Perhaps it should be a browser extension, called HN Executive Summary.

How does it summarise? Some kinda AI?
Don't forget that a prof has to raise the money in ferocious competition to fund every student. Only successful profs can get enough money for a lot of students.
Similar addon for Firefox: Leechblock. It lets you make collections of URLs and rules on how often you can visit them within x minutes, then it either blocks them completely or institutes a delay. I've found it helpful as I can easily whittle away my time aimlessly wandering the web (especially so with neverending pages).

SyntaxDB (https://syntaxdb.com) was put on PH and HN and that gave it a significant increase in traffic.

It was actually posted on PH once before, but that time it wasn't featured. Almost one year later, I built an API, several extensions, increased the amount of content, and integrated it with DDG. Eventually I decided it was worth giving the PH people a shout to see if it would get reposted (they let you repost if your product makes substantial progress). It successfully got featured that time.
Apparently you didn't read this one though, considering

You have had over 1 million downloads. What sort of revenue does the app make per month?
If you were truly a procrastinator you would've posted this tomorrow morning.
No, even with HFT the instantaneous liquidity of the market is firmly in the volatile regime, by orders of magnitude. So while HFT adds some liquidity, its very far off from bringing anything like enough to make markets more stable and it does it at the cost of many more destabilizing trades into the system.
You could write a bot for that :-)
Thanks for making my point for me, the US involvement in Yemen has been going on for months
This argument can hardly apply when the choice is between "politics as usual" and "carpet bomb the constitution". Your fascism screed might be intended to come off as sarcastic, but Trump has literally threatened to deport legal citizens, kill innocent civilians abroad, shut down unfriendly newspapers, and imprison his political rivals. I wonder: what sort of rhetoric would it take for people to recognize the seeds of fascism?

And no, corporations are certainly not politically neutral agents, for better or for worse. In fact, I'd say they're among the most powerful players in shaping the future of the world.
Truecrypt had something like this for PC's. The project shut down though.
That sounds as something ppl would only use in the early 90s

So you're more a consequentialist than a deontologist, okay.
This is a very simple monitoring service to send you an email/text if your server goes down. The interesting part is that it is powered by the nodes on the 21.co Grid Computing network who are paid in Bitcoin to report the status and latency info. Let me know if you have any feedback about it or any thoughts...
I know that until optical mice matured and high-precision optical mice appeared, there were many gamers who still preferred mechanical mice (with a ball) since they felt they were more precise and less error-prone (i.e. cursor suddenly moving when it should not or the other way round), though mechanical mouses were a lot more high-maintenance.

I personally have a decent optical mouse on my desk, but also another (rather recently bought) optical mouse that sometimes "stutters" - this may be related to the material of my desk pad (in other words: If I were to buy a good mouse pad the problem would disappear). But this should deliver further evidence for the previous paragraph.
It seems to me that the way armies traditionally conquered uncontrollable cities was to raze them. Assad and Russia are doing that to Aleppo right now. If the us army is ever in a situation where they need to subjugate a megacity, someone has fucked up on an unbelievable scale.
I had a little bit of a google for shotspotter effectiveness info.

It seems like it has a false positive problem (which you allude to) and a response time problem.

The first problem seems almost irrelevant if the response cost is low (because you have drones), the latter problem may be more of an issue. Recent drones can get 45 mph, so depending on what kind of range you expect snipers to have, it's probably possible to have a ring of them around the area such that their 2 min range only just overlaps and be able to cover ~3-4 miles around an installation.

Is 2 minutes too slow of a response time for these facilities? I don't know.

Rural areas will be much easier to secure than urban areas though.
Wait, are you saying HFT are great and should be kept because their business model looks like its collapsing?
I was delighted with my ASUS UX305UA for 5 months, now it's been in and out of repair for 1 month :(
As I've said elsewhere on the thread: I agree with you about Eich. I have no trouble drawing the line here between Eich and Thiel:

* Eich was ousted from a full-time job. Thiel is not an employee of YC.

* Eich's beliefs were well within the mainstream; Barack Obama campaigned in opposition to marriage equality.

* Eich's support for Prop 8 was quiet. It was mined out of a database and used against him. So far as I can see, he had not made any Mozilla employees uncomfortable. He didn't get on stage at the RNC and use his position at Mozilla to suggest that Silicon Valley opposed marriage equality.

* Eich's support for Prop 8 was relatively insignificant. In addition to being such an important Trump surrogate that his actions make the front page of CNN, Thiel donated millions and bundled millions more to the Trump campaign.

* For that matter, marriage equality is a substantially different issue than Trumpism. Trump believes Muslims, including US citizens, should be prevented from entering the US. He proposes a religious test for entry into the country. He believes his political opponents should be jailed. He is campaigning against the very legitimacy of the election he's running in. Trump is running against the very idea of equality of citizenship. You can't say all those things about the belief that LGBT people should be denied marriage rights --- in fact, you have pretty good evidence of the difference: thankfully, the cause of marriage equality crushed the cause of traditional marriage.

The campaign to oust Eich from his job at Mozilla was wrong. I didn't support it at the time and I don't support it now. I do not feel that way, even a little bit, about the call for Graham and Altman to live up to their own words about Trump.
Ah, I see, thanks for sharing. Yes, I personally view most of those deviations as positive.
Most tooth loss is caused by bacteria that lots of people are immune or resistant to, not diet. It's something that people don't talk about much; I'm immune to cavities, and wouldn't know that such a thing were possible if I wasn't, and dentists hadn't told me. It's not uncommon around the world, but I think it's generally recessive. Large groups of native Americans were immune to cavities, a lot of Melanesian and Polynesian groups, and if you say that native Australians were, you'd expect to see it in southern India.

Again - I eat piles of processed sugar, I'm middle-aged, I've never had a cavity, and I've been told that without extreme neglect, I never will.

IIRC, it's difficult to develop a vaccine for cavities because it would also cause the immune system to attack certain sorts of tissue around the heart and vascular system. Neanderthals may have just tended to a different biochemistry that allowed them to develop natural immunity.
Depends on the size and reasons for the rewrite. I am Director of Eng. at a 85 people startup (funny how that sounds), and last April we released "version 2" of our platform/website [1]. We basically threw away a huge chunk of the code that was developed by the technical founder, myself and another dev, and replaced it with a fully scalable architecture.

When the company I work for was being started, a technical advisor (who had sold his company months before) told us not to worry a lot about the first codebase, because we were going to throw that away after some time. I am deffinitely sure even what we have now, will get obsolete in a couple of years (two at most)

For this reason, I think having a good planned rewrite (even if it is underestimated) can be good. I think the important part is understanding why the rewrite is performed, and be sure that it is done for the right reasons.

I'm very much not a consequentialist. Like I said, I'm Catholic. I'm about as deontological as you can get and still be a software developer.
I watched this video cognizant of the close relationship between the Pentagon and Hollywood, and interpreted it essentially as marketing. I think it's worth wondering where society would be without the DoD's multi-trillion-dollar black-budget-vacuum sucking away at it. I think it would be wise to look elsewhere for solutions to dystopian futures - at least until the DoD opens itself to audits.

"The aim of the University is a true enlargement of mind... the power of viewing many things at once." [0]

Would very much like to see Cardinal Newman's Ideas around 'liberal' and 'servile' education catch the attention of the HN crowd. We're doing learning and advancement all wrong by focusing on utilitarian outcomes for universities rather than pure development of the mind (whence would flow marvellous creativity).

Marketing and product seem fine, but the name would almost definitely fail a name search if you talked to a lawyer. HipChat is a well-known product, and I (as a consumer) immediately wondered whether this was an Atlassian product (despite the TLD).

> De-Broglie-Bohm theory includes the same set of non-intuitive behaviors that all valid interpretations of quantum mechanics have, in other words it is not testable different from other interpretations.

There exist opinions that disagree:

"In 2016, Pisin Chen and Hagen Kleinert argued that the Copenhagen interpretation and the De Broglie–Bohm theory yield different results for the ratio of peak intensities in the double-slit experiment. They concluded that they are thus not mathematically equivalent."

It's a good goal for your interview process to "turn off" or filter some experienced hires. Not all experienced people are good coders.

Google, however, seems to be selecting/rejecting the wrong people. I've used dozens of Google products, and not one of them is stable/reliable (except for Gmail).
In most companies nothing of substance changes over the course of a year. You won't fall behind trends and methods. It's like not reading the news for a year. You miss a lot of noise but the substance doesn't change.

I was referring specifically to the missles fired at the US destroyer and the bombing of the Houthi radar installations, not the conflict in Yemen.

I can agree that the election sells more ads than substantive coverage of world events and did learn some things from the Source piece.

He's expressed just about every bigoted position there is (against races, religions, and women). He's expressed just about every fascist position there is (jailing political opponent, killing/torturing innocents, shutting down press outlets). What would Donald have to do?
A lot of people keep their work on these on GitHub, a quick search should turn up solutions for at least the first few sets in any language you care to name.

That said, if you want to get value out of these, don't look at someone else's solutions until you've worked through them yourself. They're challenging, but very doable and very rewarding.
That's on Android, and maybe half that again on iOS. It varies a little, but it's $500-$1000 a month at the moment (even split between iOS and Android). I'm pretty sure I could do better but I could never bring myself to do heavy monetisation. I hate aggressive IAPs, for example.
Have you run into any issues where the minikube env is sufficiently different from production that you it requires some tweaks/hacks?

Also curious if you run multiple services in local minikube for integration testing?
Germany doesn't have many internal issues apart from a slow bureaucracy and racism.

The EU certainly has dropped of the radar, even as far as the AfD is concerned and the EU budget isn't really a point of much discussion and has never been one really.

The AfD is also not looking very healthy at the moment. Their actual policies won't win anyone over and their performance in legislature isn't either. Not to mention that they have massive internal issues. They are currently capturing the protest and racist vote but as the other parties adapt and the fantasy they AfD has created comes into contact with reality, they're numbers will crash.

Additionally much of the EU hasn't shown themselves from their best side in the refugee crisis, at least from a German perspective. Germany itself or Schaeuble anyway has also made it a fetish to reduce debt. Any proposals that slashes EU expenses, especially towards Eastern Europe won't get much criticism. Indeed some might very well think that this is a great idea just to remind everyone exactly what the EU has to offer and why Germany has the power it has.
"He just isn't bad enough"? Have you listened to the garbage coming out of his mouth? At this point, I almost fear to ask: what would be bad enough? Someone outright advocating for genocide?

You should understand that Noms is doing something quite a lot simpler than the systems that are usually reviewed on Aphyr.

Noms doesn't manage its own storage - it relies on an underlying key/value store that must provide strongly consistent reads for at least one key. In other words, we delegate most of the hard part to somebody else.

With that all said...

Currently our intent is that:

- Transactions that read and write from a single dataset have strong serializability

- Transactions that read from multiple datasets and write to a single dataset have snapshot isolation

- Transactions that write to multiple datasets aren't possible

In the future, we will probably allow additional configuration, such that, e.g., one could choose snapshot isolation within a dataset for additional concurrency, or strong serializability for transactions that span datasets.
Yes, I travel a lot. Over 50 countries, 25 in the last 2 years as part of my sabbatical.

Sadly, I disagree. If I'm in a foreign country and I want legal advice I'll ask the local bar (or equivalent) about my rights. I'm simply not going to unlock my phone or incriminate myself just on the word of law enforcement.

I don't do anything criminal, this is about respect. If they feel I have done something wrong it's for them to prove it. I'm not going to do it for them.
Cool to see lots of comments on real life algorithm applications, if anyone is interested in diving deeper there's a good book that came out recently called "Algorithms to Live By" by Brian Christian and Tom Griffiths. It talks about how we often use CS algorithms in real life without knowing.

XPS 13.

That said, I haven't had much luck getting the usb-c dock working 100% correctly with Ubuntu 16.04. Going from laptop to attached to a separate monitor and peripherals works, but workstation to laptop more often than not will leave me with the laptop still 'seeing' the external monitor and treating the laptop monitor as the secondary display.
"Of course. I'm foolish, but not foolish enough to think "easy" compiler/OS equals "easy" webapp. However, I am foolish enough to start any project, although usually not mad enough to finish it once I get an idea of the work involved."

You and I are appearing to be more similar than I thought on these kinds of things haha.

"Oberon looks neat. I am usually not a fan of the Wirthian languages, so I might not enjoy it in the same way I enjoy, say, Python, or Scheme, but it looks interesting."

In your case, rebooting PreScheme to do a small OS like Oberon or clone of it might be a better take. There's already books on quickly putting together a Scheme compiler. The PreScheme and VLISP papers are pretty detailed. Include some safety features from Clay (C-like) and Carp (Lisp) with Scheme's macros and simplicity. Mock-up assembly language in it so you can code & test it, too, in Scheme with extraction process to real thing.

That combo seems like it would work better for you plus result in at least one deliverable: a PreScheme implementation for system programming whose code was compiled with GCC or LLVM. You might find that useful over time esp if you made syntax compatible with one of your typical, Scheme implementations to port those libraries over easily. Split it between GC'd code and non-GC'd code like Modula-3 did.
Reading stuff like this makes me think what key pieces of technology made things viable a few years ago. For example what breakthrough made SSDs so widely available and cheap?
Why Solving Data Aggregation First Will Lead to Real Estate Data Analytics
Well, you're at least somewhat consequentialist because you've just said you'll judge a person differently depending on what means and resources are available to them. You're okay with your cousin supporting Trump (and giving his campaign a paltry $20USD donation?) but you're not okay with them if they were richer and were giving the campaign a $2M donation. Where am I misunderstanding you?

> A republic, as far as I understand it, implies that a (thoughtful, responsible, .., elected) minority is afforded the delegated power to legislate, judge, and administer.

Elected, yes. Thoughtful and responsible depends on your point of view. For example: there is a substantial contingent of people in the U.S. that want the country to be a Christian theocracy. (Most of these people believe that this is how things used to be, and they want to return to those halcyon days.) And so, unsurprisingly, these people vote for representatives who they think will advance that goal. So, for example, is Roy Moore "thoughtful and responsible"? If you're a member of this contingent then you probably think he is. If you're not, then you probably don't.

Likewise, there is a substantial contingent of people who are scared witless at the thought of terrorism, and think that it's worth trading in the odd civil right to insure that terrorists are not "free" to plot our destruction unmolested. There is a substantial contingent of people who are unrepentant racists who think black people are less than human and the root of all evil. Likewise for Muslims. All of these people not only don't care when "the bad guys" have their civil rights violated by the cops, they think it's a feature. They see the cops as courageous defenders of their point of view against the corrupting influence of pluralism and wussiness. The vaguaries of our electoral system make a difference at the margins (e.g. by gerrymandering) but none of these things would be possible if there were not millions of people who thought that it was good and proper.

The irony is that by blaming the system instead of acknowledging that the outcomes we see are the result of democracy working exactly as intended you are actually contributing to the problem, which is that everyone retreats into their echo chamber and spends their energy vilifying anyone who doesn't agree with them instead of working constructively to figure out how all 7+ billion of us are going to get along on this little planet.
There's a few of these plugins.

What I actually want is a plugin that makes the time wasting sites unbearably slow. This way if I need to check something on one of these sites, I can do so without disabling the plugin.

Maybe you can do something with increasing latency the longer you stay on the site.
That only works if you trust the person looking.

While I am not statistically sophisticated to say whether the statement is true or not, it seems that the mathematical machinery is strongly converging, as witnessed by papers like [1], where some of the statistical machinery is being developed on the ML side.
It might be historically interesting to note that 20-30 years ago, ML also more evenly spanned work that would be considered AI based -- as including logic or knowledge representation see [2 - 4] as examples.

Not accurate. You can be promoted and take on additional responsibilities and/or title.
I'm curious as to when exactly that video was recorded. It must have been after 1989, but it looks like those 1970s era films we used to watch in elementary school. Which is kind of appropriate given the incredibly simple technology they're using.
