Personally I'd produce both. A brief high level explanation for non technical people (e.G. customers, press) and an in-depth blog post with the gruesome details.

The latter is useful for example when my boss asks me to evaluate whether to continue using a service after an incident. If I can't get enough information to make a recommendation I might propose a switch out of distrust. Especially when to problem was related to security or privacy.
simple: google has no idea what it indexes. Please read the full ruling, which explains this only applies to those who willingly and intentionally link to content they _know_ is illegal, _and_ do so for monetary gain. Which is perfectly reasonable. The article posted to HN is pretty much fear-mongering for te purpose of getting some clicks.
Fascinating - I have an HP Stream 7, and it's just a little too slow as a Windows tablet to be worth using for casual web browsing or Windows apps. The form factor is great - it's a little thicker than a Nexus 7 tablet (closer to a Kindle Fire 7), but the processor, ram, and storage all need some performance boosts.

Makes me wonder what a real Surface Mini would have been like!

As a side note, it's a shame that the Anniversary Update requires so much space. With the new emphasis on Chromebook-class Windows computers (the new netbooks), it's going to be important to keep all of these $99-$299 Windows 10 computers updated.

>It places an extra burden on the big, commercial sites to remove links (or stop linking on the first place) to content that is considered illegal in the EU.

Why did you insert the word "big" in front of "commercial sites"? There is no such qualification in the court's ruling.

Every small blogger who makes a little money through ads now has an obligation to check whether or not the owner of every single linked page owns the copyrights to the content they publish (or will publish on that page in the future).

I have no idea how anyone could possibly perform these checks. Do you ask the linked site for proof? But if anyone is going to find a way through this legal nightmare it's going to be the very biggest players with big legal departments.

At least until the battery is depleted, even if we have no way of knowing how long that will be since we disabled all the ACPI devices, which also means no suspend or resume.

That was the Ford Transit Connect. One of the big ironies of that whole situation was that back in the 1960s, Ford was a beneficiary of the tax (which was mostly aimed at Volkswagen). After the tax was enacted, the Type 2 pickup and cargo van disappeared from VW's US product lineup.

The loophole has been closed, and Ford no longer sells the Transit Connect in the US.
It's often better for pedestrians when there's a button. Because the light usually changes pretty quickly after pressing the button. Otherwise you'd have to wait until the timer switches the lights.

It's usually used for pedestrian crossings where pedestrians are rather rare.

To be fair, not _all_ American models are like that. In fact, a decent portion of the buttons in my town are very similar to the one described in the article.

Those have a pretty short battery life. They're 1.6 hours for "audio streaming" which I take to mean Bluetooth as the longer life is only for when you download songs to the earbuds. Then, the case recharges up to 2 times, so 4.8 hours total. Even if you assume Apple's 24 hours is a total charge split across both buds, you get 17 hours for Apple's (assuming the case is charged up while you're using the AirPods, possibly only 12 otherwise).

"Time immemorial"? Damn, I remember pretty clearly what life was like before Web 2.0, and I'm still in my 20s. The first time I encountered one of these presentations I was confused as hell, at least this one has the decency to put arrows to click in the bottom right corner, a lot of presentations don't.
Not if you read the actual ruling instead of an article turning it into sensationalism with facts omitted. Always a good idea to get the facts before you commit to making claims.

In this case the _actual_ ruling is about linking to content that you know is illegal, but you still intentionally link to for monetary gains. Any reasonable court, or person for that matter, would go "oh... yeah that's obviously a VERY DIFFERENT matter from this article's claim, and punishing someone for that is kind of reasonable."
Agree about EconTalk, though not as big a Mike Munger fan. (I am partial to Richard Epstein as a guest.)

I cannot speak more highly of the host. Among podcasts about ideas, Russ Roberts is absolutely remarkable and unique in his willingness and ability to give a good-faith, sympathetic venue for ideas with which he disagrees. While he is willing to push back against ideas he doesn't agree with, he is always pleasant and always reminds the listener (and himself) that he is also subject to confirmation bias.

And while the focus is economics and public policy, he will interview nearly anyone with something to talk about. I can't begin to list the things I've learned about bees, the potato chip and snack food industry, prison gangs, etc. Well worth anyone's time.
Why do these wsj articles always have a paywall when linked from HN?

Strong agree on Econtalk. I don't share Russ Roberts politics, but I think this is one of those cases where the ideological friction makes things better, because I'm regularly surprised by where conversations on the show go.
The AirPods are independent of one another, but they fit into one case to charge. So, the case charges both the AirPods at the same time. If you want to charge the case, you use Lightning to charge it. But, the case is good for 24 hours of charge on the AirPods. Whether that is 24 hours total (so 12 hours each), or 24 hours for both I don't know.

Yes! It seems to turn out that for any random subject X you can ever imagine wondering about, there is someone whose academic career is "X economist", and they all seem to wind up interviewed on this show.
A $40,000 3 series BMW has a nicer interior than a $130,000 Tesla. That's what people are referring to. Not comparing to equally priced cars, comparing to cars that are literally 6 figures cheaper.
Aside from trying harder to reach those people, you possibly don't have a large enough sample. It is also possible you attracted the wrong people. For example, I'm in a space where there are lots of competing free products and we are a paid one. Just as one example, I had to put "free" as a broad negative keyword in AdWords to try to filter them out. Turns out there are entire classes of keywords that tends to resonate more with people looking for a free solution vs paid that I had to uncover and filter for.
Nobody ever uses the built-in Flask server for production. The common deployment pattern is to load the Flask app into a WSGI or asyncio serve, which will then handle requests with scalable threading/process models.

Look into uwsgi or gunicorn, and you'll never look back :)
Google requires the full content it indexes to be available to people following links from Google as well, so publishers make an exception to the paywall so they still get listed on Google.

EDIT: am I wrong?
The L in Lab represents "light" (saturation).

By removing or not looking at that channel, you are essentially looking at the normalized color channels. Look at the a channel (red to green) and b channel (yellow to blue) to get the color of the images.

This essentially removes lighting conditions, although obviously lighting conditions still impact the image to some degree, from the camera and original RGB image.

I see my response was ambiguous. Of course I meant rootkit was always malicious. It was used by intruder to gain root back after admin though he restored the host after being hacked.

Rootkits are the reason why it is recommended to wipe the whole system after being hacked, because you can't be sure there there wasn't anything installed.
Given that there have been at least 3 Autopilot-related fatalities this summer over approximately 130 million miles driven worldwide, that is an average of roughly one fatality per 43 million miles, or significantly less safe than even the worldwide average.

It is a great shame. Windows 8 tended to use WIMBoot on these type of machines. That uses huge amounts of space and causes some problems for updates. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn594399.aspx

It's the flourishes like scare-quoting "Harvard economist" --- Rogoff is not only an economist at Harvard, but a professor of economics at Harvard --- that turn what could have been a solid rebuttal into an ideological screech.

Possibly related: regularly encountered concentrations of ultrafine particles (UFP) have been found to reduce or even eliminate exercise-induced release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) [1] [2], a response which is believed to play a key role in the neurological and psychological benefits of exercise. I suspect that this is just one branch of a larger causal web and that UFP or other correlated pollution may also be reducing some of the broader endocrine/metabolic benefits of exercise.

To the best of my knowledge, UFP levels are not routinely reported or regulated. I think this is because they pass through most filters. IIRC, some kind of multi-stage filter with a liquid medium has to be used to get an accurate count.

130 million miles is not a statistically significant enough distance to make claims about safety if the national average is one fatality per 94 million miles. With so little data on autopilot compared to other vehicles (a few fatalities vs thousands), this could just be natural randomness or a small effect caused by drivers being more cautious of autopilot.
Actually before nullptr was designed, the good practice in C++ was to use a plain 0, due to the way NULL is sometimes defined and how implicit conversions work.

Seeing C++ codebases using 0 for pointers instead of NULL was already a sign how up to date the respective programmers were with C++'s best practices.
Thanks! It has been fixed. :)

Rationally I'd have to agree, but emotionally is a whole other ballpark. You have to be able to have peace with yourself, to have done at least that which you yourself think is the absolute minimum to be a "good person" and look yourself in the eye when you stand in front of the mirror. It doesn't matter what the other person did; you have to find peace both with your own actions and with what has been done to you, which is very much a personal dilemma and balancing act.

Life is hard; she probably did the best she could when dealt a less than enviable hand early in life.

Not my usual reading material, but a good read nevertheless.
If we really wanted to cut back on crime, paying prisoners a fair wage for their labor would be a huge step in that direction. Getting out of jail and being able to afford housing and food on your own allows you to establish independence. Vs the system we have now that drives you right back into the same situation you were in that most likely caused you to go to prison in the first place.
Probably the most advantageous part of fully computerized cars will be DRM and part management. Like your printer which refuses to print black because the yellow cartridge (which is half full) is past its expiration date, your car will in the future refuse to drive because the dealer hasn't changed its oil with the DRM oil filter in the past 1500 miles.

Mandatory adherence to the OEM's maintenance schedule (and every appointment dealer-only!) is every car maker's dream.

Even UC Berkeley, not exactly known as being a libertarian stronghold used Economics in One Lesson when I went there. I wouldn't exactly throw it away just because you don't agree with it.
If you want to read one of these, read the Hyman Minsky one. Minsky spent his career explaining the 2008 financial crisis, even though he died in 1996.

Libertarian will hate him (he supported Keynesian economic intervention) and yet neo-Keynesians will hate him too (he thought Hicks–Hansen model was oversimplified to the point it wasn't worth using).

But his predictions came true. That's pretty rare in economics, so people were forced to pay attention.

>Humans can't survive without food.

When I'm saying "cheap" and "expensive" those are relative terms to the spending power of the population.

If I make $200 a day and some guy in Africa makes $2 a day and we both pay the same price for food. Either I get an incredible deal and pay basically nothing (compared to my income) for all of my food... or he starves to death because he can't afford it.

It has certainly happened. During the Irish Potato Famine, despite the potato disease going around, there was plenty of food to feed the population, they just sold it at a higher price elsewhere.

I'm thinking that if they still let you tap to select what to base the brightness on in this mode, they might be able to extend that to the focus so that it can work with non-face photos. Keep the part you tap on in focus (and anything else at that distance), blur the rest. Though that might not allow you to do independent brightness... Hmmm... Anyway, it's pure hope/speculation at this point.
Seeing as this has turned into book club. Highly recommend two books, neither of them are pure economics, however combined they give a fascinating overview of the last 70 years of the american economy, as well as some really interesting ideas for what the future might look like:

I have no idea what Dropbox actually is or does (I'm FOSS-only, at home and at work), I've only heard of it, so I may be way off the mark.

With that said, on the assumption that it is a way to exchange files between computers and/or share with other users, it would seem to be the case that ownCloud (nextCloud) fits the bill. You can host it yourself (as I do) or use a third party to host it for you. I have been using it for a number of years and I'm entirely happy with it.

Also, depending on your use scenario, another possible option may be https://www.stackfield.com/ a German end-to-end encrypted storage company. I believe there are others offering similar services.
IMO much easier to hire aspiring data scientists than talented engineers who are satisfied with the data prep and admin aspects

As someone who hires both, I can guarantee this is incorrect. Well, maybe hiring "aspiring" data scientists is ok, but an aspirations will get me models that do exactly the wrong thing. So that isn't useful.

Applications of human-in-the-loop systems like this are exactly why we built Scale API (www.scaleapi.com, YC S16).

Unfortunately, Mechanical Turk is often a bad choice these days for these types of applications—it's extremely difficult to guarantee quality, not to mention hard to use. Using employees also works well to a point (we did some of this at companies I've worked at too), but it doesn't scale, and should be done sparingly.

Great application of humans in the loop—this is the type of thing that really excites me. We're trending towards more and more human-augmented software, and it opens up so many possibilities for what software can do!
i was being snarky and pointing out that you don't run a mechanical car. if it's fuel injected, it's controlled by software.
