I think this article is full with stereotypes. I'm Italian and I live in Barcelona. Who says that Italian food is only fucking pasta and the Spanish one, only paella. Sorry to say that but your view of foreign food can't be farer from reality. You have to live in a country a long time before you could dare speak about it's food. It's no sufficient to go there only for a week or something more, as a tourist...as I suppose you did.
Anyway, said this, I'm not arguing that food in Tokyo is bad.

Mubi has its benefit. It is great for the "show me something new" / "surprise me" approach. Discovering new genres, new films, new directors.

But if you decide you want to watch all the Brian de Palma movies you haven't seen, then neither Mubi nor Netflix or any competitor will satisfy this demand. Right now only the Pirate Bay will (or Amazon if you are happy to wait a couple of days to receive a DVD, and if you still even have a device that plays DVDs).

This is actually a really tricky topic. Things that sound like they should give very good security, often don't in practice. The "hashed bag of words" technique that you describe here sounds an awful lot like some recent attempts at letting legacy systems search on encrypted data [1,2].

We took at look at this recently [3], and it turns out that mapping the word numbers back to the original words is actually a lot more doable than you'd think.

Probably not as old (white?) male. But there is a simple way to increase your diversity.

You could start identifying as a woman, it is just a verbal identification, no other changes are required. This way you would also become lesbian.

In some countries you can legally change your race, by religious conversion (Sikht in UK). Again, religion is just a verbal identification.

Depends on your definition of 'fluent'. To speak like a native, you probably need to spend several years in a community where your target language is spoken as primary language. However, you don't need to be fully fluent to passably talk, read and write even on advanced level (like politics or academic subjects).

Find the part of the internet that communicates in your target language. Read and participate. Structured language classes with a professional teacher are helpful, but not sufficient.

Duolingo is nice for very basic introduction and first "stepping stone", but not enough if you want to progress farther than the basic tourist level (at least, not in the languages I have tried it).

After ~15 years studying (both in school and other activities), I wouldn't consider myself fully fluent in English but capable enough to get by in professional context.
I don't buy this. What was the cost--in brand, but also in actual revenue--to losing his role in The Apprentice, losing the Macy's sales, the Miss Universe thing, etc? I expect the backlash has had real consequences.

Ask HN: What is the most important lesson of your career?
We've all made mistakes. Learning from those mistakes is important. We often hear most about success stories but the failures and the hard times are just as, if not more so, educational.

One of my big lessons: ommunication is an important skill. Good written communication goes a long way. A project I worked on lacked clarity on what needed to be done and caused a lot of pain for me and the client.

Another one: a large corporate client is a whole different fish with a very different way of working. You can lose money if you don't adjust accordingly.

Moving to a country where they speak the language you are trying to learn kinda helps.
I've lived in the US for 15 years. At first I wouldn't even be able to even tell words apart, so listening to a lot of people and trying to make the sounds they were making was my first challenge. Then I knew like 200 words so my conversations were a bit limited so memorizing words was the next goal. And then I would get into more interesting conversations and people would use rare words which everybody seem to know what they meant. And for that you can only read a lot ^_^
Then you can get fancy and try to reduce your foreign accent for extra points.
But being exposed to the language is a must, hence living in a country where it is spoken helps. My french is kinda awful (I've never lived in france) but I can order food at restaurants which is nice.
I've posted this before, but it teaches how to get to that point: http://www.jamesshore.com/Agile-Book/estimating.html

Page Shot, like all features in Test Pilot is opt in. We have no plans to force anything on anyone. A big part of why we built test pilot in the first place was to give us a platform to test UX without going all 'Leeroy Jenkins' on Firefox users every time we come up with a new idea.
Look at the timeline. Eich donated after Prop 22 was overturned (Prop 22 restricted marriage to same-sex couples). He wasn't trying to keep the status quo, he was trying to change the California constitution to outlaw something that the court had previously deemed legal. The end result of that difference is subtle, yes, but I find the spirit of the difference significant. Which is to say...much worse.
Granted it's not the most representive sample but a glance through https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemongo shows that the majority of people are complaining.

I live by a park where there are 3 Pokestops and a Gym and it used to be mildly crowded, now it's empty. It's obvious that the game has died down and it all can be traced back to when Niantic broke the tracking system and proceeded to go after Maps.

Every "anti-cheat" measure they introduced (Detecting movement speed and root) netted a large number of false positives and they refuse to listen to their active and vocal community.

Not to mention the inherently broken Gym battle system where anyone can take over a Gym even if you were the one to beat the Gym owners. That was the one aspect I found too frustrating.

RE: your point on narcissism. My perspective is that if he becomes president, his excessive narcissism might actually be good thing for the country. As a narcissist Trump wants his legacy to be remembered as positive. He doesn't want future historians to see him as a failure or some no name president. Trump's campaign is built on the promise of "Making America Great Again", and if he fails on that promise then history will see him as a failure, a real threat to his identity. Because of this, Trump does not want to be remembered as the president that caused WW3 or exploded the national debt. In my opinion, I think Trump will push for positive changes to the country as a way to protect his identity (and existence).
ROI talk aside, and long risks aside, as an entrepreneur in SV, I'll be damned if I touch a dollar of Thiel funding. You can be as rational and cynical as you like, but if you even indirectly support a candidate as abhorrent morally as Trump, I'm going to assume that you have the same vacuousness in ethics that the top of the Republican ticket has, and I'd rather be an impoverished failure than take a dollar of his cynical Paypal money. Fuck you, Peter Thiel, you're on the wrong side of history.

Actually, we've made email collection/messages entirely opt in (as the result of user feedback) :)

Edit: but we should update the privacy notice!
The key is to get feedback. And normally, that means trying to make the sounds while you're young, because people tend not to correct adults when they make a slightly wrong sound.

Hang around kids and you'll notice people correcting their sounds repeatedly. Teachers will show them how to move their tongues, describing just what to do to make a th-sound or g-sound and so on. Go to an adult class and you rarely get that, apart from fixing really coarse issues.

If you're lucky, the easiest way to learn is just to grow up in a dual language zone. I grew up with four languages around me, so I know those sounds. To make it useful, though, you need instruction. You're unlikely to grow up in a place where specialist terms like "magnetism" or "accrual" are used in multiple languages. Also having some classes will clear up the minor niggles with any given language.

Sure, we should be vigilant against hate speech. But not by banning speech, and not by manipulating it. And saying that we shouldn't allow a specific faith into the United States, even on a temporary basis, is certainly against the American ethos. But it's not Hitler.

I would say a more apt comparison to Hitler is the language used in the parent to my comment: "If that's the man Thiel wants to stand with so be it. But I won't forget." An implied long-term threat against someone for voicing political support for the Republican candidate for President of the United States. Now that is a tactic straight out of the Joseph Goebbels playbook.

The only way out of the current mess I think is to elect Clinton and to immediately impeach her. Neither candidate is looking good at this point in time but Clinton at least seems to be relatively stable and won't do irreparable damage to the country.
> I was working at Mozilla when this was going on. I likely would've quit if Eich had remained

I don't know you or what you did at Mozilla: if it were up to me, I would rather had you quit than Eich (no offense). Frankly, Mozilla has lost focus and I think it would have done much better under Eich.

Edit: more thoughts on the politics. Eich's opinion was far from controversial- half of Americans held the same belief. I would guess half of Mozilla users in the US also had the same opinion: were those people also disposable?

Supporting prop 8 (to me as a lefty) is more benign than supporting Trump; yet I don't see any calls to boycott or quit companies with executives that support Trump.

Finally, it was a dangerous precedent for left wing politics to adopt, what if the right wing had adopted it and gotten someone fired for affronting beliefs held as strongly as yours?

Self Destruction 2.0
I feel that the use of moving objects weakened the case in the example, such as requiring object persistence priors. The paper also did not report theoretical maximum scores. Instead, I would have liked to see a planning scenario:

1. Objects are randomly placed such that all circles are reachable without hitting exes.

2. Objects do not move.

3. The objective function is the total points collected, discounted by time.

In this case, which is essentially the traveling salesman problem[1], it is possible to analytically compute the optimal strategy using discrete optimization methods (e.g. dynamic programming[2]). The optimal strategy gives us an absolute basis for algorithm evaluation. Next, divide the playing space into groups (maybe via spectral clustering[3]). Use dynamic programming to determine the order in which to visit groups, and automated planning for the sequence of moves to reach the groups. After group planning comes step planning. Build a state predictor that maps a the current state and a set of steps to a new state, where the steps have been determined through automated planning to reach an object. Again, use something like dynamic programming to determine the optimal series of plans to visit all the objects within the group.

This would be a hybrid system for using NN-derived features to fuel discrete optimization and automated planning algorithms. Such an approach should learn faster than DQNs and generate good solutions faster than dynamic programming.

In the more general case of an Atari game, I can see clustering frames into game states, mapping moves to those states, and using automated planning to determine the series of states, and therefore moves, to optimize score.

Obviously "savings account" and "in savings" are not the same thing. This survey and article don't seem professional - basically this is clickbait or they are clueless.

But the main issue still is real. Regardless of "savings account" status, other studies show ~half of Americans are financially insecure today. Should an emergency expense of $2000 come up they don't have it.

The problem is getting worse as baby boomers retire. If you include underfunded retirement savings in the group at risk then the vast, vast majority of Americans are in a financially insecure position.

Pew Trusts did a study as well: "One in 3 American families reports having no savings at all, including 1 in 10 of those with incomes of more than $100,000 a year."

"41 percent did not have enough liquid savings to cover the $2,000 cost of the typical household’s most expensive financial shock."

I think the problem is that it's rare to find skilled software developers who are also skilled hardware designers (at the professional level, a lot of hobbyists do both). So you don't get much quality dogfooding going on. Either the tools are developed by hardware engineers, and the workflow is efficient but the software is slow and buggy and the UI is inconsistent, or they're developed by software engineers, and so it technically does what you need but the workflow is terrible.

It will never be economically feasible to secure the grid from physical attack.

It is too expensive to bury the distribution network, and while isolated attacks like this are extremely unfortunate, the reality is that they are infrequent enough that physically securing the equipment will cost more than the economic losses to the energy company.

The state of industrial security is laughable, and electronic attacks are much easier to accomplish than physical attacks, simply because you can target geographically distributed locations simultaneously.

It's unfortunate that someone thought it was fun to shoot up some transformers, but just look at the article: up to $1 million in costs for the operator in this incident, versus an estimate of hundreds of billions in damages due to a cyber attack.

You can unroot CyanogenMod running on the Nexus 4 & Pokemon Go will run just fine. You have to give the SuperSU app root privileges in order to unroot ironically, but it works just fine & you can always root your system from the bootloader in the future if it turns out that you need root for some reason.

There’s an app in the Play Store that runs the tests the Google library that Niantic is using to check whether a phone is rooted or not (it’s the same tests used by the Google Pay infrastructure IIRC).
