Nitpick but your request is most likely not going to space. You're going to a cell tower that's at most a mile away from you, and that tower is probably linked with fiber and copper to all the routers on the net. Even if for some reason you go through a satellite link it's in earth orbit and not technically 'outer space'. It's still pretty magical but at the end of the day it's just a fancier wireless telegraph.

Does Bing have "bangs" such as !gm for Google Maps, !gh for GitHub, !wa for WolframAlpha and so on? With no user tracking?

I was a heavy user of address bar search prefixes, but it's amazingly convenient to not have to think about it until the very end of a query (or even add it in the middle).
It's good for getting interviews I think. Most people inviting me to interviews bring up my Github and it gets mentioned in beginning of interviews frequently than not. It's a good "opening salvo". It's a positive if you have it but not a negative if you miss it.

The Magnetic Amplifier is between the pilot exciter (a permanent magnet generator) and the main exciter and sends a "feed forward" to the pilot oil governer so it reacts before the speed of the turbo alternator slows.
Great answer!

This is not "a client problem", this is a communication problem.
> In the age of sail, sending international mail was no easy matter. A sealed note would be left with some ship going in roughly the right direction, and then luck more than anything would decide the outcome. This was before steam ships, before the rail road and the telegraph, and it could well take a year or more before the sender eventually recieved a reply. The preserved letters from Lossius are full of references to other letters that never made it across the oceans.

This was striking to read; it's absolutely impossible for me to imagine a pre-telegraph world with such utterly slow communications where people nevertheless had friends and family separated by years of latency.

It makes me appreciate the significance of the electric telegraph and of long-range communication that is not limited by the speed of any physical vehicle. I recently read a short romance novel (called "Wired Love") published in 1880 about two telegraph operators who meet online (well, on the wire), use spare time on the wire to talk (and flirt) with each other; and eventually fall in love -- before even having met each other IRL or knowing each other's IRL names! There's even a quite modern impersonation that happens -- someone else steals the identifier of the operator the main character is in love with, and proceeds to be an rude asshole to her. Almost like IRC nick stealing, except a century or so earlier! The antics involving the telegraphs were, amusingly enough, the least antiquated part of the novel, as there's an entirely shocking amount of aspects of Internet communication/relationship practices that have pretty clear equivalents in that telegraph-era book. For example, the main character disdains the telephone and prefers the elegant and more technically-involved telegraph, she and her partner "clasp hands" over the wire in the same way people do "/me hugs" on IRC, she gets called crazy for laughing to herself and "smiling at vacancy" while telegraphing with her online lover -- and after they've met IRL, her suitor even installs a private telegraph wire from her bedroom to his. There's something quite endearing about reading an old novel and realising that the people with access to real-time text chat more than a century ago might have used it in quite similar ways as people use it today.

While making this project, we first tried many classification algorithms to find the best one. We used Matlab for that. We called it mgc-matlab. Then we made a package in python using poly kernel SVM and called it mgc-python. Finally while making the Web application it was named mgc-django. Looks like we are not very good at nomenclature. What other name would you suggest?

I can’t help but think that Google considers more and more posts like this a success metric for taking over this part of the web (like Facebook does with its walled garden).
User's names, phone numbers, Apple IDs, are all just basic customer information. Rogue employees at any company can sell off customer information.

And yes, 22 people, that work at a large company. It shouldn't strain credulity to believe that a company that has over 100 thousand employees can end up with a handful of dishonest ones. This doesn't mean they were hacked. And yes, they were employing criminals, by definition, because the thing those employees did was a criminal act. Presumably they weren't criminals when they were hired though.

Just a few idle observations...

Women are sexually attracted to confidence and charisma the way men are sexually attracted to youth and beauty. Attraction is not negotiable, so if you have neither confidence nor charisma, you need to learn them. I hear toastmasters is good for this.

If you're looking to attract a traditional woman, then you need to be a traditional man. Dress well, have a good job and make enough money to support a household and kids.

Where do you meet women? Most of the US dating scene is focused around alcohol (bars, clubs, etc). If you want to meet someone who doesn't drink, then stay away from places where alcohol is consumed. Church (or a hindu temple) is still a good place to meet traditional women, as are book groups, hiking groups, soccer groups, stand-up paddle board classes, etc. Also, any group that meets at the crack of dawn for some sort of physical activity. Anybody who shows up to that sort of event will more than likely be in shape and not drink a lot.

Expecting somebody to have no relationship experience isn't realistic. If you want any hope of finding a wife, you need to let go of that one.

The NBA needs a longer, wider court. Players aren't just bigger than they were 30-50 years ago, they are also longer. Bigger courts would provide more open space for passing and fast breaks.
Those compilers use CPS as an intermediate language - a bit like SSA form for functional languages - which is (mostly) independent of supporting first class continuations.

Support for first class continuations is a matter of tradeoffs. It's quite reasonable for an implementation to choose 'slow' continuations (in which call/cc copies the stack) in order to be able to use the more efficient native stack for function calls.

(EDIT: and in response to the linked post, it is quite possible to efficiently compile what would be contifiable functions in direct style - see the recent paper Compiling Without Continuations in which the GHC hackers do exactly that.)
It's too bad IETF didn't at least specify a standard way to use XChacha20/XSalsa20 with Poly1305 for AEAD. As it is you have to rely on all implementations to:
1. Split the nonce and counter the same way.
libsodium uses a 64-bit nonce, 32-bit counter and 32-bit wasted zero bytes for IETF compatibility ;). (You could also say it's a 64-bit counter that never counts past 2^32-1).

2. Feed the AEAD into Poly1305 in the same way.
IIRC libsodium hashes everything in this order:

AEAD padded with zeros, so length will be a multiple of 16
message padded with zeros in the same way
AEAD length
message length

This is the same as the scheme IETF defined for ChaCha20Poly1305, but it's not defined in any standard XChacha20Poly1305, so nobody can guarantee that the library you're using will do the same (if it supports XChaCha20 at all).

Noted. I got the Google foobar challenge a year ago while on a flight to Seattle. I didn't finish it because I was still a noob at the time (it happened when I googled a few things about Angular 2). Will I ever get it again or did I blow it?

I would ideally like to work at Amazon or Google, both companies have had a major impact on my quality of life and I would love to contribute in a meaningful way.

I still get weekly emails for job openings at Google but I've done a lot of adventure travel in the last year between entry-level tech jobs and had to work through some personal issues before I could get back on my 'A-game' for expanding my skillset.

What advice/tips can you offer me about making a quality portfolio site from what you've seen at Google?
The crux of your question revolves around loneliness and your desire for companionship, but I think you're focusing instead on a list of inflexible requirements that you're imposing upon a person you have yet to meet. Are all of these expectations really what you need from another person in your life, or do they stem from fear of women, relationships, and trust? If it's the latter, insecurity is getting in the way of your happiness, and that's not healthy.

Also, I'm bothered by a lot of your wording. Some things to consider, that only you can really answer:

Why are you afraid that women are hunting you down for your "resources?" What is this presumed power/resource imbalance and what does that say about your opinion of women in general?

Why do you expect someone to have no relationship experience? You stated that you feel like you've missed out on building your own experiences. Why do you wish this mistake on someone else? Do you also expect your male friends to never have been in a relationship? What does that say about your respect for the experiences and agency of half the world's people?

What are the social norms around alcohol consumption in your city. If it's normal for people to drink socially once or more a week, how might your alcohol rules affect a person's other social relationships. It's this really about alcohol or is it about control or fear of the other relationships in a woman's life? Are you hoping to change someone? What's does this say about your own insecurities and ability to trust?

Finally, what do you imagine is a "decent woman?" Does she need to be Indian? Can she be more successful than you? Make more money? Hack better code? Have more friends? Is a woman with relationship experience not decent? Can a decent woman impress you? Can you work under a decent woman? What age is a decent woman? Are most women you meet decent? Does your definition of a "decent man" differ?
Actually this sub thread is about what is right.

> To be fair Intel has done a lot of work to make the x86 as great as possible. Patent lawsuits are awful. I'm not sure just copying someone's technology and emulating it without paying a license fee is all that great either.
Some bacteria actually use dilute concentrations of ethanol as a substrate - acetobacter converts EtOH to acetate (vinegar). It's the concentration of 72% EtOH 28% h2o that bacteria can not protect against.
Again, you are taking the suggestions too literally. What I simply suggest is a better alternative than AMP. Optimize pages better, improve their rendering engine, make better compression algorithms, complex CDN's or something which I can't even think of which makes pages snappier and better. I personally just don't agree with the AMP as a solution. I don't want to waste my time on explaining why as you can already see most of the downsides and my views are something like an union of most of them(you can start with the UX problems).

Also, just going with the solution that just works now is not always the best method going forward. It might be enough for you, but then again it isn't good enough for me.

Is it really that surprising that Google finds crawling pages stored on their own CDN to be faster than pages stored... anywhere else? They don't even need to leave the Google network.

This is really interesting, and it reminds me of a game I used to play with my brothers as a kid. We're all classical musicians, and we used to make mix tape challenges for each other when we were young. It would be a 1-second snippet of a piece of music followed by 4 seconds of silence. You had to name the piece before the next 1-second sample started to get a point.

If you didn't know the specific piece, you could still get a point by guessing the nationality of the composer and the time it was written within 10 years. The available time period for music was anything from Pythagoras' time to the present day (would have been late 80s at the time we were playing.)

It ha to be reasonably describable as "classical" music. Not rock, jazz or blues or anything.

It was a hard fucking game for an 8-year-old, and we really worked each other over very hard.

I wonder if I could fork this and try to get it to tell the difference between, for example, Bach and Corelli, Mahler and Bruckner, or Zarlino and Palestrina.

Very cool project.
Or instead of waiting few seconds, just get into the line of closed internet (let them monopolize it). It's the same like giving up the democracy for one-party system. Because if you stand out, you might heart yourself.

I love how nobody realised that benzos (alprazolam, specifically) are not even opioids at all!

Anyway, insert the usual text about drug prohibition driving the iron law of prohibition; which incentivises drugs that are more potent per unit volume, and drugs with this property are more lethal when not metered with extreme precision.

Also a nonintrusive, low-false-positive method (that works at very high throughput) for postal services to detect illegal drugs in the mailstream would really suck, huh.
I only skimmed my comment, instead of closely examining it & just breezed over that whole line! I'm going to make more of an effort of examining myself now.

That was definitely condescending of me. Sorry about that. It's not how I want to roll.
17 years ago AMD was leading due to foundry - they were the first x86 with copper interconnects.

http://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1141534

Somewhat hilariously Intel released "Coppermine" series of CPUs in 1999, but those used Alu interconnects :D and were famously unstable above 1GHz.

AMD was also first to 1GHz.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/498/4

Intel was even trying to dispute that fact, but its hard to convince PC hardware journalists you are first when they are already testing 1GHz Athlons on their own desks while reading Intel press release about closed door demonstration.

I agree 100%. Google has done so much good for the world by creating not only the best search engine, but also the best browser, the best maps, the best free email, an amazing mobile operating system, and all of it for free. Sure they sell ads and that annoys people, but for a free product, how can you complain?

These big guys do amazing things. Yes with an organization that size, there is going to be some problems at some point, but without a doubt, we are much better off for what the guys at google have done.

Unfortunately on HN, people can become so cynical. Any time somebody succeeds, it seems like there are a chorus of people writing off the success as bad in some way or inauthentic. It's almost like people are jealous.

Instead of trying to tear down those who succeed, and who are giving back (like google to the open source world), let's be grateful for the insane amount of good they have done.
!g has been my exclusive portal to Google for years (also on mobile). I never understood what all the rage was about until I went to try it in the "normal" Google. This is the first time I've seen that "lightning" icon. Wow.

I must admit I had similar if not the same feelings about the trends in tech these days. Everyone is a geek who can write a piece of code and write a patch. I see entitlement attitude in most young software engineers and utter disrepect for people who took time to refine their craft. But this is something we cannot do anything about so why worry ? If its bothering you, you should try to explain it to them.

And let's be honest here, regarding your "code rockstar" comment - it's getting harder to demonstrate ability in the age of over sharing and over communication. Internet can be a place with too much noise.

But Internet has also enabled us and empowered us so much. Instead of fighting the culture of show-offs, why not contribute your experiences on a blog ? The positive ones ? Build an online reputation and take advantage of the same infrastructure that many abuse ?

If you are really good at what you do, people will notice you. You don't have to show off and make loud noises. Just showcase your sincere works and get on the flow. You may never know what wonders could touch your life.
In fact, it is notorious that they didn't use any such system, just regular SMS, speaking sometimes in Arabic or using very weak coded language. In general, these guys are morons.

However, ISIS overseas is different. They or an allied group have offensive cyber capability and an appreciation of opsec. They are known to have taken advantage of weak opposition opsec for disinformation and tactical advantage (hacking opposition command cellular devices via phishing and social engineering to get tactical planning information). I don't know if they use good encrypted comms, but it seems likely.

Would these skills migrate back to be use by local wanna be terrorists? I doubt it.

So the bigger problem is not deliberate use but accidental. If they were all using imessage by default it is going to be much harder. No easy meta data, no mass scanning of SMS. You're left with physical surveillance, phone calls, rough cell location data and HUMINT. If you can't get their Facebook messenger calls or messages you are stumped.

Of course, this is as intended -- no effective mass surveillance. But how do we enable supervised targeted electronic surveillance without it getting out of control?

If fb/google gave into to a CALEA type enforcement regime there are no limits on how much government surveillance would occur, at a level the Stasi would drool over.
