I’m a Venture Backed Startup Founder and I Just Had a Baby
> The word has a broader meaning that encompasses other kinds of strategies

Does it really? I don't actually accept that, but around here at least, this is a common enough definition that you should call it out when you're going to deviate from it:

A startup is a company designed to grow fast. Being newly founded does not in itself make a company a startup. Nor is it necessary for a startup to work on technology, or take venture funding, or have some sort of "exit."

> The UK didn't really have mass shooting incidents all that frequently even before their bans.

There have been major restrictions on handgun use in the UK since 1968, well before Hungerford and Dunblane.

> but instead the political "four people shot" == mass shooting.

Are you pretending to be innumerate just to make a point? Or are you expecting me to believe you honestly can't subtract the two "acts of terrorism", just count the ones with more than five people killed, and still see that it's massively more than five times the UK number?
But then you have to update your settings every time you collaborate on a different project with different opinions about indenting. The right way would be for emacs to simply respect the project's .editorconfig file like any other editor does, but I can't for the life of me make emacs open JavaScript files and set up indentation properly with editorconfig. It totally defeats the purpose...

Mind the context: The Vietnam invastion of the U.S. happend just then, with massive atrocities committed by the U.S. (2 million civilians were killed in North Vietnam alone, Agent Orange killed an additional 400000 after the war ended). At that time, that was hardly mentionened in the press, or, if mentioned, framed as a necessary price to pay to archieve freedom.

In 1969, Nixon also dropped over 100.000 tons of bombs over Laos and Cambodia (Operations MENU and Freedom Deal), killing many thousands of civilians.

Even now, 40 years later, the English Wikipedia entry for the Vietnam War and the casualities portrays a completely different image than e.g. the German entry (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnamkrieg#Tote_und_Verletzt...). The english entry downplays the U.S. atrocities and e.g. doesn't mention the Agent Orange aftermath. The majority of pictures in the U.S. entry show Viet Cong victims, despite the fact that the U.S. killed way more civilians.

Of course Chomsky and Herman, being aware of that, were sceptical about the Pol Pot press coverage in 1977. And, according to your link, they reverted their scepticism when the facts became clearer, calling it the "great act of genocide in the modern period".
<offtopic>It's interesting how random numbers are essential in AI. Dropout and adding random Gaussian noise are standard practices. Random numbers are also essential in exploration strategies in Reinforcement Learning (epsilon greedy).

In the human brain, signals are stochastic, so they embed a large portion of randomness with each bit of information. Amazingly, adding noise to signals helps learning. Intelligence is at the edge of order and chaos - the lesson being that chaos is an essential part of it.

Unfortunately, despite all this Android is still a turd of an OS.

Just about every Android device I've used has been painful in some way or other and invariably I've ended up rooting it and installing a custom firmware, generally the most light-weight one I can find.

Unfortunately, despite these antics Android remains annoyingly prone to sluggishness, freezing, reboots and various other random problems.

Ultimately it seems that with Android you're either forced to use a stock ROM which imposes a heavy memory footprint due to all the "wonderful" tweaks Samsung/Sony/HTC/Xiaomi have made or drop down to a user-built AOSP-based variant that is inevitably plague by its own issues.

I'm horrified to think this kind of thing is the height of the mobile user experience.

Depends what type of wind turbines they are selling, dollar for dollar, you can produce nearly 5x more power compared to solar with this specific turbine, 5kw worth of generating capacity would cost $3500 in solar panels at wholesale costs[1].

This is one of the major reasons you see wind corridors like Eastern Washington & Oregon, or Texas being covered in wind turbines right now, which inevitably end up powering AWS Oregon & Google's massive datacenter in the Dalles and a few bitcoin mining operations with a ton of very cheap power.

To answer your question, I'm a user of KDE since its 3.x days. KDE 4 was as bad as they say it was - buggy, terrible theming and impaired customizability. The stability did improve in its later versions though.

I switched to Plasma 5 about a year ago, when the first stable version landed on Arch linux. It's been a daily driver since. Initial versions had lots of bugs in them - persistently high CPU usage. Sometimes the desktop hung for no fault of the user. Proper resumption after standby/resume was a lottery. On the plus side, the Breeze theme was a breath of fresh air compared to the older Oxygen theme.

Since version 5.6 was released things have improved and keep getting better with every new version. There are still occasional cockups with Intel graphics drivers leading to high CPU usage. The problem though seems to stem from the Qt libraries. Some GTK 3.x apps don't show proper widgets (blame Gnome devs for not having consistent themes for 3.x versions). I did give other DE's a go - Gnome 3.xx, Cinnamon, XFCE etc., but always ended up switching back. Plasma offered the best mix of customizability, performance and aesthetic appeal for me.

Came here to find out who else uses leading commas. I learned this several years ago at my current job and love it.

Just a quick question (in relation to my comment to your other comment): In these lectures that you find hard to concentrate on: Could you say that you feel disgust/repulsion? There doesn't need to be a rational reason, disgust is completely trained and can be felt for anything from the look of the windows to the hairstyle of the lecturer to the actual topic.

If so, then your inattentiveness could be your mind trying to escape that feeling.

The day firefox will stop relying on google's advertising money maybe it will feature a fully loaded ad block such as ublock origin by default and the situation will be much different. Up until now mozilla has not delivered on the putting the user first marketing gimmick.

Hopefully at some point in a not so distant future most browser will get out of the pandora's box and block ads and tracking out of the box.

Obviously, chrome will not come with a fully loaded adblock as google makes its huge piles of monies from being the biggest ad network.

‘Brexit’ Must Face a Parliamentary Vote, U.K. Court Rules
https://arxiv.org/abs/1412.6572 is a Goodfellow et. al. (ie, the person who's Tweet you note above) paper where they show adversarial examples do apply across architectures (as you state above), but they show that using the adversarial examples during training has a regularization effect and improves performance:

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1511.05432v3.pdf takes a similar approach:

We show that adversarial training of ANNs is in fact robustification of the network optimization, and that our proposed framework generalizes previous approaches for increasing local stability of ANNs. Experimental results reveal that our approach increases the robustness of the network to existing adversarial examples, while making it harder to generate new ones. Furthermore, our algorithm improves the accuracy of the network also on the original test data.

I agree this is an area of active research, but not that it is an inherent flaw.

If interviewing was the problem, it would imply that there are a lot of unemployed female developers (thousands and thousands - if they all were hired, we would expect a huge increase in percentage of female devs, so the number of unemployed female developers has to be a huge percentage of the number of all developers). Is that the case? How many unemployed female developers are there?

The other premise, that "diverse people" get less chance to practice interviewing, also seems bogus to me. I don't think good developers go through that many interviews and/or job applications before they get hired.

It may well be that interviewing is broken, what with the unreliable outcome, but it would be broken for everybody in the same way.

Ask HN: How do you encrypt your application/database data?
It seems to be a topic that isn't discussed quite as much as other architecture, possibly because the answer is common.

Encryption At Rest is pretty commonplace in several areas, so I'm more interested in the live data that is being used or frequently retrieved / reported upon.

Do you:

a) Not encrypt anthing - just at rest, as the (v)LAN is trusted.

b) Use database built-in (row-level) encryption.

c) Encrypt everything within your application such that nothing is persisted from it without first being encrypted at an application level.

d) Other.

I'd be particularly interested to know if anyone solves this problem whilst supporting any database, although I suspect this is a limited scenario.

Ed Catmull talks about the Pixar IPO in the book (below)

Before Toy Story came out, when Ed was not even sure they would even get a film out the door, Jobs started planning the IPO. Catmull disagreed, but Jobs pushed it through, and Pixar IPO'd a month or two after the barn-stomrning success of Pixar. The IPO made Jobs a billionaire, and put pIxar on the finanical footing to its current success.

Jobs knew how to, and took risks that even a fantastic business-builder like Catmull was afraid too.

Its a skill, and a personality that is rare and it built the foundation for two world class businesses on the same IPO. Don't knock him ... too much.
