EMR beat Google Cloud MapReduce to market, but you're forgetting that before there was such a thing as cloud services, we relied on open-source frameworks and setup our own clusters. EMR is based on an open-source framework called Hadoop, which itself was built on a closed-source Google framework called MapReduce that Google released a paper about. MapReduce came out in 2003, Hadoop in 2006, Amazon EMR in 2009, and Cloud MapReduce in 2015.

...which is sorta my point. People remember the version of the technology that makes it accessible to them, not the first one that comes out. When Google keeps thing proprietary forever and only releases academic papers, people quickly forget just how far ahead they were.
I think arca_vorago is just commenting on the difficulty of seeing the code to make his or her own modifications to the TV because of GPLv2, and saying that the barrier to entry is considerably higher, such that groups like the CIA can modify the software for nefarious purposes.
Unfortunately all this leads to self censorship and adds fear into speaking freely and doing as you please, but adding additional lays of protection will make it more difficult for them to discover things about you. But there is no total safety or total privacy on the internet ever.
I think there's definitely truth in what you're saying, and that $3BB is surely a lot to hire an individual. However, a company is more than just its employees and cash on hand, and I think Walmart saw value in paying for a team that could enable it to execute successfully online.

Jet.com had great technical execution and some interesting predictive capabilities: e.g., if a customer felt overserved and didn't want 2-day shipping or return option, then there were additional discounts that could be offered. If this could tool Walmart up to the point where it could be competitive online, then maybe it would be worth just under 1% of their almost $500BB annual revenues to buy this company.

The Resource-Process-Value framework could be a decent way to think about this[1]:

> Every time one company acquires another, it buys its resources, its

I'm curious about how much use these general-purpose computer vision APIs are actually getting. How many companies out there really want to sift through a lot of photos to find ones that contain "sailboat"? I'm inclined to think a lot more companies would want to find "one of these five different specific kinds of sailboats performing this action", which is definitely not among the tens of thousands of predefined labels that Google, and Amazon, offer with their general purpose models.

High-quality custom model training as a service seems much more compelling.

I am a big fan of cryptocurrency, but completely agree with you about smart contracts.

From a legal perspective, as you point out, they are ridiculous, because they can't encode legally "interesting" contracts.

Many people seem to think that smart contracts can be used to replace more economic-oriented contacts, like "paying dividends to shareholders". Unfortunately here they are also useless -- the only contracts you can effectively have are zero-sum contracts; you can't have an unfunded future obligation.

Even the most basic of financial contracts, like "I'll give you $500 now and you give me $50 a month for the next 12 months", can't be effectively encoded unless I (the debtor) has $600 at the time of the issuance of the contract, so why am I taking a loan for $500? The best you can do is create a certain class of non-deliverable futures, but in the process, tying up the funds until the contract matures, and essentially preventing the use of credit in the process, which makes them useless except for toy applications.

So many people take FLOSS for granted- especially in a place like this where most people are just trying to figure out how to get equity in the next pied piper.

The bottom line is that everyone's life is better because of FLOSS. So many of us owe our careers to an army of forgotten programmers who share their time and brain power to build software for the public domain.

If offers artists in other countries an alternative to expensive software like photoshop. It allows a startup to lower the cost of opening a call center by not having to buy Windows licenses. The cancer researchers trying to find a personalized treatment for your colon cancer use FLOSS. Your state government uses software from Microsoft and Oracle. And even those are affected by and improved due to the existence of FLOSS.

I know you wont understand this. But there are a lot of kids reading this too and they should know not everyone agrees with you.
> I gotta say that I think this is just not a big deal for most people.

I'm assuming by "people" you mean pirates like VMWare or mindless end users like yourself, since it's a huge deal for developers. When I make the conscious decision to license my work for others to use under the GPL instead of something completely permissive like MIT, I clearly don't want some commercial enterprise ripping off my work and using it to line their own pockets without even contributing back their modifications.
That's the difference between OSS and Free software. One focuses just on the benefits of working openly, the other is about making sure the user have full control of what their machine does. Open Source is a side effect of Free and it's a selling point to creators but the consumer is the priority.

Edit: To be clear I'm talking more about philosophy, not licensing. I do still struggle with the idea of GPL requiring changes to be made public.
I think he means that "why would you?" is not good legal advice.

I mean, I agree with you in principle, but I can imagine some backwater judge deciding that Alice Techie was violating the privacy of Bob D. Luddite by accepting emails addressed to bob.d.luddite@alicetechie.com.
You could substitute any number of important principles in for "FOSS" here and the same group of people would nod soberly and/or disaffectedly at it.

FOSS makes the Internet possible at lower cost and with more innovation than it would be without it. Full stop.
Possible...I haven't stopped looking; that's an adventure in itself haha.
In Vancouver, our most popular local supermarket chain (Save-on-Foods) has started offering a service where you can order groceries on the web or in an app at the same prices as in the store. Then, you can either quickly pick up the collected groceries for free, or you can pay them a fee for delivery if you prefer. Even though the chain is local and the service is new, the software works well, the service works well, and overall it's a good offering.

So my question is: how do investors project that an intermediary like Instacart can outcompete the same service provided by the supermarkets themselves? Doordash can compete on variety and speed, but most folks shop at the same one or two supermarkets all the time and rarely need groceries urgently.
The previous thread speculated the value-add of Kaggle to Google. From Google's side of the announcement:

> We must lower the barriers of entry to AI and make it available to the largest community of developers, users and enterprises, so they can apply it to their own unique needs. With Kaggle joining the Google Cloud team, we can accelerate this mission.

What does Kaggle do for "lowering the barrier to entry?" (And to AI specifically, as Kaggle competitions tend to be more solvable with things like xgboost, without requiring deep learning)

The Kaggle announcement mentions data storage for public datasets, but Google already has BigQuery.

> What's the big deal with going to a grocery store

It's tedious and a waste of time. Some people enjoy grocery shopping. Power to them. I hate it.

Online ordering lets me plan what I want to buy. This lets me research--and save--my preferences in a way that can't be done in the aisle. It also removes the after-work parade of junk-food temptations. Stores are great for sampling. I like shopping at farmers' markets because I can nibble. But for that purpose, restaurants and tasting menus are superior.

I don't use Instacart. But I love FreshDirect. Not only are their prices competitive with brick-and-mortar stores, their produce is fresher. When someone says "I want lettuce on Tuesday," they message their farms and ensure it's picked at the right time so there is minimal delay between harvesting and delivery.
I absolutely see this. Just today I've been helping teach a friend's child to do multiple-digit multiplication on paper. In that kind of thing, understanding place values (the ones-tens-hundreds columns) is so important. It's amazed me how many high school students even don't quite get the idea of place values and what base 10 means. The abacus requires a good understanding of that concept from the start.

So, while the "skill spreading" might also contribute, with the abacus, it's a basic and essential concept to really understand for all higher-level math.

Kids actually are different. If you put them to bed early, that usually means they're up early. Your 5:30 jujitsu is gone... sorry, it's now 5:30 breakfast and play time. Your 9 or 10 hour work day is now a solid 8 hours. Your daycare defined the times you can arrive and leave. You get home, and now it's playtime. When he goes to bed, you can crack out that laptop. You're going to be tired.But that's the time you can find.
You're claiming you can estimate the frequency of these incidents based on how often they crop up on HN, which just flagged this straightforward and innocent link for being feminist, so yes you are definitely sheltered from these issues.
Yeah. Objective-C is definitely really flexible. From my reading of the warning, the important thing is not to execute Objective-C dynamically or access private APIs regardless of whether you're using React Native, Cordova, a WebView, or even a bare iOS app.
I have been on the beta program for this and generally the results in our testing have been very good. I particularly like how granular the data can get.
The end goal is to make routine EEG interpretation easier for neurologists. The usual way to look at an EEG is to page through the record 10 seconds at a time, and look for different (sometime subtle) features to make a diagnosis. For a 24 hour record, that's 8600 pages the neurologist has to look through, the vast majority of which contain nothing interesting.

One of the main features of our software is epileptogenic spike detection. Epileptogenic spikes are little blips in the record and are indicative that the patient has epilepsy. Our models are now good enough at finding these spikes as human neurologists. There may be only a handful of these spikes in the record, so finding them automatically can be a huge time savings for the neurologist.

Our software also finds and eliminates various EEG artifacts. Blinking, for example, causes a huge artifact in the records. (It turns out that your eye is a dipole, and rolls upward every time you blink, which produces a huge signal.) The next major goal is seizure detection. It turns out there are a lot of things that can look a lot like a seizure in an EEG record. Even disconnecting the electrodes can look like a seizure.

The holy grail would be to give the program an EEG record and have it spit out the neurologist's report. We're not there yet, but we're working towards it. (By the way, we're hiring another ML engineer and software engineer. Email jobs@persyst.com if you're interested!)
I agree completely. And I imagine, before the internet, having an extended family would have a lot of "tribal knowledge" about all the little idiosyncrasies of raising children as well.
Literally all of the important stuff.

In a recent contract I worked on the definition of "material adverse effect" took up a page of single spaced 12 point times new roman text and had about two dozen other definitions involved. Each one of those terms, at its root, comes down to a judgment call that is subject to disagreement among reasonable people. This is why we have trials.

7 Ways Roy Lichtenstein Inspires Us

over and presses the contacts directly to my car's battery.
is that safe?

Electrically, it's not all that different from using jump leads - there's the same risk of sparks, the same voltage and load involved.

There is a risk of battery acid leakage from flipping the source battery, but that depends on the type of battery - a sealed unit is unlikely to leak.

There's also a risk of injury from being so close to the engine bay when it's started - say, if your hand came into contact with a moving part like a belt or a fan - but again, that's dependent on the layout of the engine bay, and those risks are generally clearly visible and obvious.

It's certainly not "normal" practice for the western world, but there isn't really all that much risk in it. And it turns out Americans do it too! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcYjJcEZuOA
Monads are like burritos. This is explained very well at http://blog.plover.com/prog/burritos.html.

In short they are way to automate building new types out of old types in such a way that code written for the old types can immediately be turned into code written for the new types. This allows a lot of otherwise repetitive code that you might otherwise wind up writing to be pushed to your type system. Which in turn makes it feasible to build a richer type system.

Haskell takes this idea to an extreme.
And, while arguably not the sexiest of marques, their service organization is brilliant.

Even here (Way out in the boonies, a small island off the west coast of Norway), anything and everything I have ever needed to keep my nigh on 20 year old Toyota running has arrived the morning after ordering at 8AM.

Granted, I haven't needed any really exotic parts - but they still impress me. Heck, the body panels are even available pre-painted as they only imported a few paint codes in that model year!

I can see a number of valid reasons not to become a Toyota owner. Their service organization is not one of them!

I think the long term vision for the future free of these problems is an interesting conversation to have. The challenge inherent in getting there is being aware there is a problem and working towards fixing it.

By advocating for legislators and public administrators to hide the problem from their constituents, you create a situation where "out of sight, out of mind" takes the pressure off the government to solve the problem at all.

This is independent of personal occupation or hobbies. I'm not impugning your goals of solving the problem through your career in technology. It's about enforcing the accountability of the people who have the ability to make the changes to solve the problems at scale.

Setting aside the political issue (eg. Torvalds says he prefers GPLv2 for the kernel), is it even possible to change to GPLv3 at this point. Linux doesn't do copyright assignment, which means that they would need to track down and get permission from everyone who has contributed (or remove their contributions) in order to re-license.

> How do you fight against harmful, unjust beliefs such as racism without making it socially uncomfortable for people to express them?

I've got a better question: in what way is making it dangerous ("uncomfortable" is an underhanded euphemism) to express certain views advancing the "fight" against them? It's really an attack on "those [other] people", and not at all on their beliefs: since ideas can't be physically and verbally attacked and abused, if abuse happens (it does), it can only be directed at people. In fact the liberal elite has largely abandoned the "fight against racism". It's entirely likely that a legitimate treatment of the subject, an "Against Racism", would be attacked (or rather, its author would be attacked) as "normalizing" racism. I'm entirely serious: I have observed claims by everyday liberal elites in their safe spaces (e.g., HN, reddit) that it's not acceptable to explain why certain views are bad because doing so normalizes them.
Continuous Delivery IRL
Judging from what has happened in democratic Western European countries (but also in the US in the past, e.g. with E.J. Hoover, Watergate, etc), the idea that the prior president (or his team) would tap a threatening contender's phone sounds pretty much business as usual. As does the fact that everybody will deny it, especially since the law officially forbids it.

They might not have done out of fear of being exposed later. But the reasoning that only what the law says happens is, to this cynic, laughable.
A lot of the Linux bodies with community sounding names like Linux foundation are actually groups of corporate interests. I had looked up some of the people behind these foundations a couple of years ago and they came across as careerists with little connection to Linux, open source or Linux advocacy.

There is nothing wrong with this, but the names of these bodies should reflect their interests. A name like 'Linux Foundation' should be the flagship organization promoting Linux and open source globally as well as user and developer interests. Some thing like 'Linux Industry Group' is a better reflection of the work Linux foundation does.

Ultimately its high time end-users organize some kind of funded entity to support open source projects and protect user interests. Not just one but multiple such bodies. Without that the interests of those funding projects, developers and industry bodies will triumph and you will just have to accept what ever is 'decided' for you.

I think forums like this should also gently encourage all the thousands of startups who dip into the Linux ecosystem pool but do not contribute anything back even after they are successful, sometimes wildly. Github and Redis comes to mind. That doesn't feel right.

Hiring people working on specific open source projects is good, but its not support, its protecting your own interests. Non-conditional funding so they can continue to do their work that you have benefited from is better.

Its like a river, if you keep on taking from it eventually there will be nothing left.
Here in the US, many Kroger and Walmart location have online ordering with pickup already in place. So I'd imaging it wouldn't be a big jump for either of them to offer delivery. My other local grocery chain, Publix, has gone the instacart route for their grocery delivery for now.

It depends on the data set and the images in question.

Of course taking as an example for a sport’s clothing company where their digital assets are mostly related to their products a general purpose API might not get the subtle differences between two similar shoes, or clothing lines from different seasons.
