I'm not sure about this TensorFlow example. Theano was there in 2010. Same thing, only TensorFlow has a slightly better UI on top, and a mobile backend.

And in general, what one fool can do, another can.
I think they spend months there. I would also be surprised if they cheated a little. When you have spent millions on a production you need results if you ever want to do it again.
As an Indian I feel bad. But part of me knows this is true to large extent. Managers have too much power.

This. The Google Earth thing from last week could be justified as "requires some NaCl shebang that only Chrome does", but requiring Chrome for a new Youtube layout is pretty hard to explain away as "technical requirements".
When did they make that change? A month ago or so, I remember having to click a link at the bottom of a page to load more comments.
Like most things, what really happened is complicated. Here's a good hn thread on the matter.

If you have more interest in understanding the issue, there's plenty of good assessments. Everything from the explosion of wireless, to hdtv, to local municipalities, to mergers, and technological limitations are to blame.
Google isn't one of the major internet providers here, whether Google's business has proper competition or not is not my point.

My point is that we pay ISPs as much as we pay for the rest of the computing infrastructure, that they are a major player, with tons of money and high profits, and terrible service. That they aren't acting like the big boys, even though they have the cash to.

ISPs are currently entrenched without competition. The current FCC fudges stats to wrongly state that there is competition in the ISP space, whereas in reality almost nobody has more than one broadband option.
_My_ main objection to lisp is that it's confusing.

I don't mean the syntax is hard to grasp. I mean the way it looks. It becomes very confusing when the program grows in size.

This is not unique to Lisp. It applies to all dynamic languages that don't have strong tooling support (IDE's with intellisense).

(Maybe I am wrong about Lisp being dynamic; my only experience has been with "arc"; and I have had someone tell me before that common-lisp has static types)

I used to be happy about programming python and javascript in a plain text editor (vim).

However, as I was doing my first intermediate size project, I realized that I've hit a limit.

My project was in Javascript (frontend) and I couldn't keep track of what was going on anymore. Each unit of code is understandable on its own but the whole thing is a mess to look at. When I need to change the inputs or outputs of a function, I have no idea if I've done it correctly or not; due to the lack of type checking.

I absolutely need to make sense of what is what. Having everything look the same makes me confused. And I've come to realize that tooling support is of the utmost importance. Having an editor like vim with cool tricks is nice, but what I really need is to "rename variable" or "rename function" automatically across all usages in the project.
Able to point to a sales channel where one might be picked up? The last time I reached out to Cavium directly, they made it seem they weren't interested in a sale that wouldn't lead to volume later.
They increased the size of some of the touch targets, which is probably the right call on a small mobile touchscreen, but needs to be carefully balanced with content density, as the negative spaces have been increasing over time and there's less and less content above the fold.

Of course, these screenshots are taken on a desktop with a respectable resolution, where the appeal of these changes for the viewer is less pronounced: there's some futzing around with the spacing, the default text size has slightly increased to no real benefit. There's more negative space on the desktop too, but the larger screen size offsets some of the losses. Dark mode is nice.

Overall, it feels like a bit of a wash, but, if they're gaining both a conforming design and a redone UI architecture, I can understand. I don't think it's a meaningful-enough improvement, but it's not an egregiously bad design either. In a few months, no one will remember what's different.

It's not what I'm talking about though. These are Indian companies which mostly employ only Indian people, all of whom might be cheap from your standards. I was mainly talking about the American companies that are employing both Americans and Indian H-1Bs, and are allegedly paying less to the similarly qualified Indian workers than their American counter parts (because that's where an average US citizen seems to have a problem with 'cheap Indians' snatching their jobs). These Indian companies' (Infosys, TCS etc.) jobs were anyway not "American jobs" to begin with, so there's no chance of Indians snatching them.

I personally don't have a problem with equally qualified Indians getting paid less than the American counterparts as well, even if that might be the (illegal) case. In a free market, whoever provides best quality with the cheapest price wins anyway (and the employer gets to decide what 'quality' means to them), so I don't understand all the whining. Eventually, it's American companies that get benefited by these cheap workers, growing American economy. The local people, then would need to lower their rates to match the competition. That's what happens across the world.
I don't think code reviewers are looking at the gender of the committer and reaching for their scrutiny glasses. Other than the rank issue mentioned, it's fully possible that the code submitted may have co-incidentally been of lower quality in the window sampled. This has no bearing to the author's gender.

A similar sampling can be done on race, color, religion, sexual orientation ... but it's easy to forget that correlation isn't causation. And I say this as a person belonging to a minority.

Headline grabbing non-news
On HN that point is unsubstantive because it's generic. We've learned from long experience that generic ideological discussions go nowhere interesting. Worse, users compensate for the inability to say anything new or interesting by fulminating, which leads to rants, incivility, and flamewars. That's how you get to arguments that population X deserved atrocity Y in one or two hops, and then outraged responses and outraged responses to outraged responses.

It's quite a reliable effect, which is why we're so clear about asking people not to do it.
I think ad blockers should be able to throttle by amount of bandwidth. If the ads are taking up more than 20% of load time or 20% of bandwidth, they start getting cut off.

Also, an ad blocker that learned your preferences would be very cool. If you could "thumbs down" ads, this information could be used to show you ads you like and are interested in. Such information would actually be very valuable to marketers.
That is a bizarre claim to make. Energy will not be far cheaper and more abundant in 10 years. Trillions of dollars are invested in infrastructure that has lifetimes of 50+ years. It is not economically or technologically feasible to undergo an energy revolution that quickly. Even if we gathered the political and financial will, our production facilities and supply chains could not feasibly handle the load of rebuilding the world's energy infrastructure in a single decade.

Actually in CA, many groceries are not subject to sales tax, just FYI. I'm not sure where the distinction is drawn, but it seems like the less processed the food the less likely it will be taxed.
Nice aesthetics and form factor, which makes the choice to use fabric right under the palms, more than odd.

Perhaps it will have strong sales given potential buyers rarely consider these long term issues. However, that fabric is almost certainly going to turn nasty over time and be a pain to manage.

I actively welcome and even seek out conversations in opposition to net neutrality. I do this because, to me, an echo chamber becomes claustrophobic extremely quickly.

But, despite all this searching, I have yet to find a meaningful argument in opposition. They are either vague or filled with misassumptions. I have yet to find someone (with a correct understanding of the concept) to argue that it actually helps consumers. Their argument always stems from the fear of over-regulation or a historical lack of net neutrality regulation that still allowed the internet to flourish (which is a nonsensical argument). They never challenge the technical rules themselves.

This interview (along with almost anything else coming from Pai) falls under this meaningless argument in opposition.
>Okay. I'll become less effective at my job, because the only search engine worth a darn is the second largest dataminer in the world.

Clearly the cost of losing your privacy is worth it to you because choose not to use competing services like duckduckgo that will respect your privacy.

With respects to banks and ISPs, the major players in those industries support overregulation because they know it prevents smaller competitors from rising up and taking their business away with a superior product.

It's easy money for them - they pay the big ISPs to secure their monopolies for them. No upstart can ever threaten to compete again.
My job took away my flex time after 6 weeks. "We just don't like that here". Well, I negotiated it on my hiring (for a large paycut), so I now work 3.5 days a week instead of 5 (they've yet to notice in the last 15 or so weeks).

But hey, I'm not leaving before everyone else everyday. I've had flextime at every job since 1999. Wonder how long it's going to take them to catch on, since I can get another job pretty easily (2-4 weeks max). It's been kind of nice though only doing 3 full days.
Technology firms and the office of the future
Not in genomics but the same in true in spatial pipelines. Trying to get a machine setup with the correct set of libraries and packages across various languages is almost impossible on dev box much less on a prod cluster. Docker makes this easy to do once locally, validate the build and then use the same container to do the production runs.
I don't buy from our local chinatown which sources some of its vegetables from farmers who grow right off freeways etc where the land is cheap because of its location.

On the other hand they also buy from farmers who grow their crops off lands more suitable for farming as well.

I'm a heavy Perl user, too, but some stuff that is very succinct in awk is a bit more awkward in Perl. Most prominently when you're using $1, $2, etc. which are just there in awk but need a split/\s+/ in Perl.
Yes, it's far far easier to switch from google to duckduckgo or some other search provider. Or from any google sub-product to a competitor than it is to change your ISP. And that's even if you have another ISP to change to.
DIY rifles are untraceable and completely legal
The point is that they're not particularly profitable in comparison to Google, even though in theory Google plays in competitive markets while ISPs are "entrenched without competition."

That's the elusive meta-bias.
There's also the matter of what trade-offs customers are willing to accept. I suspect that the customers here care a lot more about price, whereas the typical suburban supermarket customers are willing to pay premiums for things like later operating hours, selection of goods, higher likelihood of availability, and the "organic" label on produce.
they don't strictly need refrigeration because of rapid turnover (most of the inventory sells same day) and because the buyers are knowledgable about what condition the produce really is.

that said, if you've ever walked down Mott St. on a hot summer afternoon there will be no doubt in your nose that the produce isn't making the sanitation grade that you will find at Whole Foods.
"and it is the reason other parts of the web are blue – like Facebook, which is blue because Mark Zuckerberg is red-green colorblind." didn't know that.

I don't think /u/tmd83 said MBPs were not expensive or was even comparing the two.
Probably because I have a concrete notion of what "my privacy" entails, and I consciously don't place "things i'm typing in a search box to $company" in the "things $company shouldn't know about" box.

On top of all that, there's the functional aspect as well. DDG's results plain and simply suck, and using a search engine out of principle is purely an exercise in self flagellation if I can't accomplish the goal I set out to do.
Can relate. I remember programing in basic, then c, then java.. and at one point thinking 'man, i wish i could send this function to this other function somehow'. Granted, didn't understand function pointers, but when much later i learned about functional languages, it was instant return to childhood obsession with programming.
We see the alternatives in the handful of cases in which spying on users isn't a viable model (or, at least, just doing that isn't viable). Typically it's directly paying money for services, maybe with a free tier (Github) or something Free with a capital F and community-driven (Wikimedia). Take away spying and serving deceptive/harmful ads as an option for e.g. search, mapping/route-finding, voice recognition, and so on, and we'd see alternatives pop up, probably under those models, or possibly under more traditional less-invasive (and less malware-spreading/scam-promoting) advertising models (like magazines, or the early ad-driven web but with way more eyeballs).
These are mostly the same people who think that climate change is a hoax and that creationism is a valid alternative to evolution. Reality is not their strong suit.

Their ideology says that government regulation is bad and free markets are good, with essentially no wiggle room for nuance. This implies that ISPs are being hobbled by government regulations, and that freeing them to do as they please will benefit us all.

It doesn't matter whether or not it's true, it's what they believe, and they're approaching it from a perspective that's impervious to facts.

Free will can exist in the same way God can exist. At least with our current understanding of the universe, we lack a falsifiable test to disprove either. However, there is also no evidence to support the existence of either with any greater certainty than the claim that there is a teapot orbiting the sun somewhere between the orbits of Earth and Mars.

You are welcome to believe in God, orbital teapots, and/or free will, of course, so long as your belief doesn't lead to actions which create a negative imposition upon others. Sadly, that is all too common, and far less welcome, in my eyes.

The word "freedom" is really overused, and nobody seems to have an idea what it actually means. This will get ISP more freedom to charge their customers higher rates for the same service they enjoy today.

I'm still a little bit jealous about what the city of Stockholm did. They started to built a dark fiber network, which ISPs can use to get to their customers. The result is, more competition and lower prices. Essentially net neutrality on layer 1.

One thing this article doesn't assert too strongly is simply that many western supermarkets just don't have veggies that are quite common in other countries. e.g. Gherkins is quite common in India (fresh ones, not the pickled variety), tender young Okra (without the coarse threads that make it hard to chew) and something which is apparently called "Chinese Green Beans" but which is pretty commonly used in my native cuisine.
Starting an ISP is incredibly expensive, even if you didn't have regulations. If you got rid of all ISP regulations tomorrow, you would be lucky if in 3 years you'd start to see competition. And most places wouldn't be valuable enough to have more than one provider.

When you argue for getting rid of these regulations, you're basically saying that a bunch of people don't deserve quality, neutral internet.
"At the end of the day it’s going to settle, I hope, where the consumer is the one who is paying a lower price for the content that he or she wants."

The people in the US eat only two types of meat, a handful of types of vegetables and crops.

Also the cost of fish in the US is very high because the US wants to shove dangerous USDA beef and chicken down their pallets. They allow these fast food restaurants and groceries to thrive and lie to their consumers and say it is "food" and a "meal" where it really is a slow acting poison. It can be a very dangerous place.
I understand your point and will address it, but I think you chose a bad example. I don't think anyone thinks that government on any level should enforce a marriage (as in, forcing two people to stay wed). On the other hand, Pai thinks that some of these things should be regulated, just not by the FCC or the federal government.

The problem is, there isn't another place for the regulation to happen. The FTC simply does not have the expertise or resources and the internet needs broad conforming rules to perform well, so a state-by-state solution would prove disastrous.
