1) is simply untrue - someone else here posted why. It's a virtual SSID, same as you creating a second private network on your Ubiquiti AP or whatnot. It does not increase spectrum usage.

I understand that this could have created access points in apartments that didn't previously have them, but that was likely to happen either way. I also understand most folks are not used to living in extreme wifi density, so it's a shock at what you have to do to get good coverage. Welcome to the unlicensed band - in many areas you have to have a AP within visual range of you to get decent performance and this has nothing to do with Comcast. I actually just finished installing an AP-per-room in my place, due to the sheer number of neighbor APs. Only a few of which were Xfinity - I am quite used to living in high density environments.

The days of naively tossing up the latest and greatest AP+router combo with the highest gain antenna possible is largely over, at least for anything resembling an urban environment. You see many companies in the space realizing this and you'll see even more products based around the need. It's far better to have lots of small lower power APs within LoS, and will be the only way forward as the unlicensed band gets more and more utilized (e.g. verizon LTE potentially using it).

2) Perhaps. It is plausible (but relatively unlikely) that a neighborhood segment is already overloaded, and the intermittent wifi usage of passing-through customers increases that contention. I have no data, but I would be surprised if this was a material concern. I know I only connect to it when I absolutely need it, since it's "roaming" without the app is such a giant pita.
how often do you eat something, log into Facebook and not see an ad for that product?
I can't give you an exact number because the audio/transcripts for users are completely hidden from human eyes/ears.

Based on my own personal experience however, I would say I've gotten around 85% accuracy.
Not OP, but I tried both FF and Safari recently hoping they would reduce the footprint. FF ended up being way too slow. I stopped using Safari after a few minutes because they decided to not show favicons on tabs anymore and you can't enable it at all. How is anybody supposed to find the right one of the 15-20 tabs that are open. Insanity!

Ask HN: Will the new immigration ban push VCs to go beyond Silicon Valley?
I'm curious to see if this (crazy) immigration ban will force VC's to move outside of the Silicon Valley (USA). What do you think? They've been super lazy for decades waiting for people to come to them. It's the only "positive" thing I can think of in this mess. Expanding and investing outside of the Valley and the US.

PS: Please elaborate on the VC's thing - not the political aspect of the question! Thanks
"here is nothing wrong with a private business wining and dining a potential client to swoon and sell them something."

Yes it's called 'kickbacks' and it can be illegal or considered corruption.

If you were a CEO would you want your team buying a product because they were given $5000 tickets to the superbowl?
Nice idea. This is great for devs wanting to learn to touch type better. You could look into adding alternative layouts (DVORAK, COLEMAK, perhaps other language layouts such as German).

I have a new split keyboard (Kinesis Advantage) lying around that needs some breaking in, so I'll definitely try this.
You might call it "paranoidolia."

Hard news is indeed rare on the "news" channels -- you might be lucky to find more than 30-60 min. of it per day -- but there are some gems. My personal favorite is Special Report with Bret Baier.
While it is useful and necessary to have a spec the audience is the author who doesn't need to know or understand all the bracket and curly business. All she needs is a list of benefits and a text editor claimed to produce OpenPub format. Even the upload mechanism can be omitted.

The fake news narrative is kind of reactionary. The flaws in journalism are much more basic. As investigations cost money the level of investigation needs to be documented along with the publication. If I was to coin something like this I would make mandatory fields for Human Sources, Institutions and publications. That way the reader has at least some context.

I would also hammer out an ongoing review system that takes us beyond "author" and "publisher" with the ability to dynamically correct it self if new facts require it.
#showerthoughts: Isn't everything our senses can use as input technically noise with a probability factor attached to it as far as our brains are concerned, though? As to whether there is 1) intent behind/within the noise, making it a signal, and whether 2) we can identify, parse and interpret the meaning of said signal. Isn't even the most explicit message even in our first language/s (be it auditorial, visual, a smell, touch... taste?) noise until our brain decides it is not?

I'm just not that surprised to hear that the brain is constantly trying to interpret the inputs it gets, what else is there? Is it then that some simply have a lower threshold as to what their brains determine to be signal?

(I really don't know these things, I'm just curious)
I don't think anyone claimed that the Women's March wasn't planned before January 20th, that would be absurd. However it was still clearly a reaction to Trump's words and actions, and that doesn't require him being a sitting president first.

But it's worth noting the difference between that protest and the one at JFK, which I think it's pretty clear was a direct reaction to a specific policy created by President Trump. Using the Women's March as some sort of catch-all "haters gonna hate" dismissal of the valid concerns that many Americans have about the sitting president's actions is, to put it simply, a remarkable argument.

I have been working on a side project and need your feedback . The website is a place where you can post QA tasks ( by specifying your website/app and steps to follow ) and testers complete those tasks (on different devices) and submit reports.
On HN (ycombinator and all), perhaps it helps to point out that DSSSL, XSLT's precursor, is Scheme-based ([1]).

Not true - there is no "browbeat/hoodwinkle"ing happening. You choose to volunteer your home for any of the causes. The team has been working overnight and still hammering away to create an easy way for people to volunteer their homes specifically for this issue.
Silicon Valley is letting Trump get away with it
It's technically just 90 days, but the administration presents it as a "first step".
I use the internet and don't often encounter things I didn't expect. Usually what I see on a board, or forum, or sub-reddit etc is the material I expect to see there. Occasionally I see spam or something. Generally the community is probably capable of policing itself on most boards if you give them the tools, downvoting / flagging or something like that.

The crux of the problem is, if the internet remains free then it is also free to "fail". If you can only post lollipops and cat pictures guaranteed not to offend then the internet would contain almost nothing. Comments on such an internet would be so milquetoast as to be not worth reading in the first place.

You can already filter out almost 90% of the content you don't want to see by simply going to certain websites / forums and not others.
Most of these are by design.

Is there anybody else here who thinks that DSSSL was a nicer language than XSLT? Mind, it couldn't do most of these things either, but it was basically functional Scheme. And I'll take Scheme over... whatever XSLT is any day.
Good, these are perfect indicators that I don't want to work with these people anyway.
Taken in a vacuum, there is nothing inherently political about this poll. But being practical and taking the timing of it into account, I do think it's political. Not that there's anything wrong with it.

So... a tech would just show up at your office, ready to fix the machine? On the one hand, that is some fantastic service when you're running mission critical software. On the other hand, that must cost a whole lot of money and is quite devious of IBM.
Berkeley has been having it's coldest/rainiest weather of the year during the last week. Really heavy rain last weekend. Unlike most of the year where everyone can leave their windows open because the weather is almost always sunny and 70.

They may have had a deadly amount of CO/particulates from their laser cutter in their apt but their ventilation kept them alive. Closing their windows during last week's rain/cold spells could have been deadly. Also there is a possibility of particulate buildup in vents that could have been released if they turned on their heat in an enclosed apartment.

CO leaves you with diminished capability to bind o2, breathing in a small enclosed apt leads to a buildup of CO2. This tragedy could be a combination of CO and CO2 inhalation.
Great explanation. In other words the median number of computers performing some kind of critical task has probably gone from 90% somewhere closer to 0.

Sure the company can improve their process, but you're trusting the company to do that and do it properly - a user's relationship is still effectively rooted with one company. It's generous to call this "high", but forgive me for trying to make the point palatable to people who believe an autocratic company makes for something trustable.

A company can do things that are similar to Free software (eg allow customers to build from source), but in the context of modern discussion I'd say that's just taking on aspects of Free software.
I went through a lot of the same experimenting and found a happy home in Fedora 25. I was totally up and running with all of may various accounts setup and software installed within about 2 hours...which came as a shock.

There have been some adjustments but it's been very smooth. Adding the non-conflicted 3rd party repos suggested by Korora was a big help.
I'm not sure you're right. I read OP as already having a BS in another discipline, and considering doing a CS masters (without a BS CS first).

That's probably just about feasible, but if you want it to actually work you'll need to be or find the services of someone very familiar with the design process.

(My own design experience is a tiny corner of a Dialog Semi chip. I don't think you can do this kind of thing on your own, but with the right startup team and market you might be able to crowdfund it.)
Learn 3. There is no point in learning a legacy system unless you need to support a legacy project. Even then start with 3 then learn the couple of things you need to do to support the older system.
How do GANs intuitively work?
Yes, a lot of people have been working overnight and still working hard on putting out a slightly different way to volunteer for this service. As you point out it obviously has different challenges and opportunities than a natural disaster. We're working with organizations on the ground helping folks already to identify where we can help most. There's also work to prevent the inevitable attempts at abusing this system. And finally there's also work being done to try to help folks in areas we might not have any or enough volunteer hosts.
Ask HN: Learn JS, react, etc or Elm
I started working on a POC for a start up idea we had. However, most of my experience is with Java development and very little front end development.

My initial plan was to use react for web front end. There a few reasons why I was choose react/redux. The final product would need a solid JSON API for mobile apps and an IoT type device. A SPA for the web lets me reuse the same API for all the interfaces. This POC also requires a decent about of data visualization and there seems to be a number of good data visualization components being built for react. Finally, react native could make build mobile apps easier.

The problem is that my lack of web development experience is really making react development hard. I decided to actually learn the basics to get a better foundation to build on. But the number of basics I need to learn seems huge as a dive deeper. ES5, then ES6, HTML5, CSS, SCSS, React, Redux, webpack, flow, etc. Also, I dislike javascript so I am not sure if I want to do all the development in javascript.

Something like Elm seems complicated but if I mostly just need to learn Elm it seems more straightforward. Should try to learn Elm instead? Will I still need to learn as much web basics as with React? Is the number of library and online resources big enough?

I always wanted to have a text-to-speech system that could generate novel accents, by taking just a couple parts of the IPA at a time and substituting other sounds.

Text-to-IPA might be easy enough with dictionaries, the swapping is trivial, but IPA-to-speech seems like a harder problem.
I don't think that Linux on a Macbook will be problematic; I've been running Arch on mine for the past 2.5 years, and it's been mostly great.

And I really enjoy the up-to-date nature of Arch compared to Debian distros; I don't look back fondly upon the trouble I had to go through to use new packages with Ubuntu back in the day.
> A Long Term Support (LTS) release makes sense for servers but for a desktop I think it’s the wrong choice.

LTS releases make sense for plenty of desktop use cases: enterprise/education SOEs; kiosks; non-technical users; even developer workstations in some cases.
This issue has been fixed for good. If you need uptime, then virtualization is good enough. You can migrate VMs to other hosts on moment notice. As long as the failure isn't sudden, then you probably have enough time to migrate the VM elsewhere. Good servers, workstations and UPS have enough monitoring to warn you.
Difficult to see how this comment, as common as it is, is anything but unscientific. Biological systems are often highly predictable in many circumstances - in fact "biological predictability" is what accounts for the general success of all modern medicine and agriculture.

If the field "cannot begin to claim we don't fully understand" things now, when do we reach the point where we suddenly "know enough to begin to do things", and why should we be listening to you about that point instead of experts in the field?

The reality is that this system is highly predictable in the way it was intended, and the changes made are understood extremely well at a molecule and cellular level. You can't come up with a specific concern with this system because you don't have a clue about it. Anyone who does cannot come up with a specific concern of this system because it is extremely predictable.

This anti-scientific Taleb-esque argument is just used by people who have no idea what they're talking about to try and speak over those who do, and is anti-intellectual and anti-scientific to its core. The OP's comment holds very well- this is no different from a layperson worrying about someone implementing an SVM on some dataset "becoming skynet, because computers aren't always predictable!" - it's nonsensical the minute you have any idea what you're talking about.
Latest approaches that guarantee data security and safe authentication

You're cherry-picking one quote from Giuliani rather than looking at the larger conversation he had during the Fox News interview. And then shifting the discussion to Obama.

The fact that people didn't protest more about Obama is a separate argument. The fact that Bush invaded Iraq is a separate argument. The fact that the US supported the mujahideen during the Soviet Afghan war is a separate argument. The fact that the US helped overthrow the Iranian government and install the Shah in 1953 is a separate argument. The fact that European powers divvied up the Middle East following World War I is a separate argument. Want to go back to the Crusades? Abraham?

Or you can tie them all together. They're all ultimately related. Which do you want? Where do you want to draw the line? What do you want to take responsibility for? Drawing in all manner of related topics doesn't help us move forward. I don't think any of that is useful.

What people are discussing now, today, is Trump's Executive Order, and what to do about it now.
I love the idea of that, but it also means no security patches for that same period of time. I'd be weary of placing that host in any network with publicly-routable hosts.

Here’s how you use phones to learn programming when you don’t have a desktop
Learn 3 but also know 2. They're not that different: the concepts and ethos is the same, the APIs have been shuffled, some lower-level details are different, and in 3 text strings and byte sequences are domain-separated.

You can examine the docs [1] or source for Six, a compatibility shim. Whether or not you choose to use Six in your code -- adding another dependency -- a quick glean of the docs should familiarize you with how the two versions are different.

What I find interesting in the culture series is how they talk about lesser AI being used by more powerful AI. I view this as being similar to what we have with Siri etc.
Most programs you write use only a segment of the libraries you dep. Closure DCE is really, really good when it has type knowledge. Kills branches, inlines code, etc. It blows anything else in the javascript ecosystem out of the water in that regard (which is important if you're using Closure libraries, because the Closure libraries are massive without DCE).

That said, these days I wouldn't use Closure raw. The tooling is just awful, years out of date. ClojureScript doesn't have that issue though. It gets all the benefits without the crappy tooling.
+1 for fedora. I have been using it for years. I have never been a big fan of doing the kind of tinkering arch and some of these other linux distributions require for getting work done.
Driver/hardware wise I personally haven't had problems with fedora. I tend to buy asus and lenovo for those who are curious.

Hardware aside,fedora strikes the right balance between control and easy to use for me.

I also don't have high end requirements for my text editor though. I'm a java/c++ guy who uses commercial IDEs.

At the same time I like that nvidia and others more or less "acknowledge" fedora exists and publishes drivers and rpms for most things.

That being said, DNF also works well enough for me. I haven't had to build anything from source.

I have tried macs, lived in SF for a few years surrounded by them, had colleagues who used them, and just never understood the appeal. I tried it once and just didn't feel the need to switch.

Macs feel over priced and don't really get upgraded.

For those who buy in to the whole apple ecosystem (including development) I could understand why you would do it though. I don't do mobile development though. Much of my experience is definitely specific but I think broad enough to match a certain kind of audience that might use macs but be on the "fringes" of the ecosystem without doing iphone development and the like.
