No shit! They should charge companies and news agencies, and anyone representing companies per tweet(1k per tweet or similar). They provide a valuable service - why should they give it to corporations for free?
While true, on the scale of the federal government, $1 billion is pretty trivial.
Lotus Notes was very successful. They were acquired for $3.5B in 1995, long before our current bubble economy. It's likely Slack will progress along the same path - except it will be much faster now. If they don't sell out soon enough they will ride it into the ground and a new fad will take over. Remember Yammer? I don't see Slack as being different to the others. They don't have the talent or motivation to fix their core issues (Facebook does). Bots are not a panacea. Anecdotally I've noticed lots of people have already abandoned Slack because it is distracting and doesn't provide enough value. I expect this to continue. Busy people with jobs and lives will be the first to go and it'll be left with the annoying people with nothing better to do, kinda like Twitter. I think Facebook can and will eventually do a better Slack than Slack.
`grep` itself is admirably fast on single files, and if you're just searching a small number of files, the bottleneck will be IO, and `grep` will be about as fast as anything. But if you want to use `grep` recursively on a selected subset of millions of files it suffers a bit. `grep` assumes that if you want to collect some subset of files to search, you'll do that with some other utility, and pass the list of files to `grep`, but that creates a bottleneck.

More recent search programs like `ack` and `ag` solve the multifile bottleneck issue, but also perform worse than `grep` on single large files.
I made no claim of the type you're implying, although I do work in the automotive industry. My comment was strictly related to history - A123 Systems was also a company of electrical and mechanical engineers attempting pretty much the same thing, and they failed nonetheless (you can look up the history if you're curious). My point was that technical expertise is insufficient on its own to guarantee success in areas like this where a minor manufacturing defect can brick cars or light them on fire months after they leave the factory. That's what extensive QA at scale means - every single battery that gets sold has to be extensively checked for performance and safety or else you get Galaxy Note 7 or A123... again.
>it is a replacement for C in the zone where C's performance and static typing are attractive

Was C's "static" typing ever attractive as a static type system?
Totally agree. This is like burntsushi's technical tour de force, the culmination of years of work building up a stack of technology leading up to this utility and article. It's a simple tool, but he's built every piece from the ground up to be the very best, and then documented the shit out of it. So cool.
Well I didn't meant to offend him, I was just pointing out that I think it's a quite naive point of view and in doing so hoping he'll doubt himself and think about it :p I know the 'proper' way would be to write a dissertation on it and try to take his mind for a walk and go through why and etc, but well, I think he would be bored and I would too.
Your conclusion and the one I implied in my comment are not mutually exclusive.

My solution, implied in my comment, was not to use naive statistical models or ideas (i.e. 75% of "crime").
Oracle should pay, they knew exactly what they were doing. If it was them, they would be suing too. Live by the sword die by the sword.
I stand partially corrected.. from now on I will have to remember to say "co-opted" by creationists rather than "invented" by.

However, they are still identical things with the only difference being the amount of time.
From your link:

"The main difference between the two processes is that one occurs within a few generations, whilst the other takes place over thousands of years (i.e. a quantitative difference)."
What AI will mean for your e-commerce business
"Oh well we better contact the police and have them sort this out" pulls out phone and dials the local equivalent 911 before waiting for a response. Any responsible traveler should have this number memorized for where they are going an be sure they get a phone that works in their destination.
Solaris was definitely head and shoulders above Linux back in the early days. But, in retrospect, it might have been a very good move to use Linux and get familiar with it, and especially to contribute to its development, as Linux turned out to be the future (thought not so much on Sun hardware).
In the general case that's a huge pain. In this case, where you're writing a single blob to disk, you can stick a checksum at the end and you're good to go.
Your link shows that over 75% of the conferences are B or lower. So sure, the submissions to A* conferences are not 80% garbage, but these conferences are 4% of the total. Not really representative of academic work as a whole.
Ah HN, never change.
I like the idea however another menu bar item seems to be the wrong way to go about doing this. Why is brew a bad idea?
Similar for the one I went to on the east coast. State school, in-state rates. Around $10k or $11k each year although it was closer to $8-9k when I went.

Either way, between working part time through high school I paid for the first year or so. Worked basic service-type jobs back home during summers (retail, restaurant, etc) to pay for the next year's rent and food budget. Worked very part-time during the year (like maybe 6 or 7 hours a week at the computer lab) for bullshit money to spend on stupid stuff like $4-a-head keg party cover charge on the weekends because I wasn't just confined to school and work.

The rest was taken out in loans and after all was said and done, I probably owed around $25-30k in low-interest loans with an insanely low payment rate for the first year or so out of school.

So yeah, I owed the equivalent of a decent new car and when I was still scraping by as a recent grad I had to make <$80/mo payments before moving up to the "full" minimum payment of <$120/mo. That at least allowed me to keep up with payments while getting settled but incurred no penalties when I started paying much more than minimum once I was stable.

I guess my experience was that I financed the equivalent of a new car while gaining that much more each year in salary after a few years due to having that degree. Was it rough right out of school? Definitely. I had roommates for a good few years after graduation and never got to blow thousands on stuff like Spring Break or shopping trips.

Still, I'm glad I didn't end up like so many people I've met who went to schools that cost 2-5x as much, owned a car, went on trips, and didn't start paying for any of it until after graduation.
That depends on business needs, not what some programming language designer thinks.
Content? No. But it's still far better than the system you propose.
I had someone from Google (young guy, summer job stuff) come into my office park and map out wi-fi points asking us if this office is still where the company I work for works at. Google has the resources to utilize HUMINT. That's how Google knows where you are.

This guy said he does this in a bunch of cities, driving around the geographic area of the USA where I work in. Very interesting to learn about.

Edit: I am not located anywhere near where Google has an office, so for him to stop by was interesting by itself.

Edit 2: grammar.
TSLA produces 2,000 per week.

GM produces close to 10 million cars per year. Calculating that out, it's 192307 per week...almost 100x.

TSLA isn't irrelevant, but definitely small.

BTW GM is selling a mass produced 100% electric vehicle. You can have one in your driveway before the end of the year. $30k after tax incentive, 255 miles per charge (more than Tesla Model 3)

Just a design tip: the red border that separates the full date from the days till countdown is completely unnecessary. Also, a bit bigger dark gradient behind it would be nice. Also, when hovering over the top menu the link goes dark enough to be hard to read, so perhaps not change the color on hover, but add a border underneath the link instead to hint that the link is being in fact hovered?
I have often seen claims that doing any kind of crypto in (browser) javascript is dangerous. Does this fall into that trap?

How can I safely share the URL to someone without already using an established encrypted communication method?

Is the encryption key stored in my browser history?
I don't know anyone in tech who appreciates cigars. It doesn't go with things like rock climbing, kayaking, snowboarding, ultramarathoning, CrossFit, or redditing that our fields are known for. I love them, but what's the HN connection?
Twitter Stock Surges After News That Google May Make a Bid
If NYC has data that has not previously been used for surveillance and Palantir is enabling them to use it for surveillance ("you're violating the fire code!") then it is ushering in an era of civil surveillance. I don't see what the hyperbole is.
If you make a policy of ignoring individual things because the cost in isolation is trivial, the sum of those ends up not being trivial. Or, as is popularly misattributed to (but endorsed by) Senator Everett Dirksen: "A billion here, a billion there, and soon you are talking about real money".
You can actually exercise before stock has vested. If you leave the company before your stock vests they have the option of buying it back from you.
You don't have to explain this to me. I was just providing a fix. Talk to your local representatives.
Does anyone know what differentiates Palantir from a typical OLAP + ETL stack like SASS + SSIS?
> 350 million active users, that's about $29 per user

Name one other platform which has Obama, Trump, Hillary, Beiber, JK Rowling, Pope, United Airlines, Marc Anderseen, Borrat, Bozo the Clown all engaging in two way communication with their fans and haters ?

I think an investor should worry less about $29 per user metric and worry more about the incompetence of the top management which has failed to generate revenue out of this.
Right? Something can be a so-called "open secret" but where it is brought up and how it is intended to be used is what is at question here.

And arguing for the "heat of argument," is a weird position to take, but I'm sure no lawyer and definitely no Oracle lawyer.
I had the same question and concern. I see its available via brew.
JQuery 3.1.1 Released
Surely you'd diff the data structures in memory, not the serialized JSON; and would it really be faster to blindly write the 300mb each time than perform this diff?
Also: Steve Jobs founded NeXT (which didn't hurt the prospect of a sale IMHO)
Others have explained it, but I downvoted without comment because, to paraphrase Jules in Pulp Fiction: "that's not only not in the same ballpark, it's not even the same fuckin' sport." I wouldn't know how to comment beyond that. (That, and your "think of the children" didn't help.)
Network stacks and web browsers are easier to improve incrementally than more fundamental parts of the OS.

> Let's say I'm running a site. It gets DDoSed. Almost all of the booters are behind Cloudflare. How do I proceed here? Call the local police? Email abuse@fbi.gov?

With or without Cloudflare in the mix, how the heck would you go about making the connection between a flood of traffic from a large number of IPs, and any particular booter site? I don't understand how taking Cloudflare out of the mix helps you stop the DDoS.

As an aside, the FBI is indeed interested in investigating large DDoS attacks. Contact your local field office to see if yours qualifies! :-)

After looking into this more I see that even Krebs himself does not blame Akamai for dumping him so I regret that part of my post.

It looks very good and I'd like to try it. However I'm lazy and I don't want to install all the Rust dev environment to compile it. Did anybody build a .deb for Ubuntu 16?
In third world countries people historically got to use Internet services much later, with more limited hardware and in also in a very different way. (not on a PC, instead on a feature phone with a very small screen) So it's not surprising that they have a different perception than we do.

Frankly I don't care for the matter at hand about the perception and understanding of the Internet that people from a different culture might have just as I do not care about the Saudi perspective on women's and LGBT rights. We are discussing here what should be the standard in our societies.
Arab spring might have had CIA interventions. But twitter surely played a big role in making Urban India vote for Mr. Modi throwing a corrupt government out pretty badly.

Personally it was Twitter that educated me about some of the horrendous laws that the Indian government passes/planning to passed.
In learning mode as an adult you should really spend 12-14 hours a day thinking and tinkering, 2-3 months max. It has to be both a challenge and a boost.
My Ecology professor was a great mentor, leader and hilarious guy. He was super inspirational and taught us that nature was something to marvel at, and always informed us it was our responsibility to take care of it. He grew up a farm-hand in the midwest. And likely developed ALS later in life due to pesticide exposure bioaccumulation. [1]

This is an amazing breakthrough though. Stabilizing the SOD1 could potentially pave the way for preventing ALS in its early stages. Would this reversal of protein clumping help patients who have been exposed to pesticides or had head injuries that lead into ALS?

Also, Please donate to ALS research if you can. [2]

Yea, the government can stop it legally, that's why there is no Street View in Austria.

In other countries you can ask Google to blur your house.
This is pretty cool, but I believe that you still have to trust cryptpad.fr to send you javascript that won't leak.
At least it would make the language and ecosystem [slightly] more Google-able.
Understanding Angular 2 change detection
At first I thought this was about Palantir leasing vast amounts of office space, as they did in Palo Alto. But NYC? They're not that big.

Take a look at the top 10 US government contractors.[1] Most of the top 10 make weapons systems. But two are in information processing: Leidos (used to be SAIC), and L-3 Communications. Palantir isn't even in the top 100. Maybe they're more into state and local customers.

There's lots of potential for innovation in the state and local government space. A smartphone app for building inspectors, for example. One that involves lots of picture taking and GPS tagging. There are building inspector apps, but they're basically paper forms reworked for tablets.

An ambitious project would be a system which takes the video and audio from a cop's body cam and does most of the paperwork. Show it a driver's license or a face, and it's in the record and understood by the system. Cops hate paperwork, yet have to document much of what they do. Automate that and cops will be glad to wear a cam. Difficult and controversial, but useful.

It might be easier to sell in countries where local government is more standardized. In the US, you'd have to customize a system for every police department.

Alternatively, the rights of the people of a state to choose how they are governed (along certain dimensions) without regard to the federal government.

12GB/day is about 140kB/second, or one Apple 2 floppy disk every second.

It also is about single CD speed (yes, you could almost record uncompressed stereo CD quality audio all day round for that amount of data)

Long time Netscape/ firefox user here:

1. Thanks for your work.

2. How do I really contribute? Could you link to what I need to do to start working on this now? I'm affected by this problem ame want to figure out if I can fix it.
Why not just use DNS load balancing over VIPs served by HA pairs of load balancers?

Back in the day we did this with Netscalers doing L7 load balancing in clusters, and then Cisco Distributed Directors doing DNS load balancing across those clusters.

It can take days/weeks to bleed off connections from a VIP that is in the DNS load balancing, but since you've got an H/A pair of load balancers on every VIP you can fail over and fail back across each pair to do routine maintenance.

That worked acceptably for a company with a $10B stock valuation at the time.
Trolling does not mean what you think it means. Trump memes are 99% not trolling.
Really cool. You may want to add southern hemisphere seasons to it too
Uber to use driver selfies to enhance security
That's exactly what I wanted to achieve; I didn't have the time or inclination to work out exactly which part of Firefox is responsible.

In my case it was not SSD wear I wanted to reduce, but the short pauses during interactive use.
You seem to demand respect. For those who don't know you, nor how great you are, nor indeed why, the presumption of deference is .. lets just say .. off-putting.

But, would you consider this a cultural thing? I mean, props and all, but .. I find it hard to take you seriously because of the attitude.

>This is basic criminal defense stuff, actually. "What time did you go to the cafeteria? Did anyone else see you there?" Then talk to the people who he says saw him.

And they'd remember they saw him after 6 months, and even more so that they saw him leave in 15:20 instead of 15:10, because?

>None of this is unique to child porn cases.

No, but all this make "I didn't change them because filestamps in file are in an hour I wasn't there" difficult.

Heck, the teacher himself will probably not remember where he was at the time the timestamps show...
Reddit's /r/economics has a fair and conventional list.

This is quite odd solutions if you take into account that countries with major carbon output per capita are in demographic decline (http://pictures.ozy.com/pictures/768xany/8/0/1/8801_2013-tfr... vs https://assets.bwbx.io/images/users/iqjWHBFdfxIU/i6C9pICQ9vx...)

We should stop hyper-producing the over-hyped stuff we essentially don't require.
Interesting...also good to know. Thanks!
Salesforce has this weird hosted private social network called Chatter. It's closer to facebook statuses than twitter.

I'm not if there really could be a tie in, but one thought is that if a company could take an internal chatter post and promote it to public, that public post could be spread via twitter.

What I'm saying is Golang is a recent programming language so it works best when used for multi tier/services, not to create a giant monolithic Java app that has a huge number of loc.
If you never exercise you don't pay taxes.

I think if you hold the shares longer than 2 years, then you pay capital gains. If you hold them less than 2 years, then you pay income tax.
From a glance at the GitHub page, it looks like you can self-host the project. Is "bower install" a possible attack vector as well? I'm unfamiliar with it.
As opposed to Hillary Clinton? Her supporters have spent quite the sum pushing back against users on most social networks.

It's the rhetoric that's been put forth in this election to pander to the lowest common denominator, whether we like it or not.
There's a lot of references to orgasm in the writings of Shakespeare's contemporaries. Ancient Egyptians had a very playful attitude towards sex, as evidenced by art and writing. Romans had recreational sex, aided by the availability of a natural abortion inducing drug. Also, quite famously, there is graffiti from ancient Rome admonishing a local resident to stop constantly going down on local women.

Recreational sex is a basic human thing, across cultures and across history. People who think otherwise are just demonstrating ignorance of history and culture. This is common among young people, who often aggrandize themselves by convincing themselves that they are the first people ever to discover [insert basic human thing here]. Much harm has come out of their activities. (Though this too is a basic human thing, and much fun has also come of it.)
You obviously have a more sophisticated take on the question. Parent comment referenced "75% of crime," not "75% of violent crime" or "75% of rapes and aggravated assaults recorded in compustat."

The general point holds - there are corrective measures that need to be taken to avoid skewing crime data as a result of increased enforcement, and in the case of some jurisdictions those measures are being taken.

What's not obvious to me is whether police are increasing the severity of the charges based on where they are, even if the charges wouldn't necessarily hold up in court. There's a case to be made that that would be an efficient tactic - public defenders will encourage plea bargains and it gives the DA more leverage to settle the case quickly and efficiently. The opposite may be true when booking a drunk banker who gets in a fistfight, or a privileged college kid who rapes his date behind a dumpster.

Also, the discussion generally is not about CompuStat, it's about "quality of life" improvements prosecuted with the use of secret databases that are not publicly available. So, you know, there's that.

Why Trump is the ultimate postmodern presidential candidate
1- I don't know how exactly AMT liability interacts with the capital loss carry over

2- Almost nobody hits the AMT jackpot year after year.

3- Ask your CPA and California's tax system is one of the worst in the country. They keep milking that SV cash cow year after year, and it is drying up but they don't seem to care :)
Google has developed a brand problem, similar that Microsoft. I'm positive that many would stop using Twitter if they bought it.
How does that much data get into Session Restore? Mine are only about 3KB per tab, and Firefox starts melting at more than a thousand tabs.
What I meant is that pointfree style (which is what Ramda implements) isn't that great in JS:

* JavaScript is not suited for it (no composition operator, no interop with existing multi-argument functions)

* It doesn't improve readability over arrow syntax.

compose(f, flip(g)(y), h)

vs

x => f(g(h(x), y))

Another consideration is perhaps not all crimes that currently carry jail time as a penalty should. Is jailing someone for carrying a small amount of marijuana really in the best interest of society once the true costs are realized? Not all crimes have to be punished with imprisonment; in fact, not all crimes are.
