It should be noted that the genetic algorithm used is not the same as reinforcement learning, in which the entire history of decisions leading up to a success is fed back to the NN as training examples.

Sweden is a great case. To resync after their failed attempt to switch, they included a February 30th in one year, so that is actually a valid date, in one year, in one place.

Alaska is another fun case. They switched calendars and simultaneously switched which side of the date line they were on, with the effect that Friday October 6th was followed by Friday October 18th.
The odds of a medium sized impact in the next few thousand years are very small. Still, an advanced asteroid defense capability should be prepared, since even the small-ish bolides that we expect to hit with greater frequency should be eliminated. This should reduce the risk from catastrophic impactors even further.

Settlement of e.g. Mars will never be needed in the time frames we should be thinking about. If asteroid defense is developed, then for thousands of years that will not be a concern at all. And if in 2,000 years they need a settlement on Mars, the people in 1,800 years can prioritize doing it.

In other words I don't see it as a priority. Material conditions on Earth are not great, and we are threatened by catastrophes in the atmosphere, oceans, and tectonic plates. Earth and its cities are infinitely more responsive to our efforts and investment than Mars or elsewhere. There is so much that we can do here in this century, while settling another planetary body in this century seems basically impossible.
That is an awesome find, thanks!

So do you feel Pittsburgh is more similar to New York than Chicago? I've always felt that PGH seemed more culturally similar to the great lakes cities (it is traditionally part of the Great Lakes Megalopolis[1]) than to the east coast corridor, but I'm a native of none of those places.

Trump has not stopped talking about economic protectionism and the blue collar workers, job creation etc. If that's not appealing to the poor I don't know what you want.

I think the really interesting tidbits are somewhat buried here, first that Intel stuttered on the 10nm node, the so called tick tock tock. Another indication that Moore's law is at its nadir. And that the choice to "spend the transistors" on video hardware rather than on additional instructions or pipelines etc.

That second bit is the evolution of the microprocessor into something more System-on-Chip (SoC) like and perhaps the first real hint that general purpose CPUs are obsolete.

The driving "buying" decision for many people on their hardware has been battery life for a while, surpassing weight. And the best way to boost battery life is to look at all the things people do with their laptop or tablet and power optimize with special circuitry all the things that consume the most power. Phone companies have been doing it with their SoCs for years and years.
But what do you use when you have robots on both Mars and Venus?
Per episode... I used the 3d denoiser at low setting, which helped a lot. I know Seasons 1-2 are really bad in terms of quality, which is why I mentioned it.. suspecting that s1-2 will be closer to the larger sizes because of it.
Problem seemed to stem from many joiners trying to treat it like Facebook, and Google's welcome pretty much suggesting the same, rather than as an interest search engine. Further, their assorted design and feature updates have slowly made it messier. The ludicrous realname policy killed off some interest too. Top that with forcing Play store and YT comments to be G+ accounts and you have a recipe for annoyance and chaos.

For a very brief time G+ seemed to have a lot of potential as it looked like it could become a worthy successor to Livejournal and forums for niche interest discussion, but with a social focus. It worked rather well for photographers too.

Those weren't the directions they emphasised with their many update experiments. They give communities, but take by a design update that showed a few lines only of a long comment unless you clicked on it. Discussions became rarer and that opportunity was lost.

Most of the communicators drifted off to FB and other platforms and what seemed to remain was mainly Google fans and meme sharers. I know some persevere, but no one I actually know still uses it.

Missed opportunity sums it up rather well.

Hehe, same here. The number of times I'e had people tell me "uh, no, your package-manager/OS can't do that because <reasons that assume FHS dumping ground of libs/headers and global, mutable config state>" -- too many to count :). I'm still trying to find a 30 second sales pitch that manages to get through people's preconceived notions. If I can get someone to look over my shoulder at my terminal for about 5 minutes, that usually blows them away, but that's not always an option (like here in the comments section, vs coworkers at the office).

They tried that in N. Texas in the '90s. I'd say it didn't work out. The crash there meant you probably had to leave.

Quite interesting that Harvard Magazine would publish something like that. Doesn't that pretty much imply that Harvard is unnatural and abnormal
The chain would start:

Box - J - Lid

Maria adds hers:

Box - J - Lid
|
M

Jan can open his padlock, releasing hers, and transform this to:

Box - J - M - J - Lid

Which Maria can open. An optimization could be:

Box - M - J - Lid

This is available if Maria could fit her padlock through the port in the box simultaneously with Jan's there, and send that back so Jan could remove his initial box padlock.

And the arrangement

Box - M - J - Lid
| |
J M

Would let either start a new box, using the J - M - J or M - J - M chaining as needed.

If your data structures have sophisticated invariants, serializing and deserializing them will be painful no matter what, because every invariant becomes one more thing to check after deserializing. And, even if your data structures don't have any invariants, don't you think it would be nice not to have to manually serialize anything? At least it would be nice if the language did this for you automatically.
Given a choice for investing in a new firm that is a 15 minute drive from the VC's office, and with tons of existing talent to recruit into the company, and with lots of other VC's in the area to fund future rounds VS a startup that might get a better bang for the buck on pricing because it's in the boondocks, and I don't think MORE startups will appear in the midwest than SV.
I saw that post, but still think it makes to have this poll here because the HN community's preferences are probably a better indicator of what startup developers will do going forward than a ranking based on historical github figures accumulated in the past from a wider range of users.
I think it's a multitude of things.

Initially Google+ was invite only. Techie people wanted to get in. News outlets reported on it. Common people basically never had a shot at getting in until, what was it, like 5 or 6 months later? Google essentially created the largest amount of friction possible to join their new, hot, social network that everyone was talking about and then when they mostly stopped talking about it they opened it up.

Beyond the initial friction it had a surprising amount of speed bumps at the start. There were multiple times where it was simply down and they mentioned running out of storage space at least once. Google, the giant that scales everything to seemingly infinite to the common person, couldn't keep an invite only social network up.

They also didn't make it simple to get into. When you went to Google's homepage there was basically a tiny, tiny link at the top that probably a tiny fraction of people notice and that was it. It wasn't hooked into Gmail, Google's most used application. It wasn't hooked into Maps or even Google search! Even today it's still not hooked into ANY of these things to a degree in which you can interact with it.

I'm not sure who was in charge of Google+ at the time but whoever they are they either didn't understand social networking at all or they just wanted to kill Google+. I reject any other possibilities.

I really liked the way Google+ worked, too. I'm still pretty disappointed that it's essentially a failed project that Google will kill eventually.
I might be wrong, but isn't it? I think, that in fact it is, and what you are talking about is reinforcement learning with tabu search, or something.

EDIT: Sorry, I've understood you wrong, what you are describing is, of course, not a tabu search, but still I believe that this GA is a reinforcement learning.

EDIT2: After some research I can say, that opinions are divided :D
I feel that it's primarily because the general public views what they do on Google services as private: searches and email.

The thought of somehow mixing up their private life with social media is just too scary. What if the photos I take on my phone appear in my feed somewhere and I don't realize it for 3 months?

Sounds like slow and steady progress. Seat belts weren't even mandatory until the late 1960's; more common sense than technology. Cars could go 100k miles 50 years ago. They aren't going 10x the distance today.

Progress to be excited about: Wright Brothers flew in 1903, Yeager went supersonic in 1947, and we were on the moon in 1969. Commercial flights were crossing the Atlantic at 2x the speed of sound in the 1970's.
Thanks for the heads up, I just read the comment guidelines and I don't see which one you think the above comment violated

I've started several companies with my own employees and I've always paid them correctly and on time with proper payroll and accounting. That's because it's the right and legal way to conduct business.

If you're talking about instances where you use contractors instead, then that's an entirely different scenario.

As long as you treat employees and contractors separately and properly, there are no issues - but having employees and paying them like contractors is illegal. Invoicing is not a replacement for payroll.

This is income that was generated in the EU and taxed in the EU, except at ludicrously low rates due to a vehicle the Irish government came up with for Apple: a headquarter of their Irish operation that (for Irish tax purposes) is located nowhere in the world.

So, no, it is most definitely not their prerogative, just as it isn't the prerogative of the German or Irish government to tax Apple on their US income.
You're simply wrong, in a way that only a person who has never cracked open a book on corporate law or history could be. Profit is not, and never has been, the only duty of a corporation. Corporations routinely forego opportunities to maximize profit, even in ways they believe they could get away with, for the sake of safety or social/environmental responsibility or even crazier reasons (e.g. faux religious freedom). Activist shareholders of the Trump/Shkreli variety might try to sue for that, but their record of success is spotty at best because the people who are actually in the courtroom have a more mature understanding.
I was also raised in Pittsburgh. Having lived in Ohio and Michigan later in life with vacations to the coastal cities on the east, Pittsburgh feels much more midwestern than east coast to me.

Boston, Philadelphia, NY, or NJ, the actual near-coastal cities, felt as "foreign" as when I moved to CA. (not sure if foreign is a good word, I don't mean it to be negative as I loved my move to CA)

I'm sure you are technically correct based on some google map searches, but I had never thought of Pittsburgh as east coast growing up or visiting later in life for Steeler games
Heh, that's exactly what I'm using. It must be some settings. Do you see anything in the console?

No, existing certificates should not be reissued. We can't trust that they were issued to the rightful owner originally by the failed CA. Clients should request new certificates and validate their ownership from scratch.

Getting a certificate is an hour's work tops if you are doing the csr dance manually. If you use ACME and letsencrypt it's done in seconds.

EV certificates are more work but if this matters to you then perhaps you should source multiple certificates to begin with, or act quickly when a CA is dropped (I'm sure browser vendors will give at least a few days notice)

Edit: Maybe I misunderstood you. If you just meant that software in general should offer requesting certificates from any provider, then sure, why not just use ACME. CertBot appears to be designed with multiple providers in mind. But this doesn't really have much to do specificially with the case of CAs being dropped from the root. (At first I got the impression you wanted other CAs to "bail out" certificates from the revoked CA)
Because we (want to) have distinct personas online to interact with distinct circles (oh, the irony) of people, and scoping our involvement to a particular corporation's particular product is one way we achieve that. When a new product is aggressively forced into our online presence, it has consequences.

No one who joined Facebook joined because they wanted free webmail, or a document collaboration platform, or upload and comment on funny videos with a pseudonym; so we knew what we were getting: social networking. On the other hand, most people who got started with a Google account did so because of Gmail or Docs; meanwhile Youtube was a distinct network with pseudonyms.

The Google+ push introduced real names on Youtube, and presented a cross-correlated 'Google identity' for every Google user, creating a social network where there was no user expectation of one.
Ever heard of a jack of all trades? It's true that jacks are super valuable but a jack is not an ace. Following this model feels like your spreading your brain power in to too many disciplines.

There's also obvious moral hazard with this model. It's kinda like the fox guarding the hen house. Having the same department be code writer, operations and auditor seems like an awful Idea. If one has a tight dead line, they're going to cut corners. We've all seen it.

This model can only exist in a start-up because of man power constraints. Your first few hires are going to be amazing and may actually be capable of such a role. However, as time goes on, this person has built a castle that can't be touched. You're also going to find that as a company grows, the spread of aptitude and skill grows wider, making this model seem absolutely absurd. The simple chaotic environment that your """"secdevops"""" started in will not be the same two years from now. Newer employees are going to lack contextual knowledge due to the increased complexity and by the simple fact that they didn't build it.

In practice, most people are partly responsible for keeping the organization secure. This isn't news...

in other news,
Yay! a new buzz word.
A lot of laptops present the keyboard and touchpad/whatever as internally connected USB devices.

So, if you want to disable USB by epoxying the externally facing connectors, that might work, but it means you can't do things like completely disable support at the BIOS or kernel level if you want those things to still work.
One of two (or both) things would need to be changed for it to be generally useful:

- The return value should be a WeakPtr, not a bool and a reference. This allows for data to not be duplicated by all of the different `getter` threads. A WeakPtr<Type> is kind of C++'s equivalent of a Maybe<Type>.

- The getter function also need to be passed a functor capable of generating the object, which then creates a `named lock` that /only/ other threads requesting that key. This duplicates multiple logical copies of the same item from being created (this is important when the creation is expensive, presumably the core reason for using an LRU cache).

I haven't see anything with 0.1°, but the BME280[0] has +-0.5° accuracy and also measures pressure.

I have a few DHT22s and find them to be a little bit temperamental (humidity drifts, sometimes won't return a reading) but I've been happier with with BME280 (though I've always used the breakout versions[1] as it looks like a bitch to hand solder).

It's an I2C parts and there's support for it in NodeMCU and Arduino so it's easy enough to get started with.

At the moment at least in Germany you have ISPs advertising bandwidths and even selling contracts with bandwidth that can never be reached not because they don't have the capacity but because it's not possible to reach them given the technology in the ground.

We're currently in place that is completely unacceptable towards customers. Now you don't have to go completely in the other direction but when you advertise and sell someone a contract involving a certain amount of bandwidth, you should have to provide that 99% of the time modulo schedule downtime. I think that would be perfectly achievable and fair to ISPs and it wouldn't require them to provision for maximal capacity either. I mean it's not like you should be able to sue them into the ground when they only manage 89.9999% or something.
Wave wasn't overhyped if you consider how successful products like Slack are today.
> What's so great about advertising that...

It generates profit! Why are we still discussing this? /s
And now we have come full circle. The new Google+ looks like crap in my web browser because literally over 50% of the page is useless grey pixels.

The reason is that the page design assumes its on a mobile phone which its somewhat unique tall portrait orientation. And sure enough, looking at the page on my phone it looks a bit flat but it works well.

So now we are in a place in the web where browser users get the crappy UX experience because someone spent all their time focused on the other community and really didn't bother to make their pages responsive to both.

The comment caught me off guard as well. It seems as a customer you're placing a lot of trust in this company as you're replicating your data to them and then trusting that they will handle and store it securely.
I'm disappointed to see that Google is still pushing +. I almost left the platform when they tried to jam it down my throat last time, and it seemed as though they'd come to their senses and shuttered that misguided project. I'm genuinely surprised to see that people are still working on it.

> Site operators need to be more aware of which CAs they're using, and need to feel some of the pain from the failure if they're going to shop for CAs based on anything except price.

Why? CAs just operate as a tax on sites. Having a certificate doesn't buy a site much; it's typically more for the _users'_ convenience, since they are the ones relying on the CA.

Really, users should pay CAs (probably indirectly), and CAs should issue certs for free. But I doubt that'll ever happen.
Thanks for pointing Dali out. I just added it to the list of choices.
