So does TurboTax. Every time I've used that product, the IRS actually sent me a letter back saying "you calculated your taxes wrong, here's some extra money we owe you."

Never had that problem when using TaxAct, and I usually got a bigger refund too.

If we are at the point where Amazon is being compared to quality at Fry's, things have gotten really bad. Fry's has so many issues with returns, etc. and just slapping them back on the shelf.
In this case, the police refused to give him any information after the fact, forcing him to hire a lawyer. The police only apologised after a lawyer got involved, not after they realised that they had arrested the wrong man. Additionally only having an IP address to go on, they chose to arrest him (I'm assuming because he's a man) rather than the person whose name was on the account.

So, the penalty shouldn't be for a mistake. The penalty should be for trying to cover up the mistake over years, and for profiling him based on zero supporting evidence.

A double check before arrest someone could be enough.
Just randomly googling "ternarization deep learning" lead me to this article from ICLR 2017 https://openreview.net/pdf?id=r1fYuytex which in turn seem to reference further work in the area.
> how much is that? How much should Amazon pay? Would you support the same penalty if your local bookseller was found to have purchased a batch of counterfeits?

No, Amazon is a huge multinational company, selling 1000s of this crap every singe day. Can you say the same about your local bookseller, moving 20 books in total a day?
I've found Kayak's app to be pretty useful + up to date for tracking flights. You can input a flight number, or search for flights based on departure and arrival airport. I haven't found any other app that reacts to delays or gate changes as quickly. I believe they get their data by aggregating a lot of individual sources (https://www.quora.com/How-does-Kayak-get-all-information-fro...)

In my high school we learned Pascal first. OOP Pascal Second. C++ third. and C last. I am forever grateful to have learned programming in this order. It has enabled me to jump into any language and just "get things done".
It's not like Tavis is creating these bugs. He's merely pointing out that the emperor has no clothes. Quite a socially awkward situation for town folk who've been living as if the clothes are wonderful.

Additionally, in general and as is the case here, the bugs aren't in some nice kid's hobby project. It's not like he's pointing out that grandma's blog has XSS vulnerabilities. These are security products, which often seem like snake oil instead. If anything we need more stigma against people and products who claim strong security but turn out to be shams, providing only security theater.

Some things just need much more expertise to do than others. You wouldn't want a hobbyist designing your local nuclear reactor, nor performing your heart surgery. Similar standards should be in place for computer security. Accepting security systems that were hacked together like another CMS will lead to our digital lives being on a foundation of straw.
This issue shouldn't be of "data entry", the IP should have been registered by software not someone typing it using a number pad; what this tells me is that they don't have the most basic safety checks in order to avoid mistakes; I bet part of the problem is that they are more likely to use their gov funds in new patrol cars than in proper TDD software.
It's crazy how many things we use today were inspired by something Leah did. She also seems like a pretty cool person from the stories I've heard. Hope this becomes her first massive success.
It's Poison, a hex package for Elixir. It blows up if you try to parse a number somewhere between "1e308" and "1e309". That is a limitation of the Elixir standard lib. Elixir doesn't try to handle that in a special way, it just raises and exception. I'd love to see something like a BigFloat, or an plug-in hook giving you the option to not explode if you didn't want to.

In Ruby, when you parse "1e309" with the built in JSON gem, you get "Infinity". That drives me bonkers, too :)

Honestly, why do we expect privacy on a public road?

This is the best summary I've read (not that I've read much) but it really puts things in perspective.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm going to try to summarize to make sure I understand:

The properties of protons, neutrons, and electrons that make them unique/distinct from each other (mass, electric charge) arise from the composition of each out of smaller particles, which each are/carry/act as the respective mass + charge + the other properties.

Is there any theory as to what this "looks" like? Or is the best we can do "it's a bunch of these things mashed together and the only way to see them individually is to bash them together until they break"?

If the strong and weak forces are particles, does that mean they're 1: literally everywhere, not necessarily stuck to any larger particle and 2: like glue?

I'm also confused about the relationship between gravity and mass, given that the higgs is stated as corresponding to mass, mass is traditionally thought of as what gravity acts upon, but the wikipedia chart states that gravity acts upon all particles.

What a rabbit hole...

This is a very good point. There seems to be no coverage of whether the actual perpetrator was ever caught.

We employ and compensate the police, admins and fund the judicial system, at least partly in order to serve as a deterrent to criminals. If our system has a high percentage of false positives or punishes innocent people then that reduces the efficacy of the system as a deterrent.

I'm reminded of this exchange between a journalist and a British justice minister where the minister seems incapable of understanding that punishing people who turned out to be innocent isn't an effective system.

I'm not really concerned about the exhaust heat. There's a decent amount of clearance, and the fans are gonna be way stronger than convective currents. Since it's also at the bottom of the stairs, it also sits in what is usually the coolest part of my apartment.

If I need more support while handling shoes, I just sit on the stairs or lean against the wall or hold on to the railing. In other words, there are an abundance of anchor points that aren't free standing.

And thanks for the kind words. This is the first thing I've fabricated out of wood in years. It was very satisfying to finally finish it - metaphorically, as it's not actually stained or sealed.

Do you qualify as an accredited investor?

https://www.investor.gov/additional-resources/news-alerts/al...

If so and if you don't want to fully commit, simply register yourself as an accredited investor (= private business angel). Then browse around for early stage and promising startups working on a topic you care about. Go to angel.co or crunchbase. Contact them saying you'd like to invest $10-$15K in seed in exchange for some shares. Repeat until you get a fish. You'll get higher chances of success compared to putting all your eggs in one basket. That's what Tim Ferriss, Chris Sacca, etc. did when they started as investors...

The good part is that you'd become an advisor and would interact weekly/monthly with the co-founders to share your vision, etc.

FWIW, there are services in the US that allow you to do this. I've done it with Wells Fargo, for instance. It might not be as standardized as in some other places, though, and I agree with your general frustration over the state of banking and financial transaction practices in the US.

This is where Amazon loses out for me. I've started buying things on sites devoted to that item - a camera and lenses on FredMiranda, flashlights on Candlepower forums (highly recommend it for flashlights), and so on.
People are buying large quantities of very expensive GPUs just to do some matrix manipulations, so why not FPGAs?

But the point is that you don't have that much FPGA-specific code - once someone does the matrix manipulations and the proper integration, everyone else can just run e.g. tensorflow code on it faster and/or cheaper without specific expertise; if a FPGA vendor can do this one-time investment in software tools, then they can compete for a slice of the large pie of hardware revenue that nvidia now has for itself.
I think it is more about how efforts in the software community come in finite amount and it fell pointless and damaging to waste so much of it of unsatisfactory language. If i learned of a esteemed professor choosing to publish their latest research in Italian i would be honored, but I would also consider i a terrible idea.
Similarly I came up with some aliases long ago in my git config:

weekend-more = log --all --abbrev-commit --date-order --date=relative --since='three days ago' -p -w
The police don't care what the taxpayers have to shell out, it just means sitting through some angry lectures but basically they are no worse. I think compensation for victims of police misconduct should come out of police pensions.
It's actually not right in my culture at all; it's blindingly obviously wrong.
"I'm basically getting a week of groceries free every month"

Many people would get this kind of screwup one time, and then they would stop ordering.

The story said disappointed customers would return moldy strawberries. That's if Amazon was lucky. Scores more would simply never shop again.

I stopped ordering groceries online after a few small mishaps. This service saves me no time if I have to deal with screwups.
It's a handy tool, that's for sure! Funny story about it though - when I took it to the maker space where I could use some tools, the two older guys who help run it scoffed at me for using OpenSCAD - they're used to graphical - and admittedly easier to use - tools. They pointed me at another tool they liked called On Shape, but I haven't done much with it. I feel more at home with OpenSCAD for now.
In Northern Ireland they ask for one's religion in the context of a job application. Over there it's the Catholics that have traditionally been the targets of discrimination and the Protestants are the ruling caste. That's how the HR guy explained it.

It's understandable, the new "Middle Eastern" category. You do ask yourself how a person of Jewish extraction would answer the question, though. "Jew" isn't a race on the census right now, even though antisemitism was a thing in the US up until WW II.

Having a father who was a surgeon (and quite good), I have enough real life feedback to say that apprenticeship/internship in medecine may matter more than the years of theoretical studies that actually are used mostly for selecting the «right persons».

Not to say theoretical education worth naught, I say there is a cursor that is way tilted in favour of theory that costs less and make universities earn more.

Let's call it a corporatism behaviour.

You don't want a surgeon that was good at school, you want a surgeon that when his hospital is poor will use his earning to buy medical reviews to stay up to date, say fuck to the hospital and take unpaid vacations to go in conferences to stay up to date.

You want a surgeon that don't care about his diploma, or the titles but stay focused on his craft and will go on learning without caring for what society legally requires him to do in order to practice.
I agree a bit, in haskell for example it is not always easy to figure out the computation order, it is about tradeoff and go looks too much on the simpler side.
I think the first language course should not be any single language but a language sampling course. Students learn the concept of variables, switches, loops and subroutines, then they learn how it is used in all common languages. And for homework, they are allowed to pick their favorite.

For starting programmers, language is not important, concepts are. Any specific language will skew the concept.
Nothing kills a beginner's interest more than "you need to have a class and a main method, always, and I can't explain why, just trust me, you'll understand later."

Java was my first language. No one explained any of that stuff to me. And for whatever reason I lacked the agency to go figure it out for myself although I had internet access. Probably because I assumed paying attention in class and doing my homework was enough.
What industry are you with?
I agree with your view point. Although why are you in the CS class? If you're only interested in just getting the job done the fastest?

From a practicality stand point of view using bash, batch files, nodejs, python is going to be faster second to none, I'm not discussing that. The point is using a low level language you have to consider about decoding the jpg, memory allocation or possible streaming issues. Optimal buffer size and command prompt parameters to parse from the command line to resize the image. All tangibly relate to other fields in the curriculum and when you get a job the field.
I am simply writing the words of the people who deliver the on-line goods.

EDIT: My point was that Fresh is addictive. Not the words I hear each day. Amazon Prime is addictive. And Fresh is too. There are some real quality problems Fresh has to solve w.r.t. delivery. They have to match their parcel perfection where virtially never the contents are damaged (their cardboard is outstanding). But those green 'things' simply rip, tear, turn over, and are expected to be reused. Once people start Fresh they seem to keep it going, from what I have seen.

Standing in our office each day the conversation is NOT about the convenience whatsoever. I toned down the language, in fact.

When a person gets a roll of paper towels or a case of soda or diapers it is the same thing: Or a car seat or a snow blower or dog food (especially dog food) anything that used to be picked up at a store. Nobody says, "Wow, look at this great service we provide our patrons. I am so glad we deliver things they use to buy at Walmart." No way. If you think that you have never been in a delivery job for your entire life.

We don't get paid any more to delivery the new on-line goods. Not one cent more. Fresh has some additional requirements that make them a really awful delivery.

I would not call you lazy, but 75% or more of my office would. Actually I have never heard one person ever say a positive thing about delivering stuff people can get themselves at a store.

If you think your delivery person (USP, USPS, FEDEX Ground) is ambivalent then think again. Perhaps they are pleased there is more business, but they also deserve to earn more for the increase in parcel delivery.

I speak from an insiders view.

Oh - and no carrier will admit this because it may impact their holiday tip.
Most people here are completely missing the point. It's a $4.99 coffee table, available at every Ikea worldwide. You're telling me you shouldn't put your "high-value hardware" inside a four dollar and ninety nine cent coffee table? Wow, I'm super surprised!

It is helpful for a lot of people though. I know a handful of people myself who have no rack whatsoever, just putting the unit on the floor or on a desk. For them, this is a massive upgrade that costs less than a sandwich, looks nice, and boosts airflow.

Is it marginally more dangerous than spending a ridiculous amount of money on a rack? Sure. Did Ikea specifically design these as server racks? Obviously not. It's a hack. We're on Hacker News.
An interesting aspect of this story that nobody else picked up on:

> The IP address passed on corresponded to an internet account held by Nigel's partner. But it had been typed incorrectly, with an extra digit added by mistake.

So he himself wasn't even the owner of that account. He just happened to have been living in his partner's home. So, why specifically was he targeted even with the wrong IP?

Is this what law enforcement has become? Rounding up the first male of age in the vicinity of a crime? I'm just saying, not only did they have the wrong home but even then they had absolutely no basis even within that home (since obviously no evidence was found during the search), but his life was absolutely ruined.

You're right, there are some pretty arcane telnet options floating around out there, whose implementations are open to (mis)interpretation...

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc748

NWG/RFC# 748, M. Crispin, 1 April 1978

Telnet Randomly-Lose Option

1. Command name and code.

RANDOMLY-LOSE 256

2. Command meanings.

IAC WILL RANDOMLY-LOSE

The sender of this command REQUESTS permission to, or confirms
that it will, randomly lose.

IAC WON'T RANDOMLY-LOSE

The sender of this command REFUSES to randomly lose.

IAC DO RANDOMLY-LOSE

The sender of this command REQUESTS that the receiver, or grants
the receiver permission to, randomly lose.

IAC DON'T RANDOMLY-LOSE

The command sender DEMANDS that the receiver not randomly lose.

3. Default.

WON'T RANDOMLY-LOSE

DON'T RANDOMLY-LOSE

i.e., random lossage will not happen.

4. Motivation for the option.

Several hosts appear to provide random lossage, such as system
crashes, lost data, incorrectly functioning programs, etc., as part
of their services. These services are often undocumented and are in
general quite confusing to the novice user. A general means is
needed to allow the user to disable these features.

5. Description of the option.

The normal mode does not allow random lossage; therefore the system
is not allowed to crash, mung user files, etc. If the server wants
to provide random lossage, it must first ask for permission from the
user by sending IAC WILL RANDOMLY-LOSE.

If the user wants to permit the server to randomly lose, it replys
with IAC DO RANDOMLY-LOSE. Otherwise it sends IAC DONT
RANDOMLY-LOSE, and the server is forbidden from randomly losing.

Alternatively, the user could request the server to randomly lose, by
sending IAC DO RANDOMLY-LOSE, and the server will either reply with
IAC WILL RANDOMLY-LOSE, meaning that it will then proceed to do some
random lossage (garbaging disk files is recommended for an initial
implementation). Or, it could send IAC WONT RANDOMLY-LOSE, meaning
that it insists upon being reliable.

Since this is implemented as a TELNET option, it is expected that
servers which do not implement this option will not randomly lose;
ie, they will provide 100% reliable uptime.

I'm Canadian too, living in the state, and I've come to learn the culture is quite different. Not sure you can really compare them, at least in regard to the article. The education system is vastly different between both countries.
Happy to help!

On partitioning - sounds like a great candidate for sharding. BigQuery standard SQL makes it very easy to run unions on shards (ex. Select * from tables_*)

On pricing - BigQuery is a very different product functionally, and I encourage you to compare it via a poc. That said, definitely reach out to me on price.
And the thesis of this article is that SQL is overwhelmingly the more versatile and better choice.
Probably sounds bizarre, but when I was setting up my home office, I didn't really have time to go out and look for chairs. I decided just to use a $10 stool until I could find a chair that I really liked. 2 years later, I love the stool :-) I have to think about posture, but I'm convinced that the complete lack of support has helped strengthen my core. I don't really want to go back to a normal chair.
