This combined with the fact that they now demand access to your facebook account on entry means I'm scared to post anti trump comments online. I need to travel between my birth country and my new home in the USA regularly. If I get a pro-trump homeland security agent (and it seems many of them are) scanning my phone. I fear I might be denied re-entry despite having a valid work visa.

I guess we'll be seeing more and more of this in the near future. I and other non citizens are now silenced. A few more laws like this to silence a few other anti-trmup groups and the USA will slowly creep into totalitarianism for fear of losing everything they have.

I'm just glad my birth country is Australia and I can happily return there before it gets really bad in the USA. The biggest problem I'm having is where shall I draw the line where I pack up my life here and return.
Where did I make that assumption?

Limiting selection to within degree holders very well may be irrational, but that's not what we are talking about. We're talking about the ability to fill the jobs that need to be filled. Since, as you claim, they have no need to look beyond those with degrees, then we know fundamentally that they already have every single person they need. That's basic arithmetic.

Again, what does adding another person with a degree bring?
Probably the upside down t-shaped graph of expertise, where you know a lot about one topic and a little about everything else. I believe this happens sort of naturally if you just work where you're needed because you'll get pigeonholed as the person who can do X whenever it needs to be done, then you can branch out when X is finished. I'm not sure because I'm still pretty junior myself.

You get a similar effect from repeatedly reading hn, because you'll read articles on topics you know about and then branch out when you're bored of it.
It is indeed incredibly unlikely that someone needing a pixel art editor wouldn't want save, I agree with you completely, and I bet @jasonkostempski does too. But that doesn't invalidate what @jasonkostempski said. The question "why would you create/edit anything if you can't save it?" was taken literally. @Simpliplant didn't qualify people using pixel art editors, the question said why would you do anything if you couldn't save. As it turns out, people do that all the time. Just not with pixel art editors.
> will Elon's web of companies come crashing down when progress on the self-driving front starts to falter?

Are you confusing Tesla with Uber? Uber needs self-driving cars to justify its valuation. Tesla doesn't. It just needs production volume. If anything, very near-term self-driving cars might be bad for Tesla because it would reduce aggregate demand for cars.
very true in this case, because Elon is a once-in-a-generation, perhaps even once-in-a-century type of person. On the other hand, if he keeps going at this pace for another 15 years, there is a very good chance that Tesla will be the most valuable company in the world. That's the whole risk/reward situation with Tesla, if he dies or loses his abilities with older age, shit hits the fan, otherwise you got a 20-bagger in your hand if you wait 15 years.

You're comparing Ms. Fox to a child; I would say that counts as an insult. Furthermore, "not being able to manage your life" is not the same thing as "not needing welfare". Needing and getting help is not the same thing as being incompetent.

Yes, and this is in fact mentioned in the article, albeit in a single sentence.
Hi HN, repository author here.

I was interested in sentiment analysis, so I read a lot surveys, papers; and researched what implementations are available. I thought it would be beneficial for the community to have a list of useful resources, serving as a good starting point.

The goal of this repository is to provide adequate links for scholars who want to research in this domain; and at the same time, be sufficiently accessible for developers who want to integrate sentiment analysis into their applications.

Experts in sentiment analysis and opnion mining, please don't hesitate to criticize this work :)
Wall Street really doesn't like companies doing things with a promised payoff beyond the present fiscal year. That's what they're doing at TSLA. Sure, a lot of it ("Gigafactories!!!!!") is ego driven, not economy-of-scale driven. But they will need the manufacturing capacity as electric storage becomes more common.

Don't forget, TSLA is an energy company. Their present products have wheels because rich dopes like me will spend money on them, and because there's some low-hanging fruit in transportation energy in this decade (not this fiscal year).

But long term their products are going to be as ubiquitous as household electric meters and just as boring.

If I had a bunch of shares of TSLA and a kid entering college, I might sell some of them at the present price. But that doesn't make them a bad investment.

>Right. The only thing C had going for it was that it was the fastest non-assembly language.

Not really. C has lots of existing code, lots of developers who know it, and for many platforms it is the only language for which you'll find a compiler. As a language it is a trainwreck, but it does have a sizeable moat.

> They take 20 highly non-linear climate models, assume normal distribution of the results per-year (think about that for 5 seconds), and come up with confidence intervals.

Like I say, "stunning". Thank you for following up - I'll be sure to follow up your links etc. at the next possible opportunity.

I'm still wedded to the notion that climate change, global warming etc. "is" real, and caused by human activity, but I'm very much open to scepticism about how science is deployed day to day.

EDIT

I don't think it's fair to describe climate science as being "in the humanities" just because it can't have the same precision as physics. It is still concerned with the empirical gathering and analysis of information. Perhaps it is going beyond its capabilities, similarly to economics (hence my comparison there) but like economics it does still does possess a great degree of predictive power and pedagogical value.
Precisely. ISIS is actually far less of a factor in the overall shape of Syria than they are in Iraq.

Is Electron newsworthy? Sure. At the same time there's vastly more paid Qt devs than Electron devs at this time, and more apps by orders of magnitude, including many with millions of users, and big new ones every week. Along with many application domains Electron isn't even an option in. But you wouldn't know it from HN coverage.

I'm happy to argue my own points but you misrepresenting them into strawmen isn't productive.
That bias graph is made assuming you are picking numbers between 0 and 32768. With a 64-bit hash the bias is negligible. With a 32-bit hash I suppose you could argue significance around 100 million items.

I think the text is clear that the reason the hash table supports power of two size tables is to avoid the modulo operation.
> (though they were built specifically for the Note 7, like any phone battery nowadays)

Samsung requested a battery with the design of the phone in mind. That design was faulty. Under normal operation the electrodes would expand and due to the design of the electrodes and the faulty separators, there was a fire.

The slimness/design of the phone necessitated a battery design which was faulty. I'm not saying that the battery literally had no extra room. There was no extra room without causing a short circuit and fire.
Wow, that shrinking time spent at each company is the interesting part. It almost seems like a dawning realization that it pays big to keep moving. I wonder if it reflects a larger trend, and if so, what does this flux mean for the future of the job market?
We've been expecting this question all day long.

As fate has it, we have no connection to FB's Prophet - we at Whitesmith have been working on unplugg for some time now and decided a few weeks ago that this week we'd share it on some communities to have more people testing it and more feedback. It seems that the folks over at Facebook decided something similar. You know what they say, great minds :p

Joking aside, as intimidating as it might have been to see FB releasing a related tool, we feel that we still fill a different segment. From what I've been reading today, Prophet is a tool tailored for timeseries forecasting with human interaction and input in mind - it can work like a black forecasting box but it seems that it is the most useful when paired with an analyst that can keep looking at the output and tweak the model accordingly. It is _really friendly_ as far as forecasting packages go and trust me, we looked at a fair amount of them. That and the use of ProbProgramming to infer their params is just awesome (I'm a fervent Bayesian at heart).

Unplugg on the other hand, fills the need for a "generic" forecasting tool for uses where you don't want/need much specific tailoring and want a really Plug&Play solution - it's an API that you can call from pretty much everywhere, with no dependencies or specific environments needed (so no need to deploy your own R/Python/Matlab - yikes - environment where your models live and run). One possible use case would be an energy monitoring portal that lives completely client-side and requests forecasts to our API on-the-fly directly from the client.

We are still actively developing and testing different forecasting models - the one running is just the one we feel most confident about - and will be looking at Prophet as a possible alternative (although I haven't seen their license carefully, so can't be sure).
We have a really small sample size and forever is a long time.
We have a lot of the same type of evidence for dark matter that we have for black holes: strange movement of distant luminous bodies. We've never directly observed either. (With light, anyway. I suppose the gravity wave observatory could be said to have directly observed black holes.)

And like dark matter, black holes point out shortcomings in our theories--they are ground zero for the incompatibility between general relativity and quantum mechanics.

And yet, even though we don't fully understand them, there is not much public doubt that black holes really exist. To the contrary: they are quite popular!

I'm not arguing that just because we think black holes exist, therefore dark matter must also exist. That's bad logic. I'm just pointing out that a lot of the popular concerns with dark matter are not unique to dark matter.

Nothing will ever be truly zero cost, but those costs can be minimal.

A geothermal system for your house involves "transporting energy to your home" but the distances involved are so minimal that once installed it's next to nothing.

> Since placing your home next to a large temperature differential is difficult...

Well, that's wrong. Every house sits on top of a significant temperature differential which is why geothermal systems work. In large parts of the continental US the ground deep beneath the house maintains a consistent temperature year round. This can be used as a thermal sink in the summer, and a source of heat in the winter.

If you had multiple points of data, say street view from around the time of the last census, and an updated street view within the last few months. Could you not infer changes in the demographics? With some level of significance?

Interesting to read about alternative, non-centralized, forms of navigation. I wish modern cars which already have all the necessary sensors would use this method as a fallback, since GPS reception is not always available.

> Would this article be getting the same traction if it wasn't a MacBook?

There was a huge amount of attention, which included the things being banned on aircraft, for Samsung's fire-prone phones. Before that, it was "hoverboards." I think the answer is yes, it would.
I've heard that Boeing 747 airplanes have enough lift to fly properly (if not land properly) with their fuselages full of water. They are in service as fuel tankers.

Still, it's a bad idea to prang an airplane with a few hundred people in the aisles, so pilot skill is important.
Currently the market does.

The reason to publish failure, currently, is to challenge accepted knowledge. This can be very good for one's career. This is also done, to a lesser degree, for assumed knowledge.

But I think you'd be able to control for random failure publishing if some rigor (i.e. why did you do this) was involved.

I really don't know how incentives would be changed to allow for this though.

Currently the market (i.e. citations and novelty) are the incentives. They are gamed though, but I think ongoing discussion about problems does mitigate that over time. As everything in academia, it does take long.

Correct me if I'm wrong but these incidents are sometimes triggered by charging, but never escalated by it.

Once the layers of the cell make contact it shorts the entire battery and causes the battery to discharge quickly, releasing the energy in the form of heat.

Just because you've removed the power source from the battery doesn't mean the battery won't stop discharging.

So, you don't trust surveys? You don't A/B test your marketing?

Estimates are useful. Hell, your brain is just estimating what's in front of you based on a sample of photons coming in through your eyes. If you trust your vision, you're trusting statistical sampling. I suppose it's possible the USS Enterprise is cloaked and somehow your eyes are deceiving you, but the photons are certainly correlated with what's in front of you.

Some of the best statistical innovations are simply discoveries of good proxies for something that's difficult to measure. Google found that what you search for is a good proxy for what you want to buy. Facebook found that what your friends click on is a good proxy for what you'll click on. Of course you won't like everything Netflix suggests, but its suggestions will (hopefully) be better than just picking movies randomly.

>Are you confusing Tesla with Uber?

No, although I think Uber is in dire straits itself. A lot of laypeople buy Teslas not just because they are electric but because of a general feeling that they "are the future." The self-driving dream goes a long way towards driving this consumer sentiment. If self-driving peters out in the way I suspect it will, Musk/Tesla begin to lose some of their luster. If traditional car brands can bring in affordable electric cars which also look good, what will Musk have left? His image is necessary and part of that image is placed in self-driving.

My point wasn't to blindly defend everything Dropbox has done. I'm sure they've made mistakes, both in design and implementation. My point was that things like their hack of the accessibility panel are, in my opinion, overblown by the average technical reader.

I think bothering the user with an accessibility panel is tedious "Charlie work" that I'd prefer be avoided. I understand why it works the way it does, and I understand the theoretical risk the OS is trying to mitigate. But I'm already trusting Dropbox with my data. It's silly for the OS to treat them like some unknown piece of malware, it's just that the OS isn't a generally intelligent agent able to make accurate determinations of that sort.

I get all that. It doesn't change the fact that I as the user of my computer just want Dropbox to do whatever it needs to do to work. I'm capable of doing the accessibility dance that most applications require, but not everyone is, and I think it's a reasonable position for Dropbox to take that if users are signing up and downloading our app, then implicitly they trust us to check the accessibility box. Is that an objectively acceptable argument? No, but all I'm arguing is that it's reasonable. It doesn't imply maliciousness that that's the argument that won the day inside Dropbox.

If your thermal "don't explode" protection can be overridden by pressing the power button, what's the point?

I'm not sure this is what actually happened, anyway. He says it caught fire within a few seconds of being turned back on. Either the thermal protection is faulty (it should shut off before the battery gets anywhere near that point) or the machine shut off for some other reason (excessive CPU temperature, say).
