Why do people still say C/C++? They are two different languages with different purposes and strengths/weaknesses. Rust might be a worthy competitor with C++, assuming many improvements down the line, but it's not even in the same category as C, no matter how much the enthusiasts like to claim otherwise.
I have no idea why your comment was downvoted, I thought it was highly relevant and reflected on what I had written.

First of all, I'm super curious about your product, I've reached out using my email in my profile. You are right on the money in that documentation and heterogenous nature of configuring and getting ML/DL packages up and running is a large blocker. Personally for me, the training, setting up just to begin experimenting was a frustrating experience.

I think democratization is already taking place with open source alternatives like https://deepdetect.com/, I've only been able to install and play with the API and I'm trying to evaluate it further by building an app with it. But it hits that pain point in that it actually enables me to be in a position where I can now begin experimenting without having to deal with configuration and documentation noise.

$10 million pounds ($12m USD) is certainly not impossible and I think you are on your way. I'd love to have $28 million USD, I think I could live a comfortable life without having to work. The marginal utility really falls off beyond 70,000 USD / year according to stats multiplying by 40 years, it yields $2.8m USD not adjusted for inflation, so just to be safe, I multiply it by 10. I'd love it if it could be a 100x or even 1000x but the probability of that is pretty damn slim (but not impossible).

Here's to both of us for a successful 2017!
Heh, I feel that same way every time I experience something like this on here. People get way too worked up over things that don't matter at all. For some reason I keep coming back here though...
What are the bells and whistles that weren't needed?

Like, I don't have mental issues so I don't need the mental health parts. I don't have cancer so I don't need the cancer coverage.

Previous to the ACA people would buy "health insurance" with a deductible so high they realistically couldn't use it anyway. I'm talking working class people with $10k deductibles and $2000 in actual savings. And they were freely sending insurance companies $100-200/month knowing there is no way they could actually use it.
The cost of people not being to afford basic care is also borne by everyone else.

I do not understand why the US can't join most of the western world in instituting single-payer public healthcare. It would be a huge boon for small business and startups, who would no longer have to factor in medical benefits into their compensation structure and whose owners would no longer have to risk being uninsured for an extended period when they start the business.

Moreover, it's the morally right thing to do. It's shameful that the world's premier economic superpower does such a poor job of looking after its most vulnerable citizens.
Yes. When I was working on a contract, my income put me out of the subsidies range. I would have had to pay $780 for the cheapest plan per month. Essentially a mortgage. Actually $130 more than my current mortgage.
Precisely.

Insurance with pre-existing condition is just health care. You are not insuring against anything.

My guess is that if Republicans want to remove the individual mandate AND the pre-existing condition clause, they're going to have to at least allow for some grace period to allow those currently enrolled in ACA to move to another plan with the pre-existing condition clause still in place.
I'm sure they at least attempt to patch these, but it's often all too easy to screw up a patch and leave some part of the vulnerability still exposed. Look at what happened when Google tried to patch the stagefright vulnerability.
Is it a battery? Is it more ports?

That page says nothing.
If you had a few bucks lying around at the time there was Resourcerer..
Basically that.

Paper clip maximizing is a widely known and very common failure mode for bureaucracies. Remember, they never get smaller.

(How did people deal with oversized bureaucracies in history? I mean before the XVIII century when no size became too big anymore? Was there any peaceful solution?)
Saw/heard this in London - very well told story.
Deductibles are insane, period. It's a horrendous concept unless you're rich. You don't get them in most (all?) countries with universal coverage, not even in hybrid systems like Germany's with their public insurance options.
It's using the game as a driving simulator by playing it.
Stuff like this is the reason the Unix Philosophy of small "composable" tools doesn't work in this ecosystem. Because if you run your code through three different preprocessor steps, everything breaks and your source maps aren't even close to usable anymore, so you can't debug anymore.

I've been campaigning for more of a monolithic design in the TS ecosystem. Not that the architecture of the TS compiler needs to be monolithic, but rather that TS users should have a blessed and supported stack for everything. We should be able to rely on TS components for linking/packaging, polyfills, optimization, conditional compilation, minification, source map packaging, asset prepackaging and loading, ES6+ standards compliance, etc.

But since advocating for anything rhyming with -olith is heresy in the programming world, I'm not confident we'll get there.
>Don't forget. Obamacare is the Republican plan. This repeal and objection to Obamacare is all politics, not an attempt to fix a broken system.

Some context for people who don't know about this:

http://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2015/10/23/451200...
The poster is probably referring to folks with pre-existing conditions who couldn't get insurance either affordably or at all prior to the ACA and who would've faced utterly insurmountable treatment bills without insurance.
They're not remakes. There's a difference between using the same characters in brand new games, and remaking old games. Your entire comment reads as though you consider them to be literal remakes, and that's completely wrong. People aren't also just buying them for nostalgia. After all, they're new games, it's hard to be nostalgic about new stuff. People are buying them because they're really really fun. And you'll note that kids, who definitely don't have nostalgia for the old games, also consider them to be really really fun, so it's really not just because people liked the previous games.
These individual stories are nice. But when are you Americans going to fight to save your healthcare?
> Specifically, money from the Federal Government.

Excuse me? What money? The government does not generate net positive economic benefit, and therefore has no [real] money. You might be confused and talking about "taxpayer money" — but then why bother with the gov't at all, why not just say your plan amounts to "we should increase healthcare costs so we're, you know, throwing more money at the problem".
It speaks volumes that a manufacturer has to step in and deliver the product the consumers want and Apple is incapable of delivering.
> Because VR games are so physical, gaming will no longer be perceived as an unhealthy activity. I could have used this growing up.

In my experience, the best VR experiences are sit down. Sony's approach fully embraces this. Room scale is great, but I've had much more enjoyable experiences with the likes of Euro Truck and Elite than Showdown.

VR demos amazingly well, you're excited to try it out and it is genuinely breath taking the first time you look around your cockpit in outer space. But the isolation and cumbersome nature of it kills everyday use.
As someone who worked at Apple I can say you are talking rubbish.

Firstly, Apple doesn't pay all that great. Other startups and companies pay much better. And as a software developer the culture is actually pretty good but obviously depends a lot on what team you are in. It's an interesting mix of enterprise and startup with an amazing history. Teams are smaller and more cohesive. The frustrating part is the lack of collaboration between teams but that is hardly specific to Apple.

Secondly, Apple absolutely builds communities where required and contributes to standards. Where on earth did you get the idea they weren't doing this ?
Hey CO! Thanks for the details.

Yeah... my income === 0. Hopefully, not for too much longer.
I've heard a republican idea that would instead allow insurance companies to charge a large fee for lapses in coverage, which would be nearly equivalent to requiring coverage except people would be hit with a big fee when signing up.
The Senate can't remove the pre-existing conditions protections or letting young adults stay on their parents plans through budget reconciliation.

They can remove funding for subsidies through budget reconciliation, and let the system collapse on its own, but they don't have the votes to overcome the filibusterer they'd get if they tried to remove those protections directly.

1 of 2 things will likely happen.

1. They will repeal and delay. Meaning they will remove funding through reconciliation, but delay implementation until 2020. Then depending on what happens in 2018 who knows what might happen. This is the bad option because it could cause the collapses of the individual market even before it takes effect.

2. They will repeal and replace. Most likely they will replace it with the new Health and Human Services Secretary's plan to keep the preexisting conditions protection plan, as long as you maintain coverage. If you don't maintain coverage you'll go into a high risk pool with higher rates until you maintain coverage for 18 months.

Plan 2 is very similar to what we currently have, but it replaces the punishment for not maintain coverage with higher premiums instead of a tax penalty.

What they should do is to increase the tax penalty to force more people into the pool and simultaneously add a public option, but that's not going to happen.
Me and a friend of mine are discussing what the actual vulnerability is. What I got from the report was that you can impersonate anyone when talking to A if you have A's key.

He says that is impossible and you need B's key to impersonate B when talking to A.

Could anyone that knows more about this than I do step in to clarify? Thanks!
Yes, but the "real" telepathy is when you can picture, in your head, the exact tree I'm picturing in my head, without me doing anything to help you.

Sounds pretty sci-fi, until you read about recent brain to brain communication experiments.
The device aggravates this issue only because the author is unconscious enough that they aren't even aware they are making a decision to use or not use the phone. While it may be a necessary step to take a break from something that captures your attention, it's important to be able to be aware of your behavior and your desires independent of the context. A person should be mindful when they choose to spend time on the phone of what they are deciding to consume. The phone is not a magical device, it just has a lower effort barrier and so unconscious behavior is easier. It doesn't mean one can't be aware of what they're doing while using it. It also doesn't mean that one can't use the device while developing awareness.
Given that the description you quote isn't what KCI is at all, I'm not exactly sure what to think of your suggestion? This is all right in the GH issue.

KCI doesn't allow you to impersonate A, if you steal A's long term static keys. I mean, if you do that, you can, that much is obvious. But that's not what KCI is. It allows you to impersonate anyone else to A, if you steal A's keys and they cannot tell you are a lying impersonator. It works the other way around.
Ya, these prices that you see politicians touting are from the cheapest providers and hmo only. In the Los Angeles area, the closest gp was an hour away with a 30 day lead time to get an appointment if you go with the budget plan.

For those that don't know, in an hmo, you have to go see your gp for a referral for everything. In grown tonail, go to gp when you know he will refer you to a podiatrist. With a ppo, you can go directly to the specialist. But ppo under aca are the "premium" plans.
> increased capacity and expanded connectivity

I assume this means storage and ports.
Again with the FUD? I've witnessed the last couple big 0-day discovered by the Tor people were patched in Pale Moon before Mozilla pushed out theirs for Firefox.

edit: I'd reply to your response below normally but apparently I don't get to reply to any comments on HN anymore. The reply button has disappeared. When I log out of my 5 year old/458 karma account it's back. I guess my opinion isn't wanted here.

You have a good point there. I bet a least a couple of those are present. But you've also completely missed my point. When looking through the FF known vuln list the vast majority are for things like WebRTC, WebGl, and other attack surfaces that Pale Moon intentionally avoids.
Those who abuse H1-B program, will easily circumvent this.

As one owner of the consulting firm explained to me, they'll just use some kind of system, that says "You get paid $100K as a salary but you give back to the company $30K for some kind of service that it provides to you", so in the end they'll end up paying whatever they want.

To stop abuse of H1-B system, they need to limit % of H1-B employees in one firm.

But in general with increasing quality of collaborative tools, that make remote work easier, this problem will keep getting worse. Since companies do not need to hire you when you are abroad, they just need to have contract with your company abroad that will provide them "services" (which is a code word for 100 employees working full time for you in offshore office).
Most of the companies already do this and this issue will keep getting worse with increasing quality of collaborative tools and I am not sure what the solution is.
Read through the article here. There's a collection of quotes from YCombinator startup founders about how the ACA helped them. Several founders were uninsurable without the ACA.

20% is not the profit. It's the maximum they are allowed not to pay to healthcare providers. Most of it will probably be spent of the cost of running their business: salaries, office space, advertising, office supplies, etc.
From the images, it seems more ports. But the nebulous "increased capacity" can mean storage and/or battery, so who knows?

Edit: Looks like it is plugged into the port just next to the 3.5mm jack. So, capacity could mean BOTH storage and battery because, unless I'm mistaken, the new macbook pros can charge from any of the USB-C ports.
Yeah, but that's not how the exploit would work. If you read the article, the "backdoor" is that WhatsApp could "generate" a new private key without your knowledge. Except that instead of generating a key, they'd use a well-known key. From there, they could give that key to state actors, or they could decrypt the traffic themselves and give it to state actors.

Either way, you need server side control of WhatsApp.
Among other things, you are relying on no insurance companies ever closing in the future. What happens if they go bankrupt? The government has to bail them out?
Interesting how all the climate change deniers come out of the woodwork whenever stories like these are posted, even though HN leans fairly heavily liberal and extremely heavily scientific the rest of the time.

Is the HN population actually like that, or are these people trying to push an agenda and otherwise not participating in the site? Either way, I sure wish we could discuss these things instead of getting bogged down in "it's all nonsense" every time.
From the pictures it looks like an extra battery, 3 USB ports, Ethernet, and an SD card slot. It's possible there's space for a hard drive, too.
I'm sorry but you can't criticize the ACA for being unconstitutional, while also arguing that the law should allow you to opt out of supporting policies that are against your faith. The First Amendment states:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

Also known as the Separation of Church and State.

You are free to exercise your religious beliefs by not using birth control. But you cannot demand that Congress write the laws to fit your belief system.

edit: By the way, I downvoted you not because I disagree with you, but because of your hypocrisy.
If you're running over someone's conscience on a matter involving human life and death, why do you care that their conscience is based on religion?

Personally, if someone is morally opposed to what they perceive as killing, I don't care if their morals are based on religion, atheism, or just squeamishness. Preserve their moral objection to killing. It's too valuable to society for us to trample on it.
You have strong feelings about this topic, and I respect that. However, I've watched NIMBY arguments for a couple decades now and they are all basically the same: fear of decreasing home prices due to visible nearby infrastructure improvements justified by hard to prove allegations of harm to the community.

It's basically greed mixed with selfishness - deny the community improvement for the sake of my portfolio. So, if it's money they care about, then throw money at them. There's a break-even point, of course, where the bribe exceeds the benefit of the improvement.

You'll notice that I never suggested that improving the buildings was mutually exclusive with paying them off. Do both! Make the buildings quieter or less allergenic: try to address the complaint de jour. However, realize that you're treating a symptom, not a cause.
They can definitely be stupid, and they can sometimes be borderline evil - making jail time for crack 80x greater than for cocaine because of the offender demographics, that's pretty evil (and stupid).

1) They are voting to repeal ACA in real time.

2) They have not offered even a hint of an alternative.

This is not only going to be potentially damaging those who will lose their coverage - but it's also incredibly difficult for business: there is no roadmap. Insurers, and all other businesses small and large now are left in the dark with respect to their future. Introducing such ambiguity is definitely stupid, and it's 'anti businesses'.

They have at least two years of unlimited power, they should debate solutions, narrow it down to an actionable plan, and then modify ACA in a well thought out process.

As it stands, they're just rolling back laws and haven't discussed anything else, which I think is irresponsible. They don't need to be in such a panic.
I love this idea that we can "save the best parts". What part would that be, exactly? The part where insurance companies can't deny you coverage? And the part to get rid of would be the part where you are required to carry insurance? Are people really so dense that they can't see how one absolutely requires the other?
There is systemctl reexec, so can't you upgrade systemd without a reboot using that?
I twitch a little every time I read something like this:

> Precision CNC milled from aircraft grade aluminum to 1/1000ths of an inch tolerance

What you need aicraft-grade aluminum for? And a 1-mil tolerance? Are you building a really tiny aircraft?

"Premium design" stops when the design choices are the best you could ever need. Beyond that, it's no longer a matter of engineering, it's about far less respectable traits.
What I'm curious is if it's mounted to the bottom of the Macbook Pro and how.

I think it'd be nice if they did one for the 15" too. The articles I've seen about this product made it look like there was only a 13" model.
You can't just compare margins from different businesses, as what's necessary entirely depends on the business.

Some business (like insurance) have a fair bit of tail risk they need to take into account.

Some are seasonal (like a ski resort) and need to make sure the profits they make in their high season can carry them in the low season.

Some are cyclical (like furniture stores) where people buy one piece and don't buy anything else for years.

Grocery stores have consistent customers and can generally predict their income and expenses day-to-day for the foreseeable future.
This is true. It does seem, however, like that is the short-term trend of the last decade or three. Things don't have to be as bad as the mid 20th century to be worrying.
rebase from FF 38 which has WebRTC

This is a bit like saying "Firefox 4 has HTML5". The WebRTC stack in Firefox evolved significantly from Firefox 38 to 50, as did the WebRTC standards themselves. That's why I pointed to interoperability issues.
Interestingly, that is the opposite of what I've seen in the scientific literature.

Trait self-control seems to better relate to removing temptations from our lives via planning rather than having a high threshold for resistance. People who identify as "having good self-control" tend to have fewer strong desires and weaker resistance. Tellingly, trait self-control also doesn't seem to change the relationship between resistance and enactment. So people with self-control are just as likely to succumb to temptation when it is present, but less likely to be confronted by temptation in the first place.

Check out Hofmann et al. Everyday Temptations for an example (2011).
I just now realized this story I'd been ignoring isn't about the game "Portal" for the Apple II. Activision published a game with that title in '86 about exploring the future internet after the death of all mankind.
$5 gets you a gadget that will stream music from a headphone jack into a tape player in a car. I had one for my last car; it worked great. Or are these folks so poor they don't even have a smart phone? "Free with plan" Android phones can easily play tons of music. Yes they fill up, but many do have an SD card option.

Or you can spend $15 on an MP3 player (or pick one up at a thrift store for less). Considering tapes cost more than digital tracks, you'd save enough by buying digital to pay for the MP3 player and the cassette adapter by just forgoing a couple of tapes.

As to "cost effective": Blank tapes cost way more than blank CD-Rs. A quick search finds 30 name-brand discs for six bucks [0], and I've seen them less than $0.01 each in bulk. [0b] Tapes cost nearly a dollar each.

Almost everyone, in college or otherwise, needs to have a computer, or has access to one (libraries!), and most inexpensive computers have CD-Rs. If you don't have a CD burner in your computer, one costs less than a decent cassette recorder. $11.99 on Amazon will get you one, in fact. [1]

And it will be faster to make copies onto CDs, and the copies will be strictly better, than using tape.

Tapes are simply a retro "style" thing. They're not cheaper, and they suck. Trying to justify them in any way just doesn't work.

But the concept of in-network and out-of-network coverage isn't a new to the ACA, or that different. There are plans with national network coverages - so why are you going out of network?
He had two years of full Democratic control of Congress. He didn't even try to get single payer, didn't even try to get the "public option".

Obama's disastrous politics are a result of going into every debate starting at the "compromise" position, and then getting dragged further right. Just go back to his 2004 DNC speech, it lays out exactly how he's going to fail.
I immediately went to Craigslist to search for an Apple IIe.
