Well lwn.net says "The GPL is a license, not a contract", and that distinction makes a difference[1]. The same applies to the BSD license.

But whatever... Good luck. It's not like these things are the result of decades of lawyers scrutinizing every word.

Oh, regarding your other objection, i. e. the two requirements actually not applying to use but only redistribution, that is just a bit of convoluted logic to make the text shorter. Logically, it's:

if (USING || REDISTRIBUTING || REDISTRIBUTING_BINARY) {
ALLOWED = GO_AHEAD
if(REDISTRIBUTING && !CONDITION_1) {
ALLOWED = NOPE
}
if(REDISTRIBUTING_BINARY && !CONDITION_1) {
ALLOWED = NOPE
}
}

Its actually more worse.

Its like "I seem to have sore throat, let me take this anti-biotic right now, so that it doesn't escalate to something big later"

And they are right too. Most doctors write down the same regimen of antibiotics every single time.

Either way most doctors in India care about nothing apart from money and their immediate interests. Many realize they will never do a MD, so there are a lot of small time clinics, with rudimentary testing labs for blood work. They only care about maximizing per visit consultation fees and commission they get from the pharmacy store next door.

Its a huge mess, and there are no ways to fix it given the population scale.
You seem to think that paying off debt is not important. Why?
Ask HN: Help with username
I"m trying to make a standard username for all social media. I wear many hats, and my name is fairly common. I could do something like IAmMyName, but that annoys me for some reason. I have been using a weird, nonsensical name I find funny. But I'm thinking it might confuse or turn off people.

I know the most important thing is to be consistent, and I admit I change my name quite often because I can't find one that feels right. I could go with my middle initial between my first and last name like FirstMLast, but I don't use my middle initial. So, won't that add some confusion?

This seems so trivial yet also seems like an important decision. What are your thoughts?
It's obviously so important that they posted it to Tumblr instead of on the yahoo website itself...
What essential safety features are removed? The only thing I can think of this referring to is assertions, and we do the opposite: assert stays in all builds, debug_assert is only in debug builds.
Generally the terrible JavaScript is stuff you don't have to argue until you're blue in the face to avoid. A lot of people have bad JS code base, but they know they are bad and are trying to do better. That's fine by me.

For this particular stuff, if a team is really into the whole OOP/classes things, it's not like a small feature like arrow functions vs not, or semi-colon vs not... it will dictate the entire architecture of the entire code base, and it's easy to detect, so why not?
That's what I meant by "multi modal": they put most of it on ships but buy up enough air capacity to make the early deliveries. Once the ships start arriving they can abandon the air.

Thanks for the clarification. Yet another dilution of a technical term, sigh.

I was quite excited when I read it, and felt quite let down when I followed up.
RxJava library for Jersey framework
This is also one reason why Tensor Flow is open. Yes, Google wants it to become the standard, but it's also not a competitive advantage.

The advantage is not the Deep Learning algorithm.

Some theoretical progress has been made on Neural Networks lately, but largely it's the same stuff from the 90s, with much more GPUs and data.

The competitive advantage is the cloud, and the software mess that keeps it alive.

I think Deep Learning experts will be like Linux Kernel experts. You need 1000 kernel experts in the world, but you need 10 million javascript monkeys that code what dialog message appears when the user does something stupid in some app.
I don't either. I have no familiarity with the industry. Are there only eight companies doing it? I guess it's just that there's no such thing as a small company operating in this business. The scale just seems massive, to me; a single ship costs millions in operations alone.
So this is the way it works in India. Most people who know a little english remember the brand name of the drug.

Others just walk to the pharmacy store and narrate the symptoms to the pharmacist. Typically: Sore throat, a little fever etc. Then they state their budget(10-20 rupees), the pharmacist gives two tablets of Azithromycin.
> There's no reason for RV ownership

Beyond storing your clothes, trinkets, computer gear, etc? Maybe we'll all end up renting permanent storage lockers instead, then.
The problem is, Microsoft can't really do this. If they hired the creator of Babel, then proceeded to add TypeScript parsing support to it, they would immediately be accused of trying to "embrace, extend, extinguish".

On second thought, that might not be such a bad idea. Babel already parses some type annotations, why not also add the little extra syntax supported by TypeScript?
This is disgusting. It might be from @poodlecorp
Sure, my point was more that this can be demonstrated by a much simpler project. How many candidates have you seen who haven't had a deep learning job before complete such a complicated project?
Wow, as someone uneducated about anything related to electricity and power, seeing the picture in the article really made me want to emulate the setup. Not anymore.
You should open source it. Would be cool to see how you're doing data vis for this.
As someone who lives in an Airstream and works from home, I would have to disagree. In the context of this idea of 'the future of home ownership', the RV becomes the 'place for my stuff' in the George Carlin sense. Having my house (RV) drive itself to the next beautiful state park or national forest I want to camp in while I work or sleep or watch a movie would be amazing.
Indeed it does, now I know where the fiverr contractor got his inspiration, hehe.
That has the opposite problem a 3.6 TJ per hour powerplant = 1 GW. Aka 1billion joules per second * 1 hour / 1 hour.

Might as well just say 1 billion joules per second aka 1 GW then tack on or remove an hour if needed.
I've been very curious for a very long time about people doing indoor bike workouts while storing the pedaling energy in batteries. Any of you do such things ?

El Capitan runs perfectly in Virtualbox on Arch for me.
Yes, many projects would kill to have someone like you on their team.
The N64 only had 4 megs of unified RAM. 640x480x3bytesx2buffers would be 1800k. It was technically possible to run that without the expansion pack. But, losing that 1350k compared to 320x240 really hurt. 4x fillrate cost hurt even more.

N64 had a form of antialiasing support https://www.google.com/patents/US6999100 That was the motivation for the "9-bit RAM". Worked well enough for the time and was cheap enough to use. Much cheaper than running at a higher rez.
You can read it on the Google cache to some extent. Here's the article on the DDOS

They are from the same category as people who put 5 start of five on their resume. What does it mean? 5/5 for MS Office? Clicking, double clicking, getting, sending emails?

However I wound't blame IoT for all of it. What about uncountable number of vulnerable routers at home and small offices? As far as I know they may send legitimate (from ISP PoV) low traffic all day to some endpoints on internet.
Just to give a different perspective. We are an on prem shop that sells to banks, telcos etc who can't use the cloud for compliance reasons. We make it work by doing other things people need in those environments well. One example is my willingness to do an install via dvds rather than "the cloud".

We mainly do fraud detection and security related work.
We have also seen operations workloads (forecasting when machines are going to break or preventative maintenance)
Most of our core business isn't even CNNs.

One thing that's missing from the narrative is that researchers who vision and speech because it's "pretty" and you can demonstrate results on a large feature vector. It's also very relatable for normal people.

Most of corporate america (not silicon valley) has more traditional things like time series data. Not images.

I would say here that deep learning use cases aren't explored by most people and that there are other areas besides what the marketing with self driving cars is perpetuating.

The other thing I would add here is when companies get bigger they typically need to take core competencies like vision and speech in house. It can be hard to justify outsourcing your core business to google as you grow.

This trend however might change over time. I would love to hear contradictory statements here.

Disclosure: I am a deep learning founder in the same batch as the authors of this blog post.
> bottom is the exact same thing as null

No it's not because you can't check for bottom (purely) and thus you can't use it as a flag or sentinel value.

For the people who want a job in deep learning, they are definitely around and they will be for a while.

It's true that DL will probably become just-another-library, but that will happen only once computing becomes extremely cheap on the petaflop scale (it isn't cheap yet). Even after that happens, the people that spend time doing DL now will be trained in a way of thinking that will be in demand for a long time.
And note the Microsoft CLA says "you grant Microsoft a patent license covering your contribution", while Microsoft grants no patent licenses over (edit: most) of their open source code, and are currently profiting from patent licenses against open source code in android etc.

When it comes to patents, MIT is a closed source proprietary license, while Apache 2.0 and GPL are open source and free software. All these companies spewing bs about how open MIT is bugs me to no end.
I have an account that was definitely compromised. I had completely forgotten this account existed and never used it to sign up for anything else. I was rather surprised when I realized someone had that email and password.
I wonder if dectection/knowledge of the breach came about due the examination of the Yahoo assets as part of the upcoming merger by Verzion
I think OpenBSD beg to differ.

Not to mention I would argue memory exhaustion bugs like this happen in memory safe garbage collected languages frequently too.
It's pretty safe so long as you use a battery controller with appropriate monitoring to prevent overcharging.

Recycled 18650 cells that have worked fine in laptops for years are very unlikely to suddenly explode on you for no reason. I'd be more worried about the mystery Chinese ones you can get new on the web!

Here's some Materials Science students at Oxford who built packs using recycled laptop cells. They used controller software that monitors the health of each individual cell:

One thing you missed is that there just isn't the same culture around open source development in the windows world. After all, why should someone devote their time to make windows (a commercial, closed source product) better?
It seems like the Hillary/Russia thing has everyone thinking, without any evidence, that it's always fake when a state actor is accused. I don't see any reason to doubt them, do people think that countries are not trying to hack into these systems?
You're overthinking usernames.

But if IAmMyName is an option, how about TheRealMyName, DefinitelyMyName or MyNamesEvilTwin?
It's not about whether the technology will die per se; it's about whether they are contractually guaranteed that there will be a professional support team in place to support it for X years, and whether the vendor's ability to fulfill that contract over the long term is perceived as realistic by the client.

Consulting mailing lists and IRC for a DIY solution is not an acceptable solution for most enterprise users. Moreover, there's nobody to sue if something goes wrong.

Red Hat was formed to fill that gap, but so far it has had only modest success. Companies like IBM, HPE, and Oracle exist because they are perceived as stable, likely to be able to support their technology over the long term.

For example, mainframes and COBOL are largely long dead technologies, but banks that bought mainframes running COBOL from IBM in the 1970s are still very much getting active commercial-grade support for those technologies from IBM today.
Thanks for this, clarifies a bunch for me.

I haven't hit any of the compelling reasons, so going to stick with functions for now.
(2009) Boolean Satisfiability: From Theoretical Hardness to Practical Success
I guess I'm the outlier here. I signed up for a paid personal account while trying to sign up for a business account. The custom domain option being available for a personal account threw the wrench in my plans.

The tech support rep who answered barely understood their platform and kept giving me incorrect instructions. It took a long while on the phone with that rep to get the account moved to a business account.
I like his battery haha, colorful. Also nuts to test all those cells. Make sure they're all roughly the same performance. wonder how hard it would be to find a bad cell.
"We are recommending that all users who haven’t changed their passwords since 2014 do so."

And then don't include an easy link to where users can do that? Great work yahoo.

I found my way to http://profile.yahoo.com but apparently from my machine at an AU University: "profile.yahoo.com’s server DNS address could not be found"
There is a big culture difference.
> What stops pirates from taking over the ships?

Where are they offshore? Pirates are not globetrotters with ports all over the world. But if this was off the coast of Somalia type things you'd think it would happen. Unless they are only interested in the ransom in which case probably mot a good score anyway.

> What about the crews just taking what they want and leaving?

Most people dont steal because they know its wrong. Not because they couldn't get away with it before. And where are they off to? If you're a Filipino on a ship sitting off US coast, what your going to fill a lifeboat full of Chanel perfume, head for the coast, lug it from lifeboat and hail a taxi? Sell it somewhere and try and get out of the country you have no visa for and get back home... doesn't sound too appealing.
I agree that you need to grow food suitable for the climate you are in. How does this clash with local food production? If you locally grow food that is adapted to your climate, surely that's the best solution?

I have difficulty believing that eating imported pineapples in the UK pollutes less than eating local apples
That's not how CF works either, they'll force you to a custom plan if you get hit enough.

If it wasn't clear, Krebs wasn't paying Akamai a penny. I'd assume their cheapest solutions start around 10k a month, hard to justify for a journo.
I saw winfsp a few months back and thought it looked fantastic. But...

1. the license.

2. windows.

Also, I suspect open source follows a pareto distribution (5% of the projects get 95% of the contributions). And no contributors is probably better than being overwhelmed with low quality contributions and feature requests.
Probe of leaked U.S. NSA hacking tools examines operative's 'mistake'
Not in CS, it was in Systems Design Engineering. My Ph.D. was more mechanical than anything. My Master's had a big CS component as I was affiliated with the computer graphics lab (my Master's co-supervisor was part of the lab until he retired to look after his wife). I did most of the numerical CS courses and all the CS computer graphics courses.

There's not much call for my particular skill set, unfortunately. I interviewed for a position in Google X, but it was a very strange interview and I didn't get past that, despite giving a very thorough answer for the pre-interview problem they posed.
This evidence will just be overturned in 15-30 years, when new studies show fat was really bad all along. Everything is healthy, if you wait long enough.
But you also dont need any of those things to be successful for a time long enough to subsidize your actual passion
non-nullable types are excellent. It basically gives you implicit Maybe/Option.
My work "upgraded" to IE 11 late last year. The problem is so much of our internal infrastructure was built to target IE 8 (or earlier) that when our information services guys deployed IE 11 they forced it to run in compatibility mode.

Now you have to go through this endless dance of Enable/Disable compatibility mode depending on what site you are trying to visit. We have a lot of non technical users so as soon as you ask them to delve into menu options to use some added functionality on a site you lose them.

Even technical users hate this so most people sideload chrome. However a large number of workstation are locked down and those people have no option but to continue with IE.
Concur with imjared -- Uber likewise went "full circle" and started adopting more "cab company functions" once they reached the appropriate scale: "Oh, hey, we might as well make money leasing the cars too!" "Oh hey, there's money to be made in payday advances!" [1]

With that said, (per imjared) Airbnb may have some comparative advantage in the ease with which they bring this spare capacity online via a nice interface; it could become a useful platform for allowing hotels to dump extra rooms for sale, in a way that's more pleasant for users to find.

[1] Lyft lets you get paid earlier for 50 cents IIRC.
So basically make a giant bonfire and throw money in.
You joke buy many many people don't know how volatile battery chemistry is and how different charging of Lithium cells works.

I'd not have known how much of a bad idea this was had I not been a long time fan of EEVBlog. It's an entirely different world when touching Lithium cells. Even drawing in parallel from cells from the same batch can be a bad idea.
Maybe by line count or importance, considering the Linux kernel. By project count, MIT dominates: https://github.com/blog/1964-open-source-license-usage-on-gi...
Hmm well I guess you can't treat people like minimum wage slaves and expect no action against it.
It's still not the best idea unless you can control the draw from each cell individually. Hooking these up in parallel is a horrible idea.
Adding a thought here. It's easy to find a reason not to apply. But 100% of the companies accepted into YC applied. Don't let any stat deter you, you have to start somewhere.

It's not a population of victims, by and large it's a population of people who don't see the point, and can't be bothered. The population of people whom the NSA keeps tabs on might be victims, the people who use Facebook are definitely not.

Besides, victim facilitation and precipitation is an ugly, and sad reality of life. You can be aware of your role in becoming a victim, without blaming yourself for the actions of other people who took advantage of your situation.

As to the rest, again, we're not talking about dropping off the grid or avoiding a government, just about not broadcasting everything all of the time for some paltry "free" service.
You would get very little out of it. Enough to run a dim LED for a couple hours at most.

If you did it in addition to (as opposed to instead of) your exercise then the energy in the food you ate is massively greater than what you can get from the bicycle. If you eat more as a result then you wasted your money.
Building a pack from random cells like this is pretty much a cardinal sin with Li-Ion pack design. Cell resistance and state of health are carefully matched during pack manufacture to ensure cells charge and discharge evenly. Li-ion cells are pretty sensitive, so on top of that, large packs have battery management systems (BMS) to balance cell voltages and monitor for faults and damaged cells.

Attempting to charge a pack like shown has a very real risk of causing one or more of the cells to overcharge and breach, or worse, violently catch fire.
The whole rationale behind it is [0] to thwart attempts at creating a U.N.-run IANA or countries creating their own IANAs. Most seem to believe that governments or government-influenced entities won't really gain any significant, disconcerting powers. If so - is it reasonable to believe that in the long term it will have the desired political result?

I don't feel like I fully understand what's going to happen. So I'd definitely feel more assured if we went for a probationary period as suggested here https://www.lawfareblog.com/icann-and-iana-transition-procee...

I used to dismiss and mock self-help advice and books. Certainly there's lots of crap out there, but someone I care about has actually been helped by a few. Not all are created equal, not all are authored by people that wants to cheat people with low self-esteem, some people actually care and has the knowledge to do it.
> This reminds me of an anecdote about Goedel, not sure if it's true or not, but here goes.

Ah, not quite so fast! If you write: “all the introductory text which follows”, that might be construed as meaning not the part between the notice and the text which follows these words. So we have to have a terminating condition for this recursion of uncertainty. I agree, “this entire license” is probably the best form.

But anyway, my point, in the above and in my other reply with the anecdotes, is that while you may be perfectly right from the stand point of common sense and logic, it may not translate to being legally right. Of course, I think you modifications are reasonable, but I have to agree with matt4077 – it creates problems and uncertainty for others, you're (I guess?) not a lawyer, and even if you were, they would still need to consult lawyers about it. It adds friction.
