Yes, they do.

A moment of too much passion, a stupid firstandlast time drug trip, money troubles and "normal people"-addictions- yes, perfectly normal people commit perfectly normal crimes. All the time. Some of them even have company.

Normal crime is just not reported, because nobody wants to hear about how the neighbourhood they moved too- is not so nice after all.

Definitely, yes. The next time I have to handle datetimes and time zones, I am heading for 3.x and not looking back.
So you use your Subaru instead of using a pair of the Yamaha NS-10's like many studios use?

For the curious - here's the story of how the budget NS-10 ended up as a reference standard:

That's much less egregious. It's very common for IT admins to implement security updates or change virus scanners or policies behind the scenes.
I hunt elk and this is not surprising at all. They are quite aware of the hunting seasons and the boundaries of hunting areas and they have completely different behaviors around those transitions. They will graze openly on hillsides in abundance right up to the open of the season, at which point they "go to ground" and disappear deep into the creek bottoms and wallows. There are some old and absolutely huge ones running around (from fresh sign we spot) but you never see them because they are very cautious.

Particularly with the older and wiser males, the only time we catch one is at extremely close range while stalking through bedding areas off-trail.
Sonm.io ICO, crowdfunded supercomputer to compete with AWS
https://sonm.io/

Their goal is to create a decentralised worldwide supercomputer where anyone can connect their computing power to the network and gets rewarded by the computing power consumers (rendering jobs, ML training etc.)

Disclaimer Im not affiliated with them or hold any token from the ICO.

Their github: https://github.com/sonm-io/insonmnia
"whitepaper": https://sonm.io/Sonm1.pdf
Business plan: https://sonm.io/Sonm-BusinessOverview.pdf

I wonder what hn thinks about them.

To me it seems that their goal is super hard to achieve if at all.
I also wonder if such a distributed supercomputer can even perform most tasks, network delays would surely be a problem for many tasks.
The problem with #3 is that, while there are no updates to break things, there are also no updates to fix things, so whatever is broken will stay broken.
Cool, but the whole time I wanted to know what a skater's solution was to respiratory masks. I was let down. Even by the linked article.
Usually -20% from highest price is considered as a bear market.
Worth noting that the Fox engine somehow manages to pull of great performance on very terrible configurations too.
Network is quite good everywhere for all UK telcos (except maybe in remote areas or little islands). On the other hand customer service (O2, vodafone) is really bad and unprofessional.
I upvote a lot of things I think are interesting but would not state full confidence in. I'm not an expert on most things.
We are still evolving the exact pricing, so you should tell us about you and we will see what would be the best way to work together, we are happy about helping as many makers as we can ! contact us at contact@snips.ai
I think we'll implement the basic functions of capitalism in software, and learn to use them on a smaller and smaller scale, to the point where you could issue a bond to buy a burrito and sell your burrito farts, someone else could buy the bond, the burrito gets eaten, and dividends paid in the span of an hour.

As that technology diffuses, large corporations will lose their competitive advantage over individuals, and we'll switch over to voluntary contracts for all commerce, instead of coercive employment and property regimes. There will rarely be a time when you think "well, this deal isn't great but I don't have a lot of other choices". You'll be able to just decompose the deal and bid out its parts to an effectively infinite network of contractors, and bond it out in tiny increments. Any business plan which makes sense will be immediately implementable.

Simultaneous with this, we will also develop softwares for other political organizations besides capitalism, including communism, monarchism, fascism, etc, which we will all participate in voluntarily in the same way. Anarcho-syndicalism will be notable among these, because it is the only one with a mechanical basis in consent and a morality grounded in self-defense.

In this new regime, where people are no longer dependent on large cultural institutions for basic sustenance, consent will become a much more valuable marketing tool. People won't be used to being pushed around, so pull-based institutions will start to work better. Anarcho-syndicalism will have a powerful advantage in this market, and people will shift over to using it for most of their daily transactions. These will have to be mirrored with capital-based accounting in order to be legal in capitalist states, but the actual people involved will think less and less in terms of capital. You will come to my bakery and ask for some bread, and depending on the rules of the syndicate, I'll give it to you. In the background AIs will note a "sale", a bond if necessary, and file tax forms, but you and I won't look at them. Anarcho-syndicalism will be how we make decisions, capitalism will just be an accounting method required to not be put in jail for illegal distribution of bread.

Eventually the capital accounting will be ignored for most things, certainly basic healthcare concerns like housing, food, mental health, maintenance of sacred lands, etc. The capital contracts will still be used in the entertainment industry, which will make up the vast majority of GDP. And even within that industry, corporations will be a minority. Most work will happen inside small partnerships of 2-10 people who are working directly together, said partnerships also contracting out to the individuals as sole proprietors. Full time employment will be extremely rare.

The economics of this are based on the presumption that human health is inherently valuable, so bonding it is no problem.

In this way capitalism will "die", still existing but no longer being a central conduit of resources and power.

Not a "bug" but a feature: Inside UFO 54-40 had an ending that you couldn't reach by the normal means. You had to just flip through (cheat?) to find it. The ending was:

"No one can chose to visit Ultima," says Elinka. "Nor can you get here by following directions. It was a miracle you got here, but that is perfectly logical, because Ultima is a miracle in itself." The End

I'm swinging to subjectivism not because I'm buying audio industry fluff (frankly, the self-styled objectivists are far more guilty of that), but rather because it at least covers the observed data. I'm listening with my ears.

Making up important-sounding quasi-science "objective" data (like the ever-popular THD) is an industry marketing ploy. People are insecure and want the "best", so pretend-science lets them think they're buying "best", rather than actually listening and judging subjectively, which is scary and hard and full of weird biases.
I want so badly to believe this, but the "innovative" modular apartment complex recently constructed near the Barclay's Center in Brooklyn turned out to be a boondoggle.

It was touted as being faster to erect than conventional construction. Then it took nearly 5 years to assemble (similar-sized conventionally built towers a block or two away have gone up in 18 months or less). And it's been plagued by issues like leaks due to imperfect alignment (which can be adjusted for more easily using traditional methods).
I just like to force my preferences on other people, so I use spaces. You like 8 width tabs? Too bad, you get 4 spaces.
Yep, this is me. 90% of my photos are shot with a sony a7 and zeiss lenses, then posted to Instagram for fun.
Turns out that having a solid logical understanding of the risks of accidental death is more or less uncorrelated with having the sort of people skills which allow a person to attain positions of power.
More importantly, they forced the old operators to play nice: they can't try too hard to retain customers, they can't lower their prices too much, etc. Absolute control is a strong component of Israeli regulation (transports, broadband, cellular, gas...)
Free market doesn't necessarily mean anarchy market.
It's also at least arguable that Apple earned (past successes, devoted following, etc.) something of a license to break with existing patterns. Even if the new patterns/techs weren't quite baked yet and people weren't fully ready for them.

This applied to dropping the hardware keyboard on the iPhone.

It also applied to something like the lack of printing on the original iPad. This was a big critique that a lot of people had when the iPad first came out. Now, even though there are printing options, most people don't really care any longer.

Oh stop it. Is anyone seriously expecting Linux to take over the desktop anymore? Ubuntu is embedded in Windows now for cripes sakes! Be happy with the world's servers and cell phones.
The wrappers are slow. I have a project where I need to sample data at 50kHz and update at 5kHz, 14-bit output. Can't do it with Arduino's syntactic sugar.

The IDE is terrible for large, multi-file projects. It just doesn't have the level of integration of, e.g., Visual Studio (that Atmel Studio is based on).

It's a fantastic beginner tool and a great source of ultra-cheap hardware, but the IDE runs out of steam pretty quickly.
Google getting 3 units, let alone 300, built in its home turf of Mountain View is quite the breakthrough. If it sounds silly to you, it's because you are not familiar with the soap opera that is the relationship between the city and its largest business.

There is a very popular site that tracks deals of that kind. Don't want to name the site here. There was a deal on V6 posted there a couple of days ago.
"Overexposure to insecticides has bred resistance in the parasites" is the title, but the article only speaks about "exposure", not "overexposure".

That said, as a parent in the Netherlands, we nowadays use the simplest and most effective method: fine-combing the hair every morning and night for two weeks. Use hair conditioner before combing to make the beasts sticky for easier combing. Guaranteed success.
It's not really about child porn or drugs or whatever. It's about taxes.
I'm sure Apple is happy to see you join their long existing efforts to support user privacy.
That doesn't make any sense. "Brain drain" is when your technologists leave (often going toward a more "hyper saturated VC" geography).

What is left behind is the same amount of VC dollars but fewer technologists to build things. Which leads to more "saturation" all else equal.

If you don't want the same SF Bay Area level of VC-funded craziness, the answer isn't to "let it drain" all the technologists out of Canada. The answer is to keep them home and have them build awesome stuff and profitable companies in Canada. (With a more sustainable / reasonable amount of VC funding.)

A good way to sell that is to focus on all the things BESIDES Bay Area VC $ that Canada offers: lifestyle and values, visa / immigration ease, outdoor opportunities, land/house purchase prices (well, outside of a few spots), political stability, and strong support for local champion tech companies.

But just saying "let it drain," ugh. That's terrible. Brain drains really are one of the nastiest things that can happen with semi-porous borders. Very harmful to a region when its technologists (or whatever other highly educated bunch) leave en masse.
If you factor in health care costs, housing costs, maternity leave, etc. Canada is a better deal. Our political climate isn't as toxic either.
As a TMobile customer in the US, tongue in cheek question: what's a "roaming fee"? It's kinda cool when your phone just works worldwide. That's the way it ought to be, imo.
Ok, for me the 70% downtime means I save time by using some other provider.
I thought they open sourced the code?
Unlike polluting industries of old, billionaires want to live next to their modern day tech factories. Thus their headquarters are a short drive away from their minimum 3 million dollar ranch homes in Palo Alto, their town councils demand low growth to keep the traffic down and the feeling suburban and all the worker bees must commute in from someplace uglier where poor people may live. Seriously, this is why all this is happening. There is no other reason. Google is attempting to remedy this problem by building compact quarantined worker bee colonies that won't impact the multi-millionaire enclaves that management cherishes.

Uhm, x86-64 can't switch between tasks/contexts in hardware.
It is actually configurable, and as the platform is open and extensible it won't be too hard. For now you can have your broker send some messages on our MQTT bus, but later we will make this fully configurable
Electronic Lab Notebooks are quite often used in industries where there's a regulatory requirement to record who performed an experiment, and to digitally sign what the results were. For simple research Excel is probably fine - but this software is targeted more at the incumbent software (which isn't particularly intuitive IMO).
I've always felt the "too big to fail" is an excuse that covers for something else.

They didn't need you. Their real customers back at the time were businessmen with next-to-unlimited travel funds.

These days it has changed because especially young people demand being able to Instagram/Snapchat their travels from anywhere... but still data in Germany is horribly expensive.
Come now, they don't see themselves as peasants. They're getting paid to do what they love! What more do they want? They should feel lucky that their rich patrons deign to pay them for doing something they're so passionate about.

(This comment is a sarcastic commentary on attitudes in this industry.)
Seconded. Great book set both in the present and in WW2.
The problem can be with more tech. capable companies sometimes... for example, BoA can't send an electronic payment to Esurance or Vonage and these 2 companies won't accept physical checks either (you have to setup automatic payments through their respective websites) ... Note: This happened a year or 2 ago so it might have changed.
For those curious, data written to that port on the controller card was being corrupted. SATA CRC for communication was still good so i wasn't seeing SMART errors, but i was seeing zfs checksum errors. Was so glad that ZFS was catching it, first time i've seen an error like that.
A decent editor can be configured to convert those tabs to spaces on paste.

And if you stick to only spaces it is trivial to reject tab containing code in commit hooks. It's harder to reject code that uses spaces wrong in tab-indented code, unless you outlaw spaces for alignment too.
Take a look at https://github.com/snipsco/snips-platform-documentation/tree..., it is as simple as

pip install paho-mqtt

and writing a dozen line of Python!
> If I can't find them while living in Downtown SF

That's the beauty of their roll out. Keeping it out of the hand of SF techies during launch helped create a cool brand for these in a mainstream audience. Google Glass' association w geeks helped cement their failure in the broader market.
Don't expect change to come from the peasants. They have bulwark of conservatism throughout history.
That's not true. If you read the article Kojima even said he wanted to make a zombie style MGS game and pitched a zombie game based on nano bots before the development of MGSV.
The real answer is probably "those places you think need to synchronous don't need to be synchronous" and you need a refactor or a rearchitecture.
They're both interesting but they're not "canons" in the traditional sense. The first is a short resource of the bare-bones subjects in CS with the handful of most popular books, and the second is an intro book about basic math and algorithms.

edit: to add, I think they're interesting but I would not refer people to them.
This guy gets it.

Tabs for indent, spaces for formatting within. No need to push your tab size standards on the next person to edit your code, and no need to force their editor to retab it to their preference, and back again when it's saved.

"It's the editor's default", or worse, "I never really thought about it" are horrible reasons for doing anything, and hearing something else might be a sign of a pulse.
AWS is a notoriously bad example as they're one of the most expensive places you can get bandwidth. I have projects where my entire infrastructure costs less than what the bandwidth charges alone would cost me at AWS...
The ZX Spectrum Next Computer – the future of 8 bit computing
A handful of huge tech companies could single-handedly fix the housing crisis* by taking one of those disruptive risks they claim to cherish and move headquarters outside of Silicon Valley/Seattle. Because other companies want to be around the big guys, it will become a trend.

* - This is presuming you consider the current state of things, $2,500+ for housing as the norm, to be a crisis in the first place. At some point you have to admit that it couldn't really be a crisis, if thousands of people eagerly advance its existence year after year.
Nothing says "stable store of value" like wild fluctuations in exchange rates.
Some estimates put the time Phil spent repeating Feb 2nd at 10000 years. He spent half a year, practicing 4-5 hours a day, just learning how to flip playing cards!
It sounded like the $30 million was for construction costs only, not the price of land. The price of a house is mostly land, not the actual materials and labor that go into building the house. If the $30 million includes the land price, then it's a great bargain. If not, it feels like Google's being ripped off.
ok, so we've abandoned the notion of objective truth and everything is all about the narrative.

the interesting question is whether or not there ever really was a cycle where the citizenry were informed, and could collectively influence policy.

even if we were just being naive, the abandonment of that model doesn't seem to have empowered the populace - seemingly the opposite.
I don't see it as a "fix" but as a configuration. And tabs also just works, if you accept the defaults that are given to you :) but if you don't, then you can change your settings (which is trivial). With spaces you have no option but accept whatever is given to you.
Wait, your father had 2 surgeries and he had to take his own ride home? This seems really strange to me.

I had minor wisdom teeth removal surgery and my dentist told me I needed someone to come pick me up; no Uber, no taxi.
You get about 40% if you divide the fall in the price by the current price. Is there some weird convention in finance to do it that way?

well eth is down against btc (https://cryptowat.ch/poloniex/ethbtc/1d) so it would appear they're both going down but ether is going down faster.

>"Just be positive" is horrible advice, even for non-depressed people. (...) treat it like any other survival situation: take stock of your resources, focus only on your next action (and on nothing else), celebrate every win that you get, and realize that failure is going to be part of the process, too. You're going to need every ounce of motivation and positivity that you can muster, and those ounces don't come free. So earn them, no matter how small, and bank those victories for the next day. (...)

In other words, "just be positive"?
Red Hat powers a bunch of USG supercomputer systems, I suspect their revenue without that would be difficult to sustain.
Yes, but failure to defend a trade mark can result in the loss of legal rights thereto, even when it's obvious that the infringement doesn't matter.

Suppose they had shrugged this off and done nothing. Then a year later I, a rival grocer, open 'Trader Moe's' and open up 50 stores using a very similar business model to Trader Joe's. TJ sues, and my defense is that 'Pirate Joe's infringed on their mark and they did nothing, so I assumed they had abandoned their rights.

This is an affirmative defense in trademark law, by statute, specifically 15 U.S.C. § 1127 A good summary is at http://www3.ce9.uscourts.gov/jury-instructions/node/248

Unlike copyright and patents, trademark durations are infinite, but the price for this is that the owner must aggressively defend any possible infringement or risk a competitor claiming abandonment.

If you were the Chief Marketing Officer of Trader Joe's and I was the CEO, I'd fire you for not knowing this.
Entelo steps up its AI game with $20M Series C
The newspaper business has been losing a lot of money lately. They are just turning into toys for people who want to set the national agenda. Their value as propaganda and PR outlets vastly outweighs their value as subscription collecting or advertising venues. Advertisers will overpay for ads to get a good PR story anyway and with the enormous Web of interlocking ownership these days it's pretty easy to hide the connections.
I would assume that such figures studiously ignore criminal syndicates like the Yakuza.

With apologies to Terry Pratchett: Japan's philosophy is that if you're going to have crime, at least it should be organized crime.

My fiance did a high-school exchange in Japan and mentioned that people with tattoos weren't welcome at onsen because that usually means Yakuza in Japan, and businesses want to steer clear of all of that. If businesses are making rules like that, it's pretty clearly a non-trivial issue.
