The headline chosen by the BBC does not sit well with me. "Take my brain out" feels very click bait-y, and maybe even slightly exploitative. "I take my brain out and recharge it" is the snippet of that quote in context.

Back then it was only running on customer specific hardware and was entangled with application code.

Building this special hardware for it we can offer better user experience than with just a code release. Once we ship the board all of the software will be released
I'm still working on the same thing I was working on last time this was asked, most likely. An AI / Machine Learning "as a Service" offering. The idea is to provide a hosted and API driven service for doing machine learning and other AI work using popular Open Source toolkits.

Right now we are doing a lot of work to support Spark / Hadoop and several associated libraries / frameworks - SystemML, MLLib, Mahout, etc. Eventually we'll add support for TensorFlow, CaffeOnSpark, Singa, etc.

Most of what we've done so far is around provisioning (we're building on AWS for now), but we've done some work on the service APIs for training models, making predictions, etc. Adding PMML support in in the cards for "real soon now" as well. Beyond that we have a whole laundry list of features to add.

Not quite ready to launch yet, but things are taking shape. I'm really hopeful that we can at least hit our closed beta launch sometime in the next month or two.

Oh and the other thing is, our platform itself will be Open Source software, and will be available for deployment into private environments if you don't want to use our hosted service.
Or at least, be able to see the full template size before dragging.
I mostly agree with what you have pointed out.

I feel really bad for the guy and I hope this gets enough media attention for Amazon to actually care about helping him.

But this is the world we are headed toward with people continuing to stake their entire livelihoods on services with almost non-existent customer service. Companies like Amazon, Google, Paypal, you name it.

If they won't give you a phone number that rings through to an actual human being promptly, you shouldn't allow yourself to become dependent upon said service continuing to work. Let alone base your entire income and the incomes of employees under you on it. That's just incredibly irresponsible.
On the other hand maybe people will choose not to use the overhead bin now that it costs money. Wouldn't that save some time?
> put that market at rest

What does that mean?
Thanks.

The product is nothing revolutionary. There are other services that do something very similar.

The differentiator is that it's aimed at the Polish market. Everything is in Polish—including documentation, support, etc.

While it's definitely true that developers generally know English very well, some might be more comfortable using their own language, and this is what the service is for.

Just don't fly United. Of all the major carriers, they usually have the lowest prices.

IMO, the reason they are the cheapest is that they suck really bad. No legroom, antiquated planes, and terrible service. I always avoid flying on United. If I get booked through work, I offer to pay the difference on the next lowest airfare from a different airline.

Holy sh*t! That's really low.

The only one where I can give an honest answer is "No, I love my laptop too much to upgrade." I'm actually having exactly this problem. I would like to upgrade to a new notebook with more RAM (4 GB soldered in is becoming a bit claustrophobic these days), but I have several rare autographs on my notebook cover and don't want to abandon it.
In this case, print the CV is not a good option. Maybe a online profile, with a no-image print option.

That could happen, but I doubt it because the alternative is checking bags which also costs money and takes more time.

Something like the level of confidentiality feature in (soon to be) caliopen[1]:

>>
What is behind the idea of confidentiality level?

In Caliopen, every element has its own "confidentiality level" which tells the user what is the security level for any contact or message or conversation...

Each terminal declared by the user is graded according to its use (e.g. strictly personal, at home or as a public access within the enterprise), its type (a phone is necessarily less secure than a desktop PC, as it is much easier to loose). When used for the first time, a non declared terminal receives a note of zero.

Incoming messages are rated whether they are or not encrypted, and also according to the type of encryption key. The type of transport (secured or not) influences the rating as well as confidentiality level associated to the related contact if it is known. The algorithm that rates a conversation is more complex, but takes into account all described elements.

For a user's contact, the confidentiality level is equal to the global confidentiality level of this contact's account: this global confidentiality level is the only public element of a CaliOpen account.

Finally, every CaliOpen instance should eventually geWhat is behind the idea of confidentiality level?

Speed of Light: Is it possible to travel at the speed of light?
This headline is a blatant mischaracterization. US Airlines is offering a new lower fare tier for passengers who don't care where they sit and don't need the bins. It's not a new fee. A less rage-baiting version would say, "US airline to offer lower fares to customers not using overhead bins." But who the hell would read an article about that?
Unfortunately this must be flagged for pure political content.
They also support webpack out of the box. You can most likely add build tools by doing your own integration as well.

Major advancements in Deep Learning in 2016
Even a distro-specific script would do the job in many cases.

Elementary is a good example of where some kind of advanced script/package setup could possibly replicate what the developers have done.

What you mention regarding extending the idea of dotfiles to encompass applications/settings is exactly what I'm hoping will start happening rather than this saturation of distros that don't necessarily bring a lot to the table. As for security issues, yes that's always going to be a concern when you add new packages, but no reason why there couldn't be some improved process in place to let users know when they are straying off the path.
Fwiw seller support has a phone number that gets a human within a minute or so.
That's very clearly not true. In just the last couple of years they have worked very hard to enhance the Mac OS line.

5K displays years before anyone else, even developing custom controller chips.

Wide colour gamut displays on laptops and desktops

Continuity to tie in the Mac and iOS systems.

Integrating a complete hardware subsystem with it's own OS and display in the form of the Touch Bar.

Going just a little further back they introduced the Fusion Drive, a custom flash/disk storage system adapting enterprise style tiered storage in a consumer package.

To support this thesis you'd need to show that other companies have been successfully advancing their platforms with better implemented, better thought out technologies and were thus leaving Apple behind. But where are these advanced features in other desktop and laptop systems that are leaving Apple in the dust? The only thing the PC market has that MacOS doesn't is touch screens which barely anybody actually uses.

Which solution seems to have the most thought and effort put into it, slapping a commodity touch sensor on a PC screen and calling it job done, or the Touch Bar?It's too early to tell how well adopted the touch bar will become, but nobody can accuse Apple of leaving touch interfaces for laptops unaddressed.

Yes, onboarding is a pain.

Once I thought it's because software is too complicated, but it seems every time I lower the entry barrier, people lower their opinion about what is a problem.

What I don't understand is, that even professionals turn their brain out when setting up a system of any kind.

When I have to go to a customer and need to set some stuff up, I ensure that I can complete that task without the help of others. If some unexpected happens, I write it down at some central place and consult it the next time.

But some people just head out every time without thinking or planning.
Thanks. Wow. That's really bad.
There are protocol properties, and client properties. I think some of both are important.

### Protocol

* Easily federated

* Identifiers can be memorable/meaningful (unlike phone numbers) while still being globally unique (thanks to federation)

* Device independent (not tied to a phone number, can generally use the same account on different devices)

* Can contact people you don't know/haven't met (this is possible with Signal, but they'd have to publicly share their personal cell phone number, which is a no-go).

### Client

* Optimized for longer-form, less immediate messaging (folders, drafts, rich text)

* MIME attachments (Signal supports only a limited number of predefined types of attachments)

The problem with that is that no one shops directly on the airline websites any more, at least not at first. Now this company's fares will appear at the top of the list when you search kayak or google flights or whatever. Then you order your ticket and don't realize the restriction until you're about to put the order through. This works effectively well.

Then the rest of the industry feels pressure to do the same thing to remain competitive. It's a race to the bottom and I think it's how we wound up in the present situation of frequently paying for checked bags and not getting meals included.

This is going too far though -- who travels for even a few days without an overhead bag? And have you noticed how much smaller the size restrictions on the overhead bags are now?
Isn't the alternative to keep your bag under the seat in front of you?
I think making this a moral issue slightly misses the point. Even if Shirley understands the underlying principle of maintainability and is motivated to do the best thing for the company, she is still not the right decision-maker because the relevant risks and rewards are not fully visible to her.

Decisions should be made at the lowest level where all the relevant information is available. In this case, the executive understands the pressing reasons for making the change, so is properly able to weigh the incremental risk (with the technical advice of Shirley et al) vs. the business priority, whereas Shirley can only see half of the picture.

Imagine if Shirley had gone ahead and broken policy, then something went badly wrong. She likely would've been blamed for the whole fiasco.
Well, that's bloody stupid. How does that work?

(The UK system of account number/sort code does allow you to set up malicious direct debits against other people's accounts e.g. http://hoaxes.org/weblog/permalink/clarksons_account_gets_ha... - BUT the direct debit guarantee system is supposed to make them all reversible, and you can't DD to arbitary accounts, you have to be a verified merchant.)
These larger tech firms are consolidating and often have market monopoly. They often don't care when your account is suspended due to their own erroneous fraud detection systems. They would rather have 2 innocent people lose their livelihood than check on 500 fraud cases.

I imagine these destroy a livelihood around the globe every 60 seconds:

"I lost my Adsense account because someone in India clicked on my ad?"

"I lost my Amazon merchant account because of my
'suspicious' credit card?"

"Uber suspended me after someone threw up in my car?"

"Why am I suspended? I sent the package?"
The long term goal might have been to get businesses onboard and charge them to accept money.
And there's already a solution available for that:
https://www.debian.org/blends/

In essence: upload package/packages with what you need to your upstream distro and make a metapackage that includes them along with anything you need from the upstream distro.

It's a win-win:

Users can install anything from the usptream distro, not just what you can offer them in your tiny distro.

Maintainers don't have to waste effort on maintaining a full-blown distro, they only maintain packages that customize the upstream distro towards the niche they care about.
I would guess that enforcement would just mean at the gate you couldn't take through anything bigger than specified in the article.

Most people in that situation would prefer to keep the item with them or under the seat rather than up in a bin.
> Companies like Amazon, Google, Paypal, you name it.

While the point you're making is certainly valid and most of these big companies we've come to rely on have next to zero customer service, I just wanted to say that in the case of PayPal I recently had to resolve an issue with a purchase (with Musician's Friend, who I will never, EVER do business with again, but that's another story) and their customer service was actually pretty decent. Granted, I had to make a couple phone calls to them before I got a "good" agent that was able/willing to resolve my issue, but I'd take that experience over calling the likes of AT&T or Comcast any day.

That doesn't seem like an Apple-like solution to me at all. Their answer to this sort of seamless computing is Continuity. Leveraging their deep hardware and software integration to develop technology that transitions tasks and context across devices, not all-in-one devices.

Exactly. They just want their problem solved, they don't care about understanding the underlying system.

It's not even about not wanting to listen, it's about the amount of information they have to absorb to understand the problem.

Also, most of us are not Feinmann-level teachers who can explain complicated systems in simple terms.
My understanding is that Radiant is a collection of useful statistical models and other tools displayed using Shiny.

Radiant basically allows you to import a dataset and run a collection of models against that dataset, all in your browser.

It's a Shiny app, with packaged, or integrated, functionality so you don't have to write the code yourself.

I recently had a bout or two with Amazon over a relatively trivial issue. Simply that sold me a USB stick (Corsair Survivor) that fell to bits. Asked for a replacement to be sent out. They wanted me to send the old one back. I refused unless I can destroy the ICs on the board first for obvious reasons. Took 45 minutes of explaining to someone who didn't really care. Eventually they agreed to replace it and told me to dispose of the original.

Then about two weeks later I got an email saying that I was going to be charged £31 for the replacement. Contacted Amazon again and was told that it was policy to take a payment for it and they wouldn't budge. They also had no record of agreement before either.

I lost my shit. Another 45 minutes later, eventually I have a resolution, I think. I'll only know when they take or do not take the money.

Three lessons from the above and the original post:

1. Get everything in writing. Use Amazon's chat facility when you contact them and make sure you get a transcript emailed to you.

2. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. I wouldn't trust them to solely run my infrastructure or my business fulfillment. You don't really matter in the scale of things so they can afford to do a shitty job sometimes.

3. Cheap isn't necessarily a good deal. I'd genuinely rather pay more these days for something and get it from Argos here in the UK. Or bytemark etc.

Yeah the BBC News has been going downhill for a while now, and as someone from the UK it is disappointing to watch. They are blatantly pro-remain and anti-trump as well, which they use to bias every news story to their liking.
That's interesting. 100% of the resumes I have sent have been PDF. I haven't even read a request for a Word document anywhere. Which country/domain are you talking about (for me it's tech jobs and academics in Germany). I have stopped applying to anyone who asks for a real world document so maybe that's a niche I'm missing?
You can't fit much under the seat though. It's not much of an alternative

Good point. Please flag this, everyone.
It's the president's fault for letting this problem rise to 10% and risk layoffs before acting. Like most leaders, his psychopathy is visible by the wake it causes.
For me the absurd part was this one:

"Philip (President): Our factory is underutilized by 10%. Either we start building more of our backlog or we lay people off. I'd rather keep everyone busy, build inventory, and get ahead of the curve before the busy season. How can we do that?

Lee (Operations Manager): Company policy restricts us from building more than 3 months of backlog. If you just change that to 4 months, we'll have plenty of work."

You can't have one week of 10% less productivity if not you will immediately fire everyone? And you company policies only work if you change a line of code? And this line of code is from some old legacy code that no one touch and your whole process depends on it? No, 6 days of development is the least of the problems here. This company is absurd.

6 days for the line of code wasn't optimal, but wasn't that bad. What this story shows to me how bad management pretend things are IT fault.
GOOD. They should force everyone to check their bags already. Hell, just remove the overhead bins entirely. Why do they even exist? All they do is make boarding and deplaning take 20 extra minutes each. The time you have to wait for the luggage carousel will be no big deal if you can just get off the plane immediately.
