Yeah, the media really did her a favour by talking about emails all the time. Totally in the tank for her.
The pentagon papers were released in 2011. A wikipedia search would have found the complete set at the national archives: https://www.archives.gov/research/pentagon-papers.

I believe they wanted to keep this secret not because it hurt us to leak some secret, it was to hide the fact that every president from Truman on had lied about their actions to get us more involved in vietnam. It's still pretty shocking today. Read the wikipedia page for more info.

I don't think it will happen, but I'd be happy if Obama were somehow able to legally forgive Snowden for his whistle blowing also.
Yes, it was pretty good too. I got +150 downloads (or subscribers, I can't remember) the after 2 or 3 weeks AFAIK. This number is huge if you consider that it was in Greek.

The problem that I needed ~ 6-10 hours per week in order to create a 45min content that didn't suck using GarageBand and another podcast tool (can't recall names now). The best had 3 sections: Weekly news (just referencing quick), Commentary on some of these news, Interviews.

What I found interesting is how easy is to get someone to talk about something he is working on. I recall finding Greek guys working in major corps (Nokia, Google, etc.) and get them to talk and I had many great ideas on how to improve it, create a community around it, etc.

So although, the idea was good I wanted to spend 2-3 hours per week, but that's not possible if you want to create quality content. At least wasn't for me.

ps. It is something that I'd like to re-do at some point, but still I don't want to spend so many hours on this. Probably if I could find someone to help with editing / publishing and split the tasks would be a lot easier. Ideally, should be a team of 3.
At least you're not in Singapore. Here, 1 million USD won't even get you a small condo. A house will cost you around 2 million USD,and that would be a cheap one. In a prime location the price goes up to several times that amount.
From the article:

> Machine learning and data mining are not well distinguished, but machine learning techniques increasingly favor “unsupervised” learning algorithms.

The statement above puzzles me because it does not align with what I can see in the news. Maybe I'm just uninformed, so please let me know if I'm wrong.

According to what I can read in the news:

1 - Almost all of the recent ML developments that I can think of are in the field of supervised learning / reinforcement learning

2 - the only field that I can think of where unsupervised learning techniques are prevalent is data mining, which is precisely why I see it as a very specific field.

Am I missing something?
No way, the media knew the Clintons? I mean she just came out of nowhere!
They're two sides of one coin, right? Here's what we want vs. here's what we can build. Opposing forces that should always be in contact.

Either that or it's late and I'm getting philosophical.
Journalism, in spite of protestations to the contrary, has too often been a shallow gloss on half-understood ideas and a rushed frenzy to be first to print - to parachute in a correspondent to an unknown city/culture/subculture and expect them to understand it and not impose their prejudices on it while writing a story under time pressure is really expecting too much, and the results are often anything but insightful. The time pressure also regularly results in breathless stories without context and incomplete timelines with no closure and no revisiting the topic after the storm has passed. We can do better.

Context and commitment and a large amount of original data is important in understanding information and people on the ground provide that (even if sometimes their view is limited, sometimes amongst them you'd find the best person to write the story of x). There are of course big problems with this flood of information, but it is now there (instantly, from anywhere on the globe), and it wasn't before. That changes everything.

I do think there is value in having all that information, of course you still require a separate level of aggregation, analysis and perhaps narrative (Who will provide that? I think there is the opportunity), but the OP was talking about getting the data, that's now easy, the hard part is making sense of the firehose of data, which traditional journalism is ill-equipped to do given its emphasis on owning the story and speed to press.

There is value in constructing a narrative based on the facts but the old business models of a news factory which 'makes news' and gets it to the public first in order to sell advertising are irrevocably gone now, they just haven't realised they are obsolete yet, and are scrabbling around for ways to adapt their old news-gathering infrastructure to this new world.

It happens fairly often to me, and I've noticed a couple of odd things about it. For one, it almost always causes me to sneeze twice in succession, rarely once but never more than twice. I've also noticed that I have the opposite habit - if I feel like I'm about to sneeze, I often glance over at the nearest light source without even thinking.

I also have an incredibly specific form of synaesthesia (or something similar at least). I've never noticed it with anything else, but pinot grigio wines always 'taste' blue to me. It's difficult to describe, but it's just an instant sense of "this is what that shade of blue tastes like" and mentally seeing a flash of that colour.

Similar shade to this, but a tad darker:

One of the lessons of the web (in the 1990s everyone was a webmaster until the field mature.) is that after the coders, specialists emerged in fields like design, management, UX, seo and content.
For data science the most obvious is data visualization but I guess there's plenty of new jobs ahead in addition to core data science jobs.

Thank you for your comments. You have it exactly right, re-affirming my hope that the world is not doomed. Another example in line with what you said, having secret prisons that we kidnapped people and took them to and tortured them during the second bush war in Iraq hurt the US. It hurt because because we had secret prisons.
Show HN: This valentine’s day, give a prime number
As a former startup founder, I totally empathize - it's always clearer with hindsight but it's important to honestly reflect so you can apply the lessons learned to the next turn of the ferris wheel.

> We set out to build a good database system, but users wanted a good way to do X.

If you replace "database system" with "[any product]," it encapsulates the reason why many startups fail. I was guilty of it too. I think it's a common pitfall for technical founders who tend to think in terms of solutions rather than problems.

If you have some free time, I would recommend the book What Customers Want by Anthony Ulwick, which offers a systematic approach to formulating a product that satisfies a market's underserved needs.
There's no rational financial calculus going on.

This doesn't end well, by the way. Neighborhoods turn into ghost towns because "renters damage property". Great businesses close. Vancouver had something like 30 empty multimillion dollar houses burn down last year.
Coffeemug: there's one other thing you missed in the postmortem. The early marketing (1st year) for RethinkDB was all about optimizing for SSD storage. Since this was largely nonsense, database consultants like me (who were in a position to push technically correct solutions) read about it, and dismissed RethinkDB from our thoughts forever. I keep up pretty well with the OSS DB field, and didn't realize what you were really trying to build until five years later. With the number of NoSQL and NewSQL DBs entering the market in 2007-2010, I simply didn't have time to re-evaluate any of them.

So that's an other "take-home" from the post-mortem: be careful about your "first impression" on the market, because it can be really hard to change.
Is it possible to do HFT with bitcoin, given it has a 7 transactions-per-second maximum rate?
Is it possible to use the application without connecting to a Standard File server? The page mentions the ability to use Dropbox "for added redundancy and peace of mind". But is it possible to use Dropbox as the only storage point? I would prefer to use Dropbox over their server or hosting my own.

It seems to me the applications act as clients that allow you to interact with your data. If so, why should it matter where the data is being fetched/stored? Why is it necessary to interact with a Standard File server?

It would pain you just to pay the taxes on a nearly-million-dollar house. Even with the property tax cap in SF you're going to pay over $900 plus special assessments every month on a $961k house.

Probably more in Des Moines, but at least you're living the lifestyle you'd normally associate with a house that expensive.
Computer Science Courses That Don't Exist, but Should
They mostly were my superiors. My fellows were more often employed as scientific slaves, understanding nothing they were doing while collecting huge amounts of unusable data.

When I finished my studies, I was extremely motivated, and wanted to do research (clinical and translational). My first few projects were quite horrible: very little supervision, huge amount of time and paperwork, very little result (2 peer-reviewed papers). I thought I was the problem, although my fellow junior M.Ds did not seem to fare much better. So I began studying science (a lot): informatics, statistics, physics. I did not become good at it, but I learned a huge amount.

After a few years of that, I found myself unable to collaborate on new projects, and that is actually a sad result. You see, M.Ds, having no science background, view statistics and physiology as they view medicine: a bunch of facts that you must learn off by heart. I cannot begin to describe the statistical heresy I witnessed in clinical trials.
You should also know that professional statisticians are rarely implicated in medical research, because they are expensive. Add to that a good amount of dishonesty motivated by the refusal to admit that nothing positive comes out of the dataset, due to the hard work done to collect the data in the first place, and a huge amount of pressure to publish, and you have a recipe for disaster.

TL;DR: MDs with no specific scientific background will not magically be able to do valid science without additional education, even if they are full professors.

High-speed trading on a "market" that allows ~10 transactions/second max?
Obviously that depends on what you invest in and how much risk you are willing to carry. In the long term the stock market index funds have returned about 6-7% annually adjusted for inflation. Take almost any 10-year window in the past 30 years and SV home prices have either matched or beaten that substantially.
Thanks for describing this and I really hope this improves for you over time. I had years of feeling like this too . I can't say I've really found my place but at 50, memories of that depression are from another life. I can't really rightly remember what it felt like, but it was terrible.
Actually, the paper this article is based on suggests the opposite:

"Only a minority of 5.6% [of those who later experienced a lethal CVD event] were free of any risk factor. This challenges claims that CVD events commonly occur in persons who have not been exposed to a major risk factor." (where the risk factors include high cholesterol, obesity, hypertension, smoking and diabetes)

Then, honestly, why are you looking to buy? Why do you have a budget of 1.2MM if you don't want to be shackled to your house? If you legitimately don't know what you're going to be doing in 3 years, buying an expensive house is a terrible idea.

They aren't trading possession on the blockchain in most cases. Generally, the BTC is in an exchange's wallet and the exchange maintains the accounts of the traders until the traders withdraw their assets.

edit: Some cross exchange trades (i.e. buy BTC on one exchange and sell on another) would still require a move across the chain, but it all really depends on what the exact mechanics of the trade are.

There are multiple ways you can do this already:

- Typora. Markdown format. Equations rendered on return key.

- RStudio. Markdown format. However equations don't get rendered immediately. Requires a knit HTML or PDF action. Still, it's my preferred tool.

- Jupyter notebook. ipynb format - can be exported to HTML or PDF. Equations get rendered somewhat immediately (after a shift return keypress).

- Libreoffice Writer. ODT format, can be exported to HTML or PDF. Uses its own equation editor (which is quite good if you like GUIs). Rendered immediately while equation is being typed. Used this for my first ML class - no trouble at all.
Also I haven't heard anyone talk about how the UN and outside observers stated that Manning was tortured during her (not sure of the right pronoun, for pre-operative) prison time before the trial. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/mar/12/bradley-mannin.... That should never happen, even if you are guilty. This happened with Obama was president. I know he has a mixed record, but I have never understood his aspect of not being able to change the military-spy-industrial complex more. I don't believe he's afraid of them. I just think he has so much stuff to do, to face up to, one person can't change it all.

Well, we can work toward changing it, if we elect people who want to change.
You'd be surprised at how close to those salaries you can get in the exact same companies, just not in their main campuses.

I work for one of those, from home, with the same salary as bay area coworkers, but a 200K 4 bedroom house.

There was a recent article here in HN about how Silicon Valley was hiring physicists. Oscar, the main name in that story, is a coworker of mine and he isn't working from the Bay area: he is working from Hawaii.

Living in San Francisco is a legitimate choice, but the whole idea that you have to go live there to get the good salaries and work at the good companies is less and less true every year.
New employer (unicorn) offering huge raise. Current employer (startup) countered
I'm stuck in a bit of a pickle. I've been with this startup since near day one. Lately, I've been a bit discouraged by our heads down focus on growth and lack of attention devoted to innovation. We've lost much of our top engineering and design talent, and are nearing a skeleton crew. Leadership has been a revolving door since the inception of the company and has more experience in marketing, not heading technologies companies. With that said, I do very much enjoy my coworkers.

To break things down in numbers– new employer is offering me a 60% raise in terms of cash & 80% including equity (I am nearly vested at current employer). Current employer just barely surpassed the offer at new employer, but will offer other concessions (allow me to move and work remote 3 days/week, hiring of staff engineers, etc).

I am looking forward to a fresh start in terms of company (no baggage) and location. I will be learning a new tech stack (some of it awesome, some of it very legacy) as well as have exposure to a much bigger pool of engineers and diversity of skills, experiences & opinions.

Any advice? My intuition is telling me too little, too late & to move on.

Nevertheless it's a widely circulated claim in certain groups.

The idea that "SpaceX beats everybody on price" unfortunately got little actual checks. Of course there is the claim, and some support for that, like rocket structure, engines - but not the actual comparisons. SpaceX does wonderful advancements - but just how wonderful and how do they compare with existing offerings on the whole range of parameters, including price, is rarely compared to what SpaceX actually proclaims.

Don't overestimate the cost of older technologies.
Given the relatively slim page size (23Kb for me), and given that SQLite can pretty easily host a relatively simple database like this one and serve 100K-1M queries per day[0], I would expect that whoever is hosting this could pretty easily host this on a single dedicated server which only costs ~$50. So for the foreseeable future, I suspect this site will be fine.

A better (i.e. less risky) approach is to have smaller administrative units (like states) deciding what to feed kids (assuming we can't find some way to not have the government, with its inherent ulterior pork-barrel motives, feeding children). Even if the odds of any given administrative unit making a bad choice are the same, we're at least very unlikely to malnourish every child in every administrative region.
