How I interpret HATEOAS:

The client knows what and how it can access on the behalf of the authenticated user. Examples:

Representation for a user with no privileges:

{
"articles": [{
"id": 123
"title": "A title",
"links": {
"self": {
"href": "http://blog.com/articles/123",
"methods": ["GET"]
}
}
}],
"links": {
"self": {
"href": "http://blog.com/articles",
"methods": ["GET"]
}
}
}

Representation for a user who is authorized to add/edit/delete articles:

{
"articles": [{
"id": 123
"title": "A title",
"links": {
"self": {
"href": "http://blog.com/articles/123",
"methods": ["GET", "DELETE", "PUT"]
}
}
}],
"links": {
"self": {

}

This reduces the authorization logic on the client side.
Short synopsis: Employee at Boeing wanted a hand formatting an Excel spreadsheet, so he emailed it to his wife (not a Boeing employee) so she could help him out, but she discovered that there were hidden columns in the spreadsheet containing extremely sensitive information for 30,000 employees.

Kudos to Boeing for handling this in an open manner. I am learning that there are actually protocols in place for reporting this sort of breach, as well as legislative requirements in different countries/states that outline what needs to be done and communicated to the victims of the breach.
The Jupyter notebook hosting on Azure is a wonderful, underrated service. Amazing that they offer it for free.

"The world of physics is then," as Planck says, "a deliberate
hypothesis put forth by a finite mind in an attempt to reduce
the facts of observation to a system based on certain physical principles such that known phenomena are necessary consequences of the system."

The basic principles are chosen on experimental grounds. Whether they are true or false in the absolute sense is not a pertinent question. Their consequences must agree with nature. They are working hypotheses which are to be discarded whenever they cease to be effective or helpful.

Progress means bringing new sets of observations with the system in a way to give a complete mathematical description of physical phenomena in terms of the fewest principles or entities, that is to find in a variety of physical phenomena essential relations from which future phenomena can be predicted.

Physics is thus a result of our quest for order and harmony among physical phenomena. It is man's best attempt to think vigorously whatever permits of vigorous thinking. It is not fixed but is subject to change and evolution. Whatever comes out must go back to enrich the soil from which it came

I think it's worth the full read, 20 pages of pretty good physics history
I think for most people in the world, pork products are more likely to be a source of the parasite than cats though. And there's quite a few people who eat pork even outside the US.
Why in the world should a transaction go like this:

I just make a purchase. Now it's time to calculate the arbitrary variable buyer price-sensitivity upcharge.

Not to mention of course that charge will invariably be higher for those that are attractive. More so if they flirt.

Also tipping is not socially obligated in a lot of fields with employees who actually need the money: e.g. Fast food, bank tellers, retail employees.
How difficult is it to get an F# kernel for Jupyter running on my Mac?

Pretty bad, actually. There is no official documentation of the name mangling, so everything that is known is reverse engineered. In particular, there are outright bugs in the name mangling scheme, and one of the rules appears to rely on hashing the function body to produce a result. I'd give you examples, but, I don't have any of them on hand (I'm mostly relying on recollection from conversations with David Majnemer).
> But anecdotal evidence doesn't count for much haha

Don't discount confirmation bias. I'd bet that's also in play, in your narrative about "cat people".
You are just talking about the side-benefits that cause nations and companies to feed money into a corrupt system.
It seems the financial side of a company have to make a guess at position they expect to be in when they report to the shareholders. So long as they beat the estimates then everyone is happy. The guess does have to be with enough forward movement to show the company is worth investing into. It's all a bit of a tightrope to get it right enough the money stays in play so the company can continue doing what they want to do.
Sure, the 8-core runs at a lower clock speed and and old arch - that's a major (but unavoidable) part of the problem, as I said.

To be specific: you can't get the equivalent of a 7700k with eight cores - the 6900k is (AFAIK) the next best thing, and by the looks of it, ryzen for all it's revolutionary improvements wrt bulldozer, is not all that different from a 6900k. AMD's own numbers place it at an identical single core perf.
The question didn't even mention GPUs, and there's no reason that what you mention can't change in the future. It was a pointer.

This would improve so many people's lives. Especially here, in South California, imagine if all car transportation theoretically moved underground. All the space for parking lots and roads could be converted to homes/businesses, and although increasing population density it would decrease rent prices and decrease travel time. Interesting thought.

Winston Churchill famously listed his martini recipe as something like drinking a bottle of gin while gazing in the direction of France. I don't understand this aversion for vermouth in some (vocal) martini drinkers: if you don't like vermouth (and lemon peel...), then just drink gin and have some olives and whatever other snack you want on the side. Personally I like a 4:1 with a spray from a lemon peel.
The title says being long-winded is a sign of Alzheimer's. Then this quote says being long-winded is actually not the concern. Then later somebody says subjects with cognitive impairment were (I'm paraphrasing) long-winded. Can somebody at the Guardian make up their damn mind, or are they suffering cognitive impairment and early Alzheimer's?

I'm very curious about F# on Mac. I tried it once but it seems disjointed: Ionide requires Mono but I was wanting to use dotnet Core. They didn't seem to agree on what libraries were actually available and I would see red squiggles in the IDE while the code actually compiled.
You are largely correct, except the wearable tech was not a smart watch. It was a 2010-era fitness tracker one straps onto the arm. Definitely nowhere in the "pretty bangle" category. I think wearers would be less active because they wouldn't want to be seen in public with it.

Please clarify: I take your answer as a (fair) response to the first objection, but what about the other ("third parties would just start capturing and storing posts while you have "travel mode" off, and sell that to CBP, or whoever else wants to pay for it")?

Does that possibility worry you? Wouldn't that also put you in a position where you’re lying at the border?

Plus climate change would have to get pretty incredibly bad for, say, Mars to start looking easier to live on than Earth.

That's the problem with colonization as an Earth back-up—even Antarctica and the Sahara Desert are more livable than any other body in the Solar System, by a long shot. Another Snowball Earth or a heavily desertified Earth would still be preferable to Mars. Throw in a fair amount of radiation, even—still better.

Cuts down significantly on the sorts of events for which a Martian back-up world is preferable to a shelter-in-place strategy.
No, it still isn't. Giving an example of actual market segmentation, still doesn't make context-free tipping about market segmentation.
> just be aware that Ryzen is probably operating much closer to it's limit than the Intel counterparts, so overclocking could be limited.

Overclocking is also limited on the Intel counterparts, so that's not really a big deal. Most kaby lakes won't do 5ghz, and good ones hit the wall at 5ghz. That's not much of an increase over the stock 4.2/4.5ghz for the 7700K

Also AMD is claiming a lower TDP than Intel, so that would suggest Ryzen has more OC headroom than Intel has. Although of course this is all wait-and-see.

Strong claim that the parties necessary to hold the Olympics, namely the participating nations, chiefly care about enriching the IOC. If the countries and companies involved cared enough about it, or the public did, the brand could be bought or seized by decree and the Olympic Games modified. It is a very old term and a very old concept, so is not like it is that defensible as a trademark. Besides, at the scale of international institutions, trademarks are not particularly powerful. If the US, China, the EU and Russia wanted to change how the Olympics work, change it would.
I seem to have misremembered, the odd one out was WhenAny, and the issue is that it crashes when given the empty set, instead of waiting forever (which is fine if you're dealing with a specific number of tasks, but not fine if you're actually using it for a dynamic number of tasks).

I could have sworn it was WaitAll, but heck - clearly not! Sorry :-).

I think this sort of approach is required, but won't be sufficient. If you are going to give away money on the world stage, you will be dealing with both sophisticated, and barbaric efforts to undermine your system. You will have users being tricked, blackmailed, and violently forced into providing false verification.

Well, the thesis of the piece linked seems to be that we're entering a brave new world where this isn't just an option but the way to get a job.
People who lose money shorting Tesla are losing their shirts for the same reason as those who shorted Amazon: cash flow + growth matters more than profitability, PE ratios, or EPS. Tesla's car business is cash flow positive but the quarterly losses are due to infrastructure investments. This is how finance can be more subtle than meets the eye.

Tesla's car business is very profitable:

Tesla also reported an automotive gross margin excluding SBC and ZEV credit (non-GAAP), of 22.2% in the quarter, up from 19.7% a year ago, but down from 25.0% in Q3...

huge growth:

Looking at the future, Tesla said it expects to deliver 47,000 to 50,000 Model S and Model X vehicles combined in the first half of 2017, representing vehicle delivery growth of 61% to 71% compared with the same period last year.

reinvesting operating profits into investments:

The company also expects to invest between $2 billion and $2.5 billion in capex ahead of the start of Model 3 production and continues "to focus on capital efficiency while also investing in battery cell, pack and energy storage production at Gigafactory 1. It also forecast that both Model 3 and solar roof launches are on track for the second half of the year.

This company is firing (no pun intended) on all cylinders
I agree, and I read it the same way, but it is widely interpreted as resist commenting about downvotes at all. Furthermore, it seems to be widely interpreted as a strict rule rather than a suggested guideline.

Since the guideline isn't specific, there's certainly room for varied interpretation. And since many people exercise their downvotes based on their own interpretation, I find I'm happier if I avoid the issue by generally not discussing downvotes unless, like here, people are genuinely curious and I feel like trying to help.

Btw, note I didn't reply directly to the downvote comments, I only jumped in late to reply to your question. My take is @mozumder made a blanket generalization about white engineers that people were reacting to, @Neutralid jumped to conclusions about why the downvotes were occurring and suggested that @mozumder's views were being suppressed ideologically, which isn't the simplest explanation, and @JoeAltmaier demonstrated one of the common interpretations of HN guidelines.

The takeaway from this is that downvotes happen, so don't worry too much, and that there's just a whole lot that can go wrong when communicating, whether it's average people talking politics, or above average engineers on HN, so use a wide berth, give benefit of the doubt, be charitable in your interpretations, and you'll have more fun. :)
This isn't very different from refusing to provide login credentials. Sure, turning travel mode on and off could require keys, which are present only on primary devices, which are left at home. So there'd be no need to lie.

However, foreigners would likely be turned back. Because using travel mode is arguably evidence of hiding stuff. And citizens might still be detained. It seems unlikely that they'd send agents to homes, to turn off travel mode. But it's arguably not impossible.
Not really. Google owns the copyright for all code contributed by Google employees on Google time, and currently they are the only copyright holder [1].

In order to contribute you have to sign the standard Google Contributor License Agreement (either [0] or the corporate version) which gives Google a perpetual irrevocable copyright and patent license. Since the project is BSD licensed anyway, unless you're contributing something you intend to patent, you're giving Google nothing by signing the CLA: you still own the actual copyright. (Based on my skimming the agreement; IANAL)

Beautiful, but super, super, boring -- with an extra helping of boring on top.
It can be effective immediately.

Where do we have all this AI for?

+ Facebook can make a filter that only displays a tiny subset of all posts. A filter that only displays a tiny subset of my friends.

+ Gmail can make a filter that shows only a subset of my emails.

+ Preferably the AI can then fill it up with stuff. :-)

In this way it all looks perfectly fine. There is only way less info in it.

This would save me time from making accounts for traveling purposes.
Citizens AND permanent residents. For some reason everyone is just saying citizens. But the whole intention of asking for access to people's accounts is meant to be for verifying they are complying with their visa. [1] E.g. Similar to looking through someone's documents as they cross and seeing a letter that's an offer of work would be cause for refusal if they weren't entering with the correct work permit.

But in the case of citizens and permanent residents both have no cause for this kind of verification. They're allowed to enter for any purpose. So at the very least citizens and permanent residents should not be searched.

[1] I'm not defending the practice or saying this is how it's actually being used, but it is the only actual reasonable justification CBP have for the practice of searching phones.
Ah, my bad. I thought the model was in reference to the current age of the star, not the expected duration of fusion.
That's cool. Though, it's not clear if this is scanning just the local network, or more broadly.
On the other hand, for a personal machine, caring about local root exploits is almost certainly outside your threat model. You have a https://xkcd.com/1200/ architecture, where everything other than software updates is running as uid 1000. The things you actually care about, your emails, your IMs, your tax documents, etc., are all accessible to uid 1000. Any random malware you might download will run as uid 1000. root is honestly a less interesting target. And the non-root account runs sudo often enough that an attacker with access to your account can get to root with a bit of patience, anyway, no kernel exploits required.

I used to maintain a laptop with two user accounts, one of which I used for running sudo and doing important work, and one of which had the Flash and Java plugins enabled and was used for Pandora, YouTube, etc. It sorta worked, but it was a pain, and I eventually gave up on it. If you do have a setup like this, then caring about local root exploits starts to make a bit of sense.

I now have a Chromebook, which sandboxes any attacker-controlled executable code on the machine. If you actually care about the security of your personal computer, do that, or get Qubes or something—and just use the vendor's provided OS and keep it up-to-date.
"branding" a project that way might make the authors unhappy, but i can totally imagine someone saying in a couple of months "I built a char2wav net with GRUs and deconvolution" or something like that, ie using the word as a generic term...
Prof. Smith describes how social sciences could benefit from the modern, coordinate-free approach in physics. He also wishes for a tighter coupling in social sciences as we've seen historically with physics (theory) and engineering (practice).

Interesting article.
By following these simple rules I was able to retire from salary work at age 55 and pursue a research dream.

The key is not how much money you make. The key is simply living below your means and staying that way even as wealth builds.

You live in a house less than you can afford. You drive maybe a used car. You forgo expensive vacations. You eat at home instead of every meal out. You send your kids to public school instead of private school, or maybe homeschool them.

But very important - you choose a frugal spouse. Someone who shares your life goals to save a fortune.

I've not worried about paying bills for many decades. Living below your means sensibly yields enormous peace of mind.

Do it.
Note that GP was talking about the mass of two thousand Saturn V's, not the payload. It would take 20,000 BFR launches to put 6 million tons in orbit.
> why do they offer exactly that option with their secure vault?

You mean FileVault, their disk encryption? Time Machine backups are not encrypted by default. You have to opt in.

If you mean Keychain, their password manager, that's a good example of a high-security special case. And there are usually ways of resetting lost passwords so you may still survive the loss of your Keychain key.

This is not a matter of "convenience"... Apple does not want a million customers crying at the Genius Bar over the permanent loss of a lifetime of photo memories because they lost their key, ok? You have to design systems expecting that normal people will lose their key at least once in their life. Have you ever lost the keys to your home? For most people, if you offered to improve the security of their home at the cost of incinerating the house if they lose their key, that would not on balance be a good default setup. Maybe for their safety deposit box it would, and only in cases where they'd rather destroy the contents than let them get into the wrong hands. But certainly it's not a one-size-fits-all good default config in all cases.
I'm not sure I understand that objection. How will a third party collect non-public information from my Facebook account, or my email?
Actually I knew that, the 'possibly unofficial' was more in reference to the Flappy Bird github repos I've encountered. I've checked the code for 2048 a few times to see how HTML5 games can be made (I used to make Flash games).
