion, which is the opposite of what the EFF is doing. They are lying about remix culture to engender support. So, which error is more egregious in the grand scheme of things?
Motorola built an accessory for a single phone. This is different: it's a combo of keyboard+display+mouse for any phone that can handle the I/O.

I could see this working if the devices were reasonably common in e.g. airports, hotels, etc. But they would have to be reasonably ubiquitous for you to confidently forego dragging along a laptop.
Always when I see concepts like this I feel like it's a great idea but after few minutes I really can not think of a use-case for me.

First I would like to have a phone with x86 cpu so I could run the same software as on my desktop, without real desktop cpu it will be hard to use device like that as laptop replacement.

Secondly why would I like to carry something like that instead of normal laptop. I understand I can buy e.g. two devices one for work one for home but still why not just have a two laptops and sync stuff using cloud.

I think it's not a future, the future is folding device that could work as phone and unfolded as laptop. We are not there yet to combine everything in one device that would be useful for every use-case.

Mobile Encryption Firm Silent Circle Raises $50M – Hacked
GamerGate exposed clear ethical violations in the gaming media. Do you dispute that too? That same media has yet to clean up it's mess and famously doubled down by ignoring the legitimate claims or blowing them off while conveniently pretending that every troll/kid with a keyboard are really the spokespeople of the movement.
You're joking right? They keep writing off Tumblr, it is worthless. Just 4 days ago:

https://www.yahoo.com/tech/yahoo-reports-another-big-loss-21...

> Yahoo also reported Monday that it's writing down $482 million in charges related to the declining value of Tumblr, the social-blogging service that Yahoo acquired for $1.1 billion in 2013. Combined with an earlier write-down of $230 million, that indicates Tumblr's value has plunged by almost two-thirds.
Given fracking injections are a lot shallower than 10km, I'm not sure it would have to be injected that deep. But it's a good point, that temperature will be a factor.

Getting a high-melting-point fluid down there might be done by dissolving or suspending it in water that is allowed to boil off, or having a heated injection pipeline.

Silicone and silicate lubricants are viable at those temperatures. Might not be viscous enough, though.

A low melting phosphate glass might work.
You would have done better to remain silent instead of making such posts.

A email delivery service isn't able to send those, and it considers that it isn't worth posting on their status page!

If Brexit gets brushed under the carpet, and the EU continues its legacy of greed, stupidity and incompetence in every area it involves itself in, then I imagine the next referendum will be a lot more bitter and painful, if not outright violent.
Not leaving will create a moral danger. Wouldn't it?

It will make it too easy for people to vote according with their guts knowing that they will be saved.

It will also empower anti-EU parties in other countries in EU.
Thanks for giving some context, and sorry to see you blanked out for providing a viable and nuanced rebuttal to what the EFF is doing. They are engaging in FUD on this one. It's got questionable merit. Thankfully, the legal system will sort this out and I presume in a fashion I find agreeable, because the EFF's position is extreme and untenable.
The idea of using your phone as your main computer definitely seems like it could be the future. You can hook it up to something like this, or a USB-C monitor with a keyboard attached, or to a TV via MHL with a bluetooth keyboard, or whatever.

And tablet software is close, but doesn't quite feel right. This sort of thing just needs to get popular enough that software makers respond with the needed tweaks.

The problem is path to market.

Normally power users are the early adopters. They're willing to try new stuff, to put up with bleeding edge hassles to get their needs met. But this isn't for power users, phones and mobile apps aren't powerful enough.

Somebody just needs to find a willing early adopter and it should take off. Maybe an industry like logistics, maybe somewhere in the third world. Chromebooks had a similar problem, but they found a niche in education and now have sufficient volume to push into mainstream.
So I was going to be snarky about the author not having their linux user as a member of the "docker" group (thus requiring sudo every command) but that sparked a line of thought; so I'll ask:

Is it better practice to leave yourself out of the docker group, thus forcing explicit use of sudo, since the daemon runs as root? Is there a better daemon auth model that's not in use so you can at least have longer-lived tokens, etc?

Also, in case you do want to skip the sudo every time (careful with the potential security risk):

sudo usermod -aG docker $(whoami)
>Democracy is not a right, it's a responsibility.

In the United Kingdom parliament is dissolved every five years or sooner and elections are called to elect a new parliament.

Representative democracy is manifestly a right of the British people.
Recently there is a trend for implicating husbands and relatives in criminal cases just because the wife didn't get along.

It is the same in USA. Every "decent" divorce lawyer's first step is for the wife to whack herself on the face, call the police, and get the husband kicked out of the house. The cops don't like it, but they have to take the report. Sometimes they have enough spine to not arrest the dude.

All interested parties including lawyers, judges, police get involved for financial gain.

Yeah this too. Family court is the biggest racket going now.
His description of saltiness reminded me of something I like to do:

I enjoy braised vegetables cooked so that there are varying levels of doneness throughout. It's as if all the best flavors in each manage to come through and you get this whole spectrum of what it means to be that vegetable.
Labour MPs are trying to eject Corbyn because they were never happy he was elected leader of the party in the first place. They wish they could take a page from the Conservatives and select a new leader without the people's voice.
The Watson speech services default to Opus, and it's a great choice - high quality for the bandwidth, fairly easy to work with, and no patent encumbrance.
I think that also reflects Reddit's issues with mission confusion. Reddit does present itself as a single entity: "the frontpage of the Internet," and it was founded as a single community, a group of users on one forum. The introduction of subreddits has very slowly shifted it towards being a platform, a piece of forum-hosting software--and as it grows larger, it becomes much more enjoyable to use it to browse small forums than deal with the mob on the defaults. IMO they should fully commit to being a platform for many different communities, but the site's founding ethos was the opposite.
Well, that period also required a lot of the rebuilding due to the destruction wrought by WWII. Sadly it seems the idea of 'creative destruction' to unstick markets and lead to innovation also seems to apply to real world infrastructure (in this case requiring real world destruction).
FWIW - I think you meant "fake" not fact at the end there.
Are you sure he didn't already do that?
That's true enough; there's still bad blood between Nintendo and most third-party developers, over how controlling Nintendo was back in NES and SNES days. But at least Nintendo has a very strong identity from its first-party IPs...
problem is the Ubuntu one was trash, when you plugin to display it's still just Ubuntu Touch. Cant run normal X apps, cant apt install anything.

Huge disappointment.

Waiting for something useful. But it looks like Windows continuem is following same fate, not actually really full normal windows in desktop mode. Just runs phone apps on larger display.
I know the majority of dog owner are conscientious and that the actions of a few irresponsible ones are giving the rest a bad name, but I'll be disappointed if people start caring even less about where they leave dog poop. The entire marketing plan here is suggesting you can pay for the right to not be responsible.

I like dogs a lot, but I don't like it when people let their dogs poop on my lawn, even when they scoop immediately. I have kids too, and they play on the lawn. I don't make a stink about it (pun intended) but I'd certainly prefer to not have my lawn pooped on at all, given the choice.

People who don't like dog poop enough to pay to not have to touch it might be better off not getting dogs. An app probably won't be able to save you from ever having to scoop at your own house, right?
That doesn't explain the vast infrastructure projects of the 40s - 70s after WWII.
If I'm not mistaken, third party developers prefer the other platforms because there are fewer restrictions, both in terms of hardware power (which Nintendo consoles at least since the Wii have lacked in comparison with competitors), and content (where Nintendo wanted to cultivate a more family friendly reputation).
True, I forgot NVIDIA (and AMD) play around with the "core" definition
After getting dog-piled yesterday hashing out some thoughts, I was able to sleep on the subject and get some direction and clarity.

I understand this is not a sympathetic audience. Sometimes though, it helps to point out shared implications. Cheering for the demise of DRM has serious Software Industry concerns, none of which are mentioned or addressed in the lawsuit.
The Education of a Libertarian
Interesting point. We make the same in high-security INFOSEC where one must differentiate between adding security "features" and "assurance." The features are things like trusted boot, kernel/user separation, crypto protocols, and so on. The assurance... often missing... are activities that ensure those features are built securely & provide evidence of that to 3rd parties.

Common Criteria's EAL's provide an interesting set of assurance activities with descriptions of the increments:

The top interface is for advanced users, it is not self explanatory but it is very close to the standardized language Sparql (which would get you started). We also worked on the auto-completion to help. You can also learn by example, by using "Grab Spaql" button.

We plan to make some tutorial videos to explain how to use it.

We are using various ways for gathering data including users and mechanical turks. But we also have some semi-supervised algorithms. And we are also working on a fully unsupervised algorithm, but we are not there yet, and we won't disclose more for now.

Thank you again for your interest.
Can somebody in the UK explain to me what happened to the Liberal Democrats? Did they implode after tying their hitch to the Cameron wagon in the last parliament?

Because it seems to me like a bulk of these supposed Blair-ite 'Labour' supporters who want Corbyn out so they don't have to be sullied with ugly old words like "socialism" and "wealth redistribution" more properly belong in a party closer to Canada's Liberal Party, and it is Corbyn who is inheriting the mantle of the more traditional Labour constituency? Why have the Liberal Democrats not done better out of the cataclysm in British party politics over the last few months?
