One note I wish the author would add is that ^a to move to the beginning of a line often conflicts with screen or tmux as a command prefix, so I tend to use ^x^x as a replacement.

How does this compare to eyes tracking? 90% of the hyper fancy things using brain activity get pwned by simple eye tracking. Or are not usable in real life due to the equipment needed.

Those should be removed too. People have no right to criticize people like Erdogan and Kim Jong Un. They are working their butts off to try to make their nation great, and their worthless populations aren't helping things by voicing criticisms.
You know any two of German + one of the Scandinavian languages + Dutch, you can often read the third pretty well if you apply some imagination - they're all very closely related.
I've been using both for a while, just uninstalled ABP on this news. Unfortunately, uBlock Origin adds several seconds to Firefox startup time.
Amazing maybe, but not really news. Monkeys could pilot the Mercury capsule, too. With several months of intense training, you can make them do a lot of tasks involving pattern recognition. Reliable brain-sensing, on the other hand, is news.
Catholic Church is OK with evolution if you make humans a special case; as long as you believe God gave ("created") humans a spiritual soul.
>Should they have to prove it in a court, for each separate comment posted, before they can ask Facebook to remove that comment?

Yes, absolutely, without any doubt or qualification of any kind. "Scalability" is not even an applicable concept.

If Facebook wishes to collaborate with a government, as in this case, that fact establishes a sufficient nexus with the state that invokes the same standard of scrutiny.

In other words, if Facebook acts as the agent of the government, it is subject to the same restrictions as the government. In which case, each and every removal constitutes a specific deprivation of an individual's free speech, and thus must be treated as the extremely grave action that it is.

Your position is suitable for cattle, not humans.

Edit in reply:

True civility is defending the values of the civil.

You are advocating a dangerous and amoral position, and I will not shy away from opposing that position directly.

One may hide behind soothing phrasing and call it "civility," but when advocating censorship, they should always be met with a swift and unwavering response.
No.

"Look at me, I can type 100 wpm... Why would anyone ever want to do this?"

Why does the value always need to be explained? Of course the value is explained in the article, but you just read the headline?
I've read a lot about fp16 being good enough for training, but the thing that people don't mention is that just swapping fp32 for fp16 will make things fail because your deep learning framework doesn't implement everything you use for fp16, and after you fix that, it will probably diverge because standard practices aren't used to dealing with such a limited range.

Which isn't to say that the Deep Learning stacks won't get there eventually, but at the moment it's not as easy as flipping a switch.
I agree. It is essentially the same vision like the old ALM tools had. They were beaten by better more specialized tools following the unix philosophy: do one thing and do it well.

Looks like it takes a minute for the price to increase.
The situation is almost entirely the opposite of what you stated.

Modern cars make more power while using less fuel [1][2], are way safer [3], more reliable [4], and are cheaper, relatively, than ever [5].

"Fun to drive" is subjective, but I don't think it's fair to compare a Civic to a Mustang. Personally, I think modern, performance cars handle better, feel "crisper", and accelerate better than the old muscle cars.

Does the price increasing also goes for custom logos? I am really interested in a custom logo...but the price increasing thing would really make it less attractive ;-)
Your straw man requires someone not have a car and not have the money that one saves from not having a car.

For the price of a car payment, I can commute on the DC metro and rent a car for a weekend. For the price of car insurance, I can take Uber for quite a few miles. For the money I made renting my parking space, I can rent a car for another weekend and subscribe to Amazon Prime. With the money saved on gas, car maintenance, and parking downtown, I can fly home to see family.
maybe, in fact, reading some of these comments it feels like they have quite the collection there at Apache.

But I personally find myself using Apache Lucene by way of Apahce Solr quite frequently. If we were a bigger organization I'd likely look at Zookeeper and Kafka as well. Alas the library market can be a small and depressing market.
asuswrt-merlin is awesome. I replaced my ISP's shitty combo router with a barebones TP-Link DSL modem and an Asus AC5300 (which physically looks ridiculous) running asuswrt-merlin. It turned one of the more annoying parts of my day into, eh, nothing. It just works flawlessly for months on end.
And only if you're using the internal microphone. I was trying to test this and couldn't reproduce it until I realized I was using headphones with a mic. Unplugged the headphones, activated Siri and the fan instantly turned off.
What's next? Hijacking affiliate links?

I do use Adblock Plus because there's a nice fanboy annoyances list that kills the latest scourge of Web UI: the pop up, in particular the "sign up to our newsletter since you've been here for 2 seconds!" pop up.

Is there ublock origin equivalent for this?
They have to. Any time my MBP is working really hard, say, compiling, or talking on skype, or watching a video, or loading a web page, or browsing the filesystem, the fan ramps up like a turbine. It gets so bad that the microphone can't accurately pick up my voice.
I'm glad that I was wrong about it.
Even if eye tracking is better (and IIRC it is), this is still valuable for patients that don't have any other option left (like Stephen Hawking soon).
The government lost any hope of moral high-ground by performing illegal surveillance amongst many other things. It is not reasonable to expect Snowden to selectively only release information that was strictly illegal (due to sheer number of files to sort through) and it is reasonable for someone to whistle-blow through unofficial channels when official ones are not available (and they weren't despite many people trying to advocate that they were - save your breath).

Here's an idea - don't do horrifically illegal, amoral things alongside other legal but probably still amoral things, quash all possibilities of accountability, and expect that no one will call you out on it.

Snowden did the right thing, and the only thing that could have been done.
If you can do that, you could just unplug the antenna.

Do the same on another line for PgDn (replace backward with forward).

I wonder if and how you plan this economically, like adding a future cost for each hour of work sunk into the platform. Where you eventually reach a margin where it's no longer economical to sunk more hours into the irreplaceable.
Regarding the personal allowance increase, I'm sad that the article glossed over this. I was really impressed that it was a tax cut for both the top bracket and "everyone". I wonder how the Danes would react if it was only an increase to the allowance, without the top bracket cut?
Thought the same thing, Cheap first picks and expensive leftovers doesn't sound so smart.
Funny story about this: I was traveling back in February and returned home after about two weeks, during which my local Dunkin Donuts re-arranged their menu. I came in for my extra-large coffee but couldn't find it on the menu. I ordered a large, and mentioned that I used to order extra-large but it wasn't on the menu any more. The server pointed out that it was on the menu. I was bewildered for several seconds until I realized that the entire right-most column of the menu (the up-sell stuff) had a full-color background and different font. They did this in order to stand out, but now my eyes naturally skip over any such elements of a layout, apparently.
I'd be willing to argue that new cars are a luxury. A quick search[0] says that only 26% live in an urban environment. The rest are suburban or rural. The latter portion don't always have walkable areas.

I used to live a short 7 minute drive from my office. Mapping it says 15 via bike and 1 hour via foot. It would have been nearly impossible to bike there, because there are no bike lanes, areas with no sidewalk nor shoulder, intersections that are awkward even for cars, high speed limits, etc. I mean, you could get there, but it would be a very unenjoyable ride. Walking? That's pretty much out of the question.

There's another option: public transportation. It is very unreliable. The map system is so convoluted that a group of cyclists are doing their best to release a FOSS app to navigate the bus system.

Taxis and ride-share are almost non existent and very expensive. UberX is roughly $22 round trip.

Not all American metro areas are made for walking/cycling. Once you hit our downtown area, walking and cycling are pretty easy. Thus, I argue that cars are not an inherent luxury in America.

You should be able to use all these lists with uBlock too.

EDIT: the specific one you mention is even offered (but not turned on) by default in uBlock origin.
I though uBlock point was to be CPU/ram efficient ?

That's even what they show in the chrome/firefox store images, it doesn't make much sense to me that it adds several seconds to Firefox startup time

Am I missing something ?
You're being disingenuous; The GP is talking about the luxury of not needing a car.

Original title seems to have been "I’m Supporting the 'Deletion' of the Wikipedia Page" which is a tragic story of Internet bureaucracy.
From reading this I could not find out what was going on.

From what I tried to understand, someone running a crowd funding campaign on a 'EOMA68' device denies he has any conflict of interest with writing a 'EOMA68' wikipedia page when there is $175k on the line.

Not that I'm a friend in any way on how 'Wikipedians' act.
This write-up is missing a critical detail - the article states "Wang and Yao have bioengineered a bacteria to break down plastic faster than the 500-to-1,000-years it takes for plastic to breakdown in a typical landfill."

But - how much faster? 1% faster? 10% faster? 90% faster? Even @ 90%, if the "major" breakthrough is that it now only takes 100 years to break it down, instead of 1,000, that's really good progress, but hardly solves the immediate problems that we face.

Why would you leave that detail out?
How do you define "marginally less"? Open your eyes and look at the graph I posted.

Let me name the obvious few: Christensen and Fornais (Saxo Bank), Jesper Buch (Just Eat), Mads Peter Veiby (M1), Lars Tvede, Toke Kruse (billys), Martin Thorborg (Jubii/Amino/Dinero/Agera). They are all members of Liberal Alliance and all of them frequently advocate lower taxes. Janus Friis (Skype) fled the country to avoid taxes (nuff said). I have met at least 50 entrepreneurs who openly complained about the current level of taxation.
How about we as a society have the balls to put faith in certain principles and remove money's influence upon the domain of those principles? The free exchange of information could be based upon this foundation.

I think we're sorely lacking in visionary utopianism and balls.
I think that even more broadly, Wikipedia is incapable of handling any topic primarily of interest to a narrow 'interest group'. Those topics have a limited number of people who are qualified to work on the article, and it's possible that there will be one who is qualified, interested, and unaffiliated to do the editing.

At one extreme, the result is what's linked here: unqualified editors produce inaccurate content, and reject anyone more qualified as having a conflict of interest. In the worst case, knowing enough to edit competently becomes evidence of bias, and the chances of producing an accurate article drop to 0.

At the other is the pattern you described. I don't know AHP, but several of the articles on personality tests suffer from similar-sounding issues. They're not wrong, but they've very visibly been edited by true believers, and the tone is bizarrely approving (or, at times, disapproving). You get pieces with 5,000 words of praise, followed by 100 weasel-words of 'Criticism', simply because the believers cared enough to go dig up sources and write good content.

I'm not sure there's any good way to break through this dichotomy, since the problem is a shortage of people qualified to analyze the article.

I do know, though, that it only takes a tiny amount of malfeasance to move the problem from bad to catastrophic. For instance, the EOMA68 article saw the hideous sequence of someone deleting sources, then using unsourced claims as grounds for a deletion request. Wikipedia does have some issues with bullying by senior editors, and in fragile cases like this it can have enormous consequences.
I absolutely love this experiment with the incremental pricing, which creates a sense of urgency. Lovely artwork as well.
They probably thought of it because they were getting unexpectedly bad results using the internal microphone.

I guess it ramps the priority of everything else down as well.
New Feature: Track Your API Requests on Cosmic JS
Way easier said than done :)

As someone who has been doing product development their entire career, I have found there to be an economy of focus in a software company when it comes to product development. I think it's a great vision for Gitlab but it's risky because it splits their focus into like 6 beams. The major players in the market (Atlassian, GitHub) already have this vision and they are there already pretty much.

The market wants flexibility in their tools in spite of what people on HN tell you. Atlassian has tools for every lifecycle stage but people still mix and match with other tools. Github is missing a few of these stages but I'm sure they are hard at work filling in the blanks. I know people who use GitHub and JIRA together even though GitHub has it's own issue tracker.
I just want to go out there and say, they don't have the right to poison you, but you don't have the right to their content...

I fall in this weird spot with ads. I don't like them, they slow down the experience, they can have PORN on them (this happened to my brother the other day), they have little oversight and track you. Many things I do not approve of.

What I DO approve of is paying content creators. And unless you are paying to remove ads through google or something else then you aren't paying the content creators and this is how we get paywalls. Which I personally don't like and even worse, plagiarized articles from pay-walled articles so that we can see them on sites where we can just block ads.

I'm not saying I think ad blockers are bad. I just think we shouldn't feel that we have a right to content without ads if they are done properly. I.E. Not tracking, no malware in ads, etc. etc. If we get ads that server all 3 parties (consumer, ad companies, and content creators) so that consumers don't have to pay then I think we should be ready to get back on board.
GitLab plan is "embrace, extend, and extinguish". And I hope they will fail on that, and then, they'll start providing standard integration APIs for third party.
> you've got a (very) complicated tax situation.

Living in two countries in increasingly common situation. Postdocs in Europe are required to move between countries by many grant programs (this is why me and my wife have 4 different residence permits in varied countries). Also we have a 2 years old daughter. Taxes and other bureaucracy are hell for us. And scientists are not particularly rich.
> So this is one scenario where a time series database is infinitely better than say a RDBMS or Columnar database

I still don't get it.

Most of my background is in "small data" and database programs tend either to store time series in "objects" (other kinds of objects are models and graphs), like Eviews, or as ultimately-isomorphic-to-spreadsheets tables with some added syntactic sugar for time structure that's only understood by some functions.

I'm beginning to do some "not so small data" (text analysis from news websites now; but the essential thing is the time sequencing of information cascades) with sqlite and pandas (pandas is just horrible, but it's already there) and basically the only problem I have is that raw data is unevenly sampled and I have to make some choices when downsampling to a fixed grid so statistical analysis proper can be performed.

That said: I understand, as the grandparent poster, that in some cases (high-end physics experiments) time-structured data is incrementally produced in enormous quantities, and just storing a thousand variables at ten thousand samples per second is this whole challenge.

But server logs? Sensor readings? At one point I had an Arduino hobby where I had a robot moving "of his own will" based on thermistors and did the necessary downsampling and filtering in the Arduino sketch itself for later analysis in Matlab. I mean, who's getting raw data from IoT devices into servers? Even my news scraping thing does some pre-selection before committing to the db.

People underestimate how quickly the signal-to-noise ratio decays at high frequencies; and it seems to me that Cargo Cult IT is massively overestimating its need for CERN-level compute.
I've used 99D on behalf of about a dozen clients and the cheapest we've ever gotten a great logo for was about $1300.

I'm sure some people have been happy with the lowest price point, but every time a client wanted the money back guarantee they ended up using. Every time I convinced them to opt out and spend a little more they were generally happy.
Alright, so there isn't a problem at all. Docker isn't forcing anybody to not use the name 'docker' nor did they sue anybody.

Not sure if trolling or... but restaurant margins are paper-thin. For example, my father, a restaurant owner for 35 years lost money on most of his offerings (the exceptions being the cheap stuff - chicken fingers, fries, hushpuppies, etc). Almost all profits were made off soft drinks. If people all of a sudden stopped ordering tea, coffee and soda, he would have gone out of business in under a week. This was true in all different venues he operated -- a sandwich shop, an upscale steakhouse, and the ever popular "fish camp" style of restaurant. The only exception was his pizza restaurant -- and he only made money when people ordered plain pepperoni pizza. Ironically, if they only ordered cheese, you had to put more cheese on the pizza to make up for the lost space the pepperoni took up, and cheese is the most expensive thing in a pizza restaurant by far, especially if you use anything that is remotely real.
Good point, otherwise the hardware might damage with constant usage of Siri, or is this the actual plan of Apple?

Plus: You nailed that edit real, kudos - though, you missed the 1 minute "> Previously on...whatever show it is" at the beginning. 8 minutes of content on a channel you pay for, plus 15 minutes of advertising... so you're basically paying more for the ads than you are for the content... there's something really really wrong with this from a moral perspective.

If you pay for a channel, you should be paying for the content on that channel, not paying to be advertised to with some content as a by-product just to get money from both ends of the donkey.
On the other hand, it shows the primitive state of brain computer interfaces, that they are implanting a few electrodes in a region of the brain related to the hands, in order to move a mouse cursor. We're decades away from thinking to computers. What is the state of the art in brain interfaces?
No I'm just extremely jaded by seeing uneducated masses get manipulated by awful people.
