I was into techno, house and electro DJing for a long time. I'd say the best advice for enjoying djing is not to dwell on the technical aspects any more than they interest you. I'm rather out of touch with the current state of things, but I used to find progressive house DJs who obsessed over perfect mixes rather dull. When you're picking records think about how they'll sound in a club. People only care about your blends when they're really bad.

I dunno, just do whatever entertains you.

It probably didn't. I run brew regularly on my machine, and I did not get any prompt asking me to enable analytics. From reading other comments, I see lots of users are in the same position, and homebrew sneaked this in with just a two line notice buried in the verbose output. This worries me deeply, to the point where I'm considering removing this software from my machine.
Ask HN: How can I get an unbiased review of Google's new account features
Today I have a prompt on my android phone asking if I want to accept some new features for my Google Account. To understand it better I did a google search but of course all the results I got were very positive. Bing results aren't that different either. What is the way to find information on the web today that might be critical of google?
“But the plans were on display…”
“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”
“That’s the display department.”
“With a flashlight.”
“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”
“So had the stairs.”
“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”
electric transport is almost workable

By this I guess you mean electric road transport? Because we've had electrified rail for quite some time now.
Your comment kind of bothers me. Probably because it is both wrong yet says in a rather frank, matter-of-fact way that my argument is bad.

Well, you could just do a Google search for yourself to see why your reasoning is wrong. The problem with using a computer to play Go is precisely what I described, the extremely high number of permutations involved, and it's the same concept with chess (Go just has even more of them): https://www.wired.com/2016/01/googles-go-victory-is-just-a-g...
Thank you for clarifying. You're talking about retail speculators getting "stopped out".

Do you have a reference showing that is happening with increasing frequency due to HFTs? It runs counter to my intuition because HFTs lead to less "gappy" markets and markets that respond to news events more quickly. For the purposes of this comment I will assume that this is true.

Is the amount that retail speculators lose to increased frequency of getting stopped out greater than the amount they gain from tighter markets? I don't have a clear opinion on this.

Is the net loss to retail speculators greater than the net gain to all other market participants? I suspect not because retail speculators are such a tiny portion of the market.

If this kind of volatility has increased with HFTs, it's caused by an overly small tick size. Markets will go back to how they were if you increase the tick size back to 1/16 of a dollar. This wouldn't help price takers other than retail speculators, but that's how you fix it if it really is a problem.
It's not paranoia, it's simple understanding of history and human nature.
The code is, but the infra around it was, until recently, pretty slow (and scaled poorly). They can also take advantage of the optimisations in the tcp/ip stack that you get on the linuxes now that it's cross platform :)
It should work with VS Code, if you use a supported distro.
Having tried dotnet on Fedora (unsupported) it did not work. It works OK in docker containers, but then you don't have debugging...
I think the next stable release iwth new tooling and more supported distros will improve it greatly.
Do you "enjoy" one more than the other?

(I recently realised how important that is to me, so I'd posit that it may not be worth underestimating as part of the equation :-) )
How does your lack of trust for Homebrew make it worse?
So just because mickeysoft and other 'major' clouds providers as you say, have some certificates and a webpage where it says to play nice it's all good? Wow...

Based on your reply, I suspect most people wouldn't want to be hired by you, either...
github pitches that error all the damn time. Wish I knew why.
Quite possibly; I'm more familiar with Diablo 3 than Second Life, and had actually forgotten (if I'd ever known) that Second Life allowed RMT.

I think that supports my overall point though: This isn't new, and you don't need bitcoins to make it work.

Because liquidity is finite. Profitable investment opportunities don't scale indefinitely. When you discover that an asset is being offered for cheaper than what you think it's worth, pretty soon either you or others buy up all the cheap supply, and the price catches up with your valuation.

Mucky fat on a slab of bread is (or was) a staple in Yorkshire.

You get beef dripping from the butcher - beef juice with a top layer of fat - you then mash it together, and spread it on bread with a little bit of salt.

It's magical.
Closing all plants isn't the same as a ban though, technically. If the plants close because of e.g. poor profitability/tax penalties but without a ban, they are still free to reopen (or one is free to build a new one).
What's challenging about it from a design perspective? You just need a transparent display, which is a hard engineering problem (though being worked on as far as I know).
Then I'll consider it "soon".
Do you honesty believe that?

Maybe I'm too cynical these days, but I find it pretty laughable that a statement regarding 'data sovereignty' has any real meaning at all these days.

Unless you control the hardware, you have no idea what the hypervisors are doing on your rented vm's. The idea that national actors don't / wouldn't pull anything they want from them seems comically naive to me. Christ, we can barely trust our own hardware anymore with backdoored firmware crap, IME and such..

Realistically though, most companies don't care so it's not a problem if you keep the blinkers on; their compliance folks just want the document which says it's not happening and they'll never know when it does so who cares. Their ops folks can barely use the APIs probably, let alone contemplate the impact of someone reading the memory of my databases from the hypervisors.

As an individual and someone who cares for my data or that of my clients though, that's not enough for me, and I'd never trust tnese folks with any data, only mindless compute and serving public content...
Im extremely pissed off by the way they snuck the prompt in between several hundred lines of shell output on update. This is NOT being prompted.

I can live with the analytics. I'd might even consider to leave it on IF BEING ASKED PROPERLY.

All previous discussion says "oh you get notified". The point is, you don't get properly notified. And this is, why this is news again over the old discussion on HN.

* That Phone in your pocket? "No problem"

* Your internet-enabled TV? "All good"

* Open source project collecting usage metrics? "Woah, hold on there buddy"

Get some perspective.

They're completely transparent about which very limited usage metrics they use. You can inspect exactly which metrics are sent. And you can turn off these metrics if you want.

You're not paying anything for the product, and the analytics aren't being used to target you as a consumer, or to pitch advertising at you.

Simply by reading this page on hacker news you've sent more information to a third party than you would using brew.
If you're a gamer, there's tons of stuff on sale. On Steam you can get Doom for $20, and it is well worth it. I'm also binging on The Division which is $25 with an optional $20 season pass for some extra stuff. If you want something more low key Stardew Valley might be the ticket.
>Data is being sent to Google everytime you do almost anything in almost all websites, using the same technology. So what?

No, it is not so what. This is a major problem with Google instead. The fact that a single company can track majority of the web traffic is a huge risk.

They may have large batteries if they are electric cars, but it won't be for the GPUs.

The NVidia PX2 platform[1] - which is what the Telsa self-driving features uses[2] - is available in a 10W config. I presume this isn't the full self-driving mode, but the Jetson TK1 can do full image tracking and recognition in less than 30W (and that is a 2 year old platform).

There's ongoing development of Pyra Handheld PC: http://pyra-handheld.com/ . Not dirt cheap, though.
Node is for hipsters and JavaScript is a terrible language even now. Exception handling, threading, build tooling, modularity, debugging, profiling, standard library support.... Almost every metric I can think of is awful in js compared to .NET and Java world. Most of the devs saying how great js is don't know many other languages.

Rant aside, if you have any computational demand stay far away from js. Lack of threading support absolutely kills performance. The hacky alternatives are terribly slow, like using redis to share state between processes. Js is also still about ~10x slower than .Net or Java (and runs a single thread) which matters in hardware cost at scale. The only strength of node is the ability to run pages on the server. Great for server side rendering and testing, a step backwards for everything else.

That said, I would avoid .net core for now as well. We tried using it but it required us to abandon too many of our mainstay libraries and tools to be productive. Many parts of the standard libraries that you and other libraries rely on no longer exist. MS is working on this but for now I would definitely stick with regular .net.

Arguably best stacks for most use cases are Java (Spring boot or Jersey) and .net MVC using WebAPI. Plus Angular or whatever crazy shit you want for the frontend. Not exciting but extremely practical, well tested, well understood.

Yeah, you're probably right; it's overly harsh. I'm not sure I really mean it, but something about this attitude has really rubbed me wrong tbh so I'm not gonna take it back..

It's a free world, my overreacting and being a grumpy bastard on a HN thread probably isn't enough to make that call tho.
> The EU approach to privacy (eroded by lobyying and lack of control over US companies) is that citizens have a right over their information. They can ask what personal information a company has on them, ask that it be corrected or deleted. This has resulted in companies that are more careful with data.

More like, this has resulted in things like nonsensical "Cookie warnings" that only waste the user's time.
This creates more roads/rail from the ports (Gwadar/Karachi etc) to the inland (Islamabad etc), so it will help Chinese trade goods, which almost exclusively arrive by ship to the ports.

(Of course, facilitating trade is of secondary importance to the geopolitical aim of gaining influence in Pakistan by making it more dependent on Chinese money and less dependent on western capital markets or western multilateral organisations.)
We're watching node's support for the webkit developer tools closely but as their recent releases show, integrating with external debugging tools is difficult because V8 is always a moving target. There are also architectural differences that make it more difficult to offer debugging capabilities in Foxx, such as node being typically run as a single process whereas a typical ArangoDB installation will use any number of parallel V8 threads and incoming requests being load balanced accordingly.

We're constantly trying to improve the developer experience of Foxx, though, and the partial rewrite of Foxx for ArangoDB 3.0 was a big part of that, hopefully reducing the need for debugging by making the API easier to reason about.

During development I would recommend trying out the development mode and syncing your changes to the deployed service on the file system. For debugging queries it can also be helpful to run them from the web interface first and then use `aql` template strings in JavaScript instead of constructing the queries piece by piece.

> * AI beating a team of cooperating top pros, say top-10 humans vs AI (easy)

It is not clear at all that the cooperating team is more difficult to beatä

> * solving Go (hard)
Not only hard, but 'solving Go' it is beyond AI, and probably cannot be done.

* finding ways to translate insights gained from observing strong Go AI into real-life situations relevant outside of Go (my personal favourite; Go has that fascinating simple-meets-complex abstracting property [1])

Here I fully agree, as conan noted in another thread, stylistic factors are quite important, and the art-like approach is a thing in Go, so I would love to know "what the AI thinks about it" :)
Maybe even four or five. It's little because of the only USA now.
Not quite. The particular delay you are referring to in the movie was banks not correctly repricing illiquid assets when it would hurt their own position.

The accusation against the ratings agencies was arguably worse, it was that they wouldn't give bad ratings because the banks would go to a different agency.
Why just couple of decades? Its still quite peaceful here.
You shouldn't chase complexity; chase opportunity. For the same opportunity, a non-complex approach will normally be superior to a complex approach.
Opting out [0]

Homebrew analytics helps us maintainers and leaving it on is appreciated. However, if you want to opt out of Homebrew's analytics, you can set this variable in your environment:

export HOMEBREW_NO_ANALYTICS=1

Alternatively, this will prevent analytics from ever being sent:

I'm an ArangoDB team member.

We did a benchmark that shows you the performance regarding Neo4J. Before you shout that it made by us have a look, please. It's all open source. The data, the scripts and so on. Everything we use for it, we described in detail.

AQL is much more than a graph query language; therefore, Gremlin and OpenCypher aren't alternatives.
"For a medium-size web SaaS project with a roughly equal mix of computation and IO demands"...if you aren't forced to choose between these two, try Golang.
if google didn't correlate analytics data from multiple sources, it would be about as informative as a local piwik install, which is to say "not much".

Perhaps they don't "use" it directly, but surely they use it to improve their statistical profile of the specific users? Does anyone know if the GA cookie sent by brew is same or correlated with the one in the browser?
Not entirely. I've learned to read the word "cookie" in many different languages.
its mostly web server benchmark (Kestrel in .net case). So receiving bytes by OS kernel driver, passing them to http server, then to the app, app replies with simple response. Not so relevant to most of us IMHO, since our app code is like 10000x slower than web server can handle, but nice to see .net in first 10:)
By looking at computation speed (chess engine?), i would say c# beats Js easily there (should be on-par with Java, but Java has some neat tricks in JIT and can be faster in same cases).

But definitely new .net core feels so much snappier than full fx. Im currently porting few apps (they are simple, no big libs), and so far everything works fine. It took me awhile to catch up with MS changes, since they're iterating little bit to fast...
Using full vs 2015 update 2 + r#, and little bit of vs code on ubuntu (r# is still huge productivity booster, i can't switch to vs code yet). Also waiting for Jetbrains Rider, which will bring r# to all platforms!

5 Solid Reasons to Have Monsoon Weddings
if you want to raise a stink

If you have a judge who is not completly dumb he would laugh you off for such litigation. If you have a judge who still has his staff print out internet pages for him it might get compilicated for you as a contributor. Idiot judge already happened to me, that was an expensive lesson life taught me.

So no, I wouldn't risk sticking my name on something like that.

Because everybody else does it, doesn't mean you don't get away with it. (And over here the big boys google/apple can do a lot of things the small ones can't even begin to try - they have the advantage of getting before a "high enough" court with intelligent judges)

It's the combination of companies gathering ever more personal data and companies proving to be absolutely incapable to prevent leaking personal data that I find worrying even more than the direct spying.
They're completely transparent after they already took your data. Almost nobody notices that tiny notice.

If they were transparent, they would ask you before transmitting data.

Websites tracking you is expected. Local tools tracking you is not.
Look at the libraries available on either stack covering your project's domain, and any other scenarios involved.

And I don't just mean look at what's there! Look at how long it has been there, its version history (stability, major breaking changes etc). What kind of user feedback there is - look at their bug tracker etc, and search for it on Stack Overflow. Maybe even skim through their code, and think about what your attitude towards it would be if it was a PR for your project.

Then decide.

(This approach is generally applicable for any kind of "which language/framework do I use for X - Y or Z?" question.)
I'd go for a Java based language in the first place. It's been available on all the major platforms for years, and the community is huge. Dot net core isn't. That said, I would probably avoid Node because I tend to dislike coding in JS. But that's a personal preference, of course.

While your analysis is true, it only describes the effects which have lead to today's situation.

Here are a few causes:

* In late 80's US empire has definitely thrown international law above the board by organizing color revolutions, destabilizing other countries and waging wars

* US empire and its vassals (other NATO members) leave a trail of blood where ever they show up

* Officially, US military - despite its huge budget, infrastructure and human power - still has not (15 years later!) defeated "the terrorists"

* US empire has definitely destroyed its financial reputation in 1971 by unilaterally canceling the "gold standard" and, since then, the masks are off and US dollar is being printed/created in the computer at the speed of light, without anything but military might to back it

* World Bank and IMF - two institutions majorly influenced by the US - wreak havoc in South America, Africa, South Asia and South Europe

* Russia is getting back on feet after 2000 and US empire has no means to counter it

* US empire and its media have done something remarkable in the 26 years since the fall of the Berlin wall: In 1990 USA was a country with a great image, in 2016 USA is arguably the most hated country in the world

The world outside of the empire sees all this. And runs away from the bully who has ("long before Trump") made himself weaker by seeking refuge in those who show at least some respect.

Does Finland have a lot of coal anyway? It's easy to ban something you don't really have. Also easy for a rich country to ban coal use, but you can't expect poorer countries to do the same, especially if by coal is how rich countries built their industries. And now they are being told to get rid of coal and replace them with wind or solar power, usually conveniently offered by foreign companies.
