Where did I say "above criticism" and what does "obedience" have to do with this? (Is Mr. Cunningham bossing you around?)

The attitude that actually is unhealthy is when someone graciously provides a service to the community for years, and then stops doing that, and people whine as though they are entitled to the continuation of that service.

Respect in cases like this should mean to appreciate the work done to keep the thing running until now, and if someone decides to stop doing that work, respect that choice, even if you don't understand it or agree with it.

Of course there are "double entendres" in French.

They can take the form of "sous-entendus" where the same sentence can be interpreted differently depending on the level of knowledge of the listeners for a particular context.

Play-on-words are also widespread, including the "contrepèterie" art form unique to French.

Various form of "argot" (slang) also use identical words bearing different meanings.

All of these are a big part of our second and third degree humour that elude so many foreigners.

This journalist from the BBC does not seem to be much aware of French culture at all.
I've seen this study before from another source, and it seemed pretty clear the answer was "Savings Account", as opposed to checking account or investments.

If that's the case here, then this is a beyond-vapid statistic. Savings accounts are worthless. $1000 in my savings account will, after ten years, earn me $5 in interest.

I think even better would be to stripe all data across a bunch of regions.
I agree strongly with the idea of diving in.

The problem with diving into neural networks is that they are slow to train (with large amounts of data anyway), and difficult to debug. This means it isn't really a great place to start.
This leads naurally into my next question: do you hate everyone, just software engineers, or just idiots?

Image data takes on noise/damage when it's compressed, during things like saving and uploading to the web. When you turn that noise way up, it should be even overall. When it's wildly mismatched, it indicates pieces have been chopped in, like when a crappy voiceover has a word that's obviously wrong.

Note the sharp difference surrounding the in-focus drone's text, compared to the background drones, whose signs have a much higher level of consistency across the pages they're carrying.

It's not just poor people. If it really is the case that 70% of Americans have no significant savings, then we're talking about a whole lot of people above the median income, not all of whom have unusual situations requiring them to spend everything they earn.
Somewhat off topic - has anyone used a desk bicycle (pedals) or treadmill for a significant period of time? Being able to do that for an hour every workday would be an amazing health improvement basically for free (in terms of time), but I have difficulty imagining anybody sticking to it.

My personal favourite is sportsmenki which means female athletes. The corresponding word for male athletes is sportsmeny and the singular for a male athlete is sportsmen.
Um, off-topic but you might be making poor life choices here.

First of all we're in the middle of a boom cycle and any competent engineer (which I assume you are) can get a six-figure salary WITH equity at even the earliest-stage funded startups.

Second, your chances of making it big on equity alone are pitifully small. The expected returns on startup equity is less than the salary cut you take when compared with the stable job at Big Co. The median return is zero.

If you were bootstrapping your own startup with only ramen profitability, I would have mad respect for you. But you say you aren't even working on your own startup right now. Wherever you are working you are likely very underpaid for what you are doing.

Well, yes. With that, we can inplement most of the TIS-100 instruction set fairly easily. We may have to exclude JRO, the NIL psudoport, and restrict the use of labels, but it would be fairly complete. Better yet, these restrictions are totally undocumented, so programmers will have to either work with the primitives or cross their fingers that their code will compile each day.
They didn't for vast majority of problems in open or closed source software. It was black hats or security researchers digging around with intent to use, sell, or fix it. A tiny, tiny subset of people who can code in or read assembly.

What you and other assembly verification supporters are proposing is an assembly version of the many eyeballs hypothesis. The idea that many people that are qualified could see it means they thoroughly analyzed it in a way that implied actual security results. I see little to no evidence of that. Actually, I see the opposite where malware hits binary systems in many ways that were easily preventable at source or assembly. That assumption means I don't trust the claim that assembly being verifiable means that it was likely verified. More like stockpiled into a 0-day collection.

You also can't trust something to be correct, reliable, and secure with assembly or binary alone. If you could, high-assurance field would be all over that. Instead, the evidence indicated the source... esp if requirements were encoded as formal policy... had more information to work with to analyze potential compromises and information leaks. A lot gets lost in producing assembly. So, they instead analyze source for correctness in all states of execution for various properties then verify that assembly does same thing with some proof supplied to evaluators and/or customers. Much more trustworthy. Also almost non-existent for proprietary or FOSS software.
Japanese word for "blue" is apparently "boo-roo"

“The Japanese language has no exact word for the color blue. The term the Japanese use, ao, is ambiguous – best translated as blue-green. Ao has the connotations of immaturity and inexperience that the English word green has. When the Japanese wish to be exact – when describing the color of Siamese cats' eyes, for example – they will sometimes resort to the English word blue, which they pronounce "boo-roo."”

Not everything has to be edgy. Can't you simply say "Great job!" or "congrats" ?
> I wish HN discouraged clickbait titles, even when the article itself uses that title

It actually does discourage that, I remember seeing a post from dang saying so.
If more than the top 30% of people have iphones (or equally expensive phones), then some percentage of people did exactly that.

There is going to be a huge intersection of people with less than 1000$ in savings, but have an iPhone.

Perhaps that's WHY they have so little savings? I knew a family who filed for bankruptcy while having 3 macbooks they used for MS Word and Facebook. Bad spending habits and the need to keep up with the Jones are both issues.

Not all people are poor because they "waste" money, but when you consider that a lot of luxuries are considered "necessities", you have to question things.
Once one has taken the obvious step of speaking truth to power there remains the more subtle and challenging business of speaking wierdness to truth.
You very much stated and continue to state that no one should complain about Cunningham's choice here out of respect. This absolutely implies that his action is above criticism and that the appropriate response is to remain silent. This is painfully obvious from your last line. You say "respect that choice" and clearly mean "accept it and shut up".

I don't think it counts as "whining" to ask if there is another way (e.g. switch to static content) to address Cunningham's concerns/costs without outright taking the wiki down.

In no way do I think Cunningham owes the community continued indefinite hosting of the wiki. At the same time, its removal is a loss to the community and it's unsurprising that some would ask if this could be handled differently.

I'll second this. At one of the places I currently work at, we have the same codebase split between nodejs 0.10.40 and node 6.2.something, because the devs were scared of the incremental changes and having to fix small things along the way. It's a nightmare now, and transitioning the final stuff off is proving to be a massive wallop of tech debt.

If you have a team that's actively working on the code, incremental upgrades to the dependencies should be pretty comfortable. But if you've got some legacy thing that no-one really knows, then is the time to start being careful about updating little bits.
In this case, they were quoting the article, but what about the spelling was Orientalist?

The only thing I could see would be the use of the pseudo-anglicism instead of the English phrase, but that just seems to be specifying the specific word that amused them, not exaggerating the English phrase we would associate with it for effect.
This is the product of a very elite team... which means it's also very complicated to use.

That's an unfortunate assumption. Looking back at historic examples, the Windows API was complicated to use while the NeXTSTEP API wasn't. Is there any question which was created by an "elite team"?

For non Japanese practicers who are curious: katakana is not used just for loan words. It is also used for some names, onomatopoeias, to make text stand out (the way we might use all caps/italics), some scientific terminology, etc.
The scikit-learn tutorials are great. Another nice thing about scikit-learn is that the api for a lot of different ML algorithms is very similar, almost identical.

This means that you can set up a train and and test set and swap in and out random forest, svm, naive bases, logistic regression, and various others.

Read about them one by one, try to understand the algorithms generally, test them out, see how they perform differently on different data sets.

It all depends on how you like to approach a new subject, but I think this is more fun and motivating than going straight into the mathematics behind the algorithms right away (which is more along the lines Andrew Ng's excellent course). I'd say once you're into it and using the algorithms, then dig deeper into the core mathematics, you'll have a better context for it.
Live in another country, and in an environment where English wasn't an option 80%+ of the time.

Courriel is definitely from Quebec; it was only adopted officially in France in 2003, while it had been in use in Canada since the late 90s.
Great story!

Reminds me if the time I was using the Naval Electronics Labs' (San Diego) mainframe as part of an Explorer post, semi-officially during high school (1971-ish), and got ambitious, writing a compiler in the assembly macro language. Wrote it up on the punch card forms, several thousand lines of code. Submitted it to the punch card crew, and got it back several days later with a rather strong note about what project to charge it to. Turns out it was quite expensive to punch several thousand cards and they expected our group to be submitting little programs in Fortran, not monster assembly decks.

Oh well, somehow it was glossed over. They ended up hiring me that summer to do some systems programming so I guess they weren't too mad.

I would bet it's because all political stories get buried on HN. Per HN guidelines:

wyager actually introduced the word. You then said that Fiske used the term. I don't see the term anywhere in Gelman's article.

In fact, Gelman uses the term in a comment on the linked page:

>Frederic:

>I’m as bothered by anyone by trolls etc., and I’d’ve had no problem if Fiske had written an article about trolls, abuse of communication channels, etc. (ideally with some examples). But this has nothing to do with replication. These are two unrelated topics! What Fiske seems to be doing is conflating the replication movement, which she doesn’t like, with all sorts of “terroristic” behaviors which none of us like. I’d prefer for Fiske to write two articles, then I could say I agree with her article about bad behavior and I disagree with her argument about scientific criticism.

Gelman has lots of valid points. I just didn't see any real discussion on abuse...anywhere...and was wondering what was being discussed in regards to using and redefining the word.

I don't understand what methodological terrorism is, but I do see ad hominem arguments use. The words really should be defined somewhere for use to read, if they are going to be published. Also, examples of exactly what she is talking about would be really useful.

Given that Thiel is one of the most prominent figure in the tech world + a YC advisor this is a valid tech story.
A major problem with your approach is that it assumes analyzing a binary for correctness or security is equivalent to analyzing well-documented, high-level source. It's not. It takes much more work to discover vulnerabilities in assembly or even correctness failures. That's because it lacks the context for how the software is supposed to operate.

I can read a commented Python or BASIC program with almost no effort unless it's very sloppy. I can tell you a MISRA C or SPARK program with associated static checks is immune to entire classes of errors without analyzing the source myself. I can tell you what information flows can or can't happen in a language like SIF implementing information-flow security. I can do all of this while expending almost no effort. So, I'm much more likely to do it than if I had to decompile and reverse-engineer a binary from scratch with analyses using the tiny information in a binary.

So, every time you say that, what you're really saying is: "Anyone could do this if they spent enormous time and energy. Sort of like they could hand-compile their C code each iteration. They probably won't but I'm countering your wanting for source because in theory they could do all this with assembly with enough effort."

It's definitely not true for correctness as assembly lacks what you need to know it's correct. It's probably not true for security as correctness is a prerequisite for it. In any case, economics is important where the effort required to achieve a thing determines whether someone will likely spend that effort. In case of binary analysis, it's apparently a lot less than source analysis.

One of them is Amy Goodman, who, if you've ever listened to NPR, you've heard. The public prosecutor is saying that since she was showing the viewpoint of the Native Americans, she wasn't actually doing journalism, she was just promoting their disruptive behavior. Rolling Stone magazine claims that it's not the public prosecutor's job to decide what is and isn't journalism (http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/taibbi-on-amy-goodman-a...). Goodman has devoted her career to independent journalism, I'm sure she's going to fight this.

In Quebec they literally have a french word to replace all common english expressions and prevent borrowing.

I met some ladies from Quebec while in France, and they were horrified at how tainted the French spoken by the natives had become. They said at one point they just started speaking exclusively in English because they couldn't stand hearing French butchered by the natives.

It's apparently a common phenomenon that language continues to evolve and grow in the native country, while in colonies and former colonies, people tend to become more protective and orthodox about the language. There is some research that suggests that certain American accents are closer to the British accents of the colonists than the modern British accent is.
