>Imagine constantly viewing yourself as a failure for 18+ years because you are unable to control your child's behavior

I understand this sentiment, but looking at it from another angle, this sentiment suggests control/blame issues on the part of the parent. Which itself can be classified as a "mental illness".

This highlights how often the macro social environment is ignored in the production of mental issues, and how the blunt of the blame is placed on the individual.
Checking for issues with loan photos as they are posted. It's been interesting to find that many ML platforms and libraries don't do a great job of recognizing humans with dark skin. Hopefully, by adding Kiva's 1 mil+ images to the mix we can give them a better basis point to learn from. Hoping to use it for a lot of other things as well, but we're still getting to know how to leverage it.

I get your point. It would be chauvinistic if I said that we are so strong that we can't be taken by force (which is impossible), while actually I'm just saying that we are too corrupt (so that every time a pivotal point comes, someone gets bribed and betrays). And also, I'm speaking of the last 300 years, and not really the _entire_ history.
The problem here (and the reason you are getting downvoted, I believe) is you think your anecdote of your friends' opinions trumps falcolas' anecdote about his/her family as untrue, instead of imagining the colorful world it is with various shades of conservatism living side by side.

For what its worth, I have family that believe like grandparent's family. Your anecdotes cannot convince them or me what their beliefs really are. This line of opinion does exist.
I'm not using it at this moment, but in a couple of weeks I'll have a newborn, and I was thinking of taking pictures of him every time he is upset, and then tagging the photo with what ends up being the resolution (feed, change, or nap) and seeing if I could build a classifier that could figure out what he needs just from a picture of his angry face.

It's not my place to educate you about why existing social norms should at least matter to you, regardless of whether you agree with them or not, so I'll let you learn those lessons on your own.

Also comparing sex in the workplace with gay persecution makes you look like an idiot. Sorry to be so blunt, but that's a completely unreasonable comparison. Are you going to compare it to slavery next?

If you're overwhelmed, just remember that the default diet is to eat things that exist in nature at the levels that they exist in nature: Fish, Meat, Fruits, Nuts, Vegetables. This is the default.

Once you start there, you need to look for evidence to switch to eating pizza and burgers and sodas... which there isn't any convincing evidence, just a constant stream of studies about how bad junk food is. It's much less overwhelming to look at it this way I think.
Supposed people who otherwise seem very interested in nuclear energy discussed this as the interesting puzzle it is. How many would die? Apparently, all of them. Hence my comment, though its point seems to have escaped you. My concern isn't primarily nuclear radiation, my concern is the weakness of people who weren't even exposed to a lot of it.

I don't pretend to have the full numbers, but I guess things are more complicated here in Brazil than in the US.

A common fuel station here usually have 8 pumps, and usually 4 employees to operate at a time. Due to laws on working hours, etc, there may be 2 or 3 shifts. Without going into peak hours and different # of people per shifts, a standard station may easily have 10-15 employees. Then multiply what you pay to each employee by 2 due to taxes, etc.

Not saying it's the highest of the expenses, but employees in Brazil adds up to the operation costs. It's one of the main complaints in business here.
Oh come on, this is stretching the accepting definition of malware a mile and then some.

This is FUD plain and simple without facts to back it up.

Microsoft releasing details of vulnerabilities in advance to premier customers is not something new. All software companies have that practice and we have seen it happen with recent OpenSSL vulnerabilities when CloudFlare has been given advance notice.
Right... here is a bit of a sarcastic retort: "just use this thing called Github. Don't worry that you have no idea what Git actually is... log on to Github and start saving stuff there. Commit you ask? Don't worry, don't code anything!"

Investors will not see his 10% ownership as a red flag any more than they will see a non participating investor owning 25% of the business as a red flag. In this case, he/she delivered 18 months of value that led to a 1.5mm pre money val.

The most fair option is already mentioned - to maintain your 33% that makes all three of the founders equal as of today, and then allocate a new share allotment to dilute you out over a new specified vesting period.

If you want to show future investors good will, ask to maintain a seat on the board.
This idea is pointless. A "code of ethics" is useless unless you have a way of enforcing it, because different people have entirely different ethical standards. IoT manufacturers do not care about security, they only care about selling you a cheaply-made device and making a profit, and enhancing security will merely reduce that profit. So unless you have some way of creating standards for security, and then forcing manufacturers to abide by these standards, then any talk of codes of ethics is a waste of time. These companies aren't going to change out of the goodness of their hearts, and consumers aren't going to research the security of these products before buying them (for 2 reasons: it's an afterthought to them, and they wouldn't know how to measure this anyway except for looking for reviews claiming that their device was hijacked into a botnet).

I disagree on the last point. I think Apple moving up spec refreshes of the MBP to Q2 makes a lot of sense given that Intel's release cycle on chips tends to be Q4. A small Kaby Lake refresh in the MBP, potentially with a 32gb RAM option on the 15" model, could very well be in the cards.

> I'm leaving a startup I founded due to disagreements over team/strategy. I worked on it for about 16 months.

> Is it reasonable for me to keep 10% of it. - They think it's way too much.

33% over a 48 month vesting schedule is:

16/48*.33 is 11%.

Option A) Ask for 11% of the money raised, 11% of the company, or some combination thereof. (i.e. Keep 5% and sell them 6% for ~$30k)

Option B) Dilute you over time as the company grows.

A is about as low as its reasonable for them to offer you. If they aren't willing to meet that bar, just hold on to the full amount you are entitled until they agree.
While I like the sentiment - hacking a flying car seems like a terrible example! Regulations on any flying passenger transport don't seem like they would, or should, ever allow this to happen.

Hacking around on the flying car's infotainment systems, suitably isolated from the rest of the flying car's systems - sure.
I included a link to the tweet's source.

AFAIK, this CVE's "Date Entry Created" is an interesting metadata artifact without any additional significance currently (no futher background info publicly available at this time). I don't know if MITRE makes any additional info (such as "who") public, though I'm sure it is stored somewhere.

I haven't had a chance to review the same value for other CVE's to determine how "normal" it is for the create date to be so long before when the CVE goes public, nor how things correlate for the associated Shadow Brokers fixes.

That's a great insight to use Kiva as training data, because I agree that not recognizing dark skinned people is a huge problem with current facial recognition datasets.

This will get worse as more retail establishments use image recognition in their every day operation.
In traffic, you have to look at both throughput and carrying capacity. Traffic jams usually result when the carrying capacity gets strained, not throughput. (The throughput of stop-and-go traffic is lower than the throughput of 70 mph traffic, but the road can carry more cars in total, so that equilibrium dominates when the load coming from surface streets exceeds some threshold.)
I had VR sickness bad, but it is the same sickness I felt playing portal on my PC the first time, and watching cloverfield. I definitely think it is more for me around the disconnect between visual and body motion.

Very good! This reminds me of an old zen tale:

>Two men were arguing about a flag flapping in the wind. "It's the wind that is really moving," stated the first one. "No, it is the flag that is moving," contended the second. A Zen master, who happened to be walking by, overheard the debate and interrupted them. "Neither the flag nor the wind is moving," he said, "It is MIND that moves."
Item 1 is especially bad because the whole intent of jargon is to be clear to readers of the same or similar technical level. There's an engineer at work who occasionally tries to harangue me into applying these rules to technical documents and emails to other engineers because she thinks they're "unclear." They're not unclear, she just doesn't have the technical aptitude in my field to read them.
Yes, most. But two counterexamples that readily come to mind are Haloperidol and Chlorpromazine (Thorazine) - still in widespread use.

Summary - we need open-source licenses for flying cars, so our children can tinker with the kernel code, since the current Liunx kernel is too complex for children starting out.

I've always wondered about teaching Linux "history" via hands-on with older hardware and OS (like 2.x kernel building on an older version of Slackware with a 486 or Pentium 90).

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

You seem confused. The default/native resolution IS Retina.

Retina is exactly about trading "extra screen real estate for image quality".

There's no "change", that was what Retina was about all along.

The other mode doesn't make much sense -- to have larger dpi but tiny screen elements on 15" or 13" screen, and scalable doesn't work as well with legacy apps and most stuff than "pixel doubling" does.

You can help them understand by writing and submitting documentation. Let's be honest, the linux kernel documentation mostly sucks and (more commonly) doesn't exist.

Why aren't more people deploying FPGAs like this? I started looking into using FPGAs for distributed systems work about six years ago when I was building a distributed database. Since then, about once a month I come across some problem that an FPGA could be useful for (i.e., enhance the performance enough that something otherwise infeasible becomes feasible). The devices themselves aren't that expensive (<$100) so why doesn't every server have one? Is there some hidden cost I'm not aware of (socket real estate, power consumption)? Or is it just a chicken-and-egg problem with not enough engineers asking for them because they don't know how they work because they're not more widely deployed?

> I have no problem with mandatory labeling of violent or sexual content in movies or music. It helps me make decisions and it doesn't deprive adult consumers of anything.

Not really true -- it affects funding and distribution of cultural artefacts, and this becomes very evident if you go to a modern cinema complex. It can be a very alienating experience if you are not a child or a parent.

I understand that rating helps you make choices, but it is not for the people who like these restrictions to decide if the burden they are placing on everyone else is justifiable or not.
Children growing up today won't learn C programming by reading the Linux kernel source code.

With any luck, children growing up today won't learn C at all, or at least ONLY for historical understanding. It is an absolute security nightmare. Do we not want the next generation to exclusively use safe languages?

Ask HN: How can China not own the world?
In every thread concerning the expected rebalancing of power between the US and China, people one the US side tend to use various points like the recent history of Japan to remind that growth is not infinite.

No-one however mentions that China plays a totally different role from everyone else so far by:

- preventing foreigners to invest and benefit from the growth.

- Preventing locals from actually owning land long term, ensuring their citizens slowly own the world piece by piece as it is their safest investment.

- Having the fastest growing middle class in the world, and yet more room for growth (700m+ farmers) than the entire north American continent.

Am I crazy to think there is no way in hell that China will not own the world in a few dozens of years at the latest? I'm not talking about a soft American-style world domination through culture, military and business, as people can actually benefit from American growth by investing in America. I'm more talking about a total ownership. The only way I see around it is military, but then again it's a matter of money, technology, and education, that China has (or will soon have / buy) in larger quantities than the rest of the world.

Is this view too simplistic? I'd like to be enlightened.
For much of the last 20 years, the opposition party was constantly threatening to impeach the sitting president. It's a symptom of just how unbelievably divided things have become.

Personally I think impeaching Trump would be a strategic mistake unless there really is something pressing that requires it-- like he really is objectively selling America down the river to Putin or doing something equally bad. Impeaching Trump would give us President Pence, who is in many ways worse than Trump. It would be better to wait for the likely Democratic landslide in 2018, which will render him a lame duck, and then prep for a "you're fired" 2020 election.

Besides, letting this windbag sit in the big chair and make an ass out of himself is probably bad for the Republicans. Give him more rope.
They are their best selling macbooks ever.
I'm a bit skeptical of how much of a problem this really is. I have never noticed it in VR. Perhaps because:

1. Display resolution is still quite low, so really everything is blurry.

2. You will never be able to notice blurriness where you aren't focused anyway because you aren't looking there! Everything is always blurry in your peripheral vision.

3. Surely eye focus is a feedback system, like in cameras? I mean nobody has problems focusing on TVs because your eyes just magically change focal length until the image is sharp.

I am stereoblind so maybe it is a big problem for others.

No, don't do that. Most credit card companies require you to try and resolve the issue with the merchant before filing a chargeback. Sometimes they give you a time period, e.g. at least 30 days.
Breaking into Product Management
Apple doesn't report out MBP numbers separately, it bundles them with all products in the Mac line.

Mac product sales declined 10% YoY from 25.4B in 2015 to 22.8B in 2016. Units shipped were also down 10% YoY from 20.6M to 18.5M. Apple's explanation: Mac net sales and unit sales decreased during 2016 compared to 2015. The year-over-year decline in Mac unit sales during 2016 was at rates similar to the overall market. The effect of weakness in most foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar also negatively impacted Mac net sales.

The entire Mac line only makes up ~10% of Apple's revenues, whereas iPhone sales generate ~60% of revenue, so the MBP (guesstimate: 1-2% of overall revenue?) is not hugely important to Apple.

The explanation of FPGAs between 5:00 and ~12:00 was very very good.

TL;DW:

- FPGAs are more power-efficient than CPUs and GPUs

- FPGAs are more flexible than ASICs

FPGAs vs CPUs:

- CPU: Sequentially apply instructions on data in place

- FPGA: In parallel, flow data through instructions in place
