First, I'd really ask yourself if you need an office.

* San Francisco Public Library has fast wifi, private meeting rooms, etc. I worked there for months after I got sick of giving Regus all my money.

* WorkShop Cafe (http://www.workshopcafe.com/) is awesome, and charges you 2 - 3 bucks an hour to work from their space.

* There are lots of free cafes, hotel lobbies, bookstores, parks with free-wifi, and other places to work.

If none of those work for you, check out WeWork, RocketSpace, NextSpace, Sandbox Suites, etc. There are so many co-working spaces available, that I'm sure you'll be able to find one. They typically have a waiting list for private offices, but there's enough turnover on the open-desk areas that you can normally squeeze in.
It would be impressive to know that in advance, given that actually it was Bob Dylan who won it.

(But perhaps they were tipped off that it would be a singer-songwriter, and they made the wrong guess.)

"Now I know you're just PC police, and that I have nothing to gain by further engaging with you."

That's not PC police. This is How To Win Friends And Influence People stuff, not PC stuff.

You are free to be rude, but you'll pay the consequences, quite needlessly.

I'm in a position where I with some frequency have to contradict people (being a code reviewer for a significant internal shared library has that result), but I try to make it clear in my words and tone that it's in the spirit of working with them and obtaining the best solution. I'm pretty sure it's not 100% successful, because some people to some extent can't process being contradicted in any way as anything less than hostility (and I put both "somes" in that sentence on purpose), no matter how polite you are about it, and on my side, I'm absolutely sure I'm not perfect about it, but I am sure I'm better off than I would be if I was always being as blunt as possible without even trying.
I am not doubting that you are right, but this argument does not quite amount to a proof. That is because you would have to show that there are cases where the lifetimes of the graph's elements cannot be determined from consideration of the semantics of the problem.
Apologies. The PDFs that we deal with are digital-native, but do not have embedded text and are not searchable. I simply want to OCR the PDF and spit the text into a Word/text file.

Building Opsview Monitor 5.1: A New Approach
maybe Michael Crichton or the Harry Potter lady will win it next year...
We tested last week, distorm3 and yara bindings for python are the big things that just didn't work (yet again) with our test case (the volatility memory forensics framework). We got them installed with pip, but they just didn work. Volatility still runs without them, it just complains a bit.

Also, startup time of volatility exploded for no apparent reason (4 seconds CPython vs 12 seconds PyPy, latest 2.7 branch). Real analysis time was indeed faster (~30 seconds CPython vs ~15 seconds PyPy), but half the plugins won't work.

Plus, in the end (startup+analysis), both CPython and PyPy got close results (though arguably PyPy was some about 15% faster).

Everything is Broken always felt like a theme song for my job in telecommunications at a service provider. Especially the parts about broken lines and broken switches. That's just how universal Dylan's literature really is:

Broken lines, broken strings

Broken threads, broken springs

Broken idols, broken heads

People sleeping in broken beds

Ain’t no use jiving

Ain’t no use joking

Everything is broken

Broken bottles, broken plates

Broken switches, broken gates

Broken dishes, broken parts

Streets are filled with broken hearts

Broken words never meant to be spoken

Everything is broken

Seem like every time you stop and turn around

Something else just hit the ground

Question: what happened in 2013 that made Twitter's operating costs increase 8x?
Sorry, how do you mean "rerender the styles multiple times"? The only time any styles ever change is if one of your interpolations changes, but otherwise we don't do much calculation at all!

That being said, there might be a performance impact in massive (1000+ components) applications. We've tried it in medium apps, and haven't seen any performance impact yet. We're also going to build a babel transform to extract the static styles to get even better performance. (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12700280)
He's the second person in history to have an Oscar and a Nobel Prize. The first being George Bernard Shaw.
It's also very difficult to write neutral news.

For instance an event where an old man drives his car into a wall. A neutral headline could be "Old man drives car into wall". But the problem with this is that a lot of people will now assume he drove it into the wall because he is old. So a better neutral headline would be "Man drives car into wall" and then the article has to explain the reason. This is a very subtle change but makes a lot of difference.

Now lets say an old woman drove her car into a wall: "Woman drives car into wall". A lot of people think women are worse drivers than men, so this will already be a sensational title for some.

A good read about this is "Why you should stay away from news" from Rolf Dobelli.

Apologies for not being clear in my OP. The PDF is a digital-native image produced from a text document, but without embedded or searchable text. Looking at the PDF in full resolution, there are not artifacts, blurry characters, or any alignment or uneven scale issues that are troublesome when attempt to OCR a scan or photograph. It looks exactly like a Word document, but without selectable or editable text.

I read the lyrics to Dylan's Forever Young at my nephews baptism as a poem, and half the audience was crying. Excerpt:

May you grow up to be righteous

May you grow up to be true

May you always know the truth

And see the lights surrounding you

May you always be courageous

Stand upright and be strong

May you stay forever young

May you stay forever young.

Because as in software, so in law, you must deliver an end product that has the instructions expanded with the differences included in. You don't give templates, you dive the rendered result. A tech savvy law firm could of course use templates to define what that would be.

That said, a lot of state law is kind of like what you describe. An initial law, and tons of differences applied on it. E.g. article 3242 clarifies article 432 and adds the provision to do so and so.
I'm surprised 69 is third instead of first. I'm even more surprised the author is surprised it's in the tops.

When I first looked at a password database I actually laughed out loud at how many 69 there were. I don't know, there is something funny about 'Yaris69' or 'Puppy69', although it's probably used ironically these days.

Regarding general-purpose GC:

I don't support using GC for everything. If there is a problem that can only be solved with GC, it doesn't mean that we should express our entire running programs in terms of dynamic cyclic graphs. I believe we can do much better, with much fewer resources.

I was referring to this part:

Y = *(uint32_t*)s - 0x30303030;

By casting a string to a uint32_t, you are assuming the memory layout of uint32_t. Y will have a different value depending on architecture. E.g. on a typical little-endian you will get 0x06010002. On big-endian you will get 0x02000106.

I'm talking about C, however. I didn't notice the post is talking about C#. Things might be better defined there.

Tachyons' main-purpose is not abbreviating inline-styles, but providing the developer with a consistent and scalable layouting-system for spacing and typography, which, at the end, is what arrives at the user.

If you love your inline-styles you can keep them and use tachyons just for the scale:

import { sizes } from "react-native-style-tachyons

<MyComp
style={{
fontSize: sizes.f2,
height: sizes.h1,
paddingTop: sizes.pt1,
backgroundColor: "#232323"
}}
/>

Though I still think

<MyComp cls="f2 h1 pt1 bg-#232323" /> /* string is checked for validity of course */

is much cleaner.

> It's administered by an entirely different organization, in a different country and with different rules and criteria.

This part is true, but that's because Nobel explicitly specified it this way. The peace prize is one of the original "real" ones. As opposed to the one for economics, which was made up later by others.

(And, well, that contributions to world peace are judged by "different rules and criteria" than physics... makes some sense.)

I've seen this idea pushed a ton recently, especially over on /r/ukpolitics and it seems like nonsense.

I think the idea stems from the way the Graun has opened up it's 'Comment is Free' section which has lead to quite a few low quality opinion pieces particularly 'SJW' esq ones.

The actual reporting from the Gruan is still good quality in my opinion, certainly head and shoulders above the DMs. And whilst the Graun has its left bias it, quite rightly, hasn't been kind to the current Labour party.

Today's news presented to me by Facebook includes Putin prepping for a Third World War by having diplomats' families return home.

My understanding of it is that he made some pronouncement that their kids are best off returning to Russia for a good, traditional nationalistic education - which has somehow warped into something more apocalyptic. Certainly, Facebook didn't originate that interpretation, but it's helping to propagate a story that's only being reported by tabloid outlets; there is no other facet of the rumour being presented by more measured and reasonable outlets.
From my copy:

"The airborne alert program was terminated the day after the Thule accident. The risks no longer seemed justifiable, and many B-52s were now being used to bomb Vietnam."

The Thule accident was, of course, in 1968.

I don't recall there being anything else about a continuous alert being resumed afterwards, but I certainly could have forgotten.

Edit: since we're talking about this book, if anyone is interested in stuff I highly recommend it. The full title is Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons, the Damascus Accident, and the Illusion of Safety by Eric Schlosser. Available wherever fine books blah de blah blah.
Thanks for posting this. A beautifully written article.
There was a Spanish band which used to take poems by various authors such as García Lorca and make songs from them. Did this mean the poems suddenly became worse?

Now, I do agree that you can have a great song with lyrics that wouldn't be that great by themselves. But that doesn't mean genuinely good poems can't be written as lyrics.

As an Ai "hipster" (been into it before it was cool), it's certainly interesting seeing the mainstream culture now catching up to the implications it has. I'm glad this is happening, and I hope the discussion broadens and we hear from all people. I'm one of the whacky ones who believes it's a really important rung in our evolution as a species, so I think being collectively aware of where we're going can only be a good thing.

OK, so it seems you have two objections. First that the headline omits the fact that that the period involved is not annual, thus optically inflating the figure. Second, you object that the phrase "sexually assaulted" is used instead of the more accurate and neutral phrase "arrested for sex-related crimes".

I have to say I agree with you on both counts. It would have been more accurate and neutral to write the headline as you suggest. (It would also have been longer and more boring.) Regarding your second point, a quick google search reveals that sex-related crimes encompass:

- Sexual Assault: Describes the catch-all crime that encompasses unwanted sexual touching of many kinds, with links to state penal code and federal law on related crimes.
- Solicitation: It's illegal to entice someone else to commit a crime (such as prostitution). ...
- Statutory Rape

I have no idea how the figures break down in these categories, so it's hard to the degree of unfairness being applied. If all of the 70K cases were rape, then Breitbart may actually be overly nice :) (Not saying it's likely!)

So thanks for that clarification. I would say, however, that this kind of headline is pretty typical for all news agencies. For example, during the Brexit "debate" in Britain, news outlets like BBC also quoted figures that were aggregated over a number of years to highlight the potential losses to the UK economy. Ditto the Daily Mail on the other side of the aisle. If this is the evidence that Breitbart is a shoddy news outlet, then I contend that the evidence is fairly weak.

> Once you have a learning machine that can solve simple problems. You can scale it up to solve very complex problems.

Nope. It's really easy to solve simple problems; it can sometimes even be done by brute-force.

That's what caused the initial optimism around AI, e.g. the 1950s notion that it would be an interesting summer project for a grad student.

Insights into computational complexity during the 1960s showed that scaling is actually the difficult part. After all, if brute-force were scalable then there'd be no reason to write any other software (even if a more efficient program were required, the brute-forcer could write it for us).

That's why the rapid progress on simple problems, e.g. using Eliza, SHRDLU, General Problem Solver, etc. hasn't been sustained, and why we can't just run those systems on a modern cluster and expect them to tackle realistic problems.

All software used by governments should be whatever is best in terms of features/price/security/etc. Open Source is nice but not really important.

All data, however, should be in documented, standardized, open formats.

Where it makes sense, software should have APIs using common standards.

Where it's possible without revealing national secrets or personal information, those APIs should be open to the public,

For me it's convenience. I drink Coffiest a few days per week, especially if I wake up hungry or if I want to save time on breakfast that day.

Another aspect is that the nutritional content is better than me making a Pop-Tart or microwave breakfast sandwich.

I'm equally guilty of being a foodie more often than not especially when traveling, but sometimes a simple routine optimization is just nice to have.
Maybe Facebook's human-curated news content had a political slant because much of the fake news out there has the opposite political slant. Perhaps an unintended consequence?

Or perhaps it's just that the fake news that is shared on Facebook has a particular slant, thus removing that content gave the appearance of a preference for a different political slant on the part of the curators.

There's another option as well: have enough redundancy to have substantial forces survive even a massive first strike, absorb it, and then retaliate at leisure. This seems to be the US's approach:

https://www.armscontrol.org/act/1997_11-12/pdd

I imagine other countries with smaller arsenals may not have that option. Even your B may not necessarily be an option, if their command structure relies on centralized control and would be vulnerable to a decapitation strike.

>There's some evidence that democracy is unsustainable without economic growth.

Democracy is how a society chooses to govern itself.

Above a certain point (e.g. when food is so scarce people kill each over for it) it's not about how much money or resources it has.

There have been in ethnography tribes with democratic self-governance that had 1/1000 the resources we have, and no "growth" year over year.

A lot of the interest in mandating open standards, at least a few years ago, was targeted at the dominance of MS Office. That's interesting nowadays because:

- MS Office's default file formats are open standards with open source libraries/ reference implementations
- MS Office (both desktop and web app) can handle ODF very well nowadays.

At least for small business and home users, Google docs has become increasingly dominant with surprisingly little concern for long-term document accessibility. For example, Google Drive will only sync down links to Google doc files on desktop. Aside from manually exporting every single document you have in the preferred format, there is no way to get your documents for backup/archival purposes, and good luck switching to another service/software. It would be nice to see a little interest in standards/compatibility for google docs now that so many businesses use it.
