Chrome does a really good job hiding that the page is still loading, because it's multithreaded and doesn't cause the UI to seize while the page is loading. Firefox is FINALLY starting to work on this.

Also, note the 12 second time is what the Google+ team clocked as average. Yours may have been faster. Others, were even slower.

It is weird that people on HN accept certain jokes, but downvote the rest to oblivion. I don't mind honestly so long as it isn't a tangent ala Reddit style
Antshares sets out to be the people’s digital asset blockchain
Just checked it, Google.co.uk says it's fine, Google.com says might be infected.

Chrome doesn't give out the malicious site warning on the redirect on either.
LOL at all the janky looking shortened links (http://goo.gl/this) scattered throughout (http://goo.gl/that) the announcement. If they’re looking for a place to improve (http://goo.gl/othrthng), that’s maybe a place to consider?
Chrome is experimenting with something called Expect-CT[1], which allows site operators to indicate that only certificates with valid SCTs should be trusted. The implementation is quite similar to HSTS. It's report-only for now, but will probably evolve to something like Require-CT (i.e. CT enforcement) in the future.

> So in the case of the infamous video about being a single female in New York, from the POV of California law, all of the male "transgressors" in that video were simply exercising their 1st amendment rights.

IIRC, the video doesn't actually follow the fact pattern of the hypothetical upthread (its not limited to examples of a conversation being initiated, declined, and pursued), and does include things which might reasonably be included within some aspects of California's laws on criminal threats and/or disturbing the peace.

But, generally, yes, lots of rude and offensive behavior is neither criminal nor even civilly actionable, just rude.
This is an interesting angle - have you had any feedback from colleges themselves? What's your expected price-per-semester for an average student without the 14-day-free trial?
Thanks! Looks like it worked.
Comodo's position on certificate transparency
Hi Trevor,

We actually are going to be doing some stuff with IBM/NVLink as well as some other neat things I can't announce. We'll be able to benchmark on this front similar to you guys though :).

We'll be doing RDMA for this and plan on writing the code to match that using spark for orchestration and data storage/loading.

Right now the main thing we do is data parallelism on partitions of data with intermittent averaging with data being trained on various spark partitions.

Other than that, we have multi gpu settings.

We've made it pretty configurable though:
http://deeplearning4j.org/gpu

Admittedly, we'll continue to do more work in this area though.

So far fp16 has been pretty nice though :).
Sherman, set the wayback machine for about 110 years ago...

The people who want meat didn't demand tours of the meatpacking factories. They then expected the meat they bought to not be unsanitary and diseased. Why not?
Right, they give you a discount when your max speed is below a certain level. But they really should have the data on hand to provide you with an approximate maximum speed along with their availability check before you buy.
We should stop calling this ride sharing. It's still taxi. Modern taxi.
Interesting point. However, just to be pedantic, if memory bandwidth were the only bottleneck, you'd expect video decoding to generate output faster than memcpy, since it wouldn't have to read as much :-)

My Intel NUC cost me £300 in January and is therefore a fairly low-end machine. It has 307 Gbps of memory bandwidth (2 slots of DDR4-2400). It's surprising how big that number is on a cheap machine today.

I'd love to see a profile of where the CPU time goes in a modern CPU-only video decoder. I guess I could get off my arse and do the profiling myself instead of posting this. Anyway, my guess is that the processor speed is the bottleneck, not the memory bandwidth.
> With a modest amount of effort, we met Duo Security, Farmlogs, Notion, Deepfield, and Llama Soft.

I wonder if Llama Soft ever feels bad about stealing the name of the still-extant British indy game house Llamasoft for much more boring purposes.
No. It should not be mandatory. It would make sense for some fields (kinesiology perhaps) but on the whole it's ridiculous to force it on students.
I think you missed the satire but you raise an interesting perspective. For example, if machine learning knows through a user's phone that they match the locations of someone who drink drives will their online persona be disciplined without their knowledge? The scenario takes a twist if that person was actually a bar worker and not a drinker. Who do we appeal to to reclaim our online reputation if all the patterns match but we are a false positive case?
That might work for food in the freezer, as long as you don't live in an area with wildlife like bears and raccoons. It seems like a huge market for this would be off-grid people, who are going to live in the country where such animals will live. It seems like raccoons are in most American cities anyway.

You are still going to have a problem with refrigerated food - lots of vegetables spoil when frozen and frozen milk isn't much fun. Plus the house is going to be consuming lots of power from lighting and TVs as days go by.

I have family that live in very rural areas. Most of them have diesel generators or tractor PTO generators to cope with power outages that last many days. Such a situation is certainly is something that is survivable without a generator, but not very pleasant. Going through the experience once, many people realize that generators aren't that expensive and buy one to be prepared next time.

You might also wonder about running out of diesel fuel, but most farmers have 500 gallon tanks of (untaxed) diesel for equipment. Hundreds of gallons of diesel lasts a long time.

And if you have something like a dairy farm, a generator is a necessity for such a situation with a milking machine.
These restaurants exist, but they're very expensive, as you'd expect for a place that can afford to let the chef chat with guests.
But, but... Isn't the modern norm to use "native" names wherever possible? Calcutta/Kolkhata, Peking/Beijing and so on? As a token of respect towards actual indigenous cultures.
This is one of the many dark patterns that Facebook uses. It simply does not respect any boundaries the user might wish to have in place...

Install it on your phone? Anyone you have in your phone's address book gets to see your picture under "people you may know".

Someone in your family joins Facebook and friends you? Now everyone you are friends with gets prompted about whether or not they know your family member.

Want to delete some pictures you uploaded to Facebook? It's extremely difficult and they must be deleted one by one.

Other than LinkedIn, I'd say FB is the prime innovator of UI dark patterns that exploit users' unwitting behavior for profit.

The youngest generation of internet users gets this which is why they largely do not use Facebook. Soon they will realize that IG and Whatsapp are connected, and will avoid those too.

What's interesting to me is that the recommendations are fundamentally not useful. It's easy to look someone up by searching for their name without the privacy-invading helpful suggestions.
I agree with the rule. It's meant to discourage people from buying massive expenses with a loan that cant be discharged with bankruptcy.
Where wasn't it dicey in telecom in 2002 onward? It's been noted the dot.com bust was more of a telecom bust than anything else.

I had the ... special privilege of going to work for Lucent in January when they had 106,000 employees (and an Oracle licence for that many seats). When I left in December they were on their way to a planned 35,000, and were eventually bought by Alcatel. It could have been worse, look at Nortel....
This was five times more interesting than I expected it to be.

Any plans to release minified versions of babili? It would probably shave 90% off the install size.
How should I reword this in order not to get downvoted? Is this better?

When I've used Waze in the past, I notice that the default UI features cartoon spermatozoa moving around a road system. Such an aesthetic is going to be off-putting to most serious adults, but it sounds from this article that Waze is playing an important role in some actively developed Google products. I'm curious whether anyone here can shed light on the marketing strategy.
I worked on a PDF text extraction project once, with scientific articles as the primary target.

That stuff is really hard, even when the text is ostensibly present in the PDF (as opposed to the PDF being an image of text). Thing is, it's all just "draw text" commands in the content streams (basically postscript programs). The text commands appear in no particular order and you generally have to compute the layout to see even where the spaces are (which is still a guessing game, because the PDF generator will vary the space width to achieve a visually pleasing format).

OCR is an approach that wasn't quite ready for prime time back then, so it's cool to see people working on it!
> The owner (he sees himself a CTO) is just technical enough to be dangerous. He knows the buzzwords and feels comfortable making decisions without fully understanding the impact.

Three thoughts:

1) The owner/"CTO" is going to create extra stress for you regardless what working relationship you develop. He's not going to get better about this.

2) Just because the company needs someone to be the CTO doesn't mean that it's C-suite/board know that. Without explicit communication about trajectory you can find yourself doing a CTO's job without the recognition, respect, or salary.

3) There's no foul in walking away from something bad for you. It's hard to do when you're used to completing what you start, but every once in a while it's the better decision.
Monsanto's punishment was an $80M settlement. The $22M was just the reward to the whistleblower.
> The goal we object to was the attempt to build a giant country.

Why?

Honestly, how would that be bad? After all the UK consists of Wales, England, Scotland and N. Ireland. People of the past opposed that unity so much they were willing to die to try to prevent it yet on the whole that unity has been undeniably positive.

For the EU for example, how could having an single foreign policy be a bad idea in any way? How does having an EU flag do any harm what so ever? I'd claim that point in particular shows the issue very much is emotionally driven.

And what will make it fall apart except people voting to leave it on grounds as trivial as having a flag?

Likewise such an extreme step as dismantling the entire EU project rather than just fixing the monetary problem can't really be justified rationally and looks pretty overwhelmingly like emotionally driven nationalism.
So what's the next step in the arms race when people move to decentralized exchanges like Bitsquare?
Trolley situations require approximately equal chances of death for passengers and pedestrians. Nobody or nothing can predict such probabilities with any degree of accuracy. Some people die when they trip and fall, others survive 80mph collisions.

So either the situation has obvious probabilities and subsequently obvious solutions or there are such huge error bars that there's no right answer.
> I think it should always choose to protect my safety.

Well, your thinking might be irrelevant.

Let us assume the following points:

- we live in a democracy with self-interest driven voters.
- most commonly the victims in accidents are pedestrians, not occupants of the vehicle. measured by frequency and severity
- not every citizen is a car-user (even in an autonomous-vehicle world). e.g. some may prefer bicycles, especially children

From that we can conclude it is in every citizen's interest that cars do not prioritize occupants of the vehicles, because even if the car takes evasive maneuvers (deprioritizing the occupants) the overall trade-off matrix will still be in favor of the occupant. This arises because we're not actually dealing with a the trolley problem but with more complex continuous variables where 100%-confidence of 100%loss (death) is only an extreme point.

Additionally not every citizen will have any interest at all in being protected while inside a car because they're always outside the car.
Thus the overall interest of the citizens will be to prioritize pedestrians over car occupants. And this being the majority view means means cars with selfish behavior will banned.

Also note that in this scenario your own self-interest aligns with that of everyone else when you're outside a car. It only mismatches while you're inside a car.

But in the end this is all a storm in a teacup. When a system gets to a point where it has to make such tradeoffs then you already failed. And ideally this happens very very rarely. So you just end up shifting 0.0001% risk factors around. There are more important things.
I've seen this phenomenon called 'Rustwins law' as it bears striking similarities to Godwin's law in its inevitability.
> reading a XML to build a GUI on complete time instead on runtime

It can be done with:

void[] ctData = import("file.xml");

For example, this feature is used in vibe.d to compile an HTML template language into more optimized code.
> If there is one thing our world does not lack, it's amoral people. Would you prefer that Facebook only hire them?

If they are currently hiring only amoral people and people who are afraid of expressing their moral outrage, then there is absolutely no difference than if they were just hiring amoral people to start with.
I don't like Material design on desktops. On mobile it works well and I enjoy the experience. On a high res desktop on or above 1080 I feel it just seems lacking.
Those come with the whole compiler at runtime.
Only if you're the only person who knows. If it's more well known than that it's a race to be the first person to whistle blow.
Yours is showing too, along with an unhealthy dose of smugness. GP literally chose to be homeless instead of licking the boots of the wealthy for table scraps, which is a degree of courage above and beyond what could have been expected of him, but it was still courage. Saying that his ability to do this is privileged, is like claiming a man who saves a baby from a burning house is showing his able privilege: true, technically, but grosly unfair and an underhanded way of attacking him.

Why do you eat at restaurants that don't pay staff enough? If "some people" treat service workers badly, and you know this because you've seen it, why don't you tell "some people" that they're acting like pigs?

After the Spanish civil war was underway, tipping was made illegal within the Republic, and George Orwell reports that one of his first experiences "was receiving a lecture from a hotel manager for trying to tip a lift-boy". They had it absolutely right. A business model where staff get paid whatever their customers feel like moves all the financial risk from the rich business owner to the poor worker, emphasises the class differences between the two, and is generally a practice which anyone left-wing enough to be using the word "privilege" should find abhorrent.

I would argue that from a management point of view it's actually a lot nicer for small places to offload to third parties. As a point, my original comment pointed out that somebody else is on-call for that services uptime.
I'm on board with central healthcare. I think the government excels at organizing people and distributing people and tasks across the country, but I'm pretty skeptical of their ability to handle inventory or do construction that doesn't lean on private industry (I mean, I'm sure they could, it's just not what the government is set up to do right now)

Of course, the military is a great logistics machine, but it's also a specialist branch of the government
Oh, well carry on then.
GNU AGPL is an ideal license for free software projects. We are a strong supporter of the GNU project. We chose Apache License for Minio purely for adoption reasons. Most of our users build proprietary software around Minio and their legal council has a default NO policy towards GNU licenses. Besides, FSF has also approved Apache License v2 as a free software license.

Proprietary forks are OK with us. It will be too expensive to maintain branches of their own and catch up with the upstream.

Euro-style telecoms do seem to be kicking US style telecom ass, from a consumer perspective. I know I'm jealous.

I think it's hard to untangle foreign investment from local real estate prices without running into some of the US's fundamental "freedom" tenets, but I haven't looked very closely into what we might do. I feel like it is more of a NIMBY problem, most places
Long live Babel 5.8!

babel@5.8 is faster than babel 6+, can be installed globally and works out of the box. It just... you know, does what versions 1, 2, 3 & 4 did: compile ES2015 into ES5. So I just use that. Not every project is a "node" project that is already dumping megabytes of dependencies into the project directory. I don't want to have to buy into an entire ecosystem just to use one tool—a shim, at that.
I have nothing against Monsanto and think they are a great company, but I'm glad to hear this. Whistleblower programs are important.
This follows the standard rule of questions as article titles: the answer is "probably not."
Just because you turn it off doesnt mean it's not tracking you. Have a look at google location history, it doesn't use GPS but it can still pinpoint you very closely using cell tower triangulation. Stallman was right, we carry the worlds most advanced tracking device in our pockets.
This really only works if people know about it. If they don't, they won't complain when they're making below minimum wage.
If you're not using a plugin such as Facebook Disconnect, pages that have a "Like this on Facebook" embed or similar can accidentally or deliberately reassociate you with your prior identity. Consider this scenario:

1. You log in to your account and get redirected to http://example.com/?user=3834

2) That page has an embedded Like button.

3) When your browser requests the button from Facebook, the referrer is "http://example.com/?user=3834" which is a URL that you visited a lot when your old Facebook login was active, and it was never visited by any Facebook users apart from you.

There are other similar ways they could link you to an old identity if they wanted to, some not necessarily blockable by these plugins, but the above would be simplest.

Sorry to keep being pedantic, but I think it's important to thinking about approaches to scalable and performant TSDBs, and I still disagree :)

Your example re: Cassandra is a problem with a particular example of columnar based time series database, not inherently with using columnar-store based backends for time series data.

At Kentik, our in-house backend deals with 80+ columns wide (what would be tags in TSDB) for primarily network data, and querying across tens of billions of records (tens of devices of data for 90 days) usually takes .5-2 seconds.

That's deployed on ~7 backend data nodes, running heavily multi-tenant with 300k-2m records/second ingested and averaging 450 queries/minute across a week (don't have a peak query # handy).

But there's also nothing that says that a columnar store database can't have indexes per column built-in (vs. external).
The big problem many other places face (or face? I don't know the state of the art) is California has prohibited non-competes for decades: http://www.vox.com/2016/4/12/11349248/noncompetes-silicon-va.... If you want to be the next SV (or better), killing non-competes at the state level is a good place to start.
Two hours a day is not a crazy number at all for some endurance sports. If you do cycle racing 10 hours per week is a good starting point to build up endurance.

But that works because cycling isn't weight bearing, so after the initial exponential learning curve you can pretty much do as much of it as you have time and motivation.

20 miles a day of running, on the other hand, is absolutely not typical. Other than ultra-runners no professional does >100mi/wk regularly simply because the diminishing returns don't justify the linear increase in injury risk and aggravation (it's running, injury incidence is already crazy high).
exFAT works everywhere for me.
This is an actual ride sharing experiment instead of a taxi for hire business, quite nice to see this.
NASA is making a lot of "record-breaking" news in the past few weeks and it is increasingly difficult for me to think how these news affect me and my relationship to the Galaxy. I understood many of these discoveries translated to "current science could be wrong". But if counting stars isn't my hobby, what am I supposed to take a way from this and digest the meaning of 11.1B light years distance?
For a minute I thought that was some kind of general name, say for a business park of a certain size or standing within its state, but according to Google (first hit) it's this place:

One of the aspects of this is that if Ireland were to collect this tax, apparently under EU rules the vast majority of it would go toward paying down their debt. So what do you suppose this is some kind of shake down, in part, by various bond holders?
Because customer service is draining. Because even when you get paid $75k, dealing with assholes still sucks.

I'm gonna hand wave some more: most Americans when they think of good service beyond just being quick on delivery. Good service is about having a friendly conversation and building rapport with another person. It's may be weird for those of us with introverted tendencies, but this is Middle America with big smiling teeth.

Now.. by giving me an immediate incentive (tip) to smile through a bad customer's rudeness (or even harassment--please don't ever hit on people paid to serve you, ever), I'll continue to smile and pour on that syrupy niceness even when I just want to tell a person that they're an asshole and never have to deal with them again.

Personally, I have absolute no problem with tipping, or paying higher prices to pay restaurant workers a better wage, but I think people who are pushing no-tip don't understand the complexities in place.

In the restaurant world, at the end of each night, you'd get a huge wad of cash, and you felt you had worked for it (even though it can be argued people tip consistently). So even though the carrot may not be real, it still convinced people to act a certain way.

Now take away that carrot, take away the cash. You just have better paid McDonald's workers.
your question is very basic, and you should use google to find answers.
