The reality of life in Australia is that, if you are Aboriginal, you are vastly more likely to be abused as a child, you will die on average a decade earlier than the rest of the country, and as far as anyone can tell, much the same will be true for your children - life could be a little better for them, because the gaps seem to be narrowing, but they aren't narrowing fast enough to reach parity before those children reach adulthood. This is an uncomfortable truth for most Australians to hear, but at least it's talked about. What isn't widely talked about, and what is even more uncomfortable to a lot of people, is that poverty/abuse/anti-social behaviour can be passed down to kids by parents, and that this is why they are cycles.

It's hard to draw a line between pointing out uncomfortable truths in an effort to help, which I consider the role of a political cartoonist, and just slandering the Aboriginal people, which I consider racism. I give Bill Leak the benefit of the doubt because the policeman is Aboriginal. If the policeman was white, I would see the cartoon as blatantly racist, but I believe Leak deliberately made the policeman Aboriginal to contrast the two men: the successful policeman futilely trying to pull a kid out of a downwards spiral, the alcoholic absentee father unable to help, and the son who's already begun to inherit the problems of his father and might one day be in his father's position.

Even if I've read the cartoon correctly, I don't think it was very good, since it clearly failed to communicate its message. What I think of when I see it, though, is one of the Koori kids I went to primary school with, who we'll call Eli. Eli's father was jailed for drug trafficking when we were young, and didn't come back to Eli's mother when he got out. Eli himself grew up to be jailed when he was in his early twenties, after an assault related to drug trafficking, and Eli has a kid on the outside just like his dad did. Racist or not, effective or not, the cartoon accurately shows the process by which Eli ended up in jail.

Because this is Hacker News and there's so few superstar supercomputer architects (Seymour Cray, Steve Chen, Daniel Hillis) that it should be possible to recite their life stories off the top of one's head.
>I can imagine some (smaller) companies not being fully aware of open source license specifics and unknowingly running into a lawsuit

This is not a real problem until there are licensing trolls, where their sole purpose is to make money off of breaches.

If a company receives a lawsuit, they can claim ignorance and start to comply with the contract. This would change it into a minor breach of contract, where they would only be liable for actual damages caused. Actual damages would either be nothing or fairly impossible to prove, so the lawsuit would likely be dropped.
I wasn't making fun of him. I genuinely thought he was joking.
That's a good idea, very similar to map makers hiding small deficits to find copiers.

That gets awfully close to DRM, though.
I ended up walking out about halfway through it. I had no problems with the casting (I though Scarlet did a good job), and the visual effects were stunning. It was the writing and plot that weren't good. I found it missing all the implied sub-plots (it was overly simple - as you said - dumbed down).

I also found myself missing the interludes from the animated film. The scenes with the canals, the jet passing overhead between the buildings. They all had a beauty to them and they let you reflect on what happened in the previous scene. This film proceeded too quickly from one scene to another, likely because the studio was afraid people would get bored if something wasn't happening every single moment.
Yup, the extensions are annoying, but luckily many are packaged, at least in Debian. I have one to get sane Alt-Tab behaviour, a media player indicator, a weather extension (in the middle of the top bar, next to the clock), one to get a suspend button, and another one to arrange my workspaces in a grid. Of those, only the last one isn't part of the gnome-shell-extension* packages. It's annoying to have to use a "tweak tool" to manage this stuff.

How is that now?
My undergrad was in computer science, although I would say this wasn't the case for most of my classmates. There were a lot of students from other engineering fields (like Mech E or civil), Math, Stats, physics, bio, and business.
Lawns, in general, are not environment-friendly because of the need to use fuel to cut it and for spraying chemicals to keep the weeds and mosquitoes out. I lost the battle with my HOA to completely take the lawn out and instead just plant some useful trees. People don't realize how much money they spend on a 30 year basis to keep the lawns healthy.

Those incentives come with costs. In their case, it was better to know they didn't have to worry about making a loan payment every month for years when their overall financial future was a little iffy at the time - prudent when the main income earner's health was failing. It wound up being the correct decision, as my father died a couple years later.

This would prevent the attack but would be difficult to implement for existing car models.

The car most probably lacks the hardware to send at 315 MHz. Not that the key had the ability to receive either, but that means that you'd not only have to replace the key fobs but do a full recall campaign with new hardware in the car.
While this comment is perhaps a little more cynical that I would've gone with, the fact is that a whole lot of the most valuable SV companies have never turned one bit of actual profit. When regulations finally come about that put the lid on a lot of the personal information market, a whole lot of these companies are going to have to find a way to make money that doesn't involve scraping user's information, and I think that will be a red letter day for a lot of these companies.

Umm, so when you buy a copy of a proprietary software, why don't you have to sign and/or agree to the EULA?

Also, does the seller have to reimburse you if you decline the license (and of course return the copy)?

So you pay for the copy but not for the license, and you got the license free if you paid for the copy, right? (But of course that license comes with a lot of restrictions, just like the GPL.)

But the important thing seems to be that the GPL binds distributors. It's a contract between developers and distributors. (Sure, it's a contract between anybody that acquires a copy.)

Is there a coherent legal overview of this?
Eve is a game I have never played, but enjoy reading about. It may be the largest, longest running economic simulation out there. Two good stories: https://www.polygon.com/features/2014/2/24/5419788/eve-onlin... and https://www.polygon.com/2016/3/31/11334014/eve-online-war
Well, like I said. For me it's not a matter of what's right or wrong, just the fucking with of characters that I care about because the same Hollywood stars in every other movie have to be in this one too. I grow tired of the monotony.

The Gun Slinger was definitely white in the long series of comic books which Stephen King helped create, so I'm not sure how anyone can say that it was just in their minds. But any adaptation of a epic series of novels into a couple hours of film is going to have to change drastically anyways. And I'm usually excited to see Idris Elba in something. GITS was already in movie format, and the core of the story could have been done justice.
Westworld is a really interesting thing. They partly live from what they (ironically?) criticise: Boobs and Gore for entertainment. Incerdibly well made though, I hope the "us against them" of machine and humans will blur a bit further.

This is one (windows) kernel instance running apps built for linux. VMWare just starts a new OS instance on the same PC - but it has a separate memory/FS/scheduler/drivers/etc. a lot of overhead, duplication and sync work.

Say there's a tool that doesn't have a Windows version, like Facebook Flow didn't have - you can just install the necessary packages and run the linux app on your project folder - plenty of dev tools are built on top of *nix and Windows is a second class citizen in OSS - this solves that problem nicely. Or you can use linux GCC/clang to build the linux binaries on Windows and not muck around with cross compiling.
>The sales guys are still often idiots.

Ugh. I was test driving a car I knew almost nothing about recently. I'm in the market for a fun weekend driver as a second car, and this one caught my eye on the dealer lot. I was looking at the car when a salesman approached me (I did not approach him, and I did not look at any other cars). I asked him to let me take it for a drive, and while we were driving I was asking him questions about it. "I don't know" was his only response.

I'm sitting here in the drivers seat of a two-seater sports car doing 110mph down the highway and this guy is completely silent. "Does it have a turbo?" I don't know. "How big is the engine?" I don't know. "How many gears does it have?" I don't know. "How fast can I be going while putting the roof down?" Actually on this one his response was "let's give it a shot" and started lowering the roof at highway speeds. Luckily it apparently can handle that.

Turns out the guy just started working there about two months prior and had never even heard of the car we were driving, he'd only sold Jeeps and pickup trucks and sedans up to that point. He just wanted the commission from selling a car he knew nothing about.

I liked the car, but I will not buy from them.
I don't know how sed and perl compare, but I know these things:

Use a C local (e.g. LANG=C or LC_ALL=C) for dramatic speed up of tools like grep/sort and probably also sed. If you don't do that, usually the UTF-8 parser kicks in, which is a lot slower.

Perl is actually well known to have a non-optimal regex implementation: https://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/regexp1.html That said, I don't know how fast it is (what optimizations it has) at simple string substitutions.
Awesome. I love this project, keep up the good work.

How does this compare to the pre-automation practice mentioned above of cashiers manually making a tally of how many men/women of each age group were visiting?

I mean, this is literally the "global village" coming to fruition. The online shopkeeper knows you just as well as a shopkeeper in a real village - it knows who you are, it remembers all your previous visits, it knows your hobbies (even if you didn't tell him about them, but someone else in the village), it can make suggestions based on that.

When you buy flowers, the village shopkeeper knows not only who's buying them, but also has a good idea for whom these flowers are intended. That's where we're heading.

This is the level of (non)privacy that we historically had, living in much smaller communities than modern cities. The trend of more anonymity brought by urbanization is reversing, but it's not something new or horrible, if anything, the possibility of being just another face in the crowd is an anomaly that existed for a (historically) short time and is slowly coming to an end once more.
Interesting perspective. I can't help but think of what happened with E3 and PAX.

E3 decided that they wanted to be an industry only event and banned the general public and all but a handful of elite media companies. In reaction Penny-Arcade launched PAX as an E3 replacement for the general public, one that also focused more specifically on gaming than E3 had been. PAX was almost immediately a roaring success and E3 continued to slide into obscurity.

It will be interesting if we see a similar dynamic play out here, with say Netflix launching a Streaming Media Festival or something.
In a brushless DC motor, the rotor is a magnet, and the stator is a series of electromagnets that can be powered independently, yes. But the rotor is still usually at the center. You're dead right on why it can be brushless - the bit that moves is the permanent magnet. One other important difference is that the coils need to be controlled by a computer of some sort to get the timing right to make a rotating magnetic field and keep the magnet spinning.
"there’s not a lot of evidence for silly Juicero-style startups being much of the Silicon Valley business community at all."

"Origin (“Keurig for smoothies”), MoveButter, which compares itself to three different companies I’ve never heard of in its first sentence but seems to be grocery-related in some way; Mere Coffee, a better-tasting coffee machine for small businesses"

All of those businesses just sound like Juicero. A “Keurig for smoothies” is just Jucero with a small pivot.
> If you want to use it in a closed source work, it very much limits your freedoms.

It's the copyright law which prevents you from using GPL software in closed source works, not the GPL. GPL doesn't care about proprietary software at all, leaving it at the mercy of status quo. It only grants some additional rights to users and developers of free software.
This is not equivalent. The key distinction in the device from OP's post is that it actually connects to the OBD port in your car, giving you a direct connection the cars systems. The one you linked does not seem to do that at all.
Interesting. So maybe it wasn't just my imagination.

I remember butterflies being everywhere in Spring in this area when I was a kid. Fields and air full of 'em for weeks. Monarchs especially, but all kinds. I haven't seen that kind of thing even once in probably a decade, at least.

And the windshield thing. I hadn't really thought about it, but I remember my parents having to scrape the windshield just about every gas-station stop to get rid of several really bad splatters. Now I rarely get even one bad one, and almost never need to scrape, even on road trips.

> Congress needs to pass a law forbidding contracts from forcing individuals into arbitration.

Congress, unfortunately, passed almost exactly the opposite law. The American courts traditionally disfavored binding arbitration, viewing it as a kind of illegitimate private court usurping the power of the proper courts. The Federal Arbitration Act (1925) overturned that norm with regard to federal-court cases, and the Supreme Court controversially ruled in 1984 [1] that the FAA preempted state anti-arbitration laws as well, which is when binding arbitration really began to take off.

Also, its veto, not vito and the Governor General's reserve powers are a check on the Government. In the history of the Commonwealth of Australia these powers have been used twice:
1) On 13 May 1932, when the Governor of New South Wales Sir Philip Game dismissed the Government of New South Wales.
2) On 11 November 1975, when the Governor-General of Australia Sir John Kerr dismissed the Commonwealth Government.

In both cases an election was held very soon afterwards and, again in both cases, the dismissed government was massively defeated by popular vote.

I have no clue about Watson and Machine Learning, I mean I've talked to people and quickly glanced at the platforms. But in terms of the speech processing, does that not require any back-end at all? I'm assuming your using the browsers API to capture sound and then passing this off to Watson in some back-end method to analyze? Or can this seriously be done all fron-end? Pretty amazing if so.
Just use POSIX-compatible sh instead of bash. It's also not hard to use mostly POSIX-compatible commands (grep, sed, cat, cp, mkdir ...).

So I have been doing what I shall call applied machine learning since I was in college when I built an ad classifier for a web crawler I was building at the time. I made the real transition while working in the search team of a web company almost 10 years ago now.

Let me first say that I am unlikely to ever design a new novel algorithm like an SVM kernel. I have however studied ML theory extensively and have a good grasp of the underlying math. I also had the advantage of working in medical research starting in high school and even before college I had learned a lot about statistics and was comfortable using a tool like SPSS to perform ROC analysis as well as gaining a solid understanding of what real statistical rigor was.

I, and those I know and work with, do a lot more than clone some repos from GitHub and see if they work. Typically there is some sort of a business problem that needs solving. Sometime we know of an approach that will work but often there is a literature survey that needs to be conducted to see if anyone has solved a similar enough problem and written about it. I am comfortable reading ML/NLP literature and evaluating the methodologies described. Often there is some open source stuff to get us started but rarely (I can't think of any, but its early in the morning) have I been able to put together a complete solution without solving some difficult problems on my own.

If I were to give someone advice it would be probably not the advice that they would want but here goes. I assume that the person would already have a solid mathematical foundation like engineering calculus.
1. Start by getting solid foundation in statistics and probability.
2. You will need a foundation in linear algebra.
3. Find a mentor(s) that can help you with both the theoretical side of ML and the applied side. In my case they were different people.
4. Implement some learning algorithms from scratch. I build a NN library a long time ago. I never used it in a production application but the learnings it gave me are still invaluable.
5. Read the research. You need to feel comfortable picking up a paper, understanding it, and evaluating whether you should believe the authors or not.

Maybe there are shorter roads. Personally I don't believe so. I was lucky to be paid to learn these skills through my career. I am sure there are people who are smarter than me or who can just learn by reading. I learn by doing. But this has led to success for me and I think gave me the ability to succeed in different environments, using different technologies, and long before the entire world was so enamored with deep learning.
