Late career Howard Stern show is a fantastic show. Yes, there are the usual collections of low-brow humor, stunts and fart jokes. However, every now and then there will be an A or B level movie/TV/sport star on and Howard can spend an hour or hour and half extracting every little juicy story out of them. He can get people to tell all kinds of stories about their lives and keeps them on task and focused on telling the story. You hang on every word and every sentence and you just don't want to get out of your car when you listen to him. I really believe that there is simply no better interviewer than Howard Stern. He has the ability and the medium to do such a fantastic job.
The usual buzzwords don't help. Read "Nation Building is an Oxymoron", from Parameters.[1]

"Interestingly enough, there are actually comparable Intel SHA extensions to the ARM equivalents. Linux 4.4 has added support for this but so far we have not been able to identify any CPUs that will actually run this code."

Intel Goldmont is the only microarch that implements the instructions. It was "released" in April: http://www.extremetech.com/computing/226800-intels-new-low-c...
But it is one of these annoying soft launches where the processors are not for sale anywhere, the specs are incomplete, and even ark.intel.com doesn't know about them. sigh
Well done, that's probably the least relevant use of "written in go" in a HN headline I've seen. And there's some stiff competition for that title.

Wait, so the idea is that the Wikileaks Twitter account operator installed a neo-nazi chrome extension, then forgot he had it installed and tweeted out in confusion as to why people were tagged, thus outing himself as some sort of Hitler youth with bad memory?

Calling that tweet anti-Semitic just doesn't make sense. It reads like someone trying way too hard to turn a molehill into a mountain. I'm guessing if we look through the history we'll discover that the people attacking him on Twitter had changed their usernames to include the parenthesis.
AMP versions of articles are developed by publishers, not by Google, so it's there thanks to WSJ. As for the paywall, the AMP access component[1] is not stable, so WSJ's options were basically to skip AMP (and the associated traffic) or to skip the paywall.

Well, The value of that quote is directly proportional to what you think about Ive's work. Personally, I don't happen to think its all that great.
True, but throughout history Apple has done this plenty. They have never been first to market with a product.
From my experience it really depends. I've worked as a programmer and product manager as well as a Manager of hundreds of engineers and product managers.

Reading a lot of text is only one way of getting information to perform your job. For instance, some of the best programmers and engineers I managed knew how to have good discussions and the right questions to ask.

Often times user stories are the foundation of that interaction and they are extremely short and organized. As someone else mentioned here, technical learning is very structured and most engineers I know read a little, try it out and then read more if they need more help.

As long as reading a lot of text is not the main form of how you get information and learn then you can probably be OK as a programmer. If you are looking ahead and wanted to engage in other roles then you should invest time to become confident with that form of information.
The Firefox reference is in the second vulnerability discussed in your link 1, and is unrelated to your link 2 and parent submission. That second vulnerability apparently only affected the version 4 line of the Firefox plugin, which is marked beta in the Mozilla repository.

Would love such kind of intro too, especially since I'm working on a product that could greatly benefit from NPL and neural networks.

Could a kind person provide a good reference for something we could learn from?

Or (as I fear), are we past this short time in the beginning of a technic/science (I think about computing, here) when you can learn without going through academic studies?

But, what is the current replication setup that comes with postgres that is well documented with the PostgreSQL (current-version) documentation... the past, when I've looked there's mention of 2-3 solutions (none in-the-box) and others that require at least a 5-figure support contract.

Compare to MongoDB, RethinkDB, MS-SQL and others where the tooling for replication comes in the box. Yes, to of the examples are "no-sql" but even the mysql replication is in the box and supported as such.
After one year in the making, GRDB.swift has acquired experience about the impact of protocol-oriented programming and immutability on the way applications can access SQLite databases. First, those new paradigms actually help avoiding some hard-to-reproduce concurrency bugs. Next, they are fundamentally incompatible with frameworks like Core Data and Realm, which rely heavily on both class inheritance and mutability. This has consequences on application architecture.

As a software engineer who occasionally writes poetry, I strongly agree with this. Going back and forth (between the "logical" and "creative" sides) feels healthy - kind of like switching between standing and sitting at a desk - once you've done one for a while, the other feels good.

Here's one of my poems:

What's my great fear?
I'll tell you; come near.
To lay down in death
with so much left.

Passion not spent -
Oh cowardly regret!
For fear of others?
The thousand deaths.

I'm afraid to die
With no twinkle in my eye
To pass meagerly by
Yet hidden inside.

To walk through life
Not truly alive
And to pass in the night
With an unfelt "goodbye".

> This approach works fine in the small, but as you grow, do research and try new things out it becomes an unmanageable mess

I have quite a long history in creating complex systems so I think my code is quite clean and easy to work with (I have already removed and added methods multiple times). however there are the things that really suck:

1) I'm not able to package the framework to a library

2) copy-paste because of 1.

3) version management hell because of 1.
The problem with using iterated SHA2 for passwords is that GPU/FPGA/ASIC are orders of magnitude faster than the CPU-based "normal" usage. So while increasing the number of rounds makes it more difficult for an attacker, they already have an edge by being able to use faster technologies.

Ideally you'd use something like Argon2 or any of the other finalists from the Password Hashing Competition[1].

I didn't mean to imply that. I think the two are inextricably linked.

With regards to achieving stable inflation, to me it just looks like we've flattened out the spikes, not gotten rid of them [1]. And, mind you, the two spikes at ~1865 and ~1914 were caused by wars. We can't exactly say we had either a world war or a civil war from 1965 to 1985.

I normally run the GPU headless for machine learning. In the rare case I need to access the desktop shell of the VM, I just connect via Chrome Remote Desktop.

In the even rarer case that I wish to play a game, I have an HDMI connection between the GPU and my projector, which I can enable with a remote control.

Learning how to use qemu is a bit of a pain (hint: use qemu directly, virus is a huge waste of time) but after the initial learning curve the setup is seamless for my use case - and I feel safer without the GPU drivers having access to my normal desktop. I much prefer this setup to dual-booting Windows for gaming. The VM spins up in a few seconds and shuts down when not in use (turning off the GPU in the process).
As in Guy Debord? In what way? I've only heard his show a few times but it didn't really scream "commodity fetishism" to me. Although I suppose there's an essay you could write on living vicariously through his celebrity guest stars.
Apple's UI and the UI from the Alto are while conceptually similar (insomuch as any two cars are conceptually similar), not even in the same family, in look, feel or user interaction - its a bit like comparing a Model T with a 39 Ford - while both are cars, the controls work in pretty dissimilar manners.

This investment asserts that Quantopian is viable going forward and a very worthwhile investment (of time) for developers.
> I believe that is the case in some states as well (but not California). They get to repo the house, sell it and then can sue you for the rest you owe.

Even where allowed in the US, they tend (not always, it varies by state) to increase the judicial oversight of (and thus extend timelines for) the foreclosure sale, and often reduce the finality of a foreclosure sale by providing a post-sale redemption period. Both of these things are things that lenders might prefer to avoid in many cases where a deficiency would, in theory, be available.
If you highly value the hosted PaaS aspects of Firebase then it's good to look at (they are one of the best in that space). If you're looking for an open-source alternative that can be hosted in your private or public cloud, check out Couchbase Mobile (full disclosure, I'm an architect at Couchbase). We're open-source under Apache 2 and have all the database and sync functionality of Firebase. Many of our customers/users evaluate us against Firebase, it really depends on where you place the most value: PaaS, controlling your own data, open-source, etc. http://developer.couchbase.com/mobile
A giant fluff piece really. The HTC Vive / Valve is beating them, and they want some decent PR before the launch of their consumer motion controls. Also justifying the purchase alongside their earnings report.

I'm impressed that my home server has logged over 650,000 failed logins since 1 July, and a couple of machines I administer in a university over 300,000 each. That's every three-four seconds for the home server.

Key here is that you need to figure out how they got in. Then negotiate terms to have them back off. Either way, they're probably being nice about it if they haven't simply 'rm -rf /'d you.

Aurelia is an amazing leap forward for standards-based development. React is a horrible anti-pattern, Angular 2 has no basis in standards and is so complex, it's not a useful development platform. I've been using Aurelia for 18 months and it has only evolved to be more and more useful and powerful for SPA. I am merely an advocate and not an evangelist, but you owe it to yourself to give it a trade-off analysis. Please think carefully about web components, ES6, and web standards before you leap into technologies that are way off the path.
Of those only the Prada is close, and even then the similarities are very superficial: http://gizmodo.com/261172/settling-this-iphone-vs-lg-prada-n...

Since it was released so close to the launch of the iPhone that it's not like Apple could have possibly dropped everything and rebuilt their entire design strategy around it. The protracted lawsuit with Samsung showed how Apple had been working on that design for some time and had already settled on a number of key design elements, the "rectangle" being one.

Those are interesting historical artifacts, but none of those had any lasting impact on the market, they were merely historical curiosities that nobody ever copied.

> Just because you are first to adopt something...

No, it doesn't give you an exclusive right per-se, but there's a lot of ways you can make a touch-screen phone short of copying Apple's design millimeter for millimeter like Samsung did.

So long as there's such a thing as a design patent then, legally speaking, yes, you do have the sole right. That's what patents are for. I'm generally not a fan of patents, but you can't argue that they don't exist.

There was incredible variety in the phone space prior to the iPhone, phones came in all shapes and sizes with vendors exploring increasingly implausible formats out of desperation. Post-iPhone they all converged, coincidentally I'm sure, on Apple's design. It's only now we're seeing some divergence from that.

Today we're seeing the same ridiculous convergence with keyboards where everyone plus dog is using the Apple layout. This hurts consumers since there's far little choice than there was before.

There's a huge difference between "copying" meaning "taking a good idea and giving it your own spin and making it even better" (e.g. Android vs iOS) and "copying" meaning "making a shitty knock-off version of a thing that looks almost identical to the other thing superficially", as in all the bargain-priced knock-off phones that are sold using Apple's branding (http://mashable.com/2016/06/17/apple-china-knockoffs/#qO0bF3...). Most companies fall in the middle here, but some skew very close to the bottom.
We tried some display ads (non-app installation) on facebook. Since it's CPM+CPC model, our CTR was extremely low and caused CPC very expensive.

I guess they have huge PV so overall performance is high. I wonder what the actual would ROI be for other publishers on FB.
Right, because that's a new thing.
I go in fits and starts; anything from 3-4 books a week to 5 in 3 months. Just find quiet moments; 10 minutes, 6 times a day is an hour all told. I read on the commute, over lunch, whilst waiting for the kettle to boil, when waiting for my partner to change for bed. It adds up.
>A large number of natural distributions follow a power-law distribution.

This is surprisingly debatable. People like to find power-law/scale-free distributions because it implies a neat generative story, but a lot of the "evidence" for power-law distributions is pretty weak. For example, you cannot just show that a log-log plot is linear--lots of other distributions can produce similar plots.

Clauset, Shalizi, and Newman have a very readable paper where they describe 1) how to properly test for a power-law distribution, and 2) use those tests to assess the validity of some claims from the literature (spoiler: not many have "good" statistical support). Here is the paper: http://arxiv.org/abs/0706.1062 Shalizi has a short blog post describing the main results: http://bactra.org/weblog/491.html

It has been said many times, that something else will come around, become more popular, and overthrow facebook. I just don't see that happening now.

For a slightly different perspective from Mussolini:

https://archive.org/details/MyAutobiography

Primary sources are important, they give you details and textures that are smoothed over in a retelling or distillation.

My personal opinion, since this story has basically become about whether or not Trump represents an American Fascist movement, is that crying fascism all the time is very much a 'boy who cried wolf' scenario. I don't think Trump is a fascist per se. Moreover, considering that fascism was a term adopted by the left to describe the heretical forms of syndicalism, socialism, etc that split from Leninism in the early to mid 20th century and was used for the POUM[1] as readily as Hitler's SS[2] I submit that the term in fact means nothing. Fascism has no central character because it's a bogeyman of self described antifas who want to import European style street brawl politics[3] into the United States.

Instead of trying to conceptualize and denounce Trump in terms of the past, I think it would be more effective to point out the concrete dangers he represents to domestic and foreign policy with his actual stated politics, or his hypocrisy, or any of the other many traits you can go after with him.[4]

ISIS has two faces: the globalist terrorist group that organizes out suicide bombings and shootings all over the world, and the sectarian militia group which conquers and holds territory. The nation-state component is very much like Nazi Germany: it's going around conquering its neighbors, persecuting minorities, and there is active resistance from those they have conquered.

Though, as a nation-state ISIS is rather weak; most of its perceived strength comes from the global terrorist attacks. I wonder what would have become of the Nazis if they hadn't taken control of Germany, or if they failed to amass enough military power to invade other nations. Perhaps they would have switched to guerrilla-style tactics and terrorist attacks?
Thanks, I did not see that one before.

I managed to finish it and mostly share your sentiment however I think it is a decent vision/motivation for VR (not so much AR/Pokemon Go style as mentioned in the post). At least for my personal research in VR-UI/UX I like to ask myself "how far is this from RPO...what steps would get us further" since I think the overall "parallel world in VR" is a neat goal to work towards (my personal utopian interpretation ignoring the dystopian view of RPO).

I'm seriously surprised its taken this long for the Times and the media in general to realize what an incredible interviewer he is. He pulls stuff out of people you never hear anywhere.

I can say some of the celebs they have on there I truly despised, then I hear Stern interview them and come away actually liking them. He just seems to get people to open up and then tell some heartfelt stories.

Case in point - never a huge Billy Joel fan. Stern had him in a few years back. Billy sat at a piano during the interview and would plunk around and sing parts of songs while Stern asked questions about everything. It was simply one of the best interviews I've heard. So laid back, and Billy is one smart cat. So many things I learned about him and how his brain ticks and his process for creating music.

I came away from that having a huge change of heart and a ton more respect for what he's done in the industry. No one, and I mean no one, could have an interview like that with Billy. I'm convinced Stern was the only guy capable of pulling out the stuff that he did and the piano and everything, just amazing.

The other interview I will always remember was the TV show he had where he would interview celebs. He was the last person to interview Phil Hartman, with his wife there no less, days before he was murdered. Another great interview that showed a lot of his insecurities and how talented he really was. At the end, Stern had this list of accents (around 8-10 I think) and Hartman, in classic fashion whipped through them all, flawlessly I might add to end the interview.

I think if you weed through all the sexual innuendos and stripper games, you can see not only is Stern incredibly talented as an interviewer, but the love he has for his guests and the rest of the people he works with (Robin, Fred, Ba Ba Booey, Scott, Richard and Sal) is clear.
