I wish you wouldn't be so dismissive of journalism and journalists. What they provide is not filler. Controversial though this opinion may be around here, there is serious value in having an actual carbon-based life form -- one who has spent years or decades covering whatever beat -- provide context and insight for the quotes and data. That they have become a dying breed spells real trouble for our civic life.

They might not be intended to be, but from their dev site:

"Estimote Beacon is a small computer. Its 32-bit ARM® Cortex M0 CPU is accompanied by accelerometer, temperature sensor, and what is most important—2.4 GHz radio using Bluetooth 4.0 Smart, also known as BLE or Bluetooth low energy."

And from here: http://makezine.com/2014/01/03/reverse-engineering-the-estim...

"The Estimote is built around the Nordic Semiconductor nRF51822, which explains their presence on the Nordic booth at CES. It’s a nice chip, basically a 32-bit ARM Cortex M0 CPU with 256KB of flash and 16KB of RAM with a built-in 2.4GHz radio supporting both Bluetooth LE as well as 2.4GHz operation—where the 2.4GHz mode is on air compatible with the nRF24L series products from Nordic."

They might not be "easily programmable", but how much would you be against Travis Goodspeed being able to do something similar to what he's done here with an Estimote beacon? http://travisgoodspeed.blogspot.com.au/2011/02/promiscuity-i... (You can't see it very well in the image in the Makezine article of the board, but under the "CH3" in the label for the smaller chip is a 4 pin header that I'm 99.9% sure will be a jtag header...)
How would one vet which lists are "true" and which lists can be "sponsored"? What would prevent corps from taking their lobbying money and simply directing it at list makers? How would the non-sponsored lists make their money?

My German professor mentioned a few times in class about how automated translators had picked up sexist biases because of older training materials.
It looks like you stopped reading after the second paragraph; this caused you to completely mischaracterize the OP.

In particular, the paragraph you quoted is the second in the OP; in it, the author is summarising the conventional technique not the one they propose.

of course, this is a common device--ie, "here's the conventional way to do X; here's what we propose here"

in other words, to provide the appropriate context, the paragraph you copied above, should be prefaced with "here's the conventional way to do X"

and in fact, the next paragraph, begins like this: "With the HyperLogLog counter it’s all different"
I always read the history as Hickey wanting first-class Java interop after his experience with FOIL[1]. In addition he wanted Clojure to be specifically for functional programming (something Common Lisp doesn't excel at).

IMO, most of the things that make early versions of Clojure different from previous Lisps do fall out from the requirement of first-class Java interop and being opinionated about pure data being the Right Way to do multithreaded.

From that point on Clojure is its own thing, and will naturally diverge.

It seems like a cool company and much needed as well, but I'm a bit puzzled by the political rhetoric mixed into the marketing page. It's not even that there's politics involved at all (after all you could make the argument that Tesla/SpaceX are like that as well), it's just how short-sighted it is.

Ignoring for a moment that the "bloodsucking middleman" of today were the hot new shit in their time, what other than innocent looking gifs do we have in way of them not becoming bloodsuckers themselves, once or if they reach a position with that kind of pricing power? It's easy to act all nice when you don't have a choice anyway...

Also, the company shipping the product from the producer to the customer seems pretty "in the middle" to me, no matter their size or political ideas.
Command and Control Research
The first one requires 2 errors. Reinitializing a variable (if you intended to use myvar then you wouldn't need to put int after your out) and compounding it with a misspelling. This is no different from how you'd make the same mistake today.

I'm not happy about wild cards. It seems like taking what is a very powerful character in software development and using it for a pretty minor usability improvement. Besides it seems misleading. When I see an asterisk I don't think throwaway. I can see how that aligns with "anything can go here" meaning from regex, but I feel there is a difference in "value". Using a * in a regex seems to increase the power and heft of the regex, where as using it here, seems to decrease the value, which is almost the opposite effect. Another way of putting it is that the point should be to let me ignore this while reading code, but the asterisk draws my attention to it instead.

Compare this to the Haskell convention of using an _ for throwaway items, which disappears just enough, instead of attracting attention. And by simply being a convention, it isn't giving the character too much power.

Not sure if lack of Haskell style type inference prevents C# from using convention for throwaways instead of wildcard chars, but I think it would be much less overhead on the Dev.

I think one of the big problems with the T1 was that each core only had one FPU, so anything that needed floating point math was really slow. Since this only has two threads per core that should be much less of a problem along with anything else that came from having so many threads.
TLS/SSL integration and security in Varnish Plus
I agree with the suggestion to de-bias the application and not the representation itself.

Recently I was using a version of Conceptnet Numberbatch (word embeddings built from ConceptNet, word2vec, and GloVe data that perform very well on evaluations) as an input to sentiment analysis. So its input happens to include a crawl of the Web (via GloVe) and things that came to mind as people played word games (via ConceptNet). All of this went into a straightforward support vector regression with AFINN as training data.

You can probably see where this is going. The resulting sentiment classification of words such as "Mexican", "Chinese", and "black" would make Donald Trump blush.

I think the current version is less extreme about it, but there is still an effect to be corrected: it ends up with slightly negative opinions about most words that describe groups of people, especially the more dissimilar they are from the American majority.

So my correction is to add words about groups of people to the training data for the sentiment analyzer, with a lot of weight, saying that their output has to be 0.

For those unaware, "hipster" turns out to be an excellent analogue to "macaroni"... In the 1940s and 50s the term had positive connotations as someone fashionable or in-the-know, but it has since come to be a term of ridicule.

Oh this is super easy. Take time off and work on something on the side too. I did this (still am) and am loving it! I'm also based back home with my parents so not burning through savings. Here's how it's all shaking out: (1) working on a cool idea with an amazing friend that may turn into a viable startup (fingers crossed but you never know), (2) taking road trips as often as possible, and (3) learning at a 10x pace compared to when I was employed. I'd rate my employability at around 5-10x what it was before. The only 'downside' is you end up loving your freedom so much that you commit to fighting tooth and nail to keep it :)

On further reflection I think the biggest problem may just be complete incompatibility of interest. Most people I know want to talk about things like tv shows, sports, hunting, taxes, the latest animal video they saw, getting drunk, etc. I try to change the subject to space exploration or information theory but nobody is interested. I have to be constantly careful not to come off as nerdy or patronizing. I'm about to move from a small town in New Mexico to a postdoc at NASA JPL so I suspect I may find myself less of an introvert there :-)
If A is the set of people who can write SQL and B is the set of people who know how to make inferences from data, self-service BI tools can expand the universe of people who can analyze data at your organization from A∩B to B. That's a big deal!

Yes, there are pitfalls if you give people in ~B access to the BI tool. They could make bad decisions based on the data. On the other hand, they are already making bad decisions without the data. In a world where |B| is limited, it can be hard to make the right tradeoffs. You might choose to let people in ~B use the tool but have a policy against sharing the results without a once-over from someone in B.

And it has put another 26 drugs into development. It has done this with US$290 million—about one-quarter of what a typical pharmaceutical company would spend to develop just one drug

They are comparing two different things with this statement. You can't compare "bringing something into development" and bringing it to market. Hell, if I move some crap drug into phase one i've "brought it into development". It means nothing.

Also, the one example of a marketed drug they successfully brought to market was a combination of two already approved drugs. The risks are much lower when you don't have to worry about toxicity and ADME.

I'll give them credit for working on a noble cause, but I've seen nothing to suggest they've fixed the challenges of R&D.
That would only be accurate if you assume most people read the article.
I can say that it wasn't an easy decision, I had to mull it over a few times and talk to various advisors, alumni, and friends about it. In the end it was very worth it!
Ok, let's step back a little bit.

Do you have a process listening on a port, that accepts connections and handles what is sent through them? If the answer is yes, you have a SERVER. That's the definition of a server.

If connection handler is short lived, well, so it is the case in a HTTP server. It's just a repackaged idea.
Google Daydream VR Will Launch
If so, I can imagine the Moon playing a role in that

It doesn't. The planet was spinning when it coalesced from a planetary nebula and conservation of angular momentum means it sped up as it coalesced. As the moon moves further away it _slows down_ the rotation of the planet.
pedantic, but isn't that ROT25?

I helped beta test blackbox, was really fun and the developer was fun to work with for the few pieces of feedback I had.

I've been reading about building good habits and learning discipline lately and have been using those techniques to push myself towards a successful future. Things such as working on myself, always working hard on something (going to the gym, reading more, build more personal projects) and sticking to simple and easy routines daily. For the past month i've transitioned from waking up at 8AM to head to work to waking up at 6:30AM so that I can head to the gym before work. I know I can go to the gym after work if I want, but studies show you have way more willpower and control in the morning then evening, so I know if I wait til after work i'll come up with excuses 80% of the time to skip the gym, whereas i've only missed a scheduled workout once in the past month.

Keep building those little habits and eventually they will snowball to successful situations.

I have always been using Python for this but is about time to improve this skill by using more serious programming language. In sense that it should be lower lever and at least have static typing. Contenders are: C/C++/Java. My feeling is that Java knowledge would be more useful for future work but C/C++ would make more familiar with memory management.
The journalists you describe are so few and far between that there needs to be a different term for them. The vast majority of the 'news' out there isn't anything close to what you described.
I'm not convinced that gives you that much more over using a delegate.
I agree that there is a trend to accept some more later stage companies. While there are a few post seed companies, there are many in the batch that just started their company right before yc or a few months before, so that is still a theme. With a 100 companies every batch it is easier to have many more diverse companies represented.
I hope we can get off of Earth.
Unlikely.

It has done this with US$290 million—about one-quarter of what
a typical pharmaceutical company would spend to develop just
one drug. The model for its success is the product development
partnership (PDP), a style of non-profit organization that
became popular in the early 2000s. PDPs keep costs down
through collaboration—with universities, governments and the
pharmaceutical industry.

So, was the $290 million the total amount for all 26 trials? Or did the collaborators kick in money? Because otherwise this is like claiming you've found a way to buy a new Tesla for $1000-- as long as your parents pay the other $69,000!

Drug development from scratch is arduous and expensive. It
begins with experiments on hundreds of thousands of
chemicals in the lab, looking for one that kills a pathogen
without harming the host.

The article does not go out of its way to mention that this isn't the expensive and arduous part. The clinical trials are what's expensive, since you have to pay thousands of people, who have the disease you're targeting, to take your experimental drug. In many cases, they have to take your drug instead of a drug that's known to work. And you have to follow these people for years, just in case they don't all suddenly get liver cancer and die a year after they stop taking your drug. (Something like this cost Merck $4.85 billion dollars in 2004: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rofecoxib )

The final trials on fexinidazole conclude this year, and
Wourgaft is hopeful that the data will earn regulators'
stamp of approval. The project has so far cost the DNDi
about $45 million—and it stands to help 21 million people at
risk of the disease in Africa.

Which regulators? There is a rather huge difference between the FDA and the Central African Republic's FDA-equivalent. Is this how they're saving money on clinical trials, by running clinical trials on Africans, and only getting regulatory approval from African states?

"In fact, the web is so pivotal to modern life that two months ago, the UN declared internet access a basic human right."

This doesn't sit right with me. It's certainly not being treated as one. I keep encountering "free wifi" hotspots - unencrypted, slow networks asking you to get your credit card out for more than 5 minutes of their time.

I was just in germany last week. In a public airport, the wifi was so monetized I felt like I was in the iOS port of a facebook game. Had the choice between that, or some even worse sitekiosk locked down piece of crap.

I wonder when this will change. When wifi will be as abundant and accessible as water in a city. (Although Germany is a terrible example for this - good luck getting a glass of tap water there). It's funny-sad to contrast the wonders of the internet, to the unending shithole that is internet access in 2016.
