I suppose it partly depends on how broadly you define "tech hub." If that includes 20-30 places worldwide, I'm not going to violently disagree. If it means Bay Area + Portland + Seattle + ...? Then I will. Especially because "tech" isn't limited to web/social/mobile.

Hadn't heard of this one before. There isn't a readme and the site seems to have been taken over. But from what I can tell based on the examples, it has a yaml based scheduler and does some pretty nifty things like IRC notifications.

riko doesn't have a scheduler (although the original pipe2py has a json based one). However, I do plan to integrate with Airflow/Oozie/Luigi [1-3] in the future to make it easier to design workflows.

The notification system reminds me of Huggin [4]. Since riko is twisted based, it should be fairly straightforward to implement something similar for IRC/IMAP/FTP/etc.

Important New Update for Securities Law in the US
I wasn't around back then so someone else will have to fill in, but isn't that what happened with Japan? First they just copied American TV and Radio designs, killing American manufacturers simply by undercutting them on price and then BOOM suddenly they were inventing the Walkman and all-in-one camcorders (Marty McFly: All the best stuff comes from Japan!)
I'm in one of the most crowded and traffic-ridden of the world, non-US. We have a growing rail complex and a good and frequent bus system. I perceive car ownership as masochism, as public transport is always faster, and you don't have to care about parking, gas, taxes and all the other burdens associated with cars. Electric cars won't solve these, e.g. many cars can self park, but you can't save the time spent searching for a parking space, self drive or manual. It also won't save you from traffic.

There are also legal questions about self driving. For example if my theoretical fully self driving hits a passenger on the zebras that hasn't dresses up for the liking of radars, who is guilty? Certainly there needs to be put in place a big infrastructure for interautomobile communication to effectively avoid crashes. Infrastrutture is unavoidable.

This is like saying: if the electric infrastructure is not good and widely available, then give everyone a generator.

I think it's extremely unlikely that this development would be sustainable in rural VT.

It's also worth noting that, despite the purported focus on 'sustainability', the corporation/cult ironically plans to rely upon drilling for fossil fuels and mining to remain profitable. Which is, by definition, not sustainable.

Vermont's Act 250 also likely precludes this development.

Makes your PySide/PyQt4 code work with Qt5
I completely agree with you - mainly because you're making the same point as I did: OP didn't want other people making licensing money with his software, so he copylefted it. GP didn't like this - at which point I was making the point that apparently he'd like to get in on licensing money (of derivative works), without giving OP a fee. Because, as you described, that's pretty much the only case where OP's model wouldn't work. What you described IMO fits into what I was saying - you can make money on GPLed software just fine, if it's based around services or consulting, even if it's just for internally used services (because internal customers are customers too - you could even be your own customer).

I always use magnet links, but I thought KAT offered multiple formats for each link, including the magnet link but also the torrent file. In any event, I agree with you that this is an incredibly slippery slope the government is going down here. They are also taking a significant risk in filing this case, as an acquittal will set a precedent that operating a torrent site does not constitute copyright infringement.
Yeah, if you go to the play store and search for pokemon go you get hundreds of people making spin of type things and guides. Reminds me of ambulance chasers and art van salesmen.

> I do think it is also important to note that science isn't morally or politically neutral.

Yes, it is: all it can say is what it thinks is true about the physical world. To take the nuclear-weapons issue: science can say that if you assemble these elements in this way and initiate that action in that way then there will be a release of some amount of energy; it can't say whether releasing that much energy is good or bad, or politically wise or unwise.

Now, science can certainly inform moral and political judgements. Science can tell folks of one race that folks of another race are identically human; it can tell folks of one age that folks of another age are identically human. But it cannot come up with principles like 'treat all human beings equally.'
And the difference is you're stuck living in a "nice middle class neighborhood" with a ton of space you probably don't need. For many people moving to cities the value of the area is worth many times the value of the space.

I wouldn't trade my nyc studio for a McMansion back in bumfuck SC no matter how much you offered me; and I think there must be a large population that shares that sentiment.

I suppose you're referring to Neil deGrasse Tyson's recent pontification. If you want discussion, there are long threads here, on Slashdot, etc.

As far as Star Trek goes: that's fiction.

In short: scientists are human (i.e. fallible), and science is an amoral process. A "government based on science" might well conclude that taking care of the poor, the elderly, the ill, those born with genetic disorders, etc, is inefficient, a poor use of resources, and that such problems should be "optimized away." Why let a mother give birth to a defective fetus? Why spend resources to sustain a human who uses more than it contributes? What good is an elderly person who is confined to a wheelchair and can't work anymore?

Of course, you and I are humane, and we value human life, and we have moral values--but a "rational" government "based only on science" would not be. The 20th century alone is full of examples of where utilitarianism leads: horrific suffering and death on an unimaginable scale. Millions upon millions of people suffered and died due to it. Yet there are always those who think we'll get it right This Time, that they know better.

You mentioned science-fiction--there is plenty out there that imagines such dystopias. ST is mostly utopia, punctuated by DS9 and the trend toward "gritty." Both are fiction, but at least balance your sci-fi perspective. ;)
The problem with innovation in China is the same problem it has in most areas namely corruption. In an actual free market innovation has huge dividends, but when success is arbitrary and often based on outside connections it's far less useful. That's not to say the people are not innovative and there is plenty of innovation in smaller more competitive markets.

In the end they will continue to innovate, but as long as it's fighting both the government and social norms things are going to be bottleneck.

Basically, the regex egine sees a $ anchor, moves to the end of the string, and finds that it can't ever match there.

"A person in the US who, for example, wants to watch all but the latest season of Game of Thrones"

This is simply not true. In my experience, only the most mainstream content is available legally on portals like itunes or netflix. If you want to watch something more rare (art film, old foreign film, film with subtitles in different language) you can try to buy very expensive DVD+shipping and wait few weeks for it to arrive or you have to use illegal sources.
The comments hear regarding IP rights and copyright seem remarkably consistent to me.

In my opinion, copyright isn't a problem in regard to television, films, music, etc. Everyone is in agreement that the people who develop this content deserve to be rewarded for their efforts and that copyright is a reasonable way to enforce this. For sure, some disagree, but I think this is the attitude on the whole and I believe that it's consistent with the way many feel about the GPL, and the outrage when the GPL is violated.

Again, in my opinion, the issue is how this content is distributed (or in many cases, the ways in which it is _not_ distributed). Isolating customers geographically and then (somewhat arbitrarily) deciding not to sell to those customers is a bitter pill for said customers to swallow. Selling media, like BluRay DVDs and then telling customers they've bought a license and can't back up that content or move it to a more convenient device, is another move that seems almost designed to upset customers.

If the content holders wanted to eliminate the effectiveness of torrenting sites, they could do so pretty quickly. They could license their products in ways similar to how music is licensed. They choose not to, in my opinion, out of greed and certain amount of disinterest in what their customers want.
Knowing that someone uses Moleskine notebooks adds nothing to the story? To me, it says a lot. Writers are taught to be specific, in part because it keeps a story interesting and makes it more vivid. I'd attribute the details to that over paid product placement.

What Would a Best-Case U.S. Infrastructure Agenda Look Like?
I administer a network of about 100 computers. One night I was monitoring the logs for the web proxy on the front of the network. It was around 2 AM and no one was there but me, so I was surprised to see dozens of connections streaming by with URLs like microsoft.com/userdata.aspx. I figured out it was the one box on the network that upgraded itself to Windows 10. Very disconcerting.
A human is very good at one-shot learning but CNNs are actually not too terrible either (and this is also an active area of research, e.g. see http://www.arxiv-sanity.com/1603.05106v2). A human might take advantage of good initialization while CNNs start from scratch. Human might have ~1B images by 5 (CNNs get ~1M) of continuous RGBD video and possibly taking advantage of active learning (while CNNs see disconnected samples, which has its pros and cons, mostly cons). i.e. we're disadvantaged in several respects but still doing quite well.
In both cases the developers have committed to a pretty big monthly payment for an app that serves hundreds of thousands of users.

4000USD is a huge amount and even 100USD monthly is a lot to spend out of pocket without a plan to recover that money. Do they have any plan of making money out of these sites or are they purely CV/portfolio pieces?
If you sell btc for ltc on one site, split up the balances, then sell the ltc for btc on different sites, how exactly would someone piece that back together? The crypto currency exchanges would be transferring to and from their internal addresses. There would be no direct connection without knowing all the addresses the exchanges use, and they can (and should) use a different address for each transaction.

Lets not get carried away
Basically, the author knows that best practices are truisms and require common sense to apply.
A fibonacci number generator is by definition not "processing nothing". "Hello world" is closer.

In any case, in practice, node.js can process almost as many as requests per second as nginx and PHP in common configurations, after you've implemented clustering - what other servers do by default. It's a dozen or so lines of code in node.js.

I expect the same is true with Flask, except that Flask's default configuration is even worse - Flask's built-in HTTP server is for development purposes only, and is similarly single-threaded. It's a WSGI framework, and deployment needs a proper WSGI server, of which there are a number of choices - gunicorn or uwsgi are common.

Using the default configuration is not a particularly good way of benchmarking the limits of a framework, because many of them are set up to be easy to work with by default, not to be fast. If node.js clustered by default, you couldn't use global variables for state and might have to deal with race conditions. Flask doesn't ship with a web server just because there's so many good choices available depending on what you need.
You are never ever going to get the scientists on board with that.
Its a lot easier to publish a simple correlation study, than it is to gather and good set of scientific data. The way we evaluate and fund science would have to change fundamentally before sharing data openly wouldn't be carrier suicide.

Another point is that such datasets can not always be shared legally.
When it comes to services, I think it's worth to talk about one common use case which comes with different motivations and problems: adding new features to old, probably poorly engineered, monolithic application. Features that are not tiny yet-another-crud-on-a-new-table but completely different than most of the existing functionality.

In this case, they really pay off if they are separated well which sometimes is hard. But executed well, it allows to keep moving quickly as the requirements grow. Of course, this is not an excuse to avoid refactoring monolithic application, improving testing, etc.

I've worked in such a setting in companies, and both times it was a win and helped to build important to the business features really quickly and reliably.

But is it worth to write an application from scratch in a service oriented architecture? Probably not, most of the time. Especially if 'product to market time', 'MVP' and similar concepts are very important for you.

How many times did a project fail, because it the non-aspects (e.g. scalability) were undernegineered? How many times did it fail because it couldn't ship on time/budget due to excessive engineering? We do not normally read such stories, because they are totally unexciting, taken separately. And one failed case of GoChat does not a worthy stat make.

Ultimately, good job to the guy for nailing a sweet spot between his skills and the market of the application created by those skills. Just do not assume that's everybody's sweet spot.

I still haven't switched to Windows 10 on my home PC. I won't use Windows for anything work related but I need it for gaming. The day Linux is good enough for gaming, I'll say goodbye to Microsoft forever.
I guess no-one cares enough to support it? Definitely a shame though. (In the rare cases where I write Android apps I stick to Eclipse, stick to Maven, use Scala, and for me it all works - but presumably people have their reasons for preferring android studio/intellij).

Show HN: PleasantFish 2.0 – Skills Feedback and Articles for Tech Professionals
Android Users Can Now Use Breadwallet
Pretty sure there is no such thing and the author actually meant magnet links.
We are super excited to launch version 2.0 of PleasantFish today.

What is PleasantFish?
For tech professionals, a platform that enables them to get feedback on their skill-set and helps them get better by providing them with related top quality content.

Vision?
Helping tech professionals grow and learn through continuous feedback.

Problem?
Continuous honest feedback from colleagues in companies is too hard to get. Moreover, even if feedback is obtained and there are some weaknesses identified, improving them is difficult. Pleasant Fish attempts to take care of the two things by enabling user to get private feedback and improve their skill-set by top quality articles personalised to their skill-set

How it works?

- User lists down their current skill-set and ask their colleagues to give them private/anonymous feedback.
- We provide skills-related content to them curated everyday that keeps them up-to-date
- We also provide with relevant jobs based on their skill-set.

Looking forward to your questions and feedback!
Of course, hypocrisy is no surprise: they think that they know best, and that the ends justify the means. It "doesn't deserve First Amendment protection" if they think it's incorrect, or if they think it won't help them achieve their policy goals. It's not censorship if it's in line with their cause.

This is what happens when policy is made without principle, and down this path lies authoritarianism and suffering. Might-makes-right doesn't end well.
