These should be great for attackers - a long-range Bluetooth device with years of battery life. Reprogram these for the MouseJack attack.[1] Get a bag of 50 and spread them around. Profit! If you want to attack a specific company, spread them around that company's building and nearby restaurants. If you repaint them, who's going to notice an extra rock in the landscaping?

If the "remote updating for fleet management" can be attacked, you don't even need to buy them; you can take over other people's.

Hi co-founder here. We do follow a similar goal than sandstorm does, however I think our approaches are quite a bit different.

From your example, we do not have any 3rd party services integrated and it does not even fit into our idea, but instead have single sign-on for all apps bound to your own Cloudron user management. In fact your own Cloudron is for example an LDAP and OAuth provider on its own for the installed apps.

Regarding your high friction to get going, we only now started to support self-hosting outside of our managed version, so there are still rough edges as well, but that is what we are focusing on next. This is also one of the reasons, we only currently support AWS (even though other providers are in the works), the setup to get to your Cloudron should be easy, afterall that is one of the main goals to make self-hosting easy. If you have more feedback in that area, that would be great.
The word "sustainable" in your reply is a joke when you consider the unsustainability of the automobile for single rider transit. Electric or not, it's a tough sell compared to mass transit.
Fascinating! I wish I had studied some geology. I learned here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSSxdogrv1s that the mountains and lakes around Puget Sound run north-south because of glacial descent, and that the huge boulders we find scattered about the area are called 'erratics' as they were moved here by glaciers. I show everyone I can that video but I just get weird looks.

I wished the article had fleshed out the ramifications of the ice cap a little better.
Ive lived here most of my life, in both southern and (currently) northern California. Sure, the weather is nice, but my advice would be to stay away unless you are already wealthy or forced to move here for work etc.

If you live in any sort of population center expect traffic to be a nightmare from 6-11am and 3-7pm. Taxes are also some of the highest in the country and poorly implemented social policies continue to increase these on an annual basis.

If you are looking for something in particular that California has to offer, there is almost always better alternatives (see: Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, etc...)

Well, to your point B: for a start, I've already paid Apple. They have much less financial incentive to use my data in ways inimical to me than, say, an advertising company would.
> They could lease out the hardware to achieve the same effect

No, they could not. The GPLv3 requires modification information be provided to the "user" by whom a consumer product is "received", not only the "owner" by whom it is "purchased", so lease vs. sell has no effect on the obligations (at least no effect clear from the text of the license.)
> still remember the time, like before and during the first couple years of elementary school, when i was reading whole paragraphs at once, visually, silently, ie. without in-head pronunciation.

Ugh. Until my mid-20s I read with in-head pronunciation, and that was good. Now I've stopped -- don't know why -- and it's done terrible things to my understanding and recall of what I'm reading. It makes it much easier to read something and forget it near-instantaneously.

Groovy needs two lines (@Grab and import) to get a dependency. Golang only requires the import. Perhaps Groovy needs to be rewritten in Go.

We're not "selecting" sentences as an extractive summarizer might. The sentences are generated.

As for how does the model deal with co-reference? There's no special logic for that.
About slowing down, it's pretty predictable. The idea is even to run the ship in constant acceleration.

I don't think you'll want to actually navigate that ship. It's a point and go task. But if needed, you rotate the ship and keep accelerating. But I have no idea on how much you'd be able to fix your route after you discovered it is wrong.

I think the main issues are how do we make a ship where people can live for decades? And how do we launch it from the ground?
Same here, on a current-gen MBP.
It's taken me way out of the way, and through a toll bridge when that was not even close to the best way to go. Safari is bad because it's behind the times, and doesn't keep up with standards. Makes it really annoying to have to wait to use certain features because IE and Safari can't keep up.

Sandstorm founder here. Thanks for the feedback. This is a bit off-topic for this thread (apologies to Cloudron), but I wanted to clarify that one of Sandstorm's authentication options is "e-mail", i.e. authenticate using any e-mail address. While technically e-mail is a "third-party service", it is decentralized and ubiquitous.

There are two reasons we don't like plain username/passwords:

- They are notoriously insecure. If you're running a server with passwords you usually want dedicated staff to deal with account hijackings, which self-hosted servers obviously won't have.

- They are not global identities, i.e. someone else's Sandstorm server cannot authenticate the same identity. So if you transfer an app to a different Sandstorm server (something we aim to make easy), all the identities would have to be replaced with new ones local to the new server, which will probably confuse the app.

With that said, we have been thinking about other ways to solve these problems and we might introduce a plain old username/password option in the future.
dafuq!
In my mind, this article is squarely aimed at that segment. They are trying to tell one of the most competitive labor markets in the world, AI developers, that they're hiring, but more importantly, that they're doing interesting things.
We really needed yet another editor that "revolutionizes" programming by adding sliders to variables.

Thank goodness!
I cannot understand, why even highly educated people fail to make this distinction between gross pay and the net pay.

If that "provided you accept certain amount of rides" keeps increasing since more people will make use of such subscriptions, the operating expenses (fuel + wear and tear) continues to increase.
Imagine being unemployed and you have your answer. Also we're not really gaining in productivity anymore (or we do but it has not much of an economically measurable effect) and haven't for a while now.

You blame Safari for not being Chrome? I mean, OK, I guess, but there are a lot of browsers that aren't Chrome. Why single out Safari for vitriol?

(And I'm not even going to touch the frankly invidious IE comparison.)
> If they can kill the competition they can then crank the prices back up and profit of this for years and years. It feels slightly 'evil' but it does make business sense, especially if they know they can outlast their competitors.

They can do that, if they want anti-trust problems. I bet Uber wants Lyft to survive so they can have a substantially similar competitor to point to when the government's lawyers come knocking.

Hey there- I was the product manager for this product at Mixpanel. I can help explain how Mixpanel addresses those points effectively and how we differentiate ourselves.

A few things Mixpanel does really well:

* Mixpanel is the most complete reporting platform: We have been around since 2009 and have evolved to allow customers to get deep analysis of their data. Mixpanel has more than double the reports and allows you to do things like predict which users will convert, a/b test outcomes and identify issues in user flow, all of which helps our customers make data driven decision, understand your revenue, and more. Additionally with Mixpanel you can dive even deeper into your data to make smart business or product decisions.

* Mixpanel offers a fully integrated marketing suite: Using Mixpanel you can also learn about and re-engage your users with a full suite of notifications include email, push, sms, in-app, and surveys and get full reporting on the impact.

* Mixpanel is truly cross-platform: Mixpanel is the one stop shop for cross platform analytics without a developer. We are able to track data on web and mobile, no matter the device or platform.

Regarding some of your specific points:

* Performance: We have done extensive performance testing and haven’t seen or heard any issues for our customers using the product. The requests previously mentioned are asynchronous requests and have extremely little performance impacts on our customers’ product. If it turns out this is really a selling point adding client side queueing can be done in less than a week.

* Data trustworthiness: 30% data discrepancy here is extreme and our testing works well- I would recommend just trying it out yourself. Again, special handling for link tracking can easily be added if we detect issues for customers (we are constantly monitoring data accuracy)

* Scale: Mixpanel has been around since 2009 and have significant experience dealing with scale. Owler is just one example of a customer we have using Autotrack but we have a paying customer base of 4,200, with tens of thousands more customers using Mixpanel for free. Many of those customers are already using Autotrack to send many millions of events every day.

* Pricing: Mixpanel doesn’t charge for the retroactive data that we have collected only the data you use. While you do have to decide at the event level if an event is worth it- it is most closely tied to the value you receive from Mixpanel. You only pay for data that is actionable and can drive ROI. With session based pricing, even if you have users that aren’t truly using your product you still have to pay, even though they are not giving you great insights about your business.

Hey, don’t take my word for it just sign-up and see.
You can insult Theresa May as much as you like, you won't charged under this law - as long as May is not in Germany when you do so.

The law only universally applies to Heads of States, not Heads of Governments.
Assuming they'd be capable of detecting the signal. And able to interpret it. And willing to respond.
I think Salesforce Chatter is a good implementation of this. Basically any object in Salesforce (cases, contacts, any custom object like bug reports) has a chatter feed attached to it where people can post and reply. Its got functional @mentions and file attachment. There are also generic Group feeds for communication with a group of people not relating to a specific object.

However, it's more of a comment thread than a real time chat application. You have to refresh the page to see new updates. Also since there is no where to "hang out," it's hard to talk to someone directly. Sometimes you post and have to @mention three of four groups to find someone to respond.
> Although this task serves as a nice proof-of-concept, we started looking at more difficult datasets where reading the entire document is necessary to produce good summaries. In those tasks training from scratch with this model architecture does not do as well as some other techniques we’re researching, but it serves as a baseline.

That would suggest that this method doesn't work well for long documents.
North and south magnetic poles are named after the north and south celestial poles because they seem to coincide. That doesn't apply to the solar poles.

People always make use of local geographic features when describing directions; river communities use "upstream" and "downstream" and island communities use "inland" (away from the sea). Those aren't termed poles (even though "inland" is defined by reference to a line perpendicular to the ground!), and while I agree that the axis of orientation to the sun is more pole-like than they are, it's still different enough that I don't see that it would necessarily be referred to in the same terms.
that is pretty awesome
I was in the same boat as you so I left my job last Thursday, and I'm flying to Bangkok in Thailand in 5 hours.

Excited yet terrified.

My worry has been that I am spending a portion of my life savings on this trip. But as my sister rightly pointed out, life savings are for major life events and this is definitely one of those events.
Might be wrong, but anyone else found that the site seems to be only available in the German version (/de/ in the URL) as of now? Tried a few different things, but not getting the English version. Seems to either redirect back to .de site or give a 404 error. Both changing the URL to sensible values (/en/ or nothing instead of /de/) and selecting English from the drop-down at top right, did not work.

Another possibility: could be it's a region-wise rollout? But would have expected .en first, unless the latest acquirer of the product line is German. (Seem to remember reading recently that it got sold again.)
Ask HN: Modern live streaming solutions for the web
Now that Blab has shut down, it renewed my interest in live streaming. Last time I approached the problem, the consensus was to use Flash for RTMP. After Chrome has renounced support for it, I would like to know what other solutions are currently available. I know WebRTC is one, but peer-to-peer streaming has its limitations. How did services like Blab do it? Is it through Websockets?
I don't think so. Rust has excellent support for concurrency, but does not have any interesting parallel constructs. Which means that while it can probably be fine for coarse-grained multicore parallelism, it does not provide the fine-grain parallelism you need on something like a GPU.

Although we can't image it with current technology (JWST and Hubble both have resolution of 100 milliarcseconds) we might be able to within a few years.

IR inferometers will be able to give us some data in just a few years, and the E-ELT/TMT will also let us "image" it. The "image" won't be anything you can really look at (E-ELT has resolution one milliarcsecond) but it'll give us important data.
Normally no, but here the "owner" was claiming it is the artist's work, not a facsimile or reproduction. So this is an exact case of the normally theoretical ill that trademark and brand related law is supposed to protect against: something that is honestly confused with the work of a manufacturer with a substantial cost to that manufacturer.

Try doing this at the border with a "rolix" and that offended manufacturer has rights to protect their interests not a responsibility to show up to convince customs that your rolix is a real rolex from back when they had trouble spelling. So I'd say this is an example of different justice for different relative social status.

Almost two thirds of participants (drawn from a cross-section of middle-class Americans) reported at least one such experience.

None of this was clear after a few reads through that page.

Woah, they explicitly excluded Bernal? Harsh.
Note that Sandstorm also offers "passwordless email" login, which is kinda like doing a password reset for each login. The primary reason for this is that the Sandstorm team doesn't feel a normal username and password setup is adequate security with the level of protection identity providers like Google and GitHub currently offer, and because they also want to make sure the same account can be used across any Sandstorm server for eventual federation purposes. I kind of wish you could use a more insecure login method if you wanted to, as well, but that's the reasoning for it at least.

If you don't use Sandcats, which provides free dynamic DNS and wildcard SSL, Sandstorm is a bit more work to set up, but that is because it is almost certainly more secure. Sandstorm is designed to protect you from malicious or buggy apps, which require a lot of mitigation strategies that Cloudron doesn't look to offer. Some of these are why Sandstorm currently can't work with Let's Encrypt, for instance.

But Cloudron definitely has friendlier URLs, which seems to be a particularly strong desire for some people. A little DNS management could handle that for Sandstorm where desired, but they don't have that figured out yet.

Probably the biggest difference between the two is that Sandstorm doesn't put "apps" at the top level of organization, but puts "grains" (basically, files or instances) as the top organizational structure. This means individual documents run entirely separate instances of applications, which makes them more secure. It's difficult to provide say, etherpad.mysandstorm.com because each Etherpad document you have open is a completely separate Etherpad server!
