Ask HN: What's the cleverest or most indispensable recipe you've seen for IFTTT?
For IFTTT, Microsoft Flow, Zapier, etc: what are the cleverest or most useful recipes you've seen? I ask because a lot of the examples seem to lack vision. It's fun to get an email when you upload a photo, or retweet a facebook post. But what, if anything, has been done with these services that is outright indispensable? Have they ever saved your butt or made you money?
In AUS it's much like chatmasta says: if its a CC linked a true "credit" account the issuer has the value entirely underwritten. If you can reasonably prove that someone stole it for example, then you'll get your money [credit] back.

If it's linked to a savings account and it's a Visa/MC debit card, for example, then it's a different story. The funds are not insured and so if you loose it it's on you.

I dont see Uber itself having done it. Levandowski was the one who downloaded the documents when he was a Google engineer. It has not been proven and is very unlikely that Uber asked him to download the documents or knew about it. If Uber did not know that he downloaded documents, then I dont see how Uber did the wrong thing here.

In fact, Google's Java lawsuit with Sun/Oracle seemed worse for Google to me, as Google empployees openly discussed in emails that they were violating licensing terms and still did it.

Are there more to email addresses that were leaked? how do we know they did not?

My main pet peeve with cargo is lack of support for binary crates.

Compiling the whole world, including dependencies is big waste of time.

I already tried to play around with workspaces to see if at least crates only get compiled once.

With other AOT compiled languages I use, zero third party dependencies are compiled from scratch.
Not being facetious: what is the worst that can be done with stolen email addresses? Spam?
The tale of a lonely Cassandra node
In response to: "could be interpreted as a violation of his oath of office"

The oath of office of the president of the united states is as follows: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." [1]

There is nothing in this oath about the president not having the ability to make a judgement call over what national security information to share with an ally in a given conflict. Nor does the constitution say anything on the matter.

Whenever we get into "could be interpreted territory" with no basis in the letter of the document we are getting in to the territory where we let our prejudices decide our verdict. This unfortunately seems to be the trend across American political discussion today.

Whether this was a good call or bad call by the president, neither you nor I are really in a position to say, as we both know that we are getting an incomplete and politically motivated leak without full context of the discussions.

Please be careful with blanket statements like this. HashMap, Hashtable and ConcurrentHashMap behave differently in certain (subtle?) ways. ConcurrentHashMap doesn't like NULL but is thread-safe. Hashtable is synchronized, slow and thread-safe, but doesn't mind NULL. HashMap is not thread safe and doesn't mind NULL.

> Your response is like saying "human rights violations are such a big problem that we shouldn't do anything about it".

No, it's not like saying that at all. I'm saying that companies are large, impersonal things nonetheless filled entirely with people with very personal goals and problems all uniquely their own, and all those people have to work together. At the base of it, these are people's decisions affecting other people. Are there bad things that happen to decent people at Amazon? Of course there are, just like at any other company. Acknowledging it doesn't mean condoning it, just as you pointing it out in an inflammatory way shouldn't imply Amazon neither knows nor cares about it. Amazon is not the sum total of the bad people decisions aired out in the online press.

Recognizing there are problems but not doing anything about them? _That_ is an issue worthy of scorn. If anyone's company does nothing when people problems are brought to the fore, _that_ is a problem that needs fixing.

Amazon's problems are under the magnifying glass in forums like this because Amazon is doing things that make the company exceedingly visible: the good and the bad shows up under that same lens. How often do you read on Hacker News about bad people decisions that IBM or HP are making? It's naive to think that because we don't hear about them that they have never had, don't have, and never will have any of the problems for which you are excoriating Amazon.

I think a lot of the confusion here is what constitutes a "version" of windows 10.
Yeah, I agree with this. This confused me when I first started using the language. I do think there could be some better options for caching or downloading precompiled packages, but I also think this has partly helped with the development effort in Rust as well. That being said, a system wide cached package repo could work, but it also has issues (looking at you Maven) so it would be interesting to figure out how to get it "right" when dealing with source packages.

This old issue discusses a bunch of this: https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/610 I couldn't find another in a brief search.

Edit: I should add that it does harken back a bit to my Gentoo days, where recompiling the world for that 10-15% architecture boost was a lot of fun, but also a waste of time in general ;)
Of course I don't, but I don't think it's an important aspect in any case.

I think the user experience is more important than the developer experience. Using shared libraries that are likely already in memory provides a better user experience because it's faster, more stable, more secure and uses less memory.

The cargo approach will end up with windows/node level bloat where every app bundles half an OS.
>Nonetheless, you are understanding of the sneering of the folks who are rich enough

Whoosh. Yes, but not because they are rich, but because at least it makes logical sense to look down on someone regarding his business if you actually have a bigger business.

OTOH, it doesn't make sense to sneer on someone's business if you only have the idea/dellusion/etc. that you'll make it much bigger than them.

Contrast that with what exactly is provided by healthcare insurance executives, bankers, lawyers, lobbyists, and certain departments in government.

To be blunt: once you note the fact that other countries in the world can provide healthcare at fractions of the cost, it's obvious those insurance execs, politicians, and lobbyists are eating value, not creating it. The contrast is that Doctors actually produce something of value.
Ardour 5.9 released
> Backing some figures out then, the actual cash cost is $1.4 billion to develop a drug. They rely on a 11.8% clinical success rate for that figure, so if you back out the drugs that were abandoned along the way (since they won't need late-stage human safety studies), it's more like $165M to develop a self-originated drug if you believe the self-supplied pharma figures.

The actual cost to develop a single successful drug, if you pass all the clinical trials, is in the ballpark of $500M or so. Dividing the total cost by success rate isn't an accurate number since the cost varies based on where you fail: the expensive bits are the clinical trials at the end, so finding out that the drug is a failure sooner cuts your costs considerably. The Phase III clinical trial by itself is well over $100M, much more if you're doing a large, long-term clinical study for a difficult problem (say, Alzheimer's or cancer). Something like 50% of all drugs fail in phase III.
$600k for an Ethereum Name? A Thriving Auction Market Is Underway
>Sure. That's why they specified ...some startup multi-millionaire/billionaire ... Because money is not relevant to their point.

Yes, "sure".

My argument was clear enough, and as the parent wrote "it's not about money or class, it's about success in a particular field and judgement of that particular field". What part of either seems difficult to parse?

Obviously money is relevant to my point in so much as it serves as the proof of that startup/unicorn success. The idea, and it's bizarro that I have to state it again, is rather that if you're to sneer at somebody for not "making it big" with their business, it only makes sense if you do it while yourself having a bigger business.

That's why I wrote millionaire/billionaire, not because I hold millionaires/billionaires in high esteem, or find it OK for them to look down on people.

I just find it more logical for a more succesful in business person to sneer at a less succesful in business regarding the latters business success, than the opposite.

In many cases this is true but it is important to note that for deep learning, the training was the hard part that was missing for a long time. Better weight initialization and momentum methods were what really made deep networks work (not just GPUs, as some people tend to believe).
AWESOME!

Can you please elaborate a bit more on the model architecture and what you tried with respect to transfer learning?

Did you use an imagenet architecture e.g. VGG and retrain from scratch or a custom architecture? Did you try chop off the last 1/2/3 layers of a prerrained mode and fine-tune?

Bonus points:
1. How much better were your results trained from scratch vs fine-tuned?
2. How long did it take to train your model and on what hardware?

That mirrors my impression as well. I like Amazon for their fast and certain next day delivery, but I only go there when I already know what I want. Research and discovery definitely happens elsewhere. Amazon is simply too cluttered, lacking curation and in-depth information. Customer reviews are useless to me as well - I prefer to gather opinions from niche forums full of enthusiasts and experts.

> Cargo does it's own dependency management

Exactly, that's why it's a "fuck the package manager" approach, it ignores the package manager.

> If you're pre-building something and pushing a package for say dpkg or rpm

The problem is multi copies of the same dependencies everywhere adding all sorts of bloat and security issues. Not to mention introducing it's own incompatibilities.

> Should an OS want to bless crates, cargo does have an override for crates.io

That's a recipe for dll hell if I've ever heard one.

Why not? You can assign a domain to S3 buckets. It can be just as pretty as it is today. The only difference is if he serves them directly from S3, the domain will be different from the creation API.

But considering the additional features he's planning on adding, he will probably need to proxy S3 anyway, so not sure if it's worth it in this case.

But for something of the scope of the current API, S3 is the perfect solution.
I think I understand your opinion, but I'm asserting development time is wierd. Sometimes I need the bleeding edge. Sometimes I'm debugging the bleeding edge.

The problem with that argument is that you can—and people do—make it about every urgent story, of which there are more than enough to crowd out everything else.

HN is a certain kind of site and not another. It's organized around clear principles: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and https://news.ycombinator.com/newswelcome.html. If we ditch those principles because of the political intensity of the moment (or the year, or years), HN becomes something else entirely. Our job as a community (and ours as moderators) is not to let that happen.

The worst thing to post or upvote is something that's intensely but shallowly interesting: gossip about famous people, [...], partisan political articles, etc. If you let that sort of thing onto a news site, it will push aside the deeply interesting stuff, which tends to be quieter.
