That's mostly because Encyclopædia Britannica is styled that way.
I read the whole book 15 years ago. It was a waste of time and money.

The only new thing I found was a Turing Machine with (iirc) 1 less tape - the whole book could have been reduced to a 4 page paper, as far as new work is concerned.
I did a university course on Witchcraft in Early Modern Europe - reading text that talked about familiars (mostly cats) "sucking on their mistress" took some getting used to with the long "s"!
I started that one and feel like the format doesn't take much advantage of the medium: the videos are very much like traditional lectures. Of course being free is an immense plus, but then so are many books.

Specifically, I take issue with NG's foreign accent. That's just me looking for a reason, but it's the second time after Agarwal on MITx (and that wanted me to purchase his book). Also, I can already record lectures and play them back at will, only I have to leave the house for that. Besides that, these courses were rather classical university courses, it seems.

My gripe is, the videos are too long and my attention span too short. The first 2 weeks I could even pass just from what I learned reading HN, so I suppose I really prefer the socratic method instead of frontal education. Many would claim I was simply lazy and they'd be right, alas also derogitory.
My domain is actually .ch. I am not entirely sure how this goes, and i highly assume swear words are not what i actually ment. They just reserve their right to invalidate domains a few days in case they are inappropriate (i think that is the exact phrasing they use). This is also true for .eu, .de, .it, .li, .at but i doubt it happens often. Maybe it only refers to using registered trademarks? Dunno

I just tried to look it up. Seems it mostly happens for things like "Trademarksucks" which is afaik illegal (smearing or whatever the law is called) in most of europe.
It's fun pronouncing it 'correctly' though. As if English really has a "correctly" of course. And by fun I mean in a smug, self-satisfying way.
What are the benefits of accepting kicad files instead of gerbers?

I understand people can make errors when generating gerbers but they can also make tons of errors when sending you the kicad files (like not including custom libraries).
Their unique breakthrough is relighting rocket engines in a hypersonic airflow. Everything else is shoulders-of-giants and design iterations and good project management, but relighting rocket engines like that was an unknown.

Landing is a critical prerequisite to reuse: we can't reuse what we discard.

But the important reusability breakthrough comes in a few months when they do the first reflight of an orbital booster.
Yeah, after writing the article i also realized i dont mind verification actually. As long as they support whatever carrier i currently have. Its authentification that i bother with. (As in i have a phone number, i want internet on my phone, but i change it often monthly)

Also services like Twitter that allow any rented SMS service and multiple accounts for each number this seems not be the reason why they ask for a number.
Authenticating using OAuth is one pattern that can avoid having to maintain an API passthrough service of your own. It might not make sense for all apps, though - especially if your app doesn't have any notion of an account or signing in right now.
Finding Java/JVM Hotspots with Satoris Hotspot
Don't they use phone numbers exactly because they are hard to get/change.

A phone number, at least in the UK, means you've been pre-verified in some way - users can't in general generate new phone numbers like they can email addresses.

Thus, less problems with anonymous users (eg trolling, spamming) and less abuse from named users as they can usually be traced using the phone number.
I wonder what is the actual addressable market size. For example I know my needs are very well covered by Nespresso as my main requirements are fast brewing, easy manipulation, no washing necessary.

Maybe there would be a way to convert people like me (and I suppose we are in majority) to something fancier? I currently pay around 0.40€ per dose but I would be prepared to pay a bit more.
Well, you can get a baby, it will absolutely need you :)

That’s why free-trade agreements usually contain lots and lots of limitations to prevent it being actually free trade – and why the agreement Britain wants can never happen.
> With each object having around 96KB of private memory to itself

For reference/comparison, by default with SMP and HiPE enabled an Erlang process is initialised at 338 words, including 233 words of heap memory (which contains the stack and will increase as needed) and the rest being process meta-information.

96KB private memory means you'd probably want to have "nursery" cores and process migration.

KiCad Pcbnew files contain all required footprints etc., unlike the schematic files you need no libraries or such.

Creating Gerber files is sometimes hard as different fabs require different Gerber files. Starting with the file extension ending with floating point precision.

One argument against uploading KiCad files is copyright as the fab could reverse engineer the PCB. But this does not count for open source projects and is really unlikely to happen.

> The Shuttle was reusable only in the loosest sense

I specifically mentioned the main engines. And we can't really compare with the F9 when, once again, it has never been reflown. A lot more of the Shuttle was intended to be reusable than ended up being the case - who's to say how that will play out for the F9?

> Cost per pound to LEO wasn't remotely competitive with 60s vintage expendable systems like Soyuz

Soyuz is an excellent system, but it didn't have anything like the lift capacity of the Shuttle. The Shuttle wasn't cheap, but it was designed for a particular set of requirements - some of them reasonable, some of them less so - and for a much higher launch rate than actually happened, for a variety of reasons.

Can you even create a working Google account without a phone number? When I last tried that, it seemed to be mandatory from the start.

It never seemed to be a security measure, but an anti-spam measure. You can buy captcha solving as a service for fractions of a cent, and bulk create thousands of accounts for sending spam. Buying working phone numbers is more hassle and more expensive, and will leave a payment trail if you use a service like Twilio.
No, of the entering traffic, after they click on the ad, its as if 90% of them are not your typical organic visitor.
> Disks get the following treatment:

> “We enable hardware encryption support in our hard drives and SSDs and meticulously track each drive through its lifecycle. Before a decommissioned encrypted storage device can physically leave our custody, it is cleaned using a multi-step process that includes two independent verifications. Devices that do not pass this wiping procedure are physically destroyed (e.g. shredded) on-premise.”

Interesting. There were discussions on the past on how to clean HDD, if multiple-passes were really necessary or not.

Then SDD become the problem, since there is a interface between what you see (from the OS) and where the data really is (inside those chips). Now Google not only encrypts data before saving (that should be enough, no?) but also tries to wipe using multiple passes and 2 verifications.

Wonder how many companies do that.
Sure:) Perhaps I should have made clear that I was referring to the fact that CS231N follows the recommendation in the blog post - i.e. lots of exercises where you implement things in primitive Numpy - rather than a broad "it's a better course". CS231N is frustrating in the real-world respect, although you're given some general recipes e.g. use ReLU, use Adam, etc.

That said, I'd be interested to see some actual results from people taking what they learned in fast.ai (with no prior knowledge)and applying it to a new test set. It's easy to be impressed with the examples where you're walked through it, but figuring out what works on your data is whole new kettle of fish!

As abecedarius says, there's a good commentary on it in the Lions book (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lions'_Commentary_on_UNIX_6th_...). That was reprinted in the late 90s when I was at university and I read through it then. I think it is worthwhile still, with caveats. The C dialect is ancient (pre-K&R), some of the algorithms are rather naive, and the whole thing is "oriented towards a machine that is little more than a memory", to quote the reprint's introduction. That said, the commentary is excellent (giving enough hints to enlighten but often requiring you to work through the detail yourself as a teaching mechanism), and the whole thing is real production code that gives you a feel for how a complete Unix-ish kernel is structured (which still applies to modern kernels, much as a housecat and an elephant have clear skeletal similarities despite massive differences in scale and features).

xv6 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xv6) is a modern (x86/ANSI C) but similarly sized kernel designed for teaching purposes and to avoid the awkward obsolete-architecture-and-compiler aspects of the original 6th Ed code. If you can live with the PDP-11 assembly and ancient C (and not being able to run the code) I'd recommend the original, though.

They have a numbered line that goes from 1-8 that gets progressively more expensive. But don't think that you have to get the 8. It's more expensive but not necessarily better.

For the same reason when some fellow citizen acts against you, you may need to sue them yourself - Google provides a platform with some set of rules, but they can't proactively ensure nobody is doing something malicious to other parties (especially if the malicious act is allowed by the rules), nor they can codify and enforce "don't be an asshole" rule.

Designing Data-Intensive Applications by Martin Kleppman. He does a great job of distilling storage systems to concepts and discussing conceptual trade offs instead of focusing on particular storage products. Plenty of footnotes to relevant research papers too.
I have, and it was actually quite interesting and straightforward to understand. The style may seem extremely terse to those not accustomed to it, but I find it actually helps with no UltraLongAndRedundantlyVerbose identifiers to get in the way of seeing the structure and flow. Lions' book is a good guide, but I recommend reading and understanding the code first and resorting to Lions only when you get stuck.

The contrast to the UK, where we might someday build the HS2 line London-Birmingham-Manchester, is massive. I am left with a feeling of awe at China's development, and frustration at the UK's stagnancy.
Actually from a Bayesian perspective the average GNU/Linux user probably is more technically competent than the average Windows/NT user, if only because the former usually requires manually installing the OS.
I suppose if you're looking for a sound bite, yes.

But whereas Nintendo's chip was DRM, this Google chip appears to be more about determinism in boots and server provisioning, allowing them to immediately cut out a server that appears malicious or that has been compromised.

I.e. pry open case to insert an implant, chip notices bios has been altered, sends the "don't trust me" message to the network.
This is another signal of an interesting development on the hardware front. What used to be decoupled, with some companies offering hardware, and different companies buying hardware, is now coupled and hidden within these mega-companies (Google, Amazon, FB).

Google is big enough to develop a trusted hardware solution for internal use only, it has no financial need to sell it. Worse, due to competitiveness in the cloud segment, it is dis-incentivized from selling the solution.

Amazon Glacier is another one. It's an interesting long-term storage solution, whose hardware implementation is unavailable to the market, since AMZN can better explore it as a service under AWS.

We are heading onto a more closed ecosystem than we are used to up until here. The cloud, which gave us the immense positive benefit of moving all capex to opex, is birthing this immense negative side effect of closing off hardware implementations in favour of exploring the added value in the form of services.
Yeah, we want to make it into an e-commerce with a clear pricing included, this is our first sketch and we wanted to prove it could be a good idea, thanks for your comment, we will definitely follow that line!

Main useful point: the CSS doesn't look quite right on Firefox for Android.

As a non-startup guy, so not your core demographic:

I have barely an idea what "growth hacking analytics for SaaS" means, same for concepts like "churn". I know your core audience does, though, so that's not necessarily a bad choice of words. The product tour seems to me clearer, for some reason. If I had to convince my boss, I would send that page.

I have no idea how this product differs from others on the market. I mean, it's pretty clear what your product does, but it doesn't strike me as unique - based on the website, I'm confident I can find someone else to offer me the same functionality. Maybe someone here will say "Oh, but they do X, that's super hard!", and I'll concede the point.

The first question that pops to me is "how much would this cost?", so I checked the menu and voila! There it was. That was a positive experience.
