Correct, it's not about the role of the legal representative.

I agree that the terminology is not very clear, as customary of Chinese laws. It states that the physical person or the legal entity investing in the company must be Chinese, where the term you cited /'fa ren' 法人 refers to the legal entity (e.g. a company) and the legal representative I cited is the physical person investing in the company (the president or the owner, which if I'm not mistaken is the same guy who represents the company before the law).

Terminology aside, it goes even further. It even states that 工作人员仅限于中国公民 the workers of that company must be Chinese nationals!
No. There is no point where colonizing other planets is easier than fixing this one.

The importance of this step should not be underestimated. Hormonal and neurological phenomena can have huge effects on mental and emotional processes. It's socially accepted to joke about hormone-addled teenagers and "roid rage" (and, not so long ago, PMS), but then we act like the default is somehow to have no hormones at all, instead of admitting to ourselves that every one of our brains is marinating in a constantly-fluctuating chemical soup.
They really want to turn into a logistics company.

Amazon packs, warehouses, and delivers your package acting as payment manager, and customer service while hosting your IT infrastructure.

They want to sell pickaxes and do laundry for gold miners.

The part where Amazon isn't packing and shipping your product is a weak link – killing fake reviews helps this though.
I am all for net neutrality, but net neutrality is definitely regulation. It's the government saying that one entity cannot pay another for a service/good, classic regulation.

Will and Ariel Durant - The Lessons of History is a good short read. Probably flawed as well, but gives you food for thought.
Do you have to obsolete (not produced) thunderbolt displays? I have a macbook air and am trying to figure out how to do a two (external) display set up but have had trouble figuring out which monitors/set up would work for this. If you do use thunderbolt displays I'll keep looking for other solutions, but if you have a set up with another brand of display and could post your set up that'd be super helpful!

Uhhh. Yes.

> if he were to be serious about dismantling Net Neutrality, what would he have done differently than exactly what he's doing now? Beyond his most insane proposals (Muslim registration and internment/concentration camps, building a physical 2000 mile wall on the Mexican border) he seems to be making all the necessary, concrete appointments necessary to put the necessary people in place to follow through on his campaign pledges.

I have no idea. I see him walking back a lot of stuff, even before he's in office. I'm going to classify him as the used-car-salesman that says whatever he has to say to get a signature on the line below. I barely have enough energy to worry about all the things that do go wrong and have absolutely none left to spend on fantasies about more things that might go wrong. Getting old and tired, I guess...
Okay, tell me where I'm wrong: AFAIK you can buy a few hundred to few thousand dollar receiver that tracks the carrier phase, let it sit around for a few hours, and then with aggressive post-processing you should be able to figure out the right phase and know your location within a few mm.

Edit: And worst-case, you should be able to do an exact survey once, and then you can remember that and know which phase to use in the future. (Barring sudden multi-cm shifts, but in that case you have bigger problems.) You still have atmospheric fluctuations to deal with, but that's why you're measuring all day.
Sounds a lot like the OnTrac carrier in the Bay Area. One time they left a package for me at the Subway next to my building.

I stopped using Amazon same-day shipping (even when offered for free!) because it almost always used OnTrac and I would have about a 50/50 shot of actually getting the item the same day.

>That seems extremely anti-democratic to me.

Exactly, and it is supposed to be. We are a republic and not a democracy. The founders strongly opposed democracy. One of the reasons being that minorities would have no representation if your government is by majority rule only.
EU and centralization of power seem to be failing people all around. I expected hackers to like decentralization. I get it, you like all the foreign people you meet in London and visa free travel, but that's not all that matters.
Let me make something very clear - your threats are irrelevant. Anything you try to do will be quickly reversed or replaced. In fact there are already replacement reddits in place.
Reconstituting the same false equivalences over and over again isn't going to make the argument any more compelling. Really, you're just making the case for us. Two responses:

1. CNN misapprehended Spencer's comment, which wasn't about whether Jewish people are human, but instead whether members of the mainstream media are. The story wasn't fabricated --- it was misreported. Again: the media does not have to be perfect for us to reasonably talk about "fakenews", which is webspam consisting of entirely fabricated stories.

2. Here's something you will not see happening on fakenews sites:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3961672/CNN-Jake-Tap...

Look! A retraction!

PS:

It's worth adding that part of the uproar over this CNN chyron is because Spencer is in fact a white supremacist and does in fact have strong anti-Semitic views, and CNN was in part being accused of amplifying those views.
>Renaissance currently caps Medallion’s assets between $9 billion and $10 billion, about twice what it was a decade ago. Profits get distributed every six months.
The key to the system you describe is having the vote-punching machine right next to the vote-checking machine. That way if there's a hanging-chads issue you can catch it before it spoils more than a single vote. And the person just slides the vote down the 'discard' chute and gets a fresh one until they're happy with the results.

Have the checker mark the holes it detects with red ink or something, to make it clear to the user that the system detects their votes properly, and to provide a fallback. In the event another machine fails to count it, the user's intent is double-marked.

And then have the same style of vote-counting, where people manually scrutinize the votes, and have each party's representatives slide the votes into their counting machine. If the machines lose sync, you stop and figure it out at the point of the specific vote that fails to scan.
The irony is, places mostly controlled by Republicans will be bitten the most by weaker FCC. They are already plagued by lazy and sleepy monopolists and corrupted local laws written by them that prevent municipal networks and result in overpriced and underpowered Internet. Without FCC it will only get worse. So those who chose that will taste their own medicine.
i3 window manager - it has a fantastic optimized workflow that I love. I also pair it with a nice mechanical keyboard that has Cherry MX blue switches.

Arch Linux - I don't have to re-install or distro-upgrade my laptop every 6 months, or year. I just keep it up-to-date on a continuous basis. Arch Linux lets me keep things simple and clean.

I also regularly perform system maintenance, like removing packages I don't use anymore. I also never make install software, or use CPAN, or npm global install, or what have you, to screw up Arch Linux/
> This is essentially your pathetic argument. You should be ashamed of yourself

This breaches HN's civility rules badly. You can't comment like this here, and we ban users that do it, so please don't do it again.

Arguing this way is an old internet trope, but it's one that we need to be vigilant about not reviving here, if we want to have civil, substantive discourse instead of decadence. If you have a good point to make, it's not only possible to make it civilly, it will be stronger for it. Calling another user a "useful idiot" is also not ok (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13035349), euphemism or no.

It's clear that you feel strongly about this issue, but not allowing strong feelings to trump civil interaction is the essence of civil interaction.

As far as I understand heartbleed, the core issue was that you could search memory for the private key and then do whatever you wanted with it. With an HSM, that wouldn't be an issue. However, it's true that you could search for other data as well and that data could be sensitive, just not quite as sensitive (depending on your industry and architecture, of course).

It's worth noting that if you have anxiety around starting therapy, as I did, that many therapists can be contacted via email. In the US, there are trade publications like Psychology Today and trade groups like the American Psychological Association that maintain lists of practicing therapists.

Often the hardest step is the first one. If your anxiety is anything like mine is you may not even realize you have a problem. My anxiety has robbed me of so many opportunities, that I often wish I had started therapy in my twenties. It took me months of goading myself before I contacted anyone about it.

I'm glad I did.
It is anti-democratic by design. Founding fathers didn't want a democratic election for presidents.

I think a good example of what the electoral college is: you have a sports tournament. The winner isn't the person who gets the most points in all the games. It's the person who wins the most games.

I'm also using an "old" 13 inch MBP. I was hooking it up to two 27" 1080p monitors using a Matrox "Dual Head to Go," with Divvy hotkeys to make that easy to use. (Basically, I just had hotkeys to move windows to the left or right side of either monitor.)

I think I'm going to wait until next year to buy a laptop. I really want to see what Apple and Microsoft can do with a Pascal GPU.
The point is not whether somebody has ever tried to associate neural nets with probability, sorry if my previous comment made it seem that way. The point is that neural nets are not fundamentally tied to it. You can try to tie them to probability, but you certainly don't have to, it mostly isn't, it isn't mostly taught that way, and the big open problems in the field don't involve it.

Statistics works the other way. You basically always start with some kind of probabilistic model. And then, if you even bother with prediction, you work towards prediction from the probabilistic model. With stats you don't need to interpret or add probability after the fact, it's already there.

Obviously stats and ML are enormous fields, with quite some overlap. And people tend to go after low hanging fruit; if many people who studied neural nets have formal probability backgrounds it simply makes sense that someone will write a paper on it. And I'm generalizing here (same goes with frequentist & Bayesian comment). But there absolutely is justification for saying "neural nets are not really a statistical technique".
Hundreds of peoples lives are saved from PM10 toxicity, &c &c.
A consumer is already paying tax on the "utility" be it cable or wireless, its a line item on your cable/wireless bill. This tax is in addition to other regulatory fees local governments also collect from each subscriber. Why should the consumer also be taxed on the bits they move through that pipe they've already paid tax on?
I built a desktop with a quad core i5, 16gb ram, a GTX970, an Intel SSD, and around 2tb of spinning disk storage. The whole build cost around $700 and it's a very fast machine. I also have 2x 1440p 25" monitors, a mechanical keyboard, and recently added a (normal looking) gaming mouse. I use it primarily for programming/research and occasionally games/oculus rift. Also makes a great web server.

I run Ubunutu, with i3 window manager. I really like this combo after some personalization. It's very stable, and lightweight. I also have two Windows versions and a secondary Linux installation which come in handy.

I also have a 2013 15" rMBP of which I think very highly. I can mount my 2tb of desktop storage, and my SSD as a network drive on the MacBook for sharing files. I also use SSH to run intensive scripts (sometimes GPU stuff) on the desktop.

10/10 would recommend this setup
Quad-Core Haswell Xeon, 32 GB ECC RAM (server RAM is ridicously cheap second-hand). 27" 1400p, 19" 1280x1024 (not a good match, not used very often). Arch Linux, KDE.

Paid about 250 € for CPU/MB/RAM.

Previously: Phenom X6 1055T, 16 GB non-ECC RAM. The X6 was a pretty decent CPU for parallelized work, due to it's six cores, but pretty poor in most other regards. The Haswell quad is "only" 50 % or so faster on average in thread-heavy work, but much, much faster in anything single threaded and has a much more recent ISA (the X6 doesn't include AES-NI, for example).

Mobile: X200 bastardized with a X201 board. Qubes, KDE. Formerly Arch and i3. Didn't like i3's handling in Qubes.

My recommendation: don't buy hardware new. Especially since in the last years there is no real difference anymore between Intel generations. No need to pay a 100+ % premium to get Skylake, if Haswell performs essentially the same.

It's actually unfortunately normal and healthy to have extreme anxiety when you have no workers rights and its hard to replace a job. As working people we are forced to live with unprecedented levels of uncertainty. Life can be extremely punishing, I've seen both the mediocre and the extremely talented crushed beneath the wheels of the system sometimes seemingly at random. Abuse if the h1b creates artificial shortages of work to leverage wages down and hours up. It's not unusual to get used more and more as short term temporary labor the more experienced and capable you get. Other professions like teaching college pay poverty wages that cannot support a family. So much of the dignity of work has been annihilated to make things better for billionaires.
Hello Jean-Baptiste, first, thanks so much for VLC. Incredible contribution to keep the personal computing free.
I have a curiosity, is there any reason for not distributing officially the 64bits version? I guess it would very useful, as lot of heavy users have from 16 to 64gb of RAM. thanks again.
In that event, wouldn't it better to pull down the post? Better than edits, no?

Ask HN: Parents, how do you keep your kids safe on the internet?
I have a 6 year old daughter and she'd like to get her own computer. She has her own bedroom so if I don't set any rules I think she'd be spending a lot of time with the computer in her own room.

I'd really like to buy her a computer. What I'm concerned about is that sooner or later she'd come across the sites that could be harmful for her.

I don't think using web filters is the right way to go and I obviously can't spend all the time with her in her room.

Those of you who are parents, how do you handle that? Do you limit the time kids can spend on the internet? Do you restrict the computer usage to a common living area where you can follow what's going on?
Yes, but the problem is they are still actively encouraging so-called "private label" items.

I became a seller on Amazon two months ago, because I'm developing new (unique) products and I thought it would be simpler to have them distributed by Amazon.

But making said products is taking much longer than anticipated, so in the meantime, and as a learning process, I started selling one product in "private label" mode (ie, a product that I buy "as is" from a Chinese factory, with my brand printed on it). It's kind of selling, although the competition makes it hard/impossible to turn any profit (since all products are virtually identical, competition is on price and maybe listing quality/exhaustivity).

But what is amazing to me is that a service called "Amazon coach" regularly sends emails to encourage me to sell more PL products. Today, Amazon coach recommends selling a meat tenderizer on amazon.de: there are already over 350 different listings for meat tenderizers on amazon.de, how many more do they need???

Some time ago I used to regard the "ships from Amazon" or "Prime" logo as markers for quality, because I figured, somehow, that Amazon did some kind of vetting before accepting a product for shipping. That's completely wrong. The sign only means that the product is stored in their warehouse (and will therefore probably be delivered on time); but it has no meaning whatsoever regarding the quality of the product. There is zero curation.

Selling on Amazon is teaching me to trust Amazon less.

And of course, the ocean of similar products makes shopping much harder; meat tenderizers are not the worst case by far: if you're looking for a corkscrew in the Home & Kitchen category, you're looking at 2,500+ options on amazon.de alone... and 16,000+ on amazon.com!! Crazy.
Is this really speech recognition from raw waveforms? It looks like they're extracting MFCC features from the raw audio, and using that as input to the neural network. I thought that the point of WaveNet was that it took the raw waveform directly as input, unlike previous architectures which first extract spectral features such as MFCCs to use as the input.

in terms of keeping it running nicely, for me that means using fedora server edition with a custom selected Xorg stack and regular updates.

I agree, and also yes he admitted it, but isn't that worse?

There weren't any safeguards or anything to catch it on the reddit organisation side. It was only users noticing forcing an admission that means it's even a matter of record.
Even if you did create it initially I don't think that deletion would be a good course of action here.
Clearly, "fakenews" is a problem only some people have - otherwise, it would be considered a "problem" even before the election!

It's very similar to "election fraud" - before the results, when Democrats were confident they'd win, Trump warning about election fraud was branded a lunatic, a threat to democracy, now we have the same situation on the other side but suddenly it's "the right thing to do" (smart and trustworthy people, e.g. Nate Silver, have dismissed the claims).

The bias is obvious for all neutral people. If a problem is only a problem when you have it, it's not a real problem, merely propaganda.
I am not Alan Kay {IANAK}.

My take is that from Kay's perspective computing is a mixture of mathematical and biological abstractions [he has degrees in both]. Monads only touch on the mathematical abstractions and ignore biological abstractions. My take is that Kay may be of a mind that absent biological abstractions computing is diminished in its ability to solve important problems.
If you're using a Linux VM, is there a difference between using a Mac vs Windows?
The FCC commissioners are appointed by the elected president. Stating that they are unelected seems disingenuous to me, as it is diverting from the fact that they are doing their work on behalf of the elected official.
I run a multi-headed desktop, running Ubuntu 16.10 + Windows 10 simultaneously.

Specs:

* CPU: i7-3820
* Motherboard: Asus p9x79 deluxe
* Memory: 32GB DDR3
* Graphics: EVGA GTX 680 SSC + ASUS GTX 970 SSC
* 1tb Samsung SSD + 2x1TB WD Black HDD

The net result is that I can have both windows 10 and ubuntu running at the same time, with native performance and native graphics, native inputs for both operating systems. The 680 is dedicated to running the Ubuntu 16.10 graphics, and the 970 is dedicated to running the Windows 10 output. I have both cards outputting to multiple inputs for each monitor, so I usually run Windows 10 with 1 display and Ubuntu with my other 2, but I can use any combination, giving either OS all monitors. I can game in windows 10, press a key, and be surfing on Ubuntu 16 while windows does some pesky updates.

Highly recommended setup, but your CPU and motherboard must support VT-D virtualization. Most hardware does not support this. Look into /r/vfio.
How is that of any benefit then? I had no idea about that
I use a 2011-vintage 17" Macbook Pro. I'll maintain it as long as I can. Memory is maxed out and it has an SSD. It performs about as well as a new one would, plus it has a full suite of ports. Besides programming, I also use it for music recording and photo editing, so the generous screen real estate is very helpful. (Useful fact for those who love their old MBPs... Apple will do an "anything" repair for $300. They'll fix anything and everything they find wrong. I had my motherboard replaced last year that way.)

For the development itself, I do everything in Vagrant. That way, I get my nice Mac and nice editor (Textmate), with a predictable and repeatable build and test environment. I could just check out my code onto a different computer with Vagrant installed, and pick up where I left off.
