I wont be cancelling the service any time soon, but I agree a lot of the content is just not that great. Netflix is basically going with an approach of providing as much content as they can based on viewership data. The problem is when you do this the quality really begins to show. Further everyone is raving over Netflix and their quality with single seasons, but we're seeing what happens on shows that hit 2, 3, 4 seasons. OITNB is getting stale, House of Cards declined hard, Kimmy Schmidt season 1 & 2 were vastly different in feel, the Marvel shows are really beginning to turn into slogs, etc.

> Glitch is a "Netflix Original" in the US, but it was made by ABC Australia.

Netflix is on the production team for the second season.

> It seems Netflix Original now just means "currently Netflix holds exclusive rights to this show in your country".

That's not really out-of-line with current industry norms though. Larger production companies buy the rights to films made by smaller production companies and put their names on them all the time. For example, Moon comes to mind. Sony didn't produce it but it's a "Sony Picture". Or Primer, StudioCanal had nothing to do with the production but is currently listed as the production company.
> What you are saying is not connected to smart scientist like Arthur C. Clarke

I would urge you to be more cautious before whitewashing someone. There are many well respected smart scientists who were later found to have committed despicable acts. For example, the Nobel prize winner: Daniel Carleton Gajdusek

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Carleton_Gajdusek

American physician and medical researcher who was the co-recipient (with Baruch S. Blumberg) of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1976 for work on kuru, the second human prion disease demonstrated to be infectious.
In 1996, Gajdusek was charged with child molestation and after being convicted, spent 12 months in prison before entering a self-imposed exile in Europe, where he died a decade later.
IBM Touts Trump-Pleasing Hiring Plans While Firing Thousands
The real problem with Medicine is there are too many frauds practicing it. Until that is addressed, nothing can be done. It's like telling people to drive less on the weekend while 800,000 ton cargo boats cross the Atlantic. What is this article really selling? More profit margin for large research firms. Somehow, that doesn't seem like the solution.

I guess its okay if its subtle, but I'm still scratching my head over an episode of Mr. Robot that was pretty much an Amazon Alexa commercial. The Alexa dialogue didn't do anything to advance the plot or build out the characters or build drama. It was completely tacked on and a bizarre attempt at several minutes of product placement. Worse, the USA Network also runs ads. So it was needless double-dipping.

Trump gets the blame for saying idiotic things about it ("Russia's not going into Ukraine") and laying out the red carpet for Russia to do similar things to our NATO allies, not for the Crimean occupation itself.

> Not really that just puts _text_ (raw executable machine code, and binary data) at certain locations in memory and updates some other _text_ to ensure branches/functions point to the right location. This isn't rocket science it works well. All in all loaders are very fast.

Really, they are not. In fact resolving symbols in ELF shared libraries is inherently complex and slow. Pick any program which is linked to lots of shared libraries and try running 'time program --version'. 'qemu-system-x86_64 -version' takes 60ms on my laptop.
Another (obvious) optimization is to make functions that have to be inline smaller. For example, std::string is used ubiquitously in C++ programs; this change shaved a few MBs of .text from a bunch of large services at FB: https://github.com/facebook/folly/commit/be4c6d6b3e21914df8a... .
That's the point I'm aiming at, if you have to do real work in VR, then two hours is not enough.

But with headsets small and light enough, it will enable a completely new market. Magic leap said recently that they are now working with production level designs and that it will be smaller than what is currently on market, let's hope that's the case :-)

I travel with art supplies and my spouse with a camera. For context, I*m American and he's Norwegian.

> How does that kind of reasoning not turn any European male with money living in an exotic location into a suspected paedophile?

If said "exotic" location was not listed as a place most preferred by paedophiles, then yes, your reasoning would be correct. I don't think "higher than average rates" reflects the reality of the situation. Also, there's more than just those two facts. Eg: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/press/notw-editor-sp...

It helps to remember what phones look like at the time. They were all fairly ugly and blocky. The spring loaded mouthpiece was fairly cool looking. Of course, it doesn't exist. That phone never had a spring in it. That was a modification for the movie and I'm fairly certain you couldn't make out the logo or brand. So I'm guessing this probably wasn't product placement. Imagine the angry customers flocking to the store to see that the phone doesn't do what it did in the movies.
Chinese bike-sharing startup Mobike snags strategic investment from Foxconn
We got hit by a fraudulent coder recently when we tried to hire a contractor to help out on a short-term project. Went through an agency and interviewed several of their developers via telephone and screen sharing until we found a competent one, but never brought him in for a face-to-face interview. Then when we hired him and he showed up in the office we figured out after a few days that he was completely incompetent. Turns out it was a different person! I'm not sure whether the agency orchestrated the fraud, or if that individual contractor just had one of his friends do the interview for him.

Haven't tried that but I've used something called Rocketbook that is a notebook with features on each page that an app can recognize and easily capture and upload pages to specific destinations. So I can take notes by hand and still have a digital record with don't rudimentary tagging. Then you can reuse the notebook. Requires a specific pen and the right smartphone but to me this is totally worth it and I'm not stuck with no notes when I forget the notebook!

https://facebook.github.io/react-native/

> With React Native, you don't build a “mobile web app”, an “HTML5 app”, or a “hybrid app”. You build a real mobile app that's indistinguishable from an app built using Objective-C or Java. React Native uses the same fundamental UI building blocks as regular iOS and Android apps.
You just put those building blocks together using JavaScript and React.

You can use native code, the JS components render to native things -- there's a lot to it, and I'm sure I can't explain it properly, better to just check out their guide.

Also, React Native was not built to be used on all the platforms -- I remember when RN for android (I believe IOS support was out first?), people started asking (of course) whether they could write code that would run on both platforms and the tools team said something to the effect of "the code will look similar, but will not be the same".

Of course, that doesn't stop someone from writing components that compile to other components or something or writing some sort of cross-platform group of components on top.
Would professionals in any other industry complain about a tool that took only weeks to learn? If a particular language really does help us write better software, a few weeks is a tiny amount of time to spend learning it.

They are obviously concerned about long term viability of their core cellphone business, enough that they are diversifying into a massive range of products from alkaline batteries[0] to reverse osmosis water purifiers[0]. Some of their offerings, such as wifi routers and rice cookers (yes, Xiaomi make rice cookers[2] that send notifications to your phone when your meal is ready) are mildly successful while others are received with either apathy or outright animosity such as their drones which crashed during a livestreamed demo flight.

Neil Gaiman once said you only have to nail two out of the three following traits: be nice to work with, be on time (deadlines) and be talented. If you're talented and you're nice to work with, you can be late all you want. If you're on time and you're a delight to work with, you can get away with being a mediocre talent. And finally, if you're talented and on time most people will let slide the fact you're a bastard.

Nicely done! But I'm assuming that this is more of an exercise rather than a real-world application of ML? I say this because the task of keeping a car between two lines is trivially done using control algorithms. Of course, the CV part -- "seeing" the lines -- requires some form of ML to work in the real world.

Ask HN: Unreal Engine or Unity for Long-Term VR Project?
I'm a software developer and this is my first experience with 3D and VR. I planned to create a small prototype for Social VR project and I want to find the best fit for that.

Does anybody know pros and cons of these engines when it comes to VR?
Have you ever had an incident with a bank where you thought "damn, I wish I would have warned them earlier"? Has this advice worked for you? Has it worked for anyone?

In my experience, they do what they want.

Another anecdotal data point with a different UK bank: Recently an acquaintance has found themselves frequently locked out of their account because (according to their fraud team) someone is failing authentication challenges on the phone. My acquaintance has had to visit a branch multiple times to verify their identity and get passwords changed.

So even though someone can't prove who they are, they're locking my acquaintance out. How's that fair?

The kicker was one phone call where (after having discovered the account was locked... again...) the fraud team on the phone sounded incredulous, asking why we hadn't gone in to branch like they asked "last night"? Less than 30 seconds later they noticed last night's call was marked suspicious... that authentication failed... and that that phone call had triggered the lock the account.

The worst part is that no "human" will take your case on. They read from a script and aren't allowed to empathise. No "I'm really sorry, I can see why you're upset" or even "If what you're saying is true, I wouldn't be happy either."
I concur. Some of the most talented, guv skeptics I have met began their careers in military roles(eg:education & training). A blanket ban would be no different than a witch hunt in terms of justice and harm to falsely accused.

I suppose the many banks that have been fined for _actively_ laundering money shouldn't have done that then, casting a pall as it has over the entire industry.

It's always 'boohoo the Banks are so troubled' but how hard is it to refrain from actively laundering money for drug cartels or third world despots or any number of other illicit sources? How hard is it to refrain from rigging the LIBOR or selling sub-prime CDOs to your clients to clear your own books after marking years of profit building up another debt bubble?

I have very little patience or sympathy for the modern banking industry and their travails screwing the rest of us over, and getting off with rather unimpressive fines, if we're honest.

This guy had his entire account seized. What if the banks were fined commensurate to their profits and they really started to feel the pinch? That, combined with personal liability for the officers involved with these scandals would certainly clean the problem up expeditiously.
No surprising. The special sauce really isn't what the grew up with. Please the bun is bready it a turnoff for kids that grew up on wraps and microwave thin crust pizzas. The sesame seeds can also be turn-off.
I have in fact written my own ELF parser. I was speaking more to static libraries/binaries which once parsed are only a handful of pointer jumps/memset calls.

Dynamic segments are very complex :|

The load time for Dynamic libraries isn't really on the _loader_. You need to do disk searches/file IO to load the libraries parsing MANY additional files.

Starting a program that has 20 dynamic links isn't starting a program. It is starting 20. The bottle neck is not parsing, it is File IO.

Well it may be perhaps not suspicious but intriguing. There may be any number of reasons for such a move. (For instance he may have felt more at ease fraternising with boyfriends away from prude old England.) Look, I am not trying to whitewash him.

You seem to believe everyone fits into a pattern you have preconceived. I was speaking generically, some people find it valid and valuable to do so, which does not mean that you (specifically) will find any value in it. I don't read about sports, should nobody be able to write their opinion about a sporting event? How do we know this may not lead novice sports persons astray?

>It's "valid" as in legal, but hardly commendable.

While arguable not 'commendable' is it 100% of the time reprehensible?

I'm not sure why you are being downvoted here. I found the post you are replying to as way too shrill myself.

The truth is, I've seen several articles in the past concerning female domestic violence against men. Such as here: http://time.com/2921491/hope-solo-women-violence/ and here: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2010/sep/05/men-victims-... So these articles do exist out there.

Generally speaking, I personally think there's a fairly easy biological explanation for the emotive difference in reporting and society: men are biologically stronger than women, and thus will have a greater tendency to injure / harm when they engage in domestic violence. This is noted in the Time article as well as several references in the Wikipedia article on domestic violence against men (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_violence_against_men#...).

This is not to say that domestic violence against men should be ignored (on the contrary, it shows that there is a blind spot, contributed by certain social stereotypes driven by the biological fact that in general, men are stronger than women). But in my view, turning this into a tired "social justice warrior vs. men's right's activists" Internet argument is a great way to get this issue ignored. When this happens, activists tend to entrench in their circles and shout at each other, and the rest of the population ignores them and continues onward with their standard assumptions.
Why should this be Barclays' problem at all, though? Beyond perhaps some objective criteria for reporting certain financial transactions to the authorities that deal with things like fraud or money laundering, why should anyone other than official government departments be responsible for making any judgement or taking any other action here? Let the appropriate government departments take official legal action if they think there's a real case to be made, and let them cover the costs of that. Let banks provide banking services and banking customers use them. It's really not complicated or unfair, until someone makes it so.
Putting right or wrong aside, blogging has one crucial benefit: it's practice for explaining your code to other people. That's a critical skill you'll need throughout your career, no matter your level of talent.

Since npm 3 (about 18 months ago), the node_modules dir tree is now 'flat' and de-duped (where possible).

There have always been version wildcards as far as I know. Long paths caused by the deeply nested tree were a problem in Windows only, addressed (I believe, I can't find open issues on it) by the flattening in npm 3.
