Blockchains cannot understand intent like a human courts can.

The idea that intent is an important part of determining the punishment/morals of the crime came out of the French Enlightenment. I'd really rather not roll back this. The difference between an accident, manslaughter, and first degree murder are non-trivial and VERY IMPORTANT.

Also fuck you if you want to train an ML bot to that job. You clear don't get it.
That was me down thread, I wasn't intentionally been sharp, I love HN for the community of people/things that get posted and it's one of the few sites that actually works properly on my frequently flaky mobile internet so please don't go full Web 2.0 if you do fix things!.
Thanks for the feedback!
More data about Replies, along with some meaningful visualization are the first priorities.
North suburbs of Atlanta, GA; 17 miles, about 40 minutes on average. It's probably shorter in the summer - Atlanta traffic is notoriously more clogged when kids are in school - but my department moved to our current location when the school year was starting so I haven't seen that summer difference yet.

I find this superior to my previous commute (which was similar time, shorter distance, bus-to-BART in San Francisco) but feel guilty about it. I like not being so reliant on a car but Atlanta doesn't exactly make that easy.
Trusted/senior is an interesting metric.

Is there untrusted senior people? Or trusted non senior?

How is trust defined? Does this become completely political of who likes you?

I don't know if this makes sense, but I imagine a "visual website builder" that works with components, like React Components.

Each visual part of the site, in each page, has a component. That component may be just static text or image, or it can run code before rendering something.

That should be enough to start.

I gotta say that I think this is just not a big deal for most people. I understand that FOSS ideals have appeal, I understand why people would like them to be protected -- but at the end of the day, I do feel like FOSS advocates, as well-meaning as they are, are perhaps investing their concern in the wrong place. FOSS rhetoric is nice, but it just doesn't seem that important.
The XPS is a Linux showcase laptop. I have run Fedora latest on this laptop (which installs like a breeze. ubuntu has problems with the latest NVME ssd). Gnome is the UX to beat in laptops now.

Gnome is optimized for sheer developer productivity and looks very slick. Fedora with kernel 4.9+ is excellent. Everything just works on the XPS.
It's easy to want something you can't have and wanting it a lot doesn't make it any more likely to become reality.
Effectively Deploy Elixir Apps with Nanobox
Yes but that is more so relying on off-the-shelf software versus building it yourself. A technology company will be building the tools, not exclusively buying them. Wal-Mary's core competency has been supply chain and apparently operations research.
I have no comment on the valuation, but the service has made my life better.

I no longer fight with my significant other about grocery store trips, and the house is always stocked with healthy, delicious food from Whole Foods.

In 3 years, I'm not sure I've ever had a problem with an Instacart delivery, other than them occasionally forgetting items.

edit: I should have mentioned that I'm not very picky about what is actually delivered, I'm just happy to have a bunch of fresh vegetables, fruit, and sparkling water stocked in my house at all times.

Do you mean instead of an AST? I find the syntax tree better for non-compiler applications like translators.
Lot's of smaller but good investments vs a lower quality bad investment.

The best option for sovereign wealth funds is probably buying the widest possible swath of companies that reach some basic criteria. I suspect they do massive deals because internal politics means being in charge of such a deal let's you gain more power even if it costs the country on average because a huge win on a 3.5 billion investment means little at that scale.
I wanted this and I couldn't find it, thanks!

How much spam do you get from the Catch-All?
I love the fact that this can even be a threat. I'm biased, as an old Sun guy and thinking the x86 architecture was a bit too adhoc[1] and way too proprietary for really clever innovation. I had pretty much given up anyone challenging them in the server space assuming that 100 years from now kids would marvel that their brain implant could be switched into 'real mode' to run something called 'dos' :-).

This is something that I give full credit to Linus and the other developers that have made Linux into a credible server operating system. Without that software base, ARM would never have been able to get where it has.

[1] I get it that most people never see the 'insides' of their systems but its always been something I cared about.
There could be premade components, but the real thing is to let people write code actually. Non-technical folks may be able to write small pieces of code, I guess, even if they're just copying and pasting, then modifying.

The code run in each component should be able to talk to a database (locally or over the wire), act on global page parameters or React to form submissions.

The highest-profile case that I'm personally attached to or know people involved in would be the countless allegations against Jacob Applebaum from Tor.

There's one particularly dishonest method that people who defend the status quo use (usually out of sweaty desperation for privileges handed out based on gender, race, or financial class), which is the way they frame incidents of abuse or oppression as completely isolated from society or culture.

If you look at the Uber or Tor cases you have to realize that there is a culture in hacker / geek / IT that enabled it. Hell, if you post on HN must you realize there's values that the majority of us share. And those values that enabled the horrors at Tor and Uber are likely also present in other situations that are based on or include the same culture.

If you think I'm implying all men in SV or on HN are misogynists then you're willfully misinterpreting me, I'm just saying these are systematic / cultural issues and should be addressed as such. Also, it'd be great if you'd step out of the way.
$3 billion is a lot to hire one person. They had to think the tech, relationships, or something there was valuable, it makes no sense as just an aquihire imo.

> - Bad Performance

It's one of the fastest dynamic languages in existence, considerably faster than e.g. Ruby and Python

Compared to what? It's a dynamic language.

> - No generic language - Too many abstractions - Double behavior of types - Bad scaling -

Vague, what does these even mean? Compared to what?

Again vague, what is it lacking? Perhaps it just implements the bits people actually use?

No idea what this means. Chrome devtools debugger is excellent.

> The Community (1000+ Frameworks with almost the same features for what existing standards?????)

It's a huge community, there're bound to be lots of camps and lots of people trying to crack the same nut different ways. What's wrong with competition? I personally think it's a fantastic community, and find others lacking by comparison.
I assume these models, and your end-product goal, is to make some kind of diagnosis, or flag anomalies? This is very interesting, and any more info on what your use-case or end-product would be great.

As an individual if I want a lawyer for anything right now, I am most likely going to wind up with a complete technophobe who is barely computer literate enough to copy and paste the boilerplate legal document they make for me.
First "development" job out of college: http://globalsportsman.com
I live in Rural New York State and my commute is the 5 steps it takes to go from my bed to my desk. But, I've had a number of commuting situations over the years.

The worst commute I ever had was the 45 minute to 1 hour drive down 30 miles of two lane state road. Cars tend to clump, so unless you're lucky, you wind up behind 3-4 other cars. This makes passing a lesson in futility, not to mention dangerous.

The best commute I ever had was the 30 minute motorcycle ride from a house in the Presidio to an office in SoMa. The ride was always fun and short enough that I never got sick of it. It also provided a daily structure and a minimum level of socialization that I currently lack working from home.
I genuinely cannot tell if you are trolling.

Technical support could also be given, in such a way that if each component is independent and runs a small piece of code that is transparent to the user and the developer who's supporting the user, it should be straightforward to help users.

Since each component is independent, it should be clear to the user what he is trying to do in that component specifically. Since it is clear, the technical support could tackle that problem in no time.
WeakMap just allows you to tell the GC "don't hold on to this memory just because I'm using it as a key in this Map" -- it doesn't let you tell the GC what to actually do with the memory.

Not really, I was looking through it and it looks to me like organizations NCC group has more advanced people in it. The advantage the CIA has is you get to go all the way with exploits instead of having to restrain yourself.
> It sends the following messages:

- you can abuse Linux, the GPL and copyleft while still being accepted amidst the Linux Foundation Members

- it means the Linux Foundations has no ethical concerns whatsoever about accepting such entities without previously asking them to become clean

- it also means that VMware has still not understood that Linux and FOSS is about your actions, particularly the kind of choices you make how to technically work with the community, and not against it.

I think all of those apply to Microsoft, too. The Linux Foundation tainted its image when it accepted Microsoft without even demanding that it "becomes clean," as the author says, in regards to its exploitative use of patents against OEMs that dare to use Linux-based operating systems.
You own the car, but only license the software that actually makes the car run. So, no, not really.

Nice.

Elixir deploys could stand some better facilitation.

Does Nanobox support other languages, or is it an Elixir-focused tool?
> Sure, but it is a single cloud.

Not sure what that means. Arguably, the cloud computing business is what's driving high performance computing at this point. Go look at the benchmarks for Ryzen, for example. It's pretty clear who AMD is targeting with that architecture (hint: games aren't in desperate need of better multi-core performance).

> Will you ever be able to buy these products? And would you ever want to? Windows Server 20XX on ARMv8 will forever remain a niche platform at best.

Did you read the article? This is about MS supporting ARM in their cloud offerings (and porting windows to do so). Whether or not consumers will purchase these solutions seems irrelevant in this context.
This, sir, is hilarious btw.

Also, a friend of mine from Moscow IRL 90's once said the electricity went out because the power lines were stolen.
Debian and Ubuntu have had ARM ports for years. Prospective server vendors will need to address the driver situation but once you've booted the userland is highly portable.
>Versioning of models becomes important, and we looked around to see how others do it before we rolled our own.

Nonetheless I disagree with you. I think it's worth actually pursuing this and settling the VMware situation clearly.
Uncertainty is rarely a good thing for anyone in these kind of situations, and so I'm disappointed that there still hasn't been a real ruling on the merits of the case.

Personally I remain convinced that the vmklinux/shim usage pattern is ok by the letter of the license, but I can understand Harald Welte and Christopher Hellwig's viewpoint.
You are leasing the software required to make the car work. Sadly, not terribly uncommon.
This is definitely something Tesla needs to fix and soon. It shouldn't be hard...

Ensuring that people get competent service and a good experience one step removed, remotely, is hard. That could be helped by fostering a customer culture of "do it yourself" then super-enabling customers and local service providers with great access to information, along with good logistics/fulfillment.
I never really understood the acquisition because of the reasons you said. Jet was burning through cash, and from what I can tell was gaining no mindshare over Amazon. When they didn't have inventory for products on their store, which was regularly in my personal experience, they'd just order them from Amazon and then offer more coupons to the customer.

So Walmart spent $3 billion to acquire someone who can spend cash fast? What exactly did he prove with Jet, other than he can spend more money to acquire customers than they will pay?

I only know what I read about it from a few articles, so I don't know the specifics. But from a consumer perspective Jet was losing horribly to Amazon - I'd use their coupons when it was cheaper than Amazon and then go back to Amazon. I figured out ways to essentially get steep discounts for every order, and even then I still preferred to use Amazon because it had less friction.

Maybe I'll just never understand big business.
That last sentence is a cheap shot poorly stated. I think you meant to say that people who fit the description gravitate towards the Republican party as a safe haven for their idiocy, but Abe Lincoln isn't responsible for the creepers, and it's plausible the Republican Party (in the abstract) is aligned to the US not the constituents. One hopes this applies for all parties, though it may not.
They just officially announced it at NEXT. It was presented by Fei Fei Li, who is known for the ImageNet project, which one one of the first big open datasets that really helped advance this field.

> I do currently see some mysterious performance differences between Mac and Windows though, not sure what's up with that (e.g. my mid-2014 MBP with a 2.8 GHz i5 is giving better performance than the 3.5 GHz i7-4770K in my work PC).

It's worth checking the single thread performance of both your CPU models (see www.cpubenchmark.net), sometimes the higher end models actually have slower single thread performance.
I find a lot of these frameworks to be overkill.

A rating event comes into our web server (python), then sent to SQS, then the event is pulled by our custom artificial neural network (deep learning) script, --written in Go. A model is trained and serialized. Next, the serialized model is uploaded to Postgres where it is fetched by the web service (also written in Go) to serve predictions.

We update our models within 15 seconds of a user rating. Every month with millions of ratings, we re-train millions of models and serve billions of predictions.
> That still doesn't change the points I've made, in that it is a huge tradeoff in lifestyle and one must be clear about that.

This is the case for many life decisions. I don't see how this is a helpful addition to the conversation.

* Move to another state? There will be big life implications.

* Change careers? Ditto.

* Go to college?

* Go _back_ to school?

* Spend loads of free time hacking away instead of getting out of the house?

* Travel a bunch, perhaps at the cost of rapid career advancement?

* Take a huge pay cut to work on something you enjoy?

All of these (and more) will limit you in various ways, but gift you with different experiences. The same is for kids.

It sounds like you don't want kids. That's cool, I'm glad you know what you want. But no need to hype up this decision to have kids or not as scary or some kind of albatross. It's just another decision with pros and cons.
that makes (some) sense. It would be great if in the future they could not rely on github.
What exactly is ODD? Where is the line drawn between an aggressive child and ODD? Are girls diagnosed more liberally with ODD than boys?

Because Thunderbolt 3 is faster than USB, and allows for more powerful devices.

All USB Type C ports support USB, but only some USB Type C ports also support Thunderbolt 3, so they are labeled differently to show that.

If the battery turned upside down was sealed would it be okay to do this?

Pinterest Acquires Biz Stone's Company, Jelly
Big News–Pinterest Acquires Jelly
I live in Newark, Delaware, USA and generally work in an office approximately 12 miles away (~19km) in Wilmington, Delaware, USA. I usually drive a car to and from work during rush hour which either requires using Interstate 95 or, when there's an accident, a series of smaller local highways. Travel time varies wildly from day-to-day, but in general the morning commute takes approximately 20 minutes while the evening commute takes about 30-45 minutes.

The layout of the roads, design of on-ramps and off-ramps, and very common merging and unmerging of major high-speed freeways and slower highways with traffic lights, sometimes with multiple others happening within just a few hundred yards, causes a lot of poor driving habits to build up. Drivers in the state are very greedy about their position "in line" and will tailgate aggressively to prevent traffic from merging more gracefully. It infuriates drivers behind me that i always leave an adequate amount of space between my car and the one ahead of me, especially if an on-ramp is coming up to merge. The radio calls these "volume delays" but they are more accurately called "asshole delays."

To me, code like many forms of literature, often concerns utterly abstract concepts.

What's the structure of the hopelessness and anguish expressed in Moby Dick? What can you look at that would be a reasonable expression of the twists and turns of Dune?

Paintings can express abstract concepts as well, but I think they're hard pressed to express multiple convoluted ones with cause-effect mechanics succinctly.

Shipping source code with business logic (assuming the definition of source code includes obfuscated JS) is how the entire web works today! With WASM the code that is shipped will be even further away from the original source code and really not so different from downloading ARM from the App Store or Java/ART bytecode from the Play Store.
I share your understanding, and yeah, the joke is probably that the word "regular" sounds "easy" or "normal" (shit another loaded term). I was just curious if I was missing more
No: NT was written in a portable high level language from the beginning. They had a few platform support ASM blocks but one of the big selling points in the 90s was true API compatibility across x86, PowerPC, Alpha, MIPS, etc. In the pre-Linux era that was huge – porting across vendors' different conceptions of Unix was a huge time-sink.

DEC built an impressive x86 to Alpha dynamic binary translator but that was their work, not part of NT.
