Agreed. China doing it is way more likely in general because they could walk in and take over enough capacity to reduce the capex required for takeover (by combining stolen capacity + new capacity) by perhaps 75%. It would also make it way harder to notice, because a massive new mining pool trying to pull things in a new direction would be obvious. Several established mining ops shifting direction would be less obvious.
If I remember correctly, they did that a few years ago. And I've had Prime ever since, which makes me a schmuck, I guess.
Taylor had an immense impact both direct and indirect on the nature of computing as we know it today, it's a little sad he's not better known.

Dealers of Lightning does a great job detailing his role in it all - https://www.amazon.com/Dealers-Lightning-Xerox-PARC-Computer... that along with soul of a new machine really capture the spirit of that 60s/70s generation of computing.
How was he manhandled?

They used enough force to pull him out of the seat and stopped.
This book really is fantastic - if you work on anything related to the web and don't know the history of the ARPANET and how it was the foundation of the internet we know today, I highly recommend checking out this book.
Swift 3 was a major breaking upgrade. Apple has already stated that 4.0 will not have large breaking changes. Swift is open source so you can follow its development.
A few days back, I started working on an high powered machine with a vanilla firefox. Even with just 20-30 tabs open, the software started to crawl. Please note that most of the pages open were either github pages, hn, stackoverflow or articles linked for hn (implying fairly reputable sites). Initially I thought it was the fault of the browser. (That performance was jarring as I am a tab hoarder, frequently having hundreds of tabs open). Only later did I realize that I had not installed Ublock Origin. Did it and Poof! The difference was night and day.

What I am trying to say is that, the advantage of ad-blockers is not just the removal of ads but also a significant removal of cruft that adds no value and hogs the system resources. The solution proposed in this article actually renders the page. So, it solves only one of the issues. It could still be beneficial to use it in conjunction with UBlock Origin.

Clickbait at its worst.
So far all the articles I have seen are about Apple experimenting with autonomous technology and most people assume that they are also building an electric vehicle. Those are two very different and challenging projects. I have been an Apple user since 2000 and a Tesla driver for four months and I don't see the current Apple being able to pull off an entire new car platform like that. This isn't a "one more thing" kind of reveal. Look at how long it took Tesla to get to the point where they can mass produce a relatively inexpensive electric vehicle with a basic self driving platform. I am a huge fan of both companies and have stained teeth from all of the Kool Aid, but just getting the battery manufacturing in place seems like an impossible feat for a company that is going to take over two years to design and release a new modular desktop computer for content creators.
Wouldn't it be nice if the NSA turned over all of its now compromised zero days to Microsoft so that Microsoft could patch them all?
Suppose your entire civilization was running in a single Docker container. Being a SPOF, that's not ideal. Now, consider scaling out horizontally by running on a cluster of a dozen planets. That provides a bit more breathing room for your devops team.

The website highscalability.com is a good resource on this topic of fault tolerance and availability. It turns out that a lot of what applies to keeping services like Google running applies to the entirety of the human race.
Chariot is doing exactly the same thing as Uber, ie. subsidizing all the rides to get a low price. But they don't have the same network effects, they will go out of business soon.
30% is the highest tax bracket, in NZ on the equivalent of USD 55k pa (NZ$77600 right now) you'd pay $17835 in tax, or around 23% marginal.

There is the matter of 15% GST to consider, but it's not something you often think about and factors in to the cost of living comparisons.
Brannd Hub to Help 100 Young Entrepreneurs Around the World

Nothing bars unikernels from running their code in protected memory as the sole non-ring-0 proc.
Because if it were able to recognize dick-pics, or whatever other manifestation of that "one subject" you might have in mind, then it would sometimes recognize them wrongly and respond to a picture of a toothbrush as if it were a picture of a penis. If the person who drew the toothbrush were of a sensitive disposition, they might get Very Upset at this and make a big fuss. Public attitudes to that One Subject being what they are, this might well blow up into a big public highly-visible fuss, at which point Google might start losing advertisers keen to sell things to people of a sensitive disposition.

Google would prefer not to risk losing a shedload of money just so that their sketch-processing neural network can amuse people by correctly recognizing penises.

It's just this one subject because few others get people so upset.

(And contemplating others that might suggests that actually it's not strictly just this one subject. False positives for "decapitated corpse" or "big pile of excrement", say, might be just as problematic. Want to guess whether the system is good at recognizing decapitated corpses and piles of excrement?)
Because of github pages support, Jekyll is the most popular, but Hugo[0] seems to be the best for other circumstances. The documentation is great and it is written in golang.

Edit: I should clarify, 'the most popular'... Static Site Generator (SSG)... is Jekyll.

In my case, I run Hugo on a local box, push it to S3, and put cloudflare in front of that endpoint.

The story I heard at the time was that the IBM team did want to go with the 68000, but Motorola couldn't guarantee enough units.
I'm pretty sure there is a positive correlation, just because people who tend to be good at competitions usually do them because they like computer science in general, so they learn other stuff too (and they are likely smart). And this is also a reason why this side is tested so much in interviews - it is easy to test and the result is somewhat significant.

Now, most good software engineers would probably not be very good at competitions, because competitions require certain specific skills that are not useful outside of competitions. And that's why good interviews don't put too much weight on algorithmic skills.
What is a centurion lounge? You cant just drop that shit without explaining. Is it like a university club; like a place where members chill, drink, and play tennis?

It's just a number I pulled out of my ass for an example; I haven't shopped around so I really don't know what they cost, and of course it'll vary a lot from place to place. Also depends on if it's a coworking space (cubicles, other people around) or a closed office with a door.

I did read that at the time, and it is interesting. But as James Lovelock says - one of the first people to alert us about rising co2 - smoke or soot is the only countermeasure we have now, but it is a very short term fix and the other gases mixed with it lead to rapid longer term warming.

I've used both. I kinda like how tmux has a bottom bar by default. Both are super stable and I haven't had either crash on me ever.

Configuring both are kinda of a pain. I can never seem to get scroll to work properly in mac os x. I don't think I ever tried in screen. tmux is shorter character wise :)

I use Amex (Blue Cash Preferred) because I get more cash back. I don't fly often so getting actual cash for the sorts of everyday purchases that dominate my usual spending works well for me. Amex has the best deals for that. The thought that people will choose a card for its signaling to others or, even more ridiculous, for its "feel" and/or look just makes me think people need to step back and reassess how they live.
Doesn't that assume they'll never be customers? If Apple provide the hardware they want, I don't see why that would be the case.
But it is always better to help a free software project such as GNU Octave
I think the long form is less clear - Stanford University is the common name. Stanford is a fine and commonly used abbreviation. Many people don't know the full, long name.
In Thailand I can't seem to use my Amex card to get money from ATM's, but my MasterCard works fine.
They should be pushing their Blue Cash Preferred Card. For $75 a year, you get 6% cash back on groceries and 3% back on gas. You also get 1% on everything else. Right now it is just my husband and I and we easily get more than $75 in rewards. I can only imagine if you add kids to the mix. 6% is a huge amount of money when talking about groceries. We also use the AmEx to purchase anything that is worth having a warranty for because the AmEx extends the manufacturer's warranty.
End to the arms race? Hah. The next step is adversarial neural network generated images that fools the OCR while looking relatively normal to human eyes.

Not doubtful at all. You can expect a positive correlation between being an good driver and a good software engineer. Definitely some random person with the CS fundamentals, coding fluency, and creative problem solving ability to be good at competitive programming is more likely to be good at software engineering than some random developer. You're basically saying, high intelligence isn't correlated with being a strong software engineer. Or maybe you think people doing competitive programming are damaged. This is nuts.
It's not to hard to convert to Swift 3.0. Apple's converter helps a lot. I documented most of the things I had to change.

The law isn't nearly so cut and dry as that. After all, if something operates as a business, and also has a brick-and-mortar storefront, then it is also liable to accessibility guidelines per the ADA (see the lawsuit against Target a few years back).

As such, publicly accessible websites are, in effect, no less common areas than storefronts.

Of course, there's a way around this; websites could establish 'membership requirements' such as using a browser that does not have an ad blocker enabled; the content for most of the website would require being a member and volunteering to abide by membership rules to access. Violate those rules, and you would risk losing your membership and access to the content, though I seriously doubt grounds could be established for a lawsuit over it.
This article seems delusional, either on the part of Amex or the reporter.

Chase isn't winning because Amex is too snobby or due to "cachet." They're winning because the Platinum rewards are inferior to the CSR, even after the recent updates. In fact, Amex did probably the stupidest thing possible by increasing the annual fee precisely when they're under threat.

As much as I like the Platinum, it's hard for me to justify keeping it this year when the CSR is so rewarding. And that has nothing to do with wanting to avoid appearing snobby (after all, I do love the metal CSR).
Why do you think that is? Aucklanders ostensibly lament mobility in my experience, but I'm new and thus open to the views of people who've lived here longer.
Amex isn't even worth getting in the US; I only need one card, and I'd rather have one that i don't have to sweat it being accepted.

Like, why? Ill give up all my rewards to have an anxiety free payment experience.
RIP. For you youngins ... you may want to read up on him. He is an example of a boss we'd be fortunate to get at some point in our life.
Ah, thanks for the clarification! Turns out I could have discovered that if I had Googled: https://www.juce.com/history-and-development – so much for speculation.
Lifelessness doesn't care. This is an extrapolation from his earlier assertion that 'I, for one, would not want to be a rock,' a statement that seems no more meaningful than 'I would not like to be the transcendental number pi.'

This writer seems not to have explored very much philosophy, and without wanting to damp his imagination or enthusiasm I have to say that the idea of making the universe resemble our domestic environment as much as possible strikes me as a bit...trite. I don't find it so hard to conceive of planetary or cosmic-scale dynamic systems that might be locally hostile to life but of staggering natural beauty. One might argue that skilled mathematicians enjoy private vistas whose extent is only limited by their cognitive capability, or conversely that the most elaborate and variegated manifestations of life are merely an expansion in conventional space of some higher-dimensional universal function.

Stanislaw Lem's Cyberiad story collection considers the ends of endeavor from several perspectives, including that of a society that has reached the Highest Possible Level of Development which naturally proves to be a severe disappointment to its less-developed discoverers. Those engineers troubled by ethical or philosophical uncertainties would do well to read it (followed by everything else he's written, though not necessarily at the same time).
I definitely notice and talk about cards with some friends, but not due to prestige so much as churning.

> Would this drive to more or larger IP holding firms (One of the complaints of Trolls is they don't actually make anything)?

Perhaps a variation on "Petition to Make Special" ?? We used this to expedite a patent application. The premise is that you need a patent in order to secure financing to build the product. And it was factored into our Series A and B. Downside, is that if you don't use it, you lose it. Am lucky that none of my patents have been used by Trolls.

> people creating the "inventions" patents are tied to probably getting a worse deal then they are now as there is a 17 year wait for "payday".

I wonder how many pure inventors there are versus makers? We made a product. I was a co-founder that assigned my inventions to the company.

When I first got into this, I read that the Government incentive behind patents is to increase US commerce. So, the question is: do Trolls increase or decrease US commerce? (Or any other nation state, for that matter).

Unfortunately, litigation is a part of US commerce. Plus, laws are made by lawyers. So, the modest proposal was somewhat cynical. Restated: how to offer up an opportunity for lawyers to sue trolls? Hopefully, while making it easier for small startups to make stuff.
Is it arbitrary which people get black bars? Sure feels like it. Lot of good men last year went black barless.
I'd also like to drop in and say my Blue Cash Preferred is my favorite card out of all of the ones I've collected over the years.

There might be a handful of changes in the future but it won't be anything like 2 to 3. I imagine that the automatic converter will get most of them. Swift is open source so you'll know all changes well in advance.
Yeah, this is the first time in a while though that I've seen it. I personally wish HN didn't do this (not to say that Bob Taylor isn't deserving), only because I don't think it's possible to be inclusive of everyone who deserves recognition. HN did it for people like Steve Jobs, who demonstrably didn't care about tech workers or anyone else for that matter, but many others I can think of were passed over.
If you do the Google Code Jam, they might use that info to recruit you.
The thing about undefined behavior is that it means the compiler can do whatever it wants. Most of the time, since the compiler wants to create efficient code, it can just assume that invalid values won't occur the same way a type system can allow a compiler to know that invalid values can't occur.

In case anyone doesn't know, Richard Posner is a federal judge, for the 7th circuit court of appeals (and former chief judge of that circuit) and a professor at the University of Chicago law school. RP is widely regarded as the most influential legal scholar in the last 50 years (eg, he's the most cited legal scholar of the 20th century). As a judge, his body of legal opinions over his 36 years (and counting) on the 7th circuit put him in the company of Hand, Holmes, Cardozo, etc.

this piece by RP appears to echo Larry Lessig's. Interestingly, LL was a law clerk for RP, after graduating from the law school where RP taught.
I work on several DARPA programs and agree with most of this. But some programs are by design far more basic or applied than others. Also worth noting - DARPA generally doesn't pay contractors anything like what the private sector pays employees.

The programs (and their vision, and their success) depend quite a bit on the PM, and on their ideas and engagement. To a lesser extent success depends upon the SETAs as well.

Lets say the USPTO uses Deep Learning to discover prior art and/or result disputes. A shorter time frame may be less risky for the inventor. After the escrow is released, there is no recourse for the licensee.
