I thought the same until I picked it up again a few months ago. There are several factors to it's success (IMO) that are immediately obvious to my demographic (20-30):

* It's simple, stream-lined, and private (to an average user, maybe not the HN crowd) when compared to Facebook or any other social app.

* It appeals strongly to both men and women, which I think is an underrated aspect when it comes to viral tech popularity.

* It can be a more modest form of flirting then Tinder, or a more personable touch then text messaging, often playing a role in relationship building of all kinds.

* It's fun and free.

* It's a fantastic way to keep in touch with old friends, being much easier then a phone call (to the socially anxious among us) and providing a visual connection showing exactly what you are doing in that moment.
According to this article, Trump said in a deposition that he borrowed $9m against future inheritance, making claims it was only worth $1m suspect. Seems hard to get decent figures, other than those that show he consistently lies about the situation:

"across the Bering Strait"

Are you kidding me? Only North American anthropologists cling to this theory. Central and South Americans know that there are artifacts in the south that far predate anything in the north. But the north just ignores them because it doesn't fit their theory. The first people in the Americas did not arrive over the Bering Strait.
Yeah you can use Cloudflare to serve amp from your own subdomain instead of Google's CDN. https://blog.cloudflare.com/accelerated-mobile/
The dating scene these days really is awful. If they aren't looking for just sex, then any resemblance of a "serious" relationship is usually fleeting. Everyone is disposable, because there is always someone potentially "better" a swipe away. It's pretty sad, and I feel bad for this younger generation. I wish Tinder never existed.
The problem isn't that it's oligarchical, the problem is corruption. You don't need to look far to see that democracy and free markets aren't exactly free of corruption either.

This is a great result, but it is also old school machine learning (not that there is anything wrong with that).

Other things the taxes in France pay for:

- A functioning public transportation system (I was living in a city of 100k people and could get around by bus decently. The worst bus lines still came once every 20 minutes).

- almost free access to culture

- Being able to get your passport done in a week, not six. Maybe not the nicest people, but things happen a bit faster

But I think the core reason you don't see super-high salaries is because the system makes offering absurdly high salaries very costly, instead preferring for more people to make reasonable salaries. You have things like the fortune tax so that even if you don't have a salary, if you have too much money you'll get an extra tax.

It's a feature of the system, not a bug. The glib explanation is France hates rich people. Not everyone likes it but at least everyone gets 6 weeks vacation. And if you don't have a job you can still have a place to live and not live under constant fear of eviction.
This is amazing news as using Keras is my opinion the best way to start building models in TensorFlow for most people (and also having support for Theano is definitely a plus).
The gender dynamics are also very interesting. For example the ratio of men to women on many dating sites, the presence of fake profiles (bots), their connection to various sexual services (porn, cam shows, etc.), their pervasiveness (Tinder) in the college demographic. Sociology majors will have something to study for the next hundred years if they want it.

There is no way to answer this question, which means it's intended to blame. This site is clearly under development and I think it's better to encourage rather than discourage. Unless that's your bag, of course.
So I found this article completely lacking in real information. They could at least misrepresent an inconclusive study or something. This isn't even trying.

It does set the topic for a possibly interesting discussion. In the era of tinder is the dating scene better or worse for your stereotypical HN user (geeky/nerdy). Is there any evidence of a 90/10 rule for promiscuity in humans?

Not saying that tinder causes this behavior, that would be like cars being responsible for drunk drivers or guns being responsible for shootings. But I think these pressures encourage the behavior more than necessary. The number of lifetime sexual partners increases the risk of divorce and STDs.

"Bourgeon examined the approximately 36,000 bone fragments culled from the site and preserved at the Canadian Museum of History in Gatineau — an enormous undertaking that took her two years to complete. Comprehensive analysis of certain pieces at UdeM's Ecomorphology and Paleoanthropology Laboratory revealed undeniable traces of human activity in 15 bones. Around 20 other fragments also showed probable traces of the same type of activity. "

15 out of 36,000 is not very strong evidence. In a collection of bone fragments this large, nature and random chance are bound to produce a few fragments that strongly resemble those processed by humans. If humans were in the region 24000 years ago, other sites of similar age will eventually be found. If not, this site probably doesn't provide strong enough evidence to stand on its own.
The parent is talking about visiting and you warp it into colonizing. Aboriginals probably knew about these places but had better places to live than a craggy, barren island with salt spray in their faces. If the aboriginals had the foresight to predict the land grabbing empire builders they may of dug themselves in but then some other fanciful justification tale like religious freedom would have been created to justify aboriginal displacement and land robbery.

The Tiny Town That Makes the World's Seafood
The "tech bubble" is mostly a VC fueled startup phenomena in Silicon Valley. It pushed up salaries across the board near there but did not spread beyond a couple of locations in major cities. Even that is probably not worth mentioning when you consider the higher cost of living and the crazy hours alot of people were required to work in order to earn those salaries.

If you're part of the startup scene, it may be harder to leap into a similar or better startup roll as, I agree, that bubble may burst anytime soon. But then you either wait it out or join the regular mortals coding away and still producing multiples of their salary in value.

Why the Internet is Good (1999)
I sat right next to a really smart guy who was a hadoop administrator.

Turns out he got a PhD in theoretical physics and did some graduate work at Fermilab.

Holy crap...this run of the mill Hadoop administrator is some kind of physics genius.

I asked him why....he said that his true love, particle physics, just didn't pay the bills like any random IT related job does.

Which is a damn shame.

PS: While we were talking, a dude one row over popped up and said he had a PhD in Chemistry or something.
I feel like this is only partially true.

The majority of the articles, excluding those from large name corps, are simple loading pages. Using primarily the basic HTML and inline CSS. You do have the occasional blog page with some fancy touches, but the majority of the links that I click on while browsing HN has me questioning why, on sub par satellite internet, that HN and a majority of it's submitted posts work when Facebook, Google, Bing, etc.. does not.

I feel it can.

Everything just feels so bloated.
I also wondered whether the blog post might be native advertising.
It's not an AMP thing per se, it's how Google handles AMP in search results.
In my anecdotal experience, the dating scene is better. I'm geeky, pale, and balding, but I put up a few flattering photos of myself and I can get a couple dates a week if I put effort into it. I can't imagine pulling that off if I had to rely on real-life social interaction alone.
This is the same argument as "self-signed certificates are useless". They aren't. Not all interception is MitM. With spy agencies operating passive taps on infrastructure, as a fraction of your intercepted traffic, virtually none of it us. Completely unsigned, unverified encryption is still a massive roadblock to dragnet surveillance.

>does literally nothing to prevent MitM attacks

It does more than nothing. Especially if you make the reasonable assumptions that 1) the user is not being MitMed most of the time and 2) the user is likely to have connected to the (small) set of sensitive sites before they experience their first MitM.

Example: my home internet is unadulterated. I check my mail. My computer saves the certificate. I go to a coffee shop. I check my mail again. Somone tries to MitM me. My computer instantly spots a changed certificate.

Obviously we should still use and verify certificates. But I notice a nasty trend of making the perfect the enemy of the good in security. There's a perception that if it's not perfect, it's worse than useless and should be shunned (probably due to historical bad experiences with false senses of security).

A (feeble) plug for my hometown, Manchester NH (where Dean Kamen is currently located): I just visited the Millyards and they have apartments there that would cost $3500/month in Boston (more in SF) for $1400/month, Dean just pledged $300 million to biotech startups right there. Not much nightlife but not many distractions either, and they've put these beautiful restaurants in the old mills. It's about the same distance to Boston as Palo Alto is to SF. So if you want to drop off the grid for a while to focus on developing a product it's a great place to get started. Yeah.
Things like the moonshot, and the ISS, and getting to Mars, despite everyone's continual criticism of them, are essential because with projects that stretch large timeframes, and rapidly changing Congresses, you need something politically unkillable - otherwise it will be killed, to pay for someone else's pet spending increase.

Which of these do you think would generate outrage? Axing the moonshot, or defunding an experimental thruster research program?

Doing cool stuff might not be the most efficient way to do research, but it's a hell of a lot better than nothing, and it inspires generations.
The work of the late Dr. Otto Octavius may prove an interesting study for you.
Did you mean to reply to me? I ask because your comment appears to be disagreeing with arguments that I never made.

My major point was that (1)the coast, by itself, was not a critical factor either pro or con. (2) What appears to matter when it comes to becoming a first rate city is food production and access to trade, be it by road, river, or sea--preferably, all three.

Your defense thesis doesn't make sense. If defense really mattered, cities would be built on mountain tops, but they aren't. Instead, cities grow where trade flourishes. They take their lumps, periodically, from invasion, and then rebuild and get back to business. Virtually every major city from the ancient world is still in business, even though the empire that founded it has long since been destroyed. Only when the economic basis of the city gets destroyed, does the city die. That argues for economics trumping military considerations, which, again, was my thesis.

Finally, bombers don't appear to have altered this equation one bit. To the best of my knowledge, the major cities from before WWII are still major cities today.
Technology tends to make things easier and more convenient, encouraging more of it. It amplifies both the good and the "bad" of society. This article is just shedding some light on this.

AMP is the reason why I stopped using Google News on mobile. They butchered again one of their product. I'm glad that RSS feeds are still a thing.
Why? The model has worked for Korea in many ways. Korea was an absolute disaster in the 1950s and unprecedented cooperation between private enterprise and government was one of the primary reasons why a tiny half-peninsula with no natural resources is now a very significant player in the world economy.

Very few of the problems Korea is facing would be solved by a shift to "a true liberal democracy", whatever that means.
> Which leads to the question, why is google doing this? They, you, could easily promote AMP pages while not masking the real URL!

Perhaps to allow the content to be served from a CDN (over HTTPS), without requiring the site to CNAME over their domain to Google.

If webmasters are willing to CNAME over their domain to a caching proxy, then a less intrusive design is possible[0], such as the one recently announced by Cloudflare[1].

I disagree. I think trying to take advantage of your competitors outage situation is bad form, mainly because you will mostly likely suffer an outage as well. From a marketing point of view, it may be good for a while, but can be used against you in the future. This is the first thing my first manager taught me 20+ years ago in software, and I still tend to agree with him.
In my opinion, they've already violated the trust of publishers. Take Google Lyrics for example:

http://phandroid.com/2014/12/31/google-lyrics-search/

In all fairness, lyric sites were terrible. Slow, riddled with ads, and sometimes incorrect. While Google's lyrics are a great service to the user, they're at the top of search and displayed inline. There's no reason to go to lyric sites anymore.

My biggest fear is Structured Data and AMP. With Structure Data, you volunteer your most valuable data in a format Google can easily consume and adapt to its own needs - all so you can get better page rankings. When Google introduces its own service in the same market - just like lyrics - you're effectively cut off from your audience. And with AMP, you don't have to wait for Google to siphon your traffic - you're volunteering.

Just a tip... check out the application process for a work visa now. Work visas anywhere always take way longer than the applicant wants.

Getting married before you leave will change the type of visa you need... and might shorten the time required (but probably by not as much as you'd hope).

Good luck.

Actually on Mars it would (or so it's thought) create a sort of self sealing system. The building's atmosphere will contain humidity, so as air leaks out through the super cold Martian soil that moisture will freeze, sealing the leak.

It's also worth pointing out that the buildings don't have to be perfectly air tight. Small slow leaks are quite acceptable.
From the article:

> he testified that he didn't use this code

I read that as implying that the emails included code. As a developer, my emails have included code; and it's not so surprising that his emails would have included code when he was working with an external party.

> if it's a clean room implementation

It cannot be a clean room implementation if the same individual is involved in the creation of both instances.

> because TensorFlow’s API is verbose and confusing, and because Keras has the most thoughtfully designed, expressive API I’ve ever experienced

This doesn't feel fair to say, just like it wouldn't if you replaced "Tensorflow" with "C" and "Keras" with "Python". They operate on fundamentally different levels and provide a similar trade off in control/ease of use.

We started using Keras for a project a few months ago, and it was great while it supported what we were doing. Once we needed to go outside of the box a little bit we essentially had to rewrite it in just Tensorflow.

This is great news though! Hopefully it will make the barrier to entry much lower for getting started with Tensorflow.
