that's a fundamental misunderstanding of marketing. you probably subconsciously remember some of the ads, and even assimilated some of those messages into your psyche without realizing it. these probably manifest in ways like when you want to buy something and can't help but seem partial to a particular brand even though you're not sure why.

How high-functioning technologies can connect employees at every level
We now have access to Human Capital Management (HCM) systems and high-functioning technologies meant to connect employees at every level to their support system in human resources (HR) and other areas across the company. Organizations have their pick of these HCM solutions with incredible capabilities designed to better enable and empower HR and finance teams, making the decision of ‘which is the best’ for your organization a challenging one.

I'd go with Python and specifically the scientific + numerical libraries. There are books like "Python for Data Analysis" from O'Reilly.

Five years ago I would have said "R", but Python enthusiasts have been replicating what R does in Python at a frantic pace, and R will never really replicate what Python brings to the table.

If it's multiplayer, you could use Node along with something like socket.io to handle real time communication between players.

You could maybe, possibly, use WebRTC for peer-to-peer communication if you don't mind excluding anyone running Safari and IE. But with a game written in JS and running in the browser, it seems like it would be too easy for someone to modify the code and cheat without a server side component at least trying to verify that everyone is behaving.
The information is available just not to a larger group of people.

Opening up stuff in hardware is just miles behind software. That's all. Also a lot in open source software is driven by people that realize the benefits from both an engineering and a marketing perspective. The gap between these skills is even wider in hardware.
This just supports what I said. Not sure you looked closely enough. BitKeeper uses SCCS format on the wire, which didn't need to be reverse engineered as it was a known format.
As someone who is woefully uninformed about ML and CV: in a case like this, is the computer simply given the bitmap/vector graphic and left to learn how to interpret the data as lines and shapes? Or is there some preprocessing done to transform the data into something more "ML-friendly"?

Both chips contain a CPU from ARM, so far so good. For the rest of the chip allwinner uses modern, well documented and battle proven components mainly from ARM.

I still talk to one person regularly on ICQ. I just wish they would add some encryption. :(

edit: It says in the article that they do use encryption. However, the official website states something different:

This. A carbon tax avoids creating a million regulations for every place where we could save energy, because companies who spend too much carbon will just have fewer money to keep going, and you'd just have to compare the price of things to know which ones are less ecologic. Besides, the tax can be used for ecologic projects, or can be used to reduce other taxes.

But every time I try to explain it in France, I'm answered "But you don't realize! Poor people won't be able to afford a car or meat and they'll be the first ones to go bankrupt!". Which is why I say: Fusionning socialism and ecology in France, where all ecologist groups are leftish, badly hurts their work. A right-wing ecology who isn't adverse to capitalism would come up with a CO2 tax with success and actually do something against global warming.

Ask HN: How to promote my dev team?
I'm a frontend developer in a team, which covers full cycle of development from design to deploy.
We met each other in university and united while working in one local startup.

Unfortunately this startup didn't come to success, but it gave us an experience
of building and launching online services. Also a chance to learn on founders' mistakes.

One by one we started freelancing and each achieved some success there.
But freelance has a very low limit of possibilities. Most of projects are short-term
and pointless — definitely not the best place to apply our skills.

Recently we decided to combine efforts under own brand. For now, most of projects still
comes from our accounts with nice stats on Upwork. We successfully launched several
services together. But that's evidently not enough because clients usually comes on Upwork
to find (cheap) individuals, not a high-end team.

So, there is an experienced team of developers, which can quickly build and launch
reliable online services using bleeding edge stack.

What is a right way to find clients?

well let us all be honest here, laptops have always been difficult to repair if at all regardless of manufacturer due to custom parts required just to meet the form factor. Desktops only if your not an all in one design are repairable if that is describable but costs of new hardware being so low its usually for many to just replace the whole machine.

Your point 'they tried to create a new accessory': why is a tech company trying to create an 'accessory' that nobody wants, and is completely out of their domain?

Snapchat is very intelligently extending their brand and user experience a little bit. Google was pushing tech.

Things that we wear, are part of our culture, they are about fashion, trends, and to some degree functionality.

Google his a tech company that has absolutely no clue how to do consumer marketing - this is evident in almost everything they do.

When they provide a high degree of utility - then they win - they should stick to that.

Snapchat is doing it exactly right. And there's no reason to believe that in a few years, the Snapchat glasses won't be as powerful and 'app-ish' as the Google glasses.
I'm not a fan of translating the 'meaning' instead of the actual wording. You lose idiom, phrasing, even the poetry. Its like I won't understand what they said, so it gets dumbed down. Like talking to a child.

The fact that you have to plan your disk and RAM configuration years ahead is really annoying. Especially for a laptop that's on the high end of the price range.
Because we (not we as in the people but ICANN or whoever's in charge) are allowing corporations to use trademarks as top level domains. While before the top level domains belonged to countries or were general, now they can also be populated by those rich enough. Personally I see it as brands encroaching on a previously "public" space. Would Google allow me to register fuck.google or anything that could damage their brand? I highly doubt it. I wouldn't find it so bad if any joe schmo could create their own TLD, but this is an instance of allocating address space to the most powerful and letting control it as free advertising. It's not a technical problem by any means, but I see it as a moral one.

I think viewing the HFT tax propoals as being motivated by anti-nerd rather than a out accumulation of wealth that is perceived to be at the expense of people like the tax supporter where the tax supporter fails to see the social utility of the function producing the accumulation of wealth is, well, a significant case of seeing what you want to see rather than what is actually there.

As someone learning Chinese, I can sympathize with Google Translate. Spoken Mandarin doesn't give you nearly as much context as more modern written Mandarin.

oh come on. tell me how many samples of a multi century phenomenon like the arctic ice do we have ??

less than 40 samples ( years )

i have read all the literature and it is not convincing.

we've been warned variously about ice extent, ice age, ice thickness, time of refreeze. Most have shown 'recovery' from any perceived low points, so the alarmists have to switch to a different measure continually.

but again we only have 40 samples and then ice core measurements.

ice core measurements are prone to both the sins of commission and ommission. commission in cherry picking "just so" locations like ice shelves for thickness measurements. and ommission for conveniently ignoring samples that dont fit your agreed outcome
You implicitly (and I think without realising) presume objectivity + complete knowledge in the observer.

Human perception is heavily biased towards features that had evolutionary advantages, and limited by whatever technical flaws our eyes/brains/etc have. That's a selection bias in our perception of information, in our processing of said information, and therefore in the abstractions that result from it.
You might want to ask that within the time limit that editing is possible, if you sincerely want someone to do it.

I'll retract "you're a Nazi sympathizer" simply because that much is obvious already by his posts, repeatedly criticizing the Allies and highlighting Allied "atrocities", openly supporting Nazi ally Japan and claiming it was more humane than the Allies, being dismissive of Allied casualties while grossly exaggerating German victims of the Allies, while also ignoring victims of the Nazis (who made up the bulk of the dead in this raid).

Just as Holocaust denial isn't literally saying the Holocaust didn't happen, being a Nazi sympathizer is not about shouting Sieg Heil, it's about picking away at small things here and there. Minimizing or ignoring the crimes or victims of the Nazis (which he did), emphasizing the offences of the Allies (which he did), posting misinformation and/or lies (which he did). All textbook far-right/neo-Nazi tactics.

I don't expect much from far-right members of HN, but the double standard here couldn't have been made more obvious to me in the past week. The other day a post of mine was flagged simply because it mentioned an undisputed fact of history that the far-right don't like people to know about, and it had so many upvotes it could not be buried in downvotes. So it was (abusively) flagged.

This guy makes a false claim about the Dam Busters raid (claiming thousands of German civilians were killed) - meaning he either did not read the link he Googled just before posting (it's simply the first result for "German victims of Dam Busters raid") or he did read his link, and did have a clue about this topic he was trying to pontificate on, and decided to lie about it anyway - and not only was that false version of history upvoted by certain people here, my correction of it, quoting the actual article he posted and accurate facts, was downvoted, because those facts don't align with the far-right bias of some people at HN.

Maybe Trump's victory and the rise of fascism in Europe has made right-wing extremists here bolder, as they are elsewhere on the internet, or maybe HN has always been a haven for ultra-right tendencies, but it's turning HN from a site that supposedly emphasizes factual information into just another far-right propaganda site.
Factor in the cost of being wrong. That's the chilling part. "We're all going to die!" "Ha ha, I doubt it, lets just continue on down the same path because maybe we won't die."

In my case, the problem went beyond that. They put in patch that made the BLE transmit out of spec. Plus their lack of support added at least 3 months to our launch dates. We had everything in place but couldn't launch because of Wifi RF issues that was not documented. Long story short, overall the savings was not worth it. It cost us more in R&D, NRE as compared to BOM.

You know how we were discussing the "fake news" problem? In the comments here we have the reason why it's so popular: people are not interested in facts, especially if they're inconvenient for their lifestyle. And now HN is uprooting climate change denial.
That regulation is stifling innovation is in no way obvious. It is a commonly repeated talking point but I am unaware of any factual arguments that back this assertion up.
In Deep Learning, you can feed the raw pixels into the network and it will interpret the data as lines and shapes ..

The only preprocessing done is likely size reduction - the QuickDraw canvas is quite high resolution, so it's probably scaled down with (just linear interpolation)
Under our old management I had to fight tooth and nail to get security problems in production prioritised over things that might make money, and I caved in far more times that I care to admit (too many times I threatened to hand in my notice over it, and backed down due to promises of change and/or guilt trips about leaving my colleagues in the lurch).

Luckily the current regime seems to take a view far closer to mine, hopefully that will last beyond the current honeymoon period.

> If anyone has advice, I think this is a great thread to share thoughts.

The problem seems to be more-or-less endemic. Often the only solution is to break ranks and do the right thing against orders, or up sticks and go elsewhere, but these are very high risk strategies that most people wouldn't be able to justify when there is a mortgage to pay, especially as there is little chance the next place is much better.

In any software program, how you model the data tends to be at the root of all else in the program. If you screw that up and make it complex unnecessarily, you will have an inferior program. You can put a bad UI on a good model, but you cannot expect much stability from any UI on a bad model.

It's just like the movies. You can make a bad movie from a good script, but a bad script never, ever made a good movie.

https://youtu.be/YoxJFkFzu98?t=1h56m49s

It scratches an itch that is hard to find in the real world (I do enjoy packing our cases up for vacation though).

I think it's something about the immersion, pulling on your focus so hard that you loose yourself, like a good book.

VR is all the things you compare it to (wrt pulling focus) except it's on tap.
Ice is melting that has been around for millions of years. What other data do we need? We only have one planet; all data collection can be labeled "cherry picking". That just isn't a productive line of reasoning.
