Here's my code: https://gist.github.com/timbennett/9c1614281797ce620c6069476...

You'll need to experiment to find the right value for the variable 'alpha' in the script. This controls each frame's opacity: too high and it will be overexposed, too low and it will be dark. It's roughly in the range 5/n to 40/n where n is the number of frames in the video, but depends on the film's overall moodiness too.

If you're going to run it on a feature film length video, I suggest making a low-resolution version (e.g. 144p) and fine-tuning alpha on that, since it will be significantly less frustrating.

LL Bean jeans aren't too bad, but they have thin pocket material.

I really wish I could have the old Levis 505s back. No, the new ones aren't the same. No, the 550s are not a good alternative. I just want "regular fit" jeans with a normal rise, not the low-rise jeans everyone else seems to want.
> My theory has been that people with ADHD tend to end up having lives with rough social interaction, and you end up living a childhood more prone to "creative" endeavors like reading books or other activities you can do alone.

I know quite a few people with ADHD and they are the opposite, they tend to have trouble reading books, especially thick ones, due to their trouble to focus for longer periods. But they all love social interaction and are very good at it.

I'm going to speculate wildly, and declare that IBM has several serious self-driving-car-related engagements that it must commit to, while exiting other engagements that involve stagnant technologies.

It's migrating away from some existing specialized staff, to make room to onboard other staff with different skills as part of a play to attack a set of problems that will be kind of a big deal.

IBM doesn't typically do a lot of real things directly. They operate in the B2B realm. They exited personal computing when mobile devices emerged, and have since focused on what we now term as AI/ML.

Everyone knows there's an avalanche afoot, with huge chunks of the job market hanging in the balance, depending on what gets automated the hardest, first. All signs point to trucking, motor freight, and last mile shipping. IBM has probably set its gaze upon that territory, and will probably handle tech support for some big well-known conglomerates over the next few decades, with a hand in that area, assisting safe bets that can afford their price.

Don't act like Watson hasn't been a thing. This shift probably has deeper meaning.

That depends entirely on the workload. It's not always a good idea to move from one sql instance, to a cluster of them. Just buy the better machine that gives you time to make a real scalable solution.

Everything is relative I guess. Compared to Norwegian workplace Americans are usually very dressed up even in the tech industry. In our case it had nothing to do with tech industry norms or trying to be efficient. Actually I am highly sceptical to the premise of the article. I think it is wrong. The Bay Area was full of hippies. I'd rather say it was the political movement against conservatism which killed the company dresscode. That would be a more fitting description of what happened in Norway. It was political radicalism among the young in the early 70s. Silicon valley was full of young people heavily indpired by this movement. Just read Steve Jobs biography ;-)

If you like this, you might also like the Witchcraft Compiler Collection[1] by Jonathan Brossard.

It approaches from a different angle (relinking), but (as far as I understand it) can help to solve the same problem Tavis tackles. In the end they both allow the dynamic analysis of PE files in Linux. Both tools only work if the architecture is the same in both worlds, I think.

EDIT: [2] is an intro to the Witchcraft Compiler Collection from Black Hat Europe 2016 which is probably more helpful than the link to the repo.

I don't think searches of accounts are in any way excusable either, but for the purpose of rules-lawyering:

You have deliberately chosen to make certain information not available during the search period and are planning to make it available again once the search is over. I can absolutely see how that counts as "hiding".

I'm ADD and autistic; I've seen this in both communities, and I hate it. Recognizing that disabilities need not define you or limit you is a fine thing. Going from there to the notion that disabilities are good and it's the healthy people who have the real problems is devastatingly toxic.

And there was also a Kingdom of Dublin, ruled by the Danes.

It always encourages me to see other people with Behavior/Learning disabilities succeeding beyond the expected standard. I will say that as many have pointed out, some of these traits do not have to mean a long lasting deficit in ability or capacity. By learning to achieve the same results in the areas that these issues compromise you develop new neural paths that can also be used to be more efficient and generally better at many other areas of life and life management.
The thing that kills formal dress is the total bullshit known as dry cleaning.

I can agree with that addition. Not everything that seems like a problem is an important, recurring one.

It all depends on what AI machine you make. If I take a few artificially created billion neurons and group them into something very close to the brain, then, well I may have made an artificial AI, but it's so close to a human brain that it's not what we currently think of it. Heck, if I want to do that , I just need to have a few moments with someone of the other sex and I may make that machine.

That machine, could indeed think like us.

But if you think programs, neural networks and big data, I'ma afraid we are very far away of anything close to a machine than can think about ethics. Ethics is not a mathematical problem, it has to do with gut feelings, culture, bodies, etc. And I don't see anybody with the smallest idea on how to teach that to a computer, other than in very toyish way (such as a Tamagochi)

There is no way Walmart pays 3% when a small business with minimal documentation can pay less via Square, PayPal, etc...

And as mentioned elsewhere, cash has a cost as well (theft, miscounting change, counting in and out cash drawers during shift changes, arranging daily deposits, trips to the bank, etc). As someone who worked retail 10+ years ago, I can assure you all these things happened, and probably added 2-3% to costs vs electronic payments.
data theft
> Yeah I keep location services turned off most of the time.

Even if your location services, wifi and bt are off, they occasionally turns on to get your location. In Lineage OS there is an additional setting to not use wifi (when it is off) for location services.

May be you can look into developer options to disable this setting (Please note that even if wifi is off, your phone searches for wifi hotspots to find itself where it is).

And if your wifi/bt is on, your location is (almost) always available to Google. You know it, right?

NSA stories are too important to be dragged down by some news aggregation platform trying to feign original, investigative journalism on a site that's borderline unusable on the desktop.

That doesn't change the fact that clickbait trash is still clickbait trash, and should be discarded because it detracts from the quality of the overall discussion.
Machine learning (and more specifically here, supervised learning) is about predicting a specific attribute of a new sample, based on the attributes of the samples that you've acquired. For example, if you have access to the database of the clients of a bank, containing their attributes such as their income, their age, their occupation and whether or not the bank accepted to give them a loan, you may want to create a system that based on this database, can predict whether a new person will get a loan or not.

It happens that having too much different features is not necessarily a good thing, in a phenomenom called curse of dimensionality.

Due to this, we are interested in trying to reduce the number of attributes our algorithm will process. There are two big categories of methods to do that: feature selection and feature extraction.

In feature selection, you try to select the attributes that are the "best" to predict your value. For example, computing the statistical correlation between the attributes and the value you want to predict, and choose those with the highest correlations.

In feature extraction, you create new attributes that are a linear combinations of the original attributes. PCA is a feature extraction algorithm.
but your initial attitude should be "let's try to work within society's boundaries to achieve our goal"

Why on earth is that the case? This viewpoint imbues "society's boundaries" with some kind of a-priori correctness, when really it has the same as any other concept: 0, until proven otherwise.
It also doesn't cost much to "produce" a stock (like in printing it on a paper). It's the underlaying asset that is valuable, not "the stock". Same with all the new currencies/tokens: They are bound to the underlaying value of the company that will do something with it...

i've only recently joined the hn community, and i'm interested by this thought because i find the comments generally inquisitive, regardless of how much someone has posted. upon further research of when the golden age of hn may have been, i found an article talking about whether or not app developers should listen to hn (i'm not linking it because it wasn't particularly enlightening). it lead to the hn comments in reply to the advent of dropbox, where i notice the same structure you're describing here, ten years ago. i suppose i just wish you would provide links to what you're describing as the 'height of hn' if you're describing how it has 'deteriorated over the years'
it seems pretty amazing that a conversation like this takes place in the comments section to Uber ?
Assuming it takes an average of 1 minute for someone to look up the answer and quit Vim, the readers of this question alone spent a total of 2 years looking up how to quit Vim. Whether or not it was a good design choice, it goes to show how much of people's time and energy is at stake when you make software at enormous scale.

It's also a matter of principle. You can always argue that if you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear in support of more surveillance. But that's a slippery slope.
Time to write one's own filesystem driver, that either hides this info or shows the disk as fully partitioned but empty NTFS partition, and when something tries to write onto it, throws a failure (so you can have e.g. 10 MB at the very front of the partition free, and the rest looks empty, but actually contains your Linux system)

Another hack would be one's own BIOS, that lies to Windows saying "This disk is 100 GB", but given the correct unlock signal, will admit to the OS "this disk is 500 GB big".
That's quite normal here in Germany. A lot of people I know still only pay with cash because most of the people are skeptical about data that may be used against them. Sure, there are a lot of young people (born >=2000) sharing everything and paying everything with card but the older ones still care about their privacy.

That means a safe way I and a lot of people prefer is to get a bunch of cash from a cashpoint and use that to buy stuff to not get profiled...

Still stodgy boring dorks on the inside though.
It's worth noting that many new blockchain implementations are not intending to merely facilitate the transfer of monetary value but aim to decentralise resources, which is a less "fictional" goal. Look at Sia / StorJ / Maidsafe, for secure decentralised storage (Storage on Sia is currently something like 20x cheaper than Amazon S3 and offers the potential for storage providers to compete on price per TB alone, without having to provide a front-end or marketing). Then there are distributed computing applications such as Golem and iExec.

All of these are in the early development (even concept) stages but investors are seeing the obvious huge upsides if the teams can pull it off, and to me these are the most exciting technologies which counter the aged arguments about crypto's worth as an exchange of value with solid real-world use cases which can be compared in real terms to current centralised solutions.

Discontinuing a piece of consumer electronics is completely different to discontinuing a service. Firstly, your electronics don't disappear when they stop making them. You just can't buy a new one.

Plus, many of those had direct replacements that were obvious iterations of their predecessor. Sure, Apple discontinued the iPod Mini, but they released the iPod Nano. Sure, Apple discontinued MobileMe, but they released iCloud.

Google just quietly abandons services and products and if they ever replace anything, they appear to have started from scratch.

Plus, the item in question is not a free service, it's an expensive physical device with a costly subscription service.
Look in the aerospace industry, things may be better there.

Heck, they block you if you use Hurricane Electric's Tunnel Broker to get IPv6 connectivity, even if the endpoint is in the same country and even though a) TB clients have unique subsets and b) IPv6 geolocation is unreliable shit.

I love this question too. I think we're heading for a full blown "société de contrôle" (see Wikipedia). So the locus of power is changing. Before it was repression, now it is control. It's not inhernetly good or bad. But my gut feelings says that we're transtionning to that society. And while we're transitionning, the first movers, the fastest movers (Google, FaceBook, etc) have an advantage and therefore may look dangerous to us. So in complement to your question I'd like to hear about what are the forces that are here to balance the powers.

That's incorrect. I returned a MacBook to Amazon.in a week ago. There was no fault with the piece I received, I just changed my mind about it. I've returned other products to Amazon too, like a phone that was slightly defective and other electronics.

I've spoken to people who sell products online on Amazon.in and other marketplaces. All of them accept returns and write off the losses on those as overhead of doing business.

I wish there were more definite sources detailing what the actual conflict is about. People are giving all sorts of accounts online and it seems to be divided into a few camps:

1) western and sunni middle eastern press: it's all Assad's (government's) fault. People want democracy. Specifically this is supposed to be a response to violent repression of pro-democracy protests from March 2011.

Problem: very hard to believe. The attitude of the government against the people of Syria has not changed, and the "protesters" do not seem very pro-democracy at all.

Second problem: the middle eastern press (al Jazeera) is owned by a government that would stand to benefit substantially from the pipeline issue. Even aside from the pipeline, that government is involved in funding the exremists in Syria.

2) shi'a middle eastern press

Coordinated Sunni attack against one of the two last multicultural/tolerant middle eastern Countries (the other one being Iran, and while Israel is multicultural/tolerant Iran doesn't see it that way). It's an attack to massacre the last vestiges of tolerance in the middle east.

Problem: obviously this is state propaganda. That doesn't mean it's not true, of course, but there are military interests at stake by the same people who own these press.

3) Russian press (there were/are hundreds of thousands of Russians from the Soviet union who lived in Syria)

This is a coordinated assault against the last Russian ally on the mediterranean. They note the same as the Shi'a press does (attack on tolerance for non-Sunnis), and also note the pipeline project that would deliver oil from.

Problem: of course this too is state propaganda.

4) Catholic information sources (there is/was no shortage of Monasteries in Syria)

Well-funded Sunni extremists attacking (and killing) everyone in sight, with no identifiable cause. Ethnic cleansing, including even of Sunni's that don't want to fight for them. They seem to disagree with the notions that the fighters care about either Russian interests, or the pipeline (though the funding parties might think differently)

Problem: They're not very willing to come forward with information, and the few times they do they say they really fear retaliation. The ones that come forward are refugees.
