> The folks in Congress are right to set the national budget and priorities, but it is a good thing that the details of implementation are left to agencies, because they're the ones with the experience and technical knowledge to know how to achieve the objectives.

This is true, but only if the laws are passed with enough specificity that the interpretation is reasonably unambiguous. Otherwise it effectively allows agencies to write the law. But, yes, there's a gray area and where that line is drawn is unclear. But the "we need to pass the law to find out what's in it" of the Affordable Care Act is probably not how congress should operate.

> If, after the Snowden revelations, congresspersons in favor of widespread surveillance continue to be elected, that's actually a sign the American people are fine with it.

This is only accurate if people vote based on single-issues and/or if surveillance is one of their top few issues. It's entirely possible for people to be concerned about it but to be more concerned about military policy, the economy, etc., and to vote on those instead.

> If you think a law or regulation violates your rights, the correct avenue to address the issue is the courts.

That was exactly the point I was trying to make to the OP commenter. :)

You'll have to decide what an 'average' citizen is, first.
If they are in fact members of the Alt-Right -- which it seems none of them deny -- then I don't see why any further explanation is required.

The Alt-Right is an SPLC-designated hate group. They promote vile hatred against People of Color, women, Muslims, LGBTQ2s, immigrants, etc. I find it disturbing that well educated people could possibly believe a privately-owned company has some duty to serve as a platform for that filth.
Free speech should mean the right to be able to say the 'wrong' thing.

As an aside, Israel has nuclear weapons. They also sign-off on every US president. I don't think Jews need fear return of Nazis.
You aren't. Look at predictions about the future from 1916. They're the definition of quaint.

This is such a defeatist attitude, and it has also proven to be (mostly) false by Apple and its iPhones. If we stopped saying that every time there is a hack like this, perhaps companies would actually give a damn to make sure it doesn't happen anymore, or not nearly as easily.

It's one thing to pay from tens of thousands of dollars to a million for modification of a chip in a factory or with highly-advanced equipment, and it's quite another to just insert a USB stick into a random PC and hack it.
These are all true, and I'm not a liberal so I'm cool with this. There are things I don't like, such as your complaint about Twitter overstepping it's bounds. Hell, I'll even do you one better. Liberals love pipelining more people to prison, they love unnecessary voter registration beuracracy, and they love supporting institutions that keep the poor poorer and the rich richer. Racism is a bipartisan issue it's just that the alt right has been more vocal about their racism online recently while the left tends to hide it away while still quietly supporting it. Check out a trend dubbed "white feminism," it talks all about this
Kind sounds like Google BigQuery.
Google Translate is arguably improving substantially with this update. The state of machine translation in general has already been better than Google Translate. The problem with the bleeding-edge systems is that they are not well distributed, no thought has been given to UX/UI, and the people who created them just want to finish their thesis and get out. Also, speed - the systems that eke out another few extra percentage points on accuracy tend to hoover up the CPU cycles, crushing their business case.
Sorry good point. I was thinking about over the counter. My fault

600mg four times a day is inline with the BNF daily limit of 2.4g: http://www.evidence.nhs.uk/formulary/bnf/current/10-musculos...

Seriously the BNF is a brilliant resource, it has this to say about celecoxib: http://www.evidence.nhs.uk/formulary/bnf/current/10-musculos...
Probably the trend of using translators to edit machine translations will accelerate, but I can't see that as really of benefit to the individual translator.
Beyond that, you could disguise non-keyboard hardware as a keyboard.
Not exactly: if you've never seen a particular kind of feather before, you may not recognize it at first sight, but most certainly you'll sit, examine it and eventually acknowledge it's a feather -- the neural networks we're using aren't prepared to do this kind of analysis yet.
Making Hillary unpalatable was part of the alt-right campaign to elect Trump. #SickHillary and other ways of killing her trustworthiness were campaigns imagined and put into effect by Trump sympathizers.

> With Steve Bannon being appointed to the upcoming White House staff, there's been a parade of examples illustrating the blatant racism of alt-right figureheads.

I've looked at all the articles claiming that Bannon is "bad" (they use different words, of course), and I'm completely unconvinced. Seems like more of the "all Trump supporters are racist" meme.
> I recognize that otherizing an inevitable technology (ubiquitous connected vision) is taking the wrong side of history, but I hope my grandchildren make fun of my children for it.

I'm "otherizing" that technology because it's a fucked up, perverted version of what it should be. Instead of interconnected, interoperable tools we get shiny, vendor locked-in toys. Mostly useless, crippled by shitty apps and not working well with anything. I myself want to wear tech on my face, just not the kind of shit that companies want to make.
Looks nice, might just try it in my next project!

This really is one of the more ridiculous Clinton campaign talking points that just made them look very out of touch.

Pepe is a common meme template. Of the thousands of Pepes that I have unwillingly seen, none were neo-nazi except those in articles accusing Pepe of being a neo-nazi symbol. However, if you go to a deliberately offensive chan then sure, you will find every meme-template being used offensively.

Thank you for the quick reply. It sounds like the type of project we could use some day. I appreciate your work and kudos to the Clarity team on the release.
You're being intellectually disingenuous to believe that #killallmen is a legitimate threat of violence towards men. Find me some examples of violent feminists lynching and murdering men on the basis of feminist dogma.

Meanwhile, those with racist, bigoted, homophobic, and anti-semitic viewpoints continue to commit actual hate crimes, murders, campaigns of intimidation, and worse.

So yeah, you're making a typical strawman argument to deflect legitimate criticism and turn the conversation away from the topic at hand. Not worth engaging you further on this point, but if you want to discuss the topic at hand, I'm all ears.
Thanks for taking the time to explain your argument!

> None of the metrics in question impact Facebook’s billing, said Mark Rabkin, vice president of Facebook’s core ads team.

This is the point. Might not impact the billing, but might lead announcers to miscalculate which campaign to use, for how long, for which audience, in the ending resulting in bad contracts with Facebook. That will be billed correctly.
This is a great observation. I grew up reading books that said we would be living in torus shaped space stations and shuttling back and forth to the moon. As you pointed out, there was never any emphasis on computers in these predictions, just video conferencing at best.

The present is disappointing when taken from that perspective, but fortunately Elon Musk probably grew up reading the same books and dreaming about the same future.

It would definitely be useful to publish the research behind the design choices you've made. As a developer with not a lot of design experience that's something I would be interested in.

Ask HN: What's the best way to develop a RESTful API in 2016?
I know. Best is relative, pick the tool for the job, etc.

I just want to know what would HN users recommend.

Is the classic approach of handcrafting endpoints and permissions still the way to go?

Is there some new tool that easily abstract those common and repetitive tasks (routes, permissions, auth, etc)?

We've been considering ArangoDB with Foxx for our next enterprise project to be able to have relational document based data. Foxx seems to be a great tool for rapidly developing an API.

No, not at all. If you only showed it a bunch of pickup trucks in various colors, it would be really good at identifying pickup trucks. But if you then showed it a Prius, or a motorcycle, it would have no idea that it was looking at a vehicle. A human brain wouldn't have much trouble with that, though, because it associates more information with the vehicle idea than just statistical similarity to previously seen shapes, and can extrapolate without having direct previous experience with the object being seen.
I do not believe Apple will ever release another expandable/upgradable computer - mobile, laptop, or desktop.

We've accepted that Apple will never have expandable storage on an iOS device, but are still mourning the loss of it in Macs.

The desire for upgradability is driven by cost - either to get around Apple's cost-gate to get a larger RAM/SSD for lower cost, or to avoid Apple's cost-gate to upgrade later rather than buying a new device.

Apple has had great success with the luxury goods model: premium price for the base item, additional premium price tiers for incremental improvements.

What's the average citizen will be like? Will we be homogenous on the scale of the world? One contry? One region? Will there be classes? How they will interact? Will they consider themself one society after all? Will there be large groups of outcasts or lowlives?

Will the illusion of "middle class" finally evaporate? Will it then be a standoff between several equally powerful society sides? Or is it winner takes all, not having to consider any losers anymore?
Everyone knew it was a close election, and that the system we have is the system we have. It's not like the DNC was surprised by the electoral college last week.

People were blindsided because polling scientists treated the states discretely. What were the odds that Trump wins Ohio and Florida and Wisconsin and Michigan? This wasn't four separate battles -- it turns out that if he wins one of them, the odds are pretty good he wins all of them.
I think the word you're looking for is "familiarity", insofar as it describes a particularly efficient means of recognition. E.g. humans have become pretty good at identifying cats.

I don't see a fundamental difference between biological and electronic neural nets; so please take the following with a physicalist grain of salt. Imho, precisely because NNs will be fed with nothing else than the reality (physical or virtual) we live in, it should gradually develop the same familiarity as humans have; i.e. nothing more and nothing less than elements of our lives/civs. Visually lots of cats, lots of cars, mountains and coasts; functionally all the tasks we accomplish daily, like driving or cooking or cleaning.

I don't really think you can hard-code "human bias" as it's an emergent property of our biology: too complex (we don't really understand much of it, imho you're bound to miss the mark and induce subjective biases), and somewhat contradictory to how NNs are supposed to evolve (thinking long term here). Basically, I don't think it would be practical nor cost efficient to induce too much perturbations in deep learning, better work on refining the process itself. Think of plants: you can tweak the growing all you want, but the root deciding factors lie in genetics (their potential, and in understanding how to maximize it).

I realize another wording is that we should apply sound evolutionary (Darwin etc.) principles in "growing" AI at large. Because AI and humans share the same environment, we should see converging "intelligence" (skills, familiarity, etc). It's a quite fascinating time from an ontological perspective.
Yeah, we definitely feel that and want to address that use case. Some of that research is shared today in places like patterns and for every components (if you scroll enough in the page) but more research is coming in the next few days/weeks. We want you (as a developer) to be able to not just use the code but if you'd like, be able to fully understand the UX guidelines behind building a Clarity applications and go a step further by explaining why given the research/assumptions we have.
You should do a Show HN for this.
Every time I see something dedicated to POC, I can't help but think how the inverse would sound and how odd people think these days.

There should be no reason that "Black X thing" and "White X thing" should be perceived any differently, however, strangely, you'd never see a "White History Museum" anywhere, whereas "Black History Museum" is considered something which "should be".

Just a few hours ago I saw an ad for a new BBC documentary: "Black Nurses: The Women Who Saved the NHS", and this, again, really puzzles me. I wonder how people would react to "White Nurses: The History of the NHS" (Since historically, before POC came to britain, nurses would be white).

Usually, the "liberal" response I get from my more left-leaning friends is somewhere along the lines of "POC have been mistreated, they can't be racist, they deserve an advantage, they deserve more attention, etc.".

I find that a very facinating and disturbing view. One which is becoming more prevalent.

Why couldn't the museum be named "African Museum", or "Caribbean Museum", or "Rastafarian Museum", or something a bit less divisive and racial? Like, how can you have a museum about "black people". What does that even mean? A museum about things that "black people" like to do? Isn't that racist in itself? It's all so backwards and hypocritical to me!

EDIT: I seem to have stepped on a progressive mine! Don't worry, I won't debate the hive narrative again folks :)

>However, that really isn't appropriate when trying to train a neural net to recognise abstract images.

Or is it? Beyond the most simple shapes, humans heavily rely on context for image recognition. Maybe a neural net should do the same to be successful.
Even thinking of "whites" as "privileged" is racism. In reality, different people are different (shocker, I know). Obama's family (half-black) is much more privileged than many white straight men that are homeless. If instead of race you focused on circumstances that actually matter (bad family background, poverty, uneducated, jobless), you'd achieve much more.

I said worse. Popular? Maybe. His views and plans are abhorrent, however - him being president would result in more damage than Trump, I imagine (although it's hard to say - Trump has more variance as he has been less clear about what he wants to do and lies even more).
It seems the answers are pre-programmed because I drew just a car and it said "I know! It's a police car" even though I'd drawn no siren.

Also with the sweater drawing I'd drawn just a T-shirt accidentally then when drawing a long sleeve it said it knew it was a sweater when it could have been similar things.

So this demonstration isn't about it identifying the drawing correctly, it's just about saying when it's found something considered close enough in an overly-broad range of ambiguous things based on the answer it's been given already.

It did identify some partially drawn things, like a line or a circle or more complex things the partial drawing could have been, but the pre-loaded rigging made me stop the test.

I hadn't noticed that I could provide a gist. Just saw that it had Github/Bitbucket integration and went to try that out. I was disappointed when I saw how much control I'd have to allow in order to use that integration and didn't go back to see if there were other options.

Aside from being more thorough in my inspection of the site, it might help to make that portion of the site more obvious given how many people came to this thread and made the same general comment about security/permissions.

> The problem is that journalists are getting caught in a vicious circle. Either they present true news and have little viewers, or present gossip or echo what people want to hear and have lots of viewers.

I think the problem lies in that the assumption that investigative journalism, of the kind that is vital to democracy, must be profitable. But why would that be the case? And if it cannot be profitable, should we not institute good journalism as a matter of public policy?

In other words, let's return PBS and NPR to their former funding levels, when they could afford to have actual journalists and newsrooms and operate somewhat independently of the market.
