It is not the "money side" that directs propaganda. That meme itself is propaganda to soften minds.

Directing propaganda is the job of intelligence agencies.

The main geopolitical divide between power/intelligence factions in US in past few decades has been, and remains, the question of China-Russia relationship.

One camp believed the Sino-Soviet break was real and bet the Western farm on integrating China into the Western order. The other camp did not believe and used this very same publication, The Washington Post, to set into motion the removal of Nixon (who initiated the openning of China).

Given Washington Post's over the top anti-Russian stance these days, and the incoming clique's equally over the top statements viz a viz China ("bad") and Russia ("good"), what we're seeing here is either a real or theatrical conflict between factions that has spilled over to the propaganda organs of powerful Americans.
I'm not defending the story at all. It ran on the word of two insiders, one of them anonymous. It turned out to be wrong. No shock there. And news production is in no way associated with exceptional care - and never has been. It's associated with rushing copy out for tight deadlines.

There are lots of problems with the way news is made. But in this case, what was actually reported ('officials say Russia implicated') is true. What seems to be false is that the officials' claims had any merit. Newsroom incentives are to get breaking news out. That's one reason a lot of stuff in the papers is wrong.

Incidentally, investigative journalists don't do breaking news - they run long term investigations, which are usually published as such. They're massively important, but not a panacea for poor news coverage.
I went through the Alexa Skills tutorial and I'm looking into making another bot. I agree with the article that designing the natural language interface is the hardest part and they touch thisbut from a messaging viewpoint. It looks like most APIs attack this using some event driven system.

Well, revenue is already falling [1].

If you look at the first graph (revenue) you'll see that revenue is declining. Click "Trailing 12 months" to remove the seasonal trends.

I've got a Dell Developer Edition arriving on Thursday and everything I've been reading about Arch has been seriously considering installing it almost immediately.
Block an intersection in Chicago and people will usually make you feel like you're a bad person and you did a bad thing. I've seen people nearly pull onto the sidewalk to get out of an intersection they were blocking.
How do companies own the rights to legal decisions? Can you not go to the court and purchase them somehow?
It's not always that much more expensive but yeah sometimes the asks are crazy. A year ago I booked a flight on Virgin Atlantic in Economy and they offered an upgrade to "Upper Class" (their term) for $500 roundtrip to Europe per person. That was great value.

United has "Economy Plus" which is more legroom. I'm 6'2" and I find it fine. My advice is to upgrade to that and pay extra for the exit row. If there are 2 exit rows then book the one behind the one in front. You can't recline into an exit row so with the second set of exit rows you get a ton of space and no one that can recline into you.
I use earlyoom to prevent the godawful slowdown that comes with running low on memory, and I've found that it aggressively kills Gmail. There are times I've actually had to turn earlyoom off in order to read my mail, even.
Have you considered CircleCI? They have iOS/OSX toolchain support.
looking forward for your pull request and bug reports.
Not every business owner is an elite. This makes starting a business very difficult because now you have to pay minimum wage AND healthcare.
No, it's very easy. Never enter the intersection unless you can make it all the way across. Even if the light is green you stop at the intersection if you don't have room to go on the other side.
One thing Apple needs to fix ASAP is online (iCloud) and offline storage (iPhone).

Almost all my family members are having issues with running out of space on their iPhone. Some even bought additional iCloud to improve storage space only to be completely shocked and pissed to find that iCloud isn't really add additional storage (it is just for synchronization).

On top of this Google is taking serious advantage of Apple's bad execution with a fairly effective marketing campaign.

In some regards the most important thing about your phone these days is the memories you have collected and not so much what operating system or form factor is being used.

Developing machine learning strategy for business in 7 steps
I don't generally want to pay for business class, but frequent flyer programs and/or premium economy usually takes care of things like fast track, lounge access and priority boarding. But nothing of that is really special in itself.

What I want is an airline that doesn't undermine their own business by making things better for their passengers, but instead have incentive both to make things better and more efficient. If there's no upsell the airline have to make sure things are efficient and there's less reason to hold back on "goodies".

I know there have been attempts to make such airlines in the past, but maybe with the new smaller long range aircraft, that can go from smaller airports, and more competitive taxi market, for transfer, it could work.
I mean, this same mindset did win the election...
No, because "pretty good" isn't good enough when your competition is Apple.

There haven't been any significant UI paradigm changes in Linux desktops for quite a few years. They've become boring technology, for the better.
> It was really really difficult.

I think that this was easier explained in "The Selfish Gene". Individual altruism is an emergent characteristic of a selfish gene.

I risk my live 10 times to save others until I die without off-spring. It is altruistic for me, but the gene has saved 10 people that are probably related to me. That means that the gene has a probability over 10% to be in that other individuals it is a win for the gene.

From my point of view it sucks, I don't have offspring. But the gene survives and prospers. This is still more extreme in species like bumblebees where sisters share 75% of their genes.

For monozygotic twins there is a similar case. From the gene perspective is irrelevant if one survives or the other, even that it is really important for the individuals.
Using the term "mainstream media" makes me wince, but I agree with you. It's their ham-handed attempt to recover from being exposed as puppets of the Democratic Party; doubling down on the big lie that anything that runs counter to their narrative is "fake news" and that social media is to blame, not lack of journalistic integrity in previously (somewhat) trusted organizations.

Unfortunately, they'll be around for a long time, and definitely long enough to get away with the current popular trick: publishing lies, waiting for other organizations to reprint those lies, then issuing corrections quietly so that rubes talk about how that's proof of integrity.
I've also tried to use a Linux VM on Widnows due to issues with Node, paths in various Scala libs, and a dozen other problems.

Cygwin works for 50%, but not for everything.

I've tried Win 10 with Subsystem for Linux (Ubuntu Bash) and unfortunately it is not even close to production ready. Besides, I'm terribly disappointed with Win 10 after having been really happy with Windows 7 since its release.

Running a few Java and Javascript projects in IntelliJ on a VM is an exercise in frustration, even on a very powerful Dell Precision with an I7, SSD, and 32 GB of ram.

It works somewhat, but I'm very happy with my work provided 2015 MB Pro with only 16GB of ram. With Brew, Docker, etc. everything works great. If work hadn't paid for the Mac, I don't think I'd buy a new model due to the price and lack of upgradability, no escape key, ports, etc.

That being said, I've just installed Fedora 25 on a second m2 drive I put into my one Win 10 laptop. So far it is pretty good for dev work. It's not perfect, but it's approaching usability with a small Win VM for Office.
The new wave of chatbots gives me a fuzzy feeling, because I began programming ~2000 by writing chat-bots for IRC in mIRC script.

They didn't have NLP, but some easy commands and they didn't need to scale much, because I always had below 1000 users at the same time. News bots, filesharing bots, social network/user stat bots, game bots, etc.

Funny that I accomplished to write a news bot that got its data from some news site via sockets by copy-paste and edit some code I found online. I didn't even know what arrays were, let alone half ot the code I copied. But somehow I got the target host changed and the needed data parsed out of the HTML.
I've gotten a few of these calls. I have to admit there was a brief moment of concern when they said they were from the IRS. Then I realized that they would probably send me a letter in the mail instead of call me randomly. The language and words used in the conversation were also a bit "off". It's sad to see that some people fall for this enough to send money....

I feel like technology can help here. If we had a consistent way to dealing with the US federal government - a one-stop-shop online portal for example to pay taxes, manage social security, get a new passport - maybe such fraud would be mitigated.
I've heard it said that, over its history, commercial aviation as a whole has never made money. However, I haven't seen a good source for that and, with consolidation and lower fuel prices, the airline industry has generally done pretty well over the past decade.
Hi, founder of ClusterHQ here. I was just reminiscing over the demise of my company, and saw this comment had not been replied to.

I can categorically state that there was no pressure to install back-doors or any Lavabit-style problems.

As for your other comment, as a business you don't get to choose when you run out of money. I believe there was a plan to secure more money, and when that plan failed the employees were told immediately. The timing is irrelevant.
> But it's crazy that 100 year old scientific works can still be under copyright and illegal to distribute.

That's why it shouldn't be considered plagiarism for the author or someone eles to republish those works at freer pastures.

But who are we kidding, many journals refuse to publish validation of existing studies, which is the basis of empirical science.

They refuse to do science properly and we are worried about them not giving access to information.

Many bikers aren't health, somewhat fit individuals with a decent bike capable of going 30km/h for extended periods of time. They're normal people on some random cheap bike just who want to get to work without being drenched in sweat. Those are the people you have to take into account, not active people out biking for fun.
Taking trains between any of Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newark, NYC, and Boston is not really comparable to doing so in the rest of the country, (because those are on the Acela Express line which, while not as nice as high-speed rail in Europe or Asia, is a reasonably acceptable substitute).

I think their scale is actually a part of the problem. They try to act like a small company but they aren't anymore, and it's working against them.

Erik Meijer gave a talk called "Category Theory, The essence of interface-based design" https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JMP6gI5mLHc

Fundamentally, category theory is seen as some sort of holy grail of programming. The hope is that learning about only one API will let you interact naturally and composably with any interface conforming to that design.
I'm certainly not convinced any ML system can pass a high-stakes, niche-interests version of the Turing test (and since winning people's trust back after losing their money is an emotionally charged thing, probably something akin to Philip K Dick's Voigt Kampf empathy test too). Even if they could, you haven't got a training set because (i) client conversations aren't usually on the record (ii) none of the previous human conversations that could be used if they had been recorded were remotely related to the whys and wherefores of the investment decisions the algorithm actually took (iii) the investment model generated by the ML process probably isn't tractable enough for even its own human designer to convert into words what it's actual strategy was and will be in the next period.

You don't need "any ML system" to be able to not only process the data, but also explain the strategy behind its data processing at various levels of granularity, answer abstract questions and do a convincing impression of listening and responding to client feedback, you need advanced general intelligence.

As for what the more reasonable answer a client would accept is, I don't think I really have the requisite years of investment banking experience to know that...

I'm surprised that they didn't mention monetization / profitability. Even basic Google / Bing API usage will start to add up on any moderately popular chatbot with some kind of search functionality. Without the ability to serve ads, it's pretty difficult to even break even.
Amethyst has an experimental focus follows mouse. Does KWM handle modal dialogs a little better than Amethyst in that mode?

Why do you post such non-substantiated arguments on HN? His "admission" of sexual assault was in fact alpha-male-y locker room talk, and he's married to a foreigner, so your accusation of "xenophobia" sounds a bit hollow...
Add China to the list. Getting between Beijing and Shanghai is an absolute treat compared to US travel.
This is great news, until we look at the open space and say, "Wow! Now we can fit so many more commuters on these streets."

Nature abhors a vacuum.

Not to denigrate the science, I respect the math greatly. It's just that NYC culture is about trying to cram the most things in one place. Few open resources like Central Park remain so very long.

I am sorry if I accidentally hurt your feelings or slighted your national pride. I am simply making an observation based on my general experience with Americans on the web and the sentiment I've noticed.

I was and am a heavy Skim user (http://skim-app.sourceforge.net/) -- on Macs, I've found it to be a quick and snappy alternative to Preview or Acrobat for reading and marking PDFs. 10.12 broke the UI for text annotations (the bugs mainly had to do with on-screen refresh). While 10.12.2 partially fixed these problems, it introduced others.

Here's one: open any pdf in Preview in 10.12.2, choose the Rectangular Selection tool, and try to copy a rectangle from your PDF. On my own machines running 10.12.2 as well as the couple machines I've tried in the Apple Store, inevitably this leads the whole page to go blank. AFAIK the file is not affected, it's purely a UI thing, but bugs like this make the software very annoying to use at the very least.

Yes you can. Entering Portland, OR in Google will usually filter out results for Portland, Maine (at least for the accounts I tested).
Ask HN: Anyone experienced Upwork accounts changing hands?
I've had two experiences recently with Upwork that gave me a lot of pause. In both cases it was clear that the people I was talking to had nothing at all to do with the record of work, feedback and billing that I had reviewed. In both cases there were also strong signs that the person was not located where they claimed and were not fluent speakers of the principal language of their locality. In one case I'm pretty sure they were using a Text to Speech engine once I demanded a Skype interview. Both wriggled out of video interview for different reasons.

I know that there are simple ways to avoid these traps. However, I also know that once these trends set in, the approaches become more sophisticated. So I'm concerned that Upwork may really no longer be safe to do business on.

After all, if someone who seems reasonably legitimate and has real feedback is willing to sell their Upwork credentials, then what else would they be willing to sell?
Okay, but if you are, on net, not paying in more to the system than you're getting, then someone is going to have to pay that difference. You cannot maintain all those social programs, and a UBI, without those very large tax increases to pay for those who are net UBI consumers.

I've kept it really simple - the patentsview.org API spits out JSON, which I'm feeding into the (awesome!) DataTables jQuery-plugin. The site is hosted on GitHub Pages. I'm planning a HN-style voting system so that interesting patents trickle to the top.
Post hoc ergo propter hoc. "Rich people tend to be happier, more carefree and donate more money. Therefore they are rich because of those characteristics."

Consider that people are mostly not in charge of how "successful" they become (I'm assuming this is more financial success than self actualized success), and are trying their best to react to whatever hand life dealt them.

You said it: you are generalizing based solely on your own experience.
Just read a bit more about numbered corporations in Canada. That's a pretty neat solution to ensuring uniqueness of corporate names. It's like the non-tech equivalent of a central service issuing sequential IDs.

How to Use Vysor to Develop Android Apps Faster (Plus Vysor Giveaway)
> complaints about any kind of change and positive feedback about shiny-looking features that demo well

"The internet" wanted a better cheese-grater Mac Pro, Apple delivered a shiny, un-upgradable computer.

"The internet" wanted incremental Mac upgrades, Apple added the gimmicky TouchBar to the one Mac model that was still popular.

3D touch, Mavericks' Finder tags, Siri on the Mac, using the watch to unlock your laptop... I feel that Apple's updates are 90% gimmick and 10% substance at this point. I agree that Apple needs to find a new Steve Jobs, but in the meantime, asking customers for feedback doesn't look like it could make matters worse.
