Fun fact: the suspicion right now is that this traffic is coming from compromised IoT devices. Just in case you needed another reason why the Internet of Things is the worst thing to happen to computing in a long while: it has handed attackers more ammo.
Good point! It kinda threw me off too, since heat energy isn't usually measured in kWh. But yeah, heat is a kind of higher-entropy form of energy than electricity, so you can, in fact, turn one unit of the latter to more than one unit of the former.

The "exchange rate" depends on the temperature; the maximum ("Carnot") heat pump efficiency is T_high/(T_high - T_low), where T_high is the temperature of the room being heated and T_low is the surrounding environment the heat is being pumped from (all on the absolute scale).

When T_high = T_low, the max COP is infinity, which has the physical meaning that "You don't need to spend any energy to keep a room the same temperature as its environment; that happens automatically."

The first example isn't due to an inability to get the location, but using a source of data that didn't have it, and didn't adequately explain that fact. It'll happen just as easily with IPv6.

Unloading these ships with state of the art equipment takes upwards of twelve hours. Many of those containers have GPS tracking devices embedded in them.

The sorts of ships routinely subjected to piracy are those carrying an easily transportable commodity (e.g. oil) that can be pumped out or stolen quickly and offloaded on a market without arousing suspicion.

You'd spend weeks going through all those containers to look for anything useful. Many, I'm sure, contain half-finished products, super cheap consumer goods, promotional merchandise, and niche application bulk supplies with almost zero value on the grey market.

If you had someone on the inside that could position the crate you wanted to steal right on top and ready to pick off, you'd just do that with a helicopter anyway and save yourself the trouble of hijacking it.
Given how popular (and damn near impossible to discern) unsafe and unprotected lithium-ion batteries are, the idea of making a homegrown power wall terrifies me in ways I can't even begin to contemplate.

An 18650 battery, if combusted, can produce hydrofluoric acid with just water vapor in the air (or the water in your lungs) if they use lithium hexafluorophosphate as the electrolyte. Hydrofluoric acid can and will cause permanent damage to lung tissue if inhaled, and nasty, nasty chemical burns to exposed skin. 18650 batteries are supposed to have several failsafes to prevent thermal runaway, but counterfeit batteries can lack those failsafes. Not to mention, in some laptop battery packs, the protection was pack-wide, and not in individual cells. Not knowing the chemistry of the cells or the state of the protection circuitry of the battery would make me very nervous. Maybe someone else can provide more detail on how to test them safely.

What you're describing, to me, seems to be a symptom of information asymmetry/warping caused by a corrupt and ineffective corporate media.

Everything makes more sense if you don't think of the media as a medium, but a group of self-interested actors who sell tickets to exposing or suppressing what gets published.

Yahoo confirms gigantic breach: 500m users affected
I am going to hazard a guess as nobody else responded. They have a lot of different tools for different aspects (animation,mocap,shaders,texture painting, modelling, rigging, final render etc) and a USD allows them to quickly back-and-forth between the different stages on as-yet incomplete scenes to preview final renders, make fine adjustments further up and down the pipeline to accomodate for changes made elsewhere.
While you're at it, could you update with:

1. the respective percentages of companies that applied with and without prior seed funding, and

2. the respective percentages that were accepted from applicants with seed funding and applicants without seed funding.

As has been noted elsewhere in this thread, I think applicant vs. incumbent numbers would be a more honest reflection of the data if you want to dispel these myths.

This is a very important policy reform. Readers outside the US may not realize that the school funding system has this inbuilt feedback loop: good schools get more funding from property taxes and keep nearby property values high, bad schools get less funding from property taxes and keep nearby property values low. School quality is often key in determining home buyer location preferences.
Nope. They didn't make it useful (they didn't make it anything, they bought it as is) and as for famous, the only thing they made it famous for is as an example of runaway medical costs, which is hardly praise-worthy.

Don't get me wrong, I don't object to the concept of private property, investment and profit. But I also don't feel particularly obligated to be thankful for something Mylan didn't actually do.
I think an important note is that for all of those "Senior" traits, the extreme of each can be negative as well. It is always important for a developer to find a balance between engineering excellence and providing business value.

That's a better definition then, but it's really not so much the phone call that's illegal but making threats, planning a crime, or whatever activity is being discussed or carried out via a phone call.

Simply making a phone call is not illegal even in the case where that phone could trigger an explosive device.

Remember the phone companies are immune from prosecution in these cases because they're a common carrier, something that also applies to internet service companies now.

That's pretty abstract. If you weren't alive in the 70s you don't know or care what the standard of living was then. The only question is, what are you asking people to give up now, and what are you offering them in return?
Well, obviously, I wouldn't document everything, but if the argument name is "user" and it's an object, as opposed to a string, than it's probably a user object. Not exactly rocket science.

That's not exactly what Duck Typing is, but that is possibly true. However, in an OO system, Duck Typing has massive benefits, as you don't have to depend on inheritance to see if an object can be passed to a function: polymorphism. This is the sort of thing Java's interfaces do, albeit clumsily.

>If your code relies on properties added dynamically that might be useful for you, but god help anyone working with your code.

Obviously, you have to be careful about it. But if you're marking nodes on a graph, or attaching metadata to a function, especially if it's temporary, it comes in handy.
Whereas everyone understands the Windows 7 license, which is why that is so widely used.

You've hit the nail right on the head there.

Anyway, I only made these changes July 2014. I saw only a slight concern from the Fedora people, then haven't heard anything about it.

No. This kind of exaggerated spin on nuclear "disasters" is not only misleading, but harmful. If nuclear power was more prevalent, it would result in economic growth due to practically free power, and would also reduce our dependence on fossil fuels drastically.
Perhaps passively so? Colin has a point that it is hard to interpret this data honestly without an idea of what pre-acceptance (applicant) numbers look like.

If the goal is to dispel myths about what's required to get into YC, then this is not the data to accomplish that. However, if the goal is to show that exceptional applicants that do not fit the myths can be accepted, then sure, this data shows that.

It doesn't. React does that. ;)

Basically, TypeScript + React + a mostly purely functional style with a sprinkle of side-effecting IO is a really, really good combination.

Also, I find the argument a bit silly. "This cycling helmet doesn't protect your knees and elbows and spine, so its completely useless and you can remove it!"

There's been cases, but those are almost always inside jobs where they need help positioning and/or locating the containers they want to loot.

These are just random ships at sea. No such advantage here. It's truly a needle in a haystack problem.

If you want to steal the ship, a more practical plan would be to convince the crew to abandon ship (bribes?) and then claim it as salvage.

What's a "normal mile" regarding energy consumption?

There is a series of standardized driving profiles that is averaged to get a comparable, somewhat realistic value.
Well, I didn't :) As I noted in my other comment, high costs of patent medicine is an intentional feature of US medical system, but of course this system is prone to abuse and one can argue Mylan has crossed the line to abuse.
FDA is a different aspect, also causing high price, and also intentional, but under the guise of "safety" - to the point that drugs and devices long approved and used in other countries are not allowed in the US, as if in US people have different physiology. This is what US citizens are paying for "better safe than sorry" - they are a tiny bit safer, but a lot more sorry for the high costs.

That's actually a cool idea.

One thing to keep in mind are retirement goals. If you want retire early or do your own startup someday I'd say go straight for the money. If you're planning a full career, retirement shouldn't matter too much and work/life balance is more important.
The good news is that i don't believe doing a startup out of college is the best idea. Startups serving millennial are way over saturated. There are bigger and more important problems in areas that college grads haven't experienced yet. Get a job at a growing industry that you are interested in. Don't take the job just based on salary. Learn the ins and out of your trade. When you are ready to take the plunge your startup will have a better chance of being useful. Your insider experience and network will be a competitive advantage.
There's no bug there. Copyright is about distribution, not use, so the “use” part is probably unnecessary anyway. And the warranty part is not conditional upon the two conditions. The MIT license is practically the same, and the analysis given in the article does not make note of this supposed bug, so we can consider that lawyer-confirmed. IANAL, so it's just my understanding of the issue.

I remember people mentioning another possible bug in BSD licenses: if you try to split hairs, and depending on the way you do it, it's questionable if the sentence before the enumerated conditions is part of those conditions or not. If not, that sentence needs not be distributed in copies, so it makes the whole thing meaningless.
Well, yeah, but what about whatever thing comes along in Babel that will make your code an order of magnitude cleaner?

What about all the tools that work with babel, rather than TS?

And from what I saw, Flow has a type system at least as good as TS's. Am I wrong?
Few people highlight this, but people doing stuff like documentation and support are hugely valuable... and often, completely missing... from open source projects. Open source projects have a high tendency to be seen as difficult to get involved with or difficult to use, because support may be limited or non-existent.

If you're helping people on issues or giving feedback on PRs, I'd absolutely argue you're a valuable member of that project's community, and perhaps key to the continued success and growth of that project.
That assumes they are for sale, are you sure they are? Given how profitable the manufacture of EpiPen's is, wouldn't buying such a patent be hugely expensive?
Sadly, this is demonstrably untrue. A purely-math-based approach would still bear the weight of past racist policies and their residual effects, but that's not even what we have today.
I don't agree with you on (1), so I think we need data.

(2) is creating an entirely different argument from blue sky. You're putting words in my mouth.

I support installing ad-blockers to reduce attack surface.

Removing Flash and Java is more nuanced. Most non-advanced users expect Flash sites to work and many non-advanced users need Java sites to work (e.g. enterprise internal crap). I think click-to-play is a decent mitigation here that non-advanced users can understand.

Maybe disabling Java is okay, so long as they really do not need it for anything. Disabling Flash is a harder sell.

> Since many are burdened with massive student debt, they can’t afford to launch startups...

I'm really dubious of this as an explanation. The figure I found here[0] says the average debt is $37k. I bet that the median is actually quite lower than that because of how wildly different tuition can cost (private liberal arts versus state college). Either way that's not "massive" and hardly explains a cultural change.

This[1] article calls the group the most debt averse generation ever. Well which is it?

What does YC have to lose by telling people the actual numbers? You created the misconceptions in the first place. It's also reinforced by the number of 'Common misconceptions' articles...
Sure. Feel free to call it anycast then. I usually hear anycast routing used in the context of achieving failover or routing flows to the closest server/POP, but there is probably a more formal definition in an RFC that I'll be pointed to shortly. =)

We are using BGP to advertise prefixes for GLB inside the data center to route flows to the directors. In our case all of the nodes are not on the same subnet (or at least not guaranteed to be) which is one of the reasons why we chose to avoid solutions requiring multicast. I expect Joe and Theo will get into more details about that in a future post though.
TL;DR: Deep Learning will become a commodity. Software will eat Deep Learning too.

I'd like to clean up a bit the air from the hype fog:

DL is giving amazing results only when you have big sets of labelled data. Hence it will be much cheaper for companies to buy Google/Microsoft Vision/Audio REST APIs rather than paying the costs of: cloud + find data + deep learning experts. So, I don't think we will see a massive growth of DL gigs.

e.g. Google Vision API: https://cloud.google.com/vision/

Except those areas where your own CNN implementation is needed (automotive, industrial automation), Deep Learning will be another "library" in the ever increasing Software Engineering mess of gluing many open source libraries and REST apis to get something useful done. You need 1 guy training a Neural Network for every 100 software monkeys maintaining the infrastructure complexity.
There are now many Software Engineering jobs because it's hard to glue and maintain publicly-available code to solve some specific business problem.

I think the the same applies for many Data Scientist jobs, which are these days more about fetching/cleaning/visualizing data than making machine learning on it.
>Management didn't have a plan for an orderly shutdown, so when the company went into receivership

The structure of present day shipping implies there could not be an orderly shutdown.

Continuously moving modern freight is akin to a bank. Any efforts to quickly "wind-down" the operation leads to a shortfall in cash, accelerating the bankruptcy process rather than stopping.
And yet, they'll keep re-electing the politicians who brought us the insane run-up in undischargeable student loan debt. Call me when they've decided to stop being complicit in their own destruction.
4.0 was meant to be a development branch, various distros pushed it out anyway.
I should probably make an effort to finish that game someday. Not that I've finished many Super Mario games. I think I've purchased every one, but have completed maybe two of them. So many levels incomplete... I wonder if game devs feel bad working on higher levels, knowing only a tiny portion of players will actually ever see them?
>>Or put in another way: Should you network with YC alumni in case you ever want to apply?

Absolutely, yes. It doesn't mean that you will certainly get in, but having a professional relationship with one or more influential YC alumni will be very helpful.

Like almost anywhere else in life, networking is an essential business skill to have and use.
7th largest, like a couple percent of all shipping. Idk what your definition of small player is.
Oh, it’s much worse than that. Once you add in Google’s platform (Android), you get even more “visions” such as the “pre-Google open-source variant” of an Android app (before Google’s fork of it to add “improvements”), and usually at least one crappy version installed by the phone carrier. And typically none of these can be removed, all part of the ROM. I remember seeing at least THREE variants of several common apps when using Android. I couldn’t believe it was so unfocused.
Facebook Overestimated Key Video Metric for Two Years
This is actually an insanely good idea, since it allows you to maximize your awake time, for enjoyment. When you are sleeping, the RV can take you to your holiday destination. Since we sleep about 8 hours a day, you can use that to gauge how far you can travel.

The only issue would be road infrastructures. Road maintenance would become a serious issue, due to the extra strain of having potentially 10s of millions of RVs on the road.

If you want to re-experience OOT with graphics that work on high res displays, look on the web for the Djipi Cell pack. It makes the game cellshaded, like the wind waker, which makes it actually look very nice.

That said, if you want to experience a truly good Zelda with perfect graphics on any display (even the Vive), try out the Wind Waker on Dolphin. It is arguably the best Zelda ever made, and it looks absolutely stunning on modern hardware.

Do you come from a wealthy family? 37k is a lot to pay off when you're just out of school, STEM included. That's like 500-700 a month if you want to pay it off in 3-5 years. That kind of obligation makes it really hard to quit a job.
I came here to say just that. This is a horrible idea and definitely not something you should do.

Just use sealed AGM batteries, don't burn your house down or deal with spilling chemicals everywhere.

Even just drawing in parallel from batteries like this is a fire hazard. Charging is an out of your mind goal.
This is what I wish I did. I didn't work hard enough and chose the 'affordable but still expensive' UC system.
Exactly. I found an analysis I wrote a couple of years ago on it. For something like bananas, which are relatively expensive because they require refrigerated shipping, the total fuel cost for the sea part worked out at about 0.09 cents/lb.

And as you say, the cost of road shipping dwarfs that.

Part of the stigma is at least well deserving where I grew up, since if you had anything over a B average at my high school, the state schools would give you a full ride for all four years. Of course most people ended up paying a bunch of money to go to one of the UCs.
