I travelled to Spain in low season recently. For accommodation it doesn't hurt just to turn up, old school, without a booking.

Trivago have been blitzing our TV stations with ads, so I thought I'd give them a try. But their searches seemed just to redirect to booking.com so I couldn't see much value-adding.

Forget the 'only 2 left at this price' deception. I door knocked at a couple of places and they were half empty for the night - owners offered cheaper in cash than off a website! Now maybe this doesn't work in high season when everything is full but I found it liberating to stumble out randomly from a bus station to the tourist information centre who would plot for me on a map the best places to stay!

Do you really think damaging property belonging to other people is justified by bad grammar?
Why are people saying that social media is the problem? As far as I see, social media are just more effective at satisfying people's wants in their information consumption.

It's people's wants and preferences that are the problem. Everybody likes their echo chamber.
In my mind edible substances that last a long time are free of nutrients and high in calories, most of the time anyway.

I never buy UHT milk and try buying fresh, locally produced milk whenever I can find it. I never buy low fat milk either.

The difference in taste between fresh milk and these replacements is actually huge. I also don't get people buying the low fat variety either. If you're concerned about fat or cholesterol, it's better to drink less, high-quality milk, instead of milk-like liquids enriched with powdered milk, pork fat and dyes (the exact composition of these replacements varies by country, but it's always processed to the point that you can no longer classify it as being milk).
Intellectual property is complicated - there must be some patent that Apple would infringe anyway. Perhaps the one on breathing...

In my opinion, IT reaction is not wise. No matter if this comes after acquisition negotiation, or not, who is going to engage with IT in another long term partnership with such level of reaction? (not sure if it could be qualified as bullying or not)
Your preference might not change but your ability to accept the different taste of UHT may change.

I lived the first 25 years of my life in the UK and drank pasteurised milk almost exclusively and found the taste of UHT to be lesser.

I then lived in Poland for two years and drank UHT only.

At first I disliked the taste of UHT but over time I grew accustomed to it.

I am still able to tell the difference between pasteurised and UHT, I just no longer mind.

I find that for many things in life where there are similar but not exact variants, one tends to prefer the variant one first tried despite both variants being potentially equivalent.

Pasteurised milk vs UHT is one example. Margerine vs butter is another (I was raised on margerine and disliked butter for years). Windows vs Linux desktops (again, I was raised on the former and initially disliked the latter despite both being generally logically equivalent).

I have since learned to be more accepting of the differences in variants of food and tech. This seems to make life easier for me.
I think the most important point of this 'thought experiment' is that it reveals that email accounts are already your only defense.

Even if you use a different strong password for all sites, if a site offers a password forgot function your email account is still the weakest link.
Ummm No. It probably means more money on Apple's cash pile in Ireland.
If licensed to do so, that's how ARM works as far as I've known.
Time for ImgTech to go Linux/Mesa friendly maybe? With an open source graphic stack they could become a great choice for projects like Raspberry Pi and other hw manifacturers: imagine a Vulkan-ready linux laptop that combines a rpi Compute module with the graphic potential from their GPUs... Hope they would be this brave.
The keyword is without infringing its intellectual property rights. Sure, they certainly can design a GPU, but design it in a way that does not step on the toes of others? Especially when you learned from them? That's the difficult part.
None. Unless someone else is paying for it.
Choosing Professional Painters in West Vancouver for Your Home
This is a surprisingly accurate description of the general sort of debugging technique I've gotten better at as I get better at programming. I find that logically it tends to make more sense to me to start with a high-level function, and step over its component function calls/loops one by one, inspecting the program state and diving into any that seem to be producing strange results. But overall, I definitely just find it's a lot more effective to start from a broad 'does everything look okay at this point?' than from a narrow 'I think the problem is this'.

This part is called experience, I think.

Might the choice of pivots in your binary search be called a hypothesis? I suspect you and TFA are talking about similar approaches, but giving them different names.
Maybe if the author wasn't an arrogant jackass I would be more inclined to listen to him.
Well what's getting quite popular these days is the concept of a "loot box" which is where you spend some real money to get a box of unknown items.

When you open it you get a randomised, by whatever factors, set of items/powerups/whatevers. It adds a bit of a gambling aspect to it where a user might want to pay again to have another roll of the dice.

That's pretty easy to distinguish
Does anyone irradiate milk? I don't think the Mallard reaction would be present -- although, the milk proteinase would remain, but traditional pasteurization would be effective as an interim solution to deal with the unwanted enzymes.

AMD does not license to third parties, neither does Intel. Options (ignoring acquisition and design from scratch) are:

* NVidia's Tegra graphics cores, possibly (not clear whether they block-license let alone architecture-license to third parties)

* ARM's Mali, definitely licensable

* Broadcom's VideoCore, possibly

* Vivante, definitely licensable

* Qualcomm's Adreno, formerly Imageon, unlikely

> 'does everything look okay at this point?' than from a narrow 'I think the problem is this'.

Even in a small real world codebase with just a few tens of thousands of lines and a couple hundred possible user interactions, you need the intuition for "I think the problem is this" or you're gonna be there for the rest of the year stepping through the code. Once you've scoped the problem to a potential few tens of functions, then you can spelunk through it to find the exact issue.
You have to provide sources on what exactly you think conservatives claimed. Side note, the quote "reality has a well known liberal bias" is a bastardization of the quote "The facts of life are conservative" first made by Margaret Thatcher.
My mum used to buy pasteurised and when I moved out I mistakenly started buying UHT, not really caring for the difference. It doesn't taste worst at all. It tastes much sweater and actually tastes better in my opinion.
My idea for a saner more lispy ansible would be something like:

1) You define your configuration in (common lisp) s-expr's.

2) The configuration management system is a lisp program which reads the configuration defined in (1), generates bash code, uses ssh to contact the nodes to be configured and runs said bash code.

That would retain one of the big advantages of ansible, namely you don't need to have some agent running on each node, and you can leverage ssh for security/cert handling etc. And you don't need a lisp environment installed on the nodes either.

I love how passive aggressive this is – it shifts from "it's a shame Apple is leaving" to "we could sue them over it" pretty quickly towards the end. They imply it's difficult to do, but also that it's basically already complete... bizarre post to make public.

That was a rather oddly worded press release. Much more defensive than I would have expected and quite arrogant towards the end. They make it sound as if no other company on earth could do what they do which as we know does not usually work out well for those who claim such a thing.
This happened to my friend too. He was arguing for a new modem. They said no there was no problem. So he replaced it with a non-comcast modem and poof max speed.
Maybe "journalists" isn't the right word for them. It's closer to "comedians", I think. But there's a twisted way how lies can be tacitly acknowledged as lies. And yet considered truth. Not in a factual sense, but metaphorically, with a wink and a nod. In a word, lulz.
Imagination Tech Shares Plunge 69% After Apple Ends Chip Deal
What does HN think: Does it now make sense to invest in tesla or is the stock already inflated?
This doesn't come very surprising to me, as Apple has been in talks to acquire Imagination Technologies but has decided not to:
https://arstechnica.com/apple/2016/03/apple-acquire-imaginat...

I don't know the reason, but I suppose it is the same reason why they decided to build their own gpu independently. Apple also already own(s/ed?) a part of Imagination Technologies.
My favorite debugging trick (when faced with an 'impossible' bug) is to state my assumptions, it's usually clear when they're all laid out which ones are conflicting.
My understanding of the matter is the Apple GPU has had much of it developed in house for quite a while anyway (both on the SW and HW side). The only reason they didn't let go of Imagination earlier was presumably because they relied too much on their IP and patents.

Now I guess Apple have judged they no longer need Imagination and patents or more likely they are able to navigate the legal consequences successfully and the likely fines are less than the savings made (or worth it for the control Apple gains).

This announcement has been a long time coming and isn't particularly surprising.
It's because social media can deliver bullshit in a highly specific and targeted way. Only so many cable channels are possible.
From further down, "The company’s...IP...includes the key processing blocks needed to create the SoCs...that power all mobile, consumer and embedded electronics."
I've never heard of the company but my assumption is that they've patented some critical part of the assembly process which means Apple is relying on them.
It may be more understandable when you know that two dozen of their employees have left for Apple since 2015 (some highly placed), they're basically saying they believe Apple's internal GPU effort piggyback on Imagination's tech.

TTA-based Co-Design Environment (TCE): toolset for designing processors
My secret sauce to debugging is formulating hypotheses about what went wrong then instrument the software to validate the hypotheses. By instrumenting I am talking about manipulating running software to give me information.

Sometimes the manipulating step is made unnecessarily hard, and the trick is to force the hand. I see myself an inquisitor of software and use programmatic torture to get what I want to know. That's the central attitude to debugging.

The devil is in the details, there are many possibilities to get information: using a runtime debugger, insert output statements, read the logs, use LD_PRELOAD, use strace, and so on.

"With great power comes great responsibility".

The image part of docker is basically bundling application with its dependencies.

Personally I've rarely seen applications doing that properly. For example, I've seen many Java J2E .war web applications with half the libraries being 5 to 10 years old. I've also seen it in "binary" applications, like AV software, bundling old libxml or old OpenSSL version.

Classic distributions like Debian or RHEL spend a huge amount of time tracking security alerts, patching and putting in place update and notification mechanisms. And it's not an easy task.

Docker permits developers to easily control what they ship, specially the dependencies (the "great power" part), however, bundling your dependencies means you have to track them properly, update them regularly and monitor security issues in them (the "great responsibility" part).

The tooling and workflows to do the second part is still in its infancy. It's far better than one or two years ago but it still needs a huge amount of work.

By the way, the tool used for security scanning seems to only scan deb or rpm packages. It doesn't seem to handle components installed through language specific package manager like pip or npm, or manually installed libraries (plain old ./configure && make && make install). The actual picture may be even darker...

Probably not zombies, just miss identification of a deep coma. Especially during plague times, people knew to not linger near the dead and quickly get rid of them (a logical reason for the miss ID, rather than the normal stupidity people seem to think the ancestors had).

Disagree very much. Church attendance all over Europe is declining at a significant rate, and even among those still attending, the number of people who truly believe is dropping. And even among those few who still truly believe the general consensus is strongly in favour of science and the scientific method. Science not only has a fighting chance, it is dominating.
nVidia made similar claims against Samsung (and Qualcomm) a couple of years ago. A lot of folks speculated that Samsung would lose not only because nVidia is a leader in GPU business, but also because Samsung is a foreign company.

Long story short, nVidia lost. (https://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/01/07/nvidia_and_samsung_...)

Samsung initially asked Qualcomm to deal with it since nVidia was really going after Qualcomm's Adreno GPU used in Samsung's smartphones in the US. Qualcomm instead decided to sit back and twiddle their thumbs as nVidia filed lawsuits against Samsung (and Qualcomm). Many predicted Samsung would end up like Apple vs Samsung considering Qualcomm's political clout and jury bias in the US, but the USITC quickly put an end to Qualcomm's misadventure. Samsung countersued and won, and Obama couldn't be bothered to reverse USITC's opinion, impending import ban, against Qualcomm.

The rumors about Apple working on GPU cores internally long predate the Imagination "talks" (which were apparently rather shallow). In fact significant Imagination employees started leaving for Apple since at least 2015: Dave Roberts (senior design manager) left in October 2015[0] and Jonathan Redshaw (VP hardware engineering) left in November 2015[1]

Hey, I'm not saying there isnt an issue.

But every time I try and take a stab at this, theres lots and lots of information that pulls in many different directions, and sans a full time economist gig, I don't think this parseable by me (and I've given enough time to it).

So, the theory I mentioned, still holds true - even if someones jobs on the margin are lost.

And at the same time, that loss also holds true, no matter what those theories say.

Natural cannabinoid found to play key role in anxiety
No, it's an unethical company that greatly relies on government subsidies in the US and abroad, and the share price is ludicrous.
Additionally it creates products that pollute more than their non subsidized competitors.
I think they're too attached to their "precious IP" to allow that.

It seems their closed source drivers are full of bugs and incomplete functionality
Also, because in many cases you can't get subsidized by the government for the second car.
These examples all seem to be using double precision floating point, which might be misleading. For example, the C++ snippet is adding two double literals, not floating point literals. The result is even more inaccurate using single precision arithmetic:

#include <iostream>
#include <iomanip>

int main() {
std::cout << std::setprecision(17) << 0.1 + 0.2 << '\n'; // 0.30000000000000004
std::cout << std::setprecision(17) << 0.1f + 0.2f << '\n'; // 0.30000001192092896

As for Uber seeing stuff, I have some posts below on the topic. I think this is not a difficult problem to solve.

Actually, what it really boils down to is CAP theorem. Uber is just making the wrong choices about CAP.

In this case we aren't talking about a networked system in the normal way we do with distributed database systems. We're talking about a network of people. How do you handle it when there's a partition event? Uber's default choice is fuck it. Write one part of the transaction to the database and charge the user a disconnect fee.

That's not in anyway the correct way to handle a network partition. That's like if you have an application that receives a message and logs it, but can't get a response to my callback, and it just says, "Okay. My work here is done." And then makes a new entry in a table that says the failed callback owes 5 bucks.

That's absolutely stupid and wrong. Network partitions are going to happen. All the damn time. And if your best mechanism for dealing with them is blame the callback . . . you have some serious thinking to do. Because that shit is broken.
I said "parental leave" and not "maternity leave" quite deliberately.
And they better not infringe on any Apple IP as well (or IP that was acquired)...
Instead of putting too much effort in to Ubuntu phones they could team up with some manufacture and release Apple-like external touch pad with 100% integration with the system.
Exactly. Maybe they figured that they already hired the key personnel, so there was no need to buy the whole company any longer.
Their 2016 annual report notes £120.0m revenue (90 from IP/royalties) and £136.5m in operating expenses with an operating loss of £87.0m. Their new CEO mentions refocusing the company on IP and royalty income. Now Apple, which pays 60% of that income, is ducking out. Ouch.

In the same report, they mention "There are no parties with whom the Group has contractual or other arrangements which are essential to the business of the Group except the contract with Apple Inc." All your eggs in one basket...

What's funny is in their financial risk assessment they focus on bullshit like investment shifts and outside IP threats, but gloss over the whole "what if that huge contract our company depends on happens to fall apart?"

The discussion between Apple and these guys must've really gone south for a nasty and desperate press release like this
Diagnosis will be done fairly shortly.

Let's be honest here Machine-Learning is perfect for medical diagnosis.

X-Ray or any visual, the video to text translation is 99% perfect now, no way a doctor can be trained to beat the system's, given humans can only deal with what '7' issues at once.

I think really SURGERY is where it will go, machine's (ROBOTS) will make the machines much like 3d printing now. The new machines will be surgeons to handle any surgery and never make a mistake.

The real issue here is 'politics', in the USA/EUROPE it will be dead, because of the lawsuit legal moral hazard business, in ASIA however you will find diagnostic medical computers just a tablet for less than $100, show it a photo/video, and it will diagnose, and the best the AMA/big-pharma will do is BAN this stuff on USA soil.

Same with surgery robots the vested USA interests will bitch &moan, in the meantime china/japan will crank out perfect robot-surgeons.

Hardly anything that a machine can't do better than a human in this area.

The USA has the worse medical care in the world for the highest price, the rest of the world has no choice, in order for India/Mexico/Thailand to continue to provide a hospital visit & pharma for a few bucks, they must embrace this TECH, and they will. On the other hand the USA will continue to try and collect $100K/day from a sick person, and lobby all they can to kill high-tech in the USA.

I think it was predicted long ago, but in the USA people will die because they can't afford to see a doctor or get medicine, 90% of the world doesn't have an AMA, and let's anybody who wants to can pass the test become a doctor and get into med-school.

Nobody in ASIA will stop a smart young kid from developing a robot surgery system, and or human diagnostic laptop. All hardware is around $10, and 3d printing machines are super cheap, all can be had from aliexpress.com for a few bucks.

Interesting that Apple was that much of their revenue. Reminds me a little of PortalPlayer from the iPod days, though it was much more dependent on Apple (90% of its revenue). But I remember the rumor mill echoed Apple was unhappy with them. Eventually, Apple decided to switch MP3 chip suppliers and the PortalPlayer imploded.
