This is not the right place for this discussion, but in both cases the accusations in the pieces retweeted by Greenwald (Harris as 1. a bigoted "scientific racist", 2. a "genocidal fascist maniac") are not supported when Harris' quotes are seen in context.

Greenwald's condemnation of The Guardian's summary of Assange's interview seems accurate. But Greenwald's assessment of Harris, and his tweets in that matter, seem very biased.
I've seen a single Samsung TV up until now, but it was a rather non-common model. Luckly (FOR NOW!) vast majority of TVs still work offline.

In the future this may change - at this point some Samsungs already overlay their ads on volume change UI (and some other parts) to get additional revenue. With such incentives, I'm worried just how long you'll be able to buy a TV that can function offline.
I think its a victim of one of those fractal product bifurcations. I think enterprise is available in at least three different editions, depending on update cadence.
> Yes, that's true, but that not enough to enforce the tax code.

Uh, yes it is. Money came into your bank account, and you'll need to explain its origin if the IRS audits you.

Do you honestly believe the IRS would just give up on enforcing the law because you used a tumbler before you converted the bitcoins to USD and put the money in your bank account? The fact that you have the money in your account at the end of that process is what really matters.

On the surface, it's a pretty weird acquisition. Hasselblad is known for making high end, large format cameras for professional photographers. Their flagship products are large, heavy, and cost tens of thousands of dollars. How do you take a company like that and make it produce small, cheap, and lightweight cameras?
The semantics of 'this' in TS are the same as in JS and they're only a problem if you expect TS to be Java rather than JS.
I'm talking about the problems that a long running company fails to solve for years or decades. The ones that it has become the norm to think of as insoluble. Especially areas where you have been asked to solve a symptom, and instead you solve the cause.

Yes regular stuff gets solved quickly and reliably.
I found a 4K Toshiba that only had Google Cast built in. I bought a Pi and use that as the the smart part..
I already did this course. However there still a few cases which are not clear to me. I don't know if sub-optimal solution I am assuming for those cases is correct or I am doing any mistake with data modeling / there is alternate way of data modeling to avoid it.

For eg.
It is advisable in cassandra to do data modeling around queries. However if I model set a column as clustering column for the purpose of sorting based on it and if that object is dynamic, because it is clustering column, I cannot update its value since it belongs to primary key now for that table. In that case, two options are

1) Sorting on client side (which is bad)
2) Delete complete row and insert new row (which will create tombstone)
Is there other valid way of achieving this in Cassandra data modeling?

Eg. I have table_A and for query of getting all rows with a particular state, table_A_by_state. However since state will be dynamic, and you will need to update state in table_A_by_state which comes with options I mentioned above. Has someone else faced same problem or is there other way of data modeling for this problem?

table_A: Columns: id (K), name, state

table_A_by_state: Columns: id (K), state (C), name

The thing is that I know fOr a fact that in this particular group of people everyone has free SMS and/or iMessage. Moreover, they all know rah others' real names and phone numbers. Some talk on the phone, yet use Facebook for messages. These are not people who care about federation. It's just some kind of bizarre force of habit.

These are also all the people who have at least a thousand unread emails in their inboxes. I know one person who has roughly 60k unread emails dating back to 1997 when she created her AOL account. She is not a Luddite and very good at using other types of tech but somehow never mastered email.

I agree with Stallman, he sounds like radical but he always has been.

We should consider that maybe the Internet really has become a mass surveillance tool, a privacy issue, a billboard and maybe even a distraction from the real issues humans face today.

We might have to except the fact that Google is now, just another major corporation trying to grow infinitely and is less concerned about what it takes to stay at the top, they're walking an ethical tight rope of their own making, especially with regards to supporting the TPP.

I use alternatives frequently now and I feel better for it. DuckDuckGo, TOR, Diconnect.me etc.

We as tech focused people could be doing more to protect users online privacy and I applaud Stallman for having the courage to speak out about these issues, they are important.
I've just uninstalled openSUSE Tumbleweed after using it as my primary dev machine OS for about three months.

One good thing that can be said about it is that it has the most stable KDE packages of all KDE distros that are still left.

Other than that, it was the most unstable non-Microsoft OS I've ever used. Kept crashing on me all the time, updates broke stuff frequently. After the last update, it refused mounting my encrypted home partition for whatever reason.

From my experience, I'd recommend steering way clear of openSUSE if getting actual work done is a priority.

Ask HN: Will we ever have affordable and attractive urban housing for all?
It seems every area of our lives has been improved through technology except for the cost of housing. Food and produce has reduced in price to the point where the average minimum wage provides a decent standard of living but the prospect of house ownership is a 25 to 30 year loan repayment (if you are able to get a loan). I know world populations are increasing causing scarcity and that we are also improving our transportation technology but human accommodation needs have not changed and we still seem unable to "hack" urban housing at scale.
Do you see any changes coming down the line that will improve this situation?

I downloaded Nim last year, wrote the line: echo "Hello World" , and then used the Aporia IDE's feature to compile to executable I believe. That or the command-line method. This was on Windows and the resulting exeutable was indeed sized around 10 MB. I did state that there could have been more optimizations like a release mode flag.

Edit:

The sizes in the link you submitted are very small and rational (what I was expecting to see). I can't remember what it does on Windows without GCC. It might have used Cygwin, but it should have still not been orders of magnitude bigger. This turned me off immediately.
Interesting that Rich Harris is also behind rollup and that Svelte appears to use CommonJS instead of ES modules still.

More likely you'll end up with one of the last ones. Generally it is good to keep at least 6 months of validity on your passport if you plan on using it.

Depending on the country, it might be more difficult to renew it after it has expired than shortly before.
How do you plan on keeping up with all the functionality that Instagram, SnapChat, and Facebook Messenger are adding? Will your app have all the photo filters? Video? Video filters? Multi-participant video calls with filters?

What will you do when the underlying networks start to work against you and shut your third-party client out? They don't want you on their network, they don't want people to use your client, they want people on their client, so they get all the metrics and data.

Look, I had a multi-network IM client for a long time, because screen real estate and notification area icon space was limited, and it was nice to have similar-looking dialog boxes for everyone. But those aren't problems on mobile.

I get it, it would be nice to have the app that everyone has installed, but what problem are you solving for average people? Why would they install your thing and not the real thing?

In the near future someone will hack your shower, hold it for ransom and demand $10 in bitcoin or else you'll have to go dirty and smelling to work.

More seriously, this is bad news for bitcoin. Governments will move in and require tracking of all transactions.
> You have to correlate an entire sub-chain and show that all of the intermediate wallets were controlled by the same entity.

That is not true. In fact, the IRS does not care about the vagaries of bitcoin wallets, or the blockchain. The IRS cares that you got money that you didn't have before.
Maybe, but the data in some of the mongo dbs listed on shodan didn't have anything good. Can't say all, but most of them were just random shit.
The frames in my previous post could be implemented in a graph database, or RDF triples. It's similar to the representation used in Cyc.

I'm quite happy with a hybrid symbolic/statistical approach, which could be useful for disambiguating words and phrases in context.

I think the trick is to avoid generating the parse tree in the first place.

Today's hardware is pessimized for symbol and list processing. They can't be done on GPUs, and CPUs work better on contiguous data.
I also come from a family in the low-income bracket. Despite being a top student in HS I had never heard of AP courses, SAT and I didn't know what the Ivies were outside of 'Harvard'. Unlike you I was not as fortunate, despite being gifted.

I ended up going to an 'ok' state school then couldn't attend graduate studies (despite being accepted to a top program) because I had to get an industry job to support my family. I saved up money, quit my job and now talking with a top 10 program about applying to their program. My story is still untold but I am optimistic about the future.

> GitHub chooses to encrypt their source code to prevent modifications. Our experience at GitLab is that customer modifications don't cause a lot of extra load on our support team. But of course that might be caused by having different architectures and customers.

Most of the companies I have worked at that require code obfuscation and / or encryption do so because they believe someone will steal their source and re-use it or at least discover how it works and re-implement it in an attempt to steal customers (typically they suggest China in all of those). I'm not sure what GitHub's reasoning is but I hadn't heard of someone doing it to prevent additional support load.

That's an interesting an angle I hadn't thought of.

Nope - didn't try them after reading the spec list to see if they check the boxes. They didn't as far as I could see, or they made terrible marketing!

The problem with replacing Skype within an organization is that it can't just be better at some things, it needs to at least do all the things. We also already use other software for desktop sharing, and dont call to phones, so that's handled - but the biggest hurdle when evaluating alternatives is to get a good app for 1-1 chat, group chat, 1-1 calls and group calls, that handles persistent groups (e.g per project, recurrent meetings,..), persistent (server based) chats, and does all of this without requiring multiple contact lists for different tasks (e.g one for voice and one for chat would be a complete no-go)

Also, the fear of crap software in a large corporation is zero, and the switching cost would be nonzero, so the alternative would also have to save money through efficiency or provide some other very tangible benefit such as reduced risk of Trojans, otherwise there would never be a switch.

Hangouts is the best candidate I have found yet, but it's google, and not really better than Skype.

This is a "non computer business" so hosting anything would likely be out of the question, as would anything other than a "run this msi and install the app from AppStore on your phone" kind of setup for each client.
It's amazingly easy to prevent for high value target type web apps use stored procedures only. The web app db user should only have permissions to execute appropriate stored procedures.
Is there a specified reason for it being marked as dangerous? It comes up fine for me. Granted it doesn't support SSL it seems (get that fixed, Orange!) so maybe you're using a plugin that marks non-SSL as dangerous?
Might not work for you, here's what I do:

http://www.solipsys.co.uk/new/LearningLanguages.html?HN_2017...

It's a non-trivial amount of time. You need about 800 to 1000 words to start bootstrapping properly, about 2000 words to communicate effectively (but not fluently). If you target six months, that's still 10 to 15 new words every single day.

For me, I learn sentences and phrases and most of the grammar emerges. That's not true for everyone - you will have to work hard on fixing the bits that don't come as part of the study process.

I spent about an hour every day, plus 30 minutes vocab revision spread through the day, for about six months and I was able to communicate in Danish, although I was never fluent. It's all gone now, you need to use it actively and relentlessly. But that's what I did in my late 30s.

Immersion and practice with native or near native speakers will cut the time in half (for some value of a half).
Ask HN: Best way to represent HTML for deep learning its structure and content?
This question recognizes that we can use deep learning techniques to learn high level semantic vector representations of raw data structures like natural language, images, and graphs. It seems that web pages are some combination of this, and more, and there should in principle be some way to develop a joint model that faithfully represents joint distributions across these types of structures found in raw HTML. This is an open ended question where any feedback and thoughts are helpful. The plan is to research and develop an open source model for representing the features of any web page (like high level activations of a CNN) based on unsupervised training with Common Crawl data.
Whoops! That last update didn't work out so well.

Thanks for the feedback, I just updated it now! :)
A flying XD1 would be incredible, and is probably already possible with the current airframes. Give it a few iterations and you'd probably be able to replace some very expensive cinema rigs.

Thank you, Dave. Don't forget to search for yourself! ;)
Why do you need that outside of gaming and numerical computing? Most software above the system level doesn't need to be super performant, or highly parallel. It's fast enough. We got by with far less resources a decade ago, and still ran a lot of the same software. Why would we need to port all that over to GPUs, etc?
Indeed, and that's one reason why the theory is considered discredited.

Still, it lives on. Not many incorrect ideas do. Perhaps it's because it is a more concise and elegant answer to several unresolved questions (why did self-awareness arise? why did religions change at that particular time?) in ways we don't have any other good answers for.

It's a brilliant idea, that sadly happens to be wrong.
..and it doubles as a heater!
This is a really good summary. I use and love Arch as my desktop. I've also used it as a server and for non-techie family members and in those situations you end up creating a bit of a rod for your own back.

For those cases I use Kubuntu for destops and Ubuntu for servers, pick the current LTS release and install unattended-upgrades to ensure security updates get maintained.
After having to "blow it all away and start again" a few times myself, I now use Jekyll via Docker. Jekyll themselves take care of all the dependencies and my machine can stay clean.

Yep. See the second page of the tax form instructions here: https://apps.irs.gov/app/vita/content/globalmedia/4491_capit...

"If taxpayers cannot provide their basis in the property, the IRS will deem it to be zero."

That means 100% of the sale price of an asset is treated as gains.
- Yes: https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte-loader

- Unsure

- Preact is essentially a lightweight implementation of React. As such, it requires a runtime, albeit an incredibly small one, to dynamically render HTML from JSX (Edit: Well, compiled JSX. Essentially hyperscript function calls.).

Svelte components compile at buildtime to pure es5, so you can just run it directly on the client without a runtime.

There are benefits and drawbacks to each method, but that's the gist of their main differences.
You're an adult now. Everything you read in the media is redolent with opinion judgement. In the nyt, wsj, the post. This article does you the service of making the authors judgement obvious and providing the sources so you can form your own informed opinion - disagree by all means.

Is there somewhere else you can find out the facts about how the post hypes false stories and buries their reaction? Note that Putin, whether he is evil incarnate or not is the current bogeyman for military funding. So you can see why media coverage of the "putin threat" might be important. WMD coverage isn't a long time ago. Do presidential candidates still sing "bomb iran" to a beach boys melody?
Photoshop works really well via Wine, according their testing information. (Which may or may not reflect your experience) https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=applicatio...

Capture One may or may not work with Wine; all the tests in the database are old.

Just out of curiosity, though, as a photographer, what does Linux do better than macOS? Apart from the hardware (and my 2012 MBP works great for development and raw processing), I can't see what is compelling about Linux. I ran Linux on my Thinkpad T42 for years (Debian, Gentoo, Ubuntu), and macOS is so much nicer.
Those typically don't have tuners, but in the age of the cable box that hardly matters.
Perhaps, but it wouldn't explain isolated human populations, of which we have several in the relevant time frames.

Should I give you some examples of "government" paying the ransomware?
My theory about innovation (and I think is related to creativity) is that humans are inherently very innovative. I think that is why we have been so successful as a species. But there are many organizations and constructs in society that teaches people to comport in a way that squelches creativity. Whether it is school, work, the military, religion societal norms and so on. Wherever you turn there is pressure to conform. To be more creative I think you have to consciously work on unlearning the conformist thinking.
I wonder if you could make a filter of sorts that blocked the ethernet signals while still allowing audio/video? Sort of like those USB "condoms" that block data but allow power.
