Great point.

Also, I think a problem is one person can only send one like.

Returning to my example, I'd like to be able to give the litter picker 20 likes, and maybe the Selfie uploader 1 like.

Freakonomics talked about the decline of crime in the 90s as being directly attributed to rise of abortion.

Basically, offsprings from poverty or low socio economic statuses tend to grow up without education and exposed to violence and dysfunctional families with parents who are likely uneducated and addicted to substances.

Growing up without fathers, young men adopt gang culture as a surrogate for the lack of positive role models.

It makes perfect sense that in the 90s there were lot less would be criminals (not by choice but genetic, environmental and socioeconomic factors) being born.

The financial burden on divorced men with children is far too skewed in benefiting divorced women in North America. My fear is children being born from this generation of turbulent and unstable familial organization as the middle class slowly erodes and job security disappears due to automation.
UWP?

EDIT - I should clarify. I google UWP and it could be Universal Windows Platform. If so, how is that different than the windows builds that Rust does support?

They wouldn't, necessarily, be able to dump fuel. Most modern short to mid-haul aircraft like all of the Boeing 737's and the Airbus 320 series don't have a fuel dump system. It's only long-range twin-jets that are likely to have a fuel dump system and in some cases that's actually depending on what the customer ordered.

> (a) A fuel jettisoning system must be installed on each airplane unless it is shown that the airplane meets the climb requirements of §§25.119 and 25.121(d) at maximum takeoff weight, less the actual or computed weight of fuel necessary for a 15-minute flight comprised of a takeoff, go-around, and landing at the airport of departure with the airplane configuration, speed, power, and thrust the same as that used in meeting the applicable takeoff, approach, and landing climb performance requirements of this part.

At that point you start getting into "why not just build a space elevator?" territory. If it's just trailing into LEO, the first stage doesn't even need to make orbit to get to GTO. That makes recovery way easier as well as increasing the payload massively.

A space elevator of that type is within current technology, and while the cost is obviously higher than a "taxi", the benefits are as well. In answer to your question you could just eat the cost problem and use a really big battery + a large number of taxis, and accept that they will have slow recharges.

NB that there will be a complication with launch windows with both a taxi and a space elevator. You have to be limited more closely to orbital times without a second stage. My personal favorite is still an orbital loop- put a huge superconducting filament in orbit around the earth, then hang tethers from magnetic bearings. There is almost no tensile stress on the loop, so no need for fancy carbon nanotubes- it just needs a sufficient superconductor and enough mass to stay in a stable orbit.

The downsides are of course that the power requirements are staggering, the cost of getting that mass to space is staggering (although much cheaper than a space elevator), and if power fails the tethers fall down (safe but inconvenient).

Edit: as for the RTG- the power, even with these improvements, is waaaaaaaaaay too low. This is a 25% improvement, to RTGs which are in the hundreds of watts and weight hundreds or thousands of kg. VASIMR systems use tens of kW. It also is not possible to make many more RTGs, and certainly not very large ones- they are remnants of cold war nuclear power-building. It is immensely expensive to produce these isotopes. Each one is a work of international diplomacy and bureaucratic art.

It would not be possible to make them hundreds or thousands of times larger, which would be required to be comparable to rockets. Not to mention, these are still filled with radioactive material.

Email-to-printer is a built-in feature on many high-end printers already (HP calls it ePrint), and it's easy enough to glue together some software (fetchmail --python/whatever glue--> cups) and package it up as a distro for the raspberry pi 3 (with its built-in wifi and regular usb ports). Plug Twilio in and now the system can also receive faxes.

If you have lots of friends in the restaurant business and am itching to get into sales, there's a cottage-industry that fits between a $50 on-sale inkjet printer, and $1000 high-end HP, but it includes on-site installation, configuration, and support.

It would probably make sense to talk about the density of each chip here. 16Gbit DDR4 is already in the spec though it is not being made yet.`
To Canonical/Nvidia defense, while they do remove support for older chips, they always do that in major updates. You, as the user, can avoid this by using nvidia-<number> package, not the nvidia-current one.

I have a machine, that has GPU supported in nvidia-340, but no later driver. Ubuntu only updates to the newer -340 packages, it does not skip to the highest possible number available.

And would _any_ past governor of California be a good candidate for President of the USA?

I think about making an effort to loosely couple from the start as building in flexibility, which is useful precisely because "Often you don't even know what the problem is." Flexibility isn't a commitment to any particular abstraction of the solution, on the contrary it's the ability to dump any abstractions that you care to later on with less fuss. (Of course, you can still be unwise and decouple or create modules in ways that commit you to more than you realized.)

We agree that placeholder code shouldn't commit you to too much, but there are patterns that help you with that.

In the parent, the original decoupling turned out to be less performant (I take it) but wouldn't hinder completing the first draft or get in the way of a rewrite with closer coupling.

Could one lase accelerated probe, slow another probe behind it down?
I remember reading on HN a article on small probes, that could be accelerated to near 0.25 c with lasers. My Question is- could one such probe, aim a laser on a probe behind it, and slow it down?
First of, there is. These NN are good at exploiting the 'spatiality prior' in some types of data, like text and images. It means that features in the data which are close together, should be combined when you climb in the hierarchy of features. Databases with columns and rows don't have that prior for instance.

Second, there is also the peer reviewing problem. You are still trying to explain a very abstract concept to your peers in a paper which is usually limited to 6 or 8 pages. Text and images make for very graspable examples in such a short paper. That's the reason why some other data with a spatial prior is not used as often, like time series or EEG-data.

So, there is a combination of those two elements at play.

This is super exciting. Because of this, I started looking into Spohn's paper as well as yours. I need to finish reading your paper, and then I'd love to ask how you went from the theory to the algorithm. I'd love to understand what would be involved with porting it to a functional language (Rust most likely, which could help you in terms of making it embeddable in most any other language, for those that do not use Java).

Thank you for your great work!
LastPass Exploit Shows That Last Password You Made Probably Wasn't Your Last
Yup! That "something wrong" is installing every single kernel update for two, three, four years and not deleting any of the old kernels.

Polished as in window animations, tastefully done transparent windows by default on hardware that support it, snappy application menu, desktop and file manager icons that conforms to grid, black title bar with white fonts is a too strong to name a few.

In my opinon, There must be one release tailored towards UI improvements among the three releases that leads to LTS preferably as the one that follows LTS because there is a solid platform to build upon and there is enough time to iron out UI bugs in the next LTS.
> How much will it cost?

Good thing it's funded by someone who has lots and lots of money!

> Lets throw away the last 20 years development on the linux kernel by thousands of people, and rewrite our own.

To suggest that linux is as good as it gets is a mistake. Operating systems are challenging to write, but certainly not impossible. If you're Google, you see big security risks involved in Linux's design. Google tries to mitigate some of those by funding oss-fuzz and a ton of other great options that narrow the opportunity for exploits. But what if you could write your own OS and make particular security guarantees as a design goal?

Google has already designed and/or reimplemented almost every aspect of the OS excluding the OS kernel.

The biggest drawback for starting a new OS is generally the cost of porting existing software to the new OS.
I wish I could do all those things while standing. I do have to look at how the driver is driving to anticipate jerky movements if I want to keep my balance.

The problem is companies will hire the most able-bodied first. Marginal people like the ones in this article will be the last to be hired--and that means in a less than robust economy they simply won't be hired, period.

As far as I'm concerned our definition of disability is wrong. If your maladies mean nobody is willing to hire you, you're disabled regardless of whether there's a job that you could be at least marginally productive at.

The Bottom Turtle of Secrets Management in the Cloud
I love biking to work, but being able to do that consistently depends as much on the amenities at your office as it does on the distance from your work. Unless you live in Sacramento, or some other place with nearly perfect weather, you are either going to need a locker room and shower at work, or you will need to drive whenever it is snowing or raining.

That being said, my commute time has gone from 30 minutes a day to an hour a day as the areas in between where I work and where I live have become more popular. It's a large part of why I'm considering a new job. The commute to work isn't bad, about 20 minutes or so, but the commute home can be more than twice that. The added commute has definitely made me a less happy person in general, due to things like added stress, less free time, etc.

Edit: I live in Chicago, and looking at the data the only place that has a slower average speed is Miami. I think the higher than expected satisfaction is from the reasonably good public transit. I'd be much happier if my commute allowed me to easily take the L to work. I'd be interested in seeing individual results from within the city though. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a binomial distribution of some kind.

Is this not just an underdetermined question?

Isn't the loss of objectivity just a result of the question having more degrees of freedom than it does constraints, and the subjectivity just comes from picking which constraints to assume? Doesn't a well defined goal turn that question into a positive question?

A simpler example could be, "is it better for me to build a bridge over a highway out of cardboard or out of steel?"

It's superficially normative but becomes a positive question as soon as you define the constraint that a bridge that no one needlessly dies while walking across is better than one that kills people.

At that point all of these questions become scientifically approachable, although some are likely still hopelessly complex, as soon as you assume an axiom like, "it is best to maximize the ratio of well being over conscious suffering."

What that axiom should actually be is likely a nearly unapproachably complex amalgamation of philosophy, but it seems more reasonable to work with something than assume that there is no right answer, especially when we seem to be rapidly approaching the point of needing to have software systems make quick ethical decisions.

School is to learning as hospital is to health.
If you were paranoid, you might think that the 'fake news' push served two objectives:

1. As a psyops to stop the potentially very damaging allegations against powerful senior Washington DC political operatives on the eve of an important election.

2. To repair the damage to the mainstream press, who were steadily losing paid readership.

Both of these objectives have been successfully achieved however you perceive it.

Meanwhile the mainstream press is flooded with click bait advertising while at the same time pushing 'we are the only credible, trusted news source' messaging to readers, along with begging requests for funding so they can continue with their work.

The reality is that investigative 'reporters' were either let go or resigned in disgust from the MSM around the time blogging became a viable means of disseminating writing and making money.

We are now in an era of crack downs on free speech and debate: it will be interesting to se whether the mainstream mastheads can regain their 'trusted voice' relationship with large numbers of readers, or whether there will be an increase in cynicism and mistrust. Pravda, the old Soviet newspaper/mouthpiece comes to mind.

Phrack seized by the FBI
I've been using this for years. I believe it only keeps one old kernel version though, not two like you requested. Tested and working for weekly use since 12.04 though 16.04:

echo $(dpkg --list | grep linux-image | awk '{ print $2 }' | sort | sed -n '/'`uname -r`'/q;p') $(dpkg --list | grep linux-headers | awk '{ print $2 }' | sort -n | sed -n '/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\([0-9.-]*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/q;p') | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge
This is pretty common in "downtowns" of small-to-medium size towns in Indiana.
Seeing how many people here are defending the FBI really makes me question if HN is still the place it used to be and if it is a place that I want to continue in. I have noticed a large increase here in apeasers of totalitarian approaches to software and hardware over the last few years.

What ever happend to the hacker spirit of freedom of knowledge, information, data, and the ability to write and read code as you see fit? I still see an agreement on GPLv3 now and then, but HN is increasingly seeming more infected by silicon valley business types who want to pretend to be hackers and don't understand or subscribe to the core concepts that enabled the computing revolution in the first place.

FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop

HEADLINE: Officially supported i3 or equivalent

DESCRIPTION: i3 offers a vastly superior power-user usage experience, pretty much compared to anything else in the market. If Ubuntu would offer a properly configured/themed/integrated i3 desktop, I'd be happy to use it, because I've done enough pointless fine tuning for one lifetime. I'd be fine with some other tiling window manager too, as long as if it was at least as good as i3. I have doubts that this could be done properly with Unity, but I won't mind being surprised.

I'm in healthcare. I'm not kidding you, we got an 800 page fax last month from one of our clients. It wasn't a generated e-fax either, we received it electronically (we use sfax), but the lady who sent it literally printed 800 pages and put them on her fax machine.

It isn't the business opportunity that is the problem (that is huge), it is the all of the HIPAA/HITECH regulations which creep into every part of your business that is the limiting factor.

EVen so, this should be automatic. It is a horrible experience to install NVIDIA drivers on ubuntu. I am not sure the solution but we shouldn't sacrifice usability in the same of "open source"-ness.

It should be a check box on install to install NVIDIA drivers that are propreitary such that we do not get a black screen.

Anything but a black screen.
Luckily, deep learning is built on super complicated mathematical foundations, but the practice isn't. You could quickly get up to speed with a library like Keras and be productive, building things and trying them out without needing years of theoretical training. I'd highly recommend looking into it, most of the papers are relatively easy to read, and rely largely on empirical results and intuition, rather than deep theoretical proofs or the like.
The ads on your site are refreshing break of ads that are directly correlated with my last few google searches and it does seem like I could gain value out of those links if I was genuinely interested in the service you provide. Kudos

If you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you’ve launched too late. - Reid Hoffman, Founder, LinkedIn

We're getting ready to work on our version two of the product and we've already got our new design underway. However, I'd like to gauge your feedback so we can implement it in version 2.

Version 1, www.fastvenues.com.

Idea: you're hungry and you don't know what to eat you visit fastvenues.com and see restaurants around you that offer set-menu, meal deals. By booking and pre-paying through fastvenues.com you get the deal. The main value is that you know you're hungry and these set-menu's are what we recommend, so you won't have to choose from a huge menu we recommend what's best.

Feedback, open to any feedback that we can apply to version 2.

Thanks!
