Are phone calls not also done in the safety of your own home? Can police request call records? Google does not exist inside your house, neither does the internet. No reasonable person could believe that they do.
The first thing that comes to my mind when I see a resume like yours is that do you have any real experience or just a line claiming your did the bootcamp? Depending in what you learned, do you have a portfolio of released apps and software that you can proudly list? Also have a blog. Not everyone needs these, but given you're starting out new, you need to do all you can to get more credibility and these two things can put you a notch above most other people applying for the same job and at least get you interviews. Once you get there, then it's all you and not so much your portfolio or blog.
I disagree. This would increase the value of the useful impressions and increase the demand for advertising from niche players who can now effectively target their market.
I prefer to scroll with the spacebar. Therefore fixed headers are the enemy (like in this story!).

> No matter how you spin it, you will look suspicious Case closed, crime solved, right?

Oh, come on. The police are looking for a list of persons of interest to start with.

If someone disappears, their spouse gets put on the list of persons of interest. So do the last people seen with them. For each one, the police see if there is a case to be made, or if they know anything that could help, and then move on.
Mildly entertaining read but not sure if it fits HN's "intellectual" requirement.
Weird. All my vegan and vegetarian cookbooks have lentils, beans, chickpeas or tofu. often mixed with nuts, in pretty much every dish. And suggest nutritional yeast as a good source of B vitamins, especially B12 (admittedly as an additive)

This is wrong? Are you claiming you can just eat cruciferous vegetables, for instance, and be fine?

Isn't there something else these astronomers can do that provide more immediate help to society?
Thanks! Ideally this makes it significantly easier for effective non-profits to raise money. We're not locking in the set of organizations we fund. Being flexible about which cause you support at any given time, given the available facts is a core part of effective altruism.

We're especially excited about funding new nonprofits that seem like they're going to be able to have a big impact, because at the moment they can spend north of 30-40% of their time fundraising (which, especially when they're new, would be time better spent on validating their programs and scaling up).
AMD Ryzen hit by severe FMA3 crash bug
According to Uber, when you update your email address, they are unable to tie your old email address back to your new email address.

This caused a bit of a problem when the host of Reply All lost access to his account when a Russian person "hacked" his account.

I don't understand why Uber doesn't have a history on the account "table" in their data store.

quite excited by what we are doing here. It is kubernetes native. We can launch functions (python, nodejs) in a gcloud manner. Kubernetes deployments and services are created on the fly. Generic runtime get injected with dependencies using an init-container, functions get injected via configmaps. And services that functions can call are deployed via Helm. I am pumped.

That 47% discount is a discount on AWS on demand (EC2/RDS) prices - not a 47% discount relative to GCP sustained use pricing.

I just finished researching pricing on AWS/GCP for my team - and I found that generally AWS matches GCP pricing (sometimes a little higher, sometimes a little lower) if you can commit to 1 year.

From what I found through my research, the only way to achieve a significant reduction in price relative to GCP is if you can commit to 3 years on AWS.

However, I found it somewhat difficult to compare apples to apples - as it can be difficult to match CPU and RAM - I had to settle for close enough. There is a very big difference in network bandwidth allowances per type - with GCP being far more generous. Load balancing offerings differ greatly - with GCP seeming much more modern in design (HA, geo-load balancing, anycast static ip, etc.). My point here being that our analysis took into account price as well as other factors.
A procedural request for static information is very different than an intentional action to create interaction with another person.

Also, in this case, the warrant asks for (to adapt your analogy) the numbers of anyone who called such phone:

-only during a small time window, when in reality it doesn't matter when the query happened

-from a phone only in town, when in reality the scammer could have called (google searched) from amywhere

-also assumes the caller was the end user of the dialogue, and that the dialogue was relevant to the crime
(images can be traded and downloaded from places other than GIS)

I think a more correct analogy is to say that a crime happened to a certain phone number, and now a warrant exists to find everyone in town who looked at that page in their phone book in a certain time range.

I'm sure you're right, because that's the general attitude they operate with in that industry, but I was a server for six years and most of my friends still are, and it's totally unheard of for a server to end the night below minimum wage. I've never known a server to come away with less than kitchen staff and the norm was much higher. A really bad night at a cheap buffet was 60 in five hours. If it was slower than that servers and kitchen staff would just be sent home.
Promise.all is one among potentially many Promise combinators someone may wish to use with an array of Promises. (Promise.race is another. There are others, especially as you expand out into the Observable space.)

One example for Promise.race might be a Promise to get data from a cache and another from an HTTP call and you don't care which returns the data, you just want whichever is fastest. Your HTTP call might eventually update your cache and "repaint/recalculate" somehow down the line. That HTTP call still might be "faster" than your cache if the cache hasn't been populated yet and is waiting for data to arrive.
DDG originally detailed the extent to which this collaboration existed. They described a DDG-owned and operated server that is accessible only to DDG, but which was required to have a yahoo.com domain in order to use services of Yahoo.

Now, I cannot find this information on their website. Perhaps they got rid of that collaboration (now that Verizon owns Yahoo)?

Forget slack - look at hipchat which has far simpler privacy controls. The ability to create an organization (NOT linked to GitHub), per channel permissions is all that's needed. Hipchat makes this dead simple.

Lots of different people will have different requirements - some people will need Active Directory even, but essentially the only two things needed for enterprise messaging is permissions and search.
Hi elvinyung, we have three cases (1) chunks from the same hypertable are effectively UNIONized (not JOIN) when collecting results. (2) If JOINING 2 hypertables we have an upcoming feature of allowing the user to specify two hypertables as colocated, which will put chunks for same time/space partition on same node. Otherwise we will transfer the smaller of the chunks across the network (pretty much the usual join logic. (3) For joining a hypertable with a regular table, the regular tables is fetched if it does not exists locally. We will have an option to materialize regular tables across nodes (great if the table is small and read-only).
Vegetarianism is not about making sure animals have good lives, it's about not eating them or participating in the intentional destruction of them by humans as much as possible. Stopping nature from taking its course in the world outside of human action is not a concern of vegetarians. Moving them to farms seems to be something very much against what a vegetarian would do.
Welcome to the disinformation superhighway.
Seems similar to the various Simcity designs. I wish it was available in a form we could interact with. When designing simulations like this of real life, among other problems the initial conditions are hard to generate since real cities grow in historical contexts, not at some recent starting point. I assume the initial conditions probably result in a fairly unpredictable and chaotic end state.
Ah yes, a world led by 4chan. What a utopia that would be!
You can't await something that isn't a promise like an array. You should get a TypeError.
> Our best shot at surviving the great filter is been spread out enough that when someone goes "Ooops" and levels wherever they are there are other self-sufficient humans far enough away to survive.

This idea of compartmentalization is a strong argument against globalism. "Oops"es in government, society, and culture can be just as deadly.

> From the abstract: "Ethical consequentialist vegetarians believe that farmed animals have lives that are worse than non-existence."

This article assumes that people are vegetarians because they are sad for farm animals... Absolutely untrue. The largest concentrated majority of vegetarians in the world are vegetarians for religious reasons, under the belief that eating animals is an act of violence we have a moral responsibility to avoid.

As someone in that area, I can +1 this for sure. Every young person wants to work in FiDi or Midtown, but I see tons of junior job listings even in the close-in bits of NJ and Long Island that don't get touched because, "who wants to go to Jersey?".
The way I read the article the police are asking for people who searched for a name that they have found is associated with pictures that were used in the attempted fraud. It sounds to me like they have done their digging and want to know who searched these terms to do further investigation.
Given what you said, is it even worth having a conversation with someone who has gone out there to such an extent? If we are talking about science, where one can present evidence from which hypothesis can be re-verified by anyone, how do you deal with someone who just refuses to disconnect from their delusion for even a moment?

As an atheist I have had some interesting conversations with what I would characterize as "intense believers". I have friends who are Born Again Christians. I have endured intense verbal poundings of all kinds at their hands. I even had a case where one of them was yelling and screaming at me in the middle of a parking lot at midnight because I was going on a business trip to Amsterdam the next day and he felt I needed to kneel down and accept Jesus that very minute or I would surely go to hell and condemn my whole family just for setting foot on that city. Nice guy and all, but holy crap!

BTW, I have never done the opposite and tried to convince a believer to become an atheist.

When do you think someone is so far gone that an attempt to engage based on reason is futile?
Yeah, I get that. Farming, especially modern methods, are pretty horrific.

I've been reducing meat in my diet and eat vegetarian a couple of days a week. I try to buy ethically raised meat for other days.

What I was reacting to is the idea that it is some how not an effort to be vegan, as if it isn't any more work than stopping off at MickyD's on the way home ...
Despite all the vitriol about Twitter ads, those are probably my favourite ads on the internet since they tend to be software/security related, rather than the buy a car crap I get on Hulu, and I'm quite happy to get ads for things I might actually care about.
Wow, there are so many reasons this is a terrible idea.

1. It doesn't actually solve the problem it sets out to solve (crosswind landings). To the contrary, a circular runway guarantees that if you have any wind at all then you will have a crosswind at some point in the landing. Not only that, but the apparent wind direction will be constantly shifting during the landing, making the landing even more difficult than a normal crosswind landing.

2. Flying in a circle at a low airspeed and at low altitude is absolutely the single most dangerous thing you can do in an airplane. When you are flying in a circle, the outboard wing is moving faster than the inboard wing, and so if you are flying close to stall speed the inboard wing will stall first, resulting in a spin. It is possible to recover from a spin but you have to descend in order to do it. If the spin starts at low altitude there is nowhere to descend to, so you will crash. Spins on approach to landing are one of the leading causes of fatal crashes in small general aviation aircraft.

3. Airport approach and departure procedures are designed around the fact that runways are aligned in particular directions.

I strongly recommend you use Keras if you are new to Tensorflow. The API abstractions will make testing your network ideas a breeze. It won't save you from the hell of building TF, but should save you loads of time with implementation and testing.
Oh, in that case we don't even need parallel construction anymore. Why bother, if it doesn't matter how you got your evidence then any evidence is good.

Just use whatever dragnet method you already have in place and phone it in. Subpoena google for all searches done in all cities and go round up the folks whose searches match the names of the victims.

I'm sure your going to get a fantastic conviction rate.

A society like that already existed: It was called East Germany and petty crime there was nearly non-existent. What crime there was was mostly corruption and went unpunished (who will watch the watchers).

Former East Germans seem to prefer the society they have right now.

The cookbook Zahav doesn't mince words:

- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 6 onions, thinly sliced
- Warm the oil over low heat in a large skillet or pot. Add a pinch of salt.
- Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are almost spreadably soft. About 3 hours.

No shortcuts, just take the time. Caramelized onions freeze and keep very well, so just stick them in some small tupperware in the freezer and defrost and use as needed. Much easier than trying to rush it 'on-demand' for a particular recipe.

The idea is to always use your drive with encryption from the start, so that no "plaintext" data is ever written, ever. When your physical garbage collection happens, rekey or reformat.

Depending on the drive, this is pretty easy. TCG OPAL drives are required to write encrypted data to the media 100% of the time. Seems that you can rekey the drive easily:

Sure, but that's still drastically different than in the US. With little exception, you're expected to pay an 18-20% tip just for the base level of service. Paying less than 15% -- even for mediocre or poor service -- is considered cheap and shameful.

To compare apples to apples, in a sandwich/coffee place in the US you're still expected to tip the standard amount, even if your change from a cash payment falls short. And not tipping at all in those situations is considered bad form.

I'd say the European system is far preferable, but I like Japan the best: a taxi driver would be nearly offended if you tried to tip them. I had one get out of the car and nearly chase me down because I got out before taking my 30 yen in change.

Just charge what it costs to provide a living wage and don't require or expect a tip, ever. Remove the social stigma associated with being cheap for not tipping. In the US, eliminate the comically-low minimum wage for tipped staff, and make them pay the regular minimum wage. To ease the transition, reduce payroll taxes for such businesses (tips aren't subject to payroll taxes) so they don't have to jack up prices 30+% to compensate. I know this will never happen here, but I can hope...
Where do you get the proof they knew the searches took place at all? What if someone used 'Bing' or 'Scroogle' or 'DuckDuckGo' (or in a bind: Yahoo!), or already knew the person?
so this is more like the police asking 7-11 for the security footage of anyone who bought a red bull, loaf of bread and six pack of beer in the city over the past month. If this request was made it would be insane for 7-11 to have to go through their footage and figure it out. Why should it be any different because google could do it more quickly? It is not google's job to find suspects for a case it is the police's job to find suspects

The problem, IMO, is introduced when Google tries to provide definitive answers for questions that don't have definitive answers. To be sure, there are lots of questions that have definitive answers that would correctly satisfy 99% of searchers (what is the speed of sound, what is the height of the Empire State Building, etc.).

Then there are questions that require explanation and don't have a binary correct/incorrect answer. Even with the question serving as the example for this article: "How long does it take to caramalize onions?" Well sure, the author cited in this article adamantly claims it takes much more than ten minutes. But does it? Maybe there are equally or more qualified people who say that under normal circumstances and a certain heat level it doesn't take more than ten minutes to caramalize an onion. Who is right? I don't think Google can parse the available information to provide a "correct" response, and shouldn't try to.

So to me a better solution would be to categorize queries based on whether they can be answered definitively and, if they cannot, don't attempt to.
Thanks, we completely agree!

Right now, the incentives in the charity sector are totally screwed. The charities which get the biggest are the ones with the best marketing, not the ones which have the most impact. That means that big charities often hide their mistakes and focus on maintaining a wholesome image.

In contrast, many of the organizations we work with regularly publish their mistakes and lessons. By sharing this kind of information, the whole sector can learn and improve. In particular, GiveWell (http://www.givewell.org/about/our-mistakes) has a great page listing their mistakes.

We've been especially impressed with charities like New Incentives, who realised that the original target population they were trying to serve (pregnant women with HIV) wasn't big enough, so they pivoted to focus on incentivizing mothers to vaccinate their children so that they could gather more evidence and have an even bigger impact.

With EA Funds, donors pick which problems they want their donation to solve, and we find the best giving opportunities. We will fund both new start-up style charities and larger more validated approaches. We will fund charities which have run failed programs in the past, provided that they have updated their approach.
