You are painting with a massively large roller! ;)

I live near Minneapolis which is a beautiful city with all sorts of museums, theaters, and recreational activities. It is a great biking town to boot. It is affordable. The majority of the public schools are quite good and many are excellent.

There are great jobs in the area at companies large and small. I've traveled throughout the world and would not trade it for anywhere. It is a wonderful place to call home!
I wonder how the German OP is helped when Germany left the EU. What do we do with Oettinger? Tie him to a tree and hope someone feeds him from time to time? He is German, we'd have to take him with us!
Minimal Rust containers on ARMv7
My fear is that the situation where I can't commute into a major city gets very boring. If the cost of living were the same in both locations, then we'd pick the longer commute so I can have a career "when I want it."
Without development of technique like Dropout Batch normalization, residual connection, better optimizer like Adam, even with enough data and computational power, DL won't be nearly as powerful as it is today.
A lot of words are overloaded, across domains as well as within domains, that is not ideal but also no unsurmountable problem, you can always clarify your usage by providing definitions. There is certainly not much of a point to explain things in precise and correct terminology if this prevents the intended audience from understanding you. On the other hand, people aware of the technical details will have no big difficulties to understand something despite simplifications or inaccurate terminology.

I am actually not even sure whether zero-knowledge is not technically correct here. Terms like zero-knowledge proof or zero-knowledge protocol have very specific meanings and certainly do not apply here, but is zero-knowledge on its own really used for something more specific or other than not leaking knowledge? I also immediately thought of zero-knowledge proofs and protocols but nothing like that is mentioned anywhere, at least as far as I can tell, so it was kind if my mistake to read something into it that was not actually there.

EDIT: Zero-knowledge seems to indeed have a very specific technical meaning on its own [1], at least in the context of zero-knowledge proofs.

I don't do any real tracking except for login times, so here is the best data i can offer (for mastodon.social exclusively, other Mastodon and GNU social instances are obviously excluded but should count towards your question because of federation):

1687 users active in the last 14 days. 16,744 registered accounts on mastodon.social. 18,347 accounts in total known to this instance. 460,563 statuses in the database, 306,905 created by locally registered users. 173 different Mastodon/GNU social instances known to this instance (i.e. at least one account from such an instance in the database).

Hopefully that answers your question!
The problem is that accurately reproducing this failure case is very difficult. You need to replicate the thermal properties of the loading process and the tanks, at the same speed with the same amounts of propellant and helium, effectively meaning that you have to do it with a full-size tank, and with a large amount of pad equipment. This is all extremely dangerous and almost certainly will result, if successful, in the loss of the testing stand.
Right, totally, and I've got three of the little devils so clearly I'm not entirely down on the experience, but having a kid could well be the single most stressful (and possibly expensive—childcare or having one partner stay home is really really expensive) event/decision in an HNer's life for a variety of reasons that aren't always obvious to non-parents. It's no picnic.
Agreed, thanks for writing this.

Sure, at the point of signficant life extension we would need to set stricter limits on population size, but we're not quite there yet. Also, whilst there is some overlap, I think it's helpful to think of environmental damage and overpopulation as separate, as we'll have a hard enough time convincing people to change their daily habits without also asking them to give up on the idea on having multiple kids.

Fredkin's paradox
I think he's arguing that the current NN approach for NLP is not going to lead to embeddings that are going to make revolutionary progress in NLP.

And there have been attempts to ascribe a semantics to natural language from text (for ex. see CCG grammars). The datasets are not as big as for vision tho, yes. But I'm not convinced that we need such explicit datasets to be able solve this problem.
Astranis (YC W16) | San Francisco, CA | Full-Time and Internships | Onsite | US Citizen or Green Card

We’re building small, low-cost telecommunications satellites. Our mission is to help bring the 4 billion people online who are without internet. And to pull it off we have to reinvent microwave radios in space using SDRs.

Work with incredibly smart people who have flown things in space before. Well-funded, but still a small team that moves fast. No prior space experience needed, you just need to enjoy getting your hands dirty with real hardware and be ok with struggling to do things that seem impossibly hard.

Roles we’re hiring for include:

* Internships (EE, ME, Aerospace, CS) -- Positions available both immediately and for summer 2017. Help design, build, and test real hardware that will fly in space. To apply you should already have some hands-on experience with hardware in your field.

* Power electronics -- Design ~2 kW satellite power systems, including solar arrays and electronics for power regulation and distribution

* Fault tolerant systems -- Design fault tolerant electronics for operating in a radiation environment

* RF/Microwave -- work across a broad range designing and implementing RF systems at microwave frequencies, including LNAs and power amplifiers

* DSP/FPGA -- program FPGA hardware, develop custom DSP IP cores and integrate off-the-shelf IP cores
Please email john@astranis.com if you’re interested in learning more.
> but what happens when everyone who currently invests their money to produce this passive income decides to simply spend it instead since they wouldn't get to use any return from their investments?

We would then experience true economic recovery, where everyone can access the inventory of dollars, as opposed to the current "asset based" recovery we are now experiencing. Which is basically economic recovery for those who own hard assets.
> It's basically impossible to use Redis accidentally in the way you're suggesting - to have absolutely no idea what you're getting into and fail to understand that it can run out of memory and doesn't provide security.

It emphatically is not "basically impossible". I've worked with numerous teams where--well, we needed a key/value store, and Redis is cool, so let's use Redis. Hell, we don't even have to read the manual in the hallowed Age of Docker, just pull a container and there we go! Now we have Redis. Did we think about how it worked? Did we think about the security implications? No, because we needed a key/value store and now we have one and we can stop thinking about it now.

(This is why people pay me the medium bucks: to, eventually and usually after getting screwed and potentially harming their users who have no say in the matter, fix their mistakes.)

We have created a culture where ignorance of everything that is not your stack of choice is OK--and your dependencies are somehow not part of that stack, just your programming language and maybe its runtime. This is a bad culture, but it's what we've got and what the Thought Leaders seem to want. It falls to people who do give a shit to build firebreaks to control the damage that can be wrought by the practitioners of the culture of ignorance.

If nothing else, we owe it to the suckers who trust these people to do right by them.
"GNU social" - good, I like that protocol suite... But how do I discover fellow users to fill my subscription list across different sites ? Can I search across the whole networks ? These are inherently easier with a centralized service - and they are critical to adoption... How are decentralized services going to provide functionality to satisfy those needs ?

It's a free service, with volunteers providing the servers. There is monitoring, but as far as I'm aware, common ntpds don't relookup the configured servers while running, so you're going to be stuck to servers that tested good when your server started.

The downside of nist.gov servers is that they're sometimes very overloaded (and the one hosted in Washington state tends to have network path asymmetry, resulting in a large time offset reported).

There are some lists of public servers linked from this page:

I just wanted to emphasize that the console maker, somehow, has to to demonstrate it takes appropriate measures to protect intellectual property. If the lawyers of the game publisher can prove that they are legally forced to use all measures technically available, then they will comply.

The fact that there exists other, less or more secure, operating system is not a question here. It's just the relationship between, say, EA FIFA 17 legal team and Microsoft game distribution team.

That's true. We'd all be much more equally poor.

There's also be no capital accumulating for innovation. No annoying technology to enable people to make high salaries. And none of the annoying tax revenues collected from them.

About me: http://www.kashifaziz.me
Searle's Chinese Room is addressing something different from intelligence; it's concerned with the what happens /within/ the intelligent mind, whereas inputs and outputs are the only things that matter here. To be more specific, in the question of whether deep learning can be used to generate and/or comprehend natural language, we are not concerned with whether the algorithm is conscious of what it's doing as longs as the results are good.
"Leap smearing" is a clever solution when dealing with software that cannot tell time properly, but it does mean that your clocks will be up to half a second out, on a day with a leap second. Useful perhaps if you run a datacenter, but a poor solution if you actually care about accurate timekeeping.

I don't think there would be much difference to her story had she lived in e.g. Stockholm instead of Zurich.

I make a normal software dev salary, after 13 years in Stockholm I make around $90k, and pay around $30k in (income) taxes. For that I get healthcare, 480 days paid leave per child (to share between parents), free education for the kids (including daycare from age 1). I don't worry about retiring.

I could probably make more money in (parts of) the US, even after paying for healthcare, daycare, college, pensions, parental leave, 6 weeks a year off etc. But still I wouldn't say that would make me better off - mostly because of culture - it would be career suicide to take a year off with each child in the US, even if I could afford it. It would also seem weird that I had to drop the kids off at 8 and leave to pick them up at 4pm, for 7 years...
>Britain was always an exception with its recent imperialist past

This is a joke, right? Ever heard of French Indochina, French Syria, or the Algerian War? Or how about the Belgian Congo? Or Spanish Morocco? All from the second half of the 20th century.

And let's not forget the Germans conquering all of Europe. And your own country, Finland, siding with them.

Sure but most of the EU have the benefits this article talks about. Not the high salary, but all the rest.
Dismissing anecdotes about failure as FUD is not constructive. FUD is first and foremost a business tactic.

Sure, anecdotes aren't necessarily that useful. For every happy Mac user there seems to be an angry one who always had hardware problems, for example. But it's not exactly news that Linux has issues with hardware compatibility. It's the nature of the beast, really; Apple is able to target a very specific configuration, whereas Linux has to work on any old crappy Windows PC.
"If you're willing to do the extra work, you can get a cloud service like Dream Objects, and use software like duply/duplicity to store your files online and encrypted. You may lose some flexibility, though."

I encourage you to look into borg backup[1][2] which appears to have replaced duplicity as the de facto standard for "robust backups that the provider knows nothing about".

This is really the direction you look for providers[3] to go in - giving you a blank slate to write whatever bits you want to and allowing you to control the encryption with your own tools.

If you point borg (or duplicity) at even the most privacy-antagonistic provider, they still have nothing but gibberish.

Ask HN: What's next for a startup CTO?
Hi HN,

I'm a startup CTO and cofounder but leaving my current role in 2 weeks (reasons are not relevant to next job), and wondering what kind of job could come next.

What kind of roles would you hire someone like me for? Or, if you're someone like me, what role did you do next?

Key facts:
- in Europe, would stay within Europe for next job
- successful, growing medical tech startup but don't want to stay in that industry
- run the technical side of my startup for several years and built team to 15
- computer science degree
- worked in variety of tech roles before this for 10 years
- I want interesting work. Would stay in startups but need a fair salary to support family. Would also work in mature companies but don't know what roles I should aim for.
I grew up in the US and Brazil, and over the past 20 years have lived in Minneapolis, Santa Fe, San Francisco, Brasilia and London.

I know where you're coming from, the US has by far the highest wage to cost of living ratio, and it seems to have the cheapest consumer and luxury goods by far. An aspirational materialistic lifestyle is far more accessible to the middle class in America than anywhere else.

That said, does this equate to happiness? For instance when I lived in London, I was paid less and my money didn't go as far, but I was able to live without a car, enjoy tons of free museums and a lot more accessible culture in general, and as a family man had a lot less stress about health care with the NHS.

I realize that if you have no economic opportunity that easily trumps lifestyle considerations, and Europe, especially southern Europe is facing some major challenges, but I still think Europe has a lot of qualities that the US could learn from.
You can spot the Americans who are responding to you. They are the ones who say it's not every job like this. Or that some areas of the country are different. You'll notice that the concept of having worker protections like mandatory paid time off etc. mandated by law and enforced by the government doesn't figure prominently into their thinking. It provides insight into the politics of the country. Looking to government for protection from exploitation by employers, polluters, etc. is not what a large percent of Americans do.

The NTP algorithm compensates for delays in network traffic. It will result in a less accurate time, but it does not cause an offset in the resulting time.

"With the coming of VR I expect we're going to see more commonly people who barely if ever go on vacation but go on vacation via VR."

As an introvert who also enjoys VR, I doubt many people will do VR instead of physical vacation trips. The pros of real life trips (people, food, weather, sports) outway the those offered by current or near future VR (go 'anywhere', teleport instantly, etc.). Hopefully the future will prove me wrong.
I think what he's asking is how one would know whether the entire caldera was at risk or whether there was just a risk of a small eruption, such as in the 16th century. I'm guessing the answer is that "they don't".
Immigration isn't that great in switzerland. It takes even longer than the USA to get citizenship.

A high income is also good for saving, so you can bootstrap your own ventures in life instead of being beholden to a govt' retirement program or a specific employer.

Really? I thought for both of those, you'd want to add some corrections anyway, like for astronomy, your longitude, because usually you aren't in the middle of your time zone anyway.

And if you need to add corrections anyway, why not quit adding leap seconds and handle them in those corrections?

That's all fine and good, but the only source NYTimes article you suggested is SpaceX, so you're not getting commentary from any outside experts. Instead, you are just getting quotes and paraphrases from this and previous SpaceX press releases.
>I wonder how viable the EU is now. They've had so many tests and failed. They failed to have a unified front on the Iraq war.

Why should they have a "unified front" in an irrelevant peripheral war?

>They failed to provide any military deterrence to the Russian federation

Because the "Russian federation" is a viable antagonist for EU?

If anything, the US overestimates how important its "shield" is, as if they are some kind of cavalry and EU a damsel in distress.

US involvement and NATO are mostly remnants of the Cold War, when USSR and its satellites in Eastern Europe was indeed a formidable antagonist for the European countries. The US, due to its size and economic/diplomatic influence still has lots of European politicians by the balls, and can buy others. This is what prevents an EU-driven NATO-like body.

That, plus the fact that EU is just a loose union of different national countries, and not an actual federation of a single people, like the US is, and European national interest don't always see eye to eye.

Russia is of little consequence in the European state of affairs/influence, and fundamentalism terrorism from the failed states is a mess the US created and/or fueled, and which European powers like France and UK could have handled 10 times better (and had, in the past).
How many paid holiday's are there in Denmark or Switzerland? Or what is the total number of paid days off including vacation and holidays? I'd say the average number of holidays for white collar workers in the U.S. is about 10 days.
Not necessarily. In my current industry if you don't work for maximum weekly work hours, saturday will be count as a work day if you literally work or not. So a week vacation is counted 6 days.
