Dear Santa...
Yes agreed, but the real question is why can they guarantee that your item will ship sooner if you select one-day shipping. They can conveniently get your item on the truck much more quickly (1 vs 3 days) if you are willing to pay extra for one-day shipping.

For example for the boots:

One-Day Shipping -> 1 day of processing + 1 day of shipping = 2 day turnaround

Two-Day Shipping -> 3 days of processing + 2 days of shipping = 5 day turnaround
I'm a big fan of Boosted, but I wouldn't put them on a holiday gift buying guide. Shipments have been halted for a month due to a quality issue, and even if they fixed it today, the waitlist is so long there is no way you would receive a board this year.
They don't usually "Fork" much of kernel, they (mostly) just have drivers(modules) outside it. When refactors happen to kernel internals, they don't happen to external modules so it is hard to get them up to date with the latest version. Over time this gets worse and worse.

That said there are often some small changes to the kernel itself, which are also an issue. This is more common if the hardware implements something new that hasn't really been standardized in the kernel yet.

Indeed. In which case no one should be surprised when the "rest of humanity" doesn't get behind the colonisation effort as enthusiastically as some.
Their claims basically are that hard drives are cheap and cost drops and that domains and users are simply a configuration change (which is automated).

They're charging based on something that actually has an impact. Sending emails incurs in a load as well as receiving one back (you probably are getting a response) and work that the emails may incur. The more emails you send, the odds of needing a clean IPs in case something happens (blacklist is the first thing that comes to mind) on the amount of emails they send, dealing with blacklists is something that statistically will happen the more emails are sent as well. So they charge you by the impact each email sent has and for the cost of hard drives.

I guess they're charging more on a probability of the time they need to work on it the more emails are sent. There is a cost associated with developing the code, sure, but the more people, the less it is per person and once it's developed, it's only new features and maintaining.

It seems they've set it up to scale and it seem they have a lot automated. I'm assuming this based on this:

According to our trials, it would take us up to 30 minutes to setup a completely new infrastructure and get all clients back live.

According to the affiliate link, you get up to 50% of what a user you refer pays (if you give a discount, it comes out of your share of the price). So it seems like they've made the math and it looks like they can at least break even, ideally they still see some revenue, with only earning half of what they charge.

It seems very well structured and organized. I'm testing it out. Paid for a year. If I transfer everything (a couple of domains, but only a handful of accounts. Maybe I will end up setting them via aliases...) I may upgrade just to give back. I had been looking into OVH, Rackspace, FastMail, Google Apps, etc and hadn't switched because they charge for everything...

A Guide to the Datomic licensing changes
Complete nonsense.

Most small boys (and some girls) are fascinated by tools, that's why there are play tools in toy stores so kids can pretend to be a construction worker or suchlike. Conversely I enjoy playing with magnets but I also find them useful for visualizing complex problems and as artistic tools for texturing paint.

Maybe you didn't find physical tools interesting as a child but it's fallacious to assume that no other children do when there's abundant evidence to the contrary.

Brython: Python 3 implementation for client-side web programming

Npte though that id hasn't really created an influential game in 15 years and arguably the game of the century (Minecraft) was programmed, badly from what I hear, in Java.

Both.

The pseudocode for FNV looks like this:

hash = FNV_offset_value
for each byte_of_data to be hashed
{
hash = hash XOR byte_of_data
hash = hash × FNV_prime
}
return hash

The pseudocode for seahash looks like this (with '×' as the wrapping multplier operator, and some simplification for padding if the data length in bytes is not a multiple of 8 bytes per word × 4 words in the hash state):

hash = {offset_1, offset_2, offset_3, offset_4}

for (int data_index = 0;
data_index < data.length_in_64_bit_words;
data_index = data_index + 4_words_in_hash)
{
for (int hash_index = 0; hash_index < 4; hash_index++)
{
// Mix in data
hash[hash_index] = hash[hash_index] XOR data[data_index + hash_index]
// Diffuse
hash[hash_index] = hash[hash_index] XOR (hash[hash_index] RSHIFT 32)
hash[hash_index] = hash[hash_index] × seahash_prime
hash[hash_index] = hash[hash_index] XOR (hash[hash_index] RSHIFT 32)
hash[hash_index] = hash[hash_index] × seahash_prime
hash[hash_index] = hash[hash_index] XOR (hash[hash_index] RSHIFT 32)
}
}

result = hash[0] XOR hash[1] XOR hash[2] XOR hash[3] XOR data.length_in_bytes

result = result XOR (result RSHIFT 32)
result = result × seahash_prime
result = result XOR (result RSHIFT 32)
result = result × seahash_prime
result = result XOR (result RSHIFT 32)

return result

FNV is operating on bytes of data, while seahash is operating on 64-bit words. A modern processor will be able to handle 64 bits at once. True, it can probably handle 8 bits independently in one instruction without having to create a temporary value, but it still needs to do more operations.

FNV is completely sequential. Until the first byte is hashed, no work can be done on the second byte. In seahash, as you observed, parallelism can be exploited. The second, third, and fourth bytes are all completely independent of the first byte, as bytes 6, 7, and 8 are independent of byte 5, and so on. You can have four independent threads each do a quarter of the work, and then put the result back together at the end.
> It boils down to their claim the Alt Right is anti-Semitic, when that's only the small portion of it that's the Alt White vs. the vastly larger Alt West

Your own description of the view of your own "alt West" faction is that it holds that Jews should be excluded from society outside of the State of Israel (this type of separationist -- as opposed to either extermination or subordination in one state -- view toward disfavored groups is typically what distinguishes white nationalism from white supremacy); which is quite anti-Semitic even if it falls short of exterminationist. So, no, anti-Semitism clearly isn't restricted to the faction you call "alt White", though it's quite possible that they are even more rabidly anti-Semiotics (I'm guessing your "alt White" label refers to the subgroup holding outright white supremacist rather than merely white nationalist substantive ideology.)
What's amb?
> I'm curious if you could recommend some alternative sources for news?
Most of the stories are readable for free in an incognito window if you google the article's title.

> Every media source has bias - is the NYT really any worse than others?

The NYT is far worse, simply because great measures are taken to make the content seem like actual unbiased news. Nobody minds editorial content on the editorial page, but the NYT has grown increasingly bold with its "narrative" where stories serve to reinforce a predefined worldview, which is essentially a form of propaganda.

The paper runs a small number of actual unbiased articles, and a small number of quality stores about progressive causes, but those serve to help disguise its true nature.

Ever since the Judith Miller fiasco the paper has gone down hill. What was previously simply omission of newsworthy content has become outright promotion of ideas.

I suppose one explanation is that the NYT has "fans" of a worldview who simply want to pay for a specific narrative. That's fine, I guess, but it's not actually news.

* Riak, Couchbase, and Infinispan are now legacy storage and only available through Datomic Enterprise.
Wow, definitely post more info on this if you can. I had no idea about this. I want to take the class, but can't shell out $3000 for a side project.

If you've spent $1000, got 20 clicks and 0 sales, then either your targeting or your ad or both are piss poor.

I have made quite a lot of money (and lost quite a lot in the beginning) advertising on Facebook ads in the past. Just because you have a lot of experience with Google Search PPC doesn't mean you'll have success with Facebook, and visa versa. It depends very much on the product, how broad or niche the appeal is, the price point, the approaches you've tried.

You need to know the target demographics of who your customer is, and Facebook is one of many cost effective avenues to reaching certain types of people. You need to be creative in creating great ad images, ad copy, a good landing page, and measuring actions that tie directly to increased revenue.

These are all basic common sense things, but I have yet to see someone's campaign that didn't have some obvious flaw that set them up for failure. There are a lot of ways to fail and only a few ways to succeed.
My random parenting advice from the internet: if it's not a good toy, it doesn't matter how STEM focused it is. If it's a good toy, then it won't hinder a young STEM oriented mind and it will still be a good choice for a non-STEM oriented mind.

My experience is that most STEM toys are designed to appeal to adult anxiety over their child 'not getting ahead' more than to appeal to children's play instinct. Most educational toys sit in closets unloved. Actually that's true for most toys with an adult agenda.

Part of it is that 'not getting ahead' anxiety encourages buying toys that are more likely to appeal to an older child than the child for which they are purchased: A chemistry set for an eight year old is going to work for a one in a million chemistry prodigy (or maybe as a shared experience for the 1:100,000 kid whose parent is passionate about coplaying with a chemistry set and the passion extends to the child.

Anyway, some children grow up to be artists, authors, insurance adjusters, real-estate brokers, etc. They lead happy productive adult lives without finding much joy in STEM. Like previous generations, a lot of people in STEM come to find they enjoy it all on their own during adolescence and/or early adulthood. A few come into the field as full on adults.

Good luck.
I'll admit that summary was not my finest work.
Yes. Apple emphasizes data processing on the device itself to enhance privacy.

Additionally the tracking that does take place is generally less invasive, since Apple cares a great deal less about correlating your buying habits with your life history to sell you ads.
It's also important to hold science accountable with a healthy level of skepticism.

There have only been a few reports on HN of bad science, journal bias, biased studies, and even potentially coverups (Theranos), but there are a lot more that occur that we don't notice. Science is not always real. Read past the headline, compare results, and follow the money.

Estimating the probability of meeting a sales target using Monte Carlo method
Whatever explanations might be bandied about both here and on Amazon's explanatory pages, no explanation will be sufficient to explain away my personal experience: used to be that when Amazon said "two day shipping", it would show up on my doorstep in two days. That no longer happens, not even regularly. Now it means "it'll get here sometime this week". So when my Prime renewal comes up again, it won't be getting renewed.
Technology is intertwined with politics. Perhaps if engineers and technologists engaged more, and more effectively, with the political process we'd see better representation in government.

The way we discuss politics likely needs an adjustment in order to move away from win-lose thinking and debate to win-win thinking and collaboration.

Edit: I do agree that it is makes HN less enjoyable when off-topic discussion overwhelms article-focused discussion, so generally favor on-topic posts. Often, the policy and governance issues relevant to posts are both value-added and on-topic.

Your for loop works, whereas the one in the parent comment would run forever, correct?

The other way around: size_t is an unsigned type, so decrementing 0 will wrap around to SIZE_MAX, a value that is positive as well as greater than 9. This means counter to your intuition, the first loop will terminate and the second one won't.
It's not enough for a formalism to exhibit modus ponens to be a logic. It also needs to be consistent.

I run into this often, it is amazing the speedup MKL provides for linear algebra heavy scientific computations and it is under this weirdly commercial, but permissively redistrubutable framework which means a lot of folks are using it unkowningly in a gray licensing area.

I think it depends on what you do with someone else's connection. A criminal could definitely get an innocent person's house raided, but cops aren't stupid either. If they do their homework first and see Aunt Mildred only goes to facebook and cooking-network.com, and suddenly she's sending death threats to public officials, they might knock on her door and politely ask to put a wifi surveillance device in her home to pinpoint the intruder's signal.

Sure you could steal signals or go to starbucks (which has cameras of course ) a few times and maybe get away with it, but to do it reliably, on demand, is very difficult.

No, but it's more tied-in than you might think: supposedly (haven't personally verified but) it's used for employment and car insurance decisions because it correlates so well with bad/reckless behavior.

I'm not sure about this. It's going to be so disastrous, reminiscent of Cultural Revolution in some spiritual form, to try to force human nature into quantifiable scoring system that relies on subjective truth that is determined by a central government.

Then again this is China, people have no way of speaking out against their government without risking their lives, and the government has no obligation other than maintaining their power over the population.

I almost feel as if Xi is losing his grip on the population by introducing drastic internal policies like this that only names goals that appear to benefit the greater good but almost certainly driving his own agenda, even if it earns the ire of his surrounding peers.

A foreign policy analysis of Xi's external facing policies are almost certainly always to further his internal grip which explains the bizarre & seemingly counter-productive positions he took against North Korea and South China Sea, that further drove neighbouring countries to America's arms....but with strange turn of events it seems that they will be undone from Trump's camp, much to the delight of Putin & Xi.

Time will tell, but it's doubtful we will have anything but a government mouthpiece statician announcing the success of such policies.

It's tough to know the real truth in societies where it is actively suppressed and manipulated by a single central entity. It's also difficult to say how long such systems will last without continuously taking on more risky and expensive internal policies that lags behind changing technology that disseminates information.

but what's that saying? The person wielding the biggest stick in the room is the source of truth implying force is always the lowest common denominator in human societies. Afterall, America wouldn't be where it is today without its 14 nuclear powered floating airports with the most advanced weapon technologies that casts a shadow on any port it chooses to refuel in.
That's really neat, is there any documentation/use-case examples for this outside the source code?
I held onto the promise of a forthcoming explanation (and read ahead in the book, anyhow). Honestly, someone who can't deal with a little ambiguity when starting out on a new technology isn't going to last long in the field anyhow, especially with the amount of self-learning that you end up doing.
