> You can't just discount all the informed witness acounts

You mean [these informed witnesses][1]?

To be clear, my "uninformed judgment" is consistent with eye-witnesses, the jury, and even Eric Holder's justice department! The case is entirely unambiguous. All of the material evidence and many witnesses corroborated the officer's story. Many other witnesses admitted making false testimonies, and those who didn't admit have conflicting testimonies. There is no reasonable alternate conclusion. Even BLM have distanced themselves.

I support it, but only partially and with caveats.

If we are going to regulate service providers then why not limit what content providers can do as well? Why should they get a completely free ride?

Here is that NN results in. Permanent protection from competition for internet providers as long as they agree to not be too profitable. In return for having their rates called into question and rate increases reviewed they are protected from having anyone being able to undercut them because those same would be subject to the same rates and rules.

Which means, what you got now is what you will have for a long time. NN does not guarantee, in fact it slows, the chance for higher speeds because there won't be competition to deliver such to you.

So those are my caveats. I would like to see additional pricing for content providers limited but not at the point they can free ride the net. We are just adding dollars to the content people's wallets and for what? So we can feel good about sticking it to Comcast (which I don't use).

This didn't work for railroads or long distance, it took us a century for the former and nearly half for the latter to fix
I haven't used this specific library, but it's common to want to convert lat/lon into a single dimension where sorting the hash gives nearby locations. This is helpful for lookups/indexing/caching geospatial data. This appears to solve some of those problems.
Sometimes I wonder at the uniqueness of each individual's face. It just amazes me how everybody, no matter how numerous we have, has a different face. With the exception of twins and non-familial coincidental twins.
I don't consider appropriate use of algos (where no additional development cost is incurred), and coherent design to be optimizations.

I'm not sure how to respond to this. You're using a definition I've never heard before.. this sounds like basic competency being called optimization.

Nothing I've written here should be misconstrued as an argument in favor of sloppy code.

A relative of mine has taken a multi-part course + capstone on Coursera. They have zero teaching support besides the videos and reading material for paying customers, it's shocking.

The only difference between them and watching some free videos on e.g. iTunes U is that Coursera requires homework, has the nearly useless peer-review and one has to pay for watching.
> I believe my motivating demo will be achieved some day soon—you will watch Charlie Chaplin in 4K resolution and it will be indistinguishable from a modern movie.

Wow, where does it stop, then? Can we upsample modern 4k films? Or deeper dynamic ranges? Stereo projections from mono images?

I suppose that the limiting factor is the resolution/color depth/perspective channels of the training images?
Well,

"Why not" is one way to keep an open mind. Why not this world in a multiverse. Why not this world in a simulation. Why not a simulation within a simulation. Why not a programmer who wrote the code for this world - and how is this any stranger than our other what ifs.

We're human, we don't just operate on facts - we rely on educated assumptions that we make, some of which may be strong enough to translate into belief. This may be driven by evidence, or just our humanly intuition and experiences.

But this is also human: The beauty of science is that it adapts as new evidence is revealed - someone here said this earlier. [No final answer] but rather based on the current evidence, an answer can be formulated that is consistent with the evidence available at that time.

It's human because it depends on our perspective; where we are in time, whether we find the truths (evidence) or not, and whether we are capable of perceiving all truths. Science is continually evolving in our minds - or more accurately, in the collective minds over time. Can the great jigsaw puzzle ever be solved? That's not the aim of science, as it is proud to point out, but it argues that whatever picture we come up with, it's justified as long as it's based on the current collection of evidence - this is a philosophy.

And I'm personally not satisfied with this, as a way of life. Why don't I deserve the truth in its entirety, in my lifetime? You would ask, why do I even question whether I deserve or not? I guess it's a human thing. But for me, as a person, I intuit closest to monotheism. Monotheism provides a framework where anything is possible, but bound by the belief in the Great Programmer who can do whatever he wants. It can work for anyone, regardless of their time and place; and for me as a person fortunate to live in an advanced age, I can accept evolution, because I think it's pretty robust and who am I to question how he creates the world. This for me is more liberating than having to accept whatever picture current evidence is showing - actually, I look forward to witness more development. It's also quite a comfortable position to be in; if science does show that we live in a simulation, that's OK, if it shows that we live in a multiverse, that's cool too.
An example functions as both a working piece of code, and also an illustration. I mean you might as well say ball-and-stick models are bad for chemists, because they should understand from the text alone.

There's a lot of technology to understand and absorb, and I'll take any tool I can get to help me.

Relative to other lists of this type, this one is very good. Still a painfully young corner of the design world, unfortunately.

For all of us out there building these:

1) Please make an effort to make them public. The community still needs strong examples of component libraries done right.

2) Don't stop at the button/input level. Modular/composable design system thinking should be extended way farther up the product ladder. In practice, this means things like sidebars, payment forms, common marketing widgets, etc.

3) For the love of god, put it all on one page! It's very tedious trying to click on every one of 400 sidebar links. Stuff falls through the cracks. It's much more productive to browse these libraries when you can begin at the beginning and scroll to the end.

4) The natural next steps beyond these libraries is storybook-style in-browser design. Releasing a sketch file with these is great, but the ideal future of these involves not having to use sketch at all unless you're planning changes to the underlying component (and not an instance of it)

Please don't hesitate to PM (email in profile or @patrickmakes) if you ever want to chat about this stuff. Making these systems bigger, better, and more common is a huge focus for me right now.

Pro-diversity, ex-conference (not this one) organizer here.

I can't speak for what GitHub did or didn't do, but a common problem is that there is a huge step before review that you can't skip. You must coach, encourage, and counsel the types of people you want to submit talks! If you don't, don't be surprised if they don't submit because of the treatment or impression they have from other events in the past.

Pro-active outreach to underrepresented groups is the way to get better events and a blind review process is no panacea despite many organizers seeming to think it is.

It's suggested here that they did blind review and then wanted to tweak for diversity. That's just not how it works. You need the diversity up front in the submissions.
AFAIK it was part of the IOS11 announcement, so I'm inferring it'll be part of it, but couldn't find written proof

I'd like to work on this. Do you want to collaborate?

I think running it on e.g. DigitalOcean is fine. In particular, "Playing with malware in public is not something to be done lightly, and potentially very dangerous (to others as well as you!)" is rather overblown. Doing it locally via Docker, on the other hand, is asking for trouble. Docker isn't a security mechanism.

We could offer a service where we can spin up a honeypot image (e.g. a fairly typical Windows installation + a few installed apps and some browsing history). The deal is, you can submit your malware to us, we'll spin up the image, run the malware, and provide real-time feedback about what it's doing. One strategy for pricing would be $hosting_fee*markup per hour.

Honestly it's one of the better ideas that's been tossed around, so if you're considering this as potentially more than a side project, hit me up.

"At the moment the most efficient algorithm (for integers larger than 100 digits) we can implement into pre-existing computers{3} has a sub-exponential running time. But we can’t say for certainty that the it is not in P."

Author needs to fix this typo. Additionally, I think this is sloppy reasoning and will confuse readers. Sub-exponential algorithms include polynomial algorithms, so saying that "X is subexponential but we can't prove it is not in P" is not as precise as "Algorithm X is subexponential but at best superpolynomial, which is not to say that problem Y cannot be in P in general".
> It's freedom and independence

This is why I assume people embrace it. Is it really freedom and independence when 90% of your time spent in the car is in traffic to get to work and home?

Freedom to me is not wasting 5-10 hours a week on getting to work, unpaid. Even if that means sacrificing my 'freedom' to drive around the countryside on weekends.
It works on hacker news too:

>Facebook should not be allowed to...

"It is Facebook's business! Don't like it? Go start your own!"

"Right on! Stick it to those price gouging monopolists!"
There seems to be a new push for technological problems to social illnesses, and it consistently boggles my mind how so many smart "experts" really think people engaging more with computers/phones/AI instead of, you know, engaging more with actual people will solve any kind of social ill.
I would see it as more equivalent to a "No shirt. No shoes. No service." sign. The vast majority of people will already meet the criteria, and those that don't are already well aware that they are likely to run into problems.
That's the $1B question.
The obvious application is the video conferencing style hangouts, Skype (which are using WebRTC already).
The nice thing about having video conf capabilities in the browser is that you can embed it in any web page and start do interesting things with it - like interactive lectures.

I'm taking a statistics specialization on Coursera. While the course content has generally been pretty good, you are correct about the complete lack of support on the forums. I also naively thought that perhaps a TA would monitor them for help... instead you have to hope that someone's volunteered to be an unpaid mentor for the course, and that they also have enough experience to know the answer.

From a technological standpoint Coursera is also poor, downloading multiple megabytes of javascript to display text and videos, and to allow form submissions for quizzes. Navigation is wonky and slow. During the final peer review section of one of my courses many students ran into bugs where Coursera failed to register that a review had been completed. Luckily I got a hold of a mentor, who then had access to Coursera tech support. But the official forums seemed to be devoid of any paid employees...

Unfortunately, after these experiences I'll never pay for anything on Coursera again.
This doesn't come as a surprise, all these money-making companies that intend to disrupt education should be closed down if they're as equally as expensive as going to a state university
Which should have been clear to you when you joined the company and read and signed the employment and stock options agreements (you did read them, didn't you?). If that isn't to your liking, don't work for a startup.
From what I gather, it does get done to women more than to men. From my perspective, an even bigger problem is that women are more expected to just take it.

Having read the piece, it is by a woman who spoke up and said "Let her speak, please" and that's fine. But I have mixed feelings about the title of this piece and how it looks before you read it, because white knighting is a big problem for women. Men coming to the rescue of some damsel in distress and championing her often just deepens the problem. It often simply reinforces the idea that the only role women are allowed to play is that of victim and any justice that happens will be credited to some heroic guy. It often gets done in a way that in no way empowers her. It is frequently just some guy coming in, playing hero and getting pats on the back and when he goes off stage, her situation remains just as crappy and disempowered as before.

I am a woman and I personally don't have any problem with giving the guys push back and that gets me perceived as incredibly confrontational and fighty. At one time, my account on HN was rate limited. My feeling on that is that simply standing up for myself as a woman who often gets a lot of pushback merely for being a demographic outlier was being punished. That winds up a no win situation for women. If you don't stand up for yourself, you get walked on. If you do, you can be actively punished for it.

To be fair, the current mod team on HN has been great. I am sure they often find me cringe-worthy, but they have made me feel much more like I can report people who are really engaging in bad behavior towards me that is beyond the pale and much more like I can stand my ground without fear that doing so is highly likely to get me banned, no matter how reasonable I am about it.

Hacker News has generally been great about putting up with my outrageous agenda* to open my mouth here and engage in conversation on equal footing with the guys. I am well aware that is a shocking expectation and is simply Not Done in so many spaces, both online and off. I want to thank everyone here for being so good about that.

Ask HN: Book reccomendations for setting up a software development team?
I am in the position of transitioning our machine learning team from doing research and building toy models to building software with an ML component. Most of us are stats, math, and econ people. We are nominally an agile shop, but we mainly use it to navigate the relationship between project stakeholders and developers.

I am looking for recommendations on the tactical aspects of writing software as a team: what works for code reviews, how to manage a git repository effectively, how to manage test/production application configuration, and how to divide work between people and groups. Basically, a 'design patterns' book, but for teams of developers instead of code.
The performance disparity is even more dramatic on my machine. What's the reason for that - is it b/c of concurrent contention during vec/realization? Or ???
I enjoyed the section on negative examples, and the things that don't work out. Makes me feel a lot better about the ton of things i've tried which didn't quite pan out the way I hoped.
Or it's how the photons happened to hit his body. They might have hit in just the right way to not do cancer-causing DNA damage, or if that did happen, then those cells weren't influential or died or were terminated by the immune system by pure luck (he could have had the same level of "immunity" as those who happened to die because their system simply had an unlucky miss).
As long as we get there eventually, I will always side with taking the time to do it right. There is room in the world for both a highly advanced browser, with the sacrifices that come with that, and a workhorse. Nothing is stopping you from having them both installed (except, well, on iOS).
Well done for typifying the culture at Uber.
> For example, SortedSet<T>‘s ctor was originally written in a relatively simple way that didn’t scale well due to (I assume accidentally) employing an O(N^2) algorithm for handling duplicates.

Now that's a gross oversight.
I don't disagree with your point at all. Hopefully https://dot.net/core will become that. As @runfaster2000 says the team have taken the point on board and are working on it.

However FWIW, I put together a C# on Linux Workshop for DevConf.cz earlier on in the year that might be useful for some folks https://github.com/martinwoodward/csharpworkshop - also includes links to the docs for building from source etc if you want to go really into the details.
That's fascinating. Do you have more information on that experiment? A few minutes searching did not turn up anything.

Purpose of Estimation
The article talks about Safari Reader Mode as if it is about ads, but man, I HAVE to use it just to READ GODDAMN WEBSITES ON MOBILE.

The problems with mobile versions of sites are just to many to enumerate, and we just want to be able to read what's there, and maybe (if it's not asking too much) be able to interact a bit.

The too-hard-to-read text, the glacier-speed loading, the jumping text (due to late-loading images or ads) the craziness, what is it all for?
I agree with the creepiness of the video, but I don't really see anything odd or mysterious about the fact that someone made the videos. They update them regularly to change the names of world leaders, but each new revision shares the vast majority of footage.

The channel creator also leaves other comments. Four weeks ago:

> We can only begin planning when the new South Korean President is elected, and we're now also going to wait to see what the British general election will reveal. It's hard to commit to a specific time when world events (which need to be reflected accurately and currently in the video), change so quickly.﻿

The goal is net neutrality. However at present the ISP monopolies are abusing their position to prevent it so that they remain free from regulation and have captive markets to exploit. Given their legally binding fiduciary duty to their shareholders and the current lack of competition, we can hardly expect different behavior from them. Either we need an infusion of competition, or we force them to "play nice" as justified by their position. At present either option requires some form of governmental regulation aka net neutrality.
100% of users want websites to load faster though - that's a fairly big market share.

Obviously you can't make a web app without JS, but I still think you should minimise JS, or remove it if the site truly is static. It's just a better experience.
Utility is a concept from economics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility

You can think of it as "how much benefit I get from a thing".

What he is referring to is diminishing marginal utility, which is that as you consume more and more of a good (in this case, income) you derive less benefit from it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginal_utility

This is backed up by psychology research indicating that people hit a happiness plateau at some income level.
It can be a squeeze in some of the Mini-ATX cases, but I've never had a problem with anything bigger. There's always at least four inches to spare.
I think there is some differential. Judging by number of citations, looked by google scholar:

George F R Ellis: 30744

Andrei Linde: 56716

Veronika Hubeny: 4874

Barry Loewer: 3431

Alan Guth: >17,317(summed 2 pages in scholar, as he doesn't have a profile there)

David Albert: >5062(summed 3 pages in scholar, counting only papers related to quantum mechanics)

So there are 3 researchers there whose voice can potentially trump others by a margin, if citations are a good measure.
Females are also known to underreport, but we know that males underreport to a greater degree (or so I've read in several academic papers).
