This is a very ignorant statement on a variety of levels. The cost of storage sales is high enough that the likes of EMC, HPE and NetApp fight for channel partners to offload their sales of anything but the largest deals. Acquisitions admittedly seldom go well, but EMC doesn't have a bad record, considering.

Ha! I like that Marco. "nicest guys in town." Nice guys finish last? Fact is if everyone here knew us personally, they'd say we a nice guys. But when faced with the daunting, dubious task of taking on Slack this strategy made the most sense. And it is working. If it wasn't we'd have stopped a long time ago. Marketing is hard but fun stuff. Thanks!

> I think there's a _very_ high chance that Airbnb hosts probably should be held to those same rules or something very similar but less directly aimed at hotels.

I agree. Hosts should do things like not operate in areas where zoning or other ordinances prohibit or require regulatory compliance for this type of activity. If hosts were operating as an actual lodging establishment, the existing legal framework would provide a solution to discrimination issues.

If Marriott tried to put a hotel in the middle of my neighborhood, which is an 2-4 family residential zone, that effort would fail. If you tried to open a conventional B&B, (there was one that operated about 6 blocks away for many years) you would need to meet certain safety standards like having appropriate fire egress (ie. fire escapes, alarms, possibly sprinklers), have appropriate parking, allow neighbors to react and provide perspective, etc.

In the case of that B&B that was in my neighborhood, they had to install fire escapes, and the neighbors requested that a fence be installed to prevent guests from using their lawn as a pathway.
No, only pissing people off on Twitter. We have been testing FB ads and to our surprise our "tame" ads work very well there. We have not even tested the dreaded, horribly offensive "so last year" on FB. Not sure the difference but there is definitely a big diff between Twitter and FB audiences. Any ideas why?
Dropbox has always been doing been forcing users to give it admin permissions for non-necessary reasons. I posted about this on the Dropbox forums back in 2009:

http://web.archive.org/web/20120127192749/http://forums.drop...

Seven years later and they're still at it? I doubt this article will make them change.

I noted that, curiously, if I denied it admin permissions, Dropbox would still work. I know for fact that it I never granted admin permissions because I did not have my own computer back then, and I was using Dropbox just fine.

What really baffles me is why they don't give users a choice of whether to make their system less secure when their product clearly works without those extra permissions.
> There are plenty of pejoratives for men too, they are likely using those to refer to each other.

The words I listed were the ones they were primarily using to put down one another. I cannot even imagine the man who would use those terms in the workplace in America aimed at a woman and expect to keep his job. With men, it's often apologized for and then hushed under the guise of "harmless joking". I'm not in a frat house. I'm at work.

> Did you ask about the paternity leave?

Yes. I made the point that in order to not create incentives to hire men over women we needed to create an equal workplace where the business "harm" caused by a pregnancy in someone's family was equal regardless of gender. Otherwise, honestly, there's quite a good business reason to hire a man over a woman, all other things being equal.

> You don't think plenty of men would have been uncomfortable in the same situation?

Do I think that I was turned down from the job partially because of their assumption a woman would be less comfortable in that environment than a man? Yes. Considering the gender ratios in those environments, I'd consider that a reasonable assumption.

I'd find it difficult to believe the average man's discomfort rivals the average woman's discomfort in that setting.
In my experience this is due to an Apache default configuration that probably seemed reasonable when introduced but in practice can really screw you. Basically it caches and serves only the 503 for something like 3s to prevent the application it's proxying from getting kicked while it's down/flapping/starting. So the end result is that even if your app is only occasionally returning 503s for a small subset of users everyone gets to enjoy them for several seconds every time one is encountered. Fun stuff.

Your argument is that it would "stressful and hostile to everyone equally" to casually use sexist language or not provide maternity leave?

I'm not suggesting an "all women" situation here, but I am claiming all three examples would be significantly more stressful and hostile to the average woman than the average man.
> Whole program optimization isn't generally something you want on dev builds, which is where incremental compilation is useful.

By "whole program optimization" I also include things like generic/template instantiation. Whenever you use, say, a HashMap, you have to recompile the implementation of the HashMap specialized to the size, alignment, destructor, etc. of types you're using with it.

> For a production build why wouldn't you do a full rebuild anyway?

When I profile apps written in Rust, it's important for me to be able to get good turnaround time on optimized builds.

Because GPU-accelerated learning is exciting, and most of the directions you find for setting it up don't work. (Judging from other replies, this post may be no different.)

Ask HN: What's the point of making smartphones slimmer and slippery?
Making devices slimmer seems to be a trends among the smartphone designers. It results in uncomfortable grip on device which eventually makes most of the users buy cases, which ultimately makes the phones thick for less good reason. Moreover, trimming the thickness of the devices by few millimeters trims down the life and stability of the battery significantly.

I am wondering what the smartphone designers see in thinning the devices by few millimeters when it could be significantly better with a little extra battery fat?

It's a really small box (512mb) that runs everyting and on a normal day it does not have any issues but when the requests from HN started coming in Apache used up all the RAM.

I'm hardly a "pro-fossil fuel troll" as you seem to imply, though I do think it's odd that you'd resort to framing someone with opposing views as "losing [an] argument" when scientifically speaking, facts should speak for themselves - no arguments needed. The facts relating to AGW are far from clear. Anyone telling you otherwise is either funded by powerful political agendas, or too ignorant to recognize the manipulation happening in the media.

There are very legitimate reasons to support the use of fossil fuels and to consider the cost - in human lives - of trying to reduce the use of fossil fuels. To ignore that side of the debate is simply irresponsible. They certainly aren't free from negative consequences, but the negative consequences of eliminating fossil fuel use are far greater.

Lastly, pointing out additional flaws in the AGW narrative is not an indication of "losing an argument" or subsequently deciding to fight another. I raised this particular point to help illustrate the fact that even if you do happen to subscribe to the idea of AGW, if you follow that idea to its logical conclusion, you're still no better off in terms of actually fixing anything. It's just one more clue that the whole AGW ideology serves a hidden political purpose. In my experience, ideological flaws tend to travel in pairs - or in this case, herds.

I bet it feels like you're doing the world a favor by perpetuating the flawed idea that climate change and fossil fuels are the most important problems of our time, but unless you're actually willing to give up everything that fossil fuels do for us (FYI, that includes pretty much all the conveniences of modern civilized living), then that's a pretty hypocritical position to take. Worst of all, the anti-fossil-fuel agenda ends up hurting the people who stand to gain the most from industrial progress - especially those in developing countries.

There are a few functions in the C API to let you call things, depending on the type of thing and set of arguments you feel like providing, and they rely on the Python API to handle the calling for you. I imagine if you really wanted to, and knew enough about the structure and expectations of the Python object you were working with, you could "manually" call without going through one of those C API functions, but I don't know that I'd recommend trying it...

IMO it's because the majority of the companies getting funding in SV don't need DEEP expertise in a specific technical area. All of the companies mentioned in the article are mainly doing fairly "easy" tech around either well understood or new frameworks with low barriers to entry.

If you look at the age composition of companies that are working in Deep Learning, Computer Vision, Hardware they are significantly older than others - it's because you typically need a PhD or equivalent time working on the problems to actually build new stuff.

Until SV starts funding - enmasse - hard tech, which needs more experienced workers, I don't think you'll see much change there.

If I understood this correctly, this is based on a higher (but unknown to consumers?) chance that the Galaxy Note 7 's battery could explode during flight and catch fire. Then, what would be considered a chance high enough that a laptop battery's explosion would not be a concern? Would it be safer to lock these phones into an explosion-proof box before they onboard the flight?
I'm okay with threats of government violence against would-be violators of human rights, like slavers and murderers. I'm not okay with using such threats to deter private discrimination in who people interact and do business with.

I think the point is that the work done is not deterministic based on just the file inputs. Specifically, it has to pull in the external state of what the previous compile did.

I would hope that the actual output is deterministic based on the inputs. That is, changing function C in a file that has A, B, and C should be the same as a fresh compile of the same file. Even if the actual work that is done is different.
They look nice in carrier-run stores where phones are displayed for purchase. In the Android world, phones compete on style (fashion), brand, features (including battery life, but also cameras, NFC, etc.), and price.

In the Apple world; I have no idea. I can't imagine a significant number of people switch between ecosystems deliberately -- in either direction. Apple could make the phone thicker, and people would still buy it, but there's still a desire to have the iPhone set a fashion trend, and to maintain rough parity with high-end Android devices.
