> Imagine if you had to consciously process every breath. It would seem stilted and robotic. You wouldn’t be able to fully concentrate on anything else. Imagine how exhausting and disabling that would be!

This is a dangerous analogy. The logical consequence is that any reasonable person with this condition would take a "cure" if (well, when) it's available. After all, who in their right mind would want to think to breathe!

What happens when those "cured" patients want to go to sleep to revamp the cognitive exhaustion they're used to, they're instead treated to an entire new domain of emotional impressions and memories to process? When they try incessantly to "solve" these emotional impressions and memories, but only end up creating yet more emotional impressions?

What happens when they realize that "null" doesn't actually equal "0"-- that they cannot ever turn off their new sensory perception?
Minors can enter contracts, and they are binding upon the minor until and unless the minor voids the contract. As he's no longer a minor, he would not be able to void it now, so he's bound by its terms.
I read Snow Crash and only got a surface level read of it, but was recently talking to a friend who enlightened me on the near future social commentary it contains. The one I remember most is the proliferation of mega franchises, as well as "the library" corporation which we see in today's Internet data brokers.

Need to re read it.
Question unrelated to the article, but related to that link: is anyone else developing a knee-jerk reaction to just leaving a web site the moment they ask you to turn ad-block off?
Linux kernel, Rails, pretty much any high profile open source project is fully distributed, yet them maintain code quality that is world class relative to most private projects?
Well, it's presumptuous of you to say that I'm just doing things I like, or implying that I'm not actually really making any sacrifices with the way I choose to live my life. Which is kind of a crummy way to start out your reply.

After all, you don't know that I might have a preference to live in a rural area, but choose to live in a city instead to reduce my carbon footprint.

After all, rural folks are choosing to live in rural areas, that's a choice they're making too.

And you don't know what I've given up by choosing to bike instead of drive--what jobs I've turned down, or people I haven't seen, or fun things I've missed out on.

In fact, your whole statement does come down to "your sacrifices are bullshit because I say they are".

Hey, if that's how you want to see the world--other people's sacrifices are bullshit--maybe it's because you're uncomfortable with how little you do on your own, or how self-centeredly you live?

Man, you're an ass.
Had a play for awhile. I was predominantly interested to present various macroeconomic indicators over time for various Asian regional markets to potentially make a case to investors regarding new market entry for http://8-food.com/

I found that the report I had built disappeared at some point and I couldn't get it back, eg. with the back button. I also found that there was a degree of missing functionality when figures were extended through 2020 (past 2015), which was not adequately communicated.
they're not outlawing metal, they're outlawing mining.

you don't do mining for fun, nor does anyone get the urge to suddenly mine something. outlawing alcohol was/is pretty useless because pretty much everyone and their mother wants to drink some alcohol every so often.
"The purpose of reading is not to pass some final judgement on the text, but to engage with what it has to offer to me now."

Agreed, and I can't help but wonder if an exploration of that topic would have been more worthwhile.
systemd already puts each service in a separate cgroup AFAIK, so commands like cgexec aren't even needed. I suspect people are more interested in namespace separation, but recent versions of systemd can also do that [1]. I don't think systemd has image management so that's still a reason to use Docker.

There is no substance to this reply. You just dismiss my points without addressing them and assert as true things that are disputed. You conflate is with ought, and normal with moral.

I can't tell if you're trolling or not, but at this point I'm not sure it matters.
I built this in response to watching the marches and the conversation around climate change and education. Maybe I'm naive, but I think consumers can have a huge impact based on their purchasing behavior and there isn't enough being done to emphasize that. Personally, if I had a way to easily identify companies that support the same values I do, it would play a major role in the brands and products I buy. Since money == speech, a group effort has the potential to ripple upwards.

I hacked this app together over the last few weekends just to get the conversation started. Let me know what you think!
I think a far better solution to #2 is taxis or other on-demand transportation that can take you directly from subway stops to your destination. Trams and buses have the same last-mile problem as subways, but to a lesser extent, and often require passengers to wait longer for the next tram/bus. Bicycles have practicality limitations such as luggage storage, cold weather, and physical ability.

How does one input the phonemes and parameters for a synthesizer like this? For those of us that are naturally good singers, the easiest way would be to just sing, have a program convert the vocal into phonemes and parameters, and then change the key, gender, or whatever.
I think social anxiety and introversion look pretty similar from the outside. Some people who refuse to socialize at gatherings do it because they hate themselves and some do it because they hate everyone else. That's a simplification but you get the idea.
Isn't one of the "advantages" of SF/SV the culture? Once you distill the work down to a Github repo, a Trello board, and an EC2 instance, wouldn't it start to lose its luster?

However for startups willing to pay market or above (while still saving $ compared to SF/SV), there's no reason you can't go remote.
"(Your gut fauna also adapts over time, which is why the locals don't get sick so often)."

Heh, this isn't actually true, or not meaningfully so. Where I lived, it was recognized that getting sick regularly was a fact of life. The place I lived had almost no tourism, so people getting sick were, in fact, just getting sick from an essentially unregulated food market.

But hey, freeeeee market, right?
Anxiety of any kind makes life less enjoyable then not having it. People with social anxiety needs friends, wants to belong in group and generally have normal social needs - except that they are afraid to do necessary steps for it to happen and end up isolated and unhappy. Social anxiety is not the same thing as being happy at home alone and thus not seeking wild parties, it is feeling uncomfortable in presence of people. Happy loners exist, but they don't have social anxiety.

Not everyone has social anxiety just like not everyone who is a bit sad has depression. Social anxiety makes you perform badly on meetings, when talking with your kids teachers, when talking with colleges and in all kinds of situations where it actually matters.

Not having social anxiety is not the same as not doing silly things while drunk. Plenty of extroverted highly social people don't do cool stupid things while drunk.
>Kind-of like implementing a filesystem on top op a filesystem

yep, when you want a distributed filesystem building it on top of a good and already working local filesystem is a pretty robust and cheap approach.

>smell like a system on top of a system to fix something that could be fixed in the system.

container layer is basically a distributed OS. Making a distributed OS by "fixing in the system" is pretty much non-starter ... or a huge academia project.
Why not cut to the chase and tell them that a $THING is important to know about in $FIELD rather than acting surprised that they don't know?
> 3.) Major appeal of startups is lifestyle - ping pong table

I've seen a ping-pong table at a major bank (not to mention more relaxed companies). Right now, startups need to try harder in terms of "culture" perks - dog-friendly startup offices seem to be on the rise for example.
Paypal just cancelled my PP CC because I was late with payment twice. They autocancel it. I have looked into why I was late and realized that PP failed to process my payment. I asked them how come a failure on their end causes this but tey never replied.
> He quickly realized, though, that film “didn’t have the sensitivity to capture the scenes we were trying to shoot, especially the things we shot at dawn and dusk,” as he told an interviewer.

Sounds like he simply didn't have the right cameras. As far as I remember Barry Lyndon was shot without electric light; but Kubrick had to use some rather special lenses (ex-NASA i think).
Ask HN: How to get entire list of all registered .io domain names?
I doing some research on the trends of .io domain names. I'm having trouble getting a reliable list of all registered .io domain names, though. I've purchased a few curated lists, but they were obviously incomplete. The .io registry does not supply access to zone files like verisign does (use to?).

Anyone know of a reliable way to gather the entire dataset of registered .io domain names?
Will there be an ARM version?

I would consider there are three general areas to work on for interviewing

1. Data Structures & Algorithms
2. Domain Knowledge
3. Interviewing Practice

Each section is somewhat independent, and you should have a strategy for each

1. Data Structures & Algorithms

Many people dislike this section as it doesn't represent the day-to-day work of an engineer. But nothing is going to change in the short-term so you might as well prep for it.

My recommendation is to view this as a Competitive Programming. You need to devise the solution to the problem in a fast time with the most optimal solution. The best source I've found on this is The Competitive Programmer's Handbook: https://cses.fi/book.pdf

Read it well

2. Domain Knowledge

This section is the actual bits on what you're supposed to know about the job. If you're applying for a job relevant to your current job - this should mostly just be a refresher course.

If you're trying to switch to a new technology stick: Build the Thing for the Team you Want.

If you want to apply to Google Search, then deploy your own server and start to crawl and rank the web. If you want to work on VR, then build your own VR app, etc., etc.

Make sure you build it and deploy it. Being able to show your product on your phone or a website during the interview is both impressive and will further gain your broad knowledge of what it takes to accomplish these tasks.

3. Interview Practice

You need to practice coding, white boarding or talking about yourself in FRONT OF OTHER PEOPLE. This is uncomfortable and something you should have done several times before you actual interview of people. Use these resources to accomplish this:

- https://pramp.com
- https://careercup.com/interview
- http://www.gainlo.co
- https://refdash.com

GOOD LUCK!
That's exactly what many amateur researchers reproach to Big Science. That it's less a way to discover new ideas, than to control access to knowledge.
Small claims court?
Being easier to try, having clear documentation/marketing, and having a bigger community are also forms of "better". If something is so infinitely technically better then winning is "just" a matter of creating on-ramps to ease its adoption.
Yes, this codebase is old, because currently you'd use "for thot in thots:"
>Is your face PII [personally identifiable information]?

Before computers existed, PII referred to information someone (ie., a human individual) can use to personally identify someone and probably[0] still does. I'd say a picture of someone is a good way to identify someone.

[0] The "probably" is sarcastic. Of course it is PII.
Well, it's probably more showing of a sense of humor.
I'm guessing in case of these projects you get lots of high caliber, motivated volunteers. In case of a startup you just have a couple people, and they would probably rather hack on the Linux kernel as well rather than on the founder's technically mundane app :)
The GP's submission history shows no signs of point-whoring. This was his first submission in nearly a year.
Thank you very much for this fascinating post, nice work.

Did you use any other resources to learn about deep learning besides http://course.fast.ai/? I'm looking to get started learning, and wondered what the best way forward would be.
I'd spend it on something that helps your mental health. I worked in a very dreary office under a lot of stress for a long time before I realized I could change my environment. I'm still doing the same work with the same equipment, but the walls are a color I like. The desk is comfortable. I have green plants to look at, and nice things on my wall. I have funny action figures on my desk. I spent my time and energy making my workspace nicer and it makes dealing with workspace stress a LOT easier.

Couldn't you address #1 and #2 with local tech leads, and maybe 75% of the team remote?

#3: I've always been of the mindset that culture is a carrot to try to work down salary (I may be totally wrong.) I think there's a ton of developers out there who either don't care about those things or who that lifestyle is incompatible (say they have a family). I think it's ironic how the tech industry supposedly embraces diversity, so long as you're in your mid-twenties, without kids, and like craft beer.
I had a lot of advice to "get used to things." Family, friends, even some health care professionals.

It placed all the burden on me, to accommodate the stressors.

This is an anti-pattern. That is my point.

Work through and past and away from the negative stress. You have a right -- and responsibility -- to do so. And you'll feel less uncomfortable around other people, when you feel like you're taking care of yourself.
It seems deploying thousands of ultra-lightweight VMs with atomized state would still require an orchestration layer. I don't follow how that would remove complexity and/or improve stability.
Code generation is probably missing somewhat trivial optimizations. Here's one example:

int func(int x) {
return x * 1;
}

...still produces unnecessary stack manipulation:

0000 C1 [10] 56	pop	bc
0001 E1 [10] 57	pop	hl
0002 E5 [11] 58	push	hl
0003 C5 [11] 59	push	bc
0004 C9 [10] 60	ret

Plain "ret" would have been enough.
In other words, people need to talk to each other some more, and perhaps drop some egos?

I'd be pissed off to high heaven to learn that my friends or family (or me!) had been in previous rounds of layoffs because some simple math and a couple hours of conversations were too much for management (and previous consultants had been paid big bucks to fire people months earlier).

"Management doesn't like to see people idle". WTF. This reminds me of "butts in seats" thinking, vs looking at real productivity output numbers.

Worked a place years ago where some of us were "upsetting" others on the floor because every so often one of us didn't come in until 10:30 or 11. This 'upset' some of the other folks (call center, marketing, etc) who were always in by 9. It didn't matter that one of us had been on premises from 10pm-3am hours earlier doing a system push/upgrade. They didn't think it was "fair" that every 8-12 weeks someone in my group worked a 'half day'.
What happened to the "1000 year DVD?"[1] MDisc sells ceramic DVD blanks and a drive that can write them. Blanks are about $2 each, and the drive is under $100. Many newer drives can write them.[2] Any drive that can read the format can read them. Capacities to 100GB. A U.S. Navy test says it works, while all the other "archival" disks didn't survive.[3]

If the push-in joints were air-tight they would be harder to put together as you would be pressurizing the air in each connection. Then the internal pressure would be working against the friction fit to pop them apart again.
As a younger millennial I have no desire to move to silicon valley and I can speak for most of my friends as well. In my opinion silicon valley has lost it's allure and really has no appeal over any other tech hub, and honestly has more negatives due to high cost of living and terrible commute times from what I've heard

The only advantage silicon valley has anymore is ready access to money but even that is going away with more VCs paying attention to other areas of the country

Silicon Valley has essentially slit its own throat by pricing out young entrepreneurs and adopting a wall st lite culture imo
Let's not forget that pictures like this are used for social engineering attacks in domains ranging from finance to prostitution to blackmail. I honestly don't care about the researcher (assuming he doesn't release the data set publicly). It's the responsibility of Facebook, Tinder, and similar sites which profit from such images, to go to extreme measures to protect them even if it incurs significant costs such as counter scraping.
Yes, this isn't 20 years ago; there's lots of options that aren't PayPal.

> “I have often been disappointed,” he writes of other facial data sets. “The datasets tend to be extremely strict in their structure, and are usually too small. Tinder gives you access to thousands of people within miles of you. Why not leverage Tinder to build a better, larger facial dataset?”

This guy sounds like a caricature of the exact kind of socially unaware techie who blithely implements dystopian-powering software, because having data and writing code is all that matters apparently. Privacy law admittedly isn't the simplest concept but you have to wonder how blissfully solipsistic someone has to be to write a simple script that scrapes proprietary data without asking himself, "this is so easy, I wonder why no one else has had this idea?"

And then he released the data under CC0, just to add insult to injury by making CC look unethical.
I use Firefox, which also has a responsive mode, but unless I'm missing something, the built-in tools don't load multiple copies of the website in different sizes side-by-side.

It is possible to teach somebody about something without being a jerk about it.

I was able to find out the month by phoning PayPal and asking. However this may not be an option for those who do not want to raise their head above the parapet.
Don't give me wrong, I'm not protecting this idea. But I don't like some alternatives either, like banning the access to "enemy media". And it's more shameful when some democratic country doing it.

I think, the main problem is that Internet was not designed for the masses originally. In 90s you could find there mostly scientists, programmers, hackers, writers etc. Here, in Russia, everything was concenrated in Fidonet and we had our own Eternal September [1] (2000-...) when dial-up access become cheaper. So, what to do now? To be honest, I don't know. I'm not promoting segregation either. I think it's pointless to make a modern version of Usenet/Fidonet/... for closed groups of like-minded people.

> Or that they get the investment they need and deserve.

From what is said in the article, they are getting the investment that they need, but things are moving slowly. I don't know how true that is, but I want to believe.
How the Domain Name System (DNS) works and how you can make it better
That was my starting point but I'd already played with neural nets when they first came out so that helped and I also did a lot of opencv stuff without any neural nets.

After that it was mostly googling each and every term that I didn't understand until it all started to make sense.

course.fast.ai is probably the fastest way to get something concrete going which is very useful if you need that instant gratification kick to keep going.
If you opened your PayPal account at all, close it now and open another for the next payment. Rumor has it that PP cares much more about not pissing off new customers than the old ones.

This works pretty well for me ever since my first account had been locked for bullshit reasons when I needed it most, of course with the money locked inside. Thankfully it was almost nothing, but thank you PP for reminding me to never keep anything of value in there.

Granted, I only use PP when I absolutely must, which is no more than maybe once a year, so setting and tearing down these accounts is no big deal. I traditionally select "poor customer service" and "worry about security" as the reason I quit :)
I'm pretty liberal about stuff like this and I honestly think it's pretty tasteless also.

I've often said that the sexism issue in tech is overblown (due to various agendas at work) but when you see shit like this (especially in the context of Tinder, a dating app), it's just hard to deny :/
Did you save your report? If you were signed in then you should be able to find it in My Reports. I can help you otherwise.
