That is what I was implying. Julian didn't think Obama would actually commute the sentence so said he'd turn himself in for free PR points.

Why is this on Hacker news?
In a way you're exactly correct and that's exactly why machine learning works. The models specify a huge range of possible input-output mappings and then do a dumb search to find the ones that work; the mappings that don't succeed are discarded. It turns out, surprisingly, this is the best approach we have come up with.

Past performance isn't a guarantee, but under mild conditions it is very strong evidence that there will be future results.

From what I've read, it's not uncommon for these types of malware to implement similar schemes. They send the HTTP requests to one of N domains over some period of time in order to detect whether or not the malware is being run inside of a sandbox. If the IP of every response matches, they cease to operate. Their intention, it seems, is to avoid in-depth analysis by researchers, hoping to prolong the malware's lifespan. However, in this particular case, such a check had the opposite effect.
I use it as something to worry about not knowing how to use, and how that might make me unemployable in a few years, while also having no obvious need for it at all, and therefore no easy avenue towards learning it, especially since it requires math skills which have completely rusted over because I also never need those, so I'd have to start like 2 levels down the ladder to work my way back up to it.

I've found it very effective in the role of "source of general, constant, low-level anxiety".
I wasn't saying HTML5 EME supported rootkits. DRM doesn't belong in the web standard, that's a fundamental belief of mine against DRM in general. I'm saying TBL and Netflix are both campaigning for non-rootkit-like DRM, better than the worst DRM, but DRM none the less. Netflix is a company, it's only real concern is making money, regardless what they're owners/employees personally believe, they won't get big budget films without it, so I understand why they're working for "Good" DRM. But no individual should be lobbying for "better" DRM.

tbh, a database, for example, for most startups is not hard on the beginning:

-installing MySQL

-Installing Apache

-installing PHP MyAdmin

-running some commands from shell and SQL

-done.

If you create a startup it is wise to know the basics as such and in case that you grow to hire people to pimp it up.

(Regarding a featured photo) Man, I really gotta find a way to invest in shipping containers. It's foolproof as of late!
I wonder when we'll achieve communication faster than moving physical medium for huge amounts of data. It's not so obvious since information density also keeps increasing.
I am a long-time Fastmail user who also was on the "lifetime" 16MB plan. Last year I switched because I wanted some features that were only available with a newer plan. I was a little annoyed to have to give up my lifetime plan but in my case it was more understandable.

I've been very happy with Fastmail for over a decade and this seems like one of the few missteps they've made. New "lifetime" 16MB accounts have not been available in years. It really doesn't seem that there could be very many of them still in active use that it would hurt anything to just continue to grandfather them, especially since they were sold explicitly as "lifetime" one-payment accounts.
"Private cars are an astonishingly inefficient use of space, and taxis are barely any better."

... and buses are even worse.

NYC works because of trains and as a proponent of train travel and public transportation (except buses) I believe they have indeed solved many problems with their diverse rail network.

Buses are a canard - they are the minimum viable public transport option that were pried out of suburban taxpayer hands and presented to poor urban (usually black) riders by planners who didn't care about public transportation at all.

This ruse has gone on so long that in 2017, well meaning (and brainwashed) proponents of public transportation see buses as one of the core components of a transport network. Wake up. This is false. You need subways and trains.

Well-functioning transit in cities that prioritize it use very few buses and they use them for weird stopgap or edge cases (or emergencies). BRT is a farce[1]. You should be demanding real, not fake, investment in transit networks. You should be demanding trains.

[1] To be fair, I have seen two very functional BRT models - both in very specific (and wealthy) environments: VelociRFTA in Aspen and Hop/Skip in Boulder. In both cases, however, a well-designed rail corridor would be even better.

And I'll need to bookmark this just for the lack of points and the deafening silence, for the next time I see some grandstanding on HN about luddites being paranoid about nuclear waste and dumb one-off accidents.

Agreed. I found it ironic that Apple considers the function area unused space so in their "Pro" line they replace it with something they view to be more usable but it seems most pro software[1] already made use of function keys, it's the consumer MacBook line that would miss the function row the least.

> it seemed like a losing battle with bonnet scans

I'm not sure I understand? fail2ban works like this:

it monitors configured log files for patterns/strings: in this case its looking for multiple failed logins within N minutes from the same IP.

If that condition is met, it adds an iptables rule to reject all connections from that IP.

If you're getting lots of random IPs, try tweaking the failures required or the timing window - you could reduce the number of failures and widen the window to better handle the situation where you might not get many hits from a given host.

If you're using key only access, you have much less to worry about: bots like that are just trying to defeat regular password auth. While its annoying unless its causing you network issues its not a concern once password auth is disabled.
I agree. And I doubt his fate is going to get any better in the future, unfortunately.
It really is a marvel when you think about it. The latency is horrible, several hours to several days, but each packet of data can contain several Pb of information inside of it. It comes with a built-in ACK method (phone call or site update), and the packet almost never needs to be verified externally because the data inside has all of its own integrity check methods.
Given the news about a Core i9 leak (https://techcrunch.com/2017/05/15/intel-could-be-about-to-re...) I would not be surprised if Apple had cut a deal with Intel to make a sku for the macbook pro.
It also means less memory latency per clock cycle.

It's probably the wrong thread to share my hopes for the next-gen but still.
My family owns four 2016 models (maxxed out both 13 inch and 15 inch, a pair used at a day job and a pair is personal) and we all experience similar issues:

a) Touch Bar reacting to fingers that are accidentally touch it while resting. Causes a lot of volume and Esc triggers. Latter is particularly annoying at it usually cleans Slack/Skype/other active text input.

b) Keyboard quality is terrible. My work machine does not respond to Option and Control presses anymore. My wife's machine has similar issues with up/down arrows.

c) I don't get why Apple changed default/native resolution to be non-retina trading extra screen real estate for image quality.

b) Last but certainly not least as mentioned on all previous MacBook threads starting October 2016: running Docker/minikube/Chrome/Slack and et voila: you have 4GB of RAM left.
I'm not even talking about ML/Data Science work: AMD GPUs are way behind even 1050 at the moment and I doubt that their new offering that is meant to compete with nVidia P100 will ever make it into a laptop.

Personally I think this news isn't real. Intel "promises" to release Cannonlake this year (thanks, AMD!) and I don't see much sense in either updating MacBooks with Kaby Lake nor releasing them just after 8 months after last refresh. That's the CPU that you get when company stops trying.

If they are going to mention MacBook Pro, I'd probably expect them to do a small price drop but not a refresh.
Hacker News isn't exclusively about startups and software.
I do not find your language or "phrasing" to be particularly warm, but I don't think it precludes us having a productive discussion on the matter. Your statement of me "wanting flamewars" is inappropriate if not just disappointing?

Re: shutdown of anything ever related to politics: I do not recall any political posts, specifically posts related to POTUS, in the last 12 months not being steadfastly flagged and summarily disappearing from the front page. This includes threads where the discussion (up to the point it is no longer on the front page) is entirely reasonable and non-combative, aside from the off-topic comments contained within it about how the "political posts do not belong on HN". On the other hand, people can get into a flamewar about the Apple campus and those posts stay.

There is clearly a dogma that exists about "political posts" those ten years of practice and it's clear we disagree. But that's OK. I'll have to, and can, live with not knowing the political opinions and insights on those matters from HN members.

I totally agree with you that cars are hilariously inefficient. Let alone single occupancy cars.

The problem is that most US cities are completely unwalkable, so you need a car once you hop out of the station, or you need an incredibly large subway system.

This is being proposed for LA initially, which is one of the most sprawled, least walkable cities in the US.

I wish we had more walkable cities here.

Curious if anyone has an idea how the multi-mouse system worked. My guess is that on the screen being shared, a transparent full-screen window is overlaid that just draws in the second mouse and that when this proxy mouse is clicked the event gets simulated on the sharer's side.

This effect was so cool and would love to see an open-source library that shows the effect over WebRTC. Curious if it's anything more complicated than that and why it's never been replicated by other packages.
While it may be true that Apple sometimes released hardware at WWDC in the last decade, there's still the elephant in the room; Why have no big name sites like fool.com or wsj put their name on this "leak" if it is real? When there's real hardware coming, those guys usually get the inside scoop (and preview hardware if weeks from release). They'd be furious if Apple let small beans sites scoop them.

CMU has a great reputation and has come out with a program that is likely to be very successful and the top question is about price.

Everyone in higher education should pay attention. We may be seeing the tipping point here where people start questioning whether the best move for them is to borrow $100k for a non-mgmt degree.

I think our generation will be the first to raise our kids by saying college is great, but only for the right price.
What I'm trying to say is that the number of cars on the road and miles driven aren't what matter to their autopilot learning, when compared to other self-driving companies. Most people use their car to go places comfortably, not to look out for learning experiences for Tesla.

With how long commutes are in the US, a very very small fraction of miles driven by people on autopilot will be other than "the car was already on the highway, autopilot changed lanes a few times, and after a while was manually disengaged to take an exit".

That small fraction is what could be compared with the miles and number of cars driven by the other companies, because in the latter case it's hired drivers actively looking for conditions of interest to the engineers.
A better, almost perfect analogy, is its a religious belief.

Even more accurately its a religious belief where its sole purpose is to state group allegiance and declare one's holiness.

Kind of like the right has global warming denialism, the left has transgender. The purpose of the talking point is to declare allegiance to a political group in public and count coup against those less politically fashionable. As such any declaration of disagreement benefits the believer, especially when the discussion happens in an echo chamber of true believers. "Its merely a test of faith" "I'm a better believer than you" "He's just a sinner going to hell" etc.

Fundamentally the whole mind-virus can be blamed on Protestantism. When the priest (Catholic or, frankly, Pagan or most other religions) was the arbiter of holiness granted by authority, things were stable. Once holiness was granted to anyone in the general public willing to declare themselves holier than thou, that toxic mind-virus spread out of religion and into everything from climate to sexuality and gender. Generally speaking holiness is a weapon and if it slips out of control into anarchy a civilization is doomed to collapse.

Reading this, the first thing that comes to mind is daily traffic in the city.

Rush hours are scheduled. You spend so much time waiting at lights, in traffic jams, etc. The roads are congested due to inherent capacity limits. And you're forced to interact with antisocial individuals speeding, texting, making dangerous lane changes, etc.

30 to 40 thousand people are killed every year in car crashes [in the US alone]. Millions are injured. I think I'd rather take my chances with the occasional "antisocial" person on public transit. Of course, given the ubiquity of cars and the massive (socialized) infrastructure to support them, they are useful sometimes.

There's also the fact that in many place you're practically forced to own a car (or at least are convinced that you absolutely need one (or two)). How is that not "tyrannical"?
I do not think this study can prove that carbonated soda causes weight gain, let alone obesity. People (and apparently mice) are not all "built" the same.
