Which gets to the post (so I assume this is meant ironically/sarcastically?), steep learning curve of numerous tools.

What lawyers (specialists in their field) and others negotiating contracts could use is a subset of git, with better UI.

They need version control of the document.

They need to know who can edit it at this stage, or who needs to sign off (workflow management).

They need to know who did edit it.

Systems like this exist that are better than git, some people in the software industry use requirements tracking databases. These are almost literally what's needed once you (often included in them) add on the workflow management: collaborative document editing, ability to view diffs, knowledge of who edited it, restrictions on who may edit it and when, etc.

But if it's too small a field, or too disconnected from those of us who can make it, then software like this won't be made or widely used and they'll continue using the functional (but error-prone) method of copy/rename and email.
> I also don't see why a "#sponsored" hash tag is not enough. Anyone who cares can understand hash tags.

I didn't see any complaint in the article about a "#sponsored" tag. I did see complaints about "#sp" and "#spon", which are opaque if the reader is not already familiar with what they mean.

> The FTC thinks #ad is okay if it's at the beginning of a post, but #sp and #spon aren't.
capitalism wouldn't "crumble" if people who had no need for a product happened to have possession of it. If I had a free tugboat in my back yard, that does't alter the market for tugboat operators in any nearby port.

I thought that it has been economically proven that digital goods such as mp3 downloads have zero value, since each additional copy costs the manufacturer 0.
But what you did was the equivalent of telling a friend "Oh yeah, going to the zoo costs $12.50 per person". It's disingenuous at best. Your friend will quite rightly believe that if they go there with their family of 5 it will cost them $62.50 instead of costing $50.
Ah, that's quite pleasant. And it doesn't even appear to use the browser's PDF renderer or anything.
It's really much more than that. There's an ecosystem around ClojureScript that's completely separate from Js, and I find the CLJS ecosystem to be far better in many respects.
Baidu AI Lab/Sunnyvale, CA/Full-Time
Baidu's Silicon Valley Artificial Intelligence Lab is looking for strong software engineers (backend, mobile, web), researchers (machine learning or HPC systems), and one Product Manager! If you are interested in AI research or creating AI products, please apply here: http://usa.baidu.com/careers/ and mention HN.

The mission of the Silicon Valley AI Lab is to develop AI technologies that we believe will have a significant impact on the lives of at least 100 million people. Our research is built on the powerful combination of deep learning, large datasets and high performance computing. In fact, SVAIL has both deep learning and systems research teams that work hand in hand to explore the latest in deep learning algorithms as well as find innovative ways to accelerate AI research with new hardware and software technologies. Our team has developed a new kind of deep learning-based speech system called DeepSpeech that uses massive neural networks to replace most traditional speech technology. If you are interested in learning more, MIT Tech Review just named us 2nd Smartest Company and reviewed our lab's work here: https://www.technologyreview.com/s/600766/10-breakthrough-technologies-2016-conversational-interfaces/
Sure, but isn't that a selling point of GCP?

If GCP can bring 80% of the benefits of AWS at a reasonable price for shops without the requirement of deep AWS & devops expertise, isn't that a really excellent place to occupy?

People here often seem to have an implicit assumption that AWS's complexity is either inevitable or inherently of value. I'd point to Azure as another alternative rejection of that viewpoint that serves a wider audience of technical skill levels than GCP. And honestly, I really like working with Azure.

I've built a few businesses on AWS now, and I know and trust it. But it has a ton of infuriating features and many many things they've promised have been delayed years. I'm not opposed to a new CSP at all. Why would anyone be?

I... mis-parsed the reply as saying that bloom filters haven't been part of a curriculum from which to remove it, and took it as a dig at the lack in CS curricula (which sentiment I would empathize with).

When Google first brought it to light I know most of the people I had access to had never encountered Bloom Filters in their college carreers. I can think of a handful of other things we 'should have learned' in school that just never came up (and I'm not even talking about practical skills, just theory).

Apologies for the mixup. Interesting to see the mix of up- and down-votes I got from this one. I wonder if some people made the same mistake I did...
It was a little different with Bitcoin. There was a time where it was a very passive thing.

You leave the computer on and you mined bitcoins (whole blocks, not just a fraction of a fraction of a reward from a mining group). I left the bitcoin software on for a single week back then. I could have left it on for a few months and mined like 1000+ bitcoins, but I only left it on for a week. I was excited about it too, and thought this could be the future of money, but even back then it didn't occur to me that the price of them would ever shoot up like that. So after a week I got bored and was like "I'll check it out again in a year or so once more people are into it."

You had to actively buy Beanie Babies (or request them as gifts), and sometimes wait in ridiculous lines for hours, etc. A closer analogy would be if someone sent you brand new Beanie Babies for free every week, as long as you said you wanted them.

Granted, you could have taken more active measures to acquire Bitcoin even back then (like that 10,000 bitcoin pizza, for example), but it doesn't require the amount of headspace that something like Beanie Babies would (hunting down the uniques, knowing how much each one is worth, etc). I never got into selling Magic:The Gathering cards even though I played the game for the same reason.

I'm not actually beating myself up about it, I'm just realizing the trajectory of my life would have gone a lot differently if only I let that software keep running several years ago.
Ok but where do I find those for my field? I'd just like engaging material to read that will provide others insights into how I can do my job better then I currently can.

Andrej, thank you very much for making this site. I use it every day.

A problem: I think one of the most necessary things that are missing from arXiv.org is comments. People just come, read, and then take their discussions somewhere else, fragmented all around the net. Arxiv-Sanity already filters just the ML articles and does personalized feeds, maybe it could also be a place of discussion. I know it potentially leads to other complications (like moderation), but I really think readers would benefit from reviews, questions and answers.

The current ML related discussion sites (blogs, /r/machinelearning, G+, Twitter, StackExchange and YC) are often mixed with lots of noise. I'd like to read what researchers think.

Another suggestion: add links to code repositories, where they are available. Maybe some of your trusted users could be empowered with the right to add such links, if it's too much work for a single person. If interesting discussions are reported on other pages on the internet, they could also be added to the article, to make them easier to find.
What's the solution to the personas problem on Tumblr? (I'm not an active Tumblr user.) Interestingly enough, we did see a lot of the type of content relevant to this on Tumblr. We built a Tumblr import tool to allow people to pull in their content from Tumblr. We also cross-posted some of our content out to Tumblr.
Cleveland is fine if you are reasonably well off. Like many run down urban areas it is currently going through a substantial revival (driven mostly by "hipsters" opening vegan restraunts and the like.)

The reason why it's on the frontpage now is that a Google employee posted it, and probably had a bunch of other employees upvote it. Jason Ganetsky is the lead developer of the Pub/Sub feature talked about in the article (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-ganetsky-691aa43) and almost all his submissions are Google announcements: https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=jganetsk

EDIT: While I enjoy the downvotes, I did some more research. This submission is not even the first dupe of this submission: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=lugassy.net

The first share was by the author (reasonable and unsurprising), and the first dupe was by a user who is also almost entirely Google Cloud promotional submissions: https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=vgt His username is a hard string to search because it's short, but if you read a few comments, it doesn't take long to confirm vgt is another Googler working on GCE: https://twitter.com/thetinot

Apparently, that promotional attempt wasn't too successful so they tried again today.

It hasn't been their core business historically, but all they're doing is commercializing stuff that's been in internal use for many years. And they've publicly been making a VERY hard push into the cloud business... they aren't going anywhere.
Why do you think Cloudformation sucks?
Pointed out that you're thinking close mindedly isn't an insult. You're seeing only from your perspective.

And saying that in a group of people who think more along the lines of what I described, that you would be considered an asshole isnt calling you an asshole, its saying that in that situation you people would consider you that. In the same way that me, being a thinking-rather-than-feeling person, am often accused of being an asshole by feelers...

Neither of those are attacks on you. I never said your viewpoint was wrong, I even said its valid, but it doesn't play well with people of the other viewpoint, and that
neither is better, just different...

Seriously dude, stop looking for the fight, there isn't one. You're taking offense way too easily here...

Yes, the use of bare "=" for assignment is one of the Great Mistakes of Computing, right up there with null references and zero-terminated strings. There have certainly been languages that have used other operators for assignment, such as ":=" or my own favorite, "<-", but somehow they have never caught on. "=" was good enough for Fortran in 1956, by god -- it's still good enough 60 years later!
only thing that worked for me is counter intuitive 'sleep restriction'. Wake up earlier and earlier everyday until you naturally fall asleep at night. Hard part is waking yourself up in morning when you feel like sleeping more.
Yep, there is also a pretty decent tech scene driven by a couple of local successes (mostly RPI affiliated):

Wow, thank you for that amazingly informative reply! I wish I could give you ten upvotes. This is what HN comments should be all about.
I'm not sure I can express this in propositional logic :)

In the above case, there were many comments that were both uncivil and unsubstantive, as well as many warnings and requests to stop, so we were squarely in the ban zone.

Incivility is worse than unsubstantiveness, so the threshold for getting banned for the former is lower. We've banned accounts that only posted fluff comments, though, since that's not the intended use of this site.

One thing HN users should know is that the substantiveness rule has an exception for empty, friendly comments such as "thank you" and "congratulations", because while those aren't substantive in content, they are salutary for the community.
My parents unfortunately did this to my brother. Especially my mom: "oh you're SO handsome/smart/awesome, all the girls will love you, you should go to the best colleges" etc. He is an extremely unpleasant person now, and definitely not popular with women.

It is not entirely parents' fault. I mean, a ton of men have had the same type of conditioning, but then go on to have a series of uncomfortable epiphanies in high school and college that lead to self-improvement and later happiness. But it for sure is setting your kid up for misery, whether temporary or permanent.
> I get the feeling that anything about GCP could change or disappear at any time for any reason and I as the customer is left to react to these changes.

Google is very committed to GCP and you see it in their work. Much like Amazon, they have a huge sum of computing capacity they aren't always using. It's an obvious business play.

But what's more, it's become the basis of differentiating their mobile platform. Google is trying to develop and sell-for-cheap the tools to make really good mobile apps (e.g., Firebase) to try and shore up the app ecosystem of their platform.

Given that a lot of the things they offer are 3rd gen variants of their core tech for developing things internally, it seems fairly reasonable to assume they're in this for the long haul.
"Sleeping animals are incredibly vulnerable to attacks, with no obvious benefit to make up for it — at best, they waste precious hours that could be used finding food or seducing a mate; at worst, they could get eaten."

It seems pretty obvious that sleep had an evolutionary advantage to conserve energy when the species couldn't be productive. For example, human sleep during the night because we can't forage / hunt / find a mate during the night because our vision requires light.
Its much harder to analyse web request that don't generate a cascade of derived requests. The signature of a page visit that pulls in a bunch of different sized resources from a plethora of advertising sites is much more distinctive. If the great firewall wants to know what you are reading, or if that TLS connection is actually a tunnel, the request signature is very useful. Even for sites with a CSP requiring everything encrypted this is still useful. It is quite feasible for state security to place ads for content that matches China related content.

Even internally in China, having websites load ads is very useful for tracking and injection. Local ad serving companies will cooperate completely with the provincial and national security bureau.

Actually, going on my other post, this isn't as limited a use-case as you might think.

Anyone doing contracts, requirements documents, writing/editing cycles could use something like this with varying additional capabilities.

With no change to philosophy (still staying on the user side), a system could be made based off the principles of existing software.

You need some workflow management software + a document store. The document store needs to provide rich text editing, and the ability to edit only specific sections in parallel. "section" is a customizable unit depending on the type of contract. Could be paragraphs, or larger logical units. Part of the workflow management is kicking the contract back and forth between you and your collaborators and the other stakeholders. At various stages it's editable by different people, some stages are just for review (not edit), finally various sign-off stages.

It's pretty typical of requirements document databases. You'd need it exposable to third parties outside your company, and you'd also need confidence in privacy and security. Neither are trivial, but neither are impossible.

The software for your needs literally exists, but isn't marketed to you. It's too costly for smaller offices (both licensing costs and management costs), and would require a good sales pitch because, well, people don't like change.

Google has been putting a lot of time and effort into cloud in the recent years and doesn't look to be slowing down anytime soon.

As to ease your worry here a little, any launched cloud products have at a minimum a 1-year deprecation policy[0]. Anecdotal: AppEngine deprecated their Master/Slave datastore[1] in April 2012, and it was actually shutdown on July 6, 2015. So that's 3+ years to move to newer tech.

To add to your point:

> Google lets you set up simple Firewall rules. Amazon gives you VPC, security groups, network access control lists and a big, fat headache.

AWS also gives you firewall rules, in addition to the other options. If you don't get why you would need them, you don't really have to use them.
> Users need to be clear when they're getting paid to promote something, and hashtags like #ad, #sp, #sponsored --common forms of identification-- are not always enough.
Yes, because that's how lists work. Just like in Haskell.
Because massive json files with pseudo-invocation syntax and a ton of gaping issues that aren't readily solved by pre-existing template solutions pauses for breath and just bizarre decisions about holding and fielding and really poor integration with new services (you can tie ECS clusters in a knot with CF trivially) and API call limit hits KOing CF provisioning jobs and...

I mean, what it's doing is hard and I use it over, say, Chef... but it's not a "good" product. Heck, you cannot even truly validate CF templates without running them. The CLI and builder just do a crude structural check pass. Got a case error in a nested structure? Too bad, the entire job is rolling back.
The developmental advice I've heard is that you should praise the act, not the attribute.

That is, if they do something clever, you praise the clever thing they did, not the fact that they're clever. I know that probably sounds like splitting hairs, but kids and adults have at least as many issues communicating as adults and other adults have.
An effect size of 2% is pretty small.

Very curious as to what time period we mean here.

Some other confounding variables:

1. introverts happen to be more common in the industries that did well during this study. (say media vs. energy)

2. a few highly extroverted people might be throwing off the whole study

3. the effect size is so small it could just be significant at 95%. Can we check 99% confidence?
Not the parent, but for one, doing a CF update is all-or-nothing. Either you roll the whole thing out, or you roll the whole thing back. If you have a lot of servers, and things are going down, you want to just STOP. But you can't. Also, if you click too quickly, sometimes you can get into a weird state and not be able to rollback OR update anymore.

"Moreover, people you invite to projects must be Gmail or Google App users"

Potentially a deal-breaker for us. We had a LOT of issues accessing various Google services after switching from Google Apps to Office 365, which is cheaper and includes the office suite which the rest of the world use.

I deploy all the different little code projects I make to different domains and I've hit the Let's Encrypt rate limit. If (like me) you waited a couple months to secure these little side projects, you'll hit the rate limit too. That being said, I just waited a week -- now everything is secure.
