Just for your reference, I've got Windows 10 and Powershell 5.1 running on an SSD (probably the only hardware that matters for program launch, really).

I can hit Win-X-I and start typing commands as fast as possible and Powershell is up instantly and I've never missed initial characters on a command. For interactive use, it's always there and up quickly.

This is in contrast to the typical start menu search which takes about a second before it registers keystrokes and I'm always searching for something missing the first few letters of the file or executable name.

It's around 1.5 seconds here on an i7-6600U (whether I launch it in its own window or in a cmd window). I'd rather it was 1/10th of that as a maximum, but it's worth the wait!
I would pick anonymity many times, and it can be achieved as a feature. But once you start out anonymous it's really hard to add verifiable identity to that. In other words is easy to strip identity but hard to establish it.
Jaclaz, yes, you are right, there are quite a few companies in this field. Every company has its own approach. For example, Curb does not make device detection, but shows you statistics on the circuit level (you need to connect it to every circuit breaker), Neurio detects only devices which consume more than 400W, etc.

In our case, we are focusing on reliable device detection of major home appliances (we detect home appliances which consume more than 100W). We detect devices by our algorithms and users can teach the system via training mode for more precise recognition. Beside this, we support 3-phase electrical networks (for both grid and grid+solar) and we support 220V/50Hz networks (so Ecoisme works in both Europe and US).

If emotions weren't a problem? Lee Sedol.

If adaptability is the metric, machines still didn't beat humans.

AlphaGo was trained on some set of movements (as were the other AIs that helped train it). It is not a pure game theory construction, so there is no reason to expect it to be as good against an alien as it is against a person.
All things considered, there were a lot of resources out there but you had to do some leg work. I subscribed to Compute! There were also a fair number of machine language programming books by the likes of Richard Mansfield and Jim Butterfield.

(Maybe it helped that I was in Toronto and there was a lot interest in Commodore computers)
Thank you for the suggestion. I'm not so familiar with this. Will this work on frontend too? If I expose the secrets on the fronted, then it's pointless.
Do you have some suggestions on how to do this?
Appreciate the help! It's an important aspect and a very resource intensive process that I need to protect.
At 51, I've noticed there are really two kinds of people at my age... people who are completely beaten, and people who are winning. Once you hit 40 or so, the scope of mortality really hits you. You realize that you've probably already had half your productive life, maybe half a career. You start seeing peers die of "old age" - heart attacks and strokes and stuff.

For most, they're beaten, defeated. They decide this is all there is, and they're going to ride out their remaining years doing as little as possible other than wallowing in regret and yelling at kids to get off their damn lawn. It's sad and terrible. I can hardly bear to be around a lot of people who were so vital when they were young.

The others, though... they see the clock on the wall. They know that, at best, life is more than half over for them already. They have a limited amount of time. They're the ones ticking things off their bucket list. They understand their priorities. Now, you may not understand just how important it is to them to start a new business, or grow the perfect tomato, or travel through China, but they get it in a deep way, much deeper than most 20-somethings can imagine.

You really, really want to work with people like this if you can. They're brilliant.
I hope that means what they're doing is effective and this publicity leads to wider adoption, then. The current form of user-data-vacuuming advertising and the business models it enables are the worst things to happen to the Web certainly, and probably to consumer computer tech more generally. It can't die fast enough.
>You're not paying to be there

It's not a huge amount, but you do pay to be there. See https://developer.chrome.com/webstore/publish

"Before you publish your first app, you must pay a one-time $5 developer signup fee"
This is why networks like buysellads started. Advertisers wanted blog traffic but didn't want direct deals or standard adsense units.

My resource for learning 6502 machine language was the Apple ][ Reference Manual:
http://www.classiccmp.org/cini/pdf/Apple/Apple%20II%20Refere...

which had appendices that covered the instruction set and opcodes, useful addresses, ROM listings, and all other kinds of useful stuff. What a great manual that was!
> there is no reason other than a false sense of entitlement to whine about it

So the rest of us shouldn't be aware of what Google is doing and base our choice of browser on that?

I agree Google, Apple, etc. are absolutely entitled to kick people from their stores for whatever reason they want. But, we should also be informed of this especially when it seems to be based on self interest rather than protecting their users.
Paperwhite has been really good to me. Both Oasis and Voyage look great as well - they have higher resolution than the Paperwhite. And they have real buttons to move between pages, so if I were buying a Kindle today I'd buy one of them depending on my budget (Oasis is more expensive, but slimmer).
I find it a bit harsh to be so hostile towards online ads. After all, it's has been a significant source of income for innovative companies or services that couldn't exist otherwise, because users are notoriously reluctant to pay for virtual goods.

Yes, tracking and overly intrusive fullpage popups are real issues, but not all ads are inherently evil.
Relatively weak indeed, as expected from a standard that wasn't made recently. Still, about 4000 times slower than a single hash, which adds about as much as adding two characters to the password if I'm not mistaken (assuming a random password, which they usually aren't, which gives roughly 94*94=9k extra possibilities -- a bit more than 4k but the same order of magnitude).
I'm not sure why you're quoting that? I literally just installed the plugin.

Google has blocked installing AdNauseam from the Chrome store and installing the .crx file manually.

Manually installing the developer package is completely unhampered.
Yesss, and with video ads, where VAST is involved, once the ad script starts loading, it has no knowledge about the actual media file, as it has to follow a chain of XML files leading to different middlemen (for tracking purposes), ad exchanges, etc... Bidders in ad exchanges can be exchanges as well.

Dealing with bots, fraudulent clicks and malware is one of the things that sets some ad platforms from the really nasty ones.
For every male I know that has strong opinions about IPAs and Overwatch, I know two women that spend their weekends working on things we call "maker projects" when dudes do them, but other things when women do them because women have been doing them forever. Have you ever paid serious attention to a real sewing project? It's a lot more like software construction than most of the things dudes do in their spare time.
In general, I suspect they know. If the death was caused by the drug the patient should show signs of abnormal immune response, like those of a cytokine storm: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytokine_storm

Also if the trial is allowed to continue, the study's monitors have decided that the study protocol wasn't violated, thus the drug wasn't 'misbehaving' to an unacceptable degree. Of course in late stage cancers with few/no further approved treatments, the decision of go vs no go on any course of action is often left to the patient and family, so 'unacceptable' can become a matter of will.

From all I've read, administration of immunotherapies of all kinds is tricky and often leads to treatment complications often due to improper administation of the drug or inadequacies in monitoring the patients' response, since most doctors (like oncologists) are inexperienced in recognizing early signs of abnormal immune response.
>> My main issue with ad networks is that they simply aren't technically competent enough to run an internet facing business.

As someone who works in Ad tech, let me be the first to say that there are a few A-players and a ton of C-players. The problem is, the C-players are so crappy that everyone associates all of ad tech with them. A good analogy is the difference between Black Hat and White Hat SEO. Most of the C-players right now don't have any incentive to invest in the tech so they can be where my employer currently is on that spectrum.

Clarification: I don't speak for my employer.
I remember an article here on HN about somebody that trained a neural network to explain the decisions of another NN. I think it's fitting :)
That's not the justification the store gave for banning it, though.
> to free up that money the sellers of goods and services would have to stop charging us for their ads,

There is a possible mechanism that could free up that money: without ads sellers can't rely on popularity to sell their products and have to rely more on underselling the competition.
Unit motto: I AM THE NIGHT
The sponsorship model is once again becoming popular on the web, something I'm not sure if I'm happy about. On the one hand, it's a lot nicer than ads, but OTOH, it makes me more suspicious any recommendations from people who have been sponsored. Did you recommend that we use that product because you genuinely like it, and thus accepted sponsorship from them, or are you only pretending to like it because you're getting paid? It's hard to tell.

The "sponsored by viewers like you" approach (aka Patreon, the NPR pledge drive, etc) solves this problem, but it's rare that anything has an audience big enough to support it.

But hey, one of the benefits of sponsored content is that at least the ads (if that's how the sponsorship works: it usually is in podcasts and video, which are where this is really taking off, moreso than blogs) are entertaining. I skip ads as quickly as possible for the most part. OTOH, I have repeatedly watched an hour-long compilation of ads for SquareSpace taken from the Co-Optional podcast. Which were compiled by popular demand.

So that's a benefit to sponsorship for companies: if you can get me to willingly watch your ads, because they're that good, you've effectively won.
Sorry, not at the moment. I figured out those parameters after tweaking things a bit. You might want to start the conversion with just the name of the file, and use the interactive prompt to try out various parameters.
Rocketing to Energy Sustainability
> Assembly language is the lowest level of abstraction in computers - the point at which the code is still readable.

For simple enough instruction sets it was not unheard of that people memorized the actual opcodes. In school, at the transition from terminals to micros, a friend of mine walked up to one of the new Commodore 6502 machines and entered a simple program in hex directly into the monitor program. For a while I had the common opcodes for the RCA 1802 memorized, due to working with a project board without an assembler (writing assembly on paper, then hand assembling into opcodes, then keying in the opcodes).

There's no returning to those days and I wouldn't if I could, but I can't help but think that I was lucky to have experienced that for the knowledge and perspective.

Hey Chris,
Hello Neighbor! Thought about this idea in the Lewisburg (Central Susquehanna Valley) region and was wondering how the pole access stuff works? Also, what kind of densities do you need to get the WISP profitable to be able to make a move to fiber? Would love to email with you - its in my bio.
Yes, I'm male. No, I've never opened a jar for my wife. My wife actually has as much physical strength as I, perhaps more.

For what it's worth, there were 3 female crew members with which I worked at the remodeling company. None of them had issues turning a pipe wrench. It's seriously not as strenuous as you seem to think. Have you tried it?

Edit:
I also feel like you are missing the point, which is that there is relatively little call for diversity outside of "more women in STEM".

105-Year-Old Cyclist Rides 14 Miles in an Hour En Route to a World Record
This is very similar (but far better done) to something I did about 8 years ago for a client while I was working in Australia. The idea was they had a photo of a bedroom and they could draw on top of the image to isolate items in the room that could be purchased.

What I wrote was very very basic, but what you've done is far more impressive and awesome.

Edit: This is something I wouldn't block (from what I currently see) unless it attempted to know everything about me. Damn tracking.
People should still be giving Google shit for decisions like that, even if they're not surprised.
But the analogy doesn't hold too well. There were hard limits on the space to explore and live. The only limit on the Internet is the global attention span. People who want wilderness can find it. It just isn't a hell of a lot of fun being paid no attention whatsoever. But it does mean there are opportunities for refragmentation.

fyi, I did a small edit: I forgot to mention "support" which is arguably the most important role once you have an actual product.

I solicit users to email whenever they have a question/comment/issue and reply to everything. Overall I think I have provided email support to aprox 50% of my paying customers, and maybe half of the support was provided before they decided to pay, so it is very important :)

> bootcamps - the best way of driving both wages and software quality down

I'm not sure that's true, other than the obvious issue of supply vs. demand, where wages are concerned. As for quality, I've worked with college-trained programmers who wrote awful code, and I've worked with self-taught programmers who wrote amazing code. Some of the best programmers I've ever worked with were self-taught.

I never attended a bootcamp, but I have mentored for Rails Girls, Girl Develop It, and a bootcamp or two. In my experience, bootcamps are good places to learn how to write certain types of code. They don't help much in the way of theory, algorithms, or other low-level details, but for teaching people how to write typical business applications, they are a pretty good place to start, I think.

I also think bootcamps are good at weeding out those with no aptitude or desire for programming. My wife attended a bootcamp, and there were two types of people who attended with her. Those who took the task seriously, studied the materials, read the books, and practiced, practiced, practiced, and those who thought that paying the $5,000 to $10,000 was all the effort they had to apply, and that someone else would magically load their minds with the requisite information, once they had achieved that monetary apex. The first types got jobs. The latter types did not.
I have a test page that does 1000 images with 2-4 PLEENQs on each image, and performance is good with an 8-gig of ram mac mini and an iPhone 5 (my test platform for the mobile version).

I do about 10 million impressions a day, and the request to the server is a pretty consistent ~200ms, along with an async load that won't affect overall page load.
I have the feeling this water-cooler talk thing is mostly an issue if there is no focus or the management is bad.

If everything is fine, I don't talk much "privately" with people at work and some "more social" individuals talk about their private things, when "at the cooler".

If there are problems in management, we talk about these "at the cooler".
But WMI is really, really huge. I can understand that there is a bit resistance to providing cmdlet wrappers around every single WMI class, although I think on Windows Server there are a lot more things exposed by default (and I think even more in modules that are not loaded by default).

Also, since PowerShell can work with WMI objects natively it's already close to what a cmdlet can provide.
The advertisers don't mind paying for disruptive, intrusive, battery-draining, bandwidth-consuming, rich-media advertisements, so I don't mind draining their wallets.
I don't know why unpredictability must always be considered a strategy all its own and not part of a larger strategy.

I've been reading a lot about John Boyd and the OODA loop, and one of the major takeaways was that if you have a "fingertip feeling" on changing battle conditions, acting unpredictably from time to time can disorient the enemy commander, expand their loop and therefore allow you to act at a faster tempo than he. This idea was not new but something he adapted from Sun Tzu's "cheng" and "chi", his two fundamental moves of war, from which all maneuvers and strategies are built.
> Do I understand correctly that Google Chrome is uninstalling software that the user has deliberately chosen to (not tricked into) install?

How would Chrome discern deliberately installed extensions from extensions the user has been tricked into installing?
If Google where clever they would welcome this as creative destruction and search for a way to diversify there revenue stream mono-culture. But they cant, because they are the gold standard, and everything new will look like dirt besides the dairy cow that keeps the comfy live afloat. Thus google has become Microsoft, and Microsoft has become Google, the cycle is complete.
You keep it business professional.

3? 4? years down the line - you run into him / her and they've changed (in whatever way) - maybe you have to work together again or choose to work together again.

Ie: never burn a bridge. Unless they killed your cat or dog or sued you - it's not worth it.
I second this. One can also get prescription reading glasses, which in my opinion, is a better choice.
Ohhh... now they've done it. As an EMT, I can attest to the fact that "Ambulance Driver" is insulting. "Drivers" don't know how to provide patient care.

And if they're including paramedics in that, then I hope that Ms. Miller doesn't need emergency medical services any time soon. Those folks take deep offense to the term "Ambulance Driver".
"We don't know if it's really Flash, but it makes sense because most of the DPRK websites are using Flash to serve video… and deliver remote exploits."
If we take that attitude, we will be pretty miserable, at least for most of us. We all know people who have hit it big for various reasons. They moved to SV, NYC, they learned poker, they bought a lottery ticket, they took stock options in a non name startup, they applied to an unknown startup, they decided to learn ML when it wasn't hip, They played sports when I didn't and went pro, they wanted to sing and now I hear them on the radio, whatever the reason, they did something and it worked out for them. At the end of the day, it's taking chances. Don't take chances blindly.
Executable name would probably be valuable. They could easily maintain a hand-curated list of Office-alikes, for instance (the list would be small enough to manage), to track what competitive products are being used and any trend in those.

This would provide competitive information and could help point the way to features that are important to users, based on the differentiation between the competitive product and Office.

I have no idea if they do this or not, but it's something that anonymous data could be used for outside of just Windows features and programs.

Yes, you could circumvent this sort of thing, but this is a case of the 99.99% of people who wouldn't care or know how to vs the .001% who do. For the use case outlined above, that's irrelevant.
I'm not that knowledgeable, but I've been following it.

My impression is that it's quite boring. Most treatments fail at later stages, and nobody talks about them anymore, some treatments are successful and get to market, what means that chemo for a kind of cancer now has less collateral effects, and a higher surviving rate. Nothing has a huge, world changing impact the press makes claims it would have.

Keep repeating that, and you get the nice increasing survival rates for cancer you see on the statistics... What is a huge world changing impact, but only in aggregate.
Repeated negotiations benefit from random behavior. Each side benefits from information disparity, so if they always use identical approaches they start leaking more information than they want to.
This.

I worked in a few remote teams and most had bad leadership.

No process or it changed every month or it wasn't really used by anyone etc.

No single source of truth. Some people write in slack, some in quip, some per mail, some in trello, some in github...

I think people are trying to run remote teams like "local" ones and can't understand that they are different.

"People have to sit in one room to be more productive" - "we need water cooler talk to get the word around" - blablabla
