I've used a Jolla phone for almost a year but ditched it because the camera wasn't up to par for me. Besides that I really liked it, pretty good native apps for a lot of things and a fallback to Android that usually worked well enough for things that weren't available on Jolla (banking apps mostly).

The UI looks nice and is smooth and it's easy to SSH into the phone and write your own software in f.e. Python.

If you're really interested try to find a cheap second-hand Jolla phone.
Fair enough, but I don't understand what the big deal is. I'd try ads, affiliate links and monetising existing free projects myself. If you're going to make your interesting projects free, avoid ads and avoid affiliate links you're not leaving yourself many options. Would you have any income at all if you extended these ideas to your client work?
You still need to intercept a users' connection and redirect them to malicious JS with a regular Firefox. For the attack to work on a large scale you'd typically you do this by compromising an ad network and hoping you get enough users before SafeBrowsing blacklists you.

With Tor on the other hand you can just run an exit node and infect the user even if (s)he's visiting a regular site.
It can be more automated. Here's what I do.

Done.

I agree, although I always struggled to overcome their strong accents. Every professor and TA that I studied under had a thick accent, either Chinese or Russian.
I assume that because archive.org is a massive open public fucking website, not a closeted circle like what.cd, requiring invitations to even log in apparently.

I'll also assume that it's as easy to upload copyrighted material than it is to remove them for the rights owner.

You're totally right about the license of publicly available content. I handwaved over it, assuming that people still wouldn't mind backup by a tier as long as it doesn't damage them (and again I'll assume archive.org accepts removal when demanded... which I'm gonna check right now).

Gen Butler's indictment pre-dates not just the Vietnam War but WW II

Yeah, it goes as far back as you like. This is a great thesis, but people are viewing it as presenting a dichotomy by focusing on one side of the equation.

War is a racket. It's also necessary at times. Both things are true. The reason why we don't keep standing armies around and create huge military-industrial complexes around war is that the racket side of things tends to take over.
As someone who's configured and worked with almost all of the tools in this list, I can only disagree with you. The old saying of you get what you pay for is some what relevant. But the integration of the newer OSS monitoring tools is becoming increasingly awesome. Take The graphite/prometheus/elasticstack integration with grafana for instance.

I think having one pane of glass to do all passive monitoring tasks is an incredible step forward.

I am yet to see if the Active monitoring of Grafana is any good, but it does look very promising

OK, I get it better now. We are not forcing or pushing anyone to follow us if they don't feel like it.

I am going to share with you though the topics I am working on right now. I expect the first one to be published by Monday.

1. Well-structured repositories (What makes a repo well structured? Why should I do so? How can I do it?)
2. Why you should choose a traditional relational database as the main back-end of your web application, instead of an object store (e.g. Mongo)
3. When and why to choose TypeScript (or any other type-safe programming language)

If you believe that such articles are in your interest, then feel free to follow.

Thanks for your sincere comments. I really appreciate them and take them into account for the future.

P.S.: The above are working titles. Most probably they will be refined and shortened.
Seems pretty neat. Can't you build something like a gmail extension?
7 on average.

70% of my time is doing the same data analysis tasks I've already done a dozen time using models that are pretty much 'done', and that stuff is a 5-6.

The other 30% is developing and improving new models and techniques and that 's an 8-10.

Yeah, seems like Intel's been cruising easy. Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge, Haswell, Broadwell, Skylake, and Kaby lake have been pretty small increments for general purpose computing.

Does seem like AMD has scared Intel into over drive. Seems like all price points are likely going to get significantly more cores in the next generation after stagnating for what a decade? The normal high end desktop has been quad core since way back at the Q6600 in 2007. Desktops with 8 cores/16 threads and servers with 32 cores/64 threads seems to be Intel's answer to AMD's Zen.

Here's hoping AMD delivers on promises and is competitive.
Missed that. Thanks.

But I cannot see why someone would comply with that.
For example getting an AWS machine in Ireland, is that within the "UK market"? Does amazon have to comply just because many customers are in the UK? And will we ever know if they do comply? What a mess.
In French they call it "lettre de relance", try sending an email enquiring about the status of your application and re-confirming your interest.
If your friends are reasonably bright/open to discussion, but are making the "I have nothing to hide, so why should I worry" argument, and their genuine fear is terrorists blowing up their kids - I've had a little success with the "You might not have anything to hide, but others may." Then remind them that some people may be hiding things for good reason (fear of ostracisation/violence/death) as a result of social or religious reasons, and that if a list like this become public it could seriously affect _other people's_ lives, has sometimes made people take note. Obviously you have to choose your argument carefully.

Hi wingerlang,

Thanks for your comment. The first article will be published by Monday. A sneak peak on what I am working on right now for this blog is referenced at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13069757 as well:

1. Well-structured repositories (What makes a repo well structured? Why should I do so? How can I do it?) 2. Why you should choose a traditional relational database as the main back-end of your web application, instead of an object store (e.g. Mongo) 3. When and why to choose TypeScript (or any other type-safe programming language)

If you believe that these topics are of interest to you, feel free to follow us. It would be great to hear your feedback on our articles as well.

Thanks a lot!

Fann doesn't do DCNN, arguably the most important right now.
His competence isn't really the issue though. Even his biggest opponents admit that he's principled to a fault. He's spent his whole career rebelling against his own side on points of principle, attending anti-government protests and rallies, etc.

I wouldn't necessarily expect Corbyn to organise an effective opposition to this bill, but I would expect him to offer some opposition. For him not to do so is not just disappointing, it's unbelievably weird. It's the kind of unexplained weirdness that means you have to start asking what is going on, and what kind of pressures are being applied, in order to prevent him doing so.

This is exactly my experience. Cheap Chinese LEDs seem like a bargain until you discover they are not spec'd beyond "they emit light". The steep price you pay for CREE and other brand-name LEDs is for a product that actually lives up to its datasheet.
Brexit planted the seed, this pushed me over the edge. I'm done with this country, the amount of work required just for me to get on the property ladder even when I'm doing better than most people I know in the city is ridiculous and for what?
webrtc is a fairly bad start because it cannot establish connections to known endpoints (think address:port) or speak multicast for local neighbor discovery in a p2p network.

it generally relies on a signalling server or at a minimum on an exchange of one-time session tokens the user could enter for each connection.

it's not distributed and barely decentralized. it's more geared around a client-server approach where some of the traffic is offloaded to peer-peer connections.

compared to protocols like tcp and udp it's incredibly crippled
If you know Chinese, I will suggest you watching the videos of the release events. That's a very popular event in China since the speech skills.
The romanisation part is ridiculous, but pops up all the time.

English and French spelling is as far removed from each other as anything. Anybody learning a foreign language will have to come to terms with the fact that the letters work slightly-to-moderately different for each language, whether those are European or Asian languages. Danish and Swedish are practically dialects of each other, but the spelling and pronunciation are miles apart. Trying to read one with the usage of the other will sound as stilted as any transliteration of any "non-alphabet" language.

Alphabet is the only official way to type out pronunciation of mainland Chinese, so trying to avoid the alphabet for Chinese is basically impossible.

Vietnamese, like several other Asian languages is Alphabet with diatrics, so again, you have to use Alphabet. There is nothing magical about Asian languages that gets contaminated by the Alphabet.

As for Japanese, the kana alphabet can be transcribed to Alphabet without information loss, so it is in no way a poor substitute. You also have to learn romanisations in order to type on a keyboard.

The bottom line is, you have to learn new sounds when learning a new language and you have to learn new spelling. shi in Japanese or Chinese are quite close to English, at least compared to how close ta is to the English pronunciation of "shi", so the alphabet acts as a nice mnemonic structure for learners.

In The Netherlands nobody had anything to hide, like the Jews around WW2. It was all neatly recorded who was a Jew and made things a whole lot easier for the Germans once they got their hands on the records after they invaded.

Sometimes using other build tools can seems simpler, but the article shows very nicely how make can be incrementally constructed to support any kind of project.

Lack of cross-platform compatibility could be an issue though
WASM will be here soon, and from that point on we can elegantly compile from any language to the browser platform.
Exactly. And think about private keys for SSL certificates. I'm not even sure if those are covered by the legal wording, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were.
Hey, sure - here's 9 lines of code that implement a perceptron. I get ~95% of precision after a second with 400 samples.

```js

const dotSign = (v1, v2) => v1.reduce((prev, x, i) => prev + x * v2[i], 1) > 0 ? 1 : -1

module.exports = (data, weights = Array(data[0].content.length).fill(0)) => {
for(const {label, content} of data) {
const delta = (label - dotSign(content, weights)) / 2;
weights = weights.map((x, i) => x + delta * content[i]);
}
return { perceive: vector => dotSign(vector, weights), weights };
}

```

I can upload an electron app that does this with mnist if interested.
Labour are currently scared to be an opposition in case they get on the wrong side of public opinion and increase their political losses further.

Anything that can be spun as anti-British (i this case making it harder for security services and the military to "do their job") in the current climate is not a battle they want to fight unfortunately.
It's incredible standard library is probably the thing that motivates me the most. Beyond that, fast builds, good package availability, easy to compile for multiple platforms and great community support.
Strange that they don't mentioned CSS-frameworks like Bootstrap or Foundation.

Since I found them, my direct use of CSS went down a lot. Often I can simply develop an application and buy a finished theme or let someone create one for me.
Deep Learning (DBN) from the ground up
The whole of your second point is ridiculous conspiracy theory. It is perfectly reasonable to do enough formal verification to ensure that your chip works first time. Linux is not going to "stress" your chip more. And nobody deliberately cuts out a viable market sector unless they've got another product to put in it.

On-chip SRAM is just expensive in terms of area. It's comparable to what you get on Cortex-M devices. There are no chips with enough onboard SRAM to run Linux. You can't really run Linux without an external DRAM interface, and then you have to find somewhere to put the DRAM. People keep forgetting about this on the Pi because the DRAM is stuck on top of the SoC package.

Sure, maybe if this is a success they'll pay the licensing fees for a DDR3 interface + MMU, or write one themselves. I think you'd also want at least 600MHz for Linux, 320 is kind of slow these days.
They've had similar problems with Windows 10 updates and other security measures. Yes, it's a headache.

While the US has not directly committed genocide...

So what we did to many native American tribes does not count as genocide?
Yeah, Microsoft donated both individually and as part of the Core Infrastructure.
> Does seem like AMD has scared Intel into over drive. Seems like all price points are likely going to get significantly more cores in the next generation after stagnating for what a decade?

Another factor might be that the software industry is finally adapting to multi-core being the new normal. I mean sure, server software's been forking or multi-threading for ages, but I get the impression the bulk of desktop software did most of its work in a single thread until fairly recently - so having more than 2-4 cores wasn't really worth it, it would just have increased cost without making things feel that much faster for the average user.
On the subject, if you've ever wondered what would happen if the US military were to invest millions of dollars into testing all kind of things from sarin to their version of super-strong LSD on volunteers (and, generally, why there was an actual queue from enlisted men to sign up to be the guinea pig for chemical weapons!), I recommend Ketchum's book about his time in exactly such a facility [1]. There's a wealth of data and analysis on the impact of many psychedelics on humans, both at large doses and for long term exposure.

The anecdote that stayed with me was the guy who liked to show off the relative safety of liquid VX (yes, the nerve agent) to new arrivals by dipping his finger in it then rinsing it with water. Different times.

I am in a agency like scenario where all the clients have their own AWS infrastructures (sometimes multiple) and I have to juggle between those all the time. What I really would want is an account picker for myself: the default console login page is terrible and it's barely manageable with LastPass. Switching between incognito windows only goes so far too.
I would like the crypto-experts of HN to help understand what consequences this has. For example, I have whatsapp with E2E encryption. Can the government read my texts now?
Still, I'm not sure how that will work.
Say I spawn a VPS, and I start my VPN server in there. Can Amazon just go in there and snoop somehow?
My keys are encrypted, even if they can see the disk they are on, and the traffic also.
All it can do is see the network traffic that originates from that machine, and log that.

As long as there is no theory on dark matter it is not an explanation for anything. It's more a placeholder for a mechanism we don't understand. The best hypothesis so far is, that there is matter that doesn't interact electromagnetically. But this explanation shouldn't be confused with a theory that actually explains what is going on.

I do find such a law quite strange though. The intention (at least for public consumption) was to help "prevent" terrorism. Not sure how the NHS or health services seeing your browser history will do that.

France already has a similar law in place so I wonder how that worked out for them by preventing the Bataclan massacre. (it didn't)

This law will probably not help in any shape or form to prevent terrorism but was merely implemented to provide some form of leverage over people.

Multithreading usually means that threads share the address space and so can (inadvertently) stomp on each other's "errno". (Hence making it Thread-Local Storage to solve that issue. Doesn't solve the reentrancy issue, though.)

If multithreading were pervasive nobody in their right mind would choose to use a global variable for error status codes.
