I think the UBI is a really short ride to hell for society. Time and energy put into discussing or developing the idea take away from a more vital, less popular and harder to solve problem: The lack of decent affordable housing, which is a huge and growing crisis in the US and has been for literally decades.

I have written multiple pieces as to why I think UBI is a terrible idea. Here are two that I think are particularly pertinent to your remarks:

This was a nice product for its time (best character-based GUI I have worked with), but it surprised me tremendously that it is still for sale, and that it has seen several releases after Ashton Tate sold it.
You're completely missing the point. Publications show bias all the time based on what factual information they report (or don't report). Look at CNN.com right. Literally nothing about the new wikileaks that came out today, even in a factual manner. Plenty of opinionated anti-Trump garbage.

This is what your parent comment was referring to.
The eye-opener for me was the movie Her. That take on personal assistants was amazing, but it seemed to have with it the assumption of personal privacy between you and the assistant, and unbridled access to ALL of your data.

So a good exercise is to rewatch that movie, and in each scene where the assistant does something useful or cool, take a moment to reflect on what sort of data they would need access to, and how that data might be used.

I think where things get murky is that the movie didn't really touch on the company behind it at all, and if anything it almost gave the impression of being more like Apple than Google. As such, it neatly skirted today's concerns where the clear leader in the space (Google), is an advertising company that monetizes it's users' data and is constantly raising privacy concerns.

It is a fine line to walk, but ultimately everyone will need to weigh the decision in their mind as to the right balance of privacy and convenience.
POLLING IS BULLSHIT.

> The article says "focusing", but they were probably used to get more precise orbital elements for satellites. This was pre-GPS, and calibration across geography on a planetary scale was tough.

My guess is that they served a function for calibrating ground control points rather than orbital elements. Even today, NORAD publishes orbital elements (TLEs) for spacecraft deduced by radar (and also optical means). I think other radio ranging techniques were also used before GPS. Trying to point at Earth-fixed point with only an inertial attitude (without a position/velocity) seems really tough.

Today, lots of CubeSats don't have GPS, so they eagerly await getting TLEs from NORAD. It seems like this Twitter is always the first with new data:

What is it about American cars[1] and tiny rear view windows? I once got a Ford Fusion rental in the US; I was surprised how little I could see of what was behind me.

I have never had the same issue with European/Japanese vehicles.

It's not anytime soon that musl will replace libc.
Because the smartphone software is being continuously iterated and is critically evaluated by a billion people on a daily basis.

The car software was customized for that particular vehicle's combination of knobs and buttons, will be a check-box on the feature list, doesn't have any alternatives (except the phone) once you've bought the car, is lacking real-time traffic and constant map updates, was designed five years ago, was sold from a tier-two supplier to a committee at a tier-one, who sold the whole instrumentation package to an OEM, is burdened by safety and legal requirements (the vehicle must be in park, because you can't know whether it's the driver or the passenger doing the programming) ...

The problems are numerous. Two things seem like a possible fix:

1. Let it hook up to your home wifi or tether to your phone. We're close to having phone data plans that can handle that in the US.
2. Provide two things: A standard set of controls (wheel, buttons, touchscreen) and an open app store. Android or iOS compatibility would be nice for developers.

Together, these would mean that even if their own developers didn't get a good solution in place, the market could fix it later.
There is a classical mechanics missing in the grad school section. One of the primary books used is by Goldstein.

I also recommend Classical Dynamics of Particles and Systems by Marion and Thornton.

As was mentioned in another post Linear Algebra is a must, and I think David Lay's book is a great one to start with.

As the author mentions, to learn physics you MUST DO PROBLEMS.

On another note I can't seem to find anyone that has mnemonic techniques for learning equations. So if anyone comes across a good method I'd like to hear it. And I'm not just talking about something like "low d high minus high d low, square the bottom and away we go". But to more complex equations, like memorize "memorize Einstein's field equation." A method that could potentially work for any arbitrary equation.

If there was a similar situation for Clinton I could see see Breitbart or Fox talking about it as proof of some Democrat conspiracy. There definitely are biases but I think this story would get traction either way.
Thanks for correcting me. The fact that I remembered the formula wrong proves that I didn't understand that formula well enough to remember it. It was been about 13 years since I didn't do any physics, and I forgot most of it, however, I remember well the math I learnt because I understood them much better.

I would guess because the in-car navigation is a relatively new thing to car companies, and largely outside the specialties they've developed.

Ask a car company to design a useful and functional suspension system, an engine, a transmisison, a brake system, and they'll have little trouble doing so. These are all things that rather fundamental to having a functional car, and the car companies have had decades to work out the various difficulties in engineering and building such things.

However, a nav system is not (yet) a hard dependancy of a functional car. As such the man hours that car companies (or their contractors) have put into their (non-essential) nav systems likely pales in comparison that Google has put into maps.

This is critical though. Nobody is complaining about the Google (which is also used by Microsoft and Mozilla) retaliation clauses.

Fair enough. If Facebook wants to make a public commitment to not use First Strike, the patent license would be acceptable. They have not, so it isn't.
I'm not the OP, but I'll give it a shot :)

The value Netflix provides is primarily convenience. There are other ways to watch movies and TV shows, the reason to use Netflix is that it's more convenient than the alternatives.

Having to deal with physical media (and wait for them to be delivered) is less convenient than other alternatives to Netflix. Therefore, it's a flaw of Netflix.
Your premise is incorrect. If the employer were to replace the employees health insurance with a product costing 50% less, the employees would not necessarily receive the former cost of the insurance as new compensation.

There may be specific individuals contracted with Hobby Lobby, but the general "employee" doesn't have any such contract.

I prefer Google to the Amazon option. Much better device support (it works on pretty much every device out there) and the overall UI is just fantastic.
I understand the desire for instant gratification, not to mention the desire to be free of the money pit called the USPS.

That being said, physical media has far superior audio and video quality. A Bluray disc vs streaming 1080p (especially a Netflix stream) is a world of difference. Streaming media is usually bit-starved to near death. If you care about quality (and you very well may not), it's the only way to fly.

If you don't mind the subpar video and audio quality, then I can understand why people use the streaming service. It's just not for me, though. I have a 49" 4k TV and a Bluray player that upscales for a reason. I don't want that swill they serve up over ethernet, lol.
I didn't know this option exists. Thanks. I enabled the option and indeed, this social media fingerprint stopped working :)

I suspect there’s a question of causality. Do people get netflix so they can binge-watch, or do they binge-watch because it’s the only thing netflix does well?
Wow. Nonsense. His whole argument is that he's sure you really don't want to print in color. Um, yes I do. And a color laser printer has an enormous cost of materials and can't print a good photo.

I agree inkjet ink is way too expensive. But that's something I can manage and more companies are introducing bulk ink systems if I'm really worried about cost.
I'm very happy building a frontend for an ERP system with Vue.js that works with the same codebase on Cordova and on web browsers.

And currently my favorite Android app is a Hacker News client written in Cordova.

Would I use it to write a game? Anything that runs in the background? Something that needs to start instantly and die instantly? No. But it's a great tool if it's paramount to keep platform support overhead to a minimum and you need to have something identical or similar running in the browser.
It's not a dumb terminal, it's a fully fledged car nav system from the car manufacturer, which also (secondary function) serves as an external screen for Android Auto/CarPlay. A dumb terminal would be dead until you connected the phone to it (and also cheaper).
> Google, Microsoft, Apple, and others have explicitly denied allowing government officials direct access to their servers

You do realize that this isn't a problem that can be solved with more money, right?

The City of SF's budget was 8.9 billion dollars FY 2015-2016[0], roughly 1.2 of which was earmarked on "human welfare and neighborhood development".

This isn't a "throw more money/resources at it and it will be fixed" type of problem.

It's a problem that needs to be restated in different terms, which requires a paradigm shift in how we view the homeless, mental illness, and addiction in the United States.

This almost seems like a case of defective by design.
The papers show large and significant effects from student quality as well, a position you described as "incoherent". The fact that teachers also have an effect doesn't change this.

If you were actually correct, and teacher quality was the primary determinant, then we could skip VAM and just use raw test scores to measure teacher quality.

I.e., if teacher A had a class of underprivileged black students while teacher B had a class of rich Asian students, and teacher B got higher test scores, that would be evidence teacher B was a better teacher. Is this actually your belief?

Ask HN: Trustworthy computer security blogs
What are some computer security blogs whose recommendations you trust and why do you trust them?

When looking for VPN services, Proxy services etc., I often encounter Top 10 lists from so called security blogs. I am more inclined to trust the top results on Google, but often I feel that I am walking straight into a honeypot. Maybe I am too paranoid about this but I feel Google might not be the right approach for this. I think community is the right approach i.e. blogs that the community trusts are more likely to be trustworthy. That's why I asked this question here.

Thanks for your responses.
I'm pretty sure that they meant "consume" as in "watch", not "consume" as in "make unavailable for further use". So, watching a movie doesn't consume it, but one does consume movies.

No, it's evil, full stop.

Facebook's patent policy means, in no uncertain terms: if you have a patent, they have a worldwide, royalty-free right to use it. Don't want to give them that? Well, until you remove all usage of Facebook's "open source" code, that's the situation.

Note: RocksDB also has this problem, which means CockroachDB is also infected. Tread carefully.

-----

Note to downvoters: No one has a problem with Apache 2-style patent-retaliation provisions. Facebook could solve this problem TODAY by switching to that.

They don't because they don't want to retaliate, they want access to unrelated patents from third-parties at zero cost, with a credible threat to damage those third-parties if they want to retain their unrelated patent rights. There's literally no other reason for Facebook to demand terms beyond Apache 2 than to do what I just described.

The Apache 2 license protects Facebook and third-parties and is 100% ethical. Facebook's patent position is not, for the reasons I've stated above. The community, IMO, should shun Facebook LOUDLY until they relent and stop this bullshit.

-----

Update 2: It's actually worse, because Facebook tends to do this bullshit on stuff like RocksDB and React which are incorporated in other software that you use to run your business.

Using a React-based dashboard widget for your ElasticSearch cluster? Good luck suing Facebook for patent-infringement, because guess what? You agreed to let them infringe by using it, even though you didn't intend to.

Facebook's patent policy requires constant policing to avoid. Like I said: EVIL.
Regus will do in a pinch; they have one on Folsom Street near Caltrain.

Don't expect it to be cheap, but they're usually not full.
They (and others like them) have spaces areawide; you may find some discounts closer to Burlingame or San Mateo, as there's slightly less demand outside the twin orbits of San Francisco and Palo Alto.

If you're bootstrapping, you should defend why you're in San Francisco to begin with. Your runway is far shorter in SF; unless what you're working on will only work if you're there in person, or you're square dancing with funders each day, focusing on working almost anywhere else in the world would be smarter.
Then how can such organizations handle other people randomly putting references to porn sites on their websites? With today's Internet being what it is, you can't assume that a request to YouPorn means someone is browsing porn at work. For all you know, the request could have been sent by an ad.

Then again, businesses in general aren't exactly paragons of intelligence either, so I wouldn't be surprised if someone made a fuss about it...
I can't believe people are still equating copyright infringement with physical theft. Didn't that tired old argument die a long time ago ? If not, why not ?

This hopefully could replace current char-rnn with something very different. Char-rnn is a long short term memory system, where recurrence in the structure of the neural network allows short-term information to persist and inform future actions. This paper almost mimics the brain's separate long and short term memory structures, and could store long-term memory separately from its main activities until needed.

> And here is the bait the switch. Now the protesters are no longer law abiding.

You mean bait & switch. It isn't--in many cases marches and protests are lawful even if they block roads. If they aren't, use muscle, batons, and shields so that the law is no longer being violated. Don't go after them afterwards.

> So you supported the Oregon protesters that occupied Federal land in protest?

Absolutely, up to the point where guns became involved.

How Microsoft Used an Office Move to Boost Collaboration
HOW is there not a better, almost 100% accurate OCR tool?

I routinely (daily) need to OCR PDF files. The PDF files are not scans. They are PDF files created from a Word file. The text is 100% clear, the lines are 100% straight, and the type is 100% uniform.

And, yet, Microsoft and Google OCR spits out gibberish that is full of critical errors.

From a problem solving perspective, this seems like an incredibly easy problem to solve in this exact use case. That is, PDFs generated from text files. Identify a uniform font size (prevent o-to-O and o-to-0 errors), identify a font-family (serif, sans-serif, narrow to particular fonts), and OCR the damn thing. And yet, the output is useless in my field.

Yes, some people won't give back. However, a project like llvm/clang, most people do give back because sharing is cool, and also it makes their job easier because they don't have to repatch for every new version of the compiler. Sony's team developing the Playstation 4 wished at times they could use newer versions of llvm/clang for their software, but couldn't because their version had so many patches [1]. Because of this, after the PS4 was released, Sony developers sent a bunch of patches upstream, and work pretty closely with the rest of the developers. Some bits and pieces may not get merged upstream, but that's the same for any project, GPL or not.
