During the last leap second, I had servers configured against google's semi-public servers and some other good sources of time. ntpd marked the google servers as a false ticker sometime during the distortion, and when it was done, was happy with it again. However, I have more non-google servers than google servers, and high minpoll times which tends to result in time checks between servers happening far apart in time, so even if I had multiple google servers, they wouldn't look very close together.
I misunderstood your first post, I thought you wanted to replicate the setup on a raspbpi.

In that case, you should get the attiny84 from anywhere reputable.

I got it from here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00P4E2XUC

You are also going to need a battery holder: http://eud.dx.com/product/diy-4-5v-3-slot-3-x-aa-battery-hol...

And I'm using this arduino for the master RX hub: http://eud.dx.com/product/new-nano-v3-0-module-atmega328p-au...

And if you want to make your life easier, a little extractor tool: http://eud.dx.com/product/proskit-908-609-ic-chip-extractor-...

To program the attiny84, see @gh02t's post[1].

I opted for the use-another-Arduino-as-the-programmer method[2] -- I don't know if you can do it with the nano, I did it with an old Arduino Duemilanove I had laying around.

And here's a fritzing sketch[3] (ignore the fact that there are 4 batteries, the library didn't have a model for the 3 battery case holder).

Same for me. Pebble did not provide any support for the screen tearing issue. I mostly use it as a fashion accessory. Pity!
They fell victim to their own early success. The huge reception for their original smartwatch lead to them expanding massively and trying to pump out a new model every six months. If they'd been content with being a $10million company, they'd still be happily trucking along.
Creepy. Not a company I would want to work for.
> I know for a fact this is untrue.

Why, because I missed a point of data in the ocean of hype and there is one? Two? Please, set the record straight, and provide us with some facts. Maybe in Haskell's 20 year history as the world's most hyped language there was one or two or maybe three non-compiler programs written in it that aren't very small. Maybe there is even one anecdote out there with some actual information in it, although I've looked for one -- a lot -- and couldn't find any. So right now, the people who are making stuff up and passing them off as fact are those who claim significant impact over and over and over without a shred of even the tiniest of anecdotal data. How is that justified?

I have absolutely no problem saying that Haskell works better for large interactive software than other languages, once there are a couple of anecdotes around, but the fact is that currently there aren't any (at least none that I could find). What we have at the moment is a lot of vague claims with zero metrics.

But perhaps I should explain the source of my skepticism. First, it stems from the almost unprecedented gap between hype and evidence. I would imagine that after so many years, given the grand claims there would at least be some good anecdotes. That there aren't any, inspires skepticism. Someone here likened Haskell's abstractions to load bearing materials as opposed to other language's mud. If that were true, the reasonable prediction would be to see Haskell skyscrapers towering over a sea of mud hats; that we actually observe the opposite, inspires skepticism. Second, it stems from my general skepticism (based on CS theory and 20 years of experience) towards the impact any language can make. I.e., I have not encountered a case where the choice of language was the determining factor. Haskell is perhaps the most notable example of a language that claims to make a significant difference by virtue of language-level features (as opposed to runtime features, like GC). I would very much like to see how big that contribution is, if it exists at all.
That is charity. Why not just put the <SHUTDOWN LIMIT EXCEEDED> check mark which will solve the issue entirely.

Not true. Refining crude oil into gasoline or diesel is itself very energy-intensive.

It takes around 4.5kWh to refine each gallon of gasoline from crude. In many cases that energy is supplied by fossil-fuel burning power plants.

imho, ICC is the gold standard. You can get at least a simul with a master almost everyday. The GM commentary is incredible for live tournaments, and things like ICC's Game of the Week from GM Joel Benjamin are unmatched.
From the article, the monitoring is presumably only voluntary insofar as if you don't consent you are guaranteed an unfavorable outcome (you don't get the job). The hypothetical living room camera could be voluntary as well: If you don't consent it's because you're hiding something.
Agreed. I see this as the death of the "forced bundle." People who don't care about football are now finding that they don't have to pay for it. They're cutting the cable.

Others can still watch it, mostly OTA, but through some paid options as well.

So only the artificial inflation of revenue due to the forced bundle is going away.
> Justifying this as "just to make sure people aren't cheating" is like justifying the police putting a camera in everyone's living room "just to make sure people aren't criminals" or putting a GPS collar on your spouse "just to make sure she's not having an affair". Totally unacceptable.

While you might have good reason to get offended and find this to be a big privacy invasion, probably like 90% of people here, the comparison you use here is invalid. Putting a camera in people living room or a GPS tracker is a permanent surveillance. This in comparison is only for the duration of the exam. In many schools, especially in some cultures where cheating is more common and accepted , there's pretty strict measures implemented for exams, including humans checking all of the same things that tool is checking.

Again, it's definetely a big privacy invasion, but it's Amazon tentative at scaling/automating the first phase of the job interview process. I'm sure anyone with proven credentials could bypass this step, but if it gives a chance to prove one's skills for a job without having any special degree, I'm sure some people would be fine with the temporary privacy invasion.

No hundred humans are running the exact same OS that can deadlock or crash and as a result drive off the road, which is why this trope about humans being worse than computers at driving is entirely irrelevant to a thread about why it's unwise to try to build self-driving cars on top of Python scripts.
OK, then we'll turn the camera and GPS on only once in a while, when we have a good reason to make sure things are kosher.

Yes, and it should be fairly obvious by the entire UI the Pip-Boy 2000 sports. Cutesy 50's style caricatures jar with the gritty situation for humor. Fallout has always had that undercurrent of absurdism in everything that rears its head to good comical effect. One of the things that I think made the third game not quite as good is that the absurdity from the characters are downplayed quite a bit, while the visuals are played up. The presentation feels uneven.
Doing something in exchange for a chance to get a job is 100%, completely, in every sense of the term voluntary.

If I don't pay Apple, they won't give me an iPhone. Am I involuntarily paying Apple for my iPhone?

As for the camera, a mafia-esque threat of "if you don't have a camera, we get very suspicious" by a government which has the power to prosecute and put people in jail, is incredibly coercive and horrifying.

Amazon is making you an offer, which if you refuse, leaves you no worse off than the status quo. If you accept their offer, there is potentially a job which you are apparently interested in, since you are applying.

Oh, thank god, finally we get a number. It turns out that I was completely wrong, and that in its 20 years of hyped existence, someone has built something big with Haskell once. You may think I'm sneering, but only a little bit, because while one is almost nothing, it is much better than actually nothing because at least it is a first anecdote. Now, who do I have pester to get some more metrics?

But there was nowhere to grow. Smartwatches have always been a niche product for people who like gizmos. If Pebble had stayed small and focused on their original "watch with apps" market instead of chasing the "phone on your wrist" market it'd still be business as usual.
Thank you so much! I just read through this about a half hour ago and just assumed no one bothered to comment.

Aside from knowing the Pebble team (I've been to their office a couple times; Eric gave me great advice when I was looking at building hardware and doing Kickstarter), I selfishly hope Pebble Core ships -- I'm not really that into smartwatches, but the Core is going to be transformative, at least as much as RPi and Alexa/Echo have been. It might be a great fit with Fitbit.

I would without hesitation bet on the Pebble team on whatever they do next.
EMACS is my standard editor but I don't know what several of these things do. I'm open to my environment being improved but I'm not so into installing something when I don't know what it does. The site doesn't do much to explain what I'm installing or what it'll change about my current setup.

I actually setup a new computer yesterday. I copied my .emacs file and used ELPA to install js2Mode. This minimal setup probably heavily influences my lack of trust in installing what appears to be three or four different things all stuck together.

Note: http://emacs-bootstrap.com/#second, the init.el link leads to a 404.
I wouldn't know because I've never written anything in Python. How many 100KLOC non-compiler programs would say have been written in Haskell? It would be great if the team behind one of them would write a technical report so we'd at least slowly get to find out if it's actually easier to work with Haskell than with Python, and if so, by how much.

Why the insult?

Memory safety without a hit in performance seems like a great thing, and this is a fine example that it's becoming possible. The point is not that C is always fine. In this case, I think the actual conclusion is something like: C and Rust perform equally here, both have about 50% of the theoretical assembly performance on modern processors, thus better vectorization would help both of them. But if all else is equal, choose the safe one.

Well, lets hope fitbit is trying to do something about the bigger wearable market.

I have had a fitbit charge hr and liked it. (Got money back after a forgivable issue, rubber band stared peeling off.) Reasons for not getting a new one was because I rather want a waterproof device with more features.

I'm saving for a pebble now, but ideally a steel (looks best) with time interface (sounds really intuitive) and hr monitoring.

So please please please pebble don't go out of business!

Phoenix framework is entirely optional, Elixir comes with something called "Plug" which is all you would need to launch simple applications.

It gets blurred because NGOs spend a lot of money lobbying governments, and governments do spend a lot of money funding science. It would be hard to believe that government science funding policy isn't at least influenced by NGO lobbying.

And then there's the matter of scientists being members of NGOs. Again, I would fully expect that a large number of (e.g.) environmental science researchers would be members of (e.g.) Greenpeace because I would expect that people passionate about the environment would want to study it, and also join organisations that are also passionate about the environment. There's nothing suspicious or conspiracy-engendering about this, but it does mean that there's a good chance the NGO is going to be able to get a scientist to write a paper saying something they want said.

I find it fascinating how the politics neatly align with the beliefs (right-leaning people almost always deny climate change but believe in nuclear power or GMO foods, for example). Then the arguments selectively invoke "it's the science!" for the beliefs that are supported by the science, and conveniently ignore the science for the beliefs that aren't.

As far as I'm aware, if the scientific community consensus is to be taken as the correct course of action every time, we should (for example): stop using fossil fuels and replace them with nuclear power plants. Almost nobody would be happy with this, though!

Suppose X is 0 and V is 0. The product of X and V is 0 which is indeed less than or equal to 0 - 0 = 0. Substituting V and X both for zero in (V - X) < (V * X) gives us (0 - 0) < (0 * 0) which simplifies to 0 < 0, which is false.

I use one IAM User per project per engineer, all tied to a root account. Since my IAM roles are project specific, the console shows only the resources relevant to the project that the IAM User is allowed to see.

For quick switching between projects on the Console, I use a Chrome user session per project and have them loaded up. [Chrome session is the little icon on the top right corner of browser that has your name on it]

It will indeed will be a cool Console feature to handle multiple IAM User sessions with a drop down toggle like the Region switch.
I would love if someone built a Chrome extension which highlights comments from folks self-identifying as working at the companies mentioned in the story.

For one, the general radio silence around ethical issues from the same folks who jump in with gusto on technical issues is both the most fascinating and the most creepy thing I have seen recently, and I am guessing the signal (people debating ethics) over noise (people debating technicals) ratio is low when you consider the implications of people taking these things for granted.

I guess someone will be asking if the signal and noise should be the other way around, given that HN is mainly for discussing technical issues. Maybe, but it emboldens the general attitude from these folks, which I will sum up thus:

"We have more insight into this issue than you because we are on the inside. We are probably smart enough to know what we are doing because we are working at these companies in the first place. And no one really knows the answer to these questions anyway, so what is the use discussing them endlessly?"

Another way to rephrase the above is: "We know what is best for you, and if you are questioning this assumption, you are just hating".
