"So how about sources then?"

Are you kidding me?

You must be young :).

Don't you have grandparents? Ask them. Look at their photos.

Are you too young to remember a time without smartphones, internet?

Have you ever driven a car from the 1960s?

Would you dare say that a Nintendo 64 is 'the same as' an XBox one?

You do realize that commercial air has exploded since the 1960's - it was once a 1%-er activity?

You do know that the number of people attending post-high school education is about tripled, right?

Do you remember a time when 'open heart surgery' was extremely rare and probably meant you died? It's common now. They can do hip replacements with a little slit. If you can't get a hard-on - there's a pill for that.

Do you realize that 'there was no TV' in the early 1950's for all intents and purposes?

That a large number of people, on farms and rural areas did not have plumbing (i.e. toilets?). My eldest uncle used an outhouse until he was 16. And they were the 'rich' family in town - with the first colour TV!

Do you realize that this very discussion could not even happen in the 1970's? And that basically nobody envisioned that it could have?

Man - not even long ago - about the late 1990's - 'cell phones' were still a 'rich person' thing. Zero kids had cellphones. There was a meme of 'rich dicks' on their large cellphones talking loudly to brag that they had them.

Life expectancy is way up.

Almost every measure.

You have to be very young if you're asking that question.

Every single facet of material life has improved, except maybe 'time spent in traffic' and 'debt load'. And since 2008 the average home size and cars/person ratio has gone down a little bit.
Okay, so where is the beef? u/krastanov blasted me too but the question remains, what are they doing? How can they sell single computer if your point #3 is true? I would think that researchers must be smart enough to sniff out a scam so I have to think DW must offering some thing new, different or superior to standard CPUs or processing -- even if primitive and expensive. Moreover, if your point #2 is true then how can they claim to be offering a 2K qbit computer? It makes no sense as long as words have real meaning.

Thanks for point #4, I will investigate.
D-Wave isn't the only Unicorn Tech on the Planet, YC-HN seem to have a dozen of their own such Unicorn's.

http://www.helionenergy.com/

Here is a said 'fusion engine', funny a trillion dollars and 60+ years has been spent on FUSION, and nada a result, but the unicorns have solved the problem, don't worry no human is allowed to see or touch the tech, not unlike a real unicorn, where the horn too, is accepted but un-proven.

IMHO Quantum-Computing would be useful for encryption/decryption, that is about it. D-Wave is a unicorn, like most of the YC-HN unicorn's, just that D-Wave has been kept alive for a long time on government dole. Perhaps YC unicorn's too well be kept alive on FIAT-DOLE, but then again the investment pool of fools in SV run deep.
If the government couldn't make other charges stick, they shouldn't be in jail.

Oh, a person with a little imagination might think of many ways MS could do better with less federal interference...

As to not complaining about a possible future secession... You also think it's a federal obligation to bring the "slow parts" of the country "into the 21st century". I'll venture that anyone who makes that sort of mental investment in pharisaic priggishness has more to lose, ego-wise, if the "slow parts" do better outside the union than inside.
I complained to Wells Fargo last year that they shouldn't be storing user passwords. Their response was to not worry about it because they are the ones responsible for fraud.

Income tax on companies. That's income that would possibly lead to capital creation/accumulation - and was redirected to other uses by the centralized decision making of the government. I think that counts as "means of production the state has forcefully taken in Sweden".

Well, this is the Baltic Sea we're talking about. The average European tourist wanting sea and sun prefers the Mediterranean (i.e. Spain, Greece, Italy, Cyprus, Turkey, ..) -- considerably warmer, plus cheaper/easier to get to for most people. For Germans there are plenty of other seaside resorts in the country. (Europe is only crowded in some places: large parts are not at all crowded - or even inhabited...)

Actually, though the article's summary claimed to find no noticeable change, the section on taxes says:

Coinbase told me I need to verify my residence information. I cannot start that process with funds in my account (0.01e), I cannot move a sum that small away from Coinbase, or buy BTC for just 0.01e.

I complained about this to customer service, and got a canned reply saying I need to empty my wallet to proceed.

A lot of companies are guilty of the same sins, having weird catch-22 glitches on the platform and customer service that wants to close tickets, not help customers, but if Coinbase seriously wants to handle my money, they need to start doing better.
XBox One is better than Nintendo 64 and it's not just a 'feel good thing'.

Tomatoes that you can buy - any time of year - instead of just when they are 'in season' is a material thing, not a fantasy improvement.

Likely this is part of why this group was created. They were probably getting tired of Apple trying to ride on everyone's hard work without giving anything back.
Apple makes great stuff (typing this on a Mac), but I really don't get the adoration / mystic that surrounds them.

Those features have been on Android forever, but people don't call it "AI".
Frankly, "extreme left" seems far off. But I also find personally that whatever "left" and "right" mean nowadays cannot be extrapolated past 20 years or so. Prior to the 20th century, otherwise "right-wing" governments were perfectly comfortable with pursing interventionist policies, because "right-wing" back then meant pretty much "whatever will keep the monarch in power", and entailed a respect for tradition. Bismarck, for example, didn't see any problem in creating the first social welfare system in the world so long as it politically undermined the socialists and it made the monarchy popular [0]. The overwhelmingly mercantilist policies of the Ancien Régime, seeking to impose price regulations in order to improve it's trade balance or to keep the monarch popular (one of the possible causes of the French Revolution was the havoc created by the deregulation of the grain market by the classical liberal Turgot [1]), is another example. It's only during the 20th century that the left-right distinction seems to have mapped itself onto overwhelmingly economic rather than cultural issues.

The latitude also means that in January, the sun rises at 10 AM, and it starts getting dark around 3 PM.

It's pretty demoralizing to go to work and leave work in complete darkness for days on end.

Meanwhile, the rain alternates between actual rain and misting constantly from September until May.

All these are examples of claims that are misleading because they're misleading, not because of who is making the claim. You can of course read the claims made by the article with a more critical eye, but identifying the author doesn't automagically lift the responsibility of coming up with a refutation.
It amazes me they have 1,700 services. It would be hilarious satire to actually see the description of each. And the debugging scenarios he listed make it sound like they have very poor engineers working for them. Who on earth lets an application get to prod that iterates through a list of items and makes a request for each thing?

When did we loose our heads and think such an architecture is sane? The UNIX philosophy is do one thing and do it well, but that doesn't mean be foolish about the size of one said thing. Doing one thing means solving a problem, and limited the scope of said problem so as to have a cap on cognitive overhead, not having a notch in your "I have a service belt".

We don't see the LS command divided into 50 separate commands and git repo's.....
I was responding to the parent.

> The data so far provide little support for the strong claims about legalization made by either opponents or supporters.

Many supporters, like myself, don't need data. It's wrong to put people in jail and fine them without reason. If there are no significant changes after legalization, then prohibition should be ended. There's no clear benefit to society and enforcement clearly harms the individuals impacted by these laws.
How is authy a joke? I have to enter my backup password even after I auth with my phone number on a new phone (same number).
I was similarly stunned that North Korea was democratic.

By typical definitions, the Nazis were not "extreme left". "Socialist" in the name preceded a dramatic shift in values (and of course they were very specifically anti-communist).

FWIW, Wikipedia refers to them as "far right".
I just gotta say, both you and the parent poster made a really cool thing that I just found out about from these posts, and I will definitely be using both.

Thanks!

Ya, but at some point that turns wikipedia into encarta. The power of wiki is the ability for the crowd's opinion to dominate. But where the crowd is just plain wrong on a subject the expert must swim again against the tide. They end up lecturing to a bunch of people who really don't want a lecture.

Say "I'm a fighter pilot" and you can edit the F-15's page to your hearts content. But "I'm a lawyer with 40 years constitutional law experience" means nothing if you plan on contributing to anything on the "landmark decisions" list. That is the domain of law review students and their pet cases.

I cannot count the number of times I've found myself typing out half a lecture's worth of information in reply to an online article, only to delete the entire thing before posting it. Certain subjects just cannot be taught in a public forum. That's why lawyers discuss such things in special schools and private email lists. (Email lists are like 90+% of what the ABA does.)
> What distributor of software ever charged 50%? Retailers of CD-ROM games (when they were a thing) and video games do not charge that kind of markup.

The mobile carriers often charged upwards of that rate to game publishers.
Surgery in general usually makes patient worse, insurance company's know this, they would rather cash-out a claimant early then pay for a claimant to recover post-surgery.

Expert surgeons, in their eyes the cure for every common cold is 'surgery', like we used to say in UNIX, "If your only tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail"

A few years ago, in Bend, Oregon at the only Hospital they had the high rate of un-needed back surgery's in the country, upon close inspection it was because all the high-paid back surgeons chose to live there, just about everybody who went to 'st-charles' for anything left dead or in debt from 'back surgery'. The insurance company's finally put an end to it, but it took over ten years, as the AMA also owns the legislature in Salem-OR ( capital of state ).

In summary NEVER go to a doctor, you will die, and if they talk surgery, run like hell.

First employees have an excellent vantage point to the growth of the company, and are bound to learn tons about running a company.

I would gladly raise from someone who's gone through the gauntlet, as opposed to someone who won the birth lottery and is investing money from the bank of mom and dad.
I absolutely agree. But I also think those people will find themselves in jail even in the absence of federal drug laws. Seems to be how things work, as we have given federal prosecutors far too many tools to work with.
Here is my claim in precise terms: superposition of all combinatorial states is a very non-classical state. Preparing such a state is still an active area of research, and nobody has yet made one in a usable fashion. The D-wave device does not have a superposition of states, rather it is tracking a single classical state as far as I know. No need for harsh language in your response.

Edit: removed an incorrect remark about entanglement.

>Some of these people are unable to be vaccinated

I don't know how the count of these "unvaccinatable" people compares to those who suffer adverse reactions from vaccines, but it grows even stranger to demand that everyone assume risk for even smaller segments of the population; especially if the primary argument is a common welfare numbers game.

BTW, FWIW, some pretty heinous activities have been conducted in the name of the common welfare, including human experimentation. I'm obviously not saying this is happening here; only that "because common welfare" is not an ipso facto rationale. We've all benefitted from experiments, etc. at the expense of others. But, we later acknowledged that some of these things were completely unethical because, at some point, the rights of the individual trump even the common welfare.

Anyway, clearly the government has decided. My question was who should decide?

More specifically, I was speaking to the parent comment's acknowledgement that some discrimination among vaccines is prudent. At the same time, the commenter expressed anger over parents opting out of vaccines. Well, if discrimination is warranted but the commenter is angry about someone else's manner of discrimination, then that boils down to the commenter believing he/she should be the one who decides.

Again, I believe vaccines are generally beneficial, however, I also believe it's wrong to berate parents who don't blindly follow the vaccine schedule. The relatively low percentages of serious adverse reactions are little comfort when you're the one who is impacted. I'm just not prepared to demand that someone else do anything to their bodies for my sake, at any risk to him/her.

Iunno, Ebay likes to print in every email and invoice that I'm dealing with their Swiss subsidiary, even though I'm in Canada. I'm sure it's for tax purposes.
> It reminds me of the people calling the nordic countries "socialist" (remind me which means of production the state has forcefully taken in Sweden). Words have meaning, and bastardizing them annoys me.

Words have meaning, and they also evolve. You'll have a much easier time understanding others' meaning and communicating with them in kind if you recognize that in many contexts:

- Social democracy has largely been associated with the word socialism.

- Communism has largely been associated with the word socialism. (Side-note: this is the association you appear to be making; many communists would wholesale reject the notion of the state seizing the means of production, or for that matter the notion of the state as a legitimate institution.)

- Communism basically doesn't exist in the broader vocabulary, except as an historical marker for the Soviet Union, and a geopolitical classification of countries like China or Cuba; to the extent it can be associated with any word today, it's anarchism and only among self-identifying anarchists.

- Anarchism has always been aligned with communism except in terms of the question of the state.

- Big-L Libertarians are largely an ideological faction of the right-wing/Republicans.

- Democrats and Republicans occupy a narrow spectrum of corporatism (though that is increasingly expanding rightward).

- Small-l libertarians are more frequently associated with the word anarchism, which is resented by pretty much everyone who cares.

(Full disclosure since at least my clarity if not my characterization displays a bias: I am an anarchist, of the communist variety, and I tend to view social democracy as harm reduction.)

Capitol Hill is the absolute trendiest part of town. A lot of people live on the north or west sides of town. Some friends of mine split a house for $500 a piece about a single 30-45 minute bus ride from their office downtown.
Reminds me of the Mesos Unified Containerizer. Very good stuff. The docker client is wonderful for developers, but the docker engine is the bane of operations. The bugs in it are not fun. My favorite one was in docker 1.6.0. When you did:

docker exec -it $container bash

It caused a Nil pointer dereference and crashed the daemon. All of the other running containers then would die as a result.

Awesome.
> Is there some secondary layer of code-signing/validation that happens? Is the image host always within the local network and the connection assumed trustworthy?

some more information: basically most of the these routers etc. are 'chassis' based e.g. asr-5k is a 14u (iirc) device. depending on architecture, these generally have a bunch cards which end up doing most of the work e.g. session processing, forwarding traffic, running your routing protocols etc. etc. most of the session-processing cards don't really have any non-volatile storage media.

ok, now, two of these (for redundancy purposes) are management cards. these cards are not involved in any session processing, and provide 'shell' access to the device. these are generally used to configure the device, run diagnostics etc. etc. management cards have non-volatile storage media, which end up storing various boot images.

now, when a chassis is powered on, management cards are booted up first, using one of the stored images (depending on configuration). other cards (non-management) get their boot images over an internal network via http (e.g. in case of asr-5k).

tldr-mode: yes, the 'network' is trustworthy, and images are present locally (in most of the cases). though it is possible to boot management cards (if your read the above longish explanation) via images over tftp/scp etc. which can be as secure / insecure as you want :)

edit-001: lemme know if you need some more information, and i can see how i can make things clearer.
To be fair, I'm guessing most of the hard line conservatives advocating mass deportation actually don't smoke pot at all.
I consider myself rather smart, but I'm really dumb when it comes to audio software. DAWs especially so. I got reaper, went through their tutorials and I was mixing and mastering for broadcast stereo output, from 0-100, in about a week. I even dabbled with some music ideas and things like that and it's as easy as anything. I've tried Nuendo and ProTools at work, but it was overwhelming (or I was too lazy). Only other DAW that I liked was Digital Performer, but its font rendering on Windows rendered it unusable. I couldn't read anything in the UI.

Much of what makes "silicon valley work" is exactly this - people who grew up in Middle America and who have low time preferences managed to get a good education.

They are then misled by the spirit of the times into coming to the coasts and largely working for less than a market-clearing wage. Generally they do this because they think they will "make a difference" or "get a fat paycheck when the equity comes in".

Looked at this way, it seems that silicon valley is an engine running on fumes. Eventually employees with skills will demand market clearing wages.
Still, you can't find anytime in history where we ended up saying "thanks we were careful" related to new technoloies. It's usually the reverse, governments delaying change for not smart reasons.
If you like the outdoors, Seattle and the whole pacific northwest is the best place for hiking and weekend trips in general in my opinion. You have snowy mountains, temperate rainforests, ocean beaches, amazing car ferries, Vancouver and Portland all within a couple hours away by car. The winter is extremely mild compared to almost every other place in the northern US. University district, capitol hill, fremont, and lots of other seattle neighborhoods are really great. The salary sounds good to me, I would think you would be able to put down a bunch towards savings, living expenses are somewhat elevated in Seattle but not like NYC or SF.

A big part of how they sell those machines is indeed PR, and this annoys a lot of quantum information researchers. My guess is that those who buy their machines are just trying to cover all their bases. I do have to concede that their hardware is an interesting exercise in engineering, but nothing more.

Hough lines/RANSAC are definitely on the same level of ad-hoc sophistication as Canny edges (in fact, Canny edges are often done as a preprocessing step for the voting scheme used by the candidate Hough lines).

Take a look at Figure 12 for an exemplary look at its failure cases -- cases that are much less forgiving than the aforementioned Palo Alto stretch 101 lane markings.
Really cool and interesting. Looks like deep learning and AI is going to make some significant strides in the tech industry. I read somewhere that there is still a lack of professionals to expedite the adoption in the wild. What additional skills are required by your regular full stack software engineer to be useful for a deep learning company? I know there are courses out there but I am not sure if they are too academic. Are there specific technologies that one should be playing with?
