Starting writing BASIC without telling us what we were doing. Kept using technical terms that sounded like a foreign language.

They spent a whole article talking about rules without explaining what the rules are.
The actions taken to mitigate or counter-act climate change could have 'collateral benefits', but be less effective than other environmental remediation or human charity. The 'loss' would be (the benefits of the best alternative program) - (the benefits of the ACC mitigation/counter-action).

If your priority is to save a few endangered species, the best way to do it is to go out and save those species, not to 'try to reduce or offset anthropogenic climate change'; there are many species which are extremely endangered, and for a great intro to the topic, I suggest Douglas Adam's brilliant book.[1]

We are faced with tough choices, and should acknowledge them to be difficult; I don't know that I could bear telling parents that their children will die because I see climate change as a higher priority than disease.

3. I disagree. I've been working in the tech industry (in the U.S) for over 8 years now. Relationship with the manager absolutely matters as far as being paid more and promotion. That's my experience in all 4 tech companies I've worked at. Though there are props for merit, but at the end of the day, and especially at the bigger firms, it's your relationship with higher ups that gets you there.
To my eyes, this signals that Docker hears the complaints from systems like Kubernetes that want to build on top of docker, but don't want all the Docker platform stuff.

Layering matters, and Docker seems to be offering a solution that is Docker compatible but more usable by layered systems.

Devil's in the details, of course, but this seems like what our customers want - docker but not Docker.

Watch what he does and who he appoints. Having a meeting with someone isn't always that substantial. The crazy stuff he says is just for shock and awe value. This is how he controls the narrative and keeps it away from weightier investigative criticisms of his actions Which are far more damaging and substantial. A remark can always be played off as a joke, bluster or banter. His supporters see that, and get a kick out of seeing him troll the media.

This way he makes some off the cuff remark that has people in news and social media tripping over themselves to denounce and loudly proclaim righteous indignation. His supporters laugh, the crazy fringe love him, and the media and the left chase their tail around in circles until he needs to distract them from something else.

You're talking about stills. The data requirements for video are massive. For me, in London, the most practical solution is still usually to hand the editor a USB drive in person.

Yes, maybe heavily compressed 720p would be acceptable for some war journalism, but that's still going to be impossible to live stream reliably from almost anywhere in the world. And unless you're getting something spectacular, no mainstream TV station will want to use your crappy footage.

Also remember that what you're replacing here is the transfer of pre-edited footage, of which there is likely to be a huge amount. You refer to files of "a few MB or less" elsewhere, which suggests you haven't really thought about what's required here.

Edit: I don't mean to suggest this could never work, I mean satellite have been a thing for years. But at this point local storage is still vastly more practical for almost everybody.

Edit2: Also I agree with brudgers that you came across as gratuitously uncivil.
I responded to this naive comment upthread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13177599), but the interpretation you give is simplistic -- see the q-and-a at: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/20...

That q-and-a is a great reason why one should not seize on one obvious interpretation of a press release, out of context, as some kind of gotcha. You have to know the context about the limitations of the data, what it's really measuring, and what the dominant physics are.
> Two possible changes (forward/backwards) for two characters out of 15.

Yes, but you can only cut down the sample space in this way because you can look at "myoldpasswordA1" and know that the 'A1' characters are the iterators. A computer doesn't know that.
I've had a shoelaces break maybe 3-4 times on shoes I wore regularly for more than 2-3 years. It's annoying out of all proportion to the expense involved.

(The plastic bits at the end can also get frayed and fall off, which happens more quickly, but I'm not sure knot style has much to do with that.)
That may be more of a study in law than any meaningful difference in technology.

My issue with global warming activists isn't its science but it's masking of the actual problem: over population. Global warming with a doubling of population will of course be an issue - but by the time we double population(50 years?) don't worry - things will be so bad: limited food, terrible air, almost no employment, the extra +3 degrees won't matter.

My opinion as a researcher in AI/ML but without any expertise in self-driving tech:

We are a long way from where I would be willing to trust my life to self-driving cars - as a passenger, as another driver on the streets, as a cyclist, or as a pedestrian. Much farther away than these companies press releases make it seem.

Here's why. These driving algorithms are successful in large part because of data. They train their systems, such as visual recognition (what are the objects in the world around me), on millions of miles of visual data collected on the roads, most of it in California in the sunny daytime.

This means they are very likely to perform well in the average case when everything goes according to plan. And if deployed there they might live up to the hype and save thousands of lives compared to human drivers.

But now say you're in a major city in the midwest or northeast, for instance. It may be night time. It might be raining. There might be two feet of snow on the ground, narrow lanes, road signs covered up and unreadable. There may be a pedestrian crossing in dark colors. The street lines may be faded or nonexistent. There may be a street that is marked one way on the GPS map but is currently detoured the opposite direction due to construction.

There may be a policeman directing traffic. The police might pull the car over and direct it to a parking lot. There might be a fire truck or ambulance coming at an unusual time.

A computerized system trained on data can only perform well in situations very similar to its training set. But its vision will have a hard time recognizing objects it hasn't seen before. Its language processing will not understand unusual or novel road signs. Even if it recognizes the objects around it correclty, it lacks the "true" intelligence to deal with unforeseen situations falling significantly outside its training set.

I believe that cars are quite likely to run into novel situations they haven't experienced before, and I don't trust their reactions or decisionmaking in these scenarios. So I think what we have are self-driving cars that perform very well in the common, easy case, as we have already seen in numerous press releases, but are in my opinion very unpredictable in the long, fat tail of situations.
That would be a serious overestimation of their capabilities. Even the most banal of their data are riddled with errors. Thesw companies talk a good talk but their technology moves at the speed of smell.

Highlighting this because it still confounds me that projects like this receive no support. I'd be unsurprised if this wasn't the only project in a parlous state. What is all the more baffling is the lack of support from the FSF, EFF, etc.

It also baffles me that the Core Infrastructure Initiative isn't involved in GPG (to my knowledge) considering we have more or less no other way of signing software releases that is commonly used.

Projects like this need more love than they get. How can the community - rather than wealthy beneficiaries - ensure this sort of thing gets enough funding? Open question, because I don't know.
It's an SDR, so it can transmit and receive over multiple frequencies. It's basically a programmable transceiver that can be used to interact with many different protocols and transmission encodings on different frequencies. Looks like it also has some specialized abilities for security stuff, e.g. brute forcing RF codes.

Eh, stupidity is a pretty good reason, but I don't think it's that. If it was then the line should be : "Climate change = Shits fucked and will get even more fucked, yo." That is a simple enough line to tout even to a heroin addict. Climate change isn't all that complicated as a concept (exact predictions, yes, but like, 'the color blue' is pretty easy a concept even though like photons and retinal pigments and neurons aren't). Hanlon's Razor is: "never attribute to conspiracy what you can attribute to stupidity". Well, stupidity isn't really cutting it anymore, so I think you can start to say conspiracy is a reasonable answer now too.

Most of them only lie try to blatantly lie about important things (Or at least, when they feel like there's something resembling a fig leaf they can cover up with.)

He lies just about every time he speaks. We really should not be listening to anything this man says.

There is no point to performing Kremlinology on Trump. There is no consistent narrative, there are no secret subtexts to his utterances, that can be gleaned through careful inspection and comparison. He says whatever comes to mind, which is usually the most expedient thing to say at that particular moment.
I agree that the executive branch has gained in power recently, and I hope probably against hope that the next time the Democrats are in power they do not continue their long-standing tradition of waving off concerns about the imperial Presidency because probably nobody they despise will ever be President.

Trump is the incoming president with the worst approval ratings in modern history, who lost the popular vote by a considerable margin, and did so after a lengthy public fight with the Republican leadership. He doesn't have "no" political support, certainly. But he doesn't have the kind of overwhelming popular support that might allow him to bend or break the rules that govern him with impunity, certain that his political enemies are too cowed to make a fuss.

238 years is a pretty long time by governmental standards. Our government is much older than Russia's, China's, France's, Germany's, Japan's, etc. Older than essentially every government in South America or Africa. The UK hasn't had an actual revolution in the last 238 years, but 238 years ago it was a genuine monarchy, and now it's not. Etc.

The entrenched interests of Washington are the government itself, and Congress, and they do have all the money they need. Also, money, it turns out, is not actually as big a deal as people would have you believe. Clinton's campaign outspent Trump's about 2:1.
That it's a "temporary setback" is small consolation to the native Americans.

I wish I could make a more on-topic comment, but I have to agree. Journalism in this age mostly consists of summarizing press releases and of repeating the claims of people. I have a feeling that this is because a journalist is not given enough time to look into the primary materials (in this case the proposed rules), but is required to get an article written with only enough time to read the press release and maybe call a person or two.

This isn't a particularly useful role. But I believe that the economics of the business have driven journalism that direction.
Where did I do that?
> he's absolutely going to get used as a tool in smarter people's schemes

This is already happening. Just see how the president of Taiwan played him, calling him up without going through the state department, in the full knowledge that he was probably not aware that he shouldn't take the call. She essentially forced him into a position where he had to say that changing the relation with Taiwan was his plan all along.
It seems the essence of your argument is: "We are Turing machines. Turing machines are completely deterministic. Our outputs are not deterministic. This is a baffling conundrum."

If we are Turing machines, we are Turing machines with noise and errors. (Proof: do large mathematical calculations by hand.) This explains the lack of determinism.

The remainder of your essay seems to argue that our nondeterminism is "deep", but I don't understand the distinction. You state there's a big difference between random numbers from a cryptographic PRNG (which is in fact deterministic) and generating a proof that primes are infinite. But I don't see why computers can't generate "deep" nondeterminism, whatever that is.
New Relic vs. Stackify Retrace
As a kid I wore canvas sneakers most of the time. I laced them every day. The shoes would outlast the laces even though eventually I would outgrow the shoes. Since I didn't have a personal assistant to get me new laces, I often had to tie the shoes differently so that the laces would still work in some fashion. On high top sneakers, sometimes I'd lace them approximately as low top sneakers, but with a really economical knot. The main point of wear was the point where the lace went through the top eyelets.

Author here. Yes, this is an interesting problem TimSort used to have. A counterexample to incorrect TimSort is sequence "120, 80, 25, 20, 30". This simple sequence could have been easily discovered by generating sequences randomly and verifying that the TimSort invariants hold on it. The fact that it took 13 years to discover the bug (using formal verification!) is just silly :)

Fortunately, the problem is easy to fix and there's a brief mention of it in the comments: https://is.gd/txKd4I
Most data I've seen does actually suggest that drones won't be cost competitive with delivery trucks anytime soon - esp. across cities. However, speed can indeed be a USP that would be difficult to match with delivery trucks.

You need to finish that thought: the majority of people do actually go against the values typically espoused by the people who visit HN, and they too have strong feelings about the concept of professional ethics. In other words, they consider your values unethical, and you'd be outvoted in a professional society. Your resistance to the GCHQ (or NSA or FSB or Mossad -- whatever your local agency is) is thereby declared unethical. Due to lack of ethics, your membership in said professional society is suspended.
