For me it underscores one simple rule: you backups are useless if you don't regularly practice restoring from them.
That's already improving, though. I see lots of on-street charging points being installed here in London. Still not quite as convenient as having your own home charger, but certainly viable.
That's a pretty incriminating statement, do you have any proof?
Yep! I just haven't explored the options much since tokio matured more (I was at the hack night last fall for it and was very excited, but haven't tried it in the last couple of months) or since rocket was announced.
Assuming you're not converting some dense residential zoned area into a garden and no one moves away due to their dislike of hydroponics, I don't think it's going to tangibly effect traffic rates which are show to fluctuate based on availability. Ie. after reaching a certain point of urban density; if you increase the availability of the road (by widening it for example), you'll increase the number of people driving such that the availability is reduced again.

If you want to reduce traffic and co2 further while increasing livable, walkable space in dense urban areas - then that can be accomplished by reducing the width of the roads.

You can use an x-macro:

// cmds.def
X(1)
X(2)
X(3)
X(4)
#undef X

// elsewhere.h
enum {
#define X(x) CMD##x = x - 1,
#include "cmds.def"
END_CMD
};

Or a higher-order macro:

#define CMD_LIST(X) X(1) X(2) X(3) X(4)

enum {
#define CMD(x) CMD##x = x - 1,
CMD_LIST(CMD)
#undef CMD
END_CMD

How WhatsApp is fighting spam after its encryption rollout
This strikes me as an example of everything in the system working.

-GAO analyzes SpaceX processes and discovers a shortcoming
-Media reports on this to create public awareness
-SpaceX is compelled to respond and fix the problem (something their engineers were probably already aware of anyway)
-Space Travel continues to move safely forward

This is quite refreshing from other government initiatives at the moment.

Polytechnics?

Same here, a couple years back I decided the effort needed to build linux up was less than the effort to tear OS X, Windows down. The end state is a little more customized to my prefs too.
Cost reduction of existing battery technology is all that's needed to make batteries widely useful for grid energy storage. No new chemistry needed, just economies of scale.

This is happening in CA [1] and elsewhere. The trend will enable renewable energy sources like wind and solar to meet larger portions of total electrical demand.

That will cut into coal's power generation market share. Probably pretty rapidly.

Considering the animated discussions from a wide variety of positions, I'm not seeing what you are. I do see strong bias against overly aggressive and uncivil behavior. I also see a few members who have a hard time seeing beyond their own bias. It's natural to be more aware of behavior against your own "side". It's just one of our cognitive biases we need to be aware of and guard against.

Comment and submission data is available via the HN APIs. Put together an analysis and share your methodology and results. Regardless of your findings, I know I'd be interested in seeing them. I'm sure a lot of other HN members would be, too.
So they hit $400m of revenue in 2016 and have committed to spend at least that much on infrastructure each year for the next 5 years? After all the costs for staffing and everything else they better I hope they achieve amazing growth if they ever intend to profit.
Firefox OS should have competed against Chrome OS, not Android and iOS.

Chrome OS is the perfect OS for the masses; lightweight, very secure and stable. A lot of things that used to require dedicated apps can be done in the browser now. Chromebooks are also great machines for schools, much more practical than iPads (in my opinion) and very easy to manage. Mozilla missed the boat.
> It seemed to me to create an install package for a piece of software, the process (according to the docs) was to install the software "manually" and keep track of where everything goes. Then, once you have done that (and the software is running fine), you are supposed to create your package manifesto (or whatever it was called) that tells the system how to install it, then take all the parts and bundle them up (as a compressed file of some sort) with that manifesto. Oh - and then manually "uninstall" your software you installed, then use your new package to re-install your now-packaged proprietary software.

This might be technically correct (not completely sure), but hugely misleading. Packages are defined by PKGBUILD scripts. When you run `makepkg` to create a package, it creates a directory called $pkgdir. In your PKGBUILD, you just delegate to whatever installer came with the source code & tell it to install into $pkgdir. e.g. `make install --prefix=$pkgdir`. makepkg takes all the files in $pkgdir and tars them and bam - there's your package.

If you look in most PKGBUILDs, they contain some metadata (where to get the sources, etc), and then it's more or less:

build() {
cd "$srcdir" && make
}
package() {
cd "$srcdir" && make install --prefix="$pkgdir"
}

That's all you need for quite a few packages.

Sure, but what do you do if your migration requires merging rows of existing data?

You can't rewrite the pointers to the merged rows while the application is online.

I've seen this done for less nefarious reasons, whereby a company will keep advertising for positions, but just not hire anyone. This is because not advertising jobs is a strong negative signal that business is in trouble.
This makes no sense. One cannot spend $33M a month on Google Cloud. (Remember that it's half the price of AWS, and given a contract of that magnitude it's possible that they negotiated yet another half off).

The amount of hardware and services one would get for that bill is insane. Snapchat doesn't need that much computing power and storage.
the Trumpmind is always looking for what sounds virtuous and popular. but that varies depending on the audience. and audiences change from hour to hour. so he's constantly contradicting himself based on his most recent audience.

one hour he's talking to some heavyweights from the energy industry. the next it's some heavyweights from the war industry. then it's some heavyweights in the legal profession. then it's an expert in terrorism. and their opinions all differ somewhat. Trumpmind soaks it all in and regurgitates it.

he's an actor -- always eager to please the audience with an outrageous performance.

Sylvester Stallone should cast him in one his righteous ass-kicking mercenary movies. then Trump could go on screen and terminate Arnold. the ratings would be sky high!!!

Expert on Cloud Computing here. Short answer is "No". Here is why. Google Cloud has infrastructure that scales to petabytes of data and millions of users. Google primary uses this infrastructure for storing, processing and communicating the Internet. Add the services like Pub/Sub, Dataflow, BigQuery, TensorFlow & CloudML and things like security, communication backbone, ... its near impossible to build Google Cloud or even few critical components like the ones mentioned above with 2 billion dollars. Also, if they focus on building infrastructure, it might slow them down significantly. They are better off building their chat platform rather than building the infrastructure.

I too think the people angry with Musk for being on Trump's advisory council are being short sighted. Simply backing out of it solves nothing. Where he is now, he has a way better chance of effecting positive change than he does on the complete outside.

Keep your friends closer, and enemies closer. Isn't that what they say?

I think that Musk/et al are right where they need to be.
GetSwift | Melbourne, Australia | ONSITE | FULLTIME

GetSwift is a logistics software company that's just listed on the ASX. We're looking to grow our small team to keep up with our huge growth and international expansion.

As an early-stage employee, you'll have a big impact on the architecture of our product, which includes real-time vehicle routing & dispatching, data analytics/ modelling, and complex SPAs. Our stack is primarily .NET, Angular, React/Redux, AWS, but we're moving toward an event-driven microservices architecture, using Kafka/Kubernetes/Haskell/React.

We're hiring at all levels of the stack, but we'd be particularly interested in full-stack engineers. Bonus points for:

• The ability to code in a variety of languages, particularly of the functional flavour

• Data science skills (R/ Pandas etc, solid stats background)

• Devops, containers, Kubernetes, aws

• Familiarity with any parts of our stack

We are also hiring UX designers to revamp the UX of our rather complex product.

For engineers, our interview process consists of a short code test (if you don't have any publicly accessible code for us to look at), and a technical interview in our Collins St office, 1-2 hours. After that, we'll be in touch within about a week.

For UX designers, if we're happy with your portfolio, we'll give you some paid work to see if we're a mutual fit.

Email me (joash at getswift dot co), prefixing the subject with "HN:". Include anything you think will show off your skills!

When a company does something dilutive (or anti-dilutive) then previous metrics are recalculated (split adjusted) for comparison. Also, as someone else mentions, EPS in its own right is meaningless. P/E ratios are a more common (albeit flawed) way to compare companies' relative valuations.
Nice, thanks for the reply, it never occurred to me to do it that way :)
Preventing unsigned code from running, and choosing which sources of software you do want to trust, is not just for DRM. It severely reduces the attack surface of a device and makes it much harder for user error to cause a compromise. Accidentally getting compromised is possible for advanced users, let alone the most tech-illiterate person in the company.

iOS being totally locked down in this way is no small part of why exploits for that platform sell for so much more money than exploits for other platforms. Of course, it is also used for DRM on that platform.
Back of the envelope calculation for the U.S.: Using the national average gas tax of 48¢/gal, if you were to charge an electric vehicle an equivalent of what, say, a 30 mpg vehicle would pay per mile, it'd be 1.5¢/mile, or $150/yr for a vehicle that does 10,000 miles a year. I don't think that's really a huge change to the overall economics either way, though it could push some marginal cases from above to below breakeven.
sales led, not strategic, and it would have cannibalised their existing money printing machine. imagine if they started offering their customers PAYG elastic accounts rather than multi year mega provisioning deals - their numbers would have been destroyed

Now that Twitter is also trying to use algorithms to feed me what stories they think I will find important, it's become a lot less useful. I used to use it to follow local news and weather feeds, like the excellent National Weather Service office in Fort Worth. but after Twitter's changes, it's more likely to show me advertisements and sponsored tweets and other useless stuff instead of just doing what I want it to do, which is show me tweets in a purely chronological order.
Yeah, that seems really high. $400m a year? They're 10% of Google's yearly cloud revenue on their own? That said it's definitely what the s-1 filing claims:
"Any transition of the cloud services currently provided by Google Cloud to another cloud provider would be difficult to implement and will cause us to incur significant time and expense. We have committed to spend $2 billion with Google Cloud over the next five years and have built our software and computer systems to use computing, storage capabilities, bandwidth, and other services provided by Google, some of which do not have an alternative in the market."
> but it is concerning that there weren't similar actions on the other side.

This is just wrong, of course there were. "Grab them by the pussy." Was also a leak and was also published with political intent. (And just quietly, also demonstrated a man is an utterly foul human being whom I would cross the road to avoid.)
One way it can fail is that your model might overfit your data if number of parameters you are training are way more than data you are using for training and if regularization techniques are not used. We don't arbitrarily cut-off layers from pretrained model. We check at what layer, output features are not specific to problem for which pretrained model was trained. At this layer, you can stitch a nanonet and build a model for your data
We have not been very good at communicating how we find stories and hope to improve that :)

They're asking for nearly 2 magnitudes better safety than they could provide. Granted the space shuttle was dumb from the beginning and we'd be flying around in our flying cars and vacationing on Mars if they'd stuck with the far superior Saturn launch system.

No, successful thug behavior. Not a protest. This was a riot.

I'm ashamed of what has become of Berkeley. I'm so disappointed that this is what it's turned into.

Not everyone supports this behavior. This doesn't automatically mean support for Milo either, but rioting to silence him solves nothing. If anything, it only attracts more followers.
This makes for a great headline but fails to capture the entire picture which would include "families that are rich now and weren't before" and "families that were rich then and aren't now".

Another interesting statistic has families that were made wealthy in a short time by circumstance (lottery, judgement, IPO, etc) and are still rich, vs those that lost all of their wealth again.

It seems the best way to have the family wealth hang around is to create an institution with it that has as its mission to manage that wealth. Too much control by family members is strongly correlated with losing it all (which isn't too surprising when you think about it).

Wars and conflicts are the large redistributors of wealth. Not that it's a fun way to do so.
More like embedded postgres.
'Expanse' Co-Creator on Writing, Star Citizen, and Why He Hated Mass Effect 3
Snaps are universal Linux packages
I do tweak a few of the defaults. I use it on windows, linux and mac and they vary, so I like them consistent (linux line endings by default, 2-spaces, etc).

I agree that it's one of the best products from MS today... I keep hoping that they take this as a model and re-create SQL Management Studio as an Electron app as well (I know about the VS Code extension).

I had tried electron and brackets before VS Code, and was skeptical... other than a few learning curves in the UX, it's been great. I don't think anything compares in terms of the plugin ecosystem either (though might not quite mach sublime).
you could probably make microservices a requirement as a governance issue for this reason alone
The people who read it don't care and the people who care don't read it.
I understand how frustrating that can be. Do you have a reference at hand that busts this myth?
That's one way to spin it. I think he's more likely trying to get people to notice that Berkeley students effectively suppressed Milo's freedom of speech. By saying something controversial, it prevents the story from being buried so quickly, as the leftist MSM loves to do.
I maybe can see if we are talking about distributed across machines, runtimes with different versions or languages, but not with multi threaded. Any example?
Unfortunately Ars Technica is not even a shadow of the site it once was. It now reprints press releases and rumors like so many other tech sites.

He didn't have any clout with customers in our field and certainly didn't bring a book of business with him. In sales, your current and prospective customer list is considered IP of the company you work for. What he brought was his skills in selling SaaS B2B, which comes from experience. I don't think hiring someone with experience is normally considered a growth hack. It's probably common sense, but we were too dumb to know it.

I thought sales was just sales and if you could sell one thing, you could sell anything. What I didn't realize is that selling B2B to a small business and selling B2B to an enterprise is as different as a skill set as writing compilers and building web scale applications. It takes years to get really good at each one of those things.

I've also learned that as a founder/CEO, most of my time is spent selling. I was a software engineer for 10 years and now I pretty much spend all day every day selling. Selling investors on why they should buy 25% of my company, selling potential hires on why we are the next big thing, selling the board on our new plan, selling customers on our product and selling employees on the company vision.
I own an electric car (with a lithium ion battery) and commute daily with it.

I am, and that is exactly what I meant, even if some disagree on the phrasing. (Sorry, I wasn't an English Lit major.) Keep your friends close and enemies closer.

Arm's length is close enough to reach them but still far enough away. That's where I think the tech industry needs to keep Trump and stand firm. Otherwise, they're completely on the outside, which I don't think helps.

That graph might be more because it's not as exciting. Google searches are probably dominated by hobbyists and casually interested people. If they're not trying to achieve a specific goal, then they might prefer to work out the basics and make it themselves instead of just taking part of someone else's work and reusing it. If you were going to do that for fun, why not go the whole hog and reuse an entire pretrained network?

Personally, I'm a hobbyist and I don't want to know about these shortcuts until I start to need them - which is a stage I might never reach. People who've progressed far enough to need them are probably far fewer than those who are just curious what these words mean.

Another possibility is the words "transfer learning" might be more generally meaningful outside the ML field than the other search terms on the graph, so most of the searches for it are really schoolteachers or something else.
I always seem to be the black sheep in a group of people when I say that I love sqlite. It's seriously so handy. If I need to aggregate or parse big CSV sheets, I just toss them in a sqlite database and run actual SQL queries against the data and it makes the process much faster and I can give someone their data in relational form on a thumbdrive or in a tar.gz.
The support is ~ 10% of the bill, just like AWS.
Law tells that Free speech = hate speech in some contexts.
It is probably transfer learning has become more of a technique used for training neural network models (such as Adam being one of the most commonly used optimizer) whereas most of the excitement stems from new and/or complex neural network architectures rather than the technique or tools that made training those neural networks possible.
