You realize that when App.net launched, it was on the front page of HN and with much discussion (relatively speaking)? Given your account's age, you were here. In 2010, Bitcoin made the HN front page and you could get 5 BTC for signing up for an email list; 3 years later 1 BTC was worth over $1k.

Yeah, but only about 5% of users are going to benefit from such a feature.
Race is a social construct, there's no biological explanation for race. The set of characteristics that are identified with different races are social constructs, those clusters of features does not correlate to a significant difference in biological terms. Genetic methods do not support or explain the classification of humans into discrete races. Races are not genetically homogenous and lack clear-cut genetic boundaries.

Two people from different races can be way more similar genetically than two people from the same race. The concept of race was built over a long story of separating humanity in different ethnic groups, and then physical characteristics of some of those ethnic groups started slowing being adopted as a mean to show that those people are intrinsically different, but they are just an unimportant set of characteristics that does not convey important information from a genetic perspective, they gained social meaning through culture. The modern concept of race took form in the enlightenment, https://twitter.com/Limerick1914/status/757227361582608384, when the original western notion of which ethnic groups exists in the world was built into a racist anthropology.

That doesn't mean that "all lives matter" or we shouldn't talk about race. Race is a social construct, and as a social construct, it exists. Money is also a social construct. But, the concept of race makes no sense besides the social structure that was built on. That why different countries consider that the set of existing races is different, for instance, the only country that really considers "latino" a race is the US.

Going back to your question, the extinct humans actually had important biological differences, the different races have not.
What was the cost 2 years ago? I believed it was $350 for two. So $109 is still cheaper than the price before.
Did it? I remember registering lots of accounts just when it launched because I had a column in tweetdeck with a search that was something like "app.net/invite-code/" (all invite codes URLs started with the same pattern) so every time someone posted an invite URL I got a notification and I could register a new account ;^}

I think we would all be better served if the blockchain could be replicated and tweaked to become a new public publishing platform that is the equivalent of Twitter today. Access to the blockchain would then become a function of clients who follow the established spec/protocol, analogous to browsers and the web today. There are a couple of startups that are already pursuing the idea, but I think that this could only become realistic if Twitter were to die.
Does systemd have a network protocol like syslog, i.e. is there a native way to send logs for a particular unit/service to a remote machine?

Everything I find just says to install syslog, which surprises me.
My main complain about systemd is that it does not log the stderr stream !!

No, it's not. They probably just aren't involved in the live music scenes where tape is a trend.

I feel the exact same way.. Its basicly a Nintendo 2DS XXXL, with awful battery, a stand HDMI, and next to no games.

And its pretty much priced as a PS4 PRO, with 1 tb storage.

The games are on cartridges.. what year is this?
No, it's just logic. Inclusion of populations in species depends on breeding ability. And there's no way to test that for fossil individuals vs each other or vs modern humans. So they can't be classified as the same species, or part of a species ring.
This exists already and is called a liquid to water heat pump, where a liquid is circulated in long pipes either buried under your lawn (if it's big enough) or inserted in holes drilled several hundred feet deep, and then passed through a heat pump to provide hot water that's then distributed through your house.

You just need to go ~20 ft down for the thermal mass of the soil to significantly damp out even annual oscillations, so there the soil temperature equals the mean temperature where you live.

The main barrier to adaptation is that most people don't have a big enough lawn for the shallow method, and the cost of the deep method is big enough that it takes too long to break-even for most people.

What we really need for any such method to succeed is that governments must make it mandatory for new houses, then we can get economies of scale and probably make it viable also for retrofits.
Yes, to dismiss theology along with alchemy -- in the same sentence -- as altogether useless is childish oversimplification. Rejecting Biblical faiths is one thing, but to ignore the impact the Christian worldview has had on Western science, including the life of Isaac Newton (who would never have invested time in studying the physical world if he didn't believe it had a Creator, and therefore order), either shows a gross lack of historical knowledge or poor taste. It's a pity because I agree with him otherwise about the risk taking, which was the main point of his article.

What did you think of the article?

About the headline - it does summarise what the article is about. I doubt anyone clicked through expecting tank battles between Trump and the CIA.

'deep state' seems to be a variant on 'state within a state' or maybe 'military-industrial complex' the latter a meme 'forced' on us by Eisenhower.

If a forum can't handle a discussion of UNIX software, then it should probably stick to kitten gifs. The art of moderation and community management is to allow discussion while containing hostility.

Personally I feel that the sheer controversialness of systemd and its chief maintainer is a bug in and of itself, which the maintainers should address.
Yeah it's pretty ridiculous. Also, Twitter still has an anti-developer stance. For the shutting down of App.net despite Twitter's unchanged politics to make sense, I think it's because the Twitter model as a whole is dying (which obviously includes App.net and similar microblogging services). I hear Instagram and Snapchat is all the rage now. Ain't nobody got time to actually read text these days in the days of strongly social networkified attention spans.
> Sid Meier (Civilization) gave a great GDC keynote in 2010 where he describes his multi-decade struggle to convey to users ideas like "Stuff that only has a 10% chance of happening still happens sometimes."

Slightly OT, but I found the argument most convincing that the "improbable=impossible" way of thinking sometimes produces logically inconsistent or plain impossible results.

The classic wheel of fortune is an example: You're playing wheel of fortune with three other persons. The wheel is evenly split into four quarters, with each of the quarters having the name of one person written on it. (So one of the four quarters is "your" quarter) The wheel is spun and the person whose quarter ends up on top gets the reward.

How gif is your chance to win? 1 / 4. How big is your chance not to win? 3 / 4. So it's unlikely that you will be the winner. However, the wheel is fair, the probability of winning is the same for each player. So it's unlikely for anyone to be the winner. At the same time, it's physically impossible for the wheel not to produce a winner.

If you think of unlikely events as "practically never occuring", this is a logical contradiction. Only if you accept that unlikely events do happen, the contradiction can be resolved.

For me, systemd randomly fails to execute a reboot, then, because of this, fails to do halt, and I have to force power off the machine.

And this is just one.
Maybe Opera collects data on users, I don't know. Probably. Maybe I'm naive but I trust them more than Google.

I'd forgotten all about brave since the launch, must try it out.

Both brave and opera have built in ad blockers. I admire the effort but in practice the opera one is not as good as ublock. Ublock blocks ads but also blocks trash like taboola, which is not technically advertising, but is far more insidious.

And ublock is available for opera, not sure about brave. Must try it today

The problem is the new MBP is a new product masquerading as an upgrade. Had they called it the Macbook Touch and just bumped the specs on the current Pro, everyone would be happy, and they could see for themselves whether anyone cares or whether it's a useless gimmick. That's how they handled the Air.

Do something with your free time. Shut down Netflix, HBO, Reddit, Hacker News and all such distractions. It doesn't have to be profitable or even remotedly useful, just as long it's something that you know that you should be doing.

Examples: create things (write, program, compose); exercise; meditate; start learning something.

Sleep 8 hours every day. Or whatever is your optimum. But no more and no less.

Well, from this year you also need a VPN, because all your traffic is logged. I'm looking forward to Comrade "Shared Society" May to force a proper Great Firewall any day now.
I can see how you would takeaway that perspective, but App.net never guaranteed what you laid out. It was proprietary just like Twitter. If App.net ever got mainstream traction, we have no idea if they would have held to those principles, and history tells they would not have. The free, open, federated network's time has still not come. Most people are still coming to grips with the existence of these social networks; they have not yet jumped to the conclusion that makes App.net make sense. I believe it will happen.

If you are in the UK you may qualify for legal advice where you get a lawyer and your employer has to pay for it.

A couple of years back I resigned from a job in the UK and although I was on good terms with the people I worked with the HR department (inevitably) did their best to try and screw me and having a good lawyer on my side made the process fairly painless as they actually did the negotiation with my former employer and I got 3 months salary and various other benefits.

SOAKIN – TLO FLEX – [ Something You've Never Heard]
According to their twitter feed[1], Nicalis is at least publishing two titles for the Switch, including the Binding of Isaac (they did release a previous version on the 3DS though).

Yacht Club Games [2] is also porting their retro-platformer Shovel Knight along with all its extension to the Switch. They also have a previous experience with Nintendo with a release of their game on 3DS and Wii U.

So at least 2 indie developpers I like are working on the Switch.

I'm not so sure if it really has that much to do with heritage. A lot of us like the design principles you can see in Unix and that are pretty much absent in systems like Windows NT. They very much reflect the conclusions I came to after over fifteen years of building and debugging systems.

But, yes, I have the impression that a lot of Linux users would just as gladly use a modern BeOS or a ReactOS, regardless of the underlying design.

And a lot of systemd criticism comes from people who are just averse to any kind of change and maybe long for the bygone days of HP-UX and Irix.

Ask HN: Machine Learning Training as a Service?
Does such a service exist? I am thinking along the lines of:

- write a model like you normally would (in tensorflow, for eg) with some loose predefined format (eg: model must be returned by model.py#model and must be an instance of something)
- git push
- trains the model on a cloud service for a small fee
- Provides useful graphs on training epoch / loss / error / accuracy
- (Optional) Host machine learning APIs

I used Microsoft Azure at some point, but found it quite complex to setup and works well only for well-known models only. I.e: If i want to build a custom neural net, things gets messy and confusing.

It'd be useful to have such a service (or something that achieves a similar purpose). I have only a laptop that I carry around all the time, so it'd be infeasible for me to train a model on it.

EDIT: Update title
It's a real test result. It's just that the test setup is not indicative of real life.

Brightness is set to 100 nits. That's very, very low, at about 20% of the maximum brightness of the new MBP. I use mine at at least 75% when I'm on the road.

The workload is simple. Consumer Reports says they have turned off caching in Safari (from the Develop menu), in an effort to simulate "real-life" browsing, but that's just not a very good way to simulate a real-life browsing workload.

Fetching pages from a server is mostly waiting for the network, using very little CPU. If anything, turning off caching might give you better battery life in a test like this. Also, who knows how much the browser is caching data internally. It may fetch pages from the web (using no CPU, mostly waiting), but may still internally reuse cached, optimized versions from the previous page views.

Also, I'm sure they don't have any background processes running, such as Time Machine (or other backups like Backblaze or Crashplan), Dropbox, Google Drive, playing music, Bluetooth headphones, etc. I'd be willing to bet that the Touch Bar is turned off during this test, too, which it wouldn't be in real life if there is real keyboard input.

Finally, to be honest… just yesterday, I spent over 9 hours total developing a Django web app on the new MBPtb without recharging. I had plenty of opportunities to plug in, but chose not to, to see how far I can go without power. Also, I had brightness set so about 30-40%; less than what I would like normally. Anyway, I'm very happy with the battery life.
> It's only losing money because of stock grants.

That's like saying "We're only losing money because we have to pay our staff"
I don't use Chrome or even keep apps like Slack open anymore.

If I'm just browsing and chatting, battery life is excellent.

But if I want to use Pro apps (XCode) on my Pro laptop, battery life takes a nosedive. I understand that, but in the 2016 revision they reduced the battery capacity, and it sounds like they based that decision on "well, Safari and Mail are super-efficient, when you're doing "Wireless Web" you can now get the same battery life as with the old one, why would anyone need more capacity?"

Why do they like to call it "censorship" when they just mean "piracy websites"? It's not like they're keeping you from publishing your thoughts about the government and the establishment, you just want to download series for free.

I don't mean to say you shouldn't be able to download your favourite series for free, but please don't use words such as "censorship" that make it look like the gov is threatening to send you to a gulag if you say the prime minister likes golden showers.

How CLIQZ protects users from web tracking
It didn't need to. App.net was a "success" at first because the bigshots from the tech twitter-sphere all jumped over.

Problem was none of them actually stopped posting on Twitter, at best they just set app.net to mirror their Twitter never really engaging with the network because none of them were willing to give up their high follower counts they had from being early adopters of Twitter.

Too much ego to put up with the BS from twitter, yet also too much ego to give up their high follower counts.

As long as you are feeling productive, challenged and appropriately remunerated.

All going well 2-3 years in a job looks best on your CV. You really have to ask yourself why you are jumping ship if you have been in a job for less than a year. Maybe you didn't check out the potential employer sufficiently. Of course, some hirers lie to you because they are desperate, but there are tells for that.

I know it sounds harsh, but if you interview with a company and you have concerns which are not suitably addressed, then it is better to not take the job. Your gut feel is usually correct, even when you are logically arguing that you need the job, etc.

> They weren't buying it for portability, like Japanese customers usually did; they were buying it because it was the cheapest way to play videogames, only a third the price of a console and with games that were half the price of console games (in many countries even less).

I don't think that's right, price is not the only concern here. It's just a different feeling, from having to start a session on the TV or being able to play around the house, in bed, etc. -- tablets did that well also, and most people are more likely to open their 3DS than start up the TV and console. That's what they attempted to match here, and, to me, it seems successful. (Note that Wii U was directed towards that goal as well, but failed).
