I mean, that's certainly a great ideal. The real world is somewhat less-than. I don't fault anyone for having to maintain a legacy codebase developed by people who rolled their own, say, JSON-parsing functions. (If you want to see what this sort of exploit mitigation looks like in practice, see https://github.com/douglascrockford/JSON-js/blob/master/json... ; think that this was the most popular JSON parsing library ever. Thank goodness IE8 is a goner.)
This thread is probably going to wind up being the containment thread for that subject because of it.

Given that this is an event of legitimate importance to some people here (albeit an off topic subject for HN) I would personally encourage people to leave this specific thread alone and hide it rather than flag it, since it's flown under the radar (and every other thread is bound to be flagged to oblivion.)
> Chaos theory is the idea that complex systems are deterministic, but that even minute changes in the initial parameters of the system, or the forces applied to the system can cause dramatically different outcomes.

You can have chaotic deterministic dynamics, and this can help explain why formally deterministic systems are indeterministic in practice. But you can just as well have chaotic dynamics in a formally indeterministic system. Chaos is about (a) sensitive dependence on initial conditions and (b) bounded phase space (or some sort of other restriction that implies the "folding" phenomena when combined with (a)). In particular, there is a whole field of quantum chaos, and there's nothing contradictory about it.

> If so, the implication of this research is that quantum entanglement somehow produces a deterministic environment from a large collection of probabilities?

Nope.

Modern French cuisine was codified by Escoffier. Not only did he nail down what haute cuisine was in terms of technique, he codified a process of restaurant management, based on the military chain of command. Escoffier trained up-and-coming chefs on how to structure large kitchens (up to hundreds of staffers) and how to handle budget and marketing, to get the "right" customers. In other words, he invented the modern large-scale upscale restaurant business.

American and European cooking schools are all modeled on Escoffier's techniques, as passed down through generations of chefs going back to those worked under him directly. It's not just about the cooking. It's the white tablecloths, the wine list, the dress code - it's about a restaurant experience that says as much about who the customer is and what their role in society is as it says about food.

Why require that gentlemen wear a jacket and a tie for dinner? Does it add to the cost of the food? No. It's about standards. If you offer a gentleman a tie so he may eat, you've said something about his station in life. That's why waiters at such fancy places seem like they're insulting you - they're actually insulting you! Because of this, the restaurants are expensive. Of course they're expensive. Not because the food is superior, but because the kind of people who would eat there expect it. At the best, putting prices on the menu is a faux pas. If you have to think about the cost, you don't belong.
Turkey’s recent-to-the-job prime minister, Binali Yildirim, announced: “I am sure that we will return ties with Syria to normal, we need it. We normalized our relations with Israel and Russia. I’m sure we will go back to normal relations with Syria as well.”

The prime minister said this a couple of days ago. A huge shift in policy and now suddenly a coup. I'm guessing Erdogan saw the writing on the wall and tried to shift gears, but it seems the military went ahead with the coup anyway.

"And when Latin American and Asian food also become American food, it will be a signal that the country has at last embraced a new generation of Americans."

I found this peculiar, given that the US has no fewer than four distinct regional "Mexican" cuisines, not found in Mexico. These are Tex-Mex, California Mexican food (e.g. the fabulous Mission burrito), New Mexican food, and American Mexican food (think chimichangas).

New Mexican cuisine is older than the US, and middle-white America has been eating tacos (with the crispy shell, itself a US development) for at least two generations. They're about as American as Chef Boyardee at this point.

Maybe I'm just relying too much on IPA conventions :)

"j" is a silent consonant in all Roman and Germanic languages (i.e. most of mainland Europe). It's only in English that "y" has taken over that role (otherwise, "y" is a vowel -- like in English words ending in -ey).

The symbol "j" has that same silent role in IPA, that's why I was confused: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximant_consonant

I think I've come across this before. So it's a browser/web server solution, right? Seems like there could be some performance/security issues. Seems pretty full featured, though. Nice work!
One of the things about JupyterLab is that it really emphasizes extending and customizing the environment. Think of it as a platform for web-based applications and a reference set of components. We've tried hard to make the underlying platform have good support for power users. We've paid a lot of attention to making a good keyboard shortcut system, for example. I think it makes a lot of sense for someone to write a plugin for the system that registers keyboard shortcuts for doing tab management, maybe in the vein of a tiling window manager. Also, it would take changing only a few lines of code to move the file browser from the left side panel to the main docking area - it's just a widget that is registered on the left side panel rather than the main area.

We also encourage people to theme the environment, and provide themes via plugins. I think theming things with a lot more minimal whitespace would be an interesting project for users like you.

Also, for a power user, I'd definitely suggest running it in the browser application mode, which gets rid of lots of the browser chrome.

Remember - it's an alpha-level project, we're still experimenting a lot, especially on the user experience and UI. JupyterLab was built to be easily extensible and customizable, and we encourage people to experiment with customizing the environment in a way that suits them. And we appreciate feedback as well! Thanks!
I cannot attest to the 'properly configured' part. I simply used their Ubuntu Droplet 'out of the box' apart from installing MySQL on it. Would love it if you can point me at a guide or post on how to configure a Digital Ocean droplet for better availability and reliability.
> US military officers swear an oath to defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic,

True, but...

> but they don't swear an oath to other officers or elected officials.

... this part is, interestingly true, but only of officers. Officers don't swear an oath to other offices or elected officials, but enlisted personnel do both -- first to the President and second to the officers appointed over them, and all subject to the UCMJ. [0]

Not, of course, that oaths constrain behavior, but, to the extent oaths are relevant, in any case, the Constitution names the President Commander-in-Chief of the military and gives Congress the power to regulate the military, so an oath by a military member to support the Constitution necessarily involves a degree of commitment to elected officials, and to the extent those elected officials have used their Conditional powers to establish and appoint superior officers, those other officers.

The portion I found most interesting, and best illustrates their point:

"Here are a few stats I collected early Thursday for the new “Ghostbusters” movie:
IMDb average user rating: 4.1 out of 10, of 12,921 reviewers
IMDb average user rating among men: 3.6 out of 10, of 7,547 reviewers
IMDb average user rating among women: 7.7 out of 10, of 1,564 reviewers
The movie isn’t even out in theaters as I’m writing this, but over 12,000 people have made their judgment. Male reviewers outnumber female reviewers nearly 5 to 1 and rate “Ghostbusters” 4 points lower, on average."

And from its related article:

"“Sex and the City” has seven Emmys and a suite of Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild awards... Any reasonable person should concede that “Sex and the City” was an above-average television program ... “Sex and the City” has an overall rating of 7.0 ... the average score ... is 7.3. So why did a show roundly considered seminal in the now ubiquitous genre of driven-New York-women-make-a-go-of-it programming score so low? Yeah, it’s men. Nearly 60 percent of the people who rated “Sex and the City” ... are women, and looking only at those scores, the show has an 8.1 ... Male users, though, who made up just over 40 percent of “Sex and the City” raters, assigned it, on average, a 5.8 rating."

We like to think of these aggregated ratings, as some objective measure of crowd-sourced wisdom. But in reality, it's just an aggregation of thousands of people's personal preferences and biases.

If you're someone whose tastes line up with the average critic/online-commenter, the aggregated ratings will sound pretty accurate to you. If you're someone who differs from the average critic/online-commenter, you'll be left wondering why all your favorite shows are rated so poorly.

There's probably a moral in here somewhere regarding top-rated posts/comments on HN.

If you mean him in particular, probably that he has strong moral convictions about right and wrong. I don't know the man personally but I've been examining his ideas with their percolations (e.g. mimesis, exits) and their interesting offshoots for several years now and although some people may suppose him contradictory this would be a very superficial reading. Being idiosyncratic is not the same thing as being a hypocrite. He is not about to stomp on people's freedom of speech merely because he disagrees with those people and/or their politics. That would be in fact an antipathy to him. That he considers aiding the takedown of Gawker as a philanthropic move is unsurprising to me and not a form of sarcasm as some suppose.

As for billionaires subverting the media generally, let's just say that if we assume Thiel did subvert the media for nefarious purposes he would be but a minnow in an ocean packed to the gills with sharks already eating each other. Eons before, you know, that minnow was hatched or whatever. I mean there are people literally killing each other out there over nothing. Perspective!

Not to be pedantic, but the entire mechanism of coups d'état is that you step outside the legal framework and instead use intimidation and force.

If you fail, it's very, very often fatal. If you succeed, you retrofit some sketchy legal justification, or ignore the matter altogether.
Well, no -- it's not enough to just stare at the problem / thing.

What you have to do, effectively, is become at one with its true nature. Which in general is much more difficult than simply starting at it.
In the Twin Cities, Laotian food is cheap and easy to find - we have a huge southeast Asian community (the largest Vietnamese community outside Vietnam, with many Hmong). Around here, there's nothing particularly "exotic" about Vietnamese or Thai. More specifically Laotian and Cambodian food is also easy enough to find, although they're sometimes hidden in "Vietnamese" restaurants. Larb and sticky rice? Yeah, we got that. :)

Filipino, on the other hand, is almost nonexistent. We just don't have a significant community here to support it.

"I'm arguing that I've worked at far too many companies that went bust, because their business model was broken, in order to fund my own hacker activities outside of that."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems you are saying that hackers can't survive because the scene can't exist without the corporations funding it's participants. This is contrary to history. In my generation the industry considered us criminals even though most of us weren't. The hacker scene was around long before the industry embraced it and will be around long after whatever unicorn of the month loses it's horn. It's not going anywhere. It constantly changes and every generation has added it's own chapter, but that's what makes it what it is. So that leads me to my next question... What could you have not done if you didn't have corporate funding from these several failed companies you worked for? What prevented you from just doing it anyways?
Calling it "fake money" is highly misleading (to me at least). This "fake money" system sounds a lot more similar to food stamps or vouchers.
pretty sure that iTerm2 for a beginner is pretty much identical to Terminal. At that stage don't know enough to leverage it's fancy capabilities so they don't get in the way and confuse you. When you're ready for them, they're there for you. In Terminal you have something that looks and works almost identical but when you want more you can't have it.

In my state the moment one of those people enter your home uninvited you have a right to execute said criminal. I won't call the police on them, but I'm not going to let those sorts of people back out into society either. That said I'd vote not guilty for any victimless crime.
Ask HN: How would you find “interesting” audio from a video file or stream?
Let's say you have a 12 hour long video file from a surveillance or security camera, and you know that motion detection didn't find any interesting events in the video part. What about the audio? Is there any software that can let you define "interesting" audio, even just amplitude over a certain level. For example, given a minimum threshold in dB and a video file, give me a shortened video file that contains all the video except the periods where the threshold was too low?
Yep, the videos are hugely important. The first half of Go Terminal's is just creating aliases (which is easier to do without the fancy UI), and that's where I got bored and closed the page. This project actually showed some interesting things.

Any idea when the source for this will be released? I am curious to see how they do it. I will watch the full video in the meantime.
The problem being discussed is prejudice. Whether that prejudice comes from some nebulous idea of "race" or "culture" or something else is besides the point.
I have the opposite feeling. Pinboard does what I want. It seems like it will CONTINUE to do what I want, perhaps for a long time to come! If it could run a little faster, I wouldn't mind that (but maybe that's because I have about 14,000 bookmarks all with detailed comments and extensive tagging), but I happily pay for a subscription JUST so I can be confident that it won't suddenly disappear.
Still seems like a fundamental misunderstanding of what a terminal is for. I SSH into any number of boxes every day, be it on my RaspberryPi, client machines in AWS, crappy hosting providers, etc. The standard bash terminal is there on all of them, which can not be said of any project like this.

The Wikipedia page for the 1997 one is bordering between hilarious and amazing:

> At the National Security Council (MGK) meeting on 28 February 1997, the generals submitted their views on issues regarding secularism and political Islam on Turkey to the government. The MGK made several decisions during this meeting, and Prime Minister Necmettin Erbakan from the Welfare Party was forced to sign the decisions, some of which were:

* Eight years of primary school education

* Shutting down many religious schools opened during his term

* Abolition of Tarikats (sectarian groups)

I'd be expecting those demands from a liberal group, not the military! :)

Part of running a coup in a democratic country is that your ground troops have to be on your side. This is much more difficult when every single soldier is made completely aware during indoctrination that domestic military action is almost completely illegal. Adding in the fact that there is no conscription in America, the likelihood of a military coup today is vanishingly small.
