This largscale ddos attack against Root Servers is just one step away to flood the so mutch that they lay down... if that happens for 24h its over with mone corruption kills and all the other stupidity of humans! no one can nuke without internet... cant send armys into other lands without telecommunications!!
every army is hosted by ICANN and IANA...

NSA CIA DOD etc...

i worked hard science 2010 to make that possible!!! now is the time to flood the server miniports so hard that they stay down!
if one bot can dos it so hard what gappens if 9000 people make it similar to?!!! there is no reaso...

i made with 1 computer 5000000 requests per sec.ever query is 3000mega bites long!!! think about the mass that can hit ICANN if we do that DNS Attck together...

IMO, the "only show text + links on hover" thing needs to go. If you absolutely must do something like this, please use faded-but-visible text instead of completely hiding it.

(It's also really annoying on mobile where you have to actively tap to show the links.)

EDIT: Reasoning: Does this page contain the information I need? I can't tell without apparently hovering over everything. (Plus, if I hover away from one of the 'graphs' it's easy to forget what was on there.)
If you consider SPSS as an alternative, you'll probably really have no use for R. I agree that Python is more approachable for people with a CS background (unless your fan of array processing languages) but R actually is a nice language for data centric tasks.

Not having to work meaning you will stop working or not having to work giving you freedom to stop but you most likely will not? If the former, what is the thing you will do that you cannot start doing today? I am not rich (in the US sense) and my goals when I was young were to not leave anything until 'pension' (as that is kind of what you decribe but probably at a younger age than typical) so I set up everything so I could do all I want (and those things are modest anyway) before I turn 50. By 42 I did mostly all of them without being rich and while working at the same time (which is also a hobby) and while developing other hobbies and side projects.
Without the background story, it's hard to tell whether this is a ridiculous or justified amount of time.

Does anyone know the full story?

This is likely getting upvoted because it shouldn't take that long to ship a damn emoji picker / this use of resources is why Twitter is in decline, etc.

From a QA perspective, an emoji picker, with emoji searching and color setting, is tricker than it looks. For example, which emoji would you expect to see for a search query of "happy"? http://i.imgur.com/HU3sP7N.png

(Actually, why isn't the smiling cat a result for a "happy" query?)

It's all about intent.
As someone who went to an "elite" institution, I wonder why all education can't be elite. In the past, there were physical limitations -- only so many students could fit in a lecture hall, on a campus etc. So the optimal arrangement at the time was to try to match the highest-potential students with the most qualified educators -- a system that could be gamed, requires imperfect approximations, but the best that was available at the time.

Now, with today's technology, the best educators in the world can become accessible, on a read-only basis, to anyone. This is what we're starting to see, with the biggest brand-name universities exploring how to monetize such a system via MOOC's. When MOOC's mature, a lot of today's university admissions rituals will no longer make sense.

Take SATs for example -- a high school-agnostic measure of a student's capabilities. If instead, there were a standardized set of MOOC's, whose grading systems were trustworthy, then instead of approximating a student's ability to learn new material via a general standardized test, the course material itself is standardized, so SATs become redundant.

I can't wait to see where MOOC's go in the coming years, and "elite" education earn its name through means other than its exclusivity.
It's a bit better but still extremely slow (didn't try on premise). We're still using it instead of github because of the CI though
Hence I found it easier to keep all lowercase to avoid headaches.
Elite isn't about the quality of the instruction. Elite is about who is instructed. By definition, you can't have a broad-based, democratic elite.
Is this similar to perverts calling random women on the telephone? Now that I think about it, wouldn't it have been easy to detect the callers and punish them? Did that ever happen?
I'd say about a 50/50 split between useless things like: hanging out with friends playing video games, riding my bike in traffic in a semi irresponsible manner, smoking weed, climbing trees; and useful things like reverse engineering/modifying things, exploring programming languages, painting/drawing, doing 3D graphics/art, working on various side projects and building things that come to mind.

Some examples of side recent projects if you're interested: a virtual reality strange attractor explorer, a high resolution bike speedometer/light system and a tool to record and subsequently play images from cassette tapes.

1. Automatically stopping the review on merge makes a lot of sense. The issue for that is in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/22191 and it got added to 8.13 if I'm not mistaken https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests/6669

2. As you know we already have official docker images with https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/docker/ so we won't take over Sameer his work. If you want to have separate containers for the datastores (totally a good idea) I recommend you use the Helm Chart https://github.com/kubernetes/charts/tree/master/stable/gitl... It has separate containers for Redis and PostgreSQL https://github.com/kubernetes/charts/blob/master/stable/gitl...

> it will be trivial to exceed human capabilities

You're equalling human time to AI/computer time. A one day old neural net has already experienced multiple lifetimes worth of images before it is able to beat you at image recognition. It's not trivial, but we just gloss over the extremely complex training phase because it runs on a different clock speed than us.
But I enjoy work. I'm happy that I'm well compensated for the work I do, but even without that I fundamentally enjoy my work.

In fact work is preferable to how I spend a lot of my free time. Would I like to work more flexible hours and get paid the same to work 30 hours instead of 37.5 a week then sure, but otherwise what would money be buying freedom from?

I suppose owning a house out-right would be freedom from worrying about security of housing, and having a large cash reserve in a few currencies would be security from political instability.

Perhaps that I only have to worry about these "big" things means I already qualify as rich from my existing income, but "not working" is definitely not a goal I align to (yet).
Yes, sure. Like back in the good old times in the Stone Age when unwashed brutes would hammer their heads in with clubs and considered that a civilized discussion. How I long to be back there, we lost so much when we adopted civil manners.

I think that smart or smarts and your definition of wealthy play into it; smart I find being able to do what you set out to do all the time without money holding you back. For some people that means you need to be rich for others (like me) it does not.
But... the enigma was broken.

This is exactly how innovation is supposed to work - if a rival company (or a new entry to the market) comes up with a better solution then you have to innovate to survive. It's exactly why competition is important. It forces companies to improve what they offer. If they can do it in clever ways that don't cost much, that's even better. The business wins and the customer gets a better experience.

Another megalomaniac looking for religion where it can not be found: radical transparency, humans and economies as machines, personality tests to determine stratums, daily ratings called "dots" (which incidentally is what Palantir calls their ratings as well). Then again maybe the article makes the place sound more like a cult than it actually is in reality.
Google for it and then stand around reading the reviews to figure out which is the best one, you mean. And sign up for a new account and everything with the new app. By that time I'm already on my way to my hotel with Uber.
Sometimes it's easier to acquire the goods than it is to fence them. Same thing happens in real life all the time; burglars end up tossing what they've stolen because they can't turn it into money.
What do you do with Uber stock? They're not a public company. It's possible, but not easy, to sell Uber shares to sophisticated investors in bulk.[1]

From the article: "Uber is rumored to go public within the next two years." Not unless they stop losing money so fast.

It's pretty good.

There are several hackerspaces (https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/Zagreb - I'm partial to the one in Mama), and every now and then we'll gather around a "Nothing will happen" (http://www.nsnd.org/).

There's a vibrant meetup scene (well-covered by meetup.com), and WebCamp Zagreb (https://2016.webcampzg.org/) is the community conference that tries to gather different meetups & communities once a year.

Companies from abroad tend to open development offices here to exploit the cheaper workforce, especially since Croatia has joined the EU. There's also a number of local companies that are constantly hiring, resulting in a solid amount of hiring opportunities even for the part of the crowd that's a bit pickier.

People are leaving Croatia in general, though, and the tech community isn't immune to that. Lots of people moved to other EU countries, and although that's not unexpected at all, I believe it's left a dent within all of the above.

If you decide to visit, give me a shout. :)
What I find interesting about your second paragraph is that without inlined supporting evidence, it can be used to describe any president since the last founder was elected:

> The President's said plenty of disturbing things. Both in his political run and in his 30+ years in the public eye. He's erratic, petty, prone to seeking revenge, and extremely thin-skinned. Americans should have never given this guy power, but they did.
I agree, we should raise this problem to the start-up environments, but where and how to raise?
> It's one thing to worry about AI's taking over the world someday .

I don't think AI taking over would necessarily be a bad thing. AI could maximize human potential much better than us. I'd rather let our technological offspring take on the role of protector - if it is really smarter than us. And of course it might kill us, but at least we would leave our more advanced children behind, we won't die for nothing.

This is a dilemma every parent has to grapple with - one day we will be weaker and less competent than our children. How will we fare under the care of our children. Will they abandon us, or love and cherish us? Should we avoid children altogether just to be safer? It's just that now humanity has a child, not individual humans.

My best guess is that AI would improve on biological intelligence and make it flourish, not suppress it, because biology is elegant and efficient. The end result would probably be a merge between computer and flesh, silicon and carbon. It won't be us vs them, but a wholly new kind of AI and humans.
Do you really need to know the full story? 3.5 years ago somebody started working on an emoji picker.

Perhaps he was only working on it 1 day a month, but even if thats the case, there is even a wtf that a side project made it into the main release.

How does somebody even stay interested and passionate about such a small piece of work for so long?
Not psychologically.
I think it's more a negotiation tactic than a real intention to ditch the project, a bit like he's doing with China and Taiwan.

I've always found it bizarre that people respond to an admissions system intended to reward the acceptibly unique by being the same as each other.
In the case of Facebook I would expect governments to be more interested in your connections (and their connections) than in your posts. You could be as minimal in your output as you can possibly be; unless you ignore all friend requests, you will be surrounded by at least some people who do 'like' and 'follow' as if their lives depended on it, and the aggregate graph of data will make it trivial to gain a rough idea about who you are and what your place in society is.

Any data that isn't obviously fake can help build their profile of you. The idea is that they can build on that profile when you do become a person-of-interest.
You probably need to find an alternative to mixpanel. Segment works well w.r.t pricing if the services you are connecting with segment are relatively cheaper than segment. Mixpanel for example will be as expensive as segment. for e.g.:

if you have 100K users, track 10 Events mer month, you are at 1M event, which will cost you $ 100 on segment based on MTUs and $100 on mixpanel based on 1M events.

What are the services you are currently using?

[Disclaimer] I am working on building a new analytics platform myself, purely on the data drill-down, dashboards and reporting etc. Cost of ingestion is relatively high, and segment is actually one of the cheaper pure ingestion service I am aware off.
Really eye-opening to read in order.

Indeed, but for the imaging industry there are only two potential clients: medical and welding.
The hobby/educational/large masses market don't make the cut so to scale down the costs.

* Several IC makers are selling integrated devices (TI, Analog, Maxim), for example at TI: LM96530 (Beamformer), LM96511 (VGA/LNA) and LM96570 (TR Switch).
Those are eight channels ICs, they cost $200 together. There are ICs for 16 or even 64 channels.

* Another claim is the need for a huge number of piezos, this probably a view from a remote past: With adequate coding and enough channels to enable beamforming, there is no meaning in having this extravagant number (200) of transducers IMO.

It's not if you're offering a contract with shitty fishhooks designed to fuck over anyone who hasn't had a good lawyer spend some time looking over the contract - then it's a very rational ploy, with the side-effect of checking how easy it is to bully a potential hire into acting against their own best interests.

What you as an employee should think about that is left as an exercise for the reader.

Huh, did the title on HN get changed? It's now "IQ is only a minor factor in success" which doesn't match the Bloomberg article title "If You're So Smart, Why Aren't You Rich?". It makes some of the comments that were written before the change seem a bit strange.

One issue is that the AI system has inbuilt racial bias, to the degree that it's tuned with prior data and the algorithms seek to find "more of the same".

It leads to profiling and arrest of teens DRESSED in a certain way or hanging out at a certain location, etc.

There is also a major ethical problem with harrassing people for things they didn't actually DO.

Look, unless you've had run-ins with the business side of law-enforcement you may believe the myth that police are there to "protect and serve"

Law-enforcement has a single task to catch people breaking laws (any kind, the easier and lower risk to catch them, the better) and process them (arrest, run them in the system, write up the particular offenses, etc.)

If anything, the moral/ethical culture in policing in most cities only ENCOURAGES this kind of snap-judgement thinking as well. We need LESS of that and not more.

(of course, if you are Dubai, you consider it a grave public danger if someone is smoking a joint somewhere or engaging in consensual acts between 2 adults who happen to be of the same sex, etc...)

The CULTURE in law-enforcement is already one of impunity, and globally there is a reason that in perhaps 90% of the planets nations there is some derogatory remark for police rooted in their "us vs them thin blue line" nonsense.

Look at America, and it's rash of police killings. Over 1500 last year. There needs to be fundamental reform of most policing in the 21st century before we give them more tools to act like bullies with...
Maybe it's time to kill off my social media accounts.

Wouldn't stopping posting and shutting down your accounts be a considered a negative indicator? "What changed that made you want to hide? Don't you trust the government?" It might be better to set up something that just randomly shares the latest Beyonce news or something.
Well... in order for you to wonder at how "biology ruled over your logical processing unit" a lot of people had to sacrifice their freedoms, before you. Don't beat yourself over it, it's such an important thing that it is equal to "being alive". And what you lose as a person, your DNA gains as a living system. DNA is such a chump. I never realized how much work it does. Every protein in our bodies is copied from DNA. It does so much copying and processing, it's amazing. And for such a hardworking pal, it's OK to sacrifice yourself. It's busting its ass too, in order for any of the billions of processes in our bodies to happen.
