So, do they have my number if I agreed to the new terms but I didn't set my telephone number inside FB?
Ha, well if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Whether Apple did something illegal isn't really what people are bringing up, but whether Ireland and Apple agreed to a loophole no one at the EU level actually intended. It'd sorta be like Apple getting out of paying U.S. federal tax because of a California loophole that disproportionately applies to Apple.

I don't see the EU giving Microsoft grief. It'd seem they're paying EU taxes differently than Apple.
I think that TensorFlow gets so much news because it's Google's play and Google is a big player, less so because it's clear that it's the technical winner. Having only briefly looked into libraries, Caffe seems to be the winner in actual usage and in real results. It's also used in lots of benchmarking. TensorFlow is just too new to have much dominance.

Of course, it's quite likely that I'm very wrong too. But I think your poll is going to be largely answered by people who are not doing deep learning but might do it in the future, which is going to be based mostly on what hits the news, rather than on the merits of the packages themselves. When polling a general discussion community like HN, I think it would be important for people simultaneously vote on which of the packages they 1) have heard of, 2) have used, 3) would use for a new project today.

Absolutely, our focus currently is on multi-server minio which is being actively developed on the "distributed" branch https://github.com/minio/minio/tree/distributed

Our current stable version can export single disk or multiple disks (using erasure coding providing protection against disk failures) As it is very easy to get started with (single binary, thanks to Go) people find it attractive for dev/test environments.

To replicate for HA (even for the single server version), use "mc mirror -watch SOURCE TARGET" command to pair them up. If you have multiple drives (JBOD), you can eliminate RAID or ZFS and use Minio's erasure code to pool them up. Distributed version is also in dev/testing at the moment. It should be out in a month.
It would take a massive upgrade to most ISP internal networks to allow each home to use 25 mbit at the same time. There are bottlenecks that would have to replaced.

Here's how to fix this:

1. Foreign deductions are taxed based on the difference between the locale where the earnings are made and the locale the service/product is provided from. Where the sales division is located has no relevance to taxability, and deductions for sales costs are treated as any other internal service.

2. IP is enforced on the national level, and should not be eligible as a foreign deduction. Good-will also follows the local market.

3. Documentation should be provided that foreign costs are real, and that they are actually taxed. Tax agreements should be null and void if systematic abuse is uncovered.

The problem right now is that no company can compete against these cheats.

Personally, I think Ireland has scammed the rest of Europe for long enough by now.

Likewise, I wouldn't be surprised if a large part of India's competitiveness in asses-in-seats outsourcing is created by artificial tax rule phenomena - and various constructs to exploit these.
I disagree with that article completely.

> We need our bodies and our internal organs to live

Implies you can live without body? Neither mind, nor consciousness is live, that's why you literally don't live if you don't have body. There's no philosophical dilemma here - life must be able to replicate. Mind can't replicate. It's not alive.

> 2. We must eat to survive

Literally. A physical body, which is the only way to be alive, needs physical atoms to exist, and acquisition of the building blocks is called eating.

> 3. We must die

Only point I can semi-agree with. Life span can be reasonably extended. No immortality though.

> 4. We must work to live

Not even starting.

I don't remember now where I read it, but crows will lead hunters to game. There was a certain signal the hunters would give to tell the crow that they were hunting, and the crow would fly over the game and dip its wing in a certain way to let the hunters know where it was without tipping it off.

Given that generic public finances science being done, a reasonable explanation is expected when it is being requested.

I think, in practice, SDCs will be programmed with a slight preference against saving the driver (including favoritism toward passengers).

This is because they will have made an agreement with the driver in advance, and have a known quantity to pay in case of collision death, while amount they have to pay out for other random people will be less predictable [1] and err on the high side since they're so deep-pocketed.

This matches my intuition on the trolley problem, which is that you have to factor in the "non-involvement" of the guy not on the tracks -- he should count as more than one person because he did not deliberately take on the risks of crossing an active track. Ditto for diverting the trolley off the track into a random person's house. But such people aren't worth infinitely more either: you should probably divert a terrorist nuke from an urban area to a sparsely-populated desert, even though the hermits might have deliberately chosen the desert because it was an unlikely terrorist target.

By default, D has no safeguards to prevent you from doing memory-unsafe things, and afaik no compile-time checks short of marking your main method as @safe. However, because the language is by default memory managed, it is fairly easy to stick to safe code without this by avoiding pointer/cast voodoo.
Everyone prefers they look at community college which is super flexible, dirt cheap, and will accept anyone.

There are also legit apprenticeship programs for trades.

The for-profit schools have a decades long record of charging 10x community college rates, paying teaching staff poorly, and almost always having poor standards of education. If government loans were ineligible, most of these institutions would close over night instead of trying to continue with poor friendly community college rates.

What metric is that? On what scale is "The Midwest" an economic union?

Uber and Lyft have had to tackle so many legal issues already. Drastically improving and modifying how they deal with drivers on a daily basis from both an operational and legal standpoint.

If what the article says is true about google vetting problem drivers with mere user reviews, they don't know what they are getting into.

I think the idea is great of course, and I imagine it would cut down on freeway traffic during commute hours. It just seems that the legal web of trust, insurance, safety, etc will be a lot to handle.
I think HN should probably stay the course. The current guidelines attract interesting and insightful comments and thought provoking stories. You can teach things through humor and not every academic discussion has to be dry. So why not add humor to something insightful? Because that raises the bar and I think that's what we want. If we just add humor/fun posts, we've just lowered the bar and then invite low effort posts and comments.

Getting up and going to the gym sucks right now. It sucks in the 10 minutes it takes me to get to the gym. It may suck for some time while I'm there. It sucks after when I think about the time I could have spent playing videogames or doing work ( I'm a notorious workaholic so this is big for me). It feels great in 20 years if I do it consistently enough.

Eating crap feels great right now (endorphin release and whatnot). Sleeping in feels great right now. I know what exercising feels like, I know what being lazy feels like. I don't know what diabetes and hypertension feel like. Getting the will to overcome that and make the right choices consistently takes diligent practice and sometimes a little coercion.

As someone whose parents never forced me to play sports, exercise is a particularly bad struggle. I stepped into the gym for the first time in college. I've never really experienced being skinny (I would love to someday and am working towards that). Motivation is slightly more complicated than people like to acknowledge, especially when you consider that the environment we experience now is so drastically different from the environment we evolved in.

Also, in a social species, reproduction is a less acute need for individuals. See: why condoms exist. Personally, I hate the idea of having children. My act of "reproduction" will be making the world a better and more survivable place for the other children of the world whose DNA is 99.99% similar to mine.

Honestly I wish they wouldn't try to compete on price. Maybe I'm alone with this, but I'd rather not feel obligated to tip a driver because the ride is so cheap. Pay them a living wage, let me pay the exact fee, and let me not have to carry goddamn cash like I used to in the era of Taxis.

e: Addressing common replies:

"This is for people commuting already" -- okay, point taken; my point about Uber/Lyft still stands.

"Tipping isn't obligatory" -- yes, it kind of is. Uber used to bar drivers form asking, but they recently lost a lawsuit over that rule and so now Uber drivers will occasionally ask for tips (which will cause it to slowly become the norm). When tipping becomes the norm, the low-base-wage of the driver becomes less of an 'issue', and then tipping becomes even more of a necessity as that is where the drivers will make their actual margins.
Seems like it would be a good idea to try this with a brain-dead head first to look for issues of tissue rejection etc before trying this on living person.
Lucrosa Auto Trader Scam Review
IANAL and I am not an accountant. The short answer is that a corporation (assuming C-Corp) is subject to double taxation. Meaning that you pay personal taxes and corporate taxes. With an LLC (or S-Corp) you only pay personal taxes.

The second part of your question, why an LLC over a Corporation. Well, a corporation has shareholders, where a LLC has members. Two completely different structures. Shareholders own stock which is easily (or easier to) transferable.

Finally, Delaware is preferable because it has specific courts for handling business law. The judges tend to be well-versed and the laws are "business friendly".

The decision really comes down to what you intend to do with the business (if you plan to raise funds through equity you will need to sell shares which, for basic purposes, require a corporation), who is going to be involved in the business, and what your long-term goals. You should consult with an attorney or accountant prior to making a decision.
Right, but the author was estimating cost over the lifetime of the vehicle, not possible breakeven down the road if they get bored and sell or some other general use-case. In the author's case, is the up front cost they included not enough?

Yes, you are correct, it addresses the well-known possibility for an active eavesdropper in the DH protocol.

The interlock technique is very clever, I have never seen anything quite like it. However, at first glance, I do not know where the data blocks MA and MB for the interlocking come from. If they are hard-coded, breaking the scheme is trivial for C. If they are dependent on A or B, then we presuppose knowledge about the other party, and in that case, why not just use public key infrastructure with public keys for A and B?

I think the most important stepping stone that makes it hard to apply this protocol in practice is that you somehow need these blocks MA and MB of information that C does not have. If we are talking about voice samples here, it is likely that you can recognize them, but not your computer. Therefore, you'd also need some complex UI interactions to make sure it really is the other person. I'm having a hard time thinking about a practical application and its security implications right now.
yeah, that's the case. Could you clarify? I'm just seeing old articles claiming the last court verdict on the matter was that the FCC overstepped its authority in that particular case? Did some case or law change this? But yeah, hard to see how discriminating a particular protocol w/o cause could be network neutral.
Let's lay it out more clearly.

Let (a) => a group can have a much larger subgroup of its members be something X compared to other groups (e.g. more black criminals than whites, more violent Europeans than Japanese, etc.).

Let (b) => an X subgroup is X because of itself ("caused its own harm").

So, I'm not saying (a) or (a)+(b) can't happen.

What I'm saying is that for (b) to hold, the group should have either a genetic reason to be so, or a cultural one, and the cultural one must also be of their own choosing (e.g. not imposed upon them by external pressure/circumstances).

What I'm also saying is I don't see (b) holding for blacks.

I haven't seen evidence (aside from far-right/racist writings) that they have genetic reasons to be more criminal, etc.

And I haven't seen much in their criminality / culture that can't be explained by their status as ex-slaves/racism targets/subjects of racist legislation/practices, etc.

In other words, I think that for (b) to hold, you have to be in control of your destiny/world in a way that slaves by definition are not, and ex-slaves/second-rate citizens arguably are not.

> Not just that. Once the income has been taxed outside the US, it can no longer be taxed by the US.

Just to clarify, money that is taxed outside the US gives you a credit towards your US taxes. So if the money is taxed at 2% in Ireland, and then repatriated into the US, they would still be taxed on the difference between the 35% US corporate tax rate and the 2% they've already paid. Now if Apple has to pay Ireland 12.5% instead of the 2% it's paying now, the US would still get the remaining 22.5%.

Elm's event machine like architecture goes well with Phoenix's native support for channels, although the elm library for Phoenix Channels is definitely not production ready.

It has been a very bizarre experience having dynamic typing on the back end and static on the front end, though. Everything feels slightly topsy turvy.

It is morally wrong to pay a lower tax rate than your neighbour. If Apple were investing their money into R&D, operations or higher pay checks no one would be complaining. But they're engaging in aggressive tax planning merely to hoard the cash.

> Apple creates more, and better, jobs than the book store they shut down to open a showroom.

It's not about Apple's showroom vs book store. Its about Apple's massive cash pile vs hospital services/fire brigade/police dept/infrastructure etc. Those are essential services, and jobs, too.
Any thoughts on Obama handing over the DNS directory to the UN?
The point of the service is not for people who drive for a living. It is for people already headed in the same direction to carpool. So the benefit of getting paid is just a bonus as long as it isn't far out of the driver's way.

The quick and dirty: OCR solutions exist, but to work well they generally need a little hand-holding. You have to give your OCR software a clean image if you want clean results (this goes for tesseract, ocropus, etc). The problem is that scans are rarely so clean...they are crooked, there is a hand in it, there is half of another page in it, etc. etc.---and common OCR software doesn't correct for this too well out-of-the-box.

doc2text bridges the gap between the initial scan and the scan you should pass through your OCR to greatly increase OCR ability. It takes that dirty scan, identifies the text region, fixes skew, performs a few pre-processing operations that help with common OCR binarization, and BOOM...data that was inaccessible, now accessible.

Try running tesseract or ocropus on a bad document scan before and after using doc2text...you'll see what I mean!

P.S. I should add...the end-user is also a little different from strict OCR packages/wrappers. Users might be admin staff or academics (or kids like my RA's) who want a simple, straightforward API to extract the text we need from poorly scanned documents. doc2text is built with this need in mind.
Oftentimes when you get assigned a task there is another similar part of the codebase you can use as an example for what to do. Try to understand what the code is doing and go from there.
