OP here. I'm an open source contributor, not affiliated with RethinkDB Co. I've been using RethinkDB in production for years, and it has been one of the greatest blessings of my engineering career.

I am a big believer in RethinkDB and I want to see the project continue forward just like many fellow HN members have expressed in the past few days. I plan to share this with open source foundations to help spark an opportunity to help find RethinkDB a new home.

I would encourage constructive communication here. This is about the RethinkDB community working together to help the project end up in a good spot. What foundation or company is not the goal here. Saying this foundation is "good" and another is "bad" is not the goal here. The goal is to work together and make it clear we the community support and thank the RethinkDB team for all of their hard work.
Can you not make a "tropical Zn" with elements 0 - (M-1), and a "big" element, representing anything M or larger, including infinite values?

I dont know that it would be exactly analogous to normal Z[M+1], and might have useful properties for some kind of geometric or combinatorical modeling. (My hunch is any time you want to be capable of carrying a "crossed threshold" flag as well as a value, and have that cascade through calculation.)

It would also model systems where you can get to infinity in finite steps, but can't traverse back. Not sure if those are useful in the abstract, though.
Sorry, I didn't express myself correctly. I meant this chrome app[1] in the apple store. I was wondering if people with iPhones can at least install a different browser to take advantage of those features. But if you say that it's just a skin they are pretty much trapped there.

Nice list but you are missing my favourite:

http://www.rpscontest.com/ is a rock paper scissor competition. All contestants are readable; very fascinating stuff.

More general: labeled foods (at least with a barcode or name and other interesting data) and a camera.
>aka I know how much 50 pounds of clay weighs

Does it not weigh 50 pounds??
Also relevant is the fact that Uribe and his family have longstanding ties to the criminal groups that control the drug trade (as well as extortion, illegal gold mining, and human trafficking.) From Escobar to the AUC to the BACRIM who have filled in the vacuum most recently.

Some enlightening/depressing background for context: http://www.insightcrime.org/investigations/bacrim-and-their-...

Lost in most of the US/European coverage is the huge threat the peace process represents to the Colombian political elite: when guns are put down, eventually their long history of collaboration with criminals will come to light. (E.g. in August Uribe's niece and her mother were extradited...)

Sadly, the corruption runs very, very deep and it goes straight to the top.

I fully supported the Yes vote (I'm not Colombian) but I also recognize that the government vs. FARC battle is only one front in a much larger war under which the Colombian people continue to suffer.
Speccing this could never have gotten us an open source implementation. The spec was for the API, the blobs would still be licensed and proprietary.

If you have an open source DRM module then the DRM can be circumvented by an open source program, which is sort of against the point of the DRM.

"There isn't much demand for a similar tool for Java..."

What empirical evidence do you have for this?

At one point I looked very hard for good Java tools for Unix and/or Emacs, and found nothing. I imagine many others have done similar investigations and came up empty.

So I think its an open question whether Java refactoring tools for Unix don't exist because there is no demand, or whether there are engineering and productivity reasons why such tools work better as part of an IDE.

(I will say, though, the existence of similar command line tools for Go indicate similar tools might be possible for Java, also. Or maybe this is just due to Go being designed to be easy to parse?)
Well this should be easy. Their metric (html5test.com) gives points for things utterly unrelated to HTML or web standards like WebP support. Apple just needs to convince them to start giving out points for wide color gamuts and proper tail calls in JavaScript. Hell, those two even are standards, which makes them nearly as relevant to what most web developers care about as Google's fiat.
What Is AIXI? – An Introduction to General Reinforcement Learning
Looking through the list of features that iOS Safari doesn't support, I am happy that Apple doesn't blindly implement these features. I think a lot of these present tricky user experience issues (fullscreen support, notifications, background, file system api) and can be abused by websites. (I am also noticing a lot of these are still proposals and experimental features.)
Originally "data scientist" meant a statistician who could write distributed systems to implement their algorithm in production.

Now that the term is diluted, I propose we use adopt the banking industry term "quant developer" to refer to that.
I think it'd be nice if the tox.chat domain would link to just one tox client implementation in the downloads section.
As someone shooting for a 'Data Janitor' (or what I think of as a digital plumber) position upon graduation, It would be cool to speak to the Data Scientists in their own language and understand what the hell they mean when they mention higher dimensional vectors, etc. But I'd much rather leave the high math to an expert and they leave the plumbing to me!
OP's cert includes the Certificate Authority Information Access extension. Safari and Chrome both used this to get the full chain for me.
It's not really enterprise unless it's hooked into a corporate authentication system with policy controls and management capabilities. I'm puzzled why this isn't attached to Office365 for those reasons. The marketing page for it says that it's for companies, but the whole thing makes my inner MS admin twitch: self-sign up with no mention of SSO, docs are pitched as if it's a consumer product with no administrative features. There's no fee or obvious cross-sell, which means that Microsoft are just burning money right now for no obvious gain, which is uncharacteristic of them - they usually provide free stuff that promotes actual paid-for products.
There's already a few popular services that do password management i.e. LastPass & 1password. Unless you are describing something different?
Which is surprising tbh given Apple's rules and actions.
thanks for writing that, now it's obvious you've never touched any frontend code
Anywhere but Apache please!

This product is forward thinking and edgy, not ready to die.
An Intuitive Explanation of Solomonoff Induction
Location: Portugal

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: JavaScript, Node.js, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Redis,
React, Redux, Cordova/Phonegap

Résumé/CV: upon request

Email: rfpquelhas at gmail.com

Github: https://github.com/ruiquelhas

My name is Rui Quelhas, I'm a 29 year old software developer from Portugal. I have a computer
engineering degree and a masters in computer networks. I've been part of the software industry since 2010
and worked on a few different projects in markets such as Social Media, IoT, Consumer-internet/SaaS and
Fintech/cryptocurrencies.

Lately, I've been working mostly as backend engineer and worked on (and lead) a few biggish Node.js
projects (API, 3rd-party integrations and that kind of stuff).

I'm currently looking for other challenges in the same spectrum, particularly remote positions.
Their financial statements are pretty clear. Hardware is highly lucrative. Services, like the app store, are only recently consistently profitable. They definitely wouldn't intentionally make their devices less desirable to customers to increase service revenue.
I'm not saying it's not; I'm asking whether the relatively arbitrary line as it is currently drawn makes sense, and how hard we should all be wringing our hands about schools not preparing our children for the real world slash intruding on traditional family tasks or whatever.
Obviously it looks very different today, but if they had made such an agreement, would things like the Linux sunsystem in Windows 10 or the older Windows Services for UNIX not be a problem?
Actually, very different from Microsoft.

Apple has plenty of competition and the mobile web has not stalled.
> So's all of capitalism - what is employment but the buying of somebody's body and mind? But I don't see people like you arguing towards the end of that

This isn't germane to the issue, which is that purchasing sex is a reprehensible act. However, there is indeed a strong strain of anti-capitalist thought in radical feminism; it surprises me that you don't know this.

> Also, I assume you don't actually mean bodies, as that would imply you're similarly against non-sexual modelling, acting, etc etc, where people employ people directly for their bodies, to varying degrees.

I meant literally their bodies, not images of their bodies, or actions that their bodies perform. I meant direct access to their mouths, rectums, vaginas for the purpose of sexual gratification. I suppose if purchasing that kind of access had other purposes besides sexual gratification, "sex" wouldn't seem like such a special case.
You should probably reach out to RethinkDB and coordinate with them, I'm sure they have plans to keep it going somehow.
Sounds great!

We also grow hops and apples.
It may surprise less of us than you think ;)
No the story, is bullshit.
You will get charged the first 250$, after that it will be increased to 500$. And only upped once the payment is complete.
This continues for a few more steps.
So you can't spend 100K on a new account.
This entire story just sounds like pure BS.
Google has a LOT of stuff against fraud, especially on it ads business. As it's the core ...
I feel like "You as a company must allow your products to run X software" is a terrible, terrible precedent to set.
and google
this is a crazy insulting comment
Now this is growth hacking.
It's not about successful communication, it's about how you present an entire group of people. Using the term "the blacks" or "Blacks" makes you sound like Archie Bunker, dude. Negative social signal.
For the depression part - you might want to look for a therapy. It's not a shame and it might improve quality of your life. Therapist will help you find out the core reason standing behind your depression and will help you to make it let go.

Apart from that - if you are technically gifted and you `are always right` with your ideas just try to get somebody who will do `small talk` part for you and get them on board as co-founder. The best solution is to find somebody like that in your nearest circles (friend you already know long enough) - so you will suffer each other for long enough for the idea to kick in :-)
>as well as where to live

Those very same companies offer remote work increasingly, as they struggle to find talent in the aforementioned field.
I honestly think that the latest iOS safari has really good html5 support and very fast JavaScript. Including support for things such as web workers.
That is certainly a human interest.
Node went to the Linux Foundation which seems to have worked well for the last couple of years.
"Build natively" means to create it yourself in vanilla JavaScript, like this http://meandmax.github.io/lory/. What's the use of a native element that only one browser has when you need cross browser support anyway?
It doesn't seem possible that 5000(!) employees did this and the CEO had not a clue.
Update X.Org Libraries to Avoid Privilege Escalation and DoS Attacks
I've read one or two of his books.

I'm tentatively a fan. I need to dig in deeper.
And literally thousands and thousands of current and former sex workers agree. They have conferences, and industry groups, they lobby Governments, they have systems by which they can ensure the safety of themselves and each other and pick out their own clients. This isn't the situation of somebody who was trafficked half-way across the world and forced into sex slavery.

The solution is not to make sex work illegal, or to make seeking it illegal. It's to help the people who don't want to be performing sex work. It's to give them food, and shelter, and training to re-enter the job market. But that's expensive, and it's difficult to explain to people with Christian moralities about sex why you'd allow people to perform sex work if they wanted to.
Thanks, many good tips! I'm also doing Yoga daily. Helps me especially, because my work as developer involves lots of sitting. Still I have almost no backache by doing simple, time effective exercises. And you can look everything up on Youtube.
Same here, now I'm a disciple of http://spacemacs.org/
I've spoken to Mike. This is my gift to him, Slava, and the rest of the RethinkDB team for all of their hard work. The community is behind them, we're not going to let this project go anywhere!
Been attending HNLondon for several years now. IMO its success is down to Steve and Dmitri's efforts to source speakers that cover diverse topics, are not salesy, and are often completely and unexpectedly inspirational.

They avoid the overly polished and sometimes sanctimonious TED style. HNLondon feels like an authentic event put together by true technologists for technologists.

Free craft beer and pizza also sweetens the deal :-)
Exactly, the sports star/actor arugement is nonsensical. As far as I know the NFL is very profitable. Those players create tons of value.
But also extremely accurate.
We have one server with them as VIP and very happy about it, they react fast on support with a special team dedicated... we asked a quote for this server and they proposed several solutions.
Maybe in 5-10 years I'll consider taking a look at containers. Currently, they are a fad not much unlike React.
I don't really understand the reference, but despite the spot she was in when she started she obviously have done some bad shit right from the get go. Like banning remote work and now this.

Then there is no seeming investment in the stuff Yahoo! is good at which is simply weird.
I was surprised to see so little attention paid to regression. Regression is quite powerful and is a powerful thing in a DS's toolkit.

For example:
- What is the distribution of the residuals, how does it change over time as data comes in. How Gaussian they are(or not), analyzing weird/oddities especially around the tails
- What kind of features offer the most significant signal to the model and which ones are not.

These skills are even applicable to SVM and other classification analysis.
So should pornography be illegal in your opinion?

How are drug trial not a form of "rape"? They are not sexual, but you are exposing your body to potential damage in exchange for money. I really don't see how that's different than prostitution, in fact I'll argue that it is worse (we can make prostition less risky, we cannot eliminate risk from drug trial).

Some people absolutely have been getting married to be able to get out of poverty, and in my book this is worse than prostitution in the sense that not only do those people have to have sex with their " client", but they also have to live with them and probably do other work such has cleaning and cooking. At least with prostitution, the contract is clearer, there are negotiated limits on what is provided for the money. I'll argue that if society had less hangups about prostitution, they'd be less of those economical marriages.

If you think that drug trial for money is more acceptable than sex for money, I think you should have a little introspection about your attitude towards sex.
Snapchat Parent Working on IPO Valuing Firm at $25B
This has been the #1 reason that I havent convinced people to use tox yet.

I sometimes get up and walk away from a computer mid conversation, expecting to continue the conversation on my phone. It's the same reason I won't be using google allo. I need conversations to "sync" across mobile and PC.

I'm not going to sit at a desk all day chatting on my phone, and I'm not going to miss messages just because I went mobile.

I saw somewhere in a previous tox chat, that a possible solution would be a way to pin identities together (i say from desktop "this mobile is me" and from mobile "this desktop is me" and when they match, allow them to pair). And then send every message encrypted to both peers. If you have 5 devices linked, tox would behind the scenes send the message to 5 different destinations.

They havent done anything like this yet as far as I know.
Flash Crash of the Pound Baffles Traders with Algorithms Being Blamed
Yahoo and Twitter have been getting torn apart the past few weeks, coincidentally when they are selling. Probably a little bit of column A and column B.
By 1982 there was the second-generation Pocket Computer, with the optional 4-color printer/plotter and the RS-232 ("COM Port") interface so I could also connect to an acoustic coupler telephone modem, then use any dial or touch-tone telephone to connect to time-sharing services.

This all fit into a carrying case not much smaller than a regular laptop these days.

The Standard API Petroleum Measurement Tables had been recently reapproved in 1980, for the first time as a computer routine rather than hardcopy handbooks of 83,000 entries each.
This was a specific standard computer program, about 2K of Fortran77 32-bit mainframe floating-point code which had been jointly adopted by API & ASTM complete consensus.
That much text would not fit into the Pocket Computer anyway.
To get the 4-bit Pocket computer functional as a replacement for the handbook, I had to ditch the floating point, not use the exact algorithms the table was based on in any recognizable way, and come up with a bit-saving scheme not unlike the UNUMs of Gustafson[0] which have been discussed here. Each byte of memory was economized.

Carrying it while boarding tankers and barges back then, I would guess that pretty much turns out to be the first laptop on the Ship Channel.

Now everybody's got a laptop and it's no big deal.

Thanks for the clarification. Much clearer now.
14 nm is just a name at this point, as discussed in this public available article:

"Between the ill-defined naming of new process nodes across the entire industry and Intel’s continuing lead in semiconductor manufacturing, Intel likes to point out how their manufacturing nodes compare to foundry competitors such as TSMC and the IBM alliance. Citing 3rd party journal articles for comparison, Intel claims that along with their typical lead in rolling out new nodes, as of the 14nm node they are going to have a multiple generation technical advantage. They expect that their 14nm node will offer significantly smaller feature sizes than competing 14nm nodes, allowing them to maintain consistent logic area scaling at a time when their competitors (i.e. TSMC) cannot."

It seems that Linux distros are now releasing fixes:

- Debian is prevalently not vulnerable: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2016-7117 (except the "oldstable" release)

- for Ubuntu, the situation is more complicated, as it depends on the actual kernel package installed: https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2016/CVE-2... For the "linux" kernel package (prob the most common), the situation looks like this at the moment::

Upstream:	released (4.6~rc1)
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin):	needed
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr):	released (3.13.0-86.130)
Ubuntu Touch 15.04:	DNE
Ubuntu Core 15.04:	pending (3.19.0-59.65)
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus):	released (4.4.0-22.39)
Ubuntu 16.10 (Yakkety Yak):	not-affected (4.4.0-22.39)

- for CentOS/RHEL, my understanding is that fixed kernels have not yet been released: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2016-7117
No you don't get it. When men get their jobs its because of their hard work and abilities. When women get jobs its because of mass discrimination against males!

Mobile safari was literally one of the reasons we decided to build an app instead of just having a mobile optimized website. So if that's they're strategy, it's working. Though it is a free app so it's not working _that_ well.
That would be a very useful separation. Unfortunately, job listings and titles used in industry do not separate themselves nearly so cleanly as that. I managed a "data science" team for a few years; nearly all our work is analysis. We still would call ourselves "data scientists" because it elevates our prestige within the company, which makes our results more respected and listened-to. It's a political thing, and it also helps in hiring.
I was about to say the same. I think Apache is more suitable for Java ecosystem components than more fundamental things like programing languages(Rust/Go etc) or databases.
Curious about the circumstance in which the choice is being made.
In a lot of ways, you're not wrong. I am a huge VR enthusiast and I admit that it's been more than once I've said to myself "Man, I really want to play VR but I just want to sit down" after a long day at work.

Thankfully, for these cases, I've got EVE: Valkyrie, which is a sit-down experience. Looking around is required as you are flying a ship in 6-degrees-of-freedom.

I'm not sure what the solution is.
How to reduce video surveillance system costs
How would we distinguish this from true performance-based reviews? The question has to be asked, because when its the other way around, we defend it as normal. But this way it has to be rigged? Isn't it perfectly possible that a true objective management review would find many women to be competent? More competent than most men? Why not? Just because 'men usually win' in this context? Because its ok when men are in charge and promote mostly men? That's just 'business as usual'.
Sounds like high school teachers who refuse to give a perfect 100 because "nobody is perfect".
I'm actually considering this myself now that you mention it, since I suffer from acid reflux as well.

Chewing gum greatly reduces the amount of antacids I need to consume. The other thing that really surprised me was my low-carb diet further reduced antacid use to almost zero. For a month after my low-carb diet, I didn't even think to take a single antacid.
Then how does this spread around to all the branches if (way) upper management doesn't know? Does Suzy in Fl really spend her time chatting up Jackie in CA to get the scoop on all the D/L ways to cheat? They have a little IRC channel for duping WF management?
...but when men are in the 80%, that's a statistic you can believe?
I see where I was talking about myself... I don't see the generalization to the other people though... that would appear to be in your head alone.
> However, there is indeed a strong strain of anti-capitalist thought in radical feminism; it surprises me that you don't know this.

I moderate a handful of self-titled "social justice warrior" chatrooms, which are full of everyone from libertarian socialists to anarcho-communists. I'm reasonably aware of various strands of feminism. I've been having a discussion on the morality of sex work for much of today.

Sex work is immoral for the same reasons other work is immoral. It's not a special case, and shouldn't really be treated much differently. If you want to protect the sex worker from the necessity of performing their work, you should be similarly protecting the minimum wage retail clerk from the necessity of performing their work. Neither is worse than the other, and they have similar solutions.
