Yes, sometimes the data structure you need is either:

- unavailable (in a permissive license in) the platform you're currently using.

- available with an unsatisfying implementation.

If you're lucky, your employer will allow you to contribute to open source during your working hours so other developers won't need to re-implement it.

Now, if the question is about whether I needed to come up with a totally novel data structure at the office, the answer is no in my case.

Smarking (YC W15) Is Hiring Sr. Generalist Engineers in SF
The NSRL dataset has signatures that are typically used to verify both integrity and veracity.

http://www.nsrl.nist.gov/RDS/rds_2.54/split-hash.txt

Alleging the NSRL is untrustworty is inconsistent with the track record of the NSRL and NIST scientists.

Please be aware that there are thousands of forensic experts who have relied on the NSRL over the last decade or more as a basis for testimony in court. Those experts verify hashes for everything they do, and for every case, and as a result there has been significant amount of independent peer review of the contents.

While Codehash.db provides a hash for a package, the NSRL provides hashes for individual installed files.

This in no way diminishes the value of the Codehash.db design. They target different use cases.

I can see all sorts of criticism leveled at ProtonMail, but this seems a bit disingenuous. They're trying something different than GPG, which had 20 years to prove itself and failed to gain any traction.

Sure, you have to trust their software, but is that fundamentally different than trusting the GPG software, or did you do a full audit of that?

It might not be great for political discussion, but just fine for people looking for discussions on their favorite TV show or programming language.
The problem here isn't a lack of training or culture. Properly "washing your hands" takes a surprisingly large amount of time. In practice people don't do it not because they don't know how or don't want to but because they can't. They simply don't have the time either in general or sometimes in a specific situation.

If you want to make a significant impact here, you would need to hire more staff.
if I say "fuck you" it's not really freedom of speech. I directly insulted you, I didn't even want a conversation, I directly harmed you.
People who think they can the "free speech" excuse for insults are just horrible, they don't understand that free speech is to actually say something in a nice manner which needs to be addressed not just to hammer on some people who do it wrong, that's a different thing and people actually don't get that right, probably because there is a really small line between insulting and objectonable speech, but still you know when somebody insulted somebody and he actually did, he didn't want to address his behavior he just expressed his meaning with insults and not any objectonable speech.

If I would've been banned, I would try to address that as well, but not in such a hateful manner than he did.
"I've thought about how to solve this problem, and I think the best solution is votes/time since the comment was posted. New comments will immediately appear at the top, since they have infinite vote/time ratio. But they will quickly fall to their correct ranking.
"

The traditional solution to this problem is wilson score intervals.

The real problem there is that most sites that use them only use one part of the bound, instead of using both.
Ideally, you use the lower bound to scale how good something is, and the upper bound to determine with what priority you show it order to get more votes on it to determine better bounds to be more confident of your lower bound.

This is what Google Moderator did, and pretty much never had these problems as a result.

(Is it perfect? No. You need a good place/way to show things for voting. But assuming you get that, it works very well in practice).

If you only use the lower bound, you get systems where you only ever become more confident in the scores of the things that show up first (like is happening here).

Less wide tracks = less comfort and less stability, as the trains will tilt left and right more rapidly.

Because passengers still would need to walk along the train, and that gangway is sized to accommodate humans with their luggage, you also would have fewer seats per square meter, or require way more doors per carriage.

> Perhaps speech could be translated to a string of word

This is already done, but probabilities are used to determine the best alternative.

So basically we ask

if p("which" | "Ding dong", "is dead") < p("witch" | "Ding dong", "is dead")
then print("witch")

Or basically, which of the alternatives have the highest probability given the context and we find a way to measure similar contexts.

This generally doesn't give us an understanding of the text.

They are now the top result for [encrypted email]. That seems to say that google does indeed think they are more than just a random provider.

Assuming the blog isn't blatantly lying about their position being lower just recently, it's proven that google did penalize them for a while.

As to the reasons, I tend to assume bugs or coincidences. I just can't see Google doing something like that on purpose, when they'd gain a minor edge in the webmail business at a huge risk to their reputation, a smoking gun for all those regulators poised to hit them with charges of anticompetitive behavior at the first opportunity.
because of preprocessing and needing to choose the functions that'll do the approximation - the process itself is semi-automatic, not fully automatic. ANN's inner nodes are specific functions that need parameter tweaking (after choosing the right ones that is) - vector machines have different kinds for different data, etc.

and those two things are very domain specific so you need to do a lot of homework first, and debugging later.
> As an Obama executive order concerning immigration, it is one of the things that Trump has promised to annul on his first day in office.

I don't know if you're referring to his "Contract with the American Voter", but it states cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama . IANAL, but I don't think this qualifies as unconstitutional.

Then, it would probably be very easy to realize a PR campaign showing the startup visa as a great way to bring jobs to the US, so even though I have no real answer to the question, it would sound rather logical that this visa plan is here to stay.

In terms of choices, high level play also has a tiny fraction of the number of choices in practice. However, this has nothing to do with why it's protected or not.

It does try to identify names, actually. Looking at the source[1], once it has used the Oxford API to find where faces are in the frame (and their approx age and gender, etc), each individual face is then also queried against the MS emotion API and an OpenFace[2] instance. Given the source, it looks like that instance is meant to be trained on staff members and report their organizational hierarchy.

What would be super neat would be ripping out the OpenFace query, and replacing it with a lookup via Facebook[3], so it could actually just show the names for anyone I was FB friends with.

it probably has, it probably has more free speech than america.
we just differ, between harm to people and free speech, we don't defend ourself that free speech needs insults to be successfull, (it doesn't).

Actually there was even a law case against 'Böhmermann' wo made a satire for Erdogan, actually it was pretty harmful but the law said it was a satire so he was protected.
There is a small line between free speech and being harmful and it also should be decided on a case by case basis, for some. But other people actually use our right to free speech to do harm and that is bad since that will sooner or later hurt our own right.

I calculated the mass a third time, this time assuming nitrogen was molecular. This yields an atmospheric mass of 29.1 g/mol, of which CO₂ represents 604 ppm by mass, squaring with existing estimates. Then replacing 100 ppm of CO₂ with O₂ lowers the atmospheric mass by 1.2 mg/mol, or 4.1E-5, corresponding to a yearly added mass of 2.1 Gt.

I've met some people whom believe that the more modern tools (such as Tensorflow) magically require little human input and make it so that you do not need to know/understand the mathematics and statistics. Not sure where they get this idea.

Whatever the case may be. I think there are plenty examples where situations escalated simply because the company ignored an urgent and justified request. I remember calling AppleCare and the poor guy on the phone admitted that there was a bug in OSX but had no means to escalate my problem further.

Another example is the recent Spotify bug, which did not receive any attention until the story made it to the top of HN. I think companies actually cause damages to themselves by not reacting sooner.
Their interpretation of meaningful play and how they interpret the whole meaning-from-signs thing, which is a ridiculously banal interpretation of semiotics.

It goes to show that what we really need from regulators is an enforcement of transparancy. Companies must explain their actions if they have a material impact on users/customers.

We see so many different cases here on hacker news that have one thing in common: Bad things happen and those affected have no idea why these things have happened.

It doesn't mean that companies need huge support organisations. I'm sure 99.9% of these questions can be answered by an automated system. Support can dig into the more exceptional cases and doesn't necessarily have to be free.
Beautifully written and insightful.

>>After much trial and error I eventually learned that this is often the case of a training set that has not been correctly randomized and is a problem when you are using stochastic gradient algorithms that process the data in small batches.

Take this single term from the above sentence: "stochastic gradient algorithms", they represent three key areas: statistics, calculus and CS.

These three things, even when they are to be studied in isolation are much complex. For ML, you must be able to juggle these 3 fireballs effectively. No surprise, it's much, much more difficult than many other software engineering problems.

Hum, I hadn't, but in retrospect I should have. I've done my share of Qt builds in the past and mkspecs path was often an amusing detail. Didn't solve the problem though.

But I think I found out at least one thing that goes wrong. I'll provide a github issue report later this weekend but here's the short version:

* The generated #cgo directives for CXXFLAGS are different for desktop and minimal files. Minimal is generated with -I$(QT_INCLUDE_DIR)/QtFoo include paths; desktop is generated with -I$(QT_DIR)/<major.minor>/gcc_64/include/QtFoo paths instead. So headers in desktop build are looked up from library directory paths (and with obviously bad path elements too).

* When building, qtsetup goes for desktop target.

More data coming in via github once I get the exact details sorted out.
