Hi,
I am a master's student pursuing Mathematics & Computer Science at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur with specialization in optimization. I am also a Google Summer of Code, 2016 fellow. I will be graduating in April, 2017. I am interested in the job profile. I am attaching the link to my webpage : https://ayush-iitkgp.github.io/

Do revert back if you find me a good fit.
I am quickly coming up to my next car purchase and I am debating the one last hurrah of another convertible or to swap over to an EV. I am still not convinced of the value of the current generation of EVs (200+ mile range only) and don't consider any of the sub 200 viable automobiles.

This might be the first time I consider a lease. I have seen what happens to current and previous generation EVs and unless you just plan to keep it you will get soaked. I also would like to see more movement on availability of charging outside of home.
Up-vote for the better explanation - but you basically stated what I did as well (but mine was a guess - a correct educated guess, but still a guess)...

I think your's wins!
> I may be wrong but don't both sides get to choose the jury?

For what it's worth, based on my expert knowledge (I once was summoned for jury duty, but was not needed), neither side gets to choose anyone, only to exercise a limited number of dismissals. That is, they can only decide 'no' (a certain number of times), not (except indirectly) 'yes'. Thus this:

> the jury is made up of a group of people that both sides want making the decision.

is more like "the jury is made up of a group of people who were judged least likely to make an undesireable decision", which I think is meaningfully different.
Isn't it a bit unreasonable to just assume that people on that board will have enough actual influence? I know what you said is said often, but it seems to rely on a pretty big assumption there.

Unless HN is changing its standards, and I wouldn't like to see that, then this shouldn't be flagged.

If you didn't see it, there was another email sent out that discusses this and other issues with the Git mark [0]

The trademark policy can be found at [1]

A few quotes to summarise:

----

We approached Conservancy in Feb 2013 about getting a trademark on Git to ensure that anything calling itself "Git" remained interoperable with Git.

While the original idea was to prevent people from forking the software, breaking compatibility, and still calling it Git, the policy covers several other cases.

One is that you can't imply successorship. So you also can't fork the software, call it "Git++", and then tell everybody your implementation is the next big thing.

Another is that you can't use the mark in a way that implies association with or endorsement by the Git project. To some degree this is necessary to prevent dilution of the mark for other uses, but there are also cases we directly want to prevent.

The USPTO initially rejected our application as confusingly similar to the existing trademark on GitHub, which was filed in 2008. While one might imagine where the "Git" in GitHub comes from, by the time we applied to the USPTO, both marks had been widely used in parallel for years. So we worked out an agreement with GitHub which basically says "we are mutually OK with the other trademark existing".

So GitHub is essentially outside the scope of the trademark policy, due to the history. We also decided to explicitly grandfather some major projects that were using similar portmanteaus, but which had generally been good citizens of the Git ecosystem (building on Git in a useful way, not breaking compatibility). Those include GitLab, JGit, libgit2, and some others. The reasoning was generally that it would be a big pain for those projects, which have established their own brands, to have to switch names. It's hard to hold them responsible for picking a name that violated a policy that didn't yet exist.

----

I too have come across the Git/GitHub confusion far too many times, and it is extremely unfortunate.

The worst aspect in my opinion is that because of this confusion a lot of the beauty and utility of Git, as a truly distributed version control system, is missed or not understood; it's assumed that using Git is the same thing as storing your code on a specific hosted service.

That said I think the Git Project Leadership Committee is doing a fantastic job and have never had cause to question any of the decisions they've made nor the direction they seem to be taking the project, in this issue and others.

Here's a quick one if your filesystem supports hard links:

#!/bin/ksh

typeset -A hashes

find . -type f -exec shasum -a 512 {} \; |
while read hash filename; do
if [[ -z ${hashes[$hash]} ]]; then
hashes[$hash]="$filename"
else
echo ln -f "'${hashes[$hash]}'" "'$filename'"
fi
done

Pipe to /bin/sh if you're happy with the results.
Do you really think a peripheral advisory council is "Trump's sphere of influence?" Trump isn't even consistently listening to people in his own executive branch.
Thanks! I wasn't able to figure out if it really was directly equivalent. (Thanks also to sibling comment pointing out Mouser has the same.)
This post has more top-level comments criticizing the decision, so I guess it stays.
Both. Overselling has been common for 20 years and leads to congestion when customers exceed the percentage of their likely bandwidth usage as estimated by the company.
The iPhone 4 is the newest iPhone to not get iOS 8. That's going all the way back to a phone released in 2010, nearly 7 years ago. There are definitely a few out there but I'm not sure it'd be more than half running <= iOS 7, especially when you consider how strong Apple's update numbers are.

In fact, according to a marketing company, as of March last year, only 37% of globally active iPhones were even as old as a 5S [1]. Even the iPhone 4S, which did get iOS 8, was on just 5%.

Even if that data is skewed towards newer phones due to the type of sites they market on, it's unlikely that anywhere near half of active devices are running a software version over three years old.

Also, the App Store offers you the last compatible version of the app if your device isn't up to date, and it's possible that that version of Snapchat is still capable of showing ads, although I don't have one around to test it.

> The younger generation seems to have abandoned the cherished principle of free speech. What else should Thiel (or any of us who disagree with these antifa criminals) be considering? Should it be violence first?

No it shouldn't be and its not. Please don't hold an entire generation or an entire section of people responsible for the actions of a few. It is the same mistake many people make when they associate Islam with terrorism.

And to answer your first question: you were pointing out the irrelevancy of this as news. I am pointing out why its relevant and you seem to have agreed on that as well. Let's not go on a tangent.
Does anyone know here the Business Advisory Council's homepage is? I looked around with no luck.

I'd like to know who else is on it. Elon Musk is one, but who else?
I want you to benefit from my work only if I also benefit from your work. If you seek an unfair advantage over me, I will not cooperate.
I'm not what the point is, given there are probably hundreds of bugs that somebody would say "This is the #1 worst bug in Windows 10." But for me, this is the #1 worst bug in Windows 10.

It looks very LGPL-like in spirit. It's hard to know if you can use it in something commercial or not, though. The pessimistic interpretation is that if you use it your software becomes a "derived work" of the library, in the same way your Harry Potter fan fiction is a derived work of Harry Potter. You probably don't want your commercial software under this license because it commits you to (among other things) granting royalty-free licenses to all patents, and settling all court cases in the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice.

The optimistic assumption is that no, that would never happen, your product will not be a derived work because using the library with it is "mere aggregation." But the license doens't clearly spell out what is a dervied work and what is not-- there is not even the discussion of mere aggregation that the GPL has.

The license also has the "death penalty" clause that the GPL does, which means that your license to use it can be permanently terminated if you are found to have violated any part of it.

So basically, I would say, stay away. And people in open source projects should stay away too, for the same reasons... you don't want this fighting it out with the existing open source license of your project.
What if you do an on-prem SAS deployment? Think that counts.

I took this to be a general call to learn and practice mathematics, and not as a summons to a career in academia, so perhaps I'm seeing it a bit differently.

I have to say as somebody who through attrition always feared math in university that it is meaningful to think about reasons why people fear embracing certain types of knowledge. It's only after the fact that I realize how useful and even how romantic applications of mathematics might be.

I might never be a starry-eyed or an often-drunk academic, but I've grown to really see my initial lack of mathematical learning to be an immensely high opportunity cost. So I can relate to anybody who thinks of structural reasons people might shy away from math and indeed all forms of intimidating knowledge.

I think the difference here is that numpy is not flaunting its speed as a benefit of using python. They are very open that they were bringing the performance of BLAS and LAPACK to python.

This is a facile argument. The "cut N regulations for every K new regulations" has been a Republican trope for decades; Romney used it in 2012. Virtually none of Trump's appointees are within 6 degrees of Thiel.
What is the environmental impact of EV car batteries? Making them and recycling them? When we have a billion EV's and batteries in every home with solar, will we have a problem?
The dual control panels are ridiculous. I shouldn't have to go through two totally different interfaces just to change the mouse pointer speed. Type 'mouse' in the start menu, click the result, option isn't there, click 'Additional mouse options', totally different interface appears, go to the Pointer Options tab, drag the slider.

And I know this one has been done to death, but the privacy issue really is a major one - it seems to have expanded so much since the Win 7 days. There are several pages of scary privacy things to untick when installing Win 10, and then some optional ones are still enabled after you untick everything, so you've then got 16 (sixteen!) pages of privacy options in the control panel to check after install.
I didn't say stupid. He's good at generating publicity and to a degree, being a demagogue (though that isn't going well so far). The reality of Trump's actions and words is far more convincing than the parent comment's theoretical analysis.

Oh freck, that was a first thing I thought - finally native pass on Windows. When I came in the docs to the mount land I stopped hopping.

Being that mount is needed for just one feature that I can totally live without, what are the other obastacles to proper x-platform solution ? AFAIK all other deps are available on native Windows (not cygwin or ubuntu4win).

I will definitivelly try to see if it works.
I'm happy to share how on a private message. But the answer to your question is yes.
This childish "us vs them" attitude is not healthy.

You know, sometimes in life, when dealing with certain forces of chaos and disruption, which can be safely categorized as entirely malignant, e.g. the Mafia, the Khmer Rouge, ISIS... or a certain mentally imbalanced fascist demagogue currently masquerading a the leader of the free world -- you just need take a clear stand, and call a spade a spade. Which you can call an "Us v. Them" attitude, if you like.

But calling people who recognize this fact "childish" isn't helpful at all.
So... how long these batteries last? What about enviromental effect related to their recycling? That information is interesting.
Totally disagree with this. Voice can be good, but exit can be the right choice for many situations. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exit,_Voice,_and_Loyalty
I feel like S1 filings are always brutally honest like this. I believe it's a legal thing, they are afraid of future suits.
I too tried to do some searching for "gyroscope" after you called my little app a "blatant rip off". I found absolutely nothing, so thanks to others for adding some links.

I guess everything is a matter of perspective.
> I have used lz4 compression as it has high performance and data deduplication dedup=on to save space.

Nice writeup but IMHO it's wrong to assume enabling dedup will make sense under any circumstance, especially regarding the performance drawbacks on systems that can't handle it. It might deserve a little more consideration than just setting it on by default in a somewhat copy-pasteable command. Oracle published a nifty guide on how to proceed with dedup:

There are contributors to ghc who add features or fix bugs with "industry use" in mind.

So your statement in its current form is a bit confusing to me.

Can you elaborate?

Trump is a despicable person trying to do despicable things. Helping him to limp along marginally less disastrously would be a shallow, short-term palliative benefit.

Our long-term prospects are better if we stumble for 4 years and prove that flushing out competent but flawed public servants, who believe in and preserve the principles of our system, and replacing them with reality TV hosts is not an improvement.

This is an inflection point in history that will inform future generations whether winning an election with lying, demagoguery, and appeal to fear is a winning long-term strategy or a losing one.
I stayed up working until 5 am (I was on a roll). Should I be afraid of driving now? I'm not tired at all.

That begs the question: There is no credible evidence that anything happened, just an Internet rant. Is there something more reliable?

> they are forced to work for cash-in-hand payment and don't have social security numbers

Seriously? Do you really think needing an SSN is a barrier to employment these days? Aside from the fact that I'm sure uber would take a ITIN, it is not at all unheard of for 'undocumented immigrants' to 'borrow' SSNs from unwitting citizens. In fact, many times this isn't even a problem for the legitimate holder of the SSN.

Plus, these days you don't need to have immigrated to the US legally at all to get a driver's license*

Now, that said I doubt very much that Uber relies on such employees - I just think saying it can't happen is ridiculous.

That's what regularization is for. You probably know that too, so pretend that was just for the benefit of the onlookers.
You're right. I converted the Line Corp yen revenue number to USD, but looks like I missed a zero. Line has a market cap of $7bn, and does $1bn in revenue.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they legally required to disclose this kind of information? Couldn't it could be considered misleading investors otherwise?
You seem to believe Thiel is an important mover in the Trump administration. But there's very little evidence that's the case; it's the sort of thing it seems to me one could only come to believe if their only source of political news was places like Hacker News. Reality's Trump administration is governed by Priebus and the GOP establishment on the one hand, and Bannon's clownshow on the other.

I haven't read a story about Thiel's influence other than the fact that Trump made a fool out of him by enacting exactly the policy on immigration restriction that Thiel said wouldn't happen when he said people should Trump "seriously but not literally".

It seems to turn out that Thiel wasn't anywhere nearly as influential as he thought he was.
Leases are definitely looking more attractive. You could also consider that the battery is an expendable component that you'll be able to upgrade separately to the chassis once the tech improves anyway.

Personally I think software upgradability is the most important criteria, which means either Tesla or lease and let someone else deal with rapid obsolescence.
> Nope... impeachment... Lotsa work to do... No non-violent resistance that has mobilized more than 3.5% of the population has failed in the last 100-ish years. On Jan 21st 1-1.5% of the US population participated.

While there certainly was a large anti-Trump sentiment at the Woman's March, there were a plethora of issues that brought all those people together. To imply that all who participated want a Trump impeachment is not accurate.
Your interpretation: data is "next to useless". Plaintiff's expensive lawyer interpretation: "clear, decisive and overwhelming". Hope you have a good lawyer too.

I know I'm being cynical when I say this is 2017 and facts don't matter. Yet here we are.
These kinds of councils have nearly no influence; they're photo ops. But leaving does signal that Silicon Valley $ isn't going to play along with Trump, which Republican Members of Congress are going to care a lot about as they think about how to raise money in the future.
Personally, I'd sell immediately. I don't trust tech stocks; they're consumer discretionaries (or media stocks?) but more volatile, and any one of them could suffer the fate of Sun or Iomega at any time. If you gamble and win, you can make a fortune, but if you gamble you're more likely to lose; there are more reliable profits to be made elsewhere.

(But I don't short any tech stocks, even though they don't normally pay dividends; all you have to do is short the next Microsoft once, and then you're selling your house a decade down the line. I prefer to let other people do the gambling, in both directions, while I look for safer things. Similarly, I have no exposure to biotech, the other gambling part of the market.)

Smart guy. Copyleft for the open source crowd to use freely, commercial license for businesses who want to keep their own source closed.

I wonder where you get a good commercial license to use like this. Is it always a custom thing requiring expensive lawyers or is there some repo of commercial licenses one can use?
Well that will depend on what are the materials they are being built with when that happens.

The materials being used presently won't scale to such big numbers as you purpose, so it will all depend on the alternative materials being used by then.
No, the 90 day suspension is on travel, not immigration. Green card holders and dual citizens can enter the US freely (now that the botched implementation details have been cleared up).

I don't support the travel ban, but I also don't support the rampant mis-characterization of it in the media and here on HN.
So Snapchat is basically ~80% (or more) of the entire Google's cloud business (if exclude G Suite from the Google's cloud).
Could you clarify why you would consider? I started using Lyft after the taxi situation in NY (At the request of some immigrant friends) and have noticed absolutely no reason to switch back to Uber. The price is on par, the service is on par, the app in general is on par (In San Francisco, where I use ride-sharing around ~5-10 times a week). I guess I don't see a reason to switch back, which I'm hoping you can clarify?
