There isn't much controversy unless you follow stalmanisn (not that there is anything wrong with it).

The SoCs require some closed source blobs to work this is the case for just about any computing device out there.

The board designers are also somewhat limited in what they can release because they often are under an NDA again nothing wrong with that it's just how it is.

You can try and build everything from OS components but you'll fail or will end up with something which isn't very useable or useful.

I rather have good modern boards that are mostly open than a completely open clone of a 1982 era computer.
If I have two devices connected to a switch, how can they see each other's traffic?

They will probably make you throw it away. I temporarily lost the battery to my euro mobile. I got an SSSS on my boarding pass and they made me show all of the electronics working. Luckily I found the battery and it had a charge on it.

Why would it be illegal? If Best Buy didn't want to stock a physical product that made it easier to buy things online instead of getting them at Best Buy, why should they have to stock it?
You might want to look at the Pi compute boards they come with stronger cups and don't have any of the crap you don't need.

They also interpret our app as "modifying the function of other apps." We're working through the appeals process and I'm hoping that they'll see the light the way you have!
Actually, Cloudflare offer you certs they sign (which wouldn't be trusted by others, but they verify), that you can use to encrypt from the server to them. You still have to trust Cloudflare, but it's not plain text from cloudflare to your server.

If you mean the case where you literally can't serve under HTTPS, it's not just getting the cert that is the problem, in most cases running a local proxy of something that will would fix it, although I accept there are cases (cheap shared hosting, I guess) where that's not an option.
That sounds fascinating, but as someone who works in IT I feel as though refusing to use the internet until lunch would probably get me fired pretty fast.
I tried it on iOS with Instagram. It worked in the sense that I followed the breathing exercise and cancelled opening Instagram. I did that exercise twice and cancelled each time. I noticed the urge to open Instagram decreased but at the same time the urge to open any other app increased to get that information high. I guess there should be a system-wide lock/delay so I cannot cheat by switching to other apps for my high. … So the best solution for me at this time would be to put the phone away and only use it in certain allowed time frames, similar to what the author does with no Internet before lunch.
Gosh, I'd love another S2K. Hopefully once the Supra launches, Honda will be more motivated to do a more hardcore sports car, possibly with the Type R Civic drivetrain in a RWD roadster configuration.
Ask HN: What do you do in a machine learning job?
Based on what I know of ML (which is basically nothing), it seems to like most things are based on a few generic algorithms. Is most of the time in an ML job spent tweaking the parameters of these generic algorithms to achieve the desired result? E.g. tweaking the error function for backpropogation when training a neural network.
I am not proposing anything that radical. The first thing I would probably do is to stop using subtherapeutic ABs to grow animals. That would reduce 50% or more of the world AB usage and is certainly the easiest thing to try.
Nice try. None of those "stats" prove that the US is racist. It shows disparities based on race, but racism is one of many possible reasons. I could throw up a number of "stats" proving the US isn't racist (anymore than any other country).
Ask HN: Parents-what extra education to you give your kids?
If your kid is in public school, I imagine you supplement a little at home. Very curious what activities people have their kids doing to better prepare them.
I'm a big fan of Thomas Piketty's idea of a progressive global tax on wealth.

I think that the root cause of a lot of the financial stress that many people are feeling right now is the result of having too many people leeching off of passive income from their investments/wealth (derived from work they did 30 years ago) and not actually contributing anything new to society.

These wealthy people have become parasites.

Right now, if I build an office building and I rent it out to people; assuming that I manage to stay afloat during the first few years, the passive income that I will later generate from that investment will probably keep coming in for the rest of my life... Even worse than that; when I die, my children would be able to keep getting the free passive income; they could just sit there and consume stuff (make others work for them) without working themselves; without contributing anything new to society.

There is a point when you have to stop paying these passive earners. We're already doing it when it comes to patents/copyrights (In many countries, copyrights expire after 70 years or so... Patents generally expire sooner than that) - We need to either extend this notion of 'expiry' to ALL property rights OR at the very least tax that wealth. Why should regular property be treated any differently than intellectual property?

Right now, what we have is crony capitalism. If we wanted to have proper capitalism; companies like Ford, GM, Toyota... would all have to pay royalties to the descendants of the people who invented the wheel and also to all the descendants of the people who discovered iron ore, etc... That would be fair - Actually, doing this would probably have the same effect as passive income since probably every human has at least one person in their ancestry who made a major contribution to mankind (why don't they get royalties for that?).

When you put it into context, the rules of our current flavor of capitalism just seem ridiculously arbitrary.

I think that a progressive global tax on wealth combined with basic income would be a perfect way to average out the unfairness of the system without damaging the capitalist incentive structure.
Some people get personal satisfaction from creating. Some people get it from creating for other people. Some people get it from the pure act of bringing into being something which did not exist before.

I hope you realize how lucky you are to be one of the people who can create for its own sake; if more people were like that, the world would likely be a vastly better place.

This phrase interests me - what does it mean? Like they can dress them down, or make them look foolish?

The printed book still expensive on amazon. I guess it's still important these days.
huge success may have luck, but it is always in combination with greed.

The average worker and entrepreneur wannabe in Silicon Valley has nowhere near the requisite and absolute focus on pure self interest that Larry Ellison, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, etc. have/had. Look to how Woz or Paul Allen was treated by them.
C++ is a special beast though. It's famously complex.

What gets my goat is the idea that some recruiters have that I - as someone with mostly C# experience - would be completely useless in a Java environment.

Java and C# are so similar it's barely worth noticing. There'd be different IDEs and libraries in play - and sure, a lot of googling to remind myself of stuff in the first week. But that pales into the comparison to the amount of time I'll likely spend learning the business domain, or how the legacy code base works. That's the stuff that's truly important.
Along the same lines I don't see people considering the new power base this would provide the people who controlled it. Do you really think it would stay simple with no requirements or controls and corresponding government agencies to oversee it. That agency will be scary.
There's a difference between means-tested handouts and basic income. Since everyone gets it, asic income might not have the same stigma.
>I believe basic human nature includes curiosity. Living in a society means one will naturally seek the appreciation, acceptance and respect of their peers. I think these alone will eventually lead most people to contribute something useful to our world one way or another.

As someone living in a small third world welfare state, I can't help but laugh at the naiveté that can lead someone to believe something like that.

In here, and I don't believe the rest of the world can be that much different, the overwhelming majority of people with their basic needs covered by the state dedicate themselves to a routine of TV, social media and other social rituals of all kinds, all devoid of intellectual pursuit. The few who do look into self-improvement are the same ones that have done it regardless of the economic condition of the lower class of their time; most of this very small minority managing to make it into the middle or upper class with or without welfare checks.
Funny seeing you here :) I think we've worked out some interop issues between our OPC UA stacks in the past.

Honest question: do you know of examples of plans/layout diagrams of family apartments in Europe? I'd love to see how they compare.
Your domain is at best worth a few hundred. Your code is worth an hourly rate x hours worked, discounted. (since there needs to be a reason to buy vs build)

Assuming you and your partner put in 20 hours a week, I'd guess $5000 for an untested business is the best you could hope for.
Jesus Christ. The President said that people from Mexico have come to the US and committed crimes including rape. Is that untrue? If it is true, should we be letting them in?

He also said that he would block any immigration from Muslim countries until those people could be fully vetted. You only need to look at the Paris, German and UK attacks to see the consequences of not doing that.

Neither of those sound all that unreasonable to me.
Isn't this article conflating feed forward applications of trained conv nets with the training of conv nets? The latter is what is so expensive, yet it seems like the demo of object recognition is the former, and not a breakthrough to run on a phone AFAIK.
So if I have a masters in CS, but in a different discipline, will that be okay if I'm now wanting to shift focus to data science through a series of my own side projects utilizing ML?
> I was under the assumption that the Earth is not likely to have another carboniferous period.

Well, we are busy recycling that one. All that carbon in the atmosphere will likely eventually precipitate out. On a geological timescale oil is renewable; it's simply that humans don't live that long. I suppose the cockroach civilization 60 megayears hence will be able to power their vehicles that way.

Or, you could be one of the few who believes the abiotic theory of oil production. I'm not one of them!

I really hate to get into a debate about semantics, but that is not what "able" means. =)

I think I understand your position better now, though. It's not so much about whether voters can vote themselves more money - it's about whether they have the incentive to. I don't agree, because I think shared interest in the stability of the system would be a strong opposing force, but I can see where you're coming from.
But it doesn't happen as you would want. The bacteria evolves fast but it doesn't mean they will create antibiotics for other bacterias. You have to be in the right place at the right moment. And them wait a lot of years until you can use that antibiotic in the human race.
So, the effects of our decisions end up with racist results, yet we aren't racists? If it acts like a duck...
Pretty neat idea. Love how simple it is to implement, just one GET request.
> But it presupposes highly monopolistic behavior that doesn't seem very likely to work for most markets.

Higher education costs expanded to absorb the extra money from the student loans thrown at them, healthcare costs increased as more consumers started competing for a fixed supply of appointment slots, hospital beds and medical services.
It is when you consider the state of hardware support. Hopefully something like the fairphone will become popular.
To elaborate, it's misleading because no nuke was involved. The missile was (of course!) not carrying a nuclear warhead for the test.
I couldn't agree more about the myopia. At the last place I worked I did a lot of interviewing of fresh outs for development and data science positions. Most of these kids came from elite schools with fine academic records. But hardly any of them had ever worked at a McDonalds or swung a hammer over the summer or done any job that made you sore the next day. I was in my 50s at the time and thought that strange but the HR folks said, nope, thats they way they all come these days.

I can't help but think that spending at least one summer picking oranges or unloading 18-wheelers would give tech people a little more perspective and some compassion for what most of the rest of the country has to deal with.
You think you're talking about staying on top of your goals, but you're actually talking about self-esteem.

Fulfilling tasks gives you a socially-understood purpose and a sense of security within your social environment. Failing at them leaves you exposed to other's judgment or your own.

Inspirations and motivations can allow us to dust ourselves off. At least for a while. We retell our minds that it's not over yet, we've not yet failed and can keep moving towards our goals. At least I learned. I'm just not winning ...yet. Growth Mindset.

They are guard rails so that we can correct our behaviour and not lay around feeling humiliated.

However, while internally we can save face, can we do so externally? One might tell themselves they are persevering but to others they might be flailing. You need good marketing. And if it keeps happening perhaps a behavioural compass tuned better to your abilities.

Whatever you might achieve, realise that this is only your self trying to maintain favourable relations with the outside world. The best protection against that being self-respect, respect of others and consciousness of this relation.

It just dawned on me that I probably have theory for this, because I am bad at it in practice.

---

I didn't respond to the question of how to keep going at whatever you're doing, because the practical considerations outside of what I said are basic. To be seen as 'determined' and full of 'grit' simply do one hard day's work and then repeat it continually unabating. And, get a good night's sleep. And, try to be more skilled than your competition. Etc.

Actually there are a few ways to hack motivation. The easiest is to simplify or localise a task, but the deeper and more fundamental way is by internalising 'I do not need a concoction of extrinsic motivations to do things, I will just start now and not stop'. I am not sure how to teach other's how to jump-start that belief, but I suspect you'll be able to work it out.

The honest truth is that it's a bit like 'going through the pain barrier' in that there is no barrier that you'll pass through and no longer feel pain. You'll merely be exposed to the pain of 'motivatedness' enough that you'll learn to live with it. Does that sound bad? Well ...it is. Continual pain is a sure-sign that you're trying to do something that you're not meant to do. I think you'll find that you'd be much happier if you avoided adversity, however the important thing to remember is that you have a choice here.
I suppose it really depends on your threat model. I think most offices will be fine with the warning. However, you could configure each device to only respond to the trusted IP address of a HTTPS proxy which at least lowers the attack surface for snooping.
Jesus H. Christ, what an irritating writer.
That's a really interesting theory on Lincoln's motivations. Any sources that would back that up?
Well it is Apple's store, they can pick and choose what they want to sell just like any other store.
I closed my Facebook and Twitter accounts about a month ago for similar reasons: it's not only I want my attention back, it's that users of these systems have become their de-facto free workers (providing eyes for advertisers and becoming live human bait to lure more eyes --your friends-- in a never-ending, never-fully-satisfied loop). I haven't suffered from cold turkey. Everything seems a bit slower now, and that's good.

A tangential thought: I hate reading stuff on Medium specially because they need to feed me what other people found interesting about the article ("top highlight!") instead of letting me do the job.

Those things weren't created primarily to give people work, they were created to fulfill demand for electricity and transportation, respectively.

If no one needs to commute to work in Manhattan, then there is no need for a Lincoln Tunnel. If no one has business meetings or disposable income for leisure travel, then LAX and LaGuardia would be idiotic.

We do see this kind of stuff - huge infrastructure projects with no users - in China.
It takes a while to get used to the idiomatic constructs of a language. Luckily it's much easier than with natural languages.

My first Ruby programs were very Java like. I doubt that my first Java programs were C like, if you use classes and methods it just can't be. No problem with using Python and Ruby together. They are maybe like German and English, close but clearly distinguishable. And Javascript, Perl, PHP, Elixir... too long to write about.

A consequence of multilingualism is that one starts noticing the differences in the implementation of the same features in different languages. Some are smooth, others are frustratingly hard to use or to remember. A quick test on a trivial nuisance, you must not Google it: in Python it's array.join(",") or ",".join(array)? And "1,2,3".split(",") or ",".split("1,2,3")? I remember only that "," goes to the opposite ends in the two expressions and I can't understand why that should be good.
Where this gets interesting is that the British Prime Minister may or may not have known about this before the vote went to parliament to renew/upgrade this white elephant.

The funny thing is that the nuclear deterrent of the UK is obsolete for reasons not widely discussed. Nowadays anyone with enough money to bother can make themselves a 'drone submarine' to track the nuclear subs out of Scotland and to wherever they hide in the ocean depths. This is a game changer and the people in GCHQ really are not pleased with this.

The other thing about the 'British' nuclear deterrent is that the U.S. holds the keys to the launch buttons, so the UK would not be able to 'nuke Trump' (or take out the Pentagon for the good of the world...).

Anyway, keep watching this story and the political ramifications, if the Prime Minister did know that Trident was not working before the vote to waste more money on this 'preparation for war' then that could be a sackable offence...

Pre conception and post conception genetic screening is available and is practiced by a lot of people and in some case whole populations.

If both parents are carriers of certain genes there are solutions if only one it's easier and just selective fertilization is often used.
Don’t Hate on Iceberg Lettuce
Mine was a little less about patterns in some cases (2 year school though) and you got to take plenty of different programming classes from Web, to C to C++, Scripting Languages, C#, Java, and others. After it all I somewhat try my best to be language agnostic, with sane reasoning, I will raise my concerns if I know the faults of a language. It would be silly to just code in any language asked to and never raise concerns or offer alternatives if they fit your workflow better.
Your reference says that Americans think they need ~900 sqft per person, which I agree is around what the people I know think is enough. So I guess I'm pretty average in my thinking.
Trump declares that England has always been the deepest enemy of the U.S.A, receives instructions from Putin to retaliate.

U.S.A. nukes London.
I wonder how much of this is due to the candlelight and how much due to not actively consuming content from a lit screen. I had a similar experience without candlelight. I use warm LED lights in the evening. When I don't use a laptop/phone/tablet I fall asleep much earlier. I guess just using such a device keeps the brain active, and the light it emits is enough to delay melatonin production, causing terrible sleep cycles.

I don't know how it compares to the cost of a Chevy Impala, but it's definitely possible to get the Ferrari look on a budget, here's one example of a kit to convert a Toyota MR2 to look like a Ferrari F360 (similar kits exist for other cars):
