Performance: With HTTP you have to constantly check if what you have cached is up to date because it could change. And a bunch of other little performance advantages.

Immutability: with HTTP you have to save things you care about because they might disappear/move in the future. With IPFS you could pretty much always rely on at least Google holding a copy of something in the long term.

Basically the idea is to remove the concept of local vs remote files at the OS level. So as a user of the OS the file browser and the web browser are the same application. They shouldn't even be able to tell if something is on their computer or not. This could be implemented on HTTP but only as a prototype.
If your lifestyle basically consists of stuff you could do for free, like cycling and internet, does that mean you're wealthy?

The trouble with this definition is that your lifestyle changes with your income. If I were making millions I might need yachts and private jets to maintain the good life.
The numbers used here don't really make the case. A text message is a conversation element, a call is a conversation.

I spent 4 hours on the phone Friday, on 5 calls. I also sent a couple dozen texts. According to the article, I'm not a phone user.
I'm curious about the motivations behind moving to a Chromium-based browser. For an anonymity-focused project, a Google product seems an odd base.
Hmm alcohol?
When was this ever the typical definition of lower/middle/upper class? That's not the historical definition nor is it the modern one.

The idea that being a business owner makes you "upper class" is absurd. Most business owners have always been middle class. Most businesses aren't that lucrative and require large amounts of time relative to the amount of profit generated.

Ouch.
I don't worry about money now because I save and budget appropriately. I meant that with 200k I wouldn't have to think much about money at all. Sorry for the confusion!
Yeah but publicly traded companies have to do that in an effort to protect shareholders, not the general public. The logic is very different.
But were your parents evicted? Aside from actual physical violence or harassment, it's hard to think of an experience less traumatic and disruptive for a family.

So that when you search for "cheesecake recipes", you don't get a well-sourced, high-traffic article from a respectable website describing in detail how the new business initiative by Cheesecake Factory is a recipe for disaster.

I've wondered if that correlates with many of the old themes of such stories becoming mainstream realities that it turns out people don't care much about.
Yes, even the wealthy are constantly comparing themselves to people richer than them, and complaining about it.

Hey HN, I'm the author of this library, happy to answer any questions!

We just fixed a bug that was breaking this on mobile, everything should be working now.
dang, I know you always are acting in good faith but I really question whether that is true.

Killing a post with one word (which isn't on any ban list on any website I know of) that crossed the line is one where more plants thrive, especially given the effort and thought that went into that post?
I think you are selling everyone short. All accomplished people can recognise certain outstanding peers, appreciate their intelligence and yet have damning opinions on their particular set of principles. For me, it's the most refreshing thing in life; that someone can stay stedfast to their well-considered trajectory which may be perpendicular to your own.
Presumably Google hires smart product people. So how do you imagine the conversation and decision making process went assuming they were aware of this dynamic?
That class is all about the money in the US is not entirely true. If you have lots of money but don't know the social rituals, people will notice.

"new money" is after all a thing.

I think to satisfy my own definition of class, it has to have some sort of hereditary component to it. Class has meant all sorts of things historically. In many ancient human societies, class is formally defined.
From https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Refe...:

> compareFunction(a, b) must always return the same value when given a specific pair of elements a and b as its two arguments. If inconsistent results are returned then the sort order is undefined.

It doesn't really matter what Math.random() is producing when the sort algorithm is undefined.
My wife and I combined make well above the limit for 1%-er range, yet we both feel middle class, although upper middle class is probably more accurate.

We both work extremely hard, from 9-10 hrs a day in the office and 2-3 hrs at night, most nights. We barely have time to see the kids during the week, and the weekends are filled assuaging our guilt by spending it with them, unless we have to work.

We have a modest house in the SF Bay Area, with an unmodest mortgage, and a savings that is miniscule compared to our costs and isn't growing. I have my Honda Accord that I paid off years ago, and my wife leases a Lexus SUV. We are the prototypical house-poor Bay Area family, and if one of us loses our job, we're pretty fucked. Neither of us has any sort of insurance besides whatever is provided by our companies.

The two "luxuries" we have are a weekly house cleaner, and a top notch babysitter once a week, which is why I think upper middle class is apt.

We don't feel "upper class", and we definitely don't feel rich. We know rich people, though, with live-in nannies, rented out Gary Dankos for special events, got box suites at the Super Bowl, etc.
I discovered cussing late in life due to my upbringing, and I've been making up for lost time ever since.

As someone once eloquently put it, trying to negotiate a compromise or agreement with someone without signalling that strong emotions are involved is a form of self censorship that is self-destructive. If the person you're talking to doesn't know how you feel about something why would they ever honor your concerns?

At about the same time I read this I was trying to reject the notion that there are magic words that can force other people into an emotional state. Why do we let other people control how we feel? That's bullshit. I am my own person and unless we're discussing a matter of public policy (you are denigrating an entire group of people on purpose or through carelessness), if what you say upsets me then that's my baggage, not yours. It would be nice if you were sympathetic, but that power dynamic needs to be broken, and pretending it doesn't exist by censoring yourself makes you an Enabler, in the language of Codependency.

It took me another ten years to realize that I still get emotionally hooked on other people's mostly innocuous word use. It's the basis of marketing and persuasive speaking, and in many ways the person swearing is being far, far more up front and honest with you about what they're trying to do to your head.
This is great. We do a lot of work with GPUs in Win10 at Paperspace (https://www.paperspace.com) but we mostly use GPUs for video acceleration not compute.

That said, all of our cloud VMs have GPUs and we are adding new instance types designed for ML/ HPC.

Reach out directly if you are in the space and want early access to CUDA-backed Windows instances in the cloud.
Is it because 'tick' is a word? Or because it's nicer to have 1-2-2 syllables rather than 2-2-1? Or because 'tic' is the least stressed syllable in the word 'fantastic'? And the middle syllable is the most stressed, so preceding it with 'fucking' feels nicer?
Yes this is a common tactic to keep compromised accounts.

The attacker compromises the account and generates password recovery tokens.

He then blackmails the user if the user resets it trough support or via account recovery the attacker uses a token to gain access to the account again.

This is a very common tactic in blackmail for online game accounts.

In fact this is also often used to bypass other security controls such as auto account locking.

You compromise the email account, log on the IP or anything else triggers an automatic account unlock the user clears things up with support and the attacket uses the reset token to access the account without triggering a lockout this time around.
Voice is just faster.

As someone who grew up more immersed in the digital world than the average, I want to point out that this isn't a universal truth. With practice, concise and clear text can convey more accurate and more useful information than a low-SNR vocal conversation.
This is the same question as 'What values should we impose on society?' And that is an irreducible conflict. It's politics.

Programming a computer to perform a task is a powerful way to reveal hidden assumptions. What the problem of machine learning on human data reveals, is there is no objectivity. Our most 'objective' models will simply learn and then reinforce biases and prejudices and cause harm to people. We can't build objective, neutral, value-free models when it comes to human behavior, because humans change their behavior in response to the models. When we reject stereotypes we are imposing a set of values, just as much as when we embrace them. Machine learning forces us to confront the fact that this is exactly what we are doing.

There's a kind of philosophical crisis going on here. We need an entirely new way to think about the limits of objectivity in human sciences, and how to create ethical models in the presence of feedback between science and society. The language of objective physical science doesn't work.
I heard it was:

- lower class: your name is on your shirt

It's even worse than that - it explicitly ignores quoted keywords in many cases. The only intent they care about is what guides you towards their interests.
Even at the time of Ericsson Dialog (standard issue phone around here from 1960's to 1980's) it was not comfortable to hold the phone for a long time.

First of all, just to keep your hand raised up for an extended period of time is tiring. Even without any weight. (Modern phones are actually lighter than the Dialog handle was. )

Secondly, for many people, it is not convenient to touch the ear for a long time with any object.
You might want to look into "Smallest Federated Wiki" by Ward Cunningham that is looking into using IPFS for example: http://forage.ward.fed.wiki.org/view/interplanetary-file-sys...
Poor people are constantly victimized. That's just a thing that happens.

No, it's a thing that we've been inculcated into believing to be something that "just happens." Actually it happens for systematic and structural reasons.

For instance, I bet you're typing this post out on a computer that is made with parts manufactured in China/Taiwan and are exporting your pollution.

The difference is that I don't pretend to believe that this kind of exploitation is something that "just happens", or that I'm not responsible for it.

Nor do I go around saying things like "What's wrong with children disassembling the battery cage in my used phone for 25 cents an hour in the Philippines or somewhere? These things happen, you know."

Since I haven't seen any discussion about this piece of news at all, I assume it's being flagged and deleted.

Sorry if it's rubbing salt in the wounds but these stories are really tiresome. You thought about investing at 5 dollars is completely meaningless. The famous spike to 1200 lasted all of 6 hours, it's also meaningless. Too many comments talk about 1. missing an opportunity because of the lack of commitment or 2. talking about an opportunity which was far to opaque to understand without the benefit of hindsight. It's like talking about the fish that got away, no one wants to hear it.

> Aside from actual physical violence or harassment, it's hard to think of an experience less traumatic and disruptive for a family.

Think harder. How about not being about to get food and watching family starve in front of you? (see Venezuela and DPRK).

How about watching your grandmother die of inoperable cancer over several months, to the point to where you have to wear earplugs to sleep over her moans of pain? (happened to me)

There is nothing inherently traumatic about being evicted. There is something traumatic and disruptive about losing a job, a loved one, or even a pet. What part of the first world do you live in that you categorize all this as a "disruptive and traumatic" event?
Cell phones aren't subsidized, they are just financed over 2 years (with the payment often hidden in your monthly cell phone bill). If the price of the glasses is a problem (I doubt it is), they could be financed the same way "Just give us $11/month for a year and you can have them today!"
I used to think like this, and I was wrong. As you add code to a software project, some of this code will be written when the problem is not well understood; thats inevitable. The solution will then need to be refactored or rewritten, the first of which is extremely painful in a dynamic language, even if you keep things simple.

For example: if you implement a store that only sells electronic books will have a lot of assumptions regarding the selling and delivery process. Later the business wants to start selling physical things and needs to handle stuff like shipping costs, tracking and so on.

For problems like online stores, the possible directions in which they can develop are well understood and its easier to plan ahead. For most other things, its not, and the ability to reorganise code to be usable in different ways is invaluable.
If you want to try on the Linux subsystem I would give a Linux guide a try. I would be surprised though.
Clever, but seems ethically questionable.

Why do the shippers care about breaking a TV? Presumably there are repercussions, such as an insurance plan. So why don't those repercussions just apply to bicycles? If they're fined for enough bikes being broken, they should probably learn that they need be more careful than they thought, right?

EDIT: Toning down my choice of words.
Now more TVs will start to be damaged since the delivery guy thinks it's just a bike in the box.
That's what I was thinking. Mechanical exoskeletons are not innovative - They already exist. Quantum computing on the other hand; that's highly innovative.

Why would someone who is supposedly at the forefront of this highly innovative field throw away years of experience and start again from scratch in a comparatively much simpler field.

This doesn't inspire much confidence in D-Wave.

Wonderful (part) solution. I love things like this that tap into the mind so subtly.
Actually, as a Brit (and so an expert in these matters), it seemed a fairly good definition for me. It's similar to how class is represented in Downton Abbey and in books like "Watching the English" (Kate Fox).

As far as I know, there are no formal and universal definitions of the class system. Certainly in Britain, class has almost nothing to do with your income or bank balance. A lot of the upper class are completely broke, while there are many "working class millionaires".
Just do a search, most big bitcoin addresses are reported on.
I think you've put your finger on what's interesting here: that people self-identify emotionally, using lifestyle and value judgements, and not based on actual income or statistics.

The classes are most commonly defined by economists as income brackets, not as welfare vs jobs vs passive income. [1] Yet when people are asked what class they're in, they use welfare and investments as the indicator.

Look at the stats and you start to see that by almost all definitions, the vast majority of the "rich" still have to work for a living, they simply have very high salaries. Passive income lifestyles are only being had by a very very few people well above the median of any "upper class" definition you can find.

It's not surprising that relatively well-to-do people think they're middle class, but it also doesn't hurt to have some perspective and realize that at at household income of $200k, you're in the top 3% in the US. [2] The goal of a passive lifestyle is not and might never be a realistic definition of rich, nor a practical goal for the vast majority.

Of course, as others have pointed out, it definitely depends on where you live. For more perspective, here are some stats on the cities used in the infographic:

[In 2000] The median income for a household in [Lakefield, MN] was $31,250, and the median income for a family was $37,898. [3]

The median household income in Edina in 1999 was $66,019. [4]

According to a 2007 estimate, the median income for a household in [Scottsdale, AZ] was $70,533, and the median income for a family was $92,289. [5]

According to the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey data estimates for 2008-2012, the median income for a household in [Chicago] was $47,408, and the median income for a family was $54,188. [6]

Real Median Household Income 2014: US=$53,657 Minnesota=$61,481 Minneapolis=$69,111 [7]

That's over 2x variation, but most people would judge incomes of 50k and 100k very differently. *Edit: btw, kinda wierd 3 of 5 examples were from Minnesota...?

I don't think shippers are just about breaking a TV. I believe it comes down to the, perhaps, subconsciousness of "TV = fragile" whereas a box with a bike, something we expect to be pretty solid, doesn't seem like it would be damaged quite so easily.
Well, this is probably because today JavaScript is the biggest middle class generator.
Unfortunately that's a pretty big matrix of possibilities, since different fonts have different support for ligatures, and the ligatures that will actually be seen are dependent on a combination of the page designer's intent and browser capabilities.[1]

For context, Olga Russakovsky is the lead author behind the ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge, This is one of the most popular computer vision benchmarks in the world. Olga has expertise dealing with issues of dataset bias.

A large number of ImageNet classes are dogs and birds, so most of the representational power in CNNs trained on this set are devoted to distinguishing between similar-looking dog breeds and bird species.
The market already churns out an astonishing amount of pseudoscience. You don't need any special policies from big corporations for that. Magical thinking is one of those human things that seems to be deeply ingrained and requires sustained effort, practice, and training to avoid. Science and scientific thinking does not happen on its own. No one is born a scientist.
> Almost all of the costs of replacing the cabling in the US today is digging a trench, or getting access to privately owned telephone poles.

Firstly, if you have existing ducts there is no need for trenching. Secondly, a lot of trencing is replaced by directional boring and, where possible, by microtrenching or plowing. Thirdly, gaining access to poles isn't usually the problem. What takes time and money is to get them into such a state that new cable can be installed. Fourthly, your largest cost is always going to be labor, regardless of what you do. Lastly, even ignoring all the other costs there is still equipment and materials, which will account for at least a fifth of the project costs.

So in summary, no almost all the cost is not in the line items you specify. A lot of money is going to get spent no matter what when you replace your outside plant.

> As evidenced by Google Fiber’s struggles.

Google is also being actively hampered by competitors that own the poles they need access to.

> If that cost is eliminated, replacing fiber outside is as cheap as replacing it inside a datacenter.

That's a bit optimistic, as the outside plant is far larger than any datacenter, not administered by a signle party nor a controlled environment.
